:00:08. > :00:09.Donald Trump launches a ferocious attack on the media

:00:10. > :00:15.as he defends his first weeks in office.

:00:16. > :00:21.This administration is running like a fine tuned machine.

:00:22. > :00:24.In a long and extraordinary White House press conference he told

:00:25. > :00:44.reporters their level of dishonesty was out of control.

:00:45. > :00:46.Good morning, it's Friday 17th February

:00:47. > :00:48.A group of British tourists are hospitalised

:00:49. > :00:51.after being thrown into freezing waters following a speed-boat

:00:52. > :00:55.Urgent talks are held to secure the future of Vauxhall's two car

:00:56. > :01:12.Good morning. Half the food we eat we do grow in the UK but that means

:01:13. > :01:16.half of it, like these peppers, is blown in from overseas. Should we be

:01:17. > :01:18.growing more British food? That's what I'll be looking at this

:01:19. > :01:18.morning. In sport, it's a first

:01:19. > :01:20.hatrick for the big Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic since

:01:21. > :01:22.joining Manchester United last summer and the veteran

:01:23. > :01:26.put his side, well on their way, to the last 16 of

:01:27. > :01:42.the Europa League. I do believe a nationwide rise of

:01:43. > :01:42.the housewives would end this curse of queueing.

:01:43. > :01:45.She might have hated it, but now researchers have come up

:01:46. > :01:48.with a formula for how to to do it best.

:01:49. > :01:56.Good morning. Patchy fog around this morning, some could be slow to

:01:57. > :02:00.clear. Also a fairly cloudy day with light rain coming in from the West.

:02:01. > :02:01.The best of the sunshine in the north and north-east. More in about

:02:02. > :02:02.30 minutes. President Trump has accused

:02:03. > :02:06.the media of showing During an extraordinary press

:02:07. > :02:10.conference at the White House he insisted his administration was

:02:11. > :02:14.running like a fine tuned machine. He told reporters their level of

:02:15. > :02:32.dishonesty was out of control. Ladies and gentlemen, the President

:02:33. > :02:36.of the United States. Actual notice a news conference was announced to

:02:37. > :02:40.be given by the President. -- at short notice. Ostensibly to announce

:02:41. > :02:44.his new choice as Labour Secretary but really it was to get a whole lot

:02:45. > :02:48.of his chest. The press honestly is out of control, the level of

:02:49. > :02:51.dishonesty is out of control. The idea his ministration was in

:02:52. > :02:56.meltdown, nothing could be further from the truth. I'd turn on the TV

:02:57. > :03:01.and open the newspapers and I hear stories of chaos, chaos, yet it's

:03:02. > :03:08.the exact opposite. This administration is running like a

:03:09. > :03:12.fine tuned machine. But how could he reconcile that with the travel band

:03:13. > :03:14.that's been blocked by the courts? A question I asked after a little back

:03:15. > :03:31.and fourth. Can I just ask you...thank you very

:03:32. > :03:33.much, Mr President... Where are you from?

:03:34. > :03:34.BBC. It's a good line,

:03:35. > :03:38.impartial, free and fair. On the travel ban -

:03:39. > :03:43.we can banter back and forth - on the travel ban, would you accept

:03:44. > :03:46.that that was a good example of the smooth running

:03:47. > :03:48.of government... Let me tell you...

:03:49. > :03:51...were there any mistakes in that? Wait, wait.

:03:52. > :03:54.I know who you are, just wait. Let me tell you about

:03:55. > :03:56.the travel ban, we had a very smooth rollout

:03:57. > :03:59.of the travel ban. But we had a bad court.

:04:00. > :04:02.We got a bad decision. We are going to put

:04:03. > :04:05.in a new executive order next week sometime but we had a bad decision

:04:06. > :04:08.that is the only thing The other thing that the President

:04:09. > :04:13.is in a rage about is the suggestion that he is in

:04:14. > :04:16.the pockets of the Russians, too close to Vladimir Putin,

:04:17. > :04:19.too many shady business contacts. I own nothing in Russia.

:04:20. > :04:22.I have no loans in Russia. Ten British tourists

:04:23. > :04:28.are being treated in hospital in Norway after two speedboats hit

:04:29. > :04:32.the base of a water fountain. It happened in the harbour

:04:33. > :04:34.of the town of Harstad. Two people are reported to have

:04:35. > :04:37.been seriously injured, but their injuries aren't described

:04:38. > :04:47.as life-threatening. What started out as a pleasure

:04:48. > :04:52.cruise ended in a dramatic rescue. These British tourists were left in

:04:53. > :04:55.near freezing waters or around 15 minutes before being rescued after

:04:56. > :05:02.they'd been flung from their boat. The party had been returning from a

:05:03. > :05:06.sightseeing trip off the shores of Harstad when one of the speedboats

:05:07. > :05:13.rushed to the base of a water feature that wasn't working at the

:05:14. > :05:18.time. A second boat following was caught up in the incident at around

:05:19. > :05:22.3pm local time. TRANSLATION: All of the passengers have been brought to

:05:23. > :05:26.hospital for help and first aid. We will contact all of them later to

:05:27. > :05:32.further investigate. We will also go to the boat drivers and people who

:05:33. > :05:40.saw the incident. -- talk to. A Foreign Office statement said:

:05:41. > :05:49.A spokesman for the Surrey based holiday company Inghams said the

:05:50. > :05:51.tourists all arrived on Norway in Wednesday and were due to arrive

:05:52. > :05:57.this Sunday. Ashley McVey, BBC News. Tony Blair is to announce his

:05:58. > :06:00.mission to persuade people to rise The former Prime Minister will say

:06:01. > :06:05.in a speech later that voters made their decisions without knowing

:06:06. > :06:08.the real damage that Downing Street has said

:06:09. > :06:11.it is absolutely committed to seeing Brexit through and today

:06:12. > :06:14.Theresa May will meet the French Prime Minister

:06:15. > :06:16.for discussions Our political correspondent Tom Bateman

:06:17. > :06:25.can tell us more. What exactly is Tony Blair saying?

:06:26. > :06:28.We've known for some time that Tony Blair thinks in his words Brexit

:06:29. > :06:31.would be a catastrophe so nothing new in that message but what's

:06:32. > :06:36.interesting about this speech he will did in the City of London later

:06:37. > :06:40.on is that this is a rallying cry, really a kind of expression of

:06:41. > :06:45.mission that people who are opposed to Brexit and those who campaigned

:06:46. > :06:49.to Remain should continue to do so and he uses the words people should

:06:50. > :06:54.rise up and persuade people who voted for Grexit should change their

:06:55. > :06:57.minds in his words. He thinks the government has become defined by

:06:58. > :07:00.Brexit and this is the type of Brexit that he thinks would be

:07:01. > :07:05.incredibly damaging as we get more of those terms around exactly what

:07:06. > :07:09.Brexit would mean. Now, you won't be surprised to hear that those who

:07:10. > :07:17.campaigned to leave the European Union are furious about what he's

:07:18. > :07:21.saying. One of those, Iain Duncan Smith, the Conservative MP, says

:07:22. > :07:24.this is exactly what the elites got wrong about the referendum in not

:07:25. > :07:27.listening to the people. And all of this while the Prime Minister

:07:28. > :07:30.welcomes her French counterpart at Downing Street where she will say

:07:31. > :07:34.that Britain is not seeking to cherry pick the best bits of EU

:07:35. > :07:34.membership. OK, Tom, thank you very much.

:07:35. > :07:37.The Business Secretary said last night's urgent talks with the French

:07:38. > :07:39.government and car firm PSA were constructive,

:07:40. > :07:42.after travelling to Paris to discuss the future of thousands of jobs

:07:43. > :07:46.Peugeot owner PSA is looking to take over the European arm

:07:47. > :07:49.of General Motors, which includes the Vauxhall and Opel brands.

:07:50. > :07:52.Greg Clark says he will remain in close contact with both firms

:07:53. > :08:06.If this deal goes ahead, it will create the second-biggest car firm

:08:07. > :08:12.in Europe. There's been an intense talks over the past few days as

:08:13. > :08:16.French carmaker PSA, which owns Peugeot and Citroen, looks to take

:08:17. > :08:21.over part of General Motors -- intense talks. That includes a

:08:22. > :08:27.Vauxhall in the UK, which employs 10,500 staff at its two sites in

:08:28. > :08:33.Luton and L Smith and tens of thousands more in its retail and

:08:34. > :08:37.supply chain. -- Elsmore port. Last night they met and they made clear

:08:38. > :08:43.the Vauxhall brand and its workforce are valued. But this is a deal that

:08:44. > :08:47.is moving quickly and when giant companies are created, protecting

:08:48. > :08:51.jobs becomes a concern, particularly when other countries are trying to

:08:52. > :08:56.do the same. The French and the German governments are meeting and

:08:57. > :09:00.that will be to try and secure the future for their plants and we want

:09:01. > :09:06.to make sure that the UK is not sitting on the sidelines. So still a

:09:07. > :09:10.lot to do, a lot to play for, but our determination is as strong as

:09:11. > :09:16.ever. Unions say the British market will be key to Vauxhall's new owners

:09:17. > :09:21.so they must commit to its loyal and skilled workforce. But having a

:09:22. > :09:22.British seat at the table remains crucial as these talks continue.

:09:23. > :09:24.Kathryn Stanczyszyn, BBC News. The founder of Facebook,

:09:25. > :09:26.Mark Zuckerberg, says he fears millions of people are

:09:27. > :09:29.withdrawing from what he calls In an interview with

:09:30. > :09:32.the BBC, he addressed the growing controversy over fake

:09:33. > :09:35.news and what he sees as a troubling drift

:09:36. > :09:41.away from globalisation. Some of the UK's biggest trade

:09:42. > :09:43.bodies, including the CBI, British Retail Consortium,

:09:44. > :09:46.the Federation of Small Businesses, British Chambers of Commerce have

:09:47. > :09:48.signed a letter to Parliament calling for Government proposals

:09:49. > :09:51.on business rates appeals They say the changes,

:09:52. > :09:55.which take effect in April, will force companies to pay

:09:56. > :09:57.artificially high rates, even if they could prove

:09:58. > :10:00.the amount should be lower. from London's New Covent Garden

:10:01. > :10:13.Market. Also on where we're growing our

:10:14. > :10:17.fruit and veg as well. Good morning. Good morning. Business rates are a

:10:18. > :10:21.bit like a council tax for companies who pay the tax based on the rental

:10:22. > :10:25.value of their property and a few other things as well. It was last

:10:26. > :10:28.calculated in 2010, property prices have changed a lot since then and

:10:29. > :10:32.that means these new calculation is that kick in in April have also

:10:33. > :10:36.changed for a lot of businesses. Three quarters will see the rates

:10:37. > :10:45.stay the same awful but that still means hundreds of thousands of

:10:46. > :10:49.businesses, particularly where property prices have gone up a lot,

:10:50. > :10:53.will see rises. The government wants to make it harder to appeal if you

:10:54. > :10:56.don't agree as a business with those changes, it wants to see businesses

:10:57. > :10:59.have to have a reasonable argument and if the government thinks it's

:11:00. > :11:03.unreasonable they will dismiss it earlier down the line. So what we're

:11:04. > :11:06.hearing today from the trade bodies you mention is they want the

:11:07. > :11:09.government to scrap those plans to allow these businesses to appeal

:11:10. > :11:10.freely. Sean, thank you, we will join you later on.

:11:11. > :11:13.American Scientists attempting to bring the woolly mammoth back

:11:14. > :11:15.from extinction believe they are close to a major breakthrough.

:11:16. > :11:18.Mammoths died out over 4,000 years ago but the team

:11:19. > :11:21.from Harvard University is using DNA retrieved from specimens found

:11:22. > :11:27.They claim that in the next two years they will be able to mix it

:11:28. > :11:29.with Asian elephants to create new hybrid embryos.

:11:30. > :11:41.But admit a living breathing mammoth is still a long way off.

:11:42. > :11:51.It's a step to All Ords. It is, isn't it? Quite an extraordinary

:11:52. > :11:58.story. If they can bring back the mammoths -- it is a step towards.

:11:59. > :12:00.What about the Dodos? Bring back the Dodo I say, cross it with a chicken

:12:01. > :12:09.or something, a hybrid! Lovely to see you! It is all about

:12:10. > :12:13.Manchester United and Spurs, mixed fortunes in the Europa League, it's

:12:14. > :12:17.not the Champions League but it is a chance for silverware and a chance

:12:18. > :12:18.to get into the Champions League next season for the winners but a

:12:19. > :12:19.mixed night. Manchester United all but got

:12:20. > :12:22.the job done against St Etienne. A hat-trick from Zlatan

:12:23. > :12:24.Ibrahimovic at Old Trafford put them in control of their last 32

:12:25. > :12:28.tie, going into the second But Tottenham have a fair bit

:12:29. > :12:32.of work to do in their tie, they were poor last night,

:12:33. > :12:35.suffering a surprise 1-0 defeat at Gent, who're eighth

:12:36. > :12:40.in the Belgian league. referees is heading to the Middle

:12:41. > :12:43.East. Mark Clattenburg, who took charge

:12:44. > :12:48.of the European Championship and Champions League

:12:49. > :12:50.finals last season, is to become Head of

:12:51. > :12:55.Referees in Saudi Arabia. And Salford Red Devils

:12:56. > :13:02.picked up their first win of the Super League season,

:13:03. > :13:10.beating Huddersfield Giants 30-20. They prevented Huddersfield from

:13:11. > :13:15.going top of the table. We only work here! I know, we've been here for

:13:16. > :13:22.many years now, live, work, breed here. Are you going to stay around

:13:23. > :13:23.for the papers? -- breve. If I can! Carol has the weather.

:13:24. > :13:30.Fairly settled and mild but some rain in the forecast. Today it will

:13:31. > :13:33.be mostly cloudy, the best of the sunshine will be in the north and

:13:34. > :13:38.north-east and wherever you are it's going to feel mild. What we've got

:13:39. > :13:42.is this line of cloud, that's a weak weather front and through the day it

:13:43. > :13:46.will pivot northwards. Ahead of it in parts of Scotland and northern

:13:47. > :13:49.England, some fog patches and in south-west England there are also

:13:50. > :13:56.fog patches this morning, some of which will be slow to clear but

:13:57. > :14:00.eventually they will. For many we'll be left with a lot of cloud. Where

:14:01. > :14:04.we got the weak weather front that's when we see some light and patchy

:14:05. > :14:08.rain, move away from that, where the fog lifts in Scotland you will see

:14:09. > :14:12.some trine Imanol and east. The same in northern England, the fog patches

:14:13. > :14:15.-- the same in the north and east. As we come south, the other end of

:14:16. > :14:20.that weather front producing a fair bit of cloud as well but on either

:14:21. > :14:23.side of it we will see some brighter breaks. But for most today the

:14:24. > :14:27.forecast is going to be cloudy. Through the course of the day with

:14:28. > :14:30.light winds if you do happen to see some sunshine it will feel pleasant

:14:31. > :14:34.enough, quite springlike actually and you can see where we have some

:14:35. > :14:41.rain out to the west. Nothing too heavy but as that weather front

:14:42. > :14:44.moves northwards you'll find the cloud ahead of it will also build.

:14:45. > :14:47.Temperatures today between about eight and 12. Through this evening

:14:48. > :14:51.and overnight, once again we're looking at a fair bit of cloud

:14:52. > :14:54.around, we'll have some spots of light rain in parts of Wales and

:14:55. > :14:58.into the Midlands and another weather front coming from the west

:14:59. > :15:01.will introduce more rain. The rain will be heaviest in the north-west

:15:02. > :15:04.of Scotland, not just tonight but into tomorrow and temperatures

:15:05. > :15:08.staying easily into the mid to high single figures. Into the weekend, it

:15:09. > :15:16.is going to remain mild, there will be some sunny intervals. But there

:15:17. > :15:20.will also be some rain at times in the north. By the time we get to

:15:21. > :15:24.Saturday, this is the kind of scenario you can expect, quite a lot

:15:25. > :15:27.of cloud, quite a lot of showers, here's the rain overnight, moving

:15:28. > :15:31.into Scotland and as it sinks to northern England and north Wales, it

:15:32. > :15:34.will be a weaker feature followed on by some showers. Ahead of it, some

:15:35. > :15:37.brighter skies, some sunshine coming through and once again in the

:15:38. > :15:42.sunshine it will feel quite pleasant for the time of year, quite

:15:43. > :15:45.springlike. Then as we head on into Sunday, we see the remnants of

:15:46. > :15:49.Saturday night into Sunday, another weather front starts to show its

:15:50. > :15:57.hand, a warm front coming in first and behind that you will find we're

:15:58. > :16:01.looking at milder conditions again. Ahead of it not a bad day, the rain

:16:02. > :16:05.coming in from the west, wind picking up a bit but nothing too

:16:06. > :16:09.substantial, 11, 12, maybe a bit more and as we head into the early

:16:10. > :16:13.part of next week, some parts of the UK could hit 16 or 17. That would

:16:14. > :16:16.take us into the exceptionally mild category for this stage in February.

:16:17. > :16:24.Time to get out the shorts! Thank you! But not for long!

:16:25. > :16:33.The Guardian leading with Trump denying the presidency is in a state

:16:34. > :16:39.of chaos. A fabulous picture of a mammoth but they think they may be

:16:40. > :16:44.able to have an embryo with mammoth genes in it but it will be years

:16:45. > :16:54.before an actual mammoth walks on the earth again. In the Daily Mail,

:16:55. > :17:01.we will look at this this morning later. I thought I was going to

:17:02. > :17:07.sneeze and then it... You know the feeling... But it is gone now. The

:17:08. > :17:21.front page of The Times, it looks like Donald Trump wants to sneeze as

:17:22. > :17:29.well. The US tells Russia about friendship and spending on

:17:30. > :17:41.cigarettes at the 15 EU low. A lovely story before the FA Cup. For

:17:42. > :17:46.those who do not know... All leg side against Arsenal.

