:01:53. > :01:57.Theresa May is introducing a new law to combat domestic violence
:01:58. > :02:02.Official figures suggest that every year more than a million women
:02:03. > :02:04.experience domestic abuse in England and Wales.
:02:05. > :02:07.Among men, that figure stands at just over half a million.
:02:08. > :02:09.Last year, 75,000 people were convicted of domestic abuse -
:02:10. > :02:11.that's the highest number ever recorded.
:02:12. > :02:14.There was also the highest ever conviction rate of 75%

:02:17. > :02:20.Our political correspondent, Adam Fleming,
:02:21. > :02:23.is in Westminster for us this morning.
:02:24. > :02:25.Adam, Theresa May spent 6 years as Home Secretary
:02:26. > :02:31.so she's already had plenty of time to address this issue.
:02:32. > :02:40.Why the new law and what is different about it? She was Home
:02:41. > :02:44.Secretary for six years and responsible for these area but
:02:45. > :02:50.Downing Street says this has been a passion of hers. She extended the
:02:51. > :02:54.law to include criminalising things like controlling behaviour and
:02:55. > :03:01.giving people the right to find out if a new partner had been violent
:03:02. > :03:05.before. The problem she identifies as Prime Minister is that domestic
:03:06. > :03:09.violence is not just one crime contained in one piece of
:03:10. > :03:13.legislation and that those laws are not necessarily clear all the time
:03:14. > :03:17.which means people affected in England and Wales are treated
:03:18. > :03:23.differently depending on which police force they live in. The call
:03:24. > :03:28.has gone in across governments, expert and campaigners and people
:03:29. > :03:32.affected by the violence to come up with ideas as to how the system can
:03:33. > :03:36.be strengthen so that everybody is treated the same. A new piece of
:03:37. > :03:43.legislation will be deposited here in Parliament at some point. The
:03:44. > :03:47.Prime Minister is also looking at quick wins, ideas and initiatives
:03:48. > :03:52.that can help people straightaway. She is also talking about the bigger
:03:53. > :03:59.point that if she talks about it, police talk about it, you and I will
:04:00. > :04:00.talk about it and it may give victims more courage to come
:04:01. > :04:02.forward. President Donald Trump is preparing
:04:03. > :04:05.to address a rally of supporters at the end of an eventful week
:04:06. > :04:09.for the new US government. Yesterday, Mr Trump sought
:04:10. > :04:11.to focus on his promise but later resumed his
:04:12. > :04:14.criticism of the media, branding a number of news
:04:15. > :04:31.organisations The president of the United States
:04:32. > :04:35.may have been in office for less than a month but it is clear this is
:04:36. > :04:41.a part of the job he enjoys, addressing an audience he can see
:04:42. > :04:45.and hear. We love America and we are going to protect America. We love
:04:46. > :04:50.our workers and we are going to protect our workers. At the tour of
:04:51. > :04:56.Boeing in South Carolina he read the rate of one of his biggest campaign
:04:57. > :05:02.promises. Next stop, Florida, a place that supported when he
:05:03. > :05:11.supported him when he needed it most. It is unusual for a president
:05:12. > :05:17.to hold a rally like this so soon after inauguration but much of what
:05:18. > :05:20.Donald Trump has done so far has been unconventional, including a
:05:21. > :05:27.blossoming relationship with the main media. You are dishonest
:05:28. > :05:33.people. Last night he expressed his displeasure in his favourite way
:05:34. > :05:37.with another critical tweet. Even journalists from organisations on
:05:38. > :05:44.his side are unhappy, particularly when it comes to Russia. The
:05:45. > :05:48.opposition was hacked and the Russians were responsible for it and
:05:49. > :05:55.your people were on the same day to Russia when it happened, and we are
:05:56. > :06:01.all asking? No, sir. He has a lot his plate, a vacancy in Cabinet,
:06:02. > :06:04.accusations of chaos in the administration pulls dog he will be
:06:05. > :06:07.hoping that by going directly to voters, he can at least expect some

:12:07. > :12:13.is being built as a campaign event at just 29 days into the presidency.
:12:14. > :12:20.Good morning and thank you for your time. Can we talk about the event he
:12:21. > :12:24.attended at bowing. Many people think instinctively this is more
:12:25. > :12:30.comfortable territory. He was talking about jobs, the mantra of
:12:31. > :12:37.jobs for the US and things to be made and bought in the US? He has
:12:38. > :12:42.had a number of days of that headlines and he's going back to the
:12:43. > :12:45.people that he has promised to deliver four, the average worker,
:12:46. > :12:51.the average voter and that is where he feels comfortable, getting that
:12:52. > :12:58.affirmation and we have seen that with his visit to Boeing and this
:12:59. > :13:04.rally in Florida which speaks to how his approval numbers among his
:13:05. > :13:10.supporters are high. Thinking slightly cynically that the event he
:13:11. > :13:17.is attending seems odd, as a campaigning rally and he has just
:13:18. > :13:22.become president. One is the wasting time on this when he could be
:13:23. > :13:27.sorting out a lot of outstanding business? One of the interesting
:13:28. > :13:31.features of Donald Trump as a candidate was that he was great at
:13:32. > :13:37.rallies and outperformed Hillary Clinton. He was filling large
:13:38. > :13:44.stadiums. Towards the end of the campaign he was during three rallies
:13:45. > :13:50.and day. My guess is the reason he may be doing a 2020 campaign is to
:13:51. > :13:55.try to get some of that positive feedback and get people excited
:13:56. > :13:59.about his presidency again even though he still has not been
:14:00. > :14:06.president for very long. Help us with some of the patterns, due you
:14:07. > :14:11.think this is what we are going to see, him attending events where he
:14:12. > :14:19.will get lots of plaudits from people and not his press conference
:14:20. > :14:25.where he is so at odds with the press, what he has now named an
:14:26. > :14:34.enemy of the people. He has become very impatient with the media. We
:14:35. > :14:39.have seen in the last press conference, it was not on schedule,
:14:40. > :14:44.he was rumoured to have locked in his office and said let's have a
:14:45. > :14:52.press conference. I think that is how he will continue. It will be
:14:53. > :14:56.press conferences, Twitter, it may be further rallies and planned
:14:57. > :15:03.visits. Those are not so unusual. President George W Bush would tour
:15:04. > :15:07.plans. But it would be to highlight a particular policy and what does
:15:08. > :15:20.not seem to be accomplished in these visas is policy. To what extent is
:15:21. > :15:22.he dropping in things that are not true, claims about his election
:15:23. > :15:28.success, for example? Which everyone knows aren't true. He seems to
:15:29. > :15:34.compound the problems of fake news by pushing fake news himself. Well,
:15:35. > :15:38.he himself is not pushing fake news. He might be providing wrong
:15:39. > :15:50.information but the press brings the news. It isn't helped cool to have
:15:51. > :15:56.false facts out there -- isn't helpful. He was the one who had more
:15:57. > :16:00.college votes, even on Republicans. But he was challenged and fell back
:16:01. > :16:09.to saying that was the information he was given. Anneke Green, thank
:16:10. > :16:15.you very much for your time this morning. A look at the morning
:16:16. > :16:18.papers. The Daily Mail has a story that they've been covering all week
:16:19. > :16:22.concerning the rise in business rates. They highlight one particular
:16:23. > :16:25.shopkeeper who has written a scathing letter about the
:16:26. > :16:30.government's approach to business, saying the whole thing needs to be
:16:31. > :16:35.reviewed. It is a mixed picture across the country.
:16:36. > :16:39.On the issues of the economy, the Times focuses on the housing market.
:16:40. > :16:48.Homeowners, they say, waking up to ten months sometimes to sell their
:16:49. > :16:52.properties. Also related to economic uncertainty, looking ahead to events
:16:53. > :16:56.in the next two years related to Brexit.
:16:57. > :17:01.And Tony Blair's entry into politics again makes the front page of the
:17:02. > :17:07.Guardian, saying his speech sparked fury within general voters and the

:17:31. > :17:34.voices joining in those calls of a review for business rates.
:17:35. > :17:38.Briefly on the front page of the Sun. A father of three who
:17:39. > :17:45.apparently died 27 times in 24 hours but still survived. He was playing
:17:46. > :17:51.walking football at the time, which is the subject of Mike's story later
:17:52. > :17:52.in the programme. Good news at the end as he was OK.
:17:53. > :17:58.Here's Darren with a look at this morning's weather.
:17:59. > :18:06.Good morning. On the face of it this picture doesn't look very promising.
:18:07. > :18:10.A mild and misty start, especially across England and Wales, but things
:18:11. > :18:16.will improve. Sunshine developing. Rain in the north. The winds are
:18:17. > :18:20.stronger there, keeping mist and fog at bay. That rain will move very
:18:21. > :18:25.slowly southwards. To the south of it, a great start for England and
:18:26. > :18:29.Wales. Some mist and quite a lot of hill fog around. Fog around the
:18:30. > :18:34.coast as well. Northwards we have rain in Northern Ireland, in the
:18:35. > :18:36.south. It is moving into the north-west of England and north
:18:37. > :18:40.Wales and wet weather is affecting the west of Scotland. East of
:18:41. > :18:45.Scotland should have largely dry day. We have some sunshine as well.
:18:46. > :18:49.As the rain clears from Northern Ireland we get some brighter skies
:18:50. > :18:53.and sunshine in the afternoon. Still damp and dreary in the north-west of
:18:54. > :18:58.England and north Wales. As you can see, the rest of England and Wales
:18:59. > :19:03.is cheering up. Temperatures as high as 13 degrees, even around the
:19:04. > :19:07.Murray Firth. This is the rain we have in northern England. It slipped
:19:08. > :19:11.southwards and fizzles out. We could have wet weather in western Scotland
:19:12. > :19:15.where we have the strong winds. On the whole cloudy skies in the UK. A
:19:16. > :19:20.couple of breaks here and there in the east, but temperatures sticking
:19:21. > :19:25.out about 6-7. A lot of cloud to start tomorrow. We have this moist
:19:26. > :19:30.westerly airflow. Many western parts have cloudy skies, maybe a bit of
:19:31. > :19:35.drizzle around coastal hills. In the east of Scotland and east Wales we
:19:36. > :19:42.have some sunshine. Temperatures not far off today. About 11- 12 degrees
:19:43. > :19:47.typically. Into Monday we can trace the air all the way back to the
:19:48. > :19:52.Caribbean. And this mild air is coming over the Atlantic towards our
:19:53. > :19:57.shores. They will come with a lot of cloud. That mild air trapped between
:19:58. > :20:01.the weather systems, so again some rain and drizzle around western
:20:02. > :20:04.hills and coast. We get sunshine in the east and we could possibly see
:20:05. > :20:11.temperatures on Monday into the mid- teens. What is going on? March --
:20:12. > :20:18.much higher than it should be at this time of year! Crack on the
:20:19. > :20:23.shorts! I've got them on already, you just
:20:24. > :20:29.can't see! We will be back with the news at
:20:30. > :20:40.6:30am. Now it is time for The Film Review.
:20:41. > :20:43.Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.
:20:44. > :20:46.To take us through this week's cinema releases as ever is Mark
:20:47. > :21:05.We have The Great Wall in which Matt Damon goes head
:21:06. > :21:10.And Moonlight, for my money, one of the best films I've
:21:11. > :21:26.The Hidden Figures are both the hidden mathematical equations
:21:27. > :21:30.needed to get a man into space and also the hidden people used
:21:31. > :21:37.It's tag lined meet the women you don't know behind
:21:38. > :21:43.It's based on the story of African American women working
:21:44. > :21:46.in Nasa in the early 1960s on the mathematical formula
:21:47. > :21:52.The three main characters are all struggling to be recognised
:21:53. > :21:54.for their talent, both at work and at home.
:21:55. > :22:02.Pastor mentioned you're a computer at Nasa.
:22:03. > :22:11.They let women handle that sort of...?
:22:12. > :22:22.I'm just surprised that something so taxing...
:22:23. > :22:26.Mr Johnson, if I were you I'd quit talking right now.
:22:27. > :22:32.I will have you know I was the first negro female student
:22:33. > :22:40.On any given day I analysed levels for aerial displacement,
:22:41. > :22:47.And compute over 10,000 calculations by hand.
:22:48. > :22:52.So, yes, they let women do some things at Nasa.
:22:53. > :23:01.And it's not because we wear skirts, it's because we wear glasses.
:23:02. > :23:05.I mean, it's a really likeable film and tells a story I had't heard
:23:06. > :23:06.before, a celebration of people breaking
:23:07. > :23:13.A terrific performance from Kevin Costner as the head
:23:14. > :23:16.of the space task force who just wants to do the job
:23:17. > :23:23.What I like about it is it's a broad strokes film and the complexity
:23:24. > :23:26.is left for the equations, but it knows how
:23:27. > :23:29.to engage the audience and get them involved with the characters and how
:23:30. > :23:34.Also, how to make the solving of these equations actually exciting.
:23:35. > :23:36.It is quite difficult to make someone solving equations
:23:37. > :23:39.on a blackboard look exciting, and they do it well.
:23:40. > :23:43.The performances are very likeable and it's one of those films that
:23:44. > :23:46.manages to take a true story and tells it in
:23:47. > :23:51.It has you rooting for the main characters.
:23:52. > :23:54.It is eye opening and a story I did not know before.
:23:55. > :23:57.You might have heard it before, but I confess I didn't.
:23:58. > :24:01.It does it really well and in a way that I think's
:24:02. > :24:05.You will come out of it with a skip in your step feeling uplifted.
:24:06. > :24:09.Because it's not just lecturing about the sexism and racism?
:24:10. > :24:15.It's telling it in a way that engages you with the characters.
:24:16. > :24:19.It is very, very broad strokes, but done so in a way where it knows
:24:20. > :24:22.when to use sentimentality or melodrama and does
:24:23. > :24:30.It's really very entertaining which is what you need a mainstream
:24:31. > :24:37.Oh dear, you're already laughing!
:24:38. > :24:39.The most expensive film ever made purely in China,
:24:40. > :24:42.The tag line, 1700 years to build 500 miles long.
:24:43. > :24:48.So this is a spectacularly silly but spectacular film.
:24:49. > :24:55.Matt Damon is a mercenary in search of magical black power
:24:56. > :24:58.but he discovers the wall was built to keep out
:24:59. > :25:06.He encountered one early on and he cut its hand off.
:25:07. > :25:08.Everyone's very impressed that he defeated one
:25:09. > :25:11.So they think, let's get him involved in our fight.
:25:12. > :25:15.But will he join forces or end up trying to steal the magical powder.
:25:16. > :25:19.The thing with Zhang Yimou is he does know how to stage
:25:20. > :25:21.exciting set pieces and action sequences.
:25:22. > :25:25.However, my own opinion is that Duncan Jones in Warcraft
:25:26. > :25:32.was doing some of this stuff rather better.
:25:33. > :25:36.Plus, when we get to the final battle, it is essentially a rerun
:25:37. > :25:40.of a battle in Lord of the Rings, but with Matt Damon doing
:25:41. > :25:43.It's colourful, there are well choreographed sequences.
:25:44. > :25:46.But it is a piece of utter tomfoolery and it is rather long.
:25:47. > :25:53.Yes, you would have got away with it if it was slightly shorter.
:25:54. > :25:57.It probably isn't as long as it felt, it just felt like a long film.
:25:58. > :26:01.However, almost not long enough is Moonlight.
:26:02. > :26:12.Yes, it's just an astonishing work from director Barry Jenkins.
:26:13. > :26:16.A coming of age story about a young man growing up in a neighbourhood
:26:17. > :26:20.in Miami, wrestling with poverty, identity, drugs, sexuality.
:26:21. > :26:23.Sounds like a recipe for a downbeat neorealist film,
:26:24. > :26:27.Three actors play the central character and the chapters
:26:28. > :26:33.are identified by the names that he assumes or is given.
:26:34. > :26:39.In the first section, having been basically abandoned
:26:40. > :26:43.by his mother, who's a drug addict, he is befriended by a local dealer
:26:44. > :26:45.who you will recognise from the previous clip.
:26:46. > :26:55.Huh? What happened?
:26:56. > :26:58.Why you didn't come home like you were supposed to?
:26:59. > :27:18.Wouldn't tell me where he lived til this morning.
:27:19. > :27:46.You know he is a drug dealer but is also a very paternal figure
:27:47. > :27:48.and becomes a role model to some extent.
:27:49. > :27:54.The film tells this story in a way which is poetic and beautiful,
:27:55. > :27:56.and understands that there is hardship in this life
:27:57. > :28:03.A film in which the sound of the ocean is the backdrop
:28:04. > :28:08.There is the key sequence in which the young kid
:28:09. > :28:14.The film has such command of the cinematic medium both
:28:15. > :28:16.in the way it uses imagery and music.
:28:17. > :28:21.The music is superb, from classical to original
:28:22. > :28:23.compositions to pop tunes, all blended together to take
:28:24. > :28:26.you inside the psychology of the characters.
:28:27. > :28:30.Most importantly, it's a film which is really sympathetic
:28:31. > :28:36.which gives voice to characters which in other movies would be
:28:37. > :28:42.I've seen it a couple of times now and the first time I saw it
:28:43. > :28:47.The second time I spent a lot of it in tears because I found it
:28:48. > :28:49.so moving, so profoundly poetic and sympathetic.
:28:50. > :28:52.It is heartfelt, it has elements of tragedy in it,
:28:53. > :28:55.but also this really tactile sensuous feel to it.
:28:56. > :29:01.It's a remarkable second feature from Barry Jenkins.
:29:02. > :29:10.Obviously it is a major awards contender and for my money the best
:29:11. > :29:18.I was of course refering to last year, as it came out
:29:19. > :29:22.I think it's a very important film, but also a wonderful piece
:29:23. > :29:27.Everything, how it looks, sounds, how it's written.
:29:28. > :29:30.The fact you can feel the honesty and integrity.
:29:31. > :29:38.Please tell me you loved it as much as I did.
:29:39. > :29:41.I loved it and we know you loved it too.
:29:42. > :29:43.It's fantastic. That's the must watch this week.
:29:44. > :29:47.Best out at the moment is the film that I think I said last week,
:29:48. > :29:49.even watching the trailer, "Oh, my goodness".
:29:50. > :29:52.I almost lost the will to live watching it.
:29:53. > :29:54.Moonlight is the best thing out, but also the best thing
:29:55. > :29:59.A black comedy about father daughter estrangement.
:30:00. > :30:01.I know you said you hated the trailer.
:30:02. > :30:09.I don't know why they're going to remake it in English.
:30:10. > :30:12.And for anyone who wants to watch a DVD?
:30:13. > :30:14.So there's this documentary by Kirsten Johnson called Camera
:30:15. > :30:20.She was the cinematographer on a number of films,
:30:21. > :30:25.She has taken outtake footage and put it together to make
:30:26. > :30:28.an odyssey of her career in which the stories around the side
:30:29. > :30:32.of the stories become the central story.
:30:33. > :30:34.It is a wonderful film about the responsibility
:30:35. > :30:37.of documentary making and how you can find beauty where
:30:38. > :30:42.Called Camera Person - I think you will like it very much.
:30:43. > :30:48.As ever, good to see you, and see you next week.
:30:49. > :30:57.You can find more film reviews and news online. And you can catch up
:30:58. > :31:03.with all of our previous programmes of course on the BBC iPlayer. That's

