:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Ben Thompson and Sian Lloyd.

:00:07. > :00:10.Swear an oath to uphold British values - new government plans

:00:11. > :00:14.to force all people in public office to defend principles such

:00:15. > :00:24.as democracy, equality and freedom of speech.

:00:25. > :00:27.The proposals come in response to a recent report warning

:00:28. > :00:39.of increasing ethnic segregation in Britain.

:00:40. > :00:42.Good morning, it's Sunday the 18th of December

:00:43. > :00:47.The former Ukip leader, Nigel Farage says he wants to be

:00:48. > :00:49.a "bridge" between Britain and President Trump,

:00:50. > :00:53.but he claims ministers are banned from talking to him.

:00:54. > :00:56.Opening up about the pressures of being a royal -

:00:57. > :01:00.Prince Harry says his charity work in Africa is escape and a way

:01:01. > :01:15.For me, personally it is an escape. And not only have I found that

:01:16. > :01:20.escape but I have found a way to try and use the name and position for

:01:21. > :01:26.good. In sport, Chelsea make it 11 were straight wins. The will goal

:01:27. > :01:28.against Crystal Palace pulled some nine points clear at the top of the

:01:29. > :01:29.table. BBC sport presenter and occasional

:01:30. > :01:31.resident of this sofa - Ore Oduba - takes

:01:32. > :01:46.the Strictly crown. Good morning. Dense fog patches in

:01:47. > :01:51.the southern half of the UK that could linger well on into the

:01:52. > :01:53.afternoon. A lot of clout but very little rain to speak of.

:01:54. > :01:59.All holders of public office will have to swear an oath

:02:00. > :02:01.of allegiance to British values in an attempt to tackle extremism.

:02:02. > :02:06.The Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid, says people can't play

:02:07. > :02:09.a positive role in public life unless they accept basic values

:02:10. > :02:12.like democracy, equality and freedom of speech.

:02:13. > :02:15.The proposal follows a recent report that warns of growing ethnic

:02:16. > :02:19.Our political correspondent Mark Lobel is in our

:02:20. > :02:34.Mark, why now? What is behind this? What's the difference do they hope

:02:35. > :02:38.to make? They hope to make a difference and I hope to encourage

:02:39. > :02:42.integration in British society. As community Secretary wrote in the

:02:43. > :02:46.Sunday Times saying that when he was eight years old yet and see a

:02:47. > :02:50.doctor. Not because he was unwell but because at the actors and

:02:51. > :02:54.interpreted with mother. She is learnt English her life as being

:02:55. > :02:56.better. He also thinks that immigrants should integrate into

:02:57. > :03:00.British society and that is why this new oath is being introduced because

:03:01. > :03:06.he wants everybody to take it so that it is there so that all holders

:03:07. > :03:09.of public office in the future will espouse these views of freedom of

:03:10. > :03:13.religion, freedom from abuse and freedom of speech and to make both

:03:14. > :03:18.these ethnic that surround their communities, to help them integrate

:03:19. > :03:24.and get on in life. Nigel Farage has been saying that he wants to be a

:03:25. > :03:28.bridge between Britain and the Trump administration. How many times have

:03:29. > :03:32.we seen in go back and forth to Trump Towers to make this point that

:03:33. > :03:35.he has a solid relationship with Donald Trump which, by the way, but

:03:36. > :03:39.that way before the TV cameras were there to win Donald Trump was one of

:03:40. > :03:45.the many contenders for the Republican crown. He was in constant

:03:46. > :03:49.touch with Nigel Farage's team. And now Nigel wants to see something

:03:50. > :03:53.from having spent a lot of time on my relationship. But it seems

:03:54. > :03:57.Theresa May and number ten are not interested in giving him any airtime

:03:58. > :04:03.in any sort of role and in fact Nigel Farage coming out in telling

:04:04. > :04:07.the BBC today that Cabinet offices, Cabinet ministers, have been banned

:04:08. > :04:18.from speaking to him. Thank you, Mark. You can hear the full

:04:19. > :04:22.interview with Nigel Farage on broadcasting house

:04:23. > :04:28.The UN Security Council is expected to vote today on a French proposal

:04:29. > :04:31.to send observers to the Syrian city of Aleppo to monitor

:04:32. > :04:35.Reports from Syria suggest a deal is near that would allow

:04:36. > :04:38.the thousands of civilians and fighters from rebel-held parts

:04:39. > :04:42.The buses may be lining up outside eastern Aleppo,

:04:43. > :04:47.This footage claims to show a convoy of vehicles standing by to pick

:04:48. > :04:50.For the last two days, those who packed their bags

:04:51. > :04:52.and were hoping to escape have remained stranded

:04:53. > :04:57.A deal to get them out stalled, with both sides

:04:58. > :04:59.accusing each other of breaking their word.

:05:00. > :05:03.Government forces said they would only restart evacuations

:05:04. > :05:07.when supporters of President Assad were allowed to leave two towns

:05:08. > :05:15.As the negotiations continue, so does the wait for those doing

:05:16. > :05:20.what they can to keep warm in the streets and in the hospitals.

:05:21. > :05:25.Across Europe, thousands of people are protesting to pressure

:05:26. > :05:33.the international community to do more.

:05:34. > :05:36.Today's vote at the United Nations will ensure UN officials can monitor

:05:37. > :05:39.the evacuations, and that those who choose to stay are protected.

:05:40. > :05:48.But it is not clear if Russia will back the plan.

:05:49. > :05:55.if and when a deal is reached to allow the buses to fill up again,

:05:56. > :05:56.the process is likely to remain difficult, dangerous and could last

:05:57. > :05:59.several weeks. In around half an hour's time we'll

:06:00. > :06:02.be speaking to the aid charity World Vision about what's being done

:06:03. > :06:06.to help the people of Aleppo. China is set to return an American

:06:07. > :06:09.underwater drone that its navy The US craft was captured

:06:10. > :06:14.by in international The Pentagon said the drone

:06:15. > :06:19.was being used to carry out scientific research

:06:20. > :06:22.when it was taken. The US President-elect,

:06:23. > :06:25.Donald Trump took to social media in protest - accusing the Chinese

:06:26. > :06:28.of stealing and writing that the US should tell China that

:06:29. > :06:38.they don't want it back. Prince Harry has revealed he no

:06:39. > :06:41.longer struggles with his royal role, and says he feels the need

:06:42. > :06:45.to "make something" of his life. Speaking in an ITV documentary

:06:46. > :06:48.about his charity work in Lesotho the prince said losing his mother

:06:49. > :06:51.at a young age made him question his position,

:06:52. > :07:07.but that he now views life What is it that you are making?

:07:08. > :07:11.Clothes, obviously. Prince Harry seems in his element as he helps out

:07:12. > :07:15.in a centred teaching life skills to people suffering from HIV. It is run

:07:16. > :07:21.by a charity co-founded ten years ago in a small South African state.

:07:22. > :07:27.They have helped over 21,000 people, many of them teenagers. And Harry's

:07:28. > :07:31.clearly passionate about his work. HIV/Aids is the number one killer of

:07:32. > :07:38.adolescence across sub Saharan Africa. Because they don't take the

:07:39. > :07:43.drugs? Here you have a bunch of kids who have no idea about HIV. They are

:07:44. > :07:46.not allowed to talk about it. And now that we have the drugs and

:07:47. > :07:50.appeals to give these kids are healthy happy long live yet we're

:07:51. > :07:56.not educating them or empowering them to make their own decisions. He

:07:57. > :07:59.first visited Africa in 1997, not long after the death of his mother.

