:00:00. > :00:09.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:10. > :00:12.An overhaul of mental healthcare in England.

:00:13. > :00:15.The Prime Minister offers extra support to schools and companies

:00:16. > :00:17.saying she'll transform the way people with mental

:00:18. > :00:36.Opponents say more funds are still needed.

:00:37. > :00:42.Also this morning: A strike by tube staff closes much

:00:43. > :00:50.of the London Underground for rush hour commuters.

:00:51. > :00:58.It could cost the UK economy ?50 million in lost trade and staff who

:00:59. > :01:02.can't get to work. Unions say the walk out is vital to protect jobs. I

:01:03. > :01:04.will have the details live from London.

:01:05. > :01:06.A fantastic night for the Brits at the Golden Globes.

:01:07. > :01:09.Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Coleman pick up awards

:01:10. > :01:11.for their roles in the BBC's Night Manager.

:01:12. > :01:14.The film La La Land breaks records by winning seven.

:01:15. > :01:26.from the fourth tier of English football, earn an FA Cup

:01:27. > :01:27.replay after drawing with Liverpool at Anfield.

:01:28. > :01:30.An icy blast hits large parts of Eastern Europe.

:01:31. > :01:32.These are the conditions on the beaches of Greece.

:01:33. > :01:35.Carol has the details of what it will be like here.

:01:36. > :01:42.By the end of the week some of us could well see some snow. Not all of

:01:43. > :01:46.us, though. Today we have a grey and stamps start with rain moving south

:01:47. > :01:49.eastwards. Behind it we return to some sunshine and blustery showers.

:01:50. > :01:53.And very windy in the more west. I'll have more details

:01:54. > :01:57.on all of that in 15 minutes. Theresa May will outline plans

:01:58. > :02:01.which she says will transform mental In her first major speech on health

:02:02. > :02:06.since becoming Prime Minister, Mrs May will announce a review

:02:07. > :02:08.of services for children and teenagers as well as extra

:02:09. > :02:11.support for schools and businesses. Labour says people are being let

:02:12. > :02:15.down by a lack of funding. Our correspondent

:02:16. > :02:28.Elaine Dunkley reports. There are no words for what it does

:02:29. > :02:37.to a family. Shock is not the word. It is just your whole reality is

:02:38. > :02:43.blown to pieces. In 2014 this woman's son took his own life. He

:02:44. > :02:46.was just 20 years old. He had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. 10

:02:47. > :02:51.weeks later he was dead. Don't discharge patients with inadequate

:02:52. > :02:56.information. The doors were closed for us. We were told to either go to

:02:57. > :03:00.A Amat or the GP and that is the only way to come back. We had no

:03:01. > :03:05.direct access back to the special services. That is wrong. Today the

:03:06. > :03:08.Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to announce plans to reduce

:03:09. > :03:13.the waiting times for patients needing mental health services. The

:03:14. > :03:17.details also include more help from employers when staff need time off

:03:18. > :03:21.work and schools will also be expected to play a bigger role in

:03:22. > :03:26.identifying mentally vulnerable pupils. One of the key concerns is

:03:27. > :03:34.funding. Mental health is still very underfunded compared to other areas

:03:35. > :03:40.of medicine. It generates up to 25% of the total disease burden and yet

:03:41. > :03:49.the funding is 10% - 4%. He was just always making faces. She says

:03:50. > :03:52.talking about her son's life is so important but today she wants the

:03:53. > :03:54.government to take action that will lead to change in mental health

:03:55. > :03:55.services. Our political correspondent Chris

:03:56. > :04:06.Mason is in Westminster for us. There has been a lot of criticism

:04:07. > :04:12.making headlines of the NHS over the weekend. Will it make a difference?

:04:13. > :04:15.Yes, good morning. I think the Prime Minister and Downing Street are

:04:16. > :04:21.aware of the headlines at the moment about the health service. We saw the

:04:22. > :04:24.remarks in the -- from the Red Cross talking about a humanitarian crisis

:04:25. > :04:29.in the health service in England. This speech has been in the diary

:04:30. > :04:33.for the Prime Minister. Time. Part of the bigger picture of what she

:04:34. > :04:37.will talk about will be to create a shared society -- for the Prime

:04:38. > :04:40.will talk about will be to create a Minister for sometime. Be specific

:04:41. > :04:45.mental health, it has been a Cinderella service in the NHS for

:04:46. > :04:48.too long, and it has been associated with too many stigmas and the

:04:49. > :04:53.unwillingness to talk frankly about it. At the same time she will know

:04:54. > :04:58.that in giving this speech she will face lots of questions about the

:04:59. > :05:02.broader health service and questions too about whether funding that is

:05:03. > :05:05.parcelled up for use within mental health services could be spent

:05:06. > :05:09.elsewhere because of pressures on the services elsewhere. What we are

:05:10. > :05:13.also seeing today from the government, not just from the Prime

:05:14. > :05:16.Minister but also from the Foreign Secretary is about a desire to talk

:05:17. > :05:20.about stuff other than Brexit, which will dominate the working life of

:05:21. > :05:24.this government, but the Prime Minister is keen to talk about the

:05:25. > :05:28.health service and the Foreign Secretary is in Washington meeting

:05:29. > :05:32.senior figures of what will soon be the Trump Administration. Yes,

:05:33. > :05:36.Brexit is beat but the business of government rolls on. OK, Chris,

:05:37. > :05:37.thank you very much. We will speak to you later.

:05:38. > :05:39.We'll be speaking to the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt

:05:40. > :05:49.Severe delays are expected in London during this morning's rush hour

:05:50. > :05:51.because of a strike across the entire tube network.

:05:52. > :05:54.Workers from the RMT and the Transport Salaried Staffs'

:05:55. > :05:57.Association are walking out for 24 hours in a dispute over job losses

:05:58. > :06:04.Ben is at Piccadilly tube station for us this morning.

:06:05. > :06:13.Good morning. A damp and miserable start for many trying to make their

:06:14. > :06:17.way into central London. We are here at Piccadilly Circus. You can see

:06:18. > :06:23.the station is deserted at this point. Normally a thriving heart of

:06:24. > :06:28.London's west end. And as you said, the walkout began last night. Let me

:06:29. > :06:32.run you through the details that we know so far. About 4000 ticket

:06:33. > :06:38.office staff went on strike last night, that began at 6pm, they

:06:39. > :06:42.walking out, objecting to closures of ticket offices and the removal of

:06:43. > :06:47.front-line staff on the tube network, and that means in central

:06:48. > :06:53.London most of the stations are closed, including vital transport

:06:54. > :06:56.hubs, like Euston, Victoria, Kings Cross, the train stations you might

:06:57. > :07:01.pass through if coming into London from elsewhere in the country. This

:07:02. > :07:05.is not a story just about London and certainly not central London, it is

:07:06. > :07:09.about the UK economy too, with estimates suggesting this could cost

:07:10. > :07:17.tens of millions of pounds. One estimates suggest ?50 million

:07:18. > :07:22.impacting the UA -- UK economy and people not getting to work. And of

:07:23. > :07:25.course the reputational damage too. Thousands of tourists pass through

:07:26. > :07:30.stations like this everyday. They are not able to so because of the

:07:31. > :07:33.strike. There is concern about what it could mean for London on the

:07:34. > :07:37.international stage. All morning we will hear from both sides of the

:07:38. > :07:41.debate and find out exactly what has caused it and whether there is hope

:07:42. > :07:44.of a resolution. The London Underground network hope they will

:07:45. > :07:48.try to get a normal service up and running tomorrow morning but of

:07:49. > :07:52.course as always with transport strikes would you often find is that

:07:53. > :07:56.trains are in the wrong place at the wrong time and it might take some

:07:57. > :07:59.time before the full service is up and running. More from me a little

:08:00. > :08:03.later. And we will cover that through the morning as well. And in

:08:04. > :08:07.one hour we will speak to the president of the RMT union, that is

:08:08. > :08:09.around 7:10am. Thousands of British drivers hit

:08:10. > :08:11.by the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal are taking legal action

:08:12. > :08:13.against the carmaker. VW admitted using software that

:08:14. > :08:19.would cheat emissions tests, A compensation scheme was approved

:08:20. > :08:21.in the United States last year, and lawyers want British customers

:08:22. > :08:26.to be offered a similar settlement. Thousands of police officers

:08:27. > :08:29.in London are to be asked if they want to be routinely armed

:08:30. > :08:32.with a gun or Taser. A survey by the Metropolitan Police

:08:33. > :08:35.Federation will consult its members A spokesman for the force said

:08:36. > :08:39.the number of officers carrying Tasers has increased twice in recent

:08:40. > :08:42.years and that its weapons policy More than a quarter of young people

:08:43. > :08:54.don't feel in control of their lives according to a survey

:08:55. > :09:00.by the Prince's Trust. Worries about money and recent

:09:01. > :09:02.political events are some of the issues making them feel

:09:03. > :09:05.anxious about their future and it found well-being at its

:09:06. > :09:16.lowest in eight years. For 19-year-old merely worldly

:09:17. > :09:23.getting help was crucial to getting her life back on track after her mum

:09:24. > :09:26.died -- Millie Rawley. I faced a series of relationship breakdowns

:09:27. > :09:30.and different forms of abuse until eventually when I was 16 I became

:09:31. > :09:34.homeless for three months and this was when mental health really

:09:35. > :09:37.declined. After receiving treatment in hospital, Milly is living at the

:09:38. > :09:41.YMCA while doing her A-levels and she is now feeling much happier.

:09:42. > :09:48.Compared to years ago I know that where I want to go, what I want to

:09:49. > :09:51.do and I know how to get there. According to the Prince's Trust,

:09:52. > :09:55.which has supported Milly, more than a quarter of young people don't feel

:09:56. > :09:59.in control of their lives. The charity says well-being for 16 to 25

:10:00. > :10:03.-year-olds is at its lowest level in eight years of research. We need to

:10:04. > :10:09.invest in things like programs in schools that are character building

:10:10. > :10:13.and encourage teamwork. I think we need to invest much more heavily in

:10:14. > :10:17.vocational training and further education sector. Concerns over body

:10:18. > :10:21.image, recent political events including the Brexit vote and the

:10:22. > :10:24.serious situation, as well as money worries, were all raised by the

:10:25. > :10:29.survey, issues these young people say are a concern. Of recent

:10:30. > :10:33.political events and the economic outlook, there is just a really high

:10:34. > :10:39.level of uncertainty. You have to have a certain income... A lot of

:10:40. > :10:44.employers expect you to have lots of experience just even to find an

:10:45. > :10:47.entry level job. While life can be difficult for all young people,

:10:48. > :10:49.Milly says it is important to reach out when you know things are really

:10:50. > :10:51.spiralling out of control. More than 20 people have died

:10:52. > :10:54.as a result of freezing temperatures across much of central

:10:55. > :10:56.and eastern Europe. The cold weather has caused major

:10:57. > :10:59.disruption to utility and transport networks while snow has been

:11:00. > :11:02.recorded as far south Our Central Europe correspondent

:11:03. > :11:22.Nick Thorpe joins us from the banks It looks seriously cold, what is

:11:23. > :11:26.going on? Yes, good morning. It is a very cold morning indeed. Not as

:11:27. > :11:33.cold as yesterday. As you can see behind me, the Danube isn't frozen

:11:34. > :11:37.but huge ice flows floating down. They Appiah couple of days ago.

:11:38. > :11:45.Temperatures in Hungary reaching -28 on the northern border with

:11:46. > :11:50.Slovakia, so very cold in Hungary, with huge disruptions, less so in

:11:51. > :11:54.Hungary, down through the Balkans, Romania, Bulgaria, central Europe,

:11:55. > :12:03.Germany and Austria as well. Quite extraordinary pictures. Thank you

:12:04. > :12:07.very much indeed. We will have more on that. The cold weather will be

:12:08. > :12:09.here by the end of the week. Not quite -28, fear not.

:12:10. > :12:16.It was a big night for the British television spy drama

:12:17. > :12:19.The Night Manager, which stormed to success at the 74th Golden Globe

:12:20. > :12:24.I am not really allowed to say that on the BBC. I think you would have

:12:25. > :12:27.given it all of the awards. I would! Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman

:12:28. > :12:30.and Hugh Laurie all collected prizes Claire Foy was named best actress

:12:31. > :12:36.in a TV drama as the Queen The night belonged to the Hollywood

:12:37. > :12:40.musical La La Land, which took home Our Los Angeles correspondent

:12:41. > :12:51.James Cook reports. Los Angeles, California, where

:12:52. > :12:55.stories are spun and stars are born, a place of glitz and glamour, of

:12:56. > :13:04.counts and gossip, the place they called... La La Land. La La Land.

:13:05. > :13:08.This is a film for dreamers and I think that hope and creativity are

:13:09. > :13:11.two of the most important things in the world and that is what this

:13:12. > :13:15.movie is about. In the television categories it was a British

:13:16. > :13:21.invasion. Claire Foy was named Best Actress in a TV drama for playing

:13:22. > :13:25.the Queen in the crown, and three awards in the BBC production the

:13:26. > :13:30.night manager allowing Hugh Laurie to have a go at Donald Trump. More

:13:31. > :13:34.amazing to say I want is that the last ever Golden Globes. I don't

:13:35. > :13:39.mean to be gloomy, it is just that it has the word Hollywood, foreign

:13:40. > :13:43.and press in the title. Receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award, Meryl

:13:44. > :13:48.Streep also lambasted the president elect and his plan to deport

:13:49. > :13:52.millions of immigrants. So, Hollywood is crawling with outsiders

:13:53. > :13:56.and foreigners, and if we keep them all out you will have nothing to

:13:57. > :14:01.watch button football and mixed martial arts, which are not the

:14:02. > :14:05.arts. Well, Hollywood can be fun and frivolous but it also prides itself

:14:06. > :14:10.on tackling serious subjects. And many stars here on the red carpet

:14:11. > :14:12.are predicting a surge in political films this year following the most

:14:13. > :14:21.divisive of elections. Well, we'd love to speak to anyone

:14:22. > :14:25.from the Night Manager who would like to call us this morning

:14:26. > :14:30.although I suspect they would be busy. Tom Hiddleston, especially.

:14:31. > :14:35.For editorial reasons, of course. Yes. And it was a big FA Cup

:14:36. > :14:40.weekend. No awards for Liverpool yesterday. I am going to shoehorn

:14:41. > :14:45.from the Golden Globes to the FA Cup. Jurgen Klopp fielded

:14:46. > :14:49.Liverpool's youngest ever starting 11 and today he has to defend that

:14:50. > :14:55.choice after failing to beat Plymouth Argyle in the fourth tier

:14:56. > :14:59.of English football, so, leagues below them, and they couldn't beat

:15:00. > :15:03.them at Anfield, soap or old Jurgen Klopp is coming in for some stick.

:15:04. > :15:09.-- so, poor old Jurgen Klopp. Plymouth Argyle caused a shock

:15:10. > :15:13.in the third round of the FA Cup. The League Two side held Liverpool -

:15:14. > :15:16.the team second in the Premier League - to a goalless draw

:15:17. > :15:19.at Anfield, forcing a replay Premier League leaders Chelsea swept

:15:20. > :15:23.past League One Peterborough 4-1. Despite nine changes to their team,

:15:24. > :15:26.two goals from Pedro helped Chelsea There were also wins for Tottenham,

:15:27. > :15:30.Middlesbrough and Fulham. Wasps returned to the top

:15:31. > :15:32.of rugby union's Premiership with a hard-fought victory

:15:33. > :15:34.over Leicester Tigers. It was their 19th straight home win

:15:35. > :15:38.but James Haskell left the field less than a minute into his comeback

:15:39. > :15:49.game, because of a head injury. Johanna Konta ease into the second

:15:50. > :15:52.round of the Sydney International after winning in straight sets.

:15:53. > :16:00.So, yeah, Johanna Konta enjoying the sunshine in Australia, she reached

:16:01. > :16:02.the semifinals last year, so fingers crossed she can do this will this

:16:03. > :16:12.time. Some of the front pages. On the

:16:13. > :16:15.times this morning is our front to make main story as well. A

:16:16. > :16:20.revolution in child mental healthcare. We will be discussing

:16:21. > :16:23.that later on with the Health Secretary. And the main photo is of

:16:24. > :16:27.the Queen who has had a heavy cold for a few weeks. She went to church

:16:28. > :16:33.yesterday in Sandringham, her first public appearance in a month. She

:16:34. > :16:38.has not been well. I think many people have suffered a horrible

:16:39. > :16:42.cold. The Financial Times are talking about the blizzards in

:16:43. > :16:48.Europe and about the North Sea oil platform saying that UK taxpayers

:16:49. > :16:53.are facing a huge bill for the decommissioning of those oil drills.

