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. | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
Coming up before 7.00, Helen will have the weather for you. | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
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. | |
She was a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother and a wife. | :32:15. | :32:17. | |
but had lived in the United States for decades. | :32:18. | :32:21. | |

This is the man police have charged with causing death | :32:40. | :32:46. | |
Esteban Santiago, a 26-year-old former member | :32:47. | :32:52. | |
of the military with mental health problems. | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
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 | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
and the CIA were forcing him to watch videos from | :33:08. | :33:10. | |
That prompted a mental health assessment, during which a gun | :33:11. | :33:16. | |
The FBI says Mr Santiago has been questioned at length. | :33:17. | :33:24. | |
Esteban Santiago will appear in court tomorrow. | :33:25. | :33:27. | |
The FBI says he is cooperating with investigators, and agents have | :33:28. | :33:30. | |
spoken to other members of his family. | :33:31. | :33:33. | |
At this stage, they don't believe he was operating | :33:34. | :33:36. | |
Gary O'Donoghue, BBC News, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. | :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 | :34:45. | :34:50. | |
The Justice Secretary, Liz Truss, has promised to spend ?1.4 billion | :34:51. | :34:56. | |
on new prisons and says she will provide an extra | :34:57. | :34:59. | |

are struggling to get Time for a look at the sport. There | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
was a big upset yesterday? There was, at a selected scene of | :35:29. | :35:46. | |
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 | :36:36. | :36:39. | |
fans love him as well. Lots of debate this morning about where | :36:40. | :36:42. | |
Wayne Rooney extends. But let's get to the action yesterday. -- stands. | :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 | :37:16. | :37:20. | |
capable of making chances. Delighted that it was clinical at the right | :37:21. | :37:24. | |
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. | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
Some selected results for you from yesterday. | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
Non-league Barrow's hopes of reaching the fourth | :39:04. | :39:05. | |
round for the first time were dashed as Rochdale beat them 2-0. | :39:06. | :39:13. | |
All the goals from every game in the third round on the website. | :39:14. | :39:19. | |
There are five third round matches today and a couple | :39:20. | :39:22. | |
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, | :40:11. | :40:14. | |

The significance of the match was marked with 30 | :40:18. | :40:22. | |

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 | :44:21. | :44:26. | |
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. | |
us. You are watching | :47:13. | :47:13. | |
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 | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
to start a 24-hour strike tonight as millions of commuters face | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
a chaotic start to the week. An Iraq war veteran has been charged | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
after five people were shot dead at Fort Lauderdale | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
airport in Florida. Three Premier League sides | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
are knocked out by lower league opposition in the FA | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
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 | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
premiership defined by that. That will be difficult this week. We have | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
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 | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Minister has no plan for Brexit. -- Andrew Martin show. She will have a | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
meeting with Donald Trump, the president-elect. She had been | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
criticised for not having a close enough relationship to him. He has | :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 | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Underground workers, Unions are angry about job losses | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
and the closure of ticket offices. Transport for London says it's put | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
a new deal on the table, but that's been rejected | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
by the biggest rail union, the RMT. Let's give you a few more details | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
of what could be a chaotic week for rail commuters in | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
the south-east of England. The 24-hour London Underground | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
strike begins at 6.00pm tonight. The majority of central London Tube | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
stations will be closed. There will also be a limited | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
services on other Tube lines And it could be the first | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
in a series of rail Drivers on Southern rail are due | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
to walk out on Tuesday, And there are a further three | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
strikes planned for the week after on the 24th, 25th | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
and 27th of January. That could mean much more misery for | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
passengers. An American war veteran has been | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
charged over the shooting at Fort Lauderdale airport in | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
Florida, in which five people died. Esteban Santiago, who's 26, | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
could face the death penalty It's emerged that one | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
of the victims, a woman in her eighties, | :08:26. | :08:29. | |

of European countries has left more than 20 people dead | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
over the last two days. These icy pictures show snow | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
blizzards sweeping across parts of Romania, one of the | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
worst-affected areas, where over 500 people | :10:27. | :10:28. | |

were cancelled this weekend after heavy snow and icy conditions | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
were forecast for Istanbul. We will get the latest forecast for | :10:37. | :10:49. | |
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. | |
