This is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
More misery for hundreds of thousands of passengers as southern | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
rail is hit by a fresh wave of strikes. More than 2000 trains have | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
been cancelled on some of the network's busiest commuter lines. | :00:24. | :00:37. | |
Jeremy Corbyn says Britain can be better off after Brexit. | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
And for the first time, he says he's not wedded to freedom | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
of movement of EU workers into the UK. | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
A last-minute spending spree boosted retail sales this Christmas, | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
with more of us waiting til the last minute to snap up a bargain. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
But experts say it was our last big splurge before a difficult year | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Fifa are set to approve plans to have 48 teams | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
And Carol has the weather. Good morning. A breezy day ahead of us. | :01:08. | :01:21. | |
For some of us, starting on a bright note with sunshine. It is cold. | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
Thicker cloud in the west will introduce rain going from east to | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
west during the day. Later the wind will strengthen. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
And I'll have more details on the weather for you in 15 minutes. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Thanks, Carol. Another strike is affecting | :01:43. | :01:42. | |
services on Southern rail. days this week. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
will stop work for three The dispute about the role | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
of the guard on trains has been Our south of England | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
correspondent, Duncan Kennedy, Duncan, what is the mood | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
like among passengers there? It has been crippling train lines | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
for ten months. Commuters are out there. You have to get up early. It | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
takes longer. I am abandoning going out to town tomorrow. We will see | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
how things go later in the week. I have managed to get a train but it | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
is not good. It is really packed. It seems talks between the two sides | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
have turned nasty. They have been malicious. At best they have been | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
deceitful and at worst, spiteful. Our reality is that we are now | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
experiencing a new type of industrial relations in our industry | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
that we have not seen for some time. It is a row over the on board guard. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Southern ones them to take over the safety critical job of taking over | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
the doors. But the union says the guide should do it. A report by the | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
regulator says their plans were safe as long as they provided the right | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
equipment and training. All of the 2000 plus services in the company | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
will be cancelled today, tomorrow, and Friday. There will be huge | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
disruption on Thursday as well because the trains will be in the | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
wrong place at. That is on top of an overtime ban cutting services daily. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Another three strikes are planned later this month. The issue of | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
driver controlled trains is affecting Southern today but it | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
could easily transferred to other franchises through Britain. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Duncan Kennedy is at Horsham. A really difficult time for so many | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
people trying to travel. Absolutely. The start of another dismal day for | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
maybe 200,000 people. At Horsham, 5- 10,000 people who would normally use | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
this concourse. Look inside. It is completely empty. Nothing running | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
whatsoever. The difference compared to the strike last month is that | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Southern, together with other coach companies, putting on coaches to run | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
from here, about 200, and are saying it is very much a backup service. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
Don't expect much from it. It will get people from Central London to | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
other train stations where they can pick up other services. Very much | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
picking up the slack. Bradley will not take a coach or a train. How | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
will you get to work in London? I am driving today to Paddington to get | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
some parking there. I will try that today and maybe buses later in the | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
week. Another frustrating day. Not just a frustrating day, but a | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
frustrating year. The strike today is just another day of no train. We | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
are looking at something like 20% less trains over all on normal non- | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
strike days. Brighton to Victoria during peak hours is limited. There | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
is no express, there is nothing. This needs to end. It is all about | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
who opens these doors, the driver, the guardunderstand the dispute. Can | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
you see why no one is talking to each other? It was interesting | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
watching the debate last night. It is frustrating. What needs to happen | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
is the government needs to step in and mediate. If there are questions | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
over safety, why is this being pushed out so hard? It needs to be | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
mediated and a truce needs to be reached. Thank you. Good luck trying | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
to get into Central London. Another strike tomorrow and Friday. Forget | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
the trains tomorrow as the trains will not be in right place. Missouri | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
for hundreds of thousands of people in the south this week. -- misery. | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
Thank you for that. We will speak to the director of Souther Rails at 710 | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
this morning. A 15-year-old girl has been arrested | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
after the death of a seven-year-old The younger girl was found | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
with life-threatening injuries in the Woodthorpe area of the city | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
yesterday afternoon. She was taken to hospital | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
but died a short time later. The teenager remains in police | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
custody and is being questioned by officers from North | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
Yorkshire Police. Jeremy Corbyn is to outline Labour's | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
approach to Brexit in a speech later today, saying for the first time | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
that he is not "wedded" But he will warn that the UK cant | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
afford to lose full access Our political correspondent, | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
Iain Watson, is in Westminster. Iain Jeremy Corbyn has been under | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
pressure to respond to Labour voters concerns over | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
immigration, hasn't he? Good morning. Today we will hear | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
that. Not just from some of his own MPs. Has a tricky position. He has | :06:40. | :06:48. | |
to talk about the Remain voters. But he also has to reach out to those | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
who backed Leave in many parts of England outside London. We are | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
hearing a shift in rhetoric from Jeremy Corbyn, saying that he | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
recognises concerns about immigration in particular. He has | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
indeed set for the first time that they are not wedded to the principle | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
of free movement between European countries which seems to be | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
significant. If you look at the policies, I don't think he has | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
changed much. We have not seen any at all. He says it is important to | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
get access to the European single market, rather than having controls | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
on migration. His policy on that is the same as it was before. In | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
addition to that, he is policy is basically to try to stop employers | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
bringing in cheap labour to undercut people already here. No policy on | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
limiting numbers. He does not want to give false promises so no target. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
He will say that today. And no restrictions like his MPs are | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
calling for on the numbers of people with no skill at all coming into | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Britain to work. His opponents are attacking him for that. He will also | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
talk positively about the benefits of Brexit and the ability of a | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
Labour government for example in the future to intervene in the industry. | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
The Lib Dems are saying this proves that he never really campaigned to | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
keep Britain in the EU in the first place. Thank you. Coverage of that | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
speech a little later across the BBC. | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Retailers are reporting a strong end to 2016, | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
with sales up in December compared with the previous year. | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
According to the British Retail Consortium, many of us left it | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
to the last minute to splash the cash, and much of it was | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
Are you responsible for this? I left it until Christmas Eve. A lot of it | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
was festive food. You are right. People left it late because they | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
were expecting a bargain. All of those sales in the windows lit up. | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
The sales are happening before Christmas and not after as it always | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
used to. The British Retail Consortium says overall there is a | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
1% rise on how much we spent this year rather than last year on | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
Christmas shopping. On line sales have been good as well. 7.2% up. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Shop sales on the high street went down. The on line figures always | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
look good, but not as good as last year. Lusty was the real big arrival | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
of on line shopping. -- last year. We have gotten used to it this year. | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
Not the sort of increase as we saw. There has always been a worry. How | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
long before hand do you have to order to make sure you get it? That | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
is why they go to shops themselves. They do well. There is a warning | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
that this year could be a tough one for retailers because we know that | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
inflation is starting to pick up. That is a result of the fall in the | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
value of the pound after the vote for Brexit. It has meant the value | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
of the pound has fallen significantly. Anything imported | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
from overseas will cost us more. In the run-up for Christmas we did not | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
feel that much because retailers had already bought that stock. In the | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
new year we will see prices going up. Inflation should hit about 3% | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
this year. It could mean writers start rising on the things we pay. | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
We will not necessarily get a pay rise at work at the same time so it | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
may mean the money in our pockets will get a squeeze. A tough year for | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
retailers this year. Morrisons as results at seven. We will hear from | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
them and we expect them to do well. Sainsbury, Tesco, and others this | :10:24. | :10:24. | |
week. An. Boris Johnson, who's | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
visiting Washington, says he's confident Britain will be | :10:31. | :10:31. | |
first in line for a trade deal The Foreign Secretary has been | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
meeting senior Republican politicians who've promised to make | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
a US-UK trade deal a priority, Barack Obama warned in April | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
that the UK would be at the back Police in Northamptonshire have | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
closed a stretch of the M1 motorway after a body was found in the road | :10:46. | :10:56. | |
in the early hours of the morning. The northbound carriageway | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
between junctions 16 and 17, near Northampton and Rugby, | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
was shut following the discovery and is expected to remain | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
closed for most of today. Police are investigating | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
the circumstances of the death. The British and Irish governments | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
say they're going to work to try to find a solution | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
to the most serious political crisis Yesterday, the deputy First | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
minister, Sinn Fein's Martin It came after weeks of tensions | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
between his party and their partners in the power-sharing government, | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
the Democratic Unionists. An ancient giant sequoia tree, | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
known for the massive hollowed-out tunnel at its core, has been knocked | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
over during a series of storms The historic Pioneer Cabin Tree had | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
survived for centuries, and allowed tourists to pass | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
through it before it came down due It featured graffiti | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
dating back to the 1800s, when visitors were allowed to etch | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
their names into the tree's bark. Look at it. It is quite amazing, | :11:43. | :12:01. | |
isn't it? You can't just make stuff up. I don't know why I said three. I | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
don't know. I was looking at the pictures. | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
It seems even squirrels have a sweet tooth as they've been caught making | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
The owner of a grocery store in Toronto, who filmed this unlikely | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
thief, said the squirrels have stolen more than 40 chocolates. | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
They've now to social media for advice about how | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
The obvious joke, do you think they have gone for fruit and nut? | :12:27. | :12:45. | |
Amazing. Go on. The same one again. He is not doing much to stop them. | :12:46. | :12:55. | |
More gentle squirrel encouragement. That is what happens if you keep | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
feeding them chocolate. It could be an Olympic sport if it carries on. I | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
would certainly watch it. We are talking about a big vote in FIFA. | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
This is one of the things that Infantino campaigned about, a bigger | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
tournament. It looks as though we'll be | :13:20. | :13:19. | |
seeing more teams involved Fifa are expected to agree plans | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
later, to expand the tournament to 48 teams starting | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
from the 2026 World Cup. Infantino thinks... Well, a bit more | :13:28. | :13:44. | |
money in that. 521 million profit in it. He says it will let other | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
countries play on the big stage. Critics say it will dilute the | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
quality of the football. Claudio Ranieri has won FIFA's first | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
Coach of the Year award. The Leicester City manager | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
was in Zurich to pick up the title, recognition of his achievement | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
in leading the 5000:1 shots to the Premier League | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
title last season. Cristiano Ronaldo won | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
the Player's Award. Leeds United came from behind | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
to make it through to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup, | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
beating Cambridge United 2-1. They'll go to either non-league | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
Sutton United or AFC Wimbledon next. England's former captain | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
Chris Robshaw will miss the whole of the Six Nations | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
with a shoulder injury. The flanker is expected to be out | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
of action for 12 weeks. I normally get excited when we talk | :14:32. | :14:45. | |
about Six Nations because it means spring is on the way. But 12 weeks | :14:46. | :14:54. | |
is still a long-time. Shall we have a look at the papers? Yes. Here is | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
Ben. He is running. Let's have a look at the front of the Times. We | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
are talking about the Golden Globes and Meryl Streep has made front | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
pages of the papers. That was after her public spat with Donald Trump. | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
She had a go at him. He has had a pot back. And one in four A are on | :15:17. | :15:28. | |
say. Wigan Warriors, people who don't exercise during the week. | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
Apparently you can do at couple of sessions of exercise and you will | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
live longer -- Weekend warriors. That could be the way forward. | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
Britain's most senior judge mishandling the trial of a Royal | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
Marine found guilty of killing a wounded fighter. This is a wonderful | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
picture of the moon. The reason why the papers are talking about it is | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
the discovery that rather than the giant object striking earth and | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
forming a cloud of debris they suggest multiple asteroid strikes | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
created a moonlits, which merged. Lots of little moon is making a big | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
moon. OK... Let's have a look at the front page... Oh, hold on. Happy New | :16:23. | :16:32. | |
Year. The Daily Mirror, Hunt scraps before our A, and it is your | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
fault, and there again is Rijal -- Meryl Streep and Claire Foy from the | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
Queen. I have enjoyed reading from the papers today, there is nothing | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
exceptional in the sports papers, but there is a really long and | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
lovely interview with Sir Andy Murray, as we have to call him. | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
Someone sat down with him for the first time since we heard about the | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
knighthood as he prepares for the Australian Open and he is talking | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
about how he anguished over whether to accept it, at the age of 29, the | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
only second player in history as well, with more playing days in | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
front of him, he was wondering if it was too soon or if he should say no. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
He had messages of congratulations from Alex Ferguson and Jose | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Mourinho, which he thinks is cool, as a massive fan. After tennis he | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
fancies going to work in football. He is a big fan. He said he wants to | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
coach a young player coming up or get involved in football. That would | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
be interesting. He is quite good at keepy-uppy. Yes. You sent me to look | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
at the Tube strike siesta they and the pictures are of the chaos | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
yesterday. Crush hour in the Sun. You can see the taxi queues and | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
people trying to get on the buses. Similar in the Mirror with people | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
trying to get onto the extra buses. Even though the strike finished at | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
six o'clock Tom of the trains were not in the right place, and here is | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
the evidence -- finished at six o'clock, the trains were not in the | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
right place. It took people a long time. And for Southern passengers, | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
they will be facing disruption. The Tube strike has ended but much more | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
disruption for those on Southern. Thank you. This one on the inside of | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
the Sun, this is a homeowner nightmare. This young lady is trying | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
to sell her house. She can't at the moment because of a dongle. One side | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
of her bedroom officially belongs to her neighbour. Oh, my goodness. | :19:05. | :19:14. | |
Officially she doesn't own half of the bedroom and so she can't sell | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
it. Extraordinary. I want to ask this later, thunderstorm? This is an | :19:22. | :19:33. | |
official term, and active shower with thunder as well, turning into | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
snow, so the water will fall as snow. I think Carol would do a | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
better job than me. Thank you. Plenty more from these guys through | :19:47. | :19:47. | |
the program. You're watching | :19:48. | :19:48. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning: | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
Further misery for commuters as Southern Rail drivers | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
begin their latest walk out. Britain can be better off | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
after Brexit, according to Jeremy Corbyn, who also says | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
Labour is not wedded Shall we try to get to the bottom of | :19:58. | :20:28. | |
this? Thunder snow? It is when the thunder in the snow is called | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
thunder snow. It is quite simple. This morning we have a chilly start | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
