Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Steph

:00:00.:00:00.

More than 100 stars of the Olympics and Paralympics are recognised

:00:07.:00:09.

Andy Murray and Mo Farah are given knighthoods.

:00:10.:00:13.

Nearly 1,200 people are on this year's list, from entertainers

:00:14.:00:21.

We'll be hearing from some of them on this morning's programme.

:00:22.:00:40.

Good morning, it's Saturday 31st December.

:00:41.:00:42.

Warnings of travel disruption on the roads and at airports

:00:43.:00:45.

as freezing fog continues to affect parts of the country.

:00:46.:00:50.

Security plans for New Year's Eve celebrations are modified

:00:51.:00:52.

in response to this year's terror attacks in Berlin and Nice.

:00:53.:00:58.

In sport away from the New Year's Honours,

:00:59.:01:00.

Hull City were denied their first league win for almost two months

:01:01.:01:03.

by Everton, they drew 2-2, but the point was enough to lift

:01:04.:01:07.

them off the bottom of the Premier League.

:01:08.:01:09.

And Matt has more on those tricky weather conditions.

:01:10.:01:18.

Still somersault around this morning, particularly around

:01:19.:01:22.

southern areas but not as bad as yesterday. -- still summer fog. I

:01:23.:01:27.

will have the details later. More than 100 Olympic and Paralympic

:01:28.:01:29.

stars have been recognised in the New Year Honours list,

:01:30.:01:33.

now Sir Andy Murray, a fitting finish

:02:14.:02:15.

to a remarkable season. There's also a new title

:02:16.:02:19.

for Mo Farah's collection. He described his knighthood

:02:20.:02:22.

as a dream come true. Having come to Britain

:02:23.:02:29.

as an eight-year-old from Somalia, he added, he could never

:02:30.:02:33.

have imagined it. Another athletics star,

:02:34.:02:36.

meanwhile, becomes a dame. London 2012 heptathlon champion,

:02:37.:02:38.

Jessica Ennis-Hill, There's also a damehood

:02:39.:02:41.

for rower Katherine Grainger. After five medals at five

:02:42.:02:46.

consecutive Olympics, It's not something I ever thought

:02:47.:02:49.

I would get but what a great time It's the end of a 20-year career

This morning on Breakfast we'll be hearing from people who've been

:05:43.:05:46.

There's a warning that heavy fog could cause further

:05:47.:05:48.

Yesterday the UK's biggest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick cancelled

:05:49.:05:52.

the Met Office says driving conditions will be difficult in many

:05:53.:05:57.

areas of central, eastern and south-east England.

:05:58.:05:58.

Our reporter Simon Jones is at Heathrow Airport this morning.

:05:59.:06:02.

Bring us up to date this morning. I've just checked the departure

:06:03.:06:11.

board here and it makes for pretty grim reading. We have a number of

:06:12.:06:15.

flights already delayed and some have been cancelled. It is thought

:06:16.:06:21.

that yesterday around 30,000 passengers flying to and from the UK

:06:22.:06:25.

had their flights cancelled and spare a thought for the passengers

depart. They have had a delay of 16 hours. This is due to a yellow

:06:40.:06:44.

warning for fog. That means people should be prepared. Although the fog

:06:45.:06:49.

has lifted somewhat from its worst position yesterday afternoon, still,

:06:50.:06:53.

we are told on the roads there could be treacherous conditions with dense

:06:54.:06:58.

fog and visibility under 100 metres. It is not just the fog that is

:06:59.:07:03.

causing trouble here in southern England and central England, in

in Glasgow in 2005. Thousands of the weapons have been

:09:18.:09:19.

surrendered in advance of the deadline, though critics say

:09:20.:09:23.

the change won't reduce gun crime, These are the guns that by January

:09:24.:09:34.

one will be illegal unless it their owners have a licence. Already

:09:35.:09:39.

11,000 people have applied for a certificate and anyone with a gun

:09:40.:09:43.

licence already can add air weapons to that. Thousands of air gun owners

:09:44.:09:47.

have missed the deadline of the 31st of October to apply for a permit.

:09:48.:09:52.

Anyone who applied residue to get before October 31 is OK because they

applied early. -- for a certificate. Those who applied for the next

:10:33.:10:37.

achieve nothing. The people who will miss use a rifle is not the type of

:10:38.:10:41.

people who are going to go to the trouble of licensing their weapons

:10:42.:10:45.

anyway. But hackers of the new laws they eat weapons are involved in

:10:46.:10:49.

half of all gun crime in Scotland -- air weapons. Tightening the

:10:50.:10:55.

legislation is justified. Thousands of airguns have already been handed

into police to be destroyed. Craig Anderson, News, Inverness.

Thousands of Star Wars devotees turned out in New Orleans yesterday

to pay tribute to the actress Carrie Fisher.

Fans dressed as a variety of characters from the film series -

A lot of them are with pictures of those being announced on the honours

list. This is one on the foreign aid budget. That is the Daily Mail's

:11:54.:12:03.

take. Also a play on the word. You can see what they have done. We will

:12:04.:12:13.

hear more about some of the sporting nominations and also many of those

who have an awarded for service to the community, we are speaking to

them later. Andy Murray is on the front of the Daily Telegraph was not

now, Sir Andy Murray, of course. Also a story of people drinking and

the pressure of -- that people who drink put on the NHS. Also on the

:12:34.:12:39.

front page of the Daily Mirror, they are also highlighting the award for

Sir Ken Dodd. Finally being awarded an knighthood. He is now 89 years

:12:49.:12:53.

old. Look at the quote. "I'm Very, very happy. I'm full of

:13:08.:13:11.

from BBC News. Andy Murray and Mo Farah have been

recognised with knighthoods, while Jessica Ennis-Hill

and Katherine Grainger become Dames Thousands of travellers face

disruption this morning as freezing fog in parts of England

:13:24.:13:26.

leads to flights being cancelled, It is time to find out how the

:13:27.:13:40.

weather is looking for the next couple of days. That is a pretty

:13:41.:13:46.

funky picture. Just a little bit. We have some fog around. Happy

:13:47.:13:51.

Hogmanay. The fog is not as dense or as widespread as yesterday. If you

:13:52.:13:55.

are on the move across central and southern England in south-east

:13:56.:14:00.

Wales, it could be impacting travel. Not as bad as yesterday. It makes

:14:01.:14:04.

for a great start across southern areas. Chilly as well. Not as much

:14:05.:14:09.

frost. Temperatures above freezing for the most. A few breaks in a

:14:10.:14:15.

cloud across north-east England. Rain or drizzle more likely to be

:14:16.:14:19.

across the fells of Cumbria. A dry start from Northern Ireland and much

:14:20.:14:23.

of southern Scotland. Brightness for eastern Scotland. A miserable start

:14:24.:14:27.

for the west. It has been raining relentlessly for the last 24 hours.

:14:28.:14:32.

Over 100 millimetres of rain in the Highlands. There will be flooding

:14:33.:14:36.

issues. The rain pushes southwards later and across the rest of

:14:37.:14:40.

Scotland to the afternoon. Eventually into Northern Ireland.

:14:41.:14:45.

Away from that, dry. The best of the brighter breaks will be to the east

:14:46.:14:50.

of high ground. Temperatures around 7- 12 degrees. If you are out this

:14:51.:14:54.

evening, be prepared for rain early in Scotland and Northern Ireland,

:14:55.:14:59.

but by midnight, clearer skies and cold conditions. Winter conditions

:15:00.:15:03.

for northern parts of Northern Ireland. If you are celebrating

:15:04.:15:07.

across England and Wales, rain pushing into north-west England by

:15:08.:15:10.

the time to get to midnight and to the north and west of files. Patchy

:15:11.:15:15.

rain and drizzle across western areas. The rest of you will see the

:15:16.:15:19.

New Year under dry conditions. A mild start to 2017 across the south.

:15:20.:15:24.

Chilly conditions across midnight in Scotland and Northern Ireland. They

:15:25.:15:29.

will push southwards. A slow process through New Year's day, but it will

:15:30.:15:35.

eventually reach all of us. Beware that will struggle to shift away. It

:15:36.:15:43.

is through a good part of south and central England through the day.

:15:44.:15:46.

Whole debate brighter conditions for Scotland and Northern Ireland with

:15:47.:15:50.

winter showers, and the colder weather takes us into Monday and

:15:51.:15:55.

Tuesday. A few winter flurries here and there, but most will be clear

:15:56.:15:59.

and dry by day and cold and frosty by night. That is how it is looking.

:16:00.:16:03.

Another update in an hour. Thank you.

:16:04.:16:05.

Security's being stepped up ahead of tonight's New Year's Eve

:16:06.:16:08.

celebrations in London, following the terror attacks

:16:09.:16:10.

The Police Federation says that while there's no specific

:16:11.:16:14.

intelligence about an attack in the capital, more officers

:16:15.:16:16.

will be on duty than in previous years,

:16:17.:16:18.

Greater Manchester police and other forces say they're also

:16:19.:16:22.

putting on extra crowd protection measures.

:16:23.:16:24.

Peter Bleksley is a former Scotland Yard detective

:16:25.:16:26.

A lot of this is about reassurance. Yes, but it is also very necessary.

:16:27.:16:43.

As with so -- as we saw in building in ace, those opportunistic attacks

:16:44.:16:49.

by difficult for intelligent sensors to detect -- Berlin and knees. They

:16:50.:16:58.

need to be in a position to thwart any attack should happen. We'll be

:16:59.:17:03.

public notice any difference? I think people will be somewhat

:17:04.:17:08.

alarmed, and as we saw in Northumbria a couple of weeks ago, a

:17:09.:17:12.

couple of heavily police officers were at a Christmas market, and were

:17:13.:17:16.

smiling and having photographs taken by children. There was an uproar. I

:17:17.:17:21.

would say to the public, I'm afraid this is the state of affairs need to

:17:22.:17:26.

reverse entry. You will have to get used to C and heavily armed police

:17:27.:17:32.

at sporting events and all of that. There will become -- they will be

:17:33.:17:42.

compound of everyday life. It is sad and very necessary. We have to

:17:43.:17:52.

understand and appreciate there are those who would like to wipe us from

:17:53.:17:56.

the face of the Earth. We need to do as much as we possibly can

:17:57.:18:00.

collectively to try to thwart these people. The way these changes have

:18:01.:18:04.

been described is that the plans have been modified. How often are

:18:05.:18:08.

plans being modified? It is only right that the police review their

:18:09.:18:13.

tactics after each and every atrocity, especially with billing

:18:14.:18:17.

and knees, but people may see tonight is more roadblocks. They

:18:18.:18:22.

will be out accordance as well as in accordions -- Berlin and Nice. More

:18:23.:18:25.

traffic will be stopped and roadblocks put in place to stop

:18:26.:18:29.

trucks and lorries and flagged down the drivers in question them and see

:18:30.:18:33.

what they are doing before waving them on their way if they are of

:18:34.:18:36.

course just going about their business. We talked mainly about

:18:37.:18:39.

because parts about what is going on, but a scattering of the work, we

:18:40.:18:46.

don't know about that -- obviously a lot of the work. As we enjoy the

:18:47.:18:52.

revelry of New Year's if tonight, I can guarantee you somewhere around

:18:53.:18:56.

the country, there will be people from the intelligence services or

:18:57.:19:00.

the police digging into observation points in very cold, wet and

:19:01.:19:07.

uncomfortable situations doing their job 24/7, 365 days of the year,

:19:08.:19:12.

often quite heroically to try to keep us also. Peter, thank you for

:19:13.:19:16.

your time this morning. Have a happy New Year.

:19:17.:19:18.

The singer and actor Paul Robeson was a key figure in the American

:19:19.:19:21.

But what's less well known is his solidarity

:19:22.:19:24.

One of his lesser known films, The Proud Valley, has now been

:19:25.:19:30.

remastered by the British Film Institute, and is to be taken

:19:31.:19:33.

on tour as part of their season celebrating black actors.

:19:34.:19:35.

# Back to work # All through the night #.

:19:36.:19:57.

The story of a black man who enchanted a South Wales mining

:19:58.:20:02.

community. Paul Robeson's film The Proud Valley was a box office flop,

:20:03.:20:06.

but now it is being remastered and taken on tour. This is a former

:20:07.:20:11.

miner and trade union leader. For him, Paul Robeson is a leader. We

:20:12.:20:18.

remember seeing him there, he has something. Not only a voice but a

:20:19.:20:22.

way of speaking about half of his people, and that stayed with me for

:20:23.:20:27.

many years. Mining has now largely disappeared from the valleys of

:20:28.:20:30.

South Wales, but that connection between the people of these

:20:31.:20:34.

communities and the son of a slave who became a lawyer, a civil rights

:20:35.:20:38.

activist and one of the most famous actors of his generation endures.

:20:39.:20:46.

# Let it be known as two be proud Valley was made in 1940, but Paul

:20:47.:20:51.

Robeson's connection to Wales dates back to the 1920s when he met a

:20:52.:20:56.

group of miners who walked from South Wales to London to draw

:20:57.:20:59.

attention to the hardship they enjoyed. The first time, he saw the

:21:00.:21:03.

miners' struggle was similar to his own for rights. My warmest greetings

:21:04.:21:12.

to the people of my beloved Wales. In 1957, Paul Robeson was banned

:21:13.:21:16.

from travelling. He addressed a group of miners from a secret

:21:17.:21:19.

studio. Thousands gathered to hear him sing at the miners' area. It was

:21:20.:21:29.

quite stunning, quite electric that we heard his voice coming from the

:21:30.:21:34.

studio in New York. Paul Robeson was one of the few people who actually

:21:35.:21:40.

stood up to racism and the lynchings in the deep South and campaigned for

:21:41.:21:44.

peace and campaigned for Colonial Freedom. He had that same

:21:45.:21:50.

internationalist view that the southern Wales miners had, a shared

:21:51.:21:55.

common humanity. It is that history that the British Film Institute is

:21:56.:21:58.

celebrating as part of its black start season. Paul Robeson was

:21:59.:22:04.

especially proud of this film because it gave him an opportunity

:22:05.:22:08.

to express his socialist beliefs, and he could represent the Wales

:22:09.:22:15.

working class. In many of his films he felt he could not do this

:22:16.:22:19.

through, because he was oppressed by the Hollywood system. An exhibition

:22:20.:22:23.

of his work will run at the BFI Southbank in London until the end of

:22:24.:22:28.

January, but perhaps it is in South Wales he will be most fondly

:22:29.:22:29.

remembered. We will take a moment now to look

:22:30.:22:41.

back at what has been an extraordinary year, 2016. It has

:22:42.:22:46.

been quite incredible. A lot of people feel like they need a lie

:22:47.:22:48.

down in a dark room after it. From the deaths of some

:22:49.:22:50.

of the world's best-known celebrities, to dramatic political

:22:51.:22:52.

moments, extraordinary scientific feats and epic sporting

:22:53.:22:54.

achievements, to name but a few. It's also been a year of big

:22:55.:22:57.

change here on Breakfast. So as 2017 approaches,

:22:58.:23:00.

we'd like to share with you some of the moments that made us laugh

:23:01.:23:03.

and cry over the last 12 months. 2016 was a year of change on BBC

:23:04.:23:20.

Breakfast. The year we say goodbye to a old friend, Bill. Straight down

:23:21.:23:25.

the middle. I was taking a great interest in your isobars. Are they

:23:26.:23:30.

tightly packed? They are. I meant nothing by that. I'm so glad they

:23:31.:23:36.

did not do the job is one. Goodbye. After 15 years on BBC Breakfast,

:23:37.:23:41.

Bill Turnbull finally gave up the four AM alarm calls. Now the day has

:23:42.:23:46.

come for you to sort that sofa for a bed in the long-awaited my ins. We

:23:47.:23:51.

said goodbye to tell. Do you see the love and affection he has?

:23:52.:23:59.

Beautiful. All change, all over. So much of it so surprising. There will

:24:00.:24:05.

be a new president and it could be Donald Trump. I believe that won't

:24:06.:24:19.

reveal itself. It really has been a year of surprises, and who could

:24:20.:24:25.

have predicted this? Describe yourself in one word. Awesome.

:24:26.:24:32.

Awesome. Awesome. BBC Breakfast thrilled in a glittering gold rush

:24:33.:24:37.

of a summer. 52 models. Do you shove the bronze in the top job? Where

:24:38.:24:45.

will you put all of the gold? Just a few have popped over to see Sally.

:24:46.:24:51.

She has some new friends. Fresh from Rio, there was one place our

:24:52.:24:56.

medallists chose to come. Go for it. Is that Max Whitlock on the pole

:24:57.:25:02.

vault outside my office? It is really him! I can touch him, he is

:25:03.:25:09.

real. Describe yourself in one word. Determined! Kadeena Cox and Gordon

:25:10.:25:20.

Reid. I can't leave you out. From Olympic champions... To read so the

:25:21.:25:31.

champions. Naga shone on Strictly. Louise was nearly the Masterchef.

:25:32.:25:35.

The trophy you didn't quite win. So close. And as for Ore... But the

:25:36.:25:46.

real star of BBC Breakfast has always been you, and in 2016, so

:25:47.:25:51.

many of you have inspired us. Running for me has been something

:25:52.:25:56.

that I have used to help combat mental illness that I suffered

:25:57.:26:00.

throughout my 20s. Four years ago, I could not even run for a bus. We

:26:01.:26:06.

have done it. We are so proud of what we have done. What are you

:26:07.:26:13.

right now? Cattanach. -- cancer free. Again? Cancer free. How does

:26:14.:26:24.

it feel? As stories are due to get that check, make that change. I

:26:25.:26:28.

would say to the boys and girls, to never give out. 2016 was not all

:26:29.:26:34.

bad. And we have helped deliver some of the best bits. There she was,

:26:35.:26:40.

just presenting Harper Lee. And then she decided to have an event later

:26:41.:26:46.

on. -- Papley. We have also delivered some of the West. We will

:26:47.:26:51.

be joined by Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, talking about plans

:26:52.:26:54.

for a second referendum on independence. We have clearly run

:26:55.:26:58.

the wrong pictures over that particular sequence. We have not

:26:59.:27:03.

always got it right. I will get it wrong now. Yes, but no, but. And you

:27:04.:27:12.

have been happy to tell us where we got wrong. I'm so sorry. Lots of

:27:13.:27:19.

people have been commenting on this lovely dress. Some people said it

:27:20.:27:25.

was rhubarb custard. Some people have suggested you are wearing the

:27:26.:27:31.

Lothian away kit today. I have been getting grief today about this nice

:27:32.:27:37.

bit of whistle. But most of you choose to watch us over your cereal

:27:38.:27:40.

than any other breakfast you. -- show. And for that, the BBC

:27:41.:27:46.

Breakfast family would like to say thank you. Thank you! I say happy

:27:47.:27:48.

New Year. LAUGHTER

:27:49.:27:56.

Just watching Jessica Ennis-Hill during the hulahooping, now she is

:27:57.:28:04.

dying Jessica Ennis-Hill. How many have done hulahooping live on

:28:05.:28:10.

television? -- Dame. We will have more on the honours late on. And we

:28:11.:28:15.

will have the headlines next. Stay with us.

:28:16.:28:49.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Steph

:28:50.:28:51.

Coming up in just a few minutes, Kat will have your sports round up.

:28:52.:28:55.

But first at 6:30, a summary of this morning's main news.

:28:56.:28:58.

More than 100 of Britain's Olympic and Paralympic stars have been

:28:59.:29:01.

recognised in the New Year Honours list, with knighthoods

:29:02.:29:04.

The tennis world number one has capped off a year which saw him

:29:05.:29:10.

win Wimbledon, and Olympic gold, for a second time.

:29:11.:29:12.

Katherine Grainger, Britain's most decorated female Olympian,

:29:13.:29:14.

has become a Dame, as has heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill.

:29:15.:29:17.

There's also a knighthood for the gold medal-winning

:29:18.:29:19.

The honours also include many famous names from

:29:20.:29:29.

Patricia Routledge, who played Hyacinth Bucket

:29:30.:29:32.

in "Keeping up Appearances", is made a Dame.

:29:33.:29:34.

And Ken Dodd, the veteran comedian famous for his tickle stick,

:29:35.:29:37.

There are also knighthoods for Ray Davies from the Kinks,

:29:38.:29:40.

There's a warning that heavy fog could cause further

:29:41.:29:49.

Yesterday the UK's biggest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick cancelled more

:29:50.:29:52.

the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning

:29:53.:30:05.

across the South and south-east, as a blanket of fog is set to make

:30:06.:30:09.

driving conditions "difficult" and lead to yet more

:30:10.:30:11.

Around 3,000 police officers will be on duty across central London

:30:12.:30:16.

tonight as crowds gather to celebrate the new year.

:30:17.:30:18.

Scotland Yard says extra resources have been brought

:30:19.:30:20.

in to keep people safe following the terror attacks

:30:21.:30:23.

in Berlin and Nice earlier this year.

:30:24.:30:25.

Greater Manchester Police and other forces say they've also stepped up

:30:26.:30:28.

40% of councils in England have no procedures in place to prosecute

:30:29.:30:42.

people who misuse disabled parking permits.

:30:43.:30:43.

New analysis of official figures found blue badges could be

:30:44.:30:46.

used fraudulently without fear of being fined in 61 local authorities.

:30:47.:30:49.

The finding has been described as "staggering"

:30:50.:30:51.

Those are the main stories this morning.

:30:52.:30:55.

We have been talking about the sporting champions who have a new

:30:56.:31:12.

years now. Really end. Whatever else has been going on, at the Euros as

:31:13.:31:14.

well. Hull City are off the bottom

:31:15.:31:14.

of the Premier League but they missed out on a first

:31:15.:31:17.

league win in nearly two months after a late Everton

:31:18.:31:20.

equaliser at the K-com. The Tigers went ahead

:31:21.:31:23.

but were pegged back then Robert Snodgrass scored this

brilliant free kick in the They couldn't hang

:31:26.:31:28.

on for victory though, Ross Barkley nodded

:31:29.:31:30.

in the Everton equaliser late on. I'm really pleased because over the

:31:31.:31:43.

past four weeks, we put in a shift and got nothing and today we got one

:31:44.:31:48.

point. We could be greedy and ask for more but I'm proud of the

:31:49.:31:50.

players for their efforts. The Old Firm derby between Rangers

:31:51.:31:51.

and Celtic takes place in the Scottish Premiership this

Andy Murray has been knighted He'll play in the third-place

playoff this morning after a surprise defeat yesterday

:32:39.:32:42.

to David Goffin in the semi-finals of the World Tennis

:32:43.:32:45.

Championship in Abu Dhabi. The world number one had won

:32:46.:32:47.

all five of his previous meetings with Goffin but lost

:32:48.:32:50.

the first set on a tie-break. Murray went 4-2 up in the second

:32:51.:32:53.

but Goffin fought back to win the set and take the match

:32:54.:32:57.

by two sets to love. Is great see Rafael Nadal back. It

:32:58.:33:16.

just goes to show how tough the composition is at the moment. You

:33:17.:33:22.

would think he was onto a surefire win. David Goffin has been

:33:23.:33:28.

relatively easy to beat previously this year.

:33:29.:33:29.

It's not surprising that so many athletes feature in this year's

:33:30.:33:32.

It's been such a successful year for British sport.

:33:33.:33:35.

Before we come back with the headlines at seven,

:33:36.:33:38.

let's have a look back at some of the incredible sporting moments

:33:39.:33:41.

Hello and welcome to Salford, the home of BBC Sport.

:33:42.:34:02.

With the Olympics, the Paralympics, football's European Championship,

:34:03.:34:04.

and a whole host of other major sporting events, 2016 was a year

:34:05.:34:07.

that began full of optimism, and it did not disappoint.