:39:24. > :39:28.there are broke the British record. We came back into the two mile for a
:39:29. > :39:30.record. They treated me really well. There was an historic win

:40:02. > :40:07.we featured the beginnings of Walking Football,
:40:08. > :40:09.when the idea was trialled at Bury. Now there are nearly a thousand
:40:10. > :40:13.places to play across the UK, and among the lives it's

:40:16. > :40:22.team take a giant step towards Wembley, this month,
:40:23. > :40:35.in the FA People's Cup. There was a time when all Jan Milner
:40:36. > :40:42.had left was of dreams, memories of playing football. But injuries took
:40:43. > :40:46.her sporting opportunities away and let her to be lonely, isolated and
:40:47. > :40:53.depressed until the moment five years ago she switched on the TV
:40:54. > :40:59.once more. Walking football. Her footballing ambitions were
:41:00. > :41:04.rekindled. I saw it on telly and it was like a light bolt moment. Do you
:41:05. > :41:12.know what? On what some of this because, wow, you now what I mean.
:41:13. > :41:18.She set up her reign team. It is not put much pressure on senior joints
:41:19. > :41:25.of seniors as the fast game and does. I excited. They may be looked
:41:26. > :41:30.at me because of while ago I was in a dark place, I was not good but I
:41:31. > :41:36.have many, many memories but sometimes they are not enough. We
:41:37. > :41:43.are recreating your memories here. I scored a goal today and I really
:41:44. > :41:49.happy stop it went in. I joined the team in training and I was amazed by
:41:50. > :41:57.the speed and accuracy. You have not got the option of running past your
:41:58. > :42:04.opponents. Sorry, I forgot. It is so hard. Not running is instinctive. It
:42:05. > :42:11.does open your eyes that it is not said in tree and a slow as you would
:42:12. > :42:15.like to think. This gives you the alternative to still be able to kick
:42:16. > :42:21.the ball about and get the feel for the ball but are slower pace. Five
:42:22. > :42:29.years ago, there was only one walking football club. Now, or
:42:30. > :42:34.nearly a thousand places you can do this in. He really has transformed
:42:35. > :42:39.the lives of tens of thousands of people. Before this came along, I
:42:40. > :42:45.would be doing a crossword for two or three hours. When I finish, I had
:42:46. > :42:52.a broken ankle, and unique, a new nose. I was widowed four years ago
:42:53. > :42:56.and are doing absolutely nothing stop you do not think that when you
:42:57. > :43:04.get to nearly 70 can play for all, but you can. They will play in the
:43:05. > :43:08.competition in Doncaster this month and if they get through this, they
:43:09. > :43:18.will be one match away from walking out winners. How pressures would
:43:19. > :43:26.that be. It is not too late for you to enter a team in the FA People's
:43:27. > :43:29.football club. They are expecting 40,000 because entries are free and
:43:30. > :43:34.they're right categories for everyone and you can enter a team or
:43:35. > :43:41.as an individual player and find a team. Get inspired to find out more.
:43:42. > :43:49.You brought it to everyone's attention five years ago but this is
:43:50. > :43:53.massive. All around the world. There was one World Championship in the
:43:54. > :43:58.Netherlands. It has reopened up sport, football, transforming the
:43:59. > :44:04.lives of tens of thousands of people. And you struggle not to run.
:44:05. > :44:12.It is hard when you are a natural sprinter like me. I got booked for
:44:13. > :44:20.running. It is a failed. You keep on doing it, you walk off, literally.
:44:21. > :44:23.Time now is 644 ATM. You are watching Breakfast.
:44:24. > :44:26.The main stories this morning: Theresa May says she will directly
:44:27. > :44:29.oversee work on a new law to tackle domestic violence.
:44:30. > :44:32.President Donald Trump will address supporters later at a campaign-style
:44:33. > :44:36.Also coming up in the programme: The town where you don't even need
:44:37. > :44:39.to look up from your phone to cross the road.
:44:40. > :44:42.We'll be finding out whether these flashing lights in the Netherlands
:44:43. > :44:52.are a good idea, or just encourage bad behaviour.
:44:53. > :45:06.It says in the papers this morning that we are competing with the --
:45:07. > :45:11.with Majorca for temperatures. We are getting very mild air from
:45:12. > :45:18.the Caribbean. Pretty mild out there at the moment this morning, but also
:45:19. > :45:22.misty. Sunshine will be developing. We have some rain around and that is
:45:23. > :45:27.moving very slowly southwards. To the south of the rain, across
:45:28. > :45:33.England and Wales, this is where we have very misty weather. Hill fog
:45:34. > :45:37.and coastal fog, which will linger through the morning. Further north,
:45:38. > :45:41.dull and damp in the north-west. Starting with rain in the south of
:45:42. > :45:48.Northern Ireland. That should clear southwards. Eastern Scotland should
:45:49. > :45:52.be largely dry today. Much more sheltered from the stronger winds
:45:53. > :45:56.and there will be sunshine. Across Northern Ireland as the rain clears
:45:57. > :46:00.away across the Irish Sea we should have some sunshine. Further rain and
:46:01. > :46:05.drizzle moving and across north-west England, north Wales. The rest of
:46:06. > :46:11.England and Wales cheering up. A mild day wherever you are. This rain
:46:12. > :46:15.we have across northern England and north Wales moves south and peters
:46:16. > :46:20.out. Wet weather coming back into western Scotland. On the whole a lot
:46:21. > :46:30.of cloud, with a few breaks here and there in sheltered eastern areas.
:46:31. > :46:33.6-7. Tomorrow starts cloudy. Quite a moist, mild westerly airflow, which
:46:34. > :46:37.means many western parts will have cloudy skies, maybe drizzle over the
:46:38. > :46:44.hills and coasts. Eastern Scotland and eastern England and east Wales,
:46:45. > :46:48.sunshine at times. Another mild day. Temperatures not far off where they
:46:49. > :46:52.have been. Better in the north-west by the end of the day. Heading into
:46:53. > :46:57.Monday we can trace the air all the way back from the Caribbean, coming
:46:58. > :47:01.over the Atlantic of course, bringing mild conditions. There is a
:47:02. > :47:06.weather system to the north of the UK. It will be windy on Monday. The
:47:07. > :47:11.winds are bouncing over the hills. A lot of cloud around. If we get
:47:12. > :47:15.sunshine, across eastern parts in particular, we have temperatures
:47:16. > :47:19.into the mid- teens, which is way above the average for this time of
:47:20. > :47:23.year. It could be a one-day wonder. Temperatures close to normal for the
:47:24. > :47:28.rest of the week. That's it. Back to you. Thank you very much. It looks
:47:29. > :47:29.absolutely lovely. We'll be back with
:47:30. > :47:31.the headlines at 7am. We first meet Team Lab,
:47:32. > :48:02.the 400-strong digital art The team of artists programmers,
:48:03. > :48:08.engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and the like,
:48:09. > :48:10.love to make an impact and here at the Pace London gallery,
:48:11. > :48:16.they're presenting eight As with the work in Tokyo,
:48:17. > :48:23.the idea here combines motion censors and the projectors,
:48:24. > :48:26.which means you have a completely interactive piece that
:48:27. > :48:35.you can touch and change. The whole room has been fully
:48:36. > :48:38.calibrated so the censors can detect where everyone in the installation
:48:39. > :48:41.is really, really accurately. The artwork, the project,
:48:42. > :48:49.the projections, are calculated The pictures really do react
:48:50. > :48:58.to whatever you do while you're This room is called
:48:59. > :49:13.Flowers Bloom On People. With no-one in here,
:49:14. > :49:16.it's just a black room but if you sit around for a few
:49:17. > :49:19.minute, you'll find that nature Now I would say this is pretty
:49:20. > :49:32.cutting-edge projectector technology but Marc Cieslak has assured me
:49:33. > :49:35.he can give this a run This is a home entertainment concept
:49:36. > :49:47.from Razor, a company most famous for manufacturing gaming PCs,
:49:48. > :49:49.covering more lights than Blackpool The concept makes use of coloured
:49:50. > :49:54.lights and projected image, working together in
:49:55. > :49:59.synchronised harmony. What we have here is a concept
:50:00. > :50:03.lighting rig, which is key So the lights in this room
:50:04. > :50:07.will change colour depending on what's happening but it's only
:50:08. > :50:12.part of what's going on. So if I just hit this button here,
:50:13. > :50:15.we get the largest screen And that giant screen size is thanks
:50:16. > :50:28.to a pretty expensive The projector is fitted with a 155-
:50:29. > :50:36.degree fish eye lens, combined with two depth sensing
:50:37. > :50:39.cameras that scans the rooms for objects and furniture,
:50:40. > :50:42.and the system adjusts the image to prevent it from
:50:43. > :50:43.becoming distorting. So the idea is that by having
:50:44. > :50:46.a screen that envelopes, the peripheral vision of the viewer,
:50:47. > :50:50.you really feel like you're thrown inside the action,
:50:51. > :50:52.and it is surprisingly effective. At the moment, this system remains
:50:53. > :51:09.a concept but Razor has hinted it Oh, I can see lightings
:51:10. > :51:25.and stuff playing. I've been discovering some
:51:26. > :51:27.of the the latest ways that the technology is being used
:51:28. > :51:33.to help the visually impaired. It all starts with a spot
:51:34. > :51:35.of virtual reality. It just made me so, it was happiness
:51:36. > :51:51.but it made me cry and I just I'd been without full sight
:51:52. > :51:55.for so many years and then all of a sudden I could see things
:51:56. > :51:59.that I hadn't seen for 30 years. Here at the Beacon Centre,
:52:00. > :52:01.a charity supporting those with sight loss, an interesting
:52:02. > :52:04.trial is taking place. It seems some people can see things
:52:05. > :52:17.in VR they could never see I'd never expected it
:52:18. > :52:30.but when they put the head set on, I mean there was giraffes,
:52:31. > :52:38.coming up and looking at me! What would you say to other people
:52:39. > :52:41.with a similar level of vision to you about the experience
:52:42. > :52:44.of being able to do this Oh, if you've got the chance,
:52:45. > :52:54.you have to have a go. I mean I know it's not full sight,
:52:55. > :52:59.because you've got to wear a machine, I'm not saying,
:53:00. > :53:03.that but to give you the experience, There are a wide range of conditions
:53:04. > :53:11.that cause sight loss. The nature of which can vary hugely,
:53:12. > :53:15.and even for those with similar problems, the benefits
:53:16. > :53:17.of the VR have varied. By along with the University
:53:18. > :53:20.of Wolverhampton, experts are trying to understand how this
:53:21. > :53:27.is possible at all. What we found quite quickly is that
:53:28. > :53:30.people who had central loss, macular type conditions,
:53:31. > :53:33.as they are called, are the ones Where they still had peripheral
:53:34. > :53:39.vision and whether that peripheral vision is so stimulated
:53:40. > :53:42.as to fill in the gaps, or, whatever wee don't understand
:53:43. > :53:47.yet, is it because it's so close? Is it because there are still sight
:53:48. > :53:52.receptive cells in the centre of the vision, so that
:53:53. > :53:54.when they're stimulated enough, that they will fire
:53:55. > :53:57.and therefore create the vision? There's a whole host of things we're
:53:58. > :54:02.still trying to explore If I could use that when my
:54:03. > :54:07.daughter's doing her school plays or she's singing in the choir,
:54:08. > :54:10.I could never pick out who she was or what she was doing,
:54:11. > :54:15.or be able to see what you are seeing and that could really be
:54:16. > :54:17.quite life changing. But, however clear the virtual world
:54:18. > :54:21.may seem, finding ways to ease There are eye beacons built
:54:22. > :54:35.in here that connect this to the mobile app, so if somebody
:54:36. > :54:40.is approaching and they have the app installed in their phone,
:54:41. > :54:43.they will receive an alert to let them know about the roadworks
:54:44. > :54:46.and how best to approach them. And for someone like Louise
:54:47. > :54:48.with two young kids, this smart street furniture
:54:49. > :54:54.could make all the difference. Because it tells you which way
:54:55. > :54:58.to go, so it can still in my pocket I can have their hands, one in each,
:54:59. > :55:02.and I can hear the voiceover, so it will say something
:55:03. > :55:04.like the pedestrian crossing It's there for three
:55:05. > :55:13.days or however long. So if I do the school run the same
:55:14. > :55:17.day, I know exactly where it's going to be, I have done
:55:18. > :55:20.that walk yesterday. Also this week, big claims
:55:21. > :55:23.from a company that say their smart glasses can give the legally
:55:24. > :55:25.blind 20/20 vision. As well as being able to stream
:55:26. > :55:28.content, they've captured the user's surroundings, converting them
:55:29. > :55:30.into a form, they say, is easier to identify for those
:55:31. > :55:33.with limited vision. Sadly we couldn't put a pair
:55:34. > :55:37.to the test just yet, and it's early days for much
:55:38. > :55:40.of what is being trialled here but the possibilities
:55:41. > :55:51.are certainly looking good. Now, virtual reality has been
:55:52. > :55:55.grabbing all the headlines in recent years but don't forget
:55:56. > :56:00.augmented reality. Now this is the idea of projecting
:56:01. > :56:03.computer generated images on top A bit like this but
:56:04. > :56:13.in a pair of glasses. Well a small band of augmented
:56:14. > :56:16.reality pioneers have been really Here's Marc again with some
:56:17. > :56:25.pretty classy eyewear. These augmented reality glasses
:56:26. > :56:27.are basically a wearable computer. For the last couple of years,
:56:28. > :56:30.augmented reality specs have been used primarily in an industrial
:56:31. > :56:33.setting or in the workplace. These have been competed
:56:34. > :56:36.by a company called ODG, and they've been designed far more
:56:37. > :56:44.with the consumer in mind. They feel a lot closer to normal
:56:45. > :56:48.glasses, so to get the best out So, I stand up, at the moment,
:56:49. > :56:56.there's a 360-degree video playing. If I look around, I get
:56:57. > :56:59.a different viewpoint here. I see a robot in front of me
:57:00. > :57:03.and what looks like some kind of futuristic hospital,
:57:04. > :57:07.and there's a guy over here, who seems very unhappy and another
:57:08. > :57:10.guy who looks seems to be The images move
:57:11. > :57:16.seemlessly with my head. If I look around I can see planet
:57:17. > :57:20.earth in front of me. I can walk inside it and see
:57:21. > :57:25.from outside of the planet, and appreciate it from this angle,
:57:26. > :57:38.and if I stand here, yep, a Space Station that's
:57:39. > :57:43.orbiting the earth as well. Now, the glasses know
:57:44. > :57:45.where they are, spacially, as there are a couple
:57:46. > :57:54.of cameras on front of them. All of the processing is happening
:57:55. > :57:57.on the head set itself. The ODGR-8 glasses will cost around
:57:58. > :58:00.?800 but they are basically Are some cheaper, lower tech AR
:58:01. > :58:04.options out there, though. There are lots of low-cost virtual
:58:05. > :58:13.reality headsets that make This is a low-cost augmented reality
:58:14. > :58:16.headset that uses a phone. Put an AR app in it
:58:17. > :58:21.and the images on the screen So, when the headset's on,
:58:22. > :58:28.I can look down the screen and I scan see graphics reflected
:58:29. > :58:32.from the phone just in the headset. Now, it has another trick
:58:33. > :58:38.up its sleeve as well. I can see my hands in front of me
:58:39. > :58:44.and use them to cast flames. That's it for the short cut
:58:45. > :58:48.of Click for this week from Transcending Boundaries
:58:49. > :58:50.at the Pace London gallery. The full lengths of the programme is

:00:03. > :00:05.to combat domestic violence The Prime Minister says victims
:00:06. > :00:13.of domestic violence are being "let
:00:14. > :00:41.down by the legal system" President Donald Trump is preparing
:00:42. > :00:44.to address a rally of supporters in Florida at the end of an eventful
:00:45. > :00:48.week for the new US government. Yesterday, Mr Trump sought to focus
:00:49. > :00:51.on his promise to boost manufacturing jobs as he visited
:00:52. > :00:54.a Boeing facility in South Carolina. On the front line
:00:55. > :00:56.with Iraqi forces - we'll find out how they're
:00:57. > :00:58.preparing for an assault on one of the last

