:00:09. > :00:10.Calls for the government to press ahead with the biggest
:00:11. > :00:13.school funding shake-up in England in decades.
:00:14. > :00:16.On the final day of consultation, the National Governors Association
:00:17. > :00:18.says the new formula is fair but schools face
:00:19. > :00:38.Good morning - it's Wednesday, 22 March.
:00:39. > :00:43.Laptops and tablets in hand luggage will be banned on flights to the UK
:00:44. > :00:46.from six countries - we'll find out what it means
:00:47. > :00:53.Thousands of people gather at a candlelit vigil for the IRA

:00:55. > :00:59.Why free-range cows could provide hope for dairy farmers -
:01:00. > :01:04.and what it could mean for consumers.
:01:05. > :01:09.Rising food and fuel prices have pushed inflation to a 3-year high.
:01:10. > :01:11.So where next for prices at the pump?
:01:12. > :01:17.England face Germany tonight in Dortmund,

:01:22. > :01:40.it is a cold start the day across Scotland and Ireland. Watch out for
:01:41. > :01:46.rice. England and Wales, some snow around. For most, we are looking for
:01:47. > :01:48.rain pushing north and east through the course of the day. More in 15
:01:49. > :01:50.minutes. The government is right to press
:01:51. > :01:56.ahead with plans to reform school funding in England, but there isn't
:01:57. > :01:59.enough money for the changes - that's the message from
:02:00. > :02:01.The National Governors Association. The consultation on a new
:02:02. > :02:03.national funding formula for schools ends today,
:02:04. > :02:06.and the BBC has asked more than 4,000 school governors
:02:07. > :02:23.about their views, Drayton Park primary says it is
:02:24. > :02:30.already operating on very tight financial margins but it predicts
:02:31. > :02:33.its Budget in real terms by 2019 and will be leased ?176,000 smaller. A
:02:34. > :02:39.proposed new national funding formula in England will change the
:02:40. > :02:41.way money is distributed. Ministers argue it will narrow historical
:02:42. > :02:47.inequalities between different areas but schools across the country
:02:48. > :02:52.facing costs. Cuts to funding mean cuts to our service so what we will
:02:53. > :02:56.see as fewer members of staff, lower quality of service and things that
:02:57. > :03:00.we currently do that we will have to decide to stop doing. In a survey to
:03:01. > :03:04.the BBC school governors who responded and had a view on the
:03:05. > :03:08.proposed new formula were broadly in favour of the principle but many
:03:09. > :03:12.also expressed serious concerns about the financial pressures ahead.
:03:13. > :03:15.Some said they plan to cut back on staff and others, that they were
:03:16. > :03:22.looking at ways of raising extra cash including asking parents for
:03:23. > :03:25.voluntary contributions or hiring out facilities. Everybody pretty
:03:26. > :03:30.much agrees that the principle of the formula is right, the elements
:03:31. > :03:34.are right but the problem is there is a enough money in the formula.
:03:35. > :03:38.The government says funding is at record levels and the proposed
:03:39. > :03:43.formula is a fairer way to help all schools. The Institute of Fiscal
:03:44. > :03:48.Studies says the changes would correct clear in equities in funding
:03:49. > :03:50.levels between local authorities but such radical reform would create
:03:51. > :03:52.winners and losers. We'll be discussing this
:03:53. > :03:54.with the National Governors' The government has announced a cabin
:03:55. > :04:00.baggage ban on laptops on direct passenger flights to the UK
:04:01. > :04:03.from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia
:04:04. > :04:06.and Saudi Arabia. The ban, which also applies
:04:07. > :04:09.to tablets and DVD players, follows a similar US move
:04:10. > :04:11.affecting eight countries. Downing Street said it followed
:04:12. > :04:15.talks on air security and was "necessary,
:04:16. > :04:20.effective and proportionate". The Northern Ireland Assembly
:04:21. > :04:22.will reconvene today for a special sitting to allow politicians
:04:23. > :04:26.to reflect on the life of Martin Last night, thousands of people
:04:27. > :04:32.gathered at a candlelit vigil in west Belfast to pay tribute
:04:33. > :04:36.to the former deputy first minister who died yesterday,
:04:37. > :04:38.at the age of 66. Our Ireland correspondent
:04:39. > :04:47.Chris Page has more. He was a paramilitary leader who
:04:48. > :04:52.became a political one and this shows how much Martin McGuinness
:04:53. > :04:56.meant to his supporters. In West Belfast, thousands turned out to
:04:57. > :05:01.remember him. People here regard him mainly as a peacemaker, the man who
:05:02. > :05:06.led the IRA away from violence. Yesterday, his coffin was carried to
:05:07. > :05:10.his home in the bogside area of Londonderry. It's a place which saw
:05:11. > :05:16.some of the worst incidents the troubles. Mr McGuinness ended up
:05:17. > :05:20.sharing power with unionists instalments. In Derry, he became
:05:21. > :05:24.friends with a Protestant Church minister who has paid some of the
:05:25. > :05:30.warmest tributes. I have discovered on my 10-year journey with right
:05:31. > :05:35.that if you focus solely on what the person was in the past, you miss
:05:36. > :05:40.seeing who the person has become. But the memories of the IRA campaign
:05:41. > :05:43.still hurt. One of the organisations hundreds of victims was Patsy
:05:44. > :05:47.Gillespie. He was forced to drive a bomb to an army checkpoint while his
:05:48. > :05:52.family were held hostage. The explosion killed him and five
:05:53. > :05:56.soldiers. I have no forgiveness for what happened to my husband. I will
:05:57. > :06:00.never forgive them. I'm not taken away from the fact that Martin
:06:01. > :06:07.McGuinness turned his life around but I can't forget what his previous
:06:08. > :06:10.life consisted of. It's a time of reflection, but for people who
:06:11. > :06:15.suffered as a result of Republican violence and those who point more to
:06:16. > :06:16.Martin McGuinness's achievements in democratic politics. His funeral
:06:17. > :06:20.will take place tomorrow. Later today Nicola Sturgeon
:06:21. > :06:23.will find out if she has the backing of MSPs to seek the legal authority
:06:24. > :06:26.to stage a second independence The First Minister wants a vote
:06:27. > :06:30.to be held between the autumn of 2018 and the spring of 2019
:06:31. > :06:42.when the Brexit terms She has declared that now is not the
:06:43. > :06:44.time for another vote, indicating she will reject the SNP's preferred
:06:45. > :06:45.timetable. Today marks the first anniversary
:06:46. > :06:47.of the Brussels bombings, which claimed the lives of 32 people
:06:48. > :06:50.and injured hundreds more. Two suicide bombs were
:06:51. > :06:52.detonated inside Zaventem airport and an hour later
:06:53. > :06:55.a third bomb exploded Today, three memorial events
:06:56. > :06:59.will take place around the city In the shattered terminal
:07:00. > :07:09.of Brussels airport, people can't understand
:07:10. > :07:12.what just happened. Two suicide bombs were
:07:13. > :07:17.detonated at check-in. An hour later, another ripped
:07:18. > :07:20.through an underground train. A string of explosions that
:07:21. > :07:24.shook Europe's core. One woman's image was captured
:07:25. > :07:31.in a moment of terror. The air hostess has returned
:07:32. > :07:38.to thank those who saved her. I may not be able to hold my
:07:39. > :07:46.emotions in and it would be a feeling where I remember those
:07:47. > :07:51.who are no longer with us but the memories will
:07:52. > :07:54.always remain with us. Today there will be three separate
:07:55. > :07:59.ceremonies across the city, each of them a chance to remember
:08:00. > :08:02.that 32 people who lost their lives, to support those who were injured
:08:03. > :08:05.and to think about the ways There are a lot of
:08:06. > :08:14.militaries working around. The shockwaves knocked
:08:15. > :08:32.a nation out of step. There is a new normal here now
:08:33. > :08:36.and the city will not forget why. Iraqi forces are entering
:08:37. > :08:38.what could be the final phase of their operation to reclaim Mosul,
:08:39. > :08:41.which has been an Islamic State The government there says
:08:42. > :08:45.the battle for west Mosul, which has been going on for three
:08:46. > :08:48.months, has caused more than 180,000 people
:08:49. > :08:50.to flee their homes. Most have taken refuge in camps
:08:51. > :08:52.and reception centres Plans for a major prison building
:08:53. > :08:56.programme in England and Wales will be unveiled by Justice
:08:57. > :08:58.Secretary Liz Truss today, as the Government steps up its drive
:08:59. > :09:02.to reform the jail system. Sites in Yorkshire, Lancashire,
:09:03. > :09:04.Kent and South Wales will be developed as part
:09:05. > :09:07.of a pledge to create up to 10,000 It comes amid concerns
:09:08. > :09:11.that a number of jails South Korea says the latest missile
:09:12. > :09:23.test launch by North Korea has It's unclear how many
:09:24. > :09:27.were fired or what exactly was being tested but the US says
:09:28. > :09:30.the missile appeared to have Earlier this month, North Korea
:09:31. > :09:34.launched four missiles which flew around 600 miles towards Japan
:09:35. > :09:38.and resulted in protests. The number of women working
:09:39. > :09:40.into their seventies has doubled over the last 4 years,
:09:41. > :09:43.according to new figures. More than 11% of
:09:44. > :09:45.women are still part of the workforce in their early
:09:46. > :09:48.seventies, often because they need Here's our personal finance
:09:49. > :10:02.correspondent, Simon Gompertz. How do you measure your working life
:10:03. > :10:08.and where is the cut-off point when you stop work and retire? And, who
:10:09. > :10:12.runs a Bristol store in Bristol's Saint Nicholas market, is one of a
:10:13. > :10:16.growing band of women in their 70s working on, with little more than
:10:17. > :10:21.the state pension to fall back on. We have no pensions, little
:10:22. > :10:24.pensions. We always invest our money into the business so no, no other
:10:25. > :10:28.security at all. It would certainly be a struggle and life would have to
:10:29. > :10:32.change if we stopped work. The proportion of women who don't stop
:10:33. > :10:37.working until past 70 is grown from one in 24 years ago to more than one
:10:38. > :10:42.in ten last year, it has doubled. There are still more men than women
:10:43. > :10:46.working into their 70s. What stands out is the dramatic increase in the
:10:47. > :10:50.number of women and least part of the reason for that is money.
:10:51. > :10:54.Particularly for women, if they haven't saved enough and in some
:10:55. > :10:57.cases, they need to be working later because they simply can't afford to
:10:58. > :11:01.retire yet. Women have smaller pension pots than men and will
:11:02. > :11:06.continue to do so for some time to come. 150,000 women in their early
:11:07. > :11:10.70s are working. Many enjoy it, many also need cash to pay the Bills.
:11:11. > :11:14.Passengers travelling on a flight to Alaska could have been forgiven
:11:15. > :11:16.for thinking they were extras in a Hollywood blockbuster
:11:17. > :11:25.when they discovered there was a snake on their plane.
:11:26. > :11:28.They got a fright when they discovered a 5-foot-long
:11:29. > :11:31.white snake sleeping beneath one of the seats after it'd wriggled
:11:32. > :11:39.free from a bag on an earlier flight.
:11:40. > :11:45.How could you forget a snake on a plane? Luggage, wallets.
:11:46. > :11:48.Thankfully, it wasn't venomous - a flight attendant dropped it
:11:49. > :11:51.into a plastic bag and it spent the rest of the journey
:11:52. > :12:06.That is going above and beyond. They put it in an overhead storage
:12:07. > :12:11.locker. Snakes and sharks. I would not.... Even if it is in the storage
:12:12. > :12:17.compartment, being sat underneath that... It would give you the
:12:18. > :12:20.creeps? It would be OK if it was in the storage compartment with a
:12:21. > :12:27.flight attendant. Not having any of that. I have seen Indiana Jones
:12:28. > :12:33.enough times. Cat is here with international football week, isn't
:12:34. > :12:36.it? Its international week. That is what Gareth Southgate thinks we
:12:37. > :12:40.should have more of them. Let's focus on the Premier league, more
:12:41. > :12:44.focus on playing to your country and getting away from what he is calling
:12:45. > :12:47.this island mentality that England players live in this Premier League
:12:48. > :12:52.bubble, they watch rolling news channels which focus on them and
:12:53. > :12:56.what they are doing and the Premier league and how important is that
:12:57. > :13:00.when they set off away from England to go and play these internationals,
:13:01. > :13:02.they realise they do not the be all end all.
:13:03. > :13:05.Raheem Sterling is a doubt for England's friendly against world
:13:06. > :13:08.champions Germany this evening, with Phil Jones having already
:13:09. > :13:11.Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, though, will feature.
:13:12. > :13:13.That's despite revealing this week that he's received death threats
:13:14. > :13:16.after Claudio Ranieri was sacked as manager of his club side.
:13:17. > :13:18.Scotland take on Canada this evening, with manager
:13:19. > :13:21.Gordon Strachan expected to rest some key players ahead

