Sinn Fein were the night's big winners with a significant surge | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
of support, as they closed the gap on the DUP. | :00:18. | :00:33. | |
Good morning. It's Saturday, March 4th. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
We'll be live in Belfast in the next few minutes. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |

importantly? It is an unsettled, showery weekend. | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
Most of us would see sunshine on Saturday or Sunday. I will have a | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
full forecast for you in about 15 minutes. | :01:44. | :01:44. | |
The Democratic Unionist Party has been narrowly returned | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
as the biggest party in elections for the Northern Ireland Assembly. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
But the result means they're now just one seat ahead of Sinn Fein, | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
having entered the election ten ahead. | :01:56. | :01:56. | |
The DUP emerged with 28 seats, and Sinn Fein with 27. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
The parties now have three weeks to establish a government. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
This report from our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
If walking out of government was a gamble for Sinn Fein it has paid | :02:05. | :02:20. | |
off. They increased their share of the vote and narrow the gap between | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
them and their old coalition partners, the DUP. But the result | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
leaves major questions about the future of power-sharing in Northern | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Ireland. I said consistently throughout the campaign Sinn Fein | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
are not interested in going back to the status quo. The DUP have to | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
fundamentally change their ways and be true to the principles of | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
power-sharing. Sinn Fein had called for the DUP leader Arlene Foster to | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
step aside as First Minister during a public enquiry into a botched | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
green energy scheme. When she refused Sinn Fein left the coalition | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
government forcing her from office. Now there is work to be done and | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
work to quickly mend the relationship which had been frayed | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
by the discord of this election. But it was a more Stormont's opposition | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
parties that suffered most in this election. I shall make my statement | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
and leave the stage. The leader of the Ulster union is Mike Nesbitt | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
stood down because of their poor performance. It will now be up to | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
the leaders of Sinn Fein and the DUP to draw battlelines in the | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
inevitable negotiations to try to form a government. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Joining us from Belfast newsroom is our correspondent Gillian | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
Just put this result in context for us. Well what happens now is the | :03:38. | :03:50. | |
assembly members arrive at Stormont on Monday morning for what is | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
described as a reception date and then the hard work begins because | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist Party have to find a way | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
forward to negotiate so they can work together to run Northern | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Ireland's affairs once more. They cannot agree on fundamental things | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
like, should the UK have Exeter the EU, or should it have stayed? -- | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
exited. There is an Irish language Bill that Sinn Fein is keen on and | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
the DUP is not. They have three weeks to sort this out. If they | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
cannot agree a way forward by 27 March of the Secretary of State in | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
the Westminster government on the James Brokenshire, has three | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
options, he can either give them more time to talk, if he thinks that | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
is worthwhile, he could call more elections to see if there can be a | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
further political settlement, all he could decide to impose direct rule | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
from Westminster. So I suspect if they cannot agree we won't see much | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
of a way forward until the other side of Easter. So, would you say | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
this is a good or a bad result for the DUP? It is difficult for them, | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
isn't it, at one stage they were surging ahead. The difference | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
between them and Sinn Fein for voter share is 0.2%, absolutely tiny, so | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
the party has to ask questions about why it didn't get the vote out, why | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
it wasn't appealing to voters in the numbers Sinn Fein was able to do. | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
Sinn Fein has surged ahead and pulled a blinder in this election. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
It has increased its share of the vote by 4%. Thank you. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Companies who automatically sign up customers for subscription services | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
without their knowledge face a government crackdown | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
The government will announce plans to help people avoid so-called | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
"subscription traps" by being notified before | :05:41. | :05:41. | |
Hands up how many of us have genuinely read through all of the | :05:42. | :05:59. | |
small print at the end of a contract before we signed with a pen or | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
online? Citizens Advice says two thirds of us skim through without | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
reading it all. And after a free trial at the gym or some credit | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
checking services, many of us end up unwittingly committing to paying | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
subscriptions for months, which are tricky to get out of. Now the | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
government is consulting on ways to avoid these subscription traps by | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
ensuring consumers are notified clearly and in good time when a | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
payment is about to be taken. The plans also include making the fine | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
print of terms and conditions a lot shorter, larger and clearer. And the | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
government might also give the Competition and Markets Authority | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
extra powers to prosecute rogue companies. People losing hundreds of | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
pounds as a result of these subscription traps. What tends to | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
happen is people sign up in good faith for a free trial or a one-off | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
discount only to then find as a result of incredibly complex terms | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
and conditions that they and not having money taken out of their | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
account without their knowledge for things that they neither want nor | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
need and I think it is a good decision for the government to act. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Even if proposals are brought into law, consumers still need to be more | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
proactive. Read contracts and study your bank statements, is the message | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
from consumer advocates everywhere. Britain wouldn't be legally obliged | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
to pay a final budget contribution That's according to a group | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
of cross-party peers. But the House of Lords study | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
suggests a payment may be politically necessary to reach | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
an agreement on the UK's withdrawal. Downing Street has described | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
the report as a "significant If you are going to walk away with | :07:28. | :07:40. | |
not a penny to be paid over, then essentially you are closing the | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
door. And it seems to me that that would be the nuclear option. So I | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
don't think, and there is nothing I have heard from the government that | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
implies to me that they are wanting to trigger the nuclear option, but | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
it is as big as that. Reports from France suggest | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
the owner of Peugeot and Citroen has reached an agreement | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
to buy Vauxhall. The deal has been subject | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
to three weeks of talks, but there are concerns about what it | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
could mean for the thousands Vauxhall builds the Vivaro van at | :08:10. | :08:23. | |
Luton, 70,000 rolled off the line last year, and that this port, | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
120,000 Vauxhall Citroen are built every year. As well as those | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
employed directly by GM, thousands more work in the supply chain. There | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
are also 15,000 people in the pension scheme at one of the UK's | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
largest. They have already been told that will be no worse off under the | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
new deal. The good news is that the PSA group which owns Peugeot and | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
Citroen has promised not to cut any jobs in the UK before 2020 and the | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
future after that is uncertain. PSA's was Carlo has had talked till | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
my talks with Theresa May. There were no promises made. Fossil is set | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
to become the second-biggest carmaker after VW. There are three | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
fears French jobs will come ahead of English ones. Len McCluskey has been | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
involved in talks with the PSA bosses. He called Vauxhall a jewel | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
within the crown of GM's European business. Last autumn the government | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
did a deal to keep missing in Sunderland. The company was promised | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
free access to European markets whatever happened after Brexit -- | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Nissan. PSA may well seek similar assurances. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
Mercedes-Benz is to recall around one-million cars because they're | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
It's because of a fault found within newer models which can cause | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
It's thought around 75,000 cars in the UK could be affected | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
but Mercedes says the risk to customers is small. | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
The models at fault include some A, B, C, and E-class cars | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
as well as Mercedes' CLA, GLA and GLC vehicles. | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Anyone who's bought a car between 2015 and 2017 could be | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
affected but Mercedes says the risk to customers is small. | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Mercedes say they're aware of 51 fires so far, | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
but that no deaths or injuries had been recorded. | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
It's thought owners will be contacted later this year. | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
Sir Bruce Forsyth has reportedly returned home after spending five | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
The 89-year-old was being treated for a severe chest infection. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
In a statement released by his agent, Sir Bruce said | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
he wanted to "say a special thank you to all the NHS doctors, | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
nurses and staff" for their "kindness and care". | :10:47. | :10:59. | |
It's got to be the world's longest pub crawl - | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
one group of friends has visited 20,000 boozers over three decades. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
Since then, the group's co-founder Pete Hill has knocked | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
He is the one just under the table. (LAUGHTER).. | :11:12. | :11:24. | |
Along the way, Mr Hill's collected tens of thousands of pounds | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
for charity by asking for a ?1 donation from each landlord. | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
Well done to him. The landlords would be pleased about that as well. | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
Shall we look at what is going on in the papers this morning? The front | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
of the Times has a story we were talking about, whether Britain will | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
have to pay to leave the EU. They say that the House of Lords | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
committee is saying Britain wouldn't have to pay an X at sea. Theresa May | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
it says it will reject a demand for ?50 billion -- exit fee. And on the | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
front of the Daily Telegraph, another picture of Emma Watson at | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
the world premiere of beauty and the beast, starring as Belle, and the | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
lead story about the small print, this is to do with the Chancellor | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
Philip Hammond announcing legislation next week in the budget | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
designed to eliminate confusing jargon used in terms and conditions | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
so you don't get sucked into signing up to a subscription deal that you | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
didn't want. And the Sun's front page have a story saying that John | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
Terry and his wife have been left shaken after a robbery at their home | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
and it is suggesting that maybe the raid happened after the former | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
England and Chelsea skipper put pictures on his Instagram account | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
showing that he was away on holiday skiing. I am just going to take you | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
inside for a picture in the morning, because you have to start Saturday | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
morning with an animal picture, and look at this seal, it has been given | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
a little cuddly toys sealed and they have become good friends, a little | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
lookalike toy -- seal. Kind zookeepers gave the seal as a gift | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
and it has been a flipping huge success. See what they did? Look at | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
that smile. They are cute pictures. It is hard to know which is which. | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
It is not. Well, you have taken off your glasses. That is the problem. | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
It's a problem parents tackle every night up and down the country - | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
how to make sure your children get a good night's sleep? | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
A Panorama investigation has found a big rise in the number | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
of youngsters being admitted to hospital with sleep disorders. | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
But getting into a good routine can be tough, | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
as parents of toddler Elise found out. | :13:54. | :15:28. | |
Feel the pain, feel the pain, and why are we so bad at getting | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
ourselves to sleep, why are we so bad at getting our children to | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
sleep? It is going to be shown at around 8:30pm. We would love to hear | :15:42. | :15:57. | |
from you. Any tips as well. We would love to hear them. Especially at | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
6:15am on a Saturday morning. Here is Sarah with a look | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
at this morning's weather. Good morning to you. Things are | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
looking pretty unsettled through the weekend. A changeable thing. Today | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
many of us will have some spells of sunshine around but not everywhere. | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
For some areas it will be raining for a good part of the day. This was | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
the scene taken yesterday in which he, some shower clouds, and similar | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
scenes were many of us as well. We have low pressure in charge, some | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
heavy rain at the moment further south, in southern France towards | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
the Alps, heavy snowfall on the way but for the UK that low pressure is | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
fairly slow-moving so the weather not changing in a hurry. A lot of | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
wet weather across Scotland and Northern Ireland, there is some hill | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
snow and rain for lower levels, combined with quite a brisk easterly | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
wind as well. In Northern Ireland the heaviest rain will push to the | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
north, this is 9am, but further heavy showers and as we move across | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
England and Wales a lot of dry weather. The far east could see some | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
rain for the likes of Norfolk and Kent and western parts of England, | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
for Devon, Cornwall and parts of Wales, some heavy showers and gale | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
force gusts at times. Elsewhere across England and Wales things are | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
looking predominantly dry and there will be some milky sunshine with | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
high cloud, all in all pretty unsettled day towards the north and | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
west the country. This is where we will see those heavy showers rolling | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
in. Still quite mild in the south towards ten to 12 degrees, but it | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
will feel cooler further north. Looking at a football games, largely | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
dry in Manchester and Leicester but Liverpool has a greater chance of | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
some of those heavy showers rolling in. As we look through into the | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
second half of the weekend we have that low pressure with a Saturday | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
night into Sunday, a quieter spell of weather for a time but then we | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
see this weather front heading in from the west. Through the day | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
tomorrow that will bring a spell of wet weather across much of England | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
and Wales, drifting its way further eastwards. The drier day tomorrow | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
across parts of Scotland, a return to sunnier and milder conditions | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
here. Still some showers around across Scotland and Northern Ireland | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
and temperatures around seven to 11 degrees or so. Looking ahead into | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
the new working week, then, it is still fairly unsettled to start | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
things off. Temperatures rather cool but I think we should see some dry | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
weather as we look towards the middle of the week. Some dry weather | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
sounds good for an hour, brilliant. Three words you want to hear. | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
We will be back with a summary of the news at 6:30am. | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
Now it is time for The Film Review, with Jane Hill and Mark Kermode. | :18:36. | :18:50. | |
Hello and welcome to the Film Review on BBC News. | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
To take us through this week's cinema releases, | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
So a very mixed bag - we have Logan, a superhero movie | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
Viceroy's House, a very handsome period drama from Gurinder Chadha. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
And Certain Women, the latest low-key offering from Kelly | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
Yeah, although in a way that kind of missells it. | :19:11. | :19:22. | |
So this is basically a superhero movie that isn't about superheroes - | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
it's about ageing, and it's about arthritis, and it's | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
about growing old, and losing your memory. | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
Yeah, it is an X-Men movie for people who prefer westerns | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Set in a not-too-distant future in which Hugh Jackman's titular | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
character, Wolverine obviously, is making a living as a limo driver. | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
He is looking wretched, drinks, has bloodshot eyes, | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
and he spends his time looking after Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier, | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
who now has what is descibed as a degenerative brain disease | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
in the most dangerous brain in the world. | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
They are living off the grid, trying to stay under the radar, | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
keep themselves to themselves - or at least that is what they're | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
Hey, Carl, it looks like Mr Munson hired some muscle. | :19:59. | :20:15. | |
Now, the interesting thing about the film is often | :20:16. | :20:35. | |
with the superhero comic book franchises, you know exactly | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
This is such a different beast - the plot involves a young girl | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
who Logan finds himself having to take care of, | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
although initially he doesn't want to. | :20:46. | :20:46. | |
He is forced to do so by circumstances. | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
The real themes of the film are violence and redemption - | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
as I said there is a big Western theme. | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
It refers again and again to Shane, and I'm thinking of movies | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
There is a line that recurs time and time again, | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
"There is no living with the killing." | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
Some of the violence does involve a young child, | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
it is bloody and brutal and genuinely properly shocking. | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
Like Deadpool - this is a 15 certificate - | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
But unlike Deadpool, it is played completely straight - | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
It is played as a film about what happens when you get old, | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
when you are looking back and trying to make sense of your life, | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
when you are trying to find some kind of redemption in a world | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
As I said, when you talk about those things, the Western theme | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
Yes, there are action themes, there is violence, | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
And you know me - that is the bit that puts me off, | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
But it has context and meaning, and most importantly it has pain - | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
when it happens it feels painful, it doesn't just feel exciting. | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
And when you think that we have seen so many of these kind of movies | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
in which entire cities are just sort of merrily wiped out and you don't | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
feel anything at all - in this you do. | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
It is directed by James Mangold, obviously, and I think it's a really | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
fine piece of work that stands on its own, and you don't have | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
to have seen or loved the other films to get it and understand it. | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
You should give it a go, because I think it's really | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
The next one I want to like, because I really like | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Yes, and I do like it - it is a very handsome period drama | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
which blends personal history and politics. | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
It's the story of the partition of India in 1947, so what you have | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
is Hugh Bonneville and Gillian Anderson as Lord and Lady | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
He has been sent there is the last Viceroy to oversee the peaceful | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
The story is told through the prism of the people who are working | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
in the household, so whilst upstairs you have dignitaries and politicians | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
arguing about the fate of nations, downstairs you have all these | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
different characters whose fates seem to reflect those | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
There's a Romeo and Juliet romance at the heart of it, | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
which I have to say was the one false move - | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
What I think does work, Chadha was very clear | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
that she wanted to make a populist drama, that would work | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
for a mainstream multiplex audience, that would address a very difficult | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
and complex subject and do so in a way that was comprehensible, | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
accessible, and also entertaining, and to her great credit I think | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
I know that some people have complained that the film perhaps | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
plays to the gallery, it is too simple, broad strokes | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
characters, but I think that she has understood what the audience needs, | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
and I think she has managed to tell a complicated story in a way | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
Obviously it is a particular take on that story, | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
but I was surprisingly charmed as well, because it is also a movie | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
that has that wry cheeky wit, which are a lot of her stuff does, | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
even among these complex historical events which are so complex, | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
Certain Women - I don't know much about it, but quite a cast. | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
It is great - Kelly Reichardt, of course, the director, | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
gave us Meek's Cutoff and Wendy and Lucy - | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
so essentially this is a triptych of tales by Maile Meloy, | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
and they are put together in one film, and the stories intertwine, | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
In one of them, Laura Dern is a lawyer who has a client who has | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
an old case he keeps coming back to, and she can't move on from it. | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
In another, Michelle Williams is attempting to build a dream house | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
while her life and marriage is falling apart. | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
In the third, Kristen Stewart and Lily Gladstone are a teacher | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
and a rancher respectively who strike up an unlikely friendship. | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
I took this job before I finished law school. | :24:21. | :24:30. | |
I wanted any job - I was afraid of my loans coming through. | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
I guess I was thinking about Belgrave, which is a lot closer. | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
And they are letting me do this because they think it is funny. | :24:47. | :25:03. | |
The pass is icy - it takes me four hours to get here, | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
it is going to take me four hours to get back. | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
Now, you can tell from that, the tone of the film seems to be... | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
Remember that famous quote - Waiting For Godot was a play | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
You could say that this is a film in which nothing | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
But it is in the nothing-happening an awful lot is happening. | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
And a lot of it is to do with, as you saw in that, one character | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
is talking and another character is looking. | :25:33. | :25:34. | |
But it is the looks which are actually saying more | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
than the dialogue, and what I like about this, | :25:38. | :25:39. | |
Kelly Reichardt is a film-maker who works on mood, long shots, | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
you believe in these characters absolutely, | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
and the story is not evident immediately - | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
you have to give it time, let it settle. | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
The performances are fantastically naturalistic - | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
you do believe in the characters, sometimes to the point | :25:54. | :25:55. | |
where you think, I am going to stay with them for a while, | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
even though I am not entirely sure where the narrative thread is going. | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
Over the course of the drama, it does have a cumulative affect, | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
but so much of it is to do with the tone of the atmosphere, | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
you know, the way in which people look at each other, the environment | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
in which they find themselves, the isolation, and the way | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
in which they do or do not relate to the other characters around them | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
That is a very hard sell, because you are not going to put | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
that on a movie poster - a film about the way you may or may | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
not relate to the people and the landscape around you! | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
But it is a film that you have to meet halfway. | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
But she is a superb director, and they are great performances. | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
It sounds absolutely intriguing to me, and that put it | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
And can there be any doubt about film of the week? | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
No - Moonlight is the best thing in cinemas at the moment, | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
the best thing I have seen in a very long time. | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
It won the Best Picture Oscar, and the remarkable thing - | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
when was the last time that the best film of the year actually won | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
It is so brilliant that it did - I think Barry Jenkins has done | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
a brilliant job, a coming-of-age story, a triptych, three periods | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
in the same character's life, played by three different actors. | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
Each one chaptered according to the name of the character. | :27:12. | :27:13. | |
It is about a tough life, but it has got immense beauty, | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
It looks fabulous, you really believe in the characters, | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
it is tactile, sensuous and strange and adventurous, | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
and everything that you want a movie to be. | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
And everything about it kind of says, this is great, | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
there's no way this will win big at the awards - | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
and it did, and it is such a brilliant thing. | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
He is still a very young director, and you don't realise that, | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
in movie terms, it was made on a very small budget. | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
Absolutely tiny, and again it is one of those demonstrations | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
that it is not about your resources - it is about passion, | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
This is a low-budget movie, when you compare what it is up | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
You talk about passion and it commitment - | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
I, Daniel Blake, and this was overlooked by the Academy, | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
and it is a great shame that it was, because it was unbelievably powerful | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
- directed by Ken Loach, wonderful script, great performances | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
by Dave Johns and Hayley Squires, and a story which basically has | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
a message, the message being that bureaucracy and bureaucratic | :28:16. | :28:17. | |
inefficiency can be used as a tool of repression. | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
That doesn't sound like it will make for great drama, | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
but it does - it is about characters that you know and like and care | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
about, and it has got a sequence that has been referred to many times | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
- the food bank sequence - that I think is one of the most | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
perfect pieces of film-making, understated film-making. | :28:35. | :28:36. | |
The cameras stay a long way away from the character, | :28:37. | :28:39. | |
they watch the action play out in real time, | :28:40. | :28:41. | |
It is not just that it has a message, the way in which tells | :28:42. | :28:51. | |
I think just as a piece of film-making, it is really brilliant. | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
I, Daniel Blake is out on DVD - if you don't want to go | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
to the cinema this week, stay at home and watch that, | :29:00. | :29:02. | |
It is a good week in all its variety. | :29:03. | :29:11. | |
A quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
and reviews from across the BBC online at bbc.co.uk/film. | :29:15. | :29:16. | |

