16/01/2017 Breakfast

Hello this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

Donald Trump praises Brexit and promises a quick trade deal

with the UK, when he becomes President.

Speaking to the Conservative MP and Leave campaigner,

he said he thought the Uk was doing great

and had been "so smart in getting out."

The heat took was unbelievable. People do not want other people

coming in and destroying their country.

And with just days to go until Donald Trump's inauguration,

Jon has the first in series of special reports from the US.

Good morning from a freezing cold Milwaukee. We are taking the

temperature of public opinion in the week Donald Trump becomes president.

Good morning it's monday the 16th of January.

Northern Ireland's power-sharing government is expected to collapse

today triggering a snap election to the Stormont Assembly.

into the deaths of 30 British tourists killed in a terror attack

on a Tunisian beach a year and half ago.

The pound falls to a 31-year low, after reports suggest

the Prime Minister will push for a hard Brexit.

I'll look at what it means for us and our money.

Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City

are out of the Premier League title race

While Manchester United rescue a point against Liverpool,

The draw moves Liverpool up to third place.

Good morning. The weather this week is quiet and benign compared to last

week 's top today cloudy with patchy rain and a drizzle but some of us

will see sunshine. Donald Trump has promised a trade

deal between Britain will be a priority when he takes

office on Friday. He was speaking to the former

justice secretary and prominent Brexit campaigner,

Michael Gove, for The Times, in his first British interview

since becoming US President-elect. Here's our political

correspondent, Vicky Young. Theresa May is about to tell us more

about how she thinks the UK can prosper outside the EU. The critics

say the economy will suffer if Britain leads the single market and

is no longer able to trade freely with the EU. Donald Trump says he

will offer Britain are quick and fair trade deal with America. I

thought the UK was so smart and you were there and you were in the front

page, Donald Trumps saying that Brexit was going to happen and it

happen. Everybody thought I was crazy. Obama said they are going to

the back of the line, meaning if it does happen any had to retract. I

think you are doing great. Mr Drummond said he will work very hard

to get a deal done weekly and properly and predicted other

countries will lead to the EU, claiming it had been deeply damaged

by the migration crisis. Countries want their own identity and the UK

wanted its identity. They had been forced to take all the refugees, so

many and all the problems that entails. If not you would not have a

Brexit. The offer is a boost to the Prime Minister who insists Britain

remains open for business. The President-elect said the two leaders

will meet right after he gets to the White House.

How did you think the government will respond? Number ten will be

encouraged by the wall words towards it. The bombastic way Donald Trump

embraces everything about the UK, including the Queen. They will like

what he says and the contrast with what President Obama was saying

before the referendum about written being at the back of the queue --

Great Britain. The change in tone could not be more stark. It is

interesting view, a big scoop or the times. Michael Gove, a prominent

Leave campaign, Donald Trump saying that Britain should leave the EU. He

talks interestingly about Donald Trump believing the refugee crisis

was a big reason Britain voted for Brexit. He thinks that was a factor

and we also learnt Theresa May wrote to Donald Trump after Christmas

saying she hopes the UK and the US have a close friend turned all

relationship, citing that between Churchill Stand the US during World

War Two. Plenty more on all of these throughout the morning. We will

speak to James Rubin at ten past seven. Michael Gove is well, we will

talk to him. A group of MPs and organisations

from both sides of the Brexit debate have launched a manifesto for how

Britain's departure from the EU The Brexit Together Manifesto says

it's time for all sides to "leave the referendum trenches"

and join forces to create a strategy that reflects the

country as a whole. The movement is backed by MPs

who campaigned for both The pound has fallen sharply

against the dollar ahead of Theresa May's speech

on how Britain will leave The currency is being

affected by fears that the Prime Minister will opt

for a so-called "hard Brexit". Astonishing figures for the pound?

It has been taking a bit of a hammering over the weekend in Asia.

This is the first opportunity the markets have had to react and it

suggests Theresa May will opt for hard Brexit leaving the customs

union and the single market at the same time and business are worried

about what it will mean for their fortunes. The pound, 31 Ye low. --

31 year low. The right to reason that they are worried. The customs

duty with Europe our biggest trading partner but also what it means for

the clean break, will it mean we have trade deals, will we start

tilting towards America. That is the real worry. If you are a business

good news but not great news for all of us if we are travelling abroad

because our money will not go as far. Lots of questions. So many.

Northern Ireland's devolved government looks set to collapse

today, after Sinn Fein again insisted it would not replace

Martin McGuinness as Deputy First Minister at Stormont.

Under the rules of the power-sharing system, his resignation last week

also forced the removal of the Democratic Unionist leader,

Sinn Fein has until 5 o'clock this evening to name Mr McGuiness'

replacement, otherwise a snap election could be called.

For a week, a part of the UK has been without a

When Martin McGuinness of Sinn Fein resigned

as Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister,

he automatically put the Democratic Unionist Party leader

Arlene Foster out of her job as First Minister.

That is the way the power-sharing system works.

The party's relationship finally failed over a financial scandal

But the partnership between Unionists and Irish Republicans has

There are many disagreements between them.

The Stormont stalemate means an election is likely

However, the British and Irish Governments have held

talks with the parties to try and avoid that.

But, with no sign of a breakthrough, a breakdown is looking imminent.

Today at the Northern Ireland assembly, the DUP and Sinn Fein have

been asked to nominate new members for first minister and deputy First

But Sinn Fein say they will not do so, so the devolved Government

The law says the Northern Ireland Secretary, James Brokenshire,

must call an election within a reasonable period of time.

Negotiations to try and restore power-sharing would follow,

but no-one believes it would be an easy process.

Devolution has lasted for almost a decade in Northern Ireland,

but Stormont may not survive its most serious crisis.

The inquests into the deaths of 30 British holidaymakers

killed in a terror attack in Tunisia are due to open

at the Royal Courts of Justice later today.

In total, 38 tourists were killed by a gunman,

who targeted a beach near the town of Sousse in June 2015.

The first week of hearings will see organisations including

the Metropolitan Police, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

and the owner of tour operator, Thomson Holidays, give evidence.

Lives lost - 30 at people were killed in total, 30 British,

including three generations of the same family, married couples and a

teenager. All had been staying at Hotel Riu Imperial Marhaba in the

popular resort of Port El Kantaoui in Sousse. They stood little chance.

Seifeddine Rezgui will later be shot by security forces. Over the next

seven weeks, inquest hearing will be heard here. 30 victims coming from

across the UK, proceedings will be fed to courts elsewhere, including

Newcastle and Cardiff. A senior figure from the Foreign Office, and

from the parent company from Thompson, the travel agency used by

the victims will give evidence. Within the scope, the family want to

know about the security arrangement of the 5-star hotel where they were

staying on whether the travel advice of a high risk of terrorism

including in tourist areas was given to them before they left. It

shattered the lives of those who lost family members. They have

waited a long time to hear in detail what happened to their loved ones

and whether any lessons could be learnt.

