:00:00. > :00:07.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:08. > :00:09.16 million people face starvation in East Africa,

:00:10. > :00:16.as a major fundraising campaign is launched to help them.

:00:17. > :00:18.Drought and conflict are being blamed for the crisis,

:00:19. > :00:38.which is being called the worst famine in a generation.

:00:39. > :00:39.Good morning, it is Wednesday 15 March.

:00:40. > :00:42.Also this morning: Levels of identity fraud in the UK

:00:43. > :00:55.New figures show people under 30 are a growing target.

:00:56. > :00:57.Snowstorm Stella brings large parts of the eastern United States

:00:58. > :01:00.Up to 50 million people could be affected.

:01:01. > :01:03.Driverless vehicles are set to take to our roads,

:01:04. > :01:05.but a report out today warns we are not ready

:01:06. > :01:10.In sport: Leicester defy logic once again.

:01:11. > :01:13.They knock out Sevilla, and qualify for the quarter-finals

:01:14. > :01:18.Also this morning: After millions of views online, the BBC interviewee

:01:19. > :01:20.whose children stole the show talks about his family's sudden

:01:21. > :01:31.Certainly never had anything like this in our life before.

:01:32. > :01:37.You know, got to the point when we had to put turn off the phones, and

:01:38. > :01:38.Facebook and Twitter and that sort of stuff.

:01:39. > :01:49.Good morning, from a cloudy and chilly St James's Park in London.

:01:50. > :01:53.That is a very similar condition to what we are experiencing across the

:01:54. > :01:57.UK at the moment. It is cloudy, some of us murky, with some drizzle in

:01:58. > :02:00.the north-west. But the sun will come out, particularly across

:02:01. > :02:04.eastern parts of Wales and the Midlands, highs of 16 or maybe 17

:02:05. > :02:07.today. I will have more in 15 minutes.

:02:08. > :02:11.First, our main story: A major appeal has been launched to help 16

:02:12. > :02:13.million people facing starvation, in what is being described

:02:14. > :02:16.as the worst famine in a generation in East Africa.

:02:17. > :02:19.The Disasters Emergency Committee, which is made up of 13 UK aid

:02:20. > :02:22.agencies, says drought and conflict are to blame for the crisis,

:02:23. > :02:25.which has left tens of thousands of children at risk

:02:26. > :02:29.The United Nations says the crisis in the four affected countries,

:02:30. > :02:31.Nigeria, South Sudan, Somalia and Yemen, is the worst

:02:32. > :02:43.Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale has more.

:02:44. > :02:48.The Disasters Emergency Committee says drought and conflict has left

:02:49. > :02:54.millions in East Africa in immediate need of food, water and medical

:02:55. > :02:58.treatment. Across South Sudan, Somalia, can you and Ethiopia, it

:02:59. > :03:03.says 60 million people don't know when they are next going to eat --

:03:04. > :03:07.Kenya. More than 800,000 children are severely malnourished, and some

:03:08. > :03:11.are even eating leaves. The 13 aid agencies that make up the Disasters

:03:12. > :03:16.Emergency Committee are already on the ground, delivering clean

:03:17. > :03:19.drinking water and treatment for malnutrition. But they are now

:03:20. > :03:25.appealing to the public for funds so that they can do even more to help

:03:26. > :03:28.these people. The government has already promised ?200 million in

:03:29. > :03:33.emergency aid for South Sudan and Somalia, and the International

:03:34. > :03:37.Development Secretary said her department would match the first ?5

:03:38. > :03:42.million donated by the public and the new appeal. She also urged other

:03:43. > :03:46.countries to follow reason's bleed, before the crisis became what she

:03:47. > :03:48.called a stain on our collective conscience. The world, she said,

:03:49. > :03:49.cannot afford to wait. We will be speaking

:03:50. > :03:51.to the chief executive of the Disasters Emergency Committee

:03:52. > :04:00.in around half an hour's time. Identity fraud is at an all-time

:04:01. > :04:04.high in the UK, with more young That is according to new data

:04:05. > :04:07.analysed by the fraud Identity fraud involves criminals

:04:08. > :04:10.using someone's personal information to obtain money,

:04:11. > :04:12.products or services. Our home affairs correspondent

:04:13. > :04:27.Danny Shaw reports. Stolen identity, civil servant Lou

:04:28. > :04:34.Croydon was the victim of one of Britain's fastest growing crimes.

:04:35. > :04:37.His name, address, date of birth and banking details were obtained by a

:04:38. > :04:41.thief who pinched post from his letterbox. Armed with the

:04:42. > :04:46.information, the fraudster applied for a bank card and then used to go

:04:47. > :04:50.on a spending spree. When you first find out that it has happened, it is

:04:51. > :04:53.quite shocking. And then you get very worried because you wonder what

:04:54. > :04:57.else they might have done without personal details. If it is only

:04:58. > :05:01.opening bank accounts that is one thing, but you wonder what else they

:05:02. > :05:04.have done with it. Have they signed up to websites, have they got

:05:05. > :05:06.passport applications? So it is a very troubling experience. According

:05:07. > :05:09.to the fraud prevention service Cifas there were almost 173,000

:05:10. > :05:14.cases of identity fraud last year, the highest total ever. The number

:05:15. > :05:17.of victims under the age of 21 increased by more than a third, with

:05:18. > :05:20.the Midlands and the north-east of England registering the highest

:05:21. > :05:27.identity fraud increases year on year. Cifas has produced a film

:05:28. > :05:33.warning people to be careful about how much information they reveal in

:05:34. > :05:37.public and online. Fraudsters are adept at exploiting information

:05:38. > :05:41.posted on social media sites. It advises people to use passwords,

:05:42. > :05:43.privacy settings and antivirus software on their computers, and to

:05:44. > :05:48.shred important paper documents. The Conservative MP Craig Mackinlay

:05:49. > :05:51.has been interviewed by police under caution over the expenses

:05:52. > :05:53.he claimed during his Mr MacKinlay beat the former

:05:54. > :05:57.Ukip leader Nigel Farage Several other Tory MPs

:05:58. > :06:01.are also being investigated. Our political correspondent

:06:02. > :06:23.Iain Watson is in Westminster. Well, I think it is certainly a

:06:24. > :06:26.matter of how serious the police are taking these allegations around

:06:27. > :06:30.election expenses, but they interviewed an MP under caution for

:06:31. > :06:34.up to six hours over the weekend. But I think it is also significant

:06:35. > :06:37.because ultimately if, and I do stress, if, there is any sign that

:06:38. > :06:44.MPs can be disqualified in the elections rerun, and Nigel Farage,

:06:45. > :06:48.the UKIP leader, was defeated by the Conservatives' Craig Mackinlay in

:06:49. > :06:52.Kent, he has a majority of just over 3000 so it is a tight seat in the

:06:53. > :06:55.former UKIP leader has expressed an interest in standing there again.

:06:56. > :06:58.Now, basically at the centre of this, we have seen Craig Mackinlay's

:06:59. > :07:02.election expenses, they are below the legal limit, but an

:07:03. > :07:08.investigation suggests a further ?18,000 was spent, and party

:07:09. > :07:12.officials went there to try and see off the threat from Nigel Farage,

:07:13. > :07:16.and the allegation, of course, is that this was some way of trying to

:07:17. > :07:19.get around the election rules, which of course is denied by the

:07:20. > :07:25.Conservatives. But the reason it is potentially a big story is Theresa

:07:26. > :07:28.May has a very narrow Commons majority and there are 17

:07:29. > :07:32.investigations going on around the country. In a leaked e-mail, another

:07:33. > :07:35.Conservative MP suggested that he and his colleagues have been cast

:07:36. > :07:39.adrift by party officials in London, who were more interested in covering

:07:40. > :07:42.their own backs. Obviously the Conservative Party have said they

:07:43. > :07:46.are clearly cooperating with investigations, but I think it is a

:07:47. > :07:49.measure of how seriously those MPs are taking those investigations that

:07:50. > :07:51.they are now expressing their frustration. They thought, allegedly

:07:52. > :07:57.privately, but now very much in public. No doubt we will keep a very

:07:58. > :07:59.close eye on that in this programme and throughout the week as well.

:08:00. > :08:01.A rare glimpse into President Trump's private finances has

:08:02. > :08:04.emerged, with the leak of his 2005 tax return.

:08:05. > :08:06.Mr Trump refused to make the documents public

:08:07. > :08:09.during his election campaign, but the US TV network MSNBC has now

:08:10. > :08:16.In terms of what's on here, let me give you the basics.

:08:17. > :08:20.Aside from the numbers being large, these pages are straightforward.

:08:21. > :08:25.He paid - it looks like $38 million in taxes.

:08:26. > :08:31.He took a big write-down of $103 million, more on that later.

:08:32. > :08:35.If you add up the lines for income, he made more than $150 million

:08:36. > :08:40.The release led to an angry response from the White House,

:08:41. > :08:42.which has said, "You know you are desperate for ratings

:08:43. > :08:46.when you are willing to violate the law to push a story about two

:08:47. > :08:52.pages of tax returns from over a decade ago."

:08:53. > :08:55.Large parts of the East Coast of the United States has been

:08:56. > :08:58.brought to a halt because of heavy blizzards caused by snowstorm

:08:59. > :09:03.Around 50 million people across the country have been warned

:09:04. > :09:06.to expect further severe weather, and the German Chancellor,

:09:07. > :09:09.Angela Merkel, has been forced to postpone her trip to Washington

:09:10. > :09:31.It is nicknamed the city that never sleeps.

:09:32. > :09:34.But even New York's most determined have struggled to carry

:09:35. > :09:41.There was little sign of large crowds of tourists in Times Square,

:09:42. > :09:44.Instead, many headed to Central Park.

:09:45. > :09:48.I've been around snow maybe once or twice in my life,

:09:49. > :09:53.We had a snowball fight, and it was pretty cold,

:09:54. > :09:56.so we might get some hot chocolate, now, honestly.

:09:57. > :09:58.New Yorkers might be used to heavy snowstorms,

:09:59. > :10:01.but authorities have warned them to stay indoors.

:10:02. > :10:04.Upstate, conditions were even more severe, with 20 inches falling

:10:05. > :10:12.Across the east coast, airport runways were covered

:10:13. > :10:15.in white, and the departure boards red, with thousands

:10:16. > :10:18.Much of the nation's capital was also paralysed,

:10:19. > :10:24.The city is famous for its cherry blossoms in spring, but this storm

:10:35. > :10:37.and also in Boston, where the school buses had to make way

:10:38. > :10:44.Until now, much of America's north-east region had enjoyed

:10:45. > :10:49.but storm Stella has delivered a harsh reminder that winter

:10:50. > :10:58.It looks spectacular, but I understand of course causing issues

:10:59. > :10:58.as well. It is the news interview that

:10:59. > :11:01.everyone's been talking about. Last week, Professor Robert Kelly's

:11:02. > :11:04.family became an internet sensation when his children crashed his

:11:05. > :11:06.appearance on BBC News. Well, they agreed to come

:11:07. > :11:09.back on the BBC to talk Our correspondent

:11:10. > :11:13.Sangita Myska has more. Professor Robert Kelly,

:11:14. > :11:16.an expert on South Korea, offering expert analysis

:11:17. > :11:21.of global events. But it was the unexpected

:11:22. > :11:25.entrance of his daughter, Marion, who was to create

:11:26. > :11:28.a global event of its own. I think one of your

:11:29. > :11:30.children's just walked in. To avoid being upstaged,

:11:31. > :11:36.the Professor tried a gentle push. Only for Marion's brother

:11:37. > :11:39.to enter on wheels. Was he hoping that, just perhaps,

:11:40. > :11:56.no-one had noticed after all? A perfectly timed slam of the door

:11:57. > :12:01.ensured this video went viral. Professor Kelly and his family

:12:02. > :12:04.were invited back onto live BBC

:12:05. > :12:06.television, only for Marion to once So, in spite of it all,

:12:07. > :12:22.did they find it as funny as we did? And we've watched it

:12:23. > :12:29.multiple times, too, and our families have

:12:30. > :12:32.watched it as well. Everybody we know seems to think

:12:33. > :12:34.it's pretty hysterical. So yeah, we understand why

:12:35. > :12:37.people find it enjoyable, catching a regular family

:12:38. > :12:39.off-guard, so yes. Just a regular family,

:12:40. > :12:52.whose off-guard moments have become In the last half-hour, have you seen

:12:53. > :12:58.the video of the news conference in South Korea? Welcome to 2017, isn't

:12:59. > :13:08.it? Are brilliant, unscripted, wonderful video. And she was in a

:13:09. > :13:12.hippity hoppity mood. And in that interview she starts chewing a toy

:13:13. > :13:20.hammer halfway through and they have to remove her from the screen again.

:13:21. > :13:27.She is just brilliant. I did have to do a double check, but Kat was here

:13:28. > :13:33.yesterday. A memorable performance from me. And what about Leicester.

:13:34. > :13:38.Speaking of memorable performances, amazing stuff from Leicester. Here

:13:39. > :13:45.they are struggling in the Premier league after winning the title last

:13:46. > :13:48.season, and some kind of vestige of that logic defying season has

:13:49. > :13:51.obviously lingered. There is something left in Leicester which

:13:52. > :13:57.means they can produce performances like they did last night, to come

:13:58. > :14:00.back, defeat Sevilla and get to the quarterfinals of the Champions

:14:01. > :14:01.League. And the thing with Leicester is you can't say that they won't.

:14:02. > :14:04.Another chapter in the remarkable story of Leicester City unfolds,

:14:05. > :14:07.as they beat Sevilla to move into the quarter-finals

:14:08. > :14:11.It was another great evening in the Premier League champions'

:14:12. > :14:13.history, winning 2-0 on the night, 3-2 on aggregate,

:14:14. > :14:15.to take their place in Friday's quarter-final draw.

:14:16. > :14:18.Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton the scorers.

:14:19. > :14:20.The Football Association have charged Manchester United

:14:21. > :14:23.with failing to control their players during Monday's FA Cup

:14:26. > :14:33.Nicky Henderson became the most successful trainer

:14:34. > :14:34.of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.

:14:35. > :14:37.Jockey Noel Fehily was on board Buveur D'Air, winning by 4.5

:15:07. > :15:10.look at the papers shortly. Carol is at St James's Park

:15:11. > :15:13.for us this morning. But before we hear about

:15:14. > :15:16.the weather, we've got Have a listen to actually Harriet,

:15:17. > :15:27.here. -- Ainsley. Carol received a TRIC award

:15:28. > :15:31.for Best Weather Presenter. We can see her here

:15:32. > :15:40.accepting her award. Every time she wins it, we are

:15:41. > :15:50.equally at excited. That is a triple hat-trick! Congratulations, Carol!

:15:51. > :15:54.It was an early start to you. Good morning to you all. What an honour

:15:55. > :15:59.and a pleasure it was. I can tell you that I did not expect to win it.

:16:00. > :16:06.So thank you very much for the TRIC Award. Look at the lovely spring

:16:07. > :16:09.blossom behind me here at St James's Park. It is Chile, though, and

:16:10. > :16:15.fairly cloudy. This will change as we go through the day to stop for

:16:16. > :16:18.many of us, it will brighten. It will be milder dry. -- chilly.

