:00:38. > :00:41.A BBC investigation has found it failed to remove sexualised

:00:42. > :00:45.A senior MP says the findings cast grave doubts on the effectiveness

:00:46. > :00:51.Also this morning: Hundreds of millions of pounds of extra

:00:52. > :00:54.funding to set up new schools, but teaching unions say the money

:00:55. > :01:01.A British backpacker has been rescued by police in Australia

:01:02. > :01:03.after being held captive for two months.

:01:04. > :01:05.Tomorrow the Chancellor will unveil his last spring Budget.

:01:06. > :01:08.All this week on Breakfast, we are looking at what it means

:01:09. > :01:15.Today we are talking about Generation X, those born between

:01:16. > :01:18.1966 and 1980. I am at a sausage factory in North Yorkshire to talk

:01:19. > :01:20.to the people here about what they think about the economy.

:01:21. > :01:25.They are ten points clear at the top of the Premier League,

:01:26. > :01:32.And the pigeon patrol that is helping scientists fight air

:01:33. > :01:41.And Carol has joined us in the studio for the weather.

:01:42. > :01:48.Good morning. It is likely to be here although it is chilly outside

:01:49. > :01:53.if you are just stepping out. For many of us it will be a dry start

:01:54. > :01:56.and a sparkly one with a weather front coming in from the south-west

:01:57. > :01:58.introducing some rain later on. I will have more in 15 minutes.

:01:59. > :02:01.First, our main story: Facebook's procedures for vetting content

:02:02. > :02:03.on its pages have been strongly criticised,

:02:04. > :02:06.after a BBC investigation found it was failing to remove

:02:07. > :02:07.inappropriate and sexualised images of children.

:02:08. > :02:10.The chair of the commons media committee, Damian Collins,

:02:11. > :02:12.has said it casts grave doubts on the effectiveness

:02:13. > :02:21.Our correspondent Angus Crawford reports.

:02:22. > :02:30.The rules are simple. Facebook says it removes nudity or sexually

:02:31. > :02:34.suggestive content. But our investigation last year found

:02:35. > :02:40.paedophiles using secret groups to swap obscene images of children. We

:02:41. > :02:44.informed the police, and this man was sent to prison for four years.

:02:45. > :02:50.Facebook told us it had improved its systems, so we put that to the test.

:02:51. > :02:56.We still found sexualised pictures of children, and obscene comments

:02:57. > :03:02.from men. We reported 100 posts that we felt broke Facebook's own

:03:03. > :03:08.guidelines. Only 18 were taken down. 82 images stayed up. They didn't

:03:09. > :03:12.breach Facebook's community standards. I find it very

:03:13. > :03:16.disturbing. I find that content unacceptable. I am concerned that

:03:17. > :03:20.that has been brought to Facebook's attention, and some of those images

:03:21. > :03:26.have not been dealt with and addressed, and this report, this

:03:27. > :03:30.investigation, it casts great doubt on effectiveness of the measures

:03:31. > :03:35.Facebook has in place. Facebook asked us to send examples of what we

:03:36. > :03:39.had reported. So we did. The company then reported us to the police.

:03:40. > :03:55.Facebook issued a statement saying...

:03:56. > :04:03.But even now, groups with inappropriate images and comments

:04:04. > :04:05.about children remained on Facebook. Questions about how the company

:04:06. > :04:08.moderates content won't go away. We will be talking to a former

:04:09. > :04:11.Facebook executive at around An extra 320 million for new school

:04:12. > :04:20.places in England will be confirmed It will go towards the Government's

:04:21. > :04:24.existing free school programme, and could be used to

:04:25. > :04:27.support the opening of any Labour has criticised the move

:04:28. > :04:30.for failing to address funding pressures faced by schools,

:04:31. > :04:33.but Theresa May insists it is part of her plan to make a good education

:04:34. > :04:46.accessible to every child. Well, of course we have protected

:04:47. > :04:51.the court schools Budget that crucially what we are announcing his

:04:52. > :04:56.?500 million of investment in schools, ?320 million of which will

:04:57. > :05:00.be new schools. That will create around 70,000 new school places.

:05:01. > :05:03.What this is about is ensuring that people can know that their child

:05:04. > :05:05.will have a good school place, and all the opportunities that that

:05:06. > :05:06.provides for them. Our political correspondent

:05:07. > :05:18.Ellie Price joins us from It is interesting, isn't it, funding

:05:19. > :05:24.for new schools were other schools are already concerned about funding.

:05:25. > :05:27.That's right, ?320 million of this, as you have just heard, will go

:05:28. > :05:31.towards funding those new Free Schools, about 140 of them. So that

:05:32. > :05:35.is the majority of the money. Then the rest of it is money going

:05:36. > :05:38.towards refurbishing the old buildings of existing schools. If we

:05:39. > :05:43.start with that one first, there was a report out a few weeks ago that

:05:44. > :05:47.suggested that there was a bill of about ?6.5 billion that needed to be

:05:48. > :05:50.spent on bringing up the buildings of existing schools to a

:05:51. > :05:54.satisfactory standard. You would need to spend another ?7 billion on

:05:55. > :05:59.them to bring them up to a good standard. So if you think about

:06:00. > :06:02.that, ?216 million that is being talked about this morning is really

:06:03. > :06:05.small fry compared to that. Adding to that conversation is being had

:06:06. > :06:10.around the country with head teachers who are complaining about

:06:11. > :06:15.the ballooning costs of... Running costs, at a time when spending per

:06:16. > :06:18.pupil has been reduced, it would seem that unfortunately all this

:06:19. > :06:20.money seems to be rather small fry. Thank you very much.

:06:21. > :06:23.A British backpacker has been rescued by police officers

:06:24. > :06:26.in Australia, after allegedly being held against her will for more

:06:27. > :06:31.She is said to have been raped and assaulted.

:06:32. > :06:34.The woman was rescued by police when they pulled over the vehicle

:06:35. > :06:37.she was driving and noticed she had serious injuries to her face.

:06:38. > :06:41.Our correspondent Hywel Griffith is in Sydney.

:06:42. > :06:53.Yes, the police say the woman went through a catastrophic ordeal. She

:06:54. > :06:57.was actually pulled over because she had failed to pay for fuel survey

:06:58. > :07:01.had been warned by the petrol station. However, when they found

:07:02. > :07:06.her she was extremely distressed and had severe injuries to her face. In

:07:07. > :07:09.the back of the vehicle, they allege, 22-year-old man was hiding

:07:10. > :07:13.them. They say he had kept her against her will for the course of

:07:14. > :07:16.about nine weeks. At a press conference moments ago we heard from

:07:17. > :07:24.the Detective Inspector, Paul Hart. Police subsequently spoke at length

:07:25. > :07:30.with that female, who has been identified as a 22-year-old tourist

:07:31. > :07:35.from the UK. She advised that, over a period of weeks, she had been held

:07:36. > :07:39.against her will by the Mail person located in the vehicle. It was

:07:40. > :07:46.established that they had previously had a relationship, but at some

:07:47. > :07:49.point that had soured and he had basically deprived her of her

:07:50. > :07:51.liberty, committed a number of offences against her as they

:07:52. > :07:57.travelled around the state, culminating in their location in

:07:58. > :08:01.Mitchell. That Mail person has since been remanded in custody, and will

:08:02. > :08:08.appear in court in about a week's time in relation to those charges.

:08:09. > :08:13.We understand that the woman had been in Australia since 2015 but key

:08:14. > :08:17.to this, police allege the man had damaged her passport to try and make

:08:18. > :08:21.sure that she couldn't flee. He faces multiple charges of rape, as

:08:22. > :08:25.you heard, assault, Strang deletion, and will appear in court next week.

:08:26. > :08:29.We understand that she has received treatment for her injuries. She has

:08:30. > :08:32.been supported by the British high commission here and she has been

:08:33. > :08:36.able to speak to members of her family back in the UK. But as I

:08:37. > :08:40.said, police are saying that this is a catastrophic case which has really

:08:41. > :08:44.upset many people within the backpacking community, Queensland

:08:45. > :08:45.and Australia as a whole, are very popular destination for people

:08:46. > :08:46.travelling here. The Government is facing

:08:47. > :08:49.the prospect of another defeat in the House of Lords over

:08:50. > :08:52.the process of leaving the EU today. Peers are to vote on an amendment

:08:53. > :08:56.to the Brexit Bill which calls for Parliament to be given

:08:57. > :08:59.a meaningful vote on a final deal. The Prime Minister has said

:09:00. > :09:02.Parliament will have a vote, but only on a "take it

:09:03. > :09:05.or leave it" basis. Last week the Upper House voted

:09:06. > :09:08.to guarantee the rights of EU The former Conservative leader

:09:09. > :09:15.Lord Hague has urged the Prime Minister to seek

:09:16. > :09:17.an early general election. Writing in the Daily Telegraph,

:09:18. > :09:20.he said this would strengthen the Government's hand,

:09:21. > :09:23.and help the UK secure a better deal Theresa May has repeatedly ruled out

:09:24. > :09:28.going to the country before the next New figures show police forces

:09:29. > :09:35.in England and Wales received one call every 90 seconds

:09:36. > :09:38.about a missing person last year. That is an increase of 15%

:09:39. > :09:40.on the previous year. Police chiefs believe the ageing

:09:41. > :09:43.population could be one reason Margaret Cooper is still searching

:09:44. > :10:01.for her son, Steven, nine years on, after he disappeared

:10:02. > :10:05.from his home in Huddersfield. He was last seen in Scotland,

:10:06. > :10:08.but despite police searches, he has

:10:09. > :10:13.never been found. That's the worst thing,

:10:14. > :10:16.is not knowing. If you've got a body,

:10:17. > :10:18.because he's died, you can have a grave or whatever,

:10:19. > :10:22.and you can put flowers When you've no idea

:10:23. > :10:29.what's happened to them, On average last year,

:10:30. > :10:39.370 people went missing every day, with police forces receiving

:10:40. > :10:41.over 300,000 calls, The majority forces

:10:42. > :10:45.say they are dealing I think the general public are more

:10:46. > :10:50.aware around people gone missing. I think our practices have improved,

:10:51. > :10:53.which again will account for a rise in the numbers that

:10:54. > :10:56.we are recording. There is not one reason

:10:57. > :10:58.why people go missing, Where it's an adult

:10:59. > :11:02.that's gone missing, it can be a sign of mental health

:11:03. > :11:04.issues, of relationship Where it's a child or a young

:11:05. > :11:11.person, it's often a sign that there's something

:11:12. > :11:15.wrong in the home. Whatever the cause,

:11:16. > :11:19.for those left behind, there are only memories

:11:20. > :11:21.to cling to, and questions A Conservative backbencher

:11:22. > :11:25.is attempting to reverse Government plans to end the Dubs scheme,

:11:26. > :11:28.under which unaccompanied migrant children who don't have relatives

:11:29. > :11:31.in the UK are given refuge here. The MP Heidi Allen is tabling

:11:32. > :11:34.an amendment to legislation going through the House

:11:35. > :11:36.of Commons today. Last month the Government announced

:11:37. > :11:39.that it was limiting the scheme A card which has been sent

:11:40. > :11:47.by a father and daughter to each other on their birthdays

:11:48. > :11:50.for the past 33 years has gone Claire Fuller from Winchester has

:11:51. > :11:53.been exchanging the card with her 78-year-old father,

:11:54. > :11:56.Stephen, after she first sent it The card was last posted

:11:57. > :12:12.in Oxfordshire on 10 February. You would think it would be there by

:12:13. > :12:18.now, wouldn't you? Come on, rack first viewers. We can track this

:12:19. > :12:24.down. -- Breakfast viewers. It is probably still in the envelope. That

:12:25. > :12:30.is very true. I'm sorry, with the logic and everything. Up until that

:12:31. > :12:36.moment it was a brilliant plan. I was thinking maybe a postcard, but

:12:37. > :12:43.obviously not. Let's find it anyway! Motivation for the nation. Carol is

:12:44. > :12:54.with us in the CBO, and Jessica with the sport. -- in the studio. And

:12:55. > :12:55.Chelsea are doing very well, flying high in the Premier league.

:12:56. > :12:58.Chelsea continue their march towards the Premier League title.

:12:59. > :13:01.They are now ten points clear at the top of the table,

:13:02. > :13:05.after beating West Ham 2-1 thanks to goals from Eden Hazard and Diego

:13:06. > :13:10.Manuel Lanzini got a consolation goal for the home side

:13:11. > :13:12.Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has dismissed reports

:13:13. > :13:14.of a training-ground row between Alexis Sanchez

:13:15. > :13:19.Arsenal tonight have the daunting task of overturning a first leg 5-1

:13:20. > :13:21.deficit to Bayern Munich, if they are to progress

:13:22. > :13:28.to the Champions League quarter-finals.

:13:29. > :13:30.Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Bournemouth's Tyrone

:13:31. > :13:33.Mings have been charged by the FA with violent conduct.

:13:34. > :13:36.Mings appeared to stamp on the head of the United forward,

:13:37. > :13:39.before the striker caught the defender with an elbow

:13:40. > :13:49.The pair have until this evening to respond to the charges.

:13:50. > :13:52.And the England women's cricket team will make history when they play

:13:53. > :13:54.the first-ever day-night Ashes Test against Australia in November.

:13:55. > :14:06.The match will be played in Sydney, starting on 9 November.

:14:07. > :14:13.We will have the papers from you as well in a minute. On that, I wanted

:14:14. > :14:23.to know, I have never spoken to you about this, pineapple on a pizza,

:14:24. > :14:29.yes or no? No. Pineapple? Definitely. We will discuss it in

:14:30. > :14:34.our paper review in a few minutes' time, just a little tease for you

:14:35. > :14:41.there. In the meantime, while we wait for that, Carol is here.

:14:42. > :14:51.The temperatures are at freezing or even plus four. Widespread frost. A

:14:52. > :14:56.largely dry start start to the day. It won't stay that way through the

:14:57. > :15:04.day. A clump of fronts from the Atlantic bringing cloud and rain to

:15:05. > :15:13.start with. Later on, heavy rain. Frost and rain in the winds and some

:15:14. > :15:19.cloud around. Still some rain in the Northern Isles. Steady in

:15:20. > :15:29.Aberdeenshire. It will go away from there Ahead to the Northern Isles.

:15:30. > :15:34.South, a lot of loose guys. -- blue skies. With showers, hit and miss.

:15:35. > :15:38.The London area, cloud producing drizzly conditions first thing. The

:15:39. > :15:45.south-west, at this stage, largely dry. However, as we go through the

:15:46. > :15:49.day, here come the fronts introducing some lighter rain at

:15:50. > :15:53.this stage and drizzle and low cloud associated with it. You will find

:15:54. > :15:58.the cloud will build, spoiling earlier sunshine. For many of us,

:15:59. > :16:04.the temperatures will die out. Seven - 11. Through the course of the

:16:05. > :16:08.evening and overnight, that weather front coming in from the south-west

:16:09. > :16:15.will turn more heavy and the rain move towards eastern areas. Again,

:16:16. > :16:19.windy conditions. Transience know that will quickly turn back into

:16:20. > :16:26.rain to be the first front moves into the North Sea. -- transient

:16:27. > :16:29.snow. Murky in the southern counties. Tomorrow, starting with

:16:30. > :16:36.rain and clad in the south. A blustery day. Clearer skies and

:16:37. > :16:42.sunshine. Still quite breezy in major. A lot of low cloud associated

:16:43. > :16:47.with this weather front. Mild. 14 degrees. Not pleasant because of

:16:48. > :16:53.other elements. As we go further north, in the sunshine, 7- 12 will

:16:54. > :16:58.look rather nice. This mild theme does continue as we head on into the

:16:59. > :17:03.weekend. Then it turns colder and then it turns more mild. Oh my

:17:04. > :17:11.goodness. Very topsy-turvy. As promised, the front pages. The

:17:12. > :17:18.Times. Leading on the story of Donald Trump hitting out at the FBI

:17:19. > :17:22.in the Obama wiretap row. Barack Obama leaving the national Gallery

:17:23. > :17:30.of art in Washington. A little wave to his public. The latest Harry

:17:31. > :17:41.Potter programme in the theatre. Wheel it sweep the board in the 2017

:17:42. > :17:46.Oliviers? And Theresa May could pave the way for a new generation of

:17:47. > :17:53.grammar schools as the council uses the budget to push on with a

:17:54. > :17:57.controversial policy seen as a priority for the Prime Minister. And

:17:58. > :18:03.most of the papers have picked up on the grammar school side of it but

:18:04. > :18:08.you can also turn a free school into any sort of school you want to. And

:18:09. > :18:16.The Express. Blood-pressure breakthrough. They can treat

:18:17. > :18:23.millions of. And Nurse Gilbert. I was watching it last night. It was

:18:24. > :18:30.so good. Eight happy ever after? I hope so. --A. I worry about these

:18:31. > :18:40.things. They are talking about the school story here. The Mirror. Paul

:18:41. > :18:47.will tie the knot with his boyfriend. And the fact that Chelsea

:18:48. > :18:56.are steamrolling ahead in the Premier League. And the Times are

:18:57. > :19:00.saying that David of Arsenal, David Ospina, maybe leaving the club. I

:19:01. > :19:05.told you about the row with Alexis Sanchez and Arsene Wenger. Alexis

:19:06. > :19:10.Sanchez is apparently not very popular with the squad. Will he go?

