This is Breakfast, with Sian Lloyd and Ben Thompson.

:00:00.:00:00.

Its ambassador to the UK apologises after an embassy official

:00:00.:00:10.

is secretly filmed discussing how to damage the career

:00:11.:00:12.

The diplomat suggests he wants to "take down" Sir Alan Duncan

:00:13.:00:22.

because he's creating problems for the Israelis,

:00:23.:00:24.

and is seen describing the Foreign Secretary,

:00:25.:00:26.

Theresa May sets out her vision for Britain.

:00:27.:00:47.

The Prime Minister says she wants to build a "shared society"

:00:48.:00:50.

London Underground staff get ready to start a 24-hour strike tonight

:00:51.:00:56.

as millions of commuters face a chaotic start to the week.

:00:57.:01:07.

In Iraq war veteran has been charged after five people were shot dead at

:01:08.:01:12.

Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida. Three Premier League sides

:01:13.:01:15.

are knocked out by lower league opposition in the FA

:01:16.:01:18.

Cup third round - among them Bournemouth,

:01:19.:01:20.

who were beaten 3-0 Good morning. A very similar date to

:01:21.:01:32.

yesterday weatherwise. It is grey and misty with fog in a few

:01:33.:01:36.

localities first thing. I will have more details if you join me in 15

:01:37.:01:39.

minutes. Thank you, Helen. The Israeli ambassador has

:01:40.:01:41.

apologised for comments which appear to show a diplomat plotting to bring

:01:42.:01:44.

down a government minister. Undercover footage, filmed

:01:45.:01:47.

by Middle East news network Al Jazeera, shows an Israeli

:01:48.:01:49.

government employee saying he would like to take down

:01:50.:01:51.

the Foreign Office Minister insulting Foreign

:01:52.:01:54.

Secretary Boris Johnson. The emergence of the footage

:01:55.:02:03.

is highly embarrassing It shows Shai Masot dining with,

:02:04.:02:07.

among others, an aide to the Conservative Education

:02:08.:02:12.

Minister Robert Halfon. Mr Masot, a senior political adviser

:02:13.:02:15.

at the Israeli Embassy, says he would like to bring down

:02:16.:02:18.

a member of the British Government. Sir Alan Duncan has been a fierce

:02:19.:02:30.

critic of Israeli policy. Just over two years ago,

:02:31.:02:34.

he described Israel's control and division of the West Bank city

:02:35.:02:37.

of Hebron as nothing short of apartheid, where Palestinians

:02:38.:02:40.

were treated as second-class In the covert footage,

:02:41.:02:42.

Mr Masot also describes Sir Alan's boss, Boris Johnson,

:02:43.:02:49.

in less than flattering terms. Sir Crispin Blunt, chair

:02:50.:02:55.

of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, described Mr Masot's

:02:56.:02:58.

comments about Sir Alan as outrageous and deserving

:02:59.:03:00.

of investigation. The director of the Conservative

:03:01.:03:06.

Friends of Israel said we utterly condemn any attempt to undermine

:03:07.:03:09.

Sir Alan Duncan, or any minister In a statement, the

:03:10.:03:12.

Foreign Office said: While the British Government is not

:03:13.:03:28.

taking any further action, the film raises uncomfortable

:03:29.:03:31.

questions about Mr Masot, and just how much influence

:03:32.:03:33.

he has been able to wield. Theresa May is promising

:03:34.:03:40.

to introduce wide-ranging social reforms to correct what she calls

:03:41.:03:45.

the "everyday injustices" faced In an article for

:03:46.:03:47.

the Sunday Telegraph, she says she wants to

:03:48.:03:52.

build a "shared society" with a commitment to fairness,

:03:53.:03:55.

and reveals a deliberate attempt to break away from her

:03:56.:03:57.

Tory predecessors. Our political correspondent,

:03:58.:04:00.

Susana Mendonca, joins us now Susanna, what do you think she means

:04:01.:04:03.

by a "shared society"? It is a phrase we have heard before.

:04:04.:04:16.

Ed Miliband, the former Labour leader, use this phrase back in

:04:17.:04:21.

2015. Interesting that we have a Conservative Prime Minister using

:04:22.:04:25.

the same language. It is very different language to the kind of

:04:26.:04:28.

thing we heard from David Cameron, the former Conservative leader, who

:04:29.:04:33.

talked about having a big society, where charities were very much

:04:34.:04:37.

involved in dealing with inequality. Margaret Thatcher famously said

:04:38.:04:41.

there was no such thing as society. Theresa May is talking about a

:04:42.:04:45.

shared society, and says in the past governments have not really focused

:04:46.:04:48.

on trying to help people as much as they should. Our focus has been on

:04:49.:04:57.

the individual and we need to be thinking about the responsibilities

:04:58.:05:00.

we have for one another. Very little detail on how she will make that

:05:01.:05:04.

happen. She wants to shift the focus away from talk of Brexit which will

:05:05.:05:07.

be difficult because the Supreme Court ruling is expected. She has

:05:08.:05:10.

ongoing criticism from people within the political spectrum about her

:05:11.:05:12.

dealings with the Brexit negotiations. We know they are

:05:13.:05:15.

supposed to be happening. For her, one good bit of news is that Donald

:05:16.:05:21.

Trump, the President-elect, she has been criticised for not having a

:05:22.:05:24.

closer relationship to him. He has twittered about her overnight

:05:25.:05:30.

saying: We know that meeting will be happening. Britain needs close trade

:05:31.:05:34.

relations with countries like the US in a post- Brexit 12. OK, for now,

:05:35.:05:38.

thank you. -- post Brexit world. Nicola Sturgeon has insisted

:05:39.:05:42.

she is not bluffing about the prospect of a second

:05:43.:05:44.

Scottish independence referendum. Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show,

:05:45.:05:46.

to be shown later this morning, Ms Sturgeon said

:05:47.:05:49.

she was prepared to call a fresh referendum if the terms

:05:50.:05:52.

of Brexit were not right. They will be making a big mistake if

:05:53.:06:03.

they think I'm in anyway bluffing. If it comes to the point, two years

:06:04.:06:13.

after Scotland being told the didn't leave the UK, we voted to stay in

:06:14.:06:17.

the EU and we were told voting there was the only way to stay, and now we

:06:18.:06:21.

face being taken out. That creates a much more fundamental question for

:06:22.:06:23.

Scotland. Labour is calling on the Prime

:06:24.:06:24.

Minister to approve a ?700 million emergency cash injection to help

:06:25.:06:28.

the NHS through the winter. It comes after the British

:06:29.:06:30.

Red Cross claimed there was a "humanitarian crisis"

:06:31.:06:32.

in hospitals in England. The Shadow Health Secretary,

:06:33.:06:35.

Jonathan Ashworth, said Mrs May needed to ensure that "this year's

:06:36.:06:37.

crisis" never happened again. A 24-hour strike by London

:06:38.:06:41.

Underground workers, Unions are angry about job losses

:06:42.:06:43.

and the closure of ticket offices. Transport for London says it's put

:06:44.:06:53.

a new deal on the table, but that's been rejected

:06:54.:06:56.

by the biggest rail union, the RMT. Let's give you a few more details

:06:57.:07:00.

of what could be a chaotic week for rail commuters in

:07:01.:07:04.

the south-east of England. The 24-hour London Underground

:07:05.:07:07.

strike begins at 6.00pm tonight. The majority of central London Tube

:07:08.:07:12.

stations will be closed. There will also be a limited

:07:13.:07:17.

services on other Tube lines And it could be the first

:07:18.:07:20.

in a series of rail Drivers on Southern rail are due

:07:21.:07:26.

to walk out on Tuesday, And there are a further three

:07:27.:07:30.

strikes planned for the week after on the 24th, 25th

:07:31.:07:35.

and 27th of January. That could mean yet more misery for

:07:36.:07:49.

passengers. We will have all of the latest on that for you as we get it.

:07:50.:07:52.

An American war veteran has been charged over the shooting

:07:53.:07:54.

at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida, in which five people died.

:07:55.:07:58.

Esteban Santiago, who's 26, could face the death penalty

:07:59.:08:00.

It's emerged that one of the victims, a woman

:08:01.:08:03.

in her eighties, was born in Britain.

:08:04.:08:05.

Our correspondent Gary O'Donoghue has more from Fort Lauderdale.

:08:06.:08:12.

She was a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother,

:08:13.:08:16.

but had lived in the United States for decades.

:08:17.:08:23.

She was on her way to join a cruise ship to celebrate her husband's 90th

:08:24.:08:31.

birthday. Also among the dead was Michael, also heading for a cruise

:08:32.:08:36.

ship with his wife. She was shot, but survived. Three others died on

:08:37.:08:43.

Friday's carnage as the gunmen used a semiautomatic weapon in the

:08:44.:08:46.

baggage hall, scattering terrified passengers. This is the man police

:08:47.:08:51.

have charged with causing death and serious injury. His Esteban

:08:52.:08:55.

Santiago, a 26-year-old former member of the military. He has

:08:56.:08:59.

mental health problems. His aunt says he was never the same after

:09:00.:09:03.

returning from a tour of duty in Iraq. As things started to return to

:09:04.:09:08.

normal at the airport, it has emerged that Santiago had told FBI

:09:09.:09:11.

agents that the government and the CIA were forcing him to watch videos

:09:12.:09:17.

from the Islamic State group. That prompted a mental health assessment,

:09:18.:09:22.

during which a gun was confiscated, but later returned. FBI says

:09:23.:09:25.

Santiago has been questioned at length. Esteban Santiago will appear

:09:26.:09:32.

in court tomorrow. The FBI says he is cooperating with investigators,

:09:33.:09:36.

and agents have spoken to other members of his family. At this

:09:37.:09:40.

stage, they don't believe he was operating with any other

:09:41.:09:40.

individuals. Gary O'Donoghue, BBC News,

:09:41.:09:41.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The number of ambulances called

:09:42.:09:43.

to English prisons has risen by almost 40% in

:09:44.:09:46.

the last three years, according to figures

:09:47.:09:48.

seen by the BBC. There were almost 10,000 call-outs

:09:49.:09:50.

to England's 117 jails and young offenders' institutions

:09:51.:09:53.

in the 10 months to October, 2016 saw the worst disorder in

:09:54.:10:12.

