:00:22. > :00:25.At least 12 people are dead and dozens more are injured.

:00:26. > :00:28.The carnage happened just off a main shopping street as the vehicle

:00:29. > :00:31.mounted the pavement and crashed through wooden huts filled

:00:32. > :00:47.We heard it knocking down stalls and there was no skidding wheels,

:00:48. > :00:47.clearly no attempt to try to slow down.

:00:48. > :00:51.Police think the lorry was stolen from a building site in Poland.

:00:52. > :01:02.We'll be live in Berlin all morning with the latest.

:01:16. > :01:17.President Putin describes the assassination of Russia's

:01:18. > :01:30.ambassador to Turkey as an act of provocation.

:01:31. > :01:32.Little kicks, little punches, stuff like that.

:01:33. > :01:34.We'll hear from men who abuse their partners,

:01:35. > :01:37.as Breakfast is given exclusive access to a new way

:01:38. > :01:48.Good morning from one of the oldest gin distilleries in the UK. Sales

:01:55. > :02:04.to second in the Premier League. Good morning. Good morning. Some

:02:05. > :02:08.rain at the moment in western parts of England and Wales. For most, dry

:02:09. > :02:12.with variable amounts of cloud and some sunshine. Rain coming in from

:02:13. > :02:16.the west with some gales in the northern and western isles.

:02:17. > :02:21.And I'll have the full weather details in 15 minutes.

:02:22. > :02:27.12 people have died and around 50 have been injured after a lorry

:02:28. > :02:29.crashed into a Christmas market in Berlin.

:02:30. > :02:31.Police say it's a suspected terror attack.

:02:32. > :02:34.It happened at around 8:15 yesterday evening when the Christmas market

:02:35. > :02:38.Eyewitnesses say the vehicle ploughed into the busy market square

:02:39. > :02:41.The market is close to the popular tourist site

:02:42. > :02:43.of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, Berlin Zoo,

:02:44. > :02:46.and one of the main shopping streets in West Berlin.

:02:47. > :02:48.German police say they're investigating reports

:02:49. > :02:51.that the vehicle was stolen from a building site in Poland,

:02:52. > :03:03.Under the lights of one of Berlin's biggest Christmas markets,

:03:04. > :03:05.investigators examine the lorry that has caused so much

:03:06. > :03:12.It was loaded with steel beams when it turned off the road

:03:13. > :03:22.This footage shows the immediate aftermath.

:03:23. > :03:24.Just moments earlier, people had been enjoying food

:03:25. > :03:27.Rhys Meredith, from Cardiff, was visiting the market

:03:28. > :03:36.We heard it knocking down the stalls at an amazing rate of knots.

:03:37. > :03:45.There was no skidding wheels, clearly no attempt to slow down,

:03:46. > :03:54.despite him veering out of the market.

:03:55. > :03:57.The driver of the lorry then fled on foot, but was captured

:03:58. > :04:01.Reports claim he is an asylum seeker from either Afghanistan or Pakistan.

:04:02. > :04:06.The vehicle had come from Poland, and police say a Polish citizen

:04:07. > :04:09.was found dead in the passenger seat.

:04:10. > :04:18.The lorry's owner says his driver could not have been responsible.

:04:19. > :04:20.TRANSLATION: The person who was driving and jumped out

:04:21. > :04:26.They did something to him, and hijacked his truck.

:04:27. > :04:37.Some of them are in a critical condition.

:04:38. > :04:40.The scenes are a reminder of the lorry attack on Bastille Day

:04:41. > :04:42.crowds in the French city of Nice in July,

:04:43. > :04:53.The so-called Islamic State group claimed responsibility.

:04:54. > :04:56.Police say there is no evidence there will be further attacks in

:04:57. > :04:56.Berlin. But the German government has said

:04:57. > :05:06.the evidence so far points to this Investigations are ongoing this

:05:07. > :05:11.morning. We can she do live pictures. You can see in the centre

:05:12. > :05:17.of your screen where the flashing lights are the articulated lorry. It

:05:18. > :05:21.went through the centre of this Christmas market and you can see the

:05:22. > :05:29.damage it caused on its way. It happened less than 12 hours ago.

:05:30. > :05:33.Still in the initial stages of the investigation. One man has been

:05:34. > :05:43.arrested and is being talked to buy the authorities. We have talked to

:05:44. > :05:45.an eyewitness nearby when it happened and we will bring you news

:05:46. > :05:45.from him later. The UN Secretary General,

:05:46. > :05:48.Ban Ki-Moon, has described the killing of the Russian

:05:49. > :05:51.ambassador to Turkey as a "senseless Ambassador Andrei Karlov was shot

:05:52. > :05:54.dead yesterday by a Turkish policeman, apparently in protest

:06:08. > :06:09.a new treatment for early stage prostate cancer as "truly

:06:10. > :06:11.transformative." The approach, which uses lasers

:06:12. > :06:14.and a drug made from deep sea bacteria, can eliminate tumours

:06:15. > :06:17.without causing severe side effects More than four 100 men

:06:18. > :06:21.took part in the trial. Here's our health and science

:06:22. > :06:35.reporter, James Gallagher. Gerald is now free from cancer and

:06:36. > :06:48.feeling good. But when he was diagnosed he had taken done from,

:06:49. > :06:52.treat the tumour or let it grow to avoid side effects. But he was

:06:53. > :06:57.offered something pioneering. I wanted the same way of living that I

:06:58. > :07:01.had enjoyed in the past for the future. And I feel like the

:07:02. > :07:05.treatment I have had has allowed that. This drug is made from

:07:06. > :07:13.bacteria that grow is in the dark is of the ocean. It is only toxic when

:07:14. > :07:18.it is exposed to light. Up to ten of these lasers are inserted into the

:07:19. > :07:23.tumour to activate the drug and killed just the cancerous tissue.

:07:24. > :07:28.More than 400 men took part in the trial and nearly half had no signs

:07:29. > :07:32.of cancer after treatment and no patients had serious side-effects.

:07:33. > :07:36.The harms with traditional treatments have always been side

:07:37. > :07:41.effects, urinary incontinence, sexual difficulty occurring in the

:07:42. > :07:46.majority of men who have treatment. And to have a new treatment we can

:07:47. > :07:52.administer two men who are eligible that is free of those side effects

:07:53. > :07:56.is truly transformative. Gerald says he is lucky to have been on the

:07:57. > :08:00.trial but it is not yet ready for patients. Doctors want more

:08:01. > :08:02.long-term data before it can be offered to the general public. BBC

:08:03. > :08:02.News. The Scottish First Minister,

:08:03. > :08:05.Nicola Sturgeon, will today set out plans for how Scotland could stay

:08:06. > :08:08.in the European Single Market after She says leaving the single market

:08:09. > :08:11.would be potentially devastating to Scotland's economy,

:08:12. > :08:14.and is expected to propose more powers are devolved

:08:15. > :08:16.to the Holyrood Parliament Earlier this month, the Chancellor,

:08:17. > :08:20.Philip Hammond said a separate Brexit deal for Scotland

:08:21. > :08:27.was "not realistic." The US Electoral College has

:08:28. > :08:29.confirmed Donald Trump's election as the next President

:08:30. > :08:32.of the United States. This was in spite of a last-ditch

:08:33. > :08:35.attempt by opponents to block Mr Trump's path to the White House,

:08:36. > :08:38.after his rival, Hillary Clinton, Mr Trump has promised to "work hard

:08:46. > :09:21.trusts in England show that overseas patients not entitled to free

:09:22. > :09:24.healthcare left the NHS with an unpaid bill

:09:25. > :09:26.of thirty million last year. The debt appears to have

:09:27. > :09:28.increased sharply over The government has reminded

:09:29. > :09:32.hospitals of their legal duty to recover the money,

:09:33. > :09:35.and has encouraged them to ask to see passports before

:09:36. > :09:36.giving treatment. Glastonbury Festival could move

:09:37. > :09:39.to a new site 100 miles away in three years' time to protect

:09:40. > :09:42.the land at its current The event's founder, Michael Eavis,

:09:43. > :09:46.says the new location "towards the Midlands" would be

:09:47. > :09:48.used every five years. However, Mr Eavis indicated

:09:49. > :09:51.that he would be reluctant to see the festival move from

:09:52. > :09:56.its home permanently. That is in Somerset. Some people

:09:57. > :10:00.would agree. Those are the stories and we will have the weather soon.

:10:01. > :10:03.Sally is here and we will start with cricket. The football is coming up

:10:04. > :10:07.soon. That finished late last night. I like cricket as well. You may not

:10:08. > :10:10.like this. English cricketers are trying to save the fifth and final

:10:11. > :10:14.test against India in Chennai. They have made it to lunch without losing

:10:15. > :10:15.a wicket. They are 97 without loss, 187.

:10:16. > :10:19.Liverpool have Sadio Mane to thank for victory in the Merseyside derby.

:10:20. > :10:21.His injury-time goal gave them a 1-0 win over Everton,

:10:22. > :10:24.and moved them up to second in the Premier League.

:10:25. > :10:26.But they're six points behind leaders, Chelsea.

:10:27. > :10:29.The FA says they'll appeal against a fine of over ?35,000

:10:30. > :10:32.for wearing poppies on their armbands when they played

:10:46. > :10:47.an over-the-counter decongestant, according to Team Sky boss,

:10:48. > :10:51.Fluimucil is legal in sport, and used on a regular basis.

:10:52. > :10:54.The package was delivered to the team bus on the final day

:10:55. > :10:57.of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine, which was won by Sir Bradley

:10:58. > :11:12.That is Sir Dave Brailsford talking about that yesterday. That mystery

:11:13. > :11:21.package we have heard about a lot was a decongestant. Thank you. Only

:11:22. > :11:26.one story makes the front page. A couple actually. What happened in

:11:27. > :11:32.Berlin. That happened last night. Christmas carnage in Berlin. Inside,

:11:33. > :11:38.many papers have more details and of course more photographs as well and

:11:39. > :11:41.maps. Everyone is tried to piece together, including police, this

:11:42. > :11:47.morning, exactly what happened. They are talking about the lorry going at

:11:48. > :11:52.40 miles an hour hitting pedestrians in the Christmas markets and various

:11:53. > :11:56.buildings etc. And we have seen pictures this morning of where it

:11:57. > :12:02.came to a standstill. It appears to be a large road, but it is not clear

:12:03. > :12:07.at this time why it actually stopped there. That is why they are trying

:12:08. > :12:13.to investigate at the moment. Pictures like this dominate at the

:12:14. > :12:18.moment. Nine dead, it says, but that has been updated to 12 confirmed

:12:19. > :12:24.dead in Berlin after this lorry drove into the Christmas market.

:12:25. > :12:28.Carnage at a Christmas market. And the front nature of The Daily

:12:29. > :12:34.Mirror. A bloodbath massacre at the Christmas market. That is the front

:12:35. > :12:39.page. And that is the front page of The Daily Telegraph. Only two

:12:40. > :12:44.stories. The killing of the Russian ambassador is the other story in

:12:45. > :12:49.Turkey which makes up the front pages of many stories. Another

:12:50. > :12:51.critical photo taken by a photographer.

:12:52. > :12:54.Let's get more on our top story, at least 12 people have died

:12:55. > :12:57.and almost 50 are injured after a lorry crashed

:12:58. > :13:01.Officials say they suspect it was a deliberate attack.

:13:02. > :13:06.The market was full of people at the time, many of them tourists.

:13:07. > :13:15.These are live pictures. You can see on the right hand side.

:13:16. > :13:18.We can speak to Jon Campbell from Pontypridd now.

:13:19. > :13:21.He's on holiday in Berlin, and joins us on the phone now.

:13:22. > :13:28.Thank you so much for joining us. I understand your hotel is very close

:13:29. > :13:41.to where this happened. Described to us what happened last night. --

:13:42. > :13:45.describe. Where we are staying, the Christmas markets are 200- 300

:13:46. > :13:52.metres away. We came here as tourists. We spent the last few

:13:53. > :13:58.evenings there. My girlfriend is a stickler for plans. We went at 8pm

:13:59. > :14:06.last night. It was only at a whim that we decided to pop into a

:14:07. > :14:11.restaurant. We had a phone call. We were sat in the restaurant and

:14:12. > :14:17.ambulances and police vans were speeding past and we thought, what

:14:18. > :14:22.happened? My sister said, are you guys OK? I was like, what

:14:23. > :14:29.happenedthought something happened at home. She told me that a truck

:14:30. > :14:33.had gone through the Christmas markets in Berlin. That is when

:14:34. > :14:38.everyone in the restaurant started watching the news. That is where we

:14:39. > :14:44.were supposed to be. It is hard to describe. I am shocked. I could be

:14:45. > :14:47.eating a hot dog and having a beer and then suddenly there would be a

:14:48. > :14:51.lorry ploughing through. Tell us about the atmosphere last night. Did

:14:52. > :14:58.you go back to the hotel? What happened? Yeah, it was quite

:14:59. > :15:04.intense. Maybe the events of Paris were in some people's minds. You

:15:05. > :15:08.hear about this and you think, it happened in one place, will it

:15:09. > :15:17.happen in another? The advice was given quickly. Instinctively people

:15:18. > :15:21.stayed where they were. But we were under the impression it would be

:15:22. > :15:26.safer to go straight back to our hotel. So we got a taxi straight

:15:27. > :15:35.there. When we were getting the taxi back we realised the disruption

:15:36. > :15:40.going on. The entrance was blocked near the memorial church. All the

:15:41. > :15:44.roads were totally closed. You could not actually see the market when we

:15:45. > :15:50.were driving past. But it really gave you a sense of what was going

:15:51. > :15:55.on there. OK, thank you very much for joining us.

:15:56. > :16:03.Let's get some more reaction from a security analyst in Berlin. Thank

:16:04. > :16:08.you for joining us. We are hearing from authorities it is a suspected

:16:09. > :16:13.terror at. Had Germany been on high alert for a while? Yes. Security

:16:14. > :16:22.forces have been warning people for sometime that Germany is threatened

:16:23. > :16:27.and that from various sides there were plans to attack German citizens

:16:28. > :16:32.on German soil. So far it seems we have been lucky until last night.

:16:33. > :16:37.You know the area of Berlin well. Can you describe the location of the

:16:38. > :16:44.market where this happened? It is in the western part of Berlin, it is

:16:45. > :16:52.the heart of the old West Berlin. In the centre you have the Emperor

:16:53. > :16:56.William Memorial Church, which was partially destroyed in World War

:16:57. > :17:04.Two, and remained his way as a symbol for peace. And around the

:17:05. > :17:08.church, you have this neat square with a fountain, where we have lots

:17:09. > :17:13.of festivities in the summer and each year in the winter time there

:17:14. > :17:18.is a Christmas market. Authorities have said that it is a suspected

:17:19. > :17:21.terror attack and it happened at a time when the market was packed with

:17:22. > :17:29.tourists and with Germans as well. Yes. Traditionally, after work

:17:30. > :17:34.people go with colleagues for one last line to the Christmas market to

:17:35. > :17:38.get in the mood and you meet with family, or after the shopping trip

:17:39. > :17:41.you go there, and of course the many tourists who have come to Berlin

:17:42. > :17:48.love to go to these Christmas markets. Yes. And what is the

:17:49. > :17:57.feeling like in Berlin this morning? The city is still relatively quiet

:17:58. > :18:06.and, of course, in a few minutes or so life will have to continue but

:18:07. > :18:12.surely the mood will have to be relatively sober. Like last night, I

:18:13. > :18:16.came back home, used public transportation, everyone was quiet.

:18:17. > :18:20.It wasn't the normal mood you experience when you come to Berlin.

:18:21. > :18:27.Understandable. Thank you very much. A security analyst in Berlin this

:18:28. > :18:28.morning. That is of course the main story this morning. It is.

:18:29. > :18:35.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:18:36. > :18:40.The main stories this morning: At least 12 people have died

:18:41. > :18:44.and dozens more have been injured after a lorry drove into a busy

:18:45. > :18:47.Police now say they suspect terrorism.

