Hello, this is Breakfast, with Steph McGovern and Jon Kay. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The US President, Donald Trump, has said he believes | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
torture works when dealing with terror suspects. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
In his first TV interview since taking office, | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
he said the US had to "fight fire with fire". | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
I want to do everything within the bounds of what you are allowed to do | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
legally, but do I feel it works? Absolutely, I feel it works. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
The PM Theresa May is travelling to Washington to meet Donald Trump | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
and has vowed to renew the UK's special relationship with the USA. | :00:37. | :00:49. | |
She says she isn't afraid to have a candid conversation. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Good morning it's Thursday the 26th of January. | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Children's health in the UK is lagging behind most other | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
European countries, according to a major new report. | :01:03. | :01:11. | |
We will get the latest economic growth figures later. They are | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
expected to show the economy did pretty well at the end of last year, | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
but with rising prices and a fall in the value of the pound, what will | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
the year ahead have in store? In sport, a Wembley | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
final for Southampton. They knock Liverpool | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
out of the League Cup It has taken Tim Peake | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
to space and back. Now the Soyuz capsule | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
is going to be landing in London. Good morning. Today is a cold start | :01:35. | :01:50. | |
to the day. We've also got a fair bit of cloud around. Some of it will | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
break to see some sunshine and a few of us will see some snow. Wherever | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
you are it will feel raw in the wind. More details in 15 minutes or | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
so. The US President Donald Trump has | :02:02. | :02:02. | |
said he believes that torture can work to get information out | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
of suspected terrorists. But he said he would seek further | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
advice before deciding whether to bring back techniques | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
such as water-boarding. Speaking to the American ABC network | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
in his first televised interview since becoming President, | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
he also repeated claims he'd make Mexico pay for a wall along | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
its border with the United States. Here's our Washington | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
correspondent, David Willis. Could America be set for a return to | :02:27. | :02:39. | |
the interrogation methods of old? A draft executive order suggest it is, | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
-- its commander-in-chief could be preparing to return to the dark days | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
of water boarding a reopening the so-called black site prisons | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
operated by the CIA. In his first TV interview since becoming president, | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Donald Trump made clear he is considering scrapping an order by | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
his predecessor, that terrorist suspects be treated in accordance | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
with international law. Torture works, the president declared. When | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
they are chopping off the heads of our people and other people and | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
chopping off the heads of people because they happen to be a | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Christian in the Middle East, when Isis is doing things that nobody has | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
heard of since Middle Eastern times, would I feel strongly about water | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
boarding? As far as I'm concerned we have to fight fire with fire. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
Reports suggest Mr Trump is also due to announce plans to close America's | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
orders to refugees for a period at least and implement tougher visa | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
restrictions on the distance from certain predominantly Muslim nations | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
with links to terrorism, what is known as extreme vetting. In an | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
effort to quell the influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico, is | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
the Trump has signed an executive order to begin work on building a | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
war between the two nations. A multimillion dollar venture that he | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
insist Mexico will be made to pay for. -- building a wall. Ultimately | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
it will come out of what's happening with Mexico and we will stop those | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
negotiations soon and we will be fully versed by Mexico. So they will | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
pay us back? Absolutely, 100%. That has ruffled the feathers of | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
America's seven neighbour. Mexico's president said they have no | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
intention of footing the bill. The Mexican president is due in | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
Washington next week. He faces difficult discussions with an | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
American counterpart clearly determined to reverse many of the | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
changes brought about why Barack Obama. David Willetts, BBC News, | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Washington. -- Willis. Theresa May will call for a renewed | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
special relationship with the United States, | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
when she addresses Republican A day before she becomes the first | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
international leader to meet President Trump, | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
the Prime Minister will argue for greater co-operation | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
in the fight against terrorism. Our political correspondent | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Chris Mason is at Westminster. It is an important visit. We will | :04:56. | :05:07. | |
hear special relationship endless is of the coming days. What can we | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
expect? That is the favourite phrase of any British Prime Minister in any | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
era, getting onto any plane and go to the US. We will hear references | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
to the special relationship again and again. Theresa May says it is | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
that relationship that will allow her to be candid in her | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
conversations with President Trump. She set across the Atlantic this | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
morning with a bagful of questions from MPs. They were suggested to her | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
yesterday in the Commons, specifically on torture, for | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
instance, but also on climate change. First stop is Philadelphia, | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
this away day for Republican politicians, the party of the | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
president. We will see the Prime Minister emphasised what she sees as | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
the importance of international organisations like Nato and the UN, | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
that President Trump has been sceptical about. She will also be in | :06:00. | :06:11. | |
the business of making friends. And she will take a Scottish artefact, | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
and old cup. The word dates back to Jaywick, the 17th century. That's a | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
nod to the fact that President Trump's mum grew up in Scotland. All | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
of that is about building bridges, given the team isn't so comp entry | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
about the team, during the election, one of them calling him Trump the | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
chump. And something significant is happening in the building behind | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
you. How significant is it really? What we will get this morning is all | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
things Brexit, because it doesn't go away. We'll get the first detail of | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
the bill that will make its way through Parliament and that's a | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
result of what we heard from the Supreme Court, in a day that will | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
have to be legislation in Parliament in order to start the whole process | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
of divorcing the EU, triggering Article 50. Today we will get the | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
wording of that. It is only the start of the process. We won't get | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
the start of the debate until next week. Thanks for now. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
Royal Bank of Scotland will take another financial hit | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
for mis-selling risky mortgages in America before the financial | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
The bank, which is more than 70% owned by the taxpayer, | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
could be fined an additional ?3 billion by the US | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
A major report into the health of children in the UK has found | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
an "alarming gap" exists between the rich and poor, | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
with one in five young people suffering as a result of poverty. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health also | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
suggests the UK is lagging behind most western European countries | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
when it comes to measures such as infant mortality | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
Our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes reports. | :08:00. | :08:09. | |
I'm an emotional wreck. Anxiety, depression and a need to be listened | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
to. These are the themes of short play on mental health, devised by | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
school students in Liverpool. The issues they touch on reflect those | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
in the day's report on the health of children and young people and paint | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
a picture of the UK struggling to match other countries and even | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
falling behind. The evidence have been developing for some time that | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
all is not well with children's health. It is the first time we have | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
put together a proper picture of cross all four countries and the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
news is not good. Some of the issues that raise concerns over the state | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
of child health include just 34% of babies rested to six months, this | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
than half the rate in Norway. 40% of children in England's most deprived | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
areas are overweight or obese and half of adult mental health problems | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
start before the age of 14. And for the drama group in Liverpool, mental | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
health issues are a real priority. Mental illness is an illness of the | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
brain and they are as valid as any other illnesses to any other part of | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
the body. Just because you can't see it physically doesn't mean it isn't | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
there. Our production will mainly be to get rid of that stigma about | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
mental health and just educate the audience a bit more about mental | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
health. The four governments of the UK are all challenged to consider | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
the impact their policies will have on children. They've responded by | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
restating commitments to improve children's health. | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
Ambulance crews are finding it "increasingly difficult to cope", | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
an investigation into the service in England has found. | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
The National Audit Office said rising demand, recruitment | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
problems and wider NHS pressures meant crews were failing | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
The number of cars built in the UK has reached a 17-year high, | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
but investment fell last year amid uncertainty over the future | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
of the economy following the Brexit vote. | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
Around 1.7 million cars rolled off production lines last year | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
Investment in in the -- in the industry fell last year because of | :10:09. | :10:19. | |
continued uncertainty about the economy, following the Brexit vote. | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
Almost half of all hospitals are failing to meet basic government | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
standards for hospital food, according to data released | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
The Campaign for Better Hospital Food warns | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
The government says standards are improving. | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
Ant and Dec won three gongs at the National Television Awards | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
in London last night, while the BBC presenter | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Graham Norton was recognised for his services to broadcasting. | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
Strictly Come Dancing's Len Goodman, who retired from the show | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
in December, lost out as the public's choice of Best Judge | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
to the Great British Bake-Off's Mary Berry. | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
Please welcome your host for the night! The National Television | :11:03. | :11:18. | |
Awards bring out the great and the good of the television screen. A new | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
category was introduced this year for period drama, won by Call the | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
Midwife. Best comedy went to Mrs Brown's Boys and it was Strictly | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
Come Dancing that got the award for best talent show. Best TV judge went | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
to a very surprised Mary Berry in her final turn on the Great British | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
Bake Off. The first and foremost thing is to be fair, encouraging and | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
honest. Despite our television viewing habits changing, the average | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
household what is about 3.5 hours a day. Nights like these are chance to | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
celebrate the best of what's on the box. Ladies and gentlemen, the | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
nation's heartthrob, Mr Graham Norton! Chatshow host Graham Norton | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
collected the Lifetime Achievement Award. And Ant and Dec won best TV | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
presenter for the 16th year in a row. We are very lucky to have the | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
three shows at the moment and law may it continue! We just want to | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
keep making good telly. Casualty! But the surprise of the night was | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
Casualty was Mac win for best Drama. The Saturday night staple which | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
turned 30 last year. -- for best drama. | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
I think a lot of fun was had, including by our team. | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
Carol is up again this morning working! | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
She is a hero. We need to get all of the gossip. | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
Too right. I've seen some pictures. Not fit for early-morning | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
consumption, I am told. We are talking about the League Cup | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
semi-final last night. Liverpool seem to have lost their mojo. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
They've only had one win in seven this year. There was all this talk | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
of maybe being the premiership champions, but not looking good at | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
the moment. Southampton beat Liverpool 1-0 | :13:32. | :13:32. | |
at Anfield last night to reach 1-0 up from the first leg, | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
Saints spent much of the match defending before before Shane Long | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
scored in injury time. They'll play either Hull | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
or Manchester United who play their second | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
leg semi tonight. 14 years after last week in the | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
Australian Open final, Venus Williams is back. -Year-old | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
seven-time Grand Slam champion beat CoCo Vandeweghe in three sets. She's | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
hoping to see her sister at in the final, because Serena Williams is on | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
court shortly in the other semi-final. | :14:06. | :14:06. | |
Usain Bolt is to lose one of his nine Olympic gold medals, | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
after the International Olympic Committee disqualified his Jamaican | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
relay team-mate Nesta Carter over a doping violation at the Beijing | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
The IOC says Carter tested positive for a banned stimulant, | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
in a re-test of samples from the 2008 Olympics. | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
England rugby union head coach Eddie Jones has named Dylan Hartley | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
as captain of his side for the forthcoming Six Nations. | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
He won't have played for nine weeks before England's opening | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
Six of those due to a ban for striking. | :14:36. | :14:46. | |
You will be with us in a moment to look at the papers. Let's get the | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
gossip from Carol! Ben Blakeley must! You look or just! -- goodness! | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
Spill the beans. You know that what goes on tour | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
stays on tour. We have a bitter wind coming up from | :15:03. | :15:14. | |
the near continent. Temperatures are not as low as yesterday but | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
nonetheless, temperatures below freezing. You can see what is | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
happening today. All this blew across Europe are sure it is cold. | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
With the wind, we are dragging in this air across the shores. I would | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
show you how it will feel against your skin, as well as the | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
temperatures. A lot of cloud around and we could see snowflakes here and | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
there. Nothing too substantial and also drizzle. If you are out early, | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
watch out for ice on untreated surfaces. You can see the | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
temperatures below freezing. Not quite as low as yesterday. For | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
example except in the south-west. Also looking at a cloudy start as we | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
are across Wales and northern England. A pocket of fog but not in | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
the scale of this week. For Scotland, the far north will have | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
the lion 's share of the Sunshine today. For Northern Ireland, a fair | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
bit of clout and dampness in the air. Some drizzle around. -- cloud. | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
Through the rest of the day, you can speak it will still be called. Some | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
of the cloud will break up. -- you can see. A bit of sunshine coming | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
in, especially for Southern counties and Wales. You hang onto it across | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
the North of Scotland. This is how the temperatures will feel against | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
your skin. If you are stepping out in Newcastle, minus six. The wind | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
will be very strong, particularly in the north-west. It will be a windy | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
day out towards the north-west as well. This evening and tomorrow, the | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
wind veers to a northerly direction and you have a set of fronts coming | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
in, this complicated area of low pressure. That will turn the weather | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
more unsettled. Tomorrow, some early flecks of snow across eastern areas. | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
They will tend to fade and there will still be a lot of cloud around. | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
Still a bit bank. He comes the weather fronts. In from the West | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
bringing in some rain. -- dank. Milder in the south and are still | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
cool as we push further north. Becoming less called than it has | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
been. For Saturday, we still have this unsettled picture. The nature | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
of showers will mean not all of us will see one. Could be early fog but | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
some of us could see sunshine. I want to draw your attention to what | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
is happening down here. There is still uncertainty as to the exact | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
positioning of these that this is what we think at the moment, and it | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
could change, we have rain rattling across Southern counties. We will | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
have that through Sunday as well. Move away from that, dry and bright | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
and potentially the best day of the weekend, weatherwise, anyway. | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
Thank you Carol. We didn't win a category this morning but did you | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
have a good time? It was brilliant and it was lovely to see everybody. | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
We missed you guys. Yeah. You say that now. Carol, thank you. We are | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
going to get the gossip out of you, believe you me. The pictures I have | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
seen, they look like they missed nobody. | :18:15. | :18:15. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
