:00:00. > :00:10.This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:11. > :00:13.The Brexit bill goes to the vote as MPs decide whether to give

:00:14. > :00:16.Theresa May the power to leave the EU.

:00:17. > :00:19.Last night, the Government saw off a possible rebellion after promising

:00:20. > :00:23.that any final deal will be put to the Commons.

:00:24. > :00:39.We'll be live at Westminster with the latest in the next few minutes.

:00:40. > :00:55.A damning report says a plan to free up hospital beds in England

:00:56. > :01:02.As campaigners demand tougher limits on the use of sexual history in rape

:01:03. > :01:05.cases, we'll hear one victim's story.

:01:06. > :01:11.It was awful, to be degraded in such a way and to be so totally

:01:12. > :01:13.humiliated. An overdraft could cost you five

:01:14. > :01:16.times more than a payday loan. I'm looking at the cost of quick

:01:17. > :01:19.cash and asking whether regulators After stepping down

:01:20. > :01:23.from the role, Alastair Cook says playing under another England

:01:24. > :01:30.captain will "not be an issue." A whirling, swooping,

:01:31. > :01:32.acrobatic spectacle of nature. As the season comes to an end,

:01:33. > :01:53.we'll be looking at the science Good morning. A cold start in the

:01:54. > :01:58.west. A risk of ice first thing. Sunshine and coastal showers. Cloud

:01:59. > :02:07.will drift into the central parts. And some showers will be wintry.

:02:08. > :02:10.More details in 15 minutes. Thank you, Carol. See you then.

:02:11. > :02:14.The bill empowering Theresa May to start the process of leaving

:02:15. > :02:18.the EU is due to reach its final stages in the Commons later.

:02:19. > :02:20.Last night, the Government saw off a potential rebellion

:02:21. > :02:22.from Conservative backbenchers, and defeated amendments put forward

:02:23. > :02:26.Here's our political correspondent, Tom Bateman.

:02:27. > :02:33.A battle for control over the process of Brexit. How much say will

:02:34. > :02:38.Parliament have? Last night, MPs ended more than seven hours of

:02:39. > :02:42.debate which contained what some saw as concessions from the government.

:02:43. > :02:45.I can confirm that the government will bring forward a motion on final

:02:46. > :02:50.agreement from both Houses of Parliament before it is concluded.

:02:51. > :02:55.In other words, MPs will get to vote on any future rigs a deal before it

:02:56. > :03:01.is signed off by the government and the EU. -- Brexit. But other

:03:02. > :03:06.negotiations will likely be complex. Some are worried about Theresa May's

:03:07. > :03:10.threat to walk away from the talks rather than take a bad deal. What

:03:11. > :03:15.the house wants is the opportunity to send the government back to our

:03:16. > :03:21.EU partners to negotiate a deal if one is not reached. Last night, the

:03:22. > :03:25.government saw off a number of attempts to starve Brexit. Some

:03:26. > :03:29.backbenchers remain unhappy about what the ministers offered.

:03:30. > :03:34.Divisions between those who argued for it and who campaigned against it

:03:35. > :03:46.were plain to see. The bill reaches its final stage later today, with

:03:47. > :03:48.more Tory backbencher debate. The government leaves it can trigger its

:03:49. > :03:54.next month. -- believes. Our political correspondent,

:03:55. > :04:04.Carol Walker, is in Westminster this After that series of victories by

:04:05. > :04:09.the government in their votes yesterday, it will hope to win

:04:10. > :04:13.another series of votes in Commons today. That gets it threw all its

:04:14. > :04:17.Commons stages before getting onto the Lord's. It will hope those

:04:18. > :04:22.convincing victories will persuade the Lord's not to change the bills

:04:23. > :04:28.too much and cause any problems for the government. The garden should be

:04:29. > :04:33.helped by the fact Jeremy Corbyn has ordered his MPs to support the

:04:34. > :04:37.legislation. -- Government. That has brought substantial rebellion. Three

:04:38. > :04:43.people from the shadow cabinet had to resign. Many eyes today will be

:04:44. > :04:49.on the Shadow Home Secretary, Diane Abbott, a key ally of Jeremy Corbyn.

:04:50. > :04:58.Last week some colleagues said this was no more than a case of Brexit

:04:59. > :05:01.flew. If she fails to turn up today, that will bring problems for the

:05:02. > :05:06.Labour Party and the government will be hopeful it can get the

:05:07. > :05:10.legislation through, trigger Article 50, and trigger negotiations by the

:05:11. > :05:12.end of March. Thank you very much for the moment.

:05:13. > :05:15.Plans to treat more patients in the community have so far failed

:05:16. > :05:17.to save money or reduce hospital admissions in England,

:05:18. > :05:19.according to the Government's spending watchdog.

:05:20. > :05:21.The National Audit Office says ministers were over-optimistic

:05:22. > :05:24.in thinking a scheme called the Better Care Fund could save ?500

:05:25. > :05:34.When residents of this care home in Sutton have to go to hospital,

:05:35. > :05:39.an innovative scheme helps cut their stay to a minimum.

:05:40. > :05:42.Their medical and personal details go with them in distinctive red bags

:05:43. > :05:45.so doctors and nurses can make faster and more

:05:46. > :05:52.It's been a great asset for us and we're

:05:53. > :05:59.able to pass the information on with a guarantee that it's

:06:00. > :06:06.going from ambulance to A to the ward.

:06:07. > :06:10.We have been able to choose the time by four days which is massive

:06:11. > :06:13.when you think about how stretched the system is at the moment.

:06:14. > :06:20.The National Audit Office says the spending of ?5 billion

:06:21. > :06:23.Starting in 2014-15, the scheme aimed to reduce

:06:24. > :06:36.an emergency admissions to hospital by more than 100,000.

:06:37. > :06:38.But in 2015-16, admissions actually went up by 87,000.

:06:39. > :06:40.Over the same period, the project was

:06:41. > :06:46.supposed to reduce the number of days lost by people stayed

:06:47. > :06:48.in hospital to just under 300,000 but

:06:49. > :06:55.The Public Accounts Committee wants long-term solutions rather than

:06:56. > :07:01.short-term funding. What is it that is

:07:02. > :07:03.stopping the beds being available even when there is some

:07:04. > :07:06.money being thrown at them, The government says it is too soon

:07:07. > :07:12.to judge the impact of the funding. Government lawyers in America have

:07:13. > :07:15.been trying to convince an appeals court to reinstate President Trump's

:07:16. > :07:18.ban on people from seven mainly Muslim countries entering

:07:19. > :07:19.the United States. They said Mr Trump was acting

:07:20. > :07:23.within his powers and that the court which suspended the ban

:07:24. > :07:25.last week made an error. But two US states argued it

:07:26. > :07:28.discriminated against Muslims. Our Washington correspondent,

:07:29. > :07:38.Richard Lister, has more details. Alleged rape victims shouldn't be

:07:39. > :07:40.cross-examined in court about their sexual history

:07:41. > :07:43.of appearance, according to an MP. Liz Saville Roberts wants

:07:44. > :07:45.to introduce a so-called "Rape Shield Law," which would

:07:46. > :07:48.prevent defence lawyers from routinely using a claimant's

:07:49. > :07:50.past sexual behaviour as evidence. The Ministry of Justice says the bar

:07:51. > :07:53.for disclosing such information is high, but they were

:07:54. > :07:55.listening to concerns. A rape victim told BBC Breakfast

:07:56. > :08:12.she was left humiliated The accused me of being someone who

:08:13. > :08:17.is miscue is. It is appalling. I was told that it is not allowed, it was

:08:18. > :08:18.resigned to the Dark Ages, a character annihilation.

:08:19. > :08:22.Plans to offer 30 hours of free childcare to three and four year

:08:23. > :08:25.olds in England could lead to a shortage of nursery places,

:08:26. > :08:29.The 15 hours per week children currently receive in term time

:08:30. > :08:33.is set to double from September, but more than half of councils told

:08:34. > :08:36.the Family and Childcare Trust that they were unsure their areas

:08:37. > :08:37.would have adequate provision to cope.

:08:38. > :08:40.The Department for Education says quality, affordable childcare

:08:41. > :08:45.The chairman of the Football Association has admitted

:08:46. > :08:48.that the organisation needs to change, and says he'll resign

:08:49. > :08:53.Greg Clarke's comments come ahead of a debate in Parliament tomorrow

:08:54. > :08:57.In December, five former FA chiefs called on the government

:08:58. > :09:00.to legislate to restructure the body, saying it was outdated,

:09:01. > :09:21.We have heard about the travel ban. But one other story. Does he wear

:09:22. > :09:29.dressing gowns? Quite an extraordinary story. Lots of old

:09:30. > :09:32.pictures of him wearing a bath robe has appeared on line. That is after

:09:33. > :09:41.his Press Secretary told journalists the president definitely does not

:09:42. > :09:44.wear one. The were subject to a meal times article suggesting he sits

:09:45. > :09:50.down watching Fox News in his dressing gown. -- New York Times. It

:09:51. > :09:57.is one of its most used phrases. Fake news. The president's latest

:09:58. > :10:03.spat with the media is over this, a bath robe, and whether he does or

:10:04. > :10:08.does not own one. This New York Times report described a chaotic

:10:09. > :10:10.start to his presidency. But it was the claim that Donald Trump spent

:10:11. > :10:15.considerable time watching television in his bathroom that

:10:16. > :10:22.seemed to particularly irritate the White House. That is literally the

:10:23. > :10:26.epitome of fake news. I mean, you start at the top, I don't think he

:10:27. > :10:31.owns a bath robe. He definitely does not wear one. From top to bottom it

:10:32. > :10:36.is a made up story that does not exist. The president tweeted, of

:10:37. > :10:39.course, his annoyance at what he described as poor reporting. And

:10:40. > :10:46.that bar for a denial prompted people across the globe to take to

:10:47. > :10:52.social media to contradict the White House. -- bathrobe. Some delved deep

:10:53. > :10:57.into archives to find these images. There were Donald Trump bathrobes as

:10:58. > :11:01.well. And it spawned parities. This picture of Ronald Reagan did the

:11:02. > :11:10.rounds. One tweet said he should not be so shy about wearing the garment.

:11:11. > :11:14.Many said that the government had more serious matters to discuss

:11:15. > :11:22.rather than his choice of loungewear. Interesting gown news. I

:11:23. > :11:29.love the Internet. Social media is brilliant. Do you have one? I like

:11:30. > :11:36.my one. I got one 15 years ago as a Christmas present and I never use

:11:37. > :11:40.it. You are missing out. Free and easy when I get out of the shower.

:11:41. > :11:51.Maybe you should not have said that. I like to let nature dry me. Every

:11:52. > :11:56.day! Stop. I will talk instead about Alastair Cook. Yesterday we spoke

:11:57. > :12:07.about him not being the captain any more. He actually looks quite sad in

:12:08. > :12:15.that picture. He did not look like a man with the burden lifted off the

:12:16. > :12:17.shoulders. Alastair Cook says he'll have "no

:12:18. > :12:21.issue" playing under another captain following his resignation

:12:22. > :12:22.as England Test skipper. Cook led his country

:12:23. > :12:25.in a record 59 Test matches. Batsman Joe Root is

:12:26. > :12:28.the frontrunner to replace him. Leicester City have given

:12:29. > :12:29.their "unwavering support" The reigning Premier League

:12:30. > :12:33.champions are just one point Leicester have managed just two wins

:12:34. > :12:37.in their last 15 league games, They play Derby tonight in an FA Cup

:12:38. > :12:40.fourth round replay. Fed Cup captain, Anne Keothavong,

:12:55. > :12:56.at Preston's Guild Hall after beating China's Yan

:12:57. > :12:58.Bing-tao last night. The Rocket will now play either

:12:59. > :13:15.Neil Robertson or Ricky Walden Have you recovered? Yes. Yes. We are

:13:16. > :13:21.over it now? Moving on. We will catch up with Carol. For once we

:13:22. > :13:25.have made sure she is on time. Good morning.

:13:26. > :13:37.I am in shock. Good morning. Yesterday, some of us had snow.

:13:38. > :13:42.Beautiful pictures. There is some snow in the forecast today but not

:13:43. > :13:46.all of us will see it. We will have a cloudy start in the east. Wintry

:13:47. > :13:52.flurries. In the west, a brighter start. A colder one. The risk of ice

:13:53. > :13:56.on untreated surfaces. High-pressure building in the south-west. This

:13:57. > :14:03.weather front is in the east. This is starting to make progress towards

:14:04. > :14:07.the west. Behind it, effectively, we will pull in this cold continental

:14:08. > :14:13.air. It will feel colder today than it did yesterday. We will start off

:14:14. > :14:17.where it is cold this morning. That is in parts of the west. Under

:14:18. > :14:22.clearer skies, temperatures have dropped. There is the risk of ice on

:14:23. > :14:26.untreated surfaces. The east, more cloud, some getting in central parts

:14:27. > :14:33.this morning. Patchy and light rain and drizzle. Again, up the east

:14:34. > :14:36.coast, a wintry element coming in. Western Scotland and Northern

:14:37. > :14:42.Ireland, clearer skies and the risk of ice and fog here and there.

:14:43. > :14:46.Nothing to substantial. Further snow in the Grampians today. In the east,

:14:47. > :14:50.especially over the high ground. During the day, that will come down

:14:51. > :14:54.a touch. We pull in this easterly wind and it will feel cold and some

:14:55. > :14:58.of the showers will have a wintry components to them. Down the east

:14:59. > :15:04.coast, highs of three and five. Something not as cold out towards

:15:05. > :15:08.the west, 7-8. Heading on through the evening and overnight, we hang

:15:09. > :15:12.on to this cold wind coming in from the continent. A southerly one out

:15:13. > :15:18.towards the west. Again, where we have clear skies, pockets of frost.

:15:19. > :15:22.More cloud towards the east. Not such a problem here. The odd pocket

:15:23. > :15:30.of fog as well. Again, nothing to substantial. Temperatures, below

:15:31. > :15:35.freezing. Now, as we head on through tomorrow, again, similar to today.

:15:36. > :15:39.Similar with no change. Some sunshine in the west. The east, wind

:15:40. > :15:45.coming in from the North Sea with an easterly direction. Once again

:15:46. > :15:53.tomorrow, showers, as especially coming in from the coast. Some will

:15:54. > :15:59.get inland. Along the coast, sleet and snow. Snow in the Grampians and

:16:00. > :16:05.possibly the Pennines as well, but not significant amounts. Fried a.

:16:06. > :16:13.More showers than this is showing. -- Friday. An easterly wind across

:16:14. > :16:17.the land. A cold day. Maximum temperatures between two and three.

:16:18. > :16:22.Once again, fairly cloudy, especially in eastern areas. Showers

:16:23. > :16:29.still with a wintry component. Snow in the Pennines and in the Grampians

:16:30. > :16:33.as well. Typical wintry weather, Dan and Lou. Thank you.

:20:33. > :20:40.for a knighthood and how cross he was when he didn't get one. After

:20:41. > :20:46.doing lots of work, he has been widely criticised by those e-mails.

:20:47. > :20:50.Paul Hayward made this point. The charity were key has done is all

:20:51. > :20:55.legitimate. He has spent a lot of time and donated millions of pounds

:20:56. > :20:59.of his own money. OK, he has lots and lots of cash but he has

:21:00. > :21:06.seriously... The will to do good came before the desire for the

:21:07. > :21:09.knighthood. There are other papers taking some completely different

:21:10. > :21:17.views. There is a real division about it. Definite damage to the

:21:54. > :21:56.MPs are set to give the government the green light to start

:21:57. > :21:59.the process of Brexit tonight. But triggering Article 50 is only

:23:05. > :23:11.leave the European Union. Your -- European Union... Order! That is why

:23:12. > :23:15.I am voting against this amendment, because ultimately it is a political

:23:16. > :23:23.matter. It is for the Prime Minister to demonstrate her leadership skills

:23:24. > :23:30.and negotiating skills and to get it right. Please can we have a say. Not

:23:31. > :23:34.on behalf of Parliament but on behalf of all-out constituents.

:23:35. > :23:39.That's why we come here. Afterwards, we chewed it all over with two MPs

:35:12. > :35:15.last season. I watched the first 40 minutes against Manchester United.

:35:16. > :35:26.They dominated with their usual aggressive and pressing selves. They

:35:27. > :35:28.had lots of opportunities. But the ball is not going in the net.