:16:19. > :16:26.Sergei take a look around the charts, what we have this morning is

:16:27. > :16:32.quite a cloudy start. You will find that it will brighten up around

:16:33. > :16:37.central and eastern areas. At the west, we are likely to hold onto

:16:38. > :16:40.some cloud and murkiness. Around the coastline is around Scotland in

:16:41. > :16:43.particular. They was this patchy light rain and some drizzle. And it

:16:44. > :16:47.will still be quite windy, especially across the Northern

:16:48. > :16:50.Isles. But nothing like we had yesterday afternoon. So this

:16:51. > :16:54.afternoon in Scotland, it will store the windy in the north. We are

:16:55. > :16:59.looking at patchy ) drizzle in the west. But the rest of Scotland,

:17:00. > :17:03.bright and sunny spells. Across northern England and the north-west,

:17:04. > :17:06.more cloud, but for Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, at some sunshine. The

:17:07. > :17:12.Midlands will seas on Cloudbreak yuppie sunshine. It is a clear

:17:13. > :17:15.bright skies. As we drift to the south-west committee will hold onto

:17:16. > :17:20.a bit more cloud as we go through day. Maybe some coastal mist. For

:17:21. > :17:24.Wales, too, you will see some murkiness around the coast.

:17:25. > :17:29.Especially the West Coast around Cardigan Bay. It is Wales will see

:17:30. > :17:33.some height averages of 16 or 17, just like the Midlands. In northern

:17:34. > :17:37.England, the influence of the weather front will make it cloudy,

:17:38. > :17:42.but there could be so bright spells. Heading through the evening in

:17:43. > :17:46.overnight, we will see more cloud building, and generally, it will be

:17:47. > :17:50.a cloudy night. A murky one. Still with some patchy rain in the

:17:51. > :17:54.north-west, and also some hellfire, sea fog, and some low level for

:17:55. > :18:00.coming in across the eastern side of the east in Channel and south-east

:18:01. > :18:07.generally. That will turn to ease away tomorrow and it will turn

:18:08. > :18:11.could. A weather front is coming south, taking rain with it. Behind

:18:12. > :18:14.it, literature will go down and we will see an extra sunshine and

:18:15. > :18:19.showers. Some of the showers will be wintry, especially in the hills.

:18:20. > :18:23.Ahead of that, we hold on to the brighter and milder conditions. On

:18:24. > :18:29.Friday, what we have been talking about is Storm stellar in the

:18:30. > :18:35.states. This is what is left of it coming our way. -- Radu. It splits

:18:36. > :18:39.into over the Atlantic, and then we have the rain moving south-west hill

:18:40. > :18:45.snow in Scotland. Not unusual at this stage. But that is all the snow

:18:46. > :18:49.we are expecting. The rate is not falling into cold air like it was in

:18:50. > :18:51.New York. We'll see the second batch coming through on night. That leads

:18:52. > :19:00.to an unsettled period. Thank you so much about, Carol. I

:19:01. > :19:07.love the jacket, the cherry blossoms, and they too are the Best

:19:08. > :19:14.Weather Presenter ever. Six on the trough, 19 total. Everybody else

:19:15. > :19:20.should ever give up. -- everybody else should just give up. We are

:19:21. > :19:26.even more excited that she is, I think. She expected. In a nice way.

:19:27. > :19:35.Because we all know that she is the best. She is the best. Let's look at

:19:36. > :19:41.the papers after the court heads. Here are the headlines this morning:

:19:42. > :19:43.-- quarter heads. UK aid agencies launch a fundraising

:19:44. > :19:47.appeal to help millions of people Identity fraud in the UK

:19:48. > :19:50.is at a record high, with more young people

:19:51. > :19:58.becoming victims. Lucky I didn't wind, because I could

:19:59. > :20:09.not control it. I am so excitable. Come down. You are over excitable,

:20:10. > :20:20.today. -- calm. Can you be over excitable? Identikit can. You can.

:20:21. > :20:24.-- ie do not think you can. The Getty papers, here we have the

:20:25. > :20:30.Cheltenham Festival. So lots on that in many papers, as well. The Daily

:20:31. > :20:35.Mail has quite a few stories about Prince William. He has been on a ski

:20:36. > :20:39.holiday. And they're talking about Facebook, Google, Twitter, and so

:20:40. > :20:52.on, being shamed for failing to tackle online hate, child abuse and

:20:53. > :20:58.more. As you said, on the Financial Times, there is the story about

:20:59. > :21:03.Muirhead allowing women members. They voted against that a while ago,

:21:04. > :21:12.but now they are back on the Open rota. And on the Times, they have

:21:13. > :21:17.Angelina Jolie, who was nervous before her first appearance as a

:21:18. > :21:21.visiting professor. And that is the front page of the Daily Telegraph,

:21:22. > :21:24.too, and they have a picture of the Cheltenham Festival that, which

:21:25. > :21:35.started yesterday. Who wants to go first? In the sun, lots of coverage

:21:36. > :21:40.of lesser's amazing when, but this is the best picture the papers at

:21:41. > :21:44.the moment, I think. Maradona Hand bawling in a 5-a-side match to

:21:45. > :21:50.promote the draw for the Fifa under 20 World Cup. Azarenka, there is the

:21:51. > :21:54.original picture. That was when he scored the goal to beat England in

:21:55. > :22:00.the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Almost an exact replica of that again in

:22:01. > :22:06.this 5-a-side tournament. Just the other hand, isn't it? I am impressed

:22:07. > :22:11.he can do it with both. Very talented. So you know we have a

:22:12. > :22:15.figure four insulation that basically tells us how much the cost

:22:16. > :22:18.of living is going up by? What the office of national statistics do is

:22:19. > :22:22.work out what products are popular that we are buying. So the services

:22:23. > :22:28.and products. And every so often, they will work out and change these

:22:29. > :22:32.different products that are in their it is interesting to see what has

:22:33. > :22:43.made it in and out. Now included in this list of thing things -- things

:22:44. > :22:48.are soymilk. Things that are not included any more mental cigarettes,

:22:49. > :22:54.a single drainer sink, a jostling, and alcopops. So that is

:22:55. > :22:57.fascinating. It is an idea of how society changes. And the Daily

:22:58. > :23:03.Telegraph is picked up on jigsaw is not being in there any more.

:23:04. > :23:11.Apparently the over 50s are using them more than ever, so they have

:23:12. > :23:18.made it in as well. I like a jigsaw. There are other things that in there

:23:19. > :23:28.that we are not using any more, like the word whatshername. What do we

:23:29. > :23:36.use now? What is her name? You're watching BBC Breakfast.

:23:37. > :23:38.The aim of the medical profession is perhaps,

:23:39. > :23:41.above all, to help people get better and save lives.

:23:42. > :23:43.But when terminal illness makes that impossible,

:23:44. > :23:46.care turns to making a patient feel as comfortable as can be.

:23:47. > :23:49.A new film detailing the importance of the right approach during those

:23:50. > :23:52.final days is being used to help educate staff and better

:23:53. > :23:55.It's based on the experiences of one family.

:23:56. > :24:02.He was 49 years old. He was seemingly fit in well. Life was

:24:03. > :24:05.wonderful. We had been away on holiday, and they had a chest

:24:06. > :24:09.infection. They can make a couple weeks then suddenly Seth got some

:24:10. > :24:13.trouble breathing. It was May 2014, and Leslie's husband, Seth, was

:24:14. > :24:18.diagnosed with pragmatic cancer. He died 33 days after his diagnosis.

:24:19. > :24:28.Seth's dying wish was never fulfilled. He wanted to die at home.

:24:29. > :24:33.We felt like it was a daily intervention. It just felt like no

:24:34. > :24:37.one was really listening to us. Leslie put her frustrations and

:24:38. > :24:46.anger down in writing. Her and Seth's story has now been adapted

:24:47. > :24:52.into a short story, Homeward Bound. An intensive course of chemotherapy?

:24:53. > :24:59.Chemotherapy? Happily give you this news when you are on your own? You

:25:00. > :25:03.only go to die once. You wanted to be as good as it possibly can be. I

:25:04. > :25:06.wanted to show with some compassion and sensitivity that dilemma that

:25:07. > :25:11.all families find themselves in in that difficult time of life. The

:25:12. > :25:14.film is about to be screened here in London. The idea is that it is then

:25:15. > :25:20.used as an educational resource in hospices and across the NHS. Nobody

:25:21. > :25:26.told me what was going on. Nobody spoke to Seth. Nobody had a

:25:27. > :25:30.conversation with me about what I might need, what might help,

:25:31. > :25:36.nothing. What was your reaction to the film you saw it? It made me cry.

:25:37. > :25:39.We need to make sure we are doing it right. And we are getting better.

:25:40. > :25:43.Because we only have one chance. I thing sometimes people presumed that

:25:44. > :25:47.other people have the conversations. So other people think that they are

:25:48. > :25:51.sure that other people have spoken to the family or explain things to

:25:52. > :25:56.them. In 2009, the Department of Health funded the Dying Matters

:25:57. > :26:00.coalition, established across England and Wales to improve and of

:26:01. > :26:04.life care. Its mission is to help people talk more openly about death.

:26:05. > :26:08.But many accept that more can be done, and Homeward

:26:09. > :26:16.-- Seth's story can help. People understood what it meant to them.

:26:17. > :26:20.How those last few days were so important, and how would a little

:26:21. > :26:23.bit of thought, we may have been to do so in the differently. It is

:26:24. > :26:27.about learning from that. We only die once. It should be like a birth.

:26:28. > :26:34.Special and pressures. With good memories. Just to sustain those left

:26:35. > :26:48.behind. Seth asked me to show the story because he was a selfless man.

:26:49. > :26:48.That is a wonderful bit of television.

:26:49. > :26:51.That was Lesley Goodburn speaking to Tim Muffett.

:26:52. > :30:15.You're watching Breakfast. latest in half and now. Plenty on

:30:16. > :30:17.our website at the usual address. Now though it's back

:30:18. > :30:19.to Louise and Dan. Hello, this is Breakfast

:30:20. > :30:24.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. We will bring you all the latest

:30:25. > :30:29.news and sport in a moment. But also on Breakfast this morning:

:30:30. > :30:32.How one man's death became After 8:00am, we will speak

:30:33. > :30:39.to the police officer in charge of investigating the man

:30:40. > :30:43.on Saddleworth Moor. With a boom in under-25s taking

:30:44. > :30:46.to the seas, Steph will be looking into whether cruises

:30:47. > :30:48.are the new cool. And, as the Forces' Sweetheart

:30:49. > :30:57.prepares to release a new album to mark her 100th birthday,

:30:58. > :31:00.we will be joined by Dame Vera Lynn's daughter,

:31:01. > :31:03.to hear about the memories But now, a summary of this

:31:04. > :31:15.morning's main news: A major appeal has been launched

:31:16. > :31:19.to help 16 million people facing starvation, in what is being

:31:20. > :31:21.described as the worst famine The Disasters Emergency Committee,

:31:22. > :31:26.which is made up of 13 UK aid agencies, says drought and conflict

:31:27. > :31:36.are to blame for the crisis. Let's speak now to our Africa

:31:37. > :31:39.correspondent Emmanuel Igunza, who is in Ethiopia's

:31:40. > :31:49.capital, Addis Ababa. Good morning to you. Thank you so

:31:50. > :32:02.much for talking to us. Give us a sense of what is going on there and

:32:03. > :32:08.how much people need a. -- aid. Millions of people are facing

:32:09. > :32:12.starvation. In South Sudan the UN has declared them in there. 1

:32:13. > :32:15.million people are said to be in danger of starvation because of this

:32:16. > :32:20.conflict which has been raging on since 2013. And across in Somalia,

:32:21. > :32:25.an eminent famine. We are already hearing numbers about 100 have died

:32:26. > :32:29.just in March. The UN are saying much more needs to be done to help

:32:30. > :32:34.these people. Here in Ethiopia, also, millions of people, about 6

:32:35. > :32:37.million, are in urgent need of assistance. They are facing yet

:32:38. > :32:41.another drought after the El Nino phenomena affected most of the

:32:42. > :32:46.country. Farmers have lost all their livestock. Many people are in urgent

:32:47. > :32:51.need, and the UN says much needs to be done if these people are to be

:32:52. > :32:56.saved. Thank you very much for talking to us. And a little bit

:32:57. > :32:59.later we are expecting to speak to Disasters Emergency Committee chief

:33:00. > :33:00.executive, to find out what exactly can be done to help all those

:33:01. > :33:02.people. A rare glimpse into President

:33:03. > :33:05.Trump's private finances has emerged, with the leak

:33:06. > :33:07.of his 2005 tax return. Mr Trump refused to make

:33:08. > :33:09.the documents public during his election campaign,

:33:10. > :33:13.but the US TV network MSNBC has now In terms of what's on here,

:33:14. > :33:19.let me give you the basics. Aside from the numbers being large,

:33:20. > :33:22.these pages are straightforward. He paid - it looks like

:33:23. > :33:27.$38 million in taxes. He took a big write-down of $103

:33:28. > :33:30.million, more on that later. If you add up the lines for income,

:33:31. > :33:34.he made more than $150 million Which simply means congratulations

:33:35. > :33:50.or good luck, by the way. The release led to an angry response

:33:51. > :33:53.from the White House, Cases of identity fraud in the UK

:33:54. > :34:00.are at an all-time high, according to figures from the fraud

:34:01. > :34:02.prevention organisation Cifas. The crime involves stealing

:34:03. > :34:04.someone's personal information to obtain money,

:34:05. > :34:06.products or services. New data suggests young people

:34:07. > :34:18.are a growing target. A Conservative MP has been

:34:19. > :34:21.questioned for six hours by police about the money he claimed

:34:22. > :34:24.during his general election Craig MacKinlay beat the former

:34:25. > :34:31.Ukip leader Nigel Farage He submitted expenses for ?15,000,

:34:32. > :34:36.which is just under the legal limit. The people of the Netherlands

:34:37. > :34:39.are voting in the first of three crucial elections in Europe this

:34:40. > :34:42.year, which are being viewed as important tests of the popularity

:34:43. > :34:45.of nationalist parties. The anti-Islam, anti-EU,

:34:46. > :34:47.far-right leader Geert Wilders's party performed best in polls

:34:48. > :34:49.leading up to the vote, but his support seems

:34:50. > :34:51.to be slipping. The Dutch Prime Minister,

:34:52. > :34:54.Mark Rutte has said the election is an opportunity for voters to beat

:34:55. > :35:05.the wrong sort of populism. Large parts of the east coast

:35:06. > :35:09.of the United States has been brought to a halt because of heavy

:35:10. > :35:12.blizzards caused by storm Stella. Around 50 million people

:35:13. > :35:15.across the country have been warned to expect further severe weather,

:35:16. > :35:17.and the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has been forced

:35:18. > :35:32.to postpone her trip to Washington We have heard yesterday they are

:35:33. > :35:39.being told not to go anywhere, and we can see why. We will have the

:35:40. > :35:45.travel and weather. The weather from Carol and about ten minutes' time,

:35:46. > :35:52.and a crazy night for Leicester. A few weeks ago all the talk was about

:35:53. > :35:55.Ranieri struggling in the league, no chance in the Champions League and

:35:56. > :36:01.they can't stop winning. Have they got rid of Ranieri and is that what

:36:02. > :36:06.they needed to do to find their form and refresh themselves, or have they

:36:07. > :36:10.all downed tools to push Ranieri out the door? It depends on how cynical

:36:11. > :36:12.you are about the world of football. I will leave you to make your own

:36:13. > :36:13.mind up about that. Leicester City have joined Barcelona

:36:14. > :36:16.and Bayern Munich in the quarter finals of the Champions League,

:36:17. > :36:18.after beating Sevilla 2-0 on the night, going through 3-2

:36:19. > :36:32.on aggregate, on one of the greatest For Leicester city, the power of

:36:33. > :36:36.surprise is a renewable energy. It never seems to dream, regardless of

:36:37. > :36:40.how often they use it. Wes Morgan came out time and time again to

:36:41. > :36:43.score momentous goals. Less a captain in a field marshal,

:36:44. > :36:48.Leicester were heading through. It was happening again. But beware,

:36:49. > :36:52.this was Sevilla. Third in the lead, one goal would change at all. That

:36:53. > :36:56.is how narrow Leicester's lead was. You could forgive the nerves, these

:36:57. > :37:00.fans have seen their heroes become mortals. Losing the manager in the

:37:01. > :37:04.process. Recently something has stirred. Albrighton took aim then

:37:05. > :37:12.took off. Who could stay calm in this? Not Nasri. This was his last

:37:13. > :37:18.touch of the night, a red card, Sevilla down to ten. Pivotal,

:37:19. > :37:19.Schmeichel incredible. But with Leicester city perhaps we should

:37:20. > :37:28.expect that. We have to be delighted with the

:37:29. > :37:32.performance, and knocking Sevilla out tonight. Because their record in

:37:33. > :37:36.Europe is there for everyone to see. But we are in there on merit, make

:37:37. > :37:41.no mistake about that. And we might just be the surprise team, but we

:37:42. > :37:43.know that the quality of teams in that is getting down to the real

:37:44. > :37:44.serious business now. There is an enticing second-leg tie

:37:45. > :37:46.for Manchester City tonight. They scored three times in 11

:37:47. > :37:49.minutes, to beat Monaco 5-3, and manager Pep Guardiola says

:37:50. > :38:02.they will be on the hunt Take the ball and attack as much as

:38:03. > :38:07.possible, is the only way I know to beat this kind of team. So that's

:38:08. > :38:11.why, when one team scores 124 goals, if you are thinking about just

:38:12. > :38:14.defending 90 minutes because we won once, 5-3, you kill yourself.

