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

:00:00. > :00:10.Its ambassador to the UK apologises after an embassy official

:00:11. > :00:12.is secretly filmed discussing how to damage the career

:00:13. > :00:22.The diplomat suggests he wants to "take down" Sir Alan Duncan

:00:23. > :00:24.because he's creating problems for the Israelis,

:00:25. > :00:26.and is seen describing the Foreign Secretary,

:00:27. > :00:47.Theresa May sets out her vision for Britain.

:00:48. > :00:50.The Prime Minister says she wants to build a "shared society"

:00:51. > :00:56.London Underground staff get ready to start a 24-hour strike tonight

:00:57. > :01:07.as millions of commuters face a chaotic start to the week.

:01:08. > :01:12.In Iraq war veteran has been charged after five people were shot dead at

:01:13. > :01:15.Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida. Three Premier League sides

:01:16. > :01:18.are knocked out by lower league opposition in the FA

:01:19. > :01:20.Cup third round - among them Bournemouth,

:01:21. > :01:32.who were beaten 3-0 Good morning. A very similar date to

:01:33. > :01:36.yesterday weatherwise. It is grey and misty with fog in a few

:01:37. > :01:39.localities first thing. I will have more details if you join me in 15

:01:40. > :01:41.minutes. Thank you, Helen. The Israeli ambassador has

:01:42. > :01:44.apologised for comments which appear to show a diplomat plotting to bring

:01:45. > :01:47.down a government minister. Undercover footage, filmed

:01:48. > :01:49.by Middle East news network Al Jazeera, shows an Israeli

:01:50. > :01:51.government employee saying he would like to take down

:01:52. > :01:54.the Foreign Office Minister insulting Foreign

:01:55. > :02:03.Secretary Boris Johnson. The emergence of the footage

:02:04. > :02:07.is highly embarrassing It shows Shai Masot dining with,

:02:08. > :02:12.among others, an aide to the Conservative Education

:02:13. > :02:15.Minister Robert Halfon. Mr Masot, a senior political adviser

:02:16. > :02:18.at the Israeli Embassy, says he would like to bring down

:02:19. > :02:30.a member of the British Government. Sir Alan Duncan has been a fierce

:02:31. > :02:34.critic of Israeli policy. Just over two years ago,

:02:35. > :02:37.he described Israel's control and division of the West Bank city

:02:38. > :02:40.of Hebron as nothing short of apartheid, where Palestinians

:02:41. > :02:42.were treated as second-class In the covert footage,

:02:43. > :02:49.Mr Masot also describes Sir Alan's boss, Boris Johnson,

:02:50. > :02:55.in less than flattering terms. Sir Crispin Blunt, chair

:02:56. > :02:58.of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, described Mr Masot's

:02:59. > :03:00.comments about Sir Alan as outrageous and deserving

:03:01. > :03:06.of investigation. The director of the Conservative

:03:07. > :03:09.Friends of Israel said we utterly condemn any attempt to undermine

:03:10. > :03:12.Sir Alan Duncan, or any minister In a statement, the

:03:13. > :03:28.Foreign Office said: While the British Government is not

:03:29. > :03:31.taking any further action, the film raises uncomfortable

:03:32. > :03:33.questions about Mr Masot, and just how much influence

:03:34. > :03:40.he has been able to wield. Theresa May is promising

:03:41. > :03:45.to introduce wide-ranging social reforms to correct what she calls

:03:46. > :03:47.the "everyday injustices" faced In an article for

:03:48. > :03:52.the Sunday Telegraph, she says she wants to

:03:53. > :03:55.build a "shared society" with a commitment to fairness,

:03:56. > :03:57.and reveals a deliberate attempt to break away from her

:03:58. > :04:00.Tory predecessors. Our political correspondent,

:04:01. > :04:03.Susana Mendonca, joins us now Susanna, what do you think she means

:04:04. > :04:16.by a "shared society"? It is a phrase we have heard before.

:04:17. > :04:21.Ed Miliband, the former Labour leader, use this phrase back in

:04:22. > :04:25.2015. Interesting that we have a Conservative Prime Minister using

:04:26. > :04:28.the same language. It is very different language to the kind of

:04:29. > :04:33.thing we heard from David Cameron, the former Conservative leader, who

:04:34. > :04:37.talked about having a big society, where charities were very much

:04:38. > :04:41.involved in dealing with inequality. Margaret Thatcher famously said

:04:42. > :04:45.there was no such thing as society. Theresa May is talking about a

:04:46. > :04:48.shared society, and says in the past governments have not really focused

:04:49. > :04:57.on trying to help people as much as they should. Our focus has been on

:04:58. > :05:00.the individual and we need to be thinking about the responsibilities

:05:01. > :05:04.we have for one another. Very little detail on how she will make that

:05:05. > :05:07.happen. She wants to shift the focus away from talk of Brexit which will

:05:08. > :05:10.be difficult because the Supreme Court ruling is expected. She has

:05:11. > :05:12.ongoing criticism from people within the political spectrum about her

:05:13. > :05:15.dealings with the Brexit negotiations. We know they are

:05:16. > :05:21.supposed to be happening. For her, one good bit of news is that Donald

:05:22. > :05:24.Trump, the President-elect, she has been criticised for not having a

:05:25. > :05:30.closer relationship to him. He has twittered about her overnight

:05:31. > :05:34.saying: We know that meeting will be happening. Britain needs close trade

:05:35. > :05:38.relations with countries like the US in a post- Brexit 12. OK, for now,

:05:39. > :05:42.thank you. -- post Brexit world. Nicola Sturgeon has insisted

:05:43. > :05:44.she is not bluffing about the prospect of a second

:05:45. > :05:46.Scottish independence referendum. Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show,

:05:47. > :05:49.to be shown later this morning, Ms Sturgeon said

:05:50. > :05:52.she was prepared to call a fresh referendum if the terms

:05:53. > :06:03.of Brexit were not right. They will be making a big mistake if

:06:04. > :06:13.they think I'm in anyway bluffing. If it comes to the point, two years

:06:14. > :06:17.after Scotland being told the didn't leave the UK, we voted to stay in

:06:18. > :06:21.the EU and we were told voting there was the only way to stay, and now we

:06:22. > :06:23.face being taken out. That creates a much more fundamental question for

:06:24. > :06:24.Scotland. Labour is calling on the Prime

:06:25. > :06:28.Minister to approve a ?700 million emergency cash injection to help

:06:29. > :06:30.the NHS through the winter. It comes after the British

:06:31. > :06:32.Red Cross claimed there was a "humanitarian crisis"

:06:33. > :06:35.in hospitals in England. The Shadow Health Secretary,

:06:36. > :06:37.Jonathan Ashworth, said Mrs May needed to ensure that "this year's

:06:38. > :06:41.crisis" never happened again. A 24-hour strike by London

:06:42. > :06:43.Underground workers, Unions are angry about job losses

:06:44. > :06:53.and the closure of ticket offices. Transport for London says it's put

:06:54. > :06:56.a new deal on the table, but that's been rejected

:06:57. > :07:00.by the biggest rail union, the RMT. Let's give you a few more details

:07:01. > :07:04.of what could be a chaotic week for rail commuters in

:07:05. > :07:07.the south-east of England. The 24-hour London Underground

:07:08. > :07:12.strike begins at 6.00pm tonight. The majority of central London Tube

:07:13. > :07:17.stations will be closed. There will also be a limited

:07:18. > :07:20.services on other Tube lines And it could be the first

:07:21. > :07:26.in a series of rail Drivers on Southern rail are due

:07:27. > :07:30.to walk out on Tuesday, And there are a further three

:07:31. > :07:35.strikes planned for the week after on the 24th, 25th

:07:36. > :07:49.and 27th of January. That could mean yet more misery for

:07:50. > :07:52.passengers. We will have all of the latest on that for you as we get it.

:07:53. > :07:54.An American war veteran has been charged over the shooting

:07:55. > :07:58.at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida, in which five people died.

:07:59. > :08:00.Esteban Santiago, who's 26, could face the death penalty

:08:01. > :08:03.It's emerged that one of the victims, a woman

:08:04. > :08:05.in her eighties, was born in Britain.

:08:06. > :08:12.Our correspondent Gary O'Donoghue has more from Fort Lauderdale.

:08:13. > :08:16.She was a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother,

:08:17. > :08:23.but had lived in the United States for decades.