:18:48. > :18:49.The German authorities are questioning a man thought

:18:50. > :18:59.We will catch up with the weather this morning. We can have a second

:19:00. > :19:04.glimpse with Carol. Good morning. Today it is relatively quiet,

:19:05. > :19:09.however we have heavy rain and windy conditions coming later on.

:19:10. > :19:13.Currently we have rain, not for Scotland, here there is clear skies

:19:14. > :19:18.and dry weather. It is cold without a lot of frost and fog. It is the

:19:19. > :19:23.same for Northern Ireland with frost around, patchy fog, clear skies. For

:19:24. > :19:28.England and Wales it is a murky start with a lot of cloud around and

:19:29. > :19:35.a few breaks here and there, for example is -- in East Anglia at a

:19:36. > :19:40.weather front brings patchy rain for western Wales and also south-west

:19:41. > :19:44.England. That is courtesy of this weather front which will tend to

:19:45. > :19:50.fizzle but the next comes in with wet and windy weather. For the bulk

:19:51. > :19:55.of eastern and central Scotland, and also England, we have a dry and fine

:19:56. > :19:59.day with some sunny spells. This rain will be heavy as it comes in

:20:00. > :20:05.across Northern Ireland and Scotland later, accompanied by strong wind.

:20:06. > :20:09.We are looking at GUS up to gale force with exposure at the Outer

:20:10. > :20:15.Hebrides we could have 60 or 70 mph -- gusts. These are the kind of

:20:16. > :20:21.gusts to expect into the evening. If you are travelling in a high sided

:20:22. > :20:26.vehicle, bear that in mind, or even a light vehicle or even a bike. The

:20:27. > :20:30.next comes in with some squalyl showers. Some of them will be wintry

:20:31. > :20:35.even at low levels. It will affect some of the higher level routes --

:20:36. > :20:39.squally showers. And also the hills and mountains, where we will see

:20:40. > :20:43.some light snow. It is a cold night in prospect in the north. Tomorrow

:20:44. > :20:48.we start off with those squally showers and we carry them on through

:20:49. > :20:52.the day, and snow at low levels. In southern Scotland and Northern

:20:53. > :20:56.Ireland it is likely in the hills. The first band of rain meanwhile

:20:57. > :21:00.sinks south, weakening in doing so, and behind it we see something

:21:01. > :21:06.bright, and in fact in between the showers something bright comes our

:21:07. > :21:11.way as well. Moving into Thursday, it is quieter weatherwise. We will

:21:12. > :21:15.have some showers for northern parts, it will be wintry and cold,

:21:16. > :21:18.the top temperature only four degrees in Aberdeen, but at least

:21:19. > :21:24.there is sunshine in between the showers, not just in the north, but

:21:25. > :21:28.in the south. As we had from Thursday into Friday things will up

:21:29. > :21:32.weatherwise once again. We have an active area of low pressure coming

:21:33. > :21:36.our way. The rain will rattle through quickly through the course

:21:37. > :21:41.of Friday but it will once again be very windy, particularly so in the

:21:42. > :21:49.north of the country. In the run-up to Christmas, expect spells of wind

:21:50. > :21:54.and rain, although the rain will go through quite quickly. Thank you

:21:55. > :21:59.very much. It does not look lovely. Look at that. Even though you have

:22:00. > :22:02.tried to make it look lovely. Thank you. There was a bit of sunshine in

:22:03. > :22:03.the bottom part of the picture. As Christmas approaches,

:22:04. > :22:06.police are preparing for a sharp It's the time of year when incidents

:22:07. > :22:10.of abuse traditionally spike. As part of our in-depth look

:22:11. > :22:13.at Policing Britain this week, Fiona Trott has been to visit

:22:14. > :22:16.a project in Sunderland trying to identify men who are at risk

:22:17. > :22:27.of becoming abusers. Welcome, everybody. The new way of

:22:33. > :22:36.are learning how their ABC of behaviour is affecting their

:22:37. > :22:45.partner. Is it a reason to stay or to go? She would be better off if

:22:46. > :22:51.she left. The 26 week course involves the charity Barnardo is, it

:22:52. > :22:55.can get up to 20 referrals a month just in Sunderland. Little kicks,

:22:56. > :23:01.little punches, stuff like that, then she was starting to hit me.

:23:02. > :23:06.This man was referred by his GP. So how has the course helped you? Take

:23:07. > :23:22.time to think about stuff. It learns you how to take time-out. So even if

:23:23. > :23:27.I am texting until it is getting out of hand, I might take time-out. This

:23:28. > :23:30.project means we can get two men and help them change their behaviour

:23:31. > :23:34.before they get involved with the criminal justice system. We want to

:23:35. > :23:40.stop things escalating to that point, because we know when the

:23:41. > :23:45.police get called it is usually quite serious injuries and

:23:46. > :23:50.incidents. There is another element to this early intervention program.

:23:51. > :23:56.The local housing association is also involved. Hello, how are you.

:23:57. > :23:59.They check that perpetrators are a attending the course and they

:24:00. > :24:03.checked up on the victims themselves. They might have

:24:04. > :24:07.something like a broken window, broken bathroom door locks, for

:24:08. > :24:12.example, things like that. We might be looking at an antisocial

:24:13. > :24:16.behaviour complaint or a noise nuisance, or is it actually domestic

:24:17. > :24:21.abuse? He was kicking the Dorian in the middle of the night, my windows

:24:22. > :24:25.were going out. This woman was so afraid of her X partner that she

:24:26. > :24:30.carried a knife. Her words are spoken by someone else. It finally

:24:31. > :24:35.came to the day where he assaulted us and put us in hospital. He got 16

:24:36. > :24:40.months in jail. I was so pleased. I know it sounds crazy. You know, I

:24:41. > :24:45.was lying in a hospital bed covered in blood. I was so happy he had done

:24:46. > :24:49.it because, to me, I was free. In every community there is a woman

:24:50. > :24:54.like her. Here in Sunderland charities hope working with the

:24:55. > :24:56.local housing association, abusive relationships can stop before women

:25:02. > :25:04.we'll be reporting on our fear of crime and how that

:25:05. > :25:15.impacts on our lives. Very specifically about domestic

:25:37. > :25:39.later on. I have seen her, that is why I said hello. We will have more

:25:40. > :25:41.on what is going on in Berlin. Time now to get the news,

:29:14. > :29:16.and sport in a moment. We'll speak to a British tourist

:30:08. > :30:12.12 people have died and around 50 have been injured after a lorry

:30:13. > :30:14.crashed into a Christmas market in Berlin.

:30:15. > :30:17.Police say it's a suspected terror attack.

:30:18. > :30:21.A man, thought to be the driver, has been arrested.

:30:22. > :30:30.They are questioning him. Here is Greg Dawson with more.

:30:31. > :30:33.Under the lights of one of Berlin's biggest Christmas markets,

:30:34. > :30:35.investigators examine the lorry that has caused so much

:30:36. > :30:39.It was loaded with steel beams when it turned off the road

:30:40. > :30:44.This footage shows the immediate aftermath.

:30:45. > :30:46.Just moments earlier, people had been enjoying food

:30:47. > :30:50.Rhys Meredith, from Cardiff, was visiting the market

:30:51. > :31:00.We heard it knocking down the stalls at an amazing rate of knots.

:31:01. > :31:04.And, you know, there was no skidding wheels,

:31:05. > :31:06.or there was clearly no attempt to slow down,

:31:07. > :31:14.despite him veering out of the market.

:31:15. > :31:16.The driver of the lorry then fled on foot,

:31:17. > :31:21.Reports claim he is an asylum seeker from either Afghanistan or Pakistan

:31:22. > :31:23.who had arrived in Germany in February.

:31:24. > :31:26.The vehicle had come from Poland, and police say a Polish citizen

:31:27. > :31:29.was found dead in the passenger seat.

:31:30. > :31:35.The lorry's owner says his driver could not have been responsible.

:32:19. > :32:21.Authorities say there is no indication of any further threats

:32:22. > :32:25.But the German government has said the evidence so far points to this

:32:26. > :32:33.This happened under 12 hours ago. We can show you what is happening in

:32:34. > :32:38.Berlin at the moment. We have looked at this picture for the last half an

:32:39. > :32:48.hour also. Police are investigating. You can see the flashing lights on

:32:49. > :32:53.your screen of the lorry. They are trying to figure out why it came to

:32:54. > :32:59.stop at that point and how it got in. We were told all police measures

:33:00. > :33:04.are operating at full steam with full diligence to figure out what

:33:05. > :33:08.happened in that Christmas market in Berlin last night. And they are

:33:09. > :33:12.calling it a suspected terror attack. In a moment on Breakfast we

:33:13. > :33:17.will get more reaction to developments in Berlin and what it

:33:18. > :33:21.could mean for security both over there in the Christmas period and in

:33:22. > :33:26.the UK as well. And to give you advice from the Foreign Office here,

:33:27. > :33:29.you are supposed to avoid the area and follow the advice of local

:33:30. > :33:34.authorities. They say there is a high threat of terrorism. The German

:33:35. > :33:38.government has announced increased security as a proportion of

:33:39. > :33:43.transport hubs and large public gatherings and events. That is the

:33:44. > :33:47.advice from the Foreign Office this morning. That is if you are

:37:17. > :37:20.above Manchester City, but they're six points

:37:21. > :37:26.behind leaders, Chelsea. I think we deserved to win. There

:37:27. > :37:32.were some close situations. This was one of them. We were still awake and

:37:33. > :37:37.wanted to win. With the changes we made I think we gave the side some

:37:38. > :37:41.kind of stability and some experienced striker with Daniel. So

:37:42. > :37:54.it was good. Of course, a bit lucky. We are really disappointed. We

:37:55. > :38:01.conceded a goal in extra time. Eight minutes, that is difficult. It was

:38:02. > :38:06.already difficult to keep one point until 90-95 minutes. The eighth

:38:07. > :38:08.minute was hard for us. Football's world governing body has

:39:37. > :39:46.wanted to see. A spectacular stunt. Show jumping! He is going rather

:39:47. > :39:50.quickly. I went there on Saturday. The dogs on the horses was quite

:39:51. > :39:59.extraordinary. So well-behaved. I am not trying to play down the dogs,

:40:00. > :40:01.but are they just sitting there? No, there is some tricks that they do.

:40:02. > :40:04.Let's get more now on our top story this morning.

:40:05. > :40:07.The lorry crash at a Berlin Christmas market that has left 12

:40:08. > :40:09.people dead and more than 50 injured.

:40:10. > :40:12.Germany's Interior Minister said there were indications it had been

:40:13. > :40:26.It left devastation. It crashed through some stalls. It is believed

:40:27. > :40:29.the truck was stolen in Poland. Let's speak now to Joachim Krause,

:40:30. > :40:32.a German security analyst. Joachim, had there been any

:40:33. > :40:37.warning of an attack? Good morning. Thank you for joining

:40:38. > :40:44.us. The investigation is very much ongoing at this stage. Police said

:40:45. > :40:49.in the last hour or so that they suspect this is a terror attack.

:40:50. > :40:56.Obviously for at least the first four or five hours German officials

:40:57. > :41:01.were reluctant to frame the incident as a terrorist attack. But after a

:41:02. > :41:07.few hours it almost came impossible to frame it in any other way. Just

:41:08. > :41:12.like every witness we talked to talk about the fact that this attack was

:41:13. > :41:17.absolutely deliberate. In the early hours of this morning, things became

:41:18. > :41:23.even more clear. That actually the attack was 100% deliberate. By

:41:24. > :41:27.looking at various platforms, Islamic State has already kind of

:41:28. > :41:33.claimed responsibility for what happened that night in Germany. We

:41:34. > :41:37.were speaking to a security analyst based in Berlin this morning and

:41:38. > :41:43.they said that Germany had been on high alert like many European

:41:44. > :41:47.countries at the time. And that included people in a confined space

:41:48. > :41:53.like a Christmas market. Remember, what happened in Germany, in Berlin,

:41:54. > :42:01.was an isolated event. 2016 was one of the most fateful years when it

:42:02. > :42:06.comes to terrorism. In the recent history of Europe. What happened in

:42:07. > :42:11.Germany and only over the summer in the south of France when a similar

:42:12. > :42:15.incident kind of took place, unfortunately, over 80 people lost

:42:16. > :42:20.their lives. And of course, the German market, very much like

:42:21. > :42:23.Bastille Day in France, has a lot of significance. So obviously they

:42:24. > :42:27.thought very carefully about choosing the right time and the

:42:28. > :42:31.right place or this type of atrocity. We have to say that so

:42:32. > :42:38.much is unknown this morning and not confirmed. There is one news agency,

:42:39. > :42:48.the DPA Newsagency, that says he is either in Afghanistan or Pakistan

:42:49. > :42:53.asylum seeker. What is your knowledge on that? We do not know

:42:54. > :43:00.the identity of the driver. But what we know is that obviously terrorism

:43:01. > :43:03.predates the Syrian civil war. But there is no doubt that the Syrian

:43:04. > :43:08.civil war has more than anything contributed to the globalisation of

:43:09. > :43:11.terrorism. Even for a minute I cannot disconnect what is happening

:43:12. > :43:14.right now in Syria, what is happening right now in the Middle

:43:15. > :43:18.East, and what is happening right now in Europe in terms of kind of

:43:19. > :43:23.security and terrorism. And what happened in Berlin last night, the

:43:24. > :43:30.world is reacting. Will there be increased security in the UK it and

:43:31. > :43:34.Europe over the Christmas period? That is that may be the case over

:43:35. > :43:37.the last few years. Just before coming here I read the news that

:43:38. > :43:39.France has decided to increased security. Various officials have

:43:40. > :43:44.been talking about a possible attack. So we are definitely going

:43:45. > :43:48.to see increased security in the UK before and around Christmas. OK.

:43:49. > :43:52.Thank you very much for your time. I think we will talk to you later.

:43:53. > :43:56.Thank you. The Foreign Office is talking about going to Germany and

:43:57. > :43:59.say they advised staying away from the area where the incident happened

:44:00. > :44:04.and follow the advice of German authorities. They have announced

:44:05. > :44:08.increased security around the area. News coming in all the time this

:44:09. > :44:11.morning and we will bring you the latest when we get it. Plenty other

:44:12. > :44:15.news to get you this morning, including the weather.

:44:16. > :44:25.We are often fairly quiet start with frost Dan Fogg as well. Later it

:44:26. > :44:32.will turn much more windy -- frost and fog. We have some frost and some

:44:33. > :44:38.patchy fog. It is the same for Northern Ireland, clear skies means

:44:39. > :44:42.temperatures tumbled. For England and Wales, there is more cloud

:44:43. > :44:47.around, he and their one or two breaks in East Anglia with frost

:44:48. > :44:54.developing before the day really breaks and then as we drift to the

:44:55. > :44:58.west we have spots of rain for western Wales and south-west England

:44:59. > :45:02.and it is dank on the south coast. It will brighten up as dry air moves

:45:03. > :45:07.in from the continent. We will see some sunshine for many parts of

:45:08. > :45:11.England, east Wales and Scotland. Hanging on to the dank nurse in the

:45:12. > :45:16.west and then substantial rain comes from the west for Northern and with

:45:17. > :45:22.that strengthening wind as well. The wind will be gale force, even severe

:45:23. > :45:26.for some, that is the dusts. If you are travelling later this afternoon

:45:27. > :45:31.through the evening, bear that in mind if you are in a light vehicle,

:45:32. > :45:35.high sided vehicle or a bike. Through the night the rain will sing

:45:36. > :45:40.south, it will be quite windy. It will weaken. There will be dry

:45:41. > :45:44.conditions behind it but a band of showers pushing across Northern

:45:45. > :45:49.Ireland and Scotland and they will likely fall as snow in Scotland

:45:50. > :45:53.north of the central belt, possibly to low levels by the end of the

:45:54. > :46:03.night, which might affect high-level routes. Tomorrow we start off with a

:46:04. > :46:08.similar -- similar vein. North of the Central Lowlands. We will have

:46:09. > :46:11.some hail and thunder mixed in. Rain showers across Northern Ireland and

:46:12. > :46:16.sunshine here. Sunshine for northern England and Wales. Meanwhile, the

:46:17. > :46:22.band of rain moving south, which was weakening, peps up once again.

