Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
A BBC investigation reveals the scale of home | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
There have been more than 20,000 complaints of cruelty | :00:10. | :00:20. | |
and neglect over the past three years, but just 15 prosecutions. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
The Home Care industry says it's horrified by the findings. | :00:24. | :00:37. | |
Good morning, it's Tuesday 28th February. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Prison officers pull out of riot duty as they announce more | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
industrial action in England and Wales. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The Tunisian terror attack inquest comes to a close as one | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
of the heroes of Sousse tells Breakfast his story. | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
The first moon mission in more than 40 years. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
The US firm Space X announces plans to fly two tourists around the moon | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Good morning. When our free range eggs are not free range? Well, when | :01:05. | :01:21. | |
the hens are kept inside to stop them from getting bird flu. From | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
tomorrow, new labels will appear on your packs. I will have all the | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
details. It in sport, no problem for Leicester. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
The faltering Champions record their first Premier League | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
victory of 2017 with a 3-1 win over Liverpool. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Good morning. A cold start to the day with the risk of ice but for | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
many of us it is dry. However, showers in the West and through the | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
course of the day they will cross into England and Wales depositing | :01:52. | :01:52. | |
snow on the hills. A BBC investigation has revealed | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
there were more than 20,000 allegations of abuse made | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
against home care workers over Many of the cases involved neglect | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
but there were also allegations of physical, psychological | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
and sexual abuse. The UK Home Care Association has | :02:10. | :02:10. | |
described the findings as horrifying but warns the system | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
is under extreme pressure. Caught by a hidden camera, this man | :02:14. | :02:28. | |
was jailed for over two years abusing 85-year-old Dora in her own | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
home. These images are especially disturbing because he was supposed | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
to be caring for her. It is a serious case of obvious neglect. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
Complaints against home carers can cover a range of problems from stock | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
from cruelty to mistakes with medication to being late for | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
appointments. My father was quite a mild-mannered all his life. This | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
woman's father was also waived victim. He was filthy, dirty, | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
dishevelled. He had no teeth. He looked like a tramp. He had not had | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
a shave, he was a smart man and come completely neglected. Pauline | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
believes that neglect in particular when he was given the wrong | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
medication contributed to his death. Just over half the councils in the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
UK contacted by the BBC and today Freedom of information request which | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
found there had been 23.5 thousand allegations of abuse against home | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
carers over the past three years. The police were involved in almost | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
700 cases and there were 15 prosecutions. We do not know how | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
many of the total complaints were valid but the local government | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
ombudsman has seen a significant rise in cases. We have seen a 25% | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
increase in complaints about home-care over the last 12 months. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
When we investigated the complaints what we found is that 65% of the | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
time our investigation shows that there was fault in the. That is far | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
higher than we found in any other part of the world. It is a concern. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
The government says it has introduced tougher inspections and | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
given councils dedicated funding. But with an ageing population and | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
tight budgets the theory is that complaints will continue to rise. | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
You can hear more on that story, on File on four, on Radio 4 | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
The inquests into the deaths of 30 British tourists, | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
who were murdered by an Islamist gunman in Tunisia two years ago, | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
They were among 38 people killed near the resort of Sousse | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
At the hearing, at the Royal Courts of Justice, the coroner will explain | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
why he has rejected a request by many of the bereaved relatives | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
to rule that neglect contributed to their deaths. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Later this morning we'll be reporting live from Sousse and also | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
from outside the Royal Courts of Justice where those verdicts | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
A new wave of industrial action in jails in England and Wales | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
The Prison Officers' Association has told its members to withdraw | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
from voluntary duties in a dispute over pay and pensions. | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
The Government is thought to be considering taking | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
They are on the frontline of a Prison Service that is struggling to | :05:13. | :05:28. | |
control its jails. But prison officer numbers have fallen | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
dramatically with many prisons in England and Wales facing crisis over | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
the past few years. Among those in decline, this prison near | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Wolverhampton. In its latest inspection, increased violence | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
against staff and reports of inmates refusing to leave their cells | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
described as living in fear of other prisoners. It was concerns over | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
health and safety that led to a 24 hour walkout in November by | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
thousands of prison officers, prompting government talks over pay | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
and pension. Last week the Justice Secretary responded with a pay | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
increase for offices at 31 prisons. All of them inside East England. Now | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
the union has described the offer as divisive. So from tomorrow, members | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
are being instructed to withdraw from voluntary roles. That includes | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
working as a first aid, hostage negotiator or as part of a tornado | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
team, specially trained to deal with dangerous situations. There is also | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
to be a ban on overtime. The unions understand that it will be taken to | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
court action goes ahead. But if it does it will cause serious problems | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
in jails already facing huge pressure. | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
A blood test every four months could help women at high-risk | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
of ovarian cancer find tumours early, according to new research. | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
There is currently no screening programme for the disease, | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
so high-risk women are advised to have their ovaries | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
However, it is not yet clear if the regular blood test | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
Large numbers of children, most of them unaccompanied, | :06:59. | :07:10. | |
Private US aerospace company SpaceX has announced plans to fly two | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
paying passengers around the moon next year. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the pair had already paid a significant | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
deposit for the trip, which will be the first manned | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
mission to deep space in more than 40 years. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
It remains the pinnacle of human exploration, | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
but since this NASA Apollo 17 mission in 1972, nobody has | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
since made the 240,000 mile trip to the moon. | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
This is the committee that claims that is about to change. | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
SpaceX, the commercial US rocket company, has announced plans to send | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
two private citizens on a lunar journey | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
Their owner, the entrepreneur Elon Musk, tweeted | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
An astronomical journey like this comes with an astronomical pricetag | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
Mr Musk revealed little about the mystery travellers, | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
except that they had paid a significant deposit, | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
and were aware of all of the risks of human space travel. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
The 2018 deadline is ambitious, and SpaceX has had problems | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Last September, one of its rockets exploded on the launch | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
But it represents a new era of the space | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
race, with private companies, not | :08:38. | :08:38. | |
countries, competing against each other. | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
to the plans, which, if successful, will launch the era | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
we will have more on that throughout the morning for you. | :08:47. | :09:03. | |
More than one home every minute will need to be refurbished | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
if the UK is to meet its own laws on carbon emissions, | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
The Green Building Council says making draughty homes better | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
insulated will also save on bills and improve people's health. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
But as our environment analyst Roger Harrabin reports, | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Beneath your floorboards, one solution for a cold homes. A robot | :09:19. | :09:37. | |
lizard preparing to spread it warmth. Draughty homes push bills | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
up, harm health and increase carbon emissions from heating. This is | :09:45. | :09:54. | |
spray bop's Answerth. Filling up the cracks in floorboards with a layer | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
of foam insulation. Energy bills for a standard terraced home are upwards | :10:03. | :10:12. | |
of ?1500 a year. Not this one. It is insulated and its wall is fatter | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
than that of its neighbour. Inside, they are testing the upgraded house | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
for drafts and cold spots. I'm really concerned about climate | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
change. I wanted to make my house more comfortable, easier to control | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
the heating and I believe I am going to save around 80%, heating bill. | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
Here is the scale of the inflation challenge. To meet its own law on | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
reducing carbon emission, the government needs to get 25 million | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
existing homes upgraded by 2050. That is over one home every minute. | :10:47. | :11:01. | |
It is chilly outside. But spare a thought for people waking up to | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
this. Record breaking amounts of snow | :11:04. | :11:03. | |
have fallen in the city The blizzard saw a burst of 30 | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
to 40 cm of snow fall It peaked in the capital at 51 cm | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
that's just over 20 inches. Only once in history | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
has this been topped, when snowfall in the city reached | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
55 cm in January 1937. Public transport ground to a halt | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
as all roads leading out That is a lot of snow. Look at those | :11:22. | :11:38. | |
dogs in joining. But as one of the greatest games ever, throwing a | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
snowball at a dog. We would not move for a week if we had that much snow. | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Exactly. Sally has all the sport | :11:50. | :11:49. | |
this morning now. Isn't it interesting? I would love | :11:50. | :12:00. | |
to know what goes on in the mind of the players. How do Leicester | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
managed to put in a performance like they did last night when they | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
outplayed Liverpool. We have that performance being? So we hear all | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
sorts of things about discontent in the dressing room. Jamie of ideas | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
back on form, it is almost like they were telling us something. Do you | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
think, maybe? They had a point to prove. So much guff over the past | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
few days. Leicester City won their first | :12:26. | :12:26. | |
Premier League match of 2017, They beat Liverpool 3-1 last night, | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
and it's enough to lift them out World Rugby say it's "too early | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
to speculate" whether there will be a rule change after Italy's tactics | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
in their Six Nations defeat There was confusion amongst | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
the England players during the game with Italy's calculated plan | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
frustrating head coach Eddie Jones. David Haye and Tony Bellew had to be | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
kept apart as they met in Liverpool ahead of their heavyweight | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
clash on Saturday. The pair came to blows | :12:59. | :12:59. | |
when they last met at a press And triple Olympic rowing champion | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
Andrew Triggs-Hodge has retired. He was part of the Great Britain | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
crews that won gold in the coxless fours in Beijing and London, | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
before helping the men's eight That is all from me. What a dramatic | :13:14. | :13:33. | |
pause. I thought we were just give him his moment, enjoy the pictures | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
of him. First of all let's catch up on the weather. How will it be, | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
Carol? Chilly for some of us. This morning temperatures are below | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
freezing so we're looking at the risk of ice in some parts where we | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
have that scenario and we also have damp surfaces. There is sunshine | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
forecast. Another chilly and blustery day. We are surrounded by | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
areas of low pressure. No high pressure inside and that tells you | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
that the weather will still be quite unsettled. What we have at the | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
moment is the risk of ice as mentioned but she was coming in from | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
the west. Some will be wintry, especially on the higher ground. If | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
you see any wintry weather it will be isolated and will not last very | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
long as temperatures rise. In southern England, through the | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
Midlands towards the east a lot of dry weather this morning. The | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
Sunrise will see sunshine and you can see a couple of showers floating | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
with the south-east coastline. More cloud at times across the east of | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Scotland. Not as sunny. Through the course of the day all of the showers | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
out towards the west, this is the remnants of the last storm, it will | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
move out of Northern Ireland into northern England and across Wales in | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
the southern counties. Again we will see Hill snow across the Pennines. | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
Not a bad day across Scotland and we will see bright conditions out | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
towards the west. Temperatures are nothing to write home about. We are | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
looking at between six and nine degrees at best. Then as we had | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
through the evening and overnight there goes the frontal system taking | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
the batch of rain with it. Behind it there is another one coming in on | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
its hills. As producing showers but like today we will see a bit of a | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
longer spell of rain. And once again it will be a cold night. These are | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
the temperatures in the towns and cities. In the rural areas it will | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
be lower than this. Of course if you have damp surfaces again there is | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
the risk of some ice to watch out for. Then tomorrow, well, a chilly | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
star but a bright one for many. There will be sunshine around but we | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
do have weather fronts coming in from the south-west. The northern | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
extent of these are still open to a little bit of questioning. This is | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
what we think at the moment. Behind its cloud brightening up in the | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
south-west. Ahead of it, not a bad day but there will be showers | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
around. Temperatures between five, six and seven in the north we are | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
starting to pull in some mild air behind it. Colder everytime and you | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
may find some snow. Again, that will be on the high ground. As we heading | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
towards the end of the week at the outlook remains a fairly unsettled. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Sunshine and some showers. So typical weather to this time of | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
year. Typical and a little bit of everything. Thank you, Carol. | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
Much of the papers are dominated by the Oscars fallout. I will start | :16:27. | :16:37. | |
out. We were talking about this yesterday. We were trying to get to | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
the bottom of who was responsible for mixing up the envelopes. They | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
had to make people in charge. They had duplicate sets. It is this man, | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
Brian, and I do not know him, but he seems unhappy. Fingers are pointing | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
at him, that he was the one that handed over the erroneous envelope. | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
He is quite well-known social media. Various reactions to that moment. | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
Different reactions of celebrities. Ryan Gosling has that good reaction | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
the moment he realises his movie has not won. And Emma Stone got Best | :17:25. | :17:36. | |
Actress. And BBC chief savages TV licence bullies. Tony Hall tried to | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
get to the bottom of a scandal. And this grandmother, 52, who lost her | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
ability to stay in Britain after caring for her grandparents abroad. | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
She had lived here for 30 years with her husband. Donald Trump is giving | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
a speech today and there is a lot of excitement about it. He might talk | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
about an increase in US military spending. This story on the Times | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
which we will talk about. Motorists stung by a rise in insurance. And | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
these people look happier here, Brian, from the firm in charge of | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
making sure everyone gets the right envelope. They are taking the full | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
blame for the Best Picture faux pas. What have you got? I will talk about | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
a particular player. If any of us had a 10th of his confidence, we | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
will do well in life. The big Swede. Yes. He says I am an animal. I feel | :18:49. | :19:00. | |
like a lion. A lion is born a lion. I look good, and I know I look good. | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
If we could only take a little bit of that into whatever we are going | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
to do today, I feel like we will have a good day. That is what Louis | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
says before we go live every morning. Good morning, you are | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
watching BBC Breakfast. Talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, how names | :19:20. | :19:29. | |
shape our faces. Choosing a name for a child could be more crucial than | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
is previously thought. It changes the way you look, OK? This is their | :19:34. | :19:42. | |
argument. They call it the Dorian Gray effect. Bobs ar jovial and Tims | :19:43. | :19:57. | |
have thinner faces and studious and conscientious nature. Is that | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
because how were called shapes how we grow up. Catherine is supposed to | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
be more serious and dependable. At least more than a Bonny. Thankful we | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
have not got a Bonny in the studio today. I don't think I believe it. | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
Thank you. 6:20. This is BBC Breakfast. Another main story. | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
The inquests into the deaths of 30 British tourists who were murdered | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
in a terror attack in Tunisia two years ago | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
The coroner at the hearing heard that local policemen did nothing | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
to stop the gunman for at least 25 minutes, but in an exclusive | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
interview with the BBC ahead of the verdict, | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
