:00:00. > :00:07.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent.

:00:08. > :00:09.After the starting gun is fired for Brexit -

:00:10. > :00:12.the process to take power back from Brussels begins today.

:00:13. > :00:16.The government will set out plans to convert thousands of EU rules

:00:17. > :00:23.into British law as it publishes details of the Great Repeal Bill.

:00:24. > :00:31.It will be a different relationship but I think it will have the same

:00:32. > :00:41.benefits in terms of access to free trade.

:00:42. > :00:44.Good morning, it's Thursday the 30th of March.

:00:45. > :00:50.Rescue crews search for a helicopter with five people on board missing

:00:51. > :00:55.Trying to tackle obesity - official limits are published

:00:56. > :01:01.for the amount of sugar that should be in everyday foods.

:01:02. > :01:03.A group of Deliveroo couriers is planning legal action

:01:04. > :01:06.against the food delivery firm to claim better employment rights.

:01:07. > :01:09.I'll be looking at what impact it could have.

:01:10. > :01:11.In sport - mixed emotions for runner Jo Pavey

:01:12. > :01:14.Ten years after finishing fourth at the World Championships,

:01:15. > :01:16.she's to receive a bronze medal after an athlete

:01:17. > :01:35.National kitchens was set up 100 years ago when World War I. The idea

:01:36. > :01:38.was you got a decent meal for a small price. Should it be brought

:01:39. > :01:40.back, there are some who think it should I will speak to them today.

:01:41. > :01:43.And Matt is in Bedfordshire with the forecast this morning.

:01:44. > :01:48.I am talking about the results of the big garden Bird watch. News on

:01:49. > :01:53.that and a day ahead coming up. Plans to make Britain

:01:54. > :01:57.an 'independent, sovereign' nation will be published this morning -

:01:58. > :02:02.just one day after Theresa May The Great Repeal Bill will outline

:02:03. > :02:07.how the government plans to repatriate more than 40

:02:08. > :02:09.years worth of powers from the European Union and convert

:02:10. > :02:12.thousands of EU rules Yesterday, Theresa May described

:02:13. > :02:15.Britain's departure from the EU as "an historic moment

:02:16. > :02:20.from which there can be Cometh the hour, cometh the moment,

:02:21. > :02:27.in Westminster, Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff -

:02:28. > :02:31.the exact moment the UK took This is an historic moment

:02:32. > :02:39.from which there is no turning back. The letter, hand-delivered

:02:40. > :02:42.by our man in Brussels, telling the EU we

:02:43. > :02:46.are on our way out. Written in a deliberately

:02:47. > :02:48.conciliatory tone. but a hint, too, of the steel

:02:49. > :02:57.and Mrs May's stands. No overt threat to walk away,

:02:58. > :02:59.but a serious warning, as she wrote "a failure

:03:00. > :03:02.to reach an agreement would mean our cooperation

:03:03. > :03:04.in the fight against crime We must therefore work hard

:03:05. > :03:09.to avoid that outcome." A sentence that certainly

:03:10. > :03:15.raised eyebrows, here, But despite all the difficulties,

:03:16. > :03:19.Mrs May promised our relationship with the rest

:03:20. > :03:21.of the continent will be just What we are both looking

:03:22. > :03:26.for is that conferences free trade agreement, which gives that

:03:27. > :03:32.ability to trade freely And for them, and for

:03:33. > :03:36.them to trade with us. It would be a different

:03:37. > :03:39.relationship, but I think it can have the same benefits in terms

:03:40. > :03:43.of that free access to trade. Labour insisted it would hold

:03:44. > :03:45.the government to account More than ever, Britain needs

:03:46. > :03:53.a government that will deliver for the whole country,

:03:54. > :03:55.not just the few. And that is the ultimate

:03:56. > :03:58.test of the Brexit deal that the Prime Minister

:03:59. > :03:59.must now secure. Two years to untangle

:04:00. > :04:03.a 40 year relationship, to undertake all the interwoven

:04:04. > :04:06.regulations and legislation. That task starts today,

:04:07. > :04:09.with more detail from the government on how it plans to bring EU powers

:04:10. > :04:12.back to Westminster. Eleanor Garnier, BBC

:04:13. > :04:19.News, Westminster. Our political correspondent

:04:20. > :04:23.Iain Watson is in Westminster. What can we expect on this first

:04:24. > :04:36.full day after the Article 50 We need to understand a lot of new

:04:37. > :04:44.terminology, don't we? Can you talk this through the bill? We will get

:04:45. > :04:48.more details of the bill today. When you think of a repeal bill it

:04:49. > :04:52.suggests a reversal or a cancellation but in fact what this

:04:53. > :04:56.bill will do is take all the existing rules and regulations and

:04:57. > :05:02.put them into British law. The government says that will give

:05:03. > :05:05.businesses certainty and will make a trading relationship easier although

:05:06. > :05:08.that will be down to future governments to decide to change any

:05:09. > :05:11.rules and regulations. Labour has complained that some of the

:05:12. > :05:15.regulation changes will be done without full Parliament scrutiny. If

:05:16. > :05:21.you are looking at any of the newspapers this morning you will see

:05:22. > :05:30.there is a backlash over the warning in the letter to the European

:05:31. > :05:34.Council saying that the issue of trade and security cooperation in

:05:35. > :05:40.the same paragraph, which has been construed as a threat. The

:05:41. > :05:43.government today has said they have not been threatening although we do

:05:44. > :05:49.expect tough talking from both sides. A reminder, after 830 we will

:05:50. > :05:52.speak to David Davis. The UK coastguard has

:05:53. > :05:54.suspended its search for a private helicopter which went missing over

:05:55. > :05:58.Caernarfon Bay in north Five people were onboard

:05:59. > :06:04.the aircraft, which was en route to Dublin from Milton Keynes

:06:05. > :06:06.when it disappeared. Our reporter Holly Hamilton

:06:07. > :06:19.is in Caernarfon this morning. As you say this was a privately

:06:20. > :06:25.owned aircraft with five people on board. It was en route to Dublin. We

:06:26. > :06:30.know it left Milton Keynes Dons before midday yesterday. It had been

:06:31. > :06:36.scheduled to stop here at however it never arrived. No sightings or radio

:06:37. > :06:43.contact meant that the coastguard had to be informed. The searcher

:06:44. > :06:48.operation began shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon. That

:06:49. > :06:52.involved to coastguard helicopters which searched the area between

:06:53. > :06:57.North Wales and Dublin as well is on land unfortunately they were forced

:06:58. > :07:03.to stop for the night due to poor visibility and weather conditions.