:08:24. > :08:31.She was on her way to join a cruise ship to celebrate her husband's 90th

:08:32. > :08:36.birthday. Also among the dead was Michael, also heading for a cruise

:08:37. > :08:43.ship with his wife. She was shot, but survived. Three others died on

:08:44. > :08:46.Friday's carnage as the gunmen used a semiautomatic weapon in the

:08:47. > :08:51.baggage hall, scattering terrified passengers. This is the man police

:08:52. > :08:55.have charged with causing death and serious injury. His Esteban

:08:56. > :08:59.Santiago, a 26-year-old former member of the military. He has

:09:00. > :09:03.mental health problems. His aunt says he was never the same after

:09:04. > :09:08.returning from a tour of duty in Iraq. As things started to return to

:09:09. > :09:11.normal at the airport, it has emerged that Santiago had told FBI

:09:12. > :09:17.agents that the government and the CIA were forcing him to watch videos

:09:18. > :09:22.from the Islamic State group. That prompted a mental health assessment,

:09:23. > :09:25.during which a gun was confiscated, but later returned. FBI says

:09:26. > :09:32.Santiago has been questioned at length. Esteban Santiago will appear

:09:33. > :09:36.in court tomorrow. The FBI says he is cooperating with investigators,

:09:37. > :09:40.and agents have spoken to other members of his family. At this

:09:41. > :09:40.stage, they don't believe he was operating with any other

:09:41. > :09:41.individuals. Gary O'Donoghue, BBC News,

:09:42. > :09:43.Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The number of ambulances called

:09:44. > :09:46.to English prisons has risen by almost 40% in

:09:47. > :09:48.the last three years, according to figures

:09:49. > :09:50.seen by the BBC. There were almost 10,000 call-outs

:09:51. > :09:53.to England's 117 jails and young offenders' institutions

:09:54. > :10:12.in the 10 months to October, 2016 saw the worst disorder in

:10:13. > :10:17.British prisons for two decades. With critics of the Ministry of

:10:18. > :10:22.Justice blaming overcrowding and staff cuts for increases in violent,

:10:23. > :10:26.drug overdoses and suicide attempts. While ambulances are sometimes

:10:27. > :10:31.called when an inmate is Sikh, they are also needed to respond to these

:10:32. > :10:35.incidents. The BBC asked every ambulance trust in England to find

:10:36. > :10:39.out how often they have been called to one of the 117 jails in England

:10:40. > :10:44.between January and October last year -- ill. The figures show during

:10:45. > :10:50.that time, 10,000 ambulances were needed. That is one on average every

:10:51. > :10:54.45 minutes. Twice the number it was five years ago. Paramedics have told

:10:55. > :10:59.the BBC that this is putting an increased strain on services. The

:11:00. > :11:03.Justice Secretary, Liz Truss, has promised to spend ?1.4 billion on

:11:04. > :11:04.new prisons and says she will provide an extra 2000 prison

:11:05. > :11:07.officers. You can hear more on BBC 5

:11:08. > :11:13.Live Investigates today at 11.00. The average household in the UK now

:11:14. > :11:17.has a record amount of unsecured That's before mortgages

:11:18. > :11:22.are even taken into account. The TUC, which analysed official

:11:23. > :11:25.figures, says it shows families are struggling to get

:11:26. > :11:27.by on their pay alone, but officials at the Bank of England

:11:28. > :11:42.maintain debt levels are falling. With Christmas is over, many of us

:11:43. > :11:45.will be poring over our bank statements to check our finances. It

:11:46. > :11:50.appears that some of us are taking on increasing amounts of unsecured

:11:51. > :11:56.debt, including overdrafts, student loans, credit cards and personal

:11:57. > :11:59.loans. Analysis of official data by the TUC shows the average amount of

:12:00. > :12:06.unsecured borrowing per household has doubled since 2000 to ?12,819.

:12:07. > :12:10.Furthermore, the proportion of unsecured debt in proportion to the

:12:11. > :12:16.personal income has dropped from 21% to almost 28%. Weaving a record

:12:17. > :12:19.total of unsecured debt of ?349 billion in Britain. We are worried

:12:20. > :12:23.about that because we are expecting to see a slowdown in wages and an

:12:24. > :12:27.increase in inflation next year, meaning households can find it much

:12:28. > :12:31.harder to service those debts and to pay off the debt they owe. But while

:12:32. > :12:35.unsecured debt is rising, secured borrowing such as home loans is

:12:36. > :12:40.becoming more affordable. The Bank of England says mortgage arrears and

:12:41. > :12:42.defaults have been steadily declining since 2011. But

:12:43. > :12:48.policymakers are worried nonetheless that many of us are taking on too

:12:49. > :12:51.much debt, which may become an issue if the economy weakens in 2017.

:12:52. > :12:54.Cold weather across a number of European countries has left more

:12:55. > :12:56.than 20 people dead over the last two days.

:12:57. > :12:59.These icy pictures show snow blizzards sweeping across parts

:13:00. > :13:01.of Romania, one of the worst-affected areas,

:13:02. > :13:03.where over 500 people were stranded in their cars.

:13:04. > :13:06.Ten people lost their lives in Poland, where temperatures

:13:07. > :13:12.And in Turkey, flights were cancelled this weekend

:13:13. > :13:23.after heavy snow and icy conditions were forecast for Istanbul.

:13:24. > :13:31.Helen can bring us up-to-date with the weather. We are seeing those icy

:13:32. > :13:37.pictures there across Europe. A huge swathe of blue behind you. Yes, good

:13:38. > :13:42.morning. It is exceptionally cold at the moment. The other issue we have

:13:43. > :13:45.is a screaming northerly wind exaggerating the chill. They are red

:13:46. > :13:51.warnings out, the most severe type you get across many parts as far

:13:52. > :13:55.south as Greece. That of course is for the ice, snow and those

:13:56. > :14:00.unbelievably low temperatures, -21 today in Moscow and heavy snow in

:14:01. > :14:03.Lesbos yesterday. The fountains in St Peter 's Square in Rome froze

:14:04. > :14:07.over. It is really bitter at the moment. That northerly wind is

:14:08. > :14:12.heading our way later next week. For the time being, back in the UK, it

:14:13. > :14:16.is fairly benign weather. We have high pressure with us. Fog around

:14:17. > :14:21.and a freezing fog in fact with clear skies overnight in the Vale of

:14:22. > :14:25.York. Enough to bring temperatures to freezing. Icy patches as well as

:14:26. > :14:29.poor visibility and perhaps towards the north-east of Scotland. Every

:14:30. > :14:33.big grey and misty start for most of us. Hill fog quite widely with

:14:34. > :14:39.patchy drizzle across the south-west of Wales. Using a weight slowly.

:14:40. > :14:42.Perhaps brighter, the afternoon, but in contrast, more rain later today

:14:43. > :14:47.and a strengthening wind bringing rain with cows in the north-west of

:14:48. > :14:51.Scotland later. Perhaps as a consequence, more brightness in

:14:52. > :14:54.eastern parts of Scotland and is the part of Northern Ireland. On the

:14:55. > :14:58.whole, patchy rain and drizzle towards the north and west. Further

:14:59. > :15:03.south, quite grey and damp this morning. Hopefully, we will see a

:15:04. > :15:07.little more brightness breaking through or slightly less grey, I

:15:08. > :15:11.suppose, by the time we get to this afternoon. If you're heading to the

:15:12. > :15:15.FA Cup third round continuing today, it is looking largely dry. Again,

:15:16. > :15:21.pretty cloudy for the dry and return home later on. Much changed through

:15:22. > :15:25.the night? Not for England and Mars. A murky affair. Towards the

:15:26. > :15:29.north-west, the rain starts to take shape as a weather front sweeping

:15:30. > :15:32.right across the country three to nine and because of tomorrow.

:15:33. > :15:35.Northern Ireland, Scotland and eventually northern England seeing

:15:36. > :15:40.wet and windy weather with severe gales. Temperatures down to four or

:15:41. > :15:46.five Celsius at the last. Relatively mild. Tomorrow, behind the weather

:15:47. > :15:54.front, we see a cold snap, but not as God is late in the week, with

:15:55. > :15:57.wintry showers over the hills. The wet weather is coming with Ita care.

:15:58. > :16:06.I will keep you up-to-date through the morning. -- brighter weather.

:16:07. > :16:17.Let's have a quick run through the papers. The Sunday Telegraph with

:16:18. > :16:22.our top story, the government has a duty to step in and tackle

:16:23. > :16:31.injustice, according to Theresa May, setting out her vision for Britain.

