:01:06. > :01:09.million of us are expected to hit the supermarkets today for a

:01:10. > :01:12.last-minute Christmas shop. So what do you need to know and the top tips

:01:13. > :01:14.for survival? I'll have the details. Crystal Palace are looking

:01:15. > :01:17.for a new manager after sacking Alan Pardew after just

:01:18. > :01:19.one win in 11 matches. He leaves the club sitting just

:01:20. > :01:22.above the relegation zone. And Carol has the Christmas

:01:23. > :01:35.forecast in a lovely, Good morning from Covent Garden,

:01:36. > :01:39.where we have got the tallest live Christmas tree in London. The

:01:40. > :01:43.weather isn't very festive, though, Storm Barbara up on our shores

:01:44. > :01:46.bringing gusts up to 90 mph in the far north of Scotland and the

:01:47. > :01:51.Northern Isles. The rest of Scotland, Northern Ireland and

:01:52. > :01:55.northern England, between 60 and 90 mph, not as bad as that further

:01:56. > :02:00.south but still looking at a windy day, plus some rain. More on all of

:02:14. > :02:16.yesterday evening, but were returned to their cells overnight.

:02:17. > :02:18.Our reporter Peter Whittlesea is outside Swaleside Prison

:02:19. > :02:24.Two men have been arrested in Germany on suspicion of planning

:02:25. > :02:27.an attack on a shopping centre near the Dutch border.

:02:28. > :02:29.The brothers were detained early this morning.

:02:30. > :02:31.Germany is on high alert after Monday's attack in Berlin,

:02:32. > :02:35.Authorities have issued an arrest-warrant for Tunisian man

:02:36. > :02:37.Anis Amri, whose fingerprints were found in the truck

:02:38. > :02:49.Caught on a taxi's dashboard-mounted camera, the moment the lorry

:02:50. > :02:57.12 people were killed, and dozens more were injured.

:02:58. > :03:06.This is Anis Amri, filming himself, humming a tune in Berlin,

:03:07. > :03:09.a video posted to his Facebook page in September.

:03:10. > :03:13.The 24-year-old is now Europe's most wanted man.

:03:14. > :03:16.First, his ID documents were found in the cab of the lorry,

:04:29. > :04:32.Renton, BBC News. Preparing for your

:04:33. > :04:33.Christmas getaway? This weekend sees major engineering

:04:34. > :04:38.works begin on lines in and out Drivers are also likely

:04:39. > :04:41.to face tailbacks, In contrast, airports across Britain

:04:42. > :04:46.are experiencing the busiest festive travel getaway ever,

:04:47. > :04:48.with more of us planning to leave the country than ever before over

:04:49. > :04:51.Christmas and New Year. Our transport correspondent

:04:52. > :05:06.Richard Westcott has the details. It's one of the busiest lines in

:05:07. > :05:10.Britain. A vital link between London, south-west England and South

:05:11. > :05:14.Wales. But they're shutting this section near London tomorrow as part

:05:15. > :05:19.of the biggest rail upgrade programme ever taken on. 24,000

:05:20. > :05:23.staff will work on 200 projects across Britain, but why pick

:05:24. > :05:27.Christmas? We have a huge programme of works that we have to deliver as

:05:28. > :05:31.part of our railway upgrade programme and some of that work

:05:32. > :05:39.can't be done on a live railway, we have to shut the railway. So

:05:40. > :05:42.Christmas is the best time to do it because it's one of the quietest

:05:43. > :05:44.times of the year. It will hit services across the country.

:05:45. > :05:48.London's Paddington station will close for six days after the last

:05:49. > :05:50.train leaves. Services at other big stations, including London bridge,

:05:51. > :05:54.Charing Cross and Liverpool Street will be severely affected. There

:05:55. > :05:58.will be no trains late on Christmas Eve between Cardiff Central,

:05:59. > :06:03.Bridgend, Newport and the valleys as they finished the biggest re- signal

:06:04. > :06:09.in God ever done. Services around central Manchester will also be

:06:10. > :06:12.affected. Christmas engineering work overran two years ago causing chaos

:06:13. > :06:17.because the backup plan failed. Network Rail says it's much better

:06:18. > :06:21.prepared now and all holiday work since then has gone without a hitch.

:06:22. > :06:26.A lack of trains will make it harder to get to some of the airports too.

:06:27. > :06:32.Christmas Eve is one of their busiest days of the year and it will

:06:33. > :06:35.make the roads more congested. Although 54,000 miles of road works

:06:36. > :06:39.are either being finished off or removed altogether during the

:06:40. > :06:41.holidays to try to ease any jams. Richard Westcott, BBC News.

:06:42. > :06:44.We can speak now to our reporter Anisa Kadri,

:06:45. > :06:48.who is at London Paddington station for us.

:06:49. > :06:56.It looks pretty quiet and subdued at the moment, but I imagine panic will

:06:57. > :07:01.be setting in a little later? Yes. Good morning. We have seen a few

:07:02. > :07:07.travellers here with big suitcases heading for Heathrow Airport as well

:07:08. > :07:11.as to south-west England, the West Country and South Wales, heading

:07:12. > :07:16.home for Christmas of course. But it should pick up a bit more later on.

:07:17. > :07:21.But if anyone turns up tomorrow to catch a train from this station,

:07:22. > :07:26.well, they won't be getting on it because the station will be closed

:07:27. > :07:32.for engineering works for a few days. Indeed Network Rail says it's

:07:33. > :07:37.carrying out works across 200 projects in total and they include

:07:38. > :07:45.ongoing work in Manchester, as well as upgrading the tracks in Cardiff.

:07:46. > :07:51.What their advice is planned in advance as much as possible, and

:07:52. > :07:55.they said check online. -- plan. That's where you're going to get

:07:56. > :08:01.your most up to date information and if you are keen on social media then

:08:02. > :08:06.searched the hash tag Christmas works on Twitter. Thanks very much.

:08:07. > :08:07.we will of Network Rail, Mark

:08:08. > :08:14.Carne just after 7am. The Syrian army has

:08:15. > :08:17.declared victory in Aleppo. The east of the city had been

:08:18. > :08:20.held by rebels for more becoming a symbol

:08:21. > :08:25.of the opposition to State media said the last convoy

:08:26. > :08:28.taking rebel fighters In a statement on Syrian TV,

:08:29. > :08:32.an army commander said they would now liberate

:08:33. > :08:37.the rest of the country. The Government is injecting

:08:38. > :08:40.?60 million a year to help

:08:41. > :08:41.first-time buyers get a foot on the housing ladder in areas

:08:42. > :08:44.where locals are crowded out Housing Minister Gavin Barwell

:08:45. > :08:49.said the cash would be channelled through local councils

:08:50. > :08:51.to community-led groups The south-west will

:08:52. > :08:54.receive the most funding. People sleeping rough are 17 times

:08:55. > :08:58.more likely to be a victim of crime That's according to

:08:59. > :09:01.homeless charity Crisis. They also found 80% of homeless

:09:02. > :09:04.people are regularly attacked and abused,

:09:05. > :09:05.some even urinated on. Our social affairs correspondent

:09:06. > :09:19.Michael Buchanan has more. London commuter trains provided a

:09:20. > :09:23.place of safety and shelter for one man who was homeless for five years.

:09:24. > :09:28.He would sleep on the carriages heading in and out of the city. He

:09:29. > :09:32.became frightened of the streets after becoming the subject of an

:09:33. > :09:35.unprovoked attack one night. I was in Leicester Square, got into a

:09:36. > :09:40.discussion with a young man around the fact I was homeless. He became

:09:41. > :09:45.quite aggravated I would guess by the fact I was homeless and I was

:09:46. > :09:49.saying being homeless isn't a choice and your homeless for different

:09:50. > :09:53.reasons and then he punched me in the face, and it was quite nasty.

:09:54. > :09:58.His experience is fairly common, says today's survey could. 30% of

:09:59. > :10:04.rough sleepers say they've been deliberately hit or kicked. 31% say

:10:05. > :10:08.they've had things thrown at them. 7% were actually urinated on. Most

:10:09. > :10:12.were attacked by people they didn't know. It's not just the incident

:10:13. > :10:21.itself but it's the impact it has on that individual, on their mental

:10:22. > :10:24.health, on their ability to even ask for help. We found that most

:10:25. > :10:27.homeless people who are sleeping feel ashamed already and surely if

:10:28. > :10:30.you're then urinated on your going to feel more ashamed and even more

:10:31. > :10:34.marginalised. Crisis say homeless people rarely report crimes as they

:10:35. > :10:38.don't think the police will take them seriously. They want officers

:10:39. > :10:43.to send a strong message to rough sleepers that their safety is

:10:44. > :10:44.paramount and that any abuses they suffer will be fully investigated.

:10:45. > :10:46.Michael Buchanan, BBC News. For the first time ever a snow

:10:47. > :10:49.leopard has been recorded The footage has been

:10:50. > :10:52.captured on a camera trap in Mongolia as part of monitoring

:10:53. > :10:56.work which began in 2011. It's the first time that quadruplet

:10:57. > :10:58.cubs have been registered. According to the World Wildlife Fund

:10:59. > :11:02.there are between 4,000 and 6,500 The cats are threatened by poaching

:11:03. > :11:19.and loss of living space. Those removed cameras are proving to

:11:20. > :11:24.be so valuable to give us an insight into wildlife we've never seen

:11:25. > :11:28.before. -- Grimaud cameras. And you can see the spots really clearly

:11:29. > :11:30.because normally the patterns don't come through until later. Everyone

:11:31. > :11:43.is unique! -- remote cameras. Let's get more about the disturbance

:11:44. > :11:48.at Swaleside prison. Peter Whittlesea is there. What do we know

:11:49. > :11:55.about what was going on inside there last night? The Prison Service is

:11:56. > :12:00.saying that a wing needed to be controlled and that was confined to

:12:01. > :12:05.one landing and the Prison Service is saying around 1am this morning

:12:06. > :12:10.the inmates surrendered and went back into their cells. This is after

:12:11. > :12:16.these specialist officers, specialist guards called Tornado

:12:17. > :12:20.Squads went in in riot vans and they are specially trained in restraint

:12:21. > :12:24.and control. The Prison Service are saying no staff or inmates were

:12:25. > :12:27.injured when this happened. Yesterday evening I was outside the

:12:28. > :12:33.prison and you could clearly hear inmates banging from inside and

:12:34. > :12:37.there were also fire crews and ambulances on standby outside.

:12:38. > :12:41.Peter, for now, thank you very much indeed. Back to Peter during the

:12:42. > :12:45.morning as we get more details from Swaleside.

:12:46. > :12:52.We're going to get a Christmas forecast form Carol, but we have to

:12:53. > :12:54.be aware of Storm Barbara affecting the North.

:12:55. > :13:09.What a Christmas present to have! And you're a Crystal Palace fan? I'm

:13:10. > :13:14.from south London originally so you have to stick with your roots. Happy

:13:15. > :13:19.or sad about Alan Pardew? I'm sad because not a good Christmas for

:13:20. > :13:25.him. What a time to go! But if your team doesn't perform. One win in 11

:13:26. > :13:27.matches. At least he gets a good break. Time to do the Christmas

:13:28. > :13:27.shopping! Crystal palace say they will move

:13:28. > :13:31.quickly to replace Alan Pardew who was sacked after just

:13:32. > :13:33.one win in 11 matches. Pardew leaves the club just one

:13:34. > :13:36.place above the relegation zone. He led Palace to the FA Cup final

:13:37. > :13:40.in May but aside from that run, their form in the league

:13:41. > :13:43.is the worst of all 92 Premier League and English

:13:44. > :13:51.Football League clubs. Former England manager Sam Allardyce

:13:52. > :13:54.is the frontrunner to replace him He managed to keep Sunderland up

:13:55. > :13:59.last season and has never been Other potential candidates include

:14:00. > :14:02.another former England manager Roy Hodgson and the Wales

:14:03. > :14:15.manager Chris Coleman. Former jockey John Buckingham,

:14:16. > :14:20.who won the 1967 Grand National on board Foinavon, has

:14:21. > :14:22.died at the age of 76. One of the best known

:14:23. > :14:31.names in racing history, Foinavon won the Grand National

:14:32. > :14:33.as a 100-1 outsider. He was the only horse to escape

:14:34. > :14:37.a mass fall at the 23rd fence, one that still bears

:14:38. > :14:39.his name today. And Dave 'Chizzy' Chisnall

:14:40. > :14:41.survived a scare to make it

:14:42. > :14:43.through to the second round of the PDC World Darts

:14:44. > :14:52.Championship. He almost went two sets down

:14:53. > :14:55.to the 22-year-old Little John Roby John Rodriguez but fought

:14:56. > :14:58.back to level the match and secured the win

:14:59. > :15:17.with this 11 dart leg. It has been a while since I have

:15:18. > :15:21.heard some good darts names. Are you into surfing? A fantastic picture on

:15:22. > :15:23.the front page of the times, Northern Ireland yesterday

:15:24. > :15:31.afternoon. As Storm Barbara approached. Is that the first thing

:15:32. > :15:35.you do? He looks terrified. The lead story on the Times claims the Queen

:15:36. > :15:39.is frustrated by the fact to reason may's government is being so

:15:40. > :15:43.secretive about its Brexit plans. Theresa May says we can't play our

:15:44. > :15:48.cards to Ellie and have to be secretive because this is about

:15:49. > :15:54.negotiation -- too early. Her Majesty is getting frustrated. We

:15:55. > :16:04.will go back to the front pages in a sec. Barbara winds-arrgh, I like

:16:05. > :16:09.that. According to this guy, you see those storms and stand there with

:16:10. > :16:15.your surfboard. An amazing sight. They are comparing pitches in

:16:16. > :16:20.Sussex. Loads of fog in Sussex. A tiny gorgeous rainbow in a moment of

:16:21. > :16:25.calm. I would like to see whether he went in or not. I bet he beat a

:16:26. > :16:31.hasty retreat out of there. He probably did. Let's catch up with

:16:32. > :16:37.the front pages. The Telegraph have a story that some students in the

:16:38. > :16:43.United Kingdom have got some no-go zones for Jewish students -- some

:16:44. > :16:49.universities. We will take a look at the Daily Mail as well. Civil

:16:50. > :16:52.servants who dole out foreign aid billions pay themselves more than

:16:53. > :16:57.any other ministry. The Daily Mail says that Richard's bloated foreign

:16:58. > :17:03.aid department now hints at the highest salaries in Whitehall --

:17:04. > :17:08.Britain. Pen pushers at the Department have a wage of more than

:17:09. > :17:15.?53,000 a year average. Dramatic picture on the front page of the

:17:16. > :17:17.Mirror. It claims this is a vaping explosion, that in e-cigarette

:17:18. > :17:21.exploded at a shop in Leeds yesterday in front of a baby in a

:17:22. > :17:26.pushchair. Asking questions about their safety and calling for an

:17:27. > :17:30.investigation. We spoke about Alan Pardew. What else is going on? He

:17:31. > :17:37.will not be working over Christmas. For anyone who is, that includes Sir

:17:38. > :17:43.Ben Ainsley, who is working in the Bahamas. Nice work. As you can

:17:44. > :17:50.imagine. Preparing for the assault on the America's Cup. He has

:17:51. > :17:54.decamped to Bermuda as he begins the preparation and training. You can't

:17:55. > :17:59.begrudge him that because you just know how hard he works. If you are

:18:00. > :18:03.going to be working anywhere, why not in Bermuda? Are you working

:18:04. > :18:12.Christmas Day? Anybody else? Bermuda? Later. Wouldn't that be

:18:13. > :18:18.nice. John, thank you. I don't think the weather is much like Bermuda.

:18:19. > :18:23.Carol joins us from Covent Garden. Good morning.