:34:08.:34:44.

2016 was a year of extraordinary sporting achievement -

:34:45.:34:46.

athletes striving to go faster, higher, stronger.

:34:47.:34:49.

If those were the aims then this was very much the reward -

:34:50.:34:52.

the heroes' parade of returning Paralympics and Olympians, many

:34:53.:34:56.

living up to the high expectations, so many surpassing it.

:34:57.:35:01.

There's only one place, really, we can start this review of 2016,

:35:02.:35:04.

and that is some 6000 miles away from murky Manchester -

:35:05.:35:07.

Rio, where this heroes' parade, really began.

:35:08.:35:15.

Brazil welcomes the world with open arms.

:35:16.:35:21.

But just who would be lining up beside them?

:35:22.:35:24.

After months of claims and revelations of widespread

:35:25.:35:26.

doping, Russia were at the Olympics - their track and

:35:27.:35:29.

But, as they say in sport, you can only beat what is in front of you.

:35:30.:35:38.

Team GB, at times, were beating everybody.

:35:39.:35:40.

Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold for Great Britain.

:35:41.:35:42.

In the pool, Britain's best games for over a century.

:35:43.:35:46.

Above the waves, around the bays, rowing in Rio was truly spectacular.

:35:47.:35:49.

And it is Great Britain who are men's Olympic champions.

:35:50.:35:52.

It is carnival time for Great Britain.

:35:53.:35:54.

History being written and then rewritten.

:35:55.:35:56.

These were tales of triumph, passion.

:35:57.:36:01.

All games need their superstars, Rio had plenty.

:36:02.:36:08.

Some catapulted themselves onto the biggest stage.

:36:09.:36:10.

For others, a final flourish before a fond farewell.

:36:11.:36:16.

There were those that arrived as superstars, leave as legends.

:36:17.:36:20.

Usain Bolt is going what he always does, it is gold again.

:36:21.:36:28.

Andy Murray is a double Olympic gold medallist.

:36:29.:36:35.

Some were doing what no Brit had done before.

:36:36.:36:39.

Some what no one had done, for a very long time.

:36:40.:36:50.

Justin Rose of Great Britain takes Olympic gold.

:36:51.:36:52.

Whilst others, well, they were just doing

:36:53.:36:54.

Mo Farah has gone, he is away, he is going to get gold

:36:55.:36:59.

But amidst such company even giving everything

:37:00.:37:07.

Great Britain have won the Olympic gold medal.

:37:08.:37:18.

Marvellous moments in the marvellous city, and that was before

:37:19.:37:20.

When they did, those special moments just kept on coming.

:37:21.:37:27.

147 medals for Para GB, 64 of them glittering gold.

:37:28.:37:29.

Again and again expectations met, and then exceeded.

:37:30.:37:31.

You can see a detailed review of all the Rio games

:37:32.:37:35.

on the BBC News Channel over the festive period.

:37:36.:37:40.

So many extraordinary achievements on which to look back and enjoy.

:37:41.:37:45.

Few people could have predicted the scale of the success

:37:46.:37:53.

for Great Britain in Rio, but then perhaps 2016 was the year

:37:54.:37:57.

And there were no bigger shocks anywhere than in the Premier League.

:37:58.:38:09.

In the beginning I felt something special, but of course

:38:10.:38:12.

There were no odds I would have taken at the start of the season.

:38:13.:38:26.

10 million to one, I would have thought, "No,

:38:27.:38:30.

The more that the games passed, we started to

:38:31.:38:36.

COMMENTATOR: The title has gone for Tottenham.

:38:37.:38:52.

Claudio Ranieri wins the Premier League, Leicester City

:38:53.:38:54.

Seeing my team do this it has been amazing.

:38:55.:39:07.

This is a team of players where they have been

:39:08.:39:24.

plucked from other clubs, free transfers, it is just the most

:39:25.:39:27.

incredible achievement, I believe, in British sport.

:39:28.:39:30.

I think it is genuinely the biggest sporting shock in...

:39:31.:39:34.

I cannot think of anything that surpasses it in terms of the team.

:39:35.:39:39.

And if it means I have to wear my pants during Match Of The Day,

:39:40.:39:43.

Leicester repeating that incredible season was always a lot to ask

:39:44.:40:00.

but they did continue their amazing journey into the Champions League.

:40:01.:40:03.

There were hopes of another upset in the FA Cup.

:40:04.:40:05.

Crystal Palace ahead, but their joy would not last.

:40:06.:40:11.

A rare moment of triumph for Louis Van Gaal's

:40:12.:40:22.

side as his reign came to a rather inevitable end.

:40:23.:40:26.

The League Cup went to Manchester also, City defeating

:40:27.:40:32.

Liverpool on penalties, the Reds were also defeated

:40:33.:40:34.

Manchester clubs dominated the domestic cup competitions,

:40:35.:40:37.

the women also did their bit - Manchester City winning

:40:38.:40:40.

the Continental Cup and the Woman's Super League One.

:40:41.:40:43.

A more established name on the FA Cup.

:40:44.:40:45.

Arsenal Ladies winning for a 14th time in front of a record crowd.

:40:46.:40:48.

In Scotland, Celtic were champions again with Glasgow City dominant

:40:49.:40:51.

in the women's game, and at Hampden Park, their 114 year

:40:52.:40:54.

wait for a Scottish Cup ended for Hibernian.

:40:55.:40:56.

It's been a long wait, too, for Ross County.

:40:57.:41:00.

The League Cup was their first major trophy.

:41:01.:41:04.

They were allowed to keep it for just eight months.

:41:05.:41:07.

Celtic now champions as the cup was awarded

:41:08.:41:10.

But for Scottish football fans the domestic

:41:11.:41:16.

But for the other home nations, well, plenty of tales to tell

:41:17.:41:20.

With Wales, Northern Ireland, and England all making it

:41:21.:41:24.

to the European Championship in France, hopes were high

:41:25.:41:26.

But at times those memories were threatened with being tarnished,

:41:27.:41:35.

violence on the streets involving England fans a worrying reminder

:41:36.:41:38.

On the pitch, disappointingly, it was the same story.

:41:39.:41:53.

A late Russian equaliser in Marseille set the tone

:41:54.:41:55.

A horrible, horrible end to the night.

:41:56.:41:58.

But whilst they were underachieving, Northern Ireland and Wales, well,

:41:59.:42:01.

they were far exceeding expectations.

:42:02.:42:02.

For both, it was a first European Championship.

:42:03.:42:05.

Even a late, late defeat against England could not

:42:06.:42:18.

A rare high note for England, but it was Wales who

:42:19.:42:22.

Ramsey, on side, Aaron Ramsey with a dink, and Wales have the lead!

:42:23.:42:33.

Ramsey, weaving it through to Bale, he is onside, surely this time...

:42:34.:42:36.

In Paris they would meet Northern Ireland.

:42:37.:42:45.

What a moment for everybody involved.

:42:46.:42:49.

Only one team could progress, a heartbreaking end

:42:50.:42:51.

for Michael O'Neill's side, in particular for Gareth McAuley.

:42:52.:42:56.

Another Welsh win, and they go to the quarterfinals.

:42:57.:43:06.

With the Northern Ireland tournament over, they left with plenty

:43:07.:43:09.

If only the same could be said for England.

:43:10.:43:13.

Ahead against one of the tournament's big surprises,

:43:14.:43:15.

Iceland have turned it round to lead.

:43:16.:43:20.

Defeat was as humbling and humiliating as anything

:43:21.:43:23.

There is disbelief right around the ground.

:43:24.:43:28.

From England fans, and Iceland supporters.

:43:29.:43:33.

The England manager, Roy Hodgson, has resigned

:43:34.:43:35.

Now is the time for somebody else to oversee the progress

:43:36.:43:39.

of this young, hungry, extremely talented group.

:43:40.:43:44.

So it was left to Wales to fly the flag for the home nations,

:43:45.:43:47.

a quarterfinal against Belgium, perhaps the most magnificent night

:43:48.:43:50.

Something special is happening here tonight.

:43:51.:44:06.

For most fans, even beyond their wildest dreams.

:44:07.:44:13.

Passion, determination and desire had carried them further

:44:14.:44:16.

than anybody thought possible, but even all that just

:44:17.:44:18.

It will be Portugal in Paris on Sunday.

:44:19.:44:23.

Welcome to the end of the month-long party.

:44:24.:44:29.

To upset that French party, Portugal took their time.

:44:30.:44:32.

But the wait for a first major tournament win was worth it.

:44:33.:44:44.

Back home, for Wales, hopes that this now might begin

:44:45.:45:00.

Wales came to the airport and I got my shoe and my book signed.

:45:01.:45:05.

Tonight at ten, a significant error of judgment means that

:45:06.:45:12.

Sam Allardyce is no longer the England football manager.

:45:13.:45:15.

He had been in the job for just two months.

:45:16.:45:17.

The FA has terminated his contract with immediate effect...

:45:18.:45:20.

So in came Gareth Southgate, the third manager in as many

:45:21.:45:23.

And as the Football Association continues to recover, above them,

:45:24.:45:32.

Fifa were trying to start afresh with Gianni Infantino the new man

:45:33.:45:35.

charged with rescuing the damaged reputation of the organisation.

:45:36.:45:46.

Danny Willett was not even supposed to be at the Masters,

:45:47.:45:50.

let alone win it, but the early arrival of his baby son

:45:51.:45:54.

His round finished, he watched on from the clubhouse

:45:55.:45:58.

A quick call to tell his new family that he would be bringing home

:45:59.:46:03.

The 2016 US Masters champion, Danny Willett.

:46:04.:46:12.

There was a first Major winner too at Troon in the Open,

:46:13.:46:16.

an astonishing final round from Henrik Stenson

:46:17.:46:17.

In the Women's British Open, Ariya Jutanugarn became the first

:46:18.:46:24.

Major champion from Thailand, in fact this was a year

:46:25.:46:27.

of maiden Major winners, Dustin Johnson taking the US Open

:46:28.:46:30.

All this made for one of the most eagerly anticipated

:46:31.:46:38.

Raucous, emotionally charged, as we have come to expect, but,

:46:39.:46:43.

for Europe, they could not quite live up to the expectation,

:46:44.:46:46.

2016 was full of success for sporting greats,

:46:47.:46:55.

but there's still only one who can lay claim to being The Greatest.

:46:56.:46:59.

And this was the year we said goodbye.

:47:00.:47:03.

In June, Muhammad Ali died at the age of 74.

:47:04.:47:06.

For British fighters, it has been some year.

:47:07.:47:15.

They now have a glittering array of world champions.

:47:16.:47:17.

But Tyson Fury is no longer amongst them -

:47:18.:47:20.

his battles outside the ring continue.

:47:21.:47:29.

In Formula One, Lewis Hamilton was the defending champion, with his

:47:30.:47:32.

The season began in Melbourne, and the Brit quickly realised

:47:33.:47:37.

retaining that crown would not be easy.

:47:38.:47:41.

Victory for team-mate Nico Rosberg, in the opening race,

:47:42.:47:43.

Hamilton second, the tone set for the season.

:47:44.:47:46.

By the time they reached Barcelona the lead of Rosberg was 43 points,

:47:47.:47:50.

on the track the two would be much closer.

:47:51.:47:52.

A crash on lap one opened the door for Max Verstappen, Formula One's

:47:53.:47:56.

At Silverstone Hamilton was out on his own, leading

:47:57.:48:01.

from start to finish, now just one point

:48:02.:48:03.

But in Malaysia, Hamilton's hopes appeared to go up in smoke.

:48:04.:48:09.

So down to the jewel in the desert in Abu Dhabi.

:48:10.:48:12.

Victory for Hamilton, but it was not enough

:48:13.:48:14.

to stop Nico Rosberg winning his first world title.

:48:15.:48:16.

It came just days before his shock retirement.

:48:17.:48:26.

The year in rugby union began as always with a bang

:48:27.:48:29.

in the Six Nations tournament, and whilst all teams

:48:30.:48:32.

had their moments, the story of success was built

:48:33.:48:34.

They had been a side in crisis, but a new coach, a new captain

:48:35.:48:41.

and suddenly they were looking like a new team and,

:48:42.:48:44.

in this tournament, nobody could compete.

:48:45.:48:48.

A glorious Grand Slam won on foreign shores but built in England.

:48:49.:50:07.

That was just the beginning, they had to go to the other side

:50:08.:50:11.

of the world to see just how far they had come.

:50:12.:50:14.

A 3-0 whitewash over Australia and again the rugby

:50:15.:50:16.

Fittingly, it was back at Twickenham against Austria that England

:50:17.:50:21.

They have beaten everybody put before them.

:50:22.:50:29.

In the Women's Six Nations, France were crowned champions.

:50:30.:50:33.

Whilst in the club game, Saracens were all conquering,

:50:34.:50:38.

Premiership and Champions Cup winners.

:50:39.:50:40.

Welcome to Wembley Stadium for one of the showpiece events

:50:41.:50:45.

In rugby league, 2016 was a year of history-making achievement

:50:46.:50:49.

Hull FC had famously never won at Wembley.

:50:50.:50:57.

Ahead, just, against Warrington, they managed to cling

:50:58.:50:59.

on as the Wolves agonisingly let it slip.

:51:00.:51:06.

Listen to the noise from the black-and-whites.

:51:07.:51:11.

Warrington did win the League Leaders Shield

:51:12.:51:13.

but when it really mattered, at the Grand Final,

:51:14.:51:15.

Wigan are the Super League champions.

:51:16.:51:25.

The Four Nations then wasan opportunity to test

:51:26.:51:27.

British rugby league against the game Down

:51:28.:51:30.

Under, for Scotland, the progress continues apace.

:51:31.:51:32.

A draw with New Zealand, their greatest ever result.

:51:33.:51:35.

Defeat to the Kiwis and then eventual winners Australia shows

:51:36.:51:39.

the northern hemisphere is still some way behind.

:51:40.:51:44.

England's hearts are being ripped out.

:51:45.:51:48.

For England's cricketers, an eventful year.

:51:49.:51:52.

An historic series win over South Africa, and then

:51:53.:51:54.

against Sri Lanka, captain Alastair Cook became the youngest

:51:55.:51:57.

Series against Pakistan, Bangladesh and India

:51:58.:52:06.

were rather less successful, but the real heartbreak

:52:07.:52:08.

came at the World T20, all the way to the final,

:52:09.:52:11.

Victory batted from their grasp, Carlos Brathwaite and the West

:52:12.:52:16.

Indies uncontrollable, Ben Stokes and England,

:52:17.:52:17.

It was a double for the West Indies as they claimed

:52:18.:52:24.

Drama only rivalled by the end of the County Championship season.

:52:25.:52:29.

Middlesex, winners, and one of the tightest finishes in years.

:52:30.:52:35.

So much of sport is about getting across the line first.

:52:36.:52:39.

33/1 shot Rule The World lived up to his name,

:52:40.:52:41.

On-board was teenager David Mullings, proving that even

:52:42.:52:47.

on its 169th running, this great race is still

:52:48.:52:49.

There are others for whom crossing that line first is now

:52:50.:52:56.

A third Tour de France title for Chris Froome.

:52:57.:53:00.

It feels amazing, I mean, it really could be the first

:53:01.:53:03.

It is a combination of months of hard work, of all my team-mates,

:53:04.:53:14.

all the support of the team, and what it symbolises,

:53:15.:53:17.

standing on this final podium, on the Champs Elysees here in Paris,

:53:18.:53:20.

It is monumental, such an amazing feeling.

:53:21.:53:23.

But being the first to cross the line is not always everything.

:53:24.:53:26.

Getting to the finish can be a triumph too.

:53:27.:53:29.

2016 was the year of the one millionth finisher of

:53:30.:53:31.

Just a little behind Jemima Sumgong and Eliud Kipchoge -

:53:32.:53:36.

who missed the world record by an agonising seven seconds.

:53:37.:53:40.

Getting to the end, just, was Johnny Brownlee.

:53:41.:53:44.

The heat of Cozumel taking its toll, even on one of sport's very best.

:53:45.:53:48.

Being helped toward the line by his brother, Alistair,

:53:49.:53:50.

Second-place, and second place overall in the world

:53:51.:53:56.

But there are some who won't mind being pipped to the line.

:53:57.:54:02.

Just 13 minutes after Leicester City won the Premier League,

:54:03.:54:05.

another of the city's sons, Mark Selby, became

:54:06.:54:07.

Even in this crowded year of sport, this corner of South West London

:54:08.:54:20.

remains centre stage, for two summer weeks at least.

:54:21.:54:25.

A history is rich in glory and triumph.

:54:26.:54:28.

Still, for the British, Wimbledon had remained, for so long,

:54:29.:54:30.

More recently, and in 2016 in particular, there

:54:31.:54:36.

The crowds always come, and now with a little

:54:37.:54:43.

added expectation to go with all that hope.

:54:44.:54:47.

Having lost the Australian and French Open finals,

:54:48.:54:51.

Andy Murray was again the flag bearer for British tennis, but these

:54:52.:54:55.

Liam Brodie on the other side of the net, in the all-British

:54:56.:55:00.

battle the round one, the signs as encouraging

:55:01.:55:02.

And it is a welcome back to SW 19 for Andy Murray, straight sets.

:55:03.:55:14.

For Murray there would be tougher tie ahead, not in round two.

:55:15.:55:17.

For a moment, Yen-hsun Lu looked like causing trouble,

:55:18.:55:19.

John Millman floored in straight sets, Murray,

:55:20.:55:25.

through to week two, but something far less familiar

:55:26.:55:27.

There will be no Novak Djokovic in week two at Wimbledon.

:55:28.:55:41.

There was now a chance for Andy Murray.

:55:42.:55:43.

Against Nick Kyrgios, that is exactly what he did.

:55:44.:55:49.

Ruthless, clinical, and he is a quarterfinalist yet again.

:55:50.:55:54.

But if he was making things look simple, a quarterfinal

:55:55.:55:57.

against Jo Wilfred Tsonga was anything but.

:55:58.:56:04.

Arms raised aloft, another triumph on Centre Court for Andy Murray.

:56:05.:56:09.

As it turned out, it was Murray's biggest test.

:56:10.:56:14.

Tomas Berdych in the semifinal proved little obstacle.

:56:15.:56:18.

Murray in straight sets, a demolition job, really.

:56:19.:56:23.

That is Sunday afternoon taken care of.

:56:24.:56:26.

The men's singles final is between Milos Raonic of Canada

:56:27.:56:29.

Wimbledon champion again, a supreme performance,

:56:30.:56:43.

For the women's trophy, another familiar name.

:56:44.:56:53.

The Wimbledon champion, Serena Williams.

:56:54.:56:56.

A 22nd grand slam title, equalling the record of Steffi Graf.

:56:57.:57:03.

But this year at Wimbledon had a very British feel.

:57:04.:57:05.

Jordanne Whiley, a wheelchair doubles champion.

:57:06.:57:11.

And as for Gordon Reid, he was peerless - winning

:57:12.:57:14.

the wheelchair doubles with Alfie Hewitt before going it

:57:15.:57:16.

And it was a story that would just get better.

:57:17.:57:35.

Good luck, Andy, you have always been our number one.

:57:36.:57:37.

Big good luck for tonight, I hope you smash it.

:57:38.:57:44.

You are world number one and you should stay.

:57:45.:57:49.

Wimbledon and Olympic champion Andy Murray,

:57:50.:58:07.

finishing the year ranked as the best in the world.

:58:08.:58:10.

His brother, Jamie, doubles world number one,

:58:11.:58:12.

with Gordon Reid also at the top and Johanna Konta in the top ten,

:58:13.:58:16.

it has been an incredible year for British tennis.

:58:17.:58:20.

And there was still one more piece of history to be made.

:58:21.:58:25.

Nobody had ever won the BBC Sports Personality

:58:26.:58:28.

Few have ever done more to deserve it than Andy Murray.

:58:29.:58:34.

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2016 is Andy Murray.

:58:35.:58:50.

It has been an amazing year for British sport and I am very

:58:51.:58:54.

Thank you, I hope you all have a great night.

:58:55.:59:00.

So a truly deserving winner after quite an extraordinary year.

:59:01.:59:04.

With the World Athletics Championships, the Women's European

:59:05.:59:10.

Championships in football, a Rugby League World Cup

:59:11.:59:12.

and the Ashes, there's plenty to look forward to.

:59:13.:59:14.

In sport away from the New Year's Honours,

:01:03.:01:05.

Hull City were denied their first league win for almost two months

:01:06.:01:08.

by Everton, they drew 2-2, but the point was enough to lift

:01:09.:01:11.

them off the bottom of the Premier League.

:01:12.:01:13.

Still fog around this morning particularly in southern areas but

:01:14.:01:25.

not as bad as yesterday. I will have details on that and the conditions

:01:26.:01:29.

as we finish this year and head-on to next. See you in 15 minutes.

:01:30.:01:31.

Our correspondent Andy Swiss has the details.

:01:45.:01:53.

At the end of a glittering year for British sport,

:01:54.:01:56.

for five of its greatest stars, the greatest of honours.

:01:57.:01:59.

First, a knighthood for the man who spent 2016 scaling

:02:00.:02:02.

COMMENTATOR: Wimbledon champion again, a supreme performance.

:02:03.:02:09.

After winning a second Wimbledon, a second Olympics and the world

:02:10.:02:12.

number one spot, it's now Sir Andy Murray,

:02:13.:02:16.

a fitting finish to a remarkable season.

:02:17.:02:20.

There's also a new title for Mo Farah's collection.

:02:21.:02:22.

He described his knighthood as a dream come true.

:02:23.:02:31.

Having come to Britain as an eight-year-old from Somalia,

:02:32.:02:34.

he added, he could never have imagined it.

:02:35.:02:37.

Another athletics star, meanwhile, becomes a dame.

:02:38.:02:38.

London 2012 heptathlon champion, Jessica Ennis-Hill,

:02:39.:02:41.

There's also a damehood for rower Katherine Grainger.

:02:42.:02:47.

After five medals at five consecutive Olympics,

:02:48.:02:49.

It's not something I ever thought I would get but what a great time

:02:50.:02:57.

It's the end of a 20-year career for me in competing for my country,

:02:58.:03:02.

and it's a lovely way to bring the curtain down.

:03:03.:03:06.

And there's a knighthood for one of Britain's top Paralympians.

:03:07.:03:09.

Dressage rider Lee Pearson won his 11th gold medal in Rio.

CBEs for cyclists Jason and Laura Kenney, while hockey

Chris Coleman becomes an OBE, and his Northern Ireland counterpart

:03:40.:03:42.

Just a few of more than 100 sporting figures honoured

:03:43.:03:45.

Stars of the stage and screen, including Ken Dodd and Patricia

:03:46.:03:51.

Routledge, have also been included in the New Year's Honours list.

:03:52.:03:54.

They're among more than 1,000 people to have been recognised,

:03:55.:03:57.

as our Entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba reports.

:03:58.:03:59.

He's been one of Britain's favourite entertainers for more

:04:00.:04:04.

now Ken Dodd has received a knighthood.

:04:05.:04:09.

The best day ever, you can't get better than this.

:04:10.:04:12.

I've played lots of big theatres, I've worked abroad, but this is it.

:04:13.:04:16.

Actress Patricia Routledge, she's been made a Dame.

:04:17.:04:31.

# You got me so I don't know what I'm doing...#

Designer Victoria Beckham becomes an OBE.

:04:55.:05:05.

The Hillsborough Independent Panel was chaired by the former Bishop

:05:06.:05:07.