:16:32. > :16:34.A big departure from previous Tory leaders, not least David Cameron and

:16:35. > :16:37.Margaret Thatcher about the role that society plays in our everyday

:16:38. > :16:40.lives. The Sunday Times also has that story on the front, the PM

:16:41. > :16:48.launches shared society. They also have a story about Theresa May,

:16:49. > :16:52.saying that Sir Ivan Rogers is in secret talks with David Cameron

:16:53. > :16:59.before Christmas to warn him that Theresa May was watching Brexit. The

:17:00. > :17:05.Ambassador to the EU resigned last week after accusing the government

:17:06. > :17:09.of muddled thinking over Brexit. A big week for Theresa May, expecting

:17:10. > :17:13.to hear a lot about Brexit in the Cabinet meeting which gets under way

:17:14. > :17:18.later in the week. Theresa May urged to get a grip on the NHS as the

:17:19. > :17:21.winter crisis spirals. Under intense pressure, it says, this weekend to

:17:22. > :17:28.announce an emergency rescue plan in Parliament amid calls, or certainly

:17:29. > :17:32.warnings, that the NHS could run out of funding. And the Mail on Sunday,

:17:33. > :17:36.that story that we have been covering this morning. As it says,

:17:37. > :17:41.astonishing undercover video capturing a diplomat inspiring with

:17:42. > :17:44.rival MPs to smear the deputy Foreign Secretary.

:17:45. > :17:46.We will be back with the headlines at 6:30am.

:17:47. > :17:49.Now on Breakfast, it is time for The Film Review,

:17:50. > :18:05.Hello, and a very warm welcome to the Film Review.

:18:06. > :18:11.To take us through this week's cinema releases is Antonia Quirtke.

:18:12. > :18:20.We are going to start with Silence, Martin Scorsese's new film,

:18:21. > :18:22.Liam Neeson, Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, they are playing Jesuit

:18:23. > :18:31.Passengers, starring Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, about two

:18:32. > :18:34.passengers sleeping in suspended animation for 120 years on their way

:18:35. > :18:43.to a new colony on a far-away planet and they wake too early.

:18:44. > :18:45.And also, Assassin's Creed, Michael Fassbender's big movie,

:18:46. > :18:57.Let's kick off then with Silence, a great passion of Martin Scorsese,

:18:58. > :19:01.trying for years and years to get this made.

:19:02. > :19:04.First talk of it in 1990 with Daniel Day Lewis,

:19:05. > :19:07.Gael Garcia Bernal and Benicio Del Toro have been attached to it.

:19:08. > :19:09.He was famously brought up a devout Catholic,

:19:10. > :19:14.had a great and genuine interest in the priesthood,

:19:15. > :19:18.at one point he was going to join the priesthood, so Catholicism has

:19:19. > :19:28.Religion in his films, the Last Temptation of Christ

:19:29. > :19:32.and Kundun, but even something like Mean Streets,

:19:33. > :19:37.What is the religious Martin Scorsese like?

:19:38. > :19:40.This is a difficult film to watch, it is about the persecution

:19:41. > :19:51.and torture of priests and their flock.

:19:52. > :19:53.161 minutes, incredibly long, and relentless, long conversations

:19:54. > :19:55.reflecting Martin Scorsese's own ambiguity towards his own faith.

:19:56. > :19:58.I know that it has been very highly praised,

:19:59. > :20:01.and not many people have gone to see it, but it has been critically

:20:02. > :20:09.I think that there is a pulse of confusion in it, I was not clear

:20:10. > :20:12.what Martin Scorsese was trying to say.

:20:13. > :20:15.The directors he admires, religious directors,

:20:16. > :20:18.Carl Dreier, Joe Navarre, Robert Bresson, there is a euphoria

:20:19. > :20:27.And yet, you can't help think, this was Scorsese's moment to join

:20:28. > :20:34.the ranks of those kind of directors.

:20:35. > :20:38.I'm not sure that he has done it, but I know that many people

:20:39. > :20:42.Let's take a little clip here, for a preview.

:20:43. > :20:55.We have been forced to trample on the Lord.

:20:56. > :21:01.If we do not do what they want, then there could be danger

:21:02. > :21:07.They could be put in prison, they could be taken away forever.

:21:08. > :21:35.As you were saying, a long watch, a pretty gruelling watch,

:21:36. > :21:40.Absolutely, Andrew Garfield, when he played Spider-Man,

:21:41. > :21:43.that role did that young actor no favours and here he is,

:21:44. > :21:48.he has a quality of deeply inherent youthfulness and vulnerability,

:21:49. > :21:51.anyone who saw him in Never Let Me Go will remember that,

:21:52. > :21:56.and also, a Japanese actor, Issey Ogato, he plays

:21:57. > :21:59.the Grand Inquisitor in this, and he is an incredible actor,

:22:00. > :22:00.ingenious casting for Martin Scorsese.

:22:01. > :22:04.And this is a comedic actor, but he playing someone who does

:22:05. > :22:06.the most terrible things, he's a comedic actor,

:22:07. > :22:08.he has wonderful kabuki gestures, and the performance

:22:09. > :22:16.Something pretty different, Passengers - Silence,

:22:17. > :22:21.gruelling, is Passengers something easier?

:22:22. > :22:25.A lot fluffier, a lot more fun, this is about two passengers

:22:26. > :22:27.in suspended animation, hibernation for 120 years

:22:28. > :22:30.on their way to a new colony on a new planet and for reasons

:22:31. > :22:33.we will not go into, spoiler alerts, they wake up early.

:22:34. > :22:36.Wonderful idea, so two strangers facing an eternity together,

:22:37. > :22:38.walking endless corridors, gigantic spaceship, and,

:22:39. > :22:51.breaking into the entertainment facilities, and with their little

:22:52. > :23:01.wristbands, one of the funniest things is the ways in which there

:23:02. > :23:04.is even if no-one else existing, you are still slaves,

:23:05. > :23:06.your life had been formalised before you left Earth.

:23:07. > :23:08.Also this lovely simmering sexual tension between

:23:09. > :23:15.It would have been all right to leave it at that,

:23:16. > :23:18.but there is this derring-do, in the third act, not entirely

:23:19. > :23:24.You can feel moments where it is reaching for some

:23:25. > :23:26.tougher kind of glory, think of something like Alien

:23:27. > :23:29.and wandering the corridors of that spaceship, intensely sinister

:23:30. > :23:32.and threatening place to be, but this place looks pretty nice.

:23:33. > :23:34.I would not mind moving there myself!

:23:35. > :23:37.There are moments when you are shown how jerry-built this craft is,

:23:38. > :23:42.hammering away against things, putting fuses together to get things

:23:43. > :23:53.to work, that ought to have been frightening and made me feel how

:23:54. > :23:57.vulnerable these people are and yet it does not quite do that.

:23:58. > :23:59.There is a wonderful cameo, Michael Sheen plays

:24:00. > :24:06.And you can see that he is struggling with the part,

:24:07. > :24:10.trying to bring more to it than is there on the page,

:24:11. > :24:12.unfortunately, it is not on the page but it is fun.

:24:13. > :24:16.Let's talk about Assassin's Creed, which video game players will be

:24:17. > :24:18.very familiar with, based on the video game.

:24:19. > :24:25.Now they are based on video games(!) this is catastrophic...

:24:26. > :24:28.Nine instalments in this video franchise, one of those movies that

:24:29. > :24:30.has been long in production, lots of re-shoots, rejigs,

:24:31. > :24:32.starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons,

:24:33. > :24:37.To even begin to describe the plot, I am not sure there is any point!

:24:38. > :24:54.Assassins against Knights Templar, let's take a look.

:24:55. > :25:04.This is the actual one that your father used

:25:05. > :25:18.Your mother's death, not something a boy should ever be

:25:19. > :25:34.charitably, I am sure a lot of people will go

:25:35. > :25:40.Unbelievably incoherent, extraordinary, it is...

:25:41. > :25:43.It opens with three flashbacks, three flashbacks!

:25:44. > :25:46.What a flashback does in a film, someone is standing there

:25:47. > :25:50.and saying, hang on a sec, let me fill you in, and then they do

:25:51. > :26:04.Feels like the movie never starts, then you are in there and you feel

:26:05. > :26:10.I went to the cinema to see this, two people were asleep at the end

:26:11. > :26:15.of the row that I was sitting on, that sums it up.

:26:16. > :26:23.Best movie out at the moment, in your opinion.

:26:24. > :26:26.A Monster Calls, now this is the most extraordinary sell,

:26:27. > :26:29.actually, it is a fantastical terminal illness melodrama

:26:30. > :26:38.Maybe it is not for children, it stars a 12-year-old boy.

:26:39. > :26:41.He's visited by a Yew Tree, over a few evenings,

:26:42. > :26:44.and it is played by Liam Neeson, it has a wonderful shape,

:26:45. > :26:47.Dickensian shape, visited three times to be shown things that may

:26:48. > :26:56.It is a flat-out classic, it has the emotional heft

:26:57. > :27:03.of the Railway Children, moments of Iron Man by Ted Hughes

:27:04. > :27:05.and Pan's Labyrinth, I think it is a masterpiece,

:27:06. > :27:09.go and see it and take all of the family.

:27:10. > :27:17.Featured quite a lot in the Golden Globes nominations.