British prisons for two decades. With critics of the Ministry of

:10:13.:10:17.

Justice blaming overcrowding and staff cuts for increases in violent,

:10:18.:10:22.

drug overdoses and suicide attempts. While ambulances are sometimes

:10:23.:10:26.

called when an inmate is Sikh, they are also needed to respond to these

:10:27.:10:31.

incidents. The BBC asked every ambulance trust in England to find

:10:32.:10:35.

out how often they have been called to one of the 117 jails in England

:10:36.:10:39.

between January and October last year -- ill. The figures show during

:10:40.:10:44.

that time, 10,000 ambulances were needed. That is one on average every

:10:45.:10:50.

45 minutes. Twice the number it was five years ago. Paramedics have told

:10:51.:10:54.

the BBC that this is putting an increased strain on services. The

:10:55.:10:59.

Justice Secretary, Liz Truss, has promised to spend ?1.4 billion on

:11:00.:11:03.

new prisons and says she will provide an extra 2000 prison

:11:04.:11:04.

officers. You can hear more on BBC 5

:11:05.:11:07.

Live Investigates today at 11.00. The average household in the UK now

:11:08.:11:13.

has a record amount of unsecured That's before mortgages

:11:14.:11:17.

are even taken into account. The TUC, which analysed official

:11:18.:11:22.

figures, says it shows families are struggling to get

:11:23.:11:25.

by on their pay alone, but officials at the Bank of England

:11:26.:11:27.

maintain debt levels are falling. With Christmas is over, many of us

:11:28.:11:42.

will be poring over our bank statements to check our finances. It

:11:43.:11:45.

appears that some of us are taking on increasing amounts of unsecured

:11:46.:11:50.

debt, including overdrafts, student loans, credit cards and personal

:11:51.:11:56.

loans. Analysis of official data by the TUC shows the average amount of

:11:57.:11:59.

unsecured borrowing per household has doubled since 2000 to ?12,819.

:12:00.:12:06.

Furthermore, the proportion of unsecured debt in proportion to the

:12:07.:12:10.

personal income has dropped from 21% to almost 28%. Weaving a record

:12:11.:12:16.

total of unsecured debt of ?349 billion in Britain. We are worried

:12:17.:12:19.

about that because we are expecting to see a slowdown in wages and an

:12:20.:12:23.

increase in inflation next year, meaning households can find it much

:12:24.:12:27.

harder to service those debts and to pay off the debt they owe. But while

:12:28.:12:31.

unsecured debt is rising, secured borrowing such as home loans is

:12:32.:12:35.

becoming more affordable. The Bank of England says mortgage arrears and

:12:36.:12:40.

defaults have been steadily declining since 2011. But

:12:41.:12:42.

policymakers are worried nonetheless that many of us are taking on too

:12:43.:12:48.

much debt, which may become an issue if the economy weakens in 2017.

:12:49.:12:51.

Cold weather across a number of European countries has left more

:12:52.:12:54.

than 20 people dead over the last two days.

:12:55.:12:56.

These icy pictures show snow blizzards sweeping across parts

:12:57.:12:59.

of Romania, one of the worst-affected areas,

:13:00.:13:01.

where over 500 people were stranded in their cars.

:13:02.:13:03.

Ten people lost their lives in Poland, where temperatures

:13:04.:13:06.

And in Turkey, flights were cancelled this weekend

:13:07.:13:12.

after heavy snow and icy conditions were forecast for Istanbul.

:13:13.:13:23.

Helen can bring us up-to-date with the weather. We are seeing those icy

:13:24.:13:31.

pictures there across Europe. A huge swathe of blue behind you. Yes, good

:13:32.:13:37.

morning. It is exceptionally cold at the moment. The other issue we have

:13:38.:13:42.

is a screaming northerly wind exaggerating the chill. They are red

:13:43.:13:45.

warnings out, the most severe type you get across many parts as far

:13:46.:13:51.

south as Greece. That of course is for the ice, snow and those

:13:52.:13:55.

unbelievably low temperatures, -21 today in Moscow and heavy snow in

:13:56.:14:00.

Lesbos yesterday. The fountains in St Peter 's Square in Rome froze

:14:01.:14:03.

over. It is really bitter at the moment. That northerly wind is

:14:04.:14:07.

heading our way later next week. For the time being, back in the UK, it

:14:08.:14:12.

is fairly benign weather. We have high pressure with us. Fog around

:14:13.:14:16.

and a freezing fog in fact with clear skies overnight in the Vale of

:14:17.:14:21.

York. Enough to bring temperatures to freezing. Icy patches as well as

:14:22.:14:25.

poor visibility and perhaps towards the north-east of Scotland. Every

:14:26.:14:29.

big grey and misty start for most of us. Hill fog quite widely with

:14:30.:14:33.

patchy drizzle across the south-west of Wales. Using a weight slowly.

:14:34.:14:39.

Perhaps brighter, the afternoon, but in contrast, more rain later today

:14:40.:14:42.

and a strengthening wind bringing rain with cows in the north-west of

:14:43.:14:47.

Scotland later. Perhaps as a consequence, more brightness in

:14:48.:14:51.

eastern parts of Scotland and is the part of Northern Ireland. On the

:14:52.:14:54.

whole, patchy rain and drizzle towards the north and west. Further

:14:55.:14:58.

south, quite grey and damp this morning. Hopefully, we will see a

:14:59.:15:03.

little more brightness breaking through or slightly less grey, I

:15:04.:15:07.

suppose, by the time we get to this afternoon. If you're heading to the

:15:08.:15:11.

FA Cup third round continuing today, it is looking largely dry. Again,

:15:12.:15:15.

pretty cloudy for the dry and return home later on. Much changed through

:15:16.:15:21.

the night? Not for England and Mars. A murky affair. Towards the

:15:22.:15:25.

north-west, the rain starts to take shape as a weather front sweeping

:15:26.:15:29.

right across the country three to nine and because of tomorrow.

:15:30.:15:32.

Northern Ireland, Scotland and eventually northern England seeing

:15:33.:15:35.

wet and windy weather with severe gales. Temperatures down to four or

:15:36.:15:40.

five Celsius at the last. Relatively mild. Tomorrow, behind the weather

:15:41.:15:46.

front, we see a cold snap, but not as God is late in the week, with

:15:47.:15:54.

wintry showers over the hills. The wet weather is coming with Ita care.

:15:55.:15:57.

I will keep you up-to-date through the morning. -- brighter weather.

:15:58.:16:06.

Let's have a quick run through the papers. The Sunday Telegraph with

:16:07.:16:17.

our top story, the government has a duty to step in and tackle

:16:18.:16:22.

injustice, according to Theresa May, setting out her vision for Britain.

:16:23.:16:31.

A big departure from previous Tory leaders, not least David Cameron and

:16:32.:16:34.

Margaret Thatcher about the role that society plays in our everyday

:16:35.:16:37.

lives. The Sunday Times also has that story on the front, the PM

:16:38.:16:40.

launches shared society. They also have a story about Theresa May,

:16:41.:16:48.

saying that Sir Ivan Rogers is in secret talks with David Cameron

:16:49.:16:52.

before Christmas to warn him that Theresa May was watching Brexit. The

:16:53.:16:59.

Ambassador to the EU resigned last week after accusing the government

:17:00.:17:05.

of muddled thinking over Brexit. A big week for Theresa May, expecting

:17:06.:17:09.

to hear a lot about Brexit in the Cabinet meeting which gets under way

:17:10.:17:13.

later in the week. Theresa May urged to get a grip on the NHS as the

:17:14.:17:18.

winter crisis spirals. Under intense pressure, it says, this weekend to

:17:19.:17:21.

announce an emergency rescue plan in Parliament amid calls, or certainly

:17:22.:17:28.

warnings, that the NHS could run out of funding. And the Mail on Sunday,

:17:29.:17:32.

that story that we have been covering this morning. As it says,

:17:33.:17:36.

astonishing undercover video capturing a diplomat inspiring with

:17:37.:17:41.

rival MPs to smear the deputy Foreign Secretary.

:17:42.:17:44.

We will be back with the headlines at 6:30am.

:17:45.:17:46.

Now on Breakfast, it is time for The Film Review,

:17:47.:17:49.

Hello, and a very warm welcome to the Film Review.

:17:50.:18:05.

To take us through this week's cinema releases is Antonia Quirtke.

:18:06.:18:11.

We are going to start with Silence, Martin Scorsese's new film,

:18:12.:18:20.

Liam Neeson, Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, they are playing Jesuit

:18:21.:18:22.

Passengers, starring Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, about two

:18:23.:18:31.

passengers sleeping in suspended animation for 120 years on their way

:18:32.:18:34.

to a new colony on a far-away planet and they wake too early.

:18:35.:18:43.

And also, Assassin's Creed, Michael Fassbender's big movie,

:18:44.:18:45.

Let's kick off then with Silence, a great passion of Martin Scorsese,

:18:46.:18:57.

trying for years and years to get this made.

:18:58.:19:01.

First talk of it in 1990 with Daniel Day Lewis,

:19:02.:19:04.

Gael Garcia Bernal and Benicio Del Toro have been attached to it.

:19:05.:19:07.

He was famously brought up a devout Catholic,

:19:08.:19:09.

had a great and genuine interest in the priesthood,

:19:10.:19:14.

at one point he was going to join the priesthood, so Catholicism has

:19:15.:19:18.

Religion in his films, the Last Temptation of Christ

:19:19.:19:28.

and Kundun, but even something like Mean Streets,

:19:29.:19:32.

What is the religious Martin Scorsese like?

:19:33.:19:37.

This is a difficult film to watch, it is about the persecution

:19:38.:19:40.

and torture of priests and their flock.

:19:41.:19:51.

161 minutes, incredibly long, and relentless, long conversations

:19:52.:19:53.

reflecting Martin Scorsese's own ambiguity towards his own faith.

