This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
A new chapter for British car-making - the French company which owns | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
Citroen and Peugeot is expected to confirm that it's buying | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
The deal raises questions over the future of 4,000 jobs | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
at its Ellesmere Port and Luton plants - | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
and 30,000 more which depend on them. | :00:23. | :00:38. | |

This week The Chancellor will unveil his last spring Budget. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
All this week on Breakfast we're looking at what it means | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
To we are focusing on the millennial is, those born in the 80s and 90s. I | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
have come here to Aberdeen to see what these workers want for the | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
economy. as she adds the 3000 metre title | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
to her 1500 metre win at the European Indoor | :01:26. | :01:35. | |
Athletics Championships. Pollution is not a joke is the | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
message from students at this primary school. We are talking today | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
about cars idling outside schools and the damage it does. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
And Carol has the weather for us this morning. Good morning. Actually | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
start, some have frost, but for many it will be sunshine with some | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
showers. Rain across the south, blustery here, and snow would hide. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
I will have more details of about 15 minutes. | :02:07. | :02:06. | |
There's uncertainty for thousands of British car workers as a deal | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
that will see Vauxhall sold to the French owners of Peugeot | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
and Citroen, is expected to be announced within the next hour. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
The French car giant PSA wants to buy General Motors European | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
operations, which includes Vauxhall's plants in Ellesmere Port | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
and Luton, from where our reporter Simon Clemison joins us now. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Good morning. In the last hour, or in the last few minutes, we have | :02:30. | :02:43. | |
started to see people going into the plant here in Luton. The 6am start | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
has seen some nervousness from staff. What we are seeing today is | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
the car industry map of Europe being redrawn. We have known about the | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
potential for this deal for a couple of weeks, but today we are expecting | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
official combination -- confirmation that this could start to happen and | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
that cars made by a car giant could change hands. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
In the car industry, where used to car brands been owned by the same | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
company. But if the European arm of General Motors makes this | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
acquisition, it could be a huge move, making the French manufacturer | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
the second biggest on the continent, after VW. But there are now fears | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
for jobs that the unions as they are fighting for. More than 1900 people | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
produce the Astra at Ellesmere Port. Thousands more are employed in the | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
supply chain. They're about 1400 workers at Luton, making one of | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
Vauxhall's fans. If workers here eventually have new bosses in | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
France, rather than in America, there are questions over how they | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
may look to balance the books. Commentators say they have the | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
capacity to build more cars at the players they are ready control. The | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
government has been speaking to the French group, PSA. Staff have been | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
given reassurances. But there are concerns for jobs and pensions once | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
existing contracts start expiring 2020 one. -- 2021. | :04:20. | :04:31. | |
This is go to BA complexes and complex arrangement. Aggression is | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
what happens after that. What happens if Peugeot does what lots of | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
manufacturers do, with a van, and put a Vauxhall badge on it? We don't | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
know what will happen. It is all speculation at the moment. What we | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
do know is that we will see some or we are hoping to see some kind of | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
detail today. But this company is at the moment making a loss. So if they | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
want to make a profit, they will have to do something. We are | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
expecting some detail today, but these are details that many of the | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
workers will want. Thank you for joining us, Simon. More on that | :05:12. | :05:12. | |
throughout the morning. Britain's most senior anti-terrorism | :05:13. | :05:13. | |
officer has revealed that thirteen potential terror attacks have been | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
prevented since June 2013. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
is launching a campaign, encouraging people to report | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
suspicious activity. Here's our Home Affairs | :05:22. | :05:22. | |
Correspondent Daniel Sandford. The moment caught on a security | :05:23. | :05:38. | |
camera when this man visited a bag of fertiliser he was touring in | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
2004. He was planning to launch an Al Qaeda bombing campaign against | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
targets like nightclubs and shopping centres. He was caught because women | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
at the storage warehouse became suspicious and called police, | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
potentially saving hundreds of lives. If you have a concern about | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
suddenly you have seen or heard they could identify a terrorist threat, | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
reported. A new police campaign focuses on the important | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
contributions the public can make. It could be any you is unusual. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Detectives said the public is still playing an important part in one | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
third of their current investigations. -- detectives say. | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
Senior detective said that supporters of so-called Islamic | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
State are not the only threat, and that these includes far right | :06:31. | :06:40. | |
terrorists. New figures suggest that they have been 13 attacks thwarted | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
since 2013. At any one time, the security services are running around | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
500 investigations. The threat level remains at severe, which means that | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
the risk of an attack is assessed as highly likely. | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
North Korea has fired four missiles - three of which landed | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
in Japanese-controlled waters less than 200 miles from its north-west | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
They appear to have been launched from a remote military base | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
We can speak to our correspondent, Steve Evans, who joins us | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Thank you for joining us. What is going on? North Korea is very | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
annoyed at the moment that South Korea and the United States are | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
holding joint military exercises. North Korea says it is practice for | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
an invasion. So what it does in Ms Connor circumstance, with hide | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
manga, is it looses off missiles. For them, this time, normally fewer | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
than that. But experts will now be looking at whether these missiles | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
are new, weather, for example, they could hit the continental United | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
States. Kim Jong-un has said his aim is to develop a nuclear arsenal and | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
the missiles to put warheads on to hit cities like Los Angeles and | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Washington. So people will look at this launch to work out if he is | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
making progress towards that. Thank you for joining us. | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Talks are beginning in Belfast today aimed at forming | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
The two largest parties, the Democratic Unionists | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
and Sinn Fein, are still divided over a botched green energy scheme | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
that led to the collapse of their previous administration. | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
Sinn Fein say the DUP leader, Arlene Foster, can't be re-appointed | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
as First Minister while her role in the scheme is being investigated. | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
A former British soldier has been shot dead on his ranch | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
Tristan Voorspuy ran lodges for visitors in the central Rift | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
He'd served as an army officer in the 1970s and had spent nearly | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
30 years as a rancher and safari operator. | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
A local official blamed rural herdsman. | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
Survivors, rescue workers and victims' relatives will gather | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
today to mark the 30th anniversary of the Zeebrugge ferry | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
193 passengers and crew died when the Herald of Free Enterprise | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
capsized shortly after leaving the Belgian port, | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
The capsize hold of one of Britain was that worst peacetime shipping | :09:07. | :09:19. | |
disasters. The Herald of Free Enterprise, laying on its side near | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
the entrance to the port of Zeebrugge. The British ferry | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
disaster of Belgium... It was exactly 30 years ago to note that | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
the vessel went down. There were 459 passengers on board, including | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
British daytrippers. The first some new what was happening was when the | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
plates started slipping off the tables. It took about 90 seconds for | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
the 1300 ton vessel to turnover. The rescue operation help save many | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
lives, but 193 passengers and crew died. The official enquiry found | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
that the bow doors had been mistakenly left open she left port. | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
An attempt to prosecute crew members on the company in court. A memorial | :10:08. | :10:16. | |
service will take place today to allow people to mark the 30th | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
anniversary of the disaster. The Herald's Bell will be at the | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
service. This disaster continues to influence the lives of hundreds of | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
ordinary people, the design of ships, and Britain's Millot at -- | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
maritime history. And it about half are now we will | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
speak to somebody who helps people on board escaped. We will talk to | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
them later. So few of the survivors feel comfortable talking about what | :10:50. | :10:50. | |
happened, don't they? FBI director James Comey has | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
rejected President Donald Trump's claim on Saturday that his | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
predecessor, Barack Obama, Mr Comey reportedly asked the US | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
justice department to reject the allegation Mr Obama ordered | :11:00. | :11:07. | |

the FBI broke the law. South Lakes Zoo, where | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
almost 500 animals died four years, is expected | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
to have a decision made on its application for | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
a new license today. The zoo in Cumbria was fined just | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
under following the death | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
of a keeper who was mauled Government inspectors | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
have criticised the zoo for its overcrowding and lack | :11:39. | :11:41. | |

taxed at source. we go to this poor with Sarah. That | :12:09. | :12:24. | |
lady behind you, Laura Muir, she does not need much sleep. Given that | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
when she was not allowed to do a victory lap on Saturday? She did | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
that for seven medals at the indoor Championships, with Laura Muir | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
adding to the 1500 title on Saturday. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
-- There were seven medals for Great Britain on the final day | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
of the European Indoor Championships with Laura Muir adding gold | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
in the 3,000 metres to the fifteen hundred metres title | :12:49. | :12:50. | |

In the other tie, holders Hibernian will play Aberdeen | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
We will have more on Laura Muir to come. Did they try to stop her | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
again? Here's Carol with a look | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
at this morning's weather. I cannot turn around. How is it | :13:39. | :13:50. | |
going? A chilly start for some of us with some frost around. But for | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
many, we will see Ramos today. The forecast is one of suddenly spells, | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
or bright scales, and then scattered showers. -- spells. What we have the | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
moment is a lot of low pressure around us. That has a lot of fronts | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
attached to it, particularly in the south-west, where we have rain and | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
also some hill snow, as well. But never way from that, drip into | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
these, there are clearer skies. One or two showers. That holds true, | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
moving north, as well. Although throughout northern England and it | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
central Scotland, there is a weak front, and that is producing some | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
showers. Showers continuing across Shetland, and that towards the | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
worse. We also have some showers. On the hills, there will be some snow. | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
In Northern Ireland, a chilly start. A touch of frost here or there. The | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
odd pocket of fog. For Wales, dry and bright. Temperatures a bit on | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
the low side. Aberdeenshire, where we have some frost at the moment. | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
That is where it is continent. Go through the morning, that rentals | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
away. It will go across the island. It will be windy there. And then we | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
are back into sunshine and showers. Temperatures up to 12 Celsius. Later | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
on in the day, you can see some more coming in across Northern Ireland | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
and they are likely to have some snow on the hills as well. Tonight, | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
the wind arrows are going in every direction. We also have a view | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
showers around and wintry in the hills. And Scotland, where we have | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
low temperatures and dance temperatures, there is the risk of | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
highs on untreated surfaces. Once again, there will be frost around as | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
well. But you cannot fail to mist what is happening in the Atlantic by | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
the end of the night. By tomorrow, that band of rain will swing in | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
across Ireland into south-west England, also through parts of | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Wales, as well. The cloud will build out of it, so the driest and | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
brightest conditions tomorrow will be out towards the east. But even | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
here, through the day, the sunshine will turn the APA in nature. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
Averages seven degrees to 11 degrees in the east and seven degrees to 10 | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
degrees in the west. That system out in the west, I probably late | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
afternoon, will be taking its friend with it over into eastern errors. | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
You can see this weather front coming here. That will produce rain | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
in the afternoon, and on Thursday it will take another swipe at us from | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
the south-west. Here it is on Wednesday, pushing down towards the | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
south. A drier, prior to her sliced in the south of country coming but | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
still some showers across the far north. Temperatures by Thursday up | :16:21. | :16:21. | |
to 40 Celsius. I hope your neck is better by then. | :16:22. | :16:36. | |
So do I! I want to see you but I cannot. Let us look at the papers. | :16:37. | :16:45. | |
Sally is still with us. I have been rearranging my tie. The Times. The | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Chancellor bands a tax tax rise to fund budget giveaways. There is | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
Francois Fillon and he is white, Penelope. He says he will stick it | :17:01. | :17:12. | |
out. -- his wife. And the main story is abortions. The UK is the | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
seventh-largest abortion provider. Signing of abortions for women they | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
have never met, according to the Daily Mail. And a diet to slash the | :17:22. | :17:31. | |
risk of cancer by 7%. Oily fish and other food like that will cut the | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
risk of breast cancer. And Adele broke the news that she is married. | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
The Guardian. A pretty emotional picture from a father and a daughter | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
who fled Islamic State control in Mosul on Saturday as Iraqi forces | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
are intensifying a push on to the city. And the budget is making the | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
news. We will look at what will happen with that later. And Alexis | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
Sanchez this summer. He was dropped to the bench on Saturday at Anfield | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
against Liverpool. And a strong piece about how this could actually | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
be, not just Alexis Sanchez's and again, but the endgame of Wenger. | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
Falling outs happen all the time, but Arsene Wenger is not handling it | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
well. By dropping him to the bench, it is like sending an errant child | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
to their room, but letting them have a burger and a big-screen TV while | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
they are there. That is what it says. So don't drop him and then | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
bring him on to make him unhappy and not performing at his best. The word | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
is he could go to in the summer. I don't know why he did not say that | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
on the day he was getting so much grief for dropping his best player. | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
And deciding to not say anything at all and complete denial. Shall we | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
talk about this? We are being asked if we can help scientists count | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
penguins in case you are bored and need something to help you sleep at | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
night? They have lots of pictures here. They want you to sort the | :19:16. | :19:24. | |
penguins from the rocks. And pandas. The same scientists who sorted out | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
why they have black and white colours to stop them getting bitten. | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
A panda is white to helped hide in snowy environments and black to help | :19:39. | :19:47. | |
them in the shade. And they love to kiss each other. And now for some | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
other news. It's estimated 40,000 people | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
in the UK are dying prematurely due to health problems linked | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
with air pollution. The World Health Organization says | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
more than nine out of ten of us across the globe are | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
breathing polluted air. And this week on BBC Breakfast, | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
we're taking an in-depth look Today, we're looking | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
at the pollution caused by cars keeping their engines | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
on when they're parked or waiting John Maguire is at a school | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
in East London where they're trying Good morning. Good morning. We are | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
at a school where the children have suddenly gone quiet. Let us wake | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
them up. Good morning, children. Good morning! They have been working | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
on this post is about air pollution. Some catchy logos that could go much | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
further afield, letting us see what could happen if we breathe it in. | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