Obviously great pride, but mixed with sadness

:05:08.:05:14.

because of that enduring sadness of the families who have continued

:05:15.:05:17.

to feel the loss of their loved ones.

:05:18.:05:26.

He is one of hundreds being recognised for their contribution

:05:27.:05:29.

There's a warning that heavy fog could cause further

:05:30.:05:47.

Yesterday the UK's biggest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick cancelled

:05:48.:05:50.

The Met Office says driving conditions will be difficult in many

:05:51.:05:55.

areas of central, eastern and south-east England.

:05:56.:05:57.

Our reporter Simon Jones is at Heathrow Airport this morning.

:05:58.:06:03.

Are we expecting more delays? Since I last spoke to you one hour ago,

:06:04.:06:11.

the fog has become the car. The departures make for grim reading --

problems on the roads. Foggy conditions mean that in places

:06:55.:06:58.

visibility can be reduced to around 100 metres. The advice is don't

:10:25.:10:26.

and anyone with a gun licence already can add air weapons

:10:27.:10:30.

But thousands of air gun owners have missed the deadline of October 31

:10:31.:10:37.

Anyone who applied for a certificate before October 31 is OK

:10:38.:10:41.

Unfortunately, those who applied after that will have to wait

:10:42.:10:46.

They will have to make alternative arrangements for the safe storage

:10:47.:10:54.

Registered gun dealers like this one in Inverness are providing a safe

:10:55.:11:07.

house for air weapons whose owners want to keep them

:11:08.:11:10.

but won't be licensed by Sunday morning.

:11:11.:11:12.

Many of those in the gun trade think the clampdown

:11:13.:11:15.

is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

:11:16.:11:17.

Shooting people at high rise flats is illegal.

:11:18.:11:19.

You're not allowed to do that, you never were.

:11:20.:11:21.

This legislation is a piece of tokenism which will achieve nothing.

:11:22.:11:25.

The people who will misuse air rifle are not the type of people

:11:26.:11:28.

who are going to go to the trouble of licensing their weapons anyway.

:11:29.:11:32.

But backers of the new laws say air weapons are involved in half

:11:33.:11:35.

of all gun crime in Scotland and with an estimated 500,000

:11:36.:11:38.

of them in Scotland, tightening the legislation is justified.

:11:39.:11:41.

Thousands of airguns have already been handed in to police

:11:42.:11:44.

The New Years honours list recognises some of the biggest names

:11:45.:12:02.

But, of the 1,197 people who've been awarded medals,

:12:03.:12:06.

three-quarters of them are being recognised for their work

:12:07.:12:08.

One of those is the mental health campaigner Jonny Benjamin.

:12:09.:12:12.

He's been made an MBE, and he joins us from our London newsroom.

:12:13.:12:19.

Thank you for talking to us this morning. First of all, I do know how

:12:20.:12:25.

many people have said it so far but congratulations. Thank you, I

:12:26.:12:29.

appreciate it. Have you had much reaction from friends and family

:12:30.:12:32.

yet? Killam it is been astonishing. It hasn't sunk in yet. -- it has

:12:33.:12:37.

been astonishing. Added the wheel until I get to the palace and

:12:38.:12:42.

receive the awards. It doesn't feel real. --I don't think it will.

:12:43.:12:48.

Remind us of your story. It goes back a few years when you were at a

:12:49.:12:53.

low point? It was nine years ago at this current point and I was unwell,

:12:54.:13:00.

I had just been diagnosed with a form of schizophrenia. I had given

:13:01.:13:07.

up and went to a bridge to take my own life. A passerby stopped me and

:13:08.:13:12.

talk me out of it. He gave me words of hope and encouragement. We went

:13:13.:13:18.

our separate ways and I began to recover eventually and six years on

:13:19.:13:22.

I launched a campaign to find him which went viral and we were

:13:23.:13:27.

reignited two weeks into the campaign which was extraordinary.

:13:28.:13:31.

Since then, I've been doing lots of campaigning work in schools,

:13:32.:13:38.

prisons, hospitals, businesses to talk about suicide and mental

:13:39.:13:44.

health. We were taught more about the campaign at the moment but you

:13:45.:13:52.

are running in the marathon? You're running partner is the man who spoke

:13:53.:13:56.

you on that day. It is extraordinary when I think about it. Yes, we are

:13:57.:14:00.

running together. We are running for Heads Together which is the charity

:14:01.:14:05.

that Prince William and Kate Middleton set up. We haven't started

:14:06.:14:12.

training at. I probably shouldn't say that... We have a big challenge

:14:13.:14:17.

ahead of us. A few months of hard work coming up. People will be

:14:18.:14:22.

interested in your story because he had a very difficult time in your

:14:23.:14:26.

life and what you chose to do was start to try and help other people.

:14:27.:14:30.

When other people might have thought of just looking after themselves,

:14:31.:14:33.

why did you go down that path? I suffered in silence for so many

:14:34.:14:38.

years, throughout my teenage years and into my early 20s. I suffered in

:14:39.:14:47.

complete silence. It's torture. Whether you have any type of

:14:48.:14:51.

illness, physical or mental but to go through it in silence and to

:14:52.:14:57.

isolate yourself, it adds to the impact of the illness. I just want

:14:58.:15:01.

to get rid of that stigma and the fear that is attached to mental

:15:02.:15:04.

health. That's why I've been doing all the work.

:15:05.:15:08.

Particularly working with young people. I'm desperate to get mental

:15:09.:15:15.

health into the education system. 75% of all mental health begins in

:15:16.:15:19.

adolescence and I know if people had come into my school, things might

:15:20.:15:24.

have been different. I want to stop other young people from going down

:15:25.:15:28.

the road I did. Suicide is now the biggest killer of young people in

:15:29.:15:32.

this country under 35. I desperately want to do more to reduce that.

:15:33.:15:38.

Those figures are shocking. Do you think the climate is changing. The

:15:39.:15:46.

fillets getting easier, better, people are more prepared to talk

:15:47.:15:50.

openly? -- do you feel. People are being more open. People are doing

:15:51.:15:54.

amazing things out there, trying to raise awareness and reduce stigma

:15:55.:16:02.

but until there is a parity of things between mental and physical

:16:03.:16:08.

health, particularly in the NHS, there is still not the parity that

:16:09.:16:11.

the government promised. People have been waiting three years mental

:16:12.:16:14.

health treatment which is unacceptable. Until mental health is

:16:15.:16:25.

treated the same as physical health, it won't change. We wish you all the

:16:26.:16:29.

best with your quest for marathons successful stop you might get a few

:16:30.:16:35.

tips from Sir Mo Farah. Congratulations.

:16:36.:16:41.

Thank you. What an amazing lead, and making such a difference.

:16:42.:16:53.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:16:54.:16:54.

Andy Murray and Mo Farah have been recognised with knighthoods,

:16:55.:16:58.

while Jessica Ennis-Hill and Katherine Grainger become Dames

:16:59.:17:01.

Thousands of travellers face disruption this morning

:17:02.:17:04.

as freezing fog in parts of England leads to flights being cancelled,

:17:05.:17:07.

We mentioned weather causing travel disruptions, and to match can tell

:17:08.:17:18.

us how it will pan out over the next couple of days. That is not the most

:17:19.:17:23.

optimistic picture. It is not as bad as it has been over the last couple

:17:24.:17:28.

of days. There will be some fog patches around. It is most dense

:17:29.:17:33.

towards the south-east of England. Not as bad as recent days. It was

:17:34.:17:38.

though they moved into low cloud. It will impact the roads and airports

:17:39.:17:42.

do the coming hours. Be aware if you are heading out. You can see the Fog

:17:43.:17:48.

showing up here. Low cloud elsewhere across parts of central and southern

:17:49.:17:53.

England. Breaks in the cloud for Wales and the east of northern

:17:54.:17:58.

England. Morning sunshine. Brighter spells to the east and brightness

:17:59.:18:01.

across the east of Scotland. In the north-west, a risk of flooding. Lots

:18:02.:18:07.

of rain. Over 100 millimetres of rain in the past 24 hours in the

:18:08.:18:12.

Highlands. Rain for much of the day but it will eventually shift with

:18:13.:18:15.

gusty winds into Northern Ireland and the south of Scotland by the

:18:16.:18:19.

time we enter the afternoon. Most will be dry. The best brighter skies

:18:20.:18:24.

for Eastern Wales and England with sunshine. Temperatures up to 12

:18:25.:18:28.

degrees in one or two struggling at around five or six. It is New Year's

:18:29.:18:35.

it. Hogmanay, what weather can we expect? If you are heading out early

:18:36.:18:38.

across Scotland and Northern Ireland, you will need a rain jacket

:18:39.:18:43.

for the evening. That will clear by midnight. It will feel cold with

:18:44.:18:49.

showers. Further south, ring into northern England by the time we get

:18:50.:18:52.

to midnight. It will turn increasingly wet. Drizzle across

:18:53.:18:57.

other parts of western England and Wales, but most will be dry. Across

:18:58.:19:02.

the southern half of the UK, compared to recent days,

:19:03.:19:04.

comparatively mild. The coldest conditions as we keep midnight will

:19:05.:19:09.

be across Scotland and Northern Ireland, not helped by a strong cold

:19:10.:19:13.

wind. It will make itself known as we started us on 17. Especially for

:19:14.:19:18.

the northern half of the country. The weather front will take a long

:19:19.:19:23.

time to clear away -- started 2017. Rain on and off with a bit of sweet

:19:24.:19:29.

mixed in on the hills. For the northern half of the country, one or

:19:30.:19:34.

two wintry showers, and that nicely for Monday and Tuesday. One or two

:19:35.:19:39.

wintry flurries. Mostly dry and sunshine by day, but the nights will

:19:40.:19:44.

be chilly with widespread frost. The nights will be chilly. I am

:19:45.:19:47.

impressed with the fireworks in graphics. For a moment, I thought

:19:48.:19:53.

what is that going on? Then I realised it is fireworks, we are all

:19:54.:19:57.

right. To celebrate the New Year! Thank you.

:19:58.:20:00.

The singer and actor Paul Robeson was a key figure in the American

:20:01.:20:03.

But what's not as well known is his solidarity

:20:04.:20:07.

One of his lesser known films, The Proud Valley, has now been

:20:08.:20:11.

remastered by the British Film Institute, and is to be taken

:20:12.:20:14.

on tour as part of their season celebrating black actors.

:20:15.:20:17.

who enchanted a South Wales mining community, Paul Robeson's film

:20:18.:20:37.

The Proud Valley was a box office flop,

:20:38.:20:39.

but now it's being remastered and taken on tour.

:20:40.:20:43.

Ivor England is a former miner and trade union leader.

:20:44.:20:46.

The old man, I could remember him saying Robeson has got something.

:20:47.:20:53.

Not only a voice, but a way of speaking on behalf of his people,

:20:54.:20:57.

and that stayed with me for very many years.

:20:58.:21:01.

Mining has now largely disappeared from the valleys of South Wales,

:21:02.:21:04.

but that connection between the people of these

:21:05.:21:09.

communities and the son of a slave who became a lawyer,

:21:10.:21:12.

a civil rights activist and one of the most famous

:21:13.:21:15.

but Paul Robeson's connection to Wales dates back to the 1920s

:21:16.:21:27.

when he met a group of miners who walked from South Wales

:21:28.:21:31.

to London to draw attention to the hardship they endured.

:21:32.:21:35.

For the first time, he saw the miners' struggle was similar

:21:36.:21:38.

to his own struggle for civil rights.

:21:39.:21:41.

My warmest greetings to the people of my beloved Wales...

:21:42.:21:46.

In 1957, Robeson was banned from travelling.

:21:47.:21:49.

He addressed a group of miners from a secret studio.

:21:50.:21:53.

Thousands gathered to hear him sing at the Miners'

:21:54.:21:55.

It was quite stunning, quite electric that

:21:56.:22:03.

we heard his voice coming from this studio in New York.

:22:04.:22:09.

Paul Robeson was one of the few people who actually

:22:10.:22:12.

stood up to racism and the lynchings in the deep South and campaigned

:22:13.:22:16.

for peace and campaigned for colonial freedom.

:22:17.:22:21.

He had that same internationalist view that the South Wales miners

:22:22.:22:25.

It is that history that the British Film Institute is celebrating

:22:26.:22:32.

Paul Robeson was particularly proud of this film

:22:33.:22:39.

because it gave him an opportunity to express his socialist beliefs,

:22:40.:22:42.

and he could represent the Wales working class.

:22:43.:22:49.

In many of his films, he felt he could not do this

:22:50.:22:52.

through, because he was oppressed by the Hollywood system.

:22:53.:22:55.

An exhibition of Robeson's work will run at the BFI Southbank

:22:56.:22:58.

in London until the end of January, but perhaps it is in South Wales

:22:59.:23:02.

If you were watching yesterday, you may remember we brought you news

:23:03.:23:21.

of the 'leap second' - an extra moment of time

:23:22.:23:23.

which will be added to the final minute of 2016.

:23:24.:23:26.

It's fair to say we found the entire concept pretty baffling,

:23:27.:23:29.

so this morning we've brought in an actual

:23:30.:23:31.

bona fide scientist to set us straight.

:23:32.:23:35.

We'll chat to Professor Tim O'Brien in a moment, but first,

:23:36.:23:38.

here's our science correspondent, Rebecca Morelle.

:23:39.:23:44.

This New Year's if, you have a tiny bit longer to enjoy the

:23:45.:23:55.

celebrations. An extra second is being added to the world time. It is

:23:56.:23:59.

all because of a slight wobble in the Earth's rotation. Our planet

:24:00.:24:04.

speeds up and slows down as it spins. While a single rotation

:24:05.:24:09.

equates to one day, Sunday 's end up being a tiny fraction longer or

:24:10.:24:13.

shorter than others. And gradually the Earth's time drifts out of sync

:24:14.:24:18.

with our clocks. Right now, that difference has grown too large, so

:24:19.:24:22.

just before the clock struck midnight, an extra second is being

:24:23.:24:27.

added to bring everything back into place. They have been calls to

:24:28.:24:35.

abolish the extra seconds. Communications networks, financial

:24:36.:24:39.

markets and computer software all rely on extremely precise

:24:40.:24:43.

timekeeping. Some say but having to reprogram an extra second puts them

:24:44.:24:47.

at risk. Others warned that without leap seconds, over thousands of

:24:48.:24:52.

years, the's time and our clocks will grow more and more offkilter,

:24:53.:24:56.

so much so that one day you watch might say it is midnight as the sun

:24:57.:24:58.

is starting to rise. Fascinating. With us is professor

:24:59.:25:14.

Tim O'Brien, and associate director. And a president for popular

:25:15.:25:17.

astronomy. You should know what you are talking about. From what Rebecca

:25:18.:25:23.

said they are, in the 1970s, this first started, and they have been 27

:25:24.:25:28.

times we have had an extra second added. Explain why it is so

:25:29.:25:32.

important. When you think about how long a day is, you might say it is

:25:33.:25:37.

24 hours long, but historically, we would have counted it by movement of

:25:38.:25:42.

the sun, from noon on to noon on the next day. The time it takes for the

:25:43.:25:47.

Earth to spin around once is just slightly longer than 24 hours. 24

:25:48.:25:53.

hours and to thousands of a second. So as time goes by, those 2/1000s of

:25:54.:26:03.

a second ad you end up being ahead of the time measured by the sun. We

:26:04.:26:10.

look at how far apart these are and try to keep it within one second of

:26:11.:26:15.

each other. We have to add these extra seconds every now and again.

:26:16.:26:18.

The Earth is going down in its rotation. Because of the tides, the

:26:19.:26:24.

Earth is gradually slowing down, so the days are gradually getting

:26:25.:26:28.

longer because of the tides. If you did not do it and it is a long time

:26:29.:26:33.

ahead, something like four or 5000 years, you would end up with 12 noon

:26:34.:26:38.

being at midnight in the middle of the night. It would be so offset.

:26:39.:26:48.

Over a long period of time. I got confused yesterday about when the

:26:49.:26:52.

extra second is. It is at the end of the day. . Is part of the state or

:26:53.:27:00.

tomorrow? It is an extra second added to the end. There are

:27:01.:27:07.

different ways of doing it. If you look at your digital clock and

:27:08.:27:10.

imagine it ticking towards midnight, it will go to 2359 and 59 seconds.

:27:11.:27:21.

Then it would go to 0000. We have to is putting an extra 62nd. -- 60

:27:22.:27:34.

second. So you have an extra second. In terms of computers, what are the

:27:35.:27:41.

implications? There has been a lot of debate. A lot of discussion about

:27:42.:27:46.

whether we should get rid of the week seconds altogether.

:27:47.:27:56.

Historically, thousands of years in the future, it is less if computers

:27:57.:28:00.

to handle. It is not impossible for them to do it. Lots of computer

:28:01.:28:04.

systems will be doing it today. The Google systems have slowed down

:28:05.:28:08.

clocks slightly all the way through the day, so rather than adding a

:28:09.:28:12.

second in one big lump at the end, they have gradually slowed things

:28:13.:28:17.

down. I love the fact that one second could be seen as a big lump.

:28:18.:28:22.

It is all important. You are right, especially when you get up this time

:28:23.:28:26.

of morning. And you will be with us later. I'm sure people will have

:28:27.:28:30.

questions. We will see you later. What will you do with your extra

:28:31.:28:34.

second tonight? I don't know. Could do anything! Another gin and tonic.

:28:35.:28:38.

danced under water and pommel-horsed with Max Whitlock.

:28:39.:28:51.

We'll bring you Mike Bushell's best bits from 2016.

:28:52.:28:58.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and

:28:59.:29:51.

Coming up in just a few minutes, Kat will have your

:29:52.:29:55.

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

:29:56.:29:58.

More than 100 of Britain's Olympic and Paralympic stars have been

:29:59.:30:01.

recognised in the New Year Honours list, with knighthoods

:30:02.:30:04.

The tennis world number one has capped off a year which saw him

:30:05.:30:09.

win Wimbledon, and Olympic gold, for a second time.

:30:10.:30:11.

Katherine Grainger, Britain's most decorated female Olympian,

:30:12.:30:13.

has become a Dame, as has heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill.

:30:14.:30:16.

There's also a knighthood for the gold medal-winning

:30:17.:30:18.

The honours also include many famous names from

:30:19.:30:28.

Patricia Routledge, who played Hyacinth Bucket

:30:29.:30:34.

in "Keeping up Appearances", is made a Dame.

:30:35.:30:36.

And Ken Dodd, the veteran comedian famous for his tickle stick,

:30:37.:30:39.

There are also knighthoods for Ray Davies from the Kinks,

:30:40.:30:44.

There's a warning that heavy fog could cause further

:30:45.:30:55.

Yesterday the UK's biggest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick cancelled more

:30:56.:30:58.

the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning

:30:59.:31:02.

across the South and south-east, as a blanket of fog is set to make

:31:03.:31:06.

driving conditions "difficult" and lead to yet more

:31:07.:31:08.

To bomb explosions in Iraq in Baghdad have been reported at a

:31:09.:31:29.

market. Nobody has admitted carrying out the attacks.

:31:30.:31:40.

Around 3,000 police officers will be on duty across central London

:31:41.:31:44.

tonight as crowds gather to celebrate the new year.

:31:45.:31:47.

Scotland Yard says extra resources have been brought

:31:48.:31:49.

in to keep people safe following the terror attacks

:31:50.:31:52.

in Berlin and Nice earlier this year.

:31:53.:31:53.

Greater Manchester Police and other forces say they've also stepped up

:31:54.:31:56.

Those are the main stories this morning.

:31:57.:32:02.

It feels as though this has been a sports programme. It has been top of

:32:03.:32:08.

the show with all the sports stars getting the honours in the new Year

:32:09.:32:12.

's honours list and then the review of the year, we look back on what

:32:13.:32:16.

was a great 2016 per sport. We know that for a number of us, 2016 has

:32:17.:32:21.

been one that we want to move on from that in sporting terms, it has

:32:22.:32:28.

been phenomenal. It is my job to techie through a skip of the action.

:32:29.:32:31.

-- take you. Hull City are off the bottom

:32:32.:32:32.

of the Premier League but they missed out on a first

:32:33.:32:35.

league win in nearly two months after a late Everton

:32:36.:32:38.

equaliser at the K-com. The Tigers went ahead

:32:39.:32:41.

but were pegged back then Robert Snodgrass scored this

:32:42.:32:43.

brilliant free kick in the They couldn't hang

:32:44.:32:46.

on for victory though, Ross Barkley nodded

:32:47.:32:48.

in the Everton equaliser late on. I'm really pleased because over

:32:49.:32:50.

the past 3-4 weeks, Today we put in a shift

:32:51.:32:54.

and got a point. We could be greedy and ask for more

:32:55.:32:59.

but I'm really proud of the players for their efforts and we have to go

:33:00.:33:03.

again in two, three days' time. He came backward from Argentina.

:33:04.:33:24.

Finally he came back after seven games. We are happy here is back. I

:33:25.:33:39.

hope that gave him the opportunity to have 3.5 weeks off. He can only

:33:40.:33:59.

score goals if people give him it. He can defend.

:34:00.:34:06.

The Old Firm derby between Rangers and Celtic takes place

:34:07.:34:09.

in the Scottish Premiership this lunchtime, meanwhile,

:34:10.:34:11.

The goal came from Jonny Hayes in the 66th minute.

:34:12.:34:15.

The third placed Dons are now six points ahead of Hearts,

:34:16.:34:18.

To rugby union, and George North will return for Northampton Saints

:34:19.:34:22.

in their Premiership match at Gloucester tomorrow.

:34:23.:34:24.

It will be the Welshman's first game since suffering a head injury

:34:25.:34:27.

against Leicester on December the third.

:34:28.:34:29.

That was North's fifth concussion in two years -

:34:30.:34:31.

including two in the match on your screen now between England

:34:32.:34:34.

A review board said North shouldn't have continued to play

:34:35.:34:38.

against Leicester but they didn't sanction Northampton.

:34:39.:34:40.

As we've been hearing Andy Murray has been knighted

:34:41.:34:43.

He'll play in the third-place playoff this morning

:34:44.:34:46.

after a surprise defeat yesterday to David Goffin in the semi-finals

:34:47.:34:50.

of the World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi.

:34:51.:34:52.

The world number one had won all five of his previous

:34:53.:34:55.

meetings with Goffin but lost the first set on a tie-break.

:34:56.:34:58.

Murray went 4-2 up in the second but Goffin fought back to win

:34:59.:35:01.

the set and take the match by two sets to love.

:35:02.:35:11.

And that is all the sport. There are no easy matches, as they say.

:35:12.:35:16.

We'll be back with the headlines at eight o'clock.

:35:17.:35:18.

Now, though,, let's have a look back at the biggest movie successes

:35:19.:35:21.

of 2016 - with a review of the year in film.

:35:22.:35:33.

Hello and welcome to this review of The Year In Film.

:35:34.:35:37.

I'm Mark Kermode, and we're here at the Cinema Museum in south

:35:38.:35:40.

London where, for the next half an hour, we will be

:35:41.:35:43.

looking back at some of the best movies released

:35:44.:35:45.

2016 was a pretty tumultuous year, what with the "Brexit" vote in June,

:35:46.:35:50.

and the results of the American election in November proving that

:35:51.:35:53.

In the world of politics, uncertainty can be alarming.

:35:54.:35:59.

When it comes to movies, it is the unexpected which really

:36:00.:36:02.

While the naysayers claim that movies today are just

:36:03.:36:14.

an endless slew of sequels, remakes and superhero franchise

:36:15.:36:16.

fodder, let's spend some time celebrating the films which offered

:36:17.:36:19.

something different, which prove that cinema today really

:36:20.:36:21.

