:00:00. > :00:07.This is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Steph

:00:08. > :00:11.The veteran actor Sir John Hurt has died aged 77.

:00:12. > :00:13.He appeared in 200 films and television productions

:00:14. > :00:32.and was twice nominated for an Oscar.

:00:33. > :00:33.Good morning, it's Saturday, 28th January.

:00:34. > :00:41.Donald Trump and Theresa May pledge their commitment

:00:42. > :00:55.I am a people person. I think you are also, Theresa, and I can often

:00:56. > :00:57.tell how I get along with somebody very early and I believe we will

:00:58. > :01:00.have a fantastic relationship. After a spate of accidents,

:01:01. > :01:03.a call for lorry drivers to be banned from using satnavs

:01:04. > :01:05.designed for cars. In sport, a let off

:01:06. > :01:07.for the Premier League champions. Leicester City were four minutes

:01:08. > :01:11.from being knocked out of the FA Cup by Derby County, but Wes Morgan

:01:12. > :01:23.earns them a replay. It's not as cold as it has been over

:01:24. > :01:26.recent days, but we've got rain to contend with today and it is still

:01:27. > :01:30.cold enough for some of that range of four as snow in the hills of

:01:31. > :01:31.Scotland. A full forecast in the next half-hour.

:01:32. > :01:38.He was 77 and had recently been battling cancer.

:01:39. > :01:42.He starred in around 200 films, including Harry Potter

:01:43. > :01:45.and was nominated for an Oscar for his roles in The Elephant Man

:01:46. > :01:58.Our correspondent Nick Higham reports.

:01:59. > :02:07.Everything came to a head today. A nice man with an unexpected

:02:08. > :02:08.sympathetic one. The sort of complex character John Hurt played with such

:02:09. > :02:13.ease and subtlety. His talent was spotted early

:02:14. > :02:16.in a succession of leading stage His first big breakthrough came

:02:17. > :02:25.in 1966 in A Man For All Seasons. A small part, but in a high profile,

:02:26. > :02:31.Oscar-winning film. A few years later he was starring

:02:32. > :02:34.opposite Richard Attenborough in 10 On television he was the mad Roman

:02:35. > :02:49.Emperor in I, Claudius. Do you think I ordered

:02:50. > :02:55.triumph for myself? And then came

:02:56. > :03:00.The Naked Civil Servant. I wear rouge and mascara

:03:01. > :03:04.on my eyelashes, I dye my hair Many people said, don't do it, you

:03:05. > :03:12.will never work again. But I said it wasn't

:03:13. > :03:18.about being homosexual, it was about the tenderness of

:03:19. > :03:21.the individual against the cruelty He earned an Oscar nomination

:03:22. > :03:24.for Midnight Express in which he played a heroin addict

:03:25. > :03:27.in a Turkish prison. And there was another Oscar

:03:28. > :03:30.nomination for his performance as the hideously

:03:31. > :03:31.disfigured John Merrick I'm not used to being

:03:32. > :03:35.treated so well... His lined and weathered face meant

:03:36. > :03:39.he was perfect in the film 1984 He accepted all the film

:03:40. > :03:49.and television parts he was offered, although that meant stage

:03:50. > :03:51.appearances like this were rare. That's something that no

:03:52. > :03:57.one can advise you on. He played Stephen Ward,

:03:58. > :04:00.society schemer. I could do wonders

:04:01. > :04:02.with you, little baby. Later in his career he made a guest

:04:03. > :04:07.appearance in Doctor Who. Why are you pointing your

:04:08. > :04:17.screwdrivers like that? Few actors were busy, almost 200

:04:18. > :04:18.screen roles along. Few actors were as reliably and engagingly

:04:19. > :04:23.watchable. Donald Trump and Theresa May have

:04:24. > :04:29.vowed to renew the special relationship between

:04:30. > :04:31.their two countries. The US President said "many great

:04:32. > :04:35.days lie ahead for our two peoples." The two leaders also

:04:36. > :04:38.stressed their commitment to Nato The US President is due to speak

:04:39. > :04:43.to Vladimir Putin on the phone today for the first time

:04:44. > :04:45.since he took office. Our correspondent David Willis

:04:46. > :04:56.reports from Washington. It's going to be a fantastic

:04:57. > :05:00.relationship, so test Donald Trump. And as if to press the point he

:05:01. > :05:04.grasps the Prime Minister by the hand. Perhaps the crowning

:05:05. > :05:08.achievement of Theresa May's visit, engineering and apparent U-turn in

:05:09. > :05:13.Donald Trump's approach to Nato, an alliance he once described as

:05:14. > :05:17.obsolete. On defence and security operation we are united in our

:05:18. > :05:20.recognition of Nato as the ball work of our collective defence and today

:05:21. > :05:26.we've reaffirmed our unshakeable commitment to this alliance. I think

:05:27. > :05:30.Mr President Juncker confident you are 100% behind Nato? It is a week

:05:31. > :05:34.since Donald Trump became president, the week that has been fraught with

:05:35. > :05:39.controversy, following a controversial and unorthodox

:05:40. > :05:42.campaign. If president, you said before that torture works. You

:05:43. > :05:46.praised Russia and said he wanted to ban some Muslims from coming to

:05:47. > :05:51.America, you suggested there should be punishment for abortion. For many

:05:52. > :05:55.people in Britain goes sound like alarming beliefs. -- those are

:05:56. > :05:59.sound. What do you say to viewers at home who are worried about some of

:06:00. > :06:04.your views and worried about you becoming leader of the free world?

:06:05. > :06:10.Your choice of question? Because that relation -- there goes that

:06:11. > :06:13.relationship. Theresa May is the first foreign leader to sign her

:06:14. > :06:17.name in the Donald Trump visitor book. Later today he will talk to

:06:18. > :06:22.the French and German leaders by phone, as well as Russia's president

:06:23. > :06:27.Vladimir Putin. There's been talk of lifting sanctions on Russia. Theresa

:06:28. > :06:31.May's advice, proceed with caution. Their styles may be different but

:06:32. > :06:36.their relationship appears to be off to a solid start. Theresa May might

:06:37. > :06:37.be wondering where it will take them.

:06:38. > :06:39.President Trump has also announced stringent controls on immigration

:06:40. > :06:42.which he said would keep what he called "radical Islamic

:06:43. > :06:45.terrorists" out of the United States.

:06:46. > :06:48.Earlier we asked David Willis to give us more detail

:06:49. > :06:59.Donald Trump loud in his inauguration address too, as he put

:07:00. > :07:05.it, eradicate Islamic terrorism from the face of the earth. He has now

:07:06. > :07:09.signed an executive order, banning refugees from the country

:07:10. > :07:12.indefinitely, in the case of those from Syria, temporarily in the case

:07:13. > :07:17.of those from other places. Mr Trump believes terrorists often pose as

:07:18. > :07:23.refugees in order to get access to the country. He wants only people

:07:24. > :07:27.allowed into support America and who love its people. He also announced

:07:28. > :07:35.plans for a temporary ban on issuing of visas to citizens from seven

:07:36. > :07:37.countries, predominately Muslim countries, that have been linked to

:07:38. > :07:44.terrorism. Reaction has been swift. The Senate Minority Leader Chuck

:07:45. > :07:47.Schumer described it as the Scrivener tree and unconstitutional

:07:48. > :07:52.and he said that tears would be running down the cheeks of the

:07:53. > :07:56.statue of liberty. America's grand tradition of welcoming immigrants,

:07:57. > :07:56.he said, had been stomped upon by these measures.

:07:57. > :07:59.Theresa May has travelled from Washington to Turkey for talks

:08:00. > :08:02.The talks are expected to focus on trade and security

:08:03. > :08:05.but she's facing pressure to discuss concerns about alleged human rights

:08:06. > :08:10.Lorry drivers should be banned from using sat navs designed

:08:11. > :08:14.That's what councils are calling for after a spate

:08:15. > :08:17.of incidents caused by heavy goods vehicles using bridges where they're

:08:18. > :08:22.The Local Government Association wants legislation

:08:23. > :08:25.brought in to make it compulsory for all lorry drivers to use

:08:26. > :08:27.sat navs specifically designed for their vehicle.

:08:28. > :08:37.When a large lorry tried to cross this region over the Thames in

:08:38. > :08:41.Buckinghamshire last year, it caused hundreds of thousands of pounds of

:08:42. > :08:47.damage. It was ten times heavier Bamber Bridge's weight limits, but

:08:48. > :08:52.the sat nav didn't know that. Sat navs are leading large vehicles into

:08:53. > :08:57.unsuitable roads across the country. Causing damage and disruption. The

:08:58. > :09:01.Local Government Association, which represents local authorities across

:09:02. > :09:06.England and Wales, says truck drivers using sat navs and phones

:09:07. > :09:10.meant for cars are causing mayhem. They want to lorry drivers to be

:09:11. > :09:14.forced to use the right kind of sat navs for large vehicles. We're

:09:15. > :09:18.singer growing problem. I get more complaints from local residents.

:09:19. > :09:22.They see country lanes blocked by vehicles that should go down them

:09:23. > :09:25.and local high streets where they are blocked by large vehicles and

:09:26. > :09:30.also local economies as it when you see the glory is going over bridges

:09:31. > :09:34.that they can't take the weight for. Most truck drivers to use the right

:09:35. > :09:40.kind of sat navs, but they say they are no substitute for common sense.

:09:41. > :09:45.Sat navs are OK, but you can't rely on them. We've got specialised

:09:46. > :09:51.vehicles and even they go wrong. It is being careful. That's not to say

:09:52. > :09:56.you don't turn around sometimes. The bridge has now reopened after two

:09:57. > :10:00.months of repairs, but locals say they live in fear of a similar

:10:01. > :10:02.accident closing it at any time and that's why the Local Government

:10:03. > :10:06.Association says something needs to be done to stop drivers of larger

:10:07. > :10:08.vehicles using the wrong kind of sat nav, that's leading them into

:10:09. > :10:11.nothing but trouble. Employers are being offered advice

:10:12. > :10:15.about how to reduce the gender pay gap before new regulations come

:10:16. > :10:17.into force in April. Ministers say progress has

:10:18. > :10:20.been made but more needs to be done. Companies with at least 250 workers

:10:21. > :10:24.will be forced to reveal the pay International help has been arriving

:10:25. > :10:30.in Chile to help the country fight So far 11 people have died and 1,500

:10:31. > :10:35.homes have been destroyed. Our correspondent

:10:36. > :10:48.Greg Dawson has more. Beneath the rising plumes of smoke

:10:49. > :10:51.you get a sense of the scale of what is now one of the biggest

:10:52. > :10:58.emergencies in this country's history. Forest incinerated, towns

:10:59. > :11:02.destroyed and lives lost. The fire service is so overwhelmed that

:11:03. > :11:06.residents are protecting their homes with whose pipes and bottles of

:11:07. > :11:11.water. Or than 100 fires are still breaching. They are aided by high

:11:12. > :11:16.winds and dry conditions. With services are stretched, teams of

:11:17. > :11:19.firefighters have arrived from Colombia and Mexico has also provide

:11:20. > :11:24.reinforcements. Earlier in the week the world's list firefighting plane

:11:25. > :11:28.arrived on loan from the US. Now Russia is sending a similar

:11:29. > :11:32.aircraft. The damage has left thousands without a home and many

:11:33. > :11:36.forced into temporary shelters, like the school. Others are sleeping in

:11:37. > :11:42.vehicles, clinging to what they have left. But on Friday came a reminder

:11:43. > :11:46.of those who flossed much more. Funerals were held for a firefighter

:11:47. > :11:51.and policeman, both killed as they tried to tackle the flames. At least

:11:52. > :11:55.ten people are now known to have died, but with so few of these fires

:11:56. > :11:57.under control it's a number that is likely to keep rising in the coming

:11:58. > :12:01.days. A draft letter of abdication

:12:02. > :12:04.from King George III has been The unsent letter,

:12:05. > :12:09.which includes crossings out, redrafts, blotches and scrawls

:12:10. > :12:12.was written during the American War of Independence, and is one

:12:13. > :12:15.of thousands of his private papers It is fascinating seeing those

:12:16. > :12:24.documents. The Royal Archives release has been

:12:25. > :12:27.filmed for a BBC documentary and we will be speaking

:12:28. > :12:35.to the historian Robert Hardman They had a chance to have a look at

:12:36. > :12:39.some of these documents and we will talk to him a little later.

:12:40. > :12:45.I bet they were excited when they got the chance to see them.

:12:46. > :12:56.It is coming up to the Eurovision Song Contest and the UK entry has

:12:57. > :12:57.been decided. Metabolism. # The oceans cross...

:12:58. > :13:06.Former X-Factor contestant Lucie Jones will represent

:13:07. > :13:08.the country in Kiev, in May, with the song

:13:09. > :13:12.It was written by a former Eurovision winner.

:13:13. > :13:17.Lucie was chosen after winning the combined public and jury vote

:13:18. > :13:21.at the end of a live TV show, in which six singers performed.

:13:22. > :13:25.All of the potential acts were former X-Factor contestants.

:13:26. > :13:32.I feel like maybe we need to hear a little bit more.

:13:33. > :13:38.We couldn't make out much of it, but maybe we will hear more of it later.

:13:39. > :13:46.Over to the sport in a few minutes. First, the newspapers. Let's have a

:13:47. > :13:50.look at the front page of the Daily Mirror. They are the first of the

:13:51. > :13:54.papers to reflect the news overnight that we will be reporting on this

:13:55. > :13:59.morning, many tributes being paid to John Hurt, who has died at the age

:14:00. > :14:04.of 77. The announcement made in the early hours of this morning.

:14:05. > :14:08.And if we look at The Daily Mail, a lot of the papers are covering the

:14:09. > :14:13.picture off course of Trump meeting Theresa May and the fact that they

:14:14. > :14:17.held hands. Not for very long, I hasten to add. But that is the

:14:18. > :14:21.picture that all of the papers are... Have grabbed. It was one of

:14:22. > :14:25.the most extraordinary days in the long history of the UK- US

:14:26. > :14:30.relations. Indeed, those images all over the

:14:31. > :14:41.front pages. The Times, this was taken a little earlier in their

:14:42. > :14:47.meeting. This is in the White House. Churchill, the bust is back. Donald

:14:48. > :14:51.Trump said it should have been there all along. Slightly awkward at that

:14:52. > :14:54.point, but by the time they got to the press conference later thing

:14:55. > :14:58.seemed a lot smoother and that was the point at which Theresa May

:14:59. > :15:01.revealed that Donald Trump had been invited by the queen for a state

:15:02. > :15:06.visit later this year and Donald Trump has agreed that he will come.

:15:07. > :15:13.There is so much analysis of the time and the body language. This was

:15:14. > :15:19.the Daily Mirror before they changed the front cover to Sir John Hurt.

:15:20. > :15:24.Yes, and if we go through some of the inside pages, they are having a

:15:25. > :15:29.great deal of fun looking at how the two of them were engaging with one

:15:30. > :15:34.another. You can see quite a lot of the smiles. A lot of mentions of the

:15:35. > :15:38.special relationship and indeed certainly from Theresa May quite a

:15:39. > :15:45.lot of detail and specifics of the things she had been asking. Donald

:15:46. > :15:49.Trump a couple of times taken aback by some of the questions, especially

:15:50. > :15:53.from the British press. We will hear more about that later this morning.

:15:54. > :15:57.Can I show you one story? Anyone who loves their dog, which is pretty

:15:58. > :16:02.much everyone, a leading to basically... Her beagle managed to

:16:03. > :16:06.get into trouble and ended up in some water for up she went in

:16:07. > :16:11.wearing one of those life rings that she found nearby and saved the

:16:12. > :16:21.beagle. A frozen lake. She was really brave!

:16:22. > :16:28.You would say brave, others would say stupid. I wouldn't say that but

:16:29. > :16:32.it's instinct. You hear about the emergency services warning about

:16:33. > :16:35.those circumstances. All is well. They are both OK.

:16:36. > :16:39.Here's Chris with a look at this morning's weather.

:16:40. > :16:45.Good morning. We've had a week where the deep freeze has been with us,

:16:46. > :16:51.temperatures way below normal and we've had a lot of fog problems as

:16:52. > :16:55.well but the thaw is setting in and today will be significantly milder

:16:56. > :16:58.for a good chunk of the country, particularly England and Wales with

:16:59. > :17:02.temperatures on the mild side for some this morning. Yesterday we had

:17:03. > :17:08.a lot of cloud in the Isle of Wight, this was a Weather Watcher picture.

:17:09. > :17:13.We will see a lot of these cloudy skies today, a band of rain working

:17:14. > :17:16.northwards across England, Wales, Scotland and rain for Northern

:17:17. > :17:20.Ireland but it shouldn't last too long here. Through the day the only

:17:21. > :17:24.thing to watch out for is we could see some of the rain falling as snow

:17:25. > :17:28.in the higher ground in Scotland, around 300 metres elevation for the

:17:29. > :17:32.most part but we could have I0 in this part of the world first thing.

:17:33. > :17:38.By the time we get to the afternoon the rain will ease of in eastern

:17:39. > :17:44.England and southern Wales, the sky is brighter, a few showers coming in

:17:45. > :17:47.but look at these temperatures. Nine in London and sixes and sevens in

:17:48. > :17:51.the Midlands and northern England. In Northern Ireland, brightening up

:17:52. > :17:54.nicely, a few showers here but in Scotland and the far north of

:17:55. > :18:00.England the rain will be reluctant to ease and here it will stay cold

:18:01. > :18:04.at around four. Overnight as the rain clears away, with clearing

:18:05. > :18:08.skies it will be cold enough for highs to develop on untreated roads

:18:09. > :18:13.and services. A touch of frost in the countryside. Further south the

:18:14. > :18:17.breeze keeping the frost at bay in Wales and southern counties in

:18:18. > :18:20.particular. Here's the picture on Sunday, the weather starting on a

:18:21. > :18:24.bright note with sunshine in northern areas, the risk of ice

:18:25. > :18:28.first thing. A change through the day, a band of rain working into

:18:29. > :18:31.Northern Ireland, Wales and the south-west and we should hold onto

:18:32. > :18:36.decent sunshine in Scotland and north-east England. Quite cold in

:18:37. > :18:41.the sunshine, forsix, but in the south-west we'll have double figures

:18:42. > :18:45.in Plymouth. -- forsix. The Atlantic finally waking up bringing weather

:18:46. > :18:51.fronts in from the west. These will be slow-moving across the UK but it

:18:52. > :18:52.could be windy later in the week as well. That's the weather. Back to

:18:53. > :18:59.you two. Tell you what, it must be warm in

:19:00. > :19:04.the studio with three buttons open on your! I know! Thanks very much,

:19:05. > :19:06.see you later -- your shirt. This week Mark Kermode

:19:07. > :19:11.and Gavin Esler take us through T2 Trainspotting,

:19:12. > :19:26.Sing and Hacksaw Ridge. Hello, and welcome to

:19:27. > :19:28.the Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this

:19:29. > :19:31.week's cinema releases, as ever, Mark Kermode is with me,

:19:32. > :19:34.and what will you be telling us Trainspotting T2, they meet

:19:35. > :19:51.up after 20 years. Then we have Singh, an animated

:19:52. > :19:53.feature from the people that gave us Minions.

:19:54. > :20:03.And Hacksaw Ridge, Mel Gibson at war.

:20:04. > :20:11.One of those titles you can't quite get a measure of.

:20:12. > :20:13.20 years later, the original characters are reunited.

:20:14. > :20:16.Renton is drawn back into his past for reasons which are not

:20:17. > :20:19.immediately explained and we find the old crew ravaged not so much

:20:20. > :20:21.by heroin as by age and by disappointment

:20:22. > :20:25.and by a degree of emasculation and the way in which their lives

:20:26. > :20:27.have not worked out as they will have expected.

:20:28. > :20:31.Begbie has been in prison and Spud, when Renton first finds him,

:20:32. > :20:34.has basically all but lost the will to live, until hi friend

:20:35. > :21:09.It's not getting it out of your body that's the problem,

:21:10. > :21:17.You think I haven't heard that 100,000 times. You got 12 more steps

:21:18. > :21:18.for me? You have got to channel it,

:21:19. > :21:44.you have got to control it. That clip's interesting because it

:21:45. > :21:46.was funny but it ends on that very melancholic note.

:21:47. > :21:49.As somebody who saw the original 20 years ago, I remember being really

:21:50. > :21:58.But people forget about how shocking it was.

:21:59. > :22:02.What I liked about this was it felt like a film about middle age,

:22:03. > :22:04.about the way in which the world changes, about the way

:22:05. > :22:07.in which the characters' bodies have changed,

:22:08. > :22:10.their characteristics have changed, and as with so many of Danny Boyle's

:22:11. > :22:12.films, it's about friendship, the way the present loops back

:22:13. > :22:26.to the past and has this elegiac longing for the past.

:22:27. > :22:29.But it's also very much a modern movie.

:22:30. > :22:32.My only reservation with this, I thought it worked really well,

:22:33. > :22:34.because I didn't want to be let down.

