:00:17. > :00:25.In a joint letter to the Sunday Times, they say it's

:01:40. > :01:45.morning. Rain, sleet and snow on the way for England today. A cold wind.

:01:46. > :01:52.If it is too cold for you at the moment, I have some good news for

:01:53. > :01:54.you in the forecast. Join me in 15 minutes. Thank you for that.

:01:55. > :01:58.Thousands of operations are being cancelled with highly-skilled

:01:59. > :02:01.surgeons left "kicking their heels" because of a shortage of hospital

:02:02. > :02:04.beds, according to the Royal College of Surgeons and the organisation

:02:05. > :02:08.In a joint letter to the Sunday Times, they argue that

:02:09. > :02:11.a lack of funding for health and social care in England

:02:12. > :02:14.is leading to what they call a "shocking waste" and damaging

:02:15. > :02:18.NHS England says only 1% of operations are cancelled.

:02:19. > :02:25.Our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes, has more.

:02:26. > :02:33.Over the past few weeks, the BBC to documentary series, Hospital, has

:02:34. > :02:38.demonstrated how a shortage of beds contributed to the pressure on the

:02:39. > :02:41.hills service. This can lead to long waits for those needing to be

:02:42. > :02:46.admitted to Accident and Emergency departments, but also, those needing

:02:47. > :02:51.plant surgery. I feel I spend as much energy on trying to organise

:02:52. > :02:55.and manage beds to the flow of patients within the hospital to

:02:56. > :03:01.allow us to do what we want to get on with, which is to operate. The

:03:02. > :03:06.programme showed how if beds are not available for patients to recover in

:03:07. > :03:11.safely, the operations simply cannot go ahead. Now the royal college of

:03:12. > :03:16.surgeons and the NHS body that represents NHS trusts says this is

:03:17. > :03:22.damaging efforts to improve productivity with surgeons left

:03:23. > :03:27.licking their heels. It is not good for the staff and it is not good for

:03:28. > :03:32.the patience and it is not good for the efficiency of the NHS. The

:03:33. > :03:37.latest figures from NHS England reveal more than 95% of beds were

:03:38. > :03:41.occupied last week, well above the 85% that is regarded as the safe

:03:42. > :03:47.limit. The problem is closely linked to delays in providing adequate care

:03:48. > :03:50.outside of hospital, especially for frail and elderly patients once they

:03:51. > :03:57.are ready to be discharged. Today, hospital managers and doctors say

:03:58. > :04:01.fixing the NHS means fixing social care, and it will be needed for the

:04:02. > :04:05.extraordinarily tough winter which is not over yet. Dominic Hughes, BBC

:04:06. > :04:06.News. NHS England say "The level

:04:07. > :04:09.of cancellations remains low at just 1% of the millions of operations

:04:10. > :04:12.performed in the NHS each year." The Speaker of the House of Commons,

:04:13. > :04:15.John Bercow has insisted that his impartiality has not been

:04:16. > :04:18.compromised after a video emerged showing him making political

:04:19. > :04:20.comments including saying that he voted Remain

:04:21. > :04:22.in the EU Referendum. The Sunday Telegraph is reported

:04:23. > :04:25.he made the remarks to students at Reading University,

:04:26. > :04:27.just three days before saying he would veto a parliamentary

:04:28. > :04:30.address by President Donald Trump. The UK Parliament website

:04:31. > :04:49.states that "speakers must This may not be popular with some

:04:50. > :04:52.people in this audience, personally, I voted to remain. I thought was

:04:53. > :04:59.better remain in the European Union than not, partly for economic

:05:00. > :05:05.reasons, part of being within a trading bloc, and because it is

:05:06. > :05:07.better to be part of a bigger power bloc in the world.

:05:08. > :05:10.An ally of the Speaker has said that the EU Referendum was an issue

:05:11. > :05:13.that divided political parties and that Mr Bercow was always

:05:14. > :05:14."scrupulously fair" when chairing debates.

:05:15. > :05:17.We'll get more on this story from our political correspondent,

:05:18. > :05:34.14 retired bishops have written an open letter criticising

:05:35. > :05:36.the church's stance on same-sex marriages.

:05:37. > :05:39.The Church of England last month said it did not support gay

:05:40. > :05:42.marriage, a position announced after three years of conversations

:05:43. > :05:44.with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Christians,

:05:45. > :05:46.who the bishops now claim have been betrayed.

:05:47. > :05:49.The decision will be debated at the General Synod on Wednesday,

:05:50. > :05:54.Last month, the Church of England decided its position on the divisive

:05:55. > :05:57.issue of sexuality. It has followed three years of so-called shared

:05:58. > :06:01.conversations, and stated that marriage should only be between a

:06:02. > :06:04.man and a woman. The church said all potential clergy, gay and straight,

:06:05. > :06:09.should be asked about their sexual conduct and their lifestyle. By 14

:06:10. > :06:15.retired bishops have today expressed their concern that the views of gay,

:06:16. > :06:19.lesbian, and bisexual members have been ignored. In an unusual move,

:06:20. > :06:25.they have written an open letter to the Church of England, led by the

:06:26. > :06:28.former Bishop of Worcester. They entered those negotiations knowing

:06:29. > :06:33.they would have to reveal themselves. In a sense, that might

:06:34. > :06:37.carry a price in terms of their life and their career, their ministry,

:06:38. > :06:42.what was offered to them, how they were regarded. In the nonetheless

:06:43. > :06:46.did that. And they feel that what has come out here is a betrayal in

:06:47. > :06:52.the specific sense that their voice is not heard. The Church of England

:06:53. > :06:56.said the shared conversations were not changing people's views, but

:06:57. > :07:02.recognising Jesus in people with whom the participants disagreed. The

:07:03. > :07:12.divisive debate over sexuality will continue, and the church's governing

:07:13. > :07:18.general synod will meet next week in London. BBC News.

:07:19. > :07:21.North Korea has fired a ballistic missile in the first such test

:07:22. > :07:23.since Donald Trump took office as US President.

:07:24. > :07:26.Speaking at a joint press conference during a visit to America

:07:27. > :07:29.by Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Ahbay Mr Trump assured him "America

:07:30. > :07:31.stands behind Japan, its great ally, 100%."

:07:32. > :07:34.With the latest, our reporter, Kevin Kim, is in Seoul

:07:35. > :07:40.A very good morning to you. Japanese officials have called this a clear

:07:41. > :07:44.provocation of Japan. What do we make of the timing with Shinzo Abe's

:07:45. > :07:47.visit? I believe most North Korea observers may think that the timing

:07:48. > :07:53.of the missile launch may not have been a coincidence, as North Korea

:07:54. > :07:57.often carries out such tests close to political events and

:07:58. > :08:01.anniversaries. What many North Korea observers are worried about is the

:08:02. > :08:06.direction President Trump's relations may be going with Kim

:08:07. > :08:10.Jong-un. North Korea has warned its nuclear programme and long-range

:08:11. > :08:14.nuclear capabilities being able to strike the United States will near

:08:15. > :08:19.completion. President Trump has made it clear that he will not let this

:08:20. > :08:24.happen. If Pyongyang begins to test the boundaries of Donald Trump's

:08:25. > :08:28.North Korea policies, the fear is that a miskicked elation of

:08:29. > :08:36.intentions may lead to escalation is, which could ultimately lead to

:08:37. > :08:43.real military complication. In times of difficulty is, President Trump,

:08:44. > :08:48.will he be able to take measured steps over emotional responses? That

:08:49. > :08:54.has been the conversation of the region. Interesting to talk to you

:08:55. > :09:02.about that. We will stay a cross that news.

:09:03. > :09:05.14 sailors have been rescued by a Royal Navy warship

:09:06. > :09:09.after their racing yacht was damaged in a storm in the Atlantic Ocean.

:09:10. > :09:11.HMS Dragon, the Navy's Type II Destroyer, diverted 500 miles

:09:12. > :09:14.to save 13 Britons and one American on Saturday afternoon.

:09:15. > :09:17.The sailors only suffered minor injuries but their 60-foot yacht

:09:18. > :09:19.lost its mast and rudder in the bad weather.

