:00:07. > :00:08.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:09. > :00:11.President Obama says farewell to the American people.

:00:12. > :00:14.In his final speech as President, he warned of threats to democracy

:00:15. > :00:17.from inequality and racism - but after eight years in charge,

:00:18. > :00:24.says he's leaving the United Stated "better and stronger".

:00:25. > :00:52.Good morning, it's Wednesday, the 11th of January.

:00:53. > :00:56.A 15-year-old girl is charged with the murder of 7-year-old

:00:57. > :01:00.A warning from the Royal College of Physicians that lives

:01:01. > :01:02.are being put at risk by NHS underfunding -

:01:03. > :01:06.while experts in health and social care say MPs from all parties need

:01:07. > :01:10.A quarter of workers say money worries are stopping them

:01:11. > :01:12.doing their job properly because of sleepless nights

:01:13. > :01:16.And it's not just affecting those on lower incomes.

:01:17. > :01:19.In sport, it's one step closer to a cup final for Manchester

:01:20. > :01:26.They beat Hull City 2-0 in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final.

:01:27. > :01:29.And this is the incredible trick shot which has caused a sensation

:01:30. > :01:39.It's two minutes long and you really don't want to miss it.

:01:40. > :01:52.We are starting off with a very windy day. Windy for all day for

:01:53. > :02:02.most of us. Storms locally and severe gales for some. Sunshine

:02:03. > :02:03.further south but tomorrow, parts of the South will also have sleet and

:02:04. > :02:06.snow. Barack Obama has delivered his

:02:07. > :02:10.farewell address as US President, telling the American people

:02:11. > :02:12.he believes the country is in a better, stronger place

:02:13. > :02:15.than when he was first elected In an emotional speech in Chicago,

:02:16. > :02:19.he thanked his wife Michelle as well as his family

:02:20. > :02:23.and staff and said he still believed in the ability of people

:02:24. > :02:25.to deliver change. However, he admitted progress

:02:26. > :02:27.had not gone far enough as our US correspondent

:02:28. > :02:41.Laura Trevelyan now reports. Barack Obama returned to Chicago,

:02:42. > :02:46.the place where his political career began, to deliver his long planned

:02:47. > :02:49.farewell address. The president used his platform to underline what he

:02:50. > :02:56.sees as his achievements. If I told you wait years ago that America

:02:57. > :03:01.would reverse a great recession, reboot our auto industry, and

:03:02. > :03:11.unleash the longest stretch of job creation in our history. CHEERING

:03:12. > :03:16.AND APPLAUSE. If I told you we would open up a new chapter with the Cuban

:03:17. > :03:23.people, shutdown Iran's nuclear weapons programme without firing a

:03:24. > :03:29.shot, take out the mastermind of 911, if I had told you we would win

:03:30. > :03:34.marriage equality and secure the right to health insurance for

:03:35. > :03:46.another 20 million of our fellow citizens... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

:03:47. > :03:50.If I told you all that, you might have said our sites were set a

:03:51. > :03:56.little too high. Turning to his theme of what could undermine

:03:57. > :04:01.America's democracy. The American's first black president was frank

:04:02. > :04:05.about race relations. After my election, there was talk of a post-

:04:06. > :04:11.racial America. Subdivision, however well in tenanted, was never

:04:12. > :04:21.realistic. -- intended. Race remains a potent and often divisive force in

:04:22. > :04:24.our society. Paying tribute to his wife Michelle and daughters, the

:04:25. > :04:28.president became emotional. For those who had lined up for hours to

:04:29. > :04:31.hear him speak in person, the effort was worthwhile.

:04:32. > :04:36.Laura, what has the reaction been to the President's speech?

:04:37. > :04:39.There was no direct reference to Donald Trump but there have been

:04:40. > :04:44.some developments involving the President-elect, haven't there?

:04:45. > :04:50.How has the speech gone down? Supporters are still here, having a

:04:51. > :04:55.dream, mulling over it. They are depressed after the election of

:04:56. > :05:00.Donald Trump and felt that Barack Obama chartered a way forward for

:05:01. > :05:03.them -- like having a drink. But they need to defend American

:05:04. > :05:08.democracy against political apathy, fake news, corrosive political

:05:09. > :05:12.culture. This speech was not just aimed at Barack Obama's supporters

:05:13. > :05:15.but all Americans and also the President-elect Donald Trump and the

:05:16. > :05:19.President said very clearly that progress has been made but we must

:05:20. > :05:26.protect our rights as Americans. You mentioned Donald Trump that resident

:05:27. > :05:30.Obama did not mention him by name. The President elect is in the news

:05:31. > :05:38.again or is he would term, the fake news again -- President Obama. US

:05:39. > :05:39.media are reporting that Russian spy agencies have embarrassing

:05:40. > :05:45.information about the President-elect Donald Trump that is

:05:46. > :05:49.personally compromising. US media is reporting this quoting unnamed

:05:50. > :05:53.sources. They are also reporting that US intelligence agencies that

:05:54. > :05:58.done with Mr Trump privately and told them about this allegation is

:05:59. > :06:02.that apparently Russian spy agencies have. Mr Trump has responded in his

:06:03. > :06:05.signature way, on Twitter, he said fake news and it's a political

:06:06. > :06:11.witch-hunt. Remember that Donald Trump is in hot water in Washington

:06:12. > :06:18.for disparaging US Russian agencies that intelligence agencies that

:06:19. > :06:21.Russian officials attempted to affect the outcome of the election.

:06:22. > :06:24.We'll be speaking to US political analyst Eric Ham

:06:25. > :06:31.A 15-year-old girl has been charged with the murder

:06:32. > :06:35.Katie Rough died in hospital on Monday

:06:36. > :06:37.after being found with serious injuries near a playing field

:06:38. > :06:46.The teenager is due to appear before magistrates later this morning.

:06:47. > :06:49.Senior doctors are warning that a shortage of resources may leave

:06:50. > :06:52.the NHS in England unable to cope with this winter's demand.

:06:53. > :06:56.In a letter to Theresa May, the Royal College of Physicians said

:06:57. > :06:58.the quality of patient care is under threat.

:06:59. > :07:00.Charities working with elderly and disabled people

:07:01. > :07:02.have also written to the Prime Minister -

:07:03. > :07:04.calling for a long-term solution to funding for health

:07:05. > :07:11.Here's our Health correspondent Robert Pigott.

:07:12. > :07:14.The Royal College of Physicians said ambulances queueing outside

:07:15. > :07:18.hospitals were visual testament to the crisis in the NHS.

:07:19. > :07:21.The Royal College, which represents 33,000 specialist hospital doctors,

:07:22. > :07:30.said patients based lengthening waits on lists, on trolleys,

:07:31. > :07:37.in accident and emergency departments and at home.

:07:38. > :07:41.It blamed a shortage of qualified staff, stretched too thin lead

:07:42. > :07:46.Our members fear that people's lives are at risk because they can't get

:07:47. > :07:48.round to see the patients that aren't yet in the emergency

:07:49. > :07:54.department or indeed are waiting for results to come back.

:07:55. > :07:57.Members and fellows have been writing in and our council members

:07:58. > :08:00.specifically have said to me this is the worst they have ever seen.

:08:01. > :08:03.Most urgent, said the doctors, is investment in social care

:08:04. > :08:06.to prevent medically fit patients being trapped in hospitals.

:08:07. > :08:08.In their own letter to the Prime Minister,

:08:09. > :08:11.75 charities and individuals working in health and social care said

:08:12. > :08:13.there must be a long-term cross-party solution

:08:14. > :08:15.to what they called the crisis in funding.

:08:16. > :08:29.Led by the charity Independent Age, they said:

:08:30. > :08:32.The Department of Health said it had invested ?10 billion

:08:33. > :08:35.to develop health services and relieve pressure on hospitals.

:08:36. > :08:38.And, since last year, had recruited 3,000 extra nurses

:08:39. > :08:50.Meanwhile, plans to extend access to GPs in England are in "complete

:08:51. > :08:52.disarray" according to the British Medical Association.

:08:53. > :08:55.The comment follows a report by the National Audit Office

:08:56. > :08:57.which urges ministers to reconsider plans to increase

:08:58. > :08:59.weekend and evening access to family doctors in England.

:09:00. > :09:02.It says many GPs are already struggling to provide existing

:09:03. > :09:06.The Department of Health says it's promised additional funding

:09:07. > :09:16.A white supremacist, Dylann Roof, has been sentenced to death

:09:17. > :09:20.for the racist killing of nine black men and women at a church

:09:21. > :09:24.The 22-year-old opened fire during a bible studies class.

:09:25. > :09:27.He rejected a final chance to plead for his life,

:09:28. > :09:34.telling the jury he felt he "had to carry it out".

:09:35. > :09:37.A pedestrian has died in Brighton after being knocked down by a car

:09:38. > :09:43.It happened last night when police say a Vauxhall Astra

:09:44. > :09:45.failed to stop and was pursued by officers.

:09:46. > :09:48.The car hit a person on St James's Street -

:09:49. > :09:51.the force is still trying to trace the driver.

:09:52. > :09:55.A 29-year old British woman has been killed and two others are seriously

:09:56. > :09:57.injured after a light aircraft crashed in Australia.

:09:58. > :10:00.The plane came down on a remote beach in

:10:01. > :10:05.The pilot, a man in his sixties, was taken to hospital in a serious

:10:06. > :10:12.condition and a 13-year-old boy has been treated for minor injuries.

:10:13. > :10:14.For the first time, the Attorney General will set out

:10:15. > :10:17.the legal factors that need to be considered before military action

:10:18. > :10:19.is taken against terror suspects abroad.

:10:20. > :10:23.In a speech, Jeremy Wright QC will say the UK must have the right

:10:24. > :10:25.to use lethal force in self-defence in order

:10:26. > :10:41.Technology. In many ways it makes life easier for us but also easier

:10:42. > :10:45.for those who want to make -- do us harm to stop that is the warning

:10:46. > :10:49.from the government's top legal advice. Spies like those at GCHQ can

:10:50. > :10:54.gather intelligence and worn if an attack is likely. The law all of the

:10:55. > :10:59.UK to use force and self defence if it is attacked but also to prevent

:11:00. > :11:05.an attack before it happens. On that basis, the UK used one of these, and

:11:06. > :11:11.unmanned drone, to kill a British jihadist in Syria in September 20

:11:12. > :11:19.15. Riyadh Khan from Cardiff was the target and the second UK National,

:11:20. > :11:22.also died. They said it was lawful because Khan was involved in a plot

:11:23. > :11:27.to carry out a high-profile attack in the summer. There were demands of

:11:28. > :11:30.the government to clarify the legal basis for carrying out pre-emptive

:11:31. > :11:34.strikes against Islamic State militants. The attorney general,

:11:35. > :11:38.Jeremy Wright QC, will now explain for the first time how such

:11:39. > :11:42.decisions are made. The considerations include how certain

:11:43. > :11:45.it is that an attack will happen, how soon it will be and on what

:11:46. > :11:49.scale. Whether anything else could be done to prevent the attack and

:11:50. > :11:54.whether it is the last clear opportunity to do so. Undoubtedly,

:11:55. > :11:58.the UK government has the technology to carry out effective and deadly

:11:59. > :12:01.strikes that it must justify doing so within the limits of the law. Ben

:12:02. > :12:04.Bland, BBC News. The latest strike by Southern train

:12:05. > :12:07.drivers has entered a second day The walk-out is due to finish

:12:08. > :12:12.at midnight but four further strike Yesterday only 16 of over 2,000

:12:13. > :12:16.scheduled services ran. The dispute which has been

:12:17. > :12:19.going on for nearly ten months This next bit of footage

:12:20. > :12:28.is pretty extraordinary. The pictures come from a camera

:12:29. > :12:31.attached to the neck of a female polar bear and shows two bears

:12:32. > :12:35.breaking through ice sheets The US Geological Survey hopes it'll

:12:36. > :12:42.help researchers better understand how the animals are responding

:12:43. > :12:56.to declining sea ice levels. You can kind of workout what is

:12:57. > :13:05.happening there. Did you never polar bears only come together to make and

:13:06. > :13:12.it? And that's it? Lonely life. Not much you can say about that, is

:13:13. > :13:14.there? Anyway, moving on. Before you speak.

:13:15. > :13:19.Could this be the best trick shot of all time?

:13:20. > :13:25.A bar in Bristol has pulled off an incredible feat involving

:13:26. > :13:28.a golf club, two flights of stairs and ten pool tables.

:13:29. > :13:35.It's around 500ft long, took 11 hours to set up

:13:36. > :13:40.After travelling down the stairs, the ball is perfectly aimed to hit

:13:41. > :13:43.a succession of pool balls that cross between different tables

:13:44. > :13:52.Over a million people have watched the clip online.

:13:53. > :13:55.We will have the man who created it on the programme later

:13:56. > :13:58.on so you will have to wait until then to find out

:13:59. > :14:08.The best news is, we have them and who created it. There is a table set

:14:09. > :14:13.up over there. Which I would like to keep forever. No, I would like to

:14:14. > :14:18.keep it forever. And we have our own trick shot coming up. There is six

:14:19. > :14:23.balls to pot in each pocket and I have had one go, too goes and so

:14:24. > :14:25.far, I have got five out of six. Improvement required, is the answer.

:14:26. > :14:33.Anyway, we are excited about that. It's looking like a pub in the

:14:34. > :14:34.corner. Low-level lighting and a pool table. Very cosy and very nice

:14:35. > :14:48.indeed. Mariana Fellini having a late start,

:14:49. > :14:53.but doing his bit. It is coming to the business and now. They are on a

:14:54. > :14:54.bit of a run, finally. Things coming good for Jose Mourinho.

:14:55. > :14:57.Manchester United are a step closer to the League Cup Final.

:14:58. > :15:00.They beat Hull City 2-0 in the first leg of the semi-final

:15:01. > :15:02.but Wayne Rooney missed the chance to become

:15:03. > :15:08.Fifa president Gianni Infantino has told the BBC he thinks the quality

:15:09. > :15:12.of an expanded World Cup will improve as smaller nations get

:15:13. > :15:16.48 teams will contest the tournament from 2026.

:15:17. > :15:24.He said decision was not financially motivated.

:15:25. > :15:27.Lord Coe, the president of athletics world governing body the IAAF,

:15:28. > :15:30.will be asked to give more evidence to MP's as part of their inquiry

:15:31. > :15:35.It's after a former athlete told a committee he had called

:15:36. > :15:37.and e-mailed Coe to warn him about the scandal.

:15:38. > :15:39.And after almost 150 years of horse-racing,

:15:40. > :15:42.Kempton Park is set to be closed to make way for around

:15:43. > :15:49.It's part of a plan to raise 500 million for British racing over

:15:50. > :16:09.And Jehanabad want to make -- Jehanabad on -- Johanna Konta is

:16:10. > :16:15.playing at the moment in Sydney. We will keep you up-to-date.