:35:56. > :35:58.teams, including us, only two will go through. In the past 15 years,

:35:59. > :36:02.that has only happened twice for us, I think. But this year we are going

:36:03. > :36:06.in with a top ten player, Johanna Konta, and Laura. They have been

:36:07. > :36:08.ranked higher. I do believe this is our strongest team for some time.

:36:55. > :36:58.There is that physicality at an international level. We experienced

:36:59. > :37:02.it in the season and we have to get on with it. I bet you he is not

:37:14. > :37:16.on people from seven mainly Muslim countries has entered a third week.

:37:17. > :37:19.Overnight, government lawyers have been trying to convince an appeals

:37:20. > :37:22.court in San Francisco to reinstate it, saying Donald Trump was acting

:37:23. > :37:26.To tell us what might happen next is Dr Marie Newhouse,

:37:27. > :37:28.Director of Surrey University's Centre for Law and Philosophy,

:37:29. > :37:40.Good morning. It is fascinating to see how this might pan out. Remind

:37:41. > :37:45.us of why the outcome could be so significant. This is a really early

:37:46. > :37:48.test of Donald Trump's administration, isn't it? It

:37:49. > :37:52.certainly is. Thank you for having me. One thing to understand is this

:37:53. > :37:59.has been an extra ordinarily rushed piece of litigation because the area

:38:00. > :38:02.is so large. The courts have made an effort to process the case as soon

:38:03. > :38:07.as possible. And the argument that we just had in the ninth circuit

:38:08. > :38:12.demonstrated the lawyers were feeling under a lot of pressure. Not

:38:13. > :38:16.much evidence has been gathered yet. And yet it seems important to make

:38:17. > :38:19.some kind of decision as quickly as possible. In fact, the judges

:38:20. > :38:24.appeared disposed to make the decision as quick as possible. By do

:38:25. > :38:30.you think Donald Trump can push his executive orders when it comes to

:38:31. > :38:34.national security -- how far do. One of the things they are saying is

:38:35. > :38:38.that they have the power to control borders given by Congress. The

:38:39. > :38:42.president has a great deal of latitude to control borders. But it

:38:43. > :38:46.is not completely unlimited. And in fact, one of the argument is that

:38:47. > :38:50.the State of Washington and one of the plaintiffs in this litigation is

:38:51. > :39:00.making is that doctor's order could actually be inconsistent with print

:39:01. > :39:07.edition -- prohibition of immigration. That will only apply to

:39:08. > :39:10.immigrants if it applies, not to visa holders or tourist visa

:39:11. > :39:15.holders, but it would apply to refugees. That would be significant.

:39:16. > :39:19.It is possible many people impacted by the travel ban could get some

:39:20. > :39:23.legal relief, even if the courts decide not to address the

:39:24. > :39:27.constitutional claim. The legal argument, just listening to it, it

:39:28. > :39:32.can get quite deep about whether it amounts to a Muslim ban or just one

:39:33. > :39:39.no majority Muslim countries to be that could be the deciding issue,

:39:40. > :39:42.couldn't it? It certainly could. The Donald Trump administration said the

:39:43. > :39:47.court should not look beyond the four corners of the executive court

:39:48. > :39:50.itself in order to find religious discrimination, which is another one

:39:51. > :39:55.of the claims that the State of Washington is making. Now, there are

:39:56. > :40:00.some cases that the Federal level that indicate that that a claimed

:40:01. > :40:05.that may succeed in terms of evidence that the court should not

:40:06. > :40:09.look beyond executive orders. -- claim. But that does not involve the

:40:10. > :40:13.kind of evidence we already have in the record about religious to

:40:14. > :40:19.scammer nation, Donald Trump's and claims during the campaign trail,

:40:20. > :40:25.and Rudy Giuliani's claimed the Donald Trump called him up and said

:40:26. > :40:29.I want to implement a Muslim ban, how do I do it legally? This puts

:40:30. > :40:33.the government in an awkward position. It is not clear to me that

:40:34. > :40:39.the judges will decline to entertain that evidence. Both sides could

:40:40. > :40:42.appeal this decision, whatever it is. Then it goes to The Supreme

:40:43. > :40:49.Court. An interesting part of that is that there is only aged judges on

:40:50. > :40:55.that Supreme Court because the ninth has not been sworn in yet. And those

:40:56. > :41:03.eight are pretty divided. With this deadlock, whatever the ninth circuit

:41:04. > :41:08.decides would stand. How might that process work in terms of timing?

:41:09. > :41:12.When is the ninth circuit judge meant to be sworn in? Well, I think

:41:13. > :41:17.what you are talking about is the ninth Supreme Court justice being

:41:18. > :41:20.sworn in. Yes. That will depend on the information hearings in the

:41:21. > :41:25.Senate. I probably do not need to tell you how tremendously fraught

:41:26. > :41:29.that issue is in the Senate right now given the refusal to hold

:41:30. > :41:34.confirmation hearings last year for Obama's appointed, Merrick Garland.

:41:35. > :41:39.It is not clear how quickly the Senate will move to feel that they

:41:40. > :41:43.on The Supreme Court. How quickly this case reaches The Supreme Court,

:41:44. > :41:49.and I believe it will eventually, will depend on the red of the

:41:50. > :41:52.decision. -- breadth. The ninth circuit could actually say it does

:41:53. > :41:59.not have jurisdiction over this case yet, that they have to wait for the

:42:00. > :42:03.Federal trial to issue something like a preliminary injunction to

:42:04. > :42:06.take a good look at it. If they do that, I do not think anyone will

:42:07. > :42:10.will appeal that order, I think we will just wait for the preliminary

:42:11. > :42:14.injunction at the trial court. On the other hand, the ninth circuit

:42:15. > :42:19.could come out and rural on merit. One of the judges said she was eager

:42:20. > :42:24.to do that. Judge Friedland, anti- Obama appoint key. If that happens,

:42:25. > :42:31.I think that will be appointed to The Supreme Court is be -- an Obama

:42:32. > :42:37.apointee. I think we will talk about that again. We have learned so much

:42:38. > :42:41.about how the American system works. You are watching Breakfast. The main

:42:42. > :42:45.stories. The bill authorising Theresa May to start the process of

:42:46. > :42:49.leaving the European Union is due to reach its final stages in the house

:42:50. > :42:56.of a man is today. Efforts to treat more patients in the community have

:42:57. > :43:00.neither saved money or helped the NHS according to the watchdog.

:43:01. > :43:10.There could be snow. Good morning. Good morning. This morning, if you

:43:11. > :43:14.are just stepping out, it will feel colder today than it did yesterday.

:43:15. > :43:18.As we go through the rest of the week it will feel colder again.

:43:19. > :43:23.Cloudy in the east and brighter in the west. The risk of ice and quite

:43:24. > :43:27.a lot of frost around, especially in western Scotland and Northern

:43:28. > :43:31.Ireland. We have this knows of high-pressure moving towards the

:43:32. > :43:36.south-west. Equally, a weather front. This is what produced the

:43:37. > :43:40.rain in the past few days and it is trying to move back towards the

:43:41. > :43:44.west. What is happening is we are pulling in this colder air more or

:43:45. > :43:49.less across most of the UK as we go through today. Coldest in the

:43:50. > :43:54.south-western parts of Wales under clearer skies. Some showers. There

:43:55. > :43:59.is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Cloud, especially east.

:44:00. > :44:03.Some of that is in the west and is currently producing showers.

:44:04. > :44:06.Northern Ireland, a cold start for you and a frosty one with the risk

:44:07. > :44:11.of ice on untreated surfaces. Showers in northern England.

:44:12. > :44:15.Scotland, again, in the west, the risk of ice, clearer skies, a few

:44:16. > :44:20.showers, and further snow in the Grampians. Through the course of the

:44:21. > :44:27.day, flurries coming in. Nothing to substantial. It will be a cold,

:44:28. > :44:31.easterly winds we are pulling in. Are towards the west, sunshine.

:44:32. > :44:33.Through the afternoon, a few coastal showers developing, but not much

:44:34. > :44:39.more than that supplied still comparatively mild out towards the

:44:40. > :44:44.west. Cool air starts to see bin from the North Sea. As we had gone

:44:45. > :44:47.through this evening and overnight, it will continue to feel colder.

:44:48. > :44:52.More of the showers will have a wintry element to them. Windy

:44:53. > :44:56.towards the west, cold from the east, and again, where the cloud

:44:57. > :45:00.breaks, especially in central and western areas, we are looking once

:45:01. > :45:05.again at frost. May be pockets of, but nothing to substantial.

:45:06. > :45:09.Tomorrow, similar to today, in that we have clearer skies are towards

:45:10. > :45:13.the west. That is where we will see sunshine. Tomorrow will feel colder

:45:14. > :45:19.than today. We will still pull in cold and easterly wind. Still, some

:45:20. > :45:23.showers. Towards the east of England and also Scotland, right on the

:45:24. > :45:27.coastline, some showers will be sleek and snow. You do not have to

:45:28. > :45:34.be too far inland to have sleet and snow. Friday, a bit more of the

:45:35. > :45:38.same. The cold theme continues. Cold wind continues off the North Sea.

:45:39. > :45:42.Towards the east of England and eastern parts of Scotland, snow

:45:43. > :45:46.showers. The coast, more likely to be sleet. Moving across the

:45:47. > :45:54.Pennines, Northumberland, the borders of Aberdeenshire, we will

:45:55. > :45:59.see snow. Just over an inch. It could be almost over that. There are

:46:00. > :46:05.showers. Not all of us will see them. I counted how many times you

:46:06. > :46:10.said cold. It was a lot. See you later. Thank you. I just cold her

:46:11. > :46:20.darling on. That is embarrassing. She is part of the family.

:46:21. > :46:28.There is no love this morning. I make one mistake on the so far

:46:29. > :46:32.and... What have you got for us, sweetheart? OK, too much, too much.

:46:33. > :46:35.Have you ever faced a hefty fee for using your overdraft?

:46:36. > :46:38.Well research out this morning says it can be more expensive

:46:39. > :46:44.Looked at how much it would cost to go over your overdraft by ?100

:46:45. > :46:48.for 30 days - and found it could cost between ?30 and ?180 -

:46:49. > :46:50.depending on which current account you have.

:46:51. > :46:53.Payday loan firms - by law - can't charge more than ?24

:46:54. > :46:57.for the same type of loan - and Which says the same rule should

:46:58. > :47:01.We'll speak to them in just a minute - but first -

:47:02. > :47:06.do you feel you get enough warning to try to avoid the fees?

:47:07. > :47:13.No. They just came out and happened three months in a row and then I had

:47:14. > :47:17.to go in and sort it out. It was that that kept at putting me back

:47:18. > :47:21.over. The outline the rules at the start so as soon as you follow them,

:47:22. > :47:27.you shouldn't really get stung. A bit of self-discipline. I pay my

:47:28. > :47:33.rent and buy rent goes out and if it goes ?10 overdrawn, I get charged at

:47:34. > :47:35.ten for being at ten overdrawn. They meant to be able to help you. You

:47:36. > :47:38.are paying for your own money. Pete Moorey is Head

:48:06. > :48:13.think it is right to ask why we are paying so much. When it is capped at

:48:19. > :48:26.credit and Binny to get to the bottom of this issue. We think is

:48:27. > :48:32.unfair -- we need to. Why doesn't the rule applied to the banks, the

:48:33. > :48:38.cup of ?24? No one has decided to intervene to date in that way. We

:48:39. > :48:47.had a "Into banking. We think this is what they failed to mess. --A big

:48:48. > :48:53.inquiry. It is time for the financial regulator to step in. This

:48:54. > :48:57.is about awareness. A lot of people fall into this because they don't

:48:58. > :49:01.know they are short of money that month and if they were a bit more I

:49:02. > :49:04.wear, they could transfer money in from another account, for example. I

:49:05. > :49:08.think it is more than transparency. The banks will tell you that they do

:49:09. > :49:12.more than give you just information. Actually, we think it is simply

:49:13. > :49:22.about these fees being too high. They we think it should be tackled.

:49:23. > :49:30.People are suddenly hit with huge fine. People are using their

:49:31. > :49:41.unarranged overdraft as a buffer. This takes into a spiral of debt. We

:49:42. > :49:43.want to hear your stories about this.

:49:44. > :49:53.We'll be talking about it again after 8.30.

:49:54. > :50:02.Send us your thoughts. More from me after seven.

:50:03. > :50:06.It has to be one of the most stunning free shows on earth -

:50:07. > :50:07.and it's currently playing in Cumbria.

:50:08. > :50:10.Tens of thousands of starlings are performing a nightly

:50:11. > :50:14.Their synchronised flying creates an amazing aerial ballet.

:50:15. > :50:17.The Friends of the Lake District has organised a number of viewing events

:50:18. > :50:19.before the season ends later this month -

:50:20. > :50:39.It's an aerial ballet with a cast of thousands. A mass of starlings

:50:40. > :50:43.flying in mesmerising harmony. The dictionary tells us this is called a

:50:44. > :50:48.murmuration. It also tells us the word has been in use for hundreds of

:50:49. > :50:51.years but why a murmuration? Nobody really knows why it is called this.

:50:52. > :50:56.It's an interesting word because they do not really murmur. It is an

:50:57. > :51:00.old word. Short dance, nobody knows. But why do they formed these

:51:01. > :51:04.patterns and move together in harmony? Again, nobody really knows.

:51:05. > :51:06.There is some suggestion that come together at dusk in a big group

:51:07. > :51:19.because it protects protect them. Why would they pick

:51:20. > :51:24.this spot? It is a stunning landscape. Why would anyone want to

:51:25. > :51:29.spend a night here? And so an audience gathered in Cumbria for one

:51:30. > :51:41.of the greatest free free shows on Earth. I'm a reporter for my school

:51:42. > :51:46.magazine. You are a reporter like me? So you can report on this? I'm

:51:47. > :51:51.going to write it up on the computer. Are you going to take some

:51:52. > :51:56.pictures as well? Yes. Hopefully my mum has remembered my phone. I have

:51:57. > :52:04.two capture it on my camera over there and if I miss anything, can I

:52:05. > :52:07.borrow your shots? Yes. As dusk starts, the stars of the show

:52:08. > :52:24.appears. They do not disappoint. Absolutely beautiful. They are just

:52:25. > :52:31.stunning. The sky turns black and it's just amazing. I've seen them

:52:32. > :52:40.before in other places but nothing like a big shows like this. Someone

:52:41. > :52:46.estimated there was 60,000 or so starlings are there. I will take

:52:47. > :52:50.their word for it. Then as darkness falls, so too do the starlings. It

:52:51. > :52:56.is curtains down on another perfect performance.

:52:57. > :52:59.You could just watch that for hours. It's lovely.

:53:00. > :53:03.Joining us now to tell us more about this spectacle is Tom Clare

:53:04. > :53:07.from the Martin Mere Wetlands Centre in Lancashire.

:53:08. > :53:14.It's just mesmerising, isn't it? It is incredible. One of the great

:53:15. > :53:20.sights of nature. Sinor the starlings making these fantastic

:53:21. > :53:30.shapes in the sky. -- seeing all the starlings. There are two main

:53:31. > :53:34.theories as to why people do it -- wired the starlings do it. It is

:53:35. > :53:38.mainly to avoid predators. Also when they come down to roost, because

:53:39. > :53:45.there is so many of them, they will keep warm when they stay together.

:53:46. > :53:52.There has been a reduction in numbers? About 66%. The population

:53:53. > :53:56.has decreased. Although we get these big numbers as you can see in the

:53:57. > :54:02.murmuration is, unfortunately they are on decline. You used to see them

:54:03. > :54:10.much more in cities but now they are over a role phenomenon. Louise

:54:11. > :54:16.sometimes sees it East. It is harder to see them because they fly in a

:54:17. > :54:22.straight line. Adi begin to count the amount of starlings in that?