Premier League football clubs should face legal action

if they don't do enough to ensure access for disabled fans,

according to a report by a committee of MPs.

The Culture Media and Sport Select Committee says

it's disappointed some clubs aren't doing more

after a BBC investigation in 2015 found that

17 out of 20 failed to provide enough wheelchair spaces.

The clubs say making alterations to older grounds

The RSPCA is urging the public to double check

after the charity received a string of calls from people

mistaking inanimate objects for live creatures.

In November, the charity was called out to investigate reports

of an owl, which had been sitting on a roo for four days -

only to discover it was made of plastic.

That might be my favourite story of the day. The alp is fine!

An endangered baby rhino has been filmed meeting her father

for the first time, at Knowsley Safari Park.

The calf has been named Nomvula, which means mother of rain.

and was born as a part of a special breeding programme.

The mother is 21-year-old Maroo. Nomvula is her sixth calf.

We are doing well, plastic owls and Rino news.

You can see more of this story on Inside Out North West,

tonight at 7:30pm and after that on the BBC iPlayer.

Andy Murray dropped his opening service game

in his first round match of the Australian Open.

We should have said Sir Andy Murray. Well they have not done so at the

Australian Open. The world number one eventually took

the first set 7-5 he is 5-5 down in the second set

to Ukrain'es Ilya Marchenko. The Britihs number 4, Aljaz Bedene

has already been knokced out Manchester United's winning run

is over but they come from behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic's late goal

cancelled out In the day's other

Premier League game, Manchester City were

thrashed 4-0 at Everton. Teenager Ademola Lookman,

with a goal on his debut. Despite scoring their highest ever

total against India, England's cricketers lost the first

one day international They must win the final two

matches to win the series. Let's take a look at

this morning's papers. Loads of the front pages have gone

with, I'll start with the Times, they have a big interview with

Donald Trump, we will be speaking to Michael Gove about this later, this

is what he says. He has one of the messiest desk side ever seen. In

front of him he's not only got papers and books but also hats, this

is one of the fake desks you don't ever do any work at. It looks like a

desk where you would do lots of work. It's in neat piles as well. If

people saw underneath your desk they would say something. There's the

messy side and the untidy side. Louise has home-made porridge so

there's a dividing line. The Times did the interview but it makes all

of the papers, they have done their own analysis, this is the Daily

Telegraph. Trump declaring Britons were right to vote for Brexit and

once a quick trade deal to make it a six test. It's in the Guardian as

well. I'm interested to see how quick is in practical terms, we will

talk about it later. That picture is going through the inauguration. They

are practising, this isn't obviously the President-elect. They have been

practising the swearing in. I wonder if he has a messy desk! The Daily

Mail, this is another one. Meghan Markle, the family have been

defending the gun charge of their her brother in the US. The front

page of the Daily Mirror. The NHS faces a winter funding crisis. Some

people say it's a long story, man makes money from business he owns.

And this story about the girl abducted when she was hours old and

being reunited with her real month. Extraordinary story. Ben. Shall we

start in Davos? It is that time of year where Davos begins, the big

gathering in the Swiss Alps of all the world leaders. And Jamie Oliver?

Yeah, but this year it's interesting, the telling thing is

who isn't there rather than who is, some leaders have gone, Angela

Merkel, Francois Hollande, Justin Trudeau isn't going, the Canadian

Prime Minister. Shakira, will.i.am, Jamie Oliver is there and it always

gets criticism because it's a big knees up, high security, skiing,

they all do wonderful things. This year the theme is responsible

leadership. Interesting with Trump and Brexit but it comes at the same

time were an Oxfam report says eight billionaires own as much as half the

rest of the world's poorest. Half of the rest of the world's poorest own

as much as eight people. It shows the mismatch and that is why Davos

gets criticism. These guys are there to try and change it. I was on the

radio a few years ago and the producer said will.i.am is in Davos

and he wants to speak to you, he just came on and chatted about Davos

for ten minutes. I've been there a couple of times for this job and all

the real work gets done at the dinners and parties, not these big

formal sessions during the day. Did he ask for you personally? He had no

idea who I am and still doesn't, but he wanted to speak to someone. What

did he talk about? IPods. He is very into technology, isn't he? The

newspapers are going on about Manchester against Merseyside. Pep

giving up on city's title. The worst defeat in Pep Guardiola's managerial

career given it's only January. Guardiola throws in the towel after

18-year-old Davies and 19-year-old Lookman with the goals for Everton.

David Gale lost his front tooth after his fight with Jack in New

York. They're talking about a possible rematch. Shall we talk

about fat cats? Here's a fat cat in a pool. He lost for lbs apparently

having swimming lessons. Is it plastic or a real cat? It is a real

cat but why cat would want to swim, I don't know. He can do 12 lengths

in 45 minutes! Wow. That is impressive swimming from Charlie the

cat. Excellent. Here's Carol with a look

at this morning's weather. The weather this week is much

quieter than it was last week. Today for most of us it will be fairly

cloudy and damp with sunlight and pantry raider and drizzle but some

later will see some sunshine. You can see we've got a weather front

which is moving east through the day -- son and damp rain and drizzle.

Some hill fog. Northern Ireland, largely dry but cloudy and damp all

England, through the Midlands to the south, and again parts of Wales,

parts of East Anglia, we got thicker cloud and also light rain and

drizzle. The odd burst of rain coming out of that weather front,

though. A cold start from the Yorkshire moors to the south-east.

Here in the far south-east today you could see sunshine, as you could in

parts of north-east Wales, north-east Scotland, possibly the

very far north of the north-east of England but that's also where we've

got the weather front not far away so quite a bit of cloud. Not a cold

day in the west, cooler in the east despite the fact we're looking at

sunshine. As we head on through the evening and overnight, we still have

a weather front fizzling in nature, the one coming in across Scotland

will continue south, a lot of hill fog around tonight. Under clear

skies in the south-east you may well find a touch of mist and fog and

possibly frost. Elsewhere it should be frost free. Then into tomorrow on

a weather front, coming south it is still doing that here, still murky

conditions, still a lot of cloud around, south-east favoured best for

sunshine and the wind is picking up in the north-west as well.

Temperature wise, we're looking at 11 in Glasgow and Belfast, ten in

Aberdeen but cooler down towards London despite the fact we have some

sunshine at only six. From Tuesday into Wednesday, you can see from the

squeeze on the isobars, the wind picking up in the Northern and

Western Isles, far north-west of Scotland, high pressure building

into southern areas. The weather this week is really quite settled.