There have been councils issued Freedom of Information requests | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
about what happens with pollution. Only 50 out of 284 say they empower | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
their staff to give fines for idling. Only five fines have been | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
given. The stick is not doing much. What about the carrot? We have gone | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
across the UK to find out what is being done. | :21:12. | :21:12. | |
What are those dark patches? Pollution. From schools in | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
Birmingham, to Port Talbot... We are looking at where we will plant trees | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
to tackle air pollution. To Sheffield. Many people have issues | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
because of the things they are breathing. There is a quiet | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
revolution under way, and at times like this. ENGINE TURNING OFF. In | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
the name of science, Will has said he will drive today to school. He | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
will track pollution along his journey with his friends. And now we | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
have a professor from the University of Leeds, who is analysing the two | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
trips. Normally when you are stuck in traffic, that is when the levels | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
can get quite high with pollution. It is a quiet route. We have crossed | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
some roads and seeing huge spikes, actually. They are a short duration. | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
They have got a good route to school. They go down a backstreet. | :22:21. | :22:30. | |
The levels are low there. At the school gates were all the cars are | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
parking and dropping the children off, we can see lots of spikes at | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
that end. And that exposure to pollution over the route is mainly | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
focused around the school gates, actually. So, what can be done? | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
Basically we are asking people to turn off their engine when they are | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
stationary. OK. I understand. We just want to educate people. It is | :22:51. | :22:59. | |
yet another success for this anti-idling patrol. These people | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
have been trained in what to say to people to get them to turn off and | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
deal with inevitable excuses. The councils say this is about local | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
people cleaning up local streets. It is about this street in this area | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
trying to reduce pollution levels for children at school. much | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
difference can switching off your engine make? Testing in one location | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
saw that by stopping idling, pollution levels dropped by a third. | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
The bigger message is that it helps people understand the impact of | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
small actions on the larger problem of air quality. And there is always | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
this approach. I am sorry to bother you, but your engine is running. You | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
wouldn't turn it off, would you, I am just thinking of emissions. In | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
the last six years as he went to work on his way to the theatre of | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
London, Nigel is a man on emission. They wonder who I am and have said | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
some pretty choice things to me. But generally speaking, people are aware | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
and said, oh, sorry, I am not aware of that. This is a drop in the | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
ocean, admittedly, or a particle in the air, compared to the global | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
problem of air pollution. But new research shows how switching off | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
engines can make a difference in protecting our most precious | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
resource. Stop the pollution, it is the only | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
solution, that is the message from one of the precious children at this | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
school. We will talk to the head teacher. What are you holding? This | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
is a travel plan Silver Award which we got eight years ago. They came to | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
look outside the school with the problems of idling and congestion at | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
traffic lights. We want to encourage children to come to school by | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
walking bulky scooting. -- or. You are going for gold. What difference | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
has it made? It has raised the profile of coming to school under | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
your own steam. And perhaps even the parents can sort of suggest that | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
they try more to use scooters and use bikes and walk and look to the | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
future. Because that is what we're doing with children, them for the | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
future. So they can look back and say, well, we did something. We used | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
to go by bus to the swimming pool and now we walk. OK. Thank you. We | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
will chat to some of the children. Good morning to you two. Good | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
morning. You have talked about air pollution. What have you learned? We | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
have learned about idling. We learned that our school has 55.9, | :25:40. | :25:49. | |
umm, N02 like particles. Crikey, you know all the chemicals and | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
everything. It is 15.9 over the limit. Yes. We know that, don't we, | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
sometimes over the European limiting. What things have fully | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
done to persuade people to not idle out the school? We have sent letters | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
to the mayor and Year Twos. We have also been making posters to persuade | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
them. Great. Well done. That is fantastic. Now, you had some notes | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
written on the front of your hand, did you? It is a good trick. We | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
decided to adopt it as well. What did you want is there? Back to you, | :26:29. | :26:36. | |
Dan and Louis. Back to you guys in the studio. Look at that! I like but | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
she added our names! Look at that. We will be talking more about | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
pollution to the World Health Organization at around 7:10. You are | :26:49. | :26:57. | |

staff are under 30. Today is part of our road trip this week looking at | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
how the budget will impact different generations. We are focusing on the | :27:49. | :27:53. | |

FBI director James Comey has rejected President Donald Trump's | :34:18. | :34:19. | |
claim on Saturday that his predecessor, Barack Obama, | :34:20. | :34:22. | |
Mr Comey reportedly asked the US justice department to reject | :34:23. | :34:26. | |
the allegation Mr Obama ordered a wiretap during last | :34:27. | :34:28. | |
Our Washington correspondent Nick Bryant has more on this story. | :34:29. | :34:40. | |
The White House is still not produced any evidence to back up the | :34:41. | :34:47. | |
claim that Barack Obama or the White House ordered White -- Whitecaps on | :34:48. | :34:51. | |
Trump Tower. White House officials | :34:52. | :34:59. | |
pointing people, reporters, towards some newspaper reports | :35:00. | :35:01. | |
that they have read, which heightens the speculation that | :35:02. | :35:03. | |
President Trump's Twitter tirade was not based on intelligence | :35:04. | :35:05. | |
briefings that he had received, but rather, as strongly suspected, | :35:06. | :35:08. | |
he was reading a right-wing news One is James Clapper coming out | :35:09. | :35:11. | |
and saying there were no wiretaps. And Clapper is not only somebody | :35:12. | :35:17. | |
who worked for Barack Obama, he also worked for George W Bush | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
and George Herbert Walker Bush. He is seen as a trusted figure, | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
a non-partisan figure. And another key development - | :35:24. | :35:25. | |
the FBI director, James Comey, it has been reported he approached | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
the Justice Department, and asked the Justice Department | :35:29. | :35:31. | |
to come out publicly and say that President Trump was wrong, | :35:32. | :35:34. | |
that this was a false accusation, That is a big slap down | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
from the director of the FBI. It is 6:35am... Is our phone go to? | :35:38. | :35:57. | |
We have a massive phone. When anyone important brings, it is like good | :35:58. | :36:05. | |
morning! Were just happened? I am not to explain it. You know when | :36:06. | :36:11. | |
you're on a certain phone, it picks up the voice recognition, one of us | :36:12. | :36:14. | |
might have said they were that sounded like that, and it tried to | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
translate next sentence. Technology? We are all being listened to. Good | :36:20. | :36:22. | |
morning! I think we are alone? A grey weekend for grey Britain. | :36:23. | :36:49. | |
Laura Muir stormed to victory in Belgrade had of yes ma'am cloud. | :36:50. | :36:55. | |
Laura Muir became only the second Briton to win two individual events | :36:56. | :36:59. | |
at the games after adding gold in the 3,000 metres to the fifteen | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
hundred metres title she took on Saturday. | :37:03. | :37:04. | |
She stormed to victory in Belgrade in a championship record | :37:05. | :37:07. | |
time ahead of Turkey's Yasemin Can and compatriot Eilish McColgan. | :37:08. | :37:09. | |
Muir's achievements matched those of Colin Jackson set in Paris 23 | :37:10. | :37:13. | |
I did know what my legs are going to do today. I tried to hang in there | :37:14. | :37:22. | |
and I am very tired. But I'm so glad I could do that today. What was the | :37:23. | :37:26. | |
plan at the outset? She was a bit more of the jurors athlete, so try | :37:27. | :37:30. | |
to hold onto her. And I managed to cross the line in first place. | :37:31. | :37:32. | |
And after her efforts to complete a victory lap on Saturday, | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
she had a more relaxed time of it celebrating her 3000m success. | :37:36. | :37:41. | |
No - I'll say the word - jobs-worth stewards | :37:42. | :37:43. | |
What a weekend. She did a little bit of a victory lap, but that was it. | :37:44. | :37:56. | |
There she goes. Congratulations to Laura Muir. | :37:57. | :37:57. | |
Asha Philip also won gold yesterday, she pulled off a surprise, | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
breaking the British record on her way to taking the 60 metres. | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
It's her first individual medal at a major senior championships. | :38:04. | :38:07. | |
I was so happy. I was not doubting myself, I knew I had it in me, and | :38:08. | :38:16. | |
they think the confidence ran me through the race, but everytime I | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
seem to get on that start line, a false start happened. I thought I | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
did not have vibrant in the final. But it was all I had, and they said, | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
you know what, I'm going to go out and do my best, and they did. I can | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
he afford the W, and they did. I'm so happy with myself. -- and I did. | :38:33. | :38:39. | |
-- I came here for B. And Robbie Grabarz understandably | :38:40. | :38:41. | |
said he was "over the moon" with a silver medal in the high jump | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
- just six weeks after having an emergency operation | :38:44. | :38:47. | |
to remove his appendix. Can you imagine having surgery on | :38:48. | :38:52. | |
your stomach and managing to do that? Incredible from them. | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
Meanwhile, England have clinched the one-day against the West Indies were | :38:56. | :38:57. | |
again to spare. The hosts chose to bat first | :38:58. | :39:04. | |
but England bowled them out for 225, always likely to be below | :39:05. | :39:08. | |
a competitive total. The West Indies spin bowlers gave | :39:09. | :39:10. | |
England some problems but Joe Root saw them home with | :39:11. | :39:13. | |
ten balls to spare. Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez had | :39:14. | :39:16. | |
a confrontation with team mates after leaving a training session | :39:17. | :39:18. | |
early in the build-up to Saturday's That is why there was that terrible | :39:19. | :39:25. | |
atmosphere between him, the manager, and his colleagues. | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
He had angry words with other players | :39:31. | :39:32. | |
in the changing rooms and one of them had to be held back. | :39:33. | :39:35. | |
Sanchez is Arsenal's top scorer this season but was left out | :39:36. | :39:38. | |
of the starting line up on Saturday where his side lost 3-1. | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
Manager Arsene Wenger said it was a tactical decision | :39:43. | :39:45. | |
Spurs have moved to within seven points of Chelsea at the top | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
It's their ninth consecutive home win in the league, | :39:50. | :39:54. | |
Two goals from Harry Kane and one from Delle Ali was enough | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
Manchester City are one point behind Spurs after winning 2-0 at bottom | :39:59. | :40:11. | |
Sergio Aguero scored his 23rd goal of the season and Leroy Sane | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
It's a fourth league win in a row for Pep Guardiola's side. | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup after Celtic | :40:20. | :40:24. | |
thrashed St Mirren 4-1 in the last eight. | :40:25. | :40:26. | |
Scott Sinclair scored the pick of Celtic's goals to give them | :40:27. | :40:29. | |
the lead as they came back from a goal down at home. | :40:30. | :40:32. | |
Aberdeen will face Hibs after their 1-0 victory over | :40:33. | :40:34. | |
And finally, the wife carrying championship has taken place | :40:35. | :40:43. | |
It's the tenth running of the event - | :40:44. | :40:49. | |
and it looks like couples are getting good at tackling | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
That does not look in any way comfortable. Yes. I think it gets | :40:53. | :41:04. | |
worse as the pictures go on. It goes worse. I don't like the way he | :41:05. | :41:12. | |
dropped. That is all I can say. Over the line. That is spectacularly | :41:13. | :41:21. | |
non-PC. I know we are not married, but we would make a formidable | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
partnership. I think you are too tall. She would have a long way to | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
fall. She can carry me! Thank you very much, Sally. Plenty more from | :41:32. | :41:38. | |
Sally Andy Carroll would have the weather shortly. But we return to | :41:39. | :41:41. | |
one of our main stories, this morning, and today marks the 30th | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
anniversary of the Zeebrugge disaster. It was the deadliest | :41:47. | :41:50. | |

after leaving the port. Larry O'Brien was one of the people who | :42:04. | :42:06. | |
help people get off the ferry. Thank you for joining us. I'm sure it is | :42:07. | :42:11. | |
difficult even 30 years on to talk about the events of the day. But | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
just take us through - I know you are one of the last people on the | :42:17. | :42:20. | |
ferry. When did you know things were wrong? I had got upstairs. It was | :42:21. | :42:32. | |
about 15 minutes when I got upstairs and went into the restaurant and sat | :42:33. | :42:37. | |
down. And it heaved forward and back, and back to port again. It all | :42:38. | :42:44. | |
only took seconds. It happened so quickly. It was unbelievable how | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
quickly it happen. I suppose from the time I went on it was all over | :42:50. | :42:57. | |
within 15 minutes. Riot, it right. It basically turned onto its side. | :42:58. | :43:02. | |
Where were you when that happened? Basically, I had been in shock and | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
went across to the restaurant and had sat down and ordered a meal. And | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
I was sitting down. And that it started to hear. All I could do, my | :43:14. | :43:19. | |
table was fixed to the ground, so I just held the table. It is | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
unbelievable how quickly it all happened. It was all over with. When | :43:25. | :43:29. | |
the ship went completely over on its side. It is hard to imagine for a | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
person. The size of the ship to go completely on its side. But three | :43:36. | :43:44. | |
quarters of the ship inside was full of water. Clearly a terrifying | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
situation to be in. You managed to find a way out, and then started | :43:50. | :43:56. | |
helping other people, did you? Look, I did not have much time to think | :43:57. | :44:00. | |
about it when I was looking around me. I had to decide... There was any | :44:01. | :44:06. | |
one way out. I was used to be on ships. I was a ships twice a week | :44:07. | :44:11. | |
going from and coming to. I was going to Europe direct from Ireland, | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
or go to England, and then on to France. I had plenty of experience | :44:16. | :44:21. | |
being on board, so knew the only way out was. So I eventually got up and | :44:22. | :44:30. | |
got onto the side of the ship. In a terrified state, I can tell you, | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
because I did not know what was keeping it up or if it was courtesy | :44:36. | :44:39. | |
call together. I would not be a good swimmer. I swim very badly, | :44:40. | :44:47. | |
actually. And I just did not know if it I, it was go to go to the bottom | :44:48. | :44:54. | |
or white. IDC found a rope and started taking people out through | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
one of the porthole windows. -- I eventually found a rope. As a two | :45:00. | :45:05. | |
people out, some of them stopped and started to help to take more people | :45:06. | :45:11. | |
out. And it went on from there. -- as I took people out. I had about 30 | :45:12. | :45:17. | |
people out and more people kept coming. I looked around, and the | :45:18. | :45:23. | |
sense... The eerie feeling that there were 70 people on board that | :45:24. | :45:28. | |
night, that nobody knew there would be, that so many people were on it. | :45:29. | :45:33. | |
This in the newspaper had run a day trip to Belgium for ?1, and hence | :45:34. | :45:40. | |
there were so many people on board. 194 lives were lost. The screens | :45:41. | :45:47. | |
that night inside the ship... It was like a floating cough in. It was | :45:48. | :45:53. | |
unbelievable. -- the screams will stop is a mere will never forget, 30 | :45:54. | :45:57. | |
years later. But I was one of the lucky ones. I was one of those who | :45:58. | :46:02. | |
survived. And an EU help lots of other people survive, as well. Will | :46:03. | :46:07. | |
you be thinking today and remembering people today? -- and you | :46:08. | :46:14. | |
helped. Of course. I was lucky in one way. There was only one person | :46:15. | :46:21. | |
on the boat who was Irish that I knew. He was from Co Mead in | :46:22. | :46:28. | |
Ireland. I did not personally know him but he lost his life on board | :46:29. | :46:33. | |
that night. 30 years later, I will be thinking about all the people | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
that lost their lives. You know, that night inside the chip, there | :46:38. | :46:43. | |
were so many small children heading to Belgium, and so many adults, all | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
people out for the day, of course I will remember it. It was an awful | :46:49. | :46:50. | |
thing to happen. Thank you for talking to us today. | :46:51. | :47:01. | |
Thank you. As he said, so many people will remember that. Are | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
absolutely. I think you will enjoy this next part. Normally we have to | :47:06. | :47:18. | |
turn around. Louise has a bad neck so we will look down the camera. | :47:19. | :47:22. | |
Good morning. Bright spells in sunshine and also some showers. Some | :47:23. | :47:27. | |
rain in the forecast as well. The rain is in south-west England. A | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
weather front. This area of low pressure. We are surrounded by low | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
pressures. This has taken wet and windy weather south. Gusty winds of | :47:36. | :47:43. | |
80 miles per hour here. The forecast will start here at 8am. A lot of | :47:44. | :47:50. | |
rain and also some snow on the moors. It starts to sink down | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
towards the Channel Islands. In southern areas away from that rain, | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
dry weather, sunshine, variable cloud. The cloud here and there is | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
thick enough for the odd shower. Northern England and eastern parts | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
of Scotland, a weather front producing showery outbreaks of rain. | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
Again, another in Shetland. You will have that for a bit. More showers in | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
the West. Snowy for Northern Ireland. A dry and bright start. | :48:19. | :48:25. | |
Wales. A dry and bright start, and the odd shower in the south. Frosty | :48:26. | :48:31. | |
to start in the highlands. Through the course of the day, the rain will | :48:32. | :48:36. | |
pull away and go into the Channel Islands. It will be windy for a | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
while here and then it will be a mixture of rights spells, sunshine, | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
and highs of 12 degrees. More showers will pack in Northern | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
Ireland with hill snow again. The rest of the afternoon and into the | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
evening and overnight, starting to push over into western parts of | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
mainland Britain. Showers in the east. One or two in the centre of | :48:59. | :49:02. | |
the country. A lot of dry weather around. Cold enough for some frost. | :49:03. | :49:07. | |
Damp surfaces bringing highs risks. By the end of the night, we will see | :49:08. | :49:15. | |
this system come in from the west across south-west England into Wales | :49:16. | :49:21. | |
and Ireland and after that, sunshine. However, as the system | :49:22. | :49:26. | |
continues to push across Northern Ireland and eventually getting into | :49:27. | :49:29. | |
north-west England and north Scotland, the cloud will build. The | :49:30. | :49:35. | |
far east having the dark skies the longest. It will take until after | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
dark probably until the rain makes the eastern areas. Here comes the | :49:40. | :49:43. | |
weather front. Quite blustery, as you can tell from the squeezing | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
isobars. And then we have a second front. The tail end of that will | :49:48. | :49:53. | |
come back in. To put detail on that, here comes the rain again. Again, a | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
lot of rain pushing towards the south. Rain in the north as well. In | :49:58. | :50:03. | |
between, brighter conditions. Highs of 12 degrees. A blustery day. | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
Friday, rain swinging in from the south-west. Quite a lot of dry | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
weather further east with temperatures especially in the south | :50:13. | :50:18. | |