:18:24. > :18:32.It is lovely and in Covent Garden. 45 beautiful mistletoe chandeliers

:18:33. > :18:38.with 700 glistening berries on them. I pointed that out to our cameramen

:18:39. > :18:42.this morning, look at this mistletoe, and he was straight down

:18:43. > :18:47.the street. Hopefully he comes back said. The weather is not very

:18:48. > :18:52.festive. Storm Barbara is on our shores -- comes back soon. There is

:18:53. > :18:57.an ember weather warning for wind. Especially for Scotland, the

:18:58. > :19:01.Northern Isles with gusts of up to 90 mph. That could cause structural

:19:02. > :19:06.damage and also some travel disruption. But where ever you are,

:19:07. > :19:13.we are looking at strong winds today. Across Scotland are not a

:19:14. > :19:17.cloud, heavy rain pushing across. -- under a cloud. Some of the rain

:19:18. > :19:23.getting into north-western England as well. Towards East Anglia and

:19:24. > :19:28.down towards Ken, it is dry. Dry the Midlands, and then towards the

:19:29. > :19:32.south-west of England, largely dry -- Kent. Drizzle here and there. A

:19:33. > :19:38.dry start across Wales. Winter picking up along the coastline. Into

:19:39. > :19:41.Northern Ireland, rain is moving in, and strengthening winds. The

:19:42. > :19:47.strongest winds this morning will be across the western isles. Through

:19:48. > :19:53.the day, winds will pick up across Northern Ireland, Scotland and

:19:54. > :19:58.northern England. Gusts between 60 and 80 mph. 90 in the north. For the

:19:59. > :20:02.rest of England and Wales, still windier than it has been, but they

:20:03. > :20:07.will arrive later, the strongest winds, as the rain comes out. Behind

:20:08. > :20:12.the band of rain, a return to squally showers, some of which will

:20:13. > :20:16.be wintry with thunder and lightning and hail them. Through the evening,

:20:17. > :20:21.with these range from the south-east. Clear skies across

:20:22. > :20:26.southern areas. For the north of the country, we continue with squally

:20:27. > :20:30.showers. Wintry winds and snow insulating on the hills. Suite at

:20:31. > :20:39.lower levels. Very windy across the far north. -- snow. For Wales, there

:20:40. > :20:43.will be sunshine around. We persist with some of those squally showers

:20:44. > :20:48.in the north, and later, rain coming in as well from the west. Parts of

:20:49. > :20:53.Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England and northern wilds. For

:20:54. > :20:58.Christmas Day, we have a weather front sinking south, and that will

:20:59. > :21:02.have bring in it -- northern wilds. Across southern counties of England

:21:03. > :21:10.and Wales, a dark start, but it will brighten. Then the wider front --

:21:11. > :21:15.weather front console. Mist date where ever you are. We might even

:21:16. > :21:20.see a record breaking temperatures. We have to beat 15.6dC. Somewhere

:21:21. > :21:24.could hit 16. If it is somewhere like Aberdeen, then we could have

:21:25. > :21:29.the highest temperatures recorded on Christmas Day. As the weather front

:21:30. > :21:33.goes through, cold air follows behind. We could even see wintry

:21:34. > :21:37.mess. We could also have a white Christmas before Christmas Day is

:21:38. > :21:41.there. Loads is happening with the weather over the next few days,

:21:42. > :21:45.especially windy across the north of the country for the next few days. I

:21:46. > :21:50.can't believe there's temperatures for Sunday. You will not need your

:21:51. > :21:56.scarf and gloves then. Not on Sunday. But on Christmas Day. But

:21:57. > :22:04.you do this morning, John. We have been won. I like the scarf. But she

:22:05. > :22:08.will be sweating on Christmas Day. It is six months to the day

:22:09. > :22:11.since one of the biggest decisions in UK politics -

:22:12. > :22:14.the vote to leave the EU. It feels longer than that. A lot has

:22:15. > :22:19.happened in six months. With two days until Christmas,

:22:20. > :22:22.our special Breakfast panel have arranged to meet up

:22:23. > :22:25.for a festive lunch and talk through their reaction to the vote,

:22:26. > :22:28.and the progress made so far. Everyone has brought their own

:22:29. > :22:30.Brexit-themed dessert including a red, white

:22:31. > :22:32.and blue cheeseboard, and a "have your cake

:22:33. > :22:44.and eat it" sponge! We start serving in about two

:22:45. > :22:51.minutes, take the tricky out. This was the deal. A Polish rest assure

:22:52. > :23:01.cooks the main meal and the Brexit panel brings desert -- that matter.

:23:02. > :23:06.We have the sponge cake, which is take back control of our borders. I

:23:07. > :23:10.have bought K. Already different countries in the European Union are

:23:11. > :23:18.trying to purge our businesses. We have costed to take control of ?359

:23:19. > :23:22.a week. -- custard. I bought an occupier. This is especially for all

:23:23. > :23:27.of those Brits in the UK who think you can have your cake and eat it. I

:23:28. > :23:32.think Brexit is bananas. We are going to get a red, white and blue

:23:33. > :23:40.Brexit, whatever that means. Very tasty. My wife made it. Britain

:23:41. > :23:46.voted to leave the EU six months ago today. Our Brexit panel is split

:23:47. > :23:56.50-50, half in and half out. Time for a cracker. Brexit means... It is

:23:57. > :24:02.difficult because we don't know what the plane is. For example, the red,

:24:03. > :24:08.white and blue, what does that mean? That is just a soundbite that means

:24:09. > :24:13.absolutely nothing. The UK has been accused of dragging their feet. Had

:24:14. > :24:20.we know what is going on? It is not public knowledge. When you get

:24:21. > :24:26.Johnson and Nigel Farage and so on insulting these countries and the

:24:27. > :24:30.project, to be honest... You can be respectful for the promised of the

:24:31. > :24:38.country. One that you negotiate and outre deals with. That went well.

:24:39. > :24:44.Time for another crack? Free trade, discuss. If we are going to be in

:24:45. > :24:49.the single market, we have to accept free movement of people, part of the

:24:50. > :24:53.four principles of the EU. Free movement of labour is not

:24:54. > :24:58.necessarily the problem, it is the free movement of people, which is a

:24:59. > :25:02.huge difference. Healthcare, if we sent all of those carers out

:25:03. > :25:08.tomorrow, the whole social care... What they want to do is control the

:25:09. > :25:13.situation. The point of controlling it so that we can plan our

:25:14. > :25:20.citizenship. But big borders open, how can we plan our infrastructure?

:25:21. > :25:30.Immigration, I don't think it will be stopped. You can't stop it. Oh,

:25:31. > :25:36.dear. Do we dare one final cracker? What have we got? All I want for

:25:37. > :25:40.Christmas... What I would like for Christmas would be a British

:25:41. > :25:46.agricultural policy so that we are actually able to promote British

:25:47. > :25:51.produce. What I want for Christmas, for people to understand we polish

:25:52. > :25:59.are happy in this country, and whatever happen good about the UK,

:26:00. > :26:03.make me happy. -- Polish. So our panel and is in agreement, roll on

:26:04. > :26:06.Article 50 and the start of negotiations.

:26:07. > :26:08.Breakfast's Graham Satchell with that report, and we'd

:26:09. > :26:10.like to say a special thanks to Sheffield University

:26:11. > :26:14.for hosting our Brexit panel Christmas dinner.

:26:15. > :26:23.It surprised me when I found out it was filmed there. It looked a bit

:26:24. > :26:27.posh to me, not like I remembered. The canteen at my university was

:26:28. > :26:29.nothing like that. But it was a while ago. Things have changed.

:26:30. > :26:30.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:26:31. > :26:35.If you're planning to pick up your turkey and sprouts today,

:26:36. > :26:45.I thought of going to a supermarket today... It scares me witless.

:26:46. > :26:48.Ben's out at a supermarket for us this morning,

:26:49. > :26:50.on what's predicted to be the busiest food shopping day

:26:51. > :27:01.Good morning. Good morning. I drew the short store this morning. I have

:27:02. > :27:06.your wrists, and the sprouts are coming -- short straw. Good morning

:27:07. > :27:13.from commentary, we are doing last-minute Christmas shopping.

:27:14. > :27:17.People coming in to pick up the last minute things. Sprouts, carrots,

:27:18. > :27:21.potatoes, all for the Christmas shop. It is expected to be the

:27:22. > :27:26.busiest shopping day of the entire year. This place is a 24-hour

:27:27. > :27:40.supermarket. The aisles are full. It is not even 6:30 this morning. The

:27:41. > :27:43.11 o'clock time this money is expected to be busiest, when they

:27:44. > :27:48.are expecting most people through the doors picking up all of this

:27:49. > :27:52.sort of stuff. In the UK, we go a little bit crazy this time of year.

:27:53. > :27:57.On average, a family spends about ?800 on their Christmas shopping,

:27:58. > :28:01.much than anyone else. About double the European average. It is making

:28:02. > :28:04.sure all of this stuff is in the shops and on the shelves at the

:28:05. > :28:10.right time. This placed on eBay have run out of tinsel already. Today it

:28:11. > :28:16.is all about the fresh food produce -- have told me they have run out

:28:17. > :28:20.of. We will be joined by a Turkish farmer about how they get everything

:28:21. > :28:26.on the shelves like this. -- Turkey. While I'll leave you to get on with

:28:27. > :28:28.what you are doing this morning, I would do the rest of the shopping,

:28:29. > :31:47.but before that, let's get the news, I'm back with the latest

:38:00. > :38:03.owners, you need big performances, they're not getting that and picking

:38:04. > :38:09.up points and the reality is, in top-flight football, if you're not

:38:14. > :38:15.will talk about that in a moment, maybe they have done that because

:38:16. > :38:19.there are potential candidates waiting in the wings that could

:40:10. > :40:12.he wrapped up the match with an 11 dart leg.

:40:13. > :40:20.Always a great scene at the Ally Pally for the darts. You know it's

:40:21. > :40:25.Christmas. You can see it, the run up for Christmas and the final is on

:40:26. > :40:30.the second of January. Expect more wild scenes at the Ally Pally. And

:40:31. > :40:32.crazy names. That's the game, you make up your own names. Of that

:40:33. > :40:32.game. Let's return now to that incident

:40:33. > :40:35.on the Isle of Sheppey, where up to 60 inmates temporarily

:40:36. > :40:39.took control of a wing of Swaleside It's the fourth major

:40:40. > :40:43.disturbance at an English jail in less than two months,

:40:44. > :40:46.prompting concerns over safety We can speak now to Chair

:40:47. > :40:55.of the Prison Officers Association, Mike Rolfe, who is outside

:40:56. > :41:04.Swaleside Prison this morning. Thank you for joining us. Let's talk

:41:05. > :41:09.about the latest disturbance. How significant and serious was it, what

:41:10. > :41:14.do we know happened? Of it was quite a violent incident, as you would

:41:15. > :41:18.expect, prisoners taking control of the wing is never a situation we

:41:19. > :41:22.want to be in and they were able to cause a fair amount of damage to the

:41:23. > :41:26.wing. But we have to commend the staff, they were able to contain the

:41:27. > :41:31.prisoners into one area of the wing before they had to retreat for their

:41:32. > :41:37.own safety. Was it a surprise it would happen at this particular

:41:38. > :41:40.prison? No, not really. There are similar simmering tensions around

:41:41. > :41:44.the estate, what happened at Swaleside last night we believe

:41:45. > :41:47.could happen at any number of prisons up and down the country at

:41:48. > :41:51.any time but Swaleside is a particularly tough prison to work

:41:52. > :41:56.at. The staff recruitment and retention has been poor over the

:41:57. > :41:59.last two years, they've lost lots of experienced staff and new recruits

:42:00. > :42:04.haven't wanted to stick the drop out because of the toxic nature of the

:42:05. > :42:09.job. The job that you're all doing, toxic. What could have prevented

:42:10. > :42:14.this from happening, could anything have prevented it? Absolutely. The

:42:15. > :42:18.government should have resourced prisons properly. We've been warning

:42:19. > :42:22.for over six years of the incident is likely to happen in our prisons

:42:23. > :42:26.and it's coming to fruition now. They didn't heed our concerns when

:42:27. > :42:30.we warned them early enough and they aren't listening now so they need to

:42:31. > :42:33.buck up and start listening to what we're saying and hopefully we can

:42:34. > :42:37.avoid similar incidents to what happened here last night. They say

:42:38. > :42:41.they're listening and acting and they have this in hand and their

:42:42. > :42:44.reforming the way prisons work, they say that's under way and there will

:42:45. > :42:49.be incidents but we should be thinking about the future and

:42:50. > :42:54.dealing with this? About I refused that a little bit actually to be

:42:55. > :42:59.fair because all we've heard from ministers is big, bold statements up

:43:00. > :43:06.until now. -- I refused. We've been recruiting en masse for two years.

:43:07. > :43:10.-- refute. They tell us they want to recruit up to 8000 prison officers

:43:11. > :43:14.in the next two years to replace the gaps currently there, the people

:43:15. > :43:18.leaving, and also to bring up these 2500 but they're really not offering

:43:19. > :43:22.any packages or incentives to get people to work in prisons. When you

:43:23. > :43:26.see incidents like the one last night, why would you want to work in

:43:27. > :43:29.the Prison Service unless it's an attractive package? When you hear

:43:30. > :43:37.there's been an incident like the one last night, inside you you

:43:38. > :43:40.secretly think, this isn't a bag thing because it backs up our

:43:41. > :43:44.argument and gives us a platform to say what we want and promote our own

:43:45. > :43:48.cause -- bad thing. Absolutely not. Obviously we are a responsible trade

:43:49. > :43:52.union, our members are a very responsible and professional set of

:43:53. > :43:56.people and we care deeply about the service we run. But we need to

:43:57. > :43:59.highlight to the public that we haven't been supported and funded

:44:00. > :44:03.properly and the only way to turn that around is to get the right

:44:04. > :44:06.investment in place and we need to get that message across clear to

:44:07. > :44:10.government that we will see more incidents like this unless they

:44:11. > :44:17.start to listen, but we don't want this to be happening. We want our

:44:18. > :44:21.prisons to be safe and we want them to be places of reform where we can

:44:22. > :44:26.turn the lights around of prisoners and we want them to be safe as well.

:44:27. > :44:29.Do you think this will be more common in the weeks to come -- the

:44:30. > :44:33.lives of. There's every chance of that and I would really like to

:44:34. > :44:36.appeal to prisoners on that basis. What their actions are doing is

:44:37. > :44:39.probably making the situation worse for themselves. Prisoners watching

:44:40. > :44:44.this programme, it would be useful if they understood that by keeping a

:44:45. > :44:48.good working relationship with staff, things will get easier and

:44:49. > :44:52.better over time as we work with the government to bring improvements.

:44:53. > :44:55.You're right, at the moment we are fearful about copycat incidents and

:44:56. > :45:01.other incidents around the estate. There's nothing in place to stop

:45:02. > :45:04.that at this minute in time. Mike, from the Prison Officers

:45:05. > :45:09.Association, thank you for joining us.

:46:47. > :46:52.Northern Isles. Up to 90 mph. Likely to be damaging, and wherever you

:46:53. > :46:57.are, it will be windy. Take note. Across Scotland at nine o'clock, we

:46:58. > :47:03.have rainy coming south-east. Some will be heavy with hill snow. That

:47:04. > :47:08.same rain getting in across England. Right down to Kent into the Midlands

:47:09. > :47:12.towards Hampshire, it is dry. One or two showers, but they are the

:47:13. > :47:16.exception rather than the rule. Into south-west England, a lot of dry

:47:17. > :47:22.weather. For Wales, a lot of dry weather. The wind is picking up by

:47:23. > :47:26.nine o'clock. For Northern Ireland, you have the same band of rain

:49:08. > :49:12.temperatures in some parts of the country on Christmas Day. We could

:49:13. > :49:16.hit something like 16 Celsius in Aberdeen. If that happens, it will

:49:17. > :49:21.be the highest temperature recorded on Christmas Day. As the cold front

:49:22. > :49:25.goes through, colder air follows behind, and it looks like somewhere

:49:26. > :49:30.like Aberdeen or in the Highlands may see a white Christmas. That is

:49:31. > :49:36.unusual to have the highest temperature recorded and then a

:49:37. > :49:39.white Christmas all in the same day. It is absolutely bizarre. I would

:49:40. > :49:45.have thought it would be too warm for snow with those temperatures. I

:49:46. > :49:50.know you like winter being winter. This is not your ideal temperature

:49:51. > :49:55.for Christmas. No, I like to be cold and crisp. I would love snow. We are

:49:56. > :50:00.more likely to get snow at Easter if it falls early than Christmas. It

:50:01. > :50:08.looks very quiet there at home and garden. Don't do that, people will

:50:18. > :50:24.on, I'm sure. Give it an hour. See you soon. It will be heaving pretty

:50:25. > :50:36.much everywhere. It is the busiest food shopping day of the year. An

:50:37. > :50:40.estimated 10 million people will be hitting the supermarkets. We need

:50:41. > :50:46.someone to do our shopping for Christmas. He volunteered, I'm sure.

