Storm Emma meets the Beast
from the East and wreaks | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
chaos across the UK. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
At least three and half thousand
drivers were stranded | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
on the M62 across the Pennines. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
Some managed to get to shelter. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
We landed in Manchester Airport
about two o'clock yesterday and | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
we've been, well, trying
to get home since then. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
Just going around in
circles on the M62. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
Trains grind to a halt. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
Frustrated passengers take matters
into their own hands. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
Medical staff make heroic
efforts to get to work, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
walking ten miles though the snow
there and back. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:43 | |
And, after the snow, flooding hits
parts of the South West. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:49 | |
We'll bring you the latest
on the weather from around the UK. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Also tonight... | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Theresa May sounds a pragmatic note
in her plans for Brexit saying | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
neither side will get
everything they want. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
And as Hollywood prepares
for the Oscars this weekend, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
one of its top stars on sexism
in the movie business. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Coming up on Sportsday
on BBC News... | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Katerina Johnson-Thompson wins her
first global title, taking gold | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
in the pentathlon at
the World Indoor Championships. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:22 | |
Good evening. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
Storm Emma has collided
with the Beast from the East | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
resulting in disruption
across much of Britain. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
Heavy snow is causing
crashes, closing schools, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
stranding rail and air passengers
as well as motorists. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
One of the UK's major arteries,
the M62 across the Pennines, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
is still shut tonight. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
The Army has been called
in around the UK to help. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Strong winds have added to problems,
causing large drifts in places. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
The sheer amount of snow remains
a major concern and even where it's | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
been cleared the freezing
temperatures mean ice | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
is now an added danger. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
Danny Savage reports. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
For the last 24 hours,
the M62 between West Yorkshire and | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Manchester has been a disaster zone. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
Multiple pile-ups
litter the carriageway. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
One driver filmed
this early today... | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Dozens of vehicles written off. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
More than three and a half
thousand motorists were | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
stranded on this road overnight. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Most had been moved by this morning
but hundreds were taken | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
to emergency shelters. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
We landed in Manchester
Airport about two o'clock | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
yesterday and we've been trying
to get home since then. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
The main route from the M3 to
the South West of England, the A303, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:55 | |
also ground to a halt with drivers
defeated by a combination of heavy | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
snow and steep hills. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
I'm trying to get to an old people's
home to get the heating on. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
I've been stuck out here since three
o'clock this afternoon. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
There was some respite at this local
petrol station that helped people | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
through the night. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
We don't usually get snow
here, not like this. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Do you think you're
going to get out of here? | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Yeah. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
Of course we will. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
"There's worse trouble
at sea," granny would say. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
Snowploughs tried their best
but made little progress | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
because of the trapped vehicles. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
From Yorkshire to the Scottish
border, nearly every route linking | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
east and west was closed. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
Somewhere under here
is the A66 in Cumbria. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
Even the gritters aren't
venturing out this far. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
This should normally be a busy dual
carriageway over the | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Pennines but it has
been shut for days. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
It probably won't open for days yet
and it's all because of these gale | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
force winds just blowing the snow
constantly across the carriageway. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
Police are patrolling the roads
to discourage people | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
from ignoring the closures. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
These conditions are some of
the worst I've seen for many years. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
The A66 is always one
that's a problem area. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
As you can see today,
this is particularly bad. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Trying to get this open
is impossible at the moment. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
In Hampshire, the 17:05 Waterloo
to Weymouth train last night | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
unintentionally turned
into a sleeper service. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:25 | |
Passengers were stuck
on board for 13 hours | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
as the train lost power. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
The heating then failed
in the freezing conditions. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
They managed to restore power
so we had lights but we had no | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
heating and things like the buffet
car had run out of food and drink | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
earlier on in the evening. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
So, it was a pretty cold night. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
In Shropshire, huge snowdrifts
blocked country roads as | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
an army of farmers set out across