:08:00. > :08:08.Says he still feels the connection to the continent. The first time

:08:09. > :08:12.that I went to Africa I was tiny. I think I went to a Spice Girl concert

:08:13. > :08:20.in Johannesburg? For me, personally, it is an escape. Not only have an

:08:21. > :08:24.escape I have found a way to try and use my name and position for good.

:08:25. > :08:29.In recent weeks, his relationship with actress Megan Michael has based

:08:30. > :08:33.in firmly in the media spotlight once again. In the past he resented

:08:34. > :08:39.his position and wanted to bury his head in the sand for a now, however,

:08:40. > :08:41.he is excited to be able to use his profile to help those less

:08:42. > :08:43.fortunate. "Prince Harry In Africa" will be

:08:44. > :08:47.broadcast on ITV at 9pm on Monday. If you didn't catch Strictly

:08:48. > :08:51.last night and don't You may have seen the result in our

:08:52. > :09:02.headline, however. Our own Ore Oduba and his partner

:09:03. > :09:05.Joanne Clifton took home the Glitterball trophy in last

:09:06. > :09:08.night's Strictly Come Dancing final - beating fellow competitors

:09:09. > :09:10.Danny Mac and Louise Redknapp. Last night also marked Len Goodman's

:09:11. > :09:13.last appearance as a judge as our Entertainment

:09:14. > :09:29.correspondent Lizo Mzimba reports And I can now reveal the champions

:09:30. > :09:34.for 2016. Ore Oduba! The moment that Ore Oduba was crowned the strictly

:09:35. > :09:40.come dancing 2016 champion. He was voted the winner after a public vote

:09:41. > :09:43.during the evening's final. The BBC sport presenter thanked the show and

:09:44. > :09:49.paid tribute to his dance partner Joanna Clifton. You are the most

:09:50. > :09:53.incredible person. This is the most incredible experience of my life. I

:09:54. > :09:57.have learnt to dance, made a best friend and been on a show that I

:09:58. > :10:07.have loved for 12 years. He defeated the other two finalist,s sank to his

:10:08. > :10:27.performances of three dancers. An American smooth. A showdown is will

:10:28. > :10:34.and the jive. The latter two routines were given perfect scores

:10:35. > :10:43.by the judges. Ore Oduba maybe this year's winner but for many a close

:10:44. > :10:50.runner-up was Ed Walls. His lack of dance skills made him consistently

:10:51. > :10:55.low scores from the judges of the he had entertained the audience so they

:10:56. > :11:02.kept him in until it finally left the competition last month. The

:11:03. > :11:07.evening's final was also then Goodman's last appearance in the

:11:08. > :11:11.series and he was given a standing ovation in the studio. He has led

:11:12. > :11:19.the judging panel since the programme began 12 years ago.

:11:20. > :11:22.Congratulations to them. We'll be talking all things Strictly

:11:23. > :11:25.throughout the programme - speaking to a Strictly

:11:26. > :11:27."superfan" just before 7:00, and to Joanne and Kevin Clifton's

:11:28. > :11:31.parents just after 8:00. I imagine the celebrations went on

:11:32. > :11:33.quite late. The UK's finest trees have been

:11:34. > :11:37.revealed in the annual "Tree This copper beech at a school

:11:38. > :11:43.in East Lothian in Scotland is known It takes its name from a game of tig

:11:44. > :11:48.that pupils play around the trunk. This Sycamore took the top prize

:11:49. > :11:52.in England and it's also one of the most photographed

:11:53. > :11:54.trees in the country. Located near Hadrian's Wall

:11:55. > :11:57.in Northumberland, it also featured in the film "Robin Hood:

:11:58. > :12:03.Prince of Thieves". And in Wales, the Giant Brimmon Oak

:12:04. > :12:07.in Powys has a trunk which stretches And last but not least -

:12:08. > :12:12.in Northern Ireland, this Holm Oak in County

:12:13. > :12:15.Down took the prize. It leans at a 45 degree angle

:12:16. > :12:18.and is now supported The four trees will now enter

:12:19. > :12:23.into the European Tree of the Year competition, as well as getting

:12:24. > :12:34.a ?1000 care grant. He knew there was a competition like

:12:35. > :12:43.that? They are quite beautiful, aren't they? It is 12 minutes past

:12:44. > :12:46.six a.m. Let's have a quick look at this morning's papers. A lot of

:12:47. > :12:51.stories we cover this morning feature on the front of bed but one

:12:52. > :12:59.story of particular interest is travel disruption this year. A lot

:13:00. > :13:02.of the paper is also talking about the power of the unions to cause

:13:03. > :13:07.transport chaos over the festive period. We know a number of airlines

:13:08. > :13:10.are planning strike action and baggage handlers and a number of

:13:11. > :13:18.airports across the country. And you can see the picture there of Ore and

:13:19. > :13:22.his partner before they lifted the trophy. It was suggested that 11.3

:13:23. > :13:30.million people watched the final. The express also has Ore and Joanne.

:13:31. > :13:40.They are talking about or exit fuelling a festive shopping bonanza.

:13:41. > :13:47.Brexit hitting consumers spending a record breaking boost. I was in town

:13:48. > :13:51.yesterday and it was chaos. If you haven't done your Christmas shopping

:13:52. > :14:00.yet, get out now and do it. In the Sunday Times we have Danny and his

:14:01. > :14:05.partner. No picture of Ore. The headline is about the rail union

:14:06. > :14:11.boss vowing to topple the Tories. Saying that this Christmas strike is

:14:12. > :14:17.to bring down the Tories is the claim of this headline. The loyalty

:14:18. > :14:20.oath for all public officers the top story today suggesting anyone

:14:21. > :14:24.working in the public sector should make an oath to uphold the values of

:14:25. > :14:30.the country suggesting that could help integration. And the Sunday

:14:31. > :14:33.Telegraph says Theresa May is refusing to curb the power of

:14:34. > :14:38.striking trade unions despite the growing backlash from her own MPs as

:14:39. > :14:43.Britain braces for more transport chaos over Christmas. A photograph

:14:44. > :14:48.as will Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince of Wales and that photo

:14:49. > :14:54.has been released to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations.

:14:55. > :14:57.What a wonderful photo. It is quarter past six and this is the

:14:58. > :15:02.main stories. The Communities Secretary,

:15:03. > :15:03.Sajid Javid, has called for all holders of public office

:15:04. > :15:07.to swear an oath to British values Nigel Farage says he wants to be

:15:08. > :15:12.a "bridge" between Britain and the incoming US Trump

:15:13. > :15:14.administration, but claims Cabinet ministers have been banned

:15:15. > :15:32.from talking to him. Time for the weather. More mist,

:15:33. > :15:37.more fog? What is it? I have a photo of a tree, but it is all about the

:15:38. > :15:41.fog. It is dense across the southern half of England and south Wales.

:15:42. > :15:46.Much like yesterday, it could be slow on the roads and cause delays

:15:47. > :15:51.at the airport. Grey across the southern half too much of the day.

:15:52. > :15:56.Patchy rain further north first thing, but that is fading away. Fog

:15:57. > :16:00.further south could stick around until late morning, maybe into the

:16:01. > :16:04.afternoon as well. Poor visibility in places. Take care on the road.

