:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Tina Daheley.

:00:07. > :00:09.A third way for Scotland's future as Gordon Brown sets out

:00:10. > :00:16.The former Prime Minister will say a new kind of federal home rule

:00:17. > :00:35.is needed for the United Kingdom, to avoid years of bitter division.

:00:36. > :00:37.Good morning, it's Saturday the 18th of March.

:00:38. > :00:40.Also ahead, more than 100 British troops arrive in Estonia

:00:41. > :00:44.in an attempt to deter Russian aggression.

:00:45. > :00:47.A US security chief dismisses claims that GCHQ carried out surveillance

:00:48. > :00:55.In sport, a world record, and the grand slam is there

:00:56. > :01:03.If they can do what the women did, and beat Ireland to win

:01:04. > :01:18.Paolo! This is only the pre- chamber, where it is only minus 60.

:01:19. > :01:21.It got much colder, when I went to a deep freeze to cool off to see how

:01:22. > :01:21.it could improve sporting performance.

:01:22. > :01:31.Good morning. An unsettled weekend in prospect. Some cloudy weather,

:01:32. > :01:36.some breezy weather, but rainfall amounts will ret -- will vary. Find

:01:37. > :01:37.out how much you will get in about 15 minutes.

:01:38. > :01:42.Gordon Brown says Scotland should be handed a raft of new powers

:01:43. > :01:45.after Brexit to prevent the United Kingdom from splitting.

:01:46. > :01:47.The former Prime Minister will use a speech today to put

:01:48. > :01:49.forward his "third option" for Scotland's future.

:01:50. > :01:52.His intervention comes as the SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon

:01:53. > :01:53.addresses her party conference today.

:01:54. > :01:59.Our political correspondent Ian Watson reports.

:02:00. > :02:07.Smile! Nicola Sturgeon has been saying what her members and

:02:08. > :02:09.supporters want to hear, that a second referendum on Scottish

:02:10. > :02:16.independence should happen before Britain leads the EU. But she knows

:02:17. > :02:20.she does not have support beyond her powerbase, sociable IQ that her call

:02:21. > :02:23.for a referendum is not just about standing up for Scotland, it is

:02:24. > :02:27.about democracy. When Nicola Sturgeon takes to the stage later

:02:28. > :02:30.today she will repeat her demand for a second independence referendum.

:02:31. > :02:36.But it looks like Theresa May isn't for turning. The SNP see their call

:02:37. > :02:40.for a referendum as a win-win. Either Theresa May gives in to them

:02:41. > :02:44.on their timescale, or they believe that a refusal to do so will help

:02:45. > :02:49.them build support for independence in the longer term. I think Theresa

:02:50. > :02:52.May trying to deny the Scottish people their say on this is

:02:53. > :02:57.something that she will have cause to regret. I think the longer

:02:58. > :03:00.Theresa May tries to deny the people of Scotland bears say, the better it

:03:01. > :03:06.is for the campaign for independence. This is everybody's

:03:07. > :03:11.flags, everyone's culture! This former Prime Minister was credited

:03:12. > :03:13.with saving the union when he passionately campaigned against

:03:14. > :03:19.independence at the last referendum. This time, he says, after Brexit,

:03:20. > :03:23.Scotland could get a more powerful parliament without having to break

:03:24. > :03:26.its links to the rest of the UK. Gordon Brown is calling for a

:03:27. > :03:31.federal United Kingdom, with the Scottish Parliament taking powers

:03:32. > :03:33.from Brussels, getting control of VAT rates, and negotiating treaties

:03:34. > :03:39.with other European countries. But from Nicola Sturgeon's respectively

:03:40. > :03:42.choice for voters should be stark. An independent Scotland that wants

:03:43. > :03:47.to be in the EU, or remaining with Grexit written. -- Brexit Britain.

:03:48. > :03:50.The first British soldiers have arrived in Estonia -

:03:51. > :03:52.part of the largest deployment of British troops to Europe

:03:53. > :03:57.Over the next few weeks a total of 800 British soldiers

:03:58. > :04:00.and hundreds of military vehicles will be sent the Baltic state

:04:01. > :04:02.as NATO forces reinforce the border with Russia.

:04:03. > :04:08.Our defence correspondent Jonathan Beale reports.

:04:09. > :04:16.The British Army has been preparing for this moment. These tanks depart

:04:17. > :04:22.for a final exercise in Germany ahead of their move east, towards

:04:23. > :04:26.Russia. They are now among 300 military vehicles that have been

:04:27. > :04:33.loaded onto a ferry destined for the small or click state of Estonia. --

:04:34. > :04:37.Baltic state. This is the start of the biggest deployment since the end

:04:38. > :04:41.of the Cold War, which will cede Tisch troops with tanks and armour

:04:42. > :04:48.deployed on the eastern flank of Nato, ready to reassure our allies,

:04:49. > :04:52.ready to stand up for the collective defence of Nato, and to deter any

:04:53. > :04:56.possible Russian aggression. -- see British troops with tanks. The first

:04:57. > :05:01.British troops are trained and ready to go, not just alert to any

:05:02. > :05:05.military threat, but also from other potential provocations from Russia.

:05:06. > :05:09.Do you think the threat is more military, or is it the Russians

:05:10. > :05:15.playing games and using social media and fake news and all that sort of

:05:16. > :05:19.stuff? It is a mixture of both. There is the cyber threat and all of

:05:20. > :05:23.that stuff, but again, we have trained for every eventuality. We

:05:24. > :05:27.know how to protect ourselves. Are you worried about anything? Not

:05:28. > :05:31.really. There is obviously a credible threats just over the

:05:32. > :05:35.border, but I think we are a credible deterrent. These are the

:05:36. > :05:39.first of 800 richest troops who will be arriving in Estonia over the next

:05:40. > :05:43.few weeks. And it is just the start of what could be a long, open ended

:05:44. > :05:50.deployment to deter Russian aggression. They are not expecting

:05:51. > :05:53.to go to war, but these soldiers will still be caught up in the

:05:54. > :05:58.rising tensions between Russia and the west. They are not alone,

:05:59. > :06:01.though. The US, Canada and Germany are also sending their troops to

:06:02. > :06:07.reinforce Nato's eastern flank. The American surveillance agency -

:06:08. > :06:11.the NSA - has rejected suggestions that British agents spied

:06:12. > :06:13.on Donald Trump, at the request On Wednesday, a White House

:06:14. > :06:17.spokesman discussed an allegation that GCHQ was asked to tap

:06:18. > :06:20.Mr Trump's calls last year. Downing Street says it's been

:06:21. > :06:22.reassured by Washington From Washington,

:06:23. > :06:38.Tulip Mazumdar reports. Two strong leaders with many

:06:39. > :06:42.differences. They discussed immigration, trade and Nato, and

:06:43. > :06:48.then the thorny issue of wiretapping came up. At least we have something

:06:49. > :06:54.in common, perhaps. LAUGHTER

:06:55. > :07:00.. It was an awkward joke that did not seem to particularly amuse the

:07:01. > :07:04.Chancellor. The US admitted in 2015 to tapping Angela Merkel's

:07:05. > :07:08.telephone. There is no evidence supporting Donald Trump's similar

:07:09. > :07:11.claims, and today he distanced himself from suggestions by his own

:07:12. > :07:16.press secretary that British intelligence may have been involved.

:07:17. > :07:20.I didn't make an opinion on it. That was a statement made by a very

:07:21. > :07:25.talented lawyer, on Fox. He shouldn't be talking to me come you

:07:26. > :07:30.should be talking to Fox. Downing Street says it has been ensured the

:07:31. > :07:35.US will not repeat the claims. In an exclusive interview with the BBC,

:07:36. > :07:39.America's equivalent agency to GCHQ had this to say about the

:07:40. > :07:42.allegations of UK involvement. What would be the advantage to the UK

:07:43. > :07:47.government of doing something like that? The cost would be immense, in

:07:48. > :07:53.comparison to any value. So of course they wouldn't do it. It would

:07:54. > :07:56.be epically stupid. Arriving in Florida with his family for the

:07:57. > :07:58.weekend, the President will no doubt be reflecting on yet another

:07:59. > :08:01.controversial week in office. Schools should teach children how

:08:02. > :08:04.to spot "fake news" and recognise lies on social media, according

:08:05. > :08:08.to a leading education expert. The director of the influential

:08:09. > :08:11.think tank the OECD says pupils are becoming too dependent

:08:12. > :08:13.on the internet and need help distinguishing between true

:08:14. > :08:21.and false information online. New research suggests the idyllic

:08:22. > :08:24.image some people have of the countryside is masking

:08:25. > :08:26.pockets of poverty, poor health and social isolation that can

:08:27. > :08:29.exist in rural areas. The report by Public Health England

:08:30. > :08:31.and the Local Government Association says official statistics

:08:32. > :08:34.are often skewed towards gathering information about people living

:08:35. > :08:55.in towns and cities, Nice, soft elbows. Keep it nice and

:08:56. > :08:58.soft. Tina goes to this leisure centre three times a week, in

:08:59. > :09:02.Withernsea. She was referred there by a health train and she is seeing

:09:03. > :09:07.significant improvements. But getting there takes an hour by bus.

:09:08. > :09:12.Lots of people don't drive. Having the transport is essential, because

:09:13. > :09:16.if it wasn't, I couldn't come here. Nearly 10 million people in England

:09:17. > :09:20.within areas defined as rural. Current measures show that overall,

:09:21. > :09:24.their health is better than those living in towns. But a new report

:09:25. > :09:28.says those statistics can mask pockets of deprivation and poor

:09:29. > :09:31.health, at the age demographic is changing, and that it is often

:09:32. > :09:36.difficult to access health and care services. The study says 20% of

:09:37. > :09:41.people in rural areas live more than 2.5 miles from a GP surgery,

:09:42. > :09:49.compound with just 2% in urban areas. -- compared. And that more

:09:50. > :09:52.than 15% of rural households live in relative poverty after housing costs

:09:53. > :09:55.are taken into account. The report also says not enough is known about

:09:56. > :09:59.the health and well-being of people living in the countryside. We have

:10:00. > :10:02.been concerned for some time that official government statistics in

:10:03. > :10:06.other areas do not effectively capture the needs of rural areas.

:10:07. > :10:10.That is not just promote as places. It is also those rural areas on the

:10:11. > :10:13.fringes of towns and cities. The government says it wants everybody

:10:14. > :10:17.to get high-quality healthcare regardless of where they live, and

:10:18. > :10:19.it is targeting the recruitment of new GPs to be areas that need them

:10:20. > :10:20.most. Prince William and the Duchess

:10:21. > :10:23.of Cambridge will meet victims of the attack on the Bataclan

:10:24. > :10:26.concert hall in Paris today. Yesterday the royal couple met

:10:27. > :10:28.French President Francois Hollande. The visit is part of the UK

:10:29. > :10:31.government's charm offensive in Europe ahead of the

:10:32. > :10:34.start of Brexit talks. This report by our Royal

:10:35. > :10:46.Correspondent Nicholas Witchell The high into the glamour of a

:10:47. > :10:50.black-tie dinner at the British Embassy, lies a serious purpose. --

:10:51. > :10:55.be high into the glamour. Visits like this one by William and

:10:56. > :10:58.Katherine to Paris are done at the behest of the Foreign Office and the

:10:59. > :11:01.royal family are being deployed quite deliberately to Europe.

:11:02. > :11:05.Nothing too obviously political, but in a concerted effort to remind

:11:06. > :11:09.Europe of what Britain contributes to the continent and how nothing

:11:10. > :11:14.need change. William read a message from the Queen. The ties between our

:11:15. > :11:20.nations have stood the test of time and will, I am sure, continue to

:11:21. > :11:26.prosper. I hope you have a most enjoyable and memorable event.

:11:27. > :11:29.Signed, Elizabeth second. Earlier in the speech, William talked of the

:11:30. > :11:35.deep friendship and 20 United Kingdom and France, forged, as he

:11:36. > :11:38.put it, in sweat and cloud. And... This partnership will continue,

:11:39. > :11:43.despite Britain's recent decision to leave the EU. The depth of our

:11:44. > :11:48.friendship and the breadth of our co-operation will not change. Today,

:11:49. > :11:52.among other engagements, the Duke and Duchess will meet survivors from

:11:53. > :11:56.the Bataclan massacre of November 20 15. One thing William will not be

:11:57. > :12:00.doing on this first official visit to Paris is to go to the place where

:12:01. > :12:05.his mother died in that car accident 20 years ago this year. The theme of

:12:06. > :12:05.this visit is very much to look to the future.

:12:06. > :12:08.Medical researchers have discovered the world's healthiest hearts -

:12:09. > :12:11.and they belong to a tribe of hunter-gatherers in Bolivia.

:12:12. > :12:14.A study published in the Lancet found that two-thirds of the Tsimane

:12:15. > :12:18.people have unclogged arteries even in old age,

:12:19. > :12:21.probably due to frequent exercise, low smoking rates and a diet rich

:12:22. > :12:27.in lean meat, fish and foraged fruit and nuts.

:12:28. > :12:29.The St Patrick's Day celebrations continued overnight

:12:30. > :12:33.Streets and landmarks were lit up in green around the globe,

:12:34. > :12:37.including the leaning tower of Pisa, and the Christ the Redeemer statue

:12:38. > :12:51.And those are the main stories this morning. Let's have a prick look

:12:52. > :12:58.through some of the front pages. We will start with the Daily Telegraph.

:12:59. > :13:01.Many of the papers, you saw those images a moment ago, concentrating

:13:02. > :13:04.on the Duchess of Cambridge on that official trip to Paris last night.

:13:05. > :13:09.Watts of glamorous outfits on display there. Brexit rigour than

:13:10. > :13:12.union is the headline. Brexit is more important to voters than

:13:13. > :13:17.keeping the UK together. That is according to a Daily Telegraph poll.

:13:18. > :13:20.And on the issue of Scottish independence, will be speaking to

:13:21. > :13:26.the SNP later on this morning. The front page of the guardian, a story

:13:27. > :13:29.everybody is talking about. George Osborne's appointment as the editor

:13:30. > :13:32.of the London Evening Standard. Pressure mounting on the ex-

:13:33. > :13:37.Chancellor to resign as an MP. This news was announced yesterday. Some

:13:38. > :13:40.Conservatives, people in his own party, are questioning whether he

:13:41. > :13:44.can effectively represent his constituents while editing a daily

:13:45. > :13:51.paper on top of four other jobs. No apology after Trump aid repeats GCHQ

:13:52. > :13:56.claim. Damage limitation on the part of the White House, scrambling to

:13:57. > :14:00.limit the damage caused by White House spokesperson's Sean Spicer's

:14:01. > :14:03.repetition of the claim that recession intelligence spied on

:14:04. > :14:08.Donald Trump. And on the front page of the Daily Mail, they are focusing

:14:09. > :14:13.on Google. A row about the material that sometimes appears on Google.

:14:14. > :14:18.Profiting from hatred is the way the Daily Mail is putting it. MPs have

:14:19. > :14:22.said that the tech firm has failed to control online offensive content.

:14:23. > :14:27.This is just about how much Google can do to control the content that

:14:28. > :14:31.is on Google more widely. The times focusing on exactly the same story

:14:32. > :14:37.on their front page. Google lets anti-Semitic videos stay on new

:14:38. > :14:39.chip, that is the headline. One of the world's biggest advertising

:14:40. > :14:44.agencies yesterday pulled its clients out of the advertising

:14:45. > :14:48.network there, after the government also announced it was removing its

:14:49. > :14:51.videos from you should as well. We will have a full review of the

:14:52. > :14:57.papers later this morning. The time right now is 6:14am.

:14:58. > :14:59.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:15:00. > :15:05.Gordon Brown, will call for greater powers to be given to Scotland's

:15:06. > :15:08.government as he warns of the dangers of independence.

:15:09. > :15:10.The American surveillance agency the NSA has rejected claims GCHQ

:15:11. > :15:15.was asked to spy on Donald Trump, calling it "nonsense".

:15:16. > :15:18.From India's record breaking space industry,

:15:19. > :15:21.to finding ways of dealing with its eye-wateringly bad

:15:22. > :15:25.Click is in India to discover how the country is innovating

:15:26. > :15:38.Let's find out what's happening with the weather. Ben, how is it looking,

:15:39. > :15:43.very wet where we are but lovely where you are. This isn't where I

:15:44. > :15:47.am, this is York, where it looked lovely in this picture but largely

:15:48. > :15:51.because of the flowers, not the grey skies and that's the impression I

:15:52. > :15:56.wanted to give this morning. Pretty grey skies for most of this weekend,

:15:57. > :16:00.a lot of cloud around, quite breezy, mild and some rain around at times

:16:01. > :16:04.but not everyone getting too much, most will be out west. You can see

:16:05. > :16:08.we have this pipeline of cloud streaming from the west and it's

:16:09. > :16:11.where your most exposed to that pipeline in western areas that you

:16:12. > :16:15.will see most of the rain this weekend, further east they lot of

:16:16. > :16:20.dry weather and even brightness and this morning in Northern Scotland, a

:16:21. > :16:25.different story with clear skies overnight, some icy stretches,

:16:26. > :16:27.showers here, sunny spells. Southern Scotland, Northern Ireland,

:16:28. > :16:33.north-west England, more cloud, patchy rain and drizzle but mild,

:16:34. > :16:36.double digits for many at 7am! A few clearer spells for the north-east of

:16:37. > :16:40.England and in the southern half of England and Wales, a lot of cloud,

:16:41. > :16:45.and Wales and the south-west will see outbreaks of patchy rain and

:16:46. > :16:51.drizzle, especially for coasts and hills. Through the day for many it

:16:52. > :16:53.will be cloudy, spots of rain and drizzle, especially in the west and

:16:54. > :16:57.more persistent rain spreading through Northern Ireland, south-west

:16:58. > :17:01.Scotland into northern England and north Wales by the end of the day.

:17:02. > :17:05.Chilly with sunshine and showers in Northern Scotland but elsewhere a

:17:06. > :17:10.mild feeling day. A big weekend in the Six Nations, the last weekend to

:17:11. > :17:16.come. In Edinburgh, Paris and Dublin, similar weather, not too

:17:17. > :17:21.much rain and for most it will be mild. Staying mostly cloudy tonight,

:17:22. > :17:24.mist and murk and some heavy rain at times in Northern Ireland, Scotland

:17:25. > :17:29.and northern England. To the south of that, not too much rain and

:17:30. > :17:33.overnight temperatures dropping no lower than 8-10 for many but that

:17:34. > :17:37.bit colder in the northern heart of Scotland. Tomorrow, we do it

:17:38. > :17:41.essentially all again, rain through Northern Ireland, south-west

:17:42. > :17:45.Scotland, northern England, north Wales and blustery winds, maybe

:17:46. > :17:51.gales for coasts in the west, the best chance of any brightness in the

:17:52. > :17:55.south-east and here it will be mild again but further north it will be a

:17:56. > :17:57.bit cooler with a mixture of bright spells and showers. That's all from

:17:58. > :18:00.me, more through the morning. We'll be back with a summary

:18:01. > :18:03.of the news at 6:30am. Now it's time for the Film Review

:18:04. > :18:17.with Jane Hill and Mark Kermode. Hello and welcome to

:18:18. > :18:26.the Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's

:18:27. > :18:29.cinema releases is Mark Kermode. We have Get Out, a horror

:18:30. > :18:34.movie-cum-social thriller. We have The Salesman

:18:35. > :18:36.from Asghar Fahadi, I am fascinated to know what you

:18:37. > :18:49.thought Get Out, because even watching the trailer,

:18:50. > :18:53.I felt very tense. The trailer sells it

:18:54. > :18:56.as a horror movie, and it is. The director, Jordan Peele,

:18:57. > :18:59.described it as a social thriller, so essentially, it is a satire

:19:00. > :19:01.about post-racial America, Daniel Kaluuya is this

:19:02. > :19:06.keen-eyed photographer, Alison Williams is his preppy

:19:07. > :19:09.girlfriend, and they are going to her rich parents'

:19:10. > :19:11.house for the weekend, and he says, they do

:19:12. > :19:14.know I'm black, right? to know, they are incredibly liberal

:19:15. > :19:18.people. My father would have voted

:19:19. > :19:21.for Obama for a third time And when they arrive at the

:19:22. > :19:25.Mansion-like house, that is pretty much

:19:26. > :19:27.the first thing he says - I would have voted for Obama

:19:28. > :19:30.for a third time. He's really sort of friendly

:19:31. > :19:33.and chummy in a way which is, How long has this been

:19:34. > :19:38.going on, this thing? Four months.

:19:39. > :19:44.Four months? Atta boy, better get

:19:45. > :19:54.used to saying that! Please.