:13:27. > :13:29.England head coach Eddie Jones has said that British and Irish Lions
:13:30. > :13:32.coach Warren Gatland should pick four captains for their tour
:13:33. > :13:35.to New Zealand - one from each of the national teams.
:13:36. > :13:39.Los Angeles and Paris have said they only want to host the 2024
:13:40. > :13:43.Olympic and Paralympic Games, not the one in 2028.
:13:44. > :13:45.The International Olympic Committee has suggested it wants both cities
:13:46. > :13:58.I think what that means is that Paris and Los Angeles said, we have
:13:59. > :14:02.put all our eggs into the 2020 for basket. We don't want them to say
:14:03. > :14:11.one of you can have 2024 and the other, 2028. It looks like Paris is
:14:12. > :14:15.the favourite. I wanted Hollywood. I would like to go across the Channel
:14:16. > :14:20.actually, then we can watch it all live with just one hour time
:14:21. > :14:24.difference. That is a good point. But that is part of growing up,
:14:25. > :14:32.watching the Olympics in the middle of the night. Paris did a great job
:14:33. > :14:35.hosting the Euros. And it would be 100 years since they last hosted the
:14:36. > :14:43.Olympics. Perfect symmetry. Serendipity. And hopefully Carole
:14:44. > :14:46.has a picture of the Aurora Borealis. Oh, she has. Good morning,
:14:47. > :15:04.Carol. As if by magic. Good morning. It is beautiful. Taken
:15:05. > :15:12.last night in Shetlands. In Durham, this isn't the kind of scene you are
:15:13. > :15:23.waking up to. Not just in Durham. Overnight south-west England and
:15:24. > :15:28.Wales, rain in the north. Also Snow. We have some rain still around at
:15:29. > :15:36.the moment. Across northern England, some snow. You might find some of
:15:37. > :15:48.the high roofs across the Pennines were affected also. Temperatures
:15:49. > :16:07.down to almost -9 last night. The 8066 and the am a 74 bottom end will
:16:08. > :16:17.be effected. -- A66. The snow levels able to rise with the temperatures.
:16:18. > :16:24.Some sleep in some of the heavier ones. Bright spells in Northern
:16:25. > :16:33.Ireland. A keen and north-easterly wind. Temperatures between seven and
:16:34. > :16:37.ten. Into the evening and overnight, this system coming back south and
:16:38. > :16:43.you can still see we have this arc starting off in the south-east. The
:16:44. > :16:53.whole thing is going to pull like that. Across Scotland, minus eight
:16:54. > :16:58.in some of the sheltered glens. Tomorrow, the weather front coming
:16:59. > :17:05.towards the south-west. The dry out further north with some sunshine. It
:17:06. > :17:11.will be windy particularly along the South Coast and the Channel Islands
:17:12. > :17:17.will see some rain. Temperatures are slowly started to come back compared
:17:18. > :17:23.to but they have him. On Friday, the weather front clearing, winds
:17:24. > :17:29.becoming lighter. This weekend looking much more settled. A nagging
:17:30. > :17:37.easterly breeze from the continent so it will fill cool if you are
:17:38. > :17:39.exposed to that. By night frosty, by night sunny so some change on the
:17:40. > :17:54.horizon. I love that picture. The Weather
:17:55. > :18:04.Watchers have been out in force. Looking at the papers. Pictures from
:18:05. > :18:14.Ireland, Martin McGuinness, we heard of his death yesterday. The IRA
:18:15. > :18:19.commander turned politician. The main story on the front page of The
:18:20. > :18:25.Times, flight ban on laptops. We will be speaking about what it means
:18:26. > :18:33.to us later this morning. It could have a big impact on business
:18:34. > :18:38.travellers. The front page of the Daily Telegraph have basically the
:18:39. > :18:46.same two stories. They go into quite a lot of detail about how police in
:18:47. > :19:01.Northern Ireland suggesting Martin McGuinness took so many secrets to
:19:02. > :19:05.his grave. In the Daily Mail, 1974, 1987 and many pages inside detailing
:19:06. > :19:14.the life, career and legacy of a Martin McGuinness. In the Daily
:19:15. > :19:21.Mirror, their main story, the pill attacks women from cancer for 30
:19:22. > :19:29.years. Inflation yesterday, of course. That basket of goods to
:19:30. > :19:36.measure how much prices are rising. It was food and fuel prices that
:19:37. > :19:46.were the biggest contributors to the rise in inflation. 2.3% from one
:19:47. > :19:52.point 8% in January. It is above the government target of 2%. What it
:19:53. > :20:00.means to all of us, papers pointing out it will be a squeeze on living
:20:01. > :20:06.standards. The fall in the value of the pound after the Brexit vote
:20:07. > :20:14.weighing on the things of imports, coffee, tea, steel. Everything we
:20:15. > :20:18.import from aboard is rising. For the first time in quite a long time,
:20:19. > :20:25.we will feel the squeeze on the money we have in our pockets. Some
:20:26. > :20:30.really good pictures, including a close-up circle of shame on the
:20:31. > :20:46.moment Jones's towo was broken by his teammate. Ruled out for tonight.

:20:52. > :20:57.this is her of the gold-medal position at the London Olympics.
:20:58. > :21:03.This is the American boxer who won bronze and the two of them have
:21:04. > :21:07.found love stop they were on a training before the Olympics and
:21:08. > :21:14.they are now going out together. I would never fired her to... They are
:21:15. > :21:21.in different weights so the good thing is there is no call for them
:21:22. > :21:26.to fight each other. Can I just share this one quickly. It is an
:21:27. > :21:33.image that will stay with you throughout the day. Sometimes we
:21:34. > :21:39.have to try to keep a straight face. That is the cutest thing you will
:21:40. > :21:47.see all day. Babies that look like famous people. This is after the Ed
:21:48. > :21:56.Sheeran. Can I introduce to you the baby Danny DeVito. The expression on
:21:57. > :22:13.his face, it is just so cute. That is pretty impressive as well. Hang
:22:14. > :22:25.on, I have Ken... Hurray. Is that real hair on the Lloris Johnson
:22:26. > :22:29.baby? Nigel Farage as well. LAUGHTER this is great. Let's do that for the
:22:30. > :22:32.next hour. It's 6:2 and you're watching
:22:33. > :22:36.Breakfast from BBC News. So we all know about free
:22:37. > :22:39.range eggs and meat Well, that's the basis of a campaign
:22:40. > :22:44.being run by a small band of dairy farmers fighting
:22:45. > :22:46.to stay in business. Just one leading supermarket has
:22:47. > :22:49.begun stocking free range milk in the UK, and they're hoping
:22:50. > :22:53.others will follow suit. Our Business Correspondent Emma

:22:57. > :22:57.for us this morning. Emma what does free range
:22:58. > :23:11.milk actually mean? Good morning. It is not the finest
:23:12. > :23:17.morning, I have to say but it is all go. We have about 200 cows waiting
:23:18. > :23:21.patiently to be milked. They have come in from the field. This is
:23:22. > :23:28.where the action is in the milk parlour. The milk that these cows
:23:29. > :23:32.are producing they are calling free range. It is getting a bit of
:23:33. > :23:37.recognition about the way they farm here. Dairy farming has become

:23:42. > :23:48.whether the milk they buy comes from cows that have been grazing...
:23:49. > :23:52.Hello... Here the cows are out six months of the year at least. They
:23:53. > :23:56.want to get the guarantee to consumers. It will now be rolling
:23:57. > :24:07.out to 300 stores in May. They call it the Spring turnout.
:24:08. > :24:13.Cows hitting the field after winter indoors. It is always a big moment
:24:14. > :24:17.here. The Cousin relish it as well. But it has been increasingly hard
:24:18. > :24:25.for small dairy farms to make a living. The last year have been
:24:26. > :24:29.awful. We were just like he free range came along and gave us a new
:24:30. > :24:34.outlet but it has been awful. We have had friends and neighbours go
:24:35. > :24:40.out of business. The industry just had no answers, no arms to what is
:24:41. > :24:44.happening. It just ten years, the number of dairy farmers has reduced,
:24:45. > :24:52.only driven out by falling milk prices. The average yield has
:24:53. > :24:58.however gone up by 13% so fewer farms with bigger herds and some are
:24:59. > :25:03.kept in all year round. Not here. They are out for at least six months
:25:04. > :25:12.and Jenny is keen they know about it. You have scheme, semiskimmed,
:25:13. > :25:18.filtered, organic and now this... Free range. It is cheaper than
:25:19. > :25:26.organic but a little bit more than your average milk. Can I interest
:25:27. > :25:34.you in a milk tastes? Do you want to have some milk? That one is nicer. I
:25:35. > :25:41.think that one is nicer. It tastes the same to me. Being students, we
:25:42. > :25:48.would go for the cheaper one but I would probably go for the free
:25:49. > :26:00.range. We would try it but long-term, the not know, it depends
:26:01. > :26:04.on the cost. The milk is selling better than they thought and they
:26:05. > :26:08.are now rolling it out to 300 stores. I really would like to think
:26:09. > :26:16.that if this works it will secure a future if it doesn't, is there any
:26:17. > :26:21.point in dairy farming in the UK? Milking time at the farm. After a
:26:22. > :26:26.few rough years, they are trying to restore the value of their milk and
:26:27. > :26:30.hoping free range will earn them a fairer price.
:26:31. > :26:39.In case you are wondering, each of these cows produces 27 litres of
:26:40. > :26:44.milk. Jenny, a lot of farmers might be thinking, hang on a second, we
:26:45. > :26:50.farm like these as well, is this just a bit of a gimmick? Absolutely
:26:51. > :26:55.not. This is something we have always done the problem is consumers
:26:56. > :27:02.think all milk goes in a pot. There is organic but not free range. There
:27:03. > :27:06.are farmers like us who want to continue doing it like this and
:27:07. > :27:11.continue having that choice. Something interesting to think about
:27:12. > :27:19.is people splash the milk over their cereal at it first. Thank you very
:27:20. > :27:23.much and well done for handling that frisky cow! We will be have more on

:43:09. > :43:14.ambassador and I found out about my city because when you are working,
:43:15. > :43:18.you go home and that is that but I discovered we had the fourth poorest

:43:54. > :44:00.with the itchy socks. Everybody was suddenly on stilts. We had a party
:44:01. > :44:10.and we would bring out a table. We played in the streets. It was just a
:44:11. > :44:14.happy time. People did things. What is your motivation for going back
:44:15. > :44:19.there? Is it because you actually want to be engaged in you want to
:44:20. > :44:25.work and you enjoy it? I wouldn't not work. Every now and again I will
:44:26. > :44:29.have a downer. But there is no way I would give it up, I love it. I love
:44:30. > :44:38.being out there, doing stuff. Liverpool is my city. We've still

:45:03. > :45:09.My son says, why can't you be normal? As in retired? At. No way.
:45:10. > :45:15.What is being normal? I love the excitement of what I do. I will go
:45:16. > :45:20.out and talk to people. A friend of mine says I come alive with people.
:45:21. > :45:25.To me, it is like seeing books. You get a page from here on a page from
:45:26. > :45:30.there and it is exciting and it is challenging and also, it keeps this
:45:31. > :45:34.going. I never thought I was a political animal but I am because I
:45:35. > :45:40.am keen that we do things right for our city and we make it work the way
:45:41. > :45:43.we wanted to. I do think it's a time for the people to get involved but

:46:20. > :46:29.Good morning, it is a chilly start to the day wherever you are and
:46:30. > :46:37.windy on the South Coast. This is a beautiful Weather Watchers picture
:46:38. > :46:42.from Durham sent in this morning. By no means are we all waking up to
:46:43. > :46:48.scenes like this. We have seen of rain and snow. Southwest England and
:46:49. > :46:56.Wales. The snow now across northern England. Just to the south of
:46:57. > :47:01.Northern Ireland. In some heavier bursts across some parts of Wales.
:47:02. > :47:07.Snow again across northern England, Cumbria, the Pennines. Some sleet
:47:08. > :47:12.coming out of the rain in Northern Ireland but in the west it is dry
:47:13. > :47:22.and sunny. Wintry showers into Scotland feeding in from the wind.
:47:23. > :47:30.Snow in northern England. The E 66 is actually close. A sunny one then
:47:31. > :47:39.back into the rain coming in across Dorset. The rain is now pulling a
:47:40. > :47:45.way. Through the day, some sunshine coming through some parts of Wales
:47:46. > :47:50.and the south-west but even so there will be some heavy showers through
:47:51. > :47:57.the Midlands, from northern England, rain slipping south. Any wintry nest
:47:58. > :48:04.likely to be on higher ground. Fewer showers in Northern Ireland but
:48:05. > :48:13.wherever you are it will feel quite nippy. The art of rain continuing to
:48:14. > :48:20.move southwards and westwards. Across Scotland and Northern Ireland
:48:21. > :48:23.and, another chilly night. Even across England and Wales, it is
:48:24. > :48:30.going to be a chilly night. Tomorrow, the rain moving west and
:48:31. > :48:34.south through the course of the day. Breezy across the south. A brighter
:48:35. > :48:41.day across the north with some sun shines. Temperatures starting to
:48:42. > :48:47.pick up. Back into double figures for some of us. However, as we head
:48:48. > :48:51.through the weekend, our front clears the south during Friday,
:48:52. > :48:57.high-pressure takes charge and we will have a cool nagging easterly
:48:58. > :49:06.breeze through southern counties but the weekend whether it will be
:49:07. > :49:12.rather nice. Some frost. By day some sunshine and that looks like it will
:49:13. > :49:22.hang on in two next week as well. Thank you very much. Loads of
:49:23. > :49:28.comments coming in. Paul says disgraceful that people should be

:49:52. > :49:53.Britain's inflation rate to its highest level
:49:54. > :50:01.for more than three years. Inflation tells us how quickly
:50:02. > :50:06.prices are going up. The latest official figures
:50:07. > :50:09.show the rate of inflation the highest it's bee

:50:13. > :50:15.items is slightly more expensive than it was in
:50:16. > :50:17.February last year. And the price of fuel
:50:18. > :50:19.was the biggest reason The price of petrol
:50:20. > :50:24.and diesel rose by 1.2% This time last year the average
:50:25. > :50:33.price across the country of a litre of both petrol and diesel
:50:34. > :50:37.was around ?1 and 4p. Today those figures are up to ?1.19