:16:54. > :16:57.On the Daily Telegraph, many people on the red carpet at the Golden

:16:58. > :17:00.Globes. This is Meryl Streep who was awarded a lifetime achievement at

:17:01. > :17:09.the Golden Globes and the main story is about Waris -- Boris Johnson

:17:10. > :17:17.the Golden Globes and the main story meeting a member of Donald Trump's

:17:18. > :17:27.team. Class-action on volts wagon. That could cost Fozzard and billions

:17:28. > :17:34.of pounds. -- could cost VW billions of pounds. I noticed on Twitter over

:17:35. > :17:37.the weekend you were getting quite a lot of stick from various football

:17:38. > :17:47.fans about why the BBC had chosen to show only Premier League ties. My

:17:48. > :17:53.life is not dictated by this. It does happen a lot. A lot of people

:17:54. > :18:00.getting in touch saying that it is just the Premier League ties? If

:18:01. > :18:04.none of the managers from low league teams say, they ended up with a

:18:05. > :18:07.goalless draw and they will have a replay and they say, look, why was

:18:08. > :18:11.our match not televise? That is what replay and they say, look, why was

:18:12. > :18:16.the FA Cup is about. Lower league teams getting a chance to be on

:18:17. > :18:20.television. In another manager has come out and said that TV money

:18:21. > :18:24.could build new changing room at the clubs. It would be worth about

:18:25. > :18:29.?75,000 of which is about 25% of its budget for a year. So a really big

:18:30. > :18:34.payday for the lower league clubs but, instead, it was, you know, West

:18:35. > :18:39.Ham and Manchester City on Friday night. Save they say that it's a

:18:40. > :18:43.myth for the low clubs and they hope that when they have their replay it

:18:44. > :18:46.will be the lower league clubs to get their moment in the spotlight

:18:47. > :18:52.because, after all, they say that is what the FA Cup is all about. It was

:18:53. > :18:57.a proper nonleague club and it was lovely. That is what the club is

:18:58. > :19:02.about isn't it? I love this story. Part of being in the office is

:19:03. > :19:09.buying tea and taking part in secret Santa... Anyway, they have done a

:19:10. > :19:14.little thing in the Telegraph, eight Santa... Anyway, they have done a

:19:15. > :19:22.working out of how much it costs you for those added extras. They say

:19:23. > :19:29.that it costs ?40,000 over a typical lifetime of being at work to stay in

:19:30. > :19:33.people's good books. It goes towards cups of tea is, secret Santa is,

:19:34. > :19:44.people leaving... That sort of thing. Collections for new babies.

:19:45. > :19:50.The list is fantastic, obviously. Secret Santa, apparently, the

:19:51. > :20:02.average secret Santa gift is ?42. ?! White! Ounces between five and ?10.

:20:03. > :20:11.Christmas parties and dinners cost the average employee Lee ?96. -- the

:20:12. > :20:15.average employee ?96. If you spend that sort of money on secret Santa,

:20:16. > :20:24.let us know. You need to budget better. 40 grand! Incredible. Over

:20:25. > :20:31.your working lifetime. What did you get for your secret Santa, Carol? I

:20:32. > :20:39.think I got a catfish for my cat and many lovely things to wear outdoors

:20:40. > :20:42.on cold broadcasts. Look at this picture this morning in Wales. This

:20:43. > :20:46.is a Weather Watcher picture from yesterday. It is quite murky and

:20:47. > :20:48.that is what is like across many areas at a harbour has also been

:20:49. > :20:52.reined Reding south-east was as we areas at a harbour has also been

:20:53. > :20:55.go through the course of the day. Courtesy of this weather front. Some

:20:56. > :20:59.rain is heavy and it will eventually reach the south-east. If you look at

:21:00. > :21:03.the squeeze on the ice above that will tell you that it will be very

:21:07. > :21:09.has been heavy this morning. If you are travelling watch out for XS

:21:10. > :21:13.service water and spray on the road and if go through the course of this

:21:14. > :21:18.morning, there will be some blustery showers behind it. It will be wintry

:21:19. > :21:21.above above 500 metres. The rabbi at a cloud getting into southern

:21:22. > :21:25.Scotland and northern England, stretching across Wales and entered

:21:26. > :21:31.down into south-west England. Ahead of it, Vista will be a lot of cloud

:21:32. > :21:35.and dampness in the air but as this rain comes it will lift the cloud

:21:36. > :21:38.and the rain will arrive in the south-east through the afternoon.

:21:39. > :21:43.There it goes. Blustery around this band of rain. And behind it, bright

:21:44. > :21:48.skies and sunshine. A lot of showers, wintry on the hill but with

:21:49. > :21:54.exposure on the north and west we are looking at Gales sewed gusts at

:21:55. > :21:57.60, 65 MPh. We are still in mild conditions especially as we pushed

:21:58. > :22:02.down towards the south and the south-east. As we had an through the

:22:03. > :22:07.evening and overnight we need you lose that band of rain. There will

:22:08. > :22:11.also be a touch of frost in some central and eastern areas but

:22:12. > :22:14.already we will have a plethora of showers, some emerging across the

:22:15. > :22:19.north-west. It will still be windy for a time but the wind will either

:22:20. > :22:22.touch in the west as we go through the course of the night. Tomorrow

:22:23. > :22:28.morning we start with the combination. Again, a breezy day, a

:22:29. > :22:31.blustery day, we lose the rain from the south-east and then brighter

:22:32. > :22:34.skies coming across central and eastern areas with sunshine but he

:22:35. > :22:37.comes in next weather front, introducing some more rain and

:22:38. > :22:42.moving from the west towards the east with cloud ahead of it and

:22:43. > :22:47.brighter skies behind. Again, hanging onto this mild air by the

:22:48. > :22:52.skin of our teeth in the south. And then as we move into Wednesday, we

:22:53. > :22:57.continue with the blustery theme. There will be a dry weather around

:22:58. > :23:01.the you may even see the sun. You can see a couple of showers dotted

:23:02. > :23:06.around and some of those could be wintry across the far north of

:23:07. > :23:10.Scotland. The average why is that we are into the cooler air, depending

:23:11. > :23:14.on which end of the country you are in. As we head into the latter part

:23:15. > :23:19.of the week the wind evens out and it will have across the whole of the

:23:20. > :23:22.UK. By the end of the week, there will be a novel north-westerly wind

:23:23. > :23:26.that we look at that is going to turn much colder. Not as cold as it

:23:27. > :23:34.is this morning. Look at southern Europe. Miners 30 in Moscow, -12 in

:23:35. > :23:38.Belgrade, minus three in Athens. These are a good ten to 15 degrees

:23:39. > :23:45.lower than they should be at this stage of the year. The reason for

:23:46. > :23:49.this is because normally we have a Siberian high which is anchored

:23:50. > :23:52.across Russia. How hard you can see it as more of a sausage shape at the

:23:53. > :23:56.moment and what happens with high-pressure is that the echoes

:23:57. > :23:59.around it in a clockwise direction so it is moving up towards the

:24:00. > :24:03.Arctic and pulling this cold air down. Exacerbated by the fact that

:24:04. > :24:06.we also have low pressure off the screen here. That puts it in an

:24:07. > :24:10.anticlockwise direction so it is doing the same thing, pulling the

:24:11. > :24:15.air down towards the Mediterranean. I must say, I am glad I am not there

:24:16. > :24:20.today. So am I. It sounds like we may get a little taste of by the end

:24:21. > :24:23.of this week. We will but it is not connected to what is happening here.

:24:24. > :24:25.We will have a blast of north north-westerly wind. I was watching

:24:26. > :24:27.carefully. See you later. Pets can offer companionship

:24:28. > :24:29.particularly for older people But for elderly animal owners,

:24:30. > :24:35.a change in circumstances can A leading pet charity has told us

:24:36. > :24:45.they're helping more and more people decide what to do if they can't

:24:46. > :25:03.take their pet into a care home Two years ago, this man's wife died.

:25:04. > :25:10.While grieving, in the bond has deepened. He has been everything to

:25:11. > :25:14.me, that dog. Everything. Here's my life, you know. Home for Bob,

:25:15. > :25:19.Margaret and their pet schnauzer was this of time and village near

:25:20. > :25:23.Lockerbie where he still lives. But the owners have told him that his

:25:24. > :25:29.dog can no longer stay. We met at a nearby hotel. They don't like the

:25:30. > :25:35.dog. I want to kick the dog out and I will have to shift. I will have to

:25:36. > :25:45.be on my way. He is my life. Here's my comfort. My chief companion

:25:46. > :25:53.that's what that little dog means to me. I just love that little dog. The

:25:54. > :25:57.owners of the retirement village did not wish to be interviewed but they

:25:58. > :26:02.said they made a difficult decision because the dog had barked and run

:26:03. > :26:05.and visitors, had fouled in all ways and was sometimes left unsupervised.

:26:06. > :26:11.They said they bought in a social worker to set for Bob and others had

:26:12. > :26:14.offered to look after his beloved pet so Bob could still see him.

:26:15. > :26:19.Ultimately they had to take the views of staff and other residents

:26:20. > :26:25.into account. He does bark but it soon dies off. I admit that he has

:26:26. > :26:31.made a mess because I have cleaned it up. But I don't think he has ever

:26:32. > :26:37.annoyed visitors to any great extent. He loves company. When

:26:38. > :26:41.elderly people going to care the prospect of saying goodbye to a much

:26:42. > :26:45.loved pet can be devastating. According to one piece of research,

:26:46. > :26:52.40% of UK care homes describe themselves as pet friendly. But that

:26:53. > :26:57.expression is open to interpretation and there are calls for greater

:26:58. > :27:01.clarity and consistency. An online petition backing Bob now has around

:27:02. > :27:07.80,000 signatures. The owners of his retirement village say they've

:27:08. > :27:14.received threatening e-mail 's. A sign of how difficult and emotive

:27:15. > :27:16.situations like Bobs can be. He's not leaving me. He very loyal to me.

:27:17. > :27:29.I would like to pay him back. Are you already sending your

:27:30. > :27:38.comments about that? It is hard to watch. MSN -- and that says that she

:27:39. > :27:43.believes the dogs can be helpful but about staff with allergies? Another

:27:44. > :27:47.person suggests that it should be looked at on a case-by-case basis.

:27:48. > :27:55.We will be talking about some of those issues later in the programme.

:27:56. > :28:00.From dirty door handles to bacteria on the bedspread.

:28:01. > :28:03.Find out why star ratings and standards in cleanliness don't

:28:04. > :28:20.I have read some of that report and, honestly, it really makes me think

:28:21. > :28:25.about going to hotel rooms at all, really. They are not all bad. Just

:28:26. > :28:29.to reiterate. Though not change the channel. Time now to get the news,

:28:30. > :28:30.travel and weather from where you are. We will be here at 630. Stay

:38:00. > :38:06.I really, really, really wouldn't be here if it wasn't for some

:38:07. > :38:11.extraordinary women. I am going to thank them. One of them is Queen

:38:12. > :38:16.Elizabeth II. She has been at the centre of the world for the past 63

:38:17. > :38:18.years and I think the world could do with a few more women at the centre

:38:19. > :38:23.of it, if you ask me. And we'll speak to the creative

:38:24. > :38:40.minds behind the success There has been some great drama

:38:41. > :38:45.going on. The FA Cup third round, when the draw was made, there were

:38:46. > :38:49.complaints that they were not those beautiful ties, but they have kept

:38:50. > :38:59.us entertained. Did you hear in the award are talking about Fulham

:39:00. > :39:03.versus Cardiff, he was supposed to sell it to the game, and he said,

:39:04. > :39:07.well, it isn't going to grab the headlines, is it, and for those who

:39:08. > :39:15.turn up it won't be exciting. Sell it! Liverpool and Plymouth Argyle

:39:16. > :39:21.provided a shock. It is the kind of game we look out for. I think what I

:39:22. > :39:28.liked most about results like that is the confidence it gives smaller

:39:29. > :39:32.teams. So exciting. Derek Adams, the manager, said his team's performance

:39:33. > :39:36.was one of the best defensive displays that Anfield has ever seen.

:39:37. > :39:41.You cannot knock confidence like that. He has thrown it out there! He

:39:42. > :39:42.has. League Two Plymouth Argyle have

:39:43. > :39:45.earned a replay with Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup

:39:46. > :39:49.after a goalless draw at Anfield. It was the youngest starting line-up

:39:50. > :39:51.in Liverpool history and manager Jurgen Klopp was forced

:39:52. > :39:55.to send for the likes of England striker Daniel Sturridge

:39:56. > :39:56.from the bench. Even he couldn't find a way

:39:57. > :40:01.through the stubborn Plymouth They will now welcome

:40:02. > :40:08.the Premier League giants home. It causes us an extra headache, as

:40:09. > :40:11.it does for Liverpool. It is great for the city. We are still in the

:40:12. > :40:18.next round of the FA Cup as well. Frustrated by the percentages. I

:40:19. > :40:22.knew before the game, actually, with the other line up it could have been

:40:23. > :40:26.exactly the same. We could have encountered the same problem. It is

:40:27. > :40:30.not really likely, but possible. That is a very important experience

:40:31. > :40:35.for the boys. I am happy for this. Obviously they want another game,

:40:36. > :40:38.they deserved it. And now we will go there and try to do that.

:40:39. > :40:40.Premier League leaders Chelsea had no such problems

:40:41. > :40:43.against League One Peterborough United. Chelsea registered 35 shots

:40:44. > :40:45.on goal in their 4-1 victory at Stamford Bridge,

:40:46. > :40:46.Spanish striker Pedro scoring twice.

:40:47. > :40:48.Tottenham overcame a stubborn Aston Villa.

:40:49. > :40:51.After a dreadful first half, they ground out at 2-0 win.

:40:52. > :40:58.Ben Davies scoring his first goal for Spurs.

:40:59. > :41:00.Wasps are confident that England flanker James Haskell will make

:41:01. > :41:03.a quick recovery from the head injury he suffered during his

:41:04. > :41:07.After a seven-month absence, Haskell lasted just 35 seconds

:41:08. > :41:10.in their win over Leicester, which took Wasps back to the top

:41:11. > :41:15.He appeared to be knocked out after a tackle but he was able

:41:29. > :41:31.Dan Evans won his match in Sydney, but Kyle Edmund was knocked out.

:41:32. > :41:34.And Johanna Konta beat Arina Rodionova in straight sets.

:41:35. > :41:37.Konta reached the semi-finals at the Australian Open last year

:42:12. > :42:20.And you know when we were talking about secret Santas and clubbing

:42:21. > :42:23.together? Oh, yeah. There's often talk about football

:42:24. > :42:25.clubs giving back to supporters but here's an example of fans

:42:26. > :42:28.literally giving back to their club. Morecambe manager Jim Bentley

:42:29. > :42:31.was recently fined ?1,000 after being sent from the touchline

:42:32. > :42:33.against Cheltenham. But with the League Two side

:42:34. > :42:35.struggling financially, supporters have clubbed together

:42:36. > :42:38.and given Bentley the cash He was moved to tears

:42:39. > :42:46.by the gesture. He was really quite emotional,

:42:47. > :42:59.wasn't he? , there he is. Oh, bless him. He is gonna go. You have a tear

:43:00. > :43:04.in your eye... Oh, bless him. He did the thing that blokes do, just

:43:05. > :43:12.shrugged his shoulders. I don't care! Oh, that is lovely, that,

:43:13. > :43:16.isn't it? Another nice lower league team story. I can't imagine

:43:17. > :43:21.Manchester United players helping Jose Mourinho. Well, they are fined

:43:22. > :43:23.about 100 grand, aren't they? It's the beginning of a difficult

:43:24. > :43:26.week for commuters with drivers on Southern Rail expected to walk

:43:27. > :43:30.out for three days from tomorrow, and last night station and ticket

:43:31. > :43:33.staff on the London Underground Several rounds of emergency talks

:43:34. > :43:37.had failed to break the deadlock between Transport for

:43:38. > :43:39.London and the Unions. Ben is at Piccadilly tube station

:43:40. > :43:52.for us this morning. Normally it would be incredibly

:43:53. > :43:56.busy, but a no go today. Yes, good morning to you, welcome to the start

:43:57. > :44:01.of a difficult week for commuters, especially in London, the gates at

:44:02. > :44:05.Piccadilly Circus firmly shut, normally of course at this time of

:44:06. > :44:09.day one of the busiest stations on the network right in the heart of

:44:10. > :44:13.London and if you don't know where I am, this would give you a clue, the

:44:14. > :44:18.centre of the West End in London, and it is coming to a halt. There is

:44:19. > :44:23.all sorts of entrances and exits for the tube station here but it is

:44:24. > :44:27.buses and cars and roads that will bear the brunt of this. And remember

:44:28. > :44:34.it is not just about getting around in central London, it is coming into

:44:35. > :44:38.London, network stations like Euston, Paddington, Victoria likely

:44:39. > :44:44.to face problems because those stations are shut. Why is the

:44:45. > :44:47.walkout under way? Here is an industrial relations adviser. Good

:44:48. > :44:53.morning. Why are we in this situation, why is the network not

:44:54. > :44:56.running? This strike is about closures to ticket offices,

:44:57. > :44:58.reductions in staff that have already happened, introduced by the

:44:59. > :45:04.previous mayor. (INAUDIBLE).

:45:05. > :45:14.Owed, the blue screen. Apologies for that. We will speak to the union

:45:15. > :45:18.later on and, of course, if you are affected by it, feel free to get in

:45:19. > :45:23.touch with us. Lots of people I imagine we'll have to walk to work.

:45:24. > :45:27.Yes, in and around London it will be busy on the roads, and nothing on

:45:28. > :45:40.the tubes. We will keep you right up to date.

:45:41. > :45:44.Up to 4 million commuters face significant disruption this morning

:45:45. > :45:48.because of the strike across the entire London Underground network.

