:02:03. > :02:12.Hugh Pym, has more. The NHS is under increasing

:02:13. > :02:16.financial pressure. Service leaders are set to closely scrutinise what

:02:17. > :02:20.is available on prescription. Local health commissioners in England have

:02:21. > :02:23.drawn up a list of items that they say are unnecessary and

:02:24. > :02:28.inappropriate for prescription on the NHS. The medicines and

:02:29. > :02:32.treatments included omega three and fish oils, some muscle rubs and

:03:52. > :03:54.Let's talk to our Northern Ireland Correspondent,

:03:55. > :04:01.Is there likely to be any change today? Good morning. Yes, while the

:04:02. > :04:05.Northern Ireland Secretary Ski-Doo set out the ideas for what he calls

:04:06. > :04:08.the next apps to Parliament. The political crisis in Northern

:04:13. > :04:18.Yesterday was the deadline for the restoration of the devolved

:04:19. > :04:24.goverment. But it passed after talks between the Democratic Unionist and

:04:25. > :04:30.Sinn Fein class. The good news for the Irish government is that the

:04:31. > :04:34.parties are willing to talk. They say they want to keep negotiating.

:04:35. > :04:39.Mr Brogan show could have called another snap election yesterday. The

:04:40. > :04:43.last one was just a live this month, but he said there was no appetite

:04:44. > :04:49.amongst the parties for another poll. -- Brokenshire. He expanded

:04:50. > :04:54.the guidelines very few short weeks. If you talk to people around

:04:55. > :04:58.Stormont, they think what it means is basically a month from now, at

:04:59. > :05:01.the end of April, they will come back recess and the government will

:05:02. > :05:06.have to consider if there is no deal, bringing in a rule from

:05:07. > :05:10.Westminster. And suspending demolition. Meanwhile, the

:05:11. > :05:14.consequences for people in Northern Ireland are growing as a result of

:05:15. > :05:23.the new government. -- of having no government. Emergency control of the

:06:02. > :06:03.threat, last week's attack in Westminster had highlighted

:06:04. > :06:10.One in six local roads in England and Wales are at risk of becoming

:06:11. > :06:12.damaged beyond repair because of a growing

:06:13. > :06:21.People have already been in touch about this.

:06:22. > :06:25.A survey of local councils says some roads have less than five years

:06:30. > :06:31.Crumbling away faster than they can repair them.

:06:32. > :06:37.Our local council-run roads carry a third of the traffic.

:06:38. > :06:39.But this survey says decades of underfunding,

:06:40. > :06:42.coupled with wetter winters and more cars have left them

:06:43. > :06:46.in a sorry state all over England and Wales.

:06:47. > :06:50.It found one in six roads is so bad it may need to be replaced

:06:51. > :06:54.Councils are already filling a pothole every 19 seconds.

:06:55. > :06:59.And it would take ?12 billion to bring them all up to scratch.

:07:00. > :07:02.The government says it's chipped in an extra ?1 billion recently

:07:03. > :07:11.Every so often the government gives out a pothole fund.

:07:12. > :07:25.But I think we need to actually plan longer term funding

:07:26. > :07:28.and have a greater proportion of what drivers actually pay

:07:29. > :07:30.in motoring taxes ring-fenced just for maintenance.

:07:31. > :07:33.Because if you ask drivers, it is their number one concern.

:07:37. > :07:39.While more bus passengers are also making claims,

:07:40. > :07:42.saying they've been hurt by the bus jolting about on poor roads.

:07:43. > :07:45.As councils feel the financial squeeze, many fear our local roads

:07:46. > :08:05.We will be talking about that later. And talking about the new scheme as

:08:06. > :08:06.well that is a pothole spotter. We will talk about that later.

:08:07. > :08:10.More must be done to address a sharp rise in the number of suicides among

:08:11. > :08:13.women prisoners in England, according to the prisons watchdog.

:08:14. > :08:15.Self-inflicted deaths among female inmates almost doubled

:08:16. > :08:18.The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman says that reforms recommended

:08:19. > :08:25.a decade ago haven't materialised, as Marc Ashdown reports.

:08:26. > :08:31.For many years, the number of women who took their own life in prisons

:08:32. > :08:37.in England was one or two a year. In 2015, that figure rose to seven, and

:08:38. > :08:42.last year, 12 women. This stark rise prompted the Prisons and Probation

:09:43. > :09:46.Ministry of Justice said the safety of prisoners is a priority, and a

:09:49. > :09:51.as a "monster" cyclone has begun Tens of thousands of people have

:09:52. > :09:54.been evacuated from coastal areas as a result of Cyclone Debbie,

:09:55. > :09:57.which has brought warnings Our Australia Correspondent Hywel

:09:58. > :10:20.Griffith is in Queensland. Good morning. How bad our

:10:21. > :10:26.conditions, there? -- are. Everyone I have spoken to does not really

:10:27. > :10:32.know yet. We're right in the middle of the cyclone hitting the coast. It

:10:33. > :10:35.could take several hours as those gusts hit us at up to 270 kilometres

:10:36. > :10:43.per hour, followed by torrential rain, almost to put of rain falling

:10:44. > :10:50.in some places. The warnings were given several days and events to

:10:51. > :10:55.30,000 people told to find high ground. The preparation has been

:10:56. > :11:06.pretty solid. This town is in lockdown. All the shops have been

:11:07. > :11:12.Sam Day. One fear is that all that water will cause flooding, making

:11:13. > :11:15.some areas cut off. They could make it harder to assess the damage. Some

:11:16. > :11:19.people spoke to an emergency shelter, they might not be up to get

:11:20. > :11:23.back to their home for days. Only then will they know what is left of

:11:24. > :11:28.it and exactly what devastation Cyclone Debbie has brought. Some

:11:29. > :11:30.pretty brutal pictures there. We will keep you across that throughout

:11:31. > :11:31.the programme. Building flood defences can be

:11:32. > :11:33.a complex and expensive task, but scientists say they have found

:11:34. > :11:36.an army of expert engineers willing A six-year study by

:11:37. > :11:43.the University of Exeter found that beaver dams form pools

:11:44. > :11:45.which naturally slow the flow of rivers, reducing

:11:46. > :11:48.the risk of flash flooding. Now conservationists say beaver

:11:49. > :11:52.colonies should be used to protect areas like the Somerset Levels,

:11:53. > :12:01.which are prone to flooding. That is a brilliant idea. And they

:12:02. > :12:09.are so cute, as well. Impressive. Kat is here. Where do you want to

:12:10. > :12:16.start? Domestic cricket in England

:12:17. > :12:28.and Wales is set for This is very dramatic. This is the

:12:29. > :12:31.city teams? Yes. We are ready have a T20, edition going on in England and

:12:32. > :12:36.Wales. And yesterday they made this announcement that they want to run a

:12:37. > :12:40.38 a tournament and it will run at the same time as tests, but what is

:12:41. > :12:44.going to do is spice up cricket in England and Wales, bringing in a new

:12:45. > :12:49.audience and it more interesting, anyway that India and Australia do

:12:50. > :12:56.it with the Big Bash League and the Premier League. And hopefully it

:12:57. > :13:01.will future proof the game. You only need to invest for hours in T20, as

:13:02. > :13:04.opposed to the longer forms of the game. Yes, good morning.

:13:05. > :13:06.Domestic cricket in England and Wales is set for

:13:07. > :13:11.City franchises, instead of county sides,

:13:12. > :13:13.will take centre stage in a new Twenty20 competition

:13:14. > :13:16.to challenge the Indian Premier League and Australia's Big Bash.

:13:17. > :13:20.rather than the 18 county sides, competing over 38 days

:13:21. > :13:24.It will be the first time in the history of domestic cricket

:13:25. > :13:29.Former Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman has submitted

:13:30. > :13:31.a written response to MPs about a mystery medical package

:13:32. > :13:34.delivered to him for the team's former rider

:13:35. > :13:39.He said the Jiffy bag contained a legal decongestant but regretted

:13:53. > :13:55.in preparation for this summers European Championship in Poland.

:13:56. > :13:57.Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored two of the goals.

:13:58. > :14:00.And we'll find out later whether Andy Murray will play

:14:01. > :14:04.for Great Britain in next month's Davis Cup tie against France.

:14:05. > :14:08.Murray has a tear in his elbow, captain Leon Smith names his squad

:14:09. > :14:17.Pretty unlikely we will see Andy Murray featuring. He has a busy few

:14:18. > :14:21.weeks coming up, because he has to defend so many points to defend his

:14:22. > :14:26.number one position. That is the problem when you have a great year.

:14:27. > :14:33.You have to go back and pay for your points. Kat will be back with the

:14:34. > :14:38.papers in a few moments time. It was so lovely last night, wasn't it? A

:14:39. > :14:43.good night for rounders. Do you play rounders?

:14:44. > :14:52.I had my game cancelled last night. It was a lovely evening last night.

:14:53. > :14:58.Lingering cloud in eastern areas making it feel chilly. Yesterday

:14:59. > :15:02.Scotland was the warmest. 19 degrees. Today we switch to the

:15:03. > :15:09.warmest of the conditions towards the south. The forecast for today.

:15:10. > :15:13.Dense fog around in parts of central and southern England. A lot of cloud

:15:14. > :15:20.but where it rakes through some sun and warmth. Some showers. One or two

:15:45. > :15:50.degrees. In the coast, one or two hold on to the cloud throughout. The

:15:51. > :15:55.Midlands and west England having a few. But where they are, heavy and

:15:56. > :15:59.thundery. Scotland, more cloud than we are used to this week and through

:16:00. > :16:03.the weekend. The best of the sunshine towards western areas.

:16:04. > :16:07.Temperatures down on what they would have been. Northern Ireland, rain,

:16:14. > :16:17.out readily in Wales and towards the south-west as we finish the

:16:18. > :16:21.afternoon. Some of the show is where we do see them will be heavy and

:16:22. > :16:26.thundery. Some sunshine in between. Nowhere completely wet today by any

:16:27. > :16:32.means. Showers will become a bit more abundant by Tuesday. The

:16:33. > :16:35.south-east staying driest overnight. Showers will turn a little bit

:16:36. > :16:41.lighter and patchy through the night and become more confined towards the

:16:42. > :16:46.hills. The winds are going in a more southerly direction. Plenty of cloud

:16:47. > :16:54.for Wednesday. Sunshine, a bit more mist for some of you. Scotland will

:16:55. > :16:58.stay the driest with lenders of sunshine. Warmest in the south-east

:16:59. > :17:04.corner. Occasional rain. Dry weather around as well. Bridge is holding up

:17:43. > :17:50.people, though. You do. I would say the minimum for rounders is four on

:23:59. > :24:02.what will happen when we leave it. Maybe things would the NHS will

:24:03. > :24:05.improve because we are not contributing to the EU. It is a

:36:02. > :36:12.And Kat, they are trying to revamp cricket at the moment? Yes. The

:36:13. > :36:21.interesting part is that you know how in county cricket, you will have

:36:22. > :36:25.now instead city cricket. Bristol against Manchester, for example.

:36:26. > :36:29.There was talk of Taunton as well. Will that make it more interesting?

:37:17. > :37:18.we have the ability to make that, you know, that proportion of cricket

:37:27. > :37:30.raises interest in the game from a different audience's perspective

:37:31. > :37:36.should be good. I think to engage more younger, more of the younger

:37:37. > :37:39.generation, that will be good. Just getting people in general more

:45:37. > :45:39.much throughout the night. Some rain possible here and there, mainly

:45:40. > :45:43.throughout western hills, with some ease an area staying dry through the

:45:44. > :45:48.night. And temperatures, as they said, will hold off freezing for

:45:49. > :45:52.most. Because conditions will be in the north-east Scotland. Should be

:45:53. > :45:55.dry tomorrow with sunshine breaking through the cloud. Sunshine breaking

:45:56. > :45:58.through the cloud in the south-west of England and East Anglia on

:45:59. > :46:02.Wednesday, but most areas will have a generally cloudy day, and across

:46:03. > :46:07.the hills and the west, there will be rain on an off throughout the

:46:08. > :46:10.day. Rain heavy on the Wales hills and potentially in south-west

:46:11. > :46:13.Scotland. The temperatures will hold up. That is because winter coming

:46:14. > :46:17.from the south or south-westerly direction. On Thursday, it should be

:46:18. > :46:22.windy across the board. More rain across western areas. It might turn

:46:23. > :46:25.wetter and we will see that the next couple of days. Driest and brightest

:46:26. > :46:29.on Thursday towards parts of the Midlands and eastern England, and it

:46:30. > :46:34.will be a sunny day on Wednesday and potentially an even warmer one.