:17:47. > :17:53.Semiprofessional. Effectively, the bottom league, you like off the foot

:17:54. > :18:01.will leak. The reserve goalkeeper has become an international

:18:02. > :18:11.superstar because is 20 stones, but say their normal goalkeeper had an

:18:12. > :18:17.injury, he would be facing Arsenal. He has been asked by the magazines

:18:18. > :18:27.to pose naked. Wade ashore if his name. -- Wayne Shaw. Can you

:18:28. > :18:32.imagine? It is the reason why people love that tournament so much. He has

:18:33. > :18:41.become a superstar without actually plan. Half of families testing each

:18:42. > :18:49.other while in the same house! It has happened. I have woken my

:18:50. > :18:59.daughter up in the morning. It is a bit of a joke. She is more likely to

:19:00. > :19:05.wake than me going in, I suppose. What I want to do this morning, what

:19:06. > :19:16.are the text messages? Not all of them, maybe. Is it wake up, supper

:19:17. > :19:24.is ready. Food is on the table. Another lovely one. This fan tweets

:19:25. > :19:35.his tennis superstar during the Super Bowl. Atlanta against the New

:19:36. > :19:41.England Patriot. John Girt tweets are saying that if the Patriots come

:19:42. > :19:47.back and win, will you go out on a date with me and they did win so she

:19:48. > :19:51.did. It looks like happily ever after but it is just one dates. But

:19:52. > :19:55.who knows! It's 6:19 and you're watching

:19:56. > :19:58.Breakfast from BBC News. President Trump's accused the media

:19:59. > :20:02.of showing hatred towards him, saying their level of dishonesty

:20:03. > :20:06.was out of control. The USA and Russia can work together

:20:46. > :20:50.that is especially true regarding the relationship between Moscow and

:21:17. > :21:21.organisation, since the 1990s, it has become an offensive and

:21:22. > :21:25.antagonistic organisation. The first of Russian demands will be for Nato

:21:26. > :21:33.to pull back forces from the all ticket states and Poland. Secondly,

:21:34. > :21:38.that the Americans put into writing that Nato will not invite Ukraine,

:21:49. > :21:56.made by the failing to put into writing that Nato would not expand

:21:57. > :22:04.past the eastern Germany. How difficult is the balancing act

:22:05. > :22:09.between those and you figures in the Trump administration, talking about

:22:10. > :22:17.G20 and defence matters, they are talking about how they will handle

:22:18. > :22:23.the relationship. How at odds are they with some of the things Donald

:22:24. > :22:28.Trump has said with what appears to be almost a personal relationship

:22:29. > :22:36.with Vladimir Putin. There is a curious and misguided sense of

:22:37. > :22:40.optimism. Even if Donald Trump is genuine about changing foreign

:22:41. > :22:49.policy towards Russia, he will come up against formidable opposition -

:22:50. > :22:54.Congress, the Republican Party, both hostiles towards Russia. The pair

:22:55. > :23:00.didn't, the State Department and the CIA, and the Defence Secretary is

:23:01. > :23:04.very hardline towards Russia and said yesterday there will be no

:23:05. > :23:10.military cooperation between Russia and America. On that note, the true

:23:11. > :23:14.face of the Trump administration is coming through. But going back to

:23:15. > :23:19.the third demand, fought American missile shield which went active

:23:20. > :23:26.last year in Poland and Romania which is aimed at the Russian

:23:27. > :23:33.strategic nuclear deterrent. There are other demands, less significant

:23:34. > :23:38.but nonetheless, firstly for American sanctions to be lifted and

:23:39. > :23:42.secondly for the Crimea to be recognised as part of the Russian

:23:43. > :23:48.Federation. British and American media have been making a lot of the

:23:49. > :23:52.Crimea but the reason no reason if the Americans do not choose to

:23:53. > :23:58.recognise it as part of Russia, that would preclude the possibility of

:23:59. > :24:03.improved relations between Moscow and Washington. You have to remember

:24:47. > :24:49.to explain the science behind waiting in line and the queuing

:31:40. > :31:45.morning's main news.. But now a summary of this

:31:46. > :31:49.morning's main news. US President Donald Trump has

:31:50. > :31:53.launched a ferocious attack on the media while defending his

:31:54. > :31:56.record during his first During an extraordinary press

:31:57. > :31:59.conference at the White House he insisted his administration

:32:00. > :32:02.was running like a fine tuned machine and told reporters

:32:03. > :32:04.their level of dishonesty Our North America editor

:32:05. > :32:08.Jon Sopel was there. Ladies and gentlemen,

:32:09. > :32:10.the President of the United States. At short notice a news

:32:11. > :32:12.conference was announced, to be given by the President -

:32:13. > :32:15.highly unusual. Ostensibly to announce his

:32:16. > :32:17.new choice as Labour Secretary but really it was to get

:32:18. > :32:21.a whole lot off his chest. Because the press is honestly out

:32:22. > :32:24.of control, the level of dishonesty And the idea that his

:32:25. > :32:28.administration was in meltdown? Nothing could be

:32:29. > :32:30.further from the truth. I turn on the TV, open

:32:31. > :32:33.the newspapers and I see stories of chaos - chaos -

:32:34. > :32:36.yet it is the exact opposite. This administration is running

:32:37. > :32:38.like a fine-tuned machine. But how could he reconcile that

:32:39. > :32:42.with the travel ban that has been A question I asked after

:32:43. > :32:55.a little back and forth. It's a good line,

:32:56. > :33:01.impartial, free and fair. On the travel ban -

:33:02. > :33:06.we can banter back and forth - on the travel ban, would you accept

:33:07. > :33:09.that that was a good example of the smooth running

:33:10. > :33:11.of government... Let me tell you...

:33:12. > :33:14...were there any mistakes in that? Let me tell you about the travel

:33:15. > :33:23.ban, we had a very smooth rollout But we had a bad court.

:33:24. > :33:27.We got a bad decision. We are going to put

:33:28. > :33:30.in a new executive order The other thing that the President

:33:31. > :33:34.is in a rage about is the suggestion that he is in the pockets

:33:35. > :33:37.of the Russians. Donald Trump said his administration

:33:38. > :33:46.would crack down on the leaking of classified information and then,

:33:47. > :33:50.at the end, something you never see at a White House news conference -

:33:51. > :33:54.the President being heckled. REPORTER: If you have no

:33:55. > :33:57.connection to Russia why won't you release your tax

:33:58. > :34:00.returns and prove it? We'll be talking about that more

:34:01. > :34:09.shortly. Ten British tourists

:34:10. > :34:11.are being treated in hospital in Norway after a speedboat hit

:34:12. > :34:15.the base of a water fountain. The incident happened

:34:16. > :34:17.in the harbour of the town of Harstad as a sightseeing trip

:34:18. > :34:20.returned to shore. Two people are reported to have

:34:21. > :34:22.been seriously injured. The Foreign Office says it is in

:34:23. > :34:25.touch with Norwegian authorities. The cause of the incident

:34:26. > :34:31.is not yet known. Tony Blair will make a speech later

:34:32. > :34:34.today saying his mission is to persuade the British people

:34:35. > :34:37.to change their minds about the vote He will say that people voted

:34:38. > :34:41.without knowing the real damage that Brexit would cause,

:34:42. > :34:44.including possibly the break up But former Cabinet minister

:34:45. > :34:48.Iain Duncan Smith said Mr Blair's comments were arrogant

:34:49. > :34:50.and utterly undemocratic. Downing Street has said

:34:51. > :34:52.it is absolutely committed Urgent talks to discuss the future

:34:53. > :34:56.of thousands of jobs in the British car industry have

:34:57. > :34:58.been held in Paris. The owners of Peugot

:34:59. > :35:01.are looking to take over the European arm of General motors,

:35:05. > :35:08.he will remain in close contact with both firms as the deal

:35:09. > :35:10.progresses, but union officials have warned that protecting UK jobs

:35:11. > :35:23.must remain a priority. The French and the German

:35:24. > :35:25.governments are meeting and that will be to try and secure the future

:35:26. > :35:30.for their plants and we want to make sure that the UK is not

:35:31. > :35:36.sitting on the sidelines. A deal to end much of

:35:37. > :35:39.the long-running dispute on Southern Rail has been rejected

:35:40. > :35:41.by members of the train Under the proposed agreement,

:35:45. > :35:47.or onboard supervisor Southern says it's hugely

:35:48. > :35:50.disappointed and will be seeking Its not unusual to be asked

:35:58. > :36:07.driving a military helicopter. A lorry driver in

:36:08. > :36:09.Kazakhstan has captured the moment a pilot landed

:36:10. > :36:12.on a highway to ask for help The pilot asked how to get to a city

:36:13. > :36:21.in the north-west of the country, much to the amusement of the two

:36:22. > :36:24.lorry drivers who were talking The country's Ministry of Defence

:36:25. > :36:33.said the pilot had been taking part in a visual orientation exercise

:36:34. > :36:45.when he lost his bearings. It can happen! It can happen!

:36:46. > :36:49.Because of the snow there the visibility would have been very bad.

:37:38. > :37:46.Lack of concentration and when you don't have it it is difficult to

:37:47. > :37:52.recover it. So in the first half it was hard and even myself on the

:37:53. > :37:55.touchline, I felt that it was difficult, the communication, I

:37:56. > :38:01.needed it at half-time so we were lucky, yes, to be winning at

:38:02. > :38:01.halftime 1-0. Second half, different storage.

:39:27. > :39:37.When you're playing someone like Judd, you're not going to get very

:39:38. > :39:41.close at my age very often unless you play very well. I need to do a

:39:42. > :39:44.lot of maturing and need to practise well to get to that standard.

:39:45. > :39:49.Amazing story. Very popular back at school, do you think he will do the

:40:07. > :40:10.and on a date they went That's as far as it's gone as far as

:40:11. > :40:27.I know but they are still friends! Press conferences by the President

:40:28. > :40:30.of the United States are typically respectful with politeness and

:40:31. > :40:35.Khamis. But that was in the tone last night when the president spoke

:40:36. > :40:37.to the media. There were insults and heckles and this is how some of it

:40:38. > :40:51.went. I turn on the TV, open the

:40:52. > :40:57.newspapers and icy stories of chaos, chaos. Yet it is the exact opposite.

:40:58. > :41:05.-- IAC stories. This administration is running like a fine-tuned

:41:06. > :41:11.machine. I own nothing in Russia. I have no loans in Russia. I don't

:41:12. > :41:16.have any deals in Russia. President Putin called me up very nicely to

:41:17. > :41:18.congratulate me on the win of the election.

:41:19. > :41:34.So much to talk about. Clear he watches large tranches of the media

:41:35. > :41:39.and then he says the press is out of control and the level of dishonesty

:41:40. > :41:43.is out of control, is it? Allowed absolutely not. You have to

:41:44. > :41:49.understand that Donald Trump and the press are actually living into

:41:50. > :41:53.different realities. Donald Trump sees himself as a saviour and an

:41:54. > :41:56.underdog and Donald Trump once an enormous amount of credit for his

:41:57. > :42:04.victory over elite and rightfully so. But he has got that now and it

:42:05. > :42:09.is now time to make the transition from campaign to actual president,

:42:10. > :42:13.and he hasn't managed to do that. He doesn't really take on the press,

:42:14. > :42:17.doesn't he? And we saw that in the press conference last night, he

:42:18. > :42:22.calls them out individually. Where does this end and where does the

:42:23. > :42:26.analysis and the truth" is yellow well, you know, Donald Trump is a

:42:27. > :42:29.known fighter and what you have to understand about Donald Trump is

:42:30. > :42:39.Donald Trump is actually a tuned to the media. He has grown up in one of

:42:40. > :42:43.the toughest media markets in the world, New York, so he knows how to

:42:44. > :42:47.engage the media but he's gone way overboard. You have to understand,

:42:48. > :42:51.this is the President of the United States, there are a number of issues

:42:52. > :42:54.on his plate right now that he could have addressed in the press

:42:55. > :42:58.conference today but unfortunately we didn't get any of that, we got

:42:59. > :43:02.nothing on his plan for Obamacare, we got nothing on his plan for a

:43:03. > :43:07.compression in Russia policy. There are just a number of issues that he

:43:08. > :43:11.can be addressing but he is so aggrieved by what he believes as the

:43:12. > :43:16.slights by the media, and rightfully so. There are gaping holes in this

:43:17. > :43:20.administration that are very dangerous and questions need to be

:43:21. > :43:24.asked and the media is really going to go after him very hard on many of

:43:25. > :43:29.these issues. It's interesting, he does say that he reads the media

:43:30. > :43:32.again and according to what he reads the administration is in meltdown,

:43:33. > :43:39.he said nothing is further from the truth, though. Well, so far, and the

:43:40. > :43:44.Trump administration has been in office for less than 30 days and

:43:45. > :43:49.already we've seen two high-profile firings, we do know that the knives

:43:50. > :43:53.are out within his inner circle. We do know that he's having a very

:43:54. > :43:58.difficult time staffing up his administration. Keep in mind, there

:43:59. > :44:04.are 4000 political appointees that he needs to make. And right now we

:44:05. > :44:10.know that he's very far the hind President Obama in where he was in

:44:11. > :44:14.2008 in actually starting up his cabinet secretaries. So Donald Trump

:44:15. > :44:19.has a very long way to go and quite frankly he is not running at full

:44:20. > :44:22.capacity right now, and that's just the truth. Let's talk about the

:44:23. > :44:27.performance from his supporters' point of view, because this is why

:44:28. > :44:33.he was voted in in many ways because of this type of performance? You're

:44:34. > :44:36.right. And today that press conference, that was him speaking

:44:37. > :44:40.directly to his supporters. And that's what they want to see. They

:44:41. > :44:45.want to see Donald Trump going after the media because he, along with his

:44:46. > :44:50.supporters, see the media as a leaked, out of touch, Washington

:44:51. > :44:56.based. And so what he is doing is he is speaking directly to them. Elite.

:44:57. > :45:00.And that is also going to be a major problem for him going forward

:45:01. > :45:04.because he has to govern for the entire country, not just for those

:45:05. > :45:09.who elected him but for the entire country. So eventually you wonder

:45:10. > :45:17.how long will congressional Republicans particularly stand

:45:18. > :45:21.behind this president? It is so interesting because it is clear that

:45:22. > :45:24.Donald Trump and the media in that room have a pretty toxic

:45:25. > :45:30.relationship, so what happens about accountability and fact checking? I

:45:31. > :45:35.think we're going to continue to see this problem and one area where I

:45:36. > :45:38.think we could see... Where he could have trouble is, when there are

:45:39. > :45:43.major issues that Donald Trump actually wants to get public support

:45:44. > :45:47.for, we saw that with President Obama often, that he would actually

:45:48. > :45:51.go to the media and he would push his ideas to the media and have them

:45:52. > :45:54.address those issues. So the question will be, can Donald Trump

:45:55. > :45:59.actually get members of the media who will actually go out and talk

:46:00. > :46:04.about some of his policy issues? And I think... And that's where we could

:46:05. > :46:09.seal problems with this administration, because right now

:46:10. > :46:14.we're seeing a dwindling of the support for areas he will need, the

:46:15. > :46:21.media, congressional Republicans and the courts. Thank you very much.

:46:22. > :46:31.Time to get the weather with Carole. Good morning, it is you are stepping

:46:32. > :46:37.out, for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, it is not particularly cold

:46:38. > :46:44.but in Scotland it is. Just below freezing for a large chunk. This

:46:45. > :46:49.cloud gripped around the western areas, producing spots of rain here

:46:50. > :46:55.and there. Foggy patches in the south-west. Also in northern

:46:56. > :47:01.England. Some will be slower to clear. Towards the west, patchy

:47:02. > :47:07.rain. When the fog lift a lot of sunshine. A cloudy day for Northern

:47:08. > :47:11.Ireland. The fog across parts of northern England. It will lift

:47:12. > :47:16.across northern England and The Sun will come out. For Wales and the

:47:17. > :47:23.rest of England, a fair amount of cloud. The other end of the weather

:47:24. > :47:27.front producing all this cloud and you may get some dampness. Through

:47:28. > :47:34.the course of the day, it pivots north. The cloud will build through

:47:35. > :47:41.the afternoon and you can see a line of patchy rain and strengthening

:47:42. > :47:50.winds out to the west. For most it will turn cloudy but where you get

:47:51. > :47:55.the sunshine, 11th - 12 and maybe more. A few showery outbreaks across

:47:56. > :48:01.Wales and the Midlands. Possibly as far as East Anglia. From the west,

:48:02. > :48:06.heavy rain across north-west Scotland continuing on to tomorrow.

:48:07. > :48:13.It will be heavy and persistent for a time. Into the weekend, a mild

:48:14. > :48:22.seem continuing. Sunny intervals of but some rain in the north and here

:48:23. > :48:27.it will be easier. -- breezy. On Saturday, the rain will push across

:48:28. > :48:31.Scotland, still heavier times. As it moves in the northern England and

:48:32. > :48:37.north Wales, it will weaken. In Scotland we will see some bright

:48:38. > :48:43.skies. Some sunshine around and again if the temperature range

:48:44. > :48:49.around 10- 12. In the sunshine it will fill quite pleasant. By

:48:50. > :48:53.Saturday evening, another front coming up for Sunday coming in from

:48:54. > :49:07.the Atlantique. Warmer conditions coming our way. -- the Atlantic. For

:49:08. > :49:13.the first part of next week, it is going to get even milder than that.

:49:14. > :49:15.It sounds nice. Thank you very much. After the recent shortages

:49:16. > :49:18.of imported lettuces and other vegetables could the answer lie

:49:19. > :49:20.in growing more British produce? Only half the food we eat

:49:21. > :49:23.comes from our own farmers. Sean at London's Covent Garden

:49:24. > :49:40.Market this morning to look Is that cabbage as I can see?