:46:23. > :46:27.Temperatures in the south but it will be cold further north. Into

:46:28. > :46:31.Thursday, the band of rain to the new continent. Thursday is quieter.

:46:32. > :46:36.Much more dry weather. Some sunny spells and a peppering of showers

:46:37. > :46:41.across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some of those in Scotland

:46:42. > :46:46.will be wintry. As we head through Thursday into Friday the next Potent

:46:47. > :46:50.area of low pressure comes. That will introduce heavy rain. It will

:46:51. > :46:54.push through quite quickly because it will be a windy day. The

:46:55. > :47:00.strongest wind with gales more likely in the north. That takes us

:47:01. > :47:05.in the run-up to Christmas, more spells of wind and rain, so keep in

:47:06. > :47:09.touch with the weather if you are travelling. We will. Thank you. We

:47:18. > :47:20.who say younger people - who are statistically more likely

:47:21. > :47:23.to be victims of crime - often don't take the risks

:47:24. > :47:26.seriously, whereas older people aren't targeted as much

:47:27. > :47:28.as they may think. As part of our Policing Britain

:47:47. > :47:55.doesn't look or feel like a hotbed of crime and it isn't. Of the 20

:47:56. > :48:00.ward in Nottingham Clifton came 17th in terms of overall reported crime

:48:01. > :48:05.with just 70 incidents reported to the police last year. And yet almost

:48:06. > :48:10.40% of people here in Clifton think crime is a big or very big trouble.

:48:11. > :48:14.The fear of crime is the second-highest here in the whole of

:48:15. > :48:19.Nottingham. We have a link with the Clifton police. Pat is chair of the

:48:20. > :48:24.Clifton residents association. Their Facebook page is a way to keep in

:48:25. > :48:27.touch about every incident. One reason why the perception of crime

:48:28. > :48:33.and reality is out of sync. Pat says there are others. We used to get

:48:34. > :48:38.regular updates from the police of the crime figures for the area. With

:48:39. > :48:49.the police having to have cutbacks we no longer get them so that may

:48:50. > :48:55.skew people's perceptions. Part of it I think is the amount of media

:48:56. > :49:00.that people are sitting with. Mike is the chief comes to Durham and the

:49:01. > :49:05.UK police lead on crime. Media reporting on crime is one reason he

:49:06. > :49:09.says. Fear of it continues to rise. I think the other thing is we have

:49:10. > :49:14.become better at making sure that people know about crime. One of the

:49:15. > :49:18.ways we can galvanise the public is to make sure they know that there is

:49:19. > :49:22.a risk and they can do something about it. We might even be partly to

:49:48. > :49:53.the last 10 years. It is definitely on the rise. It is getting worse?

:49:54. > :49:58.Definitely. The truth is overall crime has been falling and it has

:49:59. > :50:07.fallen since 1995 every year. The police are investigating this glory

:50:08. > :50:16.but RICHARD CONELIANO: Raises lots of people have lost faith. They

:51:08. > :51:08.be covering up until Friday. Yes. Lots of people talk about getting

:51:09. > :51:11.into the Christmas spirit, but Steph's really taken

:51:12. > :51:13.it to heart this year. With sales of gin and rum

:51:14. > :51:18.booming in the last year, she's at one of the UK's oldest

:51:19. > :51:29.distilleries to find out how they're How on earth have you landed with

:51:30. > :51:35.this job this morning? LAUGHTER I love that you clarified it. IM here

:51:36. > :51:40.for a news reason. I am not here just to drink spirits. I am at one

:51:41. > :51:46.of the oldest distilleries in the UK. They make something like a

:51:47. > :51:53.quarter of a million bottles of spirits every single day. That is a

:51:54. > :51:57.lot. We are interested in June. This is one of the distillery bits which

:51:58. > :52:04.helps to make it. I will bring in John Mann. She can explain how it

:52:05. > :52:08.works. Tell us what is in June? It is essentially three building blocks

:52:09. > :52:15.-- gin. Grain spirit, we use British wheat, we have botanicals and local

:52:16. > :52:20.water. One of the key botanicals we have to put in is juniper berries.

:52:21. > :52:26.Let's have a look. We get these from the Toscana region in Italy and it

:52:27. > :52:30.gives it the beautiful perfume notes which you recognise gin is all

:52:31. > :52:36.about. We also have coriander seeds which we get from Morocco which give

:52:37. > :52:41.you the citrus and spice notes and then we have a lemon peel which is

:52:42. > :52:48.just here. This is from, this is hand peeled. This is from Spain.

:52:49. > :52:56.People sit around in Spain peeling lemons. How do you make, then, you

:52:57. > :53:05.have your ingredients? We place the botanical, water and spirits, and

:53:06. > :53:10.today we are making Greenall's gin, we place it all in the pot, we close

:53:11. > :53:16.the manhole and we hit it up with steam. When we get to 80 degrees the

:53:17. > :53:21.alcohol will boil away from the water. It takes all other flavours

:53:22. > :53:27.from the botanicals. Faber travels up the column, over the line and

:53:28. > :53:33.hits the condenser and back into the receiving tanks. Excellent and

:53:34. > :53:38.quality control. We are here talking about gin because sales are up 10%

:53:39. > :53:44.in the last year. It is a spirit at the moment that is booming. We have

:53:45. > :53:54.Simon, the head of buying beer, alcohol and wine for the

:53:55. > :53:58.Co-operative Group. Have you seen a change in the way people purchase

:53:59. > :54:03.alcohol? Absolutely. People are looking for more distinctive

:54:04. > :54:09.products. That is great for us. And gin is leading the way in terms of

:54:10. > :54:15.seeing the trend to products with Providence or an artisan background,

:54:16. > :54:19.which is great for an industry. So, RUC in that people are buying

:54:20. > :54:23.premium at cheap and it is the middle ground where less is going

:54:24. > :54:32.on? Are we all just buying more alcohol? Our home brand is doing

:54:33. > :54:35.really well. And then at the weekend people are trading up. If they are

:54:36. > :54:41.buying a gift they want something more premium with a premium feel,

:54:42. > :54:45.which could be packaging or a flavour they are looking for. As I

:54:46. > :54:51.say, that is more exciting and we can put more interesting products on

:54:52. > :54:57.the shelves. Why do you think gin is doing well? It is an industry that

:54:58. > :55:03.is UK-based, which is exciting, and it is engaging for customers. People

:55:04. > :55:07.understand the different chemicals you put in give a different flavour

:55:08. > :55:12.and I think when people went into the bar and ordered a gin and tonic

:55:13. > :55:16.has ended. People specify the preferred gin and a different route

:55:17. > :55:20.they put in and they will personalise the drink to their

:55:21. > :55:26.taste. Thank you for your time. We will show you more of this process.

:55:27. > :55:30.We will get it going shortly. The smell in here is gorgeous and you

:55:31. > :55:35.can really smell the botanicals. You will be back with me in a bit to get

:55:36. > :55:41.more of this. It is fascinating. I was taking a lot of notes.

:55:42. > :55:45.Genuinely. She is going to buy one of those massive pipes for her back

:55:46. > :55:47.garden. I don't think I have a pot that big. You need some juniper

:55:48. > :55:48.berries. He's joining us back

:55:49. > :55:54.on the Breakfast sofa, Strictly Champion Ore Oduba will be

:55:55. > :56:11.here to tell us how he's coping I think the truth is he is going to

:56:12. > :56:13.dance again, isn't he? Of course he is, he can't stop!

:56:14. > :59:33.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:00:22. > :00:27.A man thought to have been driving the lorry has been arrested.

:00:28. > :00:30.The carnage happened just off a main shopping street as the vehicle

:02:44. > :02:48.have been injured after a lorry crashed into a Christmas

:02:49. > :02:50.market in Berlin. Police say it's

:02:51. > :02:52.a suspected terror attack. It happened at around 8:15 yesterday

:02:53. > :02:55.evening when the Christmas market Eyewitnesses say the vehicle

:02:56. > :03:01.ploughed into the busy market square The market is close

:03:02. > :03:04.to the popular tourist site of the Kaiser Wilhelm

:03:05. > :03:06.Memorial Church, Berlin Zoo, and one of the main shopping

:03:07. > :03:09.streets in West Berlin. German police say they're

:03:10. > :03:10.investigating reports that the vehicle was stolen

:03:11. > :03:13.from a building site in Poland, Under the lights of one of Berlin's

:03:14. > :03:24.biggest Christmas markets, investigators examine the lorry

:03:25. > :03:27.that has caused so much It was loaded with steel beams

:03:28. > :03:35.when it turned off the road This footage shows

:03:36. > :03:37.the immediate aftermath. Just moments earlier,

:03:38. > :03:40.people had been enjoying food Rhys Meredith, from Cardiff,

:03:41. > :03:51.was visiting the market We heard it knocking down the stalls

:03:52. > :03:56.at an amazing rate of knots. And, you know, there

:03:57. > :03:58.was no skidding wheels, or there was clearly no attempt

:03:59. > :04:01.to try and slow down, despite him veering

:04:02. > :04:13.out of the market. The driver of the lorry

:04:14. > :04:15.then fled on foot, Reports claim he is an asylum seeker

:04:16. > :04:22.from either Afghanistan or Pakistan who had arrived in

:04:23. > :04:25.Germany in February. The vehicle had come from Poland,

:04:26. > :04:29.and police say a Polish citizen was found dead in

:04:30. > :04:30.the passenger seat. The lorry's owner says his driver

:04:31. > :04:37.could not have been responsible. TRANSLATION: The person

:04:38. > :04:39.who was driving and jumped out They did something to him,

:04:40. > :04:50.and hijacked his truck. The scenes are a reminder

:04:51. > :04:59.of the lorry attack on Bastille Day crowds in the French

:05:00. > :05:17.city of Nice in July 2016 proved to be one of the most

:05:18. > :05:20.fateful years especially when it comes to terrorism in Europe. What

:05:21. > :05:26.happened in Germany only over the summer in the south of France as

:05:27. > :05:32.well, like Bastille Day and this Christmas markets, they have a lot

:05:33. > :05:35.of significance. They thought carefully about choosing the right

:05:36. > :05:38.time and place for this kind of atrocity.

:05:39. > :05:40.Authorities say there is no indication of any further threats

:05:41. > :05:44.But the German government has said the evidence so far points to this

:05:45. > :05:56.Leaders from around the world have been reacting to events in Berlin

:05:57. > :05:58.Angela Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert tweeted this.

:05:59. > :06:02."We are in mourning for the dead and hope that the many injured

:06:03. > :06:05.The UK's Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson went on Twitter

:06:06. > :06:08.to say "My thoughts and condolences are with the people of Germany

:06:09. > :06:11.following tonight's terrible tragedy in Berlin."

:06:12. > :06:12.The French President Francois Hollande tweeted this.

:06:23. > :06:25.a number of incidents which took place in Europe and beyond saying

:06:26. > :06:31.the "civilized world must change thinking!"

:06:32. > :06:34.Let's go live to Berlin now where we can speak

:06:35. > :06:48.She is in the city. She has been updating various sources from social

:06:49. > :06:53.media in the last few hours as well. What is the latest? We understand we

:06:54. > :06:58.are to expect to see the lorry taken away very shortly. Yeah. In fact,

:06:59. > :07:05.you can see the scene behind me is moving pretty fast as they are

:07:06. > :07:09.preparing to tow that lorry away. What is eerie is that the lights on

:07:10. > :07:14.the Christmas trees are still twinkling in what remains of the

:07:15. > :07:17.Christmas markets. When you see the lorry close-up you get the sense of

:07:18. > :07:23.the horror that those people must have felt as it careered towards

:07:24. > :07:27.them as they were eating and drinking. There is a sense of shock

:07:28. > :07:32.and horror here this morning. That is compounded by the fact police are

:07:33. > :07:36.describing it now as a suspected terrorist attack. Not only do they

:07:37. > :07:40.feel it was deliberately driven towards the crowd, they now feel it

:07:41. > :07:45.was a terror inspired attack as well. That means this is taking on a

:07:46. > :07:50.political dimension as well. There are unconfirmed reports that the man

:07:51. > :07:59.police are holding as there means suspect was of Pakistani or Afghani

:08:00. > :08:04.heritage. Already this is being seized upon by the anti immigrant

:08:05. > :08:10.party who blame Angela Merkel for what has happened. This will

:08:11. > :08:16.reignite a political debate about the policy and what it has meant for

:08:17. > :08:21.the country. 48 people are in hospital, some seriously injured. 12

:08:22. > :08:24.people are confirmed dead. It may be that the death toll rises through

:08:25. > :08:30.the morning. We have spoken to a number of security analysts this

:08:31. > :08:35.morning. Germany, like many other European countries, are ready on a

:08:36. > :08:38.high state of alert, as we know, and this was expected to happen. There

:08:39. > :08:44.were specific warnings about large gatherings of people around

:08:45. > :08:48.Christmas time. Yeah. Germany has been really very nervous as a

:08:49. > :08:53.country ever since the summer when the first two, what was thought to

:08:54. > :08:58.have been the first two, Islamic State terror attacks happened on

:08:59. > :09:01.German soil. They injured a few people but no one was killed. Since

:09:02. > :09:04.then there has been a feeble atmosphere in the country. There was

:09:05. > :09:08.concern about the safety of the thousands of Christmas market that

:09:09. > :09:12.take place in this country at this time of year. It is very difficult

:09:13. > :09:17.to entirely secure a Christmas market like this. How do you make

:09:18. > :09:22.sure it is entirely secure? Do you check people as they come in? Most

:09:23. > :09:28.markets increased security patrols. And that was it. I think for a long

:09:29. > :09:32.time people have expected something like this to happen. That is of

:09:33. > :09:38.course no comfort to anyone who has lost loved ones here or who were

:09:39. > :09:41.perhaps injured themselves. And the authorities and the government who

:09:42. > :09:45.are still trying to persuade this country they can keep it safe. Thank

:09:46. > :09:48.you for the latest on that, Jenny Hill, the correspondent in Berlin.

:09:49. > :09:54.As she was saying, they are reporting that the driver was

:09:55. > :09:59.probably an Afghani or a Pakistani refugee. That is not confirmed by

:10:00. > :10:03.the police. But there is a strong rumour in Germany at the moment.

:10:04. > :10:06.That is bringing a lot of pressure on Chancellor Merkel and her foreign

:10:07. > :10:11.policy. More on that and anything else we get from Berlin throughout

:10:12. > :10:12.the morning. We will speak to a terrorism expert about that shortly.

:10:13. > :10:13.To other news now. The UN Secretary General,

:10:14. > :10:15.Ban Ki-Moon, has described the killing of the Russian

:10:16. > :10:19.ambassador to Turkey as a "senseless Ambassador Andrei Karlov was shot

:10:20. > :10:22.dead yesterday by a Turkish policeman, apparently in protest

:10:25. > :10:27.was aimed at hurting The Scottish First Minister,

:10:28. > :10:40.Nicola Sturgeon, will today set out plans for how Scotland could stay

:10:44. > :10:46.would be potentially devastating to Scotland's economy,

:10:47. > :10:48.and is expected to propose more powers are devolved

:10:49. > :10:50.to the Holyrood Parliament Earlier this month, the Chancellor,

:10:51. > :10:54.Philip Hammond said a separate Brexit deal for Scotland

:10:55. > :10:59.was "not realistic." Lorna Gordon is in Holyrood this

:11:00. > :11:02.morning. What will happen later this morning? Good morning. There has

:11:03. > :11:07.been a lot of political positioning over the last six months since the

:11:08. > :11:10.UK as a whole voted to leave the EU. But a majority of people in Scotland

:11:11. > :11:14.voted to remain. Today we expect quite a lot of detail, actually,

:11:15. > :11:20.about what Nicola Sturgeon wants to do to protect Scotland's interests

:11:21. > :11:26.going forward. She is calling for a soft Brexit, not a hardline. That

:11:27. > :11:30.means maintaining the single market. Ideally she would like that to

:11:31. > :11:33.happen with the UK as a whole, maintaining that access. If that is

:11:34. > :11:38.not possible, she wants Scotland is to have that access. See things in

:11:39. > :11:43.order for that to happen significant powers need to be devolved to the

:11:44. > :11:46.Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh for things like immigration, employment

:11:47. > :11:51.rights, and if none of that is possible, the option of a second

:11:52. > :11:54.independence referendum. Theresa May, the Prime Minister, said she

:11:55. > :11:58.will look seriously at these proposals and there is a meeting

:12:59. > :13:01.More details are emerging this morning about the lorry that drove

:13:02. > :13:04.into crowds in one of Berlin's Christmas markets last night.