:19:54.:19:55.

I know that it has been very highly praised,

:19:56.:19:58.

and not many people have gone to see it, but it has been critically

:19:59.:20:01.

I think that there is a pulse of confusion in it, I was not clear

:20:02.:20:09.

what Martin Scorsese was trying to say.

:20:10.:20:12.

The directors he admires, religious directors,

:20:13.:20:15.

Carl Dreier, Joe Navarre, Robert Bresson, there is a euphoria

:20:16.:20:18.

And yet, you can't help think, this was Scorsese's moment to join

:20:19.:20:27.

the ranks of those kind of directors.

:20:28.:20:34.

I'm not sure that he has done it, but I know that many people

:20:35.:20:38.

Let's take a little clip here, for a preview.

:20:39.:20:42.

We have been forced to trample on the Lord.

:20:43.:20:55.

If we do not do what they want, then there could be danger

:20:56.:21:01.

They could be put in prison, they could be taken away forever.

:21:02.:21:07.

As you were saying, a long watch, a pretty gruelling watch,

:21:08.:21:35.

Absolutely, Andrew Garfield, when he played Spider-Man,

:21:36.:21:40.

that role did that young actor no favours and here he is,

:21:41.:21:43.

he has a quality of deeply inherent youthfulness and vulnerability,

:21:44.:21:48.

anyone who saw him in Never Let Me Go will remember that,

:21:49.:21:51.

and also, a Japanese actor, Issey Ogato, he plays

:21:52.:21:56.

the Grand Inquisitor in this, and he is an incredible actor,

:21:57.:21:59.

ingenious casting for Martin Scorsese.

:22:00.:22:00.

And this is a comedic actor, but he playing someone who does

:22:01.:22:04.

the most terrible things, he's a comedic actor,

:22:05.:22:06.

he has wonderful kabuki gestures, and the performance

:22:07.:22:08.

Something pretty different, Passengers - Silence,

:22:09.:22:16.

gruelling, is Passengers something easier?

:22:17.:22:21.

A lot fluffier, a lot more fun, this is about two passengers

:22:22.:22:25.

in suspended animation, hibernation for 120 years

:22:26.:22:27.

on their way to a new colony on a new planet and for reasons

:22:28.:22:30.

we will not go into, spoiler alerts, they wake up early.

:22:31.:22:33.

Wonderful idea, so two strangers facing an eternity together,

:22:34.:22:36.

walking endless corridors, gigantic spaceship, and,

:22:37.:22:38.

breaking into the entertainment facilities, and with their little

:22:39.:22:51.

wristbands, one of the funniest things is the ways in which there

:22:52.:23:01.

is even if no-one else existing, you are still slaves,

:23:02.:23:04.

your life had been formalised before you left Earth.

:23:05.:23:06.

Also this lovely simmering sexual tension between

:23:07.:23:08.

It would have been all right to leave it at that,

:23:09.:23:15.

but there is this derring-do, in the third act, not entirely

:23:16.:23:18.

You can feel moments where it is reaching for some

:23:19.:23:24.

tougher kind of glory, think of something like Alien

:23:25.:23:26.

and wandering the corridors of that spaceship, intensely sinister

:23:27.:23:29.

and threatening place to be, but this place looks pretty nice.

:23:30.:23:32.

I would not mind moving there myself!

:23:33.:23:34.

There are moments when you are shown how jerry-built this craft is,

:23:35.:23:37.

hammering away against things, putting fuses together to get things

:23:38.:23:42.

to work, that ought to have been frightening and made me feel how

:23:43.:23:53.

vulnerable these people are and yet it does not quite do that.

:23:54.:23:57.

There is a wonderful cameo, Michael Sheen plays

:23:58.:23:59.

And you can see that he is struggling with the part,

:24:00.:24:06.

trying to bring more to it than is there on the page,

:24:07.:24:10.

unfortunately, it is not on the page but it is fun.

:24:11.:24:12.

Let's talk about Assassin's Creed, which video game players will be

:24:13.:24:16.

very familiar with, based on the video game.

:24:17.:24:18.

Now they are based on video games(!) this is catastrophic...

:24:19.:24:25.

Nine instalments in this video franchise, one of those movies that

:24:26.:24:28.

has been long in production, lots of re-shoots, rejigs,

:24:29.:24:30.

starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons,

:24:31.:24:32.

To even begin to describe the plot, I am not sure there is any point!

:24:33.:24:37.

Assassins against Knights Templar, let's take a look.

:24:38.:24:54.

This is the actual one that your father used

:24:55.:25:04.

Your mother's death, not something a boy should ever be

:25:05.:25:18.

charitably, I am sure a lot of people will go

:25:19.:25:34.

Unbelievably incoherent, extraordinary, it is...

:25:35.:25:40.

It opens with three flashbacks, three flashbacks!

:25:41.:25:43.

What a flashback does in a film, someone is standing there

:25:44.:25:46.

and saying, hang on a sec, let me fill you in, and then they do

:25:47.:25:50.

Feels like the movie never starts, then you are in there and you feel

:25:51.:26:04.

I went to the cinema to see this, two people were asleep at the end

:26:05.:26:10.

of the row that I was sitting on, that sums it up.

:26:11.:26:15.

Best movie out at the moment, in your opinion.

:26:16.:26:23.

A Monster Calls, now this is the most extraordinary sell,

:26:24.:26:26.

actually, it is a fantastical terminal illness melodrama

:26:27.:26:29.

Maybe it is not for children, it stars a 12-year-old boy.

:26:30.:26:38.

He's visited by a Yew Tree, over a few evenings,

:26:39.:26:41.

and it is played by Liam Neeson, it has a wonderful shape,

:26:42.:26:44.

Dickensian shape, visited three times to be shown things that may

:26:45.:26:47.

It is a flat-out classic, it has the emotional heft

:26:48.:26:56.

of the Railway Children, moments of Iron Man by Ted Hughes

:26:57.:27:03.

and Pan's Labyrinth, I think it is a masterpiece,

:27:04.:27:05.

go and see it and take all of the family.

:27:06.:27:09.

Featured quite a lot in the Golden Globes nominations.

:27:10.:27:17.

Hell or High Water, Ben Foster and Chris Pine,

:27:18.:27:25.

they play bank robber Brothers, and Jeff Bridges is the Texas Ranger

:27:26.:27:28.

who is tracking them down, which sounds terribly familiar,

:27:29.:27:31.

that kind of plot, and features a great deal in cinema.

:27:32.:27:34.

One of them is on a roll, the other brother is a little too

:27:35.:27:37.

wild, the Texas Ranger is always a step ahead of them.

:27:38.:27:40.

It feels like a movie of the mid-1970s or early 1980s,

:27:41.:27:46.

like Midnight Run, where you come away from it thinking,

:27:47.:27:49.

you will look through the TV listings and think, Hell

:27:50.:27:51.

or High Water is on tonight, unmissable, fantastic!

:27:52.:27:54.

It has slotted into that classic film territory already,

:27:55.:27:56.

Jeff Bridges has been nominated for a Golden Globes

:27:57.:27:59.

for his Best Supporting Actor and he does the most fantastic thing

:28:00.:28:02.

There is a death scene and just in a couple of seconds you see

:28:03.:28:07.

everything that Jeff Bridges can offer as an actor,

:28:08.:28:10.

the way that he absorbs the shock, it is a magical moment,

:28:11.:28:13.

That is it for this week, thank you so much for watching, goodbye.

:28:14.:30:00.

This is Breakfast, with Sian Lloyd and Ben Thompson.

Coming up before 7.00, Helen will have the weather for you.

But first, a summary of this morning's main news.

:30:08.:30:10.

The Israeli ambassador to the UK has apologised after an embassy employee

:30:11.:30:14.

was secretly recorded discussing a plan to bring down

:30:15.:30:16.

Undercover footage, filmed by Middle East news network

:30:17.:30:21.

Al Jazeera, shows the official saying he would like to "take down"

:30:22.:30:25.

the Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan.

:30:26.:30:28.

The video also shows the official insulting

:30:29.:30:30.

The British says it considers the matter closed

:30:31.:30:35.

Theresa May is promising to introduce wide-ranging social

:30:36.:30:42.

reforms, to correct what she calls the "everyday injustices" faced

:30:43.:30:45.

In an article for the Sunday Telegraph,

:30:46.:30:50.

she says she wants to build a "shared society",

:30:51.:30:53.

with a commitment to fairness, and reveals a deliberate attempt

:30:54.:30:56.

to break away from her Tory predecessors.

:30:57.:30:59.

Her comments come ahead of a speech on Monday on social reform.

:31:00.:31:04.

Nicola Sturgeon has insisted she is not bluffing

:31:05.:31:06.

about the prospect of a second Scottish independence referendum.

:31:07.:31:09.

Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, to be shown later this

:31:10.:31:12.

morning, the First Minister said she was prepared to call a fresh

:31:13.:31:15.

referendum if the terms of Brexit were not right

:31:16.:31:21.

They will be making a big mistake if they think I'm

:31:22.:31:24.

If it comes to the point, two years after Scotland being told

:31:25.:31:41.

don't leave the UK, here we are - we voted to stay in the EU

:31:42.:31:46.

and we were told voting no was the only way to stay,

:31:47.:31:49.

That creates a much more fundamental question for Scotland.

:31:50.:31:54.

An American war veteran has been charged over the shooting

:31:55.:31:56.

at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida, in which five people died.

:31:57.:31:59.

Esteban Santiago, who's 26, could face the death penalty

:32:00.:32:02.

It's emerged that one of the victims, a woman

:32:03.:32:05.

in her eighties, was born in Britain.

:32:06.:32:10.

Our correspondent has more from Fort Lauderdale.

:32:11.:32:14.

His aunt says he was never the same after returning from a tour

:32:56.:32:59.

As things started to return to normal at the airport,

:33:00.:33:04.

it has emerged that Mr Santiago had told FBI agents that the government

and the CIA were forcing him to watch videos from

That prompted a mental health assessment, during which a gun

Esteban Santiago will appear in court tomorrow.

