:00:00. > :00:08.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:09. > :00:10.The Chancellor prepares for his first Budget,

:00:11. > :00:15.with an upbeat message on the economy.

:00:16. > :00:18.There is expected to be extra money for social care,

:00:19. > :00:24.but there will be few other giveaways.

:00:25. > :00:30.All this week I have been hearing from different generations about

:00:31. > :00:36.what they want from the Budget. Today we are talking to the post-war

:00:37. > :00:48.Baby Boomers and beyond so I am at a retirement village in Bournville.

:00:49. > :00:50.Good morning, it is Wednesday 8 March.

:00:51. > :00:53.Also this morning: Lord Heseltine is sacked as a Government advisor

:00:54. > :00:58.after rebelling in a vote over Brexit.

:00:59. > :01:00.Could our televisions be spying on us?

:01:01. > :01:03.Claims that the CIA have developed new technology

:01:04. > :01:09.In sport: More pressure on Arsene Wenger, as Arsenal

:01:10. > :01:11.are humiliated in the Champions League.

:01:12. > :01:14.They are thrashed 5-1 by Bayern Munich in the last 16,

:01:15. > :01:24.We return to Germany with the only surviving member of the air crews

:01:25. > :01:26.that carried out one of the Second World War's

:01:27. > :01:41.Thank you, good morning. The weather has a 3-way split across the

:01:42. > :01:46.country. Windy conditions and showers in the north, dry and bright

:01:47. > :01:51.in the central swathes of the UK and in the south, mild, cloudy and damp.

:01:52. > :01:52.I will have more details about 15 minutes.

:01:53. > :01:56.First, our main story: An upbeat assessment of the economy,

:01:57. > :01:58.but a warning that more austerity lies ahead -

:01:59. > :02:01.they are expected to be the key messages when the Chancellor,

:02:02. > :02:03.Philip Hammond, delivers first Budget later today.

:02:04. > :02:06.He will stress that the Government won't shirk difficult decisions

:02:07. > :02:11.But he is expected to find extra money for social care in England,

:02:12. > :02:14.and to help soften the impact of changes to business rates.

:02:15. > :02:19.Here is our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier.

:02:20. > :02:27.Here's the man in Westminster as Spreadsheet fill. The cautious

:02:28. > :02:31.treasury chief in charge of the numbers. So is the Chancellor does

:02:32. > :02:36.his sons, what has he got to consider? Well, the big issue that

:02:37. > :02:41.is dominating its Brexit, as the UK prepares to leave the EU, Esther

:02:42. > :02:45.Hammond says he is focused on keeping the economy resilient, with

:02:46. > :02:49.a warning this is no time for spending sprees. Even so, there will

:02:50. > :02:54.be cash for new Free Schools and money to shake up vocational and

:02:55. > :02:58.technical training for 16 to 18 -year-olds. But the Chancellor is

:02:59. > :03:02.under pressure to spend more on public services. With claims of

:03:03. > :03:06.social care is in crisis and repeated calls for more money for

:03:07. > :03:13.the NHS. Plus, pleased to help soften the blow for small firms hit

:03:14. > :03:16.a change in business rates. Mr Hammond might have chucked out his

:03:17. > :03:20.predecessor's timetable for dealing with the deficit, but both he and

:03:21. > :03:24.the prime Minister still believe balancing the books is the only way

:03:25. > :03:25.to ensure a stable economy that is growing.

:03:26. > :03:32.And Eleanor is in Downing Street this morning.

:03:33. > :03:40.I suppose you won't know if there are any surprises, but might there

:03:41. > :03:44.be? I don't think farewell. If you are expecting any fireworks, you are

:03:45. > :03:49.probably going to be disappointed. I am told, though, this will an up its

:03:50. > :03:53.speech. The Chancellor will save the economy has proved to be resilient,

:03:54. > :03:56.but he will also admit that many families are feeling the pinch. I

:03:57. > :04:01.think what is going to become clear later is that austerity has not gone

:04:02. > :04:05.away. There are still cuts to come, many with very human consequences,

:04:06. > :04:09.and also with racks at around the corner we should expect the

:04:10. > :04:12.Chancellor to keep back some of that spending power, not commit it all

:04:13. > :04:17.now while the future looks so uncertain -- Brexit. He wants to in

:04:18. > :04:21.his own words have enough fuel in the tank is the UK leads the EU.

:04:22. > :04:25.Labour is pressing the government to spend more on the NHS and social

:04:26. > :04:29.care and all the signs are that the Chancellor will find more money for

:04:30. > :04:34.social care across England and a bit of extra cash to soften the impact

:04:35. > :04:38.of those changes to business rates. But despite economic forecast

:04:39. > :04:47.looking like they are going to be up, this is not going to be a

:04:48. > :04:53.giveaway Budget. Someone has a good parking space, right outside! Two

:04:54. > :04:59.parking spaces! I am strategically placed in this very small gap

:05:00. > :05:06.between the two cars. It gets busy on Budget day in Downing Street. Do

:05:07. > :05:11.we know whose cars they are? I think very important people's cars. I'm

:05:12. > :05:11.glad they left just enough space for you.

:05:12. > :05:14.And we will be chatting to Steph about the Budget in around

:05:15. > :05:17.She has been looking at what different generations want

:05:18. > :05:23.Today she is at a retirement village in Birmingham.

:05:24. > :05:25.Lord Heseltine has been sacked as a Government adviser

:05:26. > :05:27.after rebelling in a vote over Brexit.

:05:28. > :05:30.The Government suffered a second defeat in the House of Lords,

:05:31. > :05:32.as peers backed calls for a meaningful Parliamentary vote

:05:33. > :05:37.Ministers say they will seek to overturn the move when the bill

:05:38. > :05:43.Here is our political correspondent Chris Mason.

:05:44. > :05:49.Many of your Lordships... Just like Ken Clarke in the Commons, Lord

:05:50. > :05:56.Heseltine was determined to remain vociferously pro-European after the

:05:57. > :05:59.referendum, just as before. It ensures that Parliament has the

:06:00. > :06:04.critical role in determining the future that we will bequeath to

:06:05. > :06:11.generations of young people, and I urge your Lordships to support the

:06:12. > :06:18.amendment. But hours later, he learned he had been fired from five

:06:19. > :06:22.government advisory roles. This is not my judgement. This is the Prime

:06:23. > :06:26.Minister exercising her perfectly legitimate right to get rid of the

:06:27. > :06:32.opposition in any way she thinks appropriate. And I respect that

:06:33. > :06:37.right, whether it is the wise thing to do as a matter for her, not for

:06:38. > :06:42.me. His sacking illustrates Downing Street's determination to pointedly

:06:43. > :06:47.press ahead with Brexit. Next week the bill heads down the corridor,

:06:48. > :06:52.act to the Commons. Will Conservative rebels there be up for

:06:53. > :06:57.a fight? I will continue to believe that that is the right thing to do,

:06:58. > :07:01.for there to be a vote in both houses, Deal or no Deal. And if I

:07:02. > :07:05.have to vote against my government again, I will do it. We have

:07:06. > :07:09.discussed, deliberated and scrutinised both of these issues

:07:10. > :07:12.before, at length, and we still declined to accept the amendments

:07:13. > :07:17.that have been passed in the House of Lords. We have had no new

:07:18. > :07:21.arguments, they have come up with no new ideas so I expect the House of

:07:22. > :07:26.Commons to pass the bill unamended. Whatever happens next week, the

:07:27. > :07:30.Prime Minister does remain on course to be able to begin Brexit

:07:31. > :07:37.negotiations before the end of this month.

:07:38. > :07:40.We shall be speaking to Lord Heseltine on the programme after 8am

:07:41. > :07:41.this morning. A former head of the CIA has said

:07:42. > :07:45.an apparent leak of thousands of the agency's files

:07:46. > :07:47.is incredibly damaging. The documents, which have been

:07:48. > :07:49.published by the website WikiLeaks, appear to reveal attempts to hack

:07:50. > :07:52.into electronic devices One file suggests the CIA and MI5

:07:53. > :07:56.had discovered how to record conversations using a microphone

:07:57. > :07:58.in a Samsung smart TV, even when it appeared

:07:59. > :08:00.to be turned off. The CIA has refused to comment

:08:01. > :08:03.on the documents' authenticity, but the agency's former

:08:04. > :08:22.director Michael Hayden said This seems to be an incredibly

:08:23. > :08:26.damaging leak in terms of the tactics, techniques, procedures and

:08:27. > :08:30.tools that were used by the Central intelligence agency to conduct

:08:31. > :08:33.legitimate foreign intelligence. In other words, it has made my country

:08:34. > :08:35.and my country's friends less safe. Police searching for missing RAF

:08:36. > :08:37.gunner Corrie McKeague are probing whether a bin lorry is linked

:08:38. > :08:40.to his disappearance. The vehicle was spotted

:08:41. > :08:42.near where the 23-year-old was last seen, and carried a much heavier

:08:43. > :08:45.load than first thought. A search of a landfill site

:08:46. > :08:48.in Cambridgeshire is under way. Mr Mckeague was last seen on a night

:08:49. > :08:56.out on 24 September. A British backpacker

:08:57. > :08:58.who was allegedly held captive for weeks and subjected to repeated

:08:59. > :09:01.sexual assaults has been released The 22-year-old woman

:09:02. > :09:04.is being comforted by her family, A 22-year-old Australian man has

:09:05. > :09:09.been charged with a number of offences, and has been

:09:10. > :09:15.remanded in custody. The number of women getting top jobs

:09:16. > :09:18.at sporting bodies is declining, The Women in Sport study found just

:09:19. > :09:23.under half of organisations have failed to meet new Government

:09:24. > :09:43.guidelines calling for senior The profile of women playing sport

:09:44. > :09:48.has never been higher. But step off the pitch and into the boardroom,

:09:49. > :09:54.and progress is more limited. Today the charity Women in Sport released

:09:55. > :09:57.an audit of 68 national governing bodies receiving public money. They

:09:58. > :10:02.found that nearly half didn't meet the new target of 30% gendered

:10:03. > :10:06.diversity on their boards, including those in football, cricket, rugby

:10:07. > :10:11.and cycling. Nine had no women at all in senior leadership roles,

:10:12. > :10:16.while one organisation, the British taekwondo Council, has no women in

:10:17. > :10:21.any leadership position. Public investment in sport, in any sports

:10:22. > :10:24.organisation, is dependent on organisations reaching the standards

:10:25. > :10:28.of the code. So anybody who isn't able to reach them or doesn't have

:10:29. > :10:31.an adequate plan to do so won't attract public investment. The FA

:10:32. > :10:35.has long been criticised for failing to move with the Times. Faced with

:10:36. > :10:39.having millions of pounds of funding cuts, this week it proposed reforms

:10:40. > :10:43.to appoint more women to its board. England hockey also needs to

:10:44. > :10:47.diversify, although their CEO told me they will have no problem meeting

:10:48. > :10:51.the new government target. We will over time as board members leave

:10:52. > :10:58.look at recruiting people that still meet the skill set, but enable us to

:10:59. > :11:01.meet the recommendations within the guidelines. Many sports have reaped

:11:02. > :11:03.the benefits of public investment. Now they are being told to better

:11:04. > :11:21.reflect the people who fund them. We should say happy International

:11:22. > :11:24.Women's Day. We are speaking to Gillian Anderson, I am really happy

:11:25. > :11:25.about that, particular yacht this day.

:11:26. > :11:29.A hunt is under way in France for poachers who broke into a zoo

:11:30. > :11:32.near Paris and shot dead a white rhino, before sawing off

:11:33. > :11:36.French police say the body of the four-year-old animal,

:11:37. > :11:37.called Vince, was found yesterday morning.

:11:38. > :11:40.A rhino horn can fetch around ?40,000 on the black market.

:11:41. > :11:44.It is believed to be the first time poachers have killed an animal

:11:45. > :11:54.We will be speaking to somebody about that later.

:11:55. > :11:57.Chocolate bars like Kit Kat, Yorkie and Aero will contain 10%

:11:58. > :12:00.That is according to their manufacturer, Nestle,

:12:01. > :12:04.who say sugar will be replaced with higher quantities of existing

:12:05. > :12:05.ingredients, or other, non-artificial ingredients.

:12:06. > :12:16.They say it could have a significant impact on public health.

:12:17. > :12:22.When residents in a town in Canada went to fill the cattle, they got a

:12:23. > :12:29.bit of a surprise. The water was pink. Really pink, not just a little

:12:30. > :12:34.bit pink. It happened because of a side-effect of a common water

:12:35. > :12:37.treatment chemical, apparently. In a statement, the mayor of the town

:12:38. > :12:41.says there is no risk to public health. I wonder if you gave

:12:42. > :12:46.children pink water, whether they might be more likely to think that

:12:47. > :12:51.is great, I want to drink it? It is like when you put dye and potatoes,

:12:52. > :12:55.and things like that. I remember doing an interview a few years

:12:56. > :13:01.ago... Are your ears all right? I will try and sort it out. Have you

:13:02. > :13:04.got voices in your head? I did an interview at a water treatment

:13:05. > :13:09.Works, a great interview, and the guy said to me, if it is brown, get

:13:10. > :13:17.out of town. That is the rules for water. That might make sense, and

:13:18. > :13:22.the same might go for yellow. Jessica, I am sorry. Very distracted

:13:23. > :13:26.today! I have some sport for you. Can we move away from the pink

:13:27. > :13:33.water? It is not great news for Arsenal. You said they had very

:13:34. > :13:40.little chance yesterday. I did. It was embarrassing, wasn't it? It was.

:13:41. > :13:46.They spoke about the referee trying to take away from the fact that his

:13:47. > :13:48.Arsenal suffered humiliation in the Champions League.

:13:49. > :13:51.They were knocked out in the last-16 stage again,

:13:52. > :13:53.after being thrashed 5-1 at home to Bayern Munich,

:13:54. > :13:57.Arturo Vidal grabbed the fourth and fifth goals for the German

:13:58. > :13:59.champions, completing the heaviest defeat at the Emirates Stadium.

:14:00. > :14:03.It is the seventh season in a row that Arsenal have exited

:14:04. > :14:14.England's women also struggled against German opponents.

:14:15. > :14:16.They lost 1-0 to Germany in their final SheBelieves Cup

:14:17. > :14:25.Team Sky have admitted mistakes were made around the delivery

:14:26. > :14:28.of a medical package to Sir Bradley Wiggins,

:14:29. > :14:33.The team have been unable to provide records to back up the claim Wiggins

:14:34. > :14:41.was given a legal decongestant at a race in France in 2011.

:14:42. > :14:44.And Billy Vunipola is expected to start for England

:14:45. > :14:47.against Scotland in the Six Nations on Saturday, after three months out

:14:48. > :14:56.He is included in the 24-man training squad.

:14:57. > :15:03.Good to see Billy back in the squad. Thank you very much, hang around for

:15:04. > :15:09.a look at the papers in a moment. Looks glorious. For some it will be,

:15:10. > :15:19.but not for all of us. Today we have rain in the south,

:15:20. > :15:24.some of it will be heavy with some drizzle, sunshine in the north but

:15:25. > :15:28.in the far north it is also showery with stronger winds. You can see

:15:29. > :15:32.this cloud streaming across our shores this morning, some is rain

:15:33. > :15:37.bearing cloud courtesy of a weather front that will continue to go south

:15:38. > :15:40.through the day. At times rain on it will rejuvenate. At the other end of

:15:41. > :15:45.the country, tightly squeezed isobars, pretty windy at the moment

:15:46. > :15:50.across the Western Isles and here too we have wintry showers. A lot of

:15:51. > :15:56.dry weather. But nippy at the moment. The same in Northern

:15:57. > :16:00.Ireland, a fair bit of cloud, the same in northern England and the odd

:16:01. > :16:05.shower coming out of that. Our weather front, through the Midlands,

:16:06. > :16:11.East Anglia, Wales and southern counties. It is producing rain and

:16:12. > :16:14.some drizzle, and I as I mentioned through the day, as it drifts

:16:15. > :16:23.further east and south, you will find it will wax and wane. Behind

:16:24. > :16:27.it, lovely bright skies across northern England, Northern Ireland,

:16:28. > :16:30.sunshine in parts of Scotland and through the day the strong winds

:16:31. > :16:34.will move up in the direction of the Northern Isles, so later on the wind

:16:35. > :16:43.is really picking up, gusting to gales, even locally severe gales. --

:16:44. > :16:48.winds. Maybe 12 or 13 in northern England. Through the evening and

:16:49. > :16:52.overnight, this front is slow to clear but it eventually does, taking

:16:53. > :16:56.rain into the Channel Islands. Blustery winds through the English

:16:57. > :17:00.Channel, where it will turn around and take another swipe tomorrow at

:17:01. > :17:04.the south-west. Behind it, still quite mild but as we go further

:17:05. > :17:08.north, we still have the showers, still quite windy and we could see a

:17:09. > :17:12.widespread frost in parts of Scotland on the other side of the

:17:13. > :17:16.rain in northern England and East Anglia, something to bear in mind

:17:17. > :17:21.for tomorrow morning. Talking of tomorrow morning, here's our weather

:17:22. > :17:26.in the Channel Islands, taking a punt at Cornwall for a time and as

:17:27. > :17:29.we move north of that, a lot of dry weather. A fair bit of sunshine

:17:30. > :17:33.after the nippy start, brightening up in the south, tomorrow to the

:17:34. > :17:40.north of London, we could get 15 or 16. As we go further north, look at

:17:41. > :17:43.Stornoway, ten, not bad at all! There's the weather front on

:17:44. > :17:49.Thursday, again moving up the western side of the UK, taking some

:17:50. > :17:55.of its rain with it. The squeeze in isobars, windy to the west but other

:17:56. > :17:59.than that, on Friday, we hang on to milder colours, yellow and amber. By

:18:00. > :18:03.the time we get to the end of the week, things will be going down a

:18:04. > :18:08.touch. Here's the rain on Friday, brighter skies to the south-east.

:18:09. > :18:10.Thank you very much, Carol. Simulator.

:18:11. > :18:19.Carol, I want to ask you about what you do with your spaghetti

:18:20. > :18:24.Bolognese. To eat it you mean? Yes. I keep it in the cupboard. Do you

:18:25. > :18:28.add anything to it, there's a debate about what Mary Berry has done,

:18:29. > :18:36.white wine and cream. I just boil it normally! I'm in the back room

:18:37. > :18:44.slowly when it comes to cooking. What do you do with the actual

:18:45. > :18:50.source? In a can? I'm not Delia Smith or Mary Berry! I'm with you!

:18:51. > :18:54.Thank you very much indeed! MasterChef? Never ever get Carol

:18:55. > :18:58.Kirkwood on MasterChef! She has a lot to learn! Bless you, Carol!

:18:59. > :19:06.The reason why we are talking about that is the front page of many of

:19:07. > :19:14.the papers this morning, Mary barely. It has gone down quite well

:19:15. > :19:20.with Italians. -- Mary Berry. This is the main story on the Daily Mail

:19:21. > :19:24.and I'll be speaking to Michael Heseltine later on the programme.