:22:35. > :22:37.I didn't want them to be revisiting this for cash,

:22:38. > :22:39.for money, because that is an easy thing to do.

:22:40. > :22:45.The screenwriter John Hodge created something new.

:22:46. > :22:46.They have created something artistic.

:22:47. > :22:51.My only question would be, I don't know what it would look

:22:52. > :22:52.like if you were a young viewers seeing it for the first time,

:22:53. > :22:55.not having all that history with Trainspotting,

:22:56. > :22:59.because a lot of what it is doing is playing with the past.

:23:00. > :23:02.But I like that about it - the interplay between the past

:23:03. > :23:09.It's like meeting these characters again and genuinely seeing what time

:23:10. > :23:16.And the screenplay of the original, from the Irvine Welsh

:23:17. > :23:21.book, was funny and quite philosophical.

:23:22. > :23:33.I think Hodge has done a brilliant job.

:23:34. > :23:35.There are an awful lot of laughs in it.

:23:36. > :23:37.It is definitely more melancholy than the original.

:23:38. > :23:40.It doesn't have that vampiric bite that the original had,

:23:41. > :23:42.not the venomous feeling of the original.

:23:43. > :23:45.But what it does have is a sense of ennui,

:23:46. > :23:52.That life is full of in two disappointment but giving voice to

:23:53. > :24:01.those characters. A sense that life is full

:24:02. > :24:03.of disappointments, but somehow finding vibrancy and giving

:24:04. > :24:06.a voice to those characters who would otherwise have been

:24:07. > :24:09.written off as deadbeats again, I am looking forward

:24:10. > :24:12.to your other choice. It's about a group of animals

:24:13. > :24:17.in a singing competition. It owes a lot more to Mickey Rooney,

:24:18. > :24:22.Judy Garland, old school, let's put the show on here rather

:24:23. > :24:25.than a singing competition. It starts out as a singing

:24:26. > :24:28.competition, but moves At the beginning I thought

:24:29. > :24:43.it was sweet-natured fun, but as it went on, it

:24:44. > :24:46.started to have that charm, that old-fashioned throwback charm

:24:47. > :24:49.which I loved from all You can tell it's not just something

:24:50. > :24:52.which is just fluff. Yes, it's bright and shiny with more

:24:53. > :24:57.pop tunes in it than you could wave a stick at, but it has

:24:58. > :25:02.something more important. It has a bit of heart in it

:25:03. > :25:06.and that is down to Garth Jennings. Mel Gibson reinventing

:25:07. > :25:08.himself again? It's the film that rehabilitated Mel

:25:09. > :25:12.Gibson. This is about someone

:25:13. > :25:14.who volunteered as a medic in World War Two and refused

:25:15. > :25:18.to carry a weapon into the unfolding Pacifism says to turn the other

:25:19. > :25:45.cheek, don't it? I don't think this is a question

:25:46. > :25:48.of religion, fellas. I think this is cowardice,

:25:49. > :25:50.plain and simple. I'll tell you what, I'm

:25:51. > :25:58.going to give you a free shot. The peculiar thing about this

:25:59. > :26:18.film is before I saw it, I heard people comparing it

:26:19. > :26:21.to Apocalypto, which I think is Mel Gibson's best

:26:22. > :26:24.work but this is not it. This is two films

:26:25. > :26:26.fighting for supremacy. The first half of

:26:27. > :26:28.it is almost cheesy. Then we move to the war scenes

:26:29. > :26:37.and they are brutal and bloody and if you have seen

:26:38. > :26:39.the Passion of the Christ, you know that Mel Gibson absolutely

:26:40. > :26:42.really does that well. What that means is you get two

:26:43. > :26:49.separate movies going on. Sometimes the battle scenes

:26:50. > :26:52.are absolutely horrific and up there with the Stephen Spielberg

:26:53. > :26:55.stuff from Saving Private Ryan, but sometimes they teeter over

:26:56. > :26:58.into something which approach is parody, almost Tropic Thunder,

:26:59. > :27:01.so you get a weird mix. The movie feels like it is pulling

:27:02. > :27:04.in a number of different ways. I came out of this slightly baffled,

:27:05. > :27:15.because there are things in it that are very cheesy, some things that

:27:16. > :27:17.are really sentimental and saccharine,

:27:18. > :27:21.other things that are brutal and gory I think it has moments that

:27:22. > :27:24.are really striking. It is a true story and I have read

:27:25. > :27:29.a bit about him in the past. Obviously the point of that is he's

:27:30. > :27:34.a very brave man not to fight. Just because the story is great,

:27:35. > :27:37.doesn't mean the film I wondered if the saccharine start

:27:38. > :27:41.at the beginning was Mel Gibson trying to prepare the American

:27:42. > :27:45.public to find someone who was a conscientious

:27:46. > :27:49.objector heroic. I don't know if that's what was

:27:50. > :27:52.going on. I literally spent the first third

:27:53. > :27:54.of the film thinking, when is this going to turn

:27:55. > :27:58.into the great movie that everyone Once we had got into the war

:27:59. > :28:03.sequences as I said, he can do that stuff really well,

:28:04. > :28:07.but he can also push it too far. No, but that is an interesting

:28:08. > :28:11.comparison, because his movies are different to an American

:28:12. > :28:14.audience than to a British audience. What more can we say

:28:15. > :28:22.about La La Land? I think everyone who keeps saying,

:28:23. > :28:24.is it as good as everyone says? Yes it is.

:28:25. > :28:28.People are concerned that it is not as good as we have been saying,

:28:29. > :28:30.like it is overhyped, but I haven't stopped singing it

:28:31. > :28:41.That little phrase he plays on the piano. By the way it is clearly

:28:42. > :28:43.ripped off Mad World. Best film and Best Director

:28:44. > :28:47.for the Baftas and the Oscars? Yes, I think it will

:28:48. > :28:49.absolutely sweep the board. Which is a shame because I loved

:28:50. > :28:52.Moonlight. Finally, Under The Shadow,

:28:53. > :28:55.which I haven't seen yet. You must, because you will

:28:56. > :29:00.absolutely love it. It is a British production set

:29:01. > :29:04.in Tehran, shot in Jordan. It is about a mother

:29:05. > :29:11.and her daughter in an apartment building being shelled

:29:12. > :29:13.in the Iraq/Iran war, but they are being terrorised

:29:14. > :29:16.by a gin spirit. It owes a debt to things

:29:17. > :29:24.like Rosemary's Baby. It is smart, it is intelligent,

:29:25. > :29:30.suprising, influenced by the Babadook and I promise

:29:31. > :29:32.you you will love it. Right, that is my homework

:29:33. > :29:35.for the weekend. You will find more film news

:31:37. > :31:43.relationship with Russia and other countries and if we go after Isis

:31:44. > :31:45.together, which has to be stopped, I will consider that a good thing, not

:31:46. > :31:47.a bad thing. Theresa May has travelled

:31:48. > :31:49.from Washington to Turkey for talks The talks are expected to focus

:31:50. > :31:53.on trade and security but she's facing pressure to discuss

:32:50. > :32:57.stories this morning. Over to the sport.

:32:58. > :33:01.Let's hope the FA Cup fourth round continues in the way it started. One

:33:02. > :33:06.of those moments where we don't know whether to laugh... When you watch

:33:07. > :33:09.it again, it is an own goal, but in the end it didn't matter for derby.

:33:10. > :33:12.Derby went so close to upsetting their neighbours

:33:13. > :33:16.and the Premier League champions Leicester City.

:33:17. > :33:19.Derby of the championship made it hard for themselves

:33:20. > :33:27.as Darren Bent showed why he's a striker.

:33:28. > :33:30.He loves to find the ne, but usually not his own.

:33:31. > :33:33.But after this slice of luck for his opponents

:33:34. > :33:36.Bent made amends, popping up again at the right end, to make

:33:37. > :33:39.Derby then went ahead before half time, and they held

:33:40. > :33:41.on until with 4 minutes to go Leicester equalised

:33:42. > :33:43.through Wes Morgan, to force a replay.

:33:44. > :33:51.What a great atmosphere. Out of them to perform like that. A good game.

:33:52. > :33:53.Another game against them, I look forward to it. It is a great tie for

:33:54. > :33:54.us. Five Premier League sides are facing

:33:55. > :33:58.lower league opposition Including Liverpool at home

:33:59. > :34:04.to Wolves in the 12:30 kick off. Liverpool's only win in any

:34:05. > :34:07.competition in 2017 so far came when they beat Plymouth Argyle

:34:08. > :34:10.in a third round replay. But Wolves have already knocked out

:34:11. > :34:21.premier league Stoke City. I don't like the results but I see

:34:22. > :34:26.that we are still fighting for each point, for each little victory, for

:34:27. > :34:33.each success. That's what we are doing and that's the job we have to

:34:34. > :34:34.do. I am absolutely more than OK and look forward to the next opportunity

:34:35. > :34:37.tomorrow. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger

:34:38. > :34:39.won't be in the dug-out for their FA Cup

:34:40. > :34:41.match at Southampton. He's been banned from

:34:42. > :34:46.the touchline for four matches and fined ?25,000 after verbally

:34:47. > :34:48.abusing and pushing an official during last weekend's

:34:49. > :34:51.game against Burnley. Niall McGinn scored two

:34:52. > :34:53.goals and set up another, as Aberdeen beat Dundee 3-0

:34:54. > :34:56.in the Scottish Premiership. McGinn's volley on the

:34:57. > :34:58.stroke of half time The win moved Abderdeen

:34:59. > :35:01.above Rangers into second place in the table, but they're still 21

:35:02. > :35:09.points behind Celtic. There's a distinctly retro feel

:35:10. > :35:11.to the Australian Open tennis. You have to go back to 2008

:35:12. > :35:14.to find these four players This morning, Serena Williams

:35:30. > :35:30.before eventually winning Nadal hasn't won a major

:35:31. > :35:48.title for three years, We never thought that we have the

:35:49. > :35:55.chance to again be in a final and especially in the first of... I

:35:56. > :36:02.think we both worked very hard to be where we are, so it is great and it

:36:03. > :36:06.is great that again we are in a moment like this and we hope we have

:36:07. > :36:12.a chance to enjoy a moment like this.

:36:13. > :36:14.Saracens have gone top of their pool in Rugby Union's

:36:15. > :36:17.Anglo Welsh Cup, thanks to a 32-17 away to Scarlets.

:36:18. > :36:19.Elsewhere, Sale beat Cardiff 41-3, and Gloucester fought back

:36:20. > :36:23.in the last few minutes to earn a 17-17 draw at Bath.

:36:24. > :36:25.Ben Vellacott's late try and James Hook's conversion rounded

:36:26. > :36:37.More than 5000 runners from 42 countries are bracing themselves for

:36:38. > :36:42.the pain and fear that they will experience in a final ever Tough Guy

:36:43. > :36:48.challenge this weekend. It started 30 years ago and has led to many

:36:49. > :36:52.other extreme obstacle event is being held around the world. There

:36:53. > :36:54.is now even a movie out to tell the story. I've been onto the course

:36:55. > :37:05.this week ahead of final weekend. It is the end of an era, on a farm

:37:06. > :37:13.in the West Midlands, where for decades people from around the world

:37:14. > :37:20.have come together. Why? To share the ultimate pain and fear. Pushing

:37:21. > :37:24.their bodies over eight miles. But after this weekend there will be no

:37:25. > :37:29.more Tough Guy. It has definitely changed my life. It will be a huge

:37:30. > :37:36.part of my life that will cease to be. Hundreds of thousands of people

:37:37. > :37:43.have attempted this Tough Guy challenge over the past 30 years.

:37:44. > :37:51.Oh! But for those doing at this Sunday, it will be the last ever.

:37:52. > :37:57.Behind it all the man known as Mr Mouse. A former soldier who 30 years

:37:58. > :38:03.ago wanted to add more of a challenge to fun runs, and so we

:38:04. > :38:08.invented the obstacles. This is mild compared to the electric shocks

:38:09. > :38:14.before. I decided to put people through something that they'd never

:38:15. > :38:18.seen before. Fear, pain, claustrophobic, all of the terrible

:38:19. > :38:26.things that you fear and leave them here! They come through and they

:38:27. > :38:33.say, thank you! I am so happy. You get this medal put around your neck.

:38:34. > :38:39.There's nothing else like it. I'm terrified, what can I say? As Mr

:38:40. > :38:42.Mouse now brings the curtain down on this world-famous event, he is the

:38:43. > :38:46.subject of a movie that looks at why people of today willingly pay to

:38:47. > :38:53.experience such pain and suffering. If you can come back with a Flight

:38:54. > :39:02.Club-esque scar and a story about what you did, it sounds awesome. Mr

:39:03. > :39:07.Mouse's cultural impact is massive. All of these things have exploded

:39:08. > :39:11.because of Tough Guy. Not many people know about it and I thought

:39:12. > :39:17.it was a compelling story. To mark the final Tough Guy, competitors

:39:18. > :39:22.will be joined by the star of the War Horse film. He wants them to

:39:23. > :39:26.remember the suffering that was real in the trenches 100 years ago.

:39:27. > :39:28.Thanks to what started here, obstacle racing is now one of the

:39:29. > :39:40.fastest growing sports in the world. There are other events that will

:39:41. > :39:44.test people to the extreme, no more Tough Guy after this weekend.

:39:45. > :39:47.IU OK? A bit cold! We all sat around the

:39:48. > :39:54.fire. Thank you. He was 77 and had recently

:39:55. > :40:06.been ill with cancer. Steven Gaydos is a screenwriter

:40:07. > :40:15.and executive editor of Variety Thank you very much for joining us.

:40:16. > :40:19.If you look at it, Sir John Hurt was in over 200 films. An incredible

:40:20. > :40:23.acting career and a real loss to the acting world, isn't he? Incalculable

:40:24. > :40:31.loss because he was one of a kind. He was the bona fides great actor,

:40:32. > :40:37.but he was also a character. He had a style and a persona that was

:40:38. > :40:42.clearly unique. You met him. Tell us a bit about what he was like. Well,

:40:43. > :40:48.if you were blessed to have an evening with a great artist I

:40:49. > :40:55.admired so much, he was a quiet man and very self-effacing. You know,

:40:56. > :41:00.what I would call from my American perspective they find Englishman. He

:41:01. > :41:07.had the qualities of intellect and grace and humour. You know, he was

:41:08. > :41:11.quite open and talked about the fact that he was kind of the young fellow

:41:12. > :41:16.in the game of British actors that came up in the 60s who almost all of

:41:17. > :41:25.them were gone. Names like Peter O'Toole, Burton, so many more.

:41:26. > :41:29.Richard Attenborough, a senior member of the game, and many more.

:41:30. > :41:33.So he took his place in that arena. If you look early in his career, it

:41:34. > :41:39.is worth noting that very early on he was working for directors like

:41:40. > :41:47.John Houston, so the world clearly was noting that there was a new face

:41:48. > :41:51.in a circle that was important. Many people paying their tributes to Sir

:41:52. > :41:55.John Hurt today. A lot of people reflecting on the variety of the

:41:56. > :41:59.work that he was involved in. We are just going to play a clip and share

:42:00. > :42:03.with everyone. This is an interview with did with Sigourney Weaver

:42:04. > :42:10.sometime ago, two years ago, and she was reminiscing about that

:42:11. > :42:13.extraordinary scene in the film Alien that many people would

:42:14. > :42:16.remember, and what it was like when a shot that scene.

:42:17. > :42:24.It was in the script and when we got down to the set everyone was wearing

:42:25. > :42:30.ponchos, which made us think... Something is going to happen that is

:42:31. > :42:33.not usual. But I don't think anything could have prepared us

:42:34. > :42:38.first of all for John's performance. I mean, such brilliant acting. I

:42:39. > :42:42.didn't realise he was acting. You thought something had gone wrong? I

:42:43. > :42:47.didn't even think. All I thought was, John is dying! And then the

:42:48. > :42:51.next take on a and this is with a couple of guys under the table. No

:42:52. > :42:56.CGI, though anything, no green screen, with a couple of little

:42:57. > :43:03.tubes and bulbs and they made this little... Honestly, they did a quick

:43:04. > :43:09.change, then this thing came out of John Hurt's fake chest, sat on the

:43:10. > :43:15.table, looked around and went SQUEAKS. And then ran off the table,

:43:16. > :43:19.all in one shot. And there is a master where all of us are like...

:43:20. > :43:25.And we're not acting, because we just went... What just happened? It

:43:26. > :43:29.happened so seamlessly that it was... It seemed so real.

:43:30. > :43:38.That scene has been voted by many people as one of their favourite

:43:39. > :43:42.scenes of all time in the film. Oh, you know, that movie - I still

:43:43. > :43:46.vividly remember the first screening in my hometown and the audience

:43:47. > :43:53.just... You could hear a pin drop. Horror... There are films that moved

:43:54. > :44:01.the whole genre forward that changed the world. Psycho was one of them in

:44:02. > :44:06.the 50s, and Ridley Scott's Alien was another. He was working until

:44:52. > :44:59.Mel Brooks, he was held in great esteem in Hollywood. -- among

:45:00. > :45:04.others. When you look at people like Stephen Spielberg, and many others,

:45:12. > :45:15.great filmmakers said, get me John Hurt. That's another testament to

:45:16. > :45:18.his quality. Thank you for your time this morning.

:45:19. > :45:20.Steven Gaydos is a screenwriter and executive editor of Variety

:45:21. > :45:32.Here's Chris with a look at this morning's weather.

:45:33. > :45:40.Good morning. We're looking at a change in our weather, compared to

:45:41. > :45:46.last week when we were in the deep freeze, nasty fog around. Things

:45:47. > :45:50.turning milder, the macro thaw setting in and with the milder

:45:51. > :45:54.weather comes the rain and that is getting going in England, Wales and

:45:55. > :45:59.Northern Ireland and pushing into Scotland. In Scotland, still quite

:46:00. > :46:03.cold so some of that rain falling as snow in the higher hills mostly

:46:04. > :46:07.above 300 metres. The risk of icy stretches on untreated roads first

:46:08. > :46:12.thing this morning here. Through the afternoon the rain will be reluctant

:46:13. > :46:15.to clear from the north but further south the skies will brighten. A

:46:16. > :46:18.mixture of sunshine and showers moving into southern Wales and

:46:19. > :46:21.southern counties of England with a brisk south-westerly wind bringing

:46:22. > :46:26.milder air, temperatures in London reaching a high of nine. The rain

:46:27. > :46:29.reluctant to clear from northern England but Northern Ireland

:46:30. > :46:33.brightening up quickly, a few blustery showers in the afternoon

:46:34. > :46:37.from the west. In Scotland we have the rain with us into the afternoon,

:46:38. > :46:42.staying quite cold, around four degrees. As the rain clears through

:46:43. > :46:46.overnight the skies complete increasingly clear, a touch of frost

:46:47. > :46:51.for northern part, the risk of icy stretches on an treating services.

:46:52. > :46:59.In the south the wind keeping the frost out they -- on untreated

:47:00. > :47:02.surfaces. -- at bay. This area of rain bringing wet weather through

:47:03. > :47:05.the morning reaching Northern Ireland eventually and south-west

:47:06. > :47:10.England before going further north and east. The best of the sunshine

:47:11. > :47:14.into the afternoon for Scotland and north-east England but in the

:47:15. > :47:18.sunshine still quite chilly, forsix. Milder in the south-west with the

:47:19. > :47:23.cloud and rain, up to ten in Plymouth. For the week ahead, and

:47:24. > :47:27.unsettled week, bands of rain will become quite slow moving across the

:47:28. > :47:31.UK and later in the week some bigger areas of low pressure will spread

:47:32. > :47:35.windy weather our weight. Next week is looking unsettled, a change in

:47:36. > :47:41.the weather compared to recent weeks -- Alleway. Very windy later in the

:47:42. > :47:43.week but it will also be mild -- our way. Not too much frost. That's the

:47:44. > :47:47.latest weather. To you two. Unsettled but getting warmer. --

:47:48. > :47:55.back to you two. cooking We're back with

:47:56. > :47:57.the headlines at 8am. First, let's get all the latest

:47:58. > :48:01.technology news with Spencer Kelly We've long fantasised

:48:02. > :48:19.about the possibility But it was only in 1995

:48:20. > :48:26.that we actually found the first Of course they are,

:48:27. > :48:40.they're relatively tiny. And so far they've mainly been

:48:41. > :48:42.detected indirectly, either by the incredibly slight

:48:43. > :48:45.dimming of a star's light as the planet moves in front of it,

:48:46. > :48:49.or by the wobble of the star In the last 20 years we've detected

:48:50. > :48:53.about 2000 exoplanets, but we haven't actually seen

:48:54. > :48:55.many at all. Well, the planets are very,

:48:56. > :49:03.very faint compared to a star The kind planets where we might find

:49:04. > :49:12.life, an earthlike planet orbiting a star, would be 10 billion times

:49:13. > :49:14.fainter than a star. But if you can see the planets,

:49:15. > :49:18.you can start to look for evidence What you need is something to block

:49:19. > :49:24.out the light of a star. Due to go into space

:49:25. > :49:36.in the middle of the next decade, it is a crazy-sounding thing that

:49:37. > :49:40.can be flown in between a space telescope and the star to precisely

:49:41. > :49:44.block out the star's light It'll be a few tens of metres

:49:45. > :49:55.in diameter, and in order to block out just the light from that distant

:49:56. > :50:01.star, it'll need to be about 40,000 kilometres

:50:02. > :50:04.away from the telescope. And this is not even

:50:05. > :50:07.the maddest part of the scheme. The star shade won't

:50:08. > :50:12.fit in a rocket. And that's why a big part

:50:13. > :50:18.of the work being done here at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory,

:50:19. > :50:23.in Pasadena, and the beautiful solution they've come up with,

:50:24. > :50:26.is all about fitting the thing into a tight space and then

:50:27. > :50:29.unfurling it once in space. And the inspiration

:50:30. > :50:31.comes from origami. At the end you can see how large

:50:32. > :50:54.an area you can fill with such But this is only the half of it

:50:55. > :51:00.because you have petals Yes, exactly.