:19:11. > :19:16.And Mesut Ozil has not signed a contract yet. And now Ospina is

:19:17. > :19:22.possibly on his way out as well. Troubling times for Arsenal. And

:19:23. > :19:28.Arsene Wenger, the fact that the manager may not be staying.

:19:29. > :19:33.Troubling times. I am sure Arsenal fans are quite worried. I wonder how

:19:34. > :19:39.it will play at. A massive match tonight. A massive match against

:19:40. > :19:44.Bayern Munich. Weirder things have happened. I was talking about

:19:45. > :19:50.pineapple. Most people are angry about pineapple on pizza. We are not

:19:51. > :19:58.worried about it. I am not. Some people get annoyed. 52% of people

:19:59. > :20:03.according to this YouGov poll enjoyed it. That is higher than

:20:04. > :20:10.spinach and sweetcorn. You would not expect that. What is your view? I

:20:11. > :20:18.put an apple on everything. -- pineapple. I love it. I am a big

:20:19. > :20:22.supporter. So, there you go. There you go, Two in, one out. Thank you

:20:23. > :20:30.very much, Jessica, see you later. It's the second day

:20:31. > :20:33.of our budget road trip. Yesterday, we looked

:20:34. > :20:34.at what millennials, those born in the 80s

:20:35. > :20:37.and 90s, want to hear Today, we're taking a look

:20:38. > :20:41.at what Generation X, those born between 1966

:20:42. > :20:43.and 1980, want to see. Steph's at a family run

:20:44. > :20:55.business in North Yorkshire Look at that. A sea of hairnets. I

:20:56. > :20:59.love a hairnet, let me tell you. I am at a sausage factory. Many

:21:00. > :21:06.sausages will be running off of this. They make 300,000 of them a

:21:07. > :21:09.day! You will see these in many supermarkets around the country and

:21:10. > :21:14.they are literally just getting set up for the day. I am definitely in

:21:15. > :21:18.the way for this one. We are here to talk about the economy and the

:21:19. > :21:23.budget coming up in the next couple of days. As you said, one of the big

:21:24. > :21:28.areas we are focusing on is how it affects different generations.

:21:29. > :21:35.Breakfast's John Maguire went to meet some Gen X'ers to get there and

:21:36. > :21:48.get their opinions. St David's Day, the first day of

:21:49. > :21:54.spring. We are in Pontypool to find out how people are coping. I love my

:21:55. > :22:00.job. I see a lot of people that are managing. I am barely managing. And

:22:01. > :22:04.yet I am working. I think that is very, very unfair. They are trying

:22:23. > :22:30.Who are Generation X? Let us take a spin about the BBC Breakfast table

:22:31. > :22:35.to find out. Generation X born between 1970 and 1980 are at the

:22:36. > :22:39.peak of their careers and are bringing up children. They are

:22:40. > :22:42.feeling the effects of large cuts to welfare. They have fallen between

:22:43. > :22:47.the cracks when it comes to pension saving. We are talking to them now.

:22:48. > :22:55.We are just about managing with the budget. Just about managing. As you

:22:56. > :23:05.said, both of you and your wife work. My wife is a social worker. I

:23:06. > :23:12.work part time just to get by. We save money for childcare. Gareth

:23:13. > :23:17.hopes the budget will help. Increase tax credits. Would that help you?

:23:18. > :23:23.Yes. And as for pensions? My parents are lucky enough to be retired for

:23:24. > :23:27.ten years. They have gone all over the world. My father has a

:23:28. > :23:32.retirement pension. I look at myself, and I think I will not be

:23:33. > :23:36.able to do that. I really don't do the I think they were the lucky

:23:37. > :23:44.generation. At the top of Wendy's budget wish list is help for the

:23:45. > :23:48.next generations. Help the cost of universities for our children. As

:24:19. > :24:21.want value. There is a lot of competition in the food business is

:24:22. > :24:26.well. It is not that straightforward. What can Philip

:24:45. > :24:48.70s, 80s, and 90s, it seems like a completely different life. What can

:24:49. > :24:53.the budget provide for their future? John Maguire, BBC News, Pontypool.

:24:54. > :24:58.We will talk about the issues they were talking about there throughout

:24:59. > :25:03.the programme. Many experts coming to talk about that topic will show

:25:04. > :25:08.you how they make sausages because it is fascinating. This is the

:25:09. > :25:13.chicken Italia. And pork sausages over there about to go into the

:25:14. > :25:18.mixer. And over here, you can see that they zip along. Typical. Every

:25:19. > :25:22.time they come to me it stops again. It will not be long. I will

:25:23. > :25:27.definitely show you all of the sausages. The girls are here and

:25:28. > :25:31.they are packing it into the boxes. There you go. The first few are

:25:32. > :25:37.coming through, obviously. They will get taken off. It is really

:25:38. > :25:42.fascinating to see, isn't it? More from me a little bit later on. Thank

:25:43. > :25:51.you. I am speechless. I don't know what to say. More on that later.

:25:52. > :26:06.Interesting. When we go outside on broadcast businesses, it is almost

:26:07. > :26:07.always transfixing. And hairnets at dawn.

:26:08. > :26:13.Can pigeons help in the battle

:26:14. > :26:17.We'll show how the tiny technology being strapped on to birds

:26:18. > :26:19.could help us see how toxic the air is.

:26:20. > :26:25.We don't have a pigeon. But we kind of do. This is a plastic pigeon.

:26:26. > :26:32.This is what helps to read the data. The person we have coming on later,

:26:33. > :26:41.his wife makes these, and her name is Cat. So she is quite literally a

:26:42. > :26:46.cat among the pigeons. This pigeon needs a name. Every pigeon needs a

:26:47. > :26:48.name. I am nervous about this topic send something ridiculous to ask.

:40:05. > :40:06.aggression and problems with speech were common.

:40:07. > :40:10.Joining us now is Saida Salam from Save the Children.

:40:11. > :40:20.Good morning to you. An amazing and battling statistic, 5.8 million

:40:21. > :40:24.children in need of aid in Syria, about 2.5 million children at risk

:40:25. > :40:28.of developing a mental health disorder and also a lot of talk in

:40:29. > :40:32.this report about toxic stress, basically we have explained exactly

:40:33. > :40:36.what that is and how that affects children particularly. Absolutely,

:40:37. > :40:39.so as you mention this is one of the largest and most competence of

:40:40. > :40:43.studies into the state of mental health that children are

:40:44. > :40:46.experiencing inside Syria and what we have seen is nearly 3 million

:40:47. > :40:49.children have grown up knowing nothing but this very bloody war and

:40:50. > :40:52.they have suffered atrocities that no child should have to face. They

:40:53. > :40:57.have been tortured, shot at, targeted, many have seen their loved

:40:58. > :40:59.ones killed in front of them, and what we're finding is this

:41:00. > :41:03.protracted exposure to this level of bloody mess and this level of

:41:04. > :41:06.conflict, coupled with the deprivation children are facing in

:41:07. > :41:10.terms of their basic needs like food and water is leading to this

:41:11. > :41:13.condition called toxic stress which many children are now experiencing.

:41:14. > :41:19.We spoke earlier about the symptoms that manifests itself with, so 70%

:41:20. > :41:22.of children we spoke to reported that children were frequently

:41:23. > :41:26.bedwetting and 48% talked about children experiencing speech

:41:27. > :41:29.impediments. I think what is most heartbreaking is to hear the

:41:30. > :41:32.experiences of toxic stress from the children themselves so we have

:41:33. > :41:35.spoken to children, had conversations with five-year-old

:41:36. > :41:39.children, where a gust of wind lowing a door shut makes them

:41:40. > :41:43.scream, where a five-year-old keeps shouting repeatedly I hate the

:41:44. > :41:47.aeroplanes, they killed my father, louder and louder. And children talk

:41:48. > :41:52.about fear, they talk about the plane near their homes. They talk

:41:53. > :41:55.about fear going to school. And that is really distressing because

:41:56. > :41:59.schools should be safe havens and places of sanctuary for children. In

:42:00. > :42:03.Syria what has happened is every day on average our school has been

:42:04. > :42:08.targeted twice a day since the start of the conflict. These are not safe

:42:09. > :42:12.places any more, for kids. But what is really distressing as they are

:42:13. > :42:15.scared to go to school but they are also really distraught about their

:42:16. > :42:18.future without an education. This is one of the most telling things about

:42:19. > :42:21.the report is that children are experiencing this toxic stress but

:42:22. > :42:25.most of the children we are speaking to a still resilient, they have

:42:26. > :42:30.dreams, they want to go on and become doctors and nurses. They do

:42:31. > :42:33.want a childhood, they do want an education, which is good news.

:42:34. > :42:38.Given, and it is quite understandable, how they feel, given

:42:39. > :42:42.that the situation they are in now, how can you make it better? Can it

:42:43. > :42:46.be a positive outcome for them, from a mental health point of view?

:42:47. > :42:50.Absolutely, so the number one thing we need is for the cause of this

:42:51. > :42:54.toxic stress the end, which is the violent and we need to put all the

:42:55. > :42:59.pressure began on the parties to the conflict and the violence, and the

:43:00. > :43:03.UN member states to uphold their own obligations. We don't need to wait

:43:04. > :43:07.for that solution to meet this human need. So we have been operating with

:43:08. > :43:12.our partners inside Syria since 2013, reaching 1.5 million children

:43:13. > :43:15.with ASIC needs, food, water, medicine, but also really basic

:43:16. > :43:21.psychological first aid which can involve really simple things like

:43:22. > :43:25.drawing, art therapy, training teachers, parents, caregivers

:43:26. > :43:29.themselves. And safe places to play. Safe places to play, and we have to

:43:30. > :43:32.be quite inventive they are so teachers have started running

:43:33. > :43:36.schools underground so that they are able to avoid the bombings. We have

:43:37. > :43:40.had to move people around, we have had to convert homes and mosques so

:43:41. > :43:45.that we can create these kind of safe play areas for children. But

:43:46. > :43:49.that is an absolute lifeline and one of the things we need now at Save

:43:50. > :43:53.the Children is to scale up the work, because it is not too late and

:43:54. > :43:57.we can reverse the damage done by this toxic stress, which can go on

:43:58. > :44:01.the adult hood, but we need more funding and we need to scale up. One

:44:02. > :44:05.of the problems is our funding cycle is a very short term, four the six

:44:06. > :44:07.months are just as the child is starting to talk about their

:44:08. > :44:09.distress and make progress, the programme has to close and that

:44:10. > :44:13.lifeline for a child is ended. You're watching

:46:15. > :46:18.Temperature-wise, not in bad shape. Only five in the Northern Isles to

:46:19. > :46:24.be cold. Seven, eight, nine, up to 11. The afternoon and the evening

:46:25. > :46:27.and overnight, although it will feel cold under the band of rain, through

:46:28. > :46:32.the overnight period, the temperatures in the south-western

:46:33. > :46:37.parts of Wales will actually go up. Rain will continue to move steadily

:46:38. > :46:40.across the British Isles. Transient snow in the hills of Scotland. That

:46:41. > :46:44.is the first weather front going through. This is the second one in

:46:45. > :46:49.the south. Quite a cloudy and murky night in southern areas leading us

:46:50. > :46:53.into a cloudy and murky start to the day tomorrow. A lot of cloud and

:46:54. > :46:58.rain. At times, the rain will be heavy. Mostly it will not. Moving

:46:59. > :47:05.north, that band of rain, although it will be a windy day, sunshine in

:47:06. > :47:10.double figures. The Northern Isles, ten, 11 for most. But 14 towards the

:47:11. > :47:15.south. That is amidst the cloud and murk. Wednesday into Thursday, well,

:47:16. > :47:20.Wednesday you will see this weather front clear the south. Adhered comes

:47:21. > :47:28.into Thursday, look how it is coming back. So, that meant to start the

:47:29. > :47:33.day try and find. -- as it comes. Slowly moving north. Ahead of this

:47:34. > :47:36.will be some cloud to be the central swathe of the UK once again sees

:47:37. > :47:44.some sunshine to the temperatures are not too bad, actually. 14

:47:45. > :47:48.degrees. That is pretty darned good. Not only is it lovely to see you in

:47:49. > :48:01.the studio, you have brought in chocolate. I hoovered up a bit on

:48:02. > :48:03.the way to the studio, but I left you some. I bet you are just saying

:48:04. > :48:04.that. Thank you. It's the second day of our budget

:48:05. > :48:07.roadshow today, and this week, Steph's out on the road speaking

:48:08. > :48:10.to different generations We are calling it a generation game.

:48:11. > :48:18.Is that why I have this coin? Yesterday, it was the millennials,

:48:19. > :48:21.and today, it's the turn of those We've sent Steph out to a family-run

:48:22. > :48:26.business in North Yorkshire, which employs many

:48:27. > :48:31.from Generation X. I think it is quite clear what these

:48:32. > :48:38.specialised in. Good morning, Steph. Good morning. It is a family run

:48:39. > :48:46.business. Every time we go live the sausage stopped coming out. We will

:48:47. > :48:50.definitely see some soon. They are packing them up and sending them to

:48:51. > :48:56.the supermarket. They make something like 300,000 sausages every single

:48:57. > :49:06.day. There you go. Lots of different flavours. This one is chicken

:49:07. > :49:09.Italia, with sundried tomatoes and the like. Tell us about your

:49:10. > :49:13.business. It is expanding and going well. Yes. We launched in April,

:49:14. > :49:19.2013. We are the third fastest growing company in the UK. We are

:49:20. > :49:25.creating further flavours next year. It is a good year. Good to here. You

:49:26. > :49:34.are part of Generation X which is what we are focusing on today. You

:49:35. > :49:43.have the budget coming up and a lot of uncertainty. What would make a

:49:44. > :49:46.difference? Breaks that allow us to keep investing in people. People are

:49:47. > :49:51.the most important thing. More training for companies like ours to

:49:52. > :49:55.allow investment to continue. As a family man, this is a family

:49:56. > :50:04.business, what would help you? What are the precious in your personal

:50:05. > :50:09.life? Well, we employ a lot of younger people. I know it is hard to

:50:10. > :50:13.get on the mortgage ladder and start buying a property. Anything that

:50:14. > :50:17.helps them do that earlier, maybe raising the tax threshold for young

:50:18. > :50:21.people, allow them some help to get on that later, that would be

:50:22. > :50:26.important for me. All of this costs money. It is a sacrifice. Are there

:50:27. > :50:30.any areas you think we should spend less on to help in the areas you

:50:31. > :50:38.would like? Consecutive governments have really sort of, not, well, you

:50:39. > :50:45.know, they have allowed private companies like ours to help. But

:50:46. > :50:49.wasting things in the public sector are a bugbear of ours. They always

:50:50. > :50:55.come to the private industry to find that gap but it comes down to

:50:56. > :51:03.business to try to help the mistakes of successive governments. -- fund.