:16:05. > :16:08.Visibility is better in the north, but a good deal of cloud. Patchy

:16:09. > :16:11.rain this morning fizzling out through the morning. There will

:16:12. > :16:23.still be rain in the north and west of Scotland. That will linger into

:16:24. > :16:26.the afternoon. We will see something brighter developing towards the east

:16:27. > :16:29.of Scotland. Around the Moray Firth, going well this afternoon with that

:16:30. > :16:33.south-westerly breeze. Temperatures are rising on the other side of the

:16:34. > :16:36.Grampians, 14 or 15. More like nine in Aberdeen and Glasgow. If you are

:16:37. > :16:39.lucky, 10 degrees in London. That depends on brighter weather poking

:16:40. > :16:43.through that layer of cloud, which will be extensive. This evening, fog

:16:44. > :16:48.will thicken across the southern half of the UK. It could be pretty

:16:49. > :16:53.great for Monday morning across the south counties, maybe south Wales as

:16:54. > :16:57.well. Further north, dry weather and clouding. Towards the north-west, a

:16:58. > :17:01.week whether from bringing rain. Nothing too extensive and nothing to

:17:02. > :17:06.widespread. A breeze to go with the rain, which is there for Monday at

:17:07. > :17:12.least. Further south, fog a problem again for southern most counties.

:17:13. > :17:15.That will lift. It looks great on Monday afternoon. Patchy rain

:17:16. > :17:20.drifting in from the North Sea. Temperatures across the board pretty

:17:21. > :17:23.much in single figures. A chilly feel to Monday afternoon. Looking

:17:24. > :17:28.ahead to the rest of this coming week, it is mostly dry at first, but

:17:29. > :17:32.from mid week onwards, we will see wetter weather developing, and it

:17:33. > :17:34.will turn windy as well. Winds could be in issue towards the latter part

:17:35. > :17:37.of the week as well. Thank you. We'll be back with

:17:38. > :17:40.the headlines at 6.30. Now on Breakfast, it's

:17:41. > :17:42.time for The Film Review Hello, and welcome to

:17:43. > :18:01.the Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's

:18:02. > :18:04.cinema releases is Mark Kermode. And we have a festive

:18:05. > :18:06.feast, I would suggest. We have Rogue One: A Star Wars

:18:07. > :18:11.Story, you may have seen some A very interesting documentary

:18:12. > :18:18.called Eagle Huntress. And looking ahead to

:18:19. > :18:26.New Year's Day, A Monster Calls. Yeah, you're right,

:18:27. > :18:28.Star Wars, who knew? So, this is a stand-alone

:18:29. > :18:31.instalment that comes between Episodes III and IV

:18:32. > :18:35.and takes its cue from the opening crawl of Star Wars, in which it

:18:36. > :18:38.explains that before everything happened in Star Wars,

:18:39. > :18:40.rebel fighters were trying to get Felicity Jones is Jyn Erso,

:18:41. > :18:53.who's a loner with a complicated back story, who forms an initially

:18:54. > :18:56.uneasy alliance with the rebels. And because it's a stand-alone

:18:57. > :18:59.story, we get a whole load of new characters, not least

:19:00. > :19:02.a reprogrammed imperial droid who trusts her as little

:19:03. > :19:04.as she trusts him. Why does she get

:19:05. > :19:09.a blaster and I don't? We're going to Jedha -

:19:10. > :19:21.that's a war zone. I find that answer

:19:22. > :19:27.vague and unconvincing. Would you like to know

:19:28. > :19:47.the probability of her using In fact, the film itself

:19:48. > :20:01.is rather dark, it's directed by Gareth Edwards who made Godzilla

:20:02. > :20:04.and, more importantly, he made Monsters, which although

:20:05. > :20:07.nominally was a creature feature, it was actually a film

:20:08. > :20:09.about relationships between people that just happened to have

:20:10. > :20:12.extraterrestrials in it. He has described this movie

:20:13. > :20:15.as being like a war movie, and there's lots of nods

:20:16. > :20:18.to cinematic visions of D-Day and the Vietnam War,

:20:19. > :20:21.and nods along to The Dirty Dozen Because it's a stand-alone story,

:20:22. > :20:30.because it is being envisaged by the director as a war movie,

:20:31. > :20:33.it is tougher than a lot of the Star Wars

:20:34. > :20:35.films, admirably so. On the very positive side, the cast

:20:36. > :20:40.is a real rainbow coalition. The thing that science fiction

:20:41. > :20:43.manages to do is envisage worlds in which standard barriers

:20:44. > :20:46.about race and gender really have no role at all, and I really liked

:20:47. > :20:49.that about this film. I also like the fact that,

:20:50. > :20:52.although it uses cutting-edge CGI, it does feel like a film

:20:53. > :20:55.from the physical era It feels like one of the original

:20:56. > :20:59.movies, and it's very, very coherent in its own sense,

:21:00. > :21:02.despite the fact that there were lots of stories

:21:03. > :21:04.about them doing reshoots, Actually, the story seems to be very

:21:05. > :21:11.coherent and to keep true to itself. I thought it was dark and exciting,

:21:12. > :21:14.and I thought the characters I really liked Felicity Jones,

:21:15. > :21:19.I thought she really And it had genuine surprises,

:21:20. > :21:24.and when you think this could have been a cash-in, anything

:21:25. > :21:26.that is a spin off, A Star Wars Story,

:21:27. > :21:28.what does that mean? It felt coherent and self-contained

:21:29. > :21:32.but fitted in with the Star Wars world and leaned towards all

:21:33. > :21:35.the Star Wars movies that I like and away from

:21:36. > :21:40.the movies that I don't like. And the third act,

:21:41. > :21:43.because of the fact that it doesn't wimp out on its narrative,

:21:44. > :21:46.the third act felt really exciting No-one was more surprised than me,

:21:47. > :21:53.I've seen it twice, and I thought it was even better

:21:54. > :21:55.the second time round. Did you see $200 million

:21:56. > :22:00.worth of screen time? I never sat there thinking about how

:22:01. > :22:05.much any of it cost. I sat there thinking,

:22:06. > :22:08."I hope they get out of this situation, that's a really

:22:09. > :22:10.good cliffhanger." Now, Eagle Huntress is your next,

:22:11. > :22:14.which sounds extraordinary. Yes, it's a documentary

:22:15. > :22:17.about a young girl from a Kazakh family, and she wants to become

:22:18. > :22:20.the first woman in her family This paternal line of people

:22:21. > :22:27.who hunt with eagles has been passed Aisholpan is our young subject,

:22:28. > :22:32.and her father encourages her to follow in his footsteps,

:22:33. > :22:35.which according to the documentary Not everybody is convinced that

:22:36. > :22:41.women should be doing this. "Women can't ride horses,

:22:42. > :22:44.women can't be eagle hunters, they've got to stay

:22:45. > :22:46.at home and get married." The interesting thing

:22:47. > :22:49.about it is she is a fantastic subject and it is a really

:22:50. > :22:51.interesting story. The documentary, however,

:22:52. > :22:53.is very good-looking, It does, however, feel very

:22:54. > :22:58.constructed, it feels like it's a film that has been put together

:22:59. > :23:01.in the editing room, and there are times where you think,

:23:02. > :23:04."OK, this feels like a dramatic story which has been put together,