:38:15. > :38:16.Some encouraging news for Tottenham fans this morning.

:38:17. > :38:19.Harry Kane has damaged ankle ligaments, but it is not as serious

:38:20. > :38:24.The England striker was injured early in the FA Cup quarter-final

:38:25. > :38:27.victory against Millwall on Sunday, but he could be fit for the Wembley

:38:28. > :38:28.semi-final against Chelsea next month.

:38:29. > :38:30.The Football Association have charged Manchester United

:38:31. > :38:33.with failing to control their players during Monday's FA Cup

:38:34. > :38:37.It follows the United players' reaction when Ander Herrera was sent

:38:38. > :38:51.Nicky Henderson has become the most successful trainer

:38:52. > :38:55.Jockey Noel Fehily was on board Buveur D'Air, winning by 4.5 lengths

:38:56. > :38:58.from My Tent Or Yours on the first day of the festival,

:38:59. > :39:06.The Sports Minister, Tracey Crouch, says the decision

:39:07. > :39:10.by Muirfield Golf Club to admit women as members for the first time

:39:11. > :39:14.The sport's governing body, the R, confirmed that Muirfield would now

:39:15. > :39:16.be eligible to host an Open Championship again,

:39:17. > :39:26.Over 80% of members voted in favour of the change.

:39:27. > :39:33.I love that, Tracey Crouch saying it has been a long time coming. It has

:39:34. > :39:40.been since the club was founded in 1744. That is a long time coming! It

:39:41. > :39:42.is a bit of an understatement. It is a great golf course, good to see it

:39:43. > :39:44.back in. 16 million people, including

:39:45. > :39:46.hundreds of thousands of children, are on the brink of

:39:47. > :39:49.starvation in East Africa. The 13 UK aid agencies which make up

:39:50. > :39:55.the Disasters Emergency Committee have launched an urgent appeal

:39:56. > :39:58.to help those caught up in what has been described as the worst famine

:39:59. > :40:01.in a generation in the region. Saleh Saeed is DEC's chief

:40:02. > :40:14.executive, and we can speak Thank you for talking to us about

:40:15. > :40:17.this this morning. Louise just mentioned that the worst famine we

:40:18. > :40:21.have seen for an awfully long time. Over the weekend the UN said it was

:40:22. > :40:26.the worst crisis in 60 years. Does that reflect what you are seeing on

:40:27. > :40:31.the ground in those countries? Yes, absolutely. It really is a race

:40:32. > :40:36.against time. As you have mentioned, 16 million people facing starvation,

:40:37. > :40:40.and sadly 800,000 people under the age of five will die of hunger if we

:40:41. > :40:44.don't reach them very quickly. East Africa has seen terrible conflict

:40:45. > :40:50.and also drought, it hasn't rained for over three years. And we are

:40:51. > :40:56.seeing children, women, elderly, all slowly dying a death. Of starvation,

:40:57. > :41:01.we would urge people to support the DEC, the Disasters Emergency

:41:02. > :41:07.Committee, which reunites the 13 leading aid organisations, such as

:41:08. > :41:11.Oxfam and the Red Cross. We are supplying water, food and nutrition

:41:12. > :41:14.to hungry babies in order to try and save and protect their lives. The

:41:15. > :41:18.countries we are particularly looking at here are South Sudan,

:41:19. > :41:22.Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia. I don't want you to get too graphic about

:41:23. > :41:26.this because of the time of the morning, but what sorts of examples

:41:27. > :41:30.can you give us of things on the ground that are happening in those

:41:31. > :41:33.countries? Sure, well, we are hearing stories of people having to

:41:34. > :41:39.resort to eating leaves, because there is absolutely nothing to eat.

:41:40. > :41:43.And we have seen before the horrific images of children who are barely

:41:44. > :41:47.just skin and bones. This is the effect of famine, and that is why we

:41:48. > :41:51.need to respond quickly. There really isn't time to delay. We all

:41:52. > :42:00.have to respond urgently. We would ask people to go to our website, and

:42:01. > :42:04.only ?5 will provide one child with a miracle nut paste, which is very

:42:05. > :42:08.nutritious and will bring back one child from the brink of death. We

:42:09. > :42:12.ask people to please act and not delay, in any way they can. How much

:42:13. > :42:16.money will actually make a difference here? Some figures I have

:42:17. > :42:20.seen quoted are vast, into the billions and billions of pounds. I

:42:21. > :42:23.think it is important not to get lost in the figures. We are talking

:42:24. > :42:29.about lots of money, the UN has quoted ?3.5 billion needed before

:42:30. > :42:33.July in order to avert catastrophe, but really every small amount

:42:34. > :42:37.counts. As I have mentioned, ?25 will actually save the life of a

:42:38. > :42:41.child. So it is not really about raising billions and billions, it is

:42:42. > :42:45.about reaching as many people as quickly as possible. And that is why

:42:46. > :42:49.people need to act now and support the DEC. All the best with your

:42:50. > :42:56.campaign. Thank you for coming and talking to us this morning. We will

:42:57. > :42:59.have more on that later. Time for a look at this morning's weather.

:43:00. > :43:05.Carol is at St James is Park, where it could he really warm. -- St

:43:06. > :43:09.James's Park. Highs of 16 or 17 across parts of the Midlands and

:43:10. > :43:13.East Wales, but spring has sprung. Look at this. A beautiful cherry

:43:14. > :43:18.blossom, what a lovely scene. More cloud in the sky this morning and if

:43:19. > :43:22.you are hanging around it is a chilly start as well. St James, of

:43:23. > :43:26.course, St James's Park, is the oldest of the eight Royal Parks. The

:43:27. > :43:30.forecast for today is actually not too bad at all. It is going to be

:43:31. > :43:34.mostly dry, and it will be mild, as Lou Rutley said. This morning there

:43:35. > :43:41.is quite a lot of cloud around, and some murky conditions -- rightly

:43:42. > :43:45.said. Here we are looking at some drizzle, but through the day you

:43:46. > :43:48.will notice the cloud will start to break, especially in some central

:43:49. > :43:53.and eastern areas, and the sun will come out. It is not as windy day

:43:54. > :43:56.across Scotland as it was yesterday but it is still going to be windy,

:43:57. > :43:59.especially across the Northern Isles. There will be some patchy

:44:00. > :44:03.rain coming in across the north-west. As we push into northern

:44:04. > :44:06.England, it is the far north of northern England and the north-west

:44:07. > :44:09.seeing a bit more cloud. To the east, in the shelter of the

:44:10. > :44:12.Pennines, we should see some of that rake up through Yorkshire and

:44:13. > :44:15.Lincolnshire to give us some sunshine. For East Anglia, Essex and

:44:16. > :44:19.Kent, variable amounts of cloud, some bright spells and some

:44:20. > :44:23.sunshine. The Midlands will have sunshine, 16 or 17, maybe a little

:44:24. > :44:27.higher. Along the south Coast, brighter, sunny skies. We get to the

:44:28. > :44:31.south-west and here on the coast there is one or two showers in the

:44:32. > :44:35.afternoon. Not many but also a little bit of coastal murkiness. The

:44:36. > :44:39.South and west coast seeing some patchy mist and fog. East Wales

:44:40. > :44:44.getting away with a fine day, highs of 16 or 17. For Northern Ireland,

:44:45. > :44:48.patchy rain first thing this morning but it will brighten up. We should

:44:52. > :44:56.there. Through the evening and overnight we hang onto a lot of

:44:57. > :45:00.cloud and murkiness in the west, but at the same time we also have some

:45:01. > :45:04.sea fog, some hill fog, and some low cloud coming into the eastern side

:45:05. > :45:07.of the in the channel, and across parts of the south-east of England,

:45:08. > :45:11.eastern England and Central parts of England as well. Tomorrow that will

:45:12. > :45:15.clear, allowing much of England and Wales are dry and bright start to

:45:16. > :45:18.the day with some sunshine. We have a weather front coming in across

:45:19. > :45:21.Northern Ireland and Scotland, which will introduce some rain. That will

:45:22. > :45:24.get into northern England and north Wales by the time to get the

:45:25. > :45:28.mid-afternoon. Behind that we will see some sunshine and showers, some

:45:29. > :45:31.wintry in the hills, and the wind strengthening again across the far

:45:32. > :45:36.north of Scotland, but not as strong as they were yesterday. Then, as we

:45:37. > :45:39.head on into Friday, well, we do have some rain coming our way. Now,

:45:40. > :45:44.this is what is left of storm Stella, which has been affecting the

:45:45. > :45:49.North States of America. It has been modified by the Atlantic, splitting

:45:50. > :45:55.into Mac and it is not falling as cold air on our shores -- splitting

:45:56. > :45:58.in two. It will have down into the south-east, and the second batch

:45:59. > :46:05.comes in overnight, nothing like they have had in the United States.

:46:06. > :46:09.We will show you some more pictures from Storm Stella in America later

:46:10. > :46:10.on in the programme. Driverless vehicles are already

:46:11. > :46:14.on the road in America and Asia - and they're poised to take

:46:15. > :46:16.to the streets here too. But a new report from the Lord's

:46:17. > :46:30.Science and Technology Committee Good morning to you both. Lots of

:46:31. > :46:31.people analysing what this could mean for the UK rose. Good morning

:46:32. > :46:33.everybody. There is a lot of opportunity

:46:34. > :46:37.for Britain when it comes to driverless vehicles -

:46:38. > :46:54.but the House of Lords report has The report also suggested there is

:46:55. > :46:59.too much focus on the private driverless clouds and not enough on

:47:00. > :47:11.things such as the public transport commercial vehicle opportunities. --

:47:12. > :47:16.driverless cars. Can you just explain to me what we mean by

:47:17. > :47:22.driverless cars? This is next hour, isn't it? I think that is a valid

:47:23. > :47:26.point, that there are levels of automation already out there. We can

:47:27. > :47:31.buy vehicles right now that can park themselves. But within autonomy,

:47:32. > :47:35.there are different levels. So the ultimate aim is to have a vehicle

:47:36. > :47:39.that does not have the steering wheel, potentially, or does not have

:47:40. > :47:43.the need for you to be sitting on a driving. What we are looking to

:47:44. > :47:46.right now is where you can be in a situation where you are not fully

:47:47. > :47:50.driving, but ready to take control. It is about understanding the steps

:47:51. > :47:53.that are needed to get to all the points that you raise, to get to

:47:54. > :47:57.where we understand what is absolutely safe. And that goes back

:47:58. > :48:01.to testing. Think they came out in the report as well. The need for

:48:02. > :48:05.testing on real roads and in real environments to make sure that we

:48:06. > :48:09.fully understand this they take this it -- this fantastic technology and

:48:10. > :48:13.how will work in the real world. That is key. As we said at the

:48:14. > :48:16.beginning of this, this is something where the technologies are ready out

:48:17. > :48:19.there and happening in other countries. When are we likely to see

:48:20. > :48:23.it here, and in what form? Because it probably won't be a driverless

:48:24. > :48:27.cars at is the first thing we see, but it could be perhaps driverless

:48:28. > :48:30.lorries, and other vehicles. Tell us about that. The timeline is a big

:48:31. > :48:37.question. People say when and I think what we are seeing from the

:48:38. > :48:42.car industry is that 2020 one is where we will see some diplomas.

:48:43. > :48:47.That is not far away. That is just in our present time horizon. --

:48:48. > :48:51.2021. And that is or is getting closer. So it is really important

:48:52. > :48:56.that this report came out. -- we will see some deployments. There is

:48:57. > :49:04.a lot of testing under way at the moment. Atkins is doing plenty on

:49:05. > :49:08.this, as are other organisations, on how all these bits will work

:49:09. > :49:12.together, what is the value of it and so on. That is really important,

:49:13. > :49:15.as well. It is not just about technology, but about the

:49:16. > :49:19.individuals, and do they feel comfortable, and what do they want?

:49:20. > :49:24.And can we get to that magnificent safety case of reducing the 90% of

:49:25. > :49:27.accidents that are caused by human error and getting to a situation

:49:28. > :49:34.where we don't have that awful statistic. So if we get this test

:49:35. > :49:39.and we get to a point where we feel like it is safe, how will it be of

:49:40. > :49:43.limited? Will be guessed at to see a few of them on the roads? I think

:49:44. > :49:47.what you will get is a blend. One mean is that you will have different

:49:48. > :49:52.technologies are different levels of maturity. We need to make sure that

:49:53. > :49:57.we couple in what has been deployed. I think that private cars are going

:49:58. > :50:00.to have a level of autonomy. There will be different levels across

:50:01. > :50:04.different modes of transport. And a big it is important to take a step

:50:05. > :50:07.back a little bit and say that driverless cars it is one part of

:50:08. > :50:17.the jigsaw. And that jigsaw is basically about getting from A to B

:50:18. > :50:21.as it comfortable as possible. People consume transport over many

:50:22. > :50:29.modes. From our sites, and from the work that we do at Atkins, it is

:50:30. > :50:32.exciting. To be at the forefront of that gets us out of bed in the

:50:33. > :50:38.morning. Is that mixture of excitement. Yes. Fear but also

:50:51. > :50:55.ceilings meant Knole House in Kent was in desperate need

:50:56. > :50:57.of some serious TLC. So it became the focus

:50:58. > :51:00.of the biggest restoration project the National Trust

:51:01. > :51:01.has ever undertaken. Let's find out more

:51:02. > :51:20.from John Maguire who's Good morning to both of you. The dry

:51:21. > :51:24.ice machine has given this atmospheric look. The mist has

:51:25. > :51:28.descended on Knole House. There are a lot of gear here. We might show

:51:29. > :51:32.you some of those later on when the mist clears up. At the moment you

:51:49. > :51:53.place that over the years has really struggled to maintain its present

:51:54. > :52:04.body. This is DIY SOS. With almost six entries of history,

:52:15. > :52:22.century by Thomas Atwood and decorated from classman. But it is

:52:23. > :52:26.showing its age. I think we have been overwhelmed by the scalable we

:52:27. > :52:30.have here. We have seven acres of route. They just keeping on top of

:52:31. > :52:34.the maintenance of the building is an enormous task. And because the

:52:35. > :52:36.building is sold, we got to a point where, actually, we needed to do

:52:37. > :52:41.something, and major intervention, like a project that we are working

:52:42. > :52:46.on now. Really just to secure the house's future. This is the biggest

:52:47. > :52:50.restoration in the National Trust's history, or conducted under the

:52:51. > :52:55.watchful gaze of the Sackville family. Powerful and interglacial in

:52:56. > :52:59.the 17th-century Royal court, their descendants live here to this day, a

:53:00. > :53:05.living link to the past. The industry here is staggering. So

:53:06. > :53:08.state-of-the-art conservation studio will, with painstaking patience,

:53:09. > :53:20.work to protect the building and its contents. This is the famous Knole

:53:26. > :53:31.will be to carefully and slowly remove the dust as if we can get the

:53:32. > :53:34.grey gone and the colour back. You overlap the previous bid to ensure

:53:35. > :53:38.there are no holes. And then you just keep the system going, really.