:16:16. > :16:19.You are the master! That have a look at the front pages

:16:20. > :16:24.of the papers this morning. The Times, Number 10 blames NHS chief as

:16:25. > :16:29.chaos grows in hospitals. We will have a look at that later today as

:16:30. > :16:33.we speak to a doctor. The picture is of the head of a gallery in

:16:34. > :16:37.Manchester, who is to become the Tate's first female director.

:16:38. > :16:42.The front page of the Telegraph. They talk about Jeremy Corbyn.

:16:43. > :16:47.Labour's migration policy in chaos. He reversed his position on free

:16:48. > :16:51.movement just after saying his party would oppose uncontrolled migration

:16:52. > :16:57.to the UK. Lots of things he said yesterday and the papers going

:16:58. > :17:00.through it. This is a rather lovely photograph. The Daily Telegraph

:17:01. > :17:06.reporter who broke the news, what an incredible thing to do, of Hitler's

:17:07. > :17:12.1939 invasion of Poland. She has died at the age of 105. An amazing

:17:13. > :17:26.picture, an amazing journalist. Inspirational. One more. The Daily

:17:27. > :17:30.Express has a picture of -10 at their main story, snow alert. Army

:17:31. > :17:37.on standby as Met Office worn extreme weather on the way.

:17:38. > :17:44.They love the Arctic blast! There is cold weather on the way.

:17:45. > :17:49.Can I show you this? This is my favourite story. Keeping with the

:17:50. > :17:53.call him. If you go down to Eastbourne to the shopping centre

:17:54. > :17:56.you will find it is still in full Christmas swing because they can't

:17:57. > :18:00.turn off the Christmas lights. The company that has installed them has

:18:01. > :18:06.gone bust. They plugged them into the mains, so if they want to turn

:18:07. > :18:10.off the Christmas lights they have to turn off all of the other lights

:18:11. > :18:13.in a shopping centre as well, so it means basically they are stuck with

:18:14. > :18:20.this Christmas lights unless everyone will shop in the dark.

:18:21. > :18:26.What an extraordinary story! Isn't it bad luck to have the lights on

:18:27. > :18:30.after the 12th? I probably wouldn't want to go down there in!

:18:31. > :18:34.I have Maria Sharapova in a lot of the papers. More accusations that

:18:35. > :18:37.the world of tennis is giving her special treatment. You will remember

:18:38. > :18:44.she was banned for 15 months for taking a banned substance. That ban

:18:45. > :18:48.runs out on the 26th of April, which is midway through the tournament,

:18:49. > :18:53.she has been given a wild card. They say as Belletti doesn't come to the

:18:54. > :18:58.site before April the 26th she can play her first match midway through

:18:59. > :19:01.the tournament. -- as long as she doesn't. So the schedule will be

:19:02. > :19:07.rearranged around her. That never goes down well. No, so a

:19:08. > :19:11.lot of complaints about how she did take a banned substance. She says

:19:12. > :19:15.she didn't know it was banned and she didn't need to do it and she has

:19:16. > :19:22.been banned for drugs cheating for 15 months. But there does seem to be

:19:23. > :19:28.a lot of... The organiser of this tournament has called it a fabulous

:19:29. > :19:34.present and a lot of the high profile sponsors have stood by her

:19:35. > :19:39.during the ban. I've lost my wedding ring on a beach

:19:40. > :19:44.and found it in a puddle, amazingly. Horrorstruck husband found himself

:19:45. > :19:53.facing real-life needle in a haystack. He lost his wedding ring

:19:54. > :19:55.in a barn full of straw and spent two weeks looking for it.

:19:56. > :20:04.And he found it! He used a metal detector. Mine comes

:20:05. > :20:09.off on my issue a lot. You know, when you take it. I think I've lost

:20:10. > :20:12.weight on my fingers for some reason.

:20:13. > :20:18.All of that dancing! That is some vigorous arm action.

:20:19. > :20:23.Quite a sight. This we need to see.

:20:24. > :20:27.There is so much interesting stuff to talk about in the weather.

:20:28. > :20:39.What's going on? For starters it is very windy. The highest gust we have

:20:40. > :20:43.seen overnight is 120 -- 129 mph. Today it is gales we are looking at.

:20:44. > :20:47.A very windy day, which could lead to some travel disruption. You can

:20:48. > :20:51.find out what's happening where you are on your BBC local radio station

:20:52. > :20:57.forced to there are some restrictions in places. We've got

:20:58. > :21:01.some wintry showers and sleet and slow across the moor of Scotland,

:21:02. > :21:06.towards the Central Lowlands. Some of that getting down to low levels.

:21:07. > :21:12.Blizzards in the hills. Hill snow in the Pennines and very windy. Windy

:21:13. > :21:17.across Northern Ireland, and Wales. Also windy in the Midlands and into

:21:18. > :21:21.east Anglia. Further south also windy, especially along the coast,

:21:22. > :21:26.but not as windy as further north. In the far north we have storm force

:21:27. > :21:33.winds. Elsewhere, severe gales or gales, to take extra care. The

:21:34. > :21:36.current drizzle we have will die out and we have sunshine coming through

:21:37. > :21:40.in England and Wales, but we hang onto the wintry showers are ignored.

:21:41. > :21:45.Overnight we get down to lower levels. Some getting to lower levels

:21:46. > :21:50.in northern England and Northern Ireland. Remember those showers. Too

:21:51. > :21:55.much wind for frost, but there will be ice to watch out for. Then we

:21:56. > :21:59.have the next system coming in from the west. This will be causing us a

:22:00. > :22:06.lot of headache, as to the positioning. Also pulling in strong

:22:07. > :22:10.winds from a cold direction, the north and north-west, so straight

:22:11. > :22:14.down from the Arctic. Where the cold air and rain in gauge is where we

:22:15. > :22:19.have snow. Initially tomorrow you can see it coming through Wales, the

:22:20. > :22:23.Moors, towards Salisbury Plains, and towards the south-east. Then

:22:24. > :22:28.eventually in evening it will push through the rest of east Anglia and

:22:29. > :22:33.into Kent. Then clearing into the near continent. Not all of us will

:22:34. > :22:38.necessarily see this. Some of us could have up to two centimetres of

:22:39. > :22:43.snow, some of us locally up to ten centimetres. That's the south. In

:22:44. > :22:46.the north, if we go back in time a little bit, we continue with wintry

:22:47. > :22:52.showers again, sleet and snow, some to lower levels, under and lightning

:22:53. > :22:56.as well. We were talking about thunder and snow yesterday. Entry

:22:57. > :23:00.showers across northern England and Northern Ireland. You will see some

:23:01. > :23:06.of those wintry showers also at lower levels as we mentioned. You

:23:07. > :23:11.will notice tomorrow in the wind it will feel cold. Despite the fact

:23:12. > :23:15.that temperatures are above freezing for most of us it will feel below

:23:16. > :23:19.freezing. So that's what tomorrow is like. You can see the back edge of

:23:20. > :23:23.this low pressure taking the snow with it. We then moved to a

:23:24. > :23:27.northerly wind. A cold direction for us. Still bringing in wintry

:23:28. > :23:33.showers. The other thing you will notice it will be very windy, with

:23:34. > :23:38.gales down the east coast. Any showers are likely to be wintry in

:23:39. > :23:43.nature again. But they are showers, so not all of us will see them. A

:23:44. > :23:46.mixture of rain, sleet and snow, but we have large waves and there is the

:23:47. > :23:51.risk of some minor coastal flooding. Something else to watch out for. A

:23:52. > :23:54.lot going on with the weather in the next couple of days.

:23:55. > :23:59.Thank you for that. Very windy this morning on my way to work.

:24:00. > :24:03.I do if you treat down on the roads as well. And we have some news about

:24:04. > :24:11.homes in Newcastle. 2300 homes without power due to high winds.

:24:12. > :24:13.They won't be able to hear that because we won't have their

:24:14. > :24:17.televisions on. We will keep you up-to-date. Thanks

:24:18. > :24:18.for being with us on this Wednesday morning.

:24:19. > :24:21.More needs to be done to help families living with dementia

:24:22. > :24:25.That's the finding of the first academic study looking at how

:24:26. > :24:27.the condition affects those in the countryside.

:24:28. > :24:30.It's called for more support services and training

:24:31. > :24:33.and help from the local community itself, as John Maguire has

:24:34. > :24:42.The bucolic duty of our rural landscapes and communities often

:24:43. > :24:48.mask some of the challenges of living here. The isolation, the lack

:24:49. > :24:52.of services and the scarcity of support. In the first report of its

:24:53. > :24:56.kind, limit university has studied the impact of dementia in the

:24:57. > :25:01.countryside and what should be done to help. -- Plymouth University.

:25:02. > :25:04.Things like support networks with other families who are going through

:25:05. > :25:09.a similar situation would be enormously helpful. Some of our

:25:10. > :25:13.family said, to help them cope. Perhaps not in the local area,

:25:14. > :25:21.perhaps somebody else upcountry so you don't have that public sort of

:25:22. > :25:24.-- that confidential allergies maintained. It isn't your

:25:25. > :25:30.neighbours. It affects the whole family. We are meeting this farmer

:25:31. > :25:34.and his mother. Her husband Eric had dementia for the last ten years of

:25:35. > :25:39.his life. The old adage is that farmers never retire, they keep

:25:40. > :25:47.going, and he certainly wanted... He still wanted to do what he could,

:25:48. > :25:51.but still had quite an impact on us, particularly from the carer side of

:25:52. > :26:04.it, because you are providing the care, mum. It started about 15 years

:26:05. > :26:14.ago and when Eric was diagnosed at least he went to daycare two days a

:26:15. > :26:18.week and that was a great help. The university report has several key

:26:19. > :26:23.recommendations, among them, where possible, farmers should plan ahead

:26:24. > :26:28.for serious illness. Councils, health and other agencies should

:26:29. > :26:33.co-ordinate to offer support and there should be more dementia

:26:34. > :26:39.awareness training. This memory cafe in the town of Ashburton is run by

:26:40. > :26:42.volunteers from the Rotary club. It offers in relation for patients and

:26:43. > :26:49.respite for carers and, elsewhere, there is a specialist -- specialist

:26:50. > :26:53.help available. Form filling, or farm inspections, just to make sure

:26:54. > :26:57.they aren't missing out financially as well, and we can also offer

:26:58. > :27:01.practical help on arms if they are struggling maybe to do tasks like TB

:27:02. > :27:06.testing. Our volunteers can make sure we can go on the farm and do

:27:07. > :27:10.practical things as well to help in the short term. Ian chairs the rule

:27:11. > :27:16.dementia group. It is simple solutions. Sometimes as a community

:27:17. > :27:22.or culture you go from radical strategies. Strategies went change

:27:23. > :27:26.this world, prime ministers won't, we will in our rural community and

:27:27. > :27:30.we will have to do it ourselves. Dementia can be cruel and

:27:31. > :27:31.devastating, this report says it doesn't have to be suffered in

:27:32. > :27:39.silence. Time now to get the news,

:27:40. > :27:42.travel and weather where you are. I'm back with the latest

:37:40. > :37:50.to bring back his big players As long as you are involved, it is

:37:51. > :37:54.the most important cup, as you can imagine. That is how we see it and

:37:55. > :37:58.so, it is Southampton, for example if you want to talk about intensity,

:37:59. > :38:03.they had a more intense time than we had so there is no advantage for one

:38:04. > :38:03.side. You have to find a way of playing.

:38:04. > :38:06.The Fifa President says expanding the World Cup will improve

:38:07. > :38:11.After a vote yesterday, an extra 16 teams will take part

:38:32. > :38:36.celebration like the World Cup. It makes the world stand still and

:38:37. > :38:40.focus on an event. If we look at how football has developed in the last

:38:41. > :38:44.decade, the last years as well in particular, we can see that the

:38:45. > :38:46.quality of football has become higher and higher all over the

:39:04. > :39:05.for a decision for a number of weeks and that athletes deserve

:39:06. > :39:09.a lot more time to prepare. UCI president Brian Cookson has

:39:25. > :39:27.records of one of his highest profile riders -

:39:28. > :39:40.Sir Bradley Wiggins. It's regrettable, I think, but

:39:41. > :39:47.equally I think over the test of time, we will continue to perform at

:39:48. > :39:51.the highest level in the right way and get people a reason to get

:39:52. > :39:53.behind us and feel proud of our achievements and give them a team

:39:54. > :39:56.they can be proud of and support. Lord Coe, the president of athletics

:39:57. > :39:59.world governing body the IAAF, will be asked to give more evidence

:40:00. > :40:03.to MP's as part of their inquiry Coe told a Select Committee

:40:04. > :40:07.in December 2015 that he was unaware of any specific allegations

:40:08. > :40:10.about the extent of Russian doping but former athlete Dave Bedford told

:40:11. > :40:12.the same committee yesterday, that he'd called and e-mailed Coe

:40:26. > :40:41.either Great Britain or Ireland More and more likely than not I

:40:42. > :40:45.won't be playing for the games in 2020. Not the Olympic Games, I think

:40:46. > :40:49.they are great and I think golf included in the Olympics is

:40:50. > :40:51.fantastic but for me, it's something I don't want to get into and that's

:40:52. > :40:53.a personal choice. After almost 150 years

:40:54. > :40:56.of horse-racing, Kempton Park is set to be closed to make way for around

:40:57. > :40:59.three thousand new homes. Should the proposal go ahead,

:41:00. > :41:01.Kempton's famous King George VI Chase would move to Sandown,

:41:02. > :41:04.located six miles away. Course owner the Jockey Club says

:41:05. > :41:07.the proposal is "for the long-term good of British racing" and is part

:41:08. > :41:28.of plans to raise ?500m to invest And Johanna Konta has just one. Has

:41:33. > :41:35.Barack Obama used his farewell address to set out what he regards

:41:36. > :41:38.as his major achievements during his eight years in office.

:41:39. > :41:41.We will cross over to Washington to assess his legacy in a moment,

:41:42. > :41:44.but first let's take a look at one of the key moments

:41:45. > :42:00.After my election, there was talk of a post- racial America and such a

:42:01. > :42:07.vision, however well intended, was never realistic. Race remains a

:42:08. > :42:14.potent and often divisive force in our society. Now, I have lived long

:42:15. > :42:20.enough to know that race relations are better than they were ten or 20

:42:21. > :42:25.or 30 years ago, no matter what some folks say. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

:42:26. > :42:29.You can see it not just in statistics, you see it in the

:42:30. > :42:30.attitudes of young Americans across the political spectrum.

:42:31. > :42:35.Joining us from Washington now is US political analyst Eric Ham.

:42:36. > :42:42.Good morning. Good to speak to you. I know you will have watched this

:42:43. > :42:46.closely. What do you think? Very interesting speech. He touched on so

:42:47. > :42:52.many areas. What will be his long-lasting legacy? It has to be

:42:53. > :42:57.that he was a trailblazer. I mean, we cannot deny the fact that he was

:42:58. > :43:01.the first African-American elected to the highest office in the land.