President Trump has said he believes torture can work when dealing | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
The Prime Minister Theresa May will call for a renewed special | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
relationship with the US when she speaks to Republicans | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
She says she is not afraid of candid conversations. | :18:29. | :18:47. | |
Looking at the papers. The Daily Mail have story, a picture of Mary, | :18:48. | :19:03. | |
hardly believing her luck. George Osborne, ex- chancellor, has taken | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
on a new banking role which the mail says stinks because they claim he | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
had links to this company. The express has a picture of Hollywood. | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
There is a story here. All week stories about foods you can or can't | :19:24. | :19:34. | |
eat. Mushrooms are the superfood apparently they | :19:35. | :19:34. | |
eat. Mushrooms are the superfood dementia. There are mushrooms on the | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
front of the Daily Mirror as well. They are not talking about mushrooms | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
in your breakfast but a horse or moan they say is being injected into | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
some meat. They are calling it a scandal, a British meat scandal. -- | :19:46. | :19:55. | |
hormone. Also, Donald Trump and his interview last night with ABC. The | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
television channel. Also the fact that Theresa May will of course be | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
speaking and meeting with President Trump tomorrow and she is visiting | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
republicans, calling for stronger times next Robert ties between the | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
two countries. The Telegraph have transport story. After all of the | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
trouble, there is a claim that ministers are planning to take over. | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
Then, look at that. I love these pictures of Mary, yet in! -- get in! | :20:28. | :20:39. | |
Can I take you inside to a story which, it is about Happiness. What | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
do you think the secret to Happiness is, cat? Lots of sleep. In our job, | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
definitely. Apparently it's getting your kit off, according to this | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
article. If you are somebody who regularly gets naked, you are a -- | :20:56. | :21:06. | |
you are likely to be happy happier. You are more likely to be happier | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
about how you feel about life. For the sake of the nation's Happiness, | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
I think we should not try that. Not on television. This is a double page | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
spread. Jinnah how quick it is all about statistics and how it to you | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
work out how good a batsman is, you look at his average. Also with a | :21:26. | :21:35. | |
bowl. -- bowler. But how do you work out how good a fielder is? There has | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
been a computer programme that will work out how good a fielder is. This | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
is in England's last match against India. That drop for England was 23 | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
runs so he has got a -23 at Gran Steve Fielding score in England | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
selector's Handbook. -- against his Fielding score. A glimpse of the | :22:03. | :22:15. | |
future for cricket. Critics say... Cricket critics say that the human | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
side has been taken away and it's not much fun any more but other | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
people are saying that this is where cricket is going and this is the | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
future of the game. Quite interesting. They work it out by | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
calculating the runs multiplied by the difficulty of the catch. | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
Apparently he should have been 90% certain to have caught the ball and | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
he didn't. Thank you very much. We need more statistics. Of course, | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
today's the day that we get the latest stats on how the economy has | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
been doing. This is the latest growth figures. | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
Ben's in central London this morning. | :22:58. | :22:58. | |
How much should we read into these figures, Ben? | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
We are here on the rooftop of the i.e. The because it gives us a great | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
advantage of the city and the rest of London. We will be watching | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
closely to the economic growth figure -- IET. It might be able to | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
make out the shard between those buildings, all the way down the | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
South bank, the London Eye. In the distance, in the darkness at this | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
point the morning, is Big Ben and the houses of parliament. Both fair | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
and the city, they will be taking a close eye on the economic figure. It | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
is for the last quarter of last year. It is expected to have grown | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
by about 0.5%. Down slightly from what we have seen before but after | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
all the uncertainty with except, the squeeze on incomes, or what it could | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
mean for us. How will this feel for our pockets? We were out in | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
Manchester asking some of you hate you are feeling the squeeze. | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
People haven't got that much money like they used to. Obviously, having | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
to cut back on what I spend. Prices are going up all the time. What it | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
used to be in the past, it jumping. Cost of living going up. All right. | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
Just all right. Not amazing. It's difficult with a baby because I | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
don't work as many hours as they used to. But I'm OK. I think if you | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
know where you shop -- know where to shop, you can find decent prices. | :24:39. | :24:47. | |
Struggling. Why? Just am. I think things will get tighter but at the | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
moment, I am not as well off as I was the same age and with all that | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
is happening, it will get tighter. Those are some of the issues facing | :24:55. | :25:06. | |
us when it comes to money and a pocket. It will be the weakness in | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
the pound and that makes things we import from overseas more expensive. | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
That accounts for all the raw materials but also things like food | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
and a lot of supermarkets have been telling us they might have to raise | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
prices. There is also that uncertainty around Brexit. What will | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
it mean for business day to day. There is a lot of clarity they will | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
get to work out their plans for things like expansion or hiring more | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
staff. Of course, Ben Perry the squeeze on our income as well as | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
inflation. -- vendor areas. We will talk about that over course of the | :25:39. | :25:49. | |
evening. -- then there is the squeeze. Join me in half an hour and | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
we will talk through some of the figures. | :25:54. | :25:53. | |
As second-hand vehicles go, it doesn't sound very promising - | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
slightly scorched, 74 million miles on the clock and last seen | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
But the capsule which took Major Tim Peake into space - | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
and brought him safely back again - is an invaluable piece | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
It's going on public display in London, as our science | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
Just over one year ago, Tim Peake set off for his mission to the | :26:11. | :26:32. | |
International Space Station. Within weeks of being in orbit, he became | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
the first British astronaut to walk in space. It was the stuff of | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
scientific history. Then before you get the APM are off... Now the cut | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
shot has been brought by British science Museum. The museum says it | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
hopes the display will inspire those who see it. Especially children. | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
Many of who might wish to follow in Tim Peake's footsteps. The unveiling | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
of the capital will also be the first opportunity to hear from the | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
British astronaut, following the announcement last week by the head | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
of the European Space Agency, that Tim would be expected to fly and | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
other mission to the space station, sometime between 2019 and 2024. | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
We'll be talking to Tim Peake after 8:00, and in just over an hour | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
we'll hear from the first British astronaut, Helen Sharman. | :27:25. | :27:33. | |
Let's cross to the news teams around you to get the news, travel | :27:34. | :30:54. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
Now, though, it's back to Steph and Jon. | :30:58. | :31:00. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Jon Kay and Steph McGovern. | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
An alarming gap between rich and poor is leaving the health | :31:06. | :31:19. | |
That's the stark warning from the Royal College | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
of Paediatrics and Child Health, who'll join us after 8am | :31:25. | :31:26. | |
What goes up must come down, and the capsule which took Tim Peake | :31:27. | :31:35. | |
to space and back is going on display in London. | :31:36. | :31:38. | |
He'll join us along with Britain's first astronaut, Helen Sharman | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
to tell us how they hope it'll inspire future scientists. | :31:42. | :31:52. | |
And from the outside it appeared to be an ordinary Brixton | :31:53. | :31:54. | |
flat, but for decades it housed an extraordinary secret. | :31:55. | :31:59. | |
After 8am, we'll learn about the strange cult | :32:00. | :32:02. | |
and the people who helped rescue those enslaved in it. | :32:03. | :32:06. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news. | :32:07. | :32:10. | |
The US President Donald Trump has said he believes that torture can | :32:11. | :32:13. | |
work to get information out of suspected terrorists. | :32:14. | :32:20. | |
But he said he would seek further advice before deciding | :32:21. | :32:23. | |
whether to bring back techniques such as water-boarding. | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
Speaking to the American ABC network in his first televised | :32:26. | :32:28. | |
interview since becoming President, he also repeated his pledge to make | :32:29. | :32:31. | |
Mexico pay for a wall along its border with the United States. | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
Here's our Washington Correspondent, David Willis. | :32:35. | :32:36. | |
Could America be set for a return to the interrogation methods of old? | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
A draft executive order suggests its commander-in-chief | :32:41. | :32:42. | |
could be preparing to return to the dark days | :32:43. | :32:52. | |
of water boarding, by reopening the so-called black site prisons | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
In his first TV interview since becoming President, | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
Donald Trump made clear he is considering scrapping an order | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
by his predecessor, that terrorist suspects be treated in accordance | :33:02. | :33:03. | |
Torture works, the President declared. | :33:04. | :33:09. | |
When they're chopping off the heads of our people and other people, | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
when they're chopping off the heads of people because they happen to be | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
a Christian in the Middle East, when Isis is doing things that | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
nobody has ever heard of since Middle Eastern times, | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
-- medieval times, would I feel strongly about water boarding? | :33:25. | :33:26. | |
As far as I'm concerned, we have to fight fire with fire. | :33:27. | :33:30. | |
Reports suggest Mr Trump is also due to announce plans to close America's | :33:31. | :33:34. | |
borders to refugees, for a period at least, | :33:35. | :33:36. | |
and implement tougher visa restrictions | :33:37. | :33:38. | |
on citizens from certain predominantly Muslim nations | :33:39. | :33:40. | |
with links to terrorism, what is known as extreme vetting. | :33:41. | :33:45. | |
In an effort to quell the influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico, | :33:46. | :33:48. | |
Mr Trump has signed an executive order to begin work on building | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
A multimillion dollar venture that he insists Mexico will be made | :33:53. | :33:57. | |
Ultimately it will come out of what's happening with Mexico | :33:58. | :34:08. | |
and we will start those negotiations relatively soon and we will be | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
So they'll pay us back? Absolutely, 100%. | :34:12. | :34:14. | |
That has ruffled the feathers of America's southern neighbour. | :34:15. | :34:23. | |
In an address to the nation, Mexico's president said they have no | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
The Mexican president is due in Washington next week. | :34:27. | :34:30. | |
He faces difficult discussions with an American counterpart clearly | :34:31. | :34:33. | |
determined to reverse many of the changes brought | :34:34. | :34:35. | |
After 7am, we'll be getting the thoughts on this | :34:36. | :34:42. | |
of the Assistant Head of the US and Americas Programme at Chatham | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
Prime Minister Theresa May will be heading to the US, she is going | :34:46. | :34:57. | |
today. She will call for a renewed | :34:58. | :34:57. | |
special relationship with the United States, | :34:58. | :34:59. | |
when she addresses Republican politicians at their annual retreat | :35:00. | :35:02. | |
in Philadelphia later today. The Prime Minister is due to become | :35:03. | :35:04. | |
the first world leader to hold face-to-face talks | :35:05. | :35:07. | |
with President Trump, when they meet at the | :35:08. | :35:09. | |
White House tomorrow. She has said she's not afraid | :35:10. | :35:11. | |
of having a candid conversation. The government will publish a Bill | :35:12. | :35:17. | |
today, to enable it to invoke Article 50 and trigger | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
the process of Britain leaving The Brexit Secretary, | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
David Davis, has said the bill will be straightforward, | :35:24. | :35:26. | |
although opposition parties Royal Bank of Scotland will take | :35:27. | :35:28. | |
another financial hit for mis-selling risky mortgages | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
in America before the financial The bank, which is more than 70% | :35:34. | :35:36. | |
owned by the taxpayer, could be fined an additional | :35:37. | :35:44. | |
?3 billion by the US A major report into the health | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
of children in the UK has found an "alarming gap" exists | :35:48. | :35:54. | |
between the rich and poor, with one in five young people | :35:55. | :35:57. | |
suffering as a result of poverty. The Royal College of Paediatrics | :35:58. | :36:05. | |
and Child Health also suggests the UK is lagging behind | :36:06. | :36:08. | |
most Western European countries when it comes to measures | :36:09. | :36:11. | |
such as infant mortality The number of cars built in the UK | :36:12. | :36:13. | |
has reached a 17-year high, thanks to continued economic | :36:14. | :36:20. | |
recovery in Europe. Around 1.7 million cars rolled off | :36:21. | :36:22. | |
production lines last year But investment in the industry fell | :36:23. | :36:25. | |
last year because of continued uncertainty over the future | :36:26. | :36:34. | |
of the economy following Ant and Dec won the prize for best | :36:35. | :36:39. | |
TV presenter for the 16th year at last night's National | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
Television Awards. Can you imagine how big their trophy | :36:45. | :36:54. | |
cabinet is? She is catching up! | :36:55. | :36:55. | |
Other winners included Mary Berry for best judge | :36:56. | :36:58. | |
and Strictly Come Dancing picked up the gong for best talent show. | :36:59. | :37:02. | |
Emmerdale was voted best soap and ITV's This Morning won | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
They look quite surprised to win. It was a brilliant category to be in. | :37:06. | :37:21. | |
Our lot had a very good time and we will get the gossip about Carol, as | :37:22. | :37:25. | |
she went to the awards and is in this morning looking bright eyed and | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
bushy tailed, perhaps with the same make-up on! | :37:30. | :37:33. | |
Now to the morning's sport. Southampton are through to the final | :37:34. | :37:42. | |
of the League Cup, which is amazing when some of the big names weren't | :37:43. | :37:52. | |
playing. A big name they lost, they lost their manager over the summer, | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
but they seem to have carried on an ruffled. Here they are in the League | :37:57. | :37:59. | |
Cup final. Southampton beat Liverpool 1-0 | :38:00. | :38:01. | |
at Anfield last night to reach 1-0 up from the first leg, | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
Saints spent much of the match defending before Shane Long | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
booked his side's trip to Wembley. They reached the final | :38:10. | :38:12. | |
without conceding a goal. Southampton will play either | :38:13. | :38:14. | |
Hull City or Manchester United who play their second | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
leg semi tonight. It's not. It's fantastic. Fantastic. | :38:18. | :38:29. | |
And happy for the squad because they worked very hard since the beginning | :38:30. | :38:38. | |
of the season, and played every three games, -- days, which is very | :38:39. | :38:41. | |
difficult. Celtic have stretched | :38:42. | :38:42. | |
their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership | :38:43. | :38:44. | |
to 22 points. They beat St Johnston | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
1-0 in the first game in the league since the winter break | :38:50. | :38:52. | |
and have now gone 26 domestic games unbeaten, equalling | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
their own record. Meanwhile, in the Scottish Cup, | :38:56. | :38:57. | |
Hearts came back from 1-0 down to beat Championship Raith Rovers | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
4-2 in extra time of their Scottish They'll host Edinburgh | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
rivals Hibs next. Serena Williams is on court | :39:04. | :39:06. | |
in Melbourne right now, looking to book her place | :39:07. | :39:08. | |
in the Australian Open final. She's up against world number 79 | :39:09. | :39:12. | |
Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, who is in her first Grand Slam | :39:13. | :39:14. | |
semi-final in 18 years. The pair last played each other | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
at Wimbledon, in 1998. Serena the winner that day | :39:18. | :39:20. | |
and she has an early break She took it 6-2. If she wins it will | :39:21. | :39:36. | |
set up an all Williams grandslam final for the first time in 2009, | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
because Venus Williams is awaiting the winner. She beat CoCo Vandeweghe | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
in three sets. Usain Bolt is to lose one | :39:45. | :39:46. | |
of his nine Olympic gold medals, after the IOC disqualified his | :39:47. | :39:49. | |
Jamaican relay teammate Nesta Carter over a doping violation | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
at the Beijing Games. The IOC says Carter tested positive | :39:53. | :39:54. | |
for a banned stimulant in a re-analysis of samples | :39:55. | :39:57. | |
from the 2008 Olympics. Carter and Bolt were teammates | :39:58. | :40:10. | |
on the winning 4x100 As a result, the Jamaican team, | :40:11. | :40:13. | |
including Bolt, has been stripped of its gold, meaning he can no | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
longer claim to hold You can't rerun race and get those | :40:18. | :40:27. | |
medals back. An Usain Bolt's case we all know that what his last Olympic | :40:28. | :40:34. | |
Games. So it has gone from the medals which was unbelievable to | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
eight medals, at what he has achieved is still amazing. | :40:38. | :40:38. | |
Captain Eoin Morgan captain says the current England one day side | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
England lost the ODI series 2-1, but ended on a high with a five run | :40:42. | :40:47. | |
They play the first of three T20 games in Kanpur in a few hours. | :40:48. | :40:57. | |
We have a long way to go. It is the best white ball team I've been | :40:58. | :41:06. | |
apart. We have a lot of talent. Extracting that talent and | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
converting it into wins and results is the challenge for us. | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
Britain's Millie Knight and guide Brett Wild won downhill | :41:15. | :41:17. | |
gold on the opening day of the Para Alpine Skiing | :41:18. | :41:19. | |
The 18-year-old visually impaired skier beat the five-time Paralympic | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
champion Henrieta Farkasova of Slovakia. | :41:24. | :41:24. | |
Knight was Britain's youngest athlete at the Sochi Paralympics | :41:25. | :41:27. | |
and has dominated the World Cup circuit in recent months winning 11 | :41:28. | :41:30. | |
When we came into this we thought we just wanted to be pleased with our | :41:31. | :41:42. | |
arms and we wanted to come down, finished the bride and think I'm a | :41:43. | :41:46. | |
yes, IMB is to that, we couldn't have gone any faster and the result | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
looked after itself. What we got with those feelings today, so | :41:50. | :41:51. | |
chuffed! The records were a bit sketchy but | :41:52. | :41:58. | |

Keeping up with schoolwork can be stressful for any young person, | :42:09. | :42:11. | |
but how do those caring for a loved one balance their education | :42:12. | :42:14. | |
Research from the Carers Trust has revealed almost | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
three quarters of young carers take time off school to look | :42:19. | :42:20. | |
after relatives, while more than half struggle to meet deadlines. | :42:21. | :42:23. | |
Holly Hamilton has been to meet two sisters who care for their mum | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
Meet Claudia and Leonie. Did Mum take tablets? Just nine and 13, they | :42:28. | :42:43. | |
have big dreams of becoming actresses. But right now their job | :42:44. | :42:47. | |
is taking care of their mum. When she had a heart attack she got | :42:48. | :42:53. | |
tunnel vision and then it is hard for her, because she can't see. I do | :42:54. | :43:01. | |
a lot of tidying, packing things away and keeping things off the | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
floor, because when things are on the floor she will trip over them | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
easily. I was the kind of mum that did everything for her children, the | :43:10. | :43:16. | |
running around, but picking up, and they relied on me for everything. | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
And then suddenly I couldn't do anything for them and found that | :43:20. | :43:25. | |
they were having to do things for me. That's what we've been learning | :43:26. | :43:33. | |
about. The two are young carers, like more than 700,000 children in | :43:34. | :43:38. | |
the UK. Many providing care for over 50 hours a week. So it is no | :43:39. | :43:45. | |
surprise that a survey by the Carers -- Ida on sound more than half of | :43:46. | :43:49. | |
those aged 16- 25 were struggling to with school work. Homework is the | :43:50. | :43:54. | |
thing I struggle with because I'm always doing loads of chores and | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
stuff and then I have to find time to do all my homework. Local council | :44:01. | :44:08. | |