:07:04. > :07:12.North Wales police and took over the search and they have been focusing

:07:13. > :07:20.their chert search on Snowdonia. Now there were five people on board, it

:07:21. > :07:25.was a privately owned helicopter and members of the public are now being

:07:26. > :07:29.asked to get in touch if they saw that read helicopter yesterday

:07:30. > :07:33.afternoon. The search operation is supposed to continue here this

:07:34. > :07:39.morning but weather conditions have not improved. It is extremely wet

:07:40. > :07:46.and windy but we are hoping to get an update shortly and in a situation

:07:47. > :07:51.like that they will hope for search conditions to proceed as quickly as

:07:52. > :07:53.possible. We will bring you up today whenever we hear what the latest

:07:54. > :07:55.situation is. A federal judge in the US state

:07:56. > :07:58.of Hawaii has extended the suspension of President Trump's

:07:59. > :08:01.travel ban for an indefinite period. It means Mr Trump will be barred

:08:02. > :08:04.from enforcing his revised ban on six mostly Muslim states

:08:05. > :08:09.while it is contested in court. New guidelines for the amount

:08:10. > :08:12.of sugar that should be in everyday foods - from breakfast

:08:13. > :08:14.cereals to chocolate bars - have been published

:08:15. > :08:16.by Public Health England. The aim is to cut the amount

:08:17. > :08:20.of sugar children consume by 20% Our Health correspondent,

:08:21. > :08:32.Jane Dreaper has the details. It is tempting stuff. But eating too

:08:33. > :08:36.much sugar is rotting children's teeth and fuelling obesity. One

:08:37. > :08:41.third of children are overweight or obese when they leave school. Now as

:08:42. > :08:44.part of government plans to tackle the problem, the food industry is

:08:45. > :08:49.given new limits for how much sugar should be in nine popular foods.

:08:50. > :08:53.Companies are being urged to reformulate their product so that

:08:54. > :09:02.they contain less sugar, or to make them smaller. The aim is for the U K

:09:03. > :09:06.usual diet to contain much less sugar by 2020. We expect people to

:09:07. > :09:10.see over the time smaller cakes, biscuits, chocolate bars. Especially

:09:11. > :09:14.when they eat at home, in family restaurants and so on. We also

:09:15. > :09:17.expect that people will not notice the changes because we know if

:09:18. > :09:22.changes are gradually made, gradually we don't notice them.

:09:23. > :09:26.Bread is now 40% saltier than it was ten years ago and I bet you have not

:09:27. > :09:31.noticed. Public health England says these guidelines lead the world

:09:32. > :09:37.although nine foods still account for less than 9% of children's sugar

:09:38. > :09:40.intake. Health campaigners say the plans are bald but it is important

:09:41. > :09:43.to keep up pressure on food companies. There will be a progress

:09:44. > :09:59.report in one years time. Companies Amber Road will ask

:10:00. > :10:02.technology companies to do more to help against terrorism by focusing

:10:03. > :10:02.on encryption and Terrorists content.

:10:03. > :10:05.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry have released

:10:06. > :10:08.a series of films as part of their 'Heads Together' campaign

:10:09. > :10:10.designed to encourage people to talk about mental health.

:10:11. > :10:13.Andrew Flintoff, Professor Green and Ruby Wax are among celebrities

:10:14. > :10:15.who have been sharing their experiences.

:10:16. > :10:24.The project aims to help end the stigma around mental health.

:10:25. > :10:28.A dog that was left paralysed when she was hit by a car can be

:10:29. > :10:30.taken out for walks again thanks to generous donations

:10:31. > :10:35.Puffy, a Chinese crested powderpuff, is back on the move again thanks

:10:36. > :10:44.Her owners said they were overwhelmed by the generosity

:10:45. > :10:54.and that Puffy loved her new set of wheels.

:10:55. > :11:05.Mobile once again. There you go. It is ten minutes past six and John is

:11:06. > :11:09.here with sport. Yes. Jo Pavey has her hands on a World Championship

:11:10. > :11:15.medal but not in the way you would want to, she finished fourth in the

:11:16. > :11:20.World Championships but an athlete has been retrospectively banned and

:11:21. > :11:26.now she has received the third-place medal. She has had an incredible

:11:27. > :11:30.career but that, I guess, was the major medal missing from her

:11:31. > :11:32.collection she has now received at ten years after the event.

:11:33. > :11:35.Jo Pavey says it's a 'bittersweet' feeling to be awarded

:11:36. > :11:37.a World Championships bronze medal so long after the event.

:11:38. > :11:40.She finished fourth in the 10,000 metres in Japan

:11:41. > :11:42.but Turkey's Elvan Abey-legesse who came second, has been

:11:43. > :11:44.retrospectively disqualified for doping.

:11:45. > :11:51.Pavey is currently preparing to race in next month's London marathon.

:11:52. > :11:54.British number one Johanna Konta is through to the semi finals

:11:55. > :11:56.of the Miami Open for the first time.

:11:57. > :12:00.She came from behind to beat the third seed Simona Halep in three

:12:01. > :12:02.sets to book a place against Venus Williams

:12:03. > :12:05.The Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has dropped

:12:06. > :12:08.the biggest hint that he wants to stay at the club.

:12:09. > :12:11.He's told a paper that he never leaves a job unfinished.

:12:12. > :12:15.He's got the option of taking up a further 12 month contract

:12:16. > :12:21.And there's a big night ahead for Manchester City's Women

:12:22. > :12:25.They take a 1-0 nil lead into their quarter-final second leg

:12:26. > :12:27.at home to Danish side Fortuna Hjorring.

:12:28. > :12:35.City are the only British side left in the competition

:12:36. > :12:38.We look forward to that. Thank you very much.

:12:39. > :12:40.Matt's out enjoying the dawn chorus for us this morning.