:19:25. > :19:31.Vince the rhino in France, he was killed and his task was sawn off

:19:32. > :19:35.with a chainsaw. It was a horrendous story. We will talk about that later

:19:36. > :19:41.and the Daily Telegraph previewing the budget. They were halfway

:19:42. > :19:46.through the second horn when they were rumbled. A story about George

:19:47. > :19:50.Michael on the Daily Mirror, and another story we aren't talking

:19:51. > :19:54.about this morning, MI5 bugging smart TVs, news from America about

:19:55. > :19:59.WikiLeaks and the potential for them to hack into your TV even though it

:20:00. > :20:05.is turned off to listen to conversations and even use the

:20:06. > :20:09.webcam. If you're a conspiracy theorist, it's your worst nightmare.

:20:10. > :20:14.It's like your phone turning on when we've said different words. That was

:20:15. > :20:20.on a North Korea story as well! The front page of the Times, that story

:20:21. > :20:25.again, British intelligence helped apparently to hack TVs and phones.

:20:26. > :20:29.Another picture of Vince and zoos are stepping up security after

:20:30. > :20:35.poachers killed this captive rhino to remove his horn. Jessica, what

:20:36. > :20:41.have you got, is it all linger out? That's the first story in the Sun,

:20:42. > :20:47.Wenger out after their humiliating defeat to Bayern Munich -- all

:20:48. > :20:52.Wenger out. 10-2 on aggregate. Fans in the stadium last night were

:20:53. > :20:57.holding up Wenger out signs. I thought you were going to say

:20:58. > :21:02.crying, but no. There were definitely tears. In the Times, this

:21:03. > :21:09.is Arsenal's worst defeat in Europe in 53 seasons. I did mention just

:21:10. > :21:16.now that believe Vunipola is back for England after some months out

:21:17. > :21:20.with an injury -- Billy Vunipola. This is perhaps how we found out he

:21:21. > :21:25.might be back in the squad, we have pictures in the Guardian of a

:21:26. > :21:30.whiteboard we think written by Eddie Jones, the head coach, and he has

:21:31. > :21:35.kind of given it away, can you see his name written in the training

:21:36. > :21:39.squad? Looks like he is going to be starting. I remember Nick Faldo and

:21:40. > :21:48.the Ryder Cup pairings and he said it was going to be a sandwich list.

:21:49. > :21:51.Look at this picture, taken by a photographer, this is in Sydney as

:21:52. > :21:57.it is going across Sydney Harbour. The weather you can see is pretty

:21:58. > :22:01.grim, a wall of water, how has that photographer managed to not hold on

:22:02. > :22:05.for dear life and managed to steady himself to take the picture,

:22:06. > :22:09.amazing. The boat was OK and everyone was fine, which is the good

:22:10. > :22:13.news. We talked about Mary Berry, she has people upset for putting

:22:14. > :22:19.cream and white wine in her Bolognese. As a MasterChef finalist,

:22:20. > :22:25.how do you feel about that? I'm going to try it, you have to try

:22:26. > :22:31.these things. I do put in Lee Perrins, there are other things

:22:32. > :22:37.available. I put relish in. We all add other little bits. What about

:22:38. > :22:50.you? I put red wine in. I don't eat meat. I.e. The use corn -- I either

:22:51. > :22:53.use Quorn. Or I just use vegetables. Or you could do what Carol does and

:22:54. > :22:53.just boil it! This week in the run-up to today's

:22:54. > :22:56.budget, we've been looking at what different generations want

:22:57. > :22:59.from the Chancellor. Steph's been meeting

:23:00. > :23:00.young people in Scotland, Today she's with baby

:23:01. > :23:11.boomers in Birmingham. Good morning. Good morning to you

:23:12. > :23:15.and good morning, everyone and welcome to Bournville Gardens, a

:23:16. > :23:19.retirement village near Birmingham and there's about 300 residents

:23:20. > :23:22.living here, a mix of different accommodation you can get, we've got

:23:23. > :23:27.some of the residents up early this morning that we will talk to later

:23:28. > :23:31.but there a mix of one or two bedroom apartments that can be

:23:32. > :23:40.rented or bought, it costs from ?35 a week to ?135 and that depends on

:23:41. > :23:44.your circumstances. They have a gym here, and of IT suite, a bar and a

:23:45. > :23:47.lounge, a village hall, a hairdressers overhear. It is all

:23:48. > :23:52.about making later life more comfortable for people -- over here.

:23:53. > :23:56.I will be asking about what they want from the budget but also Tim

:23:57. > :24:00.Muffet has been out with a walking club in North Norfolk to meet some

:24:01. > :24:03.retirees and find out what they think.

:24:04. > :24:12.The walkers are welcome walking club of Cromer, open to all ages, but

:24:13. > :24:18.today's group are all baby boomers, plus Hillary's granddaughter,

:24:19. > :24:21.Gabrielle. You're a lucky generation, aren't you? Free

:24:22. > :24:25.education, cheap housing. We were very lucky and it is a strain on

:24:26. > :24:30.younger people nowadays that don't have those facilities that we had so

:24:31. > :24:35.readily I guess! I really enjoyed being a Baby Boomer. I think I was

:24:36. > :24:41.very lucky to be one! I'm grateful for so many things throughout my

:24:42. > :24:45.life. The access to education that I had, the ability to get a training

:24:46. > :24:50.and a vocation to get a job, the ease at which as a young man I could

:24:51. > :24:54.move from one job to another. By the time of the next general election,

:24:55. > :24:59.more than a third of the population of North Norfolk will be aged over

:25:00. > :25:05.65, it's one of just two regions in the UK where that's the case.

:25:06. > :25:10.Compared to other generations, baby boomers are very likely to vote.

:25:11. > :25:16.Politicians very keen to keep them happy. The baby boomers born between

:25:17. > :25:19.1946 and 1965 are nearing the end of their careers and approaching

:25:20. > :25:22.retirement. On the surface it looks like they've done quite well in

:25:23. > :25:25.recent years with things like the triple lock protecting the state

:25:26. > :25:29.pension, but the big concern for this group is social care. Even for

:25:30. > :25:33.the wealthy it can wipe out their assets and for both rich and poor,

:25:34. > :25:42.the system is creaking. So, despite the views and fresh air of Cromer,

:25:43. > :25:46.there are clouds on the horizon. The general things that council supply

:25:47. > :25:50.are all being cut and that obviously includes care for the older league.

:25:51. > :25:56.People in Cromer have to think very carefully about preparing for

:25:57. > :26:00.retirement -- elderly. In this budget I would like more money spent

:26:01. > :26:05.on healthcare and elderly care and to pay for this money can be taken

:26:06. > :26:10.from defence. You need to look after the younger ones to prepare them for

:26:11. > :26:14.when they're older. In this year's budget I'd like to see more money

:26:15. > :26:19.spent on informal education and to achieve this I'd like to see cuts in

:26:20. > :26:22.benefits but blew in this budget I'd like to see more money spent on

:26:23. > :26:27.preparing our youth, our young people for the future. And in the

:26:28. > :26:33.budget I'd like to see less spent on the military. Hillary organises

:26:34. > :26:36.walks across Norfolk. For her, exercise is the best investment. I

:26:37. > :26:41.think it's important they spend their money on ways to keep people

:26:42. > :26:44.active. I think we should spend more on promoting physical education

:26:45. > :26:49.certainly in youngsters and less on the arts where I think it's not

:26:50. > :26:54.quite so important. Soon we'll know if another Baby Boomer, the

:26:55. > :26:58.Chancellor, Philip Hammond, agrees. Tim Muffet, BBC News, Cromer.

:26:59. > :27:04.So, we will be finding out the answers to some of their questions

:27:05. > :27:07.and looking at those issues with experts later in the programme and

:27:08. > :27:12.we will talk to the residents we have here as well. Wrong, one of the

:27:13. > :27:17.guys, has told me he has to be in the gym in five so I have to get a

:27:18. > :27:22.move on -- wrong. Let's have a look around at the cafe, we have the pool

:27:23. > :27:26.as well with the darts. This is the village hall where they put on

:27:27. > :27:31.different productions, a certainly very busy place. And there is the

:27:32. > :27:34.allotment. Lots going on and I will be here through the morning talking

:27:35. > :27:39.to the residents and experts about what we might hear today in the

:27:40. > :27:41.budget. Presumably all having a nice tea right now! Thank you very much,

:27:42. > :27:44.Steph. Lots to look forward to! Time now to get the news,

:27:45. > :31:03.travel and weather where you are. I'm back with the latest

:31:04. > :31:06.from the BBC London newsroom Now, though, it's back

:31:07. > :31:10.to Louise and Dan. Hello this is Breakfast,

:31:11. > :31:12.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Coming up on Breakfast today:

:31:13. > :31:21.We are with Britain's only surviving Dambuster, as he revisits

:31:22. > :31:28.the scene of his finest hour. Jonny Johnson is calling

:31:29. > :31:31.for Bomber Command to be awarded It is International Women's Day,

:31:32. > :31:35.but we will be hearing how some of the UK's biggest sports

:31:36. > :31:37.still don't have enough We will be live at Lord's cricket

:31:38. > :31:44.ground to find out why. It was a role made

:31:45. > :31:46.famous by Helen Mirren. Now Jane Tennison is back

:31:47. > :31:49.on our screens, as Prime Suspect We will meet the star

:31:50. > :31:53.of a prequel, based in 1973. But now a summary of this

:31:54. > :31:57.morning's main news: The Chancellor, Philip Hammond,

:31:58. > :32:00.will use his first Budget later today to deliver an upbeat

:32:01. > :32:02.assessment of Britain's economic prospects, but he will acknowledge

:32:03. > :32:05.that more austerity lies ahead. He will stress that the Government

:32:06. > :32:08.won't shirk difficult decisions But he is expected to find extra

:32:09. > :32:13.money for social care in England, and to help soften the impact

:32:14. > :32:16.of changes to business rates. Our political correspondent

:32:17. > :32:18.Eleanor Garnier is in Eleanor, can we expect any big

:32:19. > :32:36.surprises in this Budget? I don't think there are going to be

:32:37. > :32:41.any big surprises or last minute fireworks. In fact, if that is what

:32:42. > :32:44.you are looking out for I think you will be disappointed. Having said

:32:45. > :32:48.that, I think this will be quite an up his speech. The Chancellor I am

:32:49. > :32:52.told will talk about the economy being resilient, that it has stood

:32:53. > :32:56.up after the referendum, but he is also going to admit that many

:32:57. > :32:59.families are facing the pinch and I think what is going to become clear

:33:00. > :33:03.later when the Chancellor gives the Budget is that austerity has not

:33:04. > :33:08.gone away. The Budget is still very tight, and there are still cuts to

:33:09. > :33:12.come and with Brexit on the horizon as well we shouldn't expect the

:33:13. > :33:16.Chancellor to make all his spending commitments now. He is going to hold

:33:17. > :33:20.something back so that, in his words, he has got enough gas in the

:33:21. > :33:23.tank as Britain leads the EU. Labour is putting pressure on the

:33:24. > :33:28.government to spend more on the NHS and social care and I think all the

:33:29. > :33:32.signs are that the Chancellor will find a bit of extra money for social

:33:33. > :33:37.care across England, but also to soften the impact of those business

:33:38. > :33:40.rate changes. Despite the economic forecast looking up, I don't think

:33:41. > :33:41.this is going to be a giveaway Budget.

:33:42. > :33:44.And we will be chatting to Steph about the Budget in around

:33:45. > :33:47.She has been looking at what different generations want

:33:48. > :33:58.Today, she is at a retirement village in Birmingham.

:33:59. > :34:00.Lord Heseltine has been sacked as a Government adviser

:34:01. > :34:03.after rebelling over the legislation that will allow Theresa May to begin

:34:04. > :34:08.Ministers suffered a second defeat on the bill in the House of Lords

:34:09. > :34:11.yesterday, but they will seek to overturn the amendments

:34:12. > :34:16.A former head of the CIA has said an apparent leak of thousands

:34:17. > :34:18.of the agency's files is incredibly damaging.

:34:19. > :34:20.The documents, which have been published by the website WikiLeaks,

:34:21. > :34:23.appear to reveal attempts to hack into electronic devices

:34:24. > :34:27.One file suggests the CIA and MI5 had discovered how to record

:34:28. > :34:29.conversations using a microphone in a Samsung smart TV,

:34:30. > :34:31.even when it appeared to be turned off.

:34:32. > :34:34.The CIA has refused to comment on the documents' authenticity,

:34:35. > :34:36.but the agency's former director Michael Hayden said

:34:37. > :34:52.This seems to be an incredibly damaging leak, in terms

:34:53. > :34:55.of the tactics, techniques, procedures and tools that were used

:34:56. > :34:57.by the Central Intelligence Agency to conduct legitimate foreign

:34:58. > :35:09.In other words, it's made my country, and my country's

:35:15. > :35:18.The vehicle was spotted near where the 23-year-old was last

:35:19. > :35:20.seen, and carried a much heavier load than first thought.

:35:21. > :35:23.A search of a landfill site in Cambridgeshire is under way.

:35:24. > :35:29.Mr McKeague was last seen on a night out on 24 September.

:35:30. > :35:32.Chocolate bars like Kit Kat, Yorkie and Aero will contain 10%

:35:33. > :35:35.That is according to their manufacturer, Nestle,

:35:36. > :35:38.who say sugar will be replaced with higher quantities of existing

:35:39. > :35:40.ingredients, or other, non-artificial ingredients.

:35:41. > :35:50.They say it could have a significant impact on public health.

:35:51. > :35:52.Visitors on a tour of the White House were given

:35:53. > :35:55.a surprise when President Trump turned up to greet them.

:35:56. > :35:58.In the first tour of the White House since his inauguration,

:35:59. > :36:01.he gestured for the children in the crowd to come over

:36:07. > :36:26.I can't quite see whether Borchardt is... There you go. -- where the

:36:27. > :36:30.portrait is. I think he has his own camera crew behind him, we are

:36:31. > :36:34.seeing the other side of things. I am sure you can find that video

:36:35. > :36:47.somewhere if you would like to see it. There was a lot of cheering,

:36:48. > :36:50.wasn't there? And in all the sport on International Women's Day, it is

:36:51. > :37:00.the top man at Arsenal in trouble. Yes, Arsenal again thrashed by

:37:01. > :37:04.Bayern Munich in the Champions League. And some fans were holding

:37:05. > :37:14.up Arsene Wenger out science. He is not doing well at the moment. -- out

:37:15. > :37:15.signs. Arsenal were humiliated

:37:16. > :37:17.in the Champions League. They suffered a 5-1 thrashing

:37:18. > :37:20.at home to Bayern Munich, losing 10-2 on aggregate,

:37:21. > :37:29.and exiting the competition Arsene Wenger, you are killing the

:37:30. > :37:33.club. Once they sang Arsene Wenger's name in happy voices. Now the future

:37:34. > :37:37.of the manager is a matter for direct action, rather than just

:37:38. > :37:40.discussion. Arsene Wenger out went the chart. Arsenal out the

:37:41. > :37:45.predictions. They were four goals down from the first leg. Why not

:37:46. > :37:48.have a go? Could they squeeze back into this? Hope died with the

:37:49. > :37:52.referee. First Bayern Munich penalty and then a yellow card

:37:53. > :37:59.controversially changed to read. His night was over, and so also was

:38:00. > :38:13.Arsenal's. Lewandowski started to fade to Bayern Munich grey. Robben

:38:14. > :38:19.2-1. Costa 3-1. In Boxing Day would call a match, instead Vidal was

:38:20. > :38:24.creative. A recurring nightmare, Vidal again, 10-2 on aggregate, 5-1

:38:25. > :38:32.on the night. An unwanted history for their manager, and the most

:38:33. > :38:39.uncertain future. The referee, I think, was very, very powerful four

:38:40. > :38:43.Bayern tonight. At the moment in the game where Lewandowski, not only was

:38:44. > :38:48.it not a penalty, he was offside. And it was not a penalty, on top of

:38:49. > :38:52.that he gives us a red card. That kill is completely. Overall I must

:38:53. > :38:56.say to Bayern can be a good side, but tonight they can as well say

:38:57. > :38:58.thank you to the decisions of the referee in the second half.

:38:59. > :38:59.In last night's other Champions League game,

:39:00. > :39:03.Real Madrid came from behind to beat Napoli 3-1 on the night,

:39:04. > :39:05.6-2 over two legs, to reach the quarter-finals.

:39:06. > :39:09.England women's didn't have much joy against German opponents, either.

:39:10. > :39:19.They lost 1-0 to Germany in the SheBelieves Cup,

:39:20. > :39:22.Anja Mittag with the goal for the European champions,

:39:23. > :39:27.France won the invitational tournament.

:39:28. > :39:33.The first half we were a bit disappointed with ourselves. I think

:39:34. > :39:38.we set out to do what we'd done, and the second half I think we got to

:39:39. > :39:42.grips with the game, and that was much more the England that we want

:39:43. > :39:46.to be. I think we put Germany on the back foot and I think in the end it

:39:47. > :39:49.came down to fine margins, and Germany took their chance when they

:39:50. > :39:49.got it, and we didn't, unfortunately.

:39:50. > :39:52.Team Sky have admitted mistakes were made around the delivery

:39:53. > :39:54.of a medical package to Sir Bradley Wiggins,

:39:55. > :39:59.The team have been unable to provide records to back up the claim Wiggins

:40:00. > :40:03.was given a legal decongestant at a race in France in 2011.

:40:04. > :40:05.Team Sky say they take full responsibility for the failures.

:40:06. > :40:10.There is a boost for England ahead of their Six Nations

:40:28. > :40:29.against a Scotland side captained by John Barclay,

:40:30. > :40:38.And finally, Eddie the Eagle has gone back to the ski-jump,

:40:39. > :40:43.Here he is in Calgary, where his rose to fame in the 1988

:40:44. > :41:01.His furthest jump was around 24 metres.

:41:02. > :41:07.That is not even half the distance he jumped 29 years ago.