:51:01. > :51:03.Oh, my goodness. This cardboard model is the latest

:51:04. > :51:03.test to make sure the shade can unfurl perfectly

:51:04. > :51:09.when it's all alone. The flower shape blocks out

:51:10. > :51:16.the light better than a circle, and those outer petals need to be

:51:17. > :51:19.made to an accuracy This sounds like we want

:51:20. > :51:30.to spot some planets, We're going to put a shade in space

:51:31. > :51:35.and we're going to fire Yeah, but what's really cool

:51:36. > :51:43.about that if there is this insane concept of how you're

:51:44. > :51:46.going to fly this massive shade so far away, 40,000

:51:47. > :51:49.kilometres away from the telescope, but once you start breaking it down

:51:50. > :51:51.into little problems, you start testing and build a petal,

:51:52. > :51:54.you build the truss, you build the shield,

:51:55. > :52:09.you realise piece by piece what engineering needs to go

:52:10. > :52:12.in to that problem to solve it. So we just break it down into little

:52:13. > :52:16.problems that we can solve Yeah, and isn't that

:52:17. > :52:19.a great motto for life? Take an impossible problem and break

:52:20. > :52:23.it down into more possible chunks. I love the fact that at JPL you can

:52:24. > :52:27.just wander into a random room and it is called something like

:52:28. > :52:30.the Extreme Terrain Mobility lab. They're making robots to cope

:52:31. > :52:33.with extreme terrain. This is Axel, which is a robot

:52:34. > :52:37.with a pair of wheels that can be These are the prototype

:52:38. > :52:42.is for the Mars rovers Of course the point about robots

:52:43. > :52:47.is they can do things that humans might want to do but in places that

:52:48. > :52:50.humans can't go. All of these have fairly familiar

:52:51. > :52:52.designs, wheels here, But Kate Russell has found one

:52:53. > :52:56.that looks like nothing In 2012 the world watched

:52:57. > :53:02.with baited breath as Nasa deployed a rover on the surface of Mars

:53:03. > :53:09.using a sky crane. This kind of science

:53:10. > :53:11.is incredibly expensive. The rover weighed 900 kilograms,

:53:12. > :53:15.as much of a full grown giraffe. But the equipment required to land

:53:16. > :53:21.it gently had to be able to take It would have been much cheaper

:53:22. > :53:32.if Curiosity was lightweight, came flat-packed and was sturdy

:53:33. > :53:35.enough just to be dropped Meet Super Ball, a tensgrity robot

:53:36. > :53:43.in development to Nasa Ames. This lightweight sphere-like matrix

:53:44. > :53:48.can be packed down flat, taking up minimal space in a rocket

:53:49. > :53:52.and vastly reducing launch costs. Because of the unique structure

:53:53. > :53:55.of this robot and the fact that it can deform and reform itself

:53:56. > :53:58.and take massive impacts, eventually Nasa will be able

:53:59. > :54:01.to literally throw it at the surface of a planet and its scientific

:54:02. > :54:04.payload in the middle Once deployed, Super Ball can handle

:54:05. > :54:19.much rougher terrains then a rover, rolling right over obstacles

:54:20. > :54:25.and up and down hills. Tendon wires connecting the struts

:54:26. > :54:29.spool in and out to create momentum, in much the same way

:54:30. > :54:31.as flexing your muscles If it bumps into anything solid,

:54:32. > :54:35.it'll just bounce back. It should even be able to survive

:54:36. > :54:38.falling off a cliff. The next step for Super Ball

:54:39. > :54:41.is to redesign the robot such that it can actually survive

:54:42. > :54:44.at least a one-storey drop. You can expect to see a system

:54:45. > :54:48.like this on an actual Nasa mission Over at JPL, they are

:54:49. > :54:59.working on limbed robots. It's research spawned from the DARPA

:55:00. > :55:03.Robotics Challenge where teams competed to create highly mobile

:55:04. > :55:06.and dextrous robots that can move, explore and build things

:55:07. > :55:14.without human intervention. The plan for King Louis is to be

:55:15. > :55:18.sent into space to build stuff with visual codes a bit

:55:19. > :55:21.like QR codes to guide it. We know what we are putting

:55:22. > :55:31.together so we put signposts onto all the bits and pieces

:55:32. > :55:34.of the structure we are putting together, that tell

:55:35. > :55:36.the robot a few things. Most importantly, it tells

:55:37. > :55:39.the robot where those things it is manipulating are in space,

:55:40. > :55:41.literally and figuratively, The codes will also include

:55:42. > :55:46.construction information like which bits go together and how

:55:47. > :55:50.much torque to apply to a bolt. This will allow robots to work

:55:51. > :55:56.autonomously in teams, building space stations or planetary

:55:57. > :55:57.habitats faster and more economically than

:55:58. > :55:59.previously possible. But Nasa hasn't completely given up

:56:00. > :56:07.on our four-wheeled space helpers. Here we've tried to develop

:56:08. > :56:09.new kinds of robots This robot, for example,

:56:10. > :56:18.is called K-Rex. It's one of our main research robots

:56:19. > :56:22.that we develop and test here This is a large play area

:56:23. > :56:26.for robots, a proving ground that we use to really try to develop

:56:27. > :56:29.things like navigation So, the biggest question

:56:30. > :56:34.perhaps of the day for me, Let's have you do that.

:56:35. > :56:38.Yes! Now lots of you think we Click

:56:39. > :56:42.reporters have the best jobs in the world, but after spending

:56:43. > :56:45.a day at the roverscape testing ground, I think there is another

:56:46. > :56:54.contender for that title. Hello and welcome

:56:55. > :57:12.to the Week in Tech. I've had some really engaging

:57:13. > :57:14.virtual reality experiences. One of them simply set in an office,

:57:15. > :57:18.but it seems if you are entering at VR world, you might as well go

:57:19. > :57:21.somewhere really That's where Home: A VR

:57:22. > :57:24.Spacewalk takes you. Inspired by Nasa's training

:57:25. > :57:26.programme, it aims to bring After getting used to your

:57:27. > :57:39.new surroundings, you undertake Whilst enjoying views of Earth

:57:40. > :57:42.from afar, a friendly hand from a fellow astronaut helps to get

:57:43. > :57:45.you on your way. I feel a strange sense of safety

:57:46. > :57:50.there is another astronaut here. The BBC commissioned

:57:51. > :57:52.the experience last year, as its first steps into the world

:57:53. > :57:56.of virtual reality content. We've taken all the storytelling

:57:57. > :57:59.power of the BBC and applied that behind it, so there's a great

:58:00. > :58:03.script, a great narrative and then we've looked at all the cutting edge

:58:04. > :58:06.explorations people are doing around VR, in terms of bio-monitoring,

:58:07. > :58:10.haptic feedback etc etc and trying to bring that into it as a massive

:58:11. > :58:15.piece of learning really. My preview here on the HTC Vive saw

:58:16. > :58:22.it set up with a chair providing haptic feedback and a heart rate

:58:23. > :58:24.monitor which resulted in my being sent back to base

:58:25. > :58:27.if readings went too high. But apparently I'm

:58:28. > :58:33.very calm in space. In March it will be released

:58:34. > :58:37.for Vive on Steam as well as Oculus. Oh, goodness!

:58:38. > :58:47.I feel most disorientated! Wow, the depth of it

:58:48. > :58:50.I think was the thing You really got a sense

:58:51. > :59:06.of being up high, seeing things It took a while to get grips

:59:07. > :59:11.with what I was meant to be doing, but just the fact that I was moving

:59:12. > :59:14.around within space Whilst it wasn't possible to create

:59:15. > :59:17.a sense of weightlessness, the pictures were amazing,

:59:18. > :59:20.but obviously, I can't vouch for how This is Breakfast,

:03:15. > :03:17.of the individual as opposed to the cruelty

:03:18. > :03:19.of the crowd. He earned an Oscar nomination

:03:20. > :03:21.for Midnight Express in which he played a heroin addict

:07:31. > :07:39.vote in defiance of triggering Article 50. -- whips. Interesting is

:07:40. > :07:42.that the whip's job is to enforce party discipline. Jeremy Corbyn

:07:43. > :07:46.struck a conciliatory tone when speaking to Joe Stevens, saying he

:07:47. > :07:52.understood the majority of Labour MPs from pro-Remain constituencies

:07:53. > :07:57.would be understandably torn, but he is a difficult position as he needs

:07:58. > :08:01.strike an obvious role for Labour in what its position should be on

:08:02. > :08:05.Brexit. He himself we understand is not that bothered about staying in

:08:06. > :08:11.EU himself. And clearly the party also have to Mac by-elections in the

:08:12. > :08:16.coming weeks. -- two. Both of those constituencies are very pro-Leave

:08:17. > :08:20.areas. Is a difficult decisions on Jeremy Corbyn about how hard she

:08:21. > :08:22.could come down on those MPs who may justify him.

:08:23. > :08:27.And we will be getting reaction from Labour's shadow international

:08:28. > :08:29.trade secretary Barry Gardiner in about 15 minutes time.

:08:30. > :08:32.International help has been arriving in Chile to help the country fight

:08:33. > :08:37.So far, 11 people have died and 1,500 homes have been destroyed.

:08:38. > :08:41.Our correspondent Greg Dawson has more.

:08:42. > :08:44.Beneath the rising plumes of smoke you get a sense of the scale

:08:45. > :08:48.of what is now one of the biggest emergencies in this country's

:08:49. > :08:57.Forests incinerated, towns destroyed and lives lost.

:08:58. > :09:00.The fire service is so overwhelmed that residents elect protecting

:09:01. > :09:11.their homes with hose pipes and bottles of water.

:09:12. > :09:14.More than 100 fires are still raging, aided by high winds

:09:15. > :09:20.With services overstretched, teams of firefighters have arrived

:09:21. > :09:24.from Colombia and Mexico has also provide reinforcements.

:09:25. > :09:26.Earlier in the week the world's largest firefighting plane

:09:27. > :09:30.Now Russia is sending a similar aircraft.

:09:31. > :09:32.The damage has left thousands without a home and many

:09:33. > :09:34.forced into temporary shelters, like the school.

:09:35. > :09:37.Others are sleeping in vehicles, clinging to what they have

:09:38. > :09:40.But on Friday came a reminder of those who've lost much more.

:09:41. > :09:43.Funerals were held for a firefighter and policeman, both killed

:09:44. > :09:48.At least ten people are now known to have died,

:09:49. > :09:51.but with so few of these fires under control it's a number

:09:52. > :10:00.that is likely to keep rising in the coming days.

:10:01. > :10:07.Just one other story. The UK's 2017 Eurovision entry has been decided.

:10:08. > :10:18.Former X-Factor contestant Lucie Jones will represent

:10:19. > :10:21.the country in Kiev, in May, with the song

:10:22. > :10:27.It was written by a former Eurovision winner.

:10:28. > :10:32.Lucie was chosen after winning the combined public and jury vote

:10:33. > :10:36.at the end of a live TV show, in which six singers performed.

:10:37. > :10:40.All of the potential acts were former X-Factor contestants.

:10:41. > :10:49.We will see how she gets on. Good luck to her.

:10:50. > :10:50.Tradition has not been good for our contestants, but we wish her well

:10:51. > :10:59.regardless. It is just coming up to 7:11am.

:11:00. > :11:04.Theresa May's visit was seen as something of a diplomatic coup. But

:11:05. > :11:09.with the press conference out of the way, will not attend be pleased with

:11:10. > :11:14.the outcome of the trip? Here is a recap of some of the key moments.

:11:15. > :11:26.Attention! This is the original, folks. The original in many ways. It

:11:27. > :11:34.is a great honour to have Winston Churchill back. Today the United

:11:35. > :11:37.States reviews our deep wand with Britain, military, financial,

:11:38. > :11:43.cultural, and political. -- deep bond. We pledge our lasting support

:11:44. > :11:50.to this most special relationship. On defence and security operation we

:11:51. > :11:53.are united in our recognition of Nato as the bullwork of our

:11:54. > :11:56.collective defence and today we reaffirmed our unshakeable

:11:57. > :11:59.commitment to this alliance. I think Brexit will be a wonderful thing for

:12:00. > :12:03.your country. I have been listening to the president and he has been

:12:04. > :12:07.listening to me. That's the point of having a conversation and dialogue

:12:08. > :12:11.will stop I can often tell how I will get on with someone early and I

:12:12. > :12:17.believe we will have a fantastic relation ship. -- relationship.

:12:18. > :12:20.The Labour Peer and former foreign policy advisor to Gordon Brown,

:12:21. > :12:23.Lord Wood, is in our London newsroom for us.

:12:24. > :12:28.Overall, how do you think the meeting went? Do you think Number 10

:12:29. > :12:32.will be happy? I think they will be pretty happy. It was difficult for

:12:33. > :12:36.Theresa May the course she had to walk a fine line. She had to show

:12:37. > :12:40.Britain was a close friend of the US, but she didn't necessarily want

:12:41. > :12:43.to show that she was going to be the best friend of Donald Trump because

:12:44. > :12:47.he is a controversial figure, coming out with decisions that don't go

:12:48. > :12:50.down well in her party, let alone the rest of the country. I thought

:12:51. > :12:54.the balance was struck pretty well, except the last picture of them

:12:55. > :12:59.holding hands and walking down the steps. I think that was pretty -- a

:13:00. > :13:03.little more on the Chinese side and something they might regret down the

:13:04. > :13:08.line. -- chummy. Do you think that might ruffle feathers? I think the

:13:09. > :13:12.next time Donald Trump says something controversial, he has

:13:13. > :13:16.announcements today on banning refugees from Muslim countries

:13:17. > :13:19.coming in, that will cause controversy here. I think that

:13:20. > :13:33.picture will get relayed a little too often for Theresa May's team's

:13:34. > :13:36.liking. I think apart from that of security and trade issues, the press

:13:37. > :13:39.conference went pretty well. I think her speech went down reasonably

:13:40. > :13:44.well, although some people disagree with the content of it. Until that

:13:45. > :13:49.last picture writing she was walking that line reasonably well. Looking

:13:50. > :13:53.at some of the specifics, especially one of the big wines was about Nato

:13:54. > :13:58.and Theresa May saying that Trump had confirmed he was 100% behind

:13:59. > :14:03.Nato. How important are you think that was? It was important not just

:14:04. > :14:07.for Theresa May to get Donald Trump to commit to Nato, and she quoted

:14:08. > :14:11.him in the press conference something he said in a meeting, I

:14:12. > :14:15.think it was important to be the leader to be the one who got Donald

:14:16. > :14:18.Trump to come back from the more maverick position he was sharing

:14:19. > :14:23.before. She showed she could bring the US back into line and suddenly

:14:24. > :14:28.behind Nato, citing they will be pleased about -- with that. On trade

:14:29. > :14:32.she pushed far that there will be a trade deal for the US and that's

:14:33. > :14:38.important with Brexit. So those core issues I think she got what she

:14:39. > :14:41.wanted. You yourself were working with Gordon Brown when he met

:14:42. > :14:47.president will shut President Obama. How much preparation goes into these

:14:48. > :14:55.meetings? How much goes on behind the scenes? The huge amount. There

:14:56. > :14:59.have been a couple of weeks of negotiation and discussion. The

:15:00. > :15:03.United States administration has dozens of people, the British

:15:04. > :15:06.government has fewer people. The British ambassador will be important

:15:07. > :15:10.in working things out, but the choreography is important, where you

:15:11. > :15:15.stand for that picture. The picture of Theresa May and Donald Trump,

:15:16. > :15:20.with the Churchill bust, that will be the key big debate wanted. There

:15:21. > :15:24.are many negotiations about the press conference as they have, who

:15:25. > :15:27.will ask the questions and these things require a huge amount of

:15:28. > :15:31.effort and patience. But also you have to lobby hard on the British

:15:32. > :15:35.side to get what you want. When you are actually there, is there ever a

:15:36. > :15:40.moment where they get to be by themselves? There is. You walk into

:15:41. > :15:44.the West Wing and everybody stands up, you get show into a room and

:15:45. > :15:51.then the Prime Minister and president, with three or for AIDS

:15:52. > :15:55.have a meeting and then they have some time on the road. This being

:15:56. > :16:01.their first meeting would have been important. -- three or four aides.

:16:02. > :16:06.Then there was a lunch, with President Obama in our case, in the

:16:07. > :16:10.east Wing. That's a much more private occasion where everybody

:16:11. > :16:14.else is shut out. There is time between the two of them and I think

:16:15. > :16:18.the chemistry thing is over rated. I don't think the chemistry between

:16:19. > :16:23.the two is much less important than the solid relationship between the

:16:24. > :16:28.governments and teams. But in crises and chemistry can make a difference,

:16:29. > :16:29.so it is important to get a relationship established.

:16:30. > :16:32.Interesting. Thank you. Here's Chris with a look

:16:33. > :16:43.at this morning's weather. hello to both of you and to you at

:16:44. > :16:47.home. It was a week that saw some really nasty frost around, some

:16:48. > :16:51.dense fog causing problems at the airport but the thaw is really

:16:52. > :16:55.setting in today. Not ask for most parts but we have some wet weather

:16:56. > :17:02.on our hands today. A band of rain pushing in and we are seeing snow in

:17:03. > :17:12.the cold air in the high ground of Scotland. There is the scope for

:17:13. > :17:16.some icy stretches first thing. Through the rest of the day the rain

:17:17. > :17:19.will be reluctant to clear from the north and east but in southern Wales

:17:20. > :17:23.and southern counties we should see an improvement with the weather, as

:17:24. > :17:26.we'll see some bright skies and a scattering of showers this

:17:27. > :17:32.afternoon. Quite breezy, nine in London this afternoon. Relatively

:17:33. > :17:36.mild compared to the week just gone. In Northern Ireland, brightening up

:17:37. > :17:40.quite nicely in the afternoon, a few showers in western counties. Rain

:17:41. > :17:44.reluctant to clear away in Scotland and it will remain quite cold,

:17:45. > :17:48.around four. Overnight there's the risk of icy stretches in parts of

:17:49. > :17:53.the north of the UK as temperatures fall awake. Pockets of frost

:17:54. > :17:56.developing in the countryside but towards the south-west we should see

:17:57. > :17:59.temperatures lifting to the end of the night as a weather system

:18:00. > :18:04.approaches and that will bring cloud and rain the rest of the night. A

:18:05. > :18:07.damp start for Wales and south-west England, a sunny start for many

:18:08. > :18:10.northern and eastern areas of England, Northern Ireland and

:18:11. > :18:14.Scotland but we will see this area of rain go north and east. Turning

:18:15. > :18:17.wet in Northern Ireland, the rain getting into northern England,

:18:18. > :18:20.across the Midlands to East Anglia and the south-east towards the of

:18:21. > :18:25.the date. The best of the sunshine in Scotland where it will be still

:18:26. > :18:29.quite chilly, and looking at the week ahead the Atlantic finally

:18:30. > :18:33.wakes up and we will see a number of weather systems coming our way next

:18:34. > :18:38.week. On the weather menu things will turn unsettled with spells of

:18:39. > :18:44.rain for many of the days. It will be quite windy, especially later in

:18:45. > :18:51.the week with severe gales but also it is expected to be mild with

:18:52. > :18:52.temperatures into the double figures especially in the south-west. That's

:18:53. > :18:55.the weather. Back to you two. Thanks, Chris. We will see you in a

:18:56. > :18:59.bit. It's seven months since the UK voted

:19:00. > :19:02.to leave the European Union but the Labour Party appears

:19:03. > :19:05.to still be conflicted over how Jeremy Corbyn is trying to force

:19:06. > :19:09.MPs to back the bill triggering the formal

:19:10. > :19:11.process to leave the EU. But a growing number have said

:19:12. > :19:14.they intend to rebel. Yesterday a member of his

:19:15. > :19:16.shadow cabinet resigned Labour's shadow international trade

:19:17. > :19:26.secretary Barry Gardiner joins us Thank you very much for your time

:19:27. > :19:31.this morning. This is turning into a real headache for Jeremy Corbyn?

