:02:04. > :02:08.taken by one of the astronauts on board the International Space
:02:09. > :02:14.Station. On the ground the impact of the typhoon is hard to absorb. At
:02:15. > :02:18.least 10,000 feared dead in Tacloban, that is one small city on
:02:19. > :02:21.one of thousands of islands. We need food, water, we have
:02:22. > :02:41.one of thousands of islands. We need from the staff and volunteers of the
:02:42. > :02:44.Philippine Red Cross on the ground, they are liking the scenes they are
:02:45. > :02:49.coming across to those of the tsunami. It is the same devastation,
:02:50. > :02:53.the flattened houses, the desperate needs of the people on the ground.
:02:54. > :02:57.Clearly at this point we are still not getting the full information on
:02:58. > :03:02.the scale of the disaster, I mean we're hearing huge figures from the
:03:03. > :03:05.UN today of 9. 8 million but we won't have access to all the
:03:06. > :03:09.seriously affected areas. When this kind of extreme weather event hits,
:03:10. > :03:13.people will inevitably ask whether it can be linked to climate change.
:03:14. > :03:18.Whether we might have made the situation worse. Well single events
:03:19. > :03:24.are hard to attribute to climate change, and typhoons and tropical

:03:29. > :03:30.Looking ahead to coming decades the expectation is the intensity of this

:03:51. > :03:56.This is not strange in that regard. We do see if we look into the
:03:57. > :04:00.future, the models suggest that in future when the sea surface
:04:01. > :04:04.temperatures warm up that we can expect to get more intense tropical
:04:05. > :04:11.cyclones. The imprint of this typhoon is plane
:04:12. > :04:16.from these before and after photographs. Cargo ships washed
:04:17. > :04:19.ashore, houses with their roofs ripped off. It is harder to imagine
:04:20. > :04:23.a more intense storm, what might that mean for Governments planning
:04:24. > :04:27.ahead for such events, trying to minimise the loss of life. We need a
:04:28. > :04:31.good hindsight we view to see what was done and how well it was done.
:04:32. > :04:34.The Philippines is generally well prepared, given its level of
:04:35. > :04:38.resources. It suffers from floods, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis,
:04:39. > :04:59.major volcanic eruptions and it is earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis,
:05:00. > :05:03.inhabitants. This island nation has a culture of dealing with the
:05:04. > :05:08.destructive forces of nature, yet it has been overwhelmed. The typhoon
:05:09. > :05:13.weakened over Vietnam and into southern China. If, in the future,
:05:14. > :05:16.the intensity of such storms does increase, aid agencies will need to
:05:17. > :05:20.plan for an even bigger response for the years ahead. We will have an
:05:21. > :05:25.obligation to work much harder to persuade the donor community to
:05:26. > :05:29.invest in that preparedness beforehand. As you can see with the
:05:30. > :05:34.access issues now, the best is to have people and goods in place
:05:35. > :05:37.before the event. We had a good indication this was coming, it was
:05:38. > :05:41.hard to mobilise the support up front. I think that will be our
:05:42. > :05:47.challenge if the typhoon seasons start to increase in impact. Once
:05:48. > :05:49.all the data is in, this may turn out to be the strongest recorded
:05:50. > :06:12.typhoon ever out to be the strongest recorded
:06:13. > :06:16.been devastateded. -- devastated. What are you seeing? The rain that
:06:17. > :06:20.Susan was talking about, possibly coming. It has arrived here. We have
:06:21. > :06:26.had torrential downpours overnight. I counted at least four. And this in
:06:27. > :06:30.an already very bad situation, the one thing that really stands out
:06:31. > :06:36.here is that there are virtually no buildings with their roofs intact.
