:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Steph

:00:07. > :00:10.A warning for patients in England about the risk

:00:11. > :00:17.The health regulator says companies may not be prescribing the right

:00:18. > :00:19.drugs, carrying out thorough checks, or have clinicians

:00:20. > :00:45.Also this morning: Nearly 18 months on, a final report

:00:46. > :00:47.into the Shoreham Airshow disaster, where 11 people died,

:00:48. > :00:51.The number of workers with controversial zero-hours

:00:52. > :01:00.I will have more shortly on why it has grown so quickly.

:01:01. > :01:02.In sport: Murray's marathon tie-break in the desert.

:01:03. > :01:05.It was 31 minutes before the world number one eventually won

:01:06. > :01:08.the tie-break, and then the match, at the Dubai championship

:01:09. > :01:15.We will be finding out about the work of the Imperial War Museum,

:01:16. > :01:21.And Sarah has the weather from Greenwich for us this morning.

:01:22. > :01:29.Good morning. Good morning to you. I am at the gallery here on the

:01:30. > :01:34.Greenwich peninsula and I am bringing you the weather from in

:01:35. > :01:38.amongst the flowers in this art installation called the Iris. We

:01:39. > :01:42.will be looking at this more throughout the morning, and I will

:01:43. > :01:43.have the full, fairly soggy forecast in about 15 minutes.

:01:44. > :01:46.Patients could be at risk of harm when buying medication

:01:47. > :01:49.That is the warning from the Care Quality Commission.

:01:50. > :01:52.It comes after an investigation found firms may be prescribing

:01:53. > :01:54.unsuitable medication, failing to carry out thorough

:01:55. > :01:55.medical history checks, or employing clinicians

:01:56. > :02:00.The healthcare watchdog has for the first time published a set

:02:01. > :02:02.of guidelines for online companies offering doctor services in England.

:02:03. > :02:18.More than 40 companies offer online prescriptions in England, but today

:02:19. > :02:23.the CQC says they could be putting patients at risk. Dan is about to

:02:24. > :02:28.run out of his medicine. He can just visit treat it .com. Had suspended

:02:29. > :02:32.the registration of this online company back in December partly as a

:02:33. > :02:36.result of the BBC investigation which looked at its sale of

:02:37. > :02:39.antibiotics. The company said it has made many changes to its processes

:02:40. > :02:46.and systems, that will eventually satisfy the regulators. Get better,

:02:47. > :02:49.get treated .com. But the CQC is worried more widely about the safety

:02:50. > :02:53.of online services. They say there is a risk of people being prescribed

:02:54. > :02:58.unsuitable medication, the treatment causing publications to existing

:02:59. > :03:02.health conditions, and a lack of monitoring of follow-ups for

:03:03. > :03:08.patients. We have now looked at 11 providers, two of which have been

:03:09. > :03:12.published today, and we are quite shocked about what we have found.

:03:13. > :03:16.And indeed, in those other providers, we have also found some

:03:17. > :03:20.really serious problems, and those reports will be published over the

:03:21. > :03:25.next few weeks. For the first time, the CQC has published a clear set of

:03:26. > :03:30.standards for online doctors. They must verify patients matched their

:03:31. > :03:34.photo ID, such as through a Skype check. They must get a competence of

:03:35. > :03:39.medical history, and seek permission to contact a patient's GP. There

:03:40. > :03:43.will be a thorough inspection of all companies by the end of the year.

:03:44. > :03:47.But in the meantime the official advice is to be very careful before

:03:48. > :03:47.you buy from an online doctor or pharmacy.

:03:48. > :03:50.We will speak to GP and broadcaster Dr Faye Kirkland

:03:51. > :03:52.about what she found when she bought prescription medicine online.

:03:53. > :04:01.The police watchdog has published a critical report into how

:04:02. > :04:04.the Cumbria force handled the death of 13-month-old Poppi Worthington

:04:05. > :04:07.The toddler was found seriously injured at her home.

:04:08. > :04:10.The Independent Police Complaints Commission says officers failed

:04:11. > :04:12.to adequately investigate whether she had been abused.

:04:13. > :04:14.Cumbria Police says it accepts the report's criticism unreservedly.

:04:15. > :04:16.Chief Constable Jeremy Graham of Cumbria Constabulary apologised

:04:17. > :04:34.I am very clear that the initial investigation into Poppi

:04:35. > :04:39.Worthington's death fell well short of what Poppi 's family could have

:04:40. > :04:45.expected and indeed should have expected, and I would like to give a

:04:46. > :04:50.heartfelt apology to Poppi 's family four the inadequacies in Cumbria

:04:51. > :04:51.Constabulary's initial investigation.

:04:52. > :04:54.The US Attorney General is removing himself from an FBI investigation

:04:55. > :04:56.into claims Russia meddled in November's presidential election.

:04:57. > :04:59.Jeff Sessions has been under pressure to stand aside after it

:05:00. > :05:02.emerged he met the Russian ambassador during the course

:05:03. > :05:05.President Trump insisted that Mr Sessions is an honest man,

:05:06. > :05:08.but said he could have been more accurate when questioned

:05:09. > :05:14.about his meetings with Russian diplomats.

:05:15. > :05:16.Air accident investigators are publishing their final report

:05:17. > :05:21.11 people died when a vintage jet performing a loop stunt crashed

:05:22. > :05:26.The report will not apportion blame, but will look at the cause

:05:27. > :05:28.of the crash and make safety recommendations.

:05:29. > :05:45.This was the Hawker Hunter jet at the centre of the Shoreham air

:05:46. > :05:49.crash. The key attraction at the show over the Sussex seaside town

:05:50. > :05:57.but during one acrobatic manoeuvre this happened. The jet crashed by

:05:58. > :06:01.the A27, that ran alongside the Showground. 11 men were killed. It

:06:02. > :06:06.was the worst airshow accident in Britain in more than 60 years. Among

:06:07. > :06:12.those who died were two friends, Matthew Greenstone and Jacob Shield,

:06:13. > :06:17.worth 23 and both players bought Worthing United football club. The

:06:18. > :06:21.club vice-chairman, Marcus Anderson, says the disaster continues to haunt

:06:22. > :06:26.all of those who knew the young man. We wear their names on our kit, so

:06:27. > :06:31.they will always be remembered by us as great footballers. You know,

:06:32. > :06:38.first of all, they were superb players, and as brilliant friends.

:06:39. > :06:45.The pilot of the jet was Andy Hill. He survived the crash with serious

:06:46. > :06:49.injuries. He is now the subject of a police investigation into possible

:06:50. > :06:53.manslaughter. Accident investigators had already published a number of

:06:54. > :06:57.preliminary reports. He said the jet was working normally, and that the

:06:58. > :07:03.show's organisers had not been aware of what Mr Hill intended to do

:07:04. > :07:07.during his aerial display. The civil aviation authority, which governs

:07:08. > :07:11.the safety of Britain's air displays, has already brought in a

:07:12. > :07:14.number of changes following the Shoreham air crash. It has increased

:07:15. > :07:18.the distance between the display and the crowds watching below and also

:07:19. > :07:23.requires pilots to be better qualified before carrying out these

:07:24. > :07:28.acrobatic manoeuvres. Today's final report on the crash should answer

:07:29. > :07:34.both the what and why this accident happened. One key aim will also be

:07:35. > :07:39.to give the victims' families are full, final measure of understanding

:07:40. > :07:41.about their weight their loved ones died. -- the way loved ones died.

:07:42. > :07:43.And we will be talking to an aviation lawyer

:07:44. > :07:46.who represented the families when the accident happened

:07:47. > :07:53.Theresa May will make it clear that keeping Scotland in the UK

:07:54. > :07:55.is a personal priority when she addresses the Scottish

:07:56. > :07:57.Conservative Party conference in Glasgow later today.

:07:58. > :08:00.She will attempt to defuse calls for another referendum on independence.

:08:01. > :08:02.Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has said

:08:03. > :08:06.she believes she has a cast iron mandate to hold a second ballot,

:08:07. > :08:08.after Scotland overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU.

:08:09. > :08:10.Speaking to the BBC's Reporting Scotland programme ahead

:08:11. > :08:13.of the speech, Mrs May accused the SNP of having tunnel

:08:14. > :08:30.I think in 2014 the people of Scotland voted to stay within the

:08:31. > :08:35.United Kingdom. It was described by the SNP as a once in a generation

:08:36. > :08:39.vote that took place at that time. I don't think people want a referendum

:08:40. > :08:43.today. To me, to me politics isn't a game. To me politics is about

:08:44. > :08:47.people's lives. It's about delivering for people on the issues

:08:48. > :08:51.that really matter to them on a day-to-day basis, and I can't help

:08:52. > :08:55.feel that the SNP has tunnel vision about independence. Actually, I

:08:56. > :08:59.think what people want is for the SNP government to get on with

:09:00. > :09:02.dealing with the issues they want to see addressed on a day-to-day basis.

:09:03. > :09:05.The number of people on zero-hours contracts has reached a record high,

:09:06. > :09:07.according to figures from the Resolution Foundation.

:09:08. > :09:09.Sean is here to explain what is going on.

:09:10. > :09:17.Good morning. Good morning. They are controversial, aren't they? They

:09:18. > :09:22.have been over the years, zero-hours contracts, where they don't

:09:23. > :09:28.guarantee them any amount of work. There has been a big growth, 910,000

:09:29. > :09:34.people have these. Compare that to 30% more than three years ago. There

:09:35. > :09:37.has been a bit of growth, but we noticed in this analysis of the

:09:38. > :09:41.figures in the last six months of last year there was actually a bit

:09:42. > :09:45.of not growing anywhere near as much as it used to. So they are now

:09:46. > :09:48.looking at, are we getting near the peak, the maximum number of people

:09:49. > :09:53.having these contracts? Partly because people can bargain a bit

:09:54. > :09:56.harder, lots of people are in work so maybe you can bargain for a

:09:57. > :10:00.stronger contracts, and companies, reputation wise, it has not been

:10:01. > :10:04.good headlines and companies have been thinking let's offer staff some

:10:05. > :10:05.guaranteed hours, not these zero hours contracts.

:10:06. > :10:07.Counting will get under way later this morning

:10:08. > :10:09.for Northern Ireland's Assembly election vote.

:10:10. > :10:11.Polls closed last night, with final results expected

:10:12. > :10:15.It is the second time that Northern Ireland has had to choose

:10:16. > :10:17.a Government in the space of ten months.

:10:18. > :10:30.This generation might not remember the Troubles,

:10:31. > :10:34.but elections in Northern Ireland tend to expose

:10:35. > :10:38.of this vote are known, the challenge could be holding

:10:39. > :10:42.The DUP's Arlene Foster led her party into this election,

:10:43. > :10:44.following a bitter fallout with Irish republicans.

:10:45. > :10:47.Over the last few weeks, harsh words have been exchanged

:10:48. > :10:49.between Mrs Foster and the new Sinn Fein leader,

:10:50. > :10:55.That has led some to question whether they will be heading back

:10:56. > :11:00.into Government together any time soon.

:11:01. > :11:03.In the last Assembly election, which was, remember,

:11:04. > :11:06.less than a year ago, the DUP returned as the biggest

:11:07. > :11:14.While Sinn Fein were in second place, with 28 Assembly Members.

:11:15. > :11:22.The opposition parties, the SDLP, the Ulster Unionists,

:11:23. > :11:29.and the Alliance, will all hope to increase their share of the vote

:11:30. > :11:33.this time, and that is true for the smaller parties too.

:11:34. > :11:35.But actually gaining seats could be difficult,

:11:36. > :11:37.because the number of Assembly Members is being reduced

:11:38. > :11:42.The strength of each of the parties is likely to be important

:11:43. > :11:48.To try to get a deal that would allow power sharing

:11:49. > :11:54.Army bomb disposal teams have been working through the night to prepare

:11:55. > :11:56.for the removal of an unexploded Second World War bomb.

:11:57. > :11:59.It was discovered on a building site in North-West London yesterday

:12:00. > :12:02.Schools, businesses and homes were evacuated after police and fire

:12:03. > :12:07.The Council has warned the site won't be made safe

:12:08. > :12:26.Another milestone for Andy Murray. Tiebreaks are used to settle matches

:12:27. > :12:30.at the end of sets, if they are still 6-6, it is the first to seven

:12:31. > :12:34.points, they usually go for five or ten minutes. This one overnight

:12:35. > :12:39.lasted 31 minutes, the longest since way back in 1991, which says

:12:40. > :12:39.something, doesn't it? Andy Murray obviously winning it.

:12:40. > :12:43.The end result is that Andy Murray is through to the semi-finals

:12:44. > :12:46.of the Dubai Championships, but the story is the way he got past

:12:47. > :12:56.Murray had to save seven match points, before winning

:12:57. > :12:58.the second-set tie-break, which forced the match

:12:59. > :13:03.into a decider, and it took him over half an hour to do so.

:13:04. > :13:06.British Cycling has apologised for failings in the way it looked

:13:07. > :13:08.after its riders, and has promised to improve.

:13:09. > :13:10.After accusation of bullying and sexism, chairman

:13:11. > :13:12.Jonathan Browning says the organisation will make changes,

:13:13. > :13:17.It is three Super League wins out of three for Castleford Tigers.

:13:18. > :13:20.They dismantled Leeds Rhinos in the big West Yorkshire Derby last

:13:21. > :13:30.And Sam Billings looks set to open the batting for England

:13:31. > :13:38.It is the first of a three-match one day series,

:13:39. > :13:40.as Eoin Morgan's side build up to hosting

:13:41. > :13:49.Let's find out what is happening with the weather. Sarah is out and

:13:50. > :13:55.about for us, and that looks lovely. Tell us where you are. I am here on

:13:56. > :14:00.the Greenwich Peninsula, in amongst this art installation called the

:14:01. > :14:04.Iris, by the artist Rebecca Louise Law, and she has used 10,000 fresh

:14:05. > :14:09.irises, each one of them suspended from the ceiling via piece of copper

:14:10. > :14:15.wire, so they give the illusion that they are just floating in the air, a

:14:16. > :14:18.really art installation. We have some beautiful springlike flowers,

:14:19. > :14:22.and across many parts of the country the spring flowers are starting to

:14:23. > :14:25.break out. But the weather not looking all that springlike over the

:14:26. > :14:30.next few days. It is pretty unsettled and we have low pressure

:14:31. > :14:34.in charge. Rain at times through the day and on into the weekend as well.

:14:35. > :14:38.One or two showers across the far north of Scotland but for much of

:14:39. > :14:42.northern and central Scotland it is a cold, frosty but clear start

:14:43. > :14:46.today. Rain and hill snow to the far south of Scotland, the north-east of

:14:47. > :14:50.England looks mostly dry and bright. As we head down across East Anglia

:14:51. > :14:54.and the south-east of England, by 9am the rain will start to set in.

:14:55. > :14:57.It is already reining in the south-east, some heavy bursts and

:14:58. > :15:01.strong, lost three winds around the South Coast as well. Heading towards

:15:02. > :15:05.Devon and Cornwall, outbreaks of rain through the course of the

:15:06. > :15:09.morning and that rain also affecting many sun southern and central parts

:15:10. > :15:13.of Wales. The north Wales public driver a good part of the morning,

:15:14. > :15:16.as will be parts of northern England but across Northern Ireland you will

:15:17. > :15:20.see further spells of rain and perhaps even some hill snow around

:15:21. > :15:23.as well. As we head through the course of the day, that rain in the

:15:24. > :15:27.south pushes its way gradually northwards through the day so about

:15:28. > :15:31.lunchtime that rain arriving across quite a good part of northern

:15:32. > :15:35.England, wet for Northern Ireland and much of Scotland having not a

:15:36. > :15:38.bad day. There will be some sunshine around but temperatures only around

:15:39. > :15:42.six or seven towards the north but further south it is a milder day,

:15:43. > :15:47.with temperatures around 11 or 12 degrees. On into the evening and

:15:48. > :15:50.overnight, that rain continues its progress further north. Some rain

:15:51. > :15:55.and hill snow pushing across much of Scotland and Northern Ireland as

:15:56. > :15:58.well. Meanwhile, across England and Wales the weather will dry up a

:15:59. > :16:02.little bit. Still a few showers around, and quite mild towards the

:16:03. > :16:06.south. Eight or nine degrees first thing, whereas further north three

:16:07. > :16:10.or four Mac, a touch of frost likely across much of Scotland. Through the

:16:11. > :16:15.morning we continue to see that wet weather, particularly across much of

:16:16. > :16:18.Scotland. Rain and hill snow, also for Northern Ireland is looking

:16:19. > :16:23.windy and wet but England and Wales having not a bad day. A good deal of

:16:24. > :16:26.dry weather around, a few showers in the east and temperatures generally

:16:27. > :16:29.around 11 degrees towards the south but it will be colder than that

:16:30. > :16:34.across Northern Ireland in Scotland as well. Sunday we have low pressure

:16:35. > :16:37.with us so the unsettled theme continues, with a band of rain

:16:38. > :16:41.crossing west to east across England and Wales. Still some wet and windy

:16:42. > :16:45.weather across the north-east of Scotland, but elsewhere not a bad

:16:46. > :16:48.sort of day. There will be some drier and brighter weather, but it

:16:49. > :16:51.will feel pretty blustery and temperatures around seven to 11

:16:52. > :16:55.degrees or so. So it is looking pretty unsettled over the next few

:16:56. > :16:56.days. There will be some rain around, but also some brightness to

:16:57. > :17:09.be seen as well. Thank you. The papers. We will look

:17:10. > :17:19.at some of the front pages. The Daily Mail. Fly tipping. Britain is

:17:20. > :17:29.in the middle of a fly tipping plague. Cases have soared by 30%

:17:30. > :17:34.over the last three years. The Sun has put Bake-Off back in the

:17:35. > :17:46.headlights. A story about the former winner Nadiya, who will present a

:17:47. > :17:53.rival show on BBC called The Big Family Cooking Showdown. That is a

:17:54. > :17:58.rivalry with Channel 4. The Daily newspaper. A story about safety in

:17:59. > :18:06.hospitals. We were talking about it yesterday. A survey looking at how

:18:07. > :18:12.save hospitals are. The Times. Taxpayers funding Brussels' private

:18:13. > :18:17.army to protect MEPs as part of a 2 billion euros spending spree by the

:18:18. > :18:23.European Parliament. That is one I would like to be there for. I think

:18:24. > :18:29.he said he was too cold. I am sure he did. I think that is what he did

:18:30. > :18:45.say. -- tickled. He said everyday we should exercise our "chuckle

:18:46. > :18:48.muscle." Because of Sir Ken Doyle, I exercise my "chuckle muscle" every

:18:49. > :19:05.day. Mike Ashley, owner of Sports Direct, he is in the news. He is

:19:06. > :19:10.saying that the Agent Provocateur, and argues the accent, they have

:19:11. > :19:16.been bought by his company. -- and I use. There is controversy. The

:19:17. > :19:20.founder of it says it is a stitch up. They went on to administration.