:51:04. > :51:08.We also have a taxation lawyer. We were just talking about the

:51:09. > :51:15.pressures on Generation X. Andrew is a businessman and has a family life.

:51:16. > :51:20.What could be Chancellor do to help Generation X? At the moment, what we

:51:21. > :51:24.are doing is changing some of the salary sacrificing arrangements.

:51:25. > :51:28.Previously, if you talk some of your salary in the form of an effort,

:51:29. > :51:34.there were tax savings for the employer and employee. -- form of

:51:35. > :51:38.benefits. They are restricting that, but giving the benefit for employer

:51:39. > :51:43.related childcare. If you have to pay for childcare, you still get

:51:44. > :51:47.that benefit. They are also keeping it for pension contributions as

:51:48. > :51:54.well. And for the cycle to work scheme as well. That is good. Also,

:51:55. > :51:58.you have the lifetime ISA allowance which is basically designed to help

:51:59. > :52:03.people get on the property ladder. If you were under 40 and invest in

:52:04. > :52:08.one of these ISAs or your parents do on your behalf, the government will

:52:09. > :52:12.contribute 35%. We would like to see an increase in that in the budget so

:52:13. > :52:16.people can save more to enable their children to get a the housing

:52:17. > :52:20.ladder. You have to stick with us. Later we will talk about them other

:52:21. > :52:24.things we can expect as well. For now, let me show you this. It is

:52:25. > :52:29.interesting watching this. It fascinates me. Look at these

:52:30. > :52:32.sausages. I will show you the other line as but I will leave you with

:52:33. > :52:39.the chicken Italia this morning. Thank you very much, Steph. They are

:52:40. > :52:44.so busy. Look at them! Working so hard. A lot of sausages are quite a

:52:45. > :52:45.lot of breakfast there. When you think of reducing air

:52:46. > :52:48.pollution, you probably think of electric cars and energy

:52:49. > :52:50.efficient light bulbs, but academics at Birmingham

:52:51. > :53:01.University believe pigeons They are not exactly like that

:53:02. > :53:03.pigeon. That is a stunt pigeon. We have a reason for having that

:53:04. > :53:05.pigeon, and you will name it later. "City Flocks" is a new project

:53:06. > :53:08.which sends pigeons with sensors strapped to their backs off

:53:09. > :53:11.into the sky to record more Breakfast's Graham Satchell went

:53:12. > :53:28.to watch their maiden flight. Patent pidgins help us in the battle

:53:29. > :53:33.against air pollution? -- can pigeons. It sounds far-fetched, but

:53:34. > :53:37.academics at Birmingham university are convinced it can. People give

:53:38. > :53:42.you the look like you are giving me. It is sort of... Is this for real?

:53:43. > :53:46.Is this actually going to work as a we have a superfast temperature

:53:47. > :53:56.sensor... This climate scientist will attach these tiny sensor packs

:53:57. > :53:59.to the backs of pigeons. If we know the temperature is above the

:54:00. > :54:05.rooftops, we can test the levels of urban pollution. Time for the test

:54:06. > :54:10.flight. Fitting the sensors is a delicate operation. Hello, my little

:54:11. > :54:16.friend. They are tiny, just 5% of the pigeon's weight, to protect the

:54:17. > :54:20.welfare of the birds. It has a tiny camera to record the flight. Much is

:54:21. > :54:28.resting on the next few minutes I feel nervous. This is the first time

:54:29. > :54:32.we have done this. It is the of many hours of work to get to this stage.

:54:33. > :54:39.I think they will just take off and find their way home. It is the

:54:40. > :54:45.moment of truth. They looked happy enough. They looked like pidgins

:54:46. > :54:51.flying to meet. Did they do you? They will fly just over a mile. This

:54:52. > :54:56.is the disoriented view from the pigeon cam. What is it scientists

:54:57. > :54:59.are trying to discover? They already know that nitrous oxide, the

:55:00. > :55:03.pollution that comes out of diesel engines, rises with the heat coming

:55:04. > :55:09.from roads to rooftop level. But what about the pollution next? Where

:55:10. > :55:14.does it go? To model it, they need accurate data in this climate. But

:55:15. > :55:21.how do you get the data? Birds fly everywhere. They could carry our

:55:22. > :55:24.sensors. If they could be tiny and accurate enough, we could start to

:55:25. > :55:29.understand the dispersion of air pollution around the city. Just six

:55:30. > :55:36.minutes after taking off, the pigeons are back. Oh, really and.

:55:37. > :55:42.There is an anxious wait as it is retrieved. -- brilliant. The light

:55:43. > :55:47.is still flashing. That is a good sign. This is what the data shows

:55:48. > :55:52.that be the routes taken by the pigeons and the data above the

:55:53. > :55:56.rooftops. That is crucial. It will show how it changes across big

:55:57. > :56:00.cities. It will be used by planners, he says, to see where we should

:56:01. > :56:06.build hospitals and schools. It could give much more accurate street

:56:07. > :56:15.by street air pollution forecasts. Number 80, that is his name. It is

:56:16. > :56:23.not a particularly heroic in an. But Pigeon Number 80, we salute you, and

:56:24. > :56:24.your work towards a better air quality.

:56:25. > :56:28.Let's have a look at how the sensor works with our own pigeon

:56:29. > :56:36.So much information on that. And in less serious news, thank you for all

:56:37. > :56:42.of the names for the lovely studio pigeon. I think we should save them

:56:43. > :56:50.for later. What do you think? Could you please stop sending in Pigeon

:56:51. > :56:50.McPigeon Face? That is my only request. I

:56:51. > :00:11.But we are looking at quite a lot of low cloud and some spells

:00:12. > :00:15.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London Newsroom

:00:16. > :00:21.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

:00:22. > :00:24.A BBC investigation has found it failed to remove sexualised

:00:25. > :00:30.A senior MP says the findings cast grave doubts on the effectiveness

:00:31. > :00:50.Also this morning: Hundreds of millions of pounds of extra

:00:51. > :00:53.funding to set up new schools, but teaching unions say the money

:00:54. > :00:58.A British backpacker has been rescued by police in Australia,

:00:59. > :01:06.after being held captive for two months.

:01:07. > :01:16.He had basically deprived her of her liberty, admitted a number of

:01:17. > :01:17.offences against her as they travelled around the state,

:01:18. > :01:20.culminating in her location. Tomorrow the Chancellor

:01:21. > :01:23.will unveil his last spring Budget. All this week on Breakfast,

:01:24. > :01:31.we are looking at what it means Today we are looking at Generation

:01:32. > :01:35.X, those born between 1966 and 1980. I am at a sausage factory in North

:01:36. > :01:37.Yorkshire to find out what the Generation X workers here think

:01:38. > :01:38.about the economy. They are ten points clear at the top

:01:39. > :01:43.of the Premier League, And the pigeon patrol

:01:44. > :01:47.that is helping scientists fight air And Carol has joined us

:01:48. > :02:04.in the studio for the weather. Good morning. Good morning, it is

:02:05. > :02:08.lovely to be here. Chilly Outside In Salford, the temperature currently

:02:09. > :02:14.three Celsius. So pretty nippy and cold across many parts of the UK.

:02:15. > :02:17.Temperatures hovering around freezing two plus four. A fair bit

:02:18. > :02:21.of sunshine, some frost but rain coming in from the south-west as

:02:22. > :02:23.well. I will have more in 15 minutes.

:02:24. > :02:26.First, our main story: Facebook's procedures for vetting content

:02:27. > :02:28.on its pages have been strongly criticised,

:02:29. > :02:31.after a BBC investigation found it was failing to remove

:02:32. > :02:33.inappropriate and sexualised images of children.

:02:34. > :02:35.The chair of the Commons Media Committee, Damian Collins,

:02:36. > :02:37.has said it casts grave doubts on the effectiveness

:02:38. > :02:46.Our correspondent Angus Crawford reports.

:02:47. > :02:50.Facebook says it removes nudity or sexually suggestive content.

:02:51. > :02:53.But our investigation last year found paedophiles using secret

:02:54. > :02:59.groups to swap obscene images of children.

:03:00. > :03:02.We informed the police, and this man was sent to prison

:03:03. > :03:06.Facebook told us it had improved its systems,

:03:07. > :03:13.But we still found sexualised pictures of children,

:03:14. > :03:20.We reported 100 posts that we felt broke Facebook's own guidelines.

:03:21. > :03:29.They didn't breach Facebook's community standards.

:03:30. > :03:41.I'm concerned that that's been brought to Facebook's attention,

:03:42. > :03:45.and some of those images have not been dealt with and addressed.

:03:46. > :03:51.And this report, this investigation, it casts great doubt

:03:52. > :03:54.on the effectiveness of the measures that Facebook has in place.

:03:55. > :03:58.Facebook asked us to send examples of what we had reported,

:03:59. > :04:01.The company then reported us to the police.

:04:02. > :04:18.Facebook issued a statement saying...

:04:19. > :04:19.But, even now, groups with inappropriate images

:04:20. > :04:24.and comments about children remain on Facebook.

:04:25. > :04:35.Questions about how the company moderates content won't go away.

:04:36. > :04:38.And we will be talking to a former Facebook executive about how

:04:39. > :04:46.they moderate content in just under ten minutes.

:04:47. > :04:49.Let us know what you think about that story as well.

:04:50. > :04:53.An extra ?320 million for new school places in England will be confirmed

:04:54. > :04:56.It will go towards the Government's existing free school programme,

:04:57. > :04:59.and could be used to support the opening of any

:05:00. > :05:03.Labour has criticised the move for failing to address funding

:05:04. > :05:06.pressures faced by schools, but Theresa May insists it is part

:05:07. > :05:09.of her plan to make a good education accessible to every child.

:05:10. > :05:13.Well, of course we have protected the core schools budget.

:05:14. > :05:15.But, crucially, what we're announcing is ?500 million

:05:16. > :05:18.of investment in schools, ?320 million of which will

:05:19. > :05:23.That will create around 70,000 new school places.

:05:24. > :05:27.What this is about is ensuring that people can know that their child

:05:28. > :05:30.will have a good school place, and all the opportunities that that

:05:31. > :05:34.Our political correspondent Ellie Price joins us from

:05:35. > :05:49.There is extra funding going to new schools, some will be critical as

:05:50. > :05:54.some say that schools already need more money. Yes, and some of those

:05:55. > :05:58.will be grammar schools and there is a debate about whether those grammar

:05:59. > :06:02.schools should be extended. The rest of the money, ?216 million, will go

:06:03. > :06:06.towards refurbishing existing school buildings. We'll start with that, a

:06:07. > :06:10.report a few weeks ago by the National Audit Office, the spending

:06:11. > :06:15.watchdog, suggested you would need ?6.7 billion to bring existing

:06:16. > :06:19.school buildings up to a satisfactory standard. A further ?7

:06:20. > :06:23.billion to make them a good standard. So that gives you some

:06:24. > :06:27.idea of how this is really just a drop in the ocean. And all this

:06:28. > :06:30.comes, of course, at a time when head teachers have been complaining

:06:31. > :06:35.about the looming costs of running schools. They say that the amount of

:06:36. > :06:38.funding per child has been reduced. A report out a few weeks ago

:06:39. > :06:44.suggested that between now and 2020 the amount of money will be going

:06:45. > :06:48.down by 6.5% per pupil and the significance of all of this is that

:06:49. > :06:51.this is money towards buildings and school places. Critics say there

:06:52. > :06:54.needs to be more money towards running costs but that money seems

:06:55. > :06:57.to not be forthcoming. For the moment, thank you.

:06:58. > :06:59.A British backpacker has been rescued by police officers

:07:00. > :07:02.in Australia, after allegedly being held against her will for more

:07:03. > :07:06.She is said to have been raped and assaulted.

:07:07. > :07:09.The woman was rescued by police when they pulled over the vehicle

:07:10. > :07:12.she was driving and noticed she had serious injuries to her face.

:07:13. > :07:16.Our correspondent Hywel Griffith is in Sydney.

:07:17. > :07:29.Yes, the police say that what this woman went through was horrific. She

:07:30. > :07:33.met the man, they say, at a party in Cairns in northern Queensland about

:07:34. > :07:37.three months ago and the two set off on the second of January on a road

:07:38. > :07:40.trip at things seem to have turned particularly nasty. The police

:07:41. > :07:46.allege that the man repeatedly raped, assaulted her, even tried to

:07:47. > :07:51.strangle her and deprived her of liberty, even damaging her passport.

:07:52. > :07:55.They flagged her down after she pay failed to pay for fuel. They didn't

:07:56. > :07:57.know she was missing. This is what she told them, according to

:07:58. > :07:58.Detective Inspector Paul Hart. Police subsequently spoke

:07:59. > :08:01.at length with that female, who has been identified

:08:02. > :08:03.as a 22-year-old tourist She advised that, over a period

:08:04. > :08:10.of weeks, she had been held against her will by the male person

:08:11. > :08:15.located in the vehicle. It was established that they had

:08:16. > :08:18.previously had a relationship, And he had basically

:08:19. > :08:23.deprived her of her liberty, committed a number of offences

:08:24. > :08:26.against her as they travelled around the state, culminating

:08:27. > :08:40.in their location in Mitchell. The 22-year-old man who has been

:08:41. > :08:43.arrested was found on the back of the vehicle, police allege he was

:08:44. > :08:47.trying to hide from them. He will appear in court next week. Meanwhile

:08:48. > :08:50.the woman has been receiving treatment at a nearby hospital. She

:08:51. > :08:54.has been supported by the British high commission and we understand

:08:55. > :08:58.she has been able to contact her family back in the UK, although it

:08:59. > :09:01.is likely she won't be able to leave until she has finished giving

:09:02. > :09:03.evidence to the police about her ordeal. Thank you for your update

:09:04. > :09:03.this morning. The Government is facing

:09:04. > :09:06.the prospect of another defeat in the House of Lords over

:09:07. > :09:09.the process of leaving the EU today. Peers are to vote on an amendment

:09:10. > :09:13.to the Brexit Bill which calls for Parliament to be given

:09:14. > :09:16.a meaningful vote on a final deal. The Prime Minister has said

:09:17. > :09:19.Parliament will have a vote, but only on a "take it

:09:20. > :09:22.or leave it" basis. Last week the Upper House voted

:09:23. > :09:25.to guarantee the rights of EU Downing Street has rejected a call

:09:26. > :09:33.from the former Conservative leader Lord Hague to call

:09:34. > :09:35.a snap general election. Writing in the Daily Telegraph,

:09:36. > :09:38.William Hague wrote it would strengthen the Government's

:09:39. > :09:41.hand and help the UK secure a better But a source at Number Ten said

:09:42. > :09:45.Teresa May doesn't plan New figures show police forces

:09:46. > :09:50.in England and Wales received one call every 90 seconds

:09:51. > :09:53.about a missing person last year. That is an increase of 15%

:09:54. > :09:56.on the previous year. Police chiefs believe the ageing

:09:57. > :09:58.population could be one reason A Conservative backbencher

:09:59. > :10:06.is attempting to reverse Government plans to end the Dubs scheme,

:10:07. > :10:08.under which unaccompanied migrant children who don't have relatives

:10:09. > :10:11.in the UK are given refuge here. The MP Heidi Allen is tabling

:10:12. > :10:14.an amendment to legislation going through the House

:10:15. > :10:16.of Commons today. Last month the Government announced

:10:17. > :10:19.that it was limiting the scheme Our home affairs correspondent

:10:20. > :10:38.June Kelly reports. Amir's family home is in the

:10:39. > :10:42.war-ravaged Syrian city of Aleppo. He is one of the migrants helped by

:10:43. > :10:47.the charity safe passage who came to the UK alone under the Dubs scheme.