:54:23. > :54:24.Geese are always on one plane but starlings, it is like a

:54:25. > :54:31.3-dimensional object. Although you can count what's in front of you,

:54:32. > :54:39.you have to factor in the depth. It never stays still either. Is at the

:54:40. > :54:43.season at the moment for this? We have a good amount of starlings in

:54:44. > :54:48.the UK throughout the year but in winter they all form together and

:54:49. > :54:52.make these large murmuration is. We also get a lot of those from the

:54:53. > :54:58.continent, Scandinavia and places like that who escaped their harsh

:54:59. > :55:03.winters to spend it with us. I'm just mesmerised seeing them on the

:55:04. > :55:08.telly there again. Whenever you see them, people are down there pointing

:55:09. > :55:12.their cameras as well. People follow them around the country. It is

:55:13. > :55:17.amazing views that you get with these starling murmuration 's. It is

:55:18. > :55:21.this time in nature where you need any equipment, you just go out to

:55:22. > :55:24.the local area were you see the murmuration is and you stand there

:55:25. > :55:29.and watch them for maybe half an hour to one-hour and watch them

:55:30. > :55:33.until they go home to roost. So they do them in the same place every

:55:34. > :55:40.evening? Pretty much. They will move around a few times. We have had some

:55:41. > :55:46.at Martin mere. They have now moved on. Probably due to the fact we had

:55:47. > :55:52.a lots of birds of prey around, following them around. That might

:55:53. > :55:55.have moved them on. In general, you might be able to find them in

:55:56. > :56:01.similar locations. This might be in ignorant question but they all

:56:02. > :56:07.bashing to each other ever? How do they know when to turn right et

:56:08. > :56:14.cetera? We are still try to figure it out. I'm glad it's not that

:56:15. > :56:20.stupid question. You can see it is instantaneous. There is a lot of

:56:21. > :56:26.research going on about it. A lot of physics behind it as well. Looking

:56:27. > :56:29.into exactly how when one knows, the other one knows. You get is rippling

:56:30. > :56:37.effect through the whole murmuration. Geese are incredible to

:56:38. > :56:42.watch as well. Is one of the great thing is working with wildlife. You

:56:43. > :56:52.see these or inspiring events in winter and the sheer number of birds

:56:53. > :57:00.is just amazing. -- awe inspiring. You know what to do.

:57:01. > :00:24.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:00:25. > :00:29.Don't forget there is plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:00:30. > :00:33.See you in half an hour. This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker

:00:34. > :00:36.and Louise Minchin. The Brexit bill goes to the vote

:00:37. > :00:40.as MPs decide whether to give Theresa May the power

:00:41. > :00:42.to leave the EU. Last night, the Government saw off

:00:43. > :00:45.a possible rebellion after promising that any final deal will be

:00:46. > :00:48.put to the Commons. We'll be live at Westminster with

:00:49. > :00:58.the latest in the next few minutes. Tonight, it could be Labour MPs

:00:59. > :01:06.defying their leader. Campaigners demand tougher limits

:01:39. > :01:40.to build more quickly. So I'll be catching up with the boss

:01:41. > :01:44.of Redrow to find out Is it the dreaded vote of

:01:45. > :01:50.confidence? Leicester City have given

:01:51. > :01:52.their "unwavering support" to manager, Claudio Ranieri,

:01:53. > :01:54.despite the reigning Premier League champions being just one point

:01:55. > :01:59.above the relegation zone. A whirling, swooping,

:02:00. > :02:08.acrobatic spectacle of nature. As the season comes to an end,

:02:09. > :02:17.we'll be looking at the science It will be called. We will see some

:02:18. > :02:21.snow, but not everywhere. The most likely place for that is in the

:02:22. > :02:24.east. It will mostly be in the high ground. Cloudy in central and

:02:25. > :02:36.eastern areas. Rain and showers. Cold and frosty and sunshine. More

:02:37. > :02:37.details in 15 minutes. Thank you, Carol. See you then.

:02:38. > :02:41.The bill empowering Theresa May to start the process of leaving

:02:42. > :02:45.the EU is due to reach its final stages in the Commons later.

:02:46. > :02:47.Last night, the Government saw off a potential rebellion

:02:48. > :02:49.from Conservative backbenchers, and defeated amendments put forward

:02:50. > :02:54.Here's our political correspondent, Tom Bateman.

:02:55. > :02:57.A battle for control over the process of Brexit.

:02:58. > :03:06.Last night, MPs ended more than seven hours of debate,

:03:07. > :03:09.which contained what some saw as a concession from the Government.

:03:10. > :03:19.I can confirm that the Government will bring forward a motion

:03:20. > :03:22.on the final agreement to approved by both Houses of Parliament before

:03:23. > :03:27.In other words, MPs will get to vote on any future Brexit deal before

:03:28. > :03:29.it is signed off by the Government and the EU.

:03:30. > :03:33.But other negotiations will likely be complex.

:03:34. > :03:36.Some MPs are worried about Theresa May's threat to walk

:03:37. > :03:38.away from the talks rather than take a bad deal.

:03:39. > :03:41.What the House wants is the opportunity to send

:03:42. > :03:44.the Government back to our EU partners to negotiate a deal if one

:03:45. > :03:48.Last night, the Government saw off a number of attempts to starve

:03:49. > :04:00.Some backbenchers remain unhappy about what the ministers offered.

:04:01. > :04:03.Divisions between those who argued for it and who campaigned against it

:04:04. > :04:18.The bill reaches its final stage later today, threatening to expose

:04:19. > :04:25.further rifts within Labour and with more Tory

:04:26. > :04:29.The Government believes it can trigger Article 50 next month.

:04:30. > :04:31.Our political correspondent, Carol Walker, is in Westminster this

:04:32. > :04:41.This feels like another big one. It is the final day of debating and

:04:42. > :04:44.voting in the Commons. After winning convincing votes today, the

:04:45. > :04:50.government will be hopeful it can do the same again today. The bill will

:04:51. > :04:53.go on to the House of Lords. Again, given the margin of victory for the

:04:54. > :04:59.government in the Commons, ministers will hope that will deter the Lord

:05:00. > :05:03.from trying to disrupt this bill as it goes through the houses of

:05:04. > :05:08.government. That will put the focus back on the Labour Party, as Jeremy

:05:09. > :05:12.Corbyn, the leader, has ordered his MPs to vote in favour of the

:05:13. > :05:15.legislation. That is difficult for some who campaigned strongly to

:05:16. > :05:20.remain in the EU and he may have constituencies that voted strongly

:05:21. > :05:26.to remain. More than 40 rebelled last week. There has already been

:05:27. > :05:29.three resignations from the shadow cabinet. And I think many people

:05:30. > :05:35.will be waiting to see if Diane Abbott, the Shadow Home Secretary,

:05:36. > :05:40.turns up. Now, she missed a key vote last week and many of her colleagues

:05:41. > :05:48.who saw her perky at the start of the day said she had a bit of Brexit

:05:49. > :05:52.flu to avoid and embarrassing vote. If she fails to turn up today that

:05:53. > :05:58.will spell a big problem for the Labour leader. We will keep an eye

:05:59. > :06:00.on that. In the meantime, we will discuss this later on in the

:06:01. > :06:00.morning. Plans to treat more patients

:06:01. > :06:04.in the community have so far failed to save money or reduce hospital

:06:05. > :06:06.admissions in England, according to the Government's

:06:07. > :06:08.spending watchdog. The National Audit Office says

:06:09. > :06:10.ministers were over-optimistic in thinking a scheme called

:06:11. > :06:13.the Better Care Fund could save ?500 When residents of this care home

:06:14. > :06:23.in Sutton have to go to hospital, an innovative scheme helps

:06:24. > :06:27.cut their stay to a minimum. Their medical and personal details

:06:28. > :06:30.go with them in distinctive red bags so doctors and nurses can

:06:31. > :06:32.make faster and more It's been a great

:06:33. > :06:39.asset for us and we're able to pass the information

:06:40. > :06:48.on with a guarantee that it's going from ambulance to A to

:06:49. > :06:53.the ward and following them through. We have been able to reduce time

:06:54. > :06:56.of stay by four days which is massive when you think

:06:57. > :06:59.about how stretched the system The National Audit Office says

:07:00. > :07:09.the spending of more than ?5 billion of council money on integrating

:07:10. > :07:13.health and social care has not given Starting in 2014-15,

:07:14. > :07:16.the scheme aimed to reduce emergency admissions to hospital

:07:17. > :07:21.by more than 100,000. But in 2015-16, admissions

:07:22. > :07:25.actually went up by 87,000. Over the same period,

:07:26. > :07:37.the project was supposed to reduce the number

:07:38. > :07:40.of days lost because people were stuck in hospital

:07:41. > :07:43.to just under 300,000 but The Public Accounts Committee wants

:07:44. > :07:46.long-term solutions rather They need to look at why

:07:47. > :07:51.this isn't working. What is it that is

:07:52. > :07:54.stopping the beds being available even when there is some

:07:55. > :07:57.money being thrown at them, The Government says it's too

:07:58. > :08:06.soon to judge the impact Government lawyers in America have

:08:07. > :08:11.been trying to convince an appeals court to reinstate President Trump's

:08:12. > :08:14.ban on people from seven mainly Muslim countries entering

:08:15. > :08:15.the United States. They said Mr Trump was

:08:16. > :08:18.acting within his powers and that the court which suspended

:08:19. > :08:22.the ban last week made an error. But two US states argued it

:08:23. > :08:24.discriminated against Muslims. Yemen is on the brink of famine

:08:25. > :08:28.according to the United Nations. The country's been in

:08:29. > :08:31.the grip of a civil war between government

:08:32. > :08:33.forces and Houthi rebel It's estimated that 80%

:08:34. > :08:39.of the population are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance,

:08:40. > :08:42.with children the worst affected. Plans to offer 30 hours of free

:08:43. > :08:46.childcare to three and four year olds in England could lead

:08:47. > :08:49.to a shortage of nursery places, The 15 hours per week children

:08:50. > :08:53.currently receive in term time is set to double

:08:54. > :08:56.from September, but more than half of councils told the Family

:08:57. > :08:58.and Childcare Trust that they were unsure their areas

:08:59. > :09:01.would have adequate The Department for Education says

:09:02. > :09:21.quality, affordable childcare We have been speaking a lot about

:09:22. > :09:24.the travel ban in the last few days, but one other story about President

:09:25. > :09:30.Trump is making rather strange headlines in the US. It is all about

:09:31. > :09:35.dressing gowns. It seems unbelievable, does he or does he not

:09:36. > :09:43.own wine? Lots of pictures of him wearing one have appeared on line.

:09:44. > :09:47.journalists the President "definitely doesn't wear one."

:09:48. > :09:48.The White House had apparently been angered

:09:49. > :09:52.by a New York Times article which suggested President Trump sits

:09:53. > :09:55.around watching TV in his dressing gown, as Sarah Corker explains.

:09:56. > :09:58.It's become one of Donald Trump's most used phrases.

:09:59. > :10:06.The president's latest spat with the media is over this,

:10:07. > :10:09.a bath robe, and whether he does or does not own one.

:10:10. > :10:11.This New York Times report described a chaotic

:10:12. > :10:16.But it was the claim that Mr Trump spent

:10:17. > :10:18.considerable time watching television in his bathroom that

:10:19. > :10:21.seemed to particularly irritate the White House.

:10:22. > :10:25.That is literally the epitome of fake news.

:10:26. > :10:30.I mean, start at the top, I don't think he owns a bath robe.

:10:31. > :10:39.From top to bottom it is a made-up story that does not

:10:40. > :10:42.The President Tweeted, of course, his annoyance at what he described

:10:43. > :10:46.And that bath robe denial prompted people across the globe to take

:10:47. > :10:48.to social media to contradict the White

:10:49. > :10:58.Some delved deep into archives to find these images.

:10:59. > :11:04.There were Donald Trump branded robes as well.

:11:05. > :11:06.And it spawned parodies and spoof images.

:11:07. > :11:08.This picture of Ronald Reagan did the rounds.

:11:09. > :11:14.One Tweet said he should not be so shy about wearing the garment.

:11:15. > :11:20.the government and public had more serious matters to discuss

:11:21. > :11:22.rather than his choice of loungewear.

:11:23. > :11:32.Sarah Corker, BBC News. There are more important things than dressing

:11:33. > :11:35.gowns, but I love them. The cat in the dressing ground was the

:11:36. > :11:40.highlight. -- gown. It's been seven months

:11:41. > :11:42.of recriminations and political wrangling, but today MPs

:11:43. > :11:45.will finally vote on the bill to trigger Article 50 and start

:11:46. > :11:48.the formal process of Brexit. And some of the details

:11:49. > :11:51.of what happens next We now know MPs will vote on any

:11:52. > :11:55.agreement reached between Britain and the EU, but should they reject

:11:56. > :11:58.it, there would be no renegotiation and Britain would leave

:11:59. > :12:01.the European Union without a deal. Owen Jones from the Guardian,

:12:02. > :12:03.and political commentator, Kate Maltby, are in Westminster

:12:04. > :12:15.to discuss this with us. Good morning. Thank you very much

:12:16. > :12:21.us. Obviously, very simplistic terms, deal or no deal. First of

:12:22. > :12:26.all, how will it go today? Jeremy Corbyn says his MPs must support

:12:27. > :12:31.this bill. They are in a difficult position, whatever you think about

:12:32. > :12:37.it. You have a situation where the majority of Labour voters voted

:12:38. > :12:45.remain, but most have constituencies of leave. The victory was narrow.

:12:46. > :12:51.The vast majority of constituencies voted to leave. The problem Labour

:12:52. > :12:54.has, and their fear is, because the polling shows the haemorrhaging

:12:55. > :13:02.voters who voted to leave, that seems to block the desire of the

:13:03. > :13:05.people. That could have calamitous consequences, not least in places

:13:06. > :13:09.like Doncaster, where 70% of people voted to leave. At the same time,

:13:10. > :13:14.they have to keep their voters, especially in big cities, who are

:13:15. > :13:19.despondent about the referendum result. They think this is a

:13:20. > :13:22.nightmare and that Labour has capitulated to the Conservatives.

:13:23. > :13:27.The tightrope they have to walk is to support the bill and support

:13:28. > :13:33.activating Article 50, but make it clear they will scrutinise and

:13:34. > :13:37.challenge the Tory Brexit. OK, let us talk about the Conservative

:13:38. > :13:41.Party. There have been MPs rebelling. How do you think it will

:13:42. > :13:45.go today? Well, fundamentally, the government is going to get its way.

:13:46. > :13:51.And every rabble in the Tory party knows that. What is interesting is

:13:52. > :14:02.that yesterday afternoon we had that rebellion of seven MPs. -- rebel.

:14:13. > :14:16.continue in the referendum. You can talk about splits in the Labour

:14:17. > :14:20.Party, we have been talking about that a lot recently, but one thing

:14:21. > :14:26.that has not been covered in ours is the extent to which the Tory

:14:27. > :14:30.remainders are still digging their heels in. They do not think they

:14:31. > :14:35.will get their way on policy and they do not think they will get

:14:36. > :14:38.their way on these particular votes, but they reminded Theresa May they

:14:39. > :14:42.are still a force to be reckoned with. She is not 100% in control of

:14:43. > :14:46.her party either. That is what I wanted to talk to you about. Is she

:14:47. > :14:51.emboldened by what is going on? She is still in a relatively secure

:14:52. > :14:57.position, especially compared to someone like Jeremy Corbyn. The

:14:58. > :15:03.likes of us talking to you, we don't give her enough credit for the

:15:04. > :15:09.extent to which she is still backed by the majority, not just of Tory

:15:10. > :15:13.voters, but of the electorate. I was privy to some private polling just a

:15:14. > :15:17.couple of days ago. It was full of Londoners in the room where people

:15:18. > :15:23.had been asked across the country about Theresa May's handling of

:15:24. > :15:28.Brexit. We were sitting in the room thinking she was going to be

:15:29. > :15:33.hammered. She was going to be criticised. But strong numbers were

:15:34. > :15:36.coming out for her. The majority of her handling it well enough all very

:15:37. > :15:49.well. She is well aware that there is not a particular plan for Brexit.