:43:02. > :43:07.You have two also remember that when he came into office, we were going

:43:08. > :43:09.through the greatest, I think, economic term that this country has

:43:10. > :43:14.ever seen since the Great Depression. We were haemorrhaging

:43:15. > :43:18.over 800,000 jobs per month. Barack Obama came in and single-handedly

:43:19. > :43:24.saved the automobile industry. He actually took us from a major job

:43:25. > :43:31.loss to now where we are actually bringing in new jobs into this

:43:32. > :43:39.country. He actually tried to be a unifier but he did didn't get the

:43:40. > :43:42.support from Congress. I think it will be seen as a trailblazer and

:43:43. > :43:48.make no mistake, history will be very kind to this president. He was

:43:49. > :43:54.also, in some ways, a call to arms. I have done this work and now it is

:43:55. > :44:00.over to you. It was. And also, too, one thing about Barack Obama, he

:44:01. > :44:03.has, I think, an amazing understanding and he believes in

:44:04. > :44:08.people. One thing about the speech today that came out very clear was

:44:09. > :44:12.that he believed democracy is on the brink and it needs to be pulled

:44:13. > :44:17.back. I believe that many of the statements he made were directed at

:44:18. > :44:22.Donald Trump and I do believe he wants to see an America reach its

:44:23. > :44:27.highest ideals, reach its full potential. I believe he thinks that

:44:28. > :44:32.with Donald Trump at the helm, that might be a problem. I think that

:44:33. > :44:36.this was not only a farewell speech at a rallying of the troops to say,

:44:37. > :44:42.look, there is much more work to be done. Let's also talk about the

:44:43. > :44:46.President elect. There is a breaking news, really, overnight, from

:44:47. > :44:49.America. It is about information that media reports have that the

:44:50. > :44:55.Russians may have on him. Can you explain to us what the latest

:44:56. > :45:00.revelation is? There is an intelligence briefing that he had

:45:01. > :45:07.last week with intelligence agencies and part of this briefing was a

:45:08. > :45:12.2-page dossier memo that suggested that maybe not Donald Trump directly

:45:13. > :45:16.but surrogates and aides of Donald Trump have been working and had

:45:17. > :45:23.maybe provided information to these aids and that some of them

:45:24. > :45:27.interacting with Russian embassies said they had damaging information

:45:28. > :45:35.on Donald Trump. None of this has been confirmed that it is something

:45:36. > :45:41.that is out there and I believe that given the fact the various

:45:42. > :45:46.intelligence agencies are long with the FBI are saying that Russia

:45:47. > :45:51.played a role in our election process, these latest allegations

:45:52. > :45:55.are something you will begin to see more senators, more congressmen,

:45:56. > :46:02.from both the Right and left, looking for and focusing more

:46:03. > :46:05.attention on and looking to investigate in a more in-depth and

:46:06. > :46:11.detailed way. Thank you for explaining it. Also Donald Trump,

:46:12. > :46:16.first thing Donald Trump tweets about is fake news.

:46:17. > :46:22.Fellini yes and this is something you have to understand about Trump

:46:23. > :46:29.and his team. Any time we bring up Russian hacking they see this as an

:46:30. > :46:33.opportunity to somehow dispute the notion that he's president or

:46:34. > :46:37.somehow that his is tainted. But many people accept that Donald Trump

:46:38. > :46:41.is the President-elect, but recognise that there are issues,

:46:42. > :46:45.there are problems, especially with Russia that need to be addressed. So

:46:46. > :46:50.I think that something that lawmakers are looking... And I think

:46:51. > :46:54.the intelligence community would like to see Donald Trump take a more

:46:55. > :46:58.proactive approach to addressing and I think only time will tell if he

:46:59. > :47:06.will do that. Thanks for your time, as always. You bet. Fascinating. I

:47:07. > :47:08.love the way American guests finish their interviews with "you bet".

:47:09. > :47:11.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:47:12. > :47:20.It is one of those mornings where I could hear the weather before I saw

:47:21. > :47:24.it. Yes, and over the next few days some

:47:25. > :47:28.of us will have sleek and snow. We could have some icy roads to look

:47:29. > :47:33.out for. Gales is the story of the day. Very strong winds through the

:47:34. > :47:41.night. We still have them and will carry on with them. These are the

:47:42. > :47:46.latest bus. So if you are travelling this morning, do take extra care.

:47:47. > :47:50.There is likely to be some disruption. There is already in

:47:51. > :47:55.places. You could find branches down, et cetera. Across Scotland it

:47:56. > :48:01.is windy. Storm force in the north, severe gales. The black circles

:48:02. > :48:06.indicate the gust of wind come up plus wintry showers. We've got a

:48:07. > :48:09.rain showers and windy across Northern Ireland. Some snow showers

:48:10. > :48:15.and fairly windy across northern England. India -- windy along the

:48:16. > :48:19.coastal approaches. Still windy in the south of England, are not as

:48:20. > :48:23.windy as everywhere else. Through the day as well as the wind the

:48:24. > :48:27.cloud will break up and we will have sunshine. As it turned colder

:48:28. > :48:31.through the day we will have wintry showers, even getting down to lower

:48:32. > :48:36.levels. The highest temperatures are coming down as we go through the

:48:37. > :48:39.day. In the evening and overnight there will be the risk of ice on

:48:40. > :48:43.untreated surfaces. Wintry showers more prolific in Scotland. Then

:48:44. > :48:47.another batch comes in across Northern Ireland. A lot of this in

:48:48. > :48:52.the hills. Sleet and snow at lower levels as well. Then we've got the

:48:53. > :48:58.next system coming in across the south-west. This is problematic. The

:48:59. > :49:02.exact positioning is important because as it engages with the cold,

:49:03. > :49:06.Arctic air that's where we are likely to see snow. This is what we

:49:07. > :49:09.think at the moment, as it could drift further south. Tomorrow a lot

:49:10. > :49:15.of rain, the risk of flooding locally. It comes in across Wales,

:49:16. > :49:20.the Moors, towards the Home Counties, across London, the

:49:21. > :49:24.south-east and towards Kent. But it could be a little bit further south.

:49:25. > :49:32.Some of us see up to two centimetres of snow. Locally, ten centimetres.

:49:33. > :49:34.Variable. In the north we've got snow showers packing in across

:49:35. > :49:37.Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland. Some of them at

:49:38. > :49:43.lower levels. Blizzards in the mountains. But showers, so not all

:49:44. > :49:48.of us will see them. In between there will be sunshine, but it will

:49:49. > :49:51.feel cold. Wherever you are, although temperatures are the

:49:52. > :49:56.freezing, for most of us it will feel more like low freezing. As we

:49:57. > :50:00.head on through the rest of Thursday and into Friday there goes the low

:50:01. > :50:05.pressure, taking the snow away from it. The wind moves to a northerly

:50:06. > :50:10.and with a north-westerly component. In the Friday a lot of dry weather

:50:11. > :50:14.around. Any showers are likely to be wintry in nature. The thing up large

:50:15. > :50:19.waves in the wind. Some parts of eastern England could see some

:50:20. > :50:25.localised coastal flooding. So a lot going on. There really is. Thank

:50:26. > :50:32.you. It is affecting things out and about as well. There was a lorry

:50:33. > :50:37.crash on a bridge. High winds reported in the area. Drivers being

:50:38. > :50:41.asked to take alternative routes this morning. It will cause

:50:42. > :50:47.difficulty and traffic issues this morning. We will keep you

:50:48. > :50:52.up-to-date. Also, many of you may have been kept awake last night

:50:53. > :50:58.worrying about money. I went straight to sleep, actually,

:50:59. > :51:01.but it is on many people's minds. I do concern myself with it on other

:51:02. > :51:06.occasions. Straight, sound asleep. I was kept

:51:07. > :51:11.awake by the wind last night. Yes, it is in the wind are good sleep

:51:12. > :51:16.that is worrying many people. It is money and it's a study from nearly

:51:17. > :51:18.2000 staff showing it isn't just people on the waiting comes that are

:51:19. > :51:23.worried about money. Charles Cotton's team did this

:51:24. > :51:30.research and he's with me. You've done this study, looking at

:51:31. > :51:34.the fact that people have been kept awake last night, worry -- worrying

:51:35. > :51:36.about what they are earning. Let's take a look at some

:51:37. > :51:39.of the main points coming out A fifth of those worried

:51:40. > :51:50.about their money It has got to that stage? Yes, in

:51:51. > :51:54.total about one in four employees said that money concerns was

:51:55. > :51:59.impacting their ability to do their job, by the lack of sleep or just

:52:00. > :52:03.not able to focus at work or taking time out of the office to deal with

:52:04. > :52:07.money concerns. To be clear, these are people who are already working,

:52:08. > :52:12.so not someone worried about getting a job. People who are in work,

:52:13. > :52:18.worried about being paid enough? Yes, being paid enough to kind of

:52:19. > :52:22.meet basic living standards and whether they are being awarded

:52:23. > :52:25.fairly, in comparison to their work colleagues or whether they have the

:52:26. > :52:29.opportunity to save for their futures. It had a look -- have a

:52:30. > :52:35.look at who is affected. A third of 18-24-year-olds

:52:36. > :52:45.are reporting cash-flow concerns. They are worried they aren't being

:52:46. > :52:48.paid enough. Yes, it might be young people, some might be students so

:52:49. > :52:51.they are worried about student debts, also getting onto the

:52:52. > :52:57.property ladder or saving for a deposit, or saving for their future

:52:58. > :53:02.pension. And it isn't people who are just on low incomes that are most

:53:03. > :53:07.concerned, it is everybody and especially those who are earning a

:53:08. > :53:11.substantial amount of money are still worrying whether it's enough.

:53:12. > :53:15.Even high earners have money problems, but there is a case of not

:53:16. > :53:19.so much the amount of money but finding time to manage their

:53:20. > :53:26.finances, finding time to get the best deals and understanding how it

:53:27. > :53:29.has been used. We've seen a lot of initiatives, like the national

:53:30. > :53:33.minimum wage, all that sort of thing, to address people at the

:53:34. > :53:36.bottom of the scale. What can firms be doing? It isn't just a case of

:53:37. > :53:42.paying people more. Obviously, especially at this time of economic

:53:43. > :53:45.uncertainty, any firms perhaps don't have the money anyway to increase

:53:46. > :53:49.salaries, but there are steps they can take. One is to look at training

:53:50. > :53:53.and development opportunities for employees, to have skills to

:53:54. > :53:58.progress up the career ladder. It is looking at how they can make their

:53:59. > :54:02.employees be more financially sound by giving them access to financial

:54:03. > :54:06.advice and information and guidance and finally it is perhaps going

:54:07. > :54:12.around and doing local deals with firms in your area, yet discounts

:54:13. > :54:17.for your staff from hairdressers, from local clinics, the gym, things

:54:18. > :54:23.like that, the -- to help spread the money better. Very interesting.

:54:24. > :54:28.Rank you. More from me after 7am when we will get the results from

:54:29. > :54:33.Sainsbury's. I will have the details in about minutes.

:54:34. > :54:44.Thank you. Later this morning we have a treat. At about 7:50am...

:54:59. > :54:59.Before you get to see us attempt out predict pretty full effort, here is

:55:00. > :56:20.a quick. -- pretty pitiful effort. Did it go in?

:56:21. > :56:25.You will have to watch later. Do you think they would be playing

:56:26. > :56:30.it if it didn't? The good news is that we are never

:56:31. > :56:35.short of ambition here on BBC Breakfast. We will try the same.

:56:36. > :56:40.Slightly more limited. We've got six balls and the white on the table. We

:56:41. > :56:46.will try to pot all of those later, but their effort was incredible.

:12:49. > :12:51.will be and on what scale. Whether anything else could be done

:13:54. > :14:11.are fans of Star Wars. The worries of health professionals

:14:12. > :14:17.in the NHS have been laid bare today. Those letters, one from the

:14:18. > :14:20.Royal College of physicians and another from the Royal College of

:14:21. > :14:26.nursing and carers UK are pretty damning of the government's

:14:27. > :14:30.treatment of problems. The RCP says we are treating more patients than

:14:31. > :14:31.ever before and are NHS is underfunded, under doctored and

:14:32. > :14:42.under is -- overstretched. The Independent Age collective says

:14:43. > :14:45."unless you adopt a bolder approach millions of older, ill and disabled

:14:46. > :14:48.people and their carers, The letters come after

:14:49. > :14:52.documents leaked to BBC News revealed record numbers of patients

:14:53. > :14:55.are facing long waits in A - nearly a quarter waited longer

:14:56. > :14:58.than the four hour target. This week the Health Secretary

:14:59. > :15:01.Jeremy Hunt suggested that target may have to be relaxed -

:15:02. > :15:05.it has not been met since July 2015. The NHS and the Prime Minister

:15:17. > :15:22.who's an A consultant and a member of the Royal College of Emergency

:15:23. > :15:35.Medicine. morning. Thank you so much for your

:15:36. > :15:38.time. You work in this industry. Tell us what emergency is like at

:15:39. > :15:45.the moment for you and your staff. It is very pressured. We have

:15:46. > :15:48.reports from all around the country, that people can't offload people

:15:49. > :15:53.from ambulances. People are working under huge pressure. They aren't

:15:54. > :15:56.able to give the care they want to. People are being treated in

:15:57. > :16:00.corridors and even when people are being assessed they have a long way

:16:01. > :16:03.to get into the hospital. How does it make you feel when you hear

:16:04. > :16:07.stories about people waiting on trolleys for 12 hours? When we hear

:16:08. > :16:14.them we think, how can that happen? When you as a doctor here that, how

:16:15. > :16:17.does that make you feel? It is demoralising. People want to be able

:16:18. > :16:21.to go to work and do the best possible job they can. That means

:16:22. > :16:26.treating them in an environment that is dignified and supportive. If you

:16:27. > :16:29.are looking after someone in a trolley it is actually really

:16:30. > :16:32.demoralising if they are waiting there and you walk past them and

:16:33. > :16:36.they are still there all the time. It has a very corrosive effect on

:16:37. > :16:44.morale and resilience. Giving the Red -- given what you have said, do

:16:45. > :16:48.you think what the Red Cross have said is an over exaggeration? It is

:16:49. > :16:52.certainly a crisis and this has been building for a number of years. It

:16:53. > :16:58.is particularly acute at this time of year when we have had

:16:59. > :17:01.accommodation of a cold snap, possibly some flu going around and

:17:02. > :17:05.all the pressures of the winter break. But this isn't something that

:17:06. > :17:10.has come out of the blue. We spoke to Jeremy Hunt on Monday and later

:17:11. > :17:14.on that day he spoke about the four-hour waiting time at emergency.