Britain to try and clear them. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
Neighbouring Worcestershire also saw
several inches of snow. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
Across the border into
Wales, three people were | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
rescued after getting buried by
drifts in their car near Cowbridge. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
They had to sound their horn
to guide searchers in. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
In Ebbw Vale, firefighters
were called in to dig | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
their way into this house. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
Back in the high Pennines, keeping
livestock fed was a priority. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Keeping them watered
though is a problem. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
The water's frozen,
that's the main thing, | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
in the house and out of the house. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
So, just watering animals is a big
chore at the minute and just | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
trying to feed up and getting to
the sheep that are three miles away, | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
just trying to get there is fun
and games at the minute really. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
Delivering supplies by any means
possible will be normality in much | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
of Britain this weekend. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
There's no obvious
sign of a thaw yet. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
Danny Savage, BBC News. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:40 | |
The extreme weather has affected
emergency teams too, | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
with South Western Ambulance Service
telling people not to call | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
unless there is a threat to life. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
Across the UK, many doctors,
nurses and support staff have walked | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
through snow and ice in an attempt
to ease the pressure on services. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
From the Royal Devon and Exeter
Hospital, Jon Kay reports. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:02 | |
This is the road to Exeter's main
hospital, serving nearly | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
half a million people. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
Hey, Anna, how are you getting on? | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
In A&E, eight-year-old Anna has
come off her sledge. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
You've got a headache now, have you? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
Are you hungry at all? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
And she might need a scan. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
Her doctor is one of many who have
struggled into work. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
She should be fine. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
OK, great, thank you. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
How did you get in? | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
I cycled on a mountain bike. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
That's about five miles. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
There was a lot of pushing -
just trying to get a bit | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
of traction in the snow. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
We were out walking
the dogs last night. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
Junior doctor Chris is helping
Debbie, who slipped on the ice. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
Wait till you hear
about his journey to work. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
I walked about ten miles
from Exeter into hospital. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:49 | |
, from Exmouth. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:50 | |
And then you'll have
to walk ten miles back. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Yeah, just like last night. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Did it cross your mind to call
in and say, "I can't make it today, | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
I'm going to have a snow day." | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
No. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
I think you do certain jobs and you
have a certain responsibility. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
40 staff slept in the hospital
overnight after a critical | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
incident was declared here. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:07 | |
Phil also stayed over. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:08 | |
He couldn't move his iced up car
after visiting his wife | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
on the surgical ward. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
More than a hundred relatives
were given a place to sleep. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
It's been absolutely fantastic. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:16 | |
I can't thank people enough. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
I couldn't have wished
for a better stay. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
You make it sound like a hotel? | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
Well, it has been. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
No traffic jams in this city today
but emergency crews have struggled | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
to reach casualties. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
South Western Ambulance saying only
call 909 if it's life-threatening. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:38 | |
Among the walking wounded,
plenty of breaks, sprains and cuts, | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
most of them weather-related. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
The worst one is just here. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Pete fell in the snow. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:45 | |
It could have been much worse. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
There were other people
in here who have had a lot more | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
serious accidents than I have. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:53 | |
After a tough winter,
and an exhausting 48-hours, | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
there are more weather
challenges to come. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:01 | |
The hospital's chief nurse now
has to find extra staff | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
for the next few days. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
We are calling out now
for registered nurses in particular, | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
if they are able to get
here, could they come? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
Particularly this weekend so we can
get through the weekend. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:19 | |
Back in Casualty, Anna
is making progress | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
after her sledging accident. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:22 | |
Her dad is a local farmer
and tonight he'll be clearing | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
roads with his tractor,
so the hospital can keep running. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
Well, Jon Kay filmed that report
earlier today in Exeter. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
He's a glutton for punishment. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
He's now moved on to Dawlish
on the south Devon coast, | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
where there's flooding,
just to add to the problems. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:43 | |
John, it looks pretty grim there.