coming down, now on the up. Thank you. Good to hear. We like a bit of | :50:19. | :50:28. | |
rain. The rain was coming down very solidly. | :50:29. | :50:36. | |
On Wednesday, the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, will unveil his | :50:37. | :50:38. | |
economic plans for the country in his spring budget. | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
Here on Breakfast this week, we'll be looking at the impact it | :50:42. | :50:44. | |
This morning, we're focusing on millennials, those born | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
Steph has taken to the road, and is just outside Aberdeen for us | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
with a catering business and its young workforce. | :50:53. | :50:54. | |
You have a massive spoon! It is my paddle. Good morning, everybody. I | :50:55. | :51:08. | |
wish it did smell this. It is a gorgeous stew being made here. I am | :51:09. | :51:15. | |
at a catering factory in Aberdeen. I am talking about what the economy | :51:16. | :51:18. | |
will do for young people. The budget is coming out soon. I am travelling | :51:19. | :51:22. | |
the country to work out what it means for different generations. | :51:23. | :51:30. | |
This firm employs nearly 100,000 people. They have 1500 meals they | :51:31. | :51:36. | |
need to make today. That food will go to the offices in the area. They | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
also work with the energy industry. We will talk with 16-year-old | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
Nicole. You left school and came straight here. Doing well. I left | :51:46. | :51:54. | |
the academy after I won a competition and went through to the | :51:55. | :52:03. | |
final. It is all going well for you? You are earning while learning. And | :52:04. | :52:08. | |
you are saving for a car? I have a driving test coming up. Good luck | :52:09. | :52:13. | |
with that. I also want you to meet Tyler, one of the apprentices here | :52:14. | :52:18. | |
doing accountancy. A little bit older. 19. Tell us a little bit | :52:19. | :52:24. | |
about your life and what used band your money on. Most of my money goes | :52:25. | :52:32. | |
on my car. -- what you spend your money on. What would make your life | :52:33. | :52:37. | |
easier with money? Is fuel came down a little bit and car insurance quite | :52:38. | :52:42. | |
a lot. -- if. It is extortionate on young children. You live at home at | :52:43. | :52:49. | |
the moment. What is your plan? I want to save as much as I can to get | :52:50. | :52:54. | |
out by 24. You would like to buy your own house? Yeah. Wendy you that | :52:55. | :53:01. | |
happening? 24- 25. -- When do you. Does it feel different to | :53:02. | :53:09. | |
university? I definitely have the advantage of having finished my | :53:10. | :53:13. | |
course by the time they get out of university. Good luck to you. Lovely | :53:14. | :53:19. | |
to talk to you. We are talking to many people about this. Jane | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
McCubbin, one of the Breakfast reporters, went to see some people | :53:24. | :53:26. | |
in London to see what they are worried about. | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
Let us introduce the millennials. Hi, my name is Abby. I am 24, and I | :53:31. | :53:42. | |
am a freelance as. I live in Tottenham, north London, with my | :53:43. | :53:45. | |
parents and my brother and younger sister. I am 24. I live at home with | :53:46. | :53:54. | |
my mum and sister. I live in Surrey and I am renting and lived four | :53:55. | :53:58. | |
other people. All this week, we will be getting a grip on what this | :53:59. | :54:03. | |
generation wants from the budget. If you are a millennial, you were born | :54:04. | :54:08. | |
between 1981 and 2000. You are finishing education and making a | :54:09. | :54:12. | |
start to your career. You have been most affected by the falling pay of | :54:13. | :54:15. | |
recent years and are struggling to get onto the housing ladder and are | :54:16. | :54:22. | |
suffering high rents as a result. So it is with our millennials. Me and | :54:23. | :54:25. | |
my sister share a room, which we have done all our lives. I am 24. | :54:26. | :54:31. | |
24! It is a bit like, OK, it is time to go. We cannot afford it. It is | :54:32. | :54:36. | |
just not going to happen. How does your mother feel about this? Until I | :54:37. | :54:41. | |
am kicked out, I am going to have to stay there. None of their salaries | :54:42. | :54:46. | |
can come remotely close to the 6-figure sums to just rent here. To | :54:47. | :54:52. | |
be managed to move out of home, but only by moving out of the city. -- | :54:53. | :54:57. | |
Toby. The am for you is to own your own home? Yes. Somewhere. Like many | :54:58. | :55:04. | |
of the children my age, I could get a deposit, though it will take a | :55:05. | :55:07. | |
while. I just want economic stability. Economic stability. That | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
is the big thing for to be especially with Brexit. I want the | :55:12. | :55:15. | |
government to reassure me with something coming out now. What do | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
they want from the budget on Wednesday exactly? Housebuilding, | :55:20. | :55:23. | |
economic security, and Brexit. This is what I want, affordable housing, | :55:24. | :55:28. | |
and how are they going to pay for it? Go after tax dodgers. I want the | :55:29. | :55:32. | |
government to support young people so they don't have to move out of | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
the city to make a living. Make housing affordable. So, Philip | :55:37. | :55:42. | |
Hammond, if you are watching, millennials want housing, housing, | :55:43. | :55:48. | |
and housing. And a new focus on a generation that largely feels left | :55:49. | :55:49. | |
out. Jane McCubbin, BBC News. With me now is Adam who is from | :55:50. | :55:59. | |
Shelter Scotland. Obviously, your charity looked at a lot of the | :56:00. | :56:02. | |
issues with people trying to get housing. We were hearing about young | :56:03. | :56:06. | |
people worried about that just then. What could we hear that would help | :56:07. | :56:10. | |
young people getting on the ladder? We need to build more homes, and | :56:11. | :56:15. | |
more affordable homes, and in particular, homes available for | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
social rent. The stories heard today and you will hear if you are | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
anywhere across the country today is that we just do not have enough | :56:24. | :56:27. | |
supply of good quality affordable homes. That is having a tangible | :56:28. | :56:31. | |
knock-on effect on young people. I saw a report last year that in | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
Scotland, nearly a million people aged between 18 and 45 were putting | :56:36. | :56:40. | |
off major life milestones because of the impact of housing. That is | :56:41. | :56:46. | |
impacting children, getting married, and retirement, at the other. The | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
cost of housing is having a huge effect. -- the other end. | :56:51. | :00:19. | |

All this week on Breakfast we're looking at what it means for each | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
This morning we're talking about the millennial is, so those born in the | :01:29. | :01:40. | |
80s and 90s. This factory here in Aberdeen employs a lot of them. I | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
look to find out what they want from the economy. | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
What a weekend its been for Britains Laura Muir. | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
She claimed the 3000 metre title to add to her 1500 metre win | :01:54. | :01:56. | |

as exam season approaches, we'll find out about a new project | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
to help students share It is actually suffer some of us | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
with some frost around. But for some of us, bright spells and showers. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
Some heavy rain across parts of south-west England depositing some | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
snow in the Moors, but that will clear, and then you, too will have | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
sunshine and showers. There's uncertainty for thousands | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
of British car workers as a deal that will see Vauxhall sold | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
to the French owners of Peugeot The French car giant | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
PSA has agreed to buy General Motors European operations | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
for ?1.9 billion pounds. The deal includes Vauxhall's plants | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
in Ellesmere Port and Luton, from where our reporter | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Simon Clemison joins us now. Good morning to you. I have been | :02:51. | :03:10. | |
speaking to one or two people here as the shares have changed over in | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Luton this morning. And there is concern that this deal, which as you | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
say has been confirmed in the last hour. We were expected over the last | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
few weeks, but what it essentially means is that the car industry map | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
of Europe could be redrawn. In the car industry, | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
we're used to car brands been owned But if the European arm | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
of General Motors, which makes Vauxhall, or Opel in Germany, | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
to the company that makes Peugeot and Citroen goes ahead, | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
it would be a huge move, making the French manufacturer | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
the second biggest But there are now fears for jobs, | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
which the Unite union says More than 1900 people produce | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
the Astra at Ellesmere Port, with 120,000 vehicles rolling off | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
the production line each year. Thousands more are employed | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
in the supply chain. There are about 1400 workers | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
at Luton, making one General Motors has been losing | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
money on these sides If workers here eventually have | :04:03. | :04:14. | |
new bosses in France, rather than in America, | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
there are questions over how Commentators say they have capacity | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
to build more cars at the plants The government has | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
been speaking to the But there are concerns | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
for jobs and pensions once existing contracts start | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
to expire in 2021. Now we know that because it does not | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
make much sense, if you think about it, to move production until a model | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
comes to the end of the line. That is because it is very complex and | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
costly. Everything is that APA. So does not make much as they say. But | :04:52. | :05:05. | |
it is have even. But what if Perce use one of its fans as a basis for a | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
Vauxhall model. If it has a facility elsewhere in Europe, we could be | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
outside in Europe at that point. There are so many questions to | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
remember. As I said, the arm of the company at the moment is not making | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
profit, it is making a loss. So they want to make a profit, they could | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
adapt to do something. We are expecting more details in the next | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
hour, details that the workers want. Britain's most senior anti-terrorism | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
officer has revealed that thirteen potential terror attacks have been | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
prevented since June 2013. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
is launching a campaign, encouraging people to report | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
suspicious activity. Here's our Home Affairs | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
Correspondent Daniel Sandford. The moment, caught on a security | :05:42. | :05:52. | |
camera, when Omar Khyam visited a bag of fertiliser he was | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
storing in 2004. He was plotting to launch | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
an Al Qaeda bombing campaign against targets like | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
nightclubs and shopping He was caught because a woman | :06:01. | :06:02. | |

focuses on the important VOICEOVER: It could be anything that | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
strikes you as unusual. Detectives say the public | :06:21. | :06:32. | |
is still playing an important part in one third of their | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
current investigations. Senior detectives are warning that | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
supporters of so-called Islamic Al Qaeda remains | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
a danger, too, as does New official figures show | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
that the number of attacks in Britain thought to have been | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
thwarted since June 2013 has risen to 13, one higher | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
than the figure given At any one time, the security | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
services are running The threat level remains at severe, | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
which means that the risk of an attack is assessed | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
as "highly likely". And we'll be talking little more | :07:03. | :07:19. | |
about that later, and about 40 minutes time. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
North Korea has fired four missiles, - three of which landed | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
in Japanese-controlled waters less than 200 miles | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
They appear to have been launched from a remote military base | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
We can speak to our correspondent, Steve Evans, who joins us | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
What more can you tell us about this? How serious is it? It is this | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
the very serious SA Power like North Korea, which is about to turn | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Washington into a sea of flames, and is working on nuclear weapons, | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
unleashes for missiles. What would make it really serious is if these | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
launches show that it is making progress, that it is making better | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
missiles. It let off a whole host of missiles last year and many were | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
duds. These were not. Experts will now look to see if North Korea is | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
making progress towards an intercontinental ballistic missile. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
And if that happens, then the US get seriously worried. -- the US gets | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
seriously. Labour has said it is "confident" | :08:28. | :08:28. | |
that Jeremy Corbyn has paid It's after the Labour leader | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
published his tax return as part of a call for transparency | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
from politicians. The return did not appear to include | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
the money he is entitled Let's get the latest from our | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Political Correspondent Iain Watson Just take us through what exactly | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
has been published and what questions they might be. I think | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
what Jeremy Corbyn is finding out is that there is an unintended | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
consequence to publishing his tax return. The intended consequence was | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
to put his political opponents on the back foot, to say they are not | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
being transparent. Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, as you know, said he | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
would not make his tax affairs public. But now it is Jeremy | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Corbyn's own tax affairs that are in the spotlight. Because at first | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
base, it looked like he had not declared extra income is Leader of | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
the Opposition. Some newspapers reported that. Additionally, his | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
office could not come up with Asus factory expedition. I can tell you, | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
though, that the riddle has been solved. It is difficult to read the | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
small print, but it turns out that that extra salad extra salary is | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
listed as a benefit, broken down into the Stuart Kennedy Greek public | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
office. It appears that Jeremy Corbyn has coughed up the right | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
amount of tax. But what his opponents are saying inside, never | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
mind outside, the Labour Party is that there might not be tax evasion | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
or avoidance, but this issue is about confidence. He should have | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
been a silly crystal clear about his own tax affairs before he went on | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
the attack and try to take his vertical opponents out in the week | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
of the budget. Thank you for joining us. -- take his political opponents | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
out. This week BBC News are | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
looking at air pollution - the World Health Organisation | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
estimates 9 out of 10 people across the world are | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
breathing polluted air. And it's estimated in the UK | :10:18. | :10:18. | |
the lives of around 40,000 people a year are shortened | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
due to illnesses linked We're joined now by Dr Maria Neira | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
from the World Health Really good to talk to. How have the | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
WHO come to this figure of 1.7 million deaths from children under | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
five each year? This is an estimation that we do and the | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
purpose of that was to alert and to raise awareness about how this | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
problem is getting really dramatic. Years ago, we had an alert saying | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
that 6.5 million premature deaths are recorded every year because of | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
the exposure to add pollution. Both indoor and outdoor air pollution. | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
Today, our call is for giving people the figures that represent the cost | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
of polluted air we breathe. And this time, we focused on children, | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
because we think the figure is even more dramatic. So 1.7 million deaths | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
in children under the age of five caused by exposure to different | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
environmental risk factors, I think that deserves some action and alert | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
in the -- and immediate interventions. Other countries that | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
are worse than others? Definitely developing country. The population | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
is more vulnerable. The government have not taken the actions and | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
solutions that may be in richer countries we have put in place. But | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
it is wrong to think that this is only affecting developing countries. | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
This is affecting all of us. This is affecting, as well, people living in | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
very industrialise places, the rich places, where you cannot choose the | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
air you breathe. You are exposed and you have two breathe, no matter | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
where you are. In different cities around the world, you are exposed. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
We are looking particularly at air pollution this morning. But the | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
purpose of your figures, you have considered clean water, add | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
pollution and so on. The thing that can be confusing to lump all of | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
those together when they are all distinct problems? Yes. In the of | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
air-pollution, this is one of the biggest environmental risks that we | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
are on. As I said, there are 6.5 million deaths around the globe | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
caused by exposure to air-pollution. The message is different if you are | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
living a rich country or a developing country. But still this | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
is a problem that we all need to put measures in place to fight for. And | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
the BBC, this week, we're looking at a sort of series about pollution. | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
Today, that eagerly, we're looking at the problem of idling. People are | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
sitting with their car engines on. They can cause issues, can't it? | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
Sure. It might only be a small part of the solutions we need to put in | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
place, but it is an important one. Because first it desensitises | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
children, and create education. And it promotes as well a safer and more | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
sustainable way of transport. Ideally, we should go for a public | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
transport system, that would be more cost-effective and reduce pollution. | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
We need to invest in better systems for sustainable transport, public | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
transport, but in the meantime, obviously all of those measures are | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
extremely important and can contribute to the solution. A lot of | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
those things to government action. But on an individual and family | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
bases, what sort of things could or should we be doing? I think that is | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
a good measure. If you can safely walk or ride a bike, that would be | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
fantastic as well. And creating that culture at home to your children, as | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
well. Recycling. The conscious of the way we use energy. We need to be | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
very efficient in the way we use energy. Particularly if our energy | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
or electricity is produced by coal fired power plants, which are very | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