:49:41. > :49:47.Peppers? Well done all that is a pepper. It is like being in a flower

:49:48. > :49:52.bed. Some of the produce is absolutely stunning. But you would

:49:53. > :49:59.have to look closely to find anything British. 95% is from Italy

:50:00. > :50:04.right here. Do we want to have more British food? Will you would not be

:50:05. > :50:10.able to have one of these purple head cauliflowers. You could wear it

:50:11. > :50:22.in July, August, September but no chance this time of year. The trend

:50:23. > :50:35.is you might get purple all the -- purple or -- we spend pounds on

:50:36. > :50:44.food. Huge amounts of goes to restaurants. Tim has been looking at

:50:45. > :50:51.how the future of food importing and exporting it might look like. You

:50:52. > :50:57.are not going to get one of these in the UK? Is there ever going to be a

:50:58. > :51:02.point where we are able to feed ourselves? No, and I do not think

:51:03. > :51:07.anyone would argue that we should be feeding ourselves. Not what we are

:51:08. > :51:13.saying is that the more we rely on food coming from overseas, the more

:51:14. > :51:17.we did not produce food for ourselves and if something goes

:51:18. > :51:25.wrong - climate change, geopolitics - that stops us receiving food, what

:51:26. > :51:30.do we do. Want to recognise the value of eating locally not just

:51:31. > :51:34.terms of the food produced by the way the countryside is managed and

:51:35. > :51:40.so on. So that we end up with a food system that is a better mix of local

:51:41. > :51:45.and global. You look at the unbelievable array of colours. A

:51:46. > :51:52.cabbage is pretty much the only British thing I have seen. Does that

:51:53. > :51:58.mean our taste will have to change? A do not think anyone is saying we

:51:59. > :52:03.should. It is just that in the old days, we produced vegetables that we

:52:04. > :52:10.no longer eat. Things like apples, we could grow them over here. It is

:52:11. > :52:14.a matter of yes we rely on international trade and always will

:52:15. > :52:21.but is there more we could do to support our local economy to provide

:52:22. > :52:27.food, connect people back to the countryside, a whole bunch of

:52:28. > :52:33.benefits that comes with it. It is not just about access if the

:52:34. > :52:39.cheapest, all people want is low prices. How does that fit everything

:52:40. > :52:46.you are saying about supporting local economies? Either the

:52:47. > :52:52.consumers at all the retailers. I would take... I would argue with you

:52:53. > :53:00.with respect to what all consumers want. A lot to do. If consumers do

:53:01. > :53:07.not trust the labelling, it makes sense to choose the cheapest but

:53:08. > :53:12.when we do focus groups with people understanding food issues, they

:53:13. > :53:16.understand the value with buying British but we do not always trust

:53:17. > :53:22.of whether or not it is British produced when it says so. How do we

:53:23. > :53:26.encourage people to make the choices they want and make it transparent

:53:27. > :53:32.and so we can get the local benefits to the economy? Thank you very much.

:53:33. > :53:37.We will be talking mated to the chairman of Morrison's to see

:53:38. > :53:45.whether supermarkets are willing to make big changes or whether we want

:53:46. > :53:47.Italian olives and I imagine you are wonderful leaves, Charlie, and are

:53:48. > :53:50.we willing to pay more? It was one of the worst shipping

:53:51. > :53:53.disasters ever to take place in British waters, yet it's one

:53:54. > :53:56.of the least well-known. More than 600 people drowned

:53:57. > :53:59.when the SS Mendi sank close to the Isle of Wight

:54:00. > :54:03.on 21st February 1917. Most of the victims

:54:04. > :54:05.were black South African Labourers who'd been conscripted to support

:54:06. > :54:07.British forces Today events get underway to mark

:54:08. > :54:31.the centenary of the tragedy. Private Daniel Murphy cut, the names

:54:32. > :54:41.of more than 600 killed in one of the U.K.'s worst maritime tragedies.

:54:42. > :54:50.Yet, most have never heard of the sinking of the SS Mendi. 100 years

:54:51. > :54:56.on in Portsmouth rehearsals are on. They were the South African that

:54:57. > :55:01.history forgotten. They have become the unremembered men of the First

:55:02. > :55:07.World War. SS Mendi was sailing from Cape Town to northern France when in

:55:08. > :55:12.thick fog she collided with a larger ship. More than 100 members of the

:55:13. > :55:18.South African native Labour call were on board. More than 600 were

:55:19. > :55:23.lost. They were Labour is needed to support the British Army on the

:55:24. > :55:31.Western front. They built railway lines, roads, the British Army

:55:32. > :55:42.depended on them. They ensured very difficult conditions. They ensured

:55:43. > :55:49.felt racial discrimination and it is time we remember them. They sang

:55:50. > :55:54.this team as SS Mendi sailed from South Africa. It will be performed

:55:55. > :55:59.today in their honour. The discrimination experienced by

:56:00. > :56:04.members of the South African soldiers continued in death. The

:56:05. > :56:10.sinking of the SS Mendi was barely mentioned in official histories of

:56:11. > :56:19.World War I. Those most bodies were never recovered. These are direct

:56:20. > :56:22.descendants of men who died on SS Mendi and have travelled from South

:56:23. > :56:30.Africa for the commemorations. They did get on-board that chip because

:56:31. > :56:35.they were patriotic. The union of South Africa and the King. It is an

:56:36. > :56:46.emotional event coming here. It is only now, that SS Mendi is talked

:56:47. > :56:53.about. We did not have any recognition. At last, we have come.

:56:54. > :56:58.I have come to represent the family. The South African Navy and have also

:56:59. > :57:03.travelled here for the commemoration. Victims of a largely

:57:04. > :57:11.forgotten tragedy at sea officially recognised at last.

:57:12. > :57:17.Those anniversaries leading up to the day, the 21st of February. Time

:57:18. > :00:41.to get the news, travel and weather Now though it's back

:00:42. > :00:43.to Louise and Charlie. with Charlie Stayt and Louise

:00:44. > :00:48.Minchin. Donald Trump launches

:00:49. > :00:50.a ferocious attack on the media as he defends his

:00:51. > :00:52.first weeks in office This administration is running

:00:53. > :00:57.like a fine-tuned machine. In a long and extraordinary

:00:58. > :01:03.White House press conference he told reporters their level of dishonesty

:01:04. > :01:19.was out of control. Good morning, it's

:01:20. > :01:21.Friday 17th February. A group

:01:22. > :01:30.of British tourists are hospitalised after being thrown

:01:31. > :01:32.into freezing waters following a speedboat

:01:33. > :01:33.crash in Norway. Urgent talks are held to secure

:01:34. > :01:37.the future of Vauxhall's two car In sport, it's a first

:01:38. > :01:48.hatrick for the big Swede Half the food we eat in the UK is

:01:49. > :01:52.actually grown here but the vast majority of our fruit and veg is

:01:53. > :01:55.shipped in from overseas. Should we be growing more British food? That's

:01:56. > :01:56.what I'll be looking at this morning.

:01:57. > :01:58.In sport, it's a first hatrick for the big Swede

:01:59. > :02:03.Zlatan Ibrahimovic since joining Manchester United

:02:04. > :02:07.last summer and the veteran put his side well on their way

:02:08. > :02:13.I do believe a nationwide rising of the housewives would end this

:02:14. > :02:18.She might have hated it, but now researchers have come up

:02:19. > :02:27.with a formula for how best to queue.

:02:28. > :02:34.And Carol has the weather for us. Good morning. This morning there is

:02:35. > :02:38.patchy fog, especially in south-west England, northern England and parts

:02:39. > :02:42.of Scotland, some will be slow to clear. It will also be a cloudy day

:02:43. > :02:45.with light rain coming from the West, the lion's share of the

:02:46. > :02:47.sunshine in the north and east of Scotland and north-east England.

:02:48. > :02:48.I'll have more in 15 minutes. US President Donald Trump has

:02:49. > :02:53.launched a ferocious attack on the media while defending his

:02:54. > :02:56.record during his first During an extraordinary press

:02:57. > :02:59.conference at the White House he insisted his administration

:03:00. > :03:01.was running like a fine tuned machine and told reporters

:03:02. > :03:04.their level of dishonesty Our North America editor

:03:05. > :03:09.Jon Sopel was there. Ladies and gentlemen,

:03:10. > :03:13.the President of the United States. At short notice a news

:03:14. > :03:17.conference was announced, to be given by the President -

:03:18. > :03:20.highly unusual. Ostensibly to announce his

:03:21. > :03:22.new choice as Labour Secretary but really it was to get

:03:23. > :03:25.a whole lot off his chest. Because the press is honestly out

:03:26. > :03:29.of control, the level of dishonesty And the idea that his

:03:30. > :03:32.administration was in meltdown? Nothing could be

:03:33. > :03:34.further from the truth. I turn on the TV, open

:03:35. > :03:37.the newspapers and I see stories of chaos - chaos -

:03:38. > :03:42.yet it is the exact opposite. This administration is running

:03:43. > :03:50.like a fine-tuned machine. But how could he reconcile that

:03:51. > :03:54.with the travel ban that has been A question I asked after

:03:55. > :03:57.a little back and forth. Can I just ask you...thank you very

:03:58. > :04:00.much, Mr President... Where are you from?

:04:01. > :04:01.BBC. It's a good line,

:04:02. > :04:06.impartial, free and fair. On the travel ban -

:04:07. > :04:15.we can banter back and forth - on the travel ban, would you accept

:04:16. > :04:18.that that was a good example of the smooth running

:04:19. > :04:22.of government... Yeah, I do.

:04:23. > :04:24.Let me tell you... Wait, wait.

:04:25. > :04:28.I know who you are, just wait. Let me tell you about the travel

:04:29. > :04:32.ban, we had a very smooth rollout We are going to put

:04:33. > :04:39.in a new executive order The other thing that the President

:04:40. > :04:43.is in a rage about is the suggestion that he is in the pockets

:04:44. > :04:46.of the Russians. I own nothing in Russia.

:04:47. > :04:49.I have no loans in Russia. Donald Trump said his administration

:04:50. > :04:54.would crack down on the leaking of classified information and then,

:04:55. > :04:57.at the end, something you never see at a White House news conference -

:04:58. > :05:00.the President being heckled. REPORTER: If you have no

:05:01. > :05:04.connection to Russia why won't you release your tax

:05:05. > :05:06.returns and prove it? Ten British tourists

:05:07. > :05:16.are being treated in hospital in Norway after two speedboats hit

:05:17. > :05:19.the base of a water fountain. It happened in the harbour

:05:20. > :05:22.of the town of Harstad. Two people are reported to have

:05:23. > :05:24.been seriously injured, but their injuries aren't described

:05:25. > :05:26.as life-threatening. What started out as a pleasure

:05:27. > :05:31.cruise ended in a dramatic rescue. These British tourists were left

:05:32. > :05:33.in near-freezing waters for around 15 minutes before being rescued

:05:34. > :05:36.after they'd been flung The party had been returning

:05:37. > :05:45.from a sightseeing trip off the shores of Harstad when one

:05:46. > :05:48.of the speedboats crashed into the base of a water feature

:05:49. > :05:51.which wasn't working at the time. A second boat following behind

:05:52. > :05:55.is thought to have been caught up in the incident, which happened

:05:56. > :05:58.around 3pm local time. TRANSLATION: All of the passengers

:05:59. > :06:03.have been brought to hospital We will contact all of them later

:06:04. > :06:09.to further investigate. We will also talk to

:06:10. > :06:12.the boat drivers and people holiday company Inghams said

:06:13. > :06:33.the tourists all arrived in Norway on Wednesday and were due to arrive

:06:34. > :06:39.in the UK this Sunday. Tony Blair says he wants people

:06:40. > :06:42.to rise up and change In a speech later the former

:06:43. > :06:47.Prime Minister will say that voters made their decisions without knowing

:06:48. > :06:50.the real damage that leaving Downing Street has said

:06:51. > :06:56.it is absolutely committed to seeing Brexit through and today

:06:57. > :07:00.Theresa May will meet the French Prime Minister

:07:01. > :07:01.for discussions. Our political

:07:02. > :07:11.correspondent Tom Bateman What exactly is Tony Blair going to

:07:12. > :07:15.say? Tony Blair has said in the past he believes Grexit would be

:07:16. > :07:18.catastrophic for Britain, that I don't think is particularly new but

:07:19. > :07:22.what's interesting about this is the explicit way this is a rallying cry.

:07:23. > :07:27.And expression of mission that he wants people to fight against Brexit

:07:28. > :07:32.happening -- an. In his speech today he will say this, he says it's not

:07:33. > :07:37.the time for retreat but he says the time to rise up in defence of what

:07:38. > :07:41.we believe. He will then go on that people voted without the knowledge

:07:42. > :07:44.of the true terms of Brexit saying as these terms become clear it's

:07:45. > :07:49.their right to change their minds. Clearly calling on people to think

:07:50. > :07:52.differently about Brexit. Is this going to change things? Certainly

:07:53. > :07:56.not for the moment, I think what he's trying to do here is seek to

:07:57. > :08:00.influence the Parliamentary process at this stage around the Article 50

:08:01. > :08:09.bill, which still has a bit of a way to go. I don't think he really has

:08:10. > :08:13.any chance of changing that, he wants to get things up the agenda

:08:14. > :08:16.and those who campaigned for Brexit say this is elitist with one leading

:08:17. > :08:19.figure, Iain Duncan Smith, saying this is bullying, cajoling and

:08:20. > :08:20.lecturing by Tony Blair. Tom Bateman, thank you very much.

:08:21. > :08:24.Urgent talks to discuss the future of thousands of jobs in the British

:08:25. > :08:26.car industry have been held in Paris.

:08:27. > :08:28.The owner of Peugeot is looking to take over

:08:29. > :08:30.the European arm of General motors,

:08:31. > :08:32.which owns Vauxhall plants at Luton and Ellesmere Port.

:08:33. > :08:36.If this deal goes ahead, it will create the second-biggest

:08:37. > :08:41.There've been intense talks over the past few days as French carmaker

:08:42. > :08:48.looks to take over part of General Motors.

:08:49. > :08:51.That includes Vauxhall in the UK, which employs 4,500 staff at its two

:08:52. > :08:54.sites in Luton and Ellesmere Port and tens of thousands more

:08:55. > :09:05.Last night the Business Secretary met with the French business

:09:06. > :09:08.minister and PSA executives, who made clear the Vauxhall brand

:09:09. > :09:14.But this is a deal that's moving quickly and when giant companies

:09:15. > :09:17.are created, protecting jobs becomes a concern,

:09:18. > :09:20.particularly when other countries are trying to do the same.

:09:21. > :09:23.The French and the German governments are meeting and that

:09:24. > :09:27.will be to try and secure the future for their plants and we want to make

:09:28. > :09:30.sure that the UK is not sitting on the sidelines.

:09:31. > :09:34.So still a lot to do, a lot to play for, but our determination

:09:35. > :09:44.Unions say the British market will be key to Vauxhall's new owners

:09:45. > :09:48.so they must commit to its loyal and skilled workforce.

:09:49. > :09:52.But having a British seat at the table remains crucial

:09:53. > :10:02.The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, says he fears

:10:03. > :10:04.millions of people are withdrawing from what he calls

:10:05. > :10:07.In an interview with the BBC, he addressed

:10:08. > :10:10.the growing controversy over fake news and what he sees

:10:11. > :10:19.as a troubling drift away from globalisation.

:10:20. > :10:22.Some of the UK's biggest trade bodies have signed a letter

:10:23. > :10:24.to Parliament calling for Government proposals on business rates appeals

:10:25. > :10:28.They say the changes, which take effect in April,

:10:29. > :10:30.will force companies to pay artificially high rates,

:10:31. > :10:33.even if they could prove the amount should be lower.

:10:34. > :10:43.from London's New Covent Garden Market.

:10:44. > :10:50.Explain the rates business for us, Sean. The way they work, business

:10:51. > :10:54.rates are a bit like a council tax for companies where they pay a tax

:10:55. > :10:57.partly based on the rental value of the properties they do their

:10:58. > :11:01.business in. There's been a revaluation recently kicking in in

:11:02. > :11:05.April, the last times calculations were done was in 2010 and since then

:11:06. > :11:09.property prices have changed a lot, which is why rates are changing for

:11:10. > :11:17.businesses like these. Three quarters will see them stay the same

:11:18. > :11:20.awful but that still means there are hundreds of thousands of businesses,

:11:21. > :11:24.particularly if property prices have gone up, will see rates go up. The

:11:25. > :11:27.government wants to tweet with the appeal process and they want the

:11:28. > :11:30.valuations tribunal overseeing these things to be able to dismissed the

:11:31. > :11:33.appeals if they think the calculations initially were

:11:34. > :11:37.reasonable. What the business bodies are saying today is they are worried

:11:38. > :11:41.about what that means for businesses in the appeal process and therefore

:11:42. > :11:45.they want the government to drop those plans. We will be with you a

:11:46. > :11:47.bit later talking about vegetables and how much we import as well.

:11:48. > :11:48.Thank you. American Scientists attempting

:11:49. > :11:50.to bring the woolly mammoth back from extinction believe they are

:11:51. > :11:53.close to a major breakthrough. Mammoths died out over 4,000

:12:18. > :12:20.that's caused months of chaos Yesterday the deal agreed

:12:21. > :12:24.by the leaders of Aslef, the train driver's union,

:12:25. > :12:40.was rejected by members. At the heart of the dispute

:12:41. > :12:43.is the company's plan to introduce driver-only operated trains,

:12:44. > :12:46.where there isn't a guard in charge Roughly 900 Aslef drivers

:12:47. > :12:49.who work for Southern voted Nearly 46% voted in favour,

:12:50. > :12:53.54% voted against. The union says they

:12:54. > :12:55.understand and support the decision by members

:12:56. > :12:57.and will now work to deliver a resolution in line

:12:58. > :12:59.with their expectations. they are doing their best to find

:13:00. > :13:04.a way forward with the unions. The RMT, which represents

:13:05. > :13:06.the guards, has already scheduled Joining us from our Brighton

:13:07. > :13:15.newsroom is Summer Dean from the Association

:13:16. > :13:23.of British Commuters. Very good morning to you, thank you

:13:24. > :13:27.for your time this morning. Just give us your reaction to the

:13:28. > :13:33.sequence of events yesterday and the rejection of this deal.

:13:34. > :13:38.Well, obviously the drivers have rejected the deal but I think what

:13:39. > :13:42.it really highlights is that the safety benchmarks aren't being met

:13:43. > :13:47.and I think that's the sort of situation that we're in. Obviously

:13:48. > :13:51.they voted, it's not up to me to vote, it's not up to any passenger

:13:52. > :13:54.to vote but as I say, it really highlights that drivers do have a

:13:55. > :14:00.concern about safety and they do have a concern about passengers and

:14:01. > :14:04.disabled passengers also. So on a practical level, for people like

:14:05. > :14:08.yourself who rely on the trains, next week there's another strike. To

:14:09. > :14:14.do a degree it's almost academic to commuters who the strike is by and

:14:15. > :14:19.next week it's the RMT, a strike by them, what is the impact? What has

:14:20. > :14:24.it been like and what will it be like once again for commuters? I

:14:25. > :14:27.think it's actually really sad that commuters have come to inspect a

:14:28. > :14:31.really poor service on Southern Rail, and that isn't something we

:14:32. > :14:36.should expect because we're still playing the same price -- to expect.