:01:28. > :01:33.developing. It stays mild on Sunday if cloudy. More details later on.
:01:34. > :01:38.Theresa May is introducing a new law to combat domestic violence
:01:39. > :01:48.The Prime Minister says it is an abhorrent crime it is a priority for
:01:49. > :01:49.the government. Official figures suggest that every
:01:50. > :01:52.year more than a million women experience domestic abuse
:01:53. > :01:54.in England and Wales. Among men, that figure stands
:01:55. > :01:57.at just over half a million. Last year, 75,000 people
:01:58. > :02:00.were convicted of domestic abuse - that's the highest
:02:01. > :02:01.number ever recorded. There was also the highest ever
:02:02. > :02:04.conviction rate of 75% but some charities are concerned
:02:05. > :02:07.that too many victims Our political correspondent,
:02:08. > :02:14.Adam Fleming, is in Westminster
:02:15. > :02:18.for us this morning. Adam, Theresa May spent 6 years
:02:19. > :02:21.as Home Secretary so she's already had plenty of time
:02:22. > :02:31.to address this issue. Number ten are keen to point out
:02:32. > :02:37.that this is something Theresa May is personally very engaged in. As
:02:38. > :02:41.Home Secretary she did change the law when it came to domestic
:02:42. > :02:46.violence, giving people the right to find out if their new partner had
:02:47. > :02:50.been violent in a previous relationship and made it illegal to
:02:51. > :02:55.engage in emotional abuse, to control your partner. The issue she
:02:56. > :03:01.realises now as Prime Minister is that domestic violence is not one
:03:02. > :03:08.goal enshrined in one piece of legislation, and some of it is not
:03:09. > :03:12.very clear. The way they are treated, victims of domestic
:03:13. > :03:18.violence, depends on where they live because it is up to police to
:03:19. > :03:22.determine how they see fit. The Home Office, the Ministry of Justice,
:03:23. > :03:28.experts, lawyers and campaigners have been asked to come up to tidy
:03:29. > :03:36.all this up and will probably come up as a single bill some point in
:03:37. > :03:42.the future. In the shorter term she is looking for quick fix, smaller
:03:43. > :03:47.initiatives that can help people immediately. The other big thing is
:03:48. > :03:51.that she feels that by being talking about this and being open about the
:03:52. > :03:59.subject, it could give people who have been affected more confidence
:04:00. > :04:05.to come forward. It is being widely welcomed by campaigners. It is also
:04:06. > :04:11.a reminder that children are affected by domestic violence.
:04:12. > :04:13.One of the strongest storms possibly in decades,

:06:31. > :06:33.Even journalists from organisations that have been on his side
:06:34. > :06:35.are not happy with this turn of events,
:06:36. > :06:38.particularly when it comes to Russia.
:06:39. > :06:42.and the Russians were responsible for it
:06:43. > :06:44.and your people were on the phone with Russia

:13:06. > :13:08.Kraft is likely to return with another offer for Unilever,
:13:09. > :13:11.and if it happens, it would be one of the largest mergers
:13:12. > :13:17.Joining us from our London newsroom is the brand strategist,
:13:18. > :13:31.Thank you for your time. How do you think each site might benefit and in
:13:32. > :13:36.particular what is the Kraft times interest in Unilever? It is an
:13:37. > :13:42.interesting and exciting deal. For Kraft, Unilever is an attract if
:13:43. > :13:47.proposition. It is one of the brands most fit for the future and by that
:13:48. > :13:54.I mean they have a number of qualities and that make them better
:13:55. > :14:00.prepared. One of those is a cultural invasion. Secondly, they have strong
:14:01. > :14:04.commitment to diversity and backup conscious of their environmental and
:14:05. > :14:14.ethical impact and they are very attractive things. Do you mean in a
:14:15. > :14:18.post Brexit world? Yes and further. There is going to be some
:14:19. > :14:24.uncertainty as there may be for this deal but it is the long-term that is
:14:25. > :14:31.most attractive to both businesses. 115 billion pounds sounds like a lot
:14:32. > :14:38.of money. Unilever said it was not enough. It must be worth whatever
:14:39. > :14:44.they get paid for it. In years to come, there is a tangible value on
:14:45. > :14:52.the brand. They are strange brain in that they are visible to the
:14:53. > :14:57.consumer, playing civic roles. Unilever has a sustainable and
:14:58. > :15:05.ethical stand and it has tangible value beyond its current price.
:15:06. > :15:10.Kraft promise not to close factories and it did, could that happen and
:15:11. > :15:21.you think if this takeover was to take place? Unilever has
:15:22. > :15:25.successfully sacrificed some short-term profits for longer term
:15:26. > :15:29.gain and that could be societal gain as well as financial gain. These
:15:30. > :15:34.qualities must be things that Kraft is looking to emulate, to make
:15:35. > :15:38.themselves a more trusted and culturally significant business.
:15:39. > :15:41.When you look at their products it is hard to think that anyone at home
:15:42. > :15:46.wouldn't have something made by Unilever. God forbid they mess
:15:47. > :15:54.around with the ingredients of this, which Kraft did with Cadbury's, what
:15:55. > :15:59.would happen if they started to mess around with Marmite, for goodness
:16:00. > :16:06.sake? Maybe everybody would love it! May be! I can't quite see everybody
:16:07. > :16:14.Loving two. These businesses have been around a long time. There's a
:16:15. > :16:17.lot of jostling and positioning that will happen over the coming weeks
:16:18. > :16:21.and they've got about one month to make a final offer. You can imagine
:16:22. > :16:25.there's a lot of backroom, boardroom discussions going on about how they
:16:26. > :16:30.can build more successful Rands that consumers love for generations to
:16:31. > :16:35.come. If you work for Unilever how anxious should you be this morning?
:16:36. > :16:39.Yes, this is quite unsettling and uncertain and many things going on
:16:40. > :16:42.in the world today are uncertain. At the greatest benefit we can have of
:16:43. > :16:47.combating uncertainty is to have a much grander, long-term plan and
:16:48. > :16:52.that's what everyone has to be focused on, is what's going to be
:16:53. > :16:54.right for years to come, rather than the next few weeks. Thank you very
:16:55. > :17:00.much. Hard to imagine a Marmite that
:17:01. > :17:03.everyone loves. Where are you on that? Yes, a little

:17:42. > :17:56.at this morning's weather. Good morning. We will have a look at
:17:57. > :17:59.the weather in California in a moment. In the UK things are more
:18:00. > :18:06.straightforward. Sunshine developing today. A mild and misty start. Not
:18:07. > :18:10.so misty for northern parts of the UK because there is a stronger wind.
:18:11. > :18:14.We have rain around, which is moving slowly southwards. South of that
:18:15. > :18:19.rain band of the winds are lighter. A great start for most of England
:18:20. > :18:25.and Wales. There will be missed, hill fog and maybe coastal fog.
:18:26. > :18:28.Further north we have the rain across the north-west of England and
:18:29. > :18:34.southern parts of Northern Ireland, moving into the Irish Sea. Eastern
:18:35. > :18:38.Scotland, sheltered from those stronger south-westerly winds,
:18:39. > :18:44.should be largely dry and mild, with a little bit of sunshine. As the
:18:45. > :18:48.rain clears from Northern Ireland we get some sunshine. North Wales, the
:18:49. > :18:53.rest of England and Wales, cheering up. Wherever you are it is pretty
:18:54. > :18:57.mild and we could see 13 degrees where we get some sunshine around
:18:58. > :19:03.the Murray first. Rain for this even in the northern England and Wales.
:19:04. > :19:08.Windy weather across western parts of Scotland. On the whole a lot of
:19:09. > :19:14.cloud around overnight. A few breaks here and there, but generally about
:19:15. > :19:18.6-7. Cloudy tomorrow as you can imagine and we have this quite moist
:19:19. > :19:26.westerly air. Many western areas will keep cloud. Where we have
:19:27. > :19:30.shelter, maybe for eastern parts of Wales, seeing some sunshine. Even
:19:31. > :19:38.with the cloud it's a mild day. Temperatures typically 11- 12. As we
:19:39. > :19:42.head into the beginning of next week we can trace the air all the way
:19:43. > :19:46.from the Caribbean, coming over the Atlantic. There will be cloudy skies
:19:47. > :19:50.for many of us on Monday. Some rain in the north. Really strong winds as
:19:51. > :19:54.well bouncing over the hills. Trapped Inbetweeners weather systems
:19:55. > :19:59.we have the warmer air, so it should be a mild day on Monday. Ridiculous
:20:00. > :20:05.temperatures, possibly into the midteens. Across in North America
:20:06. > :20:08.with got some warm air, but with also got some very wet air that's
:20:09. > :20:13.been pounding California recently. You've seen this in the news of
:20:14. > :20:19.course earlier in the programme. Flooding is extensive, road closures
:20:20. > :20:29.and a lot of mountains is no. How a gust of 80 mph. This is something to
:20:30. > :20:35.do with explosive psycho Genesis, a rapid area of low pressure wringing
:20:36. > :20:38.wet and windy weather. Maybe three or four inches of rain in southern
:20:39. > :20:42.parts of California. It is the wet season but this is an unusual amount
:20:43. > :20:47.of rain, even for this time of the year. The weather system is moving
:20:48. > :20:50.away. Tonight it should turn dry, but there's more to come. This
:20:51. > :20:56.warmer weather is coming in from the Pacific. More rain and more snow on
:20:57. > :21:00.Sunday. The wet weather transferring further north towards Oregon. Let's
:21:01. > :21:04.have a look at what's happening across the pond. We have the wet
:21:05. > :21:15.weather making the news in California.
:21:16. > :21:24.Thank you. It does look as -- it looks nasty. We have someone from
:21:25. > :21:31.the fire department online with us. Can you give us a sense of what is
:21:32. > :21:35.causing this weather problem? It has been a very busy day for Los Angeles
:21:36. > :21:39.firefighters. We've seen the sharp increase in our emergency calls and
:21:40. > :21:45.this is largely due to the deluge of rain we've had. We have had in calls
:21:46. > :21:51.swallow up cars, we've had people trapped. -- sink holes. Vehicles
:21:52. > :21:55.were overcome on the street, in one incident in particular if the people
:21:56. > :22:05.were stranded. We've had 150 powerlines down over three to four
:22:06. > :22:10.hours. Some of them had deadly consequences. And large trees
:22:11. > :22:14.falling. We were ready for this and we did anticipate it and we have
:22:15. > :22:19.been able to handle the search. You mentioned deadly consequences. Have
:22:20. > :22:26.there been fatalities? Then have. One in particular, we had a large
:22:27. > :22:31.tree that had fallen in an area and took powerlines down with it. Sadly
:22:32. > :22:40.there was an adult male that came into contact with those powerlines
:22:41. > :22:43.or puddles of water. Our firefighters did an outstanding job
:22:44. > :22:47.putting themselves in harms way and were able to cut those powerlines,
:22:48. > :22:53.getting to that person, bring them to a waiting ambulance and transport
:22:54. > :23:00.them to a local hospital, but sadly they were pronounced dead at the
:23:01. > :23:10.hospital. You mentioned the heavy rainfall this is a sequence of
:23:11. > :23:14.event, a car slipping back into a sinkhole and you say that's happened
:23:15. > :23:21.a number of times? Yes, that was a very unique and dangerous incident
:23:22. > :23:27.that happened in an area we call Studio City. A car was upside down
:23:28. > :23:33.in a large sinkhole that was full of rushing water. There was a single
:23:34. > :23:37.occupants standing on that car. About ten people on the street. The
:23:38. > :23:44.firefighters jumped into action and rapidly lowered and extension ladder
:23:45. > :23:50.down. The female climbed out and we transported her to work local
:23:51. > :23:54.hospital. During the transport she told firefighters wanted was really
:23:55. > :23:58.like for her. We are looking at some of those images. She was in the car
:23:59. > :24:02.when it slipped back into the sinkhole. Is that right? That's
:24:03. > :24:07.right. She told firefighters that while she was driving she felt the
:24:08. > :24:14.car pitched at the left and then it tumbled into a sinkhole. The airbags
:24:15. > :24:19.went off and it kind of disoriented that individual. Water started
:24:20. > :24:23.rushing in, she tried to raise the windows but that wouldn't work. She
:24:24. > :24:29.was then able to open the door and climb out, she got on top of the car
:24:30. > :24:32.and started screaming for help. She told firefighters afterwards that
:24:33. > :24:36.she thought she was going to die unfortunately at that time she heard
:24:37. > :24:40.the firefighters yelled back to her. One of the things we can see is the
:24:41. > :24:46.speed of the waters just below where that sinkhole is. You must be
:24:47. > :24:52.worried that might be happening more? You're right. This isn't the
:24:53. > :24:57.only incident in Los Angeles where we've had sinkholes. We've had
:24:58. > :25:01.saturated water underneath pavements, creating problems. We've
:25:02. > :25:09.also had problems with mudslides over the past couple of weeks.
:25:10. > :25:12.Firefighters have remained very busy. They've done an outstanding
:25:13. > :25:18.job protecting properties. I know it's a very busy time for you. Thank
:25:19. > :25:22.you for your time this morning. That was somebody with a Los Angeles fire
:25:23. > :25:23.department, bringing us up-to-date with the problems they are facing
:25:24. > :25:28.with the severe weather. Voters will head to the polls in two
:25:29. > :25:31.by-elections on Thursday, one in Stoke-on-Trent
:25:32. > :25:33.and the other in Copeland. Both were prompted by
:25:34. > :25:36.the resignation of their Labour MP and, in both, the party
:25:37. > :25:39.faces a tough challenge Copeland is a coastal constituency
:25:40. > :25:43.in the Lake District which is home to the Sellafield nuclear plant
:25:44. > :25:58.and a bitter dispute over This is a constituency of beauty and
:25:59. > :26:02.of contrast. Its remoteness whether Fels of the Lake District meet the
:26:03. > :26:08.Irish Sea is both part of its appeal and part of the challenge of living
:26:09. > :26:14.here. And for the past 70 years it has been home to the nuclear plant
:26:15. > :26:22.at Sellafield, often controversial but a major employer in this area.
:26:23. > :26:26.More than 10,000 people working. -- work here. It has been Labour land
:26:27. > :26:31.since the 1930s but when Jamie Reed quick to return to the nuclear
:26:32. > :26:35.industry, the Conservatives sensed an opportunity to prune the red
:26:36. > :26:40.rose. So could history be made on Thursday? In the heart of the
:26:41. > :26:46.constituency at Fountain bridge, each year the pub hosts the world's
:26:47. > :26:54.biggest liar competition. What better place to discuss politics?
:26:55. > :26:59.This is a senior lecturer. He tells me much has been made of the
:27:00. > :27:04.Labour's leader's opposition to lose -- nuclear power. At the new plant
:27:05. > :27:13.in the area has now been backed by Jeremy Corbyn. Will his leadership
:27:14. > :27:17.you factor? This is a constituency which very much concentrate on local
:27:18. > :27:24.issues and apart from the nuclear issue there is also the hospitals in
:27:25. > :27:30.the area where certainly there is big concern for voters. It is the
:27:31. > :27:33.kind of thing that analysts in by-elections absolutely love. So
:27:34. > :27:41.many things to pore over and potentially a close result. To test
:27:42. > :27:45.the theory, we visited a hustings at a church in Whitehaven. All seven
:27:46. > :27:51.candidates are here. As for the question is, top of the agenda, the
:27:52. > :27:58.future of the local hospital. Also, jobs and transport links. Will you
:27:59. > :28:03.promise me and people like me in this area... And what is abundantly
:28:04. > :28:11.clear is that people here care about Whitehaven rather than Westminster.
:28:12. > :28:15.We are as Sellafield -- as Copeland totally different because we have
:28:16. > :28:19.nuclear on our doorstep. It concerns me greatly that there is a lot of
:28:20. > :28:23.political parties that are using it as a crux for their campaign, as to
:28:24. > :28:27.whether the nuclear industry will be enhanced or if it will be local
:28:28. > :28:34.issue. Because of what's been going on, the health service. That's a big
:28:35. > :28:39.issue. Yes, unemployment as well. I mean, there's an older population
:28:40. > :28:47.here as well. I mean, you need somebody... Services. The services
:28:48. > :28:52.look after you. In 2015 it was a two horse race. Labour held the seat,
:28:53. > :28:56.albeit by a reduced margin over the Conservatives, with Ukip coming
:28:57. > :29:02.third. There were large national issues discussed at the hustings.
:29:03. > :29:06.The economy, the NHS, climate change for example, at what people were
:29:07. > :29:11.really concerned with was the future of the local hospitals, the local
:29:12. > :29:15.schools and especially the nuclear industry. This would be a boat
:29:16. > :29:21.people told me about Jeremy Corbyn, it will be a vote about Copeland.
:29:22. > :29:25.The by-election results may well be seized upon by the winners as

