:01:18. > :01:19.to the Football Association, after a vote of no confidence,

:01:20. > :01:28.in English football's governing And we have the weather. Good

:01:29. > :01:33.morning. Good morning. A chilly last commute of the week. Sleet and snow

:01:34. > :01:34.this morning. Wintry flows to come through this weekend in the wind

:01:35. > :01:41.will get even stronger. And I'll have all the weather

:02:03. > :02:09.NHS England figures this winter show the worst performance since records

:02:10. > :02:13.began more than a decade ago. Jeremy Hunt paid tribute to the work of

:02:14. > :02:17.staff, but said the problems of high patient demand were not unique to

:02:18. > :02:20.the NHS, and all leading hills systems were grappling with the same

:02:21. > :02:24.challenge. He said there was no silver bullet. It is wrong to

:02:25. > :02:30.suggest to people that these profound challenges such as we face

:02:31. > :02:34.with an ageing population are ones where there is a silver bullet where

:02:35. > :02:39.you can solve the problem overnight. We have a good plan and it has the

:02:40. > :02:45.support of the NHS and will take time to deliver. We showed coverage

:02:46. > :02:49.this week of patients experiencing lengthy waits and a woman who had to

:02:50. > :02:53.spend six months in a hospital because no care home space was

:02:54. > :02:57.available. He said there were no excuses and this was unacceptable.

:02:58. > :03:04.It was incredibly frustrating for me, doing this job, because I want

:03:05. > :03:08.NHS care to be the safest and best in the world. And that kind of care

:03:09. > :03:13.is completely unacceptable. And no one would want it for members of

:03:14. > :03:18.their own family. Problems over the sustainability of social care, he

:03:19. > :03:23.said, were now being addressed by the government. But Sir Robert

:03:24. > :03:27.Francis said it was inevitable that the same mistakes will be made again

:03:28. > :03:30.if the current pressure on NHS resources continued. Hugh Pym, BBC

:03:31. > :03:32.News. A Federal appeals court has refused

:03:33. > :03:35.to reinstate Donald Trump's ban on travellers from seven

:03:36. > :03:37.mainly Muslim countries. The controversial immigration reform

:03:38. > :03:39.was suspended last week. The US President responded

:03:40. > :03:42.to the ruling saying there will be The case is now likely to go

:03:43. > :03:56.to The Supreme Court. Donald Trump's sudden ban on

:03:57. > :04:02.visitors from seven mainly Muslim nations caused chaos at airports and

:04:03. > :04:08.spiked protesting around the US. And then last week, a district judge in

:04:09. > :04:14.Seattle granted a stay, and now a San Francisco -based appeals court

:04:15. > :04:18.has kept that going. And no one from those seven nations has carried out

:04:19. > :04:24.an attack on the US. The decision infuriated Donald Trump. He wrote

:04:25. > :04:34.this. That prompted the leader of one of the States leading the

:04:35. > :04:38.challenge to reply this. And appealed to the highest court in the

:04:39. > :04:43.land, the US Supreme Court, now seems likely. -- an appeal. But they

:04:44. > :04:49.could put the decision in the hands of a court that is currently evenly

:04:50. > :04:55.decided, and a Thai would leave it in place. Donald Trump maintains his

:04:56. > :04:59.ban is necessary in order to protect the US from terrorism, but it may

:05:00. > :05:04.yet be proven unconstitutional. And until he has his day in court,

:05:05. > :05:09.refugees from around the world and citizens from those seven Muslim

:05:10. > :05:10.nations can continue to come into this country. David Willis, BBC

:05:45. > :05:47.questioned said they would be forced to put up taxes and increase

:06:01. > :06:05.confusion that a fifth of passengers who use them buy the wrong ticket,

:06:06. > :06:09.according to the rail regulator. While 7% of travellers

:06:10. > :06:11.underpay and could be fined, The Office of Rail and Road wants

:06:17. > :06:27.which are too expensive Buying a train ticket can be

:06:28. > :06:31.difficult at the best of times. This report says that buying one from a

:06:32. > :06:36.machine without any human help can be even more confusing. The

:06:37. > :06:39.independent regulator, the Office of Rail and Road, carried out a study

:06:40. > :06:43.using mystery shoppers. It found that many people bought the wrong

:06:44. > :06:48.tickets. 13% paid more for their tickets than they needed to. 6% paid

:06:49. > :06:54.less than they should have done, opening themselves to the risk of

:06:55. > :06:58.being fined. And 65% could not find any information about which type of

:06:59. > :07:02.ticket they should be buying. One person found that buying a ticket

:07:03. > :07:06.with a real card was actually more expensive than buying one without.

:07:33. > :07:37.The rail operator said it was difficult to offer simple options

:08:08. > :08:10.a "scoundrel" and "rotten to the core" because of

:09:59. > :10:06.that want to go and meet Thanos now. It is very cute. Hello, Mike. It is

:10:07. > :10:11.like a rabbit, isn't it? Well... Actually it's like an antelope. Why

:10:12. > :10:15.should people cared that a group of MPs have given a vote of no

:10:16. > :10:19.confidence into the FA? If it does not modernise it could lose

:10:20. > :10:26.30-40,000,000 pounds of funding. And they want the FA to do more about

:12:11. > :12:15.get back into the world top groups. We will have a look at the papers in

:12:16. > :12:22.just a minute so stay there. First, the weather. Good morning. Good

:12:23. > :12:25.morning. Another chilly day out there. Temperature-wise, this

:12:26. > :12:31.morning, not as low as you would imagine. It feels cold thanks to a

:12:32. > :12:35.strengthening wind. Wind and ice this morning, especially in Scotland

:12:36. > :12:42.and north-east England. Further wintry showers expected, especially

:12:43. > :12:47.in the east. West will be best. The details. Further sleet and snow

:12:48. > :12:53.flurries this morning. Further south and into East Anglia, rain, drizzle,

:12:54. > :12:59.and sleet. Damp underfoot. With temperatures quite low, ice around.

:13:00. > :13:02.Further west, a frosty start. We will see a lot of sunshine across

:13:03. > :13:05.the north and west of Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland as well.

:13:06. > :13:10.West England not faring too badly. Snow showers keep coming in with

:13:11. > :13:15.sleet in the north-east of England and further patchy rain and drizzle

:13:16. > :13:20.and sleet in East Anglia and the south-east. A grey day. As the wind

:13:21. > :13:24.picks up, chilly. Parts of the south-east may see some brightness

:13:25. > :13:28.at times a day but we have to head to the west of the country to see

:13:29. > :13:31.the best of the sunny weather. One or two showers in the south with

:13:32. > :13:35.Devon and Cornwall. Wales, largely dry. The best of the sunshine in

:13:36. > :13:41.Cardigan Bay. Northern Ireland, not faring too badly as far as sunshine

:13:42. > :13:45.is concerned. Cloudy at times. The weather through the country is not

:13:46. > :13:51.especially warm. Temperatures only around 1- five degrees at best for

:13:52. > :13:54.the most part. Tonight, sleet and snow flurries continue and become

:13:55. > :13:58.more abundant across eastern areas into the second half of the night as

:13:59. > :14:02.the wind picks up. Western areas always clearest. Widespread frost.

:14:03. > :14:06.Temperatures in north-west Scotland could drop to -10. Way you have

:14:07. > :14:11.wintry showers, ice into Saturday morning. More showers around

:14:12. > :14:15.generally and they will push further west. Sleet and snow to begin with.

:14:16. > :14:18.Snow continuing in the hills of northern England and south-east

:14:19. > :14:26.Scotland through the day. Elsewhere, snow showers turned back to rain and

:14:27. > :14:30.sleet. It will not feel warm. Temperatures will again be not far

:14:31. > :14:36.off today's values. Add on the wind and it will feel cold. Sunday,

:14:37. > :14:40.Wales, showers. Slightly fewer in number compared to Saturday. A

:14:41. > :14:45.slightly dry day. The best in the brightness as Rudy weekend is

:14:46. > :14:49.Scotland and Northern Ireland. But the wind will be strong in England

:14:50. > :14:54.and Wales especially. Touching gale force in one or two places. That

:14:55. > :14:59.will feel raw and sub-zero for some of you. Just before I go, this

:15:00. > :15:10.evening there is a lunar eclipse. It is a full moon. It is in fact, quite

:15:11. > :15:21.aptly, a snow moon. It is going to appear full, but quite dark with a

:15:22. > :15:25.shadow from the Earth at half ten tonight. Every full moon is given a

:15:26. > :15:28.slightly different name through the year. Because there is dominant snow

:15:29. > :15:33.this time of year in February it is a snow moon. Thank you.

:15:34. > :15:35.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:15:36. > :15:40.The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt tells that BBC that waiting times

:15:41. > :15:46.in some English hospitals is completely unacceptable.

:15:47. > :15:50.President Trump has suffered a setback to his immigration policy,

:15:51. > :15:59.after a Federal Appeal Court refused to reinstate his travel ban.

:16:00. > :16:10.A quick look at some of the front pages. The front page of the Sun.

:16:11. > :16:17.News of her death announced this week. The Sun talking about some of

:16:18. > :16:22.her friends. They were saying every day they want drugs more. Talking

:16:23. > :16:26.about the dark place she was in. A lot of the newspapers are talking

:16:27. > :16:31.about the story we have been covering this week, about NHS

:16:32. > :16:37.spending. Despite our ageing population, NHS funding is growing

:16:38. > :16:41.at the lowest rates since records began in 1955. And there's a picture

:16:42. > :16:45.from that time. We will spend a bit of time this

:16:46. > :16:52.morning looking at some of the areas of best practice, if you like that

:16:53. > :16:55.phrase, where they are trying to do things in a different way to make

:16:56. > :16:59.things work little better. The Telegraph. Council tax rises for

:17:00. > :17:03.millions. The possibility of households in many parts of the

:17:04. > :17:10.country facing council tax rises of up to 5%, as some local authorities

:17:11. > :17:16.try to boost funding. What have you got for us, Mike?

:17:17. > :17:19.People were asking why I was going on about the roof at the Millennium

:17:20. > :17:24.Stadium, whether it makes any difference if it is closed on. The

:17:25. > :17:31.answer is it does! -- closed or not. There are some facts in the Times.

:17:32. > :17:36.There have been ten matches since it was built and the times when the

:17:37. > :17:45.roof has been closed whales have won four out of five of those matches

:17:46. > :17:50.and when it was open England have won four out of five -- Wales. It is

:17:51. > :17:53.more than superstition. The intensity, the noise, helps the

:17:54. > :18:00.Welsh and puts off the English little bit. So on this occasion the

:18:01. > :18:03.roof will be open. Whenever you do the papers I notice

:18:04. > :18:08.there are scribbles everywhere. That's because they don't wear my

:18:09. > :18:12.glasses normally, so when I look at you it is fine. When it comes to

:18:13. > :18:16.reading small text I write a little note to make it bigger, or I could

:18:17. > :18:23.put my glasses on... Have you picked another one?

:18:24. > :18:28.This is heartwarming. The former football fan suffering from a rare

:18:29. > :18:34.form of cancer. He has captured the nation. Coming out in front of the

:18:35. > :18:39.teams of Sunderland and Everton. Jermain Defoe gave him a couple.

:18:40. > :18:45.That picture was shared by his mother. Very moving, those stories.

:18:46. > :18:52.The players go the extra miles. William. A change of tone. I am

:18:53. > :18:58.always tickled by these things. When someone finds a giant thing... This

:18:59. > :19:02.is rammed flakes and this year, can you get a close-up? This is the

:19:03. > :19:06.actual side... Compared to my hand?

:19:07. > :19:12.This is the actual size of an individual brand flake. This young

:19:13. > :19:17.chap, Oscar, founded in his brand. You would need a lot of milk to go

:19:18. > :19:25.without! -- with that!

:19:26. > :19:29.It looks like Brazil. 14 centimetres!

:19:30. > :19:37.I wonder if he could keep that and try and sell it. This was the week,

:19:38. > :19:45.I heard on Radio 5 Live, a man sold a Cheeto that was the exact replica

:19:46. > :19:52.of the gorilla Harambe. It was a tiny thing.

:19:53. > :19:56.Imagine if you had a life-size gorilla chip!

:19:57. > :20:03.Not even a baby gorilla! Very odd.

:20:04. > :20:07.?100,000! Check your crisps and cereal this morning. You never know!

:20:08. > :20:16.It looks like your hair. A little sculpted brown flakes somewhere...

:20:17. > :20:23.Now we've gone off entirely. Thank you, see you later. More

:20:24. > :20:24.weather later. And a full sports bulletin.

:20:25. > :20:28.Today we're looking at ways in which the NHS can deliver better

:20:29. > :20:29.care, despite the pressure it's under.

:20:30. > :20:38.getting them the help they need quickly is vital.

:20:39. > :20:41.Well, a hospital in Fife has found that technology might

:20:42. > :20:45.Nurses at Victoria Hospital were given touch screen tablets

:20:46. > :20:48.to help them easily identify the patients at highest risk.

:20:49. > :20:56.Good morning and welcome. At the Victoria Hospital every day begins

:20:57. > :21:01.like this. Each department coming together to share information.

:21:02. > :21:07.Cardiac arrest in the last 24 hours? The purpose of the meeting summed up

:21:08. > :21:12.in three words. Safe to start. Safe to start. Fulfilling that mantra

:21:13. > :21:16.requires a combination of traditional and modern methods. Fife

:21:17. > :21:21.are the only health board in Scotland using this technology.

:21:22. > :21:26.Patient's vitals are entered into the tablet, generating a school. The

:21:27. > :21:32.information is instantly available drop the hospital. It is very easy

:21:33. > :21:36.for people to see patterns and have an early warning score. At a glance

:21:37. > :21:42.you can see where the sickest patients are, so we can ensure that

:21:43. > :21:46.patients go to the right areas. Introduced in one ward as part of a

:21:47. > :21:50.pilot project, the technology is now used throughout the hospital. One

:21:51. > :21:55.measure of success as it has helped reduce the number of cardiac arrest.