for some with clear skies. As the weather front comes from the west it | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
will turn milder and colder. This morning we have cloud around. We | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
have some breaks. That is where it will feel nippy. The cloud is thick | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
enough for the odd shower. Some across the south-west, the Midlands | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
and northern England as well. Into Scotland, cloud, bright spells and | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
some showers. The weather front coming from the west producing rain | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
for Northern Ireland. It isn't particularly heavy. It is a warm | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
front. As it pushes to the east the temperature will go up. You can see | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
the cloud building ahead of it, raising the sunshine. Then behind it | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
we feed in cold air through the course of the day. Heading into the | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
evening and overnight you will notice the wind, the strength will | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
pick up. Northern and western Scotland will have casts to gale | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
force, even severe gales, extending through the course of the night -- | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
gusts. Meanwhile, we have a plethora Showers coming in, some will be | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
wintry. Here is the weather front continuing over to the new | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
continent. The wind might cause disruption tonight. Across the tops | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
of the Pennines we could have 70 mph, that might affect higher-level | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
roots of the M62. Tomorrow with the strong winds it could lead to some | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
travel disruption. We are looking at strong winds from north Wales, the | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
north Midlands, heading northwards. The strongest winds for the north of | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
Scotland. You will notice the winds elsewhere. If you're travelling in a | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
high sided vehicle, light vehicle, a bike, buried in mind, it will be | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
much colder with wintry showers in the north, increasingly pulling at | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
lower levels as well. -- falling. Another windy day in prospect on | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
Thursday. Not as wind in the south. The next weather coming in, this | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
from the south-west, this will bring rain but the problem is as it | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
engages with the cold air it could fall as snow. It might fall to snow | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
on modest hills and possibly at lower levels. We could be looking at | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
a combination of rain, sleet and snow for Southern counties. We over | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
the next few days this area of low pressure will be giving us some | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
trouble. Nor for that and we have wintry showers. It will feel much | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
colder than has done. Some of those will fall at lower levels as well. | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
That is Thursday. Those are the temperatures to expect, three or | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
four in the north. It will feel much colder. Look at that, -2, -3, so get | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
out your woollies. Thank you. Wolf whistles, car horns | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
and concerns over safety - these are just some of the things | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
women say they worry According to research | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
from England Athletics, more than a third of British women | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
have received some form of harassment while running | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
on their own, as Holly Hamilton # you can call me runner. It has | :23:40. | :23:59. | |
quickly become one of the UK's most popular sports with the number of | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
people in England this is -- is abating increasing. If you are a | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
woman it is unjust cold weather that can be more than a little | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
offputting. With a show of hands how many people feel they have been | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
harassed while outrunning? That is pretty much all of you. It is people | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
trying to make fun, have a joke and stuff, so it hasn't been harassment, | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
but you could take it that way and feel intimidated by it. And it seems | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
they are not alone. Research from England Athletics revealed more than | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
a third of British women have been harassed in some way while running | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
alone. More than 60% said they feel anxious and nearly half of those | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
asked said that was due to personal safety concerns. I got shouted at by | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
a couple of men as I was running around, and whistled at, that was | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
quite intimidating. You get beat with horns. I was running through a | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
village I know and a group of lads started running at the sight of me. | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
It was a bit intimidating. I kept running and thinking, you won't beat | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
me, crack on. You do get the odd car that beats its horn as we go past. | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
Races with cars. Nothing else better to do then beat them all and | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
wolfwhistle. But British women are fit for it with most insisting it | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
wouldn't put them off altogether. Running in a group is a lot better | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
than if you are running on your own. When you are in a group it is the | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
support and everything that you go through with everybody around you so | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
it doesn't feel as intimidating as if you are running on your own. | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
These runners say it is about safety in numbers, so all that is left to | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
worry about is keeping up. That is fantastic. Do you run on | :25:44. | :25:56. | |
your own? I do but I wouldn't at night. I run with a triathlon club | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
at night because I don't feel safe. Margaret said, fat comments shouted | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
from the same car on several occasions. I took to running at | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
night to avoid unknown individuals. Leah says, that is why I joined the | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
gym, less comments from mindless thugs in cars. Suzanne, cheering | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
from youths in a van, it made me laugh and I took it as an | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
encouragement. That is the best way to approach it, isn't it, to laugh | :26:25. | :26:26. | |
at it. You can e-mail us at | :26:27. | :26:27. | |

incredible footage has captured chimpanzees making | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
straws to drink water. We'll speak to an evolutionary | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
biologist about the discovery. Time now to get the news, | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
travel and weather where you are. Plenty more on our website | :26:45. | :30:13. | |
at the usual address. This is Breakfast with | :30:14. | :30:25. | |
Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. Prices at the pumps are going up, | :30:26. | :30:28. | |
and soon, motorists could be paying 25% more for fuel | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
than they were this time last year. Also this morning, with class | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
sizes on the increase in some places, we'll see how one | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
secondary school copes with 46 And the "Worst Witch" book series | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
has enchanted children for decades, and it's now | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
being turned in to a new TV series. We'll meet one of its stars | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
later in the programme. But now, a summary of this | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
morning's main news. Another strike is affecting | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
services on Southern rail. Drivers belonging to the Aslef union | :31:05. | :31:06. | |
will stop work for three The dispute about | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
the role of the guard on trains has been going | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
on for nearly ten months. Our transport correspondent, | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
Richard Westcott, has this report. It is a dispute which has been | :31:16. | :31:29. | |
crippling London's train lines You have to get up early to go | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
underground or get a bus. I am abandoning going | :31:33. | :31:47. | |
out to town tomorrow. We will see how things | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
go later in the week. I have managed to get | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
a train but it is not good. It seems talks between the two | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
sides have turned nasty. The tactics they have used | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
have been malicious. At best they have been dishonest, | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
disingenuious, deceitful, Our reality is that we are now | :32:06. | :32:07. | |
experiencing a new type of industrial relations | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
in our industry that we have not It's a row over the role | :32:13. | :32:14. | |
of the on board guard. Southern wants drivers to take over | :32:15. | :32:22. | |
the safety-critical job But the union says | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
the guard should do it. A report by the regulator says | :32:26. | :32:28. | |
Southern's plans were safe as long as they provided the right | :32:29. | :32:32. | |
equipment and training. All of the 2000 plus services | :32:33. | :32:34. | |
in the company will be cancelled There'll be huge disruption | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
on Thursday too because the trains And that's on top of an overtime ban | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
cutting services daily. Another three-day strike | :32:42. | :32:49. | |
is planned later this month. The issue of driver-controlled | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
trains is affecting Southern today, but it could easily spread to other | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
franchises through Britain. We will be speaking to Southern | :32:56. | :32:58. | |

closed a stretch of the M1 motorway after a body was found in the road | :34:09. | :34:20. | |
in the early hours of the morning. The northbound carriageway | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
between junctions 16 and 17, near Northampton and Rugby, has been | :34:25. | :34:26. | |
shut following the discovery and is expected to remain | :34:27. | :34:29. | |
closed for most of today. The British and Irish governments | :34:30. | :34:36. | |
say they're going to work to try to find a solution | :34:37. | :34:39. | |
to the most serious political crisis Yesterday, the deputy | :34:40. | :34:42. | |
First minister, Sinn Fein's Martin | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
McGuinness resigned. It came after weeks of tension | :34:46. | :34:47. | |
between his party and their partners in the power-sharing government, | :34:48. | :34:50. | |
the Democratic Unionists. Northern Ireland Secretary James | :34:51. | :34:52. | |
Brokenshire is expected to make Concerns have been raised | :34:53. | :34:54. | |
about the care of transgender prisoners following four deaths | :34:55. | :35:01. | |
in just over a year at jails Nigel Newcomen, called for jails | :35:02. | :35:04. | |
to be more flexible and proactive in managing inmates | :35:05. | :35:10. | |
who had changed gender. In the past few months, | :35:11. | :35:12. | |
the Ministry of Justice has revised its guidance to ensure | :35:13. | :35:14. | |
the "great majority" of transgender inmates are dealt with according | :35:15. | :35:17. | |
to the gender they identify with. I am taking extra care with the time | :35:18. | :35:41. | |
checks at the moment. It is 6:35. New Year new you. If you are a | :35:42. | :35:47. | |
cynic, you would think the plans to expand the World Cup are about the | :35:48. | :35:55. | |
cash. Infantino wants to expand the already quite large team and mount | :35:56. | :36:03. | |
up to 48 teams. That would create millions more from the World Cup but | :36:04. | :36:07. | |
puts extra pressure on the host country. 16 teams will travel across | :36:08. | :36:13. | |
the world to play one match and go back again. That is the nature of | :36:14. | :36:19. | |
it. But Infantino says it is a good idea because it would mean more | :36:20. | :36:23. | |
teams get to play at the World Cup on the world stage and what better | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
way to boost football across the world. It is not about the money. He | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
says. It looks as though we'll be | :36:30. | :36:31. | |
seeing more teams involved Fifa are expected to agree plans | :36:32. | :36:33. | |
later to expand the finals from 32 teams to 48 teams starting | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
from the 2026 World Cup. There'd be 16 groups of three, | :36:39. | :36:41. | |
and then a straight knock-out stage. Critics say it will dilute | :36:42. | :36:44. | |
the quality of the football but one The African and Asian continents | :36:45. | :36:56. | |
will benefit. We should not be scared. The Euros have shown that | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
island, Welsh, these are countries that know about football. -- | :37:03. | :37:09. | |
Ireland. Now the world of football knows the techniques. The | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
entertainment will be there for sure anyway. | :37:15. | :37:15. | |
Claudio Ranieri has won FIFA's first Coach of the Year award. | :37:16. | :37:18. | |
The Leicester City manager was in Zurich to pick up the title, | :37:19. | :37:21. | |
recognition of his achievement in leading the 5000:1 | :37:22. | :37:23. | |
shots to the Premier League title last season. | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
I think what happened last season in England was amazing, it was | :37:27. | :37:38. | |
something strange. The god of fools said Leicester must win only this. | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
Only this. And who else but Cristiano Ronaldo | :37:43. | :37:43. | |
was player of the year. He added the Fifa trophy | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
to the Ballon D'or award he picked up last month, after a season | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
in which he captained Portugal to the European Championship and won | :37:50. | :37:53. | |
the Champions League The FA Cup holders, | :37:54. | :37:55. | |
Manchester United, have been drawn But here's what the Cup | :37:56. | :38:02. | |
is all about. Wycombe Wanderers, | :38:03. | :38:07. | |
from League Two, see Tottenham Hotspur | :38:08. | :38:08. | |
pulled out of the hat They quite like the idea | :38:09. | :38:10. | |
of a trip to White Hart Lane. You can see the full draw | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
on the BBC Sport website. Look at those celebrations. We were | :38:14. | :38:23. | |
talking yesterday about how some viewers were disappointed it was | :38:24. | :38:29. | |
just Premier League games on the television for free to view viewers | :38:30. | :38:34. | |
over the weekend. Look at that. That is what it is about. Lower level | :38:35. | :38:40. | |
team is going to White Hart Lane. You have to celebrate with your | :38:41. | :38:47. | |
phone in your hand, don't you? Jamie Vardy's party all over the Internet. | :38:48. | :38:49. | |
Leeds United made it through last night, | :38:50. | :38:51. | |
though they were given a scare by League Two Cambridge United, | :38:52. | :38:54. | |
who went ahead through Oochay Ikpeazu. | :38:55. | :38:56. | |
But Alex Mowatt scored the winner for Leeds. | :38:57. | :38:58. | |
They'll go to either non-league Sutton United or AFC Wimbledon | :38:59. | :39:01. | |
England's former rugby captain Chris Robshaw will miss the whole | :39:02. | :39:07. | |
of the Six Nations with a shoulder injury. | :39:08. | :39:09. | |
The flanker damaged his left shoulder | :39:10. | :39:11. | |
in Harlequins' match with Worcester on New Year's Day and is expected | :39:12. | :39:14. | |
Joe Root should be available for the start of England's one-day | :39:15. | :39:21. | |
Root will fly out tomorrow, having stayed in the UK to be | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
with his partner for the birth of their first child. | :39:26. | :39:28. | |
The rest of the squad are already in India, | :39:29. | :39:30. | |
including captain Eoin Morgan who was criticised by some | :39:31. | :39:33. | |
for missing the tour of Bangladesh because of security concerns. | :39:34. | :39:39. | |
When things have been announced like that you can plan how to deal with | :39:40. | :39:45. | |
them. My way of dealing with that was get away from things, which I | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
did. And I did not see a great deal of it. I think my family has seen a | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
lot of it and were very offended, but that is part and parcel of being | :39:57. | :39:59. | |
in the limelight sometimes. But certainly standing here I do not | :40:00. | :40:01. | |
regret my decision. Johanna Konta's preparations | :40:02. | :40:03. | |
for the Australian Open continue The British number one | :40:04. | :40:06. | |
is through to the third round of the Sydney International | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
after a comfortable straight sets win over Australia's | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
Daria Gavrilova. Do you still have a Christmas tree | :40:13. | :40:26. | |
in your backyard? Ours is right there. Behind the camera. | :40:27. | :40:29. | |
LAUGHING. . This is the annual world Christmas | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
tree throwing competition held in Germany. It includes three different | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
types of borrowing, the high jump, which you can see there, the | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
javelin, and this guy has a rope, I am not sure if that contravenes the | :40:44. | :40:48. | |
rules, and spinning. That is one of the categories. It looks like it is | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
allowed. Christopher Miloff went the service, 22.5 metres. That is a long | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
way. Miner still on the front garden. It fell over in the wind | :41:00. | :41:04. | |
this morning. I saw it as I was heading out. At least I have | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
something interesting to do with it. I have always thought the welly wack | :41:09. | :41:17. | |
is the best. My dad broke the record. 641. Breakfast. | :41:18. | :41:27. | |
Northern Ireland is facing its most serious political crisis | :41:28. | :41:30. | |
in a decade, following the resignation of Deputy First | :41:31. | :41:32. | |
The departure of the Sinn Fein politician | :41:33. | :41:35. | |
from the country's power-sharing executive means Democratic Unionist | :41:36. | :41:37. | |
leader Arlene Foster loses her position as First | :41:38. | :41:39. | |
To find out more, we're joined by Jon Tonge, | :41:40. | :41:42. | |
Professor of Politics at University of Liverpool, | :41:43. | :41:44. | |
who specialises in Northern Irish politics. | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
I suppose it is an interesting time for you but worrying times for | :41:50. | :41:55. | |
others. This is about, just explain to us, renewable heat scheme | :41:56. | :42:02. | |
bringing down the government. Arlene Foster, First Minister, she was the | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
minister in charge of the scheme for three years. She is being directly | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
blamed by political opponents for what went on in terms of the scheme. | :42:13. | :42:15. | |
Basically, the difference between the skin, trialled on this side of | :42:16. | :42:22. | |
the waters, was to try to encourage people to go to more energy | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
efficient ways of dealing with feel. -- scheme. Arlene Foster has been | :42:27. | :42:31. | |
held responsible by her opponents by this watched scheme, find a lot of | :42:32. | :42:38. | |
money. -- botched. That is the base of the problem. Martin McGuinness | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
has stepped down. That means she has to take over the role. She is in a | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
difficult position. Two resignations yesterday. One voluntary from Martin | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
McGuinness. And another because Arlene Foster was stood down by him. | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
You have to have a First Minister for the groups respectively. What | :42:59. | :43:05. | |
happens next, Sinn Fein has seven days to nominate a replacement for | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
Martin McGuinness. That will not happen. That is it. The ball is now | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
in the Secretary of State's court to get the parties around the table to | :43:16. | :43:19. | |
come up with a compromise. It is difficult to see where that will lie | :43:20. | :43:23. | |
because Arlene Foster says she will not step aside for a single day in | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
advance of an enquiry taking place into what happened. If she sticks to | :43:28. | :43:33. | |
that position, there is no reason to suggest she will move from it, we | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
are looking at elections in Northern Ireland. What will happen in terms | :43:38. | :43:43. | |
of elections, it looks like the DUP and Sinn Fein will still be the | :43:44. | :43:47. | |
largest parties. Haps Sinn Fein could become the largest and provide | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
the First Minister. -- perhaps. But how do you restore this in northern | :43:53. | :43:57. | |
Ireland if you have the same problem and you have no enquiry into the | :43:58. | :44:03. | |
heating scheme? Fascinating. Could this be the end of her political | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
career? It would be if the DUP is not returned as the largest party in | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
Northern Ireland. If she is re-elected, the DUP will make her | :44:13. | :44:19. | |
claim she has a mandate to carry on as First Minister from the | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
electorate. Thank you for your time. Thank you. | :44:24. | :44:25. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :44:26. | :44:26. | |
The main stories this morning: Further misery for commuters | :44:27. | :44:29. | |
as Southern Rail drivers begin their latest walk out. | :44:30. | :44:31. | |
Britain can be better off after Brexit, according | :44:32. | :44:33. | |
to Jeremy Corbyn, who also says Labour is not wedded | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :44:37. | :44:47. | |
We are off to South Ayrshire. Good morning. It is a cloudy start. Of | :44:48. | :44:58. | |
us. A beautiful picture here. -- it is a cloudy start for some of us. At | :44:59. | :45:02. | |
the moment we have some clear skies. Under the clear skies temperatures | :45:03. | :45:07. | |
have dropped. There is quite a bit of clout around. Here and there the | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
clout is thick enough to be producing some showers, so the | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
south-west England, the Midlands, East Anglia, northern England. And | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
as we drift into Scotland a very similar story. Some clear skies and | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
also some showers. Perhaps heavier across Scotland. Then we run into | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
this area of rain. It is a warm front which is coming our way. The | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
rain on it will be substantial. What it's going to do is move from the | :45:34. | :45:37. | |
west to the east through the day so the cloud will build a racing and | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
eradicating the area of sunshine for most of us. And then behind it we've | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
got a cold front on its heels. And behind the cold front you will find | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
it will slowly start to turn colder through the day. The thing you will | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
notice tonight is the strengthening win. Now across the far north of | :45:55. | :45:59. | |
Scotland we are looking at Gus DeGale even severe gales. It will be | :46:00. | :46:03. | |
a windy night across-the-board especially from north Wales, | :46:04. | :46:11. | |
Norfolk, north was -- looking at Gusts to gales. Elsewhere, higher | :46:12. | :46:18. | |