:10:48. > :10:50.He is now being fostered by a British family, and a top priority

:11:07. > :11:12.choice is to wait for death or leave. He says it is sad that the

:11:13. > :11:17.scheme which brought him to the UK is the end. It was my choice from

:11:18. > :11:25.the beginning to come here. In Syria, we learnt about the UK. It is

:11:32. > :11:35.The MP Heidi Allen recently visited refugees. With Yvette Cooper. Today

:11:36. > :11:39.in the House of Commons, Heidi Allen will be attempting to reverse

:11:40. > :11:43.government plans to end the Dubs scheme. She wants local authorities

:11:44. > :11:47.to say how much spare capacity they have to resettle unaccompanied young

:11:48. > :11:51.migrants, and then ministers to make this information public. If the

:11:52. > :11:55.offers of capacity and goodwill are that, we as a nation should be taken

:11:56. > :12:00.up those offers. The Dubs scheme, we have chosen at this stage to end it

:12:01. > :12:03.neatly at the end of the financial year. This humanitarian crisis will

:12:04. > :12:07.not end at the end of the financial year, so nor should our compassion.

:12:08. > :12:11.Last year, 900 unaccompanied child migrants were allowed into the UK.

:12:12. > :12:15.The majority do have family here. The Home Office said that some

:12:28. > :12:30.with her 78-year-old father, Stephen, after she first sent it

:12:31. > :12:43.The card was last posted in Oxfordshire on 10 February.

:12:44. > :12:49.If you do perchance see this card, they would really like it back. As

:12:50. > :12:53.you pointed out earlier, it is probably in an envelope, but still,

:12:54. > :12:55.come on. We can't let history down here. We can sort this out, I'm

:12:56. > :12:56.sure. There are grave doubts over the way

:12:57. > :12:59.the social media network Facebook handles reports of inappropriate

:13:00. > :13:01.images of children. Those comments from the chair

:13:02. > :13:04.of the Commons Media Committee came after the BBC reported dozens

:13:05. > :13:07.of pictures to the site, but more than 80% of

:13:08. > :13:09.them weren't removed. Joining us now is a former Facebook

:13:10. > :13:29.executive, Elizabeth Linder. Nice to see you. It is a difficult

:13:30. > :13:33.story, this. Tell us, would you, what the procedures are and do you

:13:34. > :13:37.think they are being followed? Well, generally speaking Facebook operates

:13:38. > :13:41.on a report and takedown model. So because of the size of the platform,

:13:42. > :13:46.1.8 billion people using Facebook every month, they rely on people to

:13:47. > :13:49.be their police forces. In some cases, in certain types of content,

:13:50. > :13:54.there are also technical solutions that Facebook will use, certain

:13:55. > :13:58.types of images, for example, will be taken a look out across all kinds

:13:59. > :14:02.of social media platforms that sometimes are indicative of the kind

:14:03. > :14:10.of material that would not be allowed. But people are really

:14:11. > :14:14.encouraged to report on content they think might violate Facebook's terms

:14:15. > :14:17.of use, which will go into a queue which is usually reviewed by

:14:18. > :14:20.Facebook employees to determine whether or not it actually violates

:14:21. > :14:25.the terms of service for the platform. So you talk about the size

:14:26. > :14:29.of it, do you think it is actually too big to be policed in this way,

:14:30. > :14:34.and really it needs a professional force to actually make sure that it

:14:35. > :14:38.is safe in this way? Well, no one has ever been a police force quite

:14:39. > :14:42.this big, if you will. But I think it is also important to remember

:14:43. > :14:46.that Facebook is not a law enforcement agency, and that is a

:14:47. > :14:49.really significant danger for young people, is actually mistakenly

:14:50. > :14:53.thinking that reporting content on Facebook is reporting it directly to

:14:54. > :14:58.the police. It is not. When people see something that is seriously

:14:59. > :15:02.concerning online... And you press the report button. They need to

:15:03. > :15:05.report on Facebook at the first thing they should do, especially the

:15:06. > :15:08.greater the potential crime, they have to get in touch with law

:15:09. > :15:13.enforcement and directly in touch with the police. I am interested,

:15:14. > :15:17.because the Facebook employ people to be doing this, to be checking and

:15:18. > :15:19.all the rest? Do they have people doing that? Or are they just when

:15:20. > :15:34.forbidden to report it? They have employees around the world

:15:35. > :15:37.doing that. They have to be trained globally to uphold the same

:15:38. > :15:45.standards around the world. Cultural differences, you know, are huge

:15:46. > :15:55.problem. You are training aid him in Hyderabad and Austin, taxes the

:15:56. > :15:58.same. -- training them. Facebook should welcome as much information

:15:59. > :16:07.as it can get from journalists and law enforcement and citizens because

:16:08. > :16:10.that is the under way to sustain policing on the platform. They

:16:11. > :16:16.should do it with cybersecurity. You can get paid to report a bug you

:16:17. > :16:28.identify with the form of Facebook. That is something the site does.

:16:29. > :16:32.What is the next sanction? When they are being reported and are not

:16:33. > :16:39.taking down images, should there be sanctioned? There is to lay a

:16:40. > :16:43.breakdown somewhere in this. -- definitely. I am sure the company is

:16:44. > :16:49.looking into that and working out what went wrong. In lots of the

:16:50. > :16:52.situations, it is contextual. Whoever is reviewing the report, for

:16:53. > :16:57.whatever reason, they did not have enough context or information to

:16:58. > :17:04.understand why that report potentially violates the law. They

:17:05. > :17:10.have said they carefully reviewed the content and removed all items

:17:11. > :17:15.illegal or against their standards. Talking about how long the process

:17:16. > :17:18.can take, from the point of flagging something and saying it is an

:17:19. > :17:22.appropriate, how long would it take for that to be assessed by the

:17:23. > :17:26.Facebook team looking at that to take it down? It depends on what

:17:27. > :17:30.kind of content is reported. Something reported as somebody

:17:31. > :17:38.potentially imminently considering suicide, that will go into a quiet

:17:39. > :17:45.high-profile queue. -- quite. It is important. It really can vary.

:17:46. > :17:50.Content such as that exposed by your story would be treated quite

:17:51. > :17:57.seriously by the company because of what it is. OK. Thank you very much.

:17:58. > :18:00.Always lovely to have you. It is against the law for anyone to

:18:01. > :18:07.distribute images of child explication. This issue is now in

:18:08. > :18:11.the hands of authorities. That is from Simon from the company. And now

:18:12. > :18:18.for the weather. If you are just switching on, she is back. A treat

:18:19. > :18:25.to be here. Did you notice how cold air is this morning? This is

:18:26. > :18:34.Salford. It looks nice and still. A temperature range of between

:18:35. > :18:38.freezing and plus four. On with the weather. A chilly start with rust

:18:39. > :18:43.around. Largely dry. Some sunshine. Some will hang on to that for a

:18:44. > :18:47.while today, especially in the east. A clutch of weather fronts coming in

:18:48. > :18:53.from the south-west introducing cloud. Later on, heavy rain, as the

:18:54. > :18:57.light rain, at the moment. Also some showers in western Scotland. All of

:18:58. > :19:01.the weather fronts plaguing the western isles are clipping

:19:02. > :19:07.Aberdeenshire. That will clear that, but hanging around, especially in

:19:08. > :19:13.Shetland. Despite a cold start, some sunshine. Northern Ireland, a bright

:19:14. > :19:17.and cold start to the day. The same in northern England. Showers are

:19:18. > :19:22.more or less gone. Drizzle in the north-east. The London area, part of

:19:23. > :19:26.the east Midlands, cloud big enough to produce drizzle. That will fade.

:19:27. > :19:31.As we drift over to the south-west and Wales, again, a lot of dry

:19:32. > :19:35.weather. You will notice the rain on the charts. Through the morning, the

:19:36. > :19:41.wind will pick up. Generally speaking, the rain in the west of

:19:42. > :19:45.England and Wales will be light. It will be chilly underneath it. Away

:19:46. > :19:51.from that, the cloud will build in turn hazy. Averages between seven

:19:52. > :19:55.and 11. Again, if you are stuck in the rain in Shetland, for example,

:19:56. > :19:59.live. Good evening and overnight, and as the rain turns heavier as it

:20:00. > :20:03.comes from the west, temperatures will actually go up through the

:20:04. > :20:06.evening and overnight across south-west England and Wales in

:20:07. > :20:14.particular. The band of rain does is dropping transient snow in the hills

:20:15. > :20:19.of Scotland. -- goes east. . Murky with a mild start in southern areas.

:20:20. > :20:23.Murky in the north. Tomorrow, another murky start. Rain and breezy

:20:24. > :20:26.conditions in southern England and Wales. As we go into northern

:20:27. > :20:31.England, Northern Ireland, in Scotland, much brighter skies for

:20:32. > :20:36.you with sunshine. Blustery, though. Still some showers are towards the

:20:37. > :20:45.west. Temperatures by then, up to 14. Rain in the south. Not special.

:20:46. > :20:48.Newcastle, and ten in Glasgow. The weather will push up towards the

:20:49. > :20:52.English Channel. The Channel Islands will see some rain from that.

:20:53. > :20:56.Thursday, look at it goes around. On Thursday, eventually we will see

:20:57. > :21:00.some more cloud and rain coming in from the south-west later on in the

:21:01. > :21:07.day. For many, dry with a few showers. Some sunshine. Temperatures

:21:08. > :21:16.up generally to 10-14. Not bad at all. I am looking forward to it.

:21:17. > :21:25.Thank you. And now for the budget. The Breakfast version of the

:21:26. > :21:27.Generation Game. It is all about the money.

:21:28. > :21:29.It's the second day of our budget road trip.

:21:30. > :21:31.Yesterday, we looked at what millennials,

:21:32. > :21:33.those born in the 80s and 90s, want to hear

:21:34. > :21:37.Today, we're taking a look at what Generation X,

:21:38. > :21:40.those born between 1966 and 1980, want to see.

:21:41. > :21:42.Steph's at a family run business in North Yorkshire

:21:43. > :21:49.Sausages are on the menu. Good morning, Steph. I feel like I am on

:21:50. > :21:52.the Generation Game this morning but it is all sausages. I am at a

:21:53. > :21:55.sausage factory where they make something like 300,000 sausages

:21:56. > :21:59.every day. You can see them coming off the line. If you look up over

:22:00. > :22:03.here you can see the mix going in there. That will be mixed into the

:22:04. > :22:08.system. It doesn't look that nice at that point to be fair. But the end

:22:09. > :22:13.result looks great. Sausages coming up the line. This is a family run

:22:14. > :22:20.business. We thought we would come here to talk to people in Generation

:22:21. > :22:26.X, people born between 1966 and 1980. Breakfast's John Maguire went

:22:27. > :22:28.to meet some people from Generation X to find out what they think about

:22:29. > :22:34.what concerns them with the economy. It's St David's Day,

:22:35. > :22:48.and the first day of spring. Time to take stock, and time to look

:22:49. > :22:51.ahead to brighter days. We are in Pontypool to find out

:22:52. > :22:54.how people are coping. I used to work with

:22:55. > :23:00.the programme over here. I see a lot of people

:23:01. > :23:02.that are managing. They are trying to put people back

:23:03. > :23:15.into work but they are not making I think wages should go up quite

:23:16. > :23:20.a bit more than the budget And what can the Chancellor

:23:21. > :23:23.do for the town? Let's take a spin about the BBC

:23:24. > :23:31.Breakfast Generation Game Table Generation X born between 1966

:23:32. > :23:34.and 1980 are at the peak of their careers and are

:23:35. > :23:39.bringing up children. Those on low incomes are feeling

:23:40. > :23:41.the effects of large These are the ones who have fallen

:23:42. > :23:48.between the cracks when it comes We are just about managing

:23:49. > :23:53.with the budget. Looking at the market

:23:54. > :23:56.and different things. As you said, both you

:23:57. > :24:00.and your wife work. And you very much need

:24:01. > :24:03.to work to make ends meet. I work part time just

:24:04. > :24:12.to get by and to My parents are lucky enough to be

:24:13. > :24:23.retired for ten years. I look at myself, and I think

:24:24. > :24:32.I will not be able to do that. I think they were

:24:33. > :24:35.the lucky generation. Yet, at the top of Wendy's

:24:36. > :24:38.budget wish list is help I would like more help with the cost

:24:39. > :24:48.of universities for our children. As Generation X took its first

:24:49. > :24:54.tentative steps, this town provided one of the most famous

:24:55. > :24:58.forwards in world rugby. There are three here

:24:59. > :25:01.today at a meet and greet Peter has been running this

:25:02. > :25:14.business for ten years. People have less money

:25:15. > :25:18.in their pockets and are more fussy about how they spend

:25:19. > :25:20.and they want value. There is a lot of competition

:25:21. > :25:23.in the food business is well. The economy that used to provide

:25:24. > :25:37.work for almost everyone here in these valleys have

:25:38. > :25:39.all but disappeared. And for those who grew up

:25:40. > :25:46.in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, the past seems like a foreign

:25:47. > :25:48.country where things But what can the budget

:25:49. > :25:56.provide for their future? Well, we will be putting some of

:25:57. > :26:05.those concerns to some experts we have got coming down shortly. I am

:26:06. > :26:10.just among the chicken Italia sausage line. You can see them

:26:11. > :26:16.zipping down. Plenty more sausages a little bit later on. You can never

:38:25. > :38:26.faces closure after its owner failed in a bid to renew his

:38:27. > :38:28.licence yesterday. It has raised questions as to why

:38:29. > :38:32.the South Lakes Safari Zoo, in Cumbria, was allowed to continue,

:38:33. > :38:35.amid long-term concerns over how In a moment we will talk

:38:36. > :38:42.to the British and Irish Association First, Danny Savage has more details

:38:43. > :39:01.on what went wrong at South Lakes. South Lakes Safari Zoo. Conditions

:39:02. > :39:08.for some of the animals here have been so bad it has now been ordered

:39:09. > :39:14.to close. The problem is animal welfare. An inspection in January

:39:15. > :39:19.found poor accommodation, uncontrolled breeding and exotic

:39:20. > :39:23.animals living in unheated, rat infested conditions. The zoo has

:39:24. > :39:29.been dogged with trouble for years. Keeper, 24-year-old Sarah McLay, was

:39:30. > :39:34.killed by a tiger in 2013. The man refused a licence to run the zoo

:39:35. > :39:38.today is David Gill, described by inspectors as being desperate to

:39:39. > :39:43.keep control here, one way or another. No longer wants to operate

:39:44. > :39:48.the zoo, but without his licence, the new company now running it can't

:39:49. > :39:50.function. So the site is now facing closure and the animals may need new

:39:51. > :39:51.homes. Joining us now is Kirsten Pullen,

:39:52. > :39:54.who is chief executive of the British and Irish Association

:39:55. > :40:03.of Zoos and Aquariums. Thank you very much for joining us.

:40:04. > :40:06.I understand they are not a member of your organisation, but tell us,

:40:07. > :40:11.if you would, we have heard about some of the things that are going on

:40:12. > :40:14.there, and what do you make of what was happening to these animals?

:40:15. > :40:19.Well, it's clear that there are some very real concerns about the welfare

:40:20. > :40:22.of the animals within the park. There seem to have been some very

:40:23. > :40:25.clear breakdowns in management practices which have led to the

:40:26. > :40:29.worst outcomes for some of the animals that have been involved, and

:40:30. > :40:32.that is something that is absolutely shocking and very distressing,

:40:33. > :40:37.both... I know the keepers there will be very passionate about the

:40:38. > :40:41.animals they work with, but also from the wider zoo community which

:40:42. > :40:45.works so hard to maintain high standards of welfare and activities

:40:46. > :40:52.for conservation within their zoos. And let's talk about David Gill, he

:40:53. > :40:56.has handed management of South Lakes Safari Zoo to the Cumbria is a Ltd

:40:57. > :41:01.but they don't have a licence because he has the license holder.

