Also this morning: Hundreds of millions of pounds of extra

funding to set up new schools, but teaching unions say the money

Tomorrow the Chancellor will unveil his last spring Budget.

All this week on Breakfast, we are looking at what it means

Today we are talking about Generation X, those born between

1966 and 1980. I am at a sausage factory in North Yorkshire to talk

to the people here about what they think about the economy.

They are ten points clear at the top of the Premier League,

And the pigeon patrol that is helping scientists fight air

And Carol has joined us in the studio for the weather.

Good morning. It is likely to be here although it is chilly outside

if you are just stepping out. For many of us it will be a dry start

and a sparkly one with a weather front coming in from the south-west

introducing some rain later on. I will have more in 15 minutes.

First, our main story: Facebook's procedures for vetting content

on its pages have been strongly criticised,

after a BBC investigation found it was failing to remove

inappropriate and sexualised images of children.

The chair of the commons media committee, Damian Collins,

has said it casts grave doubts on the effectiveness

Our correspondent Angus Crawford reports.

The rules are simple. Facebook says it removes nudity or sexually

suggestive content. But our investigation last year found

paedophiles using secret groups to swap obscene images of children. We

informed the police, and this man was sent to prison for four years.

Facebook told us it had improved its systems, so we put that to the test.

We still found sexualised pictures of children, and obscene comments

from men. We reported 100 posts that we felt broke Facebook's own

guidelines. Only 18 were taken down. 82 images stayed up. They didn't

breach Facebook's community standards. I find it very

disturbing. I find that content unacceptable. I am concerned that

that has been brought to Facebook's attention, and some of those images

have not been dealt with and addressed, and this report, this

investigation, it casts great doubt on effectiveness of the measures

Facebook has in place. Facebook asked us to send examples of what we

had reported. So we did. The company then reported us to the police.

Facebook issued a statement saying...

But even now, groups with inappropriate images and comments

about children remained on Facebook. Questions about how the company

moderates content won't go away. We will be talking to a former

Facebook executive at around An extra 320 million for new school

places in England will be confirmed It will go towards the Government's

existing free school programme, and could be used to

support the opening of any Labour has criticised the move

for failing to address funding pressures faced by schools,

but Theresa May insists it is part of her plan to make a good education

accessible to every child. Well, of course we have protected

the court schools Budget that crucially what we are announcing his

?500 million of investment in schools, ?320 million of which will

be new schools. That will create around 70,000 new school places.

What this is about is ensuring that people can know that their child

will have a good school place, and all the opportunities that that

provides for them. Our political correspondent

Ellie Price joins us from It is interesting, isn't it, funding

for new schools were other schools are already concerned about funding.

That's right, ?320 million of this, as you have just heard, will go

towards funding those new Free Schools, about 140 of them. So that

is the majority of the money. Then the rest of it is money going

towards refurbishing the old buildings of existing schools. If we

start with that one first, there was a report out a few weeks ago that

suggested that there was a bill of about ?6.5 billion that needed to be

spent on bringing up the buildings of existing schools to a

satisfactory standard. You would need to spend another ?7 billion on

them to bring them up to a good standard. So if you think about

that, ?216 million that is being talked about this morning is really

small fry compared to that. Adding to that conversation is being had

around the country with head teachers who are complaining about

the ballooning costs of... Running costs, at a time when spending per

pupil has been reduced, it would seem that unfortunately all this

money seems to be rather small fry. Thank you very much.

A British backpacker has been rescued by police officers

in Australia, after allegedly being held against her will for more

She is said to have been raped and assaulted.

The woman was rescued by police when they pulled over the vehicle

she was driving and noticed she had serious injuries to her face.

Our correspondent Hywel Griffith is in Sydney.

Yes, the police say the woman went through a catastrophic ordeal. She

was actually pulled over because she had failed to pay for fuel survey

had been warned by the petrol station. However, when they found

her she was extremely distressed and had severe injuries to her face. In

the back of the vehicle, they allege, 22-year-old man was hiding

them. They say he had kept her against her will for the course of

about nine weeks. At a press conference moments ago we heard from

the Detective Inspector, Paul Hart. Police subsequently spoke at length

with that female, who has been identified as a 22-year-old tourist

from the UK. She advised that, over a period of weeks, she had been held

against her will by the Mail person located in the vehicle. It was

established that they had previously had a relationship, but at some

point that had soured and he had basically deprived her of her

liberty, committed a number of offences against her as they

travelled around the state, culminating in their location in

Mitchell. That Mail person has since been remanded in custody, and will

appear in court in about a week's time in relation to those charges.

We understand that the woman had been in Australia since 2015 but key

to this, police allege the man had damaged her passport to try and make

sure that she couldn't flee. He faces multiple charges of rape, as

you heard, assault, Strang deletion, and will appear in court next week.

We understand that she has received treatment for her injuries. She has

been supported by the British high commission here and she has been

able to speak to members of her family back in the UK. But as I

said, police are saying that this is a catastrophic case which has really

upset many people within the backpacking community, Queensland

and Australia as a whole, are very popular destination for people

travelling here. The Government is facing

the prospect of another defeat in the House of Lords over

the process of leaving the EU today. Peers are to vote on an amendment

to the Brexit Bill which calls for Parliament to be given

a meaningful vote on a final deal. The Prime Minister has said

Parliament will have a vote, but only on a "take it

or leave it" basis. Last week the Upper House voted

to guarantee the rights of EU The former Conservative leader

Lord Hague has urged the Prime Minister to seek

an early general election. Writing in the Daily Telegraph,

he said this would strengthen the Government's hand,

and help the UK secure a better deal Theresa May has repeatedly ruled out

going to the country before the next New figures show police forces

in England and Wales received one call every 90 seconds

about a missing person last year. That is an increase of 15%

on the previous year. Police chiefs believe the ageing

population could be one reason Margaret Cooper is still searching

for her son, Steven, nine years on, after he disappeared

from his home in Huddersfield. He was last seen in Scotland,

but despite police searches, he has

never been found. That's the worst thing,

is not knowing. If you've got a body,

because he's died, you can have a grave or whatever,

and you can put flowers When you've no idea

what's happened to them, On average last year,

370 people went missing every day, with police forces receiving

over 300,000 calls, The majority forces

say they are dealing I think the general public are more

aware around people gone missing. I think our practices have improved,

which again will account for a rise in the numbers that

we are recording. There is not one reason

why people go missing, Where it's an adult

that's gone missing, it can be a sign of mental health

issues, of relationship Where it's a child or a young

person, it's often a sign that there's something

wrong in the home. Whatever the cause,

for those left behind, there are only memories

to cling to, and questions A Conservative backbencher

is attempting to reverse Government plans to end the Dubs scheme,

under which unaccompanied migrant children who don't have relatives

in the UK are given refuge here. The MP Heidi Allen is tabling

an amendment to legislation going through the House

of Commons today. Last month the Government announced

that it was limiting the scheme A card which has been sent

by a father and daughter to each other on their birthdays

in Oxfordshire on 10 February. You would think it would be there by

now, wouldn't you? Come on, rack first viewers. We can track this

down. -- Breakfast viewers. It is probably still in the envelope. That

is very true. I'm sorry, with the logic and everything. Up until that

moment it was a brilliant plan. I was thinking maybe a postcard, but

obviously not. Let's find it anyway! Motivation for the nation. Carol is

deficit to Bayern Munich, if they are to progress

to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Bournemouth's Tyrone

Mings have been charged by the FA with violent conduct.