:19:55. > :19:56.I'm so sorry. At first, everything seems

:19:57. > :20:11.bonhomie and charming, but there are signs that

:20:12. > :20:13.everything isn't quite right. The housemaid and groundskeeper

:20:14. > :20:16.smile in a way that The friends turn up and they are not

:20:17. > :20:24.just attentive, it's almost as if they are treating the guest

:20:25. > :20:27.as some kind of trophy. We then move into something that

:20:28. > :20:30.Ira Levin, the writer of Stepford Wives and Rosemary's

:20:31. > :20:32.Baby would have recognised. The really clever thing

:20:33. > :20:35.about the film is, it manages the shift between being just

:20:36. > :20:37.about credible and going into something rather different

:20:38. > :20:42.very, very gradually. At it's at its best, I think,

:20:43. > :20:46.when all the horror remains hidden. The way to think of it is

:20:47. > :20:50.as something that starts out as a modern version

:20:51. > :20:52.of Guess Who's Coming To Dinner and then it drifts towards

:20:53. > :20:55.Red State or Greenroom, There is humour all the way through,

:20:56. > :20:59.and there are really dark The satire is really sort

:21:00. > :21:03.of piercing, and then when it needs to turn into something thrilling,

:21:04. > :21:06.shocking, it doesn't hold back. I thought it was a really

:21:07. > :21:13.effective piece of work. I saw it with a full screening room

:21:14. > :21:17.of people who were jumping, shrieking and laughing

:21:18. > :21:19.when they were meant to. It's a really, really smart social

:21:20. > :21:22.thriller/ horror film. Weirdly, it is about the underlying

:21:23. > :21:33.racism of the Liberal elite, It is not a film in which

:21:34. > :21:37.rednecks are the bad guys. The Liberals, who appear to be

:21:38. > :21:40.incredibly egalitarian, but there is something really

:21:41. > :21:42.sinister beneath the surface. As you say, the trailer is a real

:21:43. > :21:48.teaser and will get a lot of people The Salesman, this won the best

:21:49. > :21:54.foreign-language Oscar. Asghar Fahadi, the director,

:21:55. > :22:01.wasn't at the Acadamy Awards, he was boycotting them as a result

:22:02. > :22:05.of Donald Trump's travel ban. This isn't quite on a par

:22:06. > :22:09.with The Salesman. I think this is still a very

:22:10. > :22:12.fine piece of work. Husband-and-wife, part-time actors,

:22:13. > :22:14.putting on the play, She's attacked in the new apartment

:22:15. > :22:18.and his thoughts turned The real-life relationship

:22:19. > :22:25.spills onto the stage. Some people have complained

:22:26. > :22:27.the film is too schematic, that the bridge between the play

:22:28. > :22:31.and real life is too contrived. I thought it slipped from social

:22:32. > :22:34.observation into psychological I think it is a really humane work

:22:35. > :22:42.and you can absolutely believe in the characters

:22:43. > :22:46.and their situations. I think it's a film that

:22:47. > :22:48.blends the personal and the political

:22:49. > :22:54.rather beautifully. It's strangely mysterious

:22:55. > :22:55.and rather heartbreaking. Having heard a few lukewarm reviews,

:22:56. > :22:59.I was very, very impressed by it. That is in a league of its own

:23:00. > :23:07.and it's not as good as that, It is a smart, intelligent,

:23:08. > :23:11.melancholic, insightful drama about people you can

:23:12. > :23:13.really believe in. You mentioned good

:23:14. > :23:14.performances in that. That seems to be the overriding

:23:15. > :23:18.theme of your third film Kristin Stewart is absolutely

:23:19. > :23:25.brilliant in Olivier Assayas's film. It juxtaposes the spiritual

:23:26. > :23:27.and material world. It is literally a search

:23:28. > :23:31.for the afterlife and a search She is a personal shopper

:23:32. > :23:41.for a rich celebrity, so she spends her life

:23:42. > :23:45.going round choosing her wardrobe. However, she is also bereaved,

:23:46. > :23:48.having lost a brother, and she's trying to make

:23:49. > :23:50.contact with her brother Whoever died first would

:23:51. > :24:10.send the other a sign. You could call it that,

:24:11. > :24:24.you could call it a million things. At the beginning, it looks

:24:25. > :24:42.like being a really creepy ghost story, has her walking around

:24:43. > :24:45.the house, attempting Then, she starts getting text

:24:46. > :24:53.messages, and it's almost like her phone is working

:24:54. > :24:55.as a Ouija board. She doesn't know whether the text

:24:56. > :24:58.messages are coming from her brother, another spirit,

:24:59. > :25:00.a real-life stalker, or whether as the film suggests,

:25:01. > :25:03.they are coming from herself, The texts are asking,

:25:04. > :25:06.what are you afraid The phone almost

:25:07. > :25:11.becomes a confidante. As the film slips between the

:25:12. > :25:14.genres, as far as the supernatural stuff is concerned, it starts to be

:25:15. > :25:17.less sure-footed and drifts into territory that

:25:18. > :25:19.could be rather foolish. The reason that holds it together

:25:20. > :25:22.is because of her performance. She is in almost every shot,

:25:23. > :25:25.and it's a really sort She is brilliant, someone

:25:26. > :25:28.who is trying out different identities in the way she tries

:25:29. > :25:32.out different clothes. Somebody caught between this

:25:33. > :25:36.world and the next. For all the flaws of the film,

:25:37. > :25:42.and there are many, she is so good that she just carries it through,

:25:43. > :25:45.and I was mesmerised by her. As I said, I have been a huge fan

:25:46. > :25:49.of hers for a while. I love the Twilight movies,

:25:50. > :25:52.but in this, she is really fine This is a properly

:25:53. > :25:55.brilliant performance. The film is fine, interesting

:25:56. > :26:01.and adventurous, but it is flawed, but I would rather something aimed

:26:02. > :26:04.high and fell slightly short of the mark than just

:26:05. > :26:06.settled for something. This isn't something that

:26:07. > :26:08.you've seen every day. We always like to talk

:26:09. > :26:13.about film of the week. You and I could still be

:26:14. > :26:16.talking about Moonlight, and it's still on, because it won

:26:17. > :26:19.the best picture Oscar. We should perhaps pick

:26:20. > :26:23.out something else. There is another choice, this anime

:26:24. > :26:27.called A Silent In a macro released It is a schoolyard drama dealing

:26:28. > :26:36.with serious subjects - bullying, isolation,

:26:37. > :26:40.loneliness, self harm, suicidal thoughts, disability,

:26:41. > :26:42.in a way that is uplifting. A beautiful score, the animation

:26:43. > :26:47.is really well done, and it is one of those films

:26:48. > :26:51.that is all about learning to look the world in the eye,

:26:52. > :26:53.about learning to apologise It is a film with a lot

:26:54. > :26:58.of crying in it, and I don't I thought it was very

:26:59. > :27:02.touching, very impressive, DVD of the week is, and anyone

:27:03. > :27:16.who follows me on Twitter knows that Very stylish but hugely anti-women,

:27:17. > :27:24.and a difficult watch as a woman, I have to say, I don't think it is,

:27:25. > :27:32.but I understand that point of view. There is an LA art dealer

:27:33. > :27:36.who receives a manuscript from her ex-husband,

:27:37. > :27:38.which is a violent story which seems to have parallels with their life

:27:39. > :27:42.together, and the way in which one reads that story within a story,

:27:43. > :27:46.the fiction within a fiction, I know that a lot of people

:27:47. > :27:53.really don't like it, and I utterly respect

:27:54. > :27:55.that they don't. I have to say that I don't think

:27:56. > :27:59.that it is offensive in the way that some people do, but it is worth

:28:00. > :28:02.flagging up the fact that there are some people who have

:28:03. > :28:05.seen it and thought, this is just a film

:28:06. > :28:08.that is revelling in this violence. In its defence, on the violence

:28:09. > :28:11.issue, there is very little I mean, I think that one

:28:12. > :28:15.of the reasons it is powerful is because its ideas are powerful,

:28:16. > :28:18.and unpleasantly powerful. You're right, you don't

:28:19. > :28:20.actually see that much. But it's so powerfully conveyed that

:28:21. > :28:23.it's deeply unsettling. And that may account for the fact

:28:24. > :28:27.that it is only a 15 as well. It would be less unsettling

:28:28. > :28:30.if it was not as well made It is a 15 because there is very

:28:31. > :28:34.little actually displayed, but you think it is worse

:28:35. > :28:37.because it is tense. I absolutely understand your

:30:23. > :30:31.morning's main news. Gordon Brown says Scotland should be

:30:32. > :30:34.handed a raft of new powers after Brexit to prevent

:30:35. > :30:37.the United Kingdom from splitting. The former Prime Minister will use

:30:38. > :30:40.a speech today to put forward his "third option"

:30:41. > :30:42.for Scotland's future. His intervention comes as the SNP

:30:45. > :30:46.independence referendum, addresses her party

:30:47. > :30:52.conference today. The first British soldiers

:30:59. > :31:06.a total of 800 British soldiers and hundreds of military vehicles

:31:07. > :31:09.will be sent the Baltic state in an attempt to deter

:31:10. > :31:11.Russian aggression. The American surveillance agency,

:31:12. > :31:13.the NSA, has rejected suggestions that British agents spied

:31:14. > :31:16.on Donald Trump, at the request On Wednesday, a White House

:31:17. > :31:20.spokesman discussed an allegation that GCHQ was asked to tap

:31:21. > :31:22.Mr Trump's calls last year. Downing Street says it's been

:31:23. > :31:25.reassured by Washington that the claim

:31:26. > :31:37.will not be repeated. What would be the advantage to the

:31:38. > :31:42.UK government of doing something like that? The cost would be immense

:31:43. > :31:44.in comparison to any value, so of course they wouldn't do it. It would

:31:45. > :31:46.be epically stupid. Schools should teach children how

:31:47. > :31:49.to spot "fake news" and recognise lies on social media, according

:31:50. > :31:52.to a leading education expert. The director of the influential

:31:53. > :31:54.think tank, the OECD, says pupils are becoming too

:31:55. > :31:57.dependent on the internet and need help distinguishing between true

:31:58. > :32:04.and false information online. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson

:33:39. > :33:43.lean meat, fruit and nuts. We have just described you, haven't we Mike?

:33:44. > :33:47.Yes, I am always foraging for meat and nuts. This is why you look so

:33:48. > :33:55.good at this time in the morning. Your secret is out. Thank you,

:33:56. > :33:59.Charlie. What do you have borrowers? Well, it is interesting. A second

:34:00. > :34:02.grand slam in a row would be fantastic, a world record is not

:34:03. > :34:06.something you can lift like trophy, but to beat the record of New

:34:07. > :34:10.Zealand is something that may never be repeated. The world record of

:34:11. > :34:15.consecutive wins Best and Mark yes, we are after 19. They run 18 at the

:34:16. > :34:19.moment. If they can beat Island in Dublin, no easy feat, they will be

:34:20. > :34:22.ahead of New Zealand, who have 18. They are regarded as the world

:34:23. > :34:24.number one. Now there is this potential match in the autumn

:34:25. > :34:26.between the two as well. So, yes, England are going for rugby

:34:27. > :34:29.union history later. If they beat Ireland in Dublin

:34:30. > :34:32.they'll break New Zealand's record of consecutive wins and win a second

:34:33. > :34:36.Six Nations Grand Slam in a row. They've already won the tournament,

:34:37. > :34:47.but Ireland are hoping We have ever East Ryde, with every

:34:48. > :34:52.dive, England get closer to the unprecedented. -- every stride. No

:34:53. > :34:56.nation has won 19 top-level rugby matches in a row. If England can do

:34:57. > :34:59.it it will be a world record constructive from the ashes of their

:35:00. > :35:03.World Cup, a tournament they exited in the group stage. Eddie Jones has

:35:04. > :35:09.coached them from disaster to triumph, what is still some way from

:35:10. > :35:13.his summit. To go from where we go to greatness takes another step of

:35:14. > :35:18.endeavour. It takes greater focus, it takes greater persistence. It

:35:24. > :35:28.mountain. -- emotional output. How do you measure this team's rights?

:35:29. > :35:34.No England side has won back Grand Slams in the professional era. The

:35:35. > :35:40.last Saturday jobs, will Carling's heroes of 1991 and 1992. This run

:35:41. > :35:43.will eclipse out. They have gone to Australia and won 3-0, that has

:35:44. > :35:47.never been done before by an English team. Back to back Grand Slams, a

:35:48. > :35:55.world record run, you know, we are just left in the wake. I think it

:35:56. > :35:58.would be exceptional. "Would Be" The conditional tense. Appropriate,

:35:59. > :36:02.because when England go to Dublin, nothing is certain. For island, this

:36:03. > :36:05.team has been a disappointment, which could yet have one redeeming

:36:06. > :36:09.feature. We are well aware of everything that England are going

:36:10. > :36:13.for tomorrow, but for us, it is St Patrick's Day weekend, we are at

:36:14. > :36:17.home with a very proud record, at home, and we take huge confidence

:36:18. > :36:20.from that. So just one more lift from England. At its May require the

:36:21. > :36:28.biggest yet. So it England do it, they will

:36:29. > :36:30.emerge the women, who trialled in Dublin to seal their own Grand Slam.

:36:31. > :36:34.-- they will emulate in Dublin A victory for either side

:36:35. > :36:37.would have secured the title, but it was England who ran away

:36:38. > :36:40.with it, with 5 tries, It's the first time they've won

:36:41. > :36:48.the competition since 2012. it was always going to be a really,

:36:49. > :36:52.really tough first half. We said all along, it was going to be a game

:36:53. > :36:56.that would probably go to the wire. We got away from the Irish girls at

:36:57. > :37:00.the end a bit, but they were awesome in the first art in particular. We

:37:01. > :37:02.just knew we had to weather the storm. That's defensive bit at the

:37:03. > :37:11.end of the first half was immense. Scotland and Italy is at 12:30 p.m.,

:37:12. > :37:15.then it is France and Wales, then Ireland and England. Now, I do feel

:37:16. > :37:18.guilty this morning. Yesterday morning at around this time, I was

:37:19. > :37:22.sitting in the press room at Cheltenham, and an Irish journalist

:37:23. > :37:26.came up next to me and whispered, Sizing John. And walked off. And I

:37:27. > :37:33.didn't tell anybody, did I? I did put some money on. What did he say?

:37:34. > :37:38.Sizing John. Which is the name of the horse? Yes, which won the gold

:37:39. > :37:46.cup. In case people were wondering. Just to clarify that. That is why I

:37:47. > :37:51.didn't understand it. Anyway, the seven to one shot won the gold cup.

:37:52. > :37:55.with her first entry in the famous race.

:37:56. > :37:57.The favourite, Djakadam, finished in fourth after hitting

:37:58. > :38:00.a fence and Sizing John powered clear to repeat his triumph

:38:01. > :38:05.Jockey Robbie Power, also rode the 2007 Grand National

:38:06. > :38:14.It is unbelievable. To say that I was 25 101 the Grand National, and

:38:15. > :38:20.I'm 35 now, I appreciate this a lot more. It is a fantastic feeling. To

:38:21. > :38:21.be a gold cup winning jockey, that sounds very sweet.

:38:22. > :38:23.Leicester City will face Atletico Madrid,

:38:24. > :38:25.in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

:38:26. > :38:28.The English Champions are the only British side left

:38:29. > :38:31.Atletico have been runners up in the Champions league twice,

:38:32. > :38:35.Meanwhile in the Europa League quarterfinals, Manchester United,

:38:36. > :38:36.will meet the Belgian side Anderlecht.

:38:37. > :38:40.Chelsea can extend their lead at the top of the Premier League,

:38:41. > :38:42.to thirteen points, if they beat Stoke City later.

:38:43. > :38:45.That's one of seven matches taking place today, including an important

:38:46. > :38:49.match for Arsenal at West Brom this lunchtime, as they try to catch

:38:50. > :38:57.They are currently five points off fourth place.

:38:58. > :39:00.In Scotland, if 2nd-placed Aberdeen lose against Hearts this lunchtime,

:39:01. > :39:03.Celtic can claim the title tomorrow if they beat Dundee.

:39:04. > :39:07.There was a big surprise in the Championship last night

:39:08. > :39:09.as promotion-chasing Huddersfield Town were beaten

:39:10. > :39:13.The result means Huddersfield remain six points behind the top

:39:14. > :39:15.two, and moves City out of the relegation places.

:39:16. > :39:18.In the night's other match Reading, moved fourth, after beating sixth

:39:19. > :39:22.Hull FC, moved level on points with Castleford Tigers,

:39:23. > :39:28.at the top of Super League, after beating struggling

:39:29. > :39:32.Leeds Rhinos, joined them on eight points,

:39:33. > :39:35.after they ran in six tries in their 38-14 victory over

:39:36. > :39:41.We're used to seeing birdies, eagles and even the odd albatross

:39:42. > :39:54.Smylie Kaufman was leisurely strolling up to the green,

:39:55. > :39:58.along the edge of the lake, when he suddenly notices something

:39:59. > :40:03.lurking in the rough - he then tells his caddie who also

:40:04. > :40:08.double takes and gives the alligator a wide berth.

:40:09. > :40:11.And then as they gathered their nerves, they might have

:40:12. > :40:17.expected Sir David Attenborough to pop up, to describe this live

:40:18. > :40:23.but the fish might just be a Dory Mackerel, or Danny Fillett,

:40:24. > :40:33.Those were jokes, by the way. Like Rory McIlroy? What happened to the

:40:34. > :40:37.alligator? They gave it a wide berth. It eventually went back to

:40:38. > :40:40.the water. The day before, one of the players actually nudged it back

:40:41. > :40:41.into the water. Now, talking of giving you a fright.

:40:42. > :40:43.It worked for champions Leicester City last season

:40:44. > :40:46.and a growing number of sports clubs are putting their players

:40:47. > :40:49.into the deep freeze to give them the edge.

:40:50. > :40:52.At Fulham, who are on a great run, they strip off and suffer

:40:53. > :40:55.temperatures of -119 degrees several times a week.

:40:56. > :40:59.To see what happens I went to join them.

:41:00. > :41:13.30 seconds to go. It is like something out of a science fiction

:41:14. > :41:19.movie. But this is how they warm up and warm down now, at Fulham. In a

:41:20. > :41:23.deep freeze. After seeing it works so well for Leicester, the

:41:24. > :41:28.champions, last season, full now have a permanent whole-body

:41:29. > :41:31.cryotherapy trainer at their training ground, which they use

:41:32. > :41:34.several times a week. It produces the recovery time between games,

:41:35. > :41:38.reduces the muscle saunas, and we use it before games as a

:41:39. > :41:45.stimulation. It can also help you sleep, with mood. So much training

:41:46. > :41:48.now for the modern footballer. Reactivation classes like this

:41:49. > :41:52.before training has even begun, and then afterwards, the heart rate has

:41:53. > :42:00.gone up, and before the warm-ups, we have the big freeze. OK, gentlemen.

:42:01. > :42:04.It yourselves ready. I first went in with players Tom Kearney and Scott

:42:05. > :42:10.Malone. The coldest place recorded on earth ever has been -89.2. We are

:42:11. > :42:16.going in to -100 19. And you do the seven times a week now? You'd get

:42:17. > :42:24.down to such depths in two stages. Hello! This is only the pre-

:42:25. > :42:31.chamber. It is only minus 60. You can't breathe at first. Then it was

:42:32. > :42:36.into the main, and coldest chamber, for two whole minutes. I also went

:42:37. > :42:40.in here with goalkeeper David button. It feels like knives,

:42:41. > :42:45.doesn't it? It feels like knives in your legs and arms. So in this

:42:46. > :42:48.controlled environment, the body is sent into a state of shock, which

:42:49. > :42:53.stimulates our natural recovery mode. And it is believed this is

:42:54. > :42:57.beneficial for the immune system and energy levels which the players say

:42:58. > :43:03.the last two days. You are relieved to get out at the start, but I think

:43:04. > :43:07.if it is the day before a match, you feel a lot better, yeah. Definitely

:43:08. > :43:11.found it a lot fresher going into training, and into games. You don't

:43:12. > :43:15.get frostbite, because stay here the two minutes. The mindnumbing

:43:16. > :43:19.temperatures are created by gas, so it is a very dry cold. In countries

:43:20. > :43:24.were started, the uses extend beyond sport. This is mainstream practice

:43:25. > :43:30.in Poland for rheumatoid arthritis. Any inflammatory pathology, multiple

:43:31. > :43:33.sclerosis we have seen. There is the reason, with all the reported

:43:34. > :43:37.feedback about sleep, why this couldn't be used for people with

:43:38. > :43:42.insomnia. Sleep can come later. I came out feeling the rush. It is a

:43:43. > :43:46.great feeling when you come out. You feel rejuvenated and alive, don't

:43:47. > :43:52.you? More flexible. Hormone release, is it? It has happened, suddenly.

:43:53. > :43:57.You feel like you have run, almost to be human. At the end, my

:43:58. > :44:05.heartrate variability had gone from 74 to 92. A real improvement, badly.

:44:06. > :44:07.Now, though, time to get warm. Where is your dressing gown? I feel ready

:44:08. > :44:14.to bet. Apparently it is the same effect if

:44:15. > :44:17.you released a bunch of lions at the ground and cut them to chase the

:44:18. > :44:21.players. That obviously might be dangerous. This is a more controlled

:44:22. > :44:24.way of giving them that shock, that fear, to stimulant all those nice,

:44:25. > :44:30.beneficial things. Did it have an impact?? Yes, I slipped deeper. For

:44:31. > :44:35.two days, I did feel like they ran a six mile run, actually, I did run a

:44:36. > :44:39.six mile run and I was three minutes quicker than I normally. I mean, it

:44:40. > :44:44.was under conditions, as well. And I stay, I'd do so many hills. It

:44:45. > :44:49.wasn't scientific. Well, we will see later on. And if you have had, what

:44:50. > :44:53.is it called? Cryotherapy. If you have a cryotherapy experience,

:44:54. > :44:56.sharer to a bus. Obviously it is not something you can try out home, you

:44:57. > :44:58.have to do it in controlled conditions. Do not jump into your

:44:59. > :45:11.freezer. Not cold enough for any cryotherapy

:45:12. > :45:16.this weekend, a mild weekend in prospect but unsettled, a lot of

:45:17. > :45:20.cloud around. For many it will be quite breezy and some rain at times

:45:21. > :45:24.but not all the time and not for everyone, many areas in the east

:45:25. > :45:28.won't see that much rain but further west you will be exposed to this

:45:29. > :45:32.pipeline of cloud ploughing across the frantic so there will be

:45:33. > :45:37.outbreaks at times, much of it quite light and patchy. A different type

:45:38. > :45:41.of whether to start the day in Northern Scotland, a bright start

:45:42. > :45:45.here, some sunshine with a few showers but cold enough for ice UIC

:45:46. > :45:48.stretches but southern Scotland into Northern Ireland, north-west

:45:49. > :45:55.England, more cloud but fairly mild, double digits even by 8am. A bit of

:45:56. > :46:00.brightness for north-east England, may be used angry, the further west

:46:01. > :46:04.Uecomm, a lot of cloud to start the day, outbreaks of patchy rain, mild

:46:05. > :46:10.but fairly breezy. Through the day we will see a lot of cloud, patchy

:46:11. > :46:13.rain in the west. The best chance of brightness in eastern Scotland and

:46:14. > :46:17.eastern England and it will feel mild here. Through the afternoon

:46:18. > :46:20.more persistent rain in Northern Ireland, south-west Scotland,

:46:21. > :46:24.northern England and the Wales as well. A mixture of sunny spells and

:46:25. > :46:29.showers for Northern Scotland, chilly here, but further south, mild

:46:30. > :46:34.especially if things brighten up where you are. Six Nations this

:46:35. > :46:37.weekend, a big week end, matches in Edinburgh, Paris and Dublin, not

:46:38. > :46:42.much going on with the weather, a lot of cloud and maybe patchy rain

:46:43. > :46:46.at times. Heavy rain this evening in Northern Ireland, Scotland and

:46:47. > :46:50.northern England. To the south of that, cloudy conditions, the odd

:46:51. > :46:55.spot of drizzle, fairly breezy and for the majority it will be a mild

:46:56. > :46:59.night. Tomorrow in many ways we do it all again. Some rain especially

:47:00. > :47:02.in the west, heavy and persistent rain in Northern Ireland, parts of

:47:03. > :47:07.Scotland and northern England. Further south, not much rain, even

:47:08. > :47:10.some brightness at times, especially towards the south-east and that will

:47:11. > :47:17.lift temperatures to the mid-teens and cooler towards the north-west.

:47:18. > :47:21.Gradually into next week, a change we lose the mild weather and we

:47:22. > :47:23.bring in cooler weather from the west but it will still be pretty

:47:24. > :47:30.unsettled. Back to thank you, Ben. Bad news for next

:47:31. > :47:33.week. We will be back at 7am with the headlines but now time for Click

:47:34. > :47:55.with Spencer Kelly. Get ready, your Indian experience

:47:56. > :48:13.starts now. As soon as you step off the plane,

:48:14. > :48:20.India hits you like a big, hot wall of noise. It is everything you ever

:48:21. > :48:27.imagined it to be. It is life turned up to 11. The first thing you'll

:48:28. > :48:33.will be the traffic. It's always the traffic. Is that it just to kind of

:48:34. > :48:40.step out and... OK, this looks like a gap -- is the tip. The sound is

:48:41. > :48:44.deafening. Everyone's on King. For 70 years this country has been

:48:45. > :48:48.independent of British rule and the cities that have sprung up around

:48:49. > :48:56.the old colonial grandeur seemed chaotic, but they do kind of work...

:48:57. > :49:02.Kind of. -- seem. And India has found a niche in the wider world.

:49:03. > :49:08.Half of its 1.2 billion people are aged 35 or under. Maybe that's why

:49:09. > :49:12.it's known for its IT know-how, its outsourcing. And the bosses of some

:49:13. > :49:17.of the biggest tech companies in the world are Indian. But it hasn't had

:49:18. > :49:22.as much luck in taking over the world of consumer technology. After

:49:23. > :49:26.all, how many Indian tech brands can you name? The trick is, although

:49:27. > :49:35.there is a middle-class consumers here willing to buy brands, it's not

:49:36. > :49:40.actually that big or that rich. We're here to find out how India is

:49:41. > :49:42.preparing for its future. And let me tell you, it is reaching for the

:49:43. > :49:55.stars. In 2013, India became the fourth

:49:56. > :50:00.spacefaring nation to launch a probe into orbit around Mars. And unlike

:50:01. > :50:06.those who came before them, they did it on their first attempt. The

:50:07. > :50:10.Indian Space Research Organisation, Isro, has been gaining a reputation

:50:11. > :50:16.for doing tons of successful space stuff on a shoestring budget. Their

:50:17. > :50:21.Mars mission came in at just $74 million. That's less than it cost to

:50:22. > :50:25.make the film Gravity. And in February this year, they made

:50:26. > :50:31.history again by launching a record 104 satellites on a single rocket.