:15:50. > :15:53.But as she puts it, Brexit means Brexit. She has to get some kind of

:15:54. > :15:59.deal. She is good at looking like she has authority. She did well in

:16:00. > :16:07.the Commons debates. She was confident. I talked to the Tory

:16:08. > :16:14.rebels, a few of them were actually quite rough grudgingly impressed by

:16:15. > :16:18.her performance in the Commons. Wanted to ask you a little bit. It

:16:19. > :16:25.comes down to individuals. Diane Abbott. She missed the vote. Some

:16:26. > :16:27.people criticising her. Some called it Brexit flew. Is it important she

:16:28. > :16:37.turns up? Yes. I'm sure she doesn't have a

:16:38. > :16:41.migraine today. In terms of the problems. If you like, the Labour

:16:42. > :16:47.leadership has no choice but to support Article 50. Some Labour MPs

:16:48. > :16:52.have no choice but to vote against. It was in some constituencies which

:16:53. > :16:56.heavily voted Remain, particularly the big cities, the danger facing

:16:57. > :17:01.lots of Labour MPs is that it UKIP and the Conservative Party, the

:17:02. > :17:05.Liberal Democrats and Greens -- is not UKIP and the Conservatives. It

:17:06. > :17:11.is that Liberal Democrats and the Greens will stop it is despondent

:17:12. > :17:15.remainders, furious about Brexit, terrified about the future and

:17:16. > :17:20.jubilant Leaders who believe they have the country back. Labour had to

:17:21. > :17:25.bring together a coalition that includes Doncaster which voted 70%

:17:26. > :17:30.for Leave and Islington which voted 80% remain. Some MPs, even the

:17:31. > :17:37.Labour leadership has made it clear, but they will support Article 50.

:17:38. > :17:41.Some Labour MPs have no choice but to vote against. Otherwise they will

:18:07. > :18:11.George Osborne who is still thinking about a political comeback,

:18:12. > :18:16.abstained. That is as significant as Diane Abbott not showing up for a

:18:17. > :18:22.vote. Yes, the Labour Party is in a bind but the Tory party is not as

:18:23. > :18:34.stable as people think it is. Good. We are on the BBC, I went. That has

:18:35. > :18:40.warned the Cockle of my heart. The impartial BBC.

:18:41. > :18:44.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:18:45. > :18:58.The snowdrops are out, Carol, aren't they? It is a good start to the day,

:18:59. > :19:03.wherever you are. Cloudy in the East but brighter in the West. There is

:19:04. > :19:06.ice on untreated surfaces. The weather in the West is more

:19:07. > :19:10.unsettled. This weather front has been producing the rain and today,

:19:11. > :19:14.it will try and move it back towards the West. In doing so, we will pull

:19:15. > :19:19.in these cold continental air behind it. So the cold air seeping over

:19:20. > :19:23.towards many areas today. Not all, as you can see from the yellow but

:19:24. > :19:28.across many. A cold start this morning. South-west England and

:19:29. > :19:33.parts of Wales, some ice and frost. But there will be sunshine. Across

:19:34. > :19:37.central and eastern parts of England and Wales, we are looking at quite a

:19:38. > :19:45.bit of cloud producing some showers. Northern Ireland, a cold start and

:19:46. > :19:50.some patchy fog. The north-east seeing some rain. For Scotland, rein

:19:51. > :19:55.in the east and clearer skies to the West. That means some ice but also

:19:56. > :19:59.some sunshine. The fog will not last. Further snow in the Grampians.

:20:00. > :20:02.Through the course in the day, as it turns colder. Later on, it will

:20:03. > :20:07.drop. We are not looking at significant levels of snow. In the

:20:08. > :20:11.east, you could see the odd wintry flurry today but again, you are

:20:12. > :20:15.looking at sleet rather than substantial amounts of snow.

:20:16. > :20:19.Wherever you are, it will feel cold but not as cold towards the West.

:20:20. > :20:22.Through this evening and tonight, particularly through western areas

:20:23. > :20:28.where you have your skies, we are looking at fog. There is the risk of

:20:29. > :20:31.ice on untreated surfaces. We still pull in these easterly wind and

:20:32. > :20:35.still have a brisk wind going on in the West. With the showers,

:20:36. > :20:39.increasingly some of those will also be wintry. On the coast, there will

:20:40. > :20:44.be sleet. As we come inland, there will be snow and sleet. There are

:20:45. > :20:48.showers. And you know the drill with showers, not all of us will see one.

:20:49. > :20:53.Tomorrow, some parts of eastern England and Scotland could see that

:20:54. > :20:58.combination on the coast. Showers, rain and sleet. Inland of sleet and

:20:59. > :21:01.of snow. Again, we don't expect huge amounts to be falling. There will be

:21:02. > :21:04.snow in the Pennines and the Grampians and out towards the West

:21:05. > :21:08.there will be the brightest skies. Look at those temperatures. Out was

:21:09. > :21:12.the West, we're looking at four Celsius. Again on Friday, eastern

:21:13. > :21:16.areas are prone to snow. Let so on the coast and more so inland.

:21:17. > :21:20.Especially across north-east England and across the borders, eastern

:21:21. > :21:24.parts of Aberdeenshire and into the Grampians and the Pennines. A cold

:21:25. > :21:28.they generally that speaking about that snow, at lower levels, some of

:21:29. > :21:29.us could have two or three centimetres. Twice that is possible

:21:30. > :21:44.on higher ground. Plenty more from Carol throughout

:21:45. > :21:48.the day. Looking at the front page of the Times which we were picking

:21:49. > :21:55.up on, teachers wearing body cameras to film unruly pupils. They're using

:21:56. > :22:00.police style cameras and they are used in at least two comprehensive

:22:01. > :22:06.schools in England, one of which has a history of behavioural problems.

:22:07. > :22:10.They are using it as a behavioural experiment. They do not record all

:22:11. > :22:14.the time, as I understand. You know police wear them sometimes. They are

:22:15. > :22:27.turned on during an incident. It is a pilot scheme at the moment but we

:22:28. > :22:29.will talk about it more later. Benny is here with the business news.

:22:30. > :22:37.The consumer group Which? looked at how much it would cost

:22:38. > :22:41.to go over your overdraft by ?100 for 30 days - and found it

:22:42. > :22:45.depending on which current account you have.

:22:46. > :22:48.Payday loan firms - by law - acn't charge more than ?24

:22:49. > :22:52.for the same type of loan - and Which says the same rule should

:22:53. > :22:55.German-owned Aldi has overtaken the Co-operative

:22:56. > :22:57.as Britain's fifth biggest supermarket, industry data shows.

:22:58. > :23:00.Aldi's sales rose 12.4% year-on-year in the 12 weeks to 29 January,

:23:01. > :23:03.taking its market share to 6.2% and ahead of the Co-op's 6%,

:23:04. > :23:05.according to research firm Kantar Worldpanel.

:23:06. > :23:07.It underlines the challenge the big retailers have faced

:23:08. > :23:10.from discounters such as Aldi and its German rival Lidl.

:23:11. > :23:20.Sales at Lidl rose 9.4%, taking its market share to 4.5%.

:23:21. > :23:32.The housebuilder Redrow says there has been a profit in the last year.

:23:33. > :23:38.They completed 13% more properties but after the government described

:23:39. > :23:43.the UK's housing market is broken. It says developers are not building

:23:44. > :23:47.enough homes to meet demand and that is keeping house prices artificially

:23:48. > :23:53.high. I'm going to speak to them was of Redrow in a minute. Interesting

:23:54. > :23:59.to see those prefab houses being built. Fascinating. You can

:24:00. > :24:04.basically go in and choose it off the shelf.

:24:05. > :24:07.Thank you for watching us on Breakfast this morning.

:24:08. > :24:09.Humiliating and degrading, just two of the words used

:24:10. > :24:12.to describe the treatment of some rape claimants in Britain's courts.

:24:13. > :24:15.Victim support groups told BBC Breakfast that people who say

:24:16. > :24:17.they've been raped are being routinely questioned

:24:18. > :24:20.Some would argue that's vital for a fair trial,

:24:21. > :24:23.but others suggest it is irrelevant and putting people

:24:24. > :24:27.This morning a bill will be presented to MPs in Parliament,

:24:28. > :24:29.arguing more should be done to protect possible rape victims

:24:30. > :24:50.Sees other places where justice is served but today, claims that in

:24:51. > :24:55.some cases it is where rape victims feel violated all over again. It was

:24:56. > :25:06.awful to be degraded in such a way and to be so totally humiliated.

:25:07. > :25:10.Ivy's retrial ended in 2015 but she said the grilling she received was

:25:11. > :25:14.as bad as the physical assault. Sellar specific questions they asked

:25:15. > :25:21.me were how many is sexual partners have had? The accused me of someone

:25:22. > :25:24.who was promiscuous. It was appalling. I was told that line of

:25:25. > :25:30.questioning wasn't allowed, it was consigned to the Dark Ages and it

:25:31. > :25:37.didn't happen. But it does. And it does. The charity told me this

:25:38. > :25:41.happens too often. We are hearing as victims being questioned about the

:25:42. > :25:45.number of sexual partners they have had in the past or the colour of the

:25:46. > :25:49.dress they were wearing at the time of the attack or even behaviour in

:25:50. > :25:53.the past of the victim that they have had a mental health issue or

:25:54. > :25:56.whether they have had an issue with alcohol in the past, somehow been

:25:57. > :25:59.brought into this as being relevant that what it is actually doing is

:26:00. > :26:05.victim shaming and blaming. Detection for victims already exist

:26:06. > :26:10.under section 41 of the youth Justice and criminal act. References

:26:11. > :26:14.to sexual activity should only be rarely allowed but new research

:26:15. > :26:19.carried out in court in Newcastle suggests this might be happening in

:26:20. > :26:23.around one third of all cases. What I fear is that we are going to the

:26:24. > :26:26.hard old days of the 80s in the 70s were victims were essentially the

:26:27. > :26:36.dock themselves and interrogated, quizzed over past. The time is right

:26:37. > :26:43.now to address justice. This is why today the MP will present a private

:26:44. > :26:47.members bar where victims can go who might be scared away from making a

:26:48. > :26:54.complaint. If you had known then how you would be treated, would you have

:26:55. > :27:00.proceeded? Definitely not. It was a total character annihilation. Last

:27:01. > :27:02.year, there were around 36,000 rape allegations made to police and only

:27:03. > :27:08.2.5 thousand convictions. Campaigners believe that is because

:27:09. > :27:12.some victims are dropping out of the judicial process echoes they fear

:27:13. > :27:17.what will happen to them under cross-examination in court. In a

:27:18. > :27:21.statement, the Ministry of Justice says the bar for the disclosure of

:27:22. > :27:24.complaints of sexual history is high that we have listened to the

:27:25. > :27:31.concerns raised and are looking at how the law is used in practice.

:27:32. > :27:35.They need to rebalance it in favour of the victim. Others say defendants

:27:36. > :27:37.are equally entitled to a fair trial but the balance cannot shift too

:27:38. > :27:40.far. We will talk about that more at

:27:41. > :27:43.length at ten past eight. details of organisations offering

:27:44. > :27:47.information and support And if you think you've been

:27:48. > :27:51.affected by any of these issues, details of organisations offering

:31:52. > :31:54.to reach its final stages Last night, the Government

:31:55. > :31:57.saw off a potential rebellion from Conservative

:31:58. > :31:59.backbenchers, after promising that any final deal would

:32:00. > :32:01.be put to Parliament. But tonight's vote could

:32:02. > :32:04.cause more Labour rifts, with the party's MPs told

:32:05. > :32:12.to back the Brexit bill. Plans to treat more patients

:32:13. > :32:15.in the community have so far failed to save money, or reduce hospital

:32:19. > :32:19.spending watchdog. The National Audit Office says

:32:20. > :32:21.ministers were over-optimistic in thinking a scheme called

:32:22. > :32:24.the Better Care Fund The Department of Health says it's

:32:25. > :32:33.too soon to judge the Fund's impact. Government lawyers in America have

:32:34. > :32:36.been trying to convince an appeals court to reinstate President Trump's

:32:37. > :32:40.ban on people from seven mainly Muslim countries entering

:32:41. > :32:41.the United States. They said Mr Trump was

:32:42. > :32:44.acting within his powers, and that the court which suspended

:32:45. > :32:47.the ban last week made an error. But two US states argued it

:34:52. > :34:55.eight o'clock? I came in for the headline and the camera came around

:34:56. > :35:01.and I realised I was not meant to be here. You should sit here throughout

:35:02. > :35:05.the show. But then I would go and do all my extra bits and work and find

:35:06. > :35:11.out what all the information is on things like Leicester, for example.

:35:12. > :35:15.Interesting stage management yesterday, wasn't it? A fantastic

:35:16. > :35:24.vote of confidence in Claudio Ranieri. He gave everyone time to

:35:25. > :35:29.read the released statement and then had a press conference. It was all

:35:30. > :35:36.thought through. He is confident. There is something going on. All

:35:37. > :35:41.sorts of whispers about discontent. Players are not happy, coaches are

:35:42. > :35:43.not happy, staff are not talking to each other. But he did get

:35:57. > :35:59.yesterday saying "the entire club is, and will remain,

:36:00. > :36:01.united behind its manager." Of course, when you don't win,

:36:02. > :36:06.you lack a little bit of confidence. Fortunately, these

:36:07. > :36:08.players are warriors. They have already

:36:09. > :36:11.lived this situation. They lived with the good things,

:36:12. > :36:20.but also the bad things. Leicester are in FA

:36:25. > :36:32.2-2 at Pride Park. Leicester are very

:36:35. > :36:36.of reaching the heights I watched the first 40 minutes

:36:37. > :36:40.against Manchester United. They dominated with their usual

:36:41. > :36:43.aggressive and pressing selves. But the ball is not

:38:28. > :38:32.team for some time. Wales were thrashed 92-27

:38:33. > :38:35.by New Zealand in the first of two New Zealand dominated the match

:38:36. > :38:39.and led Wales by 27 points Wales struggled to claw back

:38:40. > :38:43.the gap as New Zealand, who are ranked second in the world,

:38:44. > :38:46.added 25 more goals The two teams will play

:38:47. > :38:50.each other again today. Wales top the Six Nations table

:38:51. > :38:53.on points difference heading into the second round

:38:54. > :38:55.of games this weekend. But ahead of a crucial

:38:56. > :38:57.match against England, Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones has

:38:58. > :39:00.been preparing a little differently He's been pulling pints

:39:01. > :39:03.of "Ale Wyn," which is being served His side have a tight turnaround

:39:04. > :39:09.to get ready for the England game on Saturday and they have

:39:10. > :39:15.some injury concerns. We can make a fuss about it

:39:16. > :39:34.but that will be an excuse. we have quick turnarounds

:39:35. > :39:36.with more games. It is something you

:39:37. > :39:38.have to deal with. There is that physicality

:39:39. > :39:41.at an international level. We experience it in the season

:39:42. > :39:55.and we have to get on with it. I have some beer facts for you. That

:39:56. > :40:05.is an IPA, Indian pale ale, 5%. Really? Sally... You can tell I am

:40:06. > :40:10.not a beer expert. I have been doing some beer Googling. Going down a

:40:11. > :40:13.storm. As is the Six Nations. Unsurprisingly. Saturday will be

:40:14. > :40:34.fantastic. Brilliant. Thank you. Were joined by a representative who

:40:35. > :40:40.will tell us about a trial where school teachers will wear body cams.

:40:41. > :40:45.This is happening in two schools in agreement with local education

:40:46. > :40:51.authorities. It is the first trial of teachers actually wearing video

:40:52. > :40:56.cameras in classrooms. The idea is that there are several reasons for

:40:57. > :41:01.doing it but one overarching reason is to reduce low level disruption in

:41:02. > :41:07.the classroom so they can get on with teaching. Many questions. Do

:41:08. > :41:12.the pupils know the teachers are wearing the body cameras? Yes. The

:41:13. > :41:16.body cameras are designed like policeman cameras, to be highly

:41:17. > :41:21.visible. They are not running all the time. They are only switched on

:41:22. > :41:26.when they are required or as is necessary. There is usually a light.

:41:27. > :41:32.The students can see themselves being filmed on the chest of the

:41:33. > :41:37.teacher. Why have the teachers decided this is necessary? I think

:41:38. > :41:42.it was not just the teachers. It was a whole series of people involved in

:41:43. > :41:50.the decision. But you'd do get a lot of complaints from teachers having

:41:51. > :41:55.to be in charge of controlling the class rather than teaching at. This

:41:56. > :42:02.is a way to get rid of the disruption to get the teaching hours

:42:03. > :42:07.doing teaching. It is only a pilot scheme. Is there evidence it is

:42:08. > :42:12.working? Yes. Everyone seems happy with it that is involved in the

:42:13. > :42:17.project. The parents have been fully informed. The teachers themselves

:42:18. > :42:23.that are using the cameras seem to be fairly happy with them. But there

:42:24. > :42:29.is no formal evaluation at this stage. It is just the pilot stage.