2016 got off to a remarkable start with Room, Irish director

:36:22.:36:52.

Lenny Abrahamson's film about a mother and child inprisoned,

:36:53.:36:54.

adapted by screenwriter Emma Donoghue from her bestselling novel.

:36:55.:36:57.

Room opened in the UK in January to rave reviews,

:36:58.:36:59.

particularly for Brie Larson, who went on to win both the Bafta

:37:00.:37:03.

You're going to help me trick Old Nick.

:37:04.:37:09.

Old Nick is going to come and take you outside,

:37:10.:37:19.

and I'm going to be there in your head talking

:37:20.:37:22.

The Oscar for Best Picture went to Spotlight, a fact-based drama

:37:23.:37:40.

about the Boston Globe's coverage of a child abuse scandal

:37:41.:37:42.

But the Oscars themselves were mired with headline-grabbing controversy

:37:43.:37:46.

when the subject of racism in Hollywood and the Oscarssowhite

:37:47.:37:49.

Of the 20 Oscar nominees for Best Actor, Actress,

:37:50.:37:52.

Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress,

:37:53.:37:54.

Oh, and in the Best Director category, all the nominees

:37:55.:38:00.

It's a depressing state of affairs and the Academy have taken steps

:38:01.:38:04.

to ensure their membership becomes more diverse, but, despite such

:38:05.:38:07.

embarrassment, there was one area in which the Oscars got it right,

:38:08.:38:10.

and that was in the Foreign Language Film category.

:38:11.:38:13.

Having premiered in Cannes, back in 2015, Laszlo Nemes' searing

:38:14.:38:17.

holocaust drama Son of Saul took the Oscar for Foreign Language

:38:18.:38:20.

With Claude Lanzmann the filmmaker behind Shoah,

:38:21.:38:27.

declaring that this Hungarian masterpiece presented a very real

:38:28.:38:29.

sense of what it was like to be in the Sonderkommando.

:38:30.:38:32.

Son of Saul was a deserving Oscar winner, but nominated alongside it

:38:33.:38:50.

were some of the best films to open in UK cinemas in 2016.

:38:51.:38:53.

From director Ciro Guerra came Embrace of the Serpent,

:38:54.:38:55.

a monochrome mix of fact and fantasy, Western exploration

:38:56.:38:58.

and Amazonian myth that earned Colombia its first nomination

:38:59.:39:00.

From France, Mustang, a tale of Turkish sisters

:39:01.:39:14.

imprisoned in their home by a controlling uncle.

:39:15.:39:16.

Beautifully directed by Deniz Gamze Erguven,

:39:17.:39:18.

who coached vibrant performances from her ensemble cast,

:39:19.:39:20.

Mustang also benefited from a terrific score by Warren

:39:21.:39:23.

Ellis is one of modern cinema's most intriguing composers.

:39:24.:39:38.

alongside the likes of Johnny Greenwood and Clint Mansell,

:39:39.:39:41.

who did superb work on Ben Wheatley's adaptation of JG

:39:42.:39:44.

Ballard's dystopian novel, High-Rise, his woozy,

:39:45.:39:49.

sensuous score perfectly capturing the film's

:39:50.:39:51.

High-Rise opened in UK cinemas in March, where it went head-to-head

:39:52.:40:11.

with the Coen Brothers' splendid throwback Hollywood fantasy, Hail,

:40:12.:40:13.

Caesar!, one of the most delightfully silly films

:40:14.:40:16.

Why do you say it like that, why do you say "t'were"?

:40:17.:40:20.

Well, you said "say it like I say it."

:40:21.:40:22.

It's interminable, the word, I'm wondering when it will end,

:40:23.:40:27.

and we shouldn't be wondering, should we, we should be marching

:40:28.:40:30.

When April rolled around, nothing could touch The Jungle Book,

:40:31.:40:36.

Disney's reboot of its classic cartoon which became the real

:40:37.:40:39.

king of the swingers at the UK box office.

:40:40.:40:41.

Billed as a live action affair, The Jungle Book

:40:42.:40:44.

was in fact almost entirely CGI with the young star,

:40:45.:40:46.

Neel Sethi's Mowgli being one of the very few

:40:47.:40:49.

live-action elements in a movie which cast Idris Elba as a digital

:40:50.:40:52.

Shere Khan, Bill Murray as a lovable Baloo the bear,

:40:53.:40:55.

and Christopher Walken as a gigantic King Louie.

:40:56.:41:00.

Moving on to May, and Once director John Carney's Sing Street put

:41:01.:41:03.

a smile on my face and a spring in my step with its tale

:41:04.:41:07.

of a teenager's pop-tastic adventures in the mysterious world

:41:08.:41:10.

Meanwhile, over in France, the 69th Cannes Film Festival

:41:11.:41:28.

offered yet more reason for rejoicing as Ken Loach

:41:29.:41:31.

won his second Palme d'Or for the social realist drama I,

:41:32.:41:35.

Having previously claimed the top prize with The Wind

:41:36.:41:40.

That Shakes The Barley, Ken Loach, who turned 80 this year,

:41:41.:41:43.

won the judges over once again with his blistering tale

:41:44.:41:46.

of a Newcastle joiner recovering from a heart attack who finds

:41:47.:41:49.

himself on the wrong end of a bureaucratic benefit system.

:41:50.:42:00.

Superbly scripted by Paul Lafferty, with outstanding performances

:42:01.:42:02.

by Dave Johns and Hayley Squires, I, Daniel Blake is powerful

:42:03.:42:05.

No wonder both Johns and Squires were honoured

:42:06.:42:11.

with trophies at the recent British Independent Film Awards.

:42:12.:42:13.

What I gather now is the decision-maker,

:42:14.:42:15.

the decision-maker's gonna be sending you a letter

:42:16.:42:17.

My kids have to start school tomorrow, I've got

:42:18.:42:23.

All because you can't just calm down and listen to people when they talk,

:42:24.:42:28.

You know what, I've listened to you, you've created a scene.

:42:29.:42:33.

No mate, if I was going to create a scene, you'd know about it.

:42:34.:42:36.

Do you mind if this young lass signs on first?

:42:37.:42:44.

Now you can go back to your desk and let her sign on and do the job

:42:45.:42:49.

The Jury Prize at Cannes also went to a British film-maker,

:42:50.:42:54.

Andrea Arnold, whose first US-set feature, American Honey, went

:42:55.:42:56.

Centring on Sasha Lane's Texan teen who hits the road with a group

:42:57.:43:02.

of young magazine sellers, American Honey was shot by I,

:43:03.:43:05.

Daniel Blake's cinematographer, Robbie Ryan, who worked wonders

:43:06.:43:07.

with the square Academy ratio frame which is

:43:08.:43:09.

Remarkable, too, to see Transformers star Shia LaBeouf doing career-best

:43:10.:43:30.

work in a film which is the very antithesis of those

:43:31.:43:33.

bloated blockbuster movies, which made him a star.

:43:34.:43:37.

Of course, those blockbuster movies continue to thrive.

:43:38.:43:40.

The Transformers franchise was very much in evidence

:43:41.:43:42.

here in the autumn as they shot scenes

:43:43.:43:44.

for the forthcoming Transformers: The Last Night, which we can

:43:45.:43:47.

In the mean time, the summer of 2016 was dominated by the return

:43:48.:43:54.

of a forgetful fish, who made a whale-size

:43:55.:43:56.

splash at the box office despite her diminutive portions.

:43:57.:43:59.

Disney-Pixar's Finding Dory was one of a slew of animated features,

:44:00.:44:02.

which breathed life into UK cinemas in 2016.

:44:03.:44:10.

Everybody does it, nothing to be ashamed of.

:44:11.:44:14.

In June, we got the long-delayed release of the anime gem

:44:15.:44:17.

When Marnie Was There, Studio Ghibli's Japanese

:44:18.:44:20.

adaptation of Joan G Robinson's Norfolk-set novel.

:44:21.:44:21.

That mansion feels familiar, somehow.

:44:22.:44:30.

It's really best for you to stay away from that old Marsh House.

:44:31.:44:40.

Then there was Zootropolis, or Zootopia as it's known in the US,

:44:41.:44:45.

which is currently shaping up as a strong contender

:44:46.:44:47.

for the forthcoming Animated Feature Oscar.

:44:48.:44:49.

We need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.

:44:50.:45:01.

Other contenders include Kubo and the Two Strings,

:45:02.:45:04.

a sublime stop-motion animation from Paranorman

:45:05.:45:06.

Yes, he's very powerful, but he still has much to learn.

:45:07.:45:11.

And Moana, Disney's current cinema offering from the directors

:45:12.:45:26.

The real treat for me, however, was Makoto Shinkai's Your Name,

:45:27.:45:38.

a thrilling body swap anime which topped the Japanese box office

:45:39.:45:41.

charts for three months before wowing audiences here in the UK.

:45:42.:46:00.

While films like Finding Dory and Zootropolis delighted audiences

:46:01.:46:02.

and critics alike, some of the year's other blockbusters

:46:03.:46:05.

Take, for example, Zack Snyder's much-hyped Batman vs

:46:06.:46:11.

Superman: Dawn of Justice, which proved a solid box office hit

:46:12.:46:14.

when it opened here in March, despite almost universally negative

:46:15.:46:24.

who were variously accused of being corrupt, idiotic

:46:25.:46:28.

Now in fact, what the financial success of Batman vs Superman proved

:46:29.:46:35.

is that reviews have zero effect on box office.

:46:36.:46:40.

Audiences don't go to see films because critics

:46:41.:46:42.

love them or hate them, they go because they

:46:43.:46:45.

Take note, Alex Proyas, director of this year's

:46:46.:46:49.

copper-bottomed stinker Gods of Egypt, who took to social media

:46:50.:46:52.

to call critics "a pack of diseased vultures,

:46:53.:46:54.

pecking at the bones of a dying carcass",

:46:55.:46:58.

without realising that in doing so, he was effectively calling

:46:59.:47:01.

While Batman vs Superman caught its fair share of critical

:47:02.:47:09.

flak, other superheroes did better with the critics.

:47:10.:47:13.

Take Ryan Reynolds's Deadpool, Marvel's wisecracking self reflexive

:47:14.:47:16.

antihero who took the box office by storm and earned pretty decent

:47:17.:47:19.

Captain America: Civil War performed well too,

:47:20.:47:34.

In the autumn, Dr Strange offered up a winning

:47:35.:47:40.

mix of superhero antics and Ken Russell-style hallucinogenics.

:47:41.:47:44.

On the evidence of these movies, we are not going to see an end

:47:45.:48:07.

to big budget blockbuster comic book film franchises any time

:48:08.:48:09.

But it was at the other end of the financial spectrum,

:48:10.:48:13.

and indeed often on the other side of the Atlantic, that the really

:48:14.:48:17.

Encouragingly, 2016 saw the release of a number of low-budget home-made

:48:18.:48:23.

features which really put their more expensive counterparts to shame.

:48:24.:48:29.

Take, for example, Notes On Blindness, an electrifying

:48:30.:48:32.

adaptation of the memoirs of theologian John Hull,

:48:33.:48:34.

who made cassette recordings documenting his loss of sight

:48:35.:48:36.

and subsequent journey from darkness into light.

:48:37.:48:40.

Getting actors to lip sync to these recordings in a manner

:48:41.:48:43.

similar to that used by Clio Barnard for The Arbor, film-makers

:48:44.:48:46.

Peter Middleton and James Spinney created something really unique,

:48:47.:48:48.

a film which is informative, empathetic and deeply spiritual -

:48:49.:48:51.

one of the very best films of the year.

:48:52.:48:57.

The pictures in the gallery of my mind have dimmed somewhat.

:48:58.:49:03.

I could no longer remember easily what my wife looked

:49:04.:49:09.

like, or what my daughter, Imogen, looked like.

:49:10.:49:11.

Who had the right to deprive me of the sight

:49:12.:49:18.

Notes On Blindness was one of several home-made indie pics

:49:19.:49:24.

Other admirable oddities included Stephen Fingleton's stripped down

:49:25.:49:30.

Northern Ireland thriller The Survivalist, Joe

:49:31.:49:32.

Stevenson's Chicken, superbly shot by rising star

:49:33.:49:35.

and Jane Gull's My Feral Heart, with a brilliant central performance

:49:36.:49:42.

My favourite film of 2016 was the spine-chilling British

:49:43.:49:53.

production Under The Shadow, from Iran-born London-based

:49:54.:49:55.

The UK's entry for the Foreign Language Film Oscar,

:49:56.:50:09.

Under The Shadow, was set in Tehran, shot in Jordan and filmed in Farsi.

:50:10.:50:22.

There are nods to Roman Polansky and the Guilermo del Toro

:50:23.:50:25.

but Anvari's superbly creepy chiller conjures an atmosphere,

:50:26.:50:31.

With very strong performances by Narges Rashidi and Avin Manshadi

:50:32.:50:40.

as the mother and daughter terrorised by falling bombs,

:50:41.:50:42.

religious zealots and marauding djinn spirits,

:50:43.:50:49.

Under The Shadow is a film you simply must not miss,

:50:50.:50:52.

believe me, it will take your breath away.

:50:53.:51:10.

Films like Under The Shadow and Notes On Blindness

:51:11.:51:14.

found their audiences, thanks in large part to the efforts

:51:15.:51:17.

of the UK's still thriving independent cinema circuit,

:51:18.:51:19.

If you're lucky enough to have a local arthouse cinema,

:51:20.:51:25.

then make sure you make the most of it.

:51:26.:51:27.

Multiplexes are fine, up to a point, but without the independents

:51:28.:51:30.

we will end up with an endless string of movies which all look

:51:31.:51:34.

The 13th Amendment to the Constitution makes it

:51:35.:51:38.

unconstitutional for someone to be held as a slave.

:51:39.:51:43.

There are exceptions, including criminals.

:51:44.:51:47.

The loophole was immediately exploited...

:51:48.:51:51.

Of course, in the age of the internet, viewing

:51:52.:51:55.

habits are changing, with more and more people choosing

:51:56.:51:57.

This, in itself, is not a problem unless the film's online presence

:51:58.:52:03.

prevents people from seeing it in cinemas and that was kind

:52:04.:52:06.

of the case with the brilliant documentary 13th, by Ava Du Vernay,

:52:07.:52:10.

which provocatively teased out connections between the history

:52:11.:52:13.

of slavery and modern-day imprisonment in the US.

:52:14.:52:17.

It's powerful polemical fare and, for me, one of the real

:52:18.:52:20.

highlights of the year but having been funded by Netflix,

:52:21.:52:23.

13th was only allowed to play in one cinema in the UK,

:52:24.:52:29.

this, despite the fact that several independent cinemas were hammering

:52:30.:52:32.

In an ideal world, streaming services and cinemas

:52:33.:52:36.

would work hand-in-hand, not in competition.

:52:37.:52:44.

It became virtually impossible for a politician to run

:52:45.:52:49.

The kinds of kids that are called super predators.

:52:50.:52:53.

Millions of dollars will be designated for jail facilities.

:52:54.:53:01.

As the autumn rolled around, fans of science fiction welcomed

:53:02.:53:06.

the arrival of Arrival, the beautiful first-contact movie

:53:07.:53:09.

from French-Canadian director Denis Villeneuve,

:53:10.:53:10.

who made the great thriller, Sicario.

:53:11.:53:12.

Based on a story by Ted Chiang, Arrival starred

:53:13.:53:14.

Amy Adams as a linguist, recruited to help communicate

:53:15.:53:16.

with aliens, whose nature and purpose is unknown.

:53:17.:53:21.

A film of ideas rather than special effects,

:53:22.:53:33.

Arrival played in UK cinemas around the same time

:53:34.:53:35.

as Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals, which also starred

:53:36.:53:37.

Amy Adams, in a very different role, this time as an LA art dealer,

:53:38.:53:41.

Other outstanding female performances in films released

:53:42.:53:52.

in the UK in 2016 include Isabelle Huppert's wonderful work

:53:53.:54:00.

in Mia Hansen-Love's Things To Come, a drama

:54:01.:54:03.

about an academic, whose life is unexpectedly changed when her

:54:04.:54:05.

Then there was Pedro Almodovar's Julieta,

:54:06.:54:10.

sensibly adapted from the writings of Canadian author Alison Munro,

:54:11.:54:13.

with awards worthy performances from Emma Suarez and Adriana Ugarte,

:54:14.:54:19.

the younger and older incarnations of the eponymous character.

:54:20.:54:24.

For me, this was Almodovar's best work since Volver.

:54:25.:54:27.

I was also bowled over by Meryl Streep as the so-called

:54:28.:54:30.

Diva of Din in Stephen Frear's affectionate and funny

:54:31.:54:32.

Florence Foster Jenkins, a celebration of the life of the first

:54:33.:54:35.

Plaudits too to Kate Beckinsale, who was an acerbic delight

:54:36.:54:50.

in Whit Stillman's Love Friendship, perhaps

:54:51.:54:52.

the most perfect screen rendering of Jane Austen's

:54:53.:54:56.

I would never speak to a stranger like that.

:54:57.:55:11.

And, let's not forget, Kate Dickie, deeply disturbing

:55:12.:55:14.

in the ultra-creepy new England folktale The Witch.

:55:15.:55:17.

When it comes to leading men few were better than David Oyelowo

:55:18.:55:39.

in A United Kingdom, which opened the London Film

:55:40.:55:41.

Directed by Amma Asante, a female British director

:55:42.:55:44.

A United Kingdom broke several glass ceilings as it retold the story

:55:45.:55:55.

of a love affair between British girl Ruth Williams, played

:55:56.:55:58.

by Rosamund Pike and African king-in-waiting Seretse Khama.

:55:59.:56:00.

Having been overlooked for his sterling work in Selma,

:56:01.:56:02.

David Oyelowo would be top of my awards pack this year.

:56:03.:56:05.

We should not be fighting for segregation, we should be

:56:06.:56:08.

That is where we should be focusing our minds,

:56:09.:56:13.

who means you no harm, whose only apparent crime has been

:56:14.:56:18.

to fall in love with me, and mine to fall in love with her.

:56:19.:56:27.

I'd also like to include a shout out for Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan,

:56:28.:56:31.

who brilliantly handles the dual role of a superstar

and his obsessive devotee in the thriller, Fan.

:56:35.:56:37.

Taking inspiration from films like Martin Scorsese's King

:56:38.:56:39.

of Comedy, Fanis a roller-coaster ride, built on not one

:56:40.:56:42.

but two great performances by Shah Rukh Khan, no wonder

:56:43.:56:45.

he is one of the world's most popular movie stars.

:56:46.:56:48.

2016 was also the year we lost some great stars, from Gene Wilder,

:56:49.:57:00.

star of timeless classics like Blazing Saddles

:57:01.:57:01.

and Young Frankenstein, to Alan Rickman, who worked wonders

:57:02.:57:04.

both behind and in front of the camera, to David Bowie,

:57:05.:57:07.

whose Man Who Fell To Earth got a poignant

:57:08.:57:12.

Other significant re-issues include the 30th anniversary outing

:57:13.:57:18.

for David Lynch's Blue Velvet and a big-screen rerelease

:57:19.:57:20.

of In The Heat Of The Night as part of the BFI's Black Star season,

:57:21.:57:24.

celebrating the range, versatility and power of black actors.

:57:25.:57:29.

Perhaps the most remarkable return of 2016 was of Napoleon,

:57:30.:57:32.

Abel Gance's silent masterpiece from 1927, back on our screens

:57:33.:57:35.

with a magnificent score by Carl Davis.

:57:36.:57:42.

Seen in its most complete form, this reissue

:57:43.:57:44.

was the result of decades of research and restoration work,

:57:45.:57:47.

and what a glorious sight it was to see!

:57:48.:58:00.

As the end of the year rolled around, Star Wars is back

:58:01.:58:03.

in our cinemas in the shape of Rogue One, a stand-alone anthology

:58:04.:58:06.

instalment set shortly before the events of the 1977 original.

:58:07.:58:10.

Like its iconic predecessor, Rogue One relies heavily

:58:11.:58:12.

on British talent, from director Gareth Edwards to star

:58:13.:58:15.

Felicity Jones, to the army of technicians

:58:16.:58:20.

at Elstree Studios where much of the film is shot.

:58:21.:58:29.

Worth noting too that another of the year 's runaway hits,

:58:30.:58:35.

Bridget Jones's Baby, was also a home-grown success story,

:58:36.:58:38.

with Welsh director Sharon Maguire helming the third series instalment

:58:39.:58:41.

to record-breaking box office success.

And my love life is showing signs of improvement.

Everything is completely under control!

Whether you like your movies big or small, down-to-earth

:59:17.:59:22.

or out of this world, there really was something

:59:23.:59:24.

Sometimes, you just had to look a little bit harder to find it.

Hello this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Steph McGovern.

Saturday 31st December. Warnings of travel disruption

bad as yesterday. I have the details on that and details of the weather

conditions as we finish this year and head on to the next.

More than 100 Olympic and Paralympic stars have been recognised

At the end of a glittering year for British sport, for five of its

:02:02.:02:07.

greatest stars, the greatest honours. First, a noted for the man

:02:08.:02:12.

who spent 2016 skilling dizzying new heights. Wimbledon champion again.

After winning a second Wimbledon, a second Olympics and world number one

spot, it is no sir Andy Murray, fitting finish to a remarkable

:02:26.:02:29.

season. There is also a new title for Mo Farah's collection. The

:02:30.:02:36.

double double. He described his noted as a dream come true, having

:02:37.:02:41.

come to Britain as an 18-year-old from Somalia, he could never have

imagined it. Another athletic star meanwhile becomes a game. Jessica

:02:47.:02:53.

Ennis Hill, she retired this year. There is also a game had fought

:02:54.:02:58.

Katherine Grainger after five medals at five consecutive Olympics, the

:02:59.:03:03.

perfect ending for her career. It is not something I ever thought I would

:03:04.:03:06.

great, but what a great time together. It is the end of a 20 year

:03:07.:03:13.

career. It is a lovely way to bring the curtain down. There is a noted

:03:14.:03:19.

for one of the top parliamentarians, Lee Pearson, the dressage rider, who

:03:20.:03:25.

won his 11th gold medal in Rio. Two sporting couples, CBEs for Jason and

OBE and Michael O'Neill becomes an MBE, just a few of more than 100

:03:45.:03:48.

sporting figures honoured for a memorable 12 months.

:03:49.:03:50.

Stars of the stage and screen, have also been included

:03:51.:03:52.

Ken Dodd said he was 'tickled' to have been knighted

:03:53.:03:56.

at the age of 89, and joked that he would wear his medal in bed.

:03:57.:04:01.

Patricia Routledge, the star of Keeping up Appearances

:04:02.:04:03.

has been made a Dame, an announcement that would make

:04:04.:04:06.

Ray Davies, frontman of the Kinks, said he felt humility and joy

:04:07.:04:12.

He's been recognised for services to the arts.

:04:13.:04:18.

And he picked up the best-supporting actor award at the Oscars

:04:19.:04:21.

earlier this year, now Mark Rylance, star of the film Bridge of Spies

:04:22.:04:24.

and BBC Two's Wolf Hall, has been made a Sir.

:04:25.:04:36.

Around three quarters of those who received the words were recognised

:04:37.:04:41.

for their services to the community. One of those said it was a

:04:42.:04:46.

marvellous surprise. It has been astonishing really. It would sink in

:04:47.:04:50.

until April to the Palace and get the awards. It still doesn't feel

:04:51.:04:55.

real for me yet. I just want to get rid of the stigma and the fear

:04:56.:04:58.

attached to mental health. That is what I haven't been doing the work I

:04:59.:05:03.

have been doing and focusing on young people. We launched a mental

:05:04.:05:04.

health workshop in schools. There's a warning that heavy

:05:05.:05:07.

fog could cause further Yesterday the UK's biggest airports,

:05:08.:05:09.