:19:21. > :19:26.Normally when companies go into administration you hang around for a

:19:27. > :19:33.while to find a buyer. But it was all planned in advance, meaning some

:19:34. > :19:38.did not get the money they would if it had kept running. A bit of

:19:39. > :19:43.controversy to see if it is a good deal. You know how footballers have

:19:44. > :19:49.their numbers and names on the back. The Swedish FA have allowed the

:19:50. > :19:57.female teams to put motivational messages on their backs. Any

:19:58. > :20:16.examples? The number five player, Mrs Hernandez, says The Future is

:20:17. > :20:20.Female. And number 22 in the team, Olivia, says "everyone is battling a

:20:21. > :20:24.battle you don't know about." That would cost a fortune, a say in that

:20:25. > :20:33.long. Maybe we could do that. --A saying. You will talk athletics

:20:34. > :20:37.later on? Yes. Fascinating. The European indoors. And the two twins

:20:38. > :20:45.running for Britain. 6:20. Education leaders are warning that

:20:46. > :20:48.schools in england could be pushed to breaking point if a new formula

:20:49. > :20:52.for funding them goes ahead. In an interview with Breakfast,

:20:53. > :20:54.the Schools Minister, Nick Gibb, insists that funding

:20:55. > :20:57.overall is at an all-time high, but said thats schools would have

:20:58. > :21:06.to help reduce the deficit. What would be the first stage? In

:21:07. > :21:12.this maths class, a parent volunteer works out. Mrs Walsh, a growing

:21:13. > :21:19.number of those who give up their time to help fill gaps. Are you

:21:20. > :21:25.happy to do it? Yes. It is required. And that his financial help as well.

:21:26. > :21:30.Parents here pay a regular monthly ?5 sum to help make ends meet. Why

:21:31. > :21:36.should we have to ask them for morejust is not right. And I don't

:21:37. > :21:42.like doing it. Here, the head teacher is inviting us in to give an

:21:43. > :21:47.honest insight into why they have to ask. We will lose 8%. Rising costs

:21:48. > :21:52.means all schools will lose on average 8% in the next three years.

:21:53. > :21:56.But under the new system, just under half of schools, including this one,

:21:57. > :22:02.would gain on average 3%. That leaves a shortfall. And the school

:22:03. > :22:07.has already lost. Three years ago they were in the black. The next

:22:08. > :22:13.year they slipped into the red. And today? ?30,000 nearly. Yes. A

:22:14. > :22:19.deficit. It is already having a knock-on effect. Some of my children

:22:20. > :22:23.already they are struggling a bit and they have less help this year

:22:24. > :22:30.than last year. And that is the honest truth. All of those things I

:22:31. > :22:37.could shave, I have shaved. Still, we could not get to a balanced

:22:38. > :22:41.budget. It is an impossibility. In Poynton, a school that plans to lose

:22:42. > :22:46.with the current proposals. They have already lost 14 full-time

:22:47. > :22:51.positions, they say. This is a cliff edge. I have heard from other

:22:52. > :22:59.schools around the country they are making this unpalatable decision.

:23:00. > :23:03.They are stopping their curriculum. They are not going to run technology

:23:04. > :23:06.or art. These kinds of things will disappear from the curriculum. The

:23:07. > :23:10.Department for Education say they have protected schools until now,

:23:11. > :23:17.but now school cuts are inevitable. We have a much fairer system. It

:23:18. > :23:29.reflects the needs of the pupils at that school. But fair doesn't mean

:23:30. > :23:33.affordable. Fair doesn't mean schools will balance their books.

:23:34. > :23:37.School funding is as high as it has ever been. It does not cover

:23:38. > :23:41.increasing cost. We expect them to absorb those, because we all have to

:23:42. > :23:45.contribute to the task of delivering a reduction in the deficit. But

:23:46. > :23:51.overall school funding is at an all-time level of ?40 billion a

:23:52. > :23:59.year, and it will go to put a year as people numbers rise by 2019 and

:24:00. > :24:04.2020. But it isn't enough. As I said, it should be enough. Should be

:24:05. > :24:08.enough. Efficiencies, he believes, should still be found. An

:24:09. > :24:12.association of college leaders disagree. They say many schools will

:24:13. > :24:21.be pushed to breaking point under new proposals, which will come soon.

:24:22. > :24:25.Sarah McCubbin, BBC News. It's an antisocial act that normally

:24:26. > :24:28.goes under the radar, but many have long

:24:29. > :24:30.suspected the truth. People do wee

:24:31. > :24:32.in public pools. Yes, scientists who carried out

:24:33. > :24:34.random tests in Canada found So, is it something we sneakily do

:24:35. > :24:39.but would never admit to? We asked people in Manchester

:24:40. > :24:51.what they thought. Kids wee in pools. I think that is

:24:52. > :25:03.like a common thing. But it is a bit grim, really. It would put me off

:25:04. > :25:13.sending my children there. I think it is kind of yucky. I don't do it

:25:14. > :25:22.in a swimming pool. But I do it in the sea. In the sea, you are

:25:23. > :25:30.allowed. I would not want to swim in it, so I would not do it to someone

:25:31. > :25:36.else. No, definitely not. I always get out. And I don't let my children

:25:37. > :25:44.do it either. Never. Absolutely not. Never. LAUGHS. See clearly does.

:34:57. > :35:00.tennis. 20- 18 sounds a rugby score, but it was needed on a tie-break

:35:01. > :35:05.involving Andy Murray in Dubai. They have not been more points needed

:35:06. > :35:09.since 1991 to settle a tie-break. It was a landmark we will not forget in

:35:10. > :35:13.a hurry. At one point the umpire forgot to tell the players to change

:35:14. > :35:15.ends and a couple of points later Andy Murray said we not supposed to

:35:16. > :35:20.change ends? It was pandemonium. Andy Murray is through

:35:21. > :35:22.to the semi-finals of the Dubai Championships,

:35:23. > :35:25.but he had to save seven match points against Germany's

:35:26. > :35:26.Philipp Kohlschreiber. Murray had to win the second-set

:35:27. > :35:29.tie-break to force the match into a decider, and it took him over

:35:30. > :35:33.half an hour to do so. Saving those match points,

:35:34. > :35:35.he eventually won it 20-18, and afterwards said he had never

:35:36. > :35:38.played a tie-break like it. The deciding set was much

:35:39. > :35:40.more straightforward. Against a tiring Kohlschreiber,

:35:41. > :35:43.Murray lost just one game to secure his place in the next

:35:44. > :35:46.round, where he will play Lucas British Cycling has apologised

:39:11. > :39:12.by tomorrow afternoon. It is the second time in less

:39:13. > :39:16.than a year that people have gone Allison Morris is a columnist

:39:17. > :39:25.with the Irish News and joins us Good morning to you and thank you

:39:26. > :39:29.for your time this morning. Give us a sense of the appetite you think

:39:30. > :39:34.there was for this election. What do you think the turnout might have

:39:35. > :39:38.been? Well, early indications are that the turnout has been up which I

:39:39. > :39:42.think there was some fears that there would be voter apathy, given

:39:43. > :39:46.as you said we were at the polls eight months ago. This is a snap

:39:47. > :39:50.election which wasn't expected and therefore voter turnout was a bit of

:39:51. > :39:54.an unknown as to how people would react to it. Reports I was receiving

:39:55. > :39:58.last night from a lot of the ballots were that votes were definitely up

:39:59. > :40:01.in some areas. That will help me be the moderate parties, the opposition

:40:02. > :40:06.parties, but that remains to be seen. We have a single transferable

:40:07. > :40:10.vote system, a very lengthy system which requires a lot of counting but

:40:11. > :40:14.I would say that possibly today we will get an indication of the way

:40:15. > :40:19.things are going to go. It is fairly complex, and when you look ahead, if

:40:20. > :40:25.you would for us now, what are the possible results? What might happen

:40:26. > :40:28.as a result of this vote? OK, well I think most commentators are of the

:40:29. > :40:35.opinion that very little will change. We know that the DUP and

:40:36. > :40:39.Sinn Fein are likely to be the main parties with a lesser number of

:40:40. > :40:43.seats. We had 100 people elected during the last election and only 90

:40:44. > :40:48.during this one, meaning that all parties are expecting a drop in

:40:49. > :40:53.seats but if Sinn Fein and the DUP can hold their majorities, then we

:40:54. > :40:56.are in serious difficulty because this election was called because the

:40:57. > :41:00.relations between these parties broke down quite badly over a ?500

:41:01. > :41:04.million botched clean energy scheme that there are other issues as well

:41:05. > :41:08.on those issues are unlikely to be resolved within three weeks of

:41:09. > :41:12.talks, which is what we have. We have an election and as a result of

:41:13. > :41:17.that election we will know tomorrow morning. If that shows that we still

:41:18. > :41:21.have the DUP and Sinn Fein at the two main parties then we will have

:41:22. > :41:25.three weeks of talks, they have three weeks to government, and given

:41:26. > :41:30.the differences between the two and how nasty this election has been, if

:41:31. > :41:34.they will resolve those in three weeks -- if they cannot resolve

:41:35. > :41:37.these in three weeks, we are looking at another election, which is

:41:38. > :41:44.unlikely, or a period of correct rule. As we know, Theresa May has a

:41:45. > :41:50.lot on their mind, and might be unlikely to take on Northern Ireland

:41:51. > :41:53.met at this time. There is a generation in Northern Ireland who

:41:54. > :41:56.have grown up in a very different way, without the troubles of the

:41:57. > :42:03.past. Their concerns are the ordinary ones about jobs and what

:42:04. > :42:07.they have and what the country has to offer them. It feels a little bit

:42:08. > :42:12.as if this campaign has harked back to a different time. It has, it has

:42:13. > :42:16.been very sectarian. I have been a journalist was 17 or 18 years and I

:42:17. > :42:19.can remember the early elections right after the Good Friday

:42:20. > :42:23.Agreement when we would have had a lot of division, a lot of green and

:42:24. > :42:27.orange issues, mainly around the constitutional question. Whether or

:42:28. > :42:32.not we remain part of the UK or a united Ireland. That issue faded as

:42:33. > :42:36.time went on and as you said we had a generation who have absolutely no

:42:37. > :42:40.memory of the troubles whatsoever, and they want to know about

:42:41. > :42:44.university fees, about employment, they want to know about social

:42:45. > :42:47.issues such as same-sex marriage which has been repeatedly blocked in

:42:48. > :42:50.Northern Ireland, and also changes to the abortion legislation, which

:42:51. > :42:54.again we lag behind everyone else on. Those are the issues you will

:42:55. > :42:58.maybe see the progressive parties, people like Alliance or the Green

:42:59. > :43:02.party, whether that is enough to make any change to the dynamic of

:43:03. > :43:06.the assembly remains to be seen but we are saying is commentators that

:43:07. > :43:10.things are unlikely to change dramatically. As we know, journalist

:43:11. > :43:15.and pollsters have got it wrong in the past, especially in the last few

:43:16. > :43:19.years. There is no idea, because this is a totally unknown quantity.

:43:20. > :43:22.This election was called on one issue, botched energy scheme, so we

:43:23. > :43:26.have never had anything like this and there is no precedent for it.

:43:27. > :43:30.Nobody knows what the outcome is going to be. We are all saying there

:43:31. > :43:34.could be changed to the status quo, but maybe we will see a shock move

:43:35. > :43:38.towards the middle ground, and that is something I think we will all be

:43:39. > :43:49.keeping a keen eye on is the day goes on. Thank you much. Allison

:43:50. > :43:51.Morris is with the Irish News, and those results expected tomorrow

:43:52. > :43:55.afternoon, Saturday afternoon. Let's have a look at the weather. Has

:43:56. > :43:59.spring finally sprung? It certainly looks like it. Tell us where you

:44:00. > :44:07.are. Good morning to you. I am here on the Greenwich Peninsula at the

:44:08. > :44:10.NOW Gallery, amongst an art installation called the iris, it

:44:11. > :44:14.involves 10,000 individual fresh irises, which have been suspended

:44:15. > :44:18.from the ceiling, each one hung by hand by a little piece of copper

:44:19. > :44:22.wire. So it took the team here around five days to really create

:44:23. > :44:25.this installation. And at the moment they are very fresh, very colourful,

:44:26. > :44:29.and certainly very aromatic as well. I wish you could smell the smell in

:44:30. > :44:34.this room. It is very beautiful. They are going to be here until the

:44:35. > :44:38.seventh of May and I'm overtime that this part of deletion will really

:44:39. > :44:41.changed in the way it looks and feels. So the flowers are going to

:44:42. > :44:45.be left here to weather out, dry out, as well, and apparently they

:44:46. > :44:49.are still going to be very beautiful as time goes on. So we have got some

:44:50. > :44:53.lovely spring flowers here at the NOW Gallery. If you are hoping to

:44:54. > :44:56.head out and see some spring flowers today, the weather is looking pretty

:44:57. > :45:00.soggy and unsettled. Rain at times today and through because of the

:45:01. > :45:03.weekend as well. A few showers to the far north of Scotland, but much

:45:04. > :45:06.of northern and central Scotland start the day pretty frosty. But

:45:07. > :45:10.there will be some sunshine around. The southern half of will see more

:45:11. > :45:14.cloud, some rain and a bit of hill snow as well. Should be largely dry

:45:15. > :45:18.and bright towards the north-east of England but East Anglia and the

:45:19. > :45:22.south-east see that rain setting in. This is 9am this morning. Some heavy

:45:23. > :45:25.burst of rain and also some pretty strong and gusty winds particularly

:45:26. > :45:28.along the south coast. As we move towards the south-west of England

:45:29. > :45:31.and south Wales, some of that rain will be quite heavy at times. Again,

:45:32. > :45:36.combined with some strong and blustery winds. I think by 9am the

:45:37. > :45:39.north of Wales and in fact much of northern England will look

:45:40. > :45:43.predominantly dry. As we head crossed in Northern Ireland, there

:45:44. > :45:47.is a band of rain and even a bit of hill snow perhaps mixed in on the

:45:48. > :45:51.highest peaks as well. As we head through the course of the day, then,

:45:52. > :45:54.that rain across the southern half of the country pushes its way

:45:55. > :45:56.northwards. So wet weather pushing across much of northern England,

:45:57. > :46:00.certainly Northern Ireland as well. There will be some brighter weather

:46:01. > :46:02.heading into the south-east later on in the day, and actually essential

:46:03. > :46:05.and northern Scotland remaining drive much of the day. Contrasting

:46:06. > :46:10.temperatures, though. Only about five degrees in the north whereas

:46:11. > :46:14.further south it will be much milder, around about ten to 12

:46:15. > :46:17.Celsius. Into the evening and overnight, we keep that band of rain

:46:18. > :46:21.which continues to push northwards. So pretty soggy night to come across

:46:22. > :46:25.much of central Scotland, Northern Ireland as well. Northern Scotland

:46:26. > :46:29.remains largely dry, with a. It across much of England and Wales,

:46:30. > :46:32.still with a few showers. Temperatures here eight or nine

:46:33. > :46:35.degrees and certainly called where you have those clear skies across

:46:36. > :46:39.the North of Scotland. As we head through the day tomorrow is putting

:46:40. > :46:42.wet and windy across Northern Ireland, much of Scotland as well.

