The Prime Minister promises new laws to tackle domestic violence.

:00:08.:00:10.

Theresa May says there's a lack of clarity in the current system

:00:11.:00:13.

and that too many victims are being let down.

:00:14.:00:32.

Good morning it's Saturday 18th February.

:00:33.:00:34.

President Trump calls the media the "enemy of the American people"

:00:35.:00:39.

ahead of what's being described as a campaign rally

:00:40.:00:42.

The US food giant Kraft says it won't give up

On the front line with Iraqi forces -

:00:51.:00:57.

we'll find out how they're preparing for an assault

:01:42.:01:47.

Sunday, if rather cloudy. More details later.

:01:48.:01:52.

Theresa May is introducing a new law to combat domestic violence

:01:53.:01:57.

Official figures suggest that every year more than a million women

:01:58.:02:02.

experience domestic abuse in England and Wales.

:02:03.:02:04.

Among men, that figure stands at just over half a million.

:02:05.:02:07.

Last year, 75,000 people were convicted of domestic abuse -

:02:08.:02:09.

that's the highest number ever recorded.

:02:10.:02:11.

There was also the highest ever conviction rate of 75%

:02:12.:02:14.

but some charities are concerned that too many victims

:02:15.:02:16.

Our political correspondent, Adam Fleming,

:02:17.:02:20.

is in Westminster for us this morning.

:02:21.:02:23.

Adam, Theresa May spent 6 years as Home Secretary

:02:24.:02:25.

so she's already had plenty of time to address this issue.

:02:26.:02:31.

Why the new law and what is different about it? She was Home

:02:32.:02:40.

Secretary for six years and responsible for these area but

:02:41.:02:44.

Downing Street says this has been a passion of hers. She extended the

:02:45.:02:50.

law to include criminalising things like controlling behaviour and

:02:51.:02:54.

giving people the right to find out if a new partner had been violent

:02:55.:03:01.

before. The problem she identifies as Prime Minister is that domestic

:03:02.:03:05.

violence is not just one crime contained in one piece of

:03:06.:03:09.

legislation and that those laws are not necessarily clear all the time

:03:10.:03:13.

which means people affected in England and Wales are treated

:03:14.:03:17.

differently depending on which police force they live in. The call

:03:18.:03:23.

has gone in across governments, expert and campaigners and people

:03:24.:03:28.

affected by the violence to come up with ideas as to how the system can

:03:29.:03:32.

be strengthen so that everybody is treated the same. A new piece of

:03:33.:03:36.

legislation will be deposited here in Parliament at some point. The

:03:37.:03:43.

Prime Minister is also looking at quick wins, ideas and initiatives

:03:44.:03:47.

that can help people straightaway. She is also talking about the bigger

:03:48.:03:52.

point that if she talks about it, police talk about it, you and I will

:03:53.:03:59.

talk about it and it may give victims more courage to come

:04:00.:04:00.

forward. President Donald Trump is preparing

:04:01.:04:02.

to address a rally of supporters at the end of an eventful week

:04:03.:04:05.

for the new US government. Yesterday, Mr Trump sought

:04:06.:04:09.

to focus on his promise but later resumed his

:04:10.:04:11.

criticism of the media, branding a number of news

:04:12.:04:14.

organisations The president of the United States

:04:15.:04:31.

may have been in office for less than a month but it is clear this is

:04:32.:04:35.

a part of the job he enjoys, addressing an audience he can see

:04:36.:04:41.

and hear. We love America and we are going to protect America. We love

:04:42.:04:45.

our workers and we are going to protect our workers. At the tour of

:04:46.:04:50.

Boeing in South Carolina he read the rate of one of his biggest campaign

:04:51.:04:56.

promises. Next stop, Florida, a place that supported when he

:04:57.:05:02.

supported him when he needed it most. It is unusual for a president

:05:03.:05:11.

to hold a rally like this so soon after inauguration but much of what

:05:12.:05:17.

Donald Trump has done so far has been unconventional, including a

:05:18.:05:20.

blossoming relationship with the main media. You are dishonest

:05:21.:05:27.

people. Last night he expressed his displeasure in his favourite way

:05:28.:05:33.

with another critical tweet. Even journalists from organisations on

:05:34.:05:37.

his side are unhappy, particularly when it comes to Russia. The

:05:38.:05:44.

opposition was hacked and the Russians were responsible for it and

:05:45.:05:48.

your people were on the same day to Russia when it happened, and we are

:05:49.:05:55.

all asking? No, sir. He has a lot his plate, a vacancy in Cabinet,

:05:56.:06:01.

accusations of chaos in the administration pulls dog he will be

:06:02.:06:04.

hoping that by going directly to voters, he can at least expect some

:06:05.:06:07.

warmth. Police in Malaysia say they've

:06:08.:06:11.

arrested a North Korean man in connection with the death

:06:12.:06:14.

of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of the North Korean

:06:15.:06:16.

leader, Kim Jong-un. He died on Monday

criticised plans to reform business rates

for the first time in seven years. Lord Tebbit, Sir Vince Cable

:06:28.:06:30.

and Dame Margaret Beckett all voiced their concerns

:06:31.:06:33.

over the new system, which comes into force in England

:06:34.:06:35.

on the 1st of April. The government claims most

:06:36.:06:39.

businesses will not see an increase. But some of the UK's biggest

:06:40.:06:42.

employers' groups are condemning changes

:06:43.:06:44.

to the appeals process for the property valuations

:06:45.:06:47.

the new rates will be based on. The Anglo-Dutch company,

Unilever, which makes brands, including Marmite

:06:53.:06:54.

and PG Tips, has rejected a ?115

:06:55.:06:57.

billion takeover bid from the American food

:06:58.:07:01.

giant Kraft-Heinz. Unilever said there was no basis

:07:02.:07:04.

for further negotiations, but Kraft has said it will continue

:07:05.:07:10.

to work on a potential deal, which would make it

the second biggest takeover Here's more from our business

correspondent, Joe Lynam. Unilever makes some of the best

:07:17.:07:27.

known brands in anyone's kitchen, two Philadelphia cheese to Marmite.

:07:28.:07:34.

Hardly a country on earth will not know their products if you put that

:07:35.:07:40.

together with Kraft. It has higher profit margins but a smaller

:07:41.:07:46.

presence in growing markets such as Asia. ?150 billion is what Unilever

:07:47.:07:52.

is worth. Although they enjoy lower profit margin, they have a large

:07:53.:07:57.

presence in Asia and has 13 factories here including Norwich,

:07:58.:08:02.

Liverpool and Gloucester but after Kraft to renege on promises in aid

:08:03.:08:06.

when it bought Cadbury seven years ago, some are calling for the

:08:07.:08:10.

government to intervene in this merger battle. I very concerned.

:08:11.:08:16.

This is one of the practical consequences of the Brexit. Overseas

:08:17.:08:20.

companies moving in and taking over British businesses that cheaply

:08:21.:08:25.

potentially against the national interest. This is the first bait

:08:26.:08:31.

that it will not be the last. Expect shareholders and politicians to have

:08:32.:08:33.

their say in coming months. Iraqi forces are preparing to launch

:08:34.:08:40.

an offensive to drive Islamic State It's the last major urban area

:08:41.:08:43.

in the country that's still under From Mosul's southern front,

:08:44.:08:48.

our Middle East correspondent, In towns and villages along

:08:49.:08:51.

the Tigris, and across the desert, they are readying for

:08:52.:08:56.

the attack on West Mosul. These are the men of Iraq's

:08:57.:09:02.

emergency response division. It took 100 days to

:09:03.:09:04.

take the city's east. They've been arrested

:09:05.:09:16.

but the battle scars are still fresh.

:09:17.:09:24.

The west of Mosul will be a different battle.

:09:25.:09:27.

This mortar team is going through final weapons checks.

:09:28.:09:30.

The city's dense neighbourhoods mean great care will be needed

:09:31.:09:33.

Nearly three quarters of a million are still in the city.

:09:34.:09:43.

They'll be in the middle of this firepower.

:09:44.:09:50.

When these men were in the east they experienced

:09:51.:09:53.

what does the Islamic State have left?

:09:54.:10:00.

and how fiercely will IS fight for its last remaining city in Iraq?

:10:01.:10:09.

British boots are on the ground, too.

:10:10.:10:12.

Major-General Rupert Jones is on a last-minute inspection

:10:13.:10:14.

They'll be supporting the Iraqi assault on Mosul.

:10:15.:10:21.

well, look, East Mosul took 100 days.

:10:22.:10:25.

West Mosul could be every bit as tough, so, you know,

:10:26.:10:28.

You don't retake towns and cities the size of Mosul,

:10:29.:10:33.

On the parade ground, Kurdish forces.

:10:34.:10:40.

And the Defence Secretary bringing a reminder

:10:41.:10:42.

We're picking up information all the time now,

:10:43.:10:47.

information about those foreign fighters,

:10:48.:10:48.

Information, too, about some of the attacks

:10:49.:10:57.

that have been planned in Western Europe.

:10:58.:10:59.

So this work is not simply freeing people in Mosul from having to live

:11:00.:11:03.

This won't be Iraq's last fight against IS,

:11:04.:11:08.

Quentin Sommerville, BBC News, on Mosul's southern front.

:11:09.:11:17.

One of the strongest storms possibly in decades,

:11:18.:11:20.

dubbed a "bombogenesis", is set to drench California

:11:21.:11:24.

this weekend, prompting fears of flash floods.

:11:25.:11:27.

The system is dumping torrential downpour from Los Angeles

:11:28.:11:29.

to San Francisco, fuelled by an atmospheric river

:11:30.:11:32.

Meteorologists describe the bombogenesis

:11:33.:11:36.

as an intense extra-tropical cyclonic low-pressure area,

:11:37.:11:38.

Bombogenesis, the new Word of the day. After another is an full week

:11:39.:12:01.

in US politics, President Trump prepares for a rally in Florida. It

:12:02.:12:06.

is being built as a campaign event at just 29 days into the presidency.

:12:07.:12:13.

Good morning and thank you for your time. Can we talk about the event he

:12:14.:12:20.

attended at bowing. Many people think instinctively this is more

:12:21.:12:24.

comfortable territory. He was talking about jobs, the mantra of

:12:25.:12:30.

jobs for the US and things to be made and bought in the US? He has

:12:31.:12:37.

had a number of days of that headlines and he's going back to the

:12:38.:12:42.

people that he has promised to deliver four, the average worker,

:12:43.:12:45.

the average voter and that is where he feels comfortable, getting that

:12:46.:12:51.

affirmation and we have seen that with his visit to Boeing and this

:12:52.:12:58.

rally in Florida which speaks to how his approval numbers among his

:12:59.:13:04.

supporters are high. Thinking slightly cynically that the event he

:13:05.:13:10.

is attending seems odd, as a campaigning rally and he has just

:13:11.:13:17.

become president. One is the wasting time on this when he could be

:13:18.:13:22.

sorting out a lot of outstanding business? One of the interesting

:13:23.:13:27.

features of Donald Trump as a candidate was that he was great at

:13:28.:13:31.

rallies and outperformed Hillary Clinton. He was filling large

:13:32.:13:37.

stadiums. Towards the end of the campaign he was during three rallies

:13:38.:13:44.

and day. My guess is the reason he may be doing a 2020 campaign is to

:13:45.:13:50.

try to get some of that positive feedback and get people excited

:13:51.:13:55.

about his presidency again even though he still has not been

:13:56.:13:59.

president for very long. Help us with some of the patterns, due you

:14:00.:14:06.

think this is what we are going to see, him attending events where he

:14:07.:14:11.

will get lots of plaudits from people and not his press conference

:14:12.:14:19.

where he is so at odds with the press, what he has now named an

:14:20.:14:25.

enemy of the people. He has become very impatient with the media. We

:14:26.:14:34.

have seen in the last press conference, it was not on schedule,

:14:35.:14:39.

he was rumoured to have locked in his office and said let's have a

:14:40.:14:44.

press conference. I think that is how he will continue. It will be

:14:45.:14:52.

press conferences, Twitter, it may be further rallies and planned

:14:53.:14:56.

visits. Those are not so unusual. President George W Bush would tour

:14:57.:15:03.

plans. But it would be to highlight a particular policy and what does

:15:04.:15:07.

not seem to be accomplished in these visas is policy. To what extent is

:15:08.:15:20.

he dropping in things that are not true, claims about his election

:15:21.:15:22.

success, for example? Which everyone knows aren't true. He seems to

:15:23.:15:28.

compound the problems of fake news by pushing fake news himself. Well,

:15:29.:15:34.

he himself is not pushing fake news. He might be providing wrong

:15:35.:15:38.

information but the press brings the news. It isn't helped cool to have

:15:39.:15:50.

false facts out there -- isn't helpful. He was the one who had more

:15:51.:15:56.

college votes, even on Republicans. But he was challenged and fell back

:15:57.:16:00.

to saying that was the information he was given. Anneke Green, thank

:16:01.:16:09.

you very much for your time this morning. A look at the morning

:16:10.:16:15.

papers. The Daily Mail has a story that they've been covering all week

:16:16.:16:18.

concerning the rise in business rates. They highlight one particular

:16:19.:16:22.

shopkeeper who has written a scathing letter about the

:16:23.:16:25.

government's approach to business, saying the whole thing needs to be

:16:26.:16:30.

reviewed. It is a mixed picture across the country.

:16:31.:16:35.

On the issues of the economy, the Times focuses on the housing market.

:16:36.:16:39.

Homeowners, they say, waking up to ten months sometimes to sell their

:16:40.:16:48.

properties. Also related to economic uncertainty, looking ahead to events

:16:49.:16:52.

in the next two years related to Brexit.

:16:53.:16:56.

And Tony Blair's entry into politics again makes the front page of the

:16:57.:17:01.

Guardian, saying his speech sparked fury within general voters and the

:17:02.:17:07.

Labour Party because they feel it could be damaging to David Ali

:17:08.:17:15.

Sonboly-- Labour's prospects. On the front page of the Telegraph,

:17:16.:17:20.

three former trade secretary is criticising Britain's rates. Various

:17:21.:17:30.

voices joining in those calls of a review for business rates.

:17:31.:17:34.

Briefly on the front page of the Sun. A father of three who

:17:35.:17:38.

apparently died 27 times in 24 hours but still survived. He was playing

:17:39.:17:45.

walking football at the time, which is the subject of Mike's story later

:17:46.:17:51.

in the programme. Good news at the end as he was OK.

:17:52.:17:52.

Here's Darren with a look at this morning's weather.

:17:53.:17:58.

Good morning. On the face of it this picture doesn't look very promising.

:17:59.:18:06.

A mild and misty start, especially across England and Wales, but things

:18:07.:18:10.

will improve. Sunshine developing. Rain in the north. The winds are

:18:11.:18:16.

stronger there, keeping mist and fog at bay. That rain will move very

:18:17.:18:20.

slowly southwards. To the south of it, a great start for England and

:18:21.:18:25.

Wales. Some mist and quite a lot of hill fog around. Fog around the

:18:26.:18:29.

coast as well. Northwards we have rain in Northern Ireland, in the

:18:30.:18:34.

south. It is moving into the north-west of England and north

:18:35.:18:36.

Wales and wet weather is affecting the west of Scotland. East of

:18:37.:18:40.

Scotland should have largely dry day. We have some sunshine as well.

:18:41.:18:45.

As the rain clears from Northern Ireland we get some brighter skies

:18:46.:18:49.

and sunshine in the afternoon. Still damp and dreary in the north-west of

:18:50.:18:53.

England and north Wales. As you can see, the rest of England and Wales

:18:54.:18:58.

is cheering up. Temperatures as high as 13 degrees, even around the

:18:59.:19:03.

Murray Firth. This is the rain we have in northern England. It slipped

:19:04.:19:07.

southwards and fizzles out. We could have wet weather in western Scotland

:19:08.:19:11.

where we have the strong winds. On the whole cloudy skies in the UK. A

:19:12.:19:15.

couple of breaks here and there in the east, but temperatures sticking

:19:16.:19:20.

out about 6-7. A lot of cloud to start tomorrow. We have this moist

:19:21.:19:25.

westerly airflow. Many western parts have cloudy skies, maybe a bit of

:19:26.:19:30.

drizzle around coastal hills. In the east of Scotland and east Wales we

:19:31.:19:35.

have some sunshine. Temperatures not far off today. About 11- 12 degrees

:19:36.:19:42.

typically. Into Monday we can trace the air all the way back to the

:19:43.:19:47.

Caribbean. And this mild air is coming over the Atlantic towards our

:19:48.:19:52.

shores. They will come with a lot of cloud. That mild air trapped between

:19:53.:19:57.

the weather systems, so again some rain and drizzle around western

:19:58.:20:01.

hills and coast. We get sunshine in the east and we could possibly see

:20:02.:20:04.

temperatures on Monday into the mid- teens. What is going on? March --

:20:05.:20:11.

much higher than it should be at this time of year! Crack on the

:20:12.:20:18.

shorts! I've got them on already, you just

:20:19.:20:23.

can't see! We will be back with the news at

:20:24.:20:29.

6:30am. Now it is time for The Film Review.

:20:30.:20:40.

Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

:20:41.:20:43.

To take us through this week's cinema releases as ever is Mark

:20:44.:20:46.

We have The Great Wall in which Matt Damon goes head

:20:47.:21:05.

And Moonlight, for my money, one of the best films I've

:21:06.:21:10.

The Hidden Figures are both the hidden mathematical equations

:21:11.:21:26.

needed to get a man into space and also the hidden people used

:21:27.:21:30.

It's tag lined meet the women you don't know behind

:21:31.:21:37.

It's based on the story of African American women working

:21:38.:21:43.

in Nasa in the early 1960s on the mathematical formula

:21:44.:21:46.

The three main characters are all struggling to be recognised

:21:47.:21:52.

for their talent, both at work and at home.

:21:53.:21:54.

Pastor mentioned you're a computer at Nasa.

:21:55.:22:02.

They let women handle that sort of...?

:22:03.:22:11.

I'm just surprised that something so taxing...

:22:12.:22:22.

Mr Johnson, if I were you I'd quit talking right now.

:22:23.:22:26.

I will have you know I was the first negro female student

:22:27.:22:32.

On any given day I analysed levels for aerial displacement,

:22:33.:22:40.

And compute over 10,000 calculations by hand.

:22:41.:22:47.

So, yes, they let women do some things at Nasa.

:22:48.:22:52.

And it's not because we wear skirts, it's because we wear glasses.

:22:53.:23:01.

I mean, it's a really likeable film and tells a story I had't heard

:23:02.:23:05.

before, a celebration of people breaking

:23:06.:23:06.

A terrific performance from Kevin Costner as the head

:23:07.:23:13.

of the space task force who just wants to do the job

:23:14.:23:16.

What I like about it is it's a broad strokes film and the complexity

:23:17.:23:23.

is left for the equations, but it knows how

:23:24.:23:26.

to engage the audience and get them involved with the characters and how

:23:27.:23:29.

Also, how to make the solving of these equations actually exciting.

:23:30.:23:34.

It is quite difficult to make someone solving equations

:23:35.:23:36.

on a blackboard look exciting, and they do it well.

:23:37.:23:39.

The performances are very likeable and it's one of those films that

:23:40.:23:43.

manages to take a true story and tells it in

:23:44.:23:46.

It has you rooting for the main characters.

:23:47.:23:51.

It is eye opening and a story I did not know before.

:23:52.:23:54.

You might have heard it before, but I confess I didn't.

:23:55.:23:57.

It does it really well and in a way that I think's

:23:58.:24:01.

You will come out of it with a skip in your step feeling uplifted.

:24:02.:24:05.

Because it's not just lecturing about the sexism and racism?

:24:06.:24:09.

It's telling it in a way that engages you with the characters.

:24:10.:24:15.

It is very, very broad strokes, but done so in a way where it knows

:24:16.:24:19.

when to use sentimentality or melodrama and does

:24:20.:24:22.

It's really very entertaining which is what you need a mainstream

:24:23.:24:30.

Oh dear, you're already laughing!

:24:31.:24:37.

The most expensive film ever made purely in China,

:24:38.:24:39.

The tag line, 1700 years to build 500 miles long.

:24:40.:24:42.

So this is a spectacularly silly but spectacular film.

:24:43.:24:48.

Matt Damon is a mercenary in search of magical black power

:24:49.:24:55.

but he discovers the wall was built to keep out

:24:56.:24:58.

He encountered one early on and he cut its hand off.

:24:59.:25:06.

Everyone's very impressed that he defeated one

:25:07.:25:08.

So they think, let's get him involved in our fight.

:25:09.:25:11.

But will he join forces or end up trying to steal the magical powder.

:25:12.:25:15.

The thing with Zhang Yimou is he does know how to stage

:25:16.:25:19.

exciting set pieces and action sequences.

:25:20.:25:21.

However, my own opinion is that Duncan Jones in Warcraft

:25:22.:25:25.

was doing some of this stuff rather better.

:25:26.:25:32.

Plus, when we get to the final battle, it is essentially a rerun

:25:33.:25:36.

of a battle in Lord of the Rings, but with Matt Damon doing

:25:37.:25:40.

It's colourful, there are well choreographed sequences.

:25:41.:25:43.

But it is a piece of utter tomfoolery and it is rather long.

:25:44.:25:46.

Yes, you would have got away with it if it was slightly shorter.

:25:47.:25:53.

It probably isn't as long as it felt, it just felt like a long film.

:25:54.:25:57.

However, almost not long enough is Moonlight.

:25:58.:26:01.

Yes, it's just an astonishing work from director Barry Jenkins.

:26:02.:26:12.

A coming of age story about a young man growing up in a neighbourhood

:26:13.:26:16.

in Miami, wrestling with poverty, identity, drugs, sexuality.

:26:17.:26:20.

Sounds like a recipe for a downbeat neorealist film,

:26:21.:26:23.

Three actors play the central character and the chapters

:26:24.:26:27.

are identified by the names that he assumes or is given.

:26:28.:26:33.

