This is Breakfast, with Steph McGovern and Charlie

People buying a new car are urged by the Transport Secretary to think

long and hard before choosing a diesel.

Chris Grayling says drivers should consider whether a less polluting

Good morning. It's Saturday 25th February.

Former Labour Foreign Secretary David Miliband says the party has

never been further from power in the last 50 years,

following the Conservative's success in the Copeland by-election.

President Trump steps up his battle with the media,

as a number of news organisations are barred

It's farewell to Leicester for Claudio Ranieiri,

as he tells fans the dream he hoped would last

And take a sport developed for energetic, young adrenalin

seekers and get a group of over '60s to have a go.

I've been trying a new type of fitness class, based on the sport

Good morning. The weather doesn't look particularly inspiring this

weekend. A lot of cloud around. Some rain at times and it will be fairly

blustery. All the details in about 15 minutes.

The former Labour secretary says the party is further from power than it

has been at any time in the last 50 years.

In an interview with the Times newspaper, Mr Miliband said

he was deeply concerned about Labour's future under

Jeremy Corbyn, after the party lost the Copeland by-election

Here's our political correspondent Chris Mason.

Jeremy Corbyn went to Stoke yesterday to look and sound like a

winner. His man had won the by-election there, activists were

delighted. But Labour's vote slid in Stoke and the party has suffered

eight, a Cumbrian humbling 140 miles north in Copeland, as the

Conservatives triumphed. Enter from New York the Labour Party see as the

best leader they never had, David Miliband. He now runs a charity, the

International Rescue Committee, and this is not the first time he has

been a public do Monga about his party under Jeremy Corbyn. -- doom

long-off. He said Labour had lost support among IT called its core

base: but those loyal to the leader say it

is not all Jeremy Corbyn's fault and adds... I would like to talk about

issues and what it is that makes a difference to people's lives. And

that's having the sort of government that will address the concerns of

people, that has solutions. This government does not and we need to

make clear that we are the alternative and we have alternative

solutions that will work. If you need to make it clear that... But

plenty of other Labour MPs see what has happened as evidence of what

they've always feared with Jeremy Corbyn, that painful drift towards

irrelevance. Don't expect them to try to get rid of Mr Corbyn now

because they know what happened when they tried that last time. He won

again. Motorists should think long and hard

before buying a diesel car. That's the message from

the Transport Secretary He's urging drivers to consider

a less-polluting vehicle instead. Four in ten cars on Britain's

roads are diesel. Under Labour, they had been billed

as the clean alternative to petrol Now they're said to be one

of the reasons for increasing levels Let's get more on this

with our correspondent Nick Quraishi,

who's in central London. Good morning. The department of

Transport sources are clear to point out Chris Grayling is insane to not

buy diesel, he is simply saying to think about the alternatives. There

are 12 million diesel cars on the road. The problem is nitrogen

dioxide, which government figures estimate kill some 23.5 thousand

people in the UK each year. -- 23,000 500. The government says is

trying to help with the problem and is committed to reducing harmful

emissions and improving air quality. It has put ?2 billion since 2011

into trying to help and it is to come up with more schemes later this

year. We understand one of them will be a scrappage scheme, so motorists

are paid to get rid of their old diesels in favour of something less

polluting. What Chris Grayling's comments to do is market dramatic

shift from what Corbyn -- Gordon Brown did when he was Chancellor and

reduced taxes on diesel cars. That said, the Mayor of London city

can't, who is introducing a toxicity charge from October, when most

polluting vehicles will have to pay ?10 a day to enter London. Thanks

for the moment. Several news organisations,

including the BBC, have been barred from entering a press

briefing at the White House. President Trump's spokesman said

the administration would "push back" against what it sees

as false reporting. Here's our Washington

correspondent, Laura Bicker. President Trump has stepped up his

battle with the media. If you days ago I called the fake news the enemy

of the people and they are. They are the enemy of the people. Because

they have no sources, they just make them up when there are none. He is

angry recent reports claiming his campaigners had contact with Russian

intelligence officials. The New York Times used anonymous sources for

their story. They should not be allowed, he said. They shouldn't be

allowed to use sources unless they use somebody's name. Let their name

we put out there. This latest Thai rage in a speech to a Conservative

conference was 15 minutes long and just a few hours later things

changed at the White House. -- latest tirade. It is the usual

briefing by the White House secretary. All accredited media can

attend. Instead number of selected media groups were invited into the

office of Sean Spicer and others were barred, including the BBC. He

was asked why. Why are they not in here? We

expanded it and added some folks to comment coverage. It was my

decision. The president says we will do something about it, in reference

to the stories he says are false by the New York Times and CNN. What is

he talking about? We are just not going to sit back and let false

narratives, false stories, inaccurate facts get out there. The

White House correspondent says it is protesting strongly and encouraging

those who were allowed into shared material. The BBC is also seeking

clarification as to why it was barred.

Police have defended the decision to fire a taser at an unarmed blind

man in Greater Manchester on Thursday.

Officers at the train station this took the man's came for a gun. The

43-year-old was unhurt and police have apologised. He was probably

quite worried, in a state of panic. The bubbly they were trying to calm

him down because obviously they realised, because he fired from a

distance of about 10- 15 metres, I could make out it was a mistaken

identity case. HSBC has promised to review the way

it collects information from customers, after the BBC

revealed that a number of clients had their accounts closed

with little or no warning. Some customers say the bank

is being over-zealous with the information

that it demands from them and how it treats those

who struggle to provide it. The bank's been carrying out more

stringent checks in recent years The band Coldplay have denied that

they've scheduled concerts in Israel They've taken to social media to say

that they are just visiting Their world tour starts

in Singapore next month. This is an interesting story that

every parent will understand about their baby's first outing being

quite stressful. Have a look at this baby polar pair. This is a baby

polar bear, in Munich, who took his first steps out in the world.

The baby, who is yet to be named, cautiously checked out the ground,

drank water and even tried to bite a melon,

to the delight of the viewing public.

Yes, wondering where the melon is... They are still looking for the!

Under there. You can't beat a cute picture like

that. If I had said what food will indeed

I would not have said Mellon! What would you have gone for? Raw

meat. Let's take a look at

this morning's papers. The Times newspaper has a story we

are looking up. Quotes from David Miliband. Many people said David

Miliband... Many people said he shouldn't be the leader of the

Labour Party. It is his criticism of what's going on right now, Jeremy

Corbyn has driven Labour to its worst position in living memory. The

party is now weaker than in the 1980s. These are the comments from

David Miliband, speaking of calls from New York, which is where he

lives. The Daily Mail has this story about

diesel cars. Motorists should be wary of buying cars, this comes from

the transport secretary, who made comments on this last night. Chris

Grayling suggested that an imminent clampdown on air pollution would

encourage a switch to cleaner cars. On the front page of the Daily

Telegraph. The king up on the Conservative victory -- picking up.

Theresa May declaring the Conservatives truly the party of

working people. Saying it is the best victory by a governing party

since 1878. The Guardian leads with this story.