:41:02. > :41:04.So what happens right now? Yes, so this is the slightly awkward

:41:05. > :41:08.situation that the council are now in and have to deal with as the

:41:09. > :41:11.licensing authority for the park. The decision yesterday, which I

:41:12. > :41:17.completely support, to refuse David Gill a licence, does leave them with

:41:18. > :41:22.looking at what they have to do. Now, there is a 28 day period where

:41:23. > :41:26.David Gill can contest that claim, and we have to wait and see whether

:41:27. > :41:30.he does. But the council also have to make a decision regarding whether

:41:31. > :41:35.the new company who run the zoo are in fact a capable company, of doing

:41:36. > :41:39.so and improving the standards for those animals. And the concerning

:41:40. > :41:43.thing for this point is there are animals in the zoo today. Can we

:41:44. > :41:49.guarantee that they are being looked after? Beekeepers will still be in

:41:50. > :41:53.place, but we need to make sure that the standards, and the council have

:41:54. > :41:57.to look and make sure the standards are being raised within the zoo, and

:41:58. > :42:02.the animals are getting their needs. This is the difficulty we face when

:42:03. > :42:08.closing zoo, particularly zoo which has large animals such as white

:42:09. > :42:13.rhinos, as South Lakes Safari Zoo does. It is logistically difficult

:42:14. > :42:17.to move those animals on. The zoo community will rally around, looking

:42:18. > :42:21.at the breeding programmes and seeing if we can find suitable homes

:42:22. > :42:25.for the animals but there will be a period of time needed to put those

:42:26. > :42:29.moves in place. And the zoo will have to manage to operate on some

:42:30. > :42:33.level to meet the needs of those animals until moves to new homes can

:42:34. > :42:38.be found. And I suppose the question is, how did it get to this? Two Snow

:42:39. > :42:43.leopards found partially eaten, a pair of squirrel monkeys diagnosed

:42:44. > :42:48.with septicaemia. Are they regularly inspected, and how could it have

:42:49. > :42:52.happened? Zoo licensing in the UK is run through the local authorities.

:42:53. > :42:56.But there are regular inspections. The licence is issued for six years

:42:57. > :43:01.after an inspection and then every three years on the interim there is

:43:02. > :43:09.an inspection to see how they go experts come from the local

:43:10. > :43:14.authority and Defre to see what is happening in the zoo. And this has

:43:15. > :43:21.led to the causes of the outcome the other day. But I think it is

:43:22. > :43:24.relevant to say that we support a stronger licensing process within

:43:25. > :43:28.the UK, it is very important for us and perhaps it is time to look and

:43:29. > :43:33.review the process is here, to see what has happened and whether they

:43:34. > :43:38.can be any tightening up of our legislation. And looking at the

:43:39. > :43:44.death level of that zoo, there must be figures for other zoos, is a very

:43:45. > :43:48.out of sync with other zoos? I think the key thing is to look at the

:43:49. > :43:55.underlying causes of death. It is very hard to do comparisons across

:43:56. > :43:58.zoo sites. Some animals have a much shorter lifespan, so you might get a

:43:59. > :44:03.higher natural death rate. The key thing is to look at the underlying

:44:04. > :44:06.causes of the deaths, and it is very clear that there are some very

:44:07. > :44:10.strong management issues, or very definite management issues, that

:44:11. > :44:14.have been happening at South Lakes Safari Zoo, which have led to

:44:15. > :44:18.compromise welfare for the animals. Thank you.

:44:19. > :44:20.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:44:21. > :44:35.Actually, the weather. It is quite chilly this morning. You can say

:44:36. > :44:39.that again. -4 in some areas. A cold start to the day. Temperatures

:44:40. > :44:46.between zero and freezing and four degrees. On the coast, more mild.

:44:47. > :44:50.For most of us, largely dry today. Cloud coming in from the Atlantic.

:44:51. > :44:56.This is a set of weather fronts producing rain later. At the moment,

:44:57. > :45:00.showers in western Scotland. Rain in the Northern Isles going to the

:45:01. > :45:07.north-east of Aberdeenshire. That will clear Aberdeenshire but not the

:45:08. > :45:11.Northern Isles. A bright start but a cold one for northern England.

:45:12. > :45:18.Drizzle to be north-east. That will fade. Further south, that too will

:45:19. > :45:24.fade. Wales. South-west England. Dry weather. Cloud continuing to build

:45:25. > :45:28.from the west. As the next weather front comes in bringing rain.

:45:29. > :45:32.Through the course of the day, the rain will not be particularly heavy,

:45:33. > :45:37.but underneath it, it will feel chilly. Away from that, back into

:45:38. > :45:45.the sunshine, the sunshine will turn more milky. Temperatures between

:45:46. > :45:51.seven and 11. Up here, it will feel cold with a high of only five. The

:45:52. > :45:56.evening and overnight. The rain was an heavier in south-west England and

:45:57. > :46:01.Wales. The temperatures will rise. -- the rain will turn. Quickly, the

:46:02. > :46:05.rain pushes off to the North Sea. Transient snow in the hills of

:46:06. > :46:08.Scotland. A second weather front goes south, bringing more rain to

:46:09. > :46:16.the southern counties of England and also Wales. Not as cold a night

:46:17. > :46:23.here, but chilly. Tomorrow, murk in southern areas starting us off. Low

:46:24. > :46:25.cloud and rain and hill fog around. Northern England and Scotland and

:46:26. > :46:32.Northern Ireland, some brighter skies and sunshine and a blustery

:46:33. > :46:34.day wherever you are, really. Look at the temperatures, going into

:46:35. > :46:40.double figures readily. Ten in Aberdeen to a high of 14 in London.

:46:41. > :46:43.For the rest of Wednesday, you can see how the weather front pulls

:46:44. > :46:47.away, bringing rain to the Channel Islands. Then it turns around and

:46:48. > :46:53.divots back in our direction during the course of Thursday. Translated,

:46:54. > :47:00.a chilly start for some of us. A weather front is not that far away.

:47:01. > :47:05.Still in the rainy side. The rain will build ahead of this. It is the

:47:06. > :47:11.north that is David Best for all of the sunshine. Temperatures, ten in

:47:12. > :47:16.the north. -- the best. Then a high of 14 towards London. All in all,

:47:17. > :47:24.the temperatures are going up. But on the weekend, going down. Then

:47:25. > :47:25.next week, back again. Prepare for anything. If you like fried

:47:26. > :47:30.breakfast. Enjoy this. It's the second day of our budget

:47:31. > :47:33.roadshow today, and this week, Steph's out on the road speaking

:47:34. > :47:54.to different generations Good morning. Good morning,

:47:55. > :48:01.everybody. They are making sausages here. These are the sausages that

:48:02. > :48:10.will be packed up and send off to supermarkets across the country.

:48:11. > :48:15.Just this morning they have packed thousands and thousands of sausages.

:48:16. > :48:21.Every day they produce 300,000 of them. Many different flavours. We

:48:22. > :48:25.have come here to talk about the budget. That is happening soon. We

:48:26. > :48:30.are looking at each different generation and how it impacts them.

:48:31. > :48:36.Amelie is here. She is part of Generation X, born between 1966 and

:48:37. > :48:41.1980. I know you are busy. Good morning. Good morning. How is lie

:48:42. > :48:46.for you at the moment? What pressures have you got? I have two

:48:47. > :48:54.children. -- life. My biggest cost is child-care. I spend more on that

:48:55. > :48:59.than my mortgage. Any help with childcare would be fantastic. I know

:49:00. > :49:04.the government is bringing out an extra 1500 hours. I know they are

:49:05. > :49:08.trialling it in Northern Ireland that the they are starting it in

:49:09. > :49:14.September. But I know there are significant implications that it is

:49:15. > :49:19.financially important. More detail needs to be looked into how exactly

:49:20. > :49:23.it is going to work. It may end up in a shortage of childcare

:49:24. > :49:28.providers. Your childcare costs more than your mortgage! How much money

:49:29. > :49:38.are you left without the of the month? Not much, really. After food,

:49:39. > :49:43.nothing really. I have a husband that works, luckily. He is

:49:44. > :49:48.effectively our savings account. It is good that you can actually save.

:49:49. > :49:52.We are able to save a little bit. What would you compromise in order

:49:53. > :49:56.to be able to have better childcare? Of course, it is a tough time for

:49:57. > :50:02.the economy. There is not much money out there. What would you sacrifice?

:50:03. > :50:12.I don't know we could do that to be we don't go on holidays. There is

:50:13. > :50:19.not much that we could sacrifice. -- could. Lovely to see you. Helen is

:50:20. > :50:24.here. We were talking to Emily about the pressures of her family faces.

:50:25. > :50:31.What is it like out there at the moment for a Generation X family? We

:50:32. > :50:35.are finding prices are rising, putting pressure on the incomes of

:50:36. > :50:42.the income families. Inflation will hit at 3%. The incomes of the income

:50:43. > :50:47.families will go down an following years. Winnie need to put in

:50:48. > :50:53.protection for low income families. Unfreezing benefits so that some can

:50:54. > :50:56.keep up with prices in the shops. And also putting money back into

:50:57. > :51:02.Universal Credit to help low income working families keep body. If you

:51:03. > :51:07.look at the figures, unfreezing benefits, it is something like ?4.2

:51:08. > :51:14.billion it would cost the economy. That is the IFS telling us that. One

:51:15. > :51:19.of the things they are choosing to do is to cut income taxes for better

:51:20. > :51:25.off people. That is going to cost over ?2 billion a year. That is

:51:26. > :51:31.money they could choose to actually put into the lives of working

:51:32. > :51:34.families, bringing costs down. Prices will rise and it will become

:51:35. > :51:39.harder to cover the essentials so this would help every week. Thank

:51:40. > :51:43.you very much for your time this morning. Shall we look at some or

:51:44. > :52:01.sausages before we go? Why not? You don't get this opportunity much.

:52:02. > :52:04.These are the chicken Italia sausages. Oh no! It is finished

:52:05. > :52:10.again! Sundried tomatoes and chicken in them, as you would guess! Look at

:52:11. > :52:16.this guy. Look at his little face. Bless him, he is trying to time it

:52:17. > :52:24.for us. Tada! Oh no! Steph! I am sure it is not you or anything, is

:52:25. > :52:33.it? You have ruined the sausage machine. You ruined it! She will not

:52:34. > :52:38.get another invite after ruining the sausage production. And we got a

:52:39. > :52:43.name for the Penguin? Lots of suggestions. We will decide by the

:52:44. > :52:46.end of the programme. -- pigeon. Carol will decide for us. We have it

:52:47. > :52:47.here because of this. When you think of reducing air

:52:48. > :52:50.pollution, you probably think of electric cars and energy

:52:51. > :52:52.efficient light bulbs, but academics at Birmingham

:52:53. > :52:54.University believe pigeons "City Flocks" is a new project

:52:55. > :53:00.which sends pigeons with sensors strapped to their backs off

:53:01. > :53:03.into the sky to record more Breakfast's Graham Satchell went

:53:04. > :53:14.to watch their maiden flight. Can pigeons help us in the battle

:53:15. > :53:17.against air pollution? It sounds far-fetched, but academics

:53:18. > :53:19.at Birmingham University People give you the look

:53:20. > :53:23.like you are giving me. We have a superfast

:53:24. > :53:46.temperature sensor... This climate scientist will attach

:53:47. > :53:48.these tiny sensor packs If we know the temperatures

:53:49. > :53:53.above the rooftops, we can test Fitting the sensors

:53:54. > :53:58.is a delicate operation. They are tiny, just 5%

:53:59. > :54:01.of the pigeon's weight, It has a tiny camera

:54:02. > :54:05.to record the flight. Much is resting on

:54:06. > :54:08.the next few minutes. This is the first time

:54:09. > :54:11.we have done this. It is the result of many hours

:54:12. > :54:15.of work to get to this stage. I think they will just take off

:54:16. > :54:21.and find their way home. This is the disoriented view

:54:22. > :54:49.from the pigeon-cam. What is it scientists

:54:50. > :54:51.are trying to discover? They already know that nitrous

:54:52. > :54:54.oxide, the pollution that comes out of diesel engines, rises

:54:55. > :54:57.with the heat coming from roads To model it, they need accurate

:54:58. > :55:08.data in this climate. If they could be tiny

:55:09. > :55:14.and accurate enough, we could start to understand

:55:15. > :55:17.the dispersion of air pollution Just six minutes after taking off,

:03:19. > :03:26.I'm concerned that that's been brought to Facebook's attention,

:04:39. > :04:40.pressures faced by schools, but Theresa May insists it's part

:04:41. > :04:50.of her plan to make a good education accessible to every child.

:04:51. > :04:55.Our political correspondent Ellie Price joins us from Westminster.

:04:56. > :05:01.The question of funding is huge when it comes to education, I suppose

:05:02. > :05:05.many people will say that the money is good, but why not invest in

:05:06. > :05:08.existing schools? The majority of the money will be

:05:09. > :05:13.sent to building new free schools, as you mentioned, a number of which

:05:14. > :05:19.could be grammar schools. There is plenty of controversy around that

:05:20. > :05:22.already. The rest of the money, ?260 million, will be spent refurbishing

:05:23. > :05:35.existing school buildings. Recently there was a report by the spending

:05:36. > :05:37.watchdog the National Audit Office that said in order to get existing

:05:38. > :05:40.school buildings to a satisfactory level you would need to spend more

:05:41. > :05:43.than ?6.5 billion, to get them to a good level you would need to spend a

:05:44. > :05:46.further ?7 billion, so this is a small drop in the open. We are

:05:47. > :05:49.hearing plenty from head teachers complaining about the ballooning

:05:50. > :05:53.running costs of schools at a time when they're spending per pupil has

:05:54. > :06:00.been dropped. Recently it was estimated that the amount of funding

:06:01. > :06:04.per pupil would be reduced by 6.5% between now and 2020. I am giving

:06:05. > :06:07.you lots of numbers and it sounds like a maths lesson, but the

:06:08. > :06:12.significance is that this new money goes toward school places and school

:06:13. > :06:17.buildings, critics say it should go towards running costs and it would

:06:18. > :06:20.seem that the money for that is not forthcoming. Nothing wrong with an

:06:21. > :06:23.early maths lesson! Thank you. A British backpacker has been

:06:24. > :06:25.rescued by police officers in Australia after allegedly

:06:26. > :06:27.being held against her will She is said to have been

:06:32. > :06:34.when they pulled over the vehicle she was driving and noticed she had

:10:37. > :10:41.It seems to me that they have written in it every single year for

:10:42. > :10:46.all those years. They would really like it back. You

:10:47. > :10:49.know we said we were trying to search for it, somebody suggested is

:10:50. > :10:53.that the reason it has gone missing is it might have fallen out of the

:10:54. > :10:56.envelope, so you might spot it lying around in the street.

:10:57. > :11:07.It would be great if we track that down and got it back to the family.

:11:08. > :11:13.You are watching BBC Breakfast. There has been a massive increase in

:11:14. > :11:14.the number of calls received to the police about a missing persons this

:11:15. > :11:16.year. New figures show about 370 people

:11:17. > :11:19.were reported as missing every day last year -

:11:20. > :11:21.an increase of 15% It's a call Margaret Cooper

:11:22. > :11:24.made nine years ago. He was a lovely dad and his son

:11:25. > :11:33.thinks the world of him. But he's got two grandchildren

:11:34. > :11:36.now that he's never seen, We couldn't really believe

:11:37. > :11:41.that he'd just taken off for no reason at all,

:11:42. > :11:43.and we thought, "Oh, He's gone off in a huff

:11:44. > :11:48.and he'll come home." But every day that went

:11:49. > :11:51.by and we went out searching and we couldn't find him,

:11:52. > :11:53.we just got more and more worried. And then we knew that something

:11:54. > :11:58.drastic had happened. At one point I actually sort of went

:11:59. > :12:05.to touch someone on the shoulder I just sort of held back then

:12:06. > :12:14.and thought, "No, it isn't." But it's there in your

:12:15. > :12:17.mind all the time. Louise Vesely-Shore

:12:18. > :12:19.is Senior Officer at the National Crime Agency's Missing Persons

:12:20. > :12:22.Bureau. She joins us now

:12:23. > :12:31.from central London. Thank you very much for your time

:12:32. > :12:36.this morning. To go back to those figures, the latest figures, a 15%

:12:37. > :12:41.increase in the number of suspected Mrs Persons reported. What do you

:12:42. > :12:49.think is behind it? Difficult to say. -- suspected missing persons

:12:50. > :12:53.reported. It is partly about reporting. We need to improve our

:12:54. > :12:58.picture of the people who go missing so we can respond more effectively.