:27:18. > :27:25.Hell or High Water, Ben Foster and Chris Pine,

:27:26. > :27:28.they play bank robber Brothers, and Jeff Bridges is the Texas Ranger

:27:29. > :27:31.who is tracking them down, which sounds terribly familiar,

:27:32. > :27:34.that kind of plot, and features a great deal in cinema.

:27:35. > :27:37.One of them is on a roll, the other brother is a little too

:27:38. > :27:40.wild, the Texas Ranger is always a step ahead of them.

:27:41. > :27:46.It feels like a movie of the mid-1970s or early 1980s,

:27:47. > :27:49.like Midnight Run, where you come away from it thinking,

:27:50. > :27:51.you will look through the TV listings and think, Hell

:27:52. > :27:54.or High Water is on tonight, unmissable, fantastic!

:27:55. > :27:56.It has slotted into that classic film territory already,

:27:57. > :27:59.Jeff Bridges has been nominated for a Golden Globes

:28:00. > :28:02.for his Best Supporting Actor and he does the most fantastic thing

:28:03. > :28:07.There is a death scene and just in a couple of seconds you see

:28:08. > :28:10.everything that Jeff Bridges can offer as an actor,

:28:11. > :28:13.the way that he absorbs the shock, it is a magical moment,

:42:48. > :42:49.by talking about her vision for a "shared society" instead.

:42:50. > :42:56.And in a big week for Brexit, is that vision just a distraction?

:42:57. > :42:58.Let's discuss both those things now with Jon Tongue,

:42:59. > :43:01.who's Professor of Politics at Liverpool University.

:43:02. > :43:09.So she will talk about this tomorrow in her speech. What does she mean by

:43:23. > :43:26.also signed a break with David Cameron, who said he wanted

:43:27. > :43:30.charities to step in. Theresa May has been explicit in the shared

:43:31. > :43:33.society argument that the state has to intervene at certain times to

:43:41. > :43:43.rely on the voluntary sector or free market economics to help those at

:43:44. > :43:49.the bottom. She pledges a new form of social justice, a major gram of

:43:50. > :43:53.social reform. The devil will be in the decal. Everybody can articulate

:43:54. > :44:06.these ideas. No minister ever commits to unfinished, -- on the

:44:07. > :44:09.fairness. We see what tough economic times we're in. You imagine they

:44:10. > :44:14.would be to offload costs but now they are looking to say we will deal

:44:15. > :44:20.with it. Can they afford to? Probably not. There is very little

:44:21. > :44:26.detail in Theresa May's statement. Some of the areas she talks about

:44:27. > :44:30.our making housing more affordable. You can cut stamp duty but most of

:44:31. > :44:34.all you need to build more houses. Is there money to build more houses?

:44:35. > :44:44.Secondly, is this government really committed to eight -- and expansion

:44:45. > :44:47.of social housing? You can see where Theresa May is going. Some of the

:44:48. > :44:51.language this morning very much reflects what she said on the steps

:44:52. > :44:55.of Downing Street last July when she became Prime Minister, when she said

:44:56. > :44:59.she wanted to stand up for those struggling in society. This is a

:45:00. > :45:04.real pitch for votes as well. That is not being unduly cynical. 4

:45:05. > :45:07.million people voted for Ukip at the last election and feel they are

:45:08. > :45:21.economically struggling. Theresa May is promising to deliver Brexit and

:45:22. > :45:24.not just look after the interests of those already financially well off.

:45:25. > :45:28.Is she moving into Labour territory? It is really putting tanks on the

:45:29. > :45:32.lawn of the Labour Party and saying we can be the party for the working

:45:33. > :45:35.class as well. The Labour Party are struggling as well. Theresa May

:45:36. > :45:39.police the Labour Party is there for the taking at the moment. You still

:45:40. > :45:42.can't roll out a snap election next year even though I think it is

:45:43. > :45:46.unlikely. Theresa May does not want to be defined purely by Brexit. She

:45:47. > :45:50.wants to be a Prime Minister associated with a vision. They might

:45:51. > :45:53.be a Theresa May vision we can expect. She wants to be Prime

:45:54. > :45:54.Minister who is remembered and can articulate ideas rather than seen as

:45:55. > :46:04.a technocrat. Of coarse Brexit is important, a

:46:05. > :46:08.busy week for the Prime Minister in terms of that but also Donald Trump

:46:09. > :46:16.has been tweeting as well. There we are, we can see it.

:46:17. > :46:23.There will be a sigh of relief from Number Ten Downing Street over that.

:46:24. > :46:28.It is rather better than having let's have Nigel Farage as UK

:46:29. > :46:31.Ambassador. The special relationship is important to both sides, Theresa

:46:32. > :46:35.May will be anxious to establish good relations with Donald Trump.

:46:36. > :46:39.That will take the spotlight of Brexit but all eyes are not so much

:46:40. > :46:44.on Donald Trump at the Supreme Court. We expect a decision any day

:46:45. > :46:48.soon as to whether Theresa May has to delay a bill before Parliament in

:46:49. > :46:53.terms of triggering Article 50, which triggers the Brexit process.

:46:54. > :46:56.The question is whether they will uphold the original decision and not

:46:57. > :47:00.so much whether the government can get Article 50 triggered, it can,

:47:01. > :47:03.but whether there will be awkward amendments tabled in Parliament

:47:04. > :47:07.which make life awkward for the Parliament, and Theresa May having

:47:08. > :47:10.to declare her hand on the single market, about which there appears to

:47:11. > :47:12.be no decision yet within government. Thank you for joining

:47:13. > :47:13.us. You are watching

:47:14. > :47:15.Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:47:16. > :47:18.Israel's ambassador to the UK has apologised after a member

:47:19. > :47:21.of his staff was secretly filmed saying he wanted to take down

:47:22. > :47:24.a Conservative minister. Theresa May is promising

:47:25. > :47:25.far-reaching social reforms, to correct what she calls burning

:47:26. > :47:28.injustices in modern Britain. Also coming up in the programme: It

:47:29. > :47:33.could be a good night for the Brits at tonight's Golden Globes,

:47:34. > :47:36.with The Night Manager and The Crown both tipped for success

:47:37. > :47:38.in the TV categories. We will have the latest

:47:39. > :47:40.from Hollywood in just Here is Helen with a look

:47:41. > :48:03.at this morning's weather. Hello. Good morning to you. The fog

:48:04. > :48:06.isn't as widespread as this time yesterday, but there are some thick

:48:07. > :48:12.patches around, particularly through the likes of the Salisbury Plain,

:48:13. > :48:16.across parts of Wales in the south-west, and through the Vale of

:48:17. > :48:19.York where temperatures are actually around freezing. That means there

:48:20. > :48:22.will be some ice as well to content with, so not particularly nice

:48:23. > :48:26.travel conditions this morning and the improvements will be very, very

:48:27. > :48:30.slow. Like yesterday we have that blanket of cloud across the country,

:48:31. > :48:34.patchy rain and drizzle across parts of Wales in the south-west, slowly

:48:35. > :48:38.easing. Later sunshine coming in the north and west, the best of the

:48:39. > :48:41.sunshine in eastern parts of both England and Scotland, perhaps

:48:42. > :48:45.north-east Wales as well. But more limited once again. If you see the

:48:46. > :48:50.sunshine you are one of the lucky few, really, I think today. As the

:48:51. > :48:54.beggars on the cloud thickens the wind strengthens to bring rain.

:48:55. > :48:58.Northern Ireland it will be a breezy, cloudy, mild day with some

:48:59. > :49:02.patchy rain and drizzle at times. We will see for much of England and

:49:03. > :49:05.Wales that slow lifting of the cloud race, that might become slightly

:49:06. > :49:11.less grave. But it will overall remain quite cloudy and mild. The

:49:12. > :49:14.light Vryzas overnight will see the mist and fog returning across

:49:15. > :49:20.England and Wales, that lowering of the cloud, but all change further

:49:21. > :49:22.north. Wind and rain across Scotland initially across Scotland and

:49:23. > :49:26.Northern Ireland and England through the morning. Quite an unpleasant

:49:27. > :49:31.rush-hour for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. The rain clears

:49:32. > :49:35.away moves its way southwards and for Northern Ireland in Scotland it

:49:36. > :49:38.will be much brighter but much colder. Wintry showers especially

:49:39. > :49:42.over the hills. For England and Wales the mist and fog lifts, ahead

:49:43. > :49:45.of the rain. Windier and wetter conditions in the south for the

:49:46. > :49:50.afternoon rush-hour. The maximum temperatures will dip down, probably

:49:51. > :49:54.three or four in the north the afternoon. That is because we have a

:49:55. > :49:58.brief incursion of colder and the mild their returns by the middle of

:49:59. > :50:02.the week. After that we get the northerly wind showing its hand.