:50:41. > :51:01.trading firm Portland Fuel. Talk us through the rising oil
:51:02. > :51:10.prices? We have seen a fall in the pound. In pounds and hence four
:51:11. > :51:16.litre it is higher. There has been some good news with the rise in
:51:17. > :51:21.inflation. We are seeing a bit of a dip in fuel prices that are they
:51:22. > :51:28.have been rising on the wholesale market over the last year. The rise
:51:29. > :51:35.of 1.2% from January and February but from last year it is a rise a
:51:36. > :51:40.lot bigger than this time last year. That is the bit where most people
:51:41. > :51:47.will start to feel the pain in their pocket. We are paying more every
:51:48. > :51:55.week so we have less spare money. Top with through the proportion of
:51:56. > :52:03.the wholesale price and then the refining et cetera making up the
:52:04. > :52:13.price. 30 and 35p a litre for whole prize. Then we pay full duty and all
:52:14. > :52:18.the extra little bits, transport, storage, and then you have the VAT
:52:19. > :52:27.which is 20% so roughly all of the costs without VAT are bound pout and
:52:28. > :52:35.then the VAT brings it to ?1 20. What we pay are not affected by the
:52:36. > :52:43.international market but the wholesale price. What happens next?
:52:44. > :52:51.Will get more expensive? There is some good news. We are expecting a
:52:52. > :53:00.drop in the price will filter through. But everybody is looking at
:53:01. > :53:05.the 25th of May to see whether or not they will prolong production
:53:06. > :53:14.cuts which have led to the recent writers. Good to talk to you. Thank
:53:15. > :53:19.you very much. More from that a little later. We will talk about
:53:20. > :53:20.what else has been going up in price as a result of the inflation figure
:53:21. > :53:21.we got yesterday. The British government has announced
:53:22. > :53:25.a cabin baggage ban on laptops It affects passengers
:53:26. > :53:28.on direct flights to the UK It applies to laptops
:53:29. > :53:35.and tablets larger than 16cm long, It does includes smart phones,
:53:36. > :53:43.but most wouldn't exceed Downing Street said the move
:53:44. > :53:48.followed talks on air security and was necessary,
:53:49. > :53:52.effective and proportionate. Let's find out more about
:53:53. > :54:05.the new rules from Simon Calder, Good morning. This is going to mean
:54:06. > :54:11.a really big change for lots of travellers? Initially it will affect
:54:12. > :54:14.5000 travellers per day. Just to make sure everybody has the right
:54:15. > :54:20.end of the stick it does not apply to all flights just from those six
:54:21. > :54:25.countries and only inbound. Tomorrow I am lucky to play out to be stumble
:54:26. > :54:32.and I will be coming back on Saturday so some our eye have to
:54:33. > :54:45.find somewhere to put my laptop and a camera and bring it back in the
:54:46. > :54:52.hold of the aircraft. Turkey looking very busy and that will be affected.
:54:53. > :55:00.Hong Kong via Istanbul going to London, Manchester, Edinburgh -
:55:01. > :55:06.about a thousand people a day. Once the main summer season gets under
:55:07. > :55:14.way, the number affected could go up to 10,000 passengers per day. If you
:55:15. > :55:19.cannot remember what the dimension is - poster is exactly the right to
:55:20. > :55:25.mention and see how that compares with a fairly standard smart phone.
:55:26. > :55:39.You should be right but too small for tablets and the E readers. They
:55:40. > :55:43.have to be in the hold - what is the thinking behind that? Aviation is
:55:44. > :55:49.still the number one target of terrorists. A year to the day since
:55:50. > :55:57.Brussels airport was attacked. A couple of days after that, the
:55:58. > :56:05.security community was shaken. There was a bomb placed in a laptop on a
:56:06. > :56:12.flight to Djibouti. Only the bomber was killed when detonated and the
:56:13. > :56:15.aircraft managed to land safely by concerned that al-Qaeda in the
:56:16. > :56:20.Arabian Eyre Peninsula, particularly based in Yemen, is getting good in
:56:21. > :56:26.making small well concealed explosive devices and the thinking
:56:27. > :56:32.is that if these things are in the cabin they could be detonated. It is
:56:33. > :56:40.an abundance of caution but it makes you wonder, what have all those
:56:41. > :56:46.security officials been doing with all that technology if they cannot
:56:47. > :56:57.tell what is a laptop and what is a possible threat. The size of a
:56:58. > :57:02.postcard. Still to come... When possible, make a U-turn.
:57:03. > :57:07.It's the sound so many of us count on to get us from A to B
:57:08. > :57:09.but scientists say slavishly following our satnavs
:57:10. > :57:13.is causing part of our brains to switch off.
:57:14. > :57:23.Let us know what you do at home. In the meantime, let us know what you
:57:24. > :57:27.think about your sat mat. Do you ignore it, like me? Get the map out.
:57:28. > :00:49.Not so good with the maps. Now though it's back

:02:10. > :02:14.they have the foundations to be as good as Germany but England needs
:02:15. > :02:25.to lose its island mentality. Campaigners say this morning that
:02:26. > :02:31.trees like this, our oldest and most precious trees, should deserve same
:02:32. > :02:37.protection as historic buildings. And is this tree in mid Wales the

:02:54. > :02:55.crisp with a few showers, some of which I wintry.
:02:56. > :03:01.The government is right to press ahead with plans to reform school
:03:02. > :03:04.funding in England, but there isn't enough money for the changes -
:03:05. > :03:07.that's the message from the National Governors Association.
:03:08. > :03:09.The consultation on a new national funding formula
:03:10. > :03:11.for schools ends today, and the BBC has asked more
:03:12. > :03:13.than 4,000 school governors about their views,
:03:14. > :03:25.Drayton Park Primary says it is already operating on very
:03:26. > :03:29.tight financial margins but it predicts its budget in real terms

:03:38. > :03:43.Ministers argue it will narrow historical inequalities
:03:44. > :03:49.between different areas but schools across the country are facing costs.
:03:50. > :03:53.Cuts to funding mean cuts to our service so what we will see
:03:54. > :03:57.is fewer members of staff, lower quality of service and things
:03:58. > :04:00.that we currently do that we will have to decide
:04:01. > :04:03.In a survey to the BBC, school governors who responded
:04:04. > :04:07.and had a view on the proposed new formula were broadly in favour
:04:08. > :04:09.of the principle but many also expressed serious concerns
:04:10. > :04:15.Some said they plan to cut back on staff and others,
:04:16. > :04:18.that they were looking at ways of raising extra cash including
:04:19. > :04:20.asking parents for voluntary contributions or hiring out
:04:21. > :04:27.Everybody pretty much agrees that the principle of the formula
:04:28. > :04:31.is right, the elements are right but the problem is there isn't
:04:32. > :04:38.The government says funding is at record levels and the proposed
:04:39. > :04:41.formula is a fairer way to help all schools.
:04:42. > :04:44.The Institute of Fiscal Studies says the changes would correct clear
:04:45. > :04:48.in equities in funding levels between local authorities but such
:04:49. > :04:55.radical reform would create winners and losers.
:04:56. > :04:59.We'll be discussing this with the National Governors'
:05:00. > :05:12.The government has announced a cabin baggage ban on laptops on direct
:05:13. > :05:14.passenger flights to the UK from Turkey, Lebanon,

:05:17. > :05:19.The ban, which also applies to tablets and DVD players,

:06:04. > :06:06.of the Brussels bombings, which claimed the lives of 32 people
:06:07. > :06:09.and injured hundreds more. Two suicide bombs were
:06:10. > :06:11.detonated inside Zaventem airport and an hour later

:06:37. > :06:46.Behind me, there are some of the commemorations for the families,...
:06:47. > :06:50.Sadly, we have lost our line to Gavin. We will try to get back to
:06:51. > :06:55.Brussels. There will be three service is taking place today. The
:06:56. > :06:59.first two bombs went off at the airport but the third one later at
:07:00. > :07:02.the Metro station. We will try to get Gavin a bit later on. It is
:07:03. > :07:06.exactly one year from those attacks. The Northern Ireland Assembly
:07:07. > :07:09.will reconvene today for a special sitting to allow politicians
:07:10. > :07:12.to reflect on the life of Martin Last night, thousands of people
:07:13. > :07:18.gathered at a candlelit vigil in West Belfast for the former
:07:19. > :07:22.Deputy First Minister who died Our Ireland Correspondent
:07:23. > :07:25.Chris Page has more. He was a paramilitary leader
:07:26. > :07:29.who became a political one and this shows how much Martin McGuinness
:07:30. > :07:32.meant to his supporters. In West Belfast, thousands turned
:07:33. > :07:38.out to remember him. People here regard Martin McGuinness
:07:39. > :07:41.mainly as a peacemaker, the man who led the IRA
:07:42. > :07:43.away from violence. Yesterday, his coffin was carried
:07:44. > :07:46.to his home in the Bogside It's a place which saw some
:07:47. > :07:52.of the worst incidents Mr McGuinness ended up sharing power
:07:53. > :08:00.with Unionists and Stormonts In Derry, he became friends
:08:01. > :08:03.with a Protestant church minister who has paid some of
:08:04. > :08:08.the warmest tributes. I have discovered on my 10-year
:08:09. > :08:11.journey with Martin that if you focus solely
:08:12. > :08:15.on what the person was in the past, you miss seeing
:08:16. > :08:17.who the person has become. But the memories of the IRA
:08:18. > :08:21.campaign still hurt. One of the organisation's hundreds
:08:22. > :08:25.of victims was Patsy Gillespie. He was forced to drive a bomb
:08:26. > :08:28.to an army checkpoint The explosion killed
:08:29. > :08:32.him and five soldiers. I have no forgiveness
:08:33. > :08:35.for what happened to my husband. I'm not taking away from the fact
:08:36. > :08:40.that Martin McGuinness turned his life around but I can't
:08:41. > :08:45.forget what his previous It's a time of reflection,
:08:46. > :08:51.both for people who suffered as a result of Republican violence
:08:52. > :08:54.and those who point more to Martin McGuinness's achievements
:08:55. > :08:56.in democratic politics. His funeral will take

:09:39. > :09:41.months, has caused more than 180,000 people
:09:42. > :09:43.to flee their homes. Most have taken refuge in camps
:09:44. > :09:46.and reception centres Princess Anne has told the BBC
:09:47. > :09:56.that she believes gene technology has important benefits to offer
:09:57. > :09:58.in terms of providing food. The Queen's daughter
:09:59. > :10:01.is a working farmer and patron of nearly 50 countryside

:10:03. > :10:05.with Farming Today, she said that it would not be practical
:10:06. > :10:19.to ignore its potential. If you change one aspect of a plant,
:10:20. > :10:23.then how does it affect the rest of the environment around it? And
:10:24. > :10:27.doesn't have a long-term impact? I do think that the future, Gene
:10:28. > :10:34.technology has real benefits to offer which will maybe have an
:10:35. > :10:35.occasional downside but I suspect not very many.
:10:36. > :10:38.The full interview with Princess Anne will be on Radio 4's
:10:39. > :10:41.The number of women working into their seventies has doubled
:10:42. > :10:44.over the last 4 years, according to new figures.
:10:45. > :10:48.More than 11% of women are still part
:10:49. > :10:51.of the workforce in their early seventies, often because they need

:11:04. > :11:05.saying she could not afford to stop working.
:11:06. > :11:06.We have no pensions, little pensions.
:11:07. > :11:09.We always invest our money into the business so no,
:11:10. > :11:14.It would certainly be a struggle and life would have to change
:11:15. > :11:32.Passengers travelling on a flight to Alaska could have been forgiven
:11:33. > :11:35.for thinking they were extras in the Hollywood blockbuster
:11:36. > :11:39.They got a fright when they discovered a five foot
:11:40. > :11:42.long white snake sleeping beneath one of the seats after it'd wriggled
:11:43. > :11:44.free from a bag on an earlier flight.
:11:45. > :11:47.Thankfully, it wasn't venomous - a flight attendant dropped it
:11:48. > :11:50.into a plastic bag and it spent the rest of the journey
:11:51. > :11:58.That would not be good enough for me. I tell you what, cabin crew have
:11:59. > :12:02.to do some scary things at times. But I think that has got to be in
:12:03. > :12:07.the top two. She is right up there with my hero of the day. I have got
:12:08. > :12:17.real snake issues. Even though I know it is not in a must. I want to
:12:18. > :12:24.know who left a snake on the plane. Sorry that has put the frighteners
:12:25. > :12:27.up you this morning. I'm sure the next flight you take will be fine.
:12:28. > :12:30.Press ahead - that's the message from school governors to ministers
:12:31. > :12:33.on their plans to reform education funding in England.
:12:34. > :12:35.More than 4,000 governors have shared their views
:12:36. > :12:40.with the BBC, with some describing the squeeze on budgets
:12:41. > :12:45.The consultation on the changes closes later today.
:12:46. > :12:47.Right now, hundreds of Education Authorities in England
:12:48. > :12:51.But the government says it's not distributed fairly.
:12:52. > :12:54.So now it wants to introduce one national funding formula
:12:55. > :12:59.They would top this up with more cash for things
:13:00. > :13:01.like special needs, areas of deprivation,
:13:02. > :13:03.the number of children speaking English as a second language.
:13:04. > :13:06.The Government says this is a fairer share of the pie,
:13:07. > :13:09.but critics say the pie isn't anywhere near big enough.
:13:10. > :13:11.One of those critics, Emma Knights from the National
:13:12. > :13:18.Governors Association, is here to discuss this with us.
:13:19. > :13:25.He spent yesterday with groups of school governors. What did they tell
:13:26. > :13:29.you about this? They have been telling us for a couple of years and
:13:30. > :13:33.it's been getting progressively worse so in lots of parts of the
:13:34. > :13:36.country, they are having real trouble balancing their budgets
:13:37. > :13:41.because what has happened is, costs are going up, inflation is going up
:13:42. > :13:46.but the amount that schools are getting for each pupil is not
:13:47. > :13:51.keeping pace with that. There is already really difficult decisions
:13:52. > :13:56.being made. What are those types of decisions? What are the schools
:13:57. > :14:00.doing to try and save money? Schools have already done the simpler
:14:01. > :14:05.things. Checking out their contracts and their suppliers. Some schools
:14:06. > :14:10.have been innovative. They have had solar panels to make real savings.
:14:11. > :14:16.Now schools, some have already begun to do things like increased the
:14:17. > :14:24.class sizes, increase the amount of time that teachers are having to
:14:25. > :14:29.teach. But also in secondary schools, the subject dropping. Not a
:14:30. > :14:35.wide range of subjects. Schools that haven't got to that point are having
:14:36. > :14:39.to think about doing that. Some schools have made some teaching
:14:40. > :14:43.assistants redundant. Some have already started to make teachers
:14:44. > :14:50.redundant but more schools will be needing to that from this current
:14:51. > :14:55.year. Some of the claims year have been made have been responded to.
:14:56. > :14:59.Funding is at a record high? Audi respond to that? That is absolutely
:15:00. > :15:08.right. The total amount spent is more than ever. That has disguised
:15:09. > :15:13.the fact that when you look at what has been paid for each pupil's
:15:14. > :15:18.education, that is not keeping pace with inflation. That is what this
:15:19. > :15:22.proposal has highlighted. It is much more transparent and their error and
:15:23. > :15:27.we can see, actually the money you are left with four each and every
:15:28. > :15:29.child is not going to work. What is the solution? In the easy answer is
:15:30. > :15:41.more money. We are getting that story right
:15:42. > :15:53.across the country. It is to be in more low funded areas. But with
:15:54. > :16:00.increases in pensions, the apprenticeship levy any doubt, they
:16:01. > :16:04.simply cannot balance the budget as a nation, do we think education
:16:05. > :16:13.should be right up there in the list of priorities that we fund? Thank
:16:14. > :16:19.you very much. I am sure it is a debate many people are having.
:16:20. > :16:22.It's 7:16 and you're watching Breakfast from BBC News.
:16:23. > :16:25.The National Governors Association is calling for the government
:16:26. > :16:29.to go ahead with plans for a funding shake-up for schools in England.
:16:30. > :16:33.The UK is bannning passengers from carrying
:16:34. > :16:35.most electronic devices in their cabin baggage
:16:36. > :16:38.on inbound direct flights from six countries in North Africa