levels of the M62 might be affected, and through the course of tomorrow | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
strong winds will be an issue and might lead to travel disruption. | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
Tomorrow it will be colder for us all. The weather fronts pushing to | :46:28. | :46:33. | |
the new continent. There will be some sunshine but with the cold air | :46:34. | :46:36. | |
we will see an increasing wintry showers. Even at levels across | :46:37. | :46:40. | |
Scotland, and the hills across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. | :46:41. | :46:44. | |
It is still going to be windy tomorrow. As we head on into | :46:45. | :46:49. | |
Thursday you can see the strong wind from these isobars in the north of | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
the country. First eight also brings low pressure. This area of low | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
pressure is giving us such a headache. What we think of the | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
moment will happen is as it comes across Southern counties it will | :47:03. | :47:05. | |
engage with the cold air. That combination means that some of us | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
will see some sleet and snow. So if we look at the picture you can see | :47:10. | :47:14. | |
in the north we have wintry showers. Again at lower levels at times. And | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
we have rain coming in across South Wales in southern England. As eating | :47:19. | :47:22. | |
gauges with the cold air we will see some of the snow on the hills and we | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
might see some at low levels. We don't expect it to last for terribly | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
long. But the jury on this is out and it could change. It could go | :47:32. | :47:34. | |
further north, it could also go further south. Don't make this the | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
last forecast that you see. These are the temperatures. In the court | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
air and wind it will feel more like below freezing for many. -- in the | :47:45. | :47:50. | |
cold air and wind. I like the way you work a little advert for the | :47:51. | :47:54. | |
weather in as well. It was really good. It won't be the last one that | :47:55. | :47:56. | |
we watch, we promise. Motorists could be paying 25% more | :47:57. | :47:57. | |
for petrol by the end of this month, Yes, sorry, I am off the bearer of | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
bad news. This is research from | :48:02. | :48:09. | |
the Petrol Retailers' Association, and we can speak to | :48:10. | :48:12. | |
them in just a sec. But to understand what we pay | :48:13. | :48:14. | |
at the pumps, we need to look Oil prices have more | :48:15. | :48:18. | |
than halved since summer 2015, and that meant cheaper fuel for us, | :48:19. | :48:25. | |
even though much of what we pay This morning the Petrol Retailers' | :48:26. | :48:28. | |
Association says it expects oil We've not seen since prices | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
like that since June 2015. And back then, prices | :48:34. | :48:41. | |
rose to 117p per litre. But today, many of us | :48:42. | :48:43. | |
are already paying that, so it's expected motorists will be | :48:44. | :48:46. | |
paying over ?1.25 Brian Madderson is Chairman | :48:47. | :48:48. | |
of the Petrol Retailers Association. Good morning. When we see these | :48:49. | :49:09. | |
figures, we have a tendency to get caught up in the wholesale price. | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
What the world oil markets are doing. How does it affect what we | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
pay at the pump? A lot of it is tax. Yes, we still have duty at 57.9 5p | :49:20. | :49:29. | |
per litre, with 20% VAT it works out at about 65% of what we pay at the | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
pump is tax. We are lobbying the Treasury very hard to try to reduce | :49:35. | :49:40. | |
the duty by at least 3p per litre. That would be good for consumers | :49:41. | :49:47. | |
around the UK. In the meantime, the other levers which are important for | :49:48. | :49:54. | |
the prices are Brent crude, the oil price standard, and that has almost | :49:55. | :49:59. | |
doubled since last year. Why is it rising? Because OPEC at last seemed | :50:00. | :50:05. | |
to have come to an agreement when they met in November to cut | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
production from February. That production cut is meant to stabilise | :50:10. | :50:15. | |
and push prices up because all of the OPEC countries, indeed, Russia | :50:16. | :50:20. | |
has been included in that, have got their own internal economic problems | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
and they are desperate to get a higher price. They have held the | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
western world to ransom before and I think this is what they are doing a | :50:31. | :50:38. | |
game. We are looking at the likelihood of $60 per barrel -- | :50:39. | :50:46. | |
doing it again. The second thing is pound sterling against the US dollar | :50:47. | :50:49. | |
because oil prices are in US dollars and yesterday we had a 10 week low | :50:50. | :50:54. | |
of pound sterling when it collapsed. You may say it has come at the worst | :50:55. | :50:59. | |
time with prices going up for everything else, even in the shops, | :51:00. | :51:04. | |
we won't see wages go up this year and, you are right, inflation rising | :51:05. | :51:08. | |
as a result of the fall in the value of the pound, is there anything to | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
avoid this? Yes, pressure the Chancellor to reduce duty. Will he | :51:13. | :51:20. | |
listen? It is a familiar tale. He never really does it. Yes, because | :51:21. | :51:25. | |
their own research, which they did in 2014, showed that reductions in | :51:26. | :51:32. | |
duty have got a beneficial lock onto the whole economy. Remember, the UK | :51:33. | :51:39. | |
is a transport economy. 100% of our food moves by road and 80% of all | :51:40. | :51:44. | |
goods. If you have got higher delivery costs, higher distribution, | :51:45. | :51:47. | |
that will affect the whole economy and be negative. It is really good | :51:48. | :51:51. | |
to talk to you. Thank you for explaining that. | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
I will have the figures from Morrisons in 10 minutes. Stay tuned. | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
Have a look at these incredible pictures. | :52:03. | :52:04. | |
For the first time, scientists have captured incredible images | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
of chimpanzees making straws to drink water. | :52:08. | :52:13. | |
But what more does it tell us about the primate described | :52:14. | :52:16. | |
Joining us in the studio now is Susanne Shultz, | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
an evolutionary biologist from Manchester University. | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
It looks fantastically efficient, doesn't it, so what have they done? | :52:26. | :52:34. | |
They have developed a strategy to get water out of trees. And what is | :52:35. | :52:39. | |
nice is it shows another new behaviour that chimps have | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
developed. There are other populations in Africa where we see | :52:44. | :52:46. | |
different solutions to the same problem. We can go from population | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
to population and you see chimpanzees doing different Hades. | :52:51. | :52:56. | |
What have they done with the stick? -- different behaviours. They have | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
chosen the stick, they chew on the end of it and basically it makes it | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
something that soaks up water. Sponge. They put it into a tree | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
will, which they can access the water, then they suck on the end of | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
the stick. Essentially like you say, it is learning how to solve a | :53:17. | :53:21. | |
problem, and I am sure I have seen footage of chimps trying to get | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
honey out of nests, so it is about saying, what do I need to do, I will | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
use a straw? That is what they do better than any other close | :53:33. | :53:37. | |
relative. They develop a toolkit of things to solve problems in their | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
environment. They can extract honey, they do termite fishing, and other | :53:43. | :53:46. | |
population in central Africa uses leaves, they chew up the leaves to | :53:47. | :53:52. | |
use as a sponge. They look at the environment and solve problems. And | :53:53. | :53:57. | |
they learn from each other. There is a baby chimp learning as well. That | :53:58. | :54:03. | |
is another thing that is unusual. They use what we call social | :54:04. | :54:07. | |
learning a lot. If one animal in the group solve the problem, another | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
will come and watch them and go, I will try that as well. What does it | :54:13. | :54:16. | |
tell us more broadly about intelligence? There have been a | :54:17. | :54:20. | |
number of studies looking at the different kinds of behaviours | :54:21. | :54:25. | |
primates use and what we know it is primates with big brains like | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
chimpanzees have bigger toolkit than primates with more brains. And if we | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
want to put this in the context of human abolition we can look at this | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
as potentially an early springboard into our own use of technology and | :54:38. | :54:43. | |
innovation. Because what they do is they develop new strategies and | :54:44. | :54:47. | |
tools but not to the extent that we do. Obviously. Really fascinating. | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
And when you see pictures from your point of view, that is a | :54:53. | :54:57. | |
breakthrough? I'm not sure it is a massive breakthrough. Is very | :54:58. | :55:02. | |
interesting. We have a lot of detailed information on chimpanzees | :55:03. | :55:05. | |
from across Africa and they do lots of interesting things, so this is | :55:06. | :55:08. | |
another interesting thing that they do. Have you ever tried drinking tea | :55:09. | :55:14. | |
through a chocolate bar? You by the end of both and suck tea through the | :55:15. | :55:20. | |
chocolate bar. Oh, you have to experience this. Really? It is a | :55:21. | :55:22. | |
life changer. Thank you. Still to come this morning: | :55:23. | :55:26. | |
The parents of actor Peter Davison used to own a sweet shop, | :55:27. | :55:32. | |
so how did he do in an experiment No chocolate tea, that's the shore. | :55:33. | :55:51. | |
I want you to show me this. -- that's for sure. I cannot name the | :55:52. | :55:53. | |
chocolate bar that I use it with, This is Breakfast, | :55:54. | :59:12. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. More misery for hundreds | :59:13. | :00:02. | |
of thousands of passengers as Southern Rail is hit | :00:03. | :00:04. | |
by a fresh wave of strikes. More than 2,000 trains have been | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
cancelled on some of the rail Thank you for turning the TV on this | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
morning. Jeremy Corbyn is to outline Labour's | :00:11. | :00:38. | |
approach to Brexit in a speech later today, saying for the first time | :00:39. | :00:52. | |
that he is not "wedded" Fifa are set to approve | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
plans to have 48 teams Good morning. A quiet day in terms | :00:55. | :01:18. | |
of weather. Some sunshine. A band of rain coming in from the west and | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
going east through the day. Tomorrow will be very windy with some of us | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
in the south of England seeing gales. It turns colder with some | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
snow. More details in 15 minutes. Another strike is affecting | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
services on Southern rail. Drivers belonging to the Aslef union | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
will stop work for three The dispute, about the role | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
of the guard on trains, has been going on for | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
nearly ten months. Our transport correspondent, | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Richard Westcott, has this report. It's a dispute which has been | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
crippling one of Britain's busiest You have to get up early to go | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
underground or get a bus. I am abandoning going | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
out to town tomorrow. We will see how things | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
go later in the week. I have managed to get a train | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
but it is not good at all. And it seems talks between the two | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
sides have turned nasty. The tactics that they've used have | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
been particularly malicious. At best they have been dishonest, | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
disingenuious, deceitful, Our reality is that we are now | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
experiencing a new type of industrial relations | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
in our industry that we have not It's a row over the role | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
of the on board guard. Southern wants drivers to take over | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
the safety-critical job But the union says its safer | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
for the guard to keep doing it. A report by the regulator says | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
Southern's plans were safe as long as they provided the right | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
equipment and training. All of the 2000 plus services | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
in the company will be cancelled There'll be huge disruption | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
on Thursday too because the trains And that's on top of an overtime ban | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
which is cutting services daily. Another three-day strike | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
is planned later this month. The issue of driver-controlled | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
trains is affecting Southern today, but it could easily spread to other | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
franchises through Britain. Richard Westcott, BBC News. We will | :03:16. | :03:32. | |
speak to the director in just a few minutes. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is to outline Labour's approach to Brexit in a speech later | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
today, saying for the first time that he is not "wedded" | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
But he will warn that the UK cant afford to lose full access | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
Our political correspondent, Iain Watson, is in Westminster. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Iain Jeremy Corbyn has been under pressure to respond to Labour voters | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
concerns over immigration, hasn't he? | :03:54. | :03:54. | |
It is good to speak to you again. That is right on a couple of fronts. | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
First of all, he wants more scrutiny of Theresa May's plans. Even his MPs | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
are asking him what Labour's plans are after Brexit. He has always been | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
pressed to do more to reach out to Labour voters who voted to leave in | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
the referendum outside of London. He is addressing the issue of | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
immigration head on. He is showing he recognises concerns about the | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
efforts of immigration. He is also saying he is no longer wedded to the | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
free movement within Europe. But his policies do not seem to be changing | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
much at all. His solutions on immigration are similar to what he | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
put forward before. An impact fund to help those areas with high levels | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
of immigration put forward by Gordon Brown. He will also say they will | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
try to prevent unscrupulous employers bringing in cheap labour | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
from the EU to undercut workers already in Britain. Elsewhere in his | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
speech he is talking positively about some of the benefits of | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Brexit, including that the future of the government could intervene on | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
behalf of British industry. Some old EU rules could be swept aside copies | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
of his MPs are saying privately that this proves his heart was not in the | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
campaign to stay inside the EU in the first place. It is good to talk | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
to you as ever. Thank you very much. A 15-year-old girl has been arrested | :05:26. | :05:28. | |

say they're going to work to try to find a solution | :06:03. | :06:19. | |
to the most serious political crisis Yesterday, the deputy First | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
minister, Sinn Fein's Martin It came after weeks of tensions | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
between his party and their partners in the power-sharing government, | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
the Democratic Unionists. Our Ireland correspondent, | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
Chris Page, reports. He joins us from Belfast. Good | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
morning. How serious is this and what happens next? This morning, the | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
devolved government in Northern Ireland is without its leaders. That | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
means the administration has stopped functioning. What happens next? | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
After seven days under the Westminster Cabinet member should | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
call a new election to the assembly. He might have flexibility over the | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
timing of that giving them time to bring the parties together over | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
negotiations. He says he will do what he can to restore stability. | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Politicians are preparing for an election. Say it happens as seems | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
likely, the last election was eight months ago. The DUP and Sinn Fein | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
were ahead of the other parties. If that happens again, they are | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
unlikely to go back to each other straightaway because the | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
disagreement between them was so serious. This was after a scandal of | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
a green energy scheme. There were other issues that they disagreed on, | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
like same-sex marriage. Sinn Fein wants to bring it into Northern | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
Ireland and DUP said no. And Sinn Fein wanted to remain after the | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
exit. They are going to see if they can resolve differences. Northern | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Ireland could be without a devolved government for quite some time under | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
those circumstances. Police in Northamptonshire have | :08:00. | :08:11. | |
closed a stretch of the M1 motorway after a body was found in the road | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
in the early hours of the morning. The northbound carriageway | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
between junctions 16 and 17, near Northampton and Rugby, | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
was shut following the discovery and is expected to remain | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
closed for most of today. Police are investigating | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
the circumstances of the death. There has just been an update on how | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Morrison's fared over Christmas. We have details. How did they do? They | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
have done really well for a change. Expectations were a rise of 1.1%. | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
But they are actually up by 2.9%. That is huge! A 2.9% increase in | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
sales. That is over the really important lucrative Christmas | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
period, nine weeks that cover November and December. The best | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
figures for Morrison's incidentally in seven years. It is important | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
because they have been a retailer that has really struggled of late | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
because it is part way through a big turnaround plan. Latency problems of | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
its take over with Safeway and all that. They say they are back on | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
track. What is interesting if they are buying fewer items. Shoppers are | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
going into the supermarket but spending more on less items. Maybe | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
it is showing we are feeling better off and are trading off over | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Christmas. That is the figure for Morrison's. This week we will get | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
figures for Tesco and Sainsbury is and Jon Lewis. And you have figures | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
on how much we as a nation have been spending. Not asked. | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
LAUGHING. . That is what people want to know, | :09:44. | :09:54. | |
us. -- us. It is a familiar tale. If it is on line you have to be more | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
careful. But you can buy at the last minute on the high street. And big | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
discounts of up to 40%. We are used to them coming after Christmas but | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
now they want more in the doors before Christmas. British Retail | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
Consortium says we spend 1% more over the year. That is important. | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
And on line sales were up and high street sales were down but it really | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
was a story of trying to shop for a bargain right before Christmas to | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
try to get people through the doors. I think this year could be a | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
difficult one because inflation will start to filter through and prices, | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
we believe, will start rising. You are always a bearer of bad news. But | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
what about Morrison's! OK. Thank you. | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
What began as a disagreement over staffing on modern trains has | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
escalated into the worst disruption to British railways in more | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
As another strike by train drivers gets under way this morning, | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
the ten-month Southern Rail dispute shows no sign of coming to an end. | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
We will be speaking to the company in a moment, but first let's get | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
the views of some of the passengers who will be affected. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
Joining us from Horsham train station now is Angie Doll, | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Southern's Passenger Services Director. | :11:09. | :11:09. | |
Thank you very much for coming on this morning. We have heard from | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
some of your passengers already this morning calling the situation a | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
nightmare. What is your answer to that and people who are sick of this | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
disruption? We are deeply sorry we cannot provide a service today. We | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
apologise to our passengers. The union are withdrawing labour today | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
on a dispute that we think is totally unjustified. The action they | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
are taking is totally disproportionate to the changes we | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
are making. We might be struggling to hear it you but we will carry on. | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
The drivers union say you are being inflexible and you are not making | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
any movements or concessions. How ferries that? Well, we have made | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
concessions. The changes we want to make are not revolutionary. The | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
drivers on strike today are doing what we are already doing. Trains | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