bosses say it is vital young carers are identified so they can get the | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
support we need to achieve their life ambitions. You see everyone and | :44:12. | :44:18. | |
you think, oh, they're so lucky, they can do all of that, but then | :44:19. | :44:22. | |
you think I might wait, I can't do that. But then I also think it is | :44:23. | :44:28. | |
important that I help her out and I like being responsible for her, | :44:29. | :44:37. | |
because it makes me feel special. Claudia and Leonie are getting help | :44:38. | :44:41. | |
from their school, which means they can focus on their schoolwork and | :44:42. | :44:44. | |
looking after mum. What does the word care mean for you? Well, when I | :44:45. | :44:51. | |
think terror I think it's not normal, a normal life. -- think | :44:52. | :44:57. | |
carer. Like when you are an actress you have a big role to play, but | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
then when you finish doing that part you need to stop, but it's like | :45:02. | :45:06. | |
you're doing that role forever. Claudia and Leonie, talking to our | :45:07. | :45:17. | |
reporter. Holly mentioned the research from Carers Trust. | :45:18. | :45:19. | |
Joining us now is Gail Scott-Spicer, who's Chief Executive of the Carers | :45:20. | :45:22. | |
Hearing their story, it's really heartbreaking. How common is a story | :45:23. | :45:36. | |
like that? There are 700,000 children upto the age of 18 but also | :45:37. | :45:42. | |
as young as five who caring. Caring for friends, family, somebody in | :45:43. | :45:45. | |
their life who they love dearly. It's a real challenge for them. The | :45:46. | :45:50. | |
data we have produced today and that we have seen from carers trust is | :45:51. | :45:55. | |
showing that young carers are a danger, not only to their education, | :45:56. | :45:59. | |
not fulfilling their life ambitions. There might be children up during | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
the night that have been looking after Perrett and now had to be | :46:05. | :46:09. | |
hitting their bag ready. What should teachers be looking out for as far | :46:10. | :46:12. | |
as checking all these kids are getting the support they need once | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
at school? We know from the data that half of children are having | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
problems coping with schoolwork. We know that they are struggling with | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
deadlines. These are the things that children can look -- teachers can | :46:26. | :46:33. | |
look after. You might find that some of these young carers are not moving | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
it into school. Maybe they are hiding it, showing they are coping. | :46:38. | :46:44. | |
Maybe it's hard to spot. It is but we do lots of work with schools to | :46:45. | :46:51. | |
help spot the signs. There might be some carers watching this morning as | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
they go through what they need to to support their family. They can reach | :46:57. | :47:00. | |
out to schools because schools know how to support them. They can do | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
that in confidence and they run a lot of charities around like Carers | :47:05. | :47:11. | |
Trust. They can reach out in confidence. We also have online | :47:12. | :47:17. | |
forums where they can come on and be anonymous. That is the first step | :47:18. | :47:23. | |
for young carers sometimes to reach out and get support. They must | :47:24. | :47:27. | |
realise crucially they are not alone. That is the way. If you can | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
go on for and speak to other people, you can make a difference. There was | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
a change in the law around giving more support and essentially | :47:37. | :47:39. | |
assessment to young people. Has that made a difference and tell us, yes, | :47:40. | :47:49. | |
haven't it ready difference? They came in to support children for the | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
first time to give them rights in law. It is crucial now the | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
government hold local authorities to account to realise both law and the | :47:58. | :48:00. | |
principles and ambitions of those acts. It is very varied out there. | :48:01. | :48:07. | |
Sometimes we see buried a lot of great work going on to support | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
carers but in other places, there is a lot more work to do. Gale from the | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
C/o's Trust, thank you. Here's Carol with a look | :48:16. | :48:16. | |
at this morning's weather. Carroll, you are looking gorgeous | :48:17. | :48:27. | |
considering how many hours sleep you have had. How many hours sleep? 3.5. | :48:28. | :48:35. | |
You legend. It is because of the national television awards, I have | :48:36. | :48:50. | |
two ad. -- --3. We are importing cold winds from a cold continent. | :48:51. | :48:57. | |
They are dragging it in on the south-easterly wind. Very windy | :48:58. | :49:03. | |
across the north-west once again today but the West of the UK | :49:04. | :49:06. | |
generally windy. There is a lot of clout for us, we also have drizzle. | :49:07. | :49:13. | |
-- cloud. We will also see the odd flurry of snow. We wait all see it. | :49:14. | :49:20. | |
-- we won't. There is the risk of ice first thing this morning. Watch | :49:21. | :49:24. | |
out for that underfoot and if you are driving. There are also pockets | :49:25. | :49:30. | |
of fog but not on the scale that some of us have seen. Cloudy start | :49:31. | :49:36. | |
across most of us. Also in Northern Ireland. Scotland, too. The North of | :49:37. | :49:40. | |
Scotland is sticking out of the cloud. He refused. Here we will see | :49:41. | :49:46. | |
the lion 's share of any sunshine as we will through the course of the | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
day. The rest of the day, cloudy for the morning. Gradually, though, we | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
start to see the cloud break up across Southern counties and we will | :49:56. | :49:59. | |
see sunshine. Some of that extends into Wales. We will hang on to war | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
this cloud and although we see temperatures largely above freezing, | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
when you add on the wind chill, how it will feel against your skin when | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
you are out, -5 in Newcastle, freezing in Cardiff. Remember to | :50:15. | :50:18. | |
wrap up warmly if you are just a stepping out. As we had on through | :50:19. | :50:22. | |
Thursday and into Friday, we hang on to quite keen to win. Then we have | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
the complex area of low pressure. It is coming in from the West. We start | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
off on Friday, possibly the odd pockets of fog and nothing | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
substantial. Any snow flurries in the east will tend to fade and then | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
we have weather front coming in from the north and west and they will | :50:41. | :50:46. | |
introduce some rain. Also some milder conditions, particularly in | :50:47. | :50:49. | |
the south-west. Although we will still feel cold in central areas, it | :50:50. | :50:55. | |
will feel less than it did today. Saturday, showers but the nature of | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
showers mean we were not all see them. Some of us will see sunshine. | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
Look at this. It looks as though we will see the next area of low | :51:05. | :51:08. | |
pressure sweeping across the Southern counties of England and | :51:09. | :51:11. | |
Wales. The timing and position of this will change. Deep in touch with | :51:12. | :51:16. | |
the weather forecast. Further north, not a bad day at all. | :51:17. | :51:21. | |
Carroll, should we have a look at how we went last night? A beautiful | :51:22. | :51:27. | |
picture of the gang. Everybody looking top dollar. That was before | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
the party began. Tell us what it was like. LAUGHTER. You are getting no | :51:33. | :51:39. | |
change out of me about anything. It was a good night, a good night, | :51:40. | :51:47. | |
great. You have the party line down. And so used to it because they are | :51:48. | :51:52. | |
WestJet a grilling from you guys! I'm glad you had a lovely time. | :51:53. | :52:01. | |
Figures out later this morning are expected to show the British | :52:02. | :52:04. | |
If so, it would be the latest data to suggest the UK | :52:05. | :52:09. | |
economy is remaining resilient despite the Brexit vote. | :52:10. | :52:11. | |
Ben is in central London for us this morning. | :52:12. | :52:13. | |
Just how significant could these figures be Ben? | :52:14. | :52:18. | |
You have a cracking view over the city. A bit cold that you have your | :52:19. | :52:32. | |
gloves on. What are we expecting? Carol is not fibbing, it is freezing | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
but the economy is going to be faring a bit better. We had the | :52:37. | :52:41. | |
concerns about a fall in the value of the pound and that uncertainty | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
surrounding Brexit. The latest thing is that word in inflation. We will | :52:46. | :52:50. | |
hear a lot about it this year as prices start rising. We have had | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
warnings from retailers including supermarkets, saying they might have | :52:55. | :52:59. | |
to put prices up. On economic growth, we get the figure at 930. It | :53:00. | :53:04. | |
is for the last quarter of last year, expected to show that the | :53:05. | :53:13. | |
economy grew for about 0.5%. We have city -esque Burts with me. You are a | :53:14. | :53:20. | |
cold, windy rooftop. Thank you for putting up with it. City experts. We | :53:21. | :53:27. | |
have seen headlines about what inflation and Brexit could mean. The | :53:28. | :53:33. | |
end of 2016 has been good and so will the beginning of 2017, as we | :53:34. | :53:37. | |
have seen. Everybody is pretty upbeat but inflation has doubled | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
between October and December so I think we will see wages squeezed | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
because inflation is rising higher and rising more than wages at the | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
moment. People will feel a bit poorer and it is consumption that | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
has been driving the economy so I am worried about that going forward. | :53:56. | :53:59. | |
The fact that manufacturers are getting towards capacity constraints | :54:00. | :54:07. | |
and labour is a bit short. There are two stories on today because when we | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
look at things like Brexit, there is uncertainty for business, we don't | :54:13. | :54:15. | |
know what is going to happen and if you are a business with, you either | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
embrace it or worry. Which way should you be going? These are | :54:20. | :54:24. | |
challenging times but exciting times. Refer to what Bronwyn said, | :54:25. | :54:35. | |
it is uncertain. We unfortunately, London is the only standard bearer. | :54:36. | :54:39. | |
We need a much more mixed and balanced economy. We need to find | :54:40. | :54:45. | |
labour in the right places so we can give construction and industrial | :54:46. | :54:49. | |
print duction a real boost. I'm really upbeat long-term. -- | :54:50. | :55:00. | |
production. Wages is only at 2.6%. Have some courage, it will be fine. | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
Catherine, you are nodding along to some things but as far as consumers | :55:06. | :55:11. | |
are concerned, we may feel a squeeze. We will see a large to | :55:12. | :55:18. | |
start -- decline. Businesses might not see it. These things take a long | :55:19. | :55:26. | |
time to ramp up. Consumers are doing heavy lifting at the moment. Whether | :55:27. | :55:31. | |
it can continue, we don't know. We are not going to delay spending | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
because of an Article 50 ruling, for example. Thank you very much. We | :55:36. | :55:41. | |
will speak more to you guys later in the programme. We will delve into | :55:42. | :55:45. | |
the idea of consumer spending. It is all of us who is going out and | :55:46. | :55:49. | |
spending in the shops that has helped prop up the economy. Big | :55:50. | :55:52. | |
questions about whether we will carry on doing that. | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
Delve into the flat and get some heat. It is freezing. | :55:57. | :56:03. | |
Plenty more news, travel and weather on our website. Goodbye for now. | :56:04. | :59:57. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Steph McGovern and Jon Kay. | :59:58. | :00:01. | |
The Prime Minister vows to renew the UK's special relationship | :00:02. | :00:04. | |
with the US as she travels to America to meet Donald Trump. | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
Theresa May will say the two countries can "lead together again" | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
and propose greater co-operation in the fight against terrorism. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
In his first TV interview since taking office, | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
President Trump has said he believes torture works when dealing | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
I want to do everything within the bounds of what you are allowed | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
to do legally, but do I feel it works? | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Children's health in the UK is lagging behind most other | :00:34. | :00:58. | |
European countries, according to a major new report. | :00:59. | :01:08. | |
We will get the latest growth figures later. They are expected to | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
show the economy fared pretty well at the end of last year, but with | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
rising prices and that uncertainty around except what does the next | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
year have in store? In sport, it be an all-Williams | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
showdown in Melbourne. Venus Williams is through and in the | :01:25. | :01:36. | |
last few minutes Serena Williams got to the first final where they will | :01:37. | :01:37. | |
play each other in eight years. It has taken Tim Peake | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
to space and back. Now the Soyuz capsule | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
is going to be landing in London. This morning it's a cold start to | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
the day again. Watch out for ice on untreated surfaces. A fairly cloudy | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
start, producing drizzle. A few of us seeing snow. Later it will | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
brighten up in the south. The overriding factor is it will feel | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
cold in a bitter wind. More in 15 minutes. | :02:07. | :02:07. | |
Good morning. First, our main story. | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Theresa May will call for a renewed special relationship | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
with the United States when she addresses Republican | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
A day before she becomes the first international leader | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
the Prime Minister will argue for greater co-operation | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
Our political Correspondent Chris Mason is at Westminster. | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
This is the reason they officially meeting President Trump. She has | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
already said she isn't afraid of a frank conversation with him, but | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
still wants to renew their special relationship. How is it going to | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
work do you think west that phrase special relationship will tumble out | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
of her lips many times in the next 48 hours. The plane carrying the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
Prime Minister is leaving Heathrow about now. First stop is | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
Philadelphia, this away day for senior Republican politicians. A | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
chance for her to address them. People who might be able to bend the | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
ear and influence the president over the next four years. She will talk | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
about how for her international organisations are really important. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
The United States and the UK were central in setting her up. The UN | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
and the defence alliance, Nato, for instance. President Trump has been | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
sceptical about any international organisations. The other thing she | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
will be keen to do is just build a working relationship with the | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
president. The human connection is hugely important and she starts it | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
with some awkwardness, because she was not, entry about him in the | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
past. So she turns up with a hamper, from her retreat in Buckinghamshire, | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
complete with a belt -- Bakewell tart, I'm told, and she will also | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
carry an ancient Scottish artefact, a nod to President Trump's mum who | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
was from Scotland. So attending to make friends and build bridges. One | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
of her team described him as Trump the chump before he was let in. Now | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
of course things have changed. -- he was elected. It is another important | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
day for Brexit because of course we have a big announcement at 9:30am? | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Yes. The Prime Minister might be flying across the Atlantic, but that | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
doesn't mean Brexit stops. The whole process rumbles on. What we get this | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
morning is the publication of a bill. The start of the process of | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
creating a law that will allow the Prime Minister to press go on the | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
wrecks that process by the end of March. We will get the wording of | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
that in the next few hours. The debate amongst MPs and those in the | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
House of Lords to follow from next week. As ever, lovely to talk to | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
you. When she visits Washington tomorrow, | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
Theresa May has said she is not afraid of having a candid | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
conversation with President Trump, who said he believed that torture | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
could work to get information out Donald Trump said he would seek | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
further advice from the CIA, before deciding whether to | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
bring back techniques Speaking to the American ABC network | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
in his first televised interview since becoming President, | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
he also repeated his pledge to make Mexico pay for a wall along | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
its border with the United States. Here's our Washington | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Correspondent, David Willis. Could America be set for a return | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
to the interrogation methods of old? A draft executive order | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
suggests its commander-in-chief could be preparing to return | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
to the dark days of water boarding, by reopening the so-called black | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
site prisons operated by the CIA. In his first TV interview | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
since becoming President, Donald Trump made clear | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
he is considering scrapping an order by his predecessor, that terrorist | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
suspects be treated in accordance Torture works, | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
the President declared. When they're chopping off the heads | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
of our people and other people, when they're chopping off the heads | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
of people because they happen to be a Christian in the Middle East, | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
when Isis is doing things that nobody has ever heard | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
of since medieval times, would I feel strongly | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
about water boarding? As far as I'm concerned, | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
we have to fight fire with fire. Reports suggest Mr Trump is also due | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
to announce plans to close America's borders to refugees, | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
for a period at least, and implement tougher visa | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
restrictions on citizens from certain predominantly Muslim | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
nations with links to terrorism, In an effort to quell the influx | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
of illegal immigrants from Mexico, Mr Trump has signed an executive | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
order to begin work on building A multimillion dollar venture | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
that he insists Mexico will be made Ultimately it will come out | :06:52. | :07:03. | |
of what's happening with Mexico and we will start those negotiations | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
relatively soon and we will be That has ruffled the feathers | :07:09. | :07:11. | |

Mexico's president said they have no The Mexican president is due | :07:23. | :07:25. | |

many of the changes brought Royal Bank of Scotland will take | :07:36. | :07:44. | |

of children in the UK has found an "alarming gap" exists | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
between the rich and poor, with one in five young people | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
suffering as a result of poverty. The Royal College of Paediatrics | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
and Child Health also suggests the UK is lagging behind | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
most western European countries when it comes to measures | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
such as infant mortality Our health correspondent | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
Dominic Hughes reports. Anxiety, depression | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
and a need to be listened to. These are the themes of a short | :08:31. | :08:40. | |
play on mental health, devised by school | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
students in Liverpool. The issues they touch on reflect | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
those in today's report on the health of children | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
and young people. It paints a picture of the UK | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
struggling to match other countries The evidence has been developing | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
for some time that all is not well It's the first time we have really | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
put together a proper picture across all four countries | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
and the news is not good. Some of the issues that raise | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
concerns over the state of child health include just 34% | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
of babies breast fed to six months, 40% of children in | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
England's most deprived and half of adult mental health | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
problems start before the age of 14. And for the drama group | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
in Liverpool, mental Mental illnesses are an illness | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
of the brain and they're as valid as any other illnesses | :09:32. | :09:40. | |
to any other part of the body. Just because you can't see it | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
physically it doesn't mean Our production will mainly be to get | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
rid of that stigma about mental health and just educate the audience | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
a bit more about mental health. The four governments of the UK | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
are all challenged to consider the impact their policies | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
will have on children. They've responded by restating | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
commitments to improve The number of cars built in the UK | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