:50:47. > :51:02.Good morning. How come I drew the short straw and

:51:03. > :51:06.came down here? 10 million expected to hit the supermarkets over the

:51:07. > :51:10.course of the day to make sure we have everything we need. Gary and

:51:11. > :51:16.Suzanne are with me. You have a lot in your trolley already. What do you

:51:17. > :51:21.still need? Everything. I have my vegetables and everything organised

:51:22. > :51:28.in very. -- theory. Any last-minute bargains as well. Do you always

:51:29. > :51:34.leave at this way? I normally don't. This is unusual for me. Who is

:51:35. > :51:38.usually responsible? I am, but circumstances are different.

:51:39. > :51:46.Hilliard. I have someone to push the trolley and unload everything --

:51:47. > :51:53.brilliant. Have a good Christmas. What do people need? Why are people

:51:54. > :51:59.here? This is a 24-hour so they have been here all night. Claire is with

:52:00. > :52:05.me. I need an expert. Good morning. How important is today for shoppers

:52:06. > :52:09.and the supermarkets? With the four day weekend coming, because of the

:52:10. > :52:13.way Christmas Man City, it may be the last opportunity before they are

:52:14. > :52:17.spending family time to do their fresh food shopping. For the

:52:18. > :52:24.supermarkets, this is the big day. People buying their fresh fruit and

:52:25. > :52:28.vegetables and meat. It is an opportunity to maximise sales.

:52:29. > :52:32.Running out of stock is not an option. Overstocking is not an

:52:33. > :52:37.option either because could go out of date by Boxing Day. They have to

:52:38. > :52:41.get this right, because they will have to get rid of it cheap and make

:52:42. > :52:46.a loss. But they don't want to see empty shelves with people coming in.

:53:13. > :53:19.out. Edward is a turkey farmer. Good to see you. You know all about this.

:53:20. > :53:25.When did you start planning for this time of year? We have to order our

:53:26. > :53:35.turkey early based on sales from last year. How many do you sell on

:53:36. > :53:40.average? 2000 turkeys. We do about 1700 one raised and about 300 free

:53:41. > :53:44.range. For people who have turkey at home, top tip to cook at this

:53:45. > :53:49.Christmas? For the first hour of cooking time, put it upside down so

:53:50. > :53:53.the breast meat soaks in the juices, then turn it over an hour later so

:53:54. > :53:58.it is nice and moist and you don't have dried turkey. Thank you. We

:53:59. > :54:02.will chat to you later. I have most things you set me up for this

:54:03. > :54:09.morning. I have the crackers, wrapping paper, sprouts, so let me

:54:10. > :54:12.know if there is anything else. I am not coming back here again later.

:54:13. > :54:22.Everybody needs Cranberries, apparently. You better go back down

:54:23. > :54:27.there. OK. See you in a bit. He is so good with the shopping. Very

:54:28. > :54:33.good. We will talk to him again later. Those turkey tips, we have

:54:34. > :54:35.the winner of Masterchef two. -- as well.

:54:36. > :54:38.Throughout the year we've had all sorts of famous people

:54:39. > :54:40.on the Breakfast sofa - politicians, performers

:54:41. > :54:44.but more often than not the stories that touch us and you at home

:54:45. > :54:46.the most are the stories of ordinary people doing

:54:47. > :55:26.We knew we were going to get here. We are so proud of what we have

:55:27. > :55:28.done. Would you say you have a positive attitude? Yes. I just have

:55:29. > :56:01.an attitude. Who has inspired you of the guests

:56:02. > :56:06.you have met and seen this year? You have interviewed a lot of people. It

:56:07. > :56:10.is really difficult to pick someone. I was asked this last night. He

:56:11. > :56:16.first person that popped into my head was Nick Skelton, the horse

:56:17. > :56:20.jumping champion. At the age of 58, this year, he won gold at the

:56:21. > :56:28.Olympics. His seventh Olympic Games. The year I was born, in 1975, he was

:56:29. > :56:33.taking to team silvers, and 58, he has come back from numerous injuries

:56:34. > :56:38.and smashed it gold. I just remember his face when he received that

:56:39. > :56:42.medal, and the emotion in his face. I thought, his absolute proof that

:56:43. > :56:46.if you stick to something, you stay passionate about something, you can

:56:47. > :56:53.achieve anything. I feel emotional talking about. And seeing him at the

:57:02. > :57:05.marathon is to raise charity. It was nice to meet him this year. -- BBC.

:57:06. > :57:11.So this morning we're asking who or what has insprired you?

:57:12. > :57:15.And we will be joined by some old friends of BBC Breakfast this

:57:16. > :57:16.morning. Time now to get the news,

:03:28. > :03:32.to get a sense of what went on behind the doors there. What are you

:03:33. > :03:36.learning? A clearer sense of what happened last night is coming to

:03:37. > :03:40.light. The Prison Officers Association are saying there were

:03:41. > :03:45.disputes yesterday between inmates and prison staff over how many hours

:03:46. > :03:49.people will be locked up over Christmas and also raids of cells

:07:39. > :07:40.Our reporter Frankie McCamley, who is at Junction

:07:41. > :07:52.There have been quite a few busy days with lots going to work as

:07:53. > :07:57.well, but plenty getting away as well? Yes, Naga, and it's getting

:07:58. > :08:01.quite busy on the roads this morning. The M6 where we are

:08:02. > :08:06.standing is one of the busiest and most important motorways in the

:08:07. > :08:10.country, it links London to places like Manchester, Birmingham and

:08:11. > :08:14.roads up into Scotland. This area is especially busy because you get lots

:08:15. > :08:19.of motorways merging so you get a bit of a bottleneck. Around 12

:08:20. > :08:26.million people are expected to take to the roads today. There are things

:08:27. > :08:31.to help ease congestion, 450 miles of road works are being taken down

:08:32. > :08:37.but the strikes on the rails and the planes may make more people take

:08:38. > :08:40.their cars. The advice is that your travel time may be longer than

:08:41. > :08:45.planned so take extra supplies, take water and food with you so you can

:08:46. > :08:49.get to where you're planning to go this Christmas on time. Sensible

:08:50. > :08:51.words! Thanks, frankly, we will speak to you later.

:08:52. > :08:57.We're joined now by Mark Carne, Chief Executive of Network Rail,

:08:58. > :09:01.who is at London Paddington Station for us this morning.

:09:02. > :09:08.It sounds like Paddington in and out becomes a bit of an issue from later

:09:09. > :09:11.tonight, is that right? We're going to be shutting Paddington later

:09:12. > :09:16.tonight for the next six days to allow us to do some of the huge

:09:17. > :09:22.improvement works that we need to do to allow Crossrail to happen. There

:09:23. > :09:25.will be other stations that will be closing over the next few days as

:09:26. > :09:29.well. It's really important people checked before they travel so they

:09:30. > :09:34.can make their journeys successfully. It's been a terrible

:09:35. > :09:37.few weeks on the railways with strikes and delays on macro

:09:38. > :09:41.southern. How are you going to reassure passengers that it's not

:09:42. > :09:44.going to be a nightmare, not just today with the getaway but for

:09:45. > :09:50.people trying to get around and home again at the end of Christmas? I

:09:51. > :09:55.totally share the frustration. I think the strikes in the last few

:09:56. > :10:00.weeks have really been hugely damaging for passengers and it has

:10:01. > :10:04.blighted their lives in many cases and I hope there will be a

:10:05. > :10:08.resolution to that in the near future. Over the next few days it's

:10:09. > :10:13.important to remember that 90% of the railway is still open and 90% of

:10:14. > :10:18.services will be unaffected and open, but because of this huge

:10:19. > :10:21.programme of works... We have 24,000 people out in the next few days

:10:22. > :10:26.doing these engineering works and it's important people checked to

:10:27. > :10:31.make sure their journey isn't going to be affected. If your journey is

:10:32. > :10:34.affected and you wanted to go in and out of Paddington over the next six

:10:35. > :10:38.days, what do you say to those people who say why do you have to do

:10:39. > :10:42.it at Christmas when people are making crucial journeys and want to

:10:43. > :10:47.spend every moment they can with their families? Allowed if you want

:10:48. > :10:52.to leave to head to the West Country you still can, but what you have to

:10:53. > :10:56.do is go to Ealing Broadway, just a short distance down the track and

:10:57. > :10:59.you can catch your train from there. It's not affecting the train

:11:00. > :11:04.services going to the West Country, it just means people will need to go

:11:05. > :11:09.to a different station. Were making every effort we can with our train

:11:10. > :11:14.operating colleagues to run the services in the best way we can --

:11:15. > :11:19.we're making. The reality is this is the best time of year for us to do

:11:20. > :11:22.this kind of engineering project because the numbers of people

:11:23. > :11:28.travelling by train is about half what it is on a normal weekend or a

:11:29. > :11:33.normal day. This is the time of year when we can do this sort of work and

:13:57. > :13:59.Let's get the latest now on the big Christmas getaway and hopefully give

:14:00. > :14:03.you all the information you need on the hotspots to steer clear

:14:04. > :14:09.Let's speak to the Independent's travel editor

:14:10. > :14:17.Simon Calder, who joins us now from Paddington Station in London.

:14:18. > :14:23.Simon, we were hearing all about the trains earlier. Lots of people

:14:24. > :14:30.planning on the getaway now. What do they need to be mindful of? Let's

:14:31. > :14:34.start with the planes. The good news is British Airways reached an

:14:35. > :14:38.agreement with Unite, the union, last night meaning the cabin crew

:14:39. > :14:43.strike due to start on Christmas Day and run through to Boxing Day

:14:44. > :14:51.involving some crew at Heathrow has been suspended, so no affect there.

:14:52. > :14:57.Of course Swissport, there ground staff... Virgin Atlantic pilots have

:14:58. > :15:01.a work to rule today but they said the flights won't be affected so the

:15:02. > :15:07.strikes that could cause problems are on Southern Rail, an overtime

:15:08. > :15:11.ban by drivers will affect services to and from Gatwick in particular.

:15:12. > :15:15.If you're lucky enough to be going to Paris, don't expect to be able to

:15:16. > :15:21.hail a taxi to date because they're on strike as well. Simon, we spoke

:15:22. > :15:24.about what happened at Paddington but are there any other issues on

:15:25. > :15:35.the railways? Plenty of rail disruption. If you

:15:36. > :15:38.missed the last train to Cardiff Central, you will have to wait until

:15:39. > :15:47.the next one, Michigan at Immingham Broadway. -- unless you go to

:15:48. > :15:51.Ealing. Norwich will be busy today because there are no trains running

:15:52. > :15:55.up to Colchester, Ipswich and Norwich until the New Year. Lots of

:15:56. > :16:00.work happening around the Cardiff area, and also in Manchester. As

:16:01. > :16:05.normal services will be winding down on Christmas Eve, ahead of the

:16:06. > :16:09.normal two-day shutdown, there is a skeleton service of trains running

:16:10. > :16:14.in very few parts of the UK on Boxing Day. The buses keep going and

:16:15. > :16:19.National Express comic they have more buses running on Christmas Day

:16:20. > :16:24.than ever before -- told me. Flying will be the busiest day of the

:16:25. > :16:31.festive season at most big British airports. Written, Gatwick,

:16:32. > :16:41.Stansted, Edinburgh, Manchester, and long queues for security -- return.

:16:42. > :16:49.-- Luton. Don't put snow globes in your luggage. Do not take wrapped

:16:50. > :16:54.presents in your luggage because they may get unwrapped. Be prepared

:16:55. > :17:00.for a bit of delay and disruption, especially if you're heading for the

:17:01. > :17:05.North of Scotland. Thank you for the tips, Simon. Have a lovely

:17:06. > :17:12.Christmas. Thank you very much. He has to bring his own presence. That

:17:13. > :17:15.is sad. That is my present. Do you reckon? We have had all of these

:17:16. > :17:20.forecasts of storm Barbra hitting the UK over the Christmas period and

:17:21. > :17:26.how bad that will be. Let's go to Covent Garden. Carol is there with a

:17:27. > :17:28.very Christmas weather. Carol and storm Barbra, maybe? She's not here

:17:29. > :17:37.just yet. It will be later we have the

:17:38. > :17:42.strongest winds in the south-east. We have the chandeliers and

:17:43. > :17:47.mistletoe is, 45 of those in Covent Garden this morning. We also have a

:17:48. > :17:51.fabulous tall Christmas tree, the largest hand-picked Christmas tree

:17:52. > :17:58.in London, a Norwegian spruce. You can really smell it. The Met Office

:17:59. > :18:00.has an ember weather warning out for wind for today, especially across

:18:01. > :18:05.the north and north-west of Scotland. Gusts up to 90 mph

:18:06. > :18:09.forecast for the north of mainland Scotland and the Northern Isles.

:18:10. > :18:14.Where ever you are today, it will be windy, just not as windy as that.

:18:15. > :18:19.For Scotland at nine o'clock, a lot of rain coming in. Hill snow and

:18:20. > :18:23.sleet at lower levels possible. That band of rain extending into

:18:24. > :18:28.north-west England. Danny is coast of England, a dry start as it is

:18:29. > :18:34.across the Midlands heading towards Hampshire. -- down the coast. The

:18:35. > :18:38.odd shower and drizzle. That extends towards south-west England where it

:18:39. > :18:43.is a largely dry start. A dry start across Wales. By nine o'clock, the

:18:44. > :18:48.rain starting to pick up close to the coast, and from Northern

:18:49. > :18:51.Ireland, the same rain affecting Scotland will push across Northern

:18:52. > :18:58.Ireland accompanied by strengthening winds. The strongest winds today as

:18:59. > :19:02.I mentioned, the further north and west to travel. Northern Scotland up

:19:03. > :19:09.to 90 mph. For Northern England, Northern Island and the rest of

:19:10. > :19:15.Scotland, up to 80 mph. As the rain sinks south by dust, around the

:19:16. > :19:20.rain, squally winds. About 40- 50 mph. Behind that band of rain, some

:19:21. > :19:24.showers across northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Some

:19:25. > :19:29.will be heavy with lightning and hail. Hill snow and possibly at

:19:30. > :19:33.lower levels sleet, especially in Scotland. That will continue to the

:19:34. > :19:37.course of the night. Although the winds will ease overnight in the

:19:38. > :19:42.north, it will be windy with severe gales in the extreme north. Further

:19:43. > :19:51.south and a clearer skies, a cold night. For Christmas Eve under clear

:19:52. > :19:54.skies for much of England and Wales, a fine start with a bright start.

:19:55. > :19:58.Some shower was still persisting in the northern half of the country.

:19:59. > :20:05.Later you will notice rain coming in. Christmas Day is interesting. It

:20:06. > :20:09.will still be very windy, especially across Northern Ireland, northern

:20:10. > :20:13.England and Scotland. Just not as windy as storm Barbra's winds today.

:20:14. > :20:18.We have a weather front sinking south. Before it comes out, it will

:20:19. > :20:23.be very mild. Some dry weather, but behind it, Caldaire comes in. We

:20:24. > :20:27.could hear a record-breaking temperatures for some parts on

:20:28. > :20:33.Christmas Day -- cold air. But later, the possibility of a white

:20:34. > :20:36.Christmas. Back to you. A bit of everything. See you again later.

:20:37. > :20:39.For any family with a relative who has dementia, the idea of them

:20:40. > :20:42.going missing and then needing the police's help is one

:20:43. > :20:46.In the last of our Policing Britain stories,

:20:47. > :20:50.we've found that happened at least 1,200 times in the last year alone,

:20:51. > :20:54.and it looks as if the problem is getting worse, with several

:20:55. > :20:56.forces saying they're seeing increasing numbers of people

:20:57. > :21:13.I just thought, oh, my God, where easy? I could not find him. -- where

:21:14. > :21:20.is he? I was pacing up and down until the police came. I was beside

:21:21. > :21:26.myself. Terry went missing seven weeks after their wedding. In March

:21:27. > :21:30.this year, this disappearance from a holiday caravan in Cumbria triggered

:21:31. > :21:35.a huge manhunt. He went missing at two PM and at two AM he was still

:21:36. > :21:39.missing? Yes. My thoughts were just with him, what was going to this

:21:40. > :21:45.mind. You knew he would have been distressed. Yes. He could have been

:21:46. > :21:50.lying in a ditch somewhere, it was heartbreaking. -- through his mind.