:40:57. > :41:09.Let's talk tipping. Some cruise liners are adding as much as ?90 for
:41:10. > :41:18.an eight-day trip. Unless you fill out a form to opt out. We talk to
:41:19. > :41:23.the travel editor who has been investigating this. First, let's see
:41:24. > :41:32.what people in Manchester had to say. I always check whether the
:41:33. > :41:36.waiter or waitress is go to get the money before I do it and I will
:41:37. > :41:44.either give more or not based on that. I do feel you are being forced
:41:45. > :41:48.to pay it. I pay it because it is embarrassing if you don't and I do
:41:49. > :41:54.not think it should be. If you are not receiving good service, I think
:41:55. > :42:00.you would feel put out. I am not bothered either way. If I feel like
:42:01. > :42:07.a need to tip, I just do. It does not bother me at all. Simon is here
:42:08. > :42:11.with us. There are rules, when it comes to holiday companies,
:42:12. > :42:17.outlining exactly what they are charging. Exactly. In travel, you
:42:18. > :42:23.should be able to pay what the company says it costs. Budget
:42:24. > :42:29.airlines are typical example, they like to add extras for assigned
:42:30. > :42:35.seats, check baggage is but all you want is the flying you have to be
:42:36. > :42:41.able to buy it at that price. The basic price. Yes. They cannot add on
:42:42. > :42:49.tax or other fees. This kind of charges are going, -- are they
:42:50. > :42:56.common on cruise? If you have not been on a cruise you would not know
:42:57. > :43:02.it but if you have, they are. Some cruises will actually add typically
:43:03. > :43:07.?10 per person per day to your on-board account unless you say I
:43:08. > :43:16.will not. I will reward people individually and that is OK and they
:43:17. > :43:21.make it clear. I have been looking at Norwegian Cruise lines and it is
:43:22. > :43:26.different. They say they have a fixed service charge. There is no
:43:27. > :43:32.indication that it is discretionary. I talk to a Norwegian Cruise line
:43:33. > :43:41.and they said if you do not want to pay it you feel out a form but it is
:43:42. > :43:45.skating on thin ice in terms of how optional it is an a lot of people
:43:46. > :43:51.would think they cannot escape it although, as I must say, they stress
:43:52. > :43:57.you can decline to pay it if you want to. People may or may not want
:43:58. > :44:02.to do that. They may have a sneaking suspicion that cruise liners are
:44:03. > :44:08.doing that is because they are keeping the wages low so they are
:44:09. > :44:16.using it as a way to get more money but your wages will stay the same.
:44:17. > :44:21.Do you know what I mean? All the analysis I have done of this
:44:22. > :44:26.industry suggests that effectively you are helping to pay the wage bill
:44:27. > :44:32.and they are assumed everybody will pay the mandatory amount and lots of
:44:33. > :44:38.US ships, and many are run by US companies, people will happily pay
:44:39. > :44:42.these charges upfront, you are tipping in advance for services you
:44:43. > :44:48.have not received which I think for a lot of British people it would be
:44:49. > :44:52.an odd thing to do. If you are thinking of adding some tips to my
:44:53. > :44:56.bill, please do not I will tip people individually. Just checking
:44:57. > :45:03.if I have anything with me, I'm sorry. I have really enjoyed it,
:45:04. > :45:12.thank you very much, can you split it? If you have any thoughts, about
:45:13. > :45:17.tipping, how it is done, if it is done in advance. Tell us your
:45:18. > :45:21.thoughts. You have your hairdresser, taxi driver, the outline grocery...
:45:22. > :45:26.The guest who comes into the studio. Here's Darren with a look
:45:27. > :45:35.at this morning's weather. You could take a holiday to the
:45:36. > :45:38.Caribbean or you could wait for that air to reach out shores, which is
:45:39. > :45:46.what will happen next week. We have fog this morning. Very grey and
:45:47. > :45:51.murky. A great picture across many parts of England and Wales. Further
:45:52. > :45:55.north we have more of a breeze, lifting any mist and fog. To the
:45:56. > :45:59.south of that across much of England and Wales, southern and central
:46:00. > :46:03.areas in particular, are very grey and misty start. Hill fog and
:46:04. > :46:07.coastal fog lingering through the morning. Further north we have this
:46:08. > :46:11.rain that is still affecting southern parts of Northern Ireland
:46:12. > :46:14.and moving across the Irish Sea. And some wet and windy weather in
:46:15. > :46:20.western Scotland. Eastern Scotland is more sheltered from the
:46:21. > :46:25.south-westerly winds. There may be sunshine. As the rain clears away
:46:26. > :46:30.from some parts of Ireland it should cheer up with some sunshine. Later
:46:31. > :46:34.in England and Wales some sunshine in the afternoon at a mile day. Up
:46:35. > :46:39.to 13 degrees in the south-east, possibly around the Murray serve as
:46:40. > :46:42.well. Rain towards the end of the day in northern England and north
:46:43. > :46:46.Wales. That will peter out further south. Wet and windy weather
:46:47. > :46:52.continuing in Scotland, especially in the west of the country. A few
:46:53. > :46:57.breaks across sheltered eastern areas, but generally temperatures
:46:58. > :47:03.staying at 6-7. In the Sunday and we start pretty cloudy. We will keep
:47:04. > :47:09.this moist westerly airflow. Around western parts of the UK expat cloud
:47:10. > :47:16.to continue, but Shelton eastern areas and Wales seeing sunshine. Not
:47:17. > :47:21.huge amounts. Can we -- temperatures similar to today. Then we trace the
:47:22. > :47:29.back from the Caribbean. It is coming over the Atlantic, picking up
:47:30. > :47:33.cloud. The warmer areas trapped between these weather fronts. Low
:47:34. > :47:37.pressure on into the north of the country on Monday. A lot of cloud
:47:38. > :47:41.around on Monday. Windy weather, especially to the east of the hills,
:47:42. > :47:47.but look at those temperatures. About nine degrees. We could be
:47:48. > :47:57.getting 15 or 16. Short and sharp bursts. Temperatures nearer to
:47:58. > :48:00.average. Spring isn't far away. I think I will have to get out into
:48:01. > :48:04.the garden this weekend. It looks lovely.
:48:05. > :48:05.What will you do, mow? Get rid of weeds!
:48:06. > :48:07.We'll be back with the headlines at 8am.
:48:08. > :48:16.Now it's time for Newswatch with Samira Ahmed.
:48:17. > :48:19.Hello and welcome to Newswatch with me, Samira Ahmed.
:48:20. > :48:23.Coming up: As more and more people use social media as their primary
:48:24. > :48:28.source of news, how well is BBC journalism doing in this new world?
:48:29. > :48:31.And were this week's reports about pensioners being better off
:48:32. > :48:38.than those of working age misleading and divisive?
:48:39. > :48:42.First, the ongoing tension between Donald Trump and the media
:48:43. > :48:45.broke out into open hostilities again this week at a news
:48:46. > :48:49.The BBC's Jon Sopel had this encounter with the president.
:48:50. > :49:07.On the travel ban would you accept that that was a good example
:49:08. > :49:20.Spiky exchanges of that kind seem likely to continue and we will no
:49:21. > :49:22.doubt be examining the BBC's relationship with the White House
:49:23. > :49:26.again soon, but for now let's leave it with a couple of comments posted
:49:27. > :49:48.But rather more felt like these viewers.
:49:49. > :49:51.And Penny Paisley agreed it was a victory on points
:49:52. > :50:03.The phenomenon of items on news bulletins being used to trail
:50:04. > :50:06.forthcoming BBC current affairs programmes has been noted many
:50:07. > :50:11.Does this practice simply make the most of the BBC's journalism
:50:12. > :50:16.across its output, or are these just plugs disguised as news?
:50:17. > :50:19.Tony Francis thought two examples also on the news at six at the start
:50:20. > :50:21.of this week fell into the latter category.
:50:22. > :50:24.On Monday the first headline was the fact that the prisons
:50:25. > :50:32.are in crisis and then the newsreader went on to say
:50:33. > :50:34.there was a Panorama programme later in the evening showing
:50:35. > :50:40.The second item on the BBC News at 6 o'clock was the fact that
:50:41. > :50:43.a supermarket has been keeping special offers open for months
:50:44. > :50:53.There was to be another BBC programme at 7:30pm to do
:50:54. > :51:00.Seems to me that the BBC is not reporting news at all,
:51:01. > :51:04.it is actually making its news, or trying to and at the same time
:51:05. > :51:06.simply a matter of promoting your own programmes.
:51:07. > :51:12.This is not what the news seems to me to be about.
:51:13. > :51:15.Monday saw a number of complaints about a story which featured
:51:16. > :51:21.across several bulletins and services, including
:51:22. > :51:25.the News At One, introduced here by Sophie Raworth.
:51:26. > :51:28.Pensioners are on average better off than those of working age
:51:29. > :51:31.for the first time according to new research by the think tank
:51:32. > :51:35.It says a new wave of pensioners are more likely than previous
:51:36. > :51:38.generations to own their own home, have generous private pensions
:51:39. > :51:45.Not mentioned in the introduction, though it was in the report that
:51:46. > :51:47.followed, was that the calculation made by the Resolution Foundation
:51:48. > :51:50.was based on household income after housing costs such
:51:51. > :51:55.The BBC's own reality check on the news website said this
:51:56. > :51:58.important factor had been mentioned little in the coverage.
:51:59. > :52:01.It found that before housing costs are taken into account,
:52:02. > :52:05.working age households still have higher incomes.
:52:06. > :52:09.A number of older viewers felt that both the topline claim of the story,
:52:10. > :52:13.that pensioners are better off than workers, and the way
:52:14. > :52:15.that the statistics were reported, was unbalanced.
:52:16. > :52:20.Wynne Merrill has put it with some sarcasm in his e-mail.
:52:21. > :52:24.It appears that people at the end of their careers are better off
:52:25. > :52:28.The facts seems to suggest that those who have worked,
:52:29. > :52:30.paid off their mortgages, saved and paid into public
:52:31. > :52:32.and occupational pension schemes have greater resources than those
:52:33. > :52:45.Now, on Thursday the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told the BBC
:52:46. > :52:47.that fake news had damaged public debate, following criticism
:52:48. > :52:52.that his site had not done enough to prevent made up or distorted
:52:53. > :52:55.stories from appearing on its news feed.
:52:56. > :52:58.The BBC has an interest in Facebook's reputation
:52:59. > :53:00.as it is increasingly using it as a platform
:53:01. > :53:08.It's part of a strategy of embracing new, digital technologies and social
:53:09. > :53:10.media, a revolution in how the BBC reaches its audience.
:53:11. > :53:14.Once upon a time, BBC News had only two means of broadcasting,
:53:15. > :53:23.But now it is faced with a vast increasing number of ways
:53:24. > :53:30.There is Twitter, where the BBC's breaking news account has almost 30
:53:31. > :53:33.million followers, Instagram where more than 3 million people
:53:34. > :53:36.follow BBC News, and of course Facebook, where the corporation has
:53:37. > :53:39.the largest page of any news organisation in the world.
:53:40. > :53:45.In addition, it has started streaming some of it output
:53:46. > :53:48.via Facebook live, as well as other live streaming apps
:53:49. > :53:54.But has all this activity left some traditional licence fee paying
:53:55. > :54:00.Penelope Noel thinks so, e-mailing us to say: The focus
:54:01. > :54:02.on digital media discriminates against the very many people
:54:03. > :54:07.who are unable to afford or use digital devices.
:54:08. > :54:09.Stories like the investigation earlier this month into wildlife
:54:10. > :54:19.traffickers selling baby chimpanzees are now rolled out in carefully
:54:20. > :54:21.targeted ways to different digital destinations,
:54:22. > :54:23.attracting significant traffic on a variety of platforms.
:54:24. > :54:26.The benefit of this strategy for BBC News is obvious in capturing hard
:54:27. > :54:34.to reach, younger audiences where they are already
:54:35. > :54:36.spending their time online, but there are dangers as well.
:54:37. > :54:38.Facebook, for instance, has faced mounting criticism
:54:39. > :54:42.for publishing fake news, so how does the BBC avoid being seen
:54:43. > :54:43.as just another potentially unreliable news source?
:54:44. > :54:48.And does its presence on the site risk giving away its content
:54:49. > :54:51.without bringing people back to spend time on the BBC's core
:54:52. > :54:54.Let's explore those questions with the social media editor
:54:55. > :55:00.How important are social media platforms like Facebook to BBC
:55:01. > :55:05.One of the things we have to realise about Facebook is it controls
:55:06. > :55:08.and manages a huge proportion of the social web.
:55:09. > :55:09.Facebook owns Instagram, whatsApp, Facebook Messenger,
:55:10. > :55:18.there are 1.9 billion active users on Facebook.
:55:19. > :55:21.For the BBC not to be producing content and distributing it
:55:22. > :55:33.It would be a loss for our audiences that inhabit those spaces
:55:34. > :55:37.and want to explore more of our content and see and engage
:55:38. > :55:38.and enrich themselves with the information
:55:39. > :55:42.They don't pay a licence fee, certainly Facebook doesn't.
:55:43. > :55:46.What is the deal that the BBC has done with them for providing them
:55:47. > :55:50.Well, Facebook is an open platform and there is nothing to stop any
:55:51. > :55:52.publisher from producing content and distributing it
:55:53. > :55:57.We have an arrangement with Facebook in that we produce content for live
:55:58. > :56:01.Outside of that we are publishing regular content all the time
:56:02. > :56:04.onto Facebook, links to articles on the BBC News website,
:56:05. > :56:07.videos that we are producing across BBC News, and we will
:56:08. > :56:12.As we know, Facebook has this problem with fake news.
:56:13. > :56:16.One wonders if there is not just a danger that the BBC is just
:56:17. > :56:19.another provider on there and a lot of the audience do not notice
:56:20. > :56:25.They are just looking for the story and the BBC doesn't really get
:56:26. > :56:32.Well, I think this is all about our values and what is right
:56:33. > :56:47.We are not compromising anything in terms of BBC values,
:56:48. > :56:49.objectivity and impartiality by producing content and publishing
:56:50. > :56:52.Clearly, the content that we are producing and publishing
:56:53. > :56:54.into that space is alongside lots of other content.
:56:55. > :56:57.We cannot vouch for the authenticity, the voracity,
:56:58. > :57:00.of other people's content, but what we can do is search
:57:01. > :57:03.for our own and the more content that we produce into that space that
:57:04. > :57:07.people see, the more they will learn to understand and trust and value
:57:08. > :57:10.the BBC and see it relevant to their lives and the things that
:57:11. > :57:15.What we are learning all the time here is how to produce content
:57:16. > :57:18.in a valuable way for an audience on social media.
:57:19. > :57:21.And it isn't just a question of taking a television package
:57:22. > :57:23.and sticking it into a Facebook page.
:57:24. > :57:26.You have to think about how your audience will come to it,
:57:27. > :57:29.see it, engage with it, look to share it and so forth,
:57:30. > :57:31.so you are having to retailor, repurpose, reposition,
:57:32. > :57:35.think about the visuals, the impact, the text that you are putting
:57:36. > :57:37.at the top of the piece and so forth.
:57:38. > :57:41.But also we get a lot of complaints at Newswatch that BBC News has
:57:42. > :57:46.Is there a danger of trying to give social media what it wants,
:57:47. > :57:49.which might be a preoccupation with stories that really are not
:57:50. > :57:52.very serious and that is affecting the news content that is produced
:57:53. > :57:56.I think all the time the preoccupation that I have
:57:57. > :58:00.and the colleagues who work with me in social media at the BBC have,
:58:01. > :58:02.is giving our audiences things that are editorially valuable
:58:03. > :58:06.and interesting, but at the same time will be the kind of things
:58:07. > :58:09.we know that will interest them from a social media perspective.
:58:10. > :58:12.It is not about dumbing down or abandoning serious news values,
:58:13. > :58:16.it is about saying, we have got a really important story to tell
:58:17. > :58:18.you about Syria, we have got an important story
:58:19. > :58:27.about the American election, or whatever the story happens to be
:58:28. > :58:30.at any moment in time, and thinking how can we make that
:58:31. > :58:34.interesting for someone who might be coming to that story for the first
:58:35. > :58:36.time on a social media feed or platform?
:58:37. > :58:40.It can seem sometimes as though social media is not operating under
:58:41. > :58:42.the same editorial guidelines as the rest of the BBC.
:58:43. > :58:46.How far are their guidelines about how you write for social media
:58:47. > :58:47.similar to the traditional BBC News editorials?
:58:48. > :58:51.We have a lot of guidelines and we have a lot of editorial
:58:52. > :58:54.thought that has gone into them and we have very rigorous compliance
:58:55. > :58:58.To my mind social media is another form of broadcasting.
:58:59. > :59:01.It is not a marketing exercise, it is not an additional process
:59:02. > :59:04.that we join up onto the end of a television programme,
:59:05. > :59:08.We really want to reach and engage those audiences,
:59:09. > :59:11.we want to encourage them to explore more of the content
:59:12. > :59:22.that we are producing, but we need to take it seriously.
:59:23. > :59:25.Just as a television programme, if you were writing the script
:59:26. > :59:27.for the six o'clock News or the ten o'clock news,
:59:28. > :59:31.you would write the first draft, somebody else would look over it,
:59:32. > :59:34.there would be a process by which that script will then get
:59:35. > :59:39.Exactly the same processes take place with our social media writing.
:59:40. > :59:44.Thank you for all your comments this week.
:59:45. > :59:48.If you want to share your opinions on BBC News and current affairs,
:59:49. > :59:52.or even appear in the programme, you can call us.
:59:53. > :00:08.That is all from us, we will be back to hear your thoughts about BBC News
:00:09. > :00:52.coverage again next week. Goodbye.
:00:53. > :00:55.Hello this is Breakfast, with Rachel Burden and Charlie Stayt.
:00:56. > :01:00.The Prime Minister promises a new law to tackle domestic violence.
:01:01. > :01:03.Theresa May says there's a lack of clarity in the current system
:01:04. > :01:17.and that too many victims are being let down.
:01:18. > :01:22.Good morning, it's Saturday 18th February.
:01:23. > :01:28.Also ahead: A giant storm known as a weather bomb hits parts
:01:29. > :01:32.of California causing torrential rain and a trail of devastation.
:01:33. > :01:35.The US food giant Kraft says it won't give up as Unilever strongly
:01:36. > :01:39.rejects its multi-billion pound takeover bid.
:01:40. > :01:42.President Trump calls the media the "enemy of the American people"
:01:43. > :01:44.ahead of what's being described as a campaign rally he's
:01:45. > :01:54.We'll find out how they're preparing to take one of the last remaining
:01:55. > :01:58.strongholds of the so-called Islamic State.
:01:59. > :02:01.In sport: The Imps are hoping to cause another FA Cup shock.
:02:02. > :02:04.Having knocked out Ipswich and Brighton, non-league
:02:05. > :02:07.Lincoln City now have Premier League side Burnley in their sights.
:02:08. > :02:19.It is mild and misty especially across England and Wales. We should
:02:20. > :02:24.get some sunshine developing with the chance of rain across the north
:02:25. > :02:29.perhaps. It stays mild if rather cloudy on Sunday.
:02:30. > :02:39.Theresa May is launching a new law to combat domestic violence
:02:40. > :02:43.The Prime Minister says domestic abuse is a "life shattering
:02:44. > :02:45.abhorrent crime" and tackling it is a key priority
:02:46. > :02:49.Official figures suggest that every year more than a million women
:02:50. > :02:51.experience domestic abuse in England and Wales.
:02:52. > :02:55.Among men that figure stands at just over half a million.
:02:56. > :02:58.Last year 75,000 people were convicted of domestic abuse.
:02:59. > :03:01.That's the highest number ever recorded.
:03:02. > :03:05.There was also the highest ever conviction rate of 75% but some
:03:06. > :03:07.charities are concerned that too many victims remain
:03:08. > :03:12.Our political correspondent, Adam Fleming, is in Westminster
:03:13. > :03:33.Adam, Theresa May spent six years as Home Secretary so is this
:03:34. > :03:43.Downing Street say not at all. She introduced pieces of legislation
:03:44. > :03:46.giving people the right to find out if there partner had been convicted
:03:47. > :03:52.of domestic violence in a previous relationship, and making controlling
:03:53. > :03:56.your partner illegal. The problem she has identified as Prime Minister
:03:57. > :04:01.is domestic violence is not one crime in one bit of legislation, it
:04:02. > :04:04.is lots of different laws apply differently by different police
:04:05. > :04:07.forces which means if you are affected you will be treated
:04:08. > :04:13.differently depending where macula. The call has gone out to government
:04:14. > :04:17.departments, experts and campaigners to find out the solutions of this is
:04:18. > :04:19.the start of a process that will probably end with the new piece of
:04:20. > :04:27.legislation going in front of parliament in the future. The Prime
:04:28. > :04:31.Minister wants quick wins, easy and initiatives that can help people
:04:32. > :04:35.straightaway. She feels there is a big social aspect and that by
:04:36. > :04:39.talking about it and getting MPs and you and I talking about it that
:04:40. > :04:43.might help people who have been affected to have the confidence to
:04:44. > :04:46.come forward and reported to the police because the charities say it
:04:47. > :04:51.is not just the police, it is also victims having the confidence to
:04:52. > :04:55.come forward and report it. We will talk to one of those charities who
:04:56. > :05:00.support victims of domestic abuse the programme.
:05:01. > :05:02.California is being hit by what could be one
:05:03. > :05:06.The so called "weather bomb" has drenched the state,
:05:07. > :05:08.with reports of at least two people dead.
:05:09. > :05:10.In one neighbourhood in Los Angeles a sinkhole swallowed two cars.
:05:11. > :05:17.Earlier I spoke to Captain Erik Scott from the Los Angeles Fire
:05:18. > :05:24.Yes, sir, it's been a very busy day for Los Angeles firefighters.
:05:25. > :05:27.We've certainly seen a sharp increase in our emergency calls.
:05:28. > :05:29.This is largely due to the deluge of rain we've had.
:05:30. > :05:31.We've had sinkholes, swallowed up cars, people trapped
:05:32. > :05:33.where we had to perform swift water rescues,
:05:34. > :05:35.vehicles were overcome on the streets.
:05:36. > :05:38.In one incident in particular 15 people were stranded.
:05:39. > :05:44.We've had 150 down power lines over three to four hours.
:05:45. > :05:47.Some of which had deadly consequences.
:05:48. > :05:50.And very large trees which have been falling,
:05:51. > :05:56.so it's kept firefighters very very busy.
:05:57. > :06:01.This is a sequence of events caught on a live camera of a car slipping
:06:02. > :06:07.You mentioned that's been happening several times.
:06:08. > :06:12.That was a very unique and dangerous incident that happened in an area
:06:13. > :06:21.When firefighters arrived on scene we had a car that was upside down
:06:22. > :06:24.in a large dark sinkhole that was full of rushing water
:06:25. > :06:27.and we had a single occupant standing on top of that upside down
:06:28. > :06:30.Fortunately the firefighters jumped into action.
:06:31. > :06:35.They rapidly lowered a 20 foot extension ladder down to this female
:06:36. > :06:37.and let her climb out and transported her
:06:38. > :06:47.She told firefighters afterwards that she thought was going to die.
:06:48. > :06:52.That was Captain Scott from the US Fire Department bringing us
:06:53. > :06:56.up-to-date with the situation in California.
:06:57. > :06:59.President Donald Trump is preparing to address a rally of supporters
:07:00. > :07:02.in Florida at the end of an eventful week for the new US government.
:07:03. > :07:04.Yesterday, Mr Trump sought to focus on his promise
:07:05. > :07:07.to boost manufacturing jobs, but later resumed his criticism
:07:08. > :07:09.of the media, branding the industry as an "enemy of the American
:07:10. > :07:19.The President of the United States may have been in office
:07:20. > :07:23.for less than a month but it is clear this is a part
:07:24. > :07:25.of the job he enjoys, addressing an audience
:07:26. > :07:33.We love America and we are going to protect America.
:07:34. > :07:36.We love our workers and we are going to protect our workers.
:07:37. > :07:39.At a tour of Boeing in South Carolina,
:07:40. > :07:41.he reiterated one of his biggest campaign promises.
:07:42. > :07:53.Next stop, Florida, a place that supported him when he needed it
:07:54. > :07:57.most, for an event that some say is part of a strategy that will last
:07:58. > :08:01.It is unusual for a president to hold a rally like
:08:02. > :08:03.this so soon after inauguration but much
:08:04. > :08:07.of what Donald Trump has done so far has been unconventional,
:08:08. > :08:09.including a worsening relationship with the mainstream media.
:08:10. > :08:12.I'm not ranting and raving, I'm just telling you.
:08:13. > :08:17.Last night, Donald Trump expressed his displeasure
:08:18. > :08:21.in his favourite way with another critical tweet.
:08:22. > :08:23.Even journalists from organisations that have been on his side
:08:24. > :08:25.are not happy with this turn of events,
:08:26. > :08:29.particularly when it comes to Russia.
:08:30. > :08:33.Your opposition was hacked and the Russians were
:08:34. > :08:35.responsible for it and your people were
:08:36. > :08:37.on the phone with Russia on the same day
:08:38. > :08:39.it was happening, and we are fools for
:08:40. > :08:48.Donald Trump has a lot his plate, a vacancy for a national
:08:49. > :08:50.security adviser, falling approval ratings
:08:51. > :08:52.and accusations of chaos in his administration.
:08:53. > :08:55.He will be hoping that by going directly to voters,
:08:56. > :08:58.he can at least expect some warmth in the Sunshine State.
:08:59. > :09:07.The Anglo-Dutch company Unilever, which makes brands including
:09:08. > :09:09.Marmite and PG Tips, has rejected a ?115 billion takeover
:09:10. > :09:13.bid from the American food giant Kraft-Heinz.
:09:14. > :09:16.Unilever said there was no basis for further negotiations,
:09:17. > :09:19.but Kraft has said it will continue to work on a potential deal,
:09:20. > :09:21.which would make it the second biggest takeover
:09:22. > :09:27.Here's more from our business correspondent.
:09:28. > :09:34.Unilever makes some of the best known brands in anyone's kitchen,
:09:35. > :09:35.from Philadelphia cheese to not-everyone's favourite,
:09:36. > :09:39.Put those brands together with Kraft-Heinz and hardly
:09:40. > :09:42.a country on earth will not know their products.
:09:43. > :09:46.Kraft-Heinz is worth almost ?90 billion and includes some of these
:09:47. > :09:51.It has higher profit margins but a smaller
:09:52. > :09:53.presence in growing markets such as Asia.
:09:54. > :09:56.Unilever is worth around ?115 billion and owns these brands,
:09:57. > :09:58.which, although they enjoy lower profit margins,
:09:59. > :10:06.It also has 14 factories here including Norwich,
:10:07. > :10:10.Liverpool and Gloucester but after Kraft reneged on promises
:10:11. > :10:13.it made when it bought Cadbury seven years
:10:14. > :10:15.ago, some are calling for the government to intervene
:10:16. > :10:21.This is one of the practical consequences of the Brexit vote.
:10:22. > :10:29.The collpase of the pound, cheap assets, overseas companies
:10:30. > :10:32.moving in and taking over British assets cheaply
:10:33. > :10:36.potentially very much against the national interest.
:10:37. > :10:39.Unilever has rejected Kraft's first bid but it will not be the last.
:10:40. > :10:41.Expect shareholders, workers and politicians to also
:10:42. > :10:47.Police in Malaysia say they've arrested a North Korean man
:10:48. > :10:50.in connection with the death of Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother
:10:51. > :10:52.of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un.
:10:53. > :10:54.He died on Monday after apparently being poisoned
:10:55. > :11:01.The man is the fourth suspect to be detained.