:53:39. > :53:41.The Conservatives employ the same skills and techniques that have

:53:42. > :53:47.embellished Knole for hundreds of years. I suppose the whole point of

:54:15. > :54:23.damage caused by woodworm. The team has to preserve the ornate and in

:54:24. > :54:25.outlet -- elaborate of Knole House, not just to preserve the house, but

:54:26. > :54:34.also those who come here to visit. Despite the credible history of the

:54:35. > :54:39.place, there is plenty of me and technology being employed here. --

:54:52. > :54:56.And talking to those conservators earlier, they were telling me the

:54:57. > :55:00.incredible length they go to. So there is furniture that looks as if

:55:01. > :55:06.it is to be re- upholstered, they will not. They will try to preserve

:55:07. > :55:10.it, can serve it, so if there is a frame that was posted, but at a

:55:11. > :55:14.paltry has disappeared, they will replace it with as close to original

:55:15. > :55:19.materials as possible. They will even use the exact same holes as the

:55:20. > :55:23.first pulse as would have used on that historic furniture so long ago.

:55:24. > :55:29.As I say, the conservation studio here at Knole House opens tomorrow.

:55:30. > :55:33.It is worth a look. It is absolutely fascinating. Painstaking work. Thank

:02:08. > :02:11.The United Nations says the crisis in the four affected countries,

:02:24. > :02:26.The Disasters Emergency Committee says drought and conflict has left

:02:27. > :02:28.millions in East Africa in immediate need of food,

:02:29. > :02:39.Across South Sudan, Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia, it says 60

:02:40. > :02:42.million people don't know when they are next going to eat.

:02:43. > :02:44.More than 800,000 children are severely malnourished,

:02:51. > :02:53.are already on the ground, delivering clean drinking water

:02:54. > :03:00.But they are now appealing to the public for funds,

:03:01. > :03:06.so they can do even more to help these people.

:03:07. > :03:14.It really is a race against time. As you have mentioned, 16 million

:03:15. > :03:18.people facing starvation and sadly 800,000 children under the age of

:03:19. > :03:22.five will die of hunger if we don't reach them very, very quickly. East

:03:23. > :03:26.Africa has seen terrible conflict, and also drought. It hasn't rained

:03:27. > :03:28.for over three years, and we are seeing children, women, elderly, all

:03:29. > :03:29.slowly dying. The Government has already promised

:03:30. > :03:32.?200 million in emergency aid for South Sudan and Somalia,

:03:33. > :03:35.and the International Development Secretary, Priti Patel,

:03:36. > :03:37.said her department would match the first ?5 million donated

:03:38. > :03:47.by the public in the new appeal. She also urged other countries

:03:48. > :03:49.to follow Britain's lead, before the crisis became

:03:50. > :03:51.what she called a stain The world, she said,

:03:52. > :04:01.cannot afford to wait. A rare glimpse into President

:04:02. > :04:03.Trump's private finances has emerged, with the leak

:04:04. > :04:06.of his 2005 tax return. Mr Trump refused to make

:04:07. > :04:08.the documents public during his election campaign,

:04:09. > :04:11.but the US TV network MSNBC has now It reveals that Mr Trump

:04:12. > :04:16.paid $38 million in tax, on an income of more

:04:17. > :04:22.than $150 million. In terms of what's on here,

:04:23. > :04:26.let me give you the basics. Aside from the numbers being large,

:04:27. > :04:29.these pages are straightforward. He paid - it looks like

:04:30. > :04:32.$38 million in taxes. He took a big write-down of $103

:04:33. > :04:39.million, more on that later. If you add up the lines for income,

:04:40. > :04:43.he made more than $150 million And that means congratulations, or

:09:30. > :09:35.close eye on what happens in the Netherlands. Yes, this is being seen

:09:36. > :09:38.as the first real test of the populace is' ability to challenge

:09:39. > :09:46.those establishment parties since Brexit and before the votes in front

:09:47. > :09:50.and Germany. We are here in The Hague, where Geert Wilders, leader

:09:51. > :09:54.of the freedom party, is expected to be casting his vote in 45 minutes'

:09:55. > :09:59.time. We have been covering this, but you might forget there are

:10:00. > :10:02.actually a record 28 parties competing in these elections. So

:10:03. > :10:08.many parties in this democracy, reports this paper. In the

:10:09. > :10:13.Telegraph, they say the Labour Party must fight fear, this is a campaign

:10:14. > :10:17.which has been dominated by questions of immigration,

:10:18. > :10:23.integration, the Dutch identity. And then finally, the front page of this

:10:24. > :10:27.newspaper, go and vote it says, projecting six front pages they the

:10:28. > :10:32.six main party leaders. Even though Geert Wilders may not make up the

:10:33. > :10:35.government, other parties have said they refused to work with him

:10:36. > :10:40.because of his very extreme views. He has succeeded already in shaping

:10:41. > :10:45.the whole nature of this debate, to focus on those kinds of issues, of

:10:46. > :10:51.immigration, Islam, and the future of the EU. Thank you very much for

:10:52. > :10:55.that this morning. We will have plenty more on that over the course

:10:56. > :10:58.of the day. You can follow that on the BBC News Channel. You have

:10:59. > :11:00.probably seen this at some stage. It is the news interview that

:11:01. > :11:03.everyone has been talking about. Last week, Professor Robert Kelly's

:11:04. > :11:06.family became an internet sensation when his children crashed his

:11:07. > :11:08.appearance on BBC News. Well, they agreed to come

:11:09. > :11:11.back on the BBC to talk Our correspondent

:11:12. > :11:14.Sangita Myska has more. Professor Robert Kelly,

:11:15. > :11:16.an expert on South Korea, offering expert analysis

:11:17. > :11:18.of global events. But it was the unexpected

:11:19. > :11:22.entrance of his daughter, Marion, who was to create

:11:23. > :11:28.a global event of its own. I think one of your

:11:29. > :11:30.children's just walked in. To avoid being upstaged,

:11:31. > :11:33.the Professor tried a gentle push. Only for Marion's brother

:11:34. > :11:38.to enter on wheels. Was he hoping that, just perhaps,

:11:39. > :11:52.no-one had noticed after all? A perfectly timed slam of the door

:11:53. > :12:01.ensured this video went viral. Professor Kelly and his family

:12:02. > :12:04.were invited back onto live BBC television, only for Marion to once

:12:05. > :12:09.again steal the limelight. So, in spite of it all,

:12:10. > :12:22.did they find it as funny as we did? And we watched it multiple times,

:12:23. > :12:31.too, and our families have watched and everybody we know seems to think

:12:32. > :12:36.it's pretty hysterical. So yeah, we understand why

:12:37. > :12:38.people find it enjoyable, catching a regular family

:12:39. > :12:41.off-guard, and stuff, so yes. Just a regular family,

:12:42. > :12:44.whose off-guard moments have become So good, that video. And they are in

:12:45. > :12:56.high demand as well. This morning the family gave a press

:12:57. > :12:59.conference in South Korea, and Marion looked like

:13:00. > :13:09.she was right at home. This time with a lollipop in her

:13:10. > :13:10.mouth throughout the entire press conference.

:13:11. > :13:13.A Royal Marine who shot and killed an injured Taliban fighter

:13:14. > :13:16.in Afghanistan is expected to find out today whether his appeal

:13:17. > :13:18.against a murder conviction has been successful.

:13:19. > :13:21.Sergeant Alexander Blackman was serving in Helmand Province in 2011.

:13:22. > :13:29.The incident was filmed on a body camera.

:13:30. > :13:32.In November 2013, he was found guilty of murder, and later

:13:33. > :13:35.sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum of ten years.

:13:36. > :13:40.However, an appeal was granted after new psychiatric evidence found

:13:41. > :13:43.that, at the time of the killing, Sergeant Blackman was suffering

:13:44. > :13:52.from a mental illness triggered by his experience in Helmand.

:13:53. > :13:55.Today, five judges at the Court Martial Appeal Court

:13:56. > :13:57.in London will decide whether to overturn that

:13:58. > :14:06.We can speak now to military defence lawyer Bob Scott.

:14:07. > :14:14.Good morning to you. Thank you very much indeed for joining us. Good

:14:15. > :14:17.morning. Let's talk about this new psychiatric evidence. It had not

:14:18. > :14:21.been looked at in the original trial. Do you think that could be

:14:22. > :14:27.the key difference here? Yes, indeed. It could allow the defence

:14:28. > :14:33.to suggest that the defendant was not operating in his normal mind,

:14:34. > :14:38.because of the pressure of the activities at the time. OK, just

:14:39. > :14:42.tell us a little bit about the disorder itself. It is called

:14:43. > :14:46.adjustment disorder. What do you know about it and how might it make

:14:47. > :14:49.a difference? It may make a difference because it would suggest

:14:50. > :14:53.that he couldn't make normal, rational judgements, that normal

:14:54. > :15:00.people would expect someone to make. OK. So now, he is going to hear his

:15:01. > :15:04.appeal. How important is it that people are able to use and look at

:15:05. > :15:09.whether or not someone is suffering from a mental illness at the time of

:15:10. > :15:12.an incident? Well, it is very important, because it makes the

:15:13. > :15:17.difference between a conviction for murder, or indeed, a conviction for

:15:18. > :15:24.manslaughter, for which the sentence can be quite different. OK. And why

:15:25. > :15:29.would it not have been used in the first trial? Well, that principally

:15:30. > :15:33.is a decision for the prosecution, to decide whether or not to put

:15:34. > :15:39.manslaughter on the indictment as an alternative. But it could be raised,

:15:40. > :15:44.indeed, by the board, which in a court martial is the equivalent of a

:15:45. > :15:50.jury, who might decide that they are not content that a murder conviction

:15:51. > :15:55.is upheld. They might wish to convicted for manslaughter, and will

:15:56. > :16:01.ask the judge for directions in that case. And let's just talk in general

:16:02. > :16:04.terms, if we could, how common is it that mental health conditions are

:16:05. > :16:12.involved in similar cases with regard to service personnel? In

:16:13. > :16:22.relation to a variety of military cases, there is an upsurge, if you

:16:23. > :16:29.will, of cases of PTSD stemming from active service, which is used as a

:16:30. > :16:35.potential defence for a lot of military personnel facing various

:16:36. > :16:40.charges. That is to be expected. OK, you talk about this upsurge. Are the

:16:41. > :16:45.implications, whichever way it goes, this today, are the implications for

:16:46. > :16:54.future military cases? Well, each case is judged on its own merits,

:16:55. > :16:57.but clearly defence practitioners, and indeed prosecutors, will

:16:58. > :17:04.consider such matters, I would have thought, with a greater attention to

:17:05. > :17:06.detail, in terms of that possible defence. Thank you very much for

:17:07. > :17:12.talking to us here on Breakfast. It's 7:17 and you're watching

:17:13. > :17:14.Breakfast from BBC News. UK aid agencies launch

:17:15. > :17:17.a fundraising appeal, to help millions of people facing

:17:26. > :17:55.at this morning's weather. Here is Ainsley Harriot. Carol once

:17:56. > :17:59.again won an award yesterday. Her ninth TRIC Award for Best Weather

:18:00. > :18:05.Presenter. She is one of six years in a row. We always known she is the

:18:06. > :18:09.best, but it is official again. Official nine times, now!

:18:10. > :18:15.Congratulations to you. We are excited for you. Thank you so much.

:18:16. > :18:19.And congratulations to you too. And everybody behind the scenes. Because

:18:20. > :18:24.of course, we are a huge team, and we also push each other and make

:18:25. > :18:28.each other as good as we are. So it is very much a joint award. And

:18:29. > :18:36.thank you to the TRIC Award is for that. Anyway, this morning suggest

:18:37. > :18:40.as part -- at St James's Park, it has been a cloudy start. But look at

:18:41. > :18:44.the cherry blossoms. And the ducks. St James's Park is the oldest of the

:18:45. > :18:49.eight Royal parks in the capital. The forecast for all of us today is

:18:50. > :18:53.generally a cloudy one. It is a murky stuff is on us, but it will

:18:54. > :18:57.brighten up. But the most, it will be dry and also mild. The highest

:18:58. > :19:03.averages today are likely to be across is Wales and the Midlands,

:19:04. > :19:07.reaching 16, 17, or higher. So today, generally, where we have all

:19:08. > :19:10.that cloud in the central and eastern parts of the country, you

:19:11. > :19:16.will start to notice wells developed. We'll start this is

:19:17. > :19:20.shunned coming through. -- stunt Bell sunshine coming through. The

:19:21. > :19:25.murky conditions will hold on across south-west England and Wales on the

:19:26. > :19:29.coast. Scotland, not as Windies yesterday, but later, the wind will

:19:30. > :19:33.pick up and we will start this season patchy rain north-west. As we

:19:34. > :19:37.move into north-west England and the far northern England, here, too, a

:19:38. > :19:40.cloudy start. But it through the Pennines in the east, down towards

:19:41. > :19:46.Kent, we are looking at some sunny spells. The Midlands will brighten

:19:47. > :19:49.up nicely with some sunshine. And high temperatures. As we get to the

:19:50. > :19:53.south-west, we are looking again at a fairly cloudy start, but some

:19:54. > :19:58.bright spells. One or two showers across the coast. Wales will hold

:19:59. > :20:01.onto is a murky conditions. A better cloud at times, too, that is Wales

:20:02. > :20:06.will have a different story. For them, sunshine and 16 or 17 degrees

:20:07. > :20:11.as a high. Patchy rain across Northern Ireland this morning, but

:20:12. > :20:15.it will brighten up and dry up. Some cloud around later. Through this

:20:16. > :20:19.evening at overnight, where we have clearer skies, you will tend to find

:20:20. > :20:23.the cloud will build. Still murky across the north and north-west. And

:20:24. > :20:30.then we have some sea fog, hill fog, and low fog across the English

:20:31. > :20:33.Channel and into the south-east, Midlands, and some parts of eastern

:20:34. > :20:37.England. That will tend to fade this morning. Then it will be a lovely

:20:38. > :20:40.bright start across much of England and Wales. Through Scotland and

:20:41. > :20:43.Northern Ireland, the weather front coming your way is producing

:20:44. > :20:48.southwards, taking its rain with it. Get into northern England and north

:20:49. > :20:53.Wales by mid-afternoon. Line-out, we see sunshine and showers. Wintry on

:20:54. > :20:56.the hills. Possibly sleet at lower levels. The wind will strengthen

:20:57. > :21:01.again across the Northern Isles. Not as much as yesterday. Until Friday,

:21:02. > :21:06.we have rain coming our way. This is what is left of Storm Stella. That

:21:07. > :21:10.has been affecting the naughty states of America. As that comes

:21:11. > :21:18.across the Atlantic in a jetstream, it will modify it, and will not fall

:21:19. > :21:21.into cold air like it did in the states. It will come to us as rain,

:21:22. > :21:27.coming in and pushing down to the south-east. A second oath that on

:21:28. > :21:28.Friday the same thing. That will lead to an unsettled weekend. That

:21:29. > :21:51.make a -- that will make a second. Let me tell you what is going on in

:21:52. > :21:59.the business world. Lots of results coming in this morning.