Also connected to pollution. A story about air pollution. It says tens of

thousands of children at more than 800 schools and nurseries in London

are being exposed to illegal levels of air pollution, that risks causing

lifelong health problems. That's a story in the Guardian. We

will have a full review coming up later this morning.

to find out what the situation is like for those fleeing the fighting.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

People buying a new car are urged by the transport secretary to think

long and hard before choosing a diesel, as the government looks at

ways to cut air pollution. The White House has barred several

major news organisations from a press briefing, being given by

President Trump's spokesman. The BBC, CNN and the New York Times were

among those excluded. Here's Ben with a look

at this morning's weather. Good morning, Ben. It is miserable.

We have left is behind us, we will not see anything quite as quite as

unpleasant as that. That certainly does not mean it sailing this

weekend. We will have a blustery wind out there with outbreaks of

rain at times as well. If you have a look at the satellite, there is a

pipeline of cloud streaming in towards us. I promise we aren't in

if this cloud. That have a closer look at how we start off this

morning. A cloudy start across many southern areas. Blustery here as

well but milder. Up to 10 degrees if you are about to head out the front

door. A little rain around, most of it patchy. Across north-west Wales

and England, heavy rain and across Cumbria we will see a lot of rain

through today. Northern Ireland and Scotland starting weight and you can

see the wind gusts here, Dow falls, easily in exposed spots. As we go on

through the day we could be blustery wind, particularly in southern and

central areas as this rain continues to move radically southwards and

eastwards. Rain continues across Cumbria and sets in across parts of

Wales. Fellow other areas, things will brighten up through the

afternoon with temperatures dipping away here as cooler or starts to

work its way in. Throughout the evening and tonight the rain will

continue for a time. Tending to fizzle away and it will eventually

clear away. And then we have a dry slot before so more wet weather

starts to move into Northern Ireland and western Scotland. That sets us

up for tomorrow. In many senses, we do it all that again. Another

weather system pushing its way towards us and ahead of it we have

some blustery south-westerly winds but again, that means it will be

fairly mild. We begin tomorrow with central and eastern areas dry.

Perhaps dry and bright but then the rain works in. The rain sets in

across Northern Ireland and Scotland. Rain moving in through

Wales and into the south-west as well. Ahead of it it is mild, 12

degrees and cooler behind. A quick sneak peek at Monday when we lose

the weather front and the band of rain but behind it it is rainy.