:41:08. > :41:18.What do you think of this technique? In all fairness, it is terrifying,

:41:19. > :41:24.isn't it? And he is 30 years older than he was back then. I give him

:41:25. > :41:29.props for even attempting to fly off a steep slope like that. Nice to see

:41:30. > :41:32.the Eagle back on our television. The death of a white rhino

:41:33. > :41:36.at the hand of poachers in a Paris zoo has left many conservationists

:41:37. > :41:39.in shock, as the hunt Vince, a four year old rhino,

:41:40. > :41:43.was shot and had one his horns hacked off, in what is believed

:41:44. > :41:46.to be the first such Joining us from Amsterdam

:41:47. > :41:49.is David Williams-Mitchell from the European Association

:41:50. > :42:00.of Zoos and Aquaria. Thank you very much for your time

:42:01. > :42:04.this morning. I know that this zoo is one of your members. What can you

:42:05. > :42:12.tell us about the investigation so far? What do you know? What we know

:42:13. > :42:18.so far is that the animal was shot the night before last, when

:42:19. > :42:23.intruders managed to break in through secure panels and through

:42:24. > :42:28.secure doors into the zoo, into the house where the rhinos were kept,

:42:29. > :42:32.and was shot three times in the head. They took one of the horns

:42:33. > :42:39.from the animal, but had to leave the other one behind, which the

:42:40. > :42:43.police believe means that they were either disturbed or their equipment

:42:44. > :42:47.malfunctioned. We know that they obviously had a plan for what they

:42:48. > :42:51.wanted to do, because they brought a chainsaw with them to cut that worn

:42:52. > :42:56.off, as well. I know this is the first time we have had an attack

:42:57. > :42:59.like this at a zoo in Europe. Is this something that your zoo is

:43:00. > :43:03.planned for, expecting to happen, or is this a bit of a game changer? No,

:43:04. > :43:08.I mean, obviously all of our members are aware of the threat of poaching,

:43:09. > :43:13.primarily because of the threat that is happening in Africa and in the

:43:14. > :43:18.Indian subcontinent. We all know how much rhino horn is worth, so

:43:19. > :43:24.obviously security measures for all rhino holders across a network is

:43:25. > :43:28.very high. And we still hear stories, as you say, about the

:43:29. > :43:34.demands for the horn of a rhino, the fact that it can fetch thousands of

:43:35. > :43:38.pounds. Why is it so special? Is it still used for medicinal reasons in

:43:39. > :43:42.the far East? It is. I think it is mystifying, really, that this myth

:43:43. > :43:46.that it has any kind of medical effectiveness continues. It is made

:43:47. > :43:48.of the same substance that makes up your fingernails, so it has

:43:49. > :43:53.absolutely no scientifically backed findings which say that it has

:43:54. > :43:58.medical effectiveness, which makes it a doubly senseless crime. It is

:43:59. > :44:03.shocking that an animal of this size and of this level of endangerment

:44:04. > :44:07.should be shot to essentially provide a product which does

:44:08. > :44:10.nothing. It seems that the poachers are willing to put themselves in

:44:11. > :44:15.danger, even going into the rhino enclosure to get this horn. Do you

:44:16. > :44:20.think some of the zoos you look after and others as well will be

:44:21. > :44:24.increasing security in the light of what we have seen? Well, like I said

:44:25. > :44:29.to you before, the security is already pretty high. We do take the

:44:34. > :44:38.can do when you have armed gangs breaking into a zoo. If they are

:44:39. > :44:42.willing to be in an enclosure with a two ton animal and have the ability

:44:43. > :44:47.to shoot it and remove its horn, there is really only so much you can

:44:48. > :44:49.do. Thank you very much for talking to us. And the pictures that you

:44:50. > :45:01.see, it is pretty grim, isn't it? Carol has all the details, what's

:45:02. > :45:06.occurring? Temperature wise we have a real variety, where we have a lot

:45:07. > :45:10.of cloud and rain, temperatures in Hereford, Cardiff and Birmingham

:45:11. > :45:14.between ten and 12. Yesterday the maximum in the south-western quarter

:45:15. > :45:19.was nine, overnight it actually went up. Under clearer skies as we go

:45:20. > :45:24.northwards, with variable amounts of cloud, that temperature gets lower

:45:25. > :45:29.the further north you travel. -1 here. What we have today is some

:45:30. > :45:34.rain in the south, at times it will be heavy, at times drizzly and some

:45:35. > :45:37.sunshine in the north. Overnight the first set of fronts have gone

:45:38. > :45:42.through, bringing some rain, the second front, the cold front, is

:45:43. > :45:46.going southwards and bringing some rain across southern areas, albeit

:45:47. > :45:51.fairly patchy. At the other end of the country it is windy, windy in

:45:52. > :45:55.the Western Isles, showers packing in, falling as snow in the hills but

:45:56. > :46:00.for much of the rest of Scotland, some sunshine. Not a bad start and

:46:01. > :46:03.not as windy in Northern Ireland with some sunshine and variable

:46:04. > :46:07.cloud and the clouds breaking up to allow sunshine in northern England

:46:08. > :46:11.and north Wales. Here right across the south of Wales and southern

:46:12. > :46:14.England we have our weather front and that is what is producing the

:46:15. > :46:19.rain. As we go through today that will drift further east and also

:46:20. > :46:24.south and in doing so what it will do is be heavy at times, it will pep

:46:25. > :46:29.up and then it will tend to lose some of its intensity. It will also

:46:30. > :46:34.be quite breezy across the south, a lot of low cloud around and general

:46:35. > :46:38.murk. Temperatures up to 13 or 14 in London but not feeling particularly

:46:39. > :46:43.pleasant. As you go further north, northern England, Northern Ireland,

:46:44. > :46:47.a beautiful day, a lot of sunshine, temperatures could be higher than 12

:46:48. > :46:54.or 13, but more showers in Northern Scotland and through the day the

:46:55. > :46:57.strongest winds will move through the north-west Highlands, into the

:46:58. > :47:00.north-west of Scotland and into the Northern Isles. Through the evening

:47:01. > :47:04.and overnight we have the showers that could be windy, meanwhile in

:47:05. > :47:08.the south the weather front drifts into the English Channel. Breezy

:47:09. > :47:12.with it and eventually we'll see some of the rain getting into the

:47:13. > :47:15.Channel Islands. Mild in the south, colder in the north. As we head on

:47:16. > :47:20.through Thursday itself, this weather front still very much in in

:47:21. > :47:25.the English Channel will start to pivot and take a swipe at Cornwall.

:47:26. > :47:30.Quite a bit of cloud associated with this, even so it will break up and

:47:31. > :47:34.someone said to the north of London it could get to 16 tomorrow. North

:47:35. > :47:38.of that weather front in Scotland, Northern Ireland, much of England

:47:39. > :47:42.and Wales, a fine and dry day and feeling quite pleasant in the light

:47:43. > :47:45.winds. Temperatures above where they should be at this stage in March.

:47:46. > :47:49.Thanks very much. See you in half an hour or so.

:47:50. > :47:51.Steph's been playing the Generation Game this week

:47:52. > :48:00.Today, her focus is Baby Boomers, that's those born

:48:01. > :48:03.between the end of the Second World War and the early '60s.

:48:04. > :48:12.She is at a retirement home. Good morning. This is a retirement home

:48:13. > :48:16.with a village, it is very posh! Abysses Bournville Gardens, I'm at

:48:17. > :48:23.the bar, too early for drinks but not for breakfast, some have come

:48:24. > :48:27.down to get their gardens. -- I'm at Bournville Gardens. There are one

:48:28. > :48:30.and 2-bedroom apartments really here but the point is making later life

:48:31. > :48:34.more comfortable. We have gathered some of them to have a chat about

:48:35. > :48:39.what they would like to hear from the Chancellor. We have Elaine, one

:48:40. > :48:45.of the early risers. Good morning. Good morning. What would you like to

:48:46. > :48:48.hear from the Chancellor? I'm not sure I will hear anything positive

:48:49. > :48:52.from the Chancellor because he hasn't got enough muggy to throw

:48:53. > :48:56.around, he will have to rob peter to pay Paul, but I want to see him

:48:57. > :49:02.concentrating on social care so we don't get all the hospitals clogged

:49:03. > :49:08.up with beds that are being used... There's not enough care in the home.

:49:09. > :49:12.There's no money. More importantly, with my grandchildren, I would like

:49:13. > :49:18.to see them on the housing ladder at some point and at the moment I can't

:49:19. > :49:22.see how that could happen. With the care area of things, that is

:49:23. > :49:28.something which... Does it worry you? It does slightly, but for other

:49:29. > :49:32.people, we are fine here because we have saved and made sure that we

:49:33. > :49:36.have got opportunities in our old age to look after ourselves. A lot

:49:37. > :49:42.of people don't have those opportunities. You're quite lucky.

:49:43. > :49:47.Very lucky in fact. I will let you finish your bacon butty, thank you.

:49:48. > :49:51.I can see you messing around in the background, I will see you in the

:49:52. > :49:56.gym shortly and putting you through your paces! Their terrible! I have

:49:57. > :50:00.some guests here, Marion, who has written a book about dealing with

:50:01. > :50:04.later life and we heard about Elaine talking about social care and

:50:05. > :50:08.concern about her grandchildren, give us the wider picture on the

:50:09. > :50:14.concerns that elderly people have in later life? Elaine is right, the key

:50:15. > :50:18.thing and the serious issue is social care, that is in a dire

:50:19. > :50:25.Strait and I suspect Philip Hammond will announce some kind of measures

:50:26. > :50:29.but what we need is not kind of some sticking plaster, we need social

:50:30. > :50:34.care on a sustainable basis because it is a really important thing. You

:50:35. > :50:38.have to separate that from other concerns older people have. That is

:50:39. > :50:44.the really serious one. Elaine mention her grandchildren and

:50:45. > :50:47.housing, we have come to a moment where there's a certain amount of

:50:48. > :50:51.resentment in the wider population about some of the universal benefits

:50:52. > :50:59.older people have. We have to look at those pensioner perks and think

:51:00. > :51:03.about them really seriously. A lot of them were introduced for no rhyme

:51:04. > :51:07.or reason, like the winter fuel allowance, some of these things have

:51:08. > :51:11.got to be means tested. When you say think about them you think may be

:51:12. > :51:16.cut back on some of them because older people are getting too much?

:51:17. > :51:20.The thing is, some older people are tremendously wealthy and some older

:51:21. > :51:25.people aren't. You have to make sure those who aren't wealthy have got a

:51:26. > :51:29.good life. But the fact is, if you're a millionaire you get a

:51:30. > :51:32.winter fuel payment and your TV licence if you're over 75, you have

:51:33. > :51:37.to look at these things and the thing I would like to see Philip

:51:38. > :51:42.Hammond look at is inheritance tax. George Osborne in 2015 massively

:51:43. > :51:47.increased the exemption for inheritance tax so if you're married

:51:48. > :51:52.or in a civil partnership and you pass on your main home to your

:51:53. > :51:57.children you get ?1 million exemption from inheritance tax,

:51:58. > :52:01.which bumps up the price of housing. It's also colossally unfair for

:52:02. > :52:05.people, so you have a massive divide between people who inherit a lot and

:52:06. > :52:10.people who don't. As I say, you're bumping up housing prices and that's

:52:11. > :52:14.not good for everyone so you bring down the threshold for inheritance

:52:15. > :52:19.tax and you let people bequeathed money, but you don't give them this

:52:20. > :52:26.colossal amount, which is so damaging and it causes resentment.

:52:27. > :52:31.Social care is the key one, we have to have money for that. Marion,

:52:32. > :52:35.thank you for that. We will talk to an economist later in the programme

:52:36. > :52:40.as well about how this might work. If you have any thoughts then get in

:52:41. > :52:44.touch, some of the things Marion was saying might be controversial so let

:52:45. > :52:48.me know your thoughts. I'm going to the gym with these guys, don't you

:52:49. > :52:53.look at me like that, just finish your bacon butty is! I think they

:52:54. > :52:58.might give you a Run for Your Wife the! -- butties. See you in the gym

:52:59. > :53:00.later, Steph! The story of the Dambusters is one

:53:01. > :53:03.of the most famous tales But you might not know that

:53:04. > :53:07.Bomber Command have never been Now Britain's last surviving

:53:08. > :53:12.Dambuster is calling for his unit George 'Johnny' Johnson who served

:53:23. > :53:24.Johnny back to Germany, to the spot where

:53:25. > :53:36.he dropped his bomb. Johnnie Johnson may be looking at

:53:37. > :53:43.the present but he's seen the past. He's back three quarters of a

:53:44. > :53:47.century to aiming at night, an almost impossible mission, death and

:53:48. > :53:54.glory. It was a thrilling experience on the no other way to describe it.

:53:55. > :53:58.As a young man he was part of RAF bomber command, part of the

:53:59. > :54:03.sustained legal campaign against the Nazis' war machine that all but

:54:04. > :54:10.destroyed many of Germany's it is. Johnny flew on 50 missions --

:54:11. > :54:17.Germany's it is. This is a huge lake held back by the grades Zorko dam.

:54:24. > :54:27.quiet, peaceful -- Germany's cities. 70 years ago it was the target for

:54:28. > :54:31.the most famous bombing raid in history. The mission involved

:54:32. > :54:37.dropping specially invented bombs designed to differ destroy the three

:54:38. > :54:44.targets, captured in the 1950s film the Dambusters. As a bomb aim,

:54:45. > :54:50.Johnny Johnson of the job was to hit these all per down. -- aimer. Our

:54:51. > :54:54.briefing was to fly across the dam to drop the bomb as near as possible

:54:55. > :54:59.to the centre of the dam. It was something we haven't practised at

:55:00. > :55:03.all in training, that type of attack, so it was practice,

:55:04. > :55:09.practice, practice here until we got it right and that was the only way

:55:10. > :55:13.you could do it -- hadn't. Fritz, then 14, was hiding in a tunnel

:55:14. > :55:17.under the dam that night. TRANSLATION: The doors inside the

:55:18. > :55:28.dam burst open and there was an enormous gush of wind. All the

:55:29. > :55:38.children were screaming. It was chaos. Johnny's bomb was spot-on,

:55:39. > :55:47.but not enough to breach these all per. But the other Dambusters Luke

:55:48. > :55:51.Braid holes in the other dams. Historians said Bomber Command's

:55:52. > :55:55.role in the Second World War remains controversial to this date. I do

:55:56. > :56:00.think the reluctance to issue a Bomber Command medal at this stage

:56:01. > :56:04.does reflect how controversial it is and the possible upset it could

:56:05. > :56:08.cause in Germany if they do, decorating these people that

:56:09. > :56:13.destroyed our parents' cities. Johnny was awarded a distinguished

:56:14. > :56:16.flying medal, he feels Bomber Command have never been properly

:56:17. > :56:22.rewarded with a campaign medal. Three years ago they were given a

:56:23. > :56:27.class but Johnny says it was a snub. Disgusted is the best way I can

:56:28. > :56:39.describe it. I feel there's been no attempt to recognise the sacrifice

:56:40. > :56:45.those people made. History now. Now is to old men by the side of a lake

:56:46. > :56:53.where they both nearly died long ago. -- two old men. Adversaries

:56:58. > :57:01.Nice to have Michael Burke on the programme. Amazing men!

:57:02. > :57:05.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:57:06. > :00:35.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:36. > :00:37.The Chancellor prepares for his first Budget,

:00:38. > :00:40.with an upbeat message on the economy.

:00:41. > :00:43.There is expected to be extra money for social care,

:00:44. > :00:50.but there will be few other giveaways.

:00:51. > :00:56.All this week I have been talking to different generations about what

:00:57. > :01:04.they would like to see from the Budget. Today I am talking to the

:01:05. > :01:05.post-war Baby Boomers. And we are here at the Bournville retirement

:01:06. > :01:13.village. Good morning, it is

:01:14. > :01:16.Wednesday 8 March. Also this morning: Lord Heseltine

:01:17. > :01:19.is sacked as a Government advisor after rebelling in

:01:20. > :01:25.a vote over Brexit. Could our televisions

:01:51. > :02:06.of the Second World War's Good morning. We have got a 3-way

:02:07. > :02:10.split in the weather today. In the north, showery and windy. Through

:02:11. > :02:14.the central swathes of the country, although it is cloudy with some

:02:15. > :02:18.drizzle, it will brighten up and you will see some sunshine. In the

:02:19. > :02:22.south, cloudy, with rain at times and drizzle, but it will be mild.

:02:23. > :02:25.First, our main story: An upbeat assessment of the economy,

:02:26. > :02:28.but a warning that more austerity lies ahead -

:02:29. > :02:31.they are expected to be the key messages when the Chancellor,

:02:32. > :02:32.Philip Hammond, delivers first Budget later today.

:02:33. > :02:35.He will stress that the Government won't shirk difficult decisions

:02:36. > :02:39.to deal with the deficit, but he is expected to find extra

:02:40. > :02:42.money for social care in England, and to help soften the impact

:02:43. > :02:49.Here is our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier.

:02:50. > :02:51.He is the man known in Westminster as Spreadsheet Phil,

:02:52. > :02:55.the cautious Treasury chief in charge of the numbers.

:02:56. > :02:58.So, as the Chancellor does his sums, what has he got to consider?

:02:59. > :03:02.Well, the big issue that is dominating is Brexit.

:03:03. > :03:06.As the UK prepares to leave the EU, Mr Hammond says he is focused

:03:07. > :03:10.on keeping the economy resilient, with a warning this is no time

:03:11. > :03:18.Even so, there will be cash for new free schools,

:03:19. > :03:21.and money to shake up vocational and technical training

:03:22. > :03:30.But the Chancellor is under pressure to spend more on public services,

:03:31. > :03:32.with claims social care is in crisis, and repeated calls

:03:33. > :03:38.Plus, pleas to help soften the blow for small firms hit by a change

:03:39. > :03:46.Mr Hammond might have chucked out his predecessor's timetable

:03:47. > :03:49.for dealing with the deficit, but both he and the Prime Minister

:03:50. > :03:53.still believe balancing the books is the only way to ensure a stable

:03:54. > :04:00.And Eleanor is in Downing Street this morning.

:04:01. > :04:08.What are we expecting from the Chancellor today, when he comes out

:04:09. > :04:13.of number 11? Do you think it will be a Budget of surprises, or as we

:04:14. > :04:17.said that, do we know much of what will be inside? I don't think there

:04:18. > :04:22.are going to be any surprises, and if you are looking for fireworks

:04:23. > :04:26.this afternoon, I think you will be disappointed. Having said that, I am

:04:27. > :04:29.told it is going to be in a big speech. The Chancellor will say that

:04:30. > :04:33.the economy has proved to be resilient but he will also admit

:04:34. > :04:37.that there are many families who are feeling the pinch. And I think what

:04:38. > :04:42.we are going to learn later today is that posterity is here to stay. It

:04:43. > :04:46.hasn't gone away. -- austerity. There are still cuts to come which

:04:47. > :04:49.will have human consequences and with Brexit just around the corner

:04:50. > :04:53.we shouldn't expect the Chancellor to make lots of spending commit and

:04:54. > :04:57.is now. He is going to want to keep some of that spending back with the

:04:58. > :05:01.uncertain future ahead -- commitments now. Labour is

:05:02. > :05:05.pressuring the government to spend more on the NHS and social care and

:05:06. > :05:09.all the signs are that the Chancellor has found some extra

:05:10. > :05:13.money for social care across England, and also some extra cash to

:05:14. > :05:17.help soften the blow of those changes to business rates. So yes,

:05:18. > :05:22.the economic forecast might be looking up, but I don't think this

:05:23. > :05:27.is going to be a giveaway Budget. In just for clarity, before we let you

:05:28. > :05:32.go, I know you are important but have they allowed you to park your

:05:33. > :05:37.motor right outside number 11? Well, this is the car I came to work in,

:05:38. > :05:41.and I have another car here that I am going to be going home end. I am

:05:42. > :05:46.squeezed between the cars in Downing Street. It is so busy on Budget day,

:05:47. > :05:51.it is chock-a-block around here. And just in case you think she was being

:05:52. > :05:56.serious, she was of course joking. I can see the e-mails flooding in

:05:57. > :06:07.about DBC wagers! Quite right, they are not her cars. -- BBC wages.

:06:08. > :06:10.And we will be chatting to Steph about the Budget in around

:06:11. > :06:13.She has been looking at what different generations want

:06:14. > :06:17.Today she is at a retirement village in Birmingham.