:17:15. > :17:17.Would you be in favour of the changes he has suggested? The thing

:17:18. > :17:26.that is a good way forward? Absolutely not. We are generally

:17:27. > :17:29.very behind the four-hour target. Just because you don't like the

:17:30. > :17:34.result doesn't mean you can't change the rules of the game. It isn't a

:17:35. > :17:41.perfect standard by any means, but it's a useful standard. Trying to

:17:42. > :17:45.say you will only apply it to selected people wouldn't work. If

:17:46. > :17:48.you actually applied it to the people who need it most, the people

:17:49. > :17:52.coming to hospital, the sick, very ill and people with conflicts needs,

:17:53. > :17:59.the performance would drop very much. -- complex needs. People who

:18:00. > :18:04.shouldn't be there are actually treated very quickly and easily. We

:18:05. > :18:08.think they are a bit less than 30% of the workflow, but not 30% of the

:18:09. > :18:13.total work we have to give those people. It is more like 5%. What

:18:14. > :18:19.changes would you make if you could, especially to emergency? We need to

:18:20. > :18:23.create an environment where it makes it better for people to go to work

:18:24. > :18:27.and give good care. We need urgently to have more beds within the

:18:28. > :18:31.hospitals and within social care systems, so we don't... We can

:18:32. > :18:35.actually get patients promptly from an emergency department into

:18:36. > :18:39.hospital. Where do those beds come from? Is that extra funding, a

:18:40. > :18:46.change to the system? Absolutely extra funding. With that letter

:18:47. > :18:50.today about the problems we are seeing in hospitals, they are spot

:18:51. > :18:56.on. We need more funding and also for social care. Actually getting

:18:57. > :19:00.patients out of hospital, safely and properly into the right sort of

:19:01. > :19:06.care, will have huge benefits. We appreciate your time this morning.

:19:07. > :19:09.Lots of you will have noticed it was pretty windy last night.

:19:10. > :19:12.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:19:13. > :19:22.Good morning. In the next 24 hours what we are looking at is sleet and

:19:23. > :19:27.snow for some of us. Some of us have this already. Icy roads and also

:19:28. > :19:31.gables. Gail is what we have today. It could lead to travel disruption.

:19:32. > :19:36.It has already. Some temperatures have restrictions. Watch out for

:19:37. > :19:42.some branches of trees careering down the road. The black circles

:19:43. > :19:47.indicate the wind gusts. Across Scotland, storm force in the north,

:19:48. > :19:53.severe gales. Blizzards in the hills. Across Northern Ireland it is

:19:54. > :19:59.rain showers. Very windy. Northern England, especially the Pennines.

:20:00. > :20:03.Watch out on the M62 for example. Windy around the coasts, with

:20:04. > :20:07.showers. Windy in the Midlands and into east Anglia. Southern England

:20:08. > :20:11.isn't as windy as it is further north. It will remain windy as we go

:20:12. > :20:17.through the day. The snow showers continue across Scotland. Sleet and

:20:18. > :20:21.snow, some in the lower levels. But they are showers, so not all of us

:20:22. > :20:26.will see them. Maximum temperatures going down. Through the evening and

:20:27. > :20:31.overnight there is the risk of some ice on untreated surfaces. If

:20:32. > :20:37.anything the snow showers become more prolific in Northern Ireland,

:20:38. > :20:41.more than England and Wales. Then the next troublemaker comes in. The

:20:42. > :20:45.low pressure is moving from the west towards this. There is still an

:20:46. > :20:49.element of doubt as to how far north it grows and that's important

:20:50. > :20:52.because as the rain engages with the cold, Arctic air that's when we are

:20:53. > :20:56.likely to see snow. Before that happens a lot of rain will push

:20:57. > :21:00.across the south, which could lead to surface water, and then here

:21:01. > :21:04.comes the snow across South Wales, the Moors, heading eastwards across

:21:05. > :21:08.southern counties into the Midlands, through London, east Anglia and

:21:09. > :21:13.taught the south coast. Later that will push away through Kent. The

:21:14. > :21:17.snow might be further south. So don't make this the last weather

:21:18. > :21:22.forecast you watch. Some could get two centimetres, some ten

:21:23. > :21:26.centimetres. At the other end of the country, for Scotland, Northern

:21:27. > :21:32.Ireland and England, mostly showers. I'm getting into north Wales as

:21:33. > :21:36.well. We will see the showers at lower levels. Again, winds starting

:21:37. > :21:39.to ease, what atrocious conditions on the hills and mountains. In

:21:40. > :21:45.between that dry and relatively bright. Wherever you are it will

:21:46. > :21:49.feel cold. The wind will accentuate that chilly feel, so for many it

:21:50. > :21:59.will feel freezing. Then pushes into near continent on Thursday. The wind

:22:00. > :22:02.moves to a northerly and then we have gales coming down and the risk

:22:03. > :22:09.of some localised coastal flooding. Lots going on. A busy time. Thank

:22:10. > :22:12.you. Like you say, don't make that the last weather report you watch

:22:13. > :22:15.because it is changing all the time. We will have another one in half an

:22:16. > :22:15.hour. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:22:16. > :22:18.will today visit a centre run by a charity which supports

:22:19. > :22:22.bereaved parents. Prince William is Royal patron

:22:23. > :22:24.of Child Bereavement UK, which also offers help to children

:22:25. > :22:27.who have experienced the death Graham Satchell has

:22:28. > :22:30.been to meet a family You may find some of the details

:22:31. > :22:50.in this report upsetting. She was kind of like my lifeline. If

:22:51. > :22:57.I got moody with her dad, she would be like, come on, ma'am, snap out of

:22:58. > :23:06.it. She was headstrong. -- mum. She was full of life, full of smiles.

:23:07. > :23:10.She knew me better than any myself. Olivia died six years ago after an

:23:11. > :23:19.asthma attack at school. She was just eight. We both didn't know what

:23:20. > :23:28.to do or what to say to one another. It was just thinking why? Why did it

:23:29. > :23:33.happen? I didn't want to cry in front of the wife and kids. I had to

:23:34. > :23:40.be strong for the rest of the family. Such a cheeky smile. Very

:23:41. > :23:48.cheeky smile. How do you cope with the death of a child, a daughter,

:23:49. > :23:54.sister? We were what I would call a normal family and the biggest thing,

:23:55. > :24:01.it will always stick in my mind, is the fact that Darren turns around to

:24:02. > :24:09.Kayley and says it is OK to cry for your sister.

:24:10. > :24:29.And she says, no, it's OK for you to cry. It is very hard. For years you

:24:30. > :24:33.were two peas in a pod. The family has struggled. Struggled to talk to

:24:34. > :24:36.each other, struggled with friends who didn't know what to say and then

:24:37. > :24:41.drifted away. But they have had hoped, counselling from the charity

:24:42. > :24:45.Child Bereavement UK. Many of the families that we see at Child

:24:46. > :24:48.Bereavement UK do talk about the sense of loneliness and isolation

:24:49. > :24:54.that comes from grief and I think we have to chip away at this taboo and

:24:55. > :24:58.try and help decrease the isolation that bereaved families so often

:24:59. > :25:05.feel. I'm not one that likes to show my feelings, but coming here was a

:25:06. > :25:08.bit awkward at first. At the time my sister died I was going through at

:25:09. > :25:13.that stage myself, with getting bullied and self harming, invite

:25:14. > :25:19.that. -- things like that. Me self harming was my way of coping, to

:25:20. > :25:24.take it out on me, not anyone else. I am slowly getting there, just

:25:25. > :25:31.trying to get my life back on track. When I think back to how everything

:25:32. > :25:34.was, even on the day of Olivia's death we weren't actually there for

:25:35. > :25:40.each other. When we started having sessions together, I mean, to be

:25:41. > :25:45.honest that was the only time we actually spoke to each other or

:25:46. > :25:51.actually knew how each other felt. Counselling has helped but their

:25:52. > :25:56.lives will never be the same. I still think I haven't really grieved

:25:57. > :26:02.properly. There's always song, there's always a film, or there's

:26:03. > :26:09.always something that said that you never forget.

:26:10. > :26:13.Thank you very much to the family for sharing their story with us.

:26:14. > :26:17.That was Graham Satchell reporting there.

:26:18. > :26:20.And later in the programme the actor Jason Watkins will be here to talk

:26:21. > :26:22.about the challenges he and his family faced

:26:23. > :26:25.when they lost their daughter six years ago.

:26:26. > :26:30.Clearly tough to talk about, but important to talk about.

:26:31. > :26:42.What beds have you got? The minute we have bed problems, usually due to

:26:43. > :26:44.people not being able to leave the hospital at the other end, then we

:26:45. > :26:46.end up in this state. At a time

:26:47. > :26:48.of unprecedented pressure for the NHS, the BBC has spent six

:26:49. > :26:51.weeks filming inside one We will be there throughout the

:26:52. > :26:55.morning. Time now to get the news,

:31:00. > :31:04.faith written into our founding documents, that ideal whisper

:31:05. > :31:06.by slaves and abolitionists, that spirit sung by immigrants

:32:00. > :32:09.had been published. These latest allegations are

:32:10. > :32:13.something that I think you will begin to see more senators, more

:32:14. > :32:20.congressmen, from both the right and left, looking for and focusing more

:32:21. > :32:22.attention on and looking to investigate in a more in-depth and

:40:20. > :40:27.of sporting landscape, isn't it? We both took a breath at the same

:40:28. > :40:30.time then. We've heard a lot about

:40:31. > :40:33.the pressures the NHS is facing this winter and the strain

:40:34. > :40:53.that doctors and nurses BBC cameras were allowed to film

:40:54. > :41:03.inside and to see the pressures they are under. She has had two lines of

:41:04. > :41:09.cocaine. Unknown quantities. 28-year-old male, stabbed three

:41:10. > :41:14.times. Seven men with guns have gone into a building and someone is not

:41:15. > :41:20.leaving. What beds have you got from it? The minute we have bad problems

:41:21. > :41:25.might usually due to patients not being able to leave the hospital at

:41:26. > :41:31.the other end, we end up in this state. Oh. What have we got that can

:41:32. > :41:38.come out? So much. Tim Muffett is live this morning

:41:39. > :41:41.from St Mary's hospital in Paddington which

:41:42. > :42:01.features in the series. This offers so so much insight. This

:42:02. > :42:07.is St Mary 's in Paddington. Vascular surgeon, Richard, weighty

:42:08. > :42:15."A good idea to allow cameras inside? -- why did you think it was

:42:16. > :42:20.a good idea? It was good to give people an idea of how difficult

:42:21. > :42:24.decisions are made. We are working and challenging circumstances at the

:42:25. > :42:29.moment, throughout the NHS, it's fair to say. It hopefully offers

:42:30. > :42:34.people an idea that people take very considered, very careful decisions

:42:35. > :42:38.about how to make hospitals run when they are under a lot of pressure. We

:42:39. > :42:44.will look at another clip. In this clip with EU and another surgeon

:42:45. > :42:53.effectively competing to provide a bed to different patients. -- we see

:42:54. > :43:02.you. I think the thing is, we haven't got a lot of choice because

:43:03. > :43:07.we don't do it then,... OK. This case has trumped a patient with

:43:08. > :43:11.cancer we were going to do in the other theatre echoes that she has

:43:12. > :43:19.got a condition that will kill her -- because, sometime in the next

:43:20. > :43:26.three, four, five, six hours. If we don't do it now, there is going to

:43:27. > :43:32.be no five hours time for her. Incredibly tense situation. How

:43:33. > :43:39.common are situations like that? They are more common than people

:43:40. > :43:45.might think. I think that they are becoming more common. Recently, we

:43:46. > :43:52.are running into these issues more and more. The head of emergency says

:43:53. > :43:57.you are fire fighting to keep it afloat. She says the whole system

:43:58. > :44:02.Countrywide has ground to a halt. Can't speak to the rest of the

:44:03. > :44:13.country but from listening to colleagues, it sounds similar. There

:44:14. > :44:16.are robust plans to tackle the problems with supply but I'm not

:44:17. > :44:20.going to lie, it's very difficult at the moment. Are you glad that people

:44:21. > :44:26.will have an insight into what you do? It's important that people do

:44:27. > :44:30.the how decisions are made, the kind of dishes that are brought to bear

:44:31. > :44:35.on clinical staff, doctors, nurses, and I hope it is very reassuring for

:44:36. > :44:46.them to show that every decision is thought about. And Q4 -- thank you

:44:47. > :44:54.so much. The night, we get that insight. It is unprecedented. It

:44:55. > :44:56.gives us insight into how decisions are made in our hospitals.

:44:57. > :45:04.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:45:05. > :45:09.We said don't make the earlier weather forecast the last one you

:45:10. > :45:13.watch today because things are changing all the time. There's lots

:45:14. > :45:16.to keep hold of as people go to school and work today.

:45:17. > :45:21.Yes, and especially with tomorrow's weather forecast. In the next few

:45:22. > :45:26.days we have sleet and snow for some, icy roads and gales. Today we

:45:27. > :45:32.have gales. If you are travelling, bear that in mind. Travel disruption

:45:33. > :45:35.is possible. Storm force winds in the final of Scotland, severe gales

:45:36. > :45:39.or gales in the rest of Scotland, parts of northern England and

:45:40. > :45:42.Northern Ireland. Adding that a mixture of snow. Atrocious

:45:43. > :45:46.conditions on the mountains and hills, with blizzards. Further south

:45:47. > :45:53.will be wintriness in the Pennines. Largely dry on higher ground. Take

:45:54. > :45:59.extra care if you are travelling, especially the M62. Windy around the

:46:00. > :46:03.coast of the south-west of England. As we come across other southern

:46:04. > :46:10.counties it is still windy, just not as windy as it is across other parts

:46:11. > :46:13.of the UK. Showers becoming more prolific across Scotland. Even at

:46:14. > :46:19.lower levels we will have sleet and snow. We will have sunshine in parts

:46:20. > :46:25.of Northern Ireland, England and Wales. There is the risk of some ice

:46:26. > :46:29.on untreated surfaces. We are not looking at the risk of frost so much

:46:30. > :46:32.because it is windy. Winds coming down a little bit. Snow showers

:46:33. > :46:36.becoming more widespread and heavier across Scotland, northern England,

:46:37. > :46:43.Northern Ireland and a few across the hills of Wales. This is what my

:46:44. > :46:47.change tomorrow. We have rain coming in, associated with low pressure,

:46:48. > :46:53.moving towards west to east. There is the risk of surface water

:46:54. > :46:56.flooding. As it engages with the cold, Arctic air that's when we will

:46:57. > :47:00.have snow. First thing in the morning we are likely to have snow

:47:01. > :47:04.on the hills and mountains of Wales. Through the day the snow will travel

:47:05. > :47:09.towards the south-east, even at lower levels we could have up to two

:47:10. > :47:13.centimetres of snow, locally up to ten centimetres, so very variable.

:47:14. > :47:17.Not all of us will see it. This could push further south. The south

:47:18. > :47:23.Midlands might not see it, but that's very much in the forecast at

:47:24. > :47:26.the moment. At the other end of the country we are looking at snow

:47:27. > :47:32.showers. Again, prolific. Some of them heavy. Gusty winds. Lizards on

:47:33. > :47:39.the hills. The wind continuing to come down. -- blizzards. In between

:47:40. > :47:43.all of that we are looking at some dry weather, but wherever you are in

:47:44. > :47:47.this still cold. Although temperatures are above freezing it

:47:48. > :47:52.will feel like it isn't for many of us.

:47:53. > :47:54.Thank you so much. We will be watching closely.