has reached a 17-year high, due to continued economic | :10:01. | :10:16. | |
recovery in Europe. Around 1.7 million cars rolled off | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
production lines last year But investment in the | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
industry fell last year because of continued | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
uncertainty about the Almost half of all hospitals | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
are failing to meet basic government standards for hospital food, | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
according to data released The Campaign for Better | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
Hospital Food warns But the government says | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
standards are improving. In 2014 food standards became | :10:41. | :10:55. | |
mandatory in English hospitals. This is an attempt to find out what | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
progress has been made since then. It says there is more to do, but | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
claimed that has been immeasurable improvement in food quality. For | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
example in 89% of hospitals patients said their food was good or very | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
good, but up 5% from 2013. 55% of hospitals are fully compliant with | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
standards recommended I dieticians, but up 14% from 2015. And 52% of | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
hospitals are fully compliant with basic government standards on food | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
quality and nutrition. Nearly 40% are said to be hardly compliant. But | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
the campaign for better hospital food excel on that same statistic, | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
saying it shows nearly half of hospitals don't meet basic | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
standards. -- picks up. The organisation claims nearly one third | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
of patients are at real risk of malnutrition. The department of | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
Health says food standards in hospital are legally binding. The | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
campaigners claim the legal framework for schools is more | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
rigourous. They say that means healthy children in schools get more | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
and legal protection on food standards and six children in | :12:04. | :12:04. | |
hospitals. It was a big night for the TV | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
industry last night. Ant and Dec won the prize | :12:09. | :12:19. | |
for the best TV presenters Imagine how big | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
their trophy room is! It was the National Television | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
Awards in London last night, while the BBC presenter | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
Graham Norton was recognised ITV's programme got best magazine. | :12:32. | :12:46. | |
We were at the awards. ARM happy to say Allah team still had a brilliant | :12:47. | :12:56. | |
time. -- I am happy. Carol was there, she pulled on all | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
night. Not for the first time! We will be | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
getting the weather forecast from her, if she is still awake, in a | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
couple of minutes. It was controversially | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
sanctioned by President Bush, banned by President Obama, | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
but now President Trump has said In an interview with the US Network | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
ABC, he said he supports the reintroduction of interrogation | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
techniques, currently banned Donald Trump also repeated | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
his stance that Mexico would pay for a 2,000 mile wall | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
along it's border with the US. Though the Mexican President | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
has rejected the idea. We'll discuss this in more detail | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
in a moment, but first When Isis is doing things that | :13:36. | :13:48. | |
nobody has ever heard of since mediaeval times, would I feel | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
strongly about water boarding? As far as I'm concerned I think we have | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
to fight fire with fire. I've spoken as recently as 24 hours ago, with | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
people at the highest level of intelligence, and I asked them the | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
question: Does it work? Does torture work? And the answer was yes, | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
absolutely. You are now the president. You want water boarding? | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
I don't want people to chop off anybody's heads in the Middle East. | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
The Mexican president said in recent days that Mexico will absolutely not | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
pay adequate against their dignity as a country and their dignity as | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
Mexicans. He has to say that. But I am just telling you there will be a | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
form, perhaps a complicated form. You have to understand, what I'm | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
doing is good for the United States and it will also be good for Mexico. | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
We want to have a stable and solid Mexico. When will construction | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
begin? As soon as we can. As soon as we can physically do it. Months? I | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
would say months, yes. Banning is starting immediately. | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
Jacob Parakilas is Assistant Head of the US and Americas Programme | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
He joins us from our London newsroom. | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
Good morning. He hasn't even been in position for one week and we've had | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
constant tweeting and announcements and executive orders signed. Is he | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
going about this with an amazing, an unusual amount of energy? | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
If you are calling to the nine when Obama took office, he signed a | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
number of things including torture techniques, calling for the closure | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
of Guantanamo Bay. Some of those things and notably the closure of | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
that detention centre, didn't. It is normal for a president to begin | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
their term with a flurry of activity because it sets out the agenda and | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
it also, in some ways, they are in their honeymoon period. They set up | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
their agenda and they can reinforce it over the course of their term. | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
That go through some of the things they have been talking about. Let's | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
start with torture. Shall we be surprised by the strength of some of | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
his words in that interview? No, it's entirely consistent with what | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
he said during the campaign. The interesting thing is the internal | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
dynamics. He said in that interview that he would listen to the press | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
Secretary General Mattis and his CIA director Mike Pompeo. Both of those | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
said they would be bringing back water boarding. Also bringing back | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
the Acted that would bring any interrogation which bans water | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
boarding or other forms of torture. For the moment, it sounds by Kuwait | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
push for any harder to the reintegration of. -- he won't push | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
any harder. The number of Republicans, especially John Cain, | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
have pushed for the continuation of the ban. So he might not intend to | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
deliver it but is he just trying to appeal directly to his voters, his | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
supporters, at the moment, and throw them some red meat? Think you | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
straight to appeal to his supporters and also set out what he sees as the | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
position of toughness. Set out this idea that he will be aggressively | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
defending America's national interest. All of this is continued | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
on the current political situation. There is general turnover in Cabinet | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
posts. We don't know whether Mike Pompeo or General Mattis will last | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
both terms. We don't know who else might get into crucial national | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
security posts. He is talking about the wall and talking about building | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
it within months. If that realistic? No. It's absolutely a huge | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
construction project. Much of it is through in hospitable territory. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
There is also the problem that a lot of the land is not owned by the | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
Federal government. It is private land owners. Housing estates. It is | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
compensated legal process. Securing land rights. You can't do is that | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
land and then start putting up a concrete barrier. So, he will be | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
able to begin construction on certain segments of the wall beyond | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
the 700 or so miles of war that already exist. It is not something | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
he will be able to get done quickly. In terms of effectiveness, most | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
undocumented immigration in the US is not from people crossing the | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
border that people coming on student visas or work visas and overstaying | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
so the wall will not stop any of that. A lot for Donald Trump and | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
Theresa May to talk about when she hits the White House tomorrow. As we | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
speak, she is getting on a plane. Thank you for your time. And taking | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
a hamper with her. What would you want in a hamper? Tarts. Carol, what | :18:58. | :19:07. | |
would you like in a hamper that would impress you? | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
Good morning. If you are just stepping out, it is called start the | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
day. Temperatures are widely around freezing orders below or above. It | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
will get down to the bitter wind. It is coming off a cold continent and | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
it has been dragged across our shores from South to North. If you | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
are just stepping out, make sure you take something warm with you. Cloudy | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
start to the day. Thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle and the odd | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
snow flurry. Most of us will miss it anyway. We also have the odd pocket | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
of log around, not to the level of what we have seen lately. As you can | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
see across Southern counties, a lot of cloud. That is called in Exeter | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
as it was yesterday. Over into Wales, a lot of cloud. The Pennines | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
and the Vale of York, a bit of drizzle but a lot of hill fog. You | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
will have into the sunshine through the day for the North of Scotland | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
but the rest of Scotland and Northern Ireland, some drizzle and | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
cloud. Talking through the day, it will be windy, especially out | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
towards the West and the north-west. Don't forget, all of us, if exposed | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
to the wind, feel cold. London's temperature is at three Celsius and | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
in the wind will feel like more like minus one. For Newcastle in the | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
wind, -6, that is the field. -- feeling. Into tomorrow, still windy | :20:45. | :20:55. | |
Collette -- conditions. We will start off in the morning began with | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
the odd pocket of Frost, like this morning, the risk of ice. In the | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
West, what you will find is the rain coming in, courtesy of the front. It | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
won't be too heavy and any snow flurries will move away. In the | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
south-west, milder conditions, less call than it has been across central | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
and eastern areas but if you are outside, it will still feel cold. On | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Saturday, we start to see a more unsettled dealing. A few more | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
showers around, it won't be as cold and we will equally the sunshine in | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
between the showers. I will draw your attention to this area of rain. | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
This is a next area of low pressure which at the moment looks as though | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
it will sweep across other southern parts of England and Wales through | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
Sunday. The timing and position of that could change so don't be gutted | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
if that's what you see and you have outdoor plans, it may move further | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
south. At the moment, it looks like it is the northern half of the | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
country that will see the driest and brightest conditions with some | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
sunshine. Is it fair to say it is quite fresh at the moment? Fresh! | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
That is an understatement it is perishing. As you fresh today? I'm | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
very fresh, Steph, thank you for asking. There is a reason we are | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
saying is, it was the TV awards last night and Carol was there. She was | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
there last night and she looks brilliant. | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
As second-hand vehicles go, it doesn't sound very promising - | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
slightly scorched, 74 million miles on the clock and last seen | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
But the capsule which took Major Tim Peake into space - | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
and brought him safely back again - is an invaluable piece | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
It's going on display at London's Science Museum today, | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
where our Global science correspondent Rebecca Morelle | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
Global science correspondence doesn't do it justice. It's gone | :22:51. | :23:14. | |
beyond global! Yes, I am here science Museum and behind me you can | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
see the Soyuz capital that brought Tim Peake up to space and more | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
importantly, brought him back down-to-earth. Apprising the small | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
when you see it up close. She gets a sense of what it must have been like | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
in there. Three people crammed in. You can see the scorch marks outside | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
where it re-entered backstreet the atmosphere when temperatures reached | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
up to 5100dC. We'll be talking to little later but a select group of | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
people that had the delight of going up into space and had the amazing | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
experience of going up in one of these. One is them is Doctor Helen | :23:57. | :24:09. | |
Sharman. Visit bring back memories? -- does it? We do get the chance to | :24:10. | :24:18. | |
get up close to see one up close even for astronauts. Inside, it | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
looks like the real thing in the simulators but to have one that has | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
actually flown into space is a real excitement stop here at the science | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
Museum, you have this. Ways it important to get these pieces of | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
space history on display? This is space history but actually, it's not | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
just history. This is something that really happened in our lifetime. | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
It's very recent history. People can remember not just the thing but what | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
it signifies. This is a British astronaut, Tim Peake, he put Britain | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
back into the realms of human spaceflight where we are competing | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
again on the international stage. We were so proud of him and it will | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
inspire many more people to do more things, not just associated with | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
space at all that space offers and the excitement of science and | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
engineering technologies and mathematics that you need to | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
understand in order to make missions like this possible. It's interesting | :25:24. | :25:33. | |
that Tim Peake might have another chance to go back up, maybe in a | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
Soyuz maybe in another Capshaw. Would you like to go back up? Every | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
single astronaut would like to go back up. Everything goes back to | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
normal except for one thing and that would be a longing to go back. Is | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
anything on the earth ever the same again afterwards? Space is so | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
different to anything that you do in life. There are many exciting things | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
in life, of course there are. But there is this opportunity to do | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
something that you will never be able to do again. It is just the | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
most natural and relaxing thing to be able to float around in space. | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
All these things that you can do in science. Thank you, Helen. A piece | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
of space history that will be unveiled to the public later this | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
morning, bought from the Russian Space Agency for an undisclosed | :26:30. | :26:30. | |
amount. Thank you, Rebecca. Amazing to hear from Helen Sharman. | :26:31. | :26:41. | |
Such an amazing woman. Have Tim Peake on later in the show as well. | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
Back in the Capshaw, see how it feels. -- Capshaw. | :26:48. | :26:53. | |

Homework is the thing I struggle with because I'm always looking | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
after staff. many of which are struggling to | :27:03. | :27:03. | |
balance school with helping at home. Time now to get the news, | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
travel and weather where you are. They will be also | :27:11. | :30:37. | |
possible heavy showers. I'm back with the latest | :30:38. | :30:39. | |
from the BBC London newsroom Plenty more news, travel | :30:40. | :30:42. | |

and Steph McGovern. Theresa May will call for a renewed | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
special relationship with the United States, | :30:51. | :30:52. | |
when she addresses Republican politicians at their annual retreat | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
in Philadelphia later today. The Prime Minister is due to become | :30:56. | :30:57. | |
the first world leader to hold face-to-face talks | :30:58. | :31:00. | |
with President Trump, when they meet at the | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
White House tomorrow. She has said she's not afraid | :31:05. | :31:06. | |
of having a candid conversation. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
he believes that torture can work to get information out | :31:11. | :31:13. | |
of terrorism suspects. In an interview with ABC News, | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
the President said the US had But Mr Trump said he would seek | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
further advice before deciding whether to bring back techniques, | :31:20. | :31:26. | |
such as water-boarding, Are have spoken as recently as 24 | :31:27. | :31:43. | |
hours ago with people at the highest level of intelligence and I ask them | :31:44. | :31:48. | |
the question: Does it work? Does torture work? And the answer was | :31:49. | :31:52. | |
yes, absolutely. The government here will publish | :31:53. | :32:02. | |

increasingly difficult to cope, according any -- according to an | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
investigation into the service. The National Audit Office said rising | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
demand, recruitment problems and wider NHS problems meant crews were | :32:51. | :32:54. | |
failing to reach their target. NHS England says it is trying a new | :32:55. | :33:02. | |
response strategy to reach the maximum number of people in a short | :33:03. | :33:04. | |
amount of time. The number of cars built in the UK | :33:05. | :33:05. | |
has reached a 17-year high, thanks to continued economic | :33:06. | :33:09. | |
recovery in Europe. Around 1.7 million cars rolled off | :33:10. | :33:11. | |
production lines last year But investment in the industry fell | :33:12. | :33:13. | |
last year because of continued uncertainty over the future | :33:14. | :33:18. | |
of the economy following Almost half of our hospitals are | :33:19. | :33:29. | |
failing to meet basic government standards for hospital food | :33:30. | :33:32. | |
according to new data released today by the Department of Health. The | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
campaign for better hospital food warned the situation is diabolical. | :33:38. | :33:41. | |
The government says the standards are legally binding and that | :33:42. | :33:42. | |
performance is improving. It was the National Television | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
Awards last night. No surprise - Ant and Dec won | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
the prize for best TV presenter Other winners included | :33:50. | :33:52. | |
Mary Berry for best judge Strictly Come Dancing picked up | :33:53. | :34:00. | |
the gong for best talent show. There were lots of surprises as | :34:01. | :34:09. | |
well. On that delighted many was that Emmerdale won the best soap. | :34:10. | :34:18. | |
And ITV's This Morning won best live magazine programme. | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
World unto them, well done to the team and our lot had a great night. | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
-- well done to them. We weren't invited, what we had a | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
good time watching. We're holding the fort... Over to | :34:34. | :34:44. | |
the sport. Serena and Venus Williams are | :34:45. | :34:46. | |
through to the final of the Australian Open. You would be | :34:47. | :34:52. | |
forgiven for thinking you've gone back ten years. | :34:53. | :34:58. | |
And Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are going strong as well! | :34:59. | :35:03. | |
