:00:08. > :00:10.The US President, Donald Trump, has said he believes

:00:11. > :00:14.torture works when dealing with terror suspects.

:00:15. > :00:16.In his first TV interview since taking office,

:00:17. > :00:23.he said the US had to "fight fire with fire".

:00:24. > :00:30.I want to do everything within the bounds of what you are allowed to do

:00:31. > :00:32.legally, but do I feel it works? Absolutely, I feel it works.

:00:33. > :00:36.The PM Theresa May is travelling to Washington to meet Donald Trump

:00:37. > :00:49.and has vowed to renew the UK's special relationship with the USA.

:00:50. > :00:53.She says she isn't afraid to have a candid conversation.

:00:54. > :00:55.Good morning it's Thursday the 26th of January.

:00:56. > :01:02.Children's health in the UK is lagging behind most other

:01:03. > :01:11.European countries, according to a major new report.

:01:12. > :01:16.We will get the latest economic growth figures later. They are

:01:17. > :01:21.expected to show the economy did pretty well at the end of last year,

:01:22. > :01:23.but with rising prices and a fall in the value of the pound, what will

:01:24. > :01:25.the year ahead have in store? In sport, a Wembley

:01:26. > :01:27.final for Southampton. They knock Liverpool

:01:28. > :01:29.out of the League Cup It has taken Tim Peake

:01:30. > :01:34.to space and back. Now the Soyuz capsule

:01:35. > :01:50.is going to be landing in London. Good morning. Today is a cold start

:01:51. > :01:54.to the day. We've also got a fair bit of cloud around. Some of it will

:01:55. > :01:58.break to see some sunshine and a few of us will see some snow. Wherever

:01:59. > :02:01.you are it will feel raw in the wind. More details in 15 minutes or

:02:02. > :02:02.so. The US President Donald Trump has

:02:03. > :02:08.said he believes that torture can work to get information out

:02:09. > :02:11.of suspected terrorists. But he said he would seek further

:02:12. > :02:14.advice before deciding whether to bring back techniques

:02:15. > :02:17.such as water-boarding. Speaking to the American ABC network

:02:18. > :02:19.in his first televised interview since becoming President,

:02:20. > :02:22.he also repeated claims he'd make Mexico pay for a wall along

:02:23. > :02:26.its border with the United States. Here's our Washington

:02:27. > :02:39.correspondent, David Willis. Could America be set for a return to

:02:40. > :02:44.the interrogation methods of old? A draft executive order suggest it is,

:02:45. > :02:51.-- its commander-in-chief could be preparing to return to the dark days

:02:52. > :02:55.of water boarding a reopening the so-called black site prisons

:02:56. > :02:58.operated by the CIA. In his first TV interview since becoming president,

:02:59. > :03:02.Donald Trump made clear he is considering scrapping an order by

:03:03. > :03:04.his predecessor, that terrorist suspects be treated in accordance

:03:05. > :03:10.with international law. Torture works, the president declared. When

:03:11. > :03:13.they are chopping off the heads of our people and other people and

:03:14. > :03:17.chopping off the heads of people because they happen to be a

:03:18. > :03:20.Christian in the Middle East, when Isis is doing things that nobody has

:03:21. > :03:24.heard of since Middle Eastern times, would I feel strongly about water

:03:25. > :03:29.boarding? As far as I'm concerned we have to fight fire with fire.

:03:30. > :03:32.Reports suggest Mr Trump is also due to announce plans to close America's

:03:33. > :03:38.orders to refugees for a period at least and implement tougher visa

:03:39. > :03:42.restrictions on the distance from certain predominantly Muslim nations

:03:43. > :03:45.with links to terrorism, what is known as extreme vetting. In an

:03:46. > :03:49.effort to quell the influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico, is

:03:50. > :03:52.the Trump has signed an executive order to begin work on building a

:03:53. > :03:56.war between the two nations. A multimillion dollar venture that he

:03:57. > :04:03.insist Mexico will be made to pay for. -- building a wall. Ultimately

:04:04. > :04:07.it will come out of what's happening with Mexico and we will stop those

:04:08. > :04:16.negotiations soon and we will be fully versed by Mexico. So they will

:04:17. > :04:21.pay us back? Absolutely, 100%. That has ruffled the feathers of

:04:22. > :04:24.America's seven neighbour. Mexico's president said they have no

:04:25. > :04:28.intention of footing the bill. The Mexican president is due in

:04:29. > :04:31.Washington next week. He faces difficult discussions with an

:04:32. > :04:34.American counterpart clearly determined to reverse many of the

:04:35. > :04:38.changes brought about why Barack Obama. David Willetts, BBC News,

:04:41. > :04:43.special relationship with the United States,

:04:44. > :04:45.when she addresses Republican A day before she becomes the first

:04:46. > :04:49.international leader to meet President Trump,

:04:50. > :04:51.the Prime Minister will argue for greater co-operation

:04:52. > :04:55.in the fight against terrorism. Our political correspondent

:04:56. > :05:07.Chris Mason is at Westminster. It is an important visit. We will

:05:08. > :05:11.hear special relationship endless is of the coming days. What can we

:05:12. > :05:16.expect? That is the favourite phrase of any British Prime Minister in any

:05:17. > :05:20.era, getting onto any plane and go to the US. We will hear references

:05:21. > :05:25.to the special relationship again and again. Theresa May says it is

:05:26. > :05:28.that relationship that will allow her to be candid in her

:05:29. > :05:32.conversations with President Trump. She set across the Atlantic this

:05:33. > :05:36.morning with a bagful of questions from MPs. They were suggested to her

:05:37. > :05:39.yesterday in the Commons, specifically on torture, for

:05:40. > :05:47.instance, but also on climate change. First stop is Philadelphia,

:05:48. > :05:50.this away day for Republican politicians, the party of the

:05:51. > :05:54.president. We will see the Prime Minister emphasised what she sees as

:05:55. > :05:59.the importance of international organisations like Nato and the UN,

:06:00. > :06:11.that President Trump has been sceptical about. She will also be in

:06:12. > :06:17.the business of making friends. And she will take a Scottish artefact,

:06:18. > :06:22.and old cup. The word dates back to Jaywick, the 17th century. That's a

:06:23. > :06:29.nod to the fact that President Trump's mum grew up in Scotland. All

:06:30. > :06:32.of that is about building bridges, given the team isn't so comp entry

:06:33. > :06:39.about the team, during the election, one of them calling him Trump the

:06:40. > :06:44.chump. And something significant is happening in the building behind

:06:45. > :06:49.you. How significant is it really? What we will get this morning is all

:06:50. > :06:56.things Brexit, because it doesn't go away. We'll get the first detail of

:06:57. > :06:59.the bill that will make its way through Parliament and that's a

:07:00. > :07:03.result of what we heard from the Supreme Court, in a day that will

:07:04. > :07:07.have to be legislation in Parliament in order to start the whole process

:07:08. > :07:12.of divorcing the EU, triggering Article 50. Today we will get the

:07:13. > :07:16.wording of that. It is only the start of the process. We won't get

:07:17. > :07:18.the start of the debate until next week. Thanks for now.

:07:19. > :07:20.Royal Bank of Scotland will take another financial hit

:07:21. > :07:23.for mis-selling risky mortgages in America before the financial

:07:24. > :07:29.The bank, which is more than 70% owned by the taxpayer,

:07:30. > :07:32.could be fined an additional ?3 billion by the US

:07:33. > :07:43.A major report into the health of children in the UK has found

:07:44. > :07:48.an "alarming gap" exists between the rich and poor,

:07:49. > :07:52.with one in five young people suffering as a result of poverty.

:07:53. > :07:54.The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health also

:07:55. > :07:57.suggests the UK is lagging behind most western European countries

:07:58. > :07:59.when it comes to measures such as infant mortality

:08:00. > :08:09.Our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes reports.

:08:10. > :08:17.I'm an emotional wreck. Anxiety, depression and a need to be listened

:08:18. > :08:21.to. These are the themes of short play on mental health, devised by

:08:22. > :08:25.school students in Liverpool. The issues they touch on reflect those

:08:26. > :08:29.in the day's report on the health of children and young people and paint

:08:30. > :08:32.a picture of the UK struggling to match other countries and even

:08:33. > :08:37.falling behind. The evidence have been developing for some time that

:08:38. > :08:41.all is not well with children's health. It is the first time we have

:08:42. > :08:45.put together a proper picture of cross all four countries and the

:08:46. > :08:48.news is not good. Some of the issues that raise concerns over the state

:08:49. > :08:54.of child health include just 34% of babies rested to six months, this

:08:55. > :08:58.than half the rate in Norway. 40% of children in England's most deprived

:08:59. > :09:03.areas are overweight or obese and half of adult mental health problems

:09:04. > :09:08.start before the age of 14. And for the drama group in Liverpool, mental

:09:09. > :09:13.health issues are a real priority. Mental illness is an illness of the

:09:14. > :09:16.brain and they are as valid as any other illnesses to any other part of

:09:17. > :09:20.the body. Just because you can't see it physically doesn't mean it isn't

:09:21. > :09:24.there. Our production will mainly be to get rid of that stigma about

:09:25. > :09:29.mental health and just educate the audience a bit more about mental

:09:30. > :09:32.health. The four governments of the UK are all challenged to consider

:09:33. > :09:36.the impact their policies will have on children. They've responded by

:09:37. > :09:41.restating commitments to improve children's health.

:09:42. > :09:44.Ambulance crews are finding it "increasingly difficult to cope",

:09:45. > :09:46.an investigation into the service in England has found.

:09:47. > :09:48.The National Audit Office said rising demand, recruitment

:09:49. > :09:51.problems and wider NHS pressures meant crews were failing

:09:52. > :10:00.The number of cars built in the UK has reached a 17-year high,

:10:01. > :10:03.but investment fell last year amid uncertainty over the future

:10:04. > :10:05.of the economy following the Brexit vote.

:10:06. > :10:08.Around 1.7 million cars rolled off production lines last year

:10:09. > :10:19.Investment in in the -- in the industry fell last year because of

:10:20. > :10:21.continued uncertainty about the economy, following the Brexit vote.

:10:22. > :10:24.Almost half of all hospitals are failing to meet basic government

:10:25. > :10:26.standards for hospital food, according to data released

:10:27. > :10:29.The Campaign for Better Hospital Food warns

:10:30. > :10:37.The government says standards are improving.

:10:38. > :10:40.Ant and Dec won three gongs at the National Television Awards

:10:41. > :10:42.in London last night, while the BBC presenter

:10:43. > :10:48.Graham Norton was recognised for his services to broadcasting.

:10:49. > :10:52.Strictly Come Dancing's Len Goodman, who retired from the show

:10:53. > :10:55.in December, lost out as the public's choice of Best Judge

:10:56. > :11:02.to the Great British Bake-Off's Mary Berry.

:11:03. > :11:18.Please welcome your host for the night! The National Television

:11:19. > :11:21.Awards bring out the great and the good of the television screen. A new

:11:22. > :11:31.category was introduced this year for period drama, won by Call the

:12:59. > :13:06.She is a hero. We need to get all of the gossip.

:13:07. > :13:10.Too right. I've seen some pictures. Not fit for early-morning

:13:11. > :13:16.consumption, I am told. We are talking about the League Cup

:13:17. > :13:21.semi-final last night. Liverpool seem to have lost their mojo.

:13:22. > :13:29.They've only had one win in seven this year. There was all this talk

:13:30. > :13:31.of maybe being the premiership champions, but not looking good at

:13:32. > :13:32.the moment. Southampton beat Liverpool 1-0

:13:33. > :13:35.at Anfield last night to reach 1-0 up from the first leg,

:13:36. > :13:39.Saints spent much of the match defending before before Shane Long

:13:40. > :13:42.scored in injury time. They'll play either Hull

:13:43. > :13:44.or Manchester United who play their second

:13:45. > :13:51.leg semi tonight. 14 years after last week in the

:15:15. > :15:18.the near continent. Temperatures are not as low as yesterday but

:15:19. > :15:22.nonetheless, temperatures below freezing. You can see what is

:15:23. > :15:26.happening today. All this blew across Europe are sure it is cold.

:15:27. > :15:33.With the wind, we are dragging in this air across the shores. I would

:15:34. > :15:38.show you how it will feel against your skin, as well as the

:15:39. > :15:41.temperatures. A lot of cloud around and we could see snowflakes here and

:15:42. > :15:46.there. Nothing too substantial and also drizzle. If you are out early,

:15:47. > :15:49.watch out for ice on untreated surfaces. You can see the

:15:50. > :15:54.temperatures below freezing. Not quite as low as yesterday. For

:15:55. > :15:57.example except in the south-west. Also looking at a cloudy start as we

:15:58. > :16:02.are across Wales and northern England. A pocket of fog but not in

:16:03. > :16:06.the scale of this week. For Scotland, the far north will have

:16:07. > :16:10.the lion 's share of the Sunshine today. For Northern Ireland, a fair

:16:16. > :16:20.Through the rest of the day, you can speak it will still be called. Some

:16:21. > :16:24.of the cloud will break up. -- you can see. A bit of sunshine coming

:16:25. > :16:29.in, especially for Southern counties and Wales. You hang onto it across

:16:30. > :16:32.the North of Scotland. This is how the temperatures will feel against

:16:33. > :16:36.your skin. If you are stepping out in Newcastle, minus six. The wind

:16:37. > :16:40.will be very strong, particularly in the north-west. It will be a windy

:16:41. > :16:45.day out towards the north-west as well. This evening and tomorrow, the

:16:46. > :16:50.wind veers to a northerly direction and you have a set of fronts coming

:16:51. > :16:55.in, this complicated area of low pressure. That will turn the weather

:16:56. > :16:59.more unsettled. Tomorrow, some early flecks of snow across eastern areas.

:17:00. > :17:03.They will tend to fade and there will still be a lot of cloud around.