Sunshine, yes, but showered showers which could be wintry with hail and

fund. We'll be back with a summary

of the news at half past six. Now it's time for the Film Review

with Ben Brown and Jason Solomon. Hello and welcome to

The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's

cinema releases is Jason Solomon. This week we sift the debris

of the Boston Marathon in the company of Kevin Bacon

and Mark Wahlberg in Patriots Day. We take a long, sad look

at the life of footballer And putting you off

fluffy robes for life, we seek A Cure For Wellness

in a Swiss Alpine spa. It is the story of the 2013

Boston Marathon bombing There was this extraordinary bombing

of the Boston Marathon, Their names were on

everyone's lips in 2013. Everyone remembers,

the brothers that escaped. They had to shut the city down

looking for the brothers. One was holed up in a boat

in someone else's backyard. The strangely human

story of this wanton The film is put together

in a classic disaster film fashion. The people assembling for the big

day of the Boston Marathon, and including Mark Wahlberg

as a cop. Then there is the Kevin Bacon,

the FBI man, and John Goodman This is them having a look

after the explosion. You're not any closer

to identifying the guys that If we release the pictures now

it's out of our control. Gentlemen, if I may, right now,

Boston is working against us. Right now, in this city,

when it comes to terrorism, There are a lot of people talking,

but talking about the wrong people. Release the pictures of our guys,

sit back and listen. Start letting Boston work

for us, I'm telling you. But I can't snap my fingers on this,

the decision goes up It is difficult to make

a Hollywood film about such And the director has been faithful

as much as he can and to those affected by the tragedy and injured,

the people with the amputations. The people at the end

of the film discussing how It's a healing process

for the town of Boston. There is Mark Wahlberg,

a poster boy for Boston. What it does not do is examine

the motives of the brothers, who out While it does feature them,

they go in their homes and feature their wives,

but it does not probe the motives. How can the renegade terrorists

provoke such a carnage and bring So it was a bit hurrah,

this film for me. The clip that we saw,

it looked like a thriller. It is very much of the safety

of the American citizens, protected by the great policemen

and the Ambulance Service. They will track down

the killers, the media helping. Although they look hapless,

as the brothers led them a merry dance for 89 hours and ended up

hiding in someone's boat. It is slightly ridiculous,

without the humour and the absurdity It is dangerous, it is called

Patriots Day, so it's very American and up-thumping,

but it loses something because of that, because it is about people

who wanted to be anti-American. I wanted them to explore that more

darkly than it does. Then in his later

life, so sad, really. The popping of the champagne,

the dazzling eyes. He was the first

boutique footballer. But he was whippy, incandescent,

he had it all by 22, It is put together like

a Shakespearean tragedy. Sitting on the side lines,

despairing and sad. The only person who is not

sad is George Best. There is a shot where someone runs

in, saying, "Besty, Besty, But he is lying on a bed

with a beautiful woman, As an audience member

you want to reach out He doesn't want it,

he rejects it, preferring It is a little dour,

in that it lacks the light This is about a young executive,

who is sent to retrieve his company's CEO from the Swiss Alps

fromst a spa? Yes, this arrogant young man goes

to a spa and there are people I am very wary of people in these

suits, with clip boards Let's look at this along

the corridors of uncertainty Mr Lockhart, every time I turn

around you are somewhere Just trying to find my

way back to my room. There are signs everywhere,

surely you did not come If you can point me

in the direction of my room. Nonsense, we can't let

you get an infection. Yes, if you don't like dentists,

don't watch the next bit. There are lots of old contraptions

in this spa, like the 1950s with the medicine ball,

and the tanks with the eels. It is a recipe for disaster

as to what was going on. Well, A Cure For Wellness,

but also Moonlight. It is a beautiful, tender,

poetic coming of age story, told about the life of a black boy

from Miami, from a It is about his life

and his tender growing sexuality. It is about identity

and identity politics. It has the chance of becoming

the smallest film ever It stands a chance of dislodging

the favourite, La La Land. I know that there is a backlash,

people saying it is overhyped with the 14 nominations

going to the Oscars. But there could be

a tidy haul for it. People are going to it

thinking that they will see But it is a modern indie film

with singing and dancing. Well, I think that the Best Actor

will not go to Ryan Gosling There is also a threat

from Denzel Washington in Fences. And Best Actress I think

will go to Emma Stone. I think that the Best Picture

will go to La La Land. I think maybe Moonlight could do it,

but those directors could become And maybe a screenplay for Moonlight

and one for Manchester By The Sea. Let's see how many of

them you get right. Don't forget you can

catch up on our previous This is Breakfast,

with Steph McGovern and Charlie Coming up before 7am, we'll get

the sport and the weather from Ben. First, a summary of this

morning's main news. Motorists should think long and hard

before buying a diesel car. That's the message from

the Transport Secretary Chris He says people should consider

a lower-emission vehicle instead. His comments come as the government

looks at ways to tackle air Four in ten cars on Britain's

roads are diesel. The former Labour Foreign Secretary

David Miliband has said that the party is further from power

than it has been at any time In an interview with the Times

newspaper, after the party lost the Copeland by-election

to the Conservatives, Mr Miliband said he was deeply

concerned about Labour's future Mr Corbyn insists his leadership's

not to blame and he won't step Several news organisations,

including the BBC, have asked the White House to explain

why their staff were barred President Trump's Press Secretary,

Sean Spicer, told a mostly empty media room that the administration

would "push back" against what it The president has criticised some

of the organisations which were excluded,

including CNN and the New York The United Nation's new climate

chief has admitted that she's worried about the election

of President Trump, because of his threat to pull the US

out of international agreements. Patricia Espinosa is visiting

America this weekend and hopes to raise her concerns

with senior officials. But the former Mexican diplomat says

she's confident the worldwide momentum towards cutting

emissions is now unstoppable. HSBC has promised to review the way

it collects information from customers, after the BBC

revealed that a number of clients had their accounts closed

with little or no warning. Some customers say the bank

is being over-zealous with the information

it demands from them, and how it treats those

who struggle to provide it. The bank's been carrying out more

stringent checks in recent years Four endangered tortoises,

which were rescued from smugglers, can now be seen in the UK

for the first time. The ploughshare tortoises were sent

to Chester Zoo in 2012, after they were confiscated

by customs officials in Hong Kong. The critically endangered reptiles,

are highly sought after by smugglers If that a moving picture? It is, but

that's a death stare from the taught us!

It will be moving any second now! -- taught.

Leicester fans are still stunned after the sacking of Claudio

Ranieri. He has gone home after a rather emotional farewell for many.

Remind us of the quota. He waited for comments.

Was it a tweet? It was a statement. He said he loved the fans, he loved

every minute and to always remember what they achieved because it always

put a smile on his face every day. Claudio Ranieri says his dream died,

when he was sacked nine months Ranieri was dismissed

on Thursday with Leicester, sitting one point above

the relegation zone, after a string of poor

performances in the league. The decision to sack the Italian

hasn't gone down well with lifelong They've probably panicked under

circumstances. They get this kind of myth that a new manager comes in and

everything is OK again. Well, the facts and statistics tell us it

doesn't make much difference. I think they should be building

statues to him, not sacking him. He deserved a bit more time than this.

I'm not afraid to say that when the news broke I shed a tear. For him

and for football. I shed a tear for the club.

Leicester aren't back in action until Monday night.

But they could start that game in the relegation zone,

if any of Hull, Crystal Palace or Sunderland win today.

Here's what's happening in the Premier League today then.

A win for Hull over Burnley would see them out of the bottom

three, while Palace and Sunderland can capitalise if Hull slip up.

At the top, Chelsea could go 11 points clear with a win over

He is doing a great job with them and has had great impact with the

team. They are very compact defensively. We must pay attention

to the set pieces. Inverness are out over a late win

over Rangers last night. Greg County gave them the lead. Rangers then

levelled from the penalty spot for Caley Thistle lost their own

penalty. But they won't be denied. How about this? An overhead kick to

snatch all three points. Spectacular.

Ireland will be looking to re-establish themselves

in the title race, as the Six Nations Championship

resumes today when they take on a resurgent France.

You can follow that on BBC Radio Five Live Sports Extra,

Before then, live on BBC One from two o'clock, Scotland

will try to end their decade-long, winless streak, against Wales.

Vern Cotter's side are missing five key men, including captain

Greg Laidlaw, who's been replace by Scarlets flanker John Barclay,

who should know a thing or two about the opposition.