:21:51. > :21:56.He had no coat on and it was close to freezing. Terry was eventually

:21:57. > :22:01.found ten miles away after a 13 hour search. I threw my arms around him

:22:02. > :22:09.and said, where have you been? He said, I don't know. Sergeant Oliver

:22:10. > :22:14.was part of the search party. It was around 60 people involving the

:22:15. > :22:18.coastguard, police, mountain rescue teams, the helicopter from

:22:19. > :22:22.Lancaster, and police across different shifts. In Cumbria,

:22:23. > :22:28.reports of missing people with dementia have increased by 152%

:22:29. > :22:32.since 2012. With 89 searches so far this year. Police Scotland said they

:22:33. > :22:38.respond to at least one report a day. They had 253 reports since

:22:39. > :22:45.April. And six has in the highest number of searches in England with

:22:46. > :22:49.190 so far -- Essex. In Wales, they have created a scheme which cuts

:22:50. > :22:54.search time. It is named after a pensioner who lived here. Tommy

:22:55. > :22:58.about George Herbert. He was a resident here with us. He fought in

:22:59. > :23:03.the second world world and took part in the Normandy landings. He was a

:23:04. > :23:08.wonder. Yes, he was. The Germans could not stop him and career.

:23:09. > :23:12.Police was so frequently called to help find George around Wales, they

:23:13. > :23:18.devise the Herbert protocol in his name. It is a way of collecting

:23:19. > :23:24.information from nursing homes before someone goes missing. They

:23:25. > :23:28.will have details of their previous home addresses, previous places of

:23:29. > :23:31.work, what they have been talking about recently, photographs, and

:23:32. > :23:37.that information can be given to as quickly. If the weather is bad, that

:23:38. > :23:42.can save someone's life. The Herbert protocol developed right here will

:23:43. > :23:45.help police find people much quicker, but the charity darter

:23:46. > :23:50.missing people says more could be done to stop them going missing.

:23:51. > :23:54.They say they should be in automatic referral to social services the

:23:55. > :23:57.first time anybody show signs of wandering. Without that, they

:23:58. > :24:01.believe they are missed opportunities to protect people.

:24:02. > :24:05.Terry's dementia has deteriorated and he is no longer able to live at

:24:06. > :24:09.home. But nursing homes are not meant to be presence. You can't lock

:24:10. > :24:13.people in. With the number of dementia sufferers set to rise to

:24:14. > :24:15.over 1 million x two dozen 25, this problem is likely to become more of

:24:16. > :24:20.a problem. -- by 2025. Deputy Chief Constable Tim

:24:21. > :24:22.Madgwick joins us now. He's the National Police Chiefs'

:24:23. > :24:34.Council lead on dementia. Good morning. Hearing stories like

:24:35. > :24:38.this, it is heartbreaking. I think anyone watching this morning will

:24:39. > :24:44.realise that fee you have of someone going missing. We saw the Herbert

:24:45. > :24:49.procedure being put in place. We are hearing 1200 people in the last year

:24:50. > :24:56.reported missing. And it will far exceed that. We have about 1000

:24:57. > :25:04.people a week missing nationally. Of that, around 15% are linked to

:25:05. > :25:08.dementia or old-age. Which is tragic for them and deeply worrying for

:25:09. > :25:11.their families, but also for you as police officers, you have other

:25:12. > :25:17.demands on their time and it is hugely time-consuming. It is. That

:25:18. > :25:22.is why the Herbert protocol was so effective. We are seeing an increase

:25:23. > :25:26.in demand and social care issues across the country are well

:25:27. > :25:31.documented. They are having an impact on policing resources, and a

:25:32. > :25:36.huge impact on the families. And on staff as well. A lot of the sadly

:25:37. > :25:40.and tragically. We are conscious we have to respond especially to the

:25:41. > :25:44.most vulnerable and elderly. How quickly can you respond? Where does

:25:45. > :25:51.it lie in the pecking order of police priorities? It is pretty high

:25:52. > :25:55.up there. Anyone with dementia who goes missing, said last night, would

:25:56. > :26:00.be given a high risk status. We would apply a lot of resources. If

:26:01. > :26:04.we were called at ten o'clock at night being told an elderly

:26:05. > :26:08.gentleman had gone missing, we would apply whatever resources we have. We

:26:09. > :26:12.only have a couple of hours to find them. A typical scenario is they

:26:13. > :26:16.have gone out walking with very few close. They don't dress themselves

:26:17. > :26:21.properly, they just go out and go back to some location from ladies.

:26:22. > :26:25.They are out in the middle of the night in winter. Only a couple of

:26:26. > :26:32.hours and the results can be tragic -- from their youth. Using mobile

:26:33. > :26:36.phones were checking -- with tracking devices makes it easy to

:26:37. > :26:39.pinpoint, but there are issues with human rights and freedom. Is that

:26:40. > :26:47.something you would consider? We would consider it, but the principle

:26:48. > :26:51.is safety and security of the individual concerned. We would only

:26:52. > :26:58.to work with the consent of their carers, fairly. It is difficult in

:26:59. > :27:01.the advanced age of dementia -- family. We use technology where it

:27:02. > :27:06.is appropriate. It could be very useful. We are going to do some

:27:07. > :27:11.tracking work with Charlotte in New York and Yorkshire, where I'm from.

:27:12. > :27:15.We will look at that. It only works when you have a mobile phone. But

:27:16. > :27:19.there are other ways we can bring technology to cut down that period

:27:20. > :27:24.from when they go missing to refine them. It is misled the critical hour

:27:25. > :27:29.in any sort of response. With elderly people, especially in

:27:30. > :27:33.winter, I get eaten up very quickly -- it is like the critical hour.

:27:34. > :27:35.Thank you. You're watching

:27:36. > :27:38.Breakfast from BBC News. If you're planning to pick

:27:39. > :27:50.up your turkey and sprouts today I'm not. I would not go to a

:27:51. > :27:53.supermarket today. You are getting it delivered.

:27:54. > :27:55.Ben's out at a supermarket for us this morning,

:27:56. > :27:58.on what's predicted to be the busiest food shopping day

:27:59. > :28:06.He is in his element, at the check-in already. Good morning. I

:28:07. > :28:11.have your cranberry sauce. You asked me for that earlier. Good morning.

:28:12. > :28:16.Welcome to Coventry. It is the busiest shopping day of the year. 10

:28:17. > :28:20.million of us expected to come to the supermarket today to stock up on

:28:21. > :28:24.all of those things we probably forgot. Brussels sprouts going to

:28:25. > :28:29.the checkout. Mince pies. They are being sold today. Pigs in blankets.

:28:30. > :28:34.Thousands of millions to be sold. The busiest shopping day of the

:28:35. > :28:39.year, the staff during up for it in their 24 hour supermarket. While I

:28:40. > :28:43.checkout everything you Tommy to buy, I will have top tips in the

:28:44. > :32:02.next half-hour, but let's get the news,

:32:03. > :32:19.Time to hand you back to BBC Breakfast.

:32:20. > :32:22.Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.

:32:23. > :32:24.The Prison Service says specialist guards have resolved a disturbance

:32:25. > :32:27.at Swaleside jail in Kent, the fourth major incident

:32:28. > :32:29.at an English prison in less than two months.

:32:30. > :32:32.Fires were lit when around 60 inmates took control of part

:32:33. > :32:35.of one wing yesterday evening, but they were returned

:32:36. > :32:48.The Prison Service says it's committed to making sure our prisons

:32:49. > :32:49.are stable while delivering wholesale reforms.

:32:50. > :32:51.Earlier on Breakfast, Chair of the Prison Officers

:32:52. > :33:00.Association Mike Rolfe said these incidents were inevitable.

:33:01. > :33:03.We've been warning for over six years of the incident is likely

:33:04. > :33:06.to happen in our prisons and it's coming to fruition now.

:33:07. > :33:10.They didn't heed our concerns when we warned them early enough

:33:11. > :33:14.and they aren't listening now so they need to buck up their trend

:33:15. > :33:16.now and start listening to what we're saying

:33:17. > :33:19.and hopefully we can avoid similar incidents to what happened

:33:20. > :33:24.Two men have been arrested in Germany on suspicion of planning

:33:25. > :33:27.an attack on a shopping centre near the Dutch border.

:33:28. > :33:29.The brothers were detained early this morning

:33:30. > :33:31.Germany is on high alert after Monday's market attack

:33:32. > :33:33.in Berlin, which left 12 people dead.

:33:34. > :33:35.Authorities have issued an arrest-warrant for Tunisian man

:33:36. > :33:38.Anis Amri, whose fingerprints were found in the truck

:33:39. > :33:41.12 million drivers are expected on the roads today

:33:42. > :33:45.This weekend also sees 200 sets of rail engineering works

:33:46. > :33:49.Services mainly affected are in and out of London,

:33:50. > :33:52.Manchester and Cardiff but it will be busy however you travel over

:33:53. > :33:56.Drivers are likely to face tailbacks while record numbers of people

:33:57. > :33:59.are expected to pass though airports across Britain as they leave

:34:00. > :34:07.the country for Christmas and New Year.

:34:08. > :34:12.We will be talking more about the trouble spots and the hotspots

:34:13. > :34:14.through the programme. We will be with you right here every morning,

:34:15. > :34:14.though! The Government is injecting

:34:15. > :34:17.?60 million a year to help

:34:18. > :34:18.first-time buyers get a foot on the housing ladder in areas

:34:19. > :34:21.where locals are crowded out Housing Minister Gavin Barwell

:34:22. > :34:26.said the cash would be channelled through local councils

:34:27. > :34:28.to community-led groups The south-west will

:34:29. > :34:33.receive the most funding. The shadow Housing Minister says it

:34:34. > :34:42.doesn't go far enough. We were talking about people not

:34:43. > :34:47.sending Christmas cards like they used to. Here's a story about a

:34:48. > :34:53.young man who has an awful lot of cards operate its lovely.

:34:54. > :34:57.-- awful lot of Christmas cards. It's lovely.

:34:58. > :35:00.A five-year-old boy with cancer has received over 200,000 Christmas

:35:01. > :35:04.Bradley Lowery's Christmas wish is to receive as many cards

:35:05. > :35:07.as possible and people from all around the world have responded.

:35:08. > :35:09.Truckloads of mail have been delivered to his home.

:35:10. > :35:12.Bradley, who has cancer, was adopted by Sunderland Football Club

:35:13. > :35:17.as their mascot at two high profile games.

:35:18. > :35:22.That puts Christmas into perspective! Happy Christmas and I

:35:23. > :35:24.hope the cards keep on coming. Duke got to find enough cards for all of

:35:25. > :35:30.those! Coming up on the programme Carol

:35:31. > :35:33.will have the weather for you. John is here with the sport,

:35:34. > :35:45.and a managerial casualty Some sympathy for anyone made

:35:50. > :35:56.and I'm sure he won't be doing too badly after redundancy but feeling

:35:57. > :36:01.pretty glum? He played at the club and he went on to manage them and

:36:02. > :36:05.the high point was the FA Cup final last season. It is a shock,

:36:06. > :36:09.especially in the Premier League, there is such a strong focus on

:36:10. > :36:13.managers and levels of expectations but if you're not performing well

:36:14. > :36:15.enough you can expect the sack and that's what's happened to Alan

:36:16. > :36:15.Pardew. Premier League side Crystal Palace

:36:16. > :36:18.have sacked manager Alan Pardew Pardew leaves the club just one

:36:19. > :36:23.place above the relegation zone. He led Palace to the FA Cup final

:36:24. > :36:27.in May but their form in the league in 2016 is the worst

:36:28. > :36:30.of all 92 Premier League Former England manager Sam Allardyce

:36:31. > :36:39.is the favourite to try to get them He's got a proven track record

:36:40. > :36:57.having never been relegated as a manager, leading Sunderland

:36:58. > :36:59.to safety last season. Other names in the frame include

:37:00. > :37:02.another former England manager Roy Hodgson and the Wales

:37:03. > :37:04.coach Chris Coleman. There are Scottish Premiership

:37:05. > :37:06.matches tonight and tomorrow but the Premier League won't be

:37:07. > :37:09.back until Boxing Day. Chelsea top the table at Christmas,

:37:10. > :37:12.and every other time they've been the festive league leaders,

:37:13. > :37:20.they've gone on to win the title. This league, there are many teams

:37:21. > :37:24.that can fight for the Champions League and for the title and four

:37:25. > :37:29.the Europa League and for this reason it's important to continue in

:37:30. > :37:38.this way. Don't stop. Don't stop. Try. Don't stop. We know it won't be

:37:39. > :37:40.easy but we have to try to continue this way with all our strength.

:37:41. > :37:42.Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova will be released

:37:43. > :37:44.from hospital today following a knife attack

:37:45. > :37:48.Kvitova needed surgery on her left hand and will miss

:37:49. > :37:53.She said on Tuesday she was fortunate to be alive.

:37:54. > :38:06.She's due to speak to the media this afternoon.

:38:07. > :38:09.Former jockey John Buckingham, who won the 1967 Grand National

:38:10. > :38:11.on board Foinavon, has died at the age of 76.

:38:12. > :38:14.One of the best known names in racing history,

:38:15. > :38:16.Foinavon won the Grand National as a 100-1 outsider.

:38:17. > :38:20.He was the only horse to escape a mass fall at the 23rd fence,

:38:21. > :38:24.one that still bears his name today, because he was trailing so far

:38:25. > :38:31.Of the 44 starters, only 18 horses finished.

:38:32. > :38:33.Dave 'Chizzy' Chisnall had a scare against 'Little John'

:38:34. > :38:36.Roby-John Rodriguez but made it through to the second

:38:37. > :38:42.round of the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace.

:38:43. > :38:47.The seventh seed almost went two sets down

:38:48. > :38:50.to the 22-year-old from Austria, but at 2-2

:38:51. > :39:01.If you've never been to the darts at Halley Pali, have a look at this,

:39:02. > :39:05.this gives you a flavour of the atmosphere you can expect -- Ally

:39:06. > :39:11.Pally. A few days out from Christmas, lots of singing, dancing

:39:12. > :39:17.and dressing up. Who are the guys in yellow? I thought they were Pudsey

:39:18. > :39:22.Bear. Apparently it's Ali G. It has me thinking about some darts

:39:23. > :39:30.nicknames. We've got Littlejohn. John Long John Watson, John calamity

:39:31. > :39:41.Kay and Naga the Eagles Munchetty. You are a diamond between two rough

:39:42. > :39:46.stones. I like it like that. -- Naga the Glamour Munchetty. Think about

:39:47. > :39:50.Carol? There is truth about you as well and we will find out later from

:39:51. > :39:53.Pasha what went on behind the scenes. I like my nickname. I Don't

:39:54. > :39:57.Like Mondays. -- I don't like mine. It is six months to the day

:39:58. > :40:01.since one of the biggest decisions in UK politics, the vote

:40:02. > :40:03.to leave the EU. With two days until Christmas,

:40:04. > :40:06.our special Breakfast panel have arranged to meet up

:40:07. > :40:09.for a festive lunch and talk through their reaction to the vote,

:40:10. > :40:14.and the progress made so far. Wait until you see what's on their

:40:15. > :40:16.menu! We start serving in maybe two

:40:17. > :40:21.minutes, take the turkey out. Damian, a Polish restaurateur,

:40:22. > :40:28.and voted out, cooks the main meal, and the rest of the Brexit

:40:29. > :40:31.panel brings dessert. I brought the trifle

:40:32. > :40:34.because it has four layers. We have the sponge cake,

:40:35. > :40:39.which is take back control Already different countries

:40:40. > :40:47.in the European Union are trying We have custard, to take control

:40:48. > :40:53.of ?359 million a week. It's a red, white

:40:54. > :40:59.and blue cheese board. This is especially for all of those

:41:00. > :41:03.Brits in the UK who think they can We are going to get a red,

:41:04. > :41:09.white and blue Brexit, Very tasty.