Venus and Serena have played themselves so many times, the last | :35:04. | :35:06. | |
time they played in a grandslam final was ten years ago. Venus | :35:07. | :35:14. | |
Williams is 36, Serena is 35. In the men's draw, there's only one person | :35:15. | :35:20. | |
who is left under 30. So it is one for the veterans. William. | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
It's Serena versus Venus at the Australian Open, | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
the first all-Williams final since the Wimbledon showdown eight | :35:28. | :35:29. | |
Serena, a six time winner in Melbourne, comfortably beat | :35:30. | :35:32. | |
the world number 79 Mirjana Lucic-Baroni | :35:33. | :35:34. | |
Baroni was playing in her first grand slam semi-final in 18 years | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
and couldn't match the pace and power of the world number two. | :35:39. | :35:49. | |
And at the age of 36, her older sister Venus Williams is through. | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
The seven-time Grand Slam beat Coco Vandeweghe in three sets. | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
She said it would be a dream to see Serena on the other side of the net | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
Alfie Hewitt and Gordon Reid will face-off with their respective | :36:05. | :36:12. | |
partners in a wheelchair tennis. Southampton beat Liverpool 1-0 | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
at Anfield last night to reach 1-0 up from the first leg, | :36:18. | :36:20. | |
Saints spent much of the match defending before Shane Long | :36:21. | :36:26. | |
booked his side's trip to Wembley. They reached the final | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
without conceding a goal. Southampton will play either | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
Hull City or Manchester United who play their second | :36:34. | :36:36. | |
leg semi tonight. I'm happy for the squad | :36:37. | :36:41. | |
because they worked very hard since the beginning of the season, | :36:42. | :36:49. | |
and played every three Celtic have stretched | :36:50. | :36:56. | |
their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership | :36:57. | :37:00. | |
to 22 points. They beat St Johnston | :37:01. | :37:03. | |
1-0 in the first game in the league since the winter break | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
and have now gone 26 domestic games unbeaten, equalling | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
their own record. Meanwhile, in the Scottish Cup, | :37:11. | :37:13. | |
Hearts came back from 1-0 down to beat Championship Raith Rovers | :37:14. | :37:17. | |
4-2 in extra time of their Scottish They'll host Edinburgh | :37:18. | :37:20. | |
rivals Hibs next. Usain Bolt is to lose one | :37:21. | :37:23. | |
of his nine Olympic gold medals, after the IOC disqualified his | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
Jamaican relay teammate Nesta Carter over a doping violation | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
at the Beijing Games. The IOC says Carter tested positive | :37:30. | :37:31. | |
for a banned stimulant in a re-analysis of samples | :37:32. | :37:34. | |
from the 2008 Olympics. Carter and Bolt were teammates | :37:35. | :37:40. | |
on the winning 4x100 As a result, the Jamaican team, | :37:41. | :37:42. | |
including Bolt, has been stripped of its gold, meaning he can no | :37:43. | :37:47. | |
longer claim to hold You can't rerun race | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
and get those medals back. In Usain Bolt's case, | :37:51. | :37:56. | |
we all know that was his last So it has gone from nine medals, | :37:57. | :37:59. | |
which was unbelievable, to eight medals, but what he has | :38:00. | :38:03. | |
achieved is still amazing. Captain Eoin Morgan captain says | :38:04. | :38:09. | |

circuit in recent months winning 11 When we came into this we thought | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
we just want to be pleased We wanted to come down, | :38:49. | :38:59. | |
finish the line and think, "Yes, | :39:00. | :39:05. | |
I managed to do that. "We couldn't have gone any | :39:06. | :39:07. | |
faster and the result But we got both of those | :39:08. | :39:09. | |
feelings today, so chuffed! Brilliant and understandably the | :39:10. | :39:19. | |
favourite to win at the Winter Olympics next year. Can you think of | :39:20. | :39:22. | |
anything more terrifying, not being able to see properly and skiing at | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
100 mph down a mountain? Brilliant. You're going to stick | :39:28. | :39:34. | |
with us because we are going to talk American football. | :39:35. | :39:39. | |
I am trying to pass myself out and look little bit taller, but I don't | :39:40. | :39:41. | |
think it will work. It is as quintessentially American | :39:42. | :39:42. | |
as hot dogs and cowboys, but American football continues | :39:43. | :39:47. | |
to grow in popularity Nearly 3.5 million | :39:48. | :39:49. | |
British viewers now tune The NFL's fan base tops | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
13 million in the UK. Tickets for the first NFL game | :39:53. | :40:00. | |
in London in 2007 sold out And that has been replicated | :40:01. | :40:03. | |
by subsequent sell-outs ever since. we'll speak to two former | :40:04. | :40:10. | |
Super Bowl winners in a moment First, here's a taste | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
of the last one. Welcome to the stadium as we are | :40:16. | :40:24. | |
getting set for Super Bowl L. The ball is free! Touchdown! He | :40:25. | :40:54. | |
leaps and scores! Touchdown! In trouble! To the end zone! Touchdown! | :40:55. | :41:08. | |
They are the world champions. They have just one Super Bowl L. -- won. | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
They know how to sell it. It is the drama. | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
Former Super Bowl champions Osi Umenyiora and Jason Bell | :41:18. | :41:20. | |
Good morning and thanks for coming in. Osi, you are an ambassador for | :41:21. | :41:30. | |
the NFL to the UK. That means you have to sell the game in the UK? | :41:31. | :41:35. | |
That's what I am trying to do and so forehead has been easy. NFL is a | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
fantastic game. -- so far it has been. Why do you think it is popular | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
here? You have to understand the dynamics of American football. It | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
has something for everybody, with the UR vig, tall, fast, slow, | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
whatever. -- whether you are big. So when they see the incredible | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
athleticism on the field they enjoy it and obviously it's a very | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
American game. There's a special relationship between America and the | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
UK... We've been hearing about that! I think that's why they enjoy it. | :42:10. | :42:14. | |
Maybe you can get the big ambassador job in London as well! | :42:15. | :42:17. | |
For someone who doesn't understand it, a lot of the UK audience, give | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
us the basics. The basics? Follow the ball. Always follow the ball. | :42:24. | :42:29. | |
You look at the line scrummage, the big guys at the front, and you see | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
whoever is moving forwards and backwards, that's usually who is | :42:33. | :42:37. | |
winning the game. The NFL, there's a lot of talk about it, like cricket, | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
and it comes across as more complicated than it is. If you watch | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
it you can pick it up quite easily. There are millions of people | :42:47. | :42:49. | |
watching it in the UK. Our people getting out and playing it? Does it | :42:50. | :42:53. | |
translate to people having a go on the pitch? Absolutely. Maybe about | :42:54. | :42:59. | |
two or three weeks ago I looked to the left and saw a big field and | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
people were playing with their full kit and gear and that threw me, | :43:04. | :43:06. | |
because I had never seen that before. So from what I understand a | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
lot of universities are playing it, a lot of kids, the game is | :43:12. | :43:14. | |
increasing in popularity and we are really happy. Do you think perhaps | :43:15. | :43:18. | |
people see it as a slightly safer version of Rob D, because you have | :43:19. | :43:24. | |
the helmets, the pads? -- rugby. Is it safer than rugby? We've been | :43:25. | :43:29. | |
talking a lot about concussion and head injuries. The risks are | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
obviously there. Are you safer with a helmet on? I don't know if it is | :43:35. | :43:39. | |
safer. I know it is definitely a better sport, but I don't know if it | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
is safer. In all fairness rugby is a great sport, I enjoy watching it as | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
well. But the NFL, there's really no comparison. You are part of the BBC | :43:49. | :43:53. | |
highlights show. When you are doing the punditry, is it different doing | :43:54. | :43:59. | |
it in the UK? It is. You've got to get the basics down. I forget how | :44:00. | :44:04. | |
hard the basics are, you take it granted because you've been playing | :44:05. | :44:07. | |
it for so long, but then you explain it and you feel it is intricate, but | :44:08. | :44:12. | |
it is fun and exciting. There are so many stops and starts. I enjoy | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
watching it when it's happening, but I look back on 1.5 hours and I think | :44:17. | :44:23. | |
I waited more time in the gaps. It gives you time to talk to your | :44:24. | :44:27. | |
friends! It gives you time to do the commentary. You get to do all the | :44:28. | :44:32. | |
things you want to do. That's why you have to watch these guys on the | :44:33. | :44:35. | |
highlights programme. We can't let you go without asking... These guys | :44:36. | :44:45. | |
have won the Super Bowl. We have some enormous events in the UK, the | :44:46. | :44:50. | |
FA Cup, grand slams in tennis, nothing quite compares to the scale | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
of the Super Bowl. What does it feel like to win the Super Bowl? | :44:55. | :44:58. | |
Incredible. Other than the World Cup there's really no other sport like | :44:59. | :45:01. | |
that, there's no other game like that in the world. To be able to win | :45:02. | :45:07. | |
that, and all of these little kids dream about playing this game for | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
their entire life and once you get out there and you can do it and win | :45:13. | :45:18. | |
at twice, twice! There's absolutely no feeling like it. It is an | :45:19. | :45:22. | |
incredible completion. You feel like you are in paradise. One day I will | :45:23. | :45:27. | |
achieve something that is minutely on the scale. We achieved something. | :45:28. | :45:33. | |
We came on this show with you guys and it is almost like the Super | :45:34. | :45:37. | |
Bowl! We should stop the interview there. Thank you. | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :45:43. | :45:43. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :45:44. | :45:50. | |
This morning is a cold start to the day. In Cardiff, it is plus three, | :45:51. | :46:10. | |
Edinburgh, plus one. Today, wherever you are, it will feel cold. Largely | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
down to the bitter wind. Again, it is coming up from this cold | :46:16. | :46:19. | |
continent and it is dragging the cold air right across our shores. | :46:20. | :46:25. | |
First thing this morning, it is cloudy as well is called. Watch out | :46:26. | :46:29. | |
for ice on untreated surfaces because it has been damp, a wee bit | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
of drizzle. Some of us could also see some snow flurries. There will | :46:34. | :46:43. | |
be -- went to be enough to build a snowman. Breezy across most of the | :46:44. | :46:46. | |
country. Northern Scotland is standing out. From the word go, you | :46:47. | :46:52. | |
will see some sunshine. One of two brighter breaks as you come south. | :46:53. | :46:55. | |
Essentially, fairly cloudy across the bulk of England but across | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
southern counties, later in the morning and into the afternoon, you | :47:00. | :47:02. | |
will see the cloud breakup and a sunny spells developing. Don't be | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
full, it will feel better despite the fact we have sunshine and | :47:08. | :47:13. | |
temperatures up to about six. For Wales, we will also see some | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
sunshine come through but for most of Wales and in towards past of the | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
Midlands, we hang on to the cloud. As we head into Northern Ireland, a | :47:23. | :47:29. | |
cloudy and damp day. The Newcastle, the maximum temperature is freezing | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
but if you are exposed to the wind, it will feel against your skin more | :47:35. | :47:38. | |
like -6 because of the wind chill. As we had on through the evening and | :47:39. | :47:43. | |
overnight, it will still be fairly windy. Then we have the next cluster | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
of weather fronts coming our way ringing unsettled conditions as we | :47:48. | :47:50. | |
had on through Friday. Friday we will start off on a cold note. Maybe | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
the odd pocket of frost and fog around. One or two wintry flurries | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
in the east that they won't last. Out towards the West and the north, | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
we will see the weather fronts coming in, introducing patchy, light | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
rain. With those, we will see higher temperatures in the West and it will | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
become less cold in central and eastern parts of the UK. I'm using | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
the terminology wisely because it won't be mild. In between showers, | :48:18. | :48:24. | |
bright spells and sunshine. As is the nature of showers, you can see | :48:25. | :48:31. | |
the next area waiting in the wings. It will bring rain across other | :48:32. | :48:40. | |
parts of England. Dry and brighter with sunshine, John and Steph. Thank | :48:41. | :48:43. | |
you very much indeed, Carol. We will be finding out more about | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
how the economy will be doing. Figures out later this morning | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
are expected to show the British Ben is in central London | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
for us this morning. As Carol was saying, you must be | :48:58. | :49:01. | |
freezing. It is a freezing this morning. We | :49:02. | :49:12. | |
are on the rooftop of their Institution of Engineering and | :49:13. | :49:17. | |
Technology. We will be keeping a close eye on the figures. We get the | :49:18. | :49:22. | |
figures to the end of last year, the last quarter of last year. It is the | :49:23. | :49:26. | |
economic growth figures, the GDP figures. It will show us how we | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
fared as a country economically but there are a lot of questions about | :49:31. | :49:35. | |
the year ahead because of uncertainty because of Brexit and | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
also the fall in the value of the pound could have fed -- affect the | :49:40. | :49:47. | |
money in our pockets. We have experts for us. London, the money in | :49:48. | :49:54. | |
the pocket. 2016 was quite a good year but concern about the coming | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
year. Inflation, uncertainty. A lot to contend with. Yes. 2016 was a | :49:59. | :50:04. | |
good year. Much better than most economists was expect in. Inflation | :50:05. | :50:12. | |
is rising, double between October and December last year. Some people | :50:13. | :50:19. | |
are talking about 3.5%. Wages are rising, everyone is doing quite well | :50:20. | :50:23. | |
but prices are rising faster than wages. Consumer demand which has | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
been driving this economy is probably going to be a bit lower. We | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
are really looking for it to tail off in the second half of the year | :50:33. | :50:37. | |
but good figures today. David, we will feel the fall in the value of | :50:38. | :50:41. | |
the pound, which we? It will squeeze our incomes because things will get | :50:42. | :50:44. | |
more expensive. That is the flipside... Is down about 12.5% | :50:45. | :50:53. | |
against the euro. We are starting to feel it through the supermarket and | :50:54. | :50:58. | |
also some of the stores. A definite feeling of pain. People are much | :50:59. | :51:01. | |
more discerning, we have seen horrible figures come out. You will | :51:02. | :51:10. | |
find because 84,000 people lost their job at the beginning of 2016 | :51:11. | :51:15. | |
out of a workforce of 2.4 million out of the retail sector. People are | :51:16. | :51:21. | |
on their guard. As Bronwyn says, the ability to have disposable income | :51:22. | :51:24. | |
will be very much more carefully watched as it is done today and it | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
will likely effect of GDP. I won't be the prophet of doom. The | :51:29. | :51:36. | |
beautiful city of ours will have billions of tourist spending lots of | :51:37. | :51:39. | |
filthy money. I hope it leads through to give everybody an upbeat | :51:40. | :51:46. | |
feeling about life. There is an element that we will deal with this | :51:47. | :51:50. | |
come what may. There are a lot of things for the economy to content | :51:51. | :51:53. | |
with that we have been through worse. The 2008 financial crisis and | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
have come through. This is just one of the things. It is robust but we | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
are at a point where the global economy is doing much better. | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
European economy, is to risk it. The UK is doing well. They have ready | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
put up interest rates in the US. They may have to put up interest | :52:13. | :52:15. | |
rates in the UK because some manufacturers are reaching capacity | :52:16. | :52:21. | |
constraints and so that usually means that inflation will go higher. | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
If it does. We might see the Bank of England raising rates. I think it | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
will be constrained. A lot will depend on whether the pound takes | :52:32. | :52:35. | |
another beating and import prices going up. A lot of uncertainty | :52:36. | :52:43. | |
around. We will chat more later. You might be able to see London coming | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
to life behind me. Everybody commuting into the city. I have | :52:48. | :52:50. | |
noticed a fair few joggers wearing short shorts this morning. I would | :52:51. | :52:55. | |
rather them than me because it is lolling freezing down here on the | :52:56. | :52:57. | |
banks of the Thames. -- lolling. It is 753. You are watching | :52:58. | :53:13. | |
breakfast. Just before eight AEM, lots of people will be heading off | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
to school to begin their works to the day. For many kids, they mate | :53:18. | :53:22. | |
to school to begin their works to the day. For many kids, they -- | :53:23. | :53:24. | |
might have been looking after their mum or dad who might be poorly. And | :53:25. | :53:28. | |
that affects people doing their schoolwork. Research from the carers | :53:29. | :53:36. | |
trust show that more than half struggled to meet deadlines. | :53:37. | :53:40. | |
Holly Hamilton has been to meet two sisters who care for their mum - | :53:41. | :53:49. | |
Just nine and 13, they have big dreams of becoming actresses. | :53:50. | :53:56. | |
But right now their job is taking care of their Mum. | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
When she had a heart attack she got tunnel vision and then it is hard | :54:00. | :54:03. | |
I do a lot of tidying, packing things away and keeping | :54:04. | :54:11. | |
things off the floor, because when things are on the floor | :54:12. | :54:14. | |
I was the kind of Mum that did everything for her children, | :54:15. | :54:23. | |
the running around, the picking up, and they relied | :54:24. | :54:26. | |
And then suddenly I couldn't do anything for them and found | :54:27. | :54:31. | |
that they were having to do things for me. | :54:32. | :54:37. | |
That's what we've been learning about. | :54:38. | :54:40. | |
The two are young carers, like more than 700,000 children | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
Many providing care for over 50 hours a week. | :54:44. | :54:50. | |
So it's no surprise that a survey by the Carers Trust | :54:51. | :54:53. | |
found that more than half of those aged 16-25 were struggling | :54:54. | :54:56. | |
Homework is the thing I struggle with because I'm | :54:57. | :55:04. | |
always doing loads of chores and stuff and then I have to find | :55:05. | :55:07. | |
Local council bosses say it is vital young carers | :55:08. | :55:16. | |
are identified so they can get the support they need | :55:17. | :55:19. | |
You see everyone and you think, oh, they're so lucky, | :55:20. | :55:26. | |
they can do all of that, but then you think, oh, | :55:27. | :55:29. | |
But then I also think it is important that I help her out | :55:30. | :55:36. | |
and I like being responsible for her, because it makes | :55:37. | :55:39. | |
Claudia and Leonie are getting help from their school, | :55:40. | :55:47. | |
which means they can focus on their schoolwork | :55:48. | :55:49. | |
What does the word carer mean for you? | :55:50. | :55:57. | |
Well, when I think carer I think it's not normal, | :55:58. | :56:02. | |
Like when you are an actress you have a big role to play, | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
but then when you finish doing that part you need to stop, | :56:08. | :56:14. | |
but it's like you're doing that role forever. | :56:15. | :56:25. | |
After 8:30 we'll be joined by the Chief Executive | :56:26. | :56:31. | |
of the Carers Trust to find out more about their concerns and discuss | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
what can be done to make life easier for young carers. | :56:36. | :56:39. | |
The former dentist who took up sprinting in his 90s. | :56:40. | :56:50. | |
Now a World Record holder, Charles Eugster | :56:51. | :56:54. | |
will be here to tell us why he's refusing to slow down in old age. | :56:55. | :57:00. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :57:01. | :00:30. | |
The Prime Minister vows to renew the UK's special | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
relationship with the US, as she travels to America | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Theresa May will say the two countries can "lead together again", | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
and will propose greater co-operation in the fight | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
She will leave Downing Street for the states very soon. | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
In his first TV interview since taking office, | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
President Trump says he believes torture works when dealing | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
I want to do Everything within the bounds of what you're allowed to do | :00:54. | :01:06. | |
legally. But do I feel it works? Absolutely I feel it works. | :01:07. | :01:19. | |
Good morning, it's Thursday, the 26th of January. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Also this morning: Children's health in the UK is lagging behind most | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
other European countries, according to a major new report. | :01:26. | :01:38. | |
We get the latest growth figures later today. They are expected to | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
show the economy third pretty well at the end of last year, but a rise | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
in the cost-of-living, if all so might fall in the value of the | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
pound, what does this year have in store? | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
It's a Serena and Venus Williams final at the Australian Open, | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
as both win their semi-finals this morning. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
It is the first time they have met in a grand slam final for eight | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
years. It's taken Tim Peake | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
to space and back. Now the Soyuz capsule | :02:08. | :02:08. | |
has landed in London. Carroll might want to get inside and | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
have a little sleep because she has been up most of the night for the | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
National television awards! It is a cold start to the day-to-day and it | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
is also fairly cloudy. We have some ice on untreated surfaces, a little | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
bit of drizzle and the odd snow flurry. Later, some of us will see | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
some sunshine, but it is going to feel chilly. Thanks, Carol. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Theresa May will call for a renewed special relationship | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
with the United States, when she addresses Republican | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
politicians in Philadelphia later. A day before she becomes the first | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
international leader to meet President Trump, | :02:50. | :02:50. | |
the Prime Minister will argue for greater co-operation | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