:06:37. > :06:41.So this means even where people are not in the total devastation area,
:06:42. > :06:46.they are living in buildings without roofs, with the rain that is falling
:06:47. > :06:49.the miserable situation is even worse. Are the authorities in
:06:50. > :06:55.control, can you say there is law and order or something like it? We
:06:56. > :06:59.see very little of the authorities over the last two days here. There
:07:00. > :07:00.is no real presence of troops or police
:07:01. > :07:18.is no real presence of troops or have been able to survive for the
:07:19. > :07:23.last three days on the little food that they have. But everywhere we
:07:24. > :07:27.went on Monday people kept saying to us, please help us, we have no food,
:07:28. > :07:31.our children are hungry, when is the Government going to come and help
:07:32. > :07:35.us. There is a real sense that they are not getting any help. We are now
:07:36. > :07:40.into I think, we could count this as the fifth day starting now since the
:07:41. > :07:43.disaster struck. There isn't still any sense of the Government arriving
:07:44. > :07:51.here and giving people the help they need. We have the chief executive of
:07:52. > :07:54.Save The Children in the studio. It is obviously appalling, but do we
:07:55. > :07:58.have any sense actually of how bad it is. There must be lots of places
:07:59. > :08:01.that nobody from outside has been to yet? No we don't have any sense. We
:08:02. > :08:06.only have the reports from teams on the ground, like the Save The
:08:07. > :08:08.Children team I spoke to earlier, saying how desperate it is getting
:08:09. > :08:28.in places like Tacloban. That saying how desperate it is getting
:08:29. > :08:32.to focus on. The danger is, if we don't get enough aid in, it will be
:08:33. > :08:36.pregnant mum, it will be children who won't get that aid. We have to
:08:37. > :08:40.get food and water in very quickly. David Cameron as you know has
:08:41. > :08:44.announced a total of ?10 million in British aid. HMS Daring is going
:08:45. > :08:48.from Singapore to the Philippines and an RAF C-17, those are broadly
:08:49. > :08:52.the right things? They are the right things to do, the most important
:08:53. > :08:56.thing tomorrow is to open Tacloban Airport fully. It is partly
:08:57. > :09:01.operational but we need it to be a 24-hour round the clock air HUB to
:09:02. > :09:06.get the aid in. We can't get it in by road, there is another regional
:09:07. > :09:10.hub on another island not too far away, but it is ferry and roads, it
:09:11. > :09:14.might take ten-hours of driving with the roads blocked and only
:09:15. > :09:16.motorbikes on them. We need to get the air hub and get into Tacloban
:09:17. > :09:37.and spread out to other parts of the air hub and get into Tacloban
:09:38. > :09:41.events. In Africa, for example. When I was in west Africa recently old
:09:42. > :09:45.men were tell Muslim League they used -- men were telling me they
:09:46. > :09:49.used to have a drought every ten years and now it is every two years.
:09:50. > :09:54.Communities are facing extreme weather change. We can argue about
:09:55. > :09:58.climb plate change, but including typhoons like this, you can't
:09:59. > :10:03.attribute to it, but the impotencity must be connected with some --
:10:04. > :10:07.intensity must be connected with some form of climate change. We need
:10:08. > :10:13.to put preparedness measures in place. You presumably learn from
:10:14. > :10:17.every one of these disasters to do better. Preparedness, is that
:10:18. > :10:20.difficult for donors to stump up for, people look at this and
:10:21. > :10:24.understand why they have to give cash, but don't think in advance of
:10:25. > :10:26.a disaster that they should do that? It is the most important investment.
:10:27. > :10:47.We have had a storm in India where It is the most important investment.
:10:48. > :10:51.a lot of food and water in. And we are sending a plane in tomorrow. The
:10:52. > :10:54.most important thing is to have local communities trained in that
:10:55. > :11:05.preparedness in place. One of your own work Workers went in earlier,
:11:06. > :11:09.she went in to what is this? We sent six people into the eye of the storm
:11:10. > :11:13.to be ready when it hit. We lost contact for three days. We were very
:11:14. > :11:19.worried they lost their lives. They survived but many people haven't. We
:11:20. > :11:23.now need to act very quickly. All the organisation, us, Oxfam, the
:11:24. > :11:30.United Nations are there ready to help. But we do need to get this air
:11:31. > :11:32.hub functioning to get huge amounts of aid in. We need to get aid to
:11:33. > :11:56.people. Coming up: of aid in. We need to get aid to
:11:57. > :12:01.at the moment. One of the called schemes is the green levy, they
:12:02. > :12:07.charge customers extra on their bills to do with green issues. ECO
:12:08. > :12:11.is supposed to help the poorest customers afford insulation or new
:12:12. > :12:15.boilers. A Freedom of Information request has revealed the energy
:12:16. > :12:19.companies supposed to help customers are reaching a tiny fraction of the
:12:20. > :12:26.eligible households. We have been finding out where the money from
:12:27. > :12:31.your bills is going? ?57 that is the amount the average bill payer is
:12:32. > :12:39.forced to pay to their energy company to fix up other people's
:12:40. > :12:44.draftee houses. New wall insulation put on these homes in Nottingham.