Hello, this is Breakfast with Jon Kay and Steph McGovern. | :29:21. | :30:34. | |
Coming up before 7am, Sarah will have your full | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
But first at 6:30am, a summary of this morning's main news. | :30:38. | :30:44. | |
The Democratic Unionist Party narrowly remains the largest party | :30:45. | :30:46. | |
in Northern Ireland after a snap election. | :30:47. | :30:48. | |
But the result means they're now just one seat ahead of Sinn Fein, | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
having entered the election ten ahead. | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
The DUP emerged with 28 seats, and Sinn Fein with 27. | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
The parties now have three weeks to establish a government. | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
This report from our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler | :31:05. | :31:06. | |
If walking out of government was a gamble for Sinn Fein, | :31:07. | :31:16. | |
They increased their share of the vote and narrowed the gap | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
between them and their old coalition partners, the DUP. | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
But the result leaves major questions about the future | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
of power-sharing in Northern Ireland. | :31:28. | :31:36. | |
I said consistently throughout the campaign, Sinn Fein aren't | :31:37. | :31:38. | |
interested in going back to the status quo. | :31:39. | :31:40. | |
The DUP have to fundamentally change their ways and be true | :31:41. | :31:47. | |
to the principles of power-sharing if they want to go back | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
Sinn Fein had called for the DUP leader, Arlene Foster, | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
to step aside as First Minister during a public enquiry | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
When she refused, Sinn Fein left the coalition government, | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
Now there's work to be done and work to quickly mend the relationship, | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
which had been frayed by the discord of this election. | :32:06. | :32:12. | |
But it was some of Stormont's opposition parties that suffered | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
I shall make my statement and leave the stage. | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
The leader of the Ulster Unionists, Mike Nesbitt, stood down | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
It will now be up to the leaders of Sinn Fein and the DUP to draw | :32:22. | :32:27. | |
battlelines in the inevitable negotiations to try to | :32:28. | :32:30. | |
Companies that use confusing small print to mislead customers face | :32:31. | :32:37. | |
Plans include making sure consumers are notified before a payment | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
is taken and simplifying small print. | :32:42. | :32:47. | |
Citizens Advice says two thirds of people skim through terms | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
and conditions without reading them, meaning they get caught | :32:51. | :32:54. | |
in a "subscription trap," not realising they may have to pay | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
for a service after a free trial has ended. | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
What tends to happen is people sign up in good faith for a free trial | :33:04. | :33:07. | |
or a one-off discount only to then find as a result of incredibly | :33:08. | :33:14. | |
complex terms and conditions that they end up having money taken | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
out of their account without their knowledge for things | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
I think it is a good decision for the government to act. | :33:21. | :33:25. | |
Britain wouldn't be legally obliged to pay a final budget contribution | :33:26. | :33:28. | |
That's according to a group of cross-party peers. | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
But the House of Lords study suggests a payment may be | :33:33. | :33:35. | |
politically necessary to reach an agreement on the UK's withdrawal. | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
It's been reported the EU may demand a "divorce bill" of up | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
Downing Street has described the report as a "significant | :33:42. | :33:44. | |
Reports from France suggest the owner of Peugeot and Citroen has | :33:45. | :33:54. | |
reached an agreement to buy Vauxhall. | :33:55. | :33:56. | |
The deal has been subject to three weeks of talks | :33:57. | :33:58. | |
between General Motors and the PSA group. | :33:59. | :34:00. | |
The new owners have reportedly promised there'll be no UK job | :34:01. | :34:03. | |
Schools in England are to get a share of ?215 million to improve | :34:04. | :34:12. | |
facilities for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. | :34:13. | :34:14. | |
Ministers say the money can be spent on specialised classrooms | :34:15. | :34:17. | |
and resources but not on general day-to-day school budgets. | :34:18. | :34:19. | |
It comes as many local councils complain of a crisis | :34:20. | :34:22. | |
One teaching union has described the new money as just a drop | :34:23. | :34:26. | |
in the ocean but the government insists it will make a difference. | :34:27. | :34:40. | |
I know of one head teacher who spoke to me who said just a small and | :34:41. | :34:46. | |
Mount of capital investment can have a huge impact. It could be putting a | :34:47. | :34:50. | |
lift into the school, it could be putting a kitchen, enhancing | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
specialism in the classroom, so these are really important parts of | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
investing in those children who have every right to have a great | :34:58. | :34:59. | |
education as any other. Later we'll ask a special education | :35:00. | :35:00. | |
needs charity how pupils may benefit from the money, and whether it goes | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
far enough to address Sir Bruce Forsyth has | :35:04. | :35:06. | |
reportedly returned home, after spending five | :35:07. | :35:15. | |
nights in intensive care. The 89-year-old was being treated | :35:16. | :35:17. | |
for a severe chest infection. In a statement released | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
by his agent, Sir Bruce said he wanted to "say a special thank | :35:21. | :35:22. | |
you to all the NHS doctors, nurses and staff" for their | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
"kindness and care". All the best to him, | :35:27. | :35:37. | |
and other show biz news. Disney has released the first photo | :35:38. | :35:40. | |
of the new-look Mary Poppins. More than 50 years after | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
Julie Andrews played the dancing nanny, Emily Blunt will be | :35:44. | :35:46. | |
donning her navy coat and patterned carpet bag for the sequel, | :35:47. | :35:49. | |
Mary Poppins Returns, which is due to be released | :35:50. | :35:51. | |
on Christmas Day next year. Those are the main | :35:52. | :35:54. | |
stories this morning. Where is the umbrella? Oh, there we | :35:55. | :36:04. | |
go. That is such a good film, isn't it? It invites our interest. Will | :36:05. | :36:12. | |
you actually go and watch it, though? Can there be any other? That | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
is a good point. I don't think I will go and watch | :36:18. | :36:24. | |
it. Mary Poppins is Julie Andrews and Michael Banks, the little boy | :36:25. | :36:27. | |
with the pudding bowl haircut and... Yeah. Oh, I wish we were at home | :36:28. | :36:33. | |
watching it now, it just makes you want to get under the duvet... | :36:34. | :36:36. | |
Talking about not getting enough sleep, come on, guys. We love as in | :36:37. | :36:43. | |
a job, really. We're talking about cricket, and a great win in the West | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
Indies - wouldn't that be nice, a trip to the West Indies to play a | :36:49. | :36:51. | |
few one-dayers. England beat West Indies by 45 runs | :36:52. | :36:53. | |
in the first one-day And captain Eoin Morgan | :36:54. | :36:56. | |
was inspirational, hitting a century as England set their hosts | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
a victory target of 297. Chris Woakes and Liam Plunkett did | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
the damage in the reply, So, England are 1-0 up | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
in the three match series, with the second game | :37:06. | :37:09. | |
tomorrow at the same ground. Andy Murray said it | :37:10. | :37:12. | |
wasn't the best match but victory over Lucas Pouille | :37:13. | :37:14. | |
took him through to the final Murray admitted his legs were a bit | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
tired after his quarter-final against Philipp Kohlschriber, | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
which included a tie-break of over half an hour, but he beat | :37:22. | :37:24. | |
Pouille in straight sets and he'll face Fernando | :37:25. | :37:27. | |
Verdasco in today's final. I have had some big wins this week, | :37:28. | :37:41. | |
so it will be a tricky match, because he is a leftie and he goes | :37:42. | :37:45. | |
for his shots. He has a lot of power, a lot of talent in his hands, | :37:46. | :37:50. | |
so I would try, you know, try to dictate as many points as I can | :37:51. | :37:53. | |
because when he is on the baseline moving the ball at it is very tough. | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
After last weekend's League Cup final, it's back to a full weekend | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
Liverpool-Arsenal at tea-time is the big one. | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
And in the lunchtime kickoff, the winners of that League Cup | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
final, Manchester United, take on struggling Bournemouth, | :38:07. | :38:08. | |
who've gone seven matches without a win in the league. | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
We are excited by this game. I think we can only be positive and only | :38:12. | :38:19. | |
look to the future in a positive way. Certainly there is no other way | :38:20. | :38:23. | |
to approach this game or any other game. We are as confident as we can | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
be with a lot of fixtures. We know that a win is needed to fully feel | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
good about ourselves and hopefully that's not far away. | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
We know that Liverpool players our style, which is one of these | :38:35. | :38:42. | |
weekends that you know the sure that somebody is going to lose points, so | :38:43. | :38:52. | |
we should win against Bournemouth. But Bournemouth is a very tricky | :38:53. | :38:54. | |
team, very dangerous team. It's Scottish Cup quarter-final day, | :38:55. | :38:57. | |
with Rangers against Hamilton Academical in the 12:30pm | :38:58. | :38:59. | |
kickoff and Hibs versus Ayr at 3pm. British athlete Andrew Pozzi has won | :39:00. | :39:02. | |
the first major title of his career, taking gold in the 60-metres hurdles | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
at the European Indoor Pozzi has been hit by a series | :39:07. | :39:08. | |
of injuries but said that through the "toughest times | :39:09. | :39:12. | |
and darkest days" he always believed I knew it was tight. I thought I may | :39:13. | :39:28. | |
have got it but I wasn't sure, so I didn't want to, you know, celebrate | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
until I saw it. At no, I was over the moon. It was a scrappy ways but | :39:33. | :39:37. | |
I had to work hard to get over the line but, you know, a win is a win, | :39:38. | :39:39. | |
so I am really happy. -- race. Laura Muir has promised | :39:40. | :39:43. | |
to bring her A game, She won her heat in the 1500-metres | :39:44. | :39:45. | |
to make today's final, and she also goes in the 3,000 | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
metres final tomorrow, after pacing herself | :39:51. | :39:53. | |
and finishing fifth in that heat. This morning it was quite difficult, | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
obviously, we can't all qualify, there is no point wasting energy | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
when you don't need to, and I looked at the Times and I knew that I was | :40:03. | :40:06. | |
safe, just came through with enough room to qualify. Today I didn't want | :40:07. | :40:10. | |
to finish outside the top two, so I did enough to qualify. | :40:11. | :40:12. | |
In rugby union's Premiership, Exeter moved to within one point | :40:13. | :40:15. | |
of the leaders Wasps with a big win over Leicester. | :40:16. | :40:18. | |
It was pretty wet at Welford Road but the Chiefs managed a bonus-point | :40:19. | :40:21. | |
victory - 34-15 the score - they haven't lost now | :40:22. | :40:24. | |
In last night's other game Northampton beat Sale 32-12. | :40:25. | :40:28. | |
Ospreys have moved to the top of the Pro 12 table with a narrow | :40:29. | :40:32. | |
Josh Matavesi touched down for the only try of the game, | :40:33. | :40:35. | |
That's five defeats in a row for Edinburgh. | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
There were also wins for Ulster and Connacht. | :40:40. | :40:41. | |
In Super League, Wakefield Trinity won for the first time | :40:42. | :40:44. | |
They beat St Helens 16-12 - this great finish from | :40:45. | :40:48. | |
Mason Kate-on-Brown helped them on their way - | :40:49. | :40:50. | |
it was given, and that was their first victory over | :40:51. | :40:52. | |
-- Wigan beat Leigh 20-0 in last night's other game. | :40:53. | :41:10. | |
After all the talk, some of it not too pleasant, | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
Tony Bellew and David Haye will go head to head tonight - | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
Bellew, the world cruiserweight champion, is fighting for the first | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
And he was nearly a stone lighter than Haye on the scales. | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
He is prepared and ready to perform for the two round fight. He should | :41:28. | :41:36. | |
never be that weight. He has manufactured heavyweight. He is not | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
really a heavyweight right now. Not in a million years. Up there he | :41:41. | :41:43. | |
looks fantastic. When you get close to him he is trembling. He is | :41:44. | :41:49. | |
trembling. And he is just... He doesn't... He is not as confident | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
and he does not believe the things he is saying. I look at him, he is | :41:54. | :41:55. | |
actually trembling. I was hoping he would look a little | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
bit more physically impressive. You know, some type of remnants of | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
abdominal muscles or some sort, but he looked very smooth, he didn't | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
look good in my opinion, so it doesn't bode well for him. You know, | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
I have knocked out guys and a lot bigger, stronger and more athletic | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
than him, so I don't see what he can do other than just get smashed. | :42:18. | :42:20. | |
I tell you what, it will be so nice to have this fight over and done | :42:21. | :42:26. | |
with so we don't have to listen to them talking nonsense any longer. | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
They did about three or four press conferences and they have just been | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
filed to each other. They don't look like they believe what they have | :42:35. | :42:37. | |
been saying, either of them, do you think? I remember when Haye called | :42:38. | :42:43. | |
out Bellew when he stood in the ring. And I remember the rumour at | :42:44. | :42:47. | |
the time that they are quite good friends. I don't know if it is true. | :42:48. | :42:52. | |
There will be people in the world of boxing who are saying, nonsense, you | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
don't know what you are talking about. That is the rumour. They have | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
planned the fight for ages. They are actually good friends. It could all | :43:01. | :43:03. | |
be a complete act. It is all part of the theatre. Well, we are not going | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
to fall for it, we are not going to give them any airtime at all. Not at | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
all. LAUGHTER See you soon with the clips. Absolutely. | :43:15. | :43:17. | |
His works already adorn walls the world over, | :43:18. | :43:19. | |
now the elusive graffiti artist Banksy has gone a step further | :43:20. | :43:22. | |
and opened a hotel next to Israel's separation barrier in Bethlehem | :43:23. | :43:25. | |
which cuts through the occupied West Bank. | :43:26. | :43:27. | |
It's a hotel with a political message and is proving | :43:28. | :43:30. | |
a controversial addition to the city's tourist itinerary | :43:31. | :43:32. | |
as Alex Forsyth has been finding out. | :43:33. | :43:34. | |
Steeped in irony - an artist's take on the grand hotels | :43:35. | :43:37. | |
This one claims to have the worst view in the world. | :43:38. | :43:44. | |
The concrete slabs of the barrier Israel has built in and around | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
the occupied West Bank are just feet away. | :43:50. | :43:52. | |
This hotel as much a political statement as a new business. | :43:53. | :43:56. | |
Inside, echoes of an English gentlemen's club. | :43:57. | :44:00. | |
Banksy's critical view of life under Israeli occupation, | :44:01. | :44:06. | |
designed to persuade visitors of the Palestinians' plight. | :44:07. | :44:16. | |
As you lay down in your bed and you will look at the wall | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
and you will look at the paintings all around you, and you will see | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
the agony and the images of what could be a different future. | :44:24. | :44:27. | |
And I believe that's the best mobilisation message for people | :44:28. | :44:29. | |
The elusive artist has left his mark on the West Bank before. | :44:30. | :44:36. | |
There's even a shop selling his merchandise in Bethlehem. | :44:37. | :44:38. | |
His provocative art - not always popular - | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
When Banksy's work first appeared here in the West Bank and then | :44:42. | :44:46. | |
in Gaza, there was some concern he was depicting Palestinians | :44:47. | :44:49. | |
as downtrodden, and some criticism in that by painting on the wall | :44:50. | :44:52. | |
he was somehow normalising it, even making a feature out of it. | :44:53. | :45:01. | |
And from an Israeli perspective, undermining something they see | :45:02. | :45:03. | |
The architects of the controversial separation barrier have always | :45:04. | :45:10. | |
We had so many terror attacks from the West Bank | :45:11. | :45:24. | |
And even these days, there is still terrorists, | :45:25. | :45:30. | |
that are trying to cross from the West Bank to Israel | :45:31. | :45:33. | |
But for critics the barrier is an infringement on freedom, | :45:34. | :45:37. | |
a reason to protest, and now, an experience to pay for, | :45:38. | :45:40. | |
with prices from tens, to hundreds of pounds a night, | :45:41. | :45:43. | |
Here is Sarah with a look at this morning's weather. | :45:44. | :45:52. | |
And a gorgeous picture of Whitby. I love Whitby. Good morning to you. As | :45:53. | :46:03. | |
picture was taken yesterday. We have some big shower clouds, rainbows | :46:04. | :46:06. | |
around as well and some similar scenes like this across parts of the | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
country today. There are certainly more showers in the forecast, you | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
won't be too surprised to hear that. The unsettled him to the weather | :46:15. | :46:17. | |
continues through the weekend but don't write the weekend. Most of us | :46:18. | :46:21. | |
will see a bit of dry and bright weather either today or through | :46:22. | :46:24. | |
tomorrow. This area of low pressure is in charge of our weather, sitting | :46:25. | :46:32. | |
out towards western parts of the UK. Quite a slow-moving area of low | :46:33. | :46:35. | |
pressure, bringing spells of rain and hill snow across Scotland and | :46:36. | :46:37. | |
Northern Ireland. Wet weather overnight across Northern Ireland. | :46:38. | :46:41. | |
This band of hill snow still with us at 9am, brisk easterly winds for | :46:42. | :46:44. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland will see a return to showery weather as | :46:45. | :46:48. | |
we go through the course of the day but a good deal of dry weather | :46:49. | :46:51. | |
across much of England and Wales. The far east seeing some spells of | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
rain at times and towards the west you have these showers piling in. | :46:56. | :46:58. | |
These showers towards western parts of England and Wales could be really | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
quite heavy, some thunderstorms and strong winds and extent as well. For | :47:03. | :47:06. | |
the bulk of England and Wales you can see the slice of dry weather | :47:07. | :47:09. | |
through most of the country lasting through the day. Some dry and bright | :47:10. | :47:13. | |
weather but Scotland will hold onto that rain as pushes its way further | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
north through the course of the day and for Northern Ireland some heavy | :47:18. | :47:19. | |
and thundery showers, temperatures around seven to 12 degrees. In terms | :47:20. | :47:25. | |
of our Premier League football action, Manchester and Leicester | :47:26. | :47:27. | |
should be largely dry but the Liverpool versus Arsenal we are | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
seeing more showers rolling in from the west. Low pressure stays with us | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
overnight tonight and on into Sunday, a lull in the weather for a | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
time, it does quieten down and through the day tomorrow we will see | :47:41. | :47:43. | |
this frontal system pushing west to east across much of England and | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
Wales, a spell of wet weather, then some sunshine, and further heavy | :47:48. | :47:52. | |
showers rolling in towards the west. Blustery as well but for central and | :47:53. | :47:55. | |
northern parts of Scotland will be a better day. More in the way of | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
sunshine through the day. The unsettled theme continues as we look | :48:00. | :48:02. | |
ahead into the new working week but we will start to some slightly drier | :48:03. | :48:06. | |
and quieter weather in towards the middle part of the week. Thank you | :48:07. | :48:09. | |
very much, we will see you in a bit. We will be back with | :48:10. | :48:11. | |
the headlines at 7:00am. Now it is time for Click, | :48:12. | :48:14. | |
with Spencer Kelly. We are about to put a whole new spin | :48:15. | :48:16. | |
on the world of mobiles. We are at the Mobile World | :48:17. | :48:34. | |
Congress in Barcelona - the big show devoted to phones, | :48:35. | :48:43. | |
tablets and all things mobile. We're a bit behind schedule, | :48:44. | :48:51. | |
but we're going to get there. Although, if we look a bit | :48:52. | :48:54. | |
distracted, it is because we are preparing for a rather | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
audacious experiment. It is not that we are not interested | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
in the floating displays, connected bus stops, | :49:04. | :49:11. | |
flash cars, smart shoes, It is just that we are about | :49:12. | :49:12. | |
to bash out something Last year, we filmed an entire | :49:13. | :49:18. | |
programme in 360 degrees, allowing those watching in virtual | :49:19. | :49:26. | |
reality to look around the fantastic locations simply by turning | :49:27. | :49:29. | |
their heads or their phones You really feel like you have been | :49:30. | :49:32. | |
teleported into the situation. Not only that, but these days, | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
we also have the ability So imagine that, the next time | :49:39. | :49:41. | |
we send a robot to the moon, if it has a 360 camera on board, | :49:42. | :49:47. | |
then we can all put on a pair of goggles and actually feel | :49:48. | :49:55. | |
like we are there, too. And so that is what we are doing | :49:56. | :49:58. | |
today, getting ready to go Not to the moon, admittedly, | :49:59. | :50:01. | |
but to a place that is still So here we are in the massive | :50:02. | :50:10. | |
Mobile World Congress. Eight enormous halls | :50:11. | :50:15. | |
of madness and noise, as everyone tries to launch | :50:16. | :50:17. | |
their product with maximum pizzazz But these days this event is not | :50:18. | :50:20. | |
just about mobiles, of course. Since you can use a phone as a VR | :50:21. | :50:27. | |
headset, many companies have opted to up the excitement by strapping | :50:28. | :50:36. | |
people in and hurling them about. Yes, folks, VR can be totally | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
immersive, if you have your And I don't even want to think | :50:40. | :50:42. | |
what kind of experience this But going live in 360 is less | :50:43. | :50:52. | |
about the headset and more about the kind of camera equipment | :50:53. | :50:58. | |
you can and cannot use. You are currently watching me | :50:59. | :51:00. | |
through a Nokia Ozo, which is a professional 360 camera | :51:01. | :51:03. | |
with a professional pricetag to boot - about 45,000 US dollars, | :51:04. | :51:08. | |
or 40,000 euros. It has eight lenses all around | :51:09. | :51:11. | |
the sphere, which means not only can you can see in all directions, | :51:12. | :51:19. | |
but it can also shoot in 3-D because that combination of lenses | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
allows it to process What is really weird is it has this | :51:24. | :51:25. | |
enormous battery pack at the back, which you think would be in shot, | :51:26. | :51:33. | |
but actually this thing has a blind And what they so is they just get | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
that almost-360 view and stretch it Modern 360 cameras will stitch | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
the scene together themselves in real time, automatically | :51:43. | :51:46. | |
wrapping that weird, warped video into a sphere around | :51:47. | :51:48. | |
your head, and that is what enables Now, if you wanted to stream | :51:49. | :51:51. | |
the full 360 view from the Ozo, you are going to need | :51:52. | :51:59. | |
some extract kit. Two dedicated hardware boxes, | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
and an internet upload speed And, at a trade show like this, | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
we are not that lucky. I think we have to accept | :52:08. | :52:19. | |
that it's early days. To get really high-quality, | :52:20. | :52:22. | |
ideally stereoscopic video, so you really can look around | :52:23. | :52:23. | |
and feel a sense of depth, and feel that you're there, | :52:24. | :52:27. | |
is going to take a while. There are bandwidth problems, | :52:28. | :52:30. | |
and just having the equipment that can transmit and that amount | :52:31. | :52:32. | |
of data, so that when you look, the picture gets rendered according | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
to exactly where you're looking. It's going to take a while to get it | :52:37. | :52:38. | |
sorted, but we're starting there. We are going to be doing two lives | :52:39. | :52:43. | |
in 360, testing two different cameras and this is no mean feat | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
because as with last year's 360 show, we are coming to this before | :52:48. | :52:55. | |
the manufacturers have So, to get good pictures, | :52:56. | :52:58. | |
good sound, and a decent bit of interaction with the audience, | :52:59. | :53:05. | |
we are having to hack together various bits of kit, | :53:06. | :53:08. | |
and hope no-one trips over My microphone goes into | :53:09. | :53:11. | |
a transmitter, which goes into a receiver, which goes | :53:12. | :53:14. | |
into a box, which plugs into another box, and then we've got, like, | :53:15. | :53:17. | |
a half a mile of ethernet cable, which is going to a network access | :53:18. | :53:21. | |
point, which is hidden The first 360 camera | :53:22. | :53:24. | |
we are using is the Orah 4i - four lenses which between them | :53:25. | :53:32. | |
can shoot the 360 video Although it is important to note | :53:33. | :53:34. | |
that this is the resolution The viewer only sees a part of this | :53:35. | :53:41. | |
as they look around the scene. At the moment, it's not showing us | :53:42. | :53:48. | |
anything that we want. It's a bit blurry, but we're | :53:49. | :53:51. | |
going to get better. It was our very first attempt, | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
so things were bumpy on the run-up We were supposed to go | :53:56. | :53:58. | |
like -15 minutes ago. That said, it seemed to hang | :53:59. | :54:09. | |
together, and viewers on our YouTube 360 channel got to find out a bit | :54:10. | :54:23. | |
more about a car that's planning Yes, it has a gas turbine engine | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
from the Typhoon Eurofighter. The gas turbine is for your below | :54:28. | :54:33. | |
800mph manoeuvres and then the rockets fire you up, give | :54:34. | :54:47. | |
you the kick to over a thousand. Now, streaming such a high-quality | :54:48. | :54:50. | |
picture takes a lot of data, hence we had to use a fat, | :54:51. | :54:53. | |
wired internet connection But, for our second | :54:54. | :54:56. | |
attempt, we went commando. The Ricoh Theta S is the camera | :54:57. | :55:04. | |
we used to shoot the 360 helicopter It is a small hand-held stick | :55:05. | :55:08. | |
with two fish-eye lenses. Its full view is only 2K, | :55:09. | :55:15. | |
the same as a normal high-def picture, so the part you see | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
in virtual reality is much lower resolution but that does means | :55:20. | :55:28. | |
it is possible to stream the video live over the mobile network, | :55:29. | :55:31. | |
which is what we did, To give them a taste | :55:32. | :55:34. | |
of what it is like to be so close Very soon, Ricoh is releasing | :55:35. | :55:40. | |
the Theta R which has a few upgrades, including more connectors, | :55:41. | :55:51. | |
expandable storage, and it will do the stitching in the camera itself, | :55:52. | :55:56. | |
rather than needing a computer to do For now, though, we were pretty | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
happy with our little experiment, and very soon there will almost | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
certainly be more fully integrated kits, to let us go live in 360 | :56:06. | :56:08. | |
with much less bother. When we went to up a glacier | :56:09. | :56:11. | |
and to the Large Hadron Collider to film those in 360, | :56:12. | :56:15. | |
we used six GoPros strapped together We then had to stitch that | :56:16. | :56:18. | |
footage together manually, using a powerful computer | :56:19. | :56:26. | |
and software, and many, many hours. Well, since then, GoPro | :56:27. | :56:28. | |
has released the Omni, which is a case in | :56:29. | :56:31. | |
which six GoPros fit. It has one remote start | :56:32. | :56:36. | |
for all six cameras, which is good, and it also comes | :56:37. | :56:43. | |
with a box that does And in a couple of months' time, | :56:44. | :56:46. | |
GoPro says it is going to release an update which allows | :56:47. | :56:51. | |
you to do that live. And, if you want to create | :56:52. | :56:53. | |
your own 360 videas, this tiny camera by LiFi plugs | :56:54. | :56:56. | |
into your Android phone. The videos are not live, | :56:57. | :56:58. | |
but the stitching is quick, and you can share it easily | :56:59. | :57:01. | |
on your social networks. Right, what else is hot | :57:02. | :57:04. | |
at this year's MWC? Here's Stephen Beckett | :57:05. | :57:08. | |
with a round-up. Incredibly, at a convention | :57:09. | :57:10. | |
with some of the world's biggest phone manufacturers hawking | :57:11. | :57:15. | |
their newest and shiniest devices, this is the phone that | :57:16. | :57:17. | |
everyone is talking about. Finnish start-up HMD Global has | :57:18. | :57:19. | |
resurrected a scintillating piece of nostalgia, with a reboot | :57:20. | :57:22. | |
of its Nokia 3310. HMD licensed the Nokia phone | :57:23. | :57:24. | |
brand at the end of 2016. The close to indestructible handset, | :57:25. | :57:33. | |
with a seemingly infinite battery life, has been given | :57:34. | :57:35. | |
a new lease of life, with modern curves, jazzy | :57:36. | :57:38. | |
colours and, of course, BlackBerry has also gone back | :57:39. | :57:40. | |
to basics with a new flagship phone It has a physical gesture sensitive | :57:41. | :57:47. | |
keyboard that hides a fingerprint And that is not the only slice | :57:48. | :57:54. | |
of nostalgia here at NWC. Samsung is getting in on the action, | :57:55. | :57:59. | |
too, with this classic Norris pencil, although I would not | :58:00. | :58:02. | |
sharpen this particular one because there is quite a lot | :58:03. | :58:05. | |
of digital stuff in the end, Google would much rather you talk | :58:06. | :58:08. | |
to your devices though, It has announced its personal | :58:09. | :58:13. | |
assistant, Google Home, will finally be available | :58:14. | :58:22. | |
for sale outside of the US, And, in another new attempt | :58:23. | :58:25. | |
to dominate the AI market, the company also said it will roll | :58:26. | :58:29. | |
out its voice-activated digital assistant to all android phones | :58:30. | :58:32. | |
running Marshmallow and Nougat. Until now, it has only been | :58:33. | :58:35. | |
available on Goggle's own Pixel That is, apart from Huawai | :58:36. | :58:38. | |
and Lenovo mobiles. Those are set to use | :58:39. | :58:41. | |
Amazon's Alexa instead. Lenovo's upcoming Moto Z | :58:42. | :58:43. | |
will get its assistance smarts through a snap-on back, | :58:44. | :58:45. | |
which they're calling a moto mod. Others, though, are | :58:46. | :58:48. | |
ditching customisation. LG launched its new flagship G6 | :58:49. | :58:49. | |
phone without the modular capability The company say its customers do not | :58:50. | :58:52. | |
fancy forking out for extra parts. The LG G6 also knocks | :58:53. | :59:00. | |
the traditional aspect ratio out of the park - the screen is 18x9 - | :59:01. | :59:03. | |
twice as tall as wide. Smartphones have | :59:04. | :59:07. | |
traditionally been 16x9. And that's it for the short cut | :59:08. | :59:08. | |