:16:59. > :17:09.you are not wrong. We have lying snow in places like Durham.
:17:10. > :17:15.Beautiful pictures coming in. But it is not snowing everywhere. Across
:17:16. > :17:22.England and Wales, a little bit of snow. Across northern England, that
:17:23. > :17:26.is where we are seeing the snow this morning but having said that you can
:17:27. > :17:32.see some wintry and is coming out across Wales. Bear in mind you could
:17:33. > :17:40.come across tricky travelling conditions. In the west of Northern
:17:41. > :17:46.Ireland, it is a cool start. The cool start in Scotland. It fell to
:17:47. > :17:52.almost -9 last night. The risk of ice. You can see we have clear skies
:17:53. > :17:59.as we pushed through East Anglia, the Midlands, SX and Kent. It has
:18:00. > :18:06.pleaded the south-west and we are looking for showers coming in. Some
:18:07. > :18:12.could be heavy. The weeds will fall like to hear but windy across
:18:13. > :18:19.southern coastal counties. For much of Scotland, it will stay dry. Rain
:18:20. > :18:24.across the borders. Extending into some counties and you may see some
:18:25. > :18:31.sleet across the Pennine routes through the day. If you are exposed
:18:32. > :18:39.to the cold and north-easterly, temperatures only seven - ten. We
:18:40. > :18:44.have this week ARCO rain, an area of low pressure sinking south and it
:18:45. > :18:53.will pull down towards the west in the next 24 hours. Another cold
:18:54. > :18:58.night in prospect. Snow across the islands of Scotland. Tomorrow, a

:19:08. > :19:11.extending down towards the south and south-west getting into the Channel
:19:12. > :19:14.Islands and it will be quite breezy but look at the temperatures start
:19:15. > :19:22.to come back and that will be a trend. As we move in through
:19:23. > :19:26.Thursday night and Friday, it will clear away from the south. High
:19:27. > :19:32.pressure takes charge say it will not be as windy. A lovely breeze
:19:33. > :19:43.coming in from the east but this weekend the way the wheel settled
:19:44. > :19:56.down. Sorry, Carole, a cool white? And nagging breeze! We will tell
:19:57. > :19:58.talk to you again soon. Everything is getting more expensive, that is
:19:59. > :20:04.what we do not like the sound. That's right, household
:20:05. > :20:06.budgets are facing the biggest squeeze in more
:20:07. > :20:09.than three years, after rising petrol and food prices pushed
:20:10. > :20:11.up inflation to 2.3% It means that the annual rate
:20:12. > :20:19.of inflation is now the same as the annual growth
:20:20. > :20:21.in average earnings. The worry is that if inflation
:20:22. > :20:24.keeps rising next month, wages will lag behind prices
:20:25. > :20:41.and real incomes will start falling. Wages could fall behind rising
:20:42. > :20:46.prices. The threat is no different if the device is placed in the hold
:20:47. > :20:53.though some business experts is part of a dispute between US airlines and

:21:16. > :21:21.in the site. They are now sold right round the world. It is fascinating.
:21:22. > :21:26.I went to their old factory and it was wonderful to see them roll off
:21:27. > :21:34.the production line. They are not cheap but they are obviously built
:21:35. > :21:41.to last. You get what you pay for, like grandmother was right. Buy it
:21:42. > :21:43.cheap, by twice, that was the other one.
:21:44. > :21:46.So we all know about free range eggs and meat
:21:47. > :21:52.Well, that's the basis of a campaign being run by a small band of
:21:53. > :21:54.dairy farmers fighting to stay in business.
:21:55. > :21:56.Just one leading supermarket has begun stocking free range milk
:21:57. > :21:59.in the UK, and they're hoping others will follow suit.
:22:00. > :22:02.Our Business Correspondent Emma Simpson is at a supplier's farm
:22:03. > :22:11.in Gloucestershire for us this morning.
:22:12. > :22:24.It does not look pleasant! It is not the finest of mornings but it is all
:22:25. > :22:29.go. We have about 200 cows, right in the middle of milking. It is
:22:30. > :22:39.rush-hour. This is the parlour where the cows at being milked. What is
:22:40. > :22:43.free range milk? It is sort of about getting recognition about the way
:22:44. > :22:48.they farm here not dairy farming has become a very intensive indeed and
:22:49. > :22:51.what this is about is about giving a guarantee it to the consumer that
:22:52. > :22:56.these cows have been out grazing for at least six months of the year and
:22:57. > :22:59.so far so good because they are rolling out this milk to 300 stores
:23:00. > :23:01.by May. Cows hitting the field
:23:02. > :23:06.after winter indoors. But it has been increasingly hard
:23:07. > :23:18.for small dairy farms like this one In actual fact, personally,
:23:19. > :23:24.I don't think I'd ever been so low We were just lucky free range came
:23:25. > :23:29.along and gave us a new outlet We have had friends
:23:30. > :23:33.and neighbours go The industry just have no
:23:34. > :23:36.answers, there's no answer It just ten years, the number
:23:37. > :23:40.of dairy farmers has reduced, many driven out by
:23:41. > :23:44.falling milk prices. But farmers are delivering
:23:45. > :23:47.more milk per cow. The average yield has however
:23:48. > :23:54.gone up by 13% so fewer farms with bigger herds and some
:23:55. > :23:57.are kept in all year round. They are out for at least six months
:23:58. > :24:03.and Jenny is keen that shoppers The milk aisle is already croded -
:24:04. > :24:07.you've got skimmed, semiskimmed, whole, filtered,
:24:08. > :24:12.organic and now this... It is cheaper than organic but 15p
:24:13. > :24:17.more than your average litre. That one's nicer.
:24:18. > :24:28.How about you? Being students, we would probably go
:24:29. > :24:37.for the cheaper one but probably, when I've got a bit of money,
:24:38. > :24:43.I'd go for the free range. We would probably try it and see how
:24:44. > :24:46.we get on but long-term, I'm not sure, it depends
:24:47. > :24:49.on the cost of it. I wouldn't mind paying
:24:50. > :24:56.a little bit extra for it. The milk sold better
:24:57. > :24:58.than they thought and they are now So I really would like to think
:24:59. > :25:07.that if this works it will secure our future,
:25:08. > :25:12.if it doesn't, is there any point After a few rough years for this
:25:13. > :25:19.industry, here they are trying to restore the value of their milk
:25:20. > :25:39.and hoping free range will earn them In case you are wondering, each cow
:25:40. > :25:47.producers 27 litres of milk per day. Let's talk to the man who is the
:25:48. > :25:55.driving force with free range belt. The audience might be thinking, hang
:25:56. > :26:05.on, is this just a gimmick? Isn't this what lots of farmers do anyway?
:26:06. > :26:12.A lot of retailers selling milk did not reward farmers for rewarding the
:26:13. > :26:16.product. There are a lot of cows graze in this country but the
:26:17. > :26:22.consumer does not have a way of finding out whether that is the case
:26:23. > :26:29.or not. Could these takeoff? We have a lot of potential. We are trying it
:26:30. > :26:37.out for people to make an informed choice and encourage them to think
:26:38. > :26:42.about the life that the cows have an hopefully they will be encouraged to
:26:43. > :26:50.take this up. Some interest therefore consumers to think about.
:26:51. > :27:01.Interest in the maps. 27 litres. That is a lot of milk. 12 average
:27:02. > :27:05.bottles from one cow. They are working hard!
:27:06. > :27:08.John's in a beautiful part of the world this morning -
:27:09. > :27:12.And John we've all heard about listed buildings but now
:27:13. > :27:30.Look at that! Doesn't it look absolutely beautiful? Carole, look
:27:31. > :27:36.at that for a summer 's day... Only kidding. Still an important tree.
:27:37. > :27:42.Last night it was in the running for being named European tree of the
:27:43. > :27:47.year. This is the bypass built to the side of the town. Badly needed
:27:48. > :27:53.by the local economy but it would have put the tree at risk so the
:27:54. > :27:59.bypass had to be moved. Protecting our oldest tree is extremely
:28:00. > :28:05.important and they want the government to give them the most
:28:06. > :31:25.precious level of protection as our buildings. We will talk more about

:33:48. > :33:52.the moment the first two suicide bombers detonated their devices was
:33:53. > :33:56.where they had one minute 's silence. We watched 250 families of
:33:57. > :34:01.the victims and the survivors come back. I've got to say, they are
:34:02. > :34:05.holding on to each other. Others is said to me, they could not come here
:34:06. > :34:09.today, it was too much. Now that the families have left, they've come to
:34:10. > :34:14.the second part of the commemorations, the Maelbeek tube
:34:15. > :34:18.station, there will be noise instead. They wanted to clap to show
:34:19. > :34:24.defiance. I've got to say, I was here and I spoke to many of those
:34:25. > :34:34.people leaving... Together one year on. Again, apologies for the loss of

:40:57. > :41:05.thousand. Did you really need a sat nav? Did you get lost? We both have
:41:06. > :41:09.different versions of how we use them. I usually ignore mine except
:41:10. > :41:16.when I am desperately lost. How do you react when you hear this? Make a
:41:17. > :41:20.U-turn when possible. I hear that a lot I tend to ignore it. That's
:41:21. > :41:26.because there is a lot of roadworks at the moment. You have to use your

:41:32. > :41:37.fastest route, which motorway. There is always options.
:41:38. > :41:40.Scientists say that using a satnav 'switches off' parts

:43:21. > :43:24.and after that and after that. Its processing lots of information to
:43:25. > :43:30.try and get me to my destination as quickly and safely as possible but
:43:31. > :43:34.this research suggests if I were to activate my sat nav here, this will
:43:35. > :43:41.do all the decision-making for me so that part of my brain just switches
:43:42. > :43:47.off. Except roundabout. This research is built on a previous
:43:48. > :43:52.study which found London's black cab drivers have the most developed
:43:53. > :43:55.hippocampus. They had to memorise thousands of road, roots and
:43:56. > :43:59.landmarks. It is not in your long-term memory, it's in your shirt
:44:00. > :44:03.to memory and the brain very quickly, it becomes a sponge once
:44:04. > :44:07.again and it clicks on to the best road links, which leads to that
:44:08. > :44:13.word. I can't do that because it's one way. And over time, it and
:44:14. > :44:18.grows. It is extremely difficult, not just because you've got to know
:44:19. > :44:24.26,000 roads and thousands and thousands of places of interest but
:44:25. > :44:27.it's remembering how to remember them. The research team wants to
:44:28. > :44:33.build on the study to explore the wider medical implications, whether
:44:34. > :44:39.use of the hippocampus contributes to the onset of Alzheimer's and
:44:40. > :44:42.dementia. But for the first time, there is firm evidence that
:44:43. > :44:46.switching is on switches off an important part of our brain.
:44:47. > :44:52.Did think it's true that some people have a natural better sense of
:44:53. > :44:56.direction? That is true and I think that is right. If you concentrate on
:44:57. > :45:00.your sat nav, you don't pay attention to the road. You don't
:45:01. > :45:07.know how you got there because you've been staring at the sat nav.
:45:08. > :45:11.From Howlett, how old sat nav trying to get me to turn into a large stone
:45:12. > :45:19.buttress in Glasgow. I decided independently that this was not an
:45:20. > :45:25.idea. It finally did a U-turn. I accidentally put my non- walking
:45:26. > :45:30.mode. They only realised when it sent me into an offramp. Kevin says,
:45:31. > :45:37.lack of road signage, but Paul says he only uses the sat nav as a guide.
:45:38. > :45:40.He lives in a small village in the number of large coaches realise they