:21:56. > :21:58.Good morning! Pleased with the results, the hospital are now

:21:59. > :22:04.considering an upgrade. Wearable tech that constantly updates the

:22:05. > :22:10.patient's readings. The information from the device is coming through to

:24:30. > :24:32.travelled thousands of miles into space for satellite and into your

:24:55. > :24:57.entirely in satellites, in monitoring the earth and looking at

:25:10. > :25:13.and it will take us home from anywhere in the world, that's due to

:25:14. > :25:18.a GPS network of satellites above us telling us where we are and where we

:25:19. > :25:21.need to be. The fact that we can look at the weather forecast is due

:25:49. > :25:55.is raising the profile. One thing that seems to be missing from the UK

:26:01. > :26:04.Tim Peake spent a lot of his time in the international space centre. We

:35:02. > :35:08.to the new Super League season, but St Helens fans won't care,

:35:09. > :35:12.as they beat their old rivals Leeds. The game was won by a moment

:35:42. > :35:53.tricks up their sleeve. We are prepared to win. We are

:35:54. > :36:01.prepared for any shenanigans that may go on. And we are looking

:36:02. > :36:05.forward to it. It is a great opportunity to play in one of the

:36:06. > :36:09.great stadiums in the world. What are the shenanigans that you are

:36:10. > :36:19.preparing for? I don't know, but they are coming out of the walls,

:36:20. > :36:20.aren't they? They have daffodils, roses, everything. Who knows? Who

:36:21. > :36:20.knows? Wales are very proud

:36:21. > :36:23.of the ceremonial goat that leads them out, and are just

:39:49. > :39:54.extraordinary. There is the proof. He beat his own record. Incredible.

:39:55. > :40:10.He did not even have to pedal. Quite the outset. You doubted my story

:40:11. > :40:25.about Cheetoh's being crisps. But it is a maize-based snack. This man

:40:26. > :40:29.found one that resembled Harambe the gorilla. Who has since passed. Well,

:40:30. > :40:34.I have proof. It was sold on auction for $100,000. What would you do with

:40:35. > :40:43.that? Put it in a case on your wall? You could make it into a brooch.

:40:44. > :40:46.That is a good idea. People may be tempted to nibble it when they greet

:40:47. > :40:50.you. That does look like the gorilla. There is no doubt. I think

:40:51. > :40:57.that would perish over time. You might need a case or a vacuum sealed

:40:58. > :41:02.pack. There we go. You were right. There is a market out there. I

:41:03. > :41:04.accept it. See you later on. When it comes to exams,

:41:05. > :41:06.children with special educational needs such as dyslexia can be given

:41:07. > :41:10.extra time to finish their papers. But research by the Today programme

:41:11. > :41:13.has found as many as one in five students from independent schools

:41:14. > :41:15.were given extensions to complete their GCSE

:41:16. > :41:18.and A-Level exams last year. That's almost double the number

:41:19. > :41:20.of pupils from state schools Catherine Wright from the charity

:41:21. > :41:37.Dyslexia Action is here with us now. A very good morning to you. Good

:41:38. > :41:41.morning. That is a big difference between state and private schools.

:41:42. > :41:46.Can you give us any insight into what is going on? Umm, when it comes

:41:47. > :41:52.down to it, there is... Dyslexia Action, we support both independent

:41:53. > :41:57.and state schools. I think what is happening is that, in an independent

:41:58. > :42:03.school, you have smaller class sizes, there is more awareness

:42:04. > :42:09.within that. And probably more funds within that sector to actually

:42:10. > :42:14.support learners. Whereas within state schools they are still very

:42:15. > :42:19.aware, but there are probably less funds, and of course, larger class

:42:20. > :42:22.sizes. So you will find there are some learners who are falling

:42:23. > :42:27.through the net probably. So, they are the same methods used to

:42:28. > :42:35.diagnose it but it is just a case of having more facilities to detect it

:42:36. > :42:39.in private schools. Recognition is probably higher and parents are

:42:40. > :42:45.probably a little bit more aware within that sector as well. And yes,

:42:46. > :42:55.you don't actually have to diagnose it. There is very certain criteria.

:42:56. > :42:59.And it has to be done by a Level seven specialist. That is where we

:43:00. > :43:07.come in. That feels really unfair. That difference between private and

:43:08. > :43:11.state. Umm, I do not know whether it is unfair. Probably the private

:43:12. > :43:16.sector actually have the right statistics. 20% is about correct.

:43:17. > :43:20.Because when you start to think about one in ten dyslexic people,

:43:21. > :43:29.and then dyspraxia and autism and other aspects, 20%, you are pretty

:43:30. > :43:34.much spot on. So, yes, state schools, they probably just need to

:43:35. > :43:38.increase their awareness. Yes. It is unfair really to blame individual

:43:39. > :43:42.teachers. They have a very heavy workload in the state system and

:43:43. > :43:46.bigger classes. Put on the face of it, it doesn't sound like they have

:43:47. > :43:51.to do any more work. They must know the class in front of them and what

:43:52. > :43:55.speeds people are learning out and maybe those indicators... It doesn't

:43:56. > :43:59.seem like an awful lot to ask for them to just say, do you know what,

:44:00. > :44:04.let us just check those one or two pupils who may be in the class. Is a

:44:05. > :44:12.much more to expect from them to be able to do that? I don't think that

:44:13. > :44:16.is absolutely fine. And I think a lot of teachers will recognise that.

:44:17. > :44:32.The problem is recently over the last two years the necessities to

:44:33. > :44:36.granted have increased. Is to be Level Five and now it is Level

:44:37. > :44:41.Seven. So they may have to bring in people. -- it used to be. Or they

:44:42. > :44:47.may need to train people up to do it. That takes at least a year. But

:44:48. > :44:50.you have many young people slipping through the net. They should be

:44:51. > :44:55.getting more time. They should be getting more time. And it is so

:44:56. > :44:59.valuable, that time. They need to be taught how to use the time

:45:00. > :45:03.effectively. And they need other arrangements. It makes such a big

:45:04. > :45:08.difference to dyslexic people and people with other specific learning

:45:09. > :45:15.difficulties. Catherine at thank you very much. From Dyslexia Action.

:45:16. > :45:18.Let's find out what's happening with the weather.

:45:19. > :45:23.It was an especially cold night last night. Temperatures as low as minus

:45:24. > :45:28.two degrees in a couple of spots, but there is a chilly the air and it

:45:29. > :45:33.will be the -- morning where some of you wake up to some frost and maybe

:45:34. > :45:36.snow, the eastern Scotland and the north-east England. Wintry showers

:45:37. > :45:42.in eastern areas throughout the day, and a strengthening wind, which will

:45:43. > :45:45.add to the chill. West is best for the brightness throughout the day. A

:45:46. > :45:49.couple of showers in Northern Ireland, but most of the showers are

:45:50. > :45:54.in the east of the country. Rain and drizzle across the south-east and

:45:55. > :45:59.east Anglia. Further north, sleet. To the north and west of Scotland is

:46:00. > :46:03.a bit of frost, hear a lovely day in store. Wind is not desperately

:46:04. > :46:10.strong and there should be plenty of sunshine. A couple of centimetres of

:46:17. > :46:19.be fine, with sunshine. Further south, especially grey and misty. We

:46:20. > :46:23.will have further rain and drizzle coming to us throughout the day. The

:46:24. > :46:31.breeze picking up through the country. Limited to about 1-6

:46:32. > :46:34.Celsius by and large. Most of south-west England and much of

:46:35. > :46:40.Western England and Wales and Northern Ireland will be dry and

:46:41. > :46:44.there will be a little bit of sunshine at times. Where we have the

:46:45. > :46:48.clearest skies you can see the lunar eclipse tonight. The full moon in

:46:49. > :46:51.the west of the country for some of you. The clearest conditions in the

:46:52. > :46:59.north and west of Scotland. Further west, lots of cloud. Some wintry.

:47:00. > :47:03.That will lead to a frost, and ice risk, with temperatures close to

:47:04. > :47:07.freezing in most parts of the UK. If you are out and about on Saturday

:47:08. > :47:10.make sure you lay your app to cause the wind will be cold. Showers much

:47:11. > :47:15.more frequent across the country. Initially sleet and snow. A good

:47:16. > :47:18.covering over the hills of northern England and eastern Scotland.

:47:19. > :47:22.Turning back to rain and sleet through the day. It is the north and

:47:23. > :47:26.west where we continue to see the best of the sunshine. Temperatures

:47:27. > :47:33.like today, struggling in single figures. Even colder given the

:47:34. > :47:36.strength of the wind. It picks up in the Sunday, especially for England

:47:37. > :47:40.and Wales. Touching gale force in places. Great conditions for England

:47:41. > :47:43.and Wales. Things will be much brighter for Scotland and Northern

:47:44. > :47:48.Ireland, where we have the lightest winds. With the strength of wind it

:47:49. > :47:53.will feel much colder than the temperatures suggest. Some will feel

:47:54. > :48:00.like it is subzero all day. Wrap up well! How cold argue at the moment?

:48:01. > :48:06.Actually not too bad. I look cold, but I am all right.

:48:07. > :48:08.You need a scarf for your neck! I am all right, I am sheltering in

:48:09. > :48:16.between. Glad to hear it! See you later.

:48:17. > :48:22.Over the next few years the government says it will fund the

:48:23. > :48:31.first spaceport in the UK. Britain is a rising star in the

:48:32. > :48:34.commercial space race. Sean is at the national space centre in

:48:35. > :48:41.Leicester. What are we looking at? You've got to leave some puns for

:48:42. > :48:46.me. These are couple of rockets, which haven't been used before, as

:48:47. > :48:51.you might guess. The one on the right is British built. The one gap

:48:52. > :48:54.in the UK space in this we is the fact that we don't have anywhere.

:48:55. > :49:01.The takeoff and that's what we've heard a bit about this week.

:49:02. > :49:08.Overall, ?14 billion is put into the UK. Manufacturing stuff like that

:49:09. > :49:15.rockets, 40,000 jobs. What more can be done. Martin is from the

:49:16. > :49:18.University of Leicester. You have a focus on the space industry. How

:49:19. > :49:23.crucial is it to skills and development in the UK. It's a

:49:24. > :49:27.high-tech industry, so the jobs are really important for us, because we

:49:28. > :49:31.need to grow our skills. At a time when we are looking for real

:49:32. > :49:35.economic impact, the space industry is a fantastic way to get that. In

:49:36. > :49:38.terms of economic impact, the one thing you notice when you look at

:49:39. > :49:42.the space industry is it is really productive, more productive than a

:49:43. > :49:46.lot of the other parts of the UK economy. Why is that? Partly because

:49:47. > :49:50.of the skills involved, also the potential for growth is enormous.

:49:51. > :49:55.You've been talking about building rockets and that's really important,

:49:56. > :49:59.but actually there's also a lot of downstream growth, the use of

:50:00. > :50:02.products from developing space hardware and also taking data from

:50:03. > :50:08.the satellites we have in orbit. Looking down at the Earth,

:50:09. > :50:12.developing products from that date. Andy, you run a business in space

:50:13. > :50:16.technology. If average heard from the government and industry this

:50:17. > :50:21.week, plans to get a spaceport in the UK, and if we could take off

:50:22. > :50:26.from here, how would that affect your business? I think it is the key

:50:27. > :50:31.that would unlock the door to space, because it enables lower cost access

:50:32. > :50:35.to space, which means we can launch lower cost satellites, which creates

:50:36. > :50:41.more data and ultimately that date will allow the big growth in the

:50:42. > :50:46.UK's space industry. There's a reason we haven't launched anything

:50:47. > :50:50.really huge from the UK in the past. You often see it in America, but not

:50:51. > :50:59.here. Why is that? There are logistic goblins, you -- problems,

:51:00. > :51:07.you can't launch from the UK easily. It is difficult unless you launch

:51:08. > :51:14.from the east. So how will would a spaceport look in the UK? Where

:51:15. > :51:17.would it be? It would need to be somewhere on the coast and certainly

:51:18. > :51:22.you can get the image of the big takeoff. We believe we will have to

:51:23. > :51:28.launch over the poles. There are also concepts of launching from an

:51:29. > :51:31.aeroplane. So an aeroplane would fly out over the Atlantic Ocean and then

:51:32. > :51:38.drop the rocket which will then fly off into space from underneath the

:51:39. > :51:42.aeroplane. Some areas are looking at the horizontal takeoff market. I

:51:43. > :51:48.think that's probably a good area for reducing the cost of access to

:51:49. > :51:52.space. So it is conceivable that within 5- ten years we could have

:51:53. > :51:55.some kind of launch from Scotland? That big television spectacular that

:51:56. > :52:03.we see in other countries? I don't see why not. It's not just the money

:52:04. > :52:06.that the UK space industry... Agency has announced today, it is also the

:52:07. > :52:12.change in the environment, so it enables that access to happen. Why

:52:13. > :52:14.not? There you go. We will be talking more throughout the morning

:52:15. > :52:24.about the potential for tourists travel into space as well. It might

:52:25. > :52:25.even get me into a space suit at some point!

:52:26. > :52:28.Thanks for a much. Seeing dolphins in the wild

:52:29. > :52:31.is an experience many people And last year record

:52:32. > :52:35.numbers were spotted off The waters around the Hebrides

:52:36. > :52:41.are home to nearly 70% of Europe's dolphin,

:52:42. > :52:44.whale and porpoise species, but despite this we still

:52:45. > :52:46.know remarkably little about their habitats

:52:47. > :53:02.or the threats facing them. Good morning. First of all it sounds

:53:03. > :53:06.like your job is amazing, to be able to see and experience all of this.