In the first section, having been basically abandoned

:26:34.:26:39.

by his mother, who's a drug addict, he is befriended by a local dealer

:26:40.:26:43.

who you will recognise from the previous clip.

:26:44.:26:45.

Huh? What happened?

:26:46.:26:55.

Why you didn't come home like you were supposed to?

:26:56.:26:58.

Wouldn't tell me where he lived til this morning.

:26:59.:27:18.

You know he is a drug dealer but is also a very paternal figure

:27:19.:27:46.

and becomes a role model to some extent.

:27:47.:27:48.

The film tells this story in a way which is poetic and beautiful,

:27:49.:27:54.

and understands that there is hardship in this life

:27:55.:27:56.

A film in which the sound of the ocean is the backdrop

:27:57.:28:03.

There is the key sequence in which the young kid

:28:04.:28:08.

The film has such command of the cinematic medium both

:28:09.:28:14.

in the way it uses imagery and music.

:28:15.:28:16.

The music is superb, from classical to original

:28:17.:28:21.

compositions to pop tunes, all blended together to take

:28:22.:28:23.

you inside the psychology of the characters.

:28:24.:28:26.

Most importantly, it's a film which is really sympathetic

:28:27.:28:30.

which gives voice to characters which in other movies would be

:28:31.:28:36.

I've seen it a couple of times now and the first time I saw it

:28:37.:28:42.

The second time I spent a lot of it in tears because I found it

:28:43.:28:47.

so moving, so profoundly poetic and sympathetic.

:28:48.:28:49.

It is heartfelt, it has elements of tragedy in it,

:28:50.:28:52.

but also this really tactile sensuous feel to it.

:28:53.:28:55.

It's a remarkable second feature from Barry Jenkins.

:28:56.:29:01.

Obviously it is a major awards contender and for my money the best

:29:02.:29:10.

I was of course refering to last year, as it came out

:29:11.:29:18.

I think it's a very important film, but also a wonderful piece

:29:19.:29:22.

Everything, how it looks, sounds, how it's written.

:29:23.:29:27.

The fact you can feel the honesty and integrity.

:29:28.:29:30.

Please tell me you loved it as much as I did.

:29:31.:29:38.

I loved it and we know you loved it too.

:29:39.:29:41.

It's fantastic. That's the must watch this week.

:29:42.:29:43.

Best out at the moment is the film that I think I said last week,

:29:44.:29:47.

even watching the trailer, "Oh, my goodness".

:29:48.:29:49.

I almost lost the will to live watching it.

:29:50.:29:52.

Moonlight is the best thing out, but also the best thing

:29:53.:29:54.

A black comedy about father daughter estrangement.

:29:55.:29:59.

I know you said you hated the trailer.

:30:00.:30:01.

I don't know why they're going to remake it in English.

:30:02.:30:09.

And for anyone who wants to watch a DVD?

:30:10.:30:12.

So there's this documentary by Kirsten Johnson called Camera

:30:13.:30:14.

She was the cinematographer on a number of films,

:30:15.:30:20.

She has taken outtake footage and put it together to make

:30:21.:30:25.

an odyssey of her career in which the stories around the side

:30:26.:30:28.

of the stories become the central story.

:30:29.:30:32.

It is a wonderful film about the responsibility

:30:33.:30:34.

of documentary making and how you can find beauty where

:30:35.:30:37.

Called Camera Person - I think you will like it very much.

:30:38.:30:42.

As ever, good to see you, and see you next week.

:30:43.:30:48.

You can find more film reviews and news online. And you can catch up

:30:49.:30:57.

with all of our previous programmes of course on the BBC iPlayer. That's

:30:58.:31:03.

it for this week. Moonlight is the one to watch. Goodbye.

Theresa May is introducing a new law to combat domestic violence

:31:28.:31:31.

The Prime Minister says victims of domestic violence

:31:32.:31:38.

are being "let down by the legal system"

:31:39.:31:40.

and is promising to increase convictions for what she describes

:31:41.:31:46.

as a "life shattering and abhorrent crime".

:31:47.:31:48.

Some charities are concerned to many victims are not coming forward.

:31:49.:31:54.

President Donald Trump is preparing to address a rally of supporters

:31:55.:31:57.

in Florida at the end of an eventful week for the new US government.

:31:58.:32:01.

Yesterday, Mr Trump sought to focus on his promise to boost

:32:02.:32:04.

manufacturing jobs as he visited a Boeing facility in South Carolina.

:32:05.:32:07.

However, he later resumed his criticism of the media's coverage

:32:08.:32:10.

of his first days in office, branding

:32:11.:32:18.

Police in Malaysia say they've arrested a North Korean man

:32:19.:32:23.

in connection with the death of Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother

:32:24.:32:27.

of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un.

:32:28.:32:29.

He died on Monday after apparently being poisoned

:32:30.:32:31.

The man is the fourth suspect to be detained.

:32:32.:32:34.

Three former trade secretaries have criticised plans to reform business

:32:35.:32:37.

rates for the first time in seven years.

:32:38.:32:39.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Lord Tebbit, Sir Vince Cable

:32:40.:32:42.

and Dame Margaret Beckett all voiced their concerns over

:32:43.:32:44.

the new system which comes into force in England

:32:45.:32:47.

The government claims most businesses will not see an increase.

:32:48.:32:51.

But some of the UK's biggest employers' groups are condemning

:32:52.:32:54.

changes to the appeals process for the property valuations

:32:55.:32:56.

The Anglo-Dutch company, Unilever - which makes brands including Marmite

:32:57.:33:03.

and PG Tips, has strongly rejected a one-hundred-and-fifteen

:33:04.:33:05.

billion-pound takeover bid from the American food giant

:33:06.:33:08.

Unilever said there was no basis for further negotiations,

:33:09.:33:10.

but Kraft has said it will continue to work on a potential deal,

:33:11.:33:14.

which would make it the second biggest takeover

:33:15.:33:16.

Iraqi forces are preparing to launch an offensive to drive Islamic State

:33:17.:33:21.

The country's second-largest city was seized by the jihadist group

:33:22.:33:26.

It's the last major urban area in the country that's still under

:33:27.:33:31.

The British Army says it will be a difficult battle.

:33:32.:33:39.

He did not retake towns and city the size of Mosul. The Iraqis know that.

:33:40.:33:50.

It will be a tough fight but I confident they will prevail with our

:33:51.:33:52.

support. California is being hit by what's

:33:53.:33:53.

been described as possibly The extreme weather is causing

with clues to help people find the treasure hidden in paintings

:34:24.:34:30.

which go on display this morning. You need to decode the clues and go

:34:31.:34:46.

look for the treasure. What time does it open! No, you are here until

:34:47.:34:54.

ten. That is amazing. What a great idea. What have you got for us?

:34:55.:35:06.

There is treasure in the FA Cup. To nonleague sounds.

:35:07.:35:11.

Both remaining non league sides, are up against premier league teams,

:35:12.:35:14.

Sutton United will have to wait until Monday night

:35:15.:35:17.

But the other non-league side, Lincoln City, who are top

:35:18.:35:21.

of the national league, get things going this lunchtime.

:35:22.:35:23.

They take on Premier League Burnley, who are 81 places above them.

:35:24.:35:27.

Being underdogs hasn't hindered Lincoln so far though -

:35:28.:35:29.

they've already knocked out Championship sides

:35:30.:35:31.

We have said, going to Burnley is one in 100 chances. That is the

:35:32.:35:46.

realism. But for us to come through the one we have been to and come to

:35:47.:35:52.

the fifth round is probably one in 10,000 chances so we have a ready

Horseracing Authority. Five years ago on BBC Breakfast,

:39:59.:40:01.

we featured the beginnings of Walking Football,

:40:02.:40:07.

when the idea was trialled at Bury. Now there are nearly a thousand

:40:08.:40:09.

places to play across the UK, and among the lives it's

:40:10.:40:13.

transformed is Jan Milner's. Now in her 60's, she is hoping her

:40:14.:40:15.

team take a giant step towards Wembley, this month,

:40:16.:40:22.

in the FA People's Cup. There was a time when all Jan Milner

:40:23.:40:35.

had left was of dreams, memories of playing football. But injuries took

:40:36.:40:42.

her sporting opportunities away and let her to be lonely, isolated and

:40:43.:40:46.

depressed until the moment five years ago she switched on the TV

:40:47.:40:53.

once more. Walking football. Her footballing ambitions were

:40:54.:40:59.

rekindled. I saw it on telly and it was like a light bolt moment. Do you

:41:00.:41:04.

know what? On what some of this because, wow, you now what I mean.

:41:05.:41:12.

She set up her reign team. It is not put much pressure on senior joints

:41:13.:41:18.

of seniors as the fast game and does. I excited. They may be looked

:41:19.:41:25.

at me because of while ago I was in a dark place, I was not good but I

:41:26.:41:30.

have many, many memories but sometimes they are not enough. We

:41:31.:41:36.

are recreating your memories here. I scored a goal today and I really

:41:37.:41:43.

happy stop it went in. I joined the team in training and I was amazed by

:41:44.:41:49.

the speed and accuracy. You have not got the option of running past your

:41:50.:41:57.

opponents. Sorry, I forgot. It is so hard. Not running is instinctive. It

:41:58.:42:04.

does open your eyes that it is not said in tree and a slow as you would

:42:05.:42:11.

like to think. This gives you the alternative to still be able to kick

:42:12.:42:15.

the ball about and get the feel for the ball but are slower pace. Five

:42:16.:42:21.

years ago, there was only one walking football club. Now, or

:42:22.:42:29.

nearly a thousand places you can do this in. He really has transformed

:42:30.:42:34.

the lives of tens of thousands of people. Before this came along, I

:42:35.:42:39.

would be doing a crossword for two or three hours. When I finish, I had

:42:40.:42:45.

a broken ankle, and unique, a new nose. I was widowed four years ago

:42:46.:42:52.

and are doing absolutely nothing stop you do not think that when you

:42:53.:42:56.

get to nearly 70 can play for all, but you can. They will play in the

:42:57.:43:04.

competition in Doncaster this month and if they get through this, they

:43:05.:43:08.

will be one match away from walking out winners. How pressures would

:43:09.:43:18.

that be. It is not too late for you to enter a team in the FA People's

:43:19.:43:26.

football club. They are expecting 40,000 because entries are free and

:43:27.:43:29.

they're right categories for everyone and you can enter a team or

:43:30.:43:34.

as an individual player and find a team. Get inspired to find out more.

:43:35.:43:41.

You brought it to everyone's attention five years ago but this is

:43:42.:43:49.

massive. All around the world. There was one World Championship in the

:43:50.:43:53.

Netherlands. It has reopened up sport, football, transforming the

:43:54.:43:58.

lives of tens of thousands of people. And you struggle not to run.

:43:59.:44:04.

It is hard when you are a natural sprinter like me. I got booked for

:44:05.:44:12.

running. It is a failed. You keep on doing it, you walk off, literally.

:44:13.:44:20.

Time now is 644 ATM. You are watching Breakfast.

The main stories this morning: Theresa May says she will directly

President Donald Trump will address supporters later at a campaign-style

are a good idea, or just encourage bad behaviour.

It says in the papers this morning that we are competing with the --

:45:07.:45:11.

the Caribbean. Pretty mild out there at the moment this morning, but also

:45:12.:45:18.

misty. Sunshine will be developing. We have some rain around and that is

:45:19.:45:22.

moving very slowly southwards. To the south of the rain, across

:45:23.:45:27.

England and Wales, this is where we have very misty weather. Hill fog

:45:28.:45:33.

and coastal fog, which will linger through the morning. Further north,

:45:34.:45:37.

dull and damp in the north-west. Starting with rain in the south of

:45:38.:45:41.

Northern Ireland. That should clear southwards. Eastern Scotland should

:45:42.:45:48.

be largely dry today. Much more sheltered from the stronger winds

:45:49.:45:52.

and there will be sunshine. Across Northern Ireland as the rain clears

:45:53.:45:56.

away across the Irish Sea we should have some sunshine. Further rain and

:45:57.:46:00.

drizzle moving and across north-west England, north Wales. The rest of

England and Wales cheering up. A mild day wherever you are. This rain

:46:06.:46:11.

we have across northern England and north Wales moves south and peters

:46:12.:46:15.

out. Wet weather coming back into western Scotland. On the whole a lot

:46:16.:46:20.

of cloud, with a few breaks here and there in sheltered eastern areas.

:46:21.:46:30.

6-7. Tomorrow starts cloudy. Quite a moist, mild westerly airflow, which

:46:31.:46:33.

means many western parts will have cloudy skies, maybe drizzle over the

:46:34.:46:37.

hills and coasts. Eastern Scotland and eastern England and east Wales,

:46:38.:46:44.

sunshine at times. Another mild day. Temperatures not far off where they

:46:45.:46:48.

have been. Better in the north-west by the end of the day. Heading into

:46:49.:46:52.

Monday we can trace the air all the way back from the Caribbean, coming

:46:53.:46:57.

over the Atlantic of course, bringing mild conditions. There is a

:46:58.:47:01.

weather system to the north of the UK. It will be windy on Monday. The

:47:02.:47:06.

winds are bouncing over the hills. A lot of cloud around. If we get

:47:07.:47:11.

sunshine, across eastern parts in particular, we have temperatures

:47:12.:47:15.

into the mid- teens, which is way above the average for this time of

:47:16.:47:19.

year. It could be a one-day wonder. Temperatures close to normal for the

:47:20.:47:23.

rest of the week. That's it. Back to you. Thank you very much. It looks

:47:24.:47:28.

absolutely lovely. We'll be back with

:47:29.:47:29.

the headlines at 7am. We first meet Team Lab,

:47:30.:47:31.

the 400-strong digital art The team of artists programmers,

:47:32.:48:02.

engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and the like,

:48:03.:48:08.

love to make an impact and here at the Pace London gallery,

:48:09.:48:10.

they're presenting eight As with the work in Tokyo,

:48:11.:48:16.

the idea here combines motion censors and the projectors,

:48:17.:48:23.

which means you have a completely interactive piece that

:48:24.:48:26.

you can touch and change. The whole room has been fully

:48:27.:48:35.

calibrated so the censors can detect where everyone in the installation

:48:36.:48:38.

is really, really accurately. The artwork, the project,

:48:39.:48:41.

the projections, are calculated The pictures really do react

:48:42.:48:49.

to whatever you do while you're This room is called

:48:50.:48:58.

Flowers Bloom On People. With no-one in here,

:48:59.:49:13.

it's just a black room but if you sit around for a few

:49:14.:49:16.

minute, you'll find that nature Now I would say this is pretty

:49:17.:49:19.

cutting-edge projectector technology but Marc Cieslak has assured me

:49:20.:49:32.

he can give this a run This is a home entertainment concept

:49:33.:49:35.

from Razor, a company most famous for manufacturing gaming PCs,

:49:36.:49:47.

covering more lights than Blackpool The concept makes use of coloured

:49:48.:49:49.

lights and projected image, working together in

:49:50.:49:54.

synchronised harmony. What we have here is a concept

:49:55.:49:59.

lighting rig, which is key So the lights in this room

:50:00.:50:03.

will change colour depending on what's happening but it's only

:50:04.:50:07.

part of what's going on. So if I just hit this button here,

:50:08.:50:12.

we get the largest screen And that giant screen size is thanks

:50:13.:50:15.

to a pretty expensive The projector is fitted with a 155-

:50:16.:50:28.

degree fish eye lens, combined with two depth sensing

:50:29.:50:36.

cameras that scans the rooms for objects and furniture,

:50:37.:50:39.

and the system adjusts the image to prevent it from

:50:40.:50:42.

becoming distorting. So the idea is that by having

:50:43.:50:43.

a screen that envelopes, the peripheral vision of the viewer,

:50:44.:50:46.

you really feel like you're thrown inside the action,

:50:47.:50:50.

and it is surprisingly effective. At the moment, this system remains

:50:51.:50:52.

a concept but Razor has hinted it Oh, I can see lightings

:50:53.:51:09.

and stuff playing. I've been discovering some

:51:10.:51:25.

of the the latest ways that the technology is being used

:51:26.:51:27.

to help the visually impaired. It all starts with a spot

:51:28.:51:33.

of virtual reality. It just made me so, it was happiness

:51:34.:51:35.

but it made me cry and I just I'd been without full sight

:51:36.:51:51.

for so many years and then all of a sudden I could see things

:51:52.:51:55.

that I hadn't seen for 30 years. Here at the Beacon Centre,

:51:56.:51:59.

a charity supporting those with sight loss, an interesting

:52:00.:52:01.

trial is taking place. It seems some people can see things

:52:02.:52:04.

in VR they could never see I'd never expected it

:52:05.:52:17.

but when they put the head set on, I mean there was giraffes,

:52:18.:52:30.

coming up and looking at me! What would you say to other people

:52:31.:52:38.

with a similar level of vision to you about the experience

:52:39.:52:41.

of being able to do this Oh, if you've got the chance,

:52:42.:52:44.

you have to have a go. I mean I know it's not full sight,

:52:45.:52:54.

because you've got to wear a machine, I'm not saying,

:52:55.:52:59.

that but to give you the experience, There are a wide range of conditions

:53:00.:53:03.

that cause sight loss. The nature of which can vary hugely,

:53:04.:53:11.

and even for those with similar problems, the benefits

:53:12.:53:15.

of the VR have varied. By along with the University

:53:16.:53:17.

of Wolverhampton, experts are trying to understand how this

:53:18.:53:20.

is possible at all. What we found quite quickly is that

:53:21.:53:27.

people who had central loss, macular type conditions,

:53:28.:53:30.

as they are called, are the ones Where they still had peripheral

:53:31.:53:33.

vision and whether that peripheral vision is so stimulated

:53:34.:53:39.

as to fill in the gaps, or, whatever wee don't understand

:53:40.:53:42.

yet, is it because it's so close? Is it because there are still sight

:53:43.:53:47.

receptive cells in the centre of the vision, so that

:53:48.:53:52.

when they're stimulated enough, that they will fire

:53:53.:53:54.

and therefore create the vision? There's a whole host of things we're

:53:55.:53:57.

still trying to explore If I could use that when my

:53:58.:54:02.

daughter's doing her school plays or she's singing in the choir,

:54:03.:54:07.

I could never pick out who she was or what she was doing,

:54:08.:54:10.

or be able to see what you are seeing and that could really be

:54:11.:54:15.

quite life changing. But, however clear the virtual world

:54:16.:54:17.

may seem, finding ways to ease There are eye beacons built

:54:18.:54:21.

in here that connect this to the mobile app, so if somebody

:54:22.:54:35.

is approaching and they have the app installed in their phone,

:54:36.:54:40.

they will receive an alert to let them know about the roadworks

:54:41.:54:43.

and how best to approach them. And for someone like Louise

:54:44.:54:46.

with two young kids, this smart street furniture

:54:47.:54:48.

could make all the difference. Because it tells you which way

:54:49.:54:54.

to go, so it can still in my pocket I can have their hands, one in each,

:54:55.:54:58.

and I can hear the voiceover, so it will say something

:54:59.:55:02.

like the pedestrian crossing It's there for three

:55:03.:55:04.

days or however long. So if I do the school run the same

:55:05.:55:13.

day, I know exactly where it's going to be, I have done

:55:14.:55:17.

that walk yesterday. Also this week, big claims

:55:18.:55:20.

from a company that say their smart glasses can give the legally

:55:21.:55:23.

blind 20/20 vision. As well as being able to stream

:55:24.:55:25.

content, they've captured the user's surroundings, converting them

:55:26.:55:28.

into a form, they say, is easier to identify for those

:55:29.:55:30.

with limited vision. Sadly we couldn't put a pair

:55:31.:55:33.

to the test just yet, and it's early days for much

:55:34.:55:37.

of what is being trialled here but the possibilities

:55:38.:55:40.

are certainly looking good. Now, virtual reality has been

:55:41.:55:51.

grabbing all the headlines in recent years but don't forget

:55:52.:55:55.

augmented reality. Now this is the idea of projecting

:55:56.:56:00.

computer generated images on top A bit like this but

:56:01.:56:03.

in a pair of glasses. Well a small band of augmented

:56:04.:56:13.

reality pioneers have been really Here's Marc again with some

:56:14.:56:16.

pretty classy eyewear. These augmented reality glasses

:56:17.:56:25.

are basically a wearable computer. For the last couple of years,

:56:26.:56:27.

augmented reality specs have been used primarily in an industrial

:56:28.:56:30.

setting or in the workplace. These have been competed

:56:31.:56:33.

by a company called ODG, and they've been designed far more

:56:34.:56:36.

with the consumer in mind. They feel a lot closer to normal

:56:37.:56:44.

glasses, so to get the best out So, I stand up, at the moment,

:56:45.:56:48.

there's a 360-degree video playing. If I look around, I get

:56:49.:56:56.

a different viewpoint here. I see a robot in front of me

:56:57.:56:59.

and what looks like some kind of futuristic hospital,

:57:00.:57:03.

and there's a guy over here, who seems very unhappy and another

:57:04.:57:07.

guy who looks seems to be The images move

:57:08.:57:10.

seemlessly with my head. If I look around I can see planet

:57:11.:57:16.

earth in front of me. I can walk inside it and see

:57:17.:57:20.

from outside of the planet, and appreciate it from this angle,

:57:21.:57:25.

and if I stand here, yep, a Space Station that's

:57:26.:57:38.

orbiting the earth as well. Now, the glasses know

:57:39.:57:43.

where they are, spacially, as there are a couple

:57:44.:57:45.

of cameras on front of them. All of the processing is happening

:57:46.:57:54.

on the head set itself. The ODGR-8 glasses will cost around

:57:55.:57:57.

?800 but they are basically Are some cheaper, lower tech AR

:57:58.:58:00.

options out there, though. There are lots of low-cost virtual

:58:01.:58:04.

reality headsets that make This is a low-cost augmented reality

:58:05.:58:13.

headset that uses a phone. Put an AR app in it

:58:14.:58:16.

and the images on the screen So, when the headset's on,

:58:17.:58:21.