in the fight against terrorism. Our Political Correspondent Chris | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
This is really important for both sides, isn't it? For President Trump | :02:58. | :03:10. | |
and Theresa May. What can we | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
expect to come out of this visit? Crucially, it is a chance for the | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
two leaders to get to know one another. It is often in | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
underestimated how important the personal relationship is. The two | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
leaders need to get to know one another. And overcome some | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
differences. Not least the criticisms that Theresa May has made | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
of now President Trump in the past. But also on specific aspects of | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
policy. I know you've been talking this morning about what Donald Trump | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
has been saying about the potential reintroduction of what is known as | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
waterboarding, what many people see us techniques of torture. The | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
British Government has been very explicit in the past. It doesn't | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
cooperate with foreign governments that use techniques that are seen as | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
torture, or are seen as cruel and degrading. Potentially tricky spot | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
the former Prime Minister. On a personal level, it is a chance -- a | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
pretty tricky spot for the Prime Minister. It is a chance to get to | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
know Donald Trump in this away day at Philadelphia, and one a human | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
level, a chance to get to know one another, there has been an exchange | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
of gifts, we are told the Prime Minister is taking a hamper from her | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
country retreat in Buckinghamshire. Bakewell tarts amongst the things | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
that hamper I'm told. She is also going to take an agent Scottish | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
artefact, it is a cup. It dates back to the Cilic language in the 15th | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
and 16th century. That is a nod to President Trump's mother, originally | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
being from the Isle of Lewis. She heads west with the Bakewell parts. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
In the building behind you, in Parliament today, they are thinking | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
the other way across the Channel, about Europe and Brexit. What is the | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
significance of this paper which is going to be introduced before MPs | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
today? What we are going to get in the next couple of weeks is what we | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
could describe as a lot of Westminster around Brexit. The | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
building behind me needs to draw up a new law to make this process of | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Brexit start, the so-called triggering of Article 50. Today, we | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
get the outline of that new law, what is known as a bill. The | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
Government will publish that in the next couple of hours. From then, the | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
debate can truly begin. We will get proper debate in the Commons and the | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Lord of all of this starting next week. Chris Mason in Westminster, | :05:37. | :05:37. | |
thank you. When she visits Washington tomorrow, | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
Theresa May has said she is not afraid of having a candid | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
conversation with President Trump, who said he believed that torture | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
could work to get information out of suspected terrorists. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Donald Trump said he would seek further advice from the CIA before | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
deciding whether to bring back techniques such as water-boarding. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Speaking to the American ABC network in his first televised interview | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
since becoming President, he also repeated his pledge to make | :05:59. | :05:59. | |
Mexico pay for a wall along Here's our Washington | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Correspondent, David Willis. Could America be set for a return | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
to the interrogation methods of old? A draft executive order | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
suggests its commander-in-chief could be preparing to return | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
to the dark days of waterboarding, by reopening the so-called | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
black site secret prisons In his first TV interview | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
since becoming President, Donald Trump made clear | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
he is considering scrapping an order by his predecessor that terrorist | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
suspects be treated in accordance Torture works, | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
the President declared. When they're chopping off the heads | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
of our people and other people, when they're chopping off the heads | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
of people because they happen to be a Christian in the Middle East, | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
when Isis is doing things that nobody has ever heard | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
of since mediaeval times, would I feel strongly | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
about water boarding? As far as I'm concerned, | :07:02. | :07:02. | |
we have to fight fire with fire. Reports suggest Mr Trump is also due | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
to announce plans to close America's borders to refugees, | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
for a period at least, and implement tougher visa | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
restrictions on citizens from certain predominantly Muslim | :07:17. | :07:17. | |
nations with links to terrorism, In an effort to quell the influx | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
of illegal immigrants from Mexico, Mr Trump has signed an executive | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
order to begin work on building A multimillion dollar venture | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
that he insists Mexico will be made Ultimately it will come out | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
of what's happening with Mexico and we will start those negotiations | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
relatively soon and we will be That has ruffled the feathers | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
of America's southern neighbour. In an address to the nation, | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
Mexico's president said they have no The Mexican president is due | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
in Washington next week. He faces difficult discussions | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
with an American counterpart clearly determined to reverse | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
many of the changes brought Let's have a look at some of the | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
other stories this morning. Royal Bank of Scotland is taking | :08:13. | :08:27. | |
another financial hit for mis-selling risky mortgages | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
in America before the financial crisis hit in 2008. | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
The bank, which is more than 70% owned by the taxpayer, | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
will be fined an additional ?3 billion by the US | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
Department of Justice. A major report into the health | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
of children in the UK has found an "alarming gap" exists | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
between the rich and poor - with one in five young people | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
suffering as a result of poverty. The Royal College of Paediatrics | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
and Child Health also suggests the UK is lagging behind most | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
western European countries when it comes to measures such as infant | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
mortality rates and obesity. Our Health Correspondent, | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
Dominic Hughes, reports. Anxiety, depression | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
and a need to be listened to. These are the themes of a short | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
play on mental health, devised by school | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
students in Liverpool. The issues they touch on reflect | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
those in today's report on the health of children | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
and young people. It paints a picture of the UK | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
struggling to match other countries The evidence has been developing | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
for some time that all is not well It's the first time we have really | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
put together a proper picture across all four countries, | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
and the news is not good. Some of the issues that raise | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
concerns over the state of child health include just 34% | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
of babies breast fed to six months, 40% of children in | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
England's most deprived areas are overweight or obese, | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
and half of adult mental health And for the drama group | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
in Liverpool, mental Mental illnesses are an illness | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
of the brain, and they're as valid as any other illnesses | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
to any other part of the body. Just because you can't see it | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
physically, it doesn't mean Our production will mainly be to get | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
rid of that stigma about mental health, and just educate | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
the audience a bit more The four governments of the UK | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
are all challenged to consider the impact their policies | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
will have on children. They've responded by restating | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
commitments to improve Almost half of all hospitals | :10:33. | :10:33. | |
are failing to meet basic Government standards for hospital food, | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
according to data released The Campaign for Better | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
Hospital Food warns The Government says the standards | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
are "legally binding" The spacecraft which took | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
Major Tim Peake to and from the International Space Station | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
is going on public display today. The Soyuz capsule, still scorched | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
from its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere in June, is now | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
at the Science Museum in London. Our Global Science Correspondent | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
Rebecca Morelle is there. I should say extraterrestrials | :11:17. | :11:29. | |
Science Correspondent! It must be an exciting day, having a good look at | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
Matt? It is an amazing thing, really. Just behind me we have got | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
Tim Peake reunited with his Soyuz spacecraft. This is a craft that | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
took him up into space and safely back down again. It's incredible, | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
it's pretty small, really. You can imagine three people crammed in | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
there on the way up, sitting on top of 300 tonnes of rocket fuel, and on | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
the way back down again, flying through the atmosphere, temperatures | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
reaching 1500 Greece centigrade. You can see the scorch marks all down | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
the side there. This is a piece of spacious history that is being put | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
on display. It is bought by the science Museum from the Russian | :12:15. | :12:15. | |
space agency for an undisclosed amount, they are not saying how much | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
they paid. For Tim, it must be quite an emotional moment seeing it. We | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
were talking to Helen Sharman, the first Brit in space, she said you | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
get a patch to the spacecraft, it is essential for the most dangerous | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
part of the mission -- attached to the spacecraft. It is now on display | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
for everybody to come and see, a piece of history at the science | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
Museum, and Tim Peake with it. Banks, Rebecca. We will be talking | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
to Major Tim Peake himself, hopefully in about ten minutes. He | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
looks a bit busy at the minute! We'll let him do his tours. Do you | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
think they got a discount for the scorch marks on the scratches on the | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
side of it when Becks marked its not exactly a new vehicle. Before we | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
finish this section of the Ant and Dec won the prize for Best | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
TV presenter for the 16th year at last night's | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
National Television Awards. do they always win at?! They | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
literally storm it every year, don't they? | :13:17. | :13:17. | |
Other winners included Mary Berry for Best Judge, | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
What a lovely lady, she was over the moon. | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
And Strictly Come Dancing picked up the gong for Best Talent Show. | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
Emmerdale was voted Best Soap, and ITV's This Morning won | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
Beating us at! But we don't mind, because we just love our jobs, it's | :13:37. | :13:47. | |
lovely to be here. We didn't get to go to the party, but we're not | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
bitter. It's not the winning that counts. It's not even the party that | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
counts, it's just being here with you every day. Sincerity is in from | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
every pore! Children's health in the UK | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
is in jeopardy, with higher death rates and levels of obesity | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
than in much of Europe. That's the warning from | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
the The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
In a major report out today, the body also highlights | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
a growing gap between rich Let's find out more on this | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
from Dr Ronny Cheung, who's from the Royal College | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
of Paediatrics and Child Health. Thank you very much indeed for | :14:19. | :14:31. | |
joining us here this morning. These are bold warnings and claims. What | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
makes you so sure that things aren't as bad as the picture that you are | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
painting? Well, this is the first opportunity to manage and really | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
pull together all of the data around Child health in this country. Across | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
all four nations. Across 25 health indicators across the board, what we | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
have seen is that for many of them, we are not doing as well as we have | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
been doing, and certainly not as well as compared to our neighbours, | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
our comparable neighbours in Western Europe. For instance, in terms of | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
our child mortality levels, the rate of child deaths in childhood, we | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
have gone from being amongst the best in Europe, 20 or 30 years ago, | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
the now being amongst the worst. As you have said earlier on, the gap | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
between the outcomes for the poorest and the most affluent children in | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
this country is growing. Again, that pattern is replicated across all | :15:28. | :15:28. | |
indicators. We have a statement from the | :15:29. | :15:37. | |
Department of Health, who say it is a top priority for the Government. | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
They say they have dealt with tobacco, a soft drinks levy, obesity | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
strategy. We have similar statements from devolved governments. If all | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
that is going on, why do you say we are not seeing the improvements? We | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
welcome a lot of the strategies and policies that have come through from | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
the Government, but we don't think that some of them have gone far | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
enough. We need to be bolder in some of our strategies and policies that | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
come through. For instance, things based in good evidence, such as | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
minimum alcohol pricing, thinking about a tax levy on high sugar and | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
high fat foods, and reducing the advertising of those foods to young | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
children. It goes a little beyond that. We'd like to see, firstly, a | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
focus on tackling child poverty. As I said earlier, poorer children are | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
unhealthy children. And they will become the unhealthy adults in 20, | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
30 years. We are storing up problems if we don't tackle this now. We | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
should think about a unified national strategy, a cross | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
Government strategy for child health which looks at all areas of policy | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
and has child health embedded in all of those, be that in health, the | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
economy, in social care, and also education. You say in this report | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
that we are falling behind other countries in Western Europe - what | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
are they doing? Are there lessons that we can learn or is this a | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
cultural, social thing? With all of these things, it is different... | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
There are lots of different causes. We know that poverty is an issue, | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
but we also know that public health, in other words, an investment in | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
services that help tackle the causes of ill health, has been reducing | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
significantly in this country in the recent past. I think if we don't | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
manage to reinvest that money and that support for families and young | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
children, we will not be able to manage... We won't be able to get on | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
top of the problem and we will be chasing after it by investing more | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
in health care and health care problems in the future. Thank you | :17:59. | :17:59. | |
for joining us. I wonder what time it feels like to | :18:00. | :18:11. | |
Carol. She has had three hours sleep. I saw a picture of her in a | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
24-hour supermarket. What time did you get to bed after the TV awards? | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
Quarter to midnight. What might you look very fresh. -- you look very | :18:27. | :18:38. | |
fresh. How was the weather? Very fresh! | :18:39. | :18:49. | |
Today, it will feel quite bitter. We are pulling in all this cold air | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
from the near continent and it's going to sweep across our shores. | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
Wrap up warmly. You will feel it. I will show you that in a second. | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
There is also a lot of clout. Here and there are, it is they can offer | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
drizzle or the odd snow flurry. There is the risk of ice on | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
untreated surfaces, roads and pavements alike, first thing this | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
morning. In northern Scotland, a cold but beautiful day from the word | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
go. The rest of Scotland and parts of northern England will see some | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
breaks in the cloud, but there is a lot of cloud around. The cloud will | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
start to break up in southern counties of England, and some of us | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
will see some sunshine. The far south of England and into the South | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
West. Although there are temperatures of four Celsius in | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
Barnstaple, in the wind, it will feel colder. A lot of cloud in Wales | :19:51. | :20:01. | |
still, despite the breaks. There could be some doubt and drizzle in | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
Northern Ireland. Three Celsius is the maximum temperature in Glasgow. | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
With the wind chill, it will feel more like freezing. Through the | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
evening and overnight, still quite a windy one in prospect, then we have | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
a cluster of weather fronts moving in from the north and the West. They | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
will introduce more unsettled conditions in the form of rain. It | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
is still quite windy. This cold continental wind is still coming our | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
way. A frosty start for some tomorrow. Milder air starts to sweep | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
into the West. Less cold air moves across central and eastern areas. It | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
is certainly not going to be mild in central and eastern areas. On | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
Saturday, a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. Then | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
you can see what is waiting in the wings for Sunday. There is still | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
some uncertainty as to where this low pressure will end up. We think | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
at the moment it will bring rain to parts of Wales in southern England. | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
It might get this far north, but it might stay further south. If you are | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
doing something outdoors, do keep in touch with the weather forecast. | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
Further north, it looks at this stage like it will stay dry and find | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