:23:05. > :23:07.as opposed to a documentary And there has been some question

:23:08. > :23:12.about the exact voracity of the story, whether she is

:23:13. > :23:15.the very first woman to do this, But it doesn't matter,

:23:16. > :23:20.because she is such a great subject, and because the vistas

:23:21. > :23:21.are so spectacular, and because the central idea

:23:22. > :23:24.is so intriguing and interesting, it gets round whatever formal

:23:25. > :23:27.problems it may have. Around Christmas, if you want a role

:23:28. > :23:31.model for a young girl, I think it's a lot better than a few

:23:32. > :23:35.that I could suggest. And there's a sequence where she has

:23:36. > :23:40.to go and get the eaglet, and she is with her father

:23:41. > :23:43.and she is hanging down the side of a mountain on a piece of string,

:23:44. > :23:47.and her father is saying, She's very brave, very resourceful,

:23:48. > :23:51.and you will enjoy spending time in her company, because she's

:23:52. > :23:53.a really interesting subject. Screenwriter Patrick Ness,

:23:54. > :23:59.working from his own source novel. It's about a young boy

:24:00. > :24:02.who is terrified of bullying, and he's frightened of being

:24:03. > :24:05.bereaved, and he's visited by a tree monster played by Liam Neeson,

:24:06. > :24:07.which tells him stories, and through these stories lends some

:24:08. > :24:10.form of fantastical reality to the anguish which

:24:11. > :24:12.he is experiencing. Harder, Conor O'Malley,

:24:13. > :24:43.come on, harder! You can see what it does

:24:44. > :25:08.is it blends seamlessly from the fantastical

:25:09. > :25:10.to the more real. The thing is, fairy tales are really

:25:11. > :25:14.about dealing with very real issues, but dealing with them

:25:15. > :25:16.in a fantastical fashion, It's directed by JA Bayona,

:25:17. > :25:20.who made The Orphanage, which of course the guiding light

:25:21. > :25:24.on the project was Guillermo del Toro, and you can see

:25:25. > :25:28.a lot of him in this. Bayona went to make The Impossible,

:25:29. > :25:31.which was the tsunami drama, But this really harks back

:25:32. > :25:36.to the great work he did with The Orphanage, and it manages

:25:37. > :25:39.to tell a story which is real and heartbreaking and feels very

:25:40. > :25:42.true, about a young boy confronting the difficulties of his life,

:25:43. > :25:45.but doing it through Pan's Labyrinth is a

:25:46. > :25:55.similar kind of story. The big monster is the protector,

:25:56. > :25:59.in various ways, of a child. There can be very few

:26:00. > :26:01.children who wouldn't, in some way, recognise

:26:02. > :26:03.and relate to that. A little bit, but it is like any

:26:04. > :26:08.good fairy tale, it appeals to the child in everyone,

:26:09. > :26:11.and the thing is, fairy You mentioned Pan's Labyrinth,

:26:12. > :26:15.which has moments that But I thought this was very

:26:16. > :26:19.impressive and very moving, and, I have to say, I was not

:26:20. > :26:23.the only person to leave the cinema Animation once again,

:26:24. > :26:32.this is a documentary about a young man, who was trying to reconnect

:26:33. > :26:35.through the world, he was suffering from autism and trying to reconnect

:26:36. > :26:38.with the word through his love The documentary is about the way

:26:39. > :26:43.in which Disney cartoons provided a connection with him

:26:44. > :26:45.and everyone around him, and it's uplifting,

:26:46. > :26:47.there are a fantastic animated sequences in A Monster Calls,

:26:48. > :26:53.and also in Life Animated. Between them, these films both seem

:26:54. > :26:56.to suggest that animated movies are a really interesting way

:26:57. > :26:59.of understanding the problems I thought Life Animated was just

:27:00. > :27:04.terrific, I mean really beautifully done, really sensitively done,

:27:05. > :27:07.done with real intimacy and real intelligence, and such

:27:08. > :27:10.an uplifting story, and again, you know, a really positive story

:27:11. > :27:13.about the positive power of movies And your DVD of the week

:27:14. > :27:20.is David Brent, I was slightly Well, the genius of Fawlty Towers,

:27:21. > :27:27.let's put it this way, is they knew what they were doing

:27:28. > :27:31.and they did it over a short period 12 or 13, whatever,

:27:32. > :27:36.but it was limited. And the David Brent franchise,

:27:37. > :27:39.I thought, was brilliant, and then I started

:27:40. > :27:42.not to think that. I thought the same thing going in,

:27:43. > :27:46."Do we really want to go back And the triumph of

:27:47. > :27:49.the movie is you do. It catches up with him later on,

:27:50. > :27:53.in which he's taking time off from work to go on the road

:27:54. > :27:56.with his terrible band, and just like the source material,

:27:57. > :27:58.it's toe-curling, painful, but it also has a lot of pathos,

:27:59. > :28:02.and there are moments when you don't know

:28:03. > :28:05.whether to laugh or hide your head And, believe me, I was really

:28:06. > :28:09.surprised that, after all these years, it managed to do that,

:28:10. > :28:12.move the story on and it actually managed to make the jokes

:28:13. > :28:15.still funny but painful and to make I suppose the thing

:28:16. > :28:19.that is so attractive about that character is that

:28:20. > :28:21.he really does try.. Somehow, he just wants

:28:22. > :28:27.to escape this awful life, In the case of this,

:28:28. > :28:33.he actually does get out on the road, and the spectacle

:28:34. > :28:35.of him playing half-empty A quick reminder before we go,

:30:21. > :30:22.with Ben Thompson and Sian Lloyd. Coming up before seven,

:30:23. > :30:25.Jay will have your full weather But first, a summary of this

:30:26. > :30:32.morning's main news. All holders of public office

:30:33. > :30:35.will have to swear an oath of allegiance to British values

:30:36. > :30:38.in an attempt to tackle extremism. The Communities Secretary,

:30:39. > :30:40.Sajid Javid, says people can't play a positive role in public life

:30:41. > :30:43.unless they accept basic values like democracy, equality

:30:44. > :30:45.and freedom of speech. The proposal follows a recent report

:30:49. > :30:55.today on whether to send observers to the Syrian city of Aleppo,

:30:56. > :30:57.where thousands of civilians Reports from Syria claim

:30:58. > :31:11.an agreement has almost been reached One charity has told the BBC this

:31:12. > :31:16.morning that a deal has been reached to start the evacuation of East

:31:17. > :31:18.Aleppo. The process collapsed on Friday leaving many in dangerous and

:31:19. > :31:20.freezing conditions. The former Ukip leader Nigel Farage

:31:21. > :31:24.has said he wants to be a "bridge" between Britain and the incoming

:31:25. > :31:26.Trump administration But Mr Farage told Radio 4's

:31:27. > :31:29.Broadcasting House that Downing Street didn't

:31:30. > :31:32.want to acknowledge him and claimed Cabinet ministers had been banned

:31:33. > :31:42.from talking to him. I just think, if you wanted to get

:31:43. > :31:47.business from the biggest company in the world and there was someone

:31:48. > :31:50.there who had the contacts and connections, the first thing you

:31:51. > :31:54.would do is employ that person because that is how the world works.

:31:55. > :32:00.I find the fact that Downing Street and want to acknowledge me and have

:32:01. > :32:05.banned cabinet ministers from even talking to me, it shows you the sort

:32:06. > :32:06.of very small-minded petty tribal level that British politics is out.