:50:03. > :50:06.Here it comes, coming down from the Arctic. Big changes on the way by

:50:07. > :50:10.the end of next week and it will feel bitterly cold in comparison to

:50:11. > :50:16.this weekend, which is really relatively mild and benign, apart

:50:17. > :50:22.from that mist and fog. Thank you very much. We will stay across that

:50:23. > :50:24.as it gets colder and wetter and we will have more from hell in a little

:50:25. > :50:28.later. -- Helen. Overweight football fans

:50:29. > :50:31.are being offered the opportunity to get in shape, with specialised

:50:32. > :50:34.diet and training programmes that are usually only

:50:35. > :50:35.available to players. Football Fans in Training,

:50:36. > :50:38.which was set up by academics in Scotland, is now being run

:50:39. > :50:41.by five English football clubs, and it is hoping

:50:42. > :50:43.to expand to others. Shaun Roberts-Ferguson was 22.5

:50:44. > :50:45.stone before signing up to the scheme, and he is here

:50:46. > :50:49.to tell us about it, along with Jon Holloway, the trust

:50:50. > :51:01.manager at Swindon Town Football Gents, very good morning to you.

:51:02. > :51:06.Nice to see you both. Tell us your story, how did you get involved in

:51:07. > :51:10.this? It was... I have been a Swindon Town fan for 42 years now,

:51:11. > :51:14.and they put on the website this thing about Football Fans in

:51:15. > :51:18.Training, they put a video up showing how it had gone at and, in

:51:19. > :51:23.Scotland, and I was sat down doing nothing as usual and I thought this

:51:24. > :51:27.looks good, this looks for me. It is just a brilliant plan. And it was

:51:28. > :51:31.the connection to the club that convince you to have a go, was at?

:51:32. > :51:35.It was the idea that other people at the club would be doing it and it

:51:36. > :51:39.was something you knew and loved already. Yes, it was the fact it was

:51:40. > :51:44.Swindon Town. That is what worked for me, it has been a big part of my

:51:45. > :51:47.life for 40 odd years. And how do you feel now? You have lost about

:51:48. > :51:51.seven stone, you have done brilliantly. Yes, and is not just

:51:52. > :51:57.me. Those have lost weight. My lifestyle is completely different

:51:58. > :52:00.now, and am a lot fitter. That was before you started. You are saying

:52:01. > :52:05.you feel fitter now, any other general health benefits? I can shot

:52:06. > :52:11.for nice clothes now! More choice. And running as well, you have taken

:52:12. > :52:15.up running? I was supposed to be taking ten K this morning until I

:52:16. > :52:19.get called here. Most of my friends are doing a race somewhere. Sorry

:52:20. > :52:24.about damaging your fitness regime. You are allowed to go afterwards.

:52:25. > :52:28.Tell us what it is about these groups that make it work. Because as

:52:29. > :52:32.we heard there from Shaun, it is about the association with the club,

:52:33. > :52:36.something we already know so it is not a big leap into the unknown.

:52:37. > :52:39.Definitely, and the guys don't see it as coming into a healthier

:52:40. > :52:43.lifestyle programme. They are coming to their football club, it is based

:52:44. > :52:48.at the football club and they are comfortable right from the start.

:52:49. > :52:53.They all have a common interest in football and Swindon Town and ethics

:52:54. > :52:58.is success. How does it work? We have a group of 30 guys in a 12 week

:52:59. > :53:01.programme. There are two main elements. The first is trying to

:53:02. > :53:06.educate them to have a healthier diet and better food choices, and

:53:07. > :53:08.put in more physical activity, increasing their physical activity,

:53:09. > :53:14.and putting those two elements together yield some really powerful

:53:15. > :53:20.results. I guess it is open to women football plan Swindon Town as well?

:53:21. > :53:25.Initially this programme has just been funded for guys, and the reason

:53:26. > :53:29.why is because of the research they had done that there was a lot of

:53:30. > :53:34.projects out there for females but not a huge amount for guys at this

:53:35. > :53:39.age group, from 35 to 65. It has been funded by public health Swindon

:53:40. > :53:43.and the Council to focus on guys trying to get middle-aged guys back

:53:44. > :53:47.in healthy again. It has actually started being rolled out for females

:53:48. > :53:52.up in Scotland, and I'm sure that will come south very soon as well.

:53:53. > :53:56.And we are hearing now from John about what it involves day to day.

:53:57. > :54:00.Talk me through a typical training programme and how you kept up the

:54:01. > :54:04.motivation to be involved in. The motivation was easy because the

:54:05. > :54:09.coaches, John, Shane, Louise, the three of them, they take us on it,

:54:10. > :54:13.and they are so enthusiastic about it that it rolls into you. The thing

:54:14. > :54:18.that works as the group mentality of it. You are like a team, and

:54:19. > :54:22.obviously men like competition and it all builds around that. They work

:54:23. > :54:26.you on it. It is not easy. So they put you through your paces. The

:54:27. > :54:32.first week just up and down the stand at Swindon about killed us. As

:54:33. > :54:38.John said to Shane, these boys will never do this. But it motivates you

:54:39. > :54:41.all the time. It is not just the exercise. It is all the education

:54:42. > :54:45.you get from it. It is things you knew but you just forgot, and you

:54:46. > :54:49.get relaxed into your lifestyle. And that is the point, isn't it, John? I

:54:50. > :54:53.suppose a lot of this for many people will be common sense but is

:54:54. > :54:57.about putting it into action. Definitely, it is not rocket

:54:58. > :55:01.science. And that is the key to it, is just about making small changes

:55:02. > :55:05.that will hopefully have a long-term lifestyle benefits for the guys.

:55:06. > :55:13.Some of the topics we look at our portion size, overcoming barriers,

:55:14. > :55:17.looking at the calorie count, understanding food labels. So the 90

:55:18. > :55:22.minute session is split into 245 minutes. The first 45 minutes is

:55:23. > :55:27.partly education, looking at a different topic on healthier eating,

:55:28. > :55:29.and the second session is the exercise and increasing the

:55:30. > :55:33.activity. And that is done brilliantly as well because all of

:55:34. > :55:36.the guys are given pedometers and initially they give their average

:55:37. > :55:41.step count and it is about building up their weekly step count to them

:55:42. > :55:44.becoming... For it to continue afterwards. The guys are now doing

:55:45. > :55:50.lots of different activities. There is small sided football, a running

:55:51. > :55:55.club, a cycling club, a group that goes swimming, a group to regular

:55:56. > :55:59.golf now. So that mentality, and they are looking to continue, for it

:56:00. > :56:05.to a long-term lifestyle change, and that is the most important thing.

:56:06. > :56:09.Initial 12 weeks but continuing to go into the future. Best of luck

:56:10. > :56:13.with it. Thank you for coming in and telling us about that. I'm sure many

:56:14. > :56:18.other people will be wanting to get involved, but for now, nice to see

:56:19. > :56:26.you. Sorry for getting in the wave you this morning! -- way of your run

:56:27. > :56:27.this morning. Hollywood is gearing up for this

:56:28. > :56:30.year's Golden Globes, one of the biggest nights

:56:31. > :56:32.in the entertainment calendar. The ceremony is traditionally seen

:56:33. > :56:35.as an indicator of which films will do well at the Oscars,

:56:36. > :56:38.and there are many Brits hoping to get their hands

:56:39. > :56:41.on one of the gongs. Our Los Angeles correspondent

:56:42. > :56:56.James Cook has been looking Hollywood likes nothing better than

:56:57. > :57:00.talking about itself. This year it's gone a step further, singing and

:57:01. > :57:06.dancing. La La Land's love interests are played by Ryan Gosling and Emma

:57:07. > :57:11.Stone, and the city of stars itself. You've never seen it. I've never

:57:12. > :57:16.seen it. Oh my. You know it is playing at the Rialto? Really? Yes.

:57:17. > :57:20.The next contender for Golden Globes glory could hardly be more

:57:21. > :57:26.different. Usually can take care of himself. He did that way. Moonlight,

:57:27. > :57:29.with six nominations, is a comics coming-of-age story. Naomi Harris

:57:30. > :57:32.plays a drug addicted mother and she thinks the industry is getting

:57:33. > :57:36.better at telling stories about people with colour. I think there is

:57:37. > :57:40.a fantastic level of diversity this year and I think it is something

:57:41. > :57:44.that is so to be celebrated. And it is a shame that we have to... It

:57:45. > :57:48.almost seems so regressive to have these conversations about race, in

:57:49. > :57:53.2017 now, that we are still fixated about that. We just want great

:57:54. > :57:58.movies, really. Do you think there is a games this year? Where do you

:57:59. > :58:01.think we stand? I think there is a change happening all the time. When

:58:02. > :58:05.I think about my career 25 years ago and starting out and how few actors

:58:06. > :58:08.there were to fill the very few roles for people of colour, the

:58:09. > :58:11.stories were just not the stories that people... Didn't realise they

:58:12. > :58:21.were story that people wanted to see. Another story that continues to

:58:22. > :58:25.fascinate is that of the British Royal family. Claire Foley has been

:58:26. > :58:30.showered with praise for her portrayal of the young Elizabeth.