:50:32. > :50:35.It could just be that India has created the perfect combination of

:50:36. > :50:39.big brains with big space experience, but a mentality for

:50:40. > :50:45.doing things on the cheap. Just the sort of place you might go if you

:50:46. > :50:48.wanted to, say, land a robot on the moon for the space equivalent of

:50:49. > :50:59.small change. How confident are you that this will work? LAUGHTER

:51:00. > :51:04.welcome to the earthbound HQ of Team Indus, one of a handful of start-ups

:51:05. > :51:08.competing for the Google Lunar XPRIZE, that's $20 million for the

:51:09. > :51:15.first commercial company to land a rover on the Moon.

:51:16. > :51:22.December, 2017, blast of! The Team Indus spacecraft goes into two days

:51:23. > :51:27.of Earth orbit and then, boom, 4.5 days to the Moon. 12 days of

:51:28. > :51:31.spiralling down to the surface and, if all goes well, out comes the

:51:32. > :51:37.rover, travels half a kilometre, sends back HD video and winds the

:51:38. > :51:44.prize. What could possibly go wrong? Team Rahul Narayan is the co-founder

:51:45. > :51:48.of Team Indus and he has been here since the very start of the project

:51:49. > :51:56.way back in 2010. At that point you had no idea how you would achieve

:51:57. > :51:59.it? Yes, I googled and figured out what Wikipedia had to say about

:52:00. > :52:07.landing on the mood. You did an internet search on how to land on

:52:08. > :52:11.the moon? Absolutely. Did it have any useful information? Yes. It said

:52:12. > :52:14.there had been 85 attempts and I think every second attempt failed to

:52:15. > :52:18.the moon. Six years later there are around 100 people working very hard

:52:19. > :52:23.here and it certainly looks like they know their space stuff. Star

:52:24. > :52:29.Wars in particular. Even the toilets are appropriately labelled. And they

:52:30. > :52:33.built themselves all the things a serious space company should have,

:52:34. > :52:40.like a Mission control room, a model lander that makes smoke, and a

:52:41. > :52:47.simulated lunar surface complete with a rover to go in it. Just like

:52:48. > :52:50.national space agencies, testing every component and simulating every

:52:51. > :52:53.stage of the mission is a huge part of what they're doing here. We're

:52:54. > :52:57.making sure we're doing everything right, we're just not making it

:52:58. > :53:00.fancy. We're going to make it frugal, specific to the mission, but

:53:01. > :53:05.there's absolutely no corners that we're cutting. And, to look at it

:53:06. > :53:10.from a more philosophical way, we have one shot to wind this. We don't

:53:11. > :53:18.have a flight spare, so if one blows up we can go and fly the other, we

:53:19. > :53:22.have to get this right. Team Indus is one of five start-ups from around

:53:23. > :53:25.the world that have secured launch contracts for their rovers. While

:53:26. > :53:29.they can't say for sure, they think they'll launch before any other team

:53:30. > :53:32.and so perhaps be the first team to land and wind! Well, that's except

:53:33. > :53:36.for the fact that to save costs they've had to sell some of their

:53:37. > :53:39.spare launch weight to a competitor rover. Japan's Team Hakuto will

:53:40. > :53:45.onboard too. You're both going to get to the moon at the same time.

:53:46. > :53:49.Yes. How is that going to work, it is whoever touches down first and

:53:50. > :53:54.who has the fastest rover, it's going to be crazy? In a manner of

:53:55. > :53:59.speaking, yes. What do you expect to happen? It's a race, it's going to

:54:00. > :54:02.be a very interesting race and once we touched down and both the rovers

:54:03. > :54:09.are deployed, let's see which one makes 500 metres first. I would so

:54:10. > :54:13.put a laser gun on yours. All of that assumes of course that the

:54:14. > :54:17.rovers make it to the moon in the first place. Space exploration is a

:54:18. > :54:20.risky business and when it goes wrong it tends to go really wrong.

:54:21. > :54:23.Six years, hundreds of thousands of hours of effort and millions spent.

:54:24. > :54:27.There's certainly a lot riding on getting things right. You mitigate

:54:28. > :54:30.the peak pieces and then you start mitigating the smaller risks and

:54:31. > :54:35.then at the end of the day, absolutely, one small wrong piece of

:54:36. > :54:36.code that somehow made its way through could kill the entire

:54:37. > :54:45.mission. There is a word here in India that I

:54:46. > :55:00.think describes Team Indus's low cost make do approach. Jugaad. I've

:55:01. > :55:06.come to the centre of Mumbai to Dharavi, Asia's second-largest slum.

:55:07. > :55:11.Here in its tiny alleyways, jugaad is all around as a desperately poor

:55:12. > :55:15.population reuses as much as is physically possible. Built by

:55:16. > :55:20.workers who flocked to the city of hundreds of years, some of the

:55:21. > :55:24.houses here date back to the 1840s. Up ahead there's a pile of shredded

:55:25. > :55:29.denim which they use for fuel, they burn it to fuel the kilns, just like

:55:30. > :55:34.they burn a lot of stuff for fuel here. There is smoke everywhere

:55:35. > :55:45.here, you can really tell the air-quality is very poor. You just

:55:46. > :55:48.have to take a few lung fulls and it starts to burn the back of your

:55:49. > :55:52.throat, it makes your highs sting. The smoke is a necessary evil for

:55:53. > :55:55.the people of Dharavi, and like most of the developing world, pollution

:55:56. > :56:03.has been the price India is paying for a booming economy. The smog that

:56:04. > :56:07.gives Mumbai its spectacular sunsets has also made it the fifth most

:56:08. > :56:12.polluted mega city in the world. And when the sun disappears before it

:56:13. > :56:21.hits the horizon, you can well believe it. In November, 2016, the

:56:22. > :56:25.Indian government declared the air pollution in Delhi a national

:56:26. > :56:31.emergency, with harmful pollutants more than 16 times the safe limit.

:56:32. > :56:36.And it's not just caused by all that traffic. So where does it come from?

:56:37. > :56:45.I was surprised to find out a lot of it comes from diesel generators. The

:56:46. > :56:49.electricity in India is an very reliable but plenty of businesses

:56:50. > :56:53.need guaranteed power so they have their own individual generators that

:56:54. > :56:57.fire up whenever the electricity goes down and that means there are

:56:58. > :57:01.loads of exhaust pipes like this all over the city which regularly belch

:57:02. > :57:12.out all kinds of unpleasant stuff. Hello. Here in Bangalore, we've come

:57:13. > :57:20.across a small project to capture the soot and turn it into art.

:57:21. > :57:27.What we have built is we have built a retrofit device that attaches to

:57:28. > :57:31.the exhaust pipe of the chimneys and this can be attached to pretty much

:57:32. > :57:35.any exhaust pipe, irrespective of the age or type of engine you are

:57:36. > :57:42.linked and it captures practically whatever matter comes out of it.

:57:43. > :57:45.Once you capture matter that is substantially carbon, which is like

:57:46. > :57:49.the basis of everything that exists in the world, at present we recycle

:57:50. > :57:57.it into inks, which we believe is something used by practically

:57:58. > :58:07.everybody on the planet. The headquarters of Graviky Labs is a

:58:08. > :58:11.mix of art studio and mad laboratory, the perfect combination

:58:12. > :58:21.if you ask me. Their so-called air Inc does have a few restrictions. It

:58:22. > :58:24.will only ever come in black and at the moment it's not good enough

:58:25. > :58:34.quality to be used in printers. Graviky is giving it to artists, who

:58:35. > :58:36.are finding their own uses for it. Painting and screenprinting, for

:58:37. > :58:40.example, for use on clothes and bags. And while the ink may only

:58:41. > :58:44.have limited uses at present, Nikhil insists it is still better to put

:58:45. > :58:47.the carbon to good use rather than just collect it and dump it. There

:58:48. > :58:51.are a lot of technologies that have captured pollution in one way or

:58:52. > :58:54.another. If you don't recycle it you are actually leaving it for future

:58:55. > :58:59.generations. I'm afraid that's all we have time

:59:00. > :59:03.for in the shortcut of Click, the full-length version is on iPlayer

:59:04. > :59:06.for you to watch right now and there's loads of extra photos from

:59:07. > :59:10.our trip to India on Twitter at: Thanks for watching and we'll see

:59:11. > :00:20.you soon. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:00:21. > :00:23.with Charlie Stayt and Tina Daheley. A third way for Scotland's future

:00:24. > :00:27.as Gordon Brown sets out a plan The former Prime Minister will say

:00:28. > :00:33.a new kind of federal home rule is needed for the United Kingdom,

:00:34. > :00:56.to avoid years of bitter division. Good morning. It is Saturday

:00:57. > :01:00.Saturday. Also ahead. More than 100 British troops head to Estonia in an

:01:01. > :01:05.attempt to deter Russian aggression. A US you security chief dismisses

:01:06. > :01:09.claims that GCHQ carried out surveillance of Donald Trump as

:01:10. > :01:13.nonsense. In the sport a world record and a Grand Slam is there for

:01:14. > :01:19.England's men if they can do what the women did and beat Ireland to

:01:20. > :01:26.win their Six Nations trophy. Hello. This is only the...

:01:27. > :01:30.Prechamber. It is only minus 60! Boy, did it get colder. I have been

:01:31. > :01:33.to cool off in a deep freeze to see how it could improve sporting

:01:34. > :01:40.performance. And Ben has the weather. Good morning. It is an

:01:41. > :01:45.unsettled weekend. We'll have cloudy weather and breezy weather, but

:01:46. > :01:49.rainfall amounts will vary. Find out how much rain you're going to get in

:01:50. > :01:53.15 minutes. Good morning. First, Gordon Brown says Scotland should be

:01:54. > :01:59.handed a raft of new powers after Brexit to prevent the United Kingdom

:02:00. > :02:02.from splitting. The former Prime Minister will use a speech today to

:02:03. > :02:06.put forward his third option for Scotland's future. His intervention

:02:07. > :02:12.comes as Nicola Sturgeon addresses her party conference today. Our

:02:13. > :02:15.political Iain Watson reports. Nicola Sturgeon has been saying what

:02:16. > :02:20.her members and supporters want to hear. That a second referendum in

:02:21. > :02:25.Scottish independence should happen before Britain leaves the EU. But

:02:26. > :02:28.she knows she has to broaden her support beyond her power base so she

:02:29. > :02:32.will argue her call for a referendum isn't just about standing up for

:02:33. > :02:35.Scotland, it is about democracy. When Nicola Sturgeon takes to this

:02:36. > :02:39.stage later today, she will repeat her demand for a second independence

:02:40. > :02:45.referendum. But it looks like Theresa May isn't for turning. The

:02:46. > :02:50.SNP see their call for a referendum as a win-win because either Theresa

:02:51. > :02:56.May gives in in their time scale or they believe that her refusal to do

:02:57. > :03:00.so will help them build for for independence in the slightly longer

:03:01. > :03:03.term. I think Theresa May trying to deny the Scottish people their say

:03:04. > :03:06.on this is something she will have cause to regret, but I think the

:03:07. > :03:09.longer Theresa May tries to deny the people of Scotland their say, the

:03:10. > :03:15.better it is for the campaign for independence. This is everyone's

:03:16. > :03:19.flag, everyone's country. Everyone's culture and everyone's street. This

:03:20. > :03:23.former Prime Minister was credited with saving the Union, when he

:03:47. > :03:50.from Nicola Sturgeon's prospective the choice for voters should be

:04:04. > :04:06.arrived in Estonia as part of the largest deployment of British troops

:04:07. > :04:10.to Europe since the end of the Cold War. A total of 800 British soldiers

:04:11. > :04:15.and hundreds of military vehicles will be sent to the Baltic state as

:04:16. > :04:23.Nato forces attempt to deter Russian aggression. Jonathan Beale reports.

:04:24. > :04:27.The British Army has been preparing for this moment, these tanks took

:04:28. > :04:33.part in a final exercise in Germany ahead of the move east towards

:04:34. > :04:38.Russia. And they're now among 300 military vehicles that have been

:04:39. > :04:46.loaded on to a ferry destined for the small Baltic state offest tonia.

:04:47. > :04:49.-- of Estonia. This is the start of the biggest deployment since the end

:04:50. > :04:53.of the Cold War that will see British troops with tanks and armour

:04:54. > :04:59.deployed on the eastern flank of Nato ready to reassure our allies,

:05:00. > :05:05.ready to stand up for the collective defence of Nato and to deter any

:05:06. > :05:09.possible Russian aggression. The first British troops are trained and

:05:10. > :05:20.ready to go, not just alert to any military threat, but also from other

:05:21. > :05:24.potential provocations. Do you think it is the Russians playing games and

:05:25. > :05:29.using social media and fake news and all that stuff? It is a mixture of

:05:30. > :05:35.stuff. I hear about cyber threat and all that stuff, but again we've

:05:36. > :05:39.trained for every eventuality. We know how to protect ourselves. Are

:05:40. > :05:43.you worried about anything? There is a credible threat over the border,

:05:44. > :05:47.but I think we're credible deterrent. These are the first of

:05:48. > :05:50.800 British troops who will be arriving in Estonia over the next

:05:51. > :05:55.few weeks and it is just the start of what could be a long, open-ended

:05:56. > :06:00.deployment to deter Russian aggression. They're not xwpting to

:06:01. > :06:04.go to war, but these soldiers will still be caught up in the rising

:06:05. > :06:10.tensions between Russia and the West. They are not alone though. The

:06:11. > :06:13.US, Canada and Germany are also sending their troops to reinforce

:06:14. > :06:23.Nato's eastern flank. The American surveillance agency,

:06:24. > :06:26.the NSA rejected suggestions that British agents spied on Donald Trump

:06:27. > :06:32.at the request of President Obama's administration. On Wednesday, a

:06:33. > :06:35.White House spokesman discussed an allegation that GCHQ was asked to

:06:36. > :06:41.tap Mr Trump's calls last year. Jewel jewel reports. Tulip Mazumdar

:06:42. > :06:45.reports. Two strong leaders with many differences. They discussed

:06:46. > :06:49.immigration, trade and Nato, and then the thorny issue of wire

:06:50. > :06:57.tapping came up. At least we have something in common perhaps.

:06:58. > :07:01.LAUGHTER It was an awkward joke that didn't

:07:02. > :07:07.seem to particularly amuse the Chancellor. The US admitted in 2015

:07:08. > :07:11.to tapping Angela Merkel's phone, there is no evidence supporting

:07:12. > :07:19.Donald Trump's similar claims and today he distanced himself from

:07:20. > :07:22.suggestions by his own press secretary that British intelligence

:07:23. > :07:27.could have been involved. I didn't make an opinion on it. That was a

:07:28. > :07:31.statement made by a talented lawyer on Fox. So you shouldn't k talking

:07:32. > :07:35.to me, you should be talking to Fox. Downing Street has been assured the

:07:36. > :07:40.US will not repeat the claims. In an exclusive interview with the BBC,

:07:41. > :07:44.America's equivalent agency to GCHQ had this to say about the

:07:45. > :07:47.allegations of UK involvement. What would be the advantage to the UK

:07:48. > :07:52.Government of doing something like that? The cost would be immense in

:07:53. > :07:56.comparison to any value. So, of course, they wouldn't do it. It

:07:57. > :08:01.would be end I canically stupid. Arriving in Florida with his family

:08:02. > :08:04.for the weekend, the president will no doubt be reflecting on yet

:08:05. > :08:11.another controversial week in office.

:08:12. > :08:14.US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, arrives in China today

:08:15. > :08:20.for the final leg of his tour of East Asia which has been dominated

:08:21. > :08:24.by anxieties over North Korea nuclear and ballistic missile

:08:25. > :08:31.programmes. Yesterday, Mr Tillerson warned Pyongyang that a military

:08:32. > :08:37.response would be on the table if it threatened South Korea. President

:08:38. > :08:41.Trump tweeted that North Korea was behaving badly. Schools should teach

:08:42. > :08:51.children how to recognise lies on social media. The director of the

:08:52. > :09:01.think-tank the OECD pupils are becoming to reliant on the internet.

:09:02. > :09:06.New research suggest the idyllic imimage people have the countryside

:09:07. > :09:09.is mask social isolation. A report says official statistics are often

:09:10. > :09:20.skewed towards gathering information about people living in towns and

:09:21. > :09:23.cities as Daniel Boettcher reports. Sheila Wallis go to this leisure

:09:24. > :09:28.centre in Withernsea three times a week. She was referred there by a

:09:29. > :09:31.health trainer and she is significant improvements, but

:09:32. > :09:35.getting there takes an hour by bus. A lot of people don't drive so

:09:36. > :09:39.having the transport is essential because if it wasn't, I couldn't

:09:40. > :09:45.come here. Nearly ten million people in England live in areas defined as

:09:46. > :09:49.rural. Current measures show that overall their health is better than

:09:50. > :09:53.those living in towns, but a new report says the statistics can mask

:09:54. > :09:56.pockets of deprivation and poor health, that the age demographic is

:09:57. > :10:03.changing and it is often difficult to access health and care services.

:10:04. > :10:06.The study says 20% of people in rural areas live more than

:10:07. > :10:14.to-and-a-half miles from a GP surgery, compared with just 2% in

:10:15. > :10:17.urban areas and that almost 15% of rural households living in relative

:10:18. > :10:20.poverty after housing costs are taken into account. The report says

:10:21. > :10:24.that not enough is known about the health and well-being of people

:10:25. > :10:28.living in the countryside. We have been concerned for sometime that

:10:29. > :10:31.official Government statistics in other areas don't effectively

:10:32. > :10:34.capture the needs of rural areas and that's not just the remotest places,

:10:35. > :10:39.it is the rural areas on the fringes of our towns and cities. The

:10:40. > :10:42.Government says it wants everyone to get high quality healthcare

:10:43. > :10:50.regardless of where they live and it is targeting recruitment of new GPs

:10:51. > :10:54.to the areas that need them most. Prince William and the Duchess of

:10:55. > :11:00.Cambridge will meet victims of the attack on the Bataclan concert hall

:11:01. > :11:06.in Paris today. Yesterday the royal couple met French President,

:11:07. > :11:10.Francois Hollande. This report by our royal correspondent, Nicholas

:11:11. > :11:15.Witchell, contains flashing images. Behind the glamour of a black-tie

:11:16. > :11:19.dinner at the British Embassy, lies a serious purpose. Visits like this

:11:20. > :11:25.one by William and Catherine to Paris are done at the behes of the

:11:26. > :11:29.Foreign Office and the Royal Family are being deployed to Europe.

:11:30. > :11:33.Nothing too obviously political, but in a concerted effort to remind

:11:34. > :11:38.Europe of what Britain contributes to the Continent and how nothing

:11:39. > :11:44.need change. William read a message from the Queen. The ties between our

:11:45. > :11:48.nations have stood the test of time and will I'm sure continue to

:11:49. > :11:54.prosper. I hope you have a most enjoyable and memorable evening.

:11:55. > :11:56.Signed Elizabeth R. Earlier in a speech, William talked of the deep

:11:57. > :12:02.friendship between the United Kingdom and France, forged as he put

:12:03. > :12:05.it in sweat and blood and... This partnership will continue despite

:12:06. > :12:11.Britain's recent decision to leave the European Union. The depth of our

:12:12. > :12:18.friendship and the breadth of our co-operation will not change. Today,

:12:19. > :12:21.among other engagements the duke and duchess will meet survivors from the

:12:22. > :12:25.Bataclan massacre of November 2015. One thing William will not be doing

:12:26. > :12:29.on this visit official visit to Paris is to go to the place where

:12:30. > :12:34.his mother died in that car accident 20 years ago this year. The theme of

:12:35. > :12:40.this visit is very much to look to the future.

:12:41. > :12:43.The St Patrick's Day celebrations continued overnight across the

:12:44. > :12:49.world. Streets and landmarks were lit up in green all over the globe

:12:50. > :12:52.including the leaning tower of Pisa and the Christ the Redeemer in Rio

:12:53. > :12:58.de Janeiro. Those are the main stories this morning. It is 7.12am.

:12:59. > :13:03.It is the largest deployment of British troops in Europe since the

:13:04. > :13:09.end of the Cold War and as the first of 800 soldiers arrive in Estonia,

:13:10. > :13:16.eyes will turn to Moscow to see how rid spond. Sir Michael Fallon says

:13:17. > :13:19.it is part of a longer term commitment to deter Russian

:13:20. > :13:23.aggression. Paul Rogers is a security and diplomacy expert from

:13:24. > :13:28.the University of Bradford and joins us now. Gorge. Put us in some kind

:13:29. > :13:32.of context for us. Well, let's look at it from both sides. If you take

:13:33. > :13:36.it from the western side, they're concerned about Russian aggression.

:13:37. > :13:40.There is the involvement in Syria, the take-over over of Crimea and the

:13:41. > :13:44.problems in eastern Ukraine and this see this as a defence pact which

:13:45. > :13:47.many people support. Turn the whole thing round from the Russian point

:13:48. > :13:50.of view and what 30 years ago, they were part of the Soviet Union, they

:13:51. > :13:54.were central to it and they lost that. They sort of lost an empire

:13:55. > :13:58.overnight. They feel they were treated with contempt then in the

:13:59. > :14:03.1990s and Putin plays on that successfully. You're in the position

:14:04. > :14:06.of the Russians seeing Nato getting closer to them and we see Russia as

:14:07. > :14:11.a threat. What makes it extraordinary you have Donald Trump

:14:12. > :14:14.wanting to make America great and Vladimir Putin wanting to make

:14:15. > :14:17.Russia great. This is a potential source of tension. It doesn't have

:14:18. > :14:22.to go that way, but you have to be careful on these occasions. This

:14:23. > :14:27.might be seen as provocative by Russia. What is their response

:14:28. > :14:32.likely to be? I think their response will not be to involve themselves in

:14:33. > :14:39.any further adventure overseas. They will say this is proof that Nato is

:14:40. > :14:42.out to get us. Russia is still a significant military power. It has

:14:43. > :14:47.nuclear weapons, but at the same time, you know, the Russian economy

:14:48. > :14:52.is half of that Britain, let alone Nato combined and it is a fairly

:14:53. > :14:56.weak country economically. So Putin is a brilliant card player, in many

:14:57. > :15:01.ways, but to see it as a great threat is probably an over reaction,

:15:02. > :15:09.but the big danger is when you have two states, two enforcers in crisis,

:15:10. > :15:12.things can go wrong. Those are the kinds of things which can happen

:15:13. > :15:17.when there is a high state of tension and this is where diplomacy

:15:18. > :15:20.is needed. One dimension is political. On a practical level,

:15:21. > :15:27.where you have an increase in the number of troops, in a place, and we

:15:28. > :15:31.heard one of the servicemen talked about a credible threat across the

:15:32. > :15:35.border. The defence secretary said this is about deterring possible

:15:36. > :15:42.military aggression. Now, something could happen. That's always the

:15:43. > :15:46.danger, isn't it? A minor incident could become something more. This is

:15:47. > :15:51.where you have to be careful. It requires cool heads on both sides,

:15:52. > :15:56.but the international political situation with Putin in Moscow and

:15:57. > :16:00.basically Trump in Washington, this is difficult. Now, Trump is the

:16:01. > :16:03.maverick in a sense because we don't know what his real reaction to

:16:04. > :16:07.Russia is. He is saying some things and doing other things. It is the

:16:08. > :16:13.uncertainty which I think is tricky and I don't think any threat of a

:16:14. > :16:18.major war, but you could slip into a crisis and you have got to have cool

:16:19. > :16:24.heads to avoid this. Russia wants to scale back its overseas deployments.

:16:25. > :16:27.It is finding that Syria and Crimea are costing it an arm and a leg and

:16:28. > :16:31.it doesn't have that money, but Putin is playing it to show that

:16:32. > :16:35.Russia is a major country again. When we talk about aggression, it is

:16:36. > :16:42.not just military aggression, it is a cyber threat. Yes. That's true,

:16:43. > :16:49.but they will say well, we interfered in the Ukraine election

:16:50. > :16:53.to make sure that a proleader didn't stay in power. That's part of the

:16:54. > :16:59.new war we're in. But this is where you need, you need political wisdom.