:46:35. > :46:38.Temperatures to delay could be up to 20 or 21 degrees. A bit of rain in

:46:39. > :46:45.the west, but it will still build recently warm.

:46:46. > :46:48.This morning we're talking about potholes.

:46:49. > :46:51.Do you find yourself constantly trying to avoid them?

:46:52. > :46:54.A report out this morning says they're such a big problem

:46:55. > :46:58.in England and Wales, the repair bill would top ?12 billion.

:46:59. > :47:00.We want to hear your stories, and see your pictures.

:47:01. > :47:19.Walking to my car. I had to leave the main road. This council road has

:47:20. > :47:42.had it. On Monday afternoon I had an

:47:43. > :47:46.accident on my bike where I hit a pothole and full forward off my

:47:47. > :48:14.bike. -- fell. So many problems. She makes that

:48:15. > :48:19.point that when you are on your bicycle it is really alarming. There

:48:20. > :48:26.could be a solution. It is quite clever. They are thinking of putting

:48:27. > :48:31.cameras on bin lorries which take the same route all the time and they

:48:32. > :48:40.want to take photographs to see a pothole developing and fix it

:48:41. > :48:44.earlier. Could it be the answer? It is cost saving as well because they

:48:45. > :48:49.are doing to make jobs at once. Clever. Do get in touch with us. The

:48:50. > :48:54.details are on the screen, I think. Do get in touch with your

:48:55. > :48:58.stories and pictures. You can e-mail us at

:48:59. > :49:01.bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk, find us on Facebook

:49:02. > :49:08.or send us a Tweet. You know how to get in touch because

:49:09. > :49:10.you do it often. Just do what you normally do and I am sure it comes

:49:11. > :49:11.through. Immigration was one of the biggest

:49:12. > :49:14.issues during the EU Referendum campaign, and a day before

:49:15. > :49:16.Theresa May starts the process of Brexit, Steph's taking a look

:49:17. > :49:20.at what changes we should expect. She's on the A50, talking

:49:21. > :49:33.about Article 50, at a hotel Good morning! Good morning. Good

:49:34. > :49:42.morning, everyone. We have stopped for a bit of breakfast here at the

:49:43. > :49:51.Best Western hotel at East Midlands Airport. This restaurant is worried

:49:52. > :49:56.about what will Article 50 mean for immigration? It is something like

:49:57. > :50:01.700,000 people employed in restaurants and bars and hotels come

:50:02. > :50:07.from the European Union, about 15% of the workforce. Many questions

:50:08. > :50:14.being asked about what this means by businesses. We will talk to gel and,

:50:15. > :50:19.a lawyer. -- Joanne. Many businesses are asking what will it mean? We

:50:20. > :50:23.have many different clients coming to us concerned about what will the

:50:24. > :50:28.impact be on existing European staff in the UK and what will be the

:50:29. > :50:36.impact on their future plans? Like the ability to bring in workers. You

:50:37. > :50:41.are not allowed to tell them because there is not much certainty. We

:50:42. > :50:46.don't know what we will have after Brexit. We have a specific system at

:50:47. > :50:49.the moment for non-European nationals to come in and they can

:50:50. > :50:54.come into work for licensed employers and can only work for it

:50:55. > :51:00.specific employer and it has to be skilled or highly skilled work and

:51:01. > :51:07.generally they have to show they tried to feel it already. With

:51:08. > :51:18.European nationals, that is quite a big change. It is really likely that

:51:19. > :51:24.the impact will be on skilled work. We don't really have an ability for

:51:25. > :51:31.low-skilled people to come in to the UK at the moment anyway. And the

:51:32. > :51:35.member of the CBI. There is uncertainty at the moment. Does the

:51:36. > :51:40.hospitality and similar businesses have to be worried? Not much will

:51:41. > :51:46.change. No matter how big the business is, it needs to fish in the

:51:47. > :51:50.biggest reservoir it can for talent. The trouble with the system in the

:51:51. > :51:55.EU is that if a country wants to keep its immigration down it can

:51:56. > :52:02.only stop people coming in from outside the EU. You have a situation

:52:03. > :52:06.where many people you don't want are coming in from the EU. That does not

:52:07. > :52:11.mean you want many people coming in. The only way you can stop that is to

:52:12. > :52:15.enable businesses to fish in a pond that is the whole world, rather than

:52:16. > :52:24.just the EU. That has to be a good thing. Business does not like the

:52:25. > :52:28.alarmism in politicians and the media saying that the world will end

:52:29. > :52:32.in the morning and all of that. The world will not change copy what will

:52:33. > :52:38.happen is the UK government will control all of this and not

:52:39. > :52:43.Brussels. That is what we voted to come out for. We want to control

:52:44. > :52:49.that. I don't think you can stop immigration and unskilled people as

:52:50. > :52:57.you rightly say coming in. A few miles east of here you have the

:52:58. > :53:01.agricultural sector. Were not try to stop people, we are trying to have

:53:02. > :53:06.our elected government looking after the decision as to who and what

:53:07. > :53:14.comes in. Businesses like this one are worried. The British Hospitality

:53:15. > :53:20.Association says it would take them a decade to fill their spots because

:53:21. > :53:26.they don't have the jobs available are you confident there will be

:53:27. > :53:28.enough people? I am. I want to see a big extension of the apprenticeship

:53:29. > :53:33.programme. What happened in the budget is excellent but not enough.

:53:34. > :53:43.Small businesses need to take on more British-born, noticed that

:53:44. > :53:46.word, I am not talking about white or other coloured skins or different

:53:47. > :53:49.religions, I am saying if someone is here they should be positively

:53:50. > :53:54.encouraged, and maybe a degree of sanction, to get those jobs, as you

:53:55. > :53:59.rightly said. But I don't think anyone growing up in the European

:54:00. > :54:04.Union is any different in terms of having a talent. This country will

:54:05. > :54:07.give them a good job and they will pay tax to help us build hospitals

:54:08. > :54:14.and schools. We need to stop alarmism. Thank you for your time

:54:15. > :54:19.this morning, both of you. More from me later on. We will talk to the

:54:20. > :54:23.Chief Executive of the Best Western Hotel for his thoughts on it all.

:54:24. > :54:31.And I am still being followed by that A50. Just to hammer home the

:54:32. > :54:36.point about Article 50, I am on the A50. I like the idea of you guys

:54:37. > :54:38.doing that interview on those tables.

:54:39. > :54:40.Every parent worries about their child, but nothing had

:54:41. > :54:44.prepared Peter for what his son Josh was about to tell him one

:54:45. > :54:48.Josh was 12 when he told his dad he was obsessed with washing his

:54:49. > :54:51.hands and switching his bedroom light on and off over

:54:52. > :54:56.Here's Josh describing how his OCD took over his life.

:54:57. > :55:02.When I was 11 I started to worry about bad things happening, and the

:55:03. > :55:07.only thing that made me feel better was washing my hands. I found myself

:55:08. > :55:14.needing to write every three lines. And certain numbers really freaked

:55:15. > :55:19.me out. People at school noticed and asked me what I was doing. I could

:55:20. > :55:28.not explained to them because I could not understand what was

:55:29. > :55:32.happening to me. LIGHT BEING FLICKED ON AND OFF. I was obsessed about

:55:33. > :55:39.objects being in the right place in my bedroom. Even pieces of rubbish.

:55:40. > :55:46.I would check my room over and over again to make sure nothing moved. It

:55:47. > :55:53.was taking me longer and longer to do my routine. It spread through the

:55:54. > :55:59.house, and I had to be specific things in different rooms. Even my

:56:00. > :56:14.body was affected. I suddenly developed a fear of looking at my

:56:15. > :56:17.feet. I wore my trainers until they fell apart. And then I started

:56:18. > :56:21.telling you that I just kept going. Because it did make me feel so much

:56:22. > :56:25.better and you want to get as much off your chest as possible and it is

:56:26. > :56:26.just a weight off your shoulders. All right.

:56:27. > :56:28.Josh and his dad, Peter, both spoke to Newsround

:56:29. > :56:31.for their "Inside My Head" special on child mental health.

:56:32. > :56:34.We'll be joined by both of them later this morning.

:56:35. > :56:40.About 8:40 is when we will do that for you. And we will talk about what

:56:41. > :56:43.made him feel better and how he coped with those feelings. That is

:56:44. > :00:02.coming up later. Right now, the news, travel, and weather, wherever

:07:24. > :07:25.because of a growing A survey of local councils says

:07:26. > :07:28.some roads have less years before they have

:07:32. > :07:34.Richard Westcott. Crumbling away faster

:07:35. > :07:39.than they can repair them. Our local council-run roads carry

:07:40. > :07:42.a third of the traffic, but this survey says

:07:43. > :07:44.decades of underfunding, coupled with wetter winters and more

:07:45. > :07:48.cars, have left them in a sorry It found that one in six roads

:07:49. > :07:57.is so bad it may need to be replaced Councils are already filling

:07:58. > :08:01.a pothole every 19 seconds. And it would take ?12 billion

:08:02. > :08:05.to bring them all up to scratch. The government says it's chipped

:08:06. > :08:08.in an extra ?1 billion recently Every so often, the government gives

:08:09. > :08:21.out a "pothole fund". But I think we need to actually

:08:22. > :08:26.plan longer term funding and have a greater proportion

:08:27. > :08:29.of what drivers actually pay in motoring taxes ring-fenced

:08:30. > :08:30.just for maintenance. Because if you ask drivers,

:09:32. > :09:34.areas as a result of Cyclone Debbie, which has brought warnings

:09:35. > :09:37.Our Australia Correspondent Hywel Griffith is in Queensland.

:09:38. > :09:47.Well, until these conditions past, is hard to tell. Cyclone Debbie

:09:48. > :09:56.might have landed, that she is not done yet. The main area it hit just

:09:57. > :10:00.south of RAM, in Bowen, and they are without electricity. Roads are

:10:01. > :10:03.close. It is impossible to get there or further down, to Airlie Beach.

:10:04. > :10:08.There is all so been torrential rainfall. Some places and have

:10:09. > :10:11.expected as much as two feet of rain to fall on Monday. That is cause

:10:12. > :10:17.extra risk of running. Emergency services are not going there until

:10:18. > :10:24.the Winsley has dropped. Only then can they go out and assess what the

:10:25. > :10:28.damage is. Only then can we really know what disruption as them. So

:10:29. > :10:36.far, just one report of an injury, of a man in an area called

:10:37. > :10:39.Prosepine, where the wind moved in and is now study to dissipate. But

:10:40. > :10:43.people are being warned that this is not over yet. They will remain in

:10:44. > :10:48.their homes and shops will remain closed, I would imagine, for some

:10:49. > :10:53.days. Electricity, about 50,000 people are without it in the area.

:10:54. > :10:57.They are in for a long week even after Cyclone Debbie has done worse.

:10:58. > :11:05.Thank you very much. A bit disconcerting to see him there. It

:11:06. > :11:11.is lovely to get an update. Because I'm not sure, as was said that, we

:11:12. > :11:15.were very much concerned overnight that it could be very terrible, but

:11:16. > :11:20.so far, only one person has been injured. So in terms of the damage

:11:21. > :11:22.to human lives, it is not as bad as many good it could have been. And I

:11:23. > :11:24.love this story... Building flood defences can be

:11:25. > :11:27.a complex and expensive task but scientists say they have found

:11:28. > :11:30.an army of expert engineers willing A 6-year study by the

:11:31. > :11:39.University of Exeter found that beaver dams form pools

:11:40. > :11:41.which naturally slow the flow of rivers, reducing

:11:42. > :11:44.the risk of flash flooding. Now conservationists say beaver

:11:45. > :11:46.colonies should be used to protect areas like the Somerset Levels,

:11:55. > :11:55.they do build, as well. They are cute, too,

:11:56. > :12:03.aren't they? You have to pay them a daily rate for such a valuable job.