:32:07. > :32:08.It is a shame. China is set to return an American

:32:09. > :32:11.underwater drone that its navy The US craft was captured

:32:12. > :32:15.in international waters on Thursday. The Pentagon said the drone

:32:16. > :32:19.was being used to carry out scientific research

:32:20. > :32:23.when it was taken. The US President-elect,

:32:24. > :32:25.Donald Trump took to social media in protest - accusing the Chinese

:32:26. > :32:29.of stealing and writing that the US should tell China that

:32:30. > :32:32.they don't want it back. Prince Harry has revealed he no

:32:33. > :32:35.longer struggles with his royal role, and says he feels the need

:32:36. > :32:39.to "make something" of his life. Speaking in an ITV documentary

:32:40. > :32:42.about his charity work in Lesotho at a young age made him

:32:43. > :32:46.question his position, but that he now views life

:33:16. > :33:19."the most incredible experience Last night also marked Len Goodman's

:33:20. > :33:32.last appearance as a judge. It really was an emotional ending

:33:33. > :33:36.all in all. An end of an era. And now the big question is who will

:33:37. > :33:38.replace Len. A lot of speculation, no confirmation as yet.

:33:39. > :33:41.A rare Asian elephant calf has been born at Chester Zoo.

:33:42. > :33:44.The baby, who is yet to be named, was born to 12-year-old mother

:33:45. > :33:49.She's the 19th elephant to be born at the zoo in its 85-year history.

:33:50. > :33:53.Keepers say both mother and daughter were doing well.

:33:54. > :33:57.Asian elephants are officially listed as endangered,

:33:58. > :34:15.and calves are born into captivity in the UK only once or twice a year.

:34:16. > :34:23.We're now have the sports. A busy weekend of sport again? It is. We

:34:24. > :34:28.will start with football. Chelsea, not too long ago it looked like a

:34:29. > :34:33.real battle of the top. All of a sudden a nine points clear at the

:34:34. > :34:37.top. 11 wins in a row and they are looking strong, looking like the

:34:38. > :34:41.team to be in every time they have been top of the Premier League at

:34:42. > :34:41.Christmas they have gone on to win the title.

:34:42. > :34:45.They'll be top again this year because of the lead they've built up

:34:46. > :34:47.thanks to that win at Crystal Palace yesterday.

:34:48. > :34:50.With new of that and the rest of yesterday's action,

:34:51. > :34:57.There is always something special about being number one at Christmas.

:34:58. > :35:01.Having found a real dump it is Chelsea who have won the race for

:35:02. > :35:06.top spot this year. A goal from their front man enough to see off

:35:07. > :35:11.Crystal Palace. I am happy for my players in the way they fight in

:35:12. > :35:21.every game. It is fantastic. I think we can improve. Also I am pleased

:35:22. > :35:25.for the fans. Chelsea on top going into the festive period. It is now

:35:26. > :35:28.for everyone else to work out how to deal with the post- Christmas blues.

:35:29. > :35:35.One year to the day since he was sacked by Chelsea there is a sense

:35:36. > :35:44.of optimism are merging for Mourinho. His side had victory over

:35:45. > :35:50.West Brom. Leicester City, well, they must have felt as if all their

:35:51. > :35:54.Christmases came at once last year. For the reigning champions, goodwill

:35:55. > :36:00.is in short supply a list in the first half at Stoke. Vardy sent off

:36:01. > :36:04.before going to kneel down. The manager incensed and still defying

:36:05. > :36:09.the odds is what his side seems to do best, coming back to claim an

:36:10. > :36:13.incredible draw. Proving there is always hope, especially at this time

:36:14. > :36:18.of year. Middlesbrough now have a little more after their three mil

:36:19. > :36:22.win but concerns deepening for Swansea. They stay off the bottom

:36:23. > :36:27.thanks largely to this penalty decision that West Ham. Mark Noble's

:36:28. > :36:32.goal enough to defeat a luckless halt city. Sunderland remain in the

:36:33. > :36:37.bottom three despite a win. Patrick was the only goal against Walls

:36:38. > :36:39.said. Celebrations, but still plenty of concern.

:36:40. > :36:42.There are three more games today with Bournemouth hosting Southampton

:36:43. > :36:46.Tottenham take on Burnley at White Hart Lane at four,

:36:47. > :36:49.and at the same time there's a big match at the Etihad Stadium

:36:50. > :36:52.where both Manchester City and Arsenal will be hoping to make

:36:53. > :37:10.We played many times so when I was in Brussels I knew. We met each

:37:11. > :37:19.other quite well. Of course when we play we have quality. They are good,

:37:20. > :37:24.good players. Fast players, they can defend well. They use

:37:25. > :37:35.a strong attack and they are a good team. The game is to defend well

:37:36. > :37:39.together and not be fatigued everytime you get the ball and have

:37:40. > :37:44.a go and try to attack because that is part of our philosophy and that

:37:45. > :37:50.is what you have to do. You are not to forget as well that this is a

:37:51. > :37:54.team who are very strong going forward. Maybe more now so we have

:37:55. > :38:01.Maybe more now so we have to focus to defend well.

:38:02. > :38:04.Celtic have restored their 11 point lead at the top

:38:05. > :38:06.of the Scottish Premiership after beating Dundee 2-1.

:38:09. > :38:11.Bottom place Partick Thistle gained a vital point at Hearts.

:38:12. > :38:15.The hosts were the better side in a dour first-half and took

:38:16. > :38:19.through Sean Welsh just after half time.

:38:20. > :38:25.The games at Kilmarnock and St Johnstone were also draws.

:38:26. > :38:30.It's day three of the final test between India and England

:38:31. > :38:34.It's been a bit of a struggle for the tourists.

:38:35. > :38:37.India resumed on 66 without loss in reply to England's 477.

:38:38. > :38:40.Rahul and Parthiv set about surpassing that total,

:38:41. > :38:42.both passing 50 with little challenge from England's bowlers.

:38:43. > :38:46.It's going to be a long hard day in the field for England

:38:47. > :38:50.Pathiv was eventually dismissed for 71 and at lunch India have moved

:38:51. > :38:57.To rugby union and it was a busy day of European Champions Cup action

:38:58. > :39:01.yesterday with Lester snatching a late 18-16 win

:39:02. > :39:07.Owen Williams kicked a long-range penalty in the dying moments

:39:08. > :39:10.after a converted try had put Munster ahead.

:39:11. > :39:13.Last weekend Lester were thrashed 38-0 by to Munster, but this result

:39:14. > :39:19.keeps their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.

:39:20. > :39:22.Wasps were unbeaten in Europe this season, but that ended in dramatic

:39:23. > :39:25.Wasps had led 18-13 until Naulia Dawai slid in.

:39:26. > :39:29.And Jack Carty had the tricky conversion to win it -

:39:30. > :39:32.and hit it straight through the middle.