:12:41. > :12:55.Good morning. Good morning to you all. We are in Bedfordshire, and the

:12:56. > :13:01.birds are out and singing away. What a perfect day, really, to help

:13:02. > :13:09.reveal the results of the IRS PB big Garden Bird watch. Around 500,000 of

:13:10. > :13:13.you took part, recording over a million herd sightings and the

:13:14. > :13:18.results are amazing. The Robins were movers and shakers seen across the

:13:19. > :13:26.UK. A big side in the number of sightings. We did see a dip in

:13:27. > :13:33.smaller birds like blue chips, etc. They have had a hit from wet weather

:13:34. > :13:42.but the biggest headline of all is about migratory birds seen across

:13:43. > :13:47.the UK. In 11 fold increase for one particular bird, sited across many

:13:48. > :13:50.parts of the UK. We will reveal more from the survey as we go through the

:13:51. > :13:55.rest of this morning. A stunning start here. Let's have a look at the

:13:56. > :13:59.forecast for today. It is warm, which shows that the country is

:14:00. > :14:04.split. We have some fairly mild air today, not as cold as it has been

:14:05. > :14:10.recently but called across eastern areas and in the West we have rain.

:14:11. > :14:16.There will be some rain around. Such to the south-west and eastern parts

:14:17. > :14:21.of Wales, potentially but, essentially, misty damp across

:14:22. > :14:25.western parts of Wales. Breezy as well. Outbreaks of rain across the

:14:26. > :14:31.Isle of Man in two parts of north-west England, Cumbria in

:14:32. > :14:36.particular. It also edges into the fire areas of Scotland. Much of

:14:37. > :14:41.Scotland will start dry and what you will see in the east is that it is

:14:42. > :14:44.not as chilly as it has been recently. Double figure temperatures

:14:45. > :14:48.to start the day after a chilly start yesterday. A couple of spots

:14:49. > :14:52.of rain and the odd shower across parts of East Anglia in the

:14:53. > :14:58.south-east. But if you are short lived, mostly dry with Sunnis bells

:14:59. > :15:03.and it will break through more into the Midlands as we go into the rest

:15:04. > :15:08.of the day. There you will see some of the warm as conditions. Heavy

:15:09. > :15:11.bursts across north-west England into Scotland through the day. This

:15:12. > :15:15.way we see the wettest conditions, even he noticed temperatures up on

:15:16. > :15:20.what we have seen. Bridge in double figures into the team for most, in

:15:21. > :15:25.fact, and we could see high as to the north of London hit around 22 or

:15:26. > :15:34.23 degrees. That's into the 70s, in Fahrenheit. A wild night to come

:15:35. > :15:41.with brain more abundant and the rain starts to edge further east

:15:42. > :15:45.words Lorong. The court might be any means taxes into a close up to

:15:46. > :15:56.Friday. Look at a rain working eastwards, wet conditions, first at

:15:57. > :16:00.north-west England. Most will brighten up through Friday to see

:16:01. > :16:04.sunny spells and, again, to which is still hitting around the mid to high

:16:05. > :16:08.teens in one or two spots. 1819 degrees possible cross East Anglia.

:16:09. > :16:13.Into the weekend, a change on Saturday with showers around, some

:16:14. > :16:16.of which are slow-moving and heavy with paler times. Sunshine as well.

:16:17. > :16:19.Or conditions edging in and that will start us off Chile on Sunday

:16:20. > :16:31.but drier brighter of the two days. It looks lovely in the dark. What

:16:32. > :16:36.time are you expecting a little light? The sun should be up probably

:16:37. > :16:42.in the next half an hour between 6:30am and 7am in the UK this

:16:43. > :16:47.morning. Thank you. You spring some difficult questions sometimes. What

:16:48. > :16:52.time is the sunrise this morning? Good job he knew. Anyway, it is

:16:53. > :16:54.6:16am. You're watching

:16:55. > :16:56.Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning: Plans

:16:57. > :16:59.to repatriate more than 40 years worth of powers from

:17:00. > :17:02.the European Union will begin later this morning,

:17:03. > :17:04.with the publication of a draft And a helicopter with five on board

:17:05. > :17:17.has gone missing in north Wales. Everybody has joined us, Steph and

:17:18. > :17:24.John, good morning, to look at the papers. Shall we look at the papers

:17:25. > :17:29.first of all? The Daily Telegraph, it is bowled on the front, the

:17:30. > :17:35.latter that arrived yesterday. A magnificent moment, the words from

:17:36. > :17:40.Theresa May. Many papers look at the initial reaction to the Brexit

:17:41. > :17:45.countdown beginning. The Sun have picked up on a thread from

:17:46. > :17:50.yesterday, they say, your money or your lives, they say Theresa May is

:17:51. > :17:53.negotiating in terms of offering security, assistance and support a

:17:54. > :18:01.long with other parts of the EU deal. She says she is offering world

:18:02. > :18:05.beating skill on beating terror, although Amber Rudd said that was

:18:06. > :18:10.not connected. That was picked up on the Daily Mail, cheers to a great

:18:11. > :18:17.British future. People mentioning his socks. This suggestion already

:18:18. > :18:23.that, the way the Mail is selling the story, the EU is whaling about

:18:24. > :18:26.the PM's blackmail, related to the suggestion that security is a

:18:27. > :18:31.bargaining chip on the table, and we will speak with David Davis, chief

:18:32. > :18:37.negotiator of this morning. We will ask about the issue. Nigel Farage's

:18:38. > :18:44.socks, red white and blue? That is the one. Steph? I just want to pick

:18:45. > :18:50.up on one story on credit cards because we put ?20 million on credit

:18:51. > :18:54.cards in this country every day and the latest figures - morning,

:18:55. > :19:06.everyone - showing that borrowing has risen at its fastest rate in

:19:07. > :19:10.more than a decade. They say that it grew 9.3%, lots of people wondering

:19:11. > :19:16.why it is happening, because maybe they are putting - taking on more

:19:17. > :19:20.debt, which is interesting given we are driven by consumer spending,

:19:21. > :19:24.people are talking about why the economy is growing even because of

:19:25. > :19:28.the uncertainty of Brexit. It is because people are still confident

:19:29. > :19:35.about shopping. Whether it is their money or not. Yes. John, what have

:19:36. > :19:39.you got? Cristiano Ronaldo has had an airport named after him in the

:19:40. > :19:44.dearer and not only that, there was a golden bust - does it look

:19:45. > :19:53.anything like Cristiano Ronaldo? They haven't got the chiselled jaw.

