:00:39. > :00:54.They have voted contents, 358. Not contents, 256. So the contents have

:00:57. > :00:58.for the Brexit Bill Now government sources say ministers

:00:59. > :01:07.will try and overturn Good morning. One in four of us will

:01:08. > :01:11.face a mental health problem at some time in our lives, but is business

:01:12. > :01:15.doing enough to support its staff? I'm here at the rather grand

:01:16. > :01:19.Institute of directors, it represents thousands of companies,

:01:20. > :01:19.to find out if they could be doing more.

:01:36. > :01:38.two accountants behind the mix up are told they'll never work

:01:39. > :01:53.Good morning. Currently we have a band of rain, sleet and snow in the

:01:54. > :01:56.central swathe of the UK, fading through the morning. A lot of dry

:01:57. > :02:01.weather and sunshine around today and wintry showers in the north, and

:02:02. > :02:02.the gusty winds we've had in the south will also slowly ease. More

:02:03. > :02:05.details later on. Carol, thank you. Victims are being let down

:02:06. > :02:10.and suspects left untracked by some police forces in England and Wales

:02:11. > :02:13.according to a report out today. Her Majesty's Inspectorate

:02:14. > :02:15.of Constabulary found a third of forces needed improvement,

:02:16. > :02:18.while a small number were putting the public at unacceptable risk

:02:19. > :02:20.by rationing services Here's our home affairs

:02:21. > :02:38.correspondent, Dominic Casciani. The cornerstone of British policing,

:02:39. > :02:47.the bobby on the beat. But in these vital community posts are eroded

:02:48. > :02:51.as... After five years of budget cuts, some forces aren't making the

:02:52. > :02:55.right tough calls over how to use their resources. It's raised what it

:02:56. > :03:00.calls a red warning flag to those struggling forces. Some have been

:03:01. > :03:03.downgrading Nice nine calls if they're short on officers. That

:03:04. > :03:07.means they don't have to respond as quickly. The Her Majesty's Revenue

:03:08. > :03:14.and Customs also says domestic violence calls to some forces have

:03:15. > :03:17.been downgraded because of lack of specialist officers. Other forces

:03:18. > :03:23.have ignored leads on organised crime because it would stretch their

:03:24. > :03:27.resources. Only Durham is delivering outstanding policing. Neighbourhood

:03:28. > :03:30.policing, but proactive, preventative presence of police

:03:31. > :03:34.officers in communities is eroding even further so that means they're

:03:35. > :03:38.not stopping crime from happening in the first place and that's what the

:03:39. > :03:42.public want to see. This isn't in all forces, many forces still have a

:03:43. > :03:45.really great service in that area, but some forces are beginning to

:03:46. > :03:52.take officers out of neighbourhood policing to focus on other areas,

:03:53. > :03:56.and we're saying absolutely that erosion of neighbourhood policing

:03:57. > :03:59.can't be allowed to happen. The Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs says

:04:00. > :04:03.over most forces are doing well, but a third may be placing the public at

:04:04. > :04:07.unacceptable risk by rationing their resources. Sanjeev Gupta doubles

:04:08. > :04:11.believe the inspectors have got it wrong but their national council

:04:12. > :04:21.says each force is facing difficult decisions over what matters most. --

:04:22. > :04:22.some believe. Her Majesty's Inspectorate -- Dominic Casciani,

:04:23. > :04:23.BBC News. In a statement, the Home Office

:04:24. > :04:25.said that a number of forces still have more work

:04:26. > :04:29.to do, and that this Government has protected police funding,

:04:30. > :04:31.through the 2015 Spending Review. There can be no excuse for any force

:04:32. > :04:34.that fails to deliver Ministers will seek to overturn last

:04:35. > :04:39.night's defeat in the House of Lords on Brexit legislation according

:04:40. > :04:41.to government sources. Peers defied ministers

:04:42. > :04:43.when they voted by a large margin to guarantee the rights

:04:44. > :04:45.of EU nationals living The government said

:04:46. > :04:49.it was disappointed at the first Our political correspondent

:04:50. > :05:02.Carol Walker has the latest on this. What happens now? This was a setback

:05:03. > :05:05.for the government, it wanted the legislation through unscathed as

:05:06. > :05:08.quickly as possible and the scale of the defeat last night I think will

:05:09. > :05:12.embolden its critics. Essentially this was a debate that divided

:05:13. > :05:17.between those who said the government has a moral case to

:05:18. > :05:21.provide certainty and security for some 3 million EU citizens living in

:05:22. > :05:25.the UK, and those who said, look, the government has said it's going

:05:26. > :05:29.to do that as a priority but only part of a wider reciprocal deal that

:05:30. > :05:34.also ensures the rights of more than 1 million British citizens living

:05:35. > :05:38.across the European Union. Now, this bill has to go back to the Commons.

:05:39. > :05:43.The government will be reasonably confident that it can overturn this

:05:44. > :05:48.defeat. But the bill isn't through the Lord's yet, it still could face

:05:49. > :05:53.further defeats on this legislation, and of course this is supposed to be

:05:54. > :05:57.a short straightforward bill to begin the Brexit negotiations. The

:05:58. > :06:01.government's already having a battle on this, there's going to be much

:06:02. > :06:08.more complex legislation as we disentangle British law from EU law,

:06:09. > :06:11.and I think it's a foretaste of the sort of struggles within Parliament

:06:12. > :06:13.the government is going to face over the next two years. Carol, thank you

:06:14. > :06:14.very much. Thank you. Nearly two-thirds of England's

:06:15. > :06:18.hospitals have been rated as inadequate or needing improvement

:06:19. > :06:21.in a major new study The report by the Care

:06:22. > :06:24.Quality Commission also found that four

:06:25. > :06:26.out of five trusts need But more than 90% were judged

:06:27. > :06:39.to be good or outstanding It's the first wide-ranging snapshot

:06:40. > :06:44.of the state of England's major hospitals. The regulator the CQC

:06:45. > :06:48.spent nearly three years carrying out inspections following the Mid

:06:49. > :06:52.Staffordshire patient care scandal. This is the first annual report on

:06:53. > :06:56.all of them. One of the key findings is the wide variation in the quality

:06:57. > :07:01.of services. Across the major hospital trusts in England, 68% have

:07:02. > :07:07.been rated as inadequate or requiring improvement. 81% of trusts

:07:08. > :07:13.are said to need to improve safety. But 93% were rated as good or

:07:14. > :07:16.outstanding for the caring attitude of staff. There is variation between

:07:17. > :07:20.trusts, there is variation within trusts, you can get a very good

:07:21. > :07:23.service within a trust that's struggling or you can get an

:07:24. > :07:29.individual service that is not doing so well in an otherwise good trust.

:07:30. > :07:31.Praise is given to some trusts which have made significant improvements,

:07:32. > :07:38.including university hospitals Bristol. The first to go from

:07:39. > :07:41.requiring improvement direct to outstanding from two inspections. I

:07:42. > :07:46.think the findings of the report are very positive for us. I think in the

:07:47. > :07:49.report it acknowledges a lot of the hard work that this department does

:07:50. > :07:53.and a very positive culture for providing patient care that we have

:07:54. > :07:57.here. The Department of Health said the conference of inspections formed

:07:58. > :08:01.a key part of a plan to make the NHS is the safest and most transparent

:08:02. > :08:04.healthcare system in the world. Hugh Pym, BBC News.

:09:48. > :09:53.The president of the academy and is, arts and sciences has effectively

:09:54. > :09:58.blamed the two accountants who were employed by the Oscars to check the

:09:59. > :10:03.integrity of the results. -- academy of arts. Although it seems as though

:10:04. > :10:08.it was Mr Cullinan at fault, he's been accused of tweeting a picture

:10:09. > :10:11.in the moments before he should have been checking the best picture

:10:12. > :10:16.award. Emma Stone had just come off stage having received her Oscar for

:10:17. > :10:19.La La Land and supposedly Mr Cullinan was taking a photograph of

:10:20. > :10:23.her rather than attending to his work. The result was that he handed

:10:24. > :10:27.over the wrong envelope to the present as Warren Beatty and Faye

:10:28. > :10:34.Dunaway and Bonnie and Clyde went onto the stage and of course we all

:10:35. > :10:37.my what happened next. The academy says it is reviewing its

:10:38. > :10:39.relationship with the accountancy firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, a

:10:40. > :10:43.relationship that goes all the way back to 1934 in terms of counting

:10:44. > :10:47.and checking the results of the Oscars. It's been reported here that

:10:48. > :10:50.the two partners of PricewaterhouseCoopers in question,

:10:51. > :10:54.they are senior partners with the firm, that they are not going to

:10:55. > :10:59.lose their jobs with that company. But, you have to think that in an

:11:00. > :11:04.industry which is entirely built in its reputational terms on being

:11:05. > :11:08.precise, on being accurate, on being reliable, you have to wonder whether

:11:59. > :12:06.Good morning. Good morning. You are right, radical, radical changes are

:12:07. > :12:11.being proposed as the whole idea is to make the game faster, to move it

:12:12. > :12:15.a long a bit wicker and maybe perhaps simpler by, reducing the

:12:16. > :12:19.number of official rules as well -- quicker. To encourage beginners at

:12:20. > :12:24.golf like me to become more committed and perhaps be less

:12:25. > :12:28.confused when they start out. We're going to explain the new rules and

:12:29. > :12:32.how they might affect you if you're a golfer through the morning at this

:12:33. > :12:36.lovely golf club. We're just waiting for the sun to come up and in the

:12:37. > :12:39.next ten minutes we'll be outside on the greens to catch the early

:12:40. > :12:42.morning golfers, the really keen once. I'm really looking forward to

:12:43. > :12:50.that! The main story today in sport: British Cycling and Team

:13:40. > :13:43.rule changes, I will be talking about this morning concerns these.

:13:44. > :13:47.Lovely new shiny golf balls. If you just bought yourself a golf ball,

:13:48. > :13:51.they're about ?3, they can be a bit more expensive, though, and one of

:13:52. > :13:55.the proposed mural changes, instead of having five minutes to search for

:13:56. > :14:00.a lost ball you'll only have three minutes. If you've just spent ?3 on

:14:01. > :14:07.one of those you're going to be under a bit more pressure, quite

:14:08. > :14:10.expensive if you've bought a pack! We will talk about that and the

:14:11. > :14:14.other rule changes, the changes to the game and what they mean for

:14:15. > :14:17.players up and down the country. I expect people will be delighted

:14:18. > :14:21.perhaps but also in sense by that. Thank you very much for that and we

:14:22. > :14:21.will be with you through the morning.

:14:22. > :14:28.It is time now to say good morning to Carol. Good morning to both of

:14:29. > :14:32.you. If you're just a thing outside then it is a nippy start to the day

:14:33. > :14:37.for many parts of the country, it's also breezy but still windy in the

:14:38. > :14:42.south and a bit of rain in the forecast, but not just rain, sleet

:14:43. > :14:45.and snow as well. You can see yesterday's system pushing away, one

:14:46. > :14:49.in the central swathe of the country and another in the far north of

:14:50. > :14:52.Scotland, this one is producing showers but in Northern Ireland,

:14:53. > :14:57.north Wales, north Midlands and northern England we have rain, sleet

:14:58. > :15:01.and snow. Particularly across parts of Cheshire and Lancashire. Through

:15:02. > :15:05.the morning that will fizzle a bit and we will see it replaced by

:15:06. > :15:08.showers. A few showers in the south but into the afternoon, although you

:15:09. > :15:13.could catch one, many will miss them and we're looking at a dry day with

:15:14. > :15:18.sunny skies and the wind continuing to abate. Into Wales, a similar

:15:19. > :15:21.story, a few showers. Northern England, a few showers. Northern

:15:22. > :15:25.Ireland, cloud in over a touch from the south-west ahead of a weather

:15:26. > :15:31.front. Some showers in Scotland, mostly on the hills, they are likely

:15:32. > :15:34.to be wintry at lower levels, in between some sunny skies. Here comes

:15:35. > :15:37.the rain across Northern Ireland with hill snow, that will go

:15:38. > :15:43.eastwards and north through the night. Have rain and hill snow in

:15:44. > :15:47.northern England and parts of Scotland for a time. -- we have.

:15:48. > :15:53.Banex system comes across towards the south bringing rain that the

:15:54. > :15:58.next system. Cold enough for highs on damp surfaces in parts of the

:15:59. > :16:03.north. -- the next system. -- cold enough for highs. Here comes the

:16:04. > :16:09.rain tomorrow, again pushing in from the south, moving north. -- cold

:16:10. > :16:12.enough for highs. Moving through the Midlands, heading up through parts

:16:13. > :16:18.of East Anglia and in the direction of Hull. Tomorrow the best of the

:16:19. > :16:21.weather if you like it dry and sunny will be Northern Scotland with

:16:22. > :16:25.Aberdeen seeing highs of seven, much of the north seeing six, seven or

:16:26. > :16:30.eight and as we come further south, we're looking at between ten and 12.

:16:31. > :16:33.Then as we head through to the weekend, we're still dominated by

:16:34. > :16:37.low pressure, look at the length of the front extending down to the

:16:38. > :16:42.Mediterranean bringing rain and snow to parts of Italy and snow to the

:16:43. > :16:46.Alps. For us it's bringing in some rain. Here's the front extending to

:16:47. > :16:49.the Nick Compton and all the way through northern England, eastern

:16:50. > :16:52.England, through Scotland and Northern Ireland -- the near

:16:53. > :16:56.continent. Behind it we will have bright spells and sunshine but we

:16:57. > :17:01.will have some showers coming in from the south-west. Word

:17:02. > :17:06.temperatures, eight, nine, ten, just ahead of it, 4-6. Into the weekend,

:17:07. > :17:10.the unsettled theme continues. We're still very much dominated by low

:17:11. > :17:14.pressure, rain coming in at times to the south and also the north but

:17:15. > :17:20.some dry weather in between as well so not a complete write-off by any

:17:21. > :17:26.stretch. Well done. We will see you later.

:17:27. > :17:30.We will look at the papers in just a few moments.

:17:31. > :17:32.You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:17:33. > :17:35.The main stories this morning: Victims are being let down

:17:36. > :17:38.and suspects left untracked by some police forces in England and Wales,

:17:39. > :17:41.according to a report from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of

:17:45. > :17:49.Peers voted for an amendment to guarantee the rights of EU

:17:50. > :18:02.We are going to have a quick look at some of the papers this morning,

:18:03. > :18:06.starting with a front page of the Daily Mail. Our lead story this

:18:07. > :18:12.morning as well, these figures in relation to policing in England. The

:18:13. > :18:15.official watchdog says many cases are being shelved without proper

:18:16. > :18:20.investigation and some emergency calls downgraded as victims are left

:18:21. > :18:25.in danger. Orlando Bloom and Kenny Perry have split up, that has made a

:18:26. > :18:30.lot of papers as well. -- Katy Perry. After the Lords vote, Theresa

:18:31. > :18:36.May is described as defiant, determined to push ahead and trigger

:18:37. > :18:40.Article 50 within two weeks. And an interesting story, the Telegraph

:18:41. > :18:45.covering it as well, a groundbreaking new method of safely

:18:46. > :18:50.reviving frozen organs which could, they say, save millions of lives by

:18:51. > :18:54.ending the donor shortage crisis. Researchers have discovered, and

:18:55. > :19:01.this sounds extraordinary, how to rewarm heart valves which have been

:19:02. > :19:06.frozen at lower temperatures. On the front page of the Times, looking at

:19:07. > :19:10.the markets. This is following President Trump's first speech to

:19:11. > :19:16.Congress, many saying it was his most presidential so far, and

:19:17. > :19:19.looking at the market saying new highs. Amongst all the talk of the

:19:20. > :19:24.investment dollar Trump is talking about yesterday. The House of Lords

:19:39. > :19:46.they have a quote from his partner of 11 years, up to his death, saying

:19:47. > :19:54.Ricky is a full, it is nonsense. There you go then. That is what she

:19:55. > :19:57.says. The Sun interested in sausages, saying healthy bangers

:19:58. > :20:06.just as fatty as normal sausages. And a health warning, a Breakfast

:20:07. > :20:09.warning on this one. I was going to go swimming today and I probably

:20:10. > :20:15.still will, but maybe I will think about things differently. What is

:20:16. > :20:18.the reason? The reason is they have done a survey of rules and they have

:20:19. > :20:23.tried to discover how much you're in, to put it politely, is in a

:20:24. > :20:30.pool. It turns out 75 litres in an Olympic sized pool -- urine. They

:20:31. > :20:34.have done various figures, and 19% is the proportion of adults who

:20:35. > :20:42.confessed in an anonymous survey to having been to the loo in the pool,

:20:43. > :20:47.to put it that way. 100% was the proportion of Pools within which a

:20:48. > :20:53.proportion of urine was detected and if you are wondering why there is a

:20:54. > :21:00.picture of Ryan Lochte, US Olympic swimming team member, he has said

:21:01. > :21:06.very openly that he pees in the pool. On the upside, it is worse if

:21:07. > :21:11.you go into a hot tub. Hot tubs are a lot worse, a lot worse. I shall

:21:12. > :21:14.make sure my goggles are firmly fixed to my face. Sorry about that,

:21:15. > :21:16.but we thought you needed to know. There will be at least two years