Mings appeared to stamp on the head of the United forward,

The pair have until this evening to respond to the charges.

And the England women's cricket team will make history when they play

the first-ever day-night Ashes Test against Australia in November.

The match will be played in Sydney, starting on 9 November.

We will have the papers from you as well in a minute. On that, I wanted

to know, I have never spoken to you about this, pineapple on a pizza,

yes or no? No. Pineapple? Definitely. We will discuss it in

our paper review in a few minutes' time, just a little tease for you

there. In the meantime, while we wait for that, Carol is here.

The temperatures are at freezing or even plus four. Widespread frost. A

largely dry start start to the day. It won't stay that way through the

day. A clump of fronts from the Atlantic bringing cloud and rain to

start with. Later on, heavy rain. Frost and rain in the winds and some

cloud around. Still some rain in the Northern Isles. Steady in

Aberdeenshire. It will go away from there Ahead to the Northern Isles.

South, a lot of loose guys. -- blue skies. With showers, hit and miss.

The London area, cloud producing drizzly conditions first thing. The

south-west, at this stage, largely dry. However, as we go through the

day, here come the fronts introducing some lighter rain at

this stage and drizzle and low cloud associated with it. You will find

the cloud will build, spoiling earlier sunshine. For many of us,

the temperatures will die out. Seven - 11. Through the course of the

evening and overnight, that weather front coming in from the south-west

will turn more heavy and the rain move towards eastern areas. Again,

windy conditions. Transience know that will quickly turn back into

rain to be the first front moves into the North Sea. -- transient

snow. Murky in the southern counties. Tomorrow, starting with

rain and clad in the south. A blustery day. Clearer skies and

sunshine. Still quite breezy in major. A lot of low cloud associated

with this weather front. Mild. 14 degrees. Not pleasant because of

other elements. As we go further north, in the sunshine, 7- 12 will

look rather nice. This mild theme does continue as we head on into the

weekend. Then it turns colder and then it turns more mild. Oh my

goodness. Very topsy-turvy. As promised, the front pages. The

Times. Leading on the story of Donald Trump hitting out at the FBI

in the Obama wiretap row. Barack Obama leaving the national Gallery

of art in Washington. A little wave to his public. The latest Harry

Potter programme in the theatre. Wheel it sweep the board in the 2017

Oliviers? And Theresa May could pave the way for a new generation of

grammar schools as the council uses the budget to push on with a

controversial policy seen as a priority for the Prime Minister. And

most of the papers have picked up on the grammar school side of it but

you can also turn a free school into any sort of school you want to. And

The Express. Blood-pressure breakthrough. They can treat

millions of. And Nurse Gilbert. I was watching it last night. It was

so good. Eight happy ever after? I hope so. --A. I worry about these

things. They are talking about the school story here. The Mirror. Paul

will tie the knot with his boyfriend. And the fact that Chelsea

are steamrolling ahead in the Premier League. And the Times are

saying that David of Arsenal, David Ospina, maybe leaving the club. I

told you about the row with Alexis Sanchez and Arsene Wenger. Alexis

Sanchez is apparently not very popular with the squad. Will he go?

And Mesut Ozil has not signed a contract yet. And now Ospina is

possibly on his way out as well. Troubling times for Arsenal. And

Arsene Wenger, the fact that the manager may not be staying.

Troubling times. I am sure Arsenal fans are quite worried. I wonder how

it will play at. A massive match tonight. A massive match against

Bayern Munich. Weirder things have happened. I was talking about

pineapple. Most people are angry about pineapple on pizza. We are not

worried about it. I am not. Some people get annoyed. 52% of people

according to this YouGov poll enjoyed it. That is higher than

spinach and sweetcorn. You would not expect that. What is your view? I

put an apple on everything. -- pineapple. I love it. I am a big

supporter. So, there you go. There you go, Two in, one out. Thank you

very much, Jessica, see you later. It's the second day

of our budget road trip. Yesterday, we looked

at what millennials, those born in the 80s

and 90s, want to hear Today, we're taking a look

at what Generation X, those born between 1966

and 1980, want to see. Steph's at a family run

business in North Yorkshire Look at that. A sea of hairnets. I

love a hairnet, let me tell you. I am at a sausage factory. Many

sausages will be running off of this. They make 300,000 of them a

day! You will see these in many supermarkets around the country and

they are literally just getting set up for the day. I am definitely in

the way for this one. We are here to talk about the economy and the

budget coming up in the next couple of days. As you said, one of the big

areas we are focusing on is how it affects different generations.

Breakfast's John Maguire went to meet some Gen X'ers to get there and

get their opinions. St David's Day, the first day of

spring. We are in Pontypool to find out how people are coping. I love my

job. I see a lot of people that are managing. I am barely managing. And

yet I am working. I think that is very, very unfair. They are trying

to put people back into work but it is not very easy. I think wages

should go up quite a bit more than the budget so we can cope. And what

can the Chancellor do for the town? So, money for youth centres, please.

Who are Generation X? Let us take a spin about the BBC Breakfast table

to find out. Generation X born between 1970 and 1980 are at the

peak of their careers and are bringing up children. They are

feeling the effects of large cuts to welfare. They have fallen between

the cracks when it comes to pension saving. We are talking to them now.

We are just about managing with the budget. Just about managing. As you

said, both of you and your wife work. My wife is a social worker. I

work part time just to get by. We save money for childcare. Gareth

hopes the budget will help. Increase tax credits. Would that help you?