The FBI says he is cooperating with investigators, and agents have

:33:37.:33:46.

The number of ambulances called to English prisons has risen

:33:47.:33:49.

by almost 40$ in the last three years,

:33:50.:33:51.

according to figures seen by the BBC.

:33:52.:33:53.

There were almost 10,000 call-outs to England's 117 jails

:33:54.:33:56.

and young offenders' institutions in the 10 months to October.

:33:57.:34:03.

2016 saw the worst disorder in British prisons for two decades,

:34:04.:34:10.

with critics of the Ministry of Justice blaming overcrowding

:34:11.:34:12.

and staff cuts for increases in violence, drug overdoses

:34:13.:34:15.

While ambulances are sometimes called when an inmate is sick,

:34:16.:34:22.

they are also needed to respond to these incidents.

:34:23.:34:25.

The BBC asked every ambulance trust in England to find out how often

:34:26.:34:29.

they have been called to one of the 117 jails in England

:34:30.:34:32.

between January and October last year.

:34:33.:34:36.

The figures show during that time, 10,000 ambulances were needed.

:34:37.:34:41.

That is one on average every 45 minutes, twice the number

:34:42.:34:44.

Paramedics have told the BBC that this is putting an increased

The Justice Secretary, Liz Truss, has promised to spend ?1.4 billion

on new prisons and says she will provide an extra

was a big upset yesterday? There was, at a selected scene of

the drama yesterday. Three Premier League clubs knocked out. You like

:35:47.:35:51.

to see that in the third round, the little guys doing well against the

:35:52.:35:59.

big guys. And Wayne Rooney equalling Johnstone's goalscoring record. Lots

:36:00.:36:03.

of debate raging in the papers this morning and social media about where

:36:04.:36:07.

Wayne Rooney ostensibly comes to Manchester United -- Charleston. He

:36:08.:36:14.

is up with the likes of Roy Keane and Gary Neville, all of the 90s

:36:15.:36:22.

superstars. It is an illustrious list. Is Wayne Rooney up there? He

:36:23.:36:29.

has had an up-and-down relationship, coming from Everton. Will he leave

:36:30.:36:35.

not? He has had petulant times but has been a superstar for him and the

fans love him as well. Lots of debate this morning about where

:36:43.:36:46.

So League One Millwall produced the biggest upset

:36:47.:36:48.

They won 3-0 against Premier League side Bournemouth.

:36:49.:36:53.

Eddie Howe's side selected a completely different starting

:36:54.:36:56.

eleven to their last game, but the ease to which Millwall won

:36:57.:36:59.

And Millwall manager Neil Harris says he's proud of such a dominant

:37:00.:37:03.

I enjoyed. I enjoyed watching their team. The boys way to the hard on

:37:04.:37:10.

Friday trying to stop bombing another fight their threats. They

:37:11.:37:15.

have huge talent in their squad -- Bournemouth. We knew there were

capable of making chances. Delighted that it was clinical at the right

times and really pleased with the clean sheet.

:37:25.:37:25.

West Brom lost at home to Derby of the Championship.

:37:26.:37:27.

This free-kick by by Tom Ince gave Derby the 2-1 win.

:37:28.:37:30.

Delight for the away side and the 5,000 travelling fans.

:37:31.:37:33.

And the third Premier League side humbled was Stoke.

:37:34.:37:36.

Championship side Wolves with a 2-0 win, and another great

:37:37.:37:38.

It's the first time in eight seasons that Stoke have gone out

:37:39.:37:44.

Two non-league sides will be in the fourth round draw

:37:45.:37:48.

First there's National League side Lincoln City.

:37:49.:37:55.

They had been leading 2-1 thanks to two strikes by Theo Robinson,

:37:56.:37:58.

before the Championship side equalised to send the tie

:37:59.:38:00.

And fellow National League side Sutton United are in the draw

:38:01.:38:05.

They earned a replay with League One AFC Wimbledon,

:38:06.:38:09.

And Wayne Rooney's goalscoring record was the headline

:38:10.:38:18.

of Manchester United's 4-0 win over Reading.

:38:19.:38:20.

This was his 249th for the club, and it means he's equal

:38:21.:38:24.

And his manager Jose Mourinho says it's only a matter of time.

:38:25.:38:38.

It is amazing because everybody knows who Sir Bobby is and what he

:38:39.:38:48.

means for the history of the club in the history of English football. For

:38:49.:38:57.

Wayne to score that number of goals for Manchester United is fantastic.

Some selected results for you from yesterday.

Non-league Barrow's hopes of reaching the fourth

Chelsea take on Peterborough this afternoon, while at lunchtime

:39:23.:39:25.

Liverpool play League Two Plymouth Argyle.

:39:26.:39:28.

These players want to have success. These players want to get its chance

:39:29.:39:35.

back in and take each times they get. It is a historical tournament,

:39:36.:39:41.

and of course we will try everything to win it. It is all pretty

:39:42.:39:45.

exciting, and we are looking forward to it.

:39:46.:39:47.

Sir Andy Murray's winning streak of 28 ATP Tour matches is over,

:39:48.:39:50.

after he lost the Qatar Open final to old rival Novak Djokovic.

:39:51.:39:53.

The world number two was serving for the match

:39:54.:39:56.

in the second set but Murray saved three match points to force

:39:57.:39:59.

The match last nearly three hours, and in the end it was Djokovic

:40:00.:40:04.

Despite that defeat, Murray retains his number one ranking.

:40:05.:40:10.

Munster thrashed Racing 92 32-7 in their European Champions Cup tie,

Saracens have returned to the top of the Premiership after coming

from behind to draw 13-13 with Exeter Chiefs despite having

Elsewhere there were wins for Northampton,

He beat Wales' Nick Kenny by three sets to one.

In the women's draw, the world number five Trina Gulliver

Sir Mo Farah's attempt to win the Great Edinburgh International

:41:26.:41:27.

Cross Country for a second time ended in disappointment.

:41:28.:41:31.

The two-time double Olympic champion struggled at Holyrood Park,

:41:32.:41:33.

finishing seventh in his first race of 2017.

:41:34.:41:37.

Britain's Callum Hawkins was beaten into second

:41:38.:41:39.

by America's Leonard Korir in a sprint finish.

:41:40.:41:46.

Yes, the last bit of training hasn't gone as well as I wanted.

:41:47.:41:52.

But it is a team event, and I want to come out

:41:53.:41:55.

here and represent my country, and help the guys.

:41:56.:41:58.

But early on it was one of those things where...

:41:59.:42:02.

Ten days beforehand it was like, what do I do?

:42:03.:42:05.

I did a session, and I knew from that things were going to be

:42:06.:42:09.

So Mo Farah, always smiling. And he said it is just Mo Farah, he doesn't

:42:10.:42:25.

want to be called sir. It sort of sitting. I worried because Sir Mo

:42:26.:42:34.

sounds a bit like Slo Mo. I hope it does not slow him down.

:42:35.:42:38.

First Margaret Thatcher famously said there was "no such thing

:42:39.:42:41.

as society", then David Cameron championed his plans for a "big

:42:42.:42:43.

Now Theresa May has turned her back on both of them

:42:44.:42:47.

by talking about her vision for a "shared society" instead.

:42:48.:42:49.

And in a big week for Brexit, is that vision just a distraction?

:42:50.:42:56.

Let's discuss both those things now with Jon Tongue,

:42:57.:42:58.

who's Professor of Politics at Liverpool University.

:42:59.:43:01.

So she will talk about this tomorrow in her speech. What does she mean by

:43:02.:43:09.

shared society? It is quite an important vision Theresa May is

:43:10.:43:12.

articulating because it does represent a break with market that,

:43:13.:43:18.

who said there is no such thing as society -- Margaret Thatcher. It

:43:19.:43:22.

also signed a break with David Cameron, who said he wanted

:43:23.:43:26.

charities to step in. Theresa May has been explicit in the shared

:43:27.:43:30.

society argument that the state has to intervene at certain times to

:43:31.:43:33.

help those that she terms are just about managing, the JAMs. You can't

:43:34.:43:40.

rely on the voluntary sector or free market economics to help those at

:43:41.:43:43.

the bottom. She pledges a new form of social justice, a major gram of

:43:44.:43:49.

social reform. The devil will be in the decal. Everybody can articulate

:43:50.:43:53.

these ideas. No minister ever commits to unfinished, -- on the

:43:54.:44:06.

fairness. We see what tough economic times we're in. You imagine they

:44:07.:44:09.

would be to offload costs but now they are looking to say we will deal

:44:10.:44:14.

with it. Can they afford to? Probably not. There is very little

:44:15.:44:20.

detail in Theresa May's statement. Some of the areas she talks about

our making housing more affordable. You can cut stamp duty but most of

:44:27.:44:30.

all you need to build more houses. Is there money to build more houses?

:44:31.:44:34.

Secondly, is this government really committed to eight -- and expansion

:44:35.:44:44.

of social housing? You can see where Theresa May is going. Some of the

:44:45.:44:47.

language this morning very much reflects what she said on the steps

:44:48.:44:51.

of Downing Street last July when she became Prime Minister, when she said

:44:52.:44:55.

she wanted to stand up for those struggling in society. This is a

:44:56.:44:59.

real pitch for votes as well. That is not being unduly cynical. 4

:45:00.:45:04.

million people voted for Ukip at the last election and feel they are

:45:05.:45:07.

economically struggling. Theresa May is promising to deliver Brexit and

:45:08.:45:21.

not just look after the interests of those already financially well off.

:45:22.:45:24.

Is she moving into Labour territory? It is really putting tanks on the

:45:25.:45:28.

lawn of the Labour Party and saying we can be the party for the working

:45:29.:45:32.

class as well. The Labour Party are struggling as well. Theresa May

:45:33.:45:35.

police the Labour Party is there for the taking at the moment. You still

:45:36.:45:39.

can't roll out a snap election next year even though I think it is

:45:40.:45:42.

unlikely. Theresa May does not want to be defined purely by Brexit. She

:45:43.:45:46.

wants to be a Prime Minister associated with a vision. They might

:45:47.:45:50.

be a Theresa May vision we can expect. She wants to be Prime

:45:51.:45:53.