:13:05. > :13:06.We do know that 12 people died in the incident,

:13:07. > :13:09.which police are now calling a suspected terror attack.

:13:10. > :13:12.Almost 50 people are injured in hospital, some of them seriously.

:13:13. > :13:15.In a moment, we'll be speaking to former Counter Terrorism officer

:13:16. > :13:16.Chris Phillips from our London studio.

:13:17. > :13:19.First, we're joined by Rhys Meredith, who was at the market

:13:20. > :13:22.with his girlfriend at the moment of the crash.

:13:23. > :13:27.Thank you very much for your time this morning, Rhys. You were there

:13:28. > :13:31.and quite close to the lorry when it burst into the Christmas market.

:13:32. > :13:37.Describe exactly what happened to us if you can. Yeah. We just not long

:13:38. > :13:43.got to the market, just 10-15 minutes. We had a look around the

:13:44. > :13:52.stalls, soaking up everything in the area that it had to offer. We looked

:13:53. > :14:00.at food and we were originally going to walk around the other stalls. But

:14:01. > :14:09.we decided to sit down and eat instead which may be is incredibly

:14:10. > :14:17.lucky. The area we visited is the area that was hit before we decided

:14:18. > :14:21.to sit down. We heard it crashing through the stalls and going around

:14:22. > :14:27.the corner. Less than ten feet from where we were sat. There is just

:14:28. > :14:32.complete and utter devastation, really. When you first heard and saw

:14:33. > :14:37.this, clearly there were stalls they are. This was a pedestrian area.

:14:38. > :14:39.Everyone should have known straightaway that something was

:14:40. > :14:45.happening that shouldn't have been happening. We genuinely thought it

:14:46. > :14:51.was a small explosion. We were quite shocked. It all happened so fast. We

:14:52. > :14:57.were quite shocked to see a lorry had come all the way through and

:14:58. > :15:09.there was clearly no attempt by the lorry to slow down or stop. There

:15:10. > :15:12.was no sound of breaks going off or tyres or anything like that. We are

:15:13. > :15:16.seeing pictures and we are talking to you as the lorry is being taken

:15:17. > :15:21.away. That was what Jenny Hill was telling us. For more investigation,

:15:22. > :15:25.no doubt. We have been hearing reports this morning of some people

:15:26. > :15:28.running away after seeing and hearing this yesterday. But also

:15:29. > :15:30.some people helping those individuals who had broken limbs as

:15:31. > :15:44.it was going through the crowd. Yes, we stayed around to help as

:15:45. > :15:48.much as we could. My girlfriend was looking after a mail with a pretty

:15:49. > :15:53.severe head injury and I tried helping other people, get stalls of

:15:54. > :16:01.the top of people, some still alive, some sadly not need it, but yes,

:16:02. > :16:16.there was more, sadly, police were on the scene, they were brilliant,

:16:17. > :16:22.there was concern from emergency services about the gas canisters

:16:23. > :16:26.that were underneath. The German police services were brilliant, they

:16:27. > :16:32.were on the scene within minutes doing everything they needed to do.

:16:33. > :16:36.Listening to you this morning, it is clear you are still processing what

:16:37. > :16:40.you have seen and heard. What is the mood amongst people you have spoken

:16:41. > :16:49.to this morning? What is the mood generally? We are still in a state

:16:50. > :16:57.of shock and we can't believe we have been caught up in it. You don't

:16:58. > :17:00.realise the impact when you are in the middle of it rather than

:17:01. > :17:09.watching it on television. There is a genuine state of shock around the

:17:10. > :17:13.city. Don't really know what to expect the atmosphere to be like

:17:14. > :17:17.today, to be honest. And are you stating in Berlin, were you due to

:17:18. > :17:22.come back before Christmas, water your plans now? We are due to fly

:17:23. > :17:28.back tomorrow morning. We are going to stick with that. OK, well, we

:17:29. > :17:37.really it pre- share due talking to us this morning, and as Rhys has

:17:38. > :17:43.spoken, he is in a state of shock. -- really appreciate you talking to

:17:44. > :17:48.us this morning. 12 people, we know, have died and up to 50 have been

:17:49. > :17:54.injured after that, well, now suspected terror attack yesterday.

:17:55. > :17:57.We will speak with Chris Phillips, former counterterrorism officer who

:17:58. > :18:05.specialises in helping protect crowded places. I imagine somewhere

:18:06. > :18:08.like this, a Christmas market, is difficult to protect. What measures

:18:09. > :18:14.would have been in place? It is very difficult to protect. We need to

:18:15. > :18:18.understand that terrorists revisit sites and types and modes of attack.

:18:19. > :18:22.There are things we can learn from history which we can put in place

:18:23. > :18:29.and we have done much of that across the UK with what we call hostile

:18:30. > :18:34.vehicle mitigation and what we saw in early and was similar to what we

:18:35. > :18:39.saw in Nice and we have known for some time that Germany was at a high

:18:40. > :18:45.state of alert, as is France and Belgium. It is a big problem

:18:46. > :18:50.protecting crowded places but there are things to do. You talk about

:18:51. > :18:54.hostile vehicle mitigation, what do you mean? We have many companies in

:18:55. > :19:02.the UK that build absolutely brilliant barriers, blockers, which

:19:03. > :19:08.are across the country and city, and if you look at many other areas of

:19:09. > :19:12.crowded places, they have specific protection with them and it is not

:19:13. > :19:16.always barriers or bollards, sometimes it is bus stops and all

:19:17. > :19:23.sorts of things we have built into the environment to protect us. Tell

:19:24. > :19:26.us about the impact now. We know in Germany they are announcing

:19:27. > :19:31.increased security in places in Germany. Would you expect that to be

:19:32. > :19:35.the same in other cities as well? I think the whole of Europe is on a

:19:36. > :19:40.very high alert. We need to bear in mind as well that we started doing

:19:41. > :19:46.this protective crowded places work 10- 12 years ago. Many of our

:19:47. > :19:51.cities, airports and crowded places are already protected. It is not

:19:52. > :19:55.something you can do pretty quickly. We even have something called the

:19:56. > :19:58.national barrier asset that we put into specific locations if we think

:19:59. > :20:03.there is a threat. It is not building protection against

:20:04. > :20:10.vehicles, it is quite difficult and it is a long-term process. And if

:20:11. > :20:14.what has happened there, it is still unclear how it happened, and how it

:20:15. > :20:18.can to stop, because that is important to tackle it? Yes, and

:20:19. > :20:22.what we try to do, and what physics tells us is if we can slow down the

:20:23. > :20:26.vehicle there is less chance of it penetrating into a crowded place.

:20:27. > :20:30.Everything that you can do to slow down a vehicle will save lives. We

:20:31. > :20:34.also need to bear in mind this could have been so much worse. Thank

:20:35. > :20:38.goodness the vehicle didn't have explosives in it. If it had, we

:20:39. > :20:47.would have seen a much higher death toll. Thank you for joining us. We

:20:48. > :20:51.are late for the weather, but hopefully you understand why, we are

:20:52. > :21:00.trying to cover that Laurie attack were 12 people were killed and

:21:01. > :21:05.dozens injured. -- Laurie attack. It is a quiet start to the day with

:21:06. > :21:12.variable cloud across England and Wales. There is frost and patchy

:21:13. > :21:17.fog. It will turn windy later on. A frosty start. The fog will lift as

:21:18. > :21:24.the wind picks up. Sunshine first thing for Scotland. The same for

:21:25. > :21:29.Northern Ireland. Forced it with patchy fog. For England and Wales it

:21:30. > :21:33.is a cloudy start, it is a dank start, one or two breaks for East

:21:34. > :21:37.Anglia and the south-east at this stage of the morning, they are the

:21:38. > :21:42.exception rather than the rule. Showers for the south coast. West

:21:43. > :21:48.Wales and England we have a weather front producing light and patchy

:21:49. > :21:51.rain through much of the day. For the rest of England it will be

:21:52. > :21:56.bright with sunshine through much of the day in eastern Scotland as well.

:21:57. > :22:00.You can already see the weather front introducing rain. It won't

:22:01. > :22:05.just be rain, it will also introduce strengthening wind. The areas where

:22:06. > :22:11.we will likely see the highest ats is north-west Scotland and the Outer

:22:12. > :22:15.Hebrides, which could have gusts up to 70 mph, the north-west 60 mph,

:22:16. > :22:19.and you can see it is gusty along the Irish Sea. Through the evening

:22:20. > :22:24.and overnight the rain and windy conditions pushed further south. It

:22:25. > :22:28.will weaken all the time. Behind it there will be some squally showers

:22:29. > :22:33.for Northern Ireland in Scotland and by the end of the night we might see

:22:34. > :22:37.snow even possibly at low levels. Possibly effecting the higher level

:22:38. > :22:41.roads in western Scotland too. Tomorrow we are off to that start

:22:42. > :22:46.again with lots of showers packing in on a strong wind mother squally

:22:47. > :22:50.showers will contain thunder, hail, rain and snow, possibly at low

:22:51. > :22:54.levels, above the Central Lowlands and for the Southern uplands and

:22:55. > :22:59.Northern Ireland any snow will likely be in the hills. And a weak

:23:00. > :23:05.front will pep up tomorrow with rain for southern and south-eastern

:23:06. > :23:09.England. Behind it there is sunshine coming through. And then on Thursday

:23:10. > :23:13.the weather front clears to the nick onto it and a weak system will bring

:23:14. > :23:17.rain to Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland. Some of it

:23:18. > :23:21.will be wintry. But it is a mostly dry day with some sunshine on offer.

:23:22. > :23:26.As we head through Thursday into Friday the next Potent area of low

:23:27. > :23:31.pressure comes, introducing rain pushing through swiftly. We are also

:23:32. > :23:35.looking at the risk of gales for the north of the country, which leads us

:23:36. > :23:37.into a wet and windy start to Christmas. Thank you very much, we

:23:38. > :23:41.will see little bit later. As Christmas approaches,

:23:42. > :23:43.police are preparing for a sharp It's the time of year when incidents

:23:44. > :23:47.of abuse traditionally spike. As part of our series

:23:48. > :23:50.on Policing Britain Fiona Trott has been given access to a project

:23:51. > :23:53.in Sunderland where they're working specifically with men

:23:54. > :23:56.who are at risk of becoming The new way of tackling

:23:57. > :24:05.domestic abuse. These men are learning

:24:06. > :24:12.how their absuive behaviour The 26-week course involves

:24:13. > :24:29.the charity Barnardo's. It can get up to 20 referrals

:24:30. > :24:32.a month, and that's Little kicks, little punches,

:24:33. > :24:39.stuff like that, then it was like vice-versa,

:24:40. > :24:42.she was starting to hit me. The course learns you

:24:43. > :24:52.how to take time-out. So even if I am texting,

:24:53. > :25:06.and I can tell the text is getting out of hand, I might take time-out

:25:07. > :25:09.and chill out a little. This project means we can get to men

:25:10. > :25:13.and help them change their behaviour before they get involved

:25:14. > :25:16.with the criminal justice system. We want to stop things

:25:17. > :25:18.escalating to that point, because we know when the police get

:25:19. > :25:21.called it is usually quite serious But there's another element to this

:25:22. > :25:30.early intervention program. The Local Housing Association

:25:31. > :25:32.is also involved. They check that perpetrators

:25:33. > :25:42.are attending the course and they check up on

:25:43. > :25:44.the victims themselves. They might have something

:25:45. > :25:46.like a broken window, broken bathroom door locks,

:25:47. > :25:49.for example, things like that. It could be that we're looking

:25:50. > :25:52.at an antisocial behaviour complaint or a noise

:26:36. > :26:47.in more serious danger. And we will speak to the Police and

:26:48. > :26:49.Crime Commissioner for the area about what has been done to reduce

:26:50. > :26:51.domestic violence. Our series on Policing Britain

:26:52. > :26:54.continues all week. Time now to get the news,

:26:55. > :27:01.travel and weather where you are. This is Breakfast with

:27:02. > :30:31.Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. Police say a lorry driven

:30:32. > :30:33.into a packed Christmas market in Berlin was probably

:30:34. > :30:36.an act of terror. 12 people died and dozens

:30:37. > :30:41.more were injured. A man thought to have been driving

:30:42. > :31:00.the lorry has been arrested. Eyewitnesses say the vehicle

:31:01. > :31:09.ploughed into the busy market square The market is close

:31:10. > :31:12.to the popular tourist site of the Kaiser Wilhelm

:31:13. > :31:14.Memorial Church, Berlin Zoo, and one of the main shopping

:31:15. > :31:17.streets in West Berlin. German police say they're

:31:18. > :31:18.investigating reports that the vehicle was stolen

:31:19. > :31:28.from a building site in Poland, It veered into the market loaded

:31:29. > :31:34.steel beams. The area was packed with tourists and locals. The lorry

:31:35. > :31:42.driver was fleeing on foot and eventually seized. We did a crowded

:31:43. > :31:46.places work ten years ago. Many cities and airports and crowded

:31:47. > :31:53.places are already protected. It is not something you can do quickly. We

:31:54. > :31:57.have even got something we call the National Barrier Asset we put in

:31:58. > :32:02.specific locations if we think there is a threat. It is not building

:32:03. > :32:05.protection against vehicles, it is a long-term process and is quite

:32:06. > :32:09.difficult. The former counterterrorism officer that I

:32:10. > :32:18.spoke to just a little bit earlier. We have also been speaking to an

:32:19. > :32:26.eyewitness Rhys who was there with his girlfriend a few yards away when

:32:27. > :32:30.it happened. We have been watching the pictures all morning from Berlin

:32:31. > :32:35.from where the truck is. They are beginning to at least move the truck

:32:36. > :32:42.away as they are doing investigations. And we have spoken

:32:43. > :32:44.to the Guardian correspondent and will talk to her again soon. To

:32:45. > :32:47.other news now. The UN Secretary General,

:32:48. > :32:49.Ban Ki-Moon, has described the killing of the Russian

:32:50. > :32:52.ambassador to Turkey as a "senseless Ambassador Andrei Karlov was shot

:32:53. > :32:55.dead yesterday by a Turkish policeman, apparently in protest

:32:56. > :33:07.at Russia's involvement in Aleppo. Sarah Rainsford is in Moscow for us

:33:08. > :33:14.this morning. Thank you very much for joining us. What has the

:33:15. > :33:19.reaction been from Moscow on this? First of all, deep shock that this

:33:20. > :33:23.has happened. People saw the images on TV and saw the pictures in their

:33:24. > :33:27.papers and they are horrified that this is something that was able to

:33:28. > :33:32.take place. There are many questions about how that happened and why. The

:33:33. > :33:36.reaction, though, has been very strong. President Putin and

:33:37. > :33:41.President Erdogan spoke immediately after the attack by telephone which

:33:42. > :33:44.has been crucial. There was a lot of concern that this risked escalating

:33:45. > :33:49.relations between the two countries on a diplomatic front and

:33:50. > :33:53.potentially militarily. Already the relations were tense. But both

:33:54. > :33:58.presidents moved quickly to call what had happened an act of

:33:59. > :34:07.provocation and to point the finger outside of their own countries to

:34:08. > :34:10.some kind of what in the West that there is some sort of force trying

:34:11. > :34:14.to pull them apart. Recently they have been trying to work together to

:34:15. > :34:18.some kind of resolution and settlement in the Syrian conflict.

:34:19. > :34:23.In fact, the Turkish Foreign Minister and Defence Minister are in

:34:24. > :34:27.Moscow today to discuss what is happening in Syria. President Putin

:34:28. > :34:31.said it was a provocation aimed at destroying that process and he said

:34:32. > :34:35.he would act very forcibly. He said the fight against terror will be

:34:36. > :34:40.strengthened and that the bandits will feel that themselves. So a

:34:41. > :34:45.strong response from Russia and a message going out that Russia and

:34:46. > :34:50.Turkey will remain allied in what they are trying to achieve in Syria.