:19:32. > :19:36.Brexit I think is a headache. Half the country wants to remain, half

:19:37. > :19:42.the country wants to leave. I myself voted to remain, my constituency

:19:43. > :19:45.voted to remain and yet I think as politicians in a democracy you have

:19:46. > :19:50.to accept that the democratic will of the people was that we will

:19:51. > :19:54.leave. I think that is what we in the shadow cabinet have tried to put

:19:55. > :20:00.forward this week to the party and say, look, we have to respect that,

:20:01. > :20:05.that means we have to vote on the second reading of this bill to

:20:06. > :20:08.trigger Article 50. But your MPs to respect what Mr Corbyn has said

:20:09. > :20:12.because they're not following their orders. This is an instruction,

:20:13. > :20:17.isn't it? Let's be clear about this, in the way politics works, it's

:20:18. > :20:22.worth being clear about this, you're not asking or questing, Jeremy

:20:23. > :20:27.Corbyn is telling his MPs how they should vote -- requesting. What a

:20:28. > :20:31.number are saying is no, we don't respect you, we respect the views of

:20:32. > :20:36.our constituents more. No, look, it's not about respecting Jeremy

:20:37. > :20:41.Corbyn. It was the shadow cabinet that arrived at the decision about

:20:42. > :20:48.how we would vote on Article 50. But let's be clear, there are two very

:20:49. > :20:51.tough competing principles here. One is the respect for democracy, the

:20:52. > :20:57.fact that the whole of the country decided in that referendum that we

:20:58. > :21:04.should actually leave the European Union. And the other is that in each

:21:05. > :21:07.constituency a Member of Parliament feels a deep loyalty to their

:21:08. > :21:12.constituents to represent their constituents. This is not easy

:21:13. > :21:17.stuff. This is not about," Do I want to do what the leader's telling me?"

:21:18. > :21:21.This is actually members of Parliament grappling with a very

:21:22. > :21:26.complex issue which the country itself is divided on. Sorry to

:21:27. > :21:32.interrupt, help us with your personal decision then. Just to be

:21:33. > :21:38.clear to people, your an MP but the area you represent voted 60/40 in

:21:39. > :21:43.favour of Remain, I think that's correct? 58/42 actually. You have

:21:44. > :21:47.chosen to ignore what they want and follow the party line? Know I

:21:48. > :21:54.haven't. It's not about ignoring anybody. What it's about saying is,

:21:55. > :22:00.look, it's very easy if you're on the fringes of British politics, if

:22:01. > :22:04.you're a LibDem saying," Oh, well, we're just going to focus on the 48%

:22:05. > :22:08.of the country who want to remain in the European Union and therefore

:22:09. > :22:13.come what may that's what we're going to do". Or if you're on the

:22:14. > :22:17.other side, you get all the government's position, we're going

:22:18. > :22:22.to focus on immigration as the issue and side with the 52% and let your

:22:23. > :22:27.immigration policy drive your economic policy. It's very easy to

:22:28. > :22:31.adopt those very winged as Asians. The Labour Party actually has many

:22:32. > :22:36.people in it who are in seats where people actually voted to leave the

:22:37. > :22:40.European Union when they themselves were campaigning to remain. --

:22:41. > :22:45.positions. There are others in the opposite situation. We are a much

:22:46. > :22:49.more differentiated party and in that sense we actually represent the

:22:50. > :22:53.views of the British people much more because actually we contain

:22:54. > :22:57.both the Remainers and the levers in almost equal numbers. That's why

:22:58. > :23:03.we're trying to bring all of the country together and say, look, we

:23:04. > :23:07.accept that the Democratic position from the referendum voted to leave

:23:08. > :23:11.and therefore we will respect that. Can I just ask you... We will then

:23:12. > :23:15.try and shake that through the amendments we're tabling so that we

:23:16. > :23:21.ensure the eventual decision about what the shape of leaving looks like

:23:22. > :23:25.after those negotiations, that we have a meaningful vote about that in

:23:26. > :23:30.parliament. -- shape that. Can I just be clear on one thing, sorry,

:23:31. > :23:34.in relation to the vote and those that choose to go against the wishes

:23:35. > :23:39.of Jeremy Corbyn and the shadow cabinet, should they face any kind

:23:40. > :23:44.of sanction? It is such an odd word to use but they are free to do it?

:23:45. > :23:47.Will there be a consequence for anyone that goes against the wishes

:23:48. > :23:52.of the shadow cabinet? The discipline within the party is a

:23:53. > :23:57.matter for the Chief Whip. What do you think?

:23:58. > :24:02.My own view is actually people like Joe, people like Tulip has made

:24:03. > :24:06.incredibly difficult decisions, principled decisions, and we must

:24:07. > :24:10.respect the fact that they've done that. They have imposed the sanction

:24:11. > :24:15.on themselves by resigning their positions from the front bench and

:24:16. > :24:20.from the shadow cabinet. That's something that no end he would do

:24:21. > :24:25.lightly. I think we have to respect the fact that members of Parliament

:24:26. > :24:29.in all different constituencies have to struggle with their conscience on

:24:30. > :24:36.this issue and that is about a competing principle of democracy and

:24:37. > :24:39.the principle of representing your constituents. Different MPs will

:24:40. > :24:44.have to make their own minds up about that. That's why it said tough

:24:45. > :24:48.job and that's why I have absolute respect both for Tube it and indeed

:24:49. > :24:52.for Joe in the way they've handled this. They haven't been moaning,

:24:53. > :24:55.they have simply said I understand the position of the shadow cabinet

:24:56. > :24:59.and I understand why the Labour Party has said we will respect the

:25:00. > :25:03.wish of the British people to leave the European Union even though we

:25:04. > :25:11.were against it in principle and campaigned against it. But we will

:25:12. > :25:14.not be able to reconcile that with our own conscience and therefore

:25:15. > :25:16.we're stepping down. I respect them making that tough decision. We

:25:17. > :25:22.apologise for interruptions, tied for time, thank you for your time

:25:23. > :25:27.this morning, Barry Gardiner, the Shadow Secretary of state for trade.

:25:28. > :25:30.Talking about those voting against in the shadow cabinet.

:25:31. > :25:33.Waxwings, redwings and fieldfares are just some of the more unusual

:25:34. > :25:36.birds that might be taking up residence in our gardens thanks

:25:37. > :25:39.to a harsh winter in Russia and Scandinavia.

:25:40. > :25:45.They are among the species the RSPB will be hoping people spot

:25:46. > :25:49.Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to get

:25:50. > :25:52.out their binoculars and fill up their feeders this weekend

:25:53. > :25:55.to take part in one of the world's largest wildlife surveys

:25:56. > :26:06.Over half a million people took part in 2016 with more than 8 million

:26:07. > :26:12.birds counted. The house sparrow was the most common bird in 2016 with

:26:13. > :26:19.61% of the UK's Gardens containing them. Since the first ever Big

:26:20. > :26:26.Garden Birdwatch there have been some changes with an 80% drop of

:26:27. > :26:32.starlings per garden since 1979 and an increase of blue tips by 15%. The

:26:33. > :26:38.wood pigeon has seen the biggest jump, being seen in ten times as

:26:39. > :26:43.many gardens last year compared to 1979. These are the birds we're

:26:44. > :26:48.being told to look out for this year. A harsh winter in Russia and

:26:49. > :26:51.Scandinavia is expected to cause more unusual birds to come to the UK

:26:52. > :26:54.to enjoy our berry crop. Richard Bashford from

:26:55. > :27:03.the RSPB joins us now Good morning. First up, massive

:27:04. > :27:08.respect for the shirt because it has parrots on it. Down to my daughter

:27:09. > :27:14.Molly. I don't think you would see them in our gardens. No. Tell them

:27:15. > :27:19.about how this bird watch works in our gardens? It's a very simple

:27:20. > :27:23.event, it's been going on for 38 years, it's simple because it only

:27:24. > :27:27.takes an hour, if you got a busy weekend, sit down with a cup of tea,

:27:28. > :27:31.count the birds in your garden and send the results to the RSPB and

:27:32. > :27:41.that's it. It is something people can get involved in and it makes a

:27:44. > :27:46.about familiar birds, blackbirds, house sparrows, starlings and

:27:47. > :27:50.Robbins, these are the birds people know and if enough people take part,

:27:51. > :27:55.we get the results and that tells us over 30 years how birds like how

:27:56. > :28:00.starlings and sparrows have been doing. So far, you've been doing it

:28:01. > :28:05.for many years, have you got patterns of which birds are doing

:28:06. > :28:10.best? Those we are seeing less of? There's been quite a lot of changes.

:28:11. > :28:14.Most concern to the RSPB are things like starlings, which we think of...

:28:15. > :28:18.You take them for granted but starlings have declined by three

:28:19. > :28:23.quarters in that time period and house sparrows by more than half.

:28:24. > :28:27.There are some areas, some of our big urban areas don't have house

:28:28. > :28:31.sparrows, or very few. On the plus side there's birds like the

:28:40. > :28:46.that. Tell us more about those unusual birds like the waxwings,

:28:47. > :28:51.what do they look like? Well, yeah. There's certain birds, the waxwings

:28:52. > :28:55.in particular... You can see one there as you're speaking. Dramatic,

:28:56. > :29:01.exotic looking thing, these actually come from the East. We are talking

:29:02. > :29:06.Scandinavia, Russia. If there is no berries in the winter, this is what

:29:11. > :29:13.winter climate, which is a lot warmer than were therefrom and

:29:14. > :29:24.that's what's happened this year. They come to Gardens. We plant a lot

:29:25. > :29:29.of very plants and that's a real bonus for people coming to count

:33:37. > :33:39.playing this weekend, be careful what you do on the goal line!

:33:40. > :33:41.Derby went so close to upsetting their neighbours

:33:42. > :33:47.and the Premier League champions Leicester City.

:33:48. > :33:51.as Darren Bent showed why he's a striker.

:33:52. > :33:57.He loves to find the net, but usually not his own.

:34:47. > :34:51.I don't like the results but I see that we are still fighting for each

:34:52. > :34:54.point, for each little victory, for each success.

:34:55. > :35:01.That's what we are doing and that's the job we have to do.

:35:30. > :35:37.The win moved Abderdeen above Rangers into second place

:35:38. > :35:48.in the table, but they're still 21 points behind Celtic.

:35:49. > :35:51.There's a real throwback feel to the Australian Open tennis.

:35:52. > :35:54.You have to go back to 2008 to find these four players

:35:55. > :35:59.This morning, Serena Williams takes on her sister Venus

:36:00. > :36:01.and tomorrow's men's decider will be between Roger Federer

:36:02. > :36:05.That's after Nadal spent almost five hours on court yesterday

:36:06. > :36:06.seeing off Grigor Dimitrov, before eventually winning

:36:07. > :36:10.But Nadal hasn't won a major title for three years,

:36:11. > :36:17.We never thought that we have the chance to be again in a final

:36:18. > :36:26.So I think we both worked very hard to be

:36:27. > :36:32.where we are, so it's great and he's great at the game.

:36:33. > :36:36.Great that we are in a moment like this and we have

:36:50. > :36:52.against Jonathan Victor Barros was called off just a little over

:36:53. > :36:55.24 hours before it was due to take place.

:36:56. > :36:58.The decision was announced on stage just before the weigh-in,

:37:41. > :37:58.I can't see the Murray brothers doing that.

:37:59. > :38:05.Eight miles of fire, freezing water, huge obstacles,

:38:06. > :38:16.It's why thousands are flocking to the West Midlands this weekend,

:38:17. > :38:20.and after 30 years it's the final ever Tough Guy race this weekend.

:38:21. > :38:24.It's led to hundreds of other extreme races being established.

:38:25. > :38:27.There's now even a movie out to explore why so many

:38:28. > :38:31.I've been on the course near Wolverhampton ahead of this

:38:32. > :38:35.It's the end of an era, on a farm in the West Midlands,

:38:36. > :38:37.where for decades people from around the world

:38:38. > :38:49.Pushing their bodies over eight miles to the extreme.

:38:50. > :38:52.But after this weekend there will be no more Tough Guy.

:38:53. > :38:54.It's been a huge part of my life.

:38:55. > :39:02.It'll be a huge part of my life that will cease to be.

:39:03. > :39:05.Hundreds of thousands of people have attempted this Tough Guy

:39:06. > :39:17.But for those doing it this Sunday, it will be the last ever.

:39:18. > :39:20.Behind it all, the man known as Mr Mouse.

:39:21. > :39:24.A former soldier who 30 years ago wanted to add more of a challenge

:39:25. > :39:29.to fun runs, and so reinvented the obstacles.

:39:30. > :39:38.This is mild compared to the electric shocks before.

:39:39. > :39:42.I decided to put people through something that they'd never

:39:43. > :39:46.Fear, pain, claustrophobia - all of the terrible things that

:39:47. > :39:52.They come through and they say, thank you!

:39:53. > :40:08.And you get this medal put around your neck and there's nothing

:40:09. > :40:13.As Mr Mouse now brings the curtain down on this world-famous event,

:40:14. > :40:17.he is the subject of a movie that looks at why people of today

:40:18. > :40:19.willingly pay to experience such pain and suffering.

:40:20. > :40:24.If you can come back with a Flight Club-esque scar

:40:25. > :40:32.on Monday morning and a story that goes with it about

:40:33. > :40:33.running through fire, sounds awesome.

:40:34. > :40:35.Mr Mouse's cultural impact is massive.

:40:36. > :40:37.All of these things have exploded because of Tough Guy.

:40:38. > :40:40.Not many people know about it and I just thought

:40:41. > :40:44.To mark the final Tough Guy, competitors will be joined

:40:45. > :40:51.on the course by the star of the War Horse film.

:40:52. > :40:54.Mr Mouse wants entrants to remember the suffering that was real

:40:55. > :40:58.And thanks to what started here, obstacle racing is now one

:40:59. > :41:09.of the fastest growing sports in the world.

:41:10. > :41:14.It was one degree when we jumped into the water, but nothing compared

:41:15. > :41:19.to what the actual competitors go through tomorrow. The legacy of Mr

:41:20. > :41:24.Mouse. The film explores why people do this. It seems people living,

:41:25. > :41:28.certainly in the first world, obstacles have been removed.

:41:29. > :41:33.Would you do it again? I think it is addictive. By the end,

:41:34. > :41:34.the feeling of euphoria and achievement is second to none.

:41:35. > :41:38.Well done. Thank you. Ghanian-born artist John Akomfrah

:41:39. > :41:41.has spent his career exploring centuries of struggle

:41:42. > :41:42.and persecution experienced by migrants

:41:43. > :41:49.and refugees. He's now won the Artes Mundi,

:41:50. > :41:55.one of the Uk's most prestigious art prizes, for his film

:41:56. > :41:57.which was inspired while he was teaching

:41:58. > :42:06.in Barbados in 2009. This is an art prize that maybe a

:42:07. > :42:10.lot of people haven't heard of, but it looks at not only your current

:42:11. > :42:15.work but your work over a period of time, six or seven years. Yes, what

:42:16. > :42:24.happens with most prices is that I think it is about a specific work.

:42:25. > :42:27.They take a long view of your work and say, OK, what have you done the

:42:28. > :42:33.last five years? You have been looking at migration. Something that

:42:34. > :42:37.caught your attention. Not exclusively, but yes, I've done

:42:38. > :42:41.quite a bit on migration. I'm from one of those families anyway, so

:42:42. > :42:51.it's a subject that's close my heart. Tell us a bit about the film.

:42:52. > :42:56.I did a number of courses across the world and this particular one was in

:42:57. > :43:04.Barbados, where I saw this cemetery which has basically European Jews.

:43:05. > :43:09.It started me thinking about how many people lived and died in

:43:10. > :43:18.different places because they've had to basically run for their lives. So

:43:19. > :43:22.what you've got in Auto Da Fe are six stories across 400 years of

:43:23. > :43:29.different communities who have two escape persecution. What we saw,

:43:30. > :43:33.maybe we can see more of the images, we saw a split screen. So when

:43:34. > :43:38.people actually go and see your work, there are two separate screens

:43:39. > :43:43.with concurrent things happening at the same time. Is that right? Yes,

:43:44. > :43:48.but sometimes you would just get the same scene but played from different

:43:49. > :43:52.angles. So you see the back of a person, you see where they are and

:43:53. > :44:00.what they are thinking. Almost like a 360 degrees... Exactly, you've got

:44:01. > :44:03.it. It has to be said that current events are very much drawing

:44:04. > :44:08.attention to the storylines that you are illustrating. President Trump

:44:09. > :44:13.has closed the borders of the United States to refugees, to a number of

:44:14. > :44:17.countries, for a period of time, a matter of months. It couldn't be

:44:18. > :44:22.more timely in some respects in relation to what you why doing. It

:44:23. > :44:27.is tragic, but I have to say I saw this coming, which is one of the

:44:28. > :44:36.reasons why I worked on this. The story of refugees... People see it

:44:37. > :44:40.as either something from the past or recent, but it is constant and

:44:41. > :44:45.continuing. When you say that, how did you know it was coming? Just the

:44:46. > :44:51.way in which people were talking about refugees coming to this

:44:52. > :44:54.country. Thinking about the same in 2009, you could hear in the

:44:55. > :45:00.language. They are cockroaches, this and that. It felt as if something

:45:01. > :45:04.was different. The difference in how we talked about strangers. Where

:45:05. > :45:10.were you hearing that? When you are out and about? I would be in

:45:11. > :45:13.different countries and you would hear it, whether in Germany or

:45:14. > :45:18.Scandinavia, wherever. Here it to some extent. You could just feel

:45:19. > :45:23.this difference in attitude towards outsiders coming in. I just thought

:45:24. > :45:27.it would be a good thing to do to counteract that in some ways. John,

:45:28. > :45:34.thank you very much. And congratulations for winning. John

:45:35. > :45:37.Akomfrah has won at the exhibition in Wales it will run until the 26th

:45:38. > :45:46.of Eddery. Hello to both of you, good morning.

:45:47. > :45:53.We're looking at things getting milder over the course of this

:45:54. > :45:56.weekend. It been a cold week with the nasty fog but different this

:45:57. > :46:01.weekend, a weather front bringing outbreaks of rain widely across the

:46:02. > :46:05.country and with the cold air in Scotland we are seeing some snow in

:46:06. > :46:10.the higher ground, about 300 metres. That means stretches of the 89 and a

:46:11. > :46:19.85 at the moment are seeing heavy snow, the risk of icy stretches

:46:20. > :46:24.across some higher areas. -- the A89 and the A85. Further south the

:46:25. > :46:28.early-morning rain will clear out of the way and a breezy afternoon for

:46:29. > :46:32.southern England, south Wales and the south Midlands. Some sunshine

:46:33. > :46:36.with a few passing showers and mild, nine in London. The rain reluctant

:46:37. > :46:40.to move out of northern England so cool and wet here. Northern Ireland

:46:41. > :46:44.brightening up quickly with sunshine this afternoon, a few showers in the

:46:45. > :46:48.west and cloudy and cold in Scotland today, only around four degrees for

:46:49. > :46:58.many. Overnight as the rain eases away we'll see a few showers falling

:46:59. > :47:02.as snow in the tops of the Pennines, still some snow in the hills in

:47:03. > :47:05.Scotland as well. A cold night with a touch of frost developing in the

:47:06. > :47:08.countryside in northern areas hence the risk of icy stretches on

:47:09. > :47:12.untreated roads and services. On Sunday, another weather system will

:47:13. > :47:14.move in of the Atlantic and will bring rain into Northern Ireland,

:47:15. > :47:18.Wales and south-west England during the morning and that wet weather

:47:19. > :47:21.will push north and east through the afternoon. With Scotland we should

:47:22. > :47:24.see sunshine into the afternoon and temperatures in the sunshine still

:47:25. > :47:29.quite cold, 4-6, the milder air is where the cloud and rain is. Next

:47:30. > :47:32.week it looks like a complete change in the weather patterns as low

:47:33. > :47:36.pressure dominates, the Atlantic wakes up and we see weather systems

:47:37. > :47:41.moving across the UK. That means that next week it will be unsettled

:47:42. > :47:44.with spells of rain, it will become windy perhaps with severe gales

:47:45. > :47:48.around particularly later in the week but the winds will often come

:47:49. > :47:52.from the south-west and that's a mild direction. Frost will be

:47:53. > :47:57.relatively rare, especially towards the end of next week. That's how the

:47:58. > :47:59.weather's shaping up. Back to you two.

:48:00. > :48:02.I'm very pleased it's getting milder. See you next week.

:48:03. > :48:07.This week, Samira Ahmed has reaction to coverage of President Trump's

:48:08. > :48:14.Hello and welcome to Newswatch with me, Samira Ahmed.