:11:31. > :11:32.These are the men of Iraq's Emergency Response Division,
:11:33. > :11:44.It took 100 days to take the city's east.
:11:45. > :11:46.They've been rested and re-equipped, but the battle scars
:11:47. > :11:54.The west of Mosul will be a different battle.

:12:01. > :12:10.Nearly three quarters of a million are still in the city.
:12:11. > :12:17.They'll be in the middle of this firepower.
:12:18. > :12:20.When these men were in the east they experienced
:12:21. > :12:25.So the question they are asking is, what does the Islamic

:13:21. > :13:25.that have been planned in Western Europe.
:13:26. > :13:28.So this work is not simply freeing people in Mosul
:13:29. > :13:33.from having to live under this brutal regime.

:14:18. > :14:19.on the government to reassess their proposals to update business
:14:20. > :14:21.rates after three former trade The new rates come into force
:14:22. > :14:26.in England on April 1st. Scotland and Wales will also see
:14:27. > :14:28.changes to their business Business rates are a bit
:14:29. > :14:34.like the commercial version of council tax, and are based
:14:35. > :14:37.on the rental value of the space It's the first time in seven years
:14:38. > :14:46.rates have been reviewed. Nearly three quarters of businesses
:14:47. > :14:49.will see a fall or no change but some businesses are facing
:14:50. > :14:53.a sharp rise in the rates they pay. Since properties were last valued
:14:54. > :14:56.in 2010, businesses have made more than a million challenges
:14:57. > :14:59.to the amount they're charged. It's the sheer number of these

:15:02. > :15:11.which include a clause to dismiss any appeals for incorrect valuations
:15:12. > :15:15.that are within the boundaries of That's proving controversial

:15:21. > :15:26.signed a letter Businesses are up in arms around the
:15:27. > :15:32.country but we should point out that some people have done pretty well
:15:33. > :15:36.out of these changes. Yes. The government has tipped the playing
:15:37. > :15:39.field towards small businesses. A lot of small businesses have been
:15:40. > :15:45.taken out of this altogether which is something we pushed for, to look
:15:46. > :15:50.after the most vulnerable. They say them are not making any extra money
:15:51. > :15:55.out of this. Do you buy that? Not quite. Some new businesses are there
:15:56. > :16:02.and some have been expanded so there seems to be bit of extra tax --
:16:03. > :16:06.extra tax being taken. The important thing is what do they do if they
:16:07. > :16:11.think their bill is not right? It is not just a London story. London
:16:12. > :16:16.prices have risen dramatically in the last seven years. If a business
:16:17. > :16:24.thinks their bill is too high they should appeal. You mentioned about
:16:25. > :16:28.reasonable professional professional judgment, but they have to appeal
:16:29. > :16:33.and bring evidence together at the start of the process, which is
:16:34. > :16:37.really a administrative and burdensome. Even if they win their
:16:38. > :16:41.appeal, at the end of that process they could have been appeal
:16:42. > :16:44.dismissed because it is somehow within the boundaries of
:16:45. > :16:48.professional judgment and nobody knows what that means. If there is a
:16:49. > :16:54.disagreement over the valuation and that leads to the appeal process,
:16:55. > :16:58.what is the alternative? The current system is burdensome and
:16:59. > :17:02.problematic. You have cowboy ratings agencies. If you put yourself in the
:17:03. > :17:07.mind of a small business with a big bill you will get letters in saying
:17:08. > :17:11.we can help you negotiate, that is not right, we want to see action
:17:12. > :17:15.against those ratings agencies and there is action coming that will
:17:16. > :17:19.tighten up the rules. You should have your moment in court to make

:18:30. > :18:33.be business friendly, possibly not corporate friendly, but in terms of
:18:34. > :18:39.small businesses, why are they allowing this situation to emerge?
:18:40. > :18:44.They need the money, ?24 billion from the property tax. It is an
:18:45. > :18:48.unfair tax. Your local High Street, a business property that has