:12:04. > :12:21.It's 7:11 and you're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:12:22. > :12:24.The Democratic Unionists and Sinn Fein have failed to strike

:12:25. > :12:33.The choices now are another election, direct rule

:12:34. > :12:35.from Westminster, or hope for a compromise.

:12:36. > :12:38.Let's talk to the former Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers

:12:39. > :12:44.How optimistic are you that they can reach an agreement? I believe they

:12:45. > :12:47.can. It is a difficult process. You have parties ran to work together

:12:48. > :12:51.that have very different political agendas. Very different ideas on the

:12:52. > :12:56.sort of constitutional future status of Northern Ireland. And bridging

:12:57. > :12:59.those divisions is really difficult, but Northern Ireland's leaders have

:13:00. > :13:03.got themselves through more difficult situations than this one.

:13:04. > :13:05.So I do hope that they will manage that again and come up with

:13:06. > :13:10.something which restores power-sharing. And we have heard the

:13:11. > :13:17.Northern Ireland Secretary talk about a fusion of weeks. Is that

:13:18. > :13:20.enough? I certainly hope so. -- a a few short weeks. There is

:13:21. > :13:25.disappointed that yesterday's deadline was missed. But trying to

:13:26. > :13:31.sort this out in the space of three weeks was always going to be very

:13:32. > :13:35.tough. I chaired to talks, one of 11 weeks and the other ten. And then I

:13:36. > :13:39.had the help that non- wanted to work on through Christmas to bring

:13:40. > :13:47.things to hold I do hope the parties will be able to listen to each

:13:48. > :13:52.other's concerns. -- no wine. It should be possible to bridge the

:13:53. > :13:58.divisions, because it is in nobody's interest for direct rule from

:13:59. > :14:06.Westminster to continue. -- no-one's. Let's talk about James

:14:07. > :14:10.Brokenshire. It is role in jeopardy? I think he is doing an excellent job

:14:11. > :14:16.trying to bring the parties together. One of the tricky things,

:14:17. > :14:22.as any Northern Ireland Secretary in the modern era cases is that a

:14:23. > :14:29.number of key concerns between the parties fall squarely and fairly

:14:30. > :14:33.within the party says. So the parties wanted to go for the thought

:14:34. > :14:36.of their own initiative. There is a strong role for the Secretary of

:14:37. > :14:42.State in co-ordinating these talks, and also, of course, in relation to

:14:43. > :14:48.how we deal with it legacy of Northern Ireland's troubled past.

:14:49. > :14:52.And we know that the DUP and Sinn Fein are blaming each other for the

:14:53. > :14:58.breakdown. From the outside, it looks like neither side are willing

:14:59. > :15:04.to budge. But do you think things will... Do somebody had to move

:15:05. > :15:08.first? Or is it to sites? I think the move, one would hope, would be

:15:09. > :15:12.from both sides. Reasonable, they are looking at very sensitive issues

:15:13. > :15:17.around culture and identity, and these, over the years, a gain and

:15:18. > :15:21.again, and caused political crises in Northern Ireland. But from my

:15:22. > :15:25.understanding, they have been some constructive talks. And although

:15:26. > :15:29.there was a degree of acrimony yesterday when they did not meet the

:15:30. > :15:33.deadline, there have been many instances where talks are broken up

:15:34. > :15:36.with much greater level of bitterness between the parties, I

:15:37. > :15:40.thought there were sending signals coming yesterday, that they were

:15:41. > :15:45.still dread to make this work. This is very much not the end of the Rafa

:15:46. > :15:48.process. It has been three months, this situation, hazarded? What about

:15:49. > :15:52.the impact is Mac because it has a real impact on the budget and the

:15:53. > :15:58.question of government moving along? The budget is the big worry. Now we

:15:59. > :16:04.are moving into emergency measures with civil servants taking over the

:16:05. > :16:08.budget and unless there is a compromise and an agreement against

:16:09. > :16:12.the devolved executive of an running again, ultimately, that will have a

:16:13. > :16:16.significant impact on the amount of money available for public services.

:16:17. > :16:21.For the moment, these measures will keep things ticking over, but

:16:22. > :16:25.actually, there are worrying indications that certain kinds of

:16:26. > :16:28.projects and groups may see their funding jeopardised, and that may

:16:29. > :16:34.lead them to have two lay people off. These situations are having an

:16:35. > :16:36.impact on the ground in Northern Ireland. Thank you for your time

:16:37. > :16:38.here On Breakfast. You're watching

:16:39. > :16:40.Breakfast from BBC News. Doctors in England could be told

:18:18. > :18:21.for one or two. Isolated showers and thunderstorms in the Midlands. A few

:18:22. > :18:26.in north-west England by the end of this afternoon. Across many parts of

:18:27. > :18:31.eastern England and into Scotland, it will stay dry. Southern and

:18:32. > :18:37.eastern areas are not as warm as they have been. The best sunshine

:18:38. > :18:41.warmth in the west. There will be some rain. That will push through

:18:42. > :18:47.the Northern Ireland the afternoon. Brighter skies in the evening.

:18:48. > :18:53.Wales, a few showers on and off but most places will avoid them and stay

:18:54. > :18:58.dry. Cloudy, but sunny spells. Still warm for many. Some cloud to this

:18:59. > :19:04.afternoon and into the night. Not as cool as it has been. The cloud will

:19:05. > :19:09.rain here and there, especially in the west. Many in the east will stay

:19:10. > :19:13.dry. Staying clear of a frost. The exception could be the north-east of

:19:14. > :19:19.Scotland. Tomorrow, north-east Scotland, one of the driest spots

:19:20. > :19:22.with sunny spells the East Anglia and the south-east most likely to

:19:23. > :19:26.stay dry as with a bit of sunshine breaking through the cloud.

:19:27. > :19:31.Generally, a lot of cloud around on Wednesday. The rain will mainly be

:19:32. > :19:34.on the hills. For most of you, by and large dry. Even with the cloud,

:19:35. > :19:42.the web will and large dry. Even with the cloud,

:19:43. > :19:46.temperatures will hold up nicely. -- wind. More rain around. A greater

:19:47. > :19:52.chance of getting wet in western areas. The east, drier. Sunnier than

:19:53. > :19:55.in recent days, especially in central and eastern England.

:19:56. > :20:05.Temperatures could get to 20- 21 degrees with the sun out. That this

:20:06. > :20:08.70 in Fahrenheit. -- is. Cooler by the weekend. In the next few days,

:20:09. > :20:17.if you see the sunshine, it should be quite pleasant. 70! Oh! Thank

:20:18. > :20:19.you. The Government will trigger

:20:20. > :20:21.Article 50 tomorrow, the start of divorce proceedings

:20:22. > :20:23.from the European Union. We're travelling along the A50 trunk

:20:24. > :20:27.road in the Midlands to look I think they have been making

:20:28. > :20:39.is at a hotel in Derbyshire. I think they have been making

:20:40. > :20:45.breakfast. Good morning. A man with a knife, but a professional. People

:20:46. > :20:48.are laughing in the background about that one. Good morning. We are

:20:49. > :20:54.talking about the triggering of Article 50. We will look at what

:20:55. > :21:02.impact it could have on businesses. We are taking it to down the A50. We

:21:03. > :21:09.are at a Best Western hotel. We are in the East Midlands. There is a lot

:21:10. > :21:12.of trepidation about what is leaving the EU means for people and

:21:13. > :21:21.businesses. Children are wondering as well what is going on. Tim

:21:22. > :21:22.Muffett has been to a school in Stoke to see what is going on.

:21:23. > :21:25.Blythe Bridge High School in Stoke-on-Trent.

:21:26. > :21:31.And the prospect of Brexit is triggering emotions.

:21:32. > :21:37.Under-18s couldn't vote in the referendum, yet

:21:38. > :21:41.the consequences of leaving the EU, good or bad, will affect this sector

:21:42. > :21:46.I know we're, like, we're young, and people think we are incapable

:21:47. > :21:49.of making decisions, but I think some of us are and some

:21:50. > :21:54.of us to have voices that want to be heard.

:21:55. > :21:58.We have been in the EU for like 40 years or something and no one really

:21:59. > :22:01.knows what will happen when we leave it.

:22:02. > :22:04.Maybe things with the NHS will improve because we're not

:22:05. > :22:11.It's a scary thing for a lot of young people because it's our

:22:12. > :22:13.future being decided by other people.

:22:14. > :22:15.For some teachers, Brexit has posed a unique challenge.

:22:16. > :22:24.And so that, because we have not got answers yet,

:22:25. > :22:27.none of us have, it gives them anxiety and worry.

:22:28. > :22:29.They don't like the instability and the insecurity.

:22:30. > :22:38.In a recent UK-wide survey, 43% of 11-16 year-olds said

:22:39. > :22:41.that Brexit made them feel anxious, angry, or upset.

:22:42. > :22:44.22% said that leaving the EU made them feel hopeful or delighted,

:22:45. > :22:55.and around one in five did not really care.

:22:56. > :23:02.Why do you think we should be staying the offices of First News,

:23:03. > :23:05.the newspaper aimed at 17-14 year-olds.

:23:06. > :23:13.I think that it has been difficult for adults and children.

:23:14. > :23:18.Each side of the argument has been so overplayed and so cynical

:23:19. > :23:21.that I think it's really difficult for anyone to really understand

:23:22. > :23:24.whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

:23:25. > :23:27.I think younger people are actually better than adults at listening,

:23:28. > :23:29.debating, taking on issues, understanding each other's

:23:30. > :23:40.I think it is a good idea for the people of Britain to get

:23:41. > :23:43.there ideas out there and to get there ideas of freedom

:23:44. > :23:46.We want to be free of this organisation.

:23:47. > :23:52.I know that Britain's public have decided to do this

:23:53. > :24:00.I voted for Brexit because I am a believer.

:24:01. > :24:02.I think we can take advantage of this.

:24:03. > :24:09.The opinions of under-18s didn't count in the referendum,

:24:10. > :24:12.but in schools across the UK, Brexit's proving to be

:24:13. > :24:24.Some interesting thoughts from those young people. The key message is

:24:25. > :24:29.uncertainty. We still don't know what is going to happen and what it

:24:30. > :24:33.will mean. Especially in the hospitality sector. What will it

:24:34. > :24:40.mean in terms of getting enough workers to fill the jobs. We are

:24:41. > :24:45.talking to the general manager of this hotel. Tell us your thoughts.

:24:46. > :24:51.You employ a lot of people from the EU. Currently 25% of our workforce

:24:52. > :24:56.are EU nationals in this industry struggles with recruitment anyway.

:24:57. > :25:00.To lose 25% of your workload would have a detrimental effect on the

:25:01. > :25:05.business. Some industries could have to close their doors. Why do you

:25:06. > :25:09.think it is such a problem to get these people to fill these jobs? The

:25:10. > :25:14.hospitality industry as a whole is not taken too seriously. We need to

:25:15. > :25:18.work with schools and colleges and universities to get people into the

:25:19. > :25:21.hotel industry. It is not just about waiting on tables, it could be

:25:22. > :25:27.finance, painting and decorating. There is always a vacancy within the

:25:28. > :25:32.industry as a whole. When you put a job out, what kind of reception do

:25:33. > :25:38.you get? I put one out recently for a maintenance man and in two months

:25:39. > :25:45.I had three applicants. That is a real struggle for us. You might get

:25:46. > :25:49.a few more being on BBC. And happy birthday. It is your birthday today.

:25:50. > :25:56.Thank you. Bank you for coming to Breakfast. More for me a little bit

:25:57. > :26:01.later on when we talk to a lawyer. Thank you very much. Still coming up

:26:02. > :26:05.for you on Breakfast this morning, hundreds of thousands flee the

:38:08. > :38:14.something like -40 degrees? It is weird. It is a sort of warm cold.

:38:15. > :38:15.Good morning to you. You're watching BBC Breakfast.

:38:16. > :38:19.With coalition forces intensifying their assault

:38:20. > :38:22.against so-called Islamic State in Mosul, the US is being accused

:38:25. > :38:26.Amnesty International says it's alarmed by the scale of recent

:38:27. > :38:30.We'll talk more about that in a moment, but first our

:38:31. > :38:34.Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen has been talking to some of those

:38:35. > :38:43.This family said some of their favourite things. Now that the

:38:44. > :38:48.jihadist have been forced out of the area. IS banned television and made

:38:49. > :39:00.them stay through the worst of the fighting as human shields. This man

:39:01. > :39:09.showed how Bear flat, still near the front line, was virtually destroyed

:39:10. > :39:13.with them in it. He said the men from IS stopped his daughters from

:39:14. > :39:19.going to safety, threatening to hang him from the front door. The people

:39:20. > :39:24.of Mosul have been left with impossible choices. Risk death by

:39:25. > :39:28.staying in their own homes or risk death taking their children across a

:39:29. > :39:37.front line. The Iraqi authorities advised them to stay put.