a British witness has described how he intervened to save some of those | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
This is the gunman casually walking along the beach by the Imperial | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
hotel in the midst of the attack. Trained by so-called Islamic State, | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
and unchallenged by the police, he systematically murdered 38 | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
holidaymakers, most were British. Today, Alan Pembroke leads a normal | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
life, working at this London company. But he was on the beach at | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
the time of that attack, and did something quite extraordinary, | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
running back into the scene the attack after taking his wife to the | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
safety of their hotel. I ran towards the gunfire, where I could now see | :21:36. | :21:47. | |
bodies on the beach. I hit the deck, and as I hit the sand, I saw a lady, | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
semiconscious, breathing, and she had some severe gunshot wounds. I | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
dressed her hand and covered her wrist with a scarf I had pulled down | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
for they each umbrella. She then told me she had been in her leg and | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
she had a hole in her leg, so I got a beach towel and I wrapped it | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
around her leg to compress the injury and stop the bleeding. His | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
actions saved the life of Sarah, whose husband lay dead beside her. | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
But he is wanted by what he saw and angry at the failure of the Tunisian | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
police to intervene in time. I was on the beach for a good 20 minutes | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
with her alone. And I saw no military or medical staff. It is | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
only in recent reports that I found out police fainted and hid. You | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
know, that is unforgivable. They need to be held accountable for | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
that. Just three months earlier, foreign tourists were targeted in an | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
attack by Islamic extremists, leaving 20 dead, in Tunis. But they | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
did not change their overall travel advice. The colour-coded map for | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
travel advice remained green for the coastal areas, so tourists could | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
still go, even though the Foreign Office was warning of a high risk of | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
foreign terrorism. The senior official told the inquest hear that | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
the criteria had not been met to stop tourists from travelling to | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
coastal resorts in Tunisia. Several survivors gave testimony that the | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
warning was not passed on of terrorist attacks, and instead they | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
were told it was safe to go. Their evidence is disputed. Today, the | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
families will finally hear the conclusions of the coroners at the | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
end of this long inquest. Richard Galpin, BBC News, the court. | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
Today is Shrove Tuesday, or as many hungry people now refer | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
If you want to impress your friends and family, then sugar and lemon | :24:09. | :24:20. | |
We asked a chef, Andrew Nutter, for his tips on taking pancake | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
We are talking pancake art. You want to take your normal pancake mix you | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
have left over from before. Add a few drops of food colouring. Put a | :24:33. | :24:44. | |
red, a blue, and basically the normal pancake mixture. Then pipe it | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
into your pan. It really depends how creative you want to be with this. | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
Make a nice flower pattern. You can see as we are working on the stove | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
it slowly starts to set. Obviously, you can eat them all year round, but | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
you really need to get them out on Shrove Tuesday. You don't want the | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
heat too high because the colours will go brown straightaway. Almost | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
there. Almost there. Pancake art. There you go. And here is one for | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
you guys in the studio. BBC Breakfast is! Waa hey! That was | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
nice. I bet you make a nice pancake. I love them, yes. I need to try | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
that. I have an issue. Wine, there is not enough pancake. I agree. And | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
the maple syrup will fall through that. There is no holding power! It | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
is still worth a try. What is your secret to the perfect banker? We | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
would love to see your tips. Are you already making them this morning? I | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
bet you are. And if you are planning to pick up some aides, have a look | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
at this, you might notice this little sticker. -- eggs. It says | :26:09. | :26:18. | |
housed in barns for their welfare. Ben can tell us why. Good morning. | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
We are planning to sell millions of these today. Plenty of pancakes will | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
be made. We are in an ref. A new system comes into force today for | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
labelling. We are at a processing and packaging factory in Penrith. | :26:36. | :26:45. | |
Everything you see in this room will be in the supermarkets by tomorrow. | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
Let me put that one back before I break it. You are right. They all | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
have new labels. These are going on the boxes from tomorrow. That is | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
because the birds have been housed inside for three weeks. They have | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
been housed in barns to protect them from avian flu. They are free range, | :27:07. | :27:14. | |
but Canberra really they are not. I will find out what it means for | :27:15. | :27:16. | |
shoppers and farmers. We'll bring you all the latest news | :27:17. | :30:41. | |
and sport in a moment, Hello, this is Breakfast, | :30:42. | :30:53. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. It's the news schoolchildren | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
have been waiting for - spending more time playing in class | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
could be good for you! We'll have details on new research | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
which says playful learning leads Where will you be going | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
on holiday next year? We'll have more on the two people | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
planning to go that extra mile by becoming the first humans | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
to journey into deep space Scientists say a blood test every | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
four months could spot signs We'll speak to a leading doctor | :31:19. | :31:24. | |
about the findings in the next hour. But now a summary of this | :31:25. | :31:30. | |
morning's main news. A BBC investigation has revealed | :31:31. | :31:35. | |
there were more than 20,000 allegations of abuse made | :31:36. | :31:38. | |
against home care workers over Many of the cases involved neglect | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
but there were also allegations of physical, psychological | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
and sexual abuse. The UK Home Care Association has | :31:47. | :31:50. | |
described the findings as horrifying, but says the system | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
is under extreme pressure. I think the system is absolutely a | :31:54. | :32:09. | |
breaking point. We see a number of home-care providers going out of the | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
market altogether because they cannot make it work. Something has | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
to happen and it has to happen fast or I am afraid we will see | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
vulnerable people actually not get the service and support that they | :32:21. | :32:22. | |
the service and support that they need. | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
The inquests into the deaths of 30 British tourists, | :32:26. | :32:27. | |
who were murdered by an Islamist gunman in Tunisia two years ago, | :32:28. | :32:31. | |
They were among 38 people killed near the resort of Sousse. | :32:32. | :32:35. | |
At the hearing, at the Royal Courts of Justice, the coroner will explain | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
why he has rejected a request by many of the bereaved relatives | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
to rule that neglect contributed to their deaths. | :32:43. | :32:44. | |
The Prison Officers' Association has announced more industrial action | :32:45. | :32:46. | |
Members are being told to withdraw from voluntary duties in a pay | :32:47. | :32:52. | |
An overtime ban will also be phased in from April. | :32:53. | :32:56. | |
It's understood the union has been warned it will be taken to court | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
Government departments have been asked to find further budget cuts | :33:02. | :33:07. | |
of up to 6%, to begin taking effect in just over two years. | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
The Treasury has written to every department in Whitehall as part | :33:12. | :33:14. | |
of its plan to find ?3.5 billion of savings, | :33:15. | :33:16. | |
in the year before the next general election. | :33:17. | :33:19. | |
One billion pounds of this will be re-allocated | :33:20. | :33:21. | |
Large numbers of children, most of them unaccompanied, | :33:22. | :33:34. | |
A blood test every four months could help women at high-risk | :33:35. | :33:37. | |
of ovarian cancer find tumours early, according to new research. | :33:38. | :33:40. | |
There is currently no screening programme for the disease, | :33:41. | :33:42. | |
so high-risk women are advised to have their ovaries | :33:43. | :33:44. | |
However, it is not yet clear if the regular blood test | :33:45. | :33:48. | |
Private US aerospace company SpaceX has announced plans to fly two | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
paying passengers around the moon next year. | :33:53. | :33:54. | |
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the unnamed pair knew each other | :33:55. | :33:57. | |
and had already paid a significant deposit but were not celebrities. | :33:58. | :34:00. | |
If successful, the trip will be the first manned mission to deep | :34:01. | :34:03. | |
There are so many things to point out there. There will be nobody | :34:04. | :34:17. | |
else, just the pair of them. What happens if something goes wrong? I | :34:18. | :34:24. | |
am sure they will be OK. There must be an insurance policy. I would love | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
to know how much that cost. I think virgin Galactic will have six on | :34:29. | :34:34. | |
their ship with two pilots and damp charged a quarter of a million per | :34:35. | :34:40. | |
ticket. If I had trillions, I still wouldn't go. Oh, come on. There is | :34:41. | :34:48. | |
no place for you then on the Enterprise with Captain Kirk. Would | :34:49. | :34:57. | |
you go into space? No, no. Do you enjoy life on the sofa too much? We | :34:58. | :35:07. | |
will be happy here. Do not worry. Now how about Leicester and their | :35:08. | :35:14. | |
remarkable performance? Something clicked after losing the coach of | :35:15. | :35:19. | |
the year as their boss. I don't know, the striker started | :35:20. | :35:22. | |
performing, there is a wonder goal. Let's have a look. | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
In their first game since sacking manager Claudio Ranieri, | :35:27. | :35:29. | |
Leicester City returned to winning ways with a 3-1 win over Liverpool. | :35:30. | :35:32. | |
The reigning champions earned their first league win | :35:33. | :35:34. | |
of 2017 and climbed out of the relegation zone | :35:35. | :35:36. | |
Danny Drinkwater scored the pick of the goals while Jamie Vardy - | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
much criticised for his form this season - scored twice. | :35:41. | :35:44. | |
I think there has been a lot of unfair stuff written lately and I | :35:45. | :35:51. | |
think you have seen a reaction from everyone. It was not about me | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
personally was about most of the squad and like they say it has | :35:56. | :36:01. | |
gotten us fired up in a good way to put a reaction on the pitch which we | :36:02. | :36:03. | |
a reaction on the pitch which we have done. | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
It is not the first time that a team has changed management. An | :36:07. | :36:11. | |
especially after what everybody said about the league and the | :36:12. | :36:14. | |
responsibility of the players, a display what had to happen. But you | :36:15. | :36:18. | |
could have done much better and that is the only thing. It is not | :36:19. | :36:21. | |
Leicester from last year. We let them be Leicester from last year and | :36:22. | :36:23. | |
that is our fault. World Rugby say it's "too early | :36:24. | :36:25. | |
to speculate" whether there will be a rule change after Italy's unusual | :36:26. | :36:28. | |
tactics in their Six Nations defeat It caused confusion for some England | :36:29. | :36:32. | |
players during the game after Italy chose not to contest at the break | :36:33. | :36:36. | |
down, which meant their players were free to be in area | :36:37. | :36:39. | |
normally considered offside. So no specific rule change coming, | :36:40. | :36:48. | |
according to World Rugby. Boxers Tony Bellew David Haye | :36:49. | :36:52. | |
were kept apart as they held a press conference ahead of their | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
heavyweight clash on Saturday There is a lot of flash photography | :36:57. | :36:58. | |
coming up. After an altercation between the two | :36:59. | :37:01. | |
at a press conference in November, the pair had security placed | :37:02. | :37:04. | |
between them as they exchanged some frank words in Bellew's | :37:05. | :37:07. | |
home city of Liverpool. I mean... If you are a security | :37:08. | :37:15. | |
guard, would that not be the worst job ever come to stand in front of | :37:16. | :37:19. | |
the box a question but let's see what they had to say. I can not | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
afford to lose any fight, particularly this one. He is the | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
will world champion in the way below me. It is not about winning this | :37:27. | :37:32. | |
fight, it is about the manner in which I wind. I need to wind it in | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
the most devastating manner possible. It does not want to get | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
close to me, it does not want to be in proximity to me because I am | :37:41. | :37:45. | |
unpredictable and I make him nervous. I intimidate him because... | :37:46. | :37:52. | |
I am not saying he is scared of me but what intimidate him is that it | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
does not know what I am going to do. He has no idea of what I am going to | :37:57. | :38:01. | |
do or say which is even worse for him. | :38:02. | :38:01. | |
With the return of Formula 1 just under a month away, | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
the drivers have had the chance to put their new cars | :38:05. | :38:07. | |
through their paces And for new Mercedes team-mates | :38:08. | :38:10. | |
Valterri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton it was a successful | :38:11. | :38:12. | |
The pair recording nearly 150 laps in the same car, | :38:13. | :38:16. | |
with Hamilton coming out quickest on the day. | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
Andy Murray will feature in his first tournament | :38:21. | :38:22. | |
since the Australian Open later today. | :38:23. | :38:24. | |
He is back to full fitness after a bout of shingles. | :38:25. | :38:27. | |
Roger Federer is also featuring at the Dubai Championships. | :38:28. | :38:29. | |
He is through to the second round, dropping just four games in beating | :38:30. | :38:32. | |
Frenchman Benoit Paire in straight sets. | :38:33. | :38:41. | |
Roger loves the conditions here. They are fairly quick and, also, he | :38:42. | :38:48. | |
spent a lot of time training here in these conditions. Over the years, he | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
feels comfortable here and, yeah, it is a great success. I think he has | :38:53. | :38:57. | |
won this seven times. It is not easy to play against him here. | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
And with a little under a year to go before the start | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
of the Winter Olympics in Pyonchang, in South Korea. | :39:06. | :39:07. | |
Meet Soohorang - the official mascot. | :39:08. | :39:09. | |
He is a white tiger, who has strong links with Korean | :39:10. | :39:12. | |
The white tiger is seen as a guardian who helped protect | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
And I imagine you'll be seeing lots more of Soohorang before it all gets | :39:19. | :39:26. | |
I wonder if they will use the track at White tied up -- taiga. I am sure | :39:27. | :39:41. | |
somebody is writing that idea down right now. I think our beautiful BBC | :39:42. | :39:50. | |
breakfast public will be with me on that one about going into space. I | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
think we should ask them. The International Space Station is 240 | :39:57. | :40:05. | |
miles away. Is that all? The moon is 240,000 miles away. That is a proper | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
trip. Come on, you two. Lift your games. There are so many other | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
things I would rather do, like swim with jellyfish. Imagine telling your | :40:16. | :40:21. | |
friends that you are off to the moon for your holidays. But you don't | :40:22. | :40:26. | |
even stay there. You just fly past and come back. I love your spirit of | :40:27. | :40:35. | |
adventure but you can keep it. Both of you are immensely disappointing. | :40:36. | :40:38. | |
Let's bring you up some of the other stories today. | :40:39. | :40:38. | |
The number of child migrants risking their lives to cross | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
the Mediterranean Sea to Europe doubled last year to almost 26,000, | :40:42. | :40:44. | |
with nine in every ten of them making the perilous journey alone. | :40:45. | :40:47. | |
Now a report by UNICEF has revealed the shocking conditions they left | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
behind in detention camps in northern Libya. | :40:52. | :40:53. | |
Let's talk now to Unicef's Lily Caprani who joins us | :40:54. | :40:55. | |
Thank you so much for joining us. It's a little bit about these camps | :40:56. | :41:07. | |
and what conditions are like? That is right. This survey that UNICEF | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
has just carried out has shown just how horrific some of the conditions | :41:12. | :41:14. | |
are that these women and children, many of them, are leaving behind. | :41:15. | :41:19. | |
Some of them have been fleeing conflict around the region that they | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
are from. Some are seeking a better life. What we know is that by the | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
time they pass through Libya and try to reach Europe many of them have | :41:28. | :41:30. | |
suffered horrible exploitation, abuse in some cases. Women and | :41:31. | :41:33. | |
children are being raped along the way. And by the time we managed to | :41:34. | :41:38. | |
get to some of these women and children they are incredibly | :41:39. | :41:41. | |
traumatised and have been through an awful experience. We see some of | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
those pictures from the camps in Libya. Tell us a little bit about | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
who is running these camps? Are they official camps? What we know is that | :41:52. | :41:56. | |
there is a lack of safe and legal ways for people to use this | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
migration route through northern Africa and the central | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
Mediterranean. As a result, most of the route is controlled by | :42:05. | :42:07. | |
traffickers who prey on very vulnerable people who are desperate | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
either to get away from conflict or to seek a better life somewhere. | :42:13. | :42:15. | |
They take advantage of that. We know that many of them, for example, use | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
a pay-as-you-go scheme where it promises made of a better life | :42:20. | :42:22. | |
somewhere else and some muggy changes hands by Hull along the way | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
women and children are told that they are now in debt to be and how | :42:27. | :42:31. | |
to earn back that debt by doing things like being sold for | :42:32. | :42:34. | |
prostitution or exploited for forced labour. It really is like a modern | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
form of slavery. I understand that some of the child interviewees were | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
born in Libya during their mother's migration journey. So they have | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
spent their lifetime on this journey. That is correct. When a | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
mother flees from, let's say, conflict or violence in her country | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
of origin or start is the migration journey, particularly if is being | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
trafficked, she may literally be doing a pay-as-you-go arrangement | :43:03. | :43:05. | |
and moving from place to another and it can take a long time. Along the | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
way at all sorts of things can happen to these women and we know, | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
unfortunately, one of the things experience is rape and abuse. Some | :43:14. | :43:16. | |
of the women that we have interviewed for this survey to be | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
published today have been forcibly injected with contraceptives to | :43:21. | :43:23. | |
prevent them from becoming pregnant when they are inevitably raped on | :43:24. | :43:26. | |
their journey. Some happen. Unfortunately many of them are | :43:27. | :43:31. | |
suffering that routinely on their journey. By the time they arrive, | :43:32. | :43:36. | |
and many are trying to cross to Italy, they require a lot of | :43:37. | :43:40. | |
psychological support, as you can imagine. There is no easy answer to | :43:41. | :43:43. | |
solve this but what do you think, you have published this report, what | :43:44. | :43:48. | |
do you want out of it? I think there are two fingered F. In order to make | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
this migration route much safer we have to tackle the smugglers in the | :43:53. | :43:56. | |
traffickers. They are criminal gangs who control these written exploit | :43:57. | :44:00. | |
vulnerable. That is an international community job. We need to co-operate | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
to when this modern slavery. The other thing that particularly the UK | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
government could be doing is that there are a number of children, are | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
especially vulnerable unaccompanied children who are now stranded in | :44:12. | :44:16. | |
Europe. Some of them are refugees in some of them have been trafficked. | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
Some of them, probably, have a legal claim to be protected by the United | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
Kingdom. But the system to protect them is not working very well at the | :44:24. | :44:27. | |
moment. One thing that the UK can do is to make sure that we are the very | :44:28. | :44:32. | |
least offer safe and legal routes for children who do have a legal | :44:33. | :44:35. | |
claim to protection, who are stranded in Europe right now, who | :44:36. | :44:40. | |
have an uncertain future. Thank you very | :44:41. | :44:48. | |
Let us find out about the weather. Unsettled. Top of the class. That is | :44:49. | :44:56. | |
the forecast for the next few days, including today. We can start off by | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
saying it is a cold start. Temperatures widely across the UK | :45:02. | :45:09. | |
between -2 and two. In the Grampians, six. Watch out for highs | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
on untreated surfaces. You may have to scrape your windscreen this | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
morning. We are surrounded by areas of low pressure. No high pressure in | :45:20. | :45:26. | |