Yes. And as for pensions? My parents are lucky enough to be retired for

ten years. They have gone all over the world. My father has a

retirement pension. I look at myself, and I think I will not be

able to do that. I really don't do the I think they were the lucky

generation. At the top of Wendy's budget wish list is help for the

next generations. Help the cost of universities for our children. As

the narration ex- took its first tentative steps, they provided one

of the best forwards in rugby. -- Generation X. They are at a meet and

greet in the town's indoor market. There is a mini Stepford. Peter has

been running this business for ten years. It is tough. People have less

money in their pockets and are more fussy about how they spend and they

want value. There is a lot of competition in the food business is

well. It is not that straightforward. What can Philip

Hammond do for him? Help the economies. Help the business rates.

Economy is to provide work for almost everyone here has almost

disappeared. -- the economy that use to. And for those who grew up in the

70s, 80s, and 90s, it seems like a completely different life. What can

the budget provide for their future? John Maguire, BBC News, Pontypool.

We will talk about the issues they were talking about there throughout

the programme. Many experts coming to talk about that topic will show

you how they make sausages because it is fascinating. This is the

chicken Italia. And pork sausages over there about to go into the

mixer. And over here, you can see that they zip along. Typical. Every

time they come to me it stops again. It will not be long. I will

definitely show you all of the sausages. The girls are here and

they are packing it into the boxes. There you go. The first few are

coming through, obviously. They will get taken off. It is really

fascinating to see, isn't it? More from me a little bit later on. Thank

you. I am speechless. I don't know what to say. More on that later.

Interesting. When we go outside on broadcast businesses, it is almost

always transfixing. And hairnets at dawn.

Can pigeons help in the battle

We'll show how the tiny technology being strapped on to birds

could help us see how toxic the air is.

We don't have a pigeon. But we kind of do. This is a plastic pigeon.

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

his wife makes these, and her name is Cat. So she is quite literally a

cat among the pigeons. This pigeon needs a name. Every pigeon needs a

name. I am nervous about this topic send something ridiculous to ask.

That would be wonderful. -- Hello, this is Breakfast

Six years of war in Syria has led to a mental health crisis among

the country's children, according to the charity

In a report based on 450 interviews with children,

adolescents and adults, the organisation said bed-wetting,

aggression and problems with speech were common.

Joining us now is Saida Salam from Save the Children.

Good morning to you. An amazing and battling statistic, 5.8 million

children in need of aid in Syria, about 2.5 million children at risk

of developing a mental health disorder and also a lot of talk in

this report about toxic stress, basically we have explained exactly

what that is and how that affects children particularly. Absolutely,

so as you mention this is one of the largest and most competence of

studies into the state of mental health that children are

experiencing inside Syria and what we have seen is nearly 3 million

children have grown up knowing nothing but this very bloody war and

they have suffered atrocities that no child should have to face. They

have been tortured, shot at, targeted, many have seen their loved

ones killed in front of them, and what we're finding is this

protracted exposure to this level of bloody mess and this level of

conflict, coupled with the deprivation children are facing in

terms of their basic needs like food and water is leading to this

condition called toxic stress which many children are now experiencing.

We spoke earlier about the symptoms that manifests itself with, so 70%

of children we spoke to reported that children were frequently

bedwetting and 48% talked about children experiencing speech

impediments. I think what is most heartbreaking is to hear the

experiences of toxic stress from the children themselves so we have

spoken to children, had conversations with five-year-old

children, where a gust of wind lowing a door shut makes them

scream, where a five-year-old keeps shouting repeatedly I hate the

aeroplanes, they killed my father, louder and louder. And children talk

about fear, they talk about the plane near their homes. They talk

about fear going to school. And that is really distressing because

schools should be safe havens and places of sanctuary for children. In

Syria what has happened is every day on average our school has been

targeted twice a day since the start of the conflict. These are not safe

places any more, for kids. But what is really distressing as they are

scared to go to school but they are also really distraught about their

future without an education. This is one of the most telling things about

the report is that children are experiencing this toxic stress but

most of the children we are speaking to a still resilient, they have

dreams, they want to go on and become doctors and nurses. They do

want a childhood, they do want an education, which is good news.

Given, and it is quite understandable, how they feel, given

that the situation they are in now, how can you make it better? Can it

be a positive outcome for them, from a mental health point of view?

Absolutely, so the number one thing we need is for the cause of this

toxic stress the end, which is the violent and we need to put all the

pressure began on the parties to the conflict and the violence, and the

UN member states to uphold their own obligations. We don't need to wait

for that solution to meet this human need. So we have been operating with

our partners inside Syria since 2013, reaching 1.5 million children

with ASIC needs, food, water, medicine, but also really basic

psychological first aid which can involve really simple things like

drawing, art therapy, training teachers, parents, caregivers

themselves. And safe places to play. Safe places to play, and we have to

be quite inventive they are so teachers have started running

schools underground so that they are able to avoid the bombings. We have

had to move people around, we have had to convert homes and mosques so

that we can create these kind of safe play areas for children. But

that is an absolute lifeline and one of the things we need now at Save

the Children is to scale up the work, because it is not too late and

we can reverse the damage done by this toxic stress, which can go on

the adult hood, but we need more funding and we need to scale up. One

of the problems is our funding cycle is a very short term, four the six

months are just as the child is starting to talk about their

distress and make progress, the programme has to close and that

lifeline for a child is ended. You're watching

Ahead of it will build. You will find there will be milky sunshine.

Temperature-wise, not in bad shape. Only five in the Northern Isles to

be cold. Seven, eight, nine, up to 11. The afternoon and the evening

and overnight, although it will feel cold under the band of rain, through

the overnight period, the temperatures in the south-western

parts of Wales will actually go up. Rain will continue to move steadily

across the British Isles. Transient snow in the hills of Scotland. That

is the first weather front going through. This is the second one in

the south. Quite a cloudy and murky night in southern areas leading us

into a cloudy and murky start to the day tomorrow. A lot of cloud and

rain. At times, the rain will be heavy. Mostly it will not. Moving

north, that band of rain, although it will be a windy day, sunshine in

double figures. The Northern Isles, ten, 11 for most. But 14 towards the

some sunshine to the temperatures are not too bad, actually. 14

the studio, you have brought in chocolate. I hoovered up a bit on

the way to the studio, but I left you some. I bet you are just saying

that. Thank you. It's the second day of our budget

roadshow today, and this week, Steph's out on the road speaking

to different generations We are calling it a generation game.