Yes, Fiona, good evening. Almost | 0:08:44 | 0:08:50 | |
every train operator in the country
has been affected by the weather in | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
some weight today here at Dawlish
which is where the train line runs | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
right next to the sea it is
particularly bad. At the moment no | 0:08:57 | 0:09:02 | |
trains can come through because of
flooding we had earlier caused by | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
storm Emma. That means the far
south-west of England is cut off | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
from the rest of the rail network.
Nowhere near as bad as it was four | 0:09:10 | 0:09:16 | |
years ago in the floods when the
train line was left hanging in | 0:09:16 | 0:09:23 | |
midair. This time it should be fixed
within about 36 hours, fingers | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
crossed full stop this incident is a
reminder of just how vulnerable this | 0:09:25 | 0:09:30 | |
stretch of track is and this in the
very week that politicians have been | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
debating what to do about the
long-term resilience, the long-term | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
future of this infrastructure.
Tonight in the short term I can tell | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
you that temperatures are rising in
South Devon, the icy snow melting | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
and thawing quickly. For people who
live around here, they are looking | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
at flood alerts and not just high
tides for tomorrow morning. Thank | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
you. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
There was trouble on
the trains this evening | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
in South London after delayed
passengers started | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
jumping on to the tracks. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
Come on. There we are. Nice and
smooth. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:13 | |
People stuck on a train
near Lewisham forced open the doors | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
and began walking down the tracks. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:17 | |
People stuck on a train
near Lewisham forced open the doors | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
and began walking down
the railway line. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 | |
Operator Southeastern warned
they couldn't run the trains | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
while people were near the tracks. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
In Scotland, the worst
of the weather may be over. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
But days of appalling
conditions is having an impact | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
on farmers and food supply. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
Our Scotland Correspondent, Lorna
Gordon, reports from Kilbarchan. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:32 | |
The rolling hills of Renfrewshire, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:38 | |
pretty, but the conditions making it | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
challenging. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
The best way to reach
this farm, by foot. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
They are doing their best to get
milk out but they have | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
had just one tanker
in and they do not expect another. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
You see the snowdrifts coming
down the road yourself. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
It is up above my shoulders. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
We can't get the milk vans out,
the milk tankers in, | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
we cannot get feed stuff in. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
You just don't know where to turn. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
These cows produce 2000
litres of milk every day. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
This farm is not alone
in facing big challenges | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
in getting its milk to the shops. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
It is thought a significant number
of farmers here in Scotland are now | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
having to dispose of their milk. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
In local shops, some essentials
are in short supply. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:27 | |
I came with my studs on all the way
down the road to get milk, | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
and there was no milk. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
No milk anywhere. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:33 | |
We've come back for a second loaf. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
We figured we'd best get two. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Apparently, there is not much left
anywhere, so we did the right thing. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:48 | |
Empty shelves seen in some stores
elsewhere. Those tasked with getting | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
through say this weather is the
worst that has been seen in decades. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:58 | |
We have never seen as much snow as
this. We are delivering milk to | 0:11:58 | 0:12:05 | |
Dumfries in the south. We have
never, ever seen this. Once the snow | 0:12:05 | 0:12:11 | |
melts, stocks will reach the shops
once more. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:18 | |
once more. Easing the pressure on
farms like this who are trying to | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
keep their customers with milk. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
With freezing temperatures
continuing well into next week, | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
and possibly the week after,
there's little sign of let-up | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
in the bitter weather. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
Let's speak to our Wales
correspondent, Sian Lloyd, who's | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
in the Vale of Glamorgan. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
That is an incredible amount of snow
behind you. Yes. There are many | 0:12:35 | 0:12:42 | |
scenes like this to be seen right
across the bail of Glamorgan. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
Drifting snow is a real problem. --
the Vale of Glamorgan. We have been | 0:12:46 | 0:12:53 | |
out to about across this county
today and have seen many local | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
farmers out in their tractors trying
to clear the country roads which are | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
so important to the local
population. There has been such a | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
heavy demand on the snowploughs and
gritters. They cannot get | 0:13:04 | 0:13:12 | |
everywhere. Many major routes have
been closed. Lots of local providers | 0:13:12 | 0:13:17 | |
have not been able to operate their