:19:10. > :19:13.will change the business community. Got a small villages and towns and
:19:14. > :19:19.you will see empty units on the High Street and one of the reason is the
:19:20. > :19:26.business rates system. Craig is from the Federation for small businesses.
:19:27. > :19:35.We have seen pictures of the extreme weather causing chaos in parts of
:19:36. > :19:39.California. It is called a Genesis. It is a tricky story for people
:19:40. > :19:44.living in California. What is this situation.
:19:45. > :19:51.It is the rainy season but what we have seen over the past few weeks
:19:52. > :19:54.and months is pretty extreme. Some southern parts of California have
:19:55. > :19:57.had two and a half times the normal rainfall in the last two months. It
:19:58. > :20:10.follows a extreme drought. We have had winds of 80 mph. It is
:20:11. > :20:20.the first time I have heard this Genesis term. Rapid cycle Genesis,
:20:21. > :20:24.essentially a deepening area of low pressure responsible for the winds
:20:25. > :20:28.and rain. Three or four inches of rain across some parts of
:20:29. > :20:31.California. That area of low pressure and the wetter weather is
:20:32. > :20:39.going to be pulling away in the next few hours or so but in the Pacific
:20:40. > :20:42.we have this conveyor belt of warm and wet air that continues to feed
:20:43. > :20:49.the system so we will see more wind and rain and maintenance no on
:20:50. > :20:53.Sunday and after that the wettest weather transfers further north
:20:54. > :21:01.towards Oregon. At home not a great deal of rain but across the southern
:21:02. > :21:09.half of the UK great and misty. -- grey. This is my favourite picture
:21:10. > :21:13.of the day so far. It is generally not as misty across the northern
:21:14. > :21:18.half of the UK because of the breeze. There is also rain moving
:21:19. > :21:23.slowly southwards. Still largely dry across England and Wales, grey and
:21:24. > :21:31.misty, some hail and coastal fog which will linger through the
:21:32. > :21:35.morning. Still some rain around across southern parts of Northern
:21:36. > :21:39.Ireland. Wetter weather with stronger winds across western parts
:21:40. > :21:44.of Scotland. Eastern Scotland more sheltered from this wind direction.
:21:45. > :21:48.Largely dry with some sunshine. As the rain clears to parts of Northern
:21:49. > :22:02.Ireland we should get some sun sign. Slowly up across England and Wales.
:22:03. > :22:07.Mild for all of us. A little bit of rain and drizzle across the north of
:22:08. > :22:13.England and North Wales. That will be to rout as it heads southwards.
:22:14. > :22:21.Windy weather across Scotland. Particularly in the west. Cloudy
:22:22. > :22:26.tonight, and a grey start, not of much mist and fog, but western areas
:22:27. > :22:35.will stay cloudy with drizzle around the hills and coasts. East Wales
:22:36. > :22:44.should see some sunshine. Temperatures similar to today. Some
:22:45. > :22:48.rain in the north-west later. The air is coming from the Caribbean.
:22:49. > :22:51.Across the Atlantic towards the UK with mild air capped between these
:22:52. > :23:02.weather fronts there will be rain on Monday and it will be windy. These
:23:03. > :23:04.temperatures are real, possibly even 16 degrees, crazy for this time of
:23:05. > :23:14.years. Some people are going to have a
:23:15. > :23:23.really nice day on Monday. I fear we are going to get caught in the rain.
:23:24. > :23:25.The Prime Minister says victims of domestic violence are being "let
:23:26. > :23:28.down by the legal system" and is promising to increase
:23:29. > :23:30.convictions for what she describes as a "life shattering
:23:31. > :23:34.Theresa May has announced new laws as part of a Domestic Violence
:23:35. > :23:37.and Abuse Act, which it's hoped will raise awareness and lead
:23:38. > :23:44.Let's talk now to Diana Barran, from the charity Safe Lives,
:23:45. > :23:44.who joins us from our London newsroom.
:23:45. > :23:50.Talk us through these new laws and what kind of a difference they might
:23:51. > :23:57.make. We don't have a lot of detail yet. What the Prime Minister has
:23:58. > :24:01.said as she wants to simplify the current legislation which is in many
:24:02. > :24:08.different acts and has contributed to a really inconsistent response
:24:09. > :24:13.across the country, but also we need to think, and we hope very much that
:24:14. > :24:18.a new law will address, the needs of those victims and children who do
:24:19. > :24:22.not report to the police, so about 80% of people who experienced
:24:23. > :24:25.domestic abuse do not report to the police, so we need to get the
:24:26. > :24:30.criminal justice bit right but we also need to respond to those who
:24:31. > :24:34.for whatever reason do not get involved in the criminal justice
:24:35. > :24:38.system. We know the number of prosecutions and convictions is
:24:39. > :24:45.going up which presumably you would applaud but much of this is still
:24:46. > :24:49.under recorded, why? There is a great stigma still associated with
:24:50. > :24:58.domestic abuse and for many people there is also either confusion about
:24:59. > :25:02.what support they might or might not get or sadly experience of not
:25:03. > :25:06.getting a very good response. We really need to make sure that this
:25:07. > :25:12.legislation leads to victims and children getting the right help at
:25:13. > :25:18.the right time in the right place. We know one area that these new laws
:25:19. > :25:21.may look at is the offence of controlling and coercive behaviour,
:25:22. > :25:29.psychological abuse. How important is it that is addressed? That is
:25:30. > :25:34.important but domestic abuse is almost always a combination of
:25:35. > :25:39.different forms of violence and abuse, physical violence, sexual
:25:40. > :25:42.abuse, psychological abuse is a massive part, but also financial
:25:43. > :25:47.abuse. We need to treat people as human beings and respond to the
:25:48. > :25:53.whole picture of what is going on for them and for their children, and
:25:54. > :26:00.we must have great services for victims and children, but currently
:26:01. > :26:06.one of the key problems is that only about 1% of perpetrators of domestic
:26:07. > :26:10.abuse are getting any kind of sanction or behaviour change problem
:26:11. > :26:16.and while 99% are returning home to their partner or are finding a new
:26:17. > :26:20.partner we are never going to end this problem. We are talking
:26:21. > :26:23.majority women but also a significant number of men. In terms
:26:24. > :26:28.of returning home to their partner to reason me says this is a subject
:26:29. > :26:32.close to half heart, but this government has overseen the closure
:26:33. > :26:41.of huge numbers of refugees for women and vulnerable individuals. Is
:26:42. > :26:45.that something she has to have a look at? The opportunity with our
:26:46. > :26:51.site is to look at the whole picture and over the last few years we have
:26:52. > :26:56.had a number of piecemeal bits of legislation and different
:26:57. > :27:05.initiatives and cuts, and we have to be sure that women and children have
:27:06. > :27:08.choices. A refuge is an essential provision for someone but the vast
:27:09. > :27:16.majority want to be able to live safe in their home. I hope we will
:27:17. > :27:22.be saying, why does she not leave -- driveable or not be saying why do
:27:23. > :27:24.she not leave. If it was happening to you or IB would hope we could
:27:25. > :27:30.stay safe in our home. You're watching
:27:31. > :27:32.Breakfast from BBC News. It's time now for a look
:27:33. > :27:40.at the newspapers. Jon Tonge, a Political Lecturer
:27:41. > :27:43.at the University of Liverpool is here to tell us what's
:27:44. > :27:50.caught their eye. Where are we kicking off? The
:27:51. > :28:00.fallout from the Tony Blair Brexit speech. It was heavily criticised
:28:01. > :28:10.from a whole range of areas. Not just the usual suspects. The picture
:28:11. > :28:15.of him wiping his finger. Yes, Tony Blair speaks from the Eurostar VIP
:28:16. > :28:20.lounge according to the guardian. The problem with this speech was not
:28:21. > :28:25.so much he was wrong to make it, the debate is not necessarily over, the
:28:26. > :28:30.1975 referendum did not necessarily solve the debate, but he was very
:28:31. > :28:35.imprecise over exactly what it was proposing. He talked about people
:28:36. > :28:41.rising up against this, but does he he want a second referendum because
:28:42. > :28:49.he did not like the first result, or on the terms of the deal, does he
:28:50. > :28:57.want the Labour Party to go against the result? It has muddied the
:28:58. > :29:00.messages for Labour in what is any super Thursday looming best week in
:29:01. > :29:11.terms of the stalk and Copeland by-elections. A lot of leave voters
:29:12. > :29:14.in both of those constituencies. It plays into the narrative that
:29:15. > :29:17.politicians know best what is good for you and you did not know what
:29:18. > :29:23.was going on and that is why you voted for Brexit. Yes. Tony Blair
:29:24. > :29:29.operating as if it was when he was at the height of his powers when he
:29:30. > :29:35.was enjoying huge electoral landslides, solving problems from
:29:36. > :29:37.Northern Ireland to Kosovo. He is operating under reduced
:29:38. > :29:42.circumstances, probably damaged goods since the Iraq war and his
:29:43. > :29:47.influence is not what it was. Having said that, he is still box office.
:29:48. > :29:55.The coverage shows he still matters. Where next? The bloodbath on the
:29:56. > :30:00.High Street. The Daily Mail, a Tory supporter, very critical of
:30:01. > :30:03.government policy on business rates. A business rates revaluation. The
:30:04. > :30:07.government would point out the majority of businesses will pay you
:30:08. > :30:12.less but a number they are going to the wall as a consequence of a
:30:13. > :30:16.revaluation which leads to a business rates rise. Traditional
:30:17. > :30:19.Conservative supporting papers like the Daily Mail and the Daily
:30:20. > :30:23.Telegraph are very critical of what has been proposed. The difficulty
:30:24. > :30:27.for the government is what to do about business rates. You could
:30:28. > :30:31.scrap them and have a new system based on business profits, which
:30:32. > :30:39.makes sense and may protect the High Street, but dangers in scrapping the
:30:40. > :30:44.system. Remember Margaret Thatcher and the poll tax? The Conservatives
:30:45. > :30:46.have to be careful if they go for scrapping business rates and it is
:30:47. > :30:56.not on their immediate agenda. Taxes come in all shapes and forms,
:30:57. > :31:01.don't they? Liverpool City Council say if you shop a dog owner whose
:31:02. > :31:06.pet dog fouls the pavement, you can have a year free of paying your
:31:07. > :31:10.council tax. This leads to all sorts of possibilities, how many people
:31:11. > :31:15.would shop their neighbours to win the prize, which is valuable. You
:31:16. > :31:18.pay more than ?1000 normally in council tax in Liverpool and how do
:31:19. > :31:23.you know that people were staged such an event, take the photograph,
:31:24. > :31:31.to try and claim a prize? Talk us through that one! How would it work?
:31:32. > :31:35.Get a friend to walk the dog, get them to file the pavement, and share
:31:36. > :31:42.the winnings! There could be problems with the administrations of
:31:43. > :31:45.this scheme... -- foul. You are so devious! But, it is an attractive
:31:46. > :31:50.idea in terms of raising headlines about the problem of dog mess. The
:31:51. > :31:53.council leader in Liverpool says that he is sick of Liverpool
:31:54. > :31:58.pavement smelling of dog mess. It is a problem. You will come back in one
:31:59. > :32:00.hour's time. And talk to us some more. We will see you there. Now,
:32:01. > :32:33.the headlines in just a moment. Hello, this is Breakfast with

:33:23. > :33:33.Erik Scott from the Los It was a very unique and dangerous
:33:34. > :33:40.incident which happened in an area we call Studio City. We had a car
:33:41. > :33:43.that was upside down in a large and dark sinkhole which was full of
:33:44. > :33:49.rushing water. What we had was a single occupant standing on top of
:33:50. > :33:53.the upside down car, about ten feet below the street. Fortunately,
:33:54. > :33:56.firefighters jumped into action and rapidly lowered a ten foot extension
:33:57. > :34:02.ladder down to the female and led her to climb out and transported her
:34:03. > :34:02.to a local hospital. She told firefighters afterwards that she

:35:04. > :35:06.of their evidence at the start of the process, which is really admin
:35:07. > :35:11.is to tip and burdensome. That is the start. Even if they win their
:35:12. > :35:15.repeal, they could have it dismissed because somehow it is within the

:36:35. > :36:36.of the national league, They take on Premier League Burnley,
:36:37. > :36:40.who are 81 places above them. Being underdogs hasn't hindered
:36:41. > :36:42.Lincoln so far though - they've already knocked out

:36:45. > :36:49.it's probably a one in 100 chance. We've only beaten them
:36:50. > :36:56.once in 100 games. But for us to come through the one
:36:57. > :37:00.we have been on and get to the fifth round as a non league team
:37:01. > :37:03.is probably one in 10,000 chances so Lincoln has already had a bit
:37:04. > :37:07.of the FA Cup magic and for anyone who thinks the FA Cup is dead
:37:08. > :37:10.has not been in Lincoln One of the big talking points this
:37:11. > :37:14.season has been whether top flight managers are taking the FA
:37:15. > :37:16.Cup seriously. Tomorrow Manchester United play
:37:17. > :37:22.Blackburn Rovers at Ewood park, and their manager Jose Mourinho says
:37:23. > :37:33.that foreign managers need to learn Maybe we do not have as many English
:37:34. > :37:41.managers as we should? Maybe we, foreign managers, not everybody
:37:42. > :37:49.studies and understands the culture of this country. The trial is to go
:37:50. > :37:51.serious. I like Wembley and the FA Cup, so I have to try and get to the

:41:28. > :41:28.he did a trek to the South Pole with Prince Harry, they changed their
:41:29. > :41:31.minds! We've heard about the FA Cup,
:41:32. > :41:35.well it's the last weekend to enter There are many different categories
:41:36. > :41:38.including walking football - a sport which has got tens
:41:39. > :41:41.of thousands of people active again, like Jan Milner, who's sporting
:41:42. > :41:43.ambitions was reawakened five years Well, not just Charlie,
:41:44. > :41:58.but when we ran a feature on the first walking football club
:41:59. > :42:00.at Bury, now there are has formed a team in Doncaster,
:42:01. > :42:10.of over 60-year-olds playing I was in a dark place, I was not
:42:11. > :42:14.good. I have many memories. But sometimes they are not enough, you
:42:15. > :42:18.know? And what has happened, we create new memories here. One of the
:42:19. > :42:26.that you do not doing walking football is wrong, I was booked
:42:27. > :42:31.there! You can see what happened when I joined Jan at half past nine.
:42:32. > :42:33.And you can go to the website to get involved. You have until tomorrow
:42:34. > :42:35.night. Thank you. Cooperative Bank customers have
:42:36. > :42:37.been told the company The bank has over four million
:42:38. > :42:41.customers including 1.4 million people with current accounts
:42:42. > :42:43.and 225,000 people with mortgages. The bank had nearly 300
:42:44. > :42:46.UK branches in 2013, but now there are just
:42:47. > :42:47.over 100 left. It reported a loss of more
:42:48. > :42:51.than ?600m for 2015 and it's already said it expects to have made
:42:52. > :43:12.a significant loss in 2016 as well. Paul Lewis from Money Boxes with us
:43:13. > :43:18.now. Firstly, anyone who has an account or mortgage, what is their
:43:19. > :43:23.situation? Well, the situation is as it was one week ago. I think, if I
:43:24. > :43:25.was one of them, I am not, but if I was I would hold tight and see what
:43:26. > :43:31.happens. The bank is for sale anything bad will happen in the
:43:32. > :43:36.immediate future, but it could be sold as a horse in bits. Your
:43:37. > :43:39.account and your mortgage would move to another bank. But, that would not
:43:40. > :43:56.in itself be a disaster. Even if the worst possible thing
:43:57. > :43:59.happened, there is no suggestion of this, the bank, or indeed any bank,
:44:00. > :44:01.did go out of business completely, then your savings are protected up
:44:02. > :44:04.to ?85,000, and I'm told almost no one has that much in the
:44:05. > :44:06.co-operative bank. And your mortgage and current account would be moved
:44:07. > :44:09.somewhere else. There is no need for customers to panic that has you
:44:10. > :44:14.hinted, it is still in a bit of a mess. Yes, a bank in a mess, who
:44:15. > :44:17.would want to buy it? We do not know, people I've been speaking to
:44:18. > :44:24.have said it probably would not be bought as a
:44:25. > :44:31.-- bought as a whole. But Cooperative Bank may be able to
:44:32. > :44:35.carry on. It's been able to do so because the regulator, the Bank of
:44:36. > :44:39.England, has said it can take five years to sort itself out. That would
:44:40. > :44:44.take us up to 2018, and as you said, it is expected to make another loss,
:44:45. > :44:48.the fifth consecutive year that it has lost money. The Bank of England
:44:49. > :44:53.could well say, have a bit longer to sort yourself out. It may not even
:44:54. > :44:58.be sold. As I said, if it is? Customers will still have their
:44:59. > :45:02.accounts and savings are protected, and their mortgages. The there. It
:45:03. > :45:09.is a worrying time, of course the key thing is their ethical policy --
:45:10. > :45:14.their mortgages will still be there. If it is sold, that could go and if
:45:15. > :45:19.it is broken up, that could go. Yes, did that make them unique in the
:45:20. > :45:25.marketplace? If people were attracted to them for that reason,
:45:26. > :45:29.are there other banks with a similar ethos? Not really, a lot of their
:45:30. > :45:35.customers are there because of it, surveys have shown that. It will not
:45:36. > :45:39.let anyone involved in the arms trade or genetic testing or what it
:45:40. > :45:42.calls sweatshop labour have an account with the bank and will not
:45:43. > :45:47.invest money in those kinds of organisations. So, it is pretty
:45:48. > :45:51.unique, well, completely unique, in terms of the high street bank. I
:45:52. > :45:55.think that people would find it difficult to find an alternative for
:45:56. > :46:00.day-to-day banking, if Cooperative Bank disappeared. That is why the
:46:01. > :46:03.bank tells me it is so central to their success and millions of
:46:04. > :46:07.customers that it does have, that any future buyer would be foolish to
:46:08. > :46:11.get rid of it. Of course, a future buyer who owned the whole thing
:46:12. > :46:15.could get rid of it if they wanted, it depends what the motivation for
:46:16. > :46:23.buying it is. We will leave it there for now, thank you. More on that
:46:24. > :46:26.story on Money Box on radio for later today.
:46:27. > :46:29.Here's Darren with a look at this morning's weather.
:46:30. > :46:35.It's quite one? It is not the kind of weather for jumping out of bed
:46:36. > :46:37.and heading outside quickly this morning.
:46:38. > :46:42.We have if you weather watcher pictures to begin with. It
:46:43. > :46:47.highlights this grey and misty start. This was taken in East
:46:48. > :46:51.Sussex, affecting the southern half of the UK primarily, most of England
:46:52. > :46:55.and Wales, Cambridgeshire and a hint of something brighter to come. A lot
:46:56. > :47:00.of club to come, some missed until fall, but it should brighten in the
:47:01. > :47:05.south of the UK. Further north, a stronger wind. Not as misty or
:47:06. > :47:10.foggy, rain about, moving slowly southwards. By the afternoon, it
:47:11. > :47:21.will be much brighter across England and Wales, some sunshine coming
:47:22. > :47:23.through, mild, about 13 degrees is possible, north-west England is
:47:24. > :47:27.going to Sebring and Tristan at times, especially late in the
:47:28. > :47:31.afternoon, that in eastern Scotland, there is another dose of ring --
:47:32. > :47:40.going to see some rain at times. It's the FA Cup fifth round later.
:47:41. > :47:44.It will be pretty mild, temperatures on the high side for this time of
:47:45. > :47:49.year. Some rain comes into northern England and Northern Wales during
:47:50. > :47:53.the evening. It peters out, wet and windy weather comes back into
:47:54. > :47:57.western Scotland and breaks for eastern Scotland. On the whole,
:47:58. > :48:03.cloudy skies with temperatures at about six or 7 degrees. But a
:48:04. > :48:10.particular cold start, it is their westerly breeze, bringing in moist
:48:11. > :48:14.air. A lot of cloud, the best chance of sunshine is eastern areas,
:48:15. > :48:21.eastern Scotland and some parts of Wales. 11 or 12 degrees today, rain
:48:22. > :48:26.nudges into the far north-west later today. Where is the air coming from?
:48:27. > :48:30.It comes all the way from the Caribbean. We won't get the
:48:31. > :48:33.Caribbean sunshine, but we will get some milder air. It will be trapped
:48:34. > :48:41.between these weather fronts on Monday. Bumpy over the east of high
:48:42. > :48:46.ground, some cloud about, but if we have sunshine in eastern areas, we
:48:47. > :48:47.could get temperatures in the mid teens but only briefly. Back to you
:48:48. > :48:52.two. Thank you. You have to do something
:48:53. > :48:57.with the weather but I've noticed the numbers are coming down, you
:48:58. > :49:04.were promising 15 an hour ago! It was 17, but there is some
:49:05. > :49:08.uncertainty as to how warm it will be at the sunshine, it could be that
:49:09. > :49:13.we are cloudy but it is muggy air, warmer air for this time of year.
:49:14. > :49:16.Maximum temperatures of eight or 9 degrees commit you cannot complain
:49:17. > :49:22.really! And I thought you promised away your shorts -- I thought you
:49:23. > :49:26.promised to wear your shorts! I've got changed now!
:49:27. > :49:27.Scunthorpe is a place known for its steel,
:49:28. > :49:30.but from today it will get to experience a gold rush.
:49:31. > :49:32.Shiny - and valuable - objects are being hidden around
:49:33. > :49:35.the town today for the public to find and keep.
:49:36. > :49:38.It's all part of an art project - with clues hidden in paintings
:49:39. > :49:41.Our Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson went
:49:42. > :50:02.Scunthorpe. Not the most obvious place for a gold rush, but today,
:50:03. > :50:06.these five objects, each worth at least ?2500, will be hidden around
:50:07. > :50:12.the town and it is finders keepers! It sounds great but I don't think
:50:13. > :50:21.I'll be taking part... Why not? No, no... ?2500? Some kids can find
:50:22. > :50:29.them. How good are went hunting for things? Very good! What would you it
:50:30. > :50:34.on? On quite a fancy date! This is the idea of this artist. I liked the
:50:35. > :50:39.idea of participation and providing people with a new way of thinking,
:50:40. > :50:44.and this artwork, with all of these layers, have content and stories to
:50:45. > :50:49.tell, and should inspire the public. Luke Jerram enlisted a code maker
:50:50. > :50:53.from GCHQ to create five puzzles, which have been turned into
:50:54. > :50:57.paintings. Each answer will reveal the location of an object. We are
:50:58. > :51:02.not allowed to haul you -- show you the whole of any of the paintings in
:51:03. > :51:07.focus, in case treasure hunters work out the code in advance. At 10am
:51:08. > :51:11.this morning, anyone who would like ago will be allowed into the 2021
:51:12. > :51:18.Visual Arts Centre to try and break the codes. We've had interest from
:51:19. > :51:21.people on Twitter from miles away, and apparently there are treasure
:51:22. > :51:26.hunters from across the world who fly in to solve puzzles like this.
:51:27. > :51:29.This is footage of one of the objects being hidden, we are told
:51:30. > :51:39.none of them have been buried in case treasure hunters begin to
:51:40. > :51:44.demolish local parks. The 518 carat models are models of artefacts from
:51:45. > :51:48.the towns museum. This is 200 million years old... Really? I like
:51:49. > :51:52.the idea of objects that have been found in the area, coming to the
:51:53. > :51:57.museum, copied and hidden for people to find. So there are new versions
:51:58. > :52:02.for people to look for. Part of it makes me think of monopoly! It is
:52:03. > :52:05.like the worlds poshest Monopoly set! Organisers expect at least one
:52:06. > :52:10.treasure to be found today, but believe hardest puzzle could take
:52:11. > :52:13.years to solve. Scunthorpe, once known for steel, now it is all about
:52:14. > :52:23.gold! Colin Paterson, BBC News. They are pretty little things, and
:52:24. > :52:27.valuable! And that line from Colin, the world's poshest Monopoly set! If
:52:28. > :52:30.I found them, I would not play Monopoly!
:52:31. > :52:35.If you want to join in the treasure hunt, the five paintings featuring
:52:36. > :52:37.clues will be displayed at Scunthorpe's 2021
:52:38. > :52:40.Visual Arts Centre from today until the 29th of April.
:52:41. > :52:41.Scottish singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald is no
:52:42. > :52:44.stranger to chart success - aged just 29 she's already released
:52:45. > :52:49.four albums and sold millions of records worldwide.
:52:50. > :52:53.But the This Is The Life singer says despite all that she doesn't
:52:54. > :52:56.consider herself a celebrity and loves the fact that she is still
:52:57. > :53:03.able to walk down the street without being recognised.
:53:04. > :53:09.Do you really not get recognised anywhere? Yeah, it is brilliant,
:53:10. > :53:13.even countries where I've had a lot of success and a lot of support, I
:53:14. > :53:22.can still go shopping and nobody even twigs! Presumably, if you are
:53:23. > :53:25.in a city doing a day, there must be times people recognise you? Not
:53:26. > :53:29.really, once in the Netherlands I was performing at a big festival,
:53:30. > :53:33.and was meant to be picked up at the Hotel and I got a bit lost and found
:53:34. > :53:35.myself wandering amongst the crowd and not one person even looked
:53:36. > :53:50.twice! Going to your own gay? Yes! -- going to your own gig? Yes, I was
:53:51. > :53:54.among the crowd and nobody noticed! Let's have a look at the song that
:53:55. > :53:58.made you famous... # The people they were dancing
:53:59. > :54:03.# To the music vibe # And the boys kiss the girls with
:54:04. > :54:08.the Coles and their hair # And the songs they get louder each
:54:09. > :54:13.one better than before # And you are singing the songs
:54:14. > :54:20.thinking this is the life # Where you going to sleep tonight?
:54:21. > :54:24.# And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
:54:25. > :54:33.# And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
:54:34. > :54:37.# Where you going to sleep tonight? You were very honestly reflecting on
:54:38. > :54:42.how different you looked then to now? Yes, a chubby teenager! I did
:54:43. > :54:47.not say that! That's one of the problems with your business, you
:54:48. > :54:51.grow up, albeit you do not like the celebrity thing, there is evidence
:54:52. > :54:55.of that? Yes, evidence of terrible outfits and dodgy haircuts that you
:54:56. > :55:00.can never escape! We have dragged up pictures from ten years ago! Awful!
:55:01. > :55:06.Health and fitness is a big part of your life now, isn't it? When I got
:55:07. > :55:11.into touring, I began to make sure that I kept myself fit and healthy.
:55:12. > :55:14.I realised it has made a massive difference to my voice and I feel
:55:15. > :55:22.like I can sing a bit more. It is so physically draining. After these
:55:23. > :55:25.massive tours as well? Yes, crazy, after months on end, on stage
:55:26. > :55:31.belting it out, and with my new album, it is the same. I've written
:55:32. > :55:34.an album full of big songs which require a lot of energy to perform,
:55:35. > :55:46.I do not know why not written a really slow one yet! Be single from
:55:47. > :55:49.the album is called Dream On. # I'm on top of the world and I'm on
:55:50. > :55:56.the right track # I'm on top of the world and I
:55:57. > :56:00.won't look back # I'm on top of the world
:56:01. > :56:10.and I won't look back # The time is now, I'm on top of the
:56:11. > :56:23.world and I'm on the right track # I'm on the top of the world and I
:56:24. > :56:27.won't look back. Talk about weight loss, that's quite extreme! I was on
:56:28. > :56:32.a diet for weeks! What is the thinking behind the tiny thing, it
:56:33. > :56:37.looks fantastic! It was something a bit different, I find when you try
:56:38. > :56:43.to come up with ideas for videos, you get sent a lot of scripts, and a
:56:44. > :56:46.lot of the time they are the same. Nothing is that different all the
:56:47. > :56:50.same, but that stuck out, and I thought it sounded cool. I did the
:56:51. > :56:53.whole green screen thing and I felt like I was a character in Lord of
:56:54. > :56:58.the rings or something! Pretending I was climbing up and downstairs. It
:56:59. > :57:02.was nice to do something different to what I've done before. You are a
:57:03. > :57:07.solo artist, and you've always written your own songs but you say
:57:08. > :57:12.this is more of a collaborative process? Yes, with the album, I
:57:13. > :57:16.wrote a view of the songs with my bandmates, and it was a natural
:57:17. > :57:21.progression. With my bass player, Jimmy, news been with me from day
:57:22. > :57:25.one. I've known him 11 years. -- he has been with me from day one. You
:57:26. > :57:30.begin to jam and come up with things during a sound check. Jimmy and I
:57:31. > :57:36.have written about 100 songs but they are all joke songs. The classic
:57:37. > :57:42.one that we sing all the time, "I'm eating my feelings!" I don't think
:57:43. > :57:48.it will get onto the album... Now you said it, everyone will want to
:57:49. > :57:53.hear it! We decided to sit down and try to write something properly. It
:57:54. > :57:57.was really difficult at first. It is strange putting your ideas out
:57:58. > :58:01.there. But when we got into the swing of things, it clicked. I wrote
:58:02. > :58:05.a good few songs and was pleased with the outcome. Anybody who knows
:58:06. > :58:10.you know is that you do a very brilliant Bruce Springsteen cover in
:58:11. > :58:13.your own style. And you got to meet him as well? Was it one of those
:58:14. > :58:18.moments where you pinch yourself and go, life is pretty good! It was a
:58:19. > :58:25.crazy moment, I did not expect to see him. I was performing in Hyde
:58:26. > :58:29.Park in London, he was a headliner. I went back to my dressing room and
:58:30. > :58:34.from quite far-away I've thought, that looks like Bruce Springsteen...
:58:35. > :58:38.But he's on his own, there is nobody with him, no entourage or security.
:58:39. > :58:45.Then, I realised it was him and said hello, and he was happy to chat
:58:46. > :58:51.away. I mentioned Bob who has mixed a few of my albums, he worked
:58:52. > :58:56.closely with Bruce Springsteen, as soon as I mentioned his name, it was
:58:57. > :59:03.like a magic password and I was in the circle! And we stood and chatted
:59:04. > :59:07.and he was lovely. Really, really an amazing man and an incredible
:59:08. > :59:11.performer. Will you be doing live stuff in the UK? Yes, I'm on tour, I
:59:12. > :59:14.start the tour in Europe at the beginning of March which takes me
:59:15. > :59:19.right through until April when I will be back in the UK, performing
:59:20. > :59:25.at the Royal Albert Hall in and on. Which is the one I'm really excited
:59:26. > :59:29.to do -- in London. And you are getting married this year? Not this
:59:30. > :59:33.year, I don't have time! When it happens, it will be a last minute...
:59:34. > :59:38.A quick one! And we are loving your shoes! Can we see? They are
:59:39. > :59:41.fantastic. Wherever I go, people talk about my shoes, it has become
:59:42. > :59:44.my thing! Thank you so much for coming in.
:59:45. > :59:47.Amy MacDonald joins us in the studio now.
:59:48. > :59:54.Choosing how much to tip on holiday can be tricky,
:59:55. > :59:56.although it should always be your choice.
:59:57. > :59:59.But later we'll be hearing how service charges on some cruise lines
:00:00. > :00:28.aren't as optional as they seem. stay with us - headlines are next.