Is that why I have this coin? Yesterday, it was the millennials,

and today, it's the turn of those We've sent Steph out to a family-run

business in North Yorkshire, which employs many

from Generation X. I think it is quite clear what these

specialised in. Good morning, Steph. Good morning. It is a family run

business. Every time we go live the sausage stopped coming out. We will

definitely see some soon. They are packing them up and sending them to

the supermarket. They make something like 300,000 sausages every single

day. There you go. Lots of different flavours. This one is chicken

Italia, with sundried tomatoes and the like. Tell us about your

business. It is expanding and going well. Yes. We launched in April,

2013. We are the third fastest growing company in the UK. We are

creating further flavours next year. It is a good year. Good to here. You

are part of Generation X which is what we are focusing on today. You

have the budget coming up and a lot of uncertainty. What would make a

difference? Breaks that allow us to keep investing in people. People are

the most important thing. More training for companies like ours to

allow investment to continue. As a family man, this is a family

business, what would help you? What are the precious in your personal

life? Well, we employ a lot of younger people. I know it is hard to

get on the mortgage ladder and start buying a property. Anything that

helps them do that earlier, maybe raising the tax threshold for young

people, allow them some help to get on that later, that would be

important for me. All of this costs money. It is a sacrifice. Are there

any areas you think we should spend less on to help in the areas you

would like? Consecutive governments have really sort of, not, well, you

know, they have allowed private companies like ours to help. But

wasting things in the public sector are a bugbear of ours. They always

come to the private industry to find that gap but it comes down to

business to try to help the mistakes of successive governments. -- fund.

We also have a taxation lawyer. We were just talking about the

pressures on Generation X. Andrew is a businessman and has a family life.

What could be Chancellor do to help Generation X? At the moment, what we

are doing is changing some of the salary sacrificing arrangements.

Previously, if you talk some of your salary in the form of an effort,

there were tax savings for the employer and employee. -- form of

benefits. They are restricting that, but giving the benefit for employer

related childcare. If you have to pay for childcare, you still get

that benefit. They are also keeping it for pension contributions as

well. And for the cycle to work scheme as well. That is good. Also,

you have the lifetime ISA allowance which is basically designed to help

people get on the property ladder. If you were under 40 and invest in

one of these ISAs or your parents do on your behalf, the government will

contribute 35%. We would like to see an increase in that in the budget so

people can save more to enable their children to get a the housing

ladder. You have to stick with us. Later we will talk about them other

things we can expect as well. For now, let me show you this. It is

interesting watching this. It fascinates me. Look at these

sausages. I will show you the other line as but I will leave you with

the chicken Italia this morning. Thank you very much, Steph. They are

so busy. Look at them! Working so hard. A lot of sausages are quite a

lot of breakfast there. When you think of reducing air

pollution, you probably think of electric cars and energy

efficient light bulbs, but academics at Birmingham

University believe pigeons They are not exactly like that

pigeon. That is a stunt pigeon. We have a reason for having that

pigeon, and you will name it later. "City Flocks" is a new project

which sends pigeons with sensors strapped to their backs off

into the sky to record more Breakfast's Graham Satchell went

to watch their maiden flight. Patent pidgins help us in the battle

against air pollution? -- can pigeons. It sounds far-fetched, but

academics at Birmingham university are convinced it can. People give

you the look like you are giving me. It is sort of... Is this for real?

Is this actually going to work as a we have a superfast temperature

sensor... This climate scientist will attach these tiny sensor packs

to the backs of pigeons. If we know the temperature is above the

rooftops, we can test the levels of urban pollution. Time for the test

flight. Fitting the sensors is a delicate operation. Hello, my little

friend. They are tiny, just 5% of the pigeon's weight, to protect the

welfare of the birds. It has a tiny camera to record the flight. Much is

resting on the next few minutes I feel nervous. This is the first time

we have done this. It is the of many hours of work to get to this stage.

I think they will just take off and find their way home. It is the

moment of truth. They looked happy enough. They looked like pidgins

flying to meet. Did they do you? They will fly just over a mile. This

is the disoriented view from the pigeon cam. What is it scientists

are trying to discover? They already know that nitrous oxide, the

pollution that comes out of diesel engines, rises with the heat coming

from roads to rooftop level. But what about the pollution next? Where

does it go? To model it, they need accurate data in this climate. But

how do you get the data? Birds fly everywhere. They could carry our

sensors. If they could be tiny and accurate enough, we could start to

understand the dispersion of air pollution around the city. Just six

minutes after taking off, the pigeons are back. Oh, really and.

There is an anxious wait as it is retrieved. -- brilliant. The light

is still flashing. That is a good sign. This is what the data shows

that be the routes taken by the pigeons and the data above the

rooftops. That is crucial. It will show how it changes across big

cities. It will be used by planners, he says, to see where we should

build hospitals and schools. It could give much more accurate street

by street air pollution forecasts. Number 80, that is his name. It is

not a particularly heroic in an. But Pigeon Number 80, we salute you, and

your work towards a better air quality.

Let's have a look at how the sensor works with our own pigeon

So much information on that. And in less serious news, thank you for all

of the names for the lovely studio pigeon. I think we should save them

for later. What do you think? Could you please stop sending in Pigeon

McPigeon Face? That is my only request. I

But we are looking at quite a lot of low cloud and some spells

I'm back with the latest from the BBC London Newsroom

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

A BBC investigation has found it failed to remove sexualised

A senior MP says the findings cast grave doubts on the effectiveness

Also this morning: Hundreds of millions of pounds of extra

funding to set up new schools, but teaching unions say the money

A British backpacker has been rescued by police in Australia,

after being held captive for two months.

He had basically deprived her of her liberty, admitted a number of

offences against her as they travelled around the state,

culminating in her location. Tomorrow the Chancellor

will unveil his last spring Budget. All this week on Breakfast,

we are looking at what it means Today we are looking at Generation

X, those born between 1966 and 1980. I am at a sausage factory in North

Yorkshire to find out what the Generation X workers here think

about the economy. They are ten points clear at the top

of the Premier League, And the pigeon patrol

that is helping scientists fight air And Carol has joined us

in the studio for the weather. Good morning. Good morning, it is

lovely to be here. Chilly Outside In Salford, the temperature currently

three Celsius. So pretty nippy and cold across many parts of the UK.

Temperatures hovering around freezing two plus four. A fair bit

of sunshine, some frost but rain coming in from the south-west as

well. I will have more in 15 minutes.

First, our main story: Facebook's procedures for vetting content

on its pages have been strongly criticised,

after a BBC investigation found it was failing to remove

inappropriate and sexualised images of children.

The chair of the Commons Media Committee, Damian Collins,

has said it casts grave doubts on the effectiveness

Our correspondent Angus Crawford reports.