:17:00. > :17:02.Putin is not easy to handle. It is a really tricky problem, but what you

:17:03. > :17:08.do not want to do is do what he wants you to do which is to up the

:17:09. > :17:10.ante. I wouldn't like to be a British politician in charge at the

:17:11. > :17:14.present because the way forward is tricky, but at least caution, I

:17:15. > :17:25.think, is called for. Thank you very much.

:17:26. > :17:28.It is 7.17am. The main stories: The former Prime Minister Gordon Brown,

:17:29. > :17:32.will call for greater powers to be given to Scotland's Government as he

:17:33. > :17:36.warns of the danger of independence. American surveillance agency, the

:17:37. > :17:44.NSA, rejected claims GCHQ was asked to spy on Donald Trump calling it

:17:45. > :17:47.nonsense. Let's find out what's happening with

:17:48. > :17:53.the weather this morning. Here is Ben. Good morning, Ben. I had Tina.

:17:54. > :17:57.Hi Charlie. For most of us, not a particularly inspiring start to the

:17:58. > :18:03.day. This is the view that many are waking up to including our Weather

:18:04. > :18:07.Watcher Blue Sky Bob. Not much blue sky at the moment in Kent. Quite

:18:08. > :18:11.mild and breezy and there will be some rain at times particularly in

:18:12. > :18:17.the west. It is because of this string of cloud, a real pipeline

:18:18. > :18:22.ploughing its way across the Atlantic. It is places in the west,

:18:23. > :18:25.most exposed to the westerly winds, where you're going to see most of

:18:26. > :18:30.the rain today. The further east you are, the chance of seeing a little

:18:31. > :18:33.bit of brightness. A different sort of weather altogether across

:18:34. > :18:38.Northern Scotlandment here cold enough for icy stretches and

:18:39. > :18:42.sunshine and wintry showers, for Northern Ireland and north-west

:18:43. > :18:45.gland, a cloudy start. Maybe breaks in the cloud and brightness across

:18:46. > :18:48.north-east England with shelter from the Pennines and through East

:18:49. > :18:51.Anglia, the Midlands, Wales and the south-west, generally a lot of

:18:52. > :18:55.cloud, some spots of patchy rain and drizzle. It is mild. It is breezy as

:18:56. > :18:59.well, but not quite as windy as it was yesterday. And really the

:19:00. > :19:04.pattern for the day is that western areas will see rain at times and

:19:05. > :19:07.thick cloud and murky conditions. Further east, the better chance of

:19:08. > :19:11.seeing some brightness and Northern Scotland different weather. Sunny

:19:12. > :19:14.spells, showers, wintry over high ground and on the cool sidement

:19:15. > :19:17.further south, it will be mild and if things brighten up towards the

:19:18. > :19:22.South East we could see 15 or 16 Celsius. A big day in the Six

:19:23. > :19:25.Nations and for the fixtures in Edinburgh, Paris and Dublin,

:19:26. > :19:30.generally a lot of cloud. Generally dry, maybe just the odd spot of rain

:19:31. > :19:33.at times. This evening and tonight, southern areas will stay pretty

:19:34. > :19:36.cloudy and quite murky. Drizzly in places, but largely dry. However,

:19:37. > :19:40.some heavier rain will move through Northern Ireland and Scotland and

:19:41. > :19:44.into Northern England. Generally a mild night. Just a little bit chilly

:19:45. > :19:48.across the far north of Scotland. Tomorrow is very similar. Cloudy,

:19:49. > :19:52.the best chance of any brightness in the east. We have this lump of rain

:19:53. > :19:56.moving through Northern Ireland and Southern Scotland and into Northern

:19:57. > :19:59.England and Wales. To the north of that, things will brighten up and it

:20:00. > :20:02.will turn cooler. To the south of that, generally a lot of cloud and

:20:03. > :20:07.still mild with temperatures of 15 Celsius. Charlie, Tina, back to you.

:20:08. > :20:12.Ben, thank you very much. We will look through the front pages. The

:20:13. > :20:15.Daily Telegraph. Many of the papers taking the images from the Royal

:20:16. > :20:20.trip to Paris. If I can get hold of the paper properly. The Duchess of

:20:21. > :20:25.Cambridge at the main event last night. Brexit more important to

:20:26. > :20:29.voters than keeping the United Kingdom together. That's according

:20:30. > :20:34.to a poll for The Daily Telegraph. More pictures of the couple in the

:20:35. > :20:38.Express as well. And also showing Kate drinking a pint of Guinness!

:20:39. > :20:41.The front page of the Express focussing on a different story.

:20:42. > :20:47.Drink tea to fight dementia is their headline. Drinking three cups of tea

:20:48. > :20:50.a day could cut the risk of dementia by half, that's according to new

:20:51. > :20:59.research. Good news for tea drinkers.

:21:00. > :21:07.The Times newspaper, on Google. This is about the material that's on

:21:08. > :21:11.YouTube and criticism that it has not removed offensive material and

:21:12. > :21:18.again Paris on the front page. The same focus on the front page of the

:21:19. > :21:24.Daily Mail. Their headline "Google on rack over cash from hate views."

:21:25. > :21:28.MPs saying this week that they failed to control offensive content

:21:29. > :21:34.online. One story from the inside pages. So Monopoly. You know the

:21:35. > :21:39.little things that you push around. You're given one at the beginning.

:21:40. > :21:43.There has been a tradition around what those items are... Like a boot.

:21:44. > :21:51.The boot has gone. The boot has gone. The wheelbarrow has gone and t

:21:52. > :21:58.themble. They asked people what they wanted instead and they have come up

:21:59. > :22:03.with a dinosaur, a penguin and toy duck. So they asked people, they had

:22:04. > :22:10.to vote for what they wanted as those items. The winner was a

:22:11. > :22:15.Scottie dog, T-rex second, a car was fourth, duck fifth, and the closest

:22:16. > :22:20.unsuccessful candidate, so when people are asked what they wanted,

:22:21. > :22:30.some people, 5 # 00 people voted for a tortoise. Awh, the tortoise missed

:22:31. > :22:34.out. I thought it would have been a mobile phone or something! We will

:22:35. > :22:40.have the weather coming up shortly. Mike will have the sport as well. It

:22:41. > :22:44.was one of the world's worst environmental disasters, 50 years

:22:45. > :22:47.ago, the supertanker Torrey Canyon hit rocks off Cornwall spilling

:22:48. > :22:52.hundreds of thousands of tonnes of crude oil. Around 15,000 birds died

:22:53. > :22:59.and parts of British and French coasts took years to recover.

:23:00. > :23:03.Eleanor Parkinson reports. Impaled on a reef seven miles north of

:23:04. > :23:07.Scilly, the Torrey Canyon lies broken. Oil pouring from her tanks.

:23:08. > :23:13.She is carrying 120,000 tonnes of crude oil. The oil slick expands.

:23:14. > :23:18.Eventually stretching across 270 square miles as it creeps towards

:23:19. > :23:22.the Cornish Coast a massive operation begins to save beaches and

:23:23. > :23:27.wildlife. The army, the RAF, and the Navy are involved along with 78 Fire

:23:28. > :23:33.Brigades. Among them fire officers Eric and John. John recorded the

:23:34. > :23:38.event as an official photographer. Today, they're recalling the horrors

:23:39. > :23:42.of what they found. Well, the smell. That hit you first was the smell.

:23:43. > :23:49.You got your feet on it and you slid all over the place. It was

:23:50. > :23:52.diabolical. It really was. It was like looking at the bath and when

:23:53. > :23:56.you had a bath and leave a scum around the bath. That's what it was

:23:57. > :24:01.like. All the way around all the faces of all the cliffs and all

:24:02. > :24:04.around us. Over the next few days tens of thousands of tonnes of

:24:05. > :24:10.detergent was sprayed over the beaches to try and break up the oil.

:24:11. > :24:15.The main role of the fire service was setting pumps in, washing down

:24:16. > :24:21.after the detergent had been applied to the rocks or to the sands or

:24:22. > :24:25.whatever. There has been criticism of the detergent because that caused

:24:26. > :24:31.problems, didn't it? Well, that's true. What I did hear in the end, it

:24:32. > :24:35.would have been probably better to have let nature do its thing.

:24:36. > :24:40.Because the organisms in the sand and everything would have eaten it

:24:41. > :24:46.faster than what we did by killing off the organisms by putting

:24:47. > :24:48.detergent on them. It was an environmental catastrophe, 15,000

:24:49. > :24:53.seabirds died after being covered in oil. A week after she was grounded

:24:54. > :24:57.the Torrey Canyon began to break up, releasing even more oil into the

:24:58. > :25:04.sea. The desirbs was taken to destroy the vessel. For two whole

:25:05. > :25:09.days the RAF and the Navy bombed the ship. You could see the smoke. When

:25:10. > :25:17.we came down, we could see the smoke. Occasionally you could smell

:25:18. > :25:23.the smoke coming ashore above the smells of the other. It was not a

:25:24. > :25:25.nice thing. The Torrey Canyon sank leaving behind a legacy that would

:25:26. > :25:35.last for many years. Incredible pictures. Vice-Admiral

:25:36. > :25:40.Sir Jonathan Tod was a Royal Navy pilot who took part in the mission

:25:41. > :25:43.to bomb the stricken ship. He joins us now from our Exeter studio. Good

:25:44. > :25:49.morning to you. What do you remember from that operation 50 years ago? It

:25:50. > :25:57.seemed to be very dangerous. Well, it certainly was a very lovely day

:25:58. > :26:00.and it was a beautiful spring day. I was flying a aircraft out of

:26:01. > :26:07.Lossiemouth and we were detailed off to go and bomb the Torrey Canyon. As

:26:08. > :26:11.we set off, flying down south, I was in the second aircraft going down

:26:12. > :26:17.there. As we crossed the Scottish Border going south, I could actually

:26:18. > :26:22.see a great flume of smoke going up to 30,000 feet, way, way in the

:26:23. > :26:26.distance. Quite extraordinary. As we got closer, you could see the smoke

:26:27. > :26:31.was getting thicker and thicker and blacker and blacker. This was

:26:32. > :26:36.because the first wave of planes had gone through and had set fire to the

:26:37. > :26:40.ship which was burning then very, very fiercely. As we approached you

:26:41. > :26:45.could see that there was a lot of oil over the sea and the sea was

:26:46. > :26:48.very nice and calm, but clearly the oil was being swept up on to the

:26:49. > :26:53.beaches of Cornwall and the Channel Islands and all sorts of places like

:26:54. > :26:59.that. The job that we had was actually to try and set the oil on

:27:00. > :27:07.fire and to make holes in all 16 of the tanks on the Torrey Canyon. What

:27:08. > :27:13.was the thinking behind doing that, bombing the ship? How would that

:27:14. > :27:19.have helped? Well, sorry, probably to put a pun on it, the Government

:27:20. > :27:23.was between a rock and a hard place. We had tried the detergent. We had

:27:24. > :27:28.tried putting fires on board the ship and so on, but the oil on the

:27:29. > :27:32.ship was so very, very thick, it was like treacle and it is not the sort

:27:33. > :27:37.of oil that we're used to. It was very, very cold as well. So it was

:27:38. > :27:50.extremely hard to actually get it to burn and the only way you could get

:27:51. > :27:57.if it to bomb was to bomb it and get a big explosion and that would cause

:27:58. > :28:04.the oil to burn. The problem was we had was the ship had sunk. It had

:28:05. > :28:08.torn its bottom out. As the tide came in that would come in and put

:28:09. > :28:12.out the fires that we had just started and we had to wait until the

:28:13. > :28:15.tide went out and we could go back and start the fires again because it

:28:16. > :28:20.was very important to burn off as much oil as we possibly could before

:28:21. > :28:26.that was washed out of the wreck. If we hadn't been doing that then all

:28:27. > :28:29.of that oil would have gradually, gradually, all through the tourist

:28:30. > :28:33.season and all through that summer, would have just started washing up

:28:34. > :28:36.on this beach here and that beach there and there would have been a

:28:37. > :28:42.very significant environmental disaster. So the solution was... It

:28:43. > :28:48.is interesting that the attitude to the environment was very different

:28:49. > :28:53.back then. At the time the priority was to clean it up as quickly as

:28:54. > :28:58.possible because of the effect on tourism and local trade? That is

:28:59. > :29:02.very true. The quickest way of doing it and the most thorough way of

:29:03. > :29:07.doing it was to get the oil out of the ship. There was no other way you

:29:08. > :29:12.could get it out except by burning it off or let it leak out in one

:29:13. > :29:16.fell swoop because we didn't want it leaking it out over the whom of the

:29:17. > :29:21.summer months. A little bit at a time, every time there was a gale or

:29:22. > :29:25.a strong wind, another patch of oil would have come out. So the answer

:29:26. > :29:29.was to do it once and for all. I'm sure when you joined the Royal Navy,

:29:30. > :29:33.you didn't imagine you would be bombing a sunken ship to help with

:29:34. > :29:38.an environmental ka it is a throfy? Well, we always like to help

:29:39. > :29:41.whenever one can, but certainly I hadn't imagined that particular

:29:42. > :29:47.scenario. This was the first time that we had a tanker grounding in

:29:48. > :29:51.Western Europe and so it was a completely new experience for

:29:52. > :29:54.everybody that was trying to deal with disaster. Things have got so

:29:55. > :29:58.much better now because of the regulations for double hulls on

:29:59. > :30:02.tankers, much better collision avoidance and generally a much

:30:03. > :30:08.better oversight of the control of shipping at sea and please God, it

:30:09. > :30:13.is going to make those nasty incidents well, extremely rare. You

:30:14. > :30:17.can never say never and I really hope it doesn't happen again. We

:30:18. > :30:21.hope it doesn't too. Thank you very much for joining us, Vice-Admiral

:30:22. > :30:24.Sir Jonathan Tod. It is 7.30am. We're back with the

:30:25. > :30:58.headlines in a moment. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:30:59. > :31:06.with Charlie Stayt and Tina Daheley. Coming up before 8am,

:31:07. > :31:11.Ben will have the weather. But first, a summary of this

:31:12. > :31:13.morning's main news. Gordon Brown says Scotland should be

:31:14. > :31:17.handed a raft of new powers after Brexit to prevent

:31:18. > :31:19.the United Kingdom from splitting. The former Prime Minister will use

:31:20. > :31:22.a speech today to put forward his "third option"

:31:23. > :31:24.for Scotland's future. His intervention comes as the SNP

:31:25. > :31:28.leader Nicola Sturgeon, who has called for another

:31:29. > :31:30.independence referendum, addresses The first British soldiers have

:31:31. > :31:37.arrived in Estonia as part of the largest deployment of British

:31:38. > :31:40.troops to Europe since Over the next few weeks a total

:31:41. > :31:44.of 800 British soldiers and hundreds of military vehicles will be sent

:31:45. > :31:47.to the Baltic state in an attempt The American surveillance agency,

:31:48. > :31:52.the NSA, has rejected suggestions that British agents spied

:31:53. > :31:54.on Donald Trump, at the request On Wednesday, a White House

:31:55. > :32:00.spokesman discussed an allegation that GCHQ was asked to tap

:32:01. > :32:06.Mr Trump's calls last year. Downing Street says it's been

:32:07. > :32:21.reassured by Washington What would be the advantage to the

:32:22. > :32:26.UK Government of doing something like that? The cost would be immense

:32:27. > :32:30.in comparison to any value. So of course they wouldn't do anything.

:32:31. > :32:32.Schools should teach children how to spot "fake news" and recognise

:32:33. > :32:34.lies on social media, according to a leading

:32:35. > :32:37.The director of the influential think tank, the OECD,

:32:38. > :32:40.says pupils are becoming too dependent on the internet and need

:32:41. > :32:46.help distinguishing between true and false information online.

:32:47. > :32:49.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will meet victims of the attack

:32:50. > :32:51.on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris today.

:32:52. > :32:54.Last night, the royal couple had dinner at the British embassy,

:32:55. > :32:56.where Prince William spoke of the enduring ties

:32:57. > :32:59.The visit is part of the British government's charm offensive

:33:00. > :33:25.in Europe ahead of the start of Brexit talks.

:33:26. > :33:27.New research suggests the idyllic image some people have

:33:28. > :33:29.of the countryside is masking pockets of poverty, poor health

:33:30. > :33:32.and social isolation that can exist in rural areas.

:33:33. > :33:36.Those are the main stories this morning.

:33:37. > :33:38.The report by Public Health England and the Local Government Association

:33:39. > :33:40.says official statistics are often skewed towards gathering

:33:41. > :33:44.information about people living in towns and cities.

:33:45. > :33:54.There were two things... Be going back to Ireland to sit in front of

:33:55. > :33:59.their TV sets two will Ireland. England are going for rugby

:34:00. > :34:01.union history later. If they beat Ireland in Dublin

:34:02. > :34:03.they'll break New Zealand's record of consecutive wins and win a second

:34:04. > :34:07.Six Nations Grand Slam in a row. They've already won the tournament,

:34:08. > :34:09.but Ireland are hoping With every stride, with every

:34:10. > :34:27.dive, England get closer No nation has won 19 top-level

:34:28. > :34:34.rugby matches in a row. If England can do it it will be

:34:35. > :34:37.a world record constructive from the ashes of their World Cup,

:34:38. > :34:39.a tournament they exited Eddie Jones has coached them

:34:40. > :34:43.from disaster to triumph, what is still some way

:34:44. > :34:45.from his summit. To go from where we go to greatness

:34:46. > :34:48.takes another step of endeavour. It takes greater focus,

:34:49. > :34:57.it takes greater persistence. It takes greater emotional

:34:58. > :34:59.output, you know? How do you measure

:35:00. > :35:03.this team's rights? No England side has won back

:35:04. > :35:07.Grand Slams in the professional era. The last Saturday jobs,

:35:08. > :35:09.Will Carling's heroes They have gone to Australia and won

:35:10. > :35:18.3-0, that has never been done Back to back Grand Slams,

:35:19. > :35:22.a world record run, you know, Appropriate, because when England go

:35:23. > :35:32.to Dublin, nothing is certain. For Ireland, this team has

:35:33. > :35:34.been a disappointment, which could yet have

:35:35. > :35:36.one redeeming feature. We are well aware of everything that

:35:37. > :35:39.England are going for tomorrow, but for us, it is St Patrick's Day

:35:40. > :35:42.weekend, we are at home with a very proud record,

:35:43. > :35:45.at home, and we take huge But it may require

:35:46. > :35:59.the biggest heave yet. If England do it, they'll emulate

:36:00. > :36:02.the women who triumphed in Dublin A victory for either side

:36:03. > :36:07.would have secured the title, but it was England who ran away

:36:08. > :36:10.with it, with five tries, It's the first time they've won

:36:11. > :36:17.the competition since 2012. It was always going to be a very

:36:18. > :36:22.tough first half, we said all along it would be a game that would

:36:23. > :36:26.probably go to the wire. We got away with the Irish goals at the end a

:36:27. > :36:34.little bit, but they were awesome in the first half in particular, and we

:36:35. > :36:41.just knew to weather the storm. And that defensive session in the end of

:36:42. > :36:46.the first half was tremendous. I apologise for not passing on my

:36:47. > :37:16.Cheltenham Gold cup trip. An Irish journalist whispered

:37:17. > :37:18.to me at Cheltenham, early yesterday, "sizing John",

:37:19. > :37:21.and he was right as the 7-1 shot, won the Gold Cup, to give trainer,

:37:22. > :37:24.Jessica Harrington victory, with her first entry,

:37:25. > :37:29.in the famous race. The favourite, Djakadam,

:37:30. > :37:31.finished in fourth after hitting a fence and Sizing John powered

:37:32. > :37:34.clear to repeat his triumph Jockey Robbie Power,

:37:35. > :37:38.also rode the 2007 Grand National To say that I was 25 and won

:37:39. > :37:54.the Grand National, and I'm 35 now, I appreciate

:37:55. > :37:56.this a lot more. To be a gold cup

:37:57. > :38:00.winning jockey, that Leicester City will

:38:01. > :38:06.face Atletico Madrid, in the quarterfinals

:38:07. > :38:08.of the Champions League. The English Champions

:38:09. > :38:10.are the only British side Atletico have been runners up

:38:11. > :38:13.in the Champions league twice, Meanwhile in the Europa League

:38:14. > :38:17.quarter finals, Manchester United, will meet the Belgian side

:38:18. > :38:18.Anderlecht. Chelsea can extend their lead

:38:19. > :38:21.at the top of the Premier League, to 13 points, if they beat

:38:22. > :38:23.Stoke City later. That's one of 7 matches taking place

:38:24. > :38:26.today, including an important match for Arsenal at West Brom this

:38:27. > :38:28.lunchtime, as they try They are currently five

:38:29. > :38:32.points off fourth place. In Scotland, if 2nd placed Aberdeen

:38:33. > :38:34.lose against Hearts this lunchtime, Celtic can claim the title tomorrow

:38:35. > :38:37.if they beat Dundee. There was a big surprise

:38:38. > :38:45.in the Championship last night as promotion chasing

:38:46. > :38:47.Huddersfield Town were beaten 4-0 The result means Huddersfield remain

:38:48. > :38:53.six points behind the top two, and moves City out

:38:54. > :38:56.of the relegation places. In the night's other match

:38:57. > :39:01.Reading moved fourth, after beating sixth-placed

:39:02. > :39:05.Sheffield Wednesday. Hull FC moved level on points

:39:06. > :39:07.with Castleford Tigers, at the top of Super League,

:39:08. > :39:09.after beating struggling Leeds Rhinos joined

:39:10. > :39:13.them on eight points, after they ran in six tries,

:39:14. > :39:15.in their 38-14 victory We're used to seeing birdies,

:39:16. > :39:24.eagles and even the odd albatros on a golf course, they're

:39:25. > :39:29.all golfing terms, but in Florida Smylie Kaufman

:39:30. > :39:31.was leisurely strolling up to the green, unware of that

:39:43. > :40:18.be a Dory Mackerel, Who is Mardy Fish? Oh, a tennis

:40:19. > :40:33.player. At least it has got you thinking. Tweak your suggestions. --

:40:34. > :40:34.tweak It worked for champions

:40:35. > :40:37.Leicester City last season and a growing number of sports clubs

:40:38. > :40:39.are putting their players into the deep freeze

:40:40. > :40:42.to give them the edge. At Fulham, who are on a great run,

:40:43. > :40:45.they strip off and suffer temperatures of minus 119 degrees

:40:46. > :40:47.several times a week. To see what happens

:40:48. > :40:49.I went to join them. It is like something out

:40:50. > :40:54.of a science fiction movie. But this is how they warm up

:40:55. > :40:58.and warm down now, at Fulham. After seeing it work

:40:59. > :41:07.so well for Leicester, the champions, last season,

:41:08. > :41:09.Fulham now have a permanent whole-body cryotherapy trainer

:41:10. > :41:11.at their training ground, It reduces the recovery

:41:12. > :41:20.time between games, reduces the muscle soreness,

:41:21. > :41:22.and we use it before It can also help

:41:23. > :41:26.you sleep, with mood. So much training now

:41:27. > :41:27.for the modern footballer. Reactivation classes like this

:41:28. > :41:30.before training has even begun, and then afterwards,

:41:31. > :41:32.the heart rate has gone up, and before the warm-ups,

:41:33. > :41:34.we have the big freeze. I first went in with players

:41:35. > :41:44.Tom Kearney and Scott Malone. The coldest place recorded on earth

:41:45. > :41:50.ever has been -89.2. And you do the several

:41:51. > :41:59.times a week now? You get down to such

:42:00. > :42:01.depths in two stages. Then it was into the main,

:42:02. > :42:10.and coldest chamber, I also went in here with

:42:11. > :42:16.goalkeeper David button. It feels like knives

:42:17. > :42:22.in your legs and arms. So in this controlled

:42:23. > :42:24.environment, the body is sent into a state of shock,

:42:25. > :42:26.which stimulates our And it is believed this

:42:27. > :42:37.is beneficial for the immune system and energy levels which the players

:42:38. > :42:39.say can last two days. You are relieved to get out

:42:40. > :42:42.at the start, but I think if it is the day before a match,

:42:43. > :42:45.you feel a lot better, yeah. Definitely found it a lot fresher

:42:46. > :42:55.going into training, and into games. You don't get frostbite,

:42:56. > :42:58.because you only stay The mindnumbing temperatures

:42:59. > :43:02.are created by gas, In countries were started,

:43:03. > :43:06.the uses extend beyond sport. This is mainstream practice

:43:07. > :43:08.in Poland for rheumatoid arthritis. Any inflammatory pathology,

:43:09. > :43:12.multiple sclerosis we have seen. There is no reason,

:43:13. > :43:14.with all the reported feedback about sleep,

:43:15. > :43:16.why this couldn't be used It is a great feeling

:43:17. > :43:21.when you come out. You feel rejuvenated

:43:22. > :43:23.and alive, don't you? You feel like you have

:43:24. > :43:40.run, almost superhuman. At the end, my heartrate variability

:43:41. > :43:43.had gone from 74 to 92. Apparently it is the same effect

:43:44. > :43:59.if you released a bunch of lions at the ground and cut them

:44:00. > :44:06.to chase the players. why were you the only one wearing a

:44:07. > :44:12.dressing down? Line I was told to bring one, but I felt like Noel

:44:13. > :44:23.Coward at the end! We have fish names coming in.