:45:49. > :45:57.It is about jobs and ticket office closures. We may not be able to

:45:58. > :46:03.speak to Ben but we can talk to Carol and there is plenty to talk

:46:04. > :46:14.about. It is murky, isn't it? Perfect. Murky is a good way and I'm

:46:15. > :46:17.glad you use it. Take your umbrella out later on because it is murky and

:46:18. > :46:23.London. Rain spreading south-east and it is what across Ireland and

:46:24. > :46:28.Scotland courtesy of this weather front which is continuing south

:46:29. > :46:33.eastwards through the day. Right behind it, look at that squeeze. It

:46:34. > :46:38.will be windy in the north-west with gales. A lot of rain as we have gone

:46:39. > :46:42.through the night so there will be a lot of spray on the roads and

:46:43. > :46:46.surface water this morning. Take care. By the time we reach eight

:46:47. > :46:50.o'clock the rain will be across southern Scotland with showers

:46:51. > :46:55.coming behind and turning colder. A mild start to the day and the rain

:46:56. > :47:01.will come in across the north of England, Wales and also south-west

:47:02. > :47:05.England. Ahead of it there is a lot of low cloud. Murky and damp. A few

:47:06. > :47:10.in the south may see a little bit of brightness but it will not last for

:47:11. > :47:13.long because as we go through the day the rain will continue to sink

:47:14. > :47:20.south. Blustery wind around as a pushes to the south and behind that,

:47:21. > :47:31.right skies with sunshine. Wintry in nature and then we are looking at

:47:32. > :47:36.gusts around 65 MPh. As we had an through the evening and overnight

:47:37. > :47:41.period we lose that rain quickly from the south-east. There will be

:47:42. > :47:44.clearance in the sky. Some frost across parts of central and eastern

:47:45. > :47:49.areas and then a platter of showers coming in. Some merging for longer

:47:50. > :47:52.spells of rain. It will still be windy in the north and that

:47:53. > :47:56.transfers to the north-east and the wind will start to drop a bit in the

:47:57. > :48:02.north-west. As we go into tomorrow's still a cloudy start where we have

:48:03. > :48:05.frost we have clear skies. It will not last because everything will

:48:06. > :48:10.move from the west towards the east so the rain will eventually reach

:48:11. > :48:14.the east over the course of the day. Blustery winds with it. If you step

:48:15. > :48:19.out, it is still mild in the south but colder in the north and you will

:48:20. > :48:23.start to feel let especially if you are exposed to the wind. On

:48:24. > :48:28.Wednesday a lot of dry weather around. There will be sunshine and a

:48:29. > :48:32.lot of cloud at times. Phil showers but as the cool air comes in from

:48:33. > :48:42.the north we will see some showers turning a bit more wintry in nature.

:48:43. > :48:46.The cold air seeps across as all as we had three Thursday and into

:48:47. > :48:50.Friday. The wind will come from the north and it will come down from the

:48:51. > :48:55.Arctic so that means as we head towards the latter part of this

:48:56. > :48:59.week, especially on Friday, we are looking at drifts off snow and that

:49:00. > :49:05.snow could be almost anywhere. But I know means will we all see it. I

:49:06. > :49:10.don't want to build up your expectations but someone will be

:49:11. > :49:16.seeing the all I heard was no almost anywhere. And I'm excited. I know

:49:17. > :49:23.causes big issues but it looks lovely. Thank you, Carol. We will

:49:24. > :49:29.try to reconnect the cup with a very long piece of string down to

:49:30. > :49:34.Picadilly Station. Ben, are you there? I am. Good morning. It is the

:49:35. > :49:38.dampeners that Carol was talking about that is finally reached the

:49:39. > :49:43.camera. 24-hour strike that has crippled the tube network this

:49:44. > :49:48.morning. With me is anti-. We were speaking earlier about why we in

:49:49. > :49:52.this position. What has gone on and why is the tube not running this

:49:53. > :49:58.morning? It is about changes that have already happened, changes to

:49:59. > :50:02.ticket offices and changes to staff. Under Boris Johnson those changes

:50:03. > :50:07.were made and the union is now putting pressure on the new mayor to

:50:08. > :50:12.get that changed. Why are we striking about something that has

:50:13. > :50:16.already happened? The union says we need this stuff on the frontline yet

:50:17. > :50:21.TFL say they can take the staff from the ticket office. Many of the

:50:22. > :50:25.agreements were made 30, 40, 50 years ago when they do not reflect

:50:26. > :50:29.the changes to technology and the way the passengers these days

:50:30. > :50:33.conduct their journeys. What we're seeing here is the employer, TFL, we

:50:34. > :50:37.are trying to make efficiencies and use of staff in a different way to

:50:38. > :50:41.reflect the way that technology has changed the way their journeys take

:50:42. > :50:45.place. The strike is due to end at six o'clock this evening. Is there

:50:46. > :50:52.any hope of an agreement in this long-running dispute? I hope so. I

:50:53. > :50:56.think it will be difficult to see because the unions are trying to

:50:57. > :51:02.project jobs on the Roald agreements. It is difficult to see

:51:03. > :51:10.how they will compromise was unless the employer agrees. Good to talk to

:51:11. > :51:14.you. Thank you for hanging with us while we thought about the technical

:51:15. > :51:18.problems. You heard it there. The strike is under way due went at six

:51:19. > :51:22.o'clock tonight but crucial if you are trying to get around London will

:51:23. > :51:26.be difficult and if you are coming into London, the network train

:51:27. > :51:30.stations will also be affected as far as the underground is concerned.

:51:31. > :51:34.Paddington, Victoria, they are expected to be busy. More from me a

:51:35. > :51:39.little later. Thank you very much and we will speak to the unions at

:51:40. > :51:43.ten past seven. A few posh hotels around that part of London as well.

:51:44. > :51:45.Staying in a 5-star hotel is supposed to be one of the

:51:46. > :51:55.indulgences of life. A rare treat in which

:51:56. > :51:58.the levels of comfort and service justifies the hefty

:51:59. > :52:00.bill that comes with it. But an investigation by the BBC's

:52:01. > :52:03.Rip Off Britain: Holidays programme found that a room in one luxury

:52:04. > :52:07.hotel was teeming with hidden bacteria while a two-star option

:52:08. > :52:13.was almost spotless. It was the last set of samples that

:52:14. > :52:18.were received and they definitely stood out but not in a good way. The

:52:19. > :52:21.last hotel, from all the hotels that we sampled is the dirtiest

:52:22. > :52:25.across-the-board. Almost all of the samples he had high or very high

:52:26. > :52:30.levels of bacteria. Two of them in particular, with the first to spot

:52:31. > :52:37.no guest is likely to be able to avoid. The bathroom door handle, the

:52:38. > :52:41.levels were high and it stands out. Door handles are important to clean.

:52:42. > :52:47.As you leave the toilet the handle is the area everybody has touched

:52:48. > :52:51.and not everybody has a robust handwashing technique and therefore

:52:52. > :53:00.the chances of contamination from the door handle are high. That has

:53:01. > :53:02.not fade as feel great this morning. -- not made us feel great this

:53:03. > :53:02.morning. Liz Smith-Mills is from

:53:03. > :53:13.the British Institute of Cleaning. You would assume that a 5-star hotel

:53:14. > :53:18.would be as clean, at least, as any other hotel. The majority of hotels

:53:19. > :53:22.are spotlessly clean however there are differences in standards.

:53:23. > :53:25.Sometimes you can get higher standards in lower star hotels. It

:53:26. > :53:29.is all down to the level of cleaning and the regimes that are put into

:53:30. > :53:33.place. As well is the training of the staff and how they put

:53:34. > :53:38.procedures in practice into place. It is not surprising that sometimes

:53:39. > :53:42.they are not always what you expect. It could have been one of us in that

:53:43. > :53:49.hotel but there are things to watch out for. Those things are, like you

:53:50. > :53:53.showed, the remote-controls, often has the highest level of

:53:54. > :53:57.contamination, door handles, switches, anything that is a contact

:53:58. > :54:00.point that many people touch a lot of the time. And there are other

:54:01. > :54:05.things you would recommend that people would do. What do you

:54:06. > :54:11.recommend? This is the firing of the skull but you know people who take

:54:12. > :54:15.this with them into hotels. That is really the extreme where people are

:54:16. > :54:21.taking their own sanitiser with them because they are worried that they

:54:22. > :54:24.will pick up and affection. Lots of people carry them these days because

:54:25. > :54:28.there is no water facility sometimes. I was in a hotel recently

:54:29. > :54:33.where the water was cut off because they had an issue. I was latter had

:54:34. > :54:37.hand sanitiser with me. Again, these are extreme measures. I have

:54:38. > :54:40.actually come during the course of an inspection stayed in a hotel

:54:41. > :54:43.where the carpet has made vacuumed well. I have found old nail

:54:44. > :54:52.clippings. Hence the carpet slippers. Everybody, enjoy your

:54:53. > :54:56.cornflakes. Again, you cannot tell about farming. You may assume, for

:54:57. > :55:01.example, that door handles may not be clean but one of the things that

:55:02. > :55:07.really made me not feel very good is about bed covers. Yes. I must admit

:55:08. > :55:11.that the sheets and the pillowcases are changed daily but it is the

:55:12. > :55:16.throw when the cushion, sometimes they are thrown on the floor,

:55:17. > :55:19.sometimes the staff may inadvertently put them on the floor

:55:20. > :55:26.when they change the beds. So, yes... What can you do about that?

:55:27. > :55:40.We recommend that there is regular periodic cleaning of the duvet

:55:41. > :55:45.cover. That has all got to be plan. How long do stuff normally get to

:55:46. > :55:53.clean a room? The industry standard used to be 30 minutes, two rooms an

:55:54. > :55:57.hour. Some companies have cut back and staff are under a lot of

:55:58. > :56:00.pressure and they do not have time to do things like high-level

:56:01. > :56:06.cleaning and attention to detail and that is how things get mist. These

:56:07. > :56:09.are things that you always do,? I like to keep my toothbrush covered

:56:10. > :56:13.because one never knows what is coming out of the toilet when you

:56:14. > :56:17.flush. Also on the bathroom surfaces you never really know what has been

:56:18. > :56:23.put down on the bathroom surfaces. The go. It goes over the head. And

:56:24. > :56:35.you have a shower cap sometimes? Yes. And an come -- I sometimes use

:56:36. > :56:44.a shower cap straight out of the packet and cling to cover my

:56:45. > :56:48.toothbrush. How about the TV remote control? What should I do? There are

:56:49. > :56:52.antibacterial wipes you can use but again it is all down to correct

:56:53. > :57:03.training of staff to carry out these functions. Thank you very much in

:57:04. > :57:06.the meantime. Rip-off British holidays is an immediately after

:57:07. > :57:13.breakfast this morning. Get in touch with us as well. Have you been

:57:14. > :57:21.concerned? Any questions as well. Bring your sanitiser with you.

:57:22. > :57:27.A report out today says we could get more low-carbon power for less money

:57:28. > :57:31.by devolving control over Scottish customers' electricity bills.

:57:32. > :57:33.All UK consumers are set to pay for the government's new nuclear

:57:34. > :57:39.But the study for the Scottish Greens by Aberdeen University

:57:40. > :57:42.suggests Scots could fund almost twice as much power from onshore

:57:43. > :57:49.To achieve this, the Scottish Greens are calling for control over energy

:57:50. > :57:54.Scotland's police watchdog is to examine the way

:58:39. > :58:46.The think tank says that will mean changes to apprenticeships,

:58:54. > :59:04.Good morning. Is very good morning to you at home as well. A very

:03:00. > :03:02.Labour says people are being let down by a lack of funding.

:03:03. > :03:07.Our correspondent Elaine Dunkley reports.

:03:08. > :03:11.There are no words for what it does to a family.

:03:12. > :03:16.It's just your whole reality is blown to pieces.

:03:17. > :03:25.In 2014, Dr Sangeeta Mahajan's son took his own life.

:03:26. > :03:28.He had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

:03:29. > :03:37.Don't discharge patients with adequate information.

:03:38. > :03:49.We were told to either go to A or your GP and that's the only way

:03:50. > :03:53.We had no direct access back to the special services.

:03:54. > :03:57.Today, the Prime Minister, Theresa May, is expected to announce

:03:58. > :04:00.plans to reduce the waiting times for patients needing

:04:01. > :04:03.The details also include more help from employers when staff need time

:04:04. > :04:06.off work, and schools will also be expected to play a bigger role

:04:07. > :04:08.in identifying mentally vulnerable pupils.

:04:09. > :04:12.Mental health is still very underfunded compared to other

:04:13. > :04:27.It generates probably 20%-25% of the total disease burden

:04:28. > :04:30.of all diseases and yet the funding is 10%-12% in this country.

:04:31. > :04:34.Sangeeta says talking about her son's life is so important

:04:35. > :04:37.but today she wants the government to take

:04:38. > :04:44.action that will lead to change in mental health services.

:04:45. > :04:51.Our political correspondent Chris Mason is in Westminster for us.

:04:52. > :04:59.Lots of criticism of the NHS. We saw what the Red Cross said, a

:05:00. > :05:05.humanitarian crisis. This will bring more attention to mental health

:05:06. > :05:08.services. Yes, good morning. Real focus from the Prime Minister on

:05:09. > :05:16.mental health services. She will make a speech in the context of

:05:17. > :05:19.headline after headline on the broader state of the health

:05:20. > :05:22.services. The remarks from the Red Cross repeated by the chief

:05:23. > :05:26.executive of the organisation in an article in the Times this morning,

:05:27. > :05:31.which says those who criticised him for completing the situation in the

:05:32. > :05:36.NHS with war zones around the world are mistaken and that he has looked

:05:37. > :05:40.at the definition as he sees it of a humanitarian crisis and he thinks it

:05:41. > :05:43.is an accurate label for the health service at the moment. The Prime

:05:44. > :05:47.Minister today will say what she will say in a broad context, talking

:05:48. > :05:55.about her philosophy for being Prime Minister. We have heard umpteen

:05:56. > :05:58.amounts of speeches and words about Brexit and she is conscious she

:05:59. > :06:03.doesn't want to be defined by that. She will talk about the shared

:06:04. > :06:06.society. That is her big picture philosophy. It isn't just are

:06:07. > :06:12.setting out an agenda that is more than just Brexit today. The Foreign

:06:13. > :06:15.Secretary Boris Johnson is meeting senior figures in the

:06:16. > :06:17.Secretary Boris Johnson is meeting administration and leading

:06:18. > :06:21.Republicans as well. I think the government is conscious that, love

:06:22. > :06:25.it or hate it, Brexit will dominate the coming months so we have to talk

:06:26. > :06:30.about other stuff as well. Always good to talk to you. Thank you.

:06:31. > :06:43.-- Severe delays are expected in London during this morning's rush

:06:44. > :06:46.hour because of a strike across the entire tube network.

:06:47. > :06:49.Workers from the RMT and the Transport Salaried Staffs'

:06:50. > :06:52.Association are walking out for 24 hours in a dispute over job losses

:06:53. > :06:56.Ben is at Piccadilly tube station for us this morning.

:06:57. > :07:01.It is really strange and quiet. Yes, good morning. Welcome to a cold,

:07:02. > :07:05.damp and frustrating start to the week for many here in London. You

:07:06. > :07:08.will know this is the heart of the West End, normally very busy here,

:07:09. > :07:11.four entrances and exits to Piccadilly Circus alone, but all are

:07:12. > :07:17.closed this morning as the tube strike yet under way. Let me run you

:07:18. > :07:22.through the details. The strike began at 6pm last night when 4000

:07:23. > :07:27.ticket office staff went on strike. They are objecting to job losses and

:07:28. > :07:31.the closure of a number of ticket offices closed by the former Mayor

:07:32. > :07:35.Boris Johnson. That means that here in central London and number of

:07:36. > :07:40.stations are closed. In fact, all of them within the central area. That

:07:41. > :07:44.includes stations you might use if coming into London, that includes

:07:45. > :07:49.Euston, Paddington, Victoria, mainline stations. The tube

:07:50. > :07:55.connections are shut. This isn't just about London or the capital or

:07:56. > :08:00.the south-east, it is about the UK a economy, because estimates suggest

:08:01. > :08:05.this could cost the UK economy ?50 million, and that has a big impact

:08:06. > :08:10.on the wider economy but also on the UK reputation. Thousands of tourists

:08:11. > :08:15.would have passed through this spot trying to get around London, so they

:08:16. > :08:20.won't be able to do so. The strike is getting under way at 6pm, but as

:08:21. > :08:24.we often find out, the trains could be in the wrong place at the wrong

:08:25. > :08:28.time, so it might take much longer to get the services up and running.

:08:29. > :08:32.The unions for their part say the walkout is necessary to protect

:08:33. > :08:34.jobs. We will hear from both sides of the debate over the course of the

:08:35. > :08:38.morning. More from me a later. Thousands of British drivers hit

:08:39. > :08:40.by the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal are taking legal action

:08:41. > :08:42.against the carmaker. VW admitted using software that

:08:43. > :08:44.would cheat emissions tests, leading to a recall

:08:45. > :08:47.of millions of cars worldwide. A compensation scheme was approved

:08:48. > :08:50.in the United States last year, and lawyers want British customers

:08:51. > :08:59.to be offered a similar settlement. Thousands of police officers

:09:00. > :09:02.in London are to be asked if they want to be routinely armed

:09:03. > :09:05.with a gun or Taser. A survey by the Metropolitan Police

:09:06. > :09:08.Federation will consult its members A spokesman for the force said

:09:09. > :09:12.the number of officers carrying Tasers has increased twice in recent

:09:13. > :09:15.years and that its weapons policy More than 20 people have died

:09:16. > :09:30.as a result of freezing temperatures across much of central

:09:31. > :09:32.and eastern Europe. The cold weather has caused major

:09:33. > :09:35.disruption to utility and transport networks while snow has been

:09:36. > :09:53.recorded as far south We will have more on that later on.

:09:54. > :09:58.Yes, snow on the beaches. Amazing. Not the ideal holiday destination.

:09:59. > :10:01.It was a big night for the British television spy drama

:10:02. > :10:05.The Night Manager, which stormed to success at the 74th Golden Globe

:10:06. > :10:08.Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman and Hugh Laurie all collected prizes

:10:09. > :10:12.Claire Foy was named best actress in a TV drama as the Queen

:10:13. > :10:17.The night belonged to the Hollywood musical La La Land, which took home

:10:18. > :10:20.Our Los Angeles correspondent James Cook reports.

:10:21. > :10:22.Los Angeles, California, where stories are spun and stars

:10:23. > :10:25.are born, a place of glitz and glamour, of gowns and gossip,

:10:26. > :10:43.This is a film for dreamers, and I think that hope and creativity

:10:44. > :10:46.are two of the most important things in the world,

:10:47. > :10:51.In the television categories, it was a British invasion.

