:02:23. > :02:29.as a dream come true. Having come to Britain

:06:03. > :06:11.Bring us up to date this morning. I've just checked the departure

:06:12. > :06:15.board here and it makes for pretty grim reading. We have a number of

:06:16. > :06:21.flights already delayed and some have been cancelled. It is thought

:06:22. > :06:25.that yesterday around 30,000 passengers flying to and from the UK

:06:26. > :06:28.had their flights cancelled and spare a thought for the passengers

:06:29. > :06:34.trying to head to Frankfurt from here. They were due to leave at 530

:06:35. > :06:39.yesterday afternoon on board a Lufthansa flight and that is yet to

:06:40. > :06:44.depart. They have had a delay of 16 hours. This is due to a yellow

:06:45. > :06:49.warning for fog. That means people should be prepared. Although the fog

:06:50. > :06:53.has lifted somewhat from its worst position yesterday afternoon, still,

:06:54. > :06:58.we are told on the roads there could be treacherous conditions with dense

:06:59. > :07:03.fog and visibility under 100 metres. It is not just the fog that is

:07:04. > :07:07.causing trouble here in southern England and central England, in

:07:08. > :07:11.north-west Scotland, also a yellow warning for rain and strong winds

:07:23. > :07:24.resources have been brought in to keep people safe

:07:25. > :07:27.following the terror attacks in Berlin and Nice

:07:28. > :07:29.earlier this year. Greater Manchester Police and other

:07:30. > :07:51.forces say they've also stepped up We spent a long time planning this

:07:52. > :07:56.operation. Westminster City Council and the mayor 's office. Making sure

:07:57. > :08:03.people have good time. There will be a surge regime in place. Something

:08:04. > :08:04.like 3000 police officers in duty in central London alone and stewards as

:08:08. > :08:09.Russia's President Putin for his decision not

:08:46. > :08:48.with the group before they shot His memoir was called

:08:49. > :08:53."The Man Who Gave The Beatles Away". 40% of councils in England have no

:08:57. > :08:58.disabled parking permits. New analysis of official figures

:08:59. > :09:01.found blue badges could be used fraudulently without fear of

:09:02. > :09:04.being fined in 61 local authorities. The finding has been

:09:05. > :09:06.described as "staggering" From midnight tonight,

:09:07. > :09:13.anyone who owns an air gun The legislation was introduced

:09:14. > :09:17.after a toddler was killed by an airgun pellet

:09:18. > :09:19.in Glasgow in 2005. Thousands of the weapons have been

:09:20. > :09:23.surrendered in advance of the deadline, though critics say

:09:24. > :09:34.the change won't reduce gun crime, These are the guns that by January

:09:35. > :09:39.one will be illegal unless it their owners have a licence. Already

:09:40. > :09:43.11,000 people have applied for a certificate and anyone with a gun

:09:44. > :09:47.licence already can add air weapons to that. Thousands of air gun owners

:09:48. > :09:52.have missed the deadline of the 31st of October to apply for a permit.

:09:53. > :09:58.Anyone who applied residue to get before October 31 is OK because they

:09:59. > :10:03.applied early. -- for a certificate. Those who applied for the next

:10:25. > :10:32.clampdown is using a sledgehammer to crack and out. Shooting people at a

:10:33. > :10:37.high rates flight is illegal. -- flat. This is tokenism which will

:10:38. > :10:41.achieve nothing. The people who will miss use a rifle is not the type of

:10:42. > :10:45.people who are going to go to the trouble of licensing their weapons

:10:46. > :10:49.anyway. But hackers of the new laws they eat weapons are involved in

:10:50. > :10:55.half of all gun crime in Scotland -- air weapons. Tightening the

:10:56. > :11:00.legislation is justified. Thousands of airguns have already been handed

:11:01. > :11:14.into police to be destroyed. Craig Anderson, News, Inverness.

:11:15. > :11:17.Thousands of Star Wars devotees turned out in New Orleans yesterday

:11:32. > :11:37.Let's have a look at this morning's papers.

:11:38. > :11:53.A lot of them are with pictures of those being announced on the honours

:11:54. > :12:03.list. This is one on the foreign aid budget. That is the Daily Mail's

:12:04. > :12:13.take. Also a play on the word. You can see what they have done. We will

:12:14. > :12:16.hear more about some of the sporting nominations and also many of those

:12:17. > :12:20.who have an awarded for service to the community, we are speaking to

:12:21. > :12:26.them later. Andy Murray is on the front of the Daily Telegraph was not

:12:27. > :12:33.now, Sir Andy Murray, of course. Also a story of people drinking and

:12:34. > :12:39.the pressure of -- that people who drink put on the NHS. Also on the

:12:40. > :12:48.front page of the Daily Mirror, they are also highlighting the award for

:12:49. > :12:53.Sir Ken Dodd. Finally being awarded an knighthood. He is now 89 years

:12:54. > :13:07.old. Look at the quote. "I'm Very, very happy. I'm full of

:13:08. > :13:11.plumptishousness...". He is very tickled. You are watching breakfast

:13:12. > :13:16.from BBC News. Andy Murray and Mo Farah have been

:13:17. > :13:20.recognised with knighthoods, while Jessica Ennis-Hill

:13:21. > :13:23.and Katherine Grainger become Dames Thousands of travellers face

:13:24. > :13:26.disruption this morning as freezing fog in parts of England

:13:27. > :13:40.leads to flights being cancelled, It is time to find out how the

:13:41. > :13:46.weather is looking for the next couple of days. That is a pretty

:13:47. > :13:51.funky picture. Just a little bit. We have some fog around. Happy

:13:52. > :13:55.Hogmanay. The fog is not as dense or as widespread as yesterday. If you

:13:56. > :14:00.are on the move across central and southern England in south-east

:14:01. > :14:04.Wales, it could be impacting travel. Not as bad as yesterday. It makes

:14:05. > :14:09.for a great start across southern areas. Chilly as well. Not as much

:14:10. > :14:15.frost. Temperatures above freezing for the most. A few breaks in a

:14:16. > :14:19.cloud across north-east England. Rain or drizzle more likely to be

:14:20. > :14:23.across the fells of Cumbria. A dry start from Northern Ireland and much

:14:24. > :14:27.of southern Scotland. Brightness for eastern Scotland. A miserable start

:14:28. > :14:32.for the west. It has been raining relentlessly for the last 24 hours.

:14:33. > :14:36.Over 100 millimetres of rain in the Highlands. There will be flooding

:14:37. > :14:40.issues. The rain pushes southwards later and across the rest of

:14:41. > :14:45.Scotland to the afternoon. Eventually into Northern Ireland.

:14:46. > :14:50.Away from that, dry. The best of the brighter breaks will be to the east

:14:51. > :14:54.of high ground. Temperatures around 7- 12 degrees. If you are out this

:14:55. > :14:59.evening, be prepared for rain early in Scotland and Northern Ireland,

:15:00. > :15:03.but by midnight, clearer skies and cold conditions. Winter conditions

:15:04. > :15:07.for northern parts of Northern Ireland. If you are celebrating

:15:08. > :15:10.across England and Wales, rain pushing into north-west England by

:15:11. > :15:15.the time to get to midnight and to the north and west of files. Patchy

:15:16. > :15:19.rain and drizzle across western areas. The rest of you will see the

:15:20. > :15:24.New Year under dry conditions. A mild start to 2017 across the south.

:15:25. > :15:29.Chilly conditions across midnight in Scotland and Northern Ireland. They

:15:30. > :15:35.will push southwards. A slow process through New Year's day, but it will

:15:36. > :15:43.eventually reach all of us. Beware that will struggle to shift away. It

:15:44. > :15:46.is through a good part of south and central England through the day.

:15:47. > :15:50.Whole debate brighter conditions for Scotland and Northern Ireland with

:15:51. > :15:55.winter showers, and the colder weather takes us into Monday and

:15:56. > :15:59.Tuesday. A few winter flurries here and there, but most will be clear

:16:00. > :16:03.and dry by day and cold and frosty by night. That is how it is looking.

:16:04. > :16:05.Another update in an hour. Thank you.

:16:06. > :16:08.Security's being stepped up ahead of tonight's New Year's Eve

:16:09. > :16:10.celebrations in London, following the terror attacks

:16:11. > :16:14.The Police Federation says that while there's no specific

:16:15. > :16:16.intelligence about an attack in the capital, more officers

:16:17. > :16:18.will be on duty than in previous years,

:16:19. > :16:22.Greater Manchester police and other forces say they're also

:16:23. > :16:24.putting on extra crowd protection measures.

:16:25. > :16:26.Peter Bleksley is a former Scotland Yard detective

:16:27. > :16:43.A lot of this is about reassurance. Yes, but it is also very necessary.

:16:44. > :16:49.As with so -- as we saw in building in ace, those opportunistic attacks

:16:50. > :16:58.by difficult for intelligent sensors to detect -- Berlin and knees. They

:16:59. > :17:03.need to be in a position to thwart any attack should happen. We'll be

:17:04. > :17:08.public notice any difference? I think people will be somewhat

:17:09. > :17:12.alarmed, and as we saw in Northumbria a couple of weeks ago, a

:17:13. > :17:16.couple of heavily police officers were at a Christmas market, and were

:17:17. > :17:21.smiling and having photographs taken by children. There was an uproar. I

:17:22. > :17:26.would say to the public, I'm afraid this is the state of affairs need to

:17:27. > :17:32.reverse entry. You will have to get used to C and heavily armed police

:17:33. > :17:42.at sporting events and all of that. There will become -- they will be

:17:43. > :17:52.compound of everyday life. It is sad and very necessary. We have to

:17:53. > :17:56.understand and appreciate there are those who would like to wipe us from

:17:57. > :18:00.the face of the Earth. We need to do as much as we possibly can

:18:01. > :18:04.collectively to try to thwart these people. The way these changes have

:18:05. > :18:08.been described is that the plans have been modified. How often are

:18:09. > :18:13.plans being modified? It is only right that the police review their

:18:14. > :18:17.tactics after each and every atrocity, especially with billing

:18:18. > :18:22.and knees, but people may see tonight is more roadblocks. They

:18:23. > :18:25.will be out accordance as well as in accordions -- Berlin and Nice. More

:18:26. > :18:29.traffic will be stopped and roadblocks put in place to stop

:18:30. > :18:33.trucks and lorries and flagged down the drivers in question them and see

:18:34. > :18:36.what they are doing before waving them on their way if they are of

:18:37. > :18:39.course just going about their business. We talked mainly about

:18:40. > :18:46.because parts about what is going on, but a scattering of the work, we

:18:47. > :18:52.don't know about that -- obviously a lot of the work. As we enjoy the

:18:53. > :18:56.revelry of New Year's if tonight, I can guarantee you somewhere around

:18:57. > :19:00.the country, there will be people from the intelligence services or

:19:01. > :19:07.the police digging into observation points in very cold, wet and

:19:08. > :19:12.uncomfortable situations doing their job 24/7, 365 days of the year,

:19:13. > :19:16.often quite heroically to try to keep us also. Peter, thank you for

:19:17. > :19:18.your time this morning. Have a happy New Year.

:19:19. > :19:21.The singer and actor Paul Robeson was a key figure in the American

:19:22. > :19:24.But what's less well known is his solidarity

:19:25. > :19:30.One of his lesser known films, The Proud Valley, has now been

:19:31. > :19:33.remastered by the British Film Institute, and is to be taken

:19:34. > :19:35.on tour as part of their season celebrating black actors.

:19:36. > :19:57.# Back to work # All through the night #.

:19:58. > :20:02.The story of a black man who enchanted a South Wales mining

:20:03. > :20:06.community. Paul Robeson's film The Proud Valley was a box office flop,

:20:07. > :20:11.but now it is being remastered and taken on tour. This is a former

:20:12. > :20:18.miner and trade union leader. For him, Paul Robeson is a leader. We

:20:19. > :20:22.remember seeing him there, he has something. Not only a voice but a

:20:23. > :20:27.way of speaking about half of his people, and that stayed with me for

:20:28. > :20:30.many years. Mining has now largely disappeared from the valleys of

:20:31. > :20:34.South Wales, but that connection between the people of these

:20:35. > :20:38.communities and the son of a slave who became a lawyer, a civil rights

:20:39. > :20:46.activist and one of the most famous actors of his generation endures.

:20:47. > :20:51.# Let it be known as two be proud Valley was made in 1940, but Paul

:20:52. > :20:56.Robeson's connection to Wales dates back to the 1920s when he met a

:20:57. > :20:59.group of miners who walked from South Wales to London to draw

:21:00. > :21:03.attention to the hardship they enjoyed. The first time, he saw the

:21:04. > :21:12.miners' struggle was similar to his own for rights. My warmest greetings

:21:13. > :21:16.to the people of my beloved Wales. In 1957, Paul Robeson was banned

:21:17. > :21:19.from travelling. He addressed a group of miners from a secret

:21:20. > :21:29.studio. Thousands gathered to hear him sing at the miners' area. It was

:21:30. > :21:34.quite stunning, quite electric that we heard his voice coming from the

:21:35. > :21:40.studio in New York. Paul Robeson was one of the few people who actually

:21:41. > :21:44.stood up to racism and the lynchings in the deep South and campaigned for

:21:45. > :21:50.peace and campaigned for Colonial Freedom. He had that same

:21:51. > :21:55.internationalist view that the southern Wales miners had, a shared

:21:56. > :21:58.common humanity. It is that history that the British Film Institute is

:21:59. > :22:04.celebrating as part of its black start season. Paul Robeson was

:22:05. > :22:08.especially proud of this film because it gave him an opportunity

:22:09. > :22:15.to express his socialist beliefs, and he could represent the Wales

:22:16. > :22:19.working class. In many of his films he felt he could not do this

:22:20. > :22:23.through, because he was oppressed by the Hollywood system. An exhibition

:22:24. > :22:28.of his work will run at the BFI Southbank in London until the end of

:22:29. > :22:29.January, but perhaps it is in South Wales he will be most fondly

:22:30. > :22:41.remembered. We will take a moment now to look

:22:42. > :22:46.back at what has been an extraordinary year, 2016. It has

:22:47. > :22:48.been quite incredible. A lot of people feel like they need a lie

:22:49. > :22:50.down in a dark room after it. From the deaths of some

:22:51. > :22:52.of the world's best-known celebrities, to dramatic political

:22:53. > :22:54.moments, extraordinary scientific feats and epic sporting

:22:55. > :22:57.achievements, to name but a few. It's also been a year of big

:22:58. > :23:00.change here on Breakfast. So as 2017 approaches,

:23:01. > :23:03.we'd like to share with you some of the moments that made us laugh

:23:04. > :23:20.and cry over the last 12 months. 2016 was a year of change on BBC

:23:21. > :23:25.Breakfast. The year we say goodbye to a old friend, Bill. Straight down

:23:26. > :23:30.the middle. I was taking a great interest in your isobars. Are they

:23:31. > :23:36.tightly packed? They are. I meant nothing by that. I'm so glad they

:23:37. > :23:41.did not do the job is one. Goodbye. After 15 years on BBC Breakfast,

:23:42. > :23:46.Bill Turnbull finally gave up the four AM alarm calls. Now the day has

:23:47. > :23:51.come for you to sort that sofa for a bed in the long-awaited my ins. We

:23:52. > :23:59.said goodbye to tell. Do you see the love and affection he has?

:24:00. > :24:05.Beautiful. All change, all over. So much of it so surprising. There will

:24:06. > :24:19.be a new president and it could be Donald Trump. I believe that won't

:24:20. > :24:25.reveal itself. It really has been a year of surprises, and who could

:24:26. > :24:32.have predicted this? Describe yourself in one word. Awesome.

:24:33. > :24:37.Awesome. Awesome. BBC Breakfast thrilled in a glittering gold rush

:24:38. > :24:45.of a summer. 52 models. Do you shove the bronze in the top job? Where

:24:46. > :24:51.will you put all of the gold? Just a few have popped over to see Sally.

:24:52. > :24:56.She has some new friends. Fresh from Rio, there was one place our

:24:57. > :25:02.medallists chose to come. Go for it. Is that Max Whitlock on the pole

:25:03. > :25:09.vault outside my office? It is really him! I can touch him, he is

:25:10. > :25:20.real. Describe yourself in one word. Determined! Kadeena Cox and Gordon

:25:21. > :25:31.Reid. I can't leave you out. From Olympic champions... To read so the

:25:32. > :25:35.champions. Naga shone on Strictly. Louise was nearly the Masterchef.

:25:36. > :25:46.The trophy you didn't quite win. So close. And as for Ore... But the

:25:47. > :25:51.real star of BBC Breakfast has always been you, and in 2016, so

:25:52. > :25:56.many of you have inspired us. Running for me has been something

:25:57. > :26:00.that I have used to help combat mental illness that I suffered

:26:01. > :26:06.throughout my 20s. Four years ago, I could not even run for a bus. We

:26:07. > :26:13.have done it. We are so proud of what we have done. What are you

:26:14. > :26:24.right now? Cattanach. -- cancer free. Again? Cancer free. How does

:26:25. > :26:28.it feel? As stories are due to get that check, make that change. I

:26:29. > :26:34.would say to the boys and girls, to never give out. 2016 was not all

:26:35. > :26:40.bad. And we have helped deliver some of the best bits. There she was,

:26:41. > :26:46.just presenting Harper Lee. And then she decided to have an event later

:26:47. > :26:51.on. -- Papley. We have also delivered some of the West. We will

:26:52. > :26:54.be joined by Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, talking about plans

:26:55. > :26:58.for a second referendum on independence. We have clearly run

:26:59. > :27:03.the wrong pictures over that particular sequence. We have not

:27:04. > :27:12.always got it right. I will get it wrong now. Yes, but no, but. And you

:27:13. > :27:19.have been happy to tell us where we got wrong. I'm so sorry. Lots of

:27:20. > :27:25.people have been commenting on this lovely dress. Some people said it

:27:26. > :27:31.was rhubarb custard. Some people have suggested you are wearing the

:27:32. > :27:37.Lothian away kit today. I have been getting grief today about this nice

:27:38. > :27:40.bit of whistle. But most of you choose to watch us over your cereal

:27:41. > :27:46.than any other breakfast you. -- show. And for that, the BBC

:27:47. > :27:48.Breakfast family would like to say thank you. Thank you! I say happy

:27:49. > :27:56.New Year. LAUGHTER

:27:57. > :28:04.Just watching Jessica Ennis-Hill during the hulahooping, now she is

:28:05. > :28:10.dying Jessica Ennis-Hill. How many have done hulahooping live on

:28:11. > :28:15.television? -- Dame. We will have more on the honours late on. And we

:31:18. > :31:20.league win in nearly two months after a late Everton

:31:21. > :31:23.equaliser at the K-com. The Tigers went ahead

:32:54. > :32:57.but Goffin fought back to win the set and take the match

:32:58. > :33:16.by two sets to love. Is great see Rafael Nadal back. It

:33:17. > :33:22.just goes to show how tough the composition is at the moment. You

:33:23. > :33:28.would think he was onto a surefire win. David Goffin has been

:33:29. > :33:29.relatively easy to beat previously this year.