with Steph McGovern and Jon Kay. Victory for the Democratic | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Unionists, but only by a single seat in Northern Ireland's | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Assembly elections. Sinn Fein were the night's big | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
winners with a significant surge of support, as they closed | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
the gap on the DUP. Good morning. | :00:29. | :00:45. | |
It's Saturday, March 4th. We'll be live in Belfast | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
in the next few minutes. Also ahead: Mercedes recalls 75,000 | :00:49. | :00:53. | |

I want to as well. Most of us would see sunshine | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
on Saturday or Sunday. I will have a full forecast | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
for you in about 15 minutes. The Democratic Unionist Party has | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
been narrowly returned as the biggest party in elections | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
for the Northern Ireland Assembly. But the result means they're now | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
just one seat ahead of Sinn Fein, having entered the | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
election ten ahead. The DUP emerged with 28 seats, | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
and Sinn Fein with 27. The parties now have three weeks | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
to establish a government. This report from our Ireland | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
correspondent Chris Buckler If walking out of government | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
was a gamble for Sinn Fein, They increased their share | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
of the vote and narrowed the gap between them and their old coalition | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
partners, the DUP. But the result leaves major | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
questions about the future of power-sharing | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
in Northern Ireland. I said consistently throughout | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
the campaign, Sinn Fein aren't interested in going back | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
to the status quo. The DUP have to fundamentally | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
change their ways and be true to the principles of power-sharing | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
if they want to go back Sinn Fein had called for the DUP | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
leader, Arlene Foster, to step aside as First Minister | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
during a public enquiry When she refused, Sinn Fein | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
left their coalition government, Now there's work to be done and work | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
to quickly mend the relationship, which had been frayed | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
by the discord of this election. But it was some of Stormont's | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
opposition parties that suffered I shall make my statement | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
and leave the stage. The leader of the Ulster Unionists, | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
Mike Nesbitt, stood down It will now be up to the leaders | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
of Sinn Fein and the DUP to draw battlelines in the inevitable | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
negotiations to try to Joining us from Belfast newsroom | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
is our correspondent Gillian Morning to you. What do you make of | :03:41. | :04:05. | |
them, then, the winners and losers? This significantly alters the | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
dynamic of Northern Ireland politics now, because unionist parties for so | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
long, the dominant force in Northern Ireland are now in retreat. Sinn | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
Fein searched ahead. It is now on the heels of the DUP. When it comes | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
to the share in the vote there is something like 0.2% difference | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
between the parties. When they get together and try to form a | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
government next week, it will be interesting to see where the balance | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
of power now lives. The dynamic change in terms of the numbers in | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
the seats and around the table as they try to begin forming that | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
government. What happens next, then, over the next three weeks? If they | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
thought fighting in an assembly election was hard work, they have | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
another think coming, because on Monday they will all go to Stormont, | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
they will be given their new passes and shown their desks on the then | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
they have to get to the business of trying to form government. They have | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
three weeks of talks to try to find common ground. If they can't the | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
Secretary of State at Westminster has three options. He can call for | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
more elections, he can give them more time everything is talking will | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
help, or he can impose direct rule from the Westminster government, | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
that basically means that ministers around the Cabinet in London are | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
running Northern Ireland's affairs with the help of civil servants | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
here. Thank you. More on that this morning. | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Britain wouldn't be legally obliged to pay a final budget contribution | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
That's according to a group of cross-party peers. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Our political correspondent Ellie Price joins us now | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
In terms of what this means, it is complicated, we are talking the | :05:52. | :06:01. | |
small print of Brexit, what does it all mean? If we talk about it as a | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
divorce we are talking about the alimony. Instead of talking about | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
the CD collection and who pays the ongoing battle for the dog, we are | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
talking about things like how much Britain pays to the things in the | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
budget it has signed up for, what contribution should we make to the | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
pensions of EU staff? It is an awful lot of money and one of the numbers | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
at the moment is around 60 billion euros, ?52 billion, although one EU | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
source recently told the BBC that those in the negotiations would be | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
willing to accept something further towards 34 billion euros, ?29 | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
billion. There certainly lots of money. This report from the | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
government is that this report from the government needs to be decided | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
and sorted because ridge wants to have a relationship with the EU | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
after Brexit, so if you sell the relations on this Brexit deal, then | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
you might ruin relationships in the future. It is a complicated one, | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
thank you. Mercedes-Benz is to recall around | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
one-million cars because they're It's because of a fault found | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
within newer models which can cause It's thought around 75,000 cars | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
in the UK could be affected but Mercedes says the risk | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
to customers is small. The models at fault include some A, | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
B, C, and E-class cars as well as Mercedes' CLA, | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
GLA and GLC vehicles. Anyone who's bought a car | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
between 2015 and 2017 could be affected but Mercedes says the risk | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
to customers is small. Mercedes say they're | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
aware of 51 fires so far, but that no deaths or injuries | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
had been recorded. It's thought owners will be | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
contacted later this year. Reports from France suggest | :07:35. | :07:53. | |
the owner of Peugeot and Citroen has reached an agreement | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
to buy Vauxhall. The deal has been subject | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
to three weeks of talks, but there are concerns about what it | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
could mean for the thousands Vauxhall builds the | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Vivaro van at Luton. Around 70,000 rolled off | :08:06. | :08:20. | |
the production line last year. And at Elsemere port | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
about 120,000 Vauxhall Astras As well as those employed directly | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
by GM, thousands more work There are also 15,000 people | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
in the pension scheme at one They have already been told | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
that they will be no worse off under The good news is that the PSA group, | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
which owns Peugeot and Citroen, has promised not to cut any jobs | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
in the UK before 2020, and the future after | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
that is uncertain. PSA's boss Carlo Tavares has already | :08:51. | :09:02. | |
had talks on the phone with the PM There were words but no | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
promises were made. Vauxhall is set to become | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
the second-biggest carmaker There are fears French jobs | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
will come ahead of English ones. The Unite Secretary Len McCluskey | :09:13. | :09:25. | |
has been involved in talks He called Vauxhall a jewel | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
within the crown of GM's Last autumn the government did | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
a deal to keep Nissan in Sunderland. The company was promised free access | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
to European markets whatever PSA may well seek | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
similar assurances. Companies who automatically sign up | :09:39. | :09:48. | |
customers for subscription services without their knowledge face | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
a government crackdown The government will announce plans | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
to help people avoid so-called "subscription traps" | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
by being notified before Hands up how many of us have | :09:58. | :09:58. | |
genuinely read through all of the small print at the end | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
of a contract before we signed Citizens Advice says | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
two thirds of us skim And after a free trial at the gym | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
or some credit checking services, many of us end up unwittingly | :10:18. | :10:27. | |
committing to paying subscriptions for months, which are | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
tricky to get out of. Now the government is consulting | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
on ways to avoid these subscription traps by ensuring consumers | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
are notified clearly and in good time when a payment | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
is about to be taken. The plans also include making | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
the fine print of terms and conditions a lot shorter, | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
larger and clearer. And the government might also | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
give the Competition and Markets Authority extra powers | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
to prosecute rogue companies. People losing hundreds | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
of pounds as a result What tends to happen is people sign | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
up in good faith for a free trial or a one-off discount only to then | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
find as a result of incredibly complex terms and conditions | :11:00. | :11:07. | |
that they end up having money taken out of their account | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
without their knowledge for things I think it's a really good decision | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
for the government to act on this. Even if proposals are brought | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
into law, consumers still need Read contracts and study your bank | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
statements is the message Schools in England are to get | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
a share of ?215 million to improve facilities for pupils with special | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
educational needs and disabilities. Ministers say the money can spent | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
on specialised classrooms and resources, but not on general | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
day-to-day school budgets. It comes as many local councils | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
complain of a crisis One teaching union has described | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
the new money as just a drop in the ocean but the government | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
insists it will make a difference. I know of one head teacher who spoke | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
to me who said just a small amount of capital investment | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
can have a huge impact. It could be putting a lift | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
into the school, it could be putting a kitchen, enhancing | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
specialism in the classroom, so these are really important parts | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
of investing in those children who have every right to have a great | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
education as any other. Later we'll ask a special education | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
needs charity how pupils may benefit from the money, and whether it goes | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
far enough to address Sir Bruce Forsyth has reportedly | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
returned home after spending five The 89-year-old was being treated | :12:24. | :12:36. | |
for a severe chest infection. In a statement released | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
by his agent, Sir Bruce said he wanted to "say a special thank | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
you to all the NHS doctors, nurses and staff" for their | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
"kindness and care". It's got to be the world's | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
longest pub crawl - one group of friends has visited | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
20,000 boozers over three decades. It wasn't just one | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
night, though, was it? I wonder what they looked | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
like when it started. Since then, the group's co-founder | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
Pete Hill has knocked back - right, wait for | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
this - 46,632 pints. You wouldn't want to know that | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
number, would you, if you were him. Along the way, Mr Hill's collected | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
tens of thousands of pounds for charity by asking for a ?1 | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
donation from each landlord. Well done. My goodness. That is a | :13:36. | :13:48. | |
force to be reckoned with, isn't it? Well-deserved rest. | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
New classrooms and improved resources - the promise | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
from the government as it unveils a ?215 million cash injection | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
Ministers say the money will be spent on improving facilities | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
for children with special educational needs and disabilities. | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
But one teaching union has described the funding as just a drop | :14:08. | :14:10. | |