:39:33. > :39:35.20-18 to Connacht the final score, and look what it meant

:39:36. > :39:52.There were also wins for Leinster and Exeter. In snooker, John Higgins

:39:53. > :39:55.will be in the final of the Scottish open. He staged a remarkable

:39:56. > :40:02.comeback against the world number four. He was 5-1 down at one stage

:40:03. > :40:11.was a break of 110 and the seventh said on course to won full -- a

:40:12. > :40:21.break of 110 in the seventh set him on course to win. The Dutchman had

:40:28. > :40:33.was come 51-year-old Bernard Hopkins lost his final fight. He was knocked

:40:34. > :40:38.out of the ring to end the fight. His opponent put him through the

:40:39. > :40:49.ropes. Hopkins ended up on his back in the eighth round. A remarkable

:40:50. > :40:56.end to his 28 year boxing career. He has been amazing. He has won titles

:40:57. > :41:07.in heavyweight and -- middleweight and light heavyweight. An end to a

:45:52. > :45:56.makes a massive difference to the school. The kit we have at the

:45:57. > :46:02.school, we just about get by. The kids having this kit will be so

:46:03. > :46:05.proud. It has been amazing. It is like Christmas early. It will make

:46:06. > :46:11.an amazing difference. Having this kit will make us better because we

:46:12. > :46:15.have the actual kids. It started in October when 50 collection cages

:46:16. > :46:20.were set up around Birmingham. This idiot was chosen because it is

:46:21. > :46:24.hosting the Sports Personality of the Year ceremony. An appeal went

:46:25. > :46:29.out to get people to fill big cage with their unwonted sports items.

:46:30. > :46:33.The response was overwhelming. Some of the stuff is outstanding. We

:46:34. > :46:37.could do four or five Olympics with all of this but at the same time. We

:46:38. > :46:45.have iceskating. Hockey sticks galore. Tennis balls. Tennis racket.

:46:46. > :46:52.Badminton rackets. It is absolutely amazing. Donated items also included

:46:53. > :46:57.Dame Kelly Holmes' trainers, and some of the kit we used in BBC

:47:30. > :47:33.my coach. I clung onto it. Literally just playing the whole time. My

:47:34. > :47:39.parents hated it. I would be smashing the bedroom was. Some

:47:40. > :47:43.people don't have that kind of opportunity and that privilege to

:47:44. > :47:47.get given a stick. We know how children grow out of things so

:47:48. > :47:53.quickly. Why can't we just collect them and give them to others that

:47:54. > :47:56.need them? More than 80 schools and community sports clubs across

:47:57. > :48:01.Birmingham are now getting the donations. And some even got their

:48:02. > :48:05.hands on the coveted sports personality Trophy. Not that they

:48:06. > :48:14.get to keep this bit of equipment. Fantastic. Time for the weather. We

:48:15. > :48:18.were talking earlier about mist and fog, but there is a technical

:48:19. > :48:22.definition that defines one of the other.

:48:23. > :48:28.It is all about how far you can see. Once it goes beyond 200 metres, you

:48:29. > :48:33.have fog. That is across the southern half this morning. Dense

:48:34. > :48:36.fog patches at the moment. Like yesterday, slow on the roads and a

:48:37. > :48:40.could be further cancellations and delays at some of the airport. The

:49:03. > :49:05.rain around this morning, but becoming light and patchy. We may

:49:10. > :49:12.The east is doing well, and drank the Moray Firth, and breeze going

:49:13. > :49:18.over the Grampians. It will warm up the temperatures of around 14 or 15.

:49:19. > :49:22.Quite a warm afternoon. Elsewhere, pretty much in single figures with a

:49:23. > :49:27.fair bit of cloud. Not much rain to speak of. Staying pretty grey across

:49:28. > :49:31.the southern half of the UK, and great north. Into the evening, fog

:49:32. > :49:35.will thicken across southern counties of England, south Wales

:49:36. > :49:39.once again. Further north, visibility better, but we will see

:49:40. > :49:42.rain creeping into the west of Scotland and maybe Northern Ireland

:49:43. > :49:48.as well with a freshening breeze. By the end of the night, generally in

:49:49. > :49:53.single figures. Five, six or seven degrees. Lowered the night in rural

:49:54. > :49:57.spots. A grey start again across the southernmost counties. Fog will be

:49:58. > :50:02.dent in places again. Lifting into low cloud. A grey afternoon. Dry

:50:03. > :50:05.weather on Monday but a bit a bit of rain creeping into the eastern side

:50:06. > :50:09.of England, and rain towards the west. Largely dry if other clouding.

:50:10. > :50:14.Most places in single figures for Monday afternoon. Towards the rest

:54:43. > :55:02.I don't blame them! MUSIC PLAYS

:55:03. > :55:07.We're joined on the sofa by Strictly super fan Lisa Lewis,

:55:08. > :55:14.and the TV critic Emma Bullimore is in our London studio.

:55:15. > :55:21.We can talk over the whole series. First of all, what was your

:55:22. > :55:27.highlight? The final was spectacular. It was brilliant. I was

:55:28. > :55:33.really impressed with it as well. Just the whole show, from the show

:55:34. > :55:37.dances, the judges' choices, the couples picking their own dance, I

:55:38. > :55:44.think they all chose breakdancers to show us again, which was great. The

:55:45. > :55:48.whole flow of the show was great. It is a TV -based. 11.3 million people

:55:49. > :55:54.watching the final last night according to make latest figures. It

:55:55. > :56:01.was incredible. The atmosphere was absolutely electric. The highlight

:56:02. > :56:05.was the show dance, and so often the series is won and lost on a show

:56:06. > :56:09.dance. I think it was proof of that last night. After that, the crowd

:56:10. > :56:15.went wild, and I'm sure everyone was picking up their phone to vote. We

:56:16. > :56:19.talk about the journey, because it is either about the dancing or the

:56:20. > :56:26.journey. With Ore Oduba, you got both. He was a farm in all --

:56:27. > :56:30.phenomenal dancer. No dance experience unlike Danny and the

:56:31. > :56:36.ways. Lang Goodman said that is the spirit of Strictly. That is what

:56:37. > :56:40.people like to see -- Len Goodman. That was singing in the rain. You

:56:41. > :56:44.have been following it all as a super fan. What was the highlight

:56:45. > :56:49.for you over all? Overspeed the final last night was a spectacular,

:56:50. > :56:54.but when you look back at the series, they have been some

:56:55. > :57:01.surprises. They really have. We probably have to mention Ed Balls.

:57:02. > :57:05.To me, that was a surprise. We do the in the beginning were talking

:57:06. > :57:10.about Ed Balls and going, he will be in for a couple of weeks and then

:57:11. > :57:16.out. He was in for a while. He went on the stick the journey, and he

:57:17. > :57:21.really improved -- Strictly. We can see his dancing getting better. That

:57:22. > :57:25.is what it is about, taking someone who can't dance, who has never

:57:26. > :57:30.danced before, and teaching them a new school. Ore Oduba may be pitted

:57:31. > :57:36.up a little better than Ed Balls, but it has been a truly great season

:57:37. > :57:40.-- may be picked it up. I loved it from start to finish. Ed Balls

:57:41. > :57:46.embraced the questions as well. That is something you are interested in.

:57:47. > :57:51.Very much so. When we spoke to him in week one and he was dressed in a

:57:52. > :57:54.suit for the wilds and it was very parliamentary and what we expected,

:57:55. > :57:58.we thought after a couple of weeks he will be gone -- wants. There we

:57:59. > :58:03.saw him would be grim face and the yellow suit. I thought it was great,

:58:04. > :58:08.bring it on -- green face. When we look at who was in the final, lots

:58:09. > :58:15.of trials and tribulations. Were the right people in the final? I think

:58:16. > :58:19.so. I really like Danny Mac. I think he is the best dancer the show has

:58:20. > :58:24.ever had. In a way it was a shame that cannot win. However, as he

:58:25. > :58:28.said, it is about a journey, and Ore Oduba had more of a journey. It was

:58:29. > :58:32.the correct three finalists. They brought so much to the show. Lots of

:58:33. > :58:36.people talk about whether Ed Balls could have made before I know. It

:58:37. > :58:41.would not have been right, but it was greatly contributed so much --

:58:42. > :58:49.the final. When we are looking at Louise in action, a stickler for the

:58:50. > :58:54.Royals. He held them to account and is critical if they broke any rules.