already operate with drivers closing the door. Just last week the railway | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
Chief Inspector said this is a safe way to operate on trains. Safety is | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
not the issue. We have been flexible and sat down at the negotiation | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
table and have been prepared to negotiate but we need the unions to | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
be prepared to negotiate a compromise as well with us to reach | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
a solution. The same union came to a negotiation settlement with Scot | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
Rail. Why haven't you succeeded? The dispute has a slight difference. It | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
is slightly more complex than the one here. Our request to the union | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
is your drivers are already doing this. It is not something new. We | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
have also said that where we have had a conductor on the train we will | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
have a separate person on the train who is safety competent going | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
forward. To demonstrate that commitment to that we are treating | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
100 more people than today. This is not about losing jobs. Nobody in | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
this dispute is losing their job or salaries or anything about | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
concessions. In fact they will be better off with salaries for people | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
who have moved on to on board managers. And guaranteed pay passes. | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
This dispute is about union steel and it is about an agreement they | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
must have in order to operate the railway and we feel that what we are | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
doing at the moment is reasonable because we already do it. 30% of | :13:33. | :13:40. | |
trains across the whole of the UK operate like this and it is a | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
perfectly safe way to operate. How long can this realistically go on | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
for? Do you not have a duty of care for your passengers to resolve this | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
as quickly as possible? Absolutely. Every opportunity our door is open | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
to speak to the unions about a way to resolve this issue. We had said | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
to the unions that striking is not the answer. Coming to the table and | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
talking and listening and having an open adult conversation is what will | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
bring this dispute to an end. Thank you for talking to us this morning. | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
Apologies if you were struggling to hear her. Hopefully you could hear | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
some of that at home. She is trying to represent the Southern Rail side | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
of things in this dispute which has been causing real chaos for so many | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
commuters. So many people. Big problems today as well. | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
The main stories this morning: Further misery for commuters | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
as Southern Rail drivers begin their latest walk out. | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Britain can be better off after Brexit, according | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
to Jeremy Corbyn, who also says Labour is not wedded | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :14:43. | :14:55. | |
She has had some foreboding clouds today and here is another. The grey, | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
the grey. Good morning. Yes it is a lovely picture. Today it will turn | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
cloudy. For some of us we have a cold start with cloud breaks. We | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
have a weather front coming from the west. Along the weather front it | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
will turn mild. This morning you can see where we have the breaks. Where | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
we have cloud it is producing showers for south-west England, the | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
Midlands, Kent, East Anglia, northern England, north-east | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Scotland. These will fade through the morning and brighten up. This is | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
a weather front coming in, it is a warm front. It will turn milder as | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
it pushes from the west towards the east through the day. There is the | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
sometime first thing. Here comes the rain with the cloud building. It is | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
eradicating the sunshine. It will brighten up once again and we will | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
see some sunshine to the west. Temperature-wise, 7-10, and it will | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
cool down through the latter part of the afternoon for Northern Ireland, | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
more than expected for the course of the night. Heading through the night | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
it is going to turn increasingly windy. We are looking at severe | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
gales for the north of Scotland. It is going to be windy from north | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Wales, the Midlands, Norfolk, northwards. By the end of the night, | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
for the Pennines, the Southern uplands, we could have 70 mph, which | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
might impact high your levels of the M62, for example, and tomorrow it | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
will be a windy day anyway. Even at lower levels we are looking at gusty | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
winds, Saint areas, north Wales, north Midlands and Norfolk | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
northwards. Tomorrow, across Scotland, sleet or snow at low | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
levels ever. That will come out of the showers at Northern Ireland, | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
northern England and north Wales in the hills. Now, talking of turning | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
cold, as we head on into Thursday, Wednesday into Thursday, you can | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
still see a squeeze of the isobars, so it will be windy in the north, | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
and we have this low pressure area coming from the south-west, that | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
will bring some rain and as it engages with the cold air there is | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
the risk of snow falling. So we could see some snow across some of | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
the hills across the south of England, but even at lower levels we | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
could see some snow crossing even as far east as East Anglia. The jury is | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
out on this one, as you may have noticed, with the rain further | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
north, but equally it might drift further south and we will sees no | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
showers for the north of Scotland. It is going to feel cold -- we will | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
see snow showers. Although the temperatures might be three or four, | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
in the wind it will feel sub zero, so another day for wrapping up | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
warmly. And as we head towards the latter part of the week, the longest | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
north or north-westerly, it is turning cold with some further | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
wintry showers in the forecast. I am going to leave it at that and get | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
rid of this frog. I wanted to ask you if you can, my favourite word of | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
the day is thunder snow. It is the same as thunder in the rain shower | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
but the air is cold enough for the shower to fall as a snow shower and | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
with thunder and lightning it is thunder snow. I cannot believe you | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
asked her another question. I know. I know. I thought the answer was | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
going to be yes. I know how you feel. Live throat clearing. Thank | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
you. I am sure she will be fine once she has had a couple of tea. | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
Wolf whistles, beeping car horns and concerns over safety - | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
just some of the things women say they worry about when they go out | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
According to research from England Athletics, | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
more than a third of women have been subjected to some form of harassment | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
while running on their own, as Holly Hamilton reports. | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
It's quickly become one of the UK's most popular sports with the number | :19:01. | :19:21. | |
of people in England increasing more than 70% in the past 10 years. | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
But if you're a woman it's not just cold weather that can be more | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
With a show of hands, how many people feel they have been | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
It's people trying to make fun, have a joke and stuff, | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
so it hasn't been harassment, but you could take it that way | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
and could feel a bit intimidated by it. | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
Research from England Athletics has revealed that more than a third | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
of British women have been harassed in some way while running alone. | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
More than 60% said they feel anxious and nearly half of those asked said | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
that was due to personal safety concerns. | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
I got shouted at by a couple of men as I was running around, | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
and whistled at, that was quite intimidating, yeah. | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
I was running through a village I know and a group of lads started | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
But I kept running and thinking, you won't beat me, crack on. | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
You do get the odd car that pips its horn as we go past. | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
Nothing else better to do than pip their horn and wolfwhistle. | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
But British women are fit for it, with most insisting it wouldn't put | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Running in a group is a lot better than if you're running on your own. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
When you're in a group it's the support and everything that | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
you go through with everybody around you, so it doesn't feel | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
as intimidating as if you're running on your own. | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
These runners say it's about safety in numbers, | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
so all that's left to worry about is keeping up. | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
We have had so many comments about that. It isn't just women who have | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
trouble. Lots of men have the same thing. Nick says, I have been | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
punched by the Imperial War Museum and verbally abused as well. | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
Joining us now in the studio now are Jenny O'Brien | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
from England Athletics and Sam Mollaghan who is a runner. | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
Also part of This Girl Campaign - fantastic. I haven't experienced any | :21:26. | :21:38. | |
problems or any verbal abuse. That is because I always run in a group | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
setting. It isn't something I can talk about. Is it because you want | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
to run in a group setting? Do you feel safer? There are so many | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
benefits of running in a group. Great friendships have been forged | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
from running groups. I think it is the motivation and the | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
encouragement. If I didn't run with other people I might find it easy to | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
give up. That is why I run in a group setting. We have had lots of | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
people saying they have experienced the sort of stuff we are talking | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
about, cars beeping, people running alongside, shouting things as well, | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
how big an issue is it? We asked 2000 of our ladies past of this | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
campaign, they found 60% had anxiety around running on Rhett -- running | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
of their own. It could be just a look, if someone has low confidence | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
and they are going out for the first time and somebody toots their horn, | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
it cannot am off and mean they don't continue going up. That is why we | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
have these groups, so we have a safe and friendly environment to get out | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
and enjoy running. You talk about safety, lots of people talking about | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
that, specially at night, so your recommendation is to run with a | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
group and not on your own? Yes, as a group you are more visible. We have | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
high visibility vests we recommend people wear. Running with a group | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
means you are going on a pathway that is already risk assessed. The | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
safety elements are there. You have a trained and qualified leader | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
taking you out. You know that it is a safe environment. Some people say | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
they don't really mind running on their own even at night with the | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
headphones on and they see those beeps and comments as gentle | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
encouragement and they laugh it off and get on with it. I suppose it | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
depends on the individual as well. It is a real individual thing. I | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
suppose I am a little thick-skinned. I am quite proud of myself or giving | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
it a go. I am lucky that I would be able to brush it aside and keep | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
going. I find running quite hard. I would find it more motivating to | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
keep going. I would say, come and join us. Don't comment on what we | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
are doing. Come and find your group. Don't you think it is a shame that | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
we live in the 21st century and people are being put off or scared - | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
going for a run isn't a big deal, and people shouldn't be put off by | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
this behaviour? It is a shame. One of the messages is, if you are | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
beating a horn making a comment, maybe you think it is a laugh and | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
you don't realise the impact it has on the individual, and the message | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
we want to put out is, think about that person. We want to integrate | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
people to be healthy and happy and enjoy running and that behaviour | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
doesn't help anyone. The number of people - what is encouraging is the | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
number of people doing it. One woman says, I loved a good start to the | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
day. My co-workers have in the past expressed concern about my safety | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
when I run on my own. I always change my husband sometimes. I have | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
my iPhone on. I put my mind at ease. My safety is something I think about | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
each time. That is the key, be aware. Absolutely, be mindful. If | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
you are walking, if you are on your own, make sure you are on a well lit | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
path, tell someone where you are going, straightforward tips. We know | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
how many people are running, 7.1 million people were running last | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
year, so it is the second most popular sport in the UK and we want | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
to make sure more people enjoy it. What would you say about your | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
journey, has it changed your life? It has changed my life. Has it? It | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
is a bit of a cliche but I cannot even begin to start with what this | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
journey I have been on has given to me. I started running two years ago | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
as an absolute beginner and then I got involved with This Girl Can, | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
which was just, yes, the response from the campaign about getting | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
women active. It was brilliant, wasn't it? On a personal note it was | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
brilliant for me, I think my confidence and self-esteem has risen | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
from that. And being part of the Run Together Campaign, I can pass it on | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
to others and encourage people to come and reap the benefits. It is | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
such... I feel great when I run. I find it really hard. When I finish I | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
think, I am Superwoman. I know that feeling. Hating going out and | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
eventually... It is like, when will this Finnish? When I have done it, I | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
think, yay! So many comments. Thank you. | :26:45. | :26:44. | |
Still to come this morning: With class sizes on the increase, | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
we'll see how one secondary school copes with 46 children | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :26:53. | :27:01. | |

Drivers belonging to the Aslef union will stop work | :30:40. | :30:41. | |
The dispute, about the role of the guard on trains, | :30:42. | :30:48. | |
has been going on for nearly ten months. | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
Just 16 trains will run today instead of the nearly 2,500 | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
Every day, our door is open to talk to the union to resolve this issue. | :30:54. | :31:11. | |
Striking is not the answer. Coming and sitting around the table and | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
talking and listening in and having an adult conversation is what will | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
bring this dispute to an end. Jeremy Corbyn is to outline Labour's | :31:20. | :31:22. | |
approach to Brexit in a speech later today, saying for the first time | :31:23. | :31:25. | |
that he is not "wedded" to the principle of free movement | :31:26. | :31:28. | |
of people across the EU. Mr Corbyn's critics have previously | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
accused him of failing to heed the concerns of traditional | :31:32. | :31:34. | |
Labour voters who opted He'll say that Labour will demand | :31:35. | :31:36. | |

closed a stretch of the M1 motorway after a body was found in the road | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
in the early hours of the morning. The northbound carriageway | :32:09. | :32:13. | |
between junctions 16 and 17, near Northampton and Rugby, has been | :32:14. | :32:15. | |
shut following the discovery and is expected to remain | :32:16. | :32:18. | |

the squirrels have stolen more The owners have tried closing | :33:20. | :33:23. | |
the door to stop them from getting in, but the rodents manage | :33:24. | :33:27. | |
to sneak in anyway. I wonder if that squirrel drinks his | :33:28. | :33:51. | |
tea. You have drunk tea through chocolate bars. I don't know how we | :33:52. | :33:57. | |

chocolate bars. Can we do it live on Breakfast? It would be very | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
unappealing. Let us talk about massive World Cups. They have taken | :34:25. | :34:31. | |
it literally when we said we would talk about a big World Cup. Not | :34:32. | :34:36. | |

Gianni has a big plant to expand the amount of teams to 48. -- Infantino | :34:45. | :34:50. | |
has a plan to. There has been criticism of whether that would | :34:51. | :34:58. | |
dilute the skilled. I am in. Me to. Look at the Euros. Look at Iceland. | :34:59. | :35:08. | |
I question the reasons behind it. It is already massive and goes on for a | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
long time with many teams involved. To expand it further is certainly | :35:13. | :35:21. | |
money at the bottom of it somewhere. According to Infantino that is not | :35:22. | :35:22. | |
the case. 521 million extra. It looks as though we'll be | :35:23. | :35:33. | |
seeing more teams involved Fifa are expected to agree plans | :35:34. | :35:36. | |
later to expand the finals from 32 teams to 48 teams starting | :35:37. | :35:41. | |
from the 2026 World Cup. There'd be 16 groups of three, | :35:42. | :35:44. | |
and then a straight knock-out stage. Critics say it will dilute | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
the quality of the football but one The Euros have shown that Ireland, | :35:48. | :35:50. | |
the Welsh, these are countries that Now the world of football | :35:51. | :35:59. | |
knows the techniques. The entertainment will be | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
there for sure anyway. Claudio Ranieri has won FIFA's first | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
Coach of the Year award. The Leicester City manager | :36:09. | :36:11. | |
was in Zurich to pick up the title, recognition of his achievement | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
in leading the 5000:1 shots to the Premier League | :36:16. | :36:17. | |
title last season. I think what happened last season | :36:18. | :36:23. | |
in England was amazing, The god of football said | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
Leicester must win. And who else but Cristiano Ronaldo | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
was player of the year. He added the Fifa trophy | :36:30. | :36:43. | |
to the Ballon D'or award he picked up last month, after a season | :36:44. | :36:46. | |
in which he captained Portugal to the European Championship and won | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
the Champions League The FA Cup holders, | :36:50. | :36:51. | |
Manchester United, have been drawn to play Wigan Athletic | :36:52. | :36:59. | |

is all about. Wycombe Wanderers, from League Two, | :37:02. | :37:03. | |
see Tottenham Hotspur pulled out of the hat They quite like the idea | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
of a trip to White Hart Lane. You can see the full draw | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
on the BBC Sport website. Leeds United made it through last | :37:11. | :37:23. | |
night, though they were given a scare by League Two Cambridge | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
United, who went ahead But Alex Mowatt scored | :37:27. | :37:28. | |
the winner for Leeds. They'll go to either non-league | :37:29. | :37:31. | |

differ from any other sport or physical activity in that you use | :38:42. | :38:52. | |
only the abilities of the body? You might use a bat. You will not use | :38:53. | :38:57. | |
one to get over a wall, will you? It is interesting to see what athletes | :38:58. | :39:03. | |
can do and the strength that they have declined and run and jump. It | :39:04. | :39:10. | |

Anyone who has ever tried to keep just a couple of teenagers in line | :39:25. | :39:27. | |
will probably be in awe of secondary school teachers who can control | :39:28. | :39:31. | |