:39:38. > :39:40.Renad Mansour is a Middle East analyst from the international

:39:41. > :39:48.Good morning. Thank you for talking to us. Can you give us the idea of

:39:49. > :39:53.the situation in Mosul at the moment? The offensive is carrying

:39:54. > :39:59.on. All the different Iraqi forces at play. The morale is high. They

:40:00. > :40:04.are looking to defeat the Islamic State in the coming weeks, is

:40:05. > :40:10.months. At this stage, it is the hardest battle. You're getting into

:40:11. > :40:15.densely populated areas, narrow streets, with Isis fighters tried to

:40:16. > :40:19.blend into local populations. And because of that, sadly, we must

:40:20. > :40:24.expect and anticipate more civilian casualties and problems involving

:40:25. > :40:29.civilians caught in the crossfire, during this urban style warfare. Is

:40:30. > :40:35.it impossible, in your eyes, then, to defeat Islamic State and protect

:40:36. > :40:39.civilians? I think in any kind of all you have a civilian population

:40:40. > :40:42.staying put, it is impossible to protect all civilians. We have seen

:40:43. > :40:48.in other battles against Isis in other parts of Iraq as well, when

:40:49. > :40:54.civilians on stage, it has been problematic. Be that because of a

:40:55. > :40:58.strike, artillery, it is just a cost of war. And as tragic as that

:40:59. > :41:03.sounds, most Iraqis would still say that it is a necessary sort of

:41:04. > :41:06.battle and that most Iraqis want Isis to be removed from their

:41:07. > :41:10.second-largest city, Mosul, as well as the other cities. The Pentagon

:41:11. > :41:16.said they are investigating potentially significant as strikes

:41:17. > :41:20.that occurred on the 17th of March. It was reported by some to kill 200

:41:21. > :41:26.civilians. How significant could that be? Certainly, it has changed

:41:27. > :41:30.the narrative. It is a major setback for the offensive. The morale was

:41:31. > :41:35.high. Tribuddharat was higher. Everybody was on the same page.

:41:36. > :41:43.Everybody was fighting against the common enemy. With this new Omid

:41:44. > :41:46.latest breaking news, the narrative as started to change. People are

:41:47. > :41:51.starting to question the costs of the war. So does have an impact. But

:41:52. > :41:55.that is not to say, as I have been saying, this is warfare. These

:41:56. > :42:03.battles. You will have these. The as strikes are some extent necessary in

:42:04. > :42:08.the fight against Isis, targeting snipers, from the air. And when the

:42:09. > :42:14.abstract is not there, like we saw in Ramadi, previously, you have more

:42:15. > :42:19.difficulties for the ground forces, as well as more need for artillery

:42:20. > :42:28.to basically Shalvey city. Either way, there will be costs of war. --

:42:29. > :42:34.shell the city. From your perspective, what is the perspective

:42:35. > :42:40.of the people of Mosul? Are we looking at years or months? Well, in

:42:41. > :42:45.the short-term military victory, we're talking months. Certainly by

:42:46. > :42:49.at least the summer, there will be some sudden declaration, one would

:42:50. > :42:54.imagine. However, that would be a short-term, not a secure kind of

:42:55. > :42:57.victory. Stabilisation, reconstruction, these things, even

:42:58. > :43:01.getting to a political settlement, which nobody is talking about yet,

:43:02. > :43:05.that will take years, and think. So it will be a very short term, and

:43:06. > :43:10.not a very stable victory that will be declared. But as we have seen

:43:11. > :43:13.another parts, they are liable to still continue with insurgencies

:43:14. > :43:18.with different kinds of suicide attacks. And we poke holes into the

:43:19. > :43:24.victories that are made by Iraqi forces. Thank you for talking to us

:43:25. > :43:30.this morning. Let's talk to Peter Hawkins

:43:31. > :43:33.from the children's charity Unicef. He was in Mosul last week,

:43:34. > :43:40.and is now 50 miles away in Erbil. Thank you so much for joining us.

:43:41. > :43:44.Just described to us what you saw when you were in Mosul. The

:43:45. > :43:52.situation in these Mosul and West Mosul is very different. Liberation

:43:53. > :43:57.of East Mosul has been taken successful place over the last two

:43:58. > :44:03.months. Normal life is resuming. -- in contrast, as your report is just

:44:04. > :44:08.indicated, in West Mosul, which is across the river, the situation is

:44:09. > :44:12.horrific. That is the only way we can describe it. There are probably

:44:13. > :44:20.200,000 children left in the centre of Mosul. They are unable to leave,

:44:21. > :44:26.probably held as human shields, against the bombardment, and for

:44:27. > :44:30.many of us who have been in the war of this nature, in hearing those

:44:31. > :44:40.bombs go off, being killed by those bonds are as members of family, this

:44:41. > :44:47.is causing calls for all sides to restrict the Mac respect

:44:48. > :44:51.humanitarian law. -- for all sides to respect humanitarian law. You

:44:52. > :44:57.have described the situation there, but what is it like for children at?

:44:58. > :45:01.Are their place of them to go to? Every day, we are increasing the

:45:02. > :45:06.number of places. Over 200,000 people have left Mosul itself.

:45:07. > :45:12.180000 and West Mosul. As the people come out, it camps are being made

:45:13. > :45:18.and built. We have been building camps every day. UNICEF have put in

:45:19. > :45:25.new latrines every day, so that people every day can have access to

:45:26. > :45:29.water and sanitation. Those camps are... It is difficult. It is

:45:30. > :45:35.raining at the moment. The area where the people are entering has

:45:36. > :45:41.only been recently retaken itself. But we are working throughout the

:45:42. > :45:45.day to try and ensure that those cancer fall as people come out. The

:45:46. > :45:51.problem is going to be if people suddenly come out. If 100,000 or

:45:52. > :45:56.150,000, as indeed was the case in Falluja, in the south, this time

:45:57. > :46:00.last year, if they suddenly come out, then we will be challenged by

:46:01. > :46:07.ensuring that they do have shelter, they do have water, they do have

:46:08. > :46:09.sanitation. Peter Hawkins from UNICEF, thank you for bringers that

:46:10. > :46:11.account. You're watching

:46:12. > :46:13.Breakfast from BBC News. Doctors in England could be told

:46:14. > :46:17.to stop prescribing cold remedies, gluten-free foods, and some

:46:18. > :46:20.ointments, in a bid to save hundreds There's a warning that one in six

:46:21. > :46:30.local roads in England and Wales are in such bad condition

:46:31. > :46:33.because of potholes they'll need to be repaired or closed

:46:34. > :46:36.within five years. Here's Matt with a look

:46:37. > :46:48.at this morning's weather. He is talking about hot

:46:49. > :46:52.temperatures. 20 degrees! Even 21! This is what it looks like in

:46:53. > :46:58.Edinburgh this morning. A similar sky to London. That looks rather

:46:59. > :47:08.nice. This is what it is like outside our studio. A very still

:47:09. > :47:16.get. Not a ripple on the water. You almost want to dive in. -- day. I

:47:17. > :47:25.would have a little dabble. You can do it safely with people watching.

:47:26. > :47:33.Always safety first. The rest of the weather for all of us. London. A

:47:34. > :47:37.lovely day. The cloud is now starting to break and the sun is

:47:38. > :47:41.coming out and we could hit 20 degrees in parts of the south-east.

:47:42. > :47:45.Scotland has been the warmest in the past few days. Not that warm

:47:46. > :47:53.everywhere as I will show you. The forecast is not a bad spring day.

:47:54. > :47:59.Morning gloom will break. Sunny spells coming out. Unlike recent

:48:00. > :48:03.days, one or two showers. Some could crop up this morning in south-west

:48:04. > :48:14.England and Wales. More mist Bannon hit. A little bit grey. -- than.

:48:15. > :48:23.A big difference. With sunshine coming out, we could hit 20 degrees.

:48:24. > :48:27.Feeling warmer than in recent days, especially as the wind eases down.

:48:28. > :48:33.Afternoon showers, especially in the Midlands, with the odd rumble of

:48:34. > :48:39.thunder. Most of the showers are few and far between. Most will stay dry.

:48:40. > :48:48.The sunshine may be limited to western areas. The evening

:48:49. > :48:52.rush-hour, rain pushing across Northern Ireland. A wet spell for

:48:53. > :48:58.the second half of their day. A little bit of sunshine either side.

:48:59. > :49:03.Wales, a good scattering of showers. Did gaps between them. Some will

:49:04. > :49:09.stay dry. -- big. Cooler cross eastern coasts. Not as cold as it

:49:10. > :49:16.has been through the night as there is more cloud to come. Outbreaks of

:49:17. > :49:21.rain at times merely across western areas and in the hills. The coldest

:49:22. > :49:26.will be western Scotland. A touch of frost. Wednesday, dry weather with a

:49:27. > :49:31.bit of sunshine. The east and south-east, the most likely to stay

:49:32. > :49:36.dry. More cloud today. Sunshine coming through. Elsewhere, generally

:49:37. > :49:40.cloudy. Some rain around. Wales, north-west England, the hills, that

:49:41. > :49:48.is where you will see it, and the south-west of Scotland. A bit of

:49:49. > :49:52.strong wind by Thursday. Wet as well in western areas. Not as good a

:49:53. > :49:57.chance of staying dry on Thursday. Central and eastern England and

:49:58. > :50:02.maybe south-east Scotland, more sunshine compared to Wednesday. More

:50:03. > :50:09.warm. Even with the breeze, central and eastern England could reach 20-

:50:10. > :50:12.21 degrees. In the west, still in the teens. That is how it is

:50:13. > :50:20.looking. Back to you both. Beautiful. Thank you. From this

:50:21. > :50:34.distance I cannot spot any potholes. What about you, Matt, can you see

:50:35. > :50:41.any? No. They have been filling them in as they knew you were coming.

:50:42. > :50:42.This morning we're talking about potholes.

:50:43. > :50:45.Do you find yourself constantly trying to avoid them?

:50:46. > :50:48.A report out this morning says they're such a big problem

:50:49. > :50:51.in England and Wales, the repair bill would top ?12 billion.

:50:52. > :50:54.We want to hear your stories, and see your pictures.

:50:55. > :51:15.On Monday afternoon I had an accident on my bike where I hit

:51:16. > :51:47.a pothole and fell forward off my bike.

:51:48. > :52:01.We have so many e-mails. Where do we start? Paul says they have to

:52:02. > :52:06.backfill the tarmac and seal the repair. Thank you for your

:52:07. > :52:15.knowledge. Highway agents dump some tarmac in the hole and rely on other

:52:16. > :52:22.factors to fixed. So he thinks that they need a new way to fix it. -- to

:52:23. > :52:29.fix it. North Somerset is apparently all four. Tarmac surfaces have a

:52:30. > :52:32.life of 15- 25 years depending on traffic density and construction. It

:52:33. > :52:37.sounds like Richard knows what he talks about. Apparently every 19

:52:38. > :52:44.seconds one is billed. You know how many there are. A lot of work still

:52:45. > :52:51.out there. -- filled. We are looking at getting a camera on the bin

:52:52. > :52:52.lorries to fill them forming overtime.

:52:53. > :52:55.Immigration was one of the biggest issues during the EU Referendum

:52:56. > :52:58.campaign, and a day before Theresa May starts the process

:52:59. > :53:01.of Brexit, Steph's taking a look at what changes we should expect.