with some sunshine. Temperatures continue to climb. The maximum | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
temperature in London today is run about one Celsius. By Sunday, it | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
will be a leading Celsius. Carroll, one more to go and then it is home | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
time! The spacecraft which took | :21:39. | :22:00. | |
Major Tim Peake to and from the International Space Station | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
is going on public display today. The Soyuz capsule, still scorched | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
from its re-entry into the Earth's I should say extraterrestrials | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
Science Correspondent! It must be an exciting day, | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
having a good look at It is really cool seeing that union | :22:10. | :22:44. | |
Jack going outside. There he goes! Major Tim Peake is at | :22:45. | :23:12. | |
the science Museum for us. Good morning. And stood in front of it, | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
does it bring back brilliant memories when you see your capsule? | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
Good morning. Yes, it certainly does. I arrived here about 30 | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
minutes ago, and this was the first time I had seen this capsule since | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
the 18th of June in Kazakhstan, and it has brought back all the memories | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
of the mission. We have seen some pictures of your trip to space. Tell | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
us about the capsule. It looks fairly small to, -- fairly small, to | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
be honest. It comprises three pieces. The other two pieces | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
separate just before we come back to the's atmosphere and they burn up. | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
The heat shield was jettisoned before landing as well, and this is | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
the only part that comes back to Earth, with the three crew members | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
and about a hundred kilos of cargo. Above me is also the huge canopy | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
which brings the capsule back to Earth safely. Obviously, an | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
important part of your life, but a brilliant bit of science and British | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
history for everyone to see now. It is, it is wonderful to see this | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
actual back in the UK. For everybody who gets to visit, I hope it will be | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
a great source of inspiration and will maybe so the seeds for young | :24:35. | :24:44. | |
people. I remember seeing this type of exhibit in museums as a child and | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
being inspired. It has done a fair few million miles in its time - what | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
is actually inside it, then? Inside is just about enough room for the | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
three crew members. I looked in the window this morning, and it even has | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
the seat liners that were moulded to our bodies. They are still in there. | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
In addition, the control panels and all the other bits and pieces that | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
enable us to control this spacecraft during launch and re-entry. It | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
really does have one careful user, it is in great condition. It is the | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
incredible to see it here and this CD scorch marks. Coming back into | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
the's atmosphere is very punishing that any space vehicle, so to see | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
the punishment this capsule has been through this morning is incredible. | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
Doing what you did is very rare and very expensive - tell us a bit about | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
why your trip was so important, what was the return on investment. From | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
an economic sense, it makes absolute sense for the UK to be involved in | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
human space flight. We get a huge return on our investment - around | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
2-1. In addition to the economic return, it is great for our industry | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
to be involved and for the science community to be involved. We are | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
doing great science on board the space station. We have started DNA | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
sequencing and genetic research. Also, for educational inspiration | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
was not so there are many great benefits in being involved in the | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
space programme, now and in the future. And I understand you are | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
going back to space in the future? Yellow like the space station is | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
going to go until 2024 at least. The European Space Agency and the UK | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
will be involved until then. It gives us a second opportunity to go | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
back to the space station. In fact, some of my colleagues are already | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
going back for their second mission next year. It is great for European | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
astronauts to be able to go back and continue our involvement in the | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
space programme. An absolute treat adult you. | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
Thank you for joining us. I would buy a used | :27:09. | :30:26. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London | :30:27. | :30:28. | |
Now though it's back to Jon and Steph. | :30:29. | :30:35. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Steph McGovern and Jon Kay. | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
Theresa May will call for a renewed special relationship | :30:40. | :30:42. | |
with the United States, when she addresses Republican | :30:43. | :30:45. | |
politicians at their annual retreat in Philadelphia later today. | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
The Prime Minister is due to become the first world leader | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
to hold face-to-face talks with President Trump, when they meet | :30:53. | :30:54. | |
She has said she's not afraid of having a candid conversation. | :30:55. | :31:01. | |
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said he believes that torture can work | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
to get information out of terrorism suspects. | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
In an interview with ABC News, the President said the US had | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
But Mr Trump said he would seek further advice before deciding | :31:11. | :31:21. | |
whether to bring back techniques such as water-boarding, which | :31:22. | :31:23. | |
I have spoken as recently as 24 hours ago with people at the highest | :31:24. | :31:32. | |
level of intelligence and I ask them the question, "Does it work? | :31:33. | :31:34. | |
And the answer was, "Yes, absolutely." | :31:35. | :31:43. | |
The Government will publish a Bill today, to enable it to invoke | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
Article 50 and trigger the process of Britain leaving | :31:47. | :31:48. | |
The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, has said the bill | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
will be straightforward - although opposition parties | :31:54. | :31:54. | |
Royal Bank of Scotland is taking another financial hit | :31:55. | :32:03. | |
for mis-selling risky mortgages in America before the financial | :32:04. | :32:05. | |
The bank, which is more than 70% owned by the taxpayer, | :32:06. | :32:13. | |
looks set to be fined an additional ?3 billion by the US | :32:14. | :32:16. | |
A major report into the health of children in the UK has found | :32:17. | :32:24. | |
an "alarming gap" exists between the rich and poor, | :32:25. | :32:26. | |
with one in five young people suffering as a result of poverty. | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health also suggests | :32:31. | :32:34. | |
the UK is lagging behind most western European countries when it | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
comes to measures such as infant mortality rates and obesity. | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
The four governments of the UK have reaffirmed their commitments | :32:42. | :32:47. | |
Ant and Dec won the prize for Best TV Presenter for the 16th year | :32:48. | :32:57. | |
at last night's National Television Awards. | :32:58. | :33:01. | |
BBC presenter Graham Norton was recognised for his services to | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
broadcasting. Strictly Come Dancing's Len Goodman, | :33:09. | :33:14. | |
who retired in December, lost out as the public's choice of best judge. | :33:15. | :33:18. | |
But it was Mary Berry who won. There is only one Mary Berry. | :33:19. | :33:29. | |
Please welcome your host for the night! | :33:30. | :33:31. | |
The National Television Awards bring out the great and the good | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
A new category was introduced this year for Period Drama, | :33:36. | :33:48. | |
Best Comedy went to Mrs Brown's Boys and it was Strictly Come Dancing | :33:49. | :33:56. | |
that waltzed off with the award for Best Talent Show. | :33:57. | :33:58. | |
Best TV Judge went to a very surprised Mary Berry in her final | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
The first and most important thing is to be fair, | :34:02. | :34:15. | |
Despite our television viewing habits changing, | :34:16. | :34:17. | |
the average household watches about 3.5 hours a day. | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
Nights like the NTAs are a chance to celebrate the best | :34:22. | :34:24. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, the nation's heartthrob, Mr Graham Norton! | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
Chatshow host Graham Norton collected the Lifetime | :34:28. | :34:28. | |
And Ant and Dec won Best TV Presenter for | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
We're very lucky to have the three big shows at the moment | :34:34. | :34:45. | |
We just want to keep making good telly. | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
But the surprise of the night was Casualty's win for Best Drama. | :34:49. | :35:02. | |
The perennial Saturday night staple, which turned 30 last year, beat some | :35:03. | :35:08. | |
high budget affairs like Game Of Thrones. | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
It looks like they had a great night without us! | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
They sent us some pictures. That meant the world! | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
But they have got hangovers! Victoria Derbyshire | :35:22. | :35:24. | |
is on at 9am on BBC Two. Let's see what's | :35:25. | :35:28. | |
on today's programme. Today, and exclusive interview with | :35:29. | :35:40. | |
Raffaele Sollecito, who, together with Amanda Knox, was wrongly | :35:41. | :35:45. | |
imprisoned for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher. I am a | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
normal guy who passed through a nightmare. Now, I'm different | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
because of the nightmare I passed through, but I'm innocent. This week | :35:54. | :36:00. | |
he finds out if he is to receive compensation for what he | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
experienced. Join us after Breakfast on BBC Two, the BBC News Channel, | :36:05. | :36:07. | |
and online. Victoria, thank you. | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
Coming up here on Breakfast this morning... | :36:11. | :36:14. | |
From the outside, it appeared to be an ordinary Brixton flat, | :36:15. | :36:17. | |
but for decades it housed an extraordinary secret. | :36:18. | :36:19. | |
We'll find out more about the strange cult | :36:20. | :36:21. | |
and the people who helped rescue those enslaved in it. | :36:22. | :36:23. | |
The former dentist who took up sprinting in his 90s. | :36:24. | :36:30. | |
Now a world record holder, Charles Eugster will be here to tell | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
us why he's refusing to slow down in old age. | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
We've travelled to Tokyo to find out how the man known | :36:39. | :36:44. | |
as the Steven Spielberg of gaming is planning to change the industry | :36:45. | :36:47. | |
We talked about double act this morning with ant and Dec... | :36:48. | :37:04. | |
The Williams sisters! Another 88 pinching the headlines. It is | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
difficult for Venus, your sister on the cusp of winning a | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
record-breaking 23rd grand slam title and you watch the only one | :37:13. | :37:16. | |
standing in her way. What do you do? Venus is an amazing competitor, of | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
course she will be giving everything in the final on Saturday. But... You | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
would not want to be in the locker room afterwards or on the flight | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
home with your sister afterwards if you had beaten her to stop her | :37:29. | :37:31. | |
winning that! Have a seat in between! | :37:32. | :37:34. | |
It's Serena vs Venus at the Australian Open - | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
the first all-Williams final since the Wimbledon | :37:38. | :37:38. | |
Serena, a six-time winner in Melbourne, comfortably | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
beat the world number 79 Mirjana Lucic-Baroni | :37:43. | :37:43. | |
Baroni was playing in her first Grand Slam semifinal in 18 years. | :37:44. | :37:51. | |
And she couldn't match the pace and power of the world number two. | :37:52. | :37:58. | |
And, at the age of 36, her older sister Venus is through. | :37:59. | :38:04. | |
The seven-time Grand Slam beat Coco Vandeweghe in three sets - | :38:05. | :38:06. | |
she said it would be a dream to see Serena on the other side | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
And we're guaranteed a British winner in the men's wheelchair | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
doubles in Melbourne, because Alfie Hewitt | :38:14. | :38:20. | |
and Gordon Reid will face off with their respective partners. | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
Andy Lapthorne is on court at the moment, going for his third | :38:25. | :38:26. | |
Australian Open title in the quad doubles - he and his partner have | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
Southampton beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield last night | :38:30. | :38:32. | |
1-0 up from the first leg, Saints spent much of the match | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
defending before Shane Long booked his side's trip to Wembley. | :38:39. | :38:40. | |
They reached the final without conceding a goal. | :38:41. | :38:42. | |
Southampton will play either Hull City or Manchester United | :38:43. | :38:44. | |
who play their second-leg semi tonight. | :38:45. | :38:46. | |
Celtic have stretched their lead at the top | :38:47. | :38:48. | |
of the Scottish Premiership to 22 points. | :38:49. | :38:51. | |
They beat St Johnston 1-0 in the first game in the league | :38:52. | :38:56. | |
since the winter break and have now gone 26 domestic games unbeaten, | :38:57. | :38:59. | |
Meanwhile, in the Scottish Cup, Hearts came back from 1-0 down | :39:00. | :39:05. | |
to beat Championship Raith Rovers 4-2 in extra time of their | :39:06. | :39:08. | |
They'll host Edinburgh rivals Hibs next. | :39:09. | :39:12. | |
Britain's Millie Knight and guide Brett Wild won downhill gold | :39:13. | :39:17. | |
on the opening day of the World Para Alpine Skiing | :39:18. | :39:19. | |
The 18-year-old visually-impaired skier beat the five-time | :39:20. | :39:25. | |
Paralympic champion Henrieta Farkasova of Slovakia. | :39:26. | :39:26. | |
Knight was Britain's youngest athlete at the Sochi Paralympics | :39:27. | :39:29. | |
and has dominated the World Cup circuit in recent months | :39:30. | :39:31. | |
winning 11 medals - seven of them gold. | :39:32. | :39:39. | |
When we came into this, we thought, we just want to be pleased with our | :39:40. | :39:46. | |
runs, we want to be able to come down, finished the line and think, | :39:47. | :39:49. | |
yes, I'm pleased with that, we did our best, we couldn't go any faster, | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
and the result would look after its self. We got both of those feelings | :39:54. | :39:59. | |
today, so chuffed! It is amazing what she does, Brett, | :40:00. | :40:04. | |
her guide, skis down in front of her and shouts the instructions, she has | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
to listen out and feel when two... So brave, not being able to see | :40:09. | :40:13. | |
where you are going particularly well and throw yourself down a | :40:14. | :40:15. | |
mountain like that. Well done to her. | :40:16. | :40:21. | |
When it comes to sporting stars, the achievements of our next | :40:22. | :40:24. | |
He is absolutely nailing it in his 90s. | :40:25. | :40:34. | |
In 2015, Charles Eugster set a new world record for the 200m - | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
Since retiring, the former dentist has also won numerous medals | :40:38. | :40:48. | |
Now, at the of 97, he shows no sign of slowing down. | :40:49. | :40:58. | |
Charles wants to redefine the way we see old age so he's written | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
a book about getting older and staying active. | :41:04. | :41:05. | |
We'll speak to him in a moment, but first let's see what goes | :41:06. | :41:08. | |
Relentless! Child is with us this morning, good morning. I am amazed | :41:09. | :41:58. | |
to see you in a suit, I thought you would be wearing your shorts and a | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
T-shirt. Well, I consider this to be a very special occasion, so I | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
thought it would be appropriate if I should wear a tie. Well, we are | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
delighted to have you. You have got your medals with you... I have just | :42:13. | :42:27. | |
two, the world champion, two World Championships. This is for which | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
sport? You have done so many! This is 100 metres and 200 metres. And | :42:34. | :42:41. | |
seeing your training regime there, Charles, do you ever have a break or | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
are you constantly on the move?! Oh, no, no, that is a complete | :42:47. | :42:54. | |
misunderstanding. At the present time, my coach puts me through a | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
very tough regime. We train for about three hours, but only once a | :43:00. | :43:06. | |
week. In the other days, if the weather is OK, I do my running or | :43:07. | :43:13. | |
sprinting. We are seeing some pictures of you running here because | :43:14. | :43:16. | |
Mike Bushell, our presenter, did some training with you a couple of | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
years ago, didn't he? Reading the book you have written, what | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
surprised me, I assumed you had been a really sporty youngster, into | :43:26. | :43:31. | |
sports and games and PE, but that is not the case, you were quite sick as | :43:32. | :43:36. | |
a child? I was very sickly child, and the other point that I think | :43:37. | :43:42. | |
should be remembered is the fact that, during the middle-aged, I was | :43:43. | :43:49. | |
a self-satisfied bolding lump of lard. There is nothing wrong with | :43:50. | :43:55. | |
that, Charles! And then your life change? And then my life changed | :43:56. | :44:03. | |
simply because I realised that there was a new rowing category, the | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
oldest age at that particular time was 60 and so I started rowing at | :44:08. | :44:13. | |
the age of 63. Was that hard? There will be a lot of people who will be | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
so inspired by you and think, if he can do it, I can do it. What it | :44:19. | :44:23. | |
difficult at the age of 63 to suddenly become a row were? No, | :44:24. | :44:27. | |
because I had been growing at school and also during university, and just | :44:28. | :44:41. | |
restarted. So one of the great advantages of education here in the | :44:42. | :44:46. | |
UK is the opportunity to learn so many different sports and in older | :44:47. | :44:52. | |
age you can then pick out one that would apply to you. You also write | :44:53. | :44:58. | |
very honestly about losing your wife and basically having to make a | :44:59. | :45:02. | |
choice about what you wanted to do with your life, and you just threw | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
everything into going forward and embracing the opportunities in front | :45:07. | :45:12. | |
of you? Well, it's perhaps was not exactly like that. What happened was | :45:13. | :45:20. | |
that I was rowing six days a week and at the age of about 86, in spite | :45:21. | :45:26. | |
of the fact that I was rolling six days a week, my body began to | :45:27. | :45:32. | |
deteriorate, and, being an extremely vain person, I wanted to do | :45:33. | :45:37. | |
something about it, I wanted to build muscle. I tried some weights, | :45:38. | :45:43. | |
that didn't give a great deal, so at the age of 807I joined a | :45:44. | :45:50. | |
body-building club and employed a previous Mr Universe as a coach. The | :45:51. | :45:58. | |
first thing that I learned was that I must not, under any circumstances, | :45:59. | :46:04. | |
train six days a week. I must only, maximum, trained three, because if | :46:05. | :46:08. | |
you build muscle you have to have a certain amount of recovery period. | :46:09. | :46:15. | |
And that is extremely important because endurance exercise needs is | :46:16. | :46:19. | |
shorter recovery period so that you can train six days a week, but if | :46:20. | :46:27. | |
you do your exercise to build strength and muscle, you have to | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
have a recovery period. I am also very vain, like you, so I have no | :46:33. | :46:36. | |
intention of embarrassing myself on television but I would like to | :46:37. | :46:42. | |
volunteer Steph Maybe some sit dips or something like that? | :46:43. | :46:49. | |
The jacket is being undone. It must be serious! Let me take that. So, | :46:50. | :47:00. | |
what are we doing? I will hold the microphone. So we can hear you. What | :47:01. | :47:10. | |
are we doing here then? Are we doing dips? Are we going to have a | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
competition over who can last longest? I think it will be you! | :47:14. | :47:24. | |
Show us a few. OK. Do we count it? Let's just carry on! Tell me what | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
would be your key thing that you would say to anyone watching, who is | :47:29. | :47:33. | |
thinking, I don't know if I have the strength to do this. He's fast, | :47:34. | :47:40. | |
isn't he! Do you know what, I'm going to stop. My arms are killing | :47:41. | :47:45. | |
me! Charles, thank you so much. Let's leave him to its! I think you | :47:46. | :47:56. | |
cheated! I probably did. Charles, 97 years old. I would say 97 years | :47:57. | :48:03. | |
young! I'm out of breath! Thank you so much. | :48:04. | :48:07. | |
Charles' book is called Age Is Just A Number. | :48:08. | :48:14. | |
Clearly I need to work on my fitness! | :48:15. | :48:20. | |
Figures out later this morning are expected to show the British | :48:21. | :48:26. | |
economy finished last year strongly, providing evidence that the UK | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
economy remained resilient in the fact of Brexit. | :48:30. | :48:32. | |
Let's get more from Ben who's in London for us this morning. | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
He's in the city with a great view. What are we expecting at 9:30am? | :48:37. | :48:47. | |
Good morning. I could have done with some of those exercises to keep us | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
warm up here this morning. But we have this great vantage point, the | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
institution of engineering and technology in central London. We | :48:56. | :49:01. | |
will be keeping a close eye on what we hear as far as economic growth is | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
concerned, get the figure for the last quarter of last year. We will | :49:06. | :49:09. | |
see how the economy fares in the wake of the Brexit vote. And with | :49:10. | :49:13. | |
all sorts of changes as far as the economy is concerned going forward | :49:14. | :49:16. | |
for the year ahead. What should we expect and what will mean for | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
finances and the money in our pocket? Cathy and David, thank you | :49:22. | :49:26. | |
for bearing the cold. We have talked already about the impact of | :49:27. | :49:29. | |
uncertainty. That's the big thing this year. What would it mean for | :49:30. | :49:33. | |
the money in our pocket, will we feel worse off this year? Writes | :49:34. | :49:40. | |
now, no. Wages are actually going up and employment is at record levels. | :49:41. | :49:45. | |
People have jobs and wages are rising, but I think we will feel it | :49:46. | :49:50. | |
down the line. If businesses like financial businesses and big banks | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