Thank you for joining us on Breakfast this morning. ?215 | :14:18. | :14:28. | |
million, how much difference can that may? I think it has the | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
potential to make quite a difference for children and young people with | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
high levels of need while recognising that once split across | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
local authorities and the many different schools there is a limit | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
to how much each school will receive an benefit from. Going through this | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
it says 215 million altogether, and that means every council it in | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
England will get half ?1 million. If you think about the number of | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
schools, it isn't going to go too far, is it? That is a really good | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
point, but what's important is for local areas to work strategically | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
and to really involve not just children and young people and their | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
parents and carers in decisions to make about how to spend this money | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
but also look at how to do that strategically across schools so they | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
can work together to look at areas of need rather than individual | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
schools' needs perhaps to spend the money in the best way to look at | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
meeting the needs of that area. The minister a couple of minutes ago was | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
talking about a school that might be able to put in a lift or something | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
like that to give improved access to other parts of the buildings but it | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
can cost tens of thousands of pounds in one school alone, can't it? | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
Absolutely, and that is why it is important to look at needs in areas | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
and for leaders in education to make decisions about how to support needs | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
across the area. And absolutely, looking at the fact that funding can | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
be spend on things like increasing places for specialist units, so some | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
schools have special provision attached to the school for specific | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
need, and this can be used to improve Delmer increase places, and | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
those decisions need to be made across an area, not single school at | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
single school decision levels of white we have talked a lot in | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
Breakfast about funding and education. We have heard from | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
teachers and pupils that there isn't enough money at the moment for | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
basics like orcs and printing paper and that kind of thing. You think | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
that is where the money should be spent, really, that would be better | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
for more kids? -- books. No, we need to absolutely welcome the fact that | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
the funding is targeted at children and young people with high levels of | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
need. And this is a group for whom any kind of extra funding would be | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
really, really welcomed in schools, most definitely. And, I mean, how | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
much money beyond the 200 million is really needed to make our school | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
building is truly access a ball, truly usable, by every pupil? I | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
think that is really difficult to ants and all schools are well aware | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
of how to develop accessibility -- accessible. That is what they have | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
to do, produce and accessibility plan, so they will look at that, and | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
there are wider needs in terms is to short education, certainly, not just | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
youngsters with a high level of need that we see this funding targeted | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
towards, looking at supporting teachers to meet the needs of all | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
children and young people in their classrooms day to day and that is an | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
area which would also benefit from extra funding for teachers learning, | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
teachers CPD, continuing professional development. Thank you | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
very much indeed for joining us on Breakfast. | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
Here is Sarah with a look at this morning's weather. | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
A lovely picture, and it seems that unsettled is the Word of the day. | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
That's it, and this was taken yesterday in St Ives, in Cornwall. | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
We will see some pretty big shower clouds like this one again across | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
many parts of the country today but not everywhere. Some of us will be | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
lucky enough to see some dry and sunny weather. Low pressure is well | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
and truly in charge of our weather, sitting out across more westerly | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
parts of the UK and we have these fairly slow-moving weather front so | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
some pretty heavy rain across parts of Scotland, hill snow as well. The | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
heaviest rain clearing out of Northern Ireland. We will not just | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
have wet and snowy weather on top of the hills but also a risk northerly | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
wind blowing across the eastern part of Scotland. For Northern Ireland a | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
return to heavy showers after the more persistent rain but for the | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
bulk of England and Wales a lot of dry weather away from coastal areas. | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
The far east coast in the far west of England and parts of Wales will | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
see showery rain, some of them heavy and blustery with some gale force | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
will just of wind across the south-west of England and Wales as | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
well. Away from the coast, much of England and Wales and southern | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
Scotland later on does look largely dry with milky sunshine breaking | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
through. Further heavy showers rolling in from the west later in | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
the day with some thunderstorms likely as well. Temperatures around | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
seven or eight degrees in the north, quite chilly, but we could see ten | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
to 12 further south. Some football games happening today, should be dry | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
in Manchester and Liverpool, but the chance of some showers later in the | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
day. This area of low pressure is still worth with us through the | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
second half of the weekend. Some quieter weather but then through the | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
day on Sunday we are going to see this frontal system moving its way | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
west to east across really the bulk of England and Wales. All of us | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
across England and Wales should see a spell of wet weather. Scotland | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
having a dry day tomorrow, a better day compared with today. Seven or | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
eight degrees, still pretty chilly. Further heavy showers and a really | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
unsettled picture, all in all, but some of us will see some sunshine in | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
between those showers. Looking ahead through Monday and Tuesday, some | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
unsettled weather particularly towards the north and west but | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
further south we will start to see some drier and eventually some | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
brighter weather through the middle of the week. Thank you very much. | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
We have followed their story from the very start, | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
the four mums who made history by rowing across the Atlantic Ocean, | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
They are known as the Yorkshire Rows, and now their extraordinary | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been catching up with them. | :20:09. | :20:20. | |
They were the four ordinary mums who had had an extraordinary dream. And | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
now, to match their place in the record books, a book launch of their | :20:29. | :20:38. | |
very own. Let's recap, shall we? This was the moment they set a world | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
record, the moment they conquered an ocean. And what a journey it had | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
been. Yorkshire Rows had laughed and danced their way across the | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
Atlantic, or so we thought. You never told us that the time, but | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
there had been a huge row onboard the boat. Was that ask? Well, I had | :20:58. | :21:07. | |
been rowing non-stop for two hours. I then finished a shift, it needed a | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
week, was in mid- flow on the bucket and skipper here told me to get off | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
the bucket. -- wee. When a girl has to go, skipper, a girl has to go. | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
Yes, but we were in immediate danger. There are other revelations | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
as well. The secret Crush. Yes. Mike Bushell! It is all coming out now. | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
They haven't stopped, from the moment the ore is went down. There | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
have been invitations to the palace, mixed with royalty, they have mixed | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
with celebrity, they have become celebrity. -- oars. The documentary | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
about you is winning international film competitions, I hear. Yes, yes. | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
So you went to Munich. Yes, we did. I went to New York, we got a | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
standing ovation. I went to Leeds. Their story has spread from | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
Yorkshire around the world, as has their inspiration, which is why we | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
have arranged a surprise visit for them. Do a little term. These ladies | :22:16. | :22:33. | |
have been inspired to do exactly the same row after seeing them on | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
Breakfast. When I saw them I thought those ladies look just like me, and | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
if they can do it then there is no reason why I shouldn't do it. These | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
are the ladies who are going to take our record. So it was Yorkshire Rows | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
past the Basson to the Atlantic ladies. Is it time for them to put | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
up their feet? -- baton. Not on your Nellie. Niki and I are doing a | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
six-day ultra marathon across the Sahara desert. Are you crazy? No, | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
just got to dream big. But the dream big. Nothing can stop them. Go | :23:17. | :23:17. | |
Yorkshire. Yorkshire Rows Two, the sequel, and | :23:18. | :23:33. | |
three! I like that they have inspired others to have a go, | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
because they look like me. I remember the first time they came in | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
and sat here, and it was a great story, we wondered if they were | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
actually going to do it, and they kept going and going. Shall we look | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
through some of the front pages and some of the papers. The Daily Mirror | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
saying that Bruce Forsyth is back home after being in intensive care | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
for a couple of days, telling friends that the NHS saved his life. | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
If we look at the Daily Mail, the story they are following in the | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
paper is about the parents of a child who is very ill, and their | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
mother last night told of the nightmare of being given a month to | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
save her baby's life. Seven months old today, and desperately ill, and | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
doctors said he should be allowed to die. The Sun's front page of a story | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
about a robbery at the former England captain's house, and they | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
are investigating the theory that he was robbed after putting pictures on | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
social media of himself away on holiday skiing, possibly giving | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
robbers the clue the house was empty and unattended. Like Kim Kardashian | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
in putting pictures of her jewels, and then they get stolen. The Times | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
has a picture of Alexis Sanchez, playing Arsenal later today. A | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
massive game in the Premier league. Also an interesting piece down the | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
bottom. They are planning to change the rules of penalty shootouts | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
because they have done a study which shows that 60% of penalty shootouts | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
are won by the team that takes the first penalty kick, so they are not | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
very fair. 60%. 60% of the time that goes first win the penalty shootout | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
so they are going to try and make it more like a tennis tiebreak on the | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
first player leaves one point, the next player placed to, and they mix | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
it up a bit -- next player plays two. It affects other sports, hockey | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
as well, anything which has penalties you have to think about | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
mixing it up everybody. Have you got any advice about what you do to make | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
sure you get to sleep? Just don't think about stuff. That is the time | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
when I can sleep, when your head is full of stuff and it is all buzzing | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
around, you just need to somehow... I don't know how, but that is the | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
moment when I can't sleep. When there is a list of things. Maybe a | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
pad at the dead you could write it down and then you don't -- had by | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
the bed. There is a reason we are talking | :26:01. | :26:12. | |
about this. I thought you had had a bad night! We are talking about in | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
particular parents struggling to get their kids to sleep. | :26:22. | :26:22. | |
It is a problem parents tackle every night up and down the country - | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
how to make sure your children get a good night's sleep. | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
A Panorama investigation has found a big rise in the number | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
of youngsters being admitted to hospital with sleep disorders. | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
But getting into a good routine can be tough, | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
as parents of toddler Elise have been finding out. | :26:38. | :28:08. | |
A lot of people feeling the pain of that household this morning. Getting | :28:09. | :28:16. | |
in touch in the usual ways as well. Xena in London has e-mailed them, | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
saying her one-year-old gets to sleep at 7pm and her advice to | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
struggling parent is to start routine early as early as you can. | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
She says no matter how young your baby is, start the way you mean to | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
go on. Terry has been in touch, he is a grandad and he says to get his | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
grandson to sleep he just reads a book, and eventually he would be | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
fast asleep and so would I. You have to be careful you don't fall asleep | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
while the child are still awake, been there. Stevens says no screen | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
time for at least an hour before bedtime, and comforting toys. Ross | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
on Facebook says the super high-quality kids audio book with a | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
video of the book is his suggestion, which goes against the idea of not | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
having a screen. You could just watch Breakfast on repeat. Are you | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
suggesting we are boring and we put children to sleep? Back on Facebook | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
says my children don't have TV in their bedroom, -- Bec. Stella, who | :29:20. | :29:27. | |
has nine children, says the first and last were a nightmare. With nine | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
children in the house it must be absolute pandemonium trying to get | :29:33. | :29:35. | |
them to sleep. From the age of nine months they would not get to sleep. | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
Kids are all different, there isn't a magic solution. I think that is | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
really good point, kids are all different. Steve switches off the | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
internet at 10pm, much to his daughter's discussed. They have got | :29:48. | :29:49. | |
over it and they have gone to sleep. You can see Panorama: | :29:50. | :29:52. | |
Sleepless Britain at 8:30pm Thank you for those messages you | :29:53. | :29:55. | |
have sent in this morning. Coming up in the next half-hour: | :29:56. | :30:06. | |
Ending "pyjama paralysis". We will meet the hospital staff | :30:07. | :30:08. | |
encouraging patients to get out of their bedclothes, | :30:09. | :30:11. | |
because it helps them get We are talking about going to bed, | :30:12. | :30:21. | |
and then we are talking about get your pyjamas off? | :30:22. | :30:21. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Jon Kay and Steph McGovern. | :30:22. | :30:48. | |
Coming up before 8am, Sarah will have your full | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
But first at 7:30am, a summary of this morning's main news. | :30:51. | :30:56. | |
The Democratic Unionist Party narrowly remains the largest party | :30:57. | :30:58. | |
in Northern Ireland after a snap election. | :30:59. | :31:00. | |
But the result means they're now just one seat ahead of Sinn Fein, | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
having entered the election ten ahead. | :31:05. | :31:05. | |
The DUP emerged with 28 seats, and Sinn Fein with 27. | :31:06. | :31:08. | |
The parties now have three weeks to establish a government. | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
Companies that use confusing small print to mislead customers face | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
Plans include making sure consumers are notified before a payment | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
is taken and simplifying small print. | :31:20. | :31:20. | |
Citizens Advice says two thirds of people skim through terms | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
and conditions without reading them, meaning they get caught | :31:24. | :31:28. | |
in a "subscription trap," not realising they may have to pay | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
for a service after a free trial has ended. | :31:32. | :31:44. | |
Britain might be legally obliged to pay a final budget contribution | :31:45. | :31:47. | |
That's according to a group of cross-party peers. | :31:48. | :31:51. | |
But the House of Lords study suggests a payment may be | :31:52. | :31:54. | |
politically necessary to reach an agreement on the UK's withdrawal. | :31:55. | :31:57. | |
It's been reported the EU may demand a "divorce bill" of up | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
Reports from France suggest the owner of Peugeot and Citroen has | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
reached an agreement to buy Vauxhall. | :32:06. | :32:13. | |
The deal has been subject to three weeks of talks | :32:14. | :32:15. | |
between General Motors and the PSA group. | :32:16. | :32:20. | |
The new owners have reportedly promised there'll be no UK job | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
Schools in England are to get a share of ?215 million to improve | :32:25. | :32:32. | |
facilities for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. | :32:33. | :32:35. | |
Ministers say the money can be spent on specialised classrooms | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
and resources but not on general day-to-day school budgets. | :32:39. | :32:40. | |
It comes as many local councils complain of a crisis | :32:41. | :32:43. | |
One teaching union has described the new money as just a drop | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
in the ocean but the government insists it will make a difference. | :32:48. | :32:51. | |
I know of one head teacher who spoke to me who said just a small amount | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
of capital investment can have a huge impact. | :32:56. | :32:57. | |
It could be putting a lift into the school, it could be putting | :32:58. | :33:01. | |
a kitchen, enhancing specialism in the classroom, | :33:02. | :33:03. | |
so these are really important parts of investing in those children | :33:04. | :33:06. | |
who have every right to have a great education as any other. | :33:07. | :33:14. | |
Sir Bruce Forsyth has reportedly returned home after spending five | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
The 89-year-old was being treated for a severe chest infection. | :33:18. | :33:21. | |
In a statement released by his agent, Sir Bruce said | :33:22. | :33:23. | |
he wanted to "say a special thank you to all the NHS doctors, | :33:24. | :33:27. | |
nurses and staff" for their "kindness and care". | :33:28. | :33:29. | |
All the best to him, and other show biz news. | :33:30. | :33:37. | |
Disney has released the first photo of the new-look Mary Poppins. | :33:38. | :33:46. | |
More than 50 years after Julie Andrews played the dancing | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
nanny, Emily Blunt will be donning her navy coat and patterned | :33:50. | :33:52. | |
carpet bag for the sequel, Mary Poppins Returns, | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
which is due to be released on Christmas Day next year. | :33:57. | :34:19. | |
There you go. So not even Christmas Day this year. That's ages. In a | :34:20. | :34:32. | |
year's time they will reveal another picture. From a slightly different | :34:33. | :34:37. | |
angle. Who goes to the cinema on Christmas Day? In America. Straight | :34:38. | :34:44. | |
to the films. Obviously straight to the films on the sofa after turkey, | :34:45. | :34:50. | |
sure, but not the cinema on Christmas Day. Yes, that would be | :34:51. | :34:56. | |
weird, wouldn't it? We're gonna talk about the cricket, a good day for | :34:57. | :35:00. | |
England in the West Indies, and a trip to the West Indies would be | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
lovely right now. Not on Christmas Day? They play all around Christmas, | :35:04. | :35:09. | |
they spend so long way from home, it is remarkable, what they give in | :35:10. | :35:13. | |
terms of their personal life for their sport. | :35:14. | :35:14. | |
England beat West Indies by 45 runs in the first one-day | :35:15. | :35:17. | |
And captain Eoin Morgan was inspirational, hitting a century | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
as England set their hosts a victory target of 297. | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
Chris Woakes and Liam Plunkett did the damage in the reply, | :35:24. | :35:26. | |
So, England are 1-0 up in the three match series, | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
with the second game tomorrow at the same ground. | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
Andy Murray said it wasn't the best match but victory over Lucas Pouille | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
took him through to the final of the Dubai Championships. | :35:38. | :35:40. | |
Murray admitted his legs were a bit tired after his quarter-final | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
against Philipp Kohlschriber, which included a tie-break of over | :35:44. | :35:45. | |
half an hour, but he beat Pouille in straight sets and he'll face | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
I've had some big wins this week, so it will be a tricky match, | :35:50. | :35:58. | |
because he is a leftie and he goes for his shots. | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
He has a lot of power, a lot of talent in his hands, | :36:02. | :36:04. | |
so I would try, you know, try to dictate as many points | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
as I can, because when he's on the baseline moving the ball | :36:09. | :36:11. | |
British athlete Andrew Pozzi has won the first major title of his career, | :36:12. | :36:22. | |
taking gold in the 60-metres hurdles at the European Indoor Championships | :36:23. | :36:25. | |
Pozzi has been hit by a series of injuries but said that | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
through the "toughest times and darkest days" he always believed | :36:30. | :36:31. | |
It means everything. I wasn't sure I would get to the level. To win with | :36:32. | :36:41. | |
grit and determination, I am just over the moon. It really is great. | :36:42. | :36:43. | |
Laura Muir has promised to bring her A game, | :36:44. | :36:46. | |
She won her heat in the 1500-metres to make today's final, | :36:47. | :36:50. | |
and she also goes in the 3,000 metres final tomorrow, | :36:51. | :36:53. | |
after pacing herself and finishing fifth in that heat. | :36:54. | :37:01. | |
After all the talk, some of it not too pleasant, | :37:02. | :37:04. | |
Tony Bellew and David Haye will go head to head tonight - | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
Bellew, the world cruiserweight champion, is fighting for the first | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
And he was nearly a stone lighter than Haye on the scales. | :37:14. | :37:17. | |
He is prepared and ready to perform for the two-round fight. | :37:18. | :37:20. | |
He is not really a heavyweight right now. | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
When you get close to him he is trembling. | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
He is not as confident and he does not believe the things he is saying. | :37:31. | :37:37. | |
I look at him, he is actually trembling. | :37:38. | :37:39. | |
I was hoping he would look a little bit more physically impressive. | :37:40. | :37:42. | |
You know, some type of remnants of abdominal muscles or some sort, | :37:43. | :37:46. | |
but he looked very smooth, he didn't look good in my opinion, | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
You know, I have knocked out guys a lot bigger, | :37:50. | :37:53. | |
stronger and more athletic than him, so I don't see what he can do other | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
Was he trembling? I don't think so. I think in the next hour we will | :37:58. | :38:13. | |
speak with a boxing pundit to get behind all of the trash talked to | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
find out what's actually going on and who is likely to win. OK, thank | :38:18. | :38:20. | |
you very much indeed. Mike has been up to one of his usual | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
interesting sport pieces. It's not normally a good idea, | :38:26. | :38:29. | |
but "ice biking" is becoming a booming sport all over the world, | :38:30. | :38:32. | |
especially in Scandinavia. Now it's arrived in | :38:33. | :38:35. | |
the UK too, so naturally we sent our own Mike | :38:36. | :38:38. | |
Bushell to give it a go. For some of us, ice skating can be a | :38:39. | :38:50. | |
bit of a challenge, unless you do it regularly, well, it can be quite a | :38:51. | :38:56. | |
bit of pain and humiliation without much gani -- gain. Under starters | :38:57. | :39:05. | |
orders and ready to go, one of Scandinavia's popular new sports has | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
arrived on the ice in the UK as well now. On these ice bikes, back wheels | :39:10. | :39:21. | |
have been replaced. Some people are afraid of ice skating and afraid of | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
falling over and giving it a try, this is a lot more inclusive. | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
Everyone can give it a go. You haven't got to worry about falling | :39:30. | :39:32. | |
over or anything like that. Anyone can do it. I have been overtaken | :39:33. | :39:38. | |
again. This takes some getting used to at first. Especially the way you | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
glide around those corners. When that can be contacted in these | :39:43. | :39:47. | |
frantic wheel to wheel touches, these slightest nudge is we'll send | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
you into a spin, even more so in these races held across Scandinavia | :39:53. | :39:55. | |
and the Netherlands in which riders reach speeds of 25 mph. And this | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
sport, which is changing perceptions about cycling on ice, has now spread | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
as far as Mexico as well as in the UK. This really works the legs. You | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
are pedalling furiously to try to get up speed and then you are flying | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
around the corner. Well, what a workout. It is very fast, like, you | :40:14. | :40:18. | |
can lose it quite hard on the corners but it is so much fun to do | :40:19. | :40:23. | |
it. It is a bit like a spin class on ice. In Scandinavia they can hold | :40:24. | :40:27. | |
the longer races on frozen lakes and while Tamworth doesn't have such icy | :40:28. | :40:30. | |
exposure is they do hold a Tour de France - style injury race around | :40:31. | :40:37. | |
the track. It is exciting and new, something you haven't tried before, | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
but the outside of your comfort zone may be an introducing you to things | :40:42. | :40:44. | |
you have never seen before. And no skating skills are required. Think | :40:45. | :40:46. | |
wacky races but a bit of ice. Good for Mike, excellent stuff, and | :40:47. | :40:56. | |
it would explain why he isn't here today. You wonder how many sports | :40:57. | :41:00. | |
they can think of, it is amazing, isn't it. If you are watching in | :41:01. | :41:06. | |
your pyjamas right now, listen up. There is a theory out there that | :41:07. | :41:12. | |
suggest getting out of your pyjamas might make you feel better. It makes | :41:13. | :41:14. | |
you feel more independent. It started off as a simple idea | :41:15. | :41:15. | |
from nurses in Nottingham, and has now turned | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
into a global movement. The "PJ paralysis" campaign | :41:19. | :41:21. | |
encourages patients to get up and dressed as early as possible | :41:22. | :41:23. | |
when staying in hospital. Medical staff say it helps | :41:24. | :41:26. | |
people stay independent Rob Sissons has been | :41:27. | :41:28. | |
finding out more. Forget your own pyjamas when you | :41:29. | :41:40. | |
come to hospital and you end up in this, it NHS uniform, but the | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
concern is that too many patients are spending too long in their | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
pyjamas. They have got a catchphrase for it in the NHS, they call it PJ | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
paralysis. Yes, at Nottingham hospitals they want more patience to | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
get changed into their own clothes. They say they will feel better and | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
also maybe even recover faster as well. On the ward B49 at the Queens | :42:02. | :42:09. | |
medical centre they encourage patients to get out of their | :42:10. | :42:12. | |
bedclothes during the day. I love to get dressed. You feel totally | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
different when you're getting dressed and have a bit of fresh | :42:17. | :42:20. | |
clothes on. I have brought some of my own clothes in but I have a | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
problem because of my leg, getting clothes on and off at the moment. | :42:25. | :42:28. | |
These nurses want to see less of what they call pyjama paralysis at | :42:29. | :42:31. | |
stress patients should always have the choice. Many patients tell us | :42:32. | :42:36. | |
they feel more comfortable in their own clothes to mobilise around the | :42:37. | :42:40. | |
ward, to walk to the dining room. But on the ward PJ paralysis | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
Jacqueline has been in hospital three weeks and has with wearing | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
bedclothes. It is cool and comfortable essentially because it | :42:49. | :42:52. | |
is very warm on these wards, yes, and I just want to relax. And not | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
think about anything. It is about changing a culture and they are so | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
convinced they have started a new wardrobe, some spare donated clothes | :43:04. | :43:05. | |
for any patients that need them. Joining us now is Ann-Marie Riley, | :43:06. | :43:07. | |
Deputy Chief Nurse at She helped get the idea | :43:08. | :43:10. | |
off the ground. Morning to you. We saw a glimpse of | :43:11. | :43:18. | |
you in the peace and you are one of the people who came up with the | :43:19. | :43:23. | |
idea, and it seemed so simple but it can make a big difference to how | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
people feel? It can and what we are trying to do is prevent a range of | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
symptoms happening that are caused not moving around and they are known | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
as the conditioning. You can lose a lot of your muscle strength just by | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
not moving around and one thing you can do is moving around a little bit | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
-- deconditioning. It is a simple way to try to stop some of the | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
symptoms happening. And when you are dressed you feel like getting up and | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
moving around more, don't you, it is not just getting dressed it is | :43:53. | :43:55. | |
taking it on as well. The longer that you are a round in your | :43:56. | :44:00. | |
pyjamas, the less likely you want to get up and do things. If you make | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
the effort to have a shower and wander around, you generally feel | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
better. What has the general reaction been like? It is really | :44:10. | :44:14. | |
positive, it is a choice, no one is forced to get up and get dressed, we | :44:15. | :44:19. | |
offer the choice and if they want to then we will support them. I wonder | :44:20. | :44:22. | |
if you have enough space, if people turn up with great big cases of | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
clothes and evening wear, what are they going to do, it turns into a | :44:28. | :44:32. | |
fashion so, we in hospitals is limited anyway, will they need a | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
wardrobe? We have to manage it in terms of, if people have visitors | :44:37. | :44:41. | |
who can bring small stock regularly, that is fantastic. Some people | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
haven't got anyone to bring clothes in and that is why the wards have | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
started to have donated clothes, so if people want to use them, they are | :44:50. | :44:54. | |
there for them. It is a chance to try out things you don't normally | :44:55. | :44:58. | |
work, especially evening wear, and looking at the different patient | :44:59. | :45:02. | |
reactions, have you seen a change in the age, are the older patients less | :45:03. | :45:07. | |
likely to do it, the younger ones more, anything like that, or | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
across-the-board? We are using the campaign across every age because | :45:13. | :45:15. | |
symptoms you can get FAQ whatever your age but certainly older | :45:16. | :45:18. | |
patients wouldn't normally let people see them in their pyjamas. | :45:19. | :45:22. | |
You remember your grandad or your Nan, they would have a dress on, | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
make up and hair done, they wouldn't have had friends around in their | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
pyjamas, so from a generation point of view I think it is unusual that | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
people would normally sit in pyjamas all day. It is just encouraging them | :45:35. | :45:39. | |
to say, you can weigh your normal clothes. We hear about the pressure | :45:40. | :45:44. | |
in hospital and the dead space. Do some people think you are trying to | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
get them out the door and home quickly? It is not designed for | :45:49. | :45:51. | |
that. If people get home quickly because they have moved around and | :45:52. | :45:55. | |
they don't lose muscle strength, the way they would have done, that is | :45:56. | :45:58. | |
fantastic. Most people don't want to be in hospital, they want to be at | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
home with their families. This is just about stopping some of the | :46:03. | :46:05. | |
symptoms developing and hopefully feel better for it. And you will be | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
here in one hour with us again and I am sure that people have thoughts on | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
this. I bet everyone is sitting at home feeling really guilty. Thank | :46:15. | :46:18. | |
you for getting dressed for us this morning and thank you for coming in. | :46:19. | :46:25. | |
And another person who has managed to get out of their pyjamas and into | :46:26. | :46:31. | |
their clothes for us this morning as Sarah with the weather. There will | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
be storm clouds like this one taken yesterday in Cornwall at St Ives, | :46:36. | :46:40. | |
and today we are set to see heavy showers. Not everywhere, some of us | :46:41. | :46:43. | |
will see dry weather with some sunshine. Low pressures hitting | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
across western parts of the UK bringing us that unsettled theme and | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
a fund bringing heavy rain and hill snow across Scotland, combined with | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
a brisk easterly wind here. Across Scotland we will continue to see the | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
wet weather pushing its way northwards, this is nine a.m.. For | :47:00. | :47:02. | |
Northern Ireland we will have lost a persistent rain but replaced by some | :47:03. | :47:05. | |
heavy, scattered showers and as we have our way across much of England | :47:06. | :47:10. | |
and Wales a lot of dry weather on the cards. The far east likely to | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
see showery rain and the far west, for Wales, down towards Devon and | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
Cornwall as well, some heavy showers on the cards and gale force gusts of | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
wind as well. That windy, showery weather continues across western | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
parts of the country. Much of England and Wales, particularly | :47:26. | :47:28. | |
central and eastern areas, should brighten up a touch as we look into | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
the afternoon and for Scotland that area of rain continues to push | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
northwards. Chilly and windy, seven or eight degrees towards the north | :47:36. | :47:39. | |
whereas further south we could see temperatures of 12 degrees or so. | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
Here is how it looks for some of our football matches. Should be dry in | :47:44. | :47:46. | |
Manchester and Leicester but Liverpool we are likely to see the | :47:47. | :47:51. | |
showers heading in later on in the day. A quieter spell of weather for | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
a time as we move through the overnight period but on into | :47:56. | :47:58. | |
tomorrow you can quickly see this weather front moving in from the | :47:59. | :48:01. | |
west. That will bring us this spell of wet weather moving west to east | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
across much of England and Wales. A slightly quieter day for Northern | :48:06. | :48:08. | |
Ireland and Scotland. An improved day for Scotland, not quite as | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
chilly and a return to some brighter spells as well. Further showers | :48:13. | :48:15. | |
heading in from the west later on. A blustery, unsettled picture through | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
the course of Sunday but most of us should see a bit of brightness | :48:21. | :48:23. | |
either today or tomorrow. I have two us, you have put your jacket on. You | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
are not cold, are you? I have to confess I might have had a slight | :48:28. | :48:32. | |
rack that spillage. I promise it will be sorted out later on. I | :48:33. | :48:37. | |
expected another change of outfits, brilliant! I thought she knew there | :48:38. | :48:44. | |
was a cold snap coming. We will have the headlines at eight a.m.. | :48:45. | :48:47. | |
Now on Breakfast, it is time for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed. | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
Hello and welcome to Newswatch with Samira Ahmed. | :48:52. | :48:54. | |
On this week's programme - They got their envelopes mixed up | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
but did BBC News get its news priorities the wrong way around? | :48:58. | :49:04. | |
We discuss complaints that the embarrassment of the Oscars | :49:05. | :49:06. | |
was reported on as though it was an event of major global | :49:07. | :49:10. | |
Did you by any chance know that things didn't go entirely as planned | :49:11. | :49:20. | |
If you tuned into any BBC News programme on Monday, | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
the strange events on stage were hard to avoid. | :49:26. | :49:27. | |
It really shouldn't have been that difficult - | :49:28. | :49:29. | |
opening the right envelope at the right time and naming | :49:30. | :49:32. | |
the right film but at the Oscars last night in front of a global | :49:33. | :49:36. | |
audience of billions, it all went horribly wrong. | :49:37. | :49:38. | |
Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced to the world | :49:39. | :49:41. | |
that the winner of best film was La La Land. | :49:42. | :49:43. | |
That mistake was in the minds of scores of Newswatch viewers | :49:44. | :49:52. | |
As well as taking up significant airtime on Breakfast | :49:53. | :49:57. | |
and the News Channel, the mix-up occupied the first seven | :49:58. | :50:00. | |
or so minutes of both the news at one and the news at six. | :50:01. | :50:06. | |
That pushed what many considered more significant subjects down | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
the running order, such as the first public hearings in the government's | :50:10. | :50:12. | |
independent inquiry into child sexual abuse. | :50:13. | :50:14. | |
Brian Baker from Cornwall and first a viewer called Lynn from Ipswich, | :50:15. | :50:22. | |
I can't believe the BBC would consider this important enough | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
to devote so much of the programme to when there is so much happening | :50:28. | :50:30. | |
I have no objection to this getting a mention that keep the headline | :50:31. | :50:38. | |
spot for truly important newsworthy items. | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
You are, after all, providing a public service. | :50:44. | :50:46. | |
Firstly, let me just say that I am a great fan of the BBC | :50:47. | :50:50. | |
and particularly the breakfast programme in the morning. | :50:51. | :50:52. | |
However, I was absolutely gobsmacked the other day when Warren Beatty | :50:53. | :50:55. | |
made this envelope mistake for the awards ceremony. | :50:56. | :50:57. | |
It just seems that suddenly the BBC has twisted us into a separate | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
We have people in South Sudan starving to death, we have | :51:02. | :51:13. | |
Donald Trump who is trying to manipulate the media, | :51:14. | :51:16. | |
we have North Korea threatening a new arms race and yet the whole | :51:17. | :51:19. | |
world comes to a standstill because Warren Beatty opens | :51:20. | :51:22. | |
Is the BBC losing perspective on this sort of thing? | :51:23. | :51:30. | |
It just dominated breakfast and it dominated the whole of the news | :51:31. | :51:33. | |
for the rest of the day and in fact the next day! | :51:34. | :51:36. | |
I was sick to death of hearing about it! | :51:37. | :51:39. | |
No awards from viewers for best news broadcaster there. | :51:40. | :51:46. | |
The disgruntlement continued through the week. | :51:47. | :51:48. | |
BBC News reported on Thursday that the two accountants | :51:49. | :51:50. | |
from PricewaterhouseCoopers held responsible for the fiasco would not | :51:51. | :51:53. | |
be working on the Oscars again and on Friday they would be given | :51:54. | :51:56. | |
bodyguards following threats on social media. | :51:57. | :52:04. | |
Stuart Reynolds was another viewer who thought BBC News was living | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
Well, another viewer who contacted us this week was Mary Kavanagh. | :52:08. | :52:21. | |
Also we have the BBC controller of daily news programming, | :52:22. | :52:25. | |
I felt exactly the same as those to viewers that have just | :52:26. | :52:33. | |
There was so much time spent on this one silly item and I think my views | :52:34. | :52:39. | |
were, from the breakfast programme where Dan Walker and Louise | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
were trying desperately to keep the momentum | :52:44. | :52:46. | |
going and they were so excited, oh, we are going to the red carpet! | :52:47. | :52:54. | |
And we went to the red carpet and there was this poor man standing | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
in a kilt, desperately trying to speak to somebody and he couldn't | :52:59. | :53:01. | |
I think he would have grabbed a cleaner if he could | :53:02. | :53:05. | |
I know there is always an issue every year with Oscars coverage... | :53:06. | :53:13. | |
Of course, it makes a nice refreshing change in the mix. | :53:14. | :53:22. | |
On the Six O'clock News we did a five-minute item on this. | :53:23. | :53:29. | |
It was at the top of the running order so I'm not suggesting | :53:30. | :53:32. | |
But it's on the day of this event and for millions of people, | :53:33. | :53:40. | |
this is the first time they have had coming back from work to actually | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
see what happened, why it happened, what's the outcome | :53:45. | :53:46. | |
This is probably the major event in the calendar | :53:47. | :53:58. | |
for the entertainment industry and it is the biggest blunder | :53:59. | :54:00. | |
in that entertainment industry's history, arguably. | :54:01. | :54:02. | |
It is perfectly right that we cover a range of stories but a part | :54:03. | :54:06. | |
of that includes entertainment and popular culture. | :54:07. | :54:08. | |
Mary, it is the biggest entertainment industry's story | :54:09. | :54:10. | |
of the year and that is why it warranted that slot at that time. | :54:11. | :54:13. | |
I don't think, with the greatest respect, it is the great big media | :54:14. | :54:20. | |
event that everybody's interested in. | :54:21. | :54:21. | |
Did you also have a view of what other stories were given | :54:22. | :54:24. | |
less coverage or dropped off the running order? | :54:25. | :54:29. | |
I don't know what they were because it just seemed that | :54:30. | :54:32. | |
everything was Oscars, Oscars, Oscars. | :54:33. | :54:33. | |
I believe there was a child abuse item but it was squashed | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
into a corner and a didn't really absorb it. | :54:37. | :54:42. | |
That's one of the big concerns that a lot of viewers got in touch with. | :54:43. | :54:47. | |
The abuse inquiry really should have been the lead. | :54:48. | :54:50. | |
Maybe you could have made this the third headline and people | :54:51. | :54:54. | |
It's the BBC giving priority to something that it shouldn't have. | :54:55. | :54:59. | |
It's not a science that different programmes have led | :55:00. | :55:01. | |
Indeed, the Ten O'clock News didn't lead on Oscars, | :55:02. | :55:05. | |
One thing to pick up, it was the most watched, | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
shared, viewed item across the week, this gaffe, this blow. | :55:10. | :55:14. | |
I think it's an interesting question about the audience for bulletins | :55:15. | :55:20. | |
as opposed to the audience online who know that they can go and read | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
a lot in depth but when they turn on the bulletin, they're wanting | :55:25. | :55:28. | |
the BBC to tell them what the most important stories are kind | :55:29. | :55:31. | |
of in in the right order and I think you failed. | :55:32. | :55:34. | |
Your right order is going to be different to mine, to Mary's | :55:35. | :55:39. | |
and all the people that have been writing and texting in. | :55:40. | :55:42. | |
It is a subjective matter, it is not objective. | :55:43. | :55:44. | |
What would have been absolutely incorrect is if we hadn't covered | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
the child sex abuse inquiry and so much so that we previewed it | :55:50. | :55:52. | |
on the Ten O'clock News the night before and had substantial coverage | :55:53. | :55:55. | |
In the mix, you have to have a range of stories but what news can't be | :55:56. | :56:01. | |
is just about death tolls in descending orders or disasters | :56:02. | :56:03. | |
It can feel like the BBC's trying to keep up with social media | :56:04. | :56:13. | |
where these kinds of showbiz stories have huge traction | :56:14. | :56:15. | |
I suppose some in the audience say it is not the BBC's business to be | :56:16. | :56:21. | |
trying to compete with that showbiz social media led world. | :56:22. | :56:24. | |
No but it's the BBC's business, surely, to give audiences | :56:25. | :56:26. | |
There will be people who don't think we should be covering sport at all. | :56:27. | :56:32. | |
What difference does sport make in the great scheme of things. | :56:33. | :56:35. | |
And others who think you absolutely should, | :56:36. | :56:37. | |
The same for entertainment, the same for politics. | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
There will be many that think we bang on too much about politics, | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
others who think we don't get into the nitty-gritty of it enough. | :56:45. | :56:48. | |
It's always about the range and the mix. | :56:49. | :56:50. | |
The other issue is that this has gone on all week. | :56:51. | :56:53. | |
We kind of knew on the first day there was a mix-up | :56:54. | :56:56. | |
with the envelope, then some detail about how, | :56:57. | :56:58. | |
On Thursday and Friday it felt as though it was again just | :56:59. | :57:03. | |
dominating a lot of airtime about these accountancy workers | :57:04. | :57:05. | |
getting bodyguards and are they going to work again | :57:06. | :57:08. | |
And people say it was not warranted, that amount of air time. | :57:09. | :57:15. | |
One of the big criticisms and a justified one of BBC and media | :57:16. | :57:21. | |
generally can be that we do a huge amount on some story and then | :57:22. | :57:25. | |
the juggernaut moves on and you never hear the end. | :57:26. | :57:28. | |
What actually happened in this or that event? | :57:29. | :57:30. | |
With this we are saying that there is a development, | :57:31. | :57:33. | |
for those who are interested in this story and there are a great number | :57:34. | :57:36. | |
who were, here is the next iteration of it. | :57:37. | :57:39. | |
If it had been the lead story across four, five days, | :57:40. | :57:42. | |
I would hold up my hand and say we had gone over the top. | :57:43. | :57:46. | |
Final word to you, Mary, what you feel about what you have | :57:47. | :57:49. | |
heard and what could be better next time? | :57:50. | :57:51. | |
I think that over the weeks Newswatch, we have had lots | :57:52. | :57:54. | |
and lots of items and complaint about the news actually | :57:55. | :57:57. | |
putting their emphasis on showbiz things. | :57:58. | :57:58. | |
My view is, you know, please, the majority of your viewers | :57:59. | :58:01. | |
are license payers, they want to switch on and see | :58:02. | :58:04. | |
a very balanced view of the news and I do not think you're providing | :58:05. | :58:08. | |
it and please, please, will you try and make theBBC head | :58:09. | :58:11. | |
Mary Kavanagh and Gavin Allen, thank you both very much. | :58:12. | :58:31. | |