:21:17. > :21:19.of difficult negotiations for the Prime Minister before

:21:20. > :21:21.leaving the European Union, and last night the Government

:21:22. > :21:25.faced its first test in the Lords. More than 100 peers voted

:21:26. > :21:27.against the Government, insisting there should be

:21:28. > :21:29.a guarantee that EU nationals will have the right

:21:30. > :21:32.to stay in the UK. Lord Robert Kerslake

:21:33. > :21:33.voted for the amendment. He joins us now from our

:21:34. > :21:39.Westminster studio. Good morning to you. Thank you very

:21:40. > :21:42.much indeed for joining us. Obviously it is a point of

:21:43. > :21:46.principle, but why disagree with the government on this? The government

:21:47. > :21:50.say they are concerned about these rights but you have a fundamental

:21:51. > :21:55.disagreement. Yes, I think everybody agreed that these are EU citizens

:21:56. > :21:59.that have come to this country in good faith and were making enormous

:22:00. > :22:03.contributions. The question was should we end the uncertainty for

:22:04. > :22:07.them now or throw this issue into the negotiations and seek the

:22:08. > :22:13.bargain it against UK nationals living in Europe. And I think the

:22:14. > :22:17.view of the House of Lords overwhelmingly was that the right

:22:18. > :22:22.thing to do was to try and sort this issue out now and take our own

:22:23. > :22:26.decision. OK, so you have sent it back to the Commons effectively. The

:22:27. > :22:30.likelihood is it will come back to you in the same form. Are we

:22:31. > :22:34.entering an endless ping-pong with this? I don't think it will be

:22:35. > :22:38.endless ping-pong but I do hope the government won't just send it back,

:22:39. > :22:41.and think carefully about the arguments made. It was a long,

:22:42. > :22:47.passionate and very well argued debate. Some excellent points were

:22:48. > :22:52.made, not least of which that the ex- patriot who represent UK people

:22:53. > :22:56.abroad were absolutely clear that they wanted action to be taken now

:22:57. > :23:01.to support EU nationals. They didn't want to be a bargaining chip, and I

:23:02. > :23:06.think that is something that the government should take notice of. I

:23:07. > :23:10.will review the government response. Our position on EU nationals has

:23:11. > :23:13.repeatedly been made clear. We want to guarantee the rights of EU

:23:14. > :23:16.citizens who are already living in Britain and the rights of the dish

:23:17. > :23:21.nationals living in other member states as early as we can. By making

:23:22. > :23:25.it clear now, if it went the way you wanted it, are you not undermining

:23:26. > :23:32.the ability to negotiate? Well, I don't think so. In fact, the risk is

:23:33. > :23:36.here that as soon as we can ends up being two years of EU negotiators

:23:37. > :23:40.decide, and it is very likely that they will, that they want to deal

:23:41. > :23:44.with all the issues together in a single deal. So we have this

:23:45. > :23:49.enormous uncertainty. By the way, this is not just a moral argument.

:23:50. > :23:52.It is an economic argument. We absolutely need the builders, the

:23:53. > :23:57.nurses, the doctors, the care workers, who have come over from

:23:58. > :24:01.Europe to work in this country. Indeed, the university academics as

:24:02. > :24:05.well. So this is not a question just of morals. It is a question of what

:24:06. > :24:19.is good for this country as well. And I don't think we can just leave

:24:20. > :24:23.it to chance for a negotiation that hasn't even started yet. And by the

:24:24. > :24:26.way, as I said earlier, if we are interested in what the views of UK

:24:27. > :24:30.nationals abroad is, they are very clear that they would like to see

:24:31. > :24:32.these issues sorted now. I am sure we will talk about this again, thank

:24:33. > :24:32.you. You are watching

:24:33. > :24:34.Breakfast from BBC News. Ben is looking at how workplaces

:24:35. > :24:39.are aiming to treat mental health problems as seriously

:24:40. > :24:46.as physical health ones. Good morning, guys. It is one of

:24:47. > :24:51.those things, it is really easy to talk about health and safety at work

:24:52. > :24:54.but the safety part is quite easy for business. It is about stopping

:24:55. > :24:58.accidents, trips and falls and things which you can record on a

:24:59. > :25:01.chart. But health and particularly mental health is much more

:25:02. > :25:05.difficult, because there is often not ones that cause and one set

:25:06. > :25:09.solution, and many of the problems can occur many, many years after

:25:10. > :25:13.people have been in perhaps stressful situations or faced

:25:14. > :25:17.higgledy. So we are in the very grand surroundings of the Institute

:25:18. > :25:21.of directors, which is launching a mental health initiative for its

:25:22. > :25:25.30,000 members, companies up and down the country, about what they

:25:26. > :25:29.can do to support and help staff who may be going through difficult

:25:30. > :25:32.times. So over the course of the morning we will speak to the

:25:33. > :25:36.Institute of Directors, find out what the initiative is about, and

:25:37. > :25:39.what it is hoping to achieve, but we will also hear some personal stories

:25:40. > :25:44.of people who have faced difficulty at work, who are now dealing with

:25:45. > :25:45.depression and anxiety. We will hear those stories at about 20 minutes.

:25:46. > :29:04.Before we do that, I'm back with the latest

:29:05. > :29:14.from the BBC London newsroom Plenty more on our website

:29:15. > :29:18.at the usual address. Now, though, it is back

:29:19. > :29:20.to Charlie and Louise. with Louise Minchin and Charlie

:29:25. > :29:28.and sport in a moment, Splashing colour and

:29:29. > :29:31.creativity on our streets, we'll see why more councils

:29:32. > :29:34.are happy to let street artists opened its doors to a documentary

:29:35. > :29:41.crew for the first time. We'll talk to their concierges

:29:42. > :29:44.about the most outrageous and expensive requests

:29:46. > :29:48.a last minute fancy dress outfit for your child this morning,

:29:49. > :29:51.you'll know it's World Book Day, but is it encouraging

:29:52. > :29:53.kids to read more? The author Frank Cottrell Boyce

:29:54. > :29:56.will give us his view later. But now a summary of this

:29:57. > :30:01.morning's main news. Victims are being let down

:30:02. > :30:04.and suspects left untracked by some police forces in England and Wales

:30:05. > :30:07.according to a report out today. Her Majesty's Inspectorate

:30:08. > :30:10.of Constabulary found a third It saig a small number were putting

:30:11. > :30:14.the public at unacceptable risk by rationing services

:30:15. > :30:16.as they struggle with cutbacks. Here's our home affairs

:30:17. > :30:28.correspondent, Dominic Casciani. The cornerstone of British policing,

:30:29. > :30:31.the bobby on the beat. But are these vital forces

:30:32. > :30:33.being eroded as forces That's one of the warnings

:30:34. > :30:37.in a stark report from Her Majesty's After five years of budget cuts,

:30:38. > :30:43.some forces aren't making the right tough calls over how

:30:44. > :30:45.to use their resources. It's raised what it

:30:46. > :30:48.calls a red warning flag Some have been downgrading 999 calls

:30:49. > :30:53.if they're short on officers. That means they don't have

:30:54. > :30:55.to respond as quickly. The HMIC also says domestic violence

:30:56. > :30:59.calls to some forces have been downgraded because of lack

:31:00. > :31:08.of specialist officers. Other forces have ignored leads

:31:09. > :31:10.on organised crime because it Only Durham is delivering

:31:11. > :31:22.outstanding policing. Neighbourhood policing,

:31:23. > :31:23.that proactive, preventative presence of police officers

:31:24. > :31:26.in communities is eroding even further so that means they're not

:31:27. > :31:29.stopping crime from happening in the first place and that's

:31:30. > :31:32.what the public want to see. This isn't in all forces,

:31:33. > :31:35.many forces still have a really great service in that area,

:31:36. > :31:37.but some forces are beginning to take officers out

:31:38. > :31:40.of neighbourhood policing to focus on other areas, and we're saying

:31:41. > :31:42.absolutely that erosion of neighbourhood policing can't

:31:43. > :31:48.be allowed to happen. The HMIC says overall most

:31:49. > :31:51.forces are doing well, but a third may be placing

:31:52. > :31:53.the public at unacceptable risk Some Chief Constables believe

:31:54. > :31:58.the inspectors have got it wrong, but their national council says each

:31:59. > :32:00.force is facing difficult decisions In a statement, the Home Office said

:32:01. > :32:14.that a number of forces still have

:32:15. > :32:16.more work to do And that the Government has

:32:17. > :32:18.protected police funding, It adds there can be no excuse

:32:19. > :32:23.for any force that fails to deliver The government says it will seek

:32:24. > :32:29.to overturn a demand by the House of Lords that EU citizens living

:32:33. > :32:36.when they voted by a large margin to guarantee their rights

:32:37. > :32:39.but the Prime Minister, Theresa May, has said that should be

:32:40. > :32:41.negotiated alongside a deal for British citizens

:35:01. > :35:03.Yeah. Now, if you're a golf fan you may be

:35:04. > :35:07.interested to know that the game's governing bodies have proposed

:35:08. > :35:09.a major shake-up to the rules They're thought to be the biggest

:35:10. > :35:14.changes to the game in a generation. She's at Mere Golf Club

:35:15. > :35:25.in Cheshire this morning. There will be... I can see it's

:35:26. > :35:29.raining... There will be changes to do with putting as well, weren't

:35:30. > :35:35.there? There will. As you join me the heavens have opened. You have to

:35:36. > :35:39.be keen to be on the greens here, changes to putting, one of the most

:35:40. > :35:43.important rules that will change is if you putt and the flag is in and

:35:44. > :35:48.the ball hits it and goes in you will no longer be penalised. We will

:35:49. > :35:52.see a significant change there. Flags like this staying in and the

:35:53. > :35:56.ball going in, no penalty at all. I'll explain in a bit more detail

:35:57. > :36:00.what the rule changes will mean with the lady captain from this golf club

:36:01. > :36:05.here, who has arrived especially early to talk to us. But elsewhere

:36:06. > :36:06.in sport, a big day of evidence giving yesterday.

:36:07. > :36:08.British Cycling has acknowledged serious failings in its record

:36:09. > :36:10.keeping after being criticised by the woman in charge

:36:11. > :36:14.Nicole Sapstead told a committee of MPs that UK

:36:15. > :36:16.Anti-Doping's investigation into wrongdoing in the sport has

:36:17. > :36:19.been hampered by problems with medical record keeping.

:36:23. > :36:28.delivered to Team Sky in France six years ago.

:36:29. > :36:36.What we're trying to establish in our enquiry is how does British

:36:37. > :36:40.cycling and Team Sky administer the anti-doping policies to ensure their

:36:41. > :36:43.riders and their team is clean. And what we've heard today is they

:36:44. > :36:47.don't. So I think it's a pretty damning indictment of the way things

:36:48. > :36:49.have been run in British cycling and at Team Sky that we should now be

:36:50. > :36:50.left in this position. Manchester City are through to

:36:51. > :36:53.the last eight of the FA Cup in their replay against Huddersfield

:36:54. > :36:56.Town. on to this goal from Harry

:37:00. > :37:02.in control, Sergio Aguero They'll play Middlesborough

:37:03. > :37:15.in the next round. This looks like a joke. In the last

:37:16. > :37:22.two years I think in the cup we didn't play one game away. Good for

:37:23. > :37:28.their players because at the end our fans could see a game in the cup

:37:29. > :37:30.here because I don't know what happened in the drawers, but every

:37:31. > :37:37.time all the time we play away. We said before whatever happens

:37:38. > :37:43.tonight it has no influence on what is in front of us and the

:37:44. > :37:46.Championship. Even after this result and this performance, it counts. I

:37:47. > :37:51.think we weren't at our best today, we have to be honest. We've shown

:37:52. > :37:54.too much respect in my opinion and made too many mistakes.

:37:55. > :37:57.Celtic are now 27 points clear at the top

:37:58. > :38:00.Scott Sinclair and two Moussa Dembele goals helped them

:38:01. > :38:03.to a 4-0 win over bottom side Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

:38:04. > :38:06.There were also wins for Rangers, Ross County and Partick Thistle.

:38:07. > :38:08.England's women suffered a disappointing defeat

:38:09. > :38:10.in their opening match of the SheBelieves Cup in Philadelphia.

:39:03. > :39:08.He fought back after losing the first set to Gael Monfils

:39:09. > :39:12.to take the second, but was swept aside by the world number 12

:39:13. > :39:28.Now, I promised you the ladies captain here at Golf Club, and here

:39:29. > :39:34.she is. I guess you're used to this -- Mere. I am, I play in this all

:39:35. > :39:38.the time! How much difference will this make to amateur golfers playing

:39:39. > :39:42.for fun? I think it will make a great difference. We all want a

:39:43. > :39:46.better pace of game and all the rules I have read and the changes

:39:47. > :39:50.proposed are common sense and it will make things less complicated,

:39:51. > :39:55.like the flagstick being left in the hole when you're putting and also

:39:56. > :39:59.being able to repair spike marks, we've always been able to repair

:40:00. > :40:05.divot marks and pitch marks but not spike marks. What does that mean? On

:40:06. > :40:09.your shoes, there are cleats or metal spikes and as golfers walk

:40:10. > :40:12.around they flick up pieces of grass. They should pack them down

:40:13. > :40:19.themselves but it doesn't always happen so now you can do that to get

:40:20. > :40:23.a fair goal at the whole. One of the problems is participation is

:40:24. > :40:28.dropping so this is one of the ways of getting more people into the game

:40:29. > :40:32.because it might not take so long. We need more ladies of all age

:40:33. > :40:36.groups, school mums and young professionals, if the game can be

:40:37. > :40:40.done at a better pace, the rules are less complicated and easier to

:40:41. > :40:46.follow then I think everybody will be happy to play. Helen, thank you.

:40:47. > :40:51.That might be a bit of a challenge, you're going to teach me later,

:40:52. > :40:56.aren't you? I am. Good luck to you, that's all I can say. There will be

:40:57. > :40:58.a lot of confusion as well! Thanks very much, Sally. See you later.

:40:59. > :41:01.We know what it's like to function on just a few hours sleep

:41:02. > :41:05.But it turns out we have nothing on African elephants in the wild.

:41:06. > :41:08.Scientists have discovered they sleep for less time

:41:09. > :41:12.Yes, they often manage on just two hours sleep a day.

:41:13. > :41:15.It's a mystery why an animal known for its incredible memory can

:41:16. > :41:19.Joining us now to tell more about their sleeping habits

:41:20. > :41:21.is Robert Young, Professor in Wildlife Conservation

:41:22. > :41:29.Lovely to see you, thanks very much. They've done a study on two

:41:30. > :41:34.elephants but they put a monitoring device in their trunks, didn't they?

:41:35. > :41:37.They put one of these wearable fitness monitors on the trunk of the

:41:38. > :41:42.element which basically tells you how much the elephant is moving

:41:43. > :41:45.around -- elephant. Elephants when they sleep strangely don't waggle

:41:46. > :41:49.around their trunk so if the trunk is still for a long period you know

:41:50. > :41:53.they're asleep. It turns out these two elephants don't sleep very much.

:41:54. > :41:57.Surprisingly for the scientists we found out they were sleeping only

:41:58. > :42:03.two hours whereas elephants in zoos would sleep five to six hours.

:42:04. > :42:08.Forgive my ignorance, how does an elephant sleep, do they lie down?

:42:09. > :42:16.They have to types of sleep, the standing sleep, the non- REM sleep,

:42:17. > :42:20.then you have the REM sleep, often you see people's eyes moving

:42:21. > :42:24.backwards and forwards and they only do that lying down. The two hours we

:42:25. > :42:31.are talking about, is that the lying down sleep or standing up? It

:42:32. > :42:37.incorporates both but they do mainly lying down sleep. What is the reason

:42:38. > :42:41.behind their lack of sleep? They are a large herbivore with nowhere to

:42:42. > :42:45.hide in an environment full of large predators like lions. You got to

:42:46. > :42:50.stay awake because your kids are food for the lions. They are

:42:51. > :42:53.constantly on guard as it were? There are certain pride is that

:42:54. > :42:59.specialise in taking elephant calves. You mention they sleep the

:43:00. > :43:04.least of all mammals, is there a chart of who sleeps in least, what

:43:05. > :43:09.other mammals do we know about? We know other animals that don't sleep

:43:10. > :43:13.much are large herbivores, zebras, horses, giraffes don't sleep very

:43:14. > :43:17.much and on the other end of the scale we know species like bats

:43:18. > :43:21.sleep a lot and small rodents sleep a lot because they are small and

:43:22. > :43:27.they can hide and sleep safe so they can afford to sleep for a long time.

:43:28. > :43:31.Whales and dolphins sleep with half their brain sleep? Exactly. They

:43:32. > :43:36.need to breathe, so they keep coming up to breathe and therefore they

:43:37. > :43:41.sleep half a brain at the time so a blue whale will sleep more than an

:43:42. > :43:44.elephant, about nine hours, but only half their brain at the time. Sleep

:43:45. > :43:48.patterns are fascinating. I'm surprised, did we not know much

:43:49. > :43:52.about African elephant sleep patterns before, you would have

:43:53. > :43:55.thought it would have been studied previously? The difficulty was

:43:56. > :44:00.defining when the animal was asleep and it wasn't just resting, this new

:44:01. > :44:03.technology has allowed us to make that definition with more certainty

:44:04. > :44:07.that the animal is asleep rather than just resting. Very interesting,

:44:08. > :44:13.thank you for seeing as this morning. Thank you. Shall we catch

:44:14. > :44:17.up on the weather. Good morning, what a beautiful picture.