I know living in Wales what rugby means there. I know the pressure is

on. Probably for me I think there's always huge pressure to win. People

tell me that, it is half in jest. I'm a Scottish person and somewhere

that's not full of rugby. It is full on rugby so I think they're winning

is everything for them. It is a different Scottish team to

potentially what we've seen before and like I say we are very focused

on the squad that we have at the minute and what we need to do off

the back of our game. You're only as good as your next one, not the last

one, and we are focused on that. In the women's tournament,

Scotland won their first Six Nations game in six years,

with a 15-14 win over Wales. It's the first time,

they have beaten the Welsh in 30 meetings and they had

to do it the hard way, Sarah Law with the vital penalty,

to seal the victory by a single point at the Broadwood stadium,

just north of Glasgow. Domestically, there was one game

in the Premiership last night. Leicester beat Harlequins

27-18 at The Stoop. After taking an early lead,

it was Quins who led at half time, Freddie Burns scoring more

than half their points, with their third and final

try as well. Leicester are now level,

with fourth placed Bath In the Pro 12, Cardiff

narrowly won at Edinburgh to inflict more misery

on the Scottish team. Cardiff were looking beaten,

11 points down on the hour, Lloyd Williams with the match

winning try. Elsewhere, Newport Gwent Dragons

lost to Leinster and Scarlets beat And this lunchtime sees the first

transatlantic sports team take Toronto Wolfpack will compete

in domestic English rugby They are in Yorkshire to face Siddal

in the Challenge Cup. Wolfpack will compete in the third

tier of the sport this season and their aim is to become

a Super League side You can watch their first game

on the BBC Sport website at 1pm. It was a busy night in super league

last night, with five games. Warrington were hoping for another

win after their victory over the Brisbane Broncos

in the World Club Series, but they were left red

faced by Castleford, whose man of the match,

Zak Hardaker, And they never looked back

after the 30-22 win. Elsewhere, world champions Wigan

avoided a similar slump after their World

Club Series success. They were 14 points down

at one stage in the second half against Widnes,

but Wigan won 28-26 in the end. Leeds also left it

late to beat Salford, and there were also

wins for Huddersfield That was their first

win back Super League. Britain's Mark Cavendish has

retained the overall lead, after the second stage

of the Tour of Abu Dhabi. Australian Caleb Ewan

thought he'd won the stage and raised his arms a little

early in celebration, before realising he'd been pipped

at the line by Germany's Cavendish came in third,

to keep hold of the overall Probably he was fortunately in the

right position. That's just the power of him, he is going to come

across fast and get over the line. That was well played. I am kind of

happy with that. The team were exceptional again, really

exceptional. The sport of free running,

or parkour, has until now been seen as a daring activity

for young adrenalin seekers. However, there are now classes

being run for the over 60s, and those giving it a go

are finding that it's helping to improve their balance

and spacial awareness, therefore reducing their risk

of falling in later life. I've been to join a parkour fitness

class in east London. It is the sport that is transformed

our urban landscape. In the decade since parkour or free running first

arrived in the UK. But now meet the class of 2017, all in their 60s, 70s

and 80s. They are feeling the benefits, as they overcome obstacles

and explore their environment the parkour way, through a series of

games and physical challenges. Parkour has come such a long way in

the last decade, since it was mainly young male looking to do dangerous

things on tall buildings. Now it is for all, including George, who is 88

and enjoying swinging. How was that? All right. I like swinging. As you

get older you get lazy. I haven't been doing anything for years, so

I've been getting very lazy. I don't want to move. That this given you a

new lease on life? Yes, it has again. You've got it! Earlier this

year, parkour was officially recognised as a sport by the UK's

various sports councils and this opens up access to new funds for

more crisis like this in other cities. This is more than a bit of

fun. Like that? They are finding this is helping to prevent people

from falling in later life. We found balance and strength in particular

has been improving the most in the body and so we had a lot of people

say that they've helped them do not fall and be less fearful of just

going out and doing everyday activities. Indeed, no one here said

they fallen since they started this activity. I just feel kind of perky,

which is all right! You get a fall and then you have to go to the

doctor. No thank you very much! There are also classes to improve

mental health. Parkour aims to help the way we deal with problems and

challenges that everyday life at us. Parkour is such an inclusive sport

because there is no competitive behaviour and no entry level, so it

is playtime for anybody who wants to learn. I think this is excellent. It

takes people out of their comfort zone, which is where you learn

things. This is a very friendly exercise,

isn't it? A final exercise was to pass each other on a narrow wall.

Full of fear and we would be in trouble. We've come together,

explored and got up close and personal with our surroundings in a

way in me never thought possible before. This is a long way from that

extreme image many of us have of parkour, but the sense of

achievement is just the same. It is such a warm and friendly

feeling at the same. It was wonderful. That's great.

Looks like really good fun. Find out where your local parkour classes are

on the BBC website. Thanks very much and we are staying

on the sporting theme. Ireland is taking on France in the Six Nations

today, but the result would be the be all and end all for the winner

of. He always reads the Bible before he steps the pitch, so what does his

faith and to his game? Our religious affairs correspondent has been to

meet him. I love the game. I love playing

rugby. It is the biggest part of my career. Andrew Trimble's obsession

with rugby union heaped in November, with Ireland's first ever victory

over world champions New Zealand. After the game we were just walking

around, shaking our heads, going, what have we done? With just beaten

the All Blacks. No Irish team has ever done this before. But he says

it's a miracle that he even managed to play. Just 16 months earlier he

had two operations on the same foot and suffered a stress fracture.

There are not many people who are in careers where they get to the age of

29 and could lose everything. It's important to be reminded that there

is something else out there and something more important than rugby.

I think that shapes my thinking and my perspective on rugby, on sport,

on my career. What is that perspective? There's an eternal

perspective. Rugby is something that lasts for 10- 15 years, but the

perspective of having faith and having a sincere faith and that

defining me, that's something that doesn't end and something that lasts

forever. My soul yearns, even feints, for the courts of the Lord.

My heart and flesh prides... He reads this prayer before every

match. Rugby and religion, a new perspective that he says remind him

that life should not be solely defined by what happens on the

pitch. But one day in your courts than 1000 elsewhere. It also

explained why he chose to visit the refugee camp in Tanzania last year.

They have hopes and dreams and aspirations to fulfil their

potential, in the same way I do, and faced being cut short. They might

never get to leave that refugee camp. It's something I've maybe had

a better appreciation of since I became a father 1.5 years ago. This

afternoon, Ireland face France and the final words that Andrew Trimble

will hear before running onto the pitch won't come from his coach, but

from the old Testament. For the Lord God is a son and shields. No good

thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. Oh Lord,

Almighty, as it is -- as it is the man here in you. Ancient Wisdom for

modern sport. You're watching

Breakfast from BBC News. Here's Ben with a look

at this morning's weather. This is our first picture of the

day. This is how the day is dawning. Gloomy and cloudy. We wave goodbye

to Doris, thankfully and we do not expect anything that windy through

the weekend. But it will still be blustery out there. There will be a

lot of cloud around today and rain at times. This is the satellite, a

pipeline coming in across the British Isles. I promise we are

underneath you somewhere. We sat all, a mild south-westerly wind. It

starts across the south-west of England and into the Channel

Islands. Rain is the Midlands and Anglia. The rain will be patchy

nature. It will be blustery out there lend great breezy and then

into northern Wales in north-west England heavy rain starts to set in

and that will be around for a good part of the day. Northern Ireland

and Scott Boland got off to a soggy start as well. The wind gusts comic

here you can see some at gale force. As we go on through the day the rain

in the north-west will gradually topple south and eastwards but as I

mentioned, reigning all day long I suspect for parts of Cumbria and

Wales. All travelling conditions here. To the south-east, patchy rain

and a blustery day. In the north-west the rains will leave a

little bit. A little bit of afternoon sunshine here and one or

two showers and will become a look cooler. Throughout this evening and

tonight the rain continues a radically. Sizzling away as it goes.

Another note of dry weather before more rain arrives into the

north-west. Wet by the end of the night and through tomorrow that rain

will move again erratically southwards and eastwards and it will

set in for a good part of the day for Northern Ireland and Scotland,

getting in again to Cumbria, again to north Wales. A list of that

another mild and fairly blustery day and the temperature tomorrow will

reach around 12 degrees in the south-east. Cooling off towards the

south-west of the day goes on and that takes us into Monday. They cool

and blustery day. Sunshine, heavy showers, perhaps wintry with hail

and fund. You very much, then. We will be back with the headlines at

seven o'clock. From blue screen jungles

to strange adventures in time, over the past few weeks we've been

exploring some of the best visual effects from the past year and this

week is no exception. Directed by Gareth Edwards,

the visual genius behind Monsters and Godzilla, Rogue One has earned

over $1 billion at the worldwide box office and has,

unsurprisingly, been nominated Edwards worked with the team

at Industrial Lights and Magic to recreate that galaxy far,

far away and, as we found out when we visited their London

office, they provided some very cool kit to help facilitate his

unique directing style. He likes to walk around his sets

and physically pick up the camera himself and walk around and find

interesting angles that might not have occurred to him

when he was planning out Our vision effects supervisor

was keen that he could apply the same style of filming

to the synthetic cameras, so we used a real-time

virtual reality system, and therefore he can show us

rather than explain to us. And this is it?

This is it. This is what we call

our VCam Renderer. Can I just point out,

it's an iPad with a Vive controller And we can set it up

relatively easily and quickly. And is this where he did these

scenes, in this room? This is where he shot his

virtual camera work. So this is a scene

that was actually set up for a trailer, the first trailer,

that we did for Rogue One. You have this scene running

and he would just walk around and decide on his best angles

and then after that you would tidy The idea wasn't that he would be

getting perfectly smooth, composed camera moves,

but he was able to sort of show to us, the beginning of the shot,

I want it here, the end of the shot, We could then publish this

through our pipeline software, and then it could be immediately

picked up by animators We shot this with Gareth in London,

we then pushed it into our pipeline, it was then picked up by people

in San Francisco and the take was ready for him to

review the next morning. May I have a go?