:12:45. > :12:47.Clashing bills, relieving fuel poverty and cutting carbon
:12:48. > :13:18.emissions, this is what British Gas is among the companies
:13:19. > :13:24.saying hitting ECO targets will hit far more than the Government says.
:13:25. > :13:33.Not ?57 but ?90 a bill payer. One of the factors outside is pushing bills
:13:34. > :13:36.up. But EON is far ahead with fixing up deals with local authorities and
:13:37. > :13:42.fixing en masse and to budget. Elaine is an NPower customer, her
:13:43. > :13:46.daughter is with British Gas. But it was EON that did their free
:13:47. > :13:49.insulation. The floors are a lot warmer, first thing in the morning
:13:50. > :13:54.they used to be really cold to stand on, they are a lot warmer. I used to
:13:55. > :13:56.put two quilts on my bed in the winter, now I only have the one on.
:13:57. > :14:15.You get out of bed in winter, now I only have the one on.
:14:16. > :14:20.reason is they have to hit targets for helping people by March 2015, if
:14:21. > :14:23.they don't they can get fined 10% of turnover. In the case of British Gas
:14:24. > :14:28.for example that could be hundreds of millions of pounds.
:14:29. > :14:31.The Government won't disclose details of low income customers from
:14:32. > :14:35.the benefits system, so it costs firms hundreds of pounds to find
:14:36. > :14:38.them. Customers aren't always willing to tell but their personal
:14:39. > :14:41.circumstances, some customers are proud about their personal
:14:42. > :14:44.circumstances and don't want to tell you they are vulnerable, they have
:14:45. > :14:47.to sign up to being vulnerable in front of people they don't
:14:48. > :14:51.particularly know. For some people they don't want to have to admit to
:14:52. > :14:54.these things. It is hard work to find customers and the whole he
:14:55. > :14:58.industry and the whole country could benefit if we were to share data
:14:59. > :15:02.better with the Department of Work and d Pensions.

:15:26. > :15:28.weakened rather than delivering the support the bill payers need to see.
:15:29. > :15:32.It is vital that the Government doesn't bow down to this pressure
:15:33. > :15:35.from the energy companies and makes sure that this support for energy
:15:36. > :15:41.efficiency improvement stays in place. Like other companies, EON is
:15:42. > :15:47.expected to have to raise bills in the coming weeks with talk from the
:15:48. > :15:52.Prime Minister of rolling back green taxes. NPower says it is still
:15:53. > :15:56.confident it will meet its target, as does British Gas with projects
:15:57. > :16:01.worth ?900 million. Meanwhile we are all paying for ECO through our
:16:02. > :16:04.bills. If it is going to work they will have to step up the pace.
:16:05. > :16:08.We asked representatives of the energy companies and ministers from
:16:09. > :16:14.the department for energy and climate change, to come on to
:16:15. > :16:15.Newsnight to talk to us about ECO, but nobody was available. Happily
:16:16. > :16:36.the Shadow Energy Minister, and ECO for adding on to our bills.
:16:37. > :16:39.This Freedom of Information that the think-tank has asked from the
:16:40. > :16:42.regulator, we can see three of the energy companies are not meeting
:16:43. > :16:46.their targets, and they have put up our bills on the basis this is
:16:47. > :16:51.increasing their costs. I ask myself the question if I was asking
:16:52. > :16:55.somebody to do energy efficiency in my home I would pay when the work is
:16:56. > :16:59.done. They seemed to suggest we should pay through the bills. What
:17:00. > :17:03.should we do, should we suspend the system until it is sorted out.