:14:37. > :14:40.But really, as I've said countless times before, disruption isn't just

:14:41. > :14:44.on strike days. Yes, of course we see disruption when the RMT strike

:14:45. > :14:49.and we see more disruption when Aslef, the drivers union, strike but

:14:50. > :14:54.we really know that disruption is every day due to the ongoing

:14:55. > :14:57.mismanagement of Southern Rail by the Department for Transport.

:14:58. > :15:01.Summer, we have this false dawn as it were, this moment where it looked

:15:02. > :15:05.like a deal could be reached. Now it's gone, who knows where it's

:15:06. > :15:10.going to go next, we know both sides say they want to carry on those

:15:11. > :15:17.talks. What do you want to see changing? How do you see this being

:15:18. > :15:21.moved forward? What we really need is a politics aside approach and I

:15:22. > :15:24.don't think that's a really radical thing to be calling for. We need

:15:25. > :15:28.passengers to be really put back at the heart of this whole situation.

:15:29. > :15:32.With no passengers there is no trains, no industry to run so really

:15:33. > :15:37.what we need to do is politics aside, say what is safe for

:15:38. > :15:41.passengers, how can we make sure a disabled person can turn up at a

:15:42. > :15:45.station and get on a train and get to where they want to go and also

:15:46. > :15:50.addressing the concerns by drivers. Of course drivers are concerned

:15:51. > :15:54.about safety. What we see now is drivers being personally liable if

:15:55. > :15:59.something goes wrong on a train. They face prosecution. So really

:16:00. > :16:04.politics aside, we need to look at, OK, how can this work, how can

:16:05. > :16:07.passengers be put at the centre of this again? And of course we're

:16:08. > :16:11.still calling for the Transport Minister Chris Grayling to step up

:16:12. > :16:14.within the Department for Transport, which is something that should have

:16:15. > :16:22.been done a very long time ago. Summer, thank you very much.

:16:23. > :16:25.Before we speak to Carol for the weather he's a sneak preview

:16:26. > :16:27.of something we'll be looking at later on Breakfast.

:16:28. > :16:30.The spectacular changing scenery of the Lake District.

:16:31. > :16:34.Filmmakers have been documenting a year in the life of the Lakes -

:16:35. > :16:36.and they've ended up with beautiful pictures like this

:16:37. > :16:49.We'll be seeing more after nine o'clock.

:16:50. > :16:58.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:16:59. > :17:08.Mainly cloudy day across most of the UK. Some exceptions to that. I'll

:17:09. > :17:15.day after a cold start across Scotland. This weather front is

:17:16. > :17:24.producing patchy rain at the moment. Either side of it, we have some fog

:17:25. > :17:31.around, some of which will be slow to clear. It could take a a big

:17:32. > :17:36.chunk of the morning before it goes. When the fog lifts there will be

:17:37. > :17:43.sunshine. Southern England, fog patches. North-east England,

:17:44. > :17:50.sunshine when it leaves. Across Wales and England, again, quite a

:17:51. > :17:57.bit of cloud around with one or two breaks. With the thicker cloud, the

:17:58. > :18:01.other end of weather front. It will pivot north so we will see more

:18:02. > :18:08.cloud arriving at we have the sunshine. The rain not particularly

:18:09. > :18:15.heavy and it will brighten up across England. If you are in an area with

:18:16. > :18:21.some sunshine and light breezes, it will feel quite spring like. Through

:18:22. > :18:26.the evening and overnight, we will still have showery outbreaks across

:18:27. > :18:32.Wales, the Midlands and possibly as far east as East Anglia. From the

:18:33. > :18:38.west, more persistent rain across north-west Scotland continuing

:18:39. > :18:44.through much of Saturday. As we head into the weekend, the mild theme

:18:45. > :18:53.will come in you. Temperatures easily into the 13 degrees. Rain in

:18:54. > :19:00.the north. In the Saturday, coming across north-west Scott on. As it

:19:01. > :19:04.sings into northern England, Northern Ireland and north Wales, it

:19:05. > :19:09.will weaken but behind it there will be bliss three showers. Quite a lot

:19:10. > :19:16.of cloud but it will break and then sunshine again. Generally we are

:19:17. > :19:21.looking at around 11- 12 degrees stop in the Sunday, we lose a lot of

:19:22. > :19:28.the fronts, pushing off into the North Sea, only to be replaced by a

:19:29. > :19:34.front coming in from the Atlantic. On Sunday, a lot of dry weather

:19:35. > :19:40.around, a lot of cloud, some breaks in the south-east but as the world

:19:41. > :19:50.front comes in, it will introduce more rain, the heaviest across the

:19:51. > :19:57.north-west. Four Monday and Tuesday, 16 - 17 for north-east Wales and

:19:58. > :20:01.possibly the Midlands. That is how it is looking at the moment.

:20:02. > :20:04.It's less than a week until voters in the Stoke-on-Trent Central

:20:05. > :20:12.The poll, on the 23rd February, is being seen as a key electoral

:20:13. > :20:14.test for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, whose party

:20:15. > :20:18.With voters across Stoke strongly backing Leave in last year's

:20:19. > :20:21.referendum, how much of an impact is Brexit likely to have?

:20:22. > :20:40.Graham Satchell went to the Potteries to find out.

:20:41. > :20:49.It is urban and working class and they have had a Labour MP since the

:20:50. > :20:59.1950s when the seat was elected. Labour. He has always been Labour.

:21:00. > :21:02.Always Labour. Speak to almost anyone here and they say the same

:21:03. > :21:10.thing. They have always voted Labour... That is what Labour was

:21:11. > :21:18.for. The manufacturing is gone. All gone. There is indecision,

:21:19. > :21:25.uncertainty. I might vote Labour, I might vote... Let's see how things

:21:26. > :21:31.go on. Why either hesitant support? Some feel ignored. They do nothing

:21:32. > :21:38.for you, nothing at all. They are going to do this and that but they

:21:39. > :21:54.do nothing. Nothing to hope for. Not very good. Hospital closures. It is

:21:55. > :22:03.a sad, really. Ukip sensed an opportunity. They voted heavily to

:22:04. > :22:10.leave the EU. 69.4% wanted out. One of the highest in the country. On

:22:11. > :22:16.her barge, Kay is making great cakes. You could not get more

:22:17. > :22:26.traditional spoke. How did you vote in the Brexit referendum? Out. I

:22:27. > :22:32.want to support of the NHS. It is pretty grounded. Who do you think

:22:33. > :22:38.you will vote for this time because back am not sure. I have not made my

:22:39. > :22:53.mind up. Her husband is also a traditional Labour voter. Ukip. They

:22:54. > :22:58.have a very good strong majority in Stoke-on-Trent. We have just been

:22:59. > :23:06.let down by Labour in the past few years. Something we heard again and

:23:07. > :23:12.again. I have not really looked into it. I do not normally when stuff

:23:13. > :23:17.like this comes around. It is not at the top of my pre-or at the least.

:23:18. > :23:23.Just 49% of people voted here, at the last election, the lowest in the

:23:24. > :23:28.country. They always vote Labour. Labour should win this seat but if

:23:29. > :23:31.what we found here is representative, it will be a win

:23:32. > :23:44.with little enthusiasm. Only half the food eaten in the UK

:23:45. > :23:52.comes from our farmers. but it is possible for us to become

:23:53. > :23:54.more self-sufficient? Sean is at New Covent Garden

:23:55. > :24:06.in London for us this morning. We also talk about the art of

:24:07. > :24:12.queueing. How long the queue is before you get irritated. Six people

:24:13. > :24:16.in front of you. If the queue gets longer behind you is also very

:24:17. > :24:22.annoying. Thank you for getting in touch. All queueing rules seem to

:24:23. > :24:31.get out the window when getting on the tube. When is a queue not a cue?

:24:32. > :24:39.One place it annoys me is queueing in paths. Decent staff know who to

:24:40. > :24:47.serve next. It is sideways as well as behind. It is difficult to

:24:48. > :24:53.negotiate. An Englishman, even if alone will perform an orderly queue

:24:54. > :24:59.of one. Nice things can happen in queues, she wants to say thank you

:25:00. > :25:06.to the lady with the heavy load at Aldi who let her get in front of

:25:07. > :25:14.her. I love it when that happens, she says in capital letters. If you

:25:15. > :25:22.just have one thing, you should let them in front of you. Do you have a

:25:23. > :25:28.cue for vegetables? I mean, a glorious array of fruit and veg this

:25:29. > :25:35.morning. You would do well to see these beautiful pairs grown here in

:25:36. > :25:39.the UK this time of year. Purple headed cauliflowers are you might

:25:40. > :25:46.get them here in the summer. Should we be trying to grow more food in

:25:47. > :25:52.the UK and that might mean changing our tastes. If you want to eat more

:25:53. > :26:00.of those, you might have to get used to it. If you want the stuff that

:26:01. > :26:04.survives in winter. A lot of what we spend is in restaurants and in staff

:26:05. > :26:08.we get at home. We will talk to Morrisons to see whether supermarket

:26:09. > :26:16.customers are willing to change their tastes all we are willing to

:26:17. > :26:21.pay a bit more. Earlier we saw lettuces grown in the UK but they

:26:22. > :26:27.were grown under glass houses. That will be the kind of stuff we are

:26:28. > :26:36.talking about. These are quite nice. These are Italian. How pretty

:26:37. > :26:40.allowe? They are now OK. There was a point with issues around Europe

:26:41. > :26:46.affecting what we had here. Plenty more on our website

:26:47. > :30:05.at the usual address. Now though it's back

:30:16. > :30:17.launched a ferocious attack on the media while defending his

:30:18. > :30:20.record during his first During an extraordinary press

:30:21. > :30:24.conference at the White House he insisted his administration

:30:25. > :30:26.was running like a fine tuned machine and told reporters

:30:27. > :30:45.their level of dishonesty Donald Trump sees himself as a

:30:46. > :30:48.saviour, he sees himself as an underdog and Donald Trump wants an

:30:49. > :30:52.enormous amount of credit for his victory over Hillary Clinton and

:30:53. > :30:57.rightfully so. But I think he's gotten that now and I think it's

:30:58. > :31:00.time for him to make the transition from campaign to actual president,

:31:01. > :31:01.and he just hasn't been able to do that.

:31:02. > :31:03.Ten British tourists are being treated in hospital

:31:04. > :31:06.in Norway after a speedboat hit the base of a water fountain.

:31:07. > :31:09.The incident happened in the harbour of the town

:31:10. > :31:11.of Harstad as a sightseeing trip returned to shore.

:31:12. > :31:13.Two people are reported to have been seriously injured.

:31:14. > :31:16.The Foreign Office says it is in touch with Norwegian authorities.

:31:17. > :31:19.The cause of the incident is not yet known.

:31:20. > :31:22.Former Prime Minister Tony Blair says he wants people to rise up

:31:23. > :31:26.He will say in a speech later that voters

:31:27. > :31:29.made their decisions without knowing the real damage that

:31:30. > :31:32.Downing Street has said it is "absolutely committed"

:31:33. > :31:44.Urgent talks to discuss the future of thousands of jobs in the British

:31:45. > :31:46.car industry have been held in Paris.

:31:47. > :31:48.The owners of Peugot are looking to take over

:31:49. > :31:51.the European arm of General motors, which owns two Vauxhall plants

:31:52. > :31:55.Business Secretary Greg Clark says he will remain in close contact

:31:56. > :31:58.with both firms as the deal progresses, but union officials have

:31:59. > :32:05.warned that protecting UK jobs must remain a priority.

:32:06. > :32:08.The French and the German governments are meeting and that

:32:09. > :32:12.will be to try and secure the future for their plants and we want to make

:32:13. > :32:19.sure that the UK is not sitting on the sidelines.

:32:20. > :32:21.A deal to end much of the long-running dispute

:32:22. > :32:24.on Southern Rail has been rejected by members of the train

:32:25. > :32:27.Under the proposed agreement, Southern would have been

:32:54. > :32:55.and filter bubbles, where people only heard opinions

:32:56. > :33:01.they already agreed with, were damaging public debate.

:33:02. > :33:04.It's not unusual to be asked for directions by someone from out

:33:05. > :33:11.Well, unless they happen to be driving a military helicopter.

:33:12. > :33:15.A lorry driver in Kazakhstan has captured

:33:16. > :33:18.the moment a pilot landed on a highway to ask for help

:33:19. > :33:26.The pilot asked how to get to a city in the north-west of the country,

:33:27. > :33:29.much to the amusement of the two lorry drivers who were talking

:33:30. > :33:37.It has to be said, looking at those images, the conditions look bad,

:33:38. > :33:43.clearly very snowy and visibility was poor. It's clearly a military

:33:44. > :33:48.helicopter, not just any helicopter, it looks quite sinister, doesn't it?

:33:49. > :33:53.Apparently we see him get back in. There we go. You can see the truck

:33:54. > :33:58.drivers pulled up, fortunately they could see him a long way in advance,

:33:59. > :34:01.the robe looks very straight and he gets his instructions, finds out

:34:02. > :34:09.where he's supposed to be -- the road. Thanks very much, hops back in

:34:10. > :34:12.and then he goes. Apparently he was taking part in a visual orientation

:34:13. > :34:19.exercise and he lost his bearings. Happens to the best of us!

:34:20. > :34:22.Presumably he failed that exercise! Presumably they have sophisticated

:34:23. > :34:25.navigation systems but because of the weather, that's the thing,

:34:26. > :34:34.because of the poor stability and the snow -- poor visibility. What

:34:35. > :34:37.have you got? We have got the Europa League, the second-tier competition

:34:38. > :34:41.but it can get you into the Champions League if you win but a

:34:42. > :34:41.mixed night for the English sides last night.

:34:42. > :34:44.Manchester United are well on their way to the last 16

:34:45. > :34:47.after a 3-0 win over St Etienne at Old Trafford.

:34:48. > :34:50.And it was a proud night for the Pogba family.

:34:51. > :34:53.against older brother Florentin of St Etienne.

:34:54. > :34:56.The rest of the family doing their best to support them both.

:34:57. > :34:59.It was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who stole the headlines, though.

:35:00. > :35:03.It's the first he scored for United and 35.

:35:04. > :35:05.And manager Jose Mourinho was happy with the result,

:35:06. > :35:09.Lack of concentration and when you don't have it

:35:10. > :35:22.So in the first half it was hard and even myself on the touchline,

:35:23. > :35:25.I felt that it was difficult, the communication, I needed

:35:26. > :35:29.the half-time so we were lucky, yes, to be winning at halftime 1-0.

:35:30. > :35:35.Spurs are 1-0 down in their tie, after they lost 1-0 away

:35:36. > :35:39.to Gent, a side in mid-table in the Belgian league.

:35:40. > :35:41.Tottenham were pretty poor for most of the game,

:35:42. > :35:48.Their chance to make amends comes at Wembley next Thursday.

:35:49. > :35:51.Mark Clattenburg, one of the Premier League's highest

:35:52. > :35:53.profile referees, is taking a job in Saudi Arabia.

:35:54. > :35:56.He's considered one of the best referees in the game.

:35:57. > :35:59.Last season he took charge of the finals in Euro 2016,

:36:00. > :36:10.His new role will involve helping Saudi referees,

:36:11. > :36:12.to improve their performance and he'll also take charge

:36:13. > :36:17.We showed you yesterday 15-year-old Jackson Page

:36:18. > :36:20.winning through to the third round of snooker's Welsh Open.

:36:21. > :36:23.I hate to tell you, but his run is over.

:36:24. > :36:25.World number four Judd Trump was just too strong

:36:26. > :36:28.for the local schoolboy, who'd had to get special permission

:36:29. > :36:31.Page lost 4-0 but he goes back to the classroom

:36:32. > :36:35.with winnings of ?3,500 and bragging rights.

:36:36. > :36:38.Well, once you win your first two everyone expects you to do more

:36:39. > :36:42.but obviously most people don't realise who you're playing as well.

:36:43. > :36:44.You know, when you're playing someone like Judd,

:36:45. > :36:48.at my age you're not going to get very close very often

:36:49. > :36:53.I need to do a lot of maturing and need to practise more to get

:36:54. > :37:02.Certainly one for the future, though, isn't he?

:37:03. > :37:04.And Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard proved

:37:05. > :37:07.she is a woman of her word by honouring a bet she lost

:37:08. > :37:11.Bouchard backed the Atlanta Falcons to win the Super Bowl.

:37:12. > :37:14.Student John Goehrke said she should go on a date with him

:37:15. > :37:18.Well, lose they did, and on a date they went

:37:19. > :37:28.I've got more news on this, it must have gone well, apparently they are

:37:29. > :37:31.going on a second date, maybe because he presented Bouchard with a

:37:32. > :37:38.pair of earrings from a very expensive jewellery shop. Really?

:37:39. > :37:41.Yeah. At the basketball match, there's this thing called Kiss

:37:42. > :37:47.Cam... Not just the earrings, he must be pretty nice. And he looks

:37:48. > :37:51.pretty good looking by all accounts! And there was the Kiss Cam at

:37:52. > :37:56.half-time, it goes round the audience, it went to focus in on

:37:57. > :38:00.them and they were going to oblige with a kiss but they spent too long

:38:01. > :38:06.at the VIP buffets so they weren't back at their seats in time. Must

:38:07. > :38:11.have been a good buffet! The law of the buffet! Have you got a thought

:38:12. > :38:14.on the texting thing? There's a thing in the newspapers saying a lot

:38:15. > :38:19.of families text each other when they're in the same house and new to

:38:20. > :38:26.admit to this. Downstairs making a tea early in the morning, and one of

:38:27. > :38:32.my daughters, I text her to say I'm awake, would you like a cup of tea?

:38:33. > :38:37.Then I will go in more gently on the weekend. Jun has got in touch saying

:38:38. > :38:41.I text my husband from bed to ask him to sort the rattle in the

:38:42. > :38:47.dishwasher as it was keeping me awake. This is one from someone who

:38:48. > :38:50.lives in a house of student teenagers, lists of texts they send,

:38:51. > :38:56.dinner is ready, turn down the volume, are you up, the film is

:38:57. > :39:03.starting. WhatsApp my brother-in-law to say could I have a beer. It seems

:39:04. > :39:07.it's not uncommon to lie in bed and ask for a tea. The alternative is to

:39:08. > :39:13.shout and then you wake the rest of the house. That's true. We will see

:39:14. > :39:18.you later on. We will text you when we need you next. But none of you

:39:19. > :39:20.have phones. Studio disciplined. Because we get so many texts.