But imagine being the sole adult trying to keep order among | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
That's the reality facing maths teachers at one school, | :39:36. | :39:38. | |
as research by BBC Yorkshire has found that the number of children | :39:39. | :39:41. | |
in England being taught in classes of 36 or more has almost trebled | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
This boy is 13 and goes to a high school in West Yorkshire. When he | :39:46. | :39:59. | |
started his Year 9 maths lessons, he noticed something different about | :40:00. | :40:04. | |
the classroom. It looked more like a university lecture theatre with one | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
teacher and 46 children. It was quite difficult because there are so | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
many people around you and you are distracted to talk to them and are | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
not focusing as much on the lesson. Everyone agrees it is too much in | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
one class. I am a maths teacher myself and I find it difficult. I | :40:22. | :40:26. | |
understand they are good teachers but they would learn more if they | :40:27. | :40:29. | |
were in a smaller class. Keeping control of them is more difficult. | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
There is only one adult in the class with them and it is difficult to | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
make sure they are all safe. The head teacher said the move was | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
prompted by changes to the maths exam and difficulties recruiting | :40:44. | :40:47. | |
specialist maths teachers. It is a pilot scheme and the school says | :40:48. | :40:52. | |
results so far are good. There is no legal limit to class sizes in | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
secondary schools except in certain practical subjects. The government | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
says school funding is at its highest ever level on record. BBC | :41:02. | :41:03. | |
News. Joining us now are David Spendlove, | :41:04. | :41:03. | |
who is an education researcher, and Helen Vickers, who is a mother | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
of five children who is concerned Where do you live? Halifax. What | :41:09. | :41:20. | |
concerns do you have about your children and the classes they are | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
in? The main concern is that currently education is in crisis | :41:26. | :41:28. | |
anyway but over the next four years we will see even further cuts to | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
spending and education. We are already, as you just saw, in that | :41:34. | :41:38. | |
high school not far from me, 45 children in a class. That is not | :41:39. | :41:43. | |
acceptable. 60,000 children in the country today have a class size of | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
over 36. If you have such a large class size it will put more pressure | :41:49. | :41:52. | |
on the teacher. With more cuts they will be less availability. And | :41:53. | :41:58. | |
children with special needs will also suffer. That is of concern to | :41:59. | :42:02. | |
me because I have a daughter with dyslexia who I have already | :42:03. | :42:08. | |
experienced great difficulty in the application of the resources needed | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
to help her education. From a personal point of view, you have | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
five children, presumably, between them, they have experienced | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
different class sizes. Have you seen class sizes have an impact on | :42:22. | :42:26. | |
learning? Yes. Because I am in a fortunate position because I have | :42:27. | :42:31. | |
paid for my eldest son to go to private school. So he was in a class | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
size of 15 in his secondary education. And the impact that had | :42:38. | :42:43. | |
upon him as a child and the teacher understanding him as an individual | :42:44. | :42:46. | |
and his need was significant. I remember going to the first actual | :42:47. | :42:52. | |
sort of parents' evening and been reduced to tears because it was the | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
first time a teacher spoke to me and knew my son. -- being. Is it that | :42:58. | :43:04. | |
simple and impact? Be class sizes means a poorer standard of teaching? | :43:05. | :43:12. | |
-- big. Not necessarily. Teachers would say they want a smaller group | :43:13. | :43:15. | |
and so would teachers, parents. The data is mixed. The foundation that | :43:16. | :43:23. | |
do the research and look at the research suggest that it is not and | :43:24. | :43:29. | |
do you get about a figure of 15 where it has an impact. 20-25 will | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
not have the impact you want. Larger class sizes will not necessarily | :43:36. | :43:41. | |
have a detrimental effect. Depends on the child and the needs of the | :43:42. | :43:44. | |
charred. Everything you said is absolutely correct. Does it depend | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
as well on the subject? Are there some more suitable to be taught... | :43:50. | :43:55. | |
Certainly. Maths, for example. Interestingly, there is data to | :43:56. | :44:02. | |
suggest that in asthmatics, there can be problems with large groups. | :44:03. | :44:05. | |
It would be counterintuitive to do it in that style. Every single Matt | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
teacher is shouting at the television this morning. But the | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
reality is that it is about the nature of teaching. -- maths. The | :44:14. | :44:19. | |
nature of the assessment as well. Like you have said, personal | :44:20. | :44:25. | |
relationships. What you often get in these circumstances, and I do not | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
know what is happening in this school, but they may have learning | :44:29. | :44:31. | |
support in addition to a teacher. It would be interesting to know what | :44:32. | :44:35. | |
their reason for doing this is. If it is simply because of a shortage | :44:36. | :44:40. | |
of teachers, which as I mentioned earlier, a global shortage of 5 | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
million teachers, and nationally as well, then if they are doing it for | :44:45. | :44:51. | |
those reasons it may be because they have no choice. If there is a | :44:52. | :44:54. | |
national and global shortage of teachers, I know you have formed a | :44:55. | :44:58. | |
campaign group to make a difference, but how can you make a difference if | :44:59. | :45:01. | |
there is fundamentally not enough people to teach? It is important | :45:02. | :45:07. | |
that we raise parent awareness. That is why I am currently setting up a | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
parent network to raise awareness in parents of actually what is going on | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
inside schools. Many parents find schools intimidating. They do not | :45:17. | :45:23. | |
like to find out they have some idea of what is going on but not all of | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
it. I am hoping this will put pressure on the government to | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
reverse the changes to help the current education crisis because | :45:33. | :45:34. | |
schools really are suffering and are struggling. It is having an impact | :45:35. | :45:37. | |
on school standards and children. It is a subject teachers and parents | :45:38. | :45:48. | |
probably will watch on TV for various reasons today and do get in | :45:49. | :45:52. | |
touch with us if you have something to say. I think there is a lot of | :45:53. | :45:56. | |
cold weather on the way. Good morning. There is a lot of weather | :45:57. | :46:01. | |
on the way with a bit of everything through the course of the week. | :46:02. | :46:07. | |
Today it will turn cloudier and as the cloud and rain came in from the | :46:08. | :46:10. | |
west it will turn milder. First thing there are some breaks in the | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
cloud. It means they will be some sunshine and then the weather front | :46:16. | :46:21. | |
comes from the west with some rain. Eastwood is the cloud will built and | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
as it gets to the east you will find the rain will turn light and | :46:26. | :46:29. | |
drizzly. The likes of Kent will hang on to the sunshine. The weather | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
front affecting Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
introducing splashes of rain and it is the same for south-west England. | :46:38. | :46:42. | |
They will be a fair bit of clout around. The front will extend across | :46:43. | :46:48. | |
South Wales, brightening up with some drizzle longer coast. A dry | :46:49. | :46:52. | |
afternoon for Northern Ireland, variable amounts of clout, bright | :46:53. | :46:56. | |
spells and the same across western Scotland with the wind picking up. | :46:57. | :47:00. | |
Here is the tail end of the weather front producing splashes of rain and | :47:01. | :47:06. | |
the same across central path of England as it continues to drag its | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
way across the east. Overnight the wind will strengthen and become an | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
overnight feature of the weather. We are looking across the west of | :47:16. | :47:20. | |
Scotland with severe gales possible. All areas north of that will notice | :47:21. | :47:28. | |
the wind is going to be gusty and strong. Across the Pennines and | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
southern opulently could have cast of up to 70 mph, which might affect | :47:32. | :47:38. | |
higher routes. It might well lead to some disruption. It will be windy at | :47:39. | :47:43. | |
lower levels as well. There it in mind if you are travelling on a high | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
sided vehicle, that kind of thing. Through the course of tomorrow it | :47:48. | :47:51. | |
will be cold and windy with a lot of dry weather around, a fair bit of | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
sunshine, the lightest wind in the south-east, and in the cold you will | :47:56. | :48:00. | |
notice wintry showers across Scotland will fall as wintry snow at | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
lower-level is, but they are showers, so we won't all see them. | :48:05. | :48:08. | |
They will be a wintry element in the hills of Northern Ireland and | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
elsewhere. Into Thursday it will be windy across the north, as you can | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
tell from the squeezed isobars, then low pressure comes in from the west. | :48:19. | :48:24. | |
This is a pessimistic view on where we think the rain will be but keep | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
your eye on the weather forecast. As the rain engages with the cold air | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
we are likely to see sleet and snow not just on the hills but some could | :48:34. | :48:37. | |
see it at lower levels. We don't think the rain will get this far | :48:38. | :48:41. | |
north but it could, and we could also see some of it falling as snow | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
or suite at lower levels. We expect that to be transient. At the other | :48:46. | :48:51. | |
end of the country we will look at sleet and snow at lower levels and | :48:52. | :48:54. | |
in between some dry and bright conditions. It will feel cold on | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
Thursday with a northerly, a north-westerly wind coming this way, | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
so temperatures of three degrees will feel more like -3 or -4, so it | :49:04. | :49:09. | |
is a day for wrapping up warmly. And as we head on into Thursday night | :49:10. | :49:13. | |
and Friday the wind will move to a straight northerly across the whole | :49:14. | :49:16. | |
of the UK. That is a called direction. It means there will be | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
some lovely crisp and sunny skies to look forward to. The most likely | :49:22. | :49:27. | |
areas for that are in the north and the west, particularly on some | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
areas. As you set at the top,... (INAUDIBLE). | :49:34. | :49:38. | |
Are you still running? Yes. (INAUDIBLE). | :49:39. | :49:47. | |
Lots of women don't want to run because of concerns about safety. | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
About comment a lot of things. Thank you for getting in touch. One woman | :49:53. | :49:58. | |
says, I have been running all my life on my own. I wouldn't know if | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
anyone is talking to me. I run during the day and I will never | :50:04. | :50:09. | |
stop. These are, I have been shouted at and peaked at, I have been spat | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
at, had stones thrown at me from a car by a child and Dan says this | :50:15. | :50:21. | |
isn't a gender issue. I am a 38-year-old male and I have | :50:22. | :50:23. | |
experienced it. Yesterday we were talking about the | :50:24. | :50:29. | |
Golden Globes, today it is the batters. British actors have been | :50:30. | :50:35. | |
nominated at the batters. Hollywood musical La La Land has the latest. | :50:36. | :50:37. | |
Our entertainment correspondent, Lizo Mzimba, is at the Princess Anne | :50:38. | :50:40. | |
Theatre, where the nominations have just been announced. | :50:41. | :50:42. | |
What can you tell us? Good morning. A lot of excitement this morning. I | :50:43. | :50:51. | |
am joined by the film critic James King to discuss the nominations. La | :50:52. | :50:56. | |
La Land is in the lead with 11 nominations. No great surprises. It | :50:57. | :51:01. | |
is impossible to resist. If people go and see La La Land and say, it | :51:02. | :51:07. | |
didn't do much for me, there might be something wrong with you. It has | :51:08. | :51:13. | |
so much charm. It is a modern, contemporary musical. It feels | :51:14. | :51:18. | |
classic as well. Wonderful performances. Uplifting. It sticks | :51:19. | :51:22. | |
with you. I saw this a few months ago and haven't stopped thinking | :51:23. | :51:28. | |
about it. It is about an aspiring actress played by Emma Stone and | :51:29. | :51:33. | |
Ryan Gosling, jazz musician. What do they bring to the movie that is so | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
special? It is such a charming movie. They have worked together | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
before. It is a cliche to talk about chemistry but they have certainly | :51:43. | :51:48. | |
got that. They perform great together. It is out on Friday. | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
People might not have seen it. I think it will charm your socks off. | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
Now, these are the British academy film awards, I, Daniel Blake, it has | :51:58. | :52:03. | |
done well in some of the big categories. Best Supporting Actress | :52:04. | :52:12. | |
nominations, actually, both are so authentic, something impossible not | :52:13. | :52:17. | |
to react to. It is a little of a surprise. There are big Hollywood | :52:18. | :52:23. | |
movies out there. That is about a man struggling to support himself | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
through the state system and all of the 30 has to jump through? Yes, | :52:29. | :52:32. | |
caused headlines, it is a Ken Loach move. He likes to make political | :52:33. | :52:38. | |
statements. An independent film gathering pace, Moonlight, the | :52:39. | :52:43. | |
coming of age story of a boy growing up in Miami. Best Supporting Actress | :52:44. | :52:50. | |
for Naomi Harris? She was 10 years ago a rising star and now she is up | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
for the Best Supporting Actress for the best role yet. She is known as | :52:55. | :53:01. | |
Miss Moneypenny. She is so good. All of the performances are great. It is | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
a really grown-up drama. It is the opposite of the hyperactive | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
blockbusters. Nothing for Tom Hanks in Sully at other pilot landing the | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
plane on the Hudson in New York. It is surprising? We take them for | :53:16. | :53:21. | |
granted. It is another great performance. We have seen many of | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
them before. Thank you very much. We will be here through the morning. | :53:26. | :53:30. | |
The awards take place on the 12th of February at the Royal Albert Hall. | :53:31. | :53:36. | |
Thank you very much. More on that later in the program. | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
The tills were ringing out this Christmas, and we even spent | :53:42. | :53:44. | |
a little more money than last year, according to figures out today | :53:45. | :53:47. | |
This morning Ben is looking at where we spent itm starting out | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
with Morrison's, who've just reported better-than-expected | :53:53. | :53:53. | |
Yes, we will get results from the supermarkets. Tesco's, Sainsbury's, | :53:54. | :53:56. | |
MMS and the owner of Waitrose. In the last hour Morrison's has | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
reported a 2.9% rise in sales. They're the first of | :54:00. | :54:02. | |
the supermarkets to give us an update and this should stand them | :54:03. | :54:05. | |
in good stead to claim a bumper They have been struggling to win | :54:06. | :54:08. | |
back customers. Good morning. It is interesting, | :54:09. | :54:22. | |
2.9%, beating expectations, really beating expectations, they were | :54:23. | :54:26. | |
thought to come in at 1.1%. What does it tell us about what we did | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
over Christmas? This combination of what we did and what Morrison's did. | :54:31. | :54:35. | |
What we did post Brexit, there has been a malaise, it is Christmas, | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
let's enjoy ourselves, so we got back to spending and enjoying | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
ourselves again. Morrison is, what they did well was putting things on | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
stores the customers want, I also strongly focusing on customer | :54:49. | :54:53. | |
service. A turnaround plan at Morrison's. It is interesting to see | :54:54. | :55:00. | |
how we want to spend more money, the last hurrah before, we know things | :55:01. | :55:06. | |
will be more expensive, with inflation, so maybe tighten the belt | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
in the New Year? I think that is fair. The Supreme Court decision is | :55:11. | :55:13. | |
due out on the process of Brexit fairly early this year. I think that | :55:14. | :55:17. | |
will give a strong indication on timescale, what it's going to mean | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
for people in terms of things like inflationary pressures, the exchange | :55:23. | :55:25. | |
rate, difficulties are very real at the moment. I think there is pain to | :55:26. | :55:29. | |
come down the line but Christmas was a last hurrah. Let's talk about | :55:30. | :55:35. | |
Morrison's. Midway through a turnaround plan. Certainly coming to | :55:36. | :55:38. | |
the end of it. They have done well here. If you delve into the figures | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
it shows we bought fewer items, putting less in the basket, but | :55:43. | :55:47. | |
spending more. We have always talked about supermarkets making stuff | :55:48. | :55:52. | |
cheaper and cheaper. In this case it isn't necessarily what happened. | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
They are doing it a little bit, 400 lines are on special discount, so | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
they are doing that to hold off the pressure for the discount retailers | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
like Lidl and Aldi, and they have the best range, people are splashing | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
out on a luxury items. Conscious about food waste. Less items in the | :56:12. | :56:15. | |
basket. People are sporting out on lotteries. What does it mean for how | :56:16. | :56:20. | |
we shop? Retailers are having to change. There was a time when we | :56:21. | :56:23. | |
talked about 24-hour opening. That isn't necessarily what we want. It | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
isn't. It is a smaller amount of items in the basket shopped for more | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
frequently. We saw news yesterday that Tesco was losing 1000 jobs at | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
their distribution plan. That is indicative of the move away from | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
24-hour shopping in larger locations to visiting these stores more | :56:43. | :56:43. | |
frequently. Thank you. We'll have more on the major | :56:44. | :56:47. | |
supermarkets in about 10 minutes with figures out showing | :56:48. | :56:50. | |
where we bought our turkeys Time now to get the news, | :56:51. | :56:53. | |
travel and weather where you are. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :56:54. | :56:59. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. More misery for hundreds | :57:00. | :00:25. | |
of thousands of passengers as Southern Rail is hit by a fresh | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
wave of strikes. More than 2,000 trains have been | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
cancelled on some of the rail Good morning, it's | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Tuesday 10th January. Jeremy Corbyn sets out his vision | :00:35. | :00:55. | |
for Brexit and for the first time he says he's not "wedded" | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
to the principle of free A last-minute spending spree boosted | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
retail sales this Christmas, with more of us leaving it later | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
to snap up a bargain. We'll get a sales update | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
from supermarket chain Morrisons They have reported their best | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
figures in seven years. In sport, a bigger World Cup, | :01:16. | :01:24. | |
but will it be better? Fifa are set to approve | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
plans to have 48 teams The BAFTA nominations have been | :01:28. | :01:40. | |
announced, La La Land is up for 11 awards. We will talk to Dominic | :01:41. | :01:41. | |
Cooper. A cold start, Sunshine first thing, | :01:42. | :01:55. | |
a band of rain is moving from west to east. Tomorrow will be windy. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
More details in 15 minutes. Another strike is affecting | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
services on Southern rail. Drivers belonging to the Aslef | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
union will stop work The dispute about the role | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
of the guard on trains has been Just 16 trains will run out of 2500. | :02:07. | :02:26. | |
Cooper told the company were keen to bring an end to this dispute. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Every opportunity, our door is open to speak to the unions to find a way | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
to resolve this issue. We have said to them striking is not the answer. | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
Sitting around the table, talking, listening, having an open | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
conversation is what will bring this dispute to an end. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Our South of England Correspondent Duncan Kennedy | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
So many people will be affected, what can they do? They reckon about | :02:50. | :03:04. | |
300,000 travel journeys are affected on these strike days. It affects | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
people in Kent, Sussex, Surrey and bits of Hampshire. Here, between | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
five and 10,000 people would normally be crowding around this | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
concourse. I will show you what it is like today, absolutely deserted, | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
no trains running whatsoever. The station manager looks after 32 | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
stations in this area, he said it is the same across all of them, they | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
are all deserted. There is one difference, compared with before | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
Christmas, they are putting on some coaches, not to London, but to | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Dorking. That is to try to get them some of the way through their | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
journey. About 200 buses have been put on by the rail company to try to | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
take up some of the slack. They realise there will not be 300,000 | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
people who will take these buses, but they say they are trying to do a | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
little bit to help. The story is all about the doors that are opened or | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
not by people like these, these are some of the drivers holding their | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
ticket. They say it is not safe for them, they have a ten carriage | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
coach, to open the doors themselves. People can get their limbs trapped, | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
they cannot always see the doors on the rumoured stations, they should | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
not do it themselves, the doors should be opened by the gods. | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
Southern say the drivers can open them themselves, it is now safe for | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
them to do so, and the guards should be doing other duties. It is not | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
about getting rid of them, they should be helping passengers. On | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
that argument, about who opens or does not open the door, the two | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