Minister who is remembered and can articulate ideas rather than seen as

:45:54.:45:54.

a technocrat. Of coarse Brexit is important, a

:45:55.:46:04.

busy week for the Prime Minister in terms of that but also Donald Trump

:46:05.:46:08.

has been tweeting as well. There we are, we can see it.

:46:09.:46:16.

There will be a sigh of relief from Number Ten Downing Street over that.

:46:17.:46:23.

It is rather better than having let's have Nigel Farage as UK

:46:24.:46:28.

Ambassador. The special relationship is important to both sides, Theresa

:46:29.:46:31.

May will be anxious to establish good relations with Donald Trump.

:46:32.:46:35.

That will take the spotlight of Brexit but all eyes are not so much

:46:36.:46:39.

on Donald Trump at the Supreme Court. We expect a decision any day

:46:40.:46:44.

soon as to whether Theresa May has to delay a bill before Parliament in

:46:45.:46:48.

terms of triggering Article 50, which triggers the Brexit process.

:46:49.:46:53.

The question is whether they will uphold the original decision and not

:46:54.:46:56.

so much whether the government can get Article 50 triggered, it can,

:46:57.:47:00.

but whether there will be awkward amendments tabled in Parliament

:47:01.:47:03.

which make life awkward for the Parliament, and Theresa May having

:47:04.:47:07.

to declare her hand on the single market, about which there appears to

:47:08.:47:10.

be no decision yet within government. Thank you for joining

:47:11.:47:12.

Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:47:14.:47:15.

Israel's ambassador to the UK has apologised after a member

:47:16.:47:18.

of his staff was secretly filmed saying he wanted to take down

:47:19.:47:21.

a Conservative minister. Theresa May is promising

:47:22.:47:24.

far-reaching social reforms, to correct what she calls burning

:47:25.:47:25.

injustices in modern Britain. Also coming up in the programme: It

:47:26.:47:28.

could be a good night for the Brits at tonight's Golden Globes,

:47:29.:47:33.

with The Night Manager and The Crown both tipped for success

:47:34.:47:36.

in the TV categories. We will have the latest

:47:37.:47:38.

from Hollywood in just Here is Helen with a look

:47:39.:47:40.

at this morning's weather. Hello. Good morning to you. The fog

:47:41.:48:03.

isn't as widespread as this time yesterday, but there are some thick

:48:04.:48:06.

patches around, particularly through the likes of the Salisbury Plain,

:48:07.:48:12.

across parts of Wales in the south-west, and through the Vale of

:48:13.:48:16.

York where temperatures are actually around freezing. That means there

:48:17.:48:19.

will be some ice as well to content with, so not particularly nice

:48:20.:48:22.

travel conditions this morning and the improvements will be very, very

:48:23.:48:26.

slow. Like yesterday we have that blanket of cloud across the country,

:48:27.:48:30.

patchy rain and drizzle across parts of Wales in the south-west, slowly

:48:31.:48:34.

easing. Later sunshine coming in the north and west, the best of the

:48:35.:48:38.

sunshine in eastern parts of both England and Scotland, perhaps

:48:39.:48:41.

north-east Wales as well. But more limited once again. If you see the

:48:42.:48:45.

sunshine you are one of the lucky few, really, I think today. As the

:48:46.:48:50.

beggars on the cloud thickens the wind strengthens to bring rain.

:48:51.:48:54.

Northern Ireland it will be a breezy, cloudy, mild day with some

:48:55.:48:58.

patchy rain and drizzle at times. We will see for much of England and

:48:59.:49:02.

Wales that slow lifting of the cloud race, that might become slightly

:49:03.:49:05.

less grave. But it will overall remain quite cloudy and mild. The

:49:06.:49:11.

light Vryzas overnight will see the mist and fog returning across

:49:12.:49:14.

England and Wales, that lowering of the cloud, but all change further

:49:15.:49:20.

north. Wind and rain across Scotland initially across Scotland and

:49:21.:49:22.

Northern Ireland and England through the morning. Quite an unpleasant

:49:23.:49:26.

rush-hour for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. The rain clears

:49:27.:49:31.

away moves its way southwards and for Northern Ireland in Scotland it

:49:32.:49:35.

will be much brighter but much colder. Wintry showers especially

:49:36.:49:38.

over the hills. For England and Wales the mist and fog lifts, ahead

:49:39.:49:42.

of the rain. Windier and wetter conditions in the south for the

:49:43.:49:45.

afternoon rush-hour. The maximum temperatures will dip down, probably

:49:46.:49:50.

three or four in the north the afternoon. That is because we have a

:49:51.:49:54.

brief incursion of colder and the mild their returns by the middle of

:49:55.:49:58.

the week. After that we get the northerly wind showing its hand.

:49:59.:50:02.

Here it comes, coming down from the Arctic. Big changes on the way by

:50:03.:50:06.

the end of next week and it will feel bitterly cold in comparison to

:50:07.:50:10.

this weekend, which is really relatively mild and benign, apart

:50:11.:50:16.

from that mist and fog. Thank you very much. We will stay across that

:50:17.:50:22.

as it gets colder and wetter and we will have more from hell in a little

:50:23.:50:24.

later. -- Helen. Overweight football fans

:50:25.:50:28.

are being offered the opportunity to get in shape, with specialised

:50:29.:50:31.

diet and training programmes that are usually only

:50:32.:50:34.

available to players. Football Fans in Training,

:50:35.:50:35.

which was set up by academics in Scotland, is now being run

:50:36.:50:38.

by five English football clubs, and it is hoping

:50:39.:50:41.

to expand to others. Shaun Roberts-Ferguson was 22.5

:50:42.:50:43.

stone before signing up to the scheme, and he is here

:50:44.:50:45.

to tell us about it, along with Jon Holloway, the trust

:50:46.:50:49.

manager at Swindon Town Football Gents, very good morning to you.

:50:50.:51:01.

Nice to see you both. Tell us your story, how did you get involved in

:51:02.:51:06.

this? It was... I have been a Swindon Town fan for 42 years now,

:51:07.:51:10.

and they put on the website this thing about Football Fans in

:51:11.:51:14.

Training, they put a video up showing how it had gone at and, in

:51:15.:51:18.

Scotland, and I was sat down doing nothing as usual and I thought this

:51:19.:51:23.

looks good, this looks for me. It is just a brilliant plan. And it was

:51:24.:51:27.

the connection to the club that convince you to have a go, was at?

:51:28.:51:31.

It was the idea that other people at the club would be doing it and it

:51:32.:51:35.

was something you knew and loved already. Yes, it was the fact it was

:51:36.:51:39.

Swindon Town. That is what worked for me, it has been a big part of my

:51:40.:51:44.

life for 40 odd years. And how do you feel now? You have lost about

:51:45.:51:47.

seven stone, you have done brilliantly. Yes, and is not just

:51:48.:51:51.

me. Those have lost weight. My lifestyle is completely different

:51:52.:51:57.

now, and am a lot fitter. That was before you started. You are saying

:51:58.:52:00.

you feel fitter now, any other general health benefits? I can shot

:52:01.:52:05.

for nice clothes now! More choice. And running as well, you have taken

:52:06.:52:11.

up running? I was supposed to be taking ten K this morning until I

:52:12.:52:15.

get called here. Most of my friends are doing a race somewhere. Sorry

:52:16.:52:19.

about damaging your fitness regime. You are allowed to go afterwards.

:52:20.:52:24.

Tell us what it is about these groups that make it work. Because as

:52:25.:52:28.

we heard there from Shaun, it is about the association with the club,

:52:29.:52:32.

something we already know so it is not a big leap into the unknown.

:52:33.:52:36.

Definitely, and the guys don't see it as coming into a healthier

:52:37.:52:39.

lifestyle programme. They are coming to their football club, it is based

:52:40.:52:43.

at the football club and they are comfortable right from the start.

:52:44.:52:48.

They all have a common interest in football and Swindon Town and ethics

:52:49.:52:53.

is success. How does it work? We have a group of 30 guys in a 12 week

:52:54.:52:58.

programme. There are two main elements. The first is trying to

:52:59.:53:01.

educate them to have a healthier diet and better food choices, and

:53:02.:53:06.

put in more physical activity, increasing their physical activity,

:53:07.:53:08.

and putting those two elements together yield some really powerful

:53:09.:53:14.

results. I guess it is open to women football plan Swindon Town as well?

:53:15.:53:20.

Initially this programme has just been funded for guys, and the reason

:53:21.:53:25.

why is because of the research they had done that there was a lot of

:53:26.:53:29.

projects out there for females but not a huge amount for guys at this

:53:30.:53:34.

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

:53:35.:53:39.

and the Council to focus on guys trying to get middle-aged guys back

:53:40.:53:43.

in healthy again. It has actually started being rolled out for females

:53:44.:53:47.

up in Scotland, and I'm sure that will come south very soon as well.

:53:48.:53:52.

And we are hearing now from John about what it involves day to day.

:53:53.:53:56.

Talk me through a typical training programme and how you kept up the

:53:57.:54:00.

motivation to be involved in. The motivation was easy because the

:54:01.:54:04.

coaches, John, Shane, Louise, the three of them, they take us on it,

:54:05.:54:09.

and they are so enthusiastic about it that it rolls into you. The thing

:54:10.:54:13.

that works as the group mentality of it. You are like a team, and

:54:14.:54:18.

obviously men like competition and it all builds around that. They work

:54:19.:54:22.

you on it. It is not easy. So they put you through your paces. The

:54:23.:54:26.

first week just up and down the stand at Swindon about killed us. As

:54:27.:54:32.