much in committing to the pollution. And we all need to get very | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
well-informed. Because the more we know about how our pollution is | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
impacting our health, how it is having a terrible negative impact on | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
our cardiovascular systems and so on, the more pressure we put on our | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
politicians for them to take more measures. Our mayor 's, those who | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
have solutions that are a bit more institutional at a government level. | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
But we'll need to contribute. From what you are saying, there is no | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
quick fix. There are some quick fixes. If you change the sources of | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
where you produce energy, and move to renewable energy and. Coal power | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
parklands, for instance. -- mayors. That will have an immediate return. | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
But if you go on sustainable power, there are people trained to do that. | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
-- coal powered power plants. BBC News are looking at air | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
pollution all this week, and John Maguire is at a school | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
in East London where they're trying to tackle a particular | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
aspect of the issue. The main stories this morning. The | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
French car giant, PSA, will buy the European arm of General Motors for | :15:34. | :15:45. | |
?1.9 million. And the most senior antiterrorism officer reveals 13 | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
terror attacks have been boiled on home soil. -- foiled. He will be | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
with us later. We were saying that John Maguire is out and about | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
talking about pollution caused by cars keeping their engines on while | :16:05. | :16:05. | |
they are waiting. Good morning. John Maguire is at a school | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
in East London where they're trying Good morning. They have a clear | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
message for us this morning. Stop idling! There you go. These are the | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
wonderful posters they have been working on. Idling is an issue here | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
just like it is across the UK. Just behind the children is where they | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
sit with their engines running. It is an even larger problem in the | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
winter, of course. One of the things the school has done has applied for | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
a grant to plant some trees to negate the effects of idling. It is | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
an issue here and right across UK in schools. | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
What do you think those dark patches are? | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
From schools in Birmingham, to Port Talbot... | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
We are looking at where we will plant trees | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
in the school to help tackle air pollution. | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
Many people have issues because of the things | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
There is a quiet revolution under way, and at times like this. | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
In the name of science, Will has said he will take this tool | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
Using highly sophisticated tech, we can analyse the pollution. | :17:22. | :17:41. | |
He will track pollution along his journey with his friends. | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
And now we have a professor from the University of Leeds | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
Normally when you are stuck in traffic, that is when the levels | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
We have crossed some roads and seeing huge spikes, actually. | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
They have got a good route to school. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
At the school gates is where all the cars are parking and dropping | :18:01. | :18:10. | |
the children off and idling, we can see lots of spikes | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
And that exposure to pollution over the route is mainly focused around | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
So, basically we are asking people to turn off their engine | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
It is yet another success for this anti-idling patrol. | :18:25. | :18:43. | |
These volunteers in Islington have been trained in what to say | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
to people to get them to turn off and deal with inevitable excuses. | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
The councils say this is about local people cleaning up local streets. | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
Today it is about this street in this area trying to reduce | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
pollution levels for pupils at school. | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
So, just how much difference can switching off your engine make? | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
Testing in one location saw that by stopping idling, | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
The bigger message is that it helps people understand the impact | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
of small actions on the kind of larger problem of air quality. | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
I'm sorry to bother you, but your engine is running. | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
In the last six years as he went to work on his way to the theatre | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
of London, actor Nigel Havers is a man on a mission. | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
They wonder who I am and have said some pretty choice things to me. | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
But generally speaking, people are aware and said, | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
This is a drop in the ocean, admittedly, or a particle | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
in the air, if you liked, when compared to the global problem | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
But new research shows how changing habits and switching off engines can | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
make a difference in protecting our most precious resource. | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
And who could say no to Nigel and these posters? Look at this one. | :20:02. | :20:14. | |
Make the earth cleaner. Less pollution. I like this one. Stop | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
pollution, it's the only solution. You can wait, but switch off the | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
engine. That is talk to Ralph from NICE. I'll be doing enough? We have | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
put Freedom of Information request to councils. Only 50 said they and | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
give staff the right to issues fines. The guides were using say it | :20:42. | :20:51. | |
is a good thing. Children and elderly are particularly vulnerable. | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
At the age of 14, they are at a stage of development, and pollution | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
can harm the development of their lungs. We want to do something about | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
this. And fines is one of the guidelines recommended. Do we expect | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
them to be successful and taken up? We see all sorts of signs outside | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
school about slowing down and not parking on the lines and that sort | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
of thing. Should this be at every school? It depends on the setting. | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
Look at where we are. Many high buildings surrounding us. That | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
causes a barrier that trapped pollutants inside. You have problems | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
in places like this. In other places with better insulation, there are a | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
number of diesel vehicles not passing through, and it is not so | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
much a problem. We know from measurements that this is one of the | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
three worst polluted schools in London. It is of particular concern | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
here. The children. Good morning. Tell me what you have been doing at | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
school. At school we have been doing many things towards idling. For | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
example, we have been learning how it can affect people. Yeah. And | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
mainly children. Some people with asthma and maybe lung disease. It | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
can affect them negatively. Absolutely. What will you do, | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
Joseph? Tell me about your white sheet. We put white sheets | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
everywhere. When we collect them back in, the one in the car park | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
that we put up was very black. Right. So was the one in the | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
playground. Though not as bad the point that is worrying, because then | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
you know that is what is happening inside your lungs as well. Shall we | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
have a back to the studio? Back to the studio, Dan and Louise. Back to | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
the studio, Dan and Louise. Excellent work. Thank you! Thank you | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
for remembering our names. I could get used to that. Now for the | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
weather with Carol! The best introduction ever. The weather has a | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
role to play in air pollution. I am no expert on the subject, but when | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
the rush-hour was, generally speaking, we do not have so many | :23:12. | :23:21. | |
problems. -- there are showers,. That is because the air is rising. | :23:22. | :23:30. | |
But with high pressure, that acts as a lid, keeping pollutants in We have | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
sunny spells and scattered showers in the forecast. Some have | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
persistent rain. Especially in south-west England. Low not far | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
away. And some fronts producing this rain. We are just off the peninsula | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
where we have had a gust of wind at 109 miles per hour recently. Nothing | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
like that here. This morning in south-west England, rain. Snow in | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
the moors. That will continue to pulls out. That is around the | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
Channel Islands. Southern counties. Sunny spells and bright spells. With | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
the cloud, certainly big enough for the odd shower. That extends into | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
central England as well. The same for Scotland. Another front in | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
Shetland producing rain. Aberdeenshire, frost. More showers | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
and hill snow in the west. A nippy start in Northern Ireland. Some | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
sunshine for you. It will not last all day. Wales, sunshine around. And | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
a nippy start. Through the day, you can see how it will remain. It will | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
improve in south-west England with sunshine and showers. Most of the | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
sunshine will be in the east. A lot of dry weather. But later in the | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
day, some more rain will show its hand across Northern Ireland. Some | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
else do with that as well. Through the evening and overnight that will | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
transfer into the mainland parts of England and Wales and Scotland. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
Showers in the east still. The wind direction, coming from all | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
directions. Cold enough for frost in sheltered areas tonight. Where there | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
are damp surfaces, the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Tomorrow, dry | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
and bright and much of the UK. More rain in the south-west and in Wales | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
and Northern Ireland. Ahead of that, cloud building. Windy as well. | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
Slowly progressing to the east. Eastern areas hanging onto the | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
driest conditions until after dark. There goes that front, moving east. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
Then another one sinking south, just in time for Wednesday. Then, on | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
Wednesday, we are looking at a pretty wet day in southern and | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
central areas. Rain in the north. But in between, brighter and | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
brighter conditions. Thank you very much for that. We will see you later | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
in the programme. This is BBC News. On Wednesday, the Chancellor will | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
unveil this budget. We are just outside Aberdeen looking at what it | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
means for young people, who have been very busy this morning. What | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
are they cooking up? Good morning. Good morning. A fancy rhubarb dish | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
we are making this morning with Nicole, one of the people employed | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
by this catering firm in Aberdeen. Around one third of their staff are | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
under 30 here. I am here talking to them about what they would like to | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
hear from the budget. We will do this all week, from different | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
generations the previous week is the millennials, those born in the 80s | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
and 90s. They are prepping 1500 meals a day. That will go to | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
businesses in the area and schools and nurseries. In Aberdeen they deal | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
a lot with the energy industry as well. I will tell you all about | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
that. But buying the European | :26:58. | :26:58. | |

rejected President Donald Trump's claim on Saturday that his | :32:46. | :32:48. | |
predecessor, Barack Obama, Mr Comey reportedly asked the US | :32:49. | :32:50. | |
Justice Department to reject the allegation Mr Obama ordered | :32:51. | :33:01. | |
a wiretap during last Our Washington correspondent | :33:02. | :33:03. | |
Nick Bryant has more on this story. The White House still hasn't | :33:04. | :33:08. | |
produced any evidence to back up the claim that Barack Obama | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
or the White House ordered wiretaps White House officials | :33:12. | :33:14. | |
pointing people, reporters, towards some newspaper reports | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
that they have read, which heightens the speculation that | :33:18. | :33:23. | |
President Trump's Twitter tirade was not based on intelligence | :33:24. | :33:25. | |
briefings that he had received, but rather, as strongly suspected, | :33:26. | :33:28. | |
he was reading a right-wing news One is James Clapper coming out | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
and saying there were no wiretaps. And Clapper is not only somebody | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
who worked for Barack Obama, he also worked for George W Bush | :33:38. | :33:40. | |
and George Herbert Walker Bush. He is seen as a trusted figure, | :33:41. | :33:43. | |
a non-partisan figure. And another key development - | :33:44. | :33:55. | |
the FBI director, James Comey, it has been reported he approached | :33:56. | :33:57. | |
the Justice Department, and asked the Justice Department | :33:58. | :34:00. | |
to come out publicly and say that President Trump was wrong, | :34:01. | :34:03. | |
that this was a false accusation, That is a big slap down | :34:04. | :34:06. | |
from the director of the FBI. Coming up on shortly Carol | :34:07. | :34:15. | |
will have the weather. But now, Sally is | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
here with the sport. Laura Muir is certainly an athlete | :34:21. | :34:29. | |
we'll be hearing a lot more She had the most prodigiously | :34:30. | :34:40. | |
brilliant weekend. We will be hearing a lot about this girl, | :34:41. | :34:42. | |
believe you me. She stormed to victory in Belgrade | :34:43. | :34:43. | |
in a championship record time ahead of Turkey's Yasemin Can | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
and compatriot Eilish McColgan. Muir's achievements matched those | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
of Colin Jackson set in Paris 23 I did know what my legs | :34:52. | :34:54. | |
were going to do today. I tried to hang in there | :34:55. | :35:04. | |
and I am very tired. But I'm so glad I | :35:05. | :35:07. | |
could do that today. Did go according to plan? I just | :35:08. | :35:20. | |
tried to tag onto Yasemin Can. And managed to cross the line in first | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
place. And after her efforts to complete | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
a victory lap on Saturday, she had a more relaxed time of it | :35:28. | :35:30. | |
celebrating her 3000m success. She confessed she was shattered. | :35:31. | :35:38. | |
Nobody stopping that little bit of a victory lap, they are. She did a bit | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
more running around in postal voters. Obviously delighted with the | :35:43. | :35:43. | |
result, there, last night. Asha Philip is also celebrating | :35:44. | :35:46. | |
gold, she pulled off a surprise, breaking the British record | :35:47. | :35:49. | |
on her way to taking the 60 metres. It's her first individual medal | :35:50. | :35:52. | |
at a major senior championships. I knew I had it in me, | :35:53. | :35:55. | |
and they think the confidence ran me through the race, but everytime | :35:56. | :36:10. | |
I seem to get on that start line, I thought a pickup in Eagle. But | :36:11. | :36:18. | |
they didn't. And they said I was going to go out and do my best. And | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
they did. They came out here for the W, and they did. | :36:24. | :36:30. | |
And Robbie Grabarz understandably said he was "over the moon" | :36:31. | :36:36. | |
with a silver medal in the high jump - just six weeks after having | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
an emergency operation to remove his appendix. | :36:41. | :36:41. | |
England's cricketers are enjoying their Caribbean | :36:42. | :36:43. | |
They've won twice in Antigua and now they are going to Barbados | :36:44. | :36:47. | |
The hosts chose to bat first but England bowled them out for 225, | :36:48. | :36:53. | |
always likely to be below a competitive total. | :36:54. | :36:55. | |
The West Indies spin bowlers gave England some problems but Joe Root | :36:56. | :36:58. | |
saw them home with ten balls to spare. | :36:59. | :37:01. | |
If you wanted to leave your job, you could do worse than following | :37:02. | :37:04. | |
the example of Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez. | :37:05. | :37:11. | |
He walked out of training, arguing with his teammates - | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
and almost got in a fight with one of them. | :37:16. | :37:18. | |
goalscorer - he was left out of the starting line-up | :37:19. | :37:29. | |
against Liverpool at the weekend by his manager Arsene Wenger. | :37:30. | :37:32. | |
He said it was a tactical decision instead of saying his striker | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
Elsewhere in North London, Tottenham have a very happy striker. | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
Harry Kane scored two more goals in their win over Everton. | :37:40. | :37:42. | |
It's their ninth consecutive home win in the league, | :37:43. | :37:44. | |
Two goals from Harry Kane and one from Delle Ali was enough to secure | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
It is true that we are playing very well. Always, it is very good to | :37:50. | :38:04. | |
play for our fans. The atmosphere is great. Weekend deal that. And yes, | :38:05. | :38:11. | |
so far, we are in a very good position, here. We feel confident | :38:12. | :38:17. | |
and we hope that we can go in the same way. -- we can feel that. | :38:18. | :38:27. | |
Manchester City are one point behind Spurs after winning 2-0 at | :38:28. | :38:30. | |
Sergio Aguero scored his 23rd goal of the season and Leroy Sane | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
It's a fourth league win in a row for Pep Guardiola's side. | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
There will be an Old Firm derby in the semi-finals | :38:39. | :38:41. | |
of the Scottish Cup after Celtic thrashed St Mirren 4-1 | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
Scott Sinclair scored the pick of Celtic's goals to give them | :38:44. | :38:51. | |
the lead as they came back from a goal down at home. | :38:52. | :38:54. | |
Aberdeen will face Hibs after their 1-0 victory over | :38:55. | :38:57. | |
And finally, the Wife-Carrying Championship has taken place | :38:58. | :39:03. | |
Lots of people taking part. There is one kind of hole that is very | :39:04. | :39:12. | |
popular. It is thought of upsidedown and over the shoulder. Over the hay | :39:13. | :39:20. | |
bales. And the winners were in fact Jack and Kirsty from North Wales. We | :39:21. | :39:26. | |
will see the end of the course is actually upheld. That is very | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
challenging. There is a Brogue Kick who just got his wife. -- there is a | :39:32. | :39:36. | |
blokey. And there you have -- and there you have Jack and | :39:37. | :39:40. | |
Kirsty. Getting ready to sit exams can | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
be a stressful time. With the summer term fast | :39:46. | :39:57. | |
approaching the BBC is launching a new way of helping pupils | :39:58. | :40:00. | |
cope with the pressure. Called the Mind Set, | :40:01. | :40:03. | |
it offers tips and tricks from 12 student coaches who have | :40:04. | :40:06. | |
recently been there. We'll speak to three of them | :40:07. | :40:08. | |
in a moment but here's a look Talk to your friends or parents. | :40:09. | :40:25. | |
They will want what is best to you. Tell them your concerns or talk to | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
friends and get advice from them. Because they properly went through | :40:30. | :40:32. | |
the same thing and might have come through it. When I realised that my | :40:33. | :40:36. | |
worrying are stressing was getting out of hand, realise they needed to | :40:37. | :40:39. | |
confide in somebody. So immediately went to my parents because they knew | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
I could talk to them. So every night, even if it was what I thought | :40:44. | :40:56. | |
was a series worry or something small, about it, and it is | :40:57. | :40:59. | |
surprising how much better you would feel after speaking to some of it. | :41:00. | :41:03. | |
-- silly. To know that your friends can connect to a certain situation | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
during this period is quite comforting. The maths teacher was | :41:07. | :41:09. | |
quite good because I have been dire at Mass since I was no edge. She | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