I can look down the screen and I scan see graphics reflected

:58:22.:58:28.

from the phone just in the headset. Now, it has another trick

:58:29.:58:32.

up its sleeve as well. I can see my hands in front of me

:58:33.:58:38.

and use them to cast flames. That's it for the short cut

:58:39.:58:44.

to combat domestic violence The Prime Minister says victims

of domestic violence are being "let

:00:06.:00:13.

:00:14.:00:41.

to address a rally of supporters in Florida at the end of an eventful

:00:42.:00:44.

week for the new US government. Yesterday, Mr Trump sought to focus

:00:45.:00:48.

on his promise to boost manufacturing jobs as he visited

:00:49.:00:51.

a Boeing facility in South Carolina. On the front line

:00:52.:00:54.

:01:28.:01:33.

Theresa May is introducing a new law to combat domestic violence

:01:34.:01:38.

The Prime Minister says it is an abhorrent crime it is a priority for

:01:39.:01:48.

the government. Official figures suggest that every

:01:49.:01:49.

year more than a million women experience domestic abuse

:01:50.:01:52.

in England and Wales. Among men, that figure stands

:01:53.:01:54.

at just over half a million. Last year, 75,000 people

:01:55.:01:57.

were convicted of domestic abuse - that's the highest

:01:58.:02:00.

number ever recorded. There was also the highest ever

:02:01.:02:01.

conviction rate of 75% but some charities are concerned

:02:02.:02:04.

that too many victims Our political correspondent,

:02:05.:02:07.

Adam Fleming, is in Westminster

:02:08.:02:14.

for us this morning. Adam, Theresa May spent 6 years

:02:15.:02:18.

as Home Secretary so she's already had plenty of time

:02:19.:02:21.

to address this issue. Number ten are keen to point out

:02:22.:02:31.

that this is something Theresa May is personally very engaged in. As

:02:32.:02:37.

Home Secretary she did change the law when it came to domestic

:02:38.:02:41.

violence, giving people the right to find out if their new partner had

:02:42.:02:46.

been violent in a previous relationship and made it illegal to

:02:47.:02:50.

engage in emotional abuse, to control your partner. The issue she

:02:51.:02:55.

realises now as Prime Minister is that domestic violence is not one

:02:56.:03:01.

goal enshrined in one piece of legislation, and some of it is not

:03:02.:03:08.

very clear. The way they are treated, victims of domestic

:03:09.:03:12.

violence, depends on where they live because it is up to police to

:03:13.:03:18.

determine how they see fit. The Home Office, the Ministry of Justice,

:03:19.:03:22.

experts, lawyers and campaigners have been asked to come up to tidy

:03:23.:03:28.

all this up and will probably come up as a single bill some point in

:03:29.:03:36.

the future. In the shorter term she is looking for quick fix, smaller

:03:37.:03:42.

initiatives that can help people immediately. The other big thing is

:03:43.:03:47.

that she feels that by being talking about this and being open about the

:03:48.:03:51.

subject, it could give people who have been affected more confidence

:03:52.:03:59.

to come forward. It is being widely welcomed by campaigners. It is also

:04:00.:04:05.

a reminder that children are affected by domestic violence.

:04:06.:04:11.

One of the strongest storms possibly in decades,

:04:12.:04:13.

dubbed a "bombogenesis", is set to drench California

:04:14.:04:15.

this weekend, prompting fears of flash floods.

:04:16.:04:17.

The system is dumping torrential downpour from Los Angeles

:04:18.:04:20.

to San Francisco, fuelled by an atmospheric river

:04:21.:04:22.

Meteorologists describe the bombogenesis

:04:23.:04:24.

as an intense extra-tropical cyclonic low-pressure area,

:04:25.:04:26.

Some of the images we have seen coming through are quite shocking.

:04:27.:04:40.

In one neighbourhood in Los Angeles a sinkhole swallowed two cars,

:04:41.:04:43.

the second on live TV as viewers watched it teeter on the edge

:04:44.:04:46.

You can see now the before and after pictures.

:04:47.:04:52.

We will be talking live to California in a few minutes time.

President Donald Trump is preparing to address a rally of supporters

:05:07.:05:09.

at the end of an eventful week for the new US government.

:05:10.:05:13.

Yesterday, Mr Trump sought to focus on his promise

:05:14.:05:15.

but later resumed his criticism of the media,

:05:16.:05:19.

branding a number of news organisations

:05:20.:05:20.

The President of the United States may have been in office

:05:21.:05:28.

but it is clear this is a part of the job he enjoys -

:05:29.:05:33.

addressing an audience he can see and hear.

:05:34.:05:37.

We love America and we are going to protect America.

:05:38.:05:40.

We love our workers and we are going to protect our workers.

:05:41.:05:45.

At a tour of Boeing in South Carolina,

:05:46.:05:48.

he reiterated one of his biggest campaign promises.

:05:49.:05:51.

Next stop, Florida, a place that supported him when he needed it

:05:52.:05:56.

most, for an event that some say ispart of a strategy thatwill last

:05:57.:06:01.

It is unusual for a president to hold a rally like

:06:02.:06:11.

so soon after inauguration but much of what Donald Trump has done so far

:06:12.:06:15.

including a worsening relationship with the mainstream media.

:06:16.:06:20.

I'm not ranting and raving, I'm just telling you.

:06:21.:06:22.

Last night, Donald Trump expressed his displeasure

:06:23.:06:26.

in his favourite way with another critical tweet.

:06:27.:06:30.

Even journalists from organisations that have been on his side

:06:31.:06:33.

are not happy with this turn of events,

:06:34.:06:35.

particularly when it comes to Russia.

:06:36.:06:38.

and the Russians were responsible for it

:06:39.:06:42.

and your people were on the phone with Russia

:06:43.:06:44.

on the same day it was happening,

:06:45.:06:46.

and we are fools for asking the questions?

:06:47.:06:48.

a vacancy for a national security adviser,

:06:49.:06:55.

and accusations of chaos in his administration.

:06:56.:07:01.

He will be hoping that by going directly to voters,

:07:02.:07:04.

he can at least expect some warmth in the Sunshine State.

:07:05.:07:07.

The Anglo-Dutch company, Unilever - which makes brands including Marmite

:07:08.:07:16.

and PG Tips, has strongly rejected a one-hundred-and-fifteen

:07:17.:07:18.

billion-pound takeover bid from the American food giant

:07:19.:07:20.

Unilever said there was no basis for further negotiations,

:07:21.:07:26.

but Kraft has said it will continue to work on a potential deal,

:07:27.:07:30.

which would make it the second biggest takeover

:07:31.:07:36.

Police in Malaysia say they've arrested a North Korean man

:07:37.:07:41.

in connection with the death of Kim Jong-nam,

:07:42.:07:43.

the half-brother of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un.

:07:44.:07:46.

He died on Monday after apparently being poisoned

:07:47.:07:48.

The man is the fourth suspect to be detained.

:07:49.:07:53.

Three former trade secretaries have criticised plans

:07:54.:07:55.

to reform business rates for the first time in seven years.

:07:56.:07:59.

Lord Tebbit, Sir Vince Cable and Dame Margaret Beckett

:08:00.:08:02.

all voiced their concerns over the new system,

:08:03.:08:05.

which comes into force in England on the 1st of April.

:08:06.:08:09.

The government claims most businesses will not see an increase.

:08:10.:08:13.

But some of the UK's biggest employers' groups

:08:14.:08:15.

are condemning changes to the appeals process

:08:16.:08:17.

for the property valuations the new rates will be based on.

:08:18.:08:23.

The Treasury has submitted plans to the EU which could speed up

:08:24.:08:26.

the process of selling the government's stake

:08:27.:08:28.

The taxpayer still owns around 70% of the bank -

:08:29.:08:33.

which was bailed out at the height of financial crisis.

:08:34.:08:39.

Part of the bailout conditions included selling off

:08:40.:08:41.

around 300 branches of it's Williams Glyn business,

:08:42.:08:43.

but RBS hasn't been able to find a buyer.

:08:44.:08:46.

So the Treasury is suggesting it sets up a multi-million pound fund

:08:47.:08:49.

Iraqi forces are preparing to launch an offensive to drive Islamic State

:08:50.:08:59.

It's the last major urban area in the country that's still under

:09:00.:09:04.

From Mosul's southern front, our Middle East correspondent,

:09:05.:09:07.

In towns and villages along the Tigris, and across the desert,

:09:08.:09:13.

they are readying for the attack on West Mosul.

:09:14.:09:15.

These are the men of Iraq's Emergency Response Division -

:09:16.:09:18.

It took 100 days to take the city's east.

:09:19.:09:31.

but the battle scars are still fresh.

:09:32.:09:36.

The west of Mosul will be a different battle.

:09:37.:09:46.

This mortar team is going through final weapons checks.

:09:47.:09:50.

The city's dense neighbourhoods mean great care will be needed

:09:51.:09:53.

Nearly three quarters of a million are still in the city.

:09:54.:10:08.

They'll be in the middle of this firepower.

:10:09.:10:10.

When these men were in the east they experienced

They'll be supporting the Iraqi assault on Mosul.

:10:34.:10:38.

well, look, East Mosul took 100 days.

:10:39.:10:43.

West Mosul could be every bit as tough, so, you know,

:10:44.:10:46.

You don't retake towns and cities the size of Mosul,

On the parade ground, Kurdish forces and the Defence Secretary

We're picking up information all the time now,

information about those foreign fighters,

Information, too, about some of the attacks

that have been planned in Western Europe.

So this work is not simply freeing people in Mosul

Scunthorpe is a town known for its steel,

Golden objects are being hidden around Scunthorpe today

:11:40.:11:44.

It's all part of an art project - with clues to help people find

:11:45.:11:51.

the treasure hidden in paintings which go on display this morning.

:11:52.:12:06.

There will be a lot of excitement. It is a lot of money.

:12:07.:12:11.

Unilever, has rejected a 115 billion pound

:12:12.:12:23.

takeover bid from the American food giant Kraft-Heinz -

:12:24.:12:25.

which has household name brands like Heinz, Ketchup and Cadbury.

:12:26.:12:28.

Unilever said the offer fundamentally devalued the firm

:12:29.:12:31.

and there was no basis for further negotiations.

:12:32.:12:34.

Unilever is Britain's third largest company,

:12:35.:12:36.

and employees 7,500 employees across the UK.

:12:37.:12:42.

It's best known brands include marmite, PG Tips,

:12:43.:12:44.

Pot Noodle and Surf washing powder, among others.

:12:45.:12:48.

Back in 2010, Kraft's takeover of Cadbury's chocolate irked those

:12:49.:12:52.

with a sweet tooth, after changing the recipe of the traditional

:12:53.:12:55.

After announcing a potential takeover, shares in both companies

:12:56.:13:01.

surged - with Unilever's rising by 13%.

:13:02.:13:05.

Kraft is likely to return with another offer for Unilever,

:13:06.:13:08.

and if it happens, it would be one of the largest mergers

:13:09.:13:11.

Joining us from our London newsroom is the brand strategist,

:13:12.:13:17.

Thank you for your time. How do you think each site might benefit and in

:13:18.:13:31.

particular what is the Kraft times interest in Unilever? It is an

:13:32.:13:36.

interesting and exciting deal. For Kraft, Unilever is an attract if

:13:37.:13:42.

proposition. It is one of the brands most fit for the future and by that

:13:43.:13:47.

I mean they have a number of qualities and that make them better

:13:48.:13:54.

prepared. One of those is a cultural invasion. Secondly, they have strong

:13:55.:14:00.

commitment to diversity and backup conscious of their environmental and

:14:01.:14:04.

ethical impact and they are very attractive things. Do you mean in a

:14:05.:14:14.

post Brexit world? Yes and further. There is going to be some

:14:15.:14:18.

uncertainty as there may be for this deal but it is the long-term that is

:14:19.:14:24.

most attractive to both businesses. 115 billion pounds sounds like a lot

:14:25.:14:31.

of money. Unilever said it was not enough. It must be worth whatever

:14:32.:14:38.

they get paid for it. In years to come, there is a tangible value on

:14:39.:14:44.

the brand. They are strange brain in that they are visible to the

:14:45.:14:52.

consumer, playing civic roles. Unilever has a sustainable and

:14:53.:14:57.

ethical stand and it has tangible value beyond its current price.

:14:58.:15:05.

Kraft promise not to close factories and it did, could that happen and

:15:06.:15:10.

you think if this takeover was to take place? Unilever has

:15:11.:15:21.

successfully sacrificed some short-term profits for longer term

:15:22.:15:25.

gain and that could be societal gain as well as financial gain. These

:15:26.:15:29.

qualities must be things that Kraft is looking to emulate, to make

:15:30.:15:34.

themselves a more trusted and culturally significant business.

:15:35.:15:38.

When you look at their products it is hard to think that anyone at home

:15:39.:15:41.

wouldn't have something made by Unilever. God forbid they mess

:15:42.:15:46.

around with the ingredients of this, which Kraft did with Cadbury's, what

:15:47.:15:54.

would happen if they started to mess around with Marmite, for goodness

:15:55.:15:59.

sake? Maybe everybody would love it! May be! I can't quite see everybody

:16:00.:16:06.

Loving two. These businesses have been around a long time. There's a

:16:07.:16:14.

lot of jostling and positioning that will happen over the coming weeks

:16:15.:16:17.

and they've got about one month to make a final offer. You can imagine

:16:18.:16:21.

there's a lot of backroom, boardroom discussions going on about how they

:16:22.:16:25.

can build more successful Rands that consumers love for generations to

:16:26.:16:30.

come. If you work for Unilever how anxious should you be this morning?

:16:31.:16:35.

Yes, this is quite unsettling and uncertain and many things going on

:16:36.:16:39.

in the world today are uncertain. At the greatest benefit we can have of

:16:40.:16:42.

combating uncertainty is to have a much grander, long-term plan and

:16:43.:16:47.

that's what everyone has to be focused on, is what's going to be

:16:48.:16:52.

right for years to come, rather than the next few weeks. Thank you very

:16:53.:16:54.

much. Hard to imagine a Marmite that

:16:55.:17:00.

everyone loves. Where are you on that? Yes, a little

:17:01.:17:03.

bit of Marmite. You're watching

:17:04.:17:08.

Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:17:39.:17:41.

at this morning's weather. Good morning. We will have a look at

:17:42.:17:56.

the weather in California in a moment. In the UK things are more

:17:57.:17:59.

straightforward. Sunshine developing today. A mild and misty start. Not

:18:00.:18:06.

so misty for northern parts of the UK because there is a stronger wind.

:18:07.:18:10.

We have rain around, which is moving slowly southwards. South of that

:18:11.:18:14.

rain band of the winds are lighter. A great start for most of England

:18:15.:18:19.

and Wales. There will be missed, hill fog and maybe coastal fog.

:18:20.:18:25.

Further north we have the rain across the north-west of England and

:18:26.:18:28.

southern parts of Northern Ireland, moving into the Irish Sea. Eastern

:18:29.:18:34.

Scotland, sheltered from those stronger south-westerly winds,

:18:35.:18:38.

should be largely dry and mild, with a little bit of sunshine. As the

:18:39.:18:44.

rain clears from Northern Ireland we get some sunshine. North Wales, the

:18:45.:18:48.

rest of England and Wales, cheering up. Wherever you are it is pretty

:18:49.:18:53.

mild and we could see 13 degrees where we get some sunshine around

:18:54.:18:57.

the Murray first. Rain for this even in the northern England and Wales.

:18:58.:19:03.

Windy weather across western parts of Scotland. On the whole a lot of

:19:04.:19:08.

cloud around overnight. A few breaks here and there, but generally about

:19:09.:19:14.

6-7. Cloudy tomorrow as you can imagine and we have this quite moist

:19:15.:19:18.

westerly air. Many western areas will keep cloud. Where we have

:19:19.:19:26.

shelter, maybe for eastern parts of Wales, seeing some sunshine. Even

:19:27.:19:30.

with the cloud it's a mild day. Temperatures typically 11- 12. As we

:19:31.:19:38.

head into the beginning of next week we can trace the air all the way

:19:39.:19:42.

from the Caribbean, coming over the Atlantic. There will be cloudy skies

:19:43.:19:46.

for many of us on Monday. Some rain in the north. Really strong winds as

:19:47.:19:50.

well bouncing over the hills. Trapped Inbetweeners weather systems

:19:51.:19:54.

we have the warmer air, so it should be a mild day on Monday. Ridiculous

temperatures, possibly into the midteens. Across in North America

:20:00.:20:05.

with got some warm air, but with also got some very wet air that's

:20:06.:20:08.

been pounding California recently. You've seen this in the news of

:20:09.:20:13.

course earlier in the programme. Flooding is extensive, road closures

:20:14.:20:19.

and a lot of mountains is no. How a gust of 80 mph. This is something to

:20:20.:20:29.

do with explosive psycho Genesis, a rapid area of low pressure wringing

:20:30.:20:35.

wet and windy weather. Maybe three or four inches of rain in southern

:20:36.:20:38.

parts of California. It is the wet season but this is an unusual amount

:20:39.:20:42.

of rain, even for this time of the year. The weather system is moving

:20:43.:20:47.

away. Tonight it should turn dry, but there's more to come. This

:20:48.:20:50.

warmer weather is coming in from the Pacific. More rain and more snow on

:20:51.:20:56.

Sunday. The wet weather transferring further north towards Oregon. Let's

:20:57.:21:00.

have a look at what's happening across the pond. We have the wet

:21:01.:21:04.

weather making the news in California.

:21:05.:21:15.

Thank you. It does look as -- it looks nasty. We have someone from

:21:16.:21:24.

the fire department online with us. Can you give us a sense of what is

:21:25.:21:31.

causing this weather problem? It has been a very busy day for Los Angeles

:21:32.:21:35.

firefighters. We've seen the sharp increase in our emergency calls and

:21:36.:21:39.

this is largely due to the deluge of rain we've had. We have had in calls

:21:40.:21:45.

swallow up cars, we've had people trapped. -- sink holes. Vehicles

:21:46.:21:51.

were overcome on the street, in one incident in particular if the people

:21:52.:21:55.

were stranded. We've had 150 powerlines down over three to four

:21:56.:22:05.

hours. Some of them had deadly consequences. And large trees

:22:06.:22:10.

falling. We were ready for this and we did anticipate it and we have

:22:11.:22:14.

been able to handle the search. You mentioned deadly consequences. Have

:22:15.:22:19.

there been fatalities? Then have. One in particular, we had a large

:22:20.:22:26.

tree that had fallen in an area and took powerlines down with it. Sadly

:22:27.:22:31.

there was an adult male that came into contact with those powerlines

:22:32.:22:40.

or puddles of water. Our firefighters did an outstanding job

:22:41.:22:43.

putting themselves in harms way and were able to cut those powerlines,

:22:44.:22:47.

getting to that person, bring them to a waiting ambulance and transport

:22:48.:22:53.

them to a local hospital, but sadly they were pronounced dead at the

:22:54.:23:00.

hospital. You mentioned the heavy rainfall this is a sequence of

:23:01.:23:10.

event, a car slipping back into a sinkhole and you say that's happened

:23:11.:23:14.

a number of times? Yes, that was a very unique and dangerous incident

:23:15.:23:21.

that happened in an area we call Studio City. A car was upside down

:23:22.:23:27.

in a large sinkhole that was full of rushing water. There was a single

:23:28.:23:33.

occupants standing on that car. About ten people on the street. The

:23:34.:23:37.

firefighters jumped into action and rapidly lowered and extension ladder

:23:38.:23:44.

down. The female climbed out and we transported her to work local

:23:45.:23:50.

hospital. During the transport she told firefighters wanted was really

:23:51.:23:54.

like for her. We are looking at some of those images. She was in the car

:23:55.:23:58.

when it slipped back into the sinkhole. Is that right? That's

:23:59.:24:02.

right. She told firefighters that while she was driving she felt the

:24:03.:24:07.

car pitched at the left and then it tumbled into a sinkhole. The airbags

:24:08.:24:14.

went off and it kind of disoriented that individual. Water started

:24:15.:24:19.

rushing in, she tried to raise the windows but that wouldn't work. She

:24:20.:24:23.

was then able to open the door and climb out, she got on top of the car

:24:24.:24:29.

and started screaming for help. She told firefighters afterwards that

:24:30.:24:32.

she thought she was going to die unfortunately at that time she heard

:24:33.:24:36.

the firefighters yelled back to her. One of the things we can see is the

:24:37.:24:40.

speed of the waters just below where that sinkhole is. You must be

:24:41.:24:46.

worried that might be happening more? You're right. This isn't the

:24:47.:24:52.

only incident in Los Angeles where we've had sinkholes. We've had

:24:53.:24:57.

saturated water underneath pavements, creating problems. We've

:24:58.:25:01.

also had problems with mudslides over the past couple of weeks.

:25:02.:25:09.

Firefighters have remained very busy. They've done an outstanding

:25:10.:25:12.

job protecting properties. I know it's a very busy time for you. Thank

:25:13.:25:18.

you for your time this morning. That was somebody with a Los Angeles fire

department, bringing us up-to-date with the problems they are facing

:25:23.:25:23.

with the severe weather. Voters will head to the polls in two

:25:24.:25:28.

by-elections on Thursday, one in Stoke-on-Trent

:25:29.:25:31.

and the other in Copeland. Both were prompted by

:25:32.:25:33.

the resignation of their Labour MP and, in both, the party

:25:34.:25:36.

faces a tough challenge Copeland is a coastal constituency

:25:37.:25:39.

in the Lake District which is home to the Sellafield nuclear plant

:25:40.:25:43.

and a bitter dispute over This is a constituency of beauty and

:25:44.:25:58.

of contrast. Its remoteness whether Fels of the Lake District meet the

:25:59.:26:02.

Irish Sea is both part of its appeal and part of the challenge of living

:26:03.:26:08.

here. And for the past 70 years it has been home to the nuclear plant

:26:09.:26:14.

at Sellafield, often controversial but a major employer in this area.

:26:15.:26:22.