:48:15. > :48:18.It's been a long week in US politics but did BBC News go overboard in how

:48:19. > :48:20.it covered Donald Trump's inauguration and first few

:48:21. > :48:28.And was it in the UK public interest to focus in news bulletins

:48:29. > :48:34.on the failure of a Trident missile test last year?

:48:35. > :48:37.It's been a busy and controversial first week in office

:48:38. > :48:40.for Donald Trump and we've heard plenty about it on BBC News.

:48:41. > :48:46.It all started of course last Friday in Washington, DC.

:57:46. > :57:56.Good morning to you once again, Carol, it's been a busy few days

:57:57. > :57:59.but we heard in Tom's piece about that Tory rebellion,

:58:02. > :58:04.It looks like the number of Tories rebelling against the government

:58:41. > :58:45.I know they don't decide until 9:30am but what

:58:46. > :58:48.are the thoughts, Carol?

:58:49. > :58:51.Well, the expectation widely is that the judgement will go

:58:52. > :58:53.against the government, that Theresa May will be told

:58:54. > :58:57.of parliament before she can trigger Article 50.

:58:58. > :59:00.As we've mentioned, the judgement did indeed go

:59:01. > :59:24.against her but Steve Ketteringham had a question:

:59:25. > :59:26.Thank you for all your comments this week.

:59:27. > :59:30.If you want to share your opinions on BBC News and current affairs

:01:09. > :01:15.I am a people person. I think you are also, Theresa. I can often tell

:01:16. > :01:19.how I will get along with somebody very early, and I believe we are

:01:20. > :01:20.going to have a fantastic relationship.

:01:21. > :01:23.After a spate of accidents, a call for lorry drivers to be

:01:24. > :01:25.banned from using satnavs designed for cars.

:01:33. > :01:35.next half-hour Serena Williams takes on her sister Venus for the

:01:36. > :01:37.Australian title and a record-breaking 23rd major crown.

:01:38. > :01:46.It is not as cold as has been over recent days, but we have got some

:01:47. > :01:50.rain to contend with today and it is still just about code and for some

:01:51. > :01:51.of that rain to fall as snow in the hills of Scotland.

:01:52. > :02:05.He was 77 and had recently been ill with cancer.

:02:06. > :02:07.He starred in around 200 films including Harry Potter

:02:08. > :02:10.and was nominated for an Oscar for his roles in The Elephant Man

:02:11. > :02:12.Our correspondent Nick Higham reports.

:02:13. > :02:20.Everything seemed to come to a head today. John Hurt, as the political

:02:21. > :02:24.diarist Alan Clark. Both my back wisdom teeth have disintegrated into

:02:25. > :02:28.blackened stumps, or stalagmites. Not a nice man, but unexpectedly

:02:29. > :02:33.sympathetic one, the sort of complex character John Hurt played with such

:02:34. > :02:40.ease and subtlety. His talent was spotted early in a succession of

:02:41. > :02:48.leading stage and television roles. His first big breakthrough came in

:02:49. > :02:52.1966. In a man for all seasons. A small part, but in a high-profile,

:02:53. > :02:56.Oscar-winning film. A few years later, he was starring opposite

:02:57. > :03:00.Richard Attenborough Intel Rillington place. He played the

:03:01. > :03:03.illiterate Timothy Evans, wrongly hanged for a murder he didn't

:03:04. > :03:11.commit. On television, he was the mad Roman Emperor Caligula in the

:03:12. > :03:17.BBC's I, Claudius. You order does not to order any. And you took me at

:03:18. > :03:22.my word, didn't you? And then came the naked civil servant. I wear

:03:23. > :03:26.Roush, I wear mascara on my eyelashes, I dye my hair, I buy

:03:27. > :03:30.flamboyant clothes, far more outre than those I am wearing out. Many

:03:31. > :03:35.people said don't do that, you will never work again. But I said, it is

:03:36. > :03:41.not about homosexuality, it is about the tenderness of the individual as

:03:42. > :03:44.opposed to the cruelty of the crowd. He earned an Oscar nomination for

:03:45. > :03:49.Midnight Express, in which he played a heroin addict in a Turkish prison.

:03:50. > :03:52.And there was another Oscar nomination for his performance as

:03:53. > :04:00.the hideously disfigured John Merrick in The Elephant Man. His

:04:01. > :04:05.lined and weathered face meant he was perfect in the film 1984 as

:04:06. > :04:10.George or dwell's reluctant rebel Winston Smith. -- George Orwell's

:04:11. > :04:12.rabble. He accepted all the television roles he was offered,

:04:13. > :04:18.although that meant stage appearances like this were rare. He

:04:19. > :04:23.played Stephen Ward, Society schema and later victim of the Profumo

:04:24. > :04:28.affair and scandal. I can do wonders with you, little baby. You're my

:04:29. > :04:32.future selves? Late in his career, he made a guest appearance in Doctor

:04:33. > :04:40.Who. Why are you pointing your screwdrivers like that? Almost 200

:04:41. > :04:41.screen roles alone. Few actors were as reliably and engagingly

:04:42. > :04:50.watchable. Theresa May and Donald Trump have

:04:51. > :04:54.stressed their commitment to Nato The Prime Minister and the President

:04:55. > :04:57.both reiterated the importance of the special relationship

:04:58. > :05:00.in the first visit of a foreign leader to Washington

:05:01. > :05:03.since Donald Trump's inauguration. Theresa May urged the

:05:04. > :05:06.United States not to lift The US President is due to speak

:05:07. > :05:12.to Vladimir Putin today. I'll be representing

:05:13. > :05:15.the American people very, very strongly, very,

:05:16. > :05:17.very forcefully, and if we have a great relationship with Russia

:05:18. > :05:22.and other countries, and if we go after Isis together,

:05:23. > :05:25.which has to be stopped, that's an evil that has to be

:05:26. > :05:28.stopped, I will consider that a good Theresa May has travelled

:05:29. > :05:39.from Washington to Turkey for talks on trade and security with President

:05:40. > :05:41.Erdogan. The Prime Minister is also facing

:05:42. > :05:43.pressure to discuss concerns Our Turkey Correspondent Mark

:05:44. > :05:57.Lowen is in Istanbul. Is she there already? Give us a

:05:58. > :06:03.sense of what the discussions might include. She lands in about an hour

:06:04. > :06:07.and she will be focusing very much on trade with President Erdogan and

:06:08. > :06:11.the Prime Minister during talks here. It is a quick visit, four or

:06:12. > :06:15.five hours in Turkey. The two countries are already big trading

:06:16. > :06:19.partners, but they want to increase trade, especially when the UK leads

:06:20. > :06:22.the European Union. It and take you will be on the fringes of the EU and

:06:23. > :06:27.they want to increase trade. They will also be addressing so-called

:06:28. > :06:31.Islamic State. Both of them are part of the coalition against IS. They

:06:32. > :06:35.will also be talking about ongoing attempts to reunite -- reunify

:06:36. > :06:38.Cyprus. There are also calls on Theresa May to address more

:06:39. > :06:42.difficult issues here of human rights abuses and the fact that

:06:43. > :06:46.140,000 people have now been arrested, dismissed or suspended

:06:47. > :06:49.since the failed coup last year. So she goes from one controversial

:06:50. > :06:53.president to another, and there are calls for her to raise those issues.

:06:54. > :06:56.Downing Street officials say she will reiterate support for the

:06:57. > :06:59.Turkish government, but also stressed that Turkey's response to

:07:00. > :07:04.the failed coup needs to be proportionate. Thank you.

:07:05. > :07:07.A growing number of Labour MPs have said they will defy Jeremy Corbyn

:07:08. > :07:10.and vote against triggering the formal process to leave the EU.

:07:11. > :07:12.Yesterday, a member of his shadow cabinet resigned from the front

:07:13. > :07:23.Our Political Correspondent Ellie Price is in our London newsroom.

:07:24. > :07:29.If so growing dissent amongst the Labour Party? That's right.

:07:30. > :07:32.Yesterday, the Shadow Welsh Secretary resigned, saying she

:07:33. > :07:36.thought Brexit would be a terrible mistake. Intriguingly, two of the

:07:37. > :07:39.Labour whips that they would vote against triggering article 50. In

:07:40. > :07:44.political terms, it gets complicated because it is their job to enforce

:07:45. > :07:50.party discipline. Jeremy Corbyn has tried to be conciliatory. He said he

:07:51. > :07:54.has told his MPs from prop Remain constituencies that he understands

:07:55. > :07:57.they are torn. But he needs to provide labour with a coherent

:07:58. > :08:07.position on Brexit. He says he wants Labour to respect the outcome of the

:08:08. > :08:12.EU referendum and it is important to remember that the majority of Labour

:08:13. > :08:16.constituencies voted to leave the EU. So it puts him in a difficult

:08:17. > :08:20.position with his MPs. Number crunching suggests that 70 MPs

:08:21. > :08:24.represent Labour constituencies that voted to remain. Not all of those

:08:25. > :08:27.will defy Jeremy Corbyn, but a number will. So it provides Jeremy

:08:28. > :08:35.Corbyn with some difficult navigation through these Brexit

:08:36. > :08:39.times. A draft letter of application from King George III has been made

:08:40. > :08:44.public for the first time. The unsent letter, including crossings

:08:45. > :08:46.out, read drafts, blotches and scrolls, was written during the

:08:47. > :08:51.American war of independence and is one of thousands of his private

:08:52. > :08:53.papers released by the royal archives. Later this morning, we

:08:54. > :08:54.will take a more detailed look at some of those extraordinary

:08:55. > :08:56.documents. The UK's 2017 Eurovision

:08:57. > :09:10.entry has been decided. Former X Factor contestant

:09:11. > :09:16.Lucie Jones will represent the country in Kiev in May

:09:17. > :09:20.with the song Never Give Up On You, which was written by

:09:21. > :09:22.a former Eurovision winner. Lucie was chosen after winning

:09:23. > :09:24.the combined public and jury vote at the end of a live TV show

:09:25. > :09:28.in which six singers performed. All of the potential acts

:09:29. > :09:38.were former X Factor contestants. The we wish her well, albeit it

:09:39. > :09:44.hasn't gone too well recently at Eurovision. But things can change.

:09:45. > :09:48.Change is a mantra at the moment. Nothing is predictable. Now back to

:09:49. > :09:50.one of our lead stories. It started with an Oval Office photo

:09:51. > :09:53.call in front of the bust of Sir Winston Churchill,

:09:54. > :09:55.and ended with agreement on the importance of

:09:56. > :09:58.the so-called special relationship. Theresa May's visit

:09:59. > :10:02.to President Donald Trump is the front page of most

:10:03. > :10:20.of the papers, but was it a success Here is a recap of some of the key

:10:21. > :10:26.moments. This is the original, folks, in many ways. It is a great

:10:27. > :10:33.honour to have Winston Churchill back. Today, the United States

:10:34. > :10:36.renews our deep bond with Britain - military, financial, cultural and

:10:37. > :10:43.political. We pledge our lasting support to this most special

:10:44. > :10:46.relationship. On defence and security cooperation, we are united

:10:47. > :10:49.in our recognition of Nato as the bulwark of our collective defence.

:10:50. > :10:54.Today, we have reaffirmed our unshakeable commitment to this

:10:55. > :10:57.alliance. I think Brexit is going to be a wonderful thing for your

:10:58. > :11:01.country. I have been listening to the president and the president has

:11:02. > :11:04.listened to me, that is the point of having a conversation. I can tell

:11:05. > :11:07.how I will get along with somebody very early, and I believe we are

:11:08. > :11:11.going to have a fantastic relationship.

:11:12. > :11:13.American journalist Beth Gardiner joins us from our London newsroom

:11:14. > :11:22.and political commentator Charlie Woolf joins us on the sofa.

:11:23. > :11:27.Charlie, let's get one thing out of the way first, the handholding. It

:11:28. > :11:31.is on the front page of all the papers. This was after the press

:11:32. > :11:36.conference. Many will have seen it already. They were just stepping out

:11:37. > :11:39.of the White House along one of the verandas, and Donald Trump laid his

:11:40. > :11:46.hand on Theresa May's wrist to help her down the steps. But that is the

:11:47. > :11:51.shot everyone has taken. The man is a gentleman, and that is why he did

:11:52. > :11:54.it. We will make sure he knows not to do that with Her Majesty when he

:11:55. > :11:57.comes for the state visit, although Michelle Obama did that and got away

:11:58. > :12:03.with it. I think it was a win-win from both sides. The speech Mrs May

:12:04. > :12:08.gave to the Republican retreat, where she talked about not making

:12:09. > :12:14.the world in our image any more, and minor point I disagree with, but I

:12:15. > :12:18.guess if you can put 1000 McDonald's in Iraq, it is not going to turn

:12:19. > :12:23.into America. That went down pretty well. In the press conference, you

:12:24. > :12:33.could see that Great Britain is in prime position. This is the ally. He

:12:34. > :12:37.wants to roll his sleeves up. Beth, what are your thoughts on it? A

:12:38. > :12:43.people are talking about how Trump was very calm. We certainly saw the

:12:44. > :12:47.well-behaved Trump yesterday. I think he kept his cool in a way that

:12:48. > :12:51.we certainly didn't see at his previous press conference a couple

:12:52. > :12:53.of weeks ago in New York before his inauguration, where he really lashed

:12:54. > :13:01.out at some of the questions that were asked. We will have to wait and

:13:02. > :13:06.see how this relationship pans out. Theresa May has clearly decided to

:13:07. > :13:10.cast her lot with Donald Trump. As you said, that handholding photo was

:13:11. > :13:14.on the cover for the papers this morning. And I think it may become

:13:15. > :13:20.an indelible image. We will have to wait and see, as this president

:13:21. > :13:28.moves forward, whether that is a relationship she may come to regret

:13:29. > :13:32.Patty implements some of the contentious policies he has

:13:33. > :13:41.outlined, starting this morning with the news of a clamp-down on refugees

:13:42. > :13:44.with a religious caste to it. Issues immediately arise. During the press

:13:45. > :13:47.conference, we know that President Trump is going to be speaking to

:13:48. > :13:51.Vladimir Putin by phone today. A very direct question was asked about

:13:52. > :13:55.what to do about Russia. Theresa May gave it a straight answer - we

:13:56. > :14:00.believe sanctions should remain. Donald Trump has a different

:14:01. > :14:07.standpoint, and they stood together on stage saying different things.

:14:08. > :14:12.But there was a mutual respect. Everyone was saying, she should tell

:14:13. > :14:15.him what to do. Instead, I think she has built a relationship where I

:14:16. > :14:20.could see him picking up the phone after talking to Putin or before

:14:21. > :14:24.talking to him, saying, what do you think? The sort of relationship Iraq

:14:25. > :14:29.Obama had with Mrs Merkel. That is a good position to be in -- the

:14:30. > :14:35.position Barack Obama had with Mrs Merkel. Already, the US papers, who

:14:36. > :14:41.probably weeks ago didn't know who Mrs May was, now consider her to be

:14:42. > :14:48.Margaret Thatcher. I think it has done well for both her and for him.

:14:49. > :14:51.The question from Laura Kuenssberg, from an American sense, I thought it

:14:52. > :14:57.was a bit on the edge. That said, he handled it. He gave that New York

:14:58. > :15:02.laughed and said, this is the first question you give me? It is worth

:15:03. > :15:07.reminding people of that question from Laura Kuenssberg from the BBC.

:15:08. > :15:11.It was the one about, maybe people find you, looking from overseas, it

:15:12. > :15:14.is hard to understand you as the leader of the free world when there

:15:15. > :15:18.are things you said that people might find hard to understand. That

:15:19. > :15:24.was a moment when he could have gone in a different direction, but he

:15:25. > :15:30.showed a sense of humour. He did try to deflect the question with a joke

:15:31. > :15:35.that his guest, Theresa May, in an uncomfortable spot, as well as Laura

:15:36. > :15:40.Kuenssberg, who asked it. A more mature leader might have taken that

:15:41. > :15:48.question as an opportunity to try to reassure some of the people who are,

:15:49. > :15:52.as Laura said, deeply frightened and concerned by some of the things we

:15:53. > :15:58.have heard from Donald Trump over the past 18 months of his

:15:59. > :16:02.ascendancy. Trump did not do that. What he did was reflective of what

:16:03. > :16:07.we have seen from him all along. He told us just a week ago that he was

:16:08. > :16:12.in a running war with the media at that press conference in New York.

:16:13. > :16:16.He lashed out in a shouting match with the CNN reporter. We saw him

:16:17. > :16:21.over the course of the campaign lead arenas full of thousands of people

:16:22. > :16:27.in chants against journalists. He likes to turn the tables and use

:16:28. > :16:32.journalism as his whipping boy. I think Laura Kuenssberg, with her

:16:33. > :16:38.question, was trying to hold him to account for some of the things he

:16:39. > :16:40.said. He doesn't like that. He is going to find that as president,

:16:41. > :16:49.there are going to be hard questions. It is a two-way street.

:16:50. > :16:54.For instance, the whole dossier turned out to be fake news. So they

:16:55. > :16:58.will have to develop a mutual respect for each other. I think he

:16:59. > :17:03.handled it well and Mrs May handled it well. We have to leave it there.

:17:04. > :17:07.Thank you. Venus and Serena Williams are no

:17:08. > :17:11.strangers to sibling rivalry They have played each other

:17:12. > :17:17.in eight grand slam finals. But today's Australian

:17:18. > :17:20.Open is a special one. Let's have a look at what's

:17:21. > :18:08.at stake for the sisters. When I am playing on the floor with

:18:09. > :18:20.her, I think I am playing the best competitor in the game.

:18:21. > :18:28.I never lost hope of us being able to play each other in a final. I

:18:29. > :18:29.couldn't write a better ending, so this is a great opportunity for us

:18:30. > :18:34.to start our new beginning. Former British number one John Lloyd

:18:35. > :18:49.who will be commentating It really is a big day. We have been

:18:50. > :18:52.talking about it over the last few days and saying it feels really

:18:53. > :19:00.retro to go back to grand slams with the Williams sisters in the final.

:19:01. > :19:04.To me, it is the greatest sports story in history, the Williams

:19:05. > :19:09.sisters. When they finally make a film about them, it will be just

:19:10. > :19:12.reward and I hope they do them justice because it is the most

:19:13. > :19:16.extraordinary sports story, what they have achieved. To be in the

:19:17. > :19:19.final again, particularly from Venus' side, with the illness she

:19:20. > :19:23.has had and being out of the finals for so many years, it is

:19:24. > :19:27.spectacular. Some people follow tennis only on these big occasions.

:19:28. > :19:32.Remind us of the journey they have been on. There was a period of time,

:19:33. > :19:35.and it has happened to others like Roger Federer, and Nadal, both in

:19:36. > :19:43.the final as well, where people have said, that Iraq has passed. -- that

:19:44. > :19:46.era has passed. And here we are! Class will always come through. As

:19:47. > :19:50.long as the people you are talking about have that love for the game

:19:51. > :19:56.and the desire. The Williams sisters have handled their career so well. A

:19:57. > :20:01.lot of people said they have other things they like doing. Serena liked

:20:02. > :20:06.acting and Venus like designing clothes, but they got it right. They

:20:07. > :20:10.played tennis hard but they also had time off and did other things and

:20:11. > :20:14.kept themselves fresh. They are still playing now and they love the

:20:15. > :20:19.game as much as when they first set foot on Wimbledon. That is the

:20:20. > :20:23.beauty of it. They have handled their careers perfectly. The whole

:20:24. > :20:27.Australian Open has been interesting from many perspectives, because of

:20:28. > :20:30.how well Evans did to get as far as he did, but also, you have Nadal and

:20:31. > :20:34.Federer against each other in the final. And that interesting stat

:20:35. > :20:41.about the final in both the men's and women's is people over 30. It is

:20:42. > :20:47.fantastic. Everybody I talked to wanted these finals. And no one

:20:48. > :20:53.expected it. Again, it shows you that there is still life left in

:20:54. > :20:56.older players. A few years back, what you reached 30, it was time to

:20:57. > :21:00.quit. They have proven that as long as you have the attitude and these

:21:01. > :21:04.days with sports science, you have the training they have now and the

:21:05. > :21:08.nutrition and other stuff, in my day, before a match you had steak

:21:09. > :21:13.and chips. And what it down with three Coca-Cola 's! Now, you have

:21:14. > :21:17.all this sports science and they keep themselves in amazing shape and

:21:18. > :21:22.they love the game. Let me ask you to do the awkward thing. You are

:21:23. > :21:26.going to be commentating on today's game and the men's final tomorrow.