:47:55. > :47:58.From today, if you take a short haul BA flight you won't get any free

:47:59. > :48:04.Instead they've teamed up with a well known retailer to sell

:48:05. > :48:09.This morning Ben is looking at the last of the frills coming off

:48:10. > :48:18.Cheesy bites, is that what you look forward to?

:48:19. > :48:25.The ones that are shaped like fish. I don't think they are cheesy. At as

:48:26. > :48:27.people are pointing out that aren't free, you pay for it in your ticket

:48:28. > :48:27.price. It is a long time since air

:48:28. > :48:30.travel felt glamorous, but today is certainly

:48:31. > :48:33.the end of a era. Not so long ago you

:48:34. > :48:36.could have expected to check in at an airport,

:48:37. > :48:41.get a complimentary snack, You have to print your own boarding

:48:42. > :48:50.pass for many carriers. The cutlery is gone

:48:51. > :48:56.and increasingly airlines are offering services to watch films

:48:57. > :48:59.on your own devices, phone or tablet,

:49:00. > :49:03.rather than installing their own. And from today if you take a short

:49:04. > :49:06.haul British Airways flight from Heathrow or Gatwick

:49:07. > :49:08.you won't get any free Instead you'll have to pay

:49:09. > :49:12.or something provided by M Emma Coulthurst from the website

:49:13. > :49:18.TravelSupermarket joins us. Good morning. The end of an era.

:49:19. > :49:27.When does no frills become no-frills? Isn't it interesting that

:49:28. > :49:32.BA have come out and done this? They are the -- they aren't one of the

:49:33. > :49:40.main cost airlines, like easyJet, but there is little between them. At

:49:41. > :49:46.the moment from today that gin and tonic, that sandwich that you get,

:49:47. > :49:50.it is all gone. You will have to pay for it. It is interesting. The costs

:49:51. > :49:55.are about one third more than you would pay on the high street at M

:49:56. > :50:02.But the best thing to do, take your own. Take your own snacks. Another

:50:03. > :50:07.tip, you water bottle, take it through security empty, then go to

:50:08. > :50:12.one of the bars and ask them to fill it up for free. There are so many

:50:13. > :50:15.extras and I think it is the case of making sure you understand the

:50:16. > :50:18.rules. If you understand the rules then you can get around some of

:50:19. > :50:22.those extras. But there is nowhere on the plane now which hasn't got

:50:23. > :50:28.some sort of potential charge attached to it. That's the point.

:50:29. > :50:31.The airline wants to save money. Of course they are trying to increase

:50:32. > :50:35.the profit margin. So with the competition from the no-frills

:50:36. > :50:38.carriers will stop but will we see our ticket prices go down? I can't

:50:39. > :50:43.imagine it will get cheaper just because we don't get a free meal.

:50:44. > :50:49.Funnily enough, the new BA chairman said last year that they are doing

:50:50. > :50:54.this because the customers want more choice. He kind of suggested that

:50:55. > :51:00.their products warrant premium. But I can't imagine you would find many

:51:01. > :51:08.BA customers saying they wanted to pay ?2 34 cup of tea. Really

:51:09. > :51:14.interesting. A lot of you getting in touch this morning on social media,

:51:15. > :51:19.saying it was one thing that gave BA the edge. Another says, this is the

:51:20. > :51:22.reality. Think of it with a flying bus and you won't be disappointed.

:51:23. > :51:24.Another says, it's a bonus! More for me after 8am.

:51:25. > :51:29.Thank you. In a moment, we'll trade our autocue

:51:30. > :51:33.for a couple of pool cues to try our hand at potting a few

:51:34. > :51:37.balls with the man behind what's been dubbed the best

:51:38. > :51:39.trick shot ever. Millions of people have now watched

:51:40. > :51:42.the video of the stunt which involves a golf club,

:51:43. > :51:44.two flights of stairs, Trick shot enthusiast

:51:45. > :53:13.Shane O'Hara joins us now. Thank you very much. You set that up

:53:14. > :53:19.and it took an extraordinary long time, didn't it? It did, quite

:53:20. > :53:26.sadly. It took an entire night of my life. How many sections were there?

:53:27. > :53:31.20. And he practised every single section how many times? It failed

:53:32. > :53:37.multiple times as we went along. Probably 100 plus takes. Lots of

:53:38. > :53:41.people say they think it is either fake or that it was done on

:53:42. > :53:47.different cameras, but it was one continuous shot. Was it you who took

:53:48. > :53:50.the shot at the start? No, that was someone else rolling in my 15

:53:51. > :53:56.minutes of fame. Even though he had the most limited input in it. I am

:53:57. > :54:03.sure he wouldn't say that! Yes, it is amazing. We were just really

:54:04. > :54:07.persistent. I understand you started from the last shot and then work

:54:08. > :54:14.backwards? Yes, you work backwards. Part of the artistry is that you

:54:15. > :54:20.paint it as it goes. You just go with the flow. There is no still

:54:21. > :54:26.image that you see before you start. Is it true that as frustration

:54:27. > :54:31.kicked in for the last two hours no one spoke to each other? That's

:54:32. > :54:35.true. We all just wanted to go to bed. We were bashing our heads off

:54:36. > :54:39.each other. But it has worked and has been watched by millions. What

:54:40. > :54:42.would you do next? Something more elaborate?

:54:43. > :54:49.You are going to do on here! You have set one up for us? This has a

:54:50. > :54:53.fairly high success rate. Depends on your sporting pedigree. We don't

:54:54. > :55:00.know who will play this. Let's toss the coin.

:55:01. > :55:05.I will go heads. Heads I will do it. Tails, it's you!

:55:06. > :55:16.OK... Can you talk me through it a bit? Do

:55:17. > :55:25.it at medium speed. The plan is that all of the balls will go in. In

:55:26. > :55:30.between the two reds? What will happen if it is successful? If it is

:55:31. > :55:36.successful then you are much braver than I am to do something on live TV

:55:37. > :55:38.like this. And what will happen? Supposedly on ball Bilbo in each

:55:39. > :55:56.pocket. That is officially the worst trick

:55:57. > :56:02.shot ever. I don't want to critique you... I will take some of the

:56:03. > :56:13.liability. Can I have a go in on our? Yes, I will set it up. -- in

:56:14. > :56:19.one hour? I believe the -- will leave the building before my credit

:05:15. > :05:18.apathy, against fake news, against a corrosive political culture, but

:05:19. > :05:23.this speech wasn't just aimed at Barack Obama's supporters, it was

:05:24. > :05:26.for all Americans and also, I think for the president-elect Donald Trump

:05:27. > :05:31.and the president saying clearly progress has been made, but we must

:05:32. > :05:33.protect our rights as Americans. You mentioned Donald Trump, but

:05:34. > :05:37.President Obama didn't mention Donald Trump by name, although the

:05:38. > :05:44.president-elect is in the news again as he would term the fake news

:05:45. > :05:50.again? Well, that's right. US media are reporting that Russian spy

:05:51. > :05:54.agencies have embarrassing information about the

:05:55. > :05:59.president-elect Donald Trump that is personally compromising. They are

:06:00. > :06:04.also reporting that US intelligence agencies sat down with Mr Trump

:06:05. > :06:07.privately and told him about the allegations that apparently Russian

:06:08. > :06:11.spy agencies have. Now, Donald Trump responded as you mentioned in his

:06:12. > :06:14.signature way. He has taken to Twitter and he said fake news, this

:06:15. > :06:20.is a political witch-hunt. Donald Trump is in hot water in Washington

:06:21. > :06:25.for disparaging US intelligence agencies, for their claim that

:06:26. > :06:29.Russia interfered in the recent election to help Mr Trump. Mr Trump

:06:30. > :06:30.is supposed to hold a press conference today. If he does, you

:06:31. > :06:36.can be sure this will come up. We'll be assessing President Obama's

:06:37. > :06:40.legacy with a panel of experts on US politics and society

:06:41. > :06:42.in a few minutes time. A 15-year-old girl has been

:06:43. > :06:45.charged with the murder Katie Rough died in hospital

:06:46. > :06:48.on Monday after being found with serious injuries near a playing

:06:49. > :06:51.field in the Woodthorpe area. The teenager is due to appear before

:06:52. > :06:56.magistrates' later this morning. Senior doctors are warning that

:06:57. > :06:59.a shortage of resources may leave the NHS in England unable to cope

:07:00. > :07:02.with this winter's demand. In a letter to Theresa May,

:07:03. > :07:06.the Royal College of Physicians said the quality of patient care

:07:07. > :07:09.is under threat. Charities working with elderly

:07:10. > :07:12.and disabled people have also written to the Prime Minister

:07:13. > :07:14.calling for a long-term solution to funding

:07:15. > :07:16.for health and social care. Here's our Health

:07:17. > :07:19.Correspondent Robert Pigott. The Royal College of Physicians said

:07:20. > :07:25.ambulances queuing outside hospitals were visual testament to the crisis

:07:26. > :07:27.in the NHS. The Royal College, which represents

:07:28. > :07:34.33,000 specialist hospital doctors, said patients faced lengthening

:07:35. > :07:36.waits on lists, on trolleys, in accident and emergency

:07:37. > :07:39.departments and at home. It blamed a shortage of qualified

:07:40. > :07:41.staff, stretched too thin lead Our members fear that people's lives

:07:42. > :07:52.are at risk because they can't get round to see the patients that

:07:53. > :07:54.aren't yet in the emergency department or indeed are waiting

:07:55. > :07:59.for results to come back. Members and fellows have been

:08:00. > :08:01.writing in and our council members specifically have said to me this

:08:02. > :08:06.is the worst they have ever seen. Most urgent, said the doctors,

:08:07. > :08:09.is investment in social care to prevent medically fit patients

:08:10. > :08:12.being trapped in hospitals. In their own letter

:08:13. > :08:15.to the Prime Minister, 75 charities and individuals working

:08:16. > :08:17.in health and social care said there must be a long-term

:08:18. > :08:19.cross-party solution to what they called

:08:20. > :08:29.the crisis in funding. Led by the charity Independent Age,

:08:30. > :08:37.they said: The Department of Health

:08:38. > :08:42.said it had invested ?10 billion to develop health services

:08:43. > :08:43.and relieve pressure on hospitals. And, since last year,

:08:44. > :08:46.had recruited 3,000 extra nurses A white supremacist, Dylann Roof,

:08:47. > :08:58.has been sentenced to death for the racist killing of nine black

:08:59. > :09:01.men and women at a church The 22-year-old opened fire

:09:02. > :09:06.during a bible study meeting. He rejected a final chance

:09:07. > :09:09.to plead for his life, telling the jury he felt he "had

:09:10. > :09:16.to carry it out". For the first time,

:09:17. > :09:20.the Attorney-General will set out the legal factors that would be

:09:21. > :09:22.considered before military action is taken against

:09:23. > :09:27.terror suspects abroad. In a speech, Jeremy Wright QC,

:09:28. > :09:30.will say the UK must have the right to use lethal force like drone

:09:31. > :09:33.attacks in order to deal He will argue the law must keep up

:09:34. > :09:37.with the technology that has made it easier for terrorists to evade

:09:38. > :09:55.capture and inspire There is traffic disruption after a

:09:56. > :10:00.lorry overturned on the Forth Road Bridge in the early hours of this

:10:01. > :10:05.morning. Recovery cranes are at the scene, but drivers are used to use

:10:06. > :10:09.alternative routes. Carol will have a full forecast in seven minutes

:10:10. > :10:15.time. There is so much going on that you must stay tuned.

:10:16. > :10:18.In the last hour we've heard from another one of the big

:10:19. > :10:21.supermarkets about how they did over Christmas.

:10:22. > :10:32.Sainsbury's reporting a sales increase of 0.1%. So they have been

:10:33. > :10:37.really struggling with the turn around plan. You will know they got

:10:38. > :10:42.rid of discounts and buy one and get one free, all that sort of thing.

:10:43. > :10:47.They said it was to simplify what they offer, but it proved it didn't

:10:48. > :10:50.get the customers through the doors. They bought Argos last year and they

:10:51. > :10:57.have had a better time. Their sales are up 4%. They did well from Black

:10:58. > :11:00.Friday and Cyber Monday. So they have done particularly well, but as

:11:01. > :11:04.always, we've had the warnings that prices could rise over the coming

:11:05. > :11:07.year because of inflation and that could affect the price we pay for

:11:08. > :11:15.food in the supermarket. Something we also talk about house prices and

:11:16. > :11:21.not good news from Foxtons? This company is in London, but it deals

:11:22. > :11:24.with a lot of high-end property, but flat rentals, damning figures in

:11:25. > :11:27.their statement and I've done calculations. Revenues down by 26%,

:11:28. > :11:32.that's just in the last quarter. They have said their full year

:11:33. > :11:37.earnings will be down by 46%. And that's because of what they call a

:11:38. > :11:41.significant fall in sales volumes, now we're looking at that closely.

:11:42. > :11:45.There has been a clampdown on the fees that the agencies can charge to

:11:46. > :11:49.people who are renting. Things like renewing contracts and moving to a

:11:50. > :11:54.new house. But also, of course, after Brexit, whether there has been

:11:55. > :11:57.an impact on people buying high-end property, so it's something we'll

:11:58. > :12:12.watch closely, but the early signs for a company like Foxton's isn't

:12:13. > :12:17.good. A plane has come down in Australia.

:12:18. > :12:22.A 13-year-old boy has been treated for minor injuries.

:12:23. > :12:25.The latest strike by southern train drivers entered a second day with no

:12:26. > :12:30.sign of a breakthrough. The walk-out is due to finish at midnight. Four

:12:31. > :12:36.further strike days are planned for later this month. Yesterday, only 16

:12:37. > :12:39.of over 2,000 scheduled services ran. The dispute is about staffing

:12:40. > :12:43.duties on trains. A new species of gibbon has been

:12:44. > :12:50.identified in China. These black and cream

:12:51. > :12:52.gibbons live high up A full comparison has confirmed it's

:12:53. > :12:56.unlike any other in Asia. It's been named the Skywalker

:12:57. > :12:58.Hoolock gibbon, partly because the Chinese translation

:12:59. > :13:00.of its name means heaven's movement but also because the scientists

:13:01. > :13:06.are fans of Star Wars. Barack Obama left the world stage

:13:07. > :13:21.with the same words he first used in the run-up to his election

:13:22. > :13:23.as President,"Yes, we can." Joining us on the sofa

:13:24. > :13:27.now are Scott Lucas, Professor of American Studies

:13:28. > :13:29.at the University of Birmingham, and Elizabeth Linder,

:13:30. > :13:31.the former Politics and government

:13:32. > :13:36.specialist at Facebook. Thank you for your time. Overall the

:13:37. > :13:40.speech, Scott, we'll start with you first. How do you think it went

:13:41. > :13:48.down? I've got really mixed feelings about it. He is always a raet or ra

:13:49. > :13:55.for. There is two things. One, I think the setting wasn't right. It

:13:56. > :13:59.felt like a pepper alley. I would rather that - he just addressed

:14:00. > :14:05.directly the American public and said we're in a tricky time.