:45:44. > :45:47.reversing. Think that probably is true, you lose the ability to find
:45:48. > :45:54.your way around. Keep your brain switched on.
:45:55. > :46:05.Good morning. We have had some snow this morning. Lovely Weather
:46:06. > :46:10.Watchers pictures coming in. It is not just in parts of northern
:46:11. > :46:15.England we have had some snow, Wales and south-west England. That is
:46:16. > :46:27.mostly now rain. The snow may affect your route into work. The M seeks
:46:28. > :46:35.and it's 66 for an example. -- M6. This arc of rain so we start off wed
:46:36. > :46:41.in the west and end up wet in the East as we go through the day. Rain
:46:42. > :46:48.drying across northern England. Showers across southern Scotland.
:46:49. > :46:53.North of west Scotland will see some sunshine. Northern Ireland, the rain
:46:54. > :47:00.coming from the east, the west hanging onto sunshine. Wales, after
:47:01. > :47:07.a wet start, a return to some brains but some sunshine and the wind will
:47:08. > :47:13.drop. Southwest England, sunny spells. Some showers could be heavy.
:47:14. > :47:19.Windy over here. The rain extending through Kent, Essex and the
:47:20. > :47:24.Midlands, continuing to push north but it will turn around with more
:47:25. > :47:29.rain into Northern Ireland and tomorrow the whole lot is going to
:47:30. > :47:36.come back south. A cold night in prospect for many of us. There will
:47:37. > :47:42.be the risk of ice and frost around in Scotland. Tomorrow starts off
:47:43. > :47:46.with that arc of rain but you can see what it is doing, coming back
:47:47. > :47:53.towards the south-west. Breezy into the Channel Islands. An improvement
:47:54. > :47:58.behind it. Sunny. Riding across the Midlands, Wales Scotland and
:47:59. > :48:06.Northern Ireland and you can see the impact on the temperatures. As we
:48:07. > :48:11.move through Friday itself, the rain pulling away and high pressure takes
:48:12. > :48:17.charge of the weather for the weekend and into next week as well.
:48:18. > :48:26.By night pool with frost, by date cool with sunshine. In the south of
:48:27. > :48:33.the country, and nagging breeze. Thank you very much indeed.
:48:34. > :48:36.Household budgets are facing the biggest squeeze in more
:48:37. > :48:39.than three years, after rising petrol and food pushed up inflation.
:48:40. > :48:47.High pressure on our income! Very good, very good!
:48:48. > :48:50.The rising cost of living hit 2.3% last month,
:48:51. > :48:52.that's the highest it's been since September 2013.
:48:53. > :48:55.So on average, everyday items cost more than they did last year.
:48:56. > :49:00.So are you starting to feel the difference?
:49:01. > :49:17.Phew, petrol, this seems to be a big difference between supermarkets. I
:49:18. > :49:20.paid 100 18. I saw it for 130 today. It is not worth the just yet but we
:49:21. > :49:23.aren't noticing it turned. The price of fuel was the biggest
:49:24. > :49:27.contributor to the rise in inflation - they increased by 1.2%
:49:28. > :49:30.between January and February. There was one other big factor
:49:31. > :49:44.people mentioned too. I think food. Buying groceries for
:49:45. > :49:54.the house. Soft drinks have definitely gone up. You are talking
:49:55. > :50:05.at least ?1 34 a bottle of Coke or Fanta. Rent. The behalf bed for 520
:50:06. > :50:07.a month two years ago and now I in a studio for 750.
:50:08. > :50:11.So housing costs also a big issue, but it's the price of food and drink
:50:12. > :50:16.They were up 1% and it's the first rise in food prices for nearly 3
:50:17. > :50:22.Vicky Pryceis an economist at the Centre for Economics
:50:23. > :50:28.and Business Research and a former government advisor
:50:29. > :50:43.Good morning. We heard a few of the issues. What is the overall picture?
:50:44. > :50:48.The first thing we heard about was fuel prices. They have doubled in
:50:49. > :50:53.the past year. Inevitably inflation reflects that, not fully but
:50:54. > :50:59.considerably. In addition, we have had food prices because of bad
:51:00. > :51:04.weather conditions, there are shortages in some areas but it is
:51:05. > :51:11.absolutely true supermarkets tried to keep prices down. There is
:51:12. > :51:16.another factor, the fall of the pound since the referendum in June.
:51:17. > :51:24.20% fall which is significant. That has meant costs of imports for
:51:25. > :51:29.things to buy in the shops and also components fall manufacturing
:51:30. > :51:34.production which end up as goods in our shops are going up. They have
:51:35. > :51:41.not gone up completely yet because again we are not able to afford
:51:42. > :51:48.these increases. 20%. The point where we start to notice is when it
:51:49. > :51:53.gets in line with wages. You have to hope they stay aligned because that
:51:54. > :51:58.means we do not feel worse off but that could be a point where prices
:51:59. > :52:04.are rising more quickly? At the moment they are rising at the same
:52:05. > :52:09.rate which is a worry. We have had a couple of years of increase in
:52:10. > :52:15.disposable income. We had deflation briefly at a point. We had
:52:16. > :52:21.disposable income so people were feeling confident and spending quite
:52:22. > :52:30.a lot of money and barring an awful lot. Now with the same, it is flat.
:52:31. > :52:38.Interest rates, that is the big question again. The coast of their
:52:39. > :52:45.mortgage, loan, credit card goes up. When we look at the Bank of England,
:52:46. > :52:51.the target was 2%, and now we are above that target. Whatever the
:52:52. > :52:57.Governor has been doing, it is working, of course, he will be
:52:58. > :53:02.worried when there is uncertainty due to accept and whether consumers
:53:03. > :53:09.will be able to afford to continue spending. The raise in interest rate
:53:10. > :53:15.will kill that. I do not think they will raise rates. We will keep a
:53:16. > :53:18.very close eye on that. Thank you. More for me later.
:53:19. > :53:20.England's ancient trees and woodlands should have the same
:53:21. > :53:23.protection as listed buildings, according to a new campaign
:53:24. > :53:27.It comes after a recent Housing White Paper set out better
:53:28. > :53:30.preservation for veteran trees but campaigners want it
:53:31. > :53:37.Breakfast's John Maguire is in Newtown for us this morning.
:53:38. > :53:50.Good morning. Good morning. In Newtown, Powys in mid Wales, not
:53:51. > :53:56.England because they do want to do the same sort of thing in Wales but
:53:57. > :54:00.the laws are a bit different. You will have noticed, this tree is
:54:01. > :54:06.surrounded by a fence because they are building the Newtown bypass
:54:07. > :54:13.here. They shifted it 12 metres away from this tree, the Brimmon Oak
:54:14. > :54:20.after a campaign from local people. Should the protection afforded to
:54:21. > :54:27.the Brimmon Oak be afforded to all other trees across the UK. No one is
:54:28. > :54:32.sure just how many trees or are in the estate but many of these great
:54:33. > :54:35.old oaks have been here for at least 400 years and they are just as
:54:36. > :54:41.important today as they ever were. It is a special place because we
:54:42. > :54:48.have a wealth of ancient trees who support a bigger range of wild
:54:49. > :54:56.lives. Rare bats species. Other insect 's PCs. Fun guy. Mosses. A
:54:57. > :55:03.good wealth of wildlife species. It has had trees sent 400 years ago.
:55:04. > :55:22.Many of the trees may be younger. There are also individual Vectra and
:55:23. > :55:27.trees -- veteran. The Woodland Trust is encouraging people to speak up in
:55:28. > :55:32.support of these places. A white paper offers more hope for
:55:33. > :55:37.protection than ever before but that trust wants the protection
:55:38. > :55:44.guaranteed. We have got over 400 ancient woods under threat from
:55:45. > :55:48.development in England and yet the planning system is supposed to
:55:49. > :55:53.protect them so it is widely recognised that it is an important
:55:54. > :55:57.habitat and fight only crucial to our history and culture and yet they
:55:58. > :56:02.are being threatened by development all the time so what we want to do
:56:03. > :56:08.is fight for better protection, more clear protection. It illustrates the
:56:09. > :56:12.point that the trust is making. It wants the same level of protection
:56:13. > :56:19.for the natural environment, these ancient trees, as it does for the
:56:20. > :56:23.house itself, the castle that sits at the centre of these spectacular
:56:24. > :56:29.estate. It is called wholly exceptional protection of wood
:56:30. > :56:37.safeguard these trees for future generations. Old trees are part of
:56:38. > :56:42.our heritage, our culture and our natural environment. If adequately
:56:43. > :56:51.protected they could live on for centuries to come. The Brimmon Oak
:56:52. > :56:55.was in the running to be named European tree of the year. The
:56:56. > :57:05.results were announced last night. Kennett, is this the European tree
:57:06. > :57:11.of the year? It is runner-up. A fantastic turnout a vote of 60,203
:57:12. > :57:20.and I would like to thank everybody who voted for the tree. Good stuff.
:57:21. > :57:27.Why is this treat so important? It is a genuine family tree. Five
:57:28. > :57:36.generations. There is a photograph of a wedding from 1901 and initially
:57:37. > :57:43.she was in danger but can you imagine children playing under that
:57:44. > :57:50.tree... And hundreds of years. People might have heard of tree
:57:51. > :57:53.protection order and you could be surprise for thinking these are not
:57:54. > :58:00.protect that? They are great at this tree is not covered. There are big
:58:01. > :58:03.loopholes and crucially they do not provide the extra support that
:58:04. > :58:11.really special trees like this really need. A tree that is 500
:58:12. > :58:19.years old. If we would have accepted what the row planners wanted to do
:58:20. > :58:24.-- planners wanted to do this tree would not be here. But that should
:58:25. > :58:30.have been considered from the start. You can see the workers are setting
:58:31. > :58:36.off to build the bypass. Very popular with local people, the
:58:37. > :58:43.bypass but perhaps also extremely popular in the Brimmon Oak. Wasn't
:58:44. > :58:50.that photograph amazing! Later in the programme, we will talk about
:58:51. > :58:52.her new feel but right now let's grab some news, travel and weather
:58:53. > :58:52.from where Now though it's back
:58:53. > :02:18.to Sally and Dan. Hello, this is Breakfast,
:02:19. > :02:21.with Sally Nugent and Dan Walker. Calls for the Government to press
:02:22. > :02:23.ahead with the biggest school funding shake-up
:02:24. > :02:26.in England in decades. On the final day of consultation,
:02:27. > :02:28.the National Governors Association says the new formula is fair
:02:29. > :02:30.but schools face underlying Good morning.
:02:31. > :02:34.It's Wednesday, 22nd March. Laptops
:02:35. > :02:50.and tablets in hand luggage will be banned on flights to the UK

:03:12. > :03:24.in Dortmund Manager Gareth Southgate says they have the foundations to be
:03:25. > :03:28.as good as Germany, but England needs to lose
:03:29. > :03:40.its "island mentality". This tree in mid-Wales is almost 600
:03:41. > :03:43.years old. So should our oldest and most precious trees enjoy the same
:03:44. > :03:48.protection as our best and most historic buildings?
:03:49. > :03:51.Jenny Seagrove and Ronan Keating will be here to tell us
:03:52. > :03:54.about their new film, a true story about an unsung heroine
:03:55. > :04:03.Good morning. It's a cold start to the day with some of us seeing rain
:04:04. > :04:06.and even snow, but there will be sunshine too in today's forecast,
:04:07. > :04:10.but if you like it warmer, that's coming our way as we head through
:04:11. > :04:11.the weekend and into next week, but I'll have more details in 15
:04:12. > :04:17.minutes. Good morning.
:04:18. > :04:19.First, our main story. The Government is right to press
:04:20. > :04:22.ahead with plans to reform school funding in England,
:04:23. > :04:24.but there isn't enough money for the changes -
:04:25. > :04:26.that's the message from The consultation on a new national
:04:27. > :04:30.funding formula for schools ends today, and the BBC has asked more
:04:31. > :04:32.than 4,000 school governors about their views,
:04:33. > :04:47.as Daniel Boettcher reports. Drayton Park Primary School says
:04:48. > :04:50.it is already operating on very tight financial margins but it
:04:51. > :04:52.predicts its budget in real terms by 2019 will be
:04:53. > :04:55.at least ?176,000 smaller. A proposed new national funding
:04:56. > :04:57.formula in England will change Ministers argue it will narrow
:04:58. > :05:00.historical inequalities between different areas but schools
:05:01. > :05:11.across the country are facing costs. Cuts to funding mean cuts
:05:12. > :05:15.to our service so what we will see is fewer members of staff,
:05:16. > :05:18.lower quality of service and things that we currently do
:05:19. > :05:21.that we will have to decide In a survey to the BBC,
:05:22. > :05:24.school governors who responded and had a view on the proposed
:05:25. > :05:27.new formula were broadly in favour of the principle but many also
:05:28. > :05:30.expressed serious concerns Some said they plan to cut back
:05:31. > :05:33.on staff and others, that they were looking at ways
:05:34. > :05:36.of raising extra cash including asking parents
:05:37. > :05:37.for voluntary contributions Everybody pretty much
:05:38. > :05:43.agrees that the principle of the formula is right,
:05:44. > :05:47.the elements are right but the problem is there isn't
:05:48. > :05:54.enough money in the formula. The Government says funding
:05:55. > :05:56.is at record levels and the proposed formula is a fairer way
:05:57. > :05:59.to help all schools. The Institute for Fiscal Studies
:06:00. > :06:02.says the changes would correct clear in equities in funding levels
:06:03. > :06:03.between local authorities but such radical reform
:06:04. > :06:13.would create winners and losers. An aircraft cabin ban on large
:06:14. > :06:16.electronic devices was prompted by intelligence suggesting a terror
:06:17. > :06:18.threat to US-bound flights, The US and UK have announced

:06:26. > :06:29.flights. The so-called Islamic State group

:07:04. > :07:06.Today marks the first anniversary of the Brussels bombings
:07:07. > :07:08.which claimed the lives of 32 people, and injured hundreds more.
:07:09. > :07:11.Today, three memorial events will take place around the city
:07:12. > :07:14.to remember those who died when two suicide bombs were detonated