Facebook says it removes nudity or sexually suggestive content.

But our investigation last year found paedophiles using secret

groups to swap obscene images of children.

We informed the police, and this man was sent to prison

Facebook told us it had improved its systems,

But we still found sexualised pictures of children,

We reported 100 posts that we felt broke Facebook's own guidelines.

They didn't breach Facebook's community standards.

I'm concerned that that's been brought to Facebook's attention,

and some of those images have not been dealt with and addressed.

And this report, this investigation, it casts great doubt

on the effectiveness of the measures that Facebook has in place.

Facebook asked us to send examples of what we had reported,

The company then reported us to the police.

Facebook issued a statement saying...

But, even now, groups with inappropriate images

and comments about children remain on Facebook.

Questions about how the company moderates content won't go away.

And we will be talking to a former Facebook executive about how

they moderate content in just under ten minutes.

Let us know what you think about that story as well.

An extra ?320 million for new school places in England will be confirmed

It will go towards the Government's existing free school programme,

and could be used to support the opening of any

Labour has criticised the move for failing to address funding

pressures faced by schools, but Theresa May insists it is part

of her plan to make a good education accessible to every child.

Well, of course we have protected the core schools budget.

But, crucially, what we're announcing is ?500 million

of investment in schools, ?320 million of which will

That will create around 70,000 new school places.

What this is about is ensuring that people can know that their child

will have a good school place, and all the opportunities that that

Our political correspondent Ellie Price joins us from

There is extra funding going to new schools, some will be critical as

some say that schools already need more money. Yes, and some of those

will be grammar schools and there is a debate about whether those grammar

schools should be extended. The rest of the money, ?216 million, will go

towards refurbishing existing school buildings. We'll start with that, a

report a few weeks ago by the National Audit Office, the spending

watchdog, suggested you would need ?6.7 billion to bring existing

school buildings up to a satisfactory standard. A further ?7

billion to make them a good standard. So that gives you some

idea of how this is really just a drop in the ocean. And all this

comes, of course, at a time when head teachers have been complaining

about the looming costs of running schools. They say that the amount of

funding per child has been reduced. A report out a few weeks ago

suggested that between now and 2020 the amount of money will be going

down by 6.5% per pupil and the significance of all of this is that

this is money towards buildings and school places. Critics say there

needs to be more money towards running costs but that money seems

to not be forthcoming. For the moment, thank you.

A British backpacker has been rescued by police officers

in Australia, after allegedly being held against her will for more

She is said to have been raped and assaulted.

The woman was rescued by police when they pulled over the vehicle

she was driving and noticed she had serious injuries to her face.

Our correspondent Hywel Griffith is in Sydney.

Yes, the police say that what this woman went through was horrific. She

met the man, they say, at a party in Cairns in northern Queensland about

three months ago and the two set off on the second of January on a road

trip at things seem to have turned particularly nasty. The police

allege that the man repeatedly raped, assaulted her, even tried to

strangle her and deprived her of liberty, even damaging her passport.

They flagged her down after she pay failed to pay for fuel. They didn't

know she was missing. This is what she told them, according to

Detective Inspector Paul Hart. Police subsequently spoke

at length with that female, who has been identified

as a 22-year-old tourist She advised that, over a period

of weeks, she had been held against her will by the male person

located in the vehicle. It was established that they had

previously had a relationship, And he had basically

deprived her of her liberty, committed a number of offences

against her as they travelled around the state, culminating

in their location in Mitchell. The 22-year-old man who has been

arrested was found on the back of the vehicle, police allege he was

trying to hide from them. He will appear in court next week. Meanwhile

the woman has been receiving treatment at a nearby hospital. She

has been supported by the British high commission and we understand

she has been able to contact her family back in the UK, although it

is likely she won't be able to leave until she has finished giving

evidence to the police about her ordeal. Thank you for your update

this morning. The Government is facing

the prospect of another defeat in the House of Lords over

the process of leaving the EU today. Peers are to vote on an amendment

to the Brexit Bill which calls for Parliament to be given

a meaningful vote on a final deal. The Prime Minister has said

Parliament will have a vote, but only on a "take it

or leave it" basis. Last week the Upper House voted

to guarantee the rights of EU Downing Street has rejected a call

from the former Conservative leader Lord Hague to call

a snap general election. Writing in the Daily Telegraph,

William Hague wrote it would strengthen the Government's

hand and help the UK secure a better But a source at Number Ten said

Teresa May doesn't plan New figures show police forces

in England and Wales received one call every 90 seconds

about a missing person last year. That is an increase of 15%

on the previous year. Police chiefs believe the ageing

population could be one reason A Conservative backbencher

is attempting to reverse Government plans to end the Dubs scheme,

under which unaccompanied migrant children who don't have relatives

in the UK are given refuge here. The MP Heidi Allen is tabling

an amendment to legislation going through the House

of Commons today. Last month the Government announced

that it was limiting the scheme Our home affairs correspondent

June Kelly reports. Amir's family home is in the

war-ravaged Syrian city of Aleppo. He is one of the migrants helped by

the charity safe passage who came to the UK alone under the Dubs scheme.

He is now being fostered by a British family, and a top priority

is to improve his English. Because he is under 18, we are protecting

his identity and Havret voiced his words. He left Syria two years ago

when he was 15. It was like a horror film. Everybody scared. The only

choice is to wait for death or leave. He says it is sad that the

scheme which brought him to the UK is the end. It was my choice from

the beginning to come here. In Syria, we learnt about the UK. It is

a democratic country that is really great and protects minority groups.

The MP Heidi Allen recently visited refugees. With Yvette Cooper. Today

in the House of Commons, Heidi Allen will be attempting to reverse

government plans to end the Dubs scheme. She wants local authorities

to say how much spare capacity they have to resettle unaccompanied young

migrants, and then ministers to make this information public. If the

offers of capacity and goodwill are that, we as a nation should be taken

up those offers. The Dubs scheme, we have chosen at this stage to end it

neatly at the end of the financial year. This humanitarian crisis will

not end at the end of the financial year, so nor should our compassion.

Last year, 900 unaccompanied child migrants were allowed into the UK.

The majority do have family here. The Home Office said that some

councils were being stretched by the demands placed on them.

A card which has been sent by a father and daughter to each

other on their birthdays for the past 33 years has gone

Claire Fuller from Winchester has been exchanging the card

with her 78-year-old father, Stephen, after she first sent it

The card was last posted in Oxfordshire on 10 February.