Absolutely. So the animation in this scene

is the dish of the Death Star. Oh, look, you can

see behind the dish! So I can get a different shot

to Gareth if I wanted? If I find a better

shot, do I get a job? It's the dish going

to the Death Star. So, here, we're following X-Wing

as it makes its approach run We can just move around and frame up

on camera moves and follow the ship This film is set near minutes before

the very first film, and so getting these computer

generated models to look exactly like the physical models

from 1977 was, I guess, Our friends and colleagues

in San Francisco took digital scans of the original models

from the art department, and they had lots of texture

references, and thankfully just recreated them so that

there wouldn't be any jarring differences between these

ships and the ships in New Hope. We have teams of people

who are responsible for laying out camera moves, we have teams

of people who are building digital We've got a fantastic team

of animators and then we've got a great team of compositors,

who take all of the renders that we generate and put it

all together with the footage and integrate it into hopefully

photorealistic results. So this model here, of Jedha,

is that completely full detail, so you can move the

camera to anywhere? We had a camera that rotated around

on its own axis and we moved it randomly around the city and ended

up with hundreds of views. So many of them were just

fascinating in what they ended up Because typically, if you're

given a shot to lay out, you'll start dressing

everything to the camera. So you'll start laying out buildings

that stack away from the camera and, typically with lighting,

you would start with back lighting at three quarters,

from one direction. But what we found was that,

because none of those considerations have been taken, you just end up

with occasionally finding views that are so natural,

so the lighting might just be illuminating one half

of a wall in the background, for example, or none of the roads

are perpendicular to the camera and they're all going

off at weird angles. So that was really successful

and we ended up using a lot of those views as the background in a lot

of our blue screen shoots. Hello and welcome

to the Week In Tech. It was the week that Uber found

itself under fire after a former employee accused the company

of sexual harassment in a blog post. Uber responded, saying it

would conduct an urgent investigation into the claims

which it called abhorrent and against everything Uber stands

for and believes in. It was also the week that YouTube

announced it would get rid Scientists at MIT showed off

a special coating making it easier And astronomers have detected seven

Earth-sized planets orbiting And, yes, before you ask,

three of them may have conditions And finally, researchers

at Brigham Young University have shown off an origami-inspired light

weight bullet-proof shield. The barrier is made up of 12 layers

of bullet-proof Kevlar and weighs How many faces can you

see in this picture? This is a persistence

of vision display. You can only see it when your eyes,

or in our case the camera, We've slowed right down

so you can really feast on... So, a persistence of vision display

is predicated upon the persistence of vision phenomenon,

which is an effect in the human eye. And it's the effect where

when you look at any bright light and you look away you see a ghost

of that bright light for a moment. So what happens is our display takes

a standard two-dimensional image and it breaks it up into vertical

columns of pixel data. This single vertical line of light

blinks out each column sequentially, so column one, two, three,

until it gets to the end So as your eye looks

away from the display, it prints each column in your retina

in a different location and the whole image

is reassembled in your eye. Moving strips of super fast flashing

LEDs have painted pictures or text in the air for a couple of decades

now, but Lightvert relies on our eyes to do

the moving instead. Something they are naturally

doing all the time. We've created a new type

of projection technique for creating persistence of vision displays

and we patented that globally and what that lets us do

is scale up the size So, with LEDs and other light

sources, it becomes challenging to create a display that's more

than say three metres tall. But with our Echo technology we can

create a display that's up to 300 metres tall, effectively turning

entire skyscrapers into the world's And that's why if you've been

walking down a particular street in Berlin last Monday,

you might have seen my face out Do you think this is too distracting

for drivers, for example? It's very important

that we introduce it in the right way and it's not going to be

for every location. I certainly wouldn't

want to introduce this medium next We need people to understand it and,

much like when LED billboards first came into the public realm,

they were very distracting and there was legislation instantly

put in place in order to prevent We're going to have

to travel a similar path. And that's not the only eye-catching

projection I've seen this week. Ahead of next week's

Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I've also managed to get a sneak

preview of the future It's the latest version

of Sony's Xperia projector. It's an Android-based device that

functionality of a tablet, including pinch and zoom,

with your fingers positions being watched by a camera under

the projector and a row of infrared sensors at table level to detect

where our devices will be so small that we won't want a screen

or a keyboard or any kind of input device attached to

them and I see this You just have a display

of Click this week. The full version is on iPlayer right

with Steph McGovern and Charlie People buying a new car are urged

by the Transport Secretary to think long and hard before

choosing a diesel. Chris Grayling says drivers should

consider whether a less polluting Good morning.

It's Saturday 25th February. Former Labour Foreign Secretary

David Miliband says the party has never been further from power

in the last 50 years, following the Conservative's success

in the Copeland by-election. President Trump steps

up his battle with the media, as a number of news

organisations are barred It's farewell to Leicester

for Claudio Ranieiri, as he tells fans the dream

he hoped would last Also this morning, we take a trip

to the Lake District Island that inspired the foundation

of the National Trust. The weather doesn't look

particularly inspiring this weekend. Some rain at times and it

will be fairly blustery. Motorists should think long and hard

before buying a diesel car. That's the message from

the Transport Secretary Chris He's urging drivers to consider

a less-polluting vehicle instead. Four in ten cars on Britain's

roads are diesel. Under Labour, they had been billed

as the clean alternative to petrol Now they're said to be one

of the reasons for increasing levels Let's get more on this

with our correspondent Nick Quraishi,

who's in central London. Good morning. Chris Grayling's word

CenterMark dramatic shift from what Labour did when it was in power. In

2001 Gordon Brown as Chancellor reduced taxes on low sulphur fuel.

That led the diesel car registrations to more than double.

There are 12 million diesel cars on the roads and with that comes

pollution. According to government estimates ten to 30,500 people died

in the UK from nitrogen dioxide levels. -- 23,500. Department for

transport sources say he isn't saying not to buy diesel, just think

about alternatives. Government says it is committed to reducing harmful

emissions and improving air quality and says it will come up with bans

later this year is. One of them is a scrappage scheme, so motorists will

be paid to get rid of their old diesels in favour of something less

polluting and we know that in London the Mayor has announced a toxicity

charge, which means from October the most polluting diesels will have to

pay ?10 per day to enter the city. A move which will no doubt be eagerly

watched by other places in the UK. Thank you.

The former Labour Foreign Secretary David Miliband has said

that the party is further from power than it has been at any time

In an interview in the Times newspaper, Mr Miliband said

he was deeply concerned about Labour's future under

Jeremy Corbyn, after the party lost the Copeland by-election

Here's our political correspondent Chris Mason.

Jeremy Corbyn went to Stoke yesterday to look and sound

His man had won the by-election there, activists were delighted.

But Labour's vote slid in Stoke and the party has suffered

a Cumbrian humbling 140 miles north in Copeland,

Enter from New York the man some in the Labour Party see

as the best leader they never had, David Miliband.

He now runs a charity, the International Rescue Committee,

and this is not the first time he has been a public doom-monger

Labour, he told the Times, had lost support among

But those loyal to the leader say it is not all Jeremy Corbyn's

I would actually like to talk about issues and what it is that

makes a difference to people's lives.