:12:59. > :13:04.How much time is being devoted to trying to find these people and

:13:05. > :13:08.investigate the cases? 240,000 incidents a year, that is an awful

:13:09. > :13:12.lot of time, even if it only takes 20 or 30 minutes to find the person

:13:13. > :13:17.and confirmed they are safe and well, that is an awful lot of time,

:13:18. > :13:26.and some cases take far, far longer. It is difficult to put an exact

:13:27. > :13:29.figure on it because every case is different but it is a lot of hours.

:13:30. > :13:31.For the families and friends of those involved, they all think that

:13:32. > :13:34.case is most important so there must be a balance between the amount of

:13:35. > :13:41.time and care the family would like you to put a mad case and balancing

:13:42. > :13:45.that with police resources? Certainly, we had to balance

:13:46. > :13:48.resources with the risk to the individual. We look at the

:13:49. > :13:53.circumstances and try to understand what is our priority, how can we

:13:54. > :13:58.find that person as quickly and safely as possible. Some cases need

:13:59. > :14:01.priority because of the danger to the individual. There are

:14:02. > :14:04.suggestions that the increasing number of missing persons reports

:14:05. > :14:10.might have to do with an ageing population, might that be true? It

:14:11. > :14:14.is difficult to state the fact is exactly but individuals with

:14:15. > :14:23.Alzheimer's and dementia who go wandering RA significant number

:14:24. > :14:26.reported, we suspect that the ageing population will have an impact if

:14:27. > :14:29.that is not what is contributing already. What sort of support to

:14:30. > :14:33.families get when a person goes missing, what resources are put into

:14:34. > :14:38.it when they can't find a family member? Police are focused on trying

:14:39. > :14:44.to locate that individual, but we try to support the families by

:14:45. > :14:48.keeping them updated. We work with the Charity Missing People, they are

:14:49. > :14:53.there to provide support to the family, it is a partnership between

:14:54. > :14:57.the police and the charities to provide that. Thank you Louise

:14:58. > :15:01.Vesely-Shore, talking about the fact that there is a 15% increase in the

:15:02. > :15:06.number of suspected missing persons reported.

:15:07. > :15:08.It's 8.15am and you're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:15:09. > :15:11.Facebook's procedures for vetting content and removing inappropriate

:15:12. > :15:13.and sexualised images of children have been criticised

:15:14. > :15:19.A British backpacker has been rescued by police in Australia

:15:20. > :15:31.after being held captive for two months.

:15:32. > :15:44.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:15:45. > :15:50.I need smelling salts because you came to me in time! I'm in shock!

:15:51. > :15:54.Good morning. Outside this morning, it is nifty. In Salford this morning

:15:55. > :15:57.for example we have a temperature currently around about three

:15:58. > :16:01.Celsius. And it is nice and it is still and it is nice and calm. For

:16:02. > :16:08.many parts of the UK today, it is a cold start. We've got temperatures

:16:09. > :16:12.still minus four in Braemar, but generally they are between zero and

:16:13. > :16:17.four Celsius. This morning hardly surprisingly there is frost around,

:16:18. > :16:21.but it is mostly dry. Now, there is sunshine across many area, but as we

:16:22. > :16:25.go through the day and this set of fronts coming in from the Atlantic

:16:26. > :16:30.advance eastwards, well you will find the cloud will continue to

:16:31. > :16:33.build. We have another weather front playing the Northern Isles. You will

:16:34. > :16:38.see rain. But in between this, a fine, dry and bright start to the

:16:39. > :16:41.day, with just a little bit of drizzle which will continue to

:16:42. > :16:44.fizzle out. Through the day the rain coming into the south-west will be

:16:45. > :16:48.fairly patchy in nature. It will be windy particularly so in the west.

:16:49. > :16:52.Even into the afternoon, that is the scenario. So this afternoon in

:16:53. > :16:56.Scotland, a mixture of bright spells, sunshine, and just a few

:16:57. > :17:00.showers, but still this rain across the Northern Isles. Temperature wise

:17:01. > :17:04.we are looking at highs of eight Celsius in Edinburgh. By the

:17:05. > :17:07.afternoon we will see patchy rain across Northern Ireland, but for

:17:08. > :17:10.much of England and through central and eastern parts, it will be

:17:11. > :17:14.bright. There will be sunshine the further east you travel, but cloud

:17:15. > :17:18.will be building in ahead of the weather front. We have got the rain

:17:19. > :17:22.still across the south-west. Here it will feel nippy. But as the rain

:17:23. > :17:25.comes in, it will turn heavier in western areas. The temperature in

:17:26. > :17:29.south-west England and Wales will go up as we go through the evening and

:17:30. > :17:33.overnight and as the first front goes through, it will be windy and

:17:34. > :17:36.it will deposit snow on the hills. So behind it, it will be cold across

:17:37. > :17:40.the northern half of the country. We have a second weather front sinking

:17:41. > :17:45.south. Under that, it is not going to be particularly cold. So, a murky

:17:46. > :17:49.start across southern areas with rain, some low cloud. As we push

:17:50. > :17:51.further north, for northern England and Northern Ireland and Scotland,

:17:52. > :17:55.well, drier and brighter. Some sunshine around. But again, showers

:17:56. > :18:00.just flirting with parts of the west as we go through the day.

:18:01. > :18:03.Temperature wise, up to 14 Celsius. Now through Wednesday the front

:18:04. > :18:07.sinks into the Channel Islands taking its rain with it, but you can

:18:08. > :18:10.see the back edge of it here. It is going to pivot around and it will

:18:11. > :18:15.come back in across south-western parts later on in the day. Ahead of

:18:16. > :18:19.it once again we will see more cloud build. Breezy across the English

:18:20. > :18:23.Channel. Move away from the cloud across the Midlands, Wales and East

:18:24. > :18:27.Anglia, we're into sunnier skies across Northern England and Scotland

:18:28. > :18:33.and Northern Ireland. For murs, into Friday even, we hang on to that mild

:18:34. > :18:37.air as denoted by the yellows and the ambers. It looks like the

:18:38. > :18:41.temperature may well dip, but having said that, as we start the new

:18:42. > :18:44.working week what is going to happen the temperature likes like it will

:18:45. > :18:48.climb up again. That doesn't mean it will be bone dry and we're going to

:18:49. > :18:51.have wall to wall blue skies, but what we are looking at is some

:18:52. > :18:56.unsettled weather and rain at times, but in the sunshine it will feel

:18:57. > :19:00.pleasant. It is not looking too bad at all and certainly with the

:19:01. > :19:02.temperatures. Thank you very much, Carol. See you

:19:03. > :19:10.later. It's the Breakfast version

:19:11. > :19:13.of the generation game. All week we're taking a look

:19:14. > :19:15.at what different groups want to hear from the Chancellor

:19:16. > :19:17.in tomorrow's Budget. Today it's the turn of Generation X

:19:18. > :19:20.- those born between 1966 and 1980. Steph's at a family run

:19:21. > :19:28.business in North Yorkshire. You will be aware they make

:19:29. > :19:32.sausages. Good morning! Yeah, good morning do you. We're

:19:33. > :19:40.talking bangers and cash this morning because we're here at Tech.

:19:41. > :19:46.They make 300,000 sausages every day. Since 6am they have made nearly

:19:47. > :19:52.50,000 sausages. It has been busy. This is a family run business and

:19:53. > :19:56.there is lots of family members who work here. Andrew is the boss.

:19:57. > :20:01.Andrew, for you, business is going well, isn't it We're growing quickly

:20:02. > :20:05.at the moment. Yeah, the nation needs its bangers. It is an early

:20:06. > :20:08.start and they're flying out. You're expanding your business as well,

:20:09. > :20:12.aren't you, but given it is the Budget tomorrow, what do you think

:20:13. > :20:17.could help business more? Well, I think innovation is the key to any,

:20:18. > :20:21.it is the lifeblood of any business. So I think any help that we get from

:20:22. > :20:26.the Government in the way of tax breaks to help us keeping innovating

:20:27. > :20:30.and new products, that's the lifeblood of our business. There is,

:20:31. > :20:33.of course, if businesses need help, that means money needs to come from

:20:34. > :20:37.somewhere else to help. What do you think needs to be the compromise in

:20:38. > :20:44.terms to help businesses more? I think it is just the way that tax in

:20:45. > :20:51.general impact. Tax has to be paid and we don't mind paying tax, it's

:20:52. > :20:54.fine, but I just think that public sector pay, needs to be really

:20:55. > :20:58.checked out. We live in the real world. We deal with all the

:20:59. > :21:01.retailers and the golden handshake pensions that the Civil Service have

:21:02. > :21:06.been getting, you know, there is a huge amount of waste in there and

:21:07. > :21:11.also the NHS is struggling. We had a experience with the NHS. It is a

:21:12. > :21:16.fantastic organisation, but it is struggling to cope. It needs more

:21:17. > :21:20.money and the tax has to come from private business. Thank you for your

:21:21. > :21:25.time. We're talking to different people in different generations and

:21:26. > :21:29.today's is Generation X, Andrew is part of that generation and John

:21:30. > :21:31.Maguire went to meet some of them to find out what they feel at a rugby

:21:32. > :21:34.club in South Wales. It's St David's Day

:21:35. > :21:42.and the first day of spring. Time to take stock and time to look

:21:43. > :21:46.ahead to brighter days. We're in Pontypool to find out

:21:47. > :21:48.how people are coping. I used to work with for the work

:21:49. > :22:02.programme over here. I see a lot of people

:22:03. > :22:04.that are managing. They are trying to put people back

:22:05. > :22:11.into work but they are not I think wages should

:22:12. > :22:14.go up quite a bit more And what can the Chancellor

:22:15. > :22:18.do for the town? Let's take a spin around our the BBC

:22:19. > :22:30.Breakfast Generation Generation X born between 1966

:22:31. > :22:37.and 1980 are at the peak of their careers and are likely

:22:38. > :22:40.to be bringing up children. Those on low incomes

:22:41. > :22:42.are feeling the effects These are the ones who have fallen

:22:43. > :22:46.between the cracks when it We are just about managing

:22:47. > :22:59.with the budget. Looking at the market

:23:00. > :23:01.and different things. As you said, both you

:23:02. > :23:04.and your wife work. And you very much need

:23:05. > :23:06.to work to make ends meet. I work part-time just to get

:23:34. > :23:41.I will not be able to do that. I think they were

:24:04. > :24:11.business for ten years. Business is ticking over, but it's

:24:12. > :24:18.tough. People have less money

:24:19. > :24:21.in their pockets and are more fussy about how they spend

:24:22. > :24:23.and they want value. There's a lot of competition in

:24:24. > :24:26.the food business as well, you know? The economy that used to provide

:24:27. > :24:40.work for almost everyone here in these valleys have

:24:41. > :24:42.all but disappeared. And for those who grew up

:24:43. > :24:45.in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, the past seems like a foreign

:25:07. > :25:09.making! So you've got the chicken ones being made here. You can see

:25:10. > :25:13.the different ingredients and what happens is, if you come over here,

:25:14. > :25:17.that's one of the typical pork sausages. The meat going into the

:25:18. > :25:22.system. So that's going to be poured over into there. And then once it's

:25:23. > :25:27.in there, it zips down the line and goes through the little sausage

:25:28. > :25:31.skins. You can see them coming off here and something like 1,000 a

:25:32. > :25:34.minute apparently we've worked out can zip off this line and over on

:25:35. > :25:39.the other side as well, those are the chicken ones. You've got your

:25:40. > :25:42.typical pork sausages. So certainly, a lot of sausage here.

:25:43. > :25:46.I will see you in half an hour's time.

:25:47. > :25:50.STUDIO: That's a good way of putting it, Steph.

:25:58. > :26:03.He will talk about lots of things including writing the children's

:26:04. > :26:09.books. He went in a Spitfire actually to help write one of them

:26:10. > :26:13.which was inspired by his grandad. His grandfather was in the RAF as

:26:14. > :26:17.well. I love it when we get a reaction to

:26:18. > :26:22.a story, you know we were talking about the lost birthday card that

:26:23. > :26:26.was sent since 1984. It has gone missing, BBC Breakfast viewers. They

:26:27. > :26:31.have given optimism for finding things. Sarah says I lost a diamond

:26:32. > :26:38.earring, it was missing for fend days. I found it when I was

:26:39. > :26:41.vacuuming the bedroom carpet. Ali my passport which I lost, I had to cut

:26:42. > :26:48.the holiday short and pay more to change flights. And get express fees

:26:49. > :26:54.to get a new one and then it turned up the back in a notebook. That's

:26:55. > :26:59.the sort of thing I do. Cara says my auntie received a Christmas card in

:27:00. > :30:20.November one year. That turned up 11 months late.

:32:08. > :32:13.consistent with the offences she was outlining to us. And from that, we

:32:14. > :32:18.have subsequently charged that male person with a number of offences.

:32:19. > :32:19.They are very serious offences and would have been quite traumatic for

:33:44. > :33:46.And, Steph's out on the road looking at how Generation X -

:33:47. > :33:49.those born in the '60s and '70s - are coping financially, ahead

:33:50. > :33:56.But first, let's get the sport with Jessica.

:33:57. > :34:03.We have a great goal, are we going to see it again?

:34:04. > :34:10.We definitely are. It is well worth watching the goal at the end. First

:34:11. > :34:14.of all I want to talk about this man and his team, Arsenal. They have a

:34:15. > :34:18.monumental task ahead of them tonight in the Champions League.

:34:19. > :34:24.They are trying to overturn an odds-on deficit. The BBC sport

:34:25. > :34:28.website in their infinite wisdom have come up with a list of things

:34:29. > :34:33.that are more likely to happen than Arsenal overturning the deficit. One

:34:34. > :34:38.of those is England winning the 2020 World Cup. The next James Bond being

:34:39. > :34:43.a woman. That is more likely to happen than Arsenal overturning this

:34:44. > :34:47.deficit. The one that really made me giggle was that they think alien

:34:48. > :34:58.life could be proved to exist in 2017. I'm surprised the odds are

:34:59. > :35:00.that no actually! That tells you the task they have at hand. Now to

:35:01. > :35:02.matters of the pitch. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has

:35:03. > :35:05.dismissed reports of a training ground row between Alexis Sanchez

:35:06. > :35:06.and his team-mates. Sanchez is understood to have had

:35:07. > :35:09.an exchange with players last week, and was left out of the starting

:35:10. > :35:12.line-up for the defeat Arsenal tonight have the daunting

:35:13. > :35:16.task of overturning a first leg 5-1 deficit to Bayern Munich if they're

:35:17. > :35:19.to progress to the Champions The only advantage of our situation

:35:20. > :35:26.is that we have not much choice We have, of course, to go for it,

:35:27. > :35:34.and to attack, and take - go forward with determination

:35:35. > :35:42.and flow, and try to score goals. Chelsea continue their march

:35:43. > :35:45.towards the Premier League title. They're now ten points clear

:35:46. > :35:49.after a 2-1 win at West Ham. They haven't been beaten since

:35:50. > :35:56.losing to Spurs on January 4th. After the break Diego Costa added

:35:57. > :36:00.a second with his thigh. Manuel Lanzini grabbed

:36:01. > :36:03.a consolation goal in injury time Chelsea are now

:36:04. > :36:10.unbeaten in ten games. Manchester United's Zlatan

:36:11. > :36:14.Ibrahimovic and Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings have until this evening

:36:15. > :36:16.to respond It's following their Premier League

:36:17. > :36:20.match on Saturday. The United striker caught Mings

:36:21. > :36:22.in the face just moments after his head was caught

:36:23. > :36:24.with the defender's studs If found guilty, Mings

:36:25. > :36:29.could face a ban longer than the standard three matches,

:36:30. > :36:32.after the FA said the punishment Ronnie O'Sullivan is

:36:33. > :36:39.through to the second round of the Players Championship

:36:40. > :36:42.in Wales after a 5 frames to 1 The Rocket, who's

:36:43. > :36:47.a five-time world champion, was rarely troubled as he eased

:36:48. > :36:51.through to a second round clash against either Judd Trump

:36:52. > :36:53.or Mark King in a tournament which sees the world's top

:36:54. > :37:00.16 players take part. We're going to return to football

:37:01. > :37:18.finally and Imagine you are new to the club and

:37:19. > :37:26.you want to press your manager. Take a look at this goal. In the keeper's

:37:27. > :37:34.defence, how many of them would be expecting that goal to come straight

:37:35. > :37:38.from the kick-off? It was a flat trajectory, perfectly struck. The

:37:39. > :37:40.keeper runs back and thinks, no, I will not get that! I have not got a

:37:41. > :37:45.chance! FC forward Mirrai scored

:37:46. > :37:47.directly from the kick off His side went on to

:37:48. > :37:51.win the game 4-1. On television he's best known

:37:52. > :37:53.for making us laugh with outrageous But as a children's author,

:37:54. > :37:57.David Walliams is not afraid His latest paperback

:37:58. > :38:01.is about the adventures of a boy and his increasingly confused

:38:02. > :38:07.grandfather. He is just over there. Hello, good

:38:08. > :38:11.morning! Before we speak to David, let's

:38:12. > :38:15.hear him reading an excerpt from it, with a little help from some

:38:16. > :38:28.of his fans. Now, in something of a panic, the

:38:29. > :38:35.boy pulled the nearest handle. The engine tank surged forward. Smash!