:22:00. > :22:02.EON, the owner of fast fashion chain Zara

:22:03. > :22:08.has results out, and they're pretty good again.

:22:09. > :22:11.Sales at Inditex jumped last year to ?20 billion globally,

:22:12. > :22:14.helped by new store openings in 56 countries and online growth.

:22:15. > :22:16.The fastest growing sector of the business, though,

:22:17. > :22:18.was the chain's homeware department, Zara Home.

:22:19. > :22:25.The firm says it is because of an increasing gust associated with

:22:26. > :22:28.delivering UK energy policy and other expenses. The firm says these

:22:29. > :22:35.are out of its control. We have also got results in from Zara. Their

:22:36. > :22:41.results are out and say they are pretty good again. Sales jumped last

:22:42. > :22:45.year to ?20 billion globally. This was helped by new store openings and

:22:46. > :22:56.56 countries and online growth as well. It is the fastest-growing

:22:57. > :23:05.sector of the business. Zara Home sought growth of 15%. Two different

:23:06. > :23:15.stories, one from Zara and one from EON. And jigsaws and so milk of

:23:16. > :23:19.being includes included in the --. -- gunners will look at 700 goods

:23:20. > :23:22.and services that we readily buy to try and work out the inflation

:23:23. > :23:29.figures. So falling out of the basket this time are alcopops,

:23:30. > :23:32.mental cigarettes, and non- smartphone mobiles. It is

:23:33. > :23:36.interesting to see what goes in and out of that basket. Jigsaws are in

:23:37. > :23:44.because the over 50s enjoy more jigsaws, now. Jese make staying in,

:23:45. > :23:48.drinking gin, and the jigsaws. Not drinking it with soy milk, though.

:23:49. > :23:50.They could go wrong. Good morning to you.

:23:51. > :23:53.How medical staff handle the last few days of a patient's life can

:23:54. > :23:57.A new film detailing the importance of the right approach

:23:58. > :24:01.during that time is being used to help educate staff and better

:24:02. > :24:04.It's based on the experiences of one family.

:24:05. > :24:07.Breakfast's Tim Muffett went to meet them.

:24:08. > :24:10.Seth was 49 years old - he was seemingly fit and well.

:24:11. > :24:16.We'd been away on holiday, and I'd had a chest infection.

:24:17. > :24:19.We came back make a couple weeks then suddenly Seth got

:24:20. > :24:28.We thought he had caught something from me.

:24:29. > :24:31.It was May 2014, and Leslie's husband, Seth, was diagnosed

:24:32. > :24:35.Seth's dying wish was never fulfilled.

:24:36. > :24:40.We felt like it was a constant kind of clinical intervention.

:24:41. > :24:42.Today, we need to look at the pulmonary embolism.

:24:43. > :24:44.Today, we need some intravenous antibiotics.

:24:45. > :24:53.It just felt like no one was really listening to us.

:24:54. > :24:56.Lesley put her frustrations and anger down in writing.

:24:57. > :24:59.Her and Seth's story has now been adapted into a short film,

:25:00. > :25:02.They said "We'll try you on intensive course

:25:03. > :25:06.How could they give you this news when you're on your own?

:25:07. > :25:12.It's got to be as good an experience as it possibly can be.

:25:13. > :25:16.And so I wanted to show with, you know, some compassion

:25:17. > :25:18.and sensitivity, that dilemma that all families find themselves

:25:19. > :25:32.The film's about to be screened here in London.

:25:33. > :25:35.The idea is that it is then used as an educational resource

:25:36. > :25:43.Nobody had a conversation with me, about what I might need,

:25:44. > :25:52.What was your reaction to this film you saw it?

:25:53. > :25:55.-- What was your reaction to this film when you saw it?

:25:56. > :25:59.We need to make sure we are doing this right,

:26:00. > :26:02.and we're doing this better, because we only have one chance

:26:03. > :26:07.I think sometimes people presume that other people have

:26:08. > :26:11.So that other people think that well, I'm sure other people have

:26:12. > :26:14.talked to the family, or explained things to them.

:26:15. > :26:17.In 2009, the Department of Health funded the Dying Matters coalition,

:26:18. > :26:20.established across England and Wales to improve and of life care.

:26:21. > :26:23.Its mission is to help people talk more openly about death.

:26:24. > :26:26.But many accept that more can be done, and Seth's story could help.

:26:27. > :26:30.People understanding what it meant to them.

:26:31. > :26:33.How those last few days made - were so important, and how,

:26:34. > :26:37.with a little bit of thought, we may have been to do something

:26:38. > :26:42.It should be like a birth - special and precious,

:26:43. > :26:44.with good memories, to sustain those left behind.

:26:45. > :26:48.Seth asked me to show the story because he was a very

:26:49. > :26:50.Actually, I'm doing that in partnership with Seth,

:26:51. > :27:05.so we're doing that together, even though Seth isn't here.

:27:06. > :27:15.I know lots of you are talking in sending messages to macro me. --

:27:46. > :27:54.There has been a house here for about 600 years. It was famously

:27:55. > :27:57.haunted by Henry VIII. It was a palace for the Archbishop of

:27:58. > :28:02.Canterbury. The years have not been kind to the building. It has

:28:03. > :28:06.struggled, as have many of its contents. A massive conservation and

:34:32. > :34:38.you just stepped on my foot! Does not much space here. I know, it is

:34:39. > :34:44.fine! I didn't mean to extend sideways. Good morning. Talking

:34:45. > :34:51.about Leicester city, and that remarkable night. What a night. But

:34:52. > :34:57.at that picture. Kasper Schmeichel saving another penalty, and it is so

:34:58. > :35:01.funny how quickly the woes of the last few weeks can be forgotten,

:35:02. > :35:04.aiming for three back-to-back wins in the Premier league to lift them

:35:05. > :35:12.further from relegation zone. You will remember that just as Ranieri

:35:13. > :35:15.was fired the team dropped into the relegation zone of the Premier

:35:16. > :35:18.league. Now they are into the quarterfinals of the Champions

:35:19. > :35:26.League and the stands were rocking and singing and chanting. It was

:35:27. > :35:31.like last season all over again. It raises questions about where that

:35:32. > :35:36.effort was when Ranieri was there. Is a close the new manager is doing

:35:37. > :35:41.an amazing job or did the players want Ranieri out? It would be good

:35:42. > :35:43.to set them all down and say come on, guys, tell us the truth.

:35:44. > :35:46.Leicester City have joined Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the quarter

:35:47. > :35:48.finals of the Champions League, after beating Sevilla 2-0

:35:49. > :35:52.on the night, going through 3-2 on aggregate, on one of the greatest

:35:53. > :35:57.For Leicester city, the power of surprise is a renewable energy.

:35:58. > :36:00.It never seems to drain, regardless of how often they use it.

:36:01. > :36:02.Wes Morgan came out, time and time again,

:36:03. > :36:05.to score momentous goals, less a captain than a field marshal.

:36:06. > :36:11.But beware, this was Sevilla, third in the League.

:36:12. > :36:14.That is how narrow Leicester's lead was.

:36:15. > :36:19.These fans have seen their heroes become mortals, losing the manager

:36:20. > :36:26.Marc Albrighton took aim, then took off.

:36:27. > :36:34.This was his last touch of the night, a red card,

:36:35. > :36:49.But, with Leicester City, perhaps we should expect that.

:36:50. > :36:51.We have to be delighted with the performance,

:36:52. > :36:54.and knocking Sevilla out tonight, because their record in Europe

:36:55. > :36:59.But we are in there on merit, make no mistake about that.

:37:00. > :37:03.And we might just be the surprise team, but we know that the quality

:37:04. > :37:12.of teams in there is getting down to the real serious business now.

:37:13. > :37:15.There is an enticing second-leg tie for Manchester City tonight.

:37:16. > :37:18.They scored three times in 11 minutes, to beat Monaco 5-3,

:37:19. > :37:21.and manager Pep Guardiola says they will be on the hunt

:37:22. > :37:27.Take the ball, and attack as much as possible,

:37:28. > :37:31.is the only way I know to beat this kind of team.

:37:32. > :37:33.So that's why, when one team scores 124 goals,

:37:34. > :37:36.if you are thinking about just defending 90 minutes because we won

:37:37. > :37:44.Some encouraging news for Tottenham fans this morning.

:37:45. > :37:47.Harry Kane has damaged ankle ligaments, but it is not as serious

:37:48. > :37:56.The England striker was injured early in the FA Cup quarter-final

:37:57. > :38:00.victory against Millwall on Sunday, but he could be fit for the Wembley

:38:01. > :38:01.semi-final against Chelsea next month.

:38:02. > :38:03.The Football Association have charged Manchester United

:38:04. > :38:06.with failing to control their players, when Ander Herrera

:38:07. > :38:08.was sent off during Monday's FA Cup quarter-final at Chelsea.

:38:09. > :38:11.United didn't get back to Manchester until 4:00am after that match,

:38:12. > :38:14.because their plane never turned up at Heathrow,

:38:15. > :38:21.so they had to get on the team coach all the way home.

:38:22. > :38:23.The Sports Minister, Tracey Crouch, says the decision

:38:24. > :38:27.by Muirfield Golf Club to admit women as members for the first time

:38:28. > :38:32.The sport's governing body, the R, confirmed that Muirfield would now

:38:33. > :38:34.be eligible to host an Open Championship again,

:38:35. > :38:43.Over 80% of members voted in favour of the change.

:38:44. > :38:48.Again, a bit of a controversial vote. We were talking about whether

:38:49. > :38:53.the Leicester players downed tools or whether they were rejuvenated

:38:54. > :39:02.under Craig Shakespeare. It is a similar reaction to the Muirfield

:39:03. > :39:04.vote, whether they only voted to accept women so they could be back

:39:05. > :39:05.on the tour. When you write a will,

:39:06. > :39:08.you would expect your wishes But a judgement is expected today

:39:09. > :39:12.at the Supreme Court which experts say could make it easier

:39:13. > :39:15.for adult children to She left all her money

:39:16. > :39:19.to three animal charities, the RSPCA, RSPB and Blue Cross,

:39:20. > :39:22.but explicitly excluded After a long court battle,

:39:23. > :39:25.her daughter, Heather Ilott, successfully challenged

:39:26. > :39:27.the decision, and was awarded But the animal charities that had

:39:28. > :39:32.been due to inherit appealed to the Supreme Court,

:39:33. > :39:34.and that decision is due today. So what does this mean

:39:35. > :39:38.for the rest of us? Let's find out from Marilyn Stowe,

:39:39. > :39:41.who is an independent family lawyer. We are also joined by Don Day,

:39:42. > :39:57.who has chosen to leave his entire We will talk to you in a moment.

:39:58. > :40:01.Good morning to you both. Just explain to us this case. It has gone

:40:02. > :40:06.backwards and forwards in court and this is really taking it right down

:40:07. > :40:10.to the wire, now, isn't it? Ten years, it has been ongoing for ten

:40:11. > :40:15.years. And the inheritance provision for family and dependents act is the

:40:16. > :40:19.relevant law, so it is 40 years old, and this is the first time it has

:40:20. > :40:25.ever got to the Supreme Court. And what happens with that law is that

:40:26. > :40:33.where reasonable financial provision has not been made by a will or by

:40:34. > :40:39.intestacy, to a very small category of people, for example a spouse or

:40:40. > :40:44.partner or child, or somebody who is being maintained as a child, then

:40:45. > :40:48.they can apply to the court for reasonable financial provision. And

:40:49. > :40:54.what has happened with this daughter is, she is entitled to maintenance.

:40:55. > :40:58.And the Supreme Court are going to decide today what that maintenance

:40:59. > :41:05.level should be, how it should be assessed, and what the entitlement

:41:06. > :41:10.to the charity is. Because that is to the lady who died, Mrs Jackson,

:41:11. > :41:14.that is what she actually wanted to happen to her estate, and how the

:41:15. > :41:18.charities should be treated. And it is also going to look at this issue

:41:19. > :41:24.where they are estranged. Does estrangement impact? So there are

:41:25. > :41:29.all sorts of technical areas, but it is the first time it has got to the

:41:30. > :41:33.Supreme Court, so it is really very interesting, and I think a lot of

:41:34. > :41:37.lawyers will be able to give much more informed advice to a client who

:41:38. > :41:41.doesn't want to have a child inherit his or her estate. Let's find out

:41:42. > :41:46.about Don's circumstances. I am sure you be interested in hearing this as

:41:47. > :41:51.well. When did you decide to leave your estate to charity rather than

:41:52. > :41:57.the rest of your well, my wife had been in a care home with Alzheimer's

:41:58. > :42:03.for the last five years, before she died last year. And during one of

:42:04. > :42:09.her more lucid moments, we decided that, because of her mother's

:42:10. > :42:14.involvement with Alzheimer's some 25 years ago that we would like to make

:42:15. > :42:17.a nice gesture to the Alzheimer's Society for their help and

:42:18. > :42:22.assistance, and kindness that they had provided to me and my wife is a

:42:23. > :42:27.family. And we talked with the legacy provider at the Alzheimer

:42:28. > :42:33.Society, who was most helpful in providing all the necessary

:42:34. > :42:38.documentation that was necessary, for us to make sure that our wishes

:42:39. > :42:44.were carried out. This meant, really, that we had to do a signed

:42:45. > :42:49.affidavit about our wishes, as well as our will. I had to go to the

:42:50. > :42:54.doctor and have a certificate from him to say that in fact, while I was

:42:55. > :42:59.making this, I was of sound mind, which I hope I was, and sometimes

:43:00. > :43:03.you doubt whether the professionals are right under these circumstances!

:43:04. > :43:11.But anyway, we did that, and everything seemed to be now geared

:43:12. > :43:17.up for my estate to go to the Alzheimer 's, which I am sure will

:43:18. > :43:22.be of some benefit for them in their research towards conquering or

:43:23. > :43:27.helping to conquer this very dreadful, and indeed, debasing

:43:28. > :43:32.disease that we are having to live with these days. And I will come

:43:33. > :43:36.back to Marilyn about what Don said, and you have clearly gone out of

:43:37. > :43:42.your way to make sure that you will can't be changed, haven't you? I

:43:43. > :43:47.have indeed, yes. I have taken a lot of advice, because I was aware that

:43:48. > :43:51.these things could be challenged, and that there could be deeds of

:43:52. > :43:55.variation, and so on and so forth, and I hope I have covered all the

:43:56. > :44:02.little bits and pieces that were necessary. OK. Marilyn, very

:44:03. > :44:06.interesting to hear that, because presumably, will it all depends what

:44:07. > :44:09.happens in this case? So many people will be writing wills thinking that

:44:10. > :44:14.is what is going to happen, won't they? Not every application is bound

:44:15. > :44:19.to succeed. There was a lady who made an application under the

:44:20. > :44:23.inheritance act last year, as an adult child, and the court found

:44:24. > :44:26.that she didn't need reasonable financial provision, because she

:44:27. > :44:31.already was provided for. So it is not bound to succeed. But what I

:44:32. > :44:37.think should help here is how the court will treat charities. If you

:44:38. > :44:42.want to leave money to a charity, a charity doesn't have needs, and the

:44:43. > :44:46.court, when it makes its decision, has to consider the needs of all the

:44:47. > :44:50.beneficiaries. So how will they treat the charity, how will they

:44:51. > :44:53.treat the person who is coming before it say I am entitled to

:44:54. > :44:59.reasonable financial provision? You can't oust the law, you can do your

:45:00. > :45:04.best, but you can't oust it and you can't prevent that application being

:45:05. > :45:09.made. But what will happen today is clearer guidance, I think, as to how

:45:10. > :45:12.things will go forward from there. Thank you very much indeed for your

:45:13. > :45:16.time. And thanks for all your comments on this as well. We will

:45:17. > :45:20.get them all together and maybe read some of them a little bit later on.