:06:18. > :06:19.Lord Heseltine has been sacked as a Government adviser

:06:20. > :06:21.after rebelling in a vote over Brexit.

:06:22. > :06:24.The Government suffered a second defeat in the House of Lords,

:06:25. > :06:26.as peers backed calls for a meaningful Parliamentary vote

:06:27. > :06:31.Ministers say they will seek to overturn the move when the bill

:06:32. > :06:34.Here is our political correspondent Chris Mason.

:06:35. > :06:38.Just like Ken Clarke in the Commons, Lord Heseltine was determined

:06:39. > :06:40.to remain vociferously pro-European after the referendum,

:06:41. > :06:44.It ensures that Parliament has the critical role in determining

:06:45. > :06:47.the future that we will bequeath to generations of young people,

:06:48. > :06:51.and I urge your Lordships to support the amendment.

:06:52. > :06:54.But, hours later, he learned he had been fired from five

:06:55. > :07:08.This is the Prime Minister exercising her perfectly legitimate

:07:09. > :07:11.right to get rid of opposition in any way she thinks appropriate,

:07:12. > :07:21.Whether it's the right - wise thing to do is a matter

:07:22. > :07:24.His sacking illustrates Downing Street's determination

:07:25. > :07:25.to pointedly press ahead with Brexit.

:07:26. > :07:29.Next week the bill heads down the corridor, back to the Commons.

:07:30. > :07:34.Will Conservative rebels there be up for a fight?

:07:35. > :07:37.I will continue to believe that that is the right thing to do,

:07:38. > :07:41.for there to be a vote in both Houses, deal or no deal,

:07:42. > :07:43.and if I have to vote against my Government again,

:07:44. > :07:51.We have discussed, deliberated and scrutinised both of these issues

:07:52. > :07:54.before, at length, and we still declined to accept the amendments

:07:55. > :08:02.that have been passed in the House of Lords.

:08:03. > :08:06.We've heard no new arguments, they've come up with no new ideas,

:08:07. > :08:09.so I expect the House of Commons to pass the bill unamended.

:08:10. > :08:11.Whatever happens next week, the Prime Minister does remain

:08:12. > :08:15.on course to be able to begin Brexit negotiations before the end

:08:16. > :08:23.And we will be talking to Lord Heseltine after 8:00am.

:13:47. > :13:48.Former Lords leader Lord Strathclyde, who voted

:13:49. > :13:51.with the Government last night, joins us now from our

:13:52. > :13:58.Good morning to you. Thank you very much for joining us. This now goes

:13:59. > :14:03.back to the Commons. What are your thoughts about what seems to be

:14:04. > :14:08.happening? Things being sent to the Lords and back to the Commons, is at

:14:09. > :14:14.undermining the process? I think under our bicameral system, in other

:14:15. > :14:17.words having two houses to look at these things, the House of Lords is

:14:18. > :14:21.entirely within its right to the centre-back amendments. Whether it

:14:22. > :14:25.was wise to do so is another matter and I advise my colleagues in the

:14:26. > :14:28.House of Lords not to vote down the government legislation. But as you

:14:29. > :14:32.rightly pointed out, this now goes back to the House of Commons, and

:14:33. > :14:35.when the House of Commons has dealt with it, and I'm assume end they

:14:36. > :14:39.will send back these amendments, then with that singed, I hope the

:14:40. > :14:43.House of Lords, an unelected house where the government does not have a

:14:44. > :14:47.majority, will at that stage backed down and that the Prime Minister

:14:48. > :14:51.signed this section 50 document and we've can start the very serious

:14:52. > :14:56.negotiations with the European Union. Is it in some ways than a

:14:57. > :15:00.case of flexing their muscles? Because if you say they are likely

:15:01. > :15:03.to back down... You say hope, how likely is it?

:15:04. > :15:10.At this stage none of us can tell and I think much of it will depend

:15:11. > :15:13.on the tone of the debate in the Commons when the government puts its

:15:14. > :15:18.case again to the Commons. The Lord's will be listening very

:15:19. > :15:23.carefully to that and to the way public opinion is turning. Remember,

:15:24. > :15:27.the authority for this doesn't come from the government or the Commons,

:15:28. > :15:32.it comes from the people in the referendum last year. I think the

:15:33. > :15:35.House of Lords would be wise not to put itself against the will of the

:15:36. > :15:39.people as expressed in last year, and I hope that's what will happen.

:15:40. > :15:44.There are conservatives who rebelled and some of them have been sacked,

:15:45. > :15:49.including Lord Heseltine. Is that extreme or the right thing for the

:15:50. > :15:52.Prime Minister to be doing? Michael Heseltine is a major political

:15:53. > :15:56.figure and he's dominated the politics of this country over many

:15:57. > :16:01.years. I don't suppose he will particularly missed the role. The

:16:02. > :16:07.government has a responsibility to maintain a sense of discipline. --

:16:08. > :16:12.miss. Michael Heseltine has been a very firm critic of the European

:16:13. > :16:15.policy, he very much opposes what happened in the referendum and the

:16:16. > :16:20.government have decided that there's a cost attached to that and so he's

:16:21. > :16:25.been removed as an adviser. As Michael has all-time himself has

:16:26. > :16:29.said, recognises the government have said they are able to do that, it's

:16:30. > :16:34.up to them and they've minded the right decision -- Michael Heseltine.

:16:35. > :16:42.Looking forward, do you think what is going on is going to delay? --

:16:43. > :16:48.they've made. Do you think it will be delayed? Last night in the House

:16:49. > :16:50.of Lords there was an important vote when the Labour Party and the

:16:51. > :16:55.Conservative Party overwhelmingly came together against a Lib Dem

:16:56. > :17:00.amendment to try to stop the bill, that was hugely defeated. That's a

:17:01. > :17:03.signal there is now some reality in the Lord's about what's going to

:17:04. > :17:07.happen. I don't think that will be delayed, I think it will become law

:17:08. > :17:11.next week and I think the Prime Minister will be able to carry on in

:17:12. > :17:16.the way she's always intended. Lord Strathclyde, thank you for your time

:17:17. > :17:20.on Breakfast. We are speaking to Lord Heseltine as well a bit later

:17:21. > :17:24.for his opinion about what's happened and his sacking effectively

:17:25. > :17:28.from the roles he had. That will be at around 8:30 a.m., loads of big

:17:29. > :17:31.interviews coming your way between now and 8:15am.

:17:32. > :17:39.Time to get the weather with Carol and the daffodils are out. They are,

:17:40. > :17:43.and the rest! It is lovely, spring is certainly here but temperature

:17:44. > :17:49.wise, not doing too badly, look at these at the moment. Yesterday the

:17:50. > :17:56.maximum is in parts of the south-western quarter were eight or

:17:57. > :18:01.nine, of the night they went up. -- maximums. Belfast into Edinburgh and

:18:02. > :18:06.also Balmoral, the temperatures are lower. We have some cloud around but

:18:07. > :18:10.also clear skies. Briefly what the forecast is for this morning is rain

:18:11. > :18:14.in the south, sunshine in the north, that doesn't tell the whole story.

:18:15. > :18:17.We all saw some rain overnight as the weather front pushed into the

:18:18. > :18:22.North Sea but you can see another front very much with us, moving down

:18:23. > :18:26.to the south and that's what's producing milder conditions, also

:18:27. > :18:30.the cloud and rain. We have showers and windy conditions in Scotland,

:18:31. > :18:34.very windy in the Western Isles at the moment, some showers falling as

:18:35. > :18:41.snow in the hills and also a lot of thunder and lightning this morning

:18:42. > :18:45.in the north-west. Sunny skies developing across northern England

:18:46. > :18:49.and north Wales. For East Anglia, into the Midlands, through south

:18:50. > :18:54.Wales and southern counties, it is mild but it is cloudy, some drizzle

:18:55. > :18:58.or you've got some rain. Through the day this system will slowly sinks

:18:59. > :19:03.out and move a bit further east and what you'll find is the rain will

:19:04. > :19:06.wax and wane, if you don't have the rain the chances are it will be

:19:07. > :19:09.great and you could see some drizzle. In northern England or

:19:10. > :19:14.Northern Ireland today, parts of Scotland away from the showers, a

:19:15. > :19:21.beautiful day with sunshine. 11, 12, 13 or 14 in the north. Not feeling

:19:22. > :19:24.as special because of the cloud and also rain stoppage as we head

:19:25. > :19:27.through the evening and overnight our weather front drifts through the

:19:28. > :19:32.English Channel, windy around it, that will later get into the Channel

:19:33. > :19:36.Islands. Behind it the cloud will break here and there, more showers

:19:37. > :19:40.in the north and west and some of those will be wintry. Cooler in the

:19:41. > :19:44.north, milder once again in the south. These temperatures ten and 11

:19:45. > :19:49.are our overnight low list temperatures, we would expect to see

:19:50. > :19:52.that by date and even by day in the south that would be a good

:19:53. > :20:00.temperature for this stage in March -- lowest temperatures -- by the

:20:01. > :20:05.day. The cloud associated with that in the south will break up tomorrow,

:20:06. > :20:10.so tomorrow for the bulk of the UK, bar some showers in the far north,

:20:11. > :20:15.another beautiful day. Largely dry, a fair bit of sunshine, temperatures

:20:16. > :20:20.in the north, seven to ten. As we go south, 11 to 15, but somewhere to

:20:21. > :20:30.the north of London could get to 16, 61 in old muggy. For March, when you

:20:31. > :20:32.consider the average is ten, that is pretty good. I do like it warmer.

:20:33. > :20:34.Thank you, Carol! All this week we've been looking

:20:35. > :20:38.at what different generations want from the Chancellor

:20:39. > :20:40.and the Budget this lunchtime. Steph's been busy, she's

:20:41. > :20:42.been in Scotland talking to young people, and yesterday

:20:43. > :20:44.was making sausages Today she's with babyboomers at

:20:45. > :20:56.a retirement village in Birmingham. Good morning, Steph. Good morning

:20:57. > :20:59.and good morning, everybody, welcome to Bournville Gardens, I'm in the

:21:00. > :21:05.residence area now but look over the side, you can see where we are. --

:21:06. > :21:09.residents. This is a retirement village with 300 residents, we have

:21:10. > :21:13.been chatting to some of them this morning and we will through the

:21:14. > :21:19.morning, there a hairdressers, there's a village hall where they

:21:20. > :21:23.put on events, a gym, IT suite, a well-being centre, a landscape

:21:24. > :21:28.garden out the back and a greenhouse where they can tend to the plants

:21:29. > :21:39.and fruit and veg. It is certainly a busy place, but the whole point is

:21:40. > :21:45.to make in later life have more independence and more community. The

:21:46. > :21:50.rent is something like ?135 a week but if you're on benefits it can go

:21:51. > :21:53.down to ?35 a week. It's about bringing people with different

:21:54. > :21:57.backgrounds together but all of those in later life, the post-war

:21:58. > :22:01.baby boomers and beyond and that's who we are focused on today, talking

:22:02. > :22:05.to them about what they want to hear from the Chancellor. Tim Muffet went

:22:06. > :22:07.to see some of them at a walking club in North Norfolk.

:22:08. > :22:09.The Walkers are Welcome walking club of Cromer,

:22:10. > :22:18.open to all ages, but today's group are all Baby Boomers,

:22:19. > :22:19.plus Hillary's granddaughter, Gabrielle.

:22:20. > :22:21.You're a lucky generation, aren't you?

:22:22. > :22:25.Yes, we were very lucky and it is a strain on younger people

:22:26. > :22:28.nowadays that don't have those facilities that we had so readily

:22:29. > :22:32.I really enjoyed being a Baby Boomer.

:22:33. > :22:37.I'm grateful for so many things throughout my life.

:22:38. > :22:40.The access to education that I had, the ability to get a training

:22:41. > :22:45.and a vocation to get a job, the ease at which as a young man

:22:46. > :22:48.I could move from one job to another.

:22:49. > :22:53.By the time of the next general election, more than a third

:22:54. > :22:56.of the population of North Norfolk will be aged over 65,

:22:57. > :23:03.it's one of just two regions in the UK where that's the case.

:23:04. > :23:07.Compared to other generations, Baby Boomers are very

:23:08. > :23:12.Politicians very keen to keep them happy.

:23:13. > :23:17.The Baby Boomers born between 1946 and 1965 are nearing the end

:23:18. > :23:19.of their careers and approaching retirement.

:23:20. > :23:22.On the surface, it looks like they've done quite well

:23:23. > :23:24.in recent years with things like the triple lock protecting

:23:25. > :23:28.But the big concern for this group is social care.

:23:29. > :23:32.Even for the wealthy it can wipe out their assets and for both rich

:23:33. > :23:40.So, despite the views and fresh air of Cromer,

:23:41. > :23:45.The general things that council supply are all being cut and that

:23:46. > :23:49.obviously includes care for the elderly.

:23:50. > :23:52.People in Cromer have to think very carefully

:23:53. > :24:02.In this budget I would like more money spent on healthcare

:24:03. > :24:06.and elderly care and to pay for this money can be taken from defence.

:24:07. > :24:09.You need to look after the younger ones to prepare them

:24:10. > :24:13.In this year's Budget I'd like to see more money spent

:24:14. > :24:16.on informal education and to achieve this I'd like to see

:24:17. > :24:22.In this Budget I'd like to see more money spent on preparing our youth,

:24:23. > :24:31.And in the budget I'd like to see less spent on the military.

:24:32. > :24:32.Hillary organises walks across Norfolk.

:24:33. > :24:36.For her, exercise is the best investment.

:24:37. > :24:39.I think it's important they spend their money on ways

:24:40. > :24:43.I think we should spend more on promoting physical education

:24:44. > :24:46.certainly in youngsters and less on the arts where I think it's not

:24:47. > :24:52.Soon we'll know if another Baby Boomer, the Chancellor,

:24:53. > :25:09.So there we go, some of the thoughts of the Baby Boomers in North

:25:10. > :25:15.Norfolk. We've managed to get them in the gym, Elaine and Tom here, I

:25:16. > :25:19.talked to them earlier, gym kit on, already on the machines. We will

:25:20. > :25:22.talk to experts here and more of the residents about what they want to

:25:23. > :25:25.hear from the Chancellor, lots of different views, some concerned

:25:26. > :25:29.about social care and the money going into that, that is something

:25:30. > :25:33.they will need in later life. Also about their grandchildren and what

:25:34. > :25:41.will happen to them. So a real mixed bag and we will talk to them later

:25:42. > :25:45.in the programme here. They're not even out of breath, look at Tom, he

:25:46. > :25:49.is going for it, and watching himself on TV! I am impressed they

:25:50. > :25:52.obviously watch... I don't know how to describe that breakfast programme

:25:53. > :25:56.on the television but I think it is excellent, Steph! See you later!

:25:57. > :26:02.You're watching yourself to make sure you're in the best position.

:26:03. > :26:02.Arms, legs, slide, I can never remember!

:26:03. > :26:08.Author and Actor Gillian Anderson will be joining us to talk

:26:09. > :26:12.about the book which she says is a road map for the life

:26:13. > :26:18.She will be here later to talk to us all about that on International

:26:19. > :26:20.Women's Day. And with the journalist who she wrote it with. Both of them

:26:21. > :26:23.will be on the sofa with us. Time now to get the news,

:26:24. > :29:54.travel and weather where you are. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:29:55. > :30:04.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond,

:30:05. > :30:07.will use his first Budget later today to deliver an upbeat

:30:08. > :30:09.assessment of Britain's economic prospects, but he will acknowledge

:30:10. > :30:12.that more austerity lies ahead. He will stress that the Government

:30:13. > :30:15.won't shirk difficult decisions to deal with the deficit,

:30:16. > :30:18.but he is expected to find extra money for social care in England,

:30:19. > :30:21.and to help soften the impact Our political correspondent

:30:22. > :30:24.Eleanor Garnier is in Eleanor, can we expect any big

:30:25. > :30:39.surprises in this Budget? Here is the door of number 11. There

:30:40. > :30:43.is a Cabinet meeting, and one of our Cabinet crew there as well, checking

:30:44. > :30:48.his hair. There will be a meeting at about 8am, a Cabinet meeting, and

:30:49. > :30:52.there is the waiting world's media. They have now moved the cars which

:30:53. > :30:57.were there earlier this morning. We will have more from their later and

:30:58. > :30:58.throughout the day on BBC News as well.

:34:36. > :34:39.this time. We are talking Arsenal, because Arsenal fans are not having

:34:40. > :34:42.a good morning and did not have a good night. They have woken up

:34:43. > :34:46.feeling a bit sorry for themselves, and Arsene Wenger is a man under

:34:47. > :34:55.pressure. He was under pressure before that big match with Bayern

:34:56. > :34:56.Munich, but there has certainly been fuel added to the fire.

:34:57. > :34:58.Arsenal were humiliated in the Champions League.

:36:26. > :36:35.Overall I must say that Bayern can be a good side,

:37:00. > :37:04.I think we set out to do what we'd done, and the second half I think

:37:05. > :37:07.we got to grips with the game, and that was much more the England

:37:08. > :37:13.I think we put Germany on the back foot, and I think in the end it came

:38:14. > :38:19.undue pressure on ourselves. We just kind of feel like the expectation

:38:20. > :38:25.from England, they have gone how many games unbeaten? We have one 26

:38:26. > :38:29.nations, so we feel there is not as much pressure. We have played some

:38:30. > :38:32.good stuff, which may be axed only gives us a bit of pressure but

:38:33. > :38:33.within the group certainly we will not get carried away.

:39:10. > :39:14.we would have liked. The crowd seemed to have enjoyed, laughing and

:39:15. > :39:23.cheering. Do you know what he said after he finished the jump? He was

:39:24. > :39:25.absolutely relieved. I bet. I would have been happy with five or six

:39:26. > :39:26.metres. It is an exciting time

:39:27. > :39:28.for women playing sport, with World Cup tournaments

:39:29. > :39:31.in women's cricket and women's But higher up in the boardroom,

:39:32. > :39:35.it is a different story, as some of the largest and most

:39:36. > :39:38.highly funded sports don't have A report from Women in Sport found

:39:39. > :39:43.that nearly half of the 68 national governing bodies had missed

:39:44. > :39:45.the target of boards Nine have no women in a senior

:39:46. > :39:49.leadership role, excluding the CEO, and one organisation has no women

:39:50. > :39:53.at all in any leadership position. But some sports do

:39:54. > :39:55.seem to be on track. 90% of people who make up

:39:56. > :39:58.the England Netball Board are women. With us now is former Arsenal

:39:59. > :40:01.and England footballer Rachel Yankey, and from Lord's

:40:02. > :40:15.is Clare Connor, the ECB's director And I saw you hoping that trophy

:40:16. > :40:21.moments ago. How important... Let's talk about that, first of all. I got

:40:22. > :40:25.told off for touching it. It has probably got security guards. That

:40:26. > :40:30.is what normally happens when there is a trophy around. I have jinxed

:40:31. > :40:36.it. How important is it for you that there is a step change in what is

:40:37. > :40:40.going on in sport governing boards? Yes, it is hugely important. You

:40:41. > :40:46.know, primarily because sports have got to be representative in their

:40:47. > :40:50.leadership of the people and the participants that they are trying to

:40:51. > :40:54.attract the game. So, you know, it is really important for girls and

:40:55. > :40:58.women to see that a sport that they might want to play and progress in,

:40:59. > :41:02.whether it is on the pitch or off the pitch, is very open and

:41:03. > :41:05.accessible to them. And it is also important simply because the fact

:41:06. > :41:11.that Lords will make better business decisions, better balanced

:41:12. > :41:15.decisions, if those boards are diverse. You are obviously still

:41:16. > :41:19.playing at the moment, you are training at the moment, they are

:41:20. > :41:24.talking about women feeling that there is a path which is possible.