:33:30. > :33:32.It's not surprising that so many athletes feature in this year's

:34:03. > :34:04.With the Olympics, the Paralympics, football's European Championship,

:34:05. > :34:07.and a whole host of other major sporting events, 2016 was a year

:34:08. > :34:44.that began full of optimism, and it did not disappoint.

:34:45. > :34:46.2016 was a year of extraordinary sporting achievement -

:34:47. > :34:49.athletes striving to go faster, higher, stronger.

:34:50. > :34:52.If those were the aims then this was very much the reward -

:34:53. > :34:56.the heroes' parade of returning Paralympics and Olympians, many

:34:57. > :35:01.living up to the high expectations, so many surpassing it.

:35:02. > :35:04.There's only one place, really, we can start this review of 2016,

:35:05. > :35:07.and that is some 6000 miles away from murky Manchester -

:35:08. > :35:15.Rio, where this heroes' parade, really began.

:35:16. > :35:21.Brazil welcomes the world with open arms.

:35:22. > :35:24.But just who would be lining up beside them?

:35:25. > :35:26.After months of claims and revelations of widespread

:35:27. > :35:29.doping, Russia were at the Olympics - their track and

:35:30. > :35:38.But, as they say in sport, you can only beat what is in front of you.

:35:53. > :35:54.It is carnival time for Great Britain.

:35:55. > :35:56.History being written and then rewritten.

:35:57. > :36:01.These were tales of triumph, passion.

:36:02. > :36:08.All games need their superstars, Rio had plenty.

:36:09. > :36:10.Some catapulted themselves onto the biggest stage.

:36:11. > :36:16.For others, a final flourish before a fond farewell.

:36:17. > :36:20.There were those that arrived as superstars, leave as legends.

:36:21. > :36:28.Usain Bolt is going what he always does, it is gold again.

:37:00. > :37:07.But amidst such company even giving everything

:37:08. > :37:18.Great Britain have won the Olympic gold medal.

:37:19. > :37:20.Marvellous moments in the marvellous city, and that was before

:37:21. > :37:27.When they did, those special moments just kept on coming.

:37:28. > :37:29.147 medals for Para GB, 64 of them glittering gold.

:37:30. > :37:31.Again and again expectations met, and then exceeded.

:37:32. > :37:35.You can see a detailed review of all the Rio games

:37:36. > :37:40.on the BBC News Channel over the festive period.

:37:41. > :37:45.So many extraordinary achievements on which to look back and enjoy.

:37:46. > :37:53.Few people could have predicted the scale of the success

:37:54. > :37:57.for Great Britain in Rio, but then perhaps 2016 was the year

:37:58. > :38:09.And there were no bigger shocks anywhere than in the Premier League.

:38:10. > :38:12.In the beginning I felt something special, but of course

:38:13. > :38:26.There were no odds I would have taken at the start of the season.

:38:27. > :38:30.10 million to one, I would have thought, "No,

:38:31. > :38:36.The more that the games passed, we started to

:38:53. > :38:54.Claudio Ranieri wins the Premier League, Leicester City

:38:55. > :39:07.Seeing my team do this it has been amazing.

:39:08. > :39:24.This is a team of players where they have been

:39:25. > :39:27.plucked from other clubs, free transfers, it is just the most

:39:28. > :39:30.incredible achievement, I believe, in British sport.

:39:31. > :39:34.I think it is genuinely the biggest sporting shock in...

:39:35. > :39:39.I cannot think of anything that surpasses it in terms of the team.

:39:40. > :39:43.And if it means I have to wear my pants during Match Of The Day,

:39:44. > :40:00.Leicester repeating that incredible season was always a lot to ask

:40:01. > :40:03.but they did continue their amazing journey into the Champions League.

:40:04. > :40:05.There were hopes of another upset in the FA Cup.

:40:06. > :40:11.Crystal Palace ahead, but their joy would not last.

:40:12. > :40:22.A rare moment of triumph for Louis Van Gaal's

:40:23. > :40:26.side as his reign came to a rather inevitable end.

:40:27. > :40:32.The League Cup went to Manchester also, City defeating

:40:33. > :40:34.Liverpool on penalties, the Reds were also defeated

:40:35. > :40:37.Manchester clubs dominated the domestic cup competitions,

:40:38. > :40:40.the women also did their bit - Manchester City winning

:40:41. > :40:43.the Continental Cup and the Woman's Super League One.

:40:44. > :40:45.A more established name on the FA Cup.

:40:46. > :40:48.Arsenal Ladies winning for a 14th time in front of a record crowd.

:40:49. > :40:51.In Scotland, Celtic were champions again with Glasgow City dominant

:40:52. > :40:54.in the women's game, and at Hampden Park, their 114 year

:40:55. > :40:56.wait for a Scottish Cup ended for Hibernian.

:40:57. > :41:00.It's been a long wait, too, for Ross County.

:41:01. > :41:04.The League Cup was their first major trophy.

:41:05. > :41:07.They were allowed to keep it for just eight months.

:41:08. > :41:10.Celtic now champions as the cup was awarded

:41:11. > :41:16.But for Scottish football fans the domestic

:41:17. > :41:20.But for the other home nations, well, plenty of tales to tell

:41:21. > :41:24.With Wales, Northern Ireland, and England all making it

:41:25. > :41:26.to the European Championship in France, hopes were high

:41:27. > :41:35.But at times those memories were threatened with being tarnished,

:41:36. > :41:38.violence on the streets involving England fans a worrying reminder

:41:39. > :41:53.On the pitch, disappointingly, it was the same story.

:41:54. > :41:55.A late Russian equaliser in Marseille set the tone

:41:56. > :41:58.A horrible, horrible end to the night.

:41:59. > :42:01.But whilst they were underachieving, Northern Ireland and Wales, well,

:42:02. > :42:02.they were far exceeding expectations.

:42:03. > :42:05.For both, it was a first European Championship.

:42:06. > :42:18.Even a late, late defeat against England could not

:42:19. > :42:22.A rare high note for England, but it was Wales who

:42:23. > :42:33.Ramsey, on side, Aaron Ramsey with a dink, and Wales have the lead!

:42:34. > :42:36.Ramsey, weaving it through to Bale, he is onside, surely this time...

:42:37. > :42:45.In Paris they would meet Northern Ireland.

:42:46. > :42:49.What a moment for everybody involved.

:42:50. > :42:51.Only one team could progress, a heartbreaking end

:42:52. > :42:56.for Michael O'Neill's side, in particular for Gareth McAuley.

:42:57. > :43:06.Another Welsh win, and they go to the quarterfinals.

:43:07. > :43:09.With the Northern Ireland tournament over, they left with plenty

:43:10. > :43:13.If only the same could be said for England.

:43:14. > :43:15.Ahead against one of the tournament's big surprises,

:43:16. > :43:20.Iceland have turned it round to lead.

:43:21. > :43:23.Defeat was as humbling and humiliating as anything

:43:24. > :43:28.There is disbelief right around the ground.

:43:29. > :43:33.From England fans, and Iceland supporters.

:43:34. > :43:35.The England manager, Roy Hodgson, has resigned

:43:36. > :43:39.Now is the time for somebody else to oversee the progress

:43:40. > :43:44.of this young, hungry, extremely talented group.

:43:45. > :43:47.So it was left to Wales to fly the flag for the home nations,

:43:48. > :43:50.a quarterfinal against Belgium, perhaps the most magnificent night

:43:51. > :44:06.Something special is happening here tonight.

:44:07. > :44:13.For most fans, even beyond their wildest dreams.

:44:14. > :44:16.Passion, determination and desire had carried them further

:44:17. > :44:18.than anybody thought possible, but even all that just

:44:19. > :44:23.It will be Portugal in Paris on Sunday.

:44:24. > :44:29.Welcome to the end of the month-long party.

:44:30. > :44:32.To upset that French party, Portugal took their time.

:44:33. > :44:44.But the wait for a first major tournament win was worth it.

:44:45. > :45:00.Back home, for Wales, hopes that this now might begin

:45:01. > :45:05.Wales came to the airport and I got my shoe and my book signed.

:45:06. > :45:12.Tonight at ten, a significant error of judgment means that

:45:13. > :45:15.Sam Allardyce is no longer the England football manager.

:45:16. > :45:17.He had been in the job for just two months.

:45:18. > :45:20.The FA has terminated his contract with immediate effect...

:45:21. > :45:23.So in came Gareth Southgate, the third manager in as many

:45:24. > :45:32.And as the Football Association continues to recover, above them,

:45:33. > :45:35.Fifa were trying to start afresh with Gianni Infantino the new man

:45:36. > :45:46.charged with rescuing the damaged reputation of the organisation.

:45:47. > :45:50.Danny Willett was not even supposed to be at the Masters,

:45:51. > :45:54.let alone win it, but the early arrival of his baby son

:45:55. > :45:58.His round finished, he watched on from the clubhouse

:45:59. > :46:03.A quick call to tell his new family that he would be bringing home

:46:04. > :46:12.The 2016 US Masters champion, Danny Willett.

:46:13. > :46:16.There was a first Major winner too at Troon in the Open,

:46:17. > :46:17.an astonishing final round from Henrik Stenson

:10:16. > :10:19.These are the guns that by January 1 will be illegal

:10:20. > :10:24.unless it their owners have a licence.

:10:25. > :10:26.Already 11,000 people have applied for an air gun certificate

:10:27. > :10:30.and anyone with a gun licence already can add air weapons

:10:31. > :10:37.But thousands of air gun owners have missed the deadline of October 31

:10:38. > :10:41.Anyone who applied for a certificate before October 31 is OK

:10:42. > :10:46.Unfortunately, those who applied after that will have to wait

:10:47. > :10:54.They will have to make alternative arrangements for the safe storage

:10:55. > :11:07.Registered gun dealers like this one in Inverness are providing a safe

:11:08. > :11:10.house for air weapons whose owners want to keep them

:11:11. > :11:12.but won't be licensed by Sunday morning.

:11:13. > :11:15.Many of those in the gun trade think the clampdown

:11:16. > :11:17.is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

:11:18. > :11:19.Shooting people at high rise flats is illegal.

:11:20. > :11:21.You're not allowed to do that, you never were.

:11:22. > :11:25.This legislation is a piece of tokenism which will achieve nothing.

:11:26. > :11:28.The people who will misuse air rifle are not the type of people

:11:29. > :11:32.who are going to go to the trouble of licensing their weapons anyway.

:11:33. > :11:35.But backers of the new laws say air weapons are involved in half

:11:36. > :11:38.of all gun crime in Scotland and with an estimated 500,000

:11:39. > :11:41.of them in Scotland, tightening the legislation is justified.

:11:42. > :11:44.Thousands of airguns have already been handed in to police

:11:45. > :12:02.The New Years honours list recognises some of the biggest names

:12:03. > :12:06.But, of the 1,197 people who've been awarded medals,

:12:07. > :12:08.three-quarters of them are being recognised for their work

:12:09. > :12:12.One of those is the mental health campaigner Jonny Benjamin.

:12:13. > :12:19.He's been made an MBE, and he joins us from our London newsroom.

:12:20. > :12:25.Thank you for talking to us this morning. First of all, I do know how

:12:26. > :12:29.many people have said it so far but congratulations. Thank you, I

:12:30. > :12:32.appreciate it. Have you had much reaction from friends and family

:12:33. > :12:37.yet? Killam it is been astonishing. It hasn't sunk in yet. -- it has

:12:38. > :12:42.been astonishing. Added the wheel until I get to the palace and

:12:43. > :12:48.receive the awards. It doesn't feel real. --I don't think it will.

:12:49. > :12:53.Remind us of your story. It goes back a few years when you were at a

:12:54. > :13:00.low point? It was nine years ago at this current point and I was unwell,

:13:01. > :13:07.I had just been diagnosed with a form of schizophrenia. I had given

:13:08. > :13:12.up and went to a bridge to take my own life. A passerby stopped me and

:13:13. > :13:18.talk me out of it. He gave me words of hope and encouragement. We went

:13:19. > :13:22.our separate ways and I began to recover eventually and six years on

:13:23. > :13:27.I launched a campaign to find him which went viral and we were

:13:28. > :13:31.reignited two weeks into the campaign which was extraordinary.

:13:32. > :13:38.Since then, I've been doing lots of campaigning work in schools,

:13:39. > :13:44.prisons, hospitals, businesses to talk about suicide and mental

:13:45. > :13:52.health. We were taught more about the campaign at the moment but you

:13:53. > :13:56.are running in the marathon? You're running partner is the man who spoke

:13:57. > :14:00.you on that day. It is extraordinary when I think about it. Yes, we are

:14:01. > :14:05.running together. We are running for Heads Together which is the charity

:14:06. > :14:12.that Prince William and Kate Middleton set up. We haven't started

:14:13. > :14:17.training at. I probably shouldn't say that... We have a big challenge

:14:18. > :14:22.ahead of us. A few months of hard work coming up. People will be

:14:23. > :14:26.interested in your story because he had a very difficult time in your

:14:27. > :14:30.life and what you chose to do was start to try and help other people.

:14:31. > :14:33.When other people might have thought of just looking after themselves,

:14:34. > :14:38.why did you go down that path? I suffered in silence for so many

:14:39. > :14:47.years, throughout my teenage years and into my early 20s. I suffered in

:14:48. > :14:51.complete silence. It's torture. Whether you have any type of

:14:52. > :14:57.illness, physical or mental but to go through it in silence and to

:14:58. > :15:01.isolate yourself, it adds to the impact of the illness. I just want

:15:02. > :15:04.to get rid of that stigma and the fear that is attached to mental

:15:05. > :15:08.health. That's why I've been doing all the work.

:15:09. > :15:15.Particularly working with young people. I'm desperate to get mental

:15:16. > :15:19.health into the education system. 75% of all mental health begins in

:15:20. > :15:24.adolescence and I know if people had come into my school, things might

:15:25. > :15:28.have been different. I want to stop other young people from going down

:15:29. > :15:32.the road I did. Suicide is now the biggest killer of young people in

:15:33. > :15:38.this country under 35. I desperately want to do more to reduce that.

:15:39. > :15:46.Those figures are shocking. Do you think the climate is changing. The

:15:47. > :15:50.fillets getting easier, better, people are more prepared to talk

:15:51. > :15:54.openly? -- do you feel. People are being more open. People are doing

:15:55. > :16:02.amazing things out there, trying to raise awareness and reduce stigma

:16:03. > :16:08.but until there is a parity of things between mental and physical

:16:09. > :16:11.health, particularly in the NHS, there is still not the parity that

:16:12. > :16:14.the government promised. People have been waiting three years mental

:16:15. > :16:25.health treatment which is unacceptable. Until mental health is

:16:26. > :16:29.treated the same as physical health, it won't change. We wish you all the

:16:30. > :16:35.best with your quest for marathons successful stop you might get a few

:16:36. > :16:41.tips from Sir Mo Farah. Congratulations.

:16:42. > :16:53.Thank you. What an amazing lead, and making such a difference.

:16:54. > :16:54.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:16:55. > :16:58.Andy Murray and Mo Farah have been recognised with knighthoods,

:16:59. > :17:01.while Jessica Ennis-Hill and Katherine Grainger become Dames

:17:02. > :17:04.Thousands of travellers face disruption this morning

:17:05. > :17:07.as freezing fog in parts of England leads to flights being cancelled,

:17:08. > :17:18.We mentioned weather causing travel disruptions, and to match can tell

:17:19. > :17:23.us how it will pan out over the next couple of days. That is not the most

:17:24. > :17:28.optimistic picture. It is not as bad as it has been over the last couple

:17:29. > :17:33.of days. There will be some fog patches around. It is most dense

:17:34. > :17:38.towards the south-east of England. Not as bad as recent days. It was

:17:39. > :17:42.though they moved into low cloud. It will impact the roads and airports

:17:43. > :17:48.do the coming hours. Be aware if you are heading out. You can see the Fog

:17:49. > :17:53.showing up here. Low cloud elsewhere across parts of central and southern

:17:54. > :17:58.England. Breaks in the cloud for Wales and the east of northern

:17:59. > :18:01.England. Morning sunshine. Brighter spells to the east and brightness

:18:02. > :18:07.across the east of Scotland. In the north-west, a risk of flooding. Lots

:18:08. > :18:12.of rain. Over 100 millimetres of rain in the past 24 hours in the

:18:13. > :18:15.Highlands. Rain for much of the day but it will eventually shift with

:18:16. > :18:19.gusty winds into Northern Ireland and the south of Scotland by the

:18:20. > :18:24.time we enter the afternoon. Most will be dry. The best brighter skies

:18:25. > :18:28.for Eastern Wales and England with sunshine. Temperatures up to 12

:18:29. > :18:35.degrees in one or two struggling at around five or six. It is New Year's

:18:36. > :18:38.it. Hogmanay, what weather can we expect? If you are heading out early

:18:39. > :18:43.across Scotland and Northern Ireland, you will need a rain jacket

:18:44. > :18:49.for the evening. That will clear by midnight. It will feel cold with

:18:50. > :18:52.showers. Further south, ring into northern England by the time we get

:18:53. > :18:57.to midnight. It will turn increasingly wet. Drizzle across

:18:58. > :19:02.other parts of western England and Wales, but most will be dry. Across

:19:03. > :19:04.the southern half of the UK, compared to recent days,

:19:05. > :19:09.comparatively mild. The coldest conditions as we keep midnight will

:19:10. > :19:13.be across Scotland and Northern Ireland, not helped by a strong cold

:19:14. > :19:18.wind. It will make itself known as we started us on 17. Especially for

:19:19. > :19:23.the northern half of the country. The weather front will take a long

:19:24. > :19:29.time to clear away -- started 2017. Rain on and off with a bit of sweet

:19:30. > :19:34.mixed in on the hills. For the northern half of the country, one or

:19:35. > :19:39.two wintry showers, and that nicely for Monday and Tuesday. One or two

:19:40. > :19:44.wintry flurries. Mostly dry and sunshine by day, but the nights will

:19:45. > :19:47.be chilly with widespread frost. The nights will be chilly. I am

:19:48. > :19:53.impressed with the fireworks in graphics. For a moment, I thought

:19:54. > :19:57.what is that going on? Then I realised it is fireworks, we are all

:19:58. > :20:00.right. To celebrate the New Year! Thank you.