helped me by saying that all they needed to do was passed. And I could | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
get it over with. -- bad at maths. It is a stressful time. I know a lot | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
of people will be going through it, and have gone through it. | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
Joining us in the studio now are Dr Radha Modgil and student | :41:27. | :41:29. | |
Let's's talk about it in a general way. We will go to some specifics in | :41:30. | :41:37. | |
a moment, but let's talk about general things. Exams have always | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
been stressful, have a? They have. A rise in anxiety and expectation, as | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
well as competition is new. We are just catching up in terms of | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
teaching people how to deal with pressure. I think we need to do a | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
lot more about that. That is why this campaign is so fantastic. And | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
you and you have all come through exams yourself. What was it likely | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
you? How stressful did you find the whole process of revising and | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
entered in the exams? It was very stressful. There is a lot of | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
emphasis on what you don't know what you need to learn, and what I found | :42:17. | :42:20. | |
was helpful was focusing on what you do know, because it is a time in | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
your life where you are taking so much information. And all the GCSE | :42:25. | :42:27. | |
students should all be proud about. And that will help you with stress. | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
And you say you are stressed. Your stress. How did that affect... Poor | :42:33. | :42:39. | |
you! How did it affect you and what help to? I struggled a lot with | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
self-doubt is confidence. So I think that just are that I was doing well | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
and doing OK and reminding myself that it was my journey not comparing | :42:50. | :42:53. | |
myself to others. So it is for me and my GCSEs. There is so much | :42:54. | :43:02. | |
chatter. You can do the exam and asked how people dead. What did you | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
do about that? After exams, I would not say because you need to stay | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
with a small stress as possible. Citing not talking to others about | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
it and stressing is about more is the best thing to do. Because after | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
exams, there is a view can do, there is nothing good about talk about it. | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
Once you have done it, you just let it out. That is what I used to do. | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
People start asking questions about what you did, and your confidence is | :43:30. | :43:32. | |
shot. Are there any other techniques that you advise, now, being people | :43:33. | :43:38. | |
have gone through a? Some people might be worried about an hour with | :43:39. | :43:44. | |
them coming up. I was great about it now, as I started revising December. | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
I think that is the best advice can give. Start early so you are not | :43:49. | :43:54. | |
stressed at the end so there is not loads of the last point. Is yourself | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
into it, not all at once. It can feel overwhelming, the sheer scale | :44:00. | :44:03. | |
of it all. So how do you advise people to deal with that sort of | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
sense? I think the main thing to do is to tell somebody haler feeling. | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
And for those parents and teachers to listen and to make sure that they | :44:13. | :44:15. | |
are taking seriously. We'll know what it feels like when pressure | :44:16. | :44:20. | |
become stress. So talk about it, work out practical ways, as well, to | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
deal with revision timetables, things like that. Also they are | :44:26. | :44:29. | |
looking at exercise and well-being, having brakes, listening to music. | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
All of these tips and tricks are really important to keep you happy. | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
Because it is a long road on the way to exam. You start preparing very | :44:38. | :44:41. | |
early. You need to keep their reserve in the tech. It is a balance | :44:42. | :44:46. | |
between getting the pressure right. On the one hand, it is just a piece | :44:47. | :44:54. | |
of paper, but at the centre, it feels very important. And if you | :44:55. | :44:57. | |
validate, it can cause issues. Is that they sort of stress process you | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
feel yourself dealing with? Definitely. I was under a lot of | :45:01. | :45:05. | |
pressure. I was considered the student who is going to do really | :45:06. | :45:10. | |
well. Were you the head girl as well? I was. Even when people were | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
very lovely and helpful, I put a lot of pressure on myself. And wherever | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
the pressure is coming from, the most important thing is to tap into | :45:20. | :45:25. | |
why you want to do well. And if that is not something which has a | :45:26. | :45:28. | |
relationship with what you're doing, it not that pressure. Just focus on | :45:29. | :45:32. | |
the pressure that comes from you and use that to drive you. | :45:33. | :45:39. | |
What about taking breaks? That was important because you find a balance | :45:40. | :45:45. | |
between work and social life. Don't isolate yourself and your friends | :45:46. | :45:49. | |
because they are important. And they are going through the same thing. | :45:50. | :45:55. | |
Did you take breaks? I did. I was able to go hang out with my friends | :45:56. | :46:03. | |
for an hour. Are used that to motivate me to study hard. Spread it | :46:04. | :46:13. | |
out. --I used. Something strikes me about always being attached to | :46:14. | :46:18. | |
mobile phones and incoming messages on social media. What did you do | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
with that? I turned my phone off. I knew I would get distracted. Put it | :46:23. | :46:30. | |
in the cupboard. Really what about you? I would have a cheeky look. You | :46:31. | :46:37. | |
have to have your own approach. Every time I sat the exam, the first | :46:38. | :46:43. | |
hour, I would just organise my desk. Do you do that? Put all your pens in | :46:44. | :46:52. | |
line. Good advice. Thank you very much indeed. If you want to find out | :46:53. | :46:57. | |
more about how to keep calm during the exam period, go to | :46:58. | :47:04. | |
bbc.com/mindset. Good advice. And now for the weather. Good morning. | :47:05. | :47:10. | |
Good morning. A mixture this morning of sunshine, bright spells, and | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
showers. Also some rain in the forecast. That is because of an area | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
of low pressure coming in from south-west England bringing rain, | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
but also strong wind. The placement is important because it has gone | :47:23. | :47:27. | |
south. The root of the storm is affecting France. In fact, off the | :47:28. | :47:35. | |
coast of Brittany, we had a gust of 90 miles an hour. It is a | :47:36. | :47:39. | |
fast-moving storm. Later today, it would be down here. 80 miles an hour | :47:40. | :47:47. | |
here. Back on our shores, what we're looking at today a mixture of bright | :47:48. | :47:51. | |
spells, sunshine, and showers. The rain in the south continuing to push | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
southwards. Wet in the Channel Islands this morning. Windy. It will | :47:56. | :48:01. | |
give way to show later on eventually. Lots of showers later | :48:02. | :48:03. | |
on, especially in the east. Through the afternoon, they will | :48:04. | :48:07. | |
conglomerated in Northern Ireland with hill snow to boot. Hill snows | :48:08. | :48:13. | |
year. Most of the showers in the east. Hit and miss. A weather front | :48:14. | :48:20. | |
still plaguing this area. Northern England and the north-west, seeing | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
the brightest skies. Prone to showers here in the Pennines. | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
Heading to the Midlands and East Anglia and Kent. Not all of us will | :48:30. | :48:35. | |
catch showers. Some will stay dry. Bright weather in southern counties. | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
In the south-west, compared to the rain this morning, a much improved | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
picture. Wales as well will have a mostly dry afternoon with just a few | :48:45. | :48:48. | |
showers here and there. Through the evening and overnight, hanging on | :48:49. | :48:52. | |
our lot of showers. Lots of dry weather as well. -- on to. Where it | :48:53. | :48:58. | |
is cold enough, we could have some ice on untreated surfaces. Also some | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
frost as well. Wind coming from every direction. Tomorrow we start | :49:04. | :49:08. | |
off with a chilly note. Again, when we lose the showers in the east, dry | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
and bright weather. Some fine china. The next weather fronts coming in | :49:13. | :49:16. | |
from the Atlantic will introduce rain initially to south-west | :49:17. | :49:19. | |
England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Ahead of that system, the | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
cloud will build. Not until after dark that we will see the rain in | :49:24. | :49:28. | |
the far east. Eastern areas hanging onto the sunken for the longest | :49:29. | :49:35. | |
time. Another weather front going south just in time for Wednesday. | :49:36. | :49:40. | |
So, when today's picture is looking quite messy. A fair bit of rain | :49:41. | :49:45. | |
around at times. -- Wednesday's. The tale of that weather front still | :49:46. | :49:52. | |
affecting Scotland. Breezy. High as 14. Thank you. Wednesday is messy. | :49:53. | :50:00. | |
And what about for the Chancellor? On Wednesday, the Chancellor | :50:01. | :50:09. | |
will unveil his financial plan for the country | :50:10. | :50:12. | |
in his spring budget. This week on Breakfast we're looking | :50:13. | :50:14. | |
at what it could mean Today's focus is on millennials, | :50:15. | :50:17. | |
those born between the early 1980s Steph is at a catering firm | :50:18. | :50:21. | |
just outside Aberdeen. Good morning. They are making her | :50:22. | :50:28. | |
work. Good morning. That is not me. That is the expert hands of Nicole. | :50:29. | :50:31. | |
Something mesmerising about watching things being chopped up, well, fruit | :50:32. | :50:38. | |
and veg and things like that. This is a big catering firm. They employ | :50:39. | :50:44. | |
a lot of people. Around one third of their staff are under the age of 30. | :50:45. | :50:47. | |
They supplied the area. They will talk about how they feel about the | :50:48. | :50:53. | |
economy and the budget on Wednesday. They are prepping 1500 meals here. | :50:54. | :51:01. | |
So many businesses in the area are being served by them. It is | :51:02. | :51:06. | |
certainly a busy business. I can talk to Shane, one of the apprentice | :51:07. | :51:10. | |
is. Tell us what you have done here. I have been on a chef | :51:11. | :51:14. | |
apprenticeships for three years. I am training us. You are only 19. | :51:15. | :51:21. | |
Tell us about the things you are doing with money. I use it on my car | :51:22. | :51:29. | |
or my pet. Insurance is going up every year. It is a struggle. You | :51:30. | :51:36. | |
fork out a lot on your car. And you want to join the housing ladder is | :51:37. | :51:41. | |
it is really expensive to buy a house to buy it this is an area that | :51:42. | :51:51. | |
did well off the oil industry, but you feel it will be a while. It is | :51:52. | :51:55. | |
really hard to buy a house. Good luck with the rest of your career. | :51:56. | :51:59. | |
Housing is a big issue for Shane, but many people around the country | :52:00. | :52:03. | |
as well. We went to meet some people in London to hear their thoughts on | :52:04. | :52:05. | |
it. I live in Tottenham, north London, | :52:06. | :52:11. | |
with my parents and my brother I live at home with | :52:12. | :52:22. | |
my mum and sister. I live in Surrey and I am renting | :52:23. | :52:27. | |
and lived with four other people. All this week, we will be getting | :52:28. | :52:31. | |
a grip on what this generation wants If you are a millennial, | :52:32. | :52:40. | |
you were born between 1981 and 2000. You are finishing education | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
and making a start to your career. You have been most affected | :52:46. | :52:48. | |
by the falling pay of recent years and are struggling to get | :52:49. | :52:51. | |
onto the housing ladder and are suffering high | :52:52. | :52:54. | |
rents as a result. Me and my sister share a room, | :52:55. | :52:56. | |
which we have done all our lives. It is a bit like, OK, | :52:57. | :53:02. | |
it is time to go. How does your mother | :53:03. | :53:14. | |
feel about this? Until I am kicked out, | :53:15. | :53:19. | |
I am going to have to stay there. None of their salaries can come | :53:20. | :53:24. | |
remotely close to the six-figure Toby managed to move out of home, | :53:25. | :53:27. | |
but only by moving out of the city. The aim for you is to | :53:28. | :53:33. | |
own your own home? Like many of the people my age, | :53:34. | :53:35. | |
I could get a deposit, I just am concerned | :53:36. | :53:42. | |
about economic stability. That is the big thing for to be | :53:43. | :53:53. | |
especially with Brexit. I want the government to reassure me | :53:54. | :53:56. | |
with something coming out now. What do they want from the budget | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
on Wednesday exactly? Housebuilding, economic | :54:00. | :54:02. | |
security, and Brexit. So, this is what I want, | :54:03. | :54:03. | |
affordable housing, and how I want the government to support | :54:04. | :54:06. | |
young people so they don't have to move out of the city | :54:07. | :54:13. | |
to make a living. So, Philip Hammond, | :54:14. | :54:15. | |
if you are watching, millennials want housing, | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
housing, and housing. And a new focus on a generation that | :54:20. | :54:21. | |
largely feels left out. So, some thoughts there from some | :54:22. | :54:37. | |
young people that we met. So more people to talk to. The founder of | :54:38. | :54:46. | |
Young Money Blog. And one of the economists at NatWest. We heard some | :54:47. | :54:54. | |
thoughts. Cars with Shane and housing too. It is interesting that | :54:55. | :54:58. | |
he talked about car insurance. Many of the workers here have told us | :54:59. | :55:01. | |
about the pressures they face. Many have had to get on their bike to get | :55:02. | :55:08. | |
work. The equivalent is to get in the car. How can you do that when | :55:09. | :55:12. | |
car insurance is into the thousands each year. Perhaps we need to | :55:13. | :55:18. | |
rethink changes to the car insurance premium. And the rate which means | :55:19. | :55:23. | |
people get more money if they are in a car accident and claim | :55:24. | :55:27. | |
compensation but we have to pay more in insurance premiums. We have to | :55:28. | :55:32. | |
address that the bite and wages as well. Absolutely. The national | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
living wage at the moment, there is only a legal requirement to give | :55:37. | :55:42. | |
that you over 35s. Perhaps we should rethink that and give the under 25s. | :55:43. | :55:46. | |
They need help with wages to bite absolutely. Of we talk about the | :55:47. | :55:54. | |
pressure on young people, but what about the pressure on the chance of | :55:55. | :55:58. | |
it? He is under pressure. But we have good news. The economy will | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
grow faster than it was 4-5 months ago. That means there will be more | :56:03. | :56:13. | |
need to spend money. But as a country, we want the government to | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
spend more money on public services than we paid with tax is. -- taxes. | :56:18. | :56:26. | |
He will have to bring the deficit down. More tax and less spending. | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
Interesting to see what happens in the next two days. You will stay | :56:32. | :56:37. | |
with us to talk later on. First, the news, travel, and weather, where | :56:38. | :00:00. | |
This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :00:01. | :00:06. | |
A new chapter for British car-making - the French company which owns | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Citroen and Peugeot seals a deal to buy Vauxhall. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
The 2 billion euro deal raises questions over the future of 4,000 | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
jobs at its Ellesmere Port and Luton plants and 30,000 more, | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Police launch a new campaign urging people to report suspicious activity | :00:19. | :00:45. | |
North Korea launches four missiles towards the Sea of Japan. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
Tokyo calls it "a new stage of threat." | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
On Wednesday, the Chancellor will unveil his last spring Budget. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
All this week on Breakfast, we're looking at what it means | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Today we are talking about millennial is, those born in the 80s | :01:02. | :01:15. | |
and 90s was the I am at Obama in Aberdeen that they employ a lot of | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
them define that what they think about the economy. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
What a weekend it's been for Britains Laura Muir! | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
She claimed the 3000 metre title to add to her 1500 metre win | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
at the European Indoor Athletics Championships. | :01:27. | :01:27. | |
And this time she was allowed a victory lap. | :01:28. | :01:37. | |
We are at a primary school which suffers from air pollution. The | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
children have a clear message for drivers who do not switch off their | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
engines. News on that and the rest of the weather from Carol. A chilly | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
start all some of us with Frost. For most of us it would be a day of | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
writes about, sunshine and showers. More details in 15 minutes. -- | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
bright spells. There's uncertainty for thousands | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
of British car workers as a deal that will see Vauxhall sold | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
to the French owners of Peugeot The French car giant PSA has agreed | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
to buy General Motors European The deal includes Vauxhall's plants | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
in Ellesmere Port and Luton, from where our reporter, | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Simon Clemison, joins us now. Good morning. There have Dean shifts | :02:28. | :02:45. | |
changing over this morning I have been speaking to some of the | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
workers. They are concerned about this deal that has been confirmed | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
this morning but we have been expecting it for a couple of weeks. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
What this means is that car industry map of Europe, which includes Luton | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
and elsewhere port, could now be rewritten. -- else may port. | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
In the car industry, we're used to car brands been owned | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
But if the European arm of General Motors, which makes | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Vauxhall, or Opel in Germany, to the company that makes Peugeot | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
and Citroen goes ahead, it would be a huge move, | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
making the French manufacturer the second biggest | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
But there are now fears for jobs, which the Unite union says | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
More than 1900 people produce the Astra at Ellesmere Port, | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
with 120,000 vehicles rolling off the production line each year. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Thousands more are employed in the supply chain. | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
There are about 1400 workers at Luton, making one | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
General Motors has been losing money on these sides | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
If workers here eventually have new bosses in France, | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
rather than in America, there are questions over how | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Commentators say they have capacity to build more cars at the plants | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
The Government has been speaking to the | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
But there are concerns for jobs and pensions once | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
existing contracts start to expire in 2021. | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
As we know, it does not make much sense to move production until the | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
models come to the end of the run. It is costly and complex will do | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
everything here is set up for it. It is what happens after that that is | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
the big concern. What if Peugeot word to say, we have a van, let | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
essentially put the Vauxhall badge on it. They are talking this morning | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
about seeing through the turnaround plans would they want to make a | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
profit, they may have to do something. More detail is what we | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
are expecting in the next hour in a news conference. More detail is what | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
many of these workers will want to see. Plenty more on that on the rest | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
of the programme and throughout the day on the BBC News Channel. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
13 potential terror attacks have been prevented since June 20 13. | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley is launching a campaign to encourage | :05:14. | :05:30. | |
more people to report this activity. There was a plotted Al-Qaeda bombing | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
campaign against targets like nightclubs and shopping centres. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Well -- a woman working at the storage warehouse became suspicious | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
and reported it to the police, potentially saving hundreds of | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
lives. If you see something suspicious, report it. A new police | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
campaign focuses on the important contribution the public can make. It | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
can be any thing that strikes you as unusual. | :06:01. | :06:21. | |
Detectives say the public is still playing an important part | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
in one third of their current investigations. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Senior detectives are warning that supporters of so-called | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
Islamic State are not the only threat. | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Al Qaeda remains a danger, too, as does far-right terrorism. | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
New official figures show that the number of attacks | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
in Britain thought to have been thwarted since June 2013 has risen | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
to 13, one higher than the figure given six months ago. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
At any one time, the security services are running | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
The threat level remains at severe, which means that the risk | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