:42:30. > :42:35.For example, if there where an incident, it was filmed, what would

:42:36. > :42:40.that footage be used for? It is quite interesting in schools

:42:41. > :42:43.actually because you could use it for standard... You could use it in

:42:44. > :42:47.the standard way that the police use it which would be either to

:42:48. > :42:54.prosecute or at least offer cautions or whatever. So, within a school

:42:55. > :43:00.contexts, that may be in the disciplinarian procedure as

:43:01. > :43:03.evidence. But you have more options in the school because you can

:43:04. > :43:07.actually use it to teach the students through reflection, perhaps

:43:08. > :43:12.involve the parents in it as well, avoiding the disciplinary process

:43:13. > :43:17.and bringing about the desired change in behaviour without

:43:18. > :43:21.resorting to a discipline process. There has been some criticism

:43:22. > :43:25.already. Is it appropriate for schools to be collecting this type

:43:26. > :43:29.of evidence? I think you have to bear in mind that many schools have

:43:30. > :43:34.already got CCTV cameras, perhaps not always in the classroom. There

:43:35. > :43:37.has been some controversy recently about whether you should have in

:43:38. > :43:42.school toilet because there are problems happening there. The

:43:43. > :43:48.cameras are already without. Most of the pupils have smartphones. So we

:43:49. > :43:52.are moving into of an age were those things are becoming more ubiquitous.

:43:53. > :43:59.This is just a way of actually engaging it, I think, in a way that

:44:00. > :44:04.is not intrusive and big brother like. That is what I was going to

:44:05. > :44:06.ask. Tom Ellis, a Criminal Justice researcher from Portsmouth

:44:07. > :44:11.University. He revealed the information. Thank you very much. Do

:44:12. > :44:21.get in contact if you want to talk to us about it. It is a new trial.

:44:22. > :44:24.What was it? Breakfast at BBC! Lots of people do know how to find us.

:44:25. > :44:33.This is Breakfast. The main stories. The Bill authorising Theresa May

:44:34. > :44:37.to start the process of leaving the European Union is due

:44:38. > :44:40.to reach its final stages Efforts to treat more patients

:44:41. > :44:45.in the community have neither saved money nor eased pressure on the NHS

:44:46. > :44:55.- according to a report This weather forecast I will do a

:44:56. > :44:57.count of how many times you say the word cold. Good morning.

:44:58. > :45:08.It is -4 in Northern Ireland. -3 here. It is colder in Northern

:45:09. > :45:13.Ireland. Quite good start. This morning, fairly cloudy in the east.

:45:14. > :45:18.Some rain and drizzle around. In the west, it is right, it is cold, the

:45:19. > :45:23.risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Frost. This ridge of high pressure

:45:24. > :45:29.means we are looking at sunshine. This weather front in the east means

:45:30. > :45:33.we will try to get it back today. Cold Continental air will be allowed

:45:34. > :45:39.to push across our shores. Where we have the yellows, comparatively

:45:40. > :45:44.mild. In the west, some sunshine to look board to. Central and eastern

:45:45. > :45:48.areas, still some showers. Most of those will be with rain and the odd

:45:49. > :45:54.snow flurry though nothing substantial. Further snow falling in

:45:55. > :45:58.the Grampians. Later in the day as the temperatures fall, we will see

:45:59. > :46:01.some at low levels, though not substantial. Northern England, the

:46:02. > :46:07.Midlands, East Anglia, the south, all that cloud around. A few

:46:08. > :46:13.showers. Some sleet. That is all. Six degrees in London. The west,

:46:14. > :46:17.still, we have some of the showers. The south-west, a beautiful

:46:18. > :46:23.afternoon. A lot of sunshine. Not as cold. West Wales, a lot of sunshine,

:46:24. > :46:29.the same, not as cold. The east of Wales, cloud once more. Northern

:46:30. > :46:34.Ireland, a cracking day ahead. Seven degrees in Belfast. It is currently

:46:35. > :46:38.freezing. Overnight, where we have the clear skies in the west is where

:46:39. > :46:43.the temperatures will drop. Once again, looking at a widespread

:46:44. > :46:47.frost. It could well be a little bit of ice to look forward to in the

:46:48. > :46:51.morning depending on how damp it gets. More cloud in central and

:46:52. > :46:55.eastern areas. Still producing some showers. The temperatures will be

:46:56. > :46:59.lower so some of those will have a wintry component in them down the

:47:00. > :47:03.east coast of Scotland and England. We start tomorrow with the sunshine

:47:04. > :47:07.out towards the west. Like clouds are producing some showers. What you

:47:08. > :47:11.will find us along the coastline of Scotland and also England, you will

:47:12. > :47:17.find it will be rain and sleet. You do not have to travel to fight

:47:18. > :47:22.inland to find a bit of sleet and snow. -- too far. They will not be

:47:23. > :47:31.enough to build a snowman. The cold air is going further west. Northern

:47:32. > :47:36.Ireland, some weather. England, across the Pennines, north-east

:47:37. > :47:42.England, part of the Grampians and Aberdeenshire, lower levels. 1-2

:47:43. > :47:50.centimetres. Almost twice that with a bit more height.

:47:51. > :47:57.No snowmen? Maybe in the Grampians. I think you and I can do that,

:47:58. > :48:03.Carol. Thanks, Carol. Yesterday the government published

:48:04. > :48:06.plans for a new housing strategy - this morning Ben is speaking

:48:07. > :48:18.to the boss of one of The traditional housebuilders, the

:48:19. > :48:21.ones that build on building sites are not either factory. The

:48:22. > :48:24.accusation is that they are not building enough and that is why

:48:25. > :48:26.prices are going up. Redrow is one of the big developers

:48:27. > :48:29.in England and Wales - But it's the Government's Housing

:48:30. > :48:37.white paper that will have the biggest impact

:48:38. > :48:40.over the coming year - so let's speak to the

:48:41. > :48:56.Chairman Steve Morgan. Good morning, Mr Morgan. You without

:48:57. > :49:02.your heart the early results. Three things struck me. ?140 million in

:49:03. > :49:06.pre-tax profits. That is at 35% on the Centre and lusty. Prices that

:49:07. > :49:12.you can sell for our rocketing, are by 7%. -- last year. The housing

:49:13. > :49:18.market is broken, say some people but it is not broken for you, is it?

:49:19. > :49:23.Saying the market was broken is an unfortunate phrase. It certainly

:49:24. > :49:27.isn't broken. Our house prices are up 7% but that is not inflation,

:49:28. > :49:32.that is more to do with the fact that all of our growth is coming in

:49:33. > :49:36.the south of England and in London where house prices are higher debt

:49:37. > :49:39.to the rest of the group which is in the Midlands and the north. It's

:49:40. > :49:43.interesting that you say that it is not broken yet many people watching

:49:44. > :49:46.this will say they are not able to get a deposit together to buy a

:49:47. > :49:51.house, high prices artificially high and they can't get in the ladder and

:49:52. > :49:55.yet you are able to sell your houses for 7% more over the course of the

:49:56. > :49:59.year. If you are trying to get on the ladder, it is absolutely broken.

:50:00. > :50:03.Yes but it is not the builders' fault. You have been looking at

:50:04. > :50:06.successive planning policies over the last years. There haven't been

:50:07. > :50:09.enough houses built because they haven't been enough planning

:50:10. > :50:15.permissions to build them. The system is still broken today. In

:50:16. > :50:22.that sense, the housing market is broken it as it's not fit for

:50:23. > :50:28.purpose. What would you like to see change? It's funny because we have

:50:29. > :50:32.site in the north of England right opposite a site that we had

:50:33. > :50:38.permission for in 1990. This time we got 68 conditions to clear which it

:50:39. > :50:44.takes for ever to clear before you can get on. In 1990, we have six

:50:45. > :50:49.conditions. That is the root of the problem. It just takes so long to

:50:50. > :50:56.clear through the bureaucracy. You call that planning process.

:50:57. > :51:07.Unfortunately remaining as ponderous as ever. You are talking about the

:51:08. > :51:14.landbank of where you can develop. Give me a timeline. Relatively a

:51:15. > :51:18.third of the houses are stuck in the planning process. We don't have the

:51:19. > :51:25.approvals and conditions cleared. The actual net buildable is more

:51:26. > :51:37.like about 16 thousand, 17,000 plots which is just over three years'

:51:38. > :51:41.supply. We need the pipeline to sustain growth. That is why, as a

:51:42. > :51:48.country, we are still not building enough houses. The government set a

:51:49. > :51:51.target of around 3 million to properties by 2020. Buy your own

:51:52. > :51:56.admission, it is a small contribution. We are not building

:51:57. > :52:01.enough. The larger builders are building more than they have ever

:52:02. > :52:05.built that the issue is the smaller, medium-sized builders. Again, they

:52:06. > :52:11.have these huge problem of overcoming planning red tape and

:52:12. > :52:16.burden. The amount... If we have the same amount of builders as we had in

:52:17. > :52:19.2007 today, we would be building an extra 20,000 homes in the country

:52:20. > :52:27.but the reality is, the planning system has got so bureaucratic that

:52:28. > :52:31.it is a huge barrier to entry. The SNP are all about disappearing and

:52:32. > :52:35.that is the problem. The small builders are not building what they

:52:36. > :52:37.used to build. OK, it is good to talk to you. Steve Morgan, the

:52:38. > :52:46.chairman of Redrow home. We heard it from the boss. The

:52:47. > :52:50.planning process is as ponderous as ever. They want to build more houses

:52:51. > :52:55.and they have the sites for 25,000 of them that the planning process is

:52:56. > :52:58.too slow and it continues to be a shortage of skilled workers. That

:52:59. > :53:01.could be many of the things that are holding those big housebuilders back

:53:02. > :53:02.that we will be discussing over the course of the week.

:53:03. > :53:06.It has to be one of the most stunning free shows on earth -

:53:07. > :53:08.and it's currently playing in Cumbria.

:53:09. > :53:10.Tens of thousands of starlings are performing a nightly

:53:11. > :53:13.Their synchronised flying creates an amazing aerial ballet.

:53:14. > :53:17.The Friends of the Lake District has organised a number of viewing events

:53:18. > :53:19.before the season ends later this month -

:53:20. > :53:37.It's an aerial ballet with a cast of thousands.

:53:38. > :53:41.A mass of starlings flying in mesmerising harmony.

:53:42. > :53:45.The dictionary tells us this is called a murmuration.

:53:46. > :53:49.It also tells us the word has been in use for hundreds of years

:53:50. > :53:54.Nobody really knows why it is called this.

:53:55. > :53:56.It's an interesting word because they do not really murmur.

:53:57. > :54:05.But why do they form these patterns and move together in harmony?

:54:06. > :54:12.There is some suggestion that come together at dusk in a big group

:54:13. > :54:17.because it protects them from predators.

:54:18. > :54:21.Why they do this and amazing aerial ballet before they settle down for

:54:22. > :54:23.the night, nobody knows. Why would anyone want

:54:24. > :54:28.to spend a night here? And so an audience gathered

:54:29. > :54:30.in Cumbria for one of the greatest free

:54:31. > :54:39.free shows on Earth. This is one of several murmuration

:54:40. > :54:40.viewings posted by Friends of the Lake District.

:54:41. > :54:42.I'm a reporter for my school magazine.

:54:43. > :54:51.I'm going to write it up on the computer.

:54:52. > :54:53.Are you going to take some pictures as well?

:54:54. > :54:56.Hopefully my mum has remembered my phone.

:54:57. > :54:59.I have two capture it on my camera over

:55:00. > :55:02.there and if I miss anything, can I borrow your shots?

:55:03. > :55:20.As dusk gathers, so too do the stars of the show.

:55:21. > :55:30.The sky turns black and it's just amazing.

:55:31. > :55:35.I've seen them before in other places but nothing

:55:36. > :55:41.Someone estimated there was 60,000 or so

:55:42. > :55:53.Then as darkness falls, so too do the starlings.

:55:54. > :56:04.It is curtain down on another perfect performance.

:56:05. > :56:11.We were talking about an expert earlier on and they still don't know

:56:12. > :56:15.how they know whether to turn left or swoop at the same time. It's

:56:16. > :56:17.really lovely. It's the season at the moment so if you can see them,

:56:18. > :56:19.too. Time now to get the news,

:56:20. > :00:22.travel and weather where you are. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:00:23. > :00:25.with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. The Brexit bill goes to the vote

:00:26. > :00:28.as MPs decide whether to give Theresa May the power

:00:29. > :00:32.to leave the EU. that any final deal will be

:00:33. > :00:35.put to the Commons. Tonight it could be Labour MPs

:00:36. > :00:37.defying their leader. We'll be live at Westminster

:00:38. > :00:52.with the latest. Campaigners demand tougher limits

:00:53. > :01:10.on the use of sexual It was awful to be degraded in such

:01:11. > :01:29.a way. To be so totally humiliated. An overdraft could cost you five

:01:30. > :01:38.times more than a payday loan. Is it the dreaded vote of

:01:39. > :01:42.confidence. Leicester City have given their support to their manager

:01:43. > :01:49.despite the reigning Premier League champions being just a point above

:01:50. > :01:59.the relegation zone. We will be looking at the science

:02:00. > :02:03.behind starling murmur rations. And Carol has the weather. It will

:02:04. > :02:08.turn colder. It is snow showers. What we have got today are brighter

:02:09. > :02:11.skies in the west with the risk of ice. More cloud in central and

:02:12. > :02:24.eastern areas with rain. But I will have a full forecast in 15 minutes.

:02:25. > :02:30.The Bill giving Theresa May the power to start the process

:02:31. > :02:33.of leaving the EU is due to reach its final stages

:02:34. > :02:37.Last night, the Government saw off a potential rebellion

:02:38. > :02:39.from Conservative backbenchers, but today's debate could cause more

:02:40. > :02:41.Labour rifts with its MPs told to back the Bill.

:02:42. > :02:44.Here's our political correspondent Tom Bateman.

:02:45. > :02:45.A battle for control over the process of Brexit.

:02:46. > :02:50.Last night MPs ended more than seven hours of debate which contained

:02:51. > :02:58.what some saw as a concession from the Government.

:02:59. > :03:02.I can confirm on the final agreement to be approved before both Houses

:03:03. > :03:10.In other words MPs will get to vote on any future Brexit deal before

:03:11. > :03:13.it is signed off by the Government and the EU, but Theresa May's

:03:14. > :03:16.negotiations with other EU leaders are likely to be complex and some

:03:17. > :03:19.MPs are worried about her threat to walk away from the talks rather

:03:20. > :03:26.What the House wants is the opportunity to send

:03:27. > :03:28.the Government back to our EU partners to negotiate a deal if one

:03:29. > :03:34.Last night the Government saw off a number of attempts to add

:03:35. > :03:37.conditions to the Bill which gives it the power to start Brexit.

:03:38. > :03:40.But some backbenchers remain unhappy at what ministers offered

:03:41. > :03:45.and the divisions between those who argued for Brexit

:03:46. > :03:49.and those who had campaigned against it were plain to see.

:03:50. > :03:51.The Bill reaches its final stages in the Commons today threatening

:03:52. > :03:53.to expose further rifts within Labour and more tough

:03:54. > :04:06.Our Political Correspondent Carol Walker is in

:04:07. > :04:20.People will be looking closely at how MPs will vote? Good morning. I

:04:21. > :04:23.think we will see more passionate debate and some more important

:04:24. > :04:26.debates in the Houses of Parliament today, but the Government is

:04:27. > :04:31.confident that by tonight it will have got through all its stages in

:04:32. > :04:36.the Commons. It goes on to the Lords, but after that series of

:04:37. > :04:41.convincing victories yesterday, I think ministers are hopeful that MPs

:04:42. > :04:46.will back it tonight and then the Lords will be reluctant to try to

:04:47. > :04:50.introduce too many amendments to disrupt the legislation too much.

:04:51. > :04:53.What happens then? Well, I think much of the focus tonight will be

:04:54. > :04:58.back on to the Labour Party because Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader,

:04:59. > :05:02.has said that all his MPs should vote to support the legislation.