:10:52. > :10:59.Claire Foy was named Best Actress in a TV Drama for playing the Queen

:11:00. > :11:03.in the Crown, while there were three acting awards in the BBC production

:11:04. > :11:06.the Night Manager, allowing Hugh Laurie to have a go at Donald

:11:07. > :11:13.More amazing to be able say I won the last ever Golden Globes.

:11:14. > :11:18.I don't mean to be gloomy, it's just that it has the word

:11:19. > :11:21.Hollywood, foreign and press in the title, I just

:11:22. > :11:24.Receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award, Meryl Streep also lambasted

:11:25. > :11:27.the President-elect and his plan to deport millions of immigrants.

:11:28. > :11:29.So, Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners,

:11:30. > :11:33.and if we keep them all out you'll have nothing to watch but football

:11:34. > :11:35.and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.

:11:36. > :11:38.Well, Hollywood can be fun and frivolous, but it also prides

:11:39. > :11:43.And many stars here on the red carpet are predicting a surge

:11:44. > :11:45.in political films this year following the most

:11:46. > :12:03.And we'll speak to the creative minds behind the success

:12:04. > :12:13.That is your favourite TV series, isn't it? I absolutely loved it. I

:12:14. > :12:13.think there is another one. We will ask.

:12:14. > :12:16.Widespread disruption is expected in central London during this

:12:17. > :12:19.morning's rush hour because of a 24 hour tube strike that started

:12:20. > :12:23.Staff have walked out in a row over ticket office closures,

:12:24. > :12:27.John Leach is the President of the RMT Union.

:12:28. > :12:42.Thank you for joining us. If you could just give us a picture of this

:12:43. > :12:48.morning. Are their trains running at all? Basically most of the London

:12:49. > :12:53.Underground has been closed this morning as a consequence of this

:12:54. > :12:57.strike. Just a slight correction. I am the RMT regional organiser, not

:12:58. > :13:02.the President. This strike has been called today because we are dealing

:13:03. > :13:06.with a hugely important safety issue across the London Underground

:13:07. > :13:12.involving the removal of 834 frontline uniformed staff and the

:13:13. > :13:16.closure of a number of station control rooms. Your introductory

:13:17. > :13:21.report was inaccurate on that. This has had a devastating impact on the

:13:22. > :13:25.safe running an operation of the London Underground on a daily basis

:13:26. > :13:29.and commuters will be aware of this. Everyday stations are closing, short

:13:30. > :13:35.staffing is a problem and it has impacted my members. The staff who

:13:36. > :13:39.are working there. OK, Steve Griffith, chief operating officer,

:13:40. > :13:44.says, you know this, there is no need to strike, we always intended

:13:45. > :13:48.to review staffing levels and had discussions with the unions. We

:13:49. > :13:54.agree we need more staff in the stations and have started to recruit

:13:55. > :14:01.200 extra staff, so work has already started, so why strike? They just

:14:02. > :14:05.don't get it. The problem is, this is like putting a Band-Aid on a

:14:06. > :14:08.gaping wound. I am not making it as some kind of cheap shot. The London

:14:09. > :14:15.Underground carries 4 million people every day. These passengers are

:14:16. > :14:21.entitled to a safe underground. 200 jobs by next summer is inadequate.

:14:22. > :14:24.We have a crisis here. And it is an emergency that needs attending to.

:14:25. > :14:30.That is a woeful response. It isn't good enough. Thousands of tube staff

:14:31. > :14:35.are under immense pressure to deliver this service every day. They

:14:36. > :14:41.walk out, we will be back tomorrow and we can get around the table.

:14:42. > :14:46.This is a safety issue, safety strike and it is about a safety

:14:47. > :14:50.issue. They are entitled to travel as well. There will be thousands of

:14:51. > :14:54.people affected by the strike. Do you have sympathy with them and will

:14:55. > :15:00.you try to get back to talking for them? Absolutely. They are the heart

:15:01. > :15:06.of this dispute. The running of the safe underground. You need staff to

:15:07. > :15:11.run a railway. It is the oldest part of running railways. You have to

:15:12. > :15:16.have people in place to have a safe system. It cannot be self-service.

:15:17. > :15:21.They need to put back in a task force response to putting this say.

:15:22. > :15:25.And of course we have sympathy with the travelling public and we regret

:15:26. > :15:31.the strike. We have been in weeks of talks but we are up against a brick

:15:32. > :15:36.wall. Let's talk about timing. We know there are strikes planned later

:15:37. > :15:42.on this week. Just a question about timing, why do it now, why in a week

:15:43. > :15:47.when you know commuters will be badly affected? The timing for the

:15:48. > :15:51.strike, the announcement of it, was before Christmas, that was sometime

:15:52. > :15:57.ago, and the reason we did that, we give time between now and when we

:15:58. > :16:02.have the ballot result. It was to enable everyone to get around the

:16:03. > :16:06.table. Weeks, if need be, that was the reason for the timing, nothing

:16:07. > :16:10.else. This next part of the story must be that we get back around the

:16:11. > :16:14.table and the tube management, who privately agree with us on safety,

:16:15. > :16:19.are empowered and resourced to make the London Underground safe. What

:16:20. > :16:25.are you suggesting, more staff, presumably costing more money, which

:16:26. > :16:30.means a rise in ticket prices, so what kind of rise would you think is

:16:31. > :16:34.acceptable? I don't think it should result in a rising ticket prices,

:16:35. > :16:39.they are high and. The resources need be realised by the Mayor and

:16:40. > :16:43.the powers that be. The passengers shouldn't have to suffer this. They

:16:44. > :16:49.are at the heart of this dispute. Their safety is a major concern.

:16:50. > :16:55.That is not a solution we would want to see at all. Thank you for your

:16:56. > :16:56.time this morning. And I should of course correct myself that he is not

:16:57. > :16:59.the President. Correct, yes. You're watching

:17:00. > :17:01.Breakfast from BBC News. Theresa May will use a major speech

:17:02. > :17:05.today to encourage schools and employers to do more to help

:17:06. > :17:09.those with mental health problems. Up to four million commuters face

:17:10. > :17:11.significant disruption this morning because of a strike

:17:12. > :17:14.across the entire London Underground network over jobs and

:17:15. > :17:35.ticket office closures. Let's get some weather with Carol.

:17:36. > :17:42.It is looking a little grim out there, Carol. Murk sums it up

:17:43. > :17:49.beautifully. It is a murky start and a wet start for some. A lot of cloud

:17:50. > :17:53.around and rain spreading across parts of Scotland and Northern

:17:54. > :17:58.Ireland. That is courtesy of this weather front continuing its journey

:17:59. > :18:03.moving south-east at. Behind it you can see that it will be windy in the

:18:04. > :18:08.north-west. A little rain already this morning coming in from Scotland

:18:09. > :18:13.and Northern Ireland heading into the west of England and Wales. Watch

:18:14. > :18:23.out for surface water and spray on the road. Behind that, showers. The

:18:24. > :18:30.same full Ireland. They will return to showers and brighter skies. Down

:18:31. > :18:35.into the south-west, the rain. Low cloud ahead of it with dampness in

:18:36. > :18:39.the air. Brightness across Southern counties but it will not last

:18:40. > :18:47.because here is the weather front heading south-east was as we go

:18:48. > :18:54.through the day. Behind each we see a return to bright skies, sunshine,

:18:55. > :19:01.showers coming in wintry above 500 metres in the hills in Scotland and

:19:02. > :19:09.increasing wind strength. 65 MPh. The rain will clear Kent in the

:19:10. > :19:14.evening with clear skies behind it. Here we could see a touch of frost

:19:15. > :19:19.but showers gathering in from the west. Some merging for lovely spells

:19:20. > :19:26.of rain. Very slowly what you will find is you see the wind start to

:19:27. > :19:30.ease in the north-west. Through tomorrow, still a blustery day.

:19:31. > :19:34.Where there is frost we will begin with clear skies so some sunshine

:19:35. > :19:38.but out towards the west another weather front will introduce more

:19:39. > :19:43.cloud and rain and that band is moving from west to east through the

:19:44. > :19:49.day. Again brighter skies behind it. Still mild in the south Hull as we

:19:50. > :19:57.push south with the colder conditions come in. A lot of dry

:19:58. > :20:01.weather around for Wednesday. With colder coming in again across the

:20:02. > :20:08.north the showers will increasingly turn in the north and west and it

:20:09. > :20:11.will feel cold. Temperature is in Edinburgh five degrees Celsius. As

:20:12. > :20:16.we push towards the south it turns into eight and nine. Then the cold

:20:17. > :20:21.blast coming from the Arctic. What that will do by the end of the week

:20:22. > :20:25.is introduce some snow. At the moment we think, and it could

:20:26. > :20:28.is introduce some snow. At the change, that will be across north

:20:29. > :20:34.Scotland, north-west England, Wales and the Moors in the south-west. A

:20:35. > :20:39.huge dash of doubt with that because it could change through the course

:20:40. > :20:45.of the week. Thank you very much, Carol and we will see you later. And

:20:46. > :20:46.Arctic blast later in the week. Prepare yourself.

:20:47. > :20:50.Last July, on the day Theresa May became Prime Minister she addressed

:20:51. > :20:52.the problem of mental health provision, pledging to make sure

:20:53. > :20:54.there was more help for those in need.

:20:55. > :20:58.Today, she intends to make good on that promise by announcing a set

:20:59. > :21:00.of reforms she says will "transform" those services.

:21:01. > :21:02.Labour's Shadow Health Secretary Jon Ashworth joins us

:21:03. > :21:11.Good morning to you and thank you for your time this morning. When you

:21:12. > :21:17.look at some of the measures she will announce today, support for

:21:18. > :21:20.schools, a partnership with employer, alternatives to hospital

:21:21. > :21:24.care, it is hard for you to argue that any of those do not need to be

:21:25. > :21:29.changed. Are they not good measures? Yes. That is why we announced that

:21:30. > :21:35.they would be our policies a few months ago. Yes, we welcome but what

:21:36. > :21:42.I would say it is good that Theresa May has woken up to the crisis but

:21:43. > :21:47.her government has presided over a situation where we have 6000 plus

:21:48. > :21:52.fewer nurses working in mental health, fewer mental health beds and

:21:53. > :21:57.in deed, budgets have been raided in this country and the money shifted

:21:58. > :22:01.to trying to fill gaps in the wider NHS. So, yes. We welcome the

:22:02. > :22:06.initiative. We have been calling for them. The reality is that mental

:22:07. > :22:10.health provision in this country has been severely cut back over the last

:22:11. > :22:16.six years. Is it a question of funding then? How much it would

:22:17. > :22:22.Labour spend on mental health and where does the money come from? What

:22:23. > :22:25.we say is that the NHS as a whole is going through the biggest financial

:22:26. > :22:32.squeeze in its history. By next year, money per head will be cut

:22:33. > :22:37.across the entire country for the NHS. Huge cuts to social care

:22:38. > :22:41.budgets as well and mental health provision has been cut back

:22:42. > :22:45.severely. That is why we are now seeing a big crisis facing the NHS

:22:46. > :22:53.this winter. I as to where the money would come from. Where you would

:22:54. > :22:57.spend it. A priority we have made is that the reason the NHS is in a

:22:58. > :23:03.crisis this winter is because of cuts to social care. For example,

:23:04. > :23:07.pounds that will come in, we are asking the government to put that

:23:08. > :23:10.into social care today. On mental health provision more generally,

:23:11. > :23:13.when we get closer to the next general election we will come

:23:14. > :23:18.forward with our balance for mental health provision. What we shouldn't

:23:19. > :23:22.forward with our balance for mental have is what we currently have at

:23:23. > :23:25.the moment, children's mental health budgets being cut and that money

:23:26. > :23:32.being allocated to the wider NHS because of the wider underfunding in

:23:33. > :23:36.the NHS. That is not acceptable. It is a disgrace and is Theresa May

:23:37. > :23:41.wants to shine a light on mental health provision in this country she

:23:42. > :23:44.should shine a light on her own budget decisions and ask the

:23:45. > :23:52.Chancellor to bring forward money so that these budgets do not have to be

:23:53. > :23:56.cut. The money is a massive issue across the NHS, not just in mental

:23:57. > :24:00.health. Do you feel that these issues and changing money, putting

:24:01. > :24:04.some he ran some but, essentially all you can do is move cutlery

:24:05. > :24:10.around a broken table. There are fundamental issues with the health

:24:11. > :24:15.service. One big issue is that we have an ageing population who live

:24:16. > :24:20.longer. As we live longer we have more complex needs. That is a good

:24:21. > :24:24.thing but it means you have to put the money into community health and

:24:25. > :24:28.social care to deal and support elderly and vulnerable people. The

:24:29. > :24:34.government have cut back social care sector by 4.5 billion which is why

:24:39. > :24:42.elderly and vulnerable people are trapped in hospital with nowhere

:24:43. > :24:46.suitable for them to go in the wider community. That is why we see these

:24:47. > :24:53.huge pressures now. It is why we see people on trolleys for over 24 hours

:24:54. > :24:58.in hospital corridors. It is why we see ambulances backed up. It is why

:24:59. > :25:03.we see accident and emergency is turning people away. It is why we

:25:08. > :25:11.Unless you deal with the social care crisis in this country, you will not

:25:12. > :25:15.deal with the wider pressure on the NHS. We will put some of those

:25:16. > :25:19.points to Jeremy Hunt in the next half-hour or so. And for people

:25:20. > :25:24.watching this morning who agree that the NHS is in trouble. If you were

:25:25. > :25:31.in power tomorrow, what is one concrete plan you have to make a

:25:32. > :25:35.change? We would not go ahead with a corporation tax cut. We would stop

:25:36. > :25:39.that tax cut and we would reallocate some of that money to the pagers so

:25:40. > :25:43.there would be an immediate cash injection which will relieve some of

:25:44. > :25:52.these pressures. Thank you for your time. We will speak to Jeremy Hunt

:25:53. > :25:55.later on this morning. 25 past seven at the moment. You watching

:32:44. > :32:48.week. That is your sneak preview. Now, the sport, and no sneak preview

:32:49. > :32:53.is going on. We are starting off with Plymouth Argyle and the draw

:32:54. > :32:57.against Liverpool at Anfield, and we were talking about the confidence

:32:58. > :33:06.that results like that in the FA Cup for a team like Plymouth Argyle, and

:33:07. > :33:10.the managers said it was one of the best displays Anfield has seen, and

:33:11. > :33:16.some awkward from him, he was asked what Liverpool could expect on the

:33:17. > :33:18.south coast and he said, welcome to the real world. It is going to be

:33:19. > :33:18.feisty. League Two Plymouth Argyle have

:33:19. > :33:21.earned a replay with Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup

:33:22. > :33:25.after a goalless draw at Anfield. It was the youngest starting line-up

:33:26. > :33:28.in Liverpool history and manager Jurgen Klopp was forced to send

:33:29. > :33:31.for the likes of England striker Even he couldn't find a way

:33:32. > :33:35.through the stubborn They will now welcome

:33:36. > :33:38.the Premier League giants home. It causes us an extra headache,

:33:39. > :33:41.as it does for Liverpool. We are still in the next

:33:42. > :33:52.round of the FA Cup as well. I knew before the game, actually,

:33:53. > :33:57.with the other line up it could have We could have encountered

:33:58. > :34:00.the same problem. It is not really

:34:01. > :34:02.likely, but possible. That is a very important

:34:03. > :34:04.experience for the boys. Obviously they want another

:34:05. > :34:08.game, they deserved it. And now we will go there

:34:09. > :34:14.and try to do that. Premier League leaders Chelsea

:34:15. > :34:16.had no such problems against League One

:34:17. > :34:17.Peterborough United. Chelsea registered 35 shots on goal

:34:18. > :34:20.in their 4-1 victory at Stamford Bridge, Spanish striker

:34:39. > :34:39.a stubborn Aston Villa. After a dreadful first half,

:34:40. > :34:42.they ground out at 2-0 win. Ben Davies scoring his

:34:43. > :34:44.first goal for Spurs. Middlesbrough and Fulham also went

:34:45. > :34:51.through to tonight's draw. Wasps are confident that England

:35:10. > :35:18.been in action overnight, in the run-up to

:35:19. > :35:20.the Australian Open. Dan Evans won his match in Sydney,

:35:21. > :35:23.but Kyle Edmund was knocked out. And Johanna Konta beat

:35:24. > :35:26.Arina Rodionova in straight sets. Konta reached the semi-finals

:35:27. > :35:28.at the Australian Open last year and she's had a pretty good

:35:29. > :35:31.start to the season. In the BDO World Darts

:35:32. > :35:33.Championships, three-time champion Martin "Wolfie" Adams came

:35:34. > :35:36.from behind to beat fellow Englishman Ryan Joyce 3-2,

:35:37. > :35:38.and reach the second round. There was no dividing the pair

:35:39. > :35:42.so the fifth set went to sudden death and Adams finished

:35:43. > :35:44.with a double nine to take England's Lisa Ashton beat

:35:45. > :35:51.Sharon Prins of the Netherlands to reach the second

:35:52. > :35:53.round in the women's draw. Ashton has won this title twice,

:35:54. > :35:56.and she looked comfortable There's often talk about football

:35:57. > :36:04.clubs giving back to supporters but here's an example of fans

:36:05. > :36:07.literally giving back to their club. Morecambe manager Jim Bentley

:36:08. > :36:10.was recently fined ?1,000 after being sent from the touchline

:36:11. > :36:12.against Cheltenham. But with the League Two side

:36:13. > :36:14.struggling financially, supporters have clubbed together

:36:15. > :36:28.and given Bentley the cash He looks quite stoic about it to

:36:29. > :36:37.begin with. The emotion of the occasion gets to him in the end.