:46:43. > :46:45.Still some showers across in and Wales, put Italy around the east

:46:46. > :46:49.coast, but actually quite a good deal of dry, usable sort of weather

:46:50. > :46:53.as well with some sunshine, and temperatures generally around about

:46:54. > :46:56.ten or 11 degrees towards the south but it is looking a little bit

:46:57. > :47:00.colder further north. Now, though pressure stays with us as we had in

:47:01. > :47:04.through the second half of the weekend as well. For Sunday there

:47:05. > :47:07.will be a band of rain moving west to east across much of England and

:47:08. > :47:10.Wales. Quite windy and wait for the north-east of Scotland. Elsewhere

:47:11. > :47:14.there will be some sunshine on offer as well so all in all it is looking

:47:15. > :47:21.like a fairly changeable outlook over the next few days.

:47:22. > :47:24.The pub industry has been under financial pressure for a number

:47:25. > :47:27.of years, and pub landlords are now weighing down on the Chancellor.

:47:28. > :47:34.It is not the first time we have talked about problems for the pub

:47:35. > :47:36.industry. Many small businesses will see if Philip Hammond may actually

:47:37. > :47:44.make any tweaks to help them. According to the Campaign

:47:45. > :47:47.for Real Ale, over 20 of them The George and Dragon in Hudswell,

:47:48. > :47:53.North Yorkshire was one of those. It closed in 2008, but was brought

:47:54. > :47:56.back to life by its community, and has even added a shop

:47:57. > :47:59.and library to keep punters coming. Today, it'll be named

:48:00. > :48:10.Pub of the Year. We took over running the pub in

:48:11. > :48:17.July, 2014. The pub is the hub of the village. It is the centre. It is

:48:18. > :48:20.where everyone gets together. Most shareholders in the club, 205

:48:21. > :48:33.different shareholders currently, they are not be day-to-day drinkers

:48:34. > :48:38.used to get. We have diversified. We have to get the community on side.

:48:39. > :48:43.We have a little shop, allegedly the smallest in Yorkshire. This year we

:48:44. > :48:52.will be in a position where we will hopefully pay business rates more in

:48:53. > :48:54.line with what we can. We are probably in a better position this

:48:55. > :48:55.year than other sectors. But other pubs are facing

:48:56. > :48:59.some big challenges. A revaluation of business rates

:49:00. > :49:02.in England and Wales that comes into effect in April will affect

:49:03. > :49:04.many pubs and restaurants because they occupy prime real

:49:05. > :49:07.estate in town and city centres. Brigid Simmons is Chief Executive

:49:08. > :49:23.of the British Beer and Pub Good morning. Good morning. Business

:49:24. > :49:28.rates. We heard from that pub, a success story, they do not have to

:49:29. > :49:36.pay it. How much of an issue is this for pubs around the country? They

:49:37. > :49:42.are paying 2.4% of the total bill. This was a turnover tax rate to

:49:43. > :49:48.0.5%. Pubs are rated by turnover because you have a beer garden that

:49:49. > :49:53.you never use according to square footage. That means they are paying

:49:54. > :49:57.so much more. What we are seen to the Chancellor in this budget is you

:49:58. > :50:00.need to look at the business rate system. It needs a complete

:50:01. > :50:05.overhaul. We need to make sure that in a modern world everyone is paying

:50:06. > :50:10.their share. We care about the High Streets, I do lots of work there. By

:50:11. > :50:17.the risen a point to care about them if you tax them out of existence. --

:50:18. > :50:23.but there is a point where. It is punishing success. They revalued it.

:50:24. > :50:26.That is why many businesses are seeing changes. Many are seeing a

:50:27. > :50:32.fall in these business rates. That is true. The government has given

:50:33. > :50:38.support to reduce the small business rate. But I have got 2000 pubs that

:50:39. > :50:44.are paying a 40% increase. Is in a small increase for pubs means they

:50:45. > :50:48.will have to employ less staff, or really, not investing capital. And

:50:49. > :50:56.that is what increases your turnover. Is it as much of a squeeze

:50:57. > :51:00.as the campaign makes out? In the last year or so, there has been a

:51:01. > :51:10.renaissance. More pubs are opening up. Absolutely. We are opening up

:51:11. > :51:15.new paths. But we have the apprenticeship rates. Don't cut

:51:16. > :51:21.confidence by giving us a freeze. We need more help. We have enrolment in

:51:22. > :51:28.pensions automatically for small pubs. And we have inflation,

:51:29. > :51:32.especially with food. Pubs are hugely important. We serve 8 million

:51:33. > :51:36.meals a year. We want them to be enormously important. We want them

:51:37. > :51:41.to be a success. What we are saying to the government is please help us

:51:42. > :51:46.a little bit more. Thank you so much. That is an argument we see a

:51:47. > :51:54.lot these days. We will hear from the Chancellor what happens. I will

:51:55. > :51:55.have my business hat on to do all the coverage of that. OK.

:51:56. > :51:58.It's been documenting some of Great Britain's most important

:51:59. > :52:00.history for generations past and present, and this weekend,

:52:01. > :52:03.The Imperial War Museum celebrates its centenary year.

:52:04. > :52:06.A new exhibition looking at people who have struggled for peace over

:52:07. > :52:09.the last 100 years will mark the event, as our special

:52:10. > :52:10.correspondent Robert Hall can explain.

:52:11. > :52:13.He's live for us, just over the canal from our studios,

:52:14. > :52:24.That is the image, actually, from where we are, just across the water.

:52:25. > :52:29.Good morning, Robert. Good morning. Yeah, a big story to tell. In a way,

:52:30. > :52:35.the timeline of the Imperial War Museum is summed up in this display

:52:36. > :52:39.case. Here we have a group of items belonging to men who fought in the

:52:40. > :52:44.First World War. The stories of two men in the centre, one a bomber

:52:45. > :52:49.pilot, another eight minesweeper in the Second World War. --A. And then

:52:50. > :52:54.the Fusiliers who fought in the Iraq War at the end. Just a handful of

:52:55. > :53:05.stories among so many in so many places around the UK.

:53:06. > :53:07.It's one of the world's most famous institutions,

:53:08. > :53:09.aimed for school parties, historians, families,

:53:10. > :53:18.Conflict, shocks, and fascinators, this story began a few miles

:53:19. > :53:22.from here with a grand ceremony in a cathedral of glass.

:53:23. > :53:26.By the time George V open the Imperial War Museum in its first

:53:27. > :53:29.home at the ill-fated Crystal Palace, he already had

:53:30. > :53:32.The museum had begun collecting exhibits while the battle

:53:33. > :53:37.of the First World War was still raging.

:53:38. > :53:41.From the outset, the founders set out to involve the public.

:53:42. > :53:44.Appeals printed in ration books brought a flood

:53:45. > :53:50.The idea was initially that it was to be firstly a sort

:53:51. > :53:53.of memorial to the war, but primarily, it was to cover

:53:54. > :53:56.people's experiences in the war, and that meant it covered everybody

:53:57. > :53:58.from the front-line soldier to the munition factory worker

:53:59. > :54:05.The best way to illustrate how the Imperial War Museums have

:54:06. > :54:08.changed since the first collection was put together a century ago

:54:09. > :54:13.There are 155,000 exhibits, those are the larger items either

:54:14. > :54:17.on display or held in store, but there are well over 33 million

:54:18. > :54:19.documents, photographs and recordings, all of them helping

:54:20. > :54:25.to tell the stories around those exhibits.

:54:26. > :54:38.Now 91, she typed the plans for D-Day here in Winston Churchill's

:54:39. > :54:48.bunker, and she shook hands with world leaders

:54:49. > :54:50.at the conference which debated the post-war future of Europe.

:54:51. > :54:55.And now that they are working like this one works,

:54:56. > :54:58.for instance, where everything is active and you can open doors

:54:59. > :55:01.and, you know, drop down mines and whatever you do,

:55:02. > :55:05.the whole place was abuzz when I came in.

:55:06. > :55:08.But reflecting the sad procession of conflicts still erupting around

:55:09. > :55:10.the globe and connecting with today's young people

:55:11. > :55:15.The images of war and conflict that children see on Hollywood movies

:55:16. > :55:21.or video games are very unusual in that, you know,

:55:22. > :55:24.they'll have bespoke knowledge of all these individual weapons

:55:25. > :55:28.systems, they will think people can jump from a tank to a plane

:55:29. > :55:33.to an infantry officer, and there is no understanding

:55:34. > :55:37.In Salford, every day brings a chance to reflect

:55:38. > :55:42.Once an hour, the museum is filled with the faces and voices of those

:55:43. > :55:45.lived through an experience we can only share at a distance.

:55:46. > :55:56.The story which began a century ago has no ending.

:55:57. > :56:04.And we stay with those personal stories. This is not just a tank, it

:56:05. > :56:10.is called the T34. And I suppose in a way it liberated people. It went

:56:11. > :56:14.into service in the 1940s. It helped to push the German army back. In

:56:15. > :56:19.fact, it fought on into the terrible conflict in Bosnia in the 1990s. A

:56:20. > :56:24.weird looking vehicle over here from Zimbabwe in Africa designed to

:56:25. > :56:30.reflect the force of mines. And they are another subject which caused

:56:31. > :56:34.enormous civilian deaths and impact on civilian populations. It is not

:56:35. > :56:40.just about soldiers and armies. And this is a symbol of liberation in

:56:41. > :56:46.Berlin. More later on. But for now, back to the studio. Thank you very

:56:47. > :00:12.much. Looks like some great stuff to see there. It is time to

:00:18. > :00:21.The health regulator says companies may not be prescribing the right

:00:22. > :00:23.drugs, carrying out thorough checks, or have clinicians

:00:24. > :00:44.Also this morning: 13-month-old Poppi Worthington died in 2012.

:00:45. > :00:46.Today, a damning report into the investigation

:00:47. > :00:56.by Cumbria Police says they were unstructured and disorganised.

:00:57. > :00:59.Nearly 18 months on, a final report into the Shoreham Airshow disaster,

:01:00. > :01:02.where 11 people died, will be published today.

:01:03. > :01:04.The number of workers with controversial zero-hours

:01:05. > :01:09.I will have more shortly on why it has grown so quickly.

:01:10. > :01:11.In sport: Murray's marathon tie-break in the desert.

:01:12. > :01:14.It was 31 minutes before the world number one eventually won

:01:15. > :01:17.the tie-break, and then the match, at the Dubai Championship

:01:18. > :01:27.And Sarah has the weather from Greenwich for us this morning.

:01:28. > :01:35.Good morning to you. It is a bit of a soggy, grey day outside but I am

:01:36. > :01:39.inside the NOW Gallery and I am standing among 10,000 fresh irises

:01:40. > :01:45.here. We will look at these flowers a bit more through the morning and I

:01:46. > :01:47.will have a full forecast for you in about 15 minutes.

:01:48. > :01:50.Patients could be at risk of harm when buying medication

:01:51. > :01:53.That is the warning from the Care Quality Commission.

:01:54. > :01:56.It comes after an investigation found firms may be prescribing

:01:57. > :01:57.unsuitable medication, failing to carry out thorough

:01:58. > :01:59.medical history checks, or employing clinicians

:02:00. > :02:03.The healthcare watchdog has for the first time published a set

:02:04. > :02:06.of guidelines for online companies offering doctor services in England.

:02:07. > :02:16.More than 40 companies offer online prescriptions in England,

:02:17. > :02:19.but today the CQC says they could be putting patients at risk.

:02:20. > :02:22.Dan is about to run out of his medicine.

:02:23. > :02:33.It suspended the registration of this online company back

:02:34. > :02:36.in December, partially as a result of a BBC investigation

:02:37. > :02:38.which looked at its sale of antibiotics.

:02:39. > :02:40.The company said it has made many changes to its processes

:02:41. > :02:43.and systems, that will eventually satisfy the regulators.

:02:44. > :02:48.But the CQC is worried more widely about the safety of online services.

:02:49. > :02:51.They say there is a risk of people being prescribed unsuitable

:02:52. > :02:54.medication, the treatment causing complications to existing health

:02:55. > :03:00.conditions, and a lack of monitoring of follow-ups for patients.

:03:01. > :03:05.We have now looked at 11 providers, two of which have been published

:03:06. > :03:13.today, and we are quite shocked about what we have found.

:03:14. > :03:16.And indeed, in those other providers, we've also found some

:03:17. > :03:18.really serious problems, and those reports will be published

:03:19. > :03:23.For the first time, the CQC has published a clear set of standards

:03:24. > :03:27.They must verify patients match their photo ID,

:03:38. > :03:42.There will be a thorough inspection of all companies by the end

:03:43. > :03:46.of the year, but in the meantime, the official advice is to be very

:03:53. > :03:54.We will speak to GP and broadcaster Dr Faye Kirkland

:03:55. > :03:57.about what she found when she bought prescription medicine online.

:03:58. > :04:04.The police watchdog has published a critical report into how

:04:08. > :04:10.The toddler was found seriously injured at her home.

:04:11. > :04:12.The Independent Police Complaints Commission says officers failed

:04:13. > :04:15.to adequately investigate whether she had been abused.

:04:16. > :04:17.Cumbria Police says it accepts the report's criticism unreservedly.

:04:18. > :04:19.Chief Constable Jeremy Graham of Cumbria Constabulary apologised

:04:20. > :04:31.I am very clear that the initial investigation into Poppi

:04:32. > :04:36.Worthington's death fell well short of what Poppi's family could have

:04:37. > :04:38.expected, and indeed should have expected,

:04:39. > :04:42.and I would like to give a heartfelt apology to Poppi's family

:04:43. > :04:44.for the inadequacies in Cumbria Constabulary's initial

:04:45. > :04:54.The US Attorney General is removing himself from an FBI investigation

:04:57. > :04:58.Jeff Sessions has been under pressure to stand aside,

:04:59. > :05:01.after it emerged he met the Russian ambassador during the course

:05:02. > :05:05.President Trump insisted that Mr Sessions is an honest man,

:05:06. > :05:08.but said he could have been more accurate when questioned

:05:09. > :05:17.about his meetings with Russian diplomats.

:05:18. > :05:19.Air accident investigators are publishing their final report

:05:20. > :05:23.11 people died when a vintage jet performing a loop stunt crashed

:05:24. > :05:28.The report will not apportion blame, but will look at the cause

:05:29. > :05:38.of the crash and make safety recommendations.

:05:39. > :05:45.This was the Hawker Hunter jet at the centre of the Shoreham air

:05:46. > :05:48.crash, a key attraction at the show over the Sussex seaside town.

:05:49. > :05:53.But during one acrobatic manoeuvre this happened.

:05:54. > :05:56.The jet crashed by the A27, that ran alongside the Showground.

:05:57. > :06:06.It was the worst airshow accident in Britain in more than 60 years.

:06:07. > :06:09.Among those who died were two friends, Matthew Grimstone

:06:10. > :06:12.and Jacob Schilt, both 23, and both players for Worthing United Football

:06:13. > :06:16.The club vice-chairman, Mark Sanderson, says the disaster

:06:17. > :06:21.continues to haunt all of those who knew the young men.

:06:22. > :06:30.So they'll always be remembered by us as great footballers,

:06:31. > :06:32.you know, first of all they were superb players,

:06:43. > :06:45.He is now the subject of a police investigation

:06:46. > :06:51.Accident investigators had already published a number

:06:52. > :06:58.They said the jet was working normally, and that the show's

:06:59. > :07:01.organisers had not been aware of what Mr Hill intended to do

:07:02. > :07:10.The Civil Aviation Authority, which governs safety at Britain's

:07:11. > :07:12.air displays, has already brought in a number

:07:13. > :07:14.of changes following the Shoreham air crash.

:07:15. > :07:17.It has increased the distance between the display and the crowds

:07:18. > :07:20.watching below, and also requires pilots to be better qualified before

:07:21. > :07:23.carrying out these acrobatic manoeuvres.

:07:24. > :07:26.Today's final report on the crash should answer both

:07:27. > :07:31.the what and the why this accident happened.

:07:32. > :07:34.One key aim will also be to give the victims' families a full,

:07:35. > :07:42.final measure of understanding about the way loved ones died.

:07:43. > :07:45.Theresa May will make it clear that keeping Scotland in the UK

:07:46. > :07:48.is a personal priority, when she addresses the Scottish

:07:49. > :07:49.Conservative Party conference later today.

:07:50. > :07:52.She will attempt to defuse calls for another referendum on independence.

:07:53. > :07:55.Let's get more detail now from our Scotland correspondent

:07:56. > :08:05.Lorna Gordon, who is in Glasgow for us this morning.

:08:06. > :08:12.Good morning to you. Yes, good morning. I think it is an important

:08:13. > :08:17.speech. There has been ramping up of the rhetoric on both sides this past

:08:18. > :08:20.week. Theresa May will say that as Prime Minister it is just as much

:08:21. > :08:24.priority that a young person in Dundee has as many opportunities to

:08:25. > :08:28.fulfil their potential as a young person in Doncaster, and she will

:08:42. > :08:46.The SNP for their part would reject those accusations. All this has come

:08:52. > :08:54.differently and voted to stay in the United Kingdom, and people here

:09:10. > :09:14.ahead of the formal triggering, which is expected to take place

:09:15. > :09:20.later this month. Nicola Sturgeon says a second referendum is, she

:09:21. > :09:23.believes, all but inevitable. In a BBC interview yesterday, Theresa May

:09:24. > :09:27.wouldn't be drawn on the issue of whether she would grant permission

:09:53. > :09:55.contracts has reached a record high, according to figures

:09:56. > :09:57.from the Resolution Foundation. Sean is here to explain

:09:58. > :10:06.what is going on. Yes, a pretty quick rise if you

:10:07. > :10:12.compare where we were at ten years ago or even three years ago. 910,000

:10:13. > :10:17.people now on these contracts. In 2005 there were about 100,000, that

:10:18. > :10:20.is how much of an increase we have seen but what the Resolution

:10:21. > :10:24.Foundation have done is when you drill down into the figures you see

:10:25. > :10:28.at the end of the last half of last year that growth has slowed a lot so

:10:29. > :10:32.something has happened. We have seen very quick growth for the last few

:10:33. > :10:35.years. Now, a few things might have happened there. One is that the

:10:36. > :10:38.employment rate in the UK is pretty high, record highs, all time.