sides are as far apart as ever. As one union official said last week, | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
it still applies this week, not only are they not on the same planet, | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
they are not even in the same universe of. No talks planned | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
between either side, so the misery for passengers goes on. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is to outline Labour's approach to Brexit | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
in a speech later today, saying for the first time | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
that he is not "wedded" to the principle of free movement. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
But he will warn that the UK can't afford to lose full access | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Our political correspondent Iain Watson is in Westminster. | :05:24. | :05:34. | |
Many people will be waiting to see exactly what he has to say. Yes, he | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
has said time and again that Theresa May requires more scrutiny over her | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
plans for Brexit, but even some of his own MPs ask him what his plan | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
is. They want him to address the issue of immigration and some of the | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
concerns of Labour voters who voted to leave in the referendum. He is | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
speaking in Peterborough today, 60% of voters decided they want to leave | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
there. There is a change of tone from Jeremy Corbyn, he says Labour | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
is not wedded to freedom of movement. But in some ways he is | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
prepared to cohabit with freedom of movement, because he says that there | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
is an important economic decision to be made, and if access to the single | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
market is at risk by putting restrictions on the free movement of | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Labour, it looks as though he will come down in favour of getting | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
access to European markets. But he says he has policies that will | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
reduce EU migration, they are existing policies, but they are | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
items to stop unscrupulous employers bringing in cheap Labour to undercut | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
workers who are here and to reinstitute something which the last | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Labour Government did, riding funds to those areas which are feeling the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
greatest impact from immigration. The Conservatives say Labour is too | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
divided to bring about a successful Brexit. Jeremy Corbyn says that | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
there are some benefits to Brexit, especially a future Labour | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Government could intervene to help British industry, something that is | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
currently prevented by EU rules, but the Liberal Democrats say it proves | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
that German Corbyn has never fully committed to being in the EU in the | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
first place, that is why his heart was not in the referendum campaign. | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
You will be able to hear and see that speech from Jeremy Corbyn on | :07:27. | :07:27. | |
the BBC later. A 15-year-old girl has been | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
arrested after the death Police found the younger child | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
with life-threatening injuries in the Woodthorpe area | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
of the city yesterday afternoon. She was taken to hospital but died a | :07:36. | :07:48. | |
short time later. The teenager is being questioned by officers. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Police in Northamptonshire have closed a stretch of the M1 motorway | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
after a body was found in the road in the early hours of the morning. | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
The northbound carriageway between junctions 16 and 17, | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
near Northampton and Rugby, has been shut following | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
the discovery and is expected to remain closed for most of today. | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
We've just had an update on how the supermarket chain Morrisons | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
The start of a busy week for the retailers, we will get an update on | :08:12. | :08:26. | |
how they did over the Christmas period. It is when they make most of | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
their money. Morrison's report a 2.9% rise in sales over Christmas. | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
That is the strongest performance in seven years for them. It is also a | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
big-time for the retailers, we will get Tesco, Marks Spencer, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Sainsbury this week, and Waitrose. All of them reporting over the | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
course of the week, telling us what we bought and how we bought it. It | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
looks set to be a good Christmas for them. Figures from the British | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
Retail Consortium say we spent half ?1 billion more than we did at the | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
same time last year, last Christmas was not particularly strong for | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
them, but also this time we have splashed out a bit before what we | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
think could be a tough year in terms of inflation and prices going up. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
There is a warning that the prices we pay in the shops could start | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
rising, because of a fall in the value of the pound. That makes | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
things we buy overseas more expensive. For the first time in a | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
long time we could see food prices going up. We have talked about price | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
was bringing prices down, but they could start rising this year. | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
The British and Irish Governments say they're going to work | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
to try to find a solution to the most-serious political crisis | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
Yesterday, the Deputy First minister, Sinn Fein's Martin | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
It came after weeks of tension between his party and their partners | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
in the power-sharing Government, the Democratic Unionists. | :09:49. | :10:05. | |
Northern Ireland has an uncertain future, the power-sharing agreement | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
has lasted for almost ten years, but they have often disagreed. The | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
latest disagreement was over a green energy scheme which went wrong. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
Overly generous subsidies were paid to businesses who switched to | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
environmentally friendly fuels. Pool one ?500 million over budget. Sinn | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Fein wanted the First Minister, Arlene Foster, to temporarily stand | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
down for an investigation, but she refused. Yesterday the Deputy First | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Minister Martin McGuinness announced he was quitting. Because they have a | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
joint office, that decision effectively puts Arlene Foster out | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
of her job as well. In a video on social media, she said Sinn Fein had | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
been selfish. At a time when we are dealing with Brexit, needing to | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
create more jobs and invest in our health and education system, | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
Northern Ireland needs stability. But because of their selfish | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
actions, we now have instability. Martin McGuinness used to be an IRA | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
commander. Arlene Foster survived an IRA bombing of her school bus. | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
Demolition should in Government. Going to be easy, but you thought it | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
would down so quickly. The last Stormont semi-election was eight | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
months ago. Now a fresh poll is looking likely. | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
A humanitarian crisis, unprecedented demand | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
Those are just some of the contrasting headlines | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
On Breakfast yesterday, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
admitted there was a serious situation in a number of hospitals. | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
In 2000 the then-Labour Government set a target that every patient | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
should be seen within four hours, a goal that hasn't been | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Since that target was announced, there are nine million more visits | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
to A and the Government claims 27th December 2016 was the busiest | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
Mr Hunt told Parliament 30% of people visiting emergency | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
He also cast doubt on the future of the four-hour | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
If we are going to protect the standard, it is a promise to sort | :12:21. | :12:35. | |
out or urgent problems within four hours, but not all health problems, | :12:36. | :12:36. | |
however minor. Chris Hopson, the chief | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
executive of NHS Providers, was quoted by Mr Hunt | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
on Breakfast yesterday. He agrees with the Health Secretary | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
that there is not a humanitarian He joins us from our | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
London newsroom. The humanitarian crisis came from | :12:48. | :12:58. | |
the British Red Cross, what would you say is going on? We know a | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
number of things. There is record demand coming into A departments. | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
We know that many hospitals are struggling to cope with that extra | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
demand. But thanks to the sterling efforts of over 1.2 million NHS | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
staff, most are able to just about cope with that demand. On the one | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
hand, it is not just normal winter pressures, and that is an under | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
exaggeration. But humanitarian crisis and the NHS in meltdown is an | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
over exaggeration. We owe it to the staff and patients to try to avoid | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
any hyperbole. On the one hand, let's be clear, we are really | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
struggling to cope with this demand, but we are not in meltdown. Let's | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
nail down a few things, what about the impact on patients from those | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
trusts which you have mentioned that just about coping? Is it long waits | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
on colleagues? We know there is a standard whereby the NHS would like | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
to see and aims to see 95% of patients within four hours. We know | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
that that performance measure was running at about 75% at the moment, | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
so we have got a large number of people who are having to wait very | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
long times. What we also know, and this is where we are nervous, is | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
there are some places where we are having patients having to wait more | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
than 12 hours, and where they are having to wait on trolleys. In those | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
circumstances, the risk to them considerably escalate. There are a | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
very small number of trusts who are seeing those kind of weight and | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
where the risk to patient safety is significantly elevated. Really to be | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
careful, it looks like we are dancing on the head of a pin and | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
playing semantics, but if you cut some of the media coverage, you get | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
the sense that anybody who went into A was a huge risk. Equally, it is | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
important not to underplay what is going on, the NHS is under very | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
significant pressure. It is not just normal winter pressures. Lots of | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
detail that you gave. You are talking about patients waiting for | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
more than 12 hours. If that is your mother or child and you said that | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
the risk is seriously elevated, that is extremely worrying. | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
Yes, it is extremely worrying and that's why everybody in the NHS will | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
do everything to avoid that and why by and large if you look at the vast | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
majority of trusts, that's not happening, but we do know there are | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
a very small number of trusts where for short periods of time that is | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
happening and that is extremely concerning. But again, it is a | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
function of the fact that we have got record numbers of people coming | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
into A, equally though to be fair to NHS staff and we need to | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
recognise their contribution, we are treating record numbers of patients | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
within the four hour standards. So it is, we just need to be careful | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
about how we calibrate what we say here. OK, also. Very concerning, | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
what do you think needs to be done at that high end, at the end we have | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
been talking about and I understand what you're saying about other parts | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
of the NHS. What needs to be done to stop patients being put in | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
potentially dangerous situations? Well, so what happens is that | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
because we have real-time information in each hospital, if a | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
hospital starts to see the number of trolley waits escalating or the | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
number of 12 hour waits escalating then clearly there will be a whole | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
series of management actions are taken where everybody absolutely | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
rallies round and ensures that those then get dealt with. So what you | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
tend to see happening is again, I want to stress it, a very small | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
number of hospitals, you do see for a short to medium length of time you | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
see a number of trolley waits and a number of 12 hour waits growing. | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
Management moves very, very quickly. That then gets dissipated and sorted | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
out, but then there is a danger that as for example, what we see is a | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
really good example is what we tend to see on a Monday morning, as | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
people as the weekend is over, people then start to come into A | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
on a Monday and what you tend to see in some of those places again the | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
numbers start to rise again, but again, what I wanted to reassure | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
your viewers is that, every single member of the NHS staff, who are | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
working absolutely as hard as they can, will do all they can to manage | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
this risk and as I said what is important to realise is that that | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
very, very highly elevated risk is actually, is confined to a small | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
number of hospitals and although the NHS is under huge pressure at the | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
moment by and large, we are just about keeping our head above water, | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
but it really is in many places just about. Which hospitals? I don't have | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
the absolute. It changes from day-to-day, but it is a very small | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
number. OK, briefly Jeremy Hunt was talking yesterday, wasn't he, in the | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
House of Commons about this four hours which this standard and saying | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
to protect the four hour standard we need to be clear it is a promise to | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
sort out all urgent health problems within four hours. Is that | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
acceptable that that needs to be changed that standard? Well, I think | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
what Jeremy Hunt has pointed to and I think he deserves credit for it is | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
the fact that we have now reached the point where the NHS simply can't | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
do everything that it is being asked to do on the money available and we | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
need a proper national debate about what the NHS, what service the NHS | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
is going to provide and it seems to me not an unreasonable question to | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
ask is are we given, that we have got nine million extra people coming | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
into A compared to six or seven or eight years ago, can we provide that | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
four hour standard for absolutely every single patient? I think it is | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
a legitimate question to ask, but it really hits that underlying point if | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
you look at the demand for health and social care services in this | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
country, it is rising very, very rapidly and we need a debate as a | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
nation about either we spend more on our health and care services, in | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
which case we can preserve everything that we've got and | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
hopefully improve, but to be honest, unless we spend more, then we're | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
going to have to ask questions like that which is can we carry on | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
providing absolutely everything to everybody, given the demand is going | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
to be going up? Chris Hobson, thank you for your time on Breakfast this | :19:21. | :19:21. | |
morning. Thank you. Here's Carol with a look | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
at this morning's weather. As we go through the day, you will | :19:29. | :19:39. | |
notice the cloud will encroach from the west. So for many central and | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
eastern areas, it is a chilly start, but there is some sunshine, but as | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
the weather front comes in from the west, the cloud will build ahead of | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
it. The rain will push eastwards. It will brighten up behind it, and by | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
the time we see the rain in the east, it will be weakening in | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
nature. So turning more drizzly. But even into the afternoon across | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Northern England, the cloud will be building ahead of that cloud. The | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
cloud building too across Eastern Scotland. Just a few showers dotted | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
around the west. But a lot of dry weather by afternoon and for | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
Northern Ireland, you said goodbye to the weather front so drying up | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
nicely, but starting to cool down. For Wales, again, we've got the | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
thicker cloud. Some spots of light rain or drizzle and it is the same | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
into south-west England. But for Cornwall, particularly the further | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
west that you are, it will start to brighten up too. This drizzly rain | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
extends into the Channel Islands and you can see all the cloud around the | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
weather front so it is the far east of England so East Anglia and the | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
South East that hangs on to the sunshine for the longest. Through | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
the evening and overnight, that drizzly rain continues to push away. | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
We will see more showers fade in through the course of the night too, | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
but the most notable feature will be the wind. Touching severe gales, | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
those are the gusts across Northern Scotland with wintry showers, so | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
some atrocious mountain conditions, anywhere from North Wales and the | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
Midlands and the Wash will be windy through the night and through the | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
course of tomorrow. It might well lead to disruption. Across the | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
southern Uplands and the Pennines, we could have gusts up to 70mph. No | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
That could affect the higher level routes of the M62 for example. Take | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
care if you're in a high sided vehicle a light vehicle, a bike, you | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
know the drill. Tomorrow, a fine day for many in the sense, it will be | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
dry and sunniment wintry showers in the north. The lightest winds will | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
be in the South East, but the same areas from North Wales, North | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
Midlands, the Wash, it is going to be a windy day. And it will feel | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
cold as well. By the time we get to Thursday, still windy as you can | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
tell from the isobars across the northern half of the country, but | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
not as windy. Than we've got an area of low pressure scooting in from the | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
south-west, it will be tracking eastwards. Now, this really is | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
giving us a headache as to how far north it is going to go. So | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
depending on that, will depend on where we see some snow because it | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
will engage with the cold air coming down. So what we think at the moment | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
is across some southern counties and it may not be as pessimistic as this | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
is showing, we will see rain, but some of us will see sleet and snow | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
even at lower levels. We don't expect it to last and in the | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