John said to Shane, these boys will never do this. But it motivates you

:54:33.:54:38.

all the time. It is not just the exercise. It is all the education

:54:39.:54:41.

you get from it. It is things you knew but you just forgot, and you

:54:42.:54:45.

get relaxed into your lifestyle. And that is the point, isn't it, John? I

:54:46.:54:49.

suppose a lot of this for many people will be common sense but is

:54:50.:54:53.

about putting it into action. Definitely, it is not rocket

:54:54.:54:57.

science. And that is the key to it, is just about making small changes

:54:58.:55:01.

that will hopefully have a long-term lifestyle benefits for the guys.

:55:02.:55:05.

Some of the topics we look at our portion size, overcoming barriers,

:55:06.:55:13.

looking at the calorie count, understanding food labels. So the 90

:55:14.:55:17.

minute session is split into 245 minutes. The first 45 minutes is

:55:18.:55:22.

partly education, looking at a different topic on healthier eating,

:55:23.:55:27.

and the second session is the exercise and increasing the

:55:28.:55:29.

activity. And that is done brilliantly as well because all of

:55:30.:55:33.

the guys are given pedometers and initially they give their average

:55:34.:55:36.

step count and it is about building up their weekly step count to them

:55:37.:55:41.

becoming... For it to continue afterwards. The guys are now doing

:55:42.:55:44.

lots of different activities. There is small sided football, a running

:55:45.:55:50.

club, a cycling club, a group that goes swimming, a group to regular

:55:51.:55:55.

golf now. So that mentality, and they are looking to continue, for it

:55:56.:55:59.

to a long-term lifestyle change, and that is the most important thing.

:56:00.:56:05.

Initial 12 weeks but continuing to go into the future. Best of luck

:56:06.:56:09.

with it. Thank you for coming in and telling us about that. I'm sure many

:56:10.:56:13.

other people will be wanting to get involved, but for now, nice to see

:56:14.:56:18.

you. Sorry for getting in the wave you this morning! -- way of your run

:56:19.:56:26.

this morning. Hollywood is gearing up for this

:56:27.:56:27.

year's Golden Globes, one of the biggest nights

:56:28.:56:30.

in the entertainment calendar. The ceremony is traditionally seen

:56:31.:56:32.

as an indicator of which films will do well at the Oscars,

:56:33.:56:35.

and there are many Brits hoping to get their hands

:56:36.:56:38.

on one of the gongs. Our Los Angeles correspondent

:56:39.:56:41.

James Cook has been looking Hollywood likes nothing better than

:56:42.:56:56.

talking about itself. This year it's gone a step further, singing and

:56:57.:57:00.

dancing. La La Land's love interests are played by Ryan Gosling and Emma

:57:01.:57:06.

Stone, and the city of stars itself. You've never seen it. I've never

:57:07.:57:11.

seen it. Oh my. You know it is playing at the Rialto? Really? Yes.

:57:12.:57:16.

The next contender for Golden Globes glory could hardly be more

:57:17.:57:20.

different. Usually can take care of himself. He did that way. Moonlight,

:57:21.:57:26.

with six nominations, is a comics coming-of-age story. Naomi Harris

:57:27.:57:29.

plays a drug addicted mother and she thinks the industry is getting

:57:30.:57:32.

better at telling stories about people with colour. I think there is

:57:33.:57:36.

a fantastic level of diversity this year and I think it is something

:57:37.:57:40.

that is so to be celebrated. And it is a shame that we have to... It

:57:41.:57:44.

almost seems so regressive to have these conversations about race, in

:57:45.:57:48.

2017 now, that we are still fixated about that. We just want great

:57:49.:57:53.

movies, really. Do you think there is a games this year? Where do you

:57:54.:57:58.

think we stand? I think there is a change happening all the time. When

:57:59.:58:01.

I think about my career 25 years ago and starting out and how few actors

:58:02.:58:05.

there were to fill the very few roles for people of colour, the

:58:06.:58:08.

stories were just not the stories that people... Didn't realise they

:58:09.:58:11.

were story that people wanted to see. Another story that continues to

:58:12.:58:21.

fascinate is that of the British Royal family. Claire Foley has been

:58:22.:58:25.

showered with praise for her portrayal of the young Elizabeth.

:58:26.:58:30.

What a role to take on. I know, what an idiot! Do you know what the Royal

:58:31.:58:40.

think of it? I no, I wish I did. I was wondering if I might take Danny

:58:41.:58:48.

into town? For what? A change. In TV, the BBC coproduction the Night

:58:49.:58:52.

Manager has four nominations. The adaptation of the novel has won

:58:53.:58:56.

praise from critics and audiences, to the delight of its star, Tom

:58:57.:59:00.

Huddlestone. When you make something you never know when it's going to

:59:01.:59:04.

catch fire or ignite people's interests, but it seemed too. And

:59:05.:59:07.

that is testament to the writing of John. I think spy thrillers will be

:59:08.:59:14.

enduringly popular, and he is the master. Ahmed is also up for his

:59:15.:59:24.

role in the HBO crime drama the Night Of. I think the reality of

:59:25.:59:31.

being caught up in a murder case, facing the slow wheels of justice,

:59:32.:59:35.

it is not a walk in the park. So far there is no clear favourite to sweep

:59:36.:59:40.

the board this awards season, which just makes the Golden Globes, always

:59:41.:59:44.

keenly followed for clues as the Oscars success, all the more

:59:45.:59:46.

intriguing. Still to come on Breakfast:

:59:47.:59:47.

We will have an in-depth look through the Sunday papers,

:59:48.:59:50.

in about 20 minutes' time. That is after the headlines,

:59:51.:59:52.

in just a moment. This is Breakfast,

:59:53.:59:54.

with Sian Lloyd and Ben Thompson. Its ambassador to the UK apologises

:59:55.:00:31.

after an embassy official is secretly filmed discussing how to

:00:32.:00:34.

"take down" a Conservative minister. The official told an undercover

:00:35.:00:40.

reporter that Sir Alan Duncan was causing "lots of

:00:41.:00:43.

problems" for the Israelis. And is seen describing

:00:44.:00:47.

the Foreign Secretary, Theresa May sets out

:00:48.:00:49.

her vision for Britain. The Prime Minister says she wants

:00:50.:01:10.

to build a "shared society" London Underground staff get ready

Cup third round - among them Bournemouth,

:01:38.:01:39.

who were beaten 3-0 A very similar day to

:01:40.:01:41.

yesterday, weatherwise. It is grey and misty with fog

:01:42.:01:51.

in a few localities first thing. I will have more details

:01:52.:01:55.

if you join me in 15 minutes. The Israeli ambassador has

:01:56.:01:58.

apologised for comments which appear to show an embassy employee plotting

:01:59.:02:10.

to bring down a government minister. Undercover footage, filmed

:02:11.:02:13.

by Middle East news network Al Jazeera, shows an Israeli

:02:14.:02:15.

government employee saying he would like to take down

:02:16.:02:17.

the Foreign Office Minister The video also shows the official

:02:18.:02:20.

insulting Boris Johnson, The emergence of the footage

:02:21.:02:23.

is highly embarrassing It shows Shai Masot dining with,

:02:24.:02:29.

among others, an aide to the Conservative Education

:02:30.:02:34.

Minister Robert Halfon. Mr Masot, a senior political adviser

:02:35.:02:37.

at the Israeli Embassy, says he would like to bring down

:02:38.:02:40.

a member of the British Government. Sir Alan Duncan has been a fierce

:02:41.:02:54.

critic of Israeli policy. Just over two years ago,

:02:55.:02:57.

he described Israel's control and division of the West Bank city

:02:58.:02:59.

of Hebron as nothing short of apartheid, where Palestinians

:03:00.:03:03.

were treated as second-class In the covert footage,

:03:04.:03:05.

Mr Masot also describes Sir Alan's boss, Boris Johnson,

:03:06.:03:12.

in less than flattering terms. Sir Crispin Blunt, chair

:03:13.:03:19.

of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, described Mr Masot's

:03:20.:03:21.

comments about Sir Alan as outrageous and deserving

:03:22.:03:23.

of investigation. The director of the Conservative

:03:24.:03:28.

Friends of Israel said we utterly condemn any attempt to undermine

:03:29.:03:31.

Sir Alan Duncan, or any minister In a statement, the

:03:32.:03:34.

Foreign Office said: While the British Government is not

:03:35.:03:52.

taking any further action, the film raises uncomfortable

:03:53.:03:54.

questions about Mr Masot, and just how much influence

:03:55.:03:56.

he has been able to wield. Theresa May is promising

:03:57.:03:59.

to introduce wide-ranging social reforms to correct what she calls

:04:00.:04:07.

the "everyday injustices" faced In an article for

:04:08.:04:10.

the Sunday Telegraph, she says she wants to build

:04:11.:04:16.

a "shared society", with a commitment to fairness,

:04:17.:04:19.

and reveals a deliberate attempt to break away from her

:04:20.:04:22.

Tory predecessors. Our political correspondent

:04:23.:04:25.

Susana Mendonca joins us now. Susanna, what do you think she means

:04:26.:04:27.

by a "shared society"? Ed Miliband setback in 2015, and he

:04:28.:04:46.

we have Theresa May talking about this shared society -- said this.

:04:47.:04:51.

The idea is we should not focus on individual rights but on the

:04:52.:04:54.

responsibilities we have for one another. In the past, she says

:04:55.:04:58.

governments have been too focused on helping the poorest in society and

:04:59.:05:03.

eight are focus on helping people across the board. Distancing herself

:05:04.:05:07.

from previous Conservative leaders. David Cameron talked about the big

:05:08.:05:12.

society, about charities doing their bit, and Margaret Thatcher talked

:05:13.:05:21.

about there being no such thing as society. A very different message.

:05:22.:05:24.

In essence, we don't know if that means more money going from

:05:25.:05:27.

government to try to prove inequality. She has not talked about

:05:28.:05:30.

the detail. The reality is she wants to move away from discussions round

:05:31.:05:34.

Brexit and for the focus to be elsewhere. She does not want to

the Article 50 ruling by the Supreme Court expected and criticism from

:05:41.:05:43.

people like Nicola Sturgeon, which will be entry Marsh wrote the Prime

:06:00.:06:03.

tweeted: In a post- Brexit world, Britain needs a good trading

:06:04.:06:05.

relationship with countries like America, so it is crucial for her.