:41:10. > :41:15.My wife made it. Britain voted to leave the EU

:41:16. > :41:18.six months ago today. Our Brexit panel is split 50-50,

:41:19. > :41:24.half in and half out. It is difficult because we don't

:41:25. > :41:40.know what their plan is. For example, the red,

:41:41. > :41:44.white and blue, what does that mean? That is just a soundbite that

:41:45. > :41:46.means absolutely nothing. The UK has been accused

:41:47. > :41:50.of dragging their feet. When you get people like Johnson

:41:51. > :42:02.and Nigel Farage and Gove openly insulting these people

:42:03. > :42:04.and countries and the project, You can be respectful

:42:05. > :42:12.for the Prime Minister of a country. Especially one that you negotiate

:42:13. > :42:14.and make trade deals with. If we're going to be

:42:15. > :42:21.in the single market, we have to accept free movement

:42:22. > :42:24.of people, part of the four Free movement of labour is not

:42:25. > :42:28.necessarily the problem, it is the free movement of people,

:42:29. > :42:36.which is a huge difference. Take healthcare, if we sent

:42:37. > :42:40.all of those carers out tomorrow, the whole social care

:42:41. > :42:43.structure would collapse. What they want to do

:42:44. > :42:51.is control the situation. No one knows what we're

:42:52. > :42:54.talking about yet. The point of controlling

:42:55. > :42:56.it is so that we can With the borders just open,

:42:57. > :43:00.how can we plan our infrastructure? Immigration, I don't think it

:43:01. > :43:04.will be ever stopped. What I would like for Christmas

:43:05. > :43:15.would be a British agricultural policy so that we are actually able

:43:16. > :43:21.to promote British produce. What I want for Christmas,

:43:22. > :43:30.for people to understand we Polish are happy in this country,

:43:31. > :43:32.and whatever happen good I'll drink to that.

:43:33. > :43:35.Merry Christmas! So our panel ends in agreement -

:43:36. > :43:54.roll on 2017, Article 50 What have you made of it all? I

:43:55. > :43:56.wonder how much agreement there will be when they meet this time next

:43:57. > :43:56.year. Who knows? We're joined now by

:43:57. > :44:00.Professor Anand Menon, director of the think tank UK

:44:01. > :44:08.in a Changing Europe. Good morning. How have the last six

:44:09. > :44:13.months gone for you? Frantic is the word. Any more clear to you what's

:44:14. > :44:17.going to happen? Of what is clear is this is going to be all changing, it

:44:18. > :44:22.will change our politics, the way the British state works, it will

:44:23. > :44:26.change our country because the Scots and the Northern Ireland chose to

:44:27. > :44:30.stay but we don't know what Brexit means yet and we won't know until

:44:31. > :44:37.spring next year. What is the timetable for the months ahead, the

:44:38. > :44:41.new Year? In January the Supreme Court will rule and most people

:44:42. > :44:45.assume it will uphold the ruling. In February Parliament will go forward

:44:46. > :44:49.with a bill, it could be four lines or four pages, parliament will vote

:44:50. > :44:53.and once that goes through Theresa May will trigger Article 50. Is it a

:44:54. > :44:57.foregone conclusion that it goes through because there have been

:44:58. > :45:02.agreements that Parliament will vote for Brexit? Most parliamentarians

:45:03. > :45:07.get the facts because the people voted to leave the EU it would put

:45:08. > :45:11.them in an uncomfortable position to overrule, so I'm relatively certain

:45:12. > :45:15.Parliament will pass whatever legislation goes forward. I

:45:16. > :45:20.interrupted you, sorry. She will trigger Article 50 and then there

:45:21. > :45:23.will be a momentous moment of anti-climax because there's two

:45:24. > :45:26.years of negotiation, nothing will be clear this year, this will run

:45:27. > :45:31.and run because these negotiations are carried out at a technical level

:45:32. > :45:37.so we won't see them, the French and Germans have elections this year,

:45:38. > :45:41.they will be preoccupied saying they can't talk at the moment and are

:45:42. > :45:44.busy at home so this will run and run. In one answer, when the

:45:45. > :45:51.negotiations start, what's the format, is there a checklist?

:45:52. > :45:58.There is no answer. The other member states is said to Theresa May, you

:45:59. > :46:02.need to give us a list of what you want. She has been very coy about

:46:03. > :46:08.it. She will be sketchier than they would like to be. I expect the first

:46:09. > :46:14.thing to happen will be an argument about the agenda for the talks. What

:46:15. > :46:20.do you make of that, but she is being more sketchy or calling? Can

:46:21. > :46:24.she offer any answers? -- coy. It makes perfect sense. It is a big

:46:25. > :46:27.deal and will affect all aspects of this country and economy. The

:46:28. > :46:31.government is commissioning studies to see what will be best for

:46:32. > :46:35.Britain. I would not expected to have a plan yet. When she gets in

:46:36. > :46:39.the room with the other EU leaders, they will expect clarity on where

:46:40. > :46:44.Britain wants to end up and on the back of that start negotiating. The

:46:45. > :46:49.first negotiating is about living, not trade deals. It is about loose

:46:50. > :46:54.ends. What are the top three things we need to be concerned about,

:46:55. > :46:57.anyone watching at home? The thing everyone will care about most is

:46:58. > :47:01.what it means for the economy. We have already seen the pound falling.

:47:02. > :47:05.There is absolutely no way of knowing yet what Brexit means for

:47:06. > :47:10.our economy and we know what Brexit means. The first thing to do is see

:47:11. > :47:13.what happens to the economy going forward with foreign investment,

:47:14. > :47:17.ability to sign traders. The second thing is the future of the United

:47:18. > :47:21.Kingdom. Will Scotland go back to its people and say let's have a vote

:47:22. > :47:26.on independence again. The third interesting thing is the speed at

:47:27. > :47:29.which politics is changing. At the moment you have a Conservative Party

:47:30. > :47:34.holding itself together because Theresa May has not said anything

:47:35. > :47:38.specific. A Labour Party not proving especially effective in opposition.

:47:39. > :47:44.And you keep things it can profit. By-elections next you will be

:47:45. > :47:52.fascinating. It will be a busy year -- Ukip. If Brexit means Brexit,

:47:53. > :48:00.Carol 's main Carol. Carol squared. Let's go to Covent Garden.

:48:01. > :48:12.It is boldly at Covent Garden. This is a brass band playing. I will let

:48:13. > :48:17.you listen to them -- cold. That was beautiful. We will be hearing a lot

:48:18. > :48:22.more from the brass band as we go to the course of the morning. It was

:48:23. > :48:29.founded in 1895, but none of these chaps look that old. It is festive

:48:30. > :48:32.in Covent Garden. We have the tree and mistletoe chandeliers, but the

:48:33. > :48:37.weather is not festive today. We have a Met Office amber weather

:48:38. > :48:41.warning for wind. This applies to the north and north-west of

:48:42. > :48:45.Scotland, which is where we will have this strong wind, especially

:48:46. > :48:51.across the far north. We are looking at storm-force, with gusts up to 90

:48:52. > :48:55.mph. It will be a windy day where ever you are. Rain moving across

:48:56. > :49:00.Scotland. Some will be heavy with hill snow, and suite adds low

:49:01. > :49:07.levels. Also getting into north-west England -- sleet at low levels. Also

:49:08. > :49:15.towards Hampshire, a dressed up. It should restart if you are venturing

:49:16. > :49:20.out. -- dry stuff. Towards the south-west, it is dry. For Wales, a

:49:21. > :49:25.dry start with the wind is picking up close to the coast by nine

:49:26. > :49:28.o'clock. Then affecting Scotland will affect Northern Ireland this

:49:29. > :49:32.morning as it crosses. Some heavy bursts in that would be

:49:33. > :49:35.strengthening winds. The strongest winds this morning will be across

:49:36. > :49:40.western Scotland. Through the day, it picks up as the weather front

:49:41. > :49:44.Saint south. The rain on it not getting into the far south-east

:49:45. > :49:49.until around dusk. Around that band of rain, it will be very squally.

:49:50. > :49:54.The wind will pick up. Behind it, a return to showers. Across northern

:49:55. > :50:04.England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, away from the rest of

:50:05. > :50:08.England and Wales, between 40 and 50 mph wind. The rain crews overnight,

:50:09. > :50:13.and behind it, a cold night with clear skies. Strong winds across the

:50:14. > :50:19.north. Severe gales in the final. A lot of showers with snow on the

:50:20. > :50:23.hills. We will start to see accumulations there. Christmas Eve

:50:24. > :50:27.started the squally winds in the north. Bright sky and sunshine and a

:50:28. > :50:31.clear skies across England and Wales. More rain later in the day

:50:32. > :50:37.Bush in across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England and Wales.

:50:38. > :50:42.-- pushes in. We start religiously noted in the south, but it will

:50:43. > :50:46.brighten up. A relatively bright start through the day, but a windy

:50:47. > :50:50.one in the northern half of the country. Then we have a cold front

:50:51. > :50:54.sinking south. Before that happens, we will have mild air, and we could

:50:55. > :50:59.see record-breaking temperatures across part of the UK. Not

:51:00. > :51:06.everywhere. To do that, we have to be at 15.6dC, the previous record.

:51:07. > :51:09.Somewhere like Aberdeen could hit 16 Celsius. When the weather front goes

:51:10. > :51:14.through bringing rain with it, cold air will push in with it, and by the

:51:15. > :51:17.end of the day, some parts of north Scotland could have a white

:51:18. > :51:24.Christmas. That is fairly unusual. Charlie! John.

:51:25. > :51:32.LAUGHTER Merry Christmas, Carol. How can I

:51:33. > :51:43.say that? I have tissues for this tears. He still adores you. We will

:51:44. > :51:53.see you later. It is not just any Friday. It is frenzy Friday. 10

:51:54. > :51:58.million others apparently set to hit the supermarket aisles, or one

:51:59. > :52:00.another maybe. We will not be out there because we put out orders in

:52:01. > :52:15.with Ben. Let's see how he reacts. What was that, Charlie? Good

:52:16. > :52:19.morning. The sprouts are here. I'm assuming you don't want me to bring

:52:20. > :52:25.you to many of these. I have the shopping list for both of you. We

:52:26. > :52:28.are in Coventry and catching up with last-minute shoppers. They are

:52:29. > :52:32.getting all of their last-minute bids they need. 10 million expected

:52:33. > :52:39.to come through the Sikh market doors today. Good morning. --

:52:40. > :52:44.supermarket. This does not look like Christmas food. This looks like

:52:45. > :52:48.party food. Correct. We are out on Christmas dinner with friends, so

:52:49. > :52:54.this is for Boxing Day. Someone else is taking the burden of Christmas

:52:55. > :53:00.Day. Yes, very nice. No sprouts in he. Is that you're doing? Yes. Best

:53:01. > :53:15.of luck. Happy Christmas. I need a bit of help with my Christmas

:53:16. > :53:20.shopping, so I have but -- gotten in a retail hub. We are stuck the

:53:21. > :53:24.shelves for those looking to do their bats Christmas shopping. It is

:53:25. > :53:28.a whole operation running through the year to get it right for this

:53:29. > :53:32.last day. Tomorrow begins the four-day weekend with Sunday being

:53:33. > :53:36.Christmas Day. A lot of people will avoid shopping tomorrow. All the

:53:37. > :53:40.staff are working really hard to make sure we get our turkeys and

:53:41. > :53:46.sprouts on the table in time. Thank you. I want to introduce you to

:53:47. > :53:51.Claire, one of the bosses here at Tesco. Nice to see you. Months of

:53:52. > :53:55.planning for you to get to this stage. Tell me how it goes and how

:53:56. > :53:59.you put all of this together. Absolutely right, months of

:54:00. > :54:04.planning. Finally we see that come to execution on one of the busiest

:54:05. > :54:07.days of the year at Tesco. All of our colleagues are embracing the

:54:08. > :54:12.festive spirit. They have their Christmas jumpers on. It has been a

:54:13. > :54:16.really busy start. It is very encouraging. Tell me he did get it

:54:17. > :54:22.right. You have to have enough stuff on the shelves to make so you don't

:54:23. > :54:26.end up with loads of stock you haven't sold. There is a real

:54:27. > :54:30.balance. The shelves are really for this morning and the most important

:54:31. > :54:34.thing is we have laid our store out as civil as we can. It is easy for

:54:35. > :54:39.our customers to get their gifts and last-minute trades. -- simply. We

:54:40. > :54:43.have employed over 15,000 colleagues to help serve customers and look

:54:44. > :54:47.after them this Christmas. Thank you very much. There you have it. If you

:54:48. > :54:52.are heading up this morning, the busiest time of the day is expected

:54:53. > :54:56.to be 11 o'clock this morning. If you are heading out, make sure you

:54:57. > :55:01.have everything you need. I have my hat. I will see you later. Send me

:55:02. > :55:05.the rest of your requests this morning. What else do you need?

:55:06. > :55:12.Shoes. LAUGHTER

:55:13. > :55:16.Always need shoes. We have been getting a behind-the-scenes glimpse.

:55:17. > :55:21.You have those lovely smooth shots, and you might think we have special

:55:22. > :55:25.equipment, this is how he got those living trolley shots. That is his

:55:26. > :55:30.camera crew this morning in the basket to get those lovely gliding

:55:31. > :55:34.images live from commentary. I don't know how they will get that to the

:55:35. > :55:39.checkout. That looks like fun. It has been awhile since I have been in

:55:40. > :55:42.a trolley. Irregular item in checkout baggage area, they say.

:55:43. > :55:48.Certainly is this morning. We will be with again shortly.

:55:49. > :55:50.This morning we've been talking about people

:55:51. > :55:55.Later we'll be meeting a few of them here on the Breakfast sofa.

:55:56. > :56:23.We are so proud of what we have done.

:56:24. > :56:26.Would you say you have a positive attitude towards cancer?

:56:27. > :56:36.Yes. I just have an attitude full stop.

:56:37. > :56:44.We've been thinking about who has inspired us this morning as well.

:56:45. > :00:04.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:00:05. > :00:18.Prison officers are back in control as a disturbance at Swaleside,

:00:19. > :00:22.It's the fourth major incident at an English prison

:00:23. > :00:39.Good morning, it's Friday the 23rd December.

:00:40. > :00:45.Two men are arrested on terror charges in Germany,

:00:46. > :00:48.as the hunt continues for the man responsible for the attack

:00:49. > :00:53.Delays and disruption are expected, as millions of people hit the roads,

:00:54. > :01:10.With around 12 million people expected to take to the roads today,

:01:11. > :01:14.we are not one of the busiest motorways in the country. Traffic is

:01:15. > :01:23.starting to build up, we will have the full picture in 15 minutes. 10

:01:24. > :01:27.million shoppers are expected in the supermarkets today for the last

:01:28. > :01:31.minute Christmas shopping. They are calling it frenzied Friday. All the

:01:32. > :01:34.details about what you need to know. And we have got beans on the menu,

:01:35. > :01:36.spilling the beans! And he's the Strictly star that's

:01:47. > :01:48.his favourite, who is the naughtiest?

:01:49. > :01:50.Could not possibly comment! Looking forward to that!

:01:56. > :02:01.He leaves the club sitting just above the relegation zone.

:02:02. > :02:07.And who has the Christmas weather? I do!

:02:08. > :02:12.Morning, Carol! Morning from a festive Covent Garden. The weather

:02:13. > :02:17.not so festive, we have Storm Barbara coming across our shores.

:02:18. > :02:22.Everywhere is windy, the strongest North and West, with gusts of 90 mph

:02:23. > :02:26.across the far North of mainland Scotland and the Northern Isles. And

:02:27. > :02:30.a band of heavy rain sinking South East.

:02:31. > :02:33.More details in 15 minutes. See you then!

:02:34. > :02:37.The Prison Service says specialist guards have resolved

:02:38. > :02:40.a disturbance at Swaleside jail, in Kent, the fourth major incident

:02:41. > :02:42.at an English prison in less than two months.

:02:43. > :02:45.Fires were lit when around 60 inmates took control of part of one

:02:46. > :02:47.wing yesterday evening, but they were returned

:02:48. > :02:52.Our reporter, Peter Whittlesea, is outside Swaleside Prison,

:02:53. > :02:55.on the Isle of Sheppey, for us this morning.

:02:56. > :03:06.Good morning. What details do we know of what happened?

:03:07. > :03:12.There is a clearer picture of what happened yesterday. The Prison

:03:13. > :03:16.Officers' Association said there was tension about how long inmates would

:03:17. > :03:22.be locked up over Christmas and there were raids on cells and things

:03:23. > :03:26.were confiscated. After that, a riot started. The officers then retreated

:03:27. > :03:30.because they had lost control of the wing. Once they had retreated,

:03:31. > :03:38.prisoners started breaking things up, windows, and now a video has

:03:39. > :03:42.emerged of that. Letting of fire extinguishers, brandishing billiard

:03:43. > :03:48.balls which they use as weapons. The Prison Service say their special

:03:49. > :03:53.tornado teams, riot trained officers, went into the prison to

:03:54. > :03:55.get control at 1am this morning. No members of staff or inmates were

:03:56. > :03:59.injured. Peter, thank you.