:09:20. > :09:22.More than 200 pilot whales that were stranded on a beach

:09:23. > :09:25.in New Zealand have re-floated themselves and swum away.

:09:26. > :09:28.Another 17 were returned to the sea by teams of volunteers.

:09:29. > :09:30.About 350 whales died in two days at the beach

:09:31. > :09:35.Homophobic abuse in sport should result in immediate action,

:09:36. > :09:37.including lengthy stadium bans, say MPs in a new report.

:09:38. > :09:40.The Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee says football clubs

:09:41. > :09:43.in particular are not doing enough, and should be taking

:09:44. > :10:03.This is the kind of homophobic chants in a group of MPs say is

:10:04. > :10:07.allowed to pass unchallenged to Waffen SS. A report published by the

:10:08. > :10:11.Culture, Media, and Sport Select Committee finds that attitudes

:10:12. > :10:16.towards gay people in sport are out of step with the rest of society.

:10:17. > :10:20.Particular attention is given to football. The rhino openly gay

:10:21. > :10:26.players in British football league is. . -- there are no. Winning to

:10:27. > :10:31.train people to listen out for homophobic behaviour and to ban

:10:32. > :10:36.people from engaging in homophobic abuse. But we also have evidence to

:10:37. > :10:42.suggest that clubs need to look into themselves as well. That sometimes

:10:43. > :10:49.dressing rooms can have this language. The Football Association

:10:50. > :10:52.say they welcome this report and tackling this is one of their

:10:53. > :11:02.priority is. Criticism is not limited to football. The MPs said

:11:03. > :11:09.they were upset by the presence of Tyson Fury on sportsperson of the

:11:10. > :11:12.year in 2016. He said it was based on his sporting achievements had

:11:13. > :11:16.made it clear it was not an endorsement of his personal views.

:11:17. > :11:27.It is not all bad news. The report praises the two-year bans on those

:11:28. > :11:31.who through slander at this referee last year. BBC News.

:11:32. > :11:35.A dash cam has captured the moment 90 mile per hour winds caused

:11:36. > :11:38.a truck to blow over onto a highway patrol car in Wyoming.

:11:39. > :11:42.The troopers were responding to another traffic

:11:43. > :11:44.related incident when the truck tipped over, but luckily

:11:45. > :11:55.Ouch! The two passengers aboard were also unharmed. Incredible pictures.

:11:56. > :11:57.And that is just the strength of the wind doing that. You can see it.

:11:58. > :12:13.Terrifying. San Francisco was a sea of floats,

:12:14. > :12:16.costumes, lion dancers and marching bands last night as the city's

:12:17. > :12:19.Chinese New Year parade took place. The city has been holding the annual

:12:20. > :12:22.event since the 1860s, both to mark the start

:12:23. > :12:25.of the Lunar New Year and to celebrate

:12:26. > :12:26.tradition and culture. Among the highlights was a 268-feet

:12:27. > :12:29.Golden Dragon that needed a team of more than 100 people to carry

:12:30. > :12:36.it through the city. Isn't that beautiful? I am lucky

:12:37. > :12:39.enough to say I have been there to that event. Amazing. It is beautiful

:12:40. > :12:42.and really spectacular. 100 people carrying that dragon? Gorgeous! How

:12:43. > :12:48.do they stay co-ordinated? Good question. Let us look at the front

:12:49. > :12:54.pages this Sunday morning. The Observer. A picture on all of the

:12:55. > :12:59.papers. England's victory over Wales in Cardiff yesterday. The headline,

:13:00. > :13:07.a story we discussed earlier. A church faces new split over

:13:08. > :13:18.attitudes to gay relationships. They will discuss it soon as there is

:13:19. > :13:25.controversy over that controversy. Donald Trump and the state visit to

:13:26. > :13:28.the UK. They are suggesting that Donald Trump will actually not speak

:13:29. > :13:35.to Parliament and will, in their quote, speak to the people in a

:13:36. > :13:43.stadium rally at his UK visit with profits going to an appeal. The same

:13:44. > :13:49.story we are discussing this morning. John Bercow. He went to a

:13:50. > :13:53.university earlier and stated publicly that he voted remain and

:13:54. > :13:58.that immigration was good news for the UK. Once again, that picture of

:13:59. > :14:03.yesterday's rugby in Cardiff. The front page of the Sunday Times is

:14:04. > :14:07.interesting. A fantastic picture yesterday, though, maybe not if you

:14:08. > :14:14.are Welsh to be heartbreaking for them. The main story is the Labour

:14:15. > :14:19.search. They are looking for secret succession planning. We had Jeremy

:14:20. > :14:23.Corbyn on the sofa a few days ago saying there are no plans for him to

:14:24. > :14:27.stand down. He is not looking ahead to a future of not being Labour

:14:28. > :14:32.Party leader. But this leaked report shows that the Labour Party will

:14:33. > :14:38.potentially be facing a disaster in the polls should there be an

:14:39. > :14:46.election. A quick look at The Sunday Mirror with entirely different news

:14:47. > :14:52.from last week. Tara who passed away last Wednesday. She spoke to friends

:14:53. > :14:57.earlier predicting her death. Much more on the papers coming up in the

:14:58. > :14:59.programme. Great stories from inside the papers later on. Exactly.

:15:00. > :15:05.Lattimore to come. You're watching

:15:06. > :15:07.Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:15:08. > :15:09.Surgeons and hospital trusts say thousands of operations are being

:15:10. > :15:17.cancelled because of a shortage Commons Speaker John Bercow insists

:15:18. > :15:19.his impartiality has not been affected after he revealed he had

:15:20. > :15:21.voted Remain in the EU referendum. More than 200 stranded

:15:22. > :15:26.whales in New Zealand We'll find out about the race

:15:27. > :15:31.against time to get the rest back Here's Matt with a look

:15:32. > :15:43.at this morning's weather. Earlier on I had a little look at a

:15:44. > :15:48.weather forecast, just about half an hour ago, and saw lots of little

:15:49. > :15:55.snowflakes? There are few snowflakes once again.

:15:56. > :16:00.Not quite lots. Not quite snowman building weather on but there will

:16:01. > :16:03.be quite a bit of snow around today. Yesterday it was one of those days

:16:04. > :16:10.where I could have stayed indoors. You might want to do the same today.

:16:11. > :16:13.The winds are stronger. The raw wind blowing in Scotland, northern

:16:14. > :16:18.England, Wales and the Midlands in particular and a mixture of rain and

:16:19. > :16:23.snow. Much like yesterday. At the moment most of it is rain. You can

:16:24. > :16:27.see on the charts it is in northern England, the Midlands, the

:16:28. > :16:31.south-east and east Anglia, but there is snow mixing in with that

:16:32. > :16:35.rain across parts of east Anglia. That will drift northwards into the

:16:36. > :16:39.east Midlands. Snow mainly confined to the hills, but some at lower

:16:40. > :16:43.levels. That will push towards the peak District and Pennines later.

:16:44. > :16:47.Elsewhere it is hit and miss rain, sleet and snow. The Windies chilli

:16:48. > :16:54.and will get stronger through the day. The breezy northern parts of

:16:55. > :16:58.Wales. -- wind is chilli. Not as wet in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

:16:59. > :17:02.Many starting dry. In the west of Northern Ireland and across northern

:17:03. > :17:06.parts of Scotland this is where we will have a bit of sunshine at

:17:07. > :17:10.times. There will be something brighter in the south-east of the

:17:11. > :17:15.country. Elsewhere lots of cloud. The snow becomes more of a feature

:17:16. > :17:22.in the Pennines. It is here there will be a few centimetres of snow

:17:23. > :17:26.falling giving a covering in places. Either side of the country should

:17:27. > :17:31.stay largely dry. We finish with wintry weather in a central swathe

:17:32. > :17:35.of the country, but tonight we have less cold air pushing up from the

:17:36. > :17:41.south. That will push towards the south-west of the country in

:17:42. > :17:46.particular. Elsewhere, much as it was last night. Maybe a frost in

:17:47. > :17:51.north-west Scotland to start Monday. Monday by and large a dry day. Misty

:17:52. > :17:54.over the hills in the north, though the rain and drizzle in east of

:17:55. > :18:01.Scotland. James Gray in the east of England. -- staying grey. Still a

:18:02. > :18:05.windy day, with gusty winds in west Wales and south-west England.