:20:40. > :20:43.Can I take you inside to a story which, it is about Happiness. What

:20:44. > :20:51.do you think the secret to Happiness is, cat? Lots of sleep. In our job,

:22:24. > :22:27.side has been taken away and it's not much fun any more but other

:22:28. > :22:30.people are saying that this is where cricket is going and this is the

:22:31. > :22:35.future of the game. Quite interesting. They work it out by

:22:36. > :22:42.calculating the runs multiplied by the difficulty of the catch.

:22:43. > :22:47.Apparently he should have been 90% certain to have caught the ball and

:22:48. > :22:51.he didn't. Thank you very much. We need more statistics. Of course,

:22:52. > :22:54.today's the day that we get the latest stats on how the economy has

:22:55. > :22:57.been doing. This is the latest growth figures.

:22:58. > :22:58.Ben's in central London this morning.

:22:59. > :23:06.How much should we read into these figures, Ben?

:23:07. > :23:13.We are here on the rooftop of the i.e. The because it gives us a great

:23:14. > :23:18.advantage of the city and the rest of London. We will be watching

:23:19. > :23:26.closely to the economic growth figure -- IET. It might be able to

:23:27. > :23:31.make out the shard between those buildings, all the way down the

:23:32. > :23:35.South bank, the London Eye. In the distance, in the darkness at this

:23:36. > :23:40.point the morning, is Big Ben and the houses of parliament. Both fair

:23:41. > :23:45.and the city, they will be taking a close eye on the economic figure. It

:23:46. > :23:51.is for the last quarter of last year. It is expected to have grown

:23:52. > :23:58.by about 0.5%. Down slightly from what we have seen before but after

:23:59. > :24:03.all the uncertainty with except, the squeeze on incomes, or what it could

:24:04. > :24:06.mean for us. How will this feel for our pockets? We were out in

:24:07. > :24:09.Manchester asking some of you hate you are feeling the squeeze.

:24:10. > :24:17.People haven't got that much money like they used to. Obviously, having

:24:18. > :24:22.to cut back on what I spend. Prices are going up all the time. What it

:24:23. > :24:28.used to be in the past, it jumping. Cost of living going up. All right.

:24:29. > :24:32.Just all right. Not amazing. It's difficult with a baby because I

:24:33. > :24:38.don't work as many hours as they used to. But I'm OK. I think if you

:24:39. > :24:47.know where you shop -- know where to shop, you can find decent prices.

:24:48. > :24:52.Struggling. Why? Just am. I think things will get tighter but at the

:24:53. > :24:54.moment, I am not as well off as I was the same age and with all that

:24:55. > :25:06.is happening, it will get tighter. Those are some of the issues facing

:25:07. > :25:10.us when it comes to money and a pocket. It will be the weakness in

:25:11. > :25:13.the pound and that makes things we import from overseas more expensive.

:25:14. > :25:17.That accounts for all the raw materials but also things like food

:25:18. > :25:21.and a lot of supermarkets have been telling us they might have to raise

:25:22. > :25:24.prices. There is also that uncertainty around Brexit. What will

:25:25. > :25:29.it mean for business day to day. There is a lot of clarity they will

:25:30. > :25:34.get to work out their plans for things like expansion or hiring more

:25:39. > :25:49.inflation. -- vendor areas. We will talk about that over course of the

:25:50. > :25:53.evening. -- then there is the squeeze. Join me in half an hour and

:25:54. > :25:53.we will talk through some of the figures.

:26:04. > :26:06.and brought him safely back again - is an invaluable piece

:26:07. > :26:10.It's going on public display in London, as our science

:26:11. > :26:32.Just over one year ago, Tim Peake set off for his mission to the

:26:54. > :26:57.hopes the display will inspire those who see it. Especially children.

:26:58. > :27:02.Many of who might wish to follow in Tim Peake's footsteps. The unveiling

:27:03. > :27:07.of the capital will also be the first opportunity to hear from the

:42:09. > :42:11.Keeping up with schoolwork can be stressful for any young person,

:42:12. > :42:14.but how do those caring for a loved one balance their education

:42:15. > :42:18.Research from the Carers Trust has revealed almost

:42:19. > :42:20.three quarters of young carers take time off school to look

:42:21. > :42:23.after relatives, while more than half struggle to meet deadlines.

:42:24. > :42:27.Holly Hamilton has been to meet two sisters who care for their mum

:42:28. > :42:43.Meet Claudia and Leonie. Did Mum take tablets? Just nine and 13, they

:42:44. > :42:47.have big dreams of becoming actresses. But right now their job

:42:48. > :42:53.is taking care of their mum. When she had a heart attack she got

:42:54. > :43:01.tunnel vision and then it is hard for her, because she can't see. I do

:43:02. > :43:05.a lot of tidying, packing things away and keeping things off the

:43:06. > :43:09.floor, because when things are on the floor she will trip over them

:43:10. > :43:16.easily. I was the kind of mum that did everything for her children, the

:43:17. > :43:19.running around, but picking up, and they relied on me for everything.

:43:20. > :43:25.And then suddenly I couldn't do anything for them and found that

:43:26. > :43:33.they were having to do things for me. That's what we've been learning

:43:34. > :43:38.about. The two are young carers, like more than 700,000 children in

:43:39. > :43:45.the UK. Many providing care for over 50 hours a week. So it is no

:43:46. > :43:49.surprise that a survey by the Carers -- Ida on sound more than half of

:43:50. > :43:54.those aged 16- 25 were struggling to with school work. Homework is the

:43:55. > :44:00.thing I struggle with because I'm always doing loads of chores and

:44:01. > :44:08.stuff and then I have to find time to do all my homework. Local council

:44:09. > :44:11.bosses say it is vital young carers are identified so they can get the

:44:12. > :44:18.support we need to achieve their life ambitions. You see everyone and

:44:19. > :44:22.you think, oh, they're so lucky, they can do all of that, but then

:44:23. > :44:28.you think I might wait, I can't do that. But then I also think it is

:44:29. > :44:37.important that I help her out and I like being responsible for her,

:44:38. > :44:41.because it makes me feel special. Claudia and Leonie are getting help

:44:42. > :44:44.from their school, which means they can focus on their schoolwork and

:44:45. > :44:51.looking after mum. What does the word care mean for you? Well, when I

:44:52. > :44:57.think terror I think it's not normal, a normal life. -- think

:44:58. > :45:01.carer. Like when you are an actress you have a big role to play, but

:45:02. > :45:06.then when you finish doing that part you need to stop, but it's like

:45:07. > :45:17.you're doing that role forever. Claudia and Leonie, talking to our

:45:18. > :45:19.reporter. Holly mentioned the research from Carers Trust.

:45:20. > :45:22.Joining us now is Gail Scott-Spicer, who's Chief Executive of the Carers

:45:23. > :45:36.Hearing their story, it's really heartbreaking. How common is a story

:45:37. > :45:42.like that? There are 700,000 children upto the age of 18 but also

:45:43. > :45:45.as young as five who caring. Caring for friends, family, somebody in

:45:46. > :45:50.their life who they love dearly. It's a real challenge for them. The

:45:51. > :45:55.data we have produced today and that we have seen from carers trust is

:45:56. > :45:59.showing that young carers are a danger, not only to their education,

:46:00. > :46:04.not fulfilling their life ambitions. There might be children up during

:46:10. > :46:12.hitting their bag ready. What should teachers be looking out for as far

:46:13. > :46:16.as checking all these kids are getting the support they need once

:46:17. > :46:21.at school? We know from the data that half of children are having

:46:22. > :46:25.problems coping with schoolwork. We know that they are struggling with

:46:26. > :46:33.deadlines. These are the things that children can look -- teachers can

:46:34. > :46:37.look after. You might find that some of these young carers are not moving

:46:38. > :46:44.it into school. Maybe they are hiding it, showing they are coping.

:46:45. > :46:51.Maybe it's hard to spot. It is but we do lots of work with schools to

:46:52. > :46:56.help spot the signs. There might be some carers watching this morning as

:46:57. > :47:00.they go through what they need to to support their family. They can reach

:47:01. > :47:04.out to schools because schools know how to support them. They can do

:47:05. > :47:11.that in confidence and they run a lot of charities around like Carers

:47:12. > :47:17.Trust. They can reach out in confidence. We also have online

:47:18. > :47:23.forums where they can come on and be anonymous. That is the first step

:47:24. > :47:27.for young carers sometimes to reach out and get support. They must

:47:28. > :47:31.realise crucially they are not alone. That is the way. If you can

:47:32. > :47:36.go on for and speak to other people, you can make a difference. There was

:47:37. > :47:39.a change in the law around giving more support and essentially

:47:40. > :47:49.assessment to young people. Has that made a difference and tell us, yes,

:47:50. > :47:53.haven't it ready difference? They came in to support children for the

:47:54. > :47:57.first time to give them rights in law. It is crucial now the

:48:01. > :48:07.principles and ambitions of those acts. It is very varied out there.

:48:08. > :48:11.Sometimes we see buried a lot of great work going on to support

:49:04. > :49:06.across the north-west once again today but the West of the UK

:49:07. > :49:13.generally windy. There is a lot of clout for us, we also have drizzle.

:49:14. > :49:20.-- cloud. We will also see the odd flurry of snow. We wait all see it.

:49:21. > :49:24.-- we won't. There is the risk of ice first thing this morning. Watch

:49:25. > :49:30.out for that underfoot and if you are driving. There are also pockets

:49:31. > :49:36.of fog but not on the scale that some of us have seen. Cloudy start

:49:37. > :49:40.across most of us. Also in Northern Ireland. Scotland, too. The North of

:49:41. > :49:46.Scotland is sticking out of the cloud. He refused. Here we will see

:49:47. > :49:51.the lion 's share of any sunshine as we will through the course of the

:49:52. > :49:55.day. The rest of the day, cloudy for the morning. Gradually, though, we

:49:56. > :49:59.start to see the cloud break up across Southern counties and we will

:50:00. > :50:04.see sunshine. Some of that extends into Wales. We will hang on to war

:50:05. > :50:08.this cloud and although we see temperatures largely above freezing,

:50:09. > :50:14.when you add on the wind chill, how it will feel against your skin when

:50:15. > :50:18.you are out, -5 in Newcastle, freezing in Cardiff. Remember to

:50:19. > :50:22.wrap up warmly if you are just a stepping out. As we had on through

:50:23. > :50:27.Thursday and into Friday, we hang on to quite keen to win. Then we have

:50:28. > :50:32.the complex area of low pressure. It is coming in from the West. We start

:50:33. > :50:36.off on Friday, possibly the odd pockets of fog and nothing

:50:37. > :50:40.substantial. Any snow flurries in the east will tend to fade and then

:50:41. > :50:46.we have weather front coming in from the north and west and they will

:50:47. > :50:49.introduce some rain. Also some milder conditions, particularly in

:50:50. > :50:55.the south-west. Although we will still feel cold in central areas, it

:50:56. > :51:00.will feel less than it did today. Saturday, showers but the nature of

:51:01. > :51:04.showers mean we were not all see them. Some of us will see sunshine.

:51:05. > :51:08.Look at this. It looks as though we will see the next area of low

:51:09. > :51:11.pressure sweeping across the Southern counties of England and

:51:12. > :51:16.Wales. The timing and position of this will change. Deep in touch with

:51:17. > :51:21.the weather forecast. Further north, not a bad day at all.

:51:22. > :51:27.Carroll, should we have a look at how we went last night? A beautiful

:51:28. > :51:32.picture of the gang. Everybody looking top dollar. That was before

:51:33. > :51:39.the party began. Tell us what it was like. LAUGHTER. You are getting no

:51:40. > :51:47.change out of me about anything. It was a good night, a good night,

:51:48. > :51:52.great. You have the party line down. And so used to it because they are

:51:53. > :52:01.WestJet a grilling from you guys! I'm glad you had a lovely time.

:52:02. > :52:04.Figures out later this morning are expected to show the British

:52:05. > :52:09.If so, it would be the latest data to suggest the UK

:52:10. > :52:11.economy is remaining resilient despite the Brexit vote.

:52:12. > :52:13.Ben is in central London for us this morning.

:52:14. > :52:18.Just how significant could these figures be Ben?

:52:19. > :52:32.You have a cracking view over the city. A bit cold that you have your

:52:33. > :52:36.gloves on. What are we expecting? Carol is not fibbing, it is freezing

:52:37. > :52:41.but the economy is going to be faring a bit better. We had the

:52:42. > :52:45.concerns about a fall in the value of the pound and that uncertainty

:52:46. > :52:50.surrounding Brexit. The latest thing is that word in inflation. We will

:52:51. > :52:54.hear a lot about it this year as prices start rising. We have had

:52:55. > :52:59.warnings from retailers including supermarkets, saying they might have

:53:00. > :53:04.to put prices up. On economic growth, we get the figure at 930. It

:53:05. > :53:13.is for the last quarter of last year, expected to show that the

:53:14. > :53:20.economy grew for about 0.5%. We have city -esque Burts with me. You are a

:53:21. > :53:27.cold, windy rooftop. Thank you for putting up with it. City experts. We

:53:28. > :53:33.have seen headlines about what inflation and Brexit could mean. The

:53:34. > :53:37.end of 2016 has been good and so will the beginning of 2017, as we

:53:38. > :53:42.have seen. Everybody is pretty upbeat but inflation has doubled

:53:43. > :53:47.between October and December so I think we will see wages squeezed

:53:48. > :53:51.because inflation is rising higher and rising more than wages at the

:53:52. > :53:55.moment. People will feel a bit poorer and it is consumption that

:53:56. > :53:59.has been driving the economy so I am worried about that going forward.

:54:00. > :54:07.The fact that manufacturers are getting towards capacity constraints

:54:08. > :54:12.and labour is a bit short. There are two stories on today because when we

:54:13. > :54:15.look at things like Brexit, there is uncertainty for business, we don't

:54:16. > :54:19.know what is going to happen and if you are a business with, you either

:54:20. > :54:24.embrace it or worry. Which way should you be going? These are

:54:25. > :54:35.challenging times but exciting times. Refer to what Bronwyn said,

:54:36. > :54:39.it is uncertain. We unfortunately, London is the only standard bearer.