:17:04. > :17:07.People, as you say, are paying green levies of various sorts and not
:17:08. > :17:12.seeing the money being used the way they thought it was? I would have
:17:13. > :17:15.thought we shouldn't have to wait for a Freedom of Information
:17:16. > :17:19.question from Ofgem. So the public and others who are interested can
:17:20. > :17:25.see what is going on with the schemes. What should we do about it?
:17:26. > :17:27.I think ECO is a flawed scheme, it is overly bureaucratic. For one
:17:28. > :17:45.I think ECO is a flawed scheme, it about how the energy companies go
:17:46. > :17:48.about this. We have said we would have a scheme based on local areas
:17:49. > :17:51.and therefore it would be bottom up rather than top down, we think we
:17:52. > :17:55.can reach people more effectively through local councils and charities
:17:56. > :18:00.and groups. Would you suspend it now? What we have to interrogate
:18:01. > :18:02.here. Let's be honest about this ECO is part of the debate because the
:18:03. > :18:06.companies are trying to defend against their price rises. I think
:18:07. > :18:14.it is fair for us to question them on how they have attributed their
:18:15. > :18:23.price costs and therefore on our bills. They blame ECO the regulator
:18:24. > :18:28.should only cost ?15, and yet the companies say it is over ?57. The
:18:29. > :18:32.Telegraph tomorrow has spiralling energy bills, and the Energy

:30:57. > :31:01.here is a man who went into Syria without a visa, over a very porous
:31:02. > :31:05.border, where there are a lot of foreign fighters who come into
:31:06. > :31:08.Syria, you can see where it is going. Is there any chance your

:31:13. > :31:17.actually was a foreign fighter, is there any chance that have? No, we
:31:18. > :31:20.are an apolitical family. He has dedicated his life to his career,
:31:21. > :31:40.training as a surgeon, and his kindly to anybody helping or giving
:31:41. > :31:46.any assistance. Certainly when I flew out there initially the worry
:31:47. > :31:51.was that they could just kill him. And it came as a relief that he was
:31:52. > :31:55.alive, and to an extent held by the regime rather than a more extreme
:31:56. > :31:58.element. I think he would be as moved by the Philippines that you
:31:59. > :32:02.have already covered, as by the might of the Syrian people. Do you
:32:03. > :32:07.think he's been treated differently either by the Foreign Office or the
:32:08. > :32:11.Syrians because his name is Dr Khan and not Dr Smith or Jones? I can't
:32:12. > :32:18.tell you exactly the reasons why we as family believe if he was an

:32:57. > :33:01.the most acclaimed portrait painterings of the last century, and
:33:02. > :33:04.also one of the -- painters of the last century, and also one of the
:33:05. > :33:10.most extraordinary, his life included brushes with gambling and
:33:11. > :33:19.debts and brushes with the law. Now a new diary has been revealed,
:33:20. > :33:30.Breakfast With Lucien. We asked Geordie Greig to make a short film
:33:31. > :33:35.about his work. I was 17 when I first saw paintings
:33:36. > :33:37.by Lucien Freud. It was the era of punk, and I found these
:33:38. > :33:59.psychologically more edge, punk, and I found these
:34:00. > :34:05.we got talking. Lucien was the grandson of Sigmund Freud Freud, the
:34:06. > :34:09.founder of psychoanalysis. He was born in Berlin, but in 1942, when
:34:10. > :34:15.Lucien was ten, his family moved to London to escape the Nazis. He
:34:16. > :34:21.started as a penniless emigre, but became one of the most acclaimed
:34:22. > :34:26.painters of his generation. Luis YEP changed the perception of
:34:27. > :34:30.portraiture, and especially the nude in art. His subjects were an
:34:31. > :34:40.extraordinary picksure of people, criminal, supermodel, aristocrat,
:34:41. > :34:45.even the Queen. His naked figures were sensual. But to some people