:53:02. > :53:04.She's on the A50, talking about Article 50, at a hotel

:53:05. > :53:16.People seem to be checking in. Checking out, maybe. Yes. Some

:53:17. > :53:21.checking out this morning after having their breakfast. Like us. We

:53:22. > :53:26.are talking about triggering Article 50 which will be happening tomorrow

:53:27. > :53:30.and what it will mean and these two years of negotiations we have a

:53:31. > :53:39.head. What will it mean for businesses? We are looking at the

:53:40. > :53:44.hospital industry -- hospitality industry to see what it means for

:53:45. > :53:51.them as they used 700,000 employees from the EU. You are the Chief

:53:52. > :53:58.Executive of Best Western. Is this on your radar? It is definitely on

:53:59. > :54:02.our radar. We business people and we have 4.5 million people employed our

:54:03. > :54:06.industry, 700,000 of which are EU nationals. It is a big worry for

:54:07. > :54:11.many workers to be some have actually decided to go home already

:54:12. > :54:14.because of that uncertainty. We do not have a roadmap with the

:54:15. > :54:19.government and understanding the timescales involved with Brexit.

:54:20. > :54:25.What are you doing about it? You are saying you are seeing people

:54:26. > :54:29.leaving. Are you able to fill the jobs they are leaving? We have had

:54:30. > :54:35.vacancies in the industry for some time, across all of our hotels in

:54:36. > :54:41.Best Western. With 700,000 additional holes in our employment,

:54:42. > :54:46.it is a problem, and Brexit is exacerbating the issue. The

:54:47. > :54:51.underlying issue is people have a perception of working in our

:54:52. > :54:56.industry. I love it. I joined a few years ago and it is a great industry

:54:57. > :55:01.to work in. 42% of parents discourage children from working in

:55:02. > :55:05.the industry. We need to look at that and look at making hospitality

:55:06. > :55:12.a first choice career for young people. You want to fill the job

:55:13. > :55:18.with British people? Overnight? We would struggle. 95% of one hotel's

:55:19. > :55:27.workforce is EU nationals. They would have to shut. Good morning. We

:55:28. > :55:32.are hearing concerns from industry but you don't think we have to

:55:33. > :55:36.worry, do you? No, because businesses do not like uncertainty

:55:37. > :55:43.in anything. The quicker we sort this out the better. Many will be

:55:44. > :55:48.watching this, from parents to local authorities in a community. The

:55:49. > :55:54.leisure industry employs enormously. It is a great entry-level employer.

:55:55. > :55:59.Many people can get a start in the world of work in this industry. We

:56:00. > :56:02.need more of a assistance in apprenticeships and more local

:56:03. > :56:08.authority linking in and building capacity. But the big message to get

:56:09. > :56:12.out here tomorrow, and a big a massive thing is going to happen

:56:13. > :56:17.tomorrow, is that I don't think much is going to change be honest. There

:56:18. > :56:24.is a lot of alarmism. If I may say, the media fans it and alarmists do

:56:25. > :56:32.that as well because they want to fan it. We need people to understand

:56:33. > :56:40.that we aren't telling people to go, we are telling people that we want

:56:41. > :56:45.to choose who comes in. Why would you say it is about Europe? We want

:56:46. > :56:49.to take from everywhere. If you are from Europe, you will be as welcome

:56:50. > :56:54.as always. But if you come from India or Canada or New Zealand, you

:56:55. > :56:58.are equally standing in the government's appraisal, so we can

:56:59. > :57:03.fish in a world of talent, as opposed to just the EU's talent.

:57:04. > :57:10.That is what we want to do. We have to get rid of the idea that tomorrow

:57:11. > :57:15.will be Armageddon. We just have to fish in the whole reservoir of

:57:16. > :57:19.talent. I will say to someone in the EU today, you are as worthy today as

:57:20. > :57:25.you were at yesterday. Thank you very much. I will be here throughout

:57:26. > :57:33.the morning talking to people about their thoughts on it. That is it for

:57:34. > :00:54.me. An. Right. We are a bit late. News,

:07:43. > :07:49.and last year, 12 women. This stark rise prompted the Prisons

:07:50. > :07:53.and Probation Ombudsman, Nigel Newcomen, to examine 19 cases

:07:54. > :07:59.of suicide over a 4-year period. He has identified crucial areas

:11:54. > :11:56.in England and Wales says ?12 billion is needed

:11:57. > :11:58.to the fix the problem. Let's talk to Peter Fleming,

:11:59. > :12:01.deputy chair of the Local Government Association,

:12:02. > :12:03.who's in our Westminster studio, and David Greenfield who's leading

:12:04. > :12:08.research in tackling Peter, first of all, what is being

:12:09. > :12:11.done at the moment to fix our roads? Every 19 seconds in a local council

:12:12. > :12:16.somewhere a pothole is being filled in. Absolutely. We are not able to

:12:17. > :12:23.get totally on top of the problem, and we reckon there is a ?12 billion

:12:24. > :12:28.backlog just to bring our local roads which are 97% of the roads in

:12:29. > :12:36.this country, up to scratch. Successive governments have

:12:37. > :12:39.underfunded the road network hugely. The roads they are in charge of, the

:12:40. > :12:47.motorways, they get funding of over a mile, but local road network,

:12:48. > :12:54.?27,000, and it is that gap that is really causing the problem. -- they

:12:55. > :12:58.get funding of over a mile. We are paying more council tax, but the

:12:59. > :13:06.roads are in a worse condition. So why is that? Why is money not being

:13:07. > :13:12.directed to fixing an incredibly heavily used system of roads? We

:13:13. > :13:16.agree, but councils and pressure Iran adult social care and other

:13:17. > :13:23.issues which are costing councils more and more money -- pressure

:13:24. > :13:28.around adult social care. This is not seen as a priority by

:13:29. > :13:31.government. We need this extra money, the ?12 billion, just to

:13:32. > :13:36.bring the local roads network up to scratch so we are starting from that

:13:37. > :13:41.level playing field. We believe it can be funded through tax that is

:13:42. > :13:48.already being paid, so when you fill up your car, that fuel duty that you

:13:49. > :13:51.pay, if 2p of that could be redirected to our local road network

:13:52. > :13:56.we believe that we could really start to make a positive impact on

:13:57. > :13:59.the state of our roads. There is another way of looking at this, we

:14:00. > :14:07.talked about potholes a lot on breakfast. David is a research

:14:08. > :14:12.director, to do with bin lorries and potholes, what is this? We are being

:14:13. > :14:17.funded by the Department for Transport to look at how we can

:14:18. > :14:22.prevent potholes from forming in the first place and we have fitted

:14:23. > :14:26.cameras to a bin lorry and we will be taking images of the road as the

:14:27. > :14:34.bin lorry passers-by on its daily work. Those bin lorries go on the

:14:35. > :14:41.same route every week? Absolutely. So they will have a very exact view?

:14:42. > :14:45.Very much. We are using high-definition imagery so we can

:14:46. > :14:50.build up a portfolio of pictures over time to look at how the pothole

:14:51. > :14:53.progresses in terms of forming, and what we are trying to do is have

:14:54. > :14:59.that data so we can look backwards and see how it starts and whether we

:15:00. > :15:05.can prevent that in the future. Will it be the case, the information will

:15:06. > :15:11.come back and it will feed through and it will say, and so and so road,

:15:12. > :15:14.there is a pothole forming, can you address that and get that done

:15:15. > :15:20.before it forms into a pothole which can damage cars? That is what we are

:15:21. > :15:24.hoping. We will get more information as we progress to the trial but it

:15:25. > :15:26.is ready there to help the council understands the problems that are

:15:27. > :15:31.emerging and the problems that are currently there.

:15:32. > :15:36.A lot of our viewers getting this touch saying the potholes are a

:15:37. > :15:41.problem, but it is the way that they're treated is another issue as

:15:42. > :15:46.well. Yeah, I mean, it is an interesting trial that's taking

:15:47. > :15:51.place. Finding potholes for us isn't the problem at the moment and any

:15:52. > :15:56.research that can help better understand how a pothole forms I

:15:57. > :16:00.think would be welcome. The problem we've got at the moment is the

:16:01. > :16:04.chronic under funding historically which means we're lefting with that

:16:05. > :16:08.?12 billion bill just to bring our roads up to scratch at the moment

:16:09. > :16:14.and any repaired roads so if you just patch a road is weaker than the

:16:15. > :16:19.road was before, just by its nature and we have many roads and your

:16:20. > :16:22.viewers will know them which are just patched and patched and patched

:16:23. > :16:28.and that's because you know, there isn't that core funding to

:16:29. > :16:33.fundamentally solve the years of under funding by Government of our

:16:34. > :16:38.local road network. He makes a good point, doesn't he, David? Locating

:16:39. > :16:44.potholes isn't a problem. So many of our viewers got in contact today to

:16:45. > :16:48.talk about the pothole that's on their road or on their way to work

:16:49. > :16:51.or school and they are huge and they are causing damage to cars sth It is

:16:52. > :16:55.not something that we're going out there to just find potholes. The

:16:56. > :17:02.trial is to identify what's out there and to look at how we can use

:17:03. > :17:05.the imagery to improve other parts of the road service, kerbs and

:17:06. > :17:10.drains and other defects that would be useful to the council and helping

:17:11. > :17:14.them make decisions on what they do with their road network and it is

:17:15. > :17:18.key to say that the trial areas that we're looking at in Thurrock and

:17:19. > :17:22.York and in Wiltshire and being sponsored by the Department for

:17:23. > :17:26.Transport is really innovative in the way that they are looking at

:17:27. > :17:29.this and using data and new technology rather than the

:17:30. > :17:35.traditional ways of understanding how potholes can be measured. We're

:17:36. > :17:38.getting imagery that will be on a weekly basis compared to annual.

:17:39. > :17:44.Thank you very much, Peter and David. Thank you both very much

:17:45. > :17:47.indeed. Lee from Somerset, "North smet is awful. I live in

:17:48. > :17:54.Weston-super-Mare. The roads are so bad even a bus got stuck last year

:17:55. > :17:59.because the hole was so big. The council run round and do a fill and

:18:00. > :18:07.then a few days later the hole is even bigger." Thank you for your

:18:08. > :18:13.pothole rants. Thank you for those. I hope you feel better!

:18:51. > :19:00.is looking pothole-free! Weather and travel here together on the BBC! !

:19:01. > :19:03.More cloud around the UK today. Sunny spells will break through for

:19:04. > :19:07.most of us, but there will be rain in the form of showers across

:19:08. > :19:09.western areas later. Some of the showers cropping up this morning.

:19:10. > :19:17.South-west England and towards the south-west of Wales. More miss than

:19:18. > :19:22.hit. Sunshine will win through for many, but the skies will remain grey

:19:23. > :19:26.across parts of east and north-east England and towards the east of

:19:27. > :19:30.Scotland and where that does happen, temperatures will struggle at nine

:19:31. > :19:36.or ten Celsius at the very best. But for most, once the sun is out, it

:19:37. > :19:39.will be another pleasant day. Warmest this time, instead of

:19:40. > :19:42.Scotland, it will be the South East of England. We could see somewhere

:19:43. > :19:48.hit 20 Celsius. If that happens, it will be the warmest day of the year

:19:49. > :19:53.so far in England, but we could see a few showers pop up at the same

:19:54. > :19:58.time. Where we see the showers they could be heavy and thundery.

:19:59. > :20:01.Scotland seeing much more cloud today especially and in central and

:20:02. > :20:06.eastern parts. Not as warm. Temperatures could hit the mid-teens

:20:07. > :20:09.across western areas, but Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders sees

:20:10. > :20:13.rain into the afternoon and Northern Ireland through the afternoon will

:20:14. > :20:16.see a spell of wet weather. It won't last too long. Sunshine will come

:20:17. > :20:19.out for the evening with one or two showers continuing into the night.

:20:20. > :20:23.For Wales, we will see isolated showers through the afternoon. A lot

:20:24. > :20:27.more cloud than recent days, but here, a bit of sunshine and pleasant

:20:28. > :20:30.enough when the sun is out. Overnight, we will see more rain

:20:31. > :20:34.develop across western areas at times. Many will stay dry overnight

:20:35. > :20:38.particularly further south and east you are and not as cold as recent

:20:39. > :20:41.nights with much more cloud around. A breeze starting to pick up from

:20:42. > :20:45.the south. Coldest conditions will be in the north-east of Scotland as

:20:46. > :20:49.we start tomorrow morning, but here a dry day with sunny spells. Some

:20:50. > :20:52.sunshine will break through the cloud in East Anglia and the South

:20:53. > :20:56.East, but a lot of cloud around on Wednesday and we will see more rain

:20:57. > :21:00.especially on the hills of Wales, north-west England and across parts

:21:01. > :21:04.of south-west Scotland. The odd spot of rain elsewhere in the west.