And what makes a difference to people's lives is having the sort

of government that will address the concerns

This government does not and we need to make clear

that we are the alternative and we have alternative solutions

That is the challenge for the bus it can't be laid at the door of one

individual. But plenty of other Labour MPs see

what has happened as evidence of what they've always

feared with Jeremy Corbyn, Don't expect them to try to get

rid of Mr Corbyn now, though, because they know

what happened when they Let's speak to our political

correspondent, Matt Cole, who's in our London

newsroom this morning. Another tough day for Jeremy Corbyn.

Yes, he could probably do without this voice from the past. Not the

first time David Miliband has been critical of Jeremy Corbyn's

leadership, but certainly the man who was beaten by his own brother in

2010 is probably more concerned about the loss in Copland. If Labour

were to lose other seats in the same way, by the same swing, in a general

election, they could find themselves below 200 seats. The Tory majority

could go on for 125, something like that, so clearly David Miliband is

concerned. He says he thinks Labour is in a worse position than it was

in the 1980s and must confront the historic nature of the problems. He

isn't the only voice of criticism around. The leader of the Unison

union says they -- David Miliband should take some of the blame

himself for the loss in Copland. Jeremy Corbyn says they will keep

campaigning and is pointing to the fact that they did hold Stoke.

Thanks very much. Several news organisations,

including the BBC, have been barred from entering a press

briefing at the White House. President Trump's spokesman said

the administration would "push back" against what it sees

as false reporting. Here's our Washington

correspondent, Laura Bicker. President Trump has stepped

up his battle with the media. A few days ago I called

the fake news "the enemy Because they have no sources,

they just make them up He is angry at recent reports

claiming his campaign aides had contact with Russian

intelligence officials. The New York Times used anonymous

sources for their story. They shouldn't be allowed

to use sources unless they This latest tirade during

a speech to a Conservative conference was 15 minutes long

and just a few hours later things This is a usual briefing

by the White House secretary. Instead, a number of selected

media groups were invited into Sean Spicer's office

and others were barred, There is a ban on CNN right now

that's a CNN and others have been blocked from media briefings. They

not allowed in here right now because you are unhappy with their

reporting is? We added a call and we expanded

on it and added some folks to come The president says we will do

something about it, in reference to these stories he says are false

by the New York Times and CNN. We are going to aggressively push

back. We are just not going

to sit back and let false narratives, false stories,

inaccurate facts get out there. The White House Correspondents

Association says it is protesting strongly

and encouraging those who were allowed in to

share material. The BBC is also seeking

clarification as to why Police have defended the decision

to fire a taser at an unarmed blind man in Greater Manchester

on Thursday. Officers at Levenshulme train

station mistook the man's cane The 43-year-old man was unhurt

and the police have apologised HSBC has promised to review the way

it collects information from customers, after the BBC

revealed that a number of clients had their accounts closed

with little or no warning. Some customers say the bank

is being over-zealous with the information

that it demands from them and how it treats those

who struggle to provide it. The bank's been carrying out more

stringent checks in recent years Every parent knows that baby's

first outing can be quite But this baby polar bear at Munich

animal park took her first steps in to the outside

world in her stride. The baby, who is yet to be named,

cautiously checked out the ground, drank water and even

the viewing public. Knocked over slightly by mum, but

all well. That's an animal park in Munich.

We will of course have all of the sport and we -- the weather coming

up later. The battle to take back control

of the Iraqi city of Mosul from so called Islamic State has

been going on for four months. So far the United Nations

estimates that 160,000 people have fled their homes,

but many more will follow. This week the BBC has been

broadcasting reports from Quentin Sommerville,

who's with Iraqi troops. Here's a look at what he's sent

from the front-line. The Iraqi army are starting their

assault on Western those all. They've breached their own defences.

-- Western Mosul. Armoured vehicles are getting ready. They are over

that way and they know these men are coming. They are dug in and the

assault on Western Mosul has started. These armoured columns are

now moving forward to Mosul airport. The attack for the airport is under

way. All night long we've heard coalition aircraft and Iraqi

artillery slam this area just to the north of us.

Iraqi forces are encountering every resistance as the roof into West

Mosul. -- move into. It has taken in less than one week to get this far

and this is a victory after the humiliation of the Islamic State

across Iraq. These men realise that beyond here, beyond this

neighbourhood, they are likely facing the battle of their lives.

Let's talk to someone who works with Oxfam and has been to some of the

villages where families have fled. She joins us now from Erbil. We were

just seeing bear from our reporter that the fighting that's been

happening over the past few days... What is it been like for the

civilians? As you can see from the report there is quite heavy fighting

happening in the villages around the airport and that's where I was

yesterday, meeting families who fled from the south of Mosul and the

southern villages. They are exhausted and traumatised and even

just the sound of gunfire and artillery is really frightening for

people. Not least they lived under a Isis for two years, so they've been

through a lot. People said yesterday that they had to sneak out in the

night, with very little with them, just what they could carry and made

their way towards the front line, waving white flags in the hope that

they can reach safety. It sounds terrifying. Do they have places to

stay? Are they being helped? Yes, I met with a man who had taken in 40

people into his house. Around 450 people had arrived in Erbil in the

past few days and so are lots of people had taken other people in and

were looking after them while they were waiting to be taken to camps.

Obviously one of the issues is about getting supplies to people as well.

Is there enough food for people, enough water? People were telling me

yesterday that in the last few months there's been... Supply routes

have been cut off the villages and left him struggling to eat and

haven't had access to healthcare and clean water. So they aren't in a

good physical space, so they do really need food, water and blankets

and warm clothes because it is really cold here at the moment. As

you say that obviously been through an horrific ordeal and under the

control of Isis for the past few years. Do they have hope that things

are getting better? Well, I think in the first instance they are pleased

to have reached safety and be out of the frontline fighting and to be out

of the control of Isis. They were telling me now hoping they will soon

be going home, so there is hope that they will be able to go back,

rebuild their lives and start again. When we talk about them going home,

will their homes still be there? That's going to be tough in itself,

the challenge of what happens next. Yes, I mean, having seen the other

places in the last few months that have been retaken and people have

gone back to... Some people's houses are still standing, but even then

the fighting has damaged their properties. But some people go back

to find their houses have been completely destroyed. For you,

working there, what's the biggest challenge? At the moment... I guess

one of the biggest challenges is knowing how many people we need to

respond to, so we are pre- positioning our stocks in places

where we believe people will flee to and supporting families that have

already been displaced. A number of people have already been displaced

from the Mosul offensive and we are placing people in camps, as well as

people who are returning to their villages, with water and blankets

and food. Thank you very much for talking to us.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

People buying a new car are urged by the Transport Secretary to think

long and hard before choosing a diesel, as the government looks

The White House has barred several major news organisations

from a press briefing being given by President Trump's spokesman.

The BBC, along with CNN and the New York Times

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

Thank you very much. Good morning. We have left the storm behind us but

that does not mean it is plain sailing this weekend. A cloudy start

for many of us as seen by our weather watch here in Plymouth as

well as the cloud, a blustery wind to start the day and we will see

some rain at times. Not everywhere that for most of us it is a cloudy

start. You can see this pipeline of cloud ploughing in across the

country. The British Isles is underneath, I promise.