:58:31. > :58:40.What a role to take on. I know, what an idiot! Do you know what the Royal

:58:41. > :58:48.think of it? I no, I wish I did. I was wondering if I might take Danny

:58:49. > :58:52.into town? For what? A change. In TV, the BBC coproduction the Night

:58:53. > :58:56.Manager has four nominations. The adaptation of the novel has won

:58:57. > :59:00.praise from critics and audiences, to the delight of its star, Tom

:59:01. > :59:04.Huddlestone. When you make something you never know when it's going to

:59:05. > :59:07.catch fire or ignite people's interests, but it seemed too. And

:59:08. > :59:14.that is testament to the writing of John. I think spy thrillers will be

:59:15. > :59:24.enduringly popular, and he is the master. Ahmed is also up for his

:59:25. > :59:31.role in the HBO crime drama the Night Of. I think the reality of

:59:32. > :59:35.being caught up in a murder case, facing the slow wheels of justice,

:59:36. > :59:40.it is not a walk in the park. So far there is no clear favourite to sweep

:59:41. > :59:44.the board this awards season, which just makes the Golden Globes, always

:59:45. > :59:46.keenly followed for clues as the Oscars success, all the more

:59:47. > :59:47.intriguing. Still to come on Breakfast:

:59:48. > :59:50.We will have an in-depth look through the Sunday papers,

:59:51. > :59:52.in about 20 minutes' time. That is after the headlines,

:59:53. > :59:54.in just a moment. This is Breakfast,

:59:55. > :00:31.with Sian Lloyd and Ben Thompson. Its ambassador to the UK apologises

:00:32. > :00:34.after an embassy official is secretly filmed discussing how to

:00:35. > :00:40."take down" a Conservative minister. The official told an undercover

:00:41. > :00:43.reporter that Sir Alan Duncan was causing "lots of

:00:44. > :00:47.problems" for the Israelis. And is seen describing

:00:48. > :00:49.the Foreign Secretary, Theresa May sets out

:00:50. > :01:10.her vision for Britain. The Prime Minister says she wants

:01:52. > :01:55.in a few localities first thing. I will have more details

:01:56. > :01:58.if you join me in 15 minutes. The Israeli ambassador has

:01:59. > :02:10.apologised for comments which appear to show an embassy employee plotting

:02:11. > :02:13.to bring down a government minister. Undercover footage, filmed

:02:14. > :02:15.by Middle East news network Al Jazeera, shows an Israeli

:02:16. > :02:17.government employee saying he would like to take down

:02:18. > :02:20.the Foreign Office Minister The video also shows the official

:02:21. > :02:23.insulting Boris Johnson, The emergence of the footage

:02:24. > :02:29.is highly embarrassing It shows Shai Masot dining with,

:02:30. > :02:34.among others, an aide to the Conservative Education

:02:35. > :02:37.Minister Robert Halfon. Mr Masot, a senior political adviser

:02:38. > :02:40.at the Israeli Embassy, says he would like to bring down

:02:41. > :02:54.a member of the British Government. Sir Alan Duncan has been a fierce

:02:55. > :02:57.critic of Israeli policy. Just over two years ago,

:02:58. > :02:59.he described Israel's control and division of the West Bank city

:03:00. > :03:03.of Hebron as nothing short of apartheid, where Palestinians

:03:04. > :03:05.were treated as second-class In the covert footage,

:03:06. > :03:12.Mr Masot also describes Sir Alan's boss, Boris Johnson,

:03:13. > :03:19.in less than flattering terms. Sir Crispin Blunt, chair

:03:20. > :03:21.of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, described Mr Masot's

:03:22. > :03:23.comments about Sir Alan as outrageous and deserving

:03:24. > :03:28.of investigation. The director of the Conservative

:03:29. > :03:31.Friends of Israel said we utterly condemn any attempt to undermine

:03:32. > :03:34.Sir Alan Duncan, or any minister In a statement, the

:03:35. > :03:52.Foreign Office said: While the British Government is not

:03:53. > :03:54.taking any further action, the film raises uncomfortable

:03:55. > :03:56.questions about Mr Masot, and just how much influence

:03:57. > :03:59.he has been able to wield. Theresa May is promising

:04:00. > :04:07.to introduce wide-ranging social reforms to correct what she calls

:04:08. > :04:10.the "everyday injustices" faced In an article for

:04:11. > :04:16.the Sunday Telegraph, she says she wants to build

:04:17. > :04:19.a "shared society", with a commitment to fairness,

:04:20. > :04:22.and reveals a deliberate attempt to break away from her

:04:23. > :04:25.Tory predecessors. Our political correspondent

:04:26. > :04:27.Susana Mendonca joins us now. Susanna, what do you think she means

:04:28. > :04:46.by a "shared society"? Ed Miliband setback in 2015, and he

:04:47. > :04:51.we have Theresa May talking about this shared society -- said this.

:04:52. > :04:54.The idea is we should not focus on individual rights but on the

:04:55. > :04:58.responsibilities we have for one another. In the past, she says

:04:59. > :05:03.governments have been too focused on helping the poorest in society and

:05:04. > :05:07.eight are focus on helping people across the board. Distancing herself

:05:08. > :05:12.from previous Conservative leaders. David Cameron talked about the big

:05:13. > :05:21.society, about charities doing their bit, and Margaret Thatcher talked

:05:22. > :05:24.about there being no such thing as society. A very different message.

:05:25. > :05:27.In essence, we don't know if that means more money going from

:05:28. > :05:30.government to try to prove inequality. She has not talked about

:05:31. > :05:34.the detail. The reality is she wants to move away from discussions round

:05:35. > :05:37.Brexit and for the focus to be elsewhere. She does not want to

:05:38. > :05:40.premiership defined by that. That will be difficult this week. We have

:05:41. > :05:43.the Article 50 ruling by the Supreme Court expected and criticism from

:05:53. > :05:59.meeting with Donald Trump, the president-elect. She had been

:06:00. > :06:03.criticised for not having a close enough relationship to him. He has

:06:04. > :06:05.tweeted: In a post- Brexit world, Britain needs a good trading

:06:06. > :06:08.relationship with countries like America, so it is crucial for her.

:06:09. > :06:11.Good to talk to you. Thank you. Nicola Sturgeon has insisted

:06:12. > :06:13.she is not bluffing about the prospect of a second

:06:14. > :06:16.Scottish independence referendum. Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show,

:06:17. > :06:18.to be shown later this morning, the First Minister said

:06:19. > :06:22.she was prepared to call a fresh referendum if the terms

:06:23. > :06:25.of Brexit were not right. if they think I'm

:06:26. > :06:29.in any way bluffing. If it comes to the point,

:06:30. > :06:43.two years after Scotland being told in the independence referendum,

:06:44. > :06:46."Don't leave the UK," here we are - we voted to stay in the EU

:06:47. > :06:49.and we were told voting no was the only way to stay,

:06:50. > :06:53.and now we face being taken out. That creates a much more fundamental

:06:54. > :06:55.question for Scotland. Labour is calling on the Prime

:06:56. > :06:59.Minister to approve a ?700 million emergency cash injection to help

:07:00. > :07:01.the NHS through the winter. It comes after the British

:07:26. > :07:28.by the biggest rail union, the RMT. Let's give you a few more details

:07:29. > :07:32.of what could be a chaotic week for rail commuters in

:10:50. > :10:53.us and wider afield in the next few minutes. Let's return to our main

:10:54. > :10:55.story. This morning Theresa May will be

:10:56. > :10:58.setting out her new approach, Political commentators say it's

:10:59. > :11:01.the most she's revealed about her politics since

:11:02. > :11:13.she entered Number 10. Are they just a distraction from the

:11:14. > :11:19.big job at hand, Brexit? for the Sunday Times,

:11:20. > :11:30.and he joins us now This is a big week for Theresa May.

:11:31. > :11:35.Lots of announcements. Let's start with this idea of big society. It is

:11:36. > :11:40.a concept we have heard a lot about and we have heard about it from the

:11:41. > :11:45.other side of the political fence. It is the shared society, not big

:11:46. > :11:50.society, and that is the point. Theresa May became Prime Minister

:11:51. > :11:53.very quickly. She did not go through a long leadership election, which is

:11:54. > :11:58.where you normally spell out who you are and what you are about. Since

:11:59. > :12:03.she became leader, the whole leadership has been dominated by

:12:04. > :12:07.Brexit. What Downing Street wanted to do early in January is come out

:12:08. > :12:11.and say, this is a Prime Minister who is about more than just Brexit.