northern end of the country, once again we are looking at further snow | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
showers. So as we go through the day, add in the factor of the wind, | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
the three and four Celsius that you can see will feel sub-zero. So a lot | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
going on with the weather, Dan and Lou. | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
You make me shiver just thinking about it. | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
Parkour is the daredevil pursuit of jumping over walls, | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
buildings and structures, and from today, it will be | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
classed as an official sport by the Government. | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
The new status means it could be promoted within schools, | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
but some have concerns over the safety of thrill seekers. | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
Let's take a look at parkour in action. | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
Eugene Minogue is the CEO of Parkour UK. | :23:06. | :24:13. | |
Lovely to talk to you this morning, Eugene. There are concerns about the | :24:14. | :24:23. | |
safety which we'll get to. What does parkour becoming a sport mean to you | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
and to the sport? Well, it means officially we get the recognition | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
and acknowledgement that parkour is a sport. It has been around for | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
approximately 30 years or so. It has been in the UK for 12 to 15 years | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
now. So it really means that it receives the same status alongside | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
other recognised sports. So will we see our kids learning it in school? | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
It is already been in schools. It is delivered in schools and colleges | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
for over ten years now. We work closely with the Association of | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
Physical Education around how we deliver parkour running into schools | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
safely and appropriately. We saw George there taking part. He is well | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
into his 80s. I suppose it is done by young people, but it is not a | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
sport exclusively for young people? Absolutely. Literally anybody can do | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
it. A lot of people say to me, you know, when can I start parkour? My | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
answer to them is when did you stop? We all do this instinctively as | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
human beings, we move freely, as children and then society and norms | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
around that tell us not to do stuff or tell us to move in places as | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
opposed to spaces. So parkour is just really reminding that you have | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
got an obligation to play as a human being and all we're doing is | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
reintroducing that and getting people to move in a way that we were | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
built to. The brain sometimes tell you maybe I shouldn't jump over | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
those railings because there is a danger and there is a fear factor | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
and that's a big element and people watching this this morning may have | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
legitimate concerns about that. Do you understand those? Of course. | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
With any sport, there are sporting risks. What we do at parkour UK is | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
to better manage those risks through a very skilled, very qualified | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
workforce, through our member organisations that deliver the | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
activities, whether that's to older people and for parkour for mental | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
health, or parkour physical literacy or family parkour sessions or just | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
general parkour sessions and whether it is in schools, universities and | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
hospitals and we manage the risk properly. Eugene, best of luck and | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
congratulations on parkour becoming a sport. | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
Mike Bushell had a go. Did he say we have an obligation to play as a | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
human? Yes. Let's leave you with that short. It is time for the news, | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
travel and weather wherever you are. Plenty more on our website | :26:56. | :30:15. | |
at the usual address. Now though it's back | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
to Dan and Louise. Hello, this is Breakfast | :30:20. | :30:21. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. Another strike is affecting services | :30:22. | :30:31. | |
on Southern rail this morning. Drivers belonging to the Aslef | :30:32. | :30:34. | |
union will stop work Just 16 trains will run today | :30:35. | :30:36. | |
instead of the nearly 2500 The dispute - about the role | :30:37. | :30:42. | |
of the guard on trains - has been going on for | :30:43. | :30:46. | |
nearly ten months. A 15-year-old girl has been | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
arrested after the death Phil Bodma is in York for us and can | :30:50. | :31:04. | |
tell us a little more. What more do you know? Louise, this forensics | :31:05. | :31:09. | |
tent is the centre Of this investigation. A seven-year-old girl | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
has died, a 15-year-old girl is helping police with enquiries | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
following what happened here in the Woodthorpe district of York | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
yesterday at about 4. 4. 30. We know police were called to this address. | :31:24. | :31:28. | |
The girl was taken to hospital but died a short time later. Now, a | :31:29. | :31:34. | |
teenager remains in police custody, is being questioned by officers in | :31:35. | :31:38. | |
connection with this. A spokesman from North Yorkshire Police said | :31:39. | :31:42. | |
they were called at 4. 30 yesterday afternoon and the investigation into | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
the circumstances surrounding the girl's death continues, he said. A | :31:46. | :31:48. | |
tweet last night from the York City tweet last night from the York City | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
East policing team said, a difficult late shift for all York | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
staff with the tragic death of a seven-year-old, thoughts with the | :31:58. | :31:58. | |
family. Those investigations continue. There's quite a lot of | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
media attention here this morning and that police cordon is likely to | :32:03. | :32:08. | |
stay in place for some time whilst the enquiries continue. | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is to outline Labour's approach to Brexit | :32:12. | :32:14. | |
in a speech later today, saying for the first time | :32:15. | :32:16. | |
that he is not "wedded" to the principle of free movement | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
Mr Corbyn's critics have previously accused him of failing to heed | :32:20. | :32:23. | |
the concerns of traditional Labour voters who opted to leave the EU. | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
He'll say that Labour will demand "fair rules and reasonably managed | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
The British and Irish governments say they're going to work | :32:30. | :32:36. | |
to try to find a solution to the most serious political crisis | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
Yesterday, the deputy First minister, Sinn Fein's Martin | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
McGuinness resigned after weeks of tension between the party | :32:45. | :32:48. | |
and its partners in the power-sharing government, | :32:49. | :32:50. | |
Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Page joins us now from Belfast. | :32:51. | :33:01. | |
An expert was saying one voluntary one forced resignation really? Well, | :33:02. | :33:09. | |
that is right. Equatorial Guinea has resigned as Deputy First Minister. | :33:10. | :33:16. | |
-- Martin McGuinness has resigned. The Government Stormont's stopped | :33:17. | :33:18. | |
functioning and the morning papers are painting a bleak picture. To | :33:19. | :33:24. | |
give you an idea, end of the road is one headline and another, into the | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
unknown. So what happens next? Looks like Northern Ireland is facing the | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
prospect of new elections. Having said that, the Northern Ireland | :33:32. | :33:36. | |
secretary James Brokenshire hasn't given up hope of bringing the | :33:37. | :33:42. | |
parties together to talk. If there is an election, the DUP and Sinn | :33:43. | :33:48. | |
Fein may be the largest parties and because the disagreement is so | :33:49. | :33:51. | |
serious, it's unlikely they would want to go back into Government with | :33:52. | :33:55. | |
each other straightaway. We could then be into a long, complex | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
negotiation on all of the issues the parties disagree on. There are | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
differences on everything from same-sex marriage to Brexit and | :34:04. | :34:06. | |
Northern Ireland could be without a devolved Government under those | :34:07. | :34:08. | |
circumstances for quite some time. Thank you very much. | :34:09. | :34:15. | |
Victoria Derbyshire is on at 9:00am this morning on BBC Two. | :34:16. | :34:21. | |
Good morning, Victoria, what are you covering today? | :34:22. | :34:23. | |
As you've been reporting, Nicole Kidman's new film Lion has | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
been nominated for five Baftas, including Kidman herself | :34:27. | :34:29. | |
We have an exclusive interview with her today in which she talks | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
about her own desire to become a mum again aged 49. | :34:35. | :34:37. | |
I would have liked probably two or three more children. | :34:38. | :34:40. | |
Join us after Breakfast, on BBC Two, the BBC News Channel and online. | :34:41. | :34:56. | |
Coming up here on Breakfast this morning. | :34:57. | :35:04. | |
The Worst Witch book series has enchanted children for decades, | :35:05. | :35:07. | |
and it's now being turned into a new TV series. | :35:08. | :35:10. | |
We'll meet one of its stars later in the programme. | :35:11. | :35:12. | |
Peter Davison's parents used to own a sweet shop, | :35:13. | :35:15. | |
so how did he do in an experiment to go without sugar for 15 days? | :35:16. | :35:19. | |
And, the awards season is well under way, and this morning it's | :35:20. | :35:27. | |
We'll take a look at who's been nominated. | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
But first let's get the sport with Kat. | :35:33. | :35:40. | |
News own a bigger, some would say better World Cup? Some would, not | :35:41. | :35:49. | |
you Dan, you are continually cynical about the plans. Questions? Yes, | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
about what the motivation is behind it, whether it's to boost the | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
profile of football in some countries by allowing them to play | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
in the World Cup, get themselves on the world stage or whether it's | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
about the cold, hard cash. We are speaking to one of our | :36:05. | :36:07. | |
correspondents in Zurich later on but yes it looks as though we'll see | :36:08. | :36:12. | |
more teams involved in the World Cup in future as Fifa delegates are | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
expected to vote in favour of an expanded tournament today. The | :36:18. | :36:23. | |
option is for a 48-team World Cup, consisting of 16 groups of three. In | :36:24. | :36:28. | |
each group, the three teams would play each other and then the top two | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
teams from each group would go on to qualify for a last 32 knockout | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
stage. That makeses a total of 80 matches. | :36:39. | :36:46. | |
Live to our correspondent Richard Conway who is in Zurich and is | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
covering this big vote for us later on today. Who is right then, is it | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
all about raising the profile of football across the road or is Dan | :36:55. | :36:58. | |
right to be cynical that it does come down to raising millions of | :36:59. | :37:06. | |
pounds in extra profit for Fifa? Well, I think the answer lies across | :37:07. | :37:11. | |
three different sections; political sport and financial. Now, if you | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
take each three, financially Fifa will raise around a billion dollars | :37:16. | :37:19. | |
or ?800 million in extra revenue from this. They say they'll put that | :37:20. | :37:27. | |
money back into football worldwide. Politically, the elected Fifa | :37:28. | :37:31. | |
President promised an expanded World Cup so he's delivering on that | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
promise and, in sporting terms, well, lots of countries, 211 Fifa | :37:37. | :37:41. | |
members, lots of countries in Africa and Asia are saying it's been 32 | :37:42. | :37:46. | |
countries since 1998, there's European dominance in the tournament | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
at the moment and they want a bigger say, they want to get more of their | :37:51. | :37:53. | |
countries to the party every four years and they see this as their | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
chance so they'll vote in favour of the measures later today. I think | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
the answer lies across the three different areas. | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
What about the fact that there's 80 matches in this new proposed World | :38:06. | :38:10. | |
Cup from 2026, how does that work logistically, are we going to have a | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
giant tournament that rumbles on for months? One of the big issues going | :38:16. | :38:20. | |
into this decision has been the European clubs, the European club | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
association represents 400 of Europe's biggest club sites, | :38:25. | :38:26. | |
providing 80% of the players at World Cups. They are not happy with | :38:27. | :38:31. | |
the proposals. They say there's already too much football being | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
played. One thing Fifa will say today, I've seen one of their | :38:36. | :38:41. | |
reports that's looked into this, they say that because a 48-team | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
tournament, 16 groups of three teams, this will mean it could be | :38:47. | :38:50. | |
played in 32 days and the finalists will play seven games, the same | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
number as played at the moment with 32 teams, so Fifa will dispel the | :38:56. | :39:00. | |
thought of too many games being played. They are trying to see this | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
as perhaps a good solution to grow the game without putting too much | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
more demand on the players who take part. | :39:08. | :39:13. | |
Richard, in an unrelated issue, how cold is it in Zurich there at the | :39:14. | :39:18. | |
moment? Pretty cold! This is Fifa's garden behind me. It's very snowy, | :39:19. | :39:24. | |
about minus two or three. We were outside the awards last night and it | :39:25. | :39:27. | |
was minus five, this is why we do this, coming here today, all the | :39:28. | :39:32. | |
executives are inside, we'll be invited in at some point this | :39:33. | :39:35. | |
morning to get warm and have a cup of tea. Get a hat on! That snow is | :39:36. | :39:47. | |
on its way to us as well this week! Claudio Ranieri's won Fifa coach of | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
the year award. He was in Zurich to pick up the title, recognition of | :39:53. | :39:58. | |
his achievement in leading the 5,000-1 shots to the title last | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
season. I think what happened last season in England was amazing, it | :40:04. | :40:09. | |
was something strange. The God of football said Leicester must win. | :40:10. | :40:11. | |
Only this, only this. And who else but Cristiano Ronaldo | :40:12. | :40:21. | |
was Player of the Year. He added the Fifa trophy | :40:22. | :40:23. | |
to the Ballon D'Or award he picked up last month, | :40:24. | :40:26. | |
after a season in which he captained Portugal to the European | :40:27. | :40:28. | |
Championship and won the Champions League | :40:29. | :40:30. | |
and Club World Cup with Real Madrid. We had the draw for the fourth | :40:31. | :40:33. | |
round of the FA Cup last night. The holders Manchester United | :40:34. | :40:36. | |
will play Wigan Athletic - but here's what the Cup | :40:37. | :40:38. | |
is all about. Wycombe Wanderers, from League two, | :40:39. | :40:40. | |
saw Tottenham Hotspur They quite like the idea | :40:41. | :40:42. | |
of a trip to White Hart Lane. Leeds United have an away tie | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
at either non-league Sutton United or AFC | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
Wimbledon, after beating Cambridge United - | :40:52. | :40:54. | |
although they were given a scare by the League 2 side, | :40:55. | :40:57. | |
who went ahead through Uche Ikpeazu. But Alex Mowatt scored | :40:58. | :41:00. | |
the winner for Leeds. The full draw is on | :41:01. | :41:03. | |
the BBC Sport website. England's former rugby captain | :41:04. | :41:10. | |
Chris Robshaw will miss the whole of the Six Nations | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
with a shoulder injury. The flanker damaged his left | :41:14. | :41:16. | |
shoulder in Harlequins' match with Worcester on New Year's Day | :41:17. | :41:19. | |
and is expected to be out Johanna Konta's preparations | :41:20. | :41:22. | |
for the Australian Open She's through to the quarterfinals | :41:23. | :41:28. | |
of the Sydeny International after a comfortable straight-sets | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
win over Australia's The British number one next | :41:34. | :41:35. | |
faces Daria Kasatkina, who knocked out world number one | :41:36. | :41:41. | |
Angelique Kerber today. Let us hope she has what it takes. | :41:42. | :41:59. | |
She reached the semi-finals last year so she obviously likes it in | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
Melbourne. Hopefully another big year ahead. | :42:04. | :42:05. | |
Kat, thank you very much. January's often the month | :42:06. | :42:08. | |
when we think about eating healthily and giving up things like sweets | :42:09. | :42:11. | |
and processed meat. One group of celebrities have taken | :42:12. | :42:14. | |
it to the next level for a brand The programme sees them | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
swap their unhealthy diets and lifestyles for long gruelling | :42:19. | :42:24. | |
days of farm work and But will cutting out the rubbish | :42:25. | :42:27. | |
prove to be too much for some? Or will it make life | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
sweeter than ever? Woke up this morning with a really, | :42:33. | :42:34. | |
really bad dizzy spell. Really? | :42:35. | :42:41. | |
Yeah, just my head. I was fine lying in bed, | :42:42. | :42:42. | |
and then I sat up and the room With the sugar withdrawal | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
beginning to kick in, I woke up at four o'clock last night | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
with a banging headache. It's like I've got a hangover, | :42:50. | :42:55. | |
and I don't even drink. If I wasn't doing this, | :42:56. | :42:58. | |
I'd be lying down in bed... Wow. | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
..Calling the doctor. Oh Peter! I didn't look entirely | :43:03. | :43:39. | |
happy there. He was part of the programme. He's here now. You didn't | :43:40. | :43:43. | |
look entirely happen pore for certain bits of this programme. No. | :43:44. | :43:47. | |
The idea is, you go to this place and first up they show you the bad | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
stuff you have been eating. That was good of them, big plates of sugar, | :43:52. | :43:57. | |
yes. Were you shocked by what you'd eaten over the year? Yes. It was | :43:58. | :44:04. | |
horrifying. When you consume as much of that, it changes your mind almost | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
instantly about sugar and you see it as this awful thing that's going to | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
rot your teeth and make your insides fat really, that's what it does, | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
just turns to fat. When you went in there, what were you hoping to get | :44:17. | :44:21. | |
out of it? I was not hoping to be sugar free for the rest of my life, | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
I didn't think that was practical but I did want to learn about the | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
fact that sugar is in everything, and just learnt the way to have a | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
slightly healthier diet. Were you shocked by the effects because it | :44:36. | :44:43. | |
was a sudden detox as well - tell us how it affected you? They warned | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
that it would make us slightly irritable. They didn't tell me I'd | :44:48. | :44:57. | |
keel over, but literally, one minute you had the meal where all the sugar | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
was there and they are encouraging us to eat the final meal before the | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
detox then you have nothing. You are making the food, working on the farm | :45:06. | :45:08. | |
and I don't know if that was the reason that the thing happened to | :45:09. | :45:12. | |
me, but certainly you are right, it was the body shock. | :45:13. | :45:19. | |
Let us see the clip. Peter's condition has taken a turn for the | :45:20. | :45:27. | |
worse and the paramedics are called. How long are you doing this for? Two | :45:28. | :45:33. | |
weeks. You are into day two? Yes. OK. What we need to do, we can't | :45:34. | :45:40. | |
determine what exactly is the cause of this, we'll give you a quick | :45:41. | :45:44. | |
check over and make sure there is nothing else. OK. Peter out of | :45:45. | :45:50. | |
everyone has been the most upbeat so this is a real like, what is going | :45:51. | :45:56. | |
on. I'm just hoping it is to do with the detox and not anything more | :45:57. | :45:59. | |
serious, to be honest, because if it is, we probably won't be seeing | :46:00. | :46:01. | |
Peter again. We only laugh because you're OK. Two | :46:02. | :46:15. | |
days in, what's going on? I'm very feeble! The joke was, when I went | :46:16. | :46:21. | |
into it, it was a very interesting experiment to see if I could live | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
with it. I thought I would be very low key, sitting in the background | :46:26. | :46:28. | |
and seeing what would happen. I literally turned into a walking soap | :46:29. | :46:33. | |
opera within two days. But I was determined to come back. What was | :46:34. | :46:39. | |
physically happening? It's a thing called Labyrinth rightists, which | :46:40. | :46:41. | |
they can only detect by eliminating everything else. It's like being | :46:42. | :46:49. | |
very drunk without the pleasure of being drinking anything. The room | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
spins and you can't stand up. In addition to a big diet change you | :46:54. | :47:00. | |
are in there with some people who you will get on with and some will | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
rob you up the wrong way. That because I wanted to do it. I thought | :47:05. | :47:08. | |
it was an interesting thing to do. We knew what we were getting into. | :47:09. | :47:14. | |
Some of us, one or two people didn't think... It was like no one had told | :47:15. | :47:19. | |
them they would have no sugar. And because of the lack of sugar I might | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
have been more irritable than I would normally be. I'm normally a | :47:23. | :47:30. | |
fairly good human! They did a series before. I think it was Rory McGrath | :47:31. | :47:38. | |
who gave up sugar now. Did you lose weight? I did. They did when he is. | :47:39. | :47:44. | |
It wasn't about losing weight. That wasn't important. As Ann Widdecombe | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
said at one point, they make a seat so much food! But it was sugar free, | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
it wasn't about losing weight, but we inevitably did. And doing the | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
physical activity and hard graft. Working hard on the farm, too. And | :47:58. | :48:02. | |
those of us who didn't cheat, even though they had to let me out once | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
to do a private commitment and I was faced with cakes, I didn't have any. | :48:08. | :48:12. | |
But there was cheating going on? I believe there was, but I don't know | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
how much. It was limited, but nevertheless, impressive. LAUGHTER | :48:18. | :48:25. | |
We did all lose weight, yes. But they didn't weigh me until halfway | :48:26. | :48:31. | |
through. Are you now an evangelist about the lifestyle? According to my | :48:32. | :48:36. | |
family I was a food fascist when I came back. I would go to the fridge | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
and my son would take out a yoghurt and I would say, do you know how | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
much sugar is in that! I'm not sugar free, but I now takes the sugar in | :48:46. | :48:49. | |