:20:01. > :20:03.The singer and actor Paul Robeson was a key figure in the American

:20:04. > :20:07.But what's not as well known is his solidarity

:20:08. > :20:11.One of his lesser known films, The Proud Valley, has now been

:20:12. > :20:14.remastered by the British Film Institute, and is to be taken

:20:15. > :20:17.on tour as part of their season celebrating black actors.

:20:18. > :20:37.who enchanted a South Wales mining community, Paul Robeson's film

:20:38. > :20:39.The Proud Valley was a box office flop,

:20:40. > :20:43.but now it's being remastered and taken on tour.

:20:44. > :20:46.Ivor England is a former miner and trade union leader.

:20:47. > :20:53.The old man, I could remember him saying Robeson has got something.

:20:54. > :20:57.Not only a voice, but a way of speaking on behalf of his people,

:20:58. > :21:01.and that stayed with me for very many years.

:21:02. > :21:04.Mining has now largely disappeared from the valleys of South Wales,

:21:05. > :21:09.but that connection between the people of these

:21:10. > :21:12.communities and the son of a slave who became a lawyer,

:21:13. > :21:15.a civil rights activist and one of the most famous

:21:16. > :21:27.but Paul Robeson's connection to Wales dates back to the 1920s

:21:28. > :21:31.when he met a group of miners who walked from South Wales

:21:32. > :21:35.to London to draw attention to the hardship they endured.

:21:36. > :21:38.For the first time, he saw the miners' struggle was similar

:21:39. > :21:41.to his own struggle for civil rights.

:21:42. > :21:46.My warmest greetings to the people of my beloved Wales...

:21:47. > :21:49.In 1957, Robeson was banned from travelling.

:21:50. > :21:53.He addressed a group of miners from a secret studio.

:21:54. > :21:55.Thousands gathered to hear him sing at the Miners'

:21:56. > :22:03.It was quite stunning, quite electric that

:22:04. > :22:09.we heard his voice coming from this studio in New York.

:22:10. > :22:12.Paul Robeson was one of the few people who actually

:22:13. > :22:16.stood up to racism and the lynchings in the deep South and campaigned

:22:17. > :22:21.for peace and campaigned for colonial freedom.

:22:22. > :22:25.He had that same internationalist view that the South Wales miners

:22:26. > :22:32.It is that history that the British Film Institute is celebrating

:22:33. > :22:39.Paul Robeson was particularly proud of this film

:22:40. > :22:42.because it gave him an opportunity to express his socialist beliefs,

:22:43. > :22:49.and he could represent the Wales working class.

:22:50. > :22:52.In many of his films, he felt he could not do this

:22:53. > :22:55.through, because he was oppressed by the Hollywood system.

:22:56. > :22:58.An exhibition of Robeson's work will run at the BFI Southbank

:22:59. > :23:02.in London until the end of January, but perhaps it is in South Wales

:23:03. > :23:21.If you were watching yesterday, you may remember we brought you news

:23:22. > :23:23.of the 'leap second' - an extra moment of time

:23:24. > :23:26.which will be added to the final minute of 2016.

:23:27. > :23:29.It's fair to say we found the entire concept pretty baffling,

:23:30. > :23:31.so this morning we've brought in an actual

:23:32. > :23:35.bona fide scientist to set us straight.

:23:36. > :23:38.We'll chat to Professor Tim O'Brien in a moment, but first,

:23:39. > :23:44.here's our science correspondent, Rebecca Morelle.

:23:45. > :23:55.This New Year's if, you have a tiny bit longer to enjoy the

:23:56. > :23:59.celebrations. An extra second is being added to the world time. It is

:24:00. > :24:04.all because of a slight wobble in the Earth's rotation. Our planet

:24:05. > :24:09.speeds up and slows down as it spins. While a single rotation

:24:10. > :24:13.equates to one day, Sunday 's end up being a tiny fraction longer or

:24:14. > :24:18.shorter than others. And gradually the Earth's time drifts out of sync

:24:19. > :24:22.with our clocks. Right now, that difference has grown too large, so

:24:23. > :24:27.just before the clock struck midnight, an extra second is being

:24:28. > :24:35.added to bring everything back into place. They have been calls to

:24:36. > :24:39.abolish the extra seconds. Communications networks, financial

:24:40. > :24:43.markets and computer software all rely on extremely precise

:24:44. > :24:47.timekeeping. Some say but having to reprogram an extra second puts them

:24:48. > :24:52.at risk. Others warned that without leap seconds, over thousands of

:24:53. > :24:56.years, the's time and our clocks will grow more and more offkilter,

:24:57. > :24:58.so much so that one day you watch might say it is midnight as the sun

:24:59. > :25:14.is starting to rise. Fascinating. With us is professor

:25:15. > :25:17.Tim O'Brien, and associate director. And a president for popular

:25:18. > :25:23.astronomy. You should know what you are talking about. From what Rebecca

:25:24. > :25:28.said they are, in the 1970s, this first started, and they have been 27

:25:29. > :25:32.times we have had an extra second added. Explain why it is so

:25:33. > :25:37.important. When you think about how long a day is, you might say it is

:25:38. > :25:42.24 hours long, but historically, we would have counted it by movement of

:25:43. > :25:47.the sun, from noon on to noon on the next day. The time it takes for the

:25:48. > :25:53.Earth to spin around once is just slightly longer than 24 hours. 24

:25:54. > :26:03.hours and to thousands of a second. So as time goes by, those 2/1000s of

:26:04. > :26:10.a second ad you end up being ahead of the time measured by the sun. We

:26:11. > :26:15.look at how far apart these are and try to keep it within one second of

:26:16. > :26:18.each other. We have to add these extra seconds every now and again.

:26:19. > :26:24.The Earth is going down in its rotation. Because of the tides, the

:26:25. > :26:28.Earth is gradually slowing down, so the days are gradually getting

:26:29. > :26:33.longer because of the tides. If you did not do it and it is a long time

:26:34. > :26:38.ahead, something like four or 5000 years, you would end up with 12 noon

:26:39. > :26:48.being at midnight in the middle of the night. It would be so offset.

:26:49. > :26:52.Over a long period of time. I got confused yesterday about when the

:26:53. > :27:00.extra second is. It is at the end of the day. . Is part of the state or

:27:01. > :27:07.tomorrow? It is an extra second added to the end. There are

:27:08. > :27:10.different ways of doing it. If you look at your digital clock and

:27:11. > :27:21.imagine it ticking towards midnight, it will go to 2359 and 59 seconds.

:27:22. > :27:34.Then it would go to 0000. We have to is putting an extra 62nd. -- 60

:27:35. > :27:41.second. So you have an extra second. In terms of computers, what are the

:27:42. > :27:46.implications? There has been a lot of debate. A lot of discussion about

:27:47. > :27:56.whether we should get rid of the week seconds altogether.

:27:57. > :28:00.Historically, thousands of years in the future, it is less if computers

:28:01. > :28:04.to handle. It is not impossible for them to do it. Lots of computer

:28:05. > :28:08.systems will be doing it today. The Google systems have slowed down

:28:09. > :28:12.clocks slightly all the way through the day, so rather than adding a

:28:13. > :28:17.second in one big lump at the end, they have gradually slowed things

:28:18. > :28:22.down. I love the fact that one second could be seen as a big lump.

:28:23. > :28:26.It is all important. You are right, especially when you get up this time

:28:27. > :28:30.of morning. And you will be with us later. I'm sure people will have

:28:31. > :28:34.questions. We will see you later. What will you do with your extra

:28:35. > :28:38.second tonight? I don't know. Could do anything! Another gin and tonic.

:28:39. > :28:51.danced under water and pommel-horsed with Max Whitlock.

:28:52. > :28:58.We'll bring you Mike Bushell's best bits from 2016.

:28:59. > :29:51.Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and

:29:52. > :29:55.Coming up in just a few minutes, Kat will have your

:29:56. > :29:58.But first at 07:30, a summary of this morning's main news.

:29:59. > :30:01.More than 100 of Britain's Olympic and Paralympic stars have been

:30:02. > :30:04.recognised in the New Year Honours list, with knighthoods

:30:05. > :30:09.The tennis world number one has capped off a year which saw him

:30:12. > :30:13.Katherine Grainger, Britain's most decorated female Olympian,

:30:14. > :30:16.has become a Dame, as has heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill.

:30:17. > :30:18.There's also a knighthood for the gold medal-winning

:30:19. > :30:28.The honours also include many famous names from

:30:29. > :30:34.Patricia Routledge, who played Hyacinth Bucket

:30:35. > :30:36.in "Keeping up Appearances", is made a Dame.

:30:37. > :30:39.And Ken Dodd, the veteran comedian famous for his tickle stick,

:30:40. > :30:44.There are also knighthoods for Ray Davies from the Kinks,

:30:45. > :30:55.There's a warning that heavy fog could cause further

:30:56. > :30:58.Yesterday the UK's biggest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick cancelled more

:30:59. > :31:02.the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning

:31:50. > :31:52.in to keep people safe following the terror attacks

:31:53. > :31:53.in Berlin and Nice earlier this year.

:31:54. > :31:56.Greater Manchester Police and other forces say they've also stepped up

:31:57. > :32:02.Those are the main stories this morning.

:32:03. > :32:08.It feels as though this has been a sports programme. It has been top of

:32:09. > :32:12.the show with all the sports stars getting the honours in the new Year

:32:13. > :32:16.'s honours list and then the review of the year, we look back on what

:32:17. > :32:21.was a great 2016 per sport. We know that for a number of us, 2016 has

:32:22. > :32:28.been one that we want to move on from that in sporting terms, it has

:32:29. > :32:31.been phenomenal. It is my job to techie through a skip of the action.

:32:32. > :32:32.-- take you. Hull City are off the bottom

:32:33. > :32:35.of the Premier League but they missed out on a first

:32:36. > :32:38.league win in nearly two months after a late Everton

:32:39. > :32:41.equaliser at the K-com. The Tigers went ahead

:32:42. > :32:43.but were pegged back then Robert Snodgrass scored this

:32:44. > :32:46.brilliant free kick in the They couldn't hang

:32:47. > :32:48.on for victory though, Ross Barkley nodded

:32:49. > :32:50.in the Everton equaliser late on. I'm really pleased because over

:32:51. > :32:54.the past 3-4 weeks, Today we put in a shift

:32:55. > :32:59.and got a point. We could be greedy and ask for more

:33:00. > :33:03.but I'm really proud of the players for their efforts and we have to go

:33:04. > :33:24.again in two, three days' time. He came backward from Argentina.

:33:25. > :33:39.Finally he came back after seven games. We are happy here is back. I

:33:40. > :33:59.hope that gave him the opportunity to have 3.5 weeks off. He can only

:34:00. > :34:06.score goals if people give him it. He can defend.

:34:07. > :34:09.The Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic takes place

:34:10. > :34:11.in the Scottish Premiership this lunchtime, meanwhile,

:34:12. > :34:15.The goal came from Jonny Hayes in the 66th minute.

:34:16. > :34:18.The third placed Dons are now six points ahead of Hearts,

:34:19. > :34:22.To rugby union, and George North will return for Northampton Saints

:34:23. > :34:24.in their Premiership match at Gloucester tomorrow.

:34:25. > :34:27.It will be the Welshman's first game since suffering a head injury

:34:28. > :34:29.against Leicester on December the third.

:34:30. > :34:31.That was North's fifth concussion in two years -

:34:32. > :34:34.including two in the match on your screen now between England

:34:35. > :34:38.A review board said North shouldn't have continued to play

:34:39. > :34:40.against Leicester but they didn't sanction Northampton.

:34:41. > :34:43.As we've been hearing Andy Murray has been knighted

:34:44. > :34:46.He'll play in the third-place playoff this morning

:34:47. > :34:50.after a surprise defeat yesterday to David Goffin in the semi-finals

:34:51. > :34:52.of the World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi.

:34:53. > :34:55.The world number one had won all five of his previous

:34:56. > :34:58.meetings with Goffin but lost the first set on a tie-break.

:34:59. > :35:01.Murray went 4-2 up in the second but Goffin fought back to win

:35:02. > :35:11.the set and take the match by two sets to love.

:35:12. > :35:16.And that is all the sport. There are no easy matches, as they say.

:35:17. > :35:18.We'll be back with the headlines at eight o'clock.

:35:19. > :35:21.Now, though,, let's have a look back at the biggest movie successes

:35:22. > :35:33.of 2016 - with a review of the year in film.

:35:34. > :35:37.Hello and welcome to this review of The Year In Film.

:35:38. > :35:40.I'm Mark Kermode, and we're here at the Cinema Museum in south

:35:41. > :35:43.London where, for the next half an hour, we will be

:35:44. > :35:45.looking back at some of the best movies released

:35:46. > :35:50.2016 was a pretty tumultuous year, what with the "Brexit" vote in June,

:35:51. > :35:53.and the results of the American election in November proving that

:35:54. > :35:59.In the world of politics, uncertainty can be alarming.

:36:00. > :36:02.When it comes to movies, it is the unexpected which really

:36:03. > :36:14.While the naysayers claim that movies today are just

:36:15. > :36:16.an endless slew of sequels, remakes and superhero franchise

:36:17. > :36:19.fodder, let's spend some time celebrating the films which offered

:36:20. > :36:21.something different, which prove that cinema today really

:36:22. > :36:52.2016 got off to a remarkable start with Room, Irish director

:36:53. > :36:54.Lenny Abrahamson's film about a mother and child inprisoned,

:36:55. > :36:57.adapted by screenwriter Emma Donoghue from her bestselling novel.

:36:58. > :36:59.Room opened in the UK in January to rave reviews,

:37:00. > :37:03.particularly for Brie Larson, who went on to win both the Bafta

:37:04. > :37:09.You're going to help me trick Old Nick.

:37:10. > :37:19.Old Nick is going to come and take you outside,

:37:20. > :37:22.and I'm going to be there in your head talking

:37:23. > :37:40.The Oscar for Best Picture went to Spotlight, a fact-based drama

:37:41. > :37:42.about the Boston Globe's coverage of a child abuse scandal

:37:43. > :37:46.But the Oscars themselves were mired with headline-grabbing controversy

:37:47. > :37:49.when the subject of racism in Hollywood and the Oscarssowhite

:37:50. > :37:52.Of the 20 Oscar nominees for Best Actor, Actress,

:37:53. > :37:54.Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress,

:37:55. > :38:00.Oh, and in the Best Director category, all the nominees

:38:01. > :38:04.It's a depressing state of affairs and the Academy have taken steps

:38:05. > :38:07.to ensure their membership becomes more diverse, but, despite such

:38:08. > :38:10.embarrassment, there was one area in which the Oscars got it right,

:38:11. > :38:13.and that was in the Foreign Language Film category.

:38:14. > :38:17.Having premiered in Cannes, back in 2015, Laszlo Nemes' searing

:38:18. > :38:20.holocaust drama Son of Saul took the Oscar for Foreign Language

:38:21. > :38:27.With Claude Lanzmann the filmmaker behind Shoah,

:38:28. > :38:29.declaring that this Hungarian masterpiece presented a very real

:38:30. > :38:32.sense of what it was like to be in the Sonderkommando.

:38:33. > :38:50.Son of Saul was a deserving Oscar winner, but nominated alongside it

:38:51. > :38:53.were some of the best films to open in UK cinemas in 2016.

:38:54. > :38:55.From director Ciro Guerra came Embrace of the Serpent,

:38:56. > :38:58.a monochrome mix of fact and fantasy, Western exploration

:38:59. > :39:00.and Amazonian myth that earned Colombia its first nomination

:39:01. > :39:14.From France, Mustang, a tale of Turkish sisters

:39:15. > :39:16.imprisoned in their home by a controlling uncle.

:39:17. > :39:18.Beautifully directed by Deniz Gamze Erguven,

:39:19. > :39:20.who coached vibrant performances from her ensemble cast,

:39:21. > :39:23.Mustang also benefited from a terrific score by Warren

:39:24. > :39:38.Ellis is one of modern cinema's most intriguing composers.

:39:39. > :39:41.alongside the likes of Johnny Greenwood and Clint Mansell,

:39:42. > :39:44.who did superb work on Ben Wheatley's adaptation of JG

:39:45. > :39:49.Ballard's dystopian novel, High-Rise, his woozy,

:39:50. > :39:51.sensuous score perfectly capturing the film's

:39:52. > :40:11.High-Rise opened in UK cinemas in March, where it went head-to-head

:40:12. > :40:13.with the Coen Brothers' splendid throwback Hollywood fantasy, Hail,

:40:14. > :40:16.Caesar!, one of the most delightfully silly films

:40:17. > :40:20.Why do you say it like that, why do you say "t'were"?

:40:21. > :40:22.Well, you said "say it like I say it."

:40:23. > :40:27.It's interminable, the word, I'm wondering when it will end,

:40:28. > :40:30.and we shouldn't be wondering, should we, we should be marching

:40:31. > :40:36.When April rolled around, nothing could touch The Jungle Book,

:40:37. > :40:39.Disney's reboot of its classic cartoon which became the real

:40:40. > :40:41.king of the swingers at the UK box office.

:40:42. > :40:44.Billed as a live action affair, The Jungle Book

:40:45. > :40:46.was in fact almost entirely CGI with the young star,

:40:47. > :40:49.Neel Sethi's Mowgli being one of the very few

:40:50. > :40:52.live-action elements in a movie which cast Idris Elba as a digital

:40:53. > :40:55.Shere Khan, Bill Murray as a lovable Baloo the bear,

:40:56. > :41:00.and Christopher Walken as a gigantic King Louie.

:41:01. > :41:03.Moving on to May, and Once director John Carney's Sing Street put

:41:04. > :41:07.a smile on my face and a spring in my step with its tale

:41:08. > :41:10.of a teenager's pop-tastic adventures in the mysterious world

:41:11. > :41:28.Meanwhile, over in France, the 69th Cannes Film Festival

:41:29. > :41:31.offered yet more reason for rejoicing as Ken Loach

:41:32. > :41:35.won his second Palme d'Or for the social realist drama I,

:41:36. > :41:40.Having previously claimed the top prize with The Wind

:41:41. > :41:43.That Shakes The Barley, Ken Loach, who turned 80 this year,

:41:44. > :41:46.won the judges over once again with his blistering tale

:41:47. > :41:49.of a Newcastle joiner recovering from a heart attack who finds

:41:50. > :42:00.himself on the wrong end of a bureaucratic benefit system.