:34:46. > :34:48.cruel and shocking. There was always a frisson about his outrageous
:34:49. > :35:09.private life. Gambling, hundreds a frisson about his outrageous
:35:10. > :35:14.final shot. I wrote him a letter saying I have got a brilliant idea
:35:15. > :35:20.but I need to see you in person. I was banking on his curiosity. Well,
:35:21. > :35:29.he rang. Come for breakfast. So I went to his studio and over a
:35:30. > :35:33.breakfast ofburg Gandhi and -- Burgandy, and half a roasted
:35:34. > :35:40.partridge that I WI he had eaten the night before I unravelled my
:35:41. > :35:43.brilliant idea. My idea was to photograph Frank Albach and you can
:35:44. > :35:47.be in the photograph. He was a fellow Jewish emigre and painter who
:35:48. > :35:50.arrived in the 30s and who Lucien saw every week for breakfast. He
:35:51. > :35:55.said, OK. It led to another breakfast, this
:35:56. > :36:01.time at the Cock Tavern in the meat district of London where they had
:36:02. > :36:18.kidneys and a cup of tea. This was the
:36:19. > :36:22.kidneys and a cup of tea. This was for breakfast. At Clarke's in
:36:23. > :36:28.Notting Hill. Where Lucien came every day with his assistant, David
:36:29. > :36:36.Dawson. Lucien Freud Freud was -- Lewis yen
:36:37. > :36:41.Freud was one of the most original people I ever met, he hung out with
:36:42. > :36:44.criminals and heiresses. He spoke about escaping from Nazi Germany,
:36:45. > :36:50.hanging out with the Queen when he painted her. Painting Kate Moss.
:36:51. > :36:57.Gambling debts of extraordinary amounts of money. And always there
:36:58. > :37:08.was a cultural vein which was focussed on his art. After Lucien
:37:09. > :37:10.died in July 2011, I spoke to the people closest to him. Most of whom
:37:11. > :37:29.also people closest to him. Most of whom
:37:30. > :37:31.told me how Lucien placed her in an uncomfortable pose, possibly
:37:32. > :37:37.reflecting the problems that developed in their relationship. In
:37:38. > :37:43.many ways my book is a key to the people who were painted by Lucien.
:37:44. > :37:53.It identifies, sometimes for the first time, who was painted. The
:37:54. > :37:57.women Women In Fur Coat, Big Man, they were titles that he used, that
:37:58. > :38:02.always obscured and kept secret the idea of those in Freud land. But how
:38:03. > :38:09.important is it to know the intimate secrets of an obsessively private
:38:10. > :38:12.individual? I met the art critic Brian Sewell at the National
:38:13. > :38:14.Portrait Gallery, in front of a painting of Lord Rothschild, an arts
:38:15. > :38:38.patron who had once lent money painting of Lord Rothschild, an arts
:38:39. > :38:44.ever said about that was "I paint with my prick". That is so true of
:38:45. > :38:53.Freud. The first nude portrait Lucien painted was of his daughter
:38:54. > :38:58.Annie aged 14. She told me how her father would reach with his paint
:38:59. > :39:02.brush to move strands of her hair to see her nipple. There is very little
:39:03. > :39:07.in his early work in which anything is there by chance. It is there
:39:08. > :39:20.because he wants it to be precisely there. That is a very good example.
:39:21. > :39:26.Everything is deliberate. That where I Think your revolution of the
:39:27. > :39:28.sexual Freud is there, it is a deliberate note and what he wishes
:39:29. > :39:48.you to see. deliberate note and what he wishes
:39:49. > :39:58.art which defines him. It was a life well lived, well loved and certainly
:39:59. > :40:02.one we won't see again. Geordie Greig is here and one of
:40:03. > :40:10.Lucien's children. Was this book a bit of a shock for you? I think it
:40:11. > :40:14.was more difficult to read than shocking to read. I think most of
:40:15. > :40:19.the things I knew in general but not in detail. And was that
:40:20. > :40:24.uncomfortable? Some of the reading was definitely very uncomfortable.