:44:18. > :44:23.Isn't it, Glencoe, a stunning picture. Good morning. This morning

:44:24. > :44:26.we are looking at some snow on the hills, breezy and windy across

:44:27. > :44:31.England and Wales, especially the south and we have some rain. You can

:44:32. > :44:34.see on the satellite what's been happening, there goes the first

:44:35. > :44:38.system and here's the second in the central swathe of the country and

:44:39. > :44:42.third in the far north. A windy night in southern England and Wales.

:44:43. > :44:46.The wind still quite gusty but through the morning it will ease.

:44:47. > :44:51.We've also got a line of cloud in Northern Ireland, parts of northern

:44:52. > :44:55.England, Wales and East Anglia producing rain and sleet and mostly

:44:56. > :44:59.hill snow but this morning you could see snow at low levels in parts of

:45:00. > :45:03.Cheshire and Lancashire. By the afternoon for southern England and

:45:04. > :45:07.East Anglia, the Midlands and Wales, the winds will be easing, the sun

:45:08. > :45:11.will come out and there will be fewer showers around, many missing

:45:12. > :45:16.showers that are around altogether. A bright spell for Northern Ireland,

:45:17. > :45:21.it won't last, the cloud will build and we have showers continuing in

:45:22. > :45:25.the north-west of Scotland with gusty winds, the showers on the tops

:45:26. > :45:28.of the hills will also fall as snow. Through the evening and overnight,

:45:29. > :45:31.then surely the rain arrives in Northern Ireland with hill snow

:45:32. > :45:34.associated, moving into northern England and Scotland, here we will

:45:35. > :45:39.see hill snow for a time. In the other end of the country it is rain

:45:40. > :45:43.coming from the south, across the Channel Islands and into the

:45:44. > :45:47.Midlands. It won't be cold enough in parts of Scotland for the risk of

:45:48. > :45:53.ice on untreated surfaces first thing -- will be. It is damp so bear

:45:54. > :45:56.that in mind. Tomorrow we have these two distinctive bands of rain moving

:45:57. > :46:00.northwards, the lion's share of the sunshine tomorrow will be across

:46:01. > :46:03.Scotland and it could brighten up for a time in northern England but

:46:04. > :46:08.milder conditions in the south. Double figures. Ahead of these bands

:46:09. > :46:12.of rain we're still looking at six, seven, eight, still feeling a bit on

:46:13. > :46:16.the nippy side. As we head on through Saturday we have low

:46:17. > :46:20.pressure still in charge. A great big weather front wrapped all the

:46:21. > :46:25.way around it, that is producing rain and snow in parts of the Alps

:46:26. > :46:29.and Italy. When it comes to our shores, it's producing rain and you

:46:30. > :46:32.can see it across eastern England, northern England, Scotland and

:46:33. > :46:36.Northern Ireland. Behind it, brighter conditions coming through

:46:37. > :46:40.with sunshine in the south-east. But also some showers as well.

:46:41. > :46:47.Temperatures behind it, 8-10, but ahead of it, seven and eight. Even

:46:48. > :46:51.as we head into Sunday we're still dominated by low pressure, so still

:46:52. > :46:55.unsettled. Rain and showers at times but equally there will be some dry

:46:56. > :47:00.weather to look forward to as well, so by no means... Although it

:47:01. > :47:04.remains unsettled by no means is that whether a complete write-off.

:47:05. > :47:07.Millions of people live with or have suffered from mental health issues,

:47:08. > :47:10.and most people still have to get up and go work,

:47:11. > :47:12.even if that feels extremely difficult.

:47:13. > :47:15.Ben is looking at how workplaces are aiming to treat mental health

:47:16. > :47:17.problems as seriously as physical health ones.

:47:18. > :47:31.Good morning, guys. Welcome to the Institute of Direct is. This

:47:32. > :47:35.organisation represents thousands of businesses up and down the country.

:47:36. > :47:39.Today they are launching their mental health initiative, looking at

:47:40. > :47:42.what firms can be doing to support staff going through mental health

:47:43. > :47:52.problems -- Institute of Directors. It is easy to talk about health and

:47:53. > :47:56.safety, which involves preventing accidents, but mental health can be

:47:57. > :48:00.difficult to spot and it is often many years later that the problems

:48:01. > :48:06.come to the fore. With me are two guests who can explain a bit more.

:48:07. > :48:11.Madeline is with the mental health charity Mind, and Sam is a partner

:48:12. > :48:15.at a city law firm. Sam, you have been through this. Talk me through

:48:16. > :48:19.how you first came aware that you were facing a problem. I think it is

:48:20. > :48:24.safe to say that at first I had no idea of really what was happening to

:48:25. > :48:28.me. I was tired, I couldn't sleep, I was crying, you know, hiding behind

:48:29. > :48:32.my computer screen. You know, you don't know what causes these things,

:48:33. > :48:36.and then I remember very clearly sitting at my desk one day

:48:37. > :48:43.confronted by papers, which I've always done, and I couldn't for the

:48:44. > :48:47.life of me read what was in them. It was pages and pages and I had no

:48:48. > :48:53.idea, that culminated in visits to various medical practitioners and

:48:54. > :48:56.some time off. And that in itself is difficult, because recognising it as

:48:57. > :49:01.a problem is the hardest bit. It is not that you have had a bad day, a

:49:02. > :49:05.bad week or a bad month but it is recognising something was wrong, and

:49:06. > :49:09.that for you was very difficult. Absolutely, I have been a textbook

:49:10. > :49:14.case of a successful professional career, and this was the one thing I

:49:15. > :49:18.could always hold on to and I couldn't do it, but I absolutely

:49:19. > :49:21.wasn't going to admit that I had depression or anxiety or anything

:49:22. > :49:27.which you might badge as a mental health illness. And it is about

:49:28. > :49:32.identifying where it crosses a line between a bad day and when you need

:49:33. > :49:37.to get help for it. Remap and that is where the role of employees comes

:49:38. > :49:41.in. As you said, people know something is wrong but they don't

:49:42. > :49:45.know what is wrong, and they are not willing to put their hand up and say

:49:46. > :49:49.they need some help. That is why you need support from employers to say

:49:50. > :49:53.that if you do need help this is a conversation you can have here. And

:49:54. > :49:56.what was the point when you decided you needed help, and how did that

:49:57. > :50:01.work? We have been talking about that already, and it wasn't quite so

:50:02. > :50:06.straightforward. It started with a visit to my GP to say I couldn't

:50:07. > :50:10.sleep, I was perhaps trying to give her a more subtle message but I

:50:11. > :50:14.couldn't articulate it. I also started seeing a therapist, and the

:50:15. > :50:20.situation just deteriorated and my GP said I am going to refer you to a

:50:21. > :50:24.psychiatrist. Q complete meltdown, and I was effectively dragged their

:50:25. > :50:30.kicking and screaming -- cue. It was the best thing I did, best thing I

:50:31. > :50:34.did. And it is the stigma which puts a lot of people off, the fear it

:50:35. > :50:40.will damage your job prospects, maybe promotion, maybe you will is

:50:41. > :50:42.seen as weak in the workplace. It is a high-pressure environment, and

:50:43. > :50:46.that could be putting off people getting help. Absolutely, for many

:50:47. > :50:51.years we have not seen mental health in the same way as we see physical

:50:52. > :50:54.health. If you have a sore leg you are not afraid to tell people but

:50:55. > :50:58.with mental health there still seems to be this barrier to people saying

:50:59. > :51:01.things are not quite right and I could do with some help. We are

:51:02. > :51:08.seeing progress and change, especially as employers are signing

:51:09. > :51:12.up to the Time to Change pledge, and workplaces of all kinds are called

:51:13. > :51:16.upon to say I need some help, and the sooner they do that, the better

:51:17. > :51:20.for the individual but also the better for the business. And Sam,

:51:21. > :51:23.what would you like to see differently? What would have made it

:51:24. > :51:40.easier for you, going through what you faced?

:51:41. > :51:42.I think the most important thing is normalising

:51:43. > :51:45.the language and normalising the discussion.

:51:46. > :51:52.So there you have it, that is really the challenge that many businesses

:51:53. > :52:00.are facing. How can they offer help for staff with problems which

:52:01. > :52:03.I think the most important thing is normalising

:52:04. > :52:04.the language and normalising the discussion.

:52:05. > :52:07.So there you have it, that is really the challenge that

:52:08. > :52:15.We will have more of my report just after seven a.m.. It is really

:52:16. > :52:16.important to talk about it, and we will hear from them again.

:52:17. > :52:18.Details of organisations offering information and support with mental

:52:19. > :52:20.health are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline,

:52:21. > :52:24.or you can call for free at any time to hear recorded information

:52:25. > :52:45.Street art is being embraced by some councils around the UK as a novel

:52:46. > :52:47.way to bring a splash of colour and regeneration

:52:48. > :52:51.The London borough of Croydon has become the latest to announce that

:52:52. > :52:53.more sites there are to be spray-painted.

:52:54. > :52:56.But, for some people, it is not so different to illegal

:52:57. > :52:58.graffiti, which authorities spend millions of pounds

:52:59. > :53:12.Breakfast's Tim Muffett has been finding out more.

:53:13. > :53:23.In Croydon, street art is spreading. It looks nice on empty buildings,

:53:24. > :53:33.gives it a bit of colour. No, not for me, really. For two years, with

:53:34. > :53:37.the blessing of the Council, artists like Sky High have been spraying

:53:38. > :53:41.walls and buildings. When you see graffiti and it is well done, it

:53:42. > :53:46.does look quite nice. Some of it is not too bad, but some of it I can't

:53:47. > :53:49.make sense of it. This is the man co-ordinating it. What impact does

:53:50. > :53:55.this have on an area? It brings people together. The thing is, kind

:53:56. > :53:59.of, art is something that transcends all parts of the community. As long

:54:00. > :54:03.as it causes a reaction and engages you, I think that is what is

:54:04. > :54:13.important. I think it is brilliant, to be honest. No. Why don't you like

:54:14. > :54:18.it? Council is not just in the UK and Europe but from South America

:54:19. > :54:21.contact us and say how can they redo what we have done? Croydon Council

:54:22. > :54:25.recently commissioned more street art on more buildings. Other

:54:26. > :54:31.councils have been supporting it in designated places. Glasgow,

:54:32. > :54:34.Brighton, black pool, Norwich and Bristol, where the most famous

:54:35. > :54:40.street artist of all, Banksy, first made his mark. I think a lot of

:54:41. > :54:45.councils have a confused perspective on graffiti and street art. On the

:54:46. > :54:49.one hand they are still penalising people for producing it and graffiti

:54:50. > :54:51.artists are still going to prison for producing graffiti whereas now

:54:52. > :54:58.councils are also supporting street art. Anthropologist Raphael has

:54:59. > :55:03.studied the spread and impact of street art and graffiti. What is the

:55:04. > :55:06.difference? Councils spend millions removing illegal graffiti but

:55:07. > :55:11.sometimes street art is created without permission. If it is by

:55:12. > :55:14.banks eat it can be worth a fortune. There is this kind of passive

:55:15. > :55:19.permissibility where street art is not removed. Councils are not sure

:55:20. > :55:22.whether it can be a good or bad thing, so they just leave it. There

:55:23. > :55:27.is also this active solicitation where street artists are paid to

:55:28. > :55:31.come and produce work. This is County Road in Walton, in Liverpool,

:55:32. > :55:37.where shop owners have embraced street art in a big way. What impact

:55:38. > :55:40.has it had? It has actually been a positive impact. We have done 40

:55:41. > :55:44.shudders so far and has opposed to having grey and looking a bit

:55:45. > :55:53.scruffy of an evening now we've got artwork on them. Images were painted

:55:54. > :55:58.last month by graffiti artist Kieran Gorman. 200 people a week now attend

:55:59. > :56:02.his workshops. It is getting bigger globally, as more people are getting

:56:03. > :56:07.involved with it. When councils start backing street art projects,

:56:08. > :56:14.does that make it more mainstream? For some people, yes. However, I

:56:15. > :56:15.think they love it as well. I saw or eye-catching? Depends where you

:56:16. > :56:24.stand. Send us your views on that, and we

:56:25. > :56:28.are talking throughout the programme about people suffering from mental

:56:29. > :56:32.health issues and how employers can help deal with that. The number I

:56:33. > :56:42.read was correct, it was wrong on the screen. Let me repeat that

:56:43. > :56:48.number for you 08000 564 756. If you haven't written it down, we will

:56:49. > :56:50.repeat it again. We were talking about street art, and we will also

:56:51. > :56:53.be talking about crime. Still to come this morning: A Brit

:04:02. > :04:04.in the first place and that's what the public want to see.

:04:05. > :04:07.This isn't in all forces, many forces still have a really

:04:08. > :04:09.great service in that area, but some forces are beginning

:04:10. > :04:12.to take officers out of neighbourhood policing to focus

:05:38. > :05:42.but this was a setback and I think the margin of defeat, the government

:05:43. > :05:46.lost by more than 100 votes, could embolden its critics. The government

:05:47. > :05:51.has said that it does want to guarantee the rights of EU nationals

:06:23. > :06:26.it's an economic argument. We absolutely need the builders, the

:06:39. > :06:43.question of what is good for this country as well. And I don't think

:06:44. > :06:53.we can just leave it to chance or a negotiation that hasn't even started

:06:54. > :06:57.yet. The government could be placing and seeing more defeats on this bill

:06:58. > :07:01.and it will be hoping it could get them done by the end of March but

:07:02. > :07:05.this is the start of the process. This is meant to be a short bill to

:07:06. > :07:08.start the formal Brexit negotiations and I think last night's defeat was

:07:09. > :07:12.a foretaste of the parliamentary battles the government's going to

:07:15. > :07:16.Nearly two-thirds of England's hospitals have been rated

:07:17. > :07:19.as inadequate or needing improvement in a major new study

:07:20. > :07:22.The report by the Care Quality Commission

:07:23. > :07:24.also found that four out of five trusts need

:07:25. > :07:28.But more than 90% were judged to be good or outstanding

:07:41. > :07:42.carrying out inspections following the Mid Staffordshire

:07:43. > :07:50.This is the first annual report on all of them.

:07:51. > :07:52.One of the key findings is the wide variation

:07:53. > :07:56.Across the major hospital trusts in England, 68% have been rated

:07:57. > :08:00.as inadequate or requiring improvement.

:08:01. > :08:02.81% of trusts are said to need to improve safety.

:08:03. > :08:06.But 93% were rated as good or outstanding for the caring

:08:07. > :08:16.There is variation between trusts, there's variation within trusts,

:08:17. > :08:19.you can get a very good service within a trust that's struggling

:08:20. > :08:22.or you can get an individual service that's not doing so well

:08:23. > :08:27.Praise is given to some trusts which have made significant

:08:28. > :08:28.improvements, including University Hospitals Bristol.

:08:29. > :08:30.The first to go from requiring improvement direct to outstanding

:08:31. > :08:37.I think the findings of the report are very positive for us.

:08:38. > :08:41.I think in the report it acknowledges a lot of the hard work

:08:42. > :08:44.that this department does and a very positive culture for providing

:08:45. > :08:51.The Department of Health said the conference of inspections formed

:08:52. > :08:55.a key part of a plan to make the NHS is the safest and most transparent

:10:12. > :10:13.They might say elephants never forget, but it seems

:10:14. > :10:17.A new study of female African elephants in the wild has revealed

:10:18. > :10:20.they sleep on average for just two hours a night,

:10:21. > :10:23.that's shortest amount time of any mammal on earth.

:10:24. > :10:26.Researchers say it could be down to the threat from predators

:10:27. > :10:30.and poachers, as Helen Briggs reports.

:10:31. > :10:37.For five weeks scientists tracked to elephants roaming across Botswana to

:10:38. > :10:43.find out more about their sleeping habits. They discovered on average

:10:44. > :10:47.the elephants were sleeping for just two hours a day, mainly at night,

:10:48. > :10:51.the shortest known sleep time for any land mammal and sometimes they

:10:52. > :10:55.didn't sleep at all. One of the more unexpected findings we had was that

:10:56. > :11:00.on five of the 70 night we recorded sleet from two elephants they didn't

:11:01. > :11:04.sleep at all. Interestingly during those nights they appeared to have

:11:05. > :11:08.been disturbed around 7:30 p.m., 8pm and they would walk for about 30 or

:11:09. > :11:12.40 kilometres. These nights without sleep appeared to correlate to

:11:13. > :11:15.potential mites where there's predation that ends where lions

:11:16. > :11:21.might have been trying to attack the herd all were made the an elephant

:11:22. > :11:25.was chasing the female herd or again there might have been poachers. Even

:11:26. > :11:30.when they did get chance to rest and they'd often sleep standing up, only

:11:31. > :11:34.lying down every few nights. Sleep, of course, plays an essential role

:11:35. > :11:39.in memory, so researchers say it's a mystery why elephants, who are known

:11:40. > :11:41.for their incredible memory powers, can survive on so little sleep.

:11:42. > :11:46.Helen Briggs, BBC News. A painting by Gustav Klimt has

:12:18. > :12:19.NHS inspectors have published their first comprehensive report

:12:20. > :12:21.into the state of England's hospitals since a new,

:12:22. > :12:23.more rigorous testing system was introduced in 2013.