:18:06. > :18:08.Temperatures could hit double figures. Still cold elsewhere.

:18:09. > :18:15.Temperatures on the rise for the rest of the week. I think your job

:18:16. > :18:19.is safe! I got it spectacularly wrong.

:18:20. > :18:23.But there will be snow and there could be some snowman is.

:18:24. > :18:24.Not completely wrong. Thank you. Double figures in

:18:25. > :18:27.Plymouth? By moving to Plymouth! We'll be back with a summary

:18:28. > :18:30.of today's news at 6:30am. Now it's time for Film Review

:18:31. > :18:46.with Mark Kermode and Jane Hill. Hello and welcome to

:18:47. > :18:50.The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's

:18:51. > :18:56.cinema releases is Mark Kermode. We have the 20th Century Women,

:18:57. > :19:07.a new film starring Annette Bening. We have the Lego Batman movie,

:19:08. > :19:10.which pretty much does what it says And Fences, a major

:19:11. > :19:16.awards contender. Let's start with 20th

:19:17. > :19:21.Century Womenm, the latest It's an interesting film,

:19:22. > :19:27.set in California at the end A young boy facing an uncertain

:19:28. > :19:33.adulthood, surrounded by strong women of different ages,

:19:34. > :19:35.who both inspire and also not least his free-spirited mother,

:19:36. > :19:38.brilliantly played by Annette Thinking that you know

:19:39. > :19:49.everything that's going on. No, I just think that, you know,

:19:50. > :19:52.having your heart broken is a tremendous way

:19:53. > :20:00.to learn about the world. ..as happy as you thought you'd be

:20:01. > :20:13.when you were my age? You don't ask people

:20:14. > :20:17.questions like that. Wondering if you're happy is a great

:20:18. > :20:28.short cut to just being depressed. And I'm afraid I

:20:29. > :20:38.haven't seen it yet. It has these natural performances,

:20:39. > :20:47.partly because they had time to rehearse and get

:20:48. > :20:49.to know the characters. Secondly, these are characters

:20:50. > :20:52.you want to spend time You want to know how

:20:53. > :20:59.their lives work out. The film has texture,

:21:00. > :21:05.you feel like at any point the camera could go out of the car,

:21:06. > :21:09.out of the house and into the street and the world would be

:21:10. > :21:11.complete around it. It evokes a world which

:21:12. > :21:14.is in many ways lost. It's back to time which now seems

:21:15. > :21:19.so distant, and yet the issues it It's not plot driven,

:21:20. > :21:23.it's absolutely to do with moments, The narrative flips back and forth

:21:24. > :21:29.in time to some extent. When I first started watching it,

:21:30. > :21:35.I knew nothing of what to expect, But I was drawn into their world,

:21:36. > :21:41.into their characters. I really loved it, I can't

:21:42. > :21:44.wait to see it again, But is it going to be disparagingly

:21:45. > :21:49.called a women's film? I don't even know

:21:50. > :21:55.what that phrase means. In the past it was a term

:21:56. > :21:59.that was used for popular movies. Because it used to be that females

:22:00. > :22:03.audiences were the majority. So when people spoke about women's

:22:06. > :22:07.successful and a blockbuster. Believe me, anybody could see

:22:08. > :22:12.20th-Century Women and get something Weirdly, the same is true

:22:13. > :22:16.of the Lego Batman movie. It sounded like a stupid idea but it

:22:17. > :22:26.turned out to be very I'm in my 50s and I laughed

:22:27. > :22:33.all the way through. So this is now Lego

:22:34. > :22:36.Batman is a spin-off. It is about Lego Batman,

:22:37. > :22:38.a complete narcissist, completely tied up in himself,

:22:39. > :22:41.and through the movie he has to learn to have relationships

:22:42. > :22:43.with people - with Robin, his butler, and The Joker,

:22:44. > :22:48.who is desperate for him to admit that he is a special villain,

:22:49. > :22:51.that they have a special And what is great about this movie,

:22:52. > :22:56.the visuals are terrific, I kept wanting to hold

:22:57. > :23:00.the frame and say, stop! There are so many jokes in this one

:23:01. > :23:04.frame, they're going by too fast, I can't keep up with

:23:05. > :23:08.the speed of these jokes! It's smart, it is cine

:23:09. > :23:11.literate, for all There's loads of exciting stuff

:23:12. > :23:16.happening on the screen. For older viewers, there are jokes

:23:17. > :23:18.about the '60s Batman Believe me, first you need

:23:19. > :23:22.to see The Lego Movie, because that is

:23:23. > :23:24.terrific and better than this. The Lego Batman movie is very

:23:25. > :23:29.surprisingly tiptop stuff Well, I'm already feeling

:23:30. > :23:33.overwhelmed by those two. I haven't seen the film,

:23:34. > :23:39.but I've seen the play, on which it's based,

:23:40. > :23:43.so I'm interested. Well, I have seen the film

:23:44. > :23:46.and I feel like I want An adaptation of

:23:47. > :23:51.a play from the '50s. Denzel Washington stars

:23:52. > :23:53.in and directs it. He works in the sanitation

:23:54. > :24:00.department and he brings home his frustrations

:24:01. > :24:02.from his work, from his life. They all come out in

:24:03. > :24:04.the home encounters. The film has got four Oscar

:24:05. > :24:06.nominations, including Best Supporting Actress

:24:07. > :24:08.and here's why. You're not listening to me,

:24:09. > :24:12.I'm trying to explain it It's not easy for me to admit that

:24:13. > :24:19.I've been standing in the same place I've given 18 years of my life

:24:20. > :24:31.to standing in the same spot as you. Don't you think I've ever

:24:32. > :24:33.wanted other things? Don't you think I had

:24:34. > :24:35.dreams and hopes? And that scene is so

:24:36. > :24:46.powerful in the play. The only problem is this -

:24:47. > :24:51.that the film feels very stagey. There are plays that have been

:24:52. > :24:54.adapted for the screen that start What this feels like is something

:24:55. > :24:59.that has taken the stage play Obviously there are slight

:25:00. > :25:05.differences, but it never felt It felt like really great writing,

:25:06. > :25:09.very relevant issues, terrific committed performances that

:25:10. > :25:12.you could absolutely get behind. But it never took flight

:25:13. > :25:18.as a piece of film-making. For me, that's a problem,

:25:19. > :25:22.because if you're going take a stage play away from the stage and put it

:25:23. > :25:25.somewhere else, you have to do You really feel you wish

:25:26. > :25:29.you were seeing it live on stage, because particularly

:25:30. > :25:31.with the larger speeches, a theatrical production, as opposed

:25:32. > :25:37.to a cinematic production. Because the screenplay was written

:25:38. > :25:40.by August Wilson before he died, I guess it's a different

:25:41. > :25:45.writing for the screen, And it's a different thing directing

:25:46. > :25:53.that work for the screen. I always thought the classic screen

:25:54. > :25:56.adaptation of plays, they understand the language

:25:57. > :25:59.of cinema first and foremost. This is clearly a huge

:26:00. > :26:02.reverence for the stage play, I just don't think it's

:26:03. > :26:08.as cinematic as it needs to be. Despite the fact that it's great

:26:09. > :26:11.writing, really solid performances and great individual moments,

:26:12. > :26:14.but as a piece of cinema it Coming up to the Baftas on Sunday,

:26:15. > :26:18.it's something that might win awards generally for the acting,

:26:19. > :26:21.rather than anything else? My feeling is that that's

:26:22. > :26:23.where its heart resides. The best thing out in the cinemas

:26:24. > :26:31.at the moment is Toni Erdman. It's terrific, it sounds

:26:32. > :26:40.so unlikely, a three-hour German black comedy, a standout performance

:26:41. > :26:48.about father, daughter estrangement. A father turns up at his daughter's

:26:49. > :26:52.place of work pretending to be a life coach, and she

:26:53. > :26:57.cannot get rid of him. It is really edgy and really

:26:58. > :27:00.funny and really painful It is about to be remade

:27:01. > :27:03.starring Jack Nicholson. It's perfect as it is,

:27:04. > :27:09.leave it alone! I have seen the trailer and

:27:10. > :27:17.the trailer itself is interminable. I am somebody who believes

:27:18. > :27:30.in cutting to the bone, less is more, but in the case

:27:31. > :27:33.of Toni Erdman, there's nothing I know loads of people who have seen

:27:34. > :27:47.the trailer and not been put off it. OK, only because you have told me.