sight. Across northern and eastern Scotland, a beautiful start to the | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
day. Watch out for the ice in the west. Showers in Northern Ireland | :45:31. | :45:33. | |
coming across south-west Scotland and into England. Higher ground, | :45:34. | :45:39. | |
wintry. Lower levels, the odd snowflake. It should not be | :45:40. | :45:44. | |
problematic and temperatures will rise and it will not last. The rest | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
of England and Wales, variable cloud. Some sunshine. The odd | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
shower. Through the day, the showers in western Scotland will be on and | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
off. Rain in Northern Ireland will continue to push out of it, moving | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
into northern England, heading through Wales, and down on to the | :46:04. | :46:06. | |
south-west and eventually the Midlands. Eastern areas hang on to | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
the driest conditions. Parts of Scotland hang on to the sunniest | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
conditions through the day. Later, sunshine coming through south-west | :46:15. | :46:17. | |
England, south-west Wales, and parts of Northern Ireland. A breezy day. | :46:18. | :46:22. | |
Gales in the north-west coast of Wales especially. That will take the | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
edge off the temperatures and exacerbate the cold. Overnight, | :46:28. | :46:33. | |
weather fronts crossing us and producing showers. Some will be | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
wintry in their hills. Once again, there is the risk of ice where we | :46:38. | :46:45. | |
have low temperatures. These temperatures are indicative of towns | :46:46. | :46:54. | |
and cities in England and Wales. In rural areas, lower. Highs and dry | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
weather on Wednesday. In the south-west, rain going this way. We | :46:59. | :47:04. | |
could see some snow coming out of that. Mostly in the higher ground. | :47:05. | :47:10. | |
The odd flake at lower levels. Behind that, cloud around. Milder | :47:11. | :47:17. | |
air coming in. Ahad of that, it will be nippy. As we go into Thursday, it | :47:18. | :47:31. | |
will be quite breezy. The unsettled theme we were talking about at the | :47:32. | :47:34. | |
start continues through Thursday, Friday, and also through the | :47:35. | :47:40. | |
weekend. Take your umbrella with you. That is the best advice I can | :47:41. | :47:44. | |
give you. A bit of everything. Thank you very much, Carol. I thought you | :47:45. | :47:50. | |
were going to ask her if she was going to go to the moon with you. | :47:51. | :47:56. | |
How about going with me to the moon? The EU fancy it? Or by yourself. -- | :47:57. | :48:06. | |
do you. Actually, I think I am washing my air. Maybe it is just me. | :48:07. | :48:15. | |
Millions of UK eggs are about to temporarily | :48:16. | :48:18. | |
lose their free-range status because of what's happening | :48:19. | :48:20. | |
You may notice stickers appearing on egg boxes in the shops. | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
Ben's at a free-range egg business in Cumbria to explain. | :48:25. | :48:27. | |
Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. We are mesmerised by this | :48:28. | :48:36. | |
machine this morning. The millions of eggs that pass through this place | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
every day. Changes come into force later today. You will start to see | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
things differently. On the boxes, there is a blue label. Even though | :48:46. | :48:51. | |
the eggs are free range, they will have to have this label to explain | :48:52. | :48:57. | |
that the eggs and the hands have had to be kept inside. -- hens. That is | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
to protect them from avian bird flu. They have to change them because of | :49:03. | :49:09. | |
this technicality. You can see that the eggs come on and then you may be | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
able to see that purple and pink flashing light. That is a camera | :49:15. | :49:21. | |
that photographs the eggs and checks for faults in them before they are | :49:22. | :49:29. | |
sold. How significant is bird flu? What could it mean for businesses | :49:30. | :49:32. | |
and certainly what could it mean for places like this one? Good morning. | :49:33. | :49:37. | |
How significant is the outbreak of bird flu? It is a particularly nasty | :49:38. | :49:44. | |
strain in the UK with the potential to kill birds. We have talked about | :49:45. | :49:48. | |
them being held in barns and not being able to go outside. Why is | :49:49. | :49:53. | |
that important? It gives them away from wild birds and wild bird | :49:54. | :49:59. | |
droppings. The risk is from overseas birds coming in. They will | :50:00. | :50:06. | |
contaminate birds and the hens that would lay the eggs. How does it | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
work? Do you keep them in a barn and that is it? Yes. It keeps them from | :50:12. | :50:17. | |
close contact. It is important for those who keep the chickens do have | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
good biosecurity and they don't take the infection inside. Look at the | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
website to see what you should be doing. Thank you very much. As you | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
heard, it means they have had to label things differently because | :50:32. | :50:36. | |
they have had to change the process. Let us talk to David. The production | :50:37. | :50:41. | |
line means you have to do something different and these labels will | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
appear. What does it mean? It is simple. Add a few extra labels to | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
the boxes. It informs people what is going on. The egg industry has had | :50:51. | :50:56. | |
ups and downs but it is doing well. Has this come into consideration? | :50:57. | :51:02. | |
Disasters are just something we have to get around. We are keeping them | :51:03. | :51:07. | |
alive while influenza is about. Customers will understand that and | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
hopefully there is no problems with our business. We have talked about | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
some egg facts early on, how many you deal with every day and how many | :51:18. | :51:22. | |
will go to the supermarkets tomorrow. The appetite is certainly | :51:23. | :51:27. | |
going and going and growing further. We have 8- 9 billion eggs going | :51:28. | :51:34. | |
through the UK every year. It is good protein. All of the eggs on the | :51:35. | :51:40. | |
production line over here will end up in the shops tomorrow. They are | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
coming through here. I will put his back on the production line and they | :51:46. | :51:49. | |
will be in the shops and the supermarkets by tomorrow. So I will | :51:50. | :51:52. | |
see you later. Many people will be using them for pancakes today. It is | :51:53. | :52:03. | |
mesmerising, that sucker thing. I got a lot of time for that. | :52:04. | :52:05. | |
The quality and creativity of primary school pupil's writing | :52:06. | :52:08. | |
is improved by halving the time they spend using conventional | :52:09. | :52:10. | |
teaching methods and replacing it with play based learning. | :52:11. | :52:13. | |
That's according to a group of leading academics from Cambridge | :52:14. | :52:15. | |
They're publishing a new Handbook for Teachers, advising how | :52:16. | :52:18. | |
the playful approach to writing can help their pupils. | :52:19. | :52:20. | |
Breakfast's Tim Muffett's been to a primary school | :52:21. | :52:23. | |
in Cambridgeshire to see the new approach in action. | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
Let us start the story. Once upon a time, three schools took part in an | :52:29. | :52:37. | |
experiment to let children play more during lessons with construction | :52:38. | :52:44. | |
toys. And the fish did actually jump into the top of the trees. The idea | :52:45. | :52:52. | |
of Cambridgeshire university's Dr Whitebread. Children struggle to | :52:53. | :52:59. | |
become effective writers. What has not been tried before is adopting a | :53:00. | :53:05. | |
playful approach. In one academic year, 90 children aged seven, eight, | :53:06. | :53:11. | |
and nine, did half as much traditional learning as usual in | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
writing and story lessons. Instead, they spent that time playing, which | :53:16. | :53:20. | |
reconstructing stories, then writing about them. Fantastic ideas... One | :53:21. | :53:30. | |
year later, improvements in spelling, punctuation, and grammar, | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
were broadly the same as those who had not taken part, but... What is | :53:34. | :53:38. | |
important is that they have developed ideas and learned how to | :53:39. | :53:43. | |
put them in the right order and organise their stories. The children | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
in the project seemed to make an unusual amount of progress. It is | :53:49. | :53:52. | |
right because it gives me better ideas of what to write about. In the | :53:53. | :54:00. | |
dark, gloomy, deadly land of the dead, skeletons walk around with all | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
their different facial expressions. It gives us more ideas. One of the | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
things I found with using a more playful approach is the emotional | :54:10. | :54:15. | |
investment. It is created through generating that. You get children | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
who really care about the model they have created from their planning. | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
And even reluctant writers are far more enthusiastic to get on. Barhill | :54:24. | :54:31. | |
Primary in Cambridge has now adopted this permanently and what more | :54:32. | :54:37. | |
schools to have a go. They are making a new Handbook for Teachers. | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
You can use models and construction toys. Funding for the Cambridge | :54:42. | :54:48. | |
study came from a toy brick study. -- company. But play -based | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
education has been launched many times. It improves involvement in | :54:55. | :54:59. | |
learning. We find evidence, actually, for those schools that | :55:00. | :55:04. | |
implement it well, there are schools that do better. The downsides within | :55:05. | :55:08. | |
addressing inequalities with boys and girls, there is advantages and | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
disadvantages, it hasn't impacted that. But many practitioners would | :55:12. | :55:21. | |
advise it. Back in Cambridge, Barhill School is now using | :55:22. | :55:24. | |
construction -based play in science. Other subjects could follow. This | :55:25. | :55:26. | |
has only just started. I think that is a great idea. Play | :55:27. | :55:39. | |
is something great that we forget in this day and age how brilliant it | :55:40. | :55:43. | |
is. And what we learn from it as well. We are back to pancakes. Send | :55:44. | :55:52. | |
in your pictures of pancakes on Pancake Day this morning. You are | :55:53. | :55:55. | |
watching Breakfast. Still to come. George Freeman has apologised after | :55:56. | :55:59. | |
his comments on anxiety caused a storm yesterday. But what is really | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
like to live with the condition? We will hear from TV personality, Anna | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
Williamson, about anxiety and the attacks that threatens to end her | :56:09. | :56:10. | |
career. Quite right, too. That's it. I'm | :56:11. | :59:50. | |
back in half an hour with the next update. I hope you can join me then. | :59:51. | :59:52. | |
Goodbye. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :59:53. | :00:02. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. A BBC investigation | :00:03. | :00:07. | |
reveals the scale of home Councils have received thousands | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
of complaints about cruelty and neglect, but there's been just | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
a handful of prosecutions. The Home Care industry says it's | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
horrified by the findings. Good morning, it's | :00:16. | :00:35. | |
Tuesday 28th February. Government departments are asked | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
to find savings of up to 6%. prisoners officers pull out of riot | :00:38. | :00:58. | |
duty as they announce a new wave of action in England and Wales. The | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
first space mission in over 40 years. Good morning. When is a free | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
range a it not a free rain to aid? When the box has a label like this. | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
This tells you that hills would captain 5/12 weeks to protect them | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
from bird flu. What difference will that make for business? I'm here to | :01:25. | :01:25. | |
find out. In sport, no Ranieri, | :01:26. | :01:26. | |
no problem for Leicester City. The faltering Champions | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
record their first Premier League victory of 2017 with a 3-1 | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
win over Liverpool. Good morning. For many of us it is a | :01:32. | :01:43. | |
dry and sunny start to the day. Also cold with the risk of ice and we | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
have showers in the west which will cross England and Wales as we go | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
through the course of the afternoon. We will more details in 15 minutes. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
A BBC investigation has revealed there were more than 20,000 | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
allegations of abuse made against home care workers over | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Many of the cases involved neglect but there were also allegations | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
of physical, psychological and sexual abuse. | :02:12. | :02:12. | |
The UK Home Care Association has described the findings as horrifying | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
but warns the system is under extreme pressure. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
Caught by a hidden camera, Maurice Campbell was jailed for over | :02:19. | :02:28. | |
two years for abusing 85-year-old Dora in her own | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
These images are especially disturbing because he was supposed | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
It is a serious case of obvious neglect. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Complaints against home carers can cover a range of problems | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
from cruelty to mistakes with medication to being | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
My father was quite a mild-mannered man all his life. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
This woman's father was also a victim. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
He had not had a shave, he was a smart man and became | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
Pauline believes that neglect, in particular | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
when he was given the wrong medication, contributed | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Just over half the councils in the UK contacted by the BBC | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
answered a Freedom of information request which found there had been | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
23,500 allegations of abuse against home | :03:28. | :03:28. | |
The police were involved in almost 700 cases and there were 15 | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
We do not know how many of the total complaints were valid but the local | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
government ombudsman has seen a significant | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
We have seen a 25% increase in complaints about home-care over | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
When we investigated the complaints what we found is that 65% | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
of the time our investigation shows that there was fault in the. | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
That is far higher than we found in any other | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
The government says it has introduced tougher inspections | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
and given councils dedicated funding. | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
But with an ageing population and tight budgets the theory is that | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
You can hear more on that story, on File on Four, on Radio 4 | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
A fresh wave of industrial action will be held in jails in England | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
and Wales in a dispute over pay and pensions, | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
Prison Officers Association members will withdraw from voluntary duties, | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
including manning "Tornado" teams which respond | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
They are on the frontline of a Prison Service | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
that is struggling to control its jails. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
But prison officer numbers have fallen | :04:53. | :04:53. | |
dramatically with many prisons in England and Wales facing crisis | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Among those in decline, Featherstone prison | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
Among those in decline, Featherstone prison near Wolverhampton. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
In its latest inspection, increased violence | :05:12. | :05:12. | |
against staff and reports of inmates refusing to leave their cells | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
described as living in fear of other prisoners. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
It was concerns over health and safety that led to a 24-hour | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
walkout in November by thousands of prison officers, | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
prompting government talks over pay and pension. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
Last week the Justice Secretary responded with a pay | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Now the union has described the offer as divisive. | :05:29. | :05:42. | |
So from tomorrow, members are being instructed to withdraw | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
That includes working as a first aid, hostage | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
negotiator or as part of a tornado team, specially trained to deal | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
There is also to be a ban on overtime. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
The unions understand that it will be taken to court | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
But if it does it will cause serious problems | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
in jails already facing huge pressure. | :06:06. | :06:24. | |
The Treasury wants to save an extra ?3.5 billion in the year before next | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
year so many departments have been sent a memo asking to find savings. | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
?1 billion has been allocated for priority areas. | :06:36. | :06:36. | |
The inquests into the deaths of 30 British tourists, | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
who were murdered by an Islamist gunman in Tunisia two years ago, | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Richard Galpin is live outside the Royal Courts of Justice | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
Richard, what are we expecting to happen today? | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
So many families have been listening closely to all of this. Good | :06:50. | :06:59. | |
morning. We are, or of course, are expecting coroner today to give | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
conclusions or verdicts as they were once known on the unlawful killing | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
for all the British tourists, the 30 who were killed in this horrific | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
attack two years ago. We also expect that before he does that that he | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
will make some statements of fact, if you like, a summer of the key | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
parts of the evidence. This is, of course an inquest so he cannot make | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
judgements give opinions but from those statements of fact we may get | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
an idea of where he thinks things went wrong and whether individuals | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
or organisations are to blame for in any way for this. And, also, that is | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
important because the judge has the possibility of drawing up a report | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
of recommendation for prevention of future deaths. So, measures which | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
could be taken to prevent an incident like this ought to try and | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
minimise casualties in a terrorist attack like this if it were to | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
acting again, affecting British tourists. One more thing, I hear | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
that the families are planning to take action in the civil course | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
against the travel company which was accused by the barrister | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
representing the families of neglect. Now they deny this and a | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
barrister representing the travel company says there is no basis for a | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
claim of neglect. Thank you very much for the moment. Large numbers | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
of children, most of them unaccompanied is still making the | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
dangerous sea journey from Libya to Italy. According to a new report, | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
almost 26,000 children made the journey last year. That is twice as | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
many as the previous year. Most were travelling alone. | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Sometimes we go two days without water. Paddy 's journey to Libya was | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
difficult. But she was desperate to carry on to Europe. But she did not | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
get there. Instead, she was arrested by the Libyan authorities. A new | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
report from the United Nations paints a grim picture of the | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
suffering faced by child migrants. It talks about people like Patsy who | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
end up in detention centres where food, water and medical help are | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
difficult to come by. UNICEF says they are little more than forced | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
labour camps. Nine out of ten of these children at travelling alone. | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
Their families believe they are heading for safety. This report | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
describes a nightmare of the journey with many experiencing violence and | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
sexual abuse at the hands of traffickers. Almost 26,000 Solo | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
children made the trip across the sea from Libya to Italy last year. | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
Twice as many as in 2015. UNICEF wants countries to do more. We need | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
places to process migrants and refugees, particularly for | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
unaccompanied children. And then we need to help them integrate. That | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
neither comprehends it approach. UNICEF says the UK deserves credit | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
for helping vulnerable children abroad but last month the government | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
ended a scheme to allow unaccompanied migrant children into | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
the UK for fear of encouraging trafficking. This report says the | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
most vulnerable are being failed. At ten past seven now, if you were | :10:23. | :10:32. | |
feeling cold this morning, spare a thought for the people waking up to | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
this. Record breaking amounts of snow | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
have fallen in the city The blizzard saw a burst of 30 | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
to 40 cm of snow fall It peaked in the capital at 51 cm | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
that's just over 20 inches. Only once in history | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
has this been topped, when snowfall in the city reached | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
55 cm in January 1937. Public transport ground to a halt | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
as all roads leading out Let's return to one of our main | :10:57. | :11:09. | |
stories this morning. The moon has fascinated all of us for thousands | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