:19:54. > :19:57.Has he seen it? He has. Maybe he has seen the funny side. I would say

:19:58. > :20:05.that his eyes are too close together. Yes. Is that what is wrong

:20:06. > :20:08.to split his face looks too wide. It must be an awful moment when the

:20:09. > :20:13.honour of having something named after you, and then the moment when

:20:14. > :20:18.you see the - it must be awful. You just have to sort of fake it, oh,

:20:19. > :20:24.excellent, well done, what a fantastic replica. The papers have

:20:25. > :20:31.gone crazy, it isn't the only statutory cause a stir, OK? Diego

:20:32. > :20:35.Maradona in Buenos Aires, look at that, unbelievable, and then who can

:20:36. > :20:42.forget Michael Jackson outside Fulham at Craven Cottage? That was

:20:43. > :20:46.fair for a number of years, and then the football Museum. Funny. The

:20:47. > :20:57.other Cristiano Ronaldo sculpture isn't excellent, is it? Thank you

:20:58. > :20:59.very much. It is 6:20am, you are watching Breakfast on BBC News.

:21:00. > :21:01.Families of prisoners are increasingly being targeted

:21:02. > :21:03.by criminals using extortion and blackmail, according

:21:04. > :21:04.to organisations which support relatives.

:21:05. > :21:07.The former head of the prison service's anti-corruption unit has

:21:08. > :21:09.told Breakfast that families are paying a heavy price

:21:10. > :21:13.In some cases, inmates are threatening to harm people's

:21:14. > :21:15.relatives unless they pay off drug debts.

:21:16. > :21:24.Jayne McCubbin has been to hear one family's story.

:21:25. > :21:31.The latter which arrived at her house spoke of last chances, I am

:21:32. > :21:36.tired of being nice, says its anonymous order. If she didn't pay

:21:37. > :21:40.to clear a drug debt, he would be getting cut to pieces. I was in

:21:41. > :21:44.complete shock. He is going to get done. Straightaway there is panic to

:21:45. > :21:49.get the money and sort it as quickly as possible. The family tell me they

:21:50. > :21:54.had no choice. You knew he had a drug habit? Yes. People watching

:21:55. > :21:59.will think, you shouldn't have paid that. If you were in my position,

:22:00. > :22:03.you would pay it. At the end of the day, if you love someone, you would

:22:04. > :22:06.do that. His mother tells me he wasn't safe and he still isn't. That

:22:07. > :22:12.is why we have protected their anonymity. Beatings, stabbings,

:22:13. > :22:18.black eyes, dislocated jaw, busted nose, you name in, he has had it

:22:19. > :22:22.done. Where is the protection in that? None at all. I reckon he will

:22:23. > :22:26.take his life before long. There is not a day that goes by when I don't

:22:27. > :22:33.think about what is happening to him. Not one. In recent months,

:22:34. > :22:37.mobile phone footage and TV cameras have captured spiralling chaos in

:22:38. > :22:43.prison. The drug problem is well documented. What is less documented

:22:44. > :22:49.is how it is paid for. Who is paying? The families are paying.

:22:50. > :22:54.They are paying a heavy price for the drug problem. This is an

:22:55. > :22:57.illustration. We show the family's interviewed to a former prison

:22:58. > :23:01.governor and one-time head of the Prison Service anticorruption unit.

:23:02. > :23:08.Is it the family's fault? Absolutely not. It is not the fault of the

:23:09. > :23:11.family. The crime here is blackmail, extortion and everything else that

:23:12. > :23:15.goes with fat and the families should not be suffering in this way.

:23:16. > :23:20.We should be protecting prisoners and the community. Is this a wider

:23:21. > :23:24.problem? We have spoken with three support groups which work with the

:23:25. > :23:28.families of prisoners who tell me it is. Those charities told us that

:23:29. > :23:33.they are supporting more families who are the victim of blackmail and

:23:34. > :23:39.extortion. They say the numbers are still small but it is a growing

:23:40. > :23:42.problem. The Ministry of Justice gave us this statement... We take

:23:43. > :23:47.any allegations extremely seriously and always investigate fully. We are

:23:48. > :23:52.taking action to tackle drug abuse in prisons and those found with them

:23:53. > :23:56.can face extra time behind bars. We showed John Podmore this letter from

:23:57. > :24:01.the Prison Service to the family in response to their concerns and it

:24:02. > :24:05.concludes, "The only way to resolve this issue is for your son to stop

:24:06. > :24:12.taking drugs and for you to stop funding his habit." This is saying

:24:13. > :24:18.sorry, not our problem. Sorry, it is. This is extortion, it is

:24:19. > :24:23.blackmail. Yes. You think it is happening to other families? Yes, I

:24:24. > :24:23.do. I know it is happening to other families.

:24:24. > :24:34.I guess, given the subject matter, it is hard to have a sense of the

:24:35. > :24:38.scale of the problem. We don't have official numbers, either, however

:24:39. > :24:41.partners of prisoners, the north-east prisoner support group

:24:42. > :24:45.and the adviser care trust have told us it is emerging on the radar with

:24:46. > :24:49.more people coming to them saying they need help and they have no idea

:24:50. > :24:53.what to do. Pat said they are dealing with a case right now with a

:24:54. > :24:56.mother who was told through social media and tax messages and SnapChat

:24:57. > :25:01.that her son will be killed if she does not put money in bank accounts

:25:02. > :25:03.-- text. Right now she is putting it in bank accounts because she doesn't

:25:04. > :25:10.have the confidence despite assurances that her son will be

:25:11. > :25:14.protected in prison. PACT say it is a symptom of the broader chaos in

:25:15. > :25:21.prisons with 30% less prison officers than we had in 2010. One

:25:22. > :25:24.former prison governor told me this has created a void which is being

:25:25. > :25:28.filled with criminality. Liz Truss will speak later at a conference on

:25:29. > :25:32.the future of prison reform and she has already said and will reiterate

:25:33. > :25:35.that she believes safety and rehabilitation should be at the

:25:36. > :25:40.heart of our Prison Service. These issues are on their radar. There is

:25:41. > :25:45.a recruitment drive right now to hire 2500 more prison officers but

:25:46. > :25:48.there are problems -1, it isn't enough to get back to the figures of

:25:49. > :25:57.2010, and there are more prisoners and back then. And two, as fast as

:25:58. > :26:01.they can recruit officers, and it isn't fast, they are losing them all

:26:02. > :26:02.the time with low staff morale. They are trying to do with it.