:53:07. > :53:10.Tell us a bit about what you might see at the moment in terms of

:53:11. > :53:15.dolphins? At the moment if you went out on the water or look for land

:53:16. > :53:18.you might see some porpoises. We see them year round off the coast of

:53:19. > :53:23.Scotland. Also occasionally bottlenose dolphins and in the

:53:24. > :53:36.summer we have migrated this, so Ningi -- whales and the odd

:53:37. > :53:40.humpback. A lot of people don't realise we have these animals off

:53:41. > :53:45.the UK. What can we see here at the moment? This is our research vessel

:53:46. > :53:50.and these are common dolphins. They are spectacular species. They have

:53:51. > :53:53.this yellow strip down the side, they are very active at the surface,

:53:54. > :53:57.they love to barrel riding, so that's what they're doing now. They

:53:58. > :54:03.ride on the pressure wave. They really enjoyed being there and

:54:04. > :54:08.swimming alongside the boat. I know you've been monitoring the numbers

:54:09. > :54:13.as best you can. What are the figures showing? What's changing?

:54:14. > :54:17.For common dolphins, once we've just seen, we're singing a general

:54:18. > :54:26.increasing trend of larger groups and more sightings. Are they living

:54:27. > :54:30.there year-round? Is that the home? What's happening? Common dolphins

:54:31. > :54:35.generally we would see in the summer, from about May to October,

:54:36. > :54:38.but I had to quickly look through our sightings before I left and

:54:39. > :54:44.we've actually seen them throughout the winter this year. Although most

:54:45. > :54:48.numbers we will see during the summer, there seemed to be a feud

:54:49. > :54:51.here and there throughout the winter as well. Why do you think that is?

:54:52. > :54:58.What's changing? We aren't entirely sure. There could be lots of

:54:59. > :55:01.reasons, more food, or a shift in their distribution. These animals

:55:02. > :55:07.travel long distances and it might just be that they are shifting

:55:08. > :55:10.further north. In the Hebrides we know that seasurface temperatures

:55:11. > :55:13.are increasing by about half a degree every decade and common

:55:14. > :55:18.dolphins in particular generally are a warmer water species, as we would

:55:19. > :55:23.normally expect to see them around topics and warm temperate waters. So

:55:24. > :55:27.this might be forcing them further north and in the coastal waters.

:55:28. > :55:31.Beautiful images. Most people don't have access to a yacht or underwater

:55:32. > :55:36.filming. Can you see them from the shore, or from the beach in certain

:55:37. > :55:41.places? In certain places. Maybe not common dolphins, there are harbour

:55:42. > :55:45.porpoises. I seen them within 50 metres off the beach when I've been

:55:46. > :55:50.walking along. So anybody in the whole of the UK has an opportunity

:55:51. > :55:56.to see them. Are there hotspots apart from the Hebrides? I used to

:55:57. > :56:02.see them in Norfolk. They are down off the south coast of Wales,

:56:03. > :56:05.Ireland, all around the UK there is fantastic marine life out there,

:56:06. > :56:11.whether it be seals, whales, dolphins. Just get out and see.

:56:12. > :56:13.Thanks for an much for your time this morning.

:56:14. > :59:35.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:02:13. > :02:19.to people that these profound challenges such as we face

:02:20. > :02:23.with an ageing population are ones where there is a silver

:02:24. > :02:25.bullet that you can solve We have a very good plan,

:02:40. > :02:43.to spend six months in a hospital because no

:02:44. > :02:50.care home space was available. He said he didn't want to make

:02:51. > :02:53.excuses and this was unacceptable. It was incredibly

:02:54. > :02:57.frustrating for me. I'm doing this job, because I want

:02:58. > :03:01.NHS care to be the safest and best And that kind of care

:03:02. > :03:03.is completely unacceptable. And no one would want it for members

:03:04. > :03:07.of their own family. He added that problems over

:03:08. > :03:10.the sustainability of social care, he said, were now being

:03:11. > :03:20.addressed by the government. But Sir Robert Francis

:10:38. > :10:41.wait a long time and they are in crowded situations and they are

:11:02. > :11:07.busy environment at the moment makes that very difficult. And as you say,

:11:08. > :11:10.a lot of this is coming from the frustration of patients who are

:11:11. > :11:13.waiting a long time. As you say, there is so much pressure on

:11:14. > :11:18.everybody in hospitals at the moment. Do you think staff deal

:11:19. > :11:23.unsafe? They can. They are the people trying to provide that care.

:11:24. > :11:27.At the same time they are trying to de-escalate a serious situation. The

:11:28. > :11:30.other thing is we need better sanctions. Too often there is no

:11:31. > :11:36.sanction against people that assault our NHS staff. What we believe is we

:11:37. > :11:42.should make it an offence. That if people wilfully assault a member of

:11:43. > :11:46.an staff, that they should be prosecuted. And one of the things

:11:47. > :11:50.that NHS Protect have done is they support the staff when police have

:11:51. > :11:56.not taken it any further and have actually got in some convictions the

:11:57. > :12:00.read. They have been very supportive on people in the frontline. --

:12:01. > :12:03.through it. How have they done that? Working individually with people who

:12:04. > :12:08.have been assaulted like nurses and other health professionals. They

:12:09. > :12:12.also provide the training and the support to NHS Trusts. And we have

:12:13. > :12:16.not been consulted about this change, and we have not been

:12:17. > :12:21.officially told this service is going. We have been very concerned.

:12:22. > :12:25.At this particular time we need the support more than ever. Agencies

:12:26. > :12:29.like this takes the pressure off the trust. They are so busy providing

:12:30. > :12:34.the care that we really believe we need the special support and

:12:35. > :12:39.security that each NHS Trust can not afford to provide themselves. Are

:12:40. > :12:44.you worried now that that NHS support will go? Get. We do not know

:12:45. > :12:49.what will be in its place. We are left unsure because no one has had a

:12:50. > :12:54.talk with us about this. We need more sanctions and more protection

:12:55. > :12:59.for staff. And we need to make sure it is seen as unacceptable to

:13:00. > :13:04.assault a member of NHS staff. Just hearing you talking about assaults

:13:05. > :13:08.becoming more common, what actually happens in a department if someone

:13:09. > :13:18.assaults someone else? What happens in the process? The process,

:13:19. > :13:21.obviously, if it is an actual assaults, we will consult the police

:13:22. > :13:25.and they will come and we would hope that person would be arrested. We

:13:26. > :13:31.would hope that that person would be a sick following that. That is the

:13:32. > :13:40.process we would expect. -- arrested. It is stressful for staff

:13:41. > :13:45.and their families to be assaulted. They are trying to do their best. We

:13:46. > :13:48.would expect this to be taken further and sanctions put against

:13:49. > :13:53.someone wilfully assaulted. There are some cases because of medical

:13:54. > :13:55.conditions, they may be confused, they may have mental health

:13:56. > :14:00.problems, where they get violent. We're talking about that. We are

:14:01. > :14:04.talking about wilful assault on staff. Before I let you go,

:14:05. > :14:09.obviously, Jeremy Hunt has done an interview last night. He has talked

:14:10. > :14:13.about the current situation in the NHS being unacceptable is. It is

:14:14. > :14:21.unacceptable. We need some big changes in how our health system.

:14:22. > :14:26.What do we need to provide? Much more money. We need to look at the

:14:27. > :14:30.percentage of GDP. The difficulty is because we pay it through taxation

:14:31. > :14:34.it becomes a difficult issue. We need to have a talk through all

:14:35. > :14:38.parties about how much we are willing to pay for a fantastic

:14:39. > :14:43.health and social care service. Thank you very much for your time.

:14:44. > :14:50.The Chief Executive of the Royal College of Nursing.

:14:51. > :14:55.A little bit nippy today? Just a little bit. Good morning. It gets

:14:56. > :15:00.even more nippy through the weekend. This morning, temperatures aren't

:15:01. > :15:04.especially low, but the increasing wind is adding to the chill. A bit

:15:05. > :15:09.of frost and ice in eastern areas and wintry showers across the

:15:10. > :15:13.eastern half of the country. Waking up to a covering of snow this

:15:14. > :15:17.morning in eastern parts of Scotland and north-east England. Further

:15:18. > :15:25.south, across southern parts of eastern England, this is where it is

:15:26. > :15:30.mainly rain and drizzle. West is best for the weather. Northwest

:15:31. > :15:35.Scotland, lots of lovely sunshine and temperatures picking up a little

:15:36. > :15:38.bit. Eastern Scotland, north-east England, wintry flurries continue.

:15:39. > :15:42.Parts of Cumbria shouldn't fare too badly. A generally grey picture

:15:43. > :15:46.further south throughout the day. There could be some brightness into

:15:47. > :15:49.east Anglia and the south-east later, but further patchy rain and

:15:50. > :15:55.drizzle at times. Still misty over the hills. Across the country

:15:56. > :16:01.temperatures are struggling. There could be the odd shower in the Devon

:16:02. > :16:06.and Cornwall, but much of the south-west will be dry. In Northern

:16:07. > :16:11.Ireland, one or a two rain and sleet showers. They will continue into the

:16:12. > :16:15.afternoon. Many will be dry, with sunshine at times. West is best for

:16:16. > :16:20.the sunshine and for the clear skies as we go into the night, but still

:16:21. > :16:23.plenty of cloud in eastern areas. The showers become more abundant

:16:24. > :16:28.into the morning as well. A mixture of sleet and snow. A good covering

:16:29. > :16:32.in the Pennines and eastern Scotland through the weekend. A cold start to

:16:33. > :16:38.the weekend. There could be ice around. Frost in the west, -10 in

:16:39. > :16:43.Northwest Scotland to begin with. Lots of cloud elsewhere. Stronger

:16:44. > :16:48.wind tomorrow. Make note of that if you are spending any outdoors. And

:16:49. > :16:52.more showers. They will start as sleet and snow. For most it will

:16:53. > :16:57.turn back to rain as we go through the day. Temperatures are little app

:16:58. > :17:02.on the day and the winds making it feel colder. In the Sunday the wind

:17:03. > :17:06.gets stronger, gale force around the coast of England and Wales. The best

:17:07. > :17:10.of the sunshine in Scotland and Northern Ireland. A few showers

:17:11. > :17:14.around. Potentially a little bit of sleet over higher ground, but the

:17:15. > :17:18.wind will make it feel even colder than you would imagine. Before I go,

:17:19. > :17:23.I should tell you that tonight with clear skies in the north and west

:17:24. > :17:29.you may get to see not only the full moon, known at this time of year as

:17:30. > :17:35.a snow moon, but also a lunar eclipse. While the moon won't

:17:36. > :17:39.disappear completely it will just turn a little bit darker in shade.

:17:40. > :17:49.That happens between about 10:30pm tonight and 3am.

:17:50. > :17:51.What's it called? Penumbral. I just want to impress someone later

:17:52. > :17:54.in the day! OK.

:17:55. > :17:57.I hope someone corrects me. Thank you.

:17:58. > :18:04.Everyday is school day with Matt! Space - the final frontier and one

:18:05. > :18:08.where there are fortunes to be made in everything from satellite

:18:09. > :18:15.technology to tourism. How exciting would it be to have the

:18:16. > :18:16.prospect of launching space missions from the UK?

:18:17. > :18:18.Over the next three years, the government is planning

:18:19. > :18:20.on investing millions in the UK's first spaceport.

:18:21. > :18:24.Sean is at the National Space Centre.

:18:25. > :18:30.You are enjoying yourself with a future where is?

:18:31. > :18:36.This is not a Tory! Good morning. -- with a view to ease?

:18:37. > :18:42.I found the astronaut training section. Apparently this helps you

:18:43. > :18:45.get used to spacewalking. I'm not really sure how I am doing at the

:18:46. > :18:49.moment, but Tim Peake started somewhere. Tim Peake was in

:18:50. > :18:54.International Space Station last year for six months and a lot of

:18:55. > :19:01.that was funded by UK cash. The UK space industry... It is worth about

:19:02. > :19:08.?14 billion to the economy and overall it supports about 40,000

:19:09. > :19:12.jobs. I am trying to get over to our guest, what I am struggling at the

:19:13. > :19:18.moment. Come here and give me a hand! It isn't just about... Have to

:19:19. > :19:22.get out of this chair. It is just about learning how to walk in space,

:19:23. > :19:25.one of the things you realise is the UK space industry is more about

:19:26. > :19:31.getting Tim Peake there? Absolutely. There are lots of hidden things. I

:19:32. > :19:34.think Tim Peake has highlighted what is already a thriving industry that

:19:35. > :19:43.has existed since the beginning of the space race, the 1960s. When

:19:44. > :19:47.people use their sat navs to get to work in the morning or the weather

:19:48. > :19:52.forecast... That space ingrained in everyday life and people take it for

:19:53. > :19:56.granted. It is the beach it -- GPS satellites that tell us where we

:19:57. > :20:00.are, the weather satellite systems, the climate monitoring, the disaster

:20:01. > :20:03.monitoring. So the fact that we can look at a country and see whether

:20:04. > :20:08.flooding is happening, whether wildfires are happening. That is all

:20:09. > :20:12.coming from space. We will talk about this later but the potential

:20:13. > :20:22.of a spaceport and take off from the UK, how does that tie in?

:20:23. > :20:25.ALARM BLARES We will have a little bit more later on that spaceport and

:20:26. > :20:29.whether spaceflight could happen for the UK.

:20:30. > :20:37.Thank you. That was brilliant to see you in that machine! Hardly moving!

:20:38. > :20:42.He was still trying to make it work. We will keep him on business.

:20:43. > :20:45.Dog owners who don't clean up after their pet's done its business.

:20:46. > :20:48.We've all seen the results and it drives people mad.

:20:49. > :20:56.Well, following a successful pilot in one London borough,

:20:57. > :20:59.the Isle of Man could be the latest authority about to introduce

:21:00. > :21:02.Irresponsible owners could then be traced and fined.