More than 10,000 people working. -- work here. It has been Labour land

:26:23.:26:26.

since the 1930s but when Jamie Reed quick to return to the nuclear

:26:27.:26:31.

industry, the Conservatives sensed an opportunity to prune the red

:26:32.:26:35.

rose. So could history be made on Thursday? In the heart of the

:26:36.:26:40.

constituency at Fountain bridge, each year the pub hosts the world's

:26:41.:26:46.

biggest liar competition. What better place to discuss politics?

:26:47.:26:54.

This is a senior lecturer. He tells me much has been made of the

:26:55.:26:59.

Labour's leader's opposition to lose -- nuclear power. At the new plant

:27:00.:27:04.

in the area has now been backed by Jeremy Corbyn. Will his leadership

:27:05.:27:13.

you factor? This is a constituency which very much concentrate on local

:27:14.:27:17.

issues and apart from the nuclear issue there is also the hospitals in

:27:18.:27:24.

the area where certainly there is big concern for voters. It is the

:27:25.:27:30.

kind of thing that analysts in by-elections absolutely love. So

:27:31.:27:33.

many things to pore over and potentially a close result. To test

:27:34.:27:41.

the theory, we visited a hustings at a church in Whitehaven. All seven

:27:42.:27:45.

candidates are here. As for the question is, top of the agenda, the

:27:46.:27:51.

future of the local hospital. Also, jobs and transport links. Will you

:27:52.:27:58.

promise me and people like me in this area... And what is abundantly

:27:59.:28:03.

clear is that people here care about Whitehaven rather than Westminster.

:28:04.:28:11.

We are as Sellafield -- as Copeland totally different because we have

:28:12.:28:15.

nuclear on our doorstep. It concerns me greatly that there is a lot of

:28:16.:28:19.

political parties that are using it as a crux for their campaign, as to

:28:20.:28:23.

whether the nuclear industry will be enhanced or if it will be local

:28:24.:28:27.

issue. Because of what's been going on, the health service. That's a big

:28:28.:28:34.

issue. Yes, unemployment as well. I mean, there's an older population

:28:35.:28:39.

here as well. I mean, you need somebody... Services. The services

:28:40.:28:47.

look after you. In 2015 it was a two horse race. Labour held the seat,

:28:48.:28:52.

albeit by a reduced margin over the Conservatives, with Ukip coming

:28:53.:28:56.

third. There were large national issues discussed at the hustings.

:28:57.:29:02.

The economy, the NHS, climate change for example, at what people were

:29:03.:29:06.

really concerned with was the future of the local hospitals, the local

:29:07.:29:11.

schools and especially the nuclear industry. This would be a boat

:29:12.:29:15.

people told me about Jeremy Corbyn, it will be a vote about Copeland.

:29:16.:29:21.

The by-election results may well be seized upon by the winners as

:29:22.:29:25.

symptomatic of wider political trends, but if they insist on doing

:29:26.:29:29.

that they may well talk themselves into a place in the year's are the

bit. You have to earn them. It is cryptic. Clever, I like that. How

:34:46.:34:57.

clever have the FA Cup size been? We have two nonleague still remaining.

:34:58.:35:03.

Both remaining non league sides, are up against premier league teams,

:35:04.:35:06.

Sutton United will have to wait until Monday night

:35:07.:35:09.

But the other non-league side, Lincoln City, who are top

:35:10.:35:13.

of the national league, get things going this lunchtime.

:35:14.:35:15.

They take on Premier League Burnley, who are 81 places above them.

:35:16.:35:18.

Being underdogs hasn't hindered Lincoln so far though -

:35:19.:35:21.

they've already knocked out Championship sides

:35:22.:35:22.

We have said, going against Burnley it's probably a one in 100 chance.

:35:23.:35:27.

But for us to come through the one we have been on and get to the fifth

:35:28.:35:35.

round as a non league team is probably one in 10,000 chances

:35:36.:35:38.

so Lincoln has already had a bit of the FA Cup magic and for anyone

:35:39.:35:42.

who thinks the FA Cup is dead has not been in Lincoln

:35:43.:35:46.

One of the talking points has been whether top flight managers take the

:35:47.:36:05.

FA Cup seriously. Jose Mourinho says managers need to learn what the

:36:06.:36:10.

competition means to fans. Maybe we do not have as many English managers

:36:11.:36:15.

with that culture that we should. Maybe we foreign managers, not

:36:16.:36:21.

everybody studies and understands the culture of this country. I try

:36:22.:36:29.

always to go to it seriously. Unlike Wembley, I like the FA Cup so I have

:36:30.:36:33.

:40:49.:40:56.

Let's talk tipping. Some cruise liners are adding as much as ?90 for

:40:57.:41:09.

an eight-day trip. Unless you fill out a form to opt out. We talk to

:41:10.:41:18.

the travel editor who has been investigating this. First, let's see

:41:19.:41:23.

what people in Manchester had to say. I always check whether the

:41:24.:41:32.

waiter or waitress is go to get the money before I do it and I will

:41:33.:41:36.

either give more or not based on that. I do feel you are being forced

:41:37.:41:44.

to pay it. I pay it because it is embarrassing if you don't and I do

:41:45.:41:48.

not think it should be. If you are not receiving good service, I think

:41:49.:41:54.

you would feel put out. I am not bothered either way. If I feel like

:41:55.:42:00.

a need to tip, I just do. It does not bother me at all. Simon is here

:42:01.:42:07.

with us. There are rules, when it comes to holiday companies,

:42:08.:42:11.

outlining exactly what they are charging. Exactly. In travel, you

:42:12.:42:17.

should be able to pay what the company says it costs. Budget

:42:18.:42:23.

airlines are typical example, they like to add extras for assigned

:42:24.:42:29.

seats, check baggage is but all you want is the flying you have to be

:42:30.:42:35.

able to buy it at that price. The basic price. Yes. They cannot add on

:42:36.:42:41.

tax or other fees. This kind of charges are going, -- are they

:42:42.:42:49.

common on cruise? If you have not been on a cruise you would not know

:42:50.:42:56.

it but if you have, they are. Some cruises will actually add typically

:42:57.:43:02.

?10 per person per day to your on-board account unless you say I

:43:03.:43:07.

will not. I will reward people individually and that is OK and they

:43:08.:43:16.

make it clear. I have been looking at Norwegian Cruise lines and it is

:43:17.:43:21.

different. They say they have a fixed service charge. There is no

:43:22.:43:26.

indication that it is discretionary. I talk to a Norwegian Cruise line

:43:27.:43:32.

and they said if you do not want to pay it you feel out a form but it is

:43:33.:43:41.

skating on thin ice in terms of how optional it is an a lot of people

:43:42.:43:45.

would think they cannot escape it although, as I must say, they stress

:43:46.:43:51.

you can decline to pay it if you want to. People may or may not want

:43:52.:43:57.

to do that. They may have a sneaking suspicion that cruise liners are

:43:58.:44:02.

doing that is because they are keeping the wages low so they are

:44:03.:44:08.

using it as a way to get more money but your wages will stay the same.

:44:09.:44:16.

Do you know what I mean? All the analysis I have done of this

:44:17.:44:21.

industry suggests that effectively you are helping to pay the wage bill

:44:22.:44:26.

and they are assumed everybody will pay the mandatory amount and lots of

:44:27.:44:32.

US ships, and many are run by US companies, people will happily pay

:44:33.:44:38.

these charges upfront, you are tipping in advance for services you

:44:39.:44:42.

have not received which I think for a lot of British people it would be

:44:43.:44:48.

an odd thing to do. If you are thinking of adding some tips to my

:44:49.:44:52.

bill, please do not I will tip people individually. Just checking

:44:53.:44:56.

if I have anything with me, I'm sorry. I have really enjoyed it,

:44:57.:45:03.

thank you very much, can you split it? If you have any thoughts, about

:45:04.:45:12.

tipping, how it is done, if it is done in advance. Tell us your

:45:13.:45:17.

thoughts. You have your hairdresser, taxi driver, the outline grocery...

:45:18.:45:21.

The guest who comes into the studio. Here's Darren with a look

:45:22.:45:26.

at this morning's weather. You could take a holiday to the

:45:27.:45:35.

Caribbean or you could wait for that air to reach out shores, which is

:45:36.:45:38.

what will happen next week. We have fog this morning. Very grey and

:45:39.:45:46.

murky. A great picture across many parts of England and Wales. Further

:45:47.:45:51.

north we have more of a breeze, lifting any mist and fog. To the

:45:52.:45:55.

south of that across much of England and Wales, southern and central

:45:56.:45:59.

areas in particular, are very grey and misty start. Hill fog and

:46:00.:46:03.

coastal fog lingering through the morning. Further north we have this

:46:04.:46:07.

rain that is still affecting southern parts of Northern Ireland

:46:08.:46:11.

and moving across the Irish Sea. And some wet and windy weather in

:46:12.:46:14.

western Scotland. Eastern Scotland is more sheltered from the

:46:15.:46:20.

south-westerly winds. There may be sunshine. As the rain clears away

:46:21.:46:25.

from some parts of Ireland it should cheer up with some sunshine. Later

:46:26.:46:30.

in England and Wales some sunshine in the afternoon at a mile day. Up

:46:31.:46:34.

to 13 degrees in the south-east, possibly around the Murray serve as

:46:35.:46:39.

well. Rain towards the end of the day in northern England and north

:46:40.:46:42.

Wales. That will peter out further south. Wet and windy weather

:46:43.:46:46.

continuing in Scotland, especially in the west of the country. A few

:46:47.:46:52.

breaks across sheltered eastern areas, but generally temperatures

:46:53.:46:57.

staying at 6-7. In the Sunday and we start pretty cloudy. We will keep

:46:58.:47:03.

this moist westerly airflow. Around western parts of the UK expat cloud

:47:10.:47:16.

huge amounts. Can we -- temperatures similar to today. Then we trace the

:47:17.:47:21.

back from the Caribbean. It is coming over the Atlantic, picking up

:47:22.:47:29.

cloud. The warmer areas trapped between these weather fronts. Low

:47:30.:47:33.

pressure on into the north of the country on Monday. A lot of cloud

:47:34.:47:37.

around on Monday. Windy weather, especially to the east of the hills,

:47:38.:47:41.

but look at those temperatures. About nine degrees. We could be

:47:42.:47:47.

getting 15 or 16. Short and sharp bursts. Temperatures nearer to

:47:48.:47:57.

average. Spring isn't far away. I think I will have to get out into

:47:58.:48:00.

the garden this weekend. It looks lovely.

:48:01.:48:04.

What will you do, mow? Get rid of weeds!

:48:05.:48:05.

We'll be back with the headlines at 8am.

:48:06.:48:07.

Now it's time for Newswatch with Samira Ahmed.

:48:08.:48:16.

Hello and welcome to Newswatch with me, Samira Ahmed.

:48:17.:48:19.

Coming up: As more and more people use social media as their primary

:48:20.:48:23.

source of news, how well is BBC journalism doing in this new world?

:48:24.:48:28.

And were this week's reports about pensioners being better off

:48:29.:48:31.

than those of working age misleading and divisive?

:48:32.:48:38.

First, the ongoing tension between Donald Trump and the media

:48:39.:48:42.

broke out into open hostilities again this week at a news

:48:43.:48:45.

The BBC's Jon Sopel had this encounter with the president.

:48:46.:48:49.

On the travel ban would you accept that that was a good example

:48:50.:49:07.

Spiky exchanges of that kind seem likely to continue and we will no

:49:08.:49:20.

doubt be examining the BBC's relationship with the White House

:49:21.:49:22.

again soon, but for now let's leave it with a couple of comments posted

:49:23.:49:26.

But rather more felt like these viewers.

:49:27.:49:48.

And Penny Paisley agreed it was a victory on points

:49:49.:49:51.

The phenomenon of items on news bulletins being used to trail

:49:52.:50:03.

forthcoming BBC current affairs programmes has been noted many

:50:04.:50:06.

Does this practice simply make the most of the BBC's journalism

:50:07.:50:11.

across its output, or are these just plugs disguised as news?

:50:12.:50:16.

Tony Francis thought two examples also on the news at six at the start

:50:17.:50:19.

of this week fell into the latter category.

:50:20.:50:21.

On Monday the first headline was the fact that the prisons

:50:22.:50:24.

are in crisis and then the newsreader went on to say

:50:25.:50:32.

there was a Panorama programme later in the evening showing

:50:33.:50:34.

The second item on the BBC News at 6 o'clock was the fact that

:50:35.:50:40.

a supermarket has been keeping special offers open for months

:50:41.:50:43.

There was to be another BBC programme at 7:30pm to do

:50:44.:50:53.

Seems to me that the BBC is not reporting news at all,

:50:54.:51:00.

it is actually making its news, or trying to and at the same time

:51:01.:51:04.

simply a matter of promoting your own programmes.

:51:05.:51:06.

This is not what the news seems to me to be about.

:51:07.:51:12.

Monday saw a number of complaints about a story which featured

:51:13.:51:15.

across several bulletins and services, including

:51:16.:51:21.

the News At One, introduced here by Sophie Raworth.

:51:22.:51:25.

Pensioners are on average better off than those of working age

:51:26.:51:28.

for the first time according to new research by the think tank

:51:29.:51:31.

It says a new wave of pensioners are more likely than previous

:51:32.:51:35.

generations to own their own home, have generous private pensions

:51:36.:51:38.

Not mentioned in the introduction, though it was in the report that

:51:39.:51:45.

followed, was that the calculation made by the Resolution Foundation

:51:46.:51:47.

was based on household income after housing costs such

:51:48.:51:50.

The BBC's own reality check on the news website said this

:51:51.:51:55.

important factor had been mentioned little in the coverage.

:51:56.:51:58.

It found that before housing costs are taken into account,

:51:59.:52:01.

working age households still have higher incomes.

:52:02.:52:05.

A number of older viewers felt that both the topline claim of the story,

:52:06.:52:09.

that pensioners are better off than workers, and the way

:52:10.:52:13.

that the statistics were reported, was unbalanced.

:52:14.:52:15.

Wynne Merrill has put it with some sarcasm in his e-mail.

:52:16.:52:20.

It appears that people at the end of their careers are better off

:52:21.:52:24.

The facts seems to suggest that those who have worked,

:52:25.:52:28.

paid off their mortgages, saved and paid into public

:52:29.:52:30.

and occupational pension schemes have greater resources than those

:52:31.:52:32.

Now, on Thursday the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told the BBC

:52:33.:52:45.

that fake news had damaged public debate, following criticism

:52:46.:52:47.

that his site had not done enough to prevent made up or distorted

:52:48.:52:52.

stories from appearing on its news feed.

:52:53.:52:55.

The BBC has an interest in Facebook's reputation

:52:56.:52:58.

as it is increasingly using it as a platform

:52:59.:53:00.

It's part of a strategy of embracing new, digital technologies and social

:53:01.:53:08.

media, a revolution in how the BBC reaches its audience.

:53:09.:53:10.

Once upon a time, BBC News had only two means of broadcasting,

:53:11.:53:14.

But now it is faced with a vast increasing number of ways

:53:15.:53:23.

There is Twitter, where the BBC's breaking news account has almost 30

:53:24.:53:30.

million followers, Instagram where more than 3 million people

:53:31.:53:33.

follow BBC News, and of course Facebook, where the corporation has

:53:34.:53:36.

the largest page of any news organisation in the world.

:53:37.:53:39.

In addition, it has started streaming some of it output

:53:40.:53:45.

via Facebook live, as well as other live streaming apps

:53:46.:53:48.

But has all this activity left some traditional licence fee paying

:53:49.:53:54.

Penelope Noel thinks so, e-mailing us to say: The focus

:53:55.:54:00.

on digital media discriminates against the very many people

:54:01.:54:02.

who are unable to afford or use digital devices.

:54:03.:54:07.

Stories like the investigation earlier this month into wildlife

:54:08.:54:09.

traffickers selling baby chimpanzees are now rolled out in carefully

:54:10.:54:19.

targeted ways to different digital destinations,

:54:20.:54:21.

attracting significant traffic on a variety of platforms.

:54:22.:54:23.

The benefit of this strategy for BBC News is obvious in capturing hard

:54:24.:54:26.

to reach, younger audiences where they are already

:54:27.:54:34.

spending their time online, but there are dangers as well.

:54:35.:54:36.

Facebook, for instance, has faced mounting criticism

:54:37.:54:38.

for publishing fake news, so how does the BBC avoid being seen

:54:39.:54:42.

as just another potentially unreliable news source?

:54:43.:54:43.

And does its presence on the site risk giving away its content

:54:44.:54:48.

without bringing people back to spend time on the BBC's core

:54:49.:54:51.

Let's explore those questions with the social media editor

:54:52.:54:54.

How important are social media platforms like Facebook to BBC

:54:55.:55:00.

One of the things we have to realise about Facebook is it controls

:55:01.:55:05.

and manages a huge proportion of the social web.

:55:06.:55:08.

Facebook owns Instagram, whatsApp, Facebook Messenger,

:55:09.:55:09.

there are 1.9 billion active users on Facebook.

:55:10.:55:18.

For the BBC not to be producing content and distributing it

:55:19.:55:21.

It would be a loss for our audiences that inhabit those spaces

:55:22.:55:33.

and want to explore more of our content and see and engage

:55:34.:55:37.

and enrich themselves with the information

:55:38.:55:38.

They don't pay a licence fee, certainly Facebook doesn't.

:55:39.:55:42.

What is the deal that the BBC has done with them for providing them

:55:43.:55:46.

Well, Facebook is an open platform and there is nothing to stop any

:55:47.:55:50.

publisher from producing content and distributing it

:55:51.:55:52.

We have an arrangement with Facebook in that we produce content for live

:55:53.:55:57.

Outside of that we are publishing regular content all the time

:55:58.:56:01.

onto Facebook, links to articles on the BBC News website,

:56:02.:56:04.

videos that we are producing across BBC News, and we will

:56:05.:56:07.

As we know, Facebook has this problem with fake news.

:56:08.:56:12.

One wonders if there is not just a danger that the BBC is just

:56:13.:56:16.

another provider on there and a lot of the audience do not notice

:56:17.:56:19.

They are just looking for the story and the BBC doesn't really get

:56:20.:56:25.

Well, I think this is all about our values and what is right

:56:26.:56:32.

We are not compromising anything in terms of BBC values,

:56:33.:56:47.

objectivity and impartiality by producing content and publishing

:56:48.:56:49.

Clearly, the content that we are producing and publishing

:56:50.:56:52.

into that space is alongside lots of other content.

:56:53.:56:54.

We cannot vouch for the authenticity, the voracity,

:56:55.:56:57.

of other people's content, but what we can do is search

:56:58.:57:00.

for our own and the more content that we produce into that space that

:57:01.:57:03.

people see, the more they will learn to understand and trust and value

:57:04.:57:07.

the BBC and see it relevant to their lives and the things that

:57:08.:57:10.

What we are learning all the time here is how to produce content

:57:11.:57:15.

in a valuable way for an audience on social media.

:57:16.:57:18.

And it isn't just a question of taking a television package

:57:19.:57:21.

and sticking it into a Facebook page.

:57:22.:57:23.

You have to think about how your audience will come to it,

:57:24.:57:26.

see it, engage with it, look to share it and so forth,

:57:27.:57:29.

so you are having to retailor, repurpose, reposition,

:57:30.:57:31.

think about the visuals, the impact, the text that you are putting

:57:32.:57:35.

at the top of the piece and so forth.

:57:36.:57:37.

But also we get a lot of complaints at Newswatch that BBC News has

:57:38.:57:41.

Is there a danger of trying to give social media what it wants,

:57:42.:57:46.

which might be a preoccupation with stories that really are not

:57:47.:57:49.

very serious and that is affecting the news content that is produced

:57:50.:57:52.

I think all the time the preoccupation that I have

:57:53.:57:56.

and the colleagues who work with me in social media at the BBC have,

:57:57.:58:00.

is giving our audiences things that are editorially valuable

:58:01.:58:02.

and interesting, but at the same time will be the kind of things

:58:03.:58:06.

we know that will interest them from a social media perspective.

:58:07.:58:09.

It is not about dumbing down or abandoning serious news values,

:58:10.:58:12.

it is about saying, we have got a really important story to tell

:58:13.:58:16.

you about Syria, we have got an important story

:58:17.:58:18.

about the American election, or whatever the story happens to be

:58:19.:58:27.

at any moment in time, and thinking how can we make that

:58:28.:58:30.

interesting for someone who might be coming to that story for the first

:58:31.:58:34.

time on a social media feed or platform?

:58:35.:58:36.

It can seem sometimes as though social media is not operating under

:58:37.:58:40.

the same editorial guidelines as the rest of the BBC.

:58:41.:58:42.

How far are their guidelines about how you write for social media

:58:43.:58:46.

similar to the traditional BBC News editorials?

:58:47.:58:47.

We have a lot of guidelines and we have a lot of editorial

:58:48.:58:51.

thought that has gone into them and we have very rigorous compliance

:58:52.:58:54.

To my mind social media is another form of broadcasting.

:58:55.:58:58.

It is not a marketing exercise, it is not an additional process

:58:59.:59:01.

that we join up onto the end of a television programme,

:59:02.:59:04.

We really want to reach and engage those audiences,

:59:05.:59:08.

we want to encourage them to explore more of the content

:59:09.:59:11.

that we are producing, but we need to take it seriously.

:59:12.:59:22.

Just as a television programme, if you were writing the script

:59:23.:59:25.

for the six o'clock News or the ten o'clock news,

:59:26.:59:27.

you would write the first draft, somebody else would look over it,

:59:28.:59:31.

there would be a process by which that script will then get

:59:32.:59:34.

Exactly the same processes take place with our social media writing.

:59:35.:59:39.

Thank you for all your comments this week.

:59:40.:59:44.

If you want to share your opinions on BBC News and current affairs,

:59:45.:59:48.

or even appear in the programme, you can call us.

:59:49.:59:52.

That is all from us, we will be back to hear your thoughts about BBC News

:59:53.:00:08.

coverage again next week. Goodbye.

:00:09.:00:52.

Hello this is Breakfast, with Rachel Burden and Charlie Stayt.

:00:53.:00:55.