leave the city, that's where we will see unemployment levels rise and | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
potentially wages come down and consumers will feel the pinch. | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
Unemployment is rising and wages going down, not a pretty picture. | :50:02. | :50:09. | |
No, but although I agree with 90% of what Cathy says, we are not going to | :50:10. | :50:15. | |
have droves of people leaving the City of London. On the | :50:16. | :50:18. | |
straightforward question of inflation, she will be correct, | :50:19. | :50:26. | |
currently inflation is two point 6%. If it changes people would be more | :50:27. | :50:29. | |
concerned about how they spend money. 60% of expenditure in this | :50:30. | :50:34. | |
country comes from retail expenditure. If people are not | :50:35. | :50:39. | |
spending money than unemployment will go up. Consumer spending has | :50:40. | :50:45. | |
kept the economy so strong. The one caveat is that after 2008 the UK | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
consumer was wonderful, and incredibly resilient beast. It could | :50:51. | :50:53. | |
be the same this time. You are right, we do not know what will | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
happen with Brexit. There is a lot for Theresa May to do. Lovely to | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
speak to you both. That the state of play, wait and see. We get the | :51:03. | :51:05. | |
figures at 9:30am. We are looking for a figure of 0.5%. The commute | :51:06. | :51:14. | |
into London is well underway, streaming across Waterloo Bridge | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
behind me. I'm impressed with the number of cyclists and joggers out | :51:19. | :51:21. | |
this morning, some of them wearing shorts! It's freezing here this | :51:22. | :51:26. | |
morning. Go and join them, Ben. It'll keep me warm! His brief | :51:27. | :51:30. | |
silence was deafening then. We mentioned about the weather and | :51:31. | :51:38. | |
how chilly it is in London, but what about the rest of the country? | :51:39. | :51:43. | |
Good morning, it's cold wherever you are this morning, not just London. | :51:44. | :51:52. | |
Temperatures around freezing, just above or below for the UK. This | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
picture from Cheshire, a bit of brightness. As we push towards | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
Derbyshire, Chesterfield, again eight Pleasant Sunrise with a bit of | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
missed. As we push towards this picture in North Yorkshire, you can | :52:08. | :52:10. | |
see there's a fair bit of cloud around. The forecast today is a | :52:11. | :52:15. | |
cloudy one for the bulk of the UK. Also cold because we are dragging in | :52:16. | :52:20. | |
cold, Continental air on a south-easterly wind, right the way | :52:21. | :52:23. | |
across the UK. Although your thermometer might say it's 2 | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
degrees, it will feel much colder in the wind. We have pockets of fog, | :52:29. | :52:35. | |
mostly hill fog across northern England. Watch out for ice on | :52:36. | :52:39. | |
untreated surfaces where it is damp. Damp conditions coming out of thick | :52:40. | :52:44. | |
cloud, some drizzle and maybe some snow flurries, but most of us will | :52:45. | :52:48. | |
miss it. Northern Scotland will have sunshine from the beginning, but the | :52:49. | :52:51. | |
rest of Scotland will see sunny breaks and parts of northern England | :52:52. | :52:56. | |
will as well. However, a lot of cloud into the afternoon. You can | :52:57. | :52:58. | |
see from the temperatures, not particularly high. Across the | :52:59. | :53:04. | |
southern counties, we're looking at sunshine coming through but it will | :53:05. | :53:09. | |
still feel cold. Into the south-west, a similar story with | :53:10. | :53:11. | |
sunny spells developing. Southern Wales will also see sunshine but | :53:12. | :53:18. | |
also a lot of cloud around. Into Northern Ireland, a cloudy start | :53:19. | :53:20. | |
that will remain fairly cloudy through the day with the odd spot of | :53:21. | :53:26. | |
drizzle here and there. The temperatures, freezing in Newcastle | :53:27. | :53:32. | |
with a maximum temperature. Four in Cardiff, but when you add in the | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
wind chill, it will feel more like -6 in Newcastle and freezing in | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
Cardiff. As we head through Thursday and into Friday, things more | :53:42. | :53:44. | |
unsettled with weather fronts coming from the west that will introduce | :53:45. | :53:50. | |
some rain. Temperatures won't be as low and it will be less cold as we | :53:51. | :53:54. | |
push across central and eastern areas. But it will not feel warm. | :53:55. | :54:00. | |
But at least you are looking smiley and fabulous despite just three | :54:01. | :54:05. | |
hours sleep. That's good enough for me. So are you. I wasn't at the TV | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
awards. It's an industry worth | :54:11. | :54:13. | |
billions of pounds - But what does the future have | :54:14. | :54:15. | |
in store for computer games? Hideo Kojima - known | :54:16. | :54:20. | |
as the Steven Spielberg of gaming - wants to change the industry forever | :54:21. | :54:24. | |
by combining virtual reality BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat's Steffan | :54:25. | :54:27. | |

designers, you come to Tokyo. In Japan, it's customary to exchange | :54:42. | :54:46. | |
gifts before an interview. But what do you get the guy whose | :54:47. | :54:49. | |
many lifetime achievement awards And I hear you are a bit | :54:50. | :54:52. | |
of a Lego fan, on the quiet. Yes. | :54:53. | :55:03. | |
Thank you. 30 years ago, games were all | :55:04. | :55:06. | |
about fighting things, until this man decided to make one | :55:07. | :55:09. | |
about sneaking around instead. The stealth genre that is still | :55:10. | :55:12. | |
so popular today was born. For decades he made Metal Gear | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
titles for the giant gaming company Konami, | :55:17. | :55:22. | |
which sold millions of copies. But after splitting from them | :55:23. | :55:27. | |
controversially in 2015, gamers across the world | :55:28. | :55:30. | |
are desperate to find out So far, just two trailers | :55:31. | :55:32. | |
about his next game, Death Stranding, which will be | :55:33. | :55:40. | |
a PlayStation exclusive. TRANSLATION: We want this game to be | :55:41. | :55:50. | |
something that people can get into very easily, | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
but after they play it for about an hour or two, | :55:54. | :55:55. | |
they start to notice something It's something they | :55:56. | :55:58. | |
haven't played before. It is normal to stay tight-lipped | :55:59. | :56:03. | |
about upcoming projects like this. It's far too soon for people to test | :56:04. | :56:11. | |
it, so no one can say But the idea that it's | :56:12. | :56:15. | |
different from what's been As we visit places that have been | :56:16. | :56:23. | |
important turning points in his recent history, | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
he explained how he sees the gaming industry changing | :56:29. | :56:31. | |
for ever with movies, games and music, converging | :56:32. | :56:33. | |
in different ways. There are almost hidden movies | :56:34. | :56:36. | |
or hidden series within the game? Yes, for example, or within | :56:37. | :56:53. | |
the movie we have a game hidden. TRANSLATION: Things are just games | :56:54. | :56:56. | |
and music and novels and movies, and all these things will kind | :56:57. | :57:03. | |
of mesh together into one What struck me about spending time | :57:04. | :57:06. | |
with Hideo Kojima is, here's a man who's achieved | :57:07. | :57:12. | |
everything there is to within When I asked him about retirement | :57:13. | :57:14. | |
he basically said, no chance. He's still really passionate | :57:15. | :57:18. | |
and energetic about And he's still coming | :57:19. | :57:19. | |
up with new ideas. And he's set himself his | :57:20. | :57:26. | |
biggest challenge yet. He's changed the gaming | :57:27. | :57:28. | |
industry once, and now So, what can we look | :57:29. | :57:30. | |
forward to in the future, and how could advances in gaming be | :57:31. | :57:42. | |

vision. He created the Metal Gear franchise, stealth and speaking out. | :58:12. | :58:16. | |
I don't like it, I like blowing things up! -- sneaking around. But | :58:17. | :58:24. | |
the scale of that franchise as well, it was one of the first franchises | :58:25. | :58:28. | |
that rather than coming in from books or gaming or films was created | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
in gaming and built up to the point where it stood on its own two feet. | :58:34. | :58:37. | |
It sounds like he's influenced and set the agenda, he's been ahead of | :58:38. | :58:41. | |
the curve the whole way. Is he right when he predicts the next stage | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
about this fusing of novels and movies and games together into one | :58:46. | :58:50. | |
output? I would say yes and no. We see lots more crossover of comics, | :58:51. | :58:55. | |
books and films and games. The Marvel franchise is a good example. | :58:56. | :59:00. | |
I don't think one necessarily replaces the other. Films didn't | :59:01. | :59:05. | |
replace books. Records and LPs are still around despite CDs and digital | :59:06. | :59:08. | |
music. Just because you bring them all together and you're able to | :59:09. | :59:14. | |
doesn't mean you do. There is something about passive | :59:15. | :59:16. | |
entertainment and absorbing someone else's vision and being in the game. | :59:17. | :59:23. | |
I think games will be increasingly cinematic, especially at the high | :59:24. | :59:26. | |
with virtual reality but I don't think it necessarily replaces all | :59:27. | :59:30. | |
the other games or entertainment. But games are so pricey that's an | :59:31. | :59:35. | |
issue. Will they be eight big cost in the future for parents? Yes and | :59:36. | :59:41. | |
no. About ?80 billion split three ways in the industry now between PC, | :59:42. | :59:46. | |
high-end gaming with virtual reality. The console market is still | :59:47. | :59:51. | |
pricey, but mobile gaming is now the biggest segment and we pay | :59:52. | :59:55. | |
relatively small sums up front, if anything, and that's the way the | :59:56. | :59:59. | |
market goes, players you play. -- pay as you play. | :00:00. | :00:05. | |
The school day is beginning for many across the country. | :00:06. | :00:17. | |
But keeping up with schoolwork can be stressful for any young person, | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
especially those caring for a loved one. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Research from the Carers Trust has revealed almost three quarters | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
of young carers take time off school to look after relatives, | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
while more than half struggle to meet deadlines. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Holly Hamilton has been to meet two sisters who care for their mum - | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Just nine and 13, they have big dreams of becoming actresses. | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
But right now their job is taking care of their mum. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
When she had a heart attack she got tunnel vision, and then it is hard | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
I do a lot of tidying up, packing things away and keeping | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
things off the floor, because when things are on the floor | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
I was the kind of mum that did everything for her children, | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
the running around, the picking up, and they relied | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
And then suddenly I couldn't do anything for them and found | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
that they were having to do things for me. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
That's what we've been learning about. | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
Claudia and Leonie are young carers, like more than 700,000 children | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
in the UK, many providing care for over 50 hours a week. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
So it's no surprise that a survey by the Carers Trust | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
found that more than half of those aged 16-25 were struggling | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
Homework is the thing I struggle with because I'm | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
always doing loads of chores and stuff, and then I have to find | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Local council bosses say it is vital young carers | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
are identified so they can get the support they need | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
You see everyone and you think, "Oh, they're so lucky, | :02:11. | :02:27. | |
they can do all this and that," but then you think, "Oh, | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
But then I also think it is important that I help her out | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
and I like being responsible for her, because it makes | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Claudia and Leonie are getting help from their school, | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
meaning they can focus on their schoolwork | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
What does the word carer mean for you? | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
Well, when I think "carer", I think it's not normal, | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
Like, when you're an actress you have a big role to play, | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
but then when you finish doing that part you need to stop, | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
but it's like you're doing that role forever. | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
Joining us now is Gail Scott-Spicer, who's chief executive | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
You have been doing research and looking at the common problems? Yes, | :03:25. | :03:36. | |
we have new data released today from the Carers Trust which showed young | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
carollers are at real danger of not fulfilling their potential in | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
education, shoving that they are not potentially going to reach their | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
life ambitions, so we have got data today that shows half of young | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
carers have problems coping with their schoolwork, they are | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
struggling to meet deadlines and actually about a third of young | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
carers are regularly having to skip school because of their caring | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
responsibilities. How does a teacher, then, spot that a child who | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
is caring is struggling or maybe not reaching their potential? What | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
should teachers be looking out for? Today is Young Carers Awareness Day | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
and it is precisely for that, so that teachers and other | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
professionals, in health care and local authorities, can spot the | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
signs and things to look out for, children being absent from school, | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
behavioural issues, sometimes depression as well, all those sorts | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
of things that you cannot out for. We support schools to be able to | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
talk to carers in a way that will help them and not stigmatise them as | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
well. I bet for a lot of them they probably don't want to add admit | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
they have problems at home with their family because it is the kind | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
of thing you can get picked on for at school? Yes, we know that young | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
carers are bullied because they seem different, so even if their peers | :04:56. | :05:05. | |
don't know they a Qera, it is really challenging, which is why we work | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
with schools and support young carers directly. At Carers Trust we | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
have 90 services around the country that are part of our network and | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
support young carers with local support and activities and they can | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
meet other carers and understand they are not alone and get support | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
about what might be going on at school. Also they can reach out to | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
somebody at school, a teacher or someone they might trust, in | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
complete confidence to get support with what might be happening and | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
help them engage more at school. One of the challenges is that their | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
preacher ambitions can be completely shattered so what we are doing today | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
is think about what carers want to be when they grow up, so it is great | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
to be able to support professionals like teachers to talk to them. And | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
opportunities to support one another online as well? Yes, if people go to | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
the Carers Trust website, you can find our forums for children who are | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
carers and older children who are carers, it can be anonymous, which | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
can be a first step into getting support for themselves. I guess it | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
can be quite a lonely thing as well as a responsible thing, can't it? | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
Thank you very much indeed for coming on this morning. | :06:14. | :06:14. | |
We'll be speaking to the film-maker Vanessa Engle in a moment | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
about her documentary The Cult Next Door, as well as one | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
But first, let's have a last, brief look at the headlines | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
I'll be back at 1.30pm with the lunchtime news - | :06:28. | :08:15. | |
In 2013, three woman emerged from a small, | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
ordinary-looking flat in Brixton in south London. | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
It soon came to light the walls had been hiding | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
an extraordinary and distressing secret. | :08:29. | :08:29. | |
For three decades, the women had been kept as prisoners - | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
brainwashed and enslaved by a bizarre cult. | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
The documentary-maker Vanessa Engle has been | :08:37. | :08:37. | |
She joins us along with Yvonne Hall, a care worker who helped the women | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
Thank you so much for coming in. This is a really, really difficult | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
story to tell because so much of it happened behind closed doors, but I | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
know you were desperately keen to tell it, to make the world aware of | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
what happened? Yes, it is a riveting and extraordinary story but, as a | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
film-maker, that was the challenge, that it took place over nearly 40 | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
years but all behind closed doors and there is no video footage, very | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
few photographs taken. The challenge as a film-maker is how do you tell | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
an amazing story when it all happened, as I say, in visibly? | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
Evolved, how are the women now? You worked closely with them when they | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
were rescued from this situation, how are they? In terms of Katy, she | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
is doing very well, she has learned to live independently and is doing | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
very well considering the start that she had in her life, being born in | :09:45. | :09:54. | |
captivity. In terms of Aisha, she is integrating into the community | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
beautifully, and unfortunately Josie is still not very well. She is | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
campaigning to have her captors released. Which is quite common, | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
isn't it? We can hear a clip from Katy. | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
He used to say that everything would go against me if I had done wrong. | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
So, like, possibly the light shouldn't work or the tap shouldn't | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
work because everything's controlled by him, by "Jackie", he's my control | :10:26. | :10:41. | |
So if I went to the bathroom or turn the tap on it | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
shouldn't work because I had done wrong. | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
Then when I went to the bathroom and the tap did work I | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
thought, "Oh, the tap, you're on my side, thank you!" | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
And hugged the toilet when the flush worked. | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
Clearly they were all brainwashed by Aravindan Balakrishnan, can you | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
explain this? Balakrishnan was very clever in the way he acted, he | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
targeted vulnerable young women who were university educated and used | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
brainwashing techniques to control their mind WHO. He also very | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
invented this mind control machine called "Jackie", which is an acronym | :11:30. | :11:38. | |
of all the gods, Jehovah, Allah Krishna, Christ, and he used that to | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
maintain control by saying that this machine could actually kill them or | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
damage or harm them if they didn't obey him. It is incredible to think | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
that this was going on in a build up, busy neighbourhood and hardly | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
anybody knew what was happening? Yes, we interviewed some of the | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
neighbours in the film and a lot of them had noticed this was quite a | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
strange group, but I think when the group came and went they tended to | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
keep themselves to themselves or be quite hostile or monosyllabic, and I | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
suppose it is a feature of living in a big city, we all have a level of | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
anonymity and that is something people enjoy about living in a big | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
city. Making a film like this, you realise that it is very, very | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
chilling and unnerving to realise something so bizarre and so | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
frightening can be happening within yards of where you might be living. | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
Watching the documentary, the neighbours got quite upset about | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
what had gone on, because what is interesting about this is it started | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
off as a spiritual movement and then became sinister, so you can see how | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
these women were trapped, because they really were brainwashed? They | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
were absolutely brainwashed, and it started off as what they thought was | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
a political movement, they wanted to make a difference in society, they | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
were disgruntled with the way the world was at that time and they | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
subscribed to Chairman Mao and his teachings, but over a period of time | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
a lot of that followed was dropped off and they were left with a core | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
group of people. We will have to leave it there, I'm afraid, but | :13:22. | :13:22. | |
thank you both very much indeed. The Cult Next Door is | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
on BBC Two tonight at 9pm. That's all from | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
Breakfast this morning. You might get the impression | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
that history is just a record | :13:30. | :13:52. |