:36:38. > :36:47.Apparently the club was struggling to make ends meet. Yes, he is a bit

:36:48. > :36:48.of a legend. It is nice to see, isn't it, a bit of charity in

:36:49. > :36:50.football as well. Pets can make a huge

:36:51. > :36:52.difference to our lives... If you're a pet owner you'll know

:36:53. > :36:55.that and they can offer companionship particularly for older

:36:56. > :36:58.people who feel isolated. But for elderly animal owners,

:36:59. > :37:00.a change in circumstances can A leading pet charity has told us

:37:01. > :37:05.they're helping more and more people decide what to do if they can't

:37:06. > :37:09.take their pet into a care home While grieving,

:37:10. > :37:22.the bond has deepened. He has been everything

:37:23. > :37:24.to me, that dog. Home for Bob, Margaret and their pet

:37:25. > :37:34.schnauzer was this retirement village near Lockerbie

:37:35. > :37:36.where Bob still lives. But the owners have

:37:37. > :37:38.told him that his My chief companion, that's what that

:37:39. > :38:00.little dog means to me. The owners of the

:38:01. > :38:11.retirement village did not wish to be interviewed

:38:12. > :38:14.but they said they made a difficult decision because the dog

:38:15. > :38:16.had barked and run and visitors, had fouled in hallways

:38:17. > :38:19.and was sometimes left unsupervised. They said they bought in a social

:38:20. > :38:23.worker for Bob and others had offered to look after his beloved

:38:24. > :38:26.pet so Bob could still see him. Ultimately they had to take

:38:27. > :38:29.the views of staff and other I admit that he has made a mess

:38:30. > :38:39.because I have cleaned But I don't think he has

:38:40. > :38:42.ever annoyed visitors When elderly people go into care,

:38:43. > :38:54.the prospect of saying goodbye to a much-loved pet

:38:55. > :38:57.can be devastating. According to one piece of research,

:38:58. > :39:00.40% of UK care homes describe But that expression

:39:01. > :39:03.is open to interpretation and there are calls for greater

:39:04. > :39:07.clarity and consistency. An online petition backing

:39:08. > :39:10.Bob now has around The owners of his retirement

:39:11. > :39:12.village say they've A sign of how difficult and emotive

:39:13. > :39:16.situations like Bobs can be. We're joined now by Diane James

:39:17. > :39:48.from the Blue Cross Pet Bereavement Support Service, and Rob Martin

:39:49. > :39:57.from the not for profit care Thank you both indeed for joining

:39:58. > :40:03.us. You can see he is clearly upset and it is really difficult for him.

:40:04. > :40:09.I know you deal with people facing problems like these. It can be

:40:10. > :40:13.really upsetting for people. It can, losing their pet, their last

:40:14. > :40:18.connection to a loved one or family, and it gives them a sense of

:40:19. > :40:23.routine, so the change is huge. Talk us through the discussion you had a

:40:24. > :40:27.bout allowing pets into care homes? The first thing to say it is it is

:40:28. > :40:35.important care home providers have a pet friendly policy. Because we have

:40:36. > :40:37.a pet friendly policy in place, that discussion would usually look at

:40:38. > :40:44.different things. So, the first discussion would usually look at

:40:45. > :40:49.different things. So, the first one would be the characteristics and

:40:50. > :40:58.behaviours of the pet. So, how does the pet behave? And the second would

:40:59. > :41:03.be looking at potential for infections. So, are they immunised,

:41:04. > :41:11.well groomed, looked after? The third is, does it have the potential

:41:12. > :41:17.for impact on anyone else in the home's so, for example, if someone

:41:18. > :41:22.has an allergy or a fear of attack. If someone is going to one of your

:41:23. > :41:31.care homes, it is not a given they will be allowed in? I think that is

:41:32. > :41:37.why it is important to have clear policy guidelines in place. It is

:41:38. > :41:47.important to make the right decision each time. It is really important to

:41:48. > :41:52.write to these people to explain why we would go and accept or reject a

:41:53. > :41:56.pet in a home. A pet for one person is a friend for life and for others

:41:57. > :42:00.it would be a real nuisance. We understand that and we know that not

:42:01. > :42:05.all pets would be suitable, that is why we want a pet policy introduced

:42:06. > :42:10.so everyone knows the responsibility. What are the options

:42:11. > :42:15.for those who cannot take their pets into the care home? The charity Blue

:42:16. > :42:19.Cross has a couple of options, pets into care scheme, free to register,

:42:20. > :42:27.but you need to register before going into care. If the pet outlives

:42:28. > :42:32.you, we can free -- free home it. Looking at the numbers, there are

:42:33. > :42:37.big numbers of pets having to be rehomed. Yes. As a charity we have

:42:38. > :42:41.found that with the ageing population there is an increase in

:42:42. > :42:45.the call line from distressed people and other lines about the need to

:42:46. > :42:50.take pets into care. In your care homes, where are the pets, are they

:42:51. > :42:54.running free, what are they doing? It is a case-by-case basis. In some

:42:55. > :43:01.cases where appropriate they are kept in rooms. Advanced planning is

:43:02. > :43:06.put in place to make decisions about where they can go. More often than

:43:07. > :43:10.not it is -- there are good examples where pets become part of the whole

:43:11. > :43:13.home. They are widely accepted by everyone and everyone sees the

:43:14. > :43:21.benefit of the pet. They are allowed into the lounge areas. Going back to

:43:22. > :43:26.making sure that prior to admission, robust plans are made and that we

:43:27. > :43:28.consider the needs of the other residents as well. And the wishes of

:43:29. > :43:32.the other residents and the decisions made. Looking at the

:43:33. > :43:34.comments we have been getting today, there have been loads, one says,

:43:35. > :43:38.each case has to be considered on there have been loads, one says,

:43:39. > :43:42.the merit, I would never leave mine behind. Ken says, no, they shouldn't

:43:43. > :43:46.be allowed, most cannot look after them, leaving the staff to look

:43:47. > :43:50.after them. This could be a difficult subject to approach will

:43:51. > :43:54.stop some pets don't take to living in a home with other people and

:43:55. > :43:58.become territorial. And some of those things are very true and that

:43:59. > :44:03.is why we have a pet policy. The responsibility is on people to look

:44:04. > :44:06.after the pets, walk them, and if the person is ill, a member of

:44:07. > :44:11.family can take care, that registration, lots of things. We

:44:12. > :44:16.work with Blue Cross and RSPCA and various other charities and we take

:44:17. > :44:21.advice from them when we have these situations. Of course they will at

:44:22. > :44:27.times be troubled with settling new environments. I think it is being

:44:28. > :44:33.aware of that. What is the most interesting? We have ducks,

:44:34. > :44:41.chickens, we have a parrot in one home, yes. So, we have a huge

:44:42. > :44:50.variety. Absolutely. Oh, OK. There you go. It was good to talk to you.

:44:51. > :44:52.It is coming up to 7:45am. Theresa May will use a major speech to

:44:53. > :44:55.encourage schools and employers May will use a major speech to

:44:56. > :44:59.do more to help those with mental health problems. Up to 4 million

:45:00. > :45:02.commuters face significant disruption this morning because of a

:45:03. > :45:04.strike across the entire London Underground network over jobs and

:45:05. > :45:13.the closure of some ticket offices. There is a lot going on with the

:45:14. > :45:18.weather but luckily Carol can tell is all about it. Good morning to you

:45:19. > :45:22.both. If it is not raining where you are neither has rained or it is

:45:23. > :45:26.going to rain. There is a band of rain heading south eastwards. That

:45:27. > :45:31.will cross the whole of the UK. That is courtesy of this weather front

:45:32. > :45:34.that is crossing Scotland. It is getting in across northern England

:45:35. > :45:40.and also west Wales and the south-west. It is accompanied by

:45:41. > :45:44.dusting winds. You can see what we have already had. If you are

:45:45. > :45:48.travelling, watch out for XS surface water. As we go through the rest of

:45:53. > :45:56.currently have. We will see transient rain is in the south-east

:45:57. > :46:03.big we have all this rain coming our way. Bright skies behind it but

:46:04. > :46:07.still some showers. A special across parts of Scotland and Northern

:46:08. > :46:12.Ireland. We are also looking at strengthening winds across the

:46:13. > :46:18.north-west touching gales forth with -- touching dour force with

:46:19. > :46:22.exposure. A love of dry weather here as well with the sunshine. Here is

:46:23. > :46:26.the rain continuing to push down towards the south-east leaving a

:46:27. > :46:30.legacy of cloud in its wake. Generally speaking, for most it will

:46:31. > :46:35.be a mild day but cold air feeding in. That will clear by teatime

:46:36. > :46:40.allowing some clear spells to develop. Here tonight there could be

:46:41. > :46:43.a touch of frost and we will see a lot of showers, some of them merging

:46:44. > :46:46.and coming in across the north-west. By then the strongest winds will

:46:48. > :46:51.transport towards the north-east. That is how we start the game

:46:52. > :46:55.tomorrow. Another blustery day we showers. In the east where we have

:46:56. > :46:59.the frost we also have clear skies first thing so we look at some

:47:00. > :47:03.sunshine. But another weather front coming in from the west will

:47:04. > :47:07.introduce some rain as it pushes from the west towards the east. The

:47:08. > :47:11.cloud building ahead of that rain and an arena will rise. Behind it

:47:12. > :47:16.bright skies with sunshine and a few showers. For most of us are still it

:47:17. > :47:20.is mild but especially in the south. Temperatures are starting to change

:47:21. > :47:23.across the far north. That will happen even more so on Wednesday.

:47:24. > :47:27.Again we have some showers and some will be wintry across the northern

:47:28. > :47:32.western Scotland. For most of the UK it will be a dry day. Some sunshine,

:47:33. > :47:36.a little bit of cloud at times and it will also be breezy. Looking at

:48:00. > :48:03.turn much colder. And for those of you asking if we will see snow, the

:48:04. > :48:09.answer is yes. Possibly later on Thursday in the north stopped during

:48:10. > :48:12.the course of Friday and Saturday further south. Not everyone will see

:48:13. > :48:18.it, by any stretch but we think at the moment and this could change,

:48:19. > :48:23.the most likely areas will be the north and west. North-west England,

:48:24. > :48:27.north Scotland, north-west Wales and the moors in the south-west. So

:48:28. > :48:34.watch this space. What is interesting about our possible snow.

:48:35. > :48:38.If it is not connected to what is going on in southern Europe, is it?

:48:39. > :48:42.That is right. Temperatures of this morning in Moscow are -30 and in

:48:43. > :48:46.Athens, minus three. That is 10- 15 degrees lower than it should be this

:48:47. > :48:50.time of year and they are pulling their wind from the Arctic comes

:48:51. > :48:52.down from the east. I will tell you more about later on in the

:48:53. > :48:59.programme. A lot of Golden Globes talk from

:49:00. > :49:02.last night. One of those desperate moments were you cannot get the

:49:03. > :49:06.winners because you don't know who they are when you go to print. The

:49:07. > :49:11.front page of the Telegraph as Meryl Streep who received a lifetime

:49:12. > :49:14.achievement award. She had a bit of a poke at Donald Trump as well. She

:49:21. > :49:24.their main story is about Boris Johnson and this flight to New York

:49:29. > :49:33.Trump. Amy Adams and Natalie Portman, they are contenders for the

:49:34. > :49:42.Golden Globes. We note that the Night Manager has done incredibly

:49:43. > :49:45.well. This 30 years... They all won Best actors, best supporting back

:49:46. > :49:51.to. A fantastic night. Later on we will speak to the executive producer

:49:52. > :49:55.of the programme. I know it is your favourite programme of the year. I

:49:56. > :50:01.want to know if there is going to be a second series. I just hope areas.

:50:02. > :50:05.We will can clear that up later. And the Queen is on the front page of

:50:06. > :50:09.many papers as well. A front page of the Times newspaper getting better.

:50:10. > :50:14.The Queen ventured out in the public are the first time in a month a

:50:15. > :50:18.heavy cold kept indoors. There is one little story on the inside pages

:50:19. > :50:25.here. I would like to mention it. A little golfing gadget that has been

:50:26. > :50:28.made. Patterns in all areas. For years we have known about brainwaves

:50:29. > :50:34.and things that can disrupt the way of thinking and the smoothness and

:50:35. > :50:39.calmness. Scientists have tested a number of golfers and what they have

:50:40. > :50:48.done is put a programme ahead that plays a bass tone when you are

:50:49. > :50:55.concerned about taking a putt and/or putt improves by 42%. Isn't there? A

:50:56. > :51:02.big night for the night manager, storming to success at the Golden

:51:23. > :51:26.are born, a place of glitz and glamour, of gowns and gossip,

:51:27. > :51:37.This is a film for dreamers, and I think that hope and creativity

:51:38. > :51:41.are two of the most important things in the world,

:51:42. > :51:47.In the television categories, it was a British invasion.

:51:48. > :51:51.Claire Foy was named Best Actress in a TV Drama for playing the Queen

:52:13. > :52:17.the President-elect and his plan to deport millions of immigrants.

:52:18. > :52:20.So, Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners,

:52:21. > :52:24.and if we keep them all out you'll have nothing to watch but football

:52:25. > :52:30.and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.

:52:31. > :52:33.Well, Hollywood can be fun and frivolous, but it also prides

:52:34. > :52:42.And many stars here on the red carpet are predicting a surge

:52:43. > :52:44.in political films this year following the most

:52:45. > :53:00.The good news is we will be talking about that little later. We have not

:53:01. > :53:05.yet had a call from Hugh Laurie, we were hoping to hear from him. You

:53:06. > :53:10.were desperate, won't you? We will be speaking to Jeremy Hunt shortly.

:53:11. > :53:17.Earlier we were discussing the high price of working in an office. You

:53:18. > :53:21.know the whip around, getting tea or cake. Christmas presents, alcohol.

:53:22. > :53:26.Over your working life time it is likely that a typical worker can

:53:27. > :53:35.expect to spend ?40,000 to purchase all those extra things. But,

:53:36. > :53:43.December is the coolest months. December costs the average employee

:53:44. > :53:49.?96. And this is what amazes us. ?42 goes to secret Santa. Not in our

:53:50. > :53:56.office. We only say it because we set a limit, don't we? That is the

:53:57. > :54:02.whole point. You would spend that on a family member. It is an awful lot

:54:03. > :54:11.of muggy. Talking cash, would you ever ask for a discount? I think you

:54:12. > :54:19.would. A survey suggests that nearly two thirds of us who tried to get a

:54:20. > :54:23.bargain have managed it. Do you try? I tried. But when they go silent I

:54:24. > :54:27.get worried. We have been asking customers where they have tried

:54:28. > :54:36.haggling and, most importantly, work for them? A furniture store. Buying

:54:37. > :54:43.a car. Anywhere like that, yeah. Recently I have. I got ?100 from

:54:44. > :54:52.haggling. Most prices are fixed. You wouldn't haggle with them. I don't

:54:53. > :54:59.try and department stores but places like this. I have had good here and

:55:00. > :55:03.it has paid off. Maybe with a carbon would not hear. It is all home made.

:55:04. > :55:08.I feel like that would be taking their muggy a little bit. I think I

:55:09. > :55:16.would have to be feeling quite brave. Other than that, probably

:55:17. > :55:24.not, no. I've tried for a bargain. The best haggle I have ever had...

:55:25. > :55:34.Coconuts. Coconuts. I got comprised half down. I took 12 coconuts home

:55:35. > :55:42.to my family. So, yeah. Halfprice coconuts. ?800 off a car. So, would

:55:43. > :55:47.you ask? I might. I might ask if there was any chance of a discount.

:55:48. > :55:52.Even in a high-street shop. Sometimes, you do get a discount. It

:55:53. > :55:59.is worth a try. Let us know. Are you a haggle as to not e-mail us at our

:56:00. > :56:10.website or share your thoughts with other viewers on Facebook. I'm going

:56:11. > :56:17.to see is being silent works. This will work now, watch. You are

:56:18. > :56:18.watching breakfast and he will speak eventually. Still to come this

:56:19. > :56:20.morning... From dirty door handles

:56:21. > :56:24.to bacteria on the bedspread. Find out why a TV remote control

:56:25. > :56:27.could harbour hidden danger. Time now to get the news,

:56:28. > :56:30.travel and weather where you are. Silence is a great tactic. People

:56:31. > :56:39.like me feel you have to fill it. A report out today says we could get

:56:40. > :56:43.more low-carbon power for less money by devolving control over Scottish

:56:44. > :56:47.customers' electricity bills. All UK consumers are set to pay

:56:48. > :56:50.for the government's new nuclear But the study for the Scottish

:08:42. > :08:50.on the River Danube. How bad has it been? It has been very cold indeed,

:08:51. > :08:57.-28 registered in the north of Hungary, yesterday, the weather has

:08:58. > :09:02.grown milder this morning which means more snow is threatened in

:09:03. > :09:07.different parts, not only in Hungary but Romania, Bulgaria and the

:09:08. > :09:14.Balkans. Schools closed in Romania and Bulgaria today because of these

:09:15. > :09:20.extreme conditions. Thanks. You can see the ice flowing down the river.

:09:21. > :09:24.Extraordinary pictures. The weather will get colder here but nothing to

:09:25. > :09:28.do with the weather currently in Central Europe. We have an arctic

:09:29. > :09:33.blast coming south. You have been listening. I have been

:09:34. > :09:36.listening to Carol. It was a big night.

:09:37. > :09:38.It was a big night for the British television spy drama

:09:39. > :09:41.'The Night Manager' which stormed to success at the 74th

:09:42. > :09:45.Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman and Hugh Laurie all collected

:09:46. > :09:51.The night belonged to the Hollywood musical La La Land, which took home

:09:52. > :09:56.Claire Foy, star of Netflix's The Crown,

:09:57. > :10:10.We will be speaking to one of the people behind The Night Manager. I

:10:11. > :10:13.think the actors are probably celebrating still.

:10:14. > :10:19.Enjoying themselves, the official term. We will speak to them later.