The Prime Minister promises a new law to tackle domestic violence.

:00:56.:01:00.

Theresa May says there's a lack of clarity in the current system

:01:01.:01:03.

and that too many victims are being let down.

:01:04.:01:17.

Good morning, it's Saturday 18th February.

:01:18.:01:22.

Also ahead: A giant storm known as a weather bomb hits parts

:01:23.:01:28.

of California causing torrential rain and a trail of devastation.

:01:29.:01:32.

The US food giant Kraft says it won't give up as Unilever strongly

:01:33.:01:35.

rejects its multi-billion pound takeover bid.

:01:36.:01:39.

President Trump calls the media the "enemy of the American people"

:01:40.:01:42.

ahead of what's being described as a campaign rally he's

:01:43.:01:44.

We'll find out how they're preparing to take one of the last remaining

:01:45.:01:54.

strongholds of the so-called Islamic State.

:01:55.:01:58.

In sport: The Imps are hoping to cause another FA Cup shock.

:01:59.:02:01.

Having knocked out Ipswich and Brighton, non-league

:02:02.:02:04.

Lincoln City now have Premier League side Burnley in their sights.

:02:05.:02:07.

It is mild and misty especially across England and Wales. We should

:02:08.:02:19.

get some sunshine developing with the chance of rain across the north

:02:20.:02:24.

perhaps. It stays mild if rather cloudy on Sunday.

:02:25.:02:29.

Theresa May is launching a new law to combat domestic violence

:02:30.:02:39.

The Prime Minister says domestic abuse is a "life shattering

:02:40.:02:43.

abhorrent crime" and tackling it is a key priority

:02:44.:02:45.

Official figures suggest that every year more than a million women

:02:46.:02:49.

experience domestic abuse in England and Wales.

:02:50.:02:51.

Among men that figure stands at just over half a million.

:02:52.:02:55.

Last year 75,000 people were convicted of domestic abuse.

:02:56.:02:58.

That's the highest number ever recorded.

:02:59.:03:01.

There was also the highest ever conviction rate of 75% but some

:03:02.:03:05.

charities are concerned that too many victims remain

:03:06.:03:07.

Our political correspondent, Adam Fleming, is in Westminster

:03:08.:03:12.

Adam, Theresa May spent six years as Home Secretary so is this

:03:13.:03:33.

Downing Street say not at all. She introduced pieces of legislation

:03:34.:03:43.

giving people the right to find out if there partner had been convicted

:03:44.:03:46.

of domestic violence in a previous relationship, and making controlling

:03:47.:03:52.

your partner illegal. The problem she has identified as Prime Minister

:03:53.:03:56.

is domestic violence is not one crime in one bit of legislation, it

:03:57.:04:01.

is lots of different laws apply differently by different police

:04:02.:04:04.

forces which means if you are affected you will be treated

:04:05.:04:07.

differently depending where macula. The call has gone out to government

:04:08.:04:13.

departments, experts and campaigners to find out the solutions of this is

:04:14.:04:17.

the start of a process that will probably end with the new piece of

:04:18.:04:19.

legislation going in front of parliament in the future. The Prime

:04:20.:04:27.

Minister wants quick wins, easy and initiatives that can help people

:04:28.:04:31.

straightaway. She feels there is a big social aspect and that by

:04:32.:04:35.

talking about it and getting MPs and you and I talking about it that

:04:36.:04:39.

might help people who have been affected to have the confidence to

:04:40.:04:43.

come forward and reported to the police because the charities say it

:04:44.:04:46.

is not just the police, it is also victims having the confidence to

:04:47.:04:51.

come forward and report it. We will talk to one of those charities who

:04:52.:04:55.

support victims of domestic abuse the programme.

:04:56.:05:00.

California is being hit by what could be one

:05:01.:05:02.

The so called "weather bomb" has drenched the state,

:05:03.:05:06.

with reports of at least two people dead.

:05:07.:05:08.

In one neighbourhood in Los Angeles a sinkhole swallowed two cars.

:05:09.:05:10.

Earlier I spoke to Captain Erik Scott from the Los Angeles Fire

:05:11.:05:17.

Yes, sir, it's been a very busy day for Los Angeles firefighters.

:05:18.:05:24.

We've certainly seen a sharp increase in our emergency calls.

:05:25.:05:27.

This is largely due to the deluge of rain we've had.

:05:28.:05:29.

We've had sinkholes, swallowed up cars, people trapped

:05:30.:05:31.

where we had to perform swift water rescues,

:05:32.:05:33.

vehicles were overcome on the streets.

:05:34.:05:35.

In one incident in particular 15 people were stranded.

:05:36.:05:38.

We've had 150 down power lines over three to four hours.

:05:39.:05:44.

Some of which had deadly consequences.

:05:45.:05:47.

And very large trees which have been falling,

:05:48.:05:50.

so it's kept firefighters very very busy.

:05:51.:05:56.

This is a sequence of events caught on a live camera of a car slipping

:05:57.:06:01.

You mentioned that's been happening several times.

:06:02.:06:07.

That was a very unique and dangerous incident that happened in an area

:06:08.:06:12.

When firefighters arrived on scene we had a car that was upside down

:06:13.:06:21.

in a large dark sinkhole that was full of rushing water

:06:22.:06:24.

and we had a single occupant standing on top of that upside down

:06:25.:06:27.

Fortunately the firefighters jumped into action.

:06:28.:06:30.

They rapidly lowered a 20 foot extension ladder down to this female

:06:31.:06:35.

and let her climb out and transported her

:06:36.:06:37.

She told firefighters afterwards that she thought was going to die.

:06:38.:06:47.

That was Captain Scott from the US Fire Department bringing us

:06:48.:06:52.

up-to-date with the situation in California.

:06:53.:06:56.

President Donald Trump is preparing to address a rally of supporters

:06:57.:06:59.

in Florida at the end of an eventful week for the new US government.

:07:00.:07:02.

Yesterday, Mr Trump sought to focus on his promise

:07:03.:07:04.

to boost manufacturing jobs, but later resumed his criticism

:07:05.:07:07.

of the media, branding the industry as an "enemy of the American

:07:08.:07:09.

The President of the United States may have been in office

:07:10.:07:19.

for less than a month but it is clear this is a part

:07:20.:07:23.

of the job he enjoys, addressing an audience

:07:24.:07:25.

We love America and we are going to protect America.

:07:26.:07:33.

We love our workers and we are going to protect our workers.

:07:34.:07:36.

At a tour of Boeing in South Carolina,

:07:37.:07:39.

he reiterated one of his biggest campaign promises.

:07:40.:07:41.

Next stop, Florida, a place that supported him when he needed it

:07:42.:07:53.

most, for an event that some say is part of a strategy that will last

:07:54.:07:57.

It is unusual for a president to hold a rally like

:07:58.:08:01.

this so soon after inauguration but much

:08:02.:08:03.

of what Donald Trump has done so far has been unconventional,

:08:04.:08:07.

including a worsening relationship with the mainstream media.

:08:08.:08:09.

I'm not ranting and raving, I'm just telling you.

:08:10.:08:12.

Last night, Donald Trump expressed his displeasure

:08:13.:08:17.

in his favourite way with another critical tweet.

:08:18.:08:21.

Even journalists from organisations that have been on his side

:08:22.:08:23.

are not happy with this turn of events,

:08:24.:08:25.

particularly when it comes to Russia.

:08:26.:08:29.

Your opposition was hacked and the Russians were

:08:30.:08:33.

responsible for it and your people were

:08:34.:08:35.

on the phone with Russia on the same day

:08:36.:08:37.

it was happening, and we are fools for

:08:38.:08:39.

Donald Trump has a lot his plate, a vacancy for a national

:08:40.:08:48.

security adviser, falling approval ratings

:08:49.:08:50.

and accusations of chaos in his administration.

:08:51.:08:52.

He will be hoping that by going directly to voters,

:08:53.:08:55.

he can at least expect some warmth in the Sunshine State.

:08:56.:08:58.

The Anglo-Dutch company Unilever, which makes brands including

:08:59.:09:07.

Marmite and PG Tips, has rejected a ?115 billion takeover

:09:08.:09:09.

bid from the American food giant Kraft-Heinz.

:09:10.:09:13.

Unilever said there was no basis for further negotiations,

:09:14.:09:16.

but Kraft has said it will continue to work on a potential deal,

:09:17.:09:19.

which would make it the second biggest takeover

:09:20.:09:21.

Here's more from our business correspondent.

:09:22.:09:27.

Unilever makes some of the best known brands in anyone's kitchen,

:09:28.:09:34.

from Philadelphia cheese to not-everyone's favourite,

:09:35.:09:35.

Put those brands together with Kraft-Heinz and hardly

:09:36.:09:39.

a country on earth will not know their products.

:09:40.:09:42.

Kraft-Heinz is worth almost ?90 billion and includes some of these

:09:43.:09:46.

It has higher profit margins but a smaller

:09:47.:09:51.

presence in growing markets such as Asia.

:09:52.:09:53.

Unilever is worth around ?115 billion and owns these brands,

:09:54.:09:56.

which, although they enjoy lower profit margins,

:09:57.:09:58.

It also has 14 factories here including Norwich,

:09:59.:10:06.

Liverpool and Gloucester but after Kraft reneged on promises

:10:07.:10:10.

it made when it bought Cadbury seven years

:10:11.:10:13.

ago, some are calling for the government to intervene

:10:14.:10:15.

This is one of the practical consequences of the Brexit vote.

:10:16.:10:21.

The collpase of the pound, cheap assets, overseas companies

:10:22.:10:29.

moving in and taking over British assets cheaply

:10:30.:10:32.

potentially very much against the national interest.

:10:33.:10:36.

Unilever has rejected Kraft's first bid but it will not be the last.

:10:37.:10:39.

Expect shareholders, workers and politicians to also

:10:40.:10:41.

Police in Malaysia say they've arrested a North Korean man

:10:42.:10:47.

in connection with the death of Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother

:10:48.:10:50.

of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un.

:10:51.:10:52.

He died on Monday after apparently being poisoned

:10:53.:10:54.

The man is the fourth suspect to be detained.

:10:55.:11:01.

Iraqi forces are preparing to launch an offensive to drive Islamic State

:11:02.:11:04.

It's the last major urban area in the country that's still under

:11:05.:11:09.

From Mosul's southern front, our Middle East

:11:10.:11:13.

In towns and villages along the Tigris, and across the desert,

:11:14.:11:21.

they are readying for the attack on West Mosul.

:11:22.:11:30.

These are the men of Iraq's Emergency Response Division,

:11:31.:11:32.

It took 100 days to take the city's east.

:11:33.:11:44.

They've been rested and re-equipped, but the battle scars

:11:45.:11:46.

The west of Mosul will be a different battle.

:11:47.:11:54.

This mortar team is going through final weapons checks.

:11:55.:11:58.

The city's dense neighbourhoods mean great care will be needed

:11:59.:12:00.

Nearly three quarters of a million are still in the city.

:12:01.:12:10.

They'll be in the middle of this firepower.

:12:11.:12:17.

When these men were in the east they experienced

:12:18.:12:20.

So the question they are asking is, what does the Islamic

:12:21.:12:25.

How much weaponry and how many men, and how fiercely will IS fight

:12:26.:12:31.

British boots are on the ground, too.

:12:32.:12:40.

Major-General Rupert Jones is on a last-minute inspection

:12:41.:12:41.

They'll be supporting the Iraqi assault on Mosul.

:12:42.:12:48.

In terms of how long it will take, well, look, East Mosul

:12:49.:12:51.

West Mosul could be every bit as tough, so, you know,

:12:52.:12:55.

You don't retake towns and cities the size of Mosul,

:12:56.:12:59.

On the parade ground, Kurdish forces and the Defence Secretary

:13:00.:13:07.

bringing a reminder of why Britain is in this fight.

:13:08.:13:11.

We're picking up information all the time now,

:13:12.:13:13.

information about those foreign fighters,

:13:14.:13:15.

Information, too, about some of the attacks

:13:16.:13:20.

that have been planned in Western Europe.

:13:21.:13:25.

So this work is not simply freeing people in Mosul

:13:26.:13:28.

from having to live under this brutal regime.

:13:29.:13:33.

This won't be Iraq's last fight against IS,

:13:34.:13:35.

Quentin Sommerville, BBC News, on Mosul's southern front.

:13:36.:13:44.

Scunthorpe is a town known for its steel,

:13:45.:13:47.

Golden objects are being hidden around Scunthorpe today

:13:48.:13:53.

It's all part of an art project with clues to help people find

:13:54.:14:02.

the treasure hidden in paintings, which go on display this morning.

:14:03.:14:07.

You work out the close and find out where the gold is and if you find it

:14:08.:14:11.

you get to keep it. Pressure is growing

:14:12.:14:17.

on the government to reassess their proposals to update business

:14:18.:14:19.

rates after three former trade The new rates come into force

:14:20.:14:21.

in England on April 1st. Scotland and Wales will also see

:14:22.:14:26.

changes to their business Business rates are a bit

:14:27.:14:28.

like the commercial version of council tax, and are based

:14:29.:14:34.

on the rental value of the space It's the first time in seven years

:14:35.:14:37.

rates have been reviewed. Nearly three quarters of businesses

:14:38.:14:46.

will see a fall or no change but some businesses are facing

:14:47.:14:49.

a sharp rise in the rates they pay. Since properties were last valued

:14:50.:14:53.

in 2010, businesses have made more than a million challenges

:14:54.:14:56.

to the amount they're charged. It's the sheer number of these

:14:57.:14:59.

appeals the Government It's drafted proposals

:15:00.:15:01.

which include a clause to dismiss any appeals for incorrect valuations

:15:02.:15:11.

that are within the boundaries of That's proving controversial

:15:12.:15:15.

with many business groups. Craig Beaumont is from

:15:16.:15:18.

the Federation of Small Businesses, one of the business groups that

:15:19.:15:20.

signed a letter Businesses are up in arms around the

:15:21.:15:26.

country but we should point out that some people have done pretty well

:15:27.:15:32.

out of these changes. Yes. The government has tipped the playing

:15:33.:15:36.

field towards small businesses. A lot of small businesses have been

:15:37.:15:39.

taken out of this altogether which is something we pushed for, to look

:15:40.:15:45.

after the most vulnerable. They say them are not making any extra money

:15:46.:15:50.

out of this. Do you buy that? Not quite. Some new businesses are there

:15:51.:15:55.

and some have been expanded so there seems to be bit of extra tax --

:15:56.:16:02.

extra tax being taken. The important thing is what do they do if they

:16:03.:16:06.

think their bill is not right? It is not just a London story. London

:16:07.:16:11.

prices have risen dramatically in the last seven years. If a business

:16:12.:16:16.

thinks their bill is too high they should appeal. You mentioned about

:16:17.:16:24.

reasonable professional professional judgment, but they have to appeal

:16:25.:16:28.

and bring evidence together at the start of the process, which is

:16:29.:16:33.

really a administrative and burdensome. Even if they win their

:16:34.:16:37.

appeal, at the end of that process they could have been appeal

:16:38.:16:41.

dismissed because it is somehow within the boundaries of

:16:42.:16:44.

professional judgment and nobody knows what that means. If there is a

:16:45.:16:48.

disagreement over the valuation and that leads to the appeal process,

:16:49.:16:54.

what is the alternative? The current system is burdensome and

:16:55.:16:58.

problematic. You have cowboy ratings agencies. If you put yourself in the

:16:59.:17:02.

mind of a small business with a big bill you will get letters in saying

:17:03.:17:07.

we can help you negotiate, that is not right, we want to see action

:17:08.:17:11.

against those ratings agencies and there is action coming that will

:17:12.:17:15.

tighten up the rules. You should have your moment in court to make

:17:16.:17:19.

your case and question the stats behind the judgment by these

:17:20.:17:23.

officials. At the moment that is not there. Theatres of 15% difference,

:17:24.:17:29.

so your bill is a bit higher than you think, that could take you over

:17:30.:17:32.

the threshold to get the relief that you deserve, so that is not fair.

:17:33.:17:38.

For a small business owner that could make the difference of ?10,000

:17:39.:17:44.

or ?20,000. There are lots of these appeals going through at the moment

:17:45.:17:48.

and it is taking months if not years to get complaints resolved so they

:17:49.:17:51.

had to make the system more efficient. They had to take action

for getting rid of the backlog and it is reducing but it is not there

:18:01.:18:03.

are so there needs to be a new process but we think, at the same

:18:04.:18:09.

time as bills are rising, you are taking off the ability to appeal,

:18:10.:18:14.

which seems immoral. We are producing free guidance for all

:18:15.:18:18.

small businesses that will be on our website so any small business owners

:18:19.:18:23.

needing help can look on Google and find help. This government claims to

:18:24.:18:29.

be business friendly, possibly not corporate friendly, but in terms of

:18:30.:18:33.

small businesses, why are they allowing this situation to emerge?

:18:34.:18:39.

They need the money, ?24 billion from the property tax. It is an

:18:40.:18:44.

unfair tax. Your local High Street, a business property that has

:18:45.:18:48.

premises will be hurt by this tax and the bigger the premises below

:18:49.:18:54.

are the profit the tougher it is as against Amazon or other high-profile

:18:55.:19:01.

businesses who are not on the hide street. Looking at a tax system that

:19:02.:19:09.

will change the business community. Got a small villages and towns and

:19:10.:19:13.

you will see empty units on the High Street and one of the reason is the

:19:14.:19:19.

business rates system. Craig is from the Federation for small businesses.

:19:20.:19:26.

We have seen pictures of the extreme weather causing chaos in parts of

:19:27.:19:35.

California. It is called a Genesis. It is a tricky story for people

:19:36.:19:39.

living in California. What is this situation.

:19:40.:19:44.

It is the rainy season but what we have seen over the past few weeks

:19:45.:19:51.

and months is pretty extreme. Some southern parts of California have

:19:52.:19:54.

had two and a half times the normal rainfall in the last two months. It

:19:55.:19:57.

follows a extreme drought. We have had winds of 80 mph. It is

:19:58.:20:10.

the first time I have heard this Genesis term. Rapid cycle Genesis,

:20:11.:20:20.

essentially a deepening area of low pressure responsible for the winds

:20:21.:20:24.

and rain. Three or four inches of rain across some parts of

:20:25.:20:28.

California. That area of low pressure and the wetter weather is

:20:29.:20:31.

going to be pulling away in the next few hours or so but in the Pacific

:20:32.:20:39.

we have this conveyor belt of warm and wet air that continues to feed

:20:40.:20:42.

the system so we will see more wind and rain and maintenance no on

:20:43.:20:49.

Sunday and after that the wettest weather transfers further north

:20:50.:20:53.

towards Oregon. At home not a great deal of rain but across the southern

:20:54.:21:01.

half of the UK great and misty. -- grey. This is my favourite picture

:21:02.:21:09.

of the day so far. It is generally not as misty across the northern

:21:10.:21:13.

half of the UK because of the breeze. There is also rain moving

:21:14.:21:18.

slowly southwards. Still largely dry across England and Wales, grey and

:21:19.:21:23.

misty, some hail and coastal fog which will linger through the

:21:24.:21:31.

morning. Still some rain around across southern parts of Northern

:21:32.:21:35.

Ireland. Wetter weather with stronger winds across western parts

:21:36.:21:39.

of Scotland. Eastern Scotland more sheltered from this wind direction.

:21:40.:21:44.

Largely dry with some sunshine. As the rain clears to parts of Northern

:21:45.:21:48.

Ireland we should get some sun sign. Slowly up across England and Wales.

:21:49.:22:02.

Mild for all of us. A little bit of rain and drizzle across the north of

:22:03.:22:07.

England and North Wales. That will be to rout as it heads southwards.

:22:08.:22:13.

Windy weather across Scotland. Particularly in the west. Cloudy

:22:14.:22:21.

tonight, and a grey start, not of much mist and fog, but western areas

:22:22.:22:26.

will stay cloudy with drizzle around the hills and coasts. East Wales

:22:27.:22:35.

should see some sunshine. Temperatures similar to today. Some

:22:36.:22:44.

rain in the north-west later. The air is coming from the Caribbean.

:22:45.:22:48.

Across the Atlantic towards the UK with mild air capped between these

:22:49.:22:51.

weather fronts there will be rain on Monday and it will be windy. These

:22:52.:23:02.

temperatures are real, possibly even 16 degrees, crazy for this time of

:23:03.:23:04.

years. Some people are going to have a

:23:05.:23:14.

really nice day on Monday. I fear we are going to get caught in the rain.

:23:15.:23:23.

The Prime Minister says victims of domestic violence are being "let

:23:24.:23:25.

down by the legal system" and is promising to increase

:23:26.:23:28.

convictions for what she describes as a "life shattering

:23:29.:23:30.

Theresa May has announced new laws as part of a Domestic Violence

:23:31.:23:34.

and Abuse Act, which it's hoped will raise awareness and lead

:23:35.:23:37.

Let's talk now to Diana Barran, from the charity Safe Lives,

:23:38.:23:44.

who joins us from our London newsroom.

:23:45.:23:44.