:12:24. > :12:26.The tougher inspections were brought in after the scandal

:12:27. > :12:29.at Stafford Hospital, where poor care led to the deaths

:12:30. > :12:32.While some trusts have been praised for making significant

:12:33. > :12:34.improvements, the report says patient safety still remains

:12:35. > :12:49.that report, Professor Sir Mike Richards.

:12:50. > :12:55.Thank you for your time this morning. This is an important

:12:56. > :12:58.report, not just because you've looked at every hospital in England.

:12:59. > :13:02.Let's talk about some of the findings. The first and possibly

:13:03. > :13:07.most significant for people who have friends and family in hospital is

:13:08. > :13:11.the figure saying four out of five trusts need to improve safety in

:13:12. > :13:17.hospitals. What does that mean in practical terms? Well, we have four

:13:18. > :13:21.rating scales, inadequate, requires improvement, good and outstanding

:13:22. > :13:24.and there's a large number in the requires improvement category. That

:13:25. > :13:28.category means there are things they're not doing on safety, they

:13:29. > :13:31.may not be checking their medicines carefully enough, they may not be

:13:32. > :13:35.keeping records carefully enough, they may not be checking the

:13:36. > :13:39.equipment well enough, all of those sorts of things. And where we see a

:13:40. > :13:44.number of those things happening we would rate it as requires

:13:45. > :13:48.improvement, these are things that can be put right and what is really

:13:49. > :13:51.important is when we go back to these places more often than not

:13:52. > :13:54.they've been able to improve. Does that mean patient safety...

:13:55. > :13:59.Presumably that means there must be an impact on patient safety? There's

:14:00. > :14:02.a risk to patient safety that doesn't necessarily mean there's an

:14:03. > :14:05.impact, that's where we rate things as inadequate where we're really

:14:06. > :14:10.concerned and that's when it is important urgent action is taken to

:14:11. > :14:13.improve it. We want to see improvement across-the-board but

:14:14. > :14:18.it's the ones that are inadequate rated are the most urgent. Two

:14:19. > :14:22.thirds, I don't want to get lost in the statistics, but two thirds of

:14:23. > :14:27.the hospitals you look at requiring improvement or rated inadequate.

:14:28. > :14:31.Again, that's an awful lot of Hospitals. Yes, it's important to

:14:32. > :14:35.recognise, though, that that's because hospitals have a whole range

:14:36. > :14:42.of services that they look at and deliver. What we do when we inspect

:14:43. > :14:46.is we go into eight major services, A, medical wards, surgical wards,

:14:47. > :14:50.maternity et cetera, and when we look at the service level the

:14:51. > :14:55.picture is brighter, well over half of services are actually rated as

:14:56. > :14:59.good or outstanding and that's probably what patients themselves

:15:00. > :15:03.experience. If you're pregnant, you experience the maternity service for

:15:04. > :15:07.example. One of these excess areas looking at your report is about the

:15:08. > :15:11.care and the attitude of staff that almost no matter what else is

:15:12. > :15:16.happening in the hospital, that seems almost universally to be a

:15:17. > :15:21.success story. It is. And this is really gratifying and an important

:15:22. > :15:26.finding. We send our inspectors with clinicians as well into hospitals.

:15:27. > :15:30.We obviously observe care on the ward, we talk to patients and we

:15:31. > :15:34.talk to staff, we look at staff surveys, all of those things and

:15:35. > :15:38.overwhelmingly we find good or outstanding care. Now, there are

:15:39. > :15:39.occasions when that slips, particularly when staffing levels

:15:40. > :15:50.fall too low but that's rare. So if that is one of the high points

:15:51. > :15:53.of the report, one of the really worrying phrases contained in the

:15:54. > :15:58.report is the phrase that the NHS stands on, you say, a burning

:15:59. > :16:03.platform. The traditional care model, you say, is no longer capable

:16:04. > :16:08.of delivering the needs of today's population. What does that mean?

:16:09. > :16:16.What we're seeing is increasing numbers of people being referred to

:16:17. > :16:20.hospital or arriving at A We see difficulty in what we call the flow

:16:21. > :16:23.through the hospital, so people waiting too long and A,

:16:24. > :16:27.particularly if they require admission. Then people having to be

:16:28. > :16:31.moved from ward to ward to juggle the beds, people not being able to

:16:32. > :16:35.be discharged, because medical patients are having to be on

:16:36. > :16:39.surgical wards, we find that surgical operations need to be

:16:40. > :16:43.cancelled. All of that is the burning platform that we refer to,

:16:44. > :16:47.and that is what needs transformational change. What we do

:16:48. > :16:52.see. Dot. Could you translate that into terms which people were maybe

:16:53. > :16:57.see more clearly? This is your profession. You are Chief Inspector

:16:58. > :17:02.of hospitals for England. Your analysis. Our hospitals in England

:17:03. > :17:10.in a more dangerous place than they ever have been? No, because that is

:17:11. > :17:14.the safety question, and the effectiveness question. Absolutely

:17:15. > :17:18.not, but what they are is, because of the difficulty in getting people

:17:19. > :17:21.into the hospital, through the hospital and out of the hospital,

:17:22. > :17:25.that is the problem we are seeing and that is where we need to work

:17:26. > :17:29.much more between hospitals and the community, with GPs and care homes

:17:30. > :17:33.and hospitals working closely together to solve this problem. That

:17:34. > :17:38.is the transformational change we say is needed. And one more thing,

:17:39. > :17:43.sometimes we come down to numbers. The government tells us there are

:17:44. > :17:47.more doctors, more nurses on the wards and 2010. They are promising

:17:48. > :17:54.more up until 2020 as well. Do you have evidence, is that true? Are you

:17:55. > :17:57.seeing evidence of that? It is true, but there is also rising demand. And

:17:58. > :18:02.the demand is rising quite rapidly. If you look at the number of

:18:03. > :18:06.admissions to hospital over a 10- 15 year period, it is steadily rising.

:18:07. > :18:11.So that is where we see things as being the real problem, is the sheer

:18:12. > :18:16.demand for services. Thank you very much for your time this morning.

:18:17. > :18:17.Thank you. And we will talk about that further throughout the

:18:18. > :18:18.programme as well. You are watching

:18:19. > :18:20.Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:18:21. > :18:23.Victims are being let down and suspects left untracked by some

:18:24. > :18:26.police forces in England and Wales, according to a report

:18:27. > :18:29.from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Government sources say ministers

:18:30. > :18:32.will seek to overturn last night's Peers voted for an amendment

:18:33. > :18:37.to guarantee the rights of EU Here is Carol with a look

:18:38. > :18:52.at this morning's weather. She always has lovely pictures, but

:18:53. > :18:57.particularly lovely and sunny this morning. Good morning. For many of

:18:58. > :19:02.us we will see bright skies or sunny spells. This morning is still quite

:19:03. > :19:06.easy, windy across England and Wales, especially in the south, and

:19:07. > :19:09.some rain in the forecast as well. What is happening is low pressure is

:19:10. > :19:12.well and truly in charge of our weather, especially in the north

:19:13. > :19:16.where we have some rain, some showers. Some of those wintry and

:19:17. > :19:20.later in the day and other system coming in from the south-west will

:19:21. > :19:23.introduce rain and hill snow. At the moment, still gusty winds across

:19:24. > :19:28.England and Wales. They will ease in the next few hours. We also have a

:19:29. > :19:31.line of showers across parts of north Wales, northern England, the

:19:32. > :19:35.Midlands and in East Anglia. That is following hill snow but at lower

:19:36. > :19:39.levels, especially across Cheshire and Lancashire this morning, you

:19:40. > :19:42.might see a bit of that at low levels but it will not last. Into

:19:43. > :19:46.the afternoon, south-west England and south Wales seeing a few

:19:47. > :19:50.showers, most missing them, and most of southern England into the

:19:51. > :19:54.south-east staying dry. There is an outside chance you will see a

:19:55. > :19:58.shower, but you will be unlucky if you do. In northern England, the

:19:59. > :20:02.band of rain fizzling, although there will be bright spells in

:20:03. > :20:05.Northern Ireland we will see the cloud build and we have showers

:20:06. > :20:08.across the north and west of Scotland. Wintry with height, some

:20:09. > :20:11.merging to give longer spells of rain. The rain in Northern Ireland

:20:12. > :20:14.will deposit hill snow this evening and that crosses into Scotland and

:20:15. > :20:19.northern England it will do exactly the same thing. Rain at lower

:20:20. > :20:23.levels, snow in the hills and at the same time two bands of rain coming

:20:24. > :20:28.in from the south. Not as cold in the south as it will be in the north

:20:29. > :20:31.and where we have damp surfaces it means there is once again the risk

:20:32. > :20:34.of ice. Tomorrow, as these bands of rain will continue their journey

:20:35. > :20:39.moving northwards, eradicating the dry and bright start as they do so.

:20:40. > :20:42.The brighter skies tomorrow will remain across much of central and

:20:43. > :20:47.northern Scotland, but we could still see some slices of brightness

:20:48. > :20:51.across northern England. No heat wave in the north, six, seven or

:20:52. > :20:54.eight but has become further south we have milder conditions in the

:20:55. > :20:57.rain so we are looking at between eight and about 12. The Saturday,

:20:58. > :21:02.low pressure is still dominating our weather so still an unsettled theme.

:21:03. > :21:06.The front attached to it, wrapped around it, extends all the way down

:21:07. > :21:10.towards the Mediterranean. What it is doing for us is producing rain

:21:11. > :21:14.and here is the line of the weather front along it with some hill snow

:21:15. > :21:19.in Scotland. Behind it there will be some brighter and dry conditions,

:21:20. > :21:24.but still quite a few showers coming into the south-west, and also into

:21:25. > :21:30.Wales. As we head on into Sunday, low pressure still with us means

:21:31. > :21:34.that the weather remained still fairly unsettled. Thank you very

:21:35. > :21:38.much. We are already getting quite a lot of comments in this morning

:21:39. > :21:41.about a story to do with mental health issues, especially to do with

:21:42. > :21:43.the workplace and how good and bad employers are about helping people

:21:44. > :21:58.in the workplace. Good morning to you. Welcome to the

:21:59. > :22:01.grand surroundings of the Institute of Directors and we are here because

:22:02. > :22:05.this place represents thousands of businesses. It has 30,000 members up

:22:06. > :22:08.and down the country and today they are launching their mental health in

:22:09. > :22:12.the workplace initiative, looking at what firms can be doing to help

:22:13. > :22:15.staff who may be going through anxiety or depression and facing

:22:16. > :22:21.problems in the workplace. It is very easy for us to talk about

:22:22. > :22:23.health and safety. The safety bit in many respects is quite straight

:22:24. > :22:27.forward, stopping people having accidents at work, trips and falls

:22:28. > :22:31.and that sort of thing. But it is mental health that is much harder to

:22:32. > :22:35.spot. There is no ones that cause or solution, and as I have been finding

:22:36. > :22:37.out this week, it can happen anywhere and at any time -- no one

:22:38. > :22:46.set solution. No matter where you work, tough days

:22:47. > :22:49.are often part of the job, but for construction worker Leigh, difficult

:22:50. > :22:55.days turned into difficult weeks and months. I just felt down one day,

:22:56. > :22:59.and I stood at the top of the building, and just went to the edge

:23:00. > :23:04.of the building. It is about six stories high. And I just stood there

:23:05. > :23:10.and thought it would be better... Better if I was dead. And then I

:23:11. > :23:14.started to think, because I am carrying for my Nan, I started to

:23:15. > :23:18.think who is going to look out for her a new study suggests Lee's

:23:19. > :23:22.experience is more common than we might think. Nearly a sixth of the

:23:23. > :23:26.UK's workforce faces mental health problems. And it is here on building

:23:27. > :23:30.sites that the problem is all too evident. More construction workers

:23:31. > :23:35.lose their lives through suicide than serious accidents at work. And

:23:36. > :23:40.it is something the industry is working hard to address. It is very

:23:41. > :23:44.difficult to recognise in individuals where there is a

:23:45. > :23:48.problem, until it is too late. And this is why we need to do something

:23:49. > :23:52.now, and actually raise awareness within our industry, with our

:23:53. > :23:57.workers, and actually get people trained up in the same way as you

:23:58. > :24:01.would treat an injury with a first aid representative, to help people

:24:02. > :24:06.before they get to the stage of worst-case scenario where people are

:24:07. > :24:09.considering suicide. But it is not just industries like construction

:24:10. > :24:12.where people are tackling mental health. Aside from the personal

:24:13. > :24:18.impact on staff, it cost the UK economy around ?26 billion a year in

:24:19. > :24:21.lost work and productivity. So business is paying attention, like

:24:22. > :24:26.the department store chain Debenhams, its chairman told me of

:24:27. > :24:32.his personal experience of dealing with mental health problems, and why

:24:33. > :24:36.he wants to do more to help staff. I have had family members, including

:24:37. > :24:39.one of my sons, who has had a very, very specific challenge. And I find

:24:40. > :24:44.myself being hazard that talking about it, whereas if I had said he

:24:45. > :24:47.has broken his leg or he has a bad infection, that would have been

:24:48. > :24:51.fine, and we could all talk about that. I thought if I can't talk

:24:52. > :24:55.about it, this is ridiculous. We need to find ways and means of

:24:56. > :24:58.making this a more normal, everyday conversation, and not something we

:24:59. > :25:02.need to pretend to hide away. And that is the basis of schemes like

:25:03. > :25:05.this one at the Royal Mail. It encourages staff to talk about their

:25:06. > :25:11.worries with trained mental health first aid is. It is training

:25:12. > :25:15.individuals to really understand mental health issues. It is just to

:25:16. > :25:19.help you cope with ways of being able to stay at work and do your

:25:20. > :25:25.job, while dealing with your mental health. For Lee, who is now managing

:25:26. > :25:30.his depression, talking is part of the answer. But he says simple

:25:31. > :25:34.changes can make a big difference. A few months after I actually came off

:25:35. > :25:40.my medication, one of the social workers where I was actually came up

:25:41. > :25:46.and asked is betting OK -- site workers. She is the first person who

:25:47. > :25:48.has actually asked, and I think that will make a very big difference for

:25:49. > :25:53.a lot of people. So some important thoughts about how

:25:54. > :25:57.businesses are dealing with the issue and what help is available for

:25:58. > :26:01.staff in some businesses. We will be here all morning, we have been

:26:02. > :26:05.hearing some very personal stories about what people have been through.

:26:06. > :26:08.We will talk some more in about 20 minutes. Come back to me then and we

:26:09. > :26:12.will talk about what business is doing to help all of us facing

:26:13. > :26:15.mental health problems in the workplace.

:26:16. > :26:22.A lot of people getting in touch, it is affecting a lot of people. We

:26:23. > :26:26.won't read out names because some of the things you are sending us are

:26:27. > :26:29.really sensitive as well. I lost my younger sister in April 2016, I

:26:30. > :26:33.suffer as a result of her loss and I feel I cannot approach my employer

:26:34. > :26:37.about the subject or my doctor because of fear of being considered

:26:38. > :26:41.weak. I can honestly say I am unable to do my job to the best of my

:26:42. > :26:46.ability due to mental health issues but feel I to anyone without being

:26:47. > :26:50.judged. As we said, quite a few worried about how employers will

:26:51. > :26:54.react. There is one hearsay my current employer has been really

:26:55. > :26:59.understanding about mental health issues, I have been allowed some

:27:00. > :27:04.time off for breaks as and when required, but not all employers are

:27:05. > :27:05.like that. Keep those coming in this morning. Thank you for sharing with

:27:06. > :27:06.us. Details of organisations offering

:27:07. > :27:08.information and support with mental health are available

:31:01. > :31:03.Some police forces are putting the public at an unacceptable risk,

:31:04. > :31:05.by rationing their response as they struggle with cutbacks.

:31:06. > :31:08.That's according to a report out today by Her Majesty's Inspectorate

:32:49. > :32:53.There's a large number in the requires improvement category, that

:32:54. > :32:56.category means there are things they're not doing on safety, they

:32:57. > :33:01.may not be checking their medicines carefully enough, they may not be

:33:02. > :33:05.checking the equipment well enough. All of those sorts of things and

:33:06. > :33:09.where we see a number of those things happening we would break it

:33:10. > :33:12.as requires improvement. These are things that can be put right and

:33:13. > :33:16.what is really important is when we've been back to these places more

:35:24. > :35:25.Now, here's an interesting fact for you.

:35:26. > :35:27.The first written rules of golf were established in 1744.

:35:28. > :35:32.Well, the game's governing bodies have proposed a major

:35:33. > :35:35.shake-up to the rules of the sport, which are the biggest changes

:35:36. > :35:39.We can go live to Sally, who's at a golf club

:35:40. > :35:47.I never have a game face! One of the rule changes I'm most interested in

:35:48. > :35:51.as an amateur, nervy golfer, if you do this if you're slightly rubbish,

:35:52. > :35:58.and you have a little twitch, didn't mean to do that... Andy Murray,

:35:59. > :36:03.former European open champion, what have I done? You unintentionally hit

:36:04. > :36:08.the ball, one of the major rule changes, if you hit the ball by

:36:09. > :36:12.accident effectively, then there is no penalty. It's quite often you

:36:13. > :36:18.might have a practice swing and you catch the ball and you might move a

:36:19. > :36:23.leaf, it moves the ball. Could be slightly rubbish. Might do a Dustin

:36:24. > :36:26.Johnson and the ball might move without it being intended to be hit.