:27:48. > :27:52.Tell us about the DVD. It's a story about a young doctor

:27:53. > :27:57.who fails to open the door to a potential patient

:27:58. > :27:59.who is then found dead. The doctor then has a crisis

:28:00. > :28:04.of conscience and tries to find out It was a film which,

:28:05. > :28:08.when it was in the cinemas, The great thing about DVDs,

:28:09. > :28:11.you can reassess things that was perhaps

:28:12. > :28:13.overlooked the first time. It is a better film

:28:14. > :28:16.than critics gave it credit It is a thriller, but it

:28:17. > :28:20.has a humanist heart I don't know it, so that's

:28:21. > :28:23.a good recommendation. you can find more film news

:28:24. > :28:33.and reviews from across the BBC it's going to be very

:34:16. > :34:20.A really gorgeous thing to see. Look at that. That takes quite a bit of

:34:21. > :34:25.co-ordination and practice, I would imagine. And speaking of that,

:34:26. > :34:31.England certainly got it right yesterday, Richard. They did. Good

:34:32. > :34:39.morning. I think Wales were on top for a lot of that game. They were

:34:40. > :34:48.leading them on. They used all that get out of free gel cards. 16 wins

:34:49. > :34:50.in a row for England. Eddie Jones's side were less than five minutes

:34:51. > :34:54.from defeat against Wales. That was until Elliot Daly got

:34:55. > :34:57.a late winning score. Yesterday's other game

:34:58. > :34:59.was a rather different story. Ireland scoring nine tries

:35:00. > :35:01.against Italy in a 63-10 Our correspondent,

:35:02. > :35:14.Joe Wilson, reports. Cardiff, the roof open and the heat

:35:15. > :35:18.on. This game would stretch every emotion. With all the modern

:35:19. > :35:25.scientific preparation, rugby still often comes down to brute strength

:35:26. > :35:28.and determination. Ben with the first try. With half-time

:35:29. > :35:35.approaching, perfect timing. He has scored! Now, is that what you came

:35:36. > :35:46.for? The second half, England waiting to pounce. But no!

:35:47. > :35:54.Intercepted. Dan! A kick, a chase, a race. Breathless Daley the defender.

:35:55. > :35:58.But Wales was still ahead. Four minutes to play and England had the

:35:59. > :36:05.ball. They had to run. They had to find space. Elliot, the last-ditch

:36:06. > :36:10.defender, now the fine finisher. Again, somehow snatching the game

:36:11. > :36:16.21- 16. Unbelievable. I love the belief in the team. I think that is

:36:17. > :36:20.what is exciting about hopefully what is to come, you know? It is not

:36:21. > :36:25.the finished article. Hopefully we get better and better. England's

:36:26. > :36:33.remarkable winning run continues. And to win here with a win like that

:36:34. > :36:38.must feel significant. Well, after a first week defeat, Ireland dared not

:36:39. > :36:44.lose again. Rome, the perfect place for a break. A hat-trick against

:36:45. > :36:49.Italy, including this fourth try before half-time. A bonus point

:36:50. > :36:55.Craig Gilroy got three tries in 11 minutes, 63- ten. Never mind these

:37:08. > :37:09.they face this year will be desperate for a win

:37:10. > :37:14.after their defeat to England in their opening match.

:37:15. > :37:24.It will be hurting from the weekend. We know how tough it is going to be.

:37:25. > :37:32.Having all those boys coming at me, it is part of the support. We know

:37:33. > :37:36.what job we are going to have to do. We are ready for the game, I think,

:37:37. > :37:37.though we don't know what the result will be.

:37:38. > :37:40.England made it two wins from two in the women's Six Nations.

:37:41. > :37:43.They scored 11 tries as they thrashed Wales 63-0

:38:46. > :38:52.This, all this being nervous, and all that stuff around. It could have

:38:53. > :38:58.happened is that we don't score in the first situation. But they were

:38:59. > :39:02.really positive. The crowd was fantastic. It was a real joy to play

:39:03. > :39:04.here tonight. It was a wonderful, wonderful sign for the whole

:39:05. > :39:07.Liverpool family. Arsenal, meanwhile, are now level

:39:08. > :39:10.on points with Spurs in second after a controversial

:39:11. > :39:12.win over Hull City. They took the lead through

:39:13. > :39:15.Alexis Sanchez before half time but replays show the ball

:39:16. > :39:17.going in off his hand. The goal stood and he then added

:39:18. > :39:31.a late penalty to make it 2-0 We played resilient and focused and

:39:32. > :39:35.organised, but a little bit behind because we were under big pressure

:39:36. > :39:40.to win the game. They played well. We need to be focused until the end

:39:41. > :39:48.to get away with a positive result. You could see why we have made

:42:19. > :42:25.I was just thinking, is there any way we can fix it so that we have a

:42:26. > :42:29.home tie? Because I know as part of the team, two times previously, when

:42:30. > :42:33.we were able to get out of this group but we never got that home

:42:34. > :42:40.tie, so I am desperate to get this. Hopefully that, you know, the draw

:44:20. > :44:25.gay, bisexual, and transgender fan club joins us now.

:44:26. > :44:31.It is nice to see you. Welcome to the programme. Good morning. I

:44:32. > :44:38.imagine you welcome this proposal. Proposals to get tougher on fans who

:44:39. > :44:42.shout homophobic abuse. I am interested in how bad a problem it

:44:43. > :44:47.is. We have seen a lot of problems with racism. Of similar proportions.

:44:48. > :44:52.I am mixed race and welcome the fact that action has been taken over many

:44:53. > :44:56.decades in football and other sports. Homophobia in football is a

:44:57. > :45:03.very serious issue in football today. It is telling that there

:45:04. > :45:11.hasn't been a key out player in decades. We need to work with groups

:45:12. > :45:18.to make sure what we are doing is not just about sticks but also

:45:19. > :45:26.carrots and support. how challenging this is the police? As challenging

:45:27. > :45:30.as racism. It is very sad that the ground regulations have been in

:45:31. > :45:34.place for many years and are the a few clubs, like Liverpool, have

:45:35. > :45:39.implemented those relations to treat homophobia as seriously as racism.

:45:40. > :45:45.What has to come first? You touched on the fact that there are so few

:45:46. > :45:56.rational footballers, in fact none at the moment, how does that change

:45:57. > :45:59.the perception of the game? -- few homosexual. I think there's a very

:46:00. > :46:04.mixed picture across football. You've got a lot of clubs like

:46:05. > :46:11.Liverpool and even Arsenal and Verse and Chelsea supporting the forming

:46:12. > :46:18.of LGBT fan groups and taking a stand against homophobia, taking

:46:19. > :46:23.part in the rainbow laces events and so forth, which is fantastic because

:46:24. > :46:27.it sends a clear signal that this sort of behaviour needs to be wiped

:46:28. > :46:32.out. It is important for the clubs to lead the way? They've got their

:46:33. > :46:37.role to play, but it should be a much broader based, definitive

:46:38. > :46:42.position and the enforcement of the ground regulations is long overdue

:46:43. > :46:46.and Dick that the MPs are waking up to this. -- fantastic. They should

:46:47. > :46:51.have been dealing with this years ago. I know there are a number of

:46:52. > :46:56.ongoing investigations into homophobic abuse in foot or grounds,

:46:57. > :47:02.but how do you work out how it started, who is responsible and

:47:03. > :47:07.enforce it? It is the responsibility of each club. There are stewards on

:47:08. > :47:11.the game. They have to be the eyes and ears of what's going on.