:39:21. > :39:23.Buzzing all the time. Whether it's waiting for a bus,

:39:24. > :39:26.taking money out of a cash machine or doing the weekly shop,

:39:27. > :39:30.they all involve one of the most British things you can do,

:39:31. > :39:32.we're talking, of course, New research is trying to explain

:39:33. > :39:35.the science behind them and what queuing rules

:39:36. > :39:38.we Brits like to adhere to. We'll speak to psychologist

:39:39. > :39:40.Geoff Beattie shortly, but first Allison Freeman has been

:39:41. > :39:55.looking in to the history I do believe that a nationwide

:39:56. > :39:59.rising of the housewives would end this terrible curse of queueing.

:40:00. > :40:05.Without the British housewife this war could never have been one. We

:40:06. > :40:10.have suffered enough. Despite Mrs Lovelock's efforts, we're still a

:40:11. > :40:14.nation of Cuba's. In World War Two, queueing for food became associated

:40:15. > :40:18.with doing your bit for the country by fairly taking your turn. And now

:40:19. > :40:21.we queue from everything, for the bus to major sporting events like

:40:22. > :40:26.Wimbledon, where the ticket queue has a campsite with its own code of

:40:27. > :40:31.conduct. Don't want to perpetuate the stereotype of being British but

:40:32. > :40:36.I quite like it. I remember coming out of Charles de Gaulle to go for

:40:37. > :40:39.the Disney bus and falling out with some Germans because they were

:40:40. > :40:43.pushing in front of us and we were queueing very well. In America I

:40:44. > :40:48.guess you all barge together and go as one. If someone jumped the queue

:40:49. > :40:53.or grabbing items while they're in the queue, it's kind of a very

:40:54. > :41:00.British kind of anger, isn't it? It's a necessary evil. I work at a

:41:01. > :41:04.train station and people stop join the queue because that's what they

:41:05. > :41:08.meant to do. There's science behind it. Research says we don't like to

:41:09. > :41:13.join a Q is there more than six people in it and if there are six

:41:14. > :41:17.behind us we don't leave because we fear missing out. Also we get fed up

:41:18. > :41:21.if we have to queue for more than six minutes and we like six metres

:41:22. > :41:26.of space around us. And everyone has their own views on the best way to

:41:27. > :41:32.queue. I like old people, they like to talk, single male people with

:41:33. > :41:38.five items or less. A queue that is empty dust in case they open the

:41:39. > :41:44.empty one. When there's a big shop rather than a few small ones. It

:41:45. > :41:48.happens at my supermarket. You have to wait, there's nothing you can do.

:41:49. > :41:50.He might just have a point. Allison Freeman, BBC News.

:41:51. > :41:53.We're joined now by Geoff Beattie who is a professor of psychology

:41:54. > :42:02.It all seems to be the power of six, six minutes and you get fed up, six

:42:03. > :42:07.people behind you and you won't move queue is. Are we particular with our

:42:08. > :42:11.queueing systems in British? We're very particular for a very good

:42:12. > :42:15.reason, we don't like social and harassment and confrontation and if

:42:16. > :42:19.we have a nice orderly queue we all know what the rules are and we like

:42:20. > :42:23.to use because it appeals to the British sense of fair play, we may

:42:24. > :42:30.be a class ridden and hierarchical society but when it comes to

:42:31. > :42:34.queueing we're all equal, we don't like people to violate the rules and

:42:35. > :42:37.we like everyone to know those rules. What about when somebody

:42:38. > :42:40.breaks the rules, when they push in or inadvertently goes ahead of you

:42:41. > :42:44.not realising there's a queue? What we don't do is we don't confront

:42:45. > :42:49.them, we have that passive aggressive thing, we tut, we say

:42:50. > :42:53.well I never, we signal to people and we nonverbally bond with

:42:54. > :42:58.everyone else in the queue to form an outgroup against the violator. We

:42:59. > :43:02.have moral indignation which other countries don't have, they would say

:43:03. > :43:07.it is rule breaking and they would say something to the UK but in the

:43:08. > :43:17.UK we tend not to. Is that changing? I did baseball survey in the office

:43:18. > :43:21.this morning and people say they do call it out -- I did a small survey.

:43:22. > :43:24.Things are changing because we are a very multicultural, diverse society

:43:25. > :43:27.so the rules could be subtly changing but I like the clip you

:43:28. > :43:31.played, because queueing represents our finest hour, when we sat

:43:32. > :43:34.together as a nation. I like the guy in the train station where people

:43:35. > :43:39.joined a queue because there was a queue! The joke is that a British

:43:40. > :43:43.person will join a queue of one! There's not a passion, there are

:43:44. > :43:47.rules to it and this research shows how sometimes we weigh up... It's

:43:48. > :43:51.all about probability because we note use of frustrating and they can

:43:52. > :43:55.be stressful, that's why hotels put mirrors by the elevator is so you

:43:56. > :43:59.can look at yourself and passed the time in a different way -- elevator

:44:00. > :44:05.is. Psychologically decrease the stress. Disney publicises queue

:44:06. > :44:08.lengths which are over estimates because then we are pleasantly

:44:09. > :44:13.surprised by the queue being shorter than expected. A lot of it is about

:44:14. > :44:17.managing psychological expectations and if it speeds up towards the end

:44:18. > :44:21.we like that because that's what we remember about the queue. Everyone

:44:22. > :44:25.has their own bugbears, what about if someone is in the queue and then

:44:26. > :44:29.a whole bunch of other people join that person? There's one person

:44:30. > :44:33.ahead of you and five of their friends and the kids turn up and

:44:34. > :44:38.then there's 11. We hate that and what's interesting is watching the

:44:39. > :44:43.non-verbal signal in that goes on. We tend not to talk in queues, but

:44:44. > :44:49.what we do is we nonverbally signal. -- non-verbal signalling. What's

:44:50. > :44:54.really interesting is the ambiguity of the signal sent back to them,

:44:55. > :44:57.which is you have to kind of agree because you want to avoid

:44:58. > :45:00.confrontation but at the same time you're trying to signal disapproval.

:45:01. > :45:05.We have a whole set of complexity nor is we have to send to keep the

:45:06. > :45:10.orderliness and to stop conference confrontation and avoid social in

:45:11. > :45:14.Paris and. The other thing that has come out of the research, you're

:45:15. > :45:18.standing so close you don't talk. -- social embarrassment. We do stand

:45:19. > :45:23.very close to people in conversations. This research says it

:45:24. > :45:28.is six inches, which is within the intimate zone. It is too close for a

:45:29. > :45:32.conversation. You can't have a conversation and I contact with

:45:33. > :45:35.people six inches away so you have to step back. The problem with that

:45:36. > :45:40.is if you step back you're breaking the queue, you're leaving spaces for

:45:41. > :45:45.other people to come in and anything could happen, the world could fall

:45:46. > :45:50.apart! It's no wonder it's confusing people when they arise in this

:45:51. > :45:54.country, we all, as you say, seem to know these rules without ever

:45:55. > :45:58.discussing them -- arrive. Their universal rules throughout the

:45:59. > :46:04.country. In the US of course, each city has its own rules about

:46:05. > :46:11.queueing -- they are -- there are. There's no consistency. Carol, thank

:46:12. > :46:14.you. Any rules on queueing? Shop online, it's much easier, then you

:46:15. > :46:18.don't get into all this! My favourite queue is the one in the

:46:19. > :46:27.full Monty when they start singing along and the wiggle and so on!

:46:28. > :46:40.A mild start to the day, almost across the board. As we move into

:46:41. > :46:47.Belfast, Manchester and London, we are looking at seven. What is

:46:48. > :46:54.happening is we do have a weak weather front. Travelling across

:46:55. > :47:01.Scotland into the south-east is producing thicker cloud and spots of

:47:02. > :47:04.rain. On either side, fog for south-west England, parts of

:47:05. > :47:10.Scotland and northern England. Some will be slow to clear. Most of this

:47:11. > :47:16.ancient across north-east Scotland and north-east England. Across parts

:47:17. > :47:23.of south-west England, brightening up. A lot going on. A lot of cloud,

:47:24. > :47:30.some splashes of rain, nothing too heavy. Aberdeen hanging on to the

:47:31. > :47:36.sunshine at the longer is. Starting to cloud over but not completely. In

:47:37. > :47:44.Northern Ireland, spots of rain in the afternoon as for Cardigan Bay.

:47:45. > :47:49.Down towards the South Coast, still quite a bit of cloud with one or two

:47:50. > :47:56.breaks more notably towards the south-west. Overnight, another

:47:57. > :48:04.weather front coming our way. Rain for parts of Wales and possibly East

:48:05. > :48:09.Anglia. In Scotland, we will have the heaviest rain overnight. On to

:48:10. > :48:18.the weekend and the mild seemed continues. Some rain especially in

:48:19. > :48:23.the north. Persistent heavy rain across Scotland but as the front

:48:24. > :48:28.moves, it will weaken through Northern Ireland, northern England

:48:29. > :48:34.and northern Wales. In the north, we are looking at last we showers.

:48:35. > :48:43.South of that, cloud and sunshine and steel in the mild category. 9-

:48:44. > :48:49.12 in the sunshine possibly up to 14 degrees. As we live Saturday and in

:48:50. > :48:55.the Sunday, a warm front coming in from the Atlantic and milder air

:48:56. > :49:01.coming our way. On Sunday, a lot of dry weather, still some showers

:49:02. > :49:13.dotted around the west. More rain later. The early part of next week,

:49:14. > :49:25.up to 17 degrees in some parts of the UK. Are you going to be wearing

:49:26. > :49:38.my shorts! Could the answer after the shortages be in growing our own

:49:39. > :49:43.food? There is a lot. I struggling to get through it. We are used to

:49:44. > :49:48.nectarines and mandarins being important but three quarters of of

:49:49. > :49:55.our fruit is important. About half the food we eat is great in the UK

:49:56. > :50:02.but it is been looking at whether we should have more. We speak to the

:50:03. > :50:10.chairman of Morrison. To your customers want more British food? Of

:50:11. > :50:15.these very sophisticated supply chains have grown over the years and

:50:16. > :50:24.we have got used to low-cost, high-quality food. Customers will

:50:25. > :50:31.always say they have a propensity to buy local if given the opportunity

:50:32. > :50:37.but price has to be part of that. I think they are happy to buy British

:50:38. > :50:43.if we can get it organised at the right price. If you take something

:50:44. > :50:51.like these, pretty high hand. I no expert. But to what extent are they

:50:52. > :51:04.willing to pay more for it? Letters growing in glass houses, people

:51:05. > :51:09.wanting to do that? -- lettuce. They would prefer to buy local if they

:51:10. > :51:16.can. They like the providence of that. But you have to deliver it at

:51:17. > :51:23.the right price. With the uncertainty with trade deals, under

:51:24. > :51:27.Brexit and so forth, the currency has come down, making UK more

:51:28. > :51:33.competitive and it is a great time for UK manufacturers and produces to

:51:34. > :51:41.look to provide ball to supermarkets like Morrisons. The biggest one has

:51:42. > :51:49.been price is when you talk about Brexit. What is going to happen this

:51:50. > :51:55.is your? How much do you think the average basket is going to cost? It

:51:56. > :51:59.is hard to call those things. It is an intensely competitive market. The

:52:00. > :52:05.big four supermarkets have struggled in the wake of competition and in

:52:06. > :52:11.those circumstances every one will be working hard to keep prices at

:52:12. > :52:20.down. We close at two last resort? The currency will have any impact on

:52:21. > :52:25.costs and in the end price but I would not be too pessimistic.

:52:26. > :52:31.Everybody knows that nobody was to be putting up prices but there comes

:52:32. > :52:36.a point where you have to? You do and I think it is an opportunity for

:52:37. > :52:40.UK provider, manufacturers, producers, to step in and do more

:52:41. > :52:47.and be more competitive because of currency. Ball familiar vegetables

:52:48. > :52:51.here, are there certain things you see that you are stocking that are

:52:52. > :52:56.obviously going to have more of a price pressure? There has been...

:52:57. > :53:04.The obvious ones are the important things. We have not yet found a way

:53:05. > :53:10.of going bananas and citrus fruit in the UK say they will come under the

:53:11. > :53:14.most obvious pressure. In terms of what supermarkets can do to manage

:53:15. > :53:22.the price- whistle a deal between Tesco and the biggest wholesaler,

:53:23. > :53:28.are you happy with that deal? The big companies having a lot of

:53:29. > :53:32.influence. It is and I think the authorities will look at whether

:53:33. > :53:37.that is a good thing or not. It is not a deal we wanted to do. We are

:53:38. > :53:44.happy on focusing being a food retailer. We are reproduced 25% of

:53:45. > :53:51.what we sell in our factories so this is interesting today to look to

:53:52. > :53:57.local manufacturing to provide more for our supermarkets. Looking for

:53:58. > :54:04.more UK, more fresh and the opportunity to grow businesses. One

:54:05. > :54:11.of the highlights is how difficult it is. Morrisons sell a lot of lamb

:54:12. > :54:17.from the UK but the National farmers union highlighted you have a deal

:54:18. > :54:27.going on for imported lamb from New Zealand and a lot were not happy.

:54:28. > :54:33.Does it show how difficult it is for you to have everything from the UK?

:54:34. > :54:38.95% of Labour we sell is from the UK. The New Zealand lamb is in

:54:39. > :54:44.season at the moment so it was just topping the supply chain. Are we

:54:45. > :54:50.willing to change our tastes? A British customers willing to go

:54:51. > :54:57.British but not have the variety? The way to find out is to let them

:54:58. > :55:00.make the choice of themselves. Come up with innovative new products and

:55:01. > :55:10.let the customer decide. Thank you very much. The chair of Morrisons

:55:11. > :55:16.there. Are you not sure, a bit of a quiz, I have been struggling. Any

:55:17. > :55:24.idea what that is? I cannot really see it. A big lemon? Grapefruit. It

:55:25. > :55:32.is neither. I have forgotten what the name is. This is not going to

:55:33. > :55:38.work this quiz, he does not even know. You do not go to a pub quiz

:55:39. > :55:48.and they give you the answers straightaway. Chives. No, it is

:55:49. > :55:54.not... This is mugs beard. That is the kind of stuff they are selling.

:55:55. > :55:58.We will try to fill you in on what some of these fruit are called. It

:55:59. > :56:05.is not a big lemon, cannot remember what it was. Who knows if we want to

:56:06. > :56:15.try yet if we do not know what it is. A quiz with a difference. Quiz

:56:16. > :56:23.where we do not know the answer. Coming up, we're joined by father

:56:24. > :56:37.and son as they prepare to go on tour together. Thank you for all

:56:38. > :56:42.your messages. Many mum text me because I have my headphones on,

:56:43. > :00:02.dinner is ready. We will be back shortly.

:00:03. > :00:45.Good morning, it's Friday, 17th February.

:00:46. > :00:48.A group of British tourists are hospitalised after being thrown

:00:49. > :00:50.into freezing waters following a speedboat

:00:51. > :00:55.Urgent talks are held to secure the future of Vauxhall's two

:00:56. > :01:10.Good morning, half the food we eat in the UK is grown here but the

:01:11. > :01:14.other half, including most of our fruit and veg, is imported. I will

:01:15. > :01:15.be looking at whether we should be looking at growing more about what

:01:16. > :01:18.food here in the UK. In sport, it's a first

:01:19. > :01:20.hat-trick for the big Swede, Zlatan Ibrahimovich,

:01:21. > :01:25.since joining Manchester United last summer and put his

:01:26. > :01:27.side well on their way Also this morning, the Lake District

:01:28. > :01:32.as you've never seen it. We'll meet the people behind

:01:33. > :01:34.a documentary looking at how one of our best loved landscapes changes

:01:35. > :01:45.through the seasons. Some patchy fog this morning but for

:01:46. > :01:50.most cloudy but mild day with patchy rain in the West. The sunshine will

:01:51. > :01:57.be across the north and east of Scotland and North East it England.

:01:58. > :02:01.US President Donald Trump has launched a ferocious attack

:02:02. > :02:03.on the media while defending his record during his first

:02:04. > :02:07.During an extraordinary press conference at the White House,

:02:08. > :02:09.he insisted his administration was running like a fine

:02:10. > :02:11.tuned machine and told reporters their level of dishonesty

:02:12. > :02:18.Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, was there.

:02:19. > :02:24.At short notice, a news conference was announced to be

:02:25. > :02:30.Ostensibly to announce his new choice as Labor Secretary,

:02:31. > :02:33.but really it was to get a whole lot of his chest.

:02:34. > :02:36.Because the press, honestly, is out of control, the level

:02:37. > :02:39.And the idea that his administration was in meltdown?

:02:40. > :02:42.Nothing could be further from the truth.

:02:43. > :02:44.I turn on the TV, open the newspapers and I see

:02:45. > :02:58.This administration is running like a fine tuned machine.

:02:59. > :03:02.But how could he reconcile that with the travel ban that has been

:03:03. > :03:05.A question I asked after a little back and forth.

:03:06. > :03:08.Can I just ask you, thank you very much, Mr President...

:03:09. > :03:25.On the travel ban, would you accept that that was a good

:03:26. > :03:26.example of the smooth running of government...

:03:27. > :03:34.Let me tell you about the travel ban.

:03:35. > :03:38.We had a very smooth roll-out of the travel ban,

:03:39. > :03:41.but we had a bad court, got a bad decision.

:03:42. > :03:45.We're going to put in a new executive order next week sometime.

:03:46. > :03:48.The other thing that the president is in a rage about is the suggestion

:03:49. > :03:50.that he is in the pockets of the Russians.

:03:51. > :04:00.Donald Trump said his administration would crack down on the leaking

:04:01. > :04:04.And then, at the end, something you never see

:04:05. > :04:08.at a White House news conference, the president being heckled.

:04:09. > :04:11.If you have no connection to Russia, why won't you release your tax

:04:12. > :04:21.And we will have more analysis of that shortly.

:04:22. > :04:24.Ten British tourists are being treated in hospital

:04:25. > :04:28.in Norway after a speedboat hit the base of a water fountain.

:04:29. > :04:30.It happened in the harbour of the town of Harstad.

:04:31. > :04:32.Two people are reported to have been seriously injured.

:04:33. > :04:39.What started out as a pleasure cruise ended in a dramatic rescue.