of years, inspiring scientist and artist. But lunar travel is a recent | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
development. Space exploration was powered by the Cold War with the | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
Soviet Union making the first major breakthrough sending the first human | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
into space. The American soon caught up and eight years later, the Apollo | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
programme from Nasser delivered this moment in history. That is one small | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
step for man. One of giant leap for mankind. That looks beautiful. But | :11:41. | :11:51. | |
all ended in 1972 and we have not been anywhere near since. Now | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
private companies are leading the way. Virgin Galactic plans to send | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
customers about 62 miles above Earth. Space X passengers will | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
trouble over 300,000 miles away from home the astrophysicist and science | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
writer David Whitehouse joins us now from his home. Good morning, David. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
How significant is this announcement? When you first heard | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
it was a genuine excitement? It was not unexpected, it has been in the | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
works for a while. Yes, general excitement. Now private companies | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
are doing what only governments could do in the past. In the history | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
of space flight, three nations have put their own astronauts into space, | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
America, Russia and the soviet union, and China. At this very | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
moment, in America there are four companies that are building their | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
own rockets and their own space capsules and space X is just the | :12:51. | :13:00. | |
vanguard of others bound to follow. We can see some shots of dragon to | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
which is the craft that will be used. What sort of training will be | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
involved for these two people. It says there will be able to do this | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
by the end of next year. Is that possible? I imagine they would need | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
to be training flights and all sorts of safety checks as well. You are | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
quite right. They would need at least a NAND fly through the whole | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
mission. But these are not going to be tourists, in a sense. They are | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
going to be, they will not be falling around looking out the | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
window. The nature of such a dangerous journey, it is not a | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
routine thing, is that they would have to be well-trained in the | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
process of operating a spacecraft. Space X are not sending a | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
professional astronaut with them. But by the time these tourists get | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
into this casual, it could be next year, if it is by 2020 will still be | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
astounding, the tourists will be able to fly this spacecraft in the | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
case of any emergency. This is a serious venture. It is not routine | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
but it is very exciting and it opens the door to other companies to do | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
this. In a few years time it may well be that you could plan a trip | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
to the surface of the moon. Incredible, isn't it, to think of. | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
You're talking about private companies taking is into new | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
directions in terms of space pioneering. What do you think NASA's | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
reaction to this will be, and some of the other major bodies around the | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
world? Well, NASA wants to send its Iran capsule to the moon, at roughly | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
the same time. Space X has said that if NASA want to do it, they have | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
priority. But you must admit that these private companies such as | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
space X and blue origin, who are doing these wonderful things are | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
making NASA looked very slow. They are doing things that Nasser have | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
not gotten around to or were planning to do in the future. For | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
instance, the flood of Nasser is thought to be costing $1 billion. | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
Space X have not put across on the flight for the tourists but it is | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
thought to be in the region of 100 to 200 million. So substantially | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
cheaper, faster and very impressive. This is the future for space flight. | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
Private companies are going places where governments, lumbering | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
governments with big contracts had not been able to go for years. I | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
know some people are concerned about the money and the fact that the rich | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
and famous are dictating the future of space travel. You are saying | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
earlier about trip to the surface of the men. I know this is difficult to | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
answer but how far away do you think we are from genuine moon tourism? | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
Well, we have to... Virgin Galactic going into low earth orbit. That is | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
not a piece of cake it needs to be well-established. Space X have many | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
missions for tourists going to the moon and going around in coming | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
back. But landing on the man is not that much more difficult because we | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
have more advanced computers and technology than they had in the | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
1960s. I would say a ticket to the moon, ten years. Thank you very | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
much. Do you know what, we have done an | :16:20. | :16:33. | |
unscientific poll, and 55% would not like to go to the moon. Is it safety | :16:34. | :16:45. | |
your concern? I just like being earthbound. | :16:46. | :16:46. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
More than 20,000 allegations of abuse have been made against home | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
care workers over the past three years, according | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
The American firm, SpaceX, announces tourist flights around | :16:56. | :17:05. | |
Carol does not want to go to the moon with me either, but she has a | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
nice picture of the sun behind her. Good morning. A beautiful sunrise. | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
Many of us are looking at a picture not very different from this one. | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
Sunshine. Under the clear skies, cold. -2 and two. The highlands, -5, | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
-6. Surrounded by areas of low pressure. That will tell you we are | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
looking at unsettled conditions. Not just today, but through the rest of | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
the weekend weekend. The clear skies means we have showers in northern | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
Scotland and Ireland. One or two showers here and there across | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
England and also Wales. Variable cloud. Also some sunshine. It is a | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
cold start. The risk of ice. You may have to fix your windscreen for a | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
better view this morning. Through the day, the show is out towards the | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
west will push across parts of northern England and North Wales. | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
And for a time, we will see some hill snows. You may see some at | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
lower levels as well. A transient feature as temperatures rise. | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Through the rest of the day, that system goes through the Midlands and | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
later on, East Anglia and the south-east. Parts of Scotland seeing | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
the lion's share of the sunshine. Later on, it will go into | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
correction. It will feel cold. -- Pembrokeshire. There is the first | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
weather front and another coming behind it. Showers around. Low | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
temperatures and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Wintry showers | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
in the final of Scotland. These are the kinds of temperatures you can | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
expect in towns and cities. Rural areas, they will be lower than that. | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
A fine and dry and a bright start to the day across much of the UK. But | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
there is a weather front coming in from the south-west. As that goes | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
north and engages with the colder air, there is the risk of hill snow. | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
Behind that, cloud in the south-west. But it will turn more | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
mild. Ahead of that, it will still be cold. Some of the showers will | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
still be wintry in nature, five, ten, 11. Friday, more weather fronts | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
coming our way. Squeezing isobars means it will be windy. As the | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
weather fronts come in, they are bringing rain with them. Once again, | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
Thursday remains unsettled. Spells of rain coming in as we saw from the | :19:42. | :19:50. | |
west. A nice dry and bright start. Temperatures getting up towards the | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
Midlands and East Anglia. It is still pretty nippy, Dan and Louis, | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
as we go further north. Indeed. Thank you! We will talk to you later | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
on. Women at risk of ovarian cancer | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
could be helped to find tumours early by taking a blood | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
test every four months, There is currently no screening | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
programme for the disease, so if it runs in their family, women | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
are advised to have their ovaries One in 52 women will be | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
diagnosed with ovarian cancer More than 7,000 women are diagnosed | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
every year in the UK. Let's find out more now | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
from gynaecologist, Dr Adeola Olaitan, who joins us | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
from our London studio. A very good morning to you. Thank | :20:31. | :20:41. | |
you for joining us. Tell us a little bit about how effective this blood | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
test might be. Good morning. The important thing to recognise is | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
ovarian cancer presents late and often women do not have or are not | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
aware they have them. This test is designed for women at high risk of | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
ovarian cancer. The average risk is one in 50 to. Women who have a one | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
in ten chance get a blood test every few months. And an ultrasound once | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
year. This shows that women were detected, nine out of ten women, had | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
cancer detected before they were symptomatic. And presumably, that | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
had good results, did it, for the future? Yes. Absolutely. The earlier | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
you detect the cancer the better the chance of a cure. Nine out of ten | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
women in early stages have the chance of it cure. It is one in ten | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
at late stages. It depends on whether it is picked up early. How | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
do you know whether you are in the active group? Women are often | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
recognised from a strong history of ovarian cancer. Some may have had a | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
blood test for the mutation popularised by Angelina Jolie. It is | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
really important that this is recognised and people are given | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
appropriate advice. I must emphasise that the safest thing to do is to | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
have fallopian tubes and ovaries removed. But if you are young and do | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
not have a family, this may not be appropriate. And therefore this | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
blood test gives a better option. That is what I wanted to ask you. | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
Having those removed at the moment is the only alternative, isn't it? | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
It is. And it is the only thing that is safe in preventing and reducing | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
the risk of ovarian cancer in the long-term. But as I said, if you are | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
young and do not want premature menopause, which are removing your | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
fallopian tubes and ovaries will cause, having the blood test and | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
ultrasound scan will help to identify you if your risk goes up. | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
That is when doctors will intervene. As soon as we start talking about | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
anything like this, of course, there is the talk about funding. Is this | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
an effective use of money, do you think? At the moment, if you think | :23:13. | :23:22. | |
about women, I used to be in -- an economist. All this care is | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
expensive and there are economic impacts of not being able to work as | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
a woman. There has to be a cost benefit from early detection as it | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
stops people being taken out of work. Thank you very much for | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
talking to us. Thank you. Loot thank you. | :23:42. | :23:42. | |
We have been asking for your top pancake tips after a chef created us | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
It is Shrove Tuesday. Yes, that looked lovely. | :23:47. | :23:57. | |
Pauline says you should make your batter early | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
That is not fair, is it? No, it is her husband. | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
This is Pauline's husband, Russell, following her instructions. | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
Linda has been having a go this morning but said her pancake went | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
Oh, Linda. I think that's to do with the heat. What a let down. I'll | :24:13. | :24:26. | |
delete it. Tracey sent an e-mail of the pancake | :24:27. | :24:26. | |
she made for her husband at six this Is that the heart? I suppose so. If | :24:27. | :24:49. | |
you look at it upsidedown. And this one is American-style with cinnamon | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
and a bitter frosting. Frosting makes the world go round. -- bit of. | :24:53. | :25:04. | |
Pancakes make the world go round. You need flour and... What? Eggs. | :25:05. | :25:05. | |
If you're planning on picking up some eggs for Pancake Day, | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
you might notice the box looks a bit different from today. | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. The one thing we are not | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
short of this morning is eggs. 1 million eggs go through this place | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
every single day. They find their way to shops and supermarkets. These | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
ones on the production line will be in the supermarkets by tomorrow. You | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
are right, they will have a new label by tomorrow. This is why. Yes, | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
they are free range eggs, but they have come from hens that it had to | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
be kept inside due to fears of avian flu. -- that had. That way they are | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
not susceptible to contamination from foreign birds that fly in. It | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
is especially a risk for hens up and down the country. It means they are | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
safer, but not by the traditional definition free range. We are | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
talking this morning about what it means for farmers and places like | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
this. Yes, it is simply a case of informing customers by putting that | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
label on there, but it means big changes for farmers and how they are | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
able to do this. You can see these eggs on the line here. There are 1 | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
million a day. Factories, shops, restaurants, they are all supplied | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
from here up and down the country. It is absolutely mesmerising, how | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
much care is put into the eggs to pack them. We will take you around | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
later on and show you how it goes from start to finish and also assess | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
what this means. We will also speak to a vet. And we will talk about | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
what the new labelling could mean for this business. We will find out | :26:47. | :26:47. | |
that later, but before that, we That is it. I am back in half an | :26:48. | :30:11. | |
hour. Goodbye for now. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :30:12. | :30:18. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. A BBC investigation has revealed | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
there were more than 20,000 allegations of abuse made | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
against home care workers over Many of the cases involved neglect | :30:27. | :30:29. | |
but there were also allegations of physical, psychological | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
and sexual abuse. The UK Home Care Association has | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
described the findings as horrifying, but says the system | :30:38. | :30:40. | |
is under extreme pressure. I think the system is | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
absolutely at breaking point. We see a number of home-care | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
providers going out of the market altogether because they | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
cannot make it work. Something has to happen and it has | :30:52. | :30:58. | |
to happen fast or I am afraid we will see vulnerable people | :30:59. | :31:02. | |
actually not get the service The inquests into the deaths | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
of 30 British tourists, who were murdered by an Islamist | :31:06. | :31:10. | |
gunman in Tunisia two years ago, They were among 38 people killed | :31:11. | :31:17. | |
near the resort of Sousse. At the hearing, at the Royal Courts | :31:18. | :31:21. | |
of Justice, the coroner will explain why he has rejected a request | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
by many of the bereaved relatives to rule that neglect | :31:26. | :31:28. | |
contributed to their deaths. We can just bring you some breaking | :31:29. | :31:37. | |
news now and the communications regulator Ofcom has just announced | :31:38. | :31:40. | |
it will introduce a price cut for those who only have | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
a landline telephone. It wants to reduce bills by at least | :31:44. | :31:45. | |
?5 a month and says the move Ofcom was concerned that people | :31:46. | :31:49. | |
who only buy landline services - especially the elderly | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
and vulnerable people - have faced hikes in their line | :31:55. | :31:55. | |
rental of up to 41% in recent years. Government departments have been | :31:56. | :32:02. | |
asked to find further budget cuts of up to 6%, to begin | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
taking effect by 2020. The Treasury announced the plans | :32:06. | :32:07. | |
ahead of next week's Budget. Our political correspondent | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
Eleanor Garnier is in Eleanor, does this mean the policy | :32:11. | :32:12. | |
of austerity continues? It means that budget cuts in | :32:13. | :32:42. | |
Whitehall will have lasted for almost a decade by the time these | :32:43. | :32:46. | |
latest savings are handed in in 2019. We do not know the actual | :32:47. | :32:51. | |
scale of these latest cuts. Government departments have been | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
asked to look for savings of up to 6%. There will be some protected | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
areas, school budgets and the NHS will remain untouched and the | :33:00. | :33:02. | |
government says it is committed to spending 2% of national income on | :33:03. | :33:09. | |
defence. The timing of these cuts, however, is extremely tricky. They | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
are due to come in just around the same time that the UK is expected to | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
leave the European Union and also at around the time that political | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
parties will be preparing to the next general election in 2020. The | :33:23. | :33:25. | |
government says it is committed to a high-quality public sector that | :33:26. | :33:32. | |
develop -- delivers services needed it in an efficient way. For Labour, | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
however, they say it amounts to more of the same Tory austerity. Two | :33:38. | :33:47. | |
women will be charged with the murder of the half brother of the | :33:48. | :33:53. | |
North Korean President. He was assassinated with the lethal nerve | :33:54. | :33:57. | |
agent at the main airport in Kuala Lumpur. If the suspects, a | :33:58. | :34:02. | |
Vietnamese woman and an Indonesian woman are found guilty, they will | :34:03. | :34:04. | |
face the death penalty. The Prison Officers' Association has | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
announced more industrial action Members are being told to withdraw | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
from voluntary duties in a pay An overtime ban will also be | :34:11. | :34:15. | |

could help women at high-risk of ovarian cancer find tumours | :34:23. | :34:26. | |
early, according to new research. There is currently no screening | :34:27. | :34:29. | |

to have their ovaries However, it is not yet clear | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
if the regular blood test Private US aerospace company SpaceX | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
has announced plans to fly two paying passengers around | :34:39. | :34:45. | |
the moon next year. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said | :34:46. | :34:51. | |
the unnamed pair knew each other and had already paid a significant | :34:52. | :34:54. | |
deposit but were not celebrities. If successful, the trip will be | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
the first manned mission to deep So these two people will go alone in | :34:58. | :35:19. | |
a rocket. Boldly. Boldly go. It takes about a week to get there. So | :35:20. | :35:23. | |