:03:26. > :03:36.the government needs to look at the whole of this area and look at a
:03:37. > :03:39.whole range. Survivors of domestic abuse, how different police forces
:03:40. > :03:43.in different parts of England and Wales approach it and what laws

:03:59. > :04:07.scale of some of the challenges were set out by a campaigner for a
:04:08. > :04:10.domestic abuse charity. We must have great services for victims and
:04:11. > :04:15.children but currently one of the key problems is that only about 1%

:05:12. > :05:13.Erik Scott from the Los Yes, sir, it's been a very busy day
:05:14. > :05:17.for Los Angeles firefighters. We've certainly seen a sharp
:05:18. > :05:20.increase in our emergency calls. This is largely due
:05:21. > :05:23.to the deluge of rain we've had. We've had sinkholes,
:05:24. > :05:25.swallowed up cars, people trapped where we had to perform
:05:26. > :05:29.swift water rescues, vehicles were overcome
:05:30. > :05:32.on the streets. In one incident in particular 15
:05:33. > :05:37.people were stranded. We've had 150 down power lines over
:05:38. > :05:42.three to four hours. Some of which had
:05:43. > :05:45.deadly consequences. And very large trees
:05:46. > :05:47.which have been falling, This is a sequence of events caught
:05:48. > :05:56.on a live camera of a car slipping You mentioned that's been
:05:57. > :06:03.happening several times. That was a very unique and dangerous
:06:04. > :06:09.incident that happened in an area When firefighters arrived on scene
:06:10. > :06:14.we had a car that was upside down in a large dark sinkhole
:06:15. > :06:18.that was full of rushing water and we had a single occupant
:06:19. > :06:22.standing on top of that upside down Fortunately the firefighters
:06:23. > :06:27.jumped into action. They rapidly lowered a 20 foot

:07:10. > :07:11.to focus on his promise to boost manufacturing jobs,
:07:12. > :07:13.but later resumed his criticism of the media, branding the industry
:07:14. > :07:16.as an "enemy of the American The President of the United States
:07:17. > :07:20.may have been in office for less than a month
:07:21. > :07:23.but it is clear this is a part of the job he enjoys,
:07:24. > :07:25.addressing an audience We love America and we are
:07:26. > :07:28.going to protect America. We love our workers and we are going
:07:29. > :07:31.to protect our workers. At a tour of Boeing
:07:32. > :07:33.in South Carolina, he reiterated one of his
:07:34. > :07:35.biggest campaign promises. Next stop, Florida, a place that
:07:36. > :07:39.supported him when he needed it most, for an event that some say
:07:40. > :07:43.is part of a strategy that will last It is unusual for a president
:07:44. > :07:53.to hold a rally like this so soon after
:07:54. > :07:57.inauguration but much of what Donald Trump has done so far
:07:58. > :07:59.has been unconventional, including a worsening relationship
:08:00. > :08:01.with the mainstream media. I'm not ranting and raving,
:08:02. > :08:03.I'm just telling you. Last night, Donald Trump
:08:04. > :08:08.expressed his displeasure in his favourite way
:08:09. > :08:10.with another critical tweet. Even journalists from organisations
:08:11. > :08:13.that have been on his side are not happy with
:08:14. > :08:15.this turn of events, particularly when it
:08:16. > :08:18.comes to Russia. Your opposition was hacked
:08:19. > :08:21.and the Russians were responsible for it
:08:22. > :08:22.and your people were on the phone with
:08:23. > :08:25.Russia on the same day it was happening,

:09:49. > :09:54.take the city's east. They've been rested and re-equipped,

:09:57. > :10:07.a different battle. This mortar team is going

:11:29. > :11:32.about some of the attacks that have been planned

:12:42. > :12:52.week in US politics, President Trump is heading back
:12:53. > :12:54.to familiar territory as he prepares It is being billed as a "campaign
:12:55. > :12:58.event" just 29 days Jan Halper-Hayes, who is a member
:12:59. > :13:05.of President Trump's transition team, joins us now
:13:06. > :13:15.from our London newsroom. Concentrating on recent events, the
:13:16. > :13:22.event Mr Trump held at the Boeing factory. This was safe territory, he
:13:23. > :13:25.was talking about jobs, this was one of his issues during the election
:13:26. > :13:32.campaign, America first, American jobs. Yes. Tell us more about that
:13:33. > :13:39.message and hope even that is to what he is trying to achieve. The
:13:40. > :13:42.thing is that during the Obama administration they find out that
:13:43. > :13:47.even though I were employment numbers went down what was created
:13:48. > :13:51.was the contract workforce because of bat here so people were having to
:13:52. > :13:53.have to back off the contract workforce because of bat here so
:13:54. > :14:01.people were having to have to magazine that jobs -- having to have
:14:02. > :14:08.two or three jobs. There is going to be a heavy tax ringing back in and
:14:09. > :14:13.that has made several companies, forward, and others, decide that
:14:14. > :14:20.they are going to build the plants and create the jobs in the United
:14:21. > :14:23.States. He chose Boeing as the location but looking back, people
:14:24. > :14:27.like clear messages, that is one of the reasons he won the election, but
:14:28. > :14:35.if you look back during the campaign trail he said... Boeing is building
:14:36. > :14:39.a brand-new 747 year force jet, he said the costs were out of control
:14:40. > :14:43.and he said cancel the Boeing order and he said this plane is totally
:14:44. > :14:49.out of control and Boeing is doing a number. Did you know that Boeing
:14:50. > :14:56.came back with a $600,000 reduction on it? That is one of the reasons he
:14:57. > :15:02.went to Boeing. Because he threatened and they responded? Yes.
:15:03. > :15:06.We can see he threatened, he basically expressed an opinion which
:15:07. > :15:17.many of us taxpayers, because it is our money, feel. It is $500 screws,
:15:18. > :15:21.$1500 toilet seats. The defence department, what they spend, is
:15:22. > :15:28.absolutely ridiculous. It was great that that happened. The rally he is
:15:29. > :15:34.attending later today in Florida, why is he holding an election rally
:15:35. > :15:40.29 days after being inaugurated? I am not sure that... I know the
:15:41. > :15:44.campaign staff is doing it so that is why they are calling it a
:15:45. > :15:49.campaign event because they have to distinguish legally between who
:15:50. > :15:53.arranges these things. I think it is because he has decided that he is
:15:54. > :15:58.fed up with what he calls the fake news or the ferry fake news and he
:15:59. > :16:05.wants to take his message back to the people and I think he is right.
:16:06. > :16:09.The fake news thing is absolutely compelling and the media has been
:16:10. > :16:15.dragged into this row which is ongoing. The fake news then, help me
:16:16. > :16:22.with some of the problem speed will have with this, because in his press
:16:23. > :16:28.conference two days ago he was claiming specifically that his
:16:29. > :16:33.victory was the biggest win since Ronald Reagan, which was factually
:16:34. > :16:40.incorrect. When challenged, his answer was, I was just given that
:16:41. > :16:45.information, I don't know. Yes. Everyone has seized upon that. He
:16:46. > :16:49.does tend, and perhaps he needs to think about this, to be flippant
:16:50. > :16:57.about those things. Everything is huge, everything is great. Let's try
:16:58. > :17:07.to understand this fake news. The story with Flynn is that he did not
:17:08. > :17:10.tell Vice President all of the information in his conversations
:17:11. > :17:17.with the Russians. Then when asked he said, well, I can't quite
:17:18. > :17:23.remember everything we talked about. It was a violation of trust. That
:17:24. > :17:27.was the reason that they asked for his resignation. It has come out
:17:28. > :17:34.from coming the FBI they have found that he has done nothing wrong. It
:17:35. > :17:39.was all so that the intelligence services really wanted to go after
:17:40. > :17:43.Flynn. Instead of making it all about Russia it would have been
:17:44. > :17:52.really good to be able to talk about what was going on behind the scenes
:17:53. > :17:55.and why Flynn had decided not to tell the truth, but also how he was
:17:56. > :18:00.running his own intelligence operation out of the White House and
:18:01. > :18:05.the intelligence services felt threatened by it. That is far more
:18:06. > :18:12.interesting. One of the things people draw attention to is that
:18:13. > :18:17.when there is a question asked of Mr Trump, for example the question
:18:18. > :18:22.about what he knew when, which is a perfectly legitimate question, the
:18:23. > :18:25.press would routinely ask that of a political leader, the response is
:18:26. > :18:31.always an aggressive response along the lines of, this is part of what
:18:32. > :18:35.the media is trying to do, instead of literally just answering simple
:18:36. > :18:39.questions in terms of timelines. That ends up with this war of words
:18:40. > :18:46.when no one is answering any questions. Let me speak personally
:18:47. > :18:51.because from your perspective or the media perspective, I do not mean to
:18:52. > :18:57.single you out, in your mind you are asking a question, I can tell you
:18:58. > :19:01.that I have got to the point where I have said, especially on radio, if
:19:02. > :19:09.you are just going to stay negative like this I am going to hang up. I
:19:10. > :19:14.have walked out of a TV studio because the negativity that we get
:19:15. > :19:21.bombarded with really grates on as. It is too much. There is not a
:19:22. > :19:25.balance of positive things. He has accomplished more in the first four
:19:26. > :19:31.weeks than most presidents have at least in my lifetime. Some people
:19:32. > :19:36.watching maybe have sympathy with what you're saying and maybe not.
:19:37. > :19:45.Some things do not matter much. If he has a spat with an individual you
:19:46. > :19:49.can see it doesn't matter but consistency matters, world affairs.
:19:50. > :19:54.Over Nato, during the campaign trail, Trump said he would not feel
:19:55. > :19:59.bound by the article, which says an attack on one is an attack on all.
:20:00. > :20:07.He said he would not feel bound by that. In amongst a lot of other
:20:08. > :20:12.things about needle. Today we have Mike pence saying US strongly
:20:13. > :20:17.supports Nato, the US will be unwavering in its support from other
:20:18. > :20:21.members of Nato. Are you going to accuse me of being negative for
:20:22. > :20:24.drawing attention to something which appears to be completely at all that
:20:25. > :20:31.was what he said during the campaign trail? No. I understand how you
:20:32. > :20:37.would make that conclusion. People from the very beginning have taken
:20:38. > :20:41.him literally or have taken him what he says isolated instead of
:20:42. > :20:46.seriously connecting things. You would have also read that it was
:20:47. > :20:53.made clear at the Nato meeting that if people do not pay their fair
:20:54. > :20:58.share the US is not going to support Nato in the same way any more. That
:20:59. > :21:06.was his biggest thing, he felt it was obsolete, and Donald Rumsfeld
:21:07. > :21:12.had said that during the Bush era. There are 27 nations that do not
:21:13. > :21:16.contribute anything. Britain, the US, Germany, are carrying the whole
:21:17. > :21:19.thing. That is what he is fed up with because it goes with his
:21:20. > :21:25.America first. There is something else about him as a leader that
:21:26. > :21:32.follows. He has picked people who do not agree with him. People might
:21:33. > :21:36.find that very confusing, how could madness, when he is confirmed and
:21:37. > :21:44.has been picked by Donald Trump, say our commitment to needle is
:21:45. > :21:51.unshakeable? He does not want yes men or women, people who totally
:21:52. > :21:59.agree with him. My final thought, it is opinion from you, people hearing
:22:00. > :22:06.about these rosy having with the media, a lot of will think it sounds
:22:07. > :22:09.insular, an elitist argument, the president arguing with the big
:22:10. > :22:16.networks, or carers? Do you think Trump is able to step away from us?
:22:17. > :22:21.This morning, his latest tweet is that the media are the enemy of the
:22:22. > :22:26.American people. Are we going to get to a point, it is on the 29 days
:22:27. > :22:33.then, when we can move on? Him as well as the media he is accusing of
:22:34. > :22:40.this. He has an enormous amount of support for what he is doing and a
:22:41. > :22:50.lot of people agree with him. The media in the US is extremely liberal
:22:51. > :22:53.and yes Hillary Clinton won the so-called popular vote but if you
:22:54. > :23:00.think about how things are spread out we have 3141... Sorry, that was
:23:01. > :23:07.not the question. You're talking about the election again. Can we
:23:08. > :23:12.move on? His dealings, what gets talked about. I can try to make my
:23:13. > :23:20.point better. You want to move on from it. His supporters agree with
:23:21. > :23:23.the points he is making. I do not think he is necessarily going to