:21:05. > :21:08.Temperatures not faring too badly. But the breeze does pick up and a

:21:09. > :21:15.windier day to come on Thursday. We will see more in the way of rain. A

:21:16. > :21:19.greater chance of getting wet across the western fringes particularly

:21:20. > :21:24.Ireland. The further east, you are, the more likely you are to stay dry.

:21:25. > :21:30.We could staomp tures on Thursday across parts of East Anglia and

:21:31. > :21:34.south-east peak at 20 or 21 Celsius. Things though turn cooler for the

:21:35. > :21:39.weekend. So enjoy the warmth while you've got it. Back to you both.

:21:40. > :21:44.Matt, thank you very much. See you in half an hour.

:21:45. > :22:02.You sound like you were meeting up! Each year the NHS spends ?6.5

:22:03. > :22:12.million on ointments and ?22 million on gluten-free foods.

:22:13. > :22:16.It is likely to lead to changes in advice for GPs.

:22:17. > :22:27.For example gluten -free food. How many people are prescribed it as it

:22:28. > :22:32.were? We get a lot of people who have been prescribed it. If they

:22:33. > :22:36.have had a proper diagnosis of coeliac disease. We've restricted

:22:37. > :22:42.what people could get. We had patients with a very large shopping

:22:43. > :22:47.list of different products that you can buy, but we've restricted that

:22:48. > :22:51.to things like a few loaves of gluten -free and pasta and what have

:22:52. > :22:56.you, what any reasonable person would think should be available to

:22:57. > :23:00.somebody on a monthly prescription, not things like biscuits and cakes

:23:01. > :23:03.and things like that which people can now buy freely from

:23:04. > :23:07.supermarkets. That's the key point, isn't it? Lots of the things that

:23:08. > :23:13.would be prescribed at a high cost for the NHS are freely, well not

:23:14. > :23:16.freely available, available from the supermarkets you buy your normal

:23:17. > :23:20.weekly shopping in? On my computer it tells me the price of every

:23:21. > :23:26.product and I look at it and think, "Well, actually, why don't you go to

:23:27. > :23:32.the chemist and buy that?" Something like paracetamol, if you have got a

:23:33. > :23:37.long-term medical contrast like osteoarthritis, you will need 200 a

:23:38. > :23:41.month, it is not practical and not desirable for me to say buy those

:23:42. > :23:44.from the chemist because you can only buy a certain number on a

:23:45. > :23:48.certain day, can't you? Are you concerned as a GP taking away

:23:49. > :23:53.products, you know, fewer and fewer things you're able to give away for

:23:54. > :23:57.free. People pay for prescriptions, but are you concerned by things

:23:58. > :24:02.being added to the list? No, I think what we need to do, medicine always

:24:03. > :24:07.moves on. Society moves on. The NHS cannot be a basket that covers every

:24:08. > :24:12.eventuality in your life and the things that they mentioned are of

:24:13. > :24:15.low clinical value and we have to say to people, "Look, if you want

:24:16. > :24:18.this, we used to prescribe, but actually evidence is that actually

:24:19. > :24:24.some of this is probably a little bit of a placebo effect. If you want

:24:25. > :24:28.it, you can buy it or we'll prescribe it for you privately." If

:24:29. > :24:33.it is one of the products you can't get over the counter, but you desire

:24:34. > :24:41.it. If you try and look at it positively, it could be seen as NHS

:24:42. > :24:45.administration #k56ing catching up with the way we do things? We have

:24:46. > :24:48.to review what is clinically effective and what we should be

:24:49. > :24:54.prescribing and we have to make choices in the NHS and this is just

:24:55. > :24:58.another choice. Another example is travel vaccines and so, there is the

:24:59. > :25:03.change to that and in some ways you'd think that was a good idea or

:25:04. > :25:08.not? Well, I think years ago people didn't travel as much. Now people

:25:09. > :25:12.are travelling all the time and for us just to, for the NHS to say we'll

:25:13. > :25:16.fund the whole of that is another change in society. Really, I mean,

:25:17. > :25:21.my personal view is that if you can afford to go on holiday, you can

:25:22. > :25:25.afford the vaccines. What would you say to somebody who might be

:25:26. > :25:30.watching thinking, "Hold on a minute, I need that medicine, it

:25:31. > :25:34.makes a difference to me." We have that discussion all the time about

:25:35. > :25:38.lots of products. What you perceive as being beneficial. I mean things

:25:39. > :25:43.like ointments and rubs, often the benefit is just rubbing the thing

:25:44. > :25:47.on, it gives you some been fit. When you actually do a controlled trial

:25:48. > :25:51.there is no benefit between the active ingredient and just something

:25:52. > :25:54.that's in it. We have to have those discussions that this product isn't

:25:55. > :25:59.actually really worth having on the NHS. OK. Very interesting, thank you

:26:00. > :26:02.very much. I'm sure we will behaving lots more discussions. Lots of

:26:03. > :26:09.people getting in touch too, thank you.

:26:10. > :26:17.Coming up will be the weather as you said... I won't be with Matt.

:26:18. > :26:21.Steph is out and about because Article 50 gets triggered tomorrow

:26:22. > :26:25.and Steph is out and about on the A50 all this week. I think she is in

:26:26. > :26:29.the East Midlands. We had Shaun out and about yesterday in the Potteries

:26:30. > :26:34.and we will be there throughout this week following things through the

:26:35. > :26:39.week to see how the changes that Article 50 will affect us. Thank you

:26:40. > :26:42.for your messages. We're calling them messages about potholes.

:26:43. > :26:48.Macclesfield is horrendous says Emma. My poor car is feeling the

:26:49. > :26:51.effects. Yet again I need new parts. Amy, Reading is bad, especially the

:26:52. > :26:58.main bus routes. The roads are awful. We had news yesterday of one

:26:59. > :27:03.car issue that cost ?10,000 to fix and that's a cost to the council.

:27:04. > :30:21.It's time to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:30:22. > :30:24.It's time to get the news, weekend. Quite a nice week ahead

:30:25. > :30:26.nevertheless. I'm back with the latest

:30:27. > :30:28.from the BBC London Hello, this is Breakfast

:30:29. > :30:37.with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. Health bosses are to look at plans

:30:38. > :30:39.to save hundreds of millions of pounds a year by stopping

:30:40. > :30:42.prescriptions for things like gluten-free food,

:30:43. > :30:50.muscle rubs and omega 3 fish oils. We were just talking to a GP about

:30:51. > :30:54.this. The changes are part

:30:55. > :30:56.of a proposal to cut down on what NHS England called

:31:30. > :31:45.and Sinn Fein have failed to strike Let's talk to our Northern Ireland

:31:46. > :31:49.correspondent, Chris Page. You described this as one of the

:31:50. > :31:53.worst crises in many years. That is right. Certainly the worst in a

:31:54. > :31:56.decade. The two main parties, the Democratic Unionists and Sinn Fein,

:31:57. > :32:01.had a spectacular fallout in January. The coalition collapsed.

:32:02. > :32:05.There was another election. They came back as the two largest

:32:06. > :32:09.parties. They had three weeks to strike a deal but the deadline ran

:32:10. > :32:12.out yesterday. The Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire has

:32:13. > :32:17.effectively extended the deadline. He said the parties have a short

:32:18. > :32:22.window of a few weeks to sort out their differences. He has not been

:32:23. > :32:25.specific, no firm deadline. Most politicians at Stormont think that

:32:26. > :32:29.if things are not sorted out by the end of April, the Government will

:32:30. > :32:34.have to look at imposing direct rule. Allowing Westminster to take

:32:35. > :32:40.over the running of Northern Ireland and suspending devolution. The

:32:41. > :32:46.parties say they are willing to talk they say they want evolution back up

:32:47. > :32:50.and running. If it does not happen, the options for everyone involved in

:32:51. > :32:54.this process are unappealing. There would have to be another election of

:32:55. > :32:59.the Stormont Assembly or we would have to go to the situation where

:33:00. > :33:03.Northern Ireland cannot run itself and London ministers have to take

:33:04. > :33:06.over. That could be the incentive the politicians need to strike a

:33:07. > :33:13.deal but there are still many obstacles to be overcome and no body

:33:14. > :33:17.believes this process will end easily in an agreement. Thank you.

:37:36. > :37:40.popular. The answer is this new Twenty20 tournament that will run

:37:41. > :37:47.over the summer from 2020. What a perfect date! Instead of having

:37:48. > :37:53.counties taking part, do you identify with your county? Part of

:37:54. > :37:59.Lancashire? Yorkshire? Would you get out and back your nearest city?

:38:05. > :38:07.competing in this. Interesting. It is not the end of cricket as we know

:38:08. > :38:11.it. It is just a tournament. A new competition

:38:15. > :38:15.a Twenty20 tournament featuring eight city franchises,

:38:16. > :38:17.instead of county sides, will take centre stage during school

:38:18. > :38:19.summer holidays from 2020. It won't be the end of county

:39:48. > :39:56.Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro. Roger Federer, bouncing back,

:39:57. > :40:01.rediscovering the old days, rolling back the clock. Unbelievable.

:40:02. > :40:05.Winning the Australian open was remarkable. He went on to win in

:40:06. > :40:12.Indian Wells a few weeks ago and now here he is in Miami. Still so good

:40:13. > :40:17.to watch. There is a flow and a rhythm to his play. It is like

:40:18. > :40:22.ballet. Wonderful to watch. Graceful sportsman at his best. Thank you.

:40:23. > :40:25.Every parent worries about their child, but nothing had

:40:26. > :40:27.prepared Peter for what his son, Josh, was about to tell him

:40:28. > :40:34.Josh was 12 when he told his dad he was obsessed

:40:35. > :40:34.with washing his hands and switching his bedroom light

:40:35. > :40:39.Now diagnosed with OCD, Josh is urging other children to talk

:40:40. > :40:45.We'll talk to him and his dad in a moment, but first, here's Josh

:40:46. > :40:49.describing how his condition took over his life.

:40:50. > :40:54.When I was 11, I started to worry about bad things happening

:40:55. > :40:57.and the only thing that made me feel better was washing my hands.

:40:58. > :41:00.I found myself needing to write every three lines and certain

:41:01. > :41:06.People at school noticed and asked me what I was doing.

:41:07. > :41:09.I couldn't explain to them because I didn't understand

:41:10. > :41:25.I was obsessed about objects being in the right place in my bedroom.

:41:26. > :41:35.I would check my room over and over again to make sure nothing moved.

:41:36. > :41:41.When I started telling you, I just kept going because it did

:41:42. > :41:44.make me feel so much better and you want to get as much

:41:45. > :41:50.It is just a whole weight off your shoulders.

:41:51. > :41:59.What a story. Josh and his dad, Peter, are here with us. You made

:42:00. > :42:06.this film which is great, a great thing to have done. Tell us, before

:42:07. > :42:13.you told your dad, you had to do lots of things to... Was it making

:42:14. > :42:18.yourself feel safe? I was worried about bad things happening to me and

:42:19. > :42:25.my family and I did those to prevent those things happening. Getting more

:42:26. > :42:29.and more repetitive? Yeah, became very repetitive to the point it was

:42:30. > :42:34.taking me half an hour to get out of bed in the morning. Looking at

:42:35. > :42:40.Josh's behaviour, once spoke to you about it, was it a relief? Had you

:42:41. > :42:43.noticed things? That is true. I noticed Josh being different about

:42:44. > :42:49.two weeks before he spoke to me. When he told me about it, it had

:42:50. > :42:54.been building up with him for 18 months, progressively getting worse.

:42:55. > :42:57.For both of us, when we realised his behaviour was compulsive and Josh

:42:58. > :43:01.realised he was not alone, it was not just him going through it, there

:43:02. > :43:06.was an immediate relief for both of us. I am sure it was. Quite a

:43:07. > :43:09.moment, Josh, you were probably thinking you wanted to talk, but

:43:10. > :43:15.quite a moment to take the step to talk. How did you get to that point?

:43:16. > :43:21.I was so stressed I couldn't handle it on my own. I knew... I thought I

:43:22. > :43:27.was going insane. I thought I would go insane if I kept it to myself. I

:43:28. > :43:33.knew I had to tell someone. Were you surprised by your dad's reaction?