Time for a couple more of your comments about what you have | :58:41. | :58:43. | |
There was some reaction on Thursday to this story headlined | :58:44. | :58:46. | |
A BBC investigation has discovered that almost 4000 motorists a day | :58:47. | :58:51. | |
in England are fined for driving in bus lanes. | :58:52. | :58:53. | |
The most lucrative camera makes ?6,000 every day. | :58:54. | :59:00. | |
That word lucrative which also featured on the BBC News website's | :59:01. | :59:03. | |
list of England's most lucrative bus lane cameras infuriated | :59:04. | :59:05. | |
Edward Taylor who felt the reporting emphasised motorist's complaints | :59:06. | :59:08. | |
about local councils making money from the cameras. | :59:09. | :59:30. | |
On Tuesday, an inquest into the deaths of 30 British | :59:31. | :59:33. | |
tourists killed in a gun attack in Tunisia in 2015 found | :59:34. | :59:36. | |
The finding was widely covered on BBC News but James Franklin | :59:37. | :59:42. | |
from Stirling e-mailed us his objection to the way | :59:43. | :59:45. | |

you in a few minutes. The Democratic Unionist Party | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
narrowly remains the largest party in Northern Ireland | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
after a snap election. But the result means | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
they're now just one seat having entered | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
the election 10 ahead. The DUP emerged with 28 seats, | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
and Sinn Fein with 27. The parties now have three weeks | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
to establish a government. This report, from our | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler, If walking out of Government | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
was a gamble for Sinn They increased their share | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
of the vote and narrow the gap between them and their own coalition | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
partners, the DUP. But the result leaves major | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
questions about the future of power-sharing in Northern | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
Ireland. I said consistently throughout | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
the campaign that Sinn Fein are not interested in going back | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
to the status quo. The DUP need to fundamentally | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
change their ways and be true to the principles of power-sharing | :03:43. | :03:57. | |
if they want to go back Sinn Fein had called for the DUP | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
leader, Arlene Foster, to step aside as First Minister | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
during a public enquiry When she refused, Sinn Fein left | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
the coalition Government, There is work to be done and work | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
to quickly mend the relationship which has been frayed by the discord | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
of this election. But it was opposition | :04:15. | :04:26. | |
parties that suffered I shall make my statement | :04:27. | :04:27. | |
and leave the stage. The leader of the Ulster Unionists, | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
Mike Nesbitt, stood down It will now be up to the leaders | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
of Sinn Fein and the DUP to draw battle lines in the inevitable | :04:36. | :04:49. | |
negotiations to try The UK may be able to | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
leave the European Union That's the view of constitution | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
experts in the House of Lords today. Our political correspondent | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Ellie Price joins us now Ellie, it's been reported | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
that the EU might demand a so-called "divorce bill" | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
of billions of pounds. If Brexit is a divorce, then we are | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
talking about the alimony. We are talking about the EU budget, some of | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
the parts of that that Britain has signed for. Who is going to pay | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Britain's contribution, contribution to staff pensions and so on. ?52 | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
billion, but estimates vary how much that will would end up being. But | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
what this report suggests today is that there is no legal obligation | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
for the British Government to pay anything when Whaley. But, and it a | :05:42. | :05:53. | |
big but, there is if we want to continue a relationship with the EU, | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
and a Theresa May has made it plain that she wants to have a good | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
trading deal with the EU, the report today suggests that Britain needs to | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
have some kind of decent deal sorted with the EU to sort out those | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
ongoing relationships, and it's that political calculation that Theresa | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
May will take into account. Mercedes-Benz is to recall around | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
one million cars because they're It's because of a fault found | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
within newer models which can cause It's thought around 75,000 cars | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
in the UK could be affected, but Mercedes says the risk | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
to customers is small. The models at fault include some A, | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
B, C, and E-class cars as well as Mercedes' CLA, | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
GLA and GLC vehicles. Anyone who's bought a car between | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
2015 and 2017 could be affected. Mercedes say they're | :06:48. | :06:58. | |
aware of 51 fires so far, but that no deaths or injuries | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
had been recorded. It's thought owners will be | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
contacted later this year. Reports from France suggest | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
the owner of Peugeot and Citroen has reached an agreement to buy | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Vauxhall. The deal has been subject | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
to three weeks of talks, but there are concerns about what it | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
could mean for the thousands Vauxhall builds the | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
Vivaro van at Luton. Around 70,000 rolled off | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
the production line last year. And at Elsemere port | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
about 120,000 Vauxhall Astras As well as those employed directly | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
by GM, thousands more work There are also 15,000 people | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
in the pension scheme, They have already been told | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
that they will be no worse The good news is that the PSA group, | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
which owns Peugeot and Citroen, has promised not to cut any jobs | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
in the UK before 2020, and PSA's boss Carlo Tavares has already | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
had talks on the phone There were reassuring words | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
but no promises were made. Vauxhall is set to become the | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
second-biggest carmaker after VW. French Government has a 14% in this | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
and there are fears French | :08:23. | :08:34. | |
jobs will come ahead The Unite Secretary, Len McCluskey, | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
has been involved in talks He called Vauxhall a jewel within | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
the crown of GM's European business. Last autumn, the Government did | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
a deal to keep Nissan in Sunderland. The company was promised free access | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
to European markets whatever PSA may well seek | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
similar assurances. Companies that use confusing small | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
print to mislead customers face The Chancellor will announce plans | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
to help people avoid so-called "subscription traps" by making sure | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
customers are notified Hands up how many of us have | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
genuinely read through all of the small print at the end | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
of a contract before we signed Citizens Advice says | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
two thirds of us skim And after a free trial at the gym | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
or some credit checking services, many of us end up unwittingly | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
committing to paying subscriptions for months, | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
which are tricky to get out of. Now the Government is consulting | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
on ways to avoid these subscription traps by ensuring consumers | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
are notified clearly and in good time when a payment | :09:43. | :09:43. | |
is about to be taken. The plans also include making | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
the fine print of terms and conditions a lot shorter, | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
larger and clearer. And the Government might also | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
give the Competition and Markets Authority extra powers | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
to prosecute rogue companies. People losing hundreds | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
of pounds as a result What tends to happen is people sign | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
up in good faith for a free trial or a one-off discount only to then | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
find as a result of incredibly complex terms and conditions | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
that they end up having money taken out of their account | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
without their knowledge for things I think it's a really good decision | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
for the Government to act on this. Even if proposals are brought | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
into law, consumers still need Read contracts and study your bank | :10:26. | :10:28. | |

for a severe chest infection. In a statement released | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
by his agent, Sir Bruce said he wanted to "say a special thank | :10:54. | :10:55. | |