:10:20. > :10:22.Commuters in the south of England face a difficult week ahead,

:10:23. > :10:25.there's the current 24-hour tube strike, which ends at six o'clock

:10:26. > :10:28.tonight, and then tomorrow drivers at Southern Rail are set to walk out

:10:29. > :10:31.Today's industrial action on the London Underground

:10:32. > :10:35.is because of a dispute over job losses and ticket office closures.

:10:36. > :10:37.Ben is at Piccadilly tube station for us this morning.

:10:38. > :10:47.The doors remaining closed. Good morning, these are very firmly

:10:48. > :10:52.closed with no one going anywhere fast in central London. The 24-hour

:10:53. > :10:57.walk-out well under way which began at 6pm last night and it means

:10:58. > :11:01.places like this in the heart of the West End theatre land, we are at

:11:02. > :11:06.Piccadilly Circus Tube station and you will recognise it from scenes

:11:07. > :11:12.like that. It means people cannot get around. 4000 staff walked out in

:11:13. > :11:17.around over the closure of ticket offices and where these staff will

:11:18. > :11:19.be placed in the stations. Are there enough staff to

:11:20. > :11:22.be placed in the stations. Are there enough staff to protect front line

:11:23. > :11:29.services? The union said not and they called the strike due to end at

:11:30. > :11:32.six o'clock but more pressure on the bus network and the roads. It is

:11:33. > :11:39.thought it could cost the economy up to ?50 million because people cannot

:11:40. > :11:46.get to work. And tourists cannot get around. Why are they on strike?

:11:47. > :11:50.Earlier we spoke to the RMT union. It cannot be a self-service

:11:51. > :11:55.underground, they need to put back in a task for response almost to put

:11:56. > :11:59.this safe and we have sympathy with the travelling public and regret the

:12:00. > :12:04.strike stop it had been avoidable, we were in weeks of talks put up

:12:05. > :12:09.against a brick wall. That is the view of the unions. What about the

:12:10. > :12:13.cost to London and the rest of the country? Colin is from the London

:12:14. > :12:18.chamber of commerce. We talk about putting a figure on strike action,

:12:19. > :12:25.it is difficult. What will it cost London and the UK? Tens of millions

:12:26. > :12:28.of pounds. It is difficult to know whether if you are coming on a

:12:29. > :12:32.shopping trip to London, when you come later in the week or not at all

:12:33. > :12:38.but what deal you might lose because you cannot get there. What is more

:12:39. > :12:43.important in some ways is the message it sends around the world.

:12:44. > :12:48.We are dealing with Brexit. London voted to stay in the EU and we are

:12:49. > :12:54.coming to terms of making a success of being out of the EU. We cannot

:12:55. > :12:58.have this message going around the world at this time that London

:12:59. > :13:03.somehow is closed, it is difficult to do business in London, or it is

:13:04. > :13:09.difficult as a tourist. London is the engine of the economy and the

:13:10. > :13:13.first destination for tourist visits going to Scotland, northern England,

:13:14. > :13:17.first destination for tourist visits Wales, wherever, so it is a big deal

:13:18. > :13:21.for London and Ms. To the week stop the unions say it is vital to

:13:22. > :13:27.protect the network and they want staff to be on trains and platforms

:13:28. > :13:30.to help passengers, be them tourist, shoppers and workers. Is there

:13:31. > :13:37.sympathy in the business community for the London Underground staff? We

:13:38. > :13:40.sympathy in the business community want to make the underground as safe

:13:41. > :13:45.as possible and London Underground said they will bring in more staff,

:13:46. > :13:51.they are recruiting 200 extra staff. There was a report by Travel Watch

:13:52. > :13:55.which talked about problems understaffing might be causing. They

:13:56. > :14:02.were not talking about safety but access to ticket machines. What we

:14:03. > :14:07.cannot do is penalise Londoners in the way we are penalising them at

:14:08. > :14:12.the moment. As the Mayor of London said, it is misery for Londoners and

:14:13. > :14:18.London business and the UK economy. You are used to talking to business

:14:19. > :14:22.and dealing with changing times, modernisation comes with challenges

:14:23. > :14:27.the business and London Underground is no exception. Fewer of us

:14:28. > :14:32.queueing at the ticket office, cards, is it an element of needing

:14:33. > :14:39.to change with the times and London Underground leads to improve its

:14:40. > :14:42.system? We need to change the. Many do not use a ticket machine any

:14:43. > :14:47.more. We need to see staff if we feel we are in danger or need help.

:14:48. > :14:51.I use the tube every day and at my station I feel safer because I can

:14:52. > :14:57.see the staff, they are not behind a glass window. My wife recently had a

:14:58. > :15:01.problem late at night with a fight she saw and could not find anybody

:15:02. > :15:05.to come out of their office to deal with that and she had to deal with

:15:06. > :15:11.it. Now there are people open to people coming up to them and saying,

:15:12. > :15:16.you have to do something about whatever is happening. That is the

:15:17. > :15:22.current situation. The strike due to end at 6pm today. It will be the

:15:23. > :15:25.roads and the trains and all the other support services on public

:15:26. > :15:29.transport that will bear the brunt until the system is up and running

:15:30. > :15:32.because it is not guaranteed the trains will be in the right places

:15:33. > :15:37.to suddenly begin again at six o'clock.

:15:38. > :15:44.You're watching Breakfast. The main stories this morning:

:15:45. > :15:47.Theresa May will use a major speech today to encourage schools

:15:48. > :15:49.and employers to do more to help those with mental health problems.

:15:50. > :15:53.Up to four million commuters face significant disruption this

:15:54. > :15:54.morning because of a strike across the entire London Underground

:15:55. > :16:08.I was told off earlier for trying to ticket office closures.

:16:09. > :16:13.I was told off earlier for trying to do amateurish weather forecasts.

:16:14. > :16:17.Told off? I got the impression that was not good enough. Thankfully we

:16:18. > :16:24.have got a professional in the house. Carol is here with a

:16:25. > :16:28.beautiful picture. This morning we have a murky start. There is a lot

:16:29. > :16:31.of low cloud and dampness around, but that will be replaced in the

:16:32. > :16:35.south by rain which is spreading south-east wards. It is courtesy of

:16:36. > :16:42.this weather front. Now, as it moves south-east wards, look at that

:16:43. > :16:44.squeeze on those isobars. Later on, it will be windy across the

:16:45. > :16:47.north-west with gusts up to gale force. A cloudy, damp start. A

:16:48. > :16:50.little bit of brightness, but that won't last because as this weather

:16:51. > :16:55.front approaches, the cloud will proceed it and the rain will move

:16:56. > :16:58.in. Behind it, the skies brighten and the sun comes out. However,

:16:59. > :17:00.there are still showers in the forecast especially across northern

:17:01. > :17:04.and Western Scotland, some rain coming in through the course of the

:17:05. > :17:07.afternoon and here is where we are likely to see gusts to gale force.

:17:08. > :17:10.For Northern Ireland, you have got a mixture of bright spells, sunshine

:17:11. > :17:12.and showers and it is the same across Northern England and North

:17:13. > :17:16.Wales, but there will be a lot of dry weather around and sunny skies.

:17:17. > :17:20.Now, as the rain pushes into the South East, it will leave a legacy

:17:21. > :17:23.of cloud, there goes the rain, but not the temperatures. Still mild. It

:17:24. > :17:27.is a mild start to the day. As we head on through the evening and

:17:28. > :17:32.overnight, there goes the rain. Clearing Kent around about tea-time.

:17:33. > :17:34.Some clear skies in central and eastern areas mean in sheltered

:17:35. > :17:39.parts there will be a touch of frost. Meanwhile the rain continues

:17:40. > :17:41.to come in across Scotland and Northern Ireland and parts of

:17:42. > :17:44.north-west England and showers across West Wales and the

:17:45. > :17:47.south-west. So that's how we start the day tomorrow. Where we've got

:17:48. > :17:52.the clear skies and the frost, we will start with sunshine. There will

:17:53. > :17:56.be a few showers dotted around, but it will brighten up before the next

:17:57. > :18:02.weather front comes in across from the west, crossing Northern Ireland,

:18:03. > :18:05.the cloud building ahead. The rain gets into the east. Behind it,

:18:06. > :18:09.brighter skies and some sunshine. gets into the east. Behind it,

:18:10. > :18:13.And then for Wednesday, well a drier day, a blustery day, some bright

:18:14. > :18:18.spells, just a few showers, and also some sunshine, but the showers

:18:19. > :18:22.turning wintry across the far north of the country and temperature wise,

:18:23. > :18:25.well, again, feeling cold. The temperatures coming down across the

:18:26. > :18:31.land. So as we head on through the latter part of the week, for us, we

:18:32. > :18:33.start to pull in northerly or north-westerly winds across our

:18:34. > :18:37.shores meaning it will turn colderment for some of us, we will

:18:38. > :18:41.see snow. At the moment we could see the snow almost anywhere. However,

:18:42. > :18:46.the most likely areas are going to be across parts of the north and the

:18:47. > :18:49.west of the UK. But I'll keep you posted as we go through this week.

:18:50. > :18:52.The conditions are nothing like they are in Europe. We have seen the

:18:53. > :18:56.pictures in the news. This morning, we are looking at temperatures minus

:18:57. > :19:02.30 Celsius to start the day in Moscow. As we come further south,

:19:03. > :19:06.minus three in Athens is minus three Celsius in Belgrade. We are looking

:19:07. > :19:13.almost tropical with our seven Celsius in London. The reason is we

:19:14. > :19:20.have got what would be a Siberian high aning orred across Siberia. The

:19:21. > :19:23.air around a high moves in a clockwise direction. It is moving

:19:24. > :19:26.around, sucking up the cold air and coming back down from the

:19:27. > :19:31.north-east, a different direction to us. There is a low pressure just out

:19:32. > :19:35.to the east here and the opposite happens with low pressure. The air

:19:36. > :19:39.moves in an anticlockwise direction so it is doing the same moving

:19:40. > :19:42.around and sucking in the cold air down towards the Mediterranean. I

:19:43. > :19:47.love it when the weather is like there, Dan and Lou. I probably

:19:48. > :19:51.shouldn't because it has adverse effects, but it is so exciting. You

:19:52. > :20:02.have made me shiver even though it is not with us yet.

:20:03. > :20:08.It was a big night for the British television spy drama

:20:09. > :20:11.The Night Manager which stormed to success at the 74th

:20:12. > :20:13.Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman and Hugh Laurie all collected

:20:14. > :20:17.Claire Foy was named best actress in a TV drama

:20:18. > :20:24.The night belonged to the Hollywood musical La La Land which took home

:20:25. > :20:28.Our Los Angeles Correspondent, James Cook reports.

:20:29. > :20:33.Los Angeles, California, where stories are spun and stars

:20:34. > :20:36.are born, a place of glitz and glamour, of gowns and gossip,

:20:37. > :20:53.There were seven Golden Globes for the film.

:20:54. > :20:56.This is a film for dreamers, and I think that hope and creativity

:20:57. > :20:59.are two of the most important things in the world, and that's

:21:00. > :21:04.In the television categories, it was a British invasion.

:21:05. > :21:09.Claire Foy was named Best Actress in a TV Drama for playing

:21:10. > :21:19.I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for some extraordinary women. I'm going

:21:20. > :21:23.to thank them. One of them is Queen Elizabeth II. She has been at the

:21:24. > :21:27.centre of the world for the past 63 years and I think the world could do

:21:28. > :21:35.with a few more women at the centre of it if you ask me!

:21:36. > :21:40.There were three acting awards in the BBC

:21:41. > :21:56.The Night Manager is about arms dealing.

:21:57. > :22:07.Hugh Laurie's arms were also digging.

:22:08. > :22:16.Receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award, Meryl Streep lambasted the

:22:17. > :22:21.president-elect. Violence insights violence. When the powerful lose

:22:22. > :22:26.their position to bully others, we all lose. Hollywood is crawling with

:22:27. > :22:31.outsiders and foreigners and if we kick them all, you will have nothing

:22:32. > :22:42.to watch, but football and mixed martial arts which are not the arts!

:22:43. > :22:50.What an honour, thank you thank you for acknowledging me in this way.

:22:51. > :22:55.Tom Ford thank you for this opportunity. Creating this role and

:22:56. > :23:03.collaborating on this journey was an immense joy. Moonlight. Complex

:23:04. > :23:06.coming of age movie Moonlight had been tipped to bring diversity to an

:23:07. > :23:19.industry criticised as too white, but it won just one award, Best

:23:20. > :23:29.Drama. To my mum, mum you gave me my life.

:23:30. > :23:36.Elle picked up an award. Thank you for making me win in a French film

:23:37. > :23:43.directed by a Dutch director here in America. Oh my god! Thank you.

:23:44. > :23:46.Well, Hollywood can be fun and frivolous, but it prides itself on

:23:47. > :23:51.tackling serious subjects and many stars here on the red carpet are

:23:52. > :23:53.predicting a surge in political films this year following the most

:23:54. > :24:03.divisive of elections. After an evening of success

:24:04. > :24:06.for The Night Manager, we're joined by two of the creative

:24:07. > :24:08.minds behind the hit series. Executive producer Stephen Garrett

:24:09. > :24:10.and director Susanne Bier are speaking to us live from Los

:24:11. > :24:11.Angeles. How are you feeling today? Thank

:24:12. > :24:18.you. No, it was a thrilling night. I How are you feeling today? Thank

:24:19. > :24:27.apologise from the strange surroundings. I'm in an underground

:24:28. > :24:32.hotel where there was a party. This was the only place I could find that

:24:33. > :24:37.I wouldn't get drenched and provide unwarranted entertainment for your

:24:38. > :24:40.viewers. I would rather you were in the party. Thank you very much for

:24:41. > :24:45.joining us. Well, I can show you bits of it. Go on then! Why do you

:24:46. > :24:57.think The Night Manager was a success around the world? I think it

:24:58. > :25:02.was, it just touched so many buttons really. At one level there was this

:25:03. > :25:07.fantastic travel log. You were in the company of these exotic

:25:08. > :25:12.brilliant entertaining people and there was a hope that Richard Roper

:25:13. > :25:20.would be someone what everyone would want to not just have dinner, but

:25:21. > :25:21.sit next to and there is something heady and intoxicating however

:25:22. > :25:24.despicable his lifestyle and ambitions about the world he lives

:25:25. > :25:28.in. So there was something aspirational about that, but I think

:25:29. > :25:33.it was also to your correspondent's point earlier, it touched something

:25:34. > :25:38.about the world. It touched a kind of moral ambiguity that crept into

:25:39. > :25:44.politics and to everyone's lives and it deals with a world where our

:25:45. > :25:47.governments, the governments of friends of ours, sanction arms

:25:48. > :25:51.deals, the consequences of which are hideous and we have seen in the

:25:52. > :25:58.Middle East as we speak. Tell us about the actors, Tom Hiddleston,

:25:59. > :26:07.Olivia Coleman and Hugh Laurie won awards which is fabulous news. What

:26:08. > :26:16.made them stand out as well? I think... Go on. Try one more time.

:26:17. > :26:22.PROBLEM WITH SOUND I think they were all excellent.

:26:23. > :26:30.Apologies for that. We saw glimpses from that party. Are we able to show

:26:31. > :26:36.the pictures of the awkward hug? This was an eventful ceremony and

:26:37. > :26:43.this is Emma Stone. This is when the screenwriter won the award. Can we

:26:44. > :26:47.see it again? It is worth watching again. This has been described by

:26:48. > :26:52.many as the most awkward moment. She goes in. He is already hugging his

:26:53. > :26:55.girlfriend. That's painful. This has happened to all of us, hasn't it? I

:26:56. > :26:59.once went to kiss somebody happened to all of us, hasn't it? I

:27:00. > :27:02.cheek and their nose went in my eye. I'm still embarrassed about it now.

:27:03. > :27:05.Time for the news, the weather and the travel where you are

:27:06. > :27:10.A report out today says we could get more low-carbon power for less money

:27:11. > :27:16.by devolving control over Scottish customers' electricity bills.

:27:17. > :27:19.All UK consumers are set to pay for the government's new nuclear

:27:20. > :27:23.But the study for the Scottish Greens by Aberdeen University

:27:24. > :27:26.suggests Scots could fund almost twice as much power from onshore

:27:27. > :27:31.To achieve this, the Scottish Greens are calling for control over energy

:27:32. > :27:37.Scotland's police watchdog is to examine the way

:27:38. > :27:43.The exercise comes ahead of the proposed transfer

:27:44. > :27:47.Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabularies in Scotland

:27:48. > :27:48.will conduct the study with its English and

:27:49. > :27:54.They'll be looking at various aspects of operation within

:27:55. > :27:56.the force which is responsible for policing the UK's railways.

:27:57. > :28:00.They'll also examine how BTP in Scotland can be integrated

:28:01. > :28:01.into the main force and how it would deal with

:28:02. > :28:07.Reforms are needed to Scotland's skills system to meet the challenges

:28:08. > :28:11.facing the country's economy, according to a think tank.

:28:12. > :28:13.The Institute for Public Policy Research in Scotland says

:28:14. > :28:16.technological changes will alter traditional low and mid-skilled

:28:17. > :28:19.roles and as a result people will need to be better supported

:28:20. > :28:28.Small businesses in Scotland are leading the way on digital

:28:29. > :28:30.skills compared to other parts of Britain.

:28:31. > :28:32.According to a report by the Bank of Scotland,

:28:33. > :28:37.fewer than a third of small businesses north of the border lack

:28:38. > :28:38.basic online skills, compared to the UK average of 38%.

:28:39. > :28:40.Only London rivals Scotland in terms of digital skills.

:28:41. > :28:45.The report, however, warns that cyber security is rising

:28:46. > :28:49.in prominence as a reason for small businesses not to do more online.

:28:50. > :28:52.Breakfast time weather now and it's over to Judith with the outlook

:28:53. > :28:58.It's turning progressively colder and wintry.