:26:03. > :26:04.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:26:05. > :26:07.Still to come this morning: Are smaller chocolate bars

:26:08. > :26:10.the answer to cutting obesity in children?

:26:11. > :26:13.In the next half hour, we'll hear how the food industry

:26:14. > :26:16.is being encouraged to reduce the amount of sugar

:26:17. > :29:40.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:29:41. > :29:49.Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent.

:29:50. > :29:52.We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

:29:53. > :30:04.that conversation changed everything because from that point everything

:30:05. > :30:05.was out in the open. A problem shared

:30:06. > :30:07.is a problem halved. are being encouraged

:30:08. > :30:11.to come together to talk They were the place where

:30:12. > :30:15.a meal cost just a pound. 100 years on from the introduction

:30:16. > :30:17.of National Kitchens, we'll hear from one man

:30:18. > :30:30.hoping to revive them. My dad always used to say that

:30:31. > :30:35.laughter was the best medicine. Which is why we got sick because I

:30:36. > :30:40.nearly died from diphtheria. That, I can't read. Not knock.

:30:41. > :30:42.Biomedical science isn't the most obvious route into stand-up,

:30:43. > :30:44.but it worked for Phoenix Nights' Dave Spikey.

:30:45. > :30:47.After 8:30 he'll be here to tell us about his unusual

:30:48. > :30:52.But now a summary of this morning's main news...

:30:53. > :30:55.Plans to make Britain an 'independent, sovereign' nation

:30:56. > :30:59.will be published this morning - just one day after Theresa May

:31:00. > :31:03.The Great Repeal Bill will outline how the government plans

:31:04. > :31:05.to repatriate more than 40 years worth of powers

:31:06. > :31:15.It intends to convert thousands of EU rules into British law. It is

:31:16. > :31:18.described as one of the largest legislative projects ever undertaken

:31:19. > :31:22.in the UK. In an interview last night the Prime Minister discussed

:31:23. > :31:27.other new trade relationship with the EU may work. What we are both

:31:28. > :31:30.looking for is a conference in free trade agreement which provides an

:31:31. > :31:34.ability to trade freely into the European single market and for them

:31:35. > :31:38.to trade with us. It will be a different relationship but I think

:31:39. > :31:41.it will have the same benefits in term of that free access to trade.

:31:42. > :31:44.A privately-owned helicopter with five people on board has

:31:45. > :31:55.Five people were on board the aircraft which disappeared en route

:31:56. > :32:00.to Dublin. Our reporter is there for us this morning. Good morning. We

:32:01. > :32:06.note the search was suspended overnight. Do you have the latest?

:32:07. > :32:11.As you mentioned it was a privately owned aircraft en route to Dublin.

:32:12. > :32:17.It left Milton Keynes Dons just before midday yesterday morning and

:32:18. > :32:27.had been scheduled to stop here however it never arrived. There were

:32:28. > :32:30.no sightings and no radio contact so the coastguard was informed

:32:31. > :32:36.immediately. Shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon the

:32:37. > :32:41.search began. That operation surged between Dublin and North Wales. As

:32:42. > :32:53.you said they were forced to stop for the night due to poor

:32:54. > :32:56.visibility. North Wales called the in Mountain rescue teams to continue

:32:57. > :33:03.a land-based search in Snowdonia. At the minute we have no details of the

:33:04. > :33:10.five individuals who are on board. This was a privately owned twin

:33:11. > :33:14.engined helicopter and members of the public have been asked to dial

:33:15. > :33:17.999 if they have seen that red helicopter at any point yesterday

:33:18. > :33:24.afternoon. The operation is supposed to be getting under way tomorrow

:33:25. > :33:30.morning. -- this morning. Visibility is not good but in this sort of

:33:31. > :33:37.situation they hope to undertake the search as quickly as possible.

:33:38. > :33:40.A federal judge in the US state of Hawaii has extended

:33:41. > :33:43.the suspension of President Trump's travel ban for an indefinite period.

:33:44. > :33:46.It means Mr Trump will be barred from enforcing his revised ban

:33:47. > :33:49.on six mostly Muslim states while it is contested in court.

:33:50. > :33:52.Public Health England has published guidelines for the amount of sugar

:33:53. > :33:55.that should be in foods, such as breakfast cereals

:33:56. > :33:59.The aim is to reduce the amount of sugar children consume by twenty%

:34:00. > :34:09.People can expect to see a reduction in the size of products. We expect

:34:10. > :34:15.people to see smaller chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits over time.

:34:16. > :34:19.Particularly when they eat away from home, in family restaurants and

:34:20. > :34:25.such. We also expect that people will not notice the changes. Because

:34:26. > :34:29.when changes are made gradually, we do not notice them. Your bread is

:34:30. > :34:31.40% less salty that was ten years ago, are you have not noticed.

:34:32. > :34:34.Senior executives from companies such as Microsoft, Facebook,

:34:35. > :34:36.and Google will meet the Home Secretary later,

:34:37. > :34:38.to discuss ways to tackle extremism online.

:34:39. > :34:41.Amber Rudd will ask them to do more to help counter terrorism

:34:42. > :34:46.by focusing on areas such as extremist content and encryption.

:34:47. > :34:54.Organisers of the Oscars say they will continue to work with PwC

:34:55. > :35:01.despite the mistake which led to the wrong movie being announced as the

:35:02. > :35:06.winner of Best picture. Let's remind ourselves of the moment when

:35:07. > :35:13.Hollywood realised that someone did not follow the script. To prevent it

:35:14. > :35:19.from ever happening again, there will now be a third accountant to

:35:20. > :35:32.check and all electronic devices will be band. It is a simple thing

:35:33. > :35:38.to do, surely? Jo Pavey. I'll will be talking about her. She has won a

:35:39. > :35:44.swathe of medals but the one that has evaded her is an Olympic and

:35:45. > :35:48.World Championship medal. She now finally has a bronze medal, having

:35:49. > :35:53.finished fourth ten years ago. Somebody who finished ahead of her

:35:54. > :35:58.has been banned for doping and she has now retrospectively been

:35:59. > :36:03.upgraded to bronze. Great news that such a strange seeing... Mixed

:36:04. > :36:07.emotions, as you can imagine. And the thing is... You do not get a

:36:08. > :36:12.moment on the podium. She said afterwards that she felt like she

:36:13. > :36:20.let everyone down, of course she didn't. What have you lost in terms