:42:01. > :42:02.Superbly scripted by Paul Lafferty, with outstanding performances

:42:03. > :42:05.by Dave Johns and Hayley Squires, I, Daniel Blake is powerful

:42:06. > :42:11.No wonder both Johns and Squires were honoured

:42:12. > :42:13.with trophies at the recent British Independent Film Awards.

:42:14. > :42:15.What I gather now is the decision-maker,

:42:16. > :42:17.the decision-maker's gonna be sending you a letter

:42:18. > :42:23.My kids have to start school tomorrow, I've got

:42:24. > :42:28.All because you can't just calm down and listen to people when they talk,

:42:29. > :42:33.You know what, I've listened to you, you've created a scene.

:42:34. > :42:36.No mate, if I was going to create a scene, you'd know about it.

:42:37. > :42:44.Do you mind if this young lass signs on first?

:42:45. > :42:49.Now you can go back to your desk and let her sign on and do the job

:42:50. > :42:54.The Jury Prize at Cannes also went to a British film-maker,

:42:55. > :42:56.Andrea Arnold, whose first US-set feature, American Honey, went

:42:57. > :43:02.Centring on Sasha Lane's Texan teen who hits the road with a group

:43:03. > :43:05.of young magazine sellers, American Honey was shot by I,

:43:06. > :43:07.Daniel Blake's cinematographer, Robbie Ryan, who worked wonders

:43:08. > :43:09.with the square Academy ratio frame which is

:43:10. > :43:30.Remarkable, too, to see Transformers star Shia LaBeouf doing career-best

:43:31. > :43:33.work in a film which is the very antithesis of those

:43:34. > :43:37.bloated blockbuster movies, which made him a star.

:43:38. > :43:40.Of course, those blockbuster movies continue to thrive.

:43:41. > :43:42.The Transformers franchise was very much in evidence

:43:43. > :43:44.here in the autumn as they shot scenes

:43:45. > :43:47.for the forthcoming Transformers: The Last Night, which we can

:43:48. > :43:54.In the mean time, the summer of 2016 was dominated by the return

:43:55. > :43:56.of a forgetful fish, who made a whale-size

:43:57. > :43:59.splash at the box office despite her diminutive portions.

:44:00. > :44:02.Disney-Pixar's Finding Dory was one of a slew of animated features,

:44:03. > :44:10.which breathed life into UK cinemas in 2016.

:44:11. > :44:14.Everybody does it, nothing to be ashamed of.

:44:15. > :44:17.In June, we got the long-delayed release of the anime gem

:44:18. > :44:20.When Marnie Was There, Studio Ghibli's Japanese

:44:21. > :44:21.adaptation of Joan G Robinson's Norfolk-set novel.

:44:22. > :44:30.That mansion feels familiar, somehow.

:44:31. > :44:40.It's really best for you to stay away from that old Marsh House.

:44:41. > :44:45.Then there was Zootropolis, or Zootopia as it's known in the US,

:44:46. > :44:47.which is currently shaping up as a strong contender

:44:48. > :44:49.for the forthcoming Animated Feature Oscar.

:44:50. > :45:01.We need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.

:45:02. > :45:04.Other contenders include Kubo and the Two Strings,

:45:05. > :45:06.a sublime stop-motion animation from Paranorman

:45:07. > :45:11.Yes, he's very powerful, but he still has much to learn.

:45:12. > :45:26.And Moana, Disney's current cinema offering from the directors

:45:27. > :45:38.The real treat for me, however, was Makoto Shinkai's Your Name,

:45:39. > :45:41.a thrilling body swap anime which topped the Japanese box office

:45:42. > :46:00.charts for three months before wowing audiences here in the UK.

:46:01. > :46:02.While films like Finding Dory and Zootropolis delighted audiences

:46:03. > :46:05.and critics alike, some of the year's other blockbusters

:46:06. > :46:11.Take, for example, Zack Snyder's much-hyped Batman vs

:46:12. > :46:14.Superman: Dawn of Justice, which proved a solid box office hit

:46:15. > :46:24.when it opened here in March, despite almost universally negative

:46:25. > :46:28.who were variously accused of being corrupt, idiotic

:46:29. > :46:35.Now in fact, what the financial success of Batman vs Superman proved

:46:36. > :46:40.is that reviews have zero effect on box office.

:46:41. > :46:42.Audiences don't go to see films because critics

:46:43. > :46:45.love them or hate them, they go because they

:46:46. > :46:49.Take note, Alex Proyas, director of this year's

:46:50. > :46:52.copper-bottomed stinker Gods of Egypt, who took to social media

:46:53. > :46:54.to call critics "a pack of diseased vultures,

:46:55. > :46:58.pecking at the bones of a dying carcass",

:46:59. > :47:01.without realising that in doing so, he was effectively calling

:47:02. > :47:09.While Batman vs Superman caught its fair share of critical

:47:10. > :47:13.flak, other superheroes did better with the critics.

:47:14. > :47:16.Take Ryan Reynolds's Deadpool, Marvel's wisecracking self reflexive

:47:17. > :47:19.antihero who took the box office by storm and earned pretty decent

:47:20. > :47:34.Captain America: Civil War performed well too,

:47:35. > :47:40.In the autumn, Dr Strange offered up a winning

:47:41. > :47:44.mix of superhero antics and Ken Russell-style hallucinogenics.

:47:45. > :48:07.On the evidence of these movies, we are not going to see an end

:48:08. > :48:09.to big budget blockbuster comic book film franchises any time

:48:10. > :48:13.But it was at the other end of the financial spectrum,

:48:14. > :48:17.and indeed often on the other side of the Atlantic, that the really

:48:18. > :48:23.Encouragingly, 2016 saw the release of a number of low-budget home-made

:48:24. > :48:29.features which really put their more expensive counterparts to shame.

:48:30. > :48:32.Take, for example, Notes On Blindness, an electrifying

:48:33. > :48:34.adaptation of the memoirs of theologian John Hull,

:48:35. > :48:36.who made cassette recordings documenting his loss of sight

:48:37. > :48:40.and subsequent journey from darkness into light.

:48:41. > :48:43.Getting actors to lip sync to these recordings in a manner

:48:44. > :48:46.similar to that used by Clio Barnard for The Arbor, film-makers

:48:47. > :48:48.Peter Middleton and James Spinney created something really unique,

:48:49. > :48:51.a film which is informative, empathetic and deeply spiritual -

:48:52. > :48:57.one of the very best films of the year.

:48:58. > :49:03.The pictures in the gallery of my mind have dimmed somewhat.

:49:04. > :49:09.I could no longer remember easily what my wife looked

:49:10. > :49:11.like, or what my daughter, Imogen, looked like.

:49:12. > :49:18.Who had the right to deprive me of the sight

:49:19. > :49:24.Notes On Blindness was one of several home-made indie pics

:49:25. > :49:30.Other admirable oddities included Stephen Fingleton's stripped down

:49:31. > :49:32.Northern Ireland thriller The Survivalist, Joe

:49:33. > :49:35.Stevenson's Chicken, superbly shot by rising star

:49:36. > :49:42.and Jane Gull's My Feral Heart, with a brilliant central performance

:49:43. > :49:53.My favourite film of 2016 was the spine-chilling British

:49:54. > :49:55.production Under The Shadow, from Iran-born London-based

:49:56. > :50:09.The UK's entry for the Foreign Language Film Oscar,

:50:10. > :50:22.Under The Shadow, was set in Tehran, shot in Jordan and filmed in Farsi.

:50:23. > :50:25.There are nods to Roman Polansky and the Guilermo del Toro

:50:26. > :50:31.but Anvari's superbly creepy chiller conjures an atmosphere,

:50:32. > :50:40.With very strong performances by Narges Rashidi and Avin Manshadi

:50:41. > :50:42.as the mother and daughter terrorised by falling bombs,

:50:43. > :50:49.religious zealots and marauding djinn spirits,

:50:50. > :50:52.Under The Shadow is a film you simply must not miss,

:50:53. > :51:10.believe me, it will take your breath away.

:51:11. > :51:14.Films like Under The Shadow and Notes On Blindness

:51:15. > :51:17.found their audiences, thanks in large part to the efforts

:51:18. > :51:19.of the UK's still thriving independent cinema circuit,

:51:20. > :51:25.If you're lucky enough to have a local arthouse cinema,

:51:26. > :51:27.then make sure you make the most of it.

:51:28. > :51:30.Multiplexes are fine, up to a point, but without the independents

:51:31. > :51:34.we will end up with an endless string of movies which all look

:51:35. > :51:38.The 13th Amendment to the Constitution makes it

:51:39. > :51:43.unconstitutional for someone to be held as a slave.

:51:44. > :51:47.There are exceptions, including criminals.

:51:48. > :51:51.The loophole was immediately exploited...

:51:52. > :51:55.Of course, in the age of the internet, viewing

:51:56. > :51:57.habits are changing, with more and more people choosing

:51:58. > :52:03.This, in itself, is not a problem unless the film's online presence

:52:04. > :52:06.prevents people from seeing it in cinemas and that was kind

:52:07. > :52:10.of the case with the brilliant documentary 13th, by Ava Du Vernay,

:52:11. > :52:13.which provocatively teased out connections between the history

:52:14. > :52:17.of slavery and modern-day imprisonment in the US.

:52:18. > :52:20.It's powerful polemical fare and, for me, one of the real

:52:21. > :52:23.highlights of the year but having been funded by Netflix,

:52:24. > :52:29.13th was only allowed to play in one cinema in the UK,

:52:30. > :52:32.this, despite the fact that several independent cinemas were hammering

:52:33. > :52:36.In an ideal world, streaming services and cinemas

:52:37. > :52:44.would work hand-in-hand, not in competition.

:52:45. > :52:49.It became virtually impossible for a politician to run

:52:50. > :52:53.The kinds of kids that are called super predators.

:52:54. > :53:01.Millions of dollars will be designated for jail facilities.

:53:02. > :53:06.As the autumn rolled around, fans of science fiction welcomed

:53:07. > :53:09.the arrival of Arrival, the beautiful first-contact movie

:53:10. > :53:10.from French-Canadian director Denis Villeneuve,

:53:11. > :53:12.who made the great thriller, Sicario.

:53:13. > :53:14.Based on a story by Ted Chiang, Arrival starred

:53:15. > :53:16.Amy Adams as a linguist, recruited to help communicate

:53:17. > :53:21.with aliens, whose nature and purpose is unknown.

:53:22. > :53:33.A film of ideas rather than special effects,

:53:34. > :53:35.Arrival played in UK cinemas around the same time

:53:36. > :53:37.as Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals, which also starred

:53:38. > :53:41.Amy Adams, in a very different role, this time as an LA art dealer,

:53:42. > :53:52.Other outstanding female performances in films released

:53:53. > :54:00.in the UK in 2016 include Isabelle Huppert's wonderful work

:54:01. > :54:03.in Mia Hansen-Love's Things To Come, a drama

:54:04. > :54:05.about an academic, whose life is unexpectedly changed when her

:54:06. > :54:10.Then there was Pedro Almodovar's Julieta,

:54:11. > :54:13.sensibly adapted from the writings of Canadian author Alison Munro,

:54:14. > :54:19.with awards worthy performances from Emma Suarez and Adriana Ugarte,

:54:20. > :54:24.the younger and older incarnations of the eponymous character.

:54:25. > :54:27.For me, this was Almodovar's best work since Volver.

:54:28. > :54:30.I was also bowled over by Meryl Streep as the so-called

:54:31. > :54:32.Diva of Din in Stephen Frear's affectionate and funny

:54:33. > :54:35.Florence Foster Jenkins, a celebration of the life of the first

:54:36. > :54:50.Plaudits too to Kate Beckinsale, who was an acerbic delight

:54:51. > :54:52.in Whit Stillman's Love Friendship, perhaps

:54:53. > :54:56.the most perfect screen rendering of Jane Austen's

:54:57. > :55:11.I would never speak to a stranger like that.

:55:12. > :55:14.And, let's not forget, Kate Dickie, deeply disturbing

:55:15. > :55:17.in the ultra-creepy new England folktale The Witch.

:55:18. > :55:39.When it comes to leading men few were better than David Oyelowo

:55:40. > :55:41.in A United Kingdom, which opened the London Film

:55:42. > :55:44.Directed by Amma Asante, a female British director

:55:45. > :55:55.A United Kingdom broke several glass ceilings as it retold the story

:55:56. > :55:58.of a love affair between British girl Ruth Williams, played

:55:59. > :56:00.by Rosamund Pike and African king-in-waiting Seretse Khama.

:02:37. > :02:41.double double. He described his noted as a dream come true, having

:02:42. > :02:46.come to Britain as an 18-year-old from Somalia, he could never have

:02:59. > :03:03.Katherine Grainger after five medals at five consecutive Olympics, the

:03:07. > :03:13.great, but what a great time together. It is the end of a 20 year

:03:14. > :03:19.career. It is a lovely way to bring the curtain down. There is a noted

:03:20. > :03:25.for one of the top parliamentarians, Lee Pearson, the dressage rider, who

:04:42. > :04:46.for their services to the community. One of those said it was a

:04:47. > :04:50.marvellous surprise. It has been astonishing really. It would sink in

:04:51. > :04:55.until April to the Palace and get the awards. It still doesn't feel

:04:56. > :04:58.real for me yet. I just want to get rid of the stigma and the fear

:04:59. > :05:03.attached to mental health. That is what I haven't been doing the work I

:05:04. > :05:04.have been doing and focusing on young people. We launched a mental

:05:05. > :05:07.health workshop in schools. There's a warning that heavy

:05:20. > :05:35.Heathrow airport this morning. I know you are keeping a close eye

:05:36. > :05:39.on conditions. What is the latest? We have the strange situation this

:05:40. > :05:43.morning where you can hear the planes coming and going, but it is

:05:44. > :05:47.difficult to make them out because the fog is quite dense and if you

:05:48. > :05:51.look at the departure boards it is a pretty grim picture. We have a lot

:05:52. > :05:57.of flights delayed for several hours. One for 16 hours. That is if

:05:58. > :06:02.I to Frankfurt. We have had flights cancelled. BA have cancelled more

:06:03. > :06:05.than 50 flights coming and going from the UK. That could affect

:06:06. > :06:11.around seven and a half thousand passengers. Yesterday some 30,000

:06:12. > :06:16.passengers had flights to and from the UK cancelled. We have a Yellow

:06:22. > :06:25.England, central England and the Midlands and also Yorkshire, meaning

:07:28. > :07:29.Angela Merkel has said that Islamist terrorism is the biggest challenge

:07:39. > :07:49.joins us from Berlin. We know that security has been

:07:50. > :07:56.stepped up there. What is the atmosphere like that? Everyone is

:07:57. > :08:01.preparing to party because the whole country is determined not to feel

:08:02. > :08:06.cowed by the recent terror attacks in Germany. That doesn't mean police

:08:07. > :08:10.are taking it lightly. There is unprecedented levels of security and

:08:11. > :08:15.surveillance around the Brandenburg gate here where the main party is

:08:16. > :08:18.expected. About 1 million people are expected to come to a two kilometre

:08:19. > :08:24.stretch around the Brandenburg gate. That would stretch is fenced off.

:08:25. > :08:28.There are concrete barriers up and, unusually for Germany, CCTV cameras.

:08:29. > :08:34.That is to prevent a repeat of the attack we saw before Christmas when

:08:35. > :08:40.a truck ran into a Christmas market, killing 12 people. Also in Cologne,

:08:41. > :08:45.we have got other levels of unprecedented security. That is to

:08:46. > :08:49.avoid a repeat of the incident last year and new receive 100s of women

:08:50. > :08:58.assaulted on the night of neuroses itself. That area will be lit up and

:08:59. > :09:03.there are hundreds of police officers just around the station and

:09:04. > :09:06.thousands in the city centre. Security officials are really taking

:09:07. > :09:10.it extremely seriously because the last thing they want is a repeat of

:09:11. > :09:14.what happened last New Year's Eve in Cologne. Thank you very much.

:09:15. > :09:17.Two bomb explosions at a busy market in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad,

:09:18. > :09:22.Dozens more were wounded in the blasts which happened at a market.

:10:06. > :10:26.Our main story is the new years Honours. The recent reintroduction

:10:27. > :10:31.of the British Empire medal has put service in the community at the

:10:32. > :10:35.heart of list. This year, the BDM has been ordered to more than 320

:10:36. > :10:50.people and two of those recipients are with us now. Good morning to you

:10:51. > :10:54.both. Big smiles today from you. I know when we talk to people who get

:10:55. > :10:55.their owners, they said we didn't do it for the honours, we were doing

:10:56. > :11:07.the work because we love what we do. Have you been able to talk to your

:11:08. > :11:11.family get about it? Since putting the message online last night the

:11:12. > :11:14.phone has been crazy. To the point where I have not been able to

:11:15. > :11:22.respond. The response has been amazing. It gives me a nice feeling.