:28:59. > :29:01.This morning, it's mild with a band of rain sweeping

:29:02. > :29:08.It will clear away, it brightens up, spells of sunshine for Southern

:29:09. > :29:16.We will see showers pushing across western Scotland.

:29:17. > :29:23.Very few getting to the East during daylight hours.

:29:24. > :29:26.The winds pick up against across the Northwest with gales developing.

:29:27. > :29:29.After a mild start, temperatures fall to around about 7-8.

:29:30. > :29:31.As we head into the evening, the showers becoming more heavy

:29:32. > :29:36.Spreading across the country through the evening but then

:29:37. > :29:43.Gales across the North touching severe gale force for a time

:29:44. > :29:45.and they will start to ease during the overnight

:29:46. > :29:49.period and temperatures eventually settling at 3-4.

:29:50. > :29:55.Now, it's over to Kaye Adams to find out what's happening

:29:56. > :29:59.Two years after reducing the drink drive limit,

:30:10. > :30:15.How did you get back to a good place?

:30:16. > :30:19.I'll be back with the headlines around nine o'clock.

:30:20. > :30:33.Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:30:34. > :30:36.Theresa May will outline plans which she says will transform mental

:30:37. > :30:41.In her first major speech on health since becoming Prime Minister,

:30:42. > :30:44.Mrs May will announce a review of services for children

:30:45. > :30:47.and teenagers as well as extra support for schools and businesses.

:30:48. > :30:49.Labour says people are being let down by a lack of funding.

:30:50. > :30:55.Let's talk now to the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.

:30:56. > :31:00.Good morning. Thank you for your time. It's nice to see you because

:31:01. > :31:05.there's been lots of questions about where you've been this weekend, with

:31:06. > :31:11.the Red Cross saying the health service is involved in a

:31:12. > :31:15.humanitarian crisis. Were you hiding this weekend? I'm here talking to

:31:16. > :31:21.you now, and I was willing to go on to the BBC yesterday, but you wanted

:31:22. > :31:28.to have Justine Greening instead. There is a very serious situation. A

:31:29. > :31:31.number of hospitals are finding it very, very challenging. This is the

:31:32. > :31:35.most difficult time of year and the first thing I want to do is thank

:31:36. > :31:41.NHS staff who are working unbelievably hard. We had medical

:31:42. > :31:45.professionals working on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. The Tuesday

:31:46. > :31:49.after Christmas was the busiest day in the history of the NHS. Before we

:31:50. > :31:53.have any other discussions I think it's worth putting on the table that

:31:54. > :31:58.people on the front line are working really, really hard for all of our

:31:59. > :32:04.sakes. I'm sure they will appreciate that, but they will also say, is the

:32:05. > :32:07.service they are working in in a humanitarian crisis? The Red Cross

:32:08. > :32:13.not telling the truth? There is a big difference between what you just

:32:14. > :32:18.said, and a humanitarian crisis, so which is true? You should listen to

:32:19. > :32:21.what independent people are saying. People like Chris Hobson who

:32:22. > :32:25.represents all but hospitals. No friend of the government when it

:32:26. > :32:31.comes to NHS policy. He rejected that description because he says the

:32:32. > :32:35.vast majority of hospitals are coping slightly better than one year

:32:36. > :32:40.ago. But you have some very severe problems in a few hospitals, which

:32:41. > :32:44.no one wants to play down. They are serious and we are doing everything

:32:45. > :32:49.we can to support them. Sarah will stun the chairman of the health

:32:50. > :32:49.select committee also, often at critic of

:32:50. > :32:56.select committee also, often at critic of the government, has also

:32:57. > :32:59.rejected that phrase -- Sarah Woolaston. We are doing everything

:33:00. > :33:03.we can to sort out the problems, this is the most challenging time of

:33:04. > :33:08.year for the NHS, but in the vast majority of cases people can be

:33:09. > :33:12.confident that their services are managing to cope, despite extreme

:33:13. > :33:16.pressure. People watching this programme will know that there are

:33:17. > :33:20.huge funding issues right across the NHS. Today the Prime Minister is

:33:21. > :33:31.going to talk about mental health measures. Where is that money going

:33:32. > :33:38.to come from? We putting an extra ?10 billion into the NHS... I've

:33:39. > :33:41.heard you say that a lot. A number of people, including people from

:33:42. > :33:45.your own party, including the Conservative chair of the Commons

:33:46. > :33:49.health select committee says that figure is incorrect and it's nearer

:33:50. > :33:55.to ?6 billion. If that is the case you're upping that by 40%. That is

:33:56. > :34:00.wrong. The people we should listen to other people in the NHS who put

:34:01. > :34:04.together their plan and said they needed the NHS budget to go up by

:34:05. > :34:10.?10 billion. The reason why other people have criticised that number,

:34:11. > :34:13.is that in order to do that we made savings from other parts of the

:34:14. > :34:17.Department of Health's budget. You've asked whether funding was

:34:18. > :34:22.coming from. What no one is disagreeing about is that extra

:34:23. > :34:25.funding is going into the NHS. This year it is ?3.8 billion. What the

:34:26. > :34:30.Prime Minister is saying today is that one of her big priorities, if

:34:31. > :34:34.we are going to have a country that works for everyone, is to

:34:35. > :34:40.improvement of health provision. We are accepting the report which says

:34:41. > :34:44.we should spend around ?1 billion a year more on mental health provision

:34:45. > :34:48.by the end of this Parliament. A particular focus is on young people,

:34:49. > :34:53.that's the area where I think we do least well off all in terms of

:34:54. > :35:01.provision of all NHS services. We know that about three children in

:35:02. > :35:07.every classroom have a diagnosable mental health problem. The pressures

:35:08. > :35:12.of peer pressure, cyber bullying and increases in her self harming we are

:35:13. > :35:16.sadly seen. Theresa May said this is a big priority, we want to sort this

:35:17. > :35:20.out. It's not acceptable some people don't get the help they need. She's

:35:21. > :35:26.making this a big priority of her premiership. In a survey of NHS

:35:27. > :35:28.providers last year the majority of trusts said they thought mental

:35:29. > :35:36.health funding wasn't reaching them in their jobs, on the front line.

:35:37. > :35:38.Are you going to ring fence that money to make sure it makes a

:35:39. > :35:43.difference? How can you guarantee that money will get there and won't

:35:44. > :35:49.get swallowed up by other parts of the NHS? I think it has been a bit

:35:50. > :35:54.patchy across the NHS. Now, we are seeing quite big increases in

:35:55. > :35:58.funding. We are on track to spend about ?1 billion more on mental

:35:59. > :36:03.health provision and we spent just two years ago. Which is a

:36:04. > :36:07.significant increase. The clinical commissioning groups who hold the

:36:08. > :36:11.budgets at the local level are increasing proportion of their spend

:36:12. > :36:13.that goes into mental health. The climate is changing but there's

:36:14. > :36:18.definitely more that needs to be done. I think today's speech by the

:36:19. > :36:21.Prime Minister will give that a big boost. When will that funding

:36:22. > :36:25.actually reach them? If they're watching this morning and preparing

:36:26. > :36:29.to go for a shift today, when will that money make a difference to the

:36:30. > :36:35.jobs they are doing? It is already happening. This year we on track to

:36:36. > :36:38.spend about ?1 billion more than two years ago. This is starting to

:36:39. > :36:44.happen but what the Prime Minister is announcing today is that we will

:36:45. > :36:50.go even further. We are accepting an independent report that says we

:36:51. > :36:52.need, if we are going to deal with this issue, people having to wait

:36:53. > :36:56.too long for mental health care, we need to be treating around 1 million

:36:57. > :37:02.more people every year by 2020. For people who have teenage daughters,

:37:03. > :37:06.for example, which is one of the areas we are most worried about in

:37:07. > :37:12.terms of the pressures created by things like social media, I think

:37:13. > :37:15.that will be welcome. Every time we speak to you on this programme, and

:37:16. > :37:19.in the vast majority of interviews, you are doing your best to defend

:37:20. > :37:24.the NHS. There's questions about funding and how much money is

:37:25. > :37:27.required. You always saying there is money here and money there and

:37:28. > :37:35.people accuse you of not doing the right job. If the NHS favourable or

:37:36. > :37:39.is it on life support? I think I'm the only Health Secretary ever who

:37:40. > :37:41.is it on life support? I think I'm has asked two Prime ministers in a

:37:42. > :37:45.row if I can remain in the job. That is because I'm totally passionate

:37:46. > :37:47.about what the NHS does. I think it's one of the best things we have

:37:48. > :37:52.in this country. I want to offer the it's one of the best things we have

:37:53. > :37:56.safest, best health care of anywhere in the world. I believe we can do

:37:57. > :38:00.that. I don't want to pretend it's not a very difficult period now.

:38:01. > :38:07.Funding is an issue but I think we miss a trick if we say it's just

:38:08. > :38:09.about money. It's also about standards and the quality of care.

:38:10. > :38:13.We have some of the best care anywhere in the world in this

:38:14. > :38:17.country, but it's not consistent. I want every NHS patient to be

:38:18. > :38:21.confident that they, their mum or their dad or their grandparents, can

:38:22. > :38:25.be confident of getting that high-quality care. There's a lot of

:38:26. > :38:29.work to be done but I think we have incredible commitment from NHS staff

:38:30. > :38:29.work to be done but I think we have and I'm determined to get there.

:38:30. > :38:36.Thank you. Up to 4 million commuters in London

:38:37. > :38:39.face significant disruption this morning because of a strike across

:38:40. > :38:42.the entire Underground network. Members of the RMT and TSSA

:38:43. > :38:46.unions walked out last night in a row about jobs

:38:47. > :38:50.and ticket office closures. The 24-hour strike is due

:38:51. > :39:00.to finish at 6:00pm tonight. Thousands of British drivers

:39:01. > :39:03.affected by the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal are taking legal

:39:04. > :39:05.action against the car-maker. VW admitted using software that

:39:06. > :39:07.would cheat emissions tests, leading to a recall of millions

:39:08. > :39:09.of cars worldwide. A compensation scheme was approved

:39:10. > :39:12.in the United States last year, and lawyers want British customers

:39:13. > :39:20.to be offered a similar settlement. It's thought up to 15 people have

:39:21. > :39:22.been arrested in connection with the robbery of reality star Kim

:39:23. > :39:24.Kardashian. The star was held at gunpoint in her

:39:25. > :39:27.apartment in Paris last October. The masked men left with millions

:39:28. > :39:31.of pounds worth of jewellery. It's believed the arrests

:39:32. > :39:33.were made after traces of DNA More than 20 people have died

:39:34. > :39:44.as a result of freezing temperatures across much of central and eastern

:44:37. > :44:38.two of them in particular, the first in a spot nobody is likely

:44:47. > :44:55.important places to clean. As you leave the toilet,

:45:10. > :45:12.are eating your breakfast, don't look up for a couple of minutes!

:45:13. > :45:15.One of the presenters of that programme is Angela Rippon,

:45:16. > :45:18.And Liz Smith-Mills is from the British Institute

:45:19. > :45:25.Good morning to you, Angela Rippon. We will all grimacing while we were

:45:26. > :45:29.watching that. Were you horrified by what you found? I think the whole

:45:30. > :45:35.team were horrified. When we sent our findings to the doctor, clinical

:45:36. > :45:38.microbiologist, and some of our viewers will remember that she

:45:39. > :45:42.caused a stir when we did a similar test looking for bacteria in fast

:45:43. > :45:47.food outlets. She is going to cause a stir when the film comes up at

:45:48. > :45:52.9:15am immediately after you guys on BBC One, because you just saw some

:45:53. > :45:54.9:15am immediately after you guys on of the findings that we came up

:45:55. > :46:01.with. We looked at a whole range of hotels from five star down to two

:46:02. > :46:05.start, anything from ?35 to ?140 a night. And you expect high levels of

:46:06. > :46:09.cleanliness in the 5-star hotel. We are not saying that all five star

:46:10. > :46:15.hotels do not have high levels of cleanliness and all to star hotels

:46:16. > :46:19.are paragons of virtue. What we discovered in our test will really

:46:20. > :46:25.make people sit up and Bing. In the 5-star hotel, as you mentioned, off

:46:26. > :46:31.the scale was the material we found on the bed covers, the door handles,

:46:32. > :46:34.and the television remote control. And the four star hotel we found

:46:35. > :46:38.similarly high levels door handles and the remote control and in the

:46:39. > :46:42.three star hotel, this is really worrying, because one of the areas

:46:43. > :46:46.we looked at with a glass tumbler is that you get in the bathroom, and

:46:47. > :46:51.that they were so far of the scale we could not record them. One of the

:46:52. > :46:57.light switches had so much bacteria on it that the petri dish was

:46:58. > :47:01.actually foaming. It is a wake-up call for people who are guests in

:47:02. > :47:10.hotels. Whatever the rating they have got, you have got to aware

:47:11. > :47:13.that... Sometimes we see housekeeping trolleys in the

:47:14. > :47:15.corridors and they go in and they change the sheets and towels and

:47:16. > :47:19.pillow slips, but in some hotels I change the sheets and towels and

:47:20. > :47:22.think the staff are under such pressure to get as many rooms done

:47:23. > :47:25.as possible that they go in and change the obvious things like

:47:26. > :47:32.sheets and towels, and they go around with the vacuum cleaner and a

:47:33. > :47:36.damp cloth, and that is it. But as our tests show, there are so many

:47:37. > :47:41.areas where there could be bacteria that we are going to be picking up.

:47:42. > :47:47.Particularly throughout control. Every single one of that goes into a

:47:48. > :47:53.hotel, we use a mode control to switch on the radio or television,

:47:54. > :47:56.whatever, and who knows? The person using it before you might have had a

:47:57. > :48:01.terrible cold and the bacteria are still there. It is creepy when you

:48:02. > :48:06.think about it! Don't change channels is the answer! Angela is

:48:07. > :48:09.talking about people that clean the rooms but there are things that you

:48:10. > :48:14.can do yourself, including covering your toothbrush to stop bacteria

:48:15. > :48:18.getting on that. There are normal hand sanitisers that people use.

:48:19. > :48:24.Taking your own flannel. And for some people, they even take their

:48:25. > :48:29.own BBC branded surface cleaner in and clean the room themselves to get

:48:30. > :48:33.rid of some of the bacteria. That is correct but it is only in extreme

:48:34. > :48:37.circumstances. The majority of hotel rooms are spotlessly clean. Angela

:48:38. > :48:41.has picked up on the fact that a proper practices are not adhered to,

:48:42. > :48:47.there will be a shortfall in standards that are expected. I am

:48:48. > :48:51.representing the British Institute of Cleaning Science but I work with

:48:52. > :48:54.the housekeepers association and the Institute of Hospitality to make

:48:55. > :48:59.sure training is carried out and standards adhered to. Colour coding

:49:00. > :49:02.prevents cross contamination, for example, so they are not using the

:49:03. > :49:07.same cleaning cloth on the toilet that they are sanitising the glasses

:49:08. > :49:16.with. And making sure that correct cleaning practices are adhered to.

:49:17. > :49:19.It is getting worse! The top tip is anything that you drink out of that

:49:20. > :49:23.you have got to clean yourself? It has got to be sanitised. The best

:49:24. > :49:29.practices to make sure the sync is thoroughly cleaned first or take

:49:30. > :49:36.them to a dishwasher. You can't do that in a hotel. What about the

:49:37. > :49:41.hotels, surely they should be doing something about it? I think this is

:49:42. > :49:43.a huge wake-up call for the hotels, perhaps the larger chains in

:49:44. > :49:48.particular. The fact that the bedspreads have got such a very high

:49:49. > :49:53.bacterial count on them suggests that there is no routine within the

:49:58. > :50:01.perhaps less than that, those bed covers should be either dry-cleaned

:50:02. > :50:06.or put in a very high level wash. On the trolleys, you see the cleaning

:50:07. > :50:12.staff taking the sheets and the towels and those things, but they

:50:13. > :50:18.are not carrying bedspreads. In just about every case except in our two

:50:19. > :50:23.star hotel, in just about every case, the bed covers had off the

:50:24. > :50:26.scale results so it is a wake-up call hotel management as well, I

:50:27. > :50:30.think. But I totally endorse what your expert in the studio says. Over

:50:31. > :50:33.the last couple of weeks when I have been travelling and working, I have

:50:34. > :50:37.been taking those little bottles of hand sanitiser with me that we

:50:38. > :50:42.normally take to third world countries! I have been using them

:50:43. > :50:48.all the time. Angela Rippon, so many lovely thoughts! And lives, thank

:50:49. > :50:50.you. Are you holding on to that? I'm going to get a space suit! And if

:50:51. > :50:55.you can bear it... Rip Off Britain - Holidays

:50:56. > :50:57.is on BBC One immediately after us Here's Carol with a look

:50:58. > :51:06.at this morning's weather. And there are lots of interesting

:51:07. > :51:09.things going on. Certainly. First of all we had this beautiful picture

:51:10. > :51:14.from Guernsey taken earlier this morning. Lovely sunrise but rain is

:51:15. > :51:17.on the weight which we have already got careening out of Northern

:51:18. > :51:21.Ireland and Ireland and Scotland and moving across England and Wales

:51:22. > :51:25.throughout the day and some of us already have it in western England

:51:26. > :51:27.and Wales courtesy of this weather front. Look at the squeeze in the

:51:28. > :51:32.isobars behind it. It will turn very windy with gusts up to gale force in

:51:33. > :51:34.the North West. This morning brighter skies in the far south.

:51:35. > :51:37.They will be transit because the brighter skies in the far south.

:51:38. > :51:43.cloud will build up ahead of the rain and then the rain moves in.