The president of Sinn Fein, Gerry Adams, has hailed | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
the success of his party in the Northern Ireland | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
elections, saying people had voted for an end to "the old status quo". | :12:12. | :12:22. | |
With all the votes counted, Sinn Fein have ended up with 27 | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
seats, just one behind the Democratic Unionists. | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Our correspondent, Annita McVeigh, joins us from Belfast's City Hall. | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
Sinn Fein, undoubtedly the big winners in this day after the | :12:36. | :12:45. | |
elections. Those votes came in a cross 90 seats in 18 constituencies. | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
Let's look at the contrast, with ten months ago, in the elections in May | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
last year, in that election the DUP had a ten seat majority over Sinn | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
Fein. Now, although the DUP is still the largest party, that majority has | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
been reduced to just one seat. We will talk now to the Professor of | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
British and Irish politics at the University of Liverpool. Let's look | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
at the breakdown of the vote and where it went right and wrong for | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
the various parties. Beginning with the Sinn Fein politicians he really | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
got their vote out. It's a stunning victory for them, even the biggest | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
optimist the Sinn Fein didn't predict this. They were told by the | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
DUP that this was an election that the Northern Irish didn't want or | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
need, but it appears that this was not the case. Sinn Fein said that | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
the election was all about equality, but what they didn't expect was to | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
be almost equal with the DUP, which really changes the dynamics of | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
Northern Ireland volatility. Turnout for the election was up by 10% and | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
yet they lost a significant number of seats. They were all-powerful and | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
this is disastrous for them. It does raise the issue now of Arlene | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
Foster's future as the DUP leader. She could turn round and say, we | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
other largest party with the most votes, but the Sinn Fein, the | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
position of Arlene Foster is non-negotiable. They want her | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
removed while an enquiry goes on into the heating incentive scheme | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
that caused this election in the first place. Mike Nesbitt resigned | :14:44. | :14:54. | |
even though his political party numbers went up slightly, but Arlene | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
Foster is refusing to step down. Is it difficult for the DUP to argue | :15:03. | :15:11. | |
about getting rid of Arlene Foster? Yes. They won't want Sinn Fein to | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
dictate who leads their party. It isn't easily resolved. There is no | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
clear successor anyway to Arlene Foster, though we are potentially | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
looking at a nightmare scenario that could be another election, which | :15:27. | :15:36. | |
would prove what? Or you could be looking at direct rule. But this is | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
at a time when Northern Ireland really needs a Government who can | :15:42. | :15:51. | |
look at Brexit. Let's discuss what is quite a theoretical point about | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
the balance of power, because if we don't have that functioning assembly | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
in Northern Ireland, up until now the DUP had eight petition of | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
concern, and ability to veto proposals from Sinn Fein because of | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
their difference in seat numbers, but that is out the window now? They | :16:15. | :16:23. | |
will need a traditional Unionist voice and also the DUP voice. A | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
simple assembly vote otherwise will be taken, not across a community | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
basis, so if they vote to legalise same-sex marriage that would go | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
ahead. The Sinn Fein agenda is now very much back in play. That ability | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
to veto by the DUP was the cause initially of the breakdown between | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
the DUP and Sinn Fein, because Sinn Fein felt that the DUP were vetoing | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
many of their proposals, including Irish language. In your educated | :17:02. | :17:12. | |
opinion, how long do you think it could be before we see a functioning | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
assembly in Stormont? Six to nine months minimum. And it will take six | :17:21. | :17:31. | |
to nine months because there will be this political hiatus. It won't | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
easily be resolved. The other thing is who is going to check these | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
negotiations, because James broke and she is not necessarily seen as a | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
neutral broker in that. Well, the votes were counted into the wee | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
small hours and that was when the last few counts were finished at | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
3am. We don't expect to hear much from the politicians today, but come | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
Monday, they will be back in Stormont to continue those | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
negotiations. How long is a piece of string? We know that in Northern | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
Ireland, negotiations can become very protracted indeed and it is | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
being conducted in a very difficult climb it. You are watching | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
breakfast. The DUP has remained | :18:19. | :18:31. | |
Northern Ireland's largest party in the Assembly election, | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
but only by a single 75,000 Mercedez-Benz | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
cars in the UK are to be recalled It's been a cold, blustery | :18:36. | :18:55. | |
they could catch fire. It's been a cold, blustery day. We | :18:56. | :19:07. | |
will get the weather now. There are blue skies, sunshine, but equally, | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
low pressure not far-away. Outbreaks of rain and heavy showers. We are | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
seeing this weather front which is draped across parts of Scotland | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
which will bring quite persistent rain and hill snow across northern | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
parts of Scotland through the day. We are seeing a brisk, easterly wind | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
which is making you feel bitterly cold across central Scotland. | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Scattered heavy showers across westerly parts of England and Wales, | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
but a lot of England and Wales also looking largely dry. Some rain in | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
the Far East that should clear away. At two awards the south-west of | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
England and West and Wales, those showers are quite heavy with | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
blustery, gale force winds. In the sunshine, we will see | :19:58. | :20:12. | |
temperatures up to 12 Celsius. At further into the North and West, | :20:13. | :20:21. | |
some heavy showers. Here are you premiership matches. Heavy showers | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
in Liverpool. Largely dry it in Manchester. Through the course of | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
tonight. Another weather front working into the south-west, so | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
through Sunday, this band of brisk winds, heavy rain, working its way | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
Westerly, with heavy downpours. A wet, windy day across England and | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland still seems showers but certainly | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
improved picture compared to today. Your weekly forecast, a hint of | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
things settling down as we look towards the middle of next week. | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
Thank you, Sarah. We've followed their story | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
from the very start. The four mums who made history | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
by rowing across the Atlantic Ocean They're known as the Yorkshire Rows | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
and now their extraordinary tale has Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
catching up with them. They were the four ordinary mums | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
who had had an extraordinary dream. And now, to match their place | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
in the record books, This was the moment they set | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
a world record, the moment Yorkshire Rows had laughed | :21:41. | :21:51. | |
and danced their way across the Atlantic, | :21:52. | :22:02. | |
or so we thought. You never told us at the time, | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
but there had been a huge row Well, I had been rowing | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
nonstop for two hours. I then finished a shift, | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
it needed a wee, was in mid-flow on the bucket, and skipper | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
here told me to get off the bucket. When a girl has to go, | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
skipper, a girl has to go. Yes, but we were in | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
immediate danger. They haven't stopped, | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
from the moment the oars went down. They have had invitations | :22:31. | :22:49. | |
to the Palace, mixed with royalty, they have mixed with celebrity, | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
they have become celebrity. The documentary about you is winning | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
international film competitions, I went to New York, | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
we got a standing ovation. Their story has spread | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
from Yorkshire around the world, as has their inspiration, | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
which is why we have arranged These ladies have been inspired | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
to do exactly the same row, When I saw them I thought, | :23:22. | :23:36. | |
those ladies look just like me, and if they can do it, | :23:37. | :23:48. | |
then there is no reason why These are the ladies | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
who are going to take our record. So it was Yorkshire Rows passed | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
the baton to the Atlantic Ladies. Is it time for them | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
to put up their feet? Niki and I are doing a six-day | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
ultramarathon across the Sahara You just want to be in, don't you? I | :24:07. | :24:48. | |
love we've now got Yorkshire Rows, the next generation for Jayne to | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
follow. You're watching | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. Time now for a look | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
at the newspapers. Nazir Afzal is a former | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
CPS prosecutor. He's here to tell us | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
what's caught his eye I've chosen a story in the Telegraph | :25:05. | :25:20. | |
about the drink-drive limit, and drivers. In this, the local | :25:21. | :25:29. | |
Government Association are saying that the limit is too high. In | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
Scotland, the limit is half than what is in England and Wales, and | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
it's been a 25% reduction in the number of deaths due to | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
drink-driving. And the LGA are calling for the same thing in | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
England and Wales. It's an area where there is a real tension, | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
because you got the pub and club industry saying it would damage | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
their trade. You've got policing and victims who are saying it's | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
essential you should protect people. They could be fewer deaths from | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
drink-driving if you were to reduce the limit. And that's clearly a | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
strong case they are making. As a prosecutor, there's often the | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
argument that zero tolerance won't quite work. Because a Christmas cake | :26:21. | :26:30. | |
peacekeeper you over to check with the with food,... There is a clip | :26:31. | :26:47. | |
doing the rounds of Nigel Farage room noise and food. -- being | :26:48. | :27:02. | |
knighted. On Russian TV, he was party to this little extra paid | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
where a young woman, knighted him, and Shih said then, my mother says | :27:06. | :27:31. | |
you hate foreigners. And he said to her, the monarchy should be | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
impartial. We see a lot of satire, but we're now seeing it in | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
newspapers, in terms of what you are meant to believe, or not believe. | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
This idea of honours. We shouldn't be talking about it openly. It | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
should be recognising great success, great achievement. Mirror are | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
looking forward at a March two save the NHS. It's hard to predict | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
numbers. But clearly, this is a big concern in politics at the moment. | :28:10. | :28:16. | |
They anticipate 100,000 people marching in aid for the NHS. We are | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
in a very different place. The NHS is 70 years old, and we are getting | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
older. The population is likely to keep going up. Can the NHS sustain, | :28:29. | :28:38. | |
can it be sustained with current funding? The idea of the march is to | :28:39. | :28:44. | |
keep highlighting this, because it's more complicated than simply putting | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
money in. We know that medication costs money. Things are having an | :28:49. | :28:59. | |
impact on the health service, something we are so proud of, but we | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
need to recognise it is facing challenges. Earlier, we had and | :29:04. | :29:10. | |
Marie Riley who was telling us that the kind of innovation they are | :29:11. | :29:16. | |
doing in hospital. Jarman paralysis, getting them out of their pyjamas | :29:17. | :29:24. | |
into normal closed improved mental health. Hospital had to get an | :29:25. | :29:32. | |
eviction order for a patient who had been there for two years. So, it's a | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
tough time but we value the NHS more than. Thank you very much for | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
talking to us. We will be talking again to Anne Marie Riley about that | :29:45. | :29:51. | |
pyjama paralysis campaign. Boxing pundit Steve Bunce is going to be | :29:52. | :29:57. | |
with us to talk about this boxing match. | :29:58. | :30:27. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Jon Kay and Steph McGovern. | :30:28. | :30:29. | |
Coming up before nine, Sarah will have your full | :30:30. | :30:31. | |
But, first, a summary of this morning's main news. | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
The Democratic Unionist Party narrowly remains the largest | :30:37. | :30:38. | |
party in Northern Ireland after a snap election. | :30:39. | :30:41. | |
The result means they're now just one seat ahead of Sinn Fein, | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
which increased its share of the vote. | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
The parties now have three weeks to establish a government. | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
Companies that use confusing small print to mislead customers face | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
Plans include making sure consumers are notified | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
before a payment is taken and simplifying small print. | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
Citizens Advice says two thirds of people skim through terms | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
and conditions without reading them, meaning they get caught | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
in a "subscription trap" - not realising they may have to pay | :31:13. | :31:14. | |
for a service after a free trial has ended. | :31:15. | :31:21. | |
The UK may be able to leave the European Union | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
without paying a penny - that's the view of a House | :31:25. | :31:26. | |
Its report says Britain would not be legally obliged to pay | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
a so-called "divorce bill" of billions of pounds. | :31:31. | :31:33. | |
However, they say it might be politically necessary to make | :31:34. | :31:36. | |
It's been reported that a Brexit bill could amount | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
Reports from France suggest the owner of Peugeot and Citroen has | :31:42. | :31:48. | |
reached an agreement to buy Vauxhall. | :31:49. | :31:50. | |
The deal has been subject to three weeks of talks | :31:51. | :31:52. | |
between General Motors and the PSA group. | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
The new owners have reportedly promised there'll be no UK | :31:57. | :31:58. | |
Schools in England are to get a share of ?215 million | :31:59. | :32:15. | |
to improve facilities for pupils with special educational | :32:16. | :32:17. | |
Ministers say the money can be spent on specialised | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
classrooms and resources, but not on general | :32:21. | :32:22. | |
It comes as many local councils complain of | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
One teaching union has described the new money as just | :32:26. | :32:31. | |
a drop in the ocean, but the government insists it | :32:32. | :32:33. | |
Sir Bruce Forsyth has reportedly returned home, | :32:34. | :32:43. | |
after spending five nights in intensive care. | :32:44. | :32:44. | |
The 89-year-old was being treated for a severe chest infection. | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
In a statement released by his agent, Sir Bruce said | :32:48. | :32:49. | |
he wanted to "say a special thank you to all the NHS doctors, | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
nurses and staff" for their "kindness and care". | :32:53. | :32:59. | |
We wish him well. 50 years after they made the original Mary Poppins | :33:00. | :33:12. | |
with Julie Andrews, Disney are making a... What is it? A new look? | :33:13. | :33:18. | |
They have released a photo of the new look Mary Poppins. There she is, | :33:19. | :33:25. | |
same old bag, same old code. A new actress, not Julie Andrews but Emily | :33:26. | :33:29. | |
Blunt playing the dancing nanny and donning the famous navy coat and | :33:30. | :33:33. | |
patterned carpet bag for the sequel, Mary Poppins Returns, due to be | :33:34. | :33:39. | |
released on Christmas Day next year, so that is all you are going to see | :33:40. | :33:44. | |
for now! Ages away. I know you are a Mary | :33:45. | :33:47. | |
Poppins Fanta dock I am a massive fan of the original. | :33:48. | :33:57. | |
I can't think of anything where the remake is as good as the original. | :33:58. | :34:05. | |
Beauty And The Beast is about to come out. But I don't think they've | :34:06. | :34:11. | |
made a picture movie of that. The remake of The Jungle Book was good. | :34:12. | :34:14. | |
Maybe you are right! We have been talking about Eoin | :34:15. | :34:29. | |
Morgan and talking about whether he deserved a place in the side. But | :34:30. | :34:31. | |
here he is doing really well. England beat West Indies by 45 runs | :34:32. | :34:35. | |
in the first one-day And captain Eoin Morgan | :34:36. | :34:37. | |
was inspirational, hitting a century as England set their hosts a victory | :34:38. | :34:41. | |
target of 297. Chris Woakes and Liam Plunkett did | :34:42. | :34:43. | |
the damage in the reply, So England are 1-0 up | :34:44. | :34:46. | |
in the three match series, with the second game tomorrow | :34:47. | :34:49. | |
at the same ground. Andy Murray said it | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
wasn't the best match - but victory over Lucas Pouille | :34:53. | :34:54. | |
took him through to the final Murray admitted his legs were a bit | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
tired after his quarterfinal against Philipp Kohlschriber, | :34:58. | :35:01. | |
which included a tie-break of over half an hour - | :35:02. | :35:05. | |
but he beat Pouille in straight sets and he'll face Fernando | :35:06. | :35:08. | |
Verdasco in today's final. Some big wins this week, | :35:09. | :35:17. | |
so it will be a tricky match, because he is a leftie | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
and he goes for his shots. He has a lot of power, | :35:21. | :35:22. | |
a lot of talent in his hands, so I'll try, you know, | :35:23. | :35:25. | |
try to dictate as many points as I can, because when he's | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
on the baseline moving the ball British athlete Andrew Pozzi has won | :35:29. | :35:31. | |
the first major title of his career, taking gold in the 60-metres hurdles | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
at the European Indoor Pozzi has been hit by a series | :35:37. | :35:38. | |
of injuries, so this It means everything. It has been a | :35:39. | :35:56. | |
long, hard road I wasn't all that sure I would get to the level I | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
needed to be at so with grit and determination, I am over the moon. | :36:01. | :36:02. | |
It really is great. Laura Muir has promised | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
to bring her "A game", She won her heat in the 1500-metres | :36:09. | :36:10. | |
to make today's final - and she also goes in the 3,000 | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
metres final tomorrow. A big day of football. Premier | :36:16. | :36:24. | |
League football is back after the league cup final last weekend. A | :36:25. | :36:28. | |
full schedule. I keep getting that word wrong every week you come and | :36:29. | :36:34. | |
sit on the sofa! Dan Walker is here! Good morning. You were nearly there | :36:35. | :36:40. | |
with the type but didn't quite make it! I thought I would go for | :36:41. | :36:47. | |
something a bit different. Good job I am not in my pyjamas! Suited and | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
booted and ready to go by midday when Football Focus hits the | :36:53. | :36:57. | |
screens. We have a lot to talk about. Liverpool versus Arsenal is | :36:58. | :37:02. | |
the standout fixture this weekend. It has been an interesting year for | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
Jurgen Klopp because they have only won two games, one in the cup, one | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
in the league, lost heavily to a rejuvenated Leicester last time out. | :37:11. | :37:14. | |
We are going to talk about all sort of things and I am going to play you | :37:15. | :37:21. | |
a clip of Jurgen Klopp. Seven months in, how much time do you give | :37:22. | :37:27. | |
yourself to be successful? That is the problem. It is not that I will | :37:28. | :37:30. | |
decide only about this but I am very, very positive about how much | :37:31. | :37:35. | |
time I can get for whatever. I have no idea about it but I am in closed | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
talks, if your quest to meet him at direction, with our ownership, so we | :37:41. | :37:45. | |
are all fine but of course we know we need to deliver, we need to show | :37:46. | :37:53. | |
development, but we will, no doubt. A really interesting interview with | :37:54. | :37:55. | |
Juliette Berrington and Jurgen Klopp. Very interesting. Only two | :37:56. | :38:01. | |
points on the road all season for Burnley. We have two players now | :38:02. | :38:06. | |
playing the same team who are schoolmates. They are really good | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
friends and it is lovely to see them together, laughing like a bunch of | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
goons at the same time as being Premier league footballers. We have | :38:16. | :38:21. | |
Hugo Lloris, a lovely piece on Oliver Burke, a Scottish | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
international who now plays in Germany. If you ever want to look | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
into an interesting story, which has caused quite a furore in Germany, | :38:31. | :38:35. | |
only eight years old and have had four five promotions and in the | :38:36. | :38:39. | |
Bundesliga so loads of money from red Bull have gone into this team | :38:40. | :38:42. | |
and they are now pushing at the very top of German football so fans are | :38:43. | :38:45. | |
not particularly happy there have been protests about the way they | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
have done their business but they are successful. We also have Danny | :38:49. | :38:53. | |
Murphy on the programme, Dion Dublin, John Moxon live at Leicester | :38:54. | :38:58. | |
and we have David Gower doing Premier League predictions in the | :38:59. | :39:06. | |
Power Hour. What A Lot Of Names. Thanks so much for coming in. | :39:07. | :39:10. | |
In rugby union's Premiership, Exeter moved to within one point | :39:11. | :39:12. | |
of the leaders Wasps with a big win over Leicester. | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
It was pretty wet at Welford Road but the Chiefs managed | :39:16. | :39:18. | |
a bonus-point victory - 34-15 the score. | :39:19. | :39:21. | |
They haven't lost now since the end of October. | :39:22. | :39:24. | |
In last night's other game, Northampton beat Sale 32-12. | :39:25. | :39:27. | |
Ospreys have moved to the top of the Pro 12 table with a narrow | :39:28. | :39:30. | |
Josh Matavesi touched down for the only try of the game, | :39:31. | :39:36. | |
That's five defeats in a row for Edinburgh. | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
There were also wins for Ulster and Connacht. | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
In Superleague, a late, disputed penalty try gave | :39:45. | :39:47. | |
Wakefield Trinity victory over St Helens. | :39:48. | :39:58. | |
A fantastic finish from Mason Caton-Brown helped Wakefield | :39:59. | :39:59. | |
on their way but they were trailing 12-10 when the video referee awarded | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
a penalty try that was converted, giving Wakefield victory by 16 | :40:04. | :40:06. | |
Wigan beat Leigh 20 points to nil in last night's other game. | :40:07. | :40:10. | |
Rory McIlroy's lack of competitive golf this season seems to have | :40:11. | :40:12. | |
He hasn't played a tournament since January but he's two shots | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
clear at the halfway stage of the World Golf Championship | :40:17. | :40:18. | |
McIlory could reclaim the world number one spot if he wins here, | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
and a second round of 65 - including this eagle - | :40:23. | :40:25. | |
has set him up very nicely for the challenge. | :40:26. | :40:28. | |
After all the talk, some of it not too pleasant, | :40:29. | :40:31. | |
Tony Bellew and David Haye will go head to head tonight - | :40:32. | :40:38. | |
you can follow it on BBC 5 live from ten o'clock. | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
Bellew, the world cruiserweight champion, is fighting for the first | :40:42. | :40:43. | |
And he was nearly a stone lighter than Haye on the scales. | :40:44. | :40:49. | |
He is prepared and ready to perform for the two-round fight. | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
He is not really a heavyweight right now. | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
Aesthetically there he looks fantastic. | :41:00. | :41:08. | |
When you get close to him he is trembling. | :41:09. | :41:10. | |
He is not as confident and he does not believe the things he is saying. | :41:11. | :41:17. | |
I look at him, he is actually trembling. | :41:18. | :41:19. | |
I was hoping he would look a little bit more physically impressive. | :41:20. | :41:22. | |
You know, some type of remnants of abdominal muscles or some sort, | :41:23. | :41:24. | |
but he looked very smooth, he didn't look good in my opinion, | :41:25. | :41:27. | |
You know, I have knocked out guys a lot bigger, | :41:28. | :41:33. | |
stronger and more athletic than him, so I don't see what he can do other | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
Steve Bunce is a boxing journalist and joins us now | :41:38. | :41:51. | |
Playing those clips and listening to what the boxers had to say, fairly | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
tame language this time but they have had some things to say about | :41:58. | :42:07. | |
each other, there have been threats of stepping into the ring. Did it go | :42:08. | :42:10. | |
too far? The boxing board of control have said they will be looking at | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
the comments. What do you make of it? It started in October when Tony | :42:15. | :42:19. | |
Bellew defended his title against a man he dubbed David Haye's nightclub | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
buddy, BJ Flores. After the fight, he leapt from the ring, breaking one | :42:25. | :42:28. | |
of the British boxing board of control rules, and David Haye was | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
challenged. They have a press conference at the Dorchester Hotel | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
in central London and David Haye managed to hit Tony Bellew, breaking | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
several of the British boxing board of control rules and then they | :42:42. | :42:44. | |
started swearing. It was like a swearing competition. I've never | :42:45. | :42:52. | |
seen two adult men and standards where so much. If you had a meter, | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
they would have broken it did they are broken dozens of the rules and | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
Monday morning, when this fight is over and the dust has settled and | :43:01. | :43:04. | |
21,000 firms have gone home, the pair of them will be summoned to the | :43:05. | :43:09. | |
British boxing board of control offices in Cardiff. They want of | :43:10. | :43:15. | |
their pockets find. I think there will be fined as much as ?300,000 | :43:16. | :43:19. | |
each, it has been that serious. We are just taking a look pictures of | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
the incident you talked about. Berry/ photography coming up. -- | :43:25. | :43:31. | |
there is flash photography. What did you make of it when Bellew jumped | :43:32. | :43:38. | |
out of the ring to challenge David Haye? That this is all an act? They | :43:39. | :43:42. | |
are really good friends? They've never been close friends but they | :43:43. | :43:47. | |
have over the last seven or eight years nodded and shaken hands and | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
worked side-by-side for sky TV. The pair of them have worked for us here | :43:52. | :43:56. | |
at Radio 5 live, not on the same night but on different nights, and | :43:57. | :43:59. | |
they have praised each other's performances. David Belle Vue would | :44:00. | :44:07. | |
say David Haye is a great fighter. David Haye would say Tony Bellew had | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
an enormous heart and was a great fighter. It was pantomime. It broke | :44:12. | :44:18. | |
rules but it was pantomime. Tony Bellew is a fantastic salesman and | :44:19. | :44:23. | |
admits that. He said last week to us at Radio 5 live, I'm going to send | :44:24. | :44:27. | |
my kids to do by because I don't want them to see what I become next | :44:28. | :44:32. | |
week when I sell despite. When I finished selling this fight, the | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
whole world want to watch it. Somewhere between dumping out of the | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
ring and the last few days, something really nasty happened, | :44:41. | :44:43. | |
there was a transformation in David Haye, who feels aggrieved at what | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
Bellew said and Bellew feels rightly aggrieved at some of the very | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
personal stuff that David Haye has aimed at him. It is genuine. At the | :44:52. | :44:54. | |
end of the fight, they will not shake hands or cuddle up breaks | :44:55. | :45:00. | |
plenty of boxing's rules. What about the fight itself, away from all this | :45:01. | :45:04. | |
hype and selling? What will we see in the ring? Does Bellew have what | :45:05. | :45:09. | |
it takes to step up from cruiserweight and take on David Haye | :45:10. | :45:14. | |
at heavyweight? He certainly does, if he can survive the first minute. | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
He needs to make it past the first three or four rounds to make it a | :45:20. | :45:22. | |
great fight it up it will be phenomenal, not just because of the | :45:23. | :45:24. | |
animosity but because of the difference in the way they fight and | :45:25. | :45:29. | |
the fact you know Bellew has to survive and David Haye has to get to | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
him quick, certainly by the end of the fourth round and that's what | :45:33. | :45:37. | |
makes it so intriguing. It is just a pity we've crossed and blurred so | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
many lines and upset so many people. These two guys are terrific boxers | :45:43. | :45:47. | |
and have been terrific family men and unfortunately, and I have to say | :45:48. | :45:50. | |
this, they haven't really sold this fight the same way but I'm on | :45:51. | :45:53. | |
breakfast TV talking about it and I've been covering this for 30 years | :45:54. | :45:57. | |
and I think you've only have me in here twice, one of which was to talk | :45:58. | :46:01. | |
about a dead Muhammad Ali. That's how big it has become. We will | :46:02. | :46:05. | |
definitely be having you back! Who do you think we will see winter | :46:06. | :46:09. | |
night? I think David Haye wins inside the first two rounds. We may | :46:10. | :46:15. | |
be talking about that with you tomorrow. You can see commentary on | :46:16. | :46:24. | |
tonight's fight on BBC Radio 5 live. That was amazing, wasn't it? Should | :46:25. | :46:30. | |
we book for tomorrow now? He was talking about Tony Bellew and David | :46:31. | :46:33. | |
Haye selling this fight but I think he sold it! It is so theatrical! | :46:34. | :46:38. | |
That is all part of it. Sarah has the weather. | :46:39. | :46:51. | |
We have all sorts going on today. There is blue sky and sunshine, not | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
everywhere, also heavy showers, longer spells of rain and some hill | :46:57. | :46:59. | |
snow. Low-pressure is the real driving force of the weather at the | :47:00. | :47:03. | |
moment and that is bringing a weather front sitting across | :47:04. | :47:08. | |
Scotland during the day. Some hill snow and windy weather. The worst of | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
the rain clearing away from Northern Ireland to be scattered, heavy | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
downpours. Many western areas seeing heavy showers but for central and | :47:17. | :47:21. | |
eastern areas, not a bad day. Let's take a detailed look up three p. | :47:22. | :47:24. | |
There is the rain across northern and north-eastern parts of Scotland, | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
an improvement to the south-west of Scotland but heavy showers, still. | :47:29. | :47:34. | |
Central and eastern parts of England, after a bit of early rain, | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
it clears up, so not a bad day with temperatures up to 12 in the sunnier | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
spells but further west, heavy downpours across Wales and the | :47:44. | :47:46. | |
south-west of England, some thunderstorms possible as well as | :47:47. | :47:51. | |
strong and gusty winds. Windy, showery weather continues into this | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
evening and overnight across western parts of the country. Still some | :47:56. | :47:57. | |
heavy rain to the far north of Scotland but elsewhere, a drier | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
interlude moving through the overnight period but through the | :48:02. | :48:04. | |
early hours of Sunday, another band of rain approaching from the | :48:05. | :48:08. | |
south-west. That is the Weatherford you can see here. During Sunday, it | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
will head west to east across England and Wales but meanwhile | :48:13. | :48:14. | |
low-pressure tends to clear away from Scotland. For Scotland, and | :48:15. | :48:20. | |
improved day compared to today. Showers for Northern Ireland but we | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
will see the bulk of the rain pushing west to east across England | :48:25. | :48:27. | |
and Wales, followed by further heavy downpours heading into the | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
south-west. Plenty going on with the weather. Temperatures in the north | :48:32. | :48:36. | |
around seven, whereas further south it is a bit milder, ten or 11. A | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
quick look ahead into the start of next week, still pretty unsettled | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
with low-pressure coming in from the Atlantic but there will be a hint of | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
dry and bright weather and perhaps by Tuesday a bit more sunshine. | :48:51. | :48:55. | |
Thank you. We could all do with more sleep. It is a problem that parents | :48:56. | :49:05. | |
tackle every night up and down the country - how to make sure your kids | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
get a good night's sleep. The figures are stark because a Panorama | :49:11. | :49:13. | |
investigation has found a big rise of a number of youngsters not just | :49:14. | :49:19. | |
not sleeping but being admitted to hospital with sleep disorders. But | :49:20. | :49:21. | |
getting into a good routine can be tough, as the parents of toddler | :49:22. | :49:23. | |
Elise have been finding out. Was that you last night? Will it be | :49:24. | :50:58. | |
you to my? Stella has been in touch on Facebook. She has nine children. | :50:59. | :51:02. | |
How she has time to get on Facebook, I'm not sure! She says the first and | :51:03. | :51:06. | |
last of the nine a nightmare and from the age of nine months, would | :51:07. | :51:11. | |
not go to sleep. She would be for two or three hours every evening. | :51:12. | :51:15. | |
She there was no solution. She makes a point about kids being different | :51:16. | :51:18. | |
because she has nine and has a similar happen with all of them but | :51:19. | :51:21. | |
the first and the last were problematic. Terry has been in touch | :51:22. | :51:27. | |
from Basingstoke and he says that to get his young grandsons is that he | :51:28. | :51:30. | |
would read him a book and eventually he would be fast asleep and so would | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
Terry! Even when you are watching that and see people yawn, you start | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
to yawn! When you get to that stage where your children get to bed after | :51:40. | :51:43. | |
you, that is a rite of passage! Get in touch in the usual way. There is | :51:44. | :51:51. | |
more on that with the figures from hospitals in Panorama: Sleepless | :51:52. | :51:53. | |
Britain at 8:30pm, just before bedtime, on Monday on BBC One. | :51:54. | :52:00. | |
Tens of thousands of bank staff across the UK are to be given | :52:01. | :52:03. | |
special training by the police to help spot fraud. | :52:04. | :52:05. | |
It comes after a growing number of cases where people | :52:06. | :52:07. | |
who are often elderly or vulnerable are duped by fraudsters into taking | :52:08. | :52:10. | |
thousands of pounds out of their accounts over the counter. | :52:11. | :52:12. | |
BBC Radio 4's Money Box programme has been looking into this. | :52:13. | :52:15. | |
Presenter Lesley Curwen joins us now from our London newsroom. | :52:16. | :52:21. | |
Good morning. Can you tell us a bit about what type of fraud we are | :52:22. | :52:28. | |
talking about? We are talking about the kind of fraud where people are | :52:29. | :52:31. | |
duped into going into their bank branch to take out large amounts of | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
cash over-the-counter to pay to the fraudsters. They're often older | :52:37. | :52:41. | |
people. This could be any kind of scam, and investment scam, a romance | :52:42. | :52:47. | |
scam. Quite often, it is rogue traders who persuade people to hand | :52:48. | :52:51. | |
over large amounts of cash. One case study that we had on Money Box | :52:52. | :52:55. | |
recently was a couple in their 60s who took out a total of ?100,000 | :52:56. | :53:02. | |
from one bank branch. They went in 32 times over the course of eight | :53:03. | :53:07. | |
weeks and at no point were they stopped all were the police called. | :53:08. | :53:13. | |
All this money went to fraudsters. Utters a shocking story. What are | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
the police doing about it? Together the police and the banks have come | :53:18. | :53:23. | |
up with something called the Banking Protocol Mbeya training bank staff | :53:24. | :53:25. | |
to look for specific signs that someone may have been victim to a | :53:26. | :53:32. | |
fraudster. They can ring the police up and give a special password. The | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
police who have been trained in this undertake that they will go to the | :53:37. | :53:39. | |
bank branch or to the person's house immediately. Shouldn't they be doing | :53:40. | :53:47. | |
this already, looking out for Spitzer persist behaviour? It is a | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
fair point and one we put to a body that represents the banking industry | :53:52. | :53:57. | |
in this area. They said this formalises the links between the | :53:58. | :53:59. | |
police and the banks and means that when bank staff are worried, police | :54:00. | :54:05. | |
can act straightaway. This was a trial so do you think it will be | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
rolled out more extensively? It is definitely going to be rolled up | :54:11. | :54:14. | |
more extensively. I can give you a few brief figures. There were 16 | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
arrests just a mistrial in London and ?1.4 million was stopped from | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
going out of people's accounts so, yes, this will be rolled out across | :54:24. | :54:30. | |
the country. And for those who might have vulnerable or elderly relatives | :54:31. | :54:33. | |
who they are worried about, have you got advice for things to watch out | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
for? I would watch out for people seeming more worried about life and | :54:39. | :54:45. | |
their finances. If they've got a builder or a trader coming in, check | :54:46. | :54:51. | |
it out. Don't just assume that this trade is somebody who is reputable. | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
Find out about them, talk to your relative about it, make sure they're | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
not being pressured, because this can be a form of abuse if it goes | :55:02. | :55:08. | |
on. Thank you very much. That is Leslie, the presenter of Money Box, | :55:09. | :55:09. | |
which will be on Radio 4 at midday. Joe Orton's plays shocked, | :55:10. | :55:16. | |
amused and challenged the public's attitudes towards gay people, | :55:17. | :55:18. | |
in a time when homosexuality To mark 50 years since | :55:19. | :55:20. | |
he was killed by his gay lover, Orton's most famous play, | :55:21. | :55:26. | |
What The Butler Saw, is being put on stage | :55:27. | :55:28. | |
in his home town of Leicester. Our Midlands correspondent | :55:29. | :55:30. | |
Sima Kotecha went along I went to the ordinary sort | :55:31. | :55:32. | |
of school that all children go to and then I didn't get | :55:33. | :55:40. | |