:11:23. > :11:27.Tell us about the work that you do? In 2007 I began to do some community

:11:28. > :11:32.work because that was the year when the gun and knife crime rate was

:11:33. > :11:37.very high, so I started working with police and local councils to put on

:11:38. > :11:41.under dating events to put on projects to get young people working

:11:42. > :11:46.with the elderly, to give them an opportunity to do something and to

:11:47. > :11:52.be in a safe environment. One thing that I began to train to work with

:11:53. > :11:56.children to join the teaching field. I started working that their old

:11:57. > :12:02.primary school as a teaching assistant. I have been there for six

:12:03. > :12:08.years so I have been eating cold listings from home to try to get

:12:09. > :12:12.young people ready to join work. I have been acting CV workshops and a

:12:13. > :12:17.job application workshops from home on weekends, because I am strong in

:12:18. > :12:25.the sort of food. I have been wanting to help young people to

:12:26. > :12:29.prepare to become adults so that is what I have been doing. It has not

:12:30. > :12:34.been easy, but it is finding the time to do so. That has not been an

:12:35. > :12:42.issue for me because I just enjoy it and it is just about helping each

:12:43. > :12:48.other to grow. Such important work. Jackie, for you, really important as

:12:49. > :12:52.well. You have been helping veterans with addiction. Also

:12:53. > :12:58.congratulations. I work for a charity, the only charity of its

:12:59. > :13:03.kind in the UK, perpetrates addiction in veterans. What we know

:13:04. > :13:06.about veterans, their problematic trekking is much higher than the

:13:07. > :13:10.mention population, you'd think there would be as centres around the

:13:11. > :13:15.country, but we were founded three years ago and we have had incredible

:13:16. > :13:19.results. We are full at the moment. We have 12 beds in our centre and we

:13:20. > :13:25.are completely flew over Christmas and New Year. What we are doing is

:13:26. > :13:30.working and much needed. Influencing the Ministry of Defence because you

:13:31. > :13:37.have worked with them. I have got to hang out in Whitehall quite a bit

:13:38. > :13:41.and go to see the Minister. Just to make sure that they are taking us

:13:42. > :13:47.seriously because if you are wounded, injured or six, it is taken

:13:48. > :13:52.seriously but when it comes to addiction it is very much the last

:13:53. > :13:56.to be about how we can help people. What was the thing that made you

:13:57. > :14:00.want to do something? Often we say it would be easy not to and there

:14:01. > :14:08.are a lot of people who step out of the ordinary life and help. What was

:14:09. > :14:13.your inspiration? My inspiration was definitely my parents because I feel

:14:14. > :14:20.that are growing up I have had the support from my mum and dad and from

:14:21. > :14:23.people in local community that have supported me to be worked out and

:14:24. > :14:28.today and when I look at young people today, many are from single

:14:29. > :14:34.parents, some have only a mum or a dad, so I have looked at that and

:14:35. > :14:40.realised that there is not support out their four young people. Myself

:14:41. > :14:44.and other US workers in Manchester, being on the streets supporting

:14:45. > :14:49.young people, that has given them someone to come for advice and that

:14:50. > :14:55.has just given them someone to speak to. You had loads of people knocking

:14:56. > :15:04.on your door saying could you help with jobs and the things. As a part

:15:05. > :15:09.of the City Council, they made me an ambassador for where I live in the

:15:10. > :15:13.local area and as the role of an ambassador you are supposed to be

:15:14. > :15:17.the first point of call for your community, so if they need someone

:15:18. > :15:21.to speak to or if they want to report a letter issue they come and

:15:22. > :15:28.speak to you. I think some quite a bit mixed up with what the road was.

:15:29. > :15:33.People were knocking on the door and saying I am looking for a job. I am

:15:34. > :15:40.the type of person if I can help I can help. I was looking for jobs for

:15:41. > :15:45.people. It got so popular. 20 people would be at the doorstep on a

:15:46. > :15:51.Saturday and how can I make this manageable for myself so that is

:15:52. > :15:55.when I need a Facebook group called Manchester job opportunities and we

:15:56. > :16:01.have 17,000 members, over 200 are getting a full time job and I have

:16:02. > :16:07.linked with over 200 businesses. I don't know if in your line of work

:16:08. > :16:13.there is something corresponding. Where people try to get involved?

:16:14. > :16:16.Now, addiction isn't always the Cinderella charity that it was. I

:16:17. > :16:20.used to work for a charity with the Duchess of Cambridge was the patron,

:16:21. > :16:26.so she raised the profile of recovery and addiction for us and

:16:27. > :16:30.now, with the charity work for now being related to veterans, people

:16:31. > :16:34.are beginning to take it seriously and say there is a correlation

:16:35. > :16:38.between high levels of trekking and military service and so it is my job

:16:39. > :16:42.to keep getting out there and winning an award like this is

:16:43. > :16:48.leveraged to do this. For me, that is what the word does, it is below

:16:49. > :16:51.average to get this out. The key for taking time to talk to us this

:16:52. > :17:00.morning and thank you for doing what you are doing for your community.

:17:01. > :17:08.It is foggy out there, is it going to get any better? Good morning.

:17:09. > :17:13.Ford is not as widespread as dense as yesterday but it is causing an

:17:14. > :17:17.issue and some roads this morning, across parts of East Anglia and the

:17:18. > :17:22.South and causing delays at airports in the south-east of England and in

:17:23. > :17:27.parts of north-west Europe. Pretty misty around the channel islands but

:17:28. > :17:34.fog free here. They could suck. That's it is forced -- frost free.

:17:35. > :17:38.The fog will lift and shift. The breaks in the cold in north-east

:17:39. > :17:41.Wales and northern England, into eastern Scotland. Some brighter

:17:42. > :17:47.moments to the east of Northern Ireland. Largely dry here through

:17:48. > :17:51.the morning. The wettest area is the Highlands of Scotland. We have seen

:17:52. > :17:55.more than 100 millimetres of rain. There is a risk of minor flooding

:17:56. > :17:58.through the day. Strong and gusty winds but this afternoon the rain

:17:59. > :18:03.band will shift further south, introducing clearer conditions to

:18:04. > :18:06.the far north of Scotland. Most of us will be dry through the day.

:18:07. > :18:11.Temperatures around eight to 12 degrees. One or two spots will be

:18:12. > :18:15.cooler than that with the mist and fog linger. If you have plans of

:18:16. > :18:19.this evening, if you are heading outdoors, you might need an

:18:20. > :18:22.umbrella. Early on across Scotland and Northern Ireland would be a

:18:23. > :18:26.spell of brain working south but by the time the bells rain in 2017,

:18:27. > :18:35.much of Scotland and Northern Ireland would be cold and clear.

:18:36. > :18:38.Some winter showers in the North. A little bit of snow even. The rain

:18:39. > :18:41.pushes into northern England by the time we get to midnight and it will

:18:42. > :18:44.be a wet start to 2017. One or two spots of rain and drizzle. Much of

:18:45. > :18:47.England and Wales will be dry and quite a mild start to the New Year

:18:48. > :18:52.with temperatures staying around seven or 8 degrees. Scotland and

:18:53. > :18:58.Northern Ireland, the frost will set in away from the coast. Much cruder

:18:59. > :19:02.air to see in the new year. A good day for blowing the cobwebs away if

:19:03. > :19:07.tonight is a bit too much for you. The study did it with some rain and

:19:08. > :19:10.snow across northern England. Reading, sleep and still continues

:19:11. > :19:14.across parts of Wales, the Midlands, East Anglia and the South into the

:19:15. > :19:20.afternoon with some white snow over higher ground. We will get some snow

:19:21. > :19:24.in northern Scotland and in parts of the north-east of England on higher

:19:25. > :19:27.ground. Much in the North will be dry and sunny. More sunshine to come

:19:28. > :19:34.through Monday and Tuesday nights will be particularly chilly.

:19:35. > :19:37.Childhood memories of growing up with an alcoholic father have

:19:38. > :19:39.prompted the Shadow Health Secretary to call for greater

:19:40. > :19:42.recognition of the damage done by excessive drinking.

:19:43. > :19:43.Labour's Jonathan Ashworth chairs an all-party

:19:44. > :19:45.parliamentary group dedicated to the children of alcoholics.

:19:46. > :19:50.The group, which is publishing research in the New Year,

:19:51. > :19:55.says millions of young people are 'suffering in silence'.

:19:56. > :20:02.Jonathan Ashworth joins us now from our London newsroom.

:20:03. > :20:11.Good morning and thank you for joining us. We were just talking to

:20:12. > :20:14.Jackie who helps to run the Thomas Harrison foundation which helps

:20:15. > :20:18.veterans addicted to alcohol and you are looking into the issue of

:20:19. > :20:24.children whose parents are alcoholics. How much of a problem is

:20:25. > :20:28.it? A huge problem. It is my Parliamentary colleague, Liam Byrne,

:20:29. > :20:33.who runs the Parliamentary group on this, but I am Shadow Health

:20:34. > :20:37.Secretary. My job is to come on TV every day and complain about what

:20:38. > :20:42.the Conservatives are doing to the NHS, cutting funding and so on, but

:20:43. > :20:45.I grew up with a father who was an alcoholic. That coloured my

:20:46. > :20:50.childhood and one thing I wanted to do as the health spokesperson for

:20:51. > :20:55.Labour is make a difference for the millions, perhaps even 2 million,

:20:56. > :20:58.who grew up with a parent who is an alcoholic, because if you grew up

:20:59. > :21:04.with an alcoholic parent, it has a huge impact on you. It can lead to

:21:05. > :21:08.issues to do with mental health, to do with addiction as well. I want to

:21:09. > :21:12.make a difference on those issues and make a difference for the

:21:13. > :21:17.children. It could be up to 2 million children living with an

:21:18. > :21:20.alcoholic parent. They talk about the impact. What impact did it have

:21:21. > :21:26.on your life, having an alcoholic father? My parents were divorced and

:21:27. > :21:32.when I stayed with my father at weekends, grow up I was almost

:21:33. > :21:36.looking after him. I was about 11 or 12, my father drank so much that he

:21:37. > :21:41.locked himself in the bathroom and couldn't open the door. I had to

:21:42. > :21:45.bash at the door down as an 11-year-old. I would often go home

:21:46. > :21:49.or go to my dad at the weekend and there was nothing in the fridge

:21:50. > :21:55.except big bottles of white wine and I would have to go to the shop and

:21:56. > :22:00.get some food and and for me, I had to grow up very quickly. It also

:22:01. > :22:05.made me very determined. I love reading, so I threw myself into

:22:06. > :22:11.reading. It sounds like a cliche, but I did my best at school. When I

:22:12. > :22:18.was 15 I threw myself into the Labour Party and that is why I am

:22:19. > :22:23.here today. I know there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps

:22:24. > :22:28.millions of children, who deeply, deeply affected by grow up with an

:22:29. > :22:34.alcoholic parent. My dad was very loving. He was a lovely man. Alcohol

:22:35. > :22:36.took his life in the end, but he was a loving parent. There will be

:22:37. > :22:44.thousands of children who have an alcoholic parent who live in fear

:22:45. > :22:49.because that parent is violent, that parent is abusive. I never had that

:22:50. > :22:54.with my father, I just had somebody who was basically drunk whenever I

:22:55. > :22:58.was with them. We just saw some pictures of yourself with your dad.

:22:59. > :23:07.What would have made a difference to you? What should you have got? My

:23:08. > :23:12.dad and I saw lots of people will recognise this, he didn't recognise

:23:13. > :23:18.you had a problem. I tried to talk to him, he refused to engage. I

:23:19. > :23:22.don't think that is only support more generally. I wouldn't have

:23:23. > :23:27.known who to turn to. That is what I have talked about having a national

:23:28. > :23:33.phone line. There is a charity who run a full-blown. I am not sure

:23:34. > :23:37.where children would put it in schools or in the public service

:23:38. > :23:44.system, but there is a big road for the community nurses in Sherston

:23:45. > :23:47.censors -- centres. 1 million people go going to A because of alcohol

:23:48. > :23:53.related incidents. Those hospitals treat those people, but perhaps

:23:54. > :23:59.should we be asking whether there are children at home? We need a

:24:00. > :24:03.broader understanding of the issues of how alcohol is not just affects

:24:04. > :24:09.the individual, but affects the broader family. That is what we are

:24:10. > :24:11.calling for. We are calling for the government and public services to

:24:12. > :24:17.put in place a broader strategy to support all those children who grew

:24:18. > :24:20.up with an alcoholic parent. Thank you very much for your time.

:24:21. > :24:21.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:24:22. > :24:27.Time now for a look at the newspapers.

:24:28. > :24:29.Anne Longfield, the Children's Commissioner for England,

:24:30. > :24:31.is here to tell us what's caught her eye.

:24:32. > :24:46.So many things obviously affected children. Our guest in month ago who

:24:47. > :24:50.was awarded a new Year Honours talking about the young people he is

:24:51. > :24:55.helping and the problems they are facing. That was very moving, the

:24:56. > :24:58.peace there and I think what was being asked for most of was

:24:59. > :25:04.recognition that this was a problem for as parents and the fantastic

:25:05. > :25:12.work that was being done and reward it was just inspirational. It makes

:25:13. > :25:17.us all pause for thought. You have lived through The Papers. Where will

:25:18. > :25:22.we start? We will start on the unsung heroes with the honours.

:25:23. > :25:30.There is lots and lots of coverage across The Papers today around the

:25:31. > :25:33.honours, but there are sections in most of The Papers about people who

:25:34. > :25:40.are the celebrity names, they are not the people everyone knows. They

:25:41. > :25:47.have been doing important things for the community. We have a lady who

:25:48. > :25:52.has been selling poppies since 1952, we have the first Samaritan who has

:25:53. > :25:58.been doing that for 57 years. We have two young people who were 17,

:25:59. > :26:03.one who is looking and doing work around campaigning around street

:26:04. > :26:10.crime and won a round of bullying as well. Really important things. It is

:26:11. > :26:15.important to recognise and say as a society we want people to do more.

:26:16. > :26:20.We were just saying they are pivotal to communities. When you look at the

:26:21. > :26:23.other names here, the pensioner who is 70 and for 50 years she has been

:26:24. > :26:29.volunteering at Didcot Railway Centre. There are people who have

:26:30. > :26:34.given most of their lives to help other people. They don't did for the

:26:35. > :26:39.reward with the glamour, but it is what we all value in opportunities,

:26:40. > :26:47.people doing the things that are the glue around us. Other important

:26:48. > :26:54.people in society, head teachers. We have a piece in the Times today

:26:55. > :26:58.which talks of a shortage of head teachers. They are highlighting the

:26:59. > :27:09.fact that they say headteachers are leaving the profession, they point

:27:10. > :27:12.to salaries are too low and we are not rewarding head teachers enough,

:27:13. > :27:19.but there is increased pressure on headteachers. Government says that

:27:20. > :27:24.is a lower turnover of head teachers than ever. It highlights the fact

:27:25. > :27:30.how pivotal these jobs are. We want schools to be the place where

:27:31. > :27:33.children can find the chance to change their lives, especially those

:27:34. > :27:38.with complicated home backgrounds, but we need the special set of

:27:39. > :27:42.skills which is fantastic leaders, inspirational, brilliant organisers

:27:43. > :27:48.and the like. We want more people to come in and to these important jobs.

:27:49. > :27:54.We hear a lot about stress to teachers generally, you can't help

:27:55. > :27:58.but wonder if that has quite a big bearing? Certainly. I can be one of

:27:59. > :28:03.those who set lots of things needed to happen around schools because

:28:04. > :28:07.that is where all children go. If you want to know the people who know

:28:08. > :28:12.most about children's lives, it is the teachers in schools. Really, we

:28:13. > :28:16.need to recognise that and support them in their important role.

:28:17. > :28:27.Another story he picked out here, it is about the family courts. This is

:28:28. > :28:33.the president of the family division of the High courts who is pointing

:28:34. > :28:36.to fact that there is a situation in the family courts, not so in the

:28:37. > :28:41.criminal courts, but in family courts where it is possible for

:28:42. > :28:48.alleged abusers to still be able to cross examine their victims. It is

:28:49. > :28:54.one that women's aid have been highlighting the sub the Guardian

:28:55. > :28:59.have been highlighting and Sir James Mundy saying that needs to change. I

:29:00. > :29:06.get a lot of people telling me how stressful courts can be and,

:29:07. > :29:12.especially for children. There is a crossover here too many children as

:29:13. > :29:17.well who find terrible trauma when they have to go to court and are

:29:18. > :29:23.cross-examined. Being in court is a stressful situation that is led them

:29:24. > :29:26.there. Secondly, domestic violence has been an issue that has been

:29:27. > :29:34.raised throughout the year. The five-day high-profile archers trial,

:29:35. > :29:37.although fiction has touched a lot of people, it has brought home the

:29:38. > :29:43.seriousness of this to people. Important at the end of the year.

:29:44. > :29:48.Our time is up for now. You will be back in an hour. We will go for

:29:49. > :29:54.something slightly more cheerful. A list of reasons to be cheerful in

:29:55. > :29:59.2016, so we will look at those. We will see a little bit later on.

:30:00. > :30:03.Still to come and breakfast, your New Year's Eve party will be longer

:30:04. > :30:06.tonight by exactly one second. We will find out what with the help of

:30:07. > :30:41.the top astrophysicist. The headlines are coming up.

:30:42. > :30:45.Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Steph McGovern.

:30:46. > :30:51.Matt will have your full weather forecast.

:30:52. > :30:54.But first, a summary of this morning's main news.

:30:55. > :30:57.More than a hundred Olympic and Paralympic stars have been

:30:58. > :30:58.recognised in the New Year Honours list,

:30:59. > :31:04.with knighthoods for Andy Murray and Mo Farah.

:31:05. > :31:08.saw him win the Wimbledon title, an Olympic gold medal,

:31:09. > :31:11.and BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

:31:12. > :31:14.But the biggest honour of all was saved for last,

:31:15. > :31:16.although the 29-year-old said he felt he was

:31:17. > :31:25.Four-time Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah

:31:26. > :31:28.said that being awarded a knighthood was a "dream come true" for a boy

:31:29. > :31:30.who arrived in London from Somalia unable to speak any English.

:31:31. > :31:33.Jessica Ennis-Hill has been made a Dame for her services to athletics.

:31:34. > :31:39.she said that she was "truly, truly honoured".

:31:40. > :31:43.is Britain's most decorated female Olympian.

:31:44. > :31:45.She's won five medals at five successive games

:31:46. > :31:49.And gold-medal winning para-equestrian Lee Pearson

:31:50. > :31:59.He's been knighted for services to his sport.

:32:00. > :32:02.Stars of the stage and screen, including Ken Dodd

:32:03. > :32:03.and Patricia Routledge, have also been included

:32:04. > :32:06.They're among more than a thousand people

:32:07. > :32:11.as our entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba reports.

:32:12. > :32:16.He's been one of Britain's favourite entertainers

:32:17. > :32:22.Now Ken Dodd has received a knighthood.

:32:23. > :32:25.The best day ever, you can't get better than this.

:32:26. > :32:31.I've played lots of big theatres, I've worked abroad, but this is it.

:32:32. > :32:45.Actress Patricia Routledge, she's been made a Dame.

:32:46. > :32:50.# You got me so I don't know what I'm doing... #

:32:51. > :32:54.said he felt "humility and joy" to become Sir Ray.

:32:55. > :32:59.A knighthood too for award-winning actor Mark Rylance.

:33:00. > :33:01.Bond actress Naomi Harris becomes an OBE.

:33:02. > :33:07.Figures from fashion and design have also been recognised.

:33:08. > :33:13.said she was touched to be made a Dame.

:33:14. > :33:14.Designer Victoria Beckham becomes an OBE.

:33:15. > :33:18.was chaired by the former Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones.

:33:19. > :33:32.Obviously great pride, but mixed with sadness,

:33:33. > :33:35.because of that enduring sadness of the families who have continued

:33:36. > :33:38.to feel the loss of their loved ones.

:33:39. > :33:40.He is one of hundreds being recognised

:33:41. > :33:42.for their contribution across the UK.