:58:55. > :59:00.What will his departure mean for the show, Len Goodman? -- rules.

:59:01. > :59:04.Everybody loves him. They did a tribute and said what a gentleman he

:59:05. > :59:10.is. They did a beautiful dance club him. We will miss him. -- just for

:59:11. > :59:15.him. There will definitely be a whole. We will be thinking about him

:59:16. > :59:19.in many more series to come. Are you looking forward to the next series?

:59:20. > :59:25.Of course. Very much so. Who would you like to see in it? We have done

:59:26. > :59:30.it on our podcast. We would love to see Anna McKendrick. We would love

:59:31. > :59:38.to see and have a way. We are going big Hollywood stars -- and Hadaway.

:59:39. > :59:40.Good to see you both. We will talk more about it. Thank you. Nice to

:59:41. > :59:40.see you. We'll have a in-depth look

:11:11. > :11:13.charity World Vision joins us now from Istanbul in

:11:14. > :11:30.neighbouring Turkey. I know you are in constant contact

:11:31. > :11:36.with your teams on the ground. Could you put us up-to-date with the

:11:37. > :11:40.current situation? The situation inside Aleppo is chaotic. Our teams

:11:41. > :11:44.are starting to receive the evacuees that are coming into Idlib from

:11:45. > :11:50.Aleppo. The stories they are telling a completely horrific. It seems the

:11:51. > :11:54.evacuation, even when it did work, was quite chaotic and there are a

:11:55. > :11:57.horrible stories of children being squashed or pushed away from the

:11:58. > :12:02.buses as they are trying to get loaded. People are so desperate to

:12:03. > :12:07.get out of that city right now. And you speak about the situation from

:12:08. > :12:12.the people from Aleppo. The biggest problem is the fighting and the

:12:13. > :12:17.bombing but also the severe cold. That is causing huge problems for

:12:18. > :12:20.people who are trying to leave. Absolutely, is causing problems both

:12:21. > :12:24.as they are trying to leave but also those who have left. For those who

:12:25. > :12:27.are trying to leave, we have the most horrible stories. People

:12:28. > :12:31.getting cordoned into a smaller and smaller area as they try to escape

:12:32. > :12:33.the fighting through this warren of underground buildings. They don't

:12:34. > :12:37.necessarily have electricity and they are burning whatever they can

:12:38. > :12:41.find a heating. We have heard from people who arrived at the shelters

:12:42. > :12:45.that as they were waiting for the buses, sometimes five or more hours,

:12:46. > :12:49.they got so-called they literally burnt the luggage that they have

:12:50. > :12:53.been able to bring with them. It is so heartbreaking. Once they've

:12:54. > :12:57.reached the centres, some people are lucky enough to have family in the

:12:58. > :13:01.area and are taken in by their family. For others, they are being

:13:02. > :13:04.kept in these huge hangar is because it is literally the only space

:13:05. > :13:09.available for all of the people that we are hoping to be able to help. It

:13:10. > :13:12.is down to four degrees or even lower around Aleppo in the moment.

:13:13. > :13:17.It is simply just, we can't do enough to keep them warm. We also

:13:18. > :13:21.saw the evacuations were halted on Friday. Is there any suggestion that

:13:22. > :13:28.that evacuation and that process can now resume, that it is safe?

:13:29. > :13:31.Unfortunately, we have had two times where the evacuations were ceased.

:13:32. > :13:36.People were left on the street in great danger. In both cases, firing

:13:37. > :13:40.and the dropping of bombs started very quickly and we do think people

:13:41. > :13:46.were injured as they were waiting to the buses that never came. We do

:13:47. > :13:51.however have hoped that today, and heard yesterday that evacuations

:13:52. > :13:55.would commence and that -- again. And we hope it is going to hold for

:13:56. > :13:59.long enough to get the remaining civilians out of Aleppo. We had a

:14:00. > :14:03.bad at being a solution to this problem, the evacuation. But there

:14:04. > :14:07.is a lot of suggestion that the people that you waiting Aleppo and

:14:08. > :14:11.is being moved to cities that are facing very, very similar problems

:14:12. > :14:18.themselves. Absolutely. The evacuations out of Aleppo are not a

:14:19. > :14:26.solution. They are short-term solution Band-Aid. We are starting

:14:27. > :14:30.to worry that we are cordoning people into a smaller and smaller

:14:31. > :14:35.area. The only solution for Syria is for a long-term peaceful solution to

:14:36. > :14:39.be reached where families can move back to Syria and rebuild their

:14:40. > :14:43.lives. People we evacuated out of Aleppo are very clear to us, they

:14:44. > :14:46.want to go home. They don't want to stay in a temperate shelter, they

:14:47. > :14:50.don't want to stay with family members, even those we work with in

:14:51. > :14:54.Turkey do not want to stay here, they want to go home. We need to be

:14:55. > :14:58.able to make that happen. We are also hearing that the UN security

:14:59. > :15:01.council will decide later whether to send monitors into Aleppo to keep an

:15:02. > :15:06.eye on the evacuation process. What difference would that make it indeed

:15:07. > :15:10.it does go ahead? It would be amazing to have monitors on the

:15:11. > :15:13.ground. We did here before the official ceasefire and evacuations

:15:14. > :15:18.took place that people were trying to escape through other routes out

:15:19. > :15:22.of eastern Aleppo and there were all sorts of rumours to things happening

:15:23. > :15:27.to them. Detentions, the men of the correct age being taken off and

:15:28. > :15:30.forced into the army, women being raped, children and women being

:15:31. > :15:34.taken out of their homes or even killed inside their homes. Because

:15:35. > :15:39.the communication from Aleppo is so spotty, it would be amazing to have

:15:40. > :15:43.a reliable group of people inside the city who were there to monitor

:15:44. > :15:45.the situation and ensure that things don't happen like this. Thank you

:15:46. > :15:52.for the update. You're watching

:15:53. > :15:55.Breakfast from BBC News. The Communities Secretary,

:15:56. > :15:59.Sajid Javid, has called for all holders of public office

:16:08. > :16:09.administration, but claims Cabinet ministers have been banned

:16:10. > :16:27.from talking to him. And now look at this morning's

:16:28. > :16:33.weather. Hello again. It is still foggy and misty. It may linger into

:16:34. > :16:36.the afternoon for some places. It is especially dense across the southern

:16:37. > :16:40.half of England and south Wales. Like yesterday, slow on the roads,

:16:41. > :16:45.and there could be delays at airports. Bear that in mind if you

:16:46. > :16:49.have travel plans. That could linger into the afternoon. Patchy rain

:16:50. > :16:54.further north this morning. That will be a dying breed. The fog is

:16:55. > :16:57.dense and could linger into the afternoon for some places. That will

:16:58. > :17:01.keep it cold. The winds are light and it is essentially dry across the

:17:02. > :17:05.southern half of the UK. Patchy rain to this morning across northern

:17:06. > :17:09.parts of England into central Scotland. A lot will fade in the

:17:10. > :17:14.next couple of hours. Rain going in the western side of Scotland. It

:17:15. > :17:19.will be patchy to the afternoon. A south-westerly breeze up and over

:17:20. > :17:24.the Grampian is warming up. Decent temperatures around the Moray Firth.