:54:40. > :54:45.We need a much more mixed and balanced economy. We need to find

:54:46. > :54:49.labour in the right places so we can give construction and industrial

:54:50. > :55:00.print duction a real boost. I'm really upbeat long-term. --

:55:01. > :55:05.production. Wages is only at 2.6%. Have some courage, it will be fine.

:55:06. > :55:11.Catherine, you are nodding along to some things but as far as consumers

:55:12. > :55:18.are concerned, we may feel a squeeze. We will see a large to

:55:19. > :55:26.start -- decline. Businesses might not see it. These things take a long

:55:27. > :55:31.time to ramp up. Consumers are doing heavy lifting at the moment. Whether

:55:32. > :55:35.it can continue, we don't know. We are not going to delay spending

:55:36. > :55:41.because of an Article 50 ruling, for example. Thank you very much. We

:55:42. > :55:45.will speak more to you guys later in the programme. We will delve into

:55:46. > :55:49.the idea of consumer spending. It is all of us who is going out and

:55:50. > :55:52.spending in the shops that has helped prop up the economy. Big

:55:53. > :55:56.questions about whether we will carry on doing that.

:55:57. > :56:03.Delve into the flat and get some heat. It is freezing.

:56:04. > :59:57.Plenty more news, travel and weather on our website. Goodbye for now.

:02:50. > :02:52.work do you think west that phrase special relationship will tumble out

:02:53. > :02:57.of her lips many times in the next 48 hours. The plane carrying the

:03:04. > :03:07.Philadelphia, this away day for senior Republican politicians. A

:03:08. > :03:11.chance for her to address them. People who might be able to bend the

:03:12. > :03:16.ear and influence the president over the next four years. She will talk

:03:17. > :03:20.about how for her international organisations are really important.

:03:21. > :03:25.The United States and the UK were central in setting her up. The UN

:03:26. > :03:32.and the defence alliance, Nato, for instance. President Trump has been

:03:33. > :03:36.sceptical about any international organisations. The other thing she

:03:37. > :03:39.will be keen to do is just build a working relationship with the

:03:40. > :03:45.president. The human connection is hugely important and she starts it

:04:30. > :04:34.day for Brexit because of course we have a big announcement at 9:30am?

:04:35. > :04:39.Yes. The Prime Minister might be flying across the Atlantic, but that

:04:40. > :04:43.doesn't mean Brexit stops. The whole process rumbles on. What we get this

:04:44. > :04:48.morning is the publication of a bill. The start of the process of

:04:49. > :04:52.creating a law that will allow the Prime Minister to press go on the

:04:53. > :04:56.wrecks that process by the end of March. We will get the wording of

:12:05. > :12:08.hospitals. It was a big night for the TV

:12:09. > :12:19.industry last night. Ant and Dec won the prize

:12:20. > :12:22.for the best TV presenters Imagine how big

:12:23. > :12:28.their trophy room is! It was the National Television

:12:29. > :12:31.Awards in London last night, while the BBC presenter

:12:32. > :12:46.Graham Norton was recognised ITV's programme got best magazine.

:12:47. > :12:56.We were at the awards. ARM happy to say Allah team still had a brilliant

:12:57. > :12:58.time. -- I am happy. Carol was there, she pulled on all

:12:59. > :13:03.night. Not for the first time! We will be

:13:04. > :13:05.getting the weather forecast from her, if she is still awake, in a

:13:06. > :13:08.couple of minutes. It was controversially

:13:09. > :13:10.sanctioned by President Bush, banned by President Obama,

:13:11. > :13:13.but now President Trump has said In an interview with the US Network

:13:14. > :13:18.ABC, he said he supports the reintroduction of interrogation

:13:19. > :13:20.techniques, currently banned Donald Trump also repeated

:13:21. > :13:26.his stance that Mexico would pay for a 2,000 mile wall

:13:27. > :13:29.along it's border with the US. Though the Mexican President

:13:30. > :13:35.has rejected the idea. We'll discuss this in more detail

:13:36. > :13:48.in a moment, but first When Isis is doing things that

:13:49. > :13:52.nobody has ever heard of since mediaeval times, would I feel

:13:53. > :13:57.strongly about water boarding? As far as I'm concerned I think we have

:13:58. > :14:02.to fight fire with fire. I've spoken as recently as 24 hours ago, with

:14:03. > :14:08.people at the highest level of intelligence, and I asked them the

:14:09. > :14:12.question: Does it work? Does torture work? And the answer was yes,

:14:13. > :14:17.absolutely. You are now the president. You want water boarding?

:14:18. > :14:22.I don't want people to chop off anybody's heads in the Middle East.

:14:23. > :14:25.The Mexican president said in recent days that Mexico will absolutely not

:14:26. > :14:32.pay adequate against their dignity as a country and their dignity as

:14:33. > :14:39.Mexicans. He has to say that. But I am just telling you there will be a

:14:40. > :14:43.form, perhaps a complicated form. You have to understand, what I'm

:14:44. > :14:47.doing is good for the United States and it will also be good for Mexico.

:14:48. > :14:52.We want to have a stable and solid Mexico. When will construction

:14:53. > :14:56.begin? As soon as we can. As soon as we can physically do it. Months? I

:14:57. > :14:59.would say months, yes. Banning is starting immediately.

:15:00. > :15:03.Jacob Parakilas is Assistant Head of the US and Americas Programme

:15:04. > :15:06.He joins us from our London newsroom.

:15:07. > :15:16.Good morning. He hasn't even been in position for one week and we've had

:15:17. > :15:20.constant tweeting and announcements and executive orders signed. Is he

:15:21. > :15:26.going about this with an amazing, an unusual amount of energy?

:15:27. > :15:32.If you are calling to the nine when Obama took office, he signed a

:15:33. > :15:36.number of things including torture techniques, calling for the closure

:15:37. > :15:41.of Guantanamo Bay. Some of those things and notably the closure of

:15:42. > :15:44.that detention centre, didn't. It is normal for a president to begin

:15:45. > :15:51.their term with a flurry of activity because it sets out the agenda and

:15:52. > :15:55.it also, in some ways, they are in their honeymoon period. They set up

:15:56. > :15:58.their agenda and they can reinforce it over the course of their term.

:15:59. > :16:02.That go through some of the things they have been talking about. Let's

:16:03. > :16:09.start with torture. Shall we be surprised by the strength of some of

:16:10. > :16:13.his words in that interview? No, it's entirely consistent with what

:16:14. > :16:17.he said during the campaign. The interesting thing is the internal

:16:18. > :16:24.dynamics. He said in that interview that he would listen to the press

:16:25. > :16:27.Secretary General Mattis and his CIA director Mike Pompeo. Both of those

:16:28. > :16:36.said they would be bringing back water boarding. Also bringing back

:16:37. > :16:41.the Acted that would bring any interrogation which bans water

:16:42. > :16:45.boarding or other forms of torture. For the moment, it sounds by Kuwait

:16:46. > :16:53.push for any harder to the reintegration of. -- he won't push

:16:54. > :16:57.any harder. The number of Republicans, especially John Cain,

:16:58. > :17:03.have pushed for the continuation of the ban. So he might not intend to

:17:04. > :17:07.deliver it but is he just trying to appeal directly to his voters, his

:17:08. > :17:11.supporters, at the moment, and throw them some red meat? Think you

:17:12. > :17:16.straight to appeal to his supporters and also set out what he sees as the

:17:17. > :17:20.position of toughness. Set out this idea that he will be aggressively

:17:21. > :17:27.defending America's national interest. All of this is continued

:17:28. > :17:32.on the current political situation. There is general turnover in Cabinet

:17:33. > :17:38.posts. We don't know whether Mike Pompeo or General Mattis will last

:17:39. > :17:43.both terms. We don't know who else might get into crucial national

:17:44. > :17:51.security posts. He is talking about the wall and talking about building

:17:52. > :17:57.it within months. If that realistic? No. It's absolutely a huge

:17:58. > :18:00.construction project. Much of it is through in hospitable territory.

:18:01. > :18:04.There is also the problem that a lot of the land is not owned by the

:18:05. > :18:09.Federal government. It is private land owners. Housing estates. It is

:18:10. > :18:13.compensated legal process. Securing land rights. You can't do is that

:18:14. > :18:18.land and then start putting up a concrete barrier. So, he will be

:18:19. > :18:22.able to begin construction on certain segments of the wall beyond

:18:23. > :18:27.the 700 or so miles of war that already exist. It is not something

:18:28. > :18:34.he will be able to get done quickly. In terms of effectiveness, most

:18:35. > :18:38.undocumented immigration in the US is not from people crossing the

:18:39. > :18:42.border that people coming on student visas or work visas and overstaying

:18:43. > :18:48.so the wall will not stop any of that. A lot for Donald Trump and

:18:49. > :18:52.Theresa May to talk about when she hits the White House tomorrow. As we

:18:53. > :18:57.speak, she is getting on a plane. Thank you for your time. And taking

:18:58. > :19:07.a hamper with her. What would you want in a hamper? Tarts. Carol, what

:19:08. > :19:13.would you like in a hamper that would impress you?

:19:14. > :19:20.Good morning. If you are just stepping out, it is called start the

:19:21. > :19:25.day. Temperatures are widely around freezing orders below or above. It

:19:26. > :19:29.will get down to the bitter wind. It is coming off a cold continent and

:19:30. > :19:34.it has been dragged across our shores from South to North. If you

:19:35. > :19:40.are just stepping out, make sure you take something warm with you. Cloudy

:19:41. > :19:45.start to the day. Thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle and the odd

:19:46. > :19:50.snow flurry. Most of us will miss it anyway. We also have the odd pocket

:19:51. > :19:54.of log around, not to the level of what we have seen lately. As you can

:19:55. > :20:00.see across Southern counties, a lot of cloud. That is called in Exeter

:20:01. > :20:06.as it was yesterday. Over into Wales, a lot of cloud. The Pennines

:20:07. > :20:11.and the Vale of York, a bit of drizzle but a lot of hill fog. You

:20:12. > :20:16.will have into the sunshine through the day for the North of Scotland

:20:17. > :20:24.but the rest of Scotland and Northern Ireland, some drizzle and

:20:25. > :20:27.cloud. Talking through the day, it will be windy, especially out

:20:28. > :20:34.towards the West and the north-west. Don't forget, all of us, if exposed

:20:35. > :20:38.to the wind, feel cold. London's temperature is at three Celsius and

:20:39. > :20:44.in the wind will feel like more like minus one. For Newcastle in the

:20:45. > :20:55.wind, -6, that is the field. -- feeling. Into tomorrow, still windy

:20:56. > :20:59.Collette -- conditions. We will start off in the morning began with

:21:00. > :21:05.the odd pocket of Frost, like this morning, the risk of ice. In the

:21:06. > :21:09.West, what you will find is the rain coming in, courtesy of the front. It

:21:10. > :21:14.won't be too heavy and any snow flurries will move away. In the

:21:15. > :21:18.south-west, milder conditions, less call than it has been across central

:21:19. > :21:23.and eastern areas but if you are outside, it will still feel cold. On

:21:24. > :21:27.Saturday, we start to see a more unsettled dealing. A few more

:21:28. > :21:31.showers around, it won't be as cold and we will equally the sunshine in

:21:32. > :21:36.between the showers. I will draw your attention to this area of rain.

:21:37. > :21:39.This is a next area of low pressure which at the moment looks as though

:21:40. > :21:44.it will sweep across other southern parts of England and Wales through

:21:45. > :21:48.Sunday. The timing and position of that could change so don't be gutted

:21:49. > :21:54.if that's what you see and you have outdoor plans, it may move further

:21:55. > :21:58.south. At the moment, it looks like it is the northern half of the

:21:59. > :22:03.country that will see the driest and brightest conditions with some

:22:04. > :22:08.sunshine. Is it fair to say it is quite fresh at the moment? Fresh!

:22:09. > :22:18.That is an understatement it is perishing. As you fresh today? I'm

:22:19. > :22:24.very fresh, Steph, thank you for asking. There is a reason we are

:22:25. > :22:28.saying is, it was the TV awards last night and Carol was there. She was

:22:29. > :22:32.there last night and she looks brilliant.

:22:33. > :22:34.As second-hand vehicles go, it doesn't sound very promising -

:22:35. > :22:37.slightly scorched, 74 million miles on the clock and last seen

:22:38. > :22:42.But the capsule which took Major Tim Peake into space -

:22:43. > :22:45.and brought him safely back again - is an invaluable piece

:22:46. > :22:48.It's going on display at London's Science Museum today,

:22:49. > :22:50.where our Global science correspondent Rebecca Morelle

:22:51. > :23:14.Global science correspondence doesn't do it justice. It's gone

:23:15. > :23:21.beyond global! Yes, I am here science Museum and behind me you can

:23:22. > :23:25.see the Soyuz capital that brought Tim Peake up to space and more

:23:26. > :23:31.importantly, brought him back down-to-earth. Apprising the small

:23:32. > :23:35.when you see it up close. She gets a sense of what it must have been like

:23:36. > :23:39.in there. Three people crammed in. You can see the scorch marks outside

:23:40. > :23:45.where it re-entered backstreet the atmosphere when temperatures reached

:23:46. > :23:52.up to 5100dC. We'll be talking to little later but a select group of

:23:53. > :23:56.people that had the delight of going up into space and had the amazing

:23:57. > :24:09.experience of going up in one of these. One is them is Doctor Helen

:24:10. > :24:18.Sharman. Visit bring back memories? -- does it? We do get the chance to

:24:19. > :24:23.get up close to see one up close even for astronauts. Inside, it

:24:24. > :24:28.looks like the real thing in the simulators but to have one that has

:24:29. > :24:35.actually flown into space is a real excitement stop here at the science

:24:36. > :24:42.Museum, you have this. Ways it important to get these pieces of

:24:43. > :24:46.space history on display? This is space history but actually, it's not

:24:47. > :24:51.just history. This is something that really happened in our lifetime.