:12:12. > :12:15.She has a lot of social reform instincts and it will be making a

:12:16. > :12:19.series of speeches to explain that. Some people see her as the new

:12:20. > :12:23.Margaret Thatcher. But she said there was no such thing as society.

:12:24. > :12:27.David Cameron said there is a big society. It is not the same thing as

:12:28. > :12:33.the state. Theresa May is coming in as a Conservative Prime Minister

:12:34. > :12:37.saying, look, there is such thing as society, and government is needed to

:12:38. > :12:40.try to help connect people to strengthen the bonds between

:12:41. > :12:44.community is. This is quite a departure certainly for Margaret

:12:45. > :12:48.Thatcher and even David Cameron. Certainly, as she lay out, Theresa

:12:49. > :12:52.May is suggesting there is a need for society but also for government

:12:53. > :12:55.to manage that society. I suppose the question is whether the

:12:56. > :12:58.government can afford it. We are told in these tough economic times

:12:59. > :13:03.the government does not have the money to enable it to do what it

:13:04. > :13:06.wants to do. Can it afford to do this? I think what the government

:13:07. > :13:10.will try to do in Theresa May's vision is bring people together.

:13:11. > :13:18.Yes, David Cameron sort of said let's get charities and local groups

:13:19. > :13:23.involved, doing the things the state used to do. What Theresa May says is

:13:24. > :13:26.left to their own devices, that does not necessarily work. The state has

:13:27. > :13:29.leadership and it has the ability to work out what is working in

:13:30. > :13:32.different communities and spread those ideas and bring people

:13:33. > :13:36.together. I think that is what she is attempting to do, bring the two

:13:37. > :13:42.ideas together. We also get some news this week on what may happen as

:13:43. > :13:46.far as Brexit is concerned. Some suggesting that this idea of shared

:13:47. > :13:50.societies are a distraction from the real job at hand. The real job at

:13:51. > :13:55.hand is Brexit. Is that if you you share? Well, as I say, they are

:13:56. > :14:00.certainly trying to distract the public's attention from Brexit, but

:14:01. > :14:04.unfortunately the resignation of Sir Ivan Rogers means it is all over the

:14:05. > :14:08.front pages again this morning. Theresa May knows that government

:14:09. > :14:11.will be defined by how she performs on Brexit, and her first cabinet

:14:12. > :14:16.meeting on the subject is this Thursday. The government is waiting

:14:17. > :14:20.for the ruling by the Supreme Court, which they are expecting to lose,

:14:21. > :14:23.which will tell them they need to pass legislation before they can

:14:24. > :14:27.trigger Article 50, which kickstarted the whole process.

:14:28. > :14:31.Brexit is very much at the forefront of ministers' minds, but Theresa

:14:32. > :14:35.May, with a speech on Monday, is trying to say there is more to my

:14:36. > :14:40.government the night. She knows full well how she performs on Brexit will

:14:41. > :14:44.form the first line of her political obituary. I have looked at the

:14:45. > :14:48.article you have written on the front page of the times looking at

:14:49. > :14:52.the role of Sir Ivan Rogers and whether it is an orderly or

:14:53. > :14:56.disorderly Brexit. That really will be the key, the fact he had a

:14:57. > :15:02.meeting with David Cameron beforehand also throws some doubt

:15:03. > :15:05.over those negotiations. Well, Ivan Rogers left partly because they did

:15:06. > :15:09.not want in there and partly because he had had enough of Theresa May and

:15:10. > :15:15.her team. The thing that concerned Ivan Rogers was that in the planning

:15:16. > :15:19.that ministers are doing, there is a lot of talk about hard and soft and

:15:20. > :15:23.clean Brexit. He is worried about a disorderly Brexit where we try to do

:15:24. > :15:28.a deal with the other 27 countries and for whatever reason, that proves

:15:29. > :15:32.to be impossible, and he thinks this is a 50-50 chance that we go

:15:33. > :15:36.crashing out of the EU in a couple of years, and if that happens, he

:15:37. > :15:40.thinks the government needs to be prepared. It could be fairly

:15:41. > :15:43.difficult economically. One of the reasons he left was because Downing

:15:44. > :15:49.Street thought he was briefing the media and felt he was too much of a

:15:50. > :15:52.sort of Ramona character. It will interest them greatly he has been

:15:53. > :15:56.going off and having breakfast with the former Prime Minister, David

:15:57. > :16:02.Cameron, who of course was the leader of the remaining forces. That

:16:03. > :16:07.will not be guaranteed to calm down their nerves over their breakfast

:16:08. > :16:11.this morning. It is good to talk to you. Thank you for talking to us.

:16:12. > :16:16.Here is Helen with a look at this morning's weather.

:16:17. > :16:23.Hello. Good morning to you. It is not quite as foggy as it was this

:16:24. > :16:28.time yesterday, but the benign, settled weather continues with those

:16:29. > :16:31.problems with fog, particularly across the Salisbury Plain this

:16:32. > :16:34.morning and also in the Vale of York where it is not just fold, it is

:16:35. > :16:39.freezing fog. Temperatures with clear skies have got below freezing

:16:40. > :16:42.but for most of us it is a mild and murky start and the improvements

:16:43. > :16:46.today will just be slow. That blanket of cloud sitting on the

:16:47. > :16:49.hills, hence the hill fog for the most part. Again, the sunshine will

:16:50. > :16:53.be quite limited but there should be some around and an incursion of more

:16:54. > :16:57.rain for the north-west of Scotland. That is the first change coming our

:16:58. > :17:03.way later today, and it would be quite changeable week whether for so

:17:04. > :17:06.the best of any changes east of Scotland will be in the Grampians,

:17:07. > :17:11.some brightness and patchy rain and drizzle for Northern Ireland, mild

:17:12. > :17:15.and cloudy, a breezy sort of day. For northern England some freezing

:17:16. > :17:18.fog on the Vale of York but some brightness is of the Pennines,

:17:19. > :17:22.possibly north-eastern parts of Wales as well and it shouldn't be as

:17:23. > :17:26.bank across the south-west as yesterday. We will be considerably

:17:27. > :17:29.milder than across in Central and eastern Europe as you have been

:17:30. > :17:33.hearing. It is bitterly cold and there are red warnings out for the

:17:34. > :17:38.temperatures, the ice and the snow and a bracing north-easterly wind

:17:39. > :17:42.which is accentuated in the severe windchill in these areas. We are

:17:43. > :17:45.seeing a change to our weather later on today and overnight, that is in

:17:46. > :17:53.the form of wet and windy weather. Gail or severe gales in the far

:17:54. > :17:57.north of Scotland and for most of us it will be a cooler night. Rain

:17:58. > :18:01.coming in, horrible rush-hour for the North and it quickly brightens

:18:02. > :18:05.up so we get the sunshine back but temperatures will drop down to about

:18:06. > :18:09.four Celsius. Wintry showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland,

:18:10. > :18:13.another season by the end of the day. While we remain mild, wet and

:18:14. > :18:18.breezy in some areas so it is all change, as I say. Initially we have

:18:19. > :18:21.this benign and mild weather but from mid week on we have a screaming

:18:22. > :18:25.northerly potentially coming down so much colder with some wintry

:18:26. > :18:31.weather, some snow potentially, especially in the north and east.

:18:32. > :18:33.Thank you very much. Looks like it is turning colder and wetter.

:18:34. > :18:36.Now, lots of us will be feeling the pinch after Christmas,

:18:37. > :18:40.but new figures suggest the average household in the UK now has more

:18:41. > :18:41.unsecured debt than ever before, almost ?13,000.

:18:42. > :18:44.That is before mortgages are even taken into account.

:18:45. > :18:47.The TUC, which analysed official figures, says it shows families

:18:48. > :18:49.are struggling to get by on their pay alone,

:18:50. > :18:52.but officials at the Bank of England maintain debt levels are falling.

:18:53. > :18:55.Let's discuss this more now with Jane Tully from the National

:18:56. > :19:15.Good morning to you. It is a familiar tale, isn't it? The credit

:19:16. > :19:18.card bills arrive in the post after Christmas, and people have had a

:19:19. > :19:24.blowout in the harsh reality that they have to pay it back. It is, and

:19:25. > :19:28.this is one of the busiest January is we have had in recent years at

:19:29. > :19:32.National Debtline. The bills start to land and people realise they have

:19:33. > :19:36.to pay them back and lots of people look at their finances and knew at

:19:37. > :19:39.the beginning of the year and they seek help and advice. What sorts of

:19:40. > :19:44.things people asking you when they do call your helpline? What sorts of

:19:45. > :19:48.advice can you give? Our advice to people is some pretty obvious

:19:49. > :19:52.things, but unfortunately not always things that people do. Very often

:19:53. > :19:56.people contact us because they really are in financial difficulty.