:45:21. > :45:25.There are so many people getting in contact who have either made a will,

:45:26. > :45:27.are thinking about making a will, and how this might affect them as

:45:28. > :45:31.well. It's time to take

:45:32. > :45:33.a look at the weather. Carol's enjoying the sunshine at

:45:34. > :45:40.St James's park for us this morning. Good morning. There is an sunshine

:45:41. > :45:44.here in London this morning after a cloudy start. I am in St James's

:45:45. > :45:48.Park in London. It is the oldest of the eight Royal parks in the

:45:49. > :45:53.capital. And it started life as a watery march and meadow. And then

:45:54. > :46:00.Henry VIII, King Henry VIII, acquired it. He built St James's

:46:01. > :46:03.Palace in it. That is in that direction. But I want to show you

:46:04. > :46:07.this direction. Isn't this stunning? A beautiful cherry blossom. Sun

:46:08. > :46:12.coming out and some nice blue skies. The forecast for the UK as a whole

:46:13. > :46:18.is a rather good one. Mostly dry, if you like it like that. If you don't,

:46:19. > :46:22.rain coming soon. Also mild. We start of this morning was a murky

:46:23. > :46:27.conditions, particularly south of the M4 corridor in towards the

:46:28. > :46:31.south-west. As we go through the day, the cloud will break and there

:46:32. > :46:34.will be some sunshine, especially in central and eastern parts of the UK.

:46:35. > :46:38.In the west, more cloud. Some coastal fog as an patchy light rain

:46:39. > :46:41.and drizzle in the north-west of Scotland. In Scotland, not as windy

:46:42. > :46:46.as yesterday. The wind will strengthen during the day. Gigli in

:46:47. > :46:51.the far north. Away from the patchy rain in the west, we are looking at

:46:52. > :46:57.a largely dry day with bright or sunny skies. -- especially in the

:46:58. > :47:06.far north. Any finals of England and west, windy. Each of the Pennines,

:47:07. > :47:11.some sunshine. The Midlands, a lovely afternoon for them. The

:47:12. > :47:14.temperatures up to 16 or 17 degrees. South coast, some sunshine.

:47:15. > :47:20.South-west, a little more cloud. Still some brown spells. Murky

:47:21. > :47:24.conditions for the coast, with the jail. South-west Wales on the coast

:47:25. > :47:29.will hang on to is a murky conditions. Quite a lot of cloud

:47:30. > :47:32.across Wales. Temperatures are 16 or 17 and the sun. The Northern

:47:33. > :47:36.Ireland, cloudy with some bright spells developing through the

:47:37. > :47:40.afternoon. Through the evening and overnight period, it will be still

:47:41. > :47:45.fairly cloudy in the northern west. Clear skies by day. The cloud will

:47:46. > :47:52.feel in and it will be murky to that side of the English Channel. Hill

:47:53. > :47:56.fog, low-level fog, so that Italy to be aware of tomorrow morning. But

:47:57. > :47:59.that will tend to clear. Tomorrow for England and Wales, a fine start,

:48:00. > :48:03.with some sunshine. At a weather front coming in across Northern

:48:04. > :48:07.Ireland Scotland will sink south, taking rain weathered into northern

:48:08. > :48:11.England, north Wales, by the afternoon. Find it, so shattered

:48:12. > :48:14.showers in the hills, but possibly sleet at low levels. The wind will

:48:15. > :48:18.strengthen again across the far north of Scotland into the Northern

:48:19. > :48:23.Ireland. Heading into Friday, we are going to see the remnants of Storm

:48:24. > :48:27.Stella. But of course, that storm will be hugely modified by the

:48:28. > :48:34.Atlantic ocean. As it comes our way, it is not falling on cold services

:48:35. > :48:40.or cold air. -- surfaces. We will have another dose of this overnight

:48:41. > :48:42.on Friday. -- of the rain. So before everybody in the forecast for the

:48:43. > :48:47.next few Cruise holidays - bingo and bowls

:48:48. > :48:58.and just for the old? Or a fantastic way to see

:48:59. > :49:01.the world, whatever your age? Steph is taking a look

:49:02. > :49:04.at the industry this morning to find out why it's trying to get more

:49:05. > :49:11.young people on board. The average age of people on cruises

:49:12. > :49:14.is falling. Some might be shocked about. Good morning everyone. It is

:49:15. > :49:18.one of the most popular ways to get away for Brits. 1.9 billion of us

:49:19. > :49:21.took a cruising holiday last year. That is according to official

:49:22. > :49:24.figures out this morning. The average age of passengers on board

:49:25. > :49:28.is 55, which is a figure that has been falling. The industry was to

:49:29. > :49:41.change its image and get more young people on board. So what are they

:49:42. > :49:45.doing? I am joined now by Giles Hawke from the Cosmos Cruise

:49:46. > :49:53.company. Talk is right. Do you think the cruise industry has a poorer

:49:54. > :49:58.images? -- image. Do people just think it is boring and predictable?

:49:59. > :50:05.I think it is an image problem that is more historic than current. The

:50:06. > :50:09.old image of the overfed, newlywed, and nearly damp. That is changing

:50:10. > :50:13.and rapidly. The introduction of a lot of new ships over the last 15 or

:50:14. > :50:19.20 years, and the development of what you can do on a cruise ship has

:50:20. > :50:23.made a big difference. I think cruise lines working with famous

:50:24. > :50:28.brands and celebrities to make it more attractive to a wider audience

:50:29. > :50:36.is helping. Due to make you think that is why the average age is

:50:37. > :50:42.falling? Yes. I think there is a wider choice. Cruising is no longer

:50:43. > :50:46.all about very fancy entertainment Web people are in feathers and

:50:47. > :50:50.tiaras. It is not all about black ties and fancy frocks. That still

:50:51. > :50:57.exist, and some of it, but it is actually democratising cruises. On

:50:58. > :51:01.that point of affordability, you actually hear people say that if

:51:02. > :51:04.they wind the lottery, there will go on a Caribbean cruise or something.

:51:05. > :51:08.It seems more aspirational than a realistic annual holiday. Tell us

:51:09. > :51:12.about the coast will stop it is probably cheaper to go on a cruise

:51:13. > :51:19.now than 20 years ago. There is more available. There is then 50% growth

:51:20. > :51:26.in the past few years. Over the next ten years, we will see an increase

:51:27. > :51:30.of 30% again. There will be more ships available and beds available.

:51:31. > :51:36.For a family of four, you could sell at UK on a week's cruise to the west

:51:37. > :51:40.Mediterranean, and Bolelli do that front ?2000. When you think of

:51:41. > :51:44.everything included, the value for muggy is absolutely phenomenal. In

:51:45. > :51:48.terms of the future, where do you see growth coming from. You would

:51:49. > :51:53.like to get more young people on board and change the image, how will

:51:54. > :52:02.you do that? A whole range of things. Rizzo, a river cruising --

:52:03. > :52:09.river cruising is increasing. They are putting bikes on board to get

:52:10. > :52:13.people involved onshore excursions. You can go around a river ride in a

:52:14. > :52:20.Norwegian fjords. You can go hiking Nick in Alaska. A lot of it is about

:52:21. > :52:34.making what you can do the ship more attractive. On board, there are

:52:35. > :52:37.cruise to work with celebrity chefs. The third offering is changing. On

:52:38. > :52:44.board, you have things like iceskating ranks, climbing walls,

:52:45. > :52:51.slow brightness, cookery schools, famous DJs. So this is changing

:52:52. > :52:55.drastically. They give are talking to us about that. And thank you to

:52:56. > :53:01.every music and pictures. Very jealous. People are visiting them

:53:02. > :53:08.through. People got to amazing places. I have never been on a

:53:09. > :53:12.cruise. Have you? Not yet. I was on a container ship for ten years. That

:53:13. > :53:18.is not really a cruise. No entertainment. That is another

:53:19. > :53:23.story. Right now, we have to go to a grand historic mansion that was

:53:24. > :53:30.literally fit for a king. But it had crumbling walls, ceilings falling

:53:31. > :53:37.in, and Knole House needs some TLC. It has become the biggest task the

:53:38. > :53:43.National Trust is undertaken. It looks rather spooky there.

:53:44. > :54:01.Yes. It is the location where Henry VIII came to hunt deer. This is the

:54:02. > :54:04.building. He sees this in the reformation from the Archbishop of

:54:05. > :54:09.Canterbury. There are hundreds of years of history within these walls,

:54:10. > :54:14.behind these walls, surrounding this estate. And the challenge, really,

:54:15. > :54:18.is trying to, if you like, roll back the years, or Stoccos years taking

:54:19. > :54:28.their toll on his magnificent historic building and the treasures

:54:29. > :54:29.it contains. -- ought to stop the years taking their toll. We took a

:54:30. > :54:33.look around inside. -- or to stop the years

:54:34. > :54:38.taking their toll. With almost six centuries

:54:39. > :54:40.of history, Knole House is one of the oldest, grandest,

:54:41. > :54:42.and most important houses This is the great staircase

:54:43. > :54:46.at Knole, created by Thomas Attwood in the 17th-century and decorated

:54:47. > :54:49.by craftsmen from the King's Works. I think we have been overwhelmed

:54:50. > :54:54.by the scale of what we have here. Just keeping on top

:54:55. > :54:59.of the maintenance of that is And because the building is old,

:55:00. > :55:03.we got to a point where, actually, we needed to do something,

:55:04. > :55:05.a major intervention, like a project that we are working

:55:06. > :55:08.on now, really to secure This is the biggest restoration

:55:09. > :55:17.in the National Trust's history, all conducted under the watchful

:55:18. > :55:20.gaze of the Sackville family, powerful and influential

:09:36. > :09:38.It started in December 2015 with the discovery of a man's body

:09:39. > :09:40.on Saddleworth Moor, close to Manchester and turned

:09:41. > :09:43.into a mystery that sparked the interest of the world.

:09:44. > :09:45.Found with just a small bottle containing traces of poison,

:09:46. > :09:52.It took detectives over a year just to find out who he was.

:09:53. > :09:55.We'll speak to the officer behind the investigation in a moment.

:09:56. > :09:57.But following this week's inquest into the man's death,

:09:58. > :09:59.the story has been made into a documentary.

:10:00. > :10:23.Hi, police emergency. I've just found a dead body and it's just

:10:24. > :10:26.lying on the side of a path. It is a mountain track. It is like a Land

:10:27. > :10:37.Rover type track. Any idea how old he is? 50 to 60.

:10:38. > :10:44.700 feet above sea level, on an exposed edge of the Pennines lies

:10:45. > :10:52.Dove's Stone. It was a cold winter morning. Quite a fast wind. Driving

:10:53. > :10:56.rain. We were called out to reports of a male that had been found

:10:57. > :11:01.unconscious, possible cardiac arrest.

:11:02. > :11:04.The man is lying dead on the top of Saddleworth Moor. Bizarrely he's

:11:05. > :11:08.dressed for the high street rather than the hills.

:11:09. > :11:10.We're joined now by Detective Sergeant John Coleman

:11:11. > :11:13.from Greater Manchester Police and Sarah Hey who is the director

:11:14. > :11:15.of the documentary Mystery of the Man on the Moor.

:11:16. > :11:21.Thank you for coming on. Mystery is the right word. It really is. I know

:11:22. > :11:25.it is a long story and there is so many details, John, but from the

:11:26. > :11:29.moment you got that first call, can you tell us how the initial

:11:30. > :11:32.investigation started? Well, we received a phone call to the

:11:33. > :11:39.emergency services from a member of the public who was out cycling. The

:11:40. > :11:45.call was received at 10.47... Police time! We know you're always

:11:46. > :11:53.accurate! The gentleman had been found on a remote track between

:11:54. > :11:57.Dove's Stone Reservoir and another reservoir. It was an amazing set of

:11:58. > :12:01.circumstances. We've turned up and we've got a gentleman found

:12:02. > :12:05.deceased, lying on his back in this area and we thought it was an every

:12:06. > :12:12.day, unfortunately, death is part of our every day life. Possibly had a

:12:13. > :12:16.heart attack while walking. A heart attack, stroke, some kind of natural

:12:17. > :12:25.episode. You think to yourself, we'll get the identification

:12:26. > :12:29.quickly, he will have documentation, credit card, no phone, nothing which

:12:30. > :12:41.could assist us. Nothing apart from a bottle of pills? Yes. He had a

:12:42. > :12:45.bottle. It was labelled in English, but also had Urdu writing which was

:12:46. > :12:50.our first link to Pakistan however things developed quickly. He was in

:12:51. > :12:55.possession of ?130 in cash and the serial numbers of the notes were non

:12:56. > :13:00.sequential so we couldn't trace the cash. He had three train tickets

:13:01. > :13:05.from Ealing in West London. He travelled the previous day. Now, the

:13:06. > :13:09.tickets are coded so we know that the tickets were paid for with cash.

:13:10. > :13:16.So you couldn't trace a credit card either? But still you think to

:13:17. > :13:21.yourself OK, we'll search the missing phone database, we'll have a

:13:22. > :13:26.loved one, nothing. The car park, there was a number of cars in the

:13:27. > :13:34.car park, checked the cars, no. Not connected. So we decided to look at

:13:35. > :13:40.a media strategy. We see CCTV footage of him at the station where

:13:41. > :13:49.he bought the ticket? This is the male we know to be David Litton. He

:13:50. > :13:53.arrived at Piccadilly at 12.07 on the 11th of December 2015 and he

:13:54. > :13:58.walked around the station for a period of 53 minutes. So much

:13:59. > :14:03.detail. He walked into various shops. We know he purchased a

:14:04. > :14:08.sandwich. I know what sandwich it was. It was an egg sandwich. You had

:14:09. > :14:16.so much detail, but it look you how long to find his identity? His

:14:17. > :14:20.identity was a year to the day. Wow. Which we actually got this is

:14:21. > :14:23.definitely the man. This is the sort of story you followed through in the

:14:24. > :14:28.documentary of the police trying to find out this man. That's right.

:14:29. > :14:32.We've, 10% of the investigation, there was so many details of how

:14:33. > :14:35.police find out who he was and where he was from and his family and how

:14:36. > :14:41.he made the journey and why he made the journey? It is really difficult.

:14:42. > :14:44.You can't fit all of that into the film, it's impossible, you're

:14:45. > :14:47.looking at 12 months investigation to put into parts one and two and

:14:48. > :14:50.try and follow on from that, afterwards into part three and four

:14:51. > :14:54.to understand once you know the name of the man, you need to know who he

:14:55. > :15:00.actually is and that is also as intriguing as discovering who he was

:15:01. > :15:04.in the first place. First, you had a photo, a drawing, didn't you and

:15:05. > :15:08.then the CCTV, you put out a big media campaign, but the family

:15:09. > :15:11.didn't see it. This is David's brother who was tracked down by you

:15:12. > :15:17.and explained how much contact he had with his brother.

:15:18. > :15:24.I had assumed David was living probably in California. I had had

:15:25. > :15:30.some letters from David. He used to write to me to my core three times a

:15:31. > :15:38.year. For some reason the postmark was always California. Why I have no

:15:39. > :15:45.idea, if you are living in Pakistan. He told nobody where he went.