many comments about that this morning because we are asking if | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
anybody want to go. Nobody seems to be interested. Nicole says the she | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
thought everyone drink of going to space. Imagine the adventure this | :35:33. | :35:38. | |
role. But... How about the fear and the claustrophobia? Gary says he | :35:39. | :35:46. | |
will go if there is Wi-Fi. Quite a few people are saying... I love the | :35:47. | :35:53. | |
way you are only reading people... Many people are saying it would be | :35:54. | :36:00. | |
the worst game of I Spy ever. Most people say they would rather go to | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
Norfolk. I completely agree. And I do appreciate this is a good point. | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
It is one week to get there. You see the moon and then you go home. You | :36:10. | :36:15. | |
don't get out, you don't land. But you have still been to the moon. No, | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
not really. You have just been close to the moon. You can't you haven't | :36:21. | :36:28. | |
been to Spain when you have just flown over Spain. I think I have a | :36:29. | :36:35. | |
my argument... You are both losers. The pair view. We were expecting a | :36:36. | :36:47. | |
wake - like episode at the Leicester match last night. It did not happen. | :36:48. | :36:50. | |
In their first game since sacking manager Claudio Ranieri, | :36:51. | :36:52. | |
Leicester City returned to winning ways with a 3-1 win over Liverpool. | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
The reigning champions earned their first league win | :36:57. | :36:58. | |
of 2017 and climbed out of the relegation zone | :36:59. | :37:00. | |
Danny Drinkwater scored the pick of the goals while Jamie Vardy - | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
much criticised for his form this season - scored twice. | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
I think there has been a lot of unfair stuff written lately and I | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
think you have seen a reaction from everyone. It was not about me | :37:13. | :37:15. | |
personally was about most of the squad and like they say it has | :37:16. | :37:19. | |
gotten us fired up in a good way to put a reaction on the pitch which we | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
a reaction on the pitch which we have done. | :37:25. | :37:28. | |
It is not the first time that a team has changed management. An | :37:29. | :37:32. | |
especially after what everybody said about the league and the | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
responsibility of the players, a display what had to happen. But you | :37:36. | :37:38. | |
could have done much better and that is the only thing. It is not | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
Leicester from last year. We let them be Leicester from last year and | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
Before the game, many fans turned out to honour Renny Airey. Fans | :37:46. | :38:01. | |
marched from the city centre to the Stadium, showing their gratitude to | :38:02. | :38:05. | |
the departed manager. That was before the match. I'm sure they were | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
very happy with the result afterwards. | :38:09. | :38:12. | |
Boxers Tony Bellew David Haye were kept apart as they held a press | :38:13. | :38:15. | |
conference ahead of their heavyweight clash on Saturday | :38:16. | :38:18. | |
There is a lot of flash photography coming up. | :38:19. | :38:20. | |
After an altercation between the two at a press conference in November, | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
the pair had security placed between them as they exchanged some | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
frank words in Bellew's home city of Liverpool. | :38:27. | :38:32. | |
I can not afford to lose any fight, | :38:33. | :38:34. | |
particularly this one. He is the will world champion in the way below | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
He is the world champion in the weight below | :38:40. | :38:41. | |
me. It is not about winning this fight, it is about the manner in | :38:42. | :38:45. | |
I need to win it in the most devastating manner | :38:46. | :38:51. | |
He does not want to get close to me, He does not want to be | :38:52. | :38:55. | |
in proximity to me because I am unpredictable and I make him | :38:56. | :38:58. | |
nervous. I intimidate him because... I am not saying he is scared of me | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
but what intimidate him is that he does not know what I am | :39:03. | :39:05. | |
He has no idea of what I am going to do or say which is even worse for | :39:06. | :39:11. | |
With the return of Formula 1 just under a month away, | :39:12. | :39:14. | |
the drivers have had the chance to put their new cars | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
through their paces And for new Mercedes team-mates | :39:18. | :39:19. | |
Valterri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton it was a successful | :39:20. | :39:22. | |
The pair recording nearly 150 laps in the same car, | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
with Hamilton coming out quickest on the day. | :39:27. | :39:33. | |
Do you remember an hour ago we introduced you to the mascots of | :39:34. | :39:39. | |
next winter Olympics? Now, get used to this interesting look. Britain's | :39:40. | :39:46. | |
fastest woman had this done to her. She was painted red white and blue, | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
at an event promoting the anniversary games at London in July. | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
I am quite surprised. Look how messy that is. Sometimes when you see body | :39:57. | :40:02. | |
painted is quite slick but that was a proper drippy painting. She looks | :40:03. | :40:08. | |
amazing. She has a foot injury but she hopes to be fit in time. | :40:09. | :40:13. | |
We are discussing eggs today. Eggs and the moon. More on that later. | :40:14. | :40:19. | |
Eggs will temporarily lose their free range status because of what | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
has happened with bird flu. You may have noticed little stickers | :40:24. | :40:26. | |
appearing on boxes like this one in the shop. Then it is at a free range | :40:27. | :40:30. | |
egg business in Cumbria. He can explain what is going on. Is its | :40:31. | :40:38. | |
machinery mesmerising? We have been here all morning. It will sit asleep | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
watching it and how delicate they are picking up the eggs and not | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
breaking any. I suppose they have had a lot of practice. This place | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
processes about 1 million eggs every day and all of the ones you can see | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
here will find themselves on the shops and shelves of supermarkets | :40:55. | :40:57. | |
tomorrow. They are packed here and then sent up and down the country. | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
So once they have been picked up, those are the ones that are coming | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
from the farm, you may be able to see through here the pink and blue | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
light here. That is basically scanning and checking them, grading | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
them, making sure they go to the right place, weeding out any bad | :41:14. | :41:16. | |
eggs. As you said, there is a new label you will see on some of the | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
boxes soon. Because of the outbreak of avian flu, many and have had to | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
be kept inside to protect them from foreign birds that may have a | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
particular the real and strain of avian flu. Whispering outweighed | :41:31. | :41:33. | |
that. Can you talk us through this strain of bird flu? This is a really | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
nasty strain that we are experiencing in the UK at the | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
moment. If chickens become infected there is a significant chance that | :41:44. | :41:46. | |
they will die. So farmers understandably wish to protect their | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
chickens. They keep them in Barnes but means that now they need a new | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
label on the box that means that they are not as free range as we may | :41:54. | :42:00. | |
have expected. Keeping them in Barnes helps, it keeps them away | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
from infection and birds that could be potentially carrying the virus. | :42:05. | :42:08. | |
There are also enhanced by the security that the farmers are doing | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
at the moment it helps protect them as well and keep them safe inside. | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
Think it very much. We may see this label. A blue label that will appear | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
on all the boxes. It identifies that, yes, they are free range eggs | :42:22. | :42:26. | |
but the hens have had to stay inside for over 12 weeks to protect from a | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
strain of bird flu. What does this mean for businesses like this that | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
take the eggs from farms and package them? Date is the boss here. Good | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
morning. It is a label that you need to stick on the box. I don't imagine | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
it is a huge change but it is something unique content with. | :42:43. | :42:46. | |
Another industry -- issue for the industry. That is correct. We pack | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
around 350 million eggs a year. We need around eight 9 billion eggs a | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
year. The ad business has had its up and downs. How does the figure go | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
with things. Farmers now need to keep their hands inside the over 12 | :43:01. | :43:04. | |
weeks to make sure they are not infected. 7 million hens in Europe | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
have been found with avian influenza. We have had the odd case | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
in the UK so hopefully we can keep it out. This is where we pack and we | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
pack for all sorts of funds and suppliers around here. What you have | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
to consider? Basically it is keep it moving. People moving around taking | :43:22. | :43:31. | |
the germs with them. If you mix with birds it is not good. And trucks, I | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
imagine, that are going from farm to farm? The whole bio security is | :43:36. | :43:38. | |
everything. Packaging, trucks, movement. You are a professional at | :43:39. | :43:45. | |
doing it because you do in and day out but it is something unique to | :43:46. | :43:49. | |
think about insulting you need to make sure that all the bio security | :43:50. | :43:52. | |
is top notch. Notch. Absolutely. Certainly the moment. It is a | :43:53. | :43:56. | |
perceived disaster and we do not want disaster. We need to ensure | :43:57. | :43:59. | |
they do not carry disaster between places. We keep Albert Dean. | :44:00. | :44:02. | |
Backyard flock should be kept inside as well. Think very much. All of | :44:03. | :44:07. | |
this stuff you see here on the production line, these things, as we | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
said, are packed and ready to go. We will put that one back on the | :44:12. | :44:14. | |
production line. That will be on supermarket shelves by tomorrow. | :44:15. | :44:19. | |
Thank you very much. Quite mesmerising. I could watch that for | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
a while. It is amazing. This is breakfast on BBC News. | :44:24. | :44:29. | |
More than 20,000 allegations of abuse have been made against home | :44:30. | :44:33. | |

The American firm, SpaceX, announces tourist flights around | :44:36. | :44:40. | |
My Spanish argument was rubbish. About the moon and if you had gone | :44:41. | :44:54. | |
there you would have effectively been there. Lovely flowers. Good | :44:55. | :45:01. | |
morning. A chilly start to the day if you are stepping out. These are | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
the values that will greet you. Currently, -7. In some of the | :45:06. | :45:17. | |
western areas around the coast, 4-5. Some lucky people will get six. No | :45:18. | :45:24. | |
heatwaves. The risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Low pressure | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
surrounding us. This area bringing in showers. Some longer spells | :45:29. | :45:39. | |
emerged. Hill snows. You can see some snow at lower levels. Showers | :45:40. | :45:46. | |
in the south-west of England will go east through the day as well. The | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
further east you are across north-east England, the more dry and | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
bright it will be. The north-west, showers. Some emerging and wintry in | :45:55. | :46:03. | |
the deals. A band running into Gloucestershire and in towards the | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
Midlands. Behind that, brightening up. Sunny spells. The same in | :46:09. | :46:14. | |
south-west Wales. The rest of Wales, some of those showers and emerging. | :46:15. | :46:19. | |
Wintry in the hills in particular. Showers on and off through the day | :46:20. | :46:22. | |
across Northern Ireland. Equally, brightness and between. The lion's | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
share of the blue skies will be in central Scotland and parts of the | :46:28. | :46:36. | |
highlands. There goes the first front and here comes the second. | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
Wintry showers coming into the finals of Scotland. A lot of dry | :46:40. | :46:45. | |
weather. Where we have had damp temperatures, the risk of ice. These | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
temperatures are indicative of what you can expect in towns and cities | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
to be rural areas will be lower. Tomorrow, dry and bright to start. A | :46:55. | :47:00. | |
weather front coming in from the south-west is pushing through the | :47:01. | :47:03. | |
Channel Islands in the south-west England, the Midlands, into Wales as | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
well. As it engages with the cold air, you might see a little flurry | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
or two of wintriness coming out of that. Behind it, temperatures will | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
rise. Some of us will go back into double figures. Ahead of that, | :47:17. | :47:20. | |
although dry and bright with a few isolated showers, some will be | :47:21. | :47:25. | |
wintry. It will feel cold. Through the rest of this weekend into the | :47:26. | :47:32. | |
weekend, the theme continues. Thank you, Carol. See you edit a bit | :47:33. | :47:36. | |
later. Thank you. Britain's most senior child | :47:37. | :47:44. | |
protection officer has suggested that low-risk paedophiles | :47:45. | :47:46. | |
shouldn't be sent to jail. Chief Constable Simon Bailey says | :47:47. | :47:49. | |
lower level offenders should be given counselling and | :47:50. | :47:51. | |
rehabilitation instead. morning. There is a clear message I | :47:52. | :48:03. | |
am giving today. The police service working with the National Crime | :48:04. | :48:07. | |
Agency has never been so robust in this field. We are arresting over | :48:08. | :48:12. | |
400 men every month and are safeguarding over 500 children every | :48:13. | :48:19. | |
month as a result of targeting those people that look at indecent imagery | :48:20. | :48:23. | |
of children. But the fact is we are simply becoming inundated with the | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
number of referrals that we are having to deal with and the number | :48:28. | :48:32. | |
of cases which ciao protection teams are having to cope with. We have | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
sophisticated risk assessment tools. I am confident we can determine | :48:37. | :48:42. | |
whether or not an individual poses a risk of contact abusing a child. And | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
when you look at the number of resources we now have working within | :48:47. | :48:50. | |
this field, when you look at the numbers we are now having to deal | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
with, I am proposing that we have to take a slightly different approach | :48:55. | :49:01. | |
where, and all of the individuals will still be arrested, but there | :49:02. | :49:04. | |
are alternative delusions, rather than putting these people through | :49:05. | :49:08. | |
the court system who are now dealing with 40- 50% of all their time with | :49:09. | :49:15. | |
allegations of sexual abuse. Cases are taking too long to come to | :49:16. | :49:18. | |
court. We need an alternative whereby those individuals we assess | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
as posing little risk to children of contact abuse have to attend some | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
form of rehabilitation and have to attend a course where they are | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
educated as to the impact of there are abuse, the impact of their | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
offending, and where they are not put into the justice system itself. | :49:39. | :49:41. | |
OK. They would not be given criminal sanctions. Would they, for example, | :49:42. | :49:46. | |
be on the sex offenders register? They would and there would be | :49:47. | :49:50. | |
managed within the community, yes but what about people looking at | :49:51. | :49:56. | |
these kinds of images fuelling the demand of those images and therefore | :49:57. | :50:02. | |
abuse of children? I absolutely understand and recognise every time | :50:03. | :50:07. | |
one of those images is reviewed, that person is being abused again. | :50:08. | :50:13. | |
This is not going soft on people who look at those images. Far from it. | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
There are now in circulation 100 million of these images potentially. | :50:18. | :50:20. | |
We have to deal with more referrals than we ever have had to. Three | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
years ago, we would get 100 referrals a month from the | :50:26. | :50:28. | |
international crime agency and from America. That is now approaching | :50:29. | :50:33. | |
5000 a month. What I am saying is my focus, and I believe the focus of | :50:34. | :50:37. | |
the police service and our partners should be, targeting those | :50:38. | :50:40. | |
individuals that pose the risk of contact abuse where we put a little | :50:41. | :50:46. | |
less effort into those people that pose such little threat that | :50:47. | :50:50. | |
actually some form of rehabilitation, some form of course | :50:51. | :50:53. | |
where they understand the impact of their offending, will be just, if | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
not, more effective. Talking about high risk people, you say you will | :50:58. | :51:04. | |
do a risk assessment. Is that robust enough to determine who are these | :51:05. | :51:07. | |
high risk offenders? I have confidence in the risk offender | :51:08. | :51:12. | |
tools we are using and we can identify those offenders that pose | :51:13. | :51:16. | |
the greatest risk to children. And just with regards to children as | :51:17. | :51:22. | |
well, the bottomline is that it is children you are trying to protect. | :51:23. | :51:26. | |
You think this is the best way to protect children? Well, I think it | :51:27. | :51:30. | |
is the best way the police service currently doing the activity that we | :51:31. | :51:35. | |
can is able to do it. By the fact is we need to have a different debate | :51:36. | :51:39. | |
around the whole issue of child sexual abuse in all of its awful | :51:40. | :51:43. | |
guises. We need resilience in our children so they can spot the signs | :51:44. | :51:49. | |
of exploitation. That is why I feel education in schools around this is | :51:50. | :51:53. | |
so very, very important. We need a different conversation with it | :51:54. | :51:56. | |
companies and start saying to them you need to start denying access to | :51:57. | :52:02. | |
this material. That is critical as well. If we start to do that, then | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
we will start to make a real difference. Chief Constable Simon | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
Bailey, thank you very much for your time this morning. That is a really | :52:13. | :52:15. | |
interesting debate. How about this for an idea? | :52:16. | :52:19. | |
The quality and creativity of primary school pupil's writing | :52:20. | :52:22. | |
is improved by halving the time they spend using conventional | :52:23. | :52:25. | |
teaching methods and replacing it with play based learning. | :52:26. | :52:27. | |
That's according to a group of leading academics from Cambridge | :52:28. | :52:30. | |
They're publishing a new Handbook for Teachers, advising how | :52:31. | :52:33. | |
the playful approach to writing can help their pupils. | :52:34. | :52:35. | |
Breakfast's Tim Muffett's been to a primary school | :52:36. | :52:37. | |
in Cambridgeshire to see the new approach in action. | :52:38. | :52:40. | |
Once upon a time, three schools took part in an experiment to let | :52:41. | :52:44. | |
children play more during lessons with construction toys. | :52:45. | :52:47. | |
And the fish did actually jump into the top of the trees. | :52:48. | :52:50. | |
The idea of Cambridgeshire university's Dr Whitebread. | :52:51. | :53:03. | |
Children struggle to become effective writers. | :53:04. | :53:04. | |
What has not been tried before is adopting a playful approach. | :53:05. | :53:07. | |
In one academic year, 90 children aged seven, | :53:08. | :53:10. | |
eight, and nine, did half as much traditional learning as usual | :53:11. | :53:13. | |
Instead, they spent that time playing, which reconstructing | :53:14. | :53:16. | |
One year later, improvements in spelling, punctuation, | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
and grammar, were broadly the same as those who had not | :53:21. | :53:23. | |
What is important is that they have developed ideas and learned how | :53:24. | :53:27. | |
to put them in the right order and organise their stories. | :53:28. | :53:30. | |
The children in the project seemed to make an unusual | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
It is right because it gives me better ideas of what to write about. | :53:34. | :53:37. | |
In the dark, gloomy, deadly land of the dead, | :53:38. | :53:40. | |
skeletons walk around with all their different facial expressions. | :53:41. | :53:42. | |
One of the things I found with using a more playful approach | :53:43. | :54:10. | |
It is created through generating that. | :54:11. | :54:13. | |
You get children who really care about the model they have created | :54:14. | :54:16. | |
And even reluctant writers are far more enthusiastic to get on. | :54:17. | :54:22. | |
Barhill Primary in Cambridge has now adopted this permanently | :54:23. | :54:25. | |
They are making a new Handbook for Teachers. | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
You can use models and construction toys. | :54:30. | :54:31. | |
Funding for the Cambridge study came from a toy brick company. | :54:32. | :54:41. | |
But play -based education has been launched many times. | :54:42. | :54:43. | |
We find evidence, actually, for those schools that implement it | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
well, there are schools that do better. | :54:49. | :54:49. | |
The downsides within addressing inequalities with boys and girls, | :54:50. | :54:52. | |
there is advantages and disadvantages, it | :54:53. | :54:53. | |
But many practitioners would advise it. | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
Back in Cambridge, Barhill School is now using construction -based | :54:58. | :54:59. | |

Hello this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | :56:09. | :00:06. | |
A BBC investigation reveals the scale of home | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
of complaints about cruelty and neglect, but there's been just | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
The Home Care industry says it's horrified by the findings. | :00:15. | :00:33. | |
Good morning it's Tuesday 28th February. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |

Did you want to say what a goal? I did, but Carol is waiting. | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
What a goal. Cold and blustery start of the day. Watch out for ice on | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
untreated surfaces. We have some showers, especially in the West, and | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
some of them will be wintry as they cross eastwards. More details later | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
in the programme. Thank you, Carol. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
A BBC investigation has revealed there were more than 20,000 | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
allegations of abuse made against home care workers over | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
Many of the cases involved neglect but there were also | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
allegations of physical, psychological and sexual abuse. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
The UK Home Care Association has described the findings as horrifying | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
but warns the system is under extreme pressure. | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Caught by a hidden camera, Maurice Campbell was | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
jailed for more than two years for abusing 85-year-old | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
These images are especially disturbing because he was supposed | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