:06:06.:06:08.

Good to talk to you. Thank you. Nicola Sturgeon has insisted

:06:09.:06:11.

she is not bluffing about the prospect of a second

:06:12.:06:13.

Scottish independence referendum. Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show,

:06:14.:06:16.

to be shown later this morning, the First Minister said

:06:17.:06:18.

she was prepared to call a fresh referendum if the terms

:06:19.:06:22.

of Brexit were not right. if they think I'm

:06:23.:06:25.

in any way bluffing. If it comes to the point,

:06:26.:06:29.

two years after Scotland being told in the independence referendum,

:06:30.:06:43.

"Don't leave the UK," here we are - we voted to stay in the EU

:06:44.:06:46.

and we were told voting no was the only way to stay,

:06:47.:06:49.

and now we face being taken out. That creates a much more fundamental

:06:50.:06:53.

question for Scotland. Labour is calling on the Prime

:06:54.:06:55.

Minister to approve a ?700 million emergency cash injection to help

:06:56.:06:59.

the NHS through the winter. It comes after the British

:07:00.:07:01.

Red Cross claimed there was a "humanitarian crisis"

:07:02.:07:03.

in hospitals in England. The Shadow Health Secretary,

:07:04.:07:06.

Jonathan Ashworth, said Mrs May needed to ensure that "this year's

:07:07.:07:08.

crisis" never happened again. A 24-hour strike by London

:07:23.:07:25.

:07:26.:07:28.

and 27th of January. That could mean much more misery for

:08:06.:08:13.

passengers. An American war veteran has been

us and wider afield in the next few minutes. Let's return to our main

:10:50.:10:53.

story. This morning Theresa May will be

:10:54.:10:55.

setting out her new approach, Political commentators say it's

:10:56.:10:58.

the most she's revealed about her politics since

:10:59.:11:01.

she entered Number 10. Are they just a distraction from the

:11:02.:11:13.

big job at hand, Brexit? for the Sunday Times,

:11:14.:11:19.

and he joins us now This is a big week for Theresa May.

:11:20.:11:30.

Lots of announcements. Let's start with this idea of big society. It is

:11:31.:11:35.

a concept we have heard a lot about and we have heard about it from the

:11:36.:11:40.

other side of the political fence. It is the shared society, not big

:11:41.:11:45.

society, and that is the point. Theresa May became Prime Minister

:11:46.:11:50.

very quickly. She did not go through a long leadership election, which is

:11:51.:11:53.

where you normally spell out who you are and what you are about. Since

:11:54.:11:58.

she became leader, the whole leadership has been dominated by

:11:59.:12:03.

Brexit. What Downing Street wanted to do early in January is come out

:12:04.:12:07.

and say, this is a Prime Minister who is about more than just Brexit.

:12:08.:12:11.

She has a lot of social reform instincts and it will be making a

:12:12.:12:15.

series of speeches to explain that. Some people see her as the new

:12:16.:12:19.

Margaret Thatcher. But she said there was no such thing as society.

:12:20.:12:23.

David Cameron said there is a big society. It is not the same thing as

:12:24.:12:27.

the state. Theresa May is coming in as a Conservative Prime Minister

:12:28.:12:33.

saying, look, there is such thing as society, and government is needed to

:12:34.:12:37.

try to help connect people to strengthen the bonds between

:12:38.:12:40.

community is. This is quite a departure certainly for Margaret

:12:41.:12:44.

Thatcher and even David Cameron. Certainly, as she lay out, Theresa

:12:45.:12:48.

May is suggesting there is a need for society but also for government

:12:49.:12:52.

to manage that society. I suppose the question is whether the

:12:53.:12:55.

government can afford it. We are told in these tough economic times

:12:56.:12:58.

the government does not have the money to enable it to do what it

:12:59.:13:03.

wants to do. Can it afford to do this? I think what the government

:13:04.:13:06.

will try to do in Theresa May's vision is bring people together.

:13:07.:13:10.

Yes, David Cameron sort of said let's get charities and local groups

:13:11.:13:18.

involved, doing the things the state used to do. What Theresa May says is

:13:19.:13:23.

left to their own devices, that does not necessarily work. The state has

:13:24.:13:26.

leadership and it has the ability to work out what is working in

:13:27.:13:29.

different communities and spread those ideas and bring people

:13:30.:13:32.

together. I think that is what she is attempting to do, bring the two

:13:33.:13:36.

ideas together. We also get some news this week on what may happen as

:13:37.:13:42.

far as Brexit is concerned. Some suggesting that this idea of shared

:13:43.:13:46.

societies are a distraction from the real job at hand. The real job at

:13:47.:13:50.

hand is Brexit. Is that if you you share? Well, as I say, they are

:13:51.:13:55.

certainly trying to distract the public's attention from Brexit, but

:13:56.:14:00.

unfortunately the resignation of Sir Ivan Rogers means it is all over the

:14:01.:14:04.

front pages again this morning. Theresa May knows that government

:14:05.:14:08.

will be defined by how she performs on Brexit, and her first cabinet

:14:09.:14:11.

meeting on the subject is this Thursday. The government is waiting

:14:12.:14:16.

for the ruling by the Supreme Court, which they are expecting to lose,

:14:17.:14:20.

which will tell them they need to pass legislation before they can

:14:21.:14:23.

trigger Article 50, which kickstarted the whole process.

:14:24.:14:27.

Brexit is very much at the forefront of ministers' minds, but Theresa

:14:28.:14:31.

May, with a speech on Monday, is trying to say there is more to my

:14:32.:14:35.

government the night. She knows full well how she performs on Brexit will

:14:36.:14:40.

form the first line of her political obituary. I have looked at the

:14:41.:14:44.

article you have written on the front page of the times looking at

:14:45.:14:48.

the role of Sir Ivan Rogers and whether it is an orderly or

:14:49.:14:52.

disorderly Brexit. That really will be the key, the fact he had a

:14:53.:14:56.

meeting with David Cameron beforehand also throws some doubt

:14:57.:15:02.

over those negotiations. Well, Ivan Rogers left partly because they did

:15:03.:15:05.

not want in there and partly because he had had enough of Theresa May and

:15:06.:15:09.

her team. The thing that concerned Ivan Rogers was that in the planning

:15:10.:15:15.

that ministers are doing, there is a lot of talk about hard and soft and

:15:16.:15:19.

clean Brexit. He is worried about a disorderly Brexit where we try to do

:15:20.:15:23.

a deal with the other 27 countries and for whatever reason, that proves

:15:24.:15:28.

to be impossible, and he thinks this is a 50-50 chance that we go

:15:29.:15:32.

crashing out of the EU in a couple of years, and if that happens, he

:15:33.:15:36.

thinks the government needs to be prepared. It could be fairly

:15:37.:15:40.

difficult economically. One of the reasons he left was because Downing

:15:41.:15:43.

Street thought he was briefing the media and felt he was too much of a

:15:44.:15:49.

sort of Ramona character. It will interest them greatly he has been

:15:50.:15:52.

going off and having breakfast with the former Prime Minister, David

:15:53.:15:56.

Cameron, who of course was the leader of the remaining forces. That

:15:57.:16:02.

will not be guaranteed to calm down their nerves over their breakfast

:16:03.:16:07.

this morning. It is good to talk to you. Thank you for talking to us.

:16:08.:16:11.

Here is Helen with a look at this morning's weather.

:16:12.:16:16.

Hello. Good morning to you. It is not quite as foggy as it was this

:16:17.:16:23.

time yesterday, but the benign, settled weather continues with those

:16:24.:16:28.

problems with fog, particularly across the Salisbury Plain this

:16:29.:16:31.

morning and also in the Vale of York where it is not just fold, it is

:16:32.:16:34.

freezing fog. Temperatures with clear skies have got below freezing

:16:35.:16:39.

but for most of us it is a mild and murky start and the improvements

:16:40.:16:42.

today will just be slow. That blanket of cloud sitting on the

:16:43.:16:46.

hills, hence the hill fog for the most part. Again, the sunshine will

:16:47.:16:49.

be quite limited but there should be some around and an incursion of more

:16:50.:16:53.

rain for the north-west of Scotland. That is the first change coming our

:16:54.:16:57.

way later today, and it would be quite changeable week whether for so

:16:58.:17:03.

the best of any changes east of Scotland will be in the Grampians,

:17:04.:17:06.

some brightness and patchy rain and drizzle for Northern Ireland, mild

:17:07.:17:11.

and cloudy, a breezy sort of day. For northern England some freezing

:17:12.:17:15.

fog on the Vale of York but some brightness is of the Pennines,

:17:16.:17:18.

possibly north-eastern parts of Wales as well and it shouldn't be as

:17:19.:17:22.

bank across the south-west as yesterday. We will be considerably

:17:23.:17:26.

milder than across in Central and eastern Europe as you have been

:17:27.:17:29.

hearing. It is bitterly cold and there are red warnings out for the

:17:30.:17:33.

temperatures, the ice and the snow and a bracing north-easterly wind

:17:34.:17:38.

which is accentuated in the severe windchill in these areas. We are

:17:39.:17:42.

seeing a change to our weather later on today and overnight, that is in

:17:43.:17:45.

the form of wet and windy weather. Gail or severe gales in the far

:17:46.:17:53.

north of Scotland and for most of us it will be a cooler night. Rain

:17:54.:17:57.

coming in, horrible rush-hour for the North and it quickly brightens

:17:58.:18:01.

up so we get the sunshine back but temperatures will drop down to about

:18:02.:18:05.

four Celsius. Wintry showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland,

:18:06.:18:09.

another season by the end of the day. While we remain mild, wet and

:18:10.:18:13.

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

:18:14.:18:18.

this benign and mild weather but from mid week on we have a screaming

:18:19.:18:21.

northerly potentially coming down so much colder with some wintry

:18:22.:18:25.

weather, some snow potentially, especially in the north and east.

:18:26.:18:31.

Thank you very much. Looks like it is turning colder and wetter.