:36:21. > :36:25.of sponsorship and the suchlike? She will burn out of the London marathon

:36:26. > :36:30.with a World Championships medal to her name, after finishing fourth in

:36:31. > :36:33.the 10,000 metres in Sark. Turkey's Elvan Abey-legesse who won

:36:34. > :36:36.the silver has been retrospectively Which means Pavey's

:36:37. > :36:39.been promoted to third. It's her first major global medal

:36:40. > :36:46.having won at Commonwealth Rather bittersweet because when I

:36:47. > :36:51.think back to those World Championships nearly ten years ago I

:36:52. > :36:56.was running as hard as I possibly could. I had got myself into the

:36:57. > :37:03.best shape possible. And instead of it being a moment where I was being

:37:04. > :37:08.thrilled with a medal and being on the podium I was lying on the track

:37:09. > :37:10.totally exhausted and feeling despondent, and frustrated, like I

:37:11. > :37:11.had let everyone down. Johanna Konta's become the first

:37:12. > :37:14.British woman to reach the semi-finals of the Miami Open

:37:15. > :37:17.She came from behind to beat third The Romanian took the first set 6-3

:37:18. > :37:22.but Konta recovered to level in the deciding set,

:37:23. > :37:27.winning 6-2 to earn a place in the last four after two

:37:28. > :37:31.and a half hours on court. Konta will face Venus Williams next

:37:32. > :37:34.after she surprisingly knocked out the world number one

:37:35. > :37:35.Angelique Kerber. beat her in straight sets

:37:36. > :37:47.to book her place in the last four. Rafael Nadal is through to the

:37:48. > :37:50.semifinals in the men's draw. Manchester United striker

:37:51. > :37:52.Zlatan Ibrahimovic has dropped the biggest hint yet that he wants

:37:53. > :37:55.to stay at the club. He's been quoted as saying he 'never

:37:56. > :37:58.leaves a job unfinished'. Ibrahimovic, who's scored 26

:37:59. > :38:00.goals so far this season, has the option of another year

:38:01. > :38:03.on his contract at Old Trafford. Manchester City's Women will be

:38:04. > :38:06.hoping to book their place in the semi-finals of

:38:07. > :38:09.the Champions League this evening. They take a 1-0 lead

:38:10. > :38:11.into their quarter-final second leg at home to Danish side

:38:12. > :38:13.Fortuna Hjorring. This season is City's first

:38:14. > :38:16.in the Champions League and they're the only British side

:38:17. > :38:20.left in the competition. England's leading test match wicket

:38:21. > :38:23.taker James Anderson says he's concerned that the longer form

:38:24. > :38:26.of cricket could be overshadowed by the continuing popularity

:38:27. > :38:28.of the Twenty 20 game. The ECB is planning to introduce

:38:29. > :38:44.a new city-based T20 Hopefully the administrators and the

:38:45. > :38:51.important people upstairs will look at that and see a way of making sure

:38:52. > :38:59.test cricket does not fall away as G20 grows and grows. For me, test

:39:00. > :39:05.cricket is the pinnacle. It is the toughest test of your cricketing

:39:06. > :39:06.skills. For me, I think there is a huge place for it still.

:39:07. > :39:10.And finally, a statue that's been causing a bit of a stir

:39:11. > :39:13.One that Cristiano Ronaldo might not be completely happy with.

:39:14. > :39:16.It was being unveiled at the island of Madeira's international airport,

:39:17. > :39:20.They're renaming it the Cristiano Ronaldo airport

:39:21. > :39:23.and to honour that they presented THIS magnificent bronze bust.

:39:24. > :39:28.Its likeness to the Real Madrid superstar may be a little

:39:29. > :39:36.questionable, but it did bring a smile to his face.

:39:37. > :39:46.He knows, doesn't he? It looks nothing like him. The hero is good.

:39:47. > :39:56.And as the mouth. That one-sided smile. That is quite good. I think

:39:57. > :39:59.it is the eyes. The eyes are wrong. Hair and mouth... Everything else...

:40:00. > :40:00.The face, not so good. At least he was giggling.

:40:01. > :40:03.What are you and your family having for Breakfast this morning?

:40:04. > :40:07.Many of us will opt for sugary cereals and perhaps even add

:40:08. > :40:09.an extra spoonful of the sweet stuff to our food.

:40:10. > :40:14.But in an effort to tackle unhealthy eating amongst children,

:40:15. > :40:16.public health officials have published recommended sugar-limits

:40:17. > :40:20.Let's speak to Tim Rycroft who's Corporate Affairs Director

:40:21. > :40:37.Good morning, Tim. A very ambitious new idea from the government. Can I

:40:38. > :40:41.quote what they say? They suggest that we should aim to reduce sugar,

:40:42. > :40:50.our intake, by 20% within the next three years. Very ambitious. I think

:40:51. > :40:52.it will make us a world leader in this kind of voluntary sugar

:40:53. > :41:00.reduction programme. The industry, it will be tough, it is corrupted,

:41:01. > :41:07.the industry is up to the challenge. You set an interesting word.

:41:08. > :41:12.Voluntary sugar production. How keen that will suit manufacturers really

:41:13. > :41:14.be? We see manufacturers coming forward with new products and

:41:15. > :41:19.innovations to provide healthier options. This is someone that has

:41:20. > :41:22.gone on for many years, as your previous interview said. We have

:41:23. > :41:26.been reducing salt and now we are focusing more on sugar. The industry

:41:27. > :41:31.understands that consumers want more options and they are providing them.

:41:32. > :41:34.They are changing products. It is something that will need to be done

:41:35. > :41:38.gradually as has been said that it is something that will make a

:41:39. > :41:41.difference. We know that sugar is highly addictive, and children in

:41:42. > :41:46.particular as will as young people can really crave a sugar hit from

:41:47. > :41:51.their cereal or chocolate bar that they or whatever they are used to

:41:52. > :41:55.happen having. If you reduce sugar content, don't you think that people

:41:56. > :41:59.will look for better tasting things elsewhere? I think it is very

:42:00. > :42:03.important that we widen the focus away just from sugar and on two

:42:04. > :42:08.calories because, in the end, city is about excess calories and that is

:42:09. > :42:12.something that public health England said they would do before long. It

:42:13. > :42:16.is easier for the industry to change the rest of your products on a

:42:17. > :42:21.calorie basis than it is on sugar so you are dead right. We need to look

:42:22. > :42:24.at this from a whole diet point of view. We haven't a few interesting

:42:25. > :42:29.comment from viewers. Jane has said that if you make smaller chocolate

:42:30. > :42:35.bars, you also need a smaller price. Might that happen? It is important

:42:36. > :42:39.to remember that changing the recipe of the product is not a cost free

:42:40. > :42:43.exercise. Particularly big leading brands that people love, it needs to

:42:44. > :42:48.be done carefully. There needs to be research, packaging research,

:42:49. > :42:53.machinery needs to be changed. It is not merely taking some stuff out of

:42:54. > :42:57.the kitchen. But, also, one of the ways that manufacturers will have to

:42:58. > :43:01.lower sugar content is simply by making things smaller. Yes.