Talk us through these new laws and what kind of a difference they might

:23:45.:23:50.

make. We don't have a lot of detail yet. What the Prime Minister has

:23:51.:23:57.

said as she wants to simplify the current legislation which is in many

:23:58.:24:01.

different acts and has contributed to a really inconsistent response

:24:02.:24:08.

across the country, but also we need to think, and we hope very much that

:24:09.:24:13.

a new law will address, the needs of those victims and children who do

:24:14.:24:18.

not report to the police, so about 80% of people who experienced

:24:19.:24:22.

domestic abuse do not report to the police, so we need to get the

:24:23.:24:25.

criminal justice bit right but we also need to respond to those who

:24:26.:24:30.

for whatever reason do not get involved in the criminal justice

:24:31.:24:34.

system. We know the number of prosecutions and convictions is

:24:35.:24:38.

going up which presumably you would applaud but much of this is still

:24:39.:24:45.

under recorded, why? There is a great stigma still associated with

:24:46.:24:49.

domestic abuse and for many people there is also either confusion about

:24:50.:24:58.

what support they might or might not get or sadly experience of not

:24:59.:25:02.

getting a very good response. We really need to make sure that this

:25:03.:25:06.

legislation leads to victims and children getting the right help at

:25:07.:25:12.

the right time in the right place. We know one area that these new laws

:25:13.:25:18.

may look at is the offence of controlling and coercive behaviour,

:25:19.:25:21.

psychological abuse. How important is it that is addressed? That is

:25:22.:25:29.

important but domestic abuse is almost always a combination of

:25:30.:25:34.

different forms of violence and abuse, physical violence, sexual

:25:35.:25:39.

abuse, psychological abuse is a massive part, but also financial

:25:40.:25:42.

abuse. We need to treat people as human beings and respond to the

:25:43.:25:47.

whole picture of what is going on for them and for their children, and

:25:48.:25:53.

we must have great services for victims and children, but currently

:25:54.:26:00.

one of the key problems is that only about 1% of perpetrators of domestic

:26:01.:26:06.

abuse are getting any kind of sanction or behaviour change problem

:26:07.:26:10.

and while 99% are returning home to their partner or are finding a new

:26:11.:26:16.

partner we are never going to end this problem. We are talking

:26:17.:26:20.

majority women but also a significant number of men. In terms

:26:21.:26:23.

of returning home to their partner to reason me says this is a subject

:26:24.:26:28.

close to half heart, but this government has overseen the closure

:26:29.:26:32.

of huge numbers of refugees for women and vulnerable individuals. Is

:26:33.:26:41.

that something she has to have a look at? The opportunity with our

:26:42.:26:45.

site is to look at the whole picture and over the last few years we have

:26:46.:26:51.

had a number of piecemeal bits of legislation and different

:26:52.:26:56.

initiatives and cuts, and we have to be sure that women and children have

:26:57.:27:05.

choices. A refuge is an essential provision for someone but the vast

:27:06.:27:08.

majority want to be able to live safe in their home. I hope we will

:27:09.:27:16.

be saying, why does she not leave -- driveable or not be saying why do

:27:17.:27:22.

she not leave. If it was happening to you or IB would hope we could

:27:23.:27:24.

stay safe in our home. You're watching

:27:25.:27:30.

Breakfast from BBC News. It's time now for a look

:27:31.:27:32.

at the newspapers. Jon Tonge, a Political Lecturer

:27:33.:27:40.

at the University of Liverpool is here to tell us what's

:27:41.:27:43.

caught their eye. Where are we kicking off? The

:27:44.:27:50.

fallout from the Tony Blair Brexit speech. It was heavily criticised

:27:51.:28:00.

from a whole range of areas. Not just the usual suspects. The picture

:28:01.:28:10.

of him wiping his finger. Yes, Tony Blair speaks from the Eurostar VIP

:28:11.:28:15.

lounge according to the guardian. The problem with this speech was not

:28:16.:28:20.

so much he was wrong to make it, the debate is not necessarily over, the

:28:21.:28:25.

1975 referendum did not necessarily solve the debate, but he was very

:28:26.:28:30.

imprecise over exactly what it was proposing. He talked about people

:28:31.:28:35.

rising up against this, but does he he want a second referendum because

:28:36.:28:41.

he did not like the first result, or on the terms of the deal, does he

:28:42.:28:49.

want the Labour Party to go against the result? It has muddied the

:28:50.:28:57.

messages for Labour in what is any super Thursday looming best week in

:28:58.:29:00.

terms of the stalk and Copeland by-elections. A lot of leave voters

:29:01.:29:11.

in both of those constituencies. It plays into the narrative that

:29:12.:29:14.

politicians know best what is good for you and you did not know what

:29:15.:29:17.

was going on and that is why you voted for Brexit. Yes. Tony Blair

:29:18.:29:23.

operating as if it was when he was at the height of his powers when he

:29:24.:29:29.

was enjoying huge electoral landslides, solving problems from

:29:30.:29:35.

Northern Ireland to Kosovo. He is operating under reduced

:29:36.:29:37.

circumstances, probably damaged goods since the Iraq war and his

:29:38.:29:42.

influence is not what it was. Having said that, he is still box office.

:29:43.:29:47.

The coverage shows he still matters. Where next? The bloodbath on the

:29:48.:29:55.

High Street. The Daily Mail, a Tory supporter, very critical of

:29:56.:30:00.

government policy on business rates. A business rates revaluation. The

:30:01.:30:03.

government would point out the majority of businesses will pay you

:30:04.:30:07.

less but a number they are going to the wall as a consequence of a

:30:08.:30:12.

revaluation which leads to a business rates rise. Traditional

:30:13.:30:16.

Conservative supporting papers like the Daily Mail and the Daily

:30:17.:30:19.

Telegraph are very critical of what has been proposed. The difficulty

:30:20.:30:23.

for the government is what to do about business rates. You could

:30:24.:30:27.

scrap them and have a new system based on business profits, which

:30:28.:30:31.

makes sense and may protect the High Street, but dangers in scrapping the

:30:32.:30:39.

system. Remember Margaret Thatcher and the poll tax? The Conservatives

:30:40.:30:44.

have to be careful if they go for scrapping business rates and it is

:30:45.:30:46.

not on their immediate agenda. Taxes come in all shapes and forms,

:30:47.:30:56.

don't they? Liverpool City Council say if you shop a dog owner whose

:30:57.:31:01.

pet dog fouls the pavement, you can have a year free of paying your

:31:02.:31:06.

council tax. This leads to all sorts of possibilities, how many people

:31:07.:31:10.

would shop their neighbours to win the prize, which is valuable. You

:31:11.:31:15.

pay more than ?1000 normally in council tax in Liverpool and how do

:31:16.:31:18.

you know that people were staged such an event, take the photograph,

:31:19.:31:23.

to try and claim a prize? Talk us through that one! How would it work?

:31:24.:31:31.

Get a friend to walk the dog, get them to file the pavement, and share

:31:32.:31:35.

the winnings! There could be problems with the administrations of

:31:36.:31:42.

this scheme... -- foul. You are so devious! But, it is an attractive

:31:43.:31:45.

idea in terms of raising headlines about the problem of dog mess. The

:31:46.:31:50.

council leader in Liverpool says that he is sick of Liverpool

:31:51.:31:53.

pavement smelling of dog mess. It is a problem. You will come back in one

:31:54.:31:58.

hour's time. And talk to us some more. We will see you there. Now,

:31:59.:32:00.

the headlines in just a moment. Hello, this is Breakfast with

Rachel Burden and Charlie Stayt. Coming up before nine -

:32:34.:32:36.

Darren will have your weather, but first a summary of this

:32:37.:32:39.

morning's main news: Theresa May is introducing a new law

to combat domestic violence The Prime Minister says victims

:32:45.:32:47.

of domestic violence are being "let down by the legal system"

:33:34.:33:40.

that was upside down in a large and dark sinkhole which was full of

:33:41.:33:43.

rushing water. What we had was a single occupant standing on top of

:33:44.:33:49.

the upside down car, about ten feet below the street. Fortunately,

:33:50.:33:53.

firefighters jumped into action and rapidly lowered a ten foot extension

:33:54.:33:56.

ladder down to the female and led her to climb out and transported her

:33:57.:34:02.

to a local hospital. She told firefighters afterwards that she

thought she would die. President Trump is preparing

Lord Tebbit, Sir Vince Cable and Dame Margaret Beckett

:34:34.:34:35.

all voiced their concerns over the new system which comes

of their evidence at the start of the process, which is really admin

:35:04.:35:06.

is to tip and burdensome. That is the start. Even if they win their

:35:07.:35:11.

repeal, they could have it dismissed because somehow it is within the

:35:12.:35:15.

boundaries of professional judgment, and nobody knows what that means --

even if Unilever - which makes brands

the little guys against the big guys? Unprecedented, we've had two

:35:57.:36:05.

non-league sides in this round. No league side has gone further

:36:06.:36:08.

since QPR, I know that they are Richard Keen chip club, but in 1914

:36:09.:36:13.

there were a non-league sign and they got through! -- Eynon

championship club. Both remaining non league sides,

:36:19.:36:23.

are up against Premier League Sutton United will have to wait

:36:24.:36:29.

until Monday night for their match with Arsenal...

:36:30.:36:32.

But the other non-league side, Lincoln City, who are top

:36:33.:36:34.

of the national league, They take on Premier League Burnley,

:36:35.:36:36.

who are 81 places above them. Being underdogs hasn't hindered

:36:37.:36:40.

Lincoln so far though - they've already knocked out

:36:41.:36:42.

Championship sides We have said, going against Burnley

:36:43.:36:44.

it's probably a one in 100 chance. We've only beaten them

:36:45.:36:49.

once in 100 games. But for us to come through the one

:36:50.:36:56.

we have been on and get to the fifth round as a non league team

:36:57.:37:00.

is probably one in 10,000 chances so Lincoln has already had a bit

:37:01.:37:03.

of the FA Cup magic and for anyone who thinks the FA Cup is dead

:37:04.:37:07.

has not been in Lincoln One of the big talking points this

:37:08.:37:10.

season has been whether top flight managers are taking the FA

:37:11.:37:14.

Cup seriously. Tomorrow Manchester United play

Blackburn Rovers at Ewood park, and their manager Jose Mourinho says

:37:17.:37:22.

that foreign managers need to learn Maybe we do not have as many English

:37:23.:37:33.

managers as we should? Maybe we, foreign managers, not everybody

:37:34.:37:41.

studies and understands the culture of this country. The trial is to go

:37:42.:37:49.

serious. I like Wembley and the FA Cup, so I have to try and get to the

:37:50.:37:51.

second round. No Dan Walker on the sofa today

:41:22.:41:27.

he did a trek to the South Pole with Prince Harry, they changed their

:41:28.:41:28.

minds! We've heard about the FA Cup,

:41:29.:41:31.

well it's the last weekend to enter There are many different categories

:41:32.:41:35.

including walking football - a sport which has got tens

:41:36.:41:38.

of thousands of people active again, like Jan Milner, who's sporting

:41:39.:41:41.

ambitions was reawakened five years Well, not just Charlie,

:41:42.:41:43.

but when we ran a feature on the first walking football club

:41:44.:41:58.

at Bury, now there are has formed a team in Doncaster,

:41:59.:42:00.

of over 60-year-olds playing I was in a dark place, I was not

:42:01.:42:10.

good. I have many memories. But sometimes they are not enough, you

:42:11.:42:14.

know? And what has happened, we create new memories here. One of the

:42:15.:42:18.

that you do not doing walking football is wrong, I was booked

:42:19.:42:26.

there! You can see what happened when I joined Jan at half past nine.

:42:27.:42:31.

And you can go to the website to get involved. You have until tomorrow

:42:32.:42:33.

night. Thank you. Cooperative Bank customers have

:42:34.:42:35.

been told the company The bank has over four million

:42:36.:42:37.

customers including 1.4 million people with current accounts

:42:38.:42:41.

and 225,000 people with mortgages. The bank had nearly 300

:42:42.:42:43.

UK branches in 2013, but now there are just

:42:44.:42:46.

over 100 left. It reported a loss of more

:42:47.:42:47.

than ?600m for 2015 and it's already said it expects to have made

:42:48.:42:51.

a significant loss in 2016 as well. Paul Lewis from Money Boxes with us

:42:52.:43:12.

now. Firstly, anyone who has an account or mortgage, what is their

:43:13.:43:18.

situation? Well, the situation is as it was one week ago. I think, if I

:43:19.:43:23.

was one of them, I am not, but if I was I would hold tight and see what

:43:24.:43:25.

happens. The bank is for sale anything bad will happen in the

:43:26.:43:31.

immediate future, but it could be sold as a horse in bits. Your

:43:32.:43:36.

account and your mortgage would move to another bank. But, that would not

:43:37.:43:39.

in itself be a disaster. Even if the worst possible thing

:43:40.:43:56.

happened, there is no suggestion of this, the bank, or indeed any bank,

:43:57.:43:59.

did go out of business completely, then your savings are protected up

:44:00.:44:01.

to ?85,000, and I'm told almost no one has that much in the

:44:02.:44:04.

co-operative bank. And your mortgage and current account would be moved

:44:05.:44:06.

somewhere else. There is no need for customers to panic that has you

:44:07.:44:09.

hinted, it is still in a bit of a mess. Yes, a bank in a mess, who

:44:10.:44:14.

would want to buy it? We do not know, people I've been speaking to

:44:15.:44:17.

have said it probably would not be bought as a

:44:18.:44:24.

-- bought as a whole. But Cooperative Bank may be able to

:44:25.:44:31.

carry on. It's been able to do so because the regulator, the Bank of

:44:32.:44:35.

England, has said it can take five years to sort itself out. That would

:44:36.:44:39.

take us up to 2018, and as you said, it is expected to make another loss,

:44:40.:44:44.

the fifth consecutive year that it has lost money. The Bank of England

:44:45.:44:48.

could well say, have a bit longer to sort yourself out. It may not even

:44:49.:44:53.

be sold. As I said, if it is? Customers will still have their

:44:54.:44:58.

accounts and savings are protected, and their mortgages. The there. It

:44:59.:45:02.

is a worrying time, of course the key thing is their ethical policy --

:45:03.:45:09.

their mortgages will still be there. If it is sold, that could go and if

:45:10.:45:14.

it is broken up, that could go. Yes, did that make them unique in the

:45:15.:45:19.

marketplace? If people were attracted to them for that reason,

:45:20.:45:25.

are there other banks with a similar ethos? Not really, a lot of their

:45:26.:45:29.

customers are there because of it, surveys have shown that. It will not

:45:30.:45:35.

let anyone involved in the arms trade or genetic testing or what it

:45:36.:45:39.

calls sweatshop labour have an account with the bank and will not

:45:40.:45:42.

invest money in those kinds of organisations. So, it is pretty

:45:43.:45:47.

unique, well, completely unique, in terms of the high street bank. I

:45:48.:45:51.

think that people would find it difficult to find an alternative for

:45:52.:45:55.

day-to-day banking, if Cooperative Bank disappeared. That is why the

:45:56.:46:00.

bank tells me it is so central to their success and millions of

:46:01.:46:03.

customers that it does have, that any future buyer would be foolish to

:46:04.:46:07.

get rid of it. Of course, a future buyer who owned the whole thing

:46:08.:46:11.

could get rid of it if they wanted, it depends what the motivation for

:46:12.:46:15.

buying it is. We will leave it there for now, thank you. More on that

:46:16.:46:23.

story on Money Box on radio for later today.

:46:24.:46:26.

Here's Darren with a look at this morning's weather.

:46:27.:46:29.

It's quite one? It is not the kind of weather for jumping out of bed

:46:30.:46:35.

and heading outside quickly this morning.

:46:36.:46:37.

We have if you weather watcher pictures to begin with. It

:46:38.:46:42.

highlights this grey and misty start. This was taken in East

:46:43.:46:47.

Sussex, affecting the southern half of the UK primarily, most of England

:46:48.:46:51.

and Wales, Cambridgeshire and a hint of something brighter to come. A lot

:46:52.:46:55.

of club to come, some missed until fall, but it should brighten in the

:46:56.:47:00.

south of the UK. Further north, a stronger wind. Not as misty or

:47:01.:47:05.

foggy, rain about, moving slowly southwards. By the afternoon, it

:47:06.:47:10.

will be much brighter across England and Wales, some sunshine coming

:47:11.:47:21.

through, mild, about 13 degrees is possible, north-west England is

:47:22.:47:23.

going to Sebring and Tristan at times, especially late in the

:47:24.:47:27.

afternoon, that in eastern Scotland, there is another dose of ring --

:47:28.:47:31.

going to see some rain at times. It's the FA Cup fifth round later.

:47:32.:47:40.

It will be pretty mild, temperatures on the high side for this time of

:47:41.:47:44.

year. Some rain comes into northern England and Northern Wales during

:47:45.:47:49.

the evening. It peters out, wet and windy weather comes back into

:47:50.:47:53.

western Scotland and breaks for eastern Scotland. On the whole,

:47:54.:47:57.

cloudy skies with temperatures at about six or 7 degrees. But a

:47:58.:48:03.

particular cold start, it is their westerly breeze, bringing in moist

:48:04.:48:10.

air. A lot of cloud, the best chance of sunshine is eastern areas,

:48:11.:48:14.

eastern Scotland and some parts of Wales. 11 or 12 degrees today, rain

:48:15.:48:21.

nudges into the far north-west later today. Where is the air coming from?

:48:22.:48:26.

It comes all the way from the Caribbean. We won't get the

:48:27.:48:30.

Caribbean sunshine, but we will get some milder air. It will be trapped

:48:31.:48:33.

between these weather fronts on Monday. Bumpy over the east of high

:48:34.:48:41.

ground, some cloud about, but if we have sunshine in eastern areas, we

:48:42.:48:46.

could get temperatures in the mid teens but only briefly. Back to you

:48:47.:48:47.

two. Thank you. You have to do something

:48:48.:48:52.

with the weather but I've noticed the numbers are coming down, you

:48:53.:48:57.

were promising 15 an hour ago! It was 17, but there is some

:48:58.:49:04.

uncertainty as to how warm it will be at the sunshine, it could be that

:49:05.:49:08.

we are cloudy but it is muggy air, warmer air for this time of year.

:49:09.:49:13.

Maximum temperatures of eight or 9 degrees commit you cannot complain

:49:14.:49:16.

really! And I thought you promised away your shorts -- I thought you

:49:17.:49:22.

promised to wear your shorts! I've got changed now!

:49:23.:49:26.

Scunthorpe is a place known for its steel,

:49:27.:49:27.

but from today it will get to experience a gold rush.

:49:28.:49:30.

Shiny - and valuable - objects are being hidden around

:49:31.:49:32.

the town today for the public to find and keep.

:49:33.:49:35.

It's all part of an art project - with clues hidden in paintings

:49:36.:49:38.

Our Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson went

:49:39.:49:41.

Scunthorpe. Not the most obvious place for a gold rush, but today,

:49:42.:50:02.

these five objects, each worth at least ?2500, will be hidden around

:50:03.:50:06.

the town and it is finders keepers! It sounds great but I don't think

:50:07.:50:12.

I'll be taking part... Why not? No, no... ?2500? Some kids can find

:50:13.:50:21.

them. How good are went hunting for things? Very good! What would you it

:50:22.:50:29.

on? On quite a fancy date! This is the idea of this artist. I liked the

:50:30.:50:34.

idea of participation and providing people with a new way of thinking,

:50:35.:50:39.

and this artwork, with all of these layers, have content and stories to

:50:40.:50:44.

tell, and should inspire the public. Luke Jerram enlisted a code maker

:50:45.:50:49.

from GCHQ to create five puzzles, which have been turned into

:50:50.:50:53.

paintings. Each answer will reveal the location of an object. We are

:50:54.:50:57.

not allowed to haul you -- show you the whole of any of the paintings in

:50:58.:51:02.

focus, in case treasure hunters work out the code in advance. At 10am

:51:03.:51:07.

this morning, anyone who would like ago will be allowed into the 2021

:51:08.:51:11.

Visual Arts Centre to try and break the codes. We've had interest from

:51:12.:51:18.

people on Twitter from miles away, and apparently there are treasure

:51:19.:51:21.

hunters from across the world who fly in to solve puzzles like this.

:51:22.:51:26.

This is footage of one of the objects being hidden, we are told

:51:27.:51:29.

none of them have been buried in case treasure hunters begin to

:51:30.:51:39.

demolish local parks. The 518 carat models are models of artefacts from

:51:40.:51:44.

the towns museum. This is 200 million years old... Really? I like

:51:45.:51:48.

the idea of objects that have been found in the area, coming to the

:51:49.:51:52.

museum, copied and hidden for people to find. So there are new versions

:51:53.:51:57.

for people to look for. Part of it makes me think of monopoly! It is

:51:58.:52:02.

like the worlds poshest Monopoly set! Organisers expect at least one

:52:03.:52:05.

treasure to be found today, but believe hardest puzzle could take

:52:06.:52:10.

years to solve. Scunthorpe, once known for steel, now it is all about

:52:11.:52:13.

gold! Colin Paterson, BBC News. They are pretty little things, and

:52:14.:52:23.

valuable! And that line from Colin, the world's poshest Monopoly set! If

:52:24.:52:27.

I found them, I would not play Monopoly!

:52:28.:52:30.

If you want to join in the treasure hunt, the five paintings featuring

:52:31.:52:35.

clues will be displayed at Scunthorpe's 2021

:52:36.:52:37.

Visual Arts Centre from today until the 29th of April.

:52:38.:52:40.

Scottish singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald is no

:52:41.:52:41.

stranger to chart success - aged just 29 she's already released

:52:42.:52:44.

four albums and sold millions of records worldwide.

:52:45.:52:49.

But the This Is The Life singer says despite all that she doesn't

:52:50.:52:53.

consider herself a celebrity and loves the fact that she is still

:52:54.:52:56.

able to walk down the street without being recognised.

:52:57.:53:03.

Do you really not get recognised anywhere? Yeah, it is brilliant,

:53:04.:53:09.

even countries where I've had a lot of success and a lot of support, I

:53:10.:53:13.

can still go shopping and nobody even twigs! Presumably, if you are

:53:14.:53:22.

in a city doing a day, there must be times people recognise you? Not

:53:23.:53:25.

really, once in the Netherlands I was performing at a big festival,

:53:26.:53:29.

and was meant to be picked up at the Hotel and I got a bit lost and found

:53:30.:53:33.

myself wandering amongst the crowd and not one person even looked

:53:34.:53:35.

twice! Going to your own gay? Yes! -- going to your own gig? Yes, I was

:53:36.:53:50.

among the crowd and nobody noticed! Let's have a look at the song that

:53:51.:53:54.

made you famous... # The people they were dancing

:53:55.:53:58.

# To the music vibe # And the boys kiss the girls with

:53:59.:54:03.

the Coles and their hair # And the songs they get louder each

:54:04.:54:08.

one better than before # And you are singing the songs

:54:09.:54:13.

thinking this is the life # Where you going to sleep tonight?