:43:34. > :43:37.Yes and no. I was worried no one would understand because I did not

:43:38. > :43:42.realise I had OCD. I was worried if I told someone and no one understood

:43:43. > :43:45.I would be shut out and on my own. My dad started to understand and he

:43:46. > :43:52.was brilliant. A weight off my shoulders. Really positive to tell

:43:53. > :43:54.your dad. How have you reacted and how do you try to help Josh? He has

:43:55. > :43:59.been having treatment which has really helped. We are lucky that

:44:00. > :44:03.over the course of two years, you would not know Josh had OCD. The

:44:04. > :44:10.first thing was to recognise that it was a compulsion. We were very lucky

:44:11. > :44:15.we were able to get Josh in for treatment very quickly. I think that

:44:16. > :44:20.is the key. That early intervention really helps. Josh suffered for a

:44:21. > :44:24.long time by himself. Once he started talking and getting

:44:25. > :44:27.treatment, you could see things progressively improving, the

:44:28. > :44:32.strategies, ways to deal with it. It makes a big difference for a lot of

:44:33. > :44:34.mental health issues. In terms of the coping mechanisms, one of the

:44:35. > :44:39.things you used to do was the bedroom light on and off. What

:44:40. > :44:42.process do you now go through to stop you doing that? It is like a

:44:43. > :44:49.voice inside my head constantly telling me to do these things. I

:44:50. > :44:54.learned from the treatment that if you ignore it and you leave it, the

:44:55. > :44:58.feeling and stress of wanting to do it will go down. The more I left

:44:59. > :45:02.things over the years, it takes a minute for me for the stress to go

:45:03. > :45:07.down. You have to consciously think, I am just going to put that thought

:45:08. > :45:11.away for a moment and do something else and it genuinely can make it

:45:12. > :45:18.disappear? Every time now. That is amazing. What is your advice as a

:45:19. > :45:23.parent to other parents? In some ways you are really lucky Josh was

:45:24. > :45:28.able to tell you. Yes, I think that is the big thing. For me, it is

:45:29. > :45:33.counter-productive because at first I felt I was at fault. It is

:45:34. > :45:37.counter-productive blaming yourself. It could happen to anyone. There is

:45:38. > :45:42.no fixed set of circumstances. Although it is very difficult, you

:45:43. > :45:48.have got to be there, sometimes just being a parent and giving a hug, you

:45:49. > :45:52.cannot necessarily fix things but you can be there for your child. If

:45:53. > :45:58.you are able to get professionals to help you and you listen to them, you

:45:59. > :46:05.find they do not have a quick fix but as Josh was explaining, the more

:46:06. > :46:10.they tell you and it comes to fruition, it is a progressive

:46:11. > :46:15.process... You would echo that, Josh? There might be young people

:46:16. > :46:20.and parents watching this. What would be your message to them this

:46:21. > :46:24.morning? My message would be to talk because talking is the best thing to

:46:25. > :46:28.do with every mental health problem. When you share things, they are a

:46:29. > :46:33.lot less hard to handle. Able to talk about it, able to tell someone

:46:34. > :46:36.how you feel and then they can tell you what they think about it and it

:46:37. > :46:42.generally just makes you feel better. As it made school easier?

:46:43. > :46:43.You were talking about people not understanding the things you are

:46:44. > :46:54.going through. School is easier, because I found it

:46:55. > :47:00.hard to write and do my work. The good thing about my school is there

:47:01. > :47:05.is lots of assemblies and talk about mental health problems, so there is

:47:06. > :47:09.great awareness and support. You have done a film specifically, the

:47:10. > :47:16.consumer and to help other people in similar situations. From your point

:47:17. > :47:24.of view, you were lucky to get the help at that time. Lucky to get it

:47:25. > :47:29.so quickly. You have helped him, by getting him more time to get to

:47:30. > :47:35.school? There are different techniques to help manage it and get

:47:36. > :47:39.things better. The pastoral support at the school was good, but we spoke

:47:40. > :47:44.to individual teachers, and once they were aware, they could

:47:45. > :47:49.accommodate his problems and make allowances, and as they went away,

:47:50. > :47:53.he could start being normal at school again. School is very

:47:54. > :47:58.important, and his school have been very supportive. I am sure there are

:47:59. > :48:02.lots of people who will be watching you and thinking, maybe there is

:48:03. > :48:06.something I need to talk about as well. The Newsround special is

:48:07. > :48:13.online and on TV as well. Inside my Head - A Newsround Special

:48:14. > :48:16.will air at 4:25pm on CBBC and you can also watch it

:48:17. > :48:19.on the Newsround website, where there's lots more information

:48:20. > :48:23.about mental health for youngsters. Here's Mat with a look

:48:24. > :48:39.at this morning's weather. On the rooftop here the sun is out

:48:40. > :48:43.again. It is not the same everywhere, we have dense fog

:48:44. > :48:48.through eastern Wales, Central and eastern England. It will slow down

:48:49. > :48:51.your journey to work. Things will improve, most will have a dry day

:48:52. > :48:59.with sunny spells. A key changes compared with recent days, a few

:49:00. > :49:03.showers. They will develop gradually across western areas through the

:49:04. > :49:07.day. Most will stay dry. Whilst we have the great conditions across

:49:08. > :49:21.East Wales, central and eastern England, most will brighten up.

:49:22. > :49:33.Parts of north-east England and eastern Scotland have the clearest

:49:34. > :49:37.skies. A chance of a few showers through the Midlands. Could be heavy

:49:38. > :49:43.and thundery. They will work their way north. North-west England could

:49:44. > :49:49.see if you develop as well. Scotland is largely dry away from the Borders

:49:50. > :49:53.and Dumfries Galloway. A lot more cloud in the east, brightest in the

:49:54. > :49:59.West. The Northern Ireland wet spell comes into the afternoon. Either

:50:00. > :50:03.side of that, sunny spells. There will be Sunshine across Wales at

:50:04. > :50:08.times, but generally more clout around, and it will threaten a

:50:09. > :50:12.shower or two. The temperatures in the west down on the past few days,

:50:13. > :50:17.but the south-east, not a bad day at all. Tonight will not be as cold as

:50:18. > :50:22.it has been, because we have more clout. The clout will bring rain in

:50:23. > :50:31.places. Colder spots across the north-east of Scotland. It should be

:50:32. > :50:34.a dry day on Wednesday, with sunshine. Try for just about all

:50:35. > :50:42.across East Anglia and the south-east, but with more cloud than

:50:43. > :50:48.today. There will be some rain here and there, most likely to see rain

:50:49. > :50:53.on Wednesday on the hills of Wales, the north-west of England and the

:50:54. > :50:56.South West of Scotland. The temperatures hold up enough, thanks

:50:57. > :51:01.to be southerly flow, and the wind will strengthen into Thursday,

:51:02. > :51:05.bringing rain across northern and western areas, so a greater chance

:51:06. > :51:09.of getting wet for some of you. Across parts of the Midlands and

:51:10. > :51:18.eastern England, it will be dry and sunny about Wednesday, and warm. It

:51:19. > :51:23.will be the warmest day of the week, before things turn colder by the

:51:24. > :51:31.weekend. Enjoy, and I will see you tomorrow.

:51:32. > :51:34.Immigration was one of the biggest issues during the EU

:51:35. > :51:36.referendum campaign, and a day before Theresa May starts

:51:37. > :51:39.the process of Brexit, Steph's taking a look

:51:40. > :51:46.She's on the A50, talking about Article 50 at a hotel

:51:47. > :52:04.Good morning. Breakfast time here, people getting their sustenance for

:52:05. > :52:08.the day. We are here on the road trip, looking at what it will mean

:52:09. > :52:12.for businesses when we leave the European Union.

:52:13. > :52:19.It has gone quiet in here, you lot were gossiping earlier! We are

:52:20. > :52:25.looking at what impact it could have. For the hospitality sector,

:52:26. > :52:29.they are concerned about what it will mean for getting the right

:52:30. > :52:34.people into the jobs they need them for, because of any rule changes we

:52:35. > :52:39.could see with immigration. 700,000 people employed in jobs like this

:52:40. > :52:46.hotel, restaurants and bars, EU nationals working in the UK. You

:52:47. > :52:51.from Poland, you have been in the UK for 12 years, and Brexit is now

:52:52. > :52:58.something you are thinking a lot about. Absolutely, there are a few

:52:59. > :53:03.concerns, I have been living here for 12 years, in hospitality for 11

:53:04. > :53:08.years. I am integrated with English people, I do not just socialise with

:53:09. > :53:12.Polish. The concerns they have with regards to Brexit are, what are the

:53:13. > :53:20.further steps for people like myself? I do not have a British

:53:21. > :53:30.passport. The other concern is, what would happen to my family visiting

:53:31. > :53:35.or me going over to Poland? A few concerns, and I do not think it was

:53:36. > :53:42.clear after Brexit. So hopefully article 50 will clear that a bit.

:53:43. > :53:47.There is a lot to be decided. You have a lot of employees who are in a

:53:48. > :53:51.similar situation. That's right. We have 25% of the workforce here who

:53:52. > :53:58.are EU nationals, which is fairly representative across Best Western.

:53:59. > :54:04.We have 4.5 million people in our industry, lots of EU nationals, and

:54:05. > :54:11.they thinking, what happens next? Tomorrow will be an important

:54:12. > :54:17.announcement. We want the road map to Brexit, to understand how it will

:54:18. > :54:22.impact EU nationals, we want to take this industry seriously, it tips in

:54:23. > :54:27.10% of our GDP, so it is important that we understand the impact it

:54:28. > :54:32.will have, and we need to address the competitiveness of hospitality

:54:33. > :54:36.in Great Britain. Our industry has a high amount of VAT on tourism, one

:54:37. > :54:43.of only three countries which does not have a differential against the

:54:44. > :54:45.rest of Europe. That makes us uncompetitive against our European

:54:46. > :54:52.neighbours. There is deafening support to reduce VAT on tourism to

:54:53. > :54:57.5%, because it will encourage people to visit, and encourage more people

:54:58. > :55:01.to work in our industry. It will put ?4 billion of money into the

:55:02. > :55:07.Treasury over the next ten years. Coming back to the issue of getting

:55:08. > :55:10.the right staff, 15% of the workforce is EU nationals, is it not

:55:11. > :55:14.a case that you can fill them with people here? That is one of the

:55:15. > :55:18.comments that came from the reason why people voted to leave the EU,

:55:19. > :55:24.they want more jobs to go to British people. We have 25% of the workforce

:55:25. > :55:29.here that are EU nationals, they do a lot of work in the community, they

:55:30. > :55:33.reach out to local colleges, schools, but they cannot get British

:55:34. > :55:38.workers to interview for key roles. That is not just here, we have the

:55:39. > :55:45.same issue in a number of other hotels. Our London hotel, 95 of the

:55:46. > :55:49.works's 95% of the workforce are EU nationals. There is a perception

:55:50. > :55:56.problem. We have done our own research, 42% of parents discourage

:55:57. > :56:02.their parents from the -- working in the industry. Is that because it is

:56:03. > :56:06.long hours and low pay? Pay has been taken out of the equation because of

:56:07. > :56:12.the national living wage. Work is hard nowadays, everybody but a lot

:56:13. > :56:20.in, but you put more in, it is massively rewarding. You are a

:56:21. > :56:25.lawyer, you have a lot of businesses coming to you, asking questions,

:56:26. > :56:31.tell others about that. We have a number of clients in a variety of

:56:32. > :56:36.different sectors, hospitality, retail, construction, etc, and they

:56:37. > :56:40.are facing similar issues. They are concerned about what we do about our

:56:41. > :56:47.existing workers in the UK, what their status will be, and what we do

:56:48. > :56:49.about future recruitment. There is generally a distinction between how

:56:50. > :56:57.easy it could be to bring in skilled people or lower skilled work, and if

:56:58. > :57:00.we have a model similar to that we have for non-Europeans for European

:57:01. > :57:05.nationals, that does not provide a route for lower skilled workers.