:24:52. > :24:55.It's very recent history. People can remember not just the thing but what

:24:56. > :25:00.it signifies. This is a British astronaut, Tim Peake, he put Britain

:25:01. > :25:05.back into the realms of human spaceflight where we are competing

:25:06. > :25:10.again on the international stage. We were so proud of him and it will

:25:11. > :25:14.inspire many more people to do more things, not just associated with

:25:15. > :25:18.space at all that space offers and the excitement of science and

:25:19. > :25:23.engineering technologies and mathematics that you need to

:25:24. > :25:33.understand in order to make missions like this possible. It's interesting

:25:34. > :25:39.that Tim Peake might have another chance to go back up, maybe in a

:25:40. > :25:43.Soyuz maybe in another Capshaw. Would you like to go back up? Every

:25:44. > :25:49.single astronaut would like to go back up. Everything goes back to

:25:50. > :25:55.normal except for one thing and that would be a longing to go back. Is

:25:56. > :26:00.anything on the earth ever the same again afterwards? Space is so

:26:01. > :26:04.different to anything that you do in life. There are many exciting things

:26:05. > :26:09.in life, of course there are. But there is this opportunity to do

:26:10. > :26:15.something that you will never be able to do again. It is just the

:26:16. > :26:19.most natural and relaxing thing to be able to float around in space.

:26:20. > :26:24.All these things that you can do in science. Thank you, Helen. A piece

:26:25. > :26:29.of space history that will be unveiled to the public later this

:26:30. > :26:30.morning, bought from the Russian Space Agency for an undisclosed

:26:31. > :26:41.amount. Thank you, Rebecca. Amazing to hear from Helen Sharman.

:26:42. > :26:47.Such an amazing woman. Have Tim Peake on later in the show as well.

:26:48. > :26:53.Back in the Capshaw, see how it feels. -- Capshaw.

:26:54. > :26:58.Still to come this morning, we'll meet nine-year-old Leonie.

:26:59. > :27:02.Homework is the thing I struggle with because I'm always looking

:27:03. > :27:03.after staff. many of which are struggling to

:27:04. > :27:10.balance school with helping at home. Time now to get the news,

:27:11. > :30:37.travel and weather where you are. They will be also

:30:38. > :30:39.possible heavy showers. I'm back with the latest

:31:01. > :31:04.with President Trump, when they meet at the

:31:05. > :31:06.White House tomorrow. She has said she's not afraid

:31:07. > :31:10.of having a candid conversation. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said

:31:11. > :31:13.he believes that torture can work to get information out

:31:14. > :31:16.of terrorism suspects. In an interview with ABC News,

:31:17. > :31:19.the President said the US had But Mr Trump said he would seek

:31:20. > :31:26.further advice before deciding whether to bring back techniques,

:31:44. > :31:48.hours ago with people at the highest level of intelligence and I ask them

:31:49. > :31:52.the question: Does it work? Does torture work? And the answer was

:31:53. > :32:02.yes, absolutely. The government here will publish

:32:03. > :32:06.a Billm, to enable it to invoke Article 50 and trigger

:33:03. > :33:04.response strategy to reach the maximum number of people in a short

:33:05. > :33:05.amount of time. The number of cars built in the UK

:33:06. > :33:09.has reached a 17-year high, thanks to continued economic

:33:10. > :33:11.recovery in Europe. Around 1.7 million cars rolled off

:33:12. > :33:13.production lines last year But investment in the industry fell

:33:42. > :33:42.The government says the standards are legally binding and that

:33:43. > :33:45.performance is improving. It was the National Television

:33:53. > :34:00.Mary Berry for best judge Strictly Come Dancing picked up

:34:01. > :34:09.the gong for best talent show. There were lots of surprises as

:34:45. > :34:46.the sport. Serena and Venus Williams are

:34:47. > :34:52.through to the final of the Australian Open. You would be

:34:53. > :34:58.forgiven for thinking you've gone back ten years.

:34:59. > :35:03.And Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are going strong as well!

:35:04. > :35:06.Venus and Serena have played themselves so many times, the last

:35:07. > :35:14.time they played in a grandslam final was ten years ago. Venus

:35:55. > :35:59.The seven-time Grand Slam beat Coco Vandeweghe in three sets.

:38:49. > :38:59.we just want to be pleased We wanted to come down,

:39:00. > :39:05.finish the line and think, "Yes,

:39:06. > :39:07.I managed to do that. "We couldn't have gone any

:39:08. > :39:09.faster and the result But we got both of those

:39:10. > :39:19.feelings today, so chuffed! Brilliant and understandably the

:39:20. > :39:22.favourite to win at the Winter Olympics next year. Can you think of

:39:23. > :39:27.anything more terrifying, not being able to see properly and skiing at

:39:28. > :39:34.100 mph down a mountain? Brilliant. You're going to stick

:39:35. > :39:39.with us because we are going to talk American football.

:39:40. > :39:41.I am trying to pass myself out and look little bit taller, but I don't

:39:42. > :39:42.think it will work. It is as quintessentially American

:39:43. > :39:47.as hot dogs and cowboys, but American football continues

:39:48. > :39:49.to grow in popularity Nearly 3.5 million

:39:50. > :39:52.British viewers now tune The NFL's fan base tops

:39:53. > :40:00.13 million in the UK. Tickets for the first NFL game

:40:01. > :40:03.in London in 2007 sold out And that has been replicated

:40:04. > :40:10.by subsequent sell-outs ever since. we'll speak to two former

:40:11. > :40:15.Super Bowl winners in a moment First, here's a taste

:40:16. > :40:24.of the last one. Welcome to the stadium as we are

:40:25. > :40:54.getting set for Super Bowl L. The ball is free! Touchdown! He

:40:55. > :41:08.leaps and scores! Touchdown! In trouble! To the end zone! Touchdown!

:41:09. > :41:13.They are the world champions. They have just one Super Bowl L. -- won.

:41:14. > :41:17.They know how to sell it. It is the drama.

:41:18. > :41:20.Former Super Bowl champions Osi Umenyiora and Jason Bell

:41:21. > :41:30.Good morning and thanks for coming in. Osi, you are an ambassador for

:41:31. > :41:35.the NFL to the UK. That means you have to sell the game in the UK?

:41:36. > :41:40.That's what I am trying to do and so forehead has been easy. NFL is a

:41:41. > :41:46.fantastic game. -- so far it has been. Why do you think it is popular

:41:47. > :41:50.here? You have to understand the dynamics of American football. It

:41:51. > :41:55.has something for everybody, with the UR vig, tall, fast, slow,

:41:56. > :42:00.whatever. -- whether you are big. So when they see the incredible

:42:01. > :42:04.athleticism on the field they enjoy it and obviously it's a very

:42:05. > :42:09.American game. There's a special relationship between America and the

:42:10. > :42:14.UK... We've been hearing about that! I think that's why they enjoy it.

:42:15. > :42:17.Maybe you can get the big ambassador job in London as well!

:42:18. > :42:23.For someone who doesn't understand it, a lot of the UK audience, give

:42:24. > :42:29.us the basics. The basics? Follow the ball. Always follow the ball.

:42:30. > :42:32.You look at the line scrummage, the big guys at the front, and you see

:42:33. > :42:37.whoever is moving forwards and backwards, that's usually who is

:42:38. > :42:41.winning the game. The NFL, there's a lot of talk about it, like cricket,

:42:42. > :42:46.and it comes across as more complicated than it is. If you watch

:42:47. > :42:49.it you can pick it up quite easily. There are millions of people

:42:50. > :42:53.watching it in the UK. Our people getting out and playing it? Does it

:42:54. > :42:59.translate to people having a go on the pitch? Absolutely. Maybe about

:43:00. > :43:03.two or three weeks ago I looked to the left and saw a big field and

:43:04. > :43:06.people were playing with their full kit and gear and that threw me,

:43:07. > :43:11.because I had never seen that before. So from what I understand a

:43:12. > :43:14.lot of universities are playing it, a lot of kids, the game is

:43:15. > :43:18.increasing in popularity and we are really happy. Do you think perhaps

:43:19. > :43:24.people see it as a slightly safer version of Rob D, because you have

:43:25. > :43:29.the helmets, the pads? -- rugby. Is it safer than rugby? We've been

:43:30. > :43:34.talking a lot about concussion and head injuries. The risks are

:43:35. > :43:39.obviously there. Are you safer with a helmet on? I don't know if it is

:43:40. > :43:44.safer. I know it is definitely a better sport, but I don't know if it

:43:45. > :43:48.is safer. In all fairness rugby is a great sport, I enjoy watching it as

:43:49. > :43:53.well. But the NFL, there's really no comparison. You are part of the BBC

:43:54. > :43:59.highlights show. When you are doing the punditry, is it different doing

:44:00. > :44:04.it in the UK? It is. You've got to get the basics down. I forget how

:44:05. > :44:07.hard the basics are, you take it granted because you've been playing

:44:08. > :44:12.it for so long, but then you explain it and you feel it is intricate, but

:44:13. > :44:16.it is fun and exciting. There are so many stops and starts. I enjoy

:44:17. > :44:23.watching it when it's happening, but I look back on 1.5 hours and I think

:44:24. > :44:27.I waited more time in the gaps. It gives you time to talk to your

:44:28. > :44:32.friends! It gives you time to do the commentary. You get to do all the

:44:33. > :44:35.things you want to do. That's why you have to watch these guys on the

:44:36. > :44:45.highlights programme. We can't let you go without asking... These guys

:44:46. > :44:50.have won the Super Bowl. We have some enormous events in the UK, the

:44:51. > :44:54.FA Cup, grand slams in tennis, nothing quite compares to the scale

:44:55. > :44:58.of the Super Bowl. What does it feel like to win the Super Bowl?

:44:59. > :45:01.Incredible. Other than the World Cup there's really no other sport like

:45:02. > :45:07.that, there's no other game like that in the world. To be able to win

:45:08. > :45:12.that, and all of these little kids dream about playing this game for

:45:13. > :45:18.their entire life and once you get out there and you can do it and win

:45:19. > :45:22.at twice, twice! There's absolutely no feeling like it. It is an

:45:23. > :45:27.incredible completion. You feel like you are in paradise. One day I will

:45:28. > :45:33.achieve something that is minutely on the scale. We achieved something.

:45:34. > :45:37.We came on this show with you guys and it is almost like the Super

:45:38. > :45:42.Bowl! We should stop the interview there. Thank you.

:45:43. > :45:43.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:45:44. > :45:50.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:45:51. > :46:10.This morning is a cold start to the day. In Cardiff, it is plus three,

:46:11. > :46:15.Edinburgh, plus one. Today, wherever you are, it will feel cold. Largely

:46:16. > :46:19.down to the bitter wind. Again, it is coming up from this cold

:46:20. > :46:25.continent and it is dragging the cold air right across our shores.

:46:26. > :46:29.First thing this morning, it is cloudy as well is called. Watch out

:46:30. > :46:33.for ice on untreated surfaces because it has been damp, a wee bit

:46:34. > :46:43.of drizzle. Some of us could also see some snow flurries. There will

:46:44. > :46:46.be -- went to be enough to build a snowman. Breezy across most of the

:46:47. > :46:52.country. Northern Scotland is standing out. From the word go, you

:46:53. > :46:55.will see some sunshine. One of two brighter breaks as you come south.

:46:56. > :46:59.Essentially, fairly cloudy across the bulk of England but across

:47:00. > :47:02.southern counties, later in the morning and into the afternoon, you

:47:03. > :47:07.will see the cloud breakup and a sunny spells developing. Don't be

:47:08. > :47:13.full, it will feel better despite the fact we have sunshine and

:47:14. > :47:17.temperatures up to about six. For Wales, we will also see some

:47:18. > :47:22.sunshine come through but for most of Wales and in towards past of the

:47:23. > :47:29.Midlands, we hang on to the cloud. As we head into Northern Ireland, a

:47:30. > :47:34.cloudy and damp day. The Newcastle, the maximum temperature is freezing

:47:35. > :47:38.but if you are exposed to the wind, it will feel against your skin more

:47:39. > :47:43.like -6 because of the wind chill. As we had on through the evening and

:47:44. > :47:47.overnight, it will still be fairly windy. Then we have the next cluster

:47:48. > :47:50.of weather fronts coming our way ringing unsettled conditions as we

:47:51. > :47:55.had on through Friday. Friday we will start off on a cold note. Maybe

:47:56. > :47:59.the odd pocket of frost and fog around. One or two wintry flurries

:48:00. > :48:03.in the east that they won't last. Out towards the West and the north,

:48:04. > :48:08.we will see the weather fronts coming in, introducing patchy, light

:48:09. > :48:12.rain. With those, we will see higher temperatures in the West and it will

:48:13. > :48:17.become less cold in central and eastern parts of the UK. I'm using

:48:18. > :48:24.the terminology wisely because it won't be mild. In between showers,

:48:25. > :48:31.bright spells and sunshine. As is the nature of showers, you can see

:48:32. > :48:40.the next area waiting in the wings. It will bring rain across other

:48:41. > :48:43.parts of England. Dry and brighter with sunshine, John and Steph. Thank

:48:44. > :48:49.you very much indeed, Carol. We will be finding out more about

:48:50. > :48:54.how the economy will be doing. Figures out later this morning

:48:55. > :48:57.are expected to show the British Ben is in central London

:48:58. > :49:01.for us this morning. As Carol was saying, you must be

:49:02. > :49:12.freezing. It is a freezing this morning. We

:49:13. > :49:17.are on the rooftop of their Institution of Engineering and

:49:18. > :49:22.Technology. We will be keeping a close eye on the figures. We get the

:49:23. > :49:26.figures to the end of last year, the last quarter of last year. It is the

:49:27. > :49:30.economic growth figures, the GDP figures. It will show us how we