Variable amounts of cloud again, sunny breaks to the south, windy in

the north and north-west and here too we have some rain. As we head

into Thursday, a bit more of the same, quite a cloudy day with some

spots coming out of that cloud but the brighter skies will be in the

south-east. Temperatures around eight Celsius so you won't be

writing postcards to anyone over that temperature.

Doctors' leaders say a system designed to check decisions made

by GPs is leading to unacceptable delays in diagnosis and treatment.

The warning comes as a BBC investigation has discovered that

hundreds of thousands of patients are having referrals

from their family doctors reviewed by third parties.

So-called referral management centres are being used

in more and more areas of England to examine

and sometimes reject decisions from GPs.

NHS managers say it helps them keep costs down,

For Tracy Jeffries, house work is no claims it puts a barrier

For Tracy Jeffries, house work is no longer a painful chore. But only

because she paid nearly ?3000 for an operation on her leg. I was in so

much pain with my leg, 24 hours a day. I wasn't sleeping properly, I

was struggling to get through my work. The pain was caused by

varicose veins. Her GP wanted them treated on the NHS but his referral

was rejected. Tracey had to go private. If a GP feels a specialist

needs to look at you then the NHS should be supporting that and

they're not. Tracey's treatment was blocked by something called a

referral management centre. Some are in by doctors, others by admin

staff. Last year they screened 2 million referrals on behalf of the

NHS, a rise of almost 30% compared to two years before. 4%, nearly

84,000, were rejected, mostly for admin reasons, like missing

information. Doctors' leaders are strongly opposed to what they say is

a blunt form of rationing. These centres, which are taking a crude

approach to scrutinising all GP referrals, can be inefficient, cost

more to run than any potential saving, but crucially in the process

delaying patient care. There are 60 referral management centres in

England and one in Wales. Gatekeeping what are often expensive

hospital-based services. We've not found similar setups in Scotland or

Northern Ireland. Those who commission NHS care said the system

delivers value for money. We don't want to squander any money, we have

limited resources so it's really important the resources we have we

spend most effectively and get the best value for our population.

Referral management is, for now, a relatively small part of efforts to

manage rising demand. But its use is increasing and that means more GPs,

like Tracey's, are likely to see their decisions scrutinised and even

overturned. Jenny Walrond, BBC News. We'll

hear from American voters I'm hoping that from an economic

standpoint Trump reflects giving that stability back to the country.

This is one of the most important jobs in the world and I'm not

certain that he's for it. In the week that Donald Trump

becomes the 45th commander-in-chief, we're taking a Breakfast road

that this morning. The opening

Grand Slam tournament of the year is underway with Andy Murray

in action in Melbourne. The world number one is the top seed

at the Australian Open, but he's not having an easy time

against Ukraine's Illya Marchenko. It took Murray almost an hour

to win the first set 7-5. And the second set

went to a tie break. He has won that in the last few

minutes. Fellow Briton Aljaz Bedene

their last nine games - trailed for nearly an hour

until Zlatan Ibrahimovic headed in the equaliser as the side's

shared the points for the second Liverpool was much more defensive.

They defended with tempo is in the second half. When you have good

players, you always smell the possibility of a counter-attack but

today was the reverse. It Let's see if the critics are fair. 80 minutes

of high intent will all is really hard to say when I saw the boys, a

new and hoped for a little bit of luck but unfortunately we didn't

have much in the second. We had enough. All good.

Manchester City's title hopes were dealt a big blow

as they were thrashed 4-0 at Everton.

Romalu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas opened the scoring, before teenagers

Tom Davies and Ademola Lookman, on his debut, added two more.

It's Pep Guardiola's heaviest league defeat as a manager.

You cannot plan a game like this. Everybody knows it is always

difficult against city. They play some great football but I think the

second half for us was perfect. In every aspect of football. OK, we all

conceded too many chances and we created enough to put it in balance.

But you have to put it in the net in order to win.

Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president

of the United States. His election to the White House

followed one of the most bitter and divisive campaigns in history,

and many have questioned how the new leader will

unite the country. To find out, we've sent Jon Kay

on a road trip along the iconic Route 45 - travelling

from North to South - straight through

the heart of America. Today, in the first of a week-long

series of reports, he's in Winsconsin - a state

that elected Mr Trump Milwaukee, known for its harsh

winters, for making cheese and beers and now for its role in America's

fragile new politics. This is no place for fragile. The junior ice

hockey. This is the Green Bay Junior Galette. He likes Donald cart

because he is different, a nonpolitician, an outsider. --

Donald Trump. An alternative that is outside of the box. He is a

billionaire, not exactly every man. No, he's not the Bury Saint to be

said for him being able to relate to a plumber, a welder, a teacher. The

State's largely working-class electorate normally vote Democrat

but this time they chose Donald Trump. They love giving new things

and try, like soccer on ice. But might Donald Trump president C end

up feeling like this? Your gloves and nearly as big as my hands.

Engineer Jason is confident. After nine redundancy threats in six

years, he says it is time for a businessman in office. It'll be nice

to have more stability on the job front. I hoping he reflects giving

that stability. Are you more optimistic for your personal

economics? Absolutely. Confidence on the ice is another matter, for me at

least. Turnbull and Dean! Some of America's top ice at least actors on

this rink. You are not doing that as much. Nancy was an Olympian and is

now a coach. It is time to be a little risky. She told me Donald

Trump can bring a winner's mindset to the White House. He makes a

decision and gets it done. Did you have any reservations about his

personality? I think everybody behind it has some reservations

because they do not know the truth behind that and they are hoping in

this point in his life he has put that behind him. Wisconsin voted for

Trump that only by 1% and some are still struggling with the result.

This is one of the most important jobs in the world and I not certain

he is prepared for it. This hockey mum is willing to give the new

president a chance even though as a Muslim she is worried by some of his

comments. I tried to look at the bright side. We have to wait and see

what happens. Are you saying you are a little nervous stop yes, I might

be. You prepared to support him? Not quite prepared but prepared to

initiate change to support him. What does that mean? Change my way of

thinking, trying to find the good. It is time for us to get our skates

on. Donald Trump will be the 45th president of America so we are

heading down Route 45, travelling 1000 miles, hearing from voters.

Tomorrow we will be in Chicago, to reflect on President Obama's legacy.

Apparently tomorrow he's going to Barack Obama's favourite diner.

you're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

Donald Trump has used his first UK interview as President-elect

to promise a rapid trade deal with Britain -

predicting Brexit will be "a great thing".

Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly

are to gather at Stormont facing the prospect

that the power-sharing administration will collapse.

Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

Good morning. It is fairly cloudy and damp for some today. In fact at

the moment in the Isles of Scilly, the temperature is 10 Celsius,

Dover, one Celsius so a wide range of temperatures on either side of

this weather front, producing the cloud and damp conditions. Later in

the early afternoon we see another weather front in the north of

Scotland. At 8am we will see the effects of the weather front in the

east of Scotland with some rain, the rest of Scotland fairly cloudy and

murky. Northern Ireland, cloudy and dry. As we come across England, you

can see all the cloud, the light patchy rain and drizzle, the odd

burst drifting to the west. Still mild in the west, ten in Plymouth.

Shared by quite a few places in the west. Through the day where we have

our weather front, the North Yorkshire amours to the Isle of

Wight, will hang on to the cloud and the damp conditions. From the Wash

to the west Sussex area, more sunshine and more cloud to the west.

Some breaks, north-east Scotland will see some sunshine and parts of

north-east Wales and possibly northern England, but more unlikely

here. At the same time we have a weather front coming in a cross

Northern Scotland. Through the evening and overnight, this first

front fizzles almost in situ and the second sinks further south taking

the rain with it and the wind will pick up in the north-west. In

between, clear skies. In the south-east there could be rain

patchy fog and a touch of frost and we could start to see clear skies

developing further west as well. On Tuesday itself, a south-east sunny

region, here we will have lower temperatures. This weather front is

producing all the cloud and some spits and spots here and there. The

other break from the cloud will be in parts of the Central Lowlands but

generally a lot of cloud around and higher temperatures in the

north-west. As we go from Tuesday into Wednesday, a squeeze on the

isobars and it will turn windier in the northern and western isles,

north-west Scotland but high pressure is building in further

south. The weather once again during Wednesday, very quiet. On Wednesday

the best sunshine will be in southern counties and into the

south-west and up through central areas. Meanwhile, more rain coming

in to the north-west of Scotland and temperatures here still hanging on

at ten. Lower than that as we go further south. On Thursday itself,

quite a bit of cloud around, one or two brighter breaks and the cloud

thicken off for the odd spot but most will get dry weather and then

later some rain showing its hand in the far north-west -- dig enough

for. Temperatures 8-10. On Friday, a fairly quiet week weather-wise. --

thick enough for. Temperatures were they should be for this time in

January. It was a bit hectic last week so we

will take a quiet week this week! The Labour MP Caroline Flint,

who was a Remainer, helped I know it covers many issues, shall

we talk about trade? You're all talking together, what kind of trade

deal would you like to see? This is the first time we have had a joint

initiative and that's because we want the best deal for Britain and

we recognise there will have to be a consensus and compromise from both

the Leave and Remain point of view. Now, part of that is how can we make

sure we have as much access as possible to the single market, trade

with the other 27 member states, and also them trading with the UK as

well, but also recognising that control of our sovereignty and

controls on immigration, particularly on of movement, has to

be part of the deal as well and we believe if we work together we can

achieve that in a real and positive way that is good for Britain and our

relationship with the EU. You think there is no need to sacrifice one

for the other? I don't. The reality is we will be leaving the European

Union so we will not have the same relationship in the single market as

we currently do. At the present time we have a say about the rules of

that single market. Leaving the European Union we won't have that so

it will be different. There's an opportunity here to come together

and focus on what we can do constructively rather than all the

things that are negative. Tomorrow Theresa May has an opportunity to

actually on behalf of the country try bring people together and that

requires her to be more open and willing to engage with different

parties but also different organisations to achieve the best

deal for Britain. Let's talk about immigration and you're talking about

a new system offering Britain control of unskilled immigration, we

talk all the time about numbers on it but how do you decide if somebody

would be allowed in? Overwhelmingly and certainly as a Doncaster MP, the

biggest concern of my constituents and has been open access in low pay,

low skilled jobs. There should be a two tier approach, we should

recognise the rights of EU nationals here just like we want Brits abroad

to be recognised. But importantly people aren't so worried about

students coming here or filling shortages in high-paid jobs, they

are worried about the low pay, low skilled sector. We think there

should be to tears and the low skills sector should be looked at on

a sector by sector basis and if that means restricting the numbers coming

into certain sectors, so be it, and that's what the British people want.

Looking at the FTSE today, the index blooming, Donald Trump said this

morning that the UK would get a trade deal with the US within weeks,

do you think the Remain campaign over played the negative impact on

the economy that any vote to leave would have had? There was a lot said

in both campaigns that have left the public feeling I think quite baffled

at some of the rhetoric. That's why our initiative today, to say leave

the trenches behind, let's get together in the interests of

Britain. We have to recognise control of sovereignty and

immigration was uppermost in the minds of those who voted to leave

but we need an importantly good relationship with the EU and of

course getting a deal with the US would be a fantastic opportunity as

well. But we need to make sure we can be more constructive about what

we need to do, talk about the details of what a deal would look

like rather than emphasising and concentrating on everything that

might go wrong. Carolyn Flint, thank you for joining us on Breakfast this

morning. Record highs for the stock market,

but record lows for the pound. The pound is down sharply

against the dollar over fears that the Prime Minister could push

for a so-called Hard Brexit. Sterling is now down about 20%

since the vote in June. But at the same time,

the index of our leading 100 shares, 12 of those setting

new record highs. That's good news for anyone

with a pension or investment But it's not necessarily

representative of the health of the UK economy because most

of the firms listed on it Tom Stevenson is with me

to explain what's going on, Good morning. How significant? We

saw that rise, 14 days of rises, 12 of those set records, put it into a

bit of context for us. Both of those are extremely unusual. We've had 11

days of rises before in a row, we've had a consecutive record rises in a

row but you have to go back to 1997 when Tony Blair won the election.

That's 20 years ago when we had that run of eight consecutive records. A

very unusual event. Why? It tends to be they go hand-in-hand, the FTSE

rising as the pound falls, but why are they both doing what they're

doing? There's a couple of reasons why the FTSE 100 is so strong, one

is a general improvement in investor sentiment as investors focus on the

potential for higher economic growth with taxcutting antiregulatory and a

higher spending president, Donald Trump. That's one reason. --

taxcutting and regulating. Something like 70% of earnings among the

biggest companies are made outside the UK. A weak pound is good, it

makes our exports more competitive and it makes the value of those

profits earned overseas when they're converted back into Sterling Moore

valuable. Not so good if we import things from overseas because it

means they go up, like oil, energy, that could lead to higher inflation?

-- more valuable. That's the flip side, it can lead to inflation and

companies that import goods, retailers or example, they buy goods

priced in dollars and they sell them in pounds. It's bad news for them

but also individuals because your holidays abroad will be more

expensive, and the price of petrol, and clothes, will be more expensive.