:34:51. > :34:52.Thank you, Sarah Rainsford, who is in Moscow for us this morning.

:34:53. > :34:54.Surgeons have described a new treatment for early stage

:34:55. > :34:55.prostate cancer as "truly transformative."

:34:56. > :34:59.The approach, which uses lasers and a drug made from deep sea

:35:59. > :36:01.to recover the money, and has encouraged them to ask

:36:02. > :36:11.to see passports before giving treatment.

:36:12. > :36:19.That is the end of the news but I just cannot stop thinking about that

:36:20. > :36:24.deep sea bacteria. How would you ever think that would work?

:36:25. > :36:31.Obviously they are clever. It is trial and error. And this has been

:36:32. > :36:37.something so devastating, cancer. Sally, the news. I would like to

:36:38. > :36:44.explain it but I am not going to try. England have been surviving so

:36:45. > :36:48.far in India. I am not sure Alastair Cook is feeling that happy. Not much

:36:49. > :36:50.has gone right. Not much has gone right. He does not look like a happy

:36:51. > :36:53.captain. Good morning. England's cricketers are trying

:40:34. > :40:35.and injuring dozens more, in what officials suspect

:40:36. > :40:37.was a deliberate attack. Tourists have been describing the

:40:38. > :40:39.carnage. The vehicle, a large articulated

:40:40. > :40:41.lorry, crashed into the market which is situated in one

:40:42. > :40:44.of the city's busiest shopping It was the busiest time of the

:40:45. > :40:50.night. 12 killed and 48 injured. Kate Connolly is the Guardian's

:40:51. > :40:58.Berlin correspondent, Good morning. Thank you for joining

:40:59. > :41:02.us. Tell us, what did you see and where were you last night when this

:41:03. > :41:07.happened? Good morning. I was there later on after the incident. It was

:41:08. > :41:15.a scene of carnage. This morning it is not much better. Lots of bottles

:41:16. > :41:19.strewn around and Christmas stalls collapsed where a juggernaut had

:41:20. > :41:27.ploughed through the market and shouted their wooden frames and

:41:28. > :41:35.there were splinters everywhere. -- shattered. A Christmas tree, a huge

:41:36. > :41:42.Christmas tree, flattened and lying in the path of the Christmas market.

:41:43. > :41:46.And people gathered there this morning, police are urging them not

:41:47. > :41:50.to take pictures of the scene out of respect. But at the same time they

:41:51. > :41:55.have launched a website where they are asking people to upload film and

:41:56. > :41:58.footage and anything people have that it took last night that may

:41:59. > :42:05.help them put together the events that led up to and happened during

:42:06. > :42:09.the attack last night. This was a busy time at the market, wasn't it?

:42:10. > :42:16.There must have been some security in place, but not much? There were

:42:17. > :42:21.some plainclothed security around. But this is a typical market. A very

:42:22. > :42:26.open market. It is something where you go off the main shopping street

:42:27. > :42:31.into this market around this church. There is no checking of people's

:42:32. > :42:35.baggage when you go in. Some of the markets are sealed off and you paid

:42:36. > :42:42.an entrance fee to get in and that is supposed to increased security.

:42:43. > :42:45.This is typical of most of the 2500 Christmas market is happening this

:42:46. > :42:51.morning. Police said it would be impossible to control everything.

:42:52. > :42:57.How could they have possibly been able to monitor this juggernaut that

:42:58. > :43:01.made its way there? We understand it came from Italy, came up through

:43:02. > :43:06.Berlin, and the suspicion at this stage is that the Polish driver of

:43:07. > :43:10.the vehicle was hijacked and he was very possibly in the cabin at the

:43:11. > :43:15.time helping the alleged attacker to steer it into the market. And the

:43:16. > :43:24.juggernaut is still there this morning. It is still in front of the

:43:25. > :43:28.church, the church where we are expecting a vigil to take place

:43:29. > :43:32.later on today. We have just been watching over the last half an hour,

:43:33. > :43:38.Kate, and they are beginning to move the lorry. What can you tell us?

:43:39. > :43:46.There are various reports that the driver was a Pakistani or Afghani

:43:47. > :43:51.asylum seeker. The main news outlets here are quoting that and are

:43:52. > :43:57.quoting security sources saying that some believe he entered through

:43:58. > :44:05.Bavaria, a typical entry point, earlier this year, and took the

:44:06. > :44:09.Vulcan route into Germany. -- Balkan. They say he was apparently

:44:10. > :44:16.living under various identities and was known for small things like

:44:17. > :44:20.pickpocketing, we understand. But this is pure speculation at this

:44:21. > :44:26.stage. We are expecting those reports to be firmed up through the

:44:27. > :44:27.day. Kate, thank you. Interesting details.

:44:28. > :44:30.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:44:31. > :44:33.The main stories this morning: At least 12 people have died

:44:34. > :44:36.and dozens more have been injured after a lorry drove into a busy

:44:40. > :44:42.The German authorities are questioning a man thought to be

:44:43. > :44:57.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:44:58. > :45:05.Yesterday you were talking about a feisty jetstream. What have you got

:45:06. > :45:10.today? Through the week it will be quite feisty at times. Not all the

:45:11. > :45:15.time. We will have quiet interludes. This morning we have a relatively

:45:16. > :45:19.quiet start. There is quite a lot of cloud for England and will. For

:45:20. > :45:25.Scotland and Northern Ireland it is cold, frosty with patchy fog --

:45:26. > :45:29.England and Wales. It will brighten up nicely. This weak weather front

:45:30. > :45:32.will be with us producing dank conditions and another one coming in

:45:33. > :45:38.with heavy rain and strengthening wind through the course of the

:45:39. > :45:43.afternoon. The strongest winds will be in north-west Scotland and the

:45:44. > :45:47.Outer Hebrides. We are looking here at gusts possibly 60 mph in the

:45:48. > :45:52.north-west, 70 in the Outer Hebrides, and generally it will be

:45:53. > :45:56.gusty through the Irish Sea and areas adjacent to it. Move away from

:45:57. > :46:04.that and we are into quiet conditions. The wind will pick up

:46:05. > :46:07.and we hang on to this cloud and dank conditions but for other areas

:46:08. > :46:11.we see sunshine through the afternoon. These are the wind speeds

:46:12. > :46:17.you can expect across the north-west. If you are travelling in

:46:18. > :46:22.a high sided vehicle, light vehicle, maybe a bike, to bear it in mind.

:46:23. > :46:26.Through the evening and overnight, the weather front will weaken. It

:46:27. > :46:30.will be windy but not as windy as it will be later in Scotland and

:46:31. > :46:33.Northern Ireland and then we have squally showers following in to

:46:34. > :46:37.Scotland and Northern Ireland. In Scotland by the end of the night

:46:38. > :46:40.some could be bringing some snow, possibly even to low levels, which

:46:41. > :46:45.might affect higher level roads across western Scotland. We start

:46:46. > :46:49.tomorrow with all the squally showers and once again we have an

:46:50. > :46:58.extra of hail, heavy rain, thunder and lightning. In the southern

:46:59. > :47:02.uplands and Northern Ireland any snow is likely to be in the hills.

:47:03. > :47:05.Meanwhile the rain in the south will pep up tomorrow and so we have a

:47:06. > :47:08.period of heavy rainfall southern and south-eastern counties. In

:47:09. > :47:13.between there will be some sunshine. In between the showers there will be

:47:14. > :47:17.some sunshine. Then as we move Wednesday into Thursday we go into a

:47:18. > :47:22.quieter period. There goes the rain. Things settle down. We see sunshine

:47:23. > :47:26.coming through. One or two showers into Northern Ireland and parts of

:47:27. > :47:32.Scotland. Most of us will miss them. Then as we had on from Thursday into

:47:33. > :47:36.Friday it livens up once again, as Dan said, with a strong jetstream

:47:37. > :47:41.and we have a potent area of low pressure developing on it. It will

:47:42. > :47:44.introduce heavy rain. That rain will push through quickly and we are

:47:45. > :47:48.looking at gales again for the northern half of the country. We are

:47:49. > :47:52.not finished yet. Towards Christmas, there are further spells of rain and

:47:53. > :47:56.strong winds. The strongest winds always in the north. We have been

:47:57. > :47:59.warned. Thank you. See you later. How much we worry about crime

:48:00. > :48:03.in our neighbourhoods may not bear much resemblance to the amount

:48:04. > :48:05.of criminal activity that's That's according to police,

:48:06. > :48:08.who say younger people - who are statistically more likely

:48:09. > :48:11.to be victims of crime - often don't take the risks

:48:12. > :48:14.seriously, whereas older people aren't targeted as much

:48:15. > :48:16.as they may think. As part of our Policing Britain

:48:17. > :48:19.series, Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been to Nottingham to find out

:48:20. > :48:22.why our perceptions of crime don't It doesn't look or feel

:48:23. > :48:36.like a hotbed of crime, Of the 20 wards in Nottingham,

:48:37. > :48:48.Clifton came 17th in terms of overall actual reported crime,

:48:49. > :48:50.with just 70 incidents reported And yet almost 40% of people

:48:51. > :48:56.here in Clifton think crime is a big The fear of crime is

:48:57. > :49:00.the second-highest here We've got a link with

:49:01. > :49:11.the Clifton police. Pat Rice is chair of

:49:12. > :49:13.the Clifton Residents Association. Their Facebook page is a way to keep

:49:14. > :49:17.in touch about every incident. One reason perhaps why

:49:18. > :49:20.the perception of crime and reality We used to get regular updates

:49:21. > :49:26.from the police of the crime figures But with the police having to have

:49:27. > :49:35.cutbacks, we no longer get them, so that may sort of skew

:49:36. > :49:40.people's perceptions. Part of it I think is just

:49:41. > :49:43.the amount of media that people Mike Barton is the Chief Constable

:49:44. > :49:50.to Durham and the UK police Media reporting on crime just

:49:51. > :49:55.one reason, he says. I think the other thing is we have

:49:56. > :50:00.become better at making sure that One of the ways we can galvanise

:50:01. > :50:07.the public is to make sure they know that there is a risk out

:50:08. > :50:10.there and they can do So we might even be partly to blame

:50:11. > :50:14.in the rising fear of crime. Will he come and rescue the lorry

:50:15. > :50:20.which has broken down? Thieves took a computer

:50:21. > :50:26.and emptied the safe. Why would somebody do

:50:27. > :50:28.that to a nursery? I mean, what were they

:50:29. > :50:31.expecting to find? I have had my house broken

:50:32. > :50:35.into in this area twice But the truth is overall crime has

:50:36. > :50:46.been falling and it has fallen The police are investigating this

:50:47. > :50:59.glory but Richard MacRae thinks Not fully investigating crime does

:51:00. > :51:11.add to a sense of unease. Nonetheless, police say we over

:51:12. > :51:14.worry about some crimes and don't worry enough about where much chrome

:51:15. > :51:17.is now happening online. People still locked the doors

:51:18. > :51:20.but they virtually leave their computer open

:51:21. > :51:22.for anybody to attack. As night falls, police

:51:23. > :51:31.are out on the town. Young drunk people statistically

:51:32. > :51:34.most likely to be victims of crime and surveys show the least likely

:51:35. > :51:37.to be afraid of crime. Perception and reality once again

:51:38. > :51:57.at odds with each other. The series continues tomorrow and

:51:58. > :52:03.Steph will be live with Durham police, but today she has a slightly

:52:04. > :52:09.different job. Today she is drinking gin. There is a proper news reason

:52:10. > :52:17.why. You had better explain. Good morning. I haven't sampled anything

:52:18. > :52:22.yet, don't worry. And I say yet. Let me explain. This is fascinating,

:52:23. > :52:28.this is one of the oldest distilleries in the UK, this is

:52:29. > :52:32.Greenalls, they are making gin. This is a company that makes a quarter of

:52:33. > :52:39.a million bottles of spirits every single day. There are loads of

:52:40. > :52:44.products going out of this building. Lots of different brands. Some of

:52:45. > :52:48.them you will recognise as well. You will see them at supermarket and

:52:49. > :52:53.off-licence shelves. We are here to talk about gin. It is a big seller.

:52:54. > :52:58.They have lots of different brands. The reason why is because sales have

:52:59. > :53:02.gone up 10% in the last year. Mark is one of the bosses. Explain a bit

:53:03. > :53:18.about what is going on in this factory. We are quite unique in that

:53:19. > :53:25.we can control the process. We work from their, we produce about 44

:53:26. > :53:29.million litres of June per year. We are mainly into bottling and also

:53:30. > :53:36.RTS and we even sell some gin to other owners. It is a full job. And

:53:37. > :53:39.you export a lot as well? Yes, exports has expanded extremely

:53:40. > :53:46.quickly over the last 12 months with something like 60% up. How have you

:53:47. > :53:53.seen their business change? With Ferdinand, you have to do more? We

:53:54. > :54:00.are a lot busier. -- with Vita Anand -- with Ferdinand. We are really

:54:01. > :54:06.caching it out. We will let you get back to it. Thank you. And another

:54:07. > :54:09.expert I would like you to meet. First of all, we have decided to do

:54:10. > :54:16.something magical with the bottles to try to show you exactly the sales

:54:17. > :54:21.gin is having at the moment, because it has reached, if you follow me,

:54:22. > :54:25.the ?1 billion mark of sales for the first time, so we thought we'd

:54:26. > :54:32.recreate that with some bottles. Have a look at these. And I will

:54:33. > :54:36.bring in another guest. We have Kate, a drinks specialist, who has

:54:37. > :54:41.her own business, and you probably recognise her. She presents some

:54:42. > :54:47.shows for the BBC also. Why is gin so popular? It has a great story, it

:54:48. > :54:52.is very innovative, people are making really interesting flavours.

:54:53. > :54:56.And I think it has captured peoples imagination. You have been in the

:54:57. > :55:01.drinks industry for a long time. How have you seen it change in the way

:55:02. > :55:06.people are buying alcohol? I think gin is interesting because I opened

:55:07. > :55:11.my business 13 years ago and we stock about two or three gins, and

:55:12. > :55:18.now in 10 stores we stalking almost 60. It is amazing. People will spend

:55:19. > :55:23.money on them. So, for things made on their doorstop, we are dealing

:55:24. > :55:28.with distilleries just up the road, they have husband and wife teams,

:55:29. > :55:32.they are small, high quality products, Artisan producers and

:55:33. > :55:37.people love it. So it is less about price when it comes to alcohol? It

:55:38. > :55:41.is interesting with gin. I always find when people try something it is

:55:42. > :55:46.about removing the fear factor. If people have tried, and they know

:55:47. > :55:50.they will like it. They are more willing to spend more money. If you

:55:51. > :55:54.are not sure, if you are spending money on something you don't know

:55:55. > :55:58.what it will taste like, that is when it is difficult. I think it is

:55:59. > :56:01.all about getting people to try. We offer loads of samples. People can

:56:02. > :56:07.try things and be confident they will enjoy the product. Sandals, I

:56:08. > :56:11.like the sound of that. Thank you. I will leave you with a shot of the

:56:12. > :56:15.factory. It is fascinating. To think, a quarter of a million

:56:16. > :56:20.bottles come off these lines every day, it is dagger in. It is, and

:56:21. > :56:28.also the artistry in your ?1 billion as well. That is graphic of the

:56:29. > :56:33.year. Who did that? Thank you! Yes, it was my lovely producer, Simon.

:56:34. > :56:42.You can have a look at Simon. Give us a wave. Oh, it isn't often we see

:56:43. > :56:47.him on the telly. Keep your hands off that, Simon. There is a song in

:56:48. > :56:49.there. It is nice to see him on the telly. All of the hard work which

:56:50. > :56:58.goes on behind-the-scenes. We have the Strictly champion Ore

:56:59. > :00:53.coming up. And the glitter ball. Exciting.