:10:39. > :10:42.Workers might have a little bit more of a bargaining chip when it comes

:10:43. > :10:45.to these contracts, because they are controversial contracts. They are

:10:46. > :10:49.ones where you have a deal with the company that you work whenever they

:10:50. > :10:54.want you to work but no guarantee of hours. The other thing, because of a

:10:55. > :10:58.controversy, it has not been great headlines for a lot of businesses

:10:59. > :11:00.and so some companies are trying to move away from these contracts and

:11:01. > :11:01.give some workers guaranteed hours. Counting will get under

:11:46. > :11:46.of the main news stories this morning.

:11:47. > :11:49.Education leaders are warning that schools in England could be pushed

:11:50. > :11:52.to breaking point if a new funding formula goes ahead.

:11:53. > :11:54.In an interview with Breakfast, the Schools Minister,

:11:55. > :11:56.Nick Gibb, insists that spending is at an all-time high,

:11:57. > :11:59.but said that schools would have to help reduce the deficit.

:12:00. > :12:03.Jayne, many parents watching will have received letters

:12:04. > :12:05.from their children's schools about these proposed

:12:06. > :12:18.This is a tricky time for schools. Lots of those letters going out

:12:19. > :12:22.because the consultation over the changes to funding is happening

:12:23. > :12:26.right now. What we are talking about is to make things. The sum of money

:12:27. > :12:30.the government spends on education, but also how that sum of money is

:12:31. > :12:34.shared out. Right now what happens is that decisions on how it is

:12:35. > :12:36.shared out to children, those decisions are made by hundreds of

:12:37. > :12:40.different education authorities all over England, and the government

:12:41. > :12:44.says that that is not fair, because it leads to lots of different

:12:45. > :12:50.decisions. For example, they say a child in Cornwall might receive

:12:51. > :12:53.funds of just over ?3000 a year. However, a child with exactly the

:12:54. > :12:57.same educational needs Vaughan in Devon might receive just under

:12:58. > :13:02.?5,000. They say this isn't unfair as to what they want to do with

:13:03. > :13:04.this. They want to centrally set a figure themselves for children all

:13:05. > :13:09.across the country, and then the government wants to then set extra,

:13:10. > :13:14.additional figures to help combat things like deprivation, to help in

:13:15. > :13:17.schools where there are lots of children speaking English as a

:13:18. > :13:25.second language, and also they say that this will represent a fairer

:13:26. > :13:27.share of the pie for all but what critics say is that the pie just

:13:28. > :13:31.isn't big enough. What would be the first

:13:32. > :13:35.stage of that one? In this maths class in Wokingham,

:13:36. > :13:40.a parent volunteer helps out. Mrs Walsh, one of a growing number

:13:41. > :13:44.of those who give up their time There's a lot more

:13:45. > :13:52.required these days. Parents here pay a regular monthly

:13:53. > :13:58.?5 sum to help make ends meet. Why should we have

:13:59. > :14:02.to ask them for more? That just isn't right,

:14:03. > :14:08.and I don't like doing it. Here, the head teacher is inviting

:14:09. > :14:12.us in to give us a very honest insight

:14:13. > :14:14.into why they have to ask. Rising costs means all schools

:14:15. > :14:17.will lose on average 8% But under the new system,

:14:18. > :14:22.just under half of schools, including this one,

:14:23. > :14:24.would gain on average 3%. Three years ago,

:14:25. > :14:35.they were in the black. The next year they

:14:36. > :14:37.slipped into the red. It is already having

:14:38. > :14:49.a knock-on effect. Some of my children,

:14:50. > :14:51.already they are struggling a bit, and they have less help this

:14:52. > :14:54.year than last year. All of those things that

:14:55. > :14:58.I could shave, I have shaved. And still, we cannot get

:14:59. > :15:01.to a balanced budget. In Poynton, a school which stands

:15:02. > :15:11.to lose under current proposals, and they say the have already lost

:15:12. > :15:14.14 full-time positions. And I hear from other schools around

:15:15. > :15:21.the country they are having They're not going to

:15:22. > :15:34.run technology or art. These kinds of things will just

:15:35. > :15:36.disappear from the curriculum. The Department for Education say

:15:37. > :15:39.they have protected schools until now, but now school

:15:40. > :15:49.cuts are inevitable. We're introducing a much fairer

:15:50. > :15:52.system, where funding goes to schools, and it

:15:53. > :15:54.reflects the needs Fair doesn't mean schools

:15:55. > :15:59.will balance their books. School funding is as high

:16:00. > :16:10.as it has ever been. But that is not enough to cover

:16:11. > :16:12.those increased costs. We expect them to absorb those,

:16:13. > :16:16.because we all have to contribute to the task of delivering

:16:17. > :16:18.a reduction in the deficit. But overall school funding

:16:19. > :16:26.is at an all-time level of ?40 billion a year, and it will go

:16:27. > :16:30.to ?42 billion year as pupil numbers rise

:16:31. > :16:31.by 2019 and 2020. Efficiencies, he believes,

:16:32. > :16:37.should still be found. The Association of School

:16:38. > :16:39.and College Leaders disagree. They say many schools will be pushed

:16:40. > :16:47.to breaking point under new proposals, consultation

:16:48. > :17:03.for which ends on the 22nd. Yes, they say they have the maths

:17:04. > :17:10.wrong. They say it is just too small. If this goes ahead, schools

:17:11. > :17:14.will have to plunder the cash set aside for special education needs.

:17:15. > :17:19.They will have to take money out of their to prop up the basic running

:17:20. > :17:27.of the school. The minister said nothing is set in stone. Now is the

:17:28. > :17:31.time to raise these concerns. In Scotland and Wales, the system is

:17:32. > :17:34.similar to here. Funding is distributed by authorities. What is

:17:35. > :17:39.interesting is that Scotland are having a review right now. They want

:17:40. > :17:42.to give much more control to schools to make up their minds about how

:17:43. > :17:49.funding is shared out and distributed either themselves. Here,

:17:50. > :17:58.the consultation ends on the 22nd. Jane McCubbin, thank you.

:17:59. > :18:01.Sarah is out and about with the weather for us this morning

:18:02. > :18:03.in search of the first flowers of spring.

:18:04. > :18:09.A beautiful art installation. Good morning. Good morning. It is

:18:10. > :18:18.beautiful and the smell is amazing. I am in a sea of floating irises. It

:18:19. > :18:22.is the Greenwich Peninsula. This is a well-known artist who is known for

:18:23. > :18:29.using flowers in her sculptural work. If you want to get out and

:18:30. > :18:33.about and see those flowers today, it is a fairly mixed forecast. Rain

:18:34. > :18:37.around not just through today but the weekend as well. Starting with

:18:38. > :18:42.the weather in the north this morning. Northern Scotland, a few

:18:43. > :18:45.showers. Clear and chilly in northern and central Scotland with

:18:46. > :18:49.light rain and hill snow towards the south of Scotland. The north-east of

:18:50. > :18:53.England looks predominantly dry at nine o'clock this morning. As we go

:18:54. > :18:59.further south, outbreaks of rain in East Anglia and the south-east. The

:19:00. > :19:06.wind is also a feature. Gusty winds in the south coast. Further west,

:19:07. > :19:09.outbreaks over into the morning in Devon, Cornwall, into central and

:19:10. > :19:13.southern parts of Wales as well. The north of Wales and northern England,

:19:14. > :19:19.starting the day largely dry. Northern Ireland, outbreaks of rain

:19:20. > :19:25.and it will be with hill snow as well mixed in. After the soggy start

:19:26. > :19:30.to the day in Northern Ireland, the wind will is. Rain pushing in from

:19:31. > :19:34.the south. The rain in the south of the country goes north. By

:19:35. > :19:38.lunchtime, we will see wet weather in much of northern England. Wet and

:19:39. > :19:42.windy here as well. Brighter weather returning to the south-east of

:19:43. > :19:48.England as well as we had to the afternoon. A contrasting

:19:49. > :19:54.temperatures in the south but in the north temperatures are only 5-6.

:19:55. > :19:58.This evening and overnight. We still have a band of rain affecting much

:19:59. > :20:02.of northern England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, where it will be

:20:03. > :20:07.windy, and hill snow in the north as well. Further south in England and

:20:08. > :20:13.Wales, drying out. A few showers. Temperatures overnight, 8-9 and

:20:14. > :20:17.mild. 3-4 in parts of Scotland where there will be frosty conditions in

:20:18. > :20:20.the north. Saturday morning will continue to see rain and some strong

:20:21. > :20:29.winds affecting much of Scotland, Northern Ireland, with England and

:20:30. > :20:33.Wales seeing a more dry day. Scattered showers, especially in the

:20:34. > :20:38.east coast. Further south, 10- 11 degrees. The unsettled theme

:20:39. > :20:42.continues with us on into Sunday as well with low pressure bringing rain

:20:52. > :20:58.the cards elsewhere. Feeling quite chilly in the breeze. All in all, a

:20:59. > :21:03.pretty changeable outlook. Back to both of you. We will have a better

:21:04. > :21:09.look like on. It looks beautiful. And we will go outside and she will

:21:10. > :21:16.go to the roof. OK now. Websites that sell prescription

:21:17. > :21:18.medicines can seem a tempting alternative to visiting a GP,

:21:19. > :21:21.especially if you're having problems getting a suitable

:21:22. > :21:22.doctor's appointment. But there's a warning these on line

:21:23. > :21:25.services are putting That's according to the health

:21:26. > :21:28.regulator in England, Dr Faye Kirkland a GP

:21:29. > :21:32.and broadcaster will join us First let's see her

:21:33. > :21:47.investigation into these sites. 283 different drugs available for 77

:21:48. > :21:52.medical problems. No examination is needed. Just an on line form

:21:53. > :21:57.reviewed by one of the doctors and prescription medication delivered to

:21:58. > :22:01.your door with in 24 hours. What the site does not tell you is that this

:22:02. > :22:05.company was suspended by the CQC in December last year. Their

:22:06. > :22:10.headquarters are behind me in Bolton. Last year, as part of their

:22:11. > :22:15.investigation, we went on their website and ordered antibiotics. We

:22:16. > :22:19.posed as a man and said we had ear pain for just a couple of days.

:22:20. > :22:23.Halfway through the form they started asking us questions about

:22:24. > :22:27.being a woman. Now, this raises significant problems about identity

:22:28. > :22:32.checks. Then they sent this medication through the post to treat

:22:33. > :22:37.the ear pain. As a GP, I can tell you I have never given it for this

:22:38. > :22:40.addition, as it simply would not work. It would kill the bugs that

:22:41. > :22:45.typically caused ear infections. This is worried the CQC, the

:22:46. > :22:53.watchdog for on line describing services. They contacted the

:22:54. > :22:59.business, and another on line provider, MD Direct. The report

:23:00. > :23:04.today highlights problems with both, as you can see here. They told us

:23:05. > :23:10.they are now working to improve their processes. The error with the

:23:11. > :23:15.medication we received was due to a system glitch. Following this, MD

:23:16. > :23:20.Direct cancelled its registration. The Care Quality Commission has

:23:21. > :23:25.looked at a quarter of these in England. We have looked at 11 of

:23:26. > :23:28.these providers. The first two reports will be published today and

:23:29. > :23:31.they are shocking. I really understand the difficulties the

:23:32. > :23:36.public have because the websites look incredibly professional. But

:23:37. > :23:39.the registration with the Care Quality Commission is really

:23:40. > :23:45.important. And we are now inspecting all of those suspect sites. And

:23:46. > :23:50.there is another concern. The sale of antibiotics on these sites. As

:23:51. > :23:54.bacteria becomes resistant, this becomes an effective. This is a

:23:55. > :23:59.worry to this person, who led the review into how antibiotics should

:24:00. > :24:04.be used when and how. We need to stop using them as sweet. We need to

:24:05. > :24:09.be more tough and disciplined about how they are used. Our review shows

:24:10. > :24:12.that if you carry on in the same path around the world, in 30 years,

:24:13. > :24:16.10 million people will be ill or dying. This is one of many steps

:24:17. > :24:21.that are needed. I really welcome what you have done. For the first

:24:22. > :24:25.time, the CQC has published a clear set of standards for these on line

:24:26. > :24:31.providers to be for example, they must verify patients match their

:24:32. > :24:41.idea. They must get a comprehensive medical history and seek permission

:24:42. > :24:45.with the GDP. -- ID. -- GP. The CQC will have looked at all of them by

:24:46. > :24:50.the end of this year. But until then, the message is clear. It is

:24:51. > :24:52.better to buy with caution. That was GP and broadcaster,

:24:53. > :25:02.Dr Faye Kirkland reporting. You can understand why people buy on

:25:03. > :25:07.line. It is easy. But it is easy to make mistakes and get duped into

:25:08. > :25:11.buying things that are offer you. What is happening with this? There

:25:12. > :25:15.is no accurate number of people who are using these sites. One of the on

:25:16. > :25:21.line sites had 3000 people suspected to be using the website in the last

:25:22. > :25:24.12 months. That is a lot of patients because there is only one doctor

:25:25. > :25:30.prescribing for that site. Across the whole of the UK, no one really

:25:31. > :25:34.knows. You are a GP. That is your day job. When you see someone you

:25:35. > :25:39.obviously have a dialogue. You have a history and you chat with them.

:25:40. > :25:49.Talk is about the risks attached with separating out this racist. He

:25:50. > :25:55.could -- process. He could accidentally give something that

:25:56. > :26:01.would interact with normal drugs. That could be serious and fatal. If

:26:02. > :26:06.you go back multiple times, the sites pick that up. One gave

:26:07. > :26:10.repeated prescriptions for urine infection. That could be a sign of

:26:11. > :26:15.something like cancer, but the website would not pick that up. Is

:26:16. > :26:19.there any advice you have for people in terms of what they should do if

:26:20. > :26:23.they are struggling to get an appointment with their GP and they

:26:24. > :26:26.are doing a bit of research on line? The Care Quality Commission today

:26:27. > :26:31.has released guidance. They say look at whether the website is

:26:32. > :26:36.registered, is it in the UK, if it is in England, and if they are, are

:26:37. > :26:39.they registered with the Care Quality Commission? You can do a

:26:40. > :26:44.check with a General Medical Council. And you have to be asked

:26:45. > :26:49.for ID. That is really important. Thank you for your time this

:34:21. > :34:26.it finishes six in games and it is a in points. And every other point is

:34:38. > :34:42.1991 have they needed more points to settle a tie-break and it lasted

:34:43. > :34:48.half an hour. Half an hour, a tie-break! At one point the judge or

:34:49. > :34:50.official forgot to get the players to change ends because it was so

:34:51. > :34:51.tense. Andy Murray is through

:34:52. > :34:53.to the semi-finals of the Dubai Championships,

:34:54. > :34:56.but he had to save seven match points against Germany's

:34:57. > :34:57.Philipp Kohlschreiber. Murray had to win the second-set

:34:58. > :35:00.tie-break to force the match into a decider, and it took him over

:35:01. > :35:04.half an hour to do so. Saving those match points,

:35:05. > :35:06.he eventually won it 20-18, and afterwards said he had never

:35:07. > :35:09.played a tie-break like it. The deciding set was much

:35:10. > :35:11.more straightforward. Against a tiring Kohlschreiber,

:35:53. > :35:55.and where those gaps have affected There was a great result

:35:56. > :36:10.for Castleford Tigers in rugby There were hat-tricks for wingers

:36:11. > :36:16.Greg Eden and Greg Minikin, but it was the former 'Man of Steel'

:37:07. > :37:09.series, as England build up to hosting the Champions

:37:10. > :37:16.Trophy this summer. We do have one eye

:37:17. > :37:19.on the Champions Trophy, obviously getting a reasonable squad

:37:20. > :37:21.together before then, and an idea of nailing

:37:22. > :37:23.down our team. You know, we only have one more -

:37:24. > :37:26.sorry, two more series, one against Ireland and one

:37:27. > :37:29.in South Africa, before And it is important to get the guys

:37:30. > :37:34.that we feel who are going to be playing a part in the

:37:35. > :37:43.Champions Trophy here. The European Indoor Championships

:37:44. > :37:45.get under way later this morning in Serbia, and there are plenty

:37:46. > :37:48.of British hopefuls, with their eyes firmly

:37:49. > :37:50.trained on winning medals. Paula Radcliffe and Colin Jackson

:37:51. > :37:53.are no stranger to athletic triumphs They are hosting live

:37:54. > :37:57.coverage of the competition, and they are with us from Belgrade

:37:58. > :38:13.to talk through which athletes Great to see you both, thank you for

:38:14. > :38:17.joining us. Starting with you, Paul. One of the first athlete in action

:38:18. > :38:26.this morning is one of Britain's main hopes, the lovely story of

:38:27. > :38:31.Laura Muir, who juggles training with treating animals as a vet. And

:38:32. > :38:34.she juggles it very well and is coming into these championships

:38:35. > :38:37.looking to take a big step up. I think Laura needs to come away from

:38:38. > :38:43.here with two medals, preferably with two gold medals, she is very

:38:44. > :38:46.capable of it and that will give her confidence a huge boost going into

:38:47. > :38:49.the World Championships in the summer. Colin, turning to you, what

:38:50. > :38:53.is different about competing indoors? Is the noise and atmosphere

:38:54. > :38:58.more intense and special, do you think? It is very unique running

:38:59. > :39:01.indoors. I think the fact that crowded so very close to you, it's

:39:02. > :39:05.Spurs you want and that really magical way. You really feel like

:39:06. > :39:08.you are performing for an audience and I think that's why many of the

:39:09. > :39:11.athletes really enjoy coming indoors, and hence we sometimes have

:39:12. > :39:15.indoor specialists because they enjoy the environment so much.