:40:25. > :40:28.Do you see why, I mean Brian Sewell made the point clearly, why a great
:40:29. > :40:35.artist, we do want to know quite a lot about them. Is that, do you
:40:36. > :40:39.think, fair game? It has nothing to do with the arts. The suggests, they
:40:40. > :40:59.held a certain charge and that do with the arts. The suggests, they
:41:00. > :41:04.make of that? He didn't like journalists for a start. You were
:41:05. > :41:11.persistent and you won his trust? Lucien allowed his whole life to be
:41:12. > :41:18.shown on his canvas, shown in public places and galleries. I have illumid
:41:19. > :41:26.who those people are and how they fitted into his complicated life. 14
:41:27. > :41:31.children axe no mamsed, others, many who came in and out -- acknowledged,
:41:32. > :41:39.others who came in and out of his life. It is what story tellers and
:41:40. > :41:45.writers do is to illuminate who are the people in the art. We have seen
:41:46. > :41:48.this in TS Eliot and Thomas hardy and often the family don't like it.
:41:49. > :42:09.It is a tough call and often the family don't like it.
:42:10. > :42:16.domesticated. We never had a normal family relationship with him, of
:42:17. > :42:21.course. That is the case with many artists. Look at Picasso, for
:42:22. > :42:24.example. But the point he was making is the family will always object,
:42:25. > :42:29.and if you look at the painting behind you, you can see something
:42:30. > :42:33.very intimate. People perhaps want to know more than just the title, is
:42:34. > :42:38.that not a legitimate area to look at? I understand people want to
:42:39. > :42:41.know, I'm talking about him, he didn't title with names or meaning
:42:42. > :42:46.to be important. He said to me when I talked about my work he asked on
:42:47. > :42:51.several occasions show me what you are working on, when I came back
:42:52. > :42:56.from Rome I showed work. If I talked about meaning he went spare, he got
:42:57. > :43:18.very, very angry. I know for about meaning he went spare, he got
:43:19. > :43:26.understand the driving forces. What was set up with the model and
:43:27. > :43:34.himself, the psychological space. All that energy, all that... Libido,
:43:35. > :43:38.if you like, went into the work. He would have hated your book, wouldn't
:43:39. > :43:44.he? I don't think he would have. It is written after his death. He knew
:43:45. > :43:47.I tape recorded the conversations, because the tape recorder was often
:43:48. > :43:55.put down on the table when we had breakfast. Breakfast With Lucien is
:43:56. > :43:59.a very frank and candidate book. Lucien was never anything but did
:44:00. > :44:04.Ied in his wife and work. Did he want you to write TU do you think?
:44:05. > :44:09.He knew that I had interviewed him and we had done interviews. This is
:44:10. > :44:26.an extension of that. In that way he would have
:44:27. > :44:33.an extension of that. In that way he died. Some critics were not as kind
:44:34. > :44:39.as Sewell, one said you give us the gas gossip but failed to capture the
:44:40. > :44:47.artist? I think they mean art. It is a very fulsome look at his wife. He
:44:48. > :44:54.had, in his life, dating great DA Garbo, borrowing -- great at that
:44:55. > :45:02.Garbo, hanging out with the Krays and the Queen painting her. He
:45:03. > :45:09.covered the 21st century to heights to painting Kate Moss. It wasn't a
:45:10. > :45:15.life as iconic and totemic as a 20th century artist. That is why it is a
:45:16. > :45:16.biography. Which has caused debate, consternation and controversial and
:45:17. > :45:37.why it is very, very readable. Jennifer Lawrence, about the
:45:38. > :45:42.influence of her movies on young women.
:45:43. > :45:49.You have voiced concerns about the pressure on young women in

:45:59. > :46:05.The Hunger Games, she is obviously underfed, she would be incredibly
:46:06. > :46:08.thin. But I was like, I just kept saying, this is we have the ability
:46:09. > :46:14.to control this image that young girls are going to be seeing. We
:46:15. > :46:19.need to make, girls see enough of this body that we can't imitate,
:46:20. > :46:23.that we will never be able to obtain, these unrealistic
:46:24. > :46:26.expectations and this is going to be their hero. And we have control over
:46:27. > :46:45.that. So it is an their hero. And we have control over