:03:21. > :03:21.market in Berlin. Police say it's

:03:22. > :03:23.a suspected terror attack. A man, thought to be

:03:24. > :03:25.the driver, has been arrested. It happened at around 8:15pm

:03:26. > :03:28.local time last night, when the Christmas market

:03:29. > :03:31.was packed with people. Eyewitnesses say the vehicle

:03:32. > :03:34.ploughed into the busy market square The market is close to the popular

:03:35. > :03:39.tourist site of the Kaiser Wilhelm memorial church, Berlin Zoo and one

:03:40. > :03:45.of the city's main shopping streets. German police say they're

:03:46. > :03:47.investigating reports that the vehicle was stolen

:05:07. > :05:17.respect, they say. The driver of the lorry then fled

:05:18. > :05:19.on foot, but was captured Reports claim he is an asylum seeker

:05:20. > :05:23.from either Afghanistan or Pakistan who had arrived

:05:24. > :05:25.in Germany in February. The vehicle had come from Poland,

:05:26. > :05:28.and police say a Polish citizen was found dead

:05:29. > :05:30.in the passenger seat. The lorry's owner says his driver

:05:31. > :05:32.could not have been responsible. TRANSLATION: The person

:05:33. > :05:35.who was driving and jumped out They did something to him,

:05:36. > :05:44.and hijacked his truck. The scenes are a reminder

:05:45. > :05:53.of the lorry attack on Bastille Day crowds in the French city of Nice

:05:54. > :05:57.in July, when 86 people were killed. 2016 has proved to be one

:05:58. > :06:00.of the most fateful years, especially when it comes

:06:01. > :06:07.to terrorism in Europe. Authorities say there

:06:08. > :06:09.is no indication of any But the German government has said

:06:10. > :06:13.the evidence so far points to this Earlier in the programme, we spoke

:06:14. > :06:28.to our Berlin Correspondent, The scene is starting to move fast

:06:29. > :06:33.as investigators prepare to toe the lorry away. What is eerie is that to

:06:34. > :06:37.my right the lights are still twinkling in the Christmas trees and

:06:38. > :06:42.what remains of the Christmas market. Look at the scene. When you

:06:43. > :06:45.see the lorry close-up, you get a sense of the horror of those people

:06:46. > :06:50.must have felt as it came careering towards them as they stood eating

:06:51. > :06:54.and renting and shopping. There is a sense of horror this morning, that

:06:55. > :06:58.is compounded by the fact that the police are describing this as a

:06:59. > :07:02.suspected terror attack. Not only do they believe it was to liberally

:07:03. > :07:09.driven into the crowds, they believe it is possible it was a terror

:07:10. > :07:11.inspired attack. That means it has taken on a political guy mentioned,

:07:12. > :07:18.because there are unconfirmed reports that the man the police are

:07:19. > :07:21.holding up the main suspect was of Pakistani or Afghan National T and

:07:22. > :07:25.may have entered Germany in February as an asylum seeker. This has been

:07:26. > :07:32.seized upon by the anti-immigrant political party, who blame Angela

:07:33. > :07:36.Merkel for what has happened. This is going to reignite a political

:07:37. > :07:42.debate about her refugee policy and what that has meant for the country.

:07:43. > :07:45.In the meantime 48 people are in hospital still, some of them

:07:46. > :07:49.seriously injured, 12 people are confirmed dead, as it may be the

:07:50. > :07:53.death toll rises further through the morning. Germany has been nervous as

:07:54. > :08:01.a country ever since the summer, when the first to Islamic State

:08:02. > :08:06.inspired terror attack happened on German soil, the body was killed.

:08:07. > :08:11.Since then there has been a pupil atmosphere. There has been a debate

:08:12. > :08:16.about the safety of the Christmas markets that take place at this time

:08:17. > :08:20.of year. It is difficult to entirely secure a Christmas market like this,

:08:21. > :08:30.how do you make sure that it is entirely secure? Did you bent it

:08:31. > :08:32.off, check people? Most markets just increased security patrols. Many

:08:33. > :08:37.people have expected something like this to happen on German soil. That

:08:38. > :08:43.is no comfort to those who have lost loved ones here, who perhaps were

:08:44. > :08:45.injured themselves, and to the authorities, and the Government, who

:08:46. > :08:50.are still trying to persuade this country they can keep it safe.

:08:51. > :08:58.We started to get reports that special forces have stormed a hangar

:08:59. > :09:06.at Merlin's airport, which is being used as a refugee shelter.

:09:07. > :09:13.They stormed hangar after the attack. If we get any more, we will

:09:14. > :09:15.let you know, but we are just getting those reports.

:09:16. > :09:17.And in just a moment, we'll be getting more reaction

:09:18. > :09:19.to developments in Berlin with a security

:09:20. > :09:29.Ban Ki-Moon has described the killing of the Russian ambassador to

:09:30. > :09:33.Turkey as a senseless act of terror. He was shot dead yesterday by

:09:34. > :09:38.Turkish policemen, apparently in protest at Russia's involvement in

:09:39. > :09:42.Syria's Civil War. The Turkish president said the attack was aimed

:09:43. > :09:46.at hurting ties with Russia. Surgeons have described a new

:09:47. > :09:49.treatment for early-stage prostate cancer is truly transformative. It

:09:50. > :09:54.uses lasers and a drug made from deep sea bacteria and can eliminate

:09:55. > :09:59.chimneys without causing the severe side effects that commonly occur

:10:00. > :10:03.with surgery will stop half of patients treated in a trial went

:10:04. > :10:08.into complete remission. Amazing.

:10:09. > :10:12.It is my favourite story of the day, how would you begin to put them

:10:13. > :10:16.together? I have some detail, I might save it

:10:17. > :10:21.for later, it is amazing how the laser works with the tumour. I will

:10:22. > :10:26.explain as best I can! Nicola Sturgeon will set out plans

:10:27. > :10:33.for how Scotland could stay in the European single market after Brexit.

:10:34. > :10:37.She said leaving could be devastating to the Scottish economy.

:10:38. > :10:45.What are we expected to hear, and how might this work? Nicola Sturgeon

:10:46. > :10:49.has said a lot over the last six months, she will do all she can to

:10:50. > :10:53.protect is what she sees as Scotland's interests as this process

:10:54. > :10:58.moves forward. That means maintaining access to the single

:10:59. > :11:01.market and possibly significant further devolution of powers to the

:11:02. > :11:11.Scottish parliament. We expect more flesh on the bones of that idea this

:11:12. > :11:16.morning. She would like the UK to remain with access to that huge

:11:17. > :11:20.trading block. If that is not possible, she would like Scotland to

:11:21. > :11:25.maintain access. She thinks there needs to be further significant

:11:26. > :11:31.devolution of powers to Holyrood in areas like immigration, employment

:11:32. > :11:35.and business regulation. If that is not possible, she wants the option

:11:36. > :11:39.of a second independence referendum. Theresa May says she will look very

:11:40. > :11:44.carefully at the proposals. Figures from more than 100 hospital

:11:45. > :11:48.trusts in England show that overseas patients not entitled to free health

:11:49. > :11:53.care in the NHS with a bill of ?30 million last year. The debt appears

:11:54. > :11:57.to have increased sharply over the previous 12 months. The Government

:11:58. > :12:00.has reminded hospitals of their duty to recover the money and has

:12:01. > :12:05.encouraged them to ask to see passports before giving treatment.

:12:06. > :12:11.Carroll will have the weather in five minutes.

:12:12. > :12:17.Let's return to the Christmas markets in Berlin. 12 people were

:12:18. > :12:21.killed with a long careering into a busy square. The police say it is a

:12:22. > :12:26.suspected terror attack. Nearly 50 people have been injured,

:12:27. > :12:31.and authorities are questioning a man a believe could be a driver.

:12:32. > :12:39.Officials have begun touring the lorry away from the scene. A British

:12:40. > :12:42.tourist was just feet away when the lorry went into the crowds, they

:12:43. > :12:49.told us about the moment immediately afterwards.

:12:50. > :12:56.We stayed around to help as much as we could. My Government was looking

:12:57. > :13:02.after a man with a severe head injury, I tried helping get stalls

:13:03. > :13:12.of the top of people, some were still alive, some did not make it.

:13:13. > :13:26.The police were brilliant. Most of the stalls were cooking stalls.

:13:27. > :13:32.There was a concern about the gas canisters that were underneath. The

:13:33. > :13:36.German emergency services were efficient, brilliant, on the scene

:13:37. > :13:41.within minutes. Doing everything they needed to do.

:13:42. > :13:44.Joining us in the studio this morning is Dr Afshin Shahi,

:13:45. > :13:46.a senior lecturer in Middle East politics from the

:13:47. > :13:56.Part of the lorry are being taken away, the investigation is under

:13:57. > :14:02.way. The authorities said they suspect this was a terror attack,

:14:03. > :14:07.what do you make of it? In the first few hours the authorities were a bit

:14:08. > :14:14.reluctant to treat the incident as a terror act. But after four or five

:14:15. > :14:21.hours it became almost impossible to associate it to simply an accident.

:14:22. > :14:26.Every evident available suggested that the attack was deliberate. In a

:14:27. > :14:32.matter of minutes after the atrocity various cyber platforms which are

:14:33. > :14:37.affiliated to Islamic State started to celebrate the atrocity in Berlin

:14:38. > :14:43.and Islamic State claimed responsible of the. It became very

:14:44. > :14:50.clear in a couple of hours that this atrocity was connected to the

:14:51. > :14:54.Islamic State. Like many European cities, Berlin has been on high

:14:55. > :14:59.alert, looking for something like this that might happen. There were

:15:00. > :15:06.attacks in Munich in July. 2016 proved to be a very, very dramatic

:15:07. > :15:09.year for European security. We should not treat what happened last

:15:10. > :15:16.night in Berlin as an isolated incident. If you look at various

:15:17. > :15:23.capitals around Europe, the security has been already very, very tight.

:15:24. > :15:26.Just before coming to the studio I read that various important capitals

:15:27. > :15:31.around the confident are going to raise the security and probably the

:15:32. > :15:36.same thing will take place in the UK as well.

:15:37. > :15:43.Yesterday as well saw the killing of the Russian ambassador in Turkey. Is

:15:44. > :15:48.this all connected? What would you make of it? It is very difficult to

:15:49. > :15:52.associate with what happened in Ankara to what happened last night

:15:53. > :15:56.in Berlin, but we cannot deny is that what is happening right now in

:15:57. > :16:01.the Middle East, what is happening in Syria, without any doubt has some

:16:02. > :16:06.serious influence and serious impact on what's happening here. Syrian

:16:07. > :16:16.civil war has proved to be a globalised conflict. What is

:16:17. > :16:21.happening in Syria definitely has some implications for us. The gunman

:16:22. > :16:24.yesterday second after shooting down the Russian ambassador said this is

:16:25. > :16:30.the revenge for Aleppo. And obviously what happened last night,

:16:31. > :16:33.was claimed by the Islamic State which is obviously still relatively

:16:34. > :16:38.strong both in Syria and Iraq. You mentioned about how this will impact

:16:39. > :16:41.on us here in the UK. I mean, our security forces are constantly

:16:42. > :16:46.looking at things like this and where they might happen and trying

:16:47. > :16:50.to prevent them, but will there be extra special measures in the coming

:16:51. > :16:55.days and weeks? Over the last few weeks a number of security officials

:16:56. > :16:58.in the UK have been warning us about a possible attack and this has been

:16:59. > :17:03.the case over the last few years, but we have to be very careful

:17:04. > :17:09.because statistically Britain and Europe is safer today than the

:17:10. > :17:12.1970s. Despite the fact that you have to be very vigilant about

:17:13. > :17:17.security and terrorism today, but we should not allow it to overshadow

:17:18. > :17:19.every facet of our lives. Thank you for your time here on

:17:20. > :17:26.Breakfast. It's 8.17am and you're watching

:17:27. > :17:28.Breakfast from BBC News. Here's Carol with a look

:17:29. > :17:37.at this morning's weather. Today, it is a calm start, but it is

:17:38. > :17:41.going to become much windier particularly across the north-west

:17:42. > :17:43.later on. It is a cold start across Northern Ireland and Scotland where

:17:44. > :17:47.we've got frost around. For England and Wales, it is a cloudy start with

:17:48. > :17:52.some patchy rain in the west, but the cloud will break and we will see

:17:53. > :17:55.some sunshine. But as the next band of rain arrives across Northern

:17:56. > :17:59.Ireland and western and Northern Scotland, it will be accompanied by

:18:00. > :18:03.gusty winds. Now through the afternoon that will certainly be the

:18:04. > :18:07.scenario, some heavy rain here, but the strongest winds will be in the

:18:08. > :18:12.north-west and the Outer Hebrides. As we push over to the east t should

:18:13. > :18:16.stay largely dry. Heavy rain moving in across Northern Ireland. Still

:18:17. > :18:19.this morning's rain on and off across western parts of England and

:18:20. > :18:24.Wales. Some of that getting in across done fees and Galloway, as we

:18:25. > :18:27.push further east the sun will come out and it will be a pleasant, but a

:18:28. > :18:33.chilly afternoon. Lets look at the wind gusts. Across the north-west,

:18:34. > :18:37.we could have gusts up to 60mph across the Outer Hebrides, up to

:18:38. > :18:41.70mph. The whole band of wet and windy weather is sinking southwards.

:18:42. > :18:44.As we go through the rest of the afternoon, evening and overnight,

:18:45. > :18:48.but it will weaken as it does so. Behind it, a drier slot. And then

:18:49. > :18:55.squally showers come in, squally means a lot of wind around some

:18:56. > :18:59.heavy showers and we will see by the end of the night some snow possibly

:19:00. > :19:02.affecting some of the higher routes across Western Scotland. Tomorrow

:19:03. > :19:07.then, this band of rain in the south PEPs up. So we will have a band of

:19:08. > :19:09.heavier rain moving across southern and south-eastern counties and we

:19:10. > :19:13.continue with this squally showers across Northern Ireland and

:19:14. > :19:17.Scotland. Now, north of the Central Lowlands again, we could see snow at

:19:18. > :19:20.lower levels, but across the southern uplands and Northern

:19:21. > :19:23.Ireland, any snow is more likely to be on the hills and in this mix,

:19:24. > :19:27.there will be some hail and some thunder. But in between, there will

:19:28. > :19:30.be sunshine as there will be following on behind the rain band

:19:31. > :19:34.heading down towards the south and the east. For Thursday, that clears

:19:35. > :19:39.off on to the near Continent. Again, we're back into a quieter regime

:19:40. > :19:42.weather wise. There will be some sunshine to boot, but we will have a

:19:43. > :19:46.few showers pepping up across parts of Northern Ireland, Scotland and at

:19:47. > :19:51.times Northern England. Some of those will still be quite wintry

:19:52. > :19:54.across the west. As we head on from Thursday and into Friday, our next

:19:55. > :19:59.potent area of low pressure comes our way. Coming in from the

:20:00. > :20:03.Atlantic. Introducing heavy rain which will move through smartly

:20:04. > :20:07.because the wind will be strong, but the strongest winds will be where

:20:08. > :20:10.you see the tight squeeze on the isobars across the northern half of

:20:11. > :20:14.the country. If think that's it, you maybe wrong. In the run-up to

:20:15. > :20:17.Christmas we are looking at further spells of wind and rain. The

:20:18. > :20:19.strongest winds always in the northern half of the UK, Dan and

:20:20. > :20:22.Lou. As Christmas approaches,

:20:23. > :20:30.police are preparing for a sharp rise in domestic violence -

:20:31. > :20:33.it's the time of year when incidents As part of our in depth look

:20:34. > :20:40.at Policing Britain this week, Fiona Trott has been to Sunderland

:20:41. > :20:42.where they're trying to stop the violence before it

:20:43. > :20:44.becomes a criminal matter. The new way of tackling

:20:45. > :20:48.domestic abuse. These men are learning

:20:49. > :20:54.how their absuive behaviour The 26-week course involves

:20:55. > :21:01.the charity Barnardo's. It can get up to 20 referrals

:21:02. > :21:22.a month, and that's We know when the police get called,

:21:23. > :21:27.it is usually quite serious injuries and incidents.

:21:28. > :21:32.But there is another element to this early intervention programme. The

:21:33. > :21:37.local housing association is also involved. Hello there. How are you?