Heathrow and Gatwick cancelled The Met Office says driving

:05:10.:05:13.

conditions will be difficult in many areas of central,

:05:14.:05:17.

eastern and south-east England. Our reporter, Simon Jones, is at

:05:18.:05:19.

Heathrow airport this morning. I know you are keeping a close eye

:05:20.:05:35.

on conditions. What is the latest? We have the strange situation this

:05:36.:05:39.

morning where you can hear the planes coming and going, but it is

:05:40.:05:43.

difficult to make them out because the fog is quite dense and if you

:05:44.:05:47.

look at the departure boards it is a pretty grim picture. We have a lot

:05:48.:05:51.

of flights delayed for several hours. One for 16 hours. That is if

:05:52.:05:57.

I to Frankfurt. We have had flights cancelled. BA have cancelled more

:05:58.:06:02.

than 50 flights coming and going from the UK. That could affect

:06:03.:06:05.

around seven and a half thousand passengers. Yesterday some 30,000

:06:06.:06:11.

passengers had flights to and from the UK cancelled. We have a Yellow

:06:12.:06:16.

weather warning in place for forward for the south-east, for southern

:06:17.:06:21.

England, central England and the Midlands and also Yorkshire, meaning

:06:22.:06:25.

people should be prepared. It is not just a problem at the airports.

:06:26.:06:29.

There are also issues on the roads were driving conditions are

extremely bad. Visibility less than 100 metres. The advice is Jacobi

Around 3,000 police officers will be on duty across central London

:06:44.:06:45.

tonight as crowds gather to celebrate the New Year.

:06:46.:06:47.

Greater Manchester police and other forces say they've also stepped up

:06:48.:06:50.

Scotland Yard says extra resources have been brought in to keep people

:06:51.:06:55.

safe following the terror attacks in Berlin and Nice

:06:56.:06:57.

We spent a long time carefully planning this operation with our

partners including the mayor 's office, Westminster City Council and

:07:13.:07:15.

others to make sure people can into central London and fantastic time.

:07:16.:07:20.

There will be a search regime in place. Something like 3000 police

officers on duty in central London alone and there will be stewards as

well. Meanwhile, the German Chancellor

:07:27.:07:27.

Angela Merkel has said that Islamist terrorism is the biggest challenge

:07:28.:07:29.

facing her country. In her New Year message,

:07:30.:07:32.

Mrs Merkel referred to the deadly truck attack in Berlin earlier this

:07:33.:07:35.

month by a Tunisian asylum seeker. Damian McGuiness

:07:36.:07:38.

joins us from Berlin. We know that security has been

:07:39.:07:49.

stepped up there. What is the atmosphere like that? Everyone is

:07:50.:07:56.

preparing to party because the whole country is determined not to feel

:07:57.:08:01.

cowed by the recent terror attacks in Germany. That doesn't mean police

:08:02.:08:06.

are taking it lightly. There is unprecedented levels of security and

:08:07.:08:10.

surveillance around the Brandenburg gate here where the main party is

:08:11.:08:15.

expected. About 1 million people are expected to come to a two kilometre

:08:16.:08:18.

stretch around the Brandenburg gate. That would stretch is fenced off.

:08:19.:08:24.

There are concrete barriers up and, unusually for Germany, CCTV cameras.

:08:25.:08:28.

That is to prevent a repeat of the attack we saw before Christmas when

:08:29.:08:34.

a truck ran into a Christmas market, killing 12 people. Also in Cologne,

:08:35.:08:40.

we have got other levels of unprecedented security. That is to

:08:41.:08:45.

avoid a repeat of the incident last year and new receive 100s of women

:08:46.:08:49.

assaulted on the night of neuroses itself. That area will be lit up and

:08:50.:08:58.

there are hundreds of police officers just around the station and

:08:59.:09:03.

thousands in the city centre. Security officials are really taking

:09:04.:09:06.

it extremely seriously because the last thing they want is a repeat of

:09:07.:09:10.

what happened last New Year's Eve in Cologne. Thank you very much.

:09:11.:09:14.

Two bomb explosions at a busy market in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad,

:09:15.:09:17.

Dozens more were wounded in the blasts which happened at a market.

:09:18.:09:22.

The motives are not known and no one has admitted

:09:23.:09:24.

Donald Trump has praised Russia's President Putin

:09:25.:09:29.

for his decision not to engage in a row about the

40% of councils in England have no procedures in place

to prosecute people who misuse disabled parking permits.

:09:52.:09:53.

New analysis of official figures found that in 61 local authorities

:09:54.:09:55.

blue badges could be used fraudulently without

:09:56.:09:57.

The finding has been described as 'staggering'

:09:58.:10:05.

Our main story is the new years Honours. The recent reintroduction

:10:06.:10:26.

of the British Empire medal has put service in the community at the

:10:27.:10:31.

heart of list. This year, the BDM has been ordered to more than 320

:10:32.:10:35.

people and two of those recipients are with us now. Good morning to you

:10:36.:10:50.

both. Big smiles today from you. I know when we talk to people who get

:10:51.:10:54.

their owners, they said we didn't do it for the honours, we were doing

:10:55.:10:55.

the work because we love what we do. Have you been able to talk to your

:10:56.:11:07.

family get about it? Since putting the message online last night the

:11:08.:11:11.

phone has been crazy. To the point where I have not been able to

:11:12.:11:14.

respond. The response has been amazing. It gives me a nice feeling.

:11:15.:11:22.

Tell us about the work that you do? In 2007 I began to do some community

:11:23.:11:27.

work because that was the year when the gun and knife crime rate was

:11:28.:11:32.

very high, so I started working with police and local councils to put on

:11:33.:11:37.

under dating events to put on projects to get young people working

:11:38.:11:41.

with the elderly, to give them an opportunity to do something and to

:11:42.:11:46.

be in a safe environment. One thing that I began to train to work with

:11:47.:11:52.

children to join the teaching field. I started working that their old

:11:53.:11:56.

primary school as a teaching assistant. I have been there for six

:11:57.:12:02.

years so I have been eating cold listings from home to try to get

:12:03.:12:08.

young people ready to join work. I have been acting CV workshops and a

:12:09.:12:12.

job application workshops from home on weekends, because I am strong in

:12:13.:12:17.

the sort of food. I have been wanting to help young people to

:12:18.:12:25.

prepare to become adults so that is what I have been doing. It has not

:12:26.:12:29.

been easy, but it is finding the time to do so. That has not been an

:12:30.:12:34.

issue for me because I just enjoy it and it is just about helping each

:12:35.:12:42.

other to grow. Such important work. Jackie, for you, really important as

:12:43.:12:48.

well. You have been helping veterans with addiction. Also

:12:49.:12:52.

congratulations. I work for a charity, the only charity of its

:12:53.:12:58.

kind in the UK, perpetrates addiction in veterans. What we know

:12:59.:13:03.

about veterans, their problematic trekking is much higher than the

:13:04.:13:06.

mention population, you'd think there would be as centres around the

:13:07.:13:10.

country, but we were founded three years ago and we have had incredible

:13:11.:13:15.

results. We are full at the moment. We have 12 beds in our centre and we

:13:16.:13:19.

are completely flew over Christmas and New Year. What we are doing is

:13:20.:13:25.

working and much needed. Influencing the Ministry of Defence because you

:13:26.:13:30.

have worked with them. I have got to hang out in Whitehall quite a bit

:13:31.:13:37.

and go to see the Minister. Just to make sure that they are taking us

:13:38.:13:41.

seriously because if you are wounded, injured or six, it is taken

:13:42.:13:47.

seriously but when it comes to addiction it is very much the last

:13:48.:13:52.

to be about how we can help people. What was the thing that made you

:13:53.:13:56.

want to do something? Often we say it would be easy not to and there

:13:57.:14:00.

are a lot of people who step out of the ordinary life and help. What was

:14:01.:14:08.

your inspiration? My inspiration was definitely my parents because I feel

:14:09.:14:13.

that are growing up I have had the support from my mum and dad and from

:14:14.:14:20.

people in local community that have supported me to be worked out and

:14:21.:14:23.

today and when I look at young people today, many are from single

:14:24.:14:28.

parents, some have only a mum or a dad, so I have looked at that and

:14:29.:14:34.

realised that there is not support out their four young people. Myself

:14:35.:14:40.

and other US workers in Manchester, being on the streets supporting

:14:41.:14:44.

young people, that has given them someone to come for advice and that

:14:45.:14:49.

has just given them someone to speak to. You had loads of people knocking

:14:50.:14:55.

on your door saying could you help with jobs and the things. As a part

:14:56.:15:04.

of the City Council, they made me an ambassador for where I live in the

:15:05.:15:09.

local area and as the role of an ambassador you are supposed to be

:15:10.:15:13.

the first point of call for your community, so if they need someone

:15:14.:15:17.

to speak to or if they want to report a letter issue they come and

:15:18.:15:21.

speak to you. I think some quite a bit mixed up with what the road was.

:15:22.:15:28.

People were knocking on the door and saying I am looking for a job. I am

:15:29.:15:33.

the type of person if I can help I can help. I was looking for jobs for

:15:34.:15:40.

people. It got so popular. 20 people would be at the doorstep on a

:15:41.:15:45.

Saturday and how can I make this manageable for myself so that is

:15:46.:15:51.

when I need a Facebook group called Manchester job opportunities and we

:15:52.:15:55.

have 17,000 members, over 200 are getting a full time job and I have

:15:56.:16:01.

linked with over 200 businesses. I don't know if in your line of work

:16:02.:16:07.

there is something corresponding. Where people try to get involved?

:16:08.:16:13.

Now, addiction isn't always the Cinderella charity that it was. I

:16:14.:16:16.

used to work for a charity with the Duchess of Cambridge was the patron,

:16:17.:16:20.

so she raised the profile of recovery and addiction for us and

:16:21.:16:26.

now, with the charity work for now being related to veterans, people

:16:27.:16:30.

are beginning to take it seriously and say there is a correlation

:16:31.:16:34.

between high levels of trekking and military service and so it is my job

:16:35.:16:38.

to keep getting out there and winning an award like this is

:16:39.:16:42.

leveraged to do this. For me, that is what the word does, it is below

:16:43.:16:48.

average to get this out. The key for taking time to talk to us this

:16:49.:16:51.

morning and thank you for doing what you are doing for your community.

:16:52.:17:00.

It is foggy out there, is it going to get any better? Good morning.

:17:01.:17:08.

Ford is not as widespread as dense as yesterday but it is causing an

:17:09.:17:13.

issue and some roads this morning, across parts of East Anglia and the

:17:14.:17:17.

South and causing delays at airports in the south-east of England and in

:17:18.:17:22.

parts of north-west Europe. Pretty misty around the channel islands but

:17:23.:17:27.

fog free here. They could suck. That's it is forced -- frost free.

:17:28.:17:34.

The fog will lift and shift. The breaks in the cold in north-east

:17:35.:17:38.

Wales and northern England, into eastern Scotland. Some brighter

:17:39.:17:41.

moments to the east of Northern Ireland. Largely dry here through

:17:42.:17:47.

the morning. The wettest area is the Highlands of Scotland. We have seen

:17:48.:17:51.

more than 100 millimetres of rain. There is a risk of minor flooding

:17:52.:17:55.

through the day. Strong and gusty winds but this afternoon the rain

:17:56.:17:58.

band will shift further south, introducing clearer conditions to

:17:59.:18:03.

the far north of Scotland. Most of us will be dry through the day.

:18:04.:18:06.

Temperatures around eight to 12 degrees. One or two spots will be

:18:07.:18:11.

cooler than that with the mist and fog linger. If you have plans of

:18:12.:18:15.

this evening, if you are heading outdoors, you might need an

:18:16.:18:19.

umbrella. Early on across Scotland and Northern Ireland would be a

:18:20.:18:22.

spell of brain working south but by the time the bells rain in 2017,

:18:23.:18:26.

much of Scotland and Northern Ireland would be cold and clear.

:18:27.:18:35.

Some winter showers in the North. A little bit of snow even. The rain

:18:36.:18:38.

pushes into northern England by the time we get to midnight and it will

:18:39.:18:41.

be a wet start to 2017. One or two spots of rain and drizzle. Much of

:18:42.:18:44.

England and Wales will be dry and quite a mild start to the New Year

:18:45.:18:47.

with temperatures staying around seven or 8 degrees. Scotland and

:18:48.:18:52.

Northern Ireland, the frost will set in away from the coast. Much cruder

:18:53.:18:58.

air to see in the new year. A good day for blowing the cobwebs away if

:18:59.:19:02.

tonight is a bit too much for you. The study did it with some rain and

:19:03.:19:07.

snow across northern England. Reading, sleep and still continues

:19:08.:19:10.

across parts of Wales, the Midlands, East Anglia and the South into the

:19:11.:19:14.

afternoon with some white snow over higher ground. We will get some snow

:19:15.:19:20.

in northern Scotland and in parts of the north-east of England on higher

:19:21.:19:24.

ground. Much in the North will be dry and sunny. More sunshine to come

:19:25.:19:27.

through Monday and Tuesday nights will be particularly chilly.

:19:28.:19:34.

Childhood memories of growing up with an alcoholic father have

:19:35.:19:37.

prompted the Shadow Health Secretary to call for greater

:19:38.:19:39.

recognition of the damage done by excessive drinking.

:19:40.:19:42.

Labour's Jonathan Ashworth chairs an all-party

:19:43.:19:43.

parliamentary group dedicated to the children of alcoholics.

:19:44.:19:45.

The group, which is publishing research in the New Year,

:19:46.:19:50.

says millions of young people are 'suffering in silence'.

:19:51.:19:55.

Jonathan Ashworth joins us now from our London newsroom.

:19:56.:20:02.

Good morning and thank you for joining us. We were just talking to

:20:03.:20:11.

Jackie who helps to run the Thomas Harrison foundation which helps

:20:12.:20:14.

veterans addicted to alcohol and you are looking into the issue of

:20:15.:20:18.

children whose parents are alcoholics. How much of a problem is

:20:19.:20:24.

it? A huge problem. It is my Parliamentary colleague, Liam Byrne,

:20:25.:20:28.

who runs the Parliamentary group on this, but I am Shadow Health

:20:29.:20:33.

Secretary. My job is to come on TV every day and complain about what

:20:34.:20:37.

the Conservatives are doing to the NHS, cutting funding and so on, but

:20:38.:20:42.

I grew up with a father who was an alcoholic. That coloured my

:20:43.:20:45.

childhood and one thing I wanted to do as the health spokesperson for

:20:46.:20:50.

Labour is make a difference for the millions, perhaps even 2 million,

:20:51.:20:55.

who grew up with a parent who is an alcoholic, because if you grew up

:20:56.:20:58.

with an alcoholic parent, it has a huge impact on you. It can lead to

:20:59.:21:04.

issues to do with mental health, to do with addiction as well. I want to

:21:05.:21:08.

make a difference on those issues and make a difference for the

:21:09.:21:12.

children. It could be up to 2 million children living with an

:21:13.:21:17.

alcoholic parent. They talk about the impact. What impact did it have

:21:18.:21:20.

on your life, having an alcoholic father? My parents were divorced and

:21:21.:21:26.

when I stayed with my father at weekends, grow up I was almost

:21:27.:21:32.

looking after him. I was about 11 or 12, my father drank so much that he

:21:33.:21:36.

locked himself in the bathroom and couldn't open the door. I had to

:21:37.:21:41.

bash at the door down as an 11-year-old. I would often go home

:21:42.:21:45.

or go to my dad at the weekend and there was nothing in the fridge

:21:46.:21:49.

except big bottles of white wine and I would have to go to the shop and

:21:50.:21:55.

get some food and and for me, I had to grow up very quickly. It also

:21:56.:22:00.

made me very determined. I love reading, so I threw myself into

:22:01.:22:05.

reading. It sounds like a cliche, but I did my best at school. When I

:22:06.:22:11.

was 15 I threw myself into the Labour Party and that is why I am

:22:12.:22:18.

here today. I know there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps

:22:19.:22:23.

millions of children, who deeply, deeply affected by grow up with an

:22:24.:22:28.

alcoholic parent. My dad was very loving. He was a lovely man. Alcohol

:22:29.:22:34.

took his life in the end, but he was a loving parent. There will be

:22:35.:22:36.

thousands of children who have an alcoholic parent who live in fear

:22:37.:22:44.

because that parent is violent, that parent is abusive. I never had that

:22:45.:22:49.

with my father, I just had somebody who was basically drunk whenever I

:22:50.:22:54.

was with them. We just saw some pictures of yourself with your dad.

:22:55.:22:58.

What would have made a difference to you? What should you have got? My

:22:59.:23:07.

dad and I saw lots of people will recognise this, he didn't recognise

:23:08.:23:12.

you had a problem. I tried to talk to him, he refused to engage. I

:23:13.:23:18.

don't think that is only support more generally. I wouldn't have

:23:19.:23:22.

known who to turn to. That is what I have talked about having a national

:23:23.:23:27.

phone line. There is a charity who run a full-blown. I am not sure

:23:28.:23:33.

where children would put it in schools or in the public service

:23:34.:23:37.

system, but there is a big road for the community nurses in Sherston

:23:38.:23:44.

censors -- centres. 1 million people go going to A because of alcohol

:23:45.:23:47.

related incidents. Those hospitals treat those people, but perhaps

:23:48.:23:53.

should we be asking whether there are children at home? We need a

:23:54.:23:59.

broader understanding of the issues of how alcohol is not just affects

:24:00.:24:03.

the individual, but affects the broader family. That is what we are

:24:04.:24:09.

calling for. We are calling for the government and public services to

:24:10.:24:11.

put in place a broader strategy to support all those children who grew

:24:12.:24:17.

up with an alcoholic parent. Thank you very much for your time.

:24:18.:24:20.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:24:21.:24:21.

Time now for a look at the newspapers.

:24:22.:24:27.

Anne Longfield, the Children's Commissioner for England,

:24:28.:24:29.

is here to tell us what's caught her eye.

:24:30.:24:31.

So many things obviously affected children. Our guest in month ago who

:24:32.:24:46.

was awarded a new Year Honours talking about the young people he is

:24:47.:24:50.

helping and the problems they are facing. That was very moving, the

:24:51.:24:55.

peace there and I think what was being asked for most of was

:24:56.:24:58.

recognition that this was a problem for as parents and the fantastic

:24:59.:25:04.

work that was being done and reward it was just inspirational. It makes

:25:05.:25:12.

us all pause for thought. You have lived through The Papers. Where will

:25:13.:25:17.

we start? We will start on the unsung heroes with the honours.

:25:18.:25:22.

There is lots and lots of coverage across The Papers today around the

:25:23.:25:30.

honours, but there are sections in most of The Papers about people who

:25:31.:25:33.

are the celebrity names, they are not the people everyone knows. They

:25:34.:25:40.

have been doing important things for the community. We have a lady who

:25:41.:25:47.

has been selling poppies since 1952, we have the first Samaritan who has

:25:48.:25:52.

been doing that for 57 years. We have two young people who were 17,

:25:53.:25:58.

one who is looking and doing work around campaigning around street

:25:59.:26:03.

crime and won a round of bullying as well. Really important things. It is

:26:04.:26:10.

important to recognise and say as a society we want people to do more.

:26:11.:26:15.

We were just saying they are pivotal to communities. When you look at the

:26:16.:26:20.

other names here, the pensioner who is 70 and for 50 years she has been

:26:21.:26:23.

volunteering at Didcot Railway Centre. There are people who have

:26:24.:26:29.

given most of their lives to help other people. They don't did for the

:26:30.:26:34.

reward with the glamour, but it is what we all value in opportunities,

:26:35.:26:39.

people doing the things that are the glue around us. Other important

:26:40.:26:47.

people in society, head teachers. We have a piece in the Times today

:26:48.:26:54.

which talks of a shortage of head teachers. They are highlighting the

:26:55.:26:58.

fact that they say headteachers are leaving the profession, they point

:26:59.:27:09.

to salaries are too low and we are not rewarding head teachers enough,

:27:10.:27:12.

but there is increased pressure on headteachers. Government says that

:27:13.:27:19.

is a lower turnover of head teachers than ever. It highlights the fact

:27:20.:27:24.

how pivotal these jobs are. We want schools to be the place where

:27:25.:27:30.

children can find the chance to change their lives, especially those

:27:31.:27:33.

with complicated home backgrounds, but we need the special set of

:27:34.:27:38.

skills which is fantastic leaders, inspirational, brilliant organisers

:27:39.:27:42.

and the like. We want more people to come in and to these important jobs.

:27:43.:27:48.

We hear a lot about stress to teachers generally, you can't help

:27:49.:27:54.

but wonder if that has quite a big bearing? Certainly. I can be one of

:27:55.:27:58.

those who set lots of things needed to happen around schools because

:27:59.:28:03.

that is where all children go. If you want to know the people who know

:28:04.:28:07.

most about children's lives, it is the teachers in schools. Really, we

:28:08.:28:12.

need to recognise that and support them in their important role.

:28:13.:28:16.

Another story he picked out here, it is about the family courts. This is

:28:17.:28:27.

the president of the family division of the High courts who is pointing

:28:28.:28:33.

to fact that there is a situation in the family courts, not so in the

:28:34.:28:36.

criminal courts, but in family courts where it is possible for

:28:37.:28:41.

alleged abusers to still be able to cross examine their victims. It is

:28:42.:28:48.

one that women's aid have been highlighting the sub the Guardian

:28:49.:28:54.

have been highlighting and Sir James Mundy saying that needs to change. I

:28:55.:28:59.

get a lot of people telling me how stressful courts can be and,

:29:00.:29:06.

especially for children. There is a crossover here too many children as

:29:07.:29:12.

well who find terrible trauma when they have to go to court and are

:29:13.:29:17.

cross-examined. Being in court is a stressful situation that is led them

:29:18.:29:23.

there. Secondly, domestic violence has been an issue that has been

:29:24.:29:26.

raised throughout the year. The five-day high-profile archers trial,

:29:27.:29:34.

although fiction has touched a lot of people, it has brought home the

:29:35.:29:37.

seriousness of this to people. Important at the end of the year.

:29:38.:29:43.

Our time is up for now. You will be back in an hour. We will go for

:29:44.:29:48.

something slightly more cheerful. A list of reasons to be cheerful in

:29:49.:29:54.

2016, so we will look at those. We will see a little bit later on.

:29:55.:29:59.

Still to come and breakfast, your New Year's Eve party will be longer

:30:00.:30:03.

tonight by exactly one second. We will find out what with the help of

:30:04.:30:06.

the top astrophysicist. The headlines are coming up.

:30:07.:30:41.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Steph McGovern.

:30:42.:30:45.

Matt will have your full weather forecast.

:30:46.:30:51.

But first, a summary of this morning's main news.

:30:52.:30:54.

More than a hundred Olympic and Paralympic stars have been

:30:55.:30:57.

recognised in the New Year Honours list,

:30:58.:30:58.

with knighthoods for Andy Murray and Mo Farah.

:30:59.:31:04.

saw him win the Wimbledon title, an Olympic gold medal,

:31:05.:31:08.

and BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

:31:09.:31:11.

But the biggest honour of all was saved for last,

:31:12.:31:14.

although the 29-year-old said he felt he was

:31:15.:31:16.

Four-time Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah

:31:17.:31:25.

said that being awarded a knighthood was a "dream come true" for a boy

:31:26.:31:28.

who arrived in London from Somalia unable to speak any English.