:14:06. > :14:08.Secondly, I think he did too much. I wish he had challenged the fact that

:14:09. > :14:13.this is a very divided country right now. It has been polarized in part,

:14:14. > :14:17.by media and in part by the campaign over the past year. He is a

:14:18. > :14:21.naturally cautious man and I think he was too cautious last night in

:14:22. > :14:25.saying folks, we might be great, but we have really got to tackle this

:14:26. > :14:30.head-on right now. Elizabeth. At the start, you know, it was the kind of

:14:31. > :14:34.the American dream, they were the golden family, the stakes were

:14:35. > :14:38.really high, but this many years later, have things changed,

:14:39. > :14:41.particularly to race relations. Are they better or worse, do you think?

:14:42. > :14:45.I thought it was interesting that President Obama directly addressed

:14:46. > :14:49.race relations in America which was a surprising move given that's one

:14:50. > :14:55.of the presiding questions we have today. A professor at a university

:14:56. > :14:59.in America who focuses on race relations has really questioned why

:15:00. > :15:02.it is that Barack Obama did not actually deliver on helping our

:15:03. > :15:06.country to progress further in that space, but what he did actually talk

:15:07. > :15:10.about, which was interesting, was the role of mill lendials in

:15:11. > :15:13.charting out our future which I think was interesting because after

:15:14. > :15:17.this election the country has been a bit hard on the younger people for

:15:18. > :15:20.not voting, for not being as politically active. So the fact that

:15:21. > :15:24.President Obama actually went back to those people that helped get him

:15:25. > :15:29.in office eight years ago and pin his hopes for the future on them

:15:30. > :15:32.really meant, I thought, that he sees potentially more prosperous

:15:33. > :15:38.future for our country than he sees in the short-term. Saying if you S

:15:39. > :15:42.want to moan, go and get a billboard and run for office. He didn't

:15:43. > :15:49.mention President Donald Trump, but there were a few silent digs and one

:15:50. > :15:57.of them you'll hear now. Isil will try to kill innocent people. But

:15:58. > :16:04.they cannot defeat America unless we portray our constitution and our

:16:05. > :16:09.principles in the fight. Rivals like Russia or China cannot match our

:16:10. > :16:14.influence around the world unless we give up what we stand for. And turn

:16:15. > :16:26.ourselves into just another big country that bullies smaller

:16:27. > :16:34.He did not mention Donald Trump by name. There were some silent digs.

:16:35. > :16:38.He only mentioned his name once, in the peaceful transition of power.

:16:39. > :16:43.This was a vintage farewell address from a president. Facts and figures,

:16:44. > :16:47.looking back, they were not the point, the key was looking ahead,

:16:48. > :16:52.and saying where do we need to go, what are the challenges ahead?

:16:53. > :16:58.Viewpoint around Russia and the Chinese, reminded America we are in

:16:59. > :17:02.a fine balance between rugged individualism, which Americans love,

:17:03. > :17:07.the entrepreneur, the kid with the idea, also the common set of values.

:17:08. > :17:13.America is one of the most patriotic countries in the world, that is our

:17:14. > :17:18.strength. Obama has been criticised for not waving the flag. In this

:17:19. > :17:24.speech, he went further planting a flag in the ground, saying believing

:17:25. > :17:30.everything we stand for. Again, I wish she had gone farther. I'm not

:17:31. > :17:34.sure he should have repeatedly said the name Trump declared war with

:17:35. > :17:38.Russia. We are in a middle of an episode where Russia interfered in

:17:39. > :17:44.the US election, a direct challenge to the US democracy. It has to be

:17:45. > :17:48.acknowledged. Obama is a very cautious man. We have a unique

:17:49. > :17:56.president coming in with a unique challenge. That needs to be

:17:57. > :18:00.recognised for fright. You mention technology, the threat from Russia.

:18:01. > :18:04.Overnight has been one of the stories of Donald Trump talking

:18:05. > :18:09.about fake stories, with allegations of the Russians having a dossier

:18:10. > :18:15.with his financial and personal back story. How is that going to play

:18:16. > :18:20.out. That has bemoaned the bigger stories overnight? Every reference

:18:21. > :18:28.to technology in his speech was a cautionary tale. Really interesting.

:18:29. > :18:33.The first online president. President Obama, on Google,

:18:34. > :18:37.Facebook, YouTube, he's the president of social media,

:18:38. > :18:44.21st-century technology, the viral video. He has dominated that space.

:18:45. > :18:47.The fact that every reference of social media was a reminder to get

:18:48. > :18:55.out of the bubble, meet people in real life, really telling where he

:18:56. > :19:00.is taking us. One other thing we talked about was Obama care. That

:19:01. > :19:04.was really important to him. He admitted it did not go far enough,

:19:05. > :19:09.and could be reversed. It definitely could be repealed. What is more

:19:10. > :19:14.important, there is no sign of what it would be replaced with. This was

:19:15. > :19:20.an achievement. 20 million Americans were covered. Sloth the increase in

:19:21. > :19:27.health care costs. Republicans are alleging all those games are fake,

:19:28. > :19:32.and Obama care is some sort of socialism. When we talk about

:19:33. > :19:37.technology and social media, we get overwhelmed by what is real and what

:19:38. > :19:41.is fake. We have health care reform, it should not be ripped up. A lot of

:19:42. > :19:45.stories save his greatest achievement was getting to the White

:19:46. > :19:50.House in the first place. Is that harsh, forgetting what he has done?

:19:51. > :19:56.That is an achievement we need to recognise in the United States. We

:19:57. > :19:59.had to go back to that speech by Michelle Obama, saying the White

:20:00. > :20:06.House was built by slaves. It is an achievement. Ending with the change

:20:07. > :20:12.narrative is interesting. I thought the speech was going to be about

:20:13. > :20:17.hope, but it was about change, but not Barack Obama's change, but how

:20:18. > :20:21.America needs to change to take ourselves forward. Slightly less

:20:22. > :20:27.optimistic than they farewell address should have been from this

:20:28. > :20:28.president. We have to move on. Thank you very much. We could go on for

:20:29. > :20:36.hours, fascinating. Here's Carol with a look

:20:37. > :20:46.at this morning's weather. The mixture of sleet and snow in the

:20:47. > :20:52.next few days, icy roads, and today gales. If you are travelling take

:20:53. > :20:59.extra care. The further north you travel, the stronger the winds is

:21:00. > :21:02.likely to be, and actually are. Wintry showers across Scotland,

:21:03. > :21:08.across Scotland, Northern Ireland and England we are looking at severe

:21:09. > :21:13.gales, with exposure. Blizzards on the hills. Treacherous conditions

:21:14. > :21:20.over the tops of the Pennines. Watch out on the M6 the to in high sided

:21:21. > :21:26.vehicles. Coastal gales as well. Wind pushing into East Anglia, not

:21:27. > :21:31.as windy as it is further north. The drizzle in the south, that will

:21:32. > :21:35.fade, some sunshine coming through. Wintry showers increasing across

:21:36. > :21:45.Scotland, some of those at lower levels. Some of us will see them.

:21:46. > :21:49.Could see one or two overnight. If anything they will become more

:21:50. > :21:55.prolific in these areas. The risk of some ice on untreated surfaces. The

:21:56. > :21:59.wind will be too strong for Frost. Although that wind will start to

:22:00. > :22:05.come down. This next area comes in, this one is problematic. Rain coming

:22:06. > :22:09.in from the West, moving east. Engaging with the cold arctic air.

:22:10. > :22:14.Where we have backlash we will see some snow. Across the South, snow

:22:15. > :22:20.across the moors, into the south-east. In the north, wintry

:22:21. > :22:24.showers across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England, even

:22:25. > :22:29.at lower levels. The wind is easing, but still some blizzards. Tomorrow

:22:30. > :22:34.will feel cold. Where we have the snow, this area could change, coming

:22:35. > :22:38.further south. Keep in touch with the weather forecast tomorrow. In

:22:39. > :22:42.between, drier conditions. Wherever you are, it will feel cold. In the

:22:43. > :22:48.wind, more like this, temperatures below freezing. The added hazard is

:22:49. > :22:53.also ice. Not out of the woods at the end of Thursday. Losing

:22:54. > :22:58.low-pressure into the continent. The wind is veering to a

:22:59. > :23:09.Northerly. Along the east coast we're looking at gales, wintry

:23:10. > :23:13.showers again. Also some big waves. There is the risk that locally down

:23:14. > :23:18.the East Coast we could well see some coastal flooding. A luck in the

:23:19. > :23:26.weather forecast, today wind, tomorrow snow, then back to the wind

:23:27. > :23:29.again on Friday. More in half an hour's time.

:23:30. > :23:31.More needs to be done to help families living with dementia

:23:32. > :23:35.That's the finding of the first academic study looking at how

:23:36. > :23:37.the condition affects those in the countryside.

:23:38. > :23:39.It's called for an increase in support services and training -

:23:40. > :23:42.and help from the local community itself, as John Maguire

:23:43. > :23:48.The bucolic beauty of our rural landscapes and communities often

:23:49. > :23:53.mask some of the challenges of living here.

:23:54. > :23:58.The isolation, the lack of services and the scarcity of support.

:23:59. > :24:00.In the first report of its kind, Plymouth University has studied

:24:01. > :24:02.the impact of dementia in the countryside and what

:24:03. > :24:11.Things like support networks with other families who are going

:24:12. > :24:13.through a similar situation would be enormously helpful,

:24:14. > :24:17.some of our families said, to help them cope.

:24:18. > :24:20.Perhaps not in the local area, perhaps somebody else upcountry

:24:21. > :24:24.so you don't have that public sort of...

:24:25. > :24:38.We're meeting this farmer and his mother.

:24:39. > :24:43.Her husband Eric had dementia for the last ten years of his life.

:24:44. > :24:47.The old adage is that farmers never retire, they keep going,

:24:48. > :24:57.He still wanted to do what he could, but it still had quite an impact

:24:58. > :25:00.on us, particularly from the carer side of it, because, Mum,

:25:01. > :25:18.It started about 15 years ago and when Eric was diagnosed at least

:25:19. > :25:22.he went to day care two days a week and that was a great help.

:25:23. > :25:25.The Plymouth University report has several key recommendations,

:25:26. > :25:34.among them, where possible, farmers should plan ahead

:25:35. > :25:37.Councils, health and other agencies should co-ordinate to offer support

:25:38. > :25:42.and there should be more dementia awareness training.

:25:43. > :25:45.This memory cafe in the town of Ashburton is run by volunteers

:25:46. > :25:49.It offers memory stimulation for patients and respite

:25:50. > :25:52.for carers and, elsewhere, there is specialist help available.

:25:53. > :26:02.Form filling, or farm inspections, just to make sure they aren't

:26:03. > :26:07.missing out financially as well, and we can also offer practical help

:26:08. > :26:10.on farms if they are struggling maybe to do tasks like TB testing.

:26:11. > :26:13.Our volunteers can make sure we can go on the farm and do practical

:26:14. > :26:15.things as well to help in the short term.

:26:16. > :26:19.Ian Sheriff chairs the Rural Dementia Group.

:26:20. > :26:34.Sometimes as a community or culture you go for radical strategies.

:26:35. > :26:36.Strategies won't change this world, Prime Ministers won't,

:26:37. > :26:40.we will in our rural community and we will have to do it ourselves.

:26:41. > :26:42.Dementia can be cruel and devastating, but this report

:36:37. > :36:46.She did buy foods and things, but added extras. And rent. Cat is here

:36:47. > :36:52.with a last look at the sport. Manchester United continue to win.

:36:53. > :36:55.Nine in a row now and they play Liverpool on Sunday. Liverpool play

:36:56. > :36:58.their League Cup semifinal tonight, and it is a big fixture in the

:37:04. > :37:06.Jose Mourinho said after last night's match that his players

:37:07. > :37:10.weren't good enough, he wasn't good enough and the fans were not good

:37:13. > :37:17.they must do better on Sunday, so come on Manchester United fans, a

:37:18. > :37:20.battle from Jose Mourinho ahead that Liverpool match.

:37:21. > :37:23.Manchester United will take a 2-0 advantage into the second leg

:37:24. > :37:25.of their League Cup semifinal against Hull City.

:37:26. > :37:28.Wayne Rooney couldn't find the goal which would have made him United's

:37:29. > :37:31.all-time top scorer but Juan Mata put them ahead after the break.

:37:34. > :37:40.Liverpool go to Southampton for the first leg of

:37:41. > :37:43.Jurgen Klopp was criticised for the young team he fielded

:37:44. > :37:46.in the FA Cup but is expected to bring back his big

:37:47. > :37:50.As long as you are involved, it is the most important Cup,

:37:51. > :37:54.That is how we see it and so, Southampton, for example,

:37:55. > :37:57.if you want to talk about intensity, they had a more intense time

:37:58. > :38:00.than we had so there is no advantage for one side.

:38:01. > :38:07.The Fifa President says expanding the World Cup will improve

:38:08. > :38:14.After a vote yesterday, an extra 16 teams will take part

:38:15. > :38:17.in 2026, making 48 in total, and Gianni Infantino believes

:38:18. > :38:27.It's time to open to the world a competition like the World Cup,

:38:28. > :38:30.a celebration of football, like the World Cup.

:38:31. > :38:34.The competition that makes the world stand still and focus on an event.

:38:35. > :38:37.If we look at how football has developed in the last decades,

:38:38. > :38:39.the last years as well in particular, we can see

:38:40. > :38:42.that the quality of football has become higher and higher

:39:02. > :39:03.in Los Angeles from March 2nd - just seven weeks away.

:39:04. > :39:06.Storey says she's been pressing for a date to be named

:39:07. > :39:09.UCI President Brian Cookson has defended the decision saying that

:39:10. > :39:11.holding the championships for the first time in

:39:12. > :39:19.a post-Paralympic season signifies "notable progress".

:39:20. > :39:21.Johanna Konta is through to the semi-finals of

:39:22. > :39:22.the Sydney International after beating Daria Kasatkina

:39:23. > :39:27.The British number one had to come from behind in the second set

:39:28. > :39:30.Konta will play former Wimbledon finalist Eugenie

:39:31. > :39:43.Bouchard billed as one of the rising stars of tennis but I would not bet

:39:44. > :39:51.against Johanna Konta. Thank you very much.

:39:52. > :39:53.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will today visit

:39:54. > :39:56.a centre run by a charity which supports bereaved parents.

:39:57. > :39:58.Prince William is royal patron of Child Bereavement UK,

:39:59. > :40:00.which also offers help to children who have experienced

:40:01. > :40:03.Graham Satchell has been to meet a family

:40:04. > :40:08.You may find some of the details in this report upsetting.

:40:09. > :40:15.If I got moody with her dad, she would be like, come on,

:40:16. > :40:25.She was full of life, full of smiles.

:40:26. > :40:28.She knew me better than I knew myself.

:40:29. > :40:32.Olivia Chandler died six years ago after an asthma attack at school.

:40:33. > :40:47.We both didn't know what to do or what to say to one another.

:40:48. > :40:57.I wanted to cry, but I didn't want to cry in front

:40:58. > :41:03.I had to be strong for the rest of the family.