:15:46. > :15:49.Obviously a very private man. Very difficult for police officers to get

:15:50. > :15:53.to the bottom of where he was from. The Pakistan connection was to do

:15:54. > :15:59.with a hip replacement. That is how you found out. Yes. There was a

:16:00. > :16:07.postmortem. We identified he had a hip replacement, a titanium plate

:16:08. > :16:13.connected to his left femur. He had a fracture of the leg. We thought,

:16:14. > :16:19.we are moving forward, this is the break we are looking for. Let's get

:16:20. > :16:24.the plates. We will take that back to a hospital, get the date, deeds

:16:25. > :16:30.to the gentleman. No. There was a company name on the date -- plate.

:16:31. > :16:35.The company was in Pakistan and they had no licence for the UK. He

:16:36. > :16:42.definitely had to have had it in Pakistan. The company produced 500

:16:43. > :16:49.plates a year between 2001 and 2015. To only 15 hospitals. He is one of

:16:50. > :16:55.7000 people at this stage. That is narrowed down from one in a billion.

:16:56. > :16:59.Bring it down slowly. Still huge parts of the investigation and

:17:00. > :17:05.mystery about the whole thing. Definitely. You do not know why he

:17:06. > :17:12.came to Saddleworth. What brought him here in the first place? Why

:17:13. > :17:16.would he travel all that way from Pakistan to London and from London

:17:17. > :17:23.to Saddleworth? It is something I do not know whether you will ever get

:17:24. > :17:27.to the bottom. Thank you for that. It is so interesting here you

:17:28. > :17:35.talking about the details. I like to know the end of stories. And why.

:17:36. > :17:40.Does that play on your mind? I work with quite a dedicated team on this.

:17:41. > :17:44.It has been quite personal. Most of our investigations it is an

:17:45. > :17:48.investigation but this turned personal. We all have family

:17:49. > :17:52.members. If one of my sons or daughters were missing I would want

:17:53. > :17:59.to know where years and the personal information. We tried to put as much

:18:00. > :18:08.information forward as possible. We have put media strategies out there.

:18:09. > :18:13.I suppose it is the detail. The stuff goes round and round your

:18:14. > :18:23.head. Why 53 minutes that the state bill-mac station? Was he looking for

:18:24. > :18:27.somebody? Why settle Saddleworth? If you are from Manchester you will no

:18:28. > :18:33.be area he was then was where the taxes are, but it was funny that

:18:34. > :18:37.day. He remains there for a minute or so and then comes back into the

:18:38. > :18:44.station and walks around as if he is trying to tease us. Then, possibly

:18:45. > :18:51.significantly, he speaks to the inquiry counter clerk at the station

:18:52. > :18:56.and he is therefore four minutes. That is a long time in Piccadilly

:18:57. > :19:02.station which is so busy. What was he asking for and where was he

:19:03. > :19:04.asking to be directed to? If anybody knows the answers, you would like to

:19:05. > :19:17.know. If only. Fascinating story. Mystery of the Man on the Moor

:20:59. > :21:06.south-west when we hang on more murk. Inland brighter spells with

:21:07. > :21:12.the occasional shower. Wales is also quite murky today. The east of Wales

:21:13. > :21:16.we are looking at sunshine and 16 or 17. Northern Ireland patchy rain

:37:12. > :37:20.you would have been doing well to avoid the news on Leicester last

:37:21. > :37:21.night. Given their form in the league, Claudio Ranieri goes, all of

:37:22. > :37:24.a sudden they can't stop picking up. Leicester City have joined Barcelona

:37:25. > :37:26.and Bayern Munich in the quarter finals of the Champions League

:37:29. > :37:30.through 3-2 on aggregate, on one of the greatest

:37:31. > :37:33.nights in their history. For Leicester City the power

:37:34. > :37:41.of surprise is a renewable energy. It never seems to drain how

:37:56. > :37:58.Leicester's lead was. You could forgive the nerves,

:37:59. > :38:01.these fans have seen their heroes become mortals, losing the manager

:38:02. > :38:03.in the process. But just recently

:38:04. > :38:06.something has stirred. Mark Albrighton took

:38:07. > :38:10.aim and then took off. This was his last

:38:11. > :38:17.touch of the night. But one goal away from extra time

:38:18. > :38:21.here was their chance. But with Leicester City perhaps

:38:22. > :38:35.we should expect that. There's an enticing second leg tie

:38:36. > :38:38.for Manchester City tonight. They scored 3 times in 11 minutes

:38:39. > :38:41.to beat Monaco 5-3 - and manager Pep Guardiola says

:38:42. > :38:43.they'll be on the hunt Take the ball and attack as much

:38:44. > :38:48.as possible is the only way I know So that is why when one team scores

:38:49. > :38:54.124 goals you are thinking about just defending 90 minutes

:39:15. > :39:31.in favour of the change. Some people today on social media

:39:32. > :39:35.and in the papers are saying that the R should have waited to see if

:39:36. > :39:38.attitudes at Muirfield really do change before reinstating the golf

:39:39. > :39:42.club, to check if they're doing it for the right reasons and not just

:39:43. > :39:47.to have the Open back. You can't keep changing the goalposts. You

:39:48. > :39:51.can't tell them you're going to check up on them for what they've

:39:52. > :39:56.done. I do know what you mean. The question that being posed by a lot

:39:57. > :40:01.of people - is it a real commitment to promoting women's golf, or is it

:40:02. > :40:08.paid lip service so they can all get back to what was the status quo?

:40:09. > :40:09.It's a good question, and one that is being debated in the sports pages

:40:10. > :40:14.of the newspapers. It's 8:30, you're watching

:40:15. > :40:17.Breakfast. Her singing inspired British

:40:22. > :40:25.Dame Vera Lynn is still entertaining people with her beautiful voice,

:40:26. > :40:27.and to celebrate turning 100 next week has taken part

:40:28. > :40:30.in a one-off BBC documentary. We'll be speaking to someone

:40:31. > :40:44.who knows her better than anyone - Lets see a clip from a brand-new BBC

:40:45. > :40:56.documentary and hear from the huge impact she made all those years ago.

:40:57. > :41:03.# Thurlby bluebirds over. -- there will be bluebirds over

:41:04. > :41:06.# The white Cliffs of Dover. Singing to the troops, she had a

:41:07. > :41:20.warmth and something that was there but nobody else had.

:41:21. > :41:26.# Sailing, I am sailing... The fact that she was the girl next

:41:27. > :41:32.door. # We will meet again, don't know

:41:33. > :41:36.where... We all love to because of the fact

:41:37. > :41:41.that she was there building up the morale that we needed.

:41:42. > :41:46.The songs were always song. People remembered them.

:41:47. > :41:49.It was a sort of a love affair, I think.

:41:50. > :41:54.CHEERING Let's have a chat to Dame Vera's

:41:55. > :42:07.daughter, Virginia. Good morning. Lovely to see you. How

:42:08. > :42:12.is she? She's actually very well. At 101 has won's off days, but on the

:42:13. > :42:16.whole she's absolutely brilliant. She's been travelling the world.

:42:17. > :42:21.Many years. Throughout your childhood, did you know she was this

:42:22. > :42:26.famous star? Were you aware of that? It's a difficult question to answer.

:42:27. > :42:29.She's always been her, I've always been the daughter and I've grown up

:42:30. > :42:35.with it. I've taken it for granted, I suppose. When she did go away for

:42:36. > :42:40.a while, I'd go and stay with family. She always made sure she was

:42:41. > :42:45.home for birthdays, holidays, everything. She always made very

:42:46. > :42:51.sure that life continued as normal as possible. We've seen pictures of

:42:52. > :42:56.her, I think this is from Burma. She travelled the world, became the

:42:57. > :43:04.Forces' Sweetheart. How important was that? Very. To her, it was a day

:43:05. > :43:14.job. "What Can I do to help the war effort? " Asking where she can be

:43:15. > :43:18.most useful. She asked where she could be used, and they said she

:43:19. > :43:23.could go here, or here. She said, has anybody been to Burma? And they

:43:24. > :43:29.said, no, but we can't take you there, the Army will have to take

:43:30. > :43:33.over. That's exactly what happened. As a family you must be proud of the

:43:34. > :43:39.work she did and is still doing. Absolutely, yes. And being patron of

:43:40. > :43:45.quite a few charities. From our local hospice to our children's

:43:46. > :43:49.charity for children with cerebral palsy, and all these things are

:43:50. > :43:53.very, very important to her. Although she is mostly a figurehead

:43:54. > :43:57.now, she still very involved. She wants to know what's going on and

:43:58. > :44:00.what's happening with all the charities. Such a beautiful voice as

:44:01. > :44:05.well. Let's have a look at her talking about performing.

:44:06. > :44:11.Even though all the bombs were dropping during the war, my mother

:44:12. > :44:16.still did all the shows. One night, she had to stay over. They sat with

:44:17. > :44:19.their backs against one of the big walls because that was the safest

:44:20. > :44:23.place to be. Eventually she got fed up and decided to drive home. But

:44:24. > :44:31.she and other performers continued throughout the war. You never had

:44:32. > :44:35.singing lessons until you were older, and that didn't last long,

:44:36. > :44:40.did it? No, I never had singing lessons. I just went once. I thought

:44:41. > :44:46.I could extend my range. But when she heard me sing, she said, no, I

:44:47. > :44:50.can't train that voice, it's not a natural voice. So I said, thank you

:44:51. > :45:03.very much, madam, and I left! I wonder if she ever hurt me when I

:45:04. > :45:11.was on the radio after that. I expect she did. I am really pleased

:45:12. > :45:19.with the documentary. Only one scene. Five minutes later it was,

:45:20. > :45:24.thank you very much, goodbye. Did she loved the performing?

:45:25. > :45:29.Eventually, it was a bit do not put your daughter on the stage at the

:45:30. > :45:33.beginning. But afterwards she loved it. You can see the reaction from

:45:34. > :45:38.people which comes across on the documentary and you can see the

:45:39. > :45:43.reaction she has on people and how important she was to them. She is

:45:44. > :45:46.still a very important figure for so many people as well. Obviously you

:45:47. > :45:52.and the family know her better than anyone else. What have you got

:45:53. > :45:58.planned? How are you celebrating? We are not doing, it will be quicker.

:45:59. > :46:04.She does not do the TV any more, I do, I am second in line. We have got

:46:05. > :46:10.a big concert on Saturday at the Palladium with lots of wonderful

:46:11. > :46:13.stars. She was involved in the Palladium, as you know. Also the

:46:14. > :46:20.documentary at nine o'clock on BBC Two. There is a radio programme on

:46:21. > :46:27.BBC Radio on Sunday and a family party on Monday. You have got a

:46:28. > :46:32.family meal somewhere in that. Yes, everyone is coming to us, we are

:46:33. > :46:40.huge, so we cannot get everyone in. Do you think she might give a tune

:46:41. > :46:46.for everybody, she is releasing an album! They have digitalised and

:46:47. > :46:52.re-orchestrating some of her songs and she has got people doing duets

:46:53. > :46:56.with her, like Alfie bow. It is fantastic, it is wonderful what they

:46:57. > :47:03.have done. Her voice reaches all age groups anyway and we often get

:47:04. > :47:09.wonderful letters from 11-year-olds in America or Uzbekistan or all over

:47:10. > :47:13.that, it is wonderful. Which are very happy birthday from us. Thank

:47:39. > :47:42.award. Carol Kirkwood! It was a trick award for best weather

:47:43. > :47:48.presenter. She was kissing you there. That is the ninth she has

:47:49. > :47:54.one, the sixth on the trot. We always knew she was the best weather

:47:55. > :48:00.presenter out there. Once again, it is official, congratulations.

:48:01. > :48:10.It was so lovely to win it, and thank you everybody for that honour

:48:11. > :48:15.as well. Do you want to see it? Look at that, put it on your massive

:48:16. > :48:22.mantelpiece, Carol. Have you got another mantelpiece?

:48:23. > :48:27.No, of course not. I am really grateful. It is a team effort, we

:48:28. > :48:32.all work together and it is an award for everyone. I am in Saint James

:48:33. > :48:36.Brno Park this morning. Look how gorgeous it is. It is lovely and

:48:37. > :48:43.springlike and it is starting to warm up after a chilly start. The

:48:44. > :48:49.cloud is now breaking and we are seeing some sunshine.

:48:50. > :48:57.It is a cloudy start, but for most of us it is a mild day and it will

:48:58. > :49:03.stay dry. This morning we have got murky conditions which will improve

:49:04. > :49:07.as we go through the morning. The cloud will continue to break and the

:49:08. > :49:12.lying's share of the sunshine will be in Central and eastern areas. Out

:49:13. > :49:20.to the west it will be cloudy at times. The wind will strengthen as

:49:21. > :49:25.we go through the course of the day. We are looking at patchy rain in the

:49:26. > :49:29.west of Scotland, but largely dry and bright. In the far north of

:49:30. > :49:34.England and the North West of England it will be cloudy at times.

:49:35. > :49:38.On the other side of the Pennines we are looking at sunshine which

:49:39. > :49:43.extends down to east Anglia and Kent. From the Midlands to the Isle

:49:44. > :49:50.of White there is sunshine, highs up to 16 or 17. Into the south-west,

:49:51. > :49:54.although it will brighten up a bit, there will still be some coastal

:49:55. > :50:01.fog, possibly the odd shower here and there. South West Wales has some

:50:02. > :50:07.coastal fog. East Wales sees some sunshine with a high of 16 or 17,

:50:08. > :50:14.possibly more. For Northern Ireland after a damp start it will dry up,

:50:15. > :50:17.but we will have limited brightness. This evening and overnight we carry

:50:18. > :50:22.on with the patchy rain and drizzle in the West and we also have some

:50:23. > :50:28.sea fog coming in across the South East and we will also have some hill

:50:29. > :50:33.fog and low level fog as well. That will clear leaving England and Wales

:50:34. > :50:37.with a largely dry and bright start to the day. Scotland and Northern

:50:38. > :50:42.Ireland have a cold front coming in and that will move southwards,

:50:43. > :50:46.getting into northern England and Wales by the afternoon. Behind that

:50:47. > :50:52.there are cooler conditions, sunshine and showers, some of them

:50:53. > :50:56.will be wintry. On Friday we have got what is left of storm Stella

:50:57. > :51:03.coming our way, but hugely modified by the Atlantic Ocean. We are not

:51:04. > :51:07.looking at snow, but what will happen is the rain will come across

:51:08. > :51:11.from the north-west and south-west. We could see some snow in the

:51:12. > :51:19.mountains of Scotland but that is not unusual for this time of year.

:51:20. > :51:24.The second batch of rain will be coming our way on Friday.

:51:25. > :51:28.The blossom looks lovely. Long may it last. We are looking to the tenth

:51:29. > :51:33.award next year. That will be impressive. She wins

:51:34. > :51:42.Have you ever eaten food that has dropped on the floor?

:51:43. > :51:51.Yes. Do you applied the five second rule?

:51:52. > :51:51.I am not that fussy about five seconds.