South-westerly is putting mild area in our direction. Nine or 10 degrees

at the start of the day across the Channel Islands. A few splashes of

rain and quite breezy out there. Across the north of Wales in

north-west England the rain turned heavily and through the day we will

see a lot of rain here. Particularly in parts of Cumbria could have poor

travelling conditions. A windy start, black winged arrows show the

wind gusts, gale force gusts likely for exposed coasts and hills. Also

to the east of high ground in Scotland in the east of the Pennines

as well, some very blustery wind. Our band of rain will edge its way

through the day slowly southwards and eastwards so rain all day long

for parts of Cumbria and Wales. South-east of that just patchy rain.

It will stay mild with things cooling off by the end of the day.

Writing up a little bit with some sunshine and a few showers. Into

this evening and tonight the rain will continue for a time across

central and southern, south-easterly areas. Some of them damned if you

are out and about. And then dry weather, perhaps even a touch of

frost but our west, here we go again. Another band of rain sliding

in. Through tomorrow, yes, more wet weather pushing in through Scotland

and Northern Ireland and settling in again over north Wales. South-east

of that, a fair amount of cloud with brightness if you are lucky.

Blustery wind in many areas and temperatures are 12 degrees in

London so mild in the south-east at calling off towards the north-west

by the end of the day. That brings us to Monday, a cooler day, a windy

day with some blustery showers. Some of them heavy with hail and thunder.

Could be wintry over high ground and it looks unsettled throughout the

week ahead. Thank you very much. We will celebrate the outdoors now.

Beautiful images behind us here. An island which inspired

the foundation of the National Trust has been gifted to the conservation

charity after more than a century Sitting in the middle

of the Lake District, Grasmere Island was left

to the Trust by its former owner It is small but beautifully formed.

Grasmere Island lies at the heart of the Lake District. Wordsworth is

said to with picnic here frequently. But back in 1893 the island was put

up for sale and the thought of this idyllic spot coming private property

outraged a local clergyman. He had a deep passion that everybody needed

access to nature and natural beauty. The journey to Grasmere Island is an

idyllic experience in itself. Back in 1893 the new owner made a few

additions which did not go down too well with the locals. He planted

some shrubbery which caused a lot of indignation. A respectful letter was

written asking him to reconsider some of these changes. The reply was

blunt. If you are your friends felt so strongly about what happened to

the island, you are perfectly competent to turn up to the sale I

did and purchase it. That is exactly the issue that the vehicle was

concerned about, but it's were being sold off to the highest bidder and

they could do whatever they wanted. Absolutely. He was passionate that

ordinary people have access to natural beauty in nature. The loss

of this island for public use proved the catalyst that inspired him to

become a founding father of the National trust. But it is only now

that the trust has been able to take control of the island. The last

owner has bequeathed it to them. So now this island belongs to the

National trust will be overrun with hundreds of people? I don't think

so. While we would never stop people from coming, the physical access to

the island is difficult, which makes it refuge for nature. And as a

charity, that is important to us. This is quite an oak tree, isn't it?

It is wonderful. A veteran Oaktree. Heaven knows how old it is. This man

spent his final years on the shore of Grasmere. From here he could view

the island that helped him create the National trust. Now, at last,

the island is part of the portfolio, to be preserved and enjoyed by

everyone for ever. If you're heading out

on your weekly food shop today, will you be taking any notice

of the study out this week which suggests that eating

10portions of fruit and vegetables We've long been told that five

portions a day can bring significant health benefits, so is doubling your

intake really worth it, In a moment we'll get some

tips from a dietician, but first here's what

some of you think. I hardly ever eat one or even two so

I would get nowhere near ten. Fruit was lovely of growing up, as it is

now, for the extra fruit and the extra virgin will cost me a lot. I

think the fruit and vegetable is not cheap to get so I don't think anyone

can get is fruit and veg and it won't be dear. Unita Bauwens. Ten

portions... Well, what about, like, meet? Not all about vegetables. I

don't eat fruit at all. Would you believe that? I just don't. Do you

not like it? I do enjoy it but... Some mixed thoughts there.

Dietician Ursula Philpot joins us now.

Talking to people there are a variety on views over whether it is

attainable. Is it realistic? Is ten portions... It sounds like a lot.

That is what it looks like. It is doable you need to be prepared to

drop it and prepare it and think of creative ways to get it into your

died in the end of the day. It is doable thing for many people, you

know, just aiming for five or anything over five is great. You do

not need to go to ten. Anything over two is what the research says is

beneficial. You more benefits at five, eight portions seems to be the

maximum benefit. Anything is better than nothing. And it is all about

variety as well, isn't it? What we know is that the more different

colours you have on your plate, the better. And mixing it up. Not just

fruits, not just vegetables, a whole mix of things is what you are

looking for. Again, the study around the ten portions of fruit and

vegetable shows that there are particular ones that are more

beneficial. The coloured ones, the ones with bright colours, red,

orange, yellow, and leafy vegetables, things like spinach and

letters. Now, one of the problems here it is that in order for people

to access the message and then do something about it, some people are

saying that 10,000 too much and it is difficult people think, you know,

I cannot do that and that can almost push you to the other direction.

That man at the end who said he does not eat fruit at all. There is a

danger, isn't there? If you are the anti- too far and it might be better

for you, is that pushes people away from eating fruit and veg that is

not so good. I agree. We don't want to overwhelm people and make it

unrealistic. What I would like to say is that ten is absolutely

optimal but go for five day. That is where the health messages been here

for a long while and most people are still not getting that. If you could

just to five a day you are decreasing your risk of things like

coronary heart disease and stroke. If you go higher again the risks

come down more substantially. At the high end you have a 30% reduction

and at the lower message you have a 10%. More is better is the simple

message. You can be creative. Think about things like pickles, dried

fruit, even things like pulses and lentils will count. It is just

thinking about how to get them in at every meal and snack, really. The

danger is, for example, there is a lot of sugar in fruit, isn't there?

Potatoes are carbohydrates... We do not count potatoes. But with fruit,

again, provided you are not having ten pieces per day, provided it is

just three or four pieces a day, there is no evidence that that will

cause you any problem with blood sugar or detriment or problems. We

know the opposite, actually. People who eat a lot of fruit and vegetable

are the healthiest. So I would say to people to not be put off buying

through because of the sugar content. A few pieces of fruit a day

is a far better snack than many other things out there. It certainly

can be expensive, can't it? Especially as it is fresh.

Absolutely. That is one of the things that puts people off. It is

expensive because you are purchasing things chopped up or prepackaged all

you have to put a lot of time and effort into chart thing and

preparing it yourself. Again, it I would say to go for seasonal

vegetables. They are cheap. But for frozen and ten. They are just as

good in terms of nutritional quality. I know you will come back

later. How far are you in your five a day so far at this time of the

morning? One. I had a banana. OK. We will be back in two hours time to

see how far you have gone. We will talk now about words.