:07:31. > :07:32.with one of the survivors of the airport attack.
:07:33. > :07:35.The Northern Ireland Assembly will reconvene today for a special
:07:36. > :07:37.sitting to allow politicians to reflect on the life
:07:38. > :07:40.Last night, thousands of people gathered at a candlelit vigil
:07:41. > :07:43.in West Belfast to pay tribute to the former Deputy
:07:44. > :07:46.First Minister who died yesterday, at the age of 66.
:07:47. > :07:48.Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Page is in his native
:07:49. > :07:58.Chris, we saw significant tributes paid to Martin McGuinness yesterday?
:07:59. > :08:02.Yes, the reflections we heard from around the world I suppose focussed
:08:03. > :08:05.on the two stages if you like of Martin McGuinness' life, global
:08:06. > :08:08.leaders looked and spoke about his role in moving the Irish Republican
:08:09. > :08:12.movement away from violence and down a peaceful path, but some IRA
:08:13. > :08:16.victims said they found the tributes hard to listen to. Today, as you
:08:17. > :08:19.say, Sally, there will be a special meeting of the Northern Ireland
:08:20. > :08:22.Assembly. Stormont has been in crisis, power sharing collapsed in
:08:23. > :08:25.January and there is no devolved and negotiations are still going on, but
:08:26. > :08:28.the parties have agreed to come together today to discuss the life
:08:29. > :08:31.of the man who until just a few weeks ago was the Deputy First
:08:32. > :08:37.Minister of Northern Ireland. Back here in Derry, Martin McGuinness is
:08:38. > :08:42.having a tra traditional Irish wake. His body is at his home and people
:08:43. > :08:46.will come there today and his funeral service will take place
:08:47. > :08:50.tomorrow in a local church tomorrow afternoon.
:08:51. > :08:53.MSPs will today vote on whether to back First Minister
:08:54. > :08:55.Nicola Sturgeon's bid to seek the legal authority to stage
:08:56. > :08:59.Ms Sturgeon wants a vote to be held between the autumn of 2018

:09:02. > :09:05.Catriona Renton joins us live from Holyrood.
:09:06. > :09:16.Good morning, Dan. Well, there was a lively, but very serious debate
:09:17. > :09:18.yesterday and I think we can expect more of the same today. Yesterday,
:09:19. > :09:22.the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, set out her stall. She wants the
:09:23. > :09:26.Scottish Parliament to back her request to the UK Government for a
:09:27. > :09:31.second independence referendum. Now, of course, timing is crucial. She
:09:32. > :09:35.wants it to be between the autumn of next year and spring of 2019. The
:09:36. > :09:39.reason, well that would be before or just as the UK leaves the EU, but of
:09:40. > :09:44.course the Prime Minister has said now is not the time. A sentiment

:12:43. > :12:45.in a moment, but first let's Lewis Hine and his mum
:12:46. > :13:51.Emma join us now. Good morning to you. Good morning.
:13:52. > :13:54.Good morning. 11 million views? Yes. On your video. We have just seen it
:13:55. > :13:59.there. Did you know when you made it, it would be so powerful? I had
:14:00. > :14:04.no idea to be honest. I didn't know it was going to have that much of an
:14:05. > :14:09.impact and be that successful with the video and get that many views
:14:10. > :14:14.and get so many nice comments from people all over the world. I just
:14:15. > :14:19.didn't expect that at all. Emma, it is a really powerful video telling
:14:20. > :14:23.your son's story. As a mum, everyone is looking at it and thinking what
:14:24. > :14:27.an inspirational story, but it must be really hard for you to watch?
:14:28. > :14:33.Yeah, it made me cry. When I saw the video, he told me mum I put a video
:14:34. > :14:36.online, can you share it? It made me cry because I lived it with him and
:14:37. > :14:41.it brought back all the memories, but I'm just so proud of him. Really
:14:42. > :14:46.proud of him. OK, take us back a bit Lewis. How difficult was it for you?
:14:47. > :14:50.In lots of ways you were isolated as a young child, weren't you, because
:14:51. > :14:56.of all the stuff that was going on? Well, it was a big struggle at the
:14:57. > :15:00.time just having to go through the days of just major struggles, not
:15:01. > :15:06.knowing what to do because I didn't have many people to talk to and I
:15:07. > :15:16.was just clueless what to do with myself.
:15:17. > :15:20.When watch you the film back, does it take you back to those times and
:15:21. > :15:24.the difficult situation you found yourself in? It scares me, looking
:15:25. > :15:29.back at that and seeing what I went through. It is a complete shock to
:15:30. > :15:36.me. Could you give us an insight into those things? It is hard for
:15:37. > :15:41.you to talk about it yourself, what was it like for him growing up? Who
:15:42. > :15:50.will talk about your charity, but what would the difficulties? He
:15:51. > :15:53.missed so much school. Going to school is about more than education,
:15:54. > :16:00.it is where you'll learn to develop relationships and you make friends.
:16:01. > :16:03.He was always on his own. Although he did have friendships, he would
:16:04. > :16:08.spend so much time out of school, they thought he had moved, so by the
:16:09. > :16:13.time he went back, they had had parties, and it was that a court for
:16:14. > :16:22.Lewis to join in. He got really depressed and isolated, and he felt
:16:23. > :16:27.alone. What did you do to fix that? I got to the point where I thought
:16:28. > :16:33.there needs to be something that needed to be done. So that was when
:16:34. > :16:41.the idea of Friend Finder came to my head. I thought, that is my idea, I
:16:42. > :16:46.am going to do it now. That was the point where I launched it and I
:16:47. > :16:53.changed it to a different person. I thought, this idea needs to be
:16:54. > :16:58.complete. It is brilliant, hitting international recognition, he has
:16:59. > :17:02.been in many of the papers and magazines, but above all of that,
:17:03. > :17:11.you had an aborted phone call the other day? -- and important phone
:17:12. > :17:15.call? It came as a complete shock. There are 11 million views, and one
:17:16. > :17:22.of the viewers turned out to be someone very well-known, Sir Elton
:17:23. > :17:28.John. The fact that he watched it is one thing, but somebody from his
:17:29. > :17:34.team called and said McCann I speak to Lewis, Elton John would to speak
:17:35. > :17:44.to you? I thought, are you lying to me, or is this serious? I did not
:17:45. > :17:47.know what to do. He said he was just so inspired and proud to see that
:17:48. > :17:50.there was somebody out there trying to make a difference and trying to
:17:51. > :17:57.make it easier for children with challenges in their life. How is
:17:58. > :18:01.life different now for both of you? Friend Finder has changed me in a
:18:02. > :18:08.lot of ways, it has given me more confidence in myself and it has
:18:09. > :18:14.changed me completely as a person. I am not so afraid now to go to
:18:15. > :18:18.school, because of the fact that I did not have many people to talk to.
:18:19. > :18:22.I have a lot of friends now, they are always around me to support me.
:18:23. > :18:30.Your mum is looking at you so proudly, which is lovely. It has
:18:31. > :18:37.changed his life. Completely, and so many other children. It is run by a
:18:38. > :18:43.group of children all with challenges, and they are so amazing.
:18:44. > :18:47.When they are together and working hard, it melts my heart, it is
:18:48. > :18:53.amazing. It is a pleasure to talk to you both. I know it is difficult to
:18:54. > :18:57.come on here, but the fact you have been so open and honest,
:18:58. > :18:58.congratulations, it is making a difference to so many people around
:18:59. > :19:15.the world. This is a brother watcher picture,
:19:16. > :19:21.lovely lambs with their mum, having a snack this morning. It has been
:19:22. > :19:26.stirring. Up to the Highlands, another cracking picture, lovely
:19:27. > :19:32.blue sky, but some snow on the hills. Not all of us have seen snow,
:19:33. > :19:39.we have had clear skies, the temperatures have dropped. The
:19:40. > :19:46.temperatures are starting to come up now. In Edinburgh it will feel cold
:19:47. > :19:50.this morning. We have seen some rain and snow through the night, both of
:19:51. > :19:55.which have been across south-west England and Wales. Most of the snow
:19:56. > :20:05.is now on higher ground in the North of England. As the temperatures
:20:06. > :20:09.rise, so we'll be snow level. We also have this arc of rain pushing
:20:10. > :20:18.eastwards, eradicating the bright start. Quite windy across the
:20:19. > :20:22.English coastal area. For northern England, an improvement in the far
:20:23. > :20:28.north, the rain sinking south. The brightest skies in Scotland will be
:20:29. > :20:33.in the North. For the west of Northern Ireland, you will see the
:20:34. > :20:39.sunshine. More rain coming from the East, especially across Antrim and
:20:40. > :20:42.down. Showers for North and East Wales, but it brightens up nicely in
:20:43. > :20:47.the south-west. For the south-west of England, the rain has cleared
:20:48. > :20:51.away, you are looking at showers. The wind will drop, you will see
:20:52. > :20:58.sunshine. Sunshine across southern counties, then the other band -- the
:20:59. > :21:03.other end of the rain. This evening and overnight, it moves north,
:21:04. > :21:09.winking rain, but tomorrow it will sink South. It will be a cold night,
:21:10. > :21:22.watch out for ice first thing. Tomorrow we start with the rain
:21:23. > :21:27.drifting down towards the south-west and the Channel Islands. It will dry
:21:28. > :21:32.up and brighten up behind it, especially across parts of Norfolk,
:21:33. > :21:39.the Midlands, Wales, northern England and Northern Ireland. As we
:21:40. > :21:44.head into Friday, the rain clears, leading us into a dry weekend, as
:21:45. > :21:46.high-pressure dominate. But there will be a nagging wind across the
:21:47. > :21:54.South. Why is she associating due with
:21:55. > :21:58.nagging? She means me!
:21:59. > :22:03.A subtle dig! It is not!
:22:04. > :22:05.I know the truth, we will ignore him!
:22:06. > :22:08.Ben's here, and you've got the latest on rising inflation,
:22:09. > :22:10.laptop bans and new electric taxis this morning.
:22:11. > :22:13.Our household budgets are facing the biggest squeeze
:22:14. > :22:17.in more than three years, after rising petrol and food prices
:22:18. > :22:26.Official figures show average prices are now rising in line
:22:27. > :22:29.with average pay deals, and if inflation keeps
:22:30. > :22:35.rising next month, wages could fall behind prices,
:22:36. > :22:39.leaving us less money in our pockets.
:22:40. > :22:41.The ban on carrying laptops and tablets on some flights
:22:42. > :22:43.from several Middle Eastern countries has prompted
:22:44. > :22:46.more questions from businesses this morning.
:22:47. > :22:50.Experts say the threat is no different if devices are placed
:22:51. > :22:53.in the hold of the plane or carried in hand luggage.
:22:54. > :22:56.Some business experts suggest the move is part of a long-running

:23:40. > :23:42.They are expensive. But they last quite a long time.
:23:43. > :23:45.You get what you pay for! Today, the city of Brussels
:23:46. > :23:48.will mark one year since three coordinated attacks killed 32 people
:23:49. > :23:52.and injured hundreds of others. Memorials to the victims will be
:23:53. > :23:55.unveiled as dignitaries join survivors and families who lost
:23:56. > :23:58.loved ones in the tragedy. We can speak to Europe
:23:59. > :24:11.reporter Gavin Lee, It was around this time that the
:24:12. > :24:16.incidents were unfolding. Two commemorations taking place today.
:24:17. > :24:24.Some of those iconic images from a year ago, just behind me the first
:24:25. > :24:27.of the two explosions happened. It is open today, so people are flying
:24:28. > :24:31.at the same time that the commiserations are taking place. I
:24:32. > :24:38.saw 250 families and survivors coming back. I came an hour later, I
:24:39. > :24:41.spoke to them as they were fleeing, some of them have come back, but
:24:42. > :24:46.others have said it is too difficult. There was a minute's
:24:47. > :24:51.silence at the time the first bomb went off, and at the tube station
:24:52. > :24:56.roundabout now there is a moment of noise to show defiance to the
:24:57. > :25:02.terrorists, many of the families have asked to clap for a minute
:25:03. > :25:09.instead. You are standing in the same place as last year, you were
:25:10. > :25:18.about to fly to Geneva. What happened last year? This was the
:25:19. > :25:26.place where I was standing at 7:58am, when we heard the first
:25:27. > :25:35.explosion. After four or five seconds, a second explosion in front
:25:36. > :25:43.of me. I knew that it was a terror attack. The reason we have seen so
:25:44. > :25:47.many of these iconic photos, a man lying in a pool of his own blood,
:25:48. > :25:53.the airline hostess with clothing torn off. 25% of her body burned.
:25:54. > :25:59.You took those pictures, you have seen them again today, and you have
:26:00. > :26:06.made friendships with them. It was important for me to meet with them
:26:07. > :26:10.and to take a collective photo after one year. I am happy that they are
:26:11. > :26:16.alive and much better than last year, and we are all friends. What
:26:17. > :26:23.is it like, being back here at the airport? Every day it is difficult
:26:24. > :26:36.for me, because every day I am thinking about this moment. I live
:26:37. > :26:39.here and work here, I am a journalist, I'd use the airport
:26:40. > :26:49.every day, and every time it is very difficult. There is an unveiling of
:26:50. > :26:54.a plaque, the statue was damaged, they are keeping it as it is is a