:39:16. > :39:23.Another one with high hopes you will be watching his and drew Potse, in

:39:24. > :39:28.the hurdles. Yes, Andrew is very special indeed. He is the world

:39:29. > :39:33.leader with 7.43, just ahead of his major rival in Europe but it will be

:39:34. > :39:37.a good race for him. It has been a long time, he has been trying to

:39:38. > :39:41.deal with so many injuries, and is only a young athlete so you can

:39:42. > :39:45.imagine he still has a bright future and this is his real opportunity to

:39:46. > :39:51.step up and win a major title. What other names might we be looking out

:39:52. > :39:54.for? The great thing about these championships is there are always

:39:55. > :40:00.some at wits under the radar who come to the fore. We have the likes

:40:01. > :40:03.of young Nelson who is going to start the 400m really taking a big

:40:04. > :40:11.step forward already this evening, and can on that hugely here.

:40:12. > :40:15.Unfortunately her sister Lena not able to take part, with an injury.

:40:16. > :40:20.We have young Kyle Langford going in the 800 metre heats, Austin Clarke

:40:21. > :40:28.in the women's heats, and backing up Laura Muir, who is doubling up, she

:40:29. > :40:34.has to run heats of the 3,000m this morning and 4.5 hours later comeback

:40:35. > :40:38.for a 1500 meet where she goes with Sarah McDonald, hoping to qualify

:40:39. > :40:44.for the 1500 metre final, so a tough day for her, she has Eilish McColgan

:40:45. > :40:49.for company in the 3000 metre heats this morning. Give us a sense about

:40:50. > :40:53.the whole build-up, the way athletics works. We have the indoor

:40:54. > :40:57.Championships coming up, the World Championships, and then the next

:40:58. > :41:02.Olympics further ahead. Where are they in their cycle right now, the

:41:03. > :41:06.athletes? Yes, it is an interesting question. Many people may use the

:41:07. > :41:11.indoors just as preparation for the outdoors and some people will use it

:41:12. > :41:14.more as a specialist where they can perform and win major medals so

:41:15. > :41:18.depending on where you are in your preparations and where your mindset

:41:19. > :41:22.is and where you really feel like your goals are going to be set, as

:41:23. > :41:31.you know, many of the top sprinters in the world, for example, never run

:41:32. > :41:35.indoors. I don't think you ever see Usain Bolt run indoors, he focuses

:41:36. > :41:39.on the outdoor season. I am not sure he would do a bad job indoors, but

:41:40. > :41:44.he chooses to focus on the outdoors. It is all about how they choose to

:41:45. > :41:45.prepare and move forward. We look forward to further coverage later on

:41:46. > :41:47.this morning with you guys. Live coverage of the European Indoor

:41:48. > :41:50.Championships starts in about half an hour over on BBC Two,

:41:51. > :41:52.and you can catch up on all the weekend's action

:41:53. > :42:03.on the BBC Sport website. One name sadly missing, the Nielsen

:42:04. > :42:07.twins, they are competing in the same event, the 400m, but overnight

:42:08. > :42:11.they have had to withdraw with an injury. We will have to wait for

:42:12. > :42:15.them to perform together. There was a potential they would run the

:42:16. > :42:20.relay. May be indifferent heats, the 400m, competing against each other,

:42:21. > :42:21.potentially. Not that it's all in the papers, but unfortunately they

:42:22. > :42:23.are missing. You are watching

:42:24. > :42:25.Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:42:26. > :42:28.Patients could be at risk of harm when buying medication

:42:29. > :42:30.on the internet. That is the warning

:42:31. > :42:32.from the healthcare watchdog, A report into the death

:42:33. > :42:36.of 13-month-old Poppi Worthington has said the investigation

:42:37. > :42:38.by Cumbria Police was not Sarah is out and about with

:42:39. > :42:56.the weather for us this morning. She has moved from the indoors of

:42:57. > :43:01.the Art Gallery to the outside. What a great view of Canary Wharf and the

:43:02. > :43:06.Millennium building. A bit of a soggy view this morning. Grey skies

:43:07. > :43:15.above the London skyline, and I am on the roof of the the NOW Gallery

:43:16. > :43:18.on the Greenwich peninsula. And we have some beautiful suspended irises

:43:19. > :43:22.hanging from the ceiling, but upon the roof it is not feeling too

:43:23. > :43:25.springlike this morning. We have a lot of clout around, outbreaks of

:43:26. > :43:29.drizzly rain and a similar picture across many parts of the country. We

:43:30. > :43:32.have rain around today and through the course of the weekend. If we

:43:33. > :43:37.take a look at this morning's weather, at 9am a few showers in the

:43:38. > :43:41.far north of Scotland but for northern End Central Scotland a

:43:42. > :43:44.clear and frosty start to the warning. Light rain for the

:43:45. > :43:48.south-west of Scotland, some hill snow as well but the north-east of

:43:49. > :43:51.England mostly dry. Heading down to East Anglia and the south-east,

:43:52. > :43:54.outbreaks of rain on and off through the morning and the wind becoming

:43:55. > :43:57.more of a feature as well, especially across the South Coast,

:43:58. > :44:01.some pretty brisk and gusty winds and some heavy bursts of rain across

:44:02. > :44:04.the south-west of England. Also raining across southern and central

:44:05. > :44:08.parts of Wales at 9am this morning. I think the north Wales getting away

:44:09. > :44:12.with a largely dry start to the day, as does much of northern England,

:44:13. > :44:16.but we will see that rain pushing in from the south and as we have our

:44:17. > :44:19.way northwards across the Northern Ireland, some of that rain will be

:44:20. > :44:23.falling as some sleet, perhaps even some snow, on top of the highest

:44:24. > :44:34.ground. As we look through the country through the course of the

:44:35. > :44:37.day, that rain across southern areas pushes its way northwards, so rain

:44:38. > :44:40.heading into parts of northern England by around lunchtime. There

:44:41. > :44:43.will be some clear and brighter weather moving in from the

:44:44. > :44:47.south-east later on in the day and the northern half of Scotland keeps

:44:48. > :44:50.a bit of sunshine through the day. The contrasting temperatures. Some

:44:51. > :44:54.places just five or six in the north whereas further south we are likely

:44:55. > :44:57.to see 11 or 12 Celsius. Through the evening and overnight, we will

:44:58. > :45:00.continue with that band of rain pushing slowly northwards across the

:45:01. > :45:04.country. Turning the hill snow as it comes into that cold air across the

:45:05. > :45:07.hills of Scotland. So a wet night across many northern areas. England

:45:08. > :45:10.and Wales not quite as wet at temperatures certainly mild and

:45:11. > :45:13.still frost free here although we could see a touch of frost across

:45:14. > :45:17.Scotland first thing Saturday morning. So the start of the weekend

:45:18. > :45:20.we have that rain with us across much of Scotland, Northern Ireland

:45:21. > :45:23.as well. Some hill snow and some blustery winds. The England and

:45:24. > :45:26.Wales are drier sort of day. Still some showers particularly around the

:45:27. > :45:29.east coast but equally a bit of sunshine and temperatures generally

:45:30. > :45:33.around seven to 11 degrees for most of us. Low pressure stays with us

:45:34. > :45:36.through the weekend so for Sunday, a weather front bringing outbreaks of

:45:37. > :45:39.rain west to east across England and Wales, quite blustery as well, quite

:45:40. > :45:43.blustery for Scotland and northern England but still wet and windy to

:45:44. > :45:46.the north-east of Scotland and temperatures generally around seven

:45:47. > :45:49.to 11 degrees during the course of Sunday. So it is a changeable

:45:50. > :45:53.outlook on the cards over the next few days. We've got some rain, we

:45:54. > :45:57.got some brisk winds as well, but most of us should see a little bit

:45:58. > :45:59.of sunshine at least for one of the day through the weekend.

:46:00. > :46:14.The pub industry has been under financial pressure for a number

:46:15. > :46:17.of years, and pub landlords are now weighing down on the Chancellor.

:46:18. > :46:21.It is not the first time we have talked about problems for the pub

:46:22. > :46:24.They're asking him to take action in next week's Budget to help

:46:25. > :46:27.struggling pubs with the planned hike in business rates.

:46:28. > :46:31.Good businesses survive. There are many pubs out there, and we will

:46:32. > :46:32.talk about one success now. The plight of our pubs is often

:46:33. > :46:35.talked about and according to the Campaign for Real Ale over 20

:46:36. > :46:39.pubs are closing every week. One that did close back in 2008

:46:40. > :46:42.was The George and Dragon But it's been brought back

:46:43. > :46:46.to life by its community, and has even added a shop

:46:47. > :46:49.and library to keep Today, it'll be named

:46:50. > :46:52.Pub of the Year. We took over running

:46:53. > :46:54.the pub in July, 2014. Most shareholders in the club,

:46:55. > :47:01.205 different shareholders currently, they are not be

:47:02. > :47:04.day-to-day drinkers used to get. We have to get

:47:05. > :47:07.the community on side. We have a little shop,

:47:08. > :47:10.allegedly the smallest in Yorkshire. This year we will be in a position

:47:11. > :47:13.where we will hopefully not have We are probably in a better position

:47:14. > :47:34.this year than other sectors. But other pubs are facing

:47:35. > :47:57.some big challenges. We can talk to Tom from the Campaign

:47:58. > :48:02.for Real Ale. Good pubs are being penalised. Business rates are going

:48:03. > :48:12.up massively, almost by 200% in some cases. It is based on a turnover.

:48:13. > :48:15.You get the George and Dragon. It has been resurrected. You are seeing

:48:16. > :48:21.business rates which make a difference for the turnover. We talk

:48:22. > :48:24.a lot about the number of pubs closing every week. It feels like

:48:25. > :48:34.that figure is coming down. Has there been a bit of a renaissance in

:48:35. > :48:38.the pub industry in the last year or so? The number has come down to 21 a

:48:39. > :48:41.week. But that figure is pretty alarming. There is so much pressure

:48:42. > :48:49.on pubs. There is the tax. Another budget measure of the Beer Tax.

:48:50. > :48:54.900,000 people are employed around the country and it brings in a lot

:48:55. > :49:08.of money. Do you think the price of beer, regardless of tax, has gone up

:49:09. > :49:12.too much? Sometimes you can have a fiver for a can of something tasty,

:49:13. > :49:16.but with craft, it is a lot of money. I think so. Because of the

:49:17. > :49:20.tax rates and the business rates and all these other pressures, pubs have

:49:21. > :49:23.had to fight hard to get some support to businesses which bring so

:49:24. > :49:30.much to communities. How much can we learn from the experience of the pub

:49:31. > :49:34.there who have opened up a library within the pub itself? I know there

:49:35. > :49:41.are many issues, but you need to be entrepreneurial. You need to change

:49:42. > :49:50.along with the world. Absolutely. Many pubs get together when they see

:49:51. > :49:56.a loss and they tried to find a way to revitalise it. But it shows that

:49:57. > :50:01.pubs need to do a bit more and recognise who is coming in and who

:50:02. > :50:06.are their customers. They need to keep that community value. Thank you

:50:07. > :50:11.very much, Tom. I am off to the library later. I am not telling you

:50:12. > :50:18.where it is, but it might be in a pub. It is thirsty work.

:50:19. > :50:21.It's been documenting some of Great Britain's most important

:50:22. > :50:23.history for generations past and present, and this weekend,

:50:24. > :50:25.The Imperial War Museum celebrates its centenary year.

:50:26. > :50:29.A new exhibition looking at people who have struggled for peace over

:50:30. > :50:32.the last 100 years will mark the event, as our special

:50:33. > :50:33.correspondent Robert Hall can explain.

:50:34. > :50:36.He's live for us, just over the canal from our studios,

:50:37. > :50:40.That is the image, actually, from where we are, just

:50:41. > :50:53.Yeah, talking about the Imperial War Museum, it probably conjures up

:50:54. > :50:58.images of this kind of stuff, guns and tanks and uniforms. But from the

:50:59. > :51:00.very beginning, it has been about more than military hardware, it has

:51:01. > :51:06.been about people. It's one of the world's most

:51:07. > :51:08.famous institutions, aimed for school parties,

:51:09. > :51:09.historians, families, Conflict, shocks, and fascinators,

:51:10. > :51:13.this story began a few miles from here with a grand ceremony

:51:14. > :51:16.in a cathedral of glass. By the time George V open

:51:17. > :51:20.the Imperial War Museum in its first home at the ill-fated

:51:21. > :51:22.Crystal Palace, he already had The museum had begun collecting

:51:23. > :51:25.exhibits while the battles of the First World War

:51:26. > :51:28.was still raging. From the outset, the founders set

:51:29. > :51:41.out to involve the public. Appeals printed in ration

:51:42. > :51:44.books brought a flood The idea was initially

:51:45. > :51:47.that it was to be firstly a sort of memorial to the war,

:51:48. > :51:50.but primarily, it was to cover people's experiences in the war,

:51:54. > :51:56.to the munition factory worker The best way to illustrate how

:51:57. > :51:59.the Imperial War Museums have changed since the first collection

:52:00. > :52:02.was put together a century ago There are 155,000 exhibits,

:52:03. > :52:08.those are the larger items either on display or held in store,

:52:09. > :52:12.but there are well over 33 million documents, photographs

:52:13. > :52:14.and recordings, all of them helping to tell the stories

:52:15. > :52:16.around those exhibits. Now 91, she typed the plans for

:52:17. > :52:46.D-Day here in Winston Churchill's bunker, and she shook

:52:47. > :52:48.hands with world leaders at the conference which debated

:52:49. > :52:51.the post-war future of Europe. And now that they are working

:52:52. > :52:56.like this one works, for instance, where everything

:52:57. > :52:59.is active and you can open doors and, you know, drop down mines

:53:00. > :53:02.and whatever you do, the whole place was

:53:03. > :53:04.abuzz when I came in. But reflecting the sad procession

:53:05. > :53:07.of conflicts still erupting around the globe and connecting

:53:08. > :53:09.with today's young people The images of war and conflict that

:53:10. > :53:13.children see on Hollywood movies or video games are very

:53:14. > :53:16.unusual in that, you know, they'll have bespoke knowledge

:53:17. > :53:18.of all these individual weapons systems, they will think people can

:53:19. > :53:22.jump from a tank to a plane to an infantry officer,

:53:23. > :53:25.and there is no understanding that In Salford, every day

:53:26. > :53:38.brings a chance to reflect Once an hour, the museum is filled

:53:39. > :53:44.with the faces and voices of those lived through an experience we can

:53:45. > :53:46.only share at a distance. The story which began

:53:47. > :54:08.a century ago has no ending. I suppose in a way, conflict and war

:54:09. > :54:11.is all around us every single day. In the past, of course, it was

:54:12. > :54:16.perhaps restricted to these newspaper headlines. Articles in

:54:17. > :54:21.printed publications. It was part of our life as children. I certainly

:54:22. > :54:28.remember a lot of the items in that display case there. We watched war

:54:29. > :54:32.films and steel watch them. In fact, our interest in war has boomed due

:54:33. > :54:40.to the explosion in social media. All of a sudden, you can follow your

:54:41. > :54:44.own personal, or your family's, war history. You can go to the

:54:45. > :54:49.battlefields around the world. What the Imperial War Museum is, five of

:54:50. > :54:53.them around the UK now, like to do is tap into that. As you heard in

:54:54. > :54:57.the report, the challenge is to try to separate the image of war,

:54:58. > :55:01.perhaps, through computer games, that children are getting now, and

:55:02. > :55:09.to enable them to see the reality is. And they are stark, as you saw

:55:10. > :55:12.in the display. Every hour, people sit and it is silent and the

:55:13. > :55:19.pictures and images surround them. It is a way of drawing them into the

:55:20. > :55:24.war. And very sadly, as you saw in that report, there is no end to that

:55:25. > :55:31.story. Thank you very much, Robert. Fascinating to see so much of it.

:55:32. > :55:35.See you in a bit. Let's go to the cameras just outside. A gathering of

:55:36. > :55:48.dogs outside. The reason we are looking at them is that there is a

:55:49. > :55:52.question, how many dogs should a dog walker be allowed to walk at a time?