:41:04. > :41:19.How do you cope with the death of a child, a daughter, sister?

:41:20. > :41:21.We aren't what I would call a normal family anymore,

:41:22. > :41:25.it will always stick in my mind, is the fact that Darren turns

:41:26. > :41:36.around to Kayley and says, "It's OK to cry for your sister".

:41:37. > :41:38.And the fact that she turned around and said...

:41:39. > :41:57.For years, you were two peas in a pod.

:41:58. > :42:01.Struggled to talk to each other, struggled with friends

:42:02. > :42:03.who didn't know what to say and then drifted away.

:42:04. > :42:05.But they have had hope, counselling from the charity

:42:06. > :42:09.Many of the families that we see at Child Bereavement UK do talk

:42:10. > :42:12.about the sense of loneliness and isolation that comes from grief

:42:13. > :42:16.and I think we have to chip away at this taboo and try and help

:42:17. > :42:23.decrease the isolation that bereaved families so often feel.

:42:24. > :42:26.I'm not one that likes to show my feelings,

:42:27. > :42:33.so coming here was a bit awkward at first.

:42:34. > :42:37.At the time my sister died, I was going through a bad stage

:42:38. > :42:40.myself, with me getting bullied and self harming, things like that.

:42:41. > :42:45.Me self harming was my way of coping, to take it out

:42:46. > :42:50.I am slowly getting there, just trying to get my life back on track.

:42:51. > :42:53.When I think back to how everything was, even on the day of Olivia's

:42:54. > :42:58.death, we weren't actually there for each other.

:42:59. > :43:02.When we started having sessions together, I mean,

:43:03. > :43:06.to be honest, that was the only time we actually spoke to each

:43:07. > :43:08.other or actually knew how each other felt.

:43:09. > :43:10.Counselling has helped the Chandlers, but their lives

:43:11. > :43:23.I still think I haven't really grieved properly.

:43:24. > :43:29.There's always a song, or there's always a film,

:43:30. > :43:35.or there's always something that's there, and you never forget.

:43:36. > :43:44.It is a really tough subject to talk about, a huge thank you to the

:43:45. > :43:45.Chandler family for talking us about that, and it is a really emotional

:43:46. > :43:46.story. We're joined now by the Bafta

:43:47. > :43:49.Award-winning actor Jason Watkins, who's two-year-old daughter

:43:50. > :43:55.Maude died in 2011. Thank you so much for coming to talk

:43:56. > :44:02.to us and I know it is something that is really important to you as

:44:03. > :44:05.well. Shall we start with Maude, and what happened, and obviously the

:44:06. > :44:13.immediate effects on your family were enormous. Maude, leading up to

:44:14. > :44:16.Christmas 2010, our daughter Maude became ill with a cough and cold,

:44:17. > :44:23.and seem to get worse, heading towards flu, so I took it to a GP,

:44:24. > :44:31.who suggested she go to a drop in a any, a children as my place in the

:44:32. > :44:36.local hospital -- a children A She then was at the same sentence

:44:37. > :44:39.the next day, and she was having breathing difficulties and we all

:44:40. > :44:46.got very worried, displaying all those signs that was sepsis. That

:44:47. > :44:52.was because of it. People are much more aware it now. So we went back

:44:53. > :44:59.to the hospital, my wife and I took her and I stayed. She was monitored

:45:00. > :45:04.for a couple of hours, and then given more medication and then sent

:45:05. > :45:08.home, that was New Year's Eve, we put her to bed, did all the things

:45:09. > :45:13.we were told to do by the medical professionals, and I went in in the

:45:14. > :45:19.morning, firstly, our daughter, our older daughter had been trying to

:45:20. > :45:28.play with her in the bedroom, and she had come in, and then a couple

:45:29. > :45:32.of minutes later I went in, and she had clearly died. So there was this

:45:33. > :45:38.traumatic and terribly painful event for all of us. Obviously

:45:39. > :45:42.particularly my wife, Clara, and our daughter. I tried to revive her and

:45:43. > :45:48.do all those things in another room. Oh, so sorry. I apologise for being

:45:49. > :45:55.slightly graphic about it, but it is an extremely traumatic, and of

:45:56. > :45:59.parents have post-traumatic stress disorder as a result. It is

:46:00. > :46:02.appalling, it is the worst thing you could ever imagine, but I'm only

:46:03. > :46:07.saying it really because we will talk about it a little bit more

:46:08. > :46:12.later, but that trauma does pass. It is important for anybody who are

:46:13. > :46:14.suffering at the moment, in that acute phase of trauma, it does pass,

:46:15. > :46:26.and you do come through that. You wrote a diary entry a couple of

:46:27. > :46:33.weeks after Maude died. I suppose this shows what you are going

:46:34. > :46:40.through. I can't... I've printed it out. I have the resolve this morning

:46:41. > :46:45.after it yesterday's everybody's got a hungry heart, which was playing on

:46:46. > :46:49.the radio and obliterate it me. The thought I had... I will not be seen

:46:50. > :46:52.as the man who lost his daughter and that define me. I've got to be

:46:53. > :46:57.defined as the man who has learned to cope with the tragedy of losing

:46:58. > :47:02.his daughter, and in this way I will carry my family with me. Clara is

:47:03. > :47:09.inconsolable, she has itchy hands and she managed to walk, I carried

:47:10. > :47:14.her into bed. Bess was misbehaving, she was being a bit naughty. Simple

:47:15. > :47:22.domestic things were going on around us. I tried not to show Clara I was

:47:23. > :47:26.crying. You've got your grief, you've got your wife's and your

:47:27. > :47:40.daughter as well. Incredibly devastating for her. What did help?

:47:41. > :47:48.Slow Is an organisation run by parents. After a while we were able

:47:49. > :47:54.to talk to them. That is a group you can contact. What helps is, those

:47:55. > :47:58.friends... You think you are going to reply on your family. My in-laws

:47:59. > :48:01.really helped but of course they were going through trauma as well.

:48:02. > :48:06.It's really those friends who come forward, particularly one or two

:48:07. > :48:13.come to mind, who are not only present. You'd can't get out of bed,

:48:14. > :48:17.you spend days in bed. It's like when you've had an operation and you

:48:18. > :48:23.feel completely obliterated and have no energy. You feel like you're

:48:24. > :48:27.trying to get out of a dark pit, and your heart aches. You feel your

:48:28. > :48:36.heart is broken, you can feel this pain. So people who are there, able

:48:37. > :48:39.just to listen but also do practical things, funeral arrangements, things

:48:40. > :48:48.like that. We had an inquest as well that we had to tackle. Simply by

:48:49. > :48:53.doing very simple things, providing food, you know, you can't say, how

:48:54. > :48:57.are you feeling today, when you're in that state. It's hard for people

:48:58. > :49:01.to find the right words at times, isn't it? It is almost impossible.

:49:02. > :49:06.Some people are very good at it, some people find it difficult.

:49:07. > :49:15.Hopefully I'm better at it now. What about helping Bessie threw it has

:49:16. > :49:19.well, helping a child through enormous pain? I asked her the other

:49:20. > :49:24.day, just to write down what she thought about it. She wrote she was

:49:25. > :49:31.lucky in that she went to see a wonderful man. Extraordinary people

:49:32. > :49:34.come out of the woodwork. Parts of our society and people doing

:49:35. > :49:38.incredible things everyday that you don't necessarily see. Health care

:49:39. > :49:42.professionals, they like guardian angels. One person called Tony who

:49:43. > :49:50.worked for the trust helped our daughter through. She says one

:49:51. > :49:56.entry... She used to go and see Tony and now she doesn't need to any

:49:57. > :50:00.more. She says, when Maude died, I was three. I didn't know what death

:50:01. > :50:05.was. I was in shock for a long time that I would never see her again.

:50:06. > :50:09.Maude will never come back but she will always be in our heart. That's

:50:10. > :50:15.what she wrote the other day. You do learn to accommodate the loss in

:50:16. > :50:18.your life as you go forward. For anyone watching who is struggling

:50:19. > :50:24.with the same issues, I know it never gets better but who should

:50:25. > :50:29.they contact? Child Bereavement UK are a charity I wasn't familiar

:50:30. > :50:33.with. It's a wonderful thing, to be able... Even if a friend of

:50:34. > :50:37.somebody, because you are incapable of doing anything. Even a close

:50:38. > :50:42.friend of somebody who is suffering bereavement of a child or family

:50:43. > :50:46.member contacts but group, they can act as a resource to point you in

:50:47. > :50:57.the right direction. Thank you for coming to talk to us. It is Slow

:50:58. > :50:58.Group and Child Bereavement UK which are the organisations you are

:50:59. > :51:02.involved in. Thank you. Here's Carol with a look

:51:03. > :51:13.at this morning's weather. Good morning, it's windy start to

:51:14. > :51:17.the day. If you are setting out take extra care. We've got strong winds,

:51:18. > :51:25.the further north you travelled the stronger the wind become. Some

:51:26. > :51:29.travel disruption is likely, things like bridges being closed,

:51:30. > :51:36.debridement the roads. Find out more on your BBC local radio station.

:51:37. > :51:41.Blizzards in the hills and mountains of Scotland and across northern

:51:42. > :51:45.England, very windy. The same across Northern Ireland, with some wintry

:51:46. > :51:53.miss on the hills. Around the coasts it is windy. Inland, looking at

:51:54. > :51:58.gusts of 60 mph. In Southern counties it's not a windy as it is

:51:59. > :52:01.further north. The wind will be strong as we go through the course

:52:02. > :52:07.of the day. Still those wintry showers piling in, a mixture of

:52:08. > :52:12.rain, sleet and snow. Further south we will see some sunshine coming

:52:13. > :52:16.through. We'll see that in between the showers and also the showers in

:52:17. > :52:21.Northern Ireland. Overnight the showers become more prolific and

:52:22. > :52:28.heavy. We'll see them across Scotland, northern England and

:52:29. > :52:33.Northern Ireland. Some of those down to sea level as well. The neck

:52:34. > :52:36.system coming in from the south-west is bringing problems. It's just

:52:37. > :52:40.deciding how far north it's going to travel. This is what we think at the

:52:41. > :52:45.moment. As it engages with the Arctic air coming our way, we'll

:52:46. > :52:49.start to see snow. By the end of the night will have snow in the

:52:50. > :52:52.mountains and hills in Wales, and a lot of rain moving across southern

:52:53. > :52:57.areas. That could lead to localised problems with surface water

:52:58. > :53:01.flooding. Meanwhile the slow falling across the moors, heading towards

:53:02. > :53:05.the Midlands, getting over towards Kent, coming through the Home

:53:06. > :53:09.Counties and into East Anglia. All it takes is for the weather front

:53:10. > :53:13.not to come as far north and to be a bit further south, and that will

:53:14. > :53:18.change the whole area where the snow falls. Keep in touch with the

:53:19. > :53:22.weather forecast. Some places could have won - two centimetres, locally

:53:23. > :53:27.we could see ten centimetres. Across Scotland, Northern Ireland and

:53:28. > :53:31.northern England, there will be a plethora of snow showers at low

:53:32. > :53:33.levels as well. Not all of us will see them because there will be

:53:34. > :53:37.showers and bright spells in between. The winds will continue to

:53:38. > :53:48.ease. In between those two areas, dry and bright. Wherever you are it

:53:49. > :53:52.will feel cold. The wind will make the temperatures feel colder than

:53:53. > :54:00.they suggest. Thursday and Friday, below clearing. Gales and wintry

:54:01. > :54:04.showers down the east coast and the risk of some localised, coastal

:54:05. > :54:11.flooding as well. A lot going on with the weather forecast.

:54:12. > :54:15.Two separate letters have been written to the Prime Minister today

:54:16. > :54:18.warning that patients are being let down and lives are being put

:54:19. > :54:22.In the run up to Christmas, BBC cameras were allowed to film

:54:23. > :54:25.the reality of everyday life on the front line in one

:54:26. > :54:27.of England's busiest trusts and the pressure that

:54:28. > :54:43.There's another trauma coming in now. Is this shooting coming to us?

:54:44. > :54:47.Two lines of cocaine, unknown quantities of vodka and beer. A

:54:48. > :54:52.28-year-old male stabbed three times. Seven men with guns have gone

:54:53. > :55:01.into a building, someone isn't moving. What about trauma beds? What

:55:02. > :55:06.beds have you got for me? The minute we have bed problems, usually due to

:55:07. > :55:10.patients not being able to leave the hospital at the other end, we end up

:55:11. > :55:15.in this state. This man needs to go to ITU.

:55:16. > :55:17.Tim Muffett is live this morning from St Mary's hospital

:55:18. > :55:19.in Paddington which features in the series.

:55:20. > :55:28.We talk every day virtually about situations facing those who work and

:55:29. > :55:31.use the NHS, what have you got for us today? This is one of the

:55:32. > :55:36.hospitals featured in that documentary series. It is a busy

:55:37. > :55:42.trauma centre. There's been a 10% increase in A patients over the

:55:43. > :55:46.past 12 months. That means there's 150 new cases every day, in addition

:55:47. > :55:50.to the number of cases they would expect before. This documentary

:55:51. > :55:54.provides a real insight. Leslie Powell is the site manager. Why was

:55:55. > :56:00.it important to allow the cameras in? We wanted to showcase that

:56:01. > :56:04.despite the challenges we face, our staff do incredible work, and our

:56:05. > :56:08.patients get amazing care. Let's have a look at another clip. In this

:56:09. > :56:12.one there is a morning meeting taking place, we have to take these

:56:13. > :56:18.difficult decisions as to where resources can be allocated. There's

:56:19. > :56:23.currently no cubicles anywhere in A for any new patients. OK, not a

:56:24. > :56:29.great start to a Monday morning you guys, then. We are in a very similar

:56:30. > :56:33.position to charring Cross this morning, very full and busy. Let's

:56:34. > :56:37.have a look at the beds. It's probably easier for me to say what

:56:38. > :56:43.we've got which is nothing at the moment. Priorities for us is to sort

:56:44. > :56:47.out the unplaced patients in the emergency department. We'll pick up

:56:48. > :56:52.surgical electives in ten minutes. I think we will go out on read this

:56:53. > :56:57.morning, then. Thank you very much, everybody. Will speak again at

:56:58. > :57:02.lunchtime. In that situation we saw you talking about a code red

:57:03. > :57:06.situation, what is that? A code red happens usually once a week, often

:57:07. > :57:10.more frequently. It is the hospital's way of letting ourselves

:57:11. > :57:14.that we need everybody to help us because we are starting to have not

:57:15. > :57:18.enough beds we need to treat the patients we've got coming through

:57:19. > :57:22.our emergency department or our elective patients. The head of

:57:23. > :57:26.emergency medicine say you are firefighting every day, do you go

:57:27. > :57:30.along with that and how bad does it get? It's a very challenged

:57:31. > :57:34.environment, the modern NHS is very challenged. I wouldn't say we

:57:35. > :57:37.firefight, I would say we have a lot of skilled staff who work incredibly

:57:38. > :57:43.hard every day to do the best we can for our patients. Tim Orchard is the

:57:44. > :57:48.divisional director of medicine and integrated care. Why did you want to

:57:49. > :57:51.allow TV cameras in? We wanted to allow people to see the decisions

:57:52. > :57:54.that were made that allow people to get the care they need. Very often

:57:55. > :57:59.you just see the headlines and there's a lot of thought that goes

:58:00. > :58:02.into trying to make sure that the patients get the treatment they need

:58:03. > :58:06.and a lot of effort. You see it throughout the programme that people

:58:07. > :58:11.are trying hard to make sure patients get into hospital and get

:58:12. > :58:13.the treatment they need. There's almost eight competition between

:58:14. > :58:17.elective surgery and emergency surgery, you've got to make very

:58:18. > :58:21.difficult decisions, how hard is that? I think it's the inevitable

:58:22. > :58:28.consequence of having an Acute Hospital where you're both elective

:58:29. > :58:31.work and emergency work. At any time emergencies can disrupt your

:58:32. > :58:35.original pattern of work. You always have to make the best decisions for

:58:36. > :58:39.the patients in front of you. For some patients it's a matter of

:58:40. > :58:43.minutes and hours, for others it's a matter of hours and days. You can

:58:44. > :58:47.see that nicely illustrated, you have to make these decisions based

:58:48. > :58:50.upon whose care in the immediate future will make the most

:58:51. > :58:54.difference, it's pretty tough sometimes. There's another bit in

:58:55. > :58:58.the documentary talking about if there was a major incident it would

:58:59. > :59:02.be very hard to cope. We knew if there was an outbreak of something

:59:03. > :59:07.like the flu, the way it was looking at the end of October and November,

:59:08. > :59:11.it was going to be tough. As a result of that we've planned so that

:59:12. > :59:14.when we got into the difficult period that everyone in the NHS has

:59:15. > :59:18.experienced in the last week or two, those plans came to fruition, and

:59:19. > :59:23.that allowed us to keep our patients safe.