:04:00. > :04:02.Two men have been arrested in Germany on suspicion of planning

:04:03. > :04:04.an attack on a shopping centre near the Dutch border.

:04:05. > :04:06.The brothers were detained early this morning.

:04:07. > :04:09.Germany is on high alert after Monday's market attack

:04:10. > :04:13.in Berlin, which left 12 people dead.

:04:14. > :04:16.Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Tunisian man Anis Amri,

:04:17. > :04:18.whose fingerprints were found in the truck which

:04:19. > :04:24.Caught on a taxi's dashboard-mounted camera, the moment the lorry

:04:25. > :04:34.12 people were killed and dozens more injured.

:04:35. > :04:41.This is Anis Amri, filming himself, humming a tune in Berlin -

:04:42. > :04:47.a video posted to his Facebook page in September.

:04:48. > :04:50.The 24 year old is now Europe's most wanted man.

:04:51. > :04:52.First, his ID documents were found in the cab,

:04:53. > :04:54.then his fingerprints were discovered on the driver's door

:04:55. > :05:01.Raids at addresses of Anis Amri's known contacts

:05:02. > :05:07.His family in Tunisia last saw him five years ago.

:05:08. > :05:09.They say he wasn't religious, drank alcohol, and dreamed of owning

:05:10. > :05:19.TRANSLATION: I have four sons, including him,

:05:20. > :05:22.and I think that we will not be counting him anymore.

:05:23. > :05:27.We want to know the truth, if it was really him who did this,

:05:28. > :05:35.Germany's security services remain on high alert.

:05:36. > :05:37.Last night, police arrested two brothers, originally from Kosovo,

:05:38. > :05:40.suspected of planning an attack on a shopping mall in the western

:05:41. > :05:50.It is not clear whether the alleged plot was in any way connected

:05:51. > :05:55.Now the Breitscheidplatz market is back up and running.

:05:56. > :05:58.It is a show from Berliners of defiance, strength and not giving

:05:59. > :06:00.in, as the investigation into what happened here continues.

:06:01. > :06:13.Syrian army has declared victory in Aleppo. The East of the city had

:06:14. > :06:17.been held by rebels from more than four years, becoming a symbol of the

:06:18. > :06:22.opposition to President Assad. State media said the last convoy taking

:06:23. > :06:25.rebel fighters and civilians had left. An army commander said they

:06:26. > :06:32.would now liberate the rest of the country.

:06:33. > :06:37.The Christmas getaway cranks up a give. If you thought it would be

:06:38. > :06:41.easier to travel by train, there will be 200 sets of engineering

:06:42. > :06:47.works across the UK over the next few days. The main services affected

:06:48. > :06:51.are in and out of London, Manchester and Cardiff. Record numbers of

:06:52. > :06:55.people also expected to pass through airports across Britain as they

:06:56. > :06:58.leave the country for the Christmas and New Year period. Maybe to try

:06:59. > :07:03.and get away from those traffic jams! We will be live at Paddington

:07:04. > :07:07.and near the M6, getting the latest travel indication on the rail and

:07:08. > :07:14.road networks. Everything to get you through the next few hours and days.

:07:15. > :07:17.A survey of rough sleepers suggests they are 17 times more likely

:07:18. > :07:20.to be a victim of crime than the general public.

:07:21. > :07:22.The charity Crisis says 80% of homeless people were attacked

:07:23. > :07:24.or suffered abuse over the past year.

:07:25. > :07:26.There are thought to be about 4,000 people sleeping rough

:07:27. > :07:36.The Government is injecting ?60 million a year to help

:07:37. > :07:39.first-time buyers get a foot on the housing ladder in areas

:07:40. > :07:41.where locals are crowded out of the market by second home owners.

:07:42. > :07:44.Housing Minister Gavin Barwell said the cash would be channelled

:07:45. > :07:45.through local councils to community-led groups

:07:46. > :07:56.A general supply in holiday homes but a shortage in affordable housing

:07:57. > :08:01.blight the lives of many in St Ives. The Government says that if a

:08:02. > :08:05.community has 21% of second home ownership, it becomes unsustainable

:08:06. > :08:09.and is on a slippery slope. In the centre of St Ives, we have 25% and

:08:10. > :08:15.increasing in some localised areas of second home ownership. So what is

:08:16. > :08:18.the solution? One idea is building so-called community led housing like

:08:19. > :08:29.these affordable flats in East London. They will be for local

:08:30. > :08:32.people on a local income and they can only be sold on the similar

:08:33. > :08:34.people at a similar rate. The Government wants 10,000 of these

:08:35. > :08:37.over the next five years across England. To do that, the Government

:08:38. > :08:39.has announced the day it will spend ?60 million a year on affordable

:08:40. > :08:44.housing schemes funded by increases in stamp duty. A third of the part,

:08:45. > :08:47.?19 million, will go to the south-west, with the ?11 million for

:08:48. > :08:51.the south-west and millions more shared out across England. I think

:08:52. > :08:55.it is a big problem in certain areas. One of the difficulties in my

:08:56. > :08:58.job is I have to set the national housing policy and things are

:08:59. > :09:09.different in different communities. I was in Cornwall recently looking

:09:10. > :09:12.at the coastal towns and villages where it is a huge issue, people

:09:13. > :09:14.saying they need somebody to man the lifeboat and people cannot afford

:09:15. > :09:16.any of the homes in the village. Today's announcement will create

:09:17. > :09:19.10,000 homes, a small proportion of the Government's target. Labour says

:09:20. > :09:22.it is a drop in the ocean for the most affected communities and offers

:09:23. > :09:27.nothing to those with no hope of ever getting on the housing ladder.

:09:28. > :09:29.For the first time ever, a snow leopard has been

:09:30. > :09:41.The footage has been captured on a camera trap in Mongolia

:09:42. > :09:45.as part of monitoring work which began in 2011.

:09:46. > :09:51.Not much snow for snow leopards! No, but they are thriving, the

:09:52. > :09:54.mother is going to have a busy time. It's the first time that quadruplet

:09:55. > :09:56.cubs have been registered. According to the World Wildlife Fund

:09:57. > :09:59.there are between 4,000 and 6,500 The cats are threatened by poaching

:10:00. > :10:09.and loss of living space. But in Mongolia, they seem safe

:10:10. > :10:14.enough. Four new ones. Good news. Now, here is a question that

:10:15. > :10:20.meteorologists hate, is it going to snow on Christmas Day?

:10:21. > :10:24.It might do, we might get getting snow in some places, warm weather in

:10:25. > :10:28.other places. Before you get to Christmas, it you have got to get

:10:29. > :10:30.the Christmas! Easier said than done.

:10:31. > :10:32.If you're planning a Christmas getaway, expect a delay or two.

:10:33. > :10:35.This weekend sees major engineering works begin on rail-lines

:10:36. > :10:36.in and out of London, Manchester and Cardiff.

:10:37. > :10:39.Drivers are also likely to face tailbacks, as people

:10:40. > :10:44.Airports across Britain are experiencing the busiest festive

:10:45. > :10:47.travel getaway ever, with more of us planning to leave

:10:48. > :10:49.the country than ever before over Christmas and New Year.

:10:50. > :10:51.Our transport correspondent, Richard Westcott, has

:10:52. > :10:55.It's one of the busiest lines in Britain.

:10:56. > :11:00.A vital link between London, south-west England and South Wales.

:11:01. > :11:03.But they're shutting this section near London tomorrow as part

:11:04. > :11:07.of the biggest rail upgrade programme ever taken on.

:11:08. > :11:09.24,000 staff will work on 200 projects across Britain,

:11:10. > :11:15.We have a huge programme of works that we have to deliver as part

:11:16. > :11:18.of our railway upgrade programme, and some of that work just can't be

:11:19. > :11:21.done on a live railway, we have to shut the railway.

:11:22. > :11:24.So Christmas is the best time to do it because it's one

:11:25. > :11:29.It will hit services across the country.

:11:30. > :11:31.London's Paddington Station will close for six days

:11:32. > :11:40.Services at other big stations, including London Bridge,

:11:41. > :11:42.Charing Cross and Liverpool Street will be severely affected.

:11:43. > :11:46.There will be no trains late on Christmas Eve

:11:47. > :11:48.between Cardiff Central, Bridgend, Newport and the Valleys,

:11:49. > :11:53.as they finish the biggest re-signalling job ever done.

:11:54. > :11:58.Services around central Manchester will also be affected.

:11:59. > :12:01.Christmas engineering work overran two years ago, causing chaos

:12:02. > :12:06.Network Rail says it's much better prepared now and all holiday work

:12:07. > :12:15.A lack of trains will make it harder to get to some of the airports too.

:12:16. > :12:21.Christmas Eve is one of their busiest days

:12:22. > :12:26.And it will make the roads more congested.

:12:27. > :12:29.Although 450 miles of road works are either being finished off

:12:30. > :12:31.or removed altogether over the holidays to try

:12:32. > :12:41.A lot of red lights, maybe not what you hope for!

:12:42. > :12:43.As we've just seen, there's lots of disruption expected

:12:44. > :12:48.Anisa Kadri is at London Paddington Station and Frankie McCamley

:12:49. > :12:51.is on the M6 at Walsall to bring us the latest.

:12:52. > :12:53.Anisa, what can we expect on the railways over

:12:54. > :13:05.Do the worst! Well, 200 sets of rail engineering works across Britain is

:13:06. > :13:08.what we can expect. And at Paddington, you can see behind me

:13:09. > :13:12.more and more people arriving to make the big trip home for

:13:13. > :13:17.Christmas. One young woman said she will be celebrating on the Devon

:13:18. > :13:21.coast, Lucky her! If anybody turns up at Paddington tomorrow to get on

:13:22. > :13:26.a train, they will not be able to get on it because major upgrade work

:13:27. > :13:31.is starting at the station overnight and it will continue for several

:13:32. > :13:35.days. Upgrade work is not only happening at Paddington, also at

:13:36. > :13:38.other stations in London and big projects in places including

:13:39. > :13:43.Manchester and Cardiff. The advice is, check online and make sure you

:13:44. > :13:48.are across all developments. Thank you for that advice. So maybe

:13:49. > :13:53.take the car instead, that will be easy! Or maybe not. Frankie is on

:13:54. > :13:58.the M6, what is happening on the roads?

:13:59. > :14:02.Well, the roads are getting quite busy this morning. We are on the M6,

:14:03. > :14:06.one of the most important and one of the busiest roads in the country

:14:07. > :14:11.connecting London with the Midlands, Manchester, and roads heading to

:14:12. > :14:15.Scotland. You can see behind me traffic is already building up.

:14:16. > :14:20.Around 12 million people expected on the roads. There are things being

:14:21. > :14:23.done to ease traffic, around 450 miles worth of roadworks being taken

:14:24. > :14:28.down over the festive period. But the strikes on the railway and the

:14:29. > :14:32.potential strikes on the planes could mean people are choosing to

:14:33. > :14:35.take their cars this Christmas. So do expect delays if you are taking

:14:36. > :14:40.to the roads this morning. The advice is to take extra water, extra

:14:41. > :14:41.supplies, so you can get to where you are heading this Christmas

:14:42. > :14:50.safely and on time. Let's update you with the main

:14:51. > :14:53.stories this morning. The prison service says part of a prison wing

:14:54. > :14:58.on the Isle of Sheppey that was taken over by about 60 inmates has

:14:59. > :15:02.been reclaimed. Just days after an attack on a Christmas market in

:15:03. > :15:06.Berlin, police in Germany have arrested two brothers on suspicion

:15:07. > :15:07.of planning another attack on one of the country's biggest shopping

:15:08. > :15:17.centres. Carol is updating us with the

:15:18. > :15:24.weather. She is in Covent Garden and has company.

:15:25. > :15:32.It is lovely and festive here at Covent Garden this morning. That is

:15:33. > :15:33.the Fulham brass band playing in the background, so I will be quiet and

:15:34. > :15:45.let you enjoy them for a bit. Lovely. They are an amateur band,

:15:46. > :15:50.they have been in TV programmes, films, they have done concerts and

:15:51. > :15:55.they were formed by Brick makers way back in 1895. I don't think those

:15:56. > :15:59.guys were in the band in 1895. It is very festive in Covent Garden. The

:16:00. > :16:03.weather is not quite so festive. The Met Office has a amber weather

:16:04. > :16:07.warning out for wind. Storm Barbara will be crossing the shores today.

:16:08. > :16:12.She is already showing her hand. The strongest wind will be across the

:16:13. > :16:15.north and west. For more than Scotland, the mainland and also the

:16:16. > :16:19.Northern Isles, we are looking at storm force winds later on. As well

:16:20. > :16:26.as the wind, we have a lot of rain moving across, the same band of rain

:16:27. > :16:31.affecting North West England. For north-eastern England, heading down

:16:32. > :16:34.the east Coast, past the Wash, East Anglia, Kent, the Midlands, towards

:16:35. > :16:41.Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, a dry start. Just the odd shower and

:16:42. > :16:46.spot of drizzle. That extends into south-west England, where it is also

:16:47. > :16:50.dry. A variable amounts of cloud. For Wales, a dry start, but that

:16:51. > :16:54.won't last. The wind is starting to strengthen around Cardigan Bay. For

:16:55. > :16:58.Northern Ireland, the same rain affecting Scotland is putting across

:16:59. > :17:02.Northern Ireland. Some will be heavy. The wind, continuing to

:17:03. > :17:06.strengthen. This morning, as Barbara approaches, the strongest wind in

:17:07. > :17:10.the West. We are looking widely at gusts across northern England,

:17:11. > :17:15.Northern Ireland and Scotland, between 60 and 80 mph. The

:17:16. > :17:21.exceptions are the far north of Scotland, gusts of 90. The rain

:17:22. > :17:25.pushes south, and around that there will be squally wind. Across England

:17:26. > :17:30.and Wales we are looking at gusts of 40 or 50 mph. Behind that, we return

:17:31. > :17:34.to squally showers. Some wintry, returning to the course of the

:17:35. > :17:39.night, across the northern half of the country, very windy. We lose the

:17:40. > :17:43.storm force and see severe gales. Tomorrow morning, under clear skies,

:17:44. > :17:49.across England and Wales, a cold start. Also a sunny one, when the

:17:50. > :17:53.sun gets up. For Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland, we

:17:54. > :17:56.continue with showers. Very strong wind and we have a culmination of

:17:57. > :18:02.rain, sleet, hail and possibly some thunder and hill snow. The snow is

:18:03. > :18:05.starting to accumulate. Later in the day, more rain across Scotland and

:18:06. > :18:10.Northern Ireland, northern England and North Wales. For Christmas Day,

:18:11. > :18:14.it is going to be very mild across-the-board. In fact, we could

:18:15. > :18:19.have record-breaking temperatures, potentially, on Christmas Day. To do

:18:20. > :18:24.that, we have to exceed 50.6 Celsius. That is possible. When we

:18:25. > :18:29.start the day in the south, it will be drizzly. -- 15.6. We have a

:18:30. > :18:33.weather front crossing. Before that crosses, we could see temperatures

:18:34. > :18:38.in Aberdeen 16 Celsius. As the weather front moves through, cold

:18:39. > :18:42.air pushes behind. By the end of the day, some of us could be looking at

:18:43. > :18:43.a white Christmas. More especially in Scotland, rather than anywhere

:18:44. > :18:47.else. Thank you very much indeed, Carol.