:33:43. > :33:49.There's a warning that heavy fog could cause further

:33:50. > :33:53.Yesterday the UK's biggest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick,

:33:54. > :33:58.The Met Office says driving conditions will be difficult

:33:59. > :34:02.in many areas of central, eastern and south-east England.

:34:03. > :34:03.Simon Calder, travel editor of the Independent,

:34:04. > :34:16.Morning to you, Simon, quite a few problems there today, how was it

:34:17. > :34:20.looking at the moment? It is looking better than it was earlier, you can

:34:21. > :34:24.actually see the runway behind me. Earlier on this morning, it was

:34:25. > :34:28.really eerie, you could hear the aircraft but you could not see them.

:34:29. > :34:31.What happens when there is fog, of course there was lots of high

:34:32. > :34:36.technology that allows aircraft to land and take off without much

:34:37. > :34:42.visibility, but the air traffic controllers have to slow the

:34:43. > :34:46.arrivals. Heathrow is Europe's busiest airport, and that means

:34:47. > :34:51.things start to unravel ready quickly. Yesterday, as you say,

:34:52. > :34:55.about 150 flights were cancelled, about 30,000 people are waking up

:34:56. > :34:59.this morning not where they wanted to be. Today so far British Airways

:35:00. > :35:05.has cancelled another 50 flights, mostly from Heathrow to places such

:35:06. > :35:09.as Barcelona, Munich and Milan, from London city to Amsterdam, Geneva and

:35:10. > :35:14.Dublin. Not too much chaos in the terminals, because most people have

:35:15. > :35:17.been told about it, but lots of unhappy people who have spent the

:35:18. > :35:22.night at a hotel in this area rather than where they wanted to be. It is

:35:23. > :35:25.an awkward time of year, often people want to be with family or are

:35:26. > :35:31.trying to get back after their breaks. Almagro, most certainly, and

:35:32. > :35:37.once your flight has been cancelled, you go straight to the back of the

:35:38. > :35:40.queue, you are not put on the next flight. All the people going on

:35:41. > :35:45.flights and they take precedence, and very few seats at this time of

:35:46. > :35:49.year are going spare. About Stansted, where Ryanair cancelled

:35:50. > :35:53.about 20 flights yesterday, that is 3000 people out of position with

:35:54. > :35:57.very few options to get to where they need to be by midnight and

:35:58. > :36:01.night. Simon, thanks very much, Simon Calder from the Independent.

:36:02. > :36:04.Around 3,000 police officers will be on duty across central London

:36:05. > :36:06.tonight as crowds gather to celebrate the new year.

:36:07. > :36:07.Greater Manchester Police and other forces

:36:08. > :36:09.say they've also stepped up crowd protection measures.

:36:10. > :36:12.Scotland Yard says extra resources have been brought in

:36:13. > :36:14.to keep people safe following the terror attacks

:36:15. > :36:19.in Berlin and Nice earlier this year.

:36:20. > :36:22.Two bomb explosions at a busy market in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad,

:36:23. > :36:25.Dozens more were wounded in the blasts

:36:26. > :36:33.and no-one has admitted carrying out the attacks.

:36:34. > :36:35.Donald Trump has praised Russia's President Putin

:36:36. > :36:37.for his decision not to engage in a row

:36:38. > :36:41.In a tweet, the US President-elect said

:36:42. > :36:46.he always knew the Russian leader was "very smart".

:36:47. > :36:48.President Obama has ordered 35 Russian diplomats

:36:49. > :36:50.to leave the country after accusing Moscow

:36:51. > :36:55.of interfering in November's presidential election.

:36:56. > :37:00.anyone who owns an air gun in Scotland will need a licence.

:37:01. > :37:03.The legislation was introduced after a toddler

:37:04. > :37:06.was killed by an air-gun pellet in Glasgow in 2005.

:37:07. > :37:08.People in England and Wales can own the weapons

:37:09. > :37:17.It's the time of year for charts and lists and best-ofs,

:37:18. > :37:20.so we thought we'd take this opportunity to share our most

:37:21. > :37:22.popular clip from the BBC Breakfast social-media accounts

:37:23. > :37:30.Is it a hard-hitting piece of journalism or a stunning expose?

:37:31. > :37:35.It's this footage of giant panda Da Mao

:37:36. > :37:39.battling a snowman at Toronto Zoo.

:37:40. > :37:41.Thousands of you liked and shared these pictures

:37:42. > :37:48.when they went online a couple of weeks ago.

:37:49. > :37:54.He does manage to demolish the whole thing in the end! We can stay with

:37:55. > :38:02.it for a moment if it is the most popular thing that has been on

:38:03. > :38:07.Breakfast! You can see why! Come on, he is going to get back on again.

:38:08. > :38:12.You cannot get enough panda as far as I am concerned.

:38:13. > :38:15.It is agony watching! Is eager to roll over again?

:38:16. > :38:19.How would you describe that technique? Is that a high jump

:38:20. > :38:23.technique? Don't bring me in as the panda

:38:24. > :38:27.expert! That was a forward roll.

:38:28. > :38:31.Just thinking about how the moralising it is, all the hard work

:38:32. > :38:34.from the producers and editors for a whole year, and all the viewers want

:38:35. > :38:36.to watch is a funny video of a panda. Give them what they want,

:38:37. > :38:43.that is what I say! We are having a chat around the New

:39:47. > :39:49.They couldn't hang on for victory, though.

:39:50. > :39:51.Ross Barkley nodded in the Everton equaliser late on.

:39:52. > :40:01.I'm really pleased, because over the past three or four weeks,

:40:02. > :40:05.Today we put in a shift and got a point.

:40:06. > :40:09.We could be greedy and ask for more, but I'm really proud of the players

:40:10. > :40:15.for their efforts and we have to go again in two, three days' time.

:40:16. > :40:25.I am really pleased tonight about our performance. I wasn't happy

:40:26. > :40:30.about our slow start, 1-0 down, but we showed twice, really, in the

:40:31. > :40:33.result a really good attitude and a good reaction. And I think we played

:40:34. > :40:40.good football. There was one game in

:40:41. > :40:42.the Scottish Premiership last night The goal came from Jonny Hayes

:40:43. > :40:46.in the 66th minute. The third placed Dons are now

:40:47. > :40:49.six points ahead of Hearts, Dan is presenting Football Focus

:40:50. > :41:00.this lunchtime, and he is here now. Welcome back. Happy Christmas? I

:41:01. > :41:06.managed to do that thing when you stop work for a bit, I got a cold

:41:07. > :41:14.immediately, I am throwing it off. What have you got today? I know

:41:15. > :41:24.there is a busy... Oh! I was waiting for you there! That was fascinating

:41:25. > :41:28.to watch! That has thrown me! Great panda news! We have a big fixture

:41:29. > :41:30.list in the Premier League particularly, and we have available

:41:31. > :41:35.interview with two Brazilian twins who you might remember, they both

:41:36. > :41:39.used to play at Manchester United, Fabio is now at Middlesbrough, and

:41:40. > :41:42.they played Manchester United this weekend, so we got them both

:41:43. > :41:47.together for Christmas, they clearly enjoy each other's company, and we

:41:48. > :41:53.ask them, what will it be like to go back and play Manchester United?

:41:54. > :41:58.Have a listen. I don't think I had what it is going to be, 1000 things,

:41:59. > :42:05.like are they going to react? I think it is going to be nice. It is

:42:06. > :42:09.incredible, because I can watch the game, the first game he comes back,

:42:10. > :42:14.and I will be there to watch, it will be very nice. You have to

:42:15. > :42:20.decide who you are going to support! Well, I love Manchester United!

:42:21. > :42:25.But... I will support my brother, I want him to win. So I think I will

:42:26. > :42:30.be supporting Middlesbrough! There you go, that is what you

:42:31. > :42:35.wanted to hear! I will be at that match later, pleased to hear that!

:42:36. > :42:39.Dele Alli, the second part of his interview, back in the goals again,

:42:40. > :42:43.Spurs looking good. John Motson is at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea

:42:44. > :42:47.look unstoppable this season. A lovely piece with Kenny Dalglish as

:42:48. > :42:50.Liverpool play Manchester City, looking at Klopp's rain, what he

:42:51. > :42:55.thinks about him. A nice piece on Barnsley over Christmas, we will be

:42:56. > :42:59.looking back at the year, as everyone does at this time, and all

:43:00. > :43:03.the goals from this week, and we will wedge it all in from midday on

:43:04. > :43:10.BBC One. Lie excellent, we will be watching that. Dan thank you very

:43:11. > :43:12.much. To rugby union, and George North

:43:13. > :43:15.will return for Northampton Saints in their Premiership match

:43:16. > :43:17.at Gloucester tomorrow. It will be the Welshman's first game

:43:18. > :43:20.since suffering a head injury That was North's fifth

:43:21. > :43:23.concussion in two years, including two in the match

:43:24. > :43:25.on your screen now between England and Wales

:43:26. > :43:28.in February 2015. A review board said North

:43:29. > :43:30.shouldn't have continued to play against Leicester, but they

:43:31. > :43:34.didn't sanction Northampton. Wasps are top of rugby union's

:43:35. > :43:36.Premiership after a topsy-turvy bonus-point

:43:37. > :43:39.victory over Newcastle. Wasps found themselves

:43:40. > :43:42.12-0 down after five minutes, but Danny Cipriani's superb

:43:43. > :43:45.individual effort was the first of their four tries

:43:46. > :43:48.in a 34-30 victory. Second-place Saracens

:43:49. > :43:51.play on Sunday. Andy Murray has been knighted

:43:52. > :43:56.in the New Year's Honours list. He'll play in the third-place

:43:57. > :44:01.playoff within the next hour, after a surprise defeat yesterday

:44:02. > :44:04.to David Goffin in the semifinals of the World Tennis Championship

:44:05. > :44:06.in Abu Dhabi. The world number one had won

:44:07. > :44:09.all five of his previous meetings with Goffin but lost the first set

:44:10. > :44:12.on a tie break. but Goffin fought back to win

:44:13. > :44:20.the set and take the match 2-0. Goffin will play Rafael Nadal

:44:21. > :44:22.in the final after he beat Milos Raonic

:44:23. > :44:25.in three sets. Nadal's making his comeback

:44:26. > :44:27.from a wrist injury which has troubled him

:44:28. > :44:34.throughout the year. Good to see the veil Nadal back on

:44:35. > :44:48.top form. -- Rafael Nadal. Mike Bushell will be making a

:44:49. > :44:51.comeback in the New Year. In his absence, we have put together a

:44:52. > :44:56.compilation of all the things he has been up to.

:44:57. > :45:08.Walked under water, pommel-horsed with Max Whitlock

:45:09. > :45:10.and played in goal for Team GB's Olympic-winning hockey squad.

:45:11. > :45:13.They're just some of the highlights of Mike Bushell's year.

:45:14. > :45:14.Every week, BBC Breakfast's own action man

:45:15. > :45:16.gets stuck into a different sporting challenge

:45:17. > :45:19.to encourage you to get off the sofa and try something new.

:45:20. > :45:39.What the hell is that? It's Mike Bushell.

:45:40. > :46:23.You've still got it as well, haven't you?

:46:24. > :46:31.Pretty slow, mate! It's great to see the kids play.

:46:32. > :46:33.It's always thought about, we've trained for it,

:46:34. > :46:34.we've live it, we've breathed it.

:46:35. > :46:50.We will all do all we can do for our cause!

:46:51. > :48:07.I've brought some protection. Come on, then, come on!

:48:08. > :48:14.I bet that still hurt! He survived it all, though, he will

:48:15. > :48:17.be back for more in 2017. He must have done absolutely

:48:18. > :48:22.everything by now! Time to find out what is happening with the weather

:48:23. > :48:29.with Matt, that looks for the air than the last picture you

:48:30. > :48:38.Rabiot when a! This was taken in south-east Wales,

:48:39. > :48:44.fog not as widespread as yesterday but still causing problems on the

:48:45. > :48:47.roads, and if you are on the Move over the next few hours, take it

:48:48. > :48:57.gingerly across southern England and East Anglia in particular. Fairly

:48:58. > :49:02.cloudy across Wales, away from the fog, the north-east will see the

:49:03. > :49:05.best of the sunshine. The cloud in Northern Ireland will break about

:49:06. > :49:16.times to the east, at least for a while. We have had over 100

:49:17. > :49:19.millimetres in the last 24 hours in the North of Scotland, gradually

:49:20. > :49:22.edging away from the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland. It will push to

:49:23. > :49:25.the north of Northern Ireland by the end of the afternoon and into

:49:26. > :49:32.southern Scotland. Away from that, a dry New Year's Eve, where you get

:49:33. > :49:37.sunshine, 12 Celsius is possible. Where the fog lingers, five or six

:49:38. > :49:40.at the very best. Some of you may be spending your evening outdoors,

:49:41. > :49:44.building up to the big midnight hour. If you are in Scotland, take

:49:45. > :49:50.some waterproofs, rain in the early evening does clear by the time the

:49:51. > :49:54.bells ring in 2017, only one or two showers, mostly dry, fairly clear

:49:55. > :49:58.but cold. The rain edges into northern England by the time we had

:49:59. > :50:07.midnight, and it will also push into the north-west of Wales too. Much of

:50:08. > :50:12.central and southern England and Wales will be dry as we see in 2017.

:50:13. > :50:14.Fairly mild too, but the temperatures at midnight dropping

:50:15. > :50:19.away quite rapidly in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Colder air set to

:50:20. > :50:22.work southwards, a slow process during New Year's Day, colder but

:50:23. > :50:28.brighter conditions in the northern half of the country. A slight

:50:29. > :50:31.covering of showers to lower levels in northern Scotland. Rain initially

:50:32. > :50:35.in northern England with some sleet over the hills, a bit of a damp

:50:36. > :50:39.start to the New Year in much of Wales, the Midlands and southern

:50:40. > :50:43.England. Some heavy outbreaks of rain, wet snow over high ground

:50:44. > :50:47.mixed in for good measure. Temperatures in double figures here,

:50:48. > :50:51.colder further north. That takes over for the first few days of 2017,

:50:52. > :50:59.sunshine by day but chilly by night. Just before I go, it is less than

:51:00. > :51:03.four hours away from 2017 in Sydney, this is the scene from the famous

:51:04. > :51:04.bridge just a short while ago, currently 24 degrees with a

:51:05. > :51:08.south-east wind. Security's being stepped up ahead

:51:09. > :51:15.of tonight's New Year's Eve celebrations in London,

:51:16. > :51:17.following the terror attacks The Police Federation says that

:51:18. > :51:20.while there's no specific intelligence about an attack

:51:21. > :51:22.in the capital, more officers will be on duty

:51:23. > :51:26.than in previous years, Greater Manchester Police

:51:27. > :51:29.and other forces say they're also putting on extra

:51:30. > :51:32.crowd protection measures. Peter Bleksley is a former Scotland

:51:33. > :51:42.Yard detective and joins us now. A very good morning to you, the

:51:43. > :51:48.message here is about reassurance, isn't it? It is, reassurance and

:51:49. > :51:53.vigilance, although of course be policing that members of the will

:51:54. > :51:57.see tonight, the overt side of policing, some of the cops with

:51:58. > :52:02.firearms, the other security measures, is only the tip of a very

:52:03. > :52:07.unseen iceberg. There are so much other work going on by the security

:52:08. > :52:11.services and the police behind-the-scenes, completely unseen

:52:12. > :52:16.and often heroic, but night we see the overt, the open side of it. So

:52:17. > :52:20.there will be more officers with guns, what else will people notice?

:52:21. > :52:26.Well, there will be roadblocks set up, because of Berlin and Nice, both

:52:27. > :52:31.of those attackers used heavy articulated vehicles, so there will

:52:32. > :52:35.be roadblocks set up. Anybody driving around tonight near a city

:52:36. > :52:39.centre in a truck or lorry will invariably questioned before they

:52:40. > :52:42.are allowed to go on their way. So there will be roadblocks, there will

:52:43. > :52:48.be a lot of security staff supporting police, and they will be

:52:49. > :52:51.doing the jobs which not the police's role, checking armbands and

:52:52. > :52:56.tickets, more of the stewarding of people while police will be doing

:52:57. > :53:00.more of the protecting our people. Yes, in a way, what we are seeing is

:53:01. > :53:04.more of some of what we have seen in the past. We are used to it now in

:53:05. > :53:07.airports, people in London will remember the ring of steel in the

:53:08. > :53:13.City of London. Various parts of the security measures are being seen

:53:14. > :53:18.more often and more frequently. Yeah, absolutely, and part of that

:53:19. > :53:21.is to serve as a deterrent, to put people off doing what they might be

:53:22. > :53:26.thinking of plotting and planning to do, and that is only right, and we

:53:27. > :53:30.will see more of it, unfortunately, this very clear and present threat

:53:31. > :53:36.and danger that exists to us all is not going to go away any time soon -

:53:37. > :53:39.if in fact ever. We will, as unpalatable as it may seem to some

:53:40. > :53:44.people to seek heavily armed cops patrolling the streets, we have got

:53:45. > :53:49.to get used to it. They are there plans for our benefit. For people

:53:50. > :53:54.celebrating New Year's Eve, they don't need to behave differently, do

:53:55. > :53:58.they? No, but there is a slight responsibility upon all of us to

:53:59. > :54:01.remain vigilant in our everyday lives, you know, we are part of the

:54:02. > :54:05.collective effort here to try to stop these people, so if you see

:54:06. > :54:10.something that you are not quite happy about, that raises suspicions,

:54:11. > :54:15.then pick up the phone, ring the cops, ring the anti-terror hotline.

:54:16. > :54:17.But yes, tonight is largely about going out and enjoying ourselves,

:54:18. > :54:25.and I would urge people to do exactly that. Do not be cowed, to

:54:26. > :54:29.not be terrorised, drink, dance, party, whatever you like, but stay a

:54:30. > :54:37.little bit vigilant. Peter, thank you for your time this morning.