:55:53. > :55:56.The rules say no more than six. One local authority says it should be no

:55:57. > :56:00.more than four because that is the number you can be in control of at

:56:01. > :56:04.any one. We have gathered some dog owners and dog walkers today to talk

:56:05. > :56:07.about this. Some are getting in touch already. Many people have an

:56:08. > :56:12.opinion. Alan says clearly it depends. Six Yorkshire terriers are

:56:13. > :56:19.different to great Danes. I would support a licensing system. We will

:56:20. > :56:24.be talking through some of those issues a little later on and going

:56:25. > :56:26.outdoors as well. I am going to get my coat on and head out to give them

:02:59. > :03:03.of what her family could have expected and should have expected

:03:04. > :03:12.and I would like to give our heartfelt apology to Poppi's Amelie

:03:13. > :03:17.to the inaccuracies -- family for the inadequacies in the

:03:18. > :03:20.investigation. The report has concluded there was enough

:03:21. > :03:23.information on Day one to arrest Poppi's father of the claims of

:03:24. > :03:27.sexual abuse and the Cumbria police have apologised for not doing that

:03:28. > :03:33.but I should remind viewers that earlier a family court judge

:03:34. > :03:38.concluded that Mr Worthington was probably responsible for abusing her

:03:39. > :03:42.before her death. He had been arrested eight months after her

:03:43. > :03:47.death but no charges were ever brought. I ought to save that he has

:08:20. > :08:22.feels like a bit of a surprise that are at a record high.

:08:23. > :08:31.It depends on the time period, 910,000 people is a record high and

:08:32. > :08:34.if you compare that to 2005, only 100,000 people were on these

:08:35. > :08:37.contracts then so it is a big increase but if you look at the last

:08:38. > :08:42.half of last year, it has grown pretty slowly so something has

:08:43. > :08:46.happened in that world that means it has not grown as quickly. That is

:08:47. > :08:50.partly down to the back we are at record employment in the UK almost

:08:51. > :08:53.across the country so that workers might have a bit more of a

:08:54. > :08:57.bargaining chip when they are talking about contracts with their

:09:00. > :09:04.have been controversial because you are not guaranteed any hours of work

:09:05. > :09:07.and companies, too many some say, had been employed people for too

:09:08. > :09:11.many hours without giving them as many rights and companies have not

:09:12. > :09:14.like the repetition they had been gathering and I may be looking to

:09:15. > :09:17.guarantee a few more hours. Thank you very much.

:09:36. > :09:37.but elections in Northern Ireland tend to expose old divisions,

:09:38. > :09:39.and once the results of this vote are known,

:09:40. > :09:46.the challenge could be holding on to power sharing.

:09:47. > :09:52.The DUP's Arlene Foster led her party into this election,

:09:53. > :09:53.following a bitter fallout with Irish republicans.

:09:54. > :09:56.Over the last few weeks, harsh words have been

:09:57. > :09:58.exchanged between Mrs Foster and the new Sinn Fein

:09:59. > :10:02.That has led some to question whether they will be heading back

:10:03. > :10:06.into Government together any time soon.

:10:07. > :10:09.In the last Assembly election, which was, remember,

:10:10. > :10:12.less than a year ago, the DUP returned as the biggest

:10:13. > :10:20.While Sinn Fein were in second place, with 28 Assembly Members.

:10:21. > :10:24.The opposition parties, the SDLP, the Ulster Unionists,

:10:25. > :10:27.and the Alliance, will all hope to increase their share of the vote

:10:28. > :10:30.this time, and that is true for the smaller parties too.

:10:31. > :10:34.But actually gaining seats could be difficult, because the number

:10:35. > :10:39.of Assembly Members is being reduced from 108 to just 90.

:10:40. > :10:43.The strength of each of the parties is likely to be important

:10:44. > :10:46.in the inevitable negotiations, to try to get a deal that

:10:47. > :10:48.would allow power sharing the return to Stormont.

:11:32. > :11:36.Among them two 23-year-old Worthing United footballers

:11:37. > :11:39.on their way to a match, and a 76-year-old chauffeur

:11:40. > :11:45.who was driving to collect a bride on her wedding day.

:11:46. > :11:48.It was the worst airshow accident in the UK in more than 60 years

:11:49. > :11:51.and today those who lost loved ones hope to get a fuller

:11:52. > :11:55.understanding of what happened on that August afternoon.

:11:56. > :11:58.Accident investigators have already published a number of preliminary

:11:59. > :12:03.reports and we know already the crash happened during

:12:04. > :12:06.Investigators said the weather was fine and the jet

:12:07. > :12:11.But they said the show's organisers hadn't been aware

:12:12. > :12:14.of what the pilot had intended to do during his aerial display.

:12:15. > :12:20.He was left with serious injuries after the crash

:12:21. > :12:23.and is now the subject of a police investigation.

:12:24. > :12:25.Joining us from Reading is Jim Morris, an aviation lawyer

:12:26. > :12:31.who represented the families when the accident happened.

:12:32. > :12:39.It has been nearly 18 months since this terrible accident happened. I

:12:40. > :12:43.know you are in contact with the families of those who lost loved

:12:44. > :12:48.ones. Tell us how they have been coping over this time? As you can

:12:49. > :12:54.imagine, it was a horrendous experience for the families and

:12:55. > :12:58.victims. Any air accident investigation takes time so the

:12:59. > :13:04.publication this final report today is extremely important to them to

:13:05. > :13:07.try to understand and fit together the final pieces of this jigsaw

:13:08. > :13:14.puzzle. And how are they feeling about it today? With trepidation

:13:15. > :13:20.obviously, and they need to be able to digest the contents of the

:13:21. > :13:28.report. We expect the report to focus on the aerobatic sequence and

:13:29. > :13:33.the on-board video cameras to try to understand and analyse what went

:13:34. > :13:39.wrong with this sequence. Do you think they will get the answers they

:13:40. > :13:42.need? It is difficult to say at this point in time because the report is

:13:43. > :13:50.not going to be published until midday. But the three reports that

:13:51. > :13:54.the air accident investigators have published so far have been very

:13:55. > :13:59.thorough so the families and I expect a thorough analysis in the

:14:00. > :14:03.final report of the outstanding matters. And as well as being a

:14:04. > :14:07.lawyer, you are former RAF pilot and I know you have organised as shows

:14:08. > :14:13.yourself. Have you ever seen anything like this before? No, as

:14:14. > :14:19.you said, this is the worst Tesche accident in decades -- the worst

:14:20. > :14:22.airshow accident. Clearly some very important lessons need to be

:14:23. > :14:26.learned. There have been a number of recommendations already made by the

:14:27. > :14:31.air accident investigators and this final report, the additional

:14:32. > :14:36.analysis of the aerobatic sequence and the other evidence available

:14:37. > :14:42.will hopefully provide a full picture of the full chain of events

:14:43. > :14:45.so that the Civil Aviation Authority, airshow organisers,

:14:46. > :14:48.pilots and operators can learn all the necessary lessons to prevent

:14:49. > :14:50.this from ever happening again. Thank you very much for your time

:14:51. > :14:53.this morning. You're watching

:14:54. > :14:55.Breakfast from BBC News. Patients could be at risk

:14:56. > :15:01.of harm when buying medication on the internet -

:15:02. > :15:03.that's the warning from the healthcare watchdog

:15:08. > :15:10.old Poppi Worthington has said the investigation by Cumbria Police

:15:21. > :15:23.the weather for us this morning, in search of the first

:15:24. > :15:36.flowers of spring. That is right. We have some

:15:37. > :15:43.beautiful spring flowers here, I'm at the NOW gallery, I am among this

:15:44. > :15:48.amazing art installation. It is by the artist Rebecca Law and it

:15:49. > :15:53.involves 10,000 fresh Iris, they have suspended hanging by a copper

:15:54. > :15:56.wire. It took the team here at the gallery round about five days to

:15:57. > :16:02.really create this amazing installation. It gives the sense

:16:03. > :16:07.that the flowers are suspended floating in midair. They will be

:16:08. > :16:11.here until 7th May so they will change in how they look, how they

:16:12. > :16:15.smell as well. They will be left to wither out and to dry out too. In

:16:16. > :16:20.about half an hour, we will talk in more depth with the curator of the

:16:21. > :16:24.gallery. She will tell us more about the design and why we are here as

:16:25. > :16:28.well on the Greenwich peninsula. If you are hoping to head out and see

:16:29. > :16:31.the spring flowers outside today, it's a bit of a mixed scene out

:16:32. > :16:37.there to start the day. We have. Some rain round today and in fact

:16:38. > :16:41.things are looking unsettled through the course of the week. Through this

:16:42. > :16:45.morning across the far north one or two showers but for much of northern

:16:46. > :16:49.and central Scotland, it is a cold frosty but bright start to the

:16:50. > :16:52.morning, a bit of rain and hill snow to the south-west of Scotland, but

:16:53. > :16:56.as we move down to the North East of England largely clear and dry at

:16:57. > :16:59.9.00 in the morning but further south-east Angela and the

:17:00. > :17:04.south-east, we have got the rain that is already set in and there

:17:05. > :17:06.will be continuing outbreaks of rain through the morning, strong blustery

:17:07. > :17:12.winds as we move along the south coast. So for the south-west of

:17:13. > :17:18.England into southern and central Wales, outbreaks of rain, heavy at

:17:19. > :17:22.times combined with blustery winds. It is drier for the north of Wales

:17:23. > :17:26.and northern England too, but as we move across to Northern Ireland, it

:17:27. > :17:30.is looking cloudy, outbreaks of rain perhaps some sleety snow on top of

:17:31. > :17:34.the highest ground. So heading through the course of today, all

:17:35. > :17:37.that cloud and rain in southern areas pushes further north, so by

:17:38. > :17:41.round the middle of the day we see that rain heading in across northern

:17:42. > :17:44.England, still wet in Northern Ireland too. There will be some

:17:45. > :17:48.drier and brighter weather, just pushing into the south-east later in

:17:49. > :17:53.the day. Mild here, round about 11 or 1. Further north in Scotland,

:17:54. > :17:57.it's a colder feeling day, some of us not getting above five or six

:17:58. > :18:02.Celsius. Through this evening and overnight we will continue to see

:18:03. > :18:07.that band of rain, even some hill snow in Scotland. England and Wales

:18:08. > :18:11.will dry out somewhat overnight. There will be a few showers, mild in

:18:12. > :18:14.the south, eight or nine degree, further north we could see a touch

:18:15. > :18:18.of frost, particularly in the northern half of Scotland. So when

:18:19. > :18:22.we start Saturday morning, we have got that rain across Scotland,

:18:23. > :18:26.Northern Ireland, continuing to push north wards, bringing hill snow and

:18:27. > :18:30.wind, so wet weather in the north. England and Wales will see an

:18:31. > :18:33.improving story. Some sunshine, a few showers, particularly to the

:18:34. > :18:37.east and temperatures ranging between round about seven to 11

:18:38. > :18:42.degrees for most of us. And low pressure still with us on into the

:18:43. > :18:45.second half of the weekend, so for Sunday, some rain pushing west to

:18:46. > :18:49.east across much of England and Wales, wet and windy weather in the

:18:50. > :18:52.north and east of Scotland but it will be a drier day for Scotland,

:18:53. > :18:57.Northern Ireland, parts of Wales too. Not a complete write off but

:18:58. > :19:01.all in all things are looking unsettled with rain at times for

:19:02. > :19:05.most of us through the weekend. Back to you both.

:19:06. > :19:09.Do you reckon it is good for swimming outdoors today? It could

:19:10. > :19:12.be. Once you are under water it doesn't even make a difference what

:19:13. > :19:16.is happening in the skies. Very good point.

:19:17. > :19:21.The question is what is in the water when you are under water?

:19:22. > :19:23.It's an antisocial act that normally goes under the radar,

:19:24. > :19:26.but many have long suspected the truth - people do

:19:27. > :19:31.Yes, scientists who developed a new test and carried out random

:19:32. > :19:33.checks in Canada found urine in 100% of their samples.

:19:34. > :19:36.So is it something we sneakily do but would never admit to?

:19:37. > :19:38.We asked people in Manchester what they thought.

:19:39. > :19:42.Kids wee in pools, I think that's like a common thing, but yes,

:19:43. > :19:48.It wouldn't put my sending the kids to the swimming baths,

:19:49. > :19:55.Well, I don't do that, not in the swimming pools.

:19:56. > :19:59.We can do it in the sea, but not in the swimming pool.

:20:00. > :20:02.I feel like the sea is acceptable, swimming pool - maybe not.

:20:03. > :20:09.Don't do it in the swimming pool, but the sea you're allowed.

:20:10. > :20:11.No, not since I was probably about seven, I definitely haven't.

:20:12. > :20:13.Because I think I wouldn't, definitely wouldn't want to swim

:20:14. > :20:15.afterwards either, so why would you want someone

:20:16. > :20:24.I always drag the children out as well, don't let them do it either.

:20:25. > :20:33.Joining us now is in the studio is former Olympic swimmer

:20:34. > :20:36.Steve Parry, and from our London newsroom, scientist Fran Scott.

:20:37. > :20:45.Thank you very much for joining us. Fran, let me start with you. One of

:20:46. > :20:52.the question is, is it healthy to swim in a pool that people have

:20:53. > :20:56.weed? ? Well, there is a lot of evidence from history that you're in

:20:57. > :21:01.isn't that bad for you, so in 18th century France people used to do

:21:02. > :21:07.you're in baths so bathe in you're in, it has been said that it can be

:21:08. > :21:10.good for spot, because it has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial

:21:11. > :21:14.properties be and Madonna believe it or not is rumoured to have admitted

:21:15. > :21:19.she wees in the shower. So you might think it is not too bad for you.

:21:20. > :21:23.Excuse me. But the thing is, in terms of weeing in a pool, like the

:21:24. > :21:29.lady said weeing in the sea perhaps OK. Weeing in a pool is a bit

:21:30. > :21:34.different. What happens is the nitrogen containing compounds in the

:21:35. > :21:39.wee react with the chlorine, in the pool, so produce what is known as

:21:40. > :21:45.disinfection by products and they can be bad for health. Which is why

:21:46. > :21:47.they were doing this study. At the moment the levels produced are

:21:48. > :21:51.absolutely completely safe. They are less than half than the maximum that

:21:52. > :21:55.the World Health Organisation says it is a dangerous level so they are

:21:56. > :21:59.safe but they could be dangerous if we do keep on weeing in our pools.

:22:00. > :22:04.Steve, you spent more time than most of news a swimming pool 678 half

:22:05. > :22:09.your life. Swimming up and down, did you just forget about it, not think

:22:10. > :22:17.about it? After reading this report, I am surprised there is not more, I

:22:18. > :22:23.think they said there is like a dustbin in an 8,000 litre pool. I

:22:24. > :22:26.thought all people weed in a pool. Professional swimmers don't have

:22:27. > :22:30.time to get out. We saw people there, everyone was saying no, never

:22:31. > :22:34.done it. We know they have. If people asked themselves the question

:22:35. > :22:39.they are having a little tinkle in the water. Come on. ! A lot were

:22:40. > :22:46.saying yes, kids, we understand that, but when you are a grown up?

:22:47. > :22:50.Yes, I think the idea of, you know, 20% of people admit to it so

:22:51. > :22:53.probably half do. That is why they put chlorine in the pool. But on an

:22:54. > :22:56.important point, that is why they ask people to go to the toilet

:22:57. > :23:01.before they get in so they don't need to go when they are in and they

:23:02. > :23:05.ask people to take showers, but this is our most popular sport, in the

:23:06. > :23:09.country, and I want to make the point, this is safe, you know, I

:23:10. > :23:15.know we are having fun about this, it is safe to do, and I don't worry

:23:16. > :23:20.about those levels, you talk about 0.01% in the water. It is not a big

:23:21. > :23:28.deal. We have had a lot of comments, mixed views on it. Gina, an ex-pool

:23:29. > :23:35.cleaner who says yes they do. You can watch the PH level drop when

:23:36. > :23:39.loads of kids get in. I am sure when I was little they used to tell us

:23:40. > :23:44.that they were going to put special stuff in the pool, that if you did

:23:45. > :23:50.it would Dai the water round you so there would be a trace. -- dye. I

:23:51. > :23:55.remember that. Is that an urban myth? It is just to put people off.