:31:29.:31:30.

Jessica Ennis-Hill has been made a Dame for her services to athletics.

:31:31.:31:33.

she said that she was "truly, truly honoured".

:31:34.:31:39.

is Britain's most decorated female Olympian.

:31:40.:31:43.

She's won five medals at five successive games

:31:44.:31:45.

And gold-medal winning para-equestrian Lee Pearson

:31:46.:31:49.

He's been knighted for services to his sport.

:31:50.:31:59.

Stars of the stage and screen, including Ken Dodd

:32:00.:32:02.

and Patricia Routledge, have also been included

:32:03.:32:03.

They're among more than a thousand people

:32:04.:32:06.

as our entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba reports.

:32:07.:32:11.

He's been one of Britain's favourite entertainers

:32:12.:32:16.

Now Ken Dodd has received a knighthood.

:32:17.:32:22.

The best day ever, you can't get better than this.

:32:23.:32:25.

I've played lots of big theatres, I've worked abroad, but this is it.

:32:26.:32:31.

Actress Patricia Routledge, she's been made a Dame.

:32:32.:32:45.

# You got me so I don't know what I'm doing... #

:32:46.:32:50.

said he felt "humility and joy" to become Sir Ray.

:32:51.:32:54.

A knighthood too for award-winning actor Mark Rylance.

:32:55.:32:59.

Bond actress Naomi Harris becomes an OBE.

:33:00.:33:01.

Figures from fashion and design have also been recognised.

:33:02.:33:07.

said she was touched to be made a Dame.

:33:08.:33:13.

Designer Victoria Beckham becomes an OBE.

:33:14.:33:14.

was chaired by the former Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones.

:33:15.:33:18.

Obviously great pride, but mixed with sadness,

:33:19.:33:32.

because of that enduring sadness of the families who have continued

:33:33.:33:35.

to feel the loss of their loved ones.

:33:36.:33:38.

He is one of hundreds being recognised

:33:39.:33:40.

for their contribution across the UK.

:33:41.:33:42.

There's a warning that heavy fog could cause further

:33:43.:33:49.

Yesterday the UK's biggest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick,

:33:50.:33:53.

The Met Office says driving conditions will be difficult

:33:54.:33:58.

in many areas of central, eastern and south-east England.

:33:59.:34:02.

Simon Calder, travel editor of the Independent,

:34:03.:34:03.

Morning to you, Simon, quite a few problems there today, how was it

:34:04.:34:16.

looking at the moment? It is looking better than it was earlier, you can

:34:17.:34:20.

actually see the runway behind me. Earlier on this morning, it was

:34:21.:34:24.

really eerie, you could hear the aircraft but you could not see them.

:34:25.:34:28.

What happens when there is fog, of course there was lots of high

:34:29.:34:31.

technology that allows aircraft to land and take off without much

:34:32.:34:36.

visibility, but the air traffic controllers have to slow the

:34:37.:34:42.

arrivals. Heathrow is Europe's busiest airport, and that means

:34:43.:34:46.

things start to unravel ready quickly. Yesterday, as you say,

:34:47.:34:51.

about 150 flights were cancelled, about 30,000 people are waking up

:34:52.:34:55.

this morning not where they wanted to be. Today so far British Airways

:34:56.:34:59.

has cancelled another 50 flights, mostly from Heathrow to places such

:35:00.:35:05.

as Barcelona, Munich and Milan, from London city to Amsterdam, Geneva and

:35:06.:35:09.

Dublin. Not too much chaos in the terminals, because most people have

:35:10.:35:14.

been told about it, but lots of unhappy people who have spent the

:35:15.:35:17.

night at a hotel in this area rather than where they wanted to be. It is

:35:18.:35:22.

an awkward time of year, often people want to be with family or are

:35:23.:35:25.

trying to get back after their breaks. Almagro, most certainly, and

:35:26.:35:31.

once your flight has been cancelled, you go straight to the back of the

:35:32.:35:37.

queue, you are not put on the next flight. All the people going on

:35:38.:35:40.

flights and they take precedence, and very few seats at this time of

:35:41.:35:45.

year are going spare. About Stansted, where Ryanair cancelled

:35:46.:35:49.

about 20 flights yesterday, that is 3000 people out of position with

:35:50.:35:53.

very few options to get to where they need to be by midnight and

:35:54.:35:57.

night. Simon, thanks very much, Simon Calder from the Independent.

:35:58.:36:01.

Around 3,000 police officers will be on duty across central London

:36:02.:36:04.

tonight as crowds gather to celebrate the new year.

:36:05.:36:06.

Greater Manchester Police and other forces

:36:07.:36:07.

say they've also stepped up crowd protection measures.

:36:08.:36:09.

Scotland Yard says extra resources have been brought in

:36:10.:36:12.

to keep people safe following the terror attacks

:36:13.:36:14.

in Berlin and Nice earlier this year.

:36:15.:36:19.

Two bomb explosions at a busy market in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad,

:36:20.:36:22.

Dozens more were wounded in the blasts

:36:23.:36:25.

and no-one has admitted carrying out the attacks.

:36:26.:36:33.

Donald Trump has praised Russia's President Putin

:36:34.:36:35.

for his decision not to engage in a row

:36:36.:36:37.

In a tweet, the US President-elect said

:36:38.:36:41.

he always knew the Russian leader was "very smart".

:36:42.:36:46.

President Obama has ordered 35 Russian diplomats

:36:47.:36:48.

to leave the country after accusing Moscow

:36:49.:36:50.

of interfering in November's presidential election.

:36:51.:36:55.

anyone who owns an air gun in Scotland will need a licence.

:36:56.:37:00.

The legislation was introduced after a toddler

:37:01.:37:03.

was killed by an air-gun pellet in Glasgow in 2005.

:37:04.:37:06.

People in England and Wales can own the weapons

:37:07.:37:08.

It's the time of year for charts and lists and best-ofs,

:37:09.:37:17.

so we thought we'd take this opportunity to share our most

:37:18.:37:20.

popular clip from the BBC Breakfast social-media accounts

:37:21.:37:22.

Is it a hard-hitting piece of journalism or a stunning expose?

:37:23.:37:30.

It's this footage of giant panda Da Mao

:37:31.:37:35.

battling a snowman at Toronto Zoo.

:37:36.:37:39.

Thousands of you liked and shared these pictures

:37:40.:37:41.

when they went online a couple of weeks ago.

:37:42.:37:48.

He does manage to demolish the whole thing in the end! We can stay with

:37:49.:37:54.

it for a moment if it is the most popular thing that has been on

:37:55.:38:02.

Breakfast! You can see why! Come on, he is going to get back on again.

:38:03.:38:07.

You cannot get enough panda as far as I am concerned.

:38:08.:38:12.

It is agony watching! Is eager to roll over again?

:38:13.:38:15.

How would you describe that technique? Is that a high jump

:38:16.:38:19.

technique? Don't bring me in as the panda

:38:20.:38:23.

expert! That was a forward roll.

:38:24.:38:27.

Just thinking about how the moralising it is, all the hard work

:38:28.:38:31.

from the producers and editors for a whole year, and all the viewers want

:38:32.:38:34.

to watch is a funny video of a panda. Give them what they want,

:38:35.:38:36.

that is what I say! We are having a chat around the New

:38:37.:38:43.

Year's Honours list, I know you have been leading the programme on the

:38:44.:38:46.

sporting superstars like Andy Murray, Mo Farah, Dame Jessica

:38:47.:38:52.

Ennis-Hill, all getting the top honours. Loads of other stars, 100

:38:53.:38:58.

Olympic and Paralympic stars, Kate Richardson-Walsh has been given an

:38:59.:39:06.

OBE, Chris Coleman McCombs CBE after that amazing run to the semifinals

:39:07.:39:10.

of the Euros. -- becomes. And the entire hockey team,

:39:11.:39:22.

captained -- Captain Kate Richardson-Walsh is CBE, but the

:39:23.:39:26.

whole team are OBE. And Sam Quek is coming in later. I

:39:27.:39:34.

will skip through the latest action in sport this morning.

:39:35.:39:35.

Hull City are off the bottom of the Premier League,

:39:36.:39:38.

but they missed out on a first league win in nearly two months

:39:39.:39:41.

after a late Everton equaliser at the KCOM.

:39:42.:39:43.

The Tigers went ahead but were pegged back then

:39:44.:39:45.

Robert Snodgrass scored this brilliant free kick

:39:46.:39:46.

They couldn't hang on for victory, though.

:39:47.:39:49.

Ross Barkley nodded in the Everton equaliser late on.

:39:50.:39:51.

I'm really pleased, because over the past three or four weeks,

:39:52.:40:01.

Today we put in a shift and got a point.

:40:02.:40:05.

We could be greedy and ask for more, but I'm really proud of the players

:40:06.:40:09.

for their efforts and we have to go again in two, three days' time.

:40:10.:40:15.

I am really pleased tonight about our performance. I wasn't happy

:40:16.:40:25.

about our slow start, 1-0 down, but we showed twice, really, in the

:40:26.:40:30.

result a really good attitude and a good reaction. And I think we played

good football. There was one game in

:40:34.:40:40.

the Scottish Premiership last night The goal came from Jonny Hayes

:40:41.:40:42.

in the 66th minute. The third placed Dons are now

:40:43.:40:46.

six points ahead of Hearts, Dan is presenting Football Focus

:40:47.:40:49.

this lunchtime, and he is here now. Welcome back. Happy Christmas? I

:40:50.:41:00.

managed to do that thing when you stop work for a bit, I got a cold

:41:01.:41:06.

immediately, I am throwing it off. What have you got today? I know

:41:07.:41:14.

there is a busy... Oh! I was waiting for you there! That was fascinating

:41:15.:41:24.

to watch! That has thrown me! Great panda news! We have a big fixture

:41:25.:41:28.

list in the Premier League particularly, and we have available

:41:29.:41:30.

interview with two Brazilian twins who you might remember, they both

:41:31.:41:35.

used to play at Manchester United, Fabio is now at Middlesbrough, and

:41:36.:41:39.

they played Manchester United this weekend, so we got them both

:41:40.:41:42.

together for Christmas, they clearly enjoy each other's company, and we

:41:43.:41:47.

ask them, what will it be like to go back and play Manchester United?

:41:48.:41:53.

Have a listen. I don't think I had what it is going to be, 1000 things,

:41:54.:41:58.

like are they going to react? I think it is going to be nice. It is

:41:59.:42:05.

incredible, because I can watch the game, the first game he comes back,

:42:06.:42:09.

and I will be there to watch, it will be very nice. You have to

:42:10.:42:14.

decide who you are going to support! Well, I love Manchester United!

:42:15.:42:20.

But... I will support my brother, I want him to win. So I think I will

:42:21.:42:25.

be supporting Middlesbrough! There you go, that is what you

:42:26.:42:30.

wanted to hear! I will be at that match later, pleased to hear that!

:42:31.:42:35.

Dele Alli, the second part of his interview, back in the goals again,

thinks about him. A nice piece on Barnsley over Christmas, we will be

:42:51.:42:55.

looking back at the year, as everyone does at this time, and all

:42:56.:42:59.

the goals from this week, and we will wedge it all in from midday on

:43:00.:43:03.

BBC One. Lie excellent, we will be watching that. Dan thank you very

:43:04.:43:10.

much. To rugby union, and George North

:43:11.:43:12.

will return for Northampton Saints in their Premiership match

:43:13.:43:15.

at Gloucester tomorrow. It will be the Welshman's first game

:43:16.:43:17.

since suffering a head injury That was North's fifth

:43:18.:43:20.

concussion in two years, including two in the match

:43:21.:43:23.

on your screen now between England and Wales

:43:24.:43:25.

in February 2015. A review board said North

:43:26.:43:28.

shouldn't have continued to play against Leicester, but they

:43:29.:43:30.

didn't sanction Northampton. Wasps are top of rugby union's

:43:31.:43:34.

Premiership after a topsy-turvy bonus-point

:43:35.:43:36.

victory over Newcastle. Wasps found themselves

:43:37.:43:39.

12-0 down after five minutes, but Danny Cipriani's superb

:43:40.:43:42.

individual effort was the first of their four tries

:43:43.:43:45.

in a 34-30 victory. Second-place Saracens

:43:46.:43:48.

play on Sunday. Andy Murray has been knighted

:43:49.:43:51.

in the New Year's Honours list. He'll play in the third-place

playoff within the next hour, after a surprise defeat yesterday

:43:57.:44:01.

to David Goffin in the semifinals of the World Tennis Championship

:44:02.:44:04.

in Abu Dhabi. The world number one had won

:44:05.:44:06.

all five of his previous meetings with Goffin but lost the first set

:44:07.:44:09.

on a tie break. but Goffin fought back to win

:44:10.:44:12.

the set and take the match 2-0. Goffin will play Rafael Nadal

:44:13.:44:20.

in the final after he beat Milos Raonic

:44:21.:44:22.

in three sets. Nadal's making his comeback

:44:23.:44:25.

from a wrist injury which has troubled him

:44:26.:44:27.

throughout the year. Good to see the veil Nadal back on

:44:28.:44:34.

top form. -- Rafael Nadal. Mike Bushell will be making a

:44:35.:44:48.

comeback in the New Year. In his absence, we have put together a

:44:49.:44:51.

compilation of all the things he has been up to.

:44:52.:44:56.

Walked under water, pommel-horsed with Max Whitlock

:44:57.:45:08.

and played in goal for Team GB's Olympic-winning hockey squad.

:45:09.:45:10.

They're just some of the highlights of Mike Bushell's year.

:45:11.:45:13.

Every week, BBC Breakfast's own action man

:45:14.:45:14.

gets stuck into a different sporting challenge

:45:15.:45:16.

to encourage you to get off the sofa and try something new.

:45:17.:45:19.

What the hell is that? It's Mike Bushell.

:45:20.:45:39.

You've still got it as well, haven't you?

:45:40.:46:23.

Pretty slow, mate! It's great to see the kids play.

:46:24.:46:31.

It's always thought about, we've trained for it,

:46:32.:46:33.

we've live it, we've breathed it.

:46:34.:46:34.

We will all do all we can do for our cause!

:46:35.:46:50.

I've brought some protection. Come on, then, come on!

:46:51.:48:07.

I bet that still hurt! He survived it all, though, he will

:48:08.:48:14.

be back for more in 2017. He must have done absolutely

:48:15.:48:17.

everything by now! Time to find out what is happening with the weather

:48:18.:48:22.

with Matt, that looks for the air than the last picture you

:48:23.:48:29.

Rabiot when a! This was taken in south-east Wales,

:48:30.:48:38.

fog not as widespread as yesterday but still causing problems on the

:48:39.:48:44.

roads, and if you are on the Move over the next few hours, take it

:48:45.:48:47.

gingerly across southern England and East Anglia in particular. Fairly

:48:48.:48:57.

cloudy across Wales, away from the fog, the north-east will see the

:48:58.:49:02.

best of the sunshine. The cloud in Northern Ireland will break about

:49:03.:49:05.

times to the east, at least for a while. We have had over 100

:49:06.:49:16.

millimetres in the last 24 hours in the North of Scotland, gradually

:49:17.:49:19.

edging away from the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland. It will push to

:49:20.:49:22.

the north of Northern Ireland by the end of the afternoon and into

:49:23.:49:25.

southern Scotland. Away from that, a dry New Year's Eve, where you get

:49:26.:49:32.

sunshine, 12 Celsius is possible. Where the fog lingers, five or six

:49:33.:49:37.

at the very best. Some of you may be spending your evening outdoors,

:49:38.:49:40.

building up to the big midnight hour. If you are in Scotland, take

:49:41.:49:44.

some waterproofs, rain in the early evening does clear by the time the

:49:45.:49:50.

bells ring in 2017, only one or two showers, mostly dry, fairly clear

:49:51.:49:54.

but cold. The rain edges into northern England by the time we had

:49:55.:49:58.

midnight, and it will also push into the north-west of Wales too. Much of

:49:59.:50:07.

central and southern England and Wales will be dry as we see in 2017.

:50:08.:50:12.

Fairly mild too, but the temperatures at midnight dropping

:50:13.:50:14.

away quite rapidly in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Colder air set to

:50:15.:50:19.

work southwards, a slow process during New Year's Day, colder but

:50:20.:50:22.

brighter conditions in the northern half of the country. A slight

:50:23.:50:28.

covering of showers to lower levels in northern Scotland. Rain initially

:50:29.:50:31.

in northern England with some sleet over the hills, a bit of a damp

:50:32.:50:35.

start to the New Year in much of Wales, the Midlands and southern

:50:36.:50:39.

England. Some heavy outbreaks of rain, wet snow over high ground

:50:40.:50:43.

mixed in for good measure. Temperatures in double figures here,

:50:44.:50:47.

colder further north. That takes over for the first few days of 2017,

:50:48.:50:51.

sunshine by day but chilly by night. Just before I go, it is less than

:50:52.:50:59.

four hours away from 2017 in Sydney, this is the scene from the famous

:51:00.:51:03.

bridge just a short while ago, currently 24 degrees with a

:51:04.:51:04.

south-east wind. Security's being stepped up ahead

:51:05.:51:08.

of tonight's New Year's Eve celebrations in London,

:51:09.:51:15.

following the terror attacks The Police Federation says that

:51:16.:51:17.

while there's no specific intelligence about an attack

:51:18.:51:20.

in the capital, more officers will be on duty

:51:21.:51:22.

than in previous years, Greater Manchester Police

:51:23.:51:26.

and other forces say they're also putting on extra

:51:27.:51:29.

crowd protection measures. Peter Bleksley is a former Scotland

:51:30.:51:32.

Yard detective and joins us now. A very good morning to you, the

:51:33.:51:42.

message here is about reassurance, isn't it? It is, reassurance and

:51:43.:51:48.

vigilance, although of course be policing that members of the will

:51:49.:51:53.

see tonight, the overt side of policing, some of the cops with

:51:54.:51:57.

firearms, the other security measures, is only the tip of a very

:51:58.:52:02.

unseen iceberg. There are so much other work going on by the security

:52:03.:52:07.

services and the police behind-the-scenes, completely unseen

:52:08.:52:11.

and often heroic, but night we see the overt, the open side of it. So

:52:12.:52:16.

there will be more officers with guns, what else will people notice?

:52:17.:52:20.

Well, there will be roadblocks set up, because of Berlin and Nice, both

:52:21.:52:26.

of those attackers used heavy articulated vehicles, so there will

:52:27.:52:31.

be roadblocks set up. Anybody driving around tonight near a city

:52:32.:52:35.

centre in a truck or lorry will invariably questioned before they

:52:36.:52:39.

are allowed to go on their way. So there will be roadblocks, there will

:52:40.:52:42.

be a lot of security staff supporting police, and they will be

:52:43.:52:48.

doing the jobs which not the police's role, checking armbands and

:52:49.:52:51.

tickets, more of the stewarding of people while police will be doing

:52:52.:52:56.

more of the protecting our people. Yes, in a way, what we are seeing is

:52:57.:53:00.

more of some of what we have seen in the past. We are used to it now in

:53:01.:53:04.

airports, people in London will remember the ring of steel in the

:53:05.:53:07.

City of London. Various parts of the security measures are being seen

:53:08.:53:13.

more often and more frequently. Yeah, absolutely, and part of that

:53:14.:53:18.

is to serve as a deterrent, to put people off doing what they might be

:53:19.:53:21.

thinking of plotting and planning to do, and that is only right, and we

:53:22.:53:26.

will see more of it, unfortunately, this very clear and present threat

:53:27.:53:30.

and danger that exists to us all is not going to go away any time soon -

:53:31.:53:36.

if in fact ever. We will, as unpalatable as it may seem to some

:53:37.:53:39.

people to seek heavily armed cops patrolling the streets, we have got

:53:40.:53:44.

to get used to it. They are there plans for our benefit. For people

:53:45.:53:49.

celebrating New Year's Eve, they don't need to behave differently, do

:53:50.:53:54.

they? No, but there is a slight responsibility upon all of us to

:53:55.:53:58.

remain vigilant in our everyday lives, you know, we are part of the

:53:59.:54:01.

collective effort here to try to stop these people, so if you see

:54:02.:54:05.

something that you are not quite happy about, that raises suspicions,

:54:06.:54:10.

then pick up the phone, ring the cops, ring the anti-terror hotline.

:54:11.:54:15.

But yes, tonight is largely about going out and enjoying ourselves,

:54:16.:54:17.

and I would urge people to do exactly that. Do not be cowed, to

:54:18.:54:25.

not be terrorised, drink, dance, party, whatever you like, but stay a

:54:26.:54:29.

little bit vigilant. Peter, thank you for your time this morning.

:54:30.:54:37.

On the subject of time, it has thrown up a bit of an anomaly this

:54:38.:54:40.

New Year's Eve. If you were watching yesterday,

:54:41.:54:41.

you may remember we brought you news of the leap second -

:54:42.:54:44.

an extra moment of time which will be added

:54:45.:54:47.

to the final minute of 2016. It's fair to say we found

:54:48.:54:49.

the entire concept pretty baffling, so this morning we've brought in

:54:50.:54:52.

an expert to set us straight. We'll chat to Professor Tim O'Brien

:54:53.:54:55.

in a moment, but first here's our science

:54:56.:54:57.

correspondent Rebecca Morelle. you have a tiny bit longer

:54:58.:55:03.

to enjoy the celebrations. An extra second is being added

:55:04.:55:10.

to the world's time. And it's all because of

:55:11.:55:18.

a very slight wobble Our planet speeds up

:55:19.:55:20.

and slows down as it spins. So while a single rotation equates

:55:21.:55:23.

to one day, some days end up being a tiny fraction longer

:55:24.:55:26.

or shorter than others. And gradually the earth's time

:55:27.:55:29.

drifts out of sync with our clocks. Right now, that difference

:55:30.:55:33.

has grown too large, so just before the clocks

:55:34.:55:36.

strike midnight, an extra second is being added

:55:37.:55:38.

to bring everything back into phase. It's the 27th leap second since

:55:39.:55:44.

they were introduced in the 1970s, but there have been calls

:55:45.:55:47.

to abolish them. Communications networks, financial

:55:48.:55:50.

markets and computer software all rely on extremely precise

:55:51.:55:54.

timekeeping. Some say that having to reprogram

:55:55.:55:58.

an extra second puts them at risk. Others warn that without leap

:55:59.:56:03.

seconds, over thousands of years, the earth's time and our clocks

:56:04.:56:05.

will grow more and more off-kilter - so much so that one day your watch

:56:06.:56:08.

might say it's midnight So what we need now is a professor,

:56:09.:56:36.

and we have got, talk us through, when is the leap second? Well,

:56:37.:56:40.

officially it will be the end of today, this day would last one

:56:41.:56:44.

second longer, but it sort of depends how people are adjusting for

:56:45.:56:48.

it. Some people are taking the time to slow the clock down, Big Ben is

:56:49.:56:52.

slowed down by adding or removing an old penny as a weight from the

:56:53.:56:58.

pendulum. That slows down over a period of a day or a few days, to

:56:59.:57:02.

get it to the right time. But officially the end of the day. It is

:57:03.:57:07.

only a second, why does it matter so much? People have been debating

:57:08.:57:12.

whether we should keep doing this or not, but the reason is because it is

:57:13.:57:17.

to keep our clock time, which is determined by very accurate atomic

:57:18.:57:20.

clocks, in step with astronomical time, which is determined by how the

:57:21.:57:25.

earth spins. If we didn't include them, gradually we would get out of

:57:26.:57:29.

step, and in quite a long time admittedly, something like 4000

:57:30.:57:33.

years, we would end up with 12 noon on your watch happening at midnight,

:57:34.:57:38.

rather than at midday, because you would be out of step with where the

:57:39.:57:44.

sun is in the sky. Whose decision is it? There is an international body

:57:45.:57:49.

based in Paris that keeps an eye on this, the bravery regular atomic

:57:50.:57:51.

clock time that stays steady, but the spin of the earth is constantly

:57:52.:57:58.

changing due to weather, the motion of stuff inside the earth,

:57:59.:58:01.

earthquakes, and it is gradually slowing down because of the tides.