of an attack is assessed as "highly likely". | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
On Breakfast in the next few minutes, we'll be speaking to the | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
Assistant Commissioner. That is innate few minutes. -- that is in a | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
few minutes. North Korea has fired four missiles | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
- three of which landed in Japanese-controlled waters less | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
than 200 miles from They appear to have been launched | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
from a remote military We can speak to our correspondent, | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Steve Evans, who joins us from South Korea's capital, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Seoul. I imagine they are taking this | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
seriously. What more can you talus? A lot of talk of tightening | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
sanctions and something must be done. Every year, South Korea and | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
the US have big military exercises. North Korea gets very angry about | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
this and often looses off missiles. We do not know if this is different | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
in that they are better missiles. North Korea is improving its | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
technology. Last year, it launched a whole string of missiles, many of | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
them doubts. Three of them appear to have gone a distance. It may be | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
getting better but, is it getting better with better, different | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
missiles, making progress towards having a nuclear strike capability | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
on the US, or is it getting better with the same missiles it has used | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
for a while? Thank you very much. Labour has said it is "confident" | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
that Jeremy Corbyn has paid The Labour Leader published his tax | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
return as part of a call It appeared to show his MP salary, | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
plus pension payments, but not the money he is entitled | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
to as leader of the opposition. However, the party said | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
the allowance of just over ?27,000 was included and was | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
taxed at source. Survivors, rescue workers | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
and victims relatives will gather today to mark the 30th anniversary | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
of the Zeebrugge ferry disaster. 193 passengers and crew died | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
when the Herald of Free Enterprise capsized shortly after | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
leaving the Belgian port. Our Europe Reporter | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
Gavin Lee joins us. The capsized hulk of one Britain's | :08:50. | :09:08. | |
worst shipping disasters. The Herald Of Free Enterprise lying on its side | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
at the entrance to the port of Zeebrugge. The British ferry | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
disaster of Belgian... It took around 90 seconds for the | :09:18. | :09:41. | |
vessel to turnover. It helped to save many lives. 193 passengers and | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
crew died. The official enquiry found that the bow doors were | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
mistakenly left open as she left port. An attempt to prosecute | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
crewmembers and the company collapsed in court. In Dover today, | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
memorial service will take place to allow the victims families to mark | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
the 30th anniversary. The bell will be presented at the service. Three | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
decades on, this disaster continues to influence the lives of hundreds | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
of ordinary people, the design of ships, and Britain's Maritime | :10:19. | :10:18. | |
history. FBI director James Comey has | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
rejected President Donald Trump's claim on Saturday | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
that his predecessor, Mr Comey reportedly asked the US | :10:27. | :10:27. | |
Justice Department to reject the allegation Mr Obama ordered | :10:28. | :10:40. | |
a wiretap during last Our Washington correspondent has | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
more on the story. The White House has not produced any | :10:43. | :10:57. | |
evidence for this. White House officials pointing people, | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
reporters, toward some newspaper reports they have read which | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
heightens the speculation at President Trump's Twitter Thai red | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
was not based on intelligence briefings but on suspicions he was | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
reading a right-wing news report. Two key development. One is the | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
former director of National intelligence coming out and saying | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
there were no wiretaps. He is not only someone who worked for Barack | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Obama he also worked for George W Bush. He is seen as a nonpartisan | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
and trusted figure. The FBI director James Komi, it has been reported, | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
has asked the Justice Barman to say that President Trump was wrong. This | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
was a full is activation needs to be corrected. -- the Justice | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
Department. That is a big slap down from the director of the FBI. | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
Members of the public have made significant contributions to a third | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
of the 100 most high risk ongoing terrorism investigations. | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
That's according to Britain's most senior counter-terrorism officer, | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
who says the public are key to keeping our streets safe. | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
And Assistant commissioner Mark Rowley joins us now. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Good morning. Thank you for talking to us today. So much to talk about. | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
Let's start with the nature of the threat you'd think we are facing | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
these days. It is broader than it has ever been before. When you look | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
at the attacks on the continent, in Brussels and Paris, these were big, | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
sophisticated attacks causing major loss of life. Through to some of the | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
attacks which have been foiled or conducted on the continent where you | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
have one individual radicalised who has a knife and wants to kill one or | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
two people. We have to deal with all of those. While we are succeeding at | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
the moment with 13 plots disrupted over the last four years, we need | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
more information. What sort of information are you getting what are | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
you looking for? How has it helped to thwart recent plots? The best | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
place to start from is our work is like doing a jigsaw without all the | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
pieces. Surveillance is not perfect. People use encrypted applications | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
and it is a challenge. Sometimes a member of the public gives | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
information which will start an investigation. Other times we | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
already have an investigation under way and a give another piece to | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
help. It may be someone in the cumin tea or who says someone's | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
personality has changed and they are showing signs of radicalisation. All | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
the way through to somebody you do not know, maybe where you work or go | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
shopping and you see someone, in an area you know, where instinctively | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
you'd think that is not quite right. That is what we want. Even know we | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
are getting a lot of the public have a job to help us but they say they | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
do not know how and not competent to do it. This appeal by pod and | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
website information, all of that is about giving the public more | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
information to ensure them about how we will treat the information. One | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
concern you picked up on is that people are concerned they are | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
wasting your time. It is a bit odd but I will not trouble anybody. | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
We'll try to build up confidence. If your instinct says it is wrong, | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
please call us. Even if it is not right, no one is going to throw away | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
the key on a call. Sometimes got that call gives us the starting | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
point for an operation about targets we do not know about. The idea | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
you're working on 500 investigations and still requesting this | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
information, those that mean that strategy is not working and you are | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
not stopping radicalisation? In the last year or two, 150 people have | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
shown signs of radicalisation, ambitions to travel to Syria and | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
preventative work done by police, local authorities, the channel | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
programme, they have been steered back onto a more sensible view of | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
the world and have not travelled. Some of that information, if you | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
spot someone early on on a path of radicalisation, it might be a young | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
person who at a vulnerable point in their life is having their heads | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
turned, the more it can be preventative rather than someone | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
planning to do something awful being imprisoned for a long time, which is | :15:38. | :15:38. | |
sad. Can you give us any figures? 150 people who have been looking to | :15:39. | :15:47. | |
travel to Syria will be one part of it. We're, every month we're closing | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
between about 50 and 70 cases where concern has been raised about an | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
individual and police, local authorities and voluntary agencies | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
have worked to try and steer them back on to a sensible course. That's | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
fantastic results. You talked about the different levels of threat from | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
a Paris-style attack to individuals. Let's deal with that sort of, the | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
attack that happened at the Bataclan. Are you ready if that sort | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
of thing was to happen here? Are officers ready for that sort of | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
thing? We have done an immense amount to strengthen our ability to | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
respond. You will see have lots of announcements. After that, we looked | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
at that and worked with Government and they gave us extra money and | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
we're trying firearms officers and that's the firearms officers who are | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
on 24/7 and some of our more high grade specialists who can deal with | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
the most difficult situations. I know you talked about this before, | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
if that sort of thing were to happen, you talked about members of | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
the public, you know, it is a very terrifying situation... Completely. | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
What's your advice? On our website, there is information. It is run, | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
hide, tell. We have seen information in the past where people might, | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
where I am and then some someone in authority will tell me what to do. | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
Run, get as far as away as possible and to the point where you can hide | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
yourself safely and call the authorities, call the police. It is | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
simple advice that's designed to be simple. We know it would work and it | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
is based on analysing attacks across the world. Good to speak to you. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Thank you very much indeed for your time this morning. | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
It's 8. .17am. Let's find out what's happening with the weather. | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
It has been raining steadily across the south-west of England. That is | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
moving quite quickly across France and towards the Mediterranean and | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
Italy, but we have had a gust of wind recorded off the coast of | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
Brittany at 119mph. Nothing like that in south-west England, but it | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
is blustery and you can see all the rain associated with it. Extending | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
down into the Channel Islands where at the moment it is pretty wet. Now, | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
it will remain so in the Channel Islands for a wee while yet and that | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
rain will turn more showery and it will brighten up. That's certainly | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
the case across south-west England. A lot of dry weather, but a fair few | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
showers, more especially in eastern area, but later in Northern Ireland, | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
we will start to see the showers line up and some of them will merge. | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
Producing some rain at lower levels and snow with height. For Scotland, | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
a lot of dry weather. A fair bit of sunshine, but there are a scattering | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
of showers around. Wintry on the hills and still an old weather front | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
playing the Northern Isles. North-east England seeing a few more | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
showers and again the showers hit and miss wherever you are, but | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
through parts of the Midlands and into East Anglia, Essex and into | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
Kent, but in between them, it will be dry or bright and sunny skies. | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Variable amounts of cloud and sunshine and this morning's rain | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
giving way to some showers, but still quite blustery. For Wales this | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
afternoon, a beautiful afternoon with just a few showers. Through the | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
evening and overnight, the showery outbreaks of rain will push across | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
into western areas. We will have some in the east, but in between, | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
there is a lot of dry weather. The wind coming at us from every | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
direction, but not particularly strong and of course, where we've | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
got damp surfaces and low temperatures there is the risk of | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
ice on untreated surfaces and frost. Now, we've got the next system | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
waiting in the wings for tomorrow and it's coming our way. So after a | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
dry and bright start with sunshine here comes into the rain into | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
south-west England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The cloud will | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
build so it is eastern areas that will hang on to the sunshine and | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
probably we won't see the rain until after dark. In the sunshine highs of | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
11 Celsius will feel pleasant. Nothing special. If you're in the | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
rain it's seven Celsius. So that system, you can see the two fronts | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
continue to drift away, but we've got another one that's heading | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
south-east wards and the tail end of it by the time we get to Thursday | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
will take another swipe at the south-west. Let's deal with | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Wednesday first. We have got a weather front sinking south taking | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
the rain with itment more rain and windier conditions in the north. In | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
between, drier and brighter. A blustery day, but look at that, 14 | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
Celsius in London. Ten Celsius in glass gosmt that's more like it, Lou | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
and Dan. Isn't it, indeed? Thank you Carol. | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
It is 30 years since Britain's worst ferry disaster. Gavin Lee is there | :20:41. | :20:50. | |
for us this morning. Good morning. What is happening there today? Just | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
behind me, from this boat is the spot just ahead behind this harbour | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
wall here where the Herald of Free Enterprise sank. It capsized and it | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
was the most simple, careless and catastrophic mistake that the staff | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
didn't shut the bow doors. The assistant, Mark Stanley was asleep | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
he told an inquest later in his cabin. Thousands of tonnes of water | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
went into the vehicle deck and within 90 seconds the ship had | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
capsized and 30 years on, I'm on a Navy boat. This is part of the | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
commemorations, but on this boat some of the families, some of the | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
survivors, some of the rescuers as well are coming back to place | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
flowers in the water at exactly the same spot. Let me bring in one of | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
the rescuers. This is Daniel. You were one of the military divers that | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
day. It is clearly, you know, 500 people on board, 193 people died. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
Can you tell me a bit about what you remember from that day being on the | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
water? That day, I was on duty at home and the telephone rings and the | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
officer said, "I and two other divers must go to Zeebrugge because | :22:18. | :22:33. | |
a boat was sinking. We arrived here on another boat. You worked | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
underwater for hours on end. Tell me about that. And you came across | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
survivors as well. I rescued only dead people because I was not the | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
first on board. The first was A commander. He was one of the first. | :22:49. | :22:56. | |
He rescued ten, 20, maybe 30 people. Did you say there were three British | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
lorry drivers in a cabin who were trapped thaw managed to get to? Yes. | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
Tell me about that. That's true. That was 5am in the morning, I think | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
so, but they were not underwater, they were in the cabin. They were in | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
the cabin. We rescued them. You saved their lives? No, because they | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
are not in the water. It was very cold for them, of course, but not in | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
the water. Let me ask you, what does it mean for you to be back here | :23:29. | :23:37. | |
today commemorating like this? They invite me and I don't say no out of | :23:38. | :23:48. | |
respect to the people who died here. That's the reason I am coming. Thank | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
you. Thank you for talking to us Daniel. There is a lot of people on | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
this boat that are finding it really difficult, I have to say today and | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
many people who have decided not to come today, it is such a difficult | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
moment, but so many more say just to see the moment when the flowers are | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
laid to pay their respects will be very powerful in a short while too. | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
I'm sure it will be a very poignant day there today. Thank you, Gavin. | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
More now on the ?1.9 billion deal that will see French company PSA buy | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
The deal has huge implications for the 4,500 workers | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
at Vauxhall's plants at Ellesmere Port and Luton. | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
Joining us is Karel Williams, Professor of Accounting | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
and Political Economy at Manchester Business School. | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
Good morning to you. So first up, I suppose, you know, what do you | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
think, right at the start for people going into work today at these | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
plants, are they worried? Should they be concerned? Is this a good | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
thing? Well, they shouldn't worry about this year and next year, the | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
big thing in the car industry is when they change over the models. | :24:56. | :25:03. | |
The Astra is safe until 2020, the Vivara until 2025, but there is a | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