:44:24. > :44:39.Arnie Piranha. And we have the name of a proper one coming in from the

:44:40. > :44:49.70s, Mike Fish. Here's Ben with a look

:44:50. > :44:58.at this morning's weather. A bit of cloud around, in fact, a

:44:59. > :45:02.lot of cloud for many of us. It is a pretty poor start of the day across

:45:03. > :45:06.many parts of the country. This is the view of one of the weather

:45:07. > :45:12.watchers from Essex. It will be the eastern parts of the country that

:45:13. > :45:13.get most of the cloud, and perhaps some sunshine. It will be breezy

:45:14. > :45:34.with rain at times. You can see this cloud... A very different

:45:35. > :45:39.weather across Scotland, with a bright start to the day. Someone she

:45:40. > :45:44.showers around, but through southern Scotland and Northern Ireland, some

:45:45. > :45:48.patchy rain and cloudy. Showers across the Pennines and north-east

:45:49. > :45:51.England, but brighter spells here. Some sunshine, perhaps into East

:45:52. > :45:55.Anglia as well. Through the Midlands, Wales and Southwest,

:45:56. > :45:59.cloudy and murky over the hills. Some drizzle, but my old. Quite

:46:00. > :46:04.breezy but not as windy as yesterday. As we go on through the

:46:05. > :46:08.day it is more of the same. Outbreaks of rain in the West

:46:09. > :46:12.particularly, best chance of brightness in the east, lifting

:46:13. > :46:15.temperatures to 15 or 16. For northern Scotland all the while, a

:46:16. > :46:20.mixture of sunshine and wintry showers, and it will be cooler

:46:21. > :46:23.compared with milder conditions further south. A big afternoon of

:46:24. > :46:29.six Nations Rugby. It looks cloudy for the fixtures in Dublin and

:46:30. > :46:33.Paris, but a bit brighter in Edinburgh, with temperatures 9-13.

:46:34. > :46:37.This evening and tonight, particularly in the south, there

:46:38. > :46:41.will be a lot of dry weather, cloudy and grizzly on the hills, but more

:46:42. > :46:48.persistent rain through northern Scotland and England as well. Mild

:46:49. > :46:53.night, but chilly for them far north of Scotland. This band of rain

:46:54. > :46:57.moving through will gradually sinks southwards and eastwards, thinking

:46:58. > :47:01.as it goes. It will brighten into the afternoon, with a mixture of

:47:08. > :47:10.Thank you very much. We'll be back with

:47:11. > :47:12.the headlines at 8am. Now it's time for Newswatch

:47:13. > :47:17.with Samira Ahmed. Hello, and welcome to Newswatch

:47:18. > :47:26.with me, Samira Ahmed. BBC reports revealed the scale

:47:27. > :47:28.of the famine in East Africa. Is this more charity

:47:29. > :47:31.campaigning than news? And can you have too much of a fun

:47:32. > :47:34.viral moment on the news? First, how significant is it in news

:47:35. > :47:43.terms when politicians listen to criticism

:47:44. > :47:46.and rethink controversial decisions? On Wednesday the Prime Minister

:47:47. > :47:50.announced the scrapping of the plans announced in the budget to raise

:47:51. > :47:53.national insurance payments for Norman Smith described this U-turn

:47:54. > :48:00.to Sophie Raworth like this... Sophie, let's just get this

:48:01. > :48:03.in perspective of grand government U-turns, this is a full-blown

:48:04. > :48:06.howling, screeching, Italian Riviera, hairpin bend,

:48:07. > :48:08.smoke bleeding from the tyres In terms of the speed,

:48:09. > :48:16.just seven days ago Philip Hammond announced this tax rise,

:48:17. > :48:18.and the scale of it, it is a complete abandonment

:48:19. > :48:23.of a key tax rise. Not a tweak, not a nudge,

:48:24. > :48:27.not a review - it's out the window. Some of you thought there was too

:48:28. > :48:30.much relish and shock over a simple change of mind,

:48:31. > :48:33.including Robin Petherbridge. Politicians get all excited

:48:34. > :48:59.about policy U-turn Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister

:49:00. > :49:02.of Scotland, seized the news agenda on Monday when she said there should

:49:03. > :49:04.be another referendum A demand rebuffed by

:49:05. > :49:14.the Prime Minister on Thursday. This is a highly contentious issue,

:49:15. > :49:17.as was seen in the criticism made of the BBC over its coverage

:49:18. > :49:21.of the first referendum in 2014. It exercised several

:49:22. > :49:27.viewers again this week As that debate continues,

:49:28. > :49:54.the BBC's reporting will clearly be under scrutiny again,

:49:55. > :50:02.including an Newswatch. Now, our domestic political concerns

:50:03. > :50:05.have been put into perspective this week by a series of reports running

:50:06. > :50:08.on BBC television about the famine The first declared anywhere

:50:09. > :50:12.in the world in six years. The millions of people facing

:50:13. > :50:14.starvation in Somalia, It's not that there is no

:50:15. > :50:21.food in South Sudan, it's just that people

:50:22. > :50:25.cannot access it. Because of the constant fighting,

:50:26. > :50:27.people can't plant, And if the fighting continues,

:50:28. > :50:34.more and more people will be forced to abandon their homes

:50:35. > :50:40.and become refugees. Many are already dying before

:50:41. > :50:50.they can reach help. With 3 million people on the verge

:50:51. > :50:53.of starvation here, the sense But what about those

:50:54. > :51:00.children who don't make it Where there are no doctors

:51:01. > :51:05.or clinics, where food and water has been looted by retreating

:51:06. > :51:09.Boko Haram fighters. For those children,

:51:10. > :51:11.the end is inevitable. Innocent victims of

:51:12. > :51:23.a man major tragedy. Clive Myrie there,

:51:24. > :51:26.reporting from Nigeria. Before him, Andrew

:51:27. > :51:27.Harding in Somalia. And Catherine Byaruhanga

:51:28. > :51:29.in South Sudan. Grace Dalton was one of those

:51:30. > :51:31.who welcomed the coverage, leaving us this telephone

:51:32. > :51:33.message on Wednesday. I really wanted to

:51:34. > :51:37.thank you so, so much. I was really pleased yesterday that

:51:38. > :51:40.you were covering quite substantially the famine

:51:41. > :51:41.situation in Africa. My only criticism about the BBC's

:51:42. > :51:44.coverage is that you didn't give out the DEC number,

:51:45. > :51:47.I thought you might give out contact for people to be able to donate

:51:48. > :51:50.towards the effort being made Later on Wednesday the BBC

:51:51. > :51:54.did broadcast an appeal from the Disasters Emergency

:51:55. > :51:55.Committee. With full details of how

:51:56. > :52:00.money could be donated. Nobody should be dying

:52:01. > :52:07.of starvation in 2017. For a malnourished child

:52:08. > :52:09.in this situation, ?25 could provide a month's supply

:52:10. > :52:19.of life-saving peanut paste. ?60 could provide clean drinking

:52:20. > :52:25.water for two families for a month. The Disasters Emergency Committee

:52:26. > :52:31.is an umbrella group of major charities which has run many

:52:32. > :52:33.television campaigns following, for instance, the 2010 earthquake

:52:34. > :52:35.in Haiti and Typhoon Haiyan Dawn, and as the sun breaks

:52:36. > :52:42.through the piercing chill of night on the plane outside

:52:43. > :52:43.Coram, it... TV has a long history of bringing

:52:44. > :52:47.humanitarian crisis to the attention of the wider public,

:52:48. > :52:49.most famously through Michael Burke's report

:52:50. > :52:51.on what he called the biblical famine in Ethiopic in 1994,

:52:52. > :52:56.which gave rise to a massive But some people are uncomfortable

:52:57. > :53:10.about the role an impartial and objective BBC can have

:53:11. > :53:12.here in kick-starting The news channel there

:53:13. > :53:16.is to deliver news. This is nothing more

:53:17. > :53:21.than an appeal for money. This does not belong

:53:22. > :53:24.on the main news channel Returning to the Newswatch studio

:53:25. > :53:29.to discuss this is the editor of the BBC News at Six and News

:53:30. > :53:31.at Ten, Paul Royal. Can you explain first how

:53:32. > :53:35.the BBC came to declare All of these countries we've been

:53:36. > :53:39.covering and reporting from over We ran a couple of pieces

:53:40. > :53:42.from north-east Nigeria in December. We've reported from South

:53:43. > :53:52.Sudan through January. So actually these

:53:53. > :53:53.aren't new stories. We've been covering

:53:54. > :53:55.them and the situation What happened about a week ago was

:53:56. > :53:59.a warning from the United Nations, a very stark warning that 21 million

:54:00. > :54:02.people are at risk of And on the basis of that,

:54:03. > :54:11.we felt that was something, the gravity of the situation,

:54:12. > :54:13.the magnitude of the story, that was With those reports viewers commented

:54:14. > :54:18.they noticed reporters talking Even if it's a worthy charitable

:54:19. > :54:23.cause, I guess some viewers were questioning whether BBC News

:54:24. > :54:25.reporters were using the jargon I would argue against that

:54:26. > :54:33.in the sense that what our correspondents were doing

:54:34. > :54:37.is what they always do, which is report with authority

:54:38. > :54:39.and context what is going on in a difficult and

:54:40. > :54:48.dangerous situation. And ,actually say in the case

:54:49. > :54:50.of Andrew Harding, who reported famine in Somalia in 2011,

:54:51. > :54:53.he brought back into his reporting this week to contrast

:54:54. > :54:54.the differences between the situation then and now,

:54:55. > :54:58.and to point out that today the situation is probably less grave

:54:59. > :55:03.than it was in 2011. And the country and aid

:55:04. > :55:07.agencies and international community had learned lessons

:55:08. > :55:10.and were making their appeals and their warnings earlier to try

:55:11. > :55:14.and stop people from dying. Looking at some of those

:55:15. > :55:19.news reports one wonders where the line is, the limit is,

:55:20. > :55:21.on what reporters can say, given that there is also a DEC

:55:22. > :55:24.appeal saying we urgently need Where is the boundary

:55:25. > :55:28.for the reporter? I think the reporters,

:55:29. > :55:30.our correspondents, do These are difficult, dangerous,

:55:31. > :55:34.distressing situations. They describe and they report

:55:35. > :55:36.them as they always do with all the context and background

:55:37. > :55:44.attached to that. So I don't think our correspondents

:55:45. > :55:47.and reporters have got emergency appeals in their minds,

:55:48. > :55:49.in their thoughts, BBC News reports can have a huge

:55:50. > :55:54.impact and a campaign for fundraising appeal

:55:55. > :55:57.will have a huge impact on the BBC. Perhaps there is a case to say why

:55:58. > :56:00.not give more attention of this campaigning kind to other crises

:56:01. > :56:02.maybe closer to home? What we've done this week is not

:56:03. > :56:07.campaigning journalism, Campaigning journalism,

:56:08. > :56:12.which some newspapers will do, and have a long and proud tradition

:56:13. > :56:15.of, is trying to get We've been doing this week

:56:16. > :56:19.what BBC News always does, which is report significantly

:56:20. > :56:21.important stories In terms of why this,

:56:22. > :56:28.why not something else, I would argue we cover a whole range

:56:29. > :56:30.of serious and important I suppose, in this situation,

:56:31. > :56:43.21 million people are at risk The gravity and magnitude

:56:44. > :56:47.of the situation is such that that is what warrants and justifies

:56:48. > :56:50.an appeal, because it is Perhaps the most widely seen BBC

:56:51. > :56:58.interview of the week was one originally given to BBC world news

:56:59. > :57:00.about the South Korean In case you've been hiding under

:57:01. > :57:06.a rock for the past seven days, here is Professor Robert Kelly

:57:07. > :57:12.and the rest of his family. And what will it mean

:57:13. > :57:14.for the wider region? I think one of your children

:57:15. > :57:19.has just walked in. Shifting sands in the region,

:57:20. > :57:21.do you think relations Erm, I would be

:57:22. > :57:27.surprised if they do. What is this going to

:57:28. > :57:39.mean for the region? Soon an online sensation,

:57:40. > :57:50.the interrupted interview featured in news bulletin headlines,

:57:51. > :57:52.there was a follow-up interview with Professor Kelly,

:01:49. > :01:51.Good morning. First, our main story.

:01:52. > :01:54.Gordon Brown says Scotland should be handed a raft of new powers

:01:55. > :01:56.after Brexit to prevent the United Kingdom from splitting.

:01:57. > :01:59.The former Prime Minister will use a speech today to put

:02:00. > :02:01.forward his "third option" for Scotland's future.

:02:02. > :02:03.His intervention comes as the SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon addresses her

:02:04. > :02:08.Our Political Correspondent Iain Watson reports.

:02:09. > :02:11.Nicola Sturgeon has been saying what her members

:02:12. > :02:18.That a second referendum in Scottish independence should happen before

:02:19. > :02:23.But she knows she has to broaden her support

:02:24. > :02:26.beyond her power base so she will argue her call

:02:27. > :02:29.for a referendum isn't just about standing up for Scotland,

:02:30. > :02:33.When Nicola Sturgeon takes to this stage later today,

:02:34. > :02:35.she will repeat her demand for a second

:02:36. > :02:41.But it looks like Theresa May isn't for turning.

:02:42. > :02:46.The SNP see their call for a referendum as a win-win

:02:47. > :02:49.because either Theresa May gives in in their time scale

:02:50. > :02:56.or they believe that her refusal to do so will help them build

:02:57. > :02:58.support for independence in the slightly longer term.

:02:59. > :03:01.I think Theresa May trying to deny the Scottish people their say

:03:02. > :03:04.on this is something she will have cause to regret, but I think

:03:05. > :03:07.the longer Theresa May tries to deny the people of Scotland their say,

:03:08. > :03:10.the better it is for the campaign for independence.

:03:11. > :03:16.This is everyone's flag, everyone's country.

:03:17. > :03:17.Everyone's culture and everyone's streets.

:03:18. > :03:20.This former Prime Minister was credited with saving the Union,

:03:21. > :03:21.when he passionately campaigned against independence

:03:22. > :03:27.This time, he says, after Brexit, Scotland could get a more powerful

:03:28. > :03:29.Parliament without having to break its links

:03:30. > :03:34.Gordon Brown is calling for a federal United Kingdom

:03:35. > :03:38.with the Scottish Parliament taking powers from Brussels,

:03:39. > :03:40.getting control of VAT rates, and negotiating treaties with other

:03:41. > :03:44.But from Nicola Sturgeon's prospective the choice

:03:45. > :03:50.An independent Scotland that wants to be in the EU,

:03:51. > :04:01.Iain Watson joins us now from Aberdeen.

:04:02. > :04:06.Gordon Brown, those passionate speeches he gave in the referendum.

:04:07. > :04:13.Who will be listening this time around? I think that's the question

:04:14. > :04:17.actually Charlie because last time round certainly his passionate

:04:18. > :04:21.intervention was credited with turning round support for remaining

:04:22. > :04:24.in the UK in the last few days of the referendum campaign, but at that

:04:25. > :04:29.point Labour was the main party of opposition in Westminster and in

:04:30. > :04:32.Scotland. It had the largest number of MPs at Westminster. He had been

:04:33. > :04:37.Prime Minister just four years before. We are in a different

:04:38. > :04:41.landscape now. Labour is in third place in Scotland. Labour looks

:04:42. > :04:45.further from power at Westminster to put it quite bluntly so whether he

:04:46. > :04:48.will carry the same amount of weight this times remains to be seen.

:04:49. > :04:52.Certainly the Labour Party are endorsing his proposals, this idea

:04:53. > :04:56.of more home rule for Scotland and for the Scottish Parliament to have

:04:57. > :04:59.more powers after Brexit. The difficulty is this - last time round

:05:00. > :05:03.when there was a vow to give the Scottish Parliament more powers in

:05:04. > :05:07.the referendum in 2014, the Conservatives were on side, the Lib

:05:08. > :05:12.Dems were on side, and Labour was on side, you have got the party in

:05:13. > :05:15.third place putting forward an idea and there is no guarantee that

:05:16. > :05:19.Theresa May will adopt this and no guarantee it will be an option in a

:05:20. > :05:23.referendum when it comes. Iain, thank you.

:05:24. > :05:26.We will be asking the SNP's deputy leader Angus Robertson

:05:27. > :05:32.in just over an hour about Gordon Brown's comments.

:05:33. > :05:34.And we'll also be hearing from the leader of Scottish

:05:35. > :05:35.Labour Kezia Dugdale later in the programme.

:05:36. > :05:38.The first British soldiers have arrived in Estonia as part

:05:39. > :05:40.of the largest deployment of British troops to Europe since

:05:41. > :05:49.Over the next few weeks a total of 800 British soldiers and hundreds

:05:50. > :05:52.of military vehicles will be sent to the Baltic state as Nato forces

:05:53. > :05:57.Our Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale reports.

:05:58. > :06:00.The British Army has been preparing for this moment.

:06:01. > :06:03.These tanks took part in a final exercise in Germany ahead

:06:04. > :06:12.And they're now among 300 military vehicles that have been loaded

:06:13. > :06:20.on to a ferry destined for the small Baltic state of Estonia.

:06:21. > :06:27.The first British troops are trained and ready to go, not just alert to

:06:28. > :06:33.any military threat, but to provocations from Russia.

:06:34. > :06:37.Do you think the Russians are playing games and using social media

:06:38. > :06:41.and fake news and all that stuff? It is a mixture of both. You hear about

:06:42. > :06:46.a cyber threat and all of that stuff, but we Ianed for every

:06:47. > :06:49.eventualality. We know how to protect ourselves. Are you worried

:06:50. > :06:54.about anything? There is a credible threat just over the border, but I

:06:55. > :07:03.think we're a credible deterrent. These are the first of 800 British

:07:04. > :07:11.troops who will be arriving in Estonia in the next few weeks and it

:07:12. > :07:13.could be the start of a long, open-ended agreement to end Russian

:07:14. > :07:18.aggression. These soldiers will be caught up in the rising tensions

:07:19. > :07:23.between Russia and the west. They're not alone though. The US, Canada and

:07:24. > :07:24.Germany are also sending their troops to reinforce Nato's eastern

:07:25. > :07:32.flank. The American surveillance agency,

:07:33. > :07:34.the NSA, has rejected suggestions that British agents spied

:07:35. > :07:36.on Donald Trump, at the request On Wednesday, a White House

:07:37. > :07:40.spokesman discussed an allegation that GCHQ was asked to tap

:07:41. > :07:45.Mr Trump's calls last year. From Washington,

:07:46. > :07:49.Tulip Mazumdar reports. Two strong leaders

:07:50. > :07:54.with many differences. They discussed immigration,

:07:55. > :07:56.trade and Nato, and then the thorny At least we have something

:07:57. > :08:02.in common perhaps. It was an awkward joke that didn't

:08:03. > :08:12.seem to particularly The US admitted in 2015 to tapping

:08:13. > :08:20.Angela Merkel's phone, there is no evidence supporting

:08:21. > :08:24.Donald Trump's similar claims and today he distanced himself

:08:25. > :08:31.from suggestions by his own press secretary that British intelligence

:08:32. > :08:33.may have been involved. That was a statement made

:08:34. > :08:39.by a talented lawyer on Fox. So you shouldn't talking to me,

:08:40. > :08:45.you should be talking to Fox. Downing Street say it

:08:46. > :08:47.has been assured the US In an exclusive interview

:08:48. > :08:50.with the BBC, America's equivalent agency to GCHQ had this to say

:10:25. > :10:29.Europe and of course, there is this attempt, very explicit really, to

:10:30. > :10:33.reassure European nations in this case France, that the essentials of

:10:34. > :10:38.that relationship will not be changed by Brexit and so last night,

:10:39. > :10:43.prince well yam read a message from his grandmother, from the Queen, in

:10:44. > :10:46.which she commented on the relationship between the United

:10:47. > :10:49.Kingdom and France and said this relationship will continue to

:10:50. > :10:52.prosper in the future. So that really is the principle purpose of

:10:53. > :10:53.this visit. Nicholas Witchell, thank you very

:10:54. > :10:58.much. Schools should teach children how

:10:59. > :11:01.to spot "fake news" and recognise lies on social media,

:11:02. > :11:03.according to a leading The director of the influential

:11:04. > :11:07.think-tank, the OECD, says pupils are becoming too

:11:08. > :11:10.dependent on the internet and need help distinguishing between true

:11:11. > :11:14.and false information online. New research suggests the idyllic

:11:15. > :11:17.image some people have of the countryside is masking

:11:18. > :11:19.pockets of poverty, poor health and social isolation that can

:11:20. > :11:25.exist in rural areas. The report by Public Health England

:11:26. > :11:29.and the Local Government Association says official statistics are often

:11:30. > :11:31.skewed towards gathering information about people living

:11:32. > :11:40.in towns and cities. We will have the sport with Mike and

:11:41. > :11:47.the weather later on. He is credited by some as the man

:11:48. > :11:50.who helped to swing the last Scottish independence referendum

:11:51. > :11:52.in favour of the union. And today the former

:11:53. > :11:55.Prime Minister Gordon Brown will call for Scotland to get

:11:56. > :11:57.more powers after Brexit in a bid to reduce the lure of what

:11:58. > :12:00.he calls,"hard-line nationalism". It comes just days after the SNP

:12:01. > :12:02.demanded a new vote. Their Deputy leader

:12:03. > :12:14.Angus Robertson is in Aberdeen First of all, Gordon Brown is a

:12:15. > :12:21.significant political figure still. What do you make of what he is

:12:22. > :12:25.saying? Well, a very Brown hog day to you. What we are seeing Gordon

:12:26. > :12:29.Brown being wheeled out again when the Union is in trouble. We in

:12:30. > :12:34.Scotland remember the promises that were made during the 2014 referendum

:12:35. > :12:39.about transformational change in Scotland that we would have near as

:12:40. > :12:44.possible federalism, and we're very, very far from that. I don't take it

:12:45. > :12:48.seriously at all, but what it does show you is that Whitehall,

:12:49. > :12:51.Westminster, is losing control of this debate because what the Prime

:12:52. > :12:55.Minister is seeking to do is block democracy in Scotland. People having

:12:56. > :12:58.a choice about our future and the Labour Party trying to pitch in and

:12:59. > :13:04.help the Tories as they did last time. I don't think it will make any

:13:05. > :13:10.difference at all. But we've heard it before, so no doubt we'll hear it

:13:11. > :13:13.again. Yes, you are clearly very dismissive of Gordon Brown's

:13:14. > :13:18.intervention. Some people will say you and your conference, of course,

:13:19. > :13:21.are preaching to the converted so you will get rapturous applause when

:13:22. > :13:24.you make those speeches, but he maybe speaking for some people who

:13:25. > :13:28.have a different view of how they see the future for Scotland, with

:13:29. > :13:34.more power, but still, part of the UK? No doubt about that, yes. No

:13:35. > :13:37.doubt about that at all. Let's be clear, the Labour Party is not in a

:13:38. > :13:42.position to deliver a pizza at the moment. They're in opposition in

:13:43. > :13:46.Westminster. They're divided. The Labour Party is so weak in Scotland

:13:47. > :13:51.now that they are the third force in political, and they are not even a

:13:52. > :13:54.force so we have to understand that what's going on, we have a

:13:55. > :13:56.Government had Scotland elected with a mandate to hold a referendum in

:13:57. > :14:00.the circumstances of Scotland being taken out of the European Union

:14:01. > :14:05.against its will. That is what is happening at the present time. We're

:14:06. > :14:10.going to have a vote in the Scottish Parliament next week and I expect a

:14:11. > :14:14.majority, so not just SNP MSPs, but others will decide that we should

:14:15. > :14:19.have a referendum in Scotland and I just cannot see how a UK Government

:14:20. > :14:22.will deny people in Scotland having their say and I think it is really

:14:23. > :14:28.important for people elsewhere in the UK to be able to understand

:14:29. > :14:33.what's going on here because this is about the forthcoming Brexit

:14:34. > :14:36.negotiations when there will be discussions with the European Union

:14:37. > :14:39.and at the end there is going to be a period to choose and the British

:14:40. > :14:43.Parliament is going to have a choice, the House of Lords which

:14:44. > :14:46.nobody has elected is going to have a choice, the House of Commons, the

:14:47. > :14:49.European Parliament is going to have a choice, 27 member states are going

:14:50. > :14:53.to have a choice about the future of Scotland and it just seems

:14:54. > :14:56.completely unacceptable that the people of Scotland in those

:14:57. > :15:00.circumstances are not going to be able to have a choice about their

:15:01. > :15:04.own future. So I don't think it is sustainable to deny a referendum. I

:15:05. > :15:07.think it will have to happen regardless of any idea that Gordon

:15:08. > :15:12.Brown comes up with when we know that things are really in trouble.