:36:27. > :36:31.Interesting you mention him because Dustin Johnson really suffered as a

:36:32. > :36:36.result. He lost the US Open! Under these new roles he would have been

:36:37. > :36:40.fined. What are the other changes, I'm going to have another go while

:36:41. > :36:47.we talk. The other change, in this situation with the flag 30 feet away

:36:48. > :36:52.from us... We used to have the flag attended, that's your best putt so

:36:53. > :36:56.far! You can leave the flag in the hole and the ball can go in and

:36:57. > :37:00.strike it on the way in and there's no penalty. It helps speed it up a

:37:01. > :37:04.little bit. Why is it important to speed things up? We need to make the

:37:05. > :37:09.game or attractive to everybody and there are too many complicated

:37:10. > :37:14.rules, half of them illogical and hardly any are logical, the rulebook

:37:15. > :37:20.is that sick and all we want to do is play the game and have fun. --

:37:21. > :37:23.that thick. If you hit it unintentionally, the Dustin Johnson

:37:24. > :37:26.thing was a freak and he got penalised, but as it happened it

:37:27. > :37:31.didn't make much difference because he went on to do great things. Is it

:37:32. > :37:35.going to make it easier for people like me, normal people watching the

:37:36. > :37:43.TV this morning wanting to have a go at golf, is it going to make it

:37:44. > :37:47.easier to understand? 100%, you can use range finders, GPS systems,

:37:48. > :37:51.there's a raft of rule changes, you can drop the ball from an inch above

:37:52. > :37:54.the ground if you got it from a hazard. It is effectively placing

:37:55. > :37:58.the ball. It is, normally you have to go from shoulder height. There's

:37:59. > :38:02.a few things that have tried to speed it up to make it more simple

:38:03. > :38:07.and that's what we want, more players playing the code and having

:38:08. > :38:12.fun doing it. Andrew, thank you for making that simple and easier to

:38:13. > :38:13.understand for someone like me. -- playing the game.

:38:14. > :38:15.British Cycling has acknowledged serious failings in its record

:38:16. > :38:18.keeping after being criticised by the woman in charge

:38:25. > :38:26.been hampered by problems with medical record keeping.

:38:27. > :38:29.They've been trying to discover the contents of a mystery package

:38:30. > :38:41.delivered to Team Sky in France six years ago.

:38:42. > :38:44.What we're trying to establish in our enquiry is how does

:38:45. > :38:47.British Cycling and Team Sky administer the anti-doping policies

:38:48. > :38:49.to ensure that their riders and their team is clean.

:38:50. > :38:51.And what we've heard today is they don't.

:38:52. > :38:55.So I think it is a pretty damning indictment of the way things have

:38:56. > :38:59.been run in British Cycling and at Team Sky that we should now

:39:00. > :39:03.Manchester City are through to the last eight of the FA Cup

:39:17. > :39:22.In the last two years I think in the cup we didn't play

:39:23. > :39:27.Good because at the end our fans could see a game in the cup

:39:28. > :39:29.here because I don't know what happened in the drawers,

:39:30. > :39:36.but every time all the time we play away.

:40:45. > :40:58.That's almost it from me but I have to say there is a fantastic driving

:40:59. > :41:06.range here, unusually it goes straight into the late! Into the

:41:07. > :41:11.Mere. The only one in the UK with floating golf balls. Shall I go and

:41:12. > :41:16.see how many I can lose? Let's have your first lesson, shall we do it

:41:17. > :41:22.live? We might prerecord that. More on my lesson later! Sally, we have

:41:23. > :41:28.clear that, we can do it live! That would be brilliant! OK, one more,

:41:29. > :41:35.one more, Andrew, come on! Two yards to the left. Head still, nice and

:41:36. > :41:42.smooth. That was a brilliant shot! Get in! Get in! You're not allowed

:41:43. > :41:48.to run on the green, Sally, come on! Sally! That is so impressive! I

:41:49. > :41:50.think Naga would be pretty impressed by that. Amazing. Back with Sally

:41:51. > :41:51.later on. Take a look around any classroom

:41:52. > :41:54.today and it's likely to be filled with Harry Potters, Gruffalos,

:41:55. > :41:57.Worst Witches and Peter Pans. Yes, it's World Book Day

:41:58. > :42:00.which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and children

:42:01. > :42:02.are marking it by dressing up as their favourite

:42:03. > :42:04.fictional characters. But does celebrating reading for one

:42:05. > :42:06.day really encourage young And how do you keep

:42:07. > :42:19.that enthusiasm going? I think sometimes if you lead by

:42:20. > :42:23.example, so if they see you reading they think rather than being on a

:42:24. > :42:27.tablet or a screen, they sort of thing, I'll do that. I guess it's

:42:28. > :42:31.just encouraging them if they're bored and they don't know what to

:42:32. > :42:35.do, suggest reading a book. You get to dress up and it's important to me

:42:36. > :42:39.because if you read more than you write more and it helps your

:42:40. > :42:44.imagination. I prefer reading off a proper book. I just prefer the

:42:45. > :42:50.feeling of it. The screen, I don't reading off a screen. I prefer an

:42:51. > :42:54.iPad to read off because I don't like novels but I read more articles

:42:55. > :42:58.and stuff like that, old newspapers and information from the 80s and.

:42:59. > :43:02.That because I'm more interested in stuff like that than novels. I think

:43:03. > :43:09.it's important for intellectual development so that people aren't

:43:10. > :43:11.stupid. I can't even think why you would ask why it would be important,

:43:12. > :43:13.it seems evident to me. Joining us is the children's author

:43:14. > :43:16.Frank Cottrell-Boyce, first professor of reading.

:43:17. > :43:31.Welcome. I have brought in a couple of my

:43:32. > :43:35.favourite books, which I still have, and you as well. We went on holiday

:43:36. > :43:39.to North Wales when I was about seven and it rained every day and I

:43:40. > :43:46.still feel guilty about this but this was in the cottage. Is called

:43:47. > :43:50.Tales of the Greek Heroes. Your first book. It was battering with

:43:51. > :43:55.rain and we had these picnics which we had to eat indoors, this was a

:43:56. > :44:00.great memory, it is physically that book and when I touch it... I can

:44:01. > :44:05.hear the rain and taste the boiled eggs, happy times. These are a

:44:06. > :44:11.couple I have at home. I read these so many times, I love you are at a

:44:12. > :44:17.clearly different reading level to me. Needless to say, I love these

:44:18. > :44:20.books and these were my dad is, a beautiful thing, handing books down

:44:21. > :44:25.generations in some ways. They're cheaper and you pass them on and

:44:26. > :44:29.this has got your memories in. And some of my drawings!

:44:30. > :44:33.You hear people talking about books a moment ago, there a danger to say

:44:34. > :44:39.it is important because mainly it should be fun, that little we saw

:44:40. > :44:43.talking, he said it's about imagination and that is the starting

:44:44. > :44:48.point, through infusing people, not saying they should but it's what you

:44:49. > :44:53.get from it. It is very much about fun, World Book Day, dressing up and

:44:54. > :44:56.listening to stories, not about the coding all literacy, it's about fun.

:44:57. > :45:03.When you touch that you're back in your childhood. -- decoding or

:45:04. > :45:06.literacy. One of the great sources of mental strength is happy

:45:07. > :45:09.memories, when you get older you realise the more happy memories

:45:10. > :45:14.you've got the stronger you are and what could be happier or simpler

:45:15. > :45:18.than sharing a book with somebody? You can lose yourself in adventure

:45:19. > :45:23.and forget about the worries. My dad is ill at the moment and I spent

:45:24. > :45:29.part of yesterday morning reading a book called the Third Policeman and

:45:30. > :45:32.for half an hour he was out of his bed, in Ireland in the rain hearing

:45:33. > :45:36.this funny stuff and if we didn't have that habit you wouldn't have

:45:37. > :45:40.that source of joy and strength. It's interesting how you phrase it,

:45:41. > :45:44.clearly I'm suspecting the three of us grew up in households where there

:45:45. > :45:49.were a lot of books. It's clear from what we're saying. If you don't, if

:45:50. > :45:52.you don't have books in your home and you don't have a tradition in

:45:53. > :45:59.your house, that becomes more challenging.

:46:00. > :46:05.Absolutely, you are at a huge advantage if your house is full of

:46:06. > :46:10.books. If your first experience of a book is a parent or grandparent

:46:11. > :46:14.reading it to you, that will be a good memory. Parents love their kids

:46:15. > :46:18.and want to give their kids that edge in life. And they will pay to

:46:19. > :46:21.go to private school or tutors or cram them or stand of them while

:46:22. > :46:25.they are doing their homework, nothing works like curling up on a

:46:26. > :46:29.couch and reading a cheap pork, you know? That is another one I wanted

:46:30. > :46:33.to talk to you about. People might be spending money today on the

:46:34. > :46:43.costumes, but actually the books are not all that expensive. I would hate

:46:44. > :46:49.in a few years time for us to look back at World Book Day and finding

:46:50. > :47:00.that the winners are ASDA and Disney. And brilliant stuff, there

:47:01. > :47:04.is a lot of pyjama ones, I saw a school in Upton Heath dressing up

:47:05. > :47:07.potatoes instead of children as your favourite character. What a

:47:08. > :47:11.brilliant idea, so much creativity. And so far in your role, have you

:47:12. > :47:16.encountered many youngsters who literally haven't read a book for

:47:17. > :47:22.fun? Absolutely, that is why I took it on. I do think we are losing

:47:23. > :47:26.that, and it is such an important thing. Not just educationally, but

:47:27. > :47:31.in terms of you being happy. It is such a great source of inner

:47:32. > :47:38.strength. I think Lou is going to read a bit. A little bit later, I

:47:39. > :47:42.have to prepare. I like to do voices and everything. I am looking forward

:47:43. > :47:48.to that. Lovely to see you this morning, thank you. Great to be

:47:49. > :47:54.here. While Lou is getting ready for her reading, what time is that?

:47:55. > :48:00.Gosh, I am feeling the pressure! Carroll, are you looking forward to

:48:01. > :48:11.Lou's story? I am, and this picture tells a story as well. Last night

:48:12. > :48:15.some of us were lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis. And it wasn't

:48:16. > :48:19.just in the Highlands. We also saw it in parts of north-east England as

:48:20. > :48:23.well. I will try and show you more pictures as we go through the course

:48:24. > :48:26.of this morning. For many of us this morning it is a breezy start, windy

:48:27. > :48:30.across southern England and Wales. We have a band of rain extending

:48:31. > :48:33.across north Wales, the North Midlands, into parts of northern

:48:34. > :48:39.England and East Anglia, that is a band of rain, sleet and hill snow

:48:40. > :48:43.although for a time we could see some wintry conditions at lower

:48:44. > :48:45.levels, but it won't last. As we move through the afternoon, sunshine

:48:46. > :48:48.and showers for south-west England and south Wales, for the rest of

:48:49. > :48:53.southern and south-eastern England it is mostly dry. You could see the

:48:54. > :48:56.odd shower, you will be unlucky if you do and for north Wales in the

:48:57. > :49:01.northern England, a lot of sunny spells around, one ought CHEERING

:49:02. > :49:04.showers, the rest of Northern Ireland still dry and still some

:49:05. > :49:08.wintry showers across the north and north-west of Scotland. Again, the

:49:09. > :49:13.wintry conditions mostly on the hills but quite easy here as well.

:49:14. > :49:16.As we head on through the evening and overnight, rain arrives in

:49:17. > :49:20.Northern Ireland and that will push into parts of Scotland and northern

:49:21. > :49:25.England and tend to weaken. At the same time, two vans of rain coming

:49:26. > :49:28.up from the south. Ahead of all of that it will be another cold night

:49:29. > :49:32.across the Highlands, for example, where we have damp surfaces they

:49:33. > :49:35.will be the risk of some ice as well. That is where we start

:49:36. > :49:38.tomorrow, on a bright note with some sunshine. Still a plethora of

:49:39. > :49:42.showers across the far north. Our bands of rain moving northwards

:49:43. > :49:46.across England and Wales, and also Northern Ireland. For the brightest

:49:47. > :49:49.skies, they will be across Scotland and we could also see some breaks in

:49:50. > :49:54.the cloud, for example, across northern England. It will not feel

:49:55. > :49:58.warm, highs of about seven. Further south we're looking at temperatures

:49:59. > :50:01.into double figures. Then, for the weekend, low pressure still

:50:02. > :50:07.dominating our weather. We have a huge front that around it, and as it

:50:08. > :50:12.moves across us it will produce some rain. -- wrapped around it. You can

:50:13. > :50:15.see the rain from that front across the south-east, extending across

:50:16. > :50:19.Scotland and producing again some hill snow and moving in across

:50:20. > :50:22.Northern Ireland. The tail end of it will clip Wales and parts of

:50:23. > :50:26.south-west England. If you are in the middle of that you have a better

:50:27. > :50:30.chance of staying dry and bright. If you can see some breaks in the cloud

:50:31. > :50:33.and sunshine coming through as well. As we had only to Sunday, low

:50:34. > :50:36.pressure still very much dominating our weather. Still remaining

:50:37. > :50:39.unsettled, with rain and some showers, but equally some dry spells

:50:40. > :50:42.as well. Millions of people live with or have

:50:43. > :50:45.suffered from mental health issues, and most people still have

:50:46. > :50:49.to get up and go work, even if that feels

:50:50. > :50:50.extremely difficult. Ben is looking at how workplaces

:50:51. > :50:53.are aiming to treat mental health problems as seriously

:50:54. > :51:07.as physical health ones. Absolutely, it is a really important

:51:08. > :51:11.issue and talking about it could be the key. It is very easy for

:51:12. > :51:15.businesses to talk about health and safety and in some respects the

:51:16. > :51:20.safety bit is the easiest, because it is about making sure people do

:51:21. > :51:24.not have accidents at work, tripping and falling, that sort of thing. But

:51:25. > :51:28.health is more difficult because there is no one set cause or

:51:29. > :51:32.solution and it can manifest itself two or three years down the line,

:51:33. > :51:36.maybe when you have moved on from the place where you are working so

:51:37. > :51:40.very important that this is as do more to support the stuff that they

:51:41. > :51:44.have. Two people with me can explain a bit more, Stephen is a boss at the

:51:45. > :51:48.Institute of Directors, launching the big campaign today, and Sam is a

:51:49. > :51:52.partner at city law firm and you know what we are talking about. Give

:51:53. > :51:56.us a taste of what happened you. Let Mac I don't think you can say

:51:57. > :52:01.exactly what causes periods of depression and ill health, but for

:52:02. > :52:06.me it was a prolonged period of sleeplessness, exhaustion, crying

:52:07. > :52:10.covertly behind by computer screen, and then I remember clear as a belt

:52:11. > :52:14.sitting at my desk and just not being able to read the paper in

:52:15. > :52:17.front of me. Turning pages and having no idea what was going on,

:52:18. > :52:22.and I was terrified that I couldn't do my job any more. And that what

:52:23. > :52:26.point do you realise that this was something more than maybe just a bad

:52:27. > :52:31.day or a bad week or a bad month and that it was something that maybe you

:52:32. > :52:34.needed to get help for. I don't think I admitted to myself when I

:52:35. > :52:38.actually realised it. I went to my GP and asked for help sleeping, I

:52:39. > :52:42.think I was properly asking for more help, and over a couple of months of

:52:43. > :52:48.going to see her, eventually she referred me to a psychiatrist, which

:52:49. > :52:52.I absolutely, you know, floored me. I was taken their kicking and

:52:53. > :52:57.screaming. It was the best thing I did. And Stephen, here at the

:52:58. > :53:00.Institute of Directors, you are launching a big campaign, a mental

:53:01. > :53:04.health initiative to get some of your 30,000 members talking about

:53:05. > :53:09.this and what they can do to help staff. Why is it so important now?

:53:10. > :53:13.We did a recent survey which told us that over half of our members had

:53:14. > :53:17.been approached directly by staff concerning mental ill health, and

:53:18. > :53:22.that is just a big, big statistic. And it affects the productivity that

:53:23. > :53:26.we have in this country. It is a massive impact if staff are not

:53:27. > :53:30.happy, they will not perform to the best of their ability at work, which

:53:31. > :53:34.affects business and affect everything. So it is not just a

:53:35. > :53:38.moral reason for doing it, there is a logic to it from a business point

:53:39. > :53:45.of view. You might say it is very easy for big business to try and do

:53:46. > :53:47.this, you can have a dedicated mental health first-aider. What

:53:48. > :53:54.about smaller firms which have just a few employees? We recognise the

:53:55. > :53:57.difficulties for smaller firms, without the first-aider or HR

:53:58. > :54:01.department so we are suggesting online resources pointing out where

:54:02. > :54:05.people can go for help, there is lots out there but people don't know

:54:06. > :54:08.it is there. Less than 20% of our members are aware of a single

:54:09. > :54:11.initiative the government has introduced in the last few years.