:21:03. > :21:11.They may be manned's best friend but the mess some leave behind is

:21:12. > :21:17.unpleasant and even dangerous. But soon it could also be evidence and

:21:18. > :21:22.the dog's Ohno brought to justice. But after a pilot scheme in the

:21:23. > :21:26.London borough introduced voluntary DNA testing at the start of last

:21:27. > :21:34.year, after just three months they saw a 50% drop in dog fouling will

:21:35. > :21:37.stop now they hope to make it compulsory and others are taking

:21:38. > :21:42.their lead. The Isle of Man is launching a public consultation in a

:21:43. > :21:47.plan to launch a bear. You can track back from the DNA profile dog poo on

:21:48. > :21:54.the pavement to the dog that has left the mess behind. With all been

:21:55. > :22:00.there. And it seems to present nerve among the main public. It's a cost

:22:01. > :22:03.of about ?30 per dog and it isn't cheap. With UK local authorities

:22:04. > :22:09.already under huge financial constraint, there are questions over

:22:10. > :22:11.who would pay to trace dog owners that have fallen foul of the law.

:22:12. > :22:13.Joining us now is Allison Ogden-Newton, from the charity

:22:14. > :22:25.Good morning. Thanks for joining us. What do you think of this idea? DNA

:22:26. > :22:29.testing dog poo? I think anything that will encourage people to clean

:22:30. > :22:33.after their dogs has got to be a good idea. On that level we think

:22:34. > :22:36.it's good, but I don't think we will be recommending it on a national

:22:37. > :22:40.basis because we think that there might be some financial constraints.

:22:41. > :22:46.It might be an expensive thing? It sounds like quite a technology... A

:22:47. > :22:51.lot of technology involved, presumably? Presumably. That could

:22:52. > :22:56.be quite restrictive and obviously local authorities are experiencing

:22:57. > :23:00.economic constraints. There are other initiatives that get the kind

:23:01. > :23:04.of results that are purported to have been achieved. Some people are

:23:05. > :23:09.suggesting that people who have their dogs chipped and are

:23:10. > :23:14.registered are probably the ones who are most likely to be responsible

:23:15. > :23:19.owners. So the linkup probably isn't there? That's true. We are

:23:20. > :23:23.struggling to get all dogs chipped, but the people who are getting their

:23:24. > :23:29.dogs chipped are the ones who are most likely to be responsible, and I

:23:30. > :23:34.think this survey, this initiative, relies upon people registering their

:23:35. > :23:41.dog's DNA, so again that will be quite expensive and I think we're

:23:42. > :23:47.probably not there yet. Is it still a big problem? You don't see it

:23:48. > :23:53.around as often as you used to. Is it still a big problem? We are

:23:54. > :23:57.making progress. We are running an initiative which gets about a 50%

:23:58. > :24:01.reduction and it has been really well-received. In places like

:24:02. > :24:10.Harrogate, they've seen a production of 90%. How does it work? Luminous

:24:11. > :24:13.frightening eyes remind people that if they are being watched they

:24:14. > :24:21.behave differently. They are just signs that say "we're watching you"

:24:22. > :24:26.at glow-in-the-dark, because people mostly leave dog mess behind in the

:24:27. > :24:32.dark. Is fear of being caught the best incentive? I think so. My local

:24:33. > :24:38.authority, Richmond, has fines of up to ?1000 which is definitely working

:24:39. > :24:42.on people's view of getting caught. It mostly relies on people doing the

:24:43. > :24:45.right thing because they are thinking about what other people

:24:46. > :24:49.would ring. In that sense they are asking people to be responsible. --

:24:50. > :24:54.people would think. It isn't necessarily that they are getting

:24:55. > :24:59.caught, it is that a responsible dog owner doesn't leave a mess behind.

:25:00. > :25:03.You mentioned the fines. Do we know how many are issued? And are fines

:25:04. > :25:07.issued? Different local authorities take different measures, but

:25:08. > :25:12.definitely dog fouling is something that is becoming commonplace, as is

:25:13. > :25:17.the reduction of dog mess, so we think it is making an impact. We've

:25:18. > :25:21.had quite a few e-mails about this. One says perhaps bringing back the

:25:22. > :25:25.dog licence would help. Too many owners don't pick up and that gives

:25:26. > :25:29.responsible owners are bad name as well. Helen, only a good idea if DNA

:25:30. > :25:33.results can be used to prove ownership if the dog is lost or

:25:34. > :25:35.stolen. Thank you very much for coming in.

:25:36. > :25:36.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:29:59. > :30:02.silver-bullet where we can solve the problem overnight. There is a good

:38:17. > :38:30.heaven. Which you will see. Long delays in Accident

:38:31. > :38:32.and Emergency, high bed-rate This winter the pressures

:38:33. > :38:37.on hospitals have been mounting. So what does the man in charge

:38:38. > :38:39.make of the challenges The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt sat

:38:40. > :38:48.down with our Health Editor Hugh We have seen pictures from the Royal

:38:49. > :38:52.Blackburn of mothers and babies waiting for ours. -- hours. It is

:38:53. > :38:57.incredibly frustrating for me. Doing this job, I want to see the NHS

:38:58. > :39:01.having the best care in the world. That kind of care is completely

:39:02. > :39:06.unacceptable and no one wants it for their own family. What can you do

:39:07. > :39:12.about it? I think you have to recognise that overall, there are

:39:13. > :39:16.positive things as well as negative things. And there is huge commitment

:39:17. > :39:21.in the NHS to sort out those negative things. In the particular

:39:22. > :39:27.pressure point we have is Accident and Emergency. And what we need to

:39:28. > :39:30.do is find ways of treating people, especially with complex conditions,

:39:31. > :39:34.older people with dementia, treating them at home or in the community.

:39:35. > :39:39.That is the big direction of change we have embarked on. That is longer

:39:40. > :39:43.term. What we are seeing right now in hospitals, the things we have

:39:44. > :39:47.seen on the BBC this week, real stress and real strain. Performance

:39:48. > :39:53.targets, the worst since 2004. What can you do about it? Shouldn't you

:39:54. > :39:57.be doing more? I think it is wrong to suggest to people that these

:39:58. > :40:01.profound challenges such as we face with an ageing population are ones

:40:02. > :40:05.where there is a silver-bullet and you can solve the problem overnight

:40:06. > :40:10.We have a very good plan. It has the support of the NHS. It will take

:40:11. > :40:13.time to deliver. But in terms of immediate support, we are doing what

:40:14. > :40:18.we can with extra financial support to the NHS these year. More doctors

:40:19. > :40:22.and more nurses. But we also have to think about the people in the NHS to

:40:23. > :40:26.a working very hard to sort out these problems. And we need the help

:40:27. > :40:32.of the public. We know that a number of people seen in Accident and

:40:33. > :40:36.Emergency could have their needs dealt with another part of the NHS.

:40:37. > :40:41.We need to make sure that as far as we can we free up people in Accident

:40:42. > :40:45.and Emergency departments, especially with older patients with

:40:46. > :40:48.particular needs. Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, speaking to our

:40:49. > :40:56.health editor, Hugh Pym. As we heard, long waits in the Accident

:40:57. > :41:02.and Emergency department are unacceptable according to Jeremy

:41:03. > :41:05.Hunt. Almost a year ago, Greater Manchester became the first local

:41:06. > :41:08.authority in England to take control of its health and social care

:41:09. > :41:13.budget, allowing them to try out new ways of joining up the two services.

:41:14. > :41:15.So has it been successful in providing better

:41:16. > :41:18.Jon Rouse, Chief officer of the Greater Manchester Health

:41:19. > :41:20.and Social Care Partnership joins us.

:41:21. > :41:26.What are the ground rules? Some people may not understand the bigger

:41:27. > :41:31.picture with the money. You now get a lump sum of money that you decide

:41:32. > :41:35.how you are going to spend. Yes. The government and the NHS national

:41:36. > :41:39.bodies in Greater Manchester have been able to make their own

:41:40. > :41:43.decisions, some ?6 billion of resources are spent on the NHS and

:41:44. > :41:47.social care every year... How much money did you get? In total across

:41:48. > :41:53.Greater Manchester, ?6 billion a year. ?6 billion. How long have you

:41:54. > :41:57.been running? We started on the first of April, the first year. It

:41:58. > :42:02.is early days. But we have been able to innovate already. In what way I

:42:03. > :42:05.doing things differently? I would say that what it boils down to is

:42:06. > :42:09.that we are investing far further upstream to try to prevent the sort

:42:10. > :42:12.of problems you have heard about this morning in terms of the

:42:13. > :42:17.interview with Jeremy Hunt from being the reality on the ground.

:42:18. > :42:20.What does upstream in? It means investing in people is health and

:42:21. > :42:23.well-being. We know that, for example, a large number of

:42:24. > :42:27.admissions for the frail and elderly going to hospital are due to the

:42:28. > :42:32.fact that either they have had a fall, or they are dehydrated, or

:42:33. > :42:35.suffering from some kind of malnutrition. If we can get some

:42:36. > :42:39.programmes for them into their homes and care homes to make sure they do

:42:40. > :42:43.not fall over and are receiving the right food and drink, then they are

:42:44. > :42:46.far less likely to end up in hospital and Accident and Emergency.

:42:47. > :42:50.That sounds like a lot. That is either a medium or long-term goal.

:42:51. > :42:54.In the short time you have been operating the system, are using less

:42:55. > :42:58.people turning up in Accident and Emergency? Because I think Jeremy

:42:59. > :43:02.Hunt described it as that being the pressure point. Are there fewer

:43:03. > :43:06.people turning up in Accident and Emergency? We are not seeing a

:43:07. > :43:10.significant increase in attendance in Accident and Emergency. Where we

:43:11. > :43:14.are studying is enabling people to move out of hospital, especially the

:43:15. > :43:19.frail and elderly. And that is due to the pressures on the social care

:43:20. > :43:22.system. Our view is that if there is one point on the system that needs

:43:23. > :43:26.fixing more urgently than any other it is investment in social care to

:43:27. > :43:33.enable people to go home with the right package or go suitable care.

:43:34. > :43:37.Are you putting more money in for that? We are using some of the NHS's

:43:38. > :43:44.resources to invest in social care. But that is not a complete fix We

:43:45. > :43:47.also need additional national investment if we are going to

:43:48. > :43:51.achieve our goals. Because of the way this has been broken down, so,

:43:52. > :43:54.you look after a specific area, do you know, you talk about the 6

:43:55. > :43:58.billion pounds figure, which is what you got last time around, if you

:43:59. > :44:01.were the person writing the cheque with which you, as the man who is

:44:02. > :44:06.running this very important area, with a lot of health problems, if

:44:07. > :44:10.you were writing that check in order to make it possible to do what you

:44:11. > :44:16.think you need to do, how much would that figure rise by? -- cheque. If

:44:17. > :44:20.we had that cheque authorised for social care, if all the priorities

:44:21. > :44:23.we have, that is what is most pressing, the gap for social care

:44:24. > :44:29.next year in Greater Manchester is ?76 million. The government, through

:44:30. > :44:32.allowing increases in the Council Tax, has allowed us to raise about

:44:33. > :44:37.?9 million extra next year. So we have still got a very significant

:44:38. > :44:41.gap of ?60 million that we have got to find a way to close. Said the

:44:42. > :44:46.most pressing, without any question in terms of the sustainability of

:44:47. > :44:51.the system, is to Schalke. How do you close that gap? If the recesses

:44:52. > :44:56.were available, what you would do is invest in capacity within the

:44:57. > :44:59.committee. -- resources. In Glasgow, they have reduced the delays in

:45:00. > :45:04.transfer out of hospital with intermediate care investment. That

:45:05. > :45:15.is the rehabilitation you need one to come out of hospital if you are

:45:16. > :45:21.frail and old. Enabling you to make a cup of tea again, a six support to

:45:22. > :45:25.allow people to live confidently. Just noting down some of the

:45:26. > :45:31.numbers, that 76 million which you say is the difference between

:45:32. > :45:34.offering what you want and the situation, relative to the 6 billion

:45:35. > :45:40.that is allocated it doesn't sound like that much in numbers. Remember,

:45:41. > :45:44.that 6 billion is also paying for all of the central NHS services, all

:45:45. > :45:49.of the cancer services, all other forms of diagnosis, all conditions.

:45:50. > :45:53.We are trying to use it creatively and innovatively. We are read our

:45:54. > :45:56.thing more money into community services, but they're still a

:45:57. > :46:03.significant gap. -- we are redirecting. Thanks for a much for

:46:04. > :46:07.coming in this morning. -- thanks very much.

:46:08. > :46:16.Let's have a look at the weather forecast. No surprises, it is cold!

:46:17. > :46:20.A rather grey and misty start this morning. Patchy rain and drizzle and

:46:21. > :46:25.a cold wind which will get stronger throughout the day. That's the story

:46:26. > :46:28.for many today. Some of us waking up to a bit of ice and a slight

:46:29. > :46:31.covering of snow in eastern Scotland and north-east England in

:46:32. > :46:37.particular. The wintry showers continue in eastern areas. Sleet and

:46:38. > :46:40.snow for north-east England, maybe a little bit of sleet further south

:46:41. > :46:46.and east. To the west, cloud will break up. The best of the sunshine

:46:47. > :46:49.in the north-west of Scotland. Here, sunshine continues into the

:46:50. > :46:53.afternoon. Across eastern Scotland and north-east England, another

:46:54. > :46:58.temporary covering of snow. To the west of the Pennines, not faring

:46:59. > :47:03.badly as far as sunshine is concerned. Through much of England

:47:04. > :47:07.and Wales it is grey and misty. Further patchy rain and drizzle and

:47:08. > :47:12.no temperature is, 1- five Celsius for many. There may be some breaks

:47:13. > :47:16.in the cloud to the south-east. A better chance further west. Even

:47:17. > :47:21.Devon and Cornwall could have the odd shower pushing through. Wales

:47:22. > :47:25.should stay dry. Cardigan bay the best for the sunshine. In Northern

:47:26. > :47:31.Ireland we have some wintry flurries around, maybe some into the

:47:32. > :47:34.afternoon, but the vast majority will be dry, with occasional quinces

:47:35. > :47:41.of sunshine. Overnight west is best for the breaks. Many central and

:47:42. > :47:46.eastern areas stay cloudy and showers become more abundant to the

:47:47. > :47:49.east overnight, as the wind continues to pick SAP. Temperatures

:47:50. > :47:56.for many around freezing. There is the risk of ice. In clear spots lows

:47:57. > :48:03.of minus ten. A cold start to the weekend for all. The wind does pick

:48:04. > :48:08.up on that day, making it feel even colder -- on Saturday. Sleet and

:48:09. > :48:12.snow to begin with. Turning back to rain through the afternoon and there

:48:13. > :48:15.could be a good covering of snow in the Pennines and the hills of

:48:16. > :48:20.south-east Scotland. Temperatures not far off today, but the wind will

:48:21. > :48:24.make it feel colder. On Saturday and Sunday the best of the weather will

:48:25. > :48:29.be in the north-west of Scotland. The hats more in the way of brighter

:48:30. > :48:35.breaks in England and Wales on Sunday, but more showers to come.