:49:31. > :49:35.fared as a country economically but there are a lot of questions about

:49:36. > :49:39.the year ahead because of uncertainty because of Brexit and

:49:40. > :49:47.also the fall in the value of the pound could have fed -- affect the

:49:48. > :49:54.money in our pockets. We have experts for us. London, the money in

:49:55. > :49:58.the pocket. 2016 was quite a good year but concern about the coming

:49:59. > :50:04.year. Inflation, uncertainty. A lot to contend with. Yes. 2016 was a

:50:05. > :50:12.good year. Much better than most economists was expect in. Inflation

:50:13. > :50:19.is rising, double between October and December last year. Some people

:50:20. > :50:23.are talking about 3.5%. Wages are rising, everyone is doing quite well

:50:24. > :50:27.but prices are rising faster than wages. Consumer demand which has

:50:28. > :50:32.been driving this economy is probably going to be a bit lower. We

:50:33. > :50:37.are really looking for it to tail off in the second half of the year

:50:38. > :50:41.but good figures today. David, we will feel the fall in the value of

:50:42. > :50:44.the pound, which we? It will squeeze our incomes because things will get

:50:45. > :50:53.more expensive. That is the flipside... Is down about 12.5%

:50:54. > :50:58.against the euro. We are starting to feel it through the supermarket and

:50:59. > :51:01.also some of the stores. A definite feeling of pain. People are much

:51:02. > :51:10.more discerning, we have seen horrible figures come out. You will

:51:11. > :51:15.find because 84,000 people lost their job at the beginning of 2016

:51:16. > :51:21.out of a workforce of 2.4 million out of the retail sector. People are

:51:22. > :51:24.on their guard. As Bronwyn says, the ability to have disposable income

:51:25. > :51:28.will be very much more carefully watched as it is done today and it

:51:29. > :51:36.will likely effect of GDP. I won't be the prophet of doom. The

:51:37. > :51:39.beautiful city of ours will have billions of tourist spending lots of

:51:40. > :51:46.filthy money. I hope it leads through to give everybody an upbeat

:51:47. > :51:50.feeling about life. There is an element that we will deal with this

:51:51. > :51:53.come what may. There are a lot of things for the economy to content

:51:54. > :51:58.with that we have been through worse. The 2008 financial crisis and

:51:59. > :52:02.have come through. This is just one of the things. It is robust but we

:52:03. > :52:07.are at a point where the global economy is doing much better.

:52:08. > :52:12.European economy, is to risk it. The UK is doing well. They have ready

:52:13. > :52:15.put up interest rates in the US. They may have to put up interest

:52:16. > :52:21.rates in the UK because some manufacturers are reaching capacity

:52:22. > :52:26.constraints and so that usually means that inflation will go higher.

:52:27. > :52:31.If it does. We might see the Bank of England raising rates. I think it

:52:32. > :52:35.will be constrained. A lot will depend on whether the pound takes

:52:36. > :52:43.another beating and import prices going up. A lot of uncertainty

:52:44. > :52:47.around. We will chat more later. You might be able to see London coming

:52:48. > :52:50.to life behind me. Everybody commuting into the city. I have

:52:51. > :52:55.noticed a fair few joggers wearing short shorts this morning. I would

:52:56. > :52:57.rather them than me because it is lolling freezing down here on the

:52:58. > :53:13.banks of the Thames. -- lolling. It is 753. You are watching

:53:14. > :53:17.breakfast. Just before eight AEM, lots of people will be heading off

:53:18. > :53:22.to school to begin their works to the day. For many kids, they mate

:53:23. > :53:24.to school to begin their works to the day. For many kids, they --

:53:25. > :53:28.might have been looking after their mum or dad who might be poorly. And

:53:29. > :53:36.that affects people doing their schoolwork. Research from the carers

:53:37. > :53:40.trust show that more than half struggled to meet deadlines.

:53:41. > :53:49.Holly Hamilton has been to meet two sisters who care for their mum -

:53:50. > :53:56.Just nine and 13, they have big dreams of becoming actresses.

:53:57. > :53:59.But right now their job is taking care of their Mum.

:54:00. > :54:03.When she had a heart attack she got tunnel vision and then it is hard

:54:04. > :54:11.I do a lot of tidying, packing things away and keeping

:54:12. > :54:14.things off the floor, because when things are on the floor

:54:15. > :54:23.I was the kind of Mum that did everything for her children,

:54:24. > :54:26.the running around, the picking up, and they relied

:54:27. > :54:31.And then suddenly I couldn't do anything for them and found

:54:32. > :54:37.that they were having to do things for me.

:54:38. > :54:40.That's what we've been learning about.

:54:41. > :54:43.The two are young carers, like more than 700,000 children

:54:44. > :54:50.Many providing care for over 50 hours a week.

:54:51. > :54:53.So it's no surprise that a survey by the Carers Trust

:54:54. > :54:56.found that more than half of those aged 16-25 were struggling

:54:57. > :55:04.Homework is the thing I struggle with because I'm

:55:05. > :55:07.always doing loads of chores and stuff and then I have to find

:55:08. > :55:16.Local council bosses say it is vital young carers

:55:17. > :55:19.are identified so they can get the support they need

:55:20. > :55:26.You see everyone and you think, oh, they're so lucky,

:55:27. > :55:29.they can do all of that, but then you think, oh,

:55:30. > :55:36.But then I also think it is important that I help her out

:55:37. > :55:39.and I like being responsible for her, because it makes

:55:40. > :55:47.Claudia and Leonie are getting help from their school,

:55:48. > :55:49.which means they can focus on their schoolwork

:55:50. > :55:57.What does the word carer mean for you?

:55:58. > :56:02.Well, when I think carer I think it's not normal,

:56:03. > :56:07.Like when you are an actress you have a big role to play,

:56:08. > :56:14.but then when you finish doing that part you need to stop,

:56:15. > :56:25.but it's like you're doing that role forever.

:56:26. > :56:31.After 8:30 we'll be joined by the Chief Executive

:56:32. > :56:35.of the Carers Trust to find out more about their concerns and discuss

:56:36. > :56:39.what can be done to make life easier for young carers.

:56:40. > :56:50.The former dentist who took up sprinting in his 90s.

:56:51. > :56:54.Now a World Record holder, Charles Eugster

:56:55. > :57:00.will be here to tell us why he's refusing to slow down in old age.

:57:01. > :00:30.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:00:31. > :00:32.The Prime Minister vows to renew the UK's special

:00:33. > :00:34.relationship with the US, as she travels to America

:00:35. > :00:39.Theresa May will say the two countries can "lead together again",

:00:40. > :00:41.and will propose greater co-operation in the fight

:00:42. > :00:49.She will leave Downing Street for the states very soon.

:00:50. > :00:51.In his first TV interview since taking office,

:00:52. > :00:53.President Trump says he believes torture works when dealing

:00:54. > :01:06.I want to do Everything within the bounds of what you're allowed to do

:01:07. > :01:19.legally. But do I feel it works? Absolutely I feel it works.

:01:20. > :01:23.Good morning, it's Thursday, the 26th of January.

:01:24. > :01:25.Also this morning: Children's health in the UK is lagging behind most

:01:26. > :01:38.other European countries, according to a major new report.

:01:39. > :01:44.We get the latest growth figures later today. They are expected to

:01:45. > :01:47.show the economy third pretty well at the end of last year, but a rise

:01:48. > :01:52.in the cost-of-living, if all so might fall in the value of the

:01:53. > :01:54.pound, what does this year have in store?

:01:55. > :01:57.It's a Serena and Venus Williams final at the Australian Open,

:01:58. > :02:00.as both win their semi-finals this morning.

:02:01. > :02:04.It is the first time they have met in a grand slam final for eight

:02:05. > :02:07.years. It's taken Tim Peake

:02:08. > :02:08.to space and back. Now the Soyuz capsule

:02:09. > :02:18.has landed in London. Carroll might want to get inside and

:02:19. > :02:22.have a little sleep because she has been up most of the night for the

:02:23. > :02:28.National television awards! It is a cold start to the day-to-day and it

:02:29. > :02:31.is also fairly cloudy. We have some ice on untreated surfaces, a little

:02:32. > :02:36.bit of drizzle and the odd snow flurry. Later, some of us will see

:02:37. > :02:40.some sunshine, but it is going to feel chilly. Thanks, Carol.

:02:41. > :02:44.Theresa May will call for a renewed special relationship

:02:45. > :02:46.with the United States, when she addresses Republican

:02:47. > :02:49.politicians in Philadelphia later. A day before she becomes the first

:02:50. > :02:50.international leader to meet President Trump,

:02:51. > :02:52.the Prime Minister will argue for greater co-operation

:02:53. > :02:57.in the fight against terrorism. Our Political Correspondent Chris

:02:58. > :03:10.This is really important for both sides, isn't it? For President Trump

:03:11. > :03:15.and Theresa May. What can we

:03:16. > :03:21.expect to come out of this visit? Crucially, it is a chance for the

:03:22. > :03:26.two leaders to get to know one another. It is often in

:03:27. > :03:29.underestimated how important the personal relationship is. The two

:03:30. > :03:33.leaders need to get to know one another. And overcome some

:03:38. > :03:41.of now President Trump in the past. But also on specific aspects of

:03:46. > :03:49.has been saying about the potential reintroduction of what is known as

:03:50. > :03:53.waterboarding, what many people see us techniques of torture. The

:04:53. > :04:56.being from the Isle of Lewis. She heads west with the Bakewell parts.

:04:57. > :05:00.In the building behind you, in Parliament today, they are thinking

:05:04. > :05:08.significance of this paper which is going to be introduced before MPs

:05:09. > :05:13.today? What we are going to get in the next couple of weeks is what we

:05:16. > :05:20.building behind me needs to draw up a new law to make this process of

:05:21. > :05:24.Brexit start, the so-called triggering of Article 50. Today, we

:05:25. > :05:27.get the outline of that new law, what is known as a bill. The

:05:28. > :05:32.Government will publish that in the next couple of hours. From then, the

:05:33. > :05:36.debate can truly begin. We will get proper debate in the Commons and the

:08:40. > :08:43.of children in the UK has found an "alarming gap" exists

:08:44. > :08:46.between the rich and poor - with one in five young people

:08:47. > :08:51.suffering as a result of poverty. The Royal College of Paediatrics

:08:52. > :08:54.and Child Health also suggests the UK is lagging behind most

:08:55. > :08:57.western European countries when it comes to measures such as infant

:08:58. > :09:03.mortality rates and obesity. Our Health Correspondent,

:09:04. > :09:06.Dominic Hughes, reports. Anxiety, depression

:09:07. > :09:14.and a need to be listened to. These are the themes of a short

:09:15. > :09:16.play on mental health, devised by school

:09:17. > :09:20.students in Liverpool. The issues they touch on reflect

:09:21. > :09:24.those in today's report on the health of children

:09:25. > :09:26.and young people. It paints a picture of the UK

:09:27. > :09:29.struggling to match other countries The evidence has been developing

:09:30. > :09:35.for some time that all is not well It's the first time we have really

:09:36. > :09:42.put together a proper picture across all four countries,

:09:43. > :09:44.and the news is not good. Some of the issues that raise

:09:45. > :09:47.concerns over the state of child health include just 34%

:09:48. > :09:50.of babies breast fed to six months, 40% of children in

:09:51. > :09:54.England's most deprived areas are overweight or obese,

:09:55. > :09:57.and half of adult mental health And for the drama group

:10:05. > :10:13.of the brain, and they're as valid as any other illnesses

:10:14. > :10:16.to any other part of the body. Just because you can't see it

:10:17. > :10:19.physically, it doesn't mean Our production will mainly be to get

:10:20. > :10:23.rid of that stigma about mental health, and just educate

:10:24. > :10:25.the audience a bit more The four governments of the UK

:10:26. > :10:29.are all challenged to consider the impact their policies

:10:30. > :10:32.will have on children. They've responded by restating

:11:02. > :11:07.is going on public display today. The Soyuz capsule, still scorched

:11:08. > :11:10.from its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere in June, is now

:11:11. > :11:16.at the Science Museum in London. Our Global Science Correspondent

:11:17. > :11:29.Rebecca Morelle is there. I should say extraterrestrials

:11:30. > :11:33.Science Correspondent! It must be an exciting day, having a good look at

:11:34. > :11:38.Matt? It is an amazing thing, really. Just behind me we have got

:11:39. > :11:44.Tim Peake reunited with his Soyuz spacecraft. This is a craft that

:11:45. > :11:49.took him up into space and safely back down again. It's incredible,

:11:50. > :11:52.it's pretty small, really. You can imagine three people crammed in

:11:53. > :11:57.there on the way up, sitting on top of 300 tonnes of rocket fuel, and on

:11:58. > :12:01.the way back down again, flying through the atmosphere, temperatures

:12:02. > :12:06.reaching 1500 Greece centigrade. You can see the scorch marks all down

:12:07. > :12:14.the side there. This is a piece of spacious history that is being put

:12:15. > :12:15.on display. It is bought by the science Museum from the Russian

:12:16. > :12:18.space agency for an undisclosed amount, they are not saying how much

:12:19. > :12:22.they paid. For Tim, it must be quite an emotional moment seeing it. We

:12:23. > :12:27.were talking to Helen Sharman, the first Brit in space, she said you

:12:28. > :12:31.get a patch to the spacecraft, it is essential for the most dangerous

:12:32. > :12:34.part of the mission -- attached to the spacecraft. It is now on display

:12:35. > :12:39.for everybody to come and see, a piece of history at the science

:12:40. > :12:44.Museum, and Tim Peake with it. Banks, Rebecca. We will be talking

:12:45. > :12:48.to Major Tim Peake himself, hopefully in about ten minutes. He

:12:49. > :12:53.looks a bit busy at the minute! We'll let him do his tours. Do you

:12:54. > :12:57.think they got a discount for the scorch marks on the scratches on the

:12:58. > :12:59.side of it when Becks marked its not exactly a new vehicle. Before we

:13:48. > :13:51.lovely to be here. We didn't get to go to the party, but we're not

:13:52. > :13:57.bitter. It's not the winning that counts. It's not even the party that

:13:58. > :14:00.counts, it's just being here with you every day. Sincerity is in from

:14:01. > :14:03.every pore! Children's health in the UK

:14:04. > :14:05.is in jeopardy, with higher death rates and levels of obesity

:14:06. > :14:08.than in much of Europe. That's the warning from

:14:09. > :14:10.the The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.