:54:12. > :54:15.That is very worrying. What we can do as business leaders is put

:54:16. > :54:19.forward where to go to for help and how to get it. And Sam, when you

:54:20. > :54:22.were in that position did you have somewhere where you could go for

:54:23. > :54:26.help? I imagine there are two things, having the availability of

:54:27. > :54:30.help but also the stigma of not wanting to go to your boss and say

:54:31. > :54:33.you have a problem. I think that is absolutely the case. We had

:54:34. > :54:37.resources available internally, and we still do, but I would not have

:54:38. > :54:44.wanted to use them and put my head above the parapet. I think now, the

:54:45. > :54:47.really key point is normalising the discussion so that there is, one

:54:48. > :54:52.hopes, less of a stigma for people who want to put their hands up. And

:54:53. > :54:57.you are not in here, it is that stigma which can be the biggest

:54:58. > :55:10.challenge. Is a massive stigma which we have got to get rid of. They

:55:11. > :55:13.should be no Tabou, no -- taboo, no stigma. We are going to be here

:55:14. > :55:17.throughout the morning, talking about this a little bit more. Keep

:55:18. > :55:22.your comments coming in. This affects many, many people. Give us

:55:23. > :55:26.an indication of how you got help and what it meant to you. We will

:55:27. > :55:30.talk more about this after eight a.m.. Thank you very much indeed,

:03:13. > :03:16.in a stark report from Her Majesty's After five years of budget cuts,

:03:17. > :03:20.some forces aren't making the right tough calls over how

:03:21. > :03:22.to use their resources. It's raised what it

:03:23. > :03:25.calls a red warning flag Some have been downgrading 999 calls

:03:26. > :03:29.if they're short on officers. That means they don't have

:03:30. > :03:34.to respond as quickly. The HMIC also says domestic violence

:03:35. > :03:37.calls to some forces have been downgraded because of lack

:03:38. > :03:42.of specialist officers. Other forces have ignored leads

:03:43. > :03:44.on organised crime because it Only Durham is delivering

:03:45. > :03:51.outstanding policing. Neighbourhood policing,

:03:52. > :03:53.that proactive, preventative presence of police officers

:03:54. > :03:55.in communities is eroding even further so that means they're not

:03:56. > :03:58.stopping crime from happening in the first place and that's

:03:59. > :04:02.what the public want to see. This isn't in all forces,

:04:03. > :04:04.many forces still have a really great service in that area,

:04:05. > :04:07.but some forces are beginning to take officers out

:04:08. > :04:09.of neighbourhood policing to focus on other areas, and we're saying

:04:10. > :04:11.absolutely that erosion of neighbourhood policing can't be

:04:12. > :04:21.allowed to happen. The HMIC says overall most

:04:22. > :04:23.forces are doing well, but a third may be placing

:04:34. > :04:49.force is facing difficult decisions We have a statement from the Home

:04:50. > :04:54.Office. They say a number of forces still have more work to do. The

:04:55. > :05:00.government has protected its police funding. That means there is no

:05:37. > :05:41.The government will try to overturn this in the Commons. But this was a

:05:42. > :05:44.setback for the government. The scale of the defeat, the government

:05:45. > :05:51.lost by more than 100 votes, could embolden its critics. Some peers

:05:52. > :05:53.argued the government has the moral duty to guarantee the rights of

:05:54. > :06:01.those EU citizens living here in the UK. Others say, look, the government

:06:02. > :06:04.has said it wants to do just that but only as part of a reciprocal

:06:05. > :06:10.deal which also guarantees the right of British citizens abroad. The

:06:11. > :06:14.concern is if other EU states say, well, we're not going to sort this

:06:15. > :06:19.out until we sorted out other matters, but that could mean two

:06:20. > :06:23.years of uncertainty. Despite that, the government will hope to overturn

:06:24. > :06:28.this in the Commons. This bill could still face further defeat in the

:06:29. > :06:31.Lords. Those would also then have to be overturned if the government is

:06:32. > :06:35.to stick to its timetable. Don't forget, this is supposed to be a

:06:36. > :06:40.short, straightforward bill to begin the formal Brexit negotiations. And

:12:42. > :12:43.a decline in neighbourhood policing. Those are just some

:12:44. > :12:46.of the criticisms of police forces in England and Wales

:12:47. > :12:48.from a new report out today. Her Majesty's Inspectorate

:12:49. > :12:50.of Constabulary found that most of the 43 forces in England

:12:51. > :12:52.and Wales were providing A third of forces "required

:12:53. > :13:04.improvement", and some forces were "downgrading" emergency 999

:13:05. > :13:06.calls, in order to justify It also found that there were nearly

:13:07. > :13:12.46,000 wanted suspects on the police database,

:13:13. > :13:15.including people being sought for murder, rape

:13:16. > :13:18.and terror offences. Joining us in the studio

:13:19. > :13:21.is the former Chief Constable for Greater Manchester Police,

:13:22. > :13:31.Sir Peter Fahy. I guess you can give us a unique

:13:32. > :13:35.perspective. I imagine maybe talk a little bit more freely than you

:13:36. > :13:40.might have beforehand. What do you think is the most concerning the

:13:41. > :13:44.statistics we have been given? It is a confusing report. It says most

:13:45. > :13:48.forces are doing well. But then it talks about a perilous state. The

:13:49. > :13:53.worrying thing in there is the problem of morale. The fact there is

:13:54. > :13:57.such a shortage of detectives. But overall it is the fact the police

:13:58. > :14:00.have been asked to do more and more when there have been significant

:14:01. > :14:11.cuts. It is disingenuous of the Home Office to say police budgets have

:14:12. > :14:13.been protected. Is only the cash from last year. But that's after

:14:14. > :14:16.four years of significant cuts that have seen 32,000 fewer staff in

:14:17. > :14:23.policing. But also the fact when other services are struggling, like

:14:24. > :14:29.the ambulance service, the police often have to step in and support.

:14:30. > :14:31.One of the areas is about wanted suspects. Members of the public

:14:32. > :14:35.might think if somebody is wanted by the police there would be a

:14:36. > :14:40.concerted effort, an organised effort to find them. This report

:14:41. > :14:43.says into many cases is insufficient action taken to actively tracked

:14:44. > :14:52.down suspects. Talk us through what is going on. There are always huge

:14:53. > :14:59.numbers of people. They do not want to get caught, obviously. The courts

:15:00. > :15:03.want them, and with easy access to travel people can escape and then it

:15:04. > :15:06.becomes more challenging for the police. The report acknowledges that

:15:07. > :15:10.every day the police have to risk assess what they are faced with.

:15:11. > :15:18.There will be people that I wanted. But there will be a car accident,

:15:19. > :15:23.maybe a murder, and the police have to everyday assess the risk and see

:15:24. > :15:27.what the NHS does. It is wrong to talk about rationing or downgrading,

:15:28. > :15:32.it is about setting a process, and this is the problem, increasing

:15:33. > :15:35.workload with fewer resources. Every time the answer seems to be

:15:36. > :15:36.workload. But the consequence of that is that people who should be

:15:37. > :15:45.apprehended are not. In the same way that in the health

:15:46. > :15:49.service people don't get the time that they want, there is a debate

:15:50. > :15:52.that police have to be allowed to do things differently and what would

:15:53. > :15:56.disappoint a lot of police officers is earlier this week, Simon Bailey

:15:57. > :16:00.suggested a different way of dealing with sex offenders, he was shouted

:16:01. > :16:05.down by politicians, police and the Home Office. That needs to be part

:16:06. > :16:08.of the debate. If you want police to do more with less, you have to start

:16:09. > :16:13.doing things differently and use technology in a different way. And

:16:14. > :16:17.sometimes impinge on civil and human rights of some criminals to make it

:16:18. > :16:21.easier for police to catch them. We spoke to him on Breakfast actually.

:16:22. > :16:27.You talk about risk assessments, there are 43 police forces not doing

:16:28. > :16:30.the basics. If you are watching the programme this morning and then,

:16:31. > :16:35.they aren't even doing the basics, it is a worrying message? I don't

:16:36. > :16:38.think so, sometimes you have serious things to deal with, there are basic

:16:39. > :16:42.processes you need to do in a different way which has to happen.

:16:43. > :16:46.But it does not going to say they are dealing with serious things,

:16:47. > :16:49.they are not doing the basics. The report can be misleading, you have

:16:50. > :16:55.to say, how is British policing doing, it is doing McNiff cine when

:16:56. > :17:01.you look at the cuts it has taken, public confidence has held up, there

:17:02. > :17:06.is no wider crisis -- it is doing well. When other services are being

:17:07. > :17:09.cut, at the same time, they have difficult workforce issues, like the

:17:10. > :17:14.fact that so many officers are retiring when they get to 30 years.

:17:15. > :17:17.There's a big turnover in people like Chief Constables. A lot of

:17:18. > :17:22.police and crime commission has changed in the last elections. You

:17:23. > :17:25.and seeing leadership, you stand back and see fundamental things need

:17:26. > :17:32.to change at the police are to cope with more risk, workload with fewer

:17:33. > :17:36.staff. How you are responding to all of these suggestions, the public has

:17:37. > :17:41.to get used to the fact that police cannot do what they used to?

:17:42. > :17:46.Absolutely, that is inevitable. Why should they? Crimes are still being

:17:47. > :17:51.done, they feel like victims, they want an investigation, why should

:17:52. > :17:55.they accept that? Number one, public confidence and victim satisfaction

:17:56. > :18:00.is holding up but if the public want more money spent on the health

:18:01. > :18:04.service, there is no bigger drive to spend money on police. If you want

:18:05. > :18:08.police to do more with less and fewer staff, then ultimately, we as

:18:09. > :18:12.the public, I am now the public, they had to accept things will be

:18:13. > :18:15.done differently. Maybe not worse, but your local police station may be

:18:16. > :18:19.closing but you are getting just as good service on the telephone from

:18:20. > :18:27.police. We could discuss this more at length, if you come back another

:18:28. > :18:29.day and talk about it again, that would be great. Sir Peter Fahy,

:18:30. > :18:33.former Chief Constable with Manchester police. Thank you.

:18:34. > :18:36.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:18:37. > :18:41.Good morning. I have some stunning weather watcher pictures to show you

:18:42. > :18:50.of the Northern lights from last night. What a beautiful picture! And

:18:51. > :18:58.this one, lovely and beautiful Northern lights, and here again,

:18:59. > :19:01.another gorgeous one. And this one from north-west Scotland. Other

:19:02. > :19:05.parts of the country saw the Northern lights last night. I find

:19:06. > :19:09.more pictures, I will show you them in 30 minutes. If you want to see

:19:10. > :19:14.the Northern lights tonight, activity is between nine o'clock and

:19:15. > :19:19.three o'clock in the morning, and we are looking north of the Central

:19:20. > :19:20.Belt where there are various guys. Aberdeenshire, the north-west

:19:21. > :19:26.Highlands and some of the islands will see those as well. Today, it is

:19:27. > :19:31.windy across parts of England and Wales, that will slowly ease and it

:19:32. > :19:36.will remain breezy fall of us, there will be some rain. This band extends

:19:37. > :19:40.across North Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia. For some time it may be

:19:41. > :19:47.wintry on the hills, it will fizzle. For most of us, a dry day with

:19:48. > :19:51.sunshine. A few showers in the afternoon, across south-west England

:19:52. > :19:54.and South Wales. In the south-east, catching one you would be an lucky.

:19:55. > :20:01.A lot of dry weather and sunny spells. Sunny spells in northern

:20:02. > :20:05.England, in north-west England more cloud at times, the odd shower.

:20:06. > :20:09.Sunny spells in Northern Ireland, and in western and northern

:20:10. > :20:14.Scotland, we hold onto those showers. They will be wintry at a

:20:15. > :20:20.height, a us will not see them, many of us will see sunshine. -- a lot of

:20:21. > :20:24.us will will not see them. There will be snow deposits in Scotland

:20:25. > :20:28.and northern England. At the same time, two bands of rain coming up

:20:29. > :20:32.from the south. Not as cold in the South as the North but as I

:20:33. > :20:35.mentioned, where there are clear skies north of the central Belt, a

:20:36. > :20:39.risk of ice, you may see the Northern lights though. Both of

:20:40. > :20:46.these bands of rain advance northwards. Getting into Wales and

:20:47. > :20:50.Northern Ireland. You can hang onto those breaks in northern England. It

:20:51. > :20:57.is tenuous but here there is sunshine. The lion's share is across

:20:58. > :21:04.central Scotland. Temperatures 7-8, but behind this band of rain in the

:21:05. > :21:09.south, ten or 11. On Sunday, low pressure dominates the weather so

:21:10. > :21:16.the forecast remains unsettled and on Saturday, there is rain wrapped

:21:17. > :21:22.around this area of low pressure. Snow deposits in Scotland, bright

:21:23. > :21:24.skies as we go further south and Saturday temperatures, nothing

:21:25. > :21:29.particularly to write home about, six or seven, up to nine or ten.

:21:30. > :21:35.Slightly on the chilly side. Thank you.

:21:36. > :21:38.One in four people have to cope with mental health issues at some

:21:39. > :21:41.point in their life time - and many of them will do so whilst

:21:42. > :21:44.Supporting those people is a big challenge for businesses,

:21:45. > :21:47.and today the Institute of Directors is launching a scheme to help

:21:48. > :21:49.firms do this better - Ben's at their London

:21:50. > :21:58.This is a real problem, isn't it? Charlie, you are right, but it is

:21:59. > :22:03.something that businesses are trying to take seriously. We are at the

:22:04. > :22:06.Institute of Directors, representing about 30,000 members. They can be

:22:07. > :22:11.big and small organisations up and down the country. They are launching

:22:12. > :22:14.an initiative today to get more businesses talking about the issue.

:22:15. > :22:19.It is easy for a business to talk about health and safety, and in some

:22:20. > :22:22.respects, the safety element is the easiest one to look after. It means

:22:23. > :22:33.stopping accidents in the workplace, and you can measure that on a child.

:22:34. > :22:37.But, help is much more difficult, -- you can measure that on a chart. But

:22:38. > :22:41.mental health, it can happen to anyone, any time, anywhere.

:22:42. > :22:43.No matter where you work, tough days are often part

:22:44. > :22:47.But for construction worker Lee, difficult days turned into difficult

:22:48. > :22:52.I just felt down one day, and I stood at the top

:22:53. > :22:55.of the building, and just went to the edge of the building.

:22:56. > :23:02.And I just stood there, and thought it would be better.

:23:03. > :23:10.And then I started to think, because I am caring for my Nan,

:23:11. > :23:14.I started to think, who is going to look out for her?

:23:15. > :23:16.A new study suggests Lee's experience is more common

:23:17. > :23:20.Nearly a sixth of the UK's workforce faces mental health problems,

:23:21. > :23:25.and it is here on building sites that the problem is all too evident.

:23:26. > :23:28.More construction workers lose their lives through suicide

:23:29. > :23:30.than serious accidents at work, and it is something the industry

:23:31. > :23:41.It is very difficult to recognise in individuals

:23:42. > :23:43.where there is a problem, until it is too late.

:23:44. > :23:46.And this is why we need to do something now,

:23:47. > :23:47.and actually raise awareness within our industry,

:23:48. > :23:50.with our workers, and actually get people trained up in the same way

:23:51. > :23:53.as you would treat an injury with a first-aider, to help people

:23:54. > :23:56.before they get to the stage of the worst-case scenario,

:23:57. > :24:00.where people are considering suicide.

:24:01. > :24:02.But it is not just industries like construction where people

:24:03. > :24:09.Aside from the personal impact on staff, it cost the UK economy

:24:10. > :24:17.around ?26 billion a year in lost work and productivity.

:24:18. > :24:19.So business is paying attention, like the department store chain

:24:20. > :24:24.Its chairman told me of his personal experience of dealing with mental

:24:25. > :24:28.health problems, and why he wants to do more to help staff.

:24:29. > :24:30.I have had family members, including one of my sons,

:24:31. > :24:32.who has had a very, very specific challenge.

:24:33. > :24:38.And I found myself being hesitant talking about it, whereas if I had

:24:39. > :24:41.said he has broken his leg, or he has a bad infection,

:24:42. > :24:46.that would have been fine, and we could all talk about that.

:24:47. > :24:49.I thought, if I can't talk about it, this is ridiculous.

:24:50. > :24:52.We need to find ways and means of making this a more normal,

:24:53. > :24:54.everyday conversation, and not something we need to pretend

:24:55. > :25:01.And that is the basis of schemes like this one at the Royal Mail.

:25:02. > :25:03.It encourages staff to talk about their worries with trained

:25:04. > :25:12.It is training individuals to really understand mental health issues.

:25:13. > :25:15.It is just to help you cope with ways of being able to stay

:25:16. > :25:17.at work and do your job, while dealing with your mental

:25:18. > :25:20.For Lee, who is now managing his depression,

:25:21. > :25:24.talking is part of the answer, but he says simple changes can make

:25:25. > :25:31.A few months after I actually came off my medication,

:25:32. > :25:33.one of the site workers where I was actually came up

:25:34. > :25:38.She is the first person who has actually asked,

:25:39. > :25:47.and I think that will make a very big difference for a lot of people.

:25:48. > :25:53.Some really important issues raised in that piece. We will talk more

:25:54. > :25:57.about it over the course of the morning. And here's some more

:25:58. > :26:01.personal stories. And crucially, about why it is so important to talk

:26:02. > :26:05.about this. The fear of speaking to your boss may be putting people off,

:26:06. > :26:10.but the message from today's talk about it, get help when you needed.

:26:11. > :26:15.We will have more stories from here in about minutes time.