:19:57. > :20:01.They find themselves experiencing some form of unexpected

:20:02. > :20:04.circumstances or life shocks, so it could be a redundancy, a

:20:05. > :20:07.bereavement, which has brought about financial difficulties for them, and

:20:08. > :20:11.the advice always starts with setting a Budget, think about what

:20:12. > :20:16.money you have coming in and going out. January is a great time to do

:20:17. > :20:19.it, start now and the rest of the year and look at that every month

:20:20. > :20:24.and use it as a guideline. Secondly we would say to people make sure you

:20:25. > :20:28.open your statements. It is so easy to bury your head in the sand if you

:20:29. > :20:32.have other stresses in life at that particular time. So make sure you

:20:33. > :20:36.open them, and thirdly, take advice from the three agencies which are

:20:37. > :20:42.out there because we know that about 40% of our callers wait at least a

:20:43. > :20:48.year before contacting us. In that time they are carrying all the

:20:49. > :20:52.stress and worry. And that is the issue, as it snowballs and becomes

:20:53. > :20:55.bigger and bigger, and becomes a bigger problem. That is the advice

:20:56. > :20:59.for someone who is maybe just getting into debt. If you already

:21:00. > :21:06.have a massive debt and you don't know where to start, what should you

:21:07. > :21:11.be Is it about consolidating and trying to have fewer debts, or just

:21:12. > :21:15.paying it off? You start off with your primary debts, your household

:21:16. > :21:20.bills. Your energy, council tax, your mortgage and rent. There may be

:21:21. > :21:24.a consequence if you don't manage to pay them off. In those cases it is

:21:25. > :21:29.always helpful to contact an agency like ours and to contact creditors

:21:30. > :21:35.because they can be very helpful in helping you negotiate some form of

:21:36. > :21:41.repayment. If we look at the wider picture, obviously the TUC research

:21:42. > :21:44.with regard to average family incomes, they are more in debt than

:21:45. > :21:48.ever. What is your response to that? We are certainly seeing a lot of

:21:49. > :21:52.struggling households at the moment, we know there is an uncertain

:21:53. > :21:56.economic climate and borrowing is at its highest level in years. That is

:21:57. > :21:59.a concern to us at the moment because if the economy does it in

:22:00. > :22:05.anyway, if there are challenges over the next year or two, there is a

:22:06. > :22:09.significant minority of families who will really struggle. So with wage

:22:10. > :22:14.growth fairly or stagnant that is cause for us to be watchful and

:22:15. > :22:16.vigilant over the next little while. Thank you very much, and thanks for

:22:17. > :22:20.the advice as well. The Andrew Marr Programme is

:22:21. > :22:30.on BBC One this morning at 9:00am. As you probably know by now, my main

:22:31. > :22:36.guest is Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland. She is issuing

:22:37. > :22:42.a direct league this morning to Theresa May, saying the bus in the

:22:43. > :22:45.single market or Scotland will have another independence referendum

:22:46. > :22:48.within about the next 2.5 years. London says she is bluffing, she

:22:49. > :22:53.says she is not laughing and really means this. That is interesting. I

:22:54. > :23:00.am joined by the great Joanna Scanlon, the star of the Thick of

:23:01. > :23:04.It, talking about the new shared society, what does it really mean?

:23:05. > :23:06.And there will be the usual Morris dancing, bad jokes, all you expect.

:23:07. > :23:08.At nine a.m.. You are watching

:23:09. > :23:10.Breakfast from BBC News. It is time now for a look

:23:11. > :23:16.at the newspapers. Reverend Sally Hitchiner

:23:17. > :23:28.is here to tell us what has Good morning. Lovely to see you. We

:23:29. > :23:33.will head straight inside and the first thing which has caught your

:23:34. > :23:37.eye is the end of trained chemists. It is only one story, it is quite

:23:38. > :23:42.small but it struck me as being incredibly important. Local chemist

:23:43. > :23:46.shops, local pharmacy shops, are apparently run by a mixture of

:23:47. > :23:50.technicians and trained chemists who go through up to five years of

:23:51. > :23:55.training, and the trained... The senior chemists are going to be

:23:56. > :24:01.dropped from lots of shops as part of a ?3 million cut from the

:24:02. > :24:08.government and at pharmacies in particular. -- aimed at pharmacies.

:24:09. > :24:11.And the technicians, who are often only a level trained, will be

:24:12. > :24:15.running the entire shop. My perspective is that this is very

:24:16. > :24:19.shocking, actually. It is something that we need to be aware of, and

:24:20. > :24:26.very concerned about. Many people in the face of cuts to GPs, and it is

:24:27. > :24:32.more and more difficult to get seen at A if you need to, are using

:24:33. > :24:37.chemists and pharmacists as a way of managing minor ailments. How many

:24:38. > :24:40.people know that you can do that? I think there is a tendency to go into

:24:41. > :24:45.the chemist, hand over your prescription and you get what the

:24:46. > :24:49.doctor prescribed. Not that many people know you can go and ask for

:24:50. > :24:54.advice. It is a total mixture and there is a mix of people who do and

:24:55. > :24:57.don't do this and perhaps what we need to do is maybe boost GPs'

:24:58. > :25:01.surgeries so there are people you can walk in and get quick advice

:25:02. > :25:05.from there. There are not many places that you can actually just

:25:06. > :25:10.walk in and say I have a split in migraine, which is the best thing to

:25:11. > :25:13.take for that? You wouldn't want to book a GPs appointment for that but

:25:14. > :25:17.you can walk into your local chemist and get expert, professional advice

:25:18. > :25:20.about which drugs are best to take. I do think this is part of a wider

:25:21. > :25:26.colour concerning trend about cutting things in frontline care --

:25:27. > :25:31.wider, concerning trend. And the Department of Health are saying that

:25:32. > :25:34.any changes to who can dispense medicines will be properly consulted

:25:35. > :25:41.and they won't compromise patient safety. At the level of consultation

:25:42. > :25:48.at the moment, but if it were to be implemented, personally I'm not sure

:25:49. > :25:52.how it could have no bad consequence on safety of patients, but I do

:25:53. > :25:56.trust that the Department of Health spokesperson is saying that. Let's

:25:57. > :26:02.take a look at another story in the Telegraph, giving into students will

:26:03. > :26:09.harm standards. Explain this story. The snowflake student story. I work

:26:10. > :26:11.for a university and we are very professional, we were closely with

:26:12. > :26:17.our students in terms of providing the levels of training and education

:26:18. > :26:21.that we provide. I am picking up a trend across universities across the

:26:22. > :26:27.country where people are full of anxiety about the new trend, because

:26:28. > :26:31.students are paying more and more in terms of their fees, their

:26:32. > :26:36.expectations are higher and higher. And there is a new proposal being

:26:37. > :26:40.put to the Lords, the House of Lords, they are kicking up a big

:26:41. > :26:44.fuss where it places student satisfaction at the heart of where

:26:45. > :26:50.the universities are considered good or bad in the league tables. And

:26:51. > :26:55.this is amidst massive changes in how universities are having to be

:26:56. > :27:00.careful about providing safe space, which can mean that students don't

:27:01. > :27:05.feel extremely offended by things, or don't hear speakers that are

:27:06. > :27:09.extremely offensive, or considered dangerous by them, for example

:27:10. > :27:15.political or religious opinions that are considered difficult to hear.

:27:16. > :27:20.Personally I think university should be a place for debate. I think we

:27:21. > :27:24.should discuss things robustly in a university, and this worry of vice

:27:25. > :27:27.chancellors at the moment, and a number of vice chancellors are

:27:28. > :27:30.quoted in this article saying they are filled with anxiety and they

:27:31. > :27:35.feel they can't do their jobs well as professionals in providing

:27:36. > :27:39.education. There is a point, I suppose, as you rightly point out,

:27:40. > :27:42.the fees for university are getting higher and higher so in certain

:27:43. > :27:46.respects the student is the customer and they will say I need to be

:27:47. > :27:50.satisfied, I am paying you a lot of money. And it has changed, I was

:27:51. > :27:55.talking to my colleagues about when lecturers go on strike. 20 years ago

:27:56. > :28:00.the students would have been on strike with them. Ten years ago they

:28:01. > :28:03.were glad of the day off and now they are suing their university,

:28:04. > :28:07.because their fees are so high. We are here on the BBC News Channel

:28:08. > :28:10.until 9am this morning, and coming up here on Breakfast this

:28:11. > :28:13.morning: Last year saw the worst disorder in British

:28:14. > :28:20.prisons for two decades. Now, figures obtained by the BBC

:28:21. > :28:23.show a huge increase in ambulance We will be speaking to the explorer