:21:27. > :21:29.Give us a quick talk through what might happen and what is your

:21:30. > :21:38.instinct about who will win? The obvious one with the ladies is

:21:39. > :21:42.Serena. If I was Venus, and my big sis, who has won these tournaments

:21:43. > :21:48.before and I had not won 148 while, I would be saying at dinner time,

:21:49. > :21:56.give me one! But I think Serena is too good and she will win. In the

:21:57. > :22:03.men's, it is more difficult in terms of, you don't know how the Rafael

:22:04. > :22:11.Nadal much 55 cents was one of the great matches -- the match with five

:22:12. > :22:15.sets. Now he hasn't been in the final for a while and his body is

:22:16. > :22:18.not used to it. That will certainly help Federer. Having said that, I

:22:19. > :22:24.would still go for Rafael Nadal to win. And it is worth mentioning the

:22:25. > :22:30.wheelchair men's doubles, because Gordon Reid completed a career Grand

:22:31. > :22:34.Slam in winning that. It is amazing. We are blessed. We have got good

:22:35. > :22:38.champions in all areas of the sport, and it is fantastic. Tennis is

:22:39. > :22:42.booming in Britain. And you are going straight into your commentary

:22:43. > :22:44.booth now, because it is starting in the next 15 minutes. Thank you for

:22:45. > :22:53.coming to see us. Let's find out what is happening

:22:54. > :22:59.with the weather. We are finally thawing out after a freezing cold

:23:00. > :23:02.week, with some nasty fog problems. Temperatures are now rising and it

:23:03. > :23:06.is a relatively mild start to the day across England and Wales. That

:23:07. > :23:11.is because we have a weather system that has moved in, bringing Atlantic

:23:12. > :23:16.air and quite a lot of rain. It is a wet start of the day for many areas

:23:17. > :23:20.of the UK. Across the high ground in Scotland, some of the rain is

:23:21. > :23:26.falling as snow. That means some of the higher routes like the Anine and

:23:27. > :23:32.A85 are getting stoked. There is a risk of icy stretches here for a

:23:33. > :23:38.time. For Wales and Southern counties of England, it is not a bad

:23:39. > :23:42.day. Quite a breezy afternoon. The winds are coming from the West, so

:23:43. > :23:48.it is a relatively mild direction. There will be a number of showers

:23:49. > :23:51.across south-western areas. The rain is reluctant to clear in northern

:23:52. > :23:56.England. Northern Ireland should brighten up, and Scotland stays

:23:57. > :24:00.quite grey and cloudy. Overnight, there was a risk of icy stretches

:24:01. > :24:03.across northern parts as we see a frost setting in the countryside.

:24:04. > :24:09.There will be some showers falling as snow over the hills of Scotland

:24:10. > :24:13.and also over the Pennines. Later in the night, temperatures will rise

:24:14. > :24:17.across Wales and south-west England as the next system comes in. This

:24:18. > :24:21.will bring more rain for the second half of the weekend. It will turn

:24:22. > :24:25.wet quickly for Wales and south-west England. Then the band of rain

:24:26. > :24:29.extends north and eastwards through the rest of Sunday. To the north of

:24:30. > :24:34.this, it stays dry in Scotland, but it will stay cold. The milder areas

:24:35. > :24:45.towards the south-west, with that cloud and rain. Next week, it is an

:24:46. > :24:49.unsettled looking weak. Then we see bigger systems towards the end of

:24:50. > :24:53.the week. This means we are looking at spells of rain next week. It is

:24:54. > :24:58.going to become windy, perhaps with severe gales developing. Bursts of

:24:59. > :25:01.wind are often coming from the south-west. It will be on the mild

:25:02. > :25:06.side. I don't think there will be a great deal of frost around.

:25:07. > :25:08.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:25:09. > :25:10.It's time now for a look at the newspapers.

:25:11. > :25:12.Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw is here to tell us

:25:13. > :25:30.We are of course talking about the death of Sir John Hurt this morning.

:25:31. > :25:34.77 years old. The breadth of his work and the scale of what he did...

:25:35. > :25:38.It is amazing. It is not a shock because he had been ill for some

:25:39. > :25:46.time, but he always wanted to keep working. It was not just his work,

:25:47. > :25:51.it was his vocation and his life. The most recent of his performances

:25:52. > :25:57.was in the movie Jackie. He plays a fictional composite role of her

:25:58. > :26:00.father confessor, her priest that Jackie goes to in the movie and

:26:01. > :26:03.tries to talk about her relationship with President Kennedy and the

:26:04. > :26:08.question of their marriage and his fidelity and the rest of it. It is a

:26:09. > :26:12.brilliant cameo for John Hurt. It is exactly what he always supplied,

:26:13. > :26:16.this incredible potency and power, particularly in a small part. He

:26:17. > :26:23.gave any film that texts and depth, and he was a class act. He made

:26:24. > :26:28.anything look like $1 million. Such a wonderful actor. People of my

:26:29. > :26:32.generation remember him first of course as Caligula in I, Claudius.

:26:33. > :26:36.We remember him bringing his horse on and making his horse a consort.

:26:37. > :26:44.He had that androgynous, boyish face in the late 70s. But there was a

:26:45. > :26:49.hint of what was to come. And a couple of years later, The Elephant

:26:50. > :26:53.Man, John Merrick. You have come to review the papers and there was only

:26:54. > :26:57.one story dominating. I know, that was always going to be the main

:26:58. > :27:02.story. I don't know whether it is a success or not. All the papers are

:27:03. > :27:05.full of the hand shots. Unlike normal people holding hands, they

:27:06. > :27:09.are not holding hands with their arms down, they are holding hands

:27:10. > :27:17.the way when you are a little kid, your mum grabbed your hand when you

:27:18. > :27:19.were crossing the road. Clearly, it was Mr Trump's idea to hold her

:27:20. > :27:26.hand. She obviously didn't think, I will hold Donald's hand. It was his

:27:27. > :27:32.idea. So you have this extraordinary shot. It is absolute catnip for the

:27:33. > :27:39.papers. Intimate and yet bizarre. It is on the steps, so it is a moment.

:27:40. > :27:43.He is guiding her down. No one else would have got away with that. I

:27:44. > :27:48.don't think Ronald Reagan would have dared hold Margaret Thatcher's hand.

:27:49. > :27:59.It is the part as well. In the papers, you don't see the pattern --

:28:00. > :28:03.pat. Journalists, cynically, want it to be a disaster, and yet the

:28:04. > :28:06.Patriots wanted to be a success. We are sick of Mr Trump terrifying us

:28:07. > :28:10.all. We want him to calm down and do the decent special relationship

:28:11. > :28:17.thing. And in a way, Mrs May seems to have done that. She has got him

:28:18. > :28:23.to reaffirm his commitment. In your paper, the Guardian, on the issue of

:28:24. > :28:27.Trump, Melania Trump is on the front page of Vanity Fair in Mexico. I

:28:28. > :28:32.didn't know Mexico have a special edition, but it does. And Melania

:28:33. > :28:34.Trump has chosen this moment to appear on the Mexican edition,

:28:35. > :28:43.posing with a string of jewels on a plate as if it is spaghetti, and she

:28:44. > :28:46.is about to eat them with a fork. Which is quite odd, especially when

:28:47. > :28:51.Mexico is suffering from a malnutrition and poverty crisis. And

:28:52. > :28:55.the president has cancelled his visit. He wants to build and own

:28:56. > :29:02.enormous wall at their expense to keep them out. Pick another one,

:29:03. > :29:07.other than Trump related. I am a huge fan of the movie La La Land.

:29:08. > :29:10.Any story about La La Land warms my heart. The FT have got this profile

:29:11. > :29:17.today of the director of La La Land, a remarkable young guy, Damien

:29:18. > :29:21.Chazelle. He's 31 or 32 years old, poised for a historic victory with

:29:22. > :29:25.La La Land. And the Guardian has former Strictly judge Arlene

:29:26. > :29:32.Phillips judging the dance numbers. I think she gives them nine. I would

:29:33. > :29:37.give them ten! I am going to be controversial. I didn't love it! Go

:29:38. > :29:42.what?! This is what I call the La La Land backlash. It happens every

:29:43. > :29:46.year. All of us critics are usually pretty unanimous. We write our

:29:47. > :29:50.reviews and about this time of year, there is the pundit backlash, where

:29:51. > :29:53.other people are nagged beyond endurance to see these films that

:29:54. > :29:56.the critics have been jabbering about. And they go and see it, and

:29:57. > :30:01.it is our fault for overselling them. If only you could have seen it

:30:02. > :30:05.without having to listen to a jabbering chorus of people like me

:30:06. > :30:11.ordering you to see it! You don't want to be told what to do. Even if

:30:12. > :30:14.it is good. You will be back in the next hour. Headlines coming up in

:30:15. > :30:58.just a moment. Hello, this is Breakfast with

:30:59. > :31:01.Charlie Stayt and Steph McGovern. Coming up before 9,

:31:02. > :31:03.we'll have an update But first at 8.31am, a summary

:31:04. > :31:10.of this morning's main news: He starred in around 200 films,

:31:11. > :31:20.including Harry Potter and was nominated for an Oscar

:31:21. > :31:24.for his roles in 'The Elephant Man' Sir John continued working

:31:25. > :31:26.despite being diagnosed Many tributes have been

:31:27. > :32:12.pouring in online. Let's look at the other news this

:32:13. > :32:15.morning. Theresa May and Donald Trump have

:32:16. > :32:18.stressed their commitment to Nato The Prime Minister and the President

:32:19. > :32:21.both reiterated the importance of the special relationship

:32:22. > :32:24.in the first visit of a foreign leader to Washington

:32:25. > :32:26.since Donald Trump's inauguration. Theresa May urged the

:32:27. > :32:28.United States not to lift The US President is due to speak

:32:29. > :32:37.to Vladimir Putin today. I will be representing

:32:38. > :32:44.the American people very, very strongly, very forcefully,

:32:45. > :32:46.and if we have a great relationship with Russia

:32:47. > :32:48.and other countries, and if we go after Isis together,

:32:49. > :32:51.which has to be stopped, that's an evil that has to be

:32:52. > :32:54.stopped, I will consider that a good Following the trip to Washington,

:32:55. > :32:59.Theresa May is now on her way to Turkey for talks

:33:00. > :33:00.with President Erdogan. The talks are expected to focus

:33:01. > :33:03.on trade and security but she's facing pressure to discuss

:33:04. > :33:07.concerns about alleged human Lorry drivers should be

:33:08. > :33:13.banned from using sat That's what councils are calling

:33:14. > :33:17.for after a spate of incidents caused by heavy goods vehicles

:33:18. > :33:20.using bridges where they're The Local Government Association

:33:21. > :33:28.wants legislation brought in to make it compulsory for all lorry drivers

:33:29. > :33:31.to use sat-navs specifically A draft letter of abdication

:33:32. > :33:40.from King George III has been The unsent letter - you can see

:33:41. > :33:48.here, which includes crossings out, redrafts, blotches and scrawls -

:33:49. > :33:51.was written during the American War of Independence, and is one

:33:52. > :33:53.of thousands of his private papers Those are the main

:33:54. > :34:03.stories this morning. Of course, a big day for sport. You

:34:04. > :34:07.know what I'm talking about, the grand slam final. The greatest

:34:08. > :34:12.sporting story ever, the story of the Williams sisters. The odds

:34:13. > :34:22.before the Australian open started of the Williams sisters meeting in

:34:23. > :34:27.the women's final and Nadal playing Federer were very long. It so

:34:28. > :34:31.mesmerising, the contest, it's not just the sporting battle but the

:34:32. > :34:36.mental battle, two sisters who have competed against each other so long.

:34:37. > :34:38.And Serena with that record so close, who can mess it up... Her

:34:39. > :34:41.sister! Given that Serena is 35 and Venus

:34:42. > :34:44.a year older, it's remarkable that they are contesting

:34:45. > :34:46.a grand slam trophy again, Then it was on the grass of

:34:47. > :34:51.Wimbledon, on a day that Serena won. Venus has since had to battle

:34:52. > :34:54.a illness that affects her immune system, and Serena has

:34:55. > :34:58.had her injury problems but if she can now win, it

:34:59. > :35:01.would be her 23rd grand slam title, taking her past Steffi Graff's

:35:02. > :35:04.record. There's a retro feel

:35:05. > :35:07.to the Australian Open tennis. You have to go back to 2008

:35:08. > :35:10.to find these four players, This morning, Serena Williams takes

:35:11. > :35:16.on her sister Venus, and tomorrow's men's

:35:17. > :35:18.decider will be between Another throwback. How weird is

:35:19. > :35:27.this? That's after Nadal, spent almost

:35:28. > :35:29.five hours on court yesterday, against Grigor Dimitrov,

:35:30. > :35:31.before eventually Nadal hasn't won a major

:35:32. > :35:34.title for three years - We never thought that we had

:35:35. > :35:39.the chance again to be in a final, and especially in

:35:40. > :35:40.the first of the year. I think both of us,

:35:41. > :35:46.we worked very hard to be It's great that, again,

:35:47. > :35:54.we're in a moment like this, and we're going to have

:35:55. > :35:57.the chance to enjoy again And one more line from Melbourne -

:35:58. > :36:02.Britain's Andy Lapthorne lost to Australia's Paralympic champion

:36:03. > :36:15.Dylan Alcott in the quad Let me keep an eye on the women's

:36:16. > :36:17.Williams final, if you like. We will keep you updated. Highlights later

:36:18. > :36:19.at 1:15pm. The fourth round of the FA Cup got

:36:20. > :36:23.of to a flying start last night, with Derby going so close

:36:24. > :36:25.to upsetting their neighbours, the Premier League

:36:26. > :36:28.champions Leicester City. Derby of the Championship,

:36:29. > :36:31.made it hard for themselves, as Darren Bent showed why

:36:32. > :36:39.he's a striker... A striker trying to defend, not

:36:53. > :36:55.What a cup tie, what a great game, great atmosphere.

:36:56. > :36:57.As I said, proud of the players, coming against the champions,

:36:58. > :37:00.to perform like that and give them a real good game.

:37:01. > :37:02.I just said, another game against them, look forward to it.

:37:03. > :37:08.There's no Dan Walker on the sofa today -

:37:21. > :37:26.Liverpool's only win in any competition in 2017 so far,

:37:27. > :37:29.came when they beat Plymouth Argyle, in a third round replay.

:37:30. > :37:34.But Wolves have already knocked out Premier League Stoke City.

:37:35. > :37:38.I don't like the results, but I see that we're really fighting,

:37:39. > :37:41.still fighting for each point, for each little victory, for each

:37:42. > :37:47.That's what we're doing, and it's the job we have to do.

:37:48. > :37:50.I'm absolutely more than OK, and looking forward to the next

:38:25. > :38:26.Jonathan Victor Barros was called off, just a little over

:38:27. > :38:29.24 hours before it was due to take place.

:38:30. > :38:31.The decision was announced on stage, just before

:38:32. > :38:33.the weigh-in in Las Vegas - American media have reported

:39:36. > :39:38.Nearly a quarter of a million people who care for someone

:39:39. > :39:41.with a disability are losing out on pension credits which could leave

:39:42. > :39:44.This is because many aren't claiming this extra benefit.

:39:45. > :39:47.Paul Lewis from Radio 4's Money Box is in our London studio and has been

:39:48. > :39:53.Good morning. Tell us a bit about what this is about and who can get

:39:54. > :39:57.help? These contributions toward your state pension, if you had to

:39:58. > :40:00.buy them date cost you several hundred pounds a year, so they are

:40:01. > :40:05.free in that sense and each year will boost your state pension by

:40:06. > :40:10.about 200 odd pounds a year. But out of a quarter of million people who

:40:11. > :40:14.could get them, only about 11,000 actually have, the others have just

:40:15. > :40:18.not applied or they don't know about them or they find the whole process

:40:19. > :40:22.too daunting. But they really are missing out on important help,

:40:23. > :40:27.because if they don't get it, there could be gaps in their national

:40:28. > :40:31.insurance record and get reduced payments when they get to pension

:40:32. > :40:35.age. The people we are talking about our carers who will be very busy and

:40:36. > :40:39.as you say, trying to claim that this might seem very daunting than

:40:40. > :40:43.they might not have time to do it. How can you claim? It can be

:40:44. > :40:46.daunting. I was wondering why they had claimed and then I looked at the

:40:47. > :40:54.forms online on the government website. I must say, they are long.

:40:55. > :40:59.I think it might put people off. Really am trying to encourage

:41:00. > :41:03.people, as I often do an Breakfast, don't be put off, it is your right

:41:04. > :41:06.and you should do it. It's a long form but you just have to figure out

:41:07. > :41:09.with details and sometimes get a statement from a health professional

:41:10. > :41:14.you really are caring for at least 20 hours a week, for someone who

:41:15. > :41:17.gets disability benefits and you don't get other benefits yourself

:41:18. > :41:21.and you can get this help. But you have to claim it. I don't know why,

:41:22. > :41:24.the government know who they are or should do, they could give it

:41:25. > :41:26.automatically stoplight interesting, thank you for that.

:41:27. > :41:30.You can hear more on Money Box on Radio 4, at midday.

:41:31. > :41:35.Tributes have been pouring in for the actor Sir John

:41:36. > :41:40.The Oscar nominated star continued working, despite being diagnosed

:41:41. > :41:46.Our Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson is here.

:41:47. > :41:57.Good morning. 200 films he's been in, it's such a varied career he's

:41:58. > :42:00.had. Varied is the word. I was trying to think what made John Hurt

:42:01. > :42:06.so special and it's when he took on a role he gave a sense of gravity as

:42:07. > :42:11.and a sense of fun at the same time. 1978, he took two role that year,

:42:12. > :42:21.the voice of haze the rabbit in Water Ship Down. And nominated for

:42:22. > :42:25.an award for playing a heroin addict in Midnight Express. Then he played

:42:26. > :42:29.The Elephant Man, Oscar nominated again. For a whole generation he's

:42:30. > :42:35.known for Harry Potter for selling magic wands. He even has his Doctor

:42:36. > :42:38.Who action figure. What variety. He was one of those actors who had a

:42:39. > :42:43.stamp of quality. When you knew he was in a film it was almost like you

:42:44. > :42:47.thought, this film is going to be something special, interesting or

:42:48. > :42:50.good. Like a brand of quality. A sense of relief if you knew he was

:42:51. > :42:56.in it. He's in cinemas at the moment, Jackie, the film that could

:42:57. > :43:04.get Natalie Portman Best actresses here. Towards the end of the film up

:43:05. > :43:09.pops John Hurt is appreciate 57. You think everything is all right now

:43:10. > :43:16.he's on-screen. Fashion some were very popular films. The alien was

:43:17. > :43:22.voted, that moment in the film many people remember, where the alien

:43:23. > :43:25.burst out of the chest is voted by many people as their favourite

:43:26. > :43:29.moment in the cinema. We've spoken to Sedona Weaver, an interview done

:43:30. > :43:32.two years ago, where she talked about that moment in the scene and

:43:33. > :43:38.the actors preparing themselves for what was about to happen.

:43:39. > :43:47.It was in the script and when we got down to the set everyone was wearing

:43:48. > :43:50.ponchos, which made us think something is going to happen that's

:43:51. > :43:55.not usual. But I don't think anything could have prepared us

:43:56. > :43:59.first of all for John's performance. Such brilliant acting. I didn't

:44:00. > :44:06.realise he was acting. You thought something had gone wrong. All I

:44:07. > :44:11.thought was, John is dying. Then the next take, this was with a couple of

:44:12. > :44:16.guys underneath the table, no CGI, no anything, no green screen, with a

:44:17. > :44:22.couple of little tubes and bulbs, and they made this little, honestly,

:44:23. > :44:27.they did a quick change, then this thing came out of John Hurt's fake

:44:28. > :44:35.chest, sat on the table, looked around and ran off the table, all in

:44:36. > :44:40.one shot. There is a master where all five of us are... And we're not

:44:41. > :44:46.acting, because we just went... What just happened? You know, it happened

:44:47. > :44:52.so seamlessly that it seemed so real.

:44:53. > :44:56.Wonderful to hear. One of the most famous deaths in cinema history. But

:44:57. > :45:03.three or four years ago he had been playing Quentin crisp in the naked

:45:04. > :45:09.civil servant. And before that he played Caligula.

:45:10. > :45:14.He was never typecast. That's why so many tributes have been coming in

:45:15. > :45:20.for him because he meant so much to many people. Mel Brooks was the

:45:21. > :45:26.producer of The Elephant Man, he paid tribute saying no one could

:45:27. > :45:36.have played The Elephant Man better. J K rolling because of the Harry

:45:37. > :45:44.Potter films. And the final tribute, to show the breadth of fan base John

:45:45. > :45:50.Hurt had, Axl Rose from guns and Roses has tweeted. He says,

:45:51. > :45:55."Archibald, you speak, one must never underestimate the healing

:45:56. > :46:03.power of hatred". We all now know Axl Rose's favourite John Hurt roll.