:14:11. > :14:12.In a major report out today, the body also highlights

:14:13. > :14:14.a growing gap between rich Let's find out more on this

:14:15. > :14:18.from Dr Ronny Cheung, who's from the Royal College

:14:19. > :14:31.of Paediatrics and Child Health. Thank you very much indeed for

:14:32. > :14:34.joining us here this morning. These are bold warnings and claims. What

:14:35. > :14:40.makes you so sure that things aren't as bad as the picture that you are

:14:41. > :14:43.painting? Well, this is the first opportunity to manage and really

:14:44. > :14:48.pull together all of the data around Child health in this country. Across

:14:49. > :14:53.all four nations. Across 25 health indicators across the board, what we

:14:54. > :14:57.have seen is that for many of them, we are not doing as well as we have

:14:58. > :15:02.been doing, and certainly not as well as compared to our neighbours,

:15:03. > :15:07.our comparable neighbours in Western Europe. For instance, in terms of

:15:08. > :15:12.our child mortality levels, the rate of child deaths in childhood, we

:15:13. > :15:16.have gone from being amongst the best in Europe, 20 or 30 years ago,

:15:17. > :15:22.the now being amongst the worst. As you have said earlier on, the gap

:15:23. > :15:27.between the outcomes for the poorest and the most affluent children in

:15:28. > :15:28.this country is growing. Again, that pattern is replicated across all

:15:29. > :15:37.indicators. We have a statement from the

:15:38. > :15:40.Department of Health, who say it is a top priority for the Government.

:15:41. > :15:46.They say they have dealt with tobacco, a soft drinks levy, obesity

:15:47. > :15:50.strategy. We have similar statements from devolved governments. If all

:15:51. > :15:54.that is going on, why do you say we are not seeing the improvements? We

:15:55. > :15:59.welcome a lot of the strategies and policies that have come through from

:16:00. > :16:03.the Government, but we don't think that some of them have gone far

:16:04. > :16:10.enough. We need to be bolder in some of our strategies and policies that

:16:11. > :16:14.come through. For instance, things based in good evidence, such as

:16:15. > :16:21.minimum alcohol pricing, thinking about a tax levy on high sugar and

:16:22. > :16:25.high fat foods, and reducing the advertising of those foods to young

:16:26. > :16:33.children. It goes a little beyond that. We'd like to see, firstly, a

:16:34. > :16:44.focus on tackling child poverty. As I said earlier, poorer children are

:16:45. > :16:47.unhealthy children. And they will become the unhealthy adults in 20,

:16:48. > :16:54.30 years. We are storing up problems if we don't tackle this now. We

:16:55. > :16:57.should think about a unified national strategy, a cross

:16:58. > :17:02.Government strategy for child health which looks at all areas of policy

:17:03. > :17:07.and has child health embedded in all of those, be that in health, the

:17:08. > :17:12.economy, in social care, and also education. You say in this report

:17:13. > :17:17.that we are falling behind other countries in Western Europe - what

:17:18. > :17:23.are they doing? Are there lessons that we can learn or is this a

:17:24. > :17:28.cultural, social thing? With all of these things, it is different...

:17:29. > :17:32.There are lots of different causes. We know that poverty is an issue,

:17:33. > :17:37.but we also know that public health, in other words, an investment in

:17:38. > :17:41.services that help tackle the causes of ill health, has been reducing

:17:42. > :17:45.significantly in this country in the recent past. I think if we don't

:17:46. > :17:51.manage to reinvest that money and that support for families and young

:17:52. > :17:54.children, we will not be able to manage... We won't be able to get on

:17:55. > :17:58.top of the problem and we will be chasing after it by investing more

:17:59. > :17:59.in health care and health care problems in the future. Thank you

:18:00. > :18:11.for joining us. I wonder what time it feels like to

:18:12. > :18:19.Carol. She has had three hours sleep. I saw a picture of her in a

:18:20. > :18:26.24-hour supermarket. What time did you get to bed after the TV awards?

:18:27. > :18:38.Quarter to midnight. What might you look very fresh. -- you look very

:18:39. > :18:49.fresh. How was the weather? Very fresh!

:18:50. > :18:54.Today, it will feel quite bitter. We are pulling in all this cold air

:18:55. > :19:02.from the near continent and it's going to sweep across our shores.

:19:03. > :19:06.Wrap up warmly. You will feel it. I will show you that in a second.

:19:07. > :19:13.There is also a lot of clout. Here and there are, it is they can offer

:19:14. > :19:18.drizzle or the odd snow flurry. There is the risk of ice on

:19:19. > :19:23.untreated surfaces, roads and pavements alike, first thing this

:19:24. > :19:27.morning. In northern Scotland, a cold but beautiful day from the word

:19:28. > :19:30.go. The rest of Scotland and parts of northern England will see some

:19:31. > :19:37.breaks in the cloud, but there is a lot of cloud around. The cloud will

:19:38. > :19:40.start to break up in southern counties of England, and some of us

:19:41. > :19:47.will see some sunshine. The far south of England and into the South

:19:48. > :19:50.West. Although there are temperatures of four Celsius in

:19:51. > :20:01.Barnstaple, in the wind, it will feel colder. A lot of cloud in Wales

:20:02. > :20:07.still, despite the breaks. There could be some doubt and drizzle in

:20:08. > :20:11.Northern Ireland. Three Celsius is the maximum temperature in Glasgow.

:20:12. > :20:19.With the wind chill, it will feel more like freezing. Through the

:20:20. > :20:23.evening and overnight, still quite a windy one in prospect, then we have

:20:24. > :20:27.a cluster of weather fronts moving in from the north and the West. They

:20:28. > :20:32.will introduce more unsettled conditions in the form of rain. It

:20:33. > :20:37.is still quite windy. This cold continental wind is still coming our

:20:38. > :20:45.way. A frosty start for some tomorrow. Milder air starts to sweep

:20:46. > :20:48.into the West. Less cold air moves across central and eastern areas. It

:20:49. > :20:53.is certainly not going to be mild in central and eastern areas. On

:20:54. > :20:59.Saturday, a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. Then

:21:00. > :21:04.you can see what is waiting in the wings for Sunday. There is still

:21:05. > :21:09.some uncertainty as to where this low pressure will end up. We think

:21:10. > :21:12.at the moment it will bring rain to parts of Wales in southern England.

:21:13. > :21:17.It might get this far north, but it might stay further south. If you are

:21:18. > :21:21.doing something outdoors, do keep in touch with the weather forecast.

:21:22. > :21:25.Further north, it looks at this stage like it will stay dry and find

:21:26. > :21:31.with some sunshine. Temperatures continue to climb. The maximum

:21:32. > :21:36.temperature in London today is run about one Celsius. By Sunday, it

:21:37. > :21:38.will be a leading Celsius. Carroll, one more to go and then it is home

:21:39. > :22:00.time! The spacecraft which took

:22:01. > :22:02.Major Tim Peake to and from the International Space Station

:22:03. > :22:05.is going on public display today. The Soyuz capsule, still scorched

:22:06. > :22:07.from its re-entry into the Earth's I should say extraterrestrials

:22:08. > :22:09.Science Correspondent! It must be an exciting day,

:22:10. > :22:44.having a good look at It is really cool seeing that union

:22:45. > :23:12.Jack going outside. There he goes! Major Tim Peake is at

:23:13. > :23:18.the science Museum for us. Good morning. And stood in front of it,

:23:19. > :23:24.does it bring back brilliant memories when you see your capsule?

:23:25. > :23:27.Good morning. Yes, it certainly does. I arrived here about 30

:23:28. > :23:33.minutes ago, and this was the first time I had seen this capsule since

:23:34. > :23:37.the 18th of June in Kazakhstan, and it has brought back all the memories

:23:38. > :23:41.of the mission. We have seen some pictures of your trip to space. Tell

:23:42. > :23:49.us about the capsule. It looks fairly small to, -- fairly small, to

:23:50. > :23:54.be honest. It comprises three pieces. The other two pieces

:23:55. > :24:00.separate just before we come back to the's atmosphere and they burn up.

:24:01. > :24:03.The heat shield was jettisoned before landing as well, and this is

:24:04. > :24:10.the only part that comes back to Earth, with the three crew members

:24:11. > :24:14.and about a hundred kilos of cargo. Above me is also the huge canopy

:24:15. > :24:19.which brings the capsule back to Earth safely. Obviously, an

:24:20. > :24:24.important part of your life, but a brilliant bit of science and British

:24:25. > :24:30.history for everyone to see now. It is, it is wonderful to see this

:24:31. > :24:34.actual back in the UK. For everybody who gets to visit, I hope it will be

:24:35. > :24:44.a great source of inspiration and will maybe so the seeds for young

:24:45. > :24:48.people. I remember seeing this type of exhibit in museums as a child and

:24:49. > :24:54.being inspired. It has done a fair few million miles in its time - what

:24:55. > :24:58.is actually inside it, then? Inside is just about enough room for the

:24:59. > :25:02.three crew members. I looked in the window this morning, and it even has

:25:03. > :25:10.the seat liners that were moulded to our bodies. They are still in there.

:25:11. > :25:14.In addition, the control panels and all the other bits and pieces that

:25:15. > :25:20.enable us to control this spacecraft during launch and re-entry. It

:25:21. > :25:24.really does have one careful user, it is in great condition. It is the

:25:25. > :25:30.incredible to see it here and this CD scorch marks. Coming back into

:25:31. > :25:34.the's atmosphere is very punishing that any space vehicle, so to see

:25:35. > :25:39.the punishment this capsule has been through this morning is incredible.

:25:40. > :25:45.Doing what you did is very rare and very expensive - tell us a bit about

:25:46. > :25:51.why your trip was so important, what was the return on investment. From

:25:52. > :25:57.an economic sense, it makes absolute sense for the UK to be involved in

:25:58. > :26:05.human space flight. We get a huge return on our investment - around

:26:06. > :26:09.2-1. In addition to the economic return, it is great for our industry

:26:10. > :26:12.to be involved and for the science community to be involved. We are

:26:13. > :26:18.doing great science on board the space station. We have started DNA

:26:19. > :26:22.sequencing and genetic research. Also, for educational inspiration

:26:23. > :26:27.was not so there are many great benefits in being involved in the

:26:28. > :26:32.space programme, now and in the future. And I understand you are

:26:33. > :26:39.going back to space in the future? Yellow like the space station is

:26:40. > :26:47.going to go until 2024 at least. The European Space Agency and the UK

:26:48. > :26:51.will be involved until then. It gives us a second opportunity to go

:26:52. > :26:55.back to the space station. In fact, some of my colleagues are already

:26:56. > :27:00.going back for their second mission next year. It is great for European

:27:01. > :27:04.astronauts to be able to go back and continue our involvement in the

:27:05. > :27:08.space programme. An absolute treat adult you.

:27:09. > :30:26.Thank you for joining us. I would buy a used

:31:22. > :31:23.whether to bring back techniques such as water-boarding, which

:31:24. > :31:32.I have spoken as recently as 24 hours ago with people at the highest

:31:33. > :31:34.level of intelligence and I ask them the question, "Does it work?

:31:35. > :31:43.And the answer was, "Yes, absolutely."

:31:44. > :31:46.The Government will publish a Bill today, to enable it to invoke

:31:47. > :31:48.Article 50 and trigger the process of Britain leaving

:31:49. > :31:53.The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, has said the bill

:33:59. > :34:01.Best TV Judge went to a very surprised Mary Berry in her final

:34:02. > :34:15.The first and most important thing is to be fair,

:34:16. > :34:17.Despite our television viewing habits changing,

:34:18. > :34:21.the average household watches about 3.5 hours a day.

:34:22. > :34:24.Nights like the NTAs are a chance to celebrate the best

:35:03. > :35:08.The perennial Saturday night staple, which turned 30 last year, beat some

:35:09. > :35:13.high budget affairs like Game Of Thrones.

:35:14. > :35:17.It looks like they had a great night without us!

:35:18. > :35:21.They sent us some pictures. That meant the world!

:35:25. > :35:28.is on at 9am on BBC Two. Let's see what's

:35:29. > :35:40.on today's programme. Today, and exclusive interview with

:35:41. > :35:45.Raffaele Sollecito, who, together with Amanda Knox, was wrongly

:35:46. > :35:49.imprisoned for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher. I am a

:35:50. > :35:53.normal guy who passed through a nightmare. Now, I'm different

:35:54. > :36:00.because of the nightmare I passed through, but I'm innocent. This week

:36:01. > :36:04.he finds out if he is to receive compensation for what he

:36:05. > :36:07.experienced. Join us after Breakfast on BBC Two, the BBC News Channel,

:36:08. > :36:10.and online. Victoria, thank you.

:36:11. > :36:14.Coming up here on Breakfast this morning...

:36:15. > :36:17.From the outside, it appeared to be an ordinary Brixton flat,

:36:18. > :36:19.but for decades it housed an extraordinary secret.

:36:20. > :36:21.We'll find out more about the strange cult

:36:22. > :36:23.and the people who helped rescue those enslaved in it.

:36:24. > :36:30.The former dentist who took up sprinting in his 90s.

:36:31. > :36:33.Now a world record holder, Charles Eugster will be here to tell

:36:34. > :36:38.us why he's refusing to slow down in old age.

:36:39. > :36:44.We've travelled to Tokyo to find out how the man known

:36:45. > :36:47.as the Steven Spielberg of gaming is planning to change the industry

:36:48. > :37:04.We talked about double act this morning with ant and Dec...