:47:12. > :47:15.Equally, fans have a responsibility and most fans don't want to hear

:47:16. > :47:23.this kind of abuse. They can report it with apps like the Kick It Out

:47:24. > :47:26.app. There can be self policing as well, can't bear? I've been in

:47:27. > :47:36.football grounds weather has been terrible abuse. Someone else. Then

:47:37. > :47:40.and say, why it. Spot on. The best policing comes from the fan groups

:47:41. > :47:43.themselves. The vast majority of Liverpool fans that I go to matches

:47:44. > :47:48.with have been fantastic. They've been very welcoming and supportive.

:47:49. > :47:54.We had about 500 pairs of rainbow laces last year and they were taken

:47:55. > :47:59.from fans from all communities. Is the response consistent? I imagine

:48:00. > :48:03.consistency is key. It isn't and that's the problem. Some clubs have

:48:04. > :48:08.been very progressive in making sure they take action and other clubs do

:48:09. > :48:13.not... It does not feel as if they've been consistent. Equally,

:48:14. > :48:16.there have been harsh sanctions applied against racism and there

:48:17. > :48:20.hasn't always been the same level applied in the same way and we need

:48:21. > :48:24.to progress with education and work with different families and make

:48:25. > :48:31.sure the fans realise the impact of their behaviour. You're stopping

:48:32. > :48:36.potentially locking out players from focusing on other things, things

:48:37. > :48:39.other than football, if you give them an atmosphere where they can

:48:40. > :48:43.feel confident about who they are. Then their football will only be

:48:44. > :48:46.better. I'm afraid we have run out of time. Thank you so much for

:48:47. > :48:51.coming on. Let's check-in on what the weather

:48:52. > :48:56.is doing. It is looking a bit wet, wild and

:48:57. > :49:04.snow in some parts of the country? Yes, quite a raw day outside today.

:49:05. > :49:08.The stronger wind than yesterday, making it feel chilly, and there

:49:09. > :49:13.will be a mixture of rain and snow around. Some of it is giving us a

:49:14. > :49:16.coating of snow in east Anglia. As you can see it is not snow

:49:17. > :49:20.everywhere and there is rain mixed in, but as it drifts northwards

:49:21. > :49:24.through the Midlands and parts of the north-east of England we will

:49:25. > :49:28.see a bit more snow here and there. Not a huge amount and not hugely

:49:29. > :49:33.disruptive. Snow to higher ground. South of that, not as much rain,

:49:34. > :49:39.sleet and snow in southern counties. A bit more brightness. Pretty gusty

:49:40. > :49:42.winds towards the north and west and stronger winds across northern

:49:43. > :49:48.England this morning, bringing in the mixture of rain, sleet and snow.

:49:49. > :49:52.Mainly dry for Northern Ireland. Northern Scotland has sunshine

:49:53. > :49:57.around, but a frost to start Monday. The wind is stronger than yesterday,

:49:58. > :50:01.which will blow some of the snow around the tops of the Pennines, the

:50:02. > :50:06.peak district, the north York Moors in the afternoon. Away from that

:50:07. > :50:09.there will be some sleet and snow in the north of Wales, but not as many

:50:10. > :50:14.shower was as yesterday for England and Wales. Largely dry. Against

:50:15. > :50:19.Northern Ireland. The sunniest in northern Scotland. Feeling very cold

:50:20. > :50:26.in the wind. Something milder in a few days to come. It clears away

:50:27. > :50:31.some of the snow from the hills of England, turning it to mist and fog,

:50:32. > :50:34.and introducing clearer skies. Temperatures may have risen by the

:50:35. > :50:40.end of the night in parts of England. Further north, a chilly

:50:41. > :50:43.start the Monday. Pity grey and misty to begin with in north-east

:50:44. > :50:49.England, eastern Scotland. -- Ricky Gray. To the south and west of the

:50:50. > :50:54.country we will have much more sunshine around, but some pretty

:50:55. > :50:57.strong winds. Rather dusty as well in western Wales and the south-west

:50:58. > :51:00.of England, but note the temperatures. We will see more

:51:01. > :51:07.temperatures like that through the week. How about this? This was in

:51:08. > :51:13.Boston on Thursday! Huge amounts of snow. Believe it or not they are

:51:14. > :51:18.about to get another dose through today. We could get as much as 30-

:51:19. > :51:27.50 centimetres of snow for before Sunday is through! That's proper

:51:28. > :51:29.weather! Thanks very much. It is how you deal with that snow that's the

:51:30. > :51:43.key. Stay at home! Turning our attention to a story we

:51:44. > :51:44.have been following on Exist. -- Reckless.

:51:45. > :51:47.Whale lovers in New Zealand finally got some good news over night

:51:48. > :51:50.after more than 200 stranded pilot whales managed to refloat

:51:51. > :51:53.Conservationists working on the beach say hundreds of whales

:51:54. > :51:57.have died along Farewell Spit over the past few days and the cause

:51:58. > :52:01.Lucy Babey from Orca, a UK charity looking out for whales,

:52:02. > :52:14.At last some good news? It is good to see that some of the whales have

:52:15. > :52:18.gotten back out on a high tide. There is the risk that they could

:52:19. > :52:21.come back in, or others may, so it is important that people are alert.

:52:22. > :52:27.Picking up on something you said, get themselves out, is this how it

:52:28. > :52:31.works? We seen people making their best efforts to encourage them to go

:52:32. > :52:36.back out, but is it something they have to do themselves? These animals

:52:37. > :52:41.do come into sure, at what happened at the moment is it is on a spring

:52:42. > :52:46.tide in Farewell Spit, rich means you have a very high high tide, so

:52:47. > :52:54.they come in further, and with the low tide it receives further, so it

:52:55. > :53:01.happens quickly and the animals are left stranded. Talk us through this

:53:02. > :53:06.part of the world and the geography which makes this quite common.

:53:07. > :53:13.Farewell Spit is notorious for whales strandings. It has very

:53:14. > :53:16.gently sloping sandy beaches. Whales use it something like echolocation,

:53:17. > :53:21.similar to what that's used to navigate around, but they need to be

:53:22. > :53:25.able to navigate around and have something for it to bounce back

:53:26. > :53:29.from. The small slopes makes them think they are in deeper waters than

:53:30. > :53:34.what they are. Combine that with a quick receding tide and the end up

:53:35. > :53:39.in trouble. Why is it that we see so many of them stranded? Pilot whales

:53:40. > :53:44.have really strong social bonds. They are in family groups. They are

:53:45. > :53:49.called pilot whales because they tend to follow a leader. They are in

:53:50. > :53:54.fact a dolphin. If an individual becomes stranded for whatever

:53:55. > :53:59.reason, through illness or wrong navigation, the others are so

:54:00. > :54:03.strongly bonded to that individual they will come and try to help them

:54:04. > :54:07.and end up in trouble themselves. We've been looking at pictures of

:54:08. > :54:11.people helping. Clearly there is a lot of work that humans can do to

:54:12. > :54:14.help them when they are stranded. Why is it so important that they are

:54:15. > :54:19.covered and kept wet? Talk us through how that works. So these

:54:20. > :54:25.animals are large animals, 6-7 metres in length and can weigh a

:54:26. > :54:29.lot. They need the buoyancy of the water to keep their body supported.