:23:56. > :24:01.It has propagated through the years and people say there was a celebrity

:24:02. > :24:06.who did a prank. It is a myth. There is, there could be a dye they could

:24:07. > :24:12.add but it isn't added. There is no way to be able to, detect the you're

:24:13. > :24:17.in, it might detect sweat or other things so it might have false

:24:18. > :24:25.positives which no-one wants to be staired at saying they have weed in

:24:26. > :24:31.the pool. Of course even if it doesn't dye it you notice because it

:24:32. > :24:36.goes warmer round you. Who are you swimming with? ! The point you were

:24:37. > :24:40.making about the health benefits of swimming, the point here is that

:24:41. > :24:44.almost any activity you do, if you jog, there is air pollution, it is

:24:45. > :24:48.kind, there is always something isn't there? There is is a down

:24:49. > :24:53.side. I think this is just, people have found this interesting because

:24:54. > :24:58.we are talking about wee. It has raised a few eyebrows but it is such

:24:59. > :25:02.a small amount. What surprised me if you are going on a spa break, and in

:25:03. > :25:07.a hot tub you will be exposed to three or four times more you're in

:25:08. > :25:10.than in a swimming pool. People won't stop going to spas, 2.5

:25:11. > :25:16.million people swimming every week, it is not a big problem and the kids

:25:17. > :25:22.need to learn to swim. You think the bad stuff will be oiled off as it

:25:23. > :25:26.were in a hot tub? I don't know, but if Steve is right, there is three

:25:27. > :25:30.times in the science suddenly they found there was three times the

:25:31. > :25:33.concentration of you're in in the jacuzzi and one compared to the

:25:34. > :25:38.worst swimming pool. So maybe it is just because they think they are

:25:39. > :25:41.adults and adults don't wee in jacuzzis, that is far from the

:25:42. > :25:46.truth. If you are heading off swimming this morning or going for

:25:47. > :25:49.your spa break, I apologise. I might have spoiled it for you. Good to see

:25:50. > :26:07.you both this morning. If we go outside for a moment we can

:26:08. > :26:12.go for a gathering of dogs. Question is about if you are a professional

:26:13. > :26:17.dog walker, how many dogs should you be walking with? At the moment, the

:26:18. > :26:21.maximum number is six. But there is some calls to reduce that to four,

:26:22. > :26:25.so we will be talking to some professional dog walkers about what

:26:26. > :26:28.they think on this and lots of you getting in touch to tell us what you

:26:29. > :26:37.thought. I can't wait to go outside and give them a stroke. Are we going

:26:38. > :26:45.to play spot the breed? At least one is going to be a cocker poo. If you

:26:46. > :26:48.have a big pack of dogs to be walking in your park, if you are a

:26:49. > :26:50.professional walker. That is coming up in a few minutes type.

:26:51. > :26:52.That is coming up in a few minutes type.

:26:53. > :30:14.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:30:15. > :30:24.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt

:30:25. > :30:34.A damning report by the police watchdog into the Cumbrian force

:30:43. > :30:47.The Independent Police Complaints Commission said senior detectives

:30:51. > :30:56.to adequately investigate whether she had been abused.

:30:57. > :30:58.Chief Constable Jeremy Graham of Cumbria Constabulary apologised

:30:59. > :31:04.I am very clear that the initial investigation into Poppi

:31:05. > :31:07.Worthington's death fell well short of what Poppi's family

:31:08. > :31:16.and I would like to give a heartfelt apology to Poppi's family

:33:04. > :33:05.Conservative party conference later today.

:33:06. > :33:08.She'll attempt to defuse calls for another referendum on independence.

:33:09. > :33:10.Let's get more detail now from our Scotland correspondent,

:33:11. > :33:22.This is a significant speech for the Prime Minister. It is. Theresa May

:33:23. > :33:26.will launch a strong attack on the SNP here at the Tory party

:33:27. > :33:30.conference in Glasgow later. She will launch an attack on their

:33:31. > :33:34.record in government in areas like health and education and say they

:33:35. > :33:39.are neglecting the day job in favour of what she calls their tunnel

:33:40. > :33:44.vision over independence and argued that the SNP are treating politics

:33:45. > :33:48.as a game. In a BBC interview yesterday Theresa May said the

:33:49. > :33:51.question is not whether there could be a second independence referendum

:33:52. > :33:55.but whether there should be a second referendum but she would not be

:33:56. > :33:59.drawn on the issue on whether she would grant permission for the

:34:00. > :34:03.second independence referendum to take place. Nicola Sturgeon says the

:34:04. > :34:09.referendum is looking increasingly likely and all but inevitable and

:34:10. > :34:11.she says if that happens the fault lies with the Conservative

:34:12. > :34:13.government in London that is taking Scotland out of the EU against its

:34:14. > :34:16.will. Scientists have created

:34:45. > :34:49.on contracts that don't guarantee any hours last year -

:34:50. > :34:54.that's up from 2015 But although the new figures

:37:08. > :37:14.I think there are many parts of our organisation today that

:37:15. > :37:18.are at that level, but we've got gaps.

:37:19. > :37:20.And we recognise those gaps, and where those gaps have affected

:37:21. > :37:33.England one-day captain Morgan, has confirmed that Jake Ball

:37:36. > :37:38.Steven Finn, will take Ball's place in the bowling attack,

:37:39. > :37:40.while Sam Billings is likely to open, in Antigua.

:37:41. > :37:43.It's the first, of a three match series, as England

:37:44. > :37:45.build up to hosting the Champions Trophy, this summer.

:37:46. > :37:47.We do have one eye on the Champions Trophy,

:37:48. > :37:50.obviously getting a reasonable squad together before then,

:37:51. > :37:53.and an idea of nailing down our team.

:37:54. > :37:56.You know, we only have one more - sorry, two more series,

:37:57. > :37:59.one against Ireland and one in South Africa, before

:38:00. > :38:04.And it is important to get the guys that we feel who are going to be

:38:10. > :38:16.What inspirational message would you have printed on the back of your

:38:17. > :38:20.sport shirt? This is what the Sweden women's team are doing, not just

:38:21. > :38:25.their names with a message and one player has "The future is female".

:38:26. > :38:31.And another saying everyone has their personal battle they are

:38:32. > :38:34.fighting, be kind always. One viewer says it is hard to soar like an

:38:42. > :38:51.are very long. I will go for make all your giraffes have long legs. It

:38:52. > :38:56.means if it has short legs, it is pretty much stuff. It is a metaphor

:38:57. > :39:03.for life. I think it means may all your dreams be fulfilled. May all

:39:04. > :39:04.your giraffes have long legs. Tomorrow, cycling on ice.

:39:05. > :39:12.Do not try it at home. Thanks. Education leaders are warning that

:39:13. > :39:15.schools in England could be pushed to breaking point if a new funding

:39:22. > :39:24.is at an all time high but said that schools would have to help

:39:25. > :39:34.reduce the deficit. Parents are being consulted about

:39:35. > :39:39.this. It is happening right now. We are

:39:40. > :39:44.talking about the total sum of money the government spends on education

:39:45. > :39:47.in England, and the other is how the money is distributed among schools.

:39:48. > :39:55.The government wants to redistribute the pot of cash in a fairer way, it

:39:56. > :39:57.says. But the association of schools and college leaders say the

:39:58. > :39:59.redistribution will never be fair, because the pot of cash is simply

:40:00. > :40:01.too small. What would be the first

:40:02. > :40:03.stage of that one? In this maths class in Wokingham,

:40:04. > :40:08.a parent volunteer helps out. Mrs Walsh, one of a growing number

:40:09. > :40:11.of those who give up their time Parents here pay a regular monthly

:40:12. > :40:27.?5 sum to help make ends meet. Why should we have

:40:28. > :40:29.to ask them for more? That just isn't right,

:40:30. > :40:34.and I don't like doing it. Here, the headteacher is inviting us

:40:35. > :40:37.in to give us a very honest The NAO says rising costs means

:40:38. > :40:51.all schools will lose on average 8% But under the new system,

:40:52. > :40:55.just over half of schools, including this one,

:40:56. > :40:57.would gain on average 3%. Three years ago,

:40:58. > :41:06.they were in the black. The next year they

:41:07. > :41:08.slipped into the red. It is already having

:41:09. > :41:16.a knock-on effect. Some of my children,

:41:17. > :41:18.already they are struggling a bit, and they have less help this

:41:19. > :41:20.year than last year. All of those things that

:41:21. > :41:25.I could shave, I have shaved. And still, we cannot get

:41:26. > :41:28.to a balanced budget. In Poynton, a school which stands

:41:29. > :41:39.to lose under current proposals, and they say the have already lost

:41:40. > :41:42.14 full-time positions. And I hear from other schools around

:41:43. > :41:52.the country they are having to make They're not going to run

:41:53. > :42:01.technology, or art. These kinds of things will just

:42:02. > :42:04.disappear from the curriculum. The Department for Education say

:42:05. > :42:06.they have protected schools until now, but now school

:42:07. > :42:10.cuts are inevitable. We're introducing a much fairer

:42:11. > :42:12.system, where funding goes to schools, and it reflects

:42:13. > :42:15.the needs of the pupils Fair doesn't mean schools

:42:16. > :42:27.will balance their books. School spending is as high

:42:28. > :42:30.as it has ever been. But that is not enough to cover

:42:31. > :42:38.those increased costs. We expect them to absorb those costs

:42:39. > :42:41.because we all have to contribute to the task of delivering

:42:42. > :42:45.a reduction in the deficit. But overall school funding

:42:46. > :42:49.is at an all-time level of ?40 billion a year, and it will go

:42:50. > :42:52.to ?42 billion year as pupil numbers Efficiencies, he believes,

:42:53. > :43:05.can still be found. The Association of School

:43:06. > :43:10.and College Leaders disagree. They claim many schools will be

:43:11. > :43:13.pushed to breaking point under new proposals, consultation

:43:14. > :43:24.for which ends on the 22nd. Should be enough, that is at the

:43:25. > :43:26.heart of the debate. What is interesting six in ten secondary

:43:27. > :43:34.schools in England are in the red right now, in deficit. The National

:43:35. > :43:38.Audit Office say three years from now the deficit figures will not be

:43:39. > :43:41.in the tens of thousands as they were in the film in Wokingham, they

:43:42. > :43:43.will be in the hundreds of thousands, it will be that

:43:44. > :43:47.significant. And just to confuse things, there

:43:48. > :43:52.are different pictures across the UK.

:43:53. > :43:56.At the moment it is a similar picture in Scotland, Wales, Northern

:43:57. > :44:00.Ireland and England, they leave it to education authorities to make

:44:01. > :44:05.their mind up on how the money is spent. That is what the government

:44:06. > :44:10.wants to change here, they want to centralise the system. Scotland is

:44:11. > :44:14.having a review. They do not want to centralise things, they want to

:44:15. > :44:18.devolve power back to schools. They think schools know best. Back

:44:19. > :44:25.consultation ended in January and we have yet to hear back. If you are a

:44:26. > :44:31.parent, a school, here, you want your voice heard, do it now, you

:44:32. > :44:37.have until the 22nd of March. Now the weather.

:44:38. > :44:46.Sarah, you have an indoor example of how Spring has sprung. That's right.

:44:47. > :44:49.It might be a soggy day out there today but we have these beautiful

:44:50. > :44:57.spring flowers and I am involved in a sea of floating irises. This

:44:58. > :45:01.exhibition is on the moment and I'm pleased to be joined by the curator

:45:02. > :45:08.of the museum. Thanks for joining us, Jemima. Talk is through the

:45:09. > :45:10.inspiration this amazing exhibition. Rebecca's inspiration came from

:45:11. > :45:14.walking around the Greenwich peninsula. What you don't realise

:45:15. > :45:17.when you stand here is that we are surrounded by the Thames River and

:45:18. > :45:23.water. There are marshlands and irises used to grow there so she

:45:24. > :45:28.brought them into the gallery. It looks incredibly intricate and

:45:29. > :45:32.delicate. 10,000 irises, I believe. Was accommodated and did it take a

:45:33. > :45:37.long time for Rebecca and the team to create the installation -- was it

:45:38. > :45:40.complicated? It took five days and Rebecca is such a hands-on artist.

:45:41. > :45:46.She was up and down in a cherry picker. Installing them over five

:45:47. > :45:51.days and it was extraordinary. They are here until the 7th of May. They

:45:52. > :45:55.are here for two months and I don't think you realised that although

:45:56. > :45:59.fresh flowers are beautiful, when flowers dry, they can be equally

:46:00. > :46:02.fascinating so when people coming over the two months to see how they

:46:03. > :46:06.change. I believe you are celebrating the start of spring here

:46:07. > :46:10.this weekend. Despite the weather we are determined that this is the

:46:11. > :46:18.beginning of spring, so we have a sample, a fantastic marketplace of

:46:19. > :46:21.fresh produce and fashion and creative gardening and we hope

:46:22. > :46:27.people will come down this weekend and see the installation, but also

:46:28. > :46:31.come and get something, take some spring lamb home so they can enjoy

:46:32. > :46:35.the start of spring. Wonderful. Fingers crossed we will get some

:46:36. > :46:36.sunshine over the weekend. Not a complete wash-out. Thank you,

:46:37. > :46:44.Jemima, for joining us. Onto the forecast and it looks like

:46:45. > :46:48.an unsettled spell of weather over the next couple of days. Low

:46:49. > :46:52.pressure in charge, so rain at times through the day and into the

:46:53. > :46:56.weekend. Through this morning, one or two light showers across the

:46:57. > :47:00.north of Scotland, but much of northern and central Scotland is dry

:47:01. > :47:05.and bright and it has been a frosty start but there will be sunshine. A

:47:06. > :47:08.bit of rain and hill snow across the South West but down towards the

:47:09. > :47:12.north-east of England there should be some sunshine around. Across East

:47:13. > :47:16.Anglia and the south-east we have the rain with us so on and off rain

:47:17. > :47:20.through the morning. Quite a wind blowing along the south coast and

:47:21. > :47:26.some blustery gusts and heavy outboards of rain through the

:47:27. > :47:29.south-west and into Wales. As we head north across Wales, much of

:47:30. > :47:33.northern England looking drive through much of the morning, but the

:47:34. > :47:38.rain will sleep -- sweeping later in the day. Heading across to Northern

:47:39. > :47:42.Ireland, rain until so already weather so it will be intermittently

:47:43. > :47:44.raining through much of the day there. As we head through the day,

:47:45. > :47:48.the bulk of the raid across the southern half of the country pushes

:47:49. > :47:51.its way gradually further northwards. It will turn into snow

:47:52. > :47:54.later on as it pushes into southern Scotland but it will be raining

:47:55. > :47:58.across much of northern England as we head through the middle of the

:47:59. > :48:00.day. There will be some brightness heading into the south-east of

:48:01. > :48:09.England in the afternoon with temperatures around 11 or 12

:48:10. > :48:12.degrees, but significantly cooler further North, around five or six in

:48:13. > :48:15.Scotland and the North of England. The rain continues to push across

:48:16. > :48:18.Northern Ireland and Scotland, turning to snow on the higher peaks

:48:19. > :48:25.and it is quite windy in combination with the rain and slow. My old in

:48:26. > :48:29.England and Wales, but it will be colder to start the weekend across

:48:30. > :48:32.Scotland and Northern Ireland as well -- Miles. A wet and windy start

:48:33. > :48:38.to Saturday in the north. Rain and hill snow in Northern Ireland and

:48:39. > :48:41.quite blustery. England and Wales seeing a drier day but there will

:48:42. > :48:47.still be showers across the east coast of England, some uncertainty

:48:48. > :48:50.about how far they will go west. Temperatures around 11 degrees but

:48:51. > :48:54.it will be colder the further north you go. Low pressure is still with

:48:55. > :48:58.us as we move into the second half of the weekend so some rain on

:48:59. > :49:02.Sunday pushing west and east across England and Wales and wet and windy

:49:03. > :49:05.in the north-east of Scotland but elsewhere not a bad day. There will

:49:06. > :49:08.be some dry and brighter weather, still quite blustery and

:49:09. > :49:12.temperatures nothing to write home about. As we had through the next

:49:13. > :49:16.three days, changeable will sum up the weather. Spells of rain but it

:49:17. > :49:23.will not be a complete wash-out this weekend. That is good news. We are

:49:24. > :49:28.talking about dog walking now. Should there be a limit on how many

:49:29. > :49:32.dogs can be walked by one Gosport Borough Council in Hampshire

:49:33. > :49:34.is considering introducing new rules to reduce the number

:49:35. > :49:38.of pets allowed per walker from six to four, but the idea has split

:49:39. > :49:40.the opinion of residents. Nushka, Buddy, Storm,

:49:41. > :49:45.Mowgli and Polly. Heading out on one of their

:49:46. > :49:48.daily walks in Gosport. But the pack may soon

:49:49. > :49:58.have to be split up, with council plans to cut the number

:49:59. > :50:02.of dogs that one person is allowed I'm quite upset, because it feels

:50:03. > :50:06.like the many are being I make a point - yes,

:50:07. > :50:11.I have five dogs, it doesn't mean I can't control them,

:50:12. > :50:14.I do, they are very good dogs, I do make sure I clean

:50:15. > :50:17.up after them as well. It's a walk in the park

:50:18. > :50:21.for these five. And I have lots

:50:22. > :50:24.and lots of poo bags. But she's worried the change

:50:25. > :50:27.could hurt her business. Well, it's going to mean more petrol

:50:28. > :50:30.costs, which means I'm going to have to increase the prices,

:50:31. > :50:33.which I don't want to do, and then obviously I won't get the clients,

:50:34. > :50:36.because it's going to be too Guidance for England and Wales says

:50:37. > :50:41.one person shouldn't handle more But it's up to individual councils

:50:42. > :50:46.to set actual limits. The majority haven't,

:50:47. > :50:48.so is Gosport barking mad, Well, I'm a dog owner

:50:49. > :50:54.and I would have trouble walking with six dogs,

:50:55. > :51:03.to be honest. It only takes one dog, if it's

:51:04. > :51:08.not their pack, to be aggressive. I know of dog walkers

:51:09. > :51:11.who walk half a dozen dogs and they are in control of them,

:51:12. > :51:13.they know their dogs. What would you say to somebody

:51:14. > :51:16.who says you are just interfering too much in people's

:51:17. > :51:20.every day lives? Well, as a council we need to

:51:21. > :51:24.control what can and can't be done. We don't want to interfere,

:51:25. > :51:26.we would rather everyone act in as responsible manner,

:51:27. > :51:28.but unfortunately there are those that, in the minority,

:51:29. > :51:30.that always cause problems Anyone breaking the rules

:51:31. > :51:49.could face a ?100 fine. Well, look where I am. I'm outside

:51:50. > :51:54.with some fantastic dogs and done some professional dog walkers. I am

:51:55. > :52:06.getting dragged away. Tellers who we have got. This is I love. This is

:52:07. > :52:11.mini. Mrs Hudson and McQueen. I have Body who is dragging me. What you

:52:12. > :52:17.think about the restriction? I think it's a good idea. As long as you

:52:18. > :52:22.have control of the dogs and you know which dogs are well-behaved and

:52:23. > :52:28.you are responsible I don't think it is bad. It is ridiculous for people

:52:29. > :52:33.to take out more than six. That does seem like a lot. Mary, what are your

:52:34. > :52:40.thoughts in terms of reducing it to just fall? I am rubbish at this. --

:52:41. > :52:45.to just four? People make the point that it's not about the number of

:52:46. > :52:48.dogs, but some people struggle controlling one dog, but it's about

:52:49. > :52:54.the person looking after them. That's it. Exactly. It's like

:52:55. > :52:57.anything in life, it turns on its own circumstances. We will go

:52:58. > :53:01.through procedures where we have an initial meeting, an interview and we

:53:02. > :53:04.will find out any foibles the dog might have and then we will do a

:53:05. > :53:14.trial walk with the other dogs to make sure it works. If you have

:53:15. > :53:18.somebody who wants to take out any dog, that might be a bad thing, but

:53:19. > :53:23.is it possible to have six dogs walking together to be calm and

:53:24. > :53:27.controlled? It is possible. It's harder, like anything, but it is

:53:28. > :53:33.possible. What you think about controlling dogs? What would you

:53:34. > :53:36.give me as a tip as a rubbish dog walker? Know your dog, have some

:53:37. > :53:42.treats, work with them, entertain them. Be a good leader. And also be

:53:43. > :53:46.responsible for them. Make sure it is a safe place where you let them

:53:47. > :53:50.go and be aware of your surroundings. That's the most

:53:51. > :53:54.important thing, and other dog walkers and their dogs. The dog I am

:53:55. > :53:58.holding is the one going wild and new three stood calm as anything.