It is a serious case of obvious neglect. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Complaints against home carers can cover a range of problems | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
from cruelty to mistakes with medication to being | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
My father was quite a mild-mannered man all his life. | :02:47. | :02:58. | |
He had not had a shave, he was a smart man and became | :02:59. | :03:09. | |
Pauline believes that neglect, in particular when he was given | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
the wrong medication, contributed to his death. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
Just over half the councils in the UK contacted by the BBC | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
answered a Freedom of information request which found there had been | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
23,500 allegations of abuse against home carers over | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
The police were involved in almost 700 cases and there | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
We do not know how many of the total complaints were valid but the local | :03:35. | :03:47. | |
government ombudsman for England has seen a significant rise in cases. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
We have seen a 25% increase in complaints about home-care | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
When we investigated the complaints what we found is that 65% | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
of the time our investigation shows that there was fault | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
That is far higher than we found in any other part of the work we do. | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
The government says it has introduced tougher | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
inspections and given councils dedicated funding. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
But with an ageing population and tight budgets the theory is that | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
You can hear more on that story, on File on 4, | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
The inquest into the deaths of 30 British tourist who were murdered by | :04:26. | :04:37. | |
an Islamist government in Tunisia two years ago will conclude this | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
morning. They were among 38 people killed | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
near the resort of Sousse. Our correspondent is there. What is the | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
security situation like now is to mark there is a visible change. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
I was here in 2015 after the attacks. I was back for the | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
anniversary and now, which is my third visit. You can certainly see a | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
different kind of security on the streets. There are permanent police | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
checkpoints manned by heavily armed officers. They are at the various | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
roundabouts that lead to access roads to the tourist hotels. When | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
you get to the hotels, vehicles are checked on the way in, mirrors are | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
passed under cars, bare metal detectors, scanners for everybody | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
entering the buildings. -- there are metal detectors. Tunisians want to | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
send the message that it is now safe for tourists. They are concerned | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
British tourists are still not coming back. In 2014, before the | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
attack, there were over 400,000 Britons who came. When you speak | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
English in the hotels now, the stats say it is so nice to hear, when the | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
English coming back? The Tunisians have made a recovery of sorts. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
They've gone after visitors from Russia and Algeria but they are | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
still anxious to see the British tourists coming back. There was a | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
lot of focus on the UK on the outcome of the inquest. It isn't | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
being spoken about here. People are not aware of it. The Tunisian | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
government has had nothing to say about the inquest process so far. | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
An inquest will be announced later today. Thanks very much. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
The Prison Officers' Association has announced more industrial action | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Members are being told to withdraw from voluntary duties in a pay | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
An overtime ban will also be phased in from April. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
It's understood the union has been warned it will be taken to court | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Thank you for your comments about space tourism today. | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
Private US aerospace company SpaceX has announced plans to fly two | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
paying passengers around the moon next year. | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the pair had already paid | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
a significant deposit for the trip, which will be the first manned | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
mission to deep space in more than 40 years. | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
It remains the pinnacle of human exploration, | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
but since this NASA Apollo 17 mission in 1972, nobody has | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
since made the 240,000 mile trip to the moon. | :07:11. | :07:21. | |
This is the company that claims that is about to change. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
SpaceX, the commercial US rocket company, has announced plans to send | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
two private citizens on a lunar journey late next year. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
Their owner, the entrepreneur Elon Musk, tweeted "Fly me to the | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
An astronomical journey like this comes with an astronomical pricetag | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
Mr Musk revealed little about the mystery travellers, | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
except that they had paid a significant deposit, | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
and were aware of all of the risks of human space travel. | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
The 2018 deadline is ambitious, and SpaceX has had | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
Last September, one of its rockets exploded on the launch | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
But it represents a new era of the space race, with private | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
companies, not countries, competing against each other. | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
NASA has given its support to the plans, which, | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
if successful, will launch the era of space tourism. | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
Government departments have been told to find further budget cuts | :08:24. | :08:37. | |
of up to six percent to take effect by 2020. | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
The Treasury announced the plans ahead of next week's Budget. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier is in Westminster for us. | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
Eleanor, does this mean the policy of austerity continues? | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
The question is, does this mean the policy of austerity will continue? | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
Good morning. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has certainly abandoned the | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
target and the timetable of his predecessor George Osborne. He | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
clearly hasn't abandoned the commitment to deal with the deficit | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
to get it down. That is the difference between what the | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
government is getting coming in and what it is able to spend every day. | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
This Budget cuts will mean austerity in Whitehall will have lasted for | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
almost a decade by the time these savings are found in 2019, 20 20. We | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
don't yet know the full scale of the savings. Departments have been asked | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
to look at savings of up to 6%. Some areas will be protected. Call school | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
Budget and the NHS will remain untouched. And the government says | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
it is committed to spending 2% of national income on defence. The | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
timing will be tricky. It'll be around the same time the UK is | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
expected to leave the EU. And also, just as political parties are | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
preparing for the next general election in 2020. The government | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
says it is committed to a high-quality public sector that | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
delivers the services people need in the most efficient way possible. For | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
Labour, the Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, said it amounted to what | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
he called more of the same Tory austerity. | :10:10. | :10:10. | |
Thanks very much. A blood test every four months | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
could help women at high-risk of ovarian cancer find tumours | :10:13. | :10:15. | |

What happened, apparently there is more information. There are two sets | :12:59. | :13:10. | |
of cards on each side of the stage. There is a stack for the back-ups | :13:11. | :13:14. | |

Nothing like your boss telling the world what you did wrong. | :13:26. | :13:26. | |

to us about this. BT have given us a statement about your announcement, | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
saying we will respond Ofcom's consultation fully when we have | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
considered the detail of the ruling. Let's talk more about the detail. | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
Who will benefit from your announcement this morning? If you | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
are a BT customer and you just take a land line from BT we intend to | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
force BT to cut monthly bills by ?5. As you said in your opener, the big | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
concern is there are about 2 million elderly and vulnerable people, most | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
of whom have been with BG for decades, have never switched their | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
provider, and they have seen their bills rise by about a third. -- BT. | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
While at the same time, BT's costs have fallen by a quarter. That's why | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
we are taking action. We think it is unacceptable that the most | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
vulnerable are facing this sort of penalty. BT have been making a lot | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
of money and it hasn't been costing them as much as it has in the past. | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Is it just a case of people not checking the bills, not changing, | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
having a landline, not thinking they need to switch, which has seen this | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
cost increase? I think that's right. For many of these vulnerable and | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
elderly customers, they've been with BT for over 20 years. Their landline | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
is their lifeline. They are not a group of people who really switch | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
provider. That is why we think it is really important that the most | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
vulnerable who are facing the most significant price increases should | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
get the protection that they deserve. Have BT been out of order? | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
Is it just a case of a policy that has not been changed? Personally | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
what I think has happened to this group of people is unacceptable. | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
That's why we are taking action. For most of us we can get good deals on | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
the market because we can shop around. Most of us by a landline | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
bundled in with a broadband. But for this group of customers, they don't | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
switch, they have been loyal to BT for many, many years. And they are | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
facing a big price squeeze, those who can least afford it. You say | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
it'll help around 2 million people having this cut bill of ?5 per | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
month. That is an awful lot of money. Aren't more people going to | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
see their bills cut on top of this? We are particularly focused on this | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
group, this 2 million elderly and vulnerable customers who only take a | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
landline. That is because the rest of us generally get good deals | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
because there are good cut-price offers out. We have said it is at | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
least ?5 per month. We are consulting today. It may be that our | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
final price cut is bigger, it is a big change we are making, and we | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
want to hear from customers from the public, some of your viewers may | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
have an elderly or vulnerable relative, or themselves be affected, | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
we would love to hear their views and see whether they think the ?5 a | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
month is the right level we are setting. People can get in contact | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
with you. If people feel this is them, do they need to do anything, | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
or will the money be automatically taken off their bill? | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
We'd love to hear from the public. We will take views from the industry | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
and from customers affected and we will announce the final price cut | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
towards the end of the year. Sharon White. BT said on that news that | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
they'll respond to the consultation when they've considered the full | :17:40. | :17:40. | |
detail of the ruling. It's 8.17am and you're watching | :17:41. | :17:49. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. More than 20,000 allegations | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
of abuse have been made against home care workers over the past three | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
years, according to Preparing for blast off - | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
the American firm SpaceX announces tourist flights around the Moon | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
will begin next year. It will cost you between ?100 | :18:03. | :18:24. | |
million and ?200 million. Carol and I are staying firmly here | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
on earth. There is no atmosphere and I make no apology for that one if | :18:30. | :18:39. | |
you get it! In Kinbrace it's minus eight | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
Celsius. In Manchester, it's one Celsius as | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
well. So you're getting the picture. There is also some ice to watch out | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
for on untreated surfaces and with all these areas of low pressure | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
around us, you can tell the weather today is going to be unsettled. | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
We've got showers. Some of them are wintry. Most of that is on high | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
ground, but you could see some at lower levels too. Watch out for the | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
ice. There is a lot of dry weather around and isolated showers in the | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
east. Most of the showers are in the west. And it's a blustery day as | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
well. So we've got showers moving out of Northern Ireland, some of | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
those have merged and they will continue their journey in across | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
north-west England heading towards the north-east with higher ground, | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
you're likely to see snow coming out of those. A band of showers coming | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
out of the south-west will continue through the afternoon to move | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
through the Midlands and into the Isle of Wight. Ahead of that, drier, | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
with the odd shower, but you will be unlucky if you catch one. Behind | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
that, we're looking at brightening skies. | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
But for North Wales, like north-west England and the Isle of Man, we're | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
looking at showers, some merging and wintry on high ground and for | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
Northern Ireland, you will see some showers this afternoon as well, but | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
there will be bright spells. But it is through the central swathe of | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
Scotland and through the Central Lowlands that we're hanging on to | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
the lion's share of the sunshine. Through the evening and overnight, | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
our front moves over towards the east taking the showers with it. | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
We've got another one heading south. So there will be showers around. | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
Some of those will be wintry across the far north of Scotland and of | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
course, where we've got the damp surfaces and low temperatures, | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
because in rural areas the temperatures will be lower than | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
this, well, there is once again the risk of ice tomorrow. It also means | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
under clear skies a gorgeous start to the day if you like it sunny and | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
crisp and we are looking at another weather front coming in from the | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
south-west and south-west England and in through Wales and the | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Midlands and East Anglia. As that engages with the colder air, there | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
is a chance we could see some snow. Again, mostly on higher ground. But | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
behind t we start to pull in some milder conditions. So tens and 11s. | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
Ahead of it, it will feel cold. We're lacking at blue skies, but | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
showers and they will be wintry. Dan and Lou, I can only apologise for my | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
appalling use of puns! You never need to apologise for | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
that, Carol. I thought you'd like to know what spring was like on juniper | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
and Mars, you see! That was the most polite go away, ever! I don't want | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
to talk to you. We will see you in half an hour. | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
The inquests into the deaths of 30 British tourists who were murdered | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
in a terror attack in Tunisia two years ago will conclude | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
Richard Galpin is live outside the Royal Courts of Justice. | :21:33. | :21:44. | |
Richard, what are we expecting to happen today? | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
One key piece of evidence that we have heard at this inquest which | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
concludes this morning. Units of Tunisian police, who were armed and | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
had body armour, did nothing to intervene to stop the attack, even | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
though they were very close by. So the gunman, Seifeddine Rezgui, was | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
able to carry on killing British tourists and other tourists from | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
more than 25 minutes. I managed to catch up with one British survivor | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
who did intervene to save some of those who were shot and injured. | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
Alan Pembroke got his wife to safety and then ran straight back on to the | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
beach where the attack had been taking place. | :22:31. | :22:39. | |
This is the gunman Seifeddine Rezgui casually walking along the beach | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
by the Imperial Hotel in the midst of the attack. | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
Trained by so-called Islamic State and unchallenged by the police, | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
he systematically murdered 38 holidaymakers, most were British. | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Today, Alan Pembroke leads a normal life, | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
But he was on the beach at the time of that attack, | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
and did something quite extraordinary, running back | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
into the scene the attack after taking his wife to the safety | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
I ran towards the gunfire where I could now see | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
I hit the deck, and as I hit the sand, I fell into a lady, | :23:16. | :23:29. | |
semiconscious, breathing, and she had some | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
I dressed her hand and covered her wrist with a scarf I'd pulled down | :23:32. | :23:43. | |
She then told me she had been in her leg and she had a hole in her leg, | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
so I got a beach towel and I wrapped it around her leg to compress | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
His actions saved the life of the woman whose husband | :23:53. | :24:07. | |
But he is wanted by what he saw and angry at the failure | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
of the Tunisian police to intervene in time. | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
I was on the beach for a good 20 minutes with Cheryl alone. | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
It's only in recent reports that I found out police fainted and hid. | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
They need to be held accountable for that. | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
Just three months earlier, foreign tourists were targeted | :24:33. | :24:55. | |
in an attack by Islamic extremists, in Tunis, leaving 20 dead. | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
But they did not change their overall travel advice. | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
The colour-coded map for travel advice remained green | :25:02. | :25:02. | |
for the coastal areas, so tourists could still go, | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
even though the Foreign Office was warning of a high risk | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
The senior official told the inquest hear that the criteria had not been | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
met to stop tourists from travelling to coastal resorts in Tunisia. | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
Several survivors gave testimony that the warning was not passed | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
on about terrorist attacks and instead they were | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