This is where we are now, no one saw these rises, especially people that

didn't predict Brexit or Trump, what about the next six months? It could

be telling because we see more on Brexit and also Trump. The last two

months have been a period of optimism and expectation about what

2017 would bring. 2017 is going to be the year of delivery or not.

Really Donald Trump needs to deliver on economic growth and the UK

government needs to deliver on its plan for Brexit. If we don't see...

If we don't see either of those then the stock market might become

nervous and we could get a wobble later in the year. We will talk

again. Tom, for now, thank you, Tom from Fidelity International. More

from me after 7am. Time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. on air on BBC Radio London and she's

looking at pharmacists in London, who say funding cuts could put

them out of business. Hello this is Breakfast,

with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. Donald Trump praises Brexit

and promises a quick trade deal with the UK,

when he becomes President. Speaking to the Conservative MP

and Leave campaigner, he said he thought

the Uk was doing great and had been "so smart

in getting out." People do not want other

people coming in and And with just days to go

until Donald Trump's inauguration, Jon has the first in series

of special reports from the US. Good morning from a

freezing cold Milwaukee. We are taking the temperature

of public opinion in the week Good morning it's monday

the 16th of January. Northern Ireland's power-sharing

government is expected to collapse today triggering a snap election

to the Stormont Assembly. into the deaths of 30 British

tourists killed in a terror attack on a Tunisian beach

a year and half ago. The pound falls to a 31-year low,

after reports suggest the Prime Minister will

push for a hard Brexit. I'll look at what it means

for us and our money. But the Scot market is heating new

record highs. Andy Murray is serving for the match

at the Australian Open first round. Temperatures in the next 24 hours

not too dissimilar. A weather front producing a lot of cloud, brighter

skies in the south-east. Donald Trump has promised a trade

deal between Britain will be a priority when he takes

office on Friday. He was speaking to the former

justice secretary and prominent Brexit campaigner,

Michael Gove, for The Times, in his first British interview

since becoming US President-elect. Here's our political

correspondent, Vicky Young. Theresa May is about to tell us more

about how she thinks the UK can prosper outside of

the European Union. Her critics say the economy

will suffer if Britain leaves the single market and is no longer

able to trade freely with the EU. But the President-elect Donald Trump

says he will offer Britain a quick and fair trade deal with America

within weeks of taking office. And he contrasted his approach

to President Obama's. I thought the UK were so smart

in getting out and you were there and you guys wrote it and put

it in the front page, Trumps said that Brexit

is going to happen and it happened. That was when I was

going to lose easily. Obama said they are going

to the back of the line, meaning if it does happen

and he had to retract. In other words, we're

at the front of the queue? Mr Trump said his team will work

very hard to get a trade deal done quickly and done properly and it

will be good for both sides. He alse predicted that other

countries will leave to the EU, He alse predicted that other

countries would leave to the EU, claiming it had been deeply damaged

by the migration crisis. Countries want their own identity

and the UK wanted its own identity. But I do believe this,

if they had not been forced to take in all of the refugees,

so many with all the problems that entails I think you

would not have a Brexit. Mr Trumps' offer of a rapid

trade deal is a boost to the Prime Minister who insists

Britain remains open for business. The President-elect said the two

leaders will meet right Our political correspondent

Ben Wright is in Westminster. And absolutely fascinating to see

that interview. With regards to the trade deal, how we click or anything

like that be done? It would take a while and I thought it was

interesting that Michael Gove asks the President-elect to say they are

in the front of the queue and that is an invitation that Donald Trump

does not take. He does not say we are at the front of any queue

because, frankly, the to-do list all president elect Trump is long. The

question is, after Britain has left the European Union, will it get as

good or a better deal with the US as it has now. It is complicated stuff

that we can expect to take quite a while to Signoff but on the whole,

number ten should be encouraged by what they heard. He sounds like a

fan of Britain, an enthusiast for Brexit. Theresa May wrote to him

just after Christmas, reinforcing the view that she wants the US and

UK to have a close relationship just like Churchill and the US during

World War Two. Number ten will be encouraged by the warm words they

getting from the man who will be US president. We will speak to Michael

Gove and to the former US State Department spokesman Rueben. -- John

Rueben. A group of MPs and organisations

from both sides of the Brexit debate have launched a manifesto for how

Britain's departure from the EU The Brexit Together Manifesto says

it's time for all sides to "leave the referendum trenches"

and join forces to create a strategy that reflects the

country as a whole. The movement is backed by MPs

who campaigned for both They include Caroline Flint. There

was a lot said that have left the public feeling quite baffled with

some of the rhetoric and that is why our initiative today, to say leave

the trenches behind and get together in the interest of Britain and

recognise that sovereignty and immigration was in the minds of

voters. The pound has fallen sharply

against the dollar ahead of Theresa May's speech

on how Britain will leave Is it all about hard Brexit? Your

top two stories having a great impact on the value of the pound and

the stock market. To start with the pound, it has fallen to record lows

in a speech Theresa May is expected to talk about a hard rack set.

Prioritising that control over immigration over the single market.