:57:06. > :57:10.What are the options? We do not know what we will end up with, there are

:57:11. > :57:17.a variety of different options. You could extend the current system for

:57:18. > :57:23.non-EU nationals, most jobs would have to pay ?30,000, and you have to

:57:24. > :57:27.show you cannot fill the role of a settled worker in the UK, which is

:57:28. > :57:34.an expensive system, or something more bespoke, suggestions for work

:57:35. > :57:40.permits, regional visas, industry specific visas, and some sort of

:57:41. > :57:46.visual -- preferential system. We have to be mindful of the situation

:57:47. > :57:50.with British nationals elsewhere. It will be about two years in which we

:57:51. > :57:55.will negotiate the trade negotiations on all of these things

:57:56. > :58:03.that need to be decided. We are done here, I will be at a pottery in

:58:04. > :58:05.Stoke-on-Trent tomorrow. That sign, which is following me around, will

:58:06. > :58:12.be with us in the potteries. More from me then. To get your breakfast,

:58:13. > :58:14.I feel guilty! You need to on making them bigger!

:58:15. > :58:20.All paid for by us! Let us take you into space,

:58:21. > :58:23.to the very edge of the solar system, where the vast expanses

:58:24. > :58:33.of darkness could be Is there, somewhere out there,

:58:34. > :58:41.a planet circling our sun which has Today, scientists are asking

:58:42. > :58:43.amateur stargazers to help More on how you can get

:58:44. > :58:48.involved in a moment, but first, let's have a look

:58:49. > :00:09.at what we know so far. I am finding this absolutely

:00:10. > :00:12.fantastic. I love talking about space.

:00:13. > :00:14.Joining us now is Carole Mundell, professor in extragalactic astronomy

:00:15. > :00:27.Good morning. The idea is, there is this planet out there that nobody

:00:28. > :00:32.has seen yet? We have seen what we think is the gravitational effect of

:00:33. > :00:37.a planet that is probably about ten times more massive than the Earth

:00:38. > :00:41.and maybe four times the size of the Earth. We see the effect on the

:00:42. > :00:46.other bodies in the outer solar system. It has a gravitational pull.

:00:47. > :00:53.Theorists have calculator. Orbits and added up what should be out

:00:54. > :01:00.there, there is a bit that is missing. If it is so big, why don't

:01:01. > :01:09.we know where it it is? It is very far away, in the region of the solar

:01:10. > :01:15.system where Pluto is. To give you some sense of distance, if London

:01:16. > :01:20.was whether Sun is, the Earth would be roughly the North circular Road,

:01:21. > :01:25.Brent 's cross, Salford would be out where Pluto is, in the darker

:01:26. > :01:29.regions of the solar system. This hidden planet is out in the

:01:30. > :01:33.mid-Atlantic or western United States. It is much further away and

:01:34. > :01:38.much harder to see and it is very cool and it would not be shining

:01:39. > :01:43.like a star. Planets have to reflect light. Trying to get members of the

:01:44. > :01:51.public involved in the search for the planet. How? There is a

:01:52. > :01:55.telescope in Australia, 1.3 metres in size, a robotic telescope, and it

:01:56. > :02:02.has been taking photographs of the southern sky. There are hundreds and

:02:03. > :02:06.thousands of photographs. The idea is to get anybody who has a

:02:07. > :02:08.computer, access to the internet, they can look through the

:02:09. > :02:13.photographs. The idea is you can look through and click on it if you

:02:14. > :02:16.see something and all of the information goes back to the

:02:17. > :02:21.astronomers. How will you know if it is new? There will be aged oil. You

:02:22. > :02:32.are just comparing one photograph to another, like spot the difference.

:02:33. > :02:37.-- there will be a tutorial. This is very exciting. What a moment it

:02:38. > :02:44.would be if you find the planet. You can name the planet. You can help

:02:45. > :02:55.name the planet. There are very clear rules. We will not have Planet

:02:56. > :03:01.McPlanetface unfortunately. There will be an international vote as

:03:02. > :03:05.well. I am interested that given the age of technology we live in, there

:03:06. > :03:09.is not a piece of technology that can do it better than the human eye.

:03:10. > :03:15.There is. We look for new black holes in the universe and we have

:03:16. > :03:21.software that looks through the photographs, but the eye is much

:03:22. > :03:24.more sensitive than software. If you asked software to go down to the

:03:25. > :03:31.base level of the photograph, you will get lots of false positives. We

:03:32. > :03:35.can go down automatically to a certain level, a bit like slicing

:03:36. > :03:41.down through an iceberg, but when you get to the bottom, the eye is

:03:42. > :03:45.much more sensitive. It is better to get maybe millions of people doing

:03:46. > :03:52.this. You get duplication and a bit of a sanity check. Could they be a

:03:53. > :03:56.planet ten, planet 11? This is what is so exciting, we are just having a

:03:57. > :03:59.new view of the solar system and scientifically it is very important

:04:00. > :04:06.to find these bodies because it will give us a completely new idea about

:04:07. > :04:11.how the solar system formed. Is this a good way for people like me or

:04:12. > :04:16.children to get involved and start being part of an experiment? It is

:04:17. > :04:21.great. We call it citizen science. The general public can be involved

:04:22. > :04:27.in professional level astrophysics. It is really exciting. Astronomy.

:04:28. > :04:36.Don't make the astrology mistake. Sorry about that! Fascinating.

:04:37. > :04:37.People can start now? Stargazing Live will give them the information.

:04:38. > :04:41.Exciting stuff. You can find out more by watching

:04:42. > :04:48.BBC Two's Stargazing Live, It is live from the stroller. Is

:04:49. > :04:54.that the same place where the massive telescope is? Ashley Cribb

:04:55. > :05:00.from Australia. -- it is live from Australia. It is almost like it is

:05:01. > :05:03.planned! Thank you so much. Lovely to see you, as always.

:05:04. > :05:05.In a moment, we'll be talking food and family

:05:06. > :05:10.He developed a love of gardening as a young boy in foster care

:05:11. > :05:12.but would often spend time on his allotment wanting to know

:05:13. > :05:16.Before we hear his story, it's time for a last

:05:17. > :05:18.look at the headlines where you are this morning.

:05:19. > :07:01.For now, enjoy the rest of your morning.

:07:02. > :07:06.As a young boy in care, Allan Jenkins was given his

:07:07. > :07:08.first packet of seeds by his foster father.

:07:09. > :07:11.He's been hooked on gardening ever since and he's now the editor

:07:12. > :07:19.But unanswered questions about his past inspired him

:07:20. > :07:22.to discover the truth about his parents and to find out

:07:23. > :07:23.what happened to his brother, Christopher.

:07:24. > :07:26.The answers are in his memoir Plot 29 and Allan is with us now.

:07:27. > :07:35.Lovely to have you on the programme. Can you explain the significance of

:07:36. > :07:43.Plot 29? Plot 29, the significance is these flowers, nasturtiums. When

:07:44. > :07:46.I went to live with Dudley and Lillian, they gave me a small packet

:07:47. > :07:52.of seeds and it was these flowers and I grew them and they came up and

:07:53. > :07:58.it was magic. I was hooked. Plot 29 is a small allotment I share with

:07:59. > :08:01.Mary in London and it is a place where we grow things and I still

:08:02. > :08:07.grow these and I also grow marigolds, my foster parents gave

:08:08. > :08:15.those two Christopher, my brother. Somehow I still grow them now. He

:08:16. > :08:20.started a journey which has taken you down roots you never could have

:08:21. > :08:23.expected. Explain why you wanted to start that journey because there are

:08:24. > :08:28.lots of things you did not know about your background. To some

:08:29. > :08:33.extent, I wanted to write something about the garden and I thought it

:08:34. > :08:38.would be a book dedicated to Dudley, an old man grows food and flowers

:08:39. > :08:42.because they kindly old man gave him fruit and flowers. Your foster

:08:43. > :08:48.father. Christopher, my brother, he recently died. I am a journalist, I

:08:49. > :08:55.started to dig in, unearthed my past. I got a Freedom of Information

:08:56. > :08:59.request, this box of my life suddenly appeared in the post. It is

:09:00. > :09:04.ten years of everything ever said about you, written about you. All of

:09:05. > :09:10.the unguarded comments. They were never to be read. That slightly

:09:11. > :09:14.turned the book into another book because I started to investigate and

:09:15. > :09:19.I found out some things that were difficult. But all the time, I could

:09:20. > :09:27.go to the allotment, which sounds mad, you could go there and you

:09:28. > :09:31.could just process it in a way. It is a nice place. I do not just go

:09:32. > :09:37.there for therapy. I grow really nice things. There is a joy to it.

:09:38. > :09:41.You say yourself in some ways psychoanalysts would say you are a

:09:42. > :09:46.carer because you like to nurture things. Do you think that is what

:09:47. > :09:55.you were trying to do with your brother as well? One of the records

:09:56. > :10:01.from the foster home, my brother was older than me, he was smaller, and

:10:02. > :10:08.basically the book is a love letter with leaves and flowers and it is

:10:09. > :10:11.about dealing with Christopher. That is me on the right. I was born

:10:12. > :10:18.lucky. Christopher was born less lucky. It was how I have processed

:10:19. > :10:23.it. He died not long ago. I had not realised how much I had not dealt

:10:24. > :10:27.with it, I think. By looking through the past and looking through our

:10:28. > :10:33.story, I could tell something of our story. What about your biological

:10:34. > :10:39.parents? What did you find out? I found out that basically Lillian and

:10:40. > :10:46.Dudley were my mum and dad. It was that. I had a mother and I had a

:10:47. > :10:49.father. I am a great believer in parenting. I think in the end

:10:50. > :10:53.truthfully the people who look after you when you are unwell, get you off

:10:54. > :10:59.to school, make sure you are warm and dry, they are your parents. You

:11:00. > :11:05.may have wanted things to be different at sometimes, but there is

:11:06. > :11:10.a lot to be said for safety. We were safe there. We lived in this magical

:11:11. > :11:16.little place by a river and we grew up and we were lucky and we grew

:11:17. > :11:20.nasturtiums. So many people will echo your feelings, gardens are very

:11:21. > :11:27.nurturing places. I grow only from seed. I had not realised. Now I

:11:28. > :11:31.think it is probably because there is the hopelessness and helplessness

:11:32. > :11:35.of seeds. I realised the book would be different when I wrote the fourth

:11:36. > :11:41.paragraph. I said, I think I learnt to love from seed. I was looking

:11:42. > :11:46.after tiny helpless things. Perhaps if I spend a lot of money on

:11:47. > :11:49.analysis, which I have, it might hold you looking after hopeless,

:11:50. > :11:56.helpless little things, it was somehow trying to correct some of

:11:57. > :12:00.the past. -- it might have told you. You also get lovely flowers and

:12:01. > :12:04.food. Quite a process writing the book. It started as one thing and

:12:05. > :12:08.developed and here you are talking about how you not discovered things

:12:09. > :12:11.but you have learnt things about the way you process thoughts and deal

:12:12. > :12:18.with other people as well, relationships. Yes. I think it is...

:12:19. > :12:24.What it does is it gives you quite. I can go to this piece of land and I

:12:25. > :12:29.realise that sometimes whatever mood I am in when I go there, sometimes

:12:30. > :12:35.it is inconvenient, I have to water, Mary is not well, I go there and I

:12:36. > :12:38.leave there more peaceful. There is something to be said for being

:12:39. > :12:44.peaceful. And it is a beautiful place. I think sometimes when you

:12:45. > :12:48.dig into something... I do not think knowledge is peaceful, I do not

:12:49. > :12:56.believe in catharsis, but I do believe in tenderness and kindness

:12:57. > :12:59.and looking after things. Are they your favourite, nasturtiums? My wife

:13:00. > :13:06.hates them because they get blackfly. I have never been allowed

:13:07. > :13:09.to have them at home. I was growing marigolds and nasturtiums and I had

:13:10. > :13:15.not thought about why. They are jolly. Give a kid a packet of seeds

:13:16. > :13:20.and make sure they seeds which just grow and he will be happy and look

:13:21. > :13:24.at it and think, there is magic here. They little piece of Brown

:13:25. > :13:31.soil and now there is colour. Wonderful. It is a great book Plot

:13:32. > :13:38.29, it is out now. 'there are more people over the age

:13:39. > :13:45.of 60 than under 16.' They've got some amazing volunteers

:13:46. > :13:51.in their 80s and 90s. 'But what does growing older mean

:13:52. > :13:54.for you?' Difficult. Sometimes more

:13:55. > :13:58.than other times.