:21:38. > :21:41.They check the perpetrators are taineding the course and they check

:21:42. > :21:45.up on the victims themselves. You might have something like a broken

:21:46. > :21:49.window, broken bathroom door locks for example, things like that. It

:21:50. > :21:53.could be that we're looking at an anti-social behaviour complaint. We

:21:54. > :21:57.could get a call about noise nuisance. Is it noise nuisance or

:21:58. > :22:02.domestic abuse. He was kicking my door in, in the middle of the night.

:22:03. > :22:06.My windows were going out... This woman was so afraid of her

:22:07. > :22:10.ex-partner, she carried a knife. Her words are spoken by somebody else.

:22:11. > :22:15.It finally come to the day where he assaulted us and put us in hospital.

:22:16. > :22:19.He got 16 months in jail. I was so pleased and I know it sounds crazy,

:22:20. > :22:24.you know, I was lying in a hospital bed covered in blood, but I was so

:22:25. > :22:29.happy he had done it because to me, I was free. In every community,

:22:30. > :22:34.there is a woman like her. Her in Sunderland, charities hope that by

:22:35. > :22:37.working with the local housing association, abusive relationships

:22:38. > :22:44.can stop before women are put in more serious danger.

:22:45. > :22:47.She's Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria Police.

:22:48. > :22:53.Good morning. Thank you very much for joining us. Very interesting

:22:54. > :22:56.hearing about this scheme. Can you even measure if it is making a

:22:57. > :23:01.difference? It is still quite early days. It has been going for over a

:23:02. > :23:05.year and its primary purpose, of course, although the focus is on the

:23:06. > :23:10.perpetrator is to stop offending and to keep the victim safe and it is to

:23:11. > :23:15.do so without her having the need to report. Women, because this is about

:23:16. > :23:21.men on women in this case, and for this purpose. Women are demeaned.

:23:22. > :23:25.Oppressed. Quite unable to complain and it is about other agencies

:23:26. > :23:31.finding out what's going on and protecting her and intervening by

:23:32. > :23:36.tackling him. So it is quite an advanced way forward. The early and

:23:37. > :23:40.it still is, I have to say, after only a year, but the early

:23:41. > :23:48.indications are that incidents reduce by about 60% on average when

:23:49. > :23:52.people have been on the programmes that your correspondent have

:23:53. > :23:58.described. These are proper respect, they are programmes accredited by

:23:59. > :24:04.the charity Respect which have a history of doing well to help men

:24:05. > :24:08.get over this behaviour. The point is to stop offending and to keep

:24:09. > :24:11.victims safe and we think that it is very successful in that way. And

:24:12. > :24:16.this particular programme, as you say, it is talking about men, but I

:24:17. > :24:25.mean, because obviously it is not just men, is it? It is men who are

:24:26. > :24:30.responsible for 90% of violence and 85% of victims are women. If what

:24:31. > :24:36.you're mentioning is victims who are men, you're right. There is a good

:24:37. > :24:41.deal of that. The balance, but it is largely men on men. Often in gay

:24:42. > :24:48.relationships. And we haven't yet got a programme about that, but I

:24:49. > :24:52.think what is important is that we are tackling the major type of

:24:53. > :24:58.domestic abuse and as we learn from tackling that we will be able to

:24:59. > :25:02.expand this, if it really does hold water and carries on working for

:25:03. > :25:09.what we hope will be the years still to come while we can do it then we

:25:10. > :25:18.will expand it and work it out so it will help male victims of men and

:25:19. > :25:23.female victims of women. But it doesn't require her to report. It

:25:24. > :25:27.gets him, either voluntarily and quickly on to a perpetrator

:25:28. > :25:32.programme or he will be disrupted by the police and persuaded ultimately

:25:33. > :25:35.that is in his best interests. It reverses the usual position which is

:25:36. > :25:40.that the guy thinks no one know abouts this, the authorities are not

:25:41. > :25:43.going to intervene and shows straightforwardly that the

:25:44. > :25:47.authorities are on her side and they will intervene and they intend to

:25:48. > :25:54.make him change in the interests of her and children who are there too.

:25:55. > :26:02.So far, it is very promising indeed. Vera Baird, thank you.

:26:03. > :26:03.And our Policing Britain series will continue tomorrow,

:26:04. > :26:05.with a special report about historical sexual

:26:06. > :26:07.exploitation inquiries - how many victims have come forward,

:26:08. > :26:09.how much some investigations have cost and what it's

:26:10. > :26:30.Coming up in a moment on the BBC News Channel is Business Live.

:26:31. > :26:38.Prostate cancer. The approach uses lasers and a drug made from deep sea

:26:39. > :26:42.bacteria to eliminate tumours. They put the drug into your blood stream

:26:43. > :26:46.and then a laser goes somewhere that I don't want to talk about and when

:30:52. > :30:53.Eyewitnesses say the vehicle ploughed into the busy market square

:30:54. > :30:56.without slowing down. The market is close to the popular

:31:44. > :31:48.happened so fast. We were quite shocked to see that Ilori had come

:31:49. > :31:54.right the way through. There was clearly no attempt from the lorry

:31:55. > :31:58.driver to slow down or to stop. You know, there were no sound of breaks

:31:59. > :32:03.going off or tire skidding or anything like that.

:39:05. > :39:09.a few close situations. And this situation was wonderful,

:39:10. > :39:11.only because we were still awake And with the changes we made,

:39:12. > :39:15.I think we gave the side kind of stability with Emre,

:39:16. > :39:19.and kind of experienced striker with Daniel, so it was good,

:39:20. > :39:22.and of course a little bit lucky. Because we conceded the goal

:39:23. > :39:35.in extra time, eight It was already difficult to keep one

:39:36. > :39:42.point until 90, 95 minutes. And the eight minutes

:39:43. > :39:56.was killing for us. I don't know if anybody heard Dan

:41:03. > :41:08.going to take a little break. Because we've got someone special

:41:09. > :41:13.here! Hello, Ore. When was the last time you read the sport and

:41:14. > :41:18.breakfast? A little while ago, I'm a bit rusty. What would you like me to

:41:19. > :41:21.do? This story is perfect for you, it's lots of fun. Do it on camera

:41:22. > :41:25.five over the! The International Horse Show came

:41:26. > :41:28.to an end last night. Daniel Deusser won

:41:29. > :41:31.the London Olympia Grand Prix. After the competition,

:41:32. > :41:33.the crowd were treated to some spectacular stunts -

:41:34. > :41:49.dogs riding horses from Spain, Are you making this up?! It's true.

:41:50. > :41:55.See who is coming next. You don't have to read the words, just look at

:41:56. > :42:03.the pictures. Suntec is here! That is wonderful -- Santa Claus.

:42:04. > :42:13.Ore, congratulations. It's just good to be back. This is your trophy?

:42:14. > :42:17.This is the replica of the Strictly Come Dancing Champions Trophy. That

:42:18. > :42:22.seems very strange to say. I thought you were pointing to the word winner

:42:23. > :42:26.on the front and giggling to yourself! It doesn't make much sense

:42:27. > :42:30.to me. I signed up for the show thinking, what an opportunity to

:42:31. > :42:34.learn to dance. You want to last as long as you can, take every week as

:42:35. > :42:38.it comes. But getting to the final was me done, that was the wedding

:42:39. > :42:43.moment. This was not part of the plan. Ore, we had a sneak preview.

:42:44. > :42:50.We are happy that we did. Sally was in it, Dan, you weren't here. You

:42:51. > :42:55.know, we saw your moves in that, I knew from that moment that you had a

:42:56. > :43:00.strong chance to win it. I have been asked whether Rye had dance

:43:01. > :43:03.experience before. Of course, and BBC Breakfast dancing videos, that's

:43:04. > :43:11.where it all stemmed from! And at Wimbledon we had a bit of a chance

:43:12. > :43:16.as well -- a bit of a dance. We're going to show you some highlights

:43:17. > :43:18.from Saturday night. Are you ready? I'm ready, I've got everything I

:43:19. > :44:28.need. He's ready, run it. Oh, Ore! Well done. Thank you. I

:44:29. > :44:32.know you're pointing at that thinking, this is crazy. Does it

:44:33. > :44:36.feel like a dream that didn't really happen? It's so real, the whole

:44:37. > :44:39.thing about it is surreal. I was on the train back from London

:44:40. > :44:43.yesterday, there was a couple reading the paper. And I looked

:44:44. > :44:49.across at my face was on it. At 01.2 by ever think that I would be

:44:50. > :44:53.looking at a picture... This couple kept double taking across when they

:44:54. > :44:57.saw me! The whole thing is bizarre. The reaction that we've had has been

:44:58. > :45:06.incredible. To think that we went on this journey, 14 weeks and this

:45:07. > :45:10.journey. Right at the end of it, the public have voted for us to win this

:45:11. > :45:14.programme, this dance programme, this thing that I've never done

:45:15. > :45:17.before. It was just amazing. We've had the most incredible reaction,

:45:18. > :45:24.some amazing fans. To be there with Joe, it was just amazing.

:45:25. > :45:35.What was your favourite dance? The show dance. The jive is when

:45:36. > :45:38.everything changed, when people thought we might be contenders, but

:45:39. > :45:43.it was the show dance. When we were rehearsing, and we had no intention

:45:44. > :45:47.of winning the trophy, when Jo showed me the steps of the show

:45:48. > :45:51.dance, it was the first moment when I thought, hold the phone, do you

:45:52. > :45:56.think we can win this? She is a world show dance champion. The

:45:57. > :46:01.minute I saw it, I knew that we had two great numbers, Singing In The

:46:02. > :46:04.Rain, and the jive, I thought something ridiculous could happen on

:46:05. > :46:14.Saturday. But we never really considered it. The umbrella flip,

:46:15. > :46:21.you did this on stage, if that goes wrong, that changes from a ten down

:46:22. > :46:25.to an eight, straightaway? Ten down to a two! The audacity to do a whole

:46:26. > :46:32.dance, don't forget that Gene Kelly's widow was in the audience.

:46:33. > :46:38.Which ridiculous person thought it was a good idea? Hi... Gene Kelly

:46:39. > :46:44.does it in the scene. I thought, if you are going to do it, you have to

:46:45. > :46:48.pull out some stops. This week, in the lead up to the final, we went

:46:49. > :46:53.through about eight umbrellas because they kept breaking. There

:46:54. > :46:59.was no guarantee it would go right on the night. You have a 100%

:47:00. > :47:07.record, you will have to do it. I am retiring from umbrella flipping. Are

:47:08. > :47:22.you doing it? Take everything valuable away! Goodness me! That is

:47:23. > :47:26.sensational! Legend. I feel like my achievements have been belittled. We

:47:27. > :47:28.have had Chris Hollins, Natasha Caplansky, three winners. Who is

:47:29. > :47:39.next? I want to talk about the future, you

:47:40. > :47:43.are doing the tour? Yes, and Christmas, that is all I have my

:47:44. > :47:46.eyes on. I can't wait to get back with the cast. I spoke to Danny

:47:47. > :47:52.yesterday. We were talking about dancing. He loved being back on

:47:53. > :47:58.here. We miss it already. We genuinely miss it. The production

:47:59. > :48:03.was so much fun. I actually got told off by Jo, occasionally, being too

:48:04. > :48:08.friendly. She was, like, you've got dancing to do, why are you saying hi

:48:09. > :48:13.to everyone? It was such a family atmosphere. To be in the final with

:48:14. > :48:18.those guys was an honour. I can't wait to go touring with them.

:48:19. > :48:22.Touring the UK, dancing! Who thought that would have happened a few

:48:23. > :48:27.months ago? How are your mum and dad? Recovering. You need to get

:48:28. > :48:34.signed photographs for your family, they have been incredibly

:48:35. > :48:38.supportive. She wants me to do a tour for the family. Would you like

:48:39. > :48:44.to say good morning to a former contestant, Carol Kirkwood? This is

:48:45. > :48:51.for you. Over to you. You have been my inspiration for 12 months. We did

:48:52. > :48:56.it! Bless you. What you have not said, which is so impressive, is

:48:57. > :49:01.that you learned that jive in probably only, realistically, three

:49:02. > :49:08.and a half days. All credit to you. Amazing work, Ore. Congratulations.

:49:09. > :49:13.Hang on that umbrella, you might need it later!

:49:14. > :49:19.This is a picture from London, earlier. A beautiful style to the

:49:20. > :49:25.day. For many parts of England and Wales, it has been quite murky. It

:49:26. > :49:28.will brighten up. Across Scotland and Northern Ireland, cold and

:49:29. > :49:32.frosty, but there is some sunshine around. Another weather front coming

:49:33. > :49:36.in from the West, that is introducing some rain and some

:49:37. > :49:40.strengthening wind. It is touching gale force, the gusts across the

:49:41. > :49:44.North West later this afternoon. Talking of this afternoon, we will

:49:45. > :49:48.see the heavy rain coming from the West. Further east, brighter skies,

:49:49. > :49:49.some sunshine around, but don't forget the gusty wind. I will show

:49:50. > :50:05.you those in a second. Northern Ireland, a little rain

:50:06. > :50:08.coming your way this afternoon. For western fringes of England and

:50:09. > :50:10.Wales, this morning we have a weak weather front producing patchy rain.

:50:11. > :50:12.That will still be with us as we head through the afternoon. Moving

:50:13. > :50:15.away from that, the cloud will break. We will see Sunny spells

:50:16. > :50:19.developing. Looking at the gusts, up to 60 mph to the north and

:50:20. > :50:24.north-west of Scotland. The Outer Hebrides could have 60 or 70 mph.

:50:25. > :50:27.That ribbon of rain and the gusty wind will slowly push southwards

:50:28. > :50:32.during the evening and overnight, weakening as they do so. Behind

:50:33. > :50:35.them, there will be clear spells. Then we will have squally showers

:50:36. > :50:40.coming across Northern Ireland and Scotland. By the end of the night,

:50:41. > :50:44.some snow possibly at lower levels across parts of western Scotland.

:50:45. > :50:47.That might affect some of the higher-level roads in western

:50:48. > :50:54.Scotland. That is how we start tomorrow as well. Still squally

:50:55. > :50:57.showers, with thunder and lightning. In Scotland, to the north of the

:50:58. > :51:01.Central lowlands, we are looking at some snow at lower levels. In the

:51:02. > :51:05.Southern uplands and across Northern Ireland, any snow will be on the

:51:06. > :51:10.hills. Meanwhile, a weather from travelling south is going to

:51:11. > :51:15.introduce more rain. That will pep up during the day. In between all of

:51:16. > :51:20.this, there will be some sunshine. As we move into Thursday, quieter.

:51:21. > :51:26.We have a weather front, a fairly weak affair, producing some spots of

:51:27. > :51:32.rain. There will be some sunshine, variable amounts of cloud. Feeling

:51:33. > :51:38.cold as we push further north. As we head into Friday, the next potent

:51:44. > :51:47.rain. This will push through quite quickly. If you look at the squeeze

:51:48. > :51:52.on the isobars, a windy day. Particularly across the northern

:51:58. > :52:08.expect. The strongest wind will be across the North.

:52:16. > :52:22.Five days before Christmas, so we are opening door number 20.

:52:23. > :52:26.face or faces are behind the door for us today,

:52:27. > :52:28.with the children of Primrose Hill Primary School in Salford.

:52:29. > :52:38.We like to wish you all a very, very, very...

:52:39. > :52:58.And tomorrow we will have another message from one of our celebs.

:52:59. > :53:05.We have talked about Strictly, now another big TV show.

:53:06. > :53:08.Fans of Last Tango in Halifax waited two years to find out

:53:09. > :53:10.what happened to Alan and Celia and their often

:53:11. > :53:13.Tonight the two-part Christmas special comes to an end,

:53:14. > :53:18.We don't want to give too much away, but we're joined now

:53:19. > :53:20.by Nicola Walker and Dean Andrews, who play Gillian and Robbie -

:53:21. > :53:22.a couple whose marriage hides a dark secret.

:53:23. > :53:25.Before we speak to them, let's take a look at tonight's episode.

:53:26. > :53:36.He can't, chicken, he's hurt his neck.