:04:40. > :04:43.These British tourists were left in near-freezing waters for around

:04:44. > :04:45.15 minutes before being rescued after they'd been

:04:46. > :04:52.The party had been returning from a sightseeing trip off

:04:53. > :04:55.the shores of Harstad when one of the speedboats crashed

:05:02. > :05:03.caught up in the incident, which happened around

:05:04. > :05:12.All of the passengers have been brought to hospital

:05:13. > :05:17.We will contact all of them later to further investigate.

:05:18. > :05:20.We will also talk to the boat drivers and people

:05:21. > :05:38.A spokesman for the Surrey-based holiday company Inghams said

:05:39. > :05:41.the tourists all arrived in Norway on Wednesday and were due to return

:05:42. > :05:48.Tony Blair says he wants people to rise up and change

:05:49. > :05:53.In a speech later the former Prime Minister will say that voters

:05:54. > :05:56.made their decisions without knowing the real damage that leaving

:05:57. > :06:00.Downing Street has said it is "absolutely committed"

:06:01. > :06:03.to seeing Brexit through and today Theresa May will meet the French

:06:04. > :06:10.Our Political Correspondent, Tom Bateman, can tell us more.

:06:11. > :06:16.I know you have had a preview of what Tony Blair is going to say but

:06:17. > :06:20.what is the essence of it? We have always known he thinks people should

:06:21. > :06:27.have the opportunity to think again about Brexit but what we have today

:06:28. > :06:33.is a quite explicit rallying call for those who campaigned on the

:06:34. > :06:38.Remain site to get together and seek to try to change people's views. He

:06:39. > :06:47.going to say this. This is not the time for retreat.

:06:48. > :07:06.It is becoming clear that not everyone can even on the Remain

:07:07. > :07:10.side, agrees with this. One of the former bosses of the official Remain

:07:11. > :07:14.campaign said that the position should be not to fight Brexit but to

:07:15. > :07:19.work for the best version of it. And those who campaigned to leave the EU

:07:20. > :07:23.are even more critical with Conservative MP Iain Duncan-Smith

:07:24. > :07:27.saying this is bullying and lecturing from Tony Blair. You.

:07:28. > :07:30.Urgent talks to discuss the future of thousands of jobs in the British

:07:31. > :07:31.car industry have been held in Paris.

:07:32. > :07:36.The owner of Peugeot is looking to take over the European

:07:37. > :07:38.arm of General Motors, which owns Vauxhall plants

:07:39. > :07:43.Business Secretary Greg Clark says he will remain in close contact

:07:44. > :07:46.with both firms as the deal progresses, but union officials have

:07:47. > :07:54.warned that protecting UK jobs must remain a priority.

:07:55. > :07:58.We will talk about that more in a few minutes time.

:07:59. > :08:01.A meeting of G20 ministers in Germany is set to continue today,

:08:02. > :08:03.with the focus of discussions expected to shift

:08:04. > :08:12.and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov are amongst those

:08:13. > :08:17.The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, says he fears that

:08:18. > :08:19.millions of people who feel left behind by globalisation

:08:20. > :08:23.are withdrawing from what he calls the "connected world".

:08:24. > :08:25.In an interview with the BBC, he said fake news and "filter

:08:26. > :08:28.bubbles", where people only heard opinions they already agreed with,

:08:29. > :08:35.Some of the UK's biggest trade bodies have signed a letter

:08:36. > :08:37.to Parliament calling for Government proposals on business rates

:08:38. > :08:41.They say the changes, which take effect in April,

:08:42. > :08:43.will force companies to pay artificially high rates,

:08:44. > :08:47.even if they could prove the amount should be lower.

:08:48. > :08:53.Sean has more for us from London's New Covent Garden Market.

:08:54. > :09:03.Good morning. Good morning. Quite big changes in the running for a lot

:09:04. > :09:06.of small businesses and businesses like these wholesalers. Business

:09:07. > :09:10.rates are a bit like council tax or businesses, where companies pay the

:09:11. > :09:13.tax based on the rental value of the properties they are based in and a

:09:14. > :09:18.few other things. The last time these were captivated was in 2010.

:09:19. > :09:23.Since then, property rights have changed a lot so a lot of businesses

:09:24. > :09:26.have seen -- will the big changes. Three good as businesses are seeing

:09:27. > :09:29.rates staying the same or falling but it still means hundreds of

:09:30. > :09:33.thousands of businesses, particularly those with big property

:09:34. > :09:37.writers, have seen a rise. But the government wants to do, as part of

:09:38. > :09:40.the appeals process, it wants the valuation Tribunal to be able to

:09:41. > :09:45.look at those cases on an individual basis and if they think it is

:09:46. > :09:51.unreasonable, the appeal will be dismissed. What these businesses are

:09:52. > :09:55.saying is that they want the rules to be scrapped because they think it

:09:56. > :09:57.is unfair on a lot of businesses. Thank you.

:09:58. > :09:59.American scientists attempting to bring the woolly mammoth back

:10:00. > :10:00.from extinction believe they are close to

:10:01. > :10:04.Mammoths died out over 4,000 years ago but the team

:10:05. > :10:07.from Harvard University is using DNA retrieved from specimens found

:10:08. > :10:15.They claim that in the next two years they will be able to mix it

:10:16. > :10:23.with Asian elephants to create new hybrid embryos.

:10:24. > :10:28.But they admit a living, breathing mammoth is still a long way off.

:10:29. > :10:35.It is early stages. But it is quite a thought.

:10:36. > :10:37.Press conferences by the President of the United States are

:10:38. > :10:44.Important issues are covered calmly and with politeness.

:10:45. > :10:46.But that wasn't the tone during the 75 minutes that

:10:47. > :10:49.Donald Trump spoke to the media at the White House last night.

:10:50. > :10:57.Earlier I spoke to political analyst Eric Ham, in Washington.

:10:58. > :11:01.And I asked him if he thought Trump had a point when he said the media

:11:02. > :11:07.Donald Trump and the press are actually living in two

:11:08. > :11:13.Donald Trump sees himself as a saviour.

:11:14. > :11:15.He sees himself as an underdog, and Donald Trump wants an enormous

:11:16. > :11:18.amount of credit for his victory over Hillary Clinton,

:11:19. > :11:27.But I think he has got that now, and I think it's time for him

:11:28. > :11:30.to make the transition from campaigner to actual president,

:11:31. > :11:34.He does sort of really take on the press, doesn't he?

:11:35. > :11:36.We saw that in that press conference last night.

:11:37. > :11:44.Where does this end, and where does the analysis and the truth end?

:11:45. > :11:50.Well, Donald Trump is a known fighter.

:11:51. > :11:55.What you have to understand about Donald Trump is,

:11:56. > :11:57.Donald Trump is actually attuned to the media.

:11:58. > :11:59.He has practically grown up in one of the toughest media markets

:12:00. > :12:03.in the world in New York, so he knows how to engage the media,

:12:04. > :12:06.but I think he has gone way overboard right now.

:12:07. > :12:10.This is the President of the United States.

:12:11. > :12:14.There are a number of issues on his plate right now that he could have

:12:15. > :12:16.addressed in that press conference today, but unfortunately,

:12:17. > :12:21.We got nothing on his plan for Obamacare.

:12:22. > :12:24.We got nothing regarding his plan for a comprehensive Russia policy.

:12:25. > :12:29.There are a number of issues that he can be addressing,

:12:30. > :12:33.but he's so aggrieved by what he believes is the slights

:12:34. > :12:39.by the media, and rightfully so, there are gaping holes in this

:12:40. > :12:41.administration that are very dangerous and questions that

:12:42. > :12:44.need to be answered, and the media are going to go

:12:45. > :12:52.He does say he reads the media again and according to what he reads,

:12:53. > :12:59.He said nothing is further from the truth, though.

:13:00. > :13:02.Well, so far, the Trump administration has been in office

:13:03. > :13:05.for less than 30 days, and already, we've seen two

:13:06. > :13:12.We do know that the knives are out within his inner circle.

:13:13. > :13:15.We know that he is having a very difficult time staffing

:13:16. > :13:25.Keep in mind that there are 4,000 political appointees that he needs

:13:26. > :13:30.to make and right now, we know that he is very far

:13:31. > :13:32.behind President Obama and where he was in 2008 in staffing

:13:33. > :13:37.So Donald Trump has a long way to go and quite frankly,

:13:38. > :13:39.he is not running at full capacity right now.

:13:40. > :13:47.Let's talk about the performance from his supporters' point of view.

:13:48. > :13:50.This is why he was voted in in many ways, because of this

:13:51. > :13:56.Today, that press conference was him speaking directly to his supporters.

:13:57. > :14:06.They want to see Donald Trump going after the media, because he,

:14:07. > :14:09.along with the supporters, see the media as an elite,

:14:10. > :14:20.And that's going to be a major problem for him going forward,

:14:21. > :14:23.because he has to govern for the entire country,

:14:24. > :14:28.not just for those who elected him, but for the entire country.

:14:29. > :14:31.So eventually, you wonder, how long will congressional Republicans stand

:14:32. > :14:39.It's so interesting to see it, because it's really clear that

:14:40. > :14:42.Donald Trump and the media in that room have a pretty

:14:43. > :14:49.So what happens about accountability, about fact checking?

:14:50. > :14:57.I think we're going to continue to see this problem.

:14:58. > :15:02.One area where he could have trouble is when there are major issues

:15:03. > :15:04.that Donald Trump wants to get public support.

:15:05. > :15:07.We saw that with President Obama often.

:15:08. > :15:10.He would go to the media, and he would push his ideas

:15:11. > :15:13.to the media and have them address those issues.

:15:14. > :15:17.So the question will be, can Donald Trump actually get

:15:18. > :15:20.members of the media who will go out and talk about some

:15:21. > :15:29.That is where we could see real problems with this administration,

:15:30. > :15:33.because right now, we're seeing a dwindling of his support from key

:15:34. > :15:39.areas that he is going to need - the media, congressional Republicans

:15:40. > :15:42.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:15:43. > :15:49.President Donald Trump has accused the media

:15:50. > :15:52.of showing hatred towards him as he defended his administration's

:15:53. > :15:57.Several British tourists have been taken to hospital

:15:58. > :16:00.after a speed-boat crashed in Norway - throwing at least ten

:16:01. > :16:19.Later this morning, we will see the film that has been shot of a year in

:16:20. > :16:25.the Lake District. It is following the seasons. We can see a bit of it

:16:26. > :16:28.now. Beautiful images, things. They have basically been watching the

:16:29. > :16:34.Lake District as it unfolds over the seasons. It looks stunning. We will

:16:35. > :16:39.speak to somebody who lives there later and also someone behind this

:16:40. > :16:43.film. We are always interested in how the seasons change. Carol, I

:16:44. > :16:51.think this morning is evidence of things getting a little warmer.

:16:52. > :16:55.There is a springlike feel. Yes, you are right. It is a cloudy start to

:16:56. > :17:02.the day for many parts of the UK, but it certainly is mild. We have a

:17:03. > :17:06.weak weather front draped across Scotland, through the north of Wales

:17:07. > :17:10.and the Midlands and down into the south-east. It is producing some

:17:11. > :17:14.spots of rain, nothing too heavy. On either side of it, there is patchy

:17:15. > :17:19.fog across south-west England, parts of Scotland and northern England.

:17:20. > :17:22.This will clear, and then it will be the north-east of Scotland and

:17:23. > :17:27.north-east of England that see the lion's share of the sunshine. But

:17:28. > :17:30.that weather front could move northwards and will produce more

:17:31. > :17:37.cloud. It will be the extreme east that hangs onto the sunshine. By the

:17:38. > :17:39.afternoon, our weather front is in the heart of Scotland, still

:17:40. > :17:45.producing some spots of rain. Aberdeen hangs onto the sunshine. It

:17:46. > :17:54.is the same across northern England. Still the odd pocket of some around.

:17:55. > :17:59.-- your pocket of fog around. For the rest of England and the rest of

:18:00. > :18:03.Wales, it will be predominantly cloudy, with one or two exceptions

:18:04. > :18:07.in the West, where we will see a bit of sunshine. This evening, we will

:18:08. > :18:10.still have that weak weather front producing the odd splash of rain

:18:11. > :18:14.across Wales. You might see it towards East Anglia, but it will be

:18:15. > :18:18.replaced by a new weather front coming into the West, introducing

:18:19. > :18:22.more persistent rain across north-west Scotland. Into the

:18:23. > :18:27.weekend, the mild theme continues. There will be sunny intervals and we

:18:28. > :18:33.will hang on to rain at times in the north-west. First thing on Saturday

:18:34. > :18:38.morning, it is still heavy and persistent across north-west

:18:39. > :18:41.Scotland. But as it sinks across Northern Ireland and into northern

:18:42. > :18:47.England, it will be a weakening feature. It will still be wet, but

:18:48. > :18:51.not as heavy. Behind it, blustery showers. Some sunny intervals for

:18:52. > :18:55.Northern Ireland, and ahead of that weather front, quite a bit of cloud

:18:56. > :19:00.across England and Wales. But there will be some breaks. If you are in

:19:01. > :19:06.the sunshine, it will feel quite springlike. From Saturday night into

:19:07. > :19:11.Sunday, a new weather front comes into the West. That will introduce

:19:12. > :19:15.rain later in the day, but most of us start Sunday on a cloudy note. We

:19:16. > :19:21.will gradually see the cloud break and sunshine will develop,

:19:22. > :19:25.especially in some eastern areas. That weather front will bring some

:19:26. > :19:29.heavy rain and it will be blustery, but still mild. And it is going to

:19:30. > :19:41.get even milder as we had from Monday into Tuesday.

:19:42. > :19:49.So if you like it that bit warmer, this comes into the exceptionally

:19:50. > :19:51.mild category in meteorology at this time of year. We are in for a treat,

:19:52. > :19:57.but it's not going to last. Back to one of our main

:19:58. > :19:59.stories this morning. Business secretary Greg Clark has

:20:00. > :20:02.held talks in London and Paris in the last 24 hours

:20:03. > :20:04.following confirmation that Vauxhall owner General Motors may

:20:05. > :20:06.sell its European operations General Motors' Opel division,

:20:07. > :20:10.which includes the Vauxhall brand, is headquartered in Germany and has

:20:11. > :20:13.factories in five other countries, PSA, which owns Peugeot, Citroen

:20:14. > :20:26.and DS, is headquartered in France. If the deal goes ahead,

:20:27. > :20:29.it would make PSA the second-largest car maker in Europe,

:20:30. > :20:31.with 16% of the market. There are 35,000 people

:20:32. > :20:33.across in retail and manufacturing That includes 4,500

:20:34. > :20:41.employees in factories Another 7,000 people work

:20:42. > :20:48.in the supply chain in the UK. We're joined by Professor David

:20:49. > :21:01.Bailey from Aston Business School, At the heart of this is the fact

:21:02. > :21:07.that Vauxhall, currently owned by General Motors, could be sold to a

:21:08. > :21:11.French company. What are the implications of that for workers

:21:12. > :21:15.here? Well, Peugeot are looking to grow in size. They want to take over

:21:16. > :21:18.General Motors to achieve what they call economy is of scale and to

:21:19. > :21:23.access technology. But to make that stack up, they will look at putting

:21:24. > :21:27.costs. That could come to buying components, but it will also be

:21:28. > :21:30.about plant closures. It will be inevitable that if this deal goes

:21:31. > :21:35.ahead, there will be planned closures in Europe in coming years.

:21:36. > :21:50.The question is, where will the axe fall? The plants in the

:21:51. > :21:54.UK are very efficient. Managers and workers have pulled out all the

:21:55. > :21:56.stops in recent years to make them successful and flexible and get

:21:57. > :21:59.costs down. But we have very flexible Labour market rules in the

:22:00. > :22:01.UK. It is easy to fire workers. It also causes considerable uncertainty

:22:02. > :22:03.over our relationship with Europe. If you add that uncertainty in, it

:22:04. > :22:06.raises a question over whether the plans will remain open in the UK in

:22:07. > :22:10.the medium-term. So what can be done to emphasise the importance of those

:22:11. > :22:17.operations in the UK, or make them more valuable to PSA if they do that

:22:18. > :22:20.takeover? In a sense, the UK Government is on the sidelines.

:22:21. > :22:25.Remember, the French government have a stake in Peugeot. The German

:22:26. > :22:27.government is going all to protect plants and research in Germany. They

:22:28. > :22:32.support their industry in lots of ways through things like part-time

:22:33. > :22:36.wage subsidies, so you have two government is very omitted to

:22:37. > :22:39.manufacturing and the automotive industry. They are meeting this

:22:40. > :22:42.weekend to discuss the merger, and there is an issue about the British

:22:43. > :22:50.government being left on the side of this unfolds. PSA are saying, we are

:22:51. > :22:53.getting assurances from General Motors and Peugeot -- the government

:22:54. > :22:59.are saying they are getting insurance. But that has meant

:23:00. > :23:02.nothing in the past. The big decision will be made in 2018 about

:23:03. > :23:07.where to locate the production of the next Astra model, due to be

:23:08. > :23:10.built in 2021. At that point, the British government will have to be

:23:11. > :23:17.active in supporting the car industry in the UK and making the UK

:23:18. > :23:21.and attractive place to invest. And does Brexit and what will happen in

:23:22. > :23:23.the future have a part to play in the negotiation? This is a French

:23:24. > :23:29.company and you talked about the ties with Germany. Is Brexit part of

:23:30. > :23:34.the factors that will be part of the decision-making process? Very much

:23:35. > :23:38.so. Two factors straightaway. We have seen a big depreciation in the

:23:39. > :23:42.value of sterling since the Brexit vote. That means components imported

:23:43. > :23:44.into the UK to places like Ellesmere Port have become more expensive.

:23:45. > :23:50.General Motors have talked about extreme trillion dollar headwind

:23:51. > :23:53.negative effect from that depreciation. Secondly, the decision

:23:54. > :23:58.on where to locate the next Astra model will be due in 2018, slap bang

:23:59. > :24:01.in the middle of our article 50 negotiations. Great uncertainty of

:24:02. > :24:04.the future of our trading relationship with Europe. The

:24:05. > :24:06.government has said the UK is leaving the single market. We don't

:24:07. > :24:13.know what the trading relationship will be in the future. Is the new

:24:14. > :24:19.entity, the Peugeot- General Motors Alliance, going to locate production

:24:20. > :24:23.in the UK, given that uncertainty? Professor, thank you for your time.

:24:24. > :24:26.Only half the food eaten in the UK comes from our farmers -

:24:27. > :24:36.Sean is at a market in London for us this morning.