:51:44. > :51:48.Behind that, an improvement. Dry conditions and showers. Some of the

:51:49. > :51:52.showers will be wintery in Scotland above 500 metres. The next band of

:51:53. > :51:59.rain waiting in the winds and gusting to gale force with exposure

:52:00. > :52:02.in the North West. Then Northern Ireland and northern England, a

:52:03. > :52:06.mixture of bright stars and sunshine but dry weather elsewhere. Then this

:52:07. > :52:10.weather front pushes into the South East but as it moves away, in its

:52:11. > :52:15.wake we are looking at quite a bit of cloud left behind. That rain

:52:16. > :52:18.should clear Kent as we had around the tea-time power. Behind it lots

:52:19. > :52:28.of showers and the rain coming in from the west, moving east. The rain

:52:29. > :52:34.will move from the North West to the North East and will slowly abate a

:52:35. > :52:37.little bit in the North West. Tomorrow is another blustery day. We

:52:38. > :52:42.start off with clear skies and it will be cold and frosty. Some

:52:43. > :52:45.sunshine. Note how the cloud builds ahead of this weather front

:52:46. > :52:49.introducing rain, moving from the west to the east through the day.

:52:50. > :52:54.Not especially heavy. Behind it we see a return to brighter skies and

:52:55. > :52:58.showers. Hanging on to the milder conditions further south. Something

:52:59. > :52:59.cooler showing at hand in the north. We will certainly have that through

:53:00. > :53:04.the course of Wednesday with showers We will certainly have that through

:53:05. > :53:08.increasingly turning wintery. For most of us on Wednesday it will be

:53:09. > :53:12.fine, dry, with just a couple of showers in the west. We will see a

:53:13. > :53:17.bit of sunshine as well but you will notice that it will feel much colder

:53:18. > :53:22.than it has done. Four the maximum in Aberdeen and a high temperature

:53:23. > :53:25.of eight or nine in Plymouth. As we head to the latter part of the week,

:53:26. > :53:31.the milder yellow colouring is replaced by the cold blue. We start

:53:32. > :53:35.to pull in the air from the north and the North West, which is the

:53:36. > :53:41.wind direction we will have. It will feel cold and some of us will see

:53:42. > :53:44.some snow. We start of the week with some rain, windy, sunshine, but by

:53:45. > :53:50.the end of it we could see snow almost anywhere, but not absolutely

:53:51. > :53:53.the end of it we could see snow everywhere. The likely places are

:53:54. > :53:56.northern England, northern Scotland, parts of Wales and the South West

:53:57. > :54:01.but that could change. Keep in touch with the weather forecast. Thank

:54:02. > :54:03.you. We will always keep in touch with you. It looks very pretty but I

:54:04. > :54:05.know it can I know! I was looking at you! OK,

:54:06. > :54:18.some live shots from our helicopter I know! I was looking at you! OK,

:54:19. > :54:25.over London this morning as commuters face disruption with a 24

:54:26. > :54:30.hour strike by the RMT union and the Transport Salaried Staffs

:54:31. > :54:36.Association. Then was talking about so many cars on the roads and are we

:54:37. > :54:41.using the word chaos? So many people making different ways to work. One

:54:42. > :54:44.young lady whose journey takes 15 minutes taking over an hour. Lots of

:54:45. > :54:47.people making alternative arrangements today. The strike

:54:48. > :54:52.started last night and it will continue until six o'clock tonight

:54:53. > :54:56.but then the trains will not be in the right places further disruption

:54:57. > :54:58.is likely to continue. More coverage of the strike throughout the day on

:54:59. > :55:02.the BBC News Channel for you. Shifts in the political landscape

:55:03. > :55:05.and the rising cost of living, just two of the issues that

:55:06. > :55:08.many of us worry about, but perhaps not something you'd expect young

:55:09. > :55:15.people to be concerned with. But a survey by the Prince's Trust

:55:16. > :55:19.of 16 to 25-year-olds found that those

:55:20. > :55:20.are exactly the issues that leave are trapped and with no

:55:21. > :55:36.control of their lives. You have done the research. What is

:55:37. > :55:40.the most striking thing you have found? People are feeling less

:55:41. > :55:44.confident and less happy about their lives over the period of the survey.

:55:45. > :55:47.A number of people don't feel like they have got control of their

:55:48. > :55:53.lives, they are trapped by circumstances, and a whole series of

:55:54. > :55:56.factors are influencing that feeling that their prospects are not as good

:55:57. > :55:59.factors are influencing that feeling as they might be. Do we not all feel

:56:00. > :56:01.a little bit like that? I'm not trying to reduce the importance of

:56:02. > :56:07.the research but is that not something that is broadly seen

:56:08. > :56:11.across society? I suspect that we do but it is important to take note of

:56:12. > :56:14.a survey like this. We are asking the generation of 16-25 -year-olds

:56:15. > :56:18.who you hope would be naturally optimistic about their prospects,

:56:19. > :56:21.and as you said, there are series of optimistic about their prospects,

:56:22. > :56:24.long-term issues affecting young people. Being out of work, not being

:56:25. > :56:28.in meaningful education, and then also the issues around economic and

:56:29. > :56:33.political uncertainty, those wider issues. We should be concerned about

:56:34. > :56:36.it. Yes, we all have challenges from day to day, but one in ten young

:56:37. > :56:40.people said they didn't think they had anybody who cared for them and

:56:41. > :56:48.just short of 20% thought their lives would amount to nothing. All

:56:49. > :56:51.of us have that moment occasionally we are going but we don't get to the

:56:52. > :56:56.point where we think what is this all about? Half of them are stressed

:56:57. > :57:01.about body image. Is that the new thing, do you think? This is

:57:02. > :57:07.relative, I always think. We are celebrating ten years of the iPhone

:57:08. > :57:11.and what it has brought to us, that social media, and I think that body

:57:12. > :57:15.image thing, it puts more and more pressure on us, the images online

:57:16. > :57:19.these days, the desire to look as good as you can. It is probably a

:57:20. > :57:23.new thing. These things change from time to time but it is really

:57:24. > :57:28.concerning for young people. That, as well as a number of other

:57:29. > :57:40.factors. We have just been to Theresa May, -- to Jeremy Hunt about

:57:41. > :57:45.Theresa May's focus on mental health issues. Will that help? I work with

:57:46. > :57:47.the Prince's Trust and we are seeing more and more young people with

:57:48. > :57:51.mental health challenges coming to us that it is a really important

:57:52. > :57:54.issue. The announcement that Theresa May is making today is really

:57:55. > :57:57.important. We look to work with government to help tackle those

:57:58. > :58:00.things and in fact we are about to launch the Prince's Trust strategy

:58:01. > :58:05.that will embed mental health issues in every programme that we run. Some

:58:06. > :58:09.of the issues that have come out of the survey today to talk about young

:58:10. > :58:14.people's anxiety, issues about how confident they feel, and those are

:58:15. > :58:17.mental health challenges. We look forward to working with the

:58:18. > :58:20.government on it and we hope the survey can inform some of that.

:58:21. > :58:24.Jonathan, from the Prince's Trust, thank you.

:58:25. > :58:26.Ballroom, ballet and bhangra, just three types of dance on show

:58:27. > :58:29.in a new BBC Two series that aims to get Yorkshire's residents

:58:30. > :58:32.It's the brain child of West End choreographer, Steve Elias,

:58:33. > :58:36.who wants to showcase the history and heritage of three

:58:37. > :58:43.In a moment, we'll speak to Steve and northern soul fan Dianne.

:58:44. > :58:46.But first, let's take a look at Steve persuading the people

:58:47. > :58:57.The only time I dance is when I'm drunk!

:58:58. > :59:13.I'm going to take you into a back bend.

:59:14. > :59:23.He does ballet already, show him your ballet.

:59:24. > :59:38.Watching that were Steve Elias and Dianne France.

:59:39. > :59:44.Steve, the idea. Talk to me about this. There's a meeting and you say,

:59:45. > :59:50.I want to get three northern towns dancing. It came from the

:59:51. > :59:54.inspiration of the London Olympics. Where you saw ordinary people

:59:55. > :00:00.celebrate where they come from, celebrate the UK. So I wanted to

:00:01. > :00:04.take a little bit of that and rediscover three communities and the

:00:05. > :00:10.people who live and work there. So we went up to Yorkshire and I worked

:00:11. > :00:17.in Barnsley, Skipton, Huddersfield. Then we came together in a grand

:00:18. > :00:21.finale in the city of York. Dianne, you're not afraid to dance, are you?

:00:22. > :00:27.No. Where did you start dancing and how much do you love it? I first

:00:28. > :00:32.went on the scene at ten years old. We had it at a youth club which is

:00:33. > :00:36.when I first heard Motown. When I was 14 I started going to the youth

:00:37. > :00:39.clubs. It has just stayed with me, all my life. You've just got to

:00:40. > :00:46.clubs. It has just stayed with me, the passion for the music.

:00:47. > :00:49.Let's take a look at you showing Steve how it's done.

:00:50. > :01:09.Are they signature steps, are they steps you call by name?

:01:10. > :01:11.Nobody can teach you Northern Soul dancing, regardless

:01:12. > :01:16.They just can't, because it comes from here.

:01:17. > :01:20.If you feel like freaking out, freak out.

:01:21. > :01:44.It's great advice! Honestly, I envy you. Dianne and her friends love

:01:45. > :01:51.dancing but some people went so keen, where they? You can imagine. I

:01:52. > :01:55.don't look like a dancer, I've got a Welsh accent, going around with my

:01:56. > :02:00.flyers asking them to join a dance. I'm known in the industry of working

:02:01. > :02:06.with people who aren't dancers. It was a case of gaining their

:02:07. > :02:11.confidence. In my mind, anyone can dance. Let's start with the basics,

:02:12. > :02:23.two steps forward, two steps back. That's dance. It was just kind of

:02:24. > :02:28.gaining their trust. And what this programme is about, is telling their

:02:29. > :02:32.stories. Through dance. So I went into each town with nothing

:02:33. > :02:41.prepared, no choreography, nothing. So that's all I had, a sound.

:02:42. > :02:45.Dianne, what was it like getting together at the end of all this and

:02:46. > :02:52.dancing with people in York in the whole jamboree at the end? It was

:02:53. > :02:56.absolutely fantastic. When we first met Steve we thought he was

:02:57. > :03:05.crackers! LAUGHTER I thought, no way! It's amazing, he pulled it off.

:03:06. > :03:10.He's a genius. There is something powerful. We are watching bits of it

:03:11. > :03:19.now. They're something powerful about lots of people doing the same

:03:20. > :03:22.thing in a joint endeavour. Yeah. These people couldn't dance. They go

:03:23. > :03:26.on a journey and there something about when you're in a dance studio

:03:27. > :03:32.or whatever, and you laugh together, sweat together, and fail together.

:03:33. > :03:37.You work towards the end product on the same level. People are helping

:03:38. > :03:42.each other to get to that point. If you times that by 350 in Barnsley

:03:43. > :03:54.and 500 people in the finale at York. The idea is Dancing in the

:03:55. > :04:00.Streets, plus some. Yes. It was taking the heritage of each town.

:04:01. > :04:06.Also there was no editing. It was a one track camera shot. You see warts

:04:07. > :04:09.and all. It wasn't to turn people into professional dancers because

:04:10. > :04:14.that would have become something different. It was about a

:04:15. > :04:18.celebration of a community and a cow. Sounds like the sort of thing

:04:19. > :04:26.you want to roll out in other parts of the country. -- celebration of a

:04:27. > :04:33.community and a town. The secrets, to let go and...? Listen to the

:04:34. > :04:37.music, listen to the lyrics and let your feet interpret what you're

:04:38. > :04:41.listening to. Freestyle! Thank you both.

:04:42. > :04:43.Our Dancing Town starts tomorrow on BBC Two at 9:00pm.

:04:44. > :04:46.We'll be speaking to Renee Fleming in a moment, but first a last,

:04:47. > :04:53.brief look at the headlines where you are this morning.

:04:54. > :04:58.A report out today says we could get more low-carbon power for less money

:04:59. > :05:03.by devolving control over Scottish customers electricity bills.

:05:04. > :05:05.All UK consumers are set to pay for the government's new nuclear

:05:06. > :05:11.But the study, for the Scottish Greens, by Aberdeen University,

:05:12. > :05:15.suggests Scots could fund almost twice as much power from onshore

:05:16. > :05:23.and offshore wind farms energy payments to be devolved to Holyrood.

:05:24. > :05:23.Scotland's police watchdog is to look at the way

:05:24. > :05:27.The exercise comes ahead of the proposed transfer

:05:28. > :05:35.Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabularies in Scotland

:05:36. > :05:39.including how it can be integrated into the main force.

:05:40. > :05:42.Reforms are needed to Scotland's skills system to meet the challenges

:05:43. > :05:44.facing the country's economy, according to a think tank.

:05:45. > :05:47.The Institute for Public Policy Research in Scotland says

:05:48. > :05:50.technological changes will alter traditional low and mid-skilled

:05:51. > :05:54.roles and as a result people will need to be better supported

:05:55. > :06:00.A windy day with strong southwesterly winds veering

:06:01. > :06:03.into the west eventually and bringing frequent, blustery

:06:11. > :06:13.The winds reaching gale force in the north and northwest by dusk.

:06:14. > :06:16.After a mild start temperatures will fall a few degrees settling

:06:17. > :06:36.Goodbye. BBC radio London.

:06:37. > :06:38.Often dismissed as being elitist, opera for a long time has

:06:39. > :06:42.But the soprano Renee Fleming is doing more than her fair share

:06:43. > :06:44.to bring it to the attention of the masses.

:06:45. > :06:48.She's performed at a Super Bowl final, an Olympics opening ceremony,

:06:49. > :06:49.President Obama's inauguration, as well as the Queen's

:06:50. > :06:53.With her new album, she's enlisted the help of Icelandic singer Bjork,

:06:54. > :07:01.Before we speak to Renee, let's have a look at one of those songs.

:07:02. > :07:53.The soprano Renee Fleming joins us now.

:07:54. > :08:02.Thank you for coming in. The linkup with Bjork, how did that come about?

:08:03. > :08:08.I just had this idea. She's a household name, I admire her

:08:09. > :08:14.creativity. She was doing things before with costumes and The Swan.

:08:15. > :08:19.All of her arrangements are extraordinary, she's an artist. She

:08:20. > :08:26.is also a Sopranos. I thought, let me just try it and see how it works

:08:27. > :08:33.with the. Did you phone her up and say, can we do something? It was

:08:34. > :08:40.through friends, eventually they said, just of it. It's got a

:08:41. > :08:45.particular sound. That song in particular, the words are so

:08:46. > :08:49.beautiful. I wondered if I should try to copy her vocally because she

:08:50. > :08:56.has an enigmatic way of singing, so I sang it with my voice. It's the

:08:57. > :09:02.first album of yours in three years. Aside from Bjork, what was your

:09:03. > :09:08.other inspiration? I had a holiday last year. It was the first

:09:09. > :09:13.orchestral piece in three years. It was a relationship with the

:09:14. > :09:17.Stockholm Philharmonic. We performed these long, serious works for

:09:18. > :09:24.soprano and orchestra which I love. They are beautiful. Then the Bjork

:09:25. > :09:30.was rounding out the Scandinavian picture, I think. You've performed

:09:31. > :09:36.at the Super Bowl, for President Obama. Also the Queen's Jubilee!

:09:37. > :09:40.That was unforgettable for us. You were on the balcony. Describe what

:09:41. > :09:44.that was like. I didn't realise what a big deal that was. Evidently we

:09:45. > :09:48.were the first people who weren't part of the Royal family to even

:09:49. > :09:53.appear on the balcony so that was exciting. Performing at Barack

:09:54. > :09:57.Obama's inauguration, I'm sure there's a lot of talk about who will

:09:58. > :10:03.sing at Donald Trump's inauguration, would you do that if asked? I think

:10:04. > :10:08.another thing is doing it, a lovely young singer, I love her talent. I

:10:09. > :10:16.think she's a perfect choice. She comes from TV, she is a huge star.

:10:17. > :10:19.She'll be great. Right at the beginning we talked about opera

:10:20. > :10:24.being elitist. You try to change that, how important is it for you? I

:10:25. > :10:29.don't think of opera as elitist at all. Opera employs so many people.

:10:30. > :10:34.There are so many young singers all over the world trying to do what we

:10:35. > :10:39.do. Its historic, it tells stories that are incredibly epic. I'd just

:10:40. > :10:44.like to open barriers. I want to be able to sing anything I want to

:10:45. > :10:49.sing, I've sung jazz, rock, now Bjork. I wanted to be available to

:10:50. > :10:55.everybody. Which is why when were watching the previous piece about

:10:56. > :11:00.dancing in the street, you were engaged in that because it's taking

:11:01. > :11:04.something outside the normal areas. Yes, I keep thinking about the joy

:11:05. > :11:08.of dancing. It's all about being inspired by music. We should be

:11:09. > :11:13.doing it more. I wish there was more dance. Where you performing last

:11:14. > :11:18.night in the Royal Opera House? I was. It's such a gorgeous opera. I

:11:19. > :11:24.love Strauss, he's my desert island composer. This role is my favourite.

:11:25. > :11:27.Two more performances. You're currently performing

:11:28. > :11:28.in Der Rosenkavalier Let's see you in it,

:11:29. > :12:10.this was a couple of That wasn't the one you've been

:12:11. > :12:15.doing over the past couple of days? This is a new production by Robert

:12:16. > :12:20.Carson but we are taking this to the Met in the spring. It's a more

:12:21. > :12:24.modern production. Its 20th century. We just saw the woman playing the

:12:25. > :12:28.man who then dresses up as the woman, it's gender fluid, it's quite

:12:29. > :12:34.modern. Obviously more work to comfort the neck rest of the year

:12:35. > :12:40.but what else are you planning? I'm touring, I'm going to Budapest, I'm

:12:41. > :12:46.in Asia. This production as the Met, always travelling, always doing new

:12:47. > :12:50.things. You were up late last night, here this morning. How do you