services, so very limited public | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
transport. Some 2000 homes across
the country here are without power | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
and also all of the schools were
closed here again today. We are on | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
the yellow warning like many parts
of the UK. Plummeting temperatures. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:36 | |
It is bitterly cold here tonight but
it is expected to freeze and we're | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
not sure what we will wake up to
tomorrow. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
Other news now, and Theresa
May has outlined her | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
vision of Britain's
future relationship | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
with the European Union. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:48 | |
She warned that both sides
would have to accept "hard facts" | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
and that no one would get
everything they want. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
She said the UK would have to pay
money into some EU agencies | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
to maintain access to them. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:57 | |
And she repeated her commitment that
that Britain would NOT be part | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
of the EU's single market or
customs union. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:02 | |
Our Political Editor,
Laura Kuenssberg, was | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
watching the speech. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Roll up, roll up. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
A hot ticket for a certain
kind of audience. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
Looking forward to the speech. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
Ministers and diplomats
arriving for a speech. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:15 | |
Can you unite the party, sir? | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
That will affect us all. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
And it matters to her survival, too. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:23 | |
With controversy never far away. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:29 | |
The first message -
no more promises that after Brexit, | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
we can have it all, to trade just
as we do now or be completely free | 0:14:33 | 0:14:39 | |
from the European courts. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:40 | |
I want to be straight
with people because the reality | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
is that we all need to face up
to some hard facts. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
We are leaving the single market. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
Life is going to be different. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
In certain ways our access to each
other's markets will be | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
less than it is now. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
The second hard fact is that even
after we have left the jurisdiction | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
of the European Court of Justice,
EU law and the decisions of the ECJ | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
will continue to affect us. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
Out of the single market
and the customs union, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
she confirmed, yet no new answer
to one of the hardest parts. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
We don't want to go back
to a hard border in Ireland. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
We've ruled out any physical
infrastructure at the border or any | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
related checks and controls. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
But it's not good enough to say,
"We won't introduce a hard border. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
"If the EU forces Ireland to do it,
that is down to them". | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
We chose to leave and we
have a responsibility | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
to help find a solution. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
But we can't do it on our own. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
It is for all of us
to work together. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
More details on how she wants much
of the economy to stay closer | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
to the EU, but the Prime Minister
wants the right to pick | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
and choose when and how. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
The Commission has suggested
that the only option available | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
to the UK is an off-the-shelf model. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
We both need to face the fact
that this is a negotiation | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
and neither of us can have exactly
what we want. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
The fact is that every free trade
agreement has varying market access | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
depending on the respective
interests of the countries involved. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
If this is cherry picking,
then every trade arrangement | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
is cherry picking. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
Last, an answer to claims her plans
are too vague and unreal. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:26 | |
We know what we want. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
We understand your principles. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
We have a shared interest
in getting this right. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
So let's get on with it. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
Thank you. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:16:38 | 0:16:43 | |
Do you accept now that we can't
have it all as we leave? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
Secondly, you have outlined today
you want to pick and mix, | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
even though the EU has repeatedly
rejected that approach. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
What is it do you think you can say
to your EU leaders that | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
will actually change their minds? | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
I'm confident as we come and sit
down together we will be able | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
to show that mutual interest
and mutual benefit from | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
the proposals I have put forward. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
After weeks of internal Tory
wrangling, the Prime Minister has | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
made gathered Tory grandees content. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:16 | |
This is about finding a way through