:43:02. > :43:05.Particularly for those products where it is not possible to

:43:06. > :43:09.substitute the sugar, we will see things get smaller. And it is right

:43:10. > :43:13.that public health England are out there today saying to people that

:43:14. > :43:16.they need to expect this will happen. Childhood obesity, in

:43:17. > :43:20.particular, is a serious problem and we need to tackle it in one of the

:43:21. > :43:24.consequences that we see is the recipes of products will change

:43:25. > :43:28.gradually and we will see some of our favourite products are smaller.

:43:29. > :43:32.Will we also see manufacturers ignore them because these are not

:43:33. > :43:36.mandatory guidelines? I doubt that will happen. If you look across the

:43:37. > :43:41.food industry, consumers are demanding more of these options in

:43:42. > :43:44.the food industry will always respond to consumer demand. For the

:43:45. > :43:48.industry, this is not so much about a time-limited programme, this is a

:43:49. > :43:52.commitment now to reformulate, whenever the product cycle,

:43:53. > :43:54.innovation allows it, products will be changed to make for healthier

:43:55. > :44:04.options. Thank you very much indeed. You can

:44:05. > :44:08.imagine the conversation can't you in that cereal aisle with a young

:44:09. > :44:11.child. You want this one a taste exactly like the one you already

:44:12. > :44:20.want all you want this new healthy one? Challenging. It is 644 and you

:44:21. > :44:23.are watching breakfast. A reminder of our top stories...

:44:24. > :44:26.The main stories this morning: Plans to repatriate more than 40 years

:44:27. > :44:28.worth of powers from the European Union back

:44:29. > :44:31.to Westminster will begin today with the publication

:44:32. > :44:35.A helicopter with five people on board has gone missing over

:44:36. > :44:49.Apparently it is going to be quite a warm day today. It is not just a

:44:50. > :44:55.rumour. Good morning. It will be for many of you. It is not completely

:44:56. > :45:00.dry. Let me show you where we are. It is a birds eye view of the

:45:01. > :45:06.location of Sandy in Beds at the RSPB headquarters at the nature

:45:07. > :45:13.reserve. It is a stunning view. -- Sandy in Bedfordshire. We are here

:45:14. > :45:20.because of the results of the RSPB's Garden Bird watch. We have revealed

:45:21. > :45:30.the results so far. Close to half a million of you took part. To tell us

:45:31. > :45:37.more is one of the team from the Big Garden Bird Watch is Jamie. Who are

:45:38. > :45:45.the movers and shakers? The robin, lots more seen this year, the losers

:45:51. > :45:55.similar bird, are they? Similar bird, different food, so last year's

:45:56. > :46:00.long spring meant fewer caterpillars for the blue tit to feed chicks. And

:46:01. > :46:09.the other thing is migratory birds? I am not meant to have favourites at

:46:10. > :46:14.loads of Max -- wax wings, stunning creatures from the northern parts of

:46:15. > :46:19.Scandinavia and Russia. And I reckon the weather has had a part to play

:46:20. > :46:23.in that, hasn't it? Absolutely, the easterly wind and the cold winters

:46:24. > :46:27.in Siberia and Scandinavia has driven them towards us and they are

:46:28. > :46:34.still in the country today - go and look for them. Thank you for joining

:46:35. > :46:38.us this morning. Yes, the wax wings will be enjoying, not the best word,

:46:39. > :46:43.the warmth across eastern areas. They prefer something a little bit

:46:44. > :46:47.cooler, of course, but we look at the forecast and we split the

:46:48. > :46:51.country in two, eastern areas the warmest with sunshine and to the

:46:52. > :46:56.west we have the rain, quite heavy at times around the Irish Sea.

:46:57. > :47:01.Across south-west England, the odd shower, dry and sunny for some in

:47:02. > :47:05.the rush hour. A little sunny in Wales, misty in the west, with

:47:06. > :47:11.patchy rain. Extending across the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man, Cumbria,

:47:12. > :47:13.eastern Northern Ireland and increasingly south-west Scotland,

:47:14. > :47:19.although much of Scotland will be dry. Sunshine here and there. Much

:47:20. > :47:22.warm in the east. The same for the north-east of England compared to

:47:23. > :47:27.yesterday. Clout and spots of rain through the day. Across eastern

:47:28. > :47:31.parts of England, one or two isolated showers around. Don't be

:47:32. > :47:36.surprised if it starts to rain. Fairly isolated, few of us will see

:47:37. > :47:41.them and it won't last too long but away from that we have high cloud

:47:42. > :47:45.around, spells of sunshine coming through and the sunshine will

:47:46. > :47:49.develop further through the day for part of Southeast East Anglia, the

:47:50. > :47:54.Midlands and even eastern parts of Wales with the warmest conditions

:47:55. > :47:57.here. Raining in around the Irish Sea areas and extensive in Scotland

:47:58. > :48:02.through the afternoon with heavy bursts. Even in the rain,

:48:03. > :48:06.temperatures above where they should be with wind from the south, most in

:48:07. > :48:10.the midteens, some have the upper teens and four East Anglia and the

:48:11. > :48:16.south-east, the low 20s, maybe even 23 could be the high. Now, we

:48:17. > :48:20.continue with mild conditions tonight. It will turn wet in the

:48:21. > :48:24.west with the rain more extensive, a little more heavy as well and that

:48:25. > :48:30.will push further north and east. A mild start to tomorrow. Fairly

:48:31. > :48:36.cloudy. A small area of rain will push east across England and Wales.