:38:15. > :38:16.Rodrigo Duterte swept to power in the Philippines after promising
:38:17. > :38:18.to clean up the country by "slaughtering" anyone
:38:19. > :38:22.He hasn't failed to deliver on his word - in the last eight
:38:23. > :38:25.months 7,000 people have been killed, many of them
:38:26. > :38:27.Undercover reporter Livvy Haydock has been investigating
:38:28. > :38:30.the president's bloody war on drugs for a hard-hitting documentary.
:38:31. > :38:33.We'll speak to her in a minute but first let's take a look.
:38:34. > :38:44.And about to meet the person doing the most dangerous job in Manila.
:38:45. > :39:09.You think the authorities know you are a drug pusher?
:39:10. > :39:19.The dealer shows me her merchandise. She sells each of these packets of
:39:20. > :39:20.drugs for just ?4. To me, this looks a small amount. For that, could you
:39:21. > :39:34.be killed? Livvy is with us now. Good morning.
:39:35. > :39:41.Absolutely shocking footage, how bad is that? It's shocking. Ever since
:39:42. > :39:46.the new leader came to power, his basis the campaign was to eradicate
:39:47. > :39:51.drugs completely from the Philippines and if that meant
:39:52. > :39:56.killing everyone involved in drugs he would do so and as a result 7000
:39:57. > :40:00.people have been killed so far. Amazing figures. He promised he
:40:01. > :40:06.would wipe it out in six months, he hasn't, so he says, give me another
:40:07. > :40:12.six months. That will plainly involve increased levels of
:40:13. > :40:15.violence. Like you said, six months and another six months, I wonder
:40:16. > :40:19.what will happen at the end of these six months. You have been speaking
:40:20. > :40:22.to police officers, seen the work they've done and also these
:40:23. > :40:26.vigilantes, because a lot of these people who have been killed have
:40:27. > :40:29.been killed by vigilantes and sometimes you have found out that
:40:30. > :40:35.police officers are paying these vigilantes to do their work. I'm not
:40:36. > :40:38.sure about paying but there is a police watch list. It is a
:40:39. > :40:45.collaboration between police and volunteers. And everybody known to
:40:46. > :40:52.be a pusher is added to this watchlist. So many of the people who
:40:53. > :40:57.have been killed were on that list. A lot of the vigilantes that we
:40:58. > :41:03.spoke to that are in the film, they said, yes, it's the police and give
:41:04. > :41:08.us the names. Your role was undercover, obviously. I wasn't
:41:09. > :41:12.undercover! I thought you were trying to remain anonymous out
:41:13. > :41:16.there? How did you manage the filming because it is a dangerous
:41:17. > :41:22.place and a dangerous subject to cover. We were quite low key in the
:41:23. > :41:26.way that we moved, to protect our interviewees, whoever they were,
:41:27. > :41:31.because there is a huge climate of fear, understandably. Such duty of
:41:32. > :41:36.care issues to everyone that we interviewed, we had to be very
:41:37. > :41:41.careful, mutual ground where we would be recognised by neighbours,
:41:42. > :41:45.that kind of thing. Lets see more of the film. You are speaking to a
:41:46. > :42:18.mother who has managed to quit her drug habit of 25 years.
:42:19. > :42:26.She says it was Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs that finally persuaded
:42:27. > :42:32.her to quit. Incredible that he even managed to get her to speak. How
:42:33. > :42:39.difficult was that? She is very proud, she is a supporter of Livvy,
:42:40. > :42:48.he has an approval rating of almost 80%... Because of his war on drugs?
:42:49. > :42:52.Yeah. Meredith is living proof that his campaign prompted her to
:42:53. > :42:56.finally, after 25 years of the most horrendous addiction where she lost
:42:57. > :43:02.the respect of her children, as she mentioned, she stopped taking drugs.
:43:03. > :43:08.So she is living proof that she supports Rodrigo Duterte and his war
:43:09. > :43:11.on drugs. Programmes you have made in the last few years concentrate on
:43:12. > :43:16.crime, you have been instigated Jewish and is, there must have been
:43:17. > :43:21.times when you thought, I am generally in trouble here! Yeah! I
:43:22. > :43:31.tried to avoid those situations! Sometimes because of the subject
:43:32. > :43:37.matter you find themselves there. When working in that area of expect
:43:38. > :43:41.he is, when you are working with criminals it is often at silly
:43:42. > :43:46.o'clock, in the morning, you have to figure out the risk and whether it
:43:47. > :43:52.is worth it and will your contacts are, and understand completely what
:43:53. > :43:58.you are going into. Can you tell us what is next? And working on a
:43:59. > :44:04.panorama story which should be out in June. It is a fascinating watch.
:44:05. > :44:07.Brutal, yet it gives you real insight, we often talk about the war
:44:08. > :44:10.on drugs but this is a different take on it.
:44:11. > :44:13.Deadliest Place to Deal is available on BBC iPlayer from 10am today.
:44:14. > :44:29.Let's have one last look at the weather. That picture had to have a
:44:30. > :44:32.second showing. It's gorgeous. It shows the snow we have been having
:44:33. > :44:39.in parts of northern England this morning. Overnight, parts of South
:44:40. > :44:43.West England and also Wales have had snow as well. Further north into the
:44:44. > :44:48.Highlands beautiful blue skies, recent snow on the hills behind me,
:44:49. > :44:54.overnight we have seen a lot of rain and some of us have seen snow. We
:44:55. > :44:58.can see where the snow is at the moment, what you increasingly find
:44:59. > :45:04.is that as temperatures rise so do snow levels. Heavy bursts at low
:45:05. > :45:07.levels, a little sleet at times, rain moving out of Wales and
:45:08. > :45:11.south-west England into the Midlands, heading for the East of
:45:12. > :45:16.England, eradicating the bright start some places have had, the cold
:45:17. > :45:19.wind coming in off the North Sea. Although it should brighten slightly
:45:20. > :45:24.in northern England, away from that band of rain it should still feel
:45:25. > :45:28.cold. For Scotland today mostly dry with sunshine, a view wintry
:45:29. > :45:32.flurries here and there, for Northern Ireland mostly dry to start
:45:33. > :45:38.with, rain coming in from the east in the course of the day, still some
:45:39. > :45:42.showers following behind the rain across parts of Wales, Pembrokeshire
:45:43. > :45:47.for example, a pleasant afternoon with some sunshine and after this
:45:48. > :45:49.morning's rain across the south-west already it is brightening although
:45:50. > :45:56.there will be heavy showers to watch out for.
:45:57. > :46:07.cows across Kent, East Anglia, you can see through the overnight period
:46:08. > :46:11.the rain drifts northwards. Curling around into Northern Ireland and
:46:12. > :46:16.then pulling back down towards the south and west. Tonight will be
:46:17. > :46:24.cold, especially where we have lying snow. And there will be some frost.
:46:25. > :46:29.A beautiful crisp blue skies across parts of Scotland and Northern
:46:30. > :46:34.Ireland. Rain moving down to south-west England. As it clears, it
:46:35. > :46:39.will brighten up nicely with sunshine and across Norfolk, the
:46:40. > :46:43.Midlands, East Anglia, Wales, heading to Scotland and Northern
:46:44. > :46:49.Ireland. Temperatures in the sunshine slowly starting to come
:46:50. > :46:56.back. On Friday we lose the rain, allowing high pressure to build in.
:46:57. > :47:02.It is set to stay for a while, which means by night, through the weekend,
:47:03. > :47:08.it will be cold enough for frost, but by day sunshine. If you look at
:47:09. > :47:13.the source of the wind, coming in from the east, it will make it feel
:47:14. > :47:16.colder than temperatures suggest that next week temperatures look
:47:17. > :47:21.like they could be back up into the mid-teens, if not more, for some of
:47:22. > :47:26.us. Thanks.
:47:27. > :47:28.We all know about free range eggs and meat
:47:29. > :47:32.That's the basis of a campaign being run by a small
:47:33. > :47:34.band of dairy farmers fighting to stay in business.
:47:35. > :47:36.Just one leading supermarket has begun stocking free
:47:37. > :47:38.range milk in the UK - and they're hoping
:47:39. > :47:43.Our business correspondent Emma Simpson is at a supplier's
:47:44. > :47:49.farm in Gloucestershire for us this morning.
:47:50. > :47:57.Good morning. Properly getting involved.
:47:58. > :48:01.I am pleased to say it has finally stopped raining. I am at a
:48:02. > :48:07.traditional farm, where they have been milking all morning. You can
:48:08. > :48:11.probably see a lot of the cows back in the field enjoying fresh air.
:48:12. > :48:18.This is where the action has been taking place, the milking parlour.
:48:19. > :48:26.These cows are producing free range milk. What is it? Who better to ask
:48:27. > :48:30.than Neil Derwent, the founder of the free range dairy network. Can
:48:31. > :48:37.you explain what makes this milk free range? In our book it means
:48:38. > :48:41.living the cows freedom to graze at least six months of the year which
:48:42. > :48:47.is what the pasture promise logo represents. Some people will say,
:48:48. > :48:54.isn't that what a lot of dairy farmers do everyday? Is it just a
:48:55. > :48:58.marketing ploy? A lot of cows are still grazed in the UK but some are
:48:59. > :49:08.confined indoors all year round. While we accept a lot are grazed the
:49:09. > :49:12.consumer cannot make that choice in the marketplace. I suppose there is
:49:13. > :49:20.an alternative choice, organic. What should consumers be thinking?
:49:21. > :49:26.Organic milk is 4% of all the milk produced and the other 96% is lumped
:49:27. > :49:31.as conventional white stuff and we want to differentiate this milk.
:49:32. > :49:37.Organic does not have a minimum number of days of grass stipulated.
:49:38. > :49:42.I suppose it is getting recognition for the way farmers go about
:49:43. > :49:47.producing milk. Asda supermarket are going to roll it out to 300 stores
:49:48. > :49:54.in May. Do you think consumers will buy it? 'S job for ours is a network
:49:55. > :49:59.is to promote an understanding of the true value of cows in fields.
:50:00. > :50:05.When people get an understanding of what they buy has an impact on the
:50:06. > :50:09.cows, the farmers and rural communities, they will understand
:50:10. > :50:16.the true value. How much is riding on this for small farmers? A lot.
:50:17. > :50:22.Getting an extra penny on a litre, a farmer can earn extra ?10,000 a year
:50:23. > :50:26.and it is needed to add value urgently. Let's see if consumers
:50:27. > :50:31.want to buy this. An interesting talking point. It
:50:32. > :50:37.certainly is. The amount of milk produced by one cow, 12 four pipes
:50:38. > :50:40.on the desk in. If you've been watching SS-GB,
:50:41. > :50:43.you'll recognise our next guest. Sam Riley plays Detective Douglas
:50:44. > :50:46.Archer in the big-budget drama based on the Len Deighton novel that
:50:47. > :50:58.imagines a Nazi-occupied Britain. I am not sure I would recognise you
:50:59. > :51:03.without your hats. I love that hat. It hides a lot of sins. It is part
:51:04. > :51:05.of the character. That is what I told them!
:51:06. > :51:08.Following the series' end on Sunday, Sam's looking forward
:51:09. > :51:13.to his new film, Free Fire, a '70s-set action-comedy about
:51:14. > :51:30.This is one location. That's right. You might be able to show one clip
:51:31. > :51:38.where there is no swearing or gunfire. But the rest of it is two
:51:39. > :51:43.gangs buying guns from one another. My character is the troublemaker.
:51:44. > :51:47.All gone deals go wrong in movies otherwise it would be a short film.
:51:48. > :51:53.It sounds very different from your role in SS-GB. I am much more is
:51:54. > :51:59.like this guy. Less intelligent and a troublemaker. We could see a clip.
:52:00. > :52:03.Hopefully this is the bit without swearing.
:52:04. > :52:15.Introduce yourself to the lady. Steve. Just e-mail. Justin? Missing
:52:16. > :52:27.an angel tonight. Beautiful. Great. Where did you get the vehicle? The
:52:28. > :52:33.vehicle, that is cool. Justin, need some of that brown stuff. You mean
:52:34. > :52:44.powder? Yes. I feel conspicuous with a black eye. I will do it for you.
:52:45. > :52:49.Stop it there! Does it go hideously wrong? It does when we are inside
:52:50. > :52:56.but it is funny because it is the magic of movies. Boston in the late
:52:57. > :53:03.70s, but we shot it in Brighton in a warehouse. They come down from Brie
:53:04. > :53:09.Larson. What did she think Brighton? You cannot not love Brighton. We had
:53:10. > :53:14.a great time. It is nice to work beside the seaside and she mucked in
:53:15. > :53:18.with everybody. We spent six weeks crawling around in the filth, you
:53:19. > :53:25.needed a shower before you came to work just to get mucky. Is it a
:53:26. > :53:33.challenging environment for it to be shot in one location? It usually is,
:53:34. > :53:37.but it is an ensemble piece, a great cast, and we kept ourselves
:53:38. > :53:41.entertained and there is an interesting table tennis match going
:53:42. > :53:47.on upstairs. Where did it come in the order of SS-GB and this? It was
:53:48. > :53:54.just before SS-GB. It takes me a long time to grow a moustache! I
:53:55. > :53:59.need seven months' notice! I want to talk about your voice. A lot of
:54:00. > :54:15.people pick up on it. The gravel tones. I came out like that. I was a
:54:16. > :54:19.single before I was a luvvie. There were six in the band and I always
:54:20. > :54:26.seem to have the smallest amplifier and to make myself heard, I wrecked
:54:27. > :54:32.my voice. As a child was it unusual? No. I don't remember it, it was not
:54:33. > :54:36.a moment where you scare your parents when it breaks overnight, it
:54:37. > :54:45.was gradual deterioration. It is a good thing, surely? I said when you
:54:46. > :54:52.came on you should be doing voice-overs. I am available. Talking
:54:53. > :55:03.work, how do you select roles, how do you pick and choose? I am not
:55:04. > :55:08.exactly in the position on the actors' food chain where I can pick
:55:09. > :55:13.exactly what I want to do but usually, it has to keep me
:55:14. > :55:19.interested while I am reading it. Maybe something I would like to go
:55:20. > :55:24.and watch. You say you are not... How does it work? Other people have
:55:25. > :55:32.to be unavailable. Is that true? It is partly true with everybody in
:55:33. > :55:36.this business, really. Not that I am comparing myself with Al Pacino, but
:55:37. > :55:43.he was on the last on the list for the Godfather. Do you get a