If you do perchance see this card, they would really like it back. As

you pointed out earlier, it is probably in an envelope, but still,

come on. We can't let history down here. We can sort this out, I'm

sure. There are grave doubts over the way

the social media network Facebook handles reports of inappropriate

images of children. Those comments from the chair

of the Commons Media Committee came after the BBC reported dozens

of pictures to the site, but more than 80% of

them weren't removed. Joining us now is a former Facebook

executive, Elizabeth Linder. Nice to see you. It is a difficult

story, this. Tell us, would you, what the procedures are and do you

think they are being followed? Well, generally speaking Facebook operates

on a report and takedown model. So because of the size of the platform,

1.8 billion people using Facebook every month, they rely on people to

be their police forces. In some cases, in certain types of content,

there are also technical solutions that Facebook will use, certain

types of images, for example, will be taken a look out across all kinds

of social media platforms that sometimes are indicative of the kind

of material that would not be allowed. But people are really

encouraged to report on content they think might violate Facebook's terms

of use, which will go into a queue which is usually reviewed by

Facebook employees to determine whether or not it actually violates

the terms of service for the platform. So you talk about the size

of it, do you think it is actually too big to be policed in this way,

and really it needs a professional force to actually make sure that it

is safe in this way? Well, no one has ever been a police force quite

this big, if you will. But I think it is also important to remember

that Facebook is not a law enforcement agency, and that is a

really significant danger for young people, is actually mistakenly

thinking that reporting content on Facebook is reporting it directly to

the police. It is not. When people see something that is seriously

concerning online... And you press the report button. They need to

report on Facebook at the first thing they should do, especially the

greater the potential crime, they have to get in touch with law

enforcement and directly in touch with the police. I am interested,

because the Facebook employ people to be doing this, to be checking and

all the rest? Do they have people doing that? Or are they just when

forbidden to report it? They have employees around the world

doing that. They have to be trained globally to uphold the same

standards around the world. Cultural differences, you know, are huge

problem. You are training aid him in Hyderabad and Austin, taxes the

same. -- training them. Facebook should welcome as much information

as it can get from journalists and law enforcement and citizens because

that is the under way to sustain policing on the platform. They

should do it with cybersecurity. You can get paid to report a bug you

identify with the form of Facebook. That is something the site does.

What is the next sanction? When they are being reported and are not

taking down images, should there be sanctioned? There is to lay a

breakdown somewhere in this. -- definitely. I am sure the company is

looking into that and working out what went wrong. In lots of the

situations, it is contextual. Whoever is reviewing the report, for

whatever reason, they did not have enough context or information to

understand why that report potentially violates the law. They

have said they carefully reviewed the content and removed all items

illegal or against their standards. Talking about how long the process

can take, from the point of flagging something and saying it is an

appropriate, how long would it take for that to be assessed by the

Facebook team looking at that to take it down? It depends on what

kind of content is reported. Something reported as somebody

potentially imminently considering suicide, that will go into a quiet

high-profile queue. -- quite. It is important. It really can vary.

Content such as that exposed by your story would be treated quite

seriously by the company because of what it is. OK. Thank you very much.

Always lovely to have you. It is against the law for anyone to

distribute images of child explication. This issue is now in

the hands of authorities. That is from Simon from the company. And now

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

to be here. Did you notice how cold air is this morning? This is

Salford. It looks nice and still. A temperature range of between

freezing and plus four. On with the weather. A chilly start with rust

around. Largely dry. Some sunshine. Some will hang on to that for a

while today, especially in the east. A clutch of weather fronts coming in

from the south-west introducing cloud. Later on, heavy rain, as the

light rain, at the moment. Also some showers in western Scotland. All of

the weather fronts plaguing the western isles are clipping

Aberdeenshire. That will clear that, but hanging around, especially in

Shetland. Despite a cold start, some sunshine. Northern Ireland, a bright

and cold start to the day. The same in northern England. Showers are

more or less gone. Drizzle in the north-east. The London area, part of

the east Midlands, cloud big enough to produce drizzle. That will fade.

As we drift over to the south-west and Wales, again, a lot of dry

weather. You will notice the rain on the charts. Through the morning, the

wind will pick up. Generally speaking, the rain in the west of

England and Wales will be light. It will be chilly underneath it. Away

from that, the cloud will build in turn hazy. Averages between seven

and 11. Again, if you are stuck in the rain in Shetland, for example,

live. Good evening and overnight, and as the rain turns heavier as it

comes from the west, temperatures will actually go up through the

evening and overnight across south-west England and Wales in

particular. The band of rain does is dropping transient snow in the hills

of Scotland. -- goes east. . Murky with a mild start in southern areas.

Murky in the north. Tomorrow, another murky start. Rain and breezy

conditions in southern England and Wales. As we go into northern

England, Northern Ireland, in Scotland, much brighter skies for

you with sunshine. Blustery, though. Still some showers are towards the

west. Temperatures by then, up to 14. Rain in the south. Not special.

Newcastle, and ten in Glasgow. The weather will push up towards the

English Channel. The Channel Islands will see some rain from that.

Thursday, look at it goes around. On Thursday, eventually we will see

some more cloud and rain coming in from the south-west later on in the

day. For many, dry with a few showers. Some sunshine. Temperatures

up generally to 10-14. Not bad at all. I am looking forward to it.

Thank you. And now for the budget. The Breakfast version of the

Generation Game. It is all about the money.

It's the second day of our budget road trip.

Yesterday, we looked at what millennials,

those born in the 80s and 90s, want to hear

Today, we're taking a look at what Generation X,

those born between 1966 and 1980, want to see.

Steph's at a family run business in North Yorkshire

Sausages are on the menu. Good morning, Steph. I feel like I am on

the Generation Game this morning but it is all sausages. I am at a

sausage factory where they make something like 300,000 sausages

every day. You can see them coming off the line. If you look up over

here you can see the mix going in there. That will be mixed into the

system. It doesn't look that nice at that point to be fair. But the end

result looks great. Sausages coming up the line. This is a family run

business. We thought we would come here to talk to people in Generation

X, people born between 1966 and 1980. Breakfast's John Maguire went

to meet some people from Generation X to find out what they think about

what concerns them with the economy. It's St David's Day,

and the first day of spring. Time to take stock, and time to look

ahead to brighter days. We are in Pontypool to find out

how people are coping. I used to work with

the programme over here. I see a lot of people

that are managing. They are trying to put people back

into work but they are not making I think wages should go up quite

a bit more than the budget And what can the Chancellor

do for the town? Let's take a spin about the BBC

Breakfast Generation Game Table Generation X born between 1966

and 1980 are at the peak of their careers and are

bringing up children. Those on low incomes are feeling

the effects of large These are the ones who have fallen

between the cracks when it comes We are just about managing

with the budget. Looking at the market

and different things. As you said, both you

and your wife work. And you very much need

to work to make ends meet. I work part time just

to get by and to My parents are lucky enough to be

retired for ten years. I look at myself, and I think

I will not be able to do that. I think they were

the lucky generation. Yet, at the top of Wendy's

budget wish list is help I would like more help with the cost

of universities for our children. As Generation X took its first

tentative steps, this town provided one of the most famous

forwards in world rugby. There are three here

today at a meet and greet Peter has been running this

business for ten years. People have less money

in their pockets and are more fussy about how they spend

and they want value. There is a lot of competition

in the food business is well. The economy that used to provide

work for almost everyone here in these valleys have

all but disappeared. And for those who grew up

in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, the past seems like a foreign