:24:37. > :24:43.I am not sure whether he has and said Leave remembered the answers to

:24:44. > :24:50.his own quiz! Of course I have. This will be a three-minute education on

:24:51. > :24:54.these vegetables. This is a pak choi, imported like three quarters

:24:55. > :25:00.of our fruit and veg. We get more of our eggs and meat and stuff like

:25:01. > :25:04.that. Beautiful tomatoes here this morning. Lovely Italian produce.

:25:05. > :25:12.That is where most of this is from, Italy, and there is a report out

:25:13. > :25:16.today. Tim, you authored this report looking at whether we should grow

:25:17. > :25:21.more British food. Can we? We certainly can. We will never replace

:25:22. > :25:25.the sorts of things we have here. But with apples and other fruit and

:25:26. > :25:33.vegetables, we can grow and eat more of those. I am not saying we should

:25:34. > :25:36.be self-sufficient. We will never be self-sufficient, but how do we

:25:37. > :25:40.stimulate our local farming economy so we have a nice countryside and

:25:41. > :25:45.trust our supply chains to deliver food that is less wasteful? We can

:25:46. > :25:49.do a range of different things. Before I move onto more complicated

:25:50. > :25:56.veg, is that a big Swede or turned? Looks like a turnip. To answer your

:25:57. > :26:07.questions from the we have Helen from new Covent Garden market. That

:26:08. > :26:10.is not a big lemon, is it? It is a type of lemon, but when you cut it,

:26:11. > :26:18.it is mainly kissed, there was hardly any flesh inside. You use

:26:19. > :26:24.that in cooking. A lot of stuff here is used in cooking. And this?

:26:25. > :26:30.Italian sea vegetable. You could use it like you reduce samphire. Why is

:26:31. > :26:37.it called monk's beard? Because it looks like a green monk's beard! I

:30:39. > :30:42.During an extraordinary press conference at the White House

:30:43. > :30:46.he insisted his administration was running like a fine

:30:49. > :30:55.Donald Trump sees himself as a saviour, he sees himself

:30:56. > :31:01.as an underdog and Donald Trump wants an enormous amount of credit

:31:02. > :31:03.for his victory over Hillary Clinton and rightfully so.

:31:04. > :31:07.But I think he's gotten that now and I think it's time for him

:31:08. > :31:10.to make the transition from campaign to actual president, and he just

:31:24. > :31:26.made their decisions without knowing the real damage that leaving

:31:27. > :31:29.Downing Street has said it is absolutely committed

:31:30. > :31:34.Ten British tourists are being treated in hospital

:31:35. > :31:38.in Norway after a speedboat hit the base of a water fountain.

:31:39. > :31:41.The incident happened in the harbour of the town of Harstad

:31:42. > :31:44.as a sightseeing trip returned to shore.

:31:45. > :31:48.Two people are reported to have been seriously injured.

:31:49. > :31:51.The Foreign Office says it is in touch with Norwegian authorities.

:31:52. > :31:55.The cause of the incident is not yet known.

:32:05. > :32:09.is looking to take over the European arm of General motors,

:32:10. > :32:12.which owns Vauxhall plants at Luton and Ellesmere Port.

:32:13. > :32:14.Business Secretary Greg Clark says he will remain in close contact

:32:15. > :32:17.with both firms as the deal progresses, but union officials have

:32:18. > :32:20.warned that protecting UK jobs must remain a priority.

:32:21. > :32:23.The French and the German governments are meeting and that

:32:24. > :32:27.will be to try and secure the future for their plants and we want to make

:32:38. > :32:41.Firefighters in Australia are struggling to contain a grass fire

:32:42. > :32:45.that's destroyed at least 15 homes in New South Wales. Lightning

:32:46. > :32:49.strikes during storms are thought to have triggered many of the fires. No

:32:50. > :32:54.members of the public have been injured. People have been told it is

:32:55. > :32:55.too late to try to leave the area and are being advised to seek

:32:56. > :33:03.shelter from the heat. It's not unusual to be asked

:33:04. > :33:06.for directions by someone from out Well, unless they happen to be

:33:07. > :33:10.driving a military helicopter. A lorry driver in Kazakhstan has

:33:11. > :33:13.captured the moment a pilot landed on a highway to ask for help

:33:14. > :33:20.after apparently losing his way. The pilot asked how to get to a city

:33:21. > :33:23.in the the north-west of the country, much

:33:24. > :33:36.to the amusement of I think he then gets the directions

:33:37. > :33:39.and off they go. Did he leave the helicopter just running while he

:33:40. > :33:43.hopped out and got the directions? And then jumped back in and took off

:33:44. > :33:48.again? You are right, I didn't know whether it was the pilot or

:33:49. > :33:58.co-pilot. I assumed it was the co-pilot. It looked like he got

:33:59. > :34:04.straight in and it took off. Which side is the steering wheel?

:34:05. > :34:08.Coming up here on Breakfast this morning.

:34:09. > :34:10.Breast cancer affects one in eight women in the UK.

:34:21. > :34:23.Chesney joins us with his father, Chip, as they prepare to go

:34:24. > :34:31.And after 9.00am, it's been a turbulent 12 months

:34:32. > :34:37.We'll be meeting the men who've been filming a year in the life of one

:34:38. > :34:52.Mike's here right now. It's a small world sometimes. Chesney. Just

:34:53. > :35:00.explain. I did a panto a few years ago. I did get to sing with him on

:35:01. > :35:08.stage. Poor audience! Was it a duet? A little bit. And I think he put a

:35:09. > :35:09.custard pie in my face. Good to have a catch-up with him!

:35:10. > :35:19.Moving on quickly. Manchester United are well

:35:20. > :35:23.on their way, to the last 16 after a 3-0 win over St Etienne

:35:24. > :35:28.at Old Trafford. And it was a proud night

:35:29. > :35:33.for the Pogba family - Manchester United's Paul lining up

:35:34. > :35:35.against older brother The rest of the family doing

:35:36. > :35:42.their best to support them both. It was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who stole

:35:43. > :35:47.the headlines, though - And manager Jose Mourinho

:35:48. > :35:51.was happy with the result - Lack of concentration

:35:52. > :35:56.and when you don't have it So in the first half it was hard

:35:57. > :36:03.and even myself on the touchline, I felt that it was difficult,

:36:04. > :36:06.the communication, I needed the half-time so we were lucky, yes,

:36:07. > :36:10.to be winning at half-time 1-0. Spurs are 1-0 down in their tie

:36:11. > :36:20.after they lost 1-0 away to Ghent - a side in mid-table

:36:21. > :36:23.in the Belgian league. Tottenham were pretty poor for most

:36:24. > :36:26.of the game, by all accounts. Their chance to make amends comes

:36:27. > :36:36.at Wembley next Thursday. We showed you yesterday 15-year-old

:36:37. > :36:39.Jackson Page winning through to the third

:36:40. > :36:41.round of snooker's Welsh Open. I hate to tell you,

:36:42. > :36:43.but his run is over. World number four Judd Trump

:36:44. > :36:46.was just too strong for the local schoolboy, who'd had to get special

:36:47. > :36:48.permission to miss lessons. Page lost 4-0, but he goes

:36:49. > :36:51.back to the classroom with winnings of ?3,500

:36:52. > :37:06.from his fantastic journey. When you win the first two everyone

:37:07. > :37:11.expects you to do more. Most people don't realise who you are playing,

:37:12. > :37:16.playing someone like Judd you are not going to get close often unless

:37:17. > :37:21.you play really well. A lot of maturing and need to practise more

:37:22. > :37:24.to get to that standard. One for the future certainly.

:37:25. > :37:27.And Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard proved

:37:28. > :37:30.she is a woman of her word by honouring a bet she lost

:37:31. > :37:35.Bouchard backed the Atlanta Falcons to win the Super Bowl.

:37:36. > :37:39.Student John Goehrke said she should go on a date with him if they lost.

:37:40. > :37:42.Well, lose they did, and on a date they went -

:37:43. > :37:46.It must've gone well, because apparently they're

:37:47. > :37:55.going on a second date - possibly because Goehrke presented

:37:56. > :38:05.Bouchard with a pair of expensive earrings!

:38:06. > :38:13.The kiss-cam was meant to go to them but they went to the buffet.

:38:14. > :38:27.Thank you very much. It is less than a week until voters

:38:28. > :38:30.in the Stoke-on-Trent central constituency choose their new MP.

:38:31. > :38:35.The poll is being seen as a key electoral test for Labour leader

:38:36. > :38:41.whose party is defending the seat. With voters strongly backing Leave,

:38:42. > :38:47.how much of an impact is Brexit likely to have? Graham Satchell went

:38:48. > :38:52.to the skat potteries to find out. This is pretty safe

:38:53. > :38:53.Labour territory. It is urban and working class

:38:54. > :38:56.and they have had a Labour MP here since 1950 when the seat

:38:57. > :38:58.was first created. Speak to almost anyone

:38:59. > :39:16.here and they say the same thing. I've had enough of Labour

:39:17. > :39:19.because there's no ports, There is indecision,

:39:20. > :39:29.uncertainty in the air. They do nothing for

:39:30. > :39:44.you, nothing at all. They are going to do this they're

:39:45. > :39:47.going to do that and the other Immigration, Brexit, Europe -

:39:48. > :40:11.key factors in this by-election. In the referendum, Stoke voted

:40:12. > :40:13.heavily to leave the EU. On her barge, Kay

:40:14. > :40:24.is making oat cakes. You could not get more

:40:25. > :40:26.traditional Stoke. How did you vote in

:40:27. > :40:31.the Brexit referendum? Out.

:40:32. > :40:36.I just look at the NHS. Who do you think you will

:40:37. > :40:44.vote for this time. Her husband is also

:40:45. > :40:51.a traditional Labour voter. They have a very good strong

:40:52. > :41:05.majority in Stoke-on-Trent. We have just been let down by Labour

:41:06. > :41:12.so much in the past few years. We end our visit at the ski slopes

:41:13. > :41:15.and something we heard I do not normally when stuff

:41:16. > :41:25.like this comes around. It is not at the top

:41:26. > :41:28.of my priority list. At the last general election,

:41:29. > :41:30.just 49% of people voted here, Labour should win this seat

:41:31. > :41:41.but if what we found here is representative, it will be

:41:42. > :41:44.a win with little enthusiasm. There are ten candidates

:41:45. > :41:51.standing in the by-election in Stoke-on-Trent Central next

:41:52. > :41:53.Thursday. You can find out more about them -

:41:54. > :41:56.and their policies - Over 50,000 women are diagnosed

:41:57. > :42:03.with breast cancer every year in the UK and getting an early

:42:04. > :42:05.diagnosis is vital Now radiowave technology

:42:06. > :42:14.is being trialled which could offer a less painful and more accurate way

:42:15. > :42:17.to spot the early signs, Melanie White could never

:42:18. > :42:23.face having a mammogram. I was very tender on certain parts

:42:24. > :42:26.of my body for years It is the way they say, "You may

:42:27. > :42:32.experience some discomfort." Tell the truth, "It's

:42:33. > :42:34.painful, isn't it?" Thanks to this machine,

:42:35. > :42:38.she's now been able Maria, as it's known,

:42:39. > :42:49.has got transmitters and receivers arranged under a ceramic cup,

:42:50. > :43:06.which the breast sits in. I said I know about this radar

:43:07. > :43:09.thing. People have got to want to go back.

:43:10. > :43:12.It is been built on technologies similar to ground-penetrating radar

:43:13. > :43:21.One in five cancers are not detected through mammograms and they also use

:43:22. > :43:26.radiation so for young women in particular you have to come back

:43:27. > :43:29.year on year and doctors have to consider whether it is worth

:43:30. > :43:33.A recent study has shown that this radio wave technology to be

:43:34. > :43:39.And now doctors are about to start a second clinical trial to find out

:43:40. > :43:42.if it could even be safer for younger women.

:43:43. > :43:45.It could save lives eventually because one of the difficulties

:43:46. > :43:47.with mammograms, when you are younger, they tend to be dense

:43:48. > :43:52.This is different, the density does not matter.

:43:53. > :43:59.So in a young patient with denser tissue, this machine picks up

:44:00. > :44:02.as well as it would do a patient that didn't have

:44:03. > :44:07.It is like having a good meal in a restaurant,

:44:08. > :44:12.Melanie is encouraging other women to take part in this new clinical

:44:13. > :44:15.trial where it is also hoped doctors can find out how well patients

:44:16. > :44:25.Let's talk now to Eluned Hughes, who is head of public health

:44:26. > :44:32.and information at Breast Cancer Now.

:44:33. > :44:39.Listening to Melanie, the lady we saw on the report, she said

:44:40. > :44:43.brilliant, painless, safe. That sounds like a glowing

:44:44. > :44:46.recommendation, what are your thoughts? It is interesting, at the

:44:47. > :44:52.moment mammograms are the most effective method of diagnosing

:44:53. > :44:55.breast cancer early, but this looks at whether it could be better in

:44:56. > :44:59.some of the ways where we know mammograms maybe not as good.

:45:00. > :45:05.Forward with dense breasts where we know it is more difficult to see a

:45:06. > :45:09.change on an x-ray, this could be able to spot a change -- for women

:45:10. > :45:15.with dense breasts. Because it does not compress the breasts it could be

:45:16. > :45:19.more comfortable for women. They are painful? That is one of the risks,

:45:20. > :45:23.people feel pain in different ways and it is quite short lived but it

:45:24. > :45:29.is not necessarily a comfortable procedure. Is this the way forward,

:45:30. > :45:34.some cancers are still not picked up by mammograms? It is really early

:45:35. > :45:42.days to say how useful it will be, at the moment it is just a clinic

:45:43. > :45:44.setting where somebody has already spotted an unusual change, to see if

:45:45. > :45:47.it can be as effective as a mammogram in terms of diagnosing

:45:48. > :45:52.about change. We are yet to see if it will work in screening for

:45:53. > :45:55.possible breast cancer, but it is really important to look at the

:45:56. > :46:00.techniques of diagnosing cancer early and making sure that if women

:46:01. > :46:04.need treatment they can get it as soon as possible. Looking at some of

:46:05. > :46:11.the statistics from your own charity, 1000 women still die of

:46:12. > :46:15.breast cancer every month in the UK. The issue, is it about the issue you

:46:16. > :46:20.mentioned of early diagnosis, people checking and seeking help early? We

:46:21. > :46:24.know early diagnosis is a big factor in terms of survival, the sooner

:46:25. > :46:32.breast cancer is picked up, the easier it is to treat. For those

:46:33. > :46:36.women who maybe don't do as well, so sometimes older women, women with

:46:37. > :46:40.more unusual signs and symptoms, they tend to be picked up a little

:46:41. > :46:44.bit later. It is about everybody knowing that breast cancer is

:46:45. > :46:49.something important to be on the lookout for, check regularly, know

:46:50. > :46:54.what is normal for you and if you spot anything unusual, go to your

:46:55. > :46:58.GP, get it checked out and go to your regular mammograms, women over

:46:59. > :47:05.50 are invited for screening every three years. What is the take-up, do

:47:06. > :47:09.people go? About seven in ten people take up that invitation. There are

:47:10. > :47:13.some concerns about that declining and we need to work out exactly why

:47:14. > :47:18.that is, it may be because of concern about the risk and benefits,

:47:19. > :47:23.it might be because of people not being able to change an appointment

:47:24. > :47:26.if it does not work for them or not knowing it is important. Some people

:47:27. > :47:29.are put off because it is painful, it is working with women and the

:47:30. > :47:37.screening service to make sure it works for them. Because we know the

:47:38. > :47:42.benefits outweigh the risks, making sure women attend if it is something

:47:43. > :47:51.they want to do. Thank you very much, Eluned Hughes from Breast

:47:52. > :47:55.Cancer Now. Carol is talking about warmer weather on the way, but not

:47:56. > :48:00.for long? By the end of the week we will cease

:48:01. > :48:04.in thing cooler again, but we have beautiful pictures from the Weather

:48:05. > :48:14.Watchers. John increased them this, Mr and Fogg, as you can clearly see.

:48:15. > :48:19.-- John in Crieff said this in. This beautiful picture is from Clacton on

:48:20. > :48:23.Sea. There is some cloud around, but where we have the breaks on the

:48:24. > :48:30.cloud, temperatures are lower. South and west, not as low. In Cardiff it

:48:31. > :48:34.is eight Celsius at the moment. We have a weak weather front draped

:48:35. > :48:37.across western Scotland and North Wales through the Midlands down into

:48:38. > :48:42.the south-east. It is of value because I, producing a lot of cloud.

:48:43. > :48:48.There are splashes of rain attached to it. Fog across parts of

:48:49. > :48:53.south-east Scotland and northern England. That will lift, some will

:48:54. > :48:57.take longer to clear, bright skies across south-east Scotland and

:48:58. > :49:01.northern England. The weather front upwards from the Midlands pivots

:49:02. > :49:06.back towards the north-east, it -- introducing more cloud.

:49:07. > :49:10.Aberdeenshire will hang on to the sunshine for the longest day. The

:49:11. > :49:13.cloudy afternoon with spots of rain across Northern Ireland, for

:49:14. > :49:17.northern England, the further east you are, the more likely you are to

:49:18. > :49:21.hang onto sunshine but cloud continues to build. Showers across

:49:22. > :49:25.West Wales, some getting into south-west England, some breaks in

:49:26. > :49:28.the south-west. Across the Midlands towards Hampshire heading east,

:49:29. > :49:36.underwriter cloud, with the odd break. Through the evening and

:49:37. > :49:39.overnight, hanging onto some showers in Wales, the Midlands and possibly

:49:40. > :49:44.East Anglia, but later another weather front comes in, introducing

:49:45. > :49:48.more rain. The heaviest and most persistent will be across north-west

:49:49. > :49:53.Scotland. That leads us into the weekend, as Louise said, it will get

:49:54. > :49:57.a milder and stay milder into the early part of next week. There will

:49:58. > :49:59.be cloud and sunny intervals and looking at a rain across the

:50:00. > :50:04.north-west. The overnight rain on Friday will be

:50:05. > :50:12.with 's first thing on Saturday across north-west Scotland, still

:50:13. > :50:15.heavy persistent. We will see the rain we can, it will still be wet

:50:16. > :50:20.with Shell is behind it. Northern Ireland will have sunny intervals,

:50:21. > :50:23.ahead of it for the Midlands into the south-east and south-west, quite

:50:24. > :50:27.a bit of cloud with some breaker breaks.