:41:25. > :41:27.If you wanted to go into a governing body, beyond coaching, is that

:41:28. > :41:32.something which you have thought about and which you think would be

:41:33. > :41:35.open to you? It is not something I have thought about, but yes,

:41:36. > :41:40.obviously with the changes I think that boards need to be more diverse

:41:41. > :41:45.and I think get more women. At other people, it needs to be different age

:41:46. > :41:50.groups, different ethnic and. You know, to make the board so diverse

:41:51. > :41:54.that you can get better decisions. I wonder about perception of women

:41:55. > :41:58.playing sport. Because I know when you were a youngster you actually

:41:59. > :42:02.had to shave your head so people wouldn't question you. So, it is out

:42:03. > :42:06.there already. People didn't question you as a female footballer.

:42:07. > :42:12.Do you think that perception has changed now? Is a more positive for

:42:13. > :42:16.women? I think it is changing. I still think there is the perception

:42:17. > :42:20.that women don't know enough about it. Some women still see it as a

:42:21. > :42:26.man's game and things like this, having women on boards, in higher

:42:27. > :42:33.management positions, will help. We have talked a lot in the past about

:42:34. > :42:37.the Rooney rule in America, the encouragement of minority candidates

:42:38. > :42:41.in the interview process. Do you think that is important in these

:42:42. > :42:44.top-level discussions, to have more women in the role? Does there need

:42:45. > :42:48.to be this cultural change? I definitely do. I think it is a

:42:49. > :42:52.cultural shift that is needed and I think lots of sports are gearing up

:42:53. > :42:56.for that now. I think this has reached a fairly critical time, and

:42:57. > :43:01.I think it is about fostering your own talent as a sport, but it is

:43:02. > :43:07.also very much about recruiting, the way you recruit. Sport historically,

:43:08. > :43:10.as we know, is a Mail domain. So the talent pipeline isn't necessarily

:43:11. > :43:15.flush with women who are clamouring to be in these roles. So it is up to

:43:16. > :43:19.sports to actively recruit, be proactive in their recruitment

:43:20. > :43:23.strategies, and find ways of attracting very capable, talented

:43:24. > :43:27.women into those roles. You are trying to go into coaching now,

:43:28. > :43:30.aren't you? How do you feel about that? Is it important that young

:43:31. > :43:37.women like you are going for that sort of thing? Yes, I think so. I

:43:38. > :43:41.have always coached, I have mainly coached children but now I am going

:43:42. > :43:46.into more elite coaching where I am working on getting my hours done for

:43:47. > :43:49.my A license, working with men's teams and there hasn't been any

:43:50. > :43:56.problem with me coaching the men's teams. I wanted to ask you as well,

:43:57. > :44:00.we said you were hoping the World Cup. How important is it, not just

:44:01. > :44:05.from a women's perspective but for sport in general, that we are

:44:06. > :44:09.hosting the World Cup here? I think the opportunity to host the World

:44:10. > :44:13.Cup in any sport is a difficult time. It is something that all the

:44:14. > :44:18.athletes, all the players aspire to be a part of. As administrators it

:44:19. > :44:22.is a huge opportunity for us to promote our game to as many people

:44:23. > :44:26.as possible. We will be taking the tournament around the country,

:44:27. > :44:31.starting with England's opening game in Derby on or before June. To have

:44:32. > :44:35.that opportunity to take our team and the sport in the trophy around

:44:36. > :44:39.the country, to try to inspire girls to pick up bats and balls for the

:44:40. > :44:41.first time is a wonderful opportunity. Almost a

:44:42. > :44:45.once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We haven't had the World Cup in this

:44:46. > :44:48.country for 24 years, so a huge amount has obviously changed since

:44:49. > :44:51.that time, and we're really looking forward to making the of that

:44:52. > :45:01.opportunity. Rachel, you saw the women in action

:45:02. > :45:05.last night, tough match, lost 1-0 to Germany, were you disappointed with

:45:06. > :45:10.the way they played and how big will it be with the Euros in the summer?

:45:11. > :45:15.I don't think it's a big defeat at all to be honest! If you look at it,

:45:16. > :45:20.the German players are in season, as are the French players, but the

:45:21. > :45:26.English aren't. As a preparation for the Euros, losing narrowly one goal

:45:27. > :45:33.to France and Germany isn't bad at all. No panicking yet! No, not yet!

:45:34. > :45:38.No Arsenal levels just yet! Thank you both very much indeed. Don't

:45:39. > :45:40.touch that trophy yet! I swear I saw it wobbling!

:45:41. > :45:44.Let's catch up with the weather and Carol.

:45:45. > :45:50.Good morning, for some it is a mild start and especially in the south

:45:51. > :45:55.where we have rain, cloud and drizzle. Further north a fair bit of

:45:56. > :45:58.cloud around but that will break and we will see some sunshine. A good

:45:59. > :46:02.dose of rain overnight courtesy of this weather front, which has moved

:46:03. > :46:06.away, but you can see this one connected with it, a cold front,

:46:07. > :46:10.still in the south and that is producing the cloud, also the rain,

:46:11. > :46:15.low cloud at times, murky conditions, the rain waxing and

:46:16. > :46:19.waning through the day and if you don't have that the chances are you

:46:20. > :46:22.will have drizzle but as we go further north, the cloud will break

:46:23. > :46:25.up in northern England, Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland, where

:46:26. > :46:29.we will see sunshine. Windy this morning in the Western Isles and

:46:30. > :46:32.through the day the strong winds and showers will go to the Western

:46:33. > :46:36.Isles, some heavy and thundery with hail. In Northern Ireland, drizzle

:46:37. > :46:41.first thing that will clear for sunshine. In northern England,

:46:42. > :46:46.beautiful, highs of ten or 12. Through East Anglia, the Midlands,

:46:47. > :46:49.Wales south that's where we have the weather front pushing south and

:46:50. > :46:55.east. It will start to brighten up later on in north Wales, it will

:46:56. > :46:58.feel mild. Through the evening and overnight, there's our weather front

:46:59. > :47:03.sinking to the English Channel, blustery winds around it and behind

:47:04. > :47:07.it we will have some cloud but some breaks, and a package of showers in

:47:08. > :47:11.the northern half of the country, wintry on the tops of hills and

:47:12. > :47:17.mountains. Here it will be colder but a mild start tomorrow. These

:47:18. > :47:20.temperatures of tens and 11 overnight, the overnight lows, more

:47:21. > :47:25.reminiscent of what we would expect for maximum is in March at this

:47:26. > :47:32.stage, the average in the south is around ten. Our weather front in the

:47:33. > :47:36.south will bring rain to the Channel Islands, it will take a swipe at

:47:37. > :47:40.Cornwall, where you will see cloud and a damp conditions. A lot of

:47:41. > :47:44.cloud in southern England and south Wales to start, but that will break

:47:45. > :47:49.up. For most of us, bar a few showers in the north, a dry and fine

:47:50. > :47:53.day with a lot of sunshine. In the sunshine temperatures could get as

:47:54. > :47:57.high as 16 in the north of London, but we're in pretty good shape

:47:58. > :48:02.temperature wise as we go up and down the land. On Thursday, here's

:48:03. > :48:06.our weather front, it pivots and comes back across our shores,

:48:07. > :48:10.especially in the west and north on Friday, and the squeeze in isobars

:48:11. > :48:14.tells you it will be quite windy in the west. High pressure clinging on

:48:15. > :48:18.by the skin of its teeth to the east. Eastern area is faring best

:48:19. > :48:25.with sunshine, Bickmore cloud, windier conditions to the north --

:48:26. > :48:29.bit more -- areas. Seven, eight, nine in the north and double figures

:48:30. > :48:33.for much of the rest of the UK. And the temperature over the weekend

:48:34. > :48:38.will dip and then come up against quite we will be ready for the dip.

:48:39. > :48:43.Thank you very much, Carol. --, again. We will be ready for the dip.

:48:44. > :48:47.Steph's been playing the Generation Game this week,

:48:48. > :48:56.Today, her focus is Baby Boomers, that's those born

:48:57. > :48:59.between the end of the Second World War and the early '60s.

:49:00. > :49:02.Steph is at a retirement village in Birmingham

:49:03. > :49:09.We will play heads and tails at the end. Do your bit and then I will ask

:49:10. > :49:14.you heads and tails at the end and we will flip the coin. Good morning

:49:15. > :49:20.and good morning, everyone. Tom is working hard, what are we on? You're

:49:21. > :49:24.going for miles, keep going, he's a fan of Carol Kirkwood, isn't

:49:25. > :49:28.everyone! I'm here at Bournville Gardens, we are talking to the

:49:29. > :49:32.post-war Baby Boomers today to find out their thoughts about what they

:49:33. > :49:36.want to hear from the Chancellor. Elaine has been planking... You can

:49:37. > :49:41.rest easy, bless her, she's been doing a plank for ages and I'm going

:49:42. > :49:46.to have a chat with Ron, I know you've got some thoughts about what

:49:47. > :49:50.you would like to hear from the Chancellor, what would you like him

:49:51. > :49:54.to say? We're least likely to have any problems with the Chancellor, we

:49:55. > :49:58.are a privileged few but what I would like the most is... We've all

:49:59. > :50:02.got cash balances by selling our other houses and the interest rates

:50:03. > :50:07.are so poor that we don't get any return on the credit balances in our

:50:08. > :50:12.accounts. That's one of my main worry is. And car licence fees are

:50:13. > :50:17.likely to go up and we depend on our cars, but the buses are quite handy

:50:18. > :50:24.here, I have no complaints -- main worries. What about interest rates

:50:25. > :50:30.and car tax? Yes, that's my main concern, we are the privileged few

:50:31. > :50:38.here, though, we're the people that should be asked for budget changes.

:50:39. > :50:43.It's there to say you had a decent career? I was a junior clerk in 1964

:50:44. > :50:49.at a bank and I finished in south America. A former cricket player as

:50:50. > :50:53.well? I played professional cricket, I made more money on Saturday

:50:54. > :50:57.playing cricket than I did for the rest of the week in the bank for

:50:58. > :51:02.nine or ten years. Lovely to talk to you, I know people don't like

:51:03. > :51:09.revealing their age, how old are you? 89. I'm going to leave you to

:51:10. > :51:13.your weights. I'm not faking this, I'm doing it on my own! I never

:51:14. > :51:17.thought you were faking! Really interesting to be here. This is a

:51:18. > :51:22.retirement village all about giving people like Ron and other people

:51:23. > :51:27.hear their independence, lots of facilities here, 300 residents live

:51:28. > :51:31.here. One and 2-bedroom apartments. We have a couple of experts we can

:51:32. > :51:37.chat to but come here and have a look. It is nice here! We have

:51:38. > :51:41.Angela from Age UK and Elizabeth is from the university of Warwick. We

:51:42. > :51:45.were hearing Ron talk about savings for older people and they don't get

:51:46. > :51:49.money for their savings and he was talking about his car and how

:51:50. > :51:54.important that is, thank the wider picture of the things older people

:51:55. > :51:58.are worried about. Half of all older people exist mainly living on the

:51:59. > :52:02.state pension of around ?7,000 a year. They really don't have much

:52:03. > :52:05.wriggle room in their finances. When you think about things like the

:52:06. > :52:09.government asking people to think about saving for care places or

:52:10. > :52:13.planning for pensions, we have got to try to protect the incomes of

:52:14. > :52:18.elderly people to make sure they can spend when they need to on things

:52:19. > :52:21.like air and incomes. Elizabeth, you're an economist, one thing he

:52:22. > :52:26.said was he feels quite lucky because he feels like he has got

:52:27. > :52:29.money and he feels better off than other younger people. Explained that

:52:30. > :52:33.difference, there are some young people who look at older people and

:52:34. > :52:39.think, they have nice homes and I can't even afford a house. That is

:52:40. > :52:43.very much the case. One thing is the triple lock on pensions which has

:52:44. > :52:48.enabled pensioner income to increase more so than the working age

:52:49. > :52:55.population. With the triple what it is guaranteeing the income of

:52:56. > :53:00.pensioners rising. The King at the -- we see little increase in the

:53:01. > :53:05.working age income. -- triple lock. That has reduced the disparity in

:53:06. > :53:08.the income gap. Some people of working age are looking at

:53:09. > :53:13.pensioners and are potentially presenting the fact their incomes

:53:14. > :53:18.have increased. I think we have to look at the wider picture in terms

:53:19. > :53:23.of the needs of pensioners, not just in terms of healthcare and social

:53:24. > :53:27.care, but ensuring they have the community feel. A place like

:53:28. > :53:31.Bournville is a fantastic environment for pensioners. But

:53:32. > :53:35.there's this resentment and we have to take the broader view of public

:53:36. > :53:39.finances as well in terms of if we do want to improve the incomes of

:53:40. > :53:45.the working age population, where is that money going to come from?

:53:46. > :53:50.Public finances are still in a position so I can't see much room

:53:51. > :53:56.for manoeuvre for Philip and today. Perhaps something for social care,

:53:57. > :54:01.but I don't think we are going to see much of a giveaway in the budget

:54:02. > :54:07.-- Philip Hammond today. As we heard Elizabeth said, it is tight, it is

:54:08. > :54:10.hard to give older people more? There's more disparity amongst any

:54:11. > :54:13.generation than there are between the generations and if you ask

:54:14. > :54:17.younger people what they would like to give money to, they would often

:54:18. > :54:21.say they would want to give it to older people because they feel they

:54:22. > :54:25.don't have the flexibility to change their situation. There are issues to

:54:26. > :54:28.do with housing and transfer of wealth but don't look to the poorest

:54:29. > :54:32.older people to fund the poorer younger people, look at the wealth

:54:33. > :54:36.of the entire nation and economy to see what you can fund. An and

:54:37. > :54:40.emergency cash injection for social care is what we would look for and

:54:41. > :54:44.then a longer term plan to fund social care is what we would want,

:54:45. > :54:48.because that's the most important thing for younger and older people

:54:49. > :54:53.-- an emergency cash injection. Thanks very much. I will be here to

:54:54. > :54:59.talk to more of them later. Let's have this coin toss, want to know if

:55:00. > :55:05.I'm buying your lunch or not. Heads or tails? I'm going to go heads.

:55:06. > :55:11.Luckily we have managed to find a stunt coin... It was broken. I'm

:55:12. > :55:18.going to let you use that one. Already soiled. This is heads, it

:55:19. > :55:24.has got to be Breakfast, this is heads, this is tails. Steph has gone

:55:25. > :55:30.heads. Let's get a good flow on. Go on, son! This is going to end badly!

:55:31. > :55:35.Tales, I will have a full English breakfast when you're ready! Hang

:55:36. > :55:39.on, that was cheating, I could see it on the screen, you literally

:55:40. > :55:47.turned it over, you didn't flip it! I think you've got a point, Steph!

:55:48. > :55:54.It is tails again! Make that two breakfasts! I want an official

:55:55. > :55:56.enquiry! I'm looking forward to that! Unlucky for her! Double

:55:57. > :55:59.breakfast. Lovely! Still to come this

:56:00. > :56:01.morning on Breakfast: Reports claim MI5 and the CIA

:56:02. > :56:07.are working on ways to turn televisions and smart phones

:56:08. > :56:08.into bugging devices. A cyber security expert will tell

:56:09. > :56:17.us how likely it is. You mentioned this on your social

:56:18. > :56:20.media account earlier, lots of people have been saying that they

:56:21. > :56:24.are going to buy pyjamas now they think this might be happening. A

:56:25. > :56:26.weird thought thinking you're naked watching this programme but thank

:56:27. > :56:27.you for sharing that information! Time now to get the news,

:56:28. > :00:27.travel and weather where you are. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:00:28. > :00:30.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. The Chancellor prepares

:00:31. > :00:33.for his first budget with an upbeat There's expected to be extra

:00:34. > :00:46.money for social care, All this week I have been talking to

:00:47. > :00:51.different generations about what they would like to hear from the

:00:52. > :00:55.Budget today. Today we're talking to the post-war baby boomers and beyond

:00:56. > :01:07.so I'm at a retirement village in Bournville.

:01:08. > :01:13.Good morning. It's Wednesday, 8th March.

:01:14. > :01:15.Also this morning, Lord Heseltine is sacked as a government advisor

:01:16. > :01:19.after rebelling in a vote over Brexit.

:01:20. > :01:22.Could our televisions be spying on us?

:01:23. > :01:24.Claims that the CIA have developed new technology

:01:25. > :01:30.In sport, fans again call for Arsene Wenger to leave Arsenal

:01:31. > :01:33.as they are humiliated in the Champions League.

:01:34. > :01:35.They were thrashed 5-1 by Bayern Munich in the last

:01:36. > :01:46.We return to Germany with the only surviving member of the air crews

:01:47. > :01:48.that carried out one of the Second World War's

:01:49. > :02:01.Thank you, Dan. Good morning. We've got a three-way split in the

:02:02. > :02:04.weather. In the north, it is windy and showery, but there will be

:02:05. > :02:06.sunshine between the showers. The central swathe of the country, a

:02:07. > :02:10.cloudy start, but the sunshine coming through. But in the south, it

:02:11. > :02:14.is fairly cloudy and we'll stay that way through the day with rain and

:02:15. > :02:18.drizzle, but here very mild. I'll have more in 15 minutes. Thank you.

:02:19. > :02:25.An upbeat assessment of the economy but a warning that more

:02:26. > :02:27.austerity lies ahead, they are expected to be the key

:02:28. > :02:30.messages when the Chancellor Philip Hammond delivers his first

:02:31. > :02:33.He'll stress that the Government won't shirk difficult decisions

:02:34. > :02:36.to deal with the deficit, but he is expected to find extra

:02:37. > :02:39.money for social care in England and to help soften the impact

:02:40. > :02:44.Here's our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier.

:02:45. > :02:49.He's the man known in Westminster as Spreadsheet Phil,

:02:50. > :02:53.the cautious Treasury Chief in charge of the numbers.

:02:54. > :02:59.So, as the Chancellor does his sums, what's he got to consider?

:03:00. > :03:00.Well, the big issue that's dominating is Brexit.

:03:01. > :03:04.As the UK prepares to leave the EU, Mr Hammond says he's focussed

:03:05. > :03:06.on keeping the economy resilient with a warning this is no time

:03:07. > :03:13.Even so, there will be cash for new free schools and money

:03:14. > :03:19.to shake up vocational and technical training for 16 to 18-year-olds.