country where things But what can the budget

provide for their future? Well, we will be putting some of

those concerns to some experts we have got coming down shortly. I am

just among the chicken Italia sausage line. You can see them

zipping down. Plenty more sausages a little bit later on. You can never

have enough sausages. I am not sure about that to big arrears an awful

lot to eat there. -- that. Where is the pigeon? Can they help with air

quality? We will show you how this device on the back of this pigeon

can help us understand how toxic the air is. We want a name for this

pigeon. Thank you for the names. Collette says Arsene Winger. Walter

Pigeon. Gregory Peck. Or just Stop. Thank you for the suggestions. We

will have a poll. Carol can decide. More on that interesting technology

The England women's cricket team will make history when they play

the first-ever day-night Ashes Test against Australia in November.

The match will be played in Sydney, starting on nine November.

Just like the 2015 series, this year's competition will also

feature three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 matches.

England are looking to reclaim the trophy they lost in 2015.

I want to take you back to the football for a second.

And a pretty impressive goal in Brazil.

Everybody says a side is at its most vulnerable immediately

after scoring, and that was the case when Comercial FC forward Mirrai

scored directly from the kick-off in Sao Paolo, against Catanduvense.

His side went on to win the game 4-1.

That was his first goal for the club. I want a replay. Can we see it

again, or do we need to wait? White pack his team had just conceded,

they have gone 1-0 down, and this is his response. Perfectly struck. It

is audacious. The keeper is devastated, hasn't got a clue. He

didn't even know it was coming. A zoo which destroyed healthy lion

cubs, and allowed other animals to become dangerously obese,

faces closure after its owner failed in a bid to renew his

licence yesterday. It has raised questions as to why

the South Lakes Safari Zoo, in Cumbria, was allowed to continue,

amid long-term concerns over how In a moment we will talk

to the British and Irish Association First, Danny Savage has more details

on what went wrong at South Lakes. South Lakes Safari Zoo. Conditions

for some of the animals here have been so bad it has now been ordered

to close. The problem is animal welfare. An inspection in January

found poor accommodation, uncontrolled breeding and exotic

animals living in unheated, rat infested conditions. The zoo has

been dogged with trouble for years. Keeper, 24-year-old Sarah McLay, was

killed by a tiger in 2013. The man refused a licence to run the zoo

today is David Gill, described by inspectors as being desperate to

keep control here, one way or another. No longer wants to operate

the zoo, but without his licence, the new company now running it can't

function. So the site is now facing closure and the animals may need new

homes. Joining us now is Kirsten Pullen,

who is chief executive of the British and Irish Association

of Zoos and Aquariums. Thank you very much for joining us.

I understand they are not a member of your organisation, but tell us,

if you would, we have heard about some of the things that are going on

there, and what do you make of what was happening to these animals?

Well, it's clear that there are some very real concerns about the welfare

of the animals within the park. There seem to have been some very

clear breakdowns in management practices which have led to the

worst outcomes for some of the animals that have been involved, and

that is something that is absolutely shocking and very distressing,

both... I know the keepers there will be very passionate about the

animals they work with, but also from the wider zoo community which

works so hard to maintain high standards of welfare and activities

for conservation within their zoos. And let's talk about David Gill, he

has handed management of South Lakes Safari Zoo to the Cumbria is a Ltd

but they don't have a licence because he has the license holder.

So what happens right now? Yes, so this is the slightly awkward

situation that the council are now in and have to deal with as the

licensing authority for the park. The decision yesterday, which I

completely support, to refuse David Gill a licence, does leave them with

looking at what they have to do. Now, there is a 28 day period where

David Gill can contest that claim, and we have to wait and see whether

he does. But the council also have to make a decision regarding whether

the new company who run the zoo are in fact a capable company, of doing

so and improving the standards for those animals. And the concerning

thing for this point is there are animals in the zoo today. Can we

guarantee that they are being looked after? Beekeepers will still be in

place, but we need to make sure that the standards, and the council have

to look and make sure the standards are being raised within the zoo, and

the animals are getting their needs. This is the difficulty we face when

closing zoo, particularly zoo which has large animals such as white

rhinos, as South Lakes Safari Zoo does. It is logistically difficult

to move those animals on. The zoo community will rally around, looking

at the breeding programmes and seeing if we can find suitable homes

for the animals but there will be a period of time needed to put those

moves in place. And the zoo will have to manage to operate on some

level to meet the needs of those animals until moves to new homes can

be found. And I suppose the question is, how did it get to this? Two Snow

leopards found partially eaten, a pair of squirrel monkeys diagnosed

with septicaemia. Are they regularly inspected, and how could it have

happened? Zoo licensing in the UK is run through the local authorities.

But there are regular inspections. The licence is issued for six years

after an inspection and then every three years on the interim there is

an inspection to see how they go experts come from the local

authority and Defre to see what is happening in the zoo. And this has

led to the causes of the outcome the other day. But I think it is

relevant to say that we support a stronger licensing process within

the UK, it is very important for us and perhaps it is time to look and

review the process is here, to see what has happened and whether they

can be any tightening up of our legislation. And looking at the

death level of that zoo, there must be figures for other zoos, is a very

out of sync with other zoos? I think the key thing is to look at the

underlying causes of death. It is very hard to do comparisons across

zoo sites. Some animals have a much shorter lifespan, so you might get a

higher natural death rate. The key thing is to look at the underlying

causes of the deaths, and it is very clear that there are some very

strong management issues, or very definite management issues, that

have been happening at South Lakes Safari Zoo, which have led to

compromise welfare for the animals. Thank you.