:48:36. > :48:40.Mainly rain, drizzle and sleet. Touching gale force in places. It is

:48:41. > :48:46.going to feel colder than you think if you were to look at your

:48:47. > :48:51.thermometers. Freezing all day long. Keep yourself wrapped up warm

:48:52. > :48:54.through the weekend! Next week the winds turned to a more southerly

:48:55. > :48:59.direction and perhaps something a little bit less chilly.

:49:00. > :49:01.We don't need to look at a thermometer, we can just look at

:49:02. > :49:06.you! I got my telling off from you

:49:07. > :49:11.earlier, so I thought I'd better put my scarf on. I took my jacket off so

:49:12. > :49:17.I did feel the benefit when I left. Lovely! Thank you.

:49:18. > :49:19.He took his jacket off in order to feel the benefit when he put it back

:49:20. > :49:20.on? That the one!

:49:21. > :49:23.Thank you. The race is on to save around 100

:49:24. > :49:27.whales stranded on a beach The pilot whales were discovered

:49:28. > :49:33.on Farewell Spit, on the South Distressing pictures show hundreds

:49:34. > :49:37.more that have already died. Andrew Lamason of the Department

:49:38. > :49:49.of Conservation joins us We've seen some of the pictures.

:49:50. > :49:54.What the situation the moment? The tide is coming back in. We are

:49:55. > :50:01.trying to get the last of the people off the beach and we will leave the

:50:02. > :50:04.remaining whales on the beach overnight and get here first thing

:50:05. > :50:14.in the morning. Are you able to save some of them? That's the ultimate

:50:15. > :50:21.goal, that's what we are trying for. It is quite unusual, the way the

:50:22. > :50:24.port has behaved. A number of them are already dead when we first

:50:25. > :50:28.arrived this morning, indicating there is something going on with

:50:29. > :50:33.these guys and they probably aren't that healthy. The ones that are

:50:34. > :50:40.alive haven't behaved that well and the ones on the beach, they didn't

:50:41. > :50:49.really want to leave. How do you actually get them off and what

:50:50. > :50:54.happens next? So during the low tide we have the whales on the beach and

:50:55. > :50:58.we do what we can to keep them as calm and comfortable as possible. We

:50:59. > :51:02.put sheets over them and we wait for the tide to come in. This part of

:51:03. > :51:10.New Zealand, we have really big tides. So when that tide comes in

:51:11. > :51:14.that's an opportunity to try and refloat these whales and get them

:51:15. > :51:19.back out into the sea. You mentioned this being unusual, but what you

:51:20. > :51:23.think has happened? Why are there so many? It isn't unusual to get

:51:24. > :51:31.strandings. What is unusual is that this number, or the number who have

:51:32. > :51:35.died so quickly... On other occasions we have had big strandings

:51:36. > :51:39.but have managed to get most of them off again. These ones died quickly,

:51:40. > :51:45.so that's more of a challenge for us. Yes, so we have to work our way

:51:46. > :51:51.through. We are doing what we can. 100 11 as still on the beach. --

:51:52. > :51:56.111. There are some swimming out in the day, but they aren't looking

:51:57. > :52:00.great either. It is too dangerous to have people around the whales at

:52:01. > :52:05.night in the water, as you can appreciate, so we will wait for

:52:06. > :52:12.light and we will go for it again. Good luck to your teams out there.

:52:13. > :52:21.That was Andrew from the New Zealand Department of conservation.

:52:22. > :52:26.Imagine how exciting it would be to launch a rocket into space from the

:52:27. > :52:32.UK? Sean is with us. Right now I am in a

:52:33. > :52:38.replica of the Mercury Capshaw. That was the US capsule used for the

:52:39. > :52:42.first US astronaut to go into orbit. This morning we are talking about

:52:43. > :52:46.the UK industry, money put into things like this, a replica of the

:52:47. > :52:51.module from International Space Station that Tim Peake spent a lot

:52:52. > :52:56.of time in last year. Shall we get on-board? This is pretty important.

:52:57. > :52:59.?14 billion is put into the UK economy by the space industry it

:53:00. > :53:07.supports tens of thousands of jobs, and if we get on-board... This is

:53:08. > :53:12.pretty important. You are from the National Space Centre, where we are.

:53:13. > :53:17.What kind of links with the UK have with a capsule like this? This is

:53:18. > :53:23.the: this module, the European Space Agency module. -- Columbus module.

:53:24. > :53:31.When Tim Peake was up for six months last year, he would have worked in

:53:32. > :53:37.here. It is a research laboratory. He would have spent a lot of time in

:53:38. > :53:40.something just like this. Martin, that word, European Space Agency, a

:53:41. > :53:45.lot of questions around the current relationship the UK might have with

:53:46. > :53:49.that after leaving the EU. Will that change anything? Hopefully not. It

:53:50. > :53:52.is important to make sure we get that right, because the European

:53:53. > :53:56.Space Agency is essentially the way we do almost all about space

:53:57. > :54:00.research at the moment. Especially our Earth observation science will

:54:01. > :54:08.stop if we don't keep access to that, we will have some problems

:54:09. > :54:12.when we leave Europe. But actually it isn't the European Union, which

:54:13. > :54:19.is comfortable. And our relationship will continue. But separately we do

:54:20. > :54:25.a lot of trade with Europe, 50% of our exports goes to Europe. Are

:54:26. > :54:30.there concerns that this might change? Everyone is worried about

:54:31. > :54:33.the uncertainties, but I don't think it will change much because space is

:54:34. > :54:38.a global business, these relationships will have to continue.

:54:39. > :54:42.While we can't live without them, they can't live without as, I think

:54:43. > :54:47.we will be able to keep that going. Space is a global business. Andy,

:54:48. > :54:50.you run a business that looks at space technologies and we've heard

:54:51. > :54:54.this week the government wants to push plans along for us to get a

:54:55. > :54:57.spaceport in the UK, where we can take off and launch things

:10:17. > :10:23.They eventually ended up in Staffordshire, where the county

:10:24. > :10:25.council helped them to get fostered by Jackie and Bob Meredith.

:10:26. > :10:39.Thank you for joining us. Good morning. Ahmad, just tell us how did

:10:40. > :10:44.you end up coming to the UK, because it is quite a story, you were all so

:10:45. > :10:53.Young when you travelled here. Tell us about what happened. We basically

:10:54. > :10:56.got from Afghanistan to here, we got handed from person-to-person and got

:10:57. > :11:01.sold from one person to the other and we ended up in the UK after

:11:02. > :11:07.being put in a fridge for 48 hours. You came by lorry, you were on your

:11:08. > :11:11.own through that? It was a mix. Sometimes we would mix with other

:11:12. > :11:15.people and everyone would go to their own destiny nations. But we

:11:16. > :11:21.ended up in the UK and most of it was walking. But in some parts we

:11:22. > :11:29.had to catch a lorry or cars and so we have used all sorts of transport.

:11:30. > :11:38.Jawad, you're 18 now, how old were you when this journey started? I was

:11:39. > :11:42.about... When I came here I was 13. It is an extraordinary time to go

:11:43. > :11:46.through an ordeal like that. When you think back now about what you

:11:47. > :11:53.went through the, what are your thoughts? Sorry that with one is for

:11:54. > :11:58.you. When you think back on that journey, what are your thoughts. I

:11:59. > :12:03.can't explain. I still think it is unreal. I still don't think it's

:12:04. > :12:10.happened. But it has actually happened to me. And we have

:12:11. > :12:14.completely changed now. Jackie, obviously, you fostered the lads

:12:15. > :12:21.seven years ago now, tell us how that came about. We had a call, I

:12:22. > :12:26.was at work and Bob was retired, just to say there is these young

:12:27. > :12:30.guys and I was hesitant, because it was something I was like, oh, I'm

:12:31. > :12:34.not sure about this. Bob is brilliant and said come home and

:12:35. > :12:39.let's talk about it. We met the guys, who were eleven and 13 and

:12:40. > :12:48.they were just little tiny dots. Frightened. Terrified. They had got

:12:49. > :12:53.no one. And when you knew, well, we didn't really know what a horrendous

:12:54. > :12:59.time they had getting here. It took a few years for it to come out. We

:13:00. > :13:05.had to get through post traumatic stress with them. But they have

:13:06. > :13:13.flourished and they were so determined and dedicated to get a

:13:14. > :13:19.new life. When they first came, when you walked in the room, they would

:13:20. > :13:23.all stand up. We were like sit down, you're home, you're safe. People

:13:24. > :13:28.know it is raw for you. You're not here to talk about politics, but

:13:29. > :13:31.when you hear about a scheme to bring more youngsters in similar

:13:32. > :13:37.situations and you here about that closing down, what are your

:13:38. > :13:42.thoughts? Not knowing the full ins and outs of it, you don't want to be

:13:43. > :13:48.too judgmental. But it does seem to think if we have agreed to take

:13:49. > :13:52.3,000, we have only taken 350, there is something that doesn't ring right

:13:53. > :13:57.and it shouldn't be happening. With the situation in general, it is just

:13:58. > :14:03.almost unbelievable in this day and age that this sort of thing is going

:14:04. > :14:07.on almost like a sort of... A holocaust sort of situation. So

:14:08. > :14:11.really we should be helping as many of these young people as we can.

:14:12. > :14:17.Because eventually these lads will go on to be useful members of our

:14:18. > :14:22.society and it will start putting into society again. Could I ask you

:14:23. > :14:27.Ahmad, one of the thoughts from the Government is that the danger is by

:14:28. > :14:31.accepting more young people like yourselves, who are in dire

:14:32. > :14:37.situations, it will encourage more people to try and come here. When

:14:38. > :14:40.you hear that, what do you think? To be honest, if people are to come

:14:41. > :14:45.here they would come regardless of whether you take them or not. Even

:14:46. > :14:52.if you send them back, them come back. People who have been deported

:14:53. > :14:57.back to Afghanistan, we hear stories of them all the time, they always

:14:58. > :15:03.come back. Because of how grim the circumstances are they trying to

:15:04. > :15:06.escape? Yes extremely grim. You go to Afghanistan, you can't do

:15:07. > :15:10.anything, you end up under a bridge smoking cocaine or whatever. You end

:15:11. > :15:15.up on drugs. There is no help for you. There is no where for you stay,

:15:16. > :15:21.people like myself f you have no one to go to, if you don't have family,

:15:22. > :15:26.how could you after spending seven or eight years here, how could you

:15:27. > :15:35.do back and reintegrate into society. You would not be accepted.

:15:36. > :15:42.Do you still have contact with your family? No. That must be

:15:43. > :15:48.heartbreaking, not to know where your family are. We don't know if

:15:49. > :15:55.they are still alive. We don't know anything about them. We heard Jackie

:15:56. > :15:59.and Bob talking about their side of the story, about how they helped you

:16:00. > :16:06.at the beginning. What was it like for you when you first arrived? What

:16:07. > :16:11.are your memories? I was completely scared, didn't know what to do. It

:16:12. > :16:17.was a survival challenge for us. We didn't know where to go, but as soon

:16:18. > :16:23.as we got into foster care, with Jackie and Bob, they helped us to

:16:24. > :16:26.get to where we are now. Did you fear initially that you wouldn't be

:16:27. > :16:34.able to stay here permanently? Is very time when that was the real

:16:35. > :16:43.fear? Yeah. With our court cases, we went through it a few times and got

:16:44. > :16:47.rejected. We kept having nightmares, kept thinking we were going to get

:16:48. > :16:52.sent back to Afghanistan, which we didn't want. But in the last month

:16:53. > :17:03.or so, we got the decision that we wanted. You were young teenagers. It

:17:04. > :17:12.took about seven months to get to the UK. We were 11 when we got here.

:17:13. > :17:18.And now you are a University, studying to be a doctor? I am

:17:19. > :17:23.studying biochemistry. I hope to become a medical doctor. Jackie, you

:17:24. > :17:29.must be very proud. You can tell just from the way you look, listen

:17:30. > :17:33.and engage. Absolutely. They are brilliant guys. When you think that

:17:34. > :17:38.they couldn't speak English when they came, their dedication and

:17:39. > :17:42.approach to life is fabulous. And they are such good fun as well.

:17:43. > :17:52.Thank you all very much for coming in. Let's find out what is happening

:17:53. > :18:03.with the weather. It is grey and Chile to start the

:18:04. > :18:08.day. Some people will be waking up to flurries of snow. Parts of

:18:09. > :18:17.Scotland and North East England have seen snow. Those wintry showers will

:18:18. > :18:21.continue through the day. We will see sunshine at times across western

:18:22. > :18:29.areas. Eastern Scotland and England, further showers through the day.

:18:30. > :18:33.Eastern Scotland and north-east England will have a mixture of sleet

:18:34. > :18:42.and snow, East Anglia will see sleet and drizzle. Sunshine at times to

:18:43. > :18:47.the west of the Pennines. All down the eastern strip, while there may

:18:48. > :18:53.be brightness breaking through the cloud, most will continue with grey

:18:54. > :18:56.skies. The showers will come and go. Some showers through the English

:18:57. > :19:01.Channel, running into southern parts of Devon and Cornwall. Not too many.