:26:16. > :26:18.STUDIO: Then, thank you. So many people getting in touch with us,

:26:19. > :26:21.thank you for your stories. If you want more details...

:26:22. > :26:23.Details of organisations offering information and support with mental

:26:24. > :26:25.health are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline,

:26:26. > :26:27.or you can call for free, at any time to hear recorded

:26:28. > :26:44.But here on Breakfast in a few moments, we'll have a summary

:26:45. > :26:46.of the morning's news and Sally will have the sport.

:26:47. > :26:51.She'll be live from this golf club for us later to talk about some

:26:52. > :26:56.new rules that could make the game quicker and simpler.

:26:57. > :26:59.Three minutes to find a lost ball, not five!

:27:00. > :30:20.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:30:21. > :30:27.Now though it's back to Charlie and Louise.

:30:28. > :30:33.Hello, this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Charlie Stayt.

:30:34. > :30:37.Some police forces are putting the public at an unacceptable risk,

:30:38. > :30:41.by rationing their response as they struggle with cutbacks.

:30:42. > :30:43.That's according to a report out today by Her Majesty's

:30:44. > :30:47.Inspectorate of Constabulary, which oversees policing standards.

:30:48. > :30:52.It found a third of forces in England and Wales need

:30:53. > :30:56.improvement, with some 'downgrading' emergency 999 calls,

:30:57. > :30:58.in order to justify responding to them more slowly.

:30:59. > :31:00.The Home Office has said the Government has protected police

:31:01. > :31:04.funding and there can be no excuse for any force that fails to deliver

:31:05. > :31:13.The former Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, Peter

:31:14. > :31:18.Fahy, told us the report was worrying for a number of reasons. I

:31:19. > :31:24.think the worrying thing in there is really the problem of morale, the

:31:25. > :31:27.fact there is such a shortage of detectives, but overall the fact

:31:28. > :31:30.that police have been asked to do more and more when there have been

:31:31. > :31:33.quite significant cuts in policing and it is disingenuous of the Home

:31:34. > :31:37.Office to the police budgets have been protected, that is only the

:31:38. > :31:38.cash from last year but that is after four years of significant

:31:41. > :31:43.to overturn a demand by the House of Lords that EU citizens living

:31:44. > :31:46.in the UK should be allowed to stay Peers defied ministers

:31:47. > :31:50.when they voted by a large margin to guarantee their rights,

:32:12. > :32:15.Commission also found that four out of five trusts need

:32:16. > :32:17.to improve patient safety. But more than 90% were judged to be

:32:21. > :32:24.welcomed the inspections, saying they form a key part

:32:25. > :32:28.of its plan to make the health service the "safest and most

:32:29. > :32:36.transparent" in the world. There's a large number

:32:37. > :32:44.in the requires improvement category, that category means

:32:45. > :32:46.there are things they're They may not be checking

:32:53. > :32:54.all of those sorts of things. And where we see a number of those

:32:55. > :32:59.things happening we would rate it These are things that can be put

:35:56. > :36:00.The concierges have to deal with some very unusual requests, we will

:36:01. > :36:03.be chatting to two of them in a few minutes time.

:36:04. > :36:09.And a huge amount of luggage. Oh, yes. Stormzy will be here

:36:10. > :36:11.shortly, we are looking forward to that but before that we are talking

:36:12. > :36:15.about golf, the rules are changing. If you're a golf lover,

:36:16. > :36:29.you'll know that the rules Sally is out and about playing some

:36:30. > :36:31.golf and explaining what the changes are.

:36:32. > :36:36.Even for the keenest golfers, sometimes I think the rules can be a

:36:37. > :36:39.bit overcomplicated. In fact, that is the understatement of the day,

:36:40. > :36:43.the rules are very, very complicated and you have to have a good depth of

:36:44. > :36:46.understanding and it has perhaps in the past put some people off from

:36:47. > :36:50.starting to play golf because some of the rules can be so complicated.

:36:51. > :36:55.I am joined by the ladies captain here at me a golf club. The rule

:36:56. > :37:01.changes are coming in, do you think that is a good thing to help people

:37:02. > :37:06.make it easier to start playing golf? I think it is excellent, all

:37:07. > :37:09.of the changes I have read about mean it will be a better pace of

:37:10. > :37:12.game, people will get around the course quicker, it is easier to

:37:13. > :37:19.understand from the rules that are on the Greens to the fairy rules, it

:37:20. > :37:24.will mean new people will be much better. You are the ladies captain

:37:25. > :37:28.here, do you think you know absolutely everything there is to

:37:29. > :37:33.know about the rules? I should do, but I don't, there is too much. So

:37:34. > :37:37.even you, in the position you have, realise things are really

:37:38. > :37:41.complicated? They are complicated and the rules will be changed, they

:37:42. > :37:45.will be easier and I think any new person coming to play golf,

:37:46. > :37:48.especially ladies, we need more ladies to play, will see that it is

:37:49. > :37:53.easier to understand and they will get around quicker and feel much

:37:54. > :37:56.more confident about it. One of the new rules is to make people get a

:37:57. > :38:02.bit of a move on, how do they do that? Just walk faster between the

:38:03. > :38:08.shops and this ready to play rule where one person is bigger than --

:38:09. > :38:14.is ready sooner than the other, they can go first. I know you are busy

:38:15. > :38:22.this morning, we will let you get on with your golf. Thank you very much

:38:23. > :38:31.indeed. There she is. Marvellous. In the meantime... I will let you know

:38:32. > :38:36.about the rest of the sport this morning. High five! Can I just tell

:38:37. > :38:41.you, the boys were watching then just waiting to see what Helen did

:38:42. > :38:42.come very proud of that. We started this morning with news from British

:38:43. > :38:48.Cycling. They have acknowledged serious

:38:49. > :38:50.failings in its record keeping after being criticised by the woman

:38:51. > :38:52.in charge Nicole Sapstead told a committee

:38:53. > :38:55.of MPs that UK Anti-Doping's investigation into wrongdoing

:38:56. > :38:59.in the sport has been hampered by problems

:39:00. > :39:00.with medical record-keeping. They've been trying to discover

:39:01. > :39:03.the contents of a mystery package delivered to Team Sky

:39:04. > :39:05.in France six years ago. Manchester City are through to

:39:06. > :39:08.the last eight of the FA Cup after a comfortable win

:39:09. > :39:10.in their replay against That's despite going behind early

:39:11. > :39:17.on to this goal from Harry Bunn. City were soon back

:39:18. > :39:18.in control, Sergio They'll play Middlesborough

:39:19. > :39:27.in the next round, their fourth Celtic are now 27

:39:28. > :39:34.points clear at the top Scott Sinclair and two

:39:35. > :39:37.Moussa Dembele goals helped them to a 4-0 win over bottom side

:39:38. > :39:40.Inverness Caledonian Thistle. There were also wins for Rangers,

:39:41. > :39:42.Ross County and Partick Thistle. England's women suffered

:39:43. > :39:44.a disappointing defeat in their opening match

:39:45. > :39:45.of the SheBelieves Cup England had led, but this header

:39:46. > :39:50.gave France a 2-1 win with the very Andy Murray is into

:39:51. > :39:53.the quarterfinals at the Dubai International,

:39:54. > :39:54.after a comfortable straight The world number one needed just

:39:55. > :40:00.an hour and 12 minutes to see off He'll face Germany's Philipp

:40:01. > :40:07.Kohlschreiber in the last eight. But British number

:40:08. > :40:15.two Dan Evans is out. We were talking about Andy Murray,

:40:16. > :40:20.let's go to Andrew Murray, I bet you get that a lot! You can explain from

:40:21. > :40:25.your perspective what the difference is now that he's proposed rules

:40:26. > :40:27.might be coming in. There is a number, the headline maker

:40:28. > :40:31.affectively would be the fact that they will try to encourage people to

:40:32. > :40:35.play within 40 seconds when it is their turn to play. If it is not

:40:36. > :40:37.their turn to play, then they played ready golf, as it would be referred

:40:38. > :41:03.to, so that is one big thing. The other one is

:41:04. > :41:05.dropping the ball instead of shoulder height... You would drop a

:41:06. > :41:08.ball, if you drop it from a water hazard or something, you can drop

:41:09. > :41:10.from shoulder height but now you can effectively dropped from an inch,

:41:11. > :41:12.effectively placing the ball, which stops it rolling away and could

:41:13. > :41:15.stand the procedure. The other is they can prepare spike marks or

:41:16. > :41:18.damage made by other people. That is important. It is a fair rule,

:41:19. > :41:20.because why should I be penalised if you have made a scuff mark? The

:41:21. > :41:23.other one would be that you can putt from the putting green with the flag

:41:24. > :41:26.still implement that used to be a penalty shot if it hit the flag

:41:27. > :41:30.before it went in the hole. So that is another change to speed up play a

:41:31. > :41:34.little bit. Another couple, but those are the main headliners. If

:41:35. > :41:38.you accidentally nudged the ball, that is another one, which has been

:41:39. > :41:43.the case a number of times in some high profile events where you don't

:41:44. > :41:47.cause the ball to move, you have the putter behind the ball and the ball

:41:48. > :41:51.moves, you get penalised, that is a ridiculous rule because there should

:41:52. > :41:55.be no penalty, so there is no penalty if you strike the ball all

:41:56. > :41:59.the ball moves unintentionally. Will it encourage more people into the

:42:00. > :42:04.game? I hope so, let's play quicker, be more brisk and keep it simple. I

:42:05. > :42:08.will let you get ready, we will let Andrew show us what this is all

:42:09. > :42:15.about. This is pressure, serious pressure! Straight into the water?!

:42:16. > :42:28.I can, if you want! Shall I just go straight down the fairway? Watch

:42:29. > :42:35.out. Not great... But better than mine! Andrew, thank you very much

:42:36. > :42:38.indeed. He is better than me, obviously!

:42:39. > :42:44.Every time they do that I am worried about the camera, but it has fine!

:42:45. > :42:46.From earning himself a Brit nomination to performing live

:42:47. > :42:50.It's been quite a few months for the rapper who goes

:42:51. > :42:54.This week, his debut album has shot to the top of the charts taking him

:42:55. > :43:05.from hotly-tipped underground MC to mainstream star.

:43:06. > :43:07.We'll chat to Stormzy in a moment,

:43:08. > :43:10.but first, let's take a look at what he does best.

:43:11. > :43:13.# Tell my man shut up. Shut up.

:43:14. > :43:17.# Oi, rudeboy, shut up. Shut up.

:43:18. > :43:20.# Shut up. Shut up.

:43:21. > :43:23.# Tell my man... Shut up.

:43:24. > :43:24.# Couple man called me a back-up dancer.

:43:25. > :43:27.# Onstage at the Brits, I'm a back-up dancer.

:43:28. > :43:32.# The man in the pics, back-up dancer...#.

:43:33. > :43:46.# You're getting way too big for your boots.

:43:47. > :43:50.# I've got the big size twelves on my feet.

:43:51. > :43:55.# Kick up the yout, man know that I kick up the yout.

:43:56. > :43:57.# Dem boy dere tried twist up the truth.

:43:58. > :44:00.# How dare you twist up the truth, look.

:44:01. > :44:02.# You're getting way too big for your boots.

:44:03. > :44:06.# I've got the big size twelves on my feet.

:44:07. > :44:11.# Kick up the yout, man know that I kick up the yout...#.

:44:12. > :44:16.Giving us, in our houses, quite a lot of street cred this morning!

:44:17. > :44:19.Thank you very much indeed for coming to see us, it has been quite

:44:20. > :44:32.a couple of weeks for you, hasn't it? It has been crazy, all a bit mad

:44:33. > :44:35.for me! But I'm happy. You are maybe saying what some people are

:44:36. > :44:38.thinking, you are here on the sofa, you are a grime artist, is that what

:44:39. > :44:44.you are trying to do, to bring what you do to a different audience? My

:44:45. > :44:48.main thing, I always just wanted my music to go as far as possible. I'm

:44:49. > :44:54.not ashamed to say that I want people to listen to my music, I want

:44:55. > :45:02.the world to hear me out. It's all a bit crazy! You maybe got a different

:45:03. > :45:05.kind of audience when he went to the Brits a few days ago, performing

:45:06. > :45:10.with Ed Sheeran. Before we have a look at it, tell us how exciting

:45:11. > :45:19.that was? It was the scariest thing I've ever done, ever! When I saw it,

:45:20. > :45:24.I'm at the biggest award show in the country with the biggest artists in

:45:25. > :45:29.the world, on the biggest song in the world right now, and you've got

:45:30. > :45:36.two minutes to do this! I bugged out before. You seem like a very

:45:37. > :45:39.confident performer, it is all about that, the way you walk around the

:45:40. > :45:43.stage, but you were genuinely nervous? That was one of those

:45:44. > :45:48.moments, you know when someone is like, go on, kid, this is your time,

:45:49. > :45:50.give got one chance. I was like, I don't know! You pulled it off, let's

:45:51. > :46:10.have a look. # I'm in love with the shape of you

:46:11. > :46:15.# Because you pull like a magnet # My heart is falling too--% I'm in

:46:16. > :46:22.love with your body # Last night you were in my room

:46:23. > :46:29.# Now my bed sheets smell like youles #

:46:30. > :46:35.Clearly enjoying that. Tell us about yourself. How would you describe

:46:36. > :46:42.your time at school, for example? My time at school - I was quite smart

:46:43. > :46:50.in school, I got good grades. I was just a bit of a little, like a bit

:46:51. > :46:54.of a class clown. Pushing the edges? Yes, playing the fine borderline

:46:55. > :47:00.between getting excluded but the teachers kind of loving me. I had a

:47:01. > :47:06.great time in school, I went to school in South London. You took

:47:07. > :47:11.GCSEs? Yes. Did you carry on in school? Yes. I went to college and

:47:12. > :47:17.then eventually left college and went on to do my apprenticeship and

:47:18. > :47:21.then after that, BBC Breakfast! LAUGHTER.

:47:22. > :47:26.You were sort of a competitive reader when you were at school? Yes.

:47:27. > :47:40.You read because you were getting... I used to get these little badges.

:47:41. > :47:43.It's a weird story but you go to the library every summer time in primary

:47:44. > :47:47.school, every time you read one, they would give you a badge. I would

:47:48. > :47:51.do all the reading, get a badge, put them on a big blanket. At the

:47:52. > :47:55.beginning of school in September, I would two to school with a blanket

:47:56. > :48:01.like yeah, look. It's a great message for World Book Day. Yes.

:48:02. > :48:06.Reading for me was just one of my favourite pastimes which, looking

:48:07. > :48:11.back, I'm like, what was that, but it definitely helped to get me where

:48:12. > :48:21.I am today. Can you give us the mugs guide to the difference between rap

:48:22. > :48:28.and grime? OK. Grime is very British. Grime is a lot faster. It's

:48:29. > :48:35.high energy. So it's the pace of the delivery. Also the sounds. Grime is

:48:36. > :48:41.more electronic, whereas rap is other things. It's so difficult to

:48:42. > :48:45.explain just by talking. It's more of a thing you have to listen to.

:48:46. > :48:48.You have to listen to both genres, then you can see there is a

:48:49. > :48:56.difference. The thing about grime, you have to listen carefully because

:48:57. > :49:01.it's so fast. Tell me a bit about the album, called Gangs Signs and

:49:02. > :49:07.Prayer. Two ends of the spectrum, aren't they? Yes. It's the first

:49:08. > :49:16.time I've released any body of work so it's all a bit crazy for me, but

:49:17. > :49:20.the message behind the name of the album, so they're two ends of the

:49:21. > :49:24.spectrum and I feel like both have been imperative in my career, in my

:49:25. > :49:29.life full stop, just me as a man and my character. So I had to make a

:49:30. > :49:32.body of work that represented, me represents where I come from,

:49:33. > :49:38.represents what I've been through, my journey and where I am now and

:49:39. > :49:43.both sides of that coin. So it was very difficult to feel like I proper

:49:44. > :49:47.put my everything into it. All those things are important. Then there's

:49:48. > :49:50.your mum? Yes, of course, mumsy, yeah, man!

:49:51. > :49:54.You talk about her a lot and how she's the reason you are able to do

:49:55. > :50:01.what you are doing, she's an inspiration? Yes, on the album there

:50:02. > :50:08.is a song about my mum called 100 Bags, she didn't hear that until...

:50:09. > :50:12.Actually she's in Ghana, I was trying to speak to her on her phone

:50:13. > :50:17.and she can't connect. She'll hear it soon, but it's a tribute to my

:50:18. > :50:21.mum. When I talk about my mum sometimes I feel like I'm kind of

:50:22. > :50:27.showing off because everyone loves their mum innit, like, we all love

:50:28. > :50:31.our mums, so I think what's different about mine but she's been

:50:32. > :50:41.there. She must be very proud. Yes.

:50:42. > :50:46.Stormzy's album is called Gang Signs and Prayer.

:50:47. > :50:53.I managed to get that. Stamp of approval! Thanks for that. Thank you

:50:54. > :50:59.for being polite. Carol, tell us about the weather.

:51:00. > :51:08.Look at the Northern Lights in Peterhead. Gorgeous colours,

:51:09. > :51:13.weather-watchers have done us proud. This one from Moray, again beautiful

:51:14. > :51:19.colours, Lossiemouth again another beautiful one from Moray and this

:51:20. > :51:24.one from Mallaig, the pinks and purposeles there and the last one is

:51:25. > :51:31.from Breakish in the Isle of Skye. If you want to see this tonight, you

:51:32. > :51:38.may be lucky if you are north of the central belt between 9pm and 3 am.