:38:36. > :38:42.It demolished the wall of the museum with laughable ease! The pair drove

:38:43. > :38:48.the tank... Backwards and forwards to make sure the whole was big

:38:49. > :38:55.enough for the Spitfire's wings to fit three. Smash, bank, crash. They

:38:56. > :38:58.leapt up onto the wing and climbed into the cockpit.

:38:59. > :39:04.As with most World War II fighter planes there was just one seat. Said

:39:05. > :39:10.the boy sat on his grandfather's lap. Cosy, isn't it? For the first

:39:11. > :39:15.time in his life Jack was sitting in a real Spitfire. His

:39:16. > :39:23.dream was coming true. David Walliams is here with us. Good

:39:24. > :39:27.morning. Thank you for having me. When you started out in your career

:39:28. > :39:33.did you ever imagine you would become a really successful

:39:34. > :39:37.children's or the? Not at all. I hadn't really thought about it until

:39:38. > :39:43.I had an idea about ten years ago which was about a boy who went to

:39:44. > :39:46.school in address. The idea was buzzing around my head and I thought

:39:47. > :39:50.the only way to get it out of my head was to write it down. The book

:39:51. > :39:55.was a modest success. At first it was a modest success in terms of

:39:56. > :40:00.sales and then it grew and I started to do more and more and I love it.

:40:01. > :40:05.There are pictures of you in the Spitfire. As your books have become

:40:06. > :40:10.more successful your research has become more elaborate. This latest

:40:11. > :40:14.book, Grandpa's Great Escape is now out in paperback. It is about a

:40:15. > :40:19.little boy called Jack who has a special relationship with his

:40:20. > :40:21.grandfather who is suffering from Alzheimer's. I don't use that word

:40:22. > :40:25.in the book but his grandfather thinks he is back in World War II

:40:26. > :40:28.when he was a World War II pilot. They go off on and on venture

:40:29. > :40:34.together and actually steal a Spitfire from the Imperial War

:40:35. > :40:40.Museum. To get the research right I actually paid to go in their

:40:41. > :40:46.Spitfire. I don't know if you have ever been in a plane like that but

:40:47. > :40:50.it is like being in a sports car in the air. A passenger plane basically

:40:51. > :40:54.goes in a straight line. This can twist and turn and we went upside

:40:55. > :40:57.down and everything. It was brilliant because I wanted to

:40:58. > :41:05.describe the thrill of flying in a plane like that. And you flew it? I

:41:06. > :41:11.took the control for about ten seconds! It was a little bit scary.

:41:12. > :41:16.And what is it like, our children knows these books well, the reaction

:41:17. > :41:20.from children must be fantastic because you are encouraging people

:41:21. > :41:24.to read? It is fantastic to have lots of kids who love your books and

:41:25. > :41:28.it is brilliant when they come up to you and talk to about them about

:41:29. > :41:32.what they like and sometimes what they didn't like about them. I get

:41:33. > :41:36.critical letters from kids as well because they are so honest.

:41:37. > :41:40.Grown-ups finish books they find boring but kids would never do that.

:41:41. > :41:44.It is a real thrill. The biggest thrill for me is when someone comes

:41:45. > :41:48.up to be in a supermarket and they say I could not get my child to read

:41:49. > :41:51.until they read one of your books. I think it is really important that

:41:52. > :41:57.you get children reading. I don't think it matters too much what they

:41:58. > :42:06.read but just that they do read. I listen to voice most nights because

:42:07. > :42:12.my two daughters... I know you do! You talk about your fans. This is

:42:13. > :42:17.the first one, let's have a look. What made the teacher hates the

:42:18. > :42:23.children so much? That is a good question. There was an evil head

:42:24. > :42:27.teacher and my latest book. Evil headteachers are much more

:42:28. > :42:34.interesting than nice teachers. If you are writing a teacher character,

:42:35. > :42:38.think about Miss Trunchball in Matilda who throws children around

:42:39. > :42:43.by their pigtails. I thought it was more interesting to have a teacher

:42:44. > :42:50.who hates children. What is your favourite book from when you were

:42:51. > :42:54.younger? Charlie and the chocolate factory. I used to go to a local

:42:55. > :42:58.library with my mum, dad and sister every two weeks and that was the

:42:59. > :43:03.book which really got me reading. I go to schools around the country and

:43:04. > :43:07.you mentioned that book and everyone knows it. I think it is one of the

:43:08. > :43:15.greatest children's books of all time. What inspired you to become a

:43:16. > :43:21.really good writer? Well I kind of wanted to be a really average

:43:22. > :43:25.writer! I suppose I got into writing because I was doing comedy and I

:43:26. > :43:36.knew that comedians, I knew when I was a kid that comedians didn't

:43:37. > :43:41.write their own material and writing was the most creative thing for me.

:43:42. > :43:46.I love that idea of a blank page and then you create characters and

:43:47. > :43:53.scenes. Another one is going to be made into a movie. I'm in Manchester

:43:54. > :43:59.at the moment filming Ratburger with Sheridan Smith. She is the evil

:44:00. > :44:07.stepmother and love interest. We are the most gruesome couple you have

:44:08. > :44:12.ever seen. There are consistent characters. Raj's shop. I have a

:44:13. > :44:15.character who threads through the books called Raj and he is the

:44:16. > :44:25.newsagent. He is a very good character because he is a friend to

:44:26. > :44:28.the kids. He is not a parent or teacher. What kid does not like to

:44:29. > :44:32.go to a sweet shop? You also filming the early stages of Britain's Got

:44:33. > :44:37.Talent. Have you had any knockout auditions yet? We really liked your

:44:38. > :44:49.audition but you did not get through! It is fun. We see hundreds

:44:50. > :44:54.of people. I never know with Dan! We saw lots of very talented people. I

:44:55. > :45:00.like the bonkers people more. That is the spirit of the show, people

:45:01. > :45:07.getting up and having a go. That is next month actually.

:45:08. > :45:14.There are guest presenters. Did you ever think it would be so

:45:15. > :45:17.controversial. Because the ITV news was moved, I didn't know whether

:45:18. > :45:20.people felt they were comparing it to the news, rather than other

:45:21. > :45:24.entertainment shows. Do you think there is a space there for a show

:45:25. > :45:28.like that, perhaps not in that time slot? Yeah, I think there is. I

:45:29. > :45:32.think the problem was that ITV news was not getting many viewers for ITV

:45:33. > :45:41.so they wanted to try something different. Because I think they

:45:42. > :45:45.moved the news, I think people were sort of angry about that. I look

:45:46. > :45:50.forward to hearing your voice tonight. Hm, in dreams, hm.

:45:51. > :45:52.LAUGHTER. Lovely to see you. Thank you for

:45:53. > :46:03.having me. Your book is out now. Can you link

:46:04. > :46:06.to the weather for us? Here is Carol with a look at this morning's

:46:07. > :46:17.weather. That is beautiful. I'm behind you!

:46:18. > :46:22.Isn't she gorgeous. Hello, darling, how are you? I've missed you. I

:46:23. > :46:26.worry about you. You too. I worry about you. Any particular reason.

:46:27. > :46:30.You always talk about the weather, nothing else! Got to get some better

:46:31. > :46:36.subjects! Thank you very much for coming.

:46:37. > :46:44.Anyway. Good morning. This morning it's a cold start to the day. The

:46:45. > :46:47.temperature in Braymar is still minus four, but generally speaking

:46:48. > :46:54.it's three to five. It's largely dry, not just for this morning but

:46:55. > :46:58.also through the course of the day. We have weather fronts, one in the

:46:59. > :47:02.south-west producing some patchy rain. Later on, the rain will turn

:47:03. > :47:06.heavier. In-between, there's some frost around, also some sunshine, a

:47:07. > :47:09.bit of drizzle around London at the moment which will tend to clear and

:47:10. > :47:12.then through the day across Northern Ireland, parts of Wales and

:47:13. > :47:17.south-west England, the cloud will produce some light and patchy rain

:47:18. > :47:20.and drizzle. Temperature-wise, nothing particularly to write home

:47:21. > :47:23.about. It's been a cold start. Temperatures slowly recovering

:47:24. > :47:28.through the course of the day. We have got about eight, for example,

:47:29. > :47:31.in Inverness but still nippy if you are stuck under the band of rain.

:47:32. > :47:34.For Northern Ireland, you have the patchy rain through the afternoon.

:47:35. > :47:38.In northern England, a beautiful afternoon. Will be, all the cloud

:47:39. > :47:43.will be building ahead of that. Into the south-east, we lose the drizzle,

:47:44. > :47:50.the cloud breaks up and it brightens up. Wales and south-west England, it

:47:51. > :47:55.will start to cloud over. Through the afternoon, temperatures in

:47:56. > :48:01.Barnstaple and Plymouth eight and nine. The temperature will rise to

:48:02. > :48:05.ten or 11 in the south-west and Wales. The first front rattles

:48:06. > :48:11.through to the east, taking some transient snow with it. Behind it,

:48:12. > :48:14.you can see another front which is sinking south, introducing murky

:48:15. > :48:19.conditions. A lot of low cloud and also some damp weather, some rain.

:48:20. > :48:23.We start off with that scenario tomorrow again across central and

:48:24. > :48:27.southern parts and Wales. A lot of low cloud, murky with rain turning

:48:28. > :48:29.patchier as we go through the day. For northern England, Scotland and

:48:30. > :48:33.Northern Ireland, there'll be one or two showers. At times it will be

:48:34. > :48:37.Bluesy, there'll be a fair bit of sunshine. Temperatures in double

:48:38. > :48:41.figures. Ten in Aberdeen to highs of about 14 as we sweep down towards

:48:42. > :48:45.London. 12 in the Channel Islands where we

:48:46. > :48:47.have the weather front and the rain. On Wednesday, the weather front

:48:48. > :49:04.moves to France. Look how it point pivots round. Blustery winds

:49:05. > :49:06.through the English Channel and then for northern England, Scotland and

:49:07. > :49:10.parts of Northern Ireland, we are back into the sunshine. Variable

:49:11. > :49:15.amounts of cloud. Temperature-wise, ten in Aberdeen to highs of 14 as we

:49:16. > :49:18.sweep down towards the south. For Thursday, even into Friday, you can

:49:19. > :49:23.see we've got the south-westerly winds. This is going to remain.

:49:24. > :49:27.Fairly pleasant temperature-wise, but into the weekend, a little

:49:28. > :49:31.cooler, then the beginning of next week, it's going to turn that little

:49:32. > :49:34.bit milder again. I don't worry about you, I like you

:49:35. > :49:42.talking about the weather! It's my job. I don't always talk about the

:49:43. > :49:47.weather. I know that. When I go out, Bryan Adams, I talk about him. Bryan

:49:48. > :49:53.Adams and the weather, 50/50 split. Thank you very much.

:49:54. > :49:56.When you think of reducing air pollution, you probably think

:49:57. > :49:59.of electric cars and energy efficient light bulbs, but academics

:50:00. > :50:01.at Birmingham University believe pigeons are the answer.

:50:02. > :50:05.City Flocks is a new project which sends pigeons with sensors

:50:06. > :50:07.strapped to their backs off into the sky to record more accurate

:50:08. > :50:20.Graham Satchell went to watch their maiden flight.

:50:21. > :50:27.Can pigeons help us in the battle against air pollution? Brilliant. I

:50:28. > :50:32.think this is going to work really well today... It sounds far-fetched

:50:33. > :50:35.but academics from Birmingham university are convinced they can.

:50:36. > :50:40.Everybody I've brought into it, they sort of first give me the look that

:50:41. > :50:46.maybe you're giving me, where it's sort of, is this for real, is this

:50:47. > :50:50.actually going to work? ! We have a super fast temperature sensor.

:50:51. > :51:00.Climate specialist Rick Thomas is planning to strap these tiny sensor

:51:01. > :51:03.packs to the Backs of pigeons. If we know the temperature on the roof

:51:04. > :51:07.tops, we can test the air pollution. Time for the test flight.

:51:08. > :51:14.Fitting the sensors is a delicate operation. Hello, my little

:51:15. > :51:17.friend... They are tiny, just 5% of the pigeon's weight to protect the

:51:18. > :51:21.welfare of the birds. One of the pigeons is fitted with a

:51:22. > :51:26.tiny camera to record the flight. Much is resting on the next few

:51:27. > :51:30.minutes. I feel nervous. It's the first time that we've done this.

:51:31. > :51:34.It's a culmination of many months of work to get to this stage and I

:51:35. > :51:39.think they're just going to take off and find their way home. I cross my

:51:40. > :51:48.fingers for that. It is the moment of truth.

:51:49. > :51:56.Oh, yes. That is them, yes. Wow. Didn't see the devices fall off when

:51:57. > :52:02.they flew off. They were still on them. They look happy enough. They

:52:03. > :52:10.look like pigeons flying to me, did they to you? Yes. The pigeons will

:52:11. > :52:14.fly just over a mile, this is disorientating view from pigeon cam,

:52:15. > :52:19.but what is it scientists are trying to discover?

:52:20. > :52:22.They already know that nitrous oxide, the pollution that comes out

:52:23. > :52:26.of diesel engines rises with the heat coming from roads and buildings

:52:27. > :52:32.to roof top level. But what happens to the pollution next? Where does it

:52:33. > :52:35.go? To model it, they need accurate temperature measurements in this

:52:36. > :52:40.microclimate, but how to get to data? I kind of thought, well,

:52:41. > :52:44.birds, they fly everywhere, if they could carry our sensors, if our

:52:45. > :52:46.sensors could be accurate enough, we could start to understand the

:52:47. > :52:51.dispersion of air pollution around the city.

:52:52. > :52:57.Just six minutes after taking off, the pigeons are back. Oh, brilliant.

:52:58. > :53:06.There is an anxious wait as the sensor is retrieved. The lights that

:53:07. > :53:10.are flashing are a good sign. First of all the file is big enough.

:53:11. > :53:15.Second thing is, there's wiggles. This is what the data shows. The

:53:16. > :53:18.route taken by the pigeons and critically the temperature just

:53:19. > :53:22.above the roof tops. This information will help to model how

:53:23. > :53:27.pollution moves around big cities. Rick and the team say it will be

:53:28. > :53:31.used by planners for example to help decide where to build hospitals and

:53:32. > :53:36.schools. It could give us much more accurate street by street air

:53:37. > :53:41.pollution for casts. -- forecasts. What is this pigeon called? I

:53:42. > :53:46.haven't got a name for him. I call him number 80. It's not a

:53:47. > :53:50.particularly heroic name, but pigeon number 80 we salute you, and your

:53:51. > :53:52.contribution to the fight against air pollution! Graham Satchell, BBC

:53:53. > :53:57.News. And here with us on the sofa

:53:58. > :54:06.is Rick Thomas from We saw you pioneering the project

:54:07. > :54:09.there. The idea is, you have tried it out now and we can see clearly

:54:10. > :54:13.the differences in temperatures. Where do you want to take it from

:54:14. > :54:17.here? The next stage is to make flights in the urban area, to fly

:54:18. > :54:21.above the roof tops in this area where it's difficult to make

:54:22. > :54:27.measurements by any other means and start to compare to it the models.

