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.

:11:19.:11:21.

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.

been a computer programme that will work out how good a fielder is. This

: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

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

:25:35.: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.

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

Prime Minister Theresa May will be heading to the US, she is going

when she addresses Republican politicians at their annual retreat

in Philadelphia later today. The Prime Minister is due to become

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,

such as infant mortality The number of cars built in the UK

:36:12.:36:13.

Television Awards. Can you imagine how big their trophy

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,

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.

:40:35.:40:37.

eight medals, at what he has achieved is still amazing.

Captain Eoin Morgan captain says the current England one day side

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.

Britain's Millie Knight and guide Brett Wild won downhill

arms and we wanted to come down, finished the bride and think I'm a

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

we think that is Britain's first ever world Para scheme title. --

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.

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.

:01:21.:01:24.

showdown in Melbourne. Venus Williams is through and in the

: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

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,

complete with a belt -- Bakewell tart, I'm told, and she will also

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

Theresa May has said she is not afraid of having a candid

conversation with President Trump, who said he believed that torture

: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.

Still to come this morning, we'll meet nine-year-old Leonie.

:26:54.:26:58.

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

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,

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

investigation into the service. The National Audit Office said rising

demand, recruitment problems and wider NHS problems meant crews were

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.

recovery in Europe. Around 1.7 million cars rolled off

:33:10.:33:11.

campaign for better hospital food warned the situation is diabolical.

:33:38.:33:41.

The government says the standards are legally binding and that

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

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

Saints spent much of the match defending before Shane Long

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.

:36:37.:36:41.

because they worked very hard since the beginning of the season,

and played every three Celtic have stretched

:36:50.:36:56.

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

anything more terrifying, not being able to see properly and skiing at

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.

took him up into space and safely back down again. It's incredible,

it's pretty small, really. You can imagine three people crammed in

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.

consultant, Tom Cheesewright. Good morning. It's an incredible

:57:46.:57:57.

story about him. He looks so young but he's 53. Gaming keeps you young!

:57:58.:58:03.

Explain why he's so important in the industry. He's got that important

:58:04.:58:11.

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.