:50:28. > :50:31.Saturday into Sunday, a new weather front starts to come in from the

:50:32. > :50:35.West, behind it we will see much milder and macro coming our way, a

:50:36. > :50:40.largely dry day on Sunday with some showers in the West, later in the

:50:41. > :50:46.day the rain comes in, temperatures widely between 11, 12 of 13 or 14.

:50:47. > :50:49.This is what some others can expect on Monday or Tuesday, not

:50:50. > :50:54.wall-to-wall blue skies but some will see the dizzy heights of 16 or

:50:55. > :50:56.17 Celsius. Looking forward to it! Thank you for

:50:57. > :50:59.keeping us company. We won't tell you who are next guest

:51:00. > :51:02.is, just listen to this... But Chesney Hawkes isn't the only

:51:03. > :51:08.one on the sofa this morning, Good morning, both, lovely to see

:51:09. > :51:18.you. How wonderful. but first let's take a quick look

:51:19. > :51:35.at them in rehearsal together. # Trying to make me forget who I

:51:36. > :51:37.really am. # You tell me I know best, I'm not

:51:38. > :51:55.the same as all the rest. They are chuckling, what are you

:51:56. > :51:59.saying about your dad? Look at the concentration, he has not played

:52:00. > :52:05.bass for a long time, there are lots of chords in that song and he looked

:52:06. > :52:11.at me like, I have got it right. Are you not bass player? I was, with the

:52:12. > :52:14.Tremeloes, played on the records, and then I put it to one side when I

:52:15. > :52:22.left the band and just started playing guitar. I thought, well,

:52:23. > :52:29.pick it up. I am glad I did, I really enjoy it. It is my

:52:30. > :52:33.instruments, really. Growing up, music was big in the house? Gosh,

:52:34. > :52:37.yes. There was no way the three others were ever going to be

:52:38. > :52:41.accountants or anything. Everywhere in the house there were pianos,

:52:42. > :52:47.guitars propped up in corners, electric pianos in cupboards, music

:52:48. > :52:52.everywhere. He lived and breathed it can he still does. I tried to put

:52:53. > :52:58.off many times. Didn't do a very good job. Chesney was just made for

:52:59. > :53:03.it. Both givers as sense of the era, people who have not heard of the

:53:04. > :53:09.Tremeloes before, they were very successful?

:53:10. > :53:25.15 or 16 hits, couple of number ones. Mid to late 60 's? 66. Is that

:53:26. > :53:33.you? That is dad. Look at that handsome brute! Look at my hair!

:53:34. > :53:44.That was... Was that before you were born? I was born in 71... It you

:53:45. > :53:50.were born then. This was the 70s. Dad took me two shows. Some of my

:53:51. > :53:53.earliest memories were watching from the wings, dad with his shirt undone

:53:54. > :54:03.to his navel and his leather trousers. What fun! You would not

:54:04. > :54:09.believe it, that I used to be a hunk! I can see that quite clearly!

:54:10. > :54:14.Did you try to put all of the children of the music industry?

:54:15. > :54:18.Chesney was the main one, he definitely didn't want to go to work

:54:19. > :54:29.or finish school, didn't want to go to college. I just said, you know,

:54:30. > :54:34.when you leave school, if you are not making a living within six

:54:35. > :54:41.months, you will go to college. Within six months he was making more

:54:42. > :54:46.than I was! We have played it lots of times, The One and Only, a

:54:47. > :54:53.massive success. It featured in lots of things, movies, used in lots of

:54:54. > :54:57.other places? Is has been in films, lots of adverts and television

:54:58. > :55:03.stuff. It is still doing very well in that respect. We spoke to James

:55:04. > :55:07.Blunt yesterday, who obviously had one very particular song he is very

:55:08. > :55:12.well known for, how do you feel about this song? It has been 25

:55:13. > :55:17.years now, it has been very much part of my whole life, really. I

:55:18. > :55:23.have had ups and downs with it but I am very much friends with it now. We

:55:24. > :55:28.split up for a while and got back together, now we are like friends

:55:29. > :55:33.with benefits. Is that similar to you and the Tremeloes, you had lots

:55:34. > :55:42.of hits them? We were just a band and it went on and on and on. We had

:55:43. > :55:48.hits over ten years. It just carried on. That is all I knew. Is this the

:55:49. > :55:54.first time you have been on tour together? Yes. How did it come

:55:55. > :55:59.about? It was Chesney's idea, we have always messed about with

:56:00. > :56:02.guitars and pianos, doing party pieces, we have never really played

:56:03. > :56:07.on stage together. The dog sometimes if I am doing a gig near dad we will

:56:08. > :56:14.get together and do Silence Is Golden or something, sometimes I

:56:15. > :56:19.will play with him, this has been a dream for some time. My brother, his

:56:20. > :56:25.other son, is the drummer in this band. Are there more musicians in

:56:26. > :56:37.the family? My sister is also a singer. Four. It is like the

:56:38. > :56:42.fabulous Hawkes family on tour. He gets the biggest changing room, he

:56:43. > :56:48.is good either. Chesney, you live in LA, you do good to hear...? It

:56:49. > :56:52.sounds ridiculous and flush, I literally commute between London and

:56:53. > :56:58.LA, I am constantly on a plane at the moment. Mike Bushell was here a

:56:59. > :57:04.moment ago, you want to did panto with him? In Northampton, his

:57:05. > :57:09.hometown. He is local boy done good there, he would come out and they

:57:10. > :57:15.do... He would do a segment with us where he would sing something. He

:57:16. > :57:19.said he did a duet with you. I am not sure that is completely true, he

:57:20. > :57:29.also said I threw custard pie in his face, which was true. I adjusted it

:57:30. > :57:33.to him backstage, for old times sake if I had on a tiny bit with Chesney,

:57:34. > :57:35.I would also make a P Diddy duet with you. He did really, I am

:57:36. > :57:37.joking! Thank you. Chip and Chesney Hawkes's tour,

:57:38. > :57:46.From the Tremeloes to the One It runs until March. We will talk

:57:47. > :57:52.about fruit and veg, should we be eating more fruit and veg that is...

:57:53. > :57:57.I was going to say built in the UK, you know what I mean, grown in the

:57:58. > :58:06.UK? Sean is trying to answer that and he has his own quiz. Very good!

:58:07. > :58:10.Not a bad effort. They are starting to close up so you can get away with

:58:11. > :58:15.more, we will pay for the Pap about as gone on the floor. They peak in

:58:16. > :58:19.the early hours of the morning, it is a long day but it starts early.

:58:20. > :58:28.We're talking about all this fruit and veg, particularly this stall, of

:58:29. > :58:33.this is from Italy, we import from around the world. We are better at

:58:34. > :58:39.growing our own and eating room for meat, eggs, dairy etc, but are we up

:58:40. > :58:44.for growing more in the UK, potentially paying more? Let's talk

:58:45. > :58:50.to Adam from The Grocer magazine, how you're juggling skills? Is not

:58:51. > :58:57.very good. I will not put you on the spot. Looking at some of this

:58:58. > :59:02.cracking lovely purple aubergine. It is on trend, I am told, purple. That

:59:03. > :59:06.is why you get a lot of the stripe your machines, what chance about

:59:07. > :59:11.being grown in the UK? Non-at this time of the year. You would have to

:59:12. > :59:15.pay a fortune, you could grow it in the Arctic Circle with enough fuel

:59:16. > :59:21.but it is cost, the cost effectiveness. It is about

:59:22. > :59:24.expectations as consumers, we want to eat Mediterranean diet, right

:59:25. > :59:32.around the year. It is unrealistic to expect, as much as we like as

:59:33. > :59:33.consumers to buy British goods, to expect this to grow that at this

:59:34. > :59:43.time of year. Some of this stuff you could grow

:59:44. > :59:49.here in the UK in the winter? You can certainly grow the turnip and

:59:50. > :59:54.this you will grow in season but not at this time of year unless you are

:59:55. > :59:58.producing huge amounts of fuels and it becomes prohibitively expensive.

:59:59. > :00:04.This idea of seasonal vegetables is a great idea in principle, but it's

:00:05. > :00:10.like turning off social media to stop fake news, you are not going to

:00:11. > :00:15.do it. We have remarkable global supply chains and they are there

:00:16. > :00:21.because people want to eat these all year-round. If we want to eat more

:00:22. > :00:26.British food are we going to return to the menus of the 70s? No, we are

:00:27. > :00:29.not. The consumer wants it and supermarkets, it's their job to

:00:30. > :00:34.deliver it. What is interesting about this initiative it's about

:00:35. > :00:38.trying to find a way to get more stuff into the supermarkets from

:00:39. > :00:43.local farmers and local suppliers. It's not been easy to do.

:00:44. > :00:47.Supermarket like giant supply chains where everything is shipped out

:00:48. > :00:51.everywhere. Now we are talking about supermarkets trying to source

:00:52. > :00:55.locally and getting the produce shipped directly into that store.

:00:56. > :01:00.That's really difficult to do, if they can pull it off it makes it

:01:01. > :01:04.easier and consumers can respond. But it can't be prohibitively

:01:05. > :01:07.expensive. With Brexit, with the change in sterling, the devaluation

:01:08. > :01:11.of sterling, it means potentially the gap, the price gap potentially

:01:12. > :01:16.closes. Could be more competitive. Thank you very much.

:01:17. > :01:23.That's it from this morning. We have just about figured out to do with

:01:24. > :01:26.this. I am so glad. I still don't know what I will cook with them, but

:01:27. > :01:29.I will think of something. It was one of the worst shipping

:01:30. > :01:32.disasters ever to take place in British waters yet it's one

:01:33. > :01:35.of the least well-known. More than 600 people drowned

:01:36. > :01:43.when the SS Mendi sank close to the Isle of Wight on 21st

:01:44. > :01:44.February 1917. Most of the victims were black

:01:45. > :01:47.South African labourers who had been conscripted to support British

:01:48. > :01:51.forces in the First World War. Today, events get under way to mark

:01:52. > :01:55.100 years since the tragedy honouring the contribution

:01:56. > :01:57.of the Foreign Labour Corps and the memory of those

:01:58. > :01:59.who died that day. Private Daniel Mafika,

:02:00. > :02:10.Private Daniel Nkonyama. The names of more than 600

:02:11. > :02:13.killed in one of the UK's Yet, most have never heard

:02:14. > :02:26.of the sinking of the SS Mendi. 100 years on in Portsmouth,

:02:27. > :02:29.final rehearsals for a series of events to remember those

:02:30. > :02:32.who lost their lives. They were the South African

:02:33. > :02:34.Native Labour Corps. They have become the unremembered

:02:35. > :02:40.men of the First World War. SS Mendi was sailing from Cape Town

:02:41. > :02:44.to northern France when, in thick fog, near the Isle

:02:45. > :02:47.of Wight, she accidentally More than 800 members

:02:48. > :02:53.of the South African Native Labour They were labourers needed

:02:54. > :03:01.to support the British Army They built railway lines,

:03:02. > :03:07.they built roads - They endured very

:03:08. > :03:14.difficult conditions. They endured a great deal of racial

:03:15. > :03:29.discrimination and I think it's It is thought they sang this hymn as

:03:30. > :03:34.the Mendi set sail from South Africa T will be performed today in their

:03:35. > :03:38.honour. The discrimination experienced by

:03:39. > :03:45.many members of the South African Labour Corps in life continued in

:03:46. > :03:48.death. The sinking of the SS Mendi was barely mentioned in official

:03:49. > :03:52.histories of World War I. Most bodies were never recovered. The few

:03:53. > :03:58.that were are now buried in Portsmouth.

:03:59. > :04:05.These are direct descendents of men who died on the Mendi and have

:04:06. > :04:09.travelled from South Africa for the centenary commemorations. They got

:04:10. > :04:15.on board that ship because they were patriotic. They were serving the

:04:16. > :04:21.union of South Africa and the King. It's an emotional event coming here.

:04:22. > :04:30.It is only now after the new tone of South Africa that SS Mendi is talked

:04:31. > :04:34.about. We We didn't have any recognition. At last we have come to

:04:35. > :04:39.present the - representing the family.

:04:40. > :04:43.The South African Navy band have also travelled here for the

:04:44. > :04:45.commemorations. Victims of a largely forgotten tragedy at sea, officially

:04:46. > :04:54.recognised at last. Let's take a last look

:04:55. > :04:57.at the headlines where Whether covered in snow or sprinkled

:04:58. > :06:48.with blossoms the dramatic landscape of the Lake District is always

:06:49. > :06:49.captivating. A new documentary charting a year

:06:50. > :06:53.in the life of the Lake District is promising a unique view

:06:54. > :06:56.of life for the people It's called The Lake

:06:57. > :07:04.District: A Restless Year. We'll be speaking to some of those

:07:05. > :07:07.involved in a moment but first let's take a look at some

:07:08. > :07:12.of the spectacular scenery. On whatever scale, there

:07:13. > :07:16.are few places in Britain where change is more dramatic

:07:17. > :07:22.and important than here. But by seeing hours,

:07:23. > :07:33.days - even months - pressed into a few seconds,

:07:34. > :07:37.these changes can now be revealed. And by charting the key

:07:38. > :07:47.events in the calendar through each of the seasons,

:07:48. > :07:55.it is possible to uncover Joining us in the studio

:07:56. > :08:16.is the producer Simon Blakeney and stonemason David Birkett

:08:17. > :08:28.who is part of the documentary. Lovely to see you both. Thank you so

:08:29. > :08:32.much. Simon, tell us about it, it's the - anybody who has been there

:08:33. > :08:38.knows it's a special place, why film there? It's a stunning location. We

:08:39. > :08:42.wanted to have a place that really encapsulated a year in Britain, a

:08:43. > :08:45.year in wildlife and people and everything and we couldn't come up

:08:46. > :08:50.with somewhere that would be better than the Lake District, it's a

:08:51. > :08:55.stunning backdrop and has a wide range of things to film, it was

:08:56. > :08:58.lovely to film. I am fascinated when you have these definitive programmes

:08:59. > :09:02.and look at a place and you have time and you want to look at it

:09:03. > :09:07.properly, what do you film first, it's day one, where do we point the

:09:08. > :09:11.camera? We do research. The nice thing about this show is that we had

:09:12. > :09:15.the year, obviously had to catch the stages of the year and we choose

:09:16. > :09:19.from the outset to base it around the sort of rural life but with

:09:20. > :09:23.everything else and how that affected it and how the weather

:09:24. > :09:29.affected it. The first thing we filmed was the lambing. It flowed

:09:30. > :09:35.nicely but it did take a lot of research from us and my colleagues

:09:36. > :09:42.in the Lake District, as well. You are a stonemason, I am not joking, I

:09:43. > :09:48.have always wanted to meet one, because it's incredible work. I grew

:09:49. > :09:56.up on the farm that features heavily in the programme and yeah, started

:09:57. > :10:05.stonewalling with my grandfather there. It's neverending. It's hard

:10:06. > :10:11.work. It is, but we are Cumbrian, it's what we like doing. We don't

:10:12. > :10:14.like easy things. It's a mixle bag, you can be on a hillside or building

:10:15. > :10:19.gardens at Chelsea or working on nice houses and one skill leads on

:10:20. > :10:23.to the other, it's fascinating. There is enormous skill involved

:10:24. > :10:27.obviously and incredibly time-consuming presumably, does it

:10:28. > :10:32.take time to be building these walls? A lot of the contracts now

:10:33. > :10:37.are high on the hillside. So there is a lot of time getting there. The

:10:38. > :10:45.whole day you have to commit to a big day so that's the time but once

:10:46. > :10:49.you learn the basics of it it's like a mechanical act your body has to do

:10:50. > :10:53.and we are not building posh houses on hillsides, we are building stone

:10:54. > :10:57.fences really. Once you learn that basic mechanics you can do it

:10:58. > :11:01.anywhere. David, you witness firsthand the changing of the

:11:02. > :11:05.seasons. You see it all unfolding, have you a particular favourite time

:11:06. > :11:09.of year in The Lakes? I used to tell everybody that May was the most

:11:10. > :11:15.special time in the Lakes but I don't know why, but I would say

:11:16. > :11:20.April now, April is the new May! It's warmer sooner? I wouldn't want

:11:21. > :11:25.to go down those lines but we always used to get a beautiful band of

:11:26. > :11:32.weather in May. What happens in summer everything goes like a sticky

:11:33. > :11:35.green and in May you get the Hawthorns, and bluebells and catch

:11:36. > :11:38.that thin air before it goes hazy and it seems to have moved into

:11:39. > :11:42.April now. If I had to pick one month it would be April. Sounds

:11:43. > :11:52.lovely. How do you choose what you are going to film? A lot of it was

:11:53. > :11:59.working with people like David and we spent a lot of time with a farmer

:12:00. > :12:03.and speaking to organisations, and tell the story of the changing

:12:04. > :12:07.things, as it changes its face I suppose as the seasons pass through

:12:08. > :12:11.and picking stories that gave us that change. In amongst it some

:12:12. > :12:15.engaging stories about people and animals. The documentary obviously

:12:16. > :12:20.glorifies the scenery and the people there. Has it been hard when you

:12:21. > :12:24.were growing up there to get work? Often you hear in these beautiful

:12:25. > :12:31.places everyone goes to look at how lovely it is but it's hard to earn a

:12:32. > :12:34.living, has that been a problem? For me personally, no. I think there is

:12:35. > :12:41.a lot of people think this is the case and people move away looking

:12:42. > :12:46.for work. But very few people, especially in my field, it's not

:12:47. > :12:52.really that many people want to go and get cold and wet every day.

:12:53. > :12:58.Tourism is a massive industry. Yeah, we tried to show that, obviously

:12:59. > :13:01.that farming historically has been kept the Lake District alive and now

:13:02. > :13:05.tourism is taking over from that in a large part but a lot of the time

:13:06. > :13:09.tourists come to see the environment that's been created by the way of

:13:10. > :13:13.life, by farming and people like David who build the walls, it was

:13:14. > :13:15.lovely to show that mix of the two. It's beautiful images. Thank you

:13:16. > :13:19.both for coming in this morning. The Lake District: A Wild Year

:13:20. > :13:24.is on BBC Two tonight at 9.00pm. But now it's time for the final

:13:25. > :13:29.episode of Countryfile Winter but it can also be

:13:30. > :13:41.the most spectacular season