:54:14.:54:20.

# And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life

:54:21.:54:24.

# And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

:54:25.:54:33.

# Where you going to sleep tonight? You were very honestly reflecting on

:54:34.:54:37.

how different you looked then to now? Yes, a chubby teenager! I did

:54:38.:54:42.

not say that! That's one of the problems with your business, you

:54:43.:54:47.

grow up, albeit you do not like the celebrity thing, there is evidence

:54:48.:54:51.

of that? Yes, evidence of terrible outfits and dodgy haircuts that you

:54:52.:54:55.

can never escape! We have dragged up pictures from ten years ago! Awful!

:54:56.:55:00.

Health and fitness is a big part of your life now, isn't it? When I got

:55:01.:55:06.

into touring, I began to make sure that I kept myself fit and healthy.

:55:07.:55:11.

I realised it has made a massive difference to my voice and I feel

:55:12.:55:14.

like I can sing a bit more. It is so physically draining. After these

:55:15.:55:22.

massive tours as well? Yes, crazy, after months on end, on stage

:55:23.:55:25.

belting it out, and with my new album, it is the same. I've written

:55:26.:55:31.

an album full of big songs which require a lot of energy to perform,

:55:32.:55:34.

I do not know why not written a really slow one yet! Be single from

:55:35.:55:46.

the album is called Dream On. # I'm on top of the world and I'm on

:55:47.:55:49.

the right track # I'm on top of the world and I

:55:50.:55:56.

won't look back # I'm on top of the world

:55:57.:56:00.

and I won't look back # The time is now, I'm on top of the

:56:01.:56:10.

world and I'm on the right track # I'm on the top of the world and I

:56:11.:56:23.

won't look back. Talk about weight loss, that's quite extreme! I was on

:56:24.:56:27.

a diet for weeks! What is the thinking behind the tiny thing, it

:56:28.:56:32.

looks fantastic! It was something a bit different, I find when you try

:56:33.:56:37.

to come up with ideas for videos, you get sent a lot of scripts, and a

:56:38.:56:43.

lot of the time they are the same. Nothing is that different all the

:56:44.:56:46.

same, but that stuck out, and I thought it sounded cool. I did the

:56:47.:56:50.

whole green screen thing and I felt like I was a character in Lord of

:56:51.:56:53.

the rings or something! Pretending I was climbing up and downstairs. It

:56:54.:56:58.

was nice to do something different to what I've done before. You are a

:56:59.:57:02.

solo artist, and you've always written your own songs but you say

:57:03.:57:07.

this is more of a collaborative process? Yes, with the album, I

:57:08.:57:12.

wrote a view of the songs with my bandmates, and it was a natural

:57:13.:57:16.

progression. With my bass player, Jimmy, news been with me from day

:57:17.:57:21.

one. I've known him 11 years. -- he has been with me from day one. You

:57:22.:57:25.

begin to jam and come up with things during a sound check. Jimmy and I

:57:26.:57:30.

have written about 100 songs but they are all joke songs. The classic

:57:31.:57:36.

one that we sing all the time, "I'm eating my feelings!" I don't think

:57:37.:57:42.

it will get onto the album... Now you said it, everyone will want to

:57:43.:57:48.

hear it! We decided to sit down and try to write something properly. It

:57:49.:57:53.

was really difficult at first. It is strange putting your ideas out

:57:54.:57:57.

there. But when we got into the swing of things, it clicked. I wrote

:57:58.:58:01.

a good few songs and was pleased with the outcome. Anybody who knows

:58:02.:58:05.

you know is that you do a very brilliant Bruce Springsteen cover in

:58:06.:58:10.

your own style. And you got to meet him as well? Was it one of those

:58:11.:58:13.

moments where you pinch yourself and go, life is pretty good! It was a

:58:14.:58:18.

crazy moment, I did not expect to see him. I was performing in Hyde

:58:19.:58:25.

Park in London, he was a headliner. I went back to my dressing room and

:58:26.:58:29.

from quite far-away I've thought, that looks like Bruce Springsteen...

:58:30.:58:34.

But he's on his own, there is nobody with him, no entourage or security.

:58:35.:58:38.

Then, I realised it was him and said hello, and he was happy to chat

:58:39.:58:45.

away. I mentioned Bob who has mixed a few of my albums, he worked

:58:46.:58:51.

closely with Bruce Springsteen, as soon as I mentioned his name, it was

:58:52.:58:56.

like a magic password and I was in the circle! And we stood and chatted

:58:57.:59:03.

and he was lovely. Really, really an amazing man and an incredible

:59:04.:59:07.

performer. Will you be doing live stuff in the UK? Yes, I'm on tour, I

:59:08.:59:11.

start the tour in Europe at the beginning of March which takes me

:59:12.:59:14.

right through until April when I will be back in the UK, performing

:59:15.:59:19.

at the Royal Albert Hall in and on. Which is the one I'm really excited

:59:20.:59:25.

to do -- in London. And you are getting married this year? Not this

:59:26.:59:29.

year, I don't have time! When it happens, it will be a last minute...

:59:30.:59:33.

A quick one! And we are loving your shoes! Can we see? They are

:59:34.:59:38.

fantastic. Wherever I go, people talk about my shoes, it has become

:59:39.:59:41.

my thing! Thank you so much for coming in.

:59:42.:59:44.

Theresa May is launching a new law to combat domestic violence

:02:12.:02:16.

The Prime Minister says domestic abuse is a "life shattering

:02:17.:02:21.

abhorrent crime" and tackling it is a key priority

:02:22.:02:23.

Official figures suggest that every year more than a million women

:02:24.:02:29.

experience domestic abuse in England and Wales.

:02:30.:02:34.

Among men that figure stands at just over half a million.

:02:35.:02:36.

Last year 75,000 people were convicted of domestic abuse.

:02:37.:02:39.

That's the highest number ever recorded.

:02:40.:02:44.

There was also the highest ever conviction rate of 75% but some

:02:45.:02:47.

charities are concerned that too many victims remain

:02:48.:02:49.

Our political correspondent, Adam Fleming, is in Westminster

:02:50.:02:54.

Adam, Theresa May spent six years as Home Secretary.

:02:55.:03:02.

What is the purpose of these new laws or the consultation? Theresa

:03:03.:03:18.

May introduced several pieces of legislation when she was Home

:03:19.:03:21.

Secretary but as Prime Minister she is taking the view of the whole of

:03:22.:03:25.

the government needs to look at the whole of this area and look at a

:03:26.:03:36.

whole range. Survivors of domestic abuse, how different police forces

:03:37.:03:39.

in different parts of England and Wales approach it and what laws

:03:40.:03:43.

govern what is illegal and what is not. Tightening them up, clarifying

:03:44.:03:48.

what domestic abuse is, which will probably come needed a big piece of

:03:49.:03:52.

legislation which will be put before Parliament in the near future. The

:03:53.:03:58.

scale of some of the challenges were set out by a campaigner for a

:03:59.:04:07.

domestic abuse charity. We must have great services for victims and

:04:08.:04:10.

children but currently one of the key problems is that only about 1%

:04:11.:04:15.

of perpetrators of domestic abuse are getting any kind of sanction or

:04:16.:04:21.

behaviour change problem and while 99% are returning home to their

:04:22.:04:25.

partner or are finding a new partner we are never going to end this

:04:26.:04:31.

problem. One of the other thing Minister is Minister is doing is the

:04:32.:04:34.

social aspect. She feels that by raising the and giving this issue,

:04:35.:04:43.

getting it as a big item high on hard agenda, perhaps victims will

:04:44.:04:46.

have more confidence to come forward. She is calling for the

:04:47.:04:53.

government to look for quick wins, initiatives that can help people

:04:54.:04:54.

now. California is being hit

by what could be one The so called "weather bomb"

Erik Scott from the Los Yes, sir, it's been a very busy day

for Los Angeles firefighters. We've certainly seen a sharp

:05:14.:05:17.

increase in our emergency calls. This is largely due

:05:18.:05:20.

to the deluge of rain we've had. We've had sinkholes,

:05:21.:05:23.

swallowed up cars, people trapped where we had to perform

:05:24.:05:25.

swift water rescues, vehicles were overcome

:05:26.:05:29.

on the streets. In one incident in particular 15

:05:30.:05:32.

people were stranded. We've had 150 down power lines over

:05:33.:05:37.

three to four hours. Some of which had

:05:38.:05:42.

deadly consequences. And very large trees

:05:43.:05:45.

which have been falling, This is a sequence of events caught

happening several times. That was a very unique and dangerous

:05:57.:06:03.

incident that happened in an area When firefighters arrived on scene

:06:04.:06:09.

we had a car that was upside down in a large dark sinkhole

:06:10.:06:14.

that was full of rushing water and we had a single occupant

:06:15.:06:18.

standing on top of that upside down Fortunately the firefighters

:06:19.:06:22.

jumped into action. They rapidly lowered a 20 foot

and transported her She told firefighters afterwards

that she thought was going to die. President Donald Trump is preparing

:06:35.:07:03.

to address a rally of supporters in Florida at the end of an eventful

:07:04.:07:06.

week for the new US government. Yesterday, Mr Trump sought

:07:07.:07:09.

to focus on his promise to boost manufacturing jobs,

:07:10.:07:11.

but later resumed his criticism of the media, branding the industry

:07:12.:07:13.

as an "enemy of the American The President of the United States

is part of a strategy that will last It is unusual for a president

to hold a rally like this so soon after

inauguration but much of what Donald Trump has done so far

:07:54.:07:57.

has been unconventional, including a worsening relationship

:07:58.:07:59.

with the mainstream media. I'm not ranting and raving,

:08:00.:08:01.

I'm just telling you. Last night, Donald Trump

:08:02.:08:03.

expressed his displeasure in his favourite way

:08:04.:08:08.

with another critical tweet. Even journalists from organisations

:08:09.:08:10.

that have been on his side are not happy with

:08:11.:08:13.

this turn of events, particularly when it

:08:14.:08:15.

comes to Russia. Your opposition was hacked

:08:16.:08:18.

and the Russians were responsible for it

:08:19.:08:21.

and your people were on the phone with

:12:41.:12:41.

week in US politics, President Trump is heading back

:12:42.:12:52.

to familiar territory as he prepares It is being billed as a "campaign

:12:53.:12:54.

event" just 29 days Jan Halper-Hayes, who is a member

:12:55.:12:58.

of President Trump's transition team, joins us now

:12:59.:13:05.

from our London newsroom. Concentrating on recent events, the

:13:06.:13:15.

event Mr Trump held at the Boeing factory. This was safe territory, he

:13:16.:13:22.

was talking about jobs, this was one of his issues during the election

:13:23.:13:25.

campaign, America first, American jobs. Yes. Tell us more about that

:13:26.:13:32.

message and hope even that is to what he is trying to achieve. The

:13:33.:13:39.

thing is that during the Obama administration they find out that

:13:40.:13:42.

even though I were employment numbers went down what was created

:13:43.:13:47.

was the contract workforce because of bat here so people were having to

:13:48.:13:51.

have to back off the contract workforce because of bat here so

:13:52.:13:53.

people were having to have to magazine that jobs -- having to have

:13:54.:14:01.

two or three jobs. There is going to be a heavy tax ringing back in and

:14:02.:14:08.

that has made several companies, forward, and others, decide that

:14:09.:14:13.

they are going to build the plants and create the jobs in the United

:14:14.:14:20.

States. He chose Boeing as the location but looking back, people

:14:21.:14:23.

like clear messages, that is one of the reasons he won the election, but

:14:24.:14:27.

if you look back during the campaign trail he said... Boeing is building

:14:28.:14:35.

a brand-new 747 year force jet, he said the costs were out of control

:14:36.:14:39.

and he said cancel the Boeing order and he said this plane is totally

:14:40.:14:43.

out of control and Boeing is doing a number. Did you know that Boeing

:14:44.:14:49.

came back with a $600,000 reduction on it? That is one of the reasons he

:14:50.:14:56.

went to Boeing. Because he threatened and they responded? Yes.

:14:57.:15:02.

We can see he threatened, he basically expressed an opinion which

:15:03.:15:06.

many of us taxpayers, because it is our money, feel. It is $500 screws,

:15:07.:15:17.

$1500 toilet seats. The defence department, what they spend, is

:15:18.:15:21.

absolutely ridiculous. It was great that that happened. The rally he is

:15:22.:15:28.

attending later today in Florida, why is he holding an election rally

:15:29.:15:34.

29 days after being inaugurated? I am not sure that... I know the

:15:35.:15:40.

campaign staff is doing it so that is why they are calling it a

:15:41.:15:44.

campaign event because they have to distinguish legally between who

:15:45.:15:49.

arranges these things. I think it is because he has decided that he is

:15:50.:15:53.

fed up with what he calls the fake news or the ferry fake news and he

:15:54.:15:58.

wants to take his message back to the people and I think he is right.

:15:59.:16:05.

The fake news thing is absolutely compelling and the media has been

:16:06.:16:09.

dragged into this row which is ongoing. The fake news then, help me

:16:10.:16:15.

with some of the problem speed will have with this, because in his press

:16:16.:16:22.

conference two days ago he was claiming specifically that his

:16:23.:16:28.

victory was the biggest win since Ronald Reagan, which was factually

:16:29.:16:33.

incorrect. When challenged, his answer was, I was just given that

:16:34.:16:40.

information, I don't know. Yes. Everyone has seized upon that. He

:16:41.:16:45.

does tend, and perhaps he needs to think about this, to be flippant

:16:46.:16:49.

about those things. Everything is huge, everything is great. Let's try

:16:50.:16:57.

to understand this fake news. The story with Flynn is that he did not

:16:58.:17:07.

tell Vice President all of the information in his conversations

:17:08.:17:10.

with the Russians. Then when asked he said, well, I can't quite

:17:11.:17:17.

remember everything we talked about. It was a violation of trust. That

:17:18.:17:23.

was the reason that they asked for his resignation. It has come out

:17:24.:17:27.

from coming the FBI they have found that he has done nothing wrong. It

:17:28.:17:34.

was all so that the intelligence services really wanted to go after

:17:35.:17:39.

Flynn. Instead of making it all about Russia it would have been

:17:40.:17:43.

really good to be able to talk about what was going on behind the scenes

:17:44.:17:52.

and why Flynn had decided not to tell the truth, but also how he was

:17:53.:17:55.

running his own intelligence operation out of the White House and

:17:56.:18:00.

the intelligence services felt threatened by it. That is far more

:18:01.:18:05.

interesting. One of the things people draw attention to is that

:18:06.:18:12.

when there is a question asked of Mr Trump, for example the question

:18:13.:18:17.

about what he knew when, which is a perfectly legitimate question, the

:18:18.:18:22.

press would routinely ask that of a political leader, the response is

:18:23.:18:25.

always an aggressive response along the lines of, this is part of what

:18:26.:18:31.

the media is trying to do, instead of literally just answering simple

:18:32.:18:35.

questions in terms of timelines. That ends up with this war of words

:18:36.:18:39.

when no one is answering any questions. Let me speak personally

:18:40.:18:46.

because from your perspective or the media perspective, I do not mean to

:18:47.:18:51.

single you out, in your mind you are asking a question, I can tell you

:18:52.:18:57.

that I have got to the point where I have said, especially on radio, if

:18:58.:19:01.

you are just going to stay negative like this I am going to hang up. I

:19:02.:19:09.

have walked out of a TV studio because the negativity that we get

:19:10.:19:14.

bombarded with really grates on as. It is too much. There is not a

:19:15.:19:21.

balance of positive things. He has accomplished more in the first four

:19:22.:19:25.

weeks than most presidents have at least in my lifetime. Some people

:19:26.:19:31.

watching maybe have sympathy with what you're saying and maybe not.

:19:32.:19:36.

Some things do not matter much. If he has a spat with an individual you

:19:37.:19:45.

can see it doesn't matter but consistency matters, world affairs.

:19:46.:19:49.

Over Nato, during the campaign trail, Trump said he would not feel

:19:50.:19:54.

bound by the article, which says an attack on one is an attack on all.

:19:55.:19:59.

He said he would not feel bound by that. In amongst a lot of other

:20:00.:20:07.

things about needle. Today we have Mike pence saying US strongly

:20:08.:20:12.

supports Nato, the US will be unwavering in its support from other

:20:13.:20:17.

members of Nato. Are you going to accuse me of being negative for

:20:18.:20:21.

drawing attention to something which appears to be completely at all that

:20:22.:20:24.

was what he said during the campaign trail? No. I understand how you

:20:25.:20:31.

would make that conclusion. People from the very beginning have taken

:20:32.:20:37.

him literally or have taken him what he says isolated instead of

:20:38.:20:41.

seriously connecting things. You would have also read that it was

:20:42.:20:46.

made clear at the Nato meeting that if people do not pay their fair

:20:47.:20:53.

share the US is not going to support Nato in the same way any more. That

:20:54.:20:58.

was his biggest thing, he felt it was obsolete, and Donald Rumsfeld

:20:59.:21:06.

had said that during the Bush era. There are 27 nations that do not

:21:07.:21:12.

contribute anything. Britain, the US, Germany, are carrying the whole

:21:13.:21:16.

thing. That is what he is fed up with because it goes with his

:21:17.:21:19.

America first. There is something else about him as a leader that

:21:20.:21:25.

follows. He has picked people who do not agree with him. People might

:21:26.:21:32.

find that very confusing, how could madness, when he is confirmed and

:21:33.:21:36.

has been picked by Donald Trump, say our commitment to needle is

:21:37.:21:44.

unshakeable? He does not want yes men or women, people who totally

:21:45.:21:51.

agree with him. My final thought, it is opinion from you, people hearing

:21:52.:21:59.

about these rosy having with the media, a lot of will think it sounds

:22:00.:22:06.

insular, an elitist argument, the president arguing with the big

:22:07.:22:09.

networks, or carers? Do you think Trump is able to step away from us?

:22:10.:22:16.

This morning, his latest tweet is that the media are the enemy of the

:22:17.:22:21.

American people. Are we going to get to a point, it is on the 29 days

:22:22.:22:26.

then, when we can move on? Him as well as the media he is accusing of

:22:27.:22:33.

this. He has an enormous amount of support for what he is doing and a

:22:34.:22:40.

lot of people agree with him. The media in the US is extremely liberal

:22:41.:22:50.

and yes Hillary Clinton won the so-called popular vote but if you

:22:51.:22:53.

think about how things are spread out we have 3141... Sorry, that was

:22:54.:23:00.

not the question. You're talking about the election again. Can we

:23:01.:23:07.

move on? His dealings, what gets talked about. I can try to make my

:23:08.:23:12.

point better. You want to move on from it. His supporters agree with

:23:13.:23:20.

the points he is making. I do not think he is necessarily going to

:23:21.:23:23.

move on the way other people want him to. I caution people, stop

:23:24.:23:30.

putting a mould or expectation, because Donald Trump is not going to

:23:31.:23:34.

meet them. Until you accept Donald Trump for how he behaves, how he

:23:35.:23:38.

deals with things, only then will you begin to understand him and not

:23:39.:23:41.

be so bothered by it. We have been hearing about the

:23:42.:24:00.

extreme weather in California, a weather bomb.

:24:01.:24:06.

You had never heard of it. This is a new term. We have gone

:24:07.:24:14.

from long-term drought into sudden floods. It is the wet season but

:24:15.:24:18.

there has been more vain than you would expect and snow in the

:24:19.:24:25.

mountains, 80 mph winds. Because of this, a weather bomb, a rapidly

:24:26.:24:29.

deepening area of low pressure, this was the cloud from it. This cloud in

:24:30.:24:37.

the last 24 hours or so has brought three or four inches of rain across

:24:38.:24:40.

parts of California. The worst of the wind and rain has been across

:24:41.:24:46.

air which will run in off of the Pacific. The wetter weather towards

sunshine. Ritzy mist the and grey. Further north, not as misty, the

wind is stronger. There is this area of rain moving slowly southwards

away from Northern Ireland into north-west England and Wales and

:25:29.:25:31.

some or wet and windy weather arriving in the north-west of

Scotland later. East of Scotland much more sheltered from the

south-westerly winds and should be drier and brighter. 13 degrees

:25:38.:25:44.

possible in Aberdeenshire. A little sunshine for Northern Ireland in the

afternoon. Especially north-west England and North Wales, away from

for northern England and North Wales this evening which will fade out as

it goes southwards. A few breaks in the cloud in eastern Scotland.

:26:20.:26:26.

Generally cloudy. Not too cold. Temperatures six or 7 degrees. Not

:26:27.:26:31.

as much mist and fog. Towards the west we will have some drizzle

:26:32.:26:36.

around the hills and coasts. Further east will be drier and brighter. The

air is coming from the Caribbean. We will not be getting the Caribbean

:26:45.:26:52.

sunshine but in between mild air across the UK. That is going to be

:26:53.:26:56.

windy. There will be some rain in the north and west but if we get

some sunshine 15 maybe 16 degrees, chiefly, early next week.

Teasing us with the prospect of warmer weather.

:27:09.:27:16.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:27:17.:27:18.

It's time now for a look at the newspapers.

:27:19.:27:20.

Jon Tonge, a Political Lecturer at the University of Liverpool

:27:21.:27:22.

is here to tell us what's caught their eye.

:27:23.:27:25.

We were talking about politics moment ago and interest in Trump and

:27:26.:27:34.

Brexit, your university has a huge increase in applications to study

:27:35.:27:37.

politics. Politics departments around the country are reporting a

:27:38.:27:43.

huge increase in applications, which is the silver lining, students want

:27:44.:27:47.

to know more about what is happening. Politics departments have

:27:48.:27:53.

never been busier. Great for businesses. You want to talk about

:27:54.:27:57.

house prices. The story in the Times says that sellers are struggling to

:27:58.:28:02.

shift their houses, taking up to a year in some parts of the country to

:28:03.:28:07.

get rid of houses. 15 years ago we had the highest level of home

:28:08.:28:11.

ownership anywhere in Europe. We are below the European average. House

:28:12.:28:16.

ownership is going out of fashion, people cannot sell houses and we

:28:17.:28:20.

have people returning to negative equity where your mortgage is worth

:28:21.:28:25.

more than your house as people discount their houses to try to get

:28:26.:28:29.

rid of them. How governments can address it is open to question. This

:28:30.:28:34.

varies depending where you are in the country. People thought it was a

:28:35.:28:38.