:15:13. > :15:15.Just take me step by step if you would how this works. You mentioned

:15:16. > :15:19.the vote that you're going to have next week and you say you're of can

:15:20. > :15:22.dent that you're going to get that vote. The Scottish Parliament votes

:15:23. > :15:26.in favour of a referendum and Theresa May will be asked once again

:15:27. > :15:30.what she thinks and she will repeat what she says, your leader, energy,

:15:31. > :15:33.says she doesn't seem like someone who is going to change her mind.

:15:34. > :15:37.What happens next? Is it a possibility that you hold a

:15:38. > :15:44.referendum without the backing of Theresa May? Well, let's listen to

:15:45. > :15:49.what she actually said. She said now is not the time for a referendum and

:15:50. > :15:54.it might be a surprise to you, but I agree with her. We don't want a

:15:55. > :15:57.referendum now because there have to be negotiations with the European

:15:58. > :16:01.Union and that's going to take the guts of two years. But the EU side

:16:02. > :16:08.and the UK side have both said that they are looking to try and have an

:16:09. > :16:11.agreement by the autumn of 2018, and all of the approval then needs to

:16:12. > :16:16.take place before the spring of 2019. Now, I'm just making a basic

:16:17. > :16:19.point and this will become obvious the closer we get. Everybody else is

:16:20. > :16:23.going to get a choice over Scotland's future. A choice about it

:16:24. > :16:31.in London. A choice about it in Brussels and a choice in 27 capitals

:16:32. > :16:33.from Tallinn to Vienna, to Zagreb, across Europe, people are going to

:16:34. > :16:39.have a choice about Scotland's future. And I just think it is going

:16:40. > :16:42.to be untenable for a UK Prime Minister to allow everybody else to

:16:43. > :16:45.have a choice over Scotland's future, but us in Scotland not to

:16:46. > :16:51.have a choice and for that reason I don't think she is going to be able

:16:52. > :16:56.to maintain forever a blockade on Scottish democracy. We can discuss

:16:57. > :16:59.hypotheticals about plans B and Cs and all that. I just think there is

:17:00. > :17:03.something that's going to happen. There is going to be a referendum in

:17:04. > :17:06.Scotland. It will happen. If our Parliament votes for it, just think

:17:07. > :17:11.about this for a second, what kind of a state will the UK be? Are we

:17:12. > :17:14.still going to claim that the UK is a properly functioning democracy?

:17:15. > :17:18.The national Parliament of Scotland says it wants a referendum and the

:17:19. > :17:26.UK denies it, I mean what kind of UK is that? It is not a democratic UK

:17:27. > :17:29.where it is based on respect for the different nations and regions of the

:17:30. > :17:32.country. If I may, just a brief thought from you and help us with

:17:33. > :17:38.this one. Nicola Sturgeon, Theresa May, do you know when they last

:17:39. > :17:44.spoke? And how would you describe their relationship right now? I

:17:45. > :17:48.don't know the answer to that question, but there have been

:17:49. > :17:52.regular meetings of what's called the joint ministerial committee,

:17:53. > :17:56.the. JC and that brought together the Prime Minister and the First

:17:57. > :17:59.Minister and the representatives of the other devolved administrations

:18:00. > :18:03.in the UK and it's there that the Scottish Government has been

:18:04. > :18:06.presenting it'st its compromise proposal has been been seeking to

:18:07. > :18:09.try and make progress in this for months, but unfortunately, the UK

:18:10. > :18:14.Government, the Prime Minister, and her colleagues, have not been

:18:15. > :18:19.prepared to move an inch. Now, they have yet to trigger Article 50 and

:18:20. > :18:22.so there are days and perhaps a couple of weeks for the UK

:18:23. > :18:26.Government to deliver on the promise that Theresa May gave that she

:18:27. > :18:30.wanted a UK-wide approach, an agreement before triggering Article

:18:31. > :18:35.50. So I would encourage Theresa May at this late stage to show the same

:18:36. > :18:38.kind of leadership and the willingness to compromise as Nicola

:18:39. > :18:43.Sturgeon has because if she doesn't, and if all she wants to do is

:18:44. > :18:47.blockade Scottish democracy then it's going to be very, very damaging

:18:48. > :18:52.for the union that she says she supports. Angus Robertson, thank you

:18:53. > :19:02.very much for your time. SNP deputy leader. Angus Roberts son. We will

:19:03. > :19:06.be Scottish leader Kezia Dugdale in a bit. Let's go to Ben with the

:19:07. > :19:17.weather. Aberdeenshire getting off to a

:19:18. > :19:24.beautiful start. Lovely sunrace there in Fraserburgh. Further west,

:19:25. > :19:28.it is a cloudy story in Carmarthenshire. A lot of cloud in

:19:29. > :19:33.the forecast. It will be mild and breezy and rain at time. Most of

:19:34. > :19:37.that will be in the west because this pipeline of cloud streaming

:19:38. > :19:42.across the Atlantic and it is always going to be western areas are that

:19:43. > :19:50.exposed to the pipeline of moisture. Further east, shelter, a better

:19:51. > :19:55.chance of seeing dry weather and brightness. Chilly here, one or two

:19:56. > :19:59.wintry showers and maybe icy stretches, but through south-west

:20:00. > :20:03.Scotland and north-west Scotland, but to the east of the Pennines,

:20:04. > :20:07.shelter. You might get brightness across north-east England. Through

:20:08. > :20:10.parts of East Anglia and the South East, maybe some brighter glimpses,

:20:11. > :20:15.but the Midlands Wales and the south-west cloudy and particularly

:20:16. > :20:20.down towards the far south-west murky and drizzly. Breezy as well.

:20:21. > :20:26.As we go through the day, it will always be western areas will see the

:20:27. > :20:30.rain. Further east, Eastern Scotland, Eastern England, we might

:20:31. > :20:34.get some brightness. That could lift temperatures to 15 or 16 Celsius.

:20:35. > :20:38.Always chillier across the far north of Scotland. A big day in the Six

:20:39. > :20:41.Nations today for the fixture in Paris and in Dublin and Edinburgh.

:20:42. > :20:44.Generally a lot of cloud. Maybe in Edinburgh we will see brightness at

:20:45. > :20:48.times. Apart from a few spots of rain, there will be a lot of dry

:20:49. > :20:51.weather. This evening and tonight, we will see heavier rain moving

:20:52. > :20:54.through Northern Ireland and Scotland, down into Northern

:20:55. > :20:58.England. The further south you are, largely dry apart from the odd spot

:20:59. > :21:01.of drizzle. It will be breezy and a mild night for many and into

:21:02. > :21:05.tomorrow, well more of the same in many ways. A lot of cloud around. We

:21:06. > :21:09.will have the band of rain through Northern Ireland and Southern

:21:10. > :21:12.Scotland. It will sink no Northern England and Wales. Weakening as it

:21:13. > :21:15.does. To the north of that turning cooler. A mixture of sunshine and

:21:16. > :21:19.showers. To the south of that rain band, it will be windy tomorrow. It

:21:20. > :21:24.will be cloudy, but again, it will be mild with temperatures up to 15

:21:25. > :21:25.Celsius. So by no means, is it all bad news this weekend, Tina and

:21:26. > :21:33.Charlie. Ben, thank you very much. Tens of thousands of people

:21:34. > :21:35.in England and Wales will face what's being called a new death

:21:36. > :21:38.tax from May. At the moment people who sort out

:21:39. > :21:41.the estate of a relative after they die pay

:21:42. > :21:43.a flat rate of ?215. But in the future, changes mean

:21:44. > :21:46.the fee will rise with the value Paul Lewis from Radio 4's Money Box

:21:47. > :22:03.is in our London studio. At the moment it is a flat fee, ?215

:22:04. > :22:07.a bit less if a solicitor does it for you. In the future, it will go

:22:08. > :22:14.up, the more that's left. Once that reaches ?300,000 it will be ?1,000

:22:15. > :22:18.and it will go up to ?4,000, ?8,000, ?12,000 or ?20,000 in some cases.

:22:19. > :22:23.That will be for the biggest estates, but if you leave a house

:22:24. > :22:27.and a B52 savings, you can reach ?300,000 and face ?1,000 fee and in

:22:28. > :22:32.London and the South East of England certainly, people can easily leave

:22:33. > :22:36.more than ?500,000 or ?1 million if you count the value of the family

:22:37. > :22:39.home and they will pay ?8,000. It is going to hit people really hard and

:22:40. > :22:44.that's why it is called a new death tax as you say. I suppose we should

:22:45. > :22:48.say that a lot of people, they may have big houses, they have seen

:22:49. > :22:51.their property values rise, that doesn't necessarily mean they are

:22:52. > :22:55.wealthy. I imagine a lot of people will struggle to pay these fees?

:22:56. > :22:59.Well, yes. And they have to be paid upfront? Yes, they do. That's the

:23:00. > :23:02.point. You have to pay them when you apply for what's called probate

:23:03. > :23:05.which is when you sort out the estate and the courts give you per

:23:06. > :23:09.mirbs to release all the funds and that has to be paid upfront and it

:23:10. > :23:14.could be months before you inherit whatever you're going to inherit

:23:15. > :23:18.from the estate and if that is just or mainly the family home then you

:23:19. > :23:20.don't have any cash to pay the fee even then. There will be problems

:23:21. > :23:24.with people borrowing the money from the bank. They are reluctant to lend

:23:25. > :23:28.it. Solicitors can't really lend you that sort of money. So there will be

:23:29. > :23:31.people who are stuck and they may have to borrow from relatives or

:23:32. > :23:34.friends or try to get a loan themselves, but even the Government

:23:35. > :23:37.admits if you have got a bad credit record you will not be able to get

:23:38. > :23:43.that loan. So there will be problems for many people. So why are these

:23:44. > :23:46.rules changing now? Why not stick to this flat fee of ?215 for everybody?

:23:47. > :23:51.Well, the Government has been quite open about that of the it is to

:23:52. > :23:56.raise money. This will raise 300 odd million pounds a year and that will

:23:57. > :24:01.help pay for the court service. It is being classified as tax in the

:24:02. > :24:05.national statistics, it is way beyond the cost that's estimated at

:24:06. > :24:08.less than ?200. They issue a single piece of paper saying you can go

:24:09. > :24:13.ahead and sort out the estate and it is to raise money. It is raising

:24:14. > :24:17.over ?300 million, it is a tax and they're going ahead with it because

:24:18. > :24:22.frankly they need the money and it was buried, if I can use the phrase

:24:23. > :24:27.in the Budget papers! We have known it was coming for a while with

:24:28. > :24:33.consultations and so on, but it is just to raise money.

:24:34. > :24:37.The time is 8.24am. You're watching Breakfast. It is time for a look at

:24:38. > :24:41.the newspapers. Financial analyst from Deloitte,

:24:42. > :25:03.Margaret Doyle is here to tell us The Duchess of Cambridge in Paris a

:25:04. > :25:10.the British Embassy last night. The first day of that official trip with

:25:11. > :25:24.Prince William. The Daily Mail, "Gog. Google on rack

:25:25. > :25:27.over cash from hate videos." The Daily Telegraph, Brexit is more

:25:28. > :25:31.important to voters than keeping the United Kingdom together. That's

:25:32. > :25:36.according to a Daily Telegraph poll. The last one is the Guardian

:25:37. > :25:41.newspaper. This is about George Osborne and his new jobment one of

:25:42. > :25:45.quite a few jobs he has. So he still is an MP. He is taking on this job

:25:46. > :25:53.as editor of the London Evening Standard Newspaper.

:25:54. > :25:57.Six jobs in total now. Do you want a quick thought on this? He is a very

:25:58. > :26:01.able man and he will make a great editor. Clearly, he will have lots

:26:02. > :26:04.of people questioning whether he can do that while continuing with the

:26:05. > :26:11.other roles that he has. So there will be lots of people who will look

:26:12. > :26:17.him to account. Paul was talking about wills. What's the store story

:26:18. > :26:21.you picked up? It is in the Financial Times money section. There

:26:22. > :26:27.was a case where a daughter who was cut out of her mother's will, took

:26:28. > :26:32.the place and went to the Supreme Court. Her mother wanted to cut her

:26:33. > :26:35.out of her ?500,000 and she ended up getting ?50,000, but the Supreme

:26:36. > :26:39.Court overruled an earlier court judgement that would have given her

:26:40. > :26:44.?163,000. Really what is at stake here is how much freedom does an

:26:45. > :26:48.individual have over their own will? The UK actually is pretty liberal in

:26:49. > :26:52.what it allows individuals to do. Many other countries stipulate

:26:53. > :26:56.exactly how much you have to leave. So Ireland, you have to leave money

:26:57. > :27:01.to your spouse or to your children. In France, there are very strict

:27:02. > :27:07.rules. Anyone who had property in France will know this, but the UK is

:27:08. > :27:12.liberal. But what this says is that it basically restrigts the amount

:27:13. > :27:15.that a child can demand from their parent's estate when they have been

:27:16. > :27:21.cut outment she did get something, but the Supreme Court said no, your

:27:22. > :27:25.mother wanted to cut you out. One of the lessons from this is, if you do

:27:26. > :27:31.want to write an unusual will, what the lawyers are saying is make sure

:27:32. > :27:38.you're explicit, write a letter as well explaining your reasoning. Such

:27:39. > :27:41.a personal issue this, isn't it? You picked out the story from The Sun

:27:42. > :27:45.which is linked. It is played out publicly? Wills are a public

:27:46. > :27:51.document. There is a good reason for wills to be a public document

:27:52. > :28:01.because you don't want relatives to hide away assets. Victoria Wood left

:28:02. > :28:05.money to charity and almost half to her children and she left her house,

:28:06. > :28:09.she had a house in London and the Lake District. She left both to her

:28:10. > :28:12.children. She left legacies to her siblings and friends and god

:28:13. > :28:17.children, but nothing for her ex-husband. That you could say is

:28:18. > :28:22.not surprising. Normally you're adviced to revise your will after

:28:23. > :28:26.you get divorced and the will is invalidated by a big life event like

:28:27. > :28:31.having children or getting divorced, but he was with her when she died

:28:32. > :28:37.and the lesson is here, just be careful with wills because they have

:28:38. > :28:42.the ability to cause pain, bitterness, anguish... Years and

:28:43. > :28:46.years to come. Family rows for years to come. Think carefully. Tell us

:28:47. > :28:51.about this story, the Imperial War Museum? It is 100 years old this

:28:52. > :28:56.year. Unusually they were thinking about setting up a museum about war

:28:57. > :29:01.in the middle of the Great War, the First World War as we've come to

:29:02. > :29:06.know it and the Times is claiming it's part in the story of the

:29:07. > :29:10.Imperial War Museum because there was an editorial in the Times saying

:29:11. > :29:14.it was a good ideament they were actually copying France which is

:29:18. > :29:22.so many weapons that they said the public needs to understand this and

:29:23. > :29:26.therefore, we should set-up a museum to teach the public about what life

:29:27. > :29:31.is like at the front because this was the first total war. So, very

:29:32. > :29:35.kind of noble ambitions and in fact, it was done very, very quickly and

:29:36. > :29:43.the museum was set-up later that same year. How is your tea intake so

:29:44. > :29:49.far this morning? Very low. I'm, I've had a decaff latte. How have

:29:50. > :29:57.you fared this morning? One tea and one coffee so far. Two teas and one

:29:58. > :29:59.coffee. Pay parentally you're at lower risk of getting dementia

:30:00. > :30:04.because you have a high uptake of tea. This is a study that suggests

:30:05. > :30:08.if you drink a lot of tea, it will lower your risk of dementia. We get

:30:09. > :30:12.a lot of medical studies and of course, I think we have to wait and

:30:13. > :30:16.that's what the at dimers society is saying, let's wait and see. It is

:30:17. > :30:19.early days yet because caffeine, of course, is not really terrifically

:30:20. > :30:24.good for other things particularly for the heart. It causes tremors and

:30:25. > :30:30.all sorts of other things. So, they do say the Alzheimer's Society that

:30:31. > :30:36.you should eat healthily, exercise, and give up smoking and frankly

:30:37. > :30:39.that's advice that's good if you want to avoid a whole host of other

:30:40. > :30:50.illnesses, diabetes, heart disease, cancer. Thank you, doctor! We will

:30:51. > :31:26.see you in an hour. We will have the headlines in a moment.

:31:27. > :31:31.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Tina Daheley.

:31:32. > :31:33.Coming up before 9am, Ben will have the weather.

:31:34. > :31:36.But first, a summary of this morning's main news.

:31:37. > :31:58.The Deputy Leader of the SNP Angus Robertson has told BBC

:31:59. > :32:02.Breakfast it's a matter of when not if a second referendum on Scottish

:32:03. > :32:10.He was responding to Gordon Brown's call for more powers for Scotland

:32:11. > :32:12.after Brexit to prevent the United Kingdom from splitting.

:32:13. > :32:19.27 member nations are going to have a choice, and make decisions about

:32:20. > :32:23.Scotland. I did not think it is sustainable to deny a referendum. I

:32:24. > :32:28.think it is going to happen regardless of any idea that Gordon

:32:29. > :32:33.Brown comes up with when we know that things are really in trouble.

:32:34. > :32:35.The Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale joins us now

:32:36. > :32:47.The third option, we have heard this before. Why now? Is this just about

:32:48. > :32:53.undermining Nicola Sturgeon's plans for a second referendum Clinton?

:32:54. > :33:00.undermining Nicola Sturgeon's plans for a second referendum Can I

:33:01. > :33:03.against another referendum because of the immense cost. It is no wonder

:33:04. > :33:15.Labour figures are looking for alternatives to talk up, and that is

:33:16. > :33:23.why Gordon Brown is talking today, discussing... I think it is a good

:33:24. > :33:27.intervention and one that the vast majority of Scots will welcome. Can

:33:28. > :33:32.you see what this looks like? Gordon Brown being used as a last resort.

:33:33. > :33:36.This happened just before the referendum as well, and again with

:33:37. > :33:41.Nicola Sturgeon calling for a second referendum. I have been arguing for

:33:42. > :33:45.federalism in Scotland for months. A few weeks ago I took a proposal to

:33:46. > :34:01.my party conference which was backed almost unanimously by the party.

:34:02. > :34:04.This is what we stand for here in Scotland. We're rejecting

:34:05. > :34:07.nationalism that the SNP advocate because of the impact on public

:34:08. > :34:09.services, but also rejecting the Tories' hard Brexit and austerity

:34:10. > :34:12.that would bring. I do not think Scotland want to be forged between

:34:13. > :34:14.these two choices. Got to see a country, together after years of

:34:15. > :34:17.division will stop let us talk about the future, what can we do with the

:34:18. > :34:20.power was coming back from Brussels to create the type of Scotland Bill

:34:21. > :34:22.want to see? And is not asked about Scotland. A federal solution would

:34:23. > :34:28.mean a whole change to the United Kingdom about who has power, how it

:34:29. > :34:33.is exercised. You have figures like Carwyn Jones in Wales calling for a

:34:34. > :34:36.similar thing. And Mayor of London arguing for more powers in London.

:34:37. > :34:40.It is an exciting thing to talk about the future of the whole of the

:34:41. > :34:44.United Kingdom. You talk about the future, but this is the past,

:34:45. > :34:50.history repeating itself. We have heard about the proposals, so what

:34:51. > :34:55.is new this time round? When Gordon Brown made his intervention in the

:34:56. > :35:00.2014 referendum campaign, there was a proposal for new powers to come to

:35:01. > :35:06.the Scottish parliament which have been fulfilled. We just had a

:35:07. > :35:09.Scotland act. The reason we're back here is not because of the Labour

:35:10. > :35:12.Party, it is because of the reckless gamble on Brexit. We're leaving the

:35:13. > :35:17.European Union. Those powers are coming back to Britain, and I think

:35:18. > :35:20.it is right that even Scotland the Labour Party are seeing the power

:35:21. > :35:31.should come to Scotland, not for London to choose. The people of

:35:32. > :35:37.Scotland should have the powers to create the Scotland we want... Here

:35:38. > :35:42.in Scotland it is about finding an answer, it respects the result of

:35:43. > :35:44.the referendum in 2014, and also recognises Scotland wants a

:35:45. > :35:50.different relationship with Europe than the rest of the UK. Jeremy

:35:51. > :35:55.Corbyn has said in response to this, he was questioned about the second

:35:56. > :36:05.referendum, and said he's absolutely fine. He very quickly rectified his

:36:06. > :36:08.words, and has said he was opposed to an independence referendum

:36:09. > :36:16.because of the turbo-charged austerity it would bring. 15,000

:36:17. > :36:22.million less to spend on schools and possible. I am going to continue to

:36:23. > :36:24.champion the idea about bringing the country back together, remaining

:36:25. > :36:34.part of the United Kingdom and making the best of a bad situation.

:36:35. > :36:39.Thank you very much indeed. Want to bring you a piece of breaking news.