:37:05. > :37:08.The Williams sisters! Another 88 pinching the headlines. It is

:37:09. > :37:12.difficult for Venus, your sister on the cusp of winning a

:37:13. > :37:16.record-breaking 23rd grand slam title and you watch the only one

:37:17. > :37:20.standing in her way. What do you do? Venus is an amazing competitor, of

:37:21. > :37:25.course she will be giving everything in the final on Saturday. But... You

:37:26. > :37:28.would not want to be in the locker room afterwards or on the flight

:37:29. > :37:31.home with your sister afterwards if you had beaten her to stop her

:37:32. > :37:34.winning that! Have a seat in between!

:37:35. > :37:37.It's Serena vs Venus at the Australian Open -

:37:38. > :37:38.the first all-Williams final since the Wimbledon

:37:39. > :37:42.Serena, a six-time winner in Melbourne, comfortably

:37:43. > :37:43.beat the world number 79 Mirjana Lucic-Baroni

:37:44. > :37:51.Baroni was playing in her first Grand Slam semifinal in 18 years.

:37:52. > :37:58.And she couldn't match the pace and power of the world number two.

:37:59. > :38:04.And, at the age of 36, her older sister Venus is through.

:38:05. > :38:06.The seven-time Grand Slam beat Coco Vandeweghe in three sets -

:38:07. > :38:09.she said it would be a dream to see Serena on the other side

:38:10. > :38:13.And we're guaranteed a British winner in the men's wheelchair

:38:14. > :38:20.doubles in Melbourne, because Alfie Hewitt

:38:21. > :38:24.and Gordon Reid will face off with their respective partners.

:38:25. > :38:26.Andy Lapthorne is on court at the moment, going for his third

:38:27. > :38:29.Australian Open title in the quad doubles - he and his partner have

:38:30. > :38:32.Southampton beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield last night

:38:33. > :38:38.1-0 up from the first leg, Saints spent much of the match

:38:39. > :38:40.defending before Shane Long booked his side's trip to Wembley.

:38:41. > :38:42.They reached the final without conceding a goal.

:38:43. > :38:44.Southampton will play either Hull City or Manchester United

:38:45. > :38:46.who play their second-leg semi tonight.

:38:52. > :38:56.They beat St Johnston 1-0 in the first game in the league

:38:57. > :38:59.since the winter break and have now gone 26 domestic games unbeaten,

:39:00. > :39:05.Meanwhile, in the Scottish Cup, Hearts came back from 1-0 down

:39:06. > :39:08.to beat Championship Raith Rovers 4-2 in extra time of their

:39:09. > :39:12.They'll host Edinburgh rivals Hibs next.

:39:13. > :39:17.Britain's Millie Knight and guide Brett Wild won downhill gold

:39:18. > :39:19.on the opening day of the World Para Alpine Skiing

:39:20. > :39:25.The 18-year-old visually-impaired skier beat the five-time

:39:26. > :39:26.Paralympic champion Henrieta Farkasova of Slovakia.

:39:27. > :39:29.Knight was Britain's youngest athlete at the Sochi Paralympics

:39:30. > :39:31.and has dominated the World Cup circuit in recent months

:39:32. > :39:39.winning 11 medals - seven of them gold.

:39:40. > :39:46.When we came into this, we thought, we just want to be pleased with our

:39:47. > :39:49.runs, we want to be able to come down, finished the line and think,

:39:50. > :39:53.yes, I'm pleased with that, we did our best, we couldn't go any faster,

:39:54. > :39:59.and the result would look after its self. We got both of those feelings

:40:00. > :40:04.today, so chuffed! It is amazing what she does, Brett,

:40:05. > :40:08.her guide, skis down in front of her and shouts the instructions, she has

:40:09. > :40:13.to listen out and feel when two... So brave, not being able to see

:40:14. > :40:15.where you are going particularly well and throw yourself down a

:40:16. > :40:21.mountain like that. Well done to her.

:40:22. > :40:24.When it comes to sporting stars, the achievements of our next

:40:25. > :40:34.He is absolutely nailing it in his 90s.

:40:35. > :40:37.In 2015, Charles Eugster set a new world record for the 200m -

:40:38. > :40:48.Since retiring, the former dentist has also won numerous medals

:40:49. > :40:58.Now, at the of 97, he shows no sign of slowing down.

:40:59. > :41:03.Charles wants to redefine the way we see old age so he's written

:41:04. > :41:05.a book about getting older and staying active.

:41:06. > :41:08.We'll speak to him in a moment, but first let's see what goes

:41:09. > :41:58.Relentless! Child is with us this morning, good morning. I am amazed

:41:59. > :42:03.to see you in a suit, I thought you would be wearing your shorts and a

:42:04. > :42:08.T-shirt. Well, I consider this to be a very special occasion, so I

:42:09. > :42:12.thought it would be appropriate if I should wear a tie. Well, we are

:42:13. > :42:27.delighted to have you. You have got your medals with you... I have just

:42:28. > :42:33.two, the world champion, two World Championships. This is for which

:42:34. > :42:41.sport? You have done so many! This is 100 metres and 200 metres. And

:42:42. > :42:46.seeing your training regime there, Charles, do you ever have a break or

:42:47. > :42:54.are you constantly on the move?! Oh, no, no, that is a complete

:42:55. > :42:59.misunderstanding. At the present time, my coach puts me through a

:43:00. > :43:06.very tough regime. We train for about three hours, but only once a

:43:07. > :43:13.week. In the other days, if the weather is OK, I do my running or

:43:14. > :43:16.sprinting. We are seeing some pictures of you running here because

:43:17. > :43:21.Mike Bushell, our presenter, did some training with you a couple of

:43:22. > :43:25.years ago, didn't he? Reading the book you have written, what

:43:26. > :43:31.surprised me, I assumed you had been a really sporty youngster, into

:43:32. > :43:36.sports and games and PE, but that is not the case, you were quite sick as

:43:37. > :43:42.a child? I was very sickly child, and the other point that I think

:43:43. > :43:49.should be remembered is the fact that, during the middle-aged, I was

:43:50. > :43:55.a self-satisfied bolding lump of lard. There is nothing wrong with

:43:56. > :44:03.that, Charles! And then your life change? And then my life changed

:44:04. > :44:07.simply because I realised that there was a new rowing category, the

:44:08. > :44:13.oldest age at that particular time was 60 and so I started rowing at

:44:14. > :44:18.the age of 63. Was that hard? There will be a lot of people who will be

:44:19. > :44:23.so inspired by you and think, if he can do it, I can do it. What it

:44:24. > :44:27.difficult at the age of 63 to suddenly become a row were? No,

:44:28. > :44:41.because I had been growing at school and also during university, and just

:44:42. > :44:46.restarted. So one of the great advantages of education here in the

:44:47. > :44:52.UK is the opportunity to learn so many different sports and in older

:44:53. > :44:58.age you can then pick out one that would apply to you. You also write

:44:59. > :45:02.very honestly about losing your wife and basically having to make a

:45:03. > :45:06.choice about what you wanted to do with your life, and you just threw

:45:07. > :45:12.everything into going forward and embracing the opportunities in front

:45:13. > :45:20.of you? Well, it's perhaps was not exactly like that. What happened was

:45:21. > :45:26.that I was rowing six days a week and at the age of about 86, in spite

:45:27. > :45:32.of the fact that I was rolling six days a week, my body began to

:45:33. > :45:37.deteriorate, and, being an extremely vain person, I wanted to do

:45:38. > :45:43.something about it, I wanted to build muscle. I tried some weights,

:45:44. > :45:50.that didn't give a great deal, so at the age of 807I joined a

:45:51. > :45:58.body-building club and employed a previous Mr Universe as a coach. The

:45:59. > :46:04.first thing that I learned was that I must not, under any circumstances,

:46:05. > :46:08.train six days a week. I must only, maximum, trained three, because if

:46:09. > :46:15.you build muscle you have to have a certain amount of recovery period.

:46:16. > :46:19.And that is extremely important because endurance exercise needs is

:46:20. > :46:27.shorter recovery period so that you can train six days a week, but if

:46:28. > :46:32.you do your exercise to build strength and muscle, you have to

:46:33. > :46:36.have a recovery period. I am also very vain, like you, so I have no

:46:37. > :46:42.intention of embarrassing myself on television but I would like to

:46:43. > :46:49.volunteer Steph Maybe some sit dips or something like that?

:46:50. > :47:00.The jacket is being undone. It must be serious! Let me take that. So,

:47:01. > :47:10.what are we doing? I will hold the microphone. So we can hear you. What

:47:11. > :47:13.are we doing here then? Are we doing dips? Are we going to have a

:47:14. > :47:24.competition over who can last longest? I think it will be you!

:47:25. > :47:28.Show us a few. OK. Do we count it? Let's just carry on! Tell me what

:47:29. > :47:33.would be your key thing that you would say to anyone watching, who is

:47:34. > :47:40.thinking, I don't know if I have the strength to do this. He's fast,

:47:41. > :47:45.isn't he! Do you know what, I'm going to stop. My arms are killing

:47:46. > :47:56.me! Charles, thank you so much. Let's leave him to its! I think you

:47:57. > :48:03.cheated! I probably did. Charles, 97 years old. I would say 97 years

:48:04. > :48:07.young! I'm out of breath! Thank you so much.

:48:08. > :48:14.Charles' book is called Age Is Just A Number.

:48:15. > :48:20.Clearly I need to work on my fitness!

:48:21. > :48:26.Figures out later this morning are expected to show the British

:48:27. > :48:29.economy finished last year strongly, providing evidence that the UK

:48:30. > :48:32.economy remained resilient in the fact of Brexit.

:48:33. > :48:36.Let's get more from Ben who's in London for us this morning.

:48:37. > :48:47.He's in the city with a great view. What are we expecting at 9:30am?

:48:48. > :48:51.Good morning. I could have done with some of those exercises to keep us

:48:52. > :48:55.warm up here this morning. But we have this great vantage point, the

:48:56. > :49:01.institution of engineering and technology in central London. We

:49:02. > :49:05.will be keeping a close eye on what we hear as far as economic growth is

:49:06. > :49:09.concerned, get the figure for the last quarter of last year. We will

:49:10. > :49:13.see how the economy fares in the wake of the Brexit vote. And with

:49:14. > :49:16.all sorts of changes as far as the economy is concerned going forward

:49:17. > :49:21.for the year ahead. What should we expect and what will mean for

:49:22. > :49:26.finances and the money in our pocket? Cathy and David, thank you

:49:27. > :49:29.for bearing the cold. We have talked already about the impact of

:49:30. > :49:33.uncertainty. That's the big thing this year. What would it mean for

:49:34. > :49:40.the money in our pocket, will we feel worse off this year? Writes

:49:41. > :49:45.now, no. Wages are actually going up and employment is at record levels.

:49:46. > :49:50.People have jobs and wages are rising, but I think we will feel it

:49:51. > :49:53.down the line. If businesses like financial businesses and big banks

:49:54. > :49:57.leave the city, that's where we will see unemployment levels rise and

:49:58. > :50:01.potentially wages come down and consumers will feel the pinch.

:50:02. > :50:09.Unemployment is rising and wages going down, not a pretty picture.

:50:10. > :50:15.No, but although I agree with 90% of what Cathy says, we are not going to

:50:16. > :50:18.have droves of people leaving the City of London. On the

:50:19. > :50:26.straightforward question of inflation, she will be correct,

:50:27. > :50:29.currently inflation is two point 6%. If it changes people would be more

:50:30. > :50:34.concerned about how they spend money. 60% of expenditure in this

:50:35. > :50:39.country comes from retail expenditure. If people are not

:50:40. > :50:45.spending money than unemployment will go up. Consumer spending has

:50:46. > :50:50.kept the economy so strong. The one caveat is that after 2008 the UK

:50:51. > :50:53.consumer was wonderful, and incredibly resilient beast. It could

:50:54. > :50:57.be the same this time. You are right, we do not know what will

:50:58. > :51:02.happen with Brexit. There is a lot for Theresa May to do. Lovely to

:51:03. > :51:05.speak to you both. That the state of play, wait and see. We get the

:51:06. > :51:14.figures at 9:30am. We are looking for a figure of 0.5%. The commute

:51:15. > :51:18.into London is well underway, streaming across Waterloo Bridge

:51:19. > :51:21.behind me. I'm impressed with the number of cyclists and joggers out

:51:22. > :51:26.this morning, some of them wearing shorts! It's freezing here this

:51:27. > :51:30.morning. Go and join them, Ben. It'll keep me warm! His brief

:51:31. > :51:38.silence was deafening then. We mentioned about the weather and

:51:39. > :51:43.how chilly it is in London, but what about the rest of the country?

:55:04. > :55:06.Thank you. 30 years ago, games were all

:55:07. > :55:09.about fighting things, until this man decided to make one

:55:10. > :55:12.about sneaking around instead. The stealth genre that is still

:55:13. > :55:16.so popular today was born. For decades he made Metal Gear

:55:17. > :55:22.titles for the giant gaming company Konami,

:55:23. > :55:27.which sold millions of copies. But after splitting from them

:55:28. > :55:30.controversially in 2015, gamers across the world

:55:31. > :55:32.are desperate to find out So far, just two trailers

:55:33. > :55:40.about his next game, Death Stranding, which will be

:55:41. > :55:50.a PlayStation exclusive. TRANSLATION: We want this game to be

:55:51. > :55:53.something that people can get into very easily,

:55:54. > :55:55.but after they play it for about an hour or two,

:55:56. > :55:58.they start to notice something It's something they

:55:59. > :56:03.haven't played before. It is normal to stay tight-lipped

:56:04. > :56:11.about upcoming projects like this. It's far too soon for people to test

:56:12. > :56:15.it, so no one can say But the idea that it's

:56:16. > :56:23.different from what's been As we visit places that have been

:56:24. > :56:28.important turning points in his recent history,

:56:29. > :56:31.he explained how he sees the gaming industry changing

:56:32. > :56:33.for ever with movies, games and music, converging

:56:34. > :56:36.in different ways. There are almost hidden movies

:56:37. > :56:53.or hidden series within the game? Yes, for example, or within

:56:54. > :56:56.the movie we have a game hidden. TRANSLATION: Things are just games

:56:57. > :57:03.and music and novels and movies, and all these things will kind

:57:04. > :57:06.of mesh together into one What struck me about spending time

:57:07. > :57:12.with Hideo Kojima is, here's a man who's achieved

:57:13. > :57:14.everything there is to within When I asked him about retirement

:57:15. > :57:18.he basically said, no chance. He's still really passionate

:57:19. > :57:19.and energetic about And he's still coming

:57:20. > :57:26.up with new ideas. And he's set himself his

:57:27. > :57:28.biggest challenge yet. He's changed the gaming

:57:29. > :57:30.industry once, and now So, what can we look

:57:31. > :57:42.forward to in the future, and how could advances in gaming be

:57:43. > :57:45.incorporated into our Joining us now is technology

:57:46. > :57:57.consultant, Tom Cheesewright. Good morning. It's an incredible

:57:58. > :58:03.story about him. He looks so young but he's 53. Gaming keeps you young!