From "clicktivism" to "squad goals", more than 300 new words have been

added to the online version of the Oxford Dictionary,

which focuses on the way the English language is currently used.

Did you know those words? I know squad goals. That is aspirations you

share with your friends. Click to visit, I did not know.

Many are social media buzzwords, so how many of us really use them?

No. I have never heard of it. No idea. Could you hazard a guess?

Something to do with a laptop? We have got Freecycle. Is that one of

those bikes that kids have? Is it the free hire of bicycles? It is

where you advertise things that locally for people to come and take

away. Squad goals. If our training with your friends? No. Do you know

what squad goals la? Something to do with football? Something with the

whole team? The goals you have with people. With your squad. What you

are aiming for. And we already established that Stephanie knows a

lot more of those words than I do. Maybe because I'm younger? It is

difficult, you cannot keep up-to-date with all the words.

Coming up we have the headlines in just a few moments.

This is Breakfast, with Steph McGovern and Charlie

Coming up before 8am, we'll get the sport and the weather from Ben.

First, a summary of this morning's main news.

Motorists should think long and hard before buying a diesel car.

That's the message from the Transport Secretary Chris

He says people should consider a lower-emission vehicle instead.

His comments come as the government looks at ways to tackle air

Four in ten cars on Britain's roads are diesel.

topping all one we won't eat under any circumstances, but somebody has

said they would ban pineapple on pizza if they could!

His comments caused a social media storm in Iceland. He has since

released a statement saying he doesn't have the power to ban pizza

toppings and he is glad that that's the case. I'm a no tuna on pizza

person. I'm all for pineapple. Apparently what he then said, to

clarify, was that he does recommend seafood.

So the opposite of me. He is offering a recommendation, but

it's not becoming law. Mike, have you got a favourite?

I like them all, but I don't like goat's cheese. But I think pineapple

and seafood are great. Pineapple is one of the classics! He

isn't going to ban it. I'm outraged at the thought of it! I

I shed a tear for him and for football.

Leicester aren't back in action until Monday night.

To look ahead, let's talk to former Scotland captain

Andy Nichol, who joins us live from Edinburgh.

It has been ten years since Scotland last beat Wales, but could this be

the day after that fantastic win against Ireland? It has been a long

time coming and in that time there have been some fantastic games of

rugby and I expect that to happen again this afternoon. This is a

better Scotland site then there has been in ten years, so there are high

hopes that they can finally finished that losing streak against Wales.

Can Scotland cope without the five key players, including of course the

captain? It is a big loss, because he isn't just the captain, he is the

goal kicker and leader. It is a good opportunity for the young scrum-half

who has done really well for Glasgow this year. The goalkicking is being

taken over. So is the captaincy. There are other changes in the front

row. John Hardy has been brought in for a bit more physicality in the

back row. So the changes, it proves there is still a lot of strength and

depth in Scotland and it will be tested this afternoon. What have you

made of Wales? If you think about it, apart from poor clearance they

could have won their opening games. They were outstanding against

England and really raised their game. They always raise their game

in the Six Nations. It was full of intensity and passion. The challenge

for them is to replicate that away from home, here it is afternoon.

They are quality side. Real test match animals. They step up two

weeks ago and they will have to do that again this afternoon. It is

Charlie here. Steph was just saying to me, I hope you don't mind me

saying, you don't normally follow the rugby... Correct. For those who

don't normally follow the rugby, set the scene. Give us the passion of

that moment. Scotland against Wales. You are trying to draw people into

the occasion. It is an amazing occasion, an amazing atmosphere. It

is not just the 80 minutes of rugby, the whole weekend. Edinburgh is full

of Welsh fans who come up from Wednesday to Friday and go to the

same pub every two years when they are peer and it captures the whole

city. It is a brilliant occasion and the atmosphere will be rocking right

through the afternoon. The tension and passion will be there. When the

players come out from the tunnel the noise is huge and then the whistle

goes and we will have 80 minutes of fantastic rock the, hopefully.

That's me sold. Thank you! -- fantastic rugby.

And so much is riding on this one because of the situation in the

standings at the moment. Come 4:30pm this afternoon, whichever side has

lost, there will be disappointed as they will be out of the

championship. But the converse is true as well. Whoever wins is right

in the championship and if it is Scotland, obviously I hope it is,

they can go to Twickenham in two weeks with some confidence. Thank

you, Andy. In the women's tournament,

Scotland won their first Six Nations game in six years,

with a 15-14 win over Wales. It's the first time they have

beaten the Welsh in 30 meetings and they had

to seal the victory by a point. That was at the the Broadwood

stadium, just north of Glasgow. And this lunchtime sees the first

avoided a similar slump after their World

at one stage in the second half against Widnes,

but Wigan won 28-26 in the end. Leeds also left it

late to beat Salford, and there were also

wins for Huddersfield The promoted side are back in the

Breakfast from BBC News. People buying a new car are urged

by the Transport Secretary to think long and hard before choosing

a diesel, as the government looks The White House has barred several

major news organisations from a press briefing being given

by President Trump's spokesman. The BBC, along with CNN

and the New York Times, I think we should have a look at the

weekend weather forecast. It has been quite a week, and it seems to

have calmed down and beat. We won't see anything like Storm

Doris this weekend. But don't let that make you think it is plain

sailing, because there's still quite a lot going on. This picture painted

the scene beautifully. This is one for from our Weather Watcher in

Derbyshire. A pretty strong breeze. Blustery. Not as strong as the wind

was during Storm Doris, but still a blustery south-westerly wind and

with that we have this cloud pushing in across the country. That will

bring outbreaks of rain at times. Let's take a closer look. 9am,

through the Channel Islands and towards the south coast of England,

pretty cloudy for many and some glimmers of brightness in Kent and

Sussex. Some patchy rain here and there. The rain will be turning

heavier through the morning in Wales and north-west England, across

Cumbria, we will see a lot of rain, which will give poor travelling

conditions. A soggy start for Northern Ireland and Scotland. The

black arrows are the wind gusts. Easily gale force in exposed spots

and the beast of high ground in Scotland and east the Pennines. --

east. Through the day the rain will eventually clear from Northern

Ireland and Scotland. Just a few showers. The rain continues for

parts of north-west England and down into Wales. Getting into the

south-west. Patchy rain further south and east, where it will remain

mild. Cooling of the in Northern Ireland and Scotland. Overnight if

you are out and about it will be down, with patchy rain. Dry for a

tiny Northern Ireland and Scotland, but then here we go again. Wet

weather sliding in by the end of the night and that means tomorrow in

many ways it's a repeat performance. A fairly blustery day, close to the

weather front, which is sinking erratically southwards and

eastwards. The rain hanging on for quite awhile in Northern Ireland

certainly Scotland. The rain in the north-west England and again into

parts of Wales. Not as much rain in the south-east, where it will be

pretty mild. Cooler and fresher by the end of the day in the

north-west. Quite blustery showers as well. broadcast.

Not everyone, however, may be as responsible.