--A hard Brexit. Europe is our biggest trading partner and that

could affect economic growth. The pound is down about 20% since our

vote in June. The huge impact. It is good news because it makes our

exports more competitive, we might sell more but it has an effect on

what we buy from overseas and makes imports more expensive, especially

things like oil which means petrol prices that could push up inflation

and it have an effect on our pockets. New record highs, rising

consecutively for 12 sessions. That is really a view that America, a

stronger economy, expected to pick up a lot of Frederick boosting the

global economy. The FTSE 100 and the stock market doing pretty well. The

pound falling. There is a concern about the mismatch and what it could

mean to our pocket. Northern Ireland's devolved

government looks set to collapse today, after Sinn Fein again

insisted it would not replace Martin McGuinness as Deputy First

Minister at Stormont. Under the rules of the power-sharing

system, his resignation last week also forced the removal

of the Democratic Unionist leader, Sinn Fein has until 5 o'clock this

evening to name Mr McGuiness' replacement, otherwise a snap

election could be called. For a week, a part of the UK has

been without a When Martin McGuinness

of Sinn Fein resigned as Northern Ireland's

Deputy First Minister, he automatically put

the Democratic Unionist Party leader Arlene Foster out of her

job as First Minister. That is the way the

power-sharing system works. The party's relationship finally

failed over a financial scandal But the partnership between

Unionists and Irish Republicans has There are many

disagreements between them. The Stormont stalemate means

an election is likely However, the British

and Irish Governments have held talks with the parties

to try and avoid that. But, with no sign of a breakthrough,

a breakdown is looking imminent. Today at the Northern Ireland

assembly, the DUP and Sinn Fein have been asked to nominate new members

for first minister and deputy First But Sinn Fein say they will not do

so, so the devolved Government The law says the Northern Ireland

Secretary, James Brokenshire, must call an election

within a reasonable period of time. Negotiations to try and restore

power-sharing would follow, but no-one believes it

would be an easy process. Devolution has lasted for almost

a decade in Northern Ireland, but Stormont may not

survive its most serious crisis. The inquests into the deaths of

30 British holidaymakers killed in a terror attack in Tunisia

are due to open at the Royal Courts

of Justice later today. In total, 38 tourists

were killed by a gunman, who targeted a beach near the town

of Sousse in June 2015. It remained the deadliest attack in

Britain since the thousands five. Lives lost - 38 people

were killed in total, 30 of them British -

they included three generations of the same family, married

couples and a teenager. All had been staying at the 5-star

Imperial Marhaba Hotel in the popular resort

of Port El Kantaoui, near Sousse. Their attacker appraoched

from the beach. The holyday-makers stood

little chance against Seifeddine Rezgui would later be

shot by security forces. Over the next seven weeks,

the inquest hearings will be heard here in London at the

Royal Courts of Justice. But reflecting the fact that the 30

victims came from across the UK, proceedings here will be fed

to courts elsewhere, including in Sterling,

Newcastle and Cardiff. Witnesses will include a senior

figure from the Foreign Office, and from the parent company

from Thompson, the travel agent used The families want to know

the answer to the question, how did their loved ones

come by their deaths? Within the scope that the coroner

has set out, they also want to know about the security arrangements

of the 5-star hotel where they were staying and whether

the travel advice given by the FCO that there was a high risk

of terrorism including in tourist areas was given to them

before or after booking. The attack decimated the tourist

industry in Tunisia and shattered the lives of those who

lost family members. They have waited a long time to hear

in detail what happened to their loved ones and whether any

lessons can be learnt. We will be speaking to an eyewitness

later on, at 18. Premier League football clubs should

face legal action if they don't do enough to ensure

access for disabled fans, according to a report

by a committee of MPs. The Culture Media and Sport

Select Committee says it's disappointed some

clubs aren't doing more after a BBC investigation

in 2015 found that 17 out of 20 failed to provide

enough wheelchair spaces. The clubs say making alterations

to older grounds They're out just four days to go

before Donald Trump is inaugurated and there are always plenty of

headlines. Michael Gove has secured the first UK interview with the

President-elect. The focus was abroad with the matter of Brexit

firmly on the agenda. James Rubin was a spokesman during Bill

Clinton's term and most recently a senior media adviser for Hillary

Clinton. Good to have you on BBC breakfast. Some of our viewers said

it would be a big stake to leave the EU. Donald Trump says Brexit will

and are being a great thing. What have you made of Donald Trump's

first UK interview? It is not a big surprise, I guess, if you believe

Donald Trump's position he took during the campaign were going to

change and he was going to suddenly become much more presidential

figure, much more diplomatic and unwilling to criticise people from

far away and you are going to be surprised. It took some shots today

at the German Chancellor, who is pretty widely respected around the

world. He was pretty much the same about Mrs Merkel as he was about the

Russian leader, Vladimir Putin. He is still being Donald Trump and Rana

Singh a lot and being very blunt. -- still promising a lot. Do you think

foreign policy will be weaker as a result of leaving the EU is make we

will see what happens as things evolve. If you believe Mr Trump, the

EU is starting to collapse and that Britain leaving was the first step.

This is a president who does not seem to have a strong tie to

international bodies. He does not particularly like Nato either. The

US foreign policy is going to change a lot under Donald Trump. If you

like, the last 60 years of working with European, Asian allies, having

freedom and democracy, free markets growing through American leadership,

you are not going to like what is coming next because it is going to

be very protectionist, not supportive of the Nato allowance,

unusually only with Russia and it will have trade was with countries

like China. Do you think it will be better for

the UK? Obama said if Brexit happened we would be at the back of

the line and Donald Trump didn't give the clearest answer when

Michael Gove asked him, but when asked if he would put them at the

front of the queue he said he thinks it would be great. What do you make

of that? I think they will get priority. Donald Trump will reward

his friends and punish his enemies, that's what he does. Unfortunately

he regards enemies as anyone that disagrees with him. Look, on the

European Union issue, Donald Trump believes the British people made the

right decision and he wants to help the levers. He's going to try to

make a trade deal early on. -- Leavers. But people around the world

and your viewers have to remember it is difficult to make a trade deal.

For instance his son-in-law has said he would make peace in the Middle

East, he said he would solve the Israeli-Palestinian problem, and

that would be great! But I think it's a lot easier to put out a tweet

and say something, we'll have to see if he's as good at doing these deals

as he is at criticising them. From your knowledge and experience, what

would a trade deal with the UK look like? If it's a quick deal how

quickly can it be done? Trade deals are hard because they involve

extraordinary levels of detail, there aren't too many people in the

system around the world that can do them. They really can be counted in

the dozens of trade negotiators that are qualified. With all-time full

out government effort on both sides you could do it in between six

months 28-year-olds if that's all you wanted to do and they would

emphasise the kinds of things Britain and the US are good at --

between six months to a year. It would require big changes in the

focus of all the people in Europe and the UK who have got used to the

British being part of the European Union. I just worry... What I'd be

worried about is those changes would come too fast and the economy would

suffer as a result. James, good to talk to you this morning. Thank you

for your time. Thank you. It will be the year of talking Trump

and Brexit non-stop! We will guide you through on BBC Breakfast! Later

we will be speaking to Michael Gove, who did the interview, at 8:30am. If

you have time can you ask him about the messy desk? I was concerned

about the number of papers on the desk. No room for any actual work. I

can work in a messy environment as you can see!

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

interview as President-elect to promise a rapid trade deal

with Britain, predicting Brexit will be a great thing.

Northern Ireland's devolved Government is expected to collapse

today if Sinn Fein doesn't name a new Deputy First Minister,

Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

It looks miserable, doesn't it? Nice umbrella, though.

Good morning. The forecast for most today is cloudy and also damp. A

weather front is coming right across central parts of England in

particular, that's producing the dampness. Later we have another one

coming into north-west Scotland, which will produce rain. But for

most it is a cloudy start. Not particularly cold first thing across

Scotland, there's a lot of cloud and hill fog. Some rain in the east.