:24:07. > :24:14.You had never heard of it. This is a new term. We have gone

:24:38. > :24:40.the last 24 hours or so has brought three or four inches of rain across

:27:19. > :27:20.It's time now for a look at the newspapers.
:27:21. > :27:22.Jon Tonge, a Political Lecturer at the University of Liverpool
:27:23. > :27:25.is here to tell us what's caught their eye.
:27:26. > :27:34.We were talking about politics moment ago and interest in Trump and
:27:35. > :27:37.Brexit, your university has a huge increase in applications to study
:27:38. > :27:43.politics. Politics departments around the country are reporting a
:27:44. > :27:47.huge increase in applications, which is the silver lining, students want
:27:48. > :27:53.to know more about what is happening. Politics departments have
:27:54. > :27:57.never been busier. Great for businesses. You want to talk about
:27:58. > :28:02.house prices. The story in the Times says that sellers are struggling to
:28:03. > :28:07.shift their houses, taking up to a year in some parts of the country to
:28:08. > :28:11.get rid of houses. 15 years ago we had the highest level of home
:28:12. > :28:16.ownership anywhere in Europe. We are below the European average. House
:28:17. > :28:20.ownership is going out of fashion, people cannot sell houses and we
:28:21. > :28:25.have people returning to negative equity where your mortgage is worth
:28:26. > :28:29.more than your house as people discount their houses to try to get
:28:30. > :28:34.rid of them. How governments can address it is open to question. This
:28:35. > :28:38.varies depending where you are in the country. People thought it was a
:28:39. > :28:43.London problem because there was stamp duty on expensive properties
:28:44. > :28:47.concentrated in London but reports suggest that house sellers are
:28:48. > :28:50.discounting by 20% across the country so it is no longer
:28:51. > :28:56.London-based because people cannot afford to get on the housing market.
:28:57. > :29:03.Homeownership is barely above 50%. We soon might get to the position
:29:04. > :29:07.where it is a minority position. This does not personally affect you,
:29:08. > :29:22.but you still take an interest in the FA Cup. It has been in decline
:29:23. > :29:26.since 1903 since Bury last won it! It is good to see Jose Mourinho
:29:27. > :29:31.saying that we should show the competition respect, it is the
:29:32. > :29:37.oldest competition. There are things you could do to improve it, I would
:29:38. > :29:41.like to see a Champions League place for the winner, although that is not
:29:42. > :29:47.going to happen. People would field stronger teams. You could scrap
:29:48. > :29:51.replays and semi-finals at Wembley. Something needs to be done because
:29:52. > :29:56.we are at risk of losing what was or was precious. The average fan still
:29:57. > :30:01.loves it. Big clubs, huge academies, holding players who do not get a run
:30:02. > :30:05.out, one of the criticisms about the development of the English game is
:30:06. > :30:11.young players do not get the chance. At least in the FA Cup they are
:30:12. > :30:14.getting games. You can argue you can bring youngsters into the Premier
:30:15. > :30:19.League and play them there, there is nothing to stop you doing that, you
:30:20. > :30:25.do not have to have 11 changes from the previous week, it devalues the
:30:26. > :30:27.competition. Nobody is saying it will go back to its former glory but
:30:28. > :30:37.it is time for action. There will be a change in the ?1
:30:38. > :30:41.coin? Yes, we will have a 12 sided Pound coin from the 28th of March,
:30:42. > :30:48.you only have until October to raid your piggy banks to get rid of your
:30:49. > :30:52.pound coins, because after that they will be different currency. Act
:30:53. > :30:59.quickly! Royal Mint say they are bringing it in because nearly 3% of
:31:00. > :31:07.current ?1 coins are fake, this new pound coin will be the most secure
:31:08. > :31:13.currency in the world. Thank you. That's us done, thank you, good to

:33:46. > :33:53.We must have great services for victims and children, but currently,
:33:54. > :34:01.one of the key problems is only about 1% of perpetrators of domestic
:34:02. > :34:05.abuse are getting any kind of sanction or behaviour change
:34:06. > :34:08.problem, and 99% are returning home to their partners or finding a new

:36:48. > :36:49.teams are resting players like Leeds, they got a lot of stick for
:36:50. > :36:52.resting their players. Not since QPR in 1914,

:37:38. > :37:40.is probably one in 10,000 chances so Lincoln has already had a bit

:42:09. > :42:11.walking football! Five years ago on BBC Breakfast,
:42:12. > :42:13.we featured the beginnings of Walking football,
:42:14. > :42:15.when the idea was trialled Now there are nearly 1,000 places

:42:23. > :42:25.her team take a giant step towards Wembley,
:42:26. > :42:30.this month, in the FA People's Cup. There was a time when all Jan Milner
:42:31. > :42:33.had left were her dreams, memories of playing football,
:42:34. > :42:37.three decades ago. DREAM COMMENTATOR: What a save
:42:38. > :42:39.from the goal keeper, But injuries took her
:42:40. > :42:45.sporting opportunities away and led to her being lonely,
:42:46. > :42:47.isolated and eventually depressed, until the moment five years ago
:42:48. > :42:50.she switched on the TV one morning. Teams might consider
:42:51. > :42:52.trying walking football. (ECHOING) walking football,
:42:53. > :42:55.walking football... And her footballing
:42:56. > :43:06.ambitions were rekindled. I saw it on telly and it
:43:07. > :43:09.were like a light bolt moment. And I thought, you know what,
:43:10. > :43:14.I want some of this because, So Jan formed her own team
:43:15. > :43:18.of over-60s, to play in a version of football that does not
:43:19. > :43:21.put as much pressure on senior joints and heart
:43:22. > :43:23.that the full-speed game does. They've made me look
:43:24. > :43:31.at me because a while ago I were in a dark
:43:32. > :43:33.place, I wasn't good. I have many, many
:43:34. > :43:35.memories but sometimes And sometimes what's happened,
:43:36. > :43:38.we are creating new memories here. I scored a goal today and I will be
:43:39. > :43:45.laughing for that forever. I joined Jan's team
:43:46. > :43:47.in training and was amazed by the speed and accuracy
:43:48. > :43:54.of the passing through feet. All footballers could learn
:43:55. > :43:56.something from this. You have not got the option
:43:57. > :43:59.of running past your opponent. It does open your
:44:00. > :44:11.eyes that it is not sedentary and as slow
:44:12. > :44:13.as you would like to think. This gives them the alternative
:44:14. > :44:16.to still be able to kick a ball about and get the feel
:44:17. > :44:19.for the ball but at slower pace When I first featured this

:44:47. > :44:50.I had a broken ankle, OI had a new ankle,

:46:01. > :46:08.faces a tough challenge to maintain the seat. It's a coastal
:46:09. > :46:11.constituency which is home to the Sellafield nuclear plant and a

:46:26. > :46:31.challenge of living here. And, for the last 70 years, it has been home

:48:44. > :48:51.Because of what's been going on, the health service.

:50:11. > :50:15.last look this morning at the weather. Darren has all of the
:50:16. > :50:19.details. It is mild? 15 degrees, 16 degrees?
:50:20. > :50:24.Yes, potentially, over the next day or two, but you often find a lot of
:50:25. > :50:28.cloud at this time of year. I found some blue skies and a little
:50:29. > :50:36.sunshine. This was a picture from a Weather Watcher a little while ago.
:50:37. > :50:41.From Yorkshire. More low cloud and misty conditions in the south, this
:50:42. > :50:46.is East Sussex. So improvements in England and Wales, some sunshine but
:50:47. > :50:51.an area of rain slipping slowly southwards over the Irish Sea. Wet
:50:52. > :50:55.and windy weather pushing in the North West of Scotland. Eastern
:50:56. > :50:59.Scotland is likely to be much drier and brighter, and it could be 13
:51:00. > :51:03.degrees in Aberdeenshire. We should get an improvement in the weather in
:51:04. > :51:06.Northern Ireland, as sunshine and rain trickles to the far north of
:51:07. > :51:10.England and into North Wales. Away from here, much more dry with a bit
:51:11. > :51:15.of drizzle around and low cloud. It should brighten with sunshine
:51:16. > :51:20.pushing through with temperatures at 11 or 12 degrees. A lot of cloud
:51:21. > :51:24.right through the day, the FA Cup fifth round of calls. Something
:51:25. > :51:30.brighter. It will be mild, more low cloud for the game at Burnley. In
:51:31. > :51:34.the evening, rain and drizzle in North England and North Wales, going
:51:35. > :51:39.southwards, that will peter out. We will have wet and windy weather in
:51:40. > :51:43.Scotland, eastern Scotland, there will be some breaks in the club.
:51:44. > :51:48.Generally speaking, a lot of cloud overnight. Temperatures at six or 7
:51:49. > :51:53.degrees. A great start tomorrow. We will find in the westerly flow, the
:51:54. > :51:57.western side of the UK, some cloud and drizzle around. But getting into
:51:58. > :52:02.more sheltered areas, may be used Wales for a while, some sunshine and
:52:03. > :52:08.some brighter skies. Temperatures on par with those of today. Rain in the
:52:09. > :52:13.north-west later on. You can trace this warm air to the Caribbean, we
:52:14. > :52:17.will not get the sunshine or the heat, but more mild conditions from
:52:18. > :52:21.across the UK, temperatures peaked on Monday between these two weather
:52:22. > :52:28.friends. A lot of cloud on Monday, windy, bumpy winds -- these two
:52:29. > :52:31.weather fronts. Temperatures as high as 15 or 16 degrees, it depends on
:52:32. > :52:34.the amount of sunshine. That's all from me, have a lovely day. More
:52:35. > :52:41.from me tomorrow. Scunthorpe is a town
:52:42. > :52:43.known for its steel, but from today it will get
:52:44. > :52:46.to experience a gold rush. Golden objects are being hidden
:52:47. > :52:48.around Scunthorpe today It's all part of an art project -
:52:49. > :52:53.with clues hidden in paintings Our Entertainment Correspondent
:52:54. > :52:55.Colin Paterson went Not the most obvious
:52:56. > :53:10.place for a gold rush, but today, these five objects,
:53:11. > :53:13.each worth at least ?2500, will be hidden around the town,
:53:14. > :53:18.and it is finders keepers! It sounds great but I don't think
:53:19. > :53:21.I'll be taking part... How good are you at
:53:22. > :53:30.hunting for things? This is the idea of this
:53:31. > :53:43.artist, Luke Jerram. I'm interested in art which has an
:53:44. > :53:50.idea of participation. I liked the idea of participation
:53:51. > :53:52.and providing people with a new way of thinking,
:53:53. > :53:56.and this artwork, with all of these layers, have content
:53:57. > :53:57.and stories to tell, Luke Jerram enlisted
:53:58. > :54:00.a code maker from GCHQ to create five puzzles,
:54:01. > :54:02.which have been turned Each answer will reveal
:54:03. > :54:10.the location of an object. We are not allowed to show
:54:11. > :54:12.you the whole of any of the paintings in focus,
:54:13. > :54:15.in case treasure hunters work out At 10am this morning,
:54:16. > :54:21.anyone who would like a go will be allowed into the 2021
:54:22. > :54:23.Visual Arts Centre to try We've had interest from people
:54:24. > :54:37.on Twitter from miles away, and apparently there are treasure
:54:38. > :54:40.hunters from across the world who This is footage of one
:54:41. > :54:44.of the objects being hidden, we are told none of them have been
:54:45. > :54:47.buried in case treasure hunters The five 18-carat models are models
:54:48. > :54:52.of artefacts from the town's museum. I like the idea of objects that have
:54:53. > :55:00.been found in the area, coming to the museum,
:55:01. > :55:01.copied and hidden So there are new versions
:55:02. > :55:08.for people to look for. Part of it makes me
:55:09. > :55:10.think of Monopoly! It is like the world's
:55:11. > :55:14.poshest Monopoly set! Organisers expect at least one
:55:15. > :55:17.treasure to be found today, but believe the hardest puzzle
:55:18. > :55:21.could take years to solve. Scunthorpe, once known for steel -
:55:22. > :55:24.now it is all about gold! If you want to join in the treasure
:55:25. > :55:37.hunt, the five paintings featuring clues will be displayed
:55:38. > :55:39.at Scunthorpe's 20-21 Visual Arts Centre from today
:55:40. > :55:45.until the 29th of April. We've all seen restaurant receipts
:55:46. > :55:48.where a suggested service But it's now emerged that some
:55:49. > :55:53.cruise lines are adding as much as ?90 per person to the cost
:55:54. > :55:57.of an eight-day trip. It appears as a compulsory service
:55:58. > :56:00.charge unless you fill So just how optional
:56:01. > :56:05.is tipping cruise ship staff Simon Calder, travel editor
:56:06. > :56:23.of the Independent, has been What is the procedure? It is
:56:24. > :56:27.accepted, unless you particularly don't want to, tipping a fair amount
:56:28. > :56:32.of money. In the olden days they would say, they looked after your
:56:33. > :56:38.cabin and would tip the waiters and so on. Now large numbers of cruise
:56:39. > :56:42.lines so that they are going to stipulate a charge that you will
:56:43. > :56:48.pay, and add it to your on-board bill. And, almost all of them say of
:56:49. > :56:53.course, if you want to report Michael Cole reward people
:56:54. > :56:57.individually, you can. But Norwegian Cruise line say that there is a
:56:58. > :57:01.fixed service charge -- if you want to reward people individually.
:57:02. > :57:06.Nowhere could find that you could reduce it or eliminate it
:57:07. > :57:11.completely. The crucial thing is if it is part of the overall cost of
:57:12. > :57:13.the trip, they need to advertise it including the charge. I've
:57:14. > :57:18.subsequently talked to them and said, if you want to reduce it, you
:57:19. > :57:24.can. I think some people would say it is skating on thin ice. If you do
:57:25. > :57:29.not pay the tips, does it mean that staff are underpaid, is it included
:57:30. > :57:32.as part of the salary? The whole business model is that effectively
:57:33. > :57:39.you are often paying ?10 per person per day, effectively which is going
:57:40. > :57:42.into a people to help pay the wages of everyone. A lot of British people
:57:43. > :57:47.feel uncomfortable with that, they do not want to do what many
:57:48. > :57:50.Americans do which is paid tips up front so you are actually paying in
:57:51. > :57:56.advance for service that you have not had yet. It turns upside down
:57:57. > :58:00.the whole idea of tipping. Mind you, since we spoke about it a couple of
:58:01. > :58:04.hours, we've had a lot of heckling. Someone said, I hope you realise
:58:05. > :58:09.that tips maker blizzard stunt or part of the cruise income, shame on
:58:10. > :58:13.you. Fair enough, I tip individuals but I do not want to find on why
:58:14. > :58:21.Bill at the end of the cruise that I've been charged an extra ?10 a day
:58:22. > :58:25.that was not included in the upfront price -- make up a huge part of the
:58:26. > :58:29.cruise income. It is entirely optional, if you want
:58:30. > :58:34.to do that, it is fine, but a lot of people say that they do not. By the
:58:35. > :58:40.way, I've had people pointing out that when you buy a drink, or
:58:41. > :58:44.anything on-board, generally you get an 18% tip added which is
:58:45. > :58:46.non-negotiable, but you kind of know that. A ?5 beer will actually cost
:58:47. > :58:49.you ?6. Simon, thank you. Christian will be here with Rachel
:58:50. > :58:54.from six in the morning.