:18:48. > :19:02.We are feeling very Christmassy. We are very lucky to have spoken to

:19:03. > :19:06.famous people, politicians, personalities, but it is the stories

:19:07. > :19:11.of real people that have fought adversity, faced a really big

:19:12. > :19:12.challenges, it is those ordinary people that have done extraordinary

:19:13. > :19:15.things that have inspired us. With 2016 drawing to a close,

:19:16. > :19:18.we've been talking this morning about who and what has inspired you,

:19:19. > :19:20.and we've brought together just a few of the many Breakfast

:19:21. > :19:23.guests who've inspired us Joining us in the studio now

:19:24. > :19:43.is Nicola Murrells, Colin Hegarty, Good morning to you all. Nicola was

:19:44. > :19:48.asking him we were going to go to first. You weren't supposed to say

:19:49. > :19:55.that! We always make our guests feel comfortable. I spoke to you not so

:19:56. > :20:02.long ago, at the Christie Centre in Greater Manchester earlier this

:20:03. > :20:07.year. Tell us why? In 2013, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and went

:20:08. > :20:14.through a lot of different battles. If I sound a bit weird, I am full of

:20:15. > :20:20.steroids and morphine. I might sound a little bit slurred. Thank you so

:20:21. > :20:24.much for coming in, it must be physically draining. I decided

:20:25. > :20:28.halfway through I was not going to have any more morphine, I wanted to

:20:29. > :20:38.take the immunotherapy route. I also decided to start writing a blog to

:20:39. > :20:41.get my story across. This year, unfortunately my diagnosis was

:20:42. > :20:47.reduced to 6-9 months, and then to nine weeks. That was about the

:20:48. > :20:52.beginning of September, as you can see, I am not dead yet. One of the

:20:53. > :20:56.things that was so inspiring when we spoke to you, so many viewers

:20:57. > :21:04.responded to what has happened with you, you said, I have an attitude

:21:05. > :21:08.and I am not going to be beaten. Yes, my husband hates it, bless him,

:21:09. > :21:12.he suffers a lot, to be fair. It was devastating, I allow myself my pity

:21:13. > :21:20.party, I give myself 24 hours to feel sorry for myself, I can cry or

:21:21. > :21:25.get angry, whatever. At the end of the 24 hours, right, where are we

:21:26. > :21:28.going to go from now? That is what works for me at the moment. There

:21:29. > :21:32.will be plenty of people watching right now that have been inspired by

:21:33. > :21:38.every word you have said. Thank you for coming in. Colin, you have been

:21:39. > :21:43.inspiring in a different way? You are a teacher and you have had some

:21:44. > :21:48.year? Yes, teaching is the most inspiring of all jobs. I am very

:21:49. > :21:53.proud to be a teacher. This year there was a global teacher prize and

:21:54. > :21:57.I was nominated in the top ten, the only UK teacher. I was very proud of

:21:58. > :22:03.that. I think it was more about celebrating great teachers, teachers

:22:04. > :22:07.and education is the key to a lot of the world's solutions. I think it is

:22:08. > :22:10.really important teachers have an elevated status and everybody

:22:11. > :22:16.celebrates the work they do. You are being inspiring, but what inspires

:22:17. > :22:21.you? The children inspire me. Maths is my favourite subject. The reason

:22:22. > :22:26.I love it so much is because I think a lot of children don't like it, and

:22:27. > :22:30.I love that element of it. It is either right or wrong, if you are

:22:31. > :22:33.right with it a lot, you feel great, if you are wrong a lot, you feel bad

:22:34. > :22:38.about yourself. It is a great opportunity to turn a negative into

:22:39. > :22:41.a positive, learn from mistakes and learn that, with hard work and

:22:42. > :22:47.dedication, you can achieve great things. Talking about numbers, we

:22:48. > :22:53.have spoken to four, we are subtracting two, two of the fall

:22:54. > :23:01.woman crew that made up the Yorkshire rowers. We spoke to about

:23:02. > :23:06.the journey. 3000 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean. Four of

:23:07. > :23:11.you decided to... On a whim, you decided to do this? I suppose you

:23:12. > :23:15.could say it was. Francis asked if we wanted to row over the ocean.

:23:16. > :23:20.Whenever anybody asked me anything, I always say yes, rightly or

:23:21. > :23:28.wrongly. We have learned to row together. That was, what, four years

:23:29. > :23:32.ago? It just seemed like, why not? I think that was the answer, really.

:23:33. > :23:36.Did you think you would have captured the imagination of people?

:23:37. > :23:40.We followed you, we were talking to you on the journey. We are really

:23:41. > :23:46.grateful for that. At first, it was just a thing to do. We have been

:23:47. > :23:50.blown away by the amount of people that have come back to say, as a

:23:51. > :23:55.result, I am now doing this. It ranges from cycling across Vietnam

:23:56. > :24:02.to learning a new skill. Four other women, a little bit older than us,

:24:03. > :24:06.going to do the same race next year. They have been inspired by us. There

:24:07. > :24:15.was a dark from Yorkshire that wants to do it with three other dads. -- a

:24:16. > :24:20.dad. A guy we met called Ian, he has done a film. We went to try to do

:24:21. > :24:26.some talking at different places, to inspire people, which we have been

:24:27. > :24:32.doing quite a lot of. He has just done a film about men that dance. He

:24:33. > :24:37.has always wanted to do that. It's really lovely. Wherever we go, it

:24:38. > :24:43.seems like there is a trail of... Oh, if you can do that, I can do

:24:44. > :24:46.this. It's fantastic. As you are fighting cancer and being so open

:24:47. > :24:50.about it, you must feel from other people that say you are inspiring

:24:51. > :24:58.me? In return, what does that give you? It was about writing the truth.

:24:59. > :25:06.I don't hold anything back, literally. I said before, the first

:25:07. > :25:11.time I started writing my blog, I got the squits, and I allowed to say

:25:12. > :25:14.that? I put it online. One of my friends said, did you realise you

:25:15. > :25:21.have told 20,000 people you cannot stay off the toilet? I am not

:25:22. > :25:25.medical, by any stretch of the imagination, but in terms of the

:25:26. > :25:32.questions I asked doctors, how I challenge it. Likewise, they just

:25:33. > :25:37.want to tell me the story. It might not have a happy ending, it might be

:25:38. > :25:40.a tough battle, but the very fact that they have tried to get in

:25:41. > :25:44.touch, they have written down what they are going through, it is

:25:45. > :25:47.heartbreaking, and it is inspiring on its own. It makes a difference in

:25:48. > :25:52.terms of what I am putting down there. It is giving people a voice.

:25:53. > :26:01.I am going to the Houses of Parliament in February, to speak for

:26:02. > :26:06.cancer patients in terms of reducing the amount of time it takes to get

:26:07. > :26:11.trial drugs into the NHS. You can get them in Europe, but not here,

:26:12. > :26:15.which is ridiculous. You are tireless, and you are an

:26:16. > :26:21.inspiration. All of you are. Thank you for your views. James Bates says

:26:22. > :26:26.her daughter-in-law has inspired her. She lost her dad to cancer, she

:26:27. > :26:32.is wonderful, her wedding day was faultless.

:37:37. > :37:46.Our next guest is Pasha from Strictly who partnered her this year

:37:47. > :37:50.and partnered Carol last year. He's going to join us in a minute. Take a

:37:51. > :37:58.look at some of his most memorable dances.

:37:59. > :39:31.CHEERING You're looking moody there! That was

:39:32. > :39:41.part of the dance! Good morning, Pasha! It's so nice to see you two

:39:42. > :39:47.together again! LAUGHTER Quick question, we've seen you with both

:39:48. > :39:54.of them. Who is your favourite? You're putting me on the spot right

:39:55. > :39:59.here. No comment! We'll get more out of you later! We've got so much to

:40:00. > :40:02.talk about. Strictly is where people know you from. You've been one of

:40:03. > :40:07.the dancers on the show for six years, do you still love it?

:40:08. > :40:11.Absolutely love it. Strictly is an amazing programme and I love that it

:40:12. > :40:15.brings happiness to people at home. People can relax and enjoy

:40:16. > :40:21.themselves. It's quite interesting how you got into dance. Remember

:40:22. > :40:25.Billy Elliot the film, how boys often get teased about dancing in

:40:26. > :40:30.this country. But in Russia, it is quite different. You had two

:40:31. > :40:39.choices. Athletics or dancing. Why not athletics? Not that many pretty

:40:40. > :40:44.girls in athletics. It was easier(!). I started dancing when I

:40:45. > :40:48.was about eight. I saw all the beauty going on and I was growing up

:40:49. > :40:54.in Siberia, can you imagine winter, snow and suddenly you walk into the

:40:55. > :40:57.theatre and use the lights and music, all of this beautiful

:40:58. > :41:02.costumes, and girls. I said, mum, take me to where the girls are. I

:41:03. > :41:10.didn't care about dance at that point! Where you good straightaway?

:41:11. > :41:16.No. My coach called me Pinocchio for some time, a wooden boy. I couldn't

:41:17. > :41:32.move my hips. It took me a few years before I started getting into it.

:41:33. > :41:37.You can put that into a celebrity contestant if they are struggling to

:41:38. > :41:41.start with. It is an impossibly difficult thing to do. If you've

:41:42. > :41:44.been there yourself you can understand what they are going

:41:45. > :41:49.through. It is difficult, especially if you don't have a dance background

:41:50. > :41:55.previously. But then the pressure of being on TV in front of millions of

:41:56. > :41:58.people, it doesn't matter what you do, but you were probably an

:41:59. > :42:02.Strictly because you were good at what you are doing and you have to

:42:03. > :42:11.be in the position where you feel absolutely in control. We can take

:42:12. > :42:15.those pictures off! You know what, I think it's more scary sometimes to

:42:16. > :42:20.be on a stage and in that. You don't see the people at home. Your tour

:42:21. > :42:26.that is coming up, you're getting lots of children involved in that as

:42:27. > :42:31.well, why? It must be quite tricky organising lots of children to

:42:32. > :42:37.dance. It sounds like herding cats! It's a lot of organisation. At the

:42:38. > :42:40.same time, looking back at when I was a kid and when I was learning

:42:41. > :42:46.how to dance, every time you perform in front of a live audience, every

:42:47. > :42:51.time you go into a theatre and do a concert or anything like that, it

:42:52. > :42:56.pushes your dance ability to the next level. What do you want people

:42:57. > :43:01.to feel? It's never appealed to me before Strictly to go to watch

:43:02. > :43:06.people dance on stage. Just watch dancing, what do you want people to

:43:07. > :43:12.leave feeling? First of all, when people come to my show, my goal is

:43:13. > :43:17.to take them into this wonderland. The two hours they will be

:43:18. > :43:21.completely part of the show that will be going on on stage. I want

:43:22. > :43:29.them to forget about everything and enjoy themselves. Have as much fun

:43:30. > :43:36.as they possibly can and then continue with their life. I'm going

:43:37. > :43:41.to give you Naga again and Carol again and we've got some questions

:43:42. > :43:51.to ask you. Let's get Carol. Carol, where are you? Pasha, this is see

:43:52. > :43:59.you! Feel the love. She's just here, tough. You're not going to tell us

:44:00. > :44:09.who is your favourite but which of these two where the naughtiest

:44:10. > :44:25.partner? LAUGHTER OK, it's Naga. Who used to sing Mr Carver lover? --

:44:26. > :44:38."Cover Lover"?. How did that go, Carol? LAUGHTER Which of them stood

:44:39. > :44:51.on your toes the most in rehearsals? Who has a cat named Donald? Good!

:44:52. > :45:01.Who was the most punctual? Oh my goodness! Carol, who was later

:45:02. > :45:07.rehearsals all the time?! Pasha! It's payback straightaway! We are

:45:08. > :45:15.going to put you in our shoes. It's time for you to throw to Carol to

:45:16. > :45:22.get the weather. Christmas special, Strictly Come Dancing on Christmas

:45:23. > :45:31.Day at 6:45pm. This feels like a really weird double date! LAUGHTER

:45:32. > :45:47.Now we are going to the weather with Carol. That was beautiful. I'm in

:45:48. > :45:48.Covent Garden, this band are about to start playing jingle Bells. This

:45:49. > :46:25.is for you, Jon. the full brass band. Very festive

:46:26. > :46:30.and somebody who knows all about the festive spirit is the creative

:46:31. > :46:35.director here at Covent Garden, Beverly Churchill. You were involved

:46:36. > :46:39.in the Christmas decorations here. How do you start planning for

:46:40. > :46:44.something like this? A long time ahead, part of my job is to make

:46:45. > :46:49.Covent Garden looking beautiful and festive and it takes a lot of people

:46:50. > :46:51.a lot of time. What is your inspiration? This year we have the

:46:52. > :46:58.mistletoe chandelier and the lovely Christmas tree. From the history of

:46:59. > :47:01.the area, Covent Garden used to be a fruit and vegetable and flower

:47:02. > :47:05.market for 300 years, this is where you came to buy your Christmas tree

:47:06. > :47:09.and your holly and ivy and everything for Christmas lunch. It

:47:10. > :47:16.looks stunning, you can fabulous job, happy Christmas. You can see

:47:17. > :47:19.the tree, 200 baubles on that particular tree. The weather is the

:47:20. > :47:26.only thing that isn't very festive, the Met Office has added an Amber

:47:27. > :47:33.weather for wind. Very strong winds, even storm force over the far north

:47:34. > :47:38.of Scotland. As well as the wind we have some heavy rain, crossing

:47:39. > :47:42.Scotland, snow on the hills, sleet at lower levels and as we go into

:47:43. > :47:47.northern England the same band of rain is pushing south-east. In

:47:48. > :47:52.north-east England, coming down the east Coast, East Anglia, Kent, from

:47:53. > :47:58.the Midlands downwards, here we have some dry weather, clear skies and

:47:59. > :48:04.light breezes. In the south-west, dry start, one or two showers, some

:48:05. > :48:09.drizzle and in Wales, similar but the wind picking up along the

:48:10. > :48:13.coastline of Wales and as we move into Northern Ireland, the same rain

:48:14. > :48:17.affecting Scotland is pushing over Northern Ireland, accompanied by

:48:18. > :48:23.strengthening wind. This morning the strongest wind will be across the

:48:24. > :48:29.Western Isles, gusts up to 70 mph. Whether you are it is going to be

:48:30. > :48:35.windy. A band of rain moving south, getting to the south around dusk,

:48:36. > :48:42.squally wind behind it and the Ford -- behind it, more showers. We are

:48:43. > :48:50.looking at gusts between 60-80 mph, 90 mph across the far north of

:48:51. > :48:54.Scotland, for England and Wales, wind 40-50 mph but more along the

:48:55. > :49:00.coasts. Overnight, the rain will clear, clear skies in England and

:49:01. > :49:04.Wales, still be strong wind and showers across the North. That leads

:49:05. > :49:07.us into Christmas Eve, starting with that combination in the north but

:49:08. > :49:12.clear skies further south, some sunshine around. The wind on

:49:13. > :49:20.Christmas Eve will still be strong, not as strong as today in the North.

:49:21. > :49:23.Later on, more rain coming across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland,

:49:24. > :49:28.northern England and eventually into North Wales. On Christmas Day, it

:49:29. > :49:33.will be drizzly in the south-east and then it will brighten up. Bright

:49:34. > :49:39.start for many of us and it's going to be very mild. We could have

:49:40. > :49:43.record-breaking temperatures. If we hit 16 that will be a record, the

:49:44. > :49:49.highest temperature recorded was 15.6. As the weather front pushes

:49:50. > :49:54.south, bringing rain, it will turn colder behind it and in parts of

:49:55. > :49:56.Scotland, as well as having record-breaking temperatures we

:49:57. > :50:03.could have a white Christmas. That's quite unusual.

:50:04. > :50:07.Certainly is, thanks very much. Is this the last time we are seeing

:50:08. > :50:13.you? We will come back to you at the end of the programme. Yes, we have

:50:14. > :50:17.another bit of choir later on. Thanks, Carol.

:50:18. > :50:20.For any family with a relative who has dementia, the idea of them

:50:21. > :50:23.going missing and then needing the police's help is one

:50:24. > :50:27.In the last of our Policing Britain stories,

:50:28. > :50:31.we've found that happened at least 1,200 times in the UK

:50:32. > :50:34.in the last year alone, and it looks as if the problem

:50:35. > :50:36.is getting worse, with several forces saying they're seeing

:50:37. > :50:38.increasing numbers of people with dementia going missing.

:50:39. > :50:45.I just thought, "Oh my God, where is he?"

:50:46. > :50:51.I was pacing up and down until the police came.

:50:52. > :50:59.Terry first went missing seven weeks after their wedding.

:51:00. > :51:04.In March this year, his disappearance from a holiday

:51:05. > :51:06.caravan in Cumbria triggered a huge manhunt.

:51:07. > :51:16.You knew he would have been distressed?

:51:17. > :51:20.He was probably lying in a ditch somewhere.

:51:21. > :51:24.You know, which was really heartbreaking.

:51:25. > :51:29.He had no coat on, it was close to freezing.

:51:30. > :51:32.Terry was eventually found, ten miles away,

:51:33. > :51:47.Sergeant Nick Oliver was part of the search party.

:51:48. > :51:49.This particular search, about 60 people involved.

:51:50. > :51:53.Coast Guard, police, rescue teams, the helicopter from Lancaster

:51:54. > :51:59.that was brought across, police across different shifts.