:46:04. > :46:05.Thank you. It is 8:45am. Time to find out what's happening with the

:46:06. > :46:15.weather. Good morning, Chris. Good morning, we are changing the

:46:16. > :46:20.weather, things turning much milder. You can see the green on the map and

:46:21. > :46:23.even tinges of yellow as those temperatures rise through the

:46:24. > :46:27.weekend. It is all change and the changes brought about by area of low

:46:28. > :46:31.pressure, also bringing some wet weather. A wet start to the day for

:46:32. > :46:35.many of us. This rain still working into the cold air is still with us

:46:36. > :46:43.in Scotland, bringing some snowfall. Most the snow above 300 metres

:46:44. > :46:49.elevation. But the A9 could be icy for a time to be some slow to clear

:46:50. > :46:52.rain from northern areas but different further south, where we

:46:53. > :46:56.get rid of the rain and replace it with sunshine and showers. There

:46:57. > :46:59.will be a brisk westerly breeze and that will bring in the mild

:47:00. > :47:06.temperatures, up to 9 degrees in London. Staying on the cool side in

:47:07. > :47:11.Northern Ireland. And in Scotland, staying quite cloudy and damp with

:47:12. > :47:15.the rain, four degrees as good as it gets the many areas. Overnight

:47:16. > :47:20.tonight, as the skies clear, a touch of frost developing in rural areas.

:47:21. > :47:24.The risk of some icy stretches there will still be some snow showers

:47:25. > :47:29.across the of Scotland and also over the Pennines as well. Further south

:47:30. > :47:32.and west, milder air will be working in as the next Atlantic system

:47:33. > :47:37.pushes and in time for Sunday. Here is Sunday's weather. Outbreaks of

:47:38. > :47:40.rain for Wales in south-west England, swinging northwards and

:47:41. > :47:47.eastwards across Northern Ireland. Holding onto some sunshine in the

:47:48. > :47:50.north-east of England. Still quite cold, temperatures 4-6. In the

:47:51. > :47:54.south-west we will be into double figures with cries of ten in

:47:55. > :47:58.Plymouth. Looking for the weather for the week ahead, and unsettled

:47:59. > :48:02.week. Outbreaks of rain. One of the system is quite slow moving across

:48:03. > :48:07.the UK, but then it will get barged out of the way by more active

:48:08. > :48:10.weather systems. Spells of rain next week, going to become quite windy.

:48:11. > :48:14.We may have some severe gales towards the end of the week. The

:48:15. > :48:18.wind often coming in from the south-west, so it will be quite a

:48:19. > :48:21.mild week compared with what we have seen. I think frost will be fairly

:48:22. > :48:25.rare, particularly late in the week. That's how the weather is shaping

:48:26. > :48:33.up. Thank you, unsettled but mild.

:48:34. > :48:40.It is 8:48am. The veteran British actor Sir John Hurt has died at the

:48:41. > :48:42.age of 77, after battling pancreatic cancer.

:48:43. > :48:45.After yesterday's meeting with Theresa May, Donald Trump is due to

:48:46. > :48:50.speak to Vladimir Putin later. For the first time in about 40

:48:51. > :48:53.years, the Government is planning a scheme to recruit specialist maths

:48:54. > :48:55.and physics teachers from abroad. It is willing to pay up

:48:56. > :48:58.to ?300,000 to attract people from Czech Republic,

:48:59. > :49:00.Germany, Poland and the US in the hope it will help schools

:49:01. > :49:02.to fill vacant posts. Joining us now is Malcolm Trobe,

:49:03. > :49:07.acting general secretary of the Association of School

:49:08. > :49:23.and College Leaders, a union And we are hoping to speak to Patsy

:49:24. > :49:27.Kane, with a secondary school in Greater Manchester.

:49:28. > :49:31.Explain to us the problem they are trying to address.

:49:32. > :49:37.The problem basically is we have a national shortage of teachers around

:49:38. > :49:42.the country. In some subjects, maths and science, maths and physics

:49:43. > :49:48.particularly, the shortage is acute. But it is a national problem. In

:49:49. > :49:51.some parts of the country they are saying recruitment is that crisis

:49:52. > :49:55.level. Why? Quite simply we don't have enough

:49:56. > :50:01.teachers in the system. We're not training enough teachers, the

:50:02. > :50:08.retention rate is not as high as it should be, and so we are finding we

:50:09. > :50:12.have a significant shortage, as I say, particularly in maths, science

:50:13. > :50:16.and modern languages. Surely we must have seen this coming? Yes, there's

:50:17. > :50:19.always a time lag when you have to deal with the sort of difficulties

:50:20. > :50:22.because you have to get people through the degree system and

:50:23. > :50:28.through the training system, in terms of preparation. So we've not

:50:29. > :50:31.been recruiting teachers over the last four or five years, so the

:50:32. > :50:37.problem has simply got to severe level.

:50:38. > :50:41.Does it make sense, then, to look elsewhere and recruit from overseas?

:50:42. > :50:45.Yes, we have traditionally always brought in teachers, often

:50:46. > :50:48.Australia, New Zealand and Canada, we have a good reputation in terms

:50:49. > :50:52.of bringing teachers from over there. And we do recruit from EC

:50:53. > :50:58.countries at the moment. So it is good the government is actually

:50:59. > :51:03.taking action here, to recruit. But it's not actually an aspirational

:51:04. > :51:06.target. To recruit 50 teachers when we have over 3000 secondary schools,

:51:07. > :51:12.it's going to have an impact on less than 2% of the schools. As we say,

:51:13. > :51:17.the problem is really severe. It needs action. We as a profession

:51:18. > :51:20.wants with the government come out with an overarching strategy to deal

:51:21. > :51:24.with this problem. It's an interesting time to be talking about

:51:25. > :51:27.bringing in people from other countries to do jobs here, given

:51:28. > :51:31.everything that's happening with Brexit? We don't know what the

:51:32. > :51:36.impact of Brexit would be. Rules that are set up yet to be

:51:37. > :51:45.determined. At the we do use teachers from it easy. When vote

:51:46. > :51:48.leaves came through it created a bit of uncertainty with EC teachers who

:51:49. > :51:53.are currently working in the system. We've yet to see what the impact

:51:54. > :51:57.will be and what the rules will be, but we certainly at the moment need

:51:58. > :52:01.those teachers helping to build up their teaching community that we've

:52:02. > :52:04.got in the country. Do you have any concerns about the quality of the

:52:05. > :52:10.teaching? The impression is your slightly desperate, thinking, where

:52:11. > :52:14.is there a maths teacher? Anyone, come in and teach maths here. Is

:52:15. > :52:18.there a worry about standards? Yes, you have to ensure you are getting

:52:19. > :52:25.high-quality teachers coming in. What we would do is have a programme

:52:26. > :52:28.of adjustment, teaching about the English system, to ensure there are

:52:29. > :52:32.aware of what the teaching methodologies that are used in this

:52:33. > :52:38.country, and how they work within the English system. There needs to

:52:39. > :52:41.be a conversion programme, a conversion course, as part of their

:52:42. > :52:46.induction. Surely that there's more we could be doing here as well?

:52:47. > :52:53.Absolutely. That's why we say we want an overarching strategy, we

:52:54. > :52:56.want to work the government to do this. We need to simplify the routes

:52:57. > :53:00.into training at the moment. We need to promote teaching more as a

:53:01. > :53:03.profession. We've seen some advertising campaigns, but we need

:53:04. > :53:08.to build up better links with universities and schools, in order

:53:09. > :53:12.to get undergraduate and to enthuse about teaching. They've all been

:53:13. > :53:16.taught and inspired at some stage in their life by teachers. What about

:53:17. > :53:26.people who aren't young and newly qualified but taking people move

:53:27. > :53:31.perhaps had other careers. That's what schools lack, where people have

:53:32. > :53:37.used maths or science in their jobs? We don't just want to recruit at 22.

:53:38. > :53:43.In fact, the average age coming into teaching is now, I think it's just

:53:44. > :53:48.under 30. So we are recruiting people with significant experience,

:53:49. > :53:51.that have not just come straight through the pipeline of university,

:53:52. > :53:56.training course and straight into teaching. It's important to bring

:53:57. > :53:57.that industrial, business knowledge and experience into teaching. Thank

:53:58. > :54:03.you very much, Malcolm. He is best known as the monarch that

:54:04. > :54:07.went mad but has history misjudged Thousands of documents

:54:08. > :54:10.are being made available for the first time with a view

:54:11. > :54:13.to learning more about Britain's The project is also

:54:14. > :54:16.the subject of a new documentary and we will be speaking

:54:17. > :54:18.to Daily Mail journalist and historian Robert

:54:19. > :54:20.Hardman in a moment. First, here is a look at one

:54:21. > :54:25.of the most important discoveries. George, at the end of the line,

:54:26. > :54:28.try to work out what you do with this inability to form

:54:29. > :54:31.a government which he can He wants to be the person

:54:32. > :54:37.who ends party, brings together the most able,

:54:38. > :54:39.to work in the national interest. What this speech is basically

:54:40. > :54:43.saying is, "I've failed". What we see here, he's really

:54:44. > :54:46.troubled here, isn't he? There's a lot of free drafting

:54:47. > :54:53.and crossing out going on. This is written in a state

:54:54. > :54:57.of high agitation, I think. You do get a sense of the troubled

:54:58. > :55:05.mind, the blotches on the scrawling and the scratchings out and we begin

:55:06. > :55:09.to come to the end of the line, "I am therefore resolved to resign

:55:10. > :55:13.my Crown and all the dominions appertaining to it to the Prince

:55:14. > :55:15.of Wales, my eldest son and lawful successor,

:55:16. > :55:18.and to retire to the care Daily Mail journalist and historian

:55:19. > :55:31.Robert Hardman joins us now. What a delight, to even see those

:55:32. > :55:34.things. Set the scene for us. The cameras have been allowed into this

:55:35. > :55:41.place. This is Windsor Castle, a vault. The Royal archive, where they

:55:42. > :55:45.put all the royal treasures. If you look at Windsor Castle, the big

:55:46. > :55:50.tower at the top, at the top of that is the Royal archives, where they

:55:51. > :55:53.put all the papers and documents of every monarch, including our current

:55:54. > :55:57.queen. We were allowed in there, the first time camera crews have been

:55:58. > :56:00.allowed in properly, ever, to look at these extraordinary papers of

:56:01. > :56:05.George III. They will be available to the public as of next week. They

:56:06. > :56:09.are going on a new website. We were allowed in to watch that process

:56:10. > :56:21.happening and it is extraordinary. This is inside the Royal

:56:22. > :56:24.archives academics who always dreams of being able to look at these

:56:25. > :56:26.papers. They are finally being allowed in for their first rummage

:56:27. > :56:28.in these historic documents. Hundreds of thousands of documents.

:56:29. > :56:31.The results, it will take many years before they are all put online and

:56:32. > :56:34.digitised but we were able to see it get under way. It was extraordinary

:56:35. > :56:37.to see papers like abdication documents, private letters, to hold

:56:38. > :56:42.them in your hand, and that's what's going on here. Why do you think you

:56:43. > :56:47.were allowed, what's changed? These are papers that have basically sat

:56:48. > :56:51.in boxes for over 200 years. A few years ago the Queen decided to allow

:56:52. > :56:55.Queen Victoria's journals to be digitalised. That was a great

:56:56. > :57:00.success. So they thought, let's let George III, let's open him up.

:57:01. > :57:06.History has been very unkind to George III. They the only thing

:57:07. > :57:10.people know about him is he went mad and lost America. Is the Queen

:57:11. > :57:15.looking around some of her great great great great grandfather's

:57:16. > :57:19.papers. Those letters, we saw the one right at the beginning. What

:57:20. > :57:22.clues that they give us to what George III, what was really going on

:57:23. > :57:27.in his head? What did you learn? I think we learned stress of kingship

:57:28. > :57:30.in this period. This was a period when the whole world was in turmoil.

:57:31. > :57:35.He's just lost the war of independence in America, he's just

:57:36. > :57:40.lost a child, all his politicians squabbling scream scheming, he

:57:41. > :57:44.thinks everyone is corrupt and out to get him so he writes this

:57:45. > :57:49.extraordinary letter of application. You drew attention to the scrawls,

:57:50. > :57:53.the bits crossed out, is musing and writing as he goes. He had no

:57:54. > :57:57.secretary, he sat down... We find this time and time again in the

:57:58. > :58:01.documents, the amount of detail and anguish that goes into these letters

:58:02. > :58:05.on these documents. It's quite extraordinary. We think of the

:58:06. > :58:08.abdication of Henry VIII, but this is a king that twice drafted an

:58:09. > :58:12.abdication, never got round to it and went on to be the longest

:58:13. > :58:17.reigning king we ever had. He saw the application there but he reigned

:58:18. > :58:21.for another 30 years. And had 15 children. One of the big fines is

:58:22. > :58:24.the lock of hair. Very early on we were going through some of the

:58:25. > :58:28.papers from Queen Charlotte, his wife. Out of nowhere pops this

:58:29. > :58:33.letter with a little envelope in it. We open it up and it is a lock of

:58:34. > :58:38.hair of Prince Alfred, child number 14, he died very young. We can have

:58:39. > :58:43.a look at that moment now. It's a short note from Queen

:58:44. > :58:53.Charlotte to Lady Charlotte finch, the governess. With a little paper

:58:54. > :59:01.included. Just labelled, Prince Alfred's hair, cut during his...

:59:02. > :59:10.Illness. 1782, at the lower Lodge, Windsor. And then a lock of Prince

:59:11. > :59:18.Alfred, little Prince Alfred who died, a little golden lock of his

:59:19. > :59:23.hair. For her to remember him by an thanking him for looking after him.

:59:24. > :59:28.That is amazing to see. I must ask you whilst you are here, President

:59:29. > :59:30.Trump met Theresa May yesterday and Theresa May announced President

:59:31. > :59:35.Trump will be coming here to meet the Queen. That is going to be a big

:59:36. > :59:39.moment, isn't it? A very big moment. The Queen has met

:59:40. > :59:44.all the great world leaders since pretty much the Second World War. It

:59:45. > :59:47.was I suppose inevitable a new president would come, but that he is

:59:48. > :59:51.coming so soon is very interesting. The question is, where will he be

:59:52. > :59:54.hosted? Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle?

:59:55. > :59:58.There could be some breaks the protocol.

:59:59. > :59:59.They are saying maybe Balmoral for the golf but I don't think now what

:00:00. > :00:03.happened. Great to see you. George III - The Genius

:09:45. > :09:47.We will be analysing the trip from both perspectives in a moment

:09:48. > :09:58.but first, here is a recap of some of the key moments.

:09:59. > :10:06.This is the original, folks, in many ways.

:10:07. > :10:10.It's a great honour to have Winston Churchill back.

:10:11. > :10:13.Today, the United States renews our deep bond with Britain -

:10:14. > :10:18.military, financial, cultural and political.

:10:19. > :10:24.We pledge our lasting support to this most special relationship.

:10:25. > :10:27.On defence and security cooperation, we are united in our recognition

:10:28. > :10:29.of Nato as the bulwark of our collective defence.

:10:30. > :10:31.Today, we have reaffirmed our unshakeable commitment

:10:32. > :10:36.I think Brexit is going to be a wonderful thing for your country.

:10:37. > :10:38.I have been listening to the president and the president

:10:39. > :10:41.has listened to me, that is the point of

:10:42. > :10:45.I can tell how I will get along with somebody very early,

:10:46. > :10:52.and I believe we are going to have a fantastic relationship.

:10:53. > :10:54.We are joined on the sofa by the journalist and political

:10:55. > :11:02.analyst Carol Gould and from our London newsroom by the Independent's

:11:03. > :11:08.We were just seeing some of the key moments and lots of talk about the

:11:09. > :11:13.special relationship. How do you think it went? It went well, but

:11:14. > :11:17.Theresa May needs Trump, because she is in a lot of hot water here with

:11:18. > :11:24.the controversy over Brexit, the Supreme Court decision, the ongoing

:11:25. > :11:30.public discourse about it. So she needs an ally. I hate to say it, but

:11:31. > :11:34.he doesn't really need her. That is what came across to me even before

:11:35. > :11:39.this meeting, that she needed to get to the States to meet him, to make

:11:40. > :11:45.this acquaintance. In my estimation, I don't think it will be like Ronald

:11:46. > :11:49.Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. The fact that he admitted that he

:11:50. > :11:53.supports Nato is a shift from his campaign rhetoric, when he said Nato

:11:54. > :11:56.was a waste of time. That was an interesting moment in the press

:11:57. > :12:04.conference, because effectively, Theresa May spoke for him. She said,

:12:05. > :12:08.I think you said you are 100% behind Nato, and he didn't say that himself

:12:09. > :12:14.in the press conference. A lot of people have said he was effectively

:12:15. > :12:17.on his best behaviour. That's right, she couldn't have done that with Her

:12:18. > :12:20.Majesty the Queen because of confidentiality, but that was a

:12:21. > :12:27.clever move. He would likely have said it to her in a private session,

:12:28. > :12:33.and then she threw it at him. She forced him to be on his best

:12:34. > :12:39.behaviour, as you said. He is going to have to have allies in the Senate

:12:40. > :12:42.to get through some of the programmes he will have discussed

:12:43. > :12:46.with her. He is a bilateral list, not a multilateralist. That is why

:12:47. > :12:52.the first thing he did was to get rub Trans-Pacific Partnership. Then

:12:53. > :12:56.he will try and dismantle Nafta, the North American Free Trade Agreement

:12:57. > :12:59.with Mexico and Canada. People need people like Bernie Sanders, who was

:13:00. > :13:04.a huge voice in the Senate. He has been in Washington 20 years. People

:13:05. > :13:08.say, who cares about Bernie Sanders any more?. Bernie Sanders was for

:13:09. > :13:21.getting rid of TPP, and he was for getting rid of Nafta. Let's turn to

:13:22. > :13:26.John Rentoul from the Independent. We were talking about some of the

:13:27. > :13:31.domestic policies in the US, but we had that moment when Laura

:13:32. > :13:34.Kuenssberg from the BBC presented it directly to the President, some of

:13:35. > :13:37.the things people might find less palatable about why he said about

:13:38. > :13:41.abortion and torture amongst other things. And that prompted an

:13:42. > :13:47.interesting reaction from him. Absolutely, he really didn't like

:13:48. > :13:56.it. He sort of turned to Theresa May and said, this is your question,

:13:57. > :13:59.that is another relationship gone. But in a sense, that was fine,

:14:00. > :14:05.because he was saying to Theresa May, my goodness, your media is just

:14:06. > :14:12.as bad as my media, we do have something in common after all. One

:14:13. > :14:16.of the things that stood out to me was the fact that Theresa May said,

:14:17. > :14:22.there is much of which we agree. Carol, do you think there is? There

:14:23. > :14:25.is, but on the issue of torture, I wouldn't have thought she agrees

:14:26. > :14:27.with him. I remember when Donald Rumsfeld, the former Defence

:14:28. > :14:32.Secretary, used to use an expression, we visit with them,

:14:33. > :14:38.which is a euphemism for what we do to people who are extraordinarily

:14:39. > :14:41.rendered. Extraordinary rendition was the practice of taking prisoners

:14:42. > :14:45.to country where torture was allowed. I don't think Theresa May

:14:46. > :14:49.is going to agree with President Trump on that. There will be a

:14:50. > :14:56.couple of other issues on which they will disagree. But in a broad sense,

:14:57. > :14:58.she has to handle Brexit. He's getting rid of multilateral

:14:59. > :15:04.agreements, which puts him in a position like Britain in Europe. The

:15:05. > :15:08.US is out of international trade agreements and it will require a lot

:15:09. > :15:14.of work. He may even call on her for advice. John, some huge issues on

:15:15. > :15:16.the table, but to be fair, you will notice from your newspaper

:15:17. > :15:19.experience. Here is one picture that dominated this morning, and that was

:15:20. > :15:25.that moment as they were walking around the White House and Donald

:15:26. > :15:30.Trump took Theresa May's hand. Just for a couple of seconds. That is

:15:31. > :15:36.going to be an enduring image. It is. But in a way, I am not sure that

:15:37. > :15:43.will be as bad for Theresa May as a journalists assume. We did a poll

:15:44. > :15:46.for the Independent the other day about asking people whether Theresa

:15:47. > :15:50.May should be trying to pursue a closer relationship with Donald

:15:51. > :15:55.Trump and there are a lot of people opposed to it, but more people

:15:56. > :15:58.thought she was right to pursue a close relationship with the

:15:59. > :16:01.president of the United States. I think people will take a pragmatic

:16:02. > :16:09.view of that. The holding hands was a symbolic moment to capture that

:16:10. > :16:15.relationship. I think it would be Theresa May nothing but good. The

:16:16. > :16:18.whole visit for her was a triumph. All the gossip in Westminster was

:16:19. > :16:22.about how terrified her inner circle were that something was going to go

:16:23. > :16:26.wrong, that Donald Trump was going to say something untoward in the

:16:27. > :16:32.news conference. As Carol said, he was as meek as a lamb. One of the

:16:33. > :16:36.other relationships that will come under scrutiny is with Russia, and

:16:37. > :16:39.that was mentioned by Theresa May and President Trump yesterday, with

:16:40. > :16:42.Theresa May being clear about the sanctions against Russia. But

:16:43. > :16:47.President Trump was not being very committal about it. We know he will

:16:48. > :16:53.talk to Vladimir Putin later, so how significant is that? He is going to

:16:54. > :17:07.talk to Vladimir Putin tomorrow. You have to remember that he still has

:17:08. > :17:09.to consult. There is a concept of consent in the Senate and Congress,

:17:10. > :17:14.and there are Republicans who don't agree with President Trump. So he is

:17:15. > :17:19.going to talk to Putin, but we don't know what his colleagues will say.