London problem because there was stamp duty on expensive properties

:28:39.:28:43.

concentrated in London but reports suggest that house sellers are

:28:44.:28:47.

discounting by 20% across the country so it is no longer

:28:48.:28:50.

London-based because people cannot afford to get on the housing market.

:28:51.:28:56.

Homeownership is barely above 50%. We soon might get to the position

:28:57.:29:03.

where it is a minority position. This does not personally affect you,

:29:04.:29:07.

but you still take an interest in the FA Cup. It has been in decline

:29:08.:29:22.

since 1903 since Bury last won it! It is good to see Jose Mourinho

:29:23.:29:26.

saying that we should show the competition respect, it is the

:29:27.:29:31.

oldest competition. There are things you could do to improve it, I would

:29:32.:29:37.

like to see a Champions League place for the winner, although that is not

:29:38.:29:41.

going to happen. People would field stronger teams. You could scrap

:29:42.:29:47.

replays and semi-finals at Wembley. Something needs to be done because

:29:48.:29:51.

we are at risk of losing what was or was precious. The average fan still

:29:52.:29:56.

loves it. Big clubs, huge academies, holding players who do not get a run

:29:57.:30:01.

out, one of the criticisms about the development of the English game is

:30:02.:30:05.

young players do not get the chance. At least in the FA Cup they are

:30:06.:30:11.

getting games. You can argue you can bring youngsters into the Premier

:30:12.:30:14.

League and play them there, there is nothing to stop you doing that, you

:30:15.:30:19.

do not have to have 11 changes from the previous week, it devalues the

:30:20.:30:25.

competition. Nobody is saying it will go back to its former glory but

:30:26.:30:27.

it is time for action. There will be a change in the ?1

:30:28.:30:37.

coin? Yes, we will have a 12 sided Pound coin from the 28th of March,

:30:38.:30:41.

you only have until October to raid your piggy banks to get rid of your

:30:42.:30:48.

pound coins, because after that they will be different currency. Act

:30:49.:30:52.

quickly! Royal Mint say they are bringing it in because nearly 3% of

:30:53.:30:59.

current ?1 coins are fake, this new pound coin will be the most secure

:31:00.:31:07.

currency in the world. Thank you. That's us done, thank you, good to

:31:08.:31:13.

see you this morning. We are on BBC One until 10am this morning when

:31:14.:31:17.

Michael roux Junior takes over in the Saturday Kitchen.

:31:18.:31:26.

Good morning, Charles and Rachel! Our special guest is taking a rest

:31:27.:31:31.

from all of the drama in East Enders, it's Diane Parish. And you

:31:32.:31:34.

are here to face your food heaven and hell? My heaven is Scarlets!

:31:35.:31:42.

Suite, we like them! Sweet, juicy and delicious. -- scallops. What is

:31:43.:31:48.

your food hell? I do not like oysters, I do not trust them! You

:31:49.:31:53.

are in good hands here, we have two good chefs with us today... What is

:31:54.:31:58.

on your menu? I'm going to do a calamari with mayonnaise, and then

:31:59.:32:08.

pork stuffed with ham, roast peppers, and that's all. Fried.

:32:09.:32:16.

Making you feel hungry already! And Luca, what are you cooking on your

:32:17.:32:22.

debut? A twist on steak and chips, cooked on the bone with pickled

:32:23.:32:27.

walnuts, celeriac and blue cheese! Pickled walnuts! See you at 10am!

:32:28.:32:35.

That all sounds lovely, headlines in a moment...

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Rachel Burden and Charlie Stayt.

:33:08.:33:14.

Coming up before ten, Darren will have your weather.

:33:15.:33:16.

But first, a summary of this morning's main news.

:33:17.:33:18.

Theresa May is introducing a new law to combat domestic violence

:33:19.:33:21.

The Prime Minister says victims of domestic violence are being "let

:33:22.:33:27.

down by the legal system" in England and Wales.

:33:28.:33:30.

She wants to increase convictions for what she describes as a "life

:33:31.:33:33.

Earlier on Breakfast, a domestic violence campaigner told us

:33:34.:33:39.

the Government has a lot of work to do.

:33:40.:33:45.

We must have great services for victims and children, but currently,

:33:46.:33:53.

one of the key problems is only about 1% of perpetrators of domestic

:33:54.:34:01.

abuse are getting any kind of sanction or behaviour change

:34:02.:34:05.

problem, and 99% are returning home to their partners or finding a new

:34:06.:34:08.

partner, and we are never again to end this problem. -- never going to

:34:09.:34:14.

end this problem. California is being hit

a sinkhole swallowed two cars. Captain Erik Scott is from

the Los Angeles Fire Department. It was a very unique and dangerous

:34:28.:34:29.

incident which happened in an area We had a car that was upside

:34:30.:34:32.

down in a large and dark sinkhole which was

:34:33.:34:36.

full of rushing water. What we had was a single

occupant standing on top of the upside down car,

:34:40.:34:42.

afterwards that she Three former trade secretaries have

in seven years. Speaking to the Telegraph,

:35:11.:35:12.

Lord Tebbit, Sir Vince Cable and Dame Margaret Beckett

:35:13.:35:14.

all voiced their concerns over the new system which comes

:35:15.:35:16.

into force in England The government claims most

:35:17.:35:18.

employers' groups are condemning changes to the rates appeals

process. They have to pay a fee,

:35:25.:35:28.

first, to appeal. The second, they need to bring

:35:29.:35:30.

all of their evidence at the start of the process,

:35:31.:35:35.

which is really administrative Even if they win their appeal,

:35:36.:35:37.

they could have it dismissed because somehow it is within

:35:38.:35:45.

the boundaries of professional judgment, and nobody

:35:46.:35:47.

knows what that means. Unilever - which makes brands

:35:48.:35:49.

including Marmite and PG Tips, takeover bid from the

:35:50.:36:03.

American food giant Unilever said there was no basis

:36:04.:36:06.

for further negotiations, but Kraft has said it will continue

:36:07.:36:10.

to work on a potential deal, which would make it the second

:36:11.:36:13.

biggest takeover in corporate Those are the main

:36:14.:36:15.

stories this morning. A big day of FA Cup action today?

:36:16.:36:20.

Yes, Michelle Bushell! I like Michelle! I'm sure that you shall

roux Junior's cuisine is far superior! It's the fifth round now,

:36:30.:36:36.

the chance to reach the last date, never before have we had two

:36:37.:36:40.

non-league sides at this stage of the competition because a lot of the

:36:41.:36:47.

teams are resting players like Leeds, they got a lot of stick for

:36:48.:36:49.

resting their players. Not since QPR in 1914,

:36:50.:36:52.

has a non league side reached the last eight of the FA

:36:53.:36:57.

Cup, even though of course Rangers are now a championship club...but

:36:58.:37:01.

non league Sutton or Lincoln could emulate that

:37:02.:37:04.

feat this weekened. Sutton on Monday against Arsenal at

:37:05.:37:11.

home and this lunchtime, non-league Lincoln City get things going,

:37:12.:37:13.

when they take on Premier League Burnley, who are

:37:14.:37:16.

81 places above them. Being underdogs hasn't hindered

:37:17.:37:18.

Lincoln so far though - they've already knocked out

:37:19.:37:20.

Championship sides We have said, going against Burnley

:37:21.:37:21.

it's probably a one in 100 chance. But for us to come through the one

:37:22.:37:30.

we have been on and get to the fifth round as a non league team

:37:31.:37:37.

is probably one in 10,000 chances so Lincoln has already had a bit

:37:38.:37:40.

of the FA Cup magic and for anyone who thinks the FA Cup is dead

:37:41.:37:44.

has not been in Lincoln One of the big talking points this

:37:45.:37:46.

season has been whether top flight managers are taking the FA

:37:47.:37:52.

Cup seriously. Tomorrow Manchester United play

:37:53.:37:54.

Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, and their manager Jose Mourinho says

:37:55.:38:05.

that foreign managers need to learn Expect Manchester United to take it

:38:06.:38:08.

seriously... Burnley/Lincoln City

:38:09.:38:16.

is the lunchtime kick off, if we are looking for other upsets -

:38:17.:38:26.

well Manchester City, could rest players for their away

:38:27.:38:28.

tie against Huddersfield - City play in the Champions

:38:29.:38:36.

League on Tuesday. Middlesbrough are at home to last

:38:37.:38:41.

round giant killers Oxford United, Millwall face Premier League

:38:42.:38:44.

champions Leicester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome

:38:45.:38:45.

Chelsea in the late kick off...and a reminder that in Scotland today,

:38:46.:38:47.

the runaway leaders Celtic can extend their lead back to 27 points

:38:48.:38:50.

with victory over Motherwell...they could potentially win the title

:38:51.:38:53.

as early as next weekend. It is also the semifinals of the

:38:54.:38:57.

Irn-Bru cup, Queen of the South against Dundee United.

:38:58.:39:00.

Watford have announced they're commissioning a statue of former

:39:01.:39:02.

The memorial will be put at the club's ground,

:39:03.:39:05.

with the blessing of Taylor's family.

:39:06.:39:06.

There will also be a pre-season fixture at Vicarage Road,

:39:07.:39:09.

in honour of their most successful manager, who died last month.

:39:10.:39:12.

Onto rugby union, and Saracens missed the chance to return

:39:13.:39:15.

to the top of the Premiership - losing 31-23 at Gloucester.

:39:16.:39:19.

The defending champions suffered their second defeat in a week,

:39:20.:39:25.

in the west country - with Welsh forward Richard Hibbard,

:39:26.:39:28.

bundling over for the crucial try, just five minutes from time.

:39:29.:39:35.

Leinster have gone top of the Pro 12 - earning a bonus point

:39:36.:39:39.

for the six tries they ran in during their 39-10

:39:40.:39:41.

Scarlets remain fourth, after thrashing bottom

:39:42.:39:44.

Josh Strauss has become the second player in a week to be

:39:45.:39:47.

ruled out of the rest of Scotland's Six Nations campaign.

:39:48.:39:50.

The number eight suffered a kidney injury in their defeat to France,

:39:51.:39:53.

and it's been confirmed he'll take no further part in the competition.

:39:54.:39:56.

On Wednesday it was announced that captain Greg Laidlaw's Six Nations

:39:57.:39:58.

Leeds won for the first time this season as they came

:39:59.:40:09.

from behind to beat, Leigh Centurions 17-14.

:40:10.:40:11.

The promoted club went into an early 8-0 lead...

:40:12.:40:13.

But that was wiped out quickly as Leeds ran in three quick tries,

:40:14.:40:16.

including this one from Ryan Hall, on their way to that

:40:17.:40:19.

Elsewhere, the best British clubs take on the top

:40:20.:40:29.

Tomorrow, Superleague champions Wigan take on NRL

:40:30.:40:34.

winners, Cronulla Sharks. While this evening Warrington

:40:35.:40:36.

Warrington were runners-up in both the Challenge Cup final

:40:37.:40:40.

Brisbane are led by England head coach Wayne Bennett,

:40:41.:40:45.

and his opposite number knows it's a rare opportunity

:40:46.:40:47.

to test their skills, against some of the best

:40:48.:40:49.

You do not get the chance to come up against the Australians very often

:40:50.:40:57.

Once upon a time your club would come up against the touring

:40:58.:41:02.

So it is an opportunity for us and great experience for our players

:41:03.:41:07.

to be exposed to one of the great teams in recent

:41:08.:41:10.

In the Welsh Open snooker, Judd Trump edged out

:41:11.:41:21.

There was an historic win at Sandown, as for the first time

:41:22.:41:24.

Captain Guy Disney, who rides with a prosthetic leg,

:41:25.:41:29.

and he steered Rathlin Rose to an emotional success

:41:30.:41:31.

He lost his lower right leg, after being injured when his vehicle

:41:32.:41:35.

was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, while he was serving

:41:36.:41:38.

He's the only amputee to be granted a riders' licence,

:41:39.:41:41.

by the British Horse Racing Authority.

:41:42.:41:43.

They took some convincing, but when he did a trek

:41:44.:41:45.

to the South Pole with Prince Harry, they changed their

:41:46.:41:47.

It's a brilliant story. It is amazing. It opens the gates for

:41:48.:41:56.

others to follow in his footsteps. Speaking of footsteps... At a

:41:57.:42:02.

walking pace! The patter of tiny Mike footsteps! We are talking

:42:03.:42:08.

walking football! Five years ago on BBC Breakfast,

we featured the beginnings of Walking football,

:42:21.:42:22.

her team take a giant step towards Wembley,

:42:23.:42:25.

this month, in the FA People's Cup. There was a time when all Jan Milner

:42:26.:42:30.

had left were her dreams, memories of playing football,

:42:31.:42:33.

three decades ago. DREAM COMMENTATOR: What a save

:42:34.:42:37.

from the goal keeper, But injuries took her

:42:38.:42:39.

sporting opportunities away and led to her being lonely,

:42:40.:42:45.

isolated and eventually depressed, until the moment five years ago

:42:46.:42:47.

she switched on the TV one morning. Teams might consider

ambitions were rekindled. I saw it on telly and it

were like a light bolt moment. And I thought, you know what,

:43:07.:43:09.

I want some of this because, So Jan formed her own team

:43:10.:43:14.

of over-60s, to play in a version of football that does not

:43:15.:43:18.

put as much pressure on senior joints and heart

:43:19.:43:21.

that the full-speed game does. They've made me look

:43:22.:43:23.

at me because a while ago I were in a dark

:43:24.:43:31.

place, I wasn't good. I have many, many

:43:32.:43:33.

memories but sometimes And sometimes what's happened,

:43:34.:43:35.

we are creating new memories here. I scored a goal today and I will be

:43:36.:43:38.

laughing for that forever. I joined Jan's team

:43:39.:43:45.

in training and was amazed by the speed and accuracy

:43:46.:43:47.

of the passing through feet. All footballers could learn

:43:48.:43:54.

something from this. You have not got the option

:43:55.:43:56.

of running past your opponent. It does open your

eyes that it is not sedentary and as slow

:44:00.:44:11.

as you would like to think. This gives them the alternative

:44:12.:44:13.

to still be able to kick a ball about and get the feel

:44:14.:44:16.

for the ball but at slower pace When I first featured this

meet the Irish Sea is both part of its appeal, and part of the

:46:21.:46:25.

challenge of living here. And, for the last 70 years, it has been home

:46:26.:46:31.

to the nuclear plant at Sellafield, often controversial but a major

:46:32.:46:35.

employer in the area. More than 10,000 people work here.

:46:36.:46:51.

It has been Labour land since the 1930s, but when Jamie Reed

:46:52.:46:54.

quit to return to the nuclear industry, the Conservatives sensed

:46:55.:46:56.

an opportunity to prune the red rose.

:46:57.:46:58.

So could history be made on Thursday?

:46:59.:47:00.

In the heart of the constituency at Calder Bridge, each year

:47:01.:47:02.

the pub hosts the World's Biggest Liar competition.

:47:03.:47:04.

What better place to discuss politics?

:47:05.:47:07.

He tells me much has been made of the Labour leader's opposition

:47:08.:47:15.

But the proposed new plant in the area has now

:47:16.:47:25.

Or, are voters minds on other matters closer to home?

:47:26.:47:33.

This is a constituency which very much concentrates on local issues

:47:34.:47:35.

and apart from the nuclear issue there is also the hospitals

:47:36.:47:38.

in the area where certainly there is big concern for voters.

:47:39.:47:41.

It is the kind of thing that analysts in by-elections absolutely

:47:42.:47:43.

So many things to pore over and potentially a close result.

:47:44.:47:57.

To test the theory, we visited a hustings

:47:58.:47:59.

As for the questions, top of the agenda -

:48:00.:48:04.

How many jobs will you promise me, and people like me in this area...?

:48:05.:48:26.

And what is abundantly clear is that people here care about Whitehaven

:48:27.:48:29.

We are, as Copeland, totally different because we have

:48:30.:48:32.

It concerns me greatly that there is a lot of political

:48:33.:48:36.

parties that are using it as a crux for their campaign,

:48:37.:48:39.

as to whether the nuclear industry will be enhanced or if it

:48:40.:48:43.

Because of what's been going on, the health service.

:48:44.:48:51.

I mean, there's an older population here as well.

:48:52.:48:57.

Labour held the seat, albeit by a reduced margin over

:48:58.:49:10.

the Conservatives, with Ukip coming third.

:49:11.:49:13.

There were large national issues discussed at the hustings.

:49:14.:49:15.

The economy, the NHS, climate change, for example,

:49:16.:49:17.

but what people were really concerned with was the future

:49:18.:49:23.

of the local hospitals, the local schools and especially

:49:24.:49:25.

But these people tell me it isn't about Jeremy Corbyn,

:49:26.:49:34.

The by-election results may well be seized upon by the winners

:49:35.:49:39.

as symptomatic of wider political trends, but if they insist on doing

:49:40.:49:43.

that they may well talk themselves into a place in the year's

:49:44.:49:46.

There are seven candidates standing in the by-election on Thursday, find

:49:47.:50:04.

out more about them and their policies on the BBC website. Now, a

:50:05.:50:10.

last look this morning at the weather. Darren has all of the

:50:11.:50:15.

details. It is mild? 15 degrees, 16 degrees?

:50:16.:50:19.

Yes, potentially, over the next day or two, but you often find a lot of

:50:20.:50:24.

cloud at this time of year. I found some blue skies and a little

:50:25.:50:28.

sunshine. This was a picture from a Weather Watcher a little while ago.

:50:29.:50:36.

From Yorkshire. More low cloud and misty conditions in the south, this

is East Sussex. So improvements in England and Wales, some sunshine but

Scotland is likely to be much drier and brighter, and it could be 13

degrees in Aberdeenshire. We should get an improvement in the weather in

:51:00.:51:03.

Northern Ireland, as sunshine and rain trickles to the far north of

:51:04.:51:06.

England and into North Wales. Away from here, much more dry with a bit

:51:07.:51:10.

of drizzle around and low cloud. It should brighten with sunshine

:51:11.:51:15.

pushing through with temperatures at 11 or 12 degrees. A lot of cloud

:51:16.:51:20.

right through the day, the FA Cup fifth round of calls. Something

:51:21.:51:24.

brighter. It will be mild, more low cloud for the game at Burnley. In

:51:25.:51:30.

the evening, rain and drizzle in North England and North Wales, going

:51:31.:51:34.

southwards, that will peter out. We will have wet and windy weather in

:51:35.:51:39.

Scotland, eastern Scotland, there will be some breaks in the club.

:51:40.:51:43.

Generally speaking, a lot of cloud overnight. Temperatures at six or 7

:51:44.:51:48.

degrees. A great start tomorrow. We will find in the westerly flow, the

:51:49.:51:53.

western side of the UK, some cloud and drizzle around. But getting into

:51:54.:51:57.

more sheltered areas, may be used Wales for a while, some sunshine and

:51:58.:52:02.

some brighter skies. Temperatures on par with those of today. Rain in the

:52:03.:52:08.

north-west later on. You can trace this warm air to the Caribbean, we

:52:09.:52:13.

will not get the sunshine or the heat, but more mild conditions from

:52:14.:52:17.

across the UK, temperatures peaked on Monday between these two weather

:52:18.:52:21.

friends. A lot of cloud on Monday, windy, bumpy winds -- these two

:52:22.:52:28.

weather fronts. Temperatures as high as 15 or 16 degrees, it depends on

:52:29.:52:31.

the amount of sunshine. That's all from me, have a lovely day. More

:52:32.:52:34.

from me tomorrow. Scunthorpe is a town

:52:35.:52:41.

known for its steel, but from today it will get

where a suggested service But it's now emerged that some

cruise lines are adding as much as ?90 per person to the cost

is tipping cruise ship staff Simon Calder, travel editor

of the Independent, has been What is the procedure? It is

of money. In the olden days they would say, they looked after your

cabin and would tip the waiters and so on. Now large numbers of cruise

lines so that they are going to stipulate a charge that you will

course, if you want to report Michael Cole reward people

individually, you can. But Norwegian Cruise line say that there is a

fixed service charge -- if you want to reward people individually.

:56:58.:57:01.

Nowhere could find that you could reduce it or eliminate it

:57:02.:57:06.

completely. The crucial thing is if it is part of the overall cost of

:57:07.:57:11.

the trip, they need to advertise it including the charge. I've

:57:12.:57:13.

subsequently talked to them and said, if you want to reduce it, you

:57:14.:57:18.

can. I think some people would say it is skating on thin ice. If you do

:57:19.:57:24.

not pay the tips, does it mean that staff are underpaid, is it included

:57:25.:57:29.

as part of the salary? The whole business model is that effectively

:57:30.:57:32.

you are often paying ?10 per person per day, effectively which is going

into a people to help pay the wages of everyone. A lot of British people

:57:40.:57:42.

feel uncomfortable with that, they do not want to do what many

Americans do which is paid tips up front so you are actually paying in

:57:51.:57:56.

the whole idea of tipping. Mind you, since we spoke about it a couple of

:57:57.:58:00.

hours, we've had a lot of heckling. Someone said, I hope you realise

:58:01.:58:04.

that tips maker blizzard stunt or part of the cruise income, shame on

you. Fair enough, I tip individuals but I do not want to find on why

Bill at the end of the cruise that I've been charged an extra ?10 a day

:58:14.:58:21.

that was not included in the upfront price -- make up a huge part of the

:58:22.:58:25.

cruise income. It is entirely optional, if you want

:58:26.:58:29.

to do that, it is fine, but a lot of people say that they do not. By the

:58:30.:58:34.

way, I've had people pointing out that when you buy a drink, or

:58:35.:58:40.

anything on-board, generally you get an 18% tip added which is

:58:41.:58:44.

non-negotiable, but you kind of know that. A ?5 beer will actually cost