that will work for everybody. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
Why have you spent so long saying
we can have everything? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
You said we could have
the exact same benefits? | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
I said that is the aspiration. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
What were aiming at here,
and what the Prime Miniester said | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
clearly, is that we want
to have a complete | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
tariff-free arrangement. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
We want to have mutual recognition. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
All those things, not
just in our interest, | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
they are in Europe's interest
and that is why we will get them. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
What happens if the
European Union says no? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
The invitation that was made through
the speech the Prime Minister made | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
was to apply a cool head to some
very important, mutual problems, | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
but also opportunities. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
An outbreak of Tory unity? | 0:17:58 | 0:17:59 | |
The Foreign Secretary was grounded
by snow but gave a thumbs up, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
and Brexiteers and Remainers
followed suit, for now. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
Governor, were you happy
with what you heard? | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
Others, like the Bank
of England governor, | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
less keen to give their verdict. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
The opposition, unimpressed. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
I think it will be judged
as yet more confusion | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
on the road to complications. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
What we need is a set of objectives
which means we can protect | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
jobs in this country. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:31 | |
Number Ten has pressed
its case with more detail | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
and realism than before. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:34 | |
That could make a difference
to the next steps of | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
this lengthy tangle. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
But there are plenty of audiences
making demands of Theresa May, | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
who will still demand yet more. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:42 | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:47 | |
With a year to go until Britain
leaves the EU, how do voters feel | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
the government is getting on? | 0:18:51 | 0:18:52 | |
Our Deputy Political Editor,
John Pienaar, has been to Reading | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
to gauge feelings there. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
Brexit is a complete mess. | 0:18:58 | 0:18:59 | |
Not quick enough, not doing enough. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
Did you really think it was going
to be simple and quick and easy? | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
I know people said it would be. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
Did you think it would be? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
I thought it would be. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
I didn't think it would take two
years to come out of it. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
Why should we have to give them
all this money back? | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
We've paid for it over the years. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
I'm sure we've paid more than most. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
You think just walk? | 0:19:20 | 0:19:21 | |
Yeah, definitely, yeah. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:22 | |
I think we're just a silly
government, to be honest with you. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
How many kids have you got? | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
These are your kids, right? | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
We've got eight kids. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:28 | |
You've got eight kids. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:29 | |
Congratulations. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Are you worried about their future? | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
Or optimistic? | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
Slightly on the fence,
because I don't see how | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
the economy is going to get any
better by leaving. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
I think it could really
only get worse. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
I think the question
is how much worse. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
At the moment, I don't really
have a clue, because they haven't | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
set out a clear picture,
and they haven't done | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
all the tests to decide how
good or bad it will be. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
Theresa May? | 0:19:58 | 0:19:59 | |
She's not doing too bad a job. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
She's just between a rock
and a hard place with | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
what she's got to work with. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
My vision for the future
economic partnership | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
between the United Kingdom
and the European Union... | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
I feel people have been a bit hard
on her because she's | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
been given probably the worst
possible situation. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
What about you? | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
Do you want to cut the Prime
Minister some slack on this? | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
Yeah. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:24 | |
I think she gets a worse rap than... | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
It's very easy to scapegoat
her and I do feel bad | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
for her in that sense. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
I feel she has done an awful
lot of flip-flopping. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
She really needs to sort of maybe
pick a direction and go with it. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:37 | |
Greater steps need to be
made to re-establish | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
the country's opinion on this. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:40 | |
There's a lot of people that
have changed their mind | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