Today, the families will finally hear the conclusions of the coroner | :25:24. | :25:36. | |
22 families are planning further legal action once this case is over. | :25:37. | :25:47. | |
They are planning to go to the civil courts to bring claims against the | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
holiday company TUI for damage. Now, TUI was the company which booked the | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
holidays for most of the British holiday-makers and they want to make | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
claims of personal injury and fatal accident. The barrister for the | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
families accused TUI of neglect during the inquest, but the | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
barrister for TUI has denied that, saying there is no basis for a claim | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
for neglect and TUI itself has strongly denied neglect. | :26:18. | :26:18. | |
Richard Galpin, thank you very much. If you're planning on picking up | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
some eggs for Pancake Day, you might notice the box looks a bit | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
different from today. Good morning, guys. You might call | :26:28. | :26:37. | |
this a cracking shop this morning! They've speeded up the machine, but | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
it is mesmerising watching them. One million eggs will pass through here | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
every day. They're going to have a new label. The blue label will be on | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
president box. The hens that laid them had to be kept inside to | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
protect them from bird flu. It's time for the news, | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
travel and weather wherever you are. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :27:03. | :30:29. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. It is exactly 8:30am. The latest | :30:30. | :30:37. | |
news... A BBC investigation has revealed | :30:38. | :30:40. | |
there were more than 20,000 allegations of abuse made | :30:41. | :30:42. | |
against home care workers over Many of the cases involved | :30:43. | :30:44. | |
neglect but there were also allegations of physical, | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
psychological and sexual abuse. The UK Home Care Association has | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
described the findings as horrifying, but says the system | :30:51. | :30:52. | |
is under extreme pressure. I think the system is absolutely at | :30:53. | :31:06. | |
breaking point. We see a number of home care providers going out of the | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
market altogether because they can't make it work, something had to | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
happen, and fast. All, I'm afraid, we will see some vulnerable people | :31:16. | :31:18. | |
not getting the services and support they need. | :31:19. | :31:24. | |
Government departments have been told to find further budget cuts of | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
up to 6% to begin taking effect in just over two Mike Weir years. The | :31:28. | :31:33. | |
treasury wants to save an extra ?2.5 billion in the year before the next | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
general election. ?1 billion of this will be reallocated to what are | :31:38. | :31:38. | |
called priority areas. The inquests into the deaths of 30 | :31:39. | :31:40. | |
British tourists who were murdered by an Islamist gunman in Tunisia two | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
years ago will conclude They were among 38 people killed | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
near the resort of Sousse. At the hearing at the Royal Courts | :31:47. | :31:52. | |
of Justice the coroner will explain why he has rejected a request | :31:53. | :31:55. | |
by many of the bereaved relatives to rule that neglect | :31:56. | :31:59. | |
contributed to their deaths. They were among 38 people killed | :32:00. | :32:01. | |
near the resort of Sousse. The telecoms regulator Ofcom has | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
just announced it will introduce a price cut for those who only | :32:06. | :32:07. | |
have a landline. It wants to reduce bills by at least | :32:08. | :32:09. | |
?5 a month and says the move Ofcom was concerned that people | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
who only buy landline services - especially the elderly | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
and vulnerable - have faced hikes in their line rental of up | :32:18. | :32:19. | |
to 41% in recent years. The big concern is there are about 2 | :32:20. | :32:34. | |
million elderly and vulnerable people, most of whom have been with | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
BT for decades, have never switched their telephone provider, and they | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
have seen their bills rise by about a third while at the same time BT's | :32:44. | :32:48. | |
costs have fallen by a quarter, which is why we are taking action, | :32:49. | :32:53. | |
we think it is unacceptable that the most vulnerable face this sort of | :32:54. | :32:54. | |
penalty. A blood test every four months | :32:55. | :32:56. | |
could help women at high risk of ovarian cancer find tumours | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
early, according to new research. There is currently no screening | :33:00. | :33:01. | |
programme for the disease, so high-risk women are advised | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
to have their ovaries However, it is not yet clear | :33:05. | :33:06. | |
if the regular blood Private US air space company SpaceX | :33:07. | :33:22. | |
has announced plans to fly two paying passengers around the moon | :33:23. | :33:26. | |

unnamed pair knew each other and had already paid a significant deposit, | :33:31. | :33:35. | |
but they were not celebrities. If successful, the trip will be the | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
first manned mission to deep space in more than 40 years. It has been | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
the topic of much debate. How are you doing on your survey | :33:43. | :33:47. | |
about who want to go to the moon and who does not? | :33:48. | :33:49. | |
Currently about 60% of people have no interest in moon trouble, like | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
you, Sally and trouble. It will only take two people going. | :33:55. | :33:59. | |
Within ten years, our expert earlier said it could be a regular for | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
normal people who don't have millions of pounds in the bank. | :34:04. | :34:07. | |
It will still be a lot of money. If you're feeling chilly this | :34:08. | :34:11. | |
morning, spare a thought for people waking up to this. I know there is | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
some snow here, but this is in the Icelandic capital, recce of big. | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
Blizzard saw a burst of 30 to 40 centimetres of snow fall in a matter | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
about this, peaking at 51 centimetres, just over 20 inches, | :34:25. | :34:30. | |
halting public transport and closing all roads out of the city. This | :34:31. | :34:37. | |
snowfall was only topped once in history when 57 inches fell in | :34:38. | :34:41. | |
January 19 37. Look outside the BBC building, we | :34:42. | :34:45. | |
are on the bottom left-hand side, look at the snow. This has happened | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
in the last 20 minutes or so. Carroll will tell us what is | :34:50. | :34:53. | |
happening, she said it would be unsettled Dan Snow in parts, but we | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
did not expect it here. Our building is particularly drab! | :34:59. | :35:01. | |
But very warm inside. The Victoria Derbyshire Programme | :35:02. | :35:03. | |
is on BBC Two later this morning. Let's find out what | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
they're covering today. Good morning. If you have been -- as | :35:08. | :35:17. | |
you have been reporting, from 10am a judge will begin to deliver his | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
conclusion into the death of 30 British terrorists on the beach in | :35:22. | :35:25. | |
June we will get a reaction from survivors. We will talk to two fit | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
and healthy women who had heart attacks in their 30s, one a | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
fortnight before giving birth and the other a day after taking part in | :35:34. | :35:39. | |
a ten kilometre run. Hear their story on BBC Two, the BBC News | :35:40. | :35:43. | |

And coming up here on Breakfast this morning... | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
MP George Freeman has apologised after his comments on anxiety | :35:48. | :35:50. | |
caused a storm yesterday, but what's it really | :35:51. | :35:51. | |
We'll hear from TV personality Anna Williamson about the anxiety | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
attacks which threatened to end her career. | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
It's the news schoolchildren have been waiting for - | :36:00. | :36:01. | |
spending more time playing in class could be good for you! | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
We'll have the latest on a major new study which says playful | :36:06. | :36:07. | |
learning leads to better writing in pupils. | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
And a man known as Iceman - because he can withstand | :36:12. | :36:14. | |
freezing temperatures - and a girl with half a brain | :36:15. | :36:16. | |
are just two of the extraordinary stories in the new series | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
We'll be talking to presenter Gabriel Weston just after 9am. | :36:20. | :36:34. | |
That Iceman story come he can control his adrenaline levels. And | :36:35. | :36:40. | |
the heat of his core body temperature. Incredible. Everybody | :36:41. | :36:44. | |
to be freezing and die, he can increase his body temperature by | :36:45. | :36:49. | |
releasing more adrenaline. Amazing, we could all do with that. | :36:50. | :36:53. | |
I think Leicester City had some of that going on last night, they raise | :36:54. | :36:58. | |
their game. Great link! How did they do that | :36:59. | :37:02. | |
last night? We heard the fans were desperately sad to see the back of | :37:03. | :37:06. | |
Claudio Ranieri, but the players did not look so upset from the way they | :37:07. | :37:08. | |
played. A peaceful march was organised, | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
with fans walking from the city centre to the stadium | :37:13. | :37:15. | |
to show their gratitude. They were calling at the March for | :37:16. | :37:23. | |
Ranieri, showing support to the manager who took the club to the top | :37:24. | :37:27. | |
of the Premier League season last season. But when the match kicked | :37:28. | :37:31. | |
off it was different, the reigning champions ended their dreadful run, | :37:32. | :37:35. | |
they are out of the bottom three after a win against Liverpool, 3-1 | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
the final score. Danny Drinkwater with that stupendous goal, Jamie | :37:41. | :37:46. | |
Vardy got two. He has been roundly criticised over the last few months | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
for his performances, that all changed last night. | :37:50. | :37:53. | |
Has been a lot of unfair stuff written, you have seen a from | :37:54. | :38:00. | |
everyone. It was not just about me personally but about most of the | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
squad, it has definitely got us fired up in a good way to put a | :38:04. | :38:07. | |
reaction on the pitch, which we have done. | :38:08. | :38:10. | |
It is not the first time that a team changes the manager, especially | :38:11. | :38:16. | |
after what everybody has said about it and the responsibility to the | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
players, it was clear what happened. But we could have done much better. | :38:22. | :38:26. | |
That is the only thing, it is not Leicester from last year, we let | :38:27. | :38:30. | |
them be Leicester from last year, that is our fault. | :38:31. | :38:32. | |
Not mincing his words. Now, if the fight on Saturday | :38:33. | :38:33. | |
between Tony Bellew and David Haye matches up to the pre-bout chat | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
between the two it could be quite The pair were kept apart | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
as they held a press conference. Just a warning that there | :38:40. | :38:44. | |
is flash photography coming After an altercation between the two | :38:45. | :38:46. | |
at a press conference in November, the pair had security placed | :38:47. | :38:50. | |
between them as they exchanged some frank words in Bellew's | :38:51. | :38:52. | |
home city of Liverpool. I can't afford to lose any fight, | :38:53. | :39:03. | |
particularly those. This is the world champion in the way to below | :39:04. | :39:09. | |
me, cruiserweight, 14 stone for, it is not about winning this fight, it | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
is the manner in which I win it. I have to minute in the most | :39:14. | :39:14. | |
devastating manner possible. He does not want to get close to me, | :39:15. | :39:22. | |
be in close proximity to me, because I am unpredictable and I make him | :39:23. | :39:28. | |
nervous, as people have seen, I intimidate him. I am not saying he | :39:29. | :39:31. | |
is scared of me, but what intimidates him is he does not know | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
what I am going to do, he has no idea what I will do or say, which is | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
even worse for him. Britain's fastest woman is injured | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
at the moment but not taking it easy, she is preparing for the | :39:46. | :39:47. | |
Anniversary Games in London. She is getting painted in red, white | :39:48. | :39:59. | |
and blue. She had a really freak training | :40:00. | :40:04. | |
injury doing a last rep on one of her feet, she broke a bone in her | :40:05. | :40:09. | |
foot but expects to be fully fit in time for the summer. | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
That is quite something. She looks amazing. I quite like it. | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
We have been talking about eggs and pancakes, would you send your | :40:18. | :40:21. | |
recipe? I went shopping for pancake stuff | :40:22. | :40:26. | |
last night and I went early, I cooked the pancakes last night. | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
Schroders Monday in my house. I ate two. What is unacceptable | :40:32. | :40:37. | |
number of pancakes? Main meal, how many? What would you say? | :40:38. | :40:44. | |
-- what is an acceptable? Six for me, maybe eight for you. It depends | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
how big they are, I like the small and fluffy ones. | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
I would quite like to hit double figures, I can see what I will do | :40:53. | :40:55. | |
later. I was going to go conservative, two | :40:56. | :41:02. | |
or three! You have laid down the challenge! | :41:03. | :41:05. | |
All round to mine! Talking of pancakes... | :41:06. | :41:06. | |
Millions of UK eggs are about to temporarily | :41:07. | :41:08. | |
lose their free-range status because of what's | :41:09. | :41:10. | |
You may notice stickers appearing on egg boxes in the shops. | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
Ben's at a free-range egg business in Cumbria to explain. | :41:15. | :41:19. | |
We have been really mesmerised by this machinery. | :41:20. | :41:25. | |
Good morning. Good morning. It is amazing, we have watched this all | :41:26. | :41:29. | |
morning and you should see it at full pelt. I am amazed they don't | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
break many more ex-. It is amazing watching it all in action, a million | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
eggs go through this place every day, many of them end up in pancakes | :41:39. | :41:42. | |
over the course of today, but looking closely at the boxes you | :41:43. | :41:45. | |
find they might have a new label on them to show that they are free | :41:46. | :41:51. | |
range eggs, but it does not quite fit the traditional definition | :41:52. | :41:54. | |
because the hens have had to stay inside in a barn for their own | :41:55. | :41:59. | |
welfare, to protect them from avian flu, bird flu, reported on the | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
continent. They are worried about wild birds infecting British birds. | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
It means they are inside here, all of these eggs have been inside the | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
more than 12 weeks, you might be able to see the flashing pink and | :42:14. | :42:19. | |
blue light in the distance, that grades and sorts them, photographed | :42:20. | :42:22. | |
them and gets rid of any that might be broken, cracked or not up to | :42:23. | :42:27. | |
scratch. What is this new labelling system mean not only for businesses | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
like this but for the farms? Ellen is a vet. Good morning. This is a | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
significant outbreak, it is a pretty virulent strain of bird flu that the | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
birds need to be protected from? It is a particularly nasty strain in | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
the UK at the moment, if chickens contract the virus there is a very | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
real chance they will die. This is about that protection as well as | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
ours? Of course, these girls are working very hard to lay eggs and it | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
is important we protect them to the best of our ability. Is it as simple | :43:02. | :43:08. | |
as keeping them inside? It keeps them away from the wild birds | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
potentially carrying the virus, and farmers are asked to step up their | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
bio-security routines, to protect them in that way. | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
Thank you. I will introduce you to David, the bass down here. He has | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
the big job of managing this entire production line, good morning. New | :43:26. | :43:30. | |
labels on the boxes, what does it mean? Operationally, not a lot. It | :43:31. | :43:35. | |
is keeping the bird secure and safe. Bio-security is so important, it is | :43:36. | :43:41. | |
not just the risk of birds flying in from abroad but have contracted bird | :43:42. | :43:45. | |
flu but it is on your shoes, lorries making deliveries from the farms, | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
you had to be aware? Once the birds are shut-in, that is the biggest | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
risk. This is a huge business which has had its ups and downs, how does | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
this figure on that scale? So far it is like disruption, it is about | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
animal welfare and keeping the consumers informed. If we keep it | :44:06. | :44:14. | |
out of the country, that is the best thing. | :44:15. | :44:16. | |
What have you had to change? Is it just keeping the chickens inside? | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
The whole procedure of looking after them changes, more time and why of | :44:20. | :44:21. | |
it, keeping them happy inside because they are used to going | :44:22. | :44:24. | |
outside. Thank you for having us. Lots of | :44:25. | :44:29. | |
these eggs on the process this morning all packed up, it is silly | :44:30. | :44:32. | |
efficient and quick that these will be on the production line, they | :44:33. | :44:39. | |
should be on the shop shelf by tomorrow. | :44:40. | :44:44. | |
Thank you, it has been fascinating watching that. | :44:45. | :44:46. | |
We have been talking a lot about the moon. | :44:47. | :44:49. | |
The moon has fascinated mankind for thousands of years and inspired | :44:50. | :44:52. | |
However lunar travel is a recent development in human history. | :44:53. | :44:55. | |
Space exploration was powered by the Cold War, | :44:56. | :44:57. | |
with the Soviet Union making the first major breakthrough | :44:58. | :44:59. | |
with Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human in outer space. | :45:00. | :45:04. | |
The Americans soon caught up and eight years later Nasa's Apollo | :45:05. | :45:07. | |
programme delivered this moment of history. | :45:08. | :45:16. | |
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. That looks | :45:17. | :45:27. | |
beautiful from here. That all came to an end | :45:28. | :45:29. | |
in 1972 and we haven't been Now private companies | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
are leading the way. Virgin Galactic plans to send | :45:33. | :45:35. | |
customers about 62 miles above earth, but SpaceX passengers | :45:36. | :45:38. | |
will travel more than 300,000 Libby Jackson, the human | :45:39. | :45:40. | |
space flight manager for the UK Space Agency, | :45:41. | :45:46. | |
joins us from Keynsham Were you surprised when you heard | :45:47. | :45:59. | |
these plans? I was very surprised, it is very exciting. But they have | :46:00. | :46:05. | |
not been in the space tourism game so far, virgin collect tech and | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
companies like that have been looking at it since 2004, Nasa are | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
talking about sending their Orion craft to the moon in 2021, so to | :46:16. | :46:20. | |
come out of the blue like this and to have them talking about sending | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
people to the mood is surprising and interesting. Tell us about the | :46:25. | :46:30. | |
journey, how will it work? They will launch in this spacecraft Capshaw on | :46:31. | :46:37. | |
a rocket and it will take a week in total, three days to the moon and | :46:38. | :46:42. | |
three days back. SpaceX have not announced what the flight will look | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
like, but I imagine it will be on a free return trajectory. Reduced the | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
moon's gravity to loop around it safely and bring you back to us, so | :46:52. | :46:57. | |
you will still make it back home. We are seeing pictures released by them | :46:58. | :47:06. | |
of Dragon two. Tourists have paid a large deposit, doesn't need to be | :47:07. | :47:09. | |
just them, but they have to have other people who know about space | :47:10. | :47:14. | |
on-board? I would imagine they would take a professional pilot with them. | :47:15. | :47:19. | |
You will be away from Earth for a week, you cannot just get back in a | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
few hours, like you can from low Earth orbit. If things go wrong, you | :47:24. | :47:29. | |
need to be able to deal with it. We have been talking about it all | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
morning. I would not want to go! The people making this, you are used to | :47:34. | :47:39. | |
dealing with astronauts and space, it is a dangerous place to be. | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
Absolutely, everybody in the industry works as hard as they can | :47:45. | :47:49. | |
to keep things as safe as they can, but you still putting yourself on | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
top of a giant rocket full of fuel, it is a controlled explosion to get | :47:54. | :47:58. | |
you into space, so there will always be risks. The people who have | :47:59. | :48:02. | |
committed are aware of the risks, but it is still a huge challenge to | :48:03. | :48:05. | |
get them there and return them safely. It was a huge challenge to | :48:06. | :48:12. | |
get to the moon in the first place. Yes, we have not done it since 1972. | :48:13. | :48:18. | |
Technology has evolved, we have bigger rockets and more of | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
awareness, but there are still great things to be done, and we have not | :48:23. | :48:25. | |
done it for nearly 50 years. Is there a point where space travel | :48:26. | :48:30. | |
will be a holiday destination? Will it be for the masses? I believe so. | :48:31. | :48:39. | |
We may see it in our lifetime. I Save the Children, if they start | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
saving up, you never know. There are companies that are looking to go | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
into sub orbital space, they will be cheaper than going to the moon. That | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
will become more accessible, and it takes the rich people, as SpaceX | :48:52. | :48:58. | |
have found, to pave the way in the early days. That is what happened | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
with aeroplane travel. I think so, eventually. Would you go? | :49:04. | :49:09. | |
Absolutely, I would love to see the Earth from afar, the most beautiful | :49:10. | :49:16. | |
thing, I would enjoy it. Dan has been looking for somebody else who | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
would go! I have the perfect partner! | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
We have snow here in Salford, Carol can tell us what is happening | :49:26. | :49:33. | |
elsewhere. What is the plural of a llama? Llamae! | :49:34. | :49:44. | |
Our weather watchers have done well again. It is snowing in Derbyshire, | :49:45. | :49:52. | |
and another cracking picture in Cheshire, and another from | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
Shropshire. But blue skies. The snow at low levels will be transient, it | :49:57. | :50:01. | |
will become a high-level feature of the temperatures rise. Look at these | :50:02. | :50:04. | |
temperatures at the moment. If you have the correct ambient | :50:05. | :50:17. | |
conditions, as we have across north-west England and parts of | :50:18. | :50:22. | |
Wales, if the temperatures are two or less, you will see some snow. The | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