Actually, the weather. It is quite chilly this morning. You can say

that again. -4 in some areas. A cold start to the day. Temperatures

between zero and freezing and four degrees. On the coast, more mild.

For most of us, largely dry today. Cloud coming in from the Atlantic.

This is a set of weather fronts producing rain later. At the moment,

showers in western Scotland. Rain in the Northern Isles going to the

north-east of Aberdeenshire. That will clear Aberdeenshire but not the

Northern Isles. A bright start but a cold one for northern England.

Drizzle to be north-east. That will fade. Further south, that too will

fade. Wales. South-west England. Dry weather. Cloud continuing to build

from the west. As the next weather front comes in bringing rain.

Through the course of the day, the rain will not be particularly heavy,

but underneath it, it will feel chilly. Away from that, back into

the sunshine, the sunshine will turn more milky. Temperatures between

seven and 11. Up here, it will feel cold with a high of only five. The

evening and overnight. The rain was an heavier in south-west England and

Wales. The temperatures will rise. -- the rain will turn. Quickly, the

rain pushes off to the North Sea. Transient snow in the hills of

Scotland. A second weather front goes south, bringing more rain to

the southern counties of England and also Wales. Not as cold a night

here, but chilly. Tomorrow, murk in southern areas starting us off. Low

cloud and rain and hill fog around. Northern England and Scotland and

Northern Ireland, some brighter skies and sunshine and a blustery

day wherever you are, really. Look at the temperatures, going into

double figures readily. Ten in Aberdeen to a high of 14 in London.

For the rest of Wednesday, you can see how the weather front pulls

away, bringing rain to the Channel Islands. Then it turns around and

divots back in our direction during the course of Thursday. Translated,

a chilly start for some of us. A weather front is not that far away.

Still in the rainy side. The rain will build ahead of this. It is the

north that is David Best for all of the sunshine. Temperatures, ten in

the north. -- the best. Then a high of 14 towards London. All in all,

the temperatures are going up. But on the weekend, going down. Then

next week, back again. Prepare for anything. If you like fried

breakfast. Enjoy this. It's the second day of our budget

roadshow today, and this week, Steph's out on the road speaking

to different generations Good morning. Good morning,

everybody. They are making sausages here. These are the sausages that

will be packed up and send off to supermarkets across the country.

Just this morning they have packed thousands and thousands of sausages.

Every day they produce 300,000 of them. Many different flavours. We

have come here to talk about the budget. That is happening soon. We

are looking at each different generation and how it impacts them.

Amelie is here. She is part of Generation X, born between 1966 and

1980. I know you are busy. Good morning. Good morning. How is lie

for you at the moment? What pressures have you got? I have two

children. -- life. My biggest cost is child-care. I spend more on that

than my mortgage. Any help with childcare would be fantastic. I know

the government is bringing out an extra 1500 hours. I know they are

trialling it in Northern Ireland that the they are starting it in

September. But I know there are significant implications that it is

financially important. More detail needs to be looked into how exactly

it is going to work. It may end up in a shortage of childcare

providers. Your childcare costs more than your mortgage! How much money

are you left without the of the month? Not much, really. After food,

nothing really. I have a husband that works, luckily. He is

effectively our savings account. It is good that you can actually save.

We are able to save a little bit. What would you compromise in order

to be able to have better childcare? Of course, it is a tough time for

the economy. There is not much money out there. What would you sacrifice?

I don't know we could do that to be we don't go on holidays. There is

not much that we could sacrifice. -- could. Lovely to see you. Helen is

here. We were talking to Emily about the pressures of her family faces.

What is it like out there at the moment for a Generation X family? We

are finding prices are rising, putting pressure on the incomes of

the income families. Inflation will hit at 3%. The incomes of the income

families will go down an following years. Winnie need to put in

protection for low income families. Unfreezing benefits so that some can

keep up with prices in the shops. And also putting money back into

Universal Credit to help low income working families keep body. If you

look at the figures, unfreezing benefits, it is something like ?4.2

billion it would cost the economy. That is the IFS telling us that. One

of the things they are choosing to do is to cut income taxes for better

off people. That is going to cost over ?2 billion a year. That is

money they could choose to actually put into the lives of working

families, bringing costs down. Prices will rise and it will become

harder to cover the essentials so this would help every week. Thank

you very much for your time this morning. Shall we look at some or

sausages before we go? Why not? You don't get this opportunity much.

These are the chicken Italia sausages. Oh no! It is finished

again! Sundried tomatoes and chicken in them, as you would guess! Look at

this guy. Look at his little face. Bless him, he is trying to time it

for us. Tada! Oh no! Steph! I am sure it is not you or anything, is

it? You have ruined the sausage machine. You ruined it! She will not

get another invite after ruining the sausage production. And we got a

name for the Penguin? Lots of suggestions. We will decide by the

end of the programme. -- pigeon. Carol will decide for us. We have it

here because of this. When you think of reducing air

pollution, you probably think of electric cars and energy

efficient light bulbs, but academics at Birmingham

University believe pigeons "City Flocks" is a new project

which sends pigeons with sensors strapped to their backs off

into the sky to record more Breakfast's Graham Satchell went

to watch their maiden flight. Can pigeons help us in the battle

against air pollution? It sounds far-fetched, but academics

at Birmingham University People give you the look

like you are giving me. We have a superfast

temperature sensor... This climate scientist will attach

these tiny sensor packs If we know the temperatures

above the rooftops, we can test Fitting the sensors

is a delicate operation. They are tiny, just 5%

of the pigeon's weight, It has a tiny camera

to record the flight. Much is resting on

the next few minutes. This is the first time

we have done this. It is the result of many hours

of work to get to this stage. I think they will just take off

and find their way home. This is the disoriented view

from the pigeon-cam. What is it scientists

are trying to discover? They already know that nitrous

oxide, the pollution that comes out of diesel engines, rises

with the heat coming from roads To model it, they need accurate

data in this climate. If they could be tiny

and accurate enough, we could start to understand

the dispersion of air pollution Just six minutes after taking off,

the pigeons are back. There is an anxious wait

as it is retrieved. This is what the data shows that be

the routes taken by the pigeons It will show how it

changes across big cities. It will be used by planners,

he says, to see where we should It could give much more

accurate street by street It is not a particularly heroic

namem, but, Pigeon Number 80, we salute you and your work

towards a better air quality. Graham Satchell, BBC News. We will

have more on that later. And Carol will have the name for the pigeon.

Whatever you decide, we will stick with that. What is winning? Quite

predictable. Pigeon McPigeonface. Time to get the news and travel