everything. It's in everything. I was on low-fat yoghurt is four years | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
before that and I looked at how much sugar is in them, it's frightening. | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
So it has changed you. Some of us are addicted to sugar, do you think? | :48:59. | :49:08. | |
It tastes very nice but it has no nutritional value at all. I try to | :49:09. | :49:11. | |
think of it now is an enemy, not a friend. It's a seductive enemy, but | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
it's still an enemy. That's the problem, once you've started having | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
it, you crave it. I do, and I still have moments when I can't resist. | :49:22. | :49:27. | |
That's OK! I'm glad you're OK. It's on ITV at 9pm tonight. We were just | :49:28. | :49:34. | |
about to mention that! We are glad you made it back say. Another | :49:35. | :49:40. | |
reminder, Peter Davison will be in Sugar Free Farm on ITV from 9pm | :49:41. | :49:42. | |
tonight. Here's Carol with a look | :49:43. | :49:44. | |
at this morning's weather. There's a lot to talk about but we | :49:45. | :49:53. | |
can start with a beautiful weather watcher's photograph from Hampshire | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
and another one from Devon. We have some sunshine here, but as we go | :49:58. | :50:00. | |
through the day the cloud will build. Write a bit of sunshine, | :50:01. | :50:06. | |
clouds dotted here and there. That cloud in the north-west, introducing | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
the weather front and some rain. As the rain moves from the west to the | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
east it will start to weaken. By the time it gets to the east later it | :50:14. | :50:16. | |
will be more like drizzle and rain and it will brighten up behind it. | :50:17. | :50:21. | |
The weather front producing the cloud and patchy rain. A lot of | :50:22. | :50:24. | |
clout in eastern Scotland with showers in the far north. One or two | :50:25. | :50:30. | |
showers in the West but we will see some dry weather and sunshine. | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
Relatively clear in Northern Ireland, bright spells will stop | :50:34. | :50:43. | |
into Wales, -- bright spells. Moving into Wales... Spots of rain. Into | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
the West, brightening up, down in Cornwall and Devon. Through the rest | :50:49. | :50:51. | |
of Devon and Somerset, Gloucestershire, the Midlands, a lot | :50:52. | :50:55. | |
of cloud extending to the Channel Islands with spots of rain. East | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
Anglia and the south-east hang on to sunshine for the longest. Through | :51:01. | :51:03. | |
the evening and overnight the most notable feature will be the wind. | :51:04. | :51:08. | |
Looking at gusts of up to severe gale force in north-west Scotland. | :51:09. | :51:15. | |
North of the wash and North Wales, it will be very windy. Some of the | :51:16. | :51:24. | |
higher-level routes could be affected. The M62 will be affected | :51:25. | :51:33. | |
overnight and into tomorrow. Check your local BBC radio station. Wintry | :51:34. | :51:39. | |
forecast for tomorrow particularly in the hills of Scotland. It will be | :51:40. | :51:43. | |
atrocious in the mountains, with some blizzards. Looking at a windy | :51:44. | :51:47. | |
day, and a lot of dry weather, having said that. But by then the | :51:48. | :51:50. | |
cold air will have filtered across the UK. Going into Thursday, windy | :51:51. | :51:56. | |
in the northern half of the country. As you can see from the squeezing | :51:57. | :52:01. | |
isobars. However, we have some weather fronts coming our way from | :52:02. | :52:05. | |
the Southern counties. The forecast for this could change. We think at | :52:06. | :52:09. | |
the moment it will come in through southern England and South Wales. It | :52:10. | :52:13. | |
could go further south or north. But as it clashes with the cold air you | :52:14. | :52:18. | |
will find some of it will turn to sleet and snow. We will see that in | :52:19. | :52:25. | |
some of the modest hills in the south and at low levels. It would be | :52:26. | :52:29. | |
everywhere, but it will not last. At the other end of the country we have | :52:30. | :52:33. | |
some snow. Wintry showers getting down to low levels. With showers, | :52:34. | :52:39. | |
not everyone will see it, but it will be around something drier and | :52:40. | :52:42. | |
brighter. Thursday will be a cold day. Still windy, but not as windy. | :52:43. | :52:48. | |
It will feel subzero. And we are not Out of the Woods on Friday either. | :52:49. | :52:54. | |
Some hefty weather warnings coming our way. Moving on to the Baftas. | :52:55. | :53:00. | |
British stars Naomie Harris and Andrew Garfield have been | :53:01. | :53:02. | |
nominated for best acting awards at the Baftas. | :53:03. | :53:05. | |
Hollywood musical La La Land has the most nominations with 11 nods. | :53:06. | :53:07. | |
Joining us now, is the actor Dominic Cooper and Bafta | :53:08. | :53:15. | |
Thank you for joining us this morning. Dominic Cooper read out the | :53:16. | :53:22. | |
nominations this morning. What have you made of those nominations, first | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
of all to Amanda. I think it's a really exciting year for film. | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
Looking at the film with the most nominations, La La Land, it couldn't | :53:32. | :53:38. | |
be more different from Arrival and Nocturnal Animals with nine | :53:39. | :53:40. | |
nominations each. I'm aware some of the films are yet to come out but | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
today we will shine a bright spotlight on them and hopefully lots | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
of people will see them. We are seeing pictures of La La Land. Not | :53:49. | :53:51. | |
many of us have seen it because it hasn't come out yet, but why is it | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
so special? I think it's a really unique film. Lots of people today | :53:57. | :54:00. | |
have asked me if it's because we've had quite a grim year that people | :54:01. | :54:06. | |
needed a different kind of entertainment. . The performances | :54:07. | :54:13. | |
are amazing. There's a joyfulness about the film. Looking across the | :54:14. | :54:16. | |
nominations the range is extraordinary. You have La La Land. | :54:17. | :54:21. | |
Arrival is a sci-fi film. More harrowing stories in Moonlight and | :54:22. | :54:29. | |
I, Daniel Blake. That's what makes the nominations interesting this | :54:30. | :54:32. | |
year. The critics have been really positive about La La Land. James | :54:33. | :54:37. | |
King said it ticks a lot of boxes. It feels nostalgic but it also has a | :54:38. | :54:42. | |
modern touch. It's hard to explain. It does exactly that. It's difficult | :54:43. | :54:46. | |
when you hear such wonderful things about a film and you go in with | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
expectations so high, but it reaches all those expectations. It's | :54:52. | :54:54. | |
stunning, moving, reminds me of those films when you were young. The | :54:55. | :54:59. | |
performances are gorgeous. They are so skilful. You desperately want to | :55:00. | :55:03. | |
be in it. It makes you thoughtful about your own life, the decisions | :55:04. | :55:08. | |
you've made. It does everything. You can understand why it has 11 | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
nominations and why people are raving about it. It all makes sense. | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
I'm excited for it to come out here and for people to get the | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
opportunity to see it. It really is wonderful. It's why film was | :55:21. | :55:26. | |
created. It's one of those ones. Another completely different genre, | :55:27. | :55:32. | |
I Daniel Blake is done well as well. Fantastic to see it doing so well. | :55:33. | :55:37. | |
It has five nominations including one for director Ken Loach, who got | :55:38. | :55:42. | |
his first Bafta nomination 50 years ago in the television awards. What a | :55:43. | :55:48. | |
career that has been. Haley Squires is also nominated. She appears in | :55:49. | :55:55. | |
the film, her first nomination. We saw the Golden Globes yesterday, La | :55:56. | :55:59. | |
La Land was there and a number of other films did well. Quite a few | :56:00. | :56:03. | |
political statements were made by some actors. Most well-known, Meryl | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
Streep has been on the front cover of lots of newspapers here and in | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
the US. When you see somebody in your profession make statements like | :56:12. | :56:15. | |
that, do you wince or applaud? Is it the right stage? I can't say whether | :56:16. | :56:23. | |
it's the right or the wrong stage, but if somebody is politically aware | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
and speaks eloquently, about her feelings on the state of the world, | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
and she feels a responsibility to do that and people will listen, then | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
it's wonderful. There's a problem when everybody starts to decide to | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
make claims and say how they feel in that environment. It's a very | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
delicate subject. But I somebody like Meryl Streep, with the gravitas | :56:45. | :56:50. | |
she has and the level of knowledge and awareness politically that she | :56:51. | :56:56. | |
has, I certainly don't wince. And more so than ever, we need people | :56:57. | :57:03. | |
with freethinking and clever, intelligent people to make their | :57:04. | :57:06. | |
statements and make people aware of how they feel and how we should be | :57:07. | :57:12. | |
feeling. It's a hard one, and perhaps not the right place to do | :57:13. | :57:16. | |
it, but that's where she chose to do it. I applaud her for being brave | :57:17. | :57:20. | |
enough to do it. She certainly made headlines. On the front pages of | :57:21. | :57:26. | |
lots of newspapers. Amanda, the Baftas has a new diversity | :57:27. | :57:29. | |
initiative at the moment. What's that doing, and what difference | :57:30. | :57:34. | |
could it make? Last month we announced a number of changes. | :57:35. | :57:39. | |
Firstly to our membership criteria. Because we wanted to make membership | :57:40. | :57:43. | |
more accessible to people. In the past you have needed to know Bafta | :57:44. | :57:48. | |
members to become one. You had to be proposed and seconded. We've got rid | :57:49. | :57:55. | |
of that immediately. Also, by 2019, films to be eligible for the British | :57:56. | :57:59. | |
categories in the awards happen to have adhered to at least two of the | :58:00. | :58:06. | |
four BFI diversity standards. That can sound incredibly dry when I say | :58:07. | :58:10. | |
that out loud, but bringing it to life, we spend a lot of time talking | :58:11. | :58:14. | |
to the production community here in the UK, and I was so delighted by | :58:15. | :58:19. | |
the reactionary got leading producers who said it gives them a | :58:20. | :58:24. | |
framework and a model to work to. They are incredibly supportive of | :58:25. | :58:31. | |
the changes we will make. Dominic, how important is it as an actor to | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
have a nomination? To have a nomination for an actor, it's a | :58:37. | :58:41. | |
celebration, ultimately. These events celebrate all the hard work | :58:42. | :58:46. | |
and effort from everyone that goes into making these wonderful pieces | :58:47. | :58:54. | |
of art. For an actor, you feel, I suppose, it's nice that your work | :58:55. | :58:58. | |
has appealed to people and had an impact and effect. And the work you | :58:59. | :59:03. | |
have put in and thought about at such great length has been | :59:04. | :59:08. | |
appreciated. But you also have an extraordinary amount of gratitude to | :59:09. | :59:12. | |
people who have created that, every single aspect of the creation of a | :59:13. | :59:15. | |
film, and there are many people involved in that. Thank you for | :59:16. | :59:17. | |
joining us. The British Academy Film Awards | :59:18. | :59:32. | |
will take place on Sunday, February 12th where we'll find out | :59:33. | :59:38. | |
all the winners. As households struggle to make ends | :59:39. | :59:41. | |
meet, business has boomed But while unlicensed loans may | :59:42. | :59:45. | |
seem like a quick fix, they can destroy lives, | :59:46. | :59:50. | |
as debts spiral due to high interest, and payments are extorted | :59:51. | :59:53. | |
through threats and violence. Tonight, a BBC One documentary sheds | :59:54. | :59:56. | |
the light on the people working The programme's been three | :59:57. | :00:00. | |
years in the making. Inside the pockets, and we have | :00:01. | :00:06. | |
got two wads of cash. It's always double bagged | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
and sealed, and then it's counted One of the most important things | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
is to secure the mobile phones. People will do things | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
like eating their Sim cards, There is a bank bag with ?20 notes | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
and other notes inside. Bearing in mind with this man, | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
there is evidence in the house that he hasn't paid any | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
of his standard bills that are all expected to pay, and he's | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
receiving additional benefits. You wouldn't expect to find | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
multi-thousand pounds chucked away in clothing in the bedroom, | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
or stuffed down Cath Williams from Trading | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
Standards, who features in the film, Hovelly to speak to you. How much of | :00:59. | :01:25. | |
a problem is this? Massive impact on the victims. People have been driven | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
almost to the point of suicide by these persons' greed extorting money | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
from them. Tell us a bit about the threats that | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
people have experienced, what kind of things? We have heard all sorts. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Loan sharks, it's like psychological warfare, they find out what is | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
important to you and then threaten it. A guy in Manchester turned up at | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
school and walked a lady's teenage daughter home. She was watching the | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
daughter stood at the end of the drive with Mr Big. For that lady, | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
that was enough to keep her paying for years, then the explicit, "we'll | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
break your legs", "I have a space in my backyard to bury you", you can | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
imagine how it affects their lives. As we were saying in the | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
introduction, there is more people struggling to make ends meet and | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
sometimes you've got to get money to feed the family or to find money to | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
pay for the things you essentially need to keep life going and you | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
might have to turn to something like this on occasions? Absolutely. The | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
problem is that loan sharks don't have a tabbard on saying they are | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
loan sharks. A lot of the borrowers say they thought they were their | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
friends and it's almost like, I'll lend you ?200 until you get the | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
money to pay me back so you can get your washing machine fixed. People | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
have paid back thousands, all they've been is the victim of a loan | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
shark waiting for the knock on the door and absolutely terrified. You | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
talk about Mr Big but there are all sorts of people engaging in illegal | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
money lending? A massive spectrum, from organised crime groups down to | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
people who maybe lend to 30 people in their work place, a massive | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
spectrum. Is there a problem with that, for example? We do come across | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
that. There's all sorts of things, people at school gates, people in | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
the work place, organised crime, a state-based lending, community-based | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
lending, it looks different from how it imagined I would from when I came | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
into the job. 20% of the people we arrested were female. They are a | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
factor as well. One in five loan sharks are women. Another figure is | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
APR rates, 4.2 million %. You can't pay that back can you? No, and that | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
is the thing. Too many people are out there with people extorting | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
money from them. The amount of the original loan is often irrelevant, | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
it's a hook to get people in their grasp then to make sure they pay. | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
You have 100% conviction rate of people you take to court. Yes. What | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
sort of percentage do you get into court because presumably finding | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
evidence, is it difficult? We have had over 350 successful | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
prosecutions, we have a small team covering the whole of England. We | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
want people to come forward, we don't want them to suffer in | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
silence. There might be somebody going through this and they should | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
get in touch with us. We understand how scary it is to call us, but | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
phone us and have the conversation. We can think about statements later, | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
just phone up and have the conversation. We can take | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
information down in confidence. They need to call Trading Standards then. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
When do they need to know it's a loan shark, it's not just a ?10 | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
lend? Any loan that spirals out of control and where you don't know how | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
much you are paying back, no paper work and any threats with it. Thank | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
you very much. It's a big problem for increasing numbers of people as | :05:09. | :05:09. | |
well. The War on Loan Sharks | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
is on BBC One tonight at 10:45pm. Let's take a last, brief | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
look at the headlines I'm back with the latest | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
from the BBC London It's a story that has been thrilling | :05:18. | :06:54. | |
children since the 1970s - an unsuspecting girl is whisked off | :06:55. | :07:11. | |
to a world of witches and wizards, only to find that despite her best | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
efforts, magic isn't Tomorrow, a new adaptation | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
of The Worst Witch starts on CBBC. We'll be talking to one | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
of its stars in a moment, We're joined now by Clare Higgins, | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
who plays Miss Cackle Here they come, the future of | :07:24. | :08:25. | |
witchcraft. The new term starts in six weeks. And these are our | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
potential new ones... We're joined now by Clare Higgins, | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
who plays Miss Cackle So many will have read this. What | :08:38. | :08:50. | |
surprised me is how many adults over 40 ask if it's coming back. They are | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
so embarrassed but they are 40 or 50, this is cross-generation and the | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
little kids are going to be introduced for the first time. 20, | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
30, 40 and 50-year-olds or even very old people like me are longing to | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
revisit it. Longing. What is the enduring appeal of it then, is it | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
just a well-told story? You saw that little introduction and clip. As | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
soon as you are up that mountain, you are in magic land and magic land | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
is safe, safe and wonderful. The enduring thing is that it's about | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
friendship at the end of the day. It's about everything that we all go | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
through, school, problems, teachers you don't get on with, friends, what | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
is it like making friends, how difficult is it, what do you have in | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
common, these are enduring things but for me the thing that's really | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
beautiful and wonderful is how magical it is and how funny it is. | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
And you fly. I remember sitting on a broomstick in the studio thinking, I | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
can't believe I'm being allowed to do this. What did you do at work | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
today, you know, "well... I sat on a broomstick and I flew! " You can see | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
it's just magic, totally. It's not been on TV for some time, | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
over ten years now, for those who might be coming to it for the first | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
time, what would you say to bring them in, how can you best describe | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
it? Cackle academy mill dread Maude and the rest of the girls feel like | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
family -- Mildred. As soon as you open the door to this party, you | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
identify with it, everyone identified with someone. These are | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
people we recognise instinctively and we are drawn into their world, | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
where there are specific rules, what is magic, what are the rules of | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
magic and how does it fit into the real world. Sometimes I look around | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
the world and think, we could all do with a bit of this. We could do with | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
a bit of magic. Mildred has a few mishaps, let's have a look at one. | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
Here we go... . Mill you, I think you should | :11:05. | :11:38. | |
concentrate. -- Millie, I think you should concentrate. | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
Argh... Oops. A bit of gunge as well. | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
We are massive fans of Harry Potter in our house and you can't help but | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
watching it with that in mind as well because there are more than a | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
few similarities. There are. These books were written | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
way before, 40 years ago, but I think really the commonalty is the | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
same thing, friendship mixed with magic and anyone who's lived through | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
their own childhood knows what that means. Harry Potter I think really | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
also, that's wonderful as well, it's the same theme. But, you know, this | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
book's written a very, very long time ago and I think Jill wrote | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
about her own childhood. Is it true you gave someone the fright of your | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
life when you were out walking round in your witch's outfit and there was | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
a guy driving? This is hilarious, we filmed on a small country road in a | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
tiny house in Cheshire, in a tiny house called Witch's Cottage. There | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
was a lull in proceedings as there often is, so I wondered off on this | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
country road to have a look around. As I stepped out in my witch's hat | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
and cloak and broomstick, around the corner comes a car. It comes towards | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
me and this man went like that and nodded at me and I know that man | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
went home and said to his wife, I just seen a witch. I want to say to | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
that man if you are watching, stop the divorce, you did see a witch and | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
it was me! Lovely. Thank you so much. | :13:27. | :13:27. | |
Thank you! We asked you who's left you feeling | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
ripped off when it comes to your | :13:38. | :13:41. |