:54:38. > :54:40.On the subject of time, it has thrown up a bit of an anomaly this

:54:41. > :54:41.New Year's Eve. If you were watching yesterday,

:54:42. > :54:44.you may remember we brought you news of the leap second -

:54:45. > :54:47.an extra moment of time which will be added

:54:48. > :54:49.to the final minute of 2016. It's fair to say we found

:54:50. > :54:52.the entire concept pretty baffling, so this morning we've brought in

:54:53. > :54:55.an expert to set us straight. We'll chat to Professor Tim O'Brien

:54:56. > :54:57.in a moment, but first here's our science

:54:58. > :55:03.correspondent Rebecca Morelle. you have a tiny bit longer

:55:04. > :55:10.to enjoy the celebrations. An extra second is being added

:55:11. > :55:18.to the world's time. And it's all because of

:55:19. > :55:20.a very slight wobble Our planet speeds up

:55:21. > :55:23.and slows down as it spins. So while a single rotation equates

:55:24. > :55:26.to one day, some days end up being a tiny fraction longer

:55:27. > :55:29.or shorter than others. And gradually the earth's time

:55:30. > :55:33.drifts out of sync with our clocks. Right now, that difference

:55:34. > :55:36.has grown too large, so just before the clocks

:55:37. > :55:38.strike midnight, an extra second is being added

:55:39. > :55:44.to bring everything back into phase. It's the 27th leap second since

:55:45. > :55:47.they were introduced in the 1970s, but there have been calls

:55:48. > :55:50.to abolish them. Communications networks, financial

:55:51. > :55:54.markets and computer software all rely on extremely precise

:55:55. > :55:58.timekeeping. Some say that having to reprogram

:55:59. > :56:03.an extra second puts them at risk. Others warn that without leap

:56:04. > :56:05.seconds, over thousands of years, the earth's time and our clocks

:56:06. > :56:08.will grow more and more off-kilter - so much so that one day your watch

:56:09. > :56:36.might say it's midnight So what we need now is a professor,

:56:37. > :56:40.and we have got, talk us through, when is the leap second? Well,

:56:41. > :56:44.officially it will be the end of today, this day would last one

:56:45. > :56:48.second longer, but it sort of depends how people are adjusting for

:56:49. > :56:52.it. Some people are taking the time to slow the clock down, Big Ben is

:56:53. > :56:58.slowed down by adding or removing an old penny as a weight from the

:56:59. > :57:02.pendulum. That slows down over a period of a day or a few days, to

:57:03. > :57:07.get it to the right time. But officially the end of the day. It is

:57:08. > :57:12.only a second, why does it matter so much? People have been debating

:57:13. > :57:17.whether we should keep doing this or not, but the reason is because it is

:57:18. > :57:20.to keep our clock time, which is determined by very accurate atomic

:57:21. > :57:25.clocks, in step with astronomical time, which is determined by how the

:57:26. > :57:29.earth spins. If we didn't include them, gradually we would get out of

:57:30. > :57:33.step, and in quite a long time admittedly, something like 4000

:57:34. > :57:38.years, we would end up with 12 noon on your watch happening at midnight,

:57:39. > :57:44.rather than at midday, because you would be out of step with where the

:57:45. > :57:49.sun is in the sky. Whose decision is it? There is an international body

:57:50. > :57:51.based in Paris that keeps an eye on this, the bravery regular atomic

:57:52. > :57:58.clock time that stays steady, but the spin of the earth is constantly

:57:59. > :58:01.changing due to weather, the motion of stuff inside the earth,

:58:02. > :58:05.earthquakes, and it is gradually slowing down because of the tides.

:58:06. > :58:10.They keep an eye on these things all the time, they will make an

:58:11. > :58:14.announcement that we need to add a leap second. And everyone agrees

:58:15. > :58:22.that we all stick to this? Yes, we all stick to the rules. They

:58:23. > :58:25.sometimes call these people be Time Lord yeah! Obviously it is over a

:58:26. > :58:30.long period of time that it would make a difference, but there have

:58:31. > :58:40.been 27 changes since the 1970s, so our year is 27 seconds longer than

:58:41. > :58:44.it was then? Yeah, well, each day is basically two Millie seconds longer

:58:45. > :58:54.than 24 hours, and so as you go, the next day, you will be two out, then

:58:55. > :58:58.four, so it is the out of step that changes, rather than the length of

:58:59. > :59:03.the day changing. When will be an extra day? I could really do

:59:04. > :59:09.without! It would be quite a while? Yes, quite a while! On the issue of

:59:10. > :59:12.time, thank you, we will have the headlines at exactly nine o'clock.

:59:13. > :00:00.That is coming. Hello this is Breakfast, with

:03:27. > :03:31.for me in competing for my country, and it's a lovely way

:06:11. > :06:18.There is still fog, but it looks clearer. How is it going? Still a

:06:19. > :06:24.lot more delays? It is a bit better than it was this morning regarding

:06:25. > :06:29.the fog. You can just about make out the fog -- the planes coming and

:06:30. > :06:33.going. Easier to hear them than see them. There are long delays on many

:06:34. > :06:37.flights from Heathrow and Gatwick and other airports in southern

:06:38. > :06:42.England. Some flights have been cancelled. BA this morning have

:06:43. > :06:47.cancelled around 50 flights, largely to and from Heathrow. Seven and have

:06:48. > :06:52.thousand passengers are going to be affected by that. It is because

:06:53. > :06:56.there is a Yellow weather warning in place for this fraud. That is in

:06:57. > :07:02.place for southern England, parts of Central England, the Midlands and

:07:03. > :07:06.also the Humber. We also have problems on the roads. Advice is to

:07:07. > :07:10.take care because in some parts driving conditions could be reduced

:07:11. > :07:16.to around 100 metres. Best to check before you head out on your journey

:07:17. > :07:17.today. We will keep up-to-date on the weather.

:07:18. > :07:20.Around 3,000 police officers will be on duty across central London

:07:21. > :07:22.tonight as crowds gather to celebrate the New Year.

:07:41. > :07:43.and many others, to make sure people coming to central London

:07:44. > :07:45.on New Years Eve have a fantastic time.

:07:46. > :07:49.And when they come to give us extra time because there will be a search

:07:50. > :07:54.There's something like 3,000 police officers on duty in central London

:07:55. > :08:01.Meanwhile, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that Islamist

:08:04. > :08:05.In her New Year message, Mrs Merkel referred to the deadly

:08:06. > :08:08.truck attack in Berlin earlier this month by a Tunisian asylum seeker.

:08:09. > :08:15.Damian McGuiness joins us from Berlin.

:08:16. > :08:23.Tell us a little more about what she said. She referred to the three

:08:24. > :08:26.attacks we have seen this year, saying that what was particularly

:08:27. > :08:30.propulsive for her was they were committed by people who were

:08:31. > :08:35.pretending to be refugees. What is interesting is that she stood by her

:08:36. > :08:39.migration policy because she said it was right and proper that Germany

:08:40. > :08:43.had helped people who legitimately needed help, people fleeing from

:08:44. > :08:48.Syria because she said when you look at pictures of the bombings in

:08:49. > :08:54.Aleppo, it is impossible not to want to help. She stood by the fact that

:08:55. > :08:58.Germany would take in legitimate refugees. That is a wider debate

:08:59. > :09:02.here because the attack we saw in Berlin just before Christmas was

:09:03. > :09:07.carried out by a failed asylum seeker, someone who should have been

:09:08. > :09:11.deported and wasn't and that is the debate in Germany, about what to do

:09:12. > :09:16.with those people whose application for asylum has been rejected and

:09:17. > :09:20.told to get them out of Germany for the sake of the security of the

:09:21. > :09:22.country because we are seeing unprecedented levels of security in

:09:23. > :09:28.the run-up to the celebrations. Donald Trump has praised

:09:29. > :09:30.Russia's President Putin for his decision not to engage

:09:31. > :09:32.in a row about the In a tweet, the US president-elect

:09:43. > :09:50.no procedures in place to prosecute people who misuse

:09:51. > :09:52.disabled parking permits. New analysis of official figures

:09:53. > :09:55.found that in 61 local authorities blue badges could be used

:09:56. > :09:57.fraudulently without The finding has been

:09:58. > :10:18.described as 'staggering' They host of other big stars have

:10:19. > :10:23.been recognised in the New Year 's Honours list, including the whole GB

:10:24. > :10:27.women pass by pocketing. It has been an outstanding year for them. They

:10:28. > :10:33.became the first squad to win gold. We will have one of those

:10:34. > :10:38.medallists, no NBA. First, let's have a look at some of the

:10:39. > :11:14.highlights from Rio. Holly Webber on her way to win gold. She scorers.

:11:15. > :11:23.Well, how does it feel hearing that last remark it is mad. Winning the

:11:24. > :11:29.gold was insane and one of the best moments of my life so far, to have

:11:30. > :11:33.an MBA is just making it sink in that I only gold medallist. Very

:11:34. > :11:38.excited and very proud. Have you had a chance to share the news with

:11:39. > :11:45.friends and family? It was my mum who said you need to check your

:11:46. > :11:49.e-mails. I said, why? She said you just need to check your e-mails. She

:11:50. > :11:54.knew before I did and she was really proud, as is my dad. To be honest,

:11:55. > :12:00.it is more for them, the amount they have done for me and the time and

:12:01. > :12:04.effort, they got me here. Huge thank you to them. My granny was the next

:12:05. > :12:14.person, but I had to keep it confidential. How did she react? She

:12:15. > :12:18.is 96 in March and she is a tough cookie, one of the first people are

:12:19. > :12:24.killed. What about the rest of the team? This is history Maginn, the

:12:25. > :12:32.fact that a team is one, you have altered the MBE. There were 16

:12:33. > :12:36.others representing Team GB there. Without us being a group of 31 we

:12:37. > :12:41.would never have achieved what we did. As well as the background

:12:42. > :12:45.stuff. I uncovered some of them have not been recognised. I will write a

:12:46. > :12:50.letter to get in on the next year 's Honours list. It is full credit to

:12:51. > :12:55.everyone we have and the fact only 16 have been honoured, that is a

:12:56. > :13:02.credit to wider team. When we watched that as outsiders, this is a

:13:03. > :13:08.really special moment. How would your own actions? Is it still looked

:13:09. > :13:12.like something that didn't happen? I am getting goose bumps watching it.

:13:13. > :13:17.It never gets old. You can see from our faces that we go into shock.

:13:18. > :13:25.Pure elation and joy. It is incredible. The MBE has made it sink

:13:26. > :13:30.in that much more. As well as all that, you also went into the jungle.

:13:31. > :13:41.He did really well in that. Did you enjoy it? I loved it. It was tough.

:13:42. > :13:44.I learned things about myself. I love the jungle and there was

:13:45. > :13:47.pressure only to go there and be able model and act like an athlete

:13:48. > :13:53.but it wasn't too bothered because I have been doing for 16 years and to

:13:54. > :13:56.experience it, keep oche on the map and export crude and make sure we

:13:57. > :14:02.are inspiring the youngsters youngsters then every little helps.

:14:03. > :14:05.A lot of sports stars sit one of the things about New Year 's Honours is

:14:06. > :14:09.it is it as an opportunity to say to someone somewhere who might be

:14:10. > :14:16.watching the snow, you could be doing what I have just done. Maybe

:14:17. > :14:20.it can happen. Absolutely. It is very easy for youngsters to say I

:14:21. > :14:23.want to be the gold medallist. That is brilliant and love the fact

:14:24. > :14:28.youngsters aspire to do that because it can be used. You just have to

:14:29. > :14:31.make sure you never give up. It is important that is hockey girls reach

:14:32. > :14:36.out to the grocery might look at that and say that is intimidating, I

:14:37. > :14:39.don't think I could do that. It is important to get them involved, the

:14:40. > :14:46.nature of the healthy and enjoy the social side and to recognise that

:14:47. > :14:50.sport is crude and get out, get the local hockey club, football,

:14:51. > :14:55.whatever sport. If we inspire one youngster, let alone a thousand, we

:14:56. > :15:00.have done our job. You talk about being a role model, we see the

:15:01. > :15:04.glamorous side, the winning, there is a lot of hard work as well. How

:15:05. > :15:10.long have you been training for? It must feel like for ever. I got my

:15:11. > :15:15.first senior international cap in 2007, that was the start of my

:15:16. > :15:19.career. That was it. People see the Champagne moments, what they don't

:15:24. > :15:28.get selected for you wake up at six aim to be on the page 47. There are

:15:29. > :15:34.tough times when you think, what am I doing this? You look ahead and you

:15:35. > :15:42.think, that is my dream and I want to achieve that. Now, you are going

:15:43. > :15:50.to have an MBA, that is in metal, do you have a place for them? They are

:15:51. > :15:57.in my bedside drawer at the moment. There is a cabinet being built next

:15:58. > :16:01.to my montage that my boyfriend got me, a big montage of the press

:16:02. > :16:08.cuttings from the Olympic finals. What they could present.

:16:09. > :16:13.Congratulations. Face to see. It is coming up to 70 minutes past nine.

:16:14. > :16:16.Now, the main stories this morning. Andy Murray and O'Farrell have been

:16:17. > :16:22.recognised with natives while Jessica Ennis and becomes a game in

:16:23. > :16:24.the New Year 's Honours list. Thousands of travellers face

:16:25. > :16:34.disruption as fog in parts of England leads to flights being

:16:35. > :16:43.cancelled. Let's find out what is happening with the weather. Fog has

:16:44. > :16:52.been causing issues once again. This shop, from Wiltshire. There is some

:16:53. > :16:55.folk out there. It isn't as dense as widespread as yesterday. That is

:16:56. > :17:00.some good news, but causing problems on the roads and at the airport.

:17:01. > :17:05.City parts of fronts, Belgium and the Netherlands. The good news is,

:17:06. > :17:08.with more praise of developing and we are starting with that as

:17:09. > :17:14.widespread it will withdraw through the swinging. Mr across southern

:17:15. > :17:17.areas into East Anglia. There will be brighter breaks and the beast of

:17:25. > :17:28.in this Scotland. He will visit north of mainland Scotland it is

:17:29. > :17:32.thoroughly wet. As before 24 hours. Well over 100 millimetres, four

:17:33. > :17:39.inches, has fallen for something that could minor flooding. Another

:17:40. > :17:42.issue to be wary of. Green edges towards the north of Northern

:17:43. > :17:46.Ireland by the end of the afternoon. With from God, what spots of rain.

:17:47. > :17:50.Most of us will be dragged through New Year's Eve. Temperatures up to

:17:51. > :17:56.12 degrees. Where the club lingers, five or six Celsius. If you have

:17:57. > :18:01.plans, heading off to a big outdoor event this evening, this is what you

:18:02. > :18:05.can expect. Reading for a time this evening. Some heavy rain and gusty

:18:06. > :18:10.winds. That spreads into northern England by the time we reach

:18:11. > :18:15.midnight. The bells will rain in 2017 with largely clear conditions,

:18:16. > :18:20.just one or two wintry showers. As we finished with a 16 in southern

:18:21. > :18:23.parts of the UK, patch of rain and drizzle. By the time we get to me

:18:24. > :18:29.that it will start to throw it down in the north-west of Wales and some

:18:30. > :18:33.gusty winds. Temperatures will hold up nicely in south-westerly winds,

:18:34. > :18:37.feeling increasingly cold across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Cold,

:18:38. > :18:41.Arctic air is coming our way. It will be with many of us for New

:18:42. > :18:44.Year's Day. Come on behind the weather front that will stand much

:18:45. > :18:48.of southern England and South Wales to New Year's Day. Clearing away in

:18:49. > :18:53.the day from those in England but as colder digs in the could be wet snow

:18:54. > :18:58.mixed in on higher ground. Best day of brightness for Newsday. If you

:18:59. > :19:01.want to work of the events of the previous day for the northern

:19:02. > :19:04.England and those in Scotland, even here there will be one or two wintry

:19:05. > :19:07.showers and abide to the wind. It leaves us with the drier conditions

:19:08. > :19:15.from old and Tuesday. Lots of sunshine poor Dave Brad Trost by

:19:16. > :19:18.night. What are you doing tonight? I am celebrating with an early night,

:19:19. > :19:26.I am about three o'clock tomorrow morning. We should celebrate with

:19:27. > :19:31.the Australians and a few hours. They are supposed to help disabled

:19:32. > :19:35.people live independently but an investigation has a 40% of councils

:19:36. > :19:38.in England are failing to prosecute motorists for misusing blue badges.

:19:39. > :19:42.Figures from the Department for Transport should disabled parking

:19:43. > :19:49.permits have been used without fear of finds in 61 out of 152 local

:19:50. > :19:52.authority areas. James Taylor is from a disability charity and joins

:19:53. > :19:59.us now from our London newsroom. Good morning. Give us a sense of how

:20:00. > :20:04.this is playing out in the lives of people, what difference does this

:20:05. > :20:08.make? It is staggering that many councils are not committed to

:20:09. > :20:13.tackling blue badge abuse and prosecuting blue badge misuse.

:20:14. > :20:19.Councils have a duty to disabled people in that area and taxpayers to

:20:20. > :20:23.get this right. Many disabled people, around 2 million, rely on

:20:24. > :20:27.the blue badge scheme to live independently, to take part in the

:20:28. > :20:31.community and to contribute to the local economy and, for them, the

:20:32. > :20:36.scheme is a lifeline, whether it is going to work, getting to school,

:20:37. > :20:45.being near to park near Tesco's. Are you hearing many stories of the

:20:46. > :20:48.abuse of the badges? What are they doing, borrowing them, using them

:20:49. > :20:56.when they shouldn't be, what do you hear? Misuse can take several forms.

:20:57. > :21:00.It can using a stolen badge, altering a badge, knowingly using a

:21:01. > :21:04.stolen badge, but the majority of cases this year have been drivers

:21:05. > :21:09.using a badge belonging to someone else. Fines of ?1000 are available,

:21:10. > :21:14.however that is a deterrent if policies are not in place. What do

:21:15. > :21:19.you make of the fact that local authorities, what this asks is do

:21:20. > :21:25.they have a policy for prosecuting drivers and what becomes apparent is

:21:26. > :21:30.an awful lot don't? We want to see consistency across the country. Some

:21:31. > :21:35.councils are doing a lot to clamp down on blue badge misuse, but what

:21:36. > :21:38.is clear from the data is that many are not. No, blue badges are a

:21:39. > :21:43.lifeline to many disabled people and help them to live independently and

:21:44. > :21:49.contribute to the local economy. When blue badge misuse takes place

:21:50. > :21:54.it stops this from happening. Is the Dan Suter ticket out of the control

:21:55. > :22:02.of local councils that local authorities? Treated like you would

:22:03. > :22:06.a different motoring offence? The powers are there, what we need is

:22:07. > :22:09.consistency and greater awareness. There are councils that have taken

:22:10. > :22:16.many steps to Micklewood wrists and drivers aware of the prosecutions

:22:17. > :22:19.that are available if they do part in a blue badge space. We need to

:22:20. > :22:29.see that happening more across the country. Thank you very much for

:22:30. > :22:41.your time. Time now for a look at the newspapers. Now, and Longfield

:22:42. > :22:44.is children's commissioner for England. Thank you for joining us.