:53:59. > :54:08.Quite a lot of comments from this. Here we go. Lelito is that

:54:09. > :54:12.commercial dog walkers should have qualifications in animal management.

:54:13. > :54:17.What do you think? I've been on a dog training course and I'm doing a

:54:18. > :54:22.level for causing dog behaviour. I think it is important to have that

:54:23. > :54:28.-- a level for course in dog behaviour. And also do basic dog

:54:29. > :54:36.training before you start. John says it should be one lead per hand. You

:54:37. > :54:39.can put two leads in one hand when scooping up mess, and no extendable

:54:40. > :54:45.leads. I don't think he would like me. I think it depends on where you

:54:46. > :54:51.are walking the dogs. With the group walks, we tend to do it off the

:54:52. > :54:56.lead, so with regard to having your hands free, that doesn't really

:54:57. > :55:00.apply. Certainly, whoever the dog walker is, whether a commercial dog

:55:01. > :55:05.walker or your own dog, you need to make sure you are picking up after

:55:06. > :55:10.them and you are being vigilant about it. That is 100%. You

:55:11. > :55:14.mentioned taking the dogs off the leads. Claire says the number of

:55:15. > :55:19.dogs is not a problem as eyewitness dog walkers with many dogs off the

:55:20. > :55:23.lead, happy, sociable dogs and my dog is welcome to walk -- join in

:55:24. > :55:27.with them. It's a good point. Dogs are pack animals and may enjoy being

:55:28. > :55:34.sociable and having fun and wearing themselves out. I am so bad at this

:55:35. > :55:38.that we have had to bring one of the producers in to calm the situation

:55:39. > :55:42.down. There you go. Ladies, thank you for your time this morning and I

:55:43. > :55:48.appreciate it. I will go back indoors. That's it for me for now.

:55:49. > :55:53.If we were to cast our eyes away from where Steph is across the canal

:55:54. > :56:01.you will see the Imperial War Museum. It's a rather special event

:56:02. > :56:04.coming up for the Imperial War Museum for many years they have been

:56:05. > :56:11.collating and collecting some of Britain's most important history.

:56:12. > :56:17.Robert Hall is there for us. An important time, and this is a new

:56:18. > :56:21.exhibition we are talking about. It is, it is the 100th birthday of the

:56:22. > :56:27.Imperial War Museum and they are putting together a new exhibition

:56:28. > :56:30.about the anti-war movement, the peace movement. A sign of how things

:56:31. > :56:33.have moved on since his whole institution began. Through the

:56:34. > :56:37.morning I have shown new objects with story attached, and this

:56:38. > :56:42.peculiar thing is a sentry box for fire watchers designed to give them

:56:43. > :56:47.protection as they were dealing with incendiary bombs during the Blitz.

:56:48. > :56:52.Some people might recognise this, a Trabant, and I remember being in

:56:53. > :56:55.Berlin on watching hundreds of them coming through from the former East

:56:56. > :57:00.Germany after the Wall came down, full of people celebrating what they

:57:01. > :57:01.regarded as their liberation. Two objects, and two stories amongst so

:57:02. > :57:08.many. It is one of the world's most

:57:09. > :57:10.famous institutions, aimed for school parties,

:57:11. > :57:12.historians, families, Conflict, shocks and fascinates us,

:57:13. > :57:22.this story began a few miles from here with a grand ceremony

:57:23. > :57:26.in a cathedral of glass. By the time George V opened

:57:27. > :57:35.the Imperial War Museum in its first home at the ill-fated

:57:36. > :57:37.Crystal Palace, he already The museum had begun collecting

:57:38. > :57:40.exhibits while the battle of the First World War

:57:41. > :57:42.was still raging. From the outset, the founders set

:57:43. > :57:49.out to involve the public. Appeals printed in ration

:57:50. > :57:51.books brought a flood The idea was initially

:57:52. > :57:55.that it was to be firstly a sort of memorial to the war,

:57:56. > :57:59.but primarily it was to cover people's experiences in the war,

:58:00. > :58:02.and that meant it covered everybody from the front-line soldier

:58:03. > :58:04.to the munition factory The best way to illustrate how

:58:05. > :58:12.the Imperial War Museums have changed since the first collection

:58:13. > :58:14.was put together a century ago There are 155,000 exhibits,

:58:15. > :58:19.those are the larger items either on display or held in store,

:58:20. > :58:22.but there are well over 33 million documents,

:58:23. > :58:24.photographs and recordings, all of them helping to tell

:58:25. > :58:34.the stories around those exhibits. Here we are in the Cabinet room

:58:35. > :58:37.and that is Churchill's chair. Now 91, she typed the plans for

:58:38. > :58:44.D-Day here in Winston Churchill's bunker and she shook hands

:58:45. > :58:53.with world leaders with the conference which debated

:58:54. > :58:55.the post-war future of Europe. And now that they are working

:58:56. > :58:59.like this one works, for instance, where everything is active

:59:00. > :59:03.and you can open doors and, you know, drop-down and whatever

:59:04. > :59:06.you do, the whole place was abuzz But reflecting the sad procession

:59:07. > :59:10.of conflicts still erupting around the globe and connecting

:59:11. > :59:12.with today's young people The images of war and conflict that

:59:13. > :59:22.children see on Hollywood movies or video games are very unusual

:59:23. > :59:27.in that, you know, they will have bespoke knowledge of individual

:59:28. > :59:30.weapons systems, they will think people can jump from a tank

:59:31. > :59:34.to a plane to an infantry officer and there is no understanding that

:59:35. > :59:37.that is not reality. In Salford, every day

:59:38. > :59:39.brings a chance to reflect Once an hour the museum is filled

:59:40. > :59:48.with the faces and voices of those who lived through an experience

:59:49. > :59:51.we can only share at a distance. The story which began

:59:52. > :00:09.a century ago has no ending. The best bit about being here is

:00:10. > :00:15.looking at the different objects. I asked Charlotte to pick out a few.

:00:16. > :00:20.Talk me through what we have got. This is a crucifix that belong to

:00:21. > :00:24.Edith Cavell. She was executed in the First World War because she

:00:25. > :00:34.helped Allied men to escape from Brussels during that time. We also

:00:35. > :00:39.have this, a pistol that belongs to JR R Tolkien, who wrote the Lord Of

:00:40. > :00:43.The Rings and the Hobbit. This was given to the museum and reminds us

:00:44. > :00:51.that before he wrote his books he served in the First World War,

:00:52. > :00:58.taking part in the Battle of the Somme. This is a knife owned by a

:00:59. > :01:02.man who was the first Indian man to win a Victoria Cross medal in the

:01:03. > :01:07.First World War. The group at the end I particularly like. This was a

:01:08. > :01:14.brave young lady. Let's look at the picture and we will look at the

:01:15. > :01:20.objects. These objects relate to a young lady who in the Second World

:01:21. > :01:26.War lied about her age, she pretended to be 16 when she was

:01:27. > :01:30.actually 14 so she could join the air raid precautions unit and she

:01:31. > :01:35.went as a messenger on her bicycle between different posts relaying

:01:36. > :01:40.messages, even while the Blitz was happening. I want to read from the

:01:41. > :01:44.letter attached to the document. Your cool courage and determination

:01:45. > :01:50.to do your job and get your message through will be an inspiration to

:01:51. > :01:53.all our service. These tiny stories, is so important to families and

:01:54. > :02:03.people who come to research. Why do you think we need the Imperial War

:02:04. > :02:06.Museum? Even 100 years later, we are still learning about conflicts past

:02:07. > :02:11.and present and through the museum we can find out about

:02:12. > :02:14.people'sexperiences, people like us going through extraordinary things

:02:15. > :02:19.and it is something we can carry on to the future. What do you

:02:20. > :02:24.personally get out of it? I love finding out people'sstories and the

:02:25. > :02:29.light and shade. Some stories make you laugh, some make you want to

:02:30. > :02:33.cry, and the emotional impact stays with me. Thanks for talking to me.

:02:34. > :02:39.It has been an interesting morning and we are only on one site. I

:02:40. > :02:46.talked about the Churchill bunker in the report. There is HMS Belfast.

:02:47. > :02:50.And the RWM in Duxford and in Kennington in London. It could be a

:02:51. > :02:52.rainy weekend so perhaps it should be your chance to visit one of

:02:53. > :02:55.those. Thanks.

:02:56. > :02:58.We'll be speaking to the multi-award winning singer Alison Krauss

:02:59. > :03:00.in a moment but first a last look at the headlines where

:03:01. > :04:51.She's won more Grammys than any other singer in history,

:04:52. > :04:54.and can count Adele as a huge fan, and is responsible for bringing

:04:55. > :04:57.bluegrass country music into the mainstream.

:04:58. > :04:59.But it's been 17 years since the American singer

:05:00. > :05:09.She's been inspired by the music of her parents' youth and chosen

:05:10. > :05:14.a collection of classic '50s and '60s tracks to cover.

:05:15. > :05:21.17 years, that is a long time. I did not realise it had been that long.

:05:22. > :05:24.It moves fast. We can look at some of your music from over the years.

:05:25. > :05:27.# I used to laugh at all those songs about the rambling life,

:05:28. > :05:36.# But I ain't laughing now, now that I'm caught up it seems

:05:37. > :05:45.# In all the same ambitious dreams that only lonely life allows

:05:46. > :05:48.# It's feeling longer now than it ever has before

:05:49. > :05:53.# Another memory is another slamming door

:05:54. > :06:14.# When you're out of hand and your muddy bubble

:06:15. > :06:22.# Carrying away the things I treasure

:06:23. > :06:25.# Hell, there ain't no way to measure

:06:26. > :06:36.# Why I love you more than did the day before

:06:37. > :06:42.There are some amazing statistics about what you have achieved. How

:06:43. > :06:47.does it feel to watch that back? Watching some of it is scary, just

:06:48. > :06:52.because it is scary when you see one I going over here and another over

:06:53. > :06:59.here. It has been an interesting career. I have had a really good

:07:00. > :07:03.time. I am glad it is a big part of my life. I have enjoyed it

:07:04. > :07:07.tremendously. The new album is a chance for you, picking out

:07:08. > :07:18.favourites, some of those you feel fond off. Some from a long time ago.

:07:19. > :07:27.The title track Windy City is a song the Osmond Brothers recorded in the

:07:28. > :07:33.70s and the first I heard when I met the Cox family. Things from my past

:07:34. > :07:42.and Buddy Cannon, who produced it. It was a lot of fun. I had an

:07:43. > :07:47.orchestra, pedal steel. A different kind of record for me. A lot of fun.

:07:48. > :07:51.Charlie mentioned at the beginning it is 17 years since your last solo

:07:52. > :07:57.album. What made you want to do it now covers back I like to do what I

:07:58. > :08:04.am inspired to do. I like to be truthful. I cannot

:08:05. > :08:07.contrive something and feel natural. I met Buddy Cannon years ago and

:08:08. > :08:14.worked for him through the years. I wanted to make a record with him. I

:08:15. > :08:21.followed through with it. It is hard to explain. The inspiration, in some

:08:22. > :08:27.kind of term which is not in a weird way. Artists get inspiration from

:08:28. > :08:34.other artists. I looked at comments from Adele. She was in Minnesota

:08:35. > :08:42.talking to her audience and she said, about you, I am obsessed with

:08:43. > :08:51.her. Not like a stalker, but almost. Have you met Adele?

:08:52. > :08:58.I have. I never sank with her. But I have been getting messages from

:08:59. > :09:04.people all over the country that she talked about is in the show. It was

:09:05. > :09:07.endearing. When she came through national I went to see her play. She

:09:08. > :09:14.was adorable. How was the meeting? She was

:09:15. > :09:21.amazing. Kind and generous. It was quite a compliment. Is there a

:09:22. > :09:24.possibility you might sing together? You have collaborated with different

:09:25. > :09:31.artists. Is that something that might happen? I don't know. We did

:09:32. > :09:37.not talk about it. She was too busy being charming. I bet she will be on

:09:38. > :09:42.the phone if she sees the interview! You started so young. He started at

:09:43. > :09:48.the age of 16 and we saw you from back then. We only see the glamorous

:09:49. > :09:54.side of your life, but I bet there is a lot of hard work and

:09:55. > :09:59.challenges? Not too much of a glamorous part of it, I suppose. A

:10:00. > :10:06.shower and fixing your hair is as glamorous as you get. I have had

:10:07. > :10:11.vocal problems over the years. That is not so much fun. Sleeping on the

:10:12. > :10:17.floor of a van, in the good old days. It has been an interesting

:10:18. > :10:23.life. You meet a lot of people and travel a lot of places. Vocal

:10:24. > :10:27.problems, Adele also had problems. She had to have surgery. I think we

:10:28. > :10:35.will see now one of the songs from the new album. Losing You.

:10:36. > :10:44.# Don't sigh a sigh for me Don't ever cry for me

:10:45. > :10:51.# This is goodbye from me I know we're through

:10:52. > :11:13.Some people in the UK think country music can sometimes have a gloomy

:11:14. > :11:21.subject matter. I looked through the album and the titles, they tell a

:11:22. > :11:30.tale. That was Losing You. Another track, It's Goodbye And So Long. And

:11:31. > :11:37.You Don't Know Me. . Sometimes there is a melancholy feel. Yes, there is.

:11:38. > :11:45.When you read the titles back to back it sounds gloomy. I feel the

:11:46. > :11:50.melodies and the way the record fields, it is probably more up than

:11:51. > :11:55.I remember our records being. I do not notice the sadness. The point is

:11:56. > :12:01.they speak to people. I think it does. I like the message of longing,

:12:02. > :12:05.heartbreak. It is something that is truthful.

:12:06. > :12:13.Now you have done another solo album, what is next? I have some

:12:14. > :12:18.things I would like to do. Another band record with Union Station. I

:12:19. > :12:28.have a folder full of things, great songs, behind by desk. You mentioned

:12:29. > :12:32.working with the band again and this is a solo enterprise, does it feel

:12:33. > :12:37.very different doing things on your own? There must be a different feel

:12:38. > :12:42.to being in a band and going on tour and doing your own thing? There is a

:12:43. > :12:48.different field, but most of the guys are playing on it anyway. It is

:12:49. > :12:54.really about inspiration. Doing what you are inspired to do. That is

:12:55. > :13:00.Robert Plant, who you worked with extensively. How was that? It was a

:13:01. > :13:06.lot of fun. He is a joy and a generous person. He lights up the

:13:07. > :13:11.room when he comes in. He was a lot of fun. Lovely to see you. You are

:13:12. > :13:13.wearing gloves. You are feeling the cold! I am freezing. It is quite

:13:14. > :13:15.cold in the studio. That's all from us today - we're

:13:16. > :13:23.both back tomorrow from six o'clock.