:19:02. > :19:06.Most places will be dry. A largely dry picture in Wales. The further

:19:07. > :19:16.east you are, the grey the skies will be. -- the more grave. Most

:19:17. > :19:24.showers should fizzle out into the afternoon, and most people will have

:19:25. > :19:26.a largely dry day. Temperatures are between one Celsius and seven

:19:27. > :19:31.Celsius. It will feel cooler as the wind develops, especially for

:19:32. > :19:35.England and Wales. The breeze picks up tonight. Further showers tonight,

:19:36. > :19:42.more abundant in the east. The West sees the clearest conditions.

:19:43. > :19:46.Temperatures will get down to -10 Celsius in some rural parts of

:19:47. > :19:55.Scotland. A lunar eclipse tonight. Into the weekend, wrap up well. The

:19:56. > :20:01.wind will be stronger. Plenty of showers on Saturday, across the

:20:02. > :20:06.whole country. Sleet and snow giving a good covering snow across the

:20:07. > :20:10.Pennines and parts of Scotland. On Sunday, the wind is stronger still.

:20:11. > :20:13.The showers will be fewer. The best of the sunny weather will be across

:20:14. > :20:18.parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Because of the strength of

:20:19. > :20:23.the wind on Sunday, temperatures will be made to feel even colder,

:20:24. > :20:27.more like subsea row through many parts of the country. We are well

:20:28. > :20:30.and truly still in the depths of winter. A sign, Charlie, that things

:20:31. > :20:34.will get less cold as we go into next week.

:20:35. > :20:47.Andy -- and the weather delivered with such warmth, Matt!

:20:48. > :20:49.Seeing dolphins in the wild is an experience many people

:20:50. > :20:52.And last year record numbers were spotted off

:20:53. > :20:56.The waters around the Hebrides are home to nearly 70 percent

:20:57. > :20:58.of Europe's dolphin, whale and porpoise species,

:20:59. > :21:00.but despite this we still know remarkably little

:21:01. > :21:02.about their habitats or the threats facing them.

:21:03. > :21:04.Lauren Hartny-Mills is a science officer from the Hebridean Whale

:21:05. > :21:14.This is really interesting, the fact that there are so many of them. Is

:21:15. > :21:22.it something people can see quite easily, all these different types of

:21:23. > :21:27.dolphins? Some species come right into the shore. So if you are

:21:28. > :21:31.walking a dog on the beach or on a ferry crossing, you stand a good

:21:32. > :21:40.chance of seeing some of the species. You filmed from your vessel

:21:41. > :21:48.that you use for filming underwater and on the surface. Are you seeing a

:21:49. > :21:55.substantial rise in numbers? Last year, we had some great sightings.

:21:56. > :21:59.What are these ones? These are common dolphins. That is our

:22:00. > :22:02.research vessel in the background. Just now, they are writing the

:22:03. > :22:12.pressure wave at the front of the vessel. This one has an almost

:22:13. > :22:17.yellow, lovely strike down the side. Why do you think there are so many

:22:18. > :22:22.now? It is hard to tell. It is one of those things where we not

:22:23. > :22:27.entirely sure. It could be that food resources are increasing, but common

:22:28. > :22:32.dolphins in particular, they are generally found in warm waters,

:22:33. > :22:38.around the tropics, in temperate seas, and in the Hebrides, we are

:22:39. > :22:40.seeing the temperature of the sea increasing by 0.5 degrees every

:22:41. > :22:48.decade. That could be encouraging them to go further north. How do you

:22:49. > :22:55.spot the difference between a dolphin and a poor poise? Is there

:22:56. > :22:59.an easy way? Porpoises are quite small, dolphins are a bit bigger.

:23:00. > :23:12.The poor poise has a triangular dorsal fin. Every species is

:23:13. > :23:18.different. We looked at the situation this morning in New

:23:19. > :23:24.Zealand with the stranded whales. We can probably see some pictures now.

:23:25. > :23:27.What do you think could be happening? Why would the whales

:23:28. > :23:35.become stranded in such large numbers? Pilot whales, the species

:23:36. > :23:38.stranded in New Zealand, have very strong family bonds, and they

:23:39. > :23:44.navigate using sound, similar to how we use sonar, and it's possible when

:23:45. > :23:48.they come into the shallow waters that they become disorientated, and

:23:49. > :23:54.sometimes, if one individual goes, the whole group will go with them.

:23:55. > :23:57.We were talking to one of the guys at the conservation unit in New

:23:58. > :24:02.Zealand, and he was saying it was quite dangerous trying to get them

:24:03. > :24:06.back into the sea as well. And sometimes when they have been on the

:24:07. > :24:11.land for a long time, some of their organs can become squashed by the

:24:12. > :24:17.sheer weight of the animal. Although they may be refloated, it may not be

:24:18. > :24:21.successful. We see a lot of volunteers involved, trying to help

:24:22. > :24:25.the whales. You also involve volunteers in your work. If people

:24:26. > :24:31.want to get involved, that is something they can do? Yes, on our

:24:32. > :24:37.research vessel, we have a small crew, and the other spaces are

:24:38. > :24:40.filled by volunteers. We train people to be marine mammal

:24:41. > :24:47.scientists for the trip. When you're in the Hebrides, if you see any

:24:48. > :24:57.whales, dolphins or, do let us know. We can identify individuals. You get

:24:58. > :25:03.to be a marine mammal scientists on board for the week, involved in all

:25:04. > :25:06.aspects of the trip, recording sightings, watching for sea birds,

:25:07. > :25:10.listening to the underwater acoustics. You are truly a scientist

:25:11. > :25:22.for the week. Sounds great. Thank you very much for your time. It 's

:25:23. > :25:25.8:25am. Sean is at the National space Centre in Leicester for us

:25:26. > :25:31.this morning, having another go at the equipment. Have you got it

:25:32. > :25:37.moving? Faster than last time. Smooth as you like. This is supposed

:25:38. > :25:40.to help you learn how to spacewalk, but I don't know how I will have the

:25:41. > :25:48.opportunity to try it out in real life. ?14 million the space industry

:25:49. > :25:59.is worth to the UK economy. It is pretty much the most highly skilled

:26:00. > :26:02.part of the UK economy. 40,000 jobs. This week, we have heard that

:26:03. > :26:06.another part of the jigsaw might start happening, in that a spaceport

:26:07. > :26:12.might be built in the UK. We build a lot of satellites, get them up

:26:13. > :26:19.there, and people slightly more skilled than me are in charge of

:26:20. > :26:25.that stuff. But we can't take from the UK yet. There might be one in

:26:26. > :26:28.Glasgow, or possibly Cornwall. Not quite the big rocket launches we are

:26:29. > :26:33.used to seeing on TV, with things falling apart, but perhaps

:26:34. > :26:39.aeroplanes taking off, and then things like this may take off from

:26:40. > :26:43.the aeroplanes. Space tourism is down the road, and we will talk

:26:44. > :26:48.about that in around half an hour. Could we be sitting in one of these?

:26:49. > :26:51.It costs quite a bit at the minute. But going off on holidays, never

:26:52. > :26:55.mind Cornwall or the south of Spain, we could be taking off, going into

:26:56. > :27:00.space. That is a long way down the line, costing quite a lot of money.

:27:01. > :27:01.We will talk about that later, but first, the news, travel and weather

:27:02. > :30:27.where you are. Hello this is Breakfast, with

:30:36. > :30:39.to 13 hours in A In a BBC interview he paid tribute

:30:40. > :30:42.to the hard work of staff - but said the problems of high demand

:30:43. > :30:55.were not unique to I think it is wrong to suggest to

:30:56. > :31:01.people that is profound challenges that we face with an ageing

:33:40. > :33:43.in the space industry could affect us all.

:33:44. > :33:45.And comedian Jack Whitehall's at large.

:34:08. > :34:10.She'll be here to tell us about her debut solo album

:34:11. > :34:23.Let's find out what is happening in the sport. The FA got a bit of a

:34:24. > :34:29.knuckle rapping? One MP said you are in extra time, you are 1-0 down, you

:34:30. > :34:30.need to do something now. Sorry for pointing at you like that! I was

:34:31. > :34:41.just making the point. Does not have any binding powers,

:34:42. > :34:44.but it is what happens next. If the FA don't reform, there could be

:34:45. > :34:47.legislation, they could have ?40 million of funding withdrawn. That

:34:48. > :34:49.could hit football. At the moment, more

:34:50. > :34:51.than 90% of the FA council And so this is all about helping

:34:52. > :34:56.the England national team and making the Football Association more

:34:57. > :34:58.reflective of the millions who play After a vote of no confidence

:34:59. > :35:03.in the FA by MPs, the Government will legislate if English football's

:35:04. > :35:07.governing body doesn't change. However, one of the FA members,

:35:08. > :35:11.Keith Compton, responded saying the FA is changing and added,

:35:12. > :35:15."It is pity that the MPs have got It wasn't the highest scoring start

:35:16. > :35:20.to the new Super League season - but St Helens fans won't care,

:35:21. > :35:24.as they beat their old rivals Leeds. The game was won by a moment

:35:25. > :35:27.of class as St Helens slid across the field before unpicking

:35:28. > :35:30.the door and finding a gap, with Frenchman Theo Farge squeezing

:35:31. > :35:37.across the line to make it 6-4. There's another big weekend

:35:38. > :35:41.ahead in the Six Nations. Scotland are in France on Sunday,

:36:01. > :36:03.Coach Eddie Jones had suggested he wasn't bothered and thinks Wales

:36:04. > :36:05.may have some other tricks up their sleeve.

:36:06. > :36:08.We are prepared for any shenanigans that may go on.

:36:18. > :36:19.I don't know, but they are cunning, the Welsh, aren't they?

:36:20. > :36:24.They have goats, daffodils, everything.

:36:25. > :36:32.Wales are very proud of the ceremonial goat that leads

:36:33. > :36:35.them out and are just as proud of George North, who has recovered

:36:36. > :36:38.from the leg injury he picked up scoring against Italy and is named

:36:39. > :36:40.in the side along with another injury worry Dan Biggar.

:36:41. > :36:46.We are looking forward to playing one of the best sides -

:37:21. > :37:23.has broken his own downhill speed It appears he's borrowed his outfit

:37:24. > :37:31.from Britney Spears and the helmet from the Nightmare movie,

:37:32. > :37:35.but it seemed to do the trick. Launching himself down a gravelly

:37:39. > :37:54.Stokl reached a jaw-dropping speed That is what it has done to him.

:37:55. > :38:01.Double helmet? It is the wind in your face at 104 mph. He is a

:38:02. > :38:07.downhill mountain bike skier, if you like. I have been downhill

:38:08. > :38:12.underground, if you want to add that adrenaline rush to history lessons,

:38:13. > :38:16.headed to Wales. I don't really like heights,

:38:17. > :38:19.but I joined a school party They are so vast and there

:38:20. > :38:23.are over 300 of them And you then zip wire

:38:24. > :38:27.through them at great speed, getting a history lesson

:38:28. > :38:30.of what it was like for the real They didn't have zip wires,

:38:31. > :38:33.just candle and a rope. The worst bit was the monkey

:38:34. > :38:35.bars taking you to Our hearts jumped when

:38:36. > :38:38.this lad slipped off. Of course, he was caught

:38:39. > :38:51.by his safety harness. He didn't mind, he thought it was

:38:52. > :38:55.great fun. People used to work in those minds? Yes, they were as young

:38:56. > :39:00.as six, on the cliff face, with a candle and a bit of rope. Eventually

:39:01. > :39:06.they shut down. It's nice to see the whole town has been revised by those

:39:07. > :39:14.caverns and the adventure side. Mine that used to work in the mines are

:39:15. > :39:16.leading people around. It's a great way to teach history.

:39:17. > :39:18.We've been hearing all week about the enormous

:39:19. > :39:22.Now health-bosses have warned sticking-plaster solutions won't be

:39:23. > :39:29.In South Wales, radical plans are being drawn up to change the way

:39:30. > :39:33.They include building an entire village around the principles

:39:34. > :39:35.of healthy living in the hope that this will ease the strain

:39:36. > :39:43.Our health correspondent in Wales Owain Clarke explains.

:39:44. > :39:47.After 76 years, you can forgive a building for not looking its best.

:39:48. > :39:50.But would you want to be cared for here?

:39:51. > :39:52.This part of Morriston Hospital, near Swansea, was built

:39:53. > :39:58.But few could have imagined then some of what goes on here now.

:39:59. > :39:59.There's more pressure going through that side

:40:00. > :40:03.Here, staff design and build equipment to help seriously injured

:40:04. > :40:10.So, the NHS can do more than ever before and the need for care

:40:11. > :40:12.from an ageing population is also greater than ever.

:40:13. > :40:19.It means hospitals like this one are often stretched to the very limit.

:40:20. > :40:21.One of the main challenges is how to reduce the numbers coming

:40:22. > :40:25.to hospitals like Morriston in the first place.

:40:26. > :40:27.On this industrial site, 50 miles to the west,

:40:28. > :40:30.there are plans to build an entire village with the aim

:40:31. > :40:33.It's going to create a completely new village,

:40:34. > :40:38.which the whole world will look at...

:40:39. > :40:40.Think of what's been planned as an entire community

:40:41. > :40:45.The school would be next door to parks and playing fields.

:40:46. > :40:47.Health checks could be available at the local leisure centre.

:40:48. > :40:49.And what's called the world's first wellness hotel could offer

:40:50. > :40:56.But for those who do need help, there will also be a rehabilitation

:40:57. > :41:01.centre, carer accommodation and specially designed housing.

:41:02. > :41:03.The NHS don't keep us healthy, that's the problem.

:41:04. > :41:07.The NHS come in when we are unhealthy.

:41:08. > :41:11.The whole idea is to put a lot more money into keeping people

:41:12. > :41:15.healthy and to educate, from young children right through,

:41:16. > :41:20.about how important it is to look after their health.