:54:28. > :54:31.How does temperature help us to understand pollution specifically?

:54:32. > :54:38.When you fly over an area, what does it tell us about the air? It's about

:54:39. > :54:42.the movement of air. Temperature, pollution and winds are connected

:54:43. > :54:46.and related to each other. If we can understand how temperature moves

:54:47. > :54:49.around the city, that will help us to understand the movement of

:54:50. > :54:58.pollution, particularly gases and particles. Also, we have urban heat

:54:59. > :55:03.effects, so during heatwaves, when pollution builds up, then not only

:55:04. > :55:05.do we have the pollution, we also have temperature effects on

:55:06. > :55:09.vulnerable people in the urban areas. You talk about the island

:55:10. > :55:13.effect. From what I understand it, it can move from one place to

:55:14. > :55:16.another, is that what you are trying to find out, where for example might

:55:17. > :55:20.be good to build a certain type of building? That is right, yes. We

:55:21. > :55:26.have this sort of heat dome in theory above a city and it can move

:55:27. > :55:30.the pollution upwards, transport to the atmosphere then could sink

:55:31. > :55:35.somewhere else, so it's where in that urban landscape will it go, and

:55:36. > :55:40.where shouldn't we build things like hospitals or schools. It's a bit

:55:41. > :55:43.like how traditionally the West End of cities are always where the posh

:55:44. > :55:48.buildings are because the prevailing wind comes from the west so you get

:55:49. > :55:52.the clean air, here we have a nuance of that, so clean air in different

:55:53. > :55:59.areas. It's all to do with this technology. We have our plastic

:56:00. > :56:04.pigeon here which we are going to name later. We have all heard the

:56:05. > :56:09.phrase cat amongst the pigeons and your wife who designs these is

:56:10. > :56:14.bizarrely called Cat. I know, as fate would have it! I looked for

:56:15. > :56:19.pigeon harnesses online and funnily enough you can't find them. Not a

:56:20. > :56:24.regular search! She custom-makes the harnesses does she? That's right, we

:56:25. > :56:30.want them to fit very well to each widgeon and she measures them. Is it

:56:31. > :56:33.OK, I mean you are working with people that own the pigeons, is it

:56:34. > :56:39.fine for them to be flying with them, is it? We have used pigeons in

:56:40. > :56:46.this capacity for many years and their welfare is fundamental to us.

:56:47. > :56:55.We'd habit wait them to the harness, see if they like it, if they don't

:56:56. > :57:01.like it, we use another one and keep going until they like it.

:57:02. > :57:07.Unscientific vote, thousands of viewers got involved. Last place

:57:23. > :57:28.That is the winner. Thank you very much. Thank you.

:57:29. > :57:30.All this week we're looking at what different groups of people

:57:31. > :57:33.want from the Chancellor's Budget tomorrow - in what we're calling

:57:34. > :57:40.and today it's the turn of those born in the '60s and '70s.

:57:41. > :57:43.We've sent Steph out to a family run business in North Yorkshire,

:57:44. > :57:47.which employs many from Generation X.

:57:48. > :57:53.Steph, we have seen about 10,000 sausages this morning! We are now at

:57:54. > :57:59.60,000 sausages! Good morning everyone. Let me show you what we've

:58:00. > :58:03.got here. This is one of the lines making a classic pork sausage.

:58:04. > :58:08.60,000 I've seen coming off this line over the last three hours, so

:58:09. > :58:11.very, very busy here. But this is a family-run business, lots of people

:58:12. > :58:16.who work here are part of what we call the Generation X, those born

:58:17. > :58:20.between 1966 and 1980. We can have a chat to a couple of them. We have

:58:21. > :58:23.Sam here first of all and Becky. Sam, tell us a bit about what you

:58:24. > :58:30.are bothered about in life because you are a father of five children, I

:58:31. > :58:34.believe, aren't you? Yes, I am. I'm worried about their future,

:58:35. > :58:38.especially in the political landscape that we are in. I wonder

:58:39. > :58:43.whether they are going to be able to pay rent, find a job, let alone buy

:58:44. > :58:47.a house. That's my biggest worry at the moment. You are worried about

:58:48. > :58:51.your kids. What about your daily life, do you struggle for money

:58:52. > :58:57.because you have so many kids? It's always a struggle. Particularly

:58:58. > :59:02.energy bills, food costs. It's a living hand to mouth sort of thing,

:59:03. > :59:06.just about managing. So you are one of those just about managing that we

:59:07. > :59:12.have heard politicians talk about. Becky, what about you, tell us what

:59:13. > :59:16.you are bothered about? My concern is higher education for my

:59:17. > :59:22.15-year-old son, I would like to see investment from the Government in

:59:23. > :59:26.apprenticeships so they can prepare them for life, work and yes, so

:59:27. > :59:32.that's one of my concerns. And again for you, do you find life a struggle

:59:33. > :59:37.or is it going all right for you? We manage, but we manage well. I'm very

:59:38. > :59:44.strict on, you foe, what we spend our money on and I like to save as

:59:45. > :59:47.much as I can but then enjoy a nice holiday once a year. Thank you very

:59:48. > :59:52.much. Look at what we've done, we have broke the machine again!

:59:53. > :59:59.Seriously, every time I turn up something goes wrong. Sorry! A

:00:00. > :00:06.couple of experts here, Helen and Finula.

:00:07. > :00:13.We were hearing about energy bills and the future of people's

:00:14. > :00:16.education, what can the Chancellor do to help people? What the

:00:17. > :00:21.Chancellor can do is to help people who are going to be squeezed by

:00:22. > :00:26.rising prices and falling incomes for people who are already on low

:00:27. > :00:29.incomes for the next few years. He can help by unfreezing benefits so

:00:30. > :00:33.the benefits keep up with rising prices and let families keep more of

:00:34. > :00:44.what they earn before benefits start to be withdrawn so they can cover

:00:45. > :00:46.the cost of essentials each week. Something like freezing benefits

:00:47. > :00:49.that works out as costing ?4.2 billion. Where will that money come

:00:50. > :00:51.from? Some of the money could be found by pausing on tax cuts for the

:00:52. > :00:57.richest half of the country which are likely to cost over ?2 billion a

:00:58. > :00:59.year, and actually directing that money towards ordinary working

:01:00. > :01:05.families who will be struggling more over the next few years would be a

:01:06. > :01:09.better investment at this point. You mentioned taxes. There are some tax

:01:10. > :01:15.changes coming in which will affect some of the people. Just tell us a

:01:16. > :01:34.bit about them and what else we can expect? We are expecting

:01:35. > :01:37.some changes to the taxation of self-employed people. It is thought

:01:38. > :01:40.the level of national insurance contributions will be aligned to the

:01:41. > :01:41.level who are employed. A slightly controversial measure for people who

:01:42. > :01:44.are on zero hours contracts. We're also seeing a change to salary

:01:45. > :01:46.sacrifice schemes where if you sacrifice some of your salary you

:01:47. > :01:50.will get benefits and they are saying you do not get tax advantages

:01:51. > :01:54.if you get, for example, school fees paid or accommodation, but they are

:01:55. > :02:00.preserving the benefits if you make salary sacrifices and it goes

:02:01. > :02:02.towards pension contributions or childcare or workplace nurseries.

:02:03. > :02:07.There is a bit of give and take but we will have to wait and see if

:02:08. > :02:11.there are any major surprises coming up on Wednesday. We will find out

:02:12. > :02:17.tomorrow. Ladies, thank you very much. I will leave you with

:02:18. > :02:24.sausages. This one is working. This is what I like to call the Dan pork

:02:25. > :02:29.sausage machine. I have been trying to think of one which rhymes with

:02:30. > :02:33.Louise Minchin but I have been struggling to get a sausage pun. It

:02:34. > :02:36.is probably best that you left it like that, thank you for not finding

:02:37. > :02:40.one! Cool and artless! Let's take a last, brief

:02:41. > :04:14.look at the headlines Now though it's back

:04:15. > :04:16.to Louise and Dan. More than 100 children lose a parent

:04:17. > :04:40.or relatives in the UK every year. Now a new documentary follows eight

:04:41. > :04:43.families who are starting to rebuild their lives as they come

:04:44. > :04:45.to terms with their grief. We'll speak to Gemma Allen

:04:46. > :04:47.from Winston's Wish, a charity which helps bereaved

:04:48. > :04:50.children, and Jackie Hunter who looks after her three

:04:51. > :04:52.granddaughters after their mother Before we talk to them,

:04:53. > :05:02.let's take a look at the programme. When we have met with you, one of

:05:03. > :05:07.the things that pretty much most of you have said is you don't know

:05:08. > :05:14.anybody else who has had a mum, dad, brother or sister killed. So we

:05:15. > :05:18.brought you all here together for this opportunity to meet others, so

:05:19. > :05:22.hopefully it feels that you are not alone, that there are other people

:05:23. > :05:30.who get it and have experienced something similar. So if I start. I

:05:31. > :05:40.am Gemma and I have come to the weekend to remember my mum Diana. I

:05:41. > :05:46.am Claire and I have come to remember my mum Haley and my dad

:05:47. > :05:55.David. I have come to remember my stepdad. My name is Lottie and I

:05:56. > :06:00.have come to remember my mum and dad. My name is Lillian and I have

:06:01. > :06:03.come to remember my money. Gemma who we heard in that clip

:06:04. > :06:06.and Jackie whose granddaughters took part in the documentary

:06:07. > :06:12.are with us now. Thank you so much for coming in to

:06:13. > :06:16.talk to us. I suppose we had a little bit of detail there but it

:06:17. > :06:21.would be really helpful if you could tell us the story of what happened

:06:22. > :06:26.with your own family. My daughter was murdered by her husband and she

:06:27. > :06:31.had got three children. Basically, we took over looking after the three

:06:32. > :06:36.children and bringing them up. That is an incredibly hard thing to have

:06:37. > :06:41.to do. Presumably, they are young girls and they ask questions which

:06:42. > :06:45.are difficult to answer? Ferry difficult. There are some questions

:06:46. > :06:51.you don't know the answer to. What can you say? You don't know why.

:06:52. > :06:57.When you get asked those impossible questions, Gemma, how due process

:06:58. > :07:01.that? How to help that process? It is really hard for children because

:07:02. > :07:06.even for adults and parents, to be able to take on board some of that

:07:07. > :07:10.information is incredibly difficult, and the feeling, knowing that at

:07:11. > :07:15.some point you will have to impart that to your child is really, really

:07:16. > :07:21.difficult. What we do at Winston's Wish is we work with families like

:07:22. > :07:25.Jackie's and the three girls, to talk to them about starting

:07:26. > :07:29.difficult conversations. We come in and help facilitate those. It is

:07:30. > :07:36.really important for families to continue those open and honest

:07:37. > :07:40.conversations because children need age-appropriate, clear understanding

:07:41. > :07:45.of what happened. What we see in this documentary, lots of different

:07:46. > :07:49.families, you take them on a weekend and separate the adults from the

:07:50. > :07:53.children. What you seem to say is getting a hold of the narrative,

:07:54. > :07:59.getting hold of the facts for children can make a big difference?

:08:00. > :08:05.Because what can happen is if children don't have as much

:08:06. > :08:08.information as possible and what is appropriate for their age and stage

:08:09. > :08:11.and advancement, they will often be thinking about it anyway, and that

:08:12. > :08:15.can be far more devastating for them than actually being given the

:08:16. > :08:19.correct facts. Let me show you another clip from the programme. You

:08:20. > :08:25.talk about children knowing what happened so they can control what

:08:26. > :08:30.happened. What the most helpful thing you can do is to get your

:08:31. > :08:34.story out so you can be in control of when you want to put it back and

:08:35. > :08:43.pressed play again and think about it. Children need to have an

:08:44. > :08:48.age-appropriate, clear and coherent story, and narrative around what

:08:49. > :08:55.happened. If they don't, what they imagine, what they visualise will be

:08:56. > :09:03.worse than the actual event itself. Maybe on this little bit you could

:09:04. > :09:14.say what happened? The police took us to the next door neighbour. Why

:09:15. > :09:22.had the police come? I didn't know. But you know now, don't you? Yes.

:09:23. > :09:28.Why were the police that? Because of the murder.

:09:29. > :09:31.That is Lottie, your youngest granddaughter talking. I have

:09:32. > :09:36.watched that and it is very upsetting, to see what they have had

:09:37. > :09:39.to go through. How are they coping now and are you still getting

:09:40. > :09:44.questions and how to deal with what they want to know? They are still

:09:45. > :09:50.asking questions. Chloe the other day came down and she was crying. I

:09:51. > :09:55.said what is the matter? She said, I have just realised I have nobody to

:09:56. > :10:02.walk me down the aisle when you get married -- when I get married. I

:10:03. > :10:08.said, you are 13, you do not have to worry about that. But I know I can

:10:09. > :10:15.ring Gemma or Dan at Winston's Wish and they can speak to her and find

:10:16. > :10:19.the right way to speak to them. We talk about anniversaries, often it

:10:20. > :10:23.is important dates which can trigger the emotions? Mother's Day,

:10:24. > :10:28.Christmas and Father's Day are really emotional. And to help people

:10:29. > :10:34.through the milestones? With the support we offer at Winston's Wish,

:10:35. > :10:38.we work with families, it could be a couple of months or a few years, but

:10:39. > :10:42.the offer of support is available for families to dip in and out as

:10:43. > :10:46.they need to and as Jackie said, families, if we are not currently

:10:47. > :10:50.working with them, they might get back in touch to ask for suggestions

:10:51. > :10:54.and ask for support and round significant dates which are coming

:10:55. > :10:59.up for them. How did you get involved with Winston's Wish

:11:00. > :11:03.yourself the first time? Are used to volunteer for Winston's Wish. I was

:11:04. > :11:07.a clinical volunteer on the residential weekends we run. And

:11:08. > :11:16.from being involved there and perhaps doing two groups a year, it

:11:17. > :11:18.just felt something that was really important to me. From my own

:11:19. > :11:21.personal experience, I know the importance of the work we do at

:11:22. > :11:24.Winston's Wish to enable children to have support at the right time and

:11:25. > :11:29.most importantly, one of the biggest things is for them to be able to

:11:30. > :11:34.meet other children in a similar situations. One of the points you

:11:35. > :11:38.make is that none of it is their fault, is it? And that is something

:11:39. > :11:43.for them to take away from the weekend, is it? Guess, because that

:11:44. > :11:47.is something children do experience. They go through our whole variety of

:11:48. > :11:53.feelings and emotions but the guilt can be a really big factor. In the

:11:54. > :11:56.family sessions that we do but also on the residential weekend, it is

:11:57. > :11:59.about inviting children to share their experiences and their

:12:00. > :12:03.difficult feelings with one another so they have an opportunity for

:12:04. > :12:08.those to be normalised and validated. I hope this does not

:12:09. > :12:11.sound like an ignorant question, I do not mean it, but there might be

:12:12. > :12:15.people watching this who go through the same emotions you're going

:12:16. > :12:23.through, does it get easier to deal with? I'm sure it does not go away

:12:24. > :12:27.entirely. You never get used to it. Sometimes when the kids do something

:12:28. > :12:32.I think, I will phone their mum. It is that sort of thing, you tend to

:12:33. > :12:36.forget at times. The kids do forget and get on with their lives. At

:12:37. > :12:44.certain times they do seem to remember it and that is when it is

:12:45. > :12:50.hardest. And four friends etc, how to deal with them and help them help

:12:51. > :12:56.children because people do not want to mention it? The kids do, they are

:12:57. > :13:01.not bothered. Someone will say your mum and dad and they will say, no,

:13:02. > :13:07.that is my Nan and grandad, my parents are dead. They are brutally

:13:08. > :13:11.honest. People tend to treat them normally which helps. It is a

:13:12. > :13:13.fascinating programme. Thank you very much.