since the last Brexit referendum. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:44 | |
Maybe doing another referendum would
be a good idea at the very least, | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
just to re-establish where we are,
prove maybe that the government | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
is on the right path,
or show the government | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
that they aren't. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:53 | |
In the end, can it work? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:54 | |
It has to. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:55 | |
Or else we're in a lot of trouble. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
Theresa May, her mission today
is to see Britain more | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
united after Brexit. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
Can that be done? | 0:21:04 | 0:21:05 | |
Brexit has separated our country
and I think it could make it worse | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
and it's very sad to see. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
I think we've just got to live
with it and move on. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
We've got to stick together. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:15 | |
Here's hoping. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:16 | |
Cheers. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
John Pienaar, BBC News, Reading. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:25 | |
Katya Adler, who is in Brussels. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
How did the speech go down there? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:34 | |
The EU has long been pressing
Theresa May for more details of her | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
Brexit vision and today they got the
details aplenty. There have been | 0:21:38 | 0:21:43 | |
working groups studying the Prime
Minister's speech of this evening | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
from all 27 countries and privately
EU diplomats have told me they | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
praised Theresa May's constructive
approach in her speech, her more | 0:21:51 | 0:21:56 | |
realistic approach, they said,
saying that of course not everybody | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
can have everything they want out of
the agreement. But they pointed out | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
that on the big picture they did not
see much new in the Prime Minister's | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
speech policy wise. The EU chief
negotiator tweeted that now that the | 0:22:07 | 0:22:13 | |
Prime Minister had confirmed the UK
would be leaving the single market | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
and the customs union, he could
confirm that the UK was heading | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
towards a free trade agreement with
the EU, meaning nothing really | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
closer than that. So the EU is still
by jesting what the Prime Minister | 0:22:23 | 0:22:29 | |
said, and apart from those who said
they regretted that she did not come | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
to any concrete proposal as to how
to solve the Irish problem, another | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
EU diplomat said to me this evening
that they were looking for clues as | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
to what might become future UK
policy at negotiations. The very | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
same happened, he said, after the
last Brexit speech the Prime | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
Minister made in autumn. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
Laura, was the speech enough
to placate the Leave and Remain | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
camps within the Tory Party? | 0:22:56 | 0:23:02 | |
For now, tonight, yes. That does not
mean they will swallow the | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
compromises she says they will have
to make in the longer term, but in | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
terms of this speech, Number Ten
believes this has been a step | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
forward, if not a giant leap. There
are still contradictions. There was | 0:23:12 | 0:23:17 | |
no dramatic evidence of new
thinking. But there was a new layer | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
of detail and most importantly as
far as Downing Street sees it, a | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
message to the EU, let's do a deal.
And a signal, a concrete, over | 0:23:25 | 0:23:31 | |
signal from the Prime Minister for
the first time that she knows that | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
she will have to make compromises.
She knows that Britain will not be | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
able to get everything on its list.
But also a message, pushing back, | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
saying you will have to compromise
too. It is legitimate to question | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
why it has taken so long for her to
strike this note of realism. She has | 0:23:47 | 0:23:52 | |
been dealing with political
difficulties in her own party. But | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
tonight, inside the Conservative
Party, both sides have broadly | 0:23:56 | 0:24:02 | |
swallowed this speech. Number Ten
believes it has been received pretty | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
much as well as it might have been,
and rather than Brexiteers and | 0:24:04 | 0:24:10 | |
Remainers, they are hoping for a
pragmatic approach, people who are | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
willing to be realistic and
pragmatic. But this will be tested | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
at an important summit three weeks
to night, when Great Britain is very | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
keen that point to be able to show
real progress. We will see. Thank | 0:24:21 | 0:24:27 | |
you. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
In Syria, the UN says 24 hospitals
and clinics are now known | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
to have been hit in the Syrian
military's bombardment | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
of a rebel-held area near Damascus. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:35 | |
It says a high number of civilians
are being killed and injured every | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
day in Eastern Ghouta,
despite the UN calling | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
for a ceasefire nearly a week ago. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
Our Middle East Editor, Jeremy
Bowen, is in Damascus tonight. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
So, a ceasefire in name only? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:52 | |
There is no ceasefire at the moment.
The UN resolution exists on paper, | 0:24:52 | 0:24:58 | |
but it does not exist in reality.
President Putin of Russia, his | 0:24:58 | 0:25:04 | |
so-called humanitarian pause has,
today, quiet and things down in the | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
morning. But it started up again.