:03:20. > :03:24.But the Chancellor's under pressure to spend more on public services

:03:25. > :03:33.with claims social care is in crisis and repeated calls for more money

:03:34. > :03:36.for the NHS plus pleas to help soften the blow for small firms hit

:03:37. > :03:40.Mr Hammond might have chucked out his predecessor's timetable

:03:41. > :03:43.for dealing with the deficit, but both he and the Prime Minister

:03:44. > :03:46.still believe balancing the books is the only way to ensure a stable

:03:47. > :04:03.They have got a Cabinet meeting at et moment. Are we expecting

:04:04. > :04:07.anything, surprises, little bits of great news for people? I don't think

:04:08. > :04:12.there are going to be any big surprises in this Budget, Lou. If

:04:13. > :04:15.you were hoping for fireworks, I think you're probably going to be

:04:16. > :04:17.disappointed. The Cabinet meeting has just started. We have seen the

:04:18. > :04:21.Cabinet Ministers trooping into Downing Street. They've gone into

:04:22. > :04:24.Number Ten. In fact, Dr Fox, Liam Fox the international trade

:04:25. > :04:28.secretary, one of those who has gone in in the last few minutes and he

:04:29. > :04:33.was asked by journalist here in Number Ten if this was going to be a

:04:34. > :04:38.Brexit Budget. We do know that this Budget is going to be relatively

:04:39. > :04:41.upbeat. The Chancellor will say that the economy has weathered well since

:04:42. > :04:46.the referendum vote, but he will also admit that lots of families are

:04:47. > :04:50.really feeling the pinch. I think what we're going to learn later is

:04:51. > :04:53.austerity is still here. There are still cuts to come. The Budget is

:04:54. > :04:59.still tight and the Chancellor wants to keep enough fuel in the tank as

:05:00. > :05:02.he said, as Britain leaves the EU. So, despite economic forecasts

:05:03. > :05:05.looking up, we shouldn't expect this Budget to be one of give aways.

:05:06. > :05:14.Eleanor, thank you. In half an hour we will be speaking

:05:15. > :05:19.to Lord Heseltine who has been sacked.

:05:20. > :05:21.Lord Heseltine, has been sacked as a government adviser

:05:22. > :05:23.after rebelling in a vote over Brexit.

:05:24. > :05:25.The government suffered a second defeat in the House of Lords

:05:26. > :05:27.as peers backed calls for a "meaningful"

:05:28. > :05:29.parliamentary vote on the final terms of withdrawal.

:05:30. > :05:31.Ministers say they'll seek to overturn the move when the bill

:05:32. > :05:34.Here's our political correspondent, Chris Mason.

:05:35. > :05:38.Just like Ken Clarke in the Commons, Lord Heseltine was determined

:05:39. > :05:39.to remain vociferously pro-European after the referendum,

:05:40. > :05:43.It ensures that Parliament has the critical role in determining

:05:44. > :05:45.the future that we will bequeath to generations of young people

:05:46. > :05:56.and I urge your Lordships to support the amendment.

:05:57. > :05:59.But, hours later, he learned he had been fired from five

:06:00. > :06:08.This is the Prime Minister exercising her perfectly legitimate

:06:09. > :06:11.right to get rid of opposition in any way she thinks appropriate

:06:12. > :06:19.Whether it's the right, the wise thing to do

:06:20. > :06:21.is a matter for her, not for me.

:06:22. > :06:23.His sacking illustrates Downing Street's determination to

:06:24. > :06:31.Next week the Bill heads down the corridor, back to the Commons.

:06:32. > :06:36.Will Conservative rebels there be up for a fight?

:06:37. > :06:39.I will continue to believe that that is the right thing to do,

:06:40. > :06:42.for there to be a vote in both Houses, deal or no deal

:06:43. > :06:44.and, if I have to vote against my Government again,

:06:45. > :06:50.We've discussed, deliberated and scrutinised both

:06:51. > :06:52.of these issues before, at length, and we still declined

:06:53. > :06:55.to accept the amendments that have been passed in the House of Lords.

:06:56. > :07:04.They've come up with no new ideas so I expect the House of Commons

:07:05. > :07:09.Whatever happens next week, the Prime Minister does remain

:07:10. > :07:11.on course to be able to begin Brexit negotiations before

:07:12. > :07:27.And we'll be talking to Lord Heseltine after 8.30am.

:07:28. > :07:29.There are claims that the CIA and MI5 have discovered how

:07:30. > :07:32.to secretly record conversations using a microphone in a smart TV.

:07:33. > :07:34.Thousands of documents, published by the website WikiLeaks,

:07:35. > :07:36.appear to reveal attempts to hack into electronic devices

:07:37. > :07:40.The CIA has refused to comment, but a former director

:07:41. > :07:52.has said the lead could be incredibly damaging.

:07:53. > :07:54.Police searching for missing RAF gunner Corrie McKeague

:07:55. > :07:56.are investigating whether a bin lorry is linked

:07:57. > :07:59.The vehicle was spotted near where the 23-year-old was last

:08:00. > :08:02.seen and carried a much heavier load than first thought.

:08:03. > :08:04.A search of a landfill site in Cambridgeshire is underway.

:08:05. > :08:14.Mr McKeague was last seen on a night out on 24th September.

:08:15. > :08:17.The number of women getting top jobs at sporting bodies is declining,

:08:18. > :08:22.The Women in Sport study found just under half of organisations have

:08:23. > :08:24.failed to meet new government guidelines calling for senior

:08:25. > :08:35.The profile of women playing sport has never been higher.

:08:36. > :08:37.But step off the pitch and into the boardroom,

:08:38. > :08:43.Today, the charity Women in Sport released an audit of 68

:08:44. > :08:46.national governing bodies receiving public money.

:08:47. > :08:52.They found that nearly half didn't meet the new target of 30% gender

:08:53. > :08:54.diversity on their boards including those in football,

:08:55. > :09:06.Nine had no women at all in senior leadership roles,

:09:07. > :09:09.while one organisation, the British Tae Kwon Do Council, has

:09:10. > :09:12.Public investment in sport, in any sports organisation,

:09:13. > :09:15.is dependent on organisations reaching the standards of the code.

:09:16. > :09:17.So anybody who isn't able to reach them, or doesn't

:09:18. > :09:20.have an adequate plan to do so, won't be able to attract

:09:21. > :09:24.The FA has long been criticised for failing to move with the times.

:09:25. > :09:27.Faced with having millions of pounds of funding cut,

:09:28. > :09:32.this week it proposed reforms to appoint more women to its board.

:09:33. > :09:36.England Hockey also needs to diversify, although their CEO

:09:37. > :09:38.told me they will have no problem meeting the new Government target.

:09:39. > :09:45.We will, over time, as board members leave,

:09:46. > :09:48.look at recruiting people that still meet the skillset, but enable

:09:49. > :09:51.us to meet the recommendations within the guidelines.

:09:52. > :09:53.Many sports have reaped the benefits of public investment.

:09:54. > :10:02.Now, they are being told to better reflect the people who fund them.

:10:03. > :10:05.A hunt is under way in France for poachers who broke into a zoo

:10:06. > :10:08.near Paris and shot dead a white rhino before sawing off

:10:09. > :10:12.French police say the body of the four-year-old

:10:13. > :10:15.animal, called Vince, was found yesterday morning.

:10:16. > :10:17.A rhino horn can fetch around ?40,000 on the black market.

:10:18. > :10:20.It's believed to be the first time poachers have killed

:10:21. > :10:28.Chocolate bars like Kit Kat, Yorkie and Aero will contain 10%

:10:29. > :10:34.That's according to their manufacturer Nestle,

:10:35. > :10:36.who say sugar will be replaced with higher quantities of existing

:10:37. > :10:41.ingredients or other non-artificial ingredients.

:10:42. > :10:48.They say it could have a significant impact on public health.

:10:49. > :10:51.When residents in a town in Canada went to fill the kettle -

:10:52. > :10:55.they got a bit of a surprise - pink water!

:10:56. > :10:59.It started coming out of the taps on Monday.

:11:00. > :11:01.It happened because of a side-effect of a common

:11:02. > :11:05.In a statement, the Mayor of Onoway in Alberta said there's no

:11:06. > :11:17.I once did an interview with somebody at a water treatment works,

:11:18. > :11:21.the warning they gave is if it's brown, leave it down, but nothing

:11:22. > :11:23.about if it is pink! I might drink more water if it was

:11:24. > :11:30.pink or blue, whatever! If you could give your younger self

:11:31. > :11:33.some advice, what would it be? Our next guests asked themselves

:11:34. > :11:35.that very question and decided to write a book they describe

:11:36. > :11:38.as a "road map for life". Gillian Anderson and Jennifer Nadel

:11:39. > :11:41.aim to bring about change for women across the world and their new book,

:11:42. > :11:44.released for International Women's Day, contains nine principles

:11:45. > :12:00.for a more meaningful life. I think the water is about

:12:01. > :12:05.International Women's Day. It could be. It is directed very much at

:12:06. > :12:10.women, this, isn't it? Why, you know, why women? Why necessary in

:12:11. > :12:15.the 21st century to be talking so directly in some ways? Well, we are

:12:16. > :12:20.women and that is our experience, but I also think that women feel a

:12:21. > :12:24.huge amount of pressure today. We're shown on billboards and in magazines

:12:25. > :12:30.how to behave, what to buy, how to act and I think that we feel a huge

:12:31. > :12:35.amount of pressure. And the pressure, in the end, makes us feel

:12:36. > :12:40.slightly lost. The levels of depression and self esteem are sky

:12:41. > :12:45.rocketing and we feel paper thin in trying to juggle our lives. Do you

:12:46. > :12:47.think it is still the pressure of trying to be everything to

:12:48. > :12:51.everybody? Is that still the concern? Absolutely and we have to

:12:52. > :12:55.protend because we have to fit ourselves into a world that is

:12:56. > :13:00.designed predominantly around men. If you look at jobs, the world of

:13:01. > :13:03.work is designed around a predominantly male workforce so we

:13:04. > :13:09.find ourselves fighting for equality, but we get 50% of a system

:13:10. > :13:12.that's designed for people who don't have primary caring responsibilities

:13:13. > :13:16.who aren't mothers and rather than fighting for 50% of a system that

:13:17. > :13:21.doesn't work we would like to see a new par dime, one that's built

:13:22. > :13:27.around the reality of who we all are, men and women. We are all real,

:13:28. > :13:32.three-dimensional. You talk in the book about action. It can be in

:13:33. > :13:35.different ways. Gillian, I'm interested when you fought against

:13:36. > :13:40.and made a difference, when you found out that you were paid half of

:13:41. > :13:43.what your costar was on the show and you talk about feeling very

:13:44. > :13:48.concerned about speaking out about it. Well, it was something that

:13:49. > :13:53.happened at the beginning when I was new to the series and I had fight

:13:54. > :13:57.quite hard to get equal pay, but recently we did another six episodes

:13:58. > :14:00.and the initial offer was half of what my costar was making aye

:14:01. > :14:05.remember feeling that at some point I would have to talk about it, you

:14:06. > :14:11.know, but was really, really nervous about it. I was afraid of speaking

:14:12. > :14:18.out. I was afraid of shaming the woman who was the head of the

:14:19. > :14:21.department at Fox. So yeah, it became really important at some

:14:22. > :14:24.point to speak out about it. You talked about naming things about

:14:25. > :14:30.talking about spotting things, don't you? And talking about things? Well,

:14:31. > :14:33.one of the principles in the book is honesty and getting clear about the

:14:34. > :14:37.areas of our life that are not working and making space for

:14:38. > :14:43.ourselves and how do we practise self care? When we practise self

:14:44. > :14:47.care it's possible for us to go into the world and be kinder and to feel

:14:48. > :14:50.like we can manage the lives that we're feeling we're buckling

:14:51. > :14:53.underneath. We have to be honest with the outer world about what it

:14:54. > :14:58.is to be women. It is extraordinary that after all these years of

:14:59. > :15:02.feminism, levels of grooming more is expecting of us in terms of how we

:15:03. > :15:07.look and the same is happening for men and there is this kind of arms

:15:08. > :15:10.race of, you know, airbrushing ourselves and it's crazy because

:15:11. > :15:15.that's not what really matters. What brings us happiness isn't how we

:15:16. > :15:19.look, it's how we feel on the inside and our level of connectedness with

:15:20. > :15:22.those which with we have relationships with. The book is for

:15:23. > :15:25.women. Have you thought about what the reaction from men might be? I

:15:26. > :15:31.don't know whether you worry about that. I suppose there is one or

:15:32. > :15:35.two-ways that men can react, yes, it has been going on for too long. Some

:15:36. > :15:39.men might be thinking, why are you trying to change the system? Why are

:15:40. > :15:41.you going so far to try and pressurise us into feeling ways we

:15:42. > :15:51.don't need to feel? Almost every man has said, what

:15:52. > :15:57.about me? We don't want this world either, it does not serve men or

:15:58. > :16:01.women and it is time for change. Universal principles, you talk about

:16:02. > :16:04.kindness and greeting every other woman as a friend which is not

:16:05. > :16:10.necessarily something that happens? No, definitely not, we are so

:16:11. > :16:15.focused in a bubble of our families and we think we have certain value

:16:16. > :16:20.systems we carry out. Once we get out into the world, we often all bow

:16:21. > :16:23.each other to the front of the line, so it is about practising kindness

:16:24. > :16:27.is not just to ourselves but the people we meet on the street. An

:16:28. > :16:34.interesting example, the picture of Emma Watson which was in the papers

:16:35. > :16:38.last week. She spoke out about how it is not about feminism, she was in

:16:39. > :16:47.Vanity fair. On that point, a lot of the criticism came from women. The

:16:48. > :16:51.way she was dressing. So many of us have internalised a misogynistic way

:16:52. > :16:55.of looking at ourselves and we are our harshest critics because we have

:16:56. > :16:59.to fit in and to look the way we need to look, this is a distraction

:17:00. > :17:02.from what matters yet again, a debate about what a woman is wearing

:17:03. > :17:07.and how she is looking, rather than who we really are.

:17:08. > :17:13.That is similar to what she said. We talked at the beginning about advice

:17:14. > :17:22.you would give to your former self, are there things... My former self!

:17:23. > :17:26.Younger! Yourself! Are there things you think, I wish I had done

:17:27. > :17:33.differently? I was asked to write something talking to my 16-year-old

:17:34. > :17:37.self and so much was about how self obsessed I was, so many years of

:17:38. > :17:40.self obsession and focused on my body and being thinner and

:17:41. > :17:46.self-criticism. I guess part of my advise would be to lift one's head

:17:47. > :17:51.and is to look up and to see where we can be of service in the world

:17:52. > :17:56.and there are always people who are less fortunate and when we are of

:17:57. > :18:00.service, ultimately, we feel better about ourselves. If you wrote this

:18:01. > :18:06.book in ten years' time, do you hope it would be completely different? I

:18:07. > :18:12.think change is incremental. And I think it is ongoing and we are never

:18:13. > :18:16.going to get to a place in all our lives but we can start pushing for

:18:17. > :18:22.those changes now. Jennifer, you had a job similar to mine and one day,

:18:23. > :18:28.you had enough, what was it that finally they do think, I need to

:18:29. > :18:35.change this? Like many people, I was living in a when world. When I have

:18:36. > :18:40.got the job, the children, I will be OK. I had the home, but I had the

:18:41. > :18:47.job and two beautiful children and I just could not go on. I looked at

:18:48. > :18:50.them in their highchairs and they said, we need you, that should be a

:18:51. > :18:54.moment of huge excitement, and I could not go, I had to stop, that

:18:55. > :18:59.was it. If familiar dilemma! Thank you.

:19:00. > :19:03.Gillian and Jennifer's book is called We: A Manifesto

:19:04. > :19:07.Another international woman on the programme, Carol with this morning's

:19:08. > :19:16.whether! It is a mild start to the day

:19:17. > :19:21.depending on where you are because we have had cloud and rain across

:19:22. > :19:26.the South, temperatures in Exeter and London, 11, 12, Cardiff ten,

:19:27. > :19:29.Birmingham ten. Further North into Scotland and Northern Ireland,

:19:30. > :19:37.clearer skies, and the temperature is lower. Today, put simply, rain in

:19:38. > :19:40.the South and sunshine in the North. It is a bit more complicated, we

:19:41. > :19:46.have a weather front pushing into the North Sea and it gave us rain

:19:47. > :19:48.through the night. This weather front pushing steadily South, that

:19:49. > :19:54.is producing the cloud and the rain and through the day, the rain will

:19:55. > :19:58.come and go, the cloud remains, pushing East and South. If you don't

:19:59. > :20:04.have either of those, chances are you will have drizzle. North of that

:20:05. > :20:07.with the cloud, that will break, sunshine, and across Northern

:20:08. > :20:12.Scotland, the Western Isles very windy. Thundery showers and hail,

:20:13. > :20:16.that will transfer northwards. Eventually getting into the Northern

:20:17. > :20:20.Isles and leaving bright spells and sunny spells. A nice afternoon in

:20:21. > :20:24.Northern Ireland when the drizzle clears which it is doing now and

:20:25. > :20:29.across Northern England, some sunshine. South of that, we have a

:20:30. > :20:35.weather front and thicker cloud and rain. North Wales, you will brighten

:20:36. > :20:41.up for the afternoon. It will be mild in the South, 13, 14. Through

:20:42. > :20:45.the evening and overnight, the weather front goes into the English

:20:46. > :20:51.Channel, producing rain across the Channel islands as well, breezy here

:20:52. > :20:55.and minimum cloud behind it. Showers packing in across Scotland in

:20:56. > :20:59.particular and wintry on the tops of hills and mountains. It is cold in

:21:00. > :21:02.the North, mild in the South. Temperatures of ten and 11, the

:21:03. > :21:08.overnight lowest temperatures we will see in the South in towns and

:21:09. > :21:12.cities. They are more representative of what we expect at our maximum

:21:13. > :21:18.daytime temperature in the South, round about 10 Celsius. Tomorrow, a

:21:19. > :21:22.weather front again hits Cornwall. More cloud, that will break up

:21:23. > :21:26.through the day. For most of the UK tomorrow, showers in the North,

:21:27. > :21:32.light breezes, a lot of sunshine and it will feel very springlike.

:21:33. > :21:36.Temperatures up to 15, possibly 16 to the North of London. A bit nippy

:21:37. > :21:39.in Aberdeen at nine Celsius and through Thursday and into Friday,

:21:40. > :21:44.this weather front drifts up the West Coast, taking rain with that,

:21:45. > :21:48.squeezing the isobars, so it will be windy, but down the East coast with

:21:49. > :21:51.high-pressure hanging on, it will remain settled and dry with

:21:52. > :21:55.sunshine. Sorry, Dan, I did not mean to sound

:21:56. > :21:59.so rude to you! I would never ever consider you to

:22:00. > :22:03.be rude, don't worry, never apologise!

:22:04. > :22:06.Absolutely right. In our book, you can never be rude, see you in half

:22:07. > :22:11.an hour. We had to say nice things about

:22:12. > :22:16.Carol, she can hear! Even if she couldn't! I am joking!

:22:17. > :22:18.All this week, we've been looking at what different generations

:22:19. > :22:20.want from the Chancellor and the Budget this lunchtime.