Same for Northern Ireland, lots of cloud but not particularly cold and

then across England we have a weather front producing a lot of

cloud and also patchy rain, the odd heavy burst, and some drizzle and as

we drift to the west, Wales and the south-west, a murky start, a fair

bit of cloud around, hill fog and dampness. Through the day is weather

front edges slightly further east then it will weaken as it retreats a

bit back towards the west. Some sunshine from the Wash to west

Sussex and all points east it will be cooler but look at the

temperatures to the west, 9-11. Here's the weather front in the

afternoon in north-west Scotland. That weather front will continue

southwards through the rest of Scotland into northern England,

fairly patchy so some will miss the rain altogether. Quite a cloudy

night generally across-the-board, except for the south-east where we

will see clearer skies and possibly patchy fog and patchy frost lows of

around two Celsius. As we head into tomorrow, we still have a weather

front producing rain in parts of Scotland and northern England. A

little of that getting into north Wales and a lot of cloud associated

with it. But again, into the south-east, East Anglia, that's

where we see the sunshine with temperatures at their lowest. Behind

it we see brighter skies coming through in parts of Scotland, maybe

the east of Northern Ireland. Temperatures here, ten or 11. Then

from Tuesday into Wednesday, the weather remains fairly benign, high

pressure takes charge of most of the weather and the winds strengthen in

the Western Isles and the bar west of Scotland with a weather front

flirting with a bit of rain at times. For most on Wednesday it will

be dry with quite a lot of cloud. The best of the sunshine in the

south-west, southern counties and also central areas. Temperatures

widely between 7-9, maybe ten or 11 in the far north of Scotland. Then

on Thursday, a bit more of the same, much quieter than last week. Again a

lot of cloud at times, some brighter breaks and sunshine, temperatures

between seven and ten and finally on Friday, you've guessed it, more of

the same. Quite a lot of cloud around, thick enough here and there

for some rain and temperatures between six, seven and eight. No

severe weather on the cards Monday to Friday for sure this week. That

could be my Michael Fish moment, but I hope it's not!

I'm sure it went the! Carol, don't worry! -- I'm sure it won't be.

To most people, lemons might conjure up images of delicious tarts

or refreshing drinks, but one woman decided these bright

to raise awareness of breast cancer symptoms.

You might have seen this image circulating

on social media, it's the Know Your Lemons

campaign, which aims to highlight the range of changes that can point

It was created by Corrine Ellsworth Beaumont, who joins us

Good morning to you. The necklace, very Lennon like. Tell us more about

the campaign, why lemons? -- lemon. It's been difficult to talk about

breast cancer until now because we can't display breasts in public and

cancer isn't a thing people want to talk about very much. When we use

something like a friendly lemon, it allows us to convey a lot of

information because it looks like a breast without being a breast, we

can bypass censorship issues and we can reach people in a way they

haven't been reached before, especially on a global scale. You

have been looking carefully at the image, and I think we can see it,

there are lots of things women and their partners should be looking for

when it comes to their breasts? Exactly. Being aware of breast

cancer symptoms can make a difference when it comes to breast

cancer mortality. Talk us through some of the things, this is the

image, tell us some of the things that you might see when you? It is

always not to talk to a doctor about these symptoms. The most common

symptom will be a hidden lump you can't see but you can feel. It often

feels hard and immovable like a lemon seed, but it can be any shape.

As small as a lemons seed or a thick mass that you feel. It's important

to still get your mammogram because that can detect a cancerous lump

long before you feel it. In some cases breast cancer doesn't present

itself like a lump, so these images can give people the visual to

understand what it is no matter where they live in the role world or

their literacy. WHO has a gold to reduce deaths by cancer by 25% by

the year 2025. -- live in the world. We think the Know Your Lemons

campaign will be pivotal to make that happen with breast cancer, with

people getting involved, educating themselves and others and then

donating to the campaign to reach more around the world. We have 2.2

billion women that need to know this information and if they can find the

symptom, and can report it earlier, particularly in developing countries

where 90% of women that present with breast cancer are at a fatal stage,

that's because they don't know the symptoms and the workers don't know

what to do about the symptoms either. This campaign in one image

for one minute educate a woman and save a life, save a mother, save a

grandmother, that's why I'm so passionate because both of my

grandmothers died of breast cancer and a very close friend so I wanted

to make a difference. Why has it struck such a chord and it has cut

through were so many other campaigns don't? It is friendly, its unique.

When people see the lemons they think, I've never thought of lemons

as breasts before so people will change the way they think about

lemons and it will remind people to check themselves and take care of

themselves. It's easy to share a lemon, it's not easy to share the

standard know yourself type messages because they are usually text and

the visuals that go with them aren't very viral. But this one definitely

is. I'm already looking at the lemons differently! Thank you very

much indeed, a great campaign! To find out more about what symptoms

to look out for and the support available, you can contact

They go 1-0 up in the three match series.

A last-minute try from Chris Ashton denied Scarlets a famous win over

Saracens in rugby union's European Champions Cup.

Scarlets needed a win to keep up their hopes of qualifying

for the quarter finals, but Ashton scored in the final

So it finished as a draw, 22 points all.

That means Saracens are through to the quarter-finals,

but ended Scarlets' chances of getting to the quarters.

38. It's the start of

another working week. And for many families that means dad

working long hours while mum does But according to research

published today, more than a third of fathers say

they'd be willing to take a pay cut to gain more time

with their children. Before we speak to one

dad who did just that, let's see if the fans at yesterday's

Manchester United versus Liverpool match feel that they're scoring

enough extra time with the family. We have flex the worktime so I start

early and finish early and I can work from home if my son is not

feeling well. The main thing for me is to bring him on to the match. I

am lucky I have a very understanding employer. A family man himself so he

understands the pressure. He has been there, done that and

understands the family has stood come first. I find it quite easy,

really. I have three children and make sure I find the time and do

things on the weekend. It is important to take the time and make

the effort and spend time when you can with them. We run a business and

we are both able to get on this score. If we have meetings, we can

kind of slot in and manage our diaries because of being

self-employed. I just tend to bring him to their knees. -- to these

matches. We're joined now by Sarah Jackson,

the Chief Executive of Working Families,

which commissioned this research into fathers' work-life balance -

and also by John Adams, who gave up his job to spend more

time with his two young daughters. What was it like for you? What

brought you to that decision and what were your employers like?

Informally, they were generally very supportive and, if I could give one

example, I tried a couple of different employers and one of them

was quite happy to rearrange my working hours so I could arrive

early and combine that with a nurse. Unfortunately, over time, I was

taken to one side and told that I was not attending certain meetings.

Over time I felt it was untenable and did exactly what working

families have said and took a part-time role in the Sharif. Lots

of different ways to spend time with your daughter? My wife and I had to

discuss it because she works full-time and we thought our

daughters would benefit from having more time with their parents and in

this case it was me. Economic league, I had done some

calculations, I thought we should be OK. My calculations were the off

beam but I think that is the same with many families. You have taken

the time to spend more time with your daughters, we can see them on

screen. Why should employers be concerned about this? This is the

fourth year we have run the modern families index and we have seen

tendencies are among younger fathers to say what we want is equality at

home as well as at work. Fathers, like those interviewed at Old

Trafford, is they want to be fathers involved with their family. The

other thing they are telling us is that they are resentful with the

lack of balance. Did you see things from employers point of view. When

they are under increasing pressure, can you see it from their side as

well is make it lacks a really hard to employ somebody and do their job.