:17:25. > :17:28.Around 14 or 15 degrees in a few places. Typically, nine or 10

:17:29. > :17:33.degrees for Aberdeen and Glasgow. Double figures in the south if you

:17:34. > :17:38.are lucky. Most places will be 7-9. Chilly as the fog lingers. If the

:17:39. > :17:41.fog is with you into the afternoon, it will thicken to the evening. It

:17:42. > :17:46.will be dense again towards the small hours of Monday morning. Bear

:17:47. > :17:50.that in mind for Monday morning. Intense fog patches across the south

:17:51. > :17:54.of the UK. Further north, dry weather and you get to the west of

:17:55. > :17:58.Scotland where there will be wet and windy weather getting into Northern

:17:59. > :18:03.Ireland. A chilly start with single figures across the board. Rain in

:18:04. > :18:10.the north-west. Windy, but the rain becomes patchy. In between, a vote

:18:11. > :18:14.of dry but rather cloudy weather. Not overly one. Single figures for

:18:15. > :18:20.most places. The winds are light. -- warm. Things will change to this

:18:21. > :18:24.coming week. It starts on a pretty reasonable note with dry weather. On

:18:25. > :18:28.Tuesday into Wednesday, we started developed wet weather. It will turn

:18:29. > :18:32.windy as well. The wind and rain will be a key feature as we head

:18:33. > :18:34.towards the latter part of the coming week. Back to you. Thank you

:18:35. > :18:37.very much. More than 200 million women around

:20:05. > :20:09.the airport team says the humanities have to learn that FGM is child

:20:10. > :20:15.abuse. She was cut as a six-year-old in Somalia. You are going through

:20:16. > :20:19.emotional and psychological things. You are physically in pain

:20:20. > :20:23.constantly, but nobody ever sits down and says, let's talk about what

:20:24. > :20:28.happened. That never happens. It is done, that is it. You have to move

:20:29. > :20:32.on after that. The team are concerned about one youngster who

:20:33. > :20:36.has been taken out of school before the official end of term. A phone

:20:37. > :20:39.call to be school confirms her mother's story as to why they are

:20:40. > :20:44.travelling. They are finally allowed to board. This is our last

:20:45. > :20:50.opportunity to engage with families before they fly to countries where

:20:51. > :20:54.FGM and other harmful practices might be conducted in the school

:20:55. > :20:59.holiday period. We are speaking to people to see what they know about

:21:00. > :21:04.it. A big part of this exercise is trying to raise awareness of FGM. I

:21:05. > :21:09.don't big it should be practised on any little girl, never ever. I am so

:21:10. > :21:13.happy to see them around, making a campaign like this -- think. The

:23:37. > :23:44.have you picked out? There is this new documentary about

:23:45. > :23:48.Prince Harry, and he says he is more at ease now with his role in public

:23:49. > :23:53.life. Whether you are loyalist or not, there is no doubt it is an

:23:54. > :23:59.unusual and weird existence to give as a prince under the microscope. He

:24:00. > :24:03.is frank about it. He struggled as a younger men, as a kid. The second

:24:04. > :24:07.stances with his mother. It took him a long time to find his role in his

:24:08. > :24:14.identity. He went into the armed forces. He said he is now in the

:24:15. > :24:18.right groove with the job until he understands his role. Also not been

:24:19. > :24:20.the air to the throne but the younger brother, it is tricky

:24:21. > :24:25.territory. The playboy prince, all of that stuff. I think now he does

:24:26. > :24:30.come across as a guy who is pretty much at ease with himself and to be

:24:31. > :24:37.public spotlight, as much as you can be. We are talking about us. Michael

:24:38. > :24:41.Sheen, the actor, in the Observer today, it says he is looking to

:24:42. > :24:47.scale down acting for the time being and change his plans for the future

:24:48. > :24:51.to focus on political activism. It would be a remarkable twist if this

:24:52. > :24:56.is true. He is one of our most acclaimed current actors. He has

:24:57. > :25:00.cracked Hollywood. Ironically we are talking about politics, and he is

:25:01. > :25:05.famous for playing Tony Blair three times on screen. Now he says he is

:25:06. > :25:11.going to give that up to relocate to his own native Port Talbot in Wales

:25:12. > :25:14.as a political activist. In the Observer, they say it is easy to be

:25:15. > :25:20.cynical about actors being involved in politics. Celebrities do get a

:25:21. > :25:25.bad press getting involved in politics. Donald Trump with all of

:25:26. > :25:30.the celebrities rating against him. It did not do any good. All of the

:25:31. > :25:36.celebrities use supported the Labour Party -- who supported. It doesn't

:25:37. > :25:39.yet true with the voters. I suppose there is one thing of the

:25:40. > :25:42.celebrities getting involved from the sidelines and saying, I think

:25:43. > :25:47.you should support this and do this, but to put your money where your

:25:48. > :25:50.mouth is and go out and be an activist... He is involved a lot

:25:51. > :25:58.into mini to grips. In while he has spoken out a lot about homelessness

:25:59. > :26:03.-- in community groups. Not a huge leap for what he has been doing on a

:26:04. > :26:06.small scale. The men who played Tony Blair might be a future Labour

:26:07. > :26:12.leader. Anything is possible these days. You are absolutely right. I

:26:13. > :26:16.love this story, Christmas karaoke. Jeremy Corbyn's Christmas karaoke

:26:17. > :26:21.meltdown. Jeremy Corbyn stormed out of a party because MPs were

:26:22. > :26:27.chanting, we want Tony. Explain that. We should take it with a pinch

:26:28. > :26:33.of salt, probably. It is kind of symbolic of another eventful year in

:26:34. > :26:36.the Labour Party where even a karaoke Christmas party could not

:26:37. > :26:42.quite go all that smoothly without a bit of a fallout. It is suggested

:26:43. > :26:45.some Labour MPs possibly having indulged in the festive spirit

:26:46. > :26:50.started saying things could only get better, famous for being the Tony

:26:51. > :26:54.Blair in them. And back in the USSR is another number that may have led

:26:55. > :26:58.to Jeremy Corbyn making a hasty exit. But we know it has been such

:26:59. > :27:02.an eventful year for the Labour leader to put it politely. But he is

:27:03. > :27:07.still standing. People wrote him off a long time but he is still there.

:27:08. > :27:12.Unfortunately a lot of his Labour colleagues do not want in there. I

:27:13. > :27:18.would love to see the quality of the singing in a karaoke session. Len

:27:28. > :27:33.back. Don't believe it, you will get bored and fidgety really quickly. It

:27:34. > :27:37.is hard to imagine the show without him. It was hard to imagine the show

:27:38. > :27:42.without Bruce Forsyth and it has gone on and done really well. It

:27:43. > :27:45.will be interesting to see who fills those considerable shoes. The

:27:46. > :27:52.bookies are talking about a few names. But it is a big call. It is a

:27:53. > :27:57.big cog in the Strictly machine. His head judge. You need to have a

:27:58. > :28:02.certain amount of authority and technical knowledge. I don't think

:28:03. > :28:06.Craig will want to do it because he enjoys his role as the pantomime

:28:18. > :28:22.to wear a Christmas jumper? Apparently not in the pub. There has

:28:23. > :28:26.been a bit of a backlash. I admit something embarrassing involving a

:28:27. > :28:35.few too many bottles. Why didn't you wear it this morning? -- baubles. I