:22:21. > :22:23.She's been in Scotland talking to young people,

:22:24. > :22:26.and yesterday, was making sausages with families in Yorkshire.

:22:38. > :22:42.Mining! Livelihood of this morning, best retirement village has around

:22:43. > :22:45.300 residents who live here. We will talk to them today about their

:22:50. > :22:54.in charge of the pool table this morning and the team and starts

:22:55. > :22:58.going on as well, a lot going on this morning. Every day, we have

:22:59. > :23:03.taught the generations about what they would like to hear. Tim went to

:23:04. > :23:05.meet some of the post-war baby boomers and beyond at a walking club

:23:06. > :23:10.in Norfolk. The Walkers are Welcome

:23:11. > :23:19.walking club of Cromer, open to all ages, but today's group

:23:23. > :23:24.generation, aren't you? Yes, we were very lucky

:23:25. > :23:29.and it is a strain on younger people nowadays that don't have those

:23:30. > :23:31.facilities that we had I really enjoyed

:23:32. > :23:36.being a Baby Boomer. I'm grateful for so many

:23:37. > :23:42.things throughout my life. The access to education that I had,

:23:50. > :23:57.election, more than a third of the population of North Norfolk

:23:58. > :24:00.will be aged over 65, it's one of just two regions

:24:01. > :24:07.in the UK where that's the case. Compared to other generations, Baby

:24:08. > :24:12.Boomers are very likely to vote. Politicians very keen

:24:13. > :24:15.to keep them happy. The Baby Boomers born between 1946

:24:16. > :24:18.and 1965 are nearing the end of their careers

:24:19. > :24:20.and approaching retirement. On the surface, it looks

:24:21. > :24:25.like they've done quite well in recent years, with things

:24:26. > :24:27.like the triple lock But the big concern for this

:24:28. > :24:32.group is social care. Even for the wealthy,

:24:33. > :24:35.it can wipe out their assets and for both rich and poor,

:24:36. > :24:37.the system is creaking. So, despite the views

:24:38. > :24:40.and fresh air of Cromer, The general things that councils

:24:41. > :24:47.supply are all being cut and that obviously includes care

:24:48. > :24:53.for the elderly. People are going to have

:24:54. > :24:55.to think very carefully In this Budget, I would like more

:24:56. > :25:09.money spent on healthcare and elderly care and,

:25:10. > :25:11.to pay for this, money can You need to look after the younger

:25:12. > :25:15.ones to prepare them In this year's Budget,

:25:49. > :26:17.Baby Boomer, the Chancellor, Right. There we go, your shot,

:26:18. > :26:21.Keith, finish the game. We will be talking, distracted, sorry, playing

:26:22. > :26:24.snooker with Keith. I will be talking to the guys here about what

:26:25. > :26:30.they would like to hear from the Chancellor, with experts to talk to

:26:31. > :26:33.because a lot of difference in terms of what people want. Some

:26:34. > :26:37.similarities, a lot here talking about social care being gay concern

:26:38. > :26:40.and a what worried about their grandchildren and making sure they

:26:41. > :26:46.get onto the housing ladder. I'm going to have a go at playing darts

:26:47. > :26:52.now, can I have a shot? Cheers. I am not very good, but in case you get

:26:53. > :27:00.hit in the face! Oh, no! Not bad. High five!

:30:42. > :30:43.will use his first Budget later today to deliver an upbeat

:30:44. > :30:45.assessment of Britain's But he'll acknowledge that more

:30:46. > :30:52.austerity lies ahead. He'll stress that the Government

:30:53. > :30:54.won't shirk difficult decisions to deal with the deficit,

:30:55. > :30:57.but he is expected to find extra money for social care in England,

:30:58. > :31:11.and to help soften the impact We will be speaking to Lord

:31:12. > :31:23.Heseltine hopefully in around him minutes time. He was sacked

:31:24. > :31:27.yesterday after rebelling over the legislation that will allow Theresa

:31:43. > :31:44.Thousands of documents, published by the website Wikileaks,

:31:47. > :31:49.The CIA has refused to comment, but a former director

:31:50. > :31:51.has said the leak could be incredibly damaging.

:31:52. > :31:53.Police searching for missing RAF gunner Corrie McKeague

:32:03. > :32:05.A search of a landfill site in Cambridgeshire is underway.

:32:06. > :32:13.Mr McKeague was last seen on a night out on 24th September.

:32:14. > :32:16.Chocolate bars, like Kit Kat, Yorkie and Aero will contain 10%

:32:20. > :32:23.who say sugar will be replaced with higher quantities of existing

:32:25. > :32:30.They say it could have a significant impact on public health.

:32:31. > :32:32.Visitors on a tour of the White House were given

:34:14. > :34:17.He'll be in the studio to talk about playing at the UK's biggest

:34:18. > :34:23.country festival, and his love of Monty Python.

:34:24. > :34:34.That is coming up shortly. Now for something completely different.

:34:35. > :34:37.Sport! Morning, Jessica. We are talking Arsene Wenger at the start

:34:38. > :34:44.this morning, because as you can see, he is not looking very happy.

:34:45. > :34:51.They were embarrassed, really. It was. The heaviest defeat they have

:34:52. > :34:56.suffered in 53 seasons of European football.

:34:57. > :34:58.Arsenal were humiliated in the Champions League last night.

:34:59. > :35:00.They were thrashed 5-1, at home, against Bayern Munich.

:35:01. > :35:03.That means they lost 10-2 on aggregate, and have gone out

:35:04. > :35:13.# Arsene Wenger, you are killing the club.

:35:14. > :35:16.Once, they sung Arsene Wenger's name in happy voices.

:35:17. > :35:18.Now, the future of the manager is a matter for direct action,

:35:19. > :35:27.They were four goals down from the first leg.

:35:28. > :35:34.First a Bayern Munich penalty, and then a yellow card

:35:35. > :35:44.His night was over, and so too was Arsenal's.

:35:45. > :35:48.Robert Lewandowski started the fade to Bayern-grey.

:35:49. > :35:51.The German champions hit them in waves.

:35:52. > :36:19.Arsenal 's biggest feet at the Ritz. -- defeat at the Emirates.

:36:20. > :36:20.An unwanted history for their manager,

:36:21. > :36:24.The referee, I think, was very, very powerful for Bayern tonight.

:36:25. > :36:27.At the moment in the game where Lewandowski, not only

:36:28. > :36:29.was it not a penalty, he was offside.

:36:30. > :36:32.On top of that, he gives us a red card.

:36:33. > :36:36.Overall, I must say that Bayern can be a good side,

:36:37. > :36:39.but tonight they can as well say thank you to the decisions

:36:40. > :36:47.England's women didn't have much joy against German opponents either.

:36:48. > :36:50.They lost 1-0 to Germany in the She Believes Cup.

:36:51. > :36:52.Anya Mitaarg with the goal for the European Champions

:37:02. > :37:03.of a medical package to Sir Bradley Wiggins,

:37:04. > :37:12.The team say they have no records to back up the claim Wiggins

:37:13. > :37:15.was given a legal de-congestant at a race in France

:37:16. > :37:22.in 2011, but take "full responsibility" for any failures.

:37:23. > :37:25.And finally, Eddie the Eagle has gone back to the ski jump,

:37:26. > :37:38.You remember Eddie the eagle, don't you? Of course. Famous from the 1988

:37:39. > :37:44.Winter Olympics. Back in Calgary. He finished last in the 88 Olympics,

:37:45. > :37:46.famously. He didn't really do too well on his return here, it was all

:37:47. > :37:55.just for a bit of fun. Into such a great story. A fantastic

:37:56. > :38:03.story. Not as successful as people might have expected, considering he

:38:04. > :38:06.is so famous. Stayed on his feet. Afterwards when talking to

:38:07. > :38:10.reporters, he said it is just like riding a bike you never forget how

:38:11. > :38:17.to ski jump. I have never tried it, and probably never will. Thank you

:38:18. > :38:21.for being with us. We have been talking about the fact that some TVs

:38:22. > :38:23.are pretty smart, but what if they were capable of actually spying on

:38:24. > :38:27.us? Well, the authorities

:38:28. > :38:29.are working on it, according to the website WikiLeaks,

:38:30. > :38:31.which has published thousands of pages of what it says

:38:32. > :38:33.are leaked CIA files. The documents appear to reveal

:38:34. > :38:36.attempts by the American spy agency to use household gadgets -

:38:37. > :38:38.such as TVs with an internet connection - to eavesdrop

:38:39. > :38:40.on people's conversations. But the material has

:38:41. > :38:42.not been verified. Security analyst Will Geddes is

:38:43. > :38:52.in our London newsroom this morning. Morning to you, what you think the

:38:53. > :38:56.likelihood of this is, they are looking at, spying on people

:38:57. > :39:03.possibly using telemetry is? I think it is highly likely. There is

:39:04. > :39:08.already software available in the public domain, spyware for various

:39:09. > :39:11.phones. They will generally have some protective measures on the

:39:12. > :39:14.phones which will not enable if you like the individual to be able to

:39:15. > :39:18.load that software without having physical access to the phone, but

:39:19. > :39:23.that can open up the camera and the microphone. So if we accelerate that

:39:24. > :39:28.up to the government level capabilities, then to do this

:39:29. > :39:33.remotely is not beyond their power. Is it legal? Well, there is the big

:39:34. > :39:37.question, and in terms of the legalities of being able to do it in

:39:38. > :39:42.certain locations will against certain targets, in many requests it

:39:43. > :39:47.isn't. -- in many respects. They would require sign off against

:39:48. > :39:55.certain aspects. What is interesting coming out on the Wikileaks reports,

:39:56. > :40:00.just under 9000 documents have been released, certainly within the CIA

:40:01. > :40:03.they allegedly have been creating their own somewhat secret little

:40:04. > :40:06.entity that is carrying out much of the work that conventionally would

:40:07. > :40:13.have been carried out by the NSA. What do you mean by that, what is

:40:14. > :40:18.it? In terms of their accrediting of what they are doing, and the

:40:19. > :40:21.transparency the government, the NSA is generally responsible for

:40:22. > :40:26.carrying out technology attacks, particularly in terms of hacking in

:40:27. > :40:29.its common sense. The CIA have been building their own individual and

:40:30. > :40:36.independent capability, and there are some big questions over sub of

:40:37. > :40:40.the controls president Obama put in during his administration to prevent

:40:41. > :40:44.intrusive surveillance, which is now showing that perhaps those requests

:40:45. > :40:48.and commands have been disregarded. What I am sort of worried about,

:40:49. > :40:51.people sitting at home today, how would you know that you had

:40:52. > :40:57.technology with this kind of in bed it spyware? I think you have got to

:40:58. > :41:00.look at a default position, where if you have anything connected to the

:41:01. > :41:05.intellect you are potentially vulnerable, tolerable to a variety

:41:06. > :41:09.of different types of threats, malware, rent somewhere or even

:41:10. > :41:14.intrusive surveillance by someone. We have two consider that in the

:41:15. > :41:18.last ten years we have consolidated most of our lives into one singular

:41:19. > :41:23.device that we hold in our pocket and carry around with us, it is our

:41:24. > :41:28.address book, telephone numbers, diary, personal data, even banking

:41:29. > :41:32.data for that Matt Tapp matter, we need to be cautious. But what is

:41:33. > :41:36.concerning about this Wikileaks, although it is alleged the CIA had

:41:37. > :41:39.been carrying out these actions, there is inevitably a vulnerability

:41:40. > :41:43.that if they can find those goals, others can as well. Foreign

:41:44. > :41:49.governments but also potentially criminals. Fascinating to talk to

:41:50. > :41:52.you. It is one of those stories you will probably be talking about

:41:53. > :41:58.throughout the day. Our TVs spying on us? I'm going to put a towel over

:41:59. > :42:03.it. That might affect your viewing. Good point!

:42:04. > :42:05.Prime Suspect was one of Britain's best

:42:06. > :42:09.It ran for 15 years from 1991, and now it's back on our screens.

:42:10. > :42:13.The new series is a prequel, set in 1973, and sees

:42:14. > :42:16.Stefani Martini star as a young Jane Tennison, the central character

:42:17. > :42:18.who was of course originally played by Helen Mirren.

:42:19. > :42:21.This time round, we see the young Tennison near the start

:42:22. > :42:23.of her career, and beginning to make an impact.

:42:24. > :42:41.Can I ask, sir, when we get there, I know what your role is, but once

:42:42. > :42:47.we're inside, if the mother cries, do I comfort her? How would I do

:42:48. > :42:51.that? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions. No. Just do what feels

:42:52. > :43:04.natural. That is the programme. Thank you so much for coming on.

:43:05. > :43:09.Everybody knows this programme. Is it daunting to be asked to step into

:43:10. > :43:12.the significant shoes of such a well loved character? Absolutely. When I

:43:13. > :43:16.was doing it I didn't really think about it, and then in the last few

:43:17. > :43:20.weeks and few months when it has been closer to coming out, that is

:43:21. > :43:25.when it has kind of hit me a bit more. Yes, it is terrifying but

:43:26. > :43:29.exciting I think. And of course played by Helen Mirren in now what

:43:30. > :43:34.is the later version, in some ways. Did you watch how she played the

:43:35. > :43:39.character? Absolutely, yes, it is so amazing to have that kind of

:43:40. > :43:43.resource for me to have there. To kind of play against actually, I

:43:44. > :43:46.tried not to copy her will imitate her or a watered-down version of her

:43:47. > :43:50.in any way. I tried to use the script in front of me which is very

:43:51. > :43:54.different, and she is very young and naive, so kind of play against what

:43:55. > :44:04.she did, but now that is where she is going. Is it true you were one

:44:05. > :44:12.when prime suspect came out? Yes, I'm a 90s baby. Have you had any

:44:13. > :44:15.interaction with her? She has released a statement saying she

:44:16. > :44:18.thinks it is a great thing that young women can see how difficult it

:44:19. > :44:21.was back then, but she is not involved in it, but it is nice to

:44:22. > :44:26.know that she is giving it her blessing. So much of it struck me,

:44:27. > :44:32.but the working environment, as a young woman in the police force then

:44:33. > :44:36.was pretty difficult, I think, is probably a good description? Yes,

:44:37. > :44:41.absolutely, and it really shocked me when I was reading it, because it's

:44:42. > :44:46.like so, so different in the way that women respond to being treated

:44:47. > :44:50.like that. I mean, I would imagine there are still a few men that would

:44:51. > :44:52.treat women like that in different workplaces and different situations,

:44:53. > :44:55.but I would like to feel that now women can feel they can speak out

:44:56. > :44:59.against it because they know it is not acceptable, whereas back then

:45:00. > :45:05.you kind of shrugged and got on with it and let it bounce off you. It is

:45:06. > :45:06.strange, clearly different. We have an interesting example of that from

:45:07. > :45:08.the programme. Here's a clip of Jane Tennison,

:45:09. > :45:11.the character Stefanie plays - finding out about a murder case

:45:12. > :45:17.which throughout the series It really illustrates what you were

:45:18. > :45:24.talking about. There has been a murder. Put the call-out. Body found

:45:25. > :45:29.in the Kingsmead. Horrible business. Sorry, say again, sir? 22 down Leigh

:45:30. > :45:40.Roche. I've not been around a murder case

:45:41. > :45:47.before. It is all hands on deck. Half the station is down at the

:45:48. > :45:51.Kingsmead estate. To tease and biscuits in the DI's offers. Maybe

:45:52. > :46:00.clean yourself up while you're at it.

:46:01. > :46:09.The other thing as well, which was done brilliant because I do remember

:46:10. > :46:15.1973. The whole immersion with their cars and everything is fantastic. It

:46:16. > :46:20.is amazing. I got to drive one of those cars which was great and very

:46:21. > :46:25.difficult. Just seeing the men parading around is incredible with

:46:26. > :46:30.the flared trousers and bulbous facial hair. They had to keep that

:46:31. > :46:34.for the whole summer. They had these incredible moustaches and sideburns

:46:35. > :46:40.they had to live with for four months. They looked like hipsters

:46:41. > :46:45.but they pulled it off. When you tell someone you have been to RADA,

:46:46. > :46:50.they have an expectation of your background and so on. You come from

:46:51. > :46:55.North Somerset? You are untypical of the people you would expect to see

:46:56. > :47:00.at Larder. How did you get there and what has your progress been? I went

:47:01. > :47:05.to RADA when I was 21. I was in the middle of nowhere and had no idea

:47:06. > :47:10.how to be an actress. If you're from the middle of nowhere, how would you

:47:11. > :47:16.even do that? In rural, safe, kind of close to nature, grounded

:47:17. > :47:21.upbringing. The thing about RADA, there are lots of different types of

:47:22. > :47:25.people. You would expect a type of RADA person to be one specific

:47:26. > :47:31.person. Completely fair enough. It is great because it is a mix.

:47:32. > :47:36.Everyone is chosen because they are different. It gave me an opportunity

:47:37. > :47:44.to get to where I am. You're also in something with Gillian Anderson. It

:47:45. > :47:49.is an Agatha Christie, isn't it? She played my mum. That is a great claim

:47:50. > :48:02.to fame, isn't it? Glenn close is my aunt. Chrissy Hendrix is my acting

:48:03. > :48:09.grandmother. I have no idea how I ended up here. I am a massive fan of

:48:10. > :48:17.Agatha Christie, are you? Hugely. The whodunnit, the tension and how

:48:18. > :48:20.fast the plot moves. You have an eight page long dinner scene where

:48:21. > :48:25.you are working out who did it and everything. By the end of it, me,

:48:26. > :48:29.Gillian Anderson and everyone lost their minds. Being in that room for

:48:30. > :48:34.a whole day doing one scene is great. Thank you for coming on to

:48:35. > :48:38.the programme this morning. Prime Suspect 1973

:48:39. > :48:41.continues tomorrow evening Here's Carol with a look

:48:42. > :48:54.at this morning's weather. What a beautiful picture! Have I

:48:55. > :49:02.made the mistake of asking you where it is again? No, not at all. It is

:49:03. > :49:08.from Fife, from one of our weather watchers. It is chilly if you are

:49:09. > :49:13.stepping out. Down the road in Dumfries and Galloway, a misty and

:49:14. > :49:18.cloudier scenario as he come south again towards Kent, there is more

:49:19. > :49:24.cloud around. As the friends move away, the rain moved with them. --

:49:25. > :49:30.the France. Still rain across the southern counties to produce cloud,

:49:31. > :49:36.rain and drizzle. It will remain grey in southern areas. If it stops

:49:37. > :49:41.raining -- it may stop raining for a time where you are. The weather will

:49:42. > :49:44.wax and wane. In Northern Ireland and Scotland there is sunshine

:49:45. > :49:49.around but it is also pretty windy. A windy start to the day across the

:49:50. > :49:51.western isles which will transfer the showers into the Northern Isles

:49:52. > :49:56.through the course the day from some of the showers will be heavy. The

:49:57. > :50:00.drizzle will clear across Northern Ireland. We are looking at sunshine

:50:01. > :50:05.and a pleasant day for the lighter winds in Scotland. In the North of

:50:06. > :50:09.England in the sunshine we could hit 12, 13 Celsius today. It should also

:50:10. > :50:14.brighten up across North Wales and the North Midlands. As we come south

:50:15. > :50:20.we have the weather front. That will produce cloud, rain and drizzle at

:50:21. > :50:23.times be quite murky for example in the south-west. This evening and

:50:24. > :50:26.overnight the weather front will continue to drift into the English

:50:27. > :50:30.Channel. Gusty winds around it. Behind its variable amount of cloud

:50:31. > :50:33.and some breaks. Scattered showers coming in particularly across

:50:34. > :50:36.Scotland for that some of those will be winter in the hills and

:50:37. > :50:43.mountains. Cold in Scotland and not as cold elsewhere. These tens and

:50:44. > :50:47.elevens are more representative of what we could expect this stage in

:50:48. > :50:49.March as a maximum afternoon temperature and not the lowest

:50:50. > :50:56.temperatures overnight. Tomorrow the weather front will be draped across

:50:57. > :51:02.the English Channel. Breezy here pulled it pivots around and takes a

:51:03. > :51:07.swipe at Cornwall. Some will. On a cloudy note. The cloud will tend to

:51:08. > :51:11.break. Some showers in the North with a lot of sunshine but it will

:51:12. > :51:16.feel springlike tomorrow in lighter winds. Debuchy is roughly 7-15.