:17:20. > :17:23.He has to consult the Cabinet, the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He thinks

:17:24. > :17:26.he's going to be an emperor and just do what he wants, executive order

:17:27. > :17:33.after executive order, like he has done this week. But at some point,

:17:34. > :17:40.the idea of consulting Congress is going to be important. And don't

:17:41. > :17:46.underestimate the power of the doyens of Congress, John McCain and

:17:47. > :17:50.Bernie Sanders, who are highly respected. He can't toss them aside.

:17:51. > :17:55.And Dick Cheney, the former vice president, came out yesterday and

:17:56. > :17:58.said unequivocally, Republicans and Conservatives cannot have a ban on

:17:59. > :18:02.people coming here from Muslim countries. We have to leave it

:18:03. > :18:18.there. Thank you both. Chris is here with the weather. Good

:18:19. > :18:21.morning. We are finally coming out from the deep freeze. We had lots of

:18:22. > :18:28.frost and fog in the last week, but temperatures are rising. For many of

:18:29. > :18:31.us, it is a mild start of the day. The reason for the changes that we

:18:32. > :18:37.have an area of low pressure that is bringing some rain. Still some cold

:18:38. > :18:40.air with this in Scotland. So we have seen some of the rainfall as

:18:41. > :18:54.smoke over the higher ground, most of which has been over 300 metres in

:18:55. > :18:58.elevation. Nevertheless, some of the A routes could be affected by snow.

:18:59. > :19:01.There could be slippery conditions here for a time. The rain will be

:19:02. > :19:06.slow to clear away from northern parts. Further south, the rain will

:19:07. > :19:10.clear, followed by sunshine and showers this afternoon. The showers

:19:11. > :19:17.will not last because there will be brisk winds bringing relatively mild

:19:18. > :19:22.air. It will stay quite cold in northern England. Brighter skies in

:19:23. > :19:27.Northern Ireland. In Scotland, the rain and hill snow will be reluctant

:19:28. > :19:31.to clear away. Overnight, the rain does ease off, followed by some

:19:32. > :19:36.showers. They will fall as snow over the higher ground in Scotland and

:19:37. > :19:41.over the Pennines as well. It touch of frost in rural parts. Towards

:19:42. > :19:44.Wales and south-west England, it will turn milder later in the night

:19:45. > :19:48.as the next Atlantic system begins to move in. For the second half of

:19:49. > :19:52.the weekend, more rain on the way. After a bright start to the day,

:19:53. > :19:57.more rain will move in and that band of wet weather will continue to push

:19:58. > :20:02.northwards and eastwards. But it is not reaching Scotland. Here, it is a

:20:03. > :20:10.decent day, but quite cold. Milder in the south-west. In the week

:20:11. > :20:13.ahead, it will be unsettled. Slow-moving weather fronts are

:20:14. > :20:16.crossing the UK initially. Later in the week, we will see more oomph

:20:17. > :20:31.from these weather systems moving in of the Atlantic. Spells of rain,

:20:32. > :20:32.certainly. But by and large, frost will become quite rare, certainly

:20:33. > :20:39.towards the end of next week. It's time now

:20:40. > :20:41.for a look at the newspapers. Guardian film critic

:20:42. > :20:53.Peter Bradshaw is here to tell us A lot of people are waking up to the

:20:54. > :20:58.news that Sir John Hurt has died at 77 years old. A lot of reflections

:20:59. > :21:01.on a remarkable career. A remarkable career. I have been thinking about

:21:02. > :21:04.the wonderful roles he has played. The generation of children have

:21:05. > :21:09.grown up with him as Mr Ollivander as the proprietor of the magic wand

:21:10. > :21:13.shop in the Harry Potter movies. I remember him in so many roles.

:21:14. > :21:15.Obviously, John Merrick in The Elephant Man, his extraordinary

:21:16. > :21:22.performance that he had to sell just with his incredible voice. That

:21:23. > :21:28.delicate, quavering, but courageous voice of a survivor. But for me, his

:21:29. > :21:34.absolute masterpiece is the movie Scandal, about the Profumo affair,

:21:35. > :21:40.where he played the osteopath Doctor Stephen Ward and Ian McKellen played

:21:41. > :21:44.Profumo. And Joanne Whalley played Christine Keeler. And John Hurt

:21:45. > :21:50.nailed it. He embodied everything he wanted to embody. He nailed British

:21:51. > :21:57.snobbery and fear of sex and everything about that made such a

:21:58. > :22:02.great satire, a great anatomy of the British ruling classes then, as now.

:22:03. > :22:11.It was encapsulated by John Hurt's brilliant performance. It is worth

:22:12. > :22:15.downloading it right now. On that recommendation, I am sure a lot of

:22:16. > :22:20.people will be revisiting his films. You have been looking at the papers.

:22:21. > :22:26.Where are you starting? The Daily Mirror. A good old-fashioned social

:22:27. > :22:33.interest story on homelessness in Britain. Homelessness has doubled in

:22:34. > :22:41.the last two years. There is a stunning statistic in this report.

:22:42. > :22:47.There are around 4000 people on the streets. It was under 2000 two years

:22:48. > :22:52.ago. There are a number of different determinant factor is for this.

:22:53. > :22:55.Mental health cuts and so on, problems with housing, people who

:22:56. > :23:01.are vulnerably housed and the rest of it. But we have all seen homeless

:23:02. > :23:05.people that we walked past, particularly in cities. And now with

:23:06. > :23:16.the weather so terrible, minus two degrees, this is a terrific story.

:23:17. > :23:22.It is a classic Mirror story, good old-fashioned social justice. Let's

:23:23. > :23:27.look at a story from the Daily Express. This is about everyone's

:23:28. > :23:31.utter dependence, our hypnosis when it comes to sat-nav. Wendy sat-nav

:23:32. > :23:35.is switched on, we become mesmerised by the voice saying go 300 yards

:23:36. > :23:42.forward and then turn right. And this voice tells us what to do and

:23:43. > :23:46.we abandon our common. What is happening is that truckers get told

:23:47. > :23:52.what to do by sat-navs which are designed for tiny little country

:23:53. > :23:56.lanes. The Express has a funny gallery of pictures of trucks which

:23:57. > :24:01.literally jammed into these winding little byways. And it is true. We

:24:02. > :24:07.are all mesmerised by sat-navs. We think they know. So the idea is that

:24:08. > :24:12.they should have their own special sat-navs. But also, use your common

:24:13. > :24:15.sense. If the lane in front of you is flooded and you as an experienced

:24:16. > :24:18.driver think, I can't drive into that without getting into trouble,

:24:19. > :24:25.then don't be overridden by this voice telling you to drive on. The

:24:26. > :24:29.local Government Association once legislation on this now, for lorries

:24:30. > :24:33.to have specific sat-navs for them. It is horrible, but they are funny

:24:34. > :24:38.pictures in the Express of huge trucks getting jammed in tiny

:24:39. > :24:41.country lanes. To the world of photography now and trends with

:24:42. > :24:46.cameras. I never thought I would live to see the day. I am as the

:24:47. > :24:49.addicted to everyone else to taking pictures on my smartphone because of

:24:50. > :24:52.all the filters you can use which can surely approximate everything

:24:53. > :24:56.that an old-fashioned roll camera can take? No. Kodak have reported

:24:57. > :25:01.that people are crying out for old-fashioned roll films. And in the

:25:02. > :25:07.world of film too, people still want celluloid. They think it has a

:25:08. > :25:13.warmth and a richness and a colour tone which digital can't match. Do

:25:14. > :25:18.we liken it to people wanting to buy vinyl? Partly that, yes. Whether or

:25:19. > :25:27.not it is rational, people still want vinyl. Kodak are hard-headed

:25:28. > :25:30.business people. They wouldn't do it if they didn't think it wasn't

:25:31. > :25:37.profitable. They are going to bring back rolls of film. I am a bad

:25:38. > :25:41.photographer, but one of the things that having film in economic is that

:25:42. > :25:44.it makes you think about what pictures you are taking. If you take

:25:45. > :25:53.as many as you like, you don't think. I remember when you only had

:25:54. > :25:56.34 exposures, and you would save it and come back from your holiday and

:25:57. > :26:01.go to the chemist. Is all of that going to make a comeback? Maybe it

:26:02. > :26:08.is. And the fish and chip revolution. Yes, the FT is reporting

:26:09. > :26:14.from the national fish and chip championships, which I never knew

:26:15. > :26:19.existed. The revolution is that more and more people are eating fish and

:26:20. > :26:24.chips. It is up 4% in the last year. You would think that with burgers

:26:25. > :26:28.and Vietnamese food and sushi, no one would be interested in fish and

:26:29. > :26:34.chips. No. People are really into fish and chips! Is it comfort food,

:26:35. > :26:39.something to do with Brexit? There is a new phenomenon known as dining

:26:40. > :26:42.down, and I are going back to fish and chips. I haven't had

:26:43. > :26:49.old-fashioned fish and chips for a while. I used to love them with too

:26:50. > :26:53.much salt and vinegar, and it getting too cold and three quarters

:26:54. > :27:00.of the way through, and continuing to eat it. You would power through.

:27:01. > :27:02.I love it. And the best chips from Whitby, without a doubt lovely to

:27:03. > :27:03.see you. We're on BBC One until ten

:27:04. > :27:07.o'clock this morning, when Angela Hartnett takes over

:27:08. > :27:15.in the Saturday Kitchen. With all that talk about food, I bet

:27:16. > :27:18.there was not fish and chips on the menu there? No fish and chips this

:27:19. > :27:26.morning. We have a few other delights for you. Our special guest

:27:27. > :27:32.today is a fabulous food writer and critic, Tom Parker Bowles. Feeling

:27:33. > :27:38.very good this morning. Bright and early. Not as early as me. What is

:27:39. > :27:48.your food heaven? Broth, consomme, the essence of the animal. Delicious

:27:49. > :27:52.soup. And your food hell? Goats cheese. We have some amazing chefs

:27:53. > :28:01.as well, Ken Hom, to celebrate Chinese new year. How are you? Ready

:28:02. > :28:07.to go. What are you going to cook? Session one dumplings, as I know Tom

:28:08. > :28:12.likes spicy food. And steamed salmon with black bean sauce. And Adam,

:28:13. > :28:18.your first time on Saturday Kitchen. Feeling good? I am excited. Nervous,

:28:19. > :28:22.but looking forward to it. You are going to be fine. You have to do

:28:23. > :28:26.some delicious beef for us. We have already had beef, salmon and

:28:27. > :28:30.dumplings. Tune in and see you at ten o'clock. We will do.

:28:31. > :28:40.Heartbreak, separation and living in the present.

:28:41. > :28:43.Singer-songwriter Ryan Adams will be here to tell us

:28:44. > :29:56.Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Steph McGovern.

:29:57. > :29:57.Coming up before ten we'll have an update

:30:21. > :31:07.Tributes have been pouring in online.

:31:08. > :31:11.Let's have a look at the other news this morning.

:31:12. > :31:14.Theresa May and Donald Trump have stressed their commitment to Nato

:31:15. > :31:17.The Prime Minister and the President both reiterated

:31:18. > :31:20.the importance of the special relationship in the first visit

:31:21. > :31:22.of a foreign leader to Washington since Donald Trump's inauguration.

:31:23. > :31:25.Theresa May urged the United States not to lift

:31:26. > :31:30.The US President is due to speak to Vladimir Putin today.

:31:31. > :31:35.I will be representing the American people very,

:31:36. > :31:37.very strongly, very forcefully, and if we have

:31:38. > :31:42.a great relationship with Russia and other countries,

:31:43. > :31:45.and if we go after Isis together, which has to be stopped,

:31:46. > :31:49.that's an evil that has to be stopped, I will consider that a good

:31:50. > :31:58.Following her trip to Washington, Theresa May is now on her way

:31:59. > :32:00.to Turkey for talks with President Erdogan.

:32:01. > :32:02.The talks are expected to focus on trade and security

:32:03. > :32:05.but she's facing pressure to discuss concerns about alleged human

:32:41. > :32:50.Those are the main stories this morning.

:32:51. > :32:59.Mike is here. Did you just spritz some aftershave?

:33:00. > :33:05.That is just my natural aroma! You smell lovely.

:33:06. > :33:10.I've been watching the tennis. We are not in an episode of Doctor Who,

:33:11. > :33:15.it's not 2009, its 2017 and the Williams sisters are in another

:33:16. > :33:20.grand slam final. As you would expect, Serena is on top, chasing

:33:21. > :33:25.that record, the 23rd grand slam title that would take her beyond

:33:26. > :33:31.Steffi Graf's total. Serena went into this game against Venus, for

:33:32. > :33:35.the first time in eight years, as firm favourites,

:33:36. > :33:38.as she tries to win a record breaking 23rd grand slam title.

:33:39. > :33:40.Serena hasn't lost a set so far at this Australian Open,

:33:41. > :33:43.and she broke her sister's serve early on to seize the early

:33:44. > :33:47.However, if anyone is able to tame the Serena serve,

:33:48. > :33:51.But Serena, who has won more of their matches to date,

:33:52. > :33:54.was able to seize the initiative with her greater power and took

:33:55. > :34:02.that shows how close it was, that it took that time to get the first set.

:34:03. > :34:05.Lets get the latest from Melbourne and speak to our tennis

:34:06. > :34:12.As someone who watches the game all the time, put it in context for ask

:34:13. > :34:20.how surprising is we are witnessing this throwback final mark --? Very

:34:21. > :34:23.surprising. If you did a survey of everyone who works in tennis I don't

:34:24. > :34:26.think anyone would have picked this to be the final on the last day of

:34:27. > :34:29.the tournament. Venus Williams hasn't been in a grand slam final

:34:30. > :34:37.for eight years. They haven't played each other for that long at this

:34:38. > :34:42.sort of stage. Venus Williams, aged 36, not young for a tennis player

:34:43. > :34:44.and she has had real health difficulties, a fatiguing illness

:34:45. > :34:48.for many years now. She hasn't really looks like getting to this

:34:49. > :34:53.stage of a tournament for a long, long time. But she is here on merit.

:34:54. > :34:58.She's having a fantastic run. Serena Williams, this is much more familiar

:34:59. > :35:01.for her. As you say, going for history today. If she can win this

:35:02. > :35:11.match, she moves ahead of Steffi Graf. It would be a monumental

:35:12. > :35:14.achievement from her and she has the first set on the board, 6-4. It is

:35:15. > :35:16.more competitive in the second set. 2-1. A strange atmosphere, two

:35:17. > :35:20.sisters who love each other trying to beat each other. That's amazing

:35:21. > :35:24.on its own, then you add the fact tomorrow we have this retro men's

:35:25. > :35:31.final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Absolutely. 36, Nadal, he

:35:32. > :35:36.beat Grigor Dimitrov in five hours last night, amazing match. Roger

:35:37. > :35:40.Federer, aged 35. This is a grand slam final that we always remember.

:35:41. > :35:46.Think of 2008, that's the only time the Venus and Serena Williams final

:35:47. > :35:50.and Federer and Nadal both happened at the same tournament. That was the

:35:51. > :35:55.greatest men's match I think we'd ever seen. We probably thought we

:35:56. > :35:58.would never seek Nadal and Federer in a grand slam final again, I

:35:59. > :36:02.certainly didn't expect to see it again. This is an extraordinary

:36:03. > :36:06.grand slam tournament, the Australian open, and one to cherish.

:36:07. > :36:12.What is it down to, that we've seen these two finals, the odds against

:36:13. > :36:16.which were 5001 at the start. Is it others of all like Murray and

:36:17. > :36:21.Djokovic or have they got there by their incredible stamina and able to

:36:22. > :36:25.-- ability to fight back? I think it's a combination. If you

:36:26. > :36:28.asked the majority of people in tennis virtually everyone thought it

:36:29. > :36:32.would be Djokovic and Murray in the final. I certainly thought that

:36:33. > :36:37.would be the case, given the last two or three years. But they lost

:36:38. > :36:40.early. They were fatigued, not really mentally fresh compared to

:36:41. > :36:45.Federer, who has had six months out because of injury. What it did it it

:36:46. > :36:48.refreshed him. He was so excited to be back on the circuit. But even he

:36:49. > :36:53.didn't think he would reach the final. He said, I might win a few

:36:54. > :36:57.matches but I've had six months off, how can I go all the way? Nadal has

:36:58. > :37:01.incrementally worked his way back and we have one for the ages

:37:02. > :37:03.tomorrow. David, thank you for the updates. We will keep you updated on

:37:04. > :37:07.that Williams final. The fourth round of the FA Cup got

:37:08. > :37:11.of to a flying start last night, with Championship side Derby

:37:12. > :37:13.going so close to upsetting their neighbours, the Premier League

:37:14. > :37:15.champions Leicester City. It began with a bizarre own goal,

:37:16. > :37:17.Darren Bent giving Leicester the lead with an awful slice

:37:18. > :37:19.into his own net. He did make amends,

:37:20. > :37:22.levelling for Derby, who then went ahead before half time

:37:23. > :37:25.and held on until four minutes from the end,

:37:26. > :37:28.when Wes Morgan forced a replay. The biggest giant killers

:37:29. > :37:34.from the last round, non league, Lincoln City,

:37:35. > :37:36.are hoping home advantage, will help them cause

:37:37. > :37:38.another big upset. Their manager Danny Cowley,

:37:39. > :37:41.says beating Ipswich of the Championship,

:37:42. > :37:43.in Round 3, was like climbing a mountain, and so thinks today's

:37:44. > :37:45.match against the leaders of the Championship, Brighton,

:37:46. > :37:48.is like trying to get to the moon. Niall McGinn, scored two

:37:49. > :37:51.goals and set up another, as Aberdeen beat Dundee 3-0

:37:52. > :37:54.in the Scottish Premiership. McGinn's volley

:37:55. > :37:58.on the stroke of half time The win moved Abderdeen

:37:59. > :38:05.above Rangers into second place in the table -

:38:06. > :38:07.but they're still 21 Now 8 miles of fire,

:38:08. > :38:11.freezing water, huge obstacles, muddy trenches and

:38:12. > :38:14.electric shocks... It's why thousands

:38:15. > :38:18.are flocking to the west Midlands this weekend,

:38:19. > :38:23.from all over the world. After 30 years, it's the final ever

:38:24. > :38:26.Tough Guy race this weekend, and it has led to hundreds of other

:38:27. > :38:30.extreme races being established. There's now even a movie out,

:38:31. > :38:33.to explore why so many want to do I've been on the course

:38:34. > :38:45.near Wolverhampton ahead It's the end of an era, on a farm in

:38:46. > :38:50.the West Midlands, where for decades people from around the world have

:38:51. > :38:57.come together. Why? To share the ultimate pain and fear. Pushing

:38:58. > :39:01.their bodies over eight miles to the extreme, but after this weekend,

:39:02. > :39:06.there will be no more Tough Guy. It's been a huge part of my life,

:39:07. > :39:11.for sure, it's changed my life. It's a huge part of my life that will

:39:12. > :39:17.cease to be. Hundreds of thousands of people have

:39:18. > :39:25.attempted this Tough Guy challenge in the last 30 years. But for this

:39:26. > :39:31.doing it this time, it will be the last ever.

:39:32. > :39:34.Behind it all, the man known as Mr mouse, a former soldier who 30 years

:39:35. > :39:39.ago wanted to add more of a challenge to fun runs and so

:39:40. > :39:44.reinvented the obstacle course. Keep going!

:39:45. > :39:50.This is mild compared to the electric shocks and fire.

:39:51. > :39:55.I decided to put people through something they hadn't seen in the

:39:56. > :39:59.past, fear, pain, claustrophobia, all the things you fear come and

:40:00. > :40:05.lived here. Then they come through and say, thank you.

:40:06. > :40:13.I cried, I was so unhappy... And you get this medal put around your neck.

:40:14. > :40:19.There's nothing else like it. I'm terrified, what can I say?

:40:20. > :40:23.But as Mr mouse brings the curtain down on this world-famous event he

:40:24. > :40:27.is the subject of a movie that look at why people of today willingly

:40:28. > :40:31.paid to experience such pain and suffering. If you can come with a

:40:32. > :40:36.fight club -esque scar on Monday morning and a story about what you

:40:37. > :40:45.did... Running through fire... It sounds awesome. Mr mouse's cultural

:40:46. > :40:48.impact is massive. All these things have exploded because of Tough Guy.

:40:49. > :40:51.Not many people know about it. I thought it was a really compelling

:40:52. > :40:55.story. To mark the final Tough Guy,

:40:56. > :40:59.competitors will be joined on the course by the star of the warhorse

:41:00. > :41:05.film. To remember the suffering that was for real in the trenches 100

:41:06. > :41:09.years ago. And thanks to what started here, obstacle racing is now

:41:10. > :41:15.one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