big question and this increases the certainty about whether the models | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
will be replaced. If you go back to PSA in the UK, and in 2007, that was | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
about the run out of the 2006 and the new models going to be built | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
elsewhere. And in addition to that, I suppose, when those contracts come | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
to an end, there is broader concerns about the way the motor industry is | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
developing and how we'll buy our cars in the future as well? Well, I | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
think there are very large questions about autonomous cars, battery cars, | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
changes in the whole business which will mean that car companies are | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
competing with tech companies, but leave that to one side, I think | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
someone like the CEO of PSA will be concerned to take cost out of the | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
operation, will be concerned to close plants and I think if you add | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
Brexit to the mix, that's another complication because Luton and | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
Ellesmere, like the rest of the British industry, are importing most | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
of their components and exporting most of their output. And that could | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
have, are you saying cost implications? Well, I think, I think | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
this is probably a more important point beyond Luton and Ellesmere | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
Port. If you look at the industry as a whole, 60% of the components are | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
imported. 80% of the output is exported. Mainly to Europe. And any | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
kind of customs friction in that movement is going to greatly | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
complicate things and make the industry much more nervous. What | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
does this mean for the rest of the car industry in the UK? If they're | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
worried here, I know it might be years down the line, how might that | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
affect the rest of the industry? We need import substitution in | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
components quickly. The Government has succeeded in pushing up count of | :26:54. | :27:04. | |
cars from 36% to 41%, they need to have targets of 60% so they reduce | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
the friction. That gives efficient plants the chance to compete on the | :27:12. | :27:12. | |
basis of efficiency. It's time for the news, | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
travel and weather where you are. I'll be back in half an hour | :27:17. | :30:34. | |
with all the latest. Hello, this is Breakfast | :30:35. | :30:43. | |
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. There's uncertainty for thousands | :30:44. | :30:50. | |
of British car workers as a deal that will see Vauxhall sold | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
to the French owners of Peugeot The French car giant PSA has agreed | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
to buy General Motors European The deal includes Vauxhall's plants | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
in Ellesmere Port and Luton. We can speak now to our business | :31:02. | :31:17. | |
correspondent Joe Lynam. It sounds from the financial point of view, a | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
huge deal. What does it mean for workers here? I have been watching | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
the press conference between the bosses of PSA which owns Peugeot and | :31:28. | :31:32. | |
Citroen and Mary Barra, the boss of General Motors. Let me quote you | :31:33. | :31:38. | |
from Carlos Tavarez. He said we want to create a European Ultra motor | :31:39. | :31:43. | |
champion and unleash the potential of Vauxhall and Opel and committed | :31:44. | :31:49. | |
to the two iconic brands. Those are the words that the 4000 Vauxhall | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
employees will welcome this morning. They were worried about their | :31:55. | :31:58. | |
future. Their jobs are almost certainly safe until 2020. The boss | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
of PSA has given those assurances, but next year, 2018, PSA will have | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
to make a decision about where it will make the next generation of | :32:08. | :32:13. | |
Vauxhall Astra. At the moment it is made in Ellesmere Port in | :32:14. | :32:16. | |
Merseyside. Will that still be the case after 2020? We will not know | :32:17. | :32:22. | |
until 2018. Britain will be in the throes of a massive negotiation with | :32:23. | :32:29. | |
its 27 European partners about a future trade deal which could play a | :32:30. | :32:37. | |
role in those talks. Thank you. Information from the public has | :32:38. | :32:40. | |
helped police in a third of potential terror investigations. | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
Security services have prevented 13 potential terror | :32:45. | :32:46. | |
attacks since June 2013, the UK's most senior | :32:47. | :32:47. | |
counter-terrorism police officer has revealed. | :32:48. | :32:55. | |
North Korea has fired four missiles, three of which landed less | :32:56. | :32:57. | |
than two hundred miles from the coast of Japan. | :32:58. | :33:00. | |
The missiles appear to have been launched from a remote military | :33:01. | :33:02. | |
South Korea's acting president has called it a serious provocation | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
Talks are beginning in Belfast today aimed at forming | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
The two largest parties, the Democratic Unionists | :33:12. | :33:15. | |
and Sinn Fein, are still divided over a botched green energy scheme | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
that led to the collapse of their previous administration. | :33:21. | :33:22. | |
Sinn Fein say the DUP leader, Arlene Foster, can't be re-appointed | :33:23. | :33:25. | |
as First Minister while her role in the scheme is being investigated. | :33:26. | :33:36. | |
FBI director James Comey has rejected President Donald Trump's | :33:37. | :33:38. | |
claim on Saturday that his predecessor, Barack Obama, | :33:39. | :33:40. | |
Mr Comey reportedly asked the US justice department to reject | :33:41. | :33:49. | |
the allegation that Mr Obama ordered a wiretap during last | :33:50. | :33:51. | |
He is said to have asked for the correction because it | :33:52. | :33:55. | |
falsely insinuates that the FBI broke the law. | :33:56. | :34:03. | |
And coming up here on Breakfast this morning... | :34:04. | :34:09. | |
We'll have more on the campaign to stop drivers leaving | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
their engines idling when picking up their kids from school. | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
They're the Toronto Wolfpack and they're Rugby League's first | :34:16. | :34:18. | |
We'll talk to the club's owner about how he plans | :34:19. | :34:22. | |
And after nine, we'll speak to the former teacher Simon Warr | :34:23. | :34:27. | |
about his two-year fight to clear his name | :34:28. | :34:29. | |
after he was accused of a crime he didn't commit. | :34:30. | :34:36. | |
And Sally is here with all the sport. | :34:37. | :34:42. | |
Morning. It has been a really busy weekend of sport. Lots to talk | :34:43. | :34:47. | |
about. We will talk to Mr Tony Bellew in a moment. | :34:48. | :34:56. | |
That was quite a fight on Saturday. He has broken his hand and David | :34:57. | :34:59. | |
Haye ruptured his Achilles. That is a very important conversation coming | :35:00. | :35:03. | |
up in a moment. We are going to start with Laura Muir. | :35:04. | :35:06. | |
Laura Muir is certainly an athlete we'll be hearing a lot more | :35:07. | :35:09. | |
She stormed to victory in Belgrade in a championship record time ahead | :35:10. | :35:13. | |
of Turkey's Yasemin Can and compatriot Eilish McColgan. | :35:14. | :35:15. | |
Muir's achievements matched those of Colin Jackson | :35:16. | :35:16. | |
set in Paris 23 years ago, before she was even born. | :35:17. | :35:22. | |
I didn't know what my legs were going to do today and I try to hang | :35:23. | :35:28. | |
in there. I was feeling a bit tired but I was so glad to come away with | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
that today. Did it go according to plan? The Turkish athlete is more of | :35:35. | :35:41. | |
an endurance athlete, that worked well, I tagged onto her. | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
And after her efforts to complete a victory lap on Saturday, | :35:46. | :35:48. | |
she had a more relaxed time of it celebrating her 3000m success. | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
No jobs-worth stewards around this time! | :35:52. | :35:56. | |
Asha Philip is also celebrating gold, she pulled off a surprise, | :35:57. | :35:58. | |
breaking the British record on her way to taking the 60 metres. | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
It's her first individual medal at a major senior championships. | :36:02. | :36:08. | |
Well done to her. I was so happy. I was not doubting | :36:09. | :36:17. | |
myself. I knew I had it in me and I think the confidence got me through | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
the race. Every time I got on the start line a false start happened | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
and I thought, I have not got time for that in the final. There was a | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
niggle, it was in my head. I said, do you know what, I'm just going to | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
grow out there and do my best and I did. | :36:34. | :36:36. | |
And Robbie Grabarz understandably said he was "over the moon" | :36:37. | :36:38. | |
with a silver medal in the high jump - just six weeks after having | :36:39. | :36:41. | |
an emergency operation to remove his appendix. | :36:42. | :36:45. | |
England's cricketers are enjoying their Caribbean | :36:46. | :36:46. | |
They've won twice in Antigua and now they are going to Barbados | :36:47. | :36:52. | |
The West Indies chose to bat first in the second one-day international, | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
but England bowled them out for just 225. | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
In reply, they had some troubles, but Joe Root saw them home | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
If you wanted to leave your job, you could do worse than following | :37:03. | :37:08. | |
the example of Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez. | :37:09. | :37:10. | |
He walked out of training, arguing with his teammates - | :37:11. | :37:12. | |
and almost got in a fight with one of them. | :37:13. | :37:20. | |
The Chilean is Arsenal's top goal scorer. | :37:21. | :37:23. | |
He was left out of the starting line-up | :37:24. | :37:25. | |
against Liverpool at the weekend by his manager Arsene Wenger. | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
He said it was a tactical decision instead of saying | :37:29. | :37:30. | |
I have almost no voice! I will continue, power on! | :37:31. | :37:43. | |
BT sport will continue to show Champions League and Europa League | :37:44. | :37:45. | |
The broadcaster is paying around ?394 million a year | :37:46. | :37:52. | |
So there is nothing on terrestrial at all, not even highlights? It will | :37:53. | :38:10. | |
all be on laptops and phones. If I am struggling with my voice, | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
there is a man now who is struggling with injuries. Tony Bellew is linked | :38:16. | :38:22. | |
with some huge fights. He caused a huge upset on Saturday | :38:23. | :38:27. | |
night. He emerged victorious after his bout with David Haye. Tony | :38:28. | :38:33. | |
Bellew joins us on the phone. How was the hand? Have you got a broken | :38:34. | :38:39. | |
knuckle, a broken finger or a broken hand? It looks like a purple pillow | :38:40. | :38:47. | |
at the moment. I have broken my hands four or five times before so I | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
kind of know what it is. I am just in pain at the moment and it is what | :38:52. | :38:58. | |
it is. The spoils of war. Tony, I have to ask you, I know you are | :38:59. | :39:01. | |
supposed to be doing the school run this morning, how is that going? Mum | :39:02. | :39:10. | |
is trying to get the last few bits together for them and I am just | :39:11. | :39:14. | |
walking around in pain, to be honest, like a bit of a zombie! It | :39:15. | :39:18. | |
is another day in the household, just doing what we do best and that | :39:19. | :39:22. | |
is try our best to get the kids ready for school and get the last | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
little bits together. Tony, how many more times can you do this? I don't | :39:28. | :39:34. | |
know, I don't know. Not many, if at all. | :39:35. | :39:45. | |
If at all? Might that have been your last fight? That is a possibility, | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
yes. If they want to talk to me about having another fight, then I | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
don't know, it will have to be something special because I will be | :39:53. | :39:54. | |
honest, I can't keep doing this to my family and my body. I am in a lot | :39:55. | :39:59. | |
of pain. Hand is broken again and cuts on the face. I am just in a | :40:00. | :40:08. | |
world of pain, I really, really an. -- am. And for my family, it is not | :40:09. | :40:13. | |
fair. I will take time to reflect at the weekend. I have beaten a | :40:14. | :40:20. | |
monster. There is not a heavyweight champion in the world right now that | :40:21. | :40:27. | |
has David Haye on their record. No one has beaten a man of the calibre | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
of David Haye. He is the bogeyman of the heavyweight division, though one | :40:33. | :40:41. | |
wanted to face him. Tony, you have mentioned your family, how affected | :40:42. | :40:53. | |
your family by all the talk? Do you regret any of the chat? It got so | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
nasty. I said no nasty words or any horrible, nasty things. I left that | :41:00. | :41:06. | |
to him. I told him a few home truths. I said when the going gets | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
tough he was going to spew it. I said, are you prepared for a walk? | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
All of the things I said came to fruition. I said he would tire, I | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
took his best and do you know what, I gave it back. He said it all in | :41:21. | :41:28. | |
the ring after the fight. He was not good enough. He did not expect what | :41:29. | :41:34. | |
I was going to bring. He looked at the video tapes of me and he | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
underestimated me like they all do. They see the fat guy and they think | :41:39. | :41:42. | |
they are going to walk right through and they are always wrong. Tony, | :41:43. | :41:47. | |
would you fight him again? I don't know. I just hope he gets healthy as | :41:48. | :41:52. | |
soon as possible. I am going to take some time at heel and recover and | :41:53. | :42:05. | |
spend time with my family. I am not sure about doing this any more. I | :42:06. | :42:07. | |
will be totally honest, I'm not sure my body can deal with it. I have far | :42:08. | :42:11. | |
exceeded what I set out to do in this business, in this game, I | :42:12. | :42:13. | |
really have. It will take something special to draw me back out. I'm | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
being totally honest now. Tony, it has been fantastic to talk to this | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
morning. Good luck with the school run, good luck with your recovery. | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Everyone who watched | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
and listened on Saturday, I cannot thank you enough. Tony, lovely to | :42:34. | :42:40. | |
talk to you. Take care. And thank you to Tracy who brought | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
on some water for you! He does sound exhausted and broken. | :42:47. | :42:53. | |
You would be. The build-up for that fight was horrible at times. They | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
have got to sell it. He was involved as much as David Haye in the billing | :42:59. | :43:01. | |
of the fight and most people thought it would not last as long as it did. | :43:02. | :43:06. | |
In a lot of ways it did live up to expectations because it could have | :43:07. | :43:09. | |
been over superfast. Interesting that he sent his kids away. And the | :43:10. | :43:15. | |
big decision about whether he will fight David Haye again. He sounds | :43:16. | :43:23. | |
weary. Thank you, Sally. Go and have a good cough! | :43:24. | :43:30. | |
Nine out of ten of us across the globe are breathing polluted air. | :43:31. | :43:35. | |
This week on breakfast we are taking an in-depth look about what we can | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
do about it. Today we are looking at pollution caused by cars keeping | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
their engines on while they are parked or waiting in traffic. It is | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
called idling. John Maguire is at a school in east London where they are | :43:49. | :43:54. | |
trying to tackle the issue. Good morning, Louise. We are with the | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
children from the school who have made posters to try and persuade | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
drivers to switch their engines. What they want drivers to do is... | :44:04. | :44:09. | |
Stop idling! It gets louder every time we do that! This is one of the | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
most polluted areas in the City of London and across the UK. It is a | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
real issue. We are outside the school gates. Traffic is starting to | :44:19. | :44:22. | |
build up. The children's message needs to be loud and clear because | :44:23. | :44:29. | |
they are amongst the most at risk groups. | :44:30. | :44:31. | |
What do you think those dark patches are? | :44:32. | :44:33. | |
From schools in Birmingham, to Port Talbot... | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
We are looking at where we will plant trees in the school to help | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
Many people have issues because of the things | :44:41. | :44:46. | |
There is a quiet revolution under way, and it sounds like this. | :44:47. | :44:51. | |
In the name of science, Will has agreed to be | :44:52. | :44:57. | |
Using highly sophisticated tech, we can analyse the pollution. | :44:58. | :45:06. | |
He will track pollution along his journey with his friends. | :45:07. | :45:13. | |
And now we have a professor from the University of Leeds | :45:14. | :45:15. | |
Normally when you are stuck in traffic, that is when the levels | :45:16. | :45:28. | |
in the cabin of a car can get quite high. | :45:29. | :45:31. | |
We have crossed some roads and you can see | :45:32. | :45:38. | |
They have got a good route to school. | :45:39. | :45:43. | |
At the school gates is where all the cars are parking and dropping | :45:44. | :45:50. | |
We can see lots of spikes at that end. | :45:51. | :45:53. | |
And that exposure to pollution over the route is mainly focused around | :45:54. | :46:00. | |
So, basically we are asking people to turn off their engine | :46:01. | :46:06. | |
It is yet another success for this anti-idling patrol. | :46:07. | :46:18. | |
These volunteers in Islington have been trained in what to say | :46:19. | :46:28. | |
to people to get them to turn off and to deal with some | :46:29. | :46:31. | |
The councils say this is about local people cleaning | :46:32. | :46:34. | |
Today it is about this street in this area trying | :46:35. | :46:37. | |
to reduce pollution levels for pupils at school. | :46:38. | :46:39. | |
So, just how much difference can switching off your engine make? | :46:40. | :46:42. | |
Testing in one location saw that by stopping idling, | :46:43. | :46:45. | |
The bigger message is that it helps people understand the impact | :46:46. | :46:51. | |
of small actions on the kind of larger problem of air quality. | :46:52. | :46:54. | |
I'm sorry to bother you, but your engine is running. | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
In the past six years, as he went to work on his way | :47:00. | :47:10. | |
to the theatre of London, actor Nigel Havers | :47:11. | :47:12. | |
They wonder who I am and have said some pretty choice things to me. | :47:13. | :47:17. | |
But generally speaking, people are aware and said, oh, | :47:18. | :47:25. | |
This is a drop in the ocean, admittedly, or a particle | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
in the air, if you liked, when compared to the global | :47:32. | :47:33. | |
But new research shows how changing habits and switching off engines | :47:34. | :47:37. | |
can make a difference in protecting our most | :47:38. | :47:39. | |
Here they are, our most precious resource. "Think Of some easy | :47:40. | :47:58. | |
solutions to stop pollution". I like this one as well, "Idling in line | :47:59. | :48:04. | |
should be a crime! Children have also been writing letters to merit | :48:05. | :48:14. | |
London Sadiq Khan. Dear Mr Khan, my name is velvet, I am one of the | :48:15. | :48:20. | |
unfortunate souls who have been ignored but it stops now. It is | :48:21. | :48:30. | |
mostly -- this pollution is mostly caused by fumes from idling. I | :48:31. | :48:37. | |
believe that officers should be present to make sure that if I'd | :48:38. | :48:41. | |
link takes place, a fine should be handed over to the driver. Tough | :48:42. | :48:50. | |
stuff! Ray. I'm quite sure there is no pollution consequence that is | :48:51. | :48:53. | |
worse than walking through a great Smoky missed completely outnumbered | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
by colossal machines excreting floods of gas. Are you? Is there | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
anything that exceeds this hairy hell? | :49:04. | :49:06. | |
-- is there anything that exceeds this airy hell? Impressive stuff, | :49:07. | :49:18. | |
Miss Baker. Definitely, they are year two and the year six children | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
who have been working really hard and writing letters to the mayor and | :49:23. | :49:27. | |
they would like things to change because of the pollution from | :49:28. | :49:34. | |
idling. We talked earlier about the white sheets showing pollution on | :49:35. | :49:40. | |
them. The year two children especially have been looking at the | :49:41. | :49:43. | |
pollution in rush hour and looking at the amount of traffic on the | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
roads during rush-hour and sometimes you can actually smell it or taste | :49:48. | :49:51. | |
it in the back of your throat. Are we talking one or two days a year? | :49:52. | :49:56. | |
It was just a normal day in February when we went out. There is quite | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
often if you days in the year when we can smell it. Thank you. A | :50:01. | :50:05. | |
headteacher here who was telling me that they receive a warning when the | :50:06. | :50:11. | |
pollution levels reach a very high level and at that point they would | :50:12. | :50:14. | |
keep the children indoors and stop them playing outside. The children | :50:15. | :50:18. | |
have been fantastic, they have spoken well and there message has | :50:19. | :50:25. | |
been very clear. They have one more message... Back to the studio! Give | :50:26. | :50:35. | |
us a wave. STUDIO | :50:36. | :50:39. | |
What a confident bunch of kids with their messages to the Mayor of | :50:40. | :50:46. | |
London, very impressive. Carol, you have a thought on the pollution as | :50:47. | :50:47. | |
well? Yes indeed. I'm no expert on air | :50:48. | :50:59. | |
quality but the weather can affect it at times, the high pressure can | :51:00. | :51:04. | |
act like a lead trapping the air pollution. When we have showers, you | :51:05. | :51:08. | |
find that the air is rising and finding the shower clouds so the | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
pollutants go higher up into the atmosphere. What we have got today | :51:13. | :51:15. | |
is a mixture of sunshine and showers and this is a beautiful picture from | :51:16. | :51:19. | |
County Down, sent in by one of our weather watchers. Another one here | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
from South Gloucestershire, a pretty dull start to the day at this stage | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
but look at this from West Yorkshire, lovely and sunny already. | :51:29. | :51:32. | |
Sonny too in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire. Sunshine and showers | :51:33. | :51:39. | |
sums it up. Also this area of low pressure producing some rain across | :51:40. | :51:42. | |