:55:44. > :55:47.selection of scripts and you read half a dozen and just want to do
:55:48. > :55:55.maybe four and go for the role and beat the director? Four is pushing
:55:56. > :56:01.it! -- meet the director. It is difficult. I am picky. I signed a
:56:02. > :56:05.major record deal as a young lad and it was a big mistake so I thought
:56:06. > :56:09.now I have a second chance of doing something I love I will try to do it
:56:10. > :56:18.more on my own terms. Why was that a mistake? It was the classic thing,
:56:19. > :56:22.we went for the money. I love your honesty. We went for the body and
:56:23. > :56:34.they tried to control everything. We were six lads not up for that. We
:56:35. > :56:41.got one of the worst reviews NME had ever written. A bit like Free Fire.
:56:42. > :56:50.A lot of it is unrepeatable. We got one out of ten. The headline was, it
:56:51. > :56:55.is dim up north. That was the nicest thing he said and after that we got
:56:56. > :57:00.dropped quickly. We try to tell the label we were the worst band in the
:57:01. > :57:05.country. But they did not see it that way. Luckily for me now. I want
:57:06. > :57:14.to talk to you about table tennis, how good are you? I was not one of
:57:15. > :57:19.the best. The gorgeous guy with the beard, he is good at everything. It
:57:20. > :57:29.is nauseating. He looks like Roger Federer when he plays table tennis.
:57:30. > :57:35.Cillian is very good. A lot of free time? Not as much as it often is
:57:36. > :57:41.because we were all playing for one another all the time. Often the big
:57:42. > :57:46.stars sit in the trailer while you talk to a tennis ball. Or a
:57:47. > :57:52.ping-pong ball. We are all good sports. I feel there is a lot we
:57:53. > :57:53.want to talk to you about because you have opinion on most things but
:57:54. > :57:56.we have to leave it there. England's ancient trees
:57:57. > :58:02.and woodlands should have the same protection as listed buildings,
:58:03. > :58:04.according to a new campaign It comes after a recent housing
:58:05. > :58:09.White Paper set out better preservation for veteran trees
:58:10. > :58:11.but campaigners want Breakfast's John Maguire
:58:12. > :58:27.is in Newtown for us this morning. With a picture postcard! A picture
:58:28. > :58:31.postcard view. This is the oak in full leave during the summer, this
:58:32. > :58:38.is how it looks today, a magnificent old tree, 600 years, we are in
:58:39. > :58:43.Wales, we are talking about legislation in England but this goes
:58:44. > :58:47.across the UK, protecting some of our oldest trees. This happens
:58:48. > :58:57.around here is because they are building a bypass. It's popular with
:58:58. > :59:05.many of the local people, they have had to shift it away from the tree
:59:06. > :59:08.to afford the tree the protection they feel it deserves, the
:59:09. > :59:10.protection some people feel should be afforded to all trees of this
:59:11. > :59:13.vintage. No one's really sure just how many
:59:14. > :59:16.trees there are on the 13,000 acre Grimsthorpe estate in Lincolnshire,
:59:17. > :59:19.but many of these greaet old oaks have been here
:59:20. > :59:21.for at least 400 years. And they are just as important
:59:22. > :59:24.today as they ever were. It is a special place,
:59:25. > :59:30.because we have a wealth of ancient trees here which support
:59:31. > :59:33.a good range of wildlife. Rare beetles, in particular,
:59:34. > :59:35.but also rare bat species. Also other species
:59:36. > :59:41.associated with these trees, fungi, lichens, mosses -
:59:42. > :59:43.a good wealth of different species. An ancient woodland is an area
:59:44. > :59:46.that has had trees on it since they were first
:59:47. > :59:48.mapped, 400 years ago. Although many of the
:59:49. > :59:51.trees may be younger. There are also individual
:59:52. > :59:56.ancient or veteran trees. Here they have been surveyed,
:59:57. > :59:59.to try to give a better idea But ancient woodlands only cover
:00:00. > :00:05.around 2% of our land and half of them have been lost
:00:06. > :00:09.since the 1930s. Now, the Woodland Trust
:00:10. > :00:12.is encouraging people to speak up The recent housing White Paper
:00:13. > :00:24.published by the government offers more hope for protection than ever
:00:25. > :00:27.before, but the trust wants that On our books at the Woodland Trust
:00:28. > :00:31.we have over 400 ancient woods under threat from development in England
:00:32. > :00:34.at the moment and yet - and yet - the planning system
:00:35. > :00:41.is supposed to protect them. It is widely recognised that ancient
:00:42. > :00:47.woodland is an important habitat, that it's vitally important
:00:48. > :00:49.to our history and culture and yet they are being threatened
:00:50. > :00:52.by development all the time. We want to fight for better,
:00:53. > :00:54.more clear protection. Grimsthorpe illustrates
:00:55. > :00:55.the point the Woodland Trust It wants the same level
:00:56. > :01:01.of protection for these ancient trees and woodlands as it does
:01:02. > :01:05.for the house itself, the castle that sits at the centre
:01:06. > :01:15.of this spectacular estate. It's called wholly
:01:16. > :01:17.exceptional protection, and would safeguard these
:01:18. > :01:19.trees for future generations. From furniture to royal hiding
:01:20. > :01:22.places, to lending their names to hundreds of pubs,
:01:23. > :01:24.old oak trees are part of our heritage, our culture
:01:25. > :01:27.and our natural environment. If adequately protected, they could
:01:28. > :01:44.live on for centuries to come. Back in Powys, in mid Wales when you
:01:45. > :01:51.look closely at the Brimmon Oak you feel you can see almost every one of
:01:52. > :01:58.those years, it's an extraordinary sight, and we know that there are
:01:59. > :02:01.many such trees across the UK. This came runner-up in the European tree
:02:02. > :02:05.of the year last night! The results were announced in Brussels, pretty
:02:06. > :02:11.impressive. Fantastic when you consider how many trees that are in
:02:12. > :02:16.the world, and standing next to the one that came second, I would like
:02:17. > :02:20.to thank everyone who voted for this tree. Fantastic support. It's a
:02:21. > :02:24.unique family tree really because this is a photograph of a wedding
:02:25. > :02:31.from 1901 where they all pictured around the tree, and other
:02:32. > :02:35.generations, children have played beneath the tree, it's fantastic.
:02:36. > :02:45.Another thing unique about this tree is that the song has been written
:02:46. > :02:48.about it, called The Brimmon Tree. The promoter has done a great job in
:02:49. > :02:56.promoting the tree and without him we wouldn't be talking about it.
:02:57. > :03:00.Let's speak to Rory. We talked earlier about tree protection
:03:01. > :03:03.orders. One would think there was enough protection and therefore
:03:04. > :03:09.these trees? What with people agreeing that they so important.
:03:10. > :03:14.What happened with this tree shows it is important because this tree is
:03:15. > :03:22.only here because Mervyn and Rob set up a campaign, petitioning the
:03:23. > :03:25.assembly, setting up a campaign. What we are saying is that trees
:03:26. > :03:29.that hundreds of years old should be protected. We are asking people to
:03:30. > :03:34.go to our website to support this campaign because of a tree like this
:03:35. > :03:40.is lost it is a real problem. Thank you very much, both. The bypass in
:03:41. > :03:43.Newtown is due to open next year, hopefully the future of the Brimmon
:03:44. > :03:45.Oak is guaranteed and it could be around for another 400 years or so.
:03:46. > :03:58.Back to the studio. Brilliant. A gorgeous tree in full
:03:59. > :04:04.bloom. You are a park ranger in Powys, how have you missed out on
:04:05. > :04:09.the opportunity to call yourself the Powys Rangers? It is an open goal.
:04:10. > :04:13.Lets rename them this morning. We'll be talking to Jenny Seagrove and
:04:14. > :04:15.Ronan Keating in a moment, first, a last look at the headlines where you
:04:16. > :05:54.are. last look at the headlines where you
:05:55. > :05:56.Celsius. I will be back at 1:30pm with the lunchtime bulletin.
:05:57. > :06:01.Now though it's back to Sally and Dan.
:06:02. > :06:03.Louisa Gould was a widow living in Nazi-occupied Jersey
:06:04. > :06:05.during World War II when she offered shelter
:06:06. > :06:07.to an escaped Russian pilot after witnessing the cruelty
:06:08. > :06:10.the Germans inflicted on Soviet prisoners of war on the island.
:06:11. > :06:13.Hiding a 21-year-old escapee in plain sight was no easy task
:06:14. > :06:15.and Louisa's decision would have consequences for not only
:06:16. > :06:21.Their story has now inspired a film starring
:06:22. > :06:39.We'll speak to you in a moment but first, let's take
:06:40. > :06:59.Never seen you before. Are you a friend of Harold's? Cat got your
:07:00. > :07:10.tongue? He's got nothing to say to you. I think the price just went up.
:07:11. > :07:16.This is what we agreed. You haven't been honest with me. You are a
:07:17. > :07:21.teacher, and you, Harold? You know I am. My daughter has exams coming up,
:07:22. > :07:27.she is a bright kid but she has been ill a lot. She needs a little help.
:07:28. > :07:28.Aussie what I can do. You will do better than that. You will make sure
:07:29. > :07:38.she does all right. I don't like him already. You play
:07:39. > :07:42.Harold and you are the brother of Louisa, the main character. Tell us
:07:43. > :07:48.more about the film. It's a history lesson as well. To my shame, I knew
:07:49. > :07:52.nothing about this. I think there has been quite a lot of reticence to
:07:53. > :07:56.talk about what happened during the war on the islands because there was
:07:57. > :08:00.some collaboration with the Nazis and people felt they did not really
:08:01. > :08:05.look after each other because some people were grassing up others to
:08:06. > :08:09.survive. I don't think it is a us to judge what people did because we
:08:10. > :08:15.were not there and we don't know how hard it was. It is the story of an
:08:16. > :08:27.extraordinary woman, doing ordinary things, it is a lesson in humanity.
:08:28. > :08:32.And you, Ronan, an ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances.
:08:33. > :08:39.Absolutely, although it is about what happened, my character was the
:08:40. > :08:43.only surviving Britain from a concentration camp, Belsen. I hope
:08:44. > :08:47.that we did the characters justice. The family seem to be thrilled with
:08:48. > :08:54.it which is wonderful because it meant so much to us that we told the
:08:55. > :08:58.story really truthfully. And she was extraordinary, they were
:08:59. > :09:03.extraordinary. It is written by the great niece of Louisa. It is very
:09:04. > :09:11.close to home. And she came on the set with her daughter. Louisa took
:09:12. > :09:15.in a Russian person because her own son, she had two sons, one of them
:09:16. > :09:20.was killed and it meant so much to her that if, her son was in need,
:09:21. > :09:26.another mother would do it for her son. She did it out of humanity. She
:09:27. > :09:31.was quite careful to start with, and as the time went by and she kept him
:09:32. > :09:36.a bit too long, she was the centre of a little rural community and she
:09:37. > :09:41.said, we're all friends, we are all related, why would anyone denounce
:09:42. > :09:48.us to the Nazis? And somebody did. Is this your second film role? Yes,
:09:49. > :09:54.I made a film in Australia four years ago called Goddess. Now you
:09:55. > :09:58.are playing a real person. Quite a task for me to take that on but did
:09:59. > :10:02.a lot of research and build the character around all the research
:10:03. > :10:09.that was there. Thankfully there was so much on Harold, he went on after
:10:10. > :10:17.coming out of Belsen, he went to the war crimes and testified. There is
:10:18. > :10:22.audio of him speaking. Because of him we know that there is a scene in
:10:23. > :10:26.the film where the two of them meet at a railway station in France in
:10:27. > :10:32.1944 when Louisa's train draws up, one of those terrible trains filled
:10:33. > :10:36.with people, the doors open, and you think, that's drama, it couldn't
:10:37. > :10:41.have happened but Harold was on one side of the platform, Louisa was on
:10:42. > :10:44.the other, the doors opened and they talked and then the train went to
:10:45. > :10:58.ravens broke and his went to Bergen-Belsen. It happened. -- her
:10:59. > :11:06.train went to Ravensbruck. People will be listening for your accent!
:11:07. > :11:12.Harold sounds slightly different to the rest of the family. He went to
:11:13. > :11:18.Oxford. It affected his axe and slightly, there are slight touches,
:11:19. > :11:28.but I guess I've tried... My attention to detail is important --
:11:29. > :11:33.it affected his accent. She worked hard to send him to Oxford, she
:11:34. > :11:36.would have been proud of his portrayal. Such an incredible
:11:37. > :11:44.person, did you feel a big weight of responsibility? Absolutely huge. And
:11:45. > :11:50.being invested in the storyline. I love her. I do my research, and talk
:11:51. > :11:54.to people who went to Jersey, who knew her, I talked to the family,
:11:55. > :11:59.and I still could not feel her and I do like to inhabit my characters.
:12:00. > :12:04.Two weeks before we started shooting I was walking my dog at 8:30am and
:12:05. > :12:08.suddenly felt this bubble, it was like, there you are! And it was joy
:12:09. > :12:13.and laughter. I thought, that is not what I expected. When her
:12:14. > :12:18.granddaughter came on the set she confirmed that Louisa was always
:12:19. > :12:24.laughing, the centre of the community, giving and trusting and
:12:25. > :12:29.innocent, so I thought, yes, hello. Are you learning some tricks, Ronan?
:12:30. > :12:35.Big-time. I learned so much from the first day, I was really spoiled. He
:12:36. > :12:40.doesn't need to learn! Get out of it! I was privileged, it was a great
:12:41. > :12:44.crew, brilliant director, I am excited for people to set the film,
:12:45. > :12:48.it is out on Friday, and fingers crossed everyone will enjoy it as
:12:49. > :13:01.much as we enjoyed making it. I can't believe it is 25 years since
:13:02. > :13:07.Boyzone. We are still talking! We will try to put something together
:13:08. > :13:09.the anniversary. Thank you for joining us. It looks fantastic.
:13:10. > :13:12.Another Mother's Son is released this Friday.
:13:13. > :13:16.I'll be back with Charlie tomorrow morning from six,
:13:17. > :13:18.when we'll be joined by The Voice star Gavin Rossdale.
:13:19. > :13:26.That will make it easier! Thank you for watching. Have a great day.