:41:21. > :41:22.You and I, we are responsible, in the first instance,

:41:23. > :41:27.We've got to change the culture, not only of the Health Service

:41:28. > :41:31.and the silos that we have in Wales, but of the community.

:41:32. > :41:33.Back in the early days, when these corridors would have been

:41:34. > :41:36.full of patients and staff, the Health Service's role

:41:37. > :41:38.was a relatively simple one - treating the sick.

:41:39. > :41:42.But if the NHS is to survive for the next 70 years,

:41:43. > :41:46.does it need to do more to keep us well in the first place?

:41:47. > :41:51.We're joined by three health care professionals who are already

:41:52. > :41:55.trialling similar approaches in England -

:41:56. > :41:56.occupational therapist Lucy Leonard, consultant Andrew Weatherburn

:41:57. > :42:07.Thank you for joining us. It's fair to say that you are all running

:42:08. > :42:10.projects to try and ease the pressure on the Health Service and

:42:11. > :42:17.social care system as a whole. Doctor Wedderburn, tell us a bit

:42:18. > :42:22.about the project you are involved in? We have identified across the

:42:23. > :42:27.locality, two or three years ago, that 3% of the local population were

:42:28. > :42:36.using almost 50% of the local health resources. That 3% is the older,

:42:37. > :42:39.frailer, adult group, with long-term conditions and lots of hospital

:42:40. > :42:43.admissions. We wanted to build a team around the patient, so the

:42:44. > :42:47.patient was the focus. Previously we had a lot of different silos looking

:42:48. > :42:53.after patients. What we wanted to do was lift the patient out from normal

:42:54. > :42:57.care structures and put a whole team around them to look after them. What

:42:58. > :43:00.I am thinking straightaway is that those people you are talking about

:43:01. > :43:07.might first have arrived in your practice, as a GP, with another

:43:08. > :43:11.condition, initially? That might be the progression to that point, where

:43:12. > :43:15.they are then occupying time and they needn't be later in the

:43:16. > :43:24.process? You are quite right. What we are doing in Fleetwood, we are

:43:25. > :43:28.focusing on wellness and trying to keep people well. The NHS is

:43:29. > :43:36.fantastic at managing illness, it is fantastic at looking at long-term

:43:37. > :43:40.health problems. But when we look at life expectancy in areas of

:43:41. > :43:46.deprivation, it is significantly lower than in more affluent areas.

:43:47. > :43:48.Why is that, when we are so good at treating illness? Actually, we need

:43:49. > :43:54.a different way in those poorer communities. People that live in

:43:55. > :43:59.poverty and on low income, they really have no hope. They have no

:44:00. > :44:03.hope that things are going to get any better for them. So, why should

:44:04. > :44:08.they stop smoking? Why should they drink less? Why should they take

:44:09. > :44:15.more exercise? Their life, to them, feels rubbish. What we need to do is

:44:16. > :44:18.to give people a real sense of purpose, to give people the ability

:44:19. > :44:24.to connect back into the community and take back control of their own

:44:25. > :44:30.lives. In order to do that, the absolute fundamental health of

:44:31. > :44:35.Fleetwood, it is to listen to our community, listen to the residence,

:44:36. > :44:38.what matters to you? What is important to you? Not what is the

:44:39. > :44:43.matter with you, what matters to you? When you listen, the stories

:44:44. > :44:49.that come out, people want to turn from having things done to them to

:44:50. > :44:52.actually becoming the doers. When they do, the health and social

:44:53. > :45:02.impact is phenomenal. To you have examples of what you

:45:03. > :45:08.have done when you listen to them? We had a Healthier Fleetwood meeting

:45:09. > :45:11.last Tuesday, there were some older residents in that group. One lady

:45:12. > :45:18.started talking about loneliness and isolation. Instantly, the caring

:45:19. > :45:23.profession thinks, OK, let's put somebody in, send somebody ran to a

:45:24. > :45:27.house, make her a cup of tea and talk to her. Actually, she did not

:45:28. > :45:31.want that. She wanted to do something. She wanted to connect

:45:32. > :45:36.with the community again. She told us about the skills that she had,

:45:37. > :45:41.cooking and baking. Watching wanted to do was teach children how to cook

:45:42. > :45:49.and bake, and that was giving her a sense of purpose and connecting her

:45:50. > :45:51.back into the community -- what she wanted to do.

:45:52. > :45:55.Lucy, you are in occupational therapist, what is the work you do?

:45:56. > :46:00.I am primarily an occupational therapist but I manage an integrated

:46:01. > :46:04.team of health professionals, so we have the neighbourhood team linked

:46:05. > :46:10.to two particular GP practices and we very much focus on the needs of

:46:11. > :46:15.the local population. Specifically what? What does an occupational

:46:16. > :46:18.therapist address, what is the health need? Occupational therapists

:46:19. > :46:24.will look at the impact of illness and disability on people's ability

:46:25. > :46:30.to participate in daily activities, my focus is on managing an

:46:31. > :46:34.integrated team at the moment. We have district nurses, care

:46:35. > :46:37.coordinators, a community matron and we provide something called enhanced

:46:38. > :46:41.primary care which is very much looking at the local population and

:46:42. > :46:46.what we need. In Cleveleys where I work we have a high percentage of

:46:47. > :46:51.older people, lots of people experiencing dementia. We recently

:46:52. > :46:58.held a dementia cafe where we put on an information sharing a bed for

:46:59. > :47:03.people with dementia and their carers, -- and information sharing

:47:04. > :47:07.event. We have lots of people who experience falls, so I

:47:08. > :47:11.physiotherapist and team have set up an exercise programme, an education

:47:12. > :47:15.programme to look at people's falls risk and reduce that risk. It is

:47:16. > :47:19.about making people well, that is a big thing on the agenda, preventing

:47:20. > :47:29.ditty reraise should be for it happens. -- preventing

:47:30. > :47:33.deterioration. It sounds expensive, Doctor Andrew?

:47:34. > :47:37.We have been shown lots of the ditch this week across your programmes,

:47:38. > :47:42.what we have been doing is not working. The NHS is under tremendous

:47:43. > :47:49.pressure. Under the Nhs Vanguard Scheme we have been developing ways

:47:50. > :47:53.of looking at people differently. They have physical needs but also

:47:54. > :47:57.mental health and social care needs. We need to team across the area

:47:58. > :48:02.where we are working, mine and Lucy's team work closely together,

:48:03. > :48:07.we need to coordinate the care for that patient. We are keen on the

:48:08. > :48:11.concept of patient activation, so patients being empowered to look

:48:12. > :48:16.after themselves, knowing what to do in a crisis and where to turn. We

:48:17. > :48:20.are keen on working on that. What research is showing is that if a

:48:21. > :48:27.patient is more activated they are less likely to have... To need

:48:28. > :48:32.access to other health services. Doctor Spencer, a GP is often the

:48:33. > :48:37.first point of call, you hear about limited time with the GP. You are

:48:38. > :48:41.talking about getting to know the person, knowing about their life as

:48:42. > :48:47.opposed to just what is wrong. Is that something you can address, you

:48:48. > :48:51.have a busy surgery? We have, often within a GP or nurse consultation

:48:52. > :48:55.people want to talk about their illnesses. We need to get out of our

:48:56. > :48:58.consulting rooms, going to the community and listen to communities

:48:59. > :49:02.about what matters to them and what keeps them well.

:49:03. > :49:06.It has been fascinating talking to you all, thank you for sharing your

:49:07. > :49:08.experiences. Good luck with all the projects.

:49:09. > :49:12.Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

:49:13. > :49:19.It is looking chilly. It is a bit chilly this morning. Good morning.

:49:20. > :49:22.If anything it will get even chillier this weekend as the wind

:49:23. > :49:25.picks up. Nothing untoward for this time of year, even this morning

:49:26. > :49:31.temperatures are not doing too badly. Adding to the wind is the

:49:32. > :49:35.lack of sunshine and it is not feel pleasant. You are waking up to snow

:49:36. > :49:38.this morning across parts of eastern Scotland and north-east England.

:49:39. > :49:42.Wintry showers through the night, they continue through the East of

:49:43. > :49:45.Scotland and North East England through the day. Further south

:49:46. > :49:52.across eastern England it will be a mixture of drizzle and some further

:49:53. > :49:56.sleet. The driest weather will be in the West. With the clouds breaking

:49:57. > :50:00.up at times that will allow some sunshine, the best of which will be

:50:01. > :50:03.a north-east Scotland, even if it is a bit chilly.

:50:04. > :50:09.Nothing untoward. North-east England, some breaks in the cloud,

:50:10. > :50:12.especially across Cumbria -- north-west England. Continuing with

:50:13. > :50:17.showers on the eastern side. A covering of snow for some, the

:50:18. > :50:21.further south you are, more likely to be rain and sleet. Pretty grey

:50:22. > :50:27.across parts of southern England, and misty.

:50:28. > :50:30.Some showers in the English Channel could drift to the south coast of

:50:31. > :50:34.Devon and the will, most will stay dry. In Wales, the best sunshine

:50:35. > :50:38.will be around Cardigan Bay. Some showers at the moment, most of them

:50:39. > :50:43.fading by the rest of the afternoon. Temperatures across the UK between

:50:44. > :50:45.around one and six Celsius at best, feeling cold with the strength of

:50:46. > :50:49.the wind. The wind picks up tonight, bringing

:50:50. > :50:54.more showers to eastern parts of the country to take this into the start

:50:55. > :50:57.of Saturday. Western areas, the clearest skies

:50:58. > :51:01.and coldest conditions. In the north-west Highlands of

:51:02. > :51:04.Scotland it could get as low as minus ten.

:51:05. > :51:08.We have a strong wind elsewhere across the country. It will be a

:51:09. > :51:13.cold start to the weekend, if you are out and about for any length of

:51:14. > :51:17.time, including heading to the Six Nations matches, wrap up well.

:51:18. > :51:20.Lots of Charlotte on Saturday, starting the mixture of sleet and

:51:21. > :51:26.snow. A good covering of snow in some areas. -- lots of showers on

:51:27. > :51:30.Saturday. The best of the driest and sunniest weather again in northern

:51:31. > :51:34.Scotland. That will be the case on Sunday, but by Sunday England and

:51:35. > :51:38.Wales have lots of cloud, there will be some or breaks, fewer showers but

:51:39. > :51:43.the wind a bit stronger, touching Dale -- gale force that time. There

:51:44. > :51:47.will be a bit of an extra bytes to get you to the second half of the

:51:48. > :51:51.weekend, it will feel much colder than the thermometers would suggest.

:51:52. > :51:56.Most places feeling subzero all day long on Sunday.

:51:57. > :52:00.This evening, if you cast your eyes to the skies in western areas with

:52:01. > :52:05.the clearest skies, not only will you see a full moon but it is the

:52:06. > :52:08.Snow Moon at this time of year. There was also a penumbral lunar

:52:09. > :52:13.eclipse, where the Moon passes into the outer side of the earth's

:52:14. > :52:17.shadow, which will darken a little bit in colour between around 10:30pm

:52:18. > :52:22.and 3M. Something to look out for, providing

:52:23. > :52:30.you get rid of the cloud. -- between around 10:30pm and 3am.

:52:31. > :52:36.Did you hear what he said about penumbral, the penumbral moon?

:52:37. > :52:42.Gubler penumbra lunar eclipse. I will give you a penumbra moon when I

:52:43. > :52:47.am in Wembley! They will be crying out for it. Thank you, mat. Snow

:52:48. > :52:52.moon is an easier way of saying that. Have you ever heard of that

:52:53. > :52:58.before? I have never heard of any moons apart from the one you do out

:52:59. > :53:04.of a window on the school bus. He is talking about a different kind of

:53:05. > :53:09.moon! One of those! There was my innocent mind being taken to a new

:53:10. > :53:15.place! Good morning, how are you? You are touring? Yes. Are you a bit

:53:16. > :53:23.weary? Slightly, I am halfway through a 55 day tour, when you book

:53:24. > :53:29.it in you like, it will be fine. I am a young, fit chap, I can do it. I

:53:30. > :53:34.am halfway through and I am... I think you will need a lie down. I

:53:35. > :53:38.might need a lie down, maybe a little hug. Kabasele will have a

:53:39. > :53:42.look at you on stage doing what you do.

:53:43. > :53:49.I'm talking to these ladies, Stu, and this guy comes up to me apropos

:53:50. > :53:59.Muggins has been recognised from the telly.

:54:00. > :54:08.This guy's like, "Mate, you look just like a fat Jack Whitehall."

:54:09. > :54:16.How did you respond to that?! I had to just sort of pretend that I just

:54:17. > :54:21.looked like a fat version of myself rather than accept the insult in

:54:22. > :54:24.front of loads of people. You're onstage persona, we saw a bit of it,

:54:25. > :54:30.I suppose all comedians, it is pretty high-energy. You are saying

:54:31. > :54:35.you feel a bit weary, you have to deliver a lot onstage, yours is

:54:36. > :54:39.quite a physical performance? I think I become quite theatrical the

:54:40. > :54:45.minute I step onto a stage, I can't help it. I always try to pair it

:54:46. > :54:48.down and keep a lid on it but I can't help myself. I am trying to

:54:49. > :54:55.picture you in the wings just before, are you pump to just before

:54:56. > :55:00.you go on? I can myself down, if I go on and I am too excited and I

:55:01. > :55:04.hear that crowd and I go out on stage and I have too much energy

:55:05. > :55:08.than I just garbled the first 15 minutes and power through everything

:55:09. > :55:13.and there will be no pauses and I ruined jokes. Because I am

:55:14. > :55:17.overexcited. So mine is a sense of calming myself down. Because you are

:55:18. > :55:23.touring, you go to so many cities, do you do much research about where

:55:24. > :55:29.you are doing each show? I do, and I like to sort of walk around the city

:55:30. > :55:37.and talk to people and people at the venue and try to get a little bit of

:55:38. > :55:40.local knowledge. On the first night, during the day something happened

:55:41. > :55:44.that I put in for the rest of the tour and I appropriated to wherever

:55:45. > :55:53.I am in. Which is I went on to a man, I was try to find lunch in

:55:54. > :55:56.Northampton and I said, is there a Pret A Manger? You said, I don't

:55:57. > :56:01.speak French. Now I say that in every city, but I have ruined the

:56:02. > :56:04.magic decks formation a few years ago you would have been relatively

:56:05. > :56:10.unknown walking around, but I guess because of the TV stuff and whatever

:56:11. > :56:17.you must get spotted straight up? Fat Jack Whitehall all the time.