:51:52. > :51:55.What about you? Yes. Apparently four in five of us have,

:51:56. > :51:59.and we've even come up The "five second rule" states

:52:00. > :52:03.that if you pick it up within five seconds,

:52:04. > :52:05.it's totally fine. We'll speak to a scientist who's

:52:06. > :52:08.been looking into this in a moment. But, first, this is what people

:52:09. > :52:10.in Salford had to say. I certainly wouldn't pick food up

:52:11. > :52:15.if I dropped it on the floor, because you don't know what's been

:52:16. > :52:17.there before you, do you? Perhaps if it was a child then I'd

:52:18. > :52:22.think twice about doing it. It's the first time

:52:23. > :52:24.I've heard about it. But I don't think I would

:52:25. > :52:26.touch anything that had At home I tend to be fine,

:52:27. > :52:32.so I would just pick it up at home. But maybe in certain situations,

:52:33. > :52:34.out and about, depending I'm a little bit more frugal

:52:35. > :52:44.with money, so I may possibly It's better to be safe

:52:45. > :52:51.than sorry, really. And you don't know who's walked

:52:52. > :52:54.on your floor, either. Even if people take their shoes off,

:52:55. > :52:58.it's still not very hygienic. If it is very important

:52:59. > :53:01.food that I really like, But maybe outside I would be

:53:02. > :53:20.a little bit conscious about that. Professor Anthony Hilton knows

:53:21. > :53:37.all about food and germs, Good morning. I applied the five

:53:38. > :53:41.second rule, sometimes I go over it. What are your thoughts? It is

:53:42. > :53:46.something that four out of five of us are doing according to a survey.

:53:47. > :53:52.What is the basis for that decision? We decided to look at the science

:53:53. > :53:56.behind it. We inoculated the floor of laminate floor, a tiled floor and

:53:57. > :54:02.carpet floor with tens of millions of bacteria and we dropped on their

:54:03. > :54:08.toast and biscuits. What we found is that a very low number of bacteria

:54:09. > :54:11.are picked up, only 25-50. Inadvertently people are OK, the

:54:12. > :54:16.risk is very low. Although they apply a time ruled it does not make

:54:17. > :54:23.any difference. It does not make any difference? OK. However, there is a

:54:24. > :54:27.time importance in things like soft food. If you drop something like

:54:28. > :54:32.sticky sweet is on there, the longer they are on the floor, the more

:54:33. > :54:38.bacteria they picked up. It could be down there for quite awhile and it

:54:39. > :54:42.be fine. It is good news for parents across the country because biscuits

:54:43. > :54:48.and toast get dropped all the time. You have an experiment here as well.

:54:49. > :54:54.It is an experiment where we are raising awareness of areas in the

:54:55. > :54:57.home where you can expose yourself to bacteria. People are worried

:54:58. > :55:02.about toast on the floor, but there are other things we should be

:55:03. > :55:07.worried about. One thing I worry about is chicken, which can have

:55:08. > :55:15.harmful germs, unless you cook it. Raw chicken has about 50-60% of

:55:16. > :55:24.bacteria on there. It is not a real chicken. As if I was chopping it up,

:55:25. > :55:29.I might inspect it. Your hands will have become contaminated. I would go

:55:30. > :55:34.straight to the sink and wash my hands.

:55:35. > :55:40.But you might come in and shake my hands! We have got contamination of

:55:41. > :55:45.your hands and cross contamination of your hands and we can demonstrate

:55:46. > :55:54.that. On the chicken we have an ultraviolet light. We can turn down

:55:55. > :55:58.the lights. You can see that the chicken is glowing and that is

:55:59. > :56:01.representative of the bacteria that might be on there. Hopefully on your

:56:02. > :56:12.hands you can see that your hands are contaminated. Get the lights

:56:13. > :56:17.back down. And there you can see it. And on your hands as well. You can

:56:18. > :56:23.see it on my hands as well and that was a five second handshake. The

:56:24. > :56:28.importance of what we are showing is the importance of hygiene and

:56:29. > :56:34.washing your hands and taking care of those activities that have the

:56:35. > :56:41.most impact. If I had not shake it your hand, I would be spreading this

:56:42. > :56:46.everywhere. That is the issue, spreading the

:56:47. > :56:53.bacteria? Exactly and we want to engage with the younger engineers

:56:54. > :56:59.and scientists who come to the Big Ban Fair. Immediately you have

:57:00. > :57:05.touched something like chicken that could be problematic with

:57:06. > :57:08.problematic organisms. Hand washing is the single most important thing

:57:09. > :57:16.we can do to keep ourselves safe after handling poultry and raw food

:57:17. > :57:19.and things like that. The research said 2% of people admit to eating

:57:20. > :57:24.something that has been dropped on the floor in a cinema. I would

:57:25. > :57:31.imagine somewhere like that... I can hear the groaning already. The work

:57:32. > :57:35.we did was looking primarily in the indoor, domestic environment, in

:57:36. > :57:40.your own home. Interestingly, half of the people we look that would

:57:41. > :57:46.pick up food in their own home, but only 20% would pick it up in someone

:57:47. > :57:50.else's home! It is only about one or 2% of people who would pick things

:57:51. > :57:54.up in the public and I would not advocate that at all. What about if

:57:55. > :58:01.you have animals at home? Would there be more germs around? In a

:58:02. > :58:07.home with pets, people who wear their outdoor shoes indoors, it all

:58:08. > :58:14.alters what we call the type of microbe in the environment. It is

:58:15. > :58:19.coming in from the outside on an animal's pause and muggy shoes. How

:58:20. > :58:26.much damage could that do to an individual child who is coming into

:58:27. > :58:31.contact with that contaminated food? We survey people's homes and whether

:58:32. > :58:35.they had pets for children and whether they wore their shoes inside

:58:36. > :58:40.or outside, and we never found anything that was problematic. There

:58:41. > :58:44.are lots of environmental organisms, but not ones that we associate with

:58:45. > :58:49.disease. In a risk weight dropping food in your own home it picks up so

:58:50. > :58:56.few bacteria that the risk is quite small. Would you ever eat a mint

:58:57. > :59:01.suite in a restaurant or take an nut from a bar? That is another survey

:59:02. > :59:06.all by itself, something I need to look into and come back to you on

:59:07. > :59:12.that. I have heard statistics about that!

:59:13. > :59:17.I want to go and wash my hands now. I will be carrying out more

:59:18. > :59:23.demonstrations like that one at the big bang fair in Birmingham.

:59:24. > :59:25.It's a grand historic mansion that was, quite

:59:26. > :59:29.Yet, crumbling walls and falling ceilings meant Knole House in Kent

:59:30. > :59:31.was in desperate need of some serious TLC.

:59:32. > :59:32.It became the focus of the biggest restoration

:59:33. > :59:34.project the National Trust has ever undertaken.

:59:35. > :59:37.Let's find out more from John Maguire, who's

:59:38. > :59:47.It really looks spectacular. Good morning, John? Good morning. There's

:59:48. > :59:56.a big difference you may have noticed. The mist has just lifted,

:59:57. > :00:00.which means you can just about see deer in the distance at the top of

:00:01. > :00:06.the hill. We believe there are about 350 here at Knole. That's the first

:00:07. > :00:12.time we've seen them this morning. So lots of Tudor Deer parks on the

:00:13. > :00:17.show for you this morning. This is the spectacular Knole House. More

:00:18. > :00:20.than 600 years old. Once seized by Henry VIII during the Reformation,

:00:21. > :00:25.although we don't believe he ever rested his head here. But he just

:00:26. > :00:28.liked to acquire palaces. An extraordinary place that is really

:00:29. > :00:32.showing its age. Let's show you inside.

:00:33. > :00:41.With almost six centuries of history, Knole House

:00:42. > :00:44.is one of the oldest, grandest and most important

:00:45. > :00:48.This is the Great Staircase at Knole, created at the beginning

:00:49. > :00:51.of the 17th century and decorated by craftsmen from the King's works.

:00:52. > :00:57.I think we'll be overwhelmed by the scale of what

:00:58. > :01:07.And just keeping on top of the maintenance of a building

:01:08. > :01:12.And because the building is so old, we've got to the point where,

:01:13. > :01:16.A major intervention, like a project that we're working on now,

:01:17. > :01:19.This is the biggest restoration in the National Trust's history,

:01:20. > :01:22.all conducted under the watchful gaze of the Sackville family.

:01:23. > :01:24.Powerful and influential in the 17th century Royal Court,

:01:25. > :01:26.their descendants live here to this day -

:01:27. > :01:37.So a state-of-the-art conservation studio will,

:01:38. > :01:40.with painstaking patients, work to protect the building

:01:41. > :01:49.This is the famous Knole sofa, made anywhere between 1625 and 1660.

:01:50. > :01:51.As like everything at Knole, it's incredibly dusty.

:01:52. > :01:57.One of our jobs would be to very carefully and slowly start to remove

:01:58. > :02:01.the dust, and see if we can get the grey gone and the colour back.

:02:02. > :02:04.We overlap the previous bit to make sure we haven't

:02:05. > :02:09.And then just keep the system going, really.

:02:10. > :02:11.The conservators employ the same skills and techniques that

:02:12. > :02:14.have embellished Knole for hundreds of years.

:02:15. > :02:17.I suppose the whole point of it was to show off

:02:18. > :02:24.And that's why, quite often in the past, reguilding is done.

:02:25. > :02:29.Because if old gets worn or dirty, or it doesn't look as shiny,

:02:30. > :02:34.that was the stage where owners would have chosen to reguild.

:02:35. > :02:38.Through the ages, dust, rain and wood smoke have

:02:39. > :02:49.This x-ray shows damage caused by woodwork.

:02:50. > :02:56.The team has to preserve the ornate and the elaborate of Knole's past,

:02:57. > :02:58.while ensuring the health and the safety requirements

:02:59. > :03:00.of the present - to protect not only the house itself,

:03:01. > :03:05.but also those who come here to visit.

:03:06. > :03:12.Here we are in the courtyard. That visitor centre that we were just

:03:13. > :03:16.showing you opens to the public tomorrow. So you get a chance to

:03:17. > :03:22.have a really good close-up look at the type of work that takes place

:03:23. > :03:25.here. The exterior itself is spectacular and wonderful, but I

:03:26. > :03:30.suppose a lot of the work goes on inside. It's interesting to hear

:03:31. > :03:35.about the size of the roof. It's had lots of water damage. All of those

:03:36. > :03:38.things that have occurred over the years. It's almost a case of trying

:03:39. > :03:48.to roll back the years. The damage that very much defined this place

:03:49. > :03:51.has also, to a certain extent, led to threatening its.

:03:52. > :03:55.It's been wonderful, and what painstaking work as well.

:03:56. > :03:58.Thank you very much indeed. I'm glad the mist finally cleared.

:03:59. > :04:00.In a moment we'll be looking ahead to the second

:04:01. > :04:02.season of the hit series, The Last Kingdom.

:04:03. > :04:04.But first a last brief look at the headlines

:04:05. > :05:48.Thanks for watching and have a lovely day.

:05:49. > :05:52.Hello, welcome back. It's five past nine.

:05:53. > :05:54.The BBC's epic swords and Saxons drama, The Last Kingdom,

:05:55. > :05:56.returns for a second season this week.

:05:57. > :05:58.Described as the real life Game of Thrones,

:05:59. > :06:00.it's set during the time of King Alfred the Great.

:06:01. > :06:02.And combines historical fact with fictional characters.

:06:03. > :06:04.The story is based on the best-selling noveIs

:06:05. > :06:09.He joins us on the sofa along with the show's

:06:10. > :06:22.He plays Uhtred. Going for the full Danish pronunciation!

:06:23. > :06:26.But before we speak to them, here's a clip to whet your appetite.

:06:27. > :06:37., We will play you that in a little while. We have technical issues.

:06:38. > :06:41.Lots of people have watched it. For those who haven't, tell us what it's

:06:42. > :06:46.about. It's about the making of England. Brilliant. A good selling

:06:47. > :06:51.point. If you had been sitting here in Manchester in the year 880, you

:06:52. > :06:56.would know what I was talking about. 50 years later, there was a place

:06:57. > :07:01.called England. So how did that happen? That the big story in the

:07:02. > :07:07.background. In the foreground is his story, and he can tell you about

:07:08. > :07:14.that. Go on. The story is historical, but the fictional part

:07:15. > :07:18.is my character. His story is told through his eyes. He's Borre Saxon

:07:19. > :07:22.but is raised as a Dane because his parents are killed when he is a

:07:23. > :07:27.little boy. -- he is born as a Saxon. He has access to both worlds.

:07:28. > :07:34.He feels a strong allegiance to the north of theology, he needs the

:07:35. > :07:40.Saxons in order to get what he wants, which is his birthright, the

:07:41. > :07:46.fortress now known as Bamburgh Castle. He eventually becomes the

:07:47. > :07:49.leader of RFID's armies. We are going to show a bit from the second

:07:50. > :07:58.series now. -- the leader of Alfred's armies. This is this is

:07:59. > :08:00.when Uhtred is struggling to come to terms with the death of the woman he

:08:01. > :08:14.loves. What am I to do in Northumbria with

:08:15. > :08:21.an army of two? Prepare yourself. To do what? Kill him and the men who

:08:22. > :08:26.surround him? You can begin to carry yourself as a Lord. Or we could

:08:27. > :08:28.return to Winchester. No, we could not return to Winchester. Did she

:08:29. > :08:54.not say that your path went north? Thank you.

:08:55. > :08:58.That feels like a very significant moment.

:08:59. > :09:01.But I like about it is you what a lot of these fictional dramas and

:09:02. > :09:05.it's all place names and maps which you have two imagine in your own

:09:06. > :09:10.mind. But here you're talking about places like Winchester and it feels

:09:11. > :09:13.like real history. Winchester was the capital of Wessex, and at one

:09:14. > :09:18.time the capital of England. When you are talking about the making of

:09:19. > :09:20.England, it's probably not a popular thing to say, but it's a process

:09:21. > :09:25.that begins in the South in gradually spread northwards. Uhtred

:09:26. > :09:29.follows that course and eventually gets further and further north

:09:30. > :09:33.through the course of the series. I get pulled back south again, and

:09:34. > :09:39.against game. That's because women. What isn't? It's going to be great

:09:40. > :09:43.fun. Did you worry that people would get confused between fact and

:09:44. > :09:47.fiction? I don't worry. I think people know when they're seeing

:09:48. > :09:53.fiction. Like most historical novels, think about Gone With The

:09:54. > :09:57.Wind, the big story is the story of the war and the little story is

:09:58. > :10:06.scarlet. So the little story here is about Uhtred and his land. There was

:10:07. > :10:10.a Uhtred, and he was a Lord. He managed to hold onto his land in a

:10:11. > :10:14.Viking controlled kingdom. We don't know how that happened because we

:10:15. > :10:18.don't have the record, so that means I can make it up and then he can

:10:19. > :10:22.play it. Excellent. Does the history of that interest you at all, or is

:10:23. > :10:30.it strictly a part and a script for you? It interests me. You have to

:10:31. > :10:34.know about these things if you're going to play the character

:10:35. > :10:38.accurately. My mum used to be a history teacher and I hated it as a

:10:39. > :10:41.kid. But here you are! Tell us about the filming of it. I can't help

:10:42. > :10:46.watching these programmes and looking at those horses...

:10:47. > :10:52.Magnificent riding, by the way. Thank you very much. We had a great

:10:53. > :10:56.stunt coordinator. He is the real version of Robin Retford's horse

:10:57. > :11:01.whisperer. He is as patient with the active as he is with the horses. Do

:11:02. > :11:07.you do as many as your -- do you do much of your instance? As many as

:11:08. > :11:10.they let me. Currently, there are ten books. Yes, we're up to ten

:11:11. > :11:15.books and the second series takes us up to the fourth book. So

:11:16. > :11:22.potentially there's a lot more in there. Yes, there is! Look at that.

:11:23. > :11:28.Will you continue writing? Yes. Uhtred is pretty ancient by now. By

:11:29. > :11:33.the tenth book I fudge his age. People ask me how old he is and I

:11:34. > :11:40.say, I don't know. I do, but I'm not saying! I can take up smoking.

:11:41. > :11:42.Guarantee series three and four. It obviously it starts with your work