:58:04. > :58:11.Explain why he's so important in the industry. He's got that important

:58:12. > :58:16.vision. He created the Metal Gear franchise, stealth and speaking out.

:58:17. > :58:24.I don't like it, I like blowing things up! -- sneaking around. But

:58:25. > :58:28.the scale of that franchise as well, it was one of the first franchises

:58:29. > :58:33.that rather than coming in from books or gaming or films was created

:58:34. > :58:37.in gaming and built up to the point where it stood on its own two feet.

:58:38. > :58:41.It sounds like he's influenced and set the agenda, he's been ahead of

:58:42. > :58:45.the curve the whole way. Is he right when he predicts the next stage

:58:46. > :58:50.about this fusing of novels and movies and games together into one

:58:51. > :58:55.output? I would say yes and no. We see lots more crossover of comics,

:58:56. > :59:00.books and films and games. The Marvel franchise is a good example.

:59:01. > :59:05.I don't think one necessarily replaces the other. Films didn't

:59:06. > :59:08.replace books. Records and LPs are still around despite CDs and digital

:59:09. > :59:14.music. Just because you bring them all together and you're able to

:59:15. > :59:16.doesn't mean you do. There is something about passive

:59:17. > :59:23.entertainment and absorbing someone else's vision and being in the game.

:59:24. > :59:26.I think games will be increasingly cinematic, especially at the high

:59:27. > :59:30.with virtual reality but I don't think it necessarily replaces all

:59:31. > :59:35.the other games or entertainment. But games are so pricey that's an

:59:36. > :59:41.issue. Will they be eight big cost in the future for parents? Yes and

:59:42. > :59:46.no. About ?80 billion split three ways in the industry now between PC,

:59:47. > :59:51.high-end gaming with virtual reality. The console market is still

:59:52. > :59:55.pricey, but mobile gaming is now the biggest segment and we pay

:59:56. > :59:59.relatively small sums up front, if anything, and that's the way the

:00:00. > :00:05.market goes, players you play. -- pay as you play.

:00:06. > :00:17.The school day is beginning for many across the country.

:00:18. > :00:25.But keeping up with schoolwork can be stressful for any young person,

:00:26. > :00:27.especially those caring for a loved one.

:00:28. > :00:29.Research from the Carers Trust has revealed almost three quarters

:00:30. > :00:32.of young carers take time off school to look after relatives,

:00:33. > :00:34.while more than half struggle to meet deadlines.

:00:35. > :00:37.Holly Hamilton has been to meet two sisters who care for their mum -

:00:38. > :00:47.Just nine and 13, they have big dreams of becoming actresses.

:00:48. > :00:53.But right now their job is taking care of their mum.

:00:54. > :00:57.When she had a heart attack she got tunnel vision, and then it is hard

:00:58. > :01:06.I do a lot of tidying up, packing things away and keeping

:01:07. > :01:08.things off the floor, because when things are on the floor

:01:09. > :01:15.I was the kind of mum that did everything for her children,

:01:16. > :01:17.the running around, the picking up, and they relied

:01:18. > :01:23.And then suddenly I couldn't do anything for them and found

:01:24. > :01:27.that they were having to do things for me.

:01:28. > :01:38.That's what we've been learning about.

:01:39. > :01:45.Claudia and Leonie are young carers, like more than 700,000 children

:01:46. > :01:48.in the UK, many providing care for over 50 hours a week.

:01:49. > :01:51.So it's no surprise that a survey by the Carers Trust

:01:52. > :01:53.found that more than half of those aged 16-25 were struggling

:01:54. > :01:56.Homework is the thing I struggle with because I'm

:01:57. > :02:00.always doing loads of chores and stuff, and then I have to find

:02:01. > :02:07.Local council bosses say it is vital young carers

:02:08. > :02:10.are identified so they can get the support they need

:02:11. > :02:27.You see everyone and you think, "Oh, they're so lucky,

:02:28. > :02:30.they can do all this and that," but then you think, "Oh,

:02:31. > :02:34.But then I also think it is important that I help her out

:02:35. > :02:37.and I like being responsible for her, because it makes

:02:38. > :02:41.Claudia and Leonie are getting help from their school,

:02:42. > :02:45.meaning they can focus on their schoolwork

:02:46. > :02:53.What does the word carer mean for you?

:02:54. > :02:55.Well, when I think "carer", I think it's not normal,

:02:56. > :03:02.Like, when you're an actress you have a big role to play,

:03:03. > :03:05.but then when you finish doing that part you need to stop,

:03:06. > :03:14.but it's like you're doing that role forever.

:03:15. > :03:24.Joining us now is Gail Scott-Spicer, who's chief executive

:03:25. > :03:36.You have been doing research and looking at the common problems? Yes,

:03:37. > :03:39.we have new data released today from the Carers Trust which showed young

:03:40. > :03:42.carollers are at real danger of not fulfilling their potential in

:03:43. > :03:46.education, shoving that they are not potentially going to reach their

:03:47. > :03:50.life ambitions, so we have got data today that shows half of young

:03:51. > :03:53.carers have problems coping with their schoolwork, they are

:03:54. > :03:56.struggling to meet deadlines and actually about a third of young

:03:57. > :04:00.carers are regularly having to skip school because of their caring

:04:01. > :04:07.responsibilities. How does a teacher, then, spot that a child who

:04:08. > :04:14.is caring is struggling or maybe not reaching their potential? What

:04:15. > :04:18.should teachers be looking out for? Today is Young Carers Awareness Day

:04:19. > :04:22.and it is precisely for that, so that teachers and other

:04:23. > :04:25.professionals, in health care and local authorities, can spot the

:04:26. > :04:30.signs and things to look out for, children being absent from school,

:04:31. > :04:34.behavioural issues, sometimes depression as well, all those sorts

:04:35. > :04:38.of things that you cannot out for. We support schools to be able to

:04:39. > :04:43.talk to carers in a way that will help them and not stigmatise them as

:04:44. > :04:45.well. I bet for a lot of them they probably don't want to add admit

:04:46. > :04:49.they have problems at home with their family because it is the kind

:04:50. > :04:55.of thing you can get picked on for at school? Yes, we know that young

:04:56. > :05:05.carers are bullied because they seem different, so even if their peers

:05:06. > :05:08.don't know they a Qera, it is really challenging, which is why we work

:05:09. > :05:10.with schools and support young carers directly. At Carers Trust we

:05:11. > :05:12.have 90 services around the country that are part of our network and

:05:13. > :05:15.support young carers with local support and activities and they can

:05:16. > :05:19.meet other carers and understand they are not alone and get support

:05:20. > :05:22.about what might be going on at school. Also they can reach out to

:05:23. > :05:26.somebody at school, a teacher or someone they might trust, in

:05:27. > :05:30.complete confidence to get support with what might be happening and

:05:31. > :05:34.help them engage more at school. One of the challenges is that their

:05:35. > :05:40.preacher ambitions can be completely shattered so what we are doing today

:05:41. > :05:44.is think about what carers want to be when they grow up, so it is great

:05:45. > :05:49.to be able to support professionals like teachers to talk to them. And

:05:50. > :05:54.opportunities to support one another online as well? Yes, if people go to

:05:55. > :06:01.the Carers Trust website, you can find our forums for children who are

:06:02. > :06:05.carers and older children who are carers, it can be anonymous, which

:06:06. > :06:09.can be a first step into getting support for themselves. I guess it

:06:10. > :06:13.can be quite a lonely thing as well as a responsible thing, can't it?

:06:14. > :06:14.Thank you very much indeed for coming on this morning.

:06:15. > :06:20.We'll be speaking to the film-maker Vanessa Engle in a moment

:06:21. > :06:22.about her documentary The Cult Next Door, as well as one

:06:23. > :06:27.But first, let's have a last, brief look at the headlines

:06:28. > :08:15.I'll be back at 1.30pm with the lunchtime news -

:08:16. > :08:21.In 2013, three woman emerged from a small,

:08:22. > :08:23.ordinary-looking flat in Brixton in south London.

:08:24. > :08:28.It soon came to light the walls had been hiding

:08:29. > :08:29.an extraordinary and distressing secret.

:08:30. > :08:32.For three decades, the women had been kept as prisoners -

:08:33. > :08:36.brainwashed and enslaved by a bizarre cult.

:08:37. > :08:37.The documentary-maker Vanessa Engle has been

:08:38. > :08:45.She joins us along with Yvonne Hall, a care worker who helped the women

:08:46. > :08:52.Thank you so much for coming in. This is a really, really difficult

:08:53. > :08:57.story to tell because so much of it happened behind closed doors, but I

:08:58. > :09:02.know you were desperately keen to tell it, to make the world aware of

:09:03. > :09:06.what happened? Yes, it is a riveting and extraordinary story but, as a

:09:07. > :09:10.film-maker, that was the challenge, that it took place over nearly 40

:09:11. > :09:15.years but all behind closed doors and there is no video footage, very

:09:16. > :09:21.few photographs taken. The challenge as a film-maker is how do you tell

:09:22. > :09:27.an amazing story when it all happened, as I say, in visibly?

:09:28. > :09:32.Evolved, how are the women now? You worked closely with them when they

:09:33. > :09:40.were rescued from this situation, how are they? In terms of Katy, she

:09:41. > :09:44.is doing very well, she has learned to live independently and is doing

:09:45. > :09:54.very well considering the start that she had in her life, being born in

:09:55. > :09:58.captivity. In terms of Aisha, she is integrating into the community

:09:59. > :10:04.beautifully, and unfortunately Josie is still not very well. She is

:10:05. > :10:08.campaigning to have her captors released. Which is quite common,

:10:09. > :10:11.isn't it? We can hear a clip from Katy.

:10:12. > :10:18.He used to say that everything would go against me if I had done wrong.

:10:19. > :10:25.So, like, possibly the light shouldn't work or the tap shouldn't

:10:26. > :10:41.work because everything's controlled by him, by "Jackie", he's my control

:10:42. > :10:46.So if I went to the bathroom or turn the tap on it

:10:47. > :10:48.shouldn't work because I had done wrong.

:10:49. > :10:54.Then when I went to the bathroom and the tap did work I

:10:55. > :10:58.thought, "Oh, the tap, you're on my side, thank you!"

:10:59. > :11:03.And hugged the toilet when the flush worked.

:11:04. > :11:14.Clearly they were all brainwashed by Aravindan Balakrishnan, can you

:11:15. > :11:19.explain this? Balakrishnan was very clever in the way he acted, he

:11:20. > :11:22.targeted vulnerable young women who were university educated and used

:11:23. > :11:29.brainwashing techniques to control their mind WHO. He also very

:11:30. > :11:38.invented this mind control machine called "Jackie", which is an acronym

:11:39. > :11:47.of all the gods, Jehovah, Allah Krishna, Christ, and he used that to

:11:48. > :11:51.maintain control by saying that this machine could actually kill them or

:11:52. > :11:58.damage or harm them if they didn't obey him. It is incredible to think

:11:59. > :12:03.that this was going on in a build up, busy neighbourhood and hardly

:12:04. > :12:06.anybody knew what was happening? Yes, we interviewed some of the

:12:07. > :12:10.neighbours in the film and a lot of them had noticed this was quite a

:12:11. > :12:14.strange group, but I think when the group came and went they tended to

:12:15. > :12:19.keep themselves to themselves or be quite hostile or monosyllabic, and I

:12:20. > :12:24.suppose it is a feature of living in a big city, we all have a level of

:12:25. > :12:32.anonymity and that is something people enjoy about living in a big

:12:33. > :12:34.city. Making a film like this, you realise that it is very, very

:12:35. > :12:37.chilling and unnerving to realise something so bizarre and so

:12:38. > :12:42.frightening can be happening within yards of where you might be living.

:12:43. > :12:45.Watching the documentary, the neighbours got quite upset about

:12:46. > :12:49.what had gone on, because what is interesting about this is it started

:12:50. > :12:53.off as a spiritual movement and then became sinister, so you can see how

:12:54. > :12:58.these women were trapped, because they really were brainwashed? They

:12:59. > :13:02.were absolutely brainwashed, and it started off as what they thought was

:13:03. > :13:05.a political movement, they wanted to make a difference in society, they

:13:06. > :13:10.were disgruntled with the way the world was at that time and they

:13:11. > :13:14.subscribed to Chairman Mao and his teachings, but over a period of time

:13:15. > :13:21.a lot of that followed was dropped off and they were left with a core

:13:22. > :13:22.group of people. We will have to leave it there, I'm afraid, but

:13:23. > :13:24.thank you both very much indeed. The Cult Next Door is

:13:25. > :13:27.on BBC Two tonight at 9pm. That's all from

:13:28. > :13:29.Breakfast this morning. You might get the impression

:13:30. > :13:52.that history is just a record