After that, I saw warplanes bombing | 0:25:08 | 0:25:14 | |
targets in Eastern Ghouta. The thing
about the war here in Syria, not | 0:25:14 | 0:25:19 | |
just in Eastern Ghouta, is that at
the end of last year people were | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
hoping that maybe it was winding
down. But the evidence of this year | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
is that it has changed shape, but it
has escalated. Unicef, the | 0:25:27 | 0:25:33 | |
children's fund of the United
Nations, have said that something | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
like 1000 children this year have
either been killed by the war or | 0:25:36 | 0:25:41 | |
seriously injured. So while the
level of rhetoric condemning what is | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
happening here has once again ticked
up, as a matter of fact, once again, | 0:25:45 | 0:25:56 | |
international diplomacy, those who
want to stop the war, have failed | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
once again. Thank you. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
A 21-year-old man who
tried to kill a woman | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
because she was wearing a hijab
has been found guilty | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
of attempted murder. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:09 | |
Paul Moore, from Leicester,
choose Zaynab Hussein at random | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
and ran her over in his car. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:12 | |
He later told his half-brother he'd
"done it for Britain". | 0:26:12 | 0:26:16 | |
Moore was also convicted
of using his car to seriously injure | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
a 12-year-old Muslim schoolgirl. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
He'll be sentenced later this month. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle will invite more | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
than 2500 members of
the public to the grounds | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
of Windsor Castle for their wedding. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
They'll be able to watch
the couple arrive and depart. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
Charity workers and school
children will be amongst | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
those invited to attend. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:41 | |
This weekend, Hollywood celebrates
its 90th year of the Oscars, | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
after a tumultuous year for the film
industry, following the sex | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
abuse scandal involving
Harvey Weinstein and others. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:52 | |
The actor Heather Graham is one
of a number of women who accused him | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
of sexual harassment. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:56 | |
Now she's written and
directed her first film | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
about sexism in Hollywood. | 0:26:58 | 0:26:59 | |
She spoke to our Arts
Editor, Will Gompertz. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
Why are we sitting around talking
about how sad our lives are? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
We should be talking
about how great we are. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
Half Magic is a romcom,
in which three women decide to start | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
asserting themselves,
to take a stand against the men | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
who are undermining them. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
I am so relieved that
you find me attractive, | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
but when can you read the script
that we wrote? | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Heather Graham plays a junior
film executive whose | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
career is being frustrated
by a mean, sexist boss. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
Your boobs are too big. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
Whose interest is focused
on her body, not her mind. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
I wrote this movie because years
before that I worked on developing | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
movies that I wanted to get made,
women's stories that I wanted | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
to act in and produce
and I couldn't get them made. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
So this movie was my
reaction to that. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
Why couldn't you get them made? | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
People would say that
I wasn't a big enough star, | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
that no one cares about women's
stories, that women's | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
movies don't make money. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
They would say if you want to get
a movie made, write about a man. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |
Let's make a pact to be
with good guys only, | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
guys who treat us great
like we deserve. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
If you think about how many levels
that a woman has to get | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
through to get a movie made
and seen, you have to go | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
through so many levels
of male-dominated businesses. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
First of all you have
to have the idea that | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
you can ever do this,
which there's not a lot | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
of role models out there. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:13 | |
Then you've got to get
someone to finance it, | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
which is usually a man. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:16 | |
Then you have to get
someone to distribute it, | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
which is usually a man. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:19 | |
Then when it comes out,
you have to get a bunch of male | 0:28:19 | 0:28:23 | |
journalists to not say
that the movie sucks. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:24 | |
So that you can get to your
audience, which is women. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
So all the different steps
that you need to get | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