:05:03. > :05:06.That's very difficult for some who campaigned very strongly to remain

:05:07. > :05:11.in the EU, whose constituents may have wanted very much to remain in

:05:12. > :05:16.the EU. There was a significant rebellion, more than 40 MPs last

:05:17. > :05:20.week, there were three resignations so far from his Shadow Cabinet and I

:05:21. > :05:24.think many people will be watching Diane Abbott closely. She is the

:05:25. > :05:28.Shadow Home Secretary, a close ally of the Labour leader. She failed to

:05:29. > :05:33.vote last week prompting accusations from some of her colleagues who had

:05:34. > :05:38.seen her looking perky earlier in the day it was a bad case of Brexit

:05:39. > :05:42.flu to avoid an embarrassing vote. If she fails to turn up today that

:05:57. > :05:59.Staff at the two comprehensives in England are wearing the cameras,

:06:07. > :06:07.Privacy campaigners have criticised the move.

:06:08. > :06:11.The Department of Education says is a matter for the schools.

:06:12. > :06:20.Tom Ellis is part of the trial. He told us on Breakfast that the

:06:21. > :06:25.cameras hand teachers back control of the classroom. We get a lot of

:06:26. > :06:28.complaints from teachers about having to be in charge of

:06:29. > :06:32.controlling the class rather than teaching it. I think this is some

:06:33. > :06:35.way of trying to get rid of the disruption and actually end up

:06:36. > :06:43.spending more of your teaching hours actually doing the teaching.

:06:51. > :06:52.They said Mr Trump was acting within his powers and that the court

:06:53. > :06:55.which suspended the ban last week made an error.

:06:56. > :07:03.But two US states argued it discriminated against Muslims.

:07:04. > :07:06.Plans to treat more patients in the community have so far failed

:07:11. > :07:17.The National Audit Office says ministers

:07:18. > :07:20.were over optimistic in thinking a scheme called the Better Care Fund

:07:21. > :07:25.When residents of this care home in Sutton have to go to hospital,

:07:26. > :07:29.an innovative scheme helps cut their stay to a minimum.

:07:30. > :07:32.Their medical and personal details go with them in distinctive red bags

:07:33. > :07:34.so doctors and nurses can make faster and more effective

:07:35. > :07:42.It's been a great asset for us and we're able to pass

:07:43. > :07:48.the information on with a guarantee that it's going from

:07:49. > :07:51.ambulance to A and to the ward and following them through.

:07:52. > :07:53.We have been able to reduce time of stay by four days

:07:54. > :07:56.which is massive when you think about how stretched

:07:57. > :08:06.The National Audit Office says the spending of more than ?5 billion

:08:07. > :08:09.of council money on integrating health and social care has not

:08:10. > :08:18.Starting in 2014-2015, the scheme aimed to reduce emergency

:08:19. > :08:22.admissions to hospital by more than 100,000.

:08:23. > :08:25.But in 2015-2016, admissions actually went up by 87,000.

:08:26. > :08:28.Over the same period, the project was supposed to reduce

:08:29. > :08:32.the number of days lost because people were stuck

:08:33. > :08:40.in hospital to just under 300,000 but they had increased.

:08:41. > :08:42.The Public Accounts Committee wants long-term solutions rather

:08:43. > :08:48.They need to look at why this isn't working.

:08:49. > :08:51.What is it that is stopping the beds being available even

:08:52. > :08:55.when there is some money being thrown at them,

:08:56. > :08:58.The Government says it's too soon to judge the impact

:08:59. > :09:06.Yemen is on the brink of famine according to the United Nations.

:09:07. > :09:09.The country has been in the grip of a civil war between

:09:10. > :09:13.government forces and Houthi rebel groups since 2014.

:09:14. > :09:16.It's estimated that 80% of the population are in urgent need

:09:17. > :09:34.of humanitarian assistance, with children the worst affected.

:09:35. > :09:37.We've heard about the travel ban but one other story involving

:09:38. > :09:39.President Trump that's making headlines in US - does he,

:09:40. > :09:48.Lots of old pictures of him wearing a bathrobe have

:09:49. > :09:51.It's after his press secretary told journalists the President

:09:52. > :09:55.The White House had apparently been angered by a New York Times article

:09:56. > :09:58.which suggested President Trump sits around watching TV in his dressing

:09:59. > :10:04.It's become one of Donald Trump's most used phrases.

:10:05. > :10:17.The president's latest spat with the media is over this,

:10:18. > :10:21.a bath robe, and whether he does or does not own one.

:10:22. > :10:28.This New York Times report described a chaotic start to his presidency.

:10:29. > :10:33.But it was the claim that Mr Trump spent considerable time watching

:10:34. > :10:34.television in his bathroom that seemed to particularly

:10:35. > :10:38.That is literally the epitome of fake news.

:10:39. > :10:40.I mean, start at the top, I don't think the President

:10:41. > :10:49.From top to bottom it is a made-up story that does not exist.

:10:50. > :10:51.And the President tweeted, of course, his annoyance

:10:52. > :10:54.at what he described as poor reporting.

:10:55. > :10:57.And that bath robe denial prompted people across the globe to take

:10:58. > :11:12.to social media to contradict the White House.

:11:13. > :11:23.Some delved deep into archives to find these older images.

:11:24. > :11:26.There were Donald Trump branded robes too.

:11:27. > :11:28.And it spawned parodies and spoof images.

:11:29. > :11:35.This picture of Ronald Reagan did the rounds.

:11:36. > :11:41.One Tweet said he should not be so shy about wearing the garment.

:11:42. > :11:44.But others on line said the government and public had more

:11:45. > :11:50.serious matters to discuss rather than his choice of loungewear.

:11:51. > :11:53.Humiliating and degrading, just two of the words used

:11:54. > :11:56.to describe the treatment of some rape claimants in Britain's courts.

:11:57. > :12:00.Victim support groups told BBC Breakfast that people

:12:01. > :12:01.who say they've been raped are being routinely questioned

:12:02. > :12:09.Some would argue that's vital for a fair trial,

:12:10. > :12:14.but others suggest it is irrelevant and putting people

:12:15. > :12:19.This morning a Bill will be presented to MPs in Parliament,

:12:20. > :12:22.arguing more should be done to protect possible rape victims

:12:23. > :12:32.These are the places where justice is served,

:12:33. > :12:35.but today claims that in some cases it is where rape victims feel

:12:36. > :12:43.It was awful to be degraded in such a way, to be so totally humiliated.

:12:44. > :12:45.Ivy's rape trial ended with conviction at the end of 2015,

:12:46. > :12:47.but she said the grilling she received felt as bad

:12:48. > :12:56.The specific questions they asked me where,

:12:57. > :12:59.how many previous sexual partners have I had?

:13:00. > :13:02.They accused me of being someone who was promiscuous.

:13:03. > :13:09.I was told that line of questioning was allowed,

:13:10. > :13:12.it was resigned to the dark ages, it didn't happen.

:13:13. > :13:19.The charity Voice for Victims tells me this is happening too often.

:13:20. > :13:24.We are hearing from victims being questioned about the number

:13:25. > :13:29.of sexual partners they have had in the past or the colour

:13:30. > :13:33.of the dress they were wearing at the time of the attack,

:13:34. > :13:46.but what it is actually doing is victim shaming and blaming.

:13:47. > :13:55.Protection for victims already exists.

:13:56. > :13:59.Under section 41 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act

:14:00. > :14:03.references to sexual history should be heavily restricted

:14:04. > :14:14.But new research carried out in courts in Newcastle suggest this

:14:15. > :14:18.might be happening in around a third of all cases.

:14:19. > :14:26.What I fear is we are going back to the bad old days of the 80s,

:14:27. > :14:29.the 70s, when victims were effectively put in the dock

:14:30. > :14:37.This is why today the MP will present a Private Member's Bill

:14:38. > :14:43.to parliament to offer better protection for victims.

:14:44. > :14:47.If you had known then how you were going to be treated,

:14:48. > :14:55.Definitely not, it was a total character annihilation.

:14:56. > :15:00.Campaigners say we need to redress the court room balance back

:15:01. > :15:08.Others say defendants are equally entitled to a fair trial.

:15:09. > :15:15.Joining us now from Westminster is the MP Liz Saville Roberts,

:15:16. > :15:21.who'll present her Private Member's Bill to the House of

:15:22. > :15:28.Here in the studio, is Hannah Quirk, a senior

:15:29. > :15:29.lecturer from the University of Manchester's School of Law.

:15:30. > :16:04.We have spoken to one lady who said she would think again about court.

:16:05. > :16:24.Have you seen this type of questioning? Has it changed people's

:16:25. > :16:34.minds about what they are doing? We have taken evidence from a number of

:16:35. > :16:57.victims who felt they were Why is it happening and should

:16:58. > :17:00.attitudes change perhaps? I am concerned this is being used more

:17:01. > :17:09.regularly than it was originally intended. The law that is supposed

:17:10. > :17:14.to prevent this happening is unclear and it was written a few years ago.

:17:15. > :17:17.What worries me is that victims will be concerned that in the back of

:17:18. > :17:20.their minds is the fact that many people now live their lives on

:17:21. > :17:26.social media and they will worry about the sort of evidence they put

:17:27. > :17:31.up on that about their past. We have to address section 41 to make sure

:17:32. > :17:38.there is clarity on that. Also there is clarity on what is expected on

:17:39. > :17:42.procedure from judges. We had evidence in Newcastle that the

:17:43. > :17:46.procedure was not followed correctly. There needs to be a

:17:47. > :17:53.discussion and perhaps training on what constitutes consent with Jewry

:17:54. > :17:58.'s. Hannah, it is important to explain what section 41 is and why

:17:59. > :18:03.it is important in rape trials. The previous government introduced

:18:04. > :18:07.legislation saying that this legislation should not be

:18:08. > :18:11.admissible, it should not matter what the complainant had done

:18:12. > :18:17.previously, it would never be relevant. The case was taken to the

:18:18. > :18:23.House of Lords and they said there was an absolute blanket ban, said

:18:24. > :18:28.the legislation was changed to allow specific circumstances where it was

:18:29. > :18:32.relevant. It is difficult for defendants, and I worry sometimes we

:18:33. > :18:37.only hear about these horror stories which of itself may put people off

:18:38. > :18:42.from reporting these cases to the police. If we look at how cases are

:18:43. > :18:47.dealt with, there have been improvements over the last 20 years.

:18:48. > :18:53.I am totally sympathetic to some of the games, but I am not sure more

:18:54. > :18:55.legislation is the way of doing it. You may get prosecutions being

:18:56. > :19:01.stopped if judges think there will not be a fair trial, it may be

:19:02. > :19:05.counter-productive. I want to talk about that discussion of consent.

:19:06. > :19:11.How would that take place and who would lead those discussions? Would

:19:12. > :19:17.that be for the court to do? It is part of the criminal justice system,

:19:18. > :19:23.but if I can return to statistics. 36,000 rapes reported to the police

:19:24. > :19:30.last year and yet only 7.5% of those went to a conviction. We have a

:19:31. > :19:34.situation where we should be almost continually making sure the balance

:19:35. > :19:38.is correct between the rights of the defendant and the complainant. At

:19:39. > :19:41.present there are real concerns that the rights of the victim are playing

:19:42. > :19:45.second fiddle to the rights of the defendant. Thank you both very much.

:19:46. > :19:49.And if you think you've been affected by any of these issues,

:19:50. > :19:51.details of organisations offering information and support are

:19:52. > :19:54.available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free,

:20:06. > :20:10.The Bill authorising Theresa May to start the process of leaving

:20:11. > :20:13.the European Union is due to reach its final stages

:20:14. > :20:20.Efforts to treat more patients in the community have neither saved

:20:21. > :20:23.money nor eased pressure on the NHS according to a report

:20:24. > :20:37.Carroll has told us so many times it is going to be cold.

:20:38. > :20:43.Good morning. It certainly is as we go through the rest of the week and

:20:44. > :20:47.some of us will have some snow. In the West it is a brighter start and

:20:48. > :20:52.a colder start and there is a risk of ice and some fog. There will be

:20:53. > :20:57.sunshine from the word go. In the east we have a weather front across

:20:58. > :21:02.the East Coast and that will drift westwards during the day. A big area

:21:03. > :21:07.of high-pressure stubbing it going further east, but that allows cold

:21:08. > :21:16.air to come into many parts of the UK. In the West there is patchy fog

:21:17. > :21:20.still, that will lift and we are looking at some sunshine. In Central

:21:21. > :21:26.and eastern areas there is more cloud around. There are also showers

:21:27. > :21:30.and patchy rain up the coast. In Scotland we will see further snow

:21:31. > :21:37.today, especially in the Grampians, and we will see some of it at lower

:21:38. > :21:41.levels later on. As we push across England, a cloudy day ahead. You

:21:42. > :21:47.might see the odd wintry flurry coming in from the North Sea, but

:21:48. > :21:52.nothing substantial. More showers in Hampshire and Dorset, but in

:21:53. > :21:58.south-west England it is a beautiful day, nine Celsius in Plymouth. But

:21:59. > :22:03.move further east and there is a bit more cloud in Wales. In Ireland a

:22:04. > :22:08.beautiful day in prospect for you, temperatures are well below

:22:09. > :22:13.freezing. But the temperature will pick up and it will be a pleasant

:22:14. > :22:19.day. In the evening and overnight in the West it will be called, there

:22:20. > :22:24.will be a widespread frost. In central and eastern areas there will

:22:25. > :22:28.be more cloud around. As the temperatures go down, the showers

:22:29. > :22:33.will be wintry. On the coast we are looking at some rain and sleet and

:22:34. > :22:39.some snow showers, but they are showers. By no means will we all see

:22:40. > :22:45.them. Tomorrow on the east of Scotland and England we are looking

:22:46. > :22:51.at that combination. Showers, some wintry on the coast and moving

:22:52. > :22:56.inland. We have also got snow on the Pennines and on the Grampians. In

:22:57. > :23:02.the West it is not a bad day at all, but that cold air is filtering

:23:03. > :23:06.further westwards. On Friday a lot of dry weather, but still those

:23:07. > :23:13.showers and the east of the country is prone to them, rain and sleet. On

:23:14. > :23:18.the mowers in the North East, the Pennines, east of Aberdeenshire and

:23:19. > :23:30.the Grampians, we will see snow even at lower levels, just over an inch.

:23:31. > :23:33.After three days of debate, MPs are set to give the government

:23:34. > :23:36.the green light to start the process of Brexit tonight.

:23:37. > :23:38.But triggering Article 50 is only the beginning

:23:39. > :23:40.of our divorce from the EU, so what happens next?

:23:41. > :23:43.We took two people, one who voted Remain and the other Leave,

:23:44. > :23:45.along to Westminster to watch the Commons debates and discuss

:23:46. > :23:48.with MPs from both sides what the future might hold.

:23:49. > :23:52.Our Political Correspondent Ben Wright reports.

:23:53. > :23:56.The countdown to Brexit is picking up pace.

:23:57. > :24:04.After days of debate, the days of divorce talks are about to start.

:24:05. > :24:08.In Westminster to watch them this week was Lance,

:24:09. > :24:12.a Remain voter and Tony who voted for Britain to leave the EU.

:24:13. > :24:16.Just down there is the House of Commons chamber.

:24:17. > :24:20.From the public gallery, Lance and Tony watched MPs argue

:24:21. > :24:24.about the government's Brexit strategy and what role this place

:24:25. > :24:30.should have as Britain begins to leave the European Union.

:24:31. > :24:33.European Union notification of withdrawal bill committee.

:24:34. > :24:39.That is why I am voting against this amendment, because ultimately

:24:40. > :24:46.It is for the Prime Minister to demonstrate her leadership skills

:24:47. > :24:50.and negotiating skills and to get it right.

:24:51. > :24:53.As we go to that new relationship, please, could we have a say?

:24:54. > :25:01.Not on behalf of Parliament but on behalf of all-out constituents.

:25:02. > :25:03.Not on behalf of Parliament but on behalf of all-our constituents.

:25:04. > :25:08.Afterwards, we chewed it all over with two MPs from different sides

:25:09. > :25:10.of the referendum argument in a Westminster pub.

:25:11. > :25:13.Tony, do you worry that some MPs are trying to slow the whole

:25:14. > :25:15.thing down and even stop Brexit from happening?

:25:16. > :25:22.I feel it's against the will of the people.

:25:23. > :25:25.The Leave vote won but it wasn't by a massive, massive majority.