What we have seen over the years is long hours increasing. We are

picking up very strongly that people, men and women, are both

saying a lack of balance at work is causing enormous stress. They do not

eat well, drink too much, do not do enough exercise, do not spend time

with their children. You have a cost to society which we need to take

seriously if the way we are organising work is making people

feel and is keeping them from their children, we need to do something

about it. From your point of view, is it that you have had your

experience and it has changed things for you. Parents, should they be

given special treatment or should it be everyone, being given a little

bit more freedom to be happy? You raise a number of questions. We are

talking about the father. We then have faced the same issues as well.

I would never say that either is more important. It is a serious

issue but the rout some are bigger issues in the whole workplace

culture. People still expect but it is more acceptable for a mother to

bash out of the office and look after an six child. Whenever a

father leaves the office, said Thursday to go and spend the day

with his daughter, his boss may give comments. We will try to read some

comments. If we had a pay cut, we would be in a huge debt, says one.

The cost of living is too high. Do get in touch with us as well.

Twitter, e-mail... Shout! Let's have a look at the weather.

A weather front extending from the north Yorks Moors taking rain with

it as it does. We have some rain in the north-west of Scotland and that

will bring in some rain. For the rest of the UK under the

cloud, it is a mild start, temperatures widely 7-10. We could

see some brighter brakes around Fife. Then in the north of England,

we have a weather front fizzling but still producing mostly light and

patchy rain. Further east, a lot of cloud but the best chance of

sunshine is from the Wash to west Sussex, there's the rain and on the

other side of it, quite a bit of cloud around. Some brighter spells

but the cloud thicken off for the odd spot here and there. A cloudy

afternoon in Wales but with some exceptions, a bit of brightness but

that will be the exception rather than the rule and for most of

Northern Ireland, cloudy and dry but you can see the rain affecting

Scotland and nudging on the door of the north-west. Through the evening

and overnight, our first front fizzles and our second front goes

south across northern England and to north Wales, taking a passing swipe

at Northern Ireland. Under the cloud and hill fog it won't be cold but in

the south-east under clearer skies temperatures will be low enough for

a touch of frost and potentially some mist and fog. Tomorrow we start

on this cloudy note once again with our patchy rain in northern England

and north Wales. Ahead of it the south-east is favoured for sunshine

and we could see some getting into the south-west and also parts of

eastern and southern Scotland, Easton Northern Ireland. Ten or 11

in Scotland and Northern Ireland and for to nine as we go across England

and Wales. From Tuesday into Wednesday, high pressure takes

charge. We still have a squeeze on the isobars in the far north of

Scotland, indicating it will turn windier in the northern and western

isles and the far north of mainland Scotland where we also have a

weather front not too far away. That's likely to bring some spots of

rain for a time but for most of Tuesday it will be dry. Wednesday

will be fairly cloudy and the best chance of sunshine will be in

southern counties of England and also central parts of England, but

that's not reflected in the temperatures because once again the

highest temperatures are in the north. On Thursday, spot the

difference, the weather is so much quieter this week. Quite a bit of

cloud around, some sunshine and a few showers with highs of between

six and ten. Then as we head on into Friday, not a huge amount of change.

Again some bright spells, some thicker cloud and the odd spot of

rain here and there. Certainly a lot different to last week! Thanks, see

you later. The Transport Minister will meet

Volkswagen bosses this week to find out if the car giant

will pay compensation to motorists caught up in the emissions

rigging scandal. It seems unfair because if you're in

America there is compensation, but if you're in the UK nothing but that

could change. The company set aside over ?10

billion to deal with the fall out from this scandal,

but some say they're going to need Last year they agreed a ?12

billion payout to car owners in the United

States affected. That means some motorists

there could get compensation of up The devices are

starting to be removed and the Government has been given

over ?1 million to cover the costs Last week lawyers representing

10,000 motorists started their own With me now is Jim Holder

from What Car magazine. Why the difference, why do they get

?8,000 each for the same problem but here no muggy yet and even if we do

it will be ?3000. It's a very different problem between the US and

Europe. -- money. In the US the emissions regulations are tougher

and in order to fix the cars VW had to make sure there was less space in

the cars so they didn't perform in the same way, in Europe they have

fixed the cars and it's been ratified there will be no

performance changes as a result so no loss for the owner. If you're an

owner you feel duped, you thought it was cleaner than you thought and

based on that you would think you're due for some compensation. The

transport minister is meeting with them, how much power does he have?

That is open to debate. It's a moral debate against a legal one,

Volkswagen will stand very clear to say they haven't broken regulations

in Europe. The regulations are saying they haven't broken them by

fitting these cheating devices. They will come under pressure because of

the moral argument but legally they will stand firm. Does this labour

there the difference in regulation between emissions standards in the

US and Europe, it seems a lot more relaxed in Europe -- does this

labour there. That's become clear as a result of this scandal but we are

going to have the toughest regulations in Europe in the world

later this year and they will roll out over the next 18 months. What

does it mean in terms of reputation for VW? They are keen to draw a line

under this and you think if they can afford it can't they pay something

to make the problem go away? I don't see that happening because of the

scale of the problem, it could be ruinous if they had to pay

compensation across Europe. It has been incredibly damaging but the

irony is Volkswagen sold more cars last year than anyone else in the

world, they became the world's largest carmaker in the face of this

scandal so they're holding up well and they will resist calls for

compensation in Europe. Where are we now, if you have one of the cars

what happens? You should have heard from Volkswagen in the post, 1

million people have been informed of the 1.2 million owners that their

six is ready and by autumn it should be completed. Thanks very much, we

will be waiting and seeing on that one. I will be back after 8am with

more on the fall of the value of the pound. And more on the markets as

well. On Friday, Donald Trump will be

sworn in as the 45th president His election to the White House

followed one of the most bitter and divisive campaigns in history,

and many have questioned how the new leader will

unite the country. To find out, we've sent Jon Kay

on a road trip along the iconic Route 45,

travelling from north to south, straight through

the heart of America. Today, in the first of a week-long

series of reports, he's in Winsconsin, a state

winters, for making cheese and beer and now for its role in America's

who is behind him has some reservations because they really

do not know the truth behind that and they are just hoping at this

point in his life he has put Wisconsin may have voted Trump

and see what happens. Are you saying you

to unite but that it will not be easy.

And tomorrow Jon Kay will be in Chicago, getting reaction

from people visiting President Obama's favourite diner.

We don't know quite yet what the president used to order but no doubt

we will find out. As long as there's Rins there I'll be happy! -- rips.