:53:37. > :53:38.Well, strictly speaking, Grandma hurt his neck.

:53:39. > :53:59.It's just one of her imaginary friends.

:54:00. > :54:07.Yeah, but it's not a joke if she thinks he exists.

:54:08. > :54:13.Yeah, in her little pixie head, he exists, nowhere else.

:54:14. > :54:50.A bit of slow-mo. Thank you so much for coming on. What were you saying

:54:51. > :54:57.when you were watching that? In the barn! It has been an awfully long

:54:58. > :55:01.wait, two years. You have the nation gripped already? Yes, we have. There

:55:02. > :55:05.is something going on in the barn for our family. It gets better. I

:55:06. > :55:13.was going to say worse, but it gets even better tonight. It is such a

:55:14. > :55:17.fantastic story. So many different storylines in the family. What was

:55:18. > :55:21.it like coming to its first of all? People were waiting for a Christmas

:55:22. > :55:25.special. When you saw it, what did you think of it? When we first got

:55:26. > :55:32.the script, you are aware very quickly. Sally Wainwright's scripts,

:55:33. > :55:38.she is such a great writer. Before the audition, we both felt that we

:55:39. > :55:42.would be lucky to get this gig. There were so many other people that

:55:43. > :55:47.wanted jobs. I think that is the thing about her writing. It's so

:55:48. > :55:54.true, but it is also so much going on. It is theatrical, but very true.

:55:55. > :55:59.You got the most complicated relationship ever? I think it is

:56:00. > :56:02.pretty normal, isn't it? That is the thing with Sally's writing. It

:56:03. > :56:09.creates something that people can relate to. People have ups and

:56:10. > :56:16.downs. Gillian, Robbie, they are no different, really. Gillian is very

:56:17. > :56:20.independent. Robbie comes along, retires and sticks himself around

:56:21. > :56:26.the farm. He is there all the time. A lot of people will relate to that?

:56:27. > :56:29.That is Sally's writing, though. She delves into families and creates a

:56:30. > :56:34.very natural environments that people watch and go, yes, that

:56:35. > :56:36.happened to us, we are like that. She is clever. Part two to look

:56:37. > :56:38.forward to tonight. We can see Derek Jacobi

:56:39. > :56:41.and Anne Reid as Alan and Celia in a clip from last night's

:56:42. > :56:50.episode. He's such a nice man,

:56:51. > :56:53.and he's had such a rubbish life. He was orphaned, and his

:56:54. > :56:56.brother got murdered. How could I think of standing him up

:56:57. > :57:04.at the altar in front You know, you can always get

:57:05. > :57:34.divorced afterwards. Derek Shelby looks good, doesn't he!

:57:35. > :57:39.-- Derek Jacobi. That was from the last series, that was the important

:57:40. > :57:44.point, the marriage or not marriage? There was a moment when it looked

:57:45. > :57:48.like she was going to bolt at the altar. Sarah Lancashire's character

:57:49. > :57:51.persuaded her the best thing to do would be to get married, because she

:57:52. > :57:59.could get divorced later. That is where this begins. Thanks for that,

:58:00. > :58:10.I didn't realise. She loves him, but there is the complication of

:58:11. > :58:15.having... Murdered his brother. You'd better not have. So

:58:16. > :58:19.brilliantly complicated. There are fabulous actors in this. I

:58:20. > :58:23.understand there is a game that you play on set? The most times you have

:58:24. > :58:29.died, or the worst ways when you are an actor? In between takes, there is

:58:30. > :58:34.some waiting time. It is always delightful on Last Tango, because of

:58:35. > :58:42.having everybody, such great stories. One day, we played the game

:58:43. > :58:50.of, the different and varied ways you had died as a character.

:58:51. > :58:57.Actually, Derek has some great ones. He has the Shakespearean... I,

:58:58. > :59:07.Claudius was a good one. I came in a good second because of cat Max --

:59:08. > :59:16.because of Spooks. Somebody died from touching diamonds covered in

:59:17. > :59:21.rare snake venom. You came quite later to acting? I was 40, it was

:59:22. > :59:25.quite late. A bit of a surprise to me. It came out of the blue. Ken

:59:26. > :59:29.Loach came to Sheffield to make a film and he liked some ordinary

:59:30. > :59:33.people in it. He finds them in entertainment agencies. He scouted

:59:34. > :59:36.the entertainment agency, we auditioned and I ended up with a

:59:37. > :59:40.nice role. We went from there, really. Can I ask you about the

:59:41. > :59:49.fourth series? Fans are desperate to know what is happening. Are you

:59:50. > :59:52.filming it, when will it be on? I would like to know, to! We are

:59:53. > :59:57.equally fans. When Sally has time to write it, we will all be there.

:59:58. > :59:59.Definitely. It could be next year, whatever. She knows? Well, she is

:00:00. > :00:02.very busy. The Last Tango in Halifax

:00:03. > :00:15.Christmas special concludes You can see it on BBC iPlayer if you

:00:16. > :00:20.haven't already seen the other one. Do you like Jim? Yes, very much. --

:00:21. > :00:24.do you like gin? Lots of people talk about getting

:00:25. > :00:27.into the Christmas spirit, but Steph's really taken it to heart

:00:28. > :00:30.this year. With sales of gin and rum booming in the last year,

:00:31. > :00:33.she's at one of the UK's oldest distilleries to find out how they're

:00:34. > :00:38.coping with demand. We don't think she's been on the gin

:00:39. > :00:42.as yet, or maybe she has? Good morning, Steph. No, I haven't

:00:43. > :00:47.sampled anything yet. I'm at one of the UK is oldest gin distilleries

:00:48. > :00:51.that has been going the 250 years. Joanne is the master distiller.

:00:52. > :00:59.She's going to tell us about how it works. Your putting juniper berries

:01:00. > :01:03.in the? This comes from Italy. We have got other ingredients, some

:01:04. > :01:07.lemon peel from Spain, and behind me we've got some coriander from

:01:08. > :01:12.Morocco. What happens when it goes in here? The botanicals goes in

:01:13. > :01:19.here, with the water, who is -- which is British wit and water. When

:01:20. > :01:23.we reach 80 Celsius, the alcohol boils, the vapours take the lovely

:01:24. > :01:26.flavours from the botanicals, going up the column, they hit the

:01:27. > :01:31.condenser, and through the receiving thanks. Excellent. I'm going to send

:01:32. > :01:36.you to the receiving tanks because we will have a case that there. The

:01:37. > :01:42.reason why we are talking about gin is because gin sales are up 10% over

:01:43. > :01:47.the last year. It seems our love of gin is helping the shoppers who are

:01:48. > :01:54.selling it. Kate works in the industry. Tell us a bit about how

:01:55. > :01:57.you think gin is doing so well? It exciting and innovative. A lot of

:01:58. > :02:05.them are produced locally, which has great appeal. We sell at least ten

:02:06. > :02:11.or 15 gins which are sold down the road. It has become more premium?

:02:12. > :02:16.Yes, and they are really pushing boundaries with flavours. Really

:02:17. > :02:20.exciting flavours, opening up the people new tastes that they haven't

:02:21. > :02:24.discovered before. Interesting. This is the waste product that is coming

:02:25. > :02:28.out. The berries that are not being used, bits of them ready to be

:02:29. > :02:32.zipped up. I've got another guest here. I'm coming in as much

:02:33. > :02:38.choreography as I can! Seidman is from the Co-op. It's your job to

:02:39. > :02:44.stock the shops. What's going on with alcohol sales? Consumers want

:02:45. > :02:47.to treat themselves at this time of year around Christmas, customers are

:02:48. > :02:50.looking for products which are distinctive, have great labels and

:02:51. > :02:56.distinctive flavours. Is that why the change from the past? I think

:02:57. > :03:00.that move towards more premium with single course beer, spirits, and

:03:01. > :03:05.certainly a coarse wine as well. -- we are seeing across beer. It is a

:03:06. > :03:10.gift to share with friends over a meal. Thank you very much, Simon.

:03:11. > :03:15.Now we're getting to our favourite bit, we're going to test it and try

:03:16. > :03:21.it. Joanne has zipped over. Amazing, you don't even look breathless! Tell

:03:22. > :03:24.me how you tested? Throughout the distillation we take samples just to

:03:25. > :03:28.make sure that we are on track with the right profile. At the end we

:03:29. > :03:37.have the finished gins and we tried them in our tasting panel. We take

:03:38. > :03:42.the glass and we swirl it around, and you just knows the aroma

:03:43. > :03:46.compound in the gin to make sure that you have got the right

:03:47. > :03:50.flavours. How do you know what each one should smell like? To be honest,

:03:51. > :03:56.I can't tell a massive difference. You must have an incredible nose!

:03:57. > :04:01.Thank you! Practice makes perfect. We have been distilling for over 250

:04:02. > :04:05.years, we create the recipes, we know the individual ingredients that

:04:06. > :04:11.go into making the gins to know what flavour profiles. This is a juniper

:04:12. > :04:15.led gin with a citrus finish. This one is slightly different, in light,

:04:16. > :04:21.floral gin with botanicals and honeysuckle. Then we've got

:04:22. > :04:26.something slightly different, this is an oriental spice gin, with

:04:27. > :04:30.Codman in the. Your title, master distiller, that is quite a title.

:04:31. > :04:36.What does it mean? I'm responsible for the creation of all of the gins

:04:37. > :04:41.here's. Given it so close to Christmas, are we allowed to try

:04:42. > :04:50.them? You are, yes. There's no telling with this.

:04:51. > :04:58.Christmas has started! That's gone straight to my head, that! I noticed

:04:59. > :05:04.you didn't have one, because you've got a job to do for the rest of the

:05:05. > :05:10.day. I noted that you said, we're going to try them, not just the one!

:05:11. > :05:15.That is just the one, I'm not trying all three, I'm not that brave! I

:05:16. > :05:20.know I'm a good Middlesbrough last, but I'm not drinking all of that

:05:21. > :05:30.this morning! She's gone early. Hopefully we'll see you back here

:05:31. > :05:35.safely soon! Fascinating, nose it first. Interesting all the different

:05:36. > :05:36.flavours and colours. One looked like vinegar, hopefully it doesn't

:05:37. > :05:38.taste like it! In a moment, Jools Holland will be

:05:39. > :05:41.here to tell us who'll be joining him and his piano to see

:05:42. > :05:44.in 2017 on this year's Hootenanny. But first a last brief

:05:45. > :07:35.look at the headlines Jools Holland is here! We're having

:07:36. > :07:38.a chinwag. Many of us will be seeing in the New Year with this man.

:07:39. > :07:41.Many of us will have seen in the New Year with Jools Holland

:07:42. > :07:44.at some point over the years - his Hootenanny has been

:07:45. > :07:48.He'll be seeing in 2017 with the usual musical extravaganza,

:07:49. > :07:50.but Jools has also been taking his piano out

:07:51. > :07:52.and about to some rather unusual settings in order

:07:53. > :07:56.Good morning. We'll talk to you properly in a moment.

:07:57. > :07:59.Let's have a listen to one of the tracks.

:08:00. > :08:47.Excellent dancing there, Mr Hollande! I went to a dance centre.

:08:48. > :08:51.What goes nice with a piano, is a bit of dancing. We've got some

:08:52. > :08:56.fantastic dance students who do contemporary dons for piano music.

:08:57. > :09:01.It's really rare to listen to a record this days which is just

:09:02. > :09:06.instrumental. I realised that when I was growing up. I used to listen to

:09:07. > :09:10.Ramsey Lewis, popular pianists back in the day. But I realise now,

:09:11. > :09:13.people don't really make instrumental records any more. There

:09:14. > :09:17.were lots of popular instrumentalists. I said, I've spent

:09:18. > :09:21.all of my life playing the piano. I want to make a piano record. They

:09:22. > :09:26.said, blimey, nobody does it any more. There's a good reason to do

:09:27. > :09:30.it, I think. After a lifetime of making friends with the piano, I

:09:31. > :09:34.decided to get a piano album out. The white you don't need a singer

:09:35. > :09:42.when you have got the piano being in the style -- you don't need a singer

:09:43. > :09:45.when the piano is the star. Everybody knows a piano somewhere,

:09:46. > :09:49.whether it is in the numbers might front room or in a pub. It goes with

:09:50. > :09:57.the boys of whoever is playing it, it is and instrument -- the voice of

:09:58. > :10:02.whoever is playing it. It's dynamic, it's all of those things. I've spent

:10:03. > :10:07.a life having a relationship with it. I thought I'd better make a

:10:08. > :10:10.record of it and let it be the star. They are all different. I know you

:10:11. > :10:14.said in the past that some new attacks, some you make friends with,

:10:15. > :10:18.some you fall in love with. Every piano is different. Every piano is

:10:19. > :10:22.different, you play something different on it at something

:10:23. > :10:26.different comes back. In modern technology, we have won in a shed,

:10:27. > :10:32.we recorded in the field so I could record with birdsong. It is an odd

:10:33. > :10:37.feeling if you want to try it! It's really unusual. It sounds a bit out

:10:38. > :10:40.there, but it works. You just play as the sun is setting and you listen

:10:41. > :10:46.on the birds are singing and it just works. There's a bit of that. We

:10:47. > :10:53.recorded one with a soundscape on a strange piano rigged up with a

:10:54. > :10:56.soundscape. It was great fun going to different pianos and making

:10:57. > :11:00.friends with pianos and recording them on something different comes

:11:01. > :11:04.out. Every time you play, you're never quite sure what's going to

:11:05. > :11:07.happen. Lovely to have it in different places as well. I can't

:11:08. > :11:12.remember what I was going to say, I was so fascinated listening! The

:11:13. > :11:19.birds, is that what you are going to talk about, did the birds get paid?

:11:20. > :11:25.Did they fill the gap? Somebody said, they don't make music, they

:11:26. > :11:30.don't need to! Birds do not read music! Tell me about the Hootenanny?

:11:31. > :11:37.I love it so much. Would either of you like to come? I'm coming this

:11:38. > :11:43.year. Great, we hope to have Chaka Khan, which would be really great.

:11:44. > :11:49.Gregory Porter will be there. Christie and the queens, fantastic,

:11:50. > :11:53.one of the greatest French exports. We've been persuading her to do a

:11:54. > :11:57.song with the orchestra, she's never done with a big band before, which

:11:58. > :12:04.will be great -- she's never done a song. ABC will be there. There's

:12:05. > :12:09.just so much great stuff. I can't wait. One would will be there.

:12:10. > :12:13.Doctor John Cooper Clarke from Manchester. So many people. Lots of

:12:14. > :12:17.people in the audience coming to say hello. It is a tradition in our

:12:18. > :12:21.family to watch it. Do you feel that? It's certainly become a

:12:22. > :12:25.tradition for me and my band. I suppose the thing is, some people

:12:26. > :12:30.have it on, you know, some people have it on in a pub, say, because

:12:31. > :12:34.it's like a nice thing to have in the background. It's the best kind

:12:35. > :12:37.of music to have in a pub. Or you might be home with a couple of

:12:38. > :12:45.people warned your own. You might be in the bath, the bed, the shed, who

:12:46. > :12:49.knows! Is there an extra second in the countdown this year? I hope

:12:50. > :12:54.everybody is going to make the most of it! We've got plenty more time,

:12:55. > :12:57.this is the second year, there is one extra second. I've consulted

:12:58. > :13:02.Nasa scientists on all of this. We count down from ten. When we get

:13:03. > :13:05.down to one, there is an extra second to enjoy ourselves and

:13:06. > :13:09.reflect on what has happened this year. Things I didn't know about the

:13:10. > :13:13.date this year. Brilliant, thank you so much. Lovely to see you both.

:13:14. > :13:15.Let's take a look at you playing the piano at St Pancras Station.

:13:16. > :13:17.Jools Holland's album Piano is out now.

:13:18. > :13:22.That's it from us on Breakfast this morning.

:13:23. > :13:23.We'll both be back tomorrow from 6:00.

:13:24. > :13:25.We'll be continuing our look at policing Britain,

:13:26. > :13:27.and Steph will undergo some of the intensive training

:13:28. > :13:29.used to prepare officers for front line policing.

:13:30. > :13:45.The most a writer can hope from a reader