dim, but I didn't get Joe Orton, speaking just days before | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
he was murdered by his lover, To some, the playwright is a gay | :55:48. | :55:56. | |
icon who challenged attitudes through black humour | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
and witty scripting. What The Butler Saw, for many, | :56:01. | :56:03. | |
is one of his best plays. At the curve theatre | :56:04. | :56:15. | |
in his hometown of Leicester, actors rehearse a scene packed | :56:16. | :56:17. | |
with sexual innuendo, I mean, he is having a go at the way | :56:18. | :56:24. | |
society is organised. His younger sister never knew | :56:25. | :56:40. | |
he was gay when he was alive. Of course, during that era, | :56:41. | :56:43. | |
homosexuality was illegal What are your thoughts around | :56:44. | :56:45. | |
homosexuality in society today? There are still cultures that | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
are not accepting of being gay, which I think is very, | :56:51. | :56:59. | |
very sad because, you know, we don't always choose who we're | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
going to fall in love with. Orton's critics sometimes | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
describe him as confused and perverted but his discussion | :57:08. | :57:16. | |
of taboos in 1960s There is still so much | :57:17. | :57:18. | |
inequality, so much injustice, when it comes to sexuality, | :57:19. | :57:26. | |
gender identity, which is a massive theme within the play, | :57:27. | :57:28. | |
women's equality, freedom generally, so it feels like it was ahead | :57:29. | :57:34. | |
of its time then and it certainly His family understand that not | :57:35. | :57:38. | |

narrowly remains the largest party in Northern Ireland | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
after a snap election. But the result means | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
they're now just one seat having entered | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
the election 10 ahead. The DUP emerged with 28 seats, | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
and Sinn Fein with 27. The parties now have three weeks | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
to establish a government. This report, from our | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler, If walking out of Government | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
was a gamble for Sinn They increased their share | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
of the vote and narrow the gap They increased their share | :02:08. | :02:20. | |
of the vote and narrowed the gap between them and their own coalition | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
partners, the DUP. But the result leaves major | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
questions about the future of power-sharing in Northern | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Ireland. I said consistently throughout | :02:28. | :02:28. | |
the campaign that Sinn Fein are not interested in going back | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
to the status quo. The DUP need to fundamentally | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
change their ways and be true to the principles of power-sharing | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
if they want to go back Sinn Fein had called for the DUP | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
leader, Arlene Foster, to step aside as First Minister | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
during a public enquiry When she refused, Sinn Fein left | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
the coalition Government, There is work to be done and work | :02:46. | :02:50. | |

Mercedes-Benz is to recall around one million cars because they're | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
It's because of a fault found within newer models which can cause | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
It's thought around 75,000 cars in the UK could be affected, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
but Mercedes says the risk to customers is small. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
The models at fault include some A, B, C, and E-class cars | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
as well as Mercedes' CLA, GLA and GLC vehicles. | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
Anyone who's bought a car between 2015 and 2017 could be affected. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Mercedes say they're aware of 51 fires so far, | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
but that no deaths or injuries had been recorded. | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
It's thought owners will be contacted later this year. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Reports from France suggest the owner of Peugeot and Citroen has | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
reached an agreement to buy Vauxhall. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
The deal has been subject to three weeks of talks, | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
but there are concerns about what it could mean for the thousands | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Vauxhall builds the Vivaro van at Luton. | :04:35. | :04:51. | |
Around 70,000 rolled off the production line last year. | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
And at Elsemere port about 120,000 Vauxhall Astras | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
As well as those employed directly by GM, thousands more work | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
There are also 15,000 people in the pension scheme, | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
They have already been told that they will be no worse | :05:03. | :05:12. | |
The good news is that the PSA group, which owns Peugeot and Citroen, | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
has promised not to cut any jobs in the UK before 2020, and | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
PSA's boss Carlo Tavares has already had talks on the phone | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
There were reassuring words but no promises were made. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
Vauxhall is set to become the second-biggest carmaker after VW. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
French Government has a 14% in this and | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
there are fears French jobs will come ahead | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
The Unite Secretary, Len McCluskey, has been involved in talks | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
He called Vauxhall a jewel within the crown of GM's European business. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
Last autumn, the Government did a deal to keep Nissan in Sunderland. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
The company was promised free access to European markets whatever | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
PSA may well seek similar assurances. | :06:06. | :06:15. | |
The UK may be able to leave the European Union | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
That's the view of constitution experts in the House of Lords today. | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
Our political correspondent, Ellie Price, joins us now | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
Ellie, it's been reported that the EU might demand | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
a so-called "divorce bill" of billions of pounds. | :06:33. | :06:33. | |
If Brexit is a divorce, then we are talking about the alimony. | :06:34. | :06:45. | |
We are talking about the EU budget, some of the parts of that that | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Who is going to pay Britain's contribution, contribution | :06:51. | :07:03. | |
there is as a gesture and that this could be 60 billion ?52 billion, | :07:04. | :07:26. | |
but estimates vary how much that But what this report suggests today | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
is that there is no legal obligation for the British Government to pay | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
anything when Whaley. for the British Government | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
to pay anything. But, and it a big but, | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
there is if we want to continue a relationship with the EU, | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
and a Theresa May has made it plain that she wants to have a good | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
trading deal with the EU, the report today suggests that | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
Britain needs to have some kind of decent deal sorted with the EU | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
to sort out those ongoing relationships, and it's that | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
political calculation that Companies that use confusing small | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
print to mislead customers face The Chancellor will announce plans | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
to help people avoid so-called "subscription traps" by making sure | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
customers are notified also, simplifying the small print. | :08:11. | :08:24. | |
Citizens advice is to serve the terms and conditions, not realising | :08:25. | :08:34. | |
they are caught in a consumer trap. We will talk to a consumer adviser | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
from Money-saving Expert. Sir Bruce Forsyth has | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
reportedly returned home, after spending five | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
nights in intensive care. The 89-year-old was being treated | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
for a severe chest infection. In a statement released | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
by his agent, Sir Bruce said he wanted to "say a special thank | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
you to all the NHS doctors, nurses and staff" for their | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
"kindness and care". If you are feeling delicate | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
after a pub crawl last night then be grateful that you didn't | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
do this pub crawl. It's got to be the world's | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
longest pub crawl. One group of friends has visited | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
20-thousand boozers over three Since then, the group's | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
co-founder Pete Hill has I love how he has got a couple of | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
chasers too. Along the way, Mr | :09:26. | :09:50. | |
Hill's collected tens by asking for a ?1 donation | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
from each landlord. I bet he could write a good pub | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
review book. I bet he can't remember most of it! | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
The president of Sinn Fein, Gerry Adams, has hailed | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
the success of his party in the Northern Ireland Assembly | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
elections, saying people had voted for an end to "the old status quo". | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
With all the votes counted, Sinn Fein have ended up with 27 | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
seats, just one behind the Democratic Unionists. | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
Our correspondent, Annita McVeigh, joins us from Belfast's City Hall. | :10:22. | :10:33. | |
Sinn Fein, undoubtedly the big winners in this day after the | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
Is huge change in ten months. We've heard from a senior Unionist figure | :10:36. | :11:07. | |
this morning, and we asked about what this might mean for the future | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
and possible return to devolved Government. Lord Trimble said this | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
may take time, and Kurt go to direct rule from Westminster, which is one | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
of the possible situations that Northern Ireland politics find | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
itself in now. They have three weeks to elect a new First Minister and | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
Deputy First Minister, but the signs are pointing towards them being | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
unable to do that. To discuss this, we have Barney Rowe. This election | :11:47. | :11:55. | |
was decided in a photo finish. The DUP with 28 seats and Sinn Fein with | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
27. 40 designated unionists, 39 who are designated Nationalists, so | :12:05. | :12:14. | |
already, one Unionist leader resigning. There will be questions | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
about Arlene Foster, given that a number of seats has gone down by | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
ten. In terms of votes, just a little over 1000 votes separating | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
the DUP and Sinn Fein. That's how close it is and it could have gone | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
the other way. What does this mean for Arlene Foster, is her position | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
as leader in doubt? I think some people will undoubtedly raise | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
questions. That often happens when parties have bad elections. Sinn | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
Fein, with a spring in its step. The next situation is that of | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
negotiation, as you mentioned, David Trimble. I don't think there is any | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
realistic possibility. There are many shocks in the aftermath of this | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
election result. The Ulster Unionists increased their | :13:13. | :13:26. | |
boat, could they become a power broker? The Green party also held | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
onto those two seats they had. So this could suggest that they punched | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
well above their weight in this election. The alliance leader has | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
been impressive in the leaders debates. I think when we get to a | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
negotiation, if it is left simply to the DUP, Sinn Fein, the two | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
governments, it won't work. There are questions as to whether the | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
British Secretary of State should check these negotiations. But we | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
believe there should be an independent chair. I think David | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
Trimble is right that we do need to press a pause button, take time. In | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
many senses, this is the last chance to get this right. The result means | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
the DUP has lost its veto, the e-petition of concern, before it | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
collapsed in January, because Sinn Fein felt that the DUP was at the | :14:44. | :14:54. | |
timing many issues they had, for example, the protection of the Irish | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
language. It's these legacy issues that are a big concern, the ones we | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
were talking about, historical issues in Northern Ireland. | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
Addressing the past is something we have had consultation and | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
negotiation on for ten years. So I think the people who are trying to | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
negotiate it are too close to it, that's why we need outside an | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
international help. Someone who isn't stitched into the fabric of | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
this place, emotionally involved, look at what is realistically | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
achievable and then put that on the table. Thank you, Barney. In terms | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
of the timetable, the members of the assembly have three weeks, taking us | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
the 27th of March to select a new First Minister and Deputy First | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Minister. It's looking highly unlikely in that time frame, think | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
everyone agrees, but the Secretary of State and the may try to find | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
time for mod discussions to take place rather than taking the drastic | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
step of returning to direct rule, or even causing another election. Now, | :16:09. | :16:20. | |
the weather looked all right in Belfast. We've got some mixed | :16:21. | :16:35. | |
fortunes. Many of us will see heavy showers at times. Prolonged spells | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
of rain across Scotland with Hill snow too. Low pressure, the driving | :16:39. | :16:47. | |
force of the weather. We've got that hill snow across Scotland. Many | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
central and eastern parts of the country singer good deal of dry | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
weather. Some hazy sunshine to be in joint. Lighter winds towards the | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
east. 3pm, this rain is pushing towards the north, hill snow also. | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
The central and eastern parts of England, any rain clearing will mean | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
it looks decent for Norwich. Heading across England and Wales, some brisk | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
winds rolling here throughout the day too. Where we have heavy | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
showers, they drift further north eastwards. Strong winds across the | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
bar north of Scotland. A bit of a respite for some of us, but through | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
the early hours of Sunday, the next actual brain works its way in. | :17:44. | :17:54. | |
Sunday's weather, dominated by this cold front. Low-pressure clearing | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
away from Scotland. Still some showers, the Northern Ireland | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
commerce show was, but some drier, right out weather. England and Wales | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
are thing this band of whether providing heavy showers further on | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
in the day. 7-8 in the north, 11-12 Celsius, further south. We will see | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
some drier, brighter weather developing. All in all, it's not | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
looking like a bad picture. Now - be honest - how many times | :18:28. | :18:39. | |
have you genuinely looked at all the small print before | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
signing up to a free offer? You usually just click and pass over | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
it! Citizens Advice says two thirds | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
of us skim through without reading. It means more of us are finding | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
ourselves automatically signed up to pay for a service when the offer | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
ends, whether that's at the gym, The Government is now planning a way | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
of getting the best out of this. In next week's Budget we'll hear | :19:01. | :19:15. | |
more detail on the government's plans to help us avoid these | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
so-called "subscription traps". Let's talk to Guy Anker, Managing | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
Editor at Money Saving Expert. They want to crack down on what we | :19:21. | :19:31. | |
know as a free trial. It happens with gyms, the TVs and other | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
streaming services, and wider duty clubs. We should check what is | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
coming up after the free trial is over, but companies need to do more. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
We will often see free trial blazoned across the front and then | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
it will charge you extra per month after. You should check to make | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
sure. If you are someone who hasn't signed up for something monthly, and | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
you are being charged when you didn't want to be, what rights do | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
you have as a consumer to cancel it. You can cancel it with your bank, | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
bet you may end up in a fight with the company, because the bank is the | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
middleman. Some companies allow you to get a refund if you ask. Certain | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
companies with creamy and services will allow this. I suggest anyone | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
who has been hit by this unexpected charge to e-mail the company and ask | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
for their money back. Often, when we talk about stories like this, | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
there's only so much the Government can do. Isn't the onus on us to read | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
the small print? There are two ways to look at it. You are absolutely | :20:59. | :21:07. | |
right, we should look, gym memberships are a classic one. They | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
sign up in January, ten months later noticed that 20- ?30 is coming out, | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
so it's a two-way street. This can happen with automatic renewals? Car | :21:23. | :21:32. | |
insurance is a classic where the renewable prices more than what he | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
would get in the small print. Always check exactly what you will be | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
paying. Guy, thank you very much. Always read the small print! Is that | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
what you do? You are watching breakfast. It's time to look at the | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
Saturday editions of the papers. Nazir Afzal is a former | :21:56. | :22:06. | |
CPS prosecutor. He's here to tell us | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
what's caught his eye Uber have been in the news a lot | :22:09. | :22:29. | |
haven't they? They are arguing their drivers didn't have too have a | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
written exam to demonstrate their knowledge of English. They are now | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
suggesting that after losing the case, 40,000 drivers could lose | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
their jobs because they can't pass a language test. The argument against | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
that, is if you need to know how to get from one place to another, you | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
need to know what that looks like. The public expect some contact and | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
communication with their driver. But if you think about it, soon we may | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
have driverless cars, and then it will be no driver at all. I | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
personally believe that the person you are speaking to should be able | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
to speak English. That this was a written exam. -- but this was a | :23:22. | :23:36. | |
written exam. I picked up this story about Oprah Winfrey, she is now | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
canvassing whether she would stand for president of the United States | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
following the success of Donald Trump. The view is that she has | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
thought about it for many years. She is now quite serious about it. There | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
are other celebrities as well, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian 's. The | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
question is now whether we should have directly elected leaders in | :24:05. | :24:15. | |
this country? JK rolling, The Chuckle Brothers, and have we gone | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
to a society that is personality- driven and the policies don't matter | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
any more. A lot of people felt that they knew Donald Trump because | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
they'd seen him on television for so many years. They've trusted and | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
liked him because they thought of him as a friend. If you are in your | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
lounge watching somebody they in, day out, like you two, then I would | :24:44. | :24:55. | |
no doubt vote for you at some point! This is a story about how you go to | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
the car wash but it's not necessarily what you think. I've | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
been working with lawyers regarding the anti-slavery bill,. There are | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
many people being forced to work in car washes, and nail bars. They | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
don't get the kind of rights that employees should get, overtime, | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
sickness, and there are consequences if you decide not to work on a | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
particular day. I'm glad it is being highlighted and we should always be | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
asking if we are getting something cheap, where is it coming from? With | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
the pressures on our income, people are looking for cheaper options. | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
Forced labour is rising its head above the radar and we need to be | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
more concerned and aware of that. You've picked out a story on child | :25:52. | :26:05. | |
protection, Justine Greening. The Government have made it clear it's | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
not their intention, following a week where comments were made about | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
whether policing can cope with the number of cases being brought. | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
Victims require justice. Just this costs money. We have spent last year | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
?1 billion of tackling child sex abuse, and we need to stand this at | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
this challenging times. With your prosecuting background, can assist | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
system code? It can, but at the expense of other areas. I think this | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
point was made in the HM RC, that policing isn't as strong as it could | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
have been. Some areas of crime are not getting the attention they would | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
normally get. Cybercrime isn't getting the attention it needs | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
because child sexual abuse comes first. I've seen horrific types of | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
crimes, child abuse images, and we've got to address the question is | :27:08. | :27:18. | |
there an alternative to challenging these problems? Thank you very much. | :27:19. | :27:26. | |
We're on BBC One until 10am this morning, when Michel Roux Jr takes | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
I've just called him Michael, haven't I? I believe we've got a | :27:31. | :27:44. | |

is the fabulous Jennifer Saunders. You are launching the Take The | :27:52. | :27:56. | |