:25:26. > :25:37.You still have to take into account the 48% of us that voted to stay in.

:25:38. > :25:40.People from every political party have questions because there has

:25:41. > :25:43.been absolutely no detail, no transparency, no sctutiny,

:25:44. > :25:53.I hear a lot of people saying that these objectives

:25:54. > :25:58.The best way to do that is with a united front.

:25:59. > :26:01.So how is Brexit to be served up over the next few months?

:26:02. > :26:04.Theresa May plans to formally tell the EU that Britain prepares

:26:05. > :26:06.to leave by the end of March and then tough talks

:26:07. > :26:12.EU rules say there are two years to sort out a divorce deal with the UK.

:26:13. > :26:16.So, Britain will be out of the EU by the spring of 2019.

:26:17. > :26:21.But sorting out a new trade deal could take much longer.

:26:22. > :26:24.Given the difficulty with coming out of the EU,

:26:25. > :26:27.isn't it important that we get the headline decisions made first

:26:28. > :26:32.What is the point of rushing through a decision like this

:26:33. > :26:41.After three days of debate, do we have a clear plan?

:26:42. > :26:44.We have a positive plan we can put away European friends.

:26:45. > :26:49.The key now is do we have enough flexibility.

:26:50. > :26:51.At the end of the process we then have the best deal

:26:52. > :26:59.Nobody expects a Brexit talks to be this civil.

:27:00. > :27:11.And arguments had over real ale will soon move to real world.

:27:12. > :27:21.Real ale has had a mention on the programme a couple of times today.

:27:22. > :30:40.Yes, Sally mentioned it. Time to get news and travel wherever you

:30:41. > :30:49.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom in half

:30:50. > :30:58.Now though it's back to Louise and Dan.

:30:59. > :31:01.Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin

:31:02. > :31:03.The bill giving Theresa May the right to start the process

:31:04. > :31:06.of leaving the EU is due to reach its final stages

:31:07. > :31:09.Last night, the government saw off a potential rebellion

:31:10. > :31:12.from Conservative backbenchers, after promising that any final deal

:31:13. > :31:15.But tonight's vote could cause more Labour rifts, with the party's MPs

:31:16. > :31:22.It's been revealed that teachers in two schools have begun using body

:31:30. > :31:31.It's understood they don't constantly record and only

:31:32. > :31:33.do so when switched on during an incident.

:31:34. > :31:35.Privacy campaigners have criticised the move but the Department

:31:36. > :31:47.of Education says it's a matter for individual schools.

:31:48. > :31:51.Tom Ellis, a criminal justice researcher,

:31:52. > :31:54.whose part of the trial, told BBC Breakfast that the cameras

:31:55. > :31:58.helped teachers take back control of the classroom.

:31:59. > :32:05.You do get quite a lot of complaints from teachers about having to be in

:32:06. > :32:08.charge of controlling the class rather than teaching it. I think

:32:09. > :32:13.this is some way of trying to get rid of the disruption and end up

:32:14. > :32:26.spending much more of your teaching hours actually doing the teaching.

:32:27. > :32:29.It's been revealed that teachers in two schools have begun using body

:36:15. > :36:18.when he struck the ball in anger and hit Arnaud Gabas,

:36:33. > :36:37.didn't know where it went, I see the official, bending down, holding his

:36:38. > :36:43.ire. I was in complete shock and regret right away. I kind of blacked

:36:44. > :36:50.out for the next ten minutes, ashamed of my actions for letting my

:36:51. > :36:56.team down, letting down my country. I think what he means is that he

:36:57. > :36:59.blocked out that ten minutes, he never really wanted to remember that

:37:00. > :37:06.again. I think that is what he is saying.

:37:07. > :37:09.Missed targets, slow delivery and failing to give value for money,

:37:10. > :37:11.that's the damning verdict of the spending watchdog

:37:12. > :37:13.the National Audit Office on a 5-billion-pound scheme

:37:14. > :37:15.to integrate health and social care in England.

:37:16. > :37:20.The aim was to bring together NHS services like GPs

:37:21. > :37:25.and emergency care, with local authority run facilities

:37:26. > :37:39.It was predicted that The Better Care Fund,

:37:40. > :37:42.as it was called, would save the NHS in England ?511 million

:37:43. > :37:47.But today's report by the National Audit Office shows

:37:48. > :37:49.that far from saving money, some aspects have actually

:37:50. > :37:55.The scheme was supposed to reduce emergency admissions

:37:56. > :38:09.In 2015 to 2016 they actually went up by 87,000.

:38:10. > :38:13.The report highlighted there'd been an increase in the number of older

:38:14. > :38:15.people still at home 91 days after being discharged

:38:16. > :38:20.The Department of Health says the Better Care Fund, is just one

:38:21. > :38:22.element of the government's plan to integrate health and social care

:38:23. > :38:24.and it's too early to make a conclusive assessment.

:38:25. > :38:27.Well to give us his reaction Niall Dickson is from the NHS

:38:28. > :38:29.Confederation which represents people and organisations who provide

:38:30. > :38:37.We are hearing about integration of services, practically, what does

:38:38. > :38:41.that mean? A lot of what we are seeing has been well illustrated by

:38:42. > :38:45.your reports on the BBC over the past few days which demonstrate a

:38:46. > :38:51.system that is under enormous pressure, unprecedented pressure,

:38:52. > :38:57.and is coping with fewer staff than it should have, and with a lack of

:38:58. > :39:02.resources. I think that is part of the background that you have to take

:39:03. > :39:06.into account. There is also a direct ignition across the NHS that simply

:39:07. > :39:10.putting more money in, which is necessary, is necessary but not

:39:11. > :39:14.sufficient and the system itself needs to be re-form, that will take

:39:15. > :39:17.time, and one has to have a degree of patience here, we're organising

:39:18. > :39:22.services, trying to get health, social care, GP services more

:39:23. > :39:26.aligned with each other, working more closely together, will take

:39:27. > :39:29.time, and there are further experiments which have been put in

:39:30. > :39:32.place following the better care fund, which one would hope over the

:39:33. > :39:36.next couple of years will start to see results. What one should not do

:39:37. > :39:41.is say that this is the solution to all NHS or social care problems.

:39:42. > :39:46.Social care in particular absolutely needs more money and needs the money

:39:47. > :39:50.urgently. Specifically on the better care fund, you think that it may

:39:51. > :39:55.well be more of a success a few years down the line but at the

:39:56. > :39:58.moment, like many things in the NHS, as we discussed regularly, it is

:39:59. > :40:04.struggling to work within the system? I think you are seeing

:40:05. > :40:08.examples where, for example, the number of admissions of older people

:40:09. > :40:12.into hospital has been reduced. You are seeing examples of hospitals

:40:13. > :40:16.managing to get older people out into care homes, work with care

:40:17. > :40:22.homes, it is to try to train the staff there to manage all the people

:40:23. > :40:27.without referring them to hospital. These initiatives take time, the big

:40:28. > :40:31.question for the NHS, once we are able to identify success, are we

:40:32. > :40:35.able to roll that out across the system? That will be a big task over

:40:36. > :40:41.the next few years. Politicians and the public, I hope, will recognise

:40:42. > :40:45.that this is being set against unprecedented demand. The system is

:40:46. > :40:51.struggling at the moment to cope, and some patience is required as

:40:52. > :40:54.well as extra resource. Some success in some areas, integration working

:40:55. > :40:58.in some places, we can talk about funding streams and issues that we

:40:59. > :41:01.always discussed with the NHS but can you give as an inside this

:41:02. > :41:06.morning, people watching at home, what will this mean to those that

:41:07. > :41:12.are watching? If you take an elderly woman who has four example two or

:41:13. > :41:15.three long-term conditions, she may have diabetes, she may have had a

:41:16. > :41:20.cancer diagnosis and she may be frail on her feet. This is not

:41:21. > :41:24.something that the NHS was traditionally to manage, it was

:41:25. > :41:27.about episodes of illness, and when people became ill, there was a

:41:28. > :41:32.treatment and that was dealt with. Now we are dealing with large

:41:33. > :41:36.numbers of people living with long-term conditions. How we manage

:41:37. > :41:38.that more effectively in the community? Life for her will be

:41:39. > :41:42.different, she may have a different kind of care worker who will be

:41:43. > :41:46.supporting and helping her to stay at home and manage. Hopefully she

:41:47. > :41:51.will have some interaction with voluntary organisations, whether it

:41:52. > :41:55.is Macmillan or Diabetes UK, who will be helping to support her, and

:41:56. > :42:00.keep her as healthy as possible within her own home, rather than

:42:01. > :42:05.having a system at the moment where the chances are three or four times

:42:06. > :42:08.perhaps in a year she will be referred into hospital, where they

:42:09. > :42:12.patch her up and send her back into a system and then there is not the

:42:13. > :42:17.care at home to look after her and then she is stuck in a hospital.

:42:18. > :42:21.None of that is good for the elderly patient and it is not good for the

:42:22. > :42:25.system. We have to find ways to make the system work more effectively,

:42:26. > :42:28.there is a recognition across health and social care in practices, GP

:42:29. > :42:34.practices, community services and hospitals that that is the challenge

:42:35. > :42:42.going forward. We appreciate your time, thank you for joining us.

:42:43. > :42:45.It's day three of the Comic Relief's Red Nose Convoy.

:42:46. > :42:46.This year, six celebrities are travelling across Kenya

:42:47. > :42:48.and into Uganda, delivering aid and visiting projects

:42:49. > :42:52.We'll catch up with comedian and star of Outnumbered Hugh Dennis

:42:53. > :42:56.First, let's get a taste how life on the road has

:42:57. > :43:10.We spoke with David Baddiel the other day, and look at how they

:43:11. > :43:21.would be arguing about driving the car.

:43:22. > :43:24.The acceleration does not do much up the hill.

:43:25. > :43:26.The instructions are in Korean, but apart from that,

:43:27. > :43:31.The car of potential death, as I have now come to think of it,

:43:32. > :43:33.has gone to the garage to be checked, and maybe

:43:34. > :43:54.as I think I will have enough power to overtake a truck

:43:55. > :43:58.so let's see what comes tomorrow.

:43:59. > :44:00.This is the challenge, getting along the road

:44:01. > :44:10.I did not realise it would be as much of a challenge as it is.

:44:11. > :44:12.Katy Brand, Russell Kane, David Baddiel, Reggie Yates,

:44:13. > :44:15.Michaela Coel and, of course, Hugh Dennis, who're all taking part

:44:16. > :44:24.And Hugh joins us now from Kericho in western Kenya.

:44:25. > :44:35.Good morning, how are you doing? Good morning, we are doing very

:44:36. > :44:40.well, we did have a few problems, all three cars have problems

:44:41. > :44:44.yesterday. Katy Brand's car, could not even overtake at all, something

:44:45. > :44:50.wrong with the accelerator. Reggie's car broke down. The car that David

:44:51. > :44:55.and I are driving, the immobiliser went, so you would be driving along,

:44:56. > :45:00.not very high speed, 40, 50, and the car would try to immobilise it self,

:45:01. > :45:03.hazard warnings kept on coming up! That is all being sorted out. Quite

:45:04. > :45:09.a long day, what a long drive yesterday. Long delay on the line,

:45:10. > :45:21.sounds like it is keeping you entertained, nevertheless!

:45:22. > :45:34.Today we are going to a place called Kisumu. We have musky tenets to

:45:35. > :45:37.deliver, 100 bicycles to deliver. Yesterday we thought we would just

:45:38. > :45:42.get the bicycles out and peddle them, we will need another 90 for

:45:43. > :45:47.people to help us! They are unlikely to break down! The first thing we

:45:48. > :45:56.delivered what this ultrasound thing to a health centre, I met a

:45:57. > :46:03.fantastic look called Patrick, who was a community health volunteer. He

:46:04. > :46:07.ran his own business but was completely devoted to his community,

:46:08. > :46:12.so he would go out into the community and give information and

:46:13. > :46:20.educate pregnant women as to what they needed to do, to keep them a

:46:21. > :46:25.beat and themselves healthy during pregnancy. He gives them information

:46:26. > :46:29.on nutrition and hygiene and all these things that were incredibly

:46:30. > :46:34.potent in this place, because they slum of a million people without

:46:35. > :46:38.sanitation. We brought a pregnant lady back into the health centre to

:46:39. > :46:44.have the first ever ultrasound. That is an amazing moment. It is great to

:46:45. > :46:48.be able to see where all of that money... Because the public are so

:46:49. > :46:55.generous, to see the difference the money makes. It is amazing, and the

:46:56. > :47:00.money really does make a difference, that is the point of this week, to

:47:01. > :47:03.show people in the UK who are donating every time Comic Relief is

:47:04. > :47:10.on, to show the difference is that their money is making. They are good

:47:11. > :47:16.news stories, but there is an awful lot left to do. This is really just

:47:17. > :47:22.a snapshot of what Comic Relief does and can do. If you can donate, do. I

:47:23. > :47:28.am not really a cross what effect it is having in the UK, I do not really

:47:29. > :47:33.do social media, I have only had one text, and that was from my dentist,

:47:34. > :47:38.saying, well done, enjoy the trip. But hopefully it is making a big

:47:39. > :47:41.difference in terms of donation. We are getting a lovely reaction here,

:47:42. > :47:46.we will mention how people can donate. David was quite clear, he

:47:47. > :47:51.said that Reggie feels he is the best driver, but now you have a few

:47:52. > :47:59.days, are you willing to put your hand up and say you are the safest

:48:00. > :48:04.man behind the wheel? Yesterday, I am driving with David, I have driven

:48:05. > :48:09.across Ethiopia with him before, but what happened to us yesterday, as

:48:10. > :48:14.well as mechanical failure, we got slightly lost, and he convinced me

:48:15. > :48:18.to take a left turn when I said that we had to go back to the previous

:48:19. > :48:24.junction. We were driving the wrong way up a dual carriageway, and were

:48:25. > :48:28.stopped by the police. We had to be very charming to the police, who

:48:29. > :48:34.asked for our licenses and what we are doing. He said, you are driving

:48:35. > :48:39.incredibly dangerously, and if you do that again, you will die. I did

:48:40. > :48:46.because quite that serious, but that was definitely David's fault. Take

:48:47. > :48:52.care on the rest of your trip. It is great to speak to you! Not what you

:48:53. > :48:54.want to be doing. He wondered how it is being received

:48:55. > :48:57.back here. If you'd like to show your support

:48:58. > :49:00.and make a donation to Comic Relief, you can donate ?5 by texting

:49:01. > :49:11.the word CONVOY to 70205, or to donate ?10,

:49:12. > :49:13.text CONVOY to 70210. Texts will cost your donation

:49:14. > :49:15.plus your standard network message charge, and 100% of your donation

:49:16. > :49:18.will go to Comic Relief. You must be 16 or over, and please

:49:19. > :49:21.ask the bill payer's permission. For full terms and conditions

:49:22. > :49:23.and more information, Later in the week we'll be

:49:24. > :49:29.speaking to Katy Brand. And Comic Relief is

:49:30. > :49:46.on Friday 24th March. I was trying to see which screen

:49:47. > :49:51.Carroll was going to be on. She is actually over their! I like to know

:49:52. > :49:58.where you are! A frosty scene behind you.