:54:30. > :54:33.When they are romantic causes a lot of stress on their organs, which is

:54:34. > :54:38.why some of them unfortunately do die. They need the water to stay

:54:39. > :54:42.wet, they can dry out and overheat. But they are mammals, so they need

:54:43. > :54:46.to breathe air, so it is really important to keep them cool and you

:54:47. > :54:51.protect their blowhole, which is the nose on the top of the head. I think

:54:52. > :54:57.I've seen in this picture is someone singing to them. Yes, that has

:54:58. > :55:01.happened. We know that whales and dolphins are very vocal and some of

:55:02. > :55:06.them do sing to each other, so that could be a way of calming them. It

:55:07. > :55:10.could be a way to help us deal with the situation as well, got it is

:55:11. > :55:14.very sad to see this. What guarantees it if any are there for

:55:15. > :55:17.not coming back? On that have managed to go back out, you would

:55:18. > :55:22.hope they've bent on foreign after the able to swim away, but we could

:55:23. > :55:29.see this happen again? -- they've gone far enough. The same group

:55:30. > :55:32.could come back, or others good. If there are still stranded individuals

:55:33. > :55:36.on the beach, that strong bond will mean they will try to come in and

:55:37. > :55:42.get to the individuals again. That's why the court and see -- the

:55:43. > :55:46.co-ordinated response is needed. You need to get them out at the same

:55:47. > :55:50.time to prevent them coming back again. Sadly, with strandings, we

:55:51. > :55:54.don't know the reasons why until after the event, until we can

:55:55. > :55:58.examine the dead individuals and get the environmental conditions that

:55:59. > :56:02.has made them come in. That's why it makes it quite difficult to prevent.

:56:03. > :56:09.But research is key and vital. Organisations out in New Zealand,

:56:10. > :56:12.all of this work is important to build a picture of what's going on

:56:13. > :56:14.with animals, so we can protect them in the future. Thank you very much

:05:01. > :05:03.The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow has insisted

:05:04. > :05:06.that his impartiality has not been compromised after a video emerged

:05:07. > :05:08.showing him making political comments including saying

:05:09. > :05:10.that he voted Remain in the EU Referendum.

:05:11. > :05:13.The Sunday Telegraph is reported he made the remarks to students

:05:14. > :05:15.at Reading University, just three days before saying

:05:16. > :05:18.he would veto a parliamentary address by President Donald Trump.

:05:19. > :05:20.The UK Parliament website states that "speakers must

:05:21. > :05:28.This may not be popular with some people in this audience,

:05:29. > :05:40.I thought it was better to stay in the European Union than not,

:05:41. > :05:48.partly for economic reasons, part of being within a trading bloc,

:05:49. > :05:52.and partly because we are in a big power bloc and because it is better

:05:53. > :05:59.to be part of a bigger power bloc in the world.

:06:00. > :06:08.Explain how significant these criticisms are. They were made three

:06:09. > :06:11.days before those comments were made about Donald Trump in the house on

:06:12. > :06:17.Monday when he accused Donald Trump of sexism and racism and said he

:06:18. > :06:21.should not addressed Parliament when it comes to the UK for a state visit

:06:22. > :06:26.later on this year. Now, that was met by applause by some MPs in the

:06:27. > :06:30.house, but others felt he went a step too far. That he is supposed to

:06:31. > :06:34.remain impartial and was not impartial by saying that. So there

:06:35. > :06:38.was a vote of no confidence. This latest revelation that a few days

:06:39. > :06:42.earlier he had said he supported remaining in the EU is being used

:06:43. > :06:47.certainly by those who want to see the back of John Bercow. Adding fuel

:06:48. > :06:53.to the fire really to get rid of him. For John Bercow's part, his

:06:54. > :06:56.supporters have said that when it comes down to chairing debates in

:06:57. > :07:00.the House of Commons, he remains very impartial and he always is

:07:01. > :07:05.there to those present and in terms of those comments made on the EU,

:07:06. > :07:09.those were made after the campaign, and certainly during the campaign he

:07:10. > :07:13.remained impartial. But it brings into question again the impartiality

:07:14. > :07:18.of the speaker which is important. The speaker is supposed to give up

:07:19. > :07:22.political allegiance in all ways when they become the speaker and

:07:23. > :07:25.this is bringing back into question. Thank you.

:07:26. > :07:28.North Korea has fired a ballistic missile in the first such test

:07:29. > :07:30.since Donald Trump took office as US President.

:07:31. > :07:33.Speaking at a joint press conference during a visit to America

:07:34. > :07:36.by Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Ahbay Mr Trump assured him "America

:07:37. > :07:38.stands behind Japan, its great ally, 100%."

:07:39. > :07:41.With the latest, our reporter, Kevin Kim, is in Seoul

:07:42. > :07:57.Well, I believe most North Korea observers may think that the timing

:07:58. > :07:59.of the missile launch may not have been a coincidence,

:08:00. > :08:02.as North Korea often carries out such tests close to political

:08:03. > :08:06.What many North Korea observers are worried about is the direction

:08:07. > :08:09.President Trump's relations may be going with Kim Jong-un.

:08:10. > :08:12.North Korea has warned its nuclear programme and long-range nuclear

:08:13. > :08:14.capabilities being able to strike the United States

:08:15. > :08:22.President Trump has made it clear that he will not let this happen.

:08:23. > :08:24.If Pyongyang begins to test the boundaries

:08:25. > :08:39.of Donald Trump's North Korea policies, the fear is that

:08:40. > :08:41.a miscalculation of intentions may lead to escalation of events,

:08:42. > :08:44.which could ultimately lead to real military complication.

:08:45. > :08:47.In times of difficulties, President Trump, will he be able

:08:48. > :08:49.to take measured steps over emotional responses?

:08:50. > :08:59.That has been the conversation of the region.

:09:00. > :09:02.14 retired bishops have written an open letter criticising

:09:03. > :09:03.the church's stance on same-sex marriages.

:09:04. > :09:07.The Church of England last month said it did not support gay

:09:08. > :09:09.marriage, a position announced after three years of conversations

:09:10. > :09:11.with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Christians,

:09:12. > :09:13.who the bishops now claim have been betrayed.

:09:14. > :09:16.The decision will be debated at the General Synod on Wednesday,

:09:17. > :09:20.Last month, the Church of England decided its position on the divisive

:09:21. > :09:26.It followed three years of so-called shared conversations,

:09:27. > :09:30.and stated that "marriage should only be between a man and a woman."

:09:31. > :09:32.The Church said all potential clergy, gay and straight,

:09:33. > :09:35.should be asked about their sexual conduct and their lifestyle.

:09:36. > :09:47.But 14 retired bishops have today expressed their concern

:09:48. > :09:50.that the views of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender members

:10:07. > :10:09.and their career, their ministry, what was offered to them,

:10:10. > :10:18.And they feel that what has come out here is a betrayal in the specific

:10:19. > :10:24.The Church of England said the shared conversations were not

:10:25. > :10:26.changing people's views, but recognising Jesus in people

:10:27. > :10:29.with whom the participants disagreed.

:10:30. > :10:37.The divisive debate over sexuality will continue,

:10:38. > :10:39.and the Church's Governing General Synod will meet

:10:40. > :10:40.next week in London.

:10:41. > :10:51.we will talk about that in depth in a few minutes' time.

:10:52. > :10:54.Homophobic abuse in sport should result in immediate action,

:10:55. > :10:57.including lengthy stadium bans, say MPs in a new report.

:10:58. > :10:59.The Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee says football clubs

:11:22. > :11:24.to save 13 Britons and one American on Saturday afternoon.

:11:25. > :11:27.The sailors only suffered minor injuries but their 60-foot yacht

:11:28. > :11:29.lost its mast and rudder in the bad weather.

:11:30. > :11:32.More than 200 pilot whales that were stranded on a beach

:11:33. > :11:34.in New Zealand have re-floated themselves and swum away.

:11:35. > :11:37.Another 17 were returned to the sea by teams of volunteers.

:11:38. > :11:49.About 350 whales died in two days at the beach at Farewell Spit.

:11:50. > :12:06.A little bit of good news, though, that some of them got away. And

:12:41. > :12:40.not seen it yet. You have to fix that.

:12:41. > :12:42.After three years of so-called "shared conversations"

:12:43. > :12:44.between congregations and the clergy, the Church

:12:45. > :12:46.of England last month announced its opposition

:12:47. > :12:49.Now, 14 retired Bishops have written an open letter

:12:50. > :12:51.criticising the position, that marriage in church should

:12:52. > :12:53.remain the lifelong union of a man and woman.

:12:54. > :12:57.The stance is set to be debated on Wednesday at the General Synod.

:12:58. > :12:59.Jayne Ozanne, who helped organise the letter,

:13:00. > :13:02.joins us now and in our Bristol newsroom is Ed Shaw,

:13:03. > :13:04.from the Christian charity, Living Out.