:36:40. > :36:49.We're getting reports that there is a police operation underway at Orly

:36:50. > :36:52.International Airport, a man has been shot dead after trying to seize

:36:53. > :36:59.the weapon of a soldier. These reports are coming in from a news

:37:00. > :37:03.agency, but at the moment we know that these as a security operation

:37:04. > :37:07.underway, and reports are that one man has been shot dead, reports are

:37:08. > :37:11.suggesting he tried to seize a weapon from a soldier who was on

:37:12. > :37:13.duty there are. We will bring you more details on that story as soon

:37:14. > :37:18.as it comes in. The first British soldiers have

:37:19. > :37:21.arrived in Estonia as part of the largest deployment of British

:37:22. > :37:23.troops to Europe since Over the next few weeks a total

:37:24. > :37:28.of 800 British soldiers and hundreds of military vehicles will be sent

:37:29. > :37:31.to the Baltic state in an attempt The American surveillance agency,

:37:32. > :37:35.the NSA, has rejected suggestions that British agents spied

:37:36. > :37:37.on Donald Trump, at the request On Wednesday, a White House

:37:38. > :37:46.spokesman discussed an allegation that GCHQ was asked to tap

:37:47. > :37:49.Mr Trump's calls last year. Downing Street says it's been

:37:50. > :37:51.reassured by Washington What would be the advantage

:37:52. > :38:02.to the UK government of doing The cost would be immense

:38:03. > :38:06.in comparison to any value, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:38:07. > :38:12.will meet victims of the attack on the Bataclan concert hall

:38:13. > :38:14.in Paris today. Last night, the royal couple had

:38:15. > :38:17.dinner at the British embassy, where Prince William spoke

:38:18. > :38:18.of the enduring ties The visit is part of the British

:38:19. > :38:22.government's charm offensive in Europe ahead of the start

:38:23. > :38:31.of Brexit talks. New research suggests the idyllic

:38:32. > :38:34.image some people have of the countryside is masking

:38:35. > :38:36.pockets of poverty, poor health and social isolation that can

:38:37. > :38:38.exist in rural areas. The report by Public Health England

:38:39. > :38:41.and the Local Government Association says official statistics are often

:38:42. > :38:43.skewed towards gathering information about people living

:38:44. > :38:56.in towns and cities. Those are the main

:38:57. > :39:04.stories this morning. So England's men are in Dublin,

:39:05. > :39:07.today chasing a world record, 19th consecutive wins

:39:08. > :39:09.and a second grand slam Ireland have spoiled the party

:39:10. > :39:28.before, in 2011. We will have more on this

:39:29. > :39:30.in a few minutes, but England's women have

:39:31. > :39:32.already shown how to win A victory for either

:39:33. > :39:36.Ireland or England would have secured the title,

:39:37. > :39:39.but it was England who ran away with it, with 5 tries,

:39:40. > :39:41.sealing a 34-7 win. It's the first time they've won

:39:42. > :39:51.the competition since 2012. An Irish journalist whispered

:39:52. > :39:53.to me at Cheltenham, early yesterday, "Sizing John",

:39:54. > :39:56.and he was right, as the 7-1 shot won the Gold Cup to give trainer,

:39:57. > :39:58.Jessica Harrington, victory with her first entry,

:39:59. > :40:00.in the famous race. The favourite, Djakadam,

:40:01. > :40:02.finished in fourth after hitting a fence and Sizing John powered

:40:03. > :40:05.clear to repeat his triumph Jockey Robbie Power also rode

:40:06. > :40:23.the 2007 Grand National Good morning. The Premier League is

:40:24. > :40:31.a one horse race. Well, you cannot just have a one horse race! No, it

:40:32. > :40:34.is just a horse. Ten points clear, beat Manchester United in the FA

:40:35. > :40:39.Cup. There is such confidence in the side. We're hearing from Pedro

:40:40. > :40:44.today. We're on early because of the six Nations, so the whole bill up to

:40:45. > :40:51.the afternoon is rugby dominated. We're on for half an hour at

:40:52. > :40:58.11:30am. We will also fuel from Eddie Howe, the Bournemouth manager.

:40:59. > :41:03.A big wind for them last week. Five of the bottom six sides have changed

:41:04. > :41:06.their manager this season. So it is so important for teams like

:41:07. > :41:13.Bournemouth to pick up the points to get themselves away from trouble.

:41:14. > :41:19.He'd is a bit of the interview with. You have got to be different things

:41:20. > :41:23.to the players. I would not say there is one category, some danger

:41:24. > :41:28.to be supportive, sometimes you have to be strict, it depends on the

:41:29. > :41:38.situation. I would like to think I could be there if the players need

:41:39. > :41:44.me on an emotional level. On the pitch, in terms of their playing

:41:45. > :41:48.games, I will be very direct in terms of what I want, that is for

:41:49. > :41:53.sure. It is very important that there is an expectation to say, this

:41:54. > :41:57.is what I want from you as a player. And honest assessment from Eddie

:41:58. > :42:03.Howe. We also have Steve Brooks, Dion Dublin, mandate -- Manchester

:42:04. > :42:09.United team-mates talking about Aston Villa. We will have a look at

:42:10. > :42:14.Manchester city and Liverpool, a big game tomorrow. That is just a

:42:15. > :42:21.reminder, 11:30am on BBC One. For half an hour. Batters ahead of the

:42:22. > :42:26.six Nations, Scotland against Italy. Have you ever had any animal

:42:27. > :42:38.incidents on the golf course? I was once playing with a friend who hit

:42:39. > :42:47.as one in the neck. -- a swan. Not in anger! It was a drive down the

:42:48. > :42:59.middle, went a bit low, and Hecht a swan. Quickly moving on!

:43:00. > :43:00.Smylie Kaufman was leisurely strolling up

:43:01. > :43:03.to the green, unware of that alligator in the rough

:43:04. > :43:19.This is an osprey. We have had a bit of fun with fishy golf names.

:43:20. > :43:21.The fish might just be a Dory Mackerel,

:43:22. > :43:48.And you are known for doing your top teams. Cod Hamilton. Ernie Eels.

:43:49. > :44:00.Eduardo Calamari. Every golfer wants a sole in one.

:44:01. > :44:08.I think the best so far is Cod-rig Herrington. I have been told to move

:44:09. > :44:39.on! We're going to talk about rugby. The six Nations.

:44:40. > :44:42.So as we've been hearing it's a tense day for England

:44:43. > :44:46.Eddie Jones's side haven't lost since 2015, and indeed since he took

:44:47. > :44:48.over, but Ireland have a tradition of ambushing, the men

:44:49. > :44:59.They will be dancing all-round Landsdowne Road. England not taking

:45:00. > :45:17.their place. What a flourish, what a performance! And he scores for

:45:18. > :45:27.Ireland! It is going to be the dashing of England's Grand Slam

:45:28. > :45:32.hopes. You're either a success and failure. We're going to achieve

:45:33. > :45:35.greatness now. Winning back-to-back grand slams. That kicks off at five

:45:36. > :45:42.o'clock this afternoon. Joining us now from Dublin and, Ireland

:45:43. > :45:46.international Mike Ross. I know how much Ireland are on a roll after a

:45:47. > :45:56.great performance at the races at Cheltenham, how much would it mean

:45:57. > :45:59.to the nation for them to beat Eddie Jones's England? They would love it.

:46:00. > :46:04.It has not been a great six Nations for Ireland, we have lost two games,

:46:05. > :46:08.and the last thing you want to do after heading out of the

:46:09. > :46:13.international environment is quite to a loss. Here, at home, six

:46:14. > :46:20.Nations, that is a lot for them at stake. Is it easier to be the party

:46:21. > :46:26.pooper than a team who has all the pressure on them? It probably is,

:46:27. > :46:30.but that said, Ireland would love to be in the situation we're in now.

:46:31. > :46:36.We're going through consecutive grand slams which has not been done

:46:37. > :46:43.before, so it is a great bit of history to make. The boys wish they

:46:44. > :46:48.would in that situation. -- wished. Ireland had a famous wind over New

:46:49. > :46:57.Zealand, and then they lost one. How do you feel watching those games?

:46:58. > :47:07.England join the all Black figures, who hold the record at the moment.

:47:08. > :47:13.They compare favourably. It would have been against southern

:47:14. > :47:20.hemisphere opposition, it is just a difference and where we play. What

:47:21. > :47:29.is key for Ireland today? Basically just getting in the England faces? I

:47:30. > :47:33.think key to us is making sure our defence is spot-on, that our

:47:34. > :47:37.line-out functions well, because England are very dangerous in the

:47:38. > :47:43.park and you do not want to give them a turnover ball. Scotland found

:47:44. > :47:49.that out to their cost. I mentioned earlier that England came a cropper

:47:50. > :47:53.with the Grand Slam relations -- ambitions in 2011. How does the

:47:54. > :48:00.Ireland team compare with that and I be capable of doing it again? I

:48:01. > :48:05.played in the 2011 team, and I think the personnel we had then versus

:48:06. > :48:13.mode compares favourably. That I think England have a better team now

:48:14. > :48:20.than then. To be honest, I think it is going to be very tough for

:48:21. > :48:26.Ireland, but if we do it, we will have a very good chance. England

:48:27. > :48:33.need to bring the Scottish form with them, to have a chance of winning

:48:34. > :48:43.themselves. What has impressed you most about Eddie Jones, they have

:48:44. > :48:46.not lost under him? He seems a very smart rugby coach. When the are

:48:47. > :48:52.playing, they are very difficult to defend against, lots of runners

:48:53. > :48:59.coming from different corners. They play a wide expanse of game, and are

:49:00. > :49:08.nice to watch at times. Would you like to give as a prediction? I

:49:09. > :49:13.think it will be close. I certainly hope it is not a similar result to

:49:14. > :49:20.the Scotland match, but I think Ireland will probably wind by 45

:49:21. > :49:22.points. That would make me happy. I'll bet! The game should be a

:49:23. > :49:32.fantastic atmosphere. And to balance And we will be speaking to former

:49:33. > :49:42.England international We'll just remind you of a story

:49:43. > :49:54.that's just breaking this morning - A man has been shot dead at one

:49:55. > :49:58.of the main airports in Paris, This is the scene at

:49:59. > :50:04.Paris-Orly - where a police People have been told to avoid the

:50:05. > :50:09.airport while the operation is underway. This happened this

:50:10. > :50:13.morning, and is part of the operation around Paris protecting

:50:14. > :50:18.sensitive sites that we know about. France's under a state of emergency

:50:19. > :50:25.at the moment, following a number of attacks. We understand that the

:50:26. > :50:32.sequence of events, a man tried to seize the weapon of a soldier. One

:50:33. > :50:42.of the soldiers who was guarding Paris Orly airport. The moment -- at

:50:43. > :50:45.the moment the airport remains closed. This is the immediate

:50:46. > :50:52.aftermath. We will keep you up-to-date with that. Line the time

:50:53. > :50:57.is 8:50am. Let us have a look at the weather.

:50:58. > :51:05.Many of you are getting the day of the rack the start. People are

:51:06. > :51:09.waking up to views like this one in Derbyshire. Throughout the day, we

:51:10. > :51:14.will have mild conditions, breezy conditions and rain at times for

:51:15. > :51:20.some of us. Most of the rain is out West. This line of moisture

:51:21. > :51:24.streaming across the Atlantic. The western areas will be exposed to

:51:25. > :51:28.that, so it is the West that will see most of the rain. To the east,

:51:29. > :51:34.that is a bit more shelter, more in the way of dry weather and sunshine.

:51:35. > :51:38.If you are about to head out this is how it will look at ten o'clock. In

:51:39. > :51:42.the north-east of Scotland it is chilly. Fairly bright, with sunshine

:51:43. > :51:48.and wintry showers. Further south more cloud, and in Northern Ireland

:51:49. > :51:51.heavy rain is moving in. North-east England has shelter from the

:51:52. > :51:56.Pennines, with a chance of seeing greatness. A similar story for the

:51:57. > :52:03.south-east. Thicker cloud and spots of drizzle. It is not as windy as it

:52:04. > :52:10.was yesterday. Throughout the day there will be a lot of cloud. Rain

:52:11. > :52:15.in the West. Some of it will be heavy. The eastern areas have a

:52:16. > :52:20.chance of seeing some brightness. Fairly chilly across Scotland, five

:52:21. > :52:30.in Lerwick. 15 in London. If there is brightness, there may be looking

:52:31. > :52:36.at 16 degrees. The odd spot of rain for the six Nations, but the

:52:37. > :52:41.emphasis in Edinburgh is probably dry weather. Later on, the rain will

:52:42. > :52:46.move up through Northern Ireland and Scotland. Some drizzle through Wales

:52:47. > :52:51.and the generally dry across the South West. Tomorrow we have this

:52:52. > :52:53.band of rain through Northern Ireland and southern Scotland,

:52:54. > :53:01.moving into Wales and the Midlands, fizzling as it goes. Behind it,

:53:02. > :53:05.showers turning cooler. It will be largely cloudy, with brightness

:53:06. > :53:24.towards the south-east, with highs of 17 degrees.

:53:25. > :53:27.Two schoolchildren have won an award for inventing technology that can

:53:28. > :53:29.predict an epileptic seizure up to eight minutes in advance.

:53:30. > :53:32.To explain how the MediVest works, we're joined by its creators

:53:33. > :53:34.and winners of the UK Young Engineer of the Year, Sankha and David.

:53:35. > :53:39.Also joining them is their teacher, Daljit Kaur

:53:40. > :53:50.Good morning to you. So we have the best. David, you said this is very

:53:51. > :53:59.strict and for today. Just talk us through what you were trying to

:54:00. > :54:06.achieve. We're trying to achieve with Medi-vest, predicting an

:54:07. > :54:11.epileptic fit before it occurs. So we're trying to calm them down, get

:54:12. > :54:14.them into an environment where they can be themselves, they do not have

:54:15. > :54:20.to stand out and worry all the time. So the vest uses two types of

:54:21. > :54:25.variables. Temperature sensors, which we have here, and also heart

:54:26. > :54:29.rate sensors. We do not have them on the vest at the moment, because we

:54:30. > :54:37.have been warned about taking all the technology and showing it to

:54:38. > :54:40.everyone. Very canny. So it takes the information and runs it through

:54:51. > :54:54.comfortable and possibly self medicate so they cannot have a

:54:55. > :54:59.seizure. Why did you come up with this idea in particular, why did you

:55:00. > :55:05.focus on epileptic seizures? It is about an experience I had two

:55:06. > :55:08.usable. I saw someone have an epileptic seizure and convulse. That

:55:09. > :55:13.drove me to research what was going on in the UK for these people, what

:55:14. > :55:20.medication is there that they can get, what the NHS does, what you can

:55:21. > :55:28.get privately. And I found that there is very little, actually. With

:55:29. > :55:35.our medical scape, it is so much filled with the junior doctors

:55:36. > :55:44.crisis, and influx of diabetes. One in 103 of as have epilepsy, and it

:55:45. > :55:48.is often overshadowed. Someone very close to me suffered from epilepsy

:55:49. > :55:53.when I was growing up, and it is terrifying for a person who has it,

:55:54. > :55:55.but also a few around all the time and worried about triggering a

:55:56. > :56:03.seizure or when it is going to happen. This would really help if

:56:04. > :56:06.you can get to save space and get help. Totally. We all have that

:56:07. > :56:11.person. We all have a family friend or relative that has epilepsy. It is

:56:12. > :56:17.so common, yet we never think about it something -- as something we have

:56:18. > :56:22.to queue. You must be a very proud teacher. Some ideas are very simple.

:56:23. > :56:27.I did not mean to disparage it at all. But you wonder why no one has

:56:28. > :56:31.thought of this before. Batter straight. Students come up with

:56:32. > :56:42.ideas, and I do not deter them, we had a look to see how we could make

:56:43. > :56:48.this work. -- at is right. We were speaking to the students and saying,

:56:49. > :56:54.how about this and that? These boys have done a superb job, two years of

:56:55. > :56:57.hard work and learning how to use electronics and everything,

:56:58. > :57:02.culminating in an amazing result. Brilliant. And you are fresh from

:57:03. > :57:07.collecting this award a couple of nights ago. What has the reaction

:57:08. > :57:13.been? It has been absolutely crazy. We went back yesterday, and it has

:57:14. > :57:15.been like a hotline, inundated with phone calls. So many people in the

:57:16. > :57:23.community will appreciate something like this. The demand is there a.

:57:24. > :57:28.Can I ask David, briefly, how close are you to having a proper working

:57:29. > :57:37.model? At the moment we are a bit of a way off, but that is because we

:57:38. > :57:39.are very busy. We have GCSEs in less than two months. What we are mainly

:57:40. > :57:44.looking for is partners and sponsors to work with us so we can bring it

:57:45. > :57:48.to market as soon as possible because, really, we want the idea to

:57:49. > :57:53.get out there and help people. That is the whole point of the concept,

:57:54. > :57:59.it is not about us to make a quick buck, it is to make is help people

:58:00. > :58:03.in the real world. Very impressive. Thank you so much, congratulations

:58:04. > :58:17.on your work. Thank you. And good luck with your GCSEs.

:58:18. > :58:19.It was one of the world's worst environmental disasters.

:58:20. > :58:21.50 years ago, the super tanker Torrey Canyon

:58:22. > :58:23.hit rocks off Cornwall, spilling hundreds of thousands

:58:24. > :58:31.Around 15,000 birds died and parts of the British and French coasts

:58:32. > :58:57.The army, the RAF and the Navy are involved, along with 78 Fire Brigade

:58:58. > :59:01.is. Among them fire officers Eric and John. John recorded the event as

:59:02. > :59:09.an official photographer. Today they are recalling the horrors of what

:59:10. > :59:14.they find. The smell, that hit you first. The smell. You got your feet

:59:15. > :59:23.on it and slid all over the place. It was horrible, it really was. It

:59:24. > :59:30.was like the scum around the bar. All event all the cliffs around us.

:59:31. > :59:32.Over the next few days, tens of thousands of tonnes of detergent was

:59:33. > :59:38.sprayed over the beaches, to try to break up the oil. The main role of

:59:39. > :59:44.the Fire Service was setting in pumps, washing down after the

:59:45. > :59:51.detergent was applied to the rocks or the sand or whatever. There has

:59:52. > :59:55.been some criticism now because of the detergent because that caused

:59:56. > :59:58.problems in itself. That is true. I heard in the end it would have

:59:59. > :00:04.probably been better just to let nature do its thing. Because the

:00:05. > :00:08.organisms in the sand and everything would have eaten it faster than what

:00:09. > :00:14.we did by killing the organisms by putting detergent on it. It was an

:00:15. > :00:19.environmental catastrophe. 15,000 sea birds died after being covered

:00:20. > :00:23.in oil. A week after she was grounded, the vessel started to

:00:24. > :00:28.break up, releasing even more oil into the sea. The decision was taken

:00:29. > :00:34.to destroy all the vessel. For two days, the RAF and Navy bombed the

:00:35. > :00:41.ship, and dropped napalm to try to burn the oil. You could see the

:00:42. > :00:48.smoke. It was clear. You could see it. Occasionally the smell would

:00:49. > :00:53.come ashore above the smell of the others. It was not an main thing --

:00:54. > :00:55.and I think. It sank leaving behind a legacy that would last for many

:00:56. > :01:21.years. We are back in just a moment. Hello, this is Breakfast

:02:45. > :02:46.handed a raft of new powers after Brexit to prevent

:02:47. > :02:49.the United Kingdom from splitting. The former Prime Minister will use

:02:50. > :02:51.a speech today to put forward his "third option"

:02:52. > :02:53.for Scotland's future. His intervention comes as the SNP

:02:54. > :02:56.leader Nicola Sturgeon addresses her Our Political Correspondent

:02:57. > :03:01.Iain Watson reports. Nicola Sturgeon has been

:03:02. > :03:04.saying what her members That a second referendum in Scottish

:03:05. > :03:09.independence should happen before But she knows she has

:03:10. > :03:15.to broaden her support beyond her power base

:03:16. > :03:19.so she will argue her call for a referendum isn't just

:03:20. > :03:21.about standing up for Scotland, When Nicola Sturgeon takes

:03:22. > :03:24.to this stage later today, she will repeat her demand

:03:25. > :03:26.for a second But it looks like Theresa May

:03:27. > :03:31.isn't for turning. The SNP see their call

:03:32. > :03:33.for a referendum as a win-win because either Theresa May gives

:03:34. > :03:37.in in their time scale or they believe that her refusal

:03:38. > :03:41.to do so will help them build support for independence

:03:42. > :03:47.in the slightly longer term. I think Theresa May trying to deny

:03:48. > :03:50.the Scottish people their say on this is something she will have

:03:51. > :03:53.cause to regret, but I think the longer Theresa May tries to deny

:03:54. > :03:56.the people of Scotland their say, the better it is for

:03:57. > :04:00.the campaign for independence. This is everyone's flag,

:04:01. > :04:04.everyone's country. Everyone's culture

:04:05. > :04:08.and everyone's streets. This former Prime Minister

:04:09. > :04:10.was credited with saving the Union, when he passionately campaigned

:04:11. > :04:11.against independence This time, he says, after Brexit,

:04:18. > :04:20.to break its links Gordon Brown is calling

:04:21. > :04:25.for a federal United Kingdom with the Scottish Parliament taking

:04:31. > :04:36.prospective the choice An independent Scotland that

:04:37. > :04:55.wants to be in the EU, A man has been shot dead at one of

:04:56. > :04:59.the main airports in Paris after taking a soldier's gun. Yes, a

:05:00. > :05:04.police operation Sunday way at the airport right now. Police there are

:05:05. > :05:08.saying a man was shot to death after trying to seize the weapon of a

:05:09. > :05:13.soldier who was guarding the airport. The latest information from

:05:14. > :05:18.the airport, this is Orly Airport is the security operation is underway

:05:19. > :05:22.there. They're conducting, the police are conducting a bomb sweep

:05:23. > :05:27.to ensure the dead man was not wearing an explosive belt. We're

:05:28. > :05:30.getting confirmation from the Interior Ministry. We can speak to

:05:31. > :05:37.our Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield now. Hugh, just take us

:05:38. > :05:42.through the sequence of events. It was at 8.30am our time this

:05:43. > :05:46.happened. So an hour-and-a-half ago. We started getting word of it in

:05:47. > :05:52.tweets about 20 minutes after that. A man, as you said, approached, made

:05:53. > :05:58.at a patrol of soldiers at Orly South Terminal. If you have been in

:05:59. > :06:02.Paris you will know there are soldiers regularly patrolling places

:06:03. > :06:07.like airports. They go around in groups of two or four. A man

:06:08. > :06:11.attacked one of these men and succeeded in seizing the gun from

:06:12. > :06:17.him and he then ran with the gun into a shop on the concourse inside

:06:18. > :06:23.at Orly South terminal and at that point there were shots fired and it

:06:24. > :06:29.is not known if the man opened fire first, but he was shot dead by

:06:30. > :06:35.security forces we're told, we're not clear if that was the other

:06:36. > :06:39.soldiers or plain clothed people, he was shot dead, but that's not the

:06:40. > :06:47.end of the matter, as you said there is a security sweep going on and a

:06:48. > :06:52.total lockdown. All people who are waiting to board were taken out of

:06:53. > :06:55.the airport and are clocking up the access roads as specialist police

:06:56. > :06:59.arrive and right now, are checking to see if the man was wearing an

:07:00. > :07:02.explosive belt and checking to see if there is another or other

:07:03. > :07:10.accomplices hiding in the building. So, there is a scene not of chaos,

:07:11. > :07:14.but of severe disruption at Orly Airport and anyone travelling there

:07:15. > :07:17.today will find their plans, certainly this morning, having to be

:07:18. > :07:20.put on hold. Hugh, we know, of course, trance is in a heightened

:07:21. > :07:26.security alert as it stands at the moment anyway. There are reports

:07:27. > :07:29.from one of the other news agencies, cautious about how we report these,

:07:30. > :07:34.but of a separate incident north of Paris at a road check, do you know

:07:35. > :07:38.anything about that? Well, I know probably what you're seeing on the

:07:39. > :07:43.wires which is that there was a separate incident, but at the moment

:07:44. > :07:48.there is nothing to link the two. This happened half an hour before

:07:49. > :07:51.the airport incident. It was a road check on the north side of Paris. So

:07:52. > :07:58.the other side of Paris from Orly Airport. So a road check. The police

:07:59. > :08:01.stopped a car. The man instead of producing his documents produced a

:08:02. > :08:06.gun and fired at the police, injuring, wounding one of them and

:08:07. > :08:09.made off in the car. It maybe completely unrelated to Orly. There

:08:10. > :08:14.is nothing to suggest that it is related to Orly, but until they can

:08:15. > :08:17.rule out a connection I suppose police investigators will be keeping

:08:18. > :08:21.open a possible dwrilt that there is a connection between the two. Hugh,

:08:22. > :08:24.thank you very much. Our correspondent Hugh Schofield,

:08:25. > :08:29.Orly Airport just to remind you. This is breaking news. A man has

:08:30. > :08:34.been shot dead after grabbing a soldier's gun at Orly Airport. It is

:08:35. > :08:37.understood that the man approached a police officer and we can see the

:08:38. > :08:42.major security operation underway there as we speak. Visitors are

:08:43. > :08:45.being warned to avoid the airport while the police operation is going

:08:46. > :08:47.on. We will, of course, keep you

:08:48. > :08:53.up-to-date on those developments. The first British soldiers have

:08:54. > :08:56.arrived in Estonia as part of the largest deployment of British

:08:57. > :08:58.troops to Europe since Over the next few weeks a total

:08:59. > :09:03.of 800 British soldiers and hundreds of military vehicles will be sent

:09:04. > :09:06.to the Baltic state as Nato forces Our Defence Correspondent

:09:07. > :09:10.Jonathan Beale reports. The British Army has been

:09:11. > :09:14.preparing for this moment. These tanks took part in a final

:09:15. > :09:17.exercise in Germany ahead And they're now among 300 military

:09:18. > :09:27.vehicles that have been loaded on to a ferry destined for the small

:09:33. > :09:37.are trained and ready to go, not just alert to any military

:09:38. > :09:39.threat, but also from other Do you think the threat is more

:09:40. > :09:52.military or do you think it is Russians playing game

:09:53. > :09:54.and using social media and fake news You hear about cyber threat

:09:55. > :09:59.and all of that stuff, but again, we've trained

:10:00. > :10:01.for every eventualality. There is obviously a credible threat

:10:02. > :10:08.just over the border, but I think These are the first of 800 British

:10:09. > :10:17.troops who will be arriving in Estonia over the next few weeks

:10:18. > :10:20.and it is just the start of what could be a long,

:10:21. > :10:22.open-ended deployment to deter They're not expecting to go to war,

:10:23. > :10:30.but these soldiers will still be caught up in the rising tensions

:10:31. > :10:33.between Russia and the west. The US, Canada and Germany are also

:12:44. > :12:47.lovely place to live and life couldn't be better? Very often it

:12:48. > :12:51.is, but we have real problems in rural areas. I think what this

:12:52. > :12:55.report shows and it has only been in the public domain a couple of hours

:12:56. > :13:00.and I have only see the executive summary, what we have always known

:13:01. > :13:06.that there are statistics and the problems we have got is the systems

:13:07. > :13:10.we use to measure hept, deprivation, those kinds of things miss things

:13:11. > :13:14.out. To give the best example, one of the examples of prosperity, if

:13:15. > :13:19.you like, do you own a car? Now, in London, you don't have to own a car.