:49:59. > :50:04.One of our weather watchers sent this in. A bright start further

:50:05. > :50:12.south. What a cracker in Buckinghamshire. High pressure is

:50:13. > :50:16.keeping things fairly settled in the West, but this weather front, which

:50:17. > :50:21.has been moving east, will go west through the course of today. It will

:50:22. > :50:27.allow the cold continental and to seep across our shores. Not everyone

:50:28. > :50:30.sees it. It will be a cold day today than yesterday. The trend will

:50:31. > :50:36.continue through the rest of the week. Towards the West, patchy fog,

:50:37. > :50:43.Frost, still the risk of ice. A lot of sunshine. Move inland, more cloud

:50:44. > :50:48.and rain or showers. Snow in the Grampians, mostly at height, but

:50:49. > :50:54.later on the snow levels will fall. Across most of England, it will

:50:55. > :50:58.remain fairly cloudy. You might see the sunny break, but that will be

:50:59. > :51:02.the exception. There will be some showers, not all of us see those. On

:51:03. > :51:07.the east coast, some of them will be wintry. There was the south-west, a

:51:08. > :51:18.beautiful day, lots of sunshine, and not as cold. West Wales has a fair

:51:19. > :51:21.bit of sunshine. A beautiful start and a beautiful day generally across

:51:22. > :51:25.Northern Ireland, although temperatures are below freezing at

:51:26. > :51:29.the moment, they will pick up. This evening and overnight, with the

:51:30. > :51:36.clear skies the temperatures will tumble. A widespread frost, possibly

:51:37. > :51:41.the risk of ice. It is windy in the West, and a keen easterly across the

:51:42. > :51:44.East. That will continue to blow in some showers on the coastline. This

:51:45. > :51:50.is the forecast for the next few days. There will be rain and sleet

:51:51. > :51:58.on the coast, move into land and there will be sleet and snow, but

:51:59. > :52:03.not all of us will see it. Move out towards the West, not much change

:52:04. > :52:07.from today. Again, it will be fine, dry, cold and sunny, but the cold

:52:08. > :52:17.air permeates it further west tomorrow. We will hang on to the

:52:18. > :52:25.seven in the south-west. For Friday, more snow showers. Some of that

:52:26. > :52:28.falls across the Pennines, North East England, east of Aberdeenshire

:52:29. > :52:31.and the Grampians. With height we could have five centimetres, less at

:52:32. > :52:44.low levels. Typical winter weather. Go and have a cup of tea!

:52:45. > :52:47.That sounds like a fabulous idea! I would make it for you!

:52:48. > :52:50.Lots of you have been getting in touch with us this morning

:52:51. > :52:52.about the cost of overdrafts, which Ben was looking

:52:53. > :52:55.at earlier this morning, so he's back with some

:52:56. > :53:06.There has been a high-profile campaign against payday lenders, and

:53:07. > :53:13.how much they charge. Sky-high rates, and there was a clamp-down,

:53:14. > :53:17.so they have been capped. But the consumer group Which looked at how

:53:18. > :53:23.much it would cost to go into an authorised overdraft.

:53:24. > :53:26.The consumer group Which looked at how much it would cost to go

:53:27. > :53:29.over your overdraft by ?100 for 30 days and found it could cost

:53:30. > :53:31.between ?30 and ?180, depending on which current

:53:32. > :53:34.Payday loan firms by law can't charge more than ?24

:53:35. > :53:38.for the same type of loan, and Which says the same rule should

:53:39. > :53:41.We'll speak to them in just a minute, but first,

:53:42. > :53:44.do you feel you get enough warning to try to avoid the fees?

:53:45. > :53:46.Earlier I spoke to Pete Moorey from Which.

:53:47. > :53:49.You can be charged ?180 for going into your unarranged

:53:50. > :53:51.overdraft when it is capped at ?24 for payday loans.

:53:52. > :53:53.The financial regulator is doing a big review of high-cost credit

:53:54. > :53:56.and we need to get to the bottom of this issue.

:53:57. > :53:59.We think it is unfair that you are being charged such a high

:54:00. > :54:02.amount, and we want that to be tackled and these exorbitant fees

:54:03. > :54:12.The payday lenders were subject to the scrutiny, the regulators said,

:54:13. > :54:17.you have to put a cap on how much you charge, that with the banks and

:54:18. > :54:21.these overdrafts, that has got through, they have not tackled it

:54:22. > :54:26.yet, so there is a suggestion they may do that. People have been

:54:27. > :54:31.getting in touch. It is a real split, a lot of people say, don't

:54:32. > :54:35.use it if you don't like how much it costs. Janet says, I have not used

:54:36. > :54:40.my overdraft, the banks use them to make millions. David said he has

:54:41. > :54:47.only used it once but it works out cheaper than seeing these on things

:54:48. > :54:51.like direct debits. Joanna says, I do not have one, I have refused to

:54:52. > :54:56.have one on my account, I know what I am like. It comes down to the idea

:54:57. > :55:00.of transparency, how did you know when you will fall into the

:55:01. > :55:05.overdraft, how much will it cost? If the bank warns you in advance, maybe

:55:06. > :55:09.you can move money from elsewhere to drop it into the account. It is one

:55:10. > :55:14.of those things that will get people going. Other comments, yes, there

:55:15. > :55:20.should be a cap on the charges because in many cases the idea that

:55:21. > :55:24.you borrow ?100 but the cost of it could be ?180 in some cases, and

:55:25. > :55:30.that is astronomical. An anonymous one here, my dad has a lot of

:55:31. > :55:34.savings come money in some accounts, but he has Alzheimer's and he is not

:55:35. > :55:40.aware of the problem when he goes overdrawn, and he has been charged

:55:41. > :55:44.?228 in overdraft fees, so it is a bad banks telling people more. If

:55:45. > :55:50.you phone your bank, you can discuss the charges. This is at their

:55:51. > :55:53.discretion, they both say, we can see you have accidentally gone

:55:54. > :56:00.overdrawn, maybe it is a direct debit or a bill and you have gone a

:56:01. > :56:04.few pounds into your overdraft. Within a certain time period they

:56:05. > :56:07.will say, we will refund the charge, but this is more for people who are

:56:08. > :56:12.regularly using it and they find the cost is astronomical. The comparison

:56:13. > :56:15.with payday lenders is particularly relevant.

:56:16. > :56:18.It has to be one of the most stunning free shows on earth,

:56:19. > :56:23.and it's currently playing in Cumbria.

:56:24. > :56:25.Tens of thousands of starlings are performing a nightly

:56:26. > :56:28.Their synchronised flying creates an amazing aerial ballet.

:56:29. > :56:31.The Friends of the Lake District have organised a number of viewing

:56:32. > :56:33.events before the season ends later this month.

:56:34. > :56:36.Dave Guest has been finding out where you can catch a glimpse

:56:37. > :56:46.of these amazing birds before the season ends later this month.

:56:47. > :56:50.It's an aerial ballet with a cast of thousands.

:56:51. > :56:54.A mass of starlings flying in mesmerising harmony.

:56:55. > :56:57.The dictionary tells us this is called a murmuration.

:56:58. > :57:00.It also tells us the word has been in use for hundreds of years,

:57:01. > :57:05.Nobody really knows why it is called this.

:57:06. > :57:08.It's an interesting word because they do not really murmur.

:57:09. > :57:15.But why do they form these patterns and move together in harmony?

:57:16. > :57:19.There is some suggestion that they come together at dusk

:57:20. > :57:24.in a big group because it protects them from predators.

:57:25. > :57:27.Why they do this amazing aerial ballet before they settle down

:57:28. > :57:40.Why wouldn't anyone want to spend a night here?

:57:41. > :57:42.And so an audience gathered in Cumbria for one of the greatest

:57:43. > :57:46.This is one of several murmuration viewings posted by Friends

:57:47. > :57:53.I'm a reporter for my school magazine.

:57:54. > :58:00.I'm going to write it up on the computer.

:58:01. > :58:03.Are you going to take some pictures as well?

:58:04. > :58:07.Hopefully my mum has remembered her phone.

:58:08. > :58:10.I have to capture it on my camera over there,

:58:11. > :58:12.and if I miss anything, can I borrow your shots?

:58:13. > :58:18.As dusk gathers, so too do the stars of the show.

:58:19. > :58:43.The sky turns black and it's just amazing.

:58:44. > :58:46.I've seen them before in other places but nothing

:58:47. > :58:54.Someone estimated there were 60,000 or so starlings out there.

:58:55. > :59:02.Then, as darkness falls, so too do the starlings.

:59:03. > :59:16.It is curtain down on another perfect performance.

:59:17. > :59:23.STUDIO: I feel very relaxed after all of that.

:59:24. > :59:26.Joining us now to tell us more about this spectacle is Tom Clare

:59:27. > :59:33.from the Wild Fowl and Wetland Trust.

:59:34. > :59:40.So mesmerising to watch, you can find this all over the UK. Yes, you

:59:41. > :59:44.find them all over the country, like Aberystwyth peer, sometimes city

:59:45. > :59:52.centres, most of the time, they are out in oral locations, doing that

:59:53. > :59:56.fantastic display. Is it always at dusk time? Just before they are

:59:57. > :00:00.coming into roost, sometimes half an hour, sometimes an hour, and they

:00:01. > :00:13.are congregating before they go in for the evening roosts. --

:00:14. > :00:19.Aberystwyth Pier. Why do they behave like this, there is a few theories?

:00:20. > :00:24.During the day, they are out looking for food, in the evening, all coming

:00:25. > :00:27.in to join together before they go into route, what we think is

:00:28. > :00:30.happening they are forming these you to commemorates and avoiding

:00:31. > :00:36.predators, is having so many birds in one place, it stuns the birds,

:00:37. > :00:42.the birds of prey going for them, and when they go into roost, so

:00:43. > :00:51.close together, staying nice and warm staying together and keeping

:00:52. > :00:54.warm during winter. -- murmurations. This is the best time of year to

:00:55. > :00:55.come and see them come you get the big numbers coming into this time of

:00:56. > :01:09.year. Beautiful to see so many birds together but Stalin

:01:10. > :01:13.numbers have been falling dramatically over the last few

:01:14. > :01:17.years? Since about 1970 they have dropped by 60%, so they have really

:01:18. > :01:24.dropped down in numbers, although we get these huge murmurations hundreds

:01:25. > :01:30.of thousands, close to a million, the numbers are on the decrease and

:01:31. > :01:33.they have been for some time. We were speaking with you earlier, we

:01:34. > :01:36.were asking you about how they know whether to go left, right, loads of

:01:37. > :01:40.people have been coming up with their own particular theories, you

:01:41. > :01:45.say it is something that still baffles those who look into it, why

:01:46. > :01:49.they are so synchronised and beautiful, and every single bird

:01:50. > :01:53.seems to know which way to go at a given time? Still one of those

:01:54. > :01:58.wonders of the natural world, still trying to figure out what is

:01:59. > :02:02.happening, and why they are doing it and how they can move so quickly

:02:03. > :02:12.with each other. It is like a wave, one bird moves, it is a ripple

:02:13. > :02:17.effect, the entire murmuration. Is there anything we can do to help

:02:18. > :02:21.them and arrest the decline? It is a problem nationwide, we are not 100%

:02:22. > :02:25.sure why they are decreasing, throughout the breeding season, they

:02:26. > :02:29.are feeding invertebrates on the ground. Perhaps the food resources

:02:30. > :02:34.for that is decreasing, feeding birds in the garden, anything you

:02:35. > :02:39.can do to encourage the starlings into your garden, helping them at

:02:40. > :02:44.home. More hedgerows, where they can breed nice and safely, always a good

:02:45. > :02:52.way to work with the birds. I have a very friendly robin. If we put bread

:02:53. > :02:54.out, he comes to get the bread. It is always fantastic getting that

:02:55. > :02:58.close to nature, especially in your garden. You are like Dr Doolittle!

:02:59. > :03:03.It has been wonderful. And we would love to see some

:03:04. > :03:06.of your pictures of the wonders Here's a couple that some

:03:07. > :03:10.of you have already sent in to us. This one sent in by Anita

:03:11. > :03:12.shows Canadian geese Robert sent in a picture

:03:13. > :03:16.of a Galloway cow and calf Steve sent in this one of a little

:03:17. > :03:20.egret at a local nature reserve. And this starling murmuration

:03:21. > :03:22.above Brighton Pier You can email us your pictures

:03:23. > :03:36.at bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk What was that green line on that

:03:37. > :03:43.one? I think we may have added that one! Sorry for ruining the picture,

:03:44. > :03:49.for some reason we have put a big green line through it.

:03:50. > :03:55.We'll be getting a look behind the scenes at

:03:56. > :03:56.Christian Dior when filmmaker Michael Waldman joins us.

:03:57. > :03:59.But first, a last, brief look at the headlines

:04:00. > :05:41.where you are this morning. feeling increasingly cold. That is

:05:42. > :06:05.it from me for now, thanks for watching, have a lovely morning.

:06:06. > :06:08.STUDIO: Christian Dior died just ten years after debuting his "new look"

:06:09. > :06:10.haute couture in 1947, but today it remains

:06:11. > :06:12.one of the world's most well-known fashion labels.

:06:13. > :06:14.To celebrate its 70th birthday, film maker,

:06:15. > :06:16.Michael Waldman, spent six months behind-the-scenes of

:06:17. > :06:17.the billion-dollar brand, interviewing everyone

:06:18. > :06:19.from the seamstresses to parfumiers and the company's first ever

:06:20. > :06:23.We'll speak to Michael in a minute but first let's take a look.

:06:24. > :06:39.VOICEOVER: Braid list Ruth has been chosen to lead the entire parade. --

:06:40. > :06:50.braidless. I don't want to mess it up, it is brave in its

:06:51. > :07:16.nonconformity. Inside those? A secret, my secret!

:07:17. > :07:26.The drama! Michael Waldman Joining us now. So well-known, and he died

:07:27. > :07:30.only ten years after he created this brand, white and extraordinarily is

:07:31. > :07:34.even. Absolutely, spending six months behind-the-scenes of this now

:07:35. > :07:36.billion-dollar company was a fascinating

:07:37. > :07:42.experience, they very cleverly exploited the legacy of Christian

:07:43. > :07:48.Dior, the man whose name is above the title, they know it is a very

:07:49. > :07:53.telling brand, but by definition it is fashion, they must renew but keep

:07:54. > :07:57.a foot in the past, it is a nice balancing act. They also exploit the

:07:58. > :08:01.name, as Christian Dior did himself, very savvy businessmen, to make

:08:02. > :08:06.Perkins and cosmetics and is the series, it is a big business. You

:08:07. > :08:10.made a film about Christian Louboutin, a few years ago, you know

:08:11. > :08:17.the industry, so it was an eye-opener into how brutal it can be

:08:18. > :08:22.on occasion, is it cut-throat? I'm not a fashionista, it is not my

:08:23. > :08:28.field, but it has been fascinating, dipping toes into it, two different

:08:29. > :08:33.French companies, it is all that you imagine and more, in terms of the

:08:34. > :08:37.theatricality of it, what there is is costumed, by definition, and be,

:08:47. > :08:50.decisions and how, that is dramatic. And they wanted to keep it... You

:08:51. > :08:55.must need lots of negotiations, there's a lot of it is secret, what

:08:56. > :09:00.is going on, how they make things. Of course, getting into a place like

:09:01. > :09:05.this takes a lot of doing, and when you are there, you have to keep

:09:06. > :09:08.pushing and be opportunistic. That is the nature of making documentary

:09:09. > :09:13.films of an observational sort. A funny moment, I mentioned, the

:09:14. > :09:20.Perkins and the cosmetics, there is a guy who is called the nose, very

:09:21. > :09:27.important job, and on his nation nasal sensitivity depends the

:09:39. > :09:54.conscious of not revealing the secrets. Profits of the perfume. --

:09:55. > :10:04.back it is like the secret herbs and spices. You met the man with the

:10:05. > :10:15.nose for the Percy and, this is in a dressmaking shop in Paris. -- with

:10:16. > :10:25.the nose for the perfume. Everybody is different. Some with small

:10:32. > :10:41.If you look at the woman, they are all different. -- big waists. They

:10:42. > :10:46.are rich. Yes, it is silly to say anything else. It is not accessible

:11:03. > :11:06.afford any of the items except for the make up. And the make up is not

:11:07. > :11:14.cheap either, but it was fascinating watching them in the very workshops,

:11:47. > :11:51.in at a ridiculous price. Yes, don't even go there! You follow the new

:11:52. > :11:55.creative director, this post has been held by John Galliano, Eve St

:11:56. > :12:05.Laurent, and so this is a real pressure job. The rival for the

:12:06. > :12:11.first. An Italian woman, wonderful and funny, and the pressure on her

:12:16. > :12:20.brand, she has to create several collections a year. -- Yves Saint

:12:21. > :12:24.Laurent. The legacy that she is basing it on, she has to have a

:12:25. > :12:28.sense of Christian Dior in the past, plus the previous great designers,

:12:29. > :12:33.what happens is that we see her in the lead up to the first collection

:12:34. > :12:37.and she is remarkably relaxed, jocular, funny, filming things are

:12:38. > :12:45.normally we would not be allowed to, and she went with it. Impressive

:13:28. > :13:38.joining us. Inside Dior Today, we're settling an age-old

:13:39. > :13:41.argument as well as revealing why the latest celebrity-backed food fad