:52:00. > :52:01.Here in Cumbria, reports of missing people with dementia have

:52:02. > :52:06.increased by 152% since 2012, with 80 million searches

:52:07. > :52:12.Police Scotland tell us they respond to at least one report a day,

:52:13. > :52:17.Essex has seen the highest number of searches in England,

:52:18. > :52:21.In Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk, they've created a scheme

:52:22. > :52:27.It's named after a pensioner who lived here.

:52:28. > :52:47.He took part in the Normandy landings.

:52:48. > :52:51.Germans couldn't stop him, and neither could we.

:52:52. > :52:54.In fact, police were so frequently called to help find George around

:52:55. > :52:56.Wells that they devised the Herbert Protocol in his name.

:52:57. > :52:59.It's a way of collecting information from nursing homes before

:53:00. > :53:01.a person goes missing, so it's to hand if and

:53:02. > :53:04.They will have details of the person's previous home

:53:05. > :53:07.addresses, previous places of work, what they have been talking

:53:08. > :53:10.That information can be given to us very quickly

:53:11. > :53:17.If the weather is really bad, that could save someone's life.

:53:18. > :53:19.The Herbert Protocol, developed here, will help release

:53:20. > :53:23.But the charity Missing People believe that more could be done

:53:24. > :53:26.They believe there should be an automatic referral to social

:53:27. > :53:31.services the very first time anybody shows signs of wandering.

:53:32. > :53:34.Without that, they believe there are missed opportunities

:53:35. > :53:39.Terry's dementia has deteriorated and he is no longer

:53:40. > :53:43.But nursing homes aren't meant to be prisons -

:53:44. > :53:48.With the number of dementia sufferers set to rise

:53:49. > :53:52.to over 1 million by 2025, this problem is likely to become

:53:53. > :54:02.Other police forces are now adopting the scheme.

:54:03. > :54:06.Today is set to be the busiest food shopping day of the year,

:54:07. > :54:17.with an estimated 10 million people hitting the supermarket aisles.

:54:18. > :54:27.We didn't fancy it ourselves, we sent somebody else out and Ben drew

:54:28. > :54:36.the short straw. He is our little elf helper. Nice jumper, Ben. What

:54:37. > :54:46.else do you need? You give me the biggest shopping list ever. Jon

:54:47. > :54:53.wanted Cranbury course, Naga wanted mince pies. 10 million of us are

:54:54. > :54:57.expected to do this through the day, including my guests. What have you

:54:58. > :55:00.got in the trolley and what do you need? Some last-minute snacks and

:55:01. > :55:06.treats, I've got most of the main shop. Coleslaw, sausage rolls, those

:55:07. > :55:13.things. You've been helping out as well, Ben? I bought a carrot for

:55:14. > :55:22.Rudolph, some sweets for myself and I bought... All sorts of other

:55:23. > :55:26.things. You've got the priorities, sweets, it is a carrot and

:55:27. > :55:32.chocolate. I noticed you have some booze in this trolley? Too much! The

:55:33. > :55:36.odd Guinness. Thanks very much. Happy Christmas to you, good luck

:55:37. > :55:41.with the rest of your shopping. I need some help with my Christmas

:55:42. > :55:45.shopping and buying enlisted the help of Clare, a retail expert. It's

:55:46. > :55:49.getting busy, 10 million people shopping today, how are the

:55:50. > :55:54.supermarkets preparing? There will be an army of people starting the

:55:55. > :56:00.show was making sure they don't want out of key products so that when we

:56:01. > :56:03.have Christmas lunch we need. Today is the big day, four day weekend and

:56:04. > :56:07.they will be a lot of happy customers shopping today because the

:56:08. > :56:13.stores look great. Lots of planning going into this. Thanks. Claire is

:56:14. > :56:17.from Tesco, good morning. So much planning has gone into today, tell

:56:18. > :56:22.me how you make sure you have the right stuff on the shelves. You're

:56:23. > :56:26.right, a lot of planning has gone in all year for this special day. Today

:56:27. > :56:32.you will see just over 200,000 turkeys being sold, one third of our

:56:33. > :56:37.customers will come here to buy a turkey and the other things that go

:56:38. > :56:40.with your Christmas dinner plate. The colleagues have worked hard,

:56:41. > :56:45.it's important, that is the key thing to get right so that customers

:56:46. > :56:51.are served, getting what they want and making sure that the shelves

:56:52. > :56:57.filled with the right products. Nice to see you, thanks, Merry Christmas.

:56:58. > :57:03.I want to introduce you to Edward, a turkey farmer. You have one here.

:57:04. > :57:09.Top tips for people? If you want most rest on your turkey, league it

:57:10. > :57:17.upside down and then turn it on its back for the Remainer of the cooking

:57:18. > :57:22.time, it helps the juices soaked into the breast meat -- for the rest

:57:23. > :57:29.of the cooking time. I have the jumper and the Bell. Happy Christmas

:57:30. > :57:39.to you, see you in the studio. You need to pull your hats down because

:57:40. > :57:49.you have four ears! At least you can hear yourself. Someone handed

:57:50. > :57:54.trolley action, Ben? You have the only one in the country that works!

:57:55. > :57:57.Well done, thank you, Ben. Nearly 9am.

:57:58. > :58:02.If you haven't yet watched last night's MasterChef

:58:03. > :58:04.The Professionals final then look away now.

:58:05. > :58:08.We're about to speak to the winner of this year's competition.

:58:09. > :58:10.Last night, the three finalists fought to prove their passion

:58:11. > :58:17.They were asked to prepare an exceptional three-course

:58:18. > :58:21.Michelin-standard meal in just three hours.

:58:22. > :58:24.Let's have a look at what the judges thought of their final dishes.

:58:25. > :58:32.Then we are going to tell you who won.

:58:33. > :58:40.They are beautiful, simply beautiful. They look delicate, very

:58:41. > :58:50.intricate. Just really pleasing to the eye. That, for me, is every bit

:58:51. > :58:55.as light and delicate as its appearance. I think you've got very

:58:56. > :59:06.clever, subtle flavours going on with two types of salmon, which is

:59:07. > :59:10.the main thing. The cooking of the scallops is well done, gently

:59:11. > :59:14.seasoned, the earthiness of the puree and little bits of Apple. It

:59:15. > :59:28.is a very good dish, Matt. Gary, I think your three dishes look

:59:29. > :59:36.fantastic. I love the colours. Everything has been very well

:59:37. > :59:41.thought out. Great job. Thank you. If that is the direction your food

:59:42. > :59:50.is going in, keep going down that road, because I love that. It's

:59:51. > :59:53.divine. Sewed the winner revealed. -- so, the winner revealed.

:59:54. > :59:55.Congratulations to the winner of Masterchef the Professionals,

:59:56. > :59:57.Gary Maclean, who joins us now in the studio.

:59:58. > :00:02.We're sitting here, we know you've won, our hearts are racing watching

:00:03. > :00:09.that. You were watching it with your friends last night and they didn't

:00:10. > :00:12.know you had one! They organised an amazing surprise party and the

:00:13. > :00:18.reaction was incredible, it really was. It must be tough to keep a

:00:19. > :00:22.secret like that. It's been difficult. Especially when I first

:00:23. > :00:29.appeared, everyone is asking, the first thing they ask is did you win?

:00:30. > :00:37.The only answer is, of course not! I told the students I went out

:00:38. > :00:43.tonight. It was difficult. I'm quite glad it's out. It only felt real

:00:44. > :00:47.once I saw it myself, to be honest. Obviously winning is great but just

:00:48. > :00:54.being part of a programme like that, even being chosen to be a competitor

:00:55. > :00:56.is a privilege, isn't it? I'm a complete MasterChef nerd. I

:00:57. > :01:01.absolutely love the show. I've been watching it for years. You had

:01:02. > :01:07.applied to be on it before, hadn't you? It was my third year in a row

:01:08. > :01:12.that I'd applied. What were the judges like? Did you get any warning

:01:13. > :01:16.when they were going to come and talk to you? It's really as you see

:01:17. > :01:21.it on TV. The times are real. You've just got to speak to the judges when

:01:22. > :01:25.they come up. You've got to be able to cook and talk at the same time.

:01:26. > :01:30.Three of the judges were incredible, really supportive and help to. They

:01:31. > :01:37.had high praise for your food. Let's hear some of their comments. Gary

:01:38. > :01:43.has found a style and he's running with it. It's exciting him and it

:01:44. > :01:49.has excited me as well. Gary has been such a pleasure to watch

:01:50. > :01:57.rediscover himself as a chef. The two dishes I ate today that blew me

:01:58. > :02:00.away, they were Gary's. The amazing thing is you haven't been a

:02:01. > :02:04.professional chef. You've been a lecturer at a college. What

:02:05. > :02:13.difference is this going to make to your life? It just so happens I'm a

:02:14. > :02:20.professional chef teaching other chefs. Will you leave and sat up on

:02:21. > :02:27.your own? No, I absolutely love teaching. Most people do setup a

:02:28. > :02:31.restaurant. If you win a cookery programme that's where they want to

:02:32. > :02:36.go. Why whole career has been opening restaurants. I've opened

:02:37. > :02:42.about 80 restaurants. Biking is big companies. Come up with an idea,

:02:43. > :02:46.open a restaurant and move on -- working with big companies. I've

:02:47. > :02:51.moved into teaching full-time, which I love. I think there will be

:02:52. > :02:59.opportunities. MasterChef is huge... Do you think that the general public

:03:00. > :03:04.cooked enough? Or do you think... Because eating out can be so

:03:05. > :03:07.accessible now with a whole range of prices in restaurants, do you think

:03:08. > :03:13.we are losing our touch with cooking? I think, let's support the

:03:14. > :03:20.restaurants. Don't cook! I think people love feed, they love it, the

:03:21. > :03:25.whole culture has completely changed. Since I started cooking it

:03:26. > :03:31.on its head to what it was. Are you cooking Christmas dinner? Any tips?

:03:32. > :03:39.The main one is cook your turkey upside down. What about sprouts?

:03:40. > :03:45.They are only edible with bacon or pancetta. I hate sprouts! Really?!

:03:46. > :03:51.I'm a big fan of sprouts. I quite like them. They need something. They

:03:52. > :03:57.need a little encouragement. And not too soft. Not too soft, not too

:03:58. > :04:00.hard. They are a difficult thing to cook. Thank you so much for coming

:04:01. > :04:03.in. You can watch the final

:04:04. > :04:05.of Masterchef: The Professionals now You can turn up the sound and we

:04:06. > :04:18.went referred to Gary again winning. We'll be speaking to James Baxter

:04:19. > :04:21.from Still Open All Hours in a moment but first a last,

:04:22. > :04:24.brief look at the headlines Welcome back! It's Friday morning

:04:25. > :06:14.9am. It's the sitcom that's proved it's

:06:15. > :06:16.still got plenty of shelf-life, Still Open All Hours,

:06:17. > :06:20.the sequel to Ronnie Barker's classic comedy Open All Hours

:06:21. > :06:23.will see the nation's best-loved convenience store open its doors

:06:24. > :06:42.for a Christmas special on BBC1. We have James Baxter with us. Still

:06:43. > :06:46.Open All Hours. You're following in some huge comedy footsteps. That

:06:47. > :06:56.must have been daunting! Thanks for that! I am. It's amazing. It's nice

:06:57. > :07:01.to be part of that Dynasty. What do we get from Still Open All Hours? A

:07:02. > :07:07.lot of these remakes have been coming through on the BBC. You can't

:07:08. > :07:13.just copy what was done, you don't touch that but you move it on. It

:07:14. > :07:21.would be foolish, just because of the enormity, especially with StOpen

:07:22. > :07:26.All Hours, and David and Ronnie. We try and retain the heart of the

:07:27. > :07:33.show. Times have changed. To move it forward so it's accessible for a new

:07:34. > :07:38.audience. It's like Open All Hours, the next generation. A bit of a

:07:39. > :07:48.sci-fi twist! Do you remember watching it as a kid? There is a

:07:49. > :07:55.young girl called Alexa who has the DVDs at home. I grew up watching it.

:07:56. > :08:02.It appeals to everybody. That makes me feel old, because I watched it

:08:03. > :08:16.the first time around! Shouldn't have said anything! This is the new

:08:17. > :08:22.one. What's your character? I play Leroy who is Granville's son

:08:23. > :08:26.although that has never been 100% confirmed. I work in the shop with

:08:27. > :08:30.him and get dragged along on all of his schemes and plots to sell as

:08:31. > :08:37.much as he can, for as much as he can. There have been all kinds of

:08:38. > :08:41.attempts to try old comedies and update them. This has been

:08:42. > :08:46.astonishingly successful. The figures suggest it was one of the

:08:47. > :08:51.most watched series of last year. They remind me! The idea that many

:08:52. > :08:58.people watch my mug over Christmas on TV is pretty scary! It's

:08:59. > :09:04.astonishing, really. It just goes to show... I think it's because it

:09:05. > :09:10.appeals to a five-year-old and a 95-year-old. What was it like

:09:11. > :09:13.working with Sir David Jason? That must be intimidating. Forget that

:09:14. > :09:18.everyone is watching on Christmas Day, but you had to work with Sir

:09:19. > :09:22.David Jason. It was incredible. He was in my living room or than my dad

:09:23. > :09:31.was growing up! That was a joke, sorry dad! She is a legend. What he

:09:32. > :09:36.kind, did he offer advice? What better person to get advice from. I

:09:37. > :09:42.am the butt of 95% of his jokes on set which is always good, keeps the

:09:43. > :09:49.skin thick. He is amazing. He was in your position in the original. Yeah,

:09:50. > :09:57.he gave me advice on don't be afraid... Especially with series

:09:58. > :10:02.one, a lot of the jokes I fed, I would load the gun and he would fire

:10:03. > :10:19.it. He was like, he really nurtured me. Let's have a sneak preview.

:10:20. > :10:27.Hello? LAUGHTER You gave me a fright! If he asks, tell me I saw

:10:28. > :10:31.you were frightened. What are you doing behind there? Have you got a

:10:32. > :10:41.bed down there? No but it's not a bad idea! O! LAUGHTER They get me up

:10:42. > :10:48.too early, my body clock doesn't run on Arkwright time. You need a

:10:49. > :10:55.rewind. Or just a lie in. There are some great faces in there. Mrs

:10:56. > :11:02.Hussain is head over heals the Leroy. Bordering on obsessive. Nina

:11:03. > :11:07.is amazing. What are you going to be doing on Christmas Day? Are you

:11:08. > :11:13.going to be watching? I will be, it's an on Boxing Day. Christmas Day

:11:14. > :11:19.I'll just be eating and drinking as much as I possibly can. My dad's a

:11:20. > :11:23.picture. There is a plethora of meat in our house. When you were growing

:11:24. > :11:28.up it must have been really busy over Christmas. He'll be there now,

:11:29. > :11:34.selling turkeys. I do know how he eats turkey on Christmas Day! Who

:11:35. > :11:38.does the cooking? He kicks the meet at the shop and then my mum does the

:11:39. > :11:45.rest at home. They've got bigger ovens. Please tell me he's open all

:11:46. > :11:53.hours! I get that a lot! I was in the shop yesterday. Every now and

:11:54. > :11:59.then it feels weird because I do this on TV! What's coming up for

:12:00. > :12:04.you. When you watch on Boxing Day, are you cried critical of yourself

:12:05. > :12:08.when you watch or can you just enjoy it? -- are you quite critical of

:12:09. > :12:13.yourself? I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing myself on TV. I

:12:14. > :12:17.think every actor is critical of what they do. It's out there now.

:12:18. > :12:24.It's out in the world so you've got to try and not be as critical. It's

:12:25. > :12:28.going to be fabulous. Thank you for coming in! Enjoy eating all the food

:12:29. > :12:37.your parents are cooking! If you do want to watch it, Open All Hours,

:12:38. > :12:42.BBC One, Boxing Day, 8:30pm. June in!

:12:43. > :12:45.That's all from Breakfast this morning.

:12:46. > :12:47.Carol's brought us lots of lovely music from Covent Garden this

:12:48. > :12:53.morning and we've got a special treat for her now,

:12:54. > :13:09.Merry Christmas to you, I hope it's a peaceful and lovely one. Before we

:13:10. > :13:18.go we are going to hear my favourite carol Silent Night played by the

:13:19. > :13:26.wonderful full brass band. -- Fulham brass band.

:13:27. > :13:38.It's Michael McIntyre's festive Big Show.