:13:05. > :13:11.Good morning to you. First of all, if I could just ask you, what was

:13:12. > :13:16.your response to the letter? I am thrilled, actually, that the retired

:13:17. > :13:20.bishops felt, in an unprecedented way, that they could speak out like

:13:21. > :13:24.this. I think they know the struggles that their colleagues are

:13:25. > :13:28.having. But they also know how important it is for a large portion

:13:29. > :13:34.of the Church to be recognised as equal members. And that there are

:13:35. > :13:38.different ways of reading Scripture. So I am very, very grateful that

:13:39. > :13:49.they have taken this step and it is very timely for us. Ed, in Bristol,

:13:50. > :13:53.explain what it is that Living Out stands for. Correct me if I am

:13:54. > :14:09.wrong, you are not identifying as get -- gay Christians. I find that

:14:10. > :14:14.everyone can think of themselves as what they want. I am someone who is

:14:15. > :14:24.attracted to the same-sex. Jesus asked us to soup -- abstain. You can

:14:25. > :14:29.be single, Christian, same-sex attracted happily. You welcome the

:14:30. > :14:33.report from the Church of England? I welcome the fact that they seem to

:14:34. > :14:39.be wanting to clearly follow Jesus' line that sex is between eight man

:14:40. > :14:47.and a woman. I am not happy with all of the report. --A man. What is your

:14:48. > :14:53.reaction? I hear him saying that but I disagree. I actually believe that

:14:54. > :14:58.Jesus would want me to be fulfilled and to be able to commit to life to

:14:59. > :15:01.a partner who I love, who loves me, and it have a fruitful and blessed

:15:02. > :15:05.relationship. And the difficulty we have is that we have different

:15:06. > :15:11.readings of Scripture, and that is what the report fails to recognise.

:15:12. > :15:14.We have three years of conversations were over and over again, the same

:15:15. > :15:17.point came up that people read scripture differently. We don't

:15:18. > :15:27.accept that in the church and I think it is time we did. You say

:15:28. > :15:33.that it has got no one anywhere? We have a whole community of people who

:15:34. > :15:38.feel unhurt. The working party that put this report together didn't even

:15:39. > :15:43.have a gay voice, so I think sadly what the report does is

:15:44. > :15:48.institutionalised being hidden and trying to pretend that we don't

:15:49. > :15:54.really know there's gay clergy who are married, or who are in loving

:15:55. > :15:58.relationships. I think as Christians we need to be open and honest. The

:15:59. > :16:02.church has a responsibility to listen to the congregation and take

:16:03. > :16:07.their views onboard and the act upon them. Does the Church not have more

:16:08. > :16:10.of a responsibility to be more inclusive? I think the Church of

:16:11. > :16:14.England has lessened. I was part of all three stages of the conversation

:16:15. > :16:21.process and there was a lot of painful sharing for people like me

:16:22. > :16:24.and Jane are also lots of listening. Just because the Church hasn't

:16:25. > :16:28.changed its mind doesn't mean they haven't listened. You can be part of

:16:29. > :16:31.a conversation we listen but you don't necessarily change your mind

:16:32. > :16:36.and I think the Church of England has listened, but it has also come

:16:37. > :16:40.to the view that the second view, what Christians have always believed

:16:41. > :16:45.down the centuries, is right and good for people like myself and Jane

:16:46. > :16:49.and that is that there can be great joy in that single life, living for

:16:50. > :16:54.Christ, without a sexual relationship. I think the Church of

:16:55. > :17:02.England has listened and listened well and come to a good conclusion

:17:03. > :17:06.in this report. You said earlier that it is important that we self

:17:07. > :17:13.identify and identify yourself in the type of life you want to lead

:17:14. > :17:17.may not suit anybody else, so what do you say to the people who are

:17:18. > :17:21.perhaps attracted to people of the same sex don't want to be on their

:17:22. > :17:25.own and do want a partner and maybe want that partner for life? Human

:17:26. > :17:31.beings will come up with different views on how you thrive as a human

:17:32. > :17:38.being. The person I most want to listen to is not myself or Jane, but

:17:39. > :17:44.Jesus Christ myself. I think he has been wonderfully clear that marriage

:17:45. > :17:49.is between a man and woman and also by his life it shows you can leave

:17:50. > :17:55.without sex and still enjoy life to the full. You still feel excluded

:17:56. > :18:01.and you are shaking your head. Do you still feel excluded? Yes and

:18:02. > :18:06.sadly I have tried to live like Ed for 40 years and it left me in

:18:07. > :18:09.hospital, fighting for my life, because I couldn't cope with the

:18:10. > :18:12.strain of it and I think it's a really damaging teaching. With

:18:13. > :18:16.Singapore this week that shows nearly half of LGBT teenagers think

:18:17. > :18:20.about committing suicide and that's because of the stress that they are

:18:21. > :18:24.under. We need to find a much better way of embracing difference in our

:18:25. > :18:32.church. Is that the responsibility of the Church or all of us? All of

:18:33. > :18:37.us, but the Church should be leading the way. Last year I did a survey

:18:38. > :18:40.where I asked the general public what they thought of same-sex

:18:41. > :18:45.marriage and I specifically asked Anglicans and there are more who

:18:46. > :18:50.believe that same-sex marriage is right, and is wrong. That's not

:18:51. > :18:54.reflected in report either. Ed says they were listening, but they were

:18:55. > :18:57.listening for what they wanted to hear, I would suggest not listening

:18:58. > :19:03.to what the grassroots were really telling them. Good to see you. Good

:19:04. > :19:05.to hear both of those views. Thank you.

:19:06. > :19:10.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:19:11. > :19:12.The main stories this morning: Surgeons and hospital trusts say

:19:13. > :19:15.thousands of operations are being cancelled because of a shortage

:19:16. > :19:19.Commons Speaker John Bercow insists his impartiality has not

:19:20. > :19:23.been affected after he revealed he had voted Remain

:19:42. > :19:47.Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

:19:48. > :19:55.Good morning. I got my own heartwarming story. Things could get

:19:56. > :20:00.milder over coming days. There is some good news today. Some parts

:20:01. > :20:04.struggling to get to four degrees but by the time we get to the middle

:20:05. > :20:09.part we will see temperatures widely in double figures. Feeling a touch

:20:10. > :20:13.more like spring as the winds come off the Atlantic. Today winds still

:20:14. > :20:18.come from the east. We've seen some snow already, giving a dusting in

:20:19. > :20:22.east Anglia and to the north of London, working towards the east

:20:23. > :20:25.Midlands, and that will continue northwards through this morning,

:20:26. > :20:30.giving a slight covering of snow anywhere. Over the hills we could

:20:31. > :20:33.see a centimetre or two, even more as it pushes into the Pennines and

:20:34. > :20:40.pig district later. -- Peak District. Not as much rain, sleet

:20:41. > :20:45.and snow around as yesterday and brighter skies later. A dry start to

:20:46. > :20:48.north and west Wales. Rain, sleet and snow becomes more abundant in

:20:49. > :20:53.the north-east of England. The snow mainly over the hills, but some to

:20:54. > :20:56.lower levels at times. Some wintry weather to the south and east of

:20:57. > :21:02.Scotland. Across Northern Ireland largely dry. Scotland the best for

:21:03. > :21:06.the sunny conditions. A couple more quinces in the south compared to

:21:07. > :21:12.yesterday. As you can see once the snow is into the Pennines it will be

:21:13. > :21:15.there all day. It will blow around in lively winds and those will make

:21:16. > :21:22.it feel colder than the temperatures behind me suggest. A cold and to.

:21:23. > :21:31.Sleet and snow through the central suede. -- cold and today. Rain comes

:21:32. > :21:36.up from France and slightly less cold. In the south-west of England

:21:37. > :21:41.temperatures will rise throughout. Milder air pushes in by the time we

:21:42. > :21:45.reached on. Still cold for many, especially in eastern Scotland and

:21:46. > :21:51.eastern England. Some patchy rain, sleet and snow. Brightest in the

:21:52. > :21:55.west and south. Increasing sunshine. A fairly windy day and across

:21:56. > :21:59.western parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and north-west England,

:22:00. > :22:02.strong and gusty winds. Especially gusty in western Wales and the

:22:03. > :22:05.south-west of England. Thank you. It does look called!