:13:20. > :13:23.You have got seven different modes of public transport at the last

:13:24. > :13:27.count. In my neck of the woods families on modest incomes will keep

:13:28. > :13:30.cars together with duck tape and anything else and try and keep two

:13:31. > :13:35.on the road because without the car you can't do a job. There is no

:13:36. > :13:42.public transport, but it looks wealthy. I have a patch of my, the

:13:43. > :13:46.area where I practise, where we have the two areas of real noted

:13:47. > :13:52.deprivation in the Peak District, yet in the same patch are three of

:13:53. > :13:56.the Times 100 Rich List. I know rural areas aren't the same, but

:13:57. > :14:01.just an example of how far somebody would have to travel to see their

:14:02. > :14:07.GP? Increasingly further is the very short take home message. Currently,

:14:08. > :14:11.the average patient is around, I think, it's five or six kilometres,

:14:12. > :14:16.three or four miles to their doctor's. Not a walking distance.

:14:17. > :14:21.Many people living in cities take for granted. As the delivery of

:14:22. > :14:26.healthcare becomes more complex you can no do Dr Finlay out of the front

:14:27. > :14:29.room medicine, you have got to do it in specialised premises. The

:14:30. > :14:32.Government is wanting to squeeze efficiencies and practises are

:14:33. > :14:37.having to merge. Branch practises are closing so that figure is

:14:38. > :14:42.already out of date. And the figures for travel to hospitals, I think,

:14:43. > :14:45.45% of people in rural areas are more than, I think, it is eight or

:14:46. > :14:49.nine miles from a hospital. That's going to get bigger because we're

:14:50. > :14:54.closing community hospitals, right, left and centre. Nine will close in

:14:55. > :14:57.Derbyshire alone. How do you address the problem of accurately assessing

:14:58. > :15:03.of what life is really like for people? The truth is until now the

:15:04. > :15:06.measures that have been used have been the easy materialistic

:15:07. > :15:11.measures, do you own a car? You have to look at other things. People talk

:15:12. > :15:14.about broadband. One megabit per second, an utter luxury in some

:15:15. > :15:21.parts of where I live. It is the whole business of if we are going to

:15:22. > :15:24.populate this country reasonably evenly rather than concentrate

:15:25. > :15:27.everything in London and the South East, we've got to build the

:15:28. > :15:30.infrastructure. If you look at the statistics, it is not about

:15:31. > :15:34.population density because there are many parts of this country you would

:15:35. > :15:39.think, oh, that's a town. Yes, but it's an isolated town. It's 25, 30

:15:40. > :15:44.miles to the next town where there might be a hospital. There are huge

:15:45. > :15:49.swathes of ruralality and isolation where that population does not get

:15:50. > :15:53.the same service, but pays the same taxes as those in the connobations.

:16:03. > :16:11.at this morning's weather. How is it looking? For some of us,

:16:12. > :16:15.it is not looking too bad. We have managed to catch a sunrise in

:16:19. > :16:22.and at times the brightest weather. Further west, that was the scene

:16:23. > :16:26.earlier in West Wales. A lot of cloud around. Jnly most of us will

:16:27. > :16:29.be cloudy today. Mild, breezy and there will be some rain at times.

:16:30. > :16:35.Again, most of that will be in the west. It is because of this stripe

:16:36. > :16:39.of cloud. A real pipeline of moisture racing across the atlantic.

:16:40. > :16:45.It is in western areas, where you're most exposed to the pipeline of moss

:16:46. > :16:50.ture that you will see showers. In the east, shelter and dry weather

:16:51. > :16:53.and sunshine. Brightness across Eastern England, north-east Scotland

:16:54. > :16:58.getting away with bright weather and a few showers. Out west, more in the

:16:59. > :17:01.way of cloud and outbreaks of rain, but rain spreading into some areas

:17:02. > :17:04.through this afternoon. Particularly Northern Ireland, I think, turning

:17:05. > :17:07.wet here. Some of that rain into the south-west of Scotland, but up

:17:08. > :17:10.towards the north-east of Scotland, here more in the way of sunshine.

:17:11. > :17:14.The showers will continue, some of them wintry and it will be on the

:17:15. > :17:18.chilly side. Come further south into England and Wales, it is mild. We

:17:19. > :17:22.will see rain into north-west England, a good part of Wales

:17:23. > :17:24.trickling into the Midlands, through north-east England and East Anglia

:17:25. > :17:28.and into the South East, some breaks in the cloud. Some sunny spells.

:17:29. > :17:35.Could lift temperatures to 15 Celsius or 16 Celsius. So a big

:17:36. > :17:39.afternoon in the Six Nations. It looks cloudy at Dublin, Paris and

:17:40. > :17:44.Edinburgh. Can't rule out the odd spot of rain, but the emphasis will

:17:45. > :17:47.be on largely dry weather. If you're out and about this evening and

:17:48. > :17:52.tonight, Northern Ireland and Scotland will see outbreaks of rain.

:17:53. > :17:54.Some of that will be heavy. Further south, damp and drizzly weather

:17:55. > :17:58.towards the south-west. Generally a lot of dry weather here and it will

:17:59. > :18:01.be a mild night for the most part. Tomorrow, this band of rain moving

:18:02. > :18:04.its way through Northern Ireland, Southern Scotland, just easing its

:18:05. > :18:10.way into Northern England and North Wales. Eventually the Midlands,

:18:11. > :18:15.behind the rain band things right of brightening up for Northern Ireland.

:18:16. > :18:19.Sunshine and showers. To the south of the rain band, a cloudy day, but

:18:20. > :18:24.a mild one with temperatures of 15 Celsius in London. In a word,

:18:25. > :18:27.Charlie and Tina, this weekend would be described as mixed.

:18:28. > :18:37.Ben, thank you very much. The breaking news story at 9.18am. A

:18:38. > :18:41.hand has been killed, shot, at Orly Airport by a police officer. We

:18:42. > :18:46.understand the sequence of events happened at 8.30am our time in the

:18:47. > :18:50.UK. The man tried to seize the weapon of a soldier who was part of

:18:51. > :18:56.the force that are guarding Paris Orly Airport. And the man was shot

:18:57. > :18:59.dead. We know there is a major security operation underway there as

:19:00. > :19:05.we speak. You can see the airport has been evacuated. We know that air

:19:06. > :19:09.traffic has been suspended. This is at Paris Orly Airport. We know that

:19:10. > :19:14.passengers are not being allowed to get off the planes that have already

:19:15. > :19:18.landed there. Orly Airport is eight miles south of

:19:19. > :19:22.Paris. It is the capital's second largest airport. Police are warning

:19:23. > :19:25.people to stay away from the security cordon that's in place at

:19:26. > :19:29.the moment. People intending to travel to the airport have been

:19:30. > :19:32.advised to make alternative arrangements. Officials again saying

:19:33. > :19:36.the man approached a group of soldiers, patrolling the airport,

:19:37. > :19:39.made off with the gun into a shop at that point shots were fired and the

:19:40. > :19:45.man was killed. The French Interior Minister is said to be on his way to

:19:46. > :19:50.scene of the attack right now. Of course, Paris and the rest of France

:19:51. > :19:54.in major security phase anyway at the moment. Very high security

:19:55. > :19:57.operation underway at the moment throughout Paris, but that's the

:19:58. > :20:01.very latest we can tell you. A man has been shot dead at Paris Orly

:20:02. > :20:06.Airport. It is causing some confusion at the airport. Those are

:20:07. > :20:11.the live images. The airport has been evacuated and all air traffic

:20:12. > :20:19.suspended. We'll keep you up-to-date on the latest from Paris.

:20:20. > :20:20.The former Chancellor has been dubbed six jobs George

:20:21. > :20:23.following the announcement yesterday that he will be the new Editor

:20:24. > :20:28.He says he'll continue to be the MP for Tatton in Cheshire,

:20:29. > :20:35.But that's not the only thing that'll be taking up his time,

:20:36. > :20:42.Yes, he still has a role as a chairman of the Northern

:20:43. > :20:48.And is a fellow at the American think-tank the McCain Institute

:20:49. > :20:50.as well as a part-time advisor at the investment

:20:51. > :20:54.So how is he going to juggle his politics and the paper?

:20:55. > :20:57.We're joined now by Martin Bell, a former BBC journalist

:20:58. > :21:07.Good morning to you. Good morning. Unless he's Superman or super MP, it

:21:08. > :21:12.is hard to realistically imagine him being able to juggle six jobs. What

:21:13. > :21:15.do you make of it? I think I must have missed a trick during my four

:21:16. > :21:21.years as member of Parliament for To then. I probably worked harder that

:21:22. > :21:27.I have ever done anywhere in my life before and I did nothing but be the

:21:28. > :21:31.MP. Personally, I can't see how he can combine all the jobs and there

:21:32. > :21:34.is a strong case for calling a by-election and putting it to the

:21:35. > :21:40.people of Tatton so they can make their own judgement. You know the

:21:41. > :21:43.Tatton constituency well. Can you give us an insight into what

:21:44. > :21:46.constituents think about the news and whether it is do-able and

:21:47. > :21:52.acceptable? I think a lot of them are having doubts. I know the Tory

:21:53. > :21:57.high command so to speak the association has stuck by him, but

:21:58. > :22:03.Tatton does have a long history of being able to discard MPs even Tory

:22:04. > :22:09.MPs. There was a guy who was let go in 1983 because he didn't support

:22:10. > :22:13.the Falklands War and there was an MP called Neil Hamilton, it is not a

:22:14. > :22:19.run of the mill constituency. This has been done before. Boris

:22:20. > :22:24.Johnson edited The Spectator and he was a columnist for The Telegraph

:22:25. > :22:28.while MP for Henley. You were in journalism and moved into politics,

:22:29. > :22:34.didn't you? What's the difference? Well, I did one job and then the

:22:35. > :22:38.other. I didn't try to do both. Boris is a different category, The

:22:39. > :22:44.Spectator is weekly and the Standard is every day. There have been

:22:45. > :22:48.prominent editors who have also been MPs, Bill Eves was one, but he was

:22:49. > :22:53.in Government first and then he edited The Telegraph. I think that

:22:54. > :22:57.multitasking on this scale has never been heard of before and there is a

:22:58. > :23:02.strong case for putting it to the people. What about journalists point

:23:03. > :23:09.of view? 30 people applied for this role and the one person without any

:23:10. > :23:13.journalism experience got it? Well, he is he has a little bit of

:23:14. > :23:17.journalist, he worked for Peterborough, he wanted to get on

:23:18. > :23:23.the Times, but I mean... He didn't crucially. We should say, he didn't

:23:24. > :23:31.get on. No, I mean he is a clever chap. He is the most ambitious man

:23:32. > :23:35.I've ever met, but I can't see how it's possible to combine all these

:23:36. > :23:37.very demanding jobs. OK, thank you very much, indeed. We have to leave

:23:38. > :23:42.it there. It's time for look

:23:43. > :23:43.at the newspapers. Financial analyst from Deloitte,

:23:44. > :23:45.Margaret Doyle is here. First, what's your reaction

:23:46. > :23:52.to George Osborne's appointment? You have a life in newspaper

:23:53. > :23:56.journalism. On the face of it, George Osborne, former chancellor,

:23:57. > :24:00.current MP, as an editor, if you were a journalist on a publication,

:24:01. > :24:04.the London Evening Standard, what are you thinking? Well, look, I

:24:05. > :24:09.think that there are some things that are very good about this

:24:10. > :24:14.appointment which is that he is a big character. He is a big

:24:15. > :24:17.intellect. He is a man with wide interests, not just in politics, but

:24:18. > :24:22.also he is very interested in America. He is interested in the

:24:23. > :24:27.arts. He is a lover of the theatre. A Conservative MP? He is also an MP.

:24:28. > :24:32.Funnily enough, it may cause, it may well be that there are those in

:24:33. > :24:39.Parliament who have more questions about that than those who are fellow

:24:40. > :24:41.journalists, but certainly he will increase the profile of the

:24:42. > :24:47.newspaper for sure. We have seen from the reaction even on social

:24:48. > :24:55.media yesterday that journalists feel it is undermining their jobs

:24:56. > :24:59.and if you are an MP, you get paid ?76,000, he says I can edit in the

:25:00. > :25:02.morning and deal with Parliamentary issues in the afternoons? There will

:25:03. > :25:05.be plenty of people who will be asking the questions and

:25:06. > :25:11.scrutinising how he does both jobs. He has been defended today in the

:25:12. > :25:16.Time by his friend Matthew Paris who used to be an MP. He says at the

:25:17. > :25:20.defends Osborne, but his main point is, he's sad about this because he

:25:21. > :25:24.says I like Osborne and I want him to remain in the bullring of

:25:25. > :25:28.politics and his concern is by taking up this role that George

:25:29. > :25:33.Osborne is effectively signalling that the bullring of ideas as it

:25:34. > :25:37.were has moved from the Palace of Westminster to elsewhere. In other

:25:38. > :25:41.words that there is more influence to be had outside the Palace of

:25:42. > :25:45.Westminster than within. Interesting, isn't it, about

:25:46. > :25:48.characters, in this case politicians who like the spotlight and some

:25:49. > :25:51.would say George Osborne wanted another place to be and to be seen

:25:52. > :25:56.and to be heard. Here is another one... Tony Blair. Yes, again, this

:25:57. > :26:01.is a man who says he doesn't want to return to frontline politics and

:26:02. > :26:05.doesn't want to form a new political party like the new political

:26:06. > :26:13.movement in France. But what he does say is he wants his institute for

:26:14. > :26:17.global change to fight populism. Yes, there are people who say that

:26:18. > :26:21.the world is shifting. There is a rise of populism and we're worried

:26:22. > :26:27.about it and Tony Blair wants to do something about it. Can we go in on

:26:28. > :26:33.that picture, Margaret? What does that pose say to you? The look in

:26:34. > :26:39.the eye? It is like the thinker, isn't it? I am a serious

:26:40. > :26:44.intellectual... Take me seriously. He has got a globe in the

:26:45. > :26:57.background. Yes. OK. Talking about populism. How I left my London

:26:58. > :27:03.tribe? This is a article called David Goodhart, he was the founding

:27:04. > :27:08.editor of Prospect magazine. And so he was very much a liberal. That's

:27:09. > :27:12.how he started as a young man, but he has moved to the right and in

:27:13. > :27:17.particular, he has opposed immigration. So again, that's a

:27:18. > :27:21.highly contentious subject, immigration and most people who are

:27:22. > :27:25.left leaning and liberal, most people in London, for example, which

:27:26. > :27:29.is a city of very high immigration are in favour of immigration and he

:27:30. > :27:34.says actually, he sees it from the other side. He sees it from the

:27:35. > :27:39.point of view of people who aren't necessarily so well educated, who

:27:40. > :27:42.don't necessarily move to live in a big city and feel threatened by

:27:43. > :27:46.immigration, but what he is saying in the article he feels like he has

:27:47. > :27:49.left his tribe and he talked about being at a party where someone

:27:50. > :27:55.slammed down his drink and marched out when he said that he sympathized

:27:56. > :28:00.with Nigel Farage. One thought, this is from, this is on the Times about

:28:01. > :28:06.house prices, something that affects everyone. It is the affordability

:28:07. > :28:10.issue? Yes, it is saying house prices are unaffordable. This is

:28:11. > :28:17.across England and Wales. So they have risen to 8-and-a-half times

:28:18. > :28:22.average incomes and in some parts of the country, in London, they are

:28:23. > :28:25.particularly unaffordable in Kensington and Chelsea, 38 times the

:28:26. > :28:29.average income, clearly you don't have a lot of people on average

:28:30. > :28:33.income living in Kensington and Chelsea. It is a challenge for

:28:34. > :28:36.London and its status as a global city and a challenge for the whole

:28:37. > :28:40.country. Margaret, thank you very much. Nice to see you.

:28:41. > :28:44.We're on BBC One until 10am this morning when Matt Tebbutt takes over

:28:45. > :28:54.Good morning guys. Our special guest today needs a lot of energy because

:28:55. > :28:58.she is about to do a 24 hour dancea-thon for Comic Relief. It is

:28:59. > :29:02.Sara Cox. That's madness. It is madness. You are here to face your

:29:03. > :29:10.food heaven or food hell. What's heaven? Clams. OK. What about hell?

:29:11. > :29:15.Anything with coffee in it. OK. Clams and coffee? Coffee desserts.

:29:16. > :29:23.I'll let you know what we've got later onment we have got two great

:29:24. > :29:32.chefs. Phil, what's on the menu? Broccoli and duck and bread couples.

:29:33. > :29:36.Very nice. I'm doing halibut. Some roasted tomatoes. You'll like it.

:29:37. > :29:44.You'll like it. That's almost threatening!

:29:45. > :29:49.You will like it! You'll dance for it later! Dance for

:29:50. > :29:59.the clams. We will see you at 10am. Thank you very much.

:30:00. > :30:34.We will be back with a summary of the news at 9.30am. Stay with us.

:30:35. > :30:39.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Tina Daheley.

:30:40. > :30:43.We'll just remind you of a story that's just breaking this morning -

:30:44. > :30:46.A man has been shot dead at one of the main airports in Paris,

:30:47. > :30:55.A police operation is under way at the airport.

:30:56. > :31:10.All flights have been suspended and at the moment are being diverted to

:31:11. > :31:16.Charles de Gaulle. These are live pictures at the moment. Is a major

:31:17. > :31:19.security situation under way. We know that bomb disposal experts were

:31:20. > :31:29.combing the inside of the airport to see if any devices were attached. We

:31:30. > :31:32.also know that no planes landing at Orly airport. They have been

:31:33. > :31:36.diverted. We will bring you up-to-date on how that is impacting

:31:37. > :31:41.on flights elsewhere. We know passengers are being held in the

:31:42. > :31:45.planes while the security operation continues. Just to remind you what

:31:46. > :31:50.has happened. A man has been shot dead after trying to seize the

:31:51. > :31:55.weapon of a soldier. One of the soldiers guarding Paris Orly

:31:56. > :32:00.airport. It happened around an hour ago, and there has been an

:32:01. > :32:04.evacuation at the terminal and an ongoing security operation. We will

:32:05. > :32:07.speak to our correspondent in a few minutes. All flights have been

:32:08. > :32:14.diverted and people are being told to avoid the airport completely.

:32:15. > :32:17.Gordon Brown says Scotland should be handed a raft of new powers

:32:18. > :32:19.after Brexit to prevent the United Kingdom from splitting.

:32:20. > :32:22.The former Prime Minister will use a speech today to put

:32:23. > :32:23.forward his "third option" for Scotland's future.

:32:24. > :32:25.The Scottish Labour leader, Kezia Dugdale, says the issue

:32:26. > :32:28.of federalism is relevant to all parts of the UK.

:32:29. > :32:34.What can we do with those powers coming back from Brussels to create

:32:35. > :32:37.the type of Scotland we want to see? But I should also say, this is not

:32:38. > :32:43.just about Scotland. A federal solution would mean a whole change

:32:44. > :32:46.to the United Kingdom about who has power, how it is exercised and with

:32:47. > :32:51.its its. We have figures like Carwyn Jones and Wales calling for a

:32:52. > :32:56.similar thing, and the London Mayor arguing for more powers in London. I

:32:57. > :32:57.think this is an exciting time to be talking about the whole future of

:32:58. > :33:04.the United Kingdom. The first British soldiers have

:33:05. > :33:06.arrived in Estonia as part of the largest deployment of British

:33:07. > :33:09.troops to Europe since Over the next few weeks a total

:33:10. > :33:13.of 800 British soldiers and hundreds of military vehicles will be sent

:33:23. > :33:25.spokesman discussed an allegation that GCHQ was asked to tap

:33:26. > :33:28.Mr Trump's calls last year. Downing Street says it's been

:33:29. > :33:30.reassured by Washington What would be the advantage to

:33:31. > :33:35.the UK Government of doing something The cost would be immense

:33:36. > :33:38.in comparison to any value. So of course they

:33:39. > :33:47.wouldn't do anything. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:33:48. > :33:50.will meet victims of the attack on the Bataclan concert hall

:33:51. > :33:52.in Paris today. Last night, the royal couple had

:34:48. > :34:58.stories this morning. The countdown is on. Line yes,

:34:59. > :35:03.England are choosing two things. The first team to wind back-to-back

:35:04. > :35:08.grand slams, the first since the 1990s. And this 19 consecutive wins

:35:09. > :35:13.in test rugby, which has never been done before. At the moment they hold

:35:14. > :35:16.it jointly with New Zealand, regarded as one of the greats of all

:36:06. > :36:07.It's the first time they've won the competition since 2012.

:36:24. > :36:27.little bit at the end, but we knew we had to weather the storm, and

:36:28. > :36:31.that depends at the end of the first half was immense for us.