showers are courtesy of this occlusion from the North Sea and | :50:28. | :50:33. | |
moving eastwards. First thing this morning, watch out for ice on | :50:34. | :50:37. | |
untreated surfaces. A lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine. | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
The isolated shower in the East. The showers continue for western | :50:43. | :50:47. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, and pushing into north-west England. The | :50:48. | :50:53. | |
showers moving eastwards. As temperatures rise, it will be mostly | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
on high ground that we see this now. It will stay largely dry across the | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
north-east of England. The same for East Anglia and the south-east. The | :51:03. | :51:07. | |
showers come at the time. As we push into the south-west, right skies, or | :51:08. | :51:14. | |
sunny skies. Still some showers across South Wales. Across North | :51:15. | :51:19. | |
Wales, we hang onto them, giving some hill snow. For Northern | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
Ireland, showers and off. The lions share of the sunshine across the | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
central swathe of Scotland. We do it showers in the north, cloudy in the | :51:29. | :51:32. | |
south. As we had through this evening and overnight, there is the | :51:33. | :51:35. | |
first weather front, taking the showers with it. Winter showers in | :51:36. | :51:41. | |
the North of Scotland again. With all of this going on, it does mean | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
once again that there is the risk of ice. These are the city and town | :51:46. | :51:54. | |
temperatures. A good start tomorrow, sunshine and Winsili showers in the | :51:55. | :51:59. | |
North, then we have another front for the South, bringing rain into | :52:00. | :52:01. | |
the Channel Islands and pushing north. As it engages with the colder | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
air ahead of it, we see health snow for a time. I had a fit, dry and | :52:07. | :52:11. | |
bright weather apart from in Northern Ireland. Mild in the South, | :52:12. | :52:17. | |
but pretty cold as we push further south, sorry, further north. | :52:18. | :52:26. | |
What is the plural of llama? They were alpacas! | :52:27. | :52:32. | |
I am sure our viewers heard you shouting, alpaca! | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
I was only getting! Millions of drivers face higher | :52:37. | :52:39. | |
insurance premiums after a change to the way compensation | :52:40. | :52:41. | |
for life-changing Insurers have called it | :52:42. | :52:43. | |
crazy, but others say Liz Truss said it was the only | :52:44. | :52:59. | |
legally think -- legally acceptable thing she could do. | :53:00. | :53:02. | |
With the compensation bill for the NHS set | :53:03. | :53:03. | |
to rise by ?1 billion too, there are questions over | :53:04. | :53:06. | |
whether the change places too high a burden on taxpayers, too. | :53:07. | :53:08. | |
Neil Sugarman is president of the Association of | :53:09. | :53:10. | |
Personal Injury Lawyers, who represent people making | :53:11. | :53:12. | |
Can you explain what has changed? This is about the discount rate, it | :53:13. | :53:23. | |
is set by law by the Lord Chancellor. It is a percentage that | :53:24. | :53:28. | |
takes account of the fact that when people receive compensation, and | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
this applies in the case of people who have had serious injuries and | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
receive large amounts, they can then invest the money and earn an income | :53:37. | :53:42. | |
out of it. The problem is that with what has happened since the rate was | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
last set, in 2001, the money does not go as far and they do not get | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
the returns they used to get. The Lord Chancellor has acted according | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
to the law and reviewed the rate to take account of the fact that the | :53:56. | :53:58. | |
money does not go as far animal. It is interesting, occurs we might | :53:59. | :54:04. | |
think it is far removed from us, but it could have an impact on | :54:05. | :54:10. | |
insurance? Yes, but what this is about is people with life changing | :54:11. | :54:15. | |
injuries, people who might be confined to wheelchairs, who might | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
have lost limbs, who will never work again, will have long-term care | :54:19. | :54:24. | |
needs, insurance is therefore a purpose, to look after people who | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
suffer that type of injury. We need to be about focusing on them. We | :54:29. | :54:30. | |
have a clip. The Association of British Insurers | :54:31. | :54:33. | |
said the changes would mean This is not about profits, the | :54:34. | :54:45. | |
lawyers or the insurers. It is about ensuring people get the right amount | :54:46. | :54:48. | |
of compensation, paid for in a way that does not mean massive premium | :54:49. | :54:51. | |
increases for millions of motorists and businesses. | :54:52. | :54:55. | |
Can you understand why they are reacting in the way that they have | :54:56. | :55:01. | |
described? I do understand. The difficulty is that the insurance | :55:02. | :55:07. | |
industry say it has taken them by surprise and it has come out of the | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
blue, but they have known for some considerable time that this will | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
happen. The association and my association have been campaigning | :55:18. | :55:20. | |
for six years, because the difficulty is that these seriously | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
injured people have been in a situation where they were worried | :55:25. | :55:26. | |
that their compensation might run out, so it is not news to the | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
industry. They should have been planning for this for some time. You | :55:31. | :55:35. | |
have been lobbying for some years. That will also mean more money in | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
the pocket of personal injury lawyers. This is nothing to do with | :55:41. | :55:45. | |
that. It is a piece of law that dictates the amount of compensation | :55:46. | :55:47. | |
for seriously injured people, nothing to do with the lawyers. | :55:48. | :55:54. | |
The head of Theresa May's policy unit has been forced to apologise | :55:55. | :55:57. | |
for appearing to suggest disability benefits should go to "really | :55:58. | :56:02. | |
disabled people" rather than those suffering with anxiety. | :56:03. | :56:06. | |
George Freeman said it was right to introduce reforms to | :56:07. | :56:09. | |
the Personal Independence Payment, or Pip, system. | :56:10. | :56:12. | |
His comments provoked a furious backlash from both Tory and Labour | :56:13. | :56:14. | |
MPs and led to Mr Freeman tweeting this apology. | :56:15. | :56:48. | |
So what's it like to suffer from the condition? | :56:49. | :56:50. | |
The author Anna Williamson has suffered what she describes | :56:51. | :56:52. | |
as life-limiting anxiety herself, and joins us now. | :56:53. | :57:02. | |
You have lived with this, how did it develop and what has it been like? | :57:03. | :57:10. | |
Anxiety is one of the most debilitating, mentally and | :57:11. | :57:14. | |
physically, conditions that I could have ever experienced. I am pleased | :57:15. | :57:19. | |
that George Freeman has apologised for that comment. It was the most | :57:20. | :57:26. | |
awful, ill timed comment for all mental health sufferers. We spent | :57:27. | :57:29. | |
time trying to be stigmatised mental health, and it was... I was so angry | :57:30. | :57:35. | |
when I heard it. For somebody that had apparently experienced it | :57:36. | :57:38. | |
himself, he should know how physically disabling living with an | :57:39. | :57:45. | |
anxiety mental health condition can be, as I know, which is why I wrote | :57:46. | :57:53. | |
my book, out this week, to help other sufferers know that it is | :57:54. | :57:57. | |
normal and there is help out there, because it can be fiercely and | :57:58. | :58:02. | |
harassing. I was hosting a number one kids TV show when I was | :58:03. | :58:05. | |
diagnosed with general anxiety disorder. It was the worst time of | :58:06. | :58:14. | |
my life. Physically, you feel incapable, mentally, you feel | :58:15. | :58:17. | |
frazzled, and it is a horrible illness to live with and cope with. | :58:18. | :58:22. | |
People with mental health issues often are coping with them | :58:23. | :58:25. | |
day-to-day. For George Freeman to have made that comment yesterday | :58:26. | :58:30. | |
that it was not a disability and it did not deserve equal standing with | :58:31. | :58:34. | |
physical health was gut-wrenching and awful, so I am pleased he has | :58:35. | :58:36. | |
apologised. Do you think it is part of a wider | :58:37. | :58:45. | |
problem. I know you said you have experience stick in the past, that | :58:46. | :58:49. | |
anxiety is not recognised as a disability by many people all, if it | :58:50. | :58:55. | |
is, it is not anywhere near as debilitating as others might be? One | :58:56. | :59:01. | |
in ten others experience anxiety at any time, one in four experience | :59:02. | :59:07. | |
mental health illness. It is very debilitating and we need to stop | :59:08. | :59:12. | |
thinking of it as an namby-pamby, woolly condition. It is a very | :59:13. | :59:16. | |
serious condition for those people living with it and it has a knock-on | :59:17. | :59:21. | |
effect to family and work and we need to really start talking about | :59:22. | :59:26. | |
it. As I explain my book there are practical tips and techniques we can | :59:27. | :59:31. | |
embrace to try to normalise anxiety, try to cope with it and to also it | :59:32. | :59:38. | |
seriously. We all have it, it is a good thing in many cases, it is when | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
it becomes life limiting, which it does for me and has done for me. I | :59:43. | :59:50. | |
am now a therapist, hence I wrote Breaking Matt, we need to accept | :59:51. | :59:54. | |
that we need to take a step back, talk about it and give it the | :59:55. | :59:58. | |
respect it deserves -- which is why I wrote Breaking Mad. Give us some | :59:59. | :00:06. | |
examples of how anxiety affects you, day to day, and why it would be life | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
limiting? Lots of people experience panic attacks, which can be | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
constructs and in the chest, feeling wretched, not being able to go out, | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
social anxiety. It affects you physically because you do not feel | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
able to do anything, communicate with anybody or feel sane, should I | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
say, I hope you excuse me for using that word but you do not feel very | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
same when you are experiencing anxiety. I would urge anyone | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
watching this morning to talk about it, you are not alone, millions are | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
separate, there is help, that is why I wrote the book, please do not | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
suffer in silence. Thank you, Anna, good to talk to | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
you. Today is Shrove Tuesday, or, | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
as many hungry people now Thank you for sending us your | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
pictures. If you want to impress your friends | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
and family, then sugar and lemon A flat pancake. Why not go more | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
elaborate? We asked chef Andrew Nutter | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
for his tips on taking pancake You want to take your normal | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
pancake mixture, add a few We have red, blue, | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
and the normal pancake mixture. It depends how creative | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
you want to be. As we work on the stove, | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
it is starting to set. You can eat pancakes all year round, | :01:35. | :01:45. | |
but you need to get them out The heat of the pan | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
is starting to set it. You do not want it too high, | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
because it will make the colours Here is one for you | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
guys in the studio. Indeed! The big finish! | :02:00. | :02:27. | |
I will try that later. I get the novelty pancake thing, but your | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
lemon juice will just seep out, maple syrup all over the show! Plus | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
less pancake. I am going for double figures tonight. | :02:37. | :02:37. | |
We asked for your top pancake tips and we have been | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
inundated with pictures of your Shrove Tuesday action. | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
Richard in Cornwall tweeted this picture of the personalised pancakes | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
Obviously one like strawberries, the other does not. | :02:49. | :02:58. | |
Kate's pancakes are made with beetroot and buckwheat flour. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
I like the colour! But just have a normal pancake. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Sorry! Andy emailed us this shot | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
of a pancake he made that he thinks What?! I don't see that. Apologies, | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
your Majesty. Allen has had a go at pancake | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
tossing, but it went a bit wrong. Did that really happen?! | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
There could be a nice new Barnet for Alan. Look how concerned he looks! I | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
wonder if that is real? Who knows? We'll be talking Incredible Medicine | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
with the presenter of the BBC series in just a moment - | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
but first a last, brief look at the headlines | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
where you are this morning. The ordinary human body | :03:44. | :05:21. | |
is a fascinating thing in itself, but a new series is looking at some | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
of the world's most extraordinary medical cases to see | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
what we can learn from them. It's hoped that by studying why | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
these bodies have been able to endure extreme trauma that we'll | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
be able to learn more to help We'll talk about some | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
of the cases featured in the programme in a minute, | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
but first let's take a look. Thanks to its remarkable plasticity, | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
the remaining half of Jodie's brain A lot of times I'll joke | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
that they took out of the mean side of my brain and they only left | :05:55. | :06:05. | |
the happy side. For me, as a doctor, | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Jodie's story's a really inspiring example of the fact that our bodies | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
may be capable of a whole lot more than we think they are, | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
if only we are prepared to give Life now with half a brain, for me, | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
is no different than anybody else. I've been married four years, | :06:22. | :06:34. | |
I live on my own with my husband. I work, I work with | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
a little boy with ADHD. And I do everything any | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
other person would do. If you would have asked me 25 years | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
ago if it was possible to take out half the brain and still have | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
functioning life, I would have said, I'm really glad my parents did | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
what they did, because I wouldn't be where I am now if I had had | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
the surgery any later. Presenter and surgeon | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
Gabriel Weston joins us now. Good morning. Jodie has an amazing | :07:13. | :07:22. | |
story, what we didn't tell the viewers at home was that she | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
effectively has half a brain. Yes, Jodie is in an incredibly rare group | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
of people, as a child she caught a disease called Rasmussen Sankova | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
lighters, which affects fewer than one person in 10 million. -- and | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
kept the lighters. One side of the brain becomes very flames, nobody | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
knows what causes it and as a result patients have lots of fates which do | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
not respond to drugs in the way that others do, in the case of Jodie she | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
and her parents were told when she was about three that she was fitting | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
approximately every three minutes, unless they removed an entire | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
hemisphere, one whole part of her brain, her fits would get worse and | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
it was really the only option for her. When I first found out about | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
this recently I didn't know it was possible and I thought that doing | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
that would be catastrophic, yet you have seen Jodie now in her 20s | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
leading a very full life. We will look at another case in a | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
moment, a guy who can withstand extreme cold, but I guess the show | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
is about using cutting edge techniques to find out not just | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
about these rare issues but Howard can affect us and what we can learn | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
as a society more generally? Exactly right, the show has about six | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
patients per episode, there are six episodes, we are looking at a large | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
number of people and each of them has something about them that is | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
really, really extraordinary, either very unusual disease like the one | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
that Jodie had all, if you like, a superpower, something that makes | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
somebody a bit more able to do things than most of us. We are | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
really trying to use those unusual cases to reflect on how we all work, | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
to try to take the rare and use that to shine a light on the common. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
You talk about superpowers, I would love this. | :09:20. | :09:20. | |
You also explore the case of Wim Hof, who can | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
They took some key measurements to find out exactly | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
what happens in Wim's body when he is encased in ice. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Mattias is a researcher at the University. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
All kind of things are measured, so we measured metabolism | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
and we measured, of course, his skin temperature and all kinds | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
of other biometrics, to learn more about this interesting | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
ability of his to withstand extreme cold. | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
The tests revealed that when he's in ice, Wim's core | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
temperature doesn't drop, as you'd expect. | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
It sounds impossible, but the scientists have found | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
What we actually found is that the adrenaline levels | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
in the blood went to very high levels, and they were actually | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
higher than in subjects that have bungee jumped for the first time. | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
So right at the end we saw... He went a bit X-Men on us, but he | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
controls his breathing and adrenaline levels. He says that is | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
something we can all learn to do, which is sort of like a superpower? | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
Absolutely, what I love about Wim is he is a classic example of the type | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
of person that doctors feel sceptical about. He is a little bit | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
eccentric, he has a strong belief that he can affect something that | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
usually is not under voluntary control, but there is really | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
something in what he thinks and the scientists are now looking at his | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
special breathing technique which, as you say, to put it in shorthand, | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
he can affect his blood chemistry by the way he breathes in a way that | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
triggers adrenaline production, which heats him up. | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
He literally heats up from the inside, that is why he can withstand | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
these extraordinarily cold temperatures? Exactly, and what is | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
really fascinating about Wim is that he has begun by showing one that is | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
that he does not become hypothermic when put in ice, but this is leading | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
scientists to do tests on him to see if he can control other parts of his | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
immune system, which might be able to help us all to treat diseases | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
which can be quite overwhelming. It is mind blowing. Jodie has half a | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
brain, Wim can control his body temperature bike breathing, did | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
anybody else stand out for you? There is always a very personal | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
thing that seems to be why one particular case grabs you in a big | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
crowd. There is a case later in the series of a family who have | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
identical twin girls, which I also do, who are suffering from a | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
devastating and very rare condition. What is wonderful about their story | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
is that their parents, the parents of the little girls, who have no | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
medical background, completely refuse to accept when the doctors | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
said there is no treatment or cure, they went into the animal research, | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
they did all the reading themselves, they mobilised a drug company, they | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
went to the FDA and this one family suffering from this terrible tragedy | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
has completely changed the way that this disorder is being treated now. | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
That one just really staggered me. What is so beautiful about this | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
series is that it is as much about human valour as it is about disease. | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
There seems to be so much... Be think we are advanced, but so much | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
we can learn. Exactly, there are so many times in | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
medicine as a doctor that you access to what you are taught at medical | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
school as what is available, but there are so many cases in this | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
series were red disorder has led a patient to get together with a | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
doctor to push things where a rare disorder. Amazing. | :13:15. | :13:15. | |
Incredible Medicine: Dr Weston's Casebook | :13:16. | :13:16. | |
We'll be back tomorrow morning from 6am on BBC One. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
We'll be joined by the Bend it Like Beckham film | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
Thank you for watching, enjoy your pancakes and have a lovely day. | :13:30. | :13:34. |