:58:02.:58:05.

They keep an eye on these things all the time, they will make an

:58:06.:58:10.

announcement that we need to add a leap second. And everyone agrees

:58:11.:58:14.

that we all stick to this? Yes, we all stick to the rules. They

:58:15.:58:22.

sometimes call these people be Time Lord yeah! Obviously it is over a

:58:23.:58:25.

long period of time that it would make a difference, but there have

:58:26.:58:30.

been 27 changes since the 1970s, so our year is 27 seconds longer than

:58:31.:58:40.

it was then? Yeah, well, each day is basically two Millie seconds longer

:58:41.:58:44.

than 24 hours, and so as you go, the next day, you will be two out, then

:58:45.:58:54.

four, so it is the out of step that changes, rather than the length of

:58:55.:58:58.

the day changing. When will be an extra day? I could really do

:58:59.:59:03.

without! It would be quite a while? Yes, quite a while! On the issue of

:59:04.:59:09.

time, thank you, we will have the headlines at exactly nine o'clock.

:59:10.:59:12.

That is coming. Hello this is Breakfast, with

:59:13.:00:00.

Charlie Stayt and Steph McGovern. More than 100 stars of the Olympics

:00:01.:00:02.

and Paralympics are recognised in the New Year's honours list

:00:03.:00:05.

At the end of a glittering year in sport Mo Farah,

:00:06.:00:08.

Jessica Ennis-Hill and Andy Murray are among more than 100

:00:09.:00:18.

athletes honoured. Nearly 1200 people are on this

:00:19.:00:20.

year's list, from entertainers to community workers,

:00:21.:00:22.

we'll be hearing some It has not been easy. It is finding

:00:23.:00:35.

the time to do so. That has not been an issue for me because I have

:00:36.:00:40.

enjoyed it and it is about helping each other to grow.

:00:41.:00:55.

Good morning, it's Saturday 31st December.

:00:56.:00:57.

Warnings of travel disruption on the roads and at airports

:00:58.:00:59.

as foggy conditions continue to affect parts of the country.

:01:00.:01:04.

Security plans for New Year's Eve celebrations are modified

:01:05.:01:07.

in response to this year's terror attacks in Berlin and Nice.

:01:08.:01:14.

Hull city are off the bottom of the Premier League

:01:15.:01:16.

Should a young footballers be stopped from heading the ball? We

:01:17.:01:32.

have to look at the fact of the damage being caused to children.

:01:33.:01:39.

Football is the game of football, if you take heading out, where do you

:01:40.:01:40.

draw the line? Still some foreground across

:01:41.:01:50.

southern areas but nowhere near as bad as history. I have the details

:01:51.:01:54.

and details of what the conditions as we finish this year and head onto

:01:55.:01:56.

the next. See you in minutes. More than 100 Olympic and Paralympic

:01:57.:01:58.

stars have been recognised in the New Year Honours list,

:01:59.:02:03.

with knighthoods for Jessica Ennis-Hill and the rower,

:02:04.:02:06.

Katherine Grainger, have received damehoods,

:02:07.:02:09.

while the gold medal-winning Paralympian, Lee Pearson,

:02:10.:02:11.

has also been knighted. Our correspondent,

:02:12.:02:15.

Andy Swiss, has the details. At the end of a glittering

:02:16.:02:21.

year for British sport, for five of its greatest stars,

:02:22.:02:23.

the greatest of honours. First, a knighthood for the man

:02:24.:02:28.

who spent 2016 scaling COMMENTATOR: Wimbledon champion

:02:29.:02:30.

again, a supreme performance. After winning a second Wimbledon,

:02:31.:02:41.

a second Olympics and the world number one spot, it's

:02:42.:02:44.

now Sir Andy Murray, a fitting finish to

:02:45.:02:46.

a remarkable season. There's also a new title

:02:47.:02:48.

for Mo Farah's collection. He described his knighthood

:02:49.:02:51.

as a dream come true. Having come to Britain

:02:52.:03:01.

as an eight-year-old from Somalia, he added, he could never

:03:02.:03:03.

have imagined it. Another athletics star,

:03:04.:03:05.

meanwhile, becomes a dame. London 2012 heptathlon champion,

:03:06.:03:07.

Jessica Ennis-Hill, There's also a damehood

:03:08.:03:11.

for rower Katherine Grainger. After five medals at five

:03:12.:03:16.

consecutive Olympics, It's not something I ever thought

:03:17.:03:18.

I would get but what a great time It's the end of a 20-year career

:03:19.:03:26.

for me in competing for my country, and it's a lovely way

:03:27.:03:31.

to bring the curtain down. And there's a knighthood for one

:03:32.:03:34.

of Britain's top Paralympians. Dressage rider Lee Pearson

:03:35.:03:37.

There's a warning that heavy fog could cause further

:05:51.:05:52.

Yesterday the UK's biggest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick cancelled

:05:53.:05:55.

The Met Office says driving conditions will be difficult

:05:56.:05:58.

in many areas of central, eastern and south-east England.

:05:59.:06:01.

Our reporter, Simon Jones, is at Heathrow airport this morning.

:06:02.:06:10.

There is still fog, but it looks clearer. How is it going? Still a

:06:11.:06:18.

lot more delays? It is a bit better than it was this morning regarding

:06:19.:06:24.

the fog. You can just about make out the fog -- the planes coming and

:06:25.:06:29.

going. Easier to hear them than see them. There are long delays on many

:06:30.:06:33.

flights from Heathrow and Gatwick and other airports in southern

:06:34.:06:37.

England. Some flights have been cancelled. BA this morning have

:06:38.:06:42.

cancelled around 50 flights, largely to and from Heathrow. Seven and have

:06:43.:06:47.

thousand passengers are going to be affected by that. It is because

:06:48.:06:52.

there is a Yellow weather warning in place for this fraud. That is in

:06:53.:06:56.

place for southern England, parts of Central England, the Midlands and

:06:57.:07:02.

also the Humber. We also have problems on the roads. Advice is to

:07:03.:07:06.

take care because in some parts driving conditions could be reduced

:07:07.:07:10.

to around 100 metres. Best to check before you head out on your journey

:07:11.:07:16.

today. We will keep up-to-date on the weather.

:07:17.:07:17.

Around 3,000 police officers will be on duty across central London

:07:18.:07:20.

tonight as crowds gather to celebrate the New Year.

:07:21.:07:22.

Greater Manchester police and other forces say they've also stepped up

:07:23.:07:24.

Scotland Yard says extra resources have been brought in to keep people

:07:25.:07:28.

safe following the terror attacks in Berlin and Nice

:07:29.:07:30.

We've spent a long time carefully

:07:31.:07:37.

planning this operation with our partners.

:07:38.:07:38.

They include Westminster City Council and the mayor's office

:07:39.:07:40.

and many others, to make sure people coming to central London

:07:41.:07:43.

on New Years Eve have a fantastic time.

:07:44.:07:45.

And when they come to give us extra time because there will be a search

:07:46.:07:49.

There's something like 3,000 police officers on duty in central London

:07:50.:07:54.

Meanwhile, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that Islamist

:07:55.:08:01.

terrorism is the biggest challenge facing her country.

:08:02.:08:03.

In her New Year message, Mrs Merkel referred to the deadly

:08:04.:08:05.

truck attack in Berlin earlier this month by a Tunisian asylum seeker.

:08:06.:08:08.

Damian McGuiness joins us from Berlin.

:08:09.:08:15.

Tell us a little more about what she said. She referred to the three

:08:16.:08:23.

attacks we have seen this year, saying that what was particularly

:08:24.:08:26.

propulsive for her was they were committed by people who were

:08:27.:08:30.

pretending to be refugees. What is interesting is that she stood by her

:08:31.:08:35.

migration policy because she said it was right and proper that Germany

:08:36.:08:39.

had helped people who legitimately needed help, people fleeing from

:08:40.:08:43.

Syria because she said when you look at pictures of the bombings in

:08:44.:08:48.

Aleppo, it is impossible not to want to help. She stood by the fact that

:08:49.:08:54.

Germany would take in legitimate refugees. That is a wider debate

:08:55.:08:58.

here because the attack we saw in Berlin just before Christmas was

:08:59.:09:02.

carried out by a failed asylum seeker, someone who should have been

:09:03.:09:07.

deported and wasn't and that is the debate in Germany, about what to do

:09:08.:09:11.

with those people whose application for asylum has been rejected and

:09:12.:09:16.

told to get them out of Germany for the sake of the security of the

:09:17.:09:20.

country because we are seeing unprecedented levels of security in

:09:21.:09:22.

the run-up to the celebrations. Donald Trump has praised

:09:23.:09:28.

Russia's President Putin for his decision not to engage

became the first squad to win gold. We will have one of those

:10:28.:10:33.

medallists, no NBA. First, let's have a look at some of the

:10:34.:10:38.

highlights from Rio. Holly Webber on her way to win gold. She scorers.

:10:39.:11:14.

Well, how does it feel hearing that last remark it is mad. Winning the

:11:15.:11:23.

gold was insane and one of the best moments of my life so far, to have

:11:24.:11:29.

an MBA is just making it sink in that I only gold medallist. Very

:11:30.:11:33.

excited and very proud. Have you had a chance to share the news with

:11:34.:11:38.

friends and family? It was my mum who said you need to check your

:11:39.:11:45.

e-mails. I said, why? She said you just need to check your e-mails. She

:11:46.:11:49.

knew before I did and she was really proud, as is my dad. To be honest,

:11:50.:11:54.

it is more for them, the amount they have done for me and the time and

:11:55.:12:00.

effort, they got me here. Huge thank you to them. My granny was the next

:12:01.:12:04.

person, but I had to keep it confidential. How did she react? She

:12:05.:12:14.

is 96 in March and she is a tough cookie, one of the first people are

:12:15.:12:18.

killed. What about the rest of the team? This is history Maginn, the

:12:19.:12:24.

fact that a team is one, you have altered the MBE. There were 16

:12:25.:12:32.

others representing Team GB there. Without us being a group of 31 we

:12:33.:12:36.

would never have achieved what we did. As well as the background

:12:37.:12:41.

stuff. I uncovered some of them have not been recognised. I will write a

:12:42.:12:45.

letter to get in on the next year 's Honours list. It is full credit to

:12:46.:12:50.

everyone we have and the fact only 16 have been honoured, that is a

:12:51.:12:55.

credit to wider team. When we watched that as outsiders, this is a

:12:56.:13:02.

really special moment. How would your own actions? Is it still looked

:13:03.:13:08.

like something that didn't happen? I am getting goose bumps watching it.

:13:09.:13:12.

It never gets old. You can see from our faces that we go into shock.

:13:13.:13:17.

Pure elation and joy. It is incredible. The MBE has made it sink

:13:18.:13:25.

in that much more. As well as all that, you also went into the jungle.

:13:26.:13:30.

He did really well in that. Did you enjoy it? I loved it. It was tough.

:13:31.:13:41.

I learned things about myself. I love the jungle and there was

:13:42.:13:44.

pressure only to go there and be able model and act like an athlete

:13:45.:13:47.

but it wasn't too bothered because I have been doing for 16 years and to

:13:48.:13:53.

experience it, keep oche on the map and export crude and make sure we

:13:54.:13:56.

are inspiring the youngsters youngsters then every little helps.

:13:57.:14:02.

A lot of sports stars sit one of the things about New Year 's Honours is

:14:03.:14:05.

it is it as an opportunity to say to someone somewhere who might be

:14:06.:14:09.

watching the snow, you could be doing what I have just done. Maybe

:14:10.:14:16.

it can happen. Absolutely. It is very easy for youngsters to say I

:14:17.:14:20.

want to be the gold medallist. That is brilliant and love the fact

:14:21.:14:23.

youngsters aspire to do that because it can be used. You just have to

:14:24.:14:28.

make sure you never give up. It is important that is hockey girls reach

:14:29.:14:31.

out to the grocery might look at that and say that is intimidating, I

:14:32.:14:36.

don't think I could do that. It is important to get them involved, the

:14:37.:14:39.

nature of the healthy and enjoy the social side and to recognise that

:14:40.:14:46.

sport is crude and get out, get the local hockey club, football,

:14:47.:14:50.

whatever sport. If we inspire one youngster, let alone a thousand, we

:14:51.:14:55.

have done our job. You talk about being a role model, we see the

:14:56.:15:00.

glamorous side, the winning, there is a lot of hard work as well. How

:15:01.:15:04.

long have you been training for? It must feel like for ever. I got my

:15:05.:15:10.

first senior international cap in 2007, that was the start of my

:15:11.:15:15.

career. That was it. People see the Champagne moments, what they don't

see, which happens more often, by the terms you are injured, you don't

:15:20.:15:23.

get selected for you wake up at six aim to be on the page 47. There are

:15:24.:15:28.

tough times when you think, what am I doing this? You look ahead and you

:15:29.:15:34.

think, that is my dream and I want to achieve that. Now, you are going

:15:35.:15:42.

to have an MBA, that is in metal, do you have a place for them? They are

:15:43.:15:50.

in my bedside drawer at the moment. There is a cabinet being built next

:16:35.:16:43.

been causing issues once again. This shop, from Wiltshire. There is some

:16:44.:16:52.

folk out there. It isn't as dense as widespread as yesterday. That is

Most of us will be dragged through New Year's Eve. Temperatures up to

12 degrees. Where the club lingers, five or six Celsius. If you have

:17:51.:17:56.

plans, heading off to a big outdoor event this evening, this is what you

:17:57.:18:01.

can expect. Reading for a time this evening. Some heavy rain and gusty

:18:02.:18:05.

winds. That spreads into northern England by the time we reach

:18:06.:18:10.

midnight. The bells will rain in 2017 with largely clear conditions,

:18:11.:18:15.

just one or two wintry showers. As we finished with a 16 in southern

night. What are you doing tonight? I am celebrating with an early night,

:19:16.:19:18.

I am about three o'clock tomorrow morning. We should celebrate with

:19:19.:19:26.

the Australians and a few hours. They are supposed to help disabled

:19:27.:19:31.

people live independently but an investigation has a 40% of councils

:19:32.:19:35.

in England are failing to prosecute motorists for misusing blue badges.

:19:36.:19:38.

Figures from the Department for Transport should disabled parking

:19:39.:19:42.

permits have been used without fear of finds in 61 out of 152 local

:19:43.:19:49.

authority areas. James Taylor is from a disability charity and joins

:19:50.:19:52.

us now from our London newsroom. Good morning. Give us a sense of how

:19:53.:19:59.

this is playing out in the lives of people, what difference does this

:20:00.:20:04.

make? It is staggering that many councils are not committed to

:20:05.:20:08.

tackling blue badge abuse and prosecuting blue badge misuse.

:20:09.:20:13.

Councils have a duty to disabled people in that area and taxpayers to

:20:14.:20:19.

get this right. Many disabled people, around 2 million, rely on

:20:20.:20:23.

the blue badge scheme to live independently, to take part in the

:20:24.:20:27.

community and to contribute to the local economy and, for them, the

:20:28.:20:31.

scheme is a lifeline, whether it is going to work, getting to school,

:20:32.:20:36.

being near to park near Tesco's. Are you hearing many stories of the

:20:37.:20:45.

abuse of the badges? What are they doing, borrowing them, using them

:20:46.:20:48.

when they shouldn't be, what do you hear? Misuse can take several forms.

:20:49.:20:56.

It can using a stolen badge, altering a badge, knowingly using a

:20:57.:21:00.

stolen badge, but the majority of cases this year have been drivers

:21:01.:21:04.

using a badge belonging to someone else. Fines of ?1000 are available,

:21:05.:21:09.

however that is a deterrent if policies are not in place. What do

:21:10.:21:14.

you make of the fact that local authorities, what this asks is do

:21:15.:21:19.

they have a policy for prosecuting drivers and what becomes apparent is

:21:20.:21:25.

an awful lot don't? We want to see consistency across the country. Some

:21:26.:21:30.

councils are doing a lot to clamp down on blue badge misuse, but what

:21:31.:21:35.

is clear from the data is that many are not. No, blue badges are a

:21:36.:21:38.

lifeline to many disabled people and help them to live independently and

:21:39.:21:43.

contribute to the local economy. When blue badge misuse takes place

:21:44.:21:49.

it stops this from happening. Is the Dan Suter ticket out of the control

:21:50.:21:54.

of local councils that local authorities? Treated like you would

:21:55.:22:02.

a different motoring offence? The powers are there, what we need is

:22:03.:22:06.

consistency and greater awareness. There are councils that have taken

:22:07.:22:09.

many steps to Micklewood wrists and drivers aware of the prosecutions

:22:10.:22:16.

that are available if they do part in a blue badge space. We need to

:22:17.:22:19.

see that happening more across the country. Thank you very much for

:22:20.:22:29.

your time. Time now for a look at the newspapers. Now, and Longfield

:22:30.:22:41.

is children's commissioner for England. Thank you for joining us.

:22:42.:22:44.

That's the good work for dry because you started with a nice cheerful

:22:45.:22:51.

story. Going global as well. So, this is billed as it charts to give

:22:52.:22:59.

you reasons to be cheerful if you feel that 2016 could have been

:23:00.:23:04.

better. It tells us that why there are a lot of things that need

:23:05.:23:07.

sorting, actually, in missions for the last three years, greenhouse

:23:08.:23:13.

emissions, have flattened of. Diseases are following, Sri Lanka

:23:14.:23:20.

has eradicated malaria now, for instance. Extreme poverty following

:23:21.:23:24.

in the world. Also an interesting point about connectivity in Africa.

:23:25.:23:30.

That is the place that by 2020, 300 million people will be connected

:23:31.:23:33.

digitally which will be twice as many as in North America. That will

:23:34.:23:38.

be an amazing change over the next few years. The number of people who

:23:39.:23:46.

live on less than $1 and 90 cents a day, that is another drop. With many

:23:47.:23:52.

of those statistics, maybe it doesn't feel like that. With

:23:53.:23:57.

greenhouse emissions it says it has two dropped by 80% to stop the earth

:23:58.:24:02.

warming up to the amount needed. There is a lot to do, but

:24:03.:24:07.

interesting. Nice to have a bit of cheerful as well. We have a story

:24:08.:24:14.

about twitter. For the Twitter community, this will be a big thing.

:24:15.:24:18.

We have seen increasingly politicians taking to twitter and

:24:19.:24:23.

making big statements on Twitter over recent weeks. They have been

:24:24.:24:29.

unable to edit their tweets before and there has been a big push that

:24:30.:24:35.

they should be able to rather than just delete them. Are we talking

:24:36.:24:42.

after you have posted it? Yes. At the moment there is no edit button.

:24:43.:24:47.

We have to get rid of it, delete it and put another one up instead and

:24:48.:24:51.

not you will be able to edit it. Yesterday I did a tweet and made a

:24:52.:24:59.

mistake. I posted that wearing a Christmas suit. Instead of hour that

:25:00.:25:07.

I posted out that and I thought I'll have to delete and read it. It is

:25:08.:25:14.

unhelpful. There are ways people can find deleted tweet. It will become

:25:15.:25:22.

particularly important with a new resident who will carry on tweeting.

:25:23.:25:28.

You have shown the treaty is putting out at the moment. Weather and of

:25:29.:25:32.

those get and that it would not, we shall see. People are pleased that

:25:33.:25:38.

is on its way. It is an easy communication method to

:25:39.:25:44.

misunderstand. It is so brief and so fast. Actually, it is faster than

:25:45.:25:49.

most medication. It is doubly risky, in many ways. That is why Charlie is

not honoured. We all like going to the pictures, this is Anderson Jones

:26:01.:26:05.

who has taken it a step further. He is quite quirky. This is a gentleman

:26:06.:26:10.

in Stoke who loved his local cinema so much that when it closed he

:26:11.:26:13.

wanted to build one in his back garden. It is in replica of the

:26:14.:26:22.

1980s tune. He has 34 seats, it has taken years to build. It is in his

:26:23.:26:26.

garden. It is only for family and friends, he has the good seats, a

:26:27.:26:33.

replica carpet and he has a little for you and people, his wife who is

:26:34.:26:37.

very supportive, comes out with refreshments. There is an usher.

:26:38.:26:46.

This is an absolute replica. For someone, I love the film Cinema

:26:47.:26:53.

Paradiso, which is about being in love with cinema, I think there is

:26:54.:26:57.

something lovely about this. There is no financial gain. He has just

:26:58.:27:00.

put a lot of time and effort into it. What would be your first film,

:27:01.:27:09.

if that was yours? I love Cinema Paradiso. It is about someone grew

:27:10.:27:13.

up in Italy with cinema. I would go for that. And you can pause when you

:27:14.:27:20.

go to the toilet as well. There are toilets in here as well. It has got

:27:21.:27:29.

it all. Lovely to see you. Happy New Year. Let's see what is still to

:27:30.:27:36.

come this morning. 2016 has been a year of highs and lows. We will be

:27:37.:27:41.

joined by the Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and we will

:27:42.:27:44.

talk to her about plans for a second referendum on independence. We have

:27:45.:27:49.

very clearly run the Royal pictures over the sequence. One of those

across the UK. There's a warning

:31:46.:31:46.

that heavy fog could cause Yesterday the UK's biggest airports,

:31:47.:31:55.

Heathrow and Gatwick, The Met Office says driving

:31:56.:31:59.

conditions will be difficult in many areas of central, eastern

:32:00.:32:05.

and south-east England. Simon Calder, travel editor

:32:06.:32:09.

of the Independent, Simon, I understand you have an

:32:10.:32:22.

update on what is happening. I'm afraid things are getting worse, it

:32:23.:32:26.

is a pretty bleak day, as you can see, the fog is actually clearing a

:32:27.:32:30.

little. At seven o'clock this morning you couldn't see anything,

:32:31.:32:35.

merely hear the old plane arriving. While there was all sorts of hi-tech

:32:36.:32:38.

stuff to get them to land safely even if there is low visibility,

:32:39.:32:42.

unfortunately air-traffic controllers have to slow down the

:32:43.:32:47.

arrivals rate, and that gums everything up at an airport as busy

:32:48.:32:51.

as Heathrow. So British Airways have cancelled about 50 flights today.

:32:52.:32:55.

Unfortunately, if you are trying to get to Istanbul on the flight

:32:56.:32:59.

leaving three minutes ago, that has just been cancelled, as has the

:33:00.:33:03.

flight to Rome in two minutes' time. Across the other side of the

:33:04.:33:08.

capital, London City is even worse affected. Incoming passengers are

:33:09.:33:12.

finding themselves in various parts of Essex, having been diverted to

:33:13.:33:16.

Stansted all South end, and other airlines have all cancelled flights

:33:17.:33:23.

this morning from London City. Unfortunately, the airport closes

:33:24.:33:26.

for its normal weekend curfew at lunchtime, so if you don't get out

:33:27.:33:30.

this morning, you are kind of stuck. So flights cancelled and delayed,

:33:31.:33:35.

what can people do if they are due to fly in the next 24 hours also? It

:33:36.:33:40.

is really tricky, if your flight has been cancelled you go to the back of

:33:41.:33:45.

the queue, trying to find seats on the few available sites. I have been

:33:46.:33:50.

to the Heathrow hotels, talking to passengers who have missed

:33:51.:33:56.

connections. If you fall give me a Ray Davies reference, they spent all

:33:57.:33:59.

of the day and all of the night here at Heathrow, tried to book another

:34:00.:34:02.

flights, but very few seats available. Airlines are responsible

:34:03.:34:08.

for paying for accommodation and meals until they can get you to your

:34:09.:34:12.

destination, but I'm afraid it does look bleak. Simon, thank you very

:34:13.:34:17.

much for your time this morning, Simon Calder, travel editor at the

:34:18.:34:18.