:59:24. > :59:34.Forgiven much indeed. It is -- thank you very much indeed. It is an

:59:35. > :59:37.insight into the decisions that take place in a busy hospital like this.

:59:38. > :59:40.And you can see Hospital tonight on BBC Two at nine o'clock.

:59:41. > :59:42.The heroic actions of a sailor who was born profoundly deaf has

:59:43. > :59:45.seen him beat Olympic medallists and world record holders to one

:59:46. > :59:50.Gavin Reid, who's from Edinburgh, won Yachtsman of the Year

:59:51. > :59:52.for leading a massive rescue during the Clipper

:59:53. > :59:58.What's even more remarkable is that he had zero sailing

:59:59. > :59:59.experience before taking up the challenge.

:00:00. > :00:11.With the trophy on the server as well. What was it like to receive

:00:12. > :00:16.this, ahead of Olympic heroes and some of the greats in the game?

:00:17. > :00:23.Well, I went into the day with no expectations, so to come away with

:00:24. > :00:26.such a prodigious award, previous winners like Dame Ellen McArthur, it

:00:27. > :00:30.was just an unbelievable honour and I'm only pleased with it. And very

:00:31. > :00:35.well-deserved. Take us through what happened. You are on a round the

:00:36. > :00:40.world race, another yacht gets into trouble, what did you do? We were on

:00:41. > :00:43.the clip around the world yacht race when we had a distress call about

:00:44. > :00:48.midnight off the coast of Australia. A man had been stranded, so we

:00:49. > :00:54.stopped our racing and proceeded to make haste to their boat. Then I

:00:55. > :00:58.jumped into the water, because the conditions were really, really

:00:59. > :01:02.rough, and then I went up to help and handle him. You make it sound

:01:03. > :01:06.really simple there, but the water was so rough that you couldn't get

:01:07. > :01:10.the votes together, so you had to jump in. We consider guy on the top

:01:11. > :01:16.of the mast stuck there. When you say it unravelled him, it took two

:01:17. > :01:27.hours. Yes, he had been up there for seven hours already, so he was

:01:28. > :01:29.getting a bit panicky. I was up there for about two hours, getting

:01:30. > :01:32.battered about myself, and just constantly trying to unravel it, it

:01:33. > :01:34.required a lot of patience. A lot of patience and bravery as well. Did

:01:35. > :01:38.you think about that at the time, or was there too much adrenaline? Yes,

:01:39. > :01:42.there was a lot of adrenaline, I had never sell before so it was all very

:01:43. > :01:46.new to me. Thankfully did gets in training from Clipper, who were very

:01:47. > :01:54.helpful and safety minded. It was just kind of off-the-cuff. Why you?

:01:55. > :01:57.Why were you the person who went in? Well, madly I volunteered. Thinking

:01:58. > :02:02.back to it maybe should not have done. It was just one in the

:02:03. > :02:06.morning, and I said I would do it, because I had been up masts before

:02:07. > :02:10.and I had to do the job. Was happening with the crew of the other

:02:11. > :02:14.boat, they were incapacitated in some way? You had to do this

:02:15. > :02:21.otherwise they would have been stranded. Unfortunately there were

:02:22. > :02:27.only five other crew members on the vote, one already had a broken man,

:02:28. > :02:30.one had all the attempted a rescue and had fallen seasick, and there

:02:31. > :02:35.were only two other people on the boat. Things could have turned out

:02:36. > :02:41.considerably worse for them. About 12 hours later, we got hit by 100

:02:42. > :02:46.knots of wind, and we were blown quite far, but they actually got

:02:47. > :02:49.beat later on so it could have been a lot worse. Tell us about the

:02:50. > :02:55.future, because you are new to sailing, you have won this

:02:56. > :02:58.incredibly award, what next? Sailing around the world has ignited a real

:02:59. > :03:04.passion to continue doing it. Next up for me is to try and go

:03:05. > :03:08.professional, try and maybe do some training, certainly gets on

:03:09. > :03:12.qualifications and just really take advantage of this opportunity. I

:03:13. > :03:17.would have you about any day, if I had one. My dad is almost deaf, and

:03:18. > :03:21.he has two lip-read a lot, so the idea of being out on the sea,

:03:22. > :03:25.dealing with all that and the background noise is remarkable,

:03:26. > :03:30.congratulations. Thank you. And it is one of the best rookies I think I

:03:31. > :03:33.have ever seen. It is lovely. Thank you to coming in.

:03:34. > :03:36.In a moment, we shall be taking to the pool table so Dan can

:03:37. > :03:39.try his hand at potting a few balls with the man behind what's been

:03:40. > :03:43.Can't get much worse, really, can we? Thanks!

:03:44. > :03:45.Millions of people have now watched the video of the stunt

:03:46. > :03:48.which involves a golf club, two flights of stairs,

:03:49. > :04:46.that is the epic put on by this man, Shane O'Hara. You have brought into

:04:47. > :04:54.the studio for us, this is slightly less dramatic but should be possible

:04:55. > :04:59.to do. In theory, it should be easier, but my credibility is in

:05:00. > :05:08.tatters. From early on. That was down to Louisa's effort, letters --

:05:09. > :05:14.let's chez Watts happened earlier. He we go, Minchin, this is the big

:05:15. > :05:23.test. You need to hit it a little harder than that. That is officially

:05:24. > :05:27.the worst trick shot ever. I have put pressure on myself, because

:05:28. > :05:31.Louisa said I have to have a go. Theoretically all the boys should --

:05:32. > :05:36.or the ball should go one in each pocket. In theory. You are worried

:05:37. > :05:46.about this, aren't you. Ready, come on, Walker, time to deliver the

:05:47. > :05:52.goods. Come on! Yes! Right, I am retiring, goodbye everybody. I have

:05:53. > :05:54.to say massive respect to you, Dan. Anyway, I'm going to go and try and

:05:55. > :05:56.practice later. Coming up, we'll be hearing

:05:57. > :05:58.how to live for a year First a last, brief look

:05:59. > :06:01.at the headlines where I'll be back with the lunchtime

:06:02. > :07:50.news at 1.30 on BBC One. You are still smiling, aren't you.

:07:51. > :07:53.Let's never mention it again. I know you will! Until after the programme!

:07:54. > :07:55.If you've ever regretted blowing a few quid on something frivolous,

:07:56. > :07:58.then you might want to take some pointers from our next guest.

:07:59. > :08:00.Financial journalist Michelle McGagh was so sick of wasting cash,

:08:01. > :08:03.she challenged herself not to spend her money on anything

:08:04. > :08:05.but the absolute essentials for an entire year.

:08:06. > :08:17.She has done it. You managed to achieve it, you have written a book

:08:18. > :08:21.about it as well. What kicked this thought off in your mind? Were you

:08:22. > :08:26.worried about frivolously spinning your cash? Yes, it was a little bit

:08:27. > :08:29.to do with cash, I am a financial journalists I spent ten years

:08:30. > :08:33.telling other people what to do their money and not taking my own

:08:34. > :08:36.advice. A couple of years ago, I bought a new house, me and my

:08:37. > :08:40.husband, put all our stuff in the storage unit, living with the very

:08:41. > :08:45.basics. Back to the storage unit now and again and every time I went back

:08:46. > :08:50.foot why have I got all this stuff? The day came and I looked in the

:08:51. > :08:54.storage, and there was a box that said not needed, and I thought why

:08:55. > :09:00.have I got it. We got rid of about 80% of our possessions. How? Did you

:09:01. > :09:03.sell them? Sought a lot, gave a lot of friends and family, donated to

:09:04. > :09:09.charity, and then I heard about buy nothing day. I thought I bet I could

:09:10. > :09:13.do that for a yet, so I did. So you usually have to spend money on some

:09:14. > :09:18.things, so what did you choose is the essentials? I had to pay my

:09:19. > :09:22.mortgage, my utilities, like council tax, also my broadband and phone so

:09:23. > :09:25.I could work. So the things that you sort of have two spent to keep a

:09:26. > :09:30.roof over your head. But there was no impulse buying, you did not

:09:31. > :09:34.budget for holidays. Obviously food was in there, but anything else, you

:09:35. > :09:37.when walking down the high street thinking that is a nice pair of

:09:38. > :09:41.shoes or whatever. Definitely not. They were completely out of the

:09:42. > :09:46.question. I had a food budget as well, and I was about it. After the

:09:47. > :09:48.direct debits go out like they do at the beginning of the month for

:09:49. > :09:54.everybody, then I just had my food budget and that was it. What did you

:09:55. > :10:03.miss most, that would be the question? Lots of things I missed, a

:10:04. > :10:06.girls's holidayed to Ibiza, which was hard, everyone had a great time

:10:07. > :10:11.without me. Those easy thing like going to the pub with your mates are

:10:12. > :10:14.going out to dinner with your family, I had to find new ways

:10:15. > :10:17.around all of that. One thing I really did miss was moisturiser

:10:18. > :10:23.because it did not go on the essentials list. You should have put

:10:24. > :10:26.it on! I really regretted it, after the first winter, I did not have a

:10:27. > :10:30.transport winter, so every bit of travelling was on my bike or by

:10:31. > :10:35.foot, so I looked pretty weatherworn by the end of the year. Speaking to

:10:36. > :10:39.Peter Davidson yesterday he went on this sugar free farm, he came off

:10:40. > :10:43.sugar like everyone else did, but then eventually he saw the benefits

:10:44. > :10:48.of not being on it. Did it become a positive experience by the end?

:10:49. > :10:52.Definitely. Financially obviously it is a good idea not just a waste

:10:53. > :10:57.money, to put money towards longer-term goals. That is always a

:10:58. > :11:02.good plan, but there is also lots of, almost like a lifestyle benefit

:11:03. > :11:06.of realising I didn't actually need to buy things to make me happy. I

:11:07. > :11:10.think a lot of people get sucked into that, we buy something because

:11:11. > :11:12.we are happy or we are sad all we are treating ourselves or just

:11:13. > :11:17.because we are bored, and maybe spending without thinking. I think

:11:18. > :11:20.if you have got disposable income and you have got money that you

:11:21. > :11:24.could possibly put to something bigger, a longer term goal, maybe we

:11:25. > :11:29.should be doing that, rather than just frittering it away. Some people

:11:30. > :11:32.will be working on incredibly tight budgets and doing exactly what you

:11:33. > :11:38.had to do because they have two as well. That's true, exactly true, and

:11:39. > :11:41.there is a very distinct line between poverty and frugality.

:11:42. > :11:46.Nobody chooses to live in poverty but we can choose to be frugal if we

:11:47. > :11:48.do have the disposable money. We have to bear in mind that people are

:11:49. > :11:53.budgeting to the absolute pounding this country, but if you do have the

:11:54. > :11:56.disposable money I think we have the responsibility to make the right

:11:57. > :11:59.decisions with it. Do you feel guilty when you pop into

:12:00. > :12:04.supermarkets for one thing and you end up spending ten or ?15, has

:12:05. > :12:07.changed the way you think about that? Yes, I definitely don't do

:12:08. > :12:11.that any more. I was one of those people, come home from work, you pop

:12:12. > :12:15.to the mini Metro supermarket and think I will just get some pasta and

:12:16. > :12:19.sauce, and you end up spending 15 quid and you're not sure where that

:12:20. > :12:23.money has even gone. I definitely don't do that any more, everything

:12:24. > :12:26.is organised, planned, budgeted for. You mentioned about social life,

:12:27. > :12:31.missing out on the girls holiday, going to the pub, you just

:12:32. > :12:36.presumably could not do that, so how did you see your friends? I did not

:12:37. > :12:42.live like a hermit for a year, and I was a bit worried about that. And

:12:43. > :12:47.you're not asking them to pay for you either? No, definitely not. The

:12:48. > :12:50.first few months was quite difficult, because I was trying

:12:51. > :12:54.almost to live my old life but the free and that did not work, and it

:12:55. > :12:58.made me a bit unhappy and a bit isolated. As the weather changed and

:12:59. > :13:03.spring came round, I thought OK, you can actually get out and about now,

:13:04. > :13:07.and even just going for a walk with a friend, rather than going to the

:13:08. > :13:11.pictures, go out for a walk, I lived in London, so I've got a wealth of

:13:12. > :13:15.museums and galleries and free events on my doorstep. To be honest,

:13:16. > :13:18.I was maybe just a bit too lazy to take advantage of them before. It

:13:19. > :13:25.was easier to go to the pub. What has changed the most? Probably my

:13:26. > :13:29.attitude, I am a lot more outgoing, adventurous, just willing to say yes

:13:30. > :13:30.now to a lot more things. Thank you. Thank you for saying yes to coming

:13:31. > :13:32.on. Lovely to speak to you. "The No Spend Year: How I spent less

:13:33. > :13:36.and lived more", is out tomorrow. That's all from

:13:37. > :13:37.Breakfast this morning. We'll be back tomorrow

:13:38. > :13:40.morning from six. We asked you who's left you feeling

:13:41. > :13:43.ripped off when it comes to your holidays and you came back with

:13:44. > :13:50.a catalogue of travel disasters. It's a nightmare.

:13:51. > :13:53.Wake me up from it, please.