:51:39. > :51:44.Aberdeenshire, Moray, the north-west Highlands. For the rest of us today,

:51:45. > :51:49.a breezy day, for some it's windy in southern England and Wales. That

:51:50. > :51:52.will ease and there's some wind and showers around, particularly across

:51:53. > :51:55.parts of North Wales and the Midlands towards East Anglia. That

:51:56. > :52:00.will tend to fizzle out throughout the day.

:52:01. > :52:04.As we come south, through the afternoon, you could catch the odd

:52:05. > :52:11.shower, for example across south-west Wales or England. They're

:52:12. > :52:14.fairly few and far between and you could be lucky depending on your

:52:15. > :52:19.point of view, if you catch one in the south-east.

:52:20. > :52:23.North-east England seeing the sunshine. A bit of cloud in the odd

:52:24. > :52:26.shower. A bright afternoon in Northern Ireland with showers

:52:27. > :52:29.continuing in the north and west of Scotland.

:52:30. > :52:34.In-between those, we are looking at some sunshine. In the evening and

:52:35. > :52:40.overnight, rain pushes in across Northern Ireland.

:52:41. > :52:44.At the same time, we have two systems coming up from the south

:52:45. > :52:48.introducing some rain and breezier conditions. So not as cold in the

:52:49. > :52:52.south and colder in the north and don't forget under the clearer

:52:53. > :52:56.skies, not only is there a risk of ice, but you may see the Northern

:52:57. > :53:00.Lights. Tomorrow, both the bands of rain continue to drift north,

:53:01. > :53:03.eradicating the brighter start that you'll have, for example in Northern

:53:04. > :53:10.Ireland and northern England. But you may hang on to some cloud

:53:11. > :53:17.breaks. It's tenuous whether you do or not, but across the north is

:53:18. > :53:20.where you will have the lion's share of that.

:53:21. > :53:23.Low pressure still in charge of the weather, not just on Saturday but

:53:24. > :53:28.Sunday. Look at the extent of the weather front. From the med all the

:53:29. > :53:34.way down curling around towards Britney. -- Brittainy. Hill snow

:53:35. > :53:38.across Scotland. You can see the complete circle of that. In-between,

:53:39. > :53:43.drier conditions, bright spells and one or two showers and

:53:44. > :53:48.temperature-wise, between six in the north to ten in the south. I want to

:53:49. > :53:58.say thank you to everyone who sent in their fabulous pictures this

:53:59. > :54:03.morning too Lou and Dan. Oops. It had to happen. I just know that

:54:04. > :54:16.feeling! I can never remember who is on!

:54:17. > :54:28.The time is 80... Sorry 8.54. It's catching! A lot of people getting in

:54:29. > :54:31.touch about this next subject. Ben is looking at how work places are

:54:32. > :54:35.aiming to treat mental health problems as seriously as they

:54:36. > :54:39.actually do physical health problems. Ben's got more now.

:54:40. > :54:42.Morning. Good morning, you are absolutely right. A lot of personal

:54:43. > :54:46.stories we have heard this morning. We are in the very grand setting of

:54:47. > :54:50.the Institute of Directors here because today they launched a big

:54:51. > :54:54.initiative to get many of their members to help staff a bit better.

:54:55. > :54:57.It's about talking about it, reducing the stigma that surround

:54:58. > :55:00.mental health and what firms can be doing to encourage staff to talk

:55:01. > :55:06.about it and seek help where it's needed. You might say it's easy for

:55:07. > :55:11.firms to talk about safety in the work place, ticking boxes, making

:55:12. > :55:15.sure we don't have accidents but mental health is more difficult. We

:55:16. > :55:20.have some guests here to discuss with us. Steven, you are the boss

:55:21. > :55:26.here, Sam you are a City lawyer and Madeleine you work at the mental

:55:27. > :55:29.health charity Mind. Steven, you launched the big initiative today

:55:30. > :55:32.and it's an important one, to get people to talk about it and to get

:55:33. > :55:36.over the stigma that often surrounds mental health? Absolutely. There is

:55:37. > :55:39.a massive stigma that we believe still exists in the country about

:55:40. > :55:44.even mentioning mental health. We have got to get away from that. It

:55:45. > :55:50.has a big impact on business in terms of lost productivity, a good

:55:51. > :55:54.and happy engaged workforce makes a huge difference to to companies. We

:55:55. > :55:57.want to get the conversations going and make sure there is no stigma. We

:55:58. > :56:01.have been talking about what it meant for you and that point Steven

:56:02. > :56:04.makes about the lack of productivity. You found you couldn't

:56:05. > :56:09.work, you couldn't do your job? Absolutely. I remember clear as a

:56:10. > :56:16.bell sitting at my desk, you know, looking at all this paper and

:56:17. > :56:21.thinking, I cannot take in what is in it, I can't retain it, it was

:56:22. > :56:25.terrible, it led to a period of not being in the office. When did you

:56:26. > :56:30.realise that it wasn't just a bad day, that you had a stressful couple

:56:31. > :56:33.of weeks, because I imagine many people would feel that sort of

:56:34. > :56:37.element to it and not think that they need to go and get help. How do

:56:38. > :56:43.you define the two? Absolutely. I mean I went through this prolonged

:56:44. > :56:48.period of exhaustion, sleeplessness, crying behind my computer screen,

:56:49. > :56:51.but I just thought I was overstressed, overtired and

:56:52. > :56:56.eventually it was my GP said I'm going to refer you to a psychiatrist

:56:57. > :56:59.to whom I went kicking and screaming, but it was absolutely the

:57:00. > :57:03.best thing to do. Madeleine, you see this all the time

:57:04. > :57:07.of course and the figures back this up that people are very reluctant to

:57:08. > :57:12.get help. If someone is watching this right now, and say, I recognise

:57:13. > :57:17.the signs, where do they start? I think the main point to say is that

:57:18. > :57:21.it's OK to talk about it, whether that's to a peer or colleague at

:57:22. > :57:25.work or your manager or a friend, member of your family or your GP,

:57:26. > :57:30.the most important thing is that as soon as you can, you say actually I

:57:31. > :57:33.do need some help. As Sam said, sometimes you don't always recognise

:57:34. > :57:37.it in yourself, you think you are tired or stresses and you don't

:57:38. > :57:41.think it's anything more serious than that. That's why we should look

:57:42. > :57:48.out for each other and employers should put in structures and support

:57:49. > :57:52.systems that enable employers to say, I might need help. It's

:57:53. > :57:55.important. Steven, is it easier for smaller firms because if you are a

:57:56. > :58:00.big organisation, you have the time and resources to put in a dedicated

:58:01. > :58:06.mental health first-aider. Small firms can't do it, can they?

:58:07. > :58:10.Admittedly it's more difficult but we are trying to provide them with

:58:11. > :58:13.the signposts of where to go for help and information. People aren't

:58:14. > :58:19.aware of all the help that's out there. We are trying to make it

:58:20. > :58:22.easier for people to get the help, support #57bed guidance because

:58:23. > :58:28.otherwise we won't move forward on this -- support, help and guidance.

:58:29. > :58:33.Sam, what would it have been that helped you in that situation, where

:58:34. > :58:36.would you have wanted to turn to? It's about normalising the

:58:37. > :58:40.discussion. We have a great framework and resources but for me,

:58:41. > :58:49.it was a question of oh God I don't want to stick my head above the

:58:50. > :58:53.parapit and increasingly the awareness is helping to normalise

:58:54. > :58:57.the situation. Thank you all so much, it's great to talk to you all.

:58:58. > :59:00.It's about talking about it and removing that stigma and thank you

:59:01. > :59:03.so much for all of the comments and stories that you've sent through to

:59:04. > :59:06.us this morning, it's really worth talking about them and it's really

:59:07. > :59:09.wonderful to hear them all so thank you very much and we'll have more

:59:10. > :59:14.from here and of course it's an issue that will keep on going. More

:59:15. > :59:18.details on the Facebook page and online on the BBC website. Thank you

:59:19. > :59:27.very much to them for talking to us. Details of organisations

:59:36. > :59:43.councils around the UK as a novel way to bring a splash of colour

:59:46. > :59:52.become the latest to announce that more sites there are

:59:53. > :59:55.to be spray-painted. But, for some people,

:59:56. > :59:57.it's not so different to illegal graffiti,

:59:58. > :59:59.which authorities spend millions Breakfast's Tim Muffett has

:00:00. > :00:05.been finding out more. It looks nice on empty buildings,

:00:06. > :00:14.gives it a bit of colour. For two years, with the blessing of

:00:15. > :00:27.the council, artists like Sky-high have been spraying

:00:28. > :00:29.walls and buildings. When you see graffiti

:00:30. > :00:31.and it's well done, Some of it is not too bad,

:00:32. > :00:35.but some of it I can't make What impact does this

:00:36. > :00:39.have on an area? The thing is, kind of,

:00:40. > :00:49.art is something that transcends As long as it causes

:00:50. > :00:52.a reaction and engages you, I think it's brilliant,

:00:53. > :00:56.to be honest. Councils not just in the UK

:00:57. > :01:17.and Europe, but from South America, contact us and see how can

:01:18. > :01:23.they can do what we've done. Croydon Council recently

:01:24. > :01:24.commissioned more street art Other councils have been supporting

:01:25. > :01:28.it in designated places. Glasgow, Brighton, Blackpool,

:01:29. > :01:29.Norwich and Bristol, where the most famous

:01:30. > :01:31.street artist of all, I think a lot of councils

:01:32. > :01:35.still have a confused perspective On the one hand, they're still

:01:36. > :01:41.penalising people for producing it, and a lot of graffiti artists

:01:42. > :01:44.are still going to prison for producing graffiti,

:01:45. > :01:46.whereas now councils are also Anthropologist Rafael Schacter has

:01:47. > :01:49.studied the spread and impact Councils spend millions

:01:50. > :01:59.removing illegal graffiti, but sometimes street art

:02:00. > :02:02.is painted without permission. If it's by Banksy, it can

:02:03. > :02:06.be worth a fortune. There's this kind of passive

:02:07. > :02:09.permissibility, where street art Councils are not sure whether it can

:02:10. > :02:14.be a good or bad thing, There is also this active

:02:15. > :02:17.solicitation, where street artists This is County Road in Walton,

:02:48. > :02:50.by graffiti artist Kieran Gorman. 200 people a week now

:02:55. > :02:56.more and more people are getting When councils start backing

:02:57. > :03:01.street art projects, does that make it

:03:02. > :03:02.a bit too mainstream? But it is how I make my living as

:03:03. > :03:20.well. From art to books.

:03:21. > :03:24.We are surrounded by books, as many people will be. If you take a look

:03:25. > :03:32.around the classroom, it is likely you will be surrounded by Harry

:04:55. > :05:01.knees feel funny, she complained to Jack. He laughed, don't be a baby!

:05:02. > :05:06.You don't have to say a word if you don't want to!

:05:07. > :05:09.That was good! I liked the voices! I think I have embarrassed myself

:05:10. > :05:11.quite a lot today. I think you just got a job somewhere

:05:12. > :05:19.doing something! I know some of you didn't get

:05:20. > :05:21.the right local news at 8.30am Bye bye.

:05:22. > :07:10.brief look at the headlines Welcome back, hopefully it was your

:07:11. > :07:13.news! It's a hotel where no request

:07:14. > :07:16.is too large or small, whether that's having your socks

:07:17. > :07:18.pressed or arranging for a lorryful of luggage to be

:07:19. > :07:21.delivered to your room. Every whim of the guests

:07:22. > :07:23.is catered for at the luxury For the first time in it's history

:07:24. > :07:30.it's allowing cameras behind the scenes to take a look

:07:31. > :07:33.at the lives of those We'll be speaking to two of the

:07:34. > :07:39.hotel concierges in just a moment but first let's take a quick look

:07:40. > :07:49.at the programme. Very good afternoon, this is the

:07:50. > :07:54.concierge speaking. Thank you so much for asking, I am always

:07:55. > :07:57.wonderful. London's Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park

:07:58. > :08:09.is one of the world's most exclusive hotels. The Royal Suite goes for

:08:10. > :08:16.?15,000 a night. If you want to stay at this kind of hotel, you need

:08:17. > :08:21.money. If not, how do you pay?! You cannot pay with love! Offering elite

:08:22. > :08:27.Cleon tell a flavour of traditional Britain. I'm always a sucker for

:08:28. > :08:35.cucumber sandwiches! Now, for the first time in its history, the hotel

:08:36. > :08:46.has agreed to open its doors. Both upstairs... I'm in the Royal Suite!

:08:47. > :08:55.And down stairs. Top notch hotel, they expect top-notch. And revealed

:08:56. > :08:59.to the world the secret of its success. I wish you the most

:09:00. > :09:05.pleasant afternoon ever. Thank you, goodbye.

:09:06. > :09:10.Francois who you thought there is with us now, Nigel is also with us,

:09:11. > :09:15.both concierges. Does the accident help, do you think? It just sounds

:09:16. > :09:25.so lovely, though you are on the desk being polite to people. I think

:09:26. > :09:30.it does! Marvellous. Nigel, what are the prime things for a concierge?

:09:31. > :09:34.You have to be ready for any question? Absolutely, when you

:09:35. > :09:40.arrive to work each day you need to be up for anything, you need to be

:09:41. > :09:46.up for whatever the guestbook wires, anything as simple as transportation

:09:47. > :09:50.arrangements, travel arrangements, to arranging tickets to sold-out

:09:51. > :09:54.events and shows. That is exactly a question I wanted to ask you, I

:09:55. > :10:00.happen to know that Harry Potter and the curse of child is sold out until

:10:01. > :10:05.2018. Somebody comes in and says, I want to see that night, can you make

:10:06. > :10:09.that happen? Absolutely, a good network of contacts is the most

:10:10. > :10:13.important thing for a concierge without a doubt. During the filming

:10:14. > :10:17.you have various problems arise, people turning up with lots of

:10:18. > :10:21.baggage is one of them but I believe there is one person who arrives with

:10:22. > :10:29.200 items of luggage. Is that unusual? Nothing is unusual! When

:10:30. > :10:33.you work in a 5-star hotel, everything is normal. It depends on

:10:34. > :10:38.the death addition you give to normality. You guys presumably lead

:10:39. > :10:43.normal lives away from the hotel, do you have to believe that behind? You

:10:44. > :10:48.enter a different world when you go into work? Absolutely, it is a

:10:49. > :10:53.stagecraft, I suppose, an act. We live very normal lives outside of

:10:54. > :10:58.work, and you arrive, put on the uniform, put on your golden keys as

:10:59. > :11:04.a concierge, the Society of Golden keys that we work amongst, and it is

:11:05. > :11:08.showtime. Absolutely it is a performance. I want to see a bit

:11:09. > :11:11.behind the scenes, behind the glamorous front of house, there are

:11:12. > :11:16.lots of people working behind the scenes making sure staff and guests

:11:17. > :11:19.look the part. Working two floors below street

:11:20. > :11:23.level, Max and his colleagues keep staff uniforms looking smart and

:11:24. > :11:27.cater to the guests' every laundry need. 5-star hotel, they expect

:11:28. > :11:34.top-notch. Chop Chop, they pay money, they need it now. We do our

:11:35. > :11:40.best, usually that is half an hour because there are other guests who

:11:41. > :11:50.also want Chop chop. Maxine's boss is the laundry manager, Erica. What

:11:51. > :11:54.do you want me to do? It is brand-new. Irrelevant, maybe he

:11:55. > :12:00.likes the smell of dry-cleaning. They are brand-new from the shop. It

:12:01. > :12:03.is more for us, more money. Some people watching some bits of the

:12:04. > :12:07.programme, there is a fascination with it but also some people might

:12:08. > :12:11.find it distasteful, the excess, a brand-new piece of clothing that

:12:12. > :12:17.somebody wants dry-cleaned. I didn't really think about it, but... I'm

:12:18. > :12:21.not asking you to make a judgment, I know it is awkward for you, but

:12:22. > :12:27.people will be thinking, is that really what happens? In some aspect

:12:28. > :12:30.it is, we have guests from all walks of life, all facets internationally

:12:31. > :12:35.all over the world, and we cater for their every need. I think when you

:12:36. > :12:40.step inside the world of a 5-star luxury hotel, it is an escape, it is

:12:41. > :12:48.different, it is like entering another world, another area, so...

:12:49. > :12:51.But none of it, for us, is out of the ordinary, really. Another

:12:52. > :12:57.crucial tip, you leave your bag there for a couple of hours, do you

:12:58. > :13:05.expect a tip? How does that work? No, no, tipping is that a guest's

:13:06. > :13:10.discretion. Has that changed over the years? I think the attitude

:13:11. > :13:14.towards it has, but it is a gratuity intensive profession, I suppose, in

:13:15. > :13:19.some respects, but we never expect, absolutely. We will see more in the

:13:20. > :13:20.documentary. Francois, do you want to read this for us, because your

:13:21. > :13:25.voice is so much better! A Very British Hotel

:13:26. > :13:28.is on Channel 4, Tonight, at 9pm. That's it for this morning,

:13:29. > :13:31.I'm back with Steph tomorrow. But for now it's goodbye

:13:32. > :13:35.from us here on Breakfast.