through to get to women,
which hopefully men will watch it | 0:28:30 | 0:28:32 | |
too, but you are mainly
going for women. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:34 | |
You have to go through like walls
and walls of men to get your | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
project out in the world. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:39 | |
Why did you break up with me? | 0:28:39 | 0:28:40 | |
Why did you break up with me? | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
All I wanted to do was love
you and mentor you and help | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
you achieve your true potential. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:46 | |
I'm sorry, I don't know what to say. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
I had a business meeting with a guy. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
I sent in the script. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:51 | |
I said, "I want to get this movie
made, I want to empower women". | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
We had this business meeting,
he doesn't finance the movie. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
I run into him at a party
and he said, "Oh, that was so fun | 0:28:57 | 0:29:01 | |
"when we had that date
the other day". | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
The lunch meeting where I asked him
to finance my movie. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
I said, "That wasn't a date,
that was a business meeting". | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
How long ago was this? | 0:29:08 | 0:29:09 | |
This was like two years ago. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:11 | |
And do you think if that happened
today it would be different? | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
I think today men are starting
to think about their behaviour | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
and they are starting to question
if, you know, how they should treat | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
women in the workplace,
which is a good thing. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
Will Gompertz, BBC News, Hollywood. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:23 | |
There is definitely a change of tone
here in Hollywood. The question is, | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
will it be reflected at the Academy
Awards which take place just over | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
there in a little over 48 was. Will
Rachel Maskell and be the first | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
female singer -- cinematographer to
win the Oscar? Will Greta girl wig | 0:29:33 | 0:29:41 | |
win Best director? And will Francis
McDormand, as many people think, win | 0:29:41 | 0:29:46 | |
best actor for her portrayal of
Mildred Hayes in three billboards | 0:29:46 | 0:29:52 | |
outside ebbing, Missouri, which
captured the angry female point of | 0:29:52 | 0:29:56 | |
view which many feel is the essence
of the times up movement. | 0:29:56 | 0:30:01 | |
Let's return to our main story, | 0:30:01 | 0:30:02 | |
and the snow that's brought chaos
to much of the UK. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:05 | |
Amid the misery this week for many
stuck in cars, on trains, | 0:30:05 | 0:30:08 | |
struggling into work, there have
also been stories of great | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
heroism and of those who've gone out
of their way to come | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
to the aid of others. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:14 | |
Sarah Campbell reports. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:15 | |
An out-of-control car ends
up on the wrong side | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
of this Edinburgh road. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:19 | |
A collision seems inevitable. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
No, no, no, no! | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
That it didn't happen
is thanks to the quick | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
reactions of the bus driver. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
To me, it looks worse on the video
than I felt at the time. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:35 | |
I did get a fright,
but I managed to avoid it, | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
luckily, and then I got
on with my job after that. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
I totally forgot all about it
until I got home and my husband | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
asked me if I had seen this video. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:47 | |
He didn't know it was
me that was driving. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
Born in Balgedie, Fife. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:52 | |
Despite the village
being all but cut off, | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |
midwives made it to the mum to help
with the delivery and local farmers | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
cleared the roads to get both Mum
and baby safely to hospital. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:03 | |
And stranded drivers on the A1
in Northumberland were treated | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
to cream cakes and muffins,
handed out by a fellow | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
motorist who happened to be
a delivery driver for Greggs. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:13 | |
In Birmingham, this businessman
paid for 12 hotel rooms, | 0:31:13 | 0:31:15 | |
which he then offered
to homeless people. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
You can't expect people
to be out in that, it's | 0:31:18 | 0:31:22 | |
life-threatening, really. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:24 | |
So I just thought, for the sake
of £15, £20, it gets a few | 0:31:24 | 0:31:28 | |
people off the streets. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
And stuck in Skegness
without an event to go to, | 0:31:30 | 0:31:32 | |
the BBC's Concert Orchestra
offered their services as a wedding | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
gift to fellow hotel
guests on their big day. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:40 | |
When they started, it
took your breath away. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
Oh, yeah. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:43 | |
Very unexpected. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:49 | |
Amid freezing temperatures,
the warmth of human | 0:31:49 | 0:31:50 | |
kindness has resonated. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