:22:06. > :22:10.Double figures. -- look cold. The Andrew Marr

:22:11. > :22:18.programme is on BBC One What have you got coming

:22:19. > :22:27.up today Andrew? We have John Bercow, on his

:22:28. > :22:31.relationship with other MPs. We've got the leader of the Commons on the

:22:32. > :22:34.programme to talk about that and Brexit. The other story is new

:22:35. > :22:39.pressure on Labour. I have Tom Watson to reflect on what happens to

:22:40. > :22:45.the Labour Party. I've got Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders and

:22:46. > :22:47.adjudged talking about pressures on the NHS. So lots to talk about at

:22:48. > :22:51.nine a.m.. Thanks very much. You're watching

:22:52. > :22:54.Breakfast from BBC News. Time now for a look

:22:55. > :23:01.at the newspapers. Anand Menon from the thinktank UK

:23:02. > :23:05.in a Changing Europe is here to tell First, let's look

:23:06. > :23:15.at the front pages. Starting with the Observer. All

:23:16. > :23:21.sorts on the front page, including a picture of the rugby yesterday. The

:23:22. > :23:28.attitude to gay relationships. We've just been talking about that. The

:23:29. > :23:33.general synod meeting on Wednesday. They aren't expected to make any

:23:34. > :23:39.change on the stance on same-sex marriage. For this morning's Sunday

:23:40. > :23:44.Express Row, recalled this Trump aid, ahead of the visit of Donald

:23:45. > :23:48.Trump the UK they say what he would choose to do is speak to the people

:23:49. > :23:53.with a stadium rally while he is here, a ticketed event, with the

:23:54. > :23:59.proceeds going to the Poppy Appeal. He says it would be a celebration of

:24:00. > :24:02.the relationship between America and Britain.

:24:03. > :24:12.Sunday Telegraph, and the stories on the front. Their top story leads on

:24:13. > :24:19.our top story, John Bercow and new issues after it was revealed he

:24:20. > :24:24.voted Remain. Now pressure on him to quit, Russia mounting on him as well

:24:25. > :24:26.after he said last week that he does not want President Trump to address

:24:27. > :24:31.parliament. The front page of the Sunday Times.

:24:32. > :24:39.We are focusing on a story about Russia. In a first interview the

:24:40. > :24:44.head of GCHQ says there has been a significant step change in Russia's

:24:45. > :24:49.online aggression towards The west. Apparently Britain is being hit by

:24:50. > :24:51.60 significant cyber attacks every month, including attacks by Russian

:24:52. > :24:53.state-sponsored hackers. Let's have a look at the inside

:24:54. > :25:04.pages. This is in the Observer. Ukip too

:25:05. > :25:06.disorganised to cash in on Brexit, says opponent.

:25:07. > :25:13.This is a story about the by-election in Stoke. Ukip are the

:25:14. > :25:17.bookies' favourite to win there, because they voted strongly to leave

:25:18. > :25:21.and Labour has all sorts of problems. People on the ground as

:25:22. > :25:24.saying the Ukip ground operation is not professional or organised enough

:25:25. > :25:29.for them to win. What do they need in that ground

:25:30. > :25:33.operation? Its people knocking on doors and speaking to voters and

:25:34. > :25:37.they need to be pretty organised. It does, because you need to have a

:25:38. > :25:41.good database, you need to know where you are knocking and to your

:25:42. > :25:44.supporters are, do you need to get out on the day and what some of the

:25:45. > :25:49.bigger parties like Labour are saying is Ukip aren't very good at

:25:50. > :25:54.this and have lost a lot of their key election organisers over the

:25:55. > :25:59.next year so they went be very good at getting it out. Your next story

:26:00. > :26:03.is the new Sunday Telegraph and this is about Britain's trade deals with

:26:04. > :26:07.the EU and restrictions upon them. Yes. It is a slightly misleading

:26:08. > :26:12.title because what the story is about is two things. We aren't

:26:13. > :26:16.allowed to sign trade deals until we leave, is all this talk about

:26:17. > :26:19.signing a deal with the US will have to wait. The other thing is about

:26:20. > :26:23.the danger that Jean-Claude Juncker sees about Britain trying to divide

:26:24. > :26:28.the member states, so going to each of them with different offers they

:26:29. > :26:31.can't come back with a united front, so it will strengthen as in the

:26:32. > :26:38.negotiations. Staying with a political scene, the Times. This is

:26:39. > :26:48.on the front page. Secret Labour search for Jeremy Corbyn heir. Is

:26:49. > :26:52.that just good politics? Jeremy Corbyn is doing very badly when it

:26:53. > :27:00.comes to popularity with voters, so there is some urgency. Even if Ukip

:27:01. > :27:04.don't win in Stoke, if they go into meltdown their votes could go back

:27:05. > :27:07.to the Conservatives. So the Labour Party faces challenges from all

:27:08. > :27:12.fronts. Here on the sofa, a couple of days ago, Jeremy Corbyn said he

:27:13. > :27:16.had no plans to stand down. Absolutely. In Westminster the

:27:17. > :27:20.rumours are rife and people say he is thinking about standing down.

:27:21. > :27:23.There is a story doing the rounds, but he is basically hanging on for

:27:24. > :27:28.long enough to ensure the succession goes to someone he wants. But only

:27:29. > :27:36.time will tell. Let's turn away from politics. The weather, our

:27:37. > :27:44.obsession. The hayloft ?2, weatherwise. -- tale of two towns.

:27:45. > :27:48.It will be warmer in parts of the UK than Barcelona, which can only be

:27:49. > :27:52.good! But I don't think it is that warming Barcelona this week. But I

:27:53. > :27:56.think we are thinking of healthy double figures, which has to be

:27:57. > :28:01.good, having been out this morning at the crack of dawn when it was

:28:02. > :28:04.freezing! Such a mixed because we had snow in some parts of the

:28:05. > :28:08.country over the last couple of days, some snow forecast for the

:28:09. > :28:12.next couple of days, but the south-west has been warm.

:28:13. > :28:16.But if you can see this picture in Brighton, swimming in the sea off

:28:17. > :28:22.Brighton, alcohol has it been? I don't think you would swing this

:28:23. > :28:29.week, it is freezing! It is part of the fund, because the water is cold

:28:30. > :28:33.it is invigorating. -- part of the fun. It is one of those things, I

:28:34. > :28:40.can see the sense in it. I just don't want to do it! And your last

:28:41. > :28:45.story? This struck me as we had story, the idea that if you use

:28:46. > :28:49.white vinegar it will make your washing whiter. Vinegar in your

:28:50. > :28:55.washing machine? Yes. Like vinegar that you put on your

:28:56. > :28:58.chips? The white stuff, not the malt. But there is still a slight

:28:59. > :29:05.smell, I would have thought. What does it smell like? I would hazard a

:29:06. > :29:10.guess that it would be vinegar. But there are other things in with it.

:29:11. > :29:17.Vinegar is good for cleaning stuff. And it is very cheap. It is cheap.

:29:18. > :29:18.But still smelly. More household hints on the programme!

:29:19. > :29:21.Nice to see you. Thank you. We're here on the BBC News Channel

:29:22. > :29:24.until 9am this morning. The team from Click will take a look

:29:25. > :29:29.at the 500 year history of humanity's attempts to create

:29:30. > :29:39.robots that resemble people. We've done a lot on a programme

:29:40. > :29:43.about this. These are incredible. It looks at

:29:44. > :29:47.them through the ages and they look at how lifelike they are. They are

:29:48. > :29:51.wrong reception desks, all sorts of places.

:29:52. > :29:52.Featuring for that. I don't want a robot in my world.

:29:53. > :29:54.It could be useful! But this is where we say goodbye

:29:55. > :29:57.to viewers on BBC One. I'm a detective

:29:58. > :30:06.with the Metropolitan Police. How long did you resist

:30:07. > :30:09.working for us?