:18:32.:18:33.

Now, lots of us will be feeling the pinch after Christmas,

:18:34.:18:36.

but new figures suggest the average household in the UK now has more

:18:37.:18:40.

unsecured debt than ever before, almost ?13,000.

:18:41.:18:41.

That is before mortgages are even taken into account.

:18:42.:18:44.

The TUC, which analysed official figures, says it shows families

:18:45.:18:47.

are struggling to get by on their pay alone,

:18:48.:18:49.

but officials at the Bank of England maintain debt levels are falling.

:18:50.:18:52.

Let's discuss this more now with Jane Tully from the National

:18:53.:18:55.

Good morning to you. It is a familiar tale, isn't it? The credit

:18:56.:19:15.

card bills arrive in the post after Christmas, and people have had a

:19:16.:19:18.

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

:19:19.:19:24.

this is one of the busiest January is we have had in recent years at

:19:25.:19:28.

National Debtline. The bills start to land and people realise they have

:19:29.:19:32.

to pay them back and lots of people look at their finances and knew at

:19:33.:19:36.

the beginning of the year and they seek help and advice. What sorts of

:19:37.:19:39.

things people asking you when they do call your helpline? What sorts of

:19:40.:19:44.

advice can you give? Our advice to people is some pretty obvious

:19:45.:19:48.

things, but unfortunately not always things that people do. Very often

:19:49.:19:52.

people contact us because they really are in financial difficulty.

:19:53.:19:56.

They find themselves experiencing some form of unexpected

:19:57.:20:01.

circumstances or life shocks, so it could be a redundancy, a

:20:02.:20:04.

bereavement, which has brought about financial difficulties for them, and

:20:05.:20:07.

the advice always starts with setting a Budget, think about what

:20:08.:20:11.

money you have coming in and going out. January is a great time to do

:20:12.:20:16.

it, start now and the rest of the year and look at that every month

:20:17.:20:19.

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

:20:20.:20:24.

open your statements. It is so easy to bury your head in the sand if you

:20:25.:20:28.

have other stresses in life at that particular time. So make sure you

:20:29.:20:32.

open them, and thirdly, take advice from the three agencies which are

:20:33.:20:36.

out there because we know that about 40% of our callers wait at least a

:20:37.:20:42.

year before contacting us. In that time they are carrying all the

:20:43.:20:48.

stress and worry. And that is the issue, as it snowballs and becomes

:20:49.:20:52.

bigger and bigger, and becomes a bigger problem. That is the advice

:20:53.:20:55.

for someone who is maybe just getting into debt. If you already

:20:56.:20:59.

have a massive debt and you don't know where to start, what should you

:21:00.:21:06.

be Is it about consolidating and trying to have fewer debts, or just

:21:07.:21:11.

paying it off? You start off with your primary debts, your household

:21:12.:21:15.

bills. Your energy, council tax, your mortgage and rent. There may be

:21:16.:21:20.

a consequence if you don't manage to pay them off. In those cases it is

:21:21.:21:24.

always helpful to contact an agency like ours and to contact creditors

:21:25.:21:29.

because they can be very helpful in helping you negotiate some form of

:21:30.:21:35.

repayment. If we look at the wider picture, obviously the TUC research

:21:36.:21:41.

with regard to average family incomes, they are more in debt than

:21:42.:21:44.

ever. What is your response to that? We are certainly seeing a lot of

:21:45.:21:48.

struggling households at the moment, we know there is an uncertain

:21:49.:21:52.

economic climate and borrowing is at its highest level in years. That is

:21:53.:21:56.

a concern to us at the moment because if the economy does it in

:21:57.:21:59.

anyway, if there are challenges over the next year or two, there is a

:22:00.:22:05.

significant minority of families who will really struggle. So with wage

:22:06.:22:09.

growth fairly or stagnant that is cause for us to be watchful and

:22:10.:22:14.

vigilant over the next little while. Thank you very much, and thanks for

:22:15.:22:16.

the advice as well. The Andrew Marr Programme is

:22:17.:22:20.

on BBC One this morning at 9:00am. As you probably know by now, my main

:22:21.:22:30.

guest is Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland. She is issuing

:22:31.:22:36.

a direct league this morning to Theresa May, saying the bus in the

:22:37.:22:42.

single market or Scotland will have another independence referendum

:22:43.:22:45.

within about the next 2.5 years. London says she is bluffing, she

:22:46.:22:48.

says she is not laughing and really means this. That is interesting. I

:22:49.:22:53.

am joined by the great Joanna Scanlon, the star of the Thick of

:22:54.:23:00.

It, talking about the new shared society, what does it really mean?

:23:01.:23:04.

And there will be the usual Morris dancing, bad jokes, all you expect.

:23:05.:23:06.

At nine a.m.. You are watching

:23:07.:23:08.

Breakfast from BBC News. It is time now for a look

:23:09.:23:10.

at the newspapers. Reverend Sally Hitchiner

:23:11.:23:16.

is here to tell us what has Good morning. Lovely to see you. We

:23:17.:23:28.

will head straight inside and the first thing which has caught your

:23:29.:23:33.

eye is the end of trained chemists. It is only one story, it is quite

:23:34.:23:37.

small but it struck me as being incredibly important. Local chemist

:23:38.:23:42.

shops, local pharmacy shops, are apparently run by a mixture of

:23:43.:23:46.

technicians and trained chemists who go through up to five years of

:23:47.:23:50.

training, and the trained... The senior chemists are going to be

:23:51.:23:55.

dropped from lots of shops as part of a ?3 million cut from the

:23:56.:24:01.

government and at pharmacies in particular. -- aimed at pharmacies.

:24:02.:24:08.

And the technicians, who are often only a level trained, will be

:24:09.:24:11.

running the entire shop. My perspective is that this is very

:24:12.:24:15.

shocking, actually. It is something that we need to be aware of, and

:24:16.:24:19.

very concerned about. Many people in the face of cuts to GPs, and it is

:24:20.:24:26.

more and more difficult to get seen at A if you need to, are using

:24:27.:24:32.

chemists and pharmacists as a way of managing minor ailments. How many

:24:33.:24:37.

people know that you can do that? I think there is a tendency to go into

:24:38.:24:40.

the chemist, hand over your prescription and you get what the

:24:41.:24:45.

doctor prescribed. Not that many people know you can go and ask for

:24:46.:24:49.

advice. It is a total mixture and there is a mix of people who do and

:24:50.:24:54.

don't do this and perhaps what we need to do is maybe boost GPs'

:24:55.:24:57.

surgeries so there are people you can walk in and get quick advice

:24:58.:25:01.

from there. There are not many places that you can actually just

:25:02.:25:05.

walk in and say I have a split in migraine, which is the best thing to

:25:06.:25:10.

take for that? You wouldn't want to book a GPs appointment for that but

:25:11.:25:13.

you can walk into your local chemist and get expert, professional advice

:25:14.:25:17.

about which drugs are best to take. I do think this is part of a wider

:25:18.:25:20.

colour concerning trend about cutting things in frontline care --

:25:21.:25:26.

wider, concerning trend. And the Department of Health are saying that

:25:27.:25:31.

any changes to who can dispense medicines will be properly consulted

:25:32.:25:34.

and they won't compromise patient safety. At the level of consultation

:25:35.:25:41.

at the moment, but if it were to be implemented, personally I'm not sure

:25:42.:25:48.

how it could have no bad consequence on safety of patients, but I do

:25:49.:25:52.

trust that the Department of Health spokesperson is saying that. Let's

:25:53.:25:56.

take a look at another story in the Telegraph, giving into students will

:25:57.:26:02.

harm standards. Explain this story. The snowflake student story. I work

:26:03.:26:09.

for a university and we are very professional, we were closely with

:26:10.:26:11.

our students in terms of providing the levels of training and education

:26:12.:26:17.

that we provide. I am picking up a trend across universities across the

:26:18.:26:21.

country where people are full of anxiety about the new trend, because

:26:22.:26:27.

students are paying more and more in terms of their fees, their

:26:28.:26:31.

expectations are higher and higher. And there is a new proposal being

:26:32.:26:36.

put to the Lords, the House of Lords, they are kicking up a big

:26:37.:26:40.

fuss where it places student satisfaction at the heart of where

:26:41.:26:44.

the universities are considered good or bad in the league tables. And

:26:45.:26:50.

this is amidst massive changes in how universities are having to be

:26:51.:26:55.

careful about providing safe space, which can mean that students don't

:26:56.:27:00.

feel extremely offended by things, or don't hear speakers that are

:27:01.:27:05.

extremely offensive, or considered dangerous by them, for example

:27:06.:27:09.

political or religious opinions that are considered difficult to hear.

:27:10.:27:15.

Personally I think university should be a place for debate. I think we

:27:16.:27:20.

should discuss things robustly in a university, and this worry of vice

:27:21.:27:24.

chancellors at the moment, and a number of vice chancellors are

:27:25.:27:27.

quoted in this article saying they are filled with anxiety and they

:27:28.:27:30.

feel they can't do their jobs well as professionals in providing

:27:31.:27:35.

education. There is a point, I suppose, as you rightly point out,

:27:36.:27:39.

the fees for university are getting higher and higher so in certain

:27:40.:27:42.

respects the student is the customer and they will say I need to be

:27:43.:27:46.

satisfied, I am paying you a lot of money. And it has changed, I was

:27:47.:27:50.

talking to my colleagues about when lecturers go on strike. 20 years ago

:27:51.:27:55.

the students would have been on strike with them. Ten years ago they

:27:56.:28:00.

were glad of the day off and now they are suing their university,

:28:01.:28:03.

because their fees are so high. We are here on the BBC News Channel

:28:04.:28:07.

until 9am this morning, and coming up here on Breakfast this

:28:08.:28:10.

morning: Last year saw the worst disorder in British

:28:11.:28:13.

prisons for two decades. Now, figures obtained by the BBC

:28:14.:28:20.

show a huge increase in ambulance We will be speaking to the explorer

:28:21.:28:23.

mountains in the world. All that to come on