:51:17. > :51:23.Somewhere north of London it is likely to hit around 16 full. --

:51:24. > :51:28.temperatures. As we move through Thursday and into Friday, the front

:51:29. > :51:34.continues to move northwards. It gets into Western and northern parts

:51:35. > :51:39.of the country. High pressure just hanging on in the East. To translate

:51:40. > :51:44.that onto the charts, eastern area staying largely dry with some

:51:45. > :51:48.sunshine out towards the West where we have frontal activity pushing

:51:49. > :51:51.northwards. That will bring some rain, not particularly heavy. It

:51:52. > :51:55.would be accompanied by breezy conditions as well. In the north

:51:56. > :51:59.temperatures are coming down a touch. We are still looking at

:52:00. > :52:03.double figures as we look down towards the south. For the rest of

:52:04. > :52:07.the weekend there will be rain at times. It will not turn very cold

:52:08. > :52:12.but there will be lower temperatures than we have been used to. Next week

:52:13. > :52:32.it may pick up again. Topsy-turvy weather once again.

:52:33. > :52:38.Lord Heseltine learned that he had been fired from the five government

:52:39. > :52:57.roles he held. Hours later, he learnt he'd been

:52:58. > :53:00.fired from the five government He was one of 13 Conservatives

:53:01. > :53:03.who voted against their party, as the House of Lords inflicted

:53:04. > :53:06.a second defeat on the Government. He joins us now from his

:53:07. > :53:11.home in Central London. I got a message saying the Chief

:53:12. > :53:13.Whip in the Lords wanted to see me. John Taylor had been extremely

:53:14. > :53:19.courteous all through this process. He explained to me I was going to be

:53:20. > :53:22.sacked. There you go. Have you had any correspondence in that time from

:53:23. > :53:32.Number 10 or the Prime Minister herself? Nope, I have not had any

:53:33. > :53:37.contact with Number 10. Let me be clear. There is a post box somewhere

:53:38. > :53:41.around. Maybe they sent me a letter. I have no idea. No one has been in

:53:42. > :53:47.touch with me for that they all know who I am. No one has been in touch

:53:48. > :53:51.with me. I think our viewers will find that interesting. You were a

:53:52. > :53:55.senior government adviser full you are leading opposition against the

:53:56. > :54:02.defining piece of legislation. No one has been in contact with you.

:54:03. > :54:09.Not from Number 10. That is the point I am making. That seems to be

:54:10. > :54:20.a surprise. Does not seem to be a for you? -- does it not seem to be a

:54:21. > :54:25.surprise for you? I don't know. They may have wanted to keep the news

:54:26. > :54:31.quite until the press had all gone to sleep, so to speak, and hoped it

:54:32. > :54:35.would be wary in the Budget debate. They are clever people. They work

:54:36. > :54:43.these things out. I can't pretend to know what the thinking was. Can you

:54:44. > :54:48.tell us if you think you have been harshly treated? As the treatment

:54:49. > :54:52.being unfair in this regard? I don't have feelings like that. The Prime

:54:53. > :54:57.Minister is entitled to sack me and she has done so. It is a great

:54:58. > :55:01.disappointment for me. For six years I have had incredible privilege of

:55:02. > :55:09.working inside the Whitehall machine with civil servants, helping

:55:10. > :55:14.ministers to make decisions. There has been no hint of any leaks or

:55:15. > :55:20.anything of that sort. I have been able to produce some reports which

:55:21. > :55:26.have been quite influential. So it has been a most exciting, fulfilling

:55:27. > :55:32.and privileged experience. In the end, Europe is the transcending

:55:33. > :55:36.issue of our time and you have always to decide in public life if

:55:37. > :55:44.you have a vote in parliament, where the national interest lies. To me it

:55:45. > :55:49.lies in the sovereignty of Parliament. I therefore must vote in

:55:50. > :55:58.order to preserve the sovereignty of Parliament. Just before we lose the

:55:59. > :56:01.context of that, every one of the 27 European nations parliament is going

:56:02. > :56:09.to have a decisive vote on this matter. What about us? Why not

:56:10. > :56:13.enshrine it in legislation? I can't see any conceivable argument against

:56:14. > :56:17.that. I am sure many people would say we have Woody had a vote on it,

:56:18. > :56:21.general population point of view. The way the Prime Minister is

:56:22. > :56:28.dealing with this, you say it is a transcending... Sorry. You said we

:56:29. > :56:33.have already had a vote. I accept that and the House of Lords has

:56:34. > :56:38.accepted that. We agree we should get on with the Brexit process. That

:56:39. > :56:43.is not at issue. What is at issue is what happens in to years' time when

:56:44. > :56:49.we know what deal we can get, when we know what British public opinion

:56:50. > :56:53.then believed. It is that time we are talking about, whether

:56:54. > :56:58.Parliament has the sovereign role in this matter. Very briefly if I could

:56:59. > :57:02.ask that question again, you said it is a transcending issue and will

:57:03. > :57:07.define the premiership of Theresa May. How do you think she would

:57:08. > :57:12.approach it from this point? Many have said she is playing hardball.

:57:13. > :57:19.The Prime Minister must play the role she thinks is best and,

:57:20. > :57:26.personally, I have a very different view. I share what she was saying

:57:27. > :57:30.before the referendum. She had views very closely allied with mindful

:57:31. > :57:36.that she now has a different job and has carried that through to the best

:57:37. > :57:40.of her convictions. I have not changed my mind. I have worked for

:57:41. > :57:45.six Prime Minister 's, something of that sort. Every of them believed

:57:46. > :57:51.the Jewish self interest was inextricably into a haven with

:57:52. > :57:56.Europe. I still believe that. -- that British self interest.

:57:57. > :57:58.Steph's been playing the Generation Game this week,

:57:59. > :58:17.Steph is with the baby boomers this morning who are in the gym. A lot of

:58:18. > :58:23.action here this morning that you are helping your husband on the

:58:24. > :58:29.machines. Not bossing him around. You know too much! I will take him

:58:30. > :58:35.away for five minutes and have a little chat. We are talking today

:58:36. > :58:39.about the Budget. Not long before we hear from the Chancellor. I would

:58:40. > :58:44.like every old person to be able to have the sort of independent life we

:58:45. > :58:49.have got. It is fine because we have pensions. For some people on

:58:50. > :58:53.ordinary retirement pensions, if they cut the care budget they will

:58:54. > :58:59.not be able to access care packages in the same way we can here. That

:59:00. > :59:04.has made a big difference to you. Yourself and your husband both have

:59:05. > :59:08.good pensions. If you have not got that and he relied on the care

:59:09. > :59:12.packages for national health and government, it is not so easy to

:59:13. > :59:16.attain. It causes problems with bed blocking which we would get blamed

:59:17. > :59:20.for. When care packages were in place it would not happen. I do not

:59:21. > :59:25.think that is something they should not cut any more money from. I will

:59:26. > :59:37.let you join your friends. Let me show you around. We have Marion in

:59:38. > :59:41.the atrium. She has written a book. She feels very lucky in what she has

:59:42. > :59:45.but would like to see more help for others so everyone can have the

:59:46. > :59:52.equal care. What is the wider picture on what people are worried

:59:53. > :59:56.about in their late 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s? People are very worried

:59:57. > :00:01.about social care. Although these people are doing all these

:00:02. > :00:08.wonderful, physical jerks and so on, the fact is that people over the age

:00:09. > :00:10.of 85 will have dementia, a fifth of them. They are very worried about

:00:11. > :00:15.social care and the funding of crucial. We need Philip Hammond to

:00:16. > :00:19.send to play some kind of sustainable system for the funding

:00:20. > :00:23.of social care, but for the older people and younger, disabled people.

:00:24. > :00:28.It has huge ramifications. A couple of weeks ago the BBC uncovered

:00:29. > :00:34.23,000 cases of alleged abuse amongst home care workers in the UK.

:00:35. > :00:42.That is terrible. It is a national scandal and has to be addressed.

:00:43. > :00:46.They are concerned about the resentment building up against some

:00:47. > :00:49.of the so-called pension perks, you know these universal benefits that

:00:50. > :00:53.were introduced like sort of election bribes by Gordon Brown that

:00:54. > :00:59.have no real kind of validity in them. That worry of inequality,

:01:00. > :01:03.then? And we need to address those. Over the age of 65 you don't have to

:01:09. > :01:11.continue in the future? People are very different in terms of their

:01:12. > :01:16.wealth. Some are wealthy and some are poor, and we have to safeguard

:01:17. > :01:23.the conditions of poor people, whether young or old. We have Angela

:01:35. > :01:39.Chancellor hasn't got that much room to manoeuvre. Even though economic

:01:40. > :01:43.figures are positive. Borrowing is still very high at around 50

:01:44. > :01:48.billion, for the financial year, but social care is probably the main

:01:49. > :01:54.area that needs extra care. Social care as well as my thing. Probably a

:01:55. > :02:04.hat-trick. We would like an immediate injection of cash and a

:02:05. > :02:11.plan. Can we get a good buy from everyone? One, two, three...

:02:12. > :02:15.Goodbye! There you go, that is us at Bournville gardens this morning.

:02:16. > :02:19.Isn't that lovely? I think you might be staying there.

:02:20. > :02:21.The story of the Dambusters is one of the most famous tales

:02:22. > :02:26.But you might not know that Bomber Command have never been

:02:27. > :02:28.Now Britain's last surviving Dambuster is calling

:02:29. > :02:32.George "Johnny" Johnson who served with 617 squadron feels that

:02:33. > :02:35.In a special report, the journalist and broadcaster

:02:36. > :02:38.Michael Buerk has taken Johnny back to Germany, to the spot

:02:39. > :02:47.Johnny Johnson may be looking at the present,

:02:48. > :02:55.He's back, three quarters of a century, to a moonlit night,

:02:56. > :02:57.and an almost impossible mission, death and glory.

:02:58. > :03:00.It was a thrilling experience, no other way to describe it.

:03:01. > :03:04.As a young man he was part of RAF Bomber Command,

:03:05. > :03:07.part of the sustained lethal campaign against the Nazis' war

:03:08. > :03:11.machine that all but destroyed many of Germany's cities.

:03:12. > :03:28.This is a huge lake held back by the great Zorpa dam.

:03:29. > :03:30.This is the Sorpesee, a huge lake held back

:03:31. > :03:34.It's a tourist resort these days, out of season, quiet, peaceful.

:03:35. > :03:37.But 74 years ago it was the target for the most famous

:03:38. > :03:41.The mission involved dropping specially invented bombs designed

:03:42. > :03:47.to destroy the three targets, the Mohne, Eder and Sorpe dams,

:03:48. > :03:50.captured in the 1950s film, The Dambusters.

:03:51. > :03:58.As a bomb aimer, Johnny Johnson's job was to hit the Sorpe Dam.

:03:59. > :04:01.Fritz Wortmann, then 14, was hiding in a tunnel

:04:02. > :04:07.TRANSLATION: The doors inside the dam burst open

:04:08. > :04:13.and there was an enormous gush of wind.

:04:14. > :04:16.Johnny's bomb was spot-on, but not enough to breach the Sorpe.

:04:17. > :04:20.But the other Dambusters blew great holes in the Mohne and Eder dams.

:04:21. > :04:22.Historians say Bomber Command's role in the Second World War remains

:04:23. > :04:30.I do think the reluctance to issue a Bomber Command campaign medal

:04:31. > :04:33.at this stage does reflect how controversial it is and the possible

:04:34. > :04:37.upset it could cause in Germany if they do,

:04:38. > :04:39.Johnny was awarded a Distinguished Flying Medal.

:04:40. > :04:41.He feels Bomber Command have never been properly rewarded

:04:42. > :04:44.for their contribution to the war effort with a campaign medal.

:04:45. > :04:46.Three years ago they were given a clasp, but Johnny

:04:47. > :04:51.Disgusted is the best way I can describe it.

:04:52. > :04:54.I feel that there's been no attempt to recognise the sacrifice

:04:55. > :05:06.Two old men by the side of a lake where they both nearly

:05:07. > :05:14.Adversaries then, friends now, until the end of their days.

:05:15. > :05:24.Wonderful to hear from Johnny Johnson. An incredible guy, isn't

:05:25. > :05:26.he? Let's take a last, brief

:05:27. > :05:28.look at the headlines I'm back with the latest

:05:29. > :07:06.from the BBC London He's one of America's biggest

:07:07. > :07:16.country music stars with a string of number one hits to his name

:07:17. > :07:20.and three Grammys to boot. As a child, Brad Paisley

:07:21. > :07:22.was given his first guitar by his grandfather and started

:07:23. > :07:25.writing his own songs The singer-songwriter

:07:26. > :07:34.has been busy working on his latest album,

:07:35. > :07:36.Love and War, and, this weekend, he's headlining the Country

:07:37. > :07:38.to Country Festival in the UK. He'll be with us in a moment,

:07:39. > :07:53.but first let's listen # When I'm sitting in traffic some

:07:54. > :08:02.afternoon, bored to death in some waiting room.

:08:03. > :08:11.# I'm going to close my eyes and picture you today.

:08:12. > :08:19.# You keep brushing that they're back out of your eyes.

:08:20. > :08:26.# It just keeps falling, and so do I.

:08:27. > :08:32.# I'm feeling like the luckiest man alive, today.

:08:33. > :08:44.It's great to be here. Tell us about this video, you made this. I made

:08:45. > :08:49.this, there is never left my laptop. I searched out a bunch of YouTube

:08:50. > :08:53.videos that people were already using my videos for their family

:08:54. > :08:58.memories. I thought that would be the easiest way for people to let me

:08:59. > :09:01.use their stuff. Once we put that altogether, I started contacting one

:09:02. > :09:05.after the other, most of them thought we were going to sue them

:09:06. > :09:13.something. It was like, Brad wants to talk to you about the wedding

:09:14. > :09:18.video you used his song for. They probably didn't think it was you!

:09:19. > :09:22.And then worried it would be a lawsuit. Then we started tracking

:09:23. > :09:26.down a few, and there were a view I didn't even I had any connection to,

:09:27. > :09:30.I disliked the clip, and we got the rights use it. And then I came to

:09:31. > :09:34.find out later that come alike, there is one scene at the end of the

:09:35. > :09:41.video where there is a man who gets out of a wheelchair to walk his

:09:42. > :09:47.daughter down the aisle. It says what I want to say. They had been to

:09:48. > :09:50.six concerts, we came to find out, and used my song for some of these

:09:51. > :09:55.moments, and that I had grabbed their cellphone once in a concert

:09:56. > :10:01.and took a video that myself and had no idea. Just really special moments

:10:02. > :10:06.in life. That is the point of a song, these great peaks get you

:10:07. > :10:12.through the valleys. The pinnacles can really make the hard times with

:10:13. > :10:17.it. Back in the UK now, headlining Country to Country, returning after

:10:18. > :10:23.a few years. Why do you love the UK so much? I love your crazy accent

:10:24. > :10:37.and your terrible food. Hold on a minute! I'm just teasing. It is fun,

:10:38. > :10:42.I love The Office, the British one. That is the way I discover that

:10:43. > :10:49.before America ever had one. I love jewels Holland's show. There are so

:10:50. > :10:54.much music especially over the is that has influenced me, whether that

:10:55. > :10:58.is Eric Clapton or Albert leave the guitarist who is a great British

:10:59. > :11:03.country guitarist. When you first came to the UK, did you think we got

:11:04. > :11:08.country music? I came here just thinking I want to go hear whether

:11:09. > :11:11.they care about me or not. I didn't think for a second that I would do

:11:12. > :11:18.as well as I have done here. I came to find that there on whale

:11:19. > :11:22.hillbillies here than I expected. -- there are more hillbillies foster we

:11:23. > :11:30.are going to look at another single, this is called The World.

:11:31. > :11:46.# You may be just another girl, but, to me, baby you are the world.

:11:47. > :11:52.# You think you are one of the millions, but you are one in a

:11:53. > :11:59.million to me. I had a great evening last night watching lots of your

:12:00. > :12:03.videos. Sounds terrible to me! With your terrible food! You are not

:12:04. > :12:08.going to let me live that down! LAUGHTER

:12:09. > :12:14.You clearly like to have a bit of fun, Celebrity, you read that a few

:12:15. > :12:19.years ago and it still has a much relevance. At the time, a few of the

:12:20. > :12:22.newspapers in Nashville said we love this song but I can't sit meaning

:12:23. > :12:26.anything in a decade, and I think it means more now than it did then.

:12:27. > :12:33.Taking a sideswipe at celebrity and what happens to be the one they

:12:34. > :12:36.become celebrities. This is a brave, or cowardly new world we live in,

:12:37. > :12:45.isn't it? William Shatner is in that. He is a good friend of mine

:12:46. > :12:51.and I am so glad he did that for me. I like videos that take the song

:12:52. > :12:55.further. How does the hat to go down in the UK? It goes down great. I

:12:56. > :13:00.expected that to be a hindrance, and what happens is I'm exotic, I am the

:13:01. > :13:04.furthest thing from exotic in America, I am like text but not

:13:05. > :13:09.exotic in our country, but when I come over here and this crazy exotic

:13:10. > :13:14.thing. I am a novelty item. Do you find lots of people coming to the

:13:15. > :13:16.concerts with these hats? They do, and I'm pretty sure they don't wear

:13:17. > :13:22.them every day. They probably got them for that. This weekend, there

:13:23. > :13:25.are cowboy hats being so right now to a bunch of Britons that are

:13:26. > :13:32.basically going to show up with it shaped completely wrong. Over the

:13:33. > :13:39.shape is key, is it? I think so. It is about how the lines go. Love the

:13:40. > :13:45.boots as well. If you are going to Country to Country, you have had

:13:46. > :13:48.advice from the man inside. Shape it to fit your face. Country to Country

:13:49. > :13:52.is on this weekend. His new album is called

:13:53. > :13:54."Love and War". Charlie and Sally will be

:13:55. > :13:58.here from six o'clock