We are doing eight Tuscan peasant pot soup, purple sprouting broccoli, | :28:30. | :28:51. | |

one seat ahead of Sinn Fein, which increased its share | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
of the vote. The parties now have three weeks | :30:07. | :30:07. | |

that's the view of a House Its report says Britain would not be | :30:40. | :30:41. | |

by his agent, Sir Bruce said he wanted to "say a special thank | :31:29. | :31:33. | |
you to all the NHS doctors, nurses and staff" for their | :31:34. | :31:37. | |

particularly for Eoin Morgan. A really good century. Holed he looks | :32:12. | :32:13. | |
like he is saying, told you! England beat West Indies by 45 runs | :32:14. | :32:19. | |

in the three match series, with the second game tomorrow | :32:31. | :32:34. | |
at the same ground. Andy Murray said it | :32:35. | :32:38. | |
wasn't the best match - but victory over Lucas Pouille | :32:39. | :32:40. | |
took him through to the final Murray admitted his legs were a bit | :32:41. | :32:42. | |
tired after his quarterfinal against Philipp Kohlschriber, | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
which included a tie-break of over half an hour - | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
but he beat Pouille in straight sets and he'll face Fernando | :32:51. | :32:53. | |
Verdasco in today's final. Some big wins this week, | :32:54. | :33:00. | |
so it will be a tricky match, because he is a leftie | :33:01. | :33:03. | |
and he goes for his shots. He has a lot of power, | :33:04. | :33:06. | |
a lot of talent in his hands, so I'll try, you know, | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
try to dictate as many points as I can, because when he's | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
on the baseline moving the ball After last weekend's League Cup | :33:13. | :33:14. | |
final, it's back to a full weekend Liverpool-Arsenal at | :33:15. | :33:25. | |
tea-time is the big one. And in the lunchtime kick-off, | :33:26. | :33:27. | |
the winners of that League Cup final, Manchester United, | :33:28. | :33:30. | |
take on struggling Bournemouth, who've gone seven matches | :33:31. | :33:32. | |
without a win in the league. We're excited by this game. I think | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
we can only be positive and look to the future in a positive way to talk | :33:37. | :33:41. | |
certainly, there is no other way to approach this or any other game. | :33:42. | :33:46. | |
We're as confident as we can be with our other fixtures. We know a win is | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
needed to fully feel good about ourselves and, hopefully, that's not | :33:51. | :33:52. | |
so far away. We know that Liverpool plays | :33:53. | :33:59. | |
Arsenal, which is one of these weekends where you know for sure | :34:00. | :34:05. | |
that somebody is going to lose a point, so we should win against | :34:06. | :34:11. | |
Bournemouth but Bournemouth is a very tricky team, very dangerous | :34:12. | :34:12. | |
team. It's Scottish Cup quarterfinal day, | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
with Rangers against Hamilton Academical in the 12:30 | :34:16. | :34:17. | |

beaten in this event - it's his 13th world title | :35:16. | :35:18. | |
in a career that also includes four Certainly getting harder as I'm | :35:19. | :35:32. | |
getting older, that's for sure, like the recovery afterwards. I don't | :35:33. | :35:34. | |
know whether it's just because I'm getting older or the fact that we | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
had seven weeks to get ready for it. I think both of those things came | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
into play, so when I crossed the line, I but the crowd and I really | :35:43. | :35:47. | |
struggled. The only reason I got up off the floor is because there was | :35:48. | :35:51. | |
the medal presentation. I was pretty out of it for a little while. | :35:52. | :36:00. | |
After all the talk, some of it not too pleasant, | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
Tony Bellew and David Haye will go head to head tonight - | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
you can follow it on BBC 5 live from ten o'clock. | :36:07. | :36:09. | |
Bellew, the world cruiserweight champion, is fighting for the first | :36:10. | :36:11. | |
And he was nearly a stone lighter than Haye on the scales. | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
He is prepared and ready to perform for the two-round fight. | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
He is not really a heavyweight right now. | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
Aesthetically there he looks fantastic. | :36:25. | :36:27. | |
When you get close to him he is trembling. | :36:28. | :36:29. | |
He is not as confident and he does not believe the things he is saying. | :36:30. | :36:36. | |
I look at him, he is actually trembling. | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
I was hoping he would look a little bit more physically impressive. | :36:41. | :36:42. | |
You know, some type of remnants of abdominal muscles of some sort, | :36:43. | :36:50. | |
but he looked very smooth, he didn't look good in my opinion, | :36:51. | :36:53. | |
You know, I have knocked out guys a lot bigger, | :36:54. | :37:02. | |
stronger and more athletic than him, so I don't see what he can do other | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
I reckon there is a bromance. You think they will just hugged | :37:06. | :37:19. | |
afterwards and it will be fine? I'm not so sure! It is all part of the | :37:20. | :37:25. | |
theatre boss and that they have these are stand-offs and press | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
conferences but it must be really hard to then go back to sitting on | :37:29. | :37:32. | |
the punditry Sova side-by-side, having said all those horrible | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
things about each other. They work together? Yeah. It is a really big | :37:36. | :37:42. | |
day of sport so if you want to sit on the sofa all day, you could watch | :37:43. | :37:46. | |
BBC Two now, the indoor Championships in Belgrade, all the | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
way through to the fight which is at 10pm tonight. Shall we just stay | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
here? We've got loads of Tetley's! I've got my coffee it will be fine. | :37:56. | :38:06. | |
It's not normally a good idea, but "ice biking" is becoming | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
a booming sport all over the world - especially in Scandinavia. | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
Now it's arrived in the UK too, so naturally we sent our own | :38:14. | :38:16. | |
For some of us, ice skating can be a bit of a challenge. | :38:17. | :38:22. | |
Unless you do it regularly, well, it can be quite a bit of pain | :38:23. | :38:26. | |
But at Tamworth, there is now a new way for us all to get up to speed on | :38:27. | :38:38. | |
the ice. Under starters orders and ready | :38:39. | :38:40. | |
to go, one of Scandinavia's popular new sports has arrived on the ice | :38:41. | :38:43. | |
in the UK as well now. On these ice bikes, back | :38:44. | :38:46. | |
wheels have been replaced. Some people are afraid of ice | :38:47. | :38:53. | |
skating and afraid of falling over and giving it a try, | :38:54. | :38:56. | |
this is a lot more inclusive. You haven't got to worry about | :38:57. | :38:59. | |
falling over or anything like that. This takes some getting | :39:00. | :39:04. | |
used to at first. Especially the way you glide | :39:05. | :39:12. | |
around those corners. When there can be contact in these | :39:13. | :39:24. | |
frantic wheel-to-wheel touches, these slightest nudges | :39:25. | :39:27. | |
will send you into a spin, even more so in these races | :39:28. | :39:29. | |
held across Scandinavia and the Netherlands in which riders | :39:30. | :39:31. | |
reach speeds of 25 mph. And this sport, which is changing | :39:32. | :39:34. | |
perceptions about cycling on ice, has now spread as far as Mexico | :39:35. | :39:37. | |
as well as in the UK. You are pedalling furiously | :39:38. | :39:40. | |
to try to get up speed and then It is very fast, like, | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
you can lose it quite hard on the corners but it is | :39:45. | :39:52. | |
so much fun to do it. It is a bit like | :39:53. | :39:55. | |
a spin class on ice. In Scandinavia they can hold | :39:56. | :39:57. | |
the longer races on frozen lakes, and while Tamworth doesn't have such | :39:58. | :40:00. | |
icy exposures they do hold a Tour de It is a way of exposing you to | :40:01. | :40:17. | |
something new, pushing you out of your comfort zone, maybe, and | :40:18. | :40:22. | |
introducing you to things you have never seen before. | :40:23. | :40:24. | |
It looks more stable than I thought it would! | :40:25. | :40:38. | |
If you are watching us in your pyjamas right now, which is probably | :40:39. | :40:44. | |
very possible, the theory is that getting out of them and getting | :40:45. | :40:47. | |
dressed will actually make you feel better. You have been told! That is | :40:48. | :40:52. | |
what nurses in Nottingham believe and they had an idea which they call | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
PJ Paralysis and it has turned into a global movement. They are | :40:57. | :41:00. | |
campaigning and encouraging patients in hospitals to get up and get | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
dressed and get out and about as early as they possibly can when they | :41:05. | :41:07. | |
are staying in hospital. We are going to talk about this in a minute | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
but Rob Sissons has been on the wards to find out more. | :41:12. | :41:14. | |
Forget your own pyjamas when you come to hospital | :41:15. | :41:16. | |
and you end up in this, NHS uniform, but the concern is that too many | :41:17. | :41:19. | |
patients are spending too long in their pyjamas. | :41:20. | :41:21. | |
They have got a catchphrase for it in the NHS, they call | :41:22. | :41:24. | |
Yes, at Nottingham hospitals they want more patients to get | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
They say they will feel better and also maybe even recover | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
On ward B49 at the Queen's Medical Centre, they encourage patients | :41:35. | :41:41. | |
to get out of their bedclothes during the day. | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
You feel totally different when you're getting dressed | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
I have brought some of my own clothes in but I have a problem | :41:51. | :41:56. | |
because of my leg, getting clothes on and off at the moment. | :41:57. | :41:59. | |
These nurses want to see less of what they call pyjama paralysis | :42:00. | :42:02. | |
but stress patients should always have the choice. | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
Many patients tell us they feel more comfortable in their own clothes | :42:08. | :42:10. | |
to mobilise around the ward, to walk to the dining room. | :42:11. | :42:16. | |
But on ward C4, Jacqueline has been in hospital three weeks and has | :42:17. | :42:20. | |
It's cool and comfortable essentially because it's very warm | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
on these wards, yes, and I just want to relax. | :42:25. | :42:28. | |
It is about changing a culture, and they are so convinced they have | :42:29. | :42:36. | |
started a new wardrobe, some spare donated clothes for any | :42:37. | :42:38. | |
Joining us now is Ann-Marie Riley, Deputy Chief Nurse at | :42:39. | :42:45. | |
She helped get the idea off the ground. | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
Good morning. Such a simple idea but it looks like it really has made a | :42:51. | :42:58. | |
massive difference. It has. The teams who work with the patients the | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
closest are doing the initiatives, which is fantastic. They are working | :43:03. | :43:06. | |
very closely with physios and occupational therapists so it is a | :43:07. | :43:10. | |
real team effort to see what we can do to keep patients as fit and | :43:11. | :43:14. | |
active as we can. How does it work? What is the theory behind it? If you | :43:15. | :43:20. | |
are in bed for a long time, you can get muscle wastage, it affects your | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
digester, your concentration, so there are lots of benefits of | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
keeping active and that's what we're trying to if a patient can feel able | :43:29. | :43:35. | |
to, we support them. By getting out of bed and changing clothes, that is | :43:36. | :43:43. | |
helping. Just getting out of getting dressed. I'm wondering about space | :43:44. | :43:45. | |
because space is limited in hospitals because you as much room | :43:46. | :43:49. | |
for beds as you can add a Rouen turns up with suitcases of clothes, | :43:50. | :43:56. | |
you're going to run out of room. That it is conversations with | :43:57. | :44:01. | |
families. We talk about what we're trying to achieve and they bring in | :44:02. | :44:05. | |
what they can for a few days. There are some patients who don't bring | :44:06. | :44:13. | |
their enclosing and if patients want to try the closeness of collectors, | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
that's fine. What has reaction be like from patients? It has been | :44:19. | :44:23. | |
really positive. If you Google a hospital patient, all of the images | :44:24. | :44:26. | |
are of patients in pyjamas or gowns in the bed but sometimes we tell | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
them, you don't have to be in pyjamas, you can be in your own | :44:32. | :44:33. | |
clothes and it is quite empowering to be dressed. I wonder if you are | :44:34. | :44:38. | |
lying in hospital and an assist to you, get your clothes on and get out | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
of bed, you might feel you are trying to be rushed out of the | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
hospital because they want rid of you. That is about how we | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
communicate with patients. If they manage to get home a bit earlier | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
because they haven't wasted as much muscle strength in bed, fantastic, | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
but it is certainly not an edition of trying to push patients out of | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
hospital earlier but that might be one of the benefits we do get. There | :45:01. | :45:04. | |
is so much pressure on you guys at the moment, we've talked about it | :45:05. | :45:07. | |
loads and it is in the headlines all the time, and are these the type of | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
ideas you guys are thinking of, that don't involve money, it's about | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
little things you can do? Yeah, it's a way that the hospital staff can | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
have a positive influence on a patient's outcome. They are leading | :45:21. | :45:23. | |
all the work, I'm just a mechanism to be able to share what they are | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
doing, which is fantastic. They are thinking of ways they can help their | :45:28. | :45:30. | |
patient and that will differ on different wards and different | :45:31. | :45:35. | |
hospital. It is really interesting and so simple. Thank you very much | :45:36. | :45:39. | |
indeed. Good luck with it. It has been picked up all over the world, | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
you've had enquiries? It is all across the UK, it is amazing how | :45:44. | :45:48. | |
fast it has spread. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and it has just | :45:49. | :45:52. | |
started to move into America. Thanks for getting out of your PJ is to | :45:53. | :45:56. | |
come and see us this morning! And if you are watching in your | :45:57. | :45:58. | |
pyjamas, get out of them. No excuse. Let's find out what's happening with | :45:59. | :46:07. | |
the weather with Sarah. We have a serene start Ambleside, | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
captured by a Weather Watcher an hour ago. Some decent weather today, | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
a bit of sunshine, but not everywhere will be so tranquil | :46:18. | :46:21. | |
during the course of the day. Low-pressure is driving the weather. | :46:22. | :46:24. | |
We have a front sitting across Scotland, bringing a lot of rain | :46:25. | :46:31. | |
until slow -- rain and kilts no. Central and eastern areas will see | :46:32. | :46:34. | |
the best of the dry and bright weather. As we had through the | :46:35. | :46:38. | |
course of the day, further showers rattle in across westerly part of | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
the UK, so the south-west of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
the Isle of Man. Further north, more persistent rain in Scotland and hill | :46:48. | :46:53. | |
snow pushing northwards. We will continue to see the heavy showers | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
rattling in across Northern Ireland, in towards the north-west of England | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
during the afternoon. Central and eastern England faring better in | :47:02. | :47:06. | |
terms of sunny, dry weather. 12 or so with light winds, where is | :47:07. | :47:09. | |
further west the winds are driving the heavy, blustery showers across | :47:10. | :47:13. | |
Devon, Cornwall, Wales and the Isle of Man. This evening, showers and | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
the West drift north eastwards and there will be quieter weather | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
towards the south-east tonight but during the early hours of Sunday, | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
the next band into southern and western parts of the country. A wet | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
and windy start to Sunday across the bulk of Wales and the south-west of | :47:30. | :47:32. | |
England and this weather front will be a real feature of the weather. It | :47:33. | :47:37. | |
will be drifting slowly west to east across England and Wales. Further | :47:38. | :47:40. | |
north, low-pressure starting to clear away from Scotland. For | :47:41. | :47:45. | |
Scotland, and improved sort of day, still windy and wet to the far north | :47:46. | :47:53. | |
but fewer showers for Scotland and Northern Ireland. England and Wales | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
continue to see wet weather moving eastwards through the course of | :47:57. | :47:58. | |
today, perhaps a bit of snowfall on the highest ground. Seven or eight | :47:59. | :48:02. | |
in the north but a milder 11 in the South. The unsettled theme stays | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
with us into the working week. Still some rain around, particularly | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
towards the north and west, but not a complete wash-out. Many of us will | :48:12. | :48:14. | |
see drier and brighter weather by Tuesday. | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
We've followed their story from the very start. | :48:20. | :48:41. | |
The four mums who made history by rowing across the Atlantic Ocean | :48:42. | :48:44. | |
They're known as the Yorkshire Rows and now their extraordinary tale has | :48:45. | :48:48. | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been catching up with them. | :48:49. | :48:51. | |
They were the four ordinary mums who had had an extraordinary dream. | :48:52. | :48:54. | |
And now, to match their place in the record books, | :48:55. | :48:56. | |
This was the moment they set a world record, the moment | :48:57. | :49:02. | |
Yorkshire Rows had laughed and danced their way | :49:03. | :49:08. | |
across the Atlantic, or so we thought. | :49:09. | :49:11. | |
You never told us at the time, but there had been a huge row | :49:12. | :49:14. | |
Well, I had been rowing nonstop for two hours. | :49:15. | :49:26. | |
I then finished a shift, needed a wee, was in mid-flow | :49:27. | :49:28. | |
on the bucket, and skipper here told me to get off the bucket. | :49:29. | :49:34. | |
When a girl has to go, skipper, a girl has to go. | :49:35. | :49:37. | |
Yes, but we were in immediate danger. | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
They haven't stopped, from the moment the oars went down. | :49:42. | :49:59. | |
They have had invitations to the Palace, mixed with royalty, | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
they have mixed with celebrity, they have become celebrity. | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
The documentary about you is winning international film competitions, | :50:10. | :50:11. | |
I went to New York, we got a standing ovation. | :50:12. | :50:22. | |
Their story has spread from Yorkshire around the world, | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
as has their inspiration, which is why we have arranged | :50:28. | :50:29. | |
These ladies have been inspired to do exactly the same row, | :50:30. | :50:49. | |
When I saw them I thought, those ladies look just like me, | :50:50. | :50:57. | |
and if they can do it, then there is no reason why | :50:58. | :51:00. | |
These are the ladies who are going to take our record. | :51:01. | :51:07. | |
So it was Yorkshire Rows passed the baton to the Atlantic Ladies. | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
Is it time for them to put up their feet? | :51:12. | :51:16. | |
Niki and I are doing a six-day ultramarathon across the Sahara | :51:17. | :51:26. | |
We were saying about how it would be cracking to have an eye out with | :51:27. | :51:52. | |
them and Jayne McCubbin sent me a text saying, they are the best night | :51:53. | :51:59. | |
out. -- have a night out with them. We are going to stay on the high | :52:00. | :52:01. | |
seas for a bit of an expedition. It's one of the most infamous tales | :52:02. | :52:05. | |
in maritime history - Captain William Bligh and a handful | :52:06. | :52:09. | |
of loyal men were forced into a tiny Instead, they managed to navigate | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
4,000 miles to safety. You would have thought that was the | :52:15. | :52:21. | |
kind of thing you would consign to the history books. Nobody is going | :52:22. | :52:25. | |
to want to do that, are they? Wrong! 230 years later, nine men have set | :52:26. | :52:28. | |
out to recreate their gruelling journey, using similar equipment | :52:29. | :52:31. | |
and the same rations that Their challenge has been captured | :52:32. | :52:33. | |
in a new Channel 4 programme - When I'm on my deathbed, | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
I want to look back and say There is nothing normal | :52:38. | :52:41. | |
about being here, nothing. Your trouble is, you | :52:42. | :52:48. | |
don't like the truth. There should be a bit more to life | :52:49. | :52:52. | |
than working really hard and To make it through, | :52:53. | :52:55. | |
I think is a huge triumph. Joining us now are the leader of | :52:56. | :53:19. | |
the expedition, Anthony Middleton, You two... Are you all right? That | :53:20. | :53:47. | |
must have been hard! Over to you, Dan. What you see is what you get. | :53:48. | :53:55. | |
It was a pretty intense experience. But fun? Fun? For me it was fun but | :53:56. | :54:04. | |
like dancers, what you see is what you get. It was very important that | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
we kept it as authentic as possible so people saw the suffering, the | :54:09. | :54:13. | |
pain, the highs, lows and they are basically trying to keep history | :54:14. | :54:18. | |
alive. Let's talk about the history. Remind us what is the story you were | :54:19. | :54:25. | |
trying to recreate? Basically, back in 1789, Captain William Bligh was | :54:26. | :54:30. | |
tied up whilst he was asleep and thrown onto a survival boat, a | :54:31. | :54:40. | |
dinky, really, a wooden boat, with 18 others. They went expected to | :54:41. | :54:45. | |
survive and they went off on HMS Bounty and he was left for dead in | :54:46. | :54:50. | |
the South Pacific Ocean. When it was suggested that you try to recreate | :54:51. | :54:53. | |
this situation, you must have taken some persuading. At first, I went, | :54:54. | :55:01. | |
give me the boat, some men to put in the boat and I'll get the job done | :55:02. | :55:04. | |
but after two weeks, I was eating my words. It's interesting. That is the | :55:05. | :55:10. | |
first question you get asked, why on earth would you want to do anything | :55:11. | :55:16. | |
like that? But especially from my perspective, maybe it is a character | :55:17. | :55:21. | |
thing, but I came out from the other perspective and it was an incredible | :55:22. | :55:26. | |
opportunity to be able to document something that happened so many | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
years ago but has gone into folklore and our history and it is an amazing | :55:31. | :55:41. | |
opportunity. What where the highs? Er... Dig deep! The whole journey? | :55:42. | :55:47. | |
The loans for me... There were times of extreme heat, extreme wet and | :55:48. | :55:54. | |
really bad weather conditions and I think, for me, it is when you are in | :55:55. | :55:58. | |
the thick of it and you can't imagine when it is going to end and | :55:59. | :56:04. | |
you can't see when the end is coming because you don't know when the | :56:05. | :56:06. | |
weather is going to leave, when things are going to happen, so it is | :56:07. | :56:10. | |
just not knowing. We are seeing the boat you are on but you also get | :56:11. | :56:16. | |
shots of the boat, so there must be another boat and camera crew. Drones | :56:17. | :56:23. | |
were used and there was a safety boat sitting three nautical miles | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
off and that was just there if we had a life-threatening emergency. I | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
made it very clear from the beginning, the safety boat is not | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
there for us, we've got to get into the mindset of, the only way out of | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
this is to stick together as a team and get to safety, so the safety | :56:43. | :56:47. | |
boat was there but during the storms, the safety but couldn't come | :56:48. | :56:51. | |
in. We couldn't get a helicopter and because the storms were so bad. The | :56:52. | :56:55. | |
safety boat was just there to mark our position. I think we should have | :56:56. | :57:01. | |
another look at a clip. This is how your journey started on day one. | :57:02. | :57:08. | |
This is real now, guys, let's go. Prepare to host the sales. We've | :57:09. | :57:17. | |
been left for dead. A crew of nine strangers. Now we all have to | :57:18. | :57:22. | |
survive, basically. Ready to raise the jibber? | :57:23. | :57:34. | |
As you set off, your wife was pregnant, wasn't she? So you have | :57:35. | :57:42. | |
that going through your mind. I very much focused on the task ahead and | :57:43. | :57:48. | |
was quite selfish, really, and on the men. This was such a big, big | :57:49. | :57:53. | |
project and the seriousness of it, I didn't have time to think about it. | :57:54. | :57:58. | |
What did she think? ILife is one in a million. She looked at me and knew | :57:59. | :58:03. | |
I wanted to go off and play and she said, go on, then. And you called | :58:04. | :58:14. | |
your son... Bligh Middleton. It is fitting. It gives him something to | :58:15. | :58:21. | |
talk about when he gets a bit older. I've noticed on your wrong, you have | :58:22. | :58:28. | |
got tattooed. Yes, tattoos of ships and maybe Ron and stuff like that, | :58:29. | :58:34. | |
being ex-military. Thank you for coming in to talk to us. Mutinies | :58:35. | :58:42. | |