:56:18. > :56:25.Especially when you leave London. In London, no one cares. A bitter, a

:56:26. > :56:29.bit. Obviously you have done a show with your dad, am I right in

:56:30. > :56:35.thinking he went to your first night and he was sat next to the reviewer?

:56:36. > :56:46.What happened? Mickaela lives in Northampton, they met on some show,

:56:47. > :56:50.so he came in with Nick Hewer, that was my front row. They are both

:56:51. > :56:55.scowling at me for the whole show. They did not laugh once. To make it

:56:56. > :56:58.worse that was a reviewer behind him, who in his review said everyone

:56:59. > :57:04.was laughing other than Michael Whitehall, who did not crack a smile

:57:05. > :57:09.for two hours. Insight does he find it funny? Lagarde someone turned to

:57:10. > :57:16.him and said did you enjoy that, it did not look like it? He said, I was

:57:17. > :57:20.inwardly laughing. I have no interest in inward laughers, they do

:57:21. > :57:24.nothing. That must be the nightmare for a comedian, no one laughing is

:57:25. > :57:31.the main nightmare? But people who don't react, you can't see them

:57:32. > :57:35.being emotive? I like them completely in darkness, that is the

:57:36. > :57:39.problem in those big venues, you can see all the audience and the lights

:57:40. > :57:44.off their eyes. That is where it gets scary. What about hecklers, I

:57:45. > :57:48.always panic for comedians when you are heckled. Do you like that

:57:49. > :57:52.because it gives you more to go on? The problem with hecklers is you

:57:53. > :57:56.only hear about the really amusing once, the reality is that the vast

:57:57. > :58:00.majority are completely incomprehensible or complete

:58:01. > :58:03.nonsense. People get a false sense that if you shout something and you

:58:04. > :58:07.will get a great reaction from the audience and everybody will be

:58:08. > :58:12.patting you on the back and you will leave the auditorium... Carried out?

:58:13. > :58:16.Exactly, but it is normally complete rubbish. I had a very posh hackle

:58:17. > :58:21.which could only have happened at one of my gigs, I was in Putney,

:58:22. > :58:31.again, this could only happen in my set, I made reference to turning on

:58:32. > :58:34.an Aga. A man at the back of the room shouted out, you can switch on

:58:35. > :58:37.an Aga, that is the point! Did you have a comeback? I just had to

:58:38. > :58:44.apologise to getting my Aga etiquette wrong. You take your tour

:58:45. > :58:50.internationally? Does Ireland count? Scotland? I thought you were going

:58:51. > :58:55.further afield? Ireland. Northern Ireland, I have never been there!

:58:56. > :58:59.That did not work well. Didn't you say you're going somewhere? I am

:59:00. > :59:04.doing a travel shall afterwards. I thought you were taking the show out

:59:05. > :59:16.there? I don't do any shows in Thailand. It is not out of the

:59:17. > :59:19.question? It is perfectly possible, I am going to Thailand. I am going

:59:20. > :59:22.to get some jabs in my arms for rabies and stuff. Not for the tour.

:59:23. > :59:26.I want to make that clear. That is a really fun way to warm up for a

:59:27. > :59:30.show. An armful of rabies. So tonight was much could be very good.

:59:31. > :59:33.I literally go straight from this to a travel clinic in Leeds. And

:59:34. > :59:44.Japanese encephalitis. How are you with the needle thing?

:59:45. > :59:49.Not great, and it makes your arm go dead. If it is floppy tonight, that

:59:50. > :59:51.is why. You have a lot of TV programmes you do.

:59:52. > :59:56.In the last episode of Bad Education, your character

:59:57. > :59:57.Alfie Wickers, decided to leave teaching.

:59:58. > :00:14.Why don't these tills come with a panic button?

:00:15. > :00:41.Do you prefer doing television or stage? I like being able to do both.

:00:42. > :00:44.I know that is a copout answer. I really miss doing stand-up, I hadn't

:00:45. > :00:49.done a show since 2014. I was desperate to do stand-up again and

:00:50. > :00:54.go back on the road. By day 55, if you asked me that question again, I

:00:55. > :00:58.will probably say TV, anything other than this. That the moment I love

:00:59. > :01:01.doing it and I love being on stage. Is there anything you haven't done

:01:02. > :01:06.that you would love to do? I'd love to do play, something in the West

:01:07. > :01:10.End. I think I would struggle with having to do the same script every

:01:11. > :01:15.night. Not being able to ad-lib, change it, do a bit of crowd work,

:01:16. > :01:20.talking to the guy in the front row, which is frowned upon in a serious

:01:21. > :01:24.play. Just break out of Macbeth and ask someone what his job is. That is

:01:25. > :01:28.why stand-up is so good. You can keep it refreshing. If you are bored

:01:29. > :01:34.of doing it, you get rid of it and do something else knew. I really

:01:35. > :01:37.like that. I hope your injections go all right today. Thanks very much!

:01:38. > :01:42.Will you really be thinking of him later?

:01:43. > :01:49.Not really. Can I get a lollipop, if I am brave? Thank you very much for

:01:50. > :01:53.coming in. Jack Whitehall, on tour with At Large until February.

:01:54. > :01:56.Space, the final frontier and one where there are fortunes to be made

:01:57. > :01:58.in everything from satellite technology to tourism.

:01:59. > :02:00.Over the next three years the Government is planning

:02:01. > :02:03.on investing millions in the UK's first spaceport, so is time to start

:02:04. > :02:07.Sean is at the National Space Centre.

:02:08. > :02:15.Good morning. Good morning. At the minute, we are looking at one of the

:02:16. > :02:19.big rockets that has been manufactured here in the UK in the

:02:20. > :02:23.past. It goes to show that, even though you might see the big

:02:24. > :02:31.take-offs on TV when it happens, the UK space industry, the 40,000 jobs,

:02:32. > :02:35.there was a lot more that goes into it. I am joined by Martin from the

:02:36. > :02:40.University of Leicester. When you look at something like this rocket

:02:41. > :02:44.as a example, how does it filter down into the economy? It's about

:02:45. > :02:48.having a supply chain, you need a lot of components to put this

:02:49. > :02:54.together. You will be bringing parts from all over the country, Bristol,

:02:55. > :02:59.Stevenage, hopefully Leicester. Parts of this were made in those

:03:00. > :03:04.places? Yes. These rocket engines were tested on the Isle of Wight the

:03:05. > :03:09.test stands still there today. It is about creating a supply chain that

:03:10. > :03:13.builds everything from the cradle to grave, satellite components. We have

:03:14. > :03:16.a fantastic opportunity the UK to develop new businesses around

:03:17. > :03:19.constellations of satellites, large numbers of satellites around the

:03:20. > :03:23.earth. That is what we are trying to develop in the Midlands and further

:03:24. > :03:30.afield. If we had our own Spaceport, that might help. Andy runs a

:03:31. > :03:34.business about space technologies. If this Spaceport that we heard

:03:35. > :03:38.about from the Government yesterday was built, what opportunities would

:03:39. > :03:42.that mean for small businesses like yourself? If we can create low-cost

:03:43. > :03:47.access to space from the UK, it opens up fantastic opportunities for

:03:48. > :03:50.the UK space industry. We can launch more satellites more cost

:03:51. > :03:55.effectively. That means more data coming to Earth that we can do more

:03:56. > :03:59.things with. How would that help people at home? We can use it in

:04:00. > :04:03.different markets, agriculture, tracking crop growth, insurance

:04:04. > :04:09.companies, tracking cars or vehicles, ships for instance. There

:04:10. > :04:14.is a very big market for tracking maritime ships. The big growth

:04:15. > :04:19.areas, in developing the data streams, and then exploiting them.

:04:20. > :04:23.Just before we go, to get into space there has been some talk that there

:04:24. > :04:28.might be some tourism, space tourism happening from the UK. If it went

:04:29. > :04:34.ahead, would you be first in the queue? I would be one of the people

:04:35. > :04:38.very keen to go. It's really amazing to see Tim Peake being that role

:04:39. > :04:44.model today. In our lifetimes, perhaps we will see human tourists

:04:45. > :04:49.going into space from the UK. It's important to see that might happen,

:04:50. > :04:53.for the industry? Something like this Spaceport has the potential to

:04:54. > :04:58.be a nice landmark, keeping people in the UK, making people realise you

:04:59. > :05:03.can be in the UK, having an industry job in the space industry, living

:05:04. > :05:06.and working in the UK. The stuff you were saying about sending Charlie

:05:07. > :05:11.into space, it could be happening at some point in our lifetimes. We can

:05:12. > :05:16.all hope! That wasn't me trying to get rid of Charlie! It's fine, I

:05:17. > :05:17.quite like that idea. Fantastic. Thank you for showing us round

:05:18. > :05:19.today. We'll be speaking to singer

:05:20. > :05:21.Una Healy from The Saturdays But first a last, brief

:05:22. > :05:25.look at the headlines For now though thanks for watching

:05:26. > :07:08.and have a good day. As part of one of the biggest girl

:07:09. > :07:12.bands of the last decade Una Healy conquered the charts

:07:13. > :07:14.with The Saturdays' giddy mix But now she's decided to go it alone

:07:15. > :07:19.and her first solo album returns We'll speak to Una in a moment

:07:20. > :07:24.but first let's have a listen # You hold my heart right

:07:25. > :07:37.in your hands # Even just for one more

:07:38. > :08:07.day, my love # You hold my heart

:08:08. > :08:47.right in your hands You got the car going, then? Yes, it

:08:48. > :08:52.wasn't me driving it, though. I was worried it was never going to go. We

:08:53. > :08:58.mentioned at the top that there is a distinctly... What is it, it is EU

:08:59. > :09:03.with the guitar, it is quite a simple sound? -- you with a guitar.

:09:04. > :09:07.That is one of the slowest songs. It is all original music, songs I have

:09:08. > :09:15.written myself and co-written. That is a ballad, but there are some more

:09:16. > :09:20.up-tempo, folk rock, a country vibe. I was surprised by that, with The

:09:21. > :09:26.Saturdays, I was expecting it to be more like pop music? It's sort of

:09:27. > :09:29.going back to my roots. Before the Saturdays, I was embarking on a

:09:30. > :09:33.singer-songwriter path. I was playing in pubs and clubs around

:09:34. > :09:38.Ireland, recording my own music. I had been writing since I was 12,

:09:39. > :09:46.playing the guitar. It was almost a transition from that, to go into a

:09:47. > :09:51.girl group, so it is full circle. Is it exciting, doing it on your own?

:09:52. > :09:55.Are you scared? It is scary, but brilliant at the same time. I'm so

:09:56. > :10:00.excited about it. It's a second chance to do the music I always

:10:01. > :10:04.really wanted to do. It is so different, it is so different. But

:10:05. > :10:07.I'm very excited. Country music often has a reputation of singing

:10:08. > :10:12.about very personal things. People often think of it like that, tails

:10:13. > :10:18.being told about lives, lifestyles. Are you comfortable writing about

:10:19. > :10:22.your own life like that? The whole album is all about my feelings, my

:10:23. > :10:30.emotions, my philosophies on life and the Waiting Game, that is about

:10:31. > :10:36.how you have to take the rough with the smooth, hard times and amazing

:10:37. > :10:40.times. My children, my husband, my friends and family inspire me so

:10:41. > :10:44.much. I write from the heart, it is all very relatable, people can put

:10:45. > :10:49.themselves in my shoes and learn some things for them self.

:10:50. > :10:53.Songwriters, they talk about hard times, and people go, what are they?

:10:54. > :11:02.There are hard times for everybody, that is just life. The industry, you

:11:03. > :11:14.have to travel a lot, work crazy hours. You're a mother, how does

:11:15. > :11:20.that work? I have great support from my husband, and people looking after

:11:21. > :11:29.the kids. It's different, for me, I have never do known anything else.

:11:30. > :11:34.I've managed to find a balance. Do you miss the camaraderie of having a

:11:35. > :11:38.band alongside you? It's quite unique, to have girl band, great

:11:39. > :11:43.success, travelling the world. Do you miss that camaraderie? I miss

:11:44. > :11:47.the girls, travelling. The fun that we had, and everything. But I'm not

:11:48. > :11:52.alone, I do have a band that I perform with, a live band. I am

:11:53. > :12:04.doing my first showcase gig in London. I have a live band with me

:12:05. > :12:10.and I have traded the girls in for a few lads. It's a bit different. Of

:12:11. > :12:18.course, I miss the girls all the time. This is your first solo album.

:12:19. > :12:28.Is the plan to do a number of them? I would love to. My dream is to do

:12:29. > :12:32.that tour, but I would love to tour with the album. You mentioned Ben

:12:33. > :12:38.Foden, your husband, he was an England rugby player. Does that

:12:39. > :12:42.cause tensions, given the Six Nations, England, Ireland? Very

:12:43. > :12:49.disappointing, being Irish, that we lost. But it is good banter at home.

:12:50. > :12:53.We have a lot of rugby banter. I suppose that gives you sympathy, the

:12:54. > :13:00.dedication you have to give to sport, like the music career, it

:13:01. > :13:08.takes you away? When I was pregnant, he was gone for ten weeks. He missed

:13:09. > :13:12.a quarter of my pregnancy. But he celebrated one of his tries when I

:13:13. > :13:17.was pregnant by doing this, which was really sweet. Lovely to see you

:13:18. > :13:22.Una Healy's album is called The Waiting Game.

:13:23. > :13:29.Now it's time for Food - Truth or Scare with Gloria