the South West England and the Channel Islands. Look at the isobars | :51:43. | :51:47. | |
around it, it's pretty windy, more across France where they are going | :51:48. | :51:52. | |
to have gales or severe gales today. Gusts of 119 mph and by about six | :51:53. | :51:56. | |
o'clock, that will be down across Italy. What we have, you can see | :51:57. | :52:02. | |
where we have had the showers across parts of central Scotland and | :52:03. | :52:05. | |
England but it is this big lump of rain that is heavy currently across | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
the Channel Islands. As we go through the day, it will clear the | :52:11. | :52:15. | |
south-west and later on it will clear Northern Ireland and also the | :52:16. | :52:20. | |
Channel Islands. We have got more rain coming in as well. Dry and | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
bright weather too with some sunshine to look forward to but | :52:25. | :52:28. | |
through the afternoon, the cloud continues to build across Northern | :52:29. | :52:31. | |
Ireland and we see some showers and hill snow. Also a weather front | :52:32. | :52:37. | |
plaguing the Northern Isles. Sunshine and showers sums it up | :52:38. | :52:43. | |
quite nicely for the rest of the country. North-east England you are | :52:44. | :52:48. | |
prone to see some of these showers. As is the way with showers, you | :52:49. | :52:56. | |
don't always catch one. As we drift across the southern counties, a lot | :52:57. | :52:58. | |
of dry and fine weather and sunshine, some sunny spells across | :52:59. | :53:02. | |
the south-west, still quite blustery. In the Wales you might see | :53:03. | :53:06. | |
the odd shower but for most it will actually be dried. Through this | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
evening and overnight, what you're going to find is that we have quite | :53:10. | :53:14. | |
a view showers around with the wind coming in every direction. It's | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
going to be a chilly night as well, chilly enough for some frost and | :53:19. | :53:24. | |
also the risk of ice. By the end of the night we have got another front | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
coming our way. Tomorrow we start off on a chilly note but a fine one | :53:30. | :53:33. | |
with some sunshine and then this rain edges in from the south-west, | :53:34. | :53:37. | |
pushing eastwards but it won't actually get over to the Easter | :53:38. | :53:40. | |
until later in the day. The cloud ahead of it will certainly build. | :53:41. | :53:48. | |
The weather charts are having another wee strop! | :53:49. | :53:53. | |
STUDIO Sorry about your charts, they are | :53:54. | :53:55. | |
upset! In the run up to this Wednesday's | :53:56. | :54:04. | |
Budget, here on Breakfast we're looking at how Britain's | :54:05. | :54:06. | |
economy is working for This morning we're | :54:07. | :54:09. | |
focusing on Millennials - Steph is just outside Aberdeen | :54:10. | :54:11. | |
with the young workforce What are they up to now, Steph? Look | :54:12. | :54:21. | |
at that for breakfast! It smells gorgeous here, they have been so | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
busy, making something like 1500 meals here today. These are some of | :54:26. | :54:31. | |
the guys who have been with me this morning. This is a business that | :54:32. | :54:36. | |
employs lots of young people, around a third of the staff here are under | :54:37. | :54:40. | |
30. I want you to come and meet Hayden, who I have been harassing | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
all morning! You've been working here three years and you're 19? Yes, | :54:44. | :54:51. | |
in August it will be three-year 's yeah. You're in the middle of an | :54:52. | :54:57. | |
apprenticeship? Is it going OK? It's going great. It's something I've | :54:58. | :55:02. | |
always wanted to do. For you, what are the kind of pressures, what are | :55:03. | :55:09. | |
you spending money on? I've got my card to pay for, rent for the flat. | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
It all tallies up, at the end of the day. What would help you, things | :55:14. | :55:20. | |
like your car insurance being cheaper and fuel? Yes, if insurance | :55:21. | :55:27. | |
could be cheaper, rent, but it is Aberdeen and you know how the market | :55:28. | :55:30. | |
is up in Aberdeen, it is extortionate. How is renting going? | :55:31. | :55:37. | |
You are two months in, are you managing to cope without your mum? | :55:38. | :55:43. | |
I'm managing to cope without her so far! He mentioned about housing | :55:44. | :55:49. | |
costs and that is something many young people are worried about | :55:50. | :55:52. | |
across the country and even getting onto the property ladder itself. We | :55:53. | :55:57. | |
went to meet for friends in London to see what their thoughts were on | :55:58. | :55:59. | |
it. Let us introduce the millennial 's. | :56:00. | :56:11. | |
Hi, my name is Abi, I'm 24 and I'm a freelancer. My name is Takyiwa, I | :56:12. | :56:21. | |
currently live with my parents and brother and sister. I live at home | :56:22. | :56:28. | |
with my parents and sister. My name is Toby, I'm currently renting with | :56:29. | :56:29. | |
four other people. You are finishing your education and | :56:30. | :56:42. | |
making a start to your career. You've been most affected by the | :56:43. | :56:45. | |
falling pay of recent years and you're struggling to get onto the | :56:46. | :56:47. | |
housing ladder and suffering high rents as a result. And so it is with | :56:48. | :56:55. | |
our millennial 's. Me and my sister currently share a room and we have | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
been sharing a room all our life. Your 24? Yes. It's a bit like, it's | :57:00. | :57:07. | |
time to go! It's just not going to happen. How does your mum feel about | :57:08. | :57:14. | |
it? Until I'm kicked out, I'm probably going to have to stay | :57:15. | :57:19. | |
there! None of the salaries come remotely close to the 6-figure | :57:20. | :57:22. | |
salaries required to just rent here. Tony has managed to move out of home | :57:23. | :57:27. | |
but only by moving out of the city. The aim for you is to own your own | :57:28. | :57:33. | |
home? I think I'm like a lot of people my age, I could probably get | :57:34. | :57:36. | |
a deposit eventually but it will take a long time. It's more concerns | :57:37. | :57:42. | |
about stability. Economic stability. That is the big thing for me. | :57:43. | :57:47. | |
Especially with Brexit as well. I want to see something coming out of | :57:48. | :57:49. | |
the government that is going to reassure me. So what do they want | :57:50. | :57:55. | |
from Wednesday's budget? House-building, economic security | :57:56. | :58:01. | |
and Brexit. How are they going to pay for it? Go after tax dodgers. | :58:02. | :58:08. | |
Support young people. Put young people first and make housing | :58:09. | :58:13. | |
affordable. So, Mr Hammond, if you're watching, our millennial 's | :58:14. | :58:18. | |
want housing, housing and housing. Add a new focus on a generation | :58:19. | :58:25. | |
that, largely, feels left out. With me now is Adam, who is from Shelter | :58:26. | :58:31. | |
Scotland. We're talking about the pressure on young people with | :58:32. | :58:33. | |
housing. What could the Chancellor do to help? I think the key thing is | :58:34. | :58:39. | |
invest in delivering genuinely affordable homes for everyone. We | :58:40. | :58:43. | |
know it can be done, it has been done in the past before and we know | :58:44. | :58:47. | |
the cost to young people of not having their own homes is putting | :58:48. | :58:50. | |
key parts of their lives on hold right now. Building more homes? | :58:51. | :59:01. | |
Absolutely, supporting landlords to build homes of a range of types | :59:02. | :59:07. | |
where people want to live. What would you say are the other issues | :59:08. | :59:13. | |
that young people face? We had Aidan talking about courage Shorrocks at | :59:14. | :59:17. | |
Reading. The cost of living and wages not being at that level | :59:18. | :59:21. | |
Douzable the cost of living. There's also the issue of intergenerational | :59:22. | :59:26. | |
fairness. We've seen a lot of spending on state pensions and | :59:27. | :59:30. | |
Philip Hammond is committed to the so-called triple lock which | :59:31. | :59:33. | |
guarantees the state pension at a pretty generous level and he said he | :59:34. | :59:37. | |
will guarantee it for the life of this Parliament, but I wonder | :59:38. | :59:40. | |
whether that needs to be rethought so that we make the budget there. If | :59:41. | :59:46. | |
you're taking money away from the pension end of things, what would | :59:47. | :59:51. | |
you do for young people? I think it would make it more fair in terms of | :59:52. | :59:55. | |
young people inevitably having a much smaller state pension in the | :59:56. | :59:58. | |
future, so I think they will be looking at those retiring today on a | :59:59. | :00:01. | |
pretty generous state pension and saying, why are we funding that when | :00:02. | :00:06. | |
we will perhaps to take a bigger cut in the future? I will be talking to | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
some pensioners about that soon. Stephen, just tell is a bit about | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
the macroeconomic picture because everybody wants something and | :00:17. | :00:17. | |
whether that money come from? The economy is in decent enough | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
shape. I think one of the things we will hear from the Chancellor | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
tomorrow is there is a huge amount of uncertainty about just what will | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
happen as we go through the process of leaving the European Union, and | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
there are a lot of people who are concerned that the growth of the | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
economy will slow down, the wages will not grow as fast. That is a big | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
cautionary note for the Chancellor. And in Scotland there is a different | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
deal in terms of budgets. What kind of deal to think -- difference does | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
that make? Scotland set the budget a few weeks ago and that included | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
positions about income tax. Scotland has a degree of autonomy but what | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Philip Hammond does on Wednesday is hugely important. He sets income tax | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
rates and decides what will happen with corporation tax and VAT. What | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
the government spends in the UK as a whole has knock-on effects for | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Scotland so it still matters here hugely. Thank you for your time this | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
morning. We are in the right place for Brexit. I have to finish my | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
stew. I have to say it smells delicious. We have all been staring | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
at it all morning watching it cooking and wondering when are we | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
going to get a bowl of this? See you later. Bring some in! When | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
it is that huge it does not look that good but I am sure it will | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
taste nice. Just some of the places you normally | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
associate with Rugby League. Well now you can add in Toronto | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
after the sport's first transatlantic team has made | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
a successful start to its debut The Toronto Wolfpack | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
is the brainchild of Eric Perez who joins us on the sofa this | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
morning but before we talk to him, Now let's talk to Eric Perez, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
the founder of Toronto Wolfpack. So how did this idea even come | :02:05. | :02:54. | |
about? Well, I was in Birmingham watching telly and I saw rugby | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
league. Blown away by it. I just thought, why is this sport not in | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
Canada so I decided to sail the seas of consequence and make it happen. | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
How long ago was that? 2010. Said that quickly you have put the team | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
together. It has been a whirlwind. Did anyone play rugby league in | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
Canada? No, I brought rugby League Two Canada. We started a national | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
team and started attracting 6000 7000 people a match. There was a | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
television show and that culminated in getting this professional team | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
started. What was it when you saw that in Birmingham that made you | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
think, I have to get a hold on this? It is the most Canadian game which | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
has never been in Canada. It has speed, finesse, hard-hitting, a | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
bitter fighting once in awhile. That is what we like in Canada! We like | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
action and skills. Is it taught in schools now as well? Yes, we are | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
getting it in schools. It is inspired from the top level down. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
That is how things work in North America. If you have a strong | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
professional game it inspires kids to get involved. Starting it in | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
Canada is one thing, then to bring a team over here and start playing in | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
domestic rugby and work towards Super League, that is completely | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
different? Yes, it is the first transatlantic professional team. It | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
is quite a heavy undertaking to say the least. Teams will be flying over | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
to play in Toronto. It is something new, something exciting and | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
different. We are looking forward to it. So when it is a home game the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
English teams have to play in Toronto? | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
That is right. What fun! But some other players have been saying it is | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
a long way to go and at the level you are playing at the moment most | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
of the players are part-time so they might have to miss out on work at? | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
In League 1, for sure. We are fully funding the operations will not cost | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
the club is a penny to come over. And a free trip to Canada for a | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
couple of days I think it is worth taking those couple of days off | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
work. What is the ambition here? The ambition is to get to the Super | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
League. The ambition is to walk out at Old Trafford, with the Toronto | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
team, take the silverware home to Toronto and then in five or ten | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
years have two or three more Canadian teams. You are incredibly | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
driven, you have a five or ten year plan to win Super League? | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Absolutely. I think we can do it. We have Brian Noble, the BBC's own | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Brian Noble as the director of rugby, we have Paul Rowley who was | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
the coach of the year, great coaching staff, fantastic players | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
stop. That player scored his first ever career hat-trick against | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Scotland this weekend so that is pretty good. I bet he's good at a | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
bit of biff? I would not want to cross in a dark alley, put it that. | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
Maybe we will have you back in a few years' time when you have won the | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Super League. I will bring the trophy! Lets get some news, travel | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
and weather. And Hello and welcome back. Thank you | :06:21. | :08:04. | |
for watching. Imagine being put on trial for | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
a serious crime you didn't commit. Well, that's what happened | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
to our next guest, He spent nearly two years | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
fighting to clear his name after he was wrongly accused | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
of offences against children. He's now calling for changes | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
to the way these cases are handled. I'm delighted to say he joins us now | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
in the studio. Obviously, we need a bit of background on this. When did | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
those allegations against you come out and how has it affected you over | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
the years? When you say allegations, first of all the allegation was that | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
after ADP lesson, I checked to see that this child who was 11 at the | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
time, I checked to see that he was dry inappropriately -- after a PE | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
lesson. That was the basis of it all. The very first thing I said | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
when I was arrested is I have never taught a single lesson of PE in my | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
career, secondly, I do not teach 11-year-olds. So in both counts I | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
put doubt in the mind presumably of the officers in charge. What I would | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
say is, I don't know why those two main facts were not checked before | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
my homes were raided. Once that happens, and my name was published, | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
in the media, radio, television, your life is never the same ever | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
again. Once the cat is out of the bag, you cannot grab hold of the cat | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
and stick it back in the bag. The cat is away and it will be free | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
forever. My name was put into the public arena and I can only suppose | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
hardly any investigative work had been done beforehand, because basic | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
checks would have told the arresting officers that there is serious doubt | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
about these allegations. And what then followed, I am shortening this, | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
it was nearly two years? 672 days on bail. And went to a jury. They went | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
out and came straight back in again. There was nothing to discuss. The | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
fact of the matter is during the course of the trial which I think | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
for anybody with an IQ above the day's temperature, would come across | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
as an absolute farce. But the person and his best friend who came forward | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
to give evidence, it was so ludicrous. It was ridiculous. What I | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
am saying is, look, just because someone is found not guilty in a | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
court of law does not mean to say they are not guilty. With that, we | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
have enormous problems, there is a whole industry of child abuse | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
happening as we speak. This is not an apology for child abusers. And I | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
think of course the police have to be absolutely thorough when | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
investigating any complaints. But if a jury goes out and come straight | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
back in again, then I think there should be some sort of mechanism | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
whereby the complainant's complaints I looked into. As far as I am | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
concerned, the person and his friend who lied about me have slumped back | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
with impunity... Because they had anonymity. No one knows their name. | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
They have not been arrested or questioned. I know they lied and I | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
don't know why something has not been done about it. The whole danger | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
about talking about this is of course there are many people who are | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
victims out there... I have just said that. Exactly. And they come | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
under a lot of pressure to report it and no one wants to put them off, do | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
they? But if you are telling the truth, I can tell you now, this is a | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
particular type of crime. Nobody who is guilty of child abuse, even if it | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
is historical has a hope in hell of getting away with it. The court | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
system is rigorous. I went through it. And if I was guilty of the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
allegations that were put at my door, there is absolutely no doubt I | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
would be found guilty. Have I been found not guilty because the jury | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
were not sure, I am not suggesting that just because someone complains | :12:19. | :12:31. | |
and the person they have complained about is found not guilty, that they | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
should then be investigated. What I'm saying is there are certain | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
cases, as was my own, where it is patent new lives. If someone has | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
been abused, you have nothing to worry about. I am not trying to push | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
you back in the shadows. What I am saying is people who lie about these | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
things are damaging the cases of those who have been genuinely | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
abused. Briefly, once those cases reach court they are public record, | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
there cannot be anonymity? There is anonymity for the person who accused | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
me, why can it not be anonymity for me? Once you found guilty then your | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
name is put out in the public arena just like Rolf Harris. I attended | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
his trial a few weeks ago at Southwark Crown Court. People came | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
forward after Rolf Harris had been found guilty. Just supposing I had | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
been called Mr Almagro A, then others would come forward if I was | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
found guilty. But I have to say once your house has been raided, and your | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
name is put into the public forum, your life is ruined. -- if my name | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
was Mr A. And my collateral damage in this? We are running out of time | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
but thank you for talking to us and his book is called Presumed Guilty. | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
We're both back tomorrow from six o'clock. | :13:48. | :13:51. |