Independent. Around 3,000 police officers will be

:34:19.:34:21.

on duty across central London tonight as crowds gather

:34:22.:34:23.

to celebrate the new year. Greater Manchester Police

:34:24.:34:26.

and other forces say they've also stepped up

:34:27.:34:27.

crowd protection measures. Scotland Yard says extra resources

:34:28.:34:29.

have been brought in to keep people safe

and lists and best-ofs, so we thought we'd take this

:35:10.:35:18.

opportunity to share from the BBC Breakfast social-media

:35:19.:35:20.

accounts over the last 12 months. Is it a hard-hitting piece

:35:21.:35:29.

of journalism or a stunning expose? It's this footage of

:35:30.:35:33.

giant panda Da Mao battling a snowman

:35:34.:35:39.

at Toronto Zoo. Thousands of you liked

:35:40.:35:46.

and shared these pictures when they went online

:35:47.:35:51.

a couple of weeks ago. It is quite mesmerising, actually,

:35:52.:35:57.

this is my favourite bit, are you ready for this?

:35:58.:36:05.

It does carry on for quite a while, and you can understand why it is so

:36:06.:36:09.

popular, because he get backs up now.

:36:10.:36:12.

It is the determination. It is hard to get a grip, what is this, a

:36:13.:36:17.

straddle? He gets on top, and then look out!

:36:18.:36:20.

I call that uncomfortable, personally!

:36:21.:36:28.

Such elegance and grace! I wonder what the snowman did to upset him!

:36:29.:36:37.

We could watch that all day. We will leave him there.

:36:38.:36:40.

He is still on the social media page, if you want to watch the whole

:36:41.:36:44.

thing. So many sports stars recognise

:36:45.:36:47.

today. Yes, great to see so many Olympians

:36:48.:36:51.

and Paralympians on the list, you have been talking about the big

:36:52.:36:54.

ones, and all of those in those round of the -- VTs. Kate

:36:55.:37:04.

Richardson-Walsh has been made, because you do not get given, she

:37:05.:37:09.

has been made CBE, and Chris Coleman, the Wales manager, has been

:37:10.:37:13.

made an OBE. The whole of the British hockey team, you were

:37:14.:37:21.

talking to Sam Quek, they are MBE. So many, the list goes on and on,

:37:22.:37:25.

hundreds of them. It is great to have a chance to talk about what

:37:26.:37:29.

they did, look back on everything, and the round-up of the year that we

:37:30.:37:32.

showed early on the programme, absolutely brilliant. All that

:37:33.:37:36.

remains for me to talk about is a bit of football that has been

:37:37.:37:40.

happening over the last couple of days, you have been taking the big

:37:41.:37:41.

stories of the day! Hull City are off the bottom

:37:42.:37:44.

of the Premier League, but they missed out on a first

:37:45.:37:46.

league win in nearly two months after a late Everton

:37:47.:37:49.

equaliser at the KCOM. The Tigers went ahead

:37:50.:37:51.

but were pegged back when Robert Snodgrass scored

:37:52.:37:53.

this brilliant free kick They couldn't hang

:37:54.:37:55.

on for victory, though. Ross Barkley nodded

:37:56.:37:58.

in the Everton equaliser late on. I'm really pleased, because over

:37:59.:38:00.

the past three or four weeks, we've put in a shift

:38:01.:38:06.

and got nothing. Today we've put in a

:38:07.:38:09.

shift and got a point. We could be greedy and ask for more,

:38:10.:38:11.

but I'm really proud of the players for their efforts and we have to go

:38:12.:38:15.

again in two, three days' time. I am really pleased tonight

:38:16.:38:18.

about our performance. I wasn't happy about

:38:19.:38:22.

our slow start, 1-0 down, but we showed twice, really,

:38:23.:38:27.

in the result, a really good attitude

:38:28.:38:32.

and a good reaction. It's a busy day in the

:38:33.:38:34.

Premier League with top billing against Manchester City,

:38:35.:38:42.

who are third. City will be boosted by the return

:38:43.:38:47.

of striker Sergio Aguero, No, he is ready, he can play good

:38:48.:39:01.

for us. Yeah, finally come back after seven games banned, three

:39:02.:39:09.

games plus four. And we are happy he is back.

:39:10.:39:12.

Actually, I hope Pep gave him the opportunity to have three and a half

:39:13.:39:20.

weeks off, somewhere with good weather, Argentina is good at the

:39:21.:39:25.

moment. He can only score goals of somebody gives him the ball, so we

:39:26.:39:29.

have to avoid the easy passes, I would say. Probably each pass in his

:39:30.:39:36.

area, but the easy ones we should avoid, and we can defend.

:39:37.:39:38.

There was one game in the Scottish Premiership last night

:39:39.:39:41.

The goal came from Jonny Hayes in the 66th minute.

:39:42.:39:45.

The third placed Dons are now six points ahead of Hearts,

:39:46.:39:47.

Celtic could extend their lead over Rangers to 19 points

:39:48.:39:53.

in the Scottish Premiership if they win the Old Firm derby

:39:54.:39:57.

Celtic are unbeaten in 23 domestic matches this season,

:39:58.:40:01.

and it's their last game before the winter break in Scotland.

:40:02.:40:09.

We have had a really tough month of nine games, seven of which we won,

:40:10.:40:16.

one draw in the Champions League. So we want to win the game, of course.

:40:17.:40:20.

However, whatever way the result goes for us, we had a brilliant

:40:21.:40:25.

opening period to the season. We will go away, reenergise and refocus

:40:26.:40:29.

and be better in the second part of the season.

:40:30.:40:31.

Andy Murray has been knighted in the New Year's Honours list.

:40:32.:40:35.

He'll play in the third-place playoff within the next hour,

:40:36.:40:38.

after a surprise defeat yesterday to David Goffin in the semifinals

:40:39.:40:41.

of the World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi.

:40:42.:40:44.

He is already a couple of breaks up against Milos Raonic.

:40:45.:40:50.

Goffin will play Rafael Nadal in the final

:40:51.:40:52.

after he beat Milos Raonic in three sets.

:40:53.:40:54.

Andy Murray on course for third place at the world tennis

:40:55.:40:57.

championships in Abu Dhabi. To rugby union, and George North

:40:58.:41:00.

will return for Northampton Saints in their Premiership match

:41:01.:41:02.

at Gloucester tomorrow. It will be the Welshman's first game

:41:03.:41:04.

since suffering a head injury That was North's fifth

:41:05.:41:07.

concussion in two years, including two in the match

:41:08.:41:10.

on your screen now between England and Wales

:41:11.:41:12.

in February 2015. A review board said North

:41:13.:41:14.

shouldn't have continued to play against Leicester, but they

:41:15.:41:16.

didn't sanction Northampton. Raymond van Barneveld knocked out

:41:17.:41:27.

Phil "The Power" Taylor in the quarter-finals of

:41:28.:41:30.

the PDC World Darts Championship. In what was billed as

:41:31.:41:32.

the El Clasico of darts, the Dutchman saw off Taylor 5-3

:41:33.:41:34.

at Alexandra Palace. He'll play world number one

:41:35.:41:37.

Michael van Gerwen in the semis. I always think the crowd would put

:41:38.:41:52.

the off if I was playing darts. I think that in any sport, in golf,

:41:53.:41:58.

with the huge ground, I would lie down in the feudal position!

:41:59.:42:03.

It is quite unusual, the darts, it is such a social occasion, it is

:42:04.:42:06.

like being in a club or something and someone playing darts in front

:42:07.:42:09.

of you. You have got to be the kind of

:42:10.:42:13.

personality that thrives on that, and the players do, they love it,

:42:14.:42:14.

don't they? The rules of rugby and boxing are

:42:15.:42:25.

often changed to make the sport safer for children to play, but is

:42:26.:42:28.

it now time for football to do the same?

:42:29.:42:31.

With research linking heading the ball to brain injuries,

:42:32.:42:33.

the Professional Footballers Association says

:42:34.:42:34.

it's time to think about banning headers in the junior game.

:42:35.:42:37.

In America, they're banned for under-10s.

:42:38.:42:38.

visiting the National Football Museum think of the idea.

:42:39.:42:52.

As a mum, I am concerned about a ball impact in on my son's head. If

:42:53.:43:02.

they are having a kick around in the park, you're not going to be able to

:43:03.:43:05.

stop them. It is ridiculous, where do you draw the line? If children

:43:06.:43:13.

are trained to do it correctly, unless there is evidence otherwise,

:43:14.:43:19.

we should leave it to run as it is. If there were no headers allowed, it

:43:20.:43:24.

would change football. If children and ten not able to do it, they

:43:25.:43:30.

would not want to play. It is a bad idea, because like some people are

:43:31.:43:33.

defenders and they have to head the ball to get it out. If they don't,

:43:34.:43:38.

the other team will probably school. Some good views there!

:43:39.:43:40.

With us now are children's football coach Nathan Sargerson

:43:41.:43:43.

a neuroscientist from the University of East Anglia.

:43:44.:43:46.

Good morning to you both. You are a football coach, you are used to kids

:43:47.:43:53.

in training, what will they make of this idea? It will be... I think it

:43:54.:43:59.

will be difficult to take out of the game initially. I think it has got

:44:00.:44:03.

to come from governing bodies like the FA, and it will be hard at

:44:04.:44:10.

first, I think. But something to work on, and the doctor has done his

:44:11.:44:14.

research, and he knows a lot about it, more than I do. So I think we

:44:15.:44:20.

have got to listen to people like Dr Michael Grey. Talk us through what

:44:21.:44:25.

science is telling us at this stage about what heading the ball does to

:44:26.:44:29.

the body, and in this case we're talking about a child. Right, so a

:44:30.:44:35.

number of issues. The first is, I think, is really important that we

:44:36.:44:38.

dispel the idea that we are trying to say stop sport, stop children

:44:39.:44:44.

from playing sport. It is really important that children are doing

:44:45.:44:48.

that. The issue now is with repetitive impacts to the brain. The

:44:49.:44:52.

brain sits inside the cranium, and each time there is an impact, the

:44:53.:44:58.

brain is rattling around inside the cranium, and the rotations are

:44:59.:45:03.

causing structural damage to the neurons. Break this down for us, you

:45:04.:45:10.

know, say you all the football coach more specifically heads the ball,

:45:11.:45:15.

what happens each time the ball is headed? Each time the brain is

:45:16.:45:21.

rotating, really wobbling. So it should be able to do that?

:45:22.:45:27.

Absolutely. Why is it a problem? The idea is that, over a career of doing

:45:28.:45:31.

this, over a long time of heading the ball repeatedly, we are having

:45:32.:45:38.

increased damage with each and every hit. And the idea is that what we

:45:39.:45:44.

know is that it leads or can lead to neurodegeneration. And that is

:45:45.:45:48.

measurable? What is the evidence? We do have evidence, so over a long

:45:49.:45:54.

period of time, we do have evidence where what we call white-matter

:45:55.:45:57.

changes in the brain. So the bits of the neurons that are communicating

:45:58.:46:01.

with our brain, we note that they are thinner in people who have been

:46:02.:46:06.

heading the ball for a career. The issue with children, a number of

:46:07.:46:12.

issues with children, the biggest one is that they do not have the

:46:13.:46:17.

same protection as do adults, they are a lot more vulnerable, so the

:46:18.:46:21.

idea is that if we restrict children from heading the ball at a very

:46:22.:46:25.

young age, when they are most vulnerable, the idea is that we are

:46:26.:46:29.

protecting them. Nathan, when you are teaching kids football, are you

:46:30.:46:34.

teaching them about how to head a ball safely? Or is it just not

:46:35.:46:40.

possible? No, it is, and we do that at a really low age, so I coach kids

:46:41.:46:46.

as young as three, and we are making sure that the footwork is OK, and

:46:47.:46:49.

that has a knock-on effect about the body, the stance, and they know that

:46:50.:46:54.

it is the forehead, not the top of the head. You get that in as young

:46:55.:46:59.

as possible, and then they will know. And the sort of correct

:47:00.:47:04.

themselves, really. If they do it wrong, they generally know the

:47:05.:47:09.

answer. Does it make a difference? If they are using soft. Michael

:47:10.:47:13.

talking specifically about where on the head, the forehead is the

:47:14.:47:18.

technique? Not in terms of concussion, no, but for neck injury,

:47:19.:47:24.

definitely, teaching people to do the skill properly is definitely

:47:25.:47:29.

important. Where we are at the moment, the PFA is calling on

:47:30.:47:35.

authorities to consider a. Given what you said, how the doctor

:47:36.:47:38.

explains it, in America they seem to be head of us, what has to happen

:47:39.:47:43.

for somebody to say you can out of children having constant impact on

:47:44.:47:46.

the head? We need the will to change. I liken this very much to

:47:47.:47:51.

what happened in Canada, where I am from, with eye socket. We banned the

:47:52.:47:57.

body checking a long, long time ago. -- with ice hockey. There was a lot

:47:58.:48:05.

of opposition to it at first, but now it is accepted. Do you think it

:48:06.:48:10.

might go that way? Possibly, when you're talking about injuries to

:48:11.:48:14.

children, you have got to take it quite seriously, and the research

:48:15.:48:17.

behind it, we were talking backstage, there has got to be more

:48:18.:48:23.

research to replicate it. But it is possible. And I think that the

:48:24.:48:26.

younger end, there isn't that much heading, because kids are struggled

:48:27.:48:31.

to kick the ball off the floor. The USA have brought it in at under ten,

:48:32.:48:36.

and where they get that and ten from I would like to know. But you never

:48:37.:48:40.

know. Thank you both very much for your time this morning. Time now for

:48:41.:48:45.

a look at the weather with Matt. We have had for being an issue as

:48:46.:48:56.

you have been hearing throughout breakfast. It is not as dense or

:48:57.:49:00.

long-lasting as it has been through the past few days, but still a few

:49:01.:49:04.

patches causing trouble on some of the roads, especially over the hills

:49:05.:49:07.

and at some of the airports of south-east England, but also into

:49:08.:49:11.

northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Most of it will lift

:49:12.:49:15.

into low cloud, making for a grey day across many southern areas, but

:49:16.:49:18.

a few breaks allowing sunshine through, particularly to the

:49:19.:49:22.

north-east of Wales and north-eastern England, lovely start

:49:23.:49:29.

here. The clouds thicken up across Cumbria and dump it and Galloway for

:49:30.:49:34.

some drizzle. Raining relentlessly across northern Scotland for 24-hour

:49:35.:49:37.

is, a risk of minor flooding, breezy conditions around it as well. That

:49:38.:49:47.

rain band does make a ship southwards,. -- a shift southwards.

:49:48.:49:51.

Head of that rain, ten or 11 degrees, where the mist and low

:49:52.:49:57.

cloud lingers, five or six Celsius. In bright spots, around 12 Celsius

:49:58.:50:01.

through this afternoon. If you are heading outside to celebrate this

:50:02.:50:06.

evening, as the midnight hour approaches, take somewhat approves

:50:07.:50:09.

for the early start across Scotland and Northern Ireland, a spell of

:50:10.:50:13.

heavy rain will move into Northern England and Northwest Wales by

:50:14.:50:18.

midnight. As the bells ringing in Scotland, most will be clear, cold,

:50:19.:50:21.

but one or two wintry showers in the North. Largely dry for central and

:50:22.:50:27.

southern England, drizzle before the heavy rain arrives in the north-west

:50:28.:50:32.

of Wales later. Compared to recent nights, comparatively mild, seven or

:50:33.:50:36.

8 degrees as we had midnight in the South, much colder in the north, the

:50:37.:50:39.

wind making it feel colder than those temperatures would suggest.

:50:40.:50:43.

That cold wind from the Arctic nudges southwards into New Year's

:50:44.:50:47.

Day, it will take a while, this weather front will be straddling

:50:48.:50:50.

parts of England and Wales, meaning a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain,

:50:51.:50:56.

heavy at times. Sleet and snow over the hills. The best of the

:50:57.:50:58.

brightness into Northern England during the afternoon, but even here

:50:59.:51:07.

one of two rain or snow flurries, feeling very cold indeed. More of

:51:08.:51:10.

that cold weather to take is into Monday an Tuesday, sunshine by day,

:51:11.:51:14.

frosty by night. However you are enjoying, happy Hogmanay.

:51:15.:51:24.

was a key figure in the American civil-rights movement.

:51:25.:51:28.

is his solidarity with Welsh mining communities.

:51:29.:51:31.

One of his lesser known films, The Proud Valley,

:51:32.:51:33.

has now been remastered by the British Film Institute,

:51:34.:51:35.

as part of their season celebrating black actors.

:51:36.:51:40.

The story of a black man who enchanted a South Wales mining

:51:41.:51:59.

community, Paul Robeson's film The Proud Valley

:52:00.:52:04.

was a box-office flop, but now it's being remastered

:52:05.:52:06.

Ivor England is a former miner and trade union leader.

:52:07.:52:09.

The old man, I could remember him saying Robeson has got something.

:52:10.:52:16.

Not only a voice, but a way of speaking on behalf of his people,

:52:17.:52:20.

and that stayed with me for very many years.

:52:21.:52:24.

Mining has now largely disappeared from the valleys of South Wales,

:52:25.:52:27.

but that connection between the people of these communities

:52:28.:52:29.

a civil-rights activist who became a lawyer,

:52:30.:52:35.

and one of the most famous actors of his generation endures.

:52:36.:52:42.

The Proud Valley was made in 1940, but Paul Robeson's connection

:52:43.:52:49.

to Wales dates back to the 1920s, when he met a group of miners

:52:50.:52:52.

who walked from South Wales to London

:52:53.:52:55.

to draw attention to the hardship they endured.

:52:56.:52:58.

For the first time, he saw the miners' struggle

:52:59.:53:01.

was similar to his own struggle for civil rights.

:53:02.:53:05.

My warmest greetings to the people of my beloved Wales...

:53:06.:53:10.

In 1957, Robeson was banned from travelling.

:53:11.:53:13.

He addressed a group of miners from a secret studio.

:53:14.:53:16.

Thousands gathered to hear him sing

:53:17.:53:19.

at the Miners' Eisteddfod in Porthcawl.

:53:20.:53:21.

It was quite stunning, quite electric

:53:22.:53:27.

that we heard his voice coming from this studio in New York.

:53:28.:53:33.

Paul Robeson was one of the few people who actually

:53:34.:53:38.

stood up to racism and the lynchings in the Deep South

:53:39.:53:48.

and campaigned for peace and campaigned for colonial freedom.

:53:49.:53:51.

He had that same internationalist view

:53:52.:53:54.

that the South Wales miners had, a shared common humanity.

:53:55.:53:56.

It is that history that the British Film Institute is celebrating

:53:57.:53:59.

Paul Robeson was particularly proud of this film

:54:00.:54:05.

because it gave him an opportunity to express his socialist beliefs,

:54:06.:54:10.

and he could represent the Wales working class.

:54:11.:54:17.

In many of his films, he felt he could not do this through,

:54:18.:54:20.

because he was oppressed by the Hollywood system.

:54:21.:54:22.

An exhibition of Robeson's work will run at the BFI Southbank

:54:23.:54:24.

but perhaps it is in South Wales he will be most fondly remembered.

:54:25.:54:33.

That is fascinating, isn't it? Just 14 hours left in 2016.

:54:34.:54:45.

And one second! Let's take a look back at the year on BBC Breakfast.

:54:46.:54:50.

It has been an eventful year, have a look at this.

:54:51.:54:53.

# Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes # Turn and face the strain...#

:54:54.:54:55.

2016 was a year of change on Breakfast.

:54:56.:54:57.

The year we said goodbye to our old friend Bill.

:54:58.:54:59.

I was taking great interest in your isobars.

:55:00.:55:03.

Would you say they were tightly packed?

:55:04.:55:04.

Honestly, I really meant nothing by that.

:55:05.:55:08.

I'm so glad they did not do the jugs one.

:55:09.:55:11.

Bill Turnbull finally gave up the 4:00am alarm calls.

:55:12.:55:20.

Now the day has come for you to swap that sofa

:55:21.:55:23.

for a bed and those long-awaited lie-ins.

:55:24.:55:25.

Do you see the love and affection Naga has?

:55:26.:55:31.

Oh, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful thing.

:55:32.:55:34.

There will be a new president, and it could be Donald Trump.

:55:35.:55:44.

I believe that won't reveal itself.

:55:45.:55:56.

It really has been a year of surprises,

:55:57.:55:58.

and who could have predicted this?

:55:59.:56:02.

Breakfast thrilled in a glittering gold rush of a summer.

:56:03.:56:12.

Honest, do you shove the bronze in the top drawer?

:56:13.:56:16.

Just a few have popped over to see Sally.

:56:17.:56:25.

Fresh from Rio, there was one place our medallists chose to come.

:56:26.:56:31.

Is that Max Whitlock on the pommel outside my office?

:56:32.:56:39.

From Olympic champs...to red sofa champs.

:56:40.:57:02.

The trophy that you didn't quite win.

:57:03.:57:11.

But the real star of Breakfast has always been you,

:57:12.:57:24.

and in 2016, so many of you have inspired us.

:57:25.:57:29.

Running for me has been something that I have used to help

:57:30.:57:32.

combat the mental illness that I suffered throughout my 20s.

:57:33.:57:37.

Four years ago, I could not even run for a bus.

:57:38.:57:42.

We have done it. We did it.

:57:43.:57:44.

We are so proud of what we have done.

:57:45.:57:47.

This year, you helped us shine a light on cancer.

:57:48.:57:58.

You told us these stories encouraged you

:57:59.:58:00.

to get that check, make that change.

:58:01.:58:02.

I would say to all the boys and girls to never give up.

:58:03.:58:06.

And we have helped deliver some of the best bits.

:58:07.:58:13.

There she was, just presenting very happily.

:58:14.:58:16.

And then she decided to have an event later on.

:58:17.:58:23.

We have also delivered some of the worst.

:58:24.:58:25.

We will be joined by Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon,

:58:26.:58:28.

talking about plans for a second referendum on independence.

:58:29.:58:31.

We have very clearly run the wrong pictures

:58:32.:58:34.

And you have been happy to tell us when we haven't.

:58:35.:58:51.

Lots of people have been commenting on Louise's lovely dress.

:58:52.:58:59.

Some people said it was a slice of Battenberg.

:59:00.:59:01.

Some people said it was rhubarb and custard.

:59:02.:59:03.

A few people have suggested you are wearing the Heart

:59:04.:59:05.

I have been getting grief this morning

:59:06.:59:10.

But more of you choose to watch us over your cereal

:59:11.:59:16.

And for that the Breakfast family would like to say thank you.

:59:17.:59:23.

There is always someone, that was Tracy, our floor manager, we know

:59:24.:59:38.

what she meant! And have a lovely New Year's Eve,

:59:39.:59:42.

whatever you are doing, thank you for watching over the last year. We

:59:43.:59:46.

will be back tomorrow from six. Bye-bye.

:59:47.:59:59.

as he explores Naples, Venice and Florence.

:00:00.:00:03.

It's like we're walking through a giant's armpit.

:00:04.:00:05.

We can follow the escape route of Michelangelo.