:22:45. > :22:51.That's the good work for dry because you started with a nice cheerful

:22:52. > :22:59.story. Going global as well. So, this is billed as it charts to give

:23:00. > :23:04.you reasons to be cheerful if you feel that 2016 could have been

:23:05. > :23:07.better. It tells us that why there are a lot of things that need

:23:08. > :23:13.sorting, actually, in missions for the last three years, greenhouse

:23:14. > :23:20.emissions, have flattened of. Diseases are following, Sri Lanka

:23:21. > :23:24.has eradicated malaria now, for instance. Extreme poverty following

:23:25. > :23:30.in the world. Also an interesting point about connectivity in Africa.

:23:31. > :23:33.That is the place that by 2020, 300 million people will be connected

:23:34. > :23:38.digitally which will be twice as many as in North America. That will

:23:39. > :23:46.be an amazing change over the next few years. The number of people who

:23:47. > :23:52.live on less than $1 and 90 cents a day, that is another drop. With many

:23:53. > :23:57.of those statistics, maybe it doesn't feel like that. With

:23:58. > :24:02.greenhouse emissions it says it has two dropped by 80% to stop the earth

:24:03. > :24:07.warming up to the amount needed. There is a lot to do, but

:24:08. > :24:14.interesting. Nice to have a bit of cheerful as well. We have a story

:24:15. > :24:18.about twitter. For the Twitter community, this will be a big thing.

:24:19. > :24:23.We have seen increasingly politicians taking to twitter and

:24:24. > :24:29.making big statements on Twitter over recent weeks. They have been

:24:36. > :24:42.they should be able to rather than just delete them. Are we talking

:24:43. > :24:47.after you have posted it? Yes. At the moment there is no edit button.

:24:48. > :24:51.We have to get rid of it, delete it and put another one up instead and

:24:52. > :24:59.not you will be able to edit it. Yesterday I did a tweet and made a

:25:00. > :25:07.mistake. I posted that wearing a Christmas suit. Instead of hour that

:25:08. > :25:14.I posted out that and I thought I'll have to delete and read it. It is

:25:15. > :25:22.unhelpful. There are ways people can find deleted tweet. It will become

:25:23. > :25:28.particularly important with a new resident who will carry on tweeting.

:25:29. > :25:32.You have shown the treaty is putting out at the moment. Weather and of

:25:33. > :25:38.those get and that it would not, we shall see. People are pleased that

:25:39. > :25:44.is on its way. It is an easy communication method to

:25:45. > :25:49.misunderstand. It is so brief and so fast. Actually, it is faster than

:25:50. > :26:00.most medication. It is doubly risky, in many ways. That is why Charlie is

:26:01. > :26:05.not honoured. We all like going to the pictures, this is Anderson Jones

:26:06. > :26:10.who has taken it a step further. He is quite quirky. This is a gentleman

:26:11. > :26:13.in Stoke who loved his local cinema so much that when it closed he

:26:14. > :26:22.wanted to build one in his back garden. It is in replica of the

:26:23. > :26:26.1980s tune. He has 34 seats, it has taken years to build. It is in his

:26:27. > :26:33.garden. It is only for family and friends, he has the good seats, a

:26:34. > :26:37.replica carpet and he has a little for you and people, his wife who is

:26:38. > :26:46.very supportive, comes out with refreshments. There is an usher.

:26:47. > :26:53.This is an absolute replica. For someone, I love the film Cinema

:26:54. > :26:57.Paradiso, which is about being in love with cinema, I think there is

:26:58. > :27:00.something lovely about this. There is no financial gain. He has just

:27:01. > :27:09.put a lot of time and effort into it. What would be your first film,

:27:10. > :27:13.if that was yours? I love Cinema Paradiso. It is about someone grew

:27:14. > :27:20.up in Italy with cinema. I would go for that. And you can pause when you

:27:21. > :27:29.go to the toilet as well. There are toilets in here as well. It has got

:27:30. > :27:36.it all. Lovely to see you. Happy New Year. Let's see what is still to

:27:37. > :27:41.come this morning. 2016 has been a year of highs and lows. We will be

:27:42. > :27:44.joined by the Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and we will

:27:45. > :27:49.talk to her about plans for a second referendum on independence. We have

:27:50. > :27:58.very clearly run the Royal pictures over the sequence. One of those

:27:59. > :28:02.moments. You want the charities will look you up. Olympic stars of

:28:03. > :28:10.course. Who was the thing they all played well with us throughout the

:28:11. > :28:14.Olympics. So, but to look forward to from us here. We will bring you the

:28:15. > :28:15.best bet in our major review of the last 12 months. The headlands are

:28:16. > :28:50.coming up. Hello, this is Breakfast with

:28:51. > :28:57.Charlie Stayt and Steph McGovern. Matt will have your

:28:58. > :28:59.full weather forecast. But first, a summary of

:29:00. > :29:03.this morning's main news. More than a hundred Olympic

:29:04. > :29:08.and Paralympic stars have been recognised

:30:08. > :30:12.than a thousand people as our entertainment correspondent

:30:13. > :30:21.Lizo Mzimba reports. He's been one of Britain's

:30:22. > :30:25.favourite entertainers Now Ken Dodd has received

:30:26. > :30:28.a knighthood. The best day ever,

:30:29. > :30:31.you can't get better than this. I've played lots of big theatres,

:30:32. > :30:34.I've worked abroad, but this is it. The "Bouquet" residence!

:30:35. > :30:48.The lady of the house speaking. Actress Patricia Routledge,

:31:08. > :31:14.have also been recognised. said she was touched

:31:15. > :31:19.to be made a Dame. Designer Victoria Beckham

:31:20. > :31:24.becomes an OBE. was chaired by the former

:31:25. > :31:29.Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones. Obviously great pride,

:31:30. > :31:36.but mixed with sadness, because of that enduring sadness

:31:37. > :31:39.of the families who have continued to feel the loss

:31:40. > :31:43.of their loved ones. He is one of hundreds

:31:44. > :31:45.being recognised for their contribution

:31:46. > :31:46.across the UK. There's a warning

:31:47. > :31:55.that heavy fog could cause Yesterday the UK's biggest airports,

:31:56. > :31:59.Heathrow and Gatwick, The Met Office says driving

:32:00. > :32:05.conditions will be difficult in many areas of central, eastern

:32:06. > :32:09.and south-east England. Simon Calder, travel editor

:32:10. > :32:22.of the Independent, Simon, I understand you have an

:32:23. > :32:26.update on what is happening. I'm afraid things are getting worse, it

:32:27. > :32:30.is a pretty bleak day, as you can see, the fog is actually clearing a

:32:31. > :32:35.little. At seven o'clock this morning you couldn't see anything,

:32:36. > :32:38.merely hear the old plane arriving. While there was all sorts of hi-tech

:32:39. > :32:42.stuff to get them to land safely even if there is low visibility,

:32:43. > :32:47.unfortunately air-traffic controllers have to slow down the

:32:48. > :32:51.arrivals rate, and that gums everything up at an airport as busy

:32:52. > :32:55.as Heathrow. So British Airways have cancelled about 50 flights today.

:32:56. > :32:59.Unfortunately, if you are trying to get to Istanbul on the flight

:33:00. > :33:03.leaving three minutes ago, that has just been cancelled, as has the

:33:04. > :33:08.flight to Rome in two minutes' time. Across the other side of the

:33:09. > :33:12.capital, London City is even worse affected. Incoming passengers are

:33:13. > :33:16.finding themselves in various parts of Essex, having been diverted to

:33:17. > :33:23.Stansted all South end, and other airlines have all cancelled flights

:33:24. > :33:26.this morning from London City. Unfortunately, the airport closes

:33:27. > :33:30.for its normal weekend curfew at lunchtime, so if you don't get out

:33:31. > :33:35.this morning, you are kind of stuck. So flights cancelled and delayed,

:33:36. > :33:40.what can people do if they are due to fly in the next 24 hours also? It

:33:41. > :33:45.is really tricky, if your flight has been cancelled you go to the back of

:33:46. > :33:50.the queue, trying to find seats on the few available sites. I have been

:33:51. > :33:56.to the Heathrow hotels, talking to passengers who have missed

:33:57. > :33:59.connections. If you fall give me a Ray Davies reference, they spent all

:34:00. > :34:02.of the day and all of the night here at Heathrow, tried to book another

:34:03. > :34:08.flights, but very few seats available. Airlines are responsible

:34:09. > :34:12.for paying for accommodation and meals until they can get you to your

:34:13. > :34:17.destination, but I'm afraid it does look bleak. Simon, thank you very

:34:18. > :34:18.much for your time this morning, Simon Calder, travel editor at the

:34:19. > :34:21.Independent. Around 3,000 police officers will be

:34:22. > :34:23.on duty across central London tonight as crowds gather

:34:24. > :34:26.to celebrate the new year. Greater Manchester Police

:34:27. > :34:27.and other forces say they've also stepped up

:34:28. > :34:29.crowd protection measures. Scotland Yard says extra resources

:34:30. > :34:31.have been brought in to keep people safe

:34:32. > :34:33.following the terror attacks in Berlin and Nice

:34:34. > :34:36.earlier this year. Donald Trump has praised

:34:37. > :34:38.Russia's President Putin for his decision

:34:39. > :34:40.not to engage in a row In a tweet,

:34:41. > :34:43.the US President-elect said he always knew the Russian leader

:34:44. > :34:47.was "very smart". President Obama has ordered

:34:48. > :34:49.35 Russian diplomats to leave the country

:34:50. > :34:50.after accusing Moscow of interfering in November's

:34:51. > :34:56.presidential election. anyone who owns an air gun

:34:57. > :35:01.in Scotland will need a licence. The legislation was

:35:02. > :35:03.introduced after a toddler was killed by an air-gun pellet

:35:04. > :35:06.in Glasgow in 2005. People in England and Wales

:35:07. > :35:09.can own the weapons It's the time of year for charts

:35:10. > :35:18.and lists and best-ofs, so we thought we'd take this

:35:19. > :35:20.opportunity to share from the BBC Breakfast social-media

:35:21. > :35:29.accounts over the last 12 months. Is it a hard-hitting piece

:35:30. > :35:33.of journalism or a stunning expose? It's this footage of

:35:34. > :35:39.giant panda Da Mao battling a snowman

:35:40. > :35:46.at Toronto Zoo. Thousands of you liked

:35:47. > :35:51.and shared these pictures when they went online

:35:52. > :35:57.a couple of weeks ago. It is quite mesmerising, actually,

:35:58. > :36:05.this is my favourite bit, are you ready for this?

:36:06. > :36:09.It does carry on for quite a while, and you can understand why it is so

:36:10. > :36:12.popular, because he get backs up now.

:36:13. > :36:17.It is the determination. It is hard to get a grip, what is this, a

:36:18. > :36:20.straddle? He gets on top, and then look out!

:36:21. > :36:28.I call that uncomfortable, personally!

:36:29. > :36:37.Such elegance and grace! I wonder what the snowman did to upset him!

:36:38. > :36:40.We could watch that all day. We will leave him there.

:36:41. > :36:44.He is still on the social media page, if you want to watch the whole

:36:45. > :36:47.thing. So many sports stars recognise

:36:48. > :36:51.today. Yes, great to see so many Olympians

:36:52. > :36:54.and Paralympians on the list, you have been talking about the big

:36:55. > :37:04.ones, and all of those in those round of the -- VTs. Kate

:37:05. > :37:09.Richardson-Walsh has been made, because you do not get given, she

:37:10. > :37:13.has been made CBE, and Chris Coleman, the Wales manager, has been

:37:14. > :37:21.made an OBE. The whole of the British hockey team, you were

:37:22. > :37:25.talking to Sam Quek, they are MBE. So many, the list goes on and on,

:37:26. > :37:29.hundreds of them. It is great to have a chance to talk about what

:37:30. > :37:32.they did, look back on everything, and the round-up of the year that we

:37:33. > :37:36.showed early on the programme, absolutely brilliant. All that

:37:37. > :37:40.remains for me to talk about is a bit of football that has been

:37:41. > :37:41.happening over the last couple of days, you have been taking the big

:37:42. > :37:44.stories of the day! Hull City are off the bottom

:37:45. > :37:46.of the Premier League, but they missed out on a first

:37:47. > :37:49.league win in nearly two months after a late Everton

:37:50. > :37:51.equaliser at the KCOM. The Tigers went ahead

:37:52. > :37:53.but were pegged back when Robert Snodgrass scored

:37:54. > :37:55.this brilliant free kick They couldn't hang

:37:56. > :37:58.on for victory, though. Ross Barkley nodded

:37:59. > :38:00.in the Everton equaliser late on. I'm really pleased, because over

:38:01. > :38:06.the past three or four weeks, we've put in a shift

:38:07. > :38:09.and got nothing. Today we've put in a

:38:10. > :38:11.shift and got a point. We could be greedy and ask for more,

:38:12. > :38:15.but I'm really proud of the players for their efforts and we have to go

:38:16. > :38:18.again in two, three days' time. I am really pleased tonight

:38:19. > :38:22.about our performance. I wasn't happy about

:38:23. > :38:27.our slow start, 1-0 down, but we showed twice, really,

:38:28. > :38:32.in the result, a really good attitude

:38:33. > :38:34.and a good reaction. It's a busy day in the

:38:35. > :38:42.Premier League with top billing against Manchester City,

:38:43. > :38:47.who are third. City will be boosted by the return

:38:48. > :39:01.of striker Sergio Aguero, No, he is ready, he can play good

:39:02. > :39:09.for us. Yeah, finally come back after seven games banned, three

:39:10. > :39:12.games plus four. And we are happy he is back.

:39:13. > :39:20.Actually, I hope Pep gave him the opportunity to have three and a half

:39:21. > :39:25.weeks off, somewhere with good weather, Argentina is good at the

:39:26. > :39:29.moment. He can only score goals of somebody gives him the ball, so we

:39:30. > :39:36.have to avoid the easy passes, I would say. Probably each pass in his

:39:37. > :39:38.area, but the easy ones we should avoid, and we can defend.

:39:39. > :39:41.There was one game in the Scottish Premiership last night

:39:42. > :39:45.The goal came from Jonny Hayes in the 66th minute.

:39:46. > :39:47.The third placed Dons are now six points ahead of Hearts,

:39:48. > :39:53.Celtic could extend their lead over Rangers to 19 points

:39:54. > :39:57.in the Scottish Premiership if they win the Old Firm derby

:39:58. > :40:01.Celtic are unbeaten in 23 domestic matches this season,

:40:02. > :40:09.and it's their last game before the winter break in Scotland.

:40:10. > :40:16.We have had a really tough month of nine games, seven of which we won,

:40:17. > :40:20.one draw in the Champions League. So we want to win the game, of course.

:40:21. > :40:25.However, whatever way the result goes for us, we had a brilliant

:40:26. > :40:29.opening period to the season. We will go away, reenergise and refocus

:40:30. > :40:31.and be better in the second part of the season.

:40:32. > :40:35.Andy Murray has been knighted in the New Year's Honours list.

:40:36. > :40:38.He'll play in the third-place playoff within the next hour,

:40:39. > :40:41.after a surprise defeat yesterday to David Goffin in the semifinals

:40:42. > :40:44.of the World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi.

:40:45. > :40:50.He is already a couple of breaks up against Milos Raonic.

:40:51. > :40:52.Goffin will play Rafael Nadal in the final

:40:53. > :40:54.after he beat Milos Raonic in three sets.

:40:55. > :40:57.Andy Murray on course for third place at the world tennis

:40:58. > :41:00.championships in Abu Dhabi. To rugby union, and George North

:41:01. > :41:02.will return for Northampton Saints in their Premiership match

:41:03. > :41:04.at Gloucester tomorrow. It will be the Welshman's first game

:41:05. > :41:07.since suffering a head injury That was North's fifth

:41:08. > :41:10.concussion in two years, including two in the match

:41:11. > :41:12.on your screen now between England and Wales

:41:13. > :41:14.in February 2015. A review board said North

:41:15. > :41:16.shouldn't have continued to play against Leicester, but they

:41:17. > :41:27.didn't sanction Northampton. Raymond van Barneveld knocked out

:41:28. > :41:30.Phil "The Power" Taylor in the quarter-finals of

:41:31. > :41:32.the PDC World Darts Championship. In what was billed as

:41:33. > :41:34.the El Clasico of darts, the Dutchman saw off Taylor 5-3

:41:35. > :41:37.at Alexandra Palace. He'll play world number one

:41:38. > :41:52.Michael van Gerwen in the semis. I always think the crowd would put

:41:53. > :41:58.the off if I was playing darts. I think that in any sport, in golf,

:41:59. > :42:03.with the huge ground, I would lie down in the feudal position!

:42:04. > :42:06.It is quite unusual, the darts, it is such a social occasion, it is

:42:07. > :42:09.like being in a club or something and someone playing darts in front

:42:10. > :42:13.of you. You have got to be the kind of

:42:14. > :42:14.personality that thrives on that, and the players do, they love it,

:42:15. > :42:25.don't they? The rules of rugby and boxing are

:42:26. > :42:28.often changed to make the sport safer for children to play, but is

:42:29. > :42:31.it now time for football to do the same?

:42:32. > :42:33.With research linking heading the ball to brain injuries,

:42:34. > :42:34.the Professional Footballers Association says

:42:35. > :42:37.it's time to think about banning headers in the junior game.

:42:38. > :42:38.In America, they're banned for under-10s.

:42:39. > :42:52.visiting the National Football Museum think of the idea.

:42:53. > :43:02.As a mum, I am concerned about a ball impact in on my son's head. If

:43:03. > :43:05.they are having a kick around in the park, you're not going to be able to

:43:06. > :43:13.stop them. It is ridiculous, where do you draw the line? If children

:43:14. > :43:19.are trained to do it correctly, unless there is evidence otherwise,

:43:20. > :43:24.we should leave it to run as it is. If there were no headers allowed, it

:43:25. > :43:30.would change football. If children and ten not able to do it, they

:43:31. > :43:33.would not want to play. It is a bad idea, because like some people are

:43:34. > :43:38.defenders and they have to head the ball to get it out. If they don't,

:43:39. > :43:40.the other team will probably school. Some good views there!

:43:41. > :43:43.With us now are children's football coach Nathan Sargerson

:43:44. > :43:46.a neuroscientist from the University of East Anglia.

:43:47. > :43:53.Good morning to you both. You are a football coach, you are used to kids

:43:54. > :43:59.in training, what will they make of this idea? It will be... I think it

:44:00. > :44:03.will be difficult to take out of the game initially. I think it has got

:44:04. > :44:10.to come from governing bodies like the FA, and it will be hard at