:48:37. > :48:39.Wettest conditions to begin in north-west England, eastern Northern

:48:40. > :48:43.Ireland and increasingly into Scotland, heavy rain at times for

:48:44. > :48:47.you. But for most it will be dry Tomasin is well on Friday and

:48:48. > :48:53.temperatures not as high as today, quite warm, highs of 18 or 19

:48:54. > :48:58.degrees. Starting to turn cooler on Saturday. Rain possible just about

:48:59. > :49:07.anywhere in the form of heavy showers. Fairly slow-moving with

:49:08. > :49:11.light wind. That all clears through and we see things dry and cool on

:49:12. > :49:16.Sunday. Lots of sunshine around. That is how the forecast is looking

:49:17. > :49:20.and I will leave you again with a spectacular birds eye view from us

:49:21. > :49:29.here in Sandy. Back to you Charlie and Sally. You are just showing off.

:49:30. > :49:32.You definitely win "The best view of the day." Gorgeous. Thank you. We

:49:33. > :49:37.will bring you right back the day." Gorgeous. Thank you. We

:49:38. > :49:42.earth. Steph will, anyway, talking about how people are employed, self

:49:43. > :49:45.employment, short-term contracts. Yes, it is a lot more flexible.

:49:46. > :49:47.With short-term contracts and freelance work, many praise

:49:48. > :49:57.the so-called "gig economy" for offering employees flexibility.

:49:58. > :50:01.And I obviously don't just mean music gigs, it could be taxi drivers

:50:02. > :50:08.or careers. Earlier this month one business

:50:09. > :50:11.group estimated that 1.3 million people work in this way

:50:12. > :50:14.and they expect that number MPs on two committees are currently

:50:15. > :50:23.taking evidence about conditions Nigel Mackay is an employment

:50:24. > :50:27.solicitor at Leigh Day, which is representing

:50:28. > :50:46.the Deliveroo couriers. So, tell us, Nigel, you are involved

:50:47. > :50:52.in this case at the moment where Deliveroo drivers are unhappy. That

:50:53. > :50:57.is right, at the moment Deliveroo treats writers as self-employed. So

:50:58. > :51:02.effectively they are running their own business when they carry out

:51:03. > :51:10.their jobs delivering food. We say that is misleading the relationship.

:51:11. > :51:14.So, workers or even employees, like someone working in any other job,

:51:15. > :51:20.and there are different factors you look at when you determine that. And

:51:21. > :51:26.in this case what we see is the control in particular that the

:51:27. > :51:33.company has over its workers, it requires them to carry out work in a

:51:34. > :51:37.certain way, it has a recruitment process, it has a performance

:51:38. > :51:41.management process, if they don't do jobs in enough time, they can be

:51:42. > :51:46.terminated from the system, and they have to wear a uniform and carry a

:51:47. > :51:49.box with a company logo, so it is hard to see how they can be

:51:50. > :51:53.self-employed when they are obviously integrated and part of the

:51:54. > :51:59.business. What are the rights that they want and that they feel they

:52:00. > :52:03.don't have? In particular, they are looking to ensure they are going to

:52:04. > :52:06.be paid the minimum wage. At the moment there is no guarantee for

:52:07. > :52:11.people who are genuinely self-employed. That is because they

:52:12. > :52:16.get paid for the individual jobs. They might only get one and Allah,

:52:17. > :52:20.less than the minimum wage, is that the problem? Essentially it is the

:52:21. > :52:26.problem, although Deliveroo has a mix, it has some shifts and some

:52:27. > :52:34.paper drop as it calls it, but it could work out that they get less

:52:35. > :52:38.than the minimum wage -- pay-per-drop. The other thing is

:52:39. > :52:44.holiday and sick pay. Yes. Workers are entitled to holiday, to accrue

:52:45. > :52:48.holiday when they work, and to be paid for that, and at the moment

:52:49. > :52:52.Deliveroo riders don't get that. The other important thing that workers

:52:53. > :52:58.are entitled to is protection from discrimination. If you are a worker,

:52:59. > :53:02.your employer shouldn't discriminate against you. Something talking to

:53:03. > :53:06.Deliveroo riders is that Deliveroo has introduced a new rule that 16

:53:07. > :53:11.and 17 -year-olds can no longer work for them which is potentially age

:53:12. > :53:14.discrimination. If we can show that they are workers, then they could be

:53:15. > :53:20.entitled not to be discriminated against. Deliveroo say they cannot

:53:21. > :53:24.comment on the latest claim and say they are proud to offer well-paid

:53:25. > :53:29.work to 15,000 self-employed UK riders and will continue to work

:53:30. > :53:33.closely to ensure that as a company continues to grow in the UK the

:53:34. > :53:36.riders benefit from the growth. There is lots of writers who are

:53:37. > :53:43.with Deliveroo who are very happy. You represent 20 who are unhappy.

:53:44. > :53:47.There are 15,000 representing them. We have around 20 at the moment who

:53:48. > :53:51.we started proceedings for and lots of other people are joining the

:53:52. > :53:56.claim as well. It is quite difficult to establish people who are happy

:53:57. > :54:02.and unhappy. One thing I would say is that nothing in our claim will

:54:03. > :54:05.prevent flexibility, so just because workers work flexibly doesn't mean

:54:06. > :54:08.they shouldn't be entitled to workers' rights. We are not saying

:54:09. > :54:12.people should be forced to work a certain amount of time, we say when

:54:13. > :54:16.they work they should have the right they are entitled to. Thank you for

:54:17. > :54:20.your time this morning and that is it from me for now. And we are

:54:21. > :54:20.staying with food, my favourite subject.

:54:21. > :54:23.Imagine going to a restaurant where the meal costs just a pound.

:54:24. > :54:27.That was the aim of National Kitchens, set up by the government

:54:28. > :54:30.during the First World War to help ensure everyone had access to food.

:54:31. > :54:33.Well, 100 years on, there are calls to revive the concept.

:54:34. > :54:36.Breakfast's Tim Muffett is in Liverpool to find out more.

:54:37. > :54:43.Good morning. Going back 100 years, a meal for six shillings, the idea

:54:44. > :54:50.of about ?1 in today's money, brought in with the World War I food

:54:51. > :54:57.shortages, it was a way of people being fed, at a pretty good price

:54:58. > :55:02.but the idea of is it a good idea to introduce it? Today, National

:55:03. > :55:07.Kitchens will be introduced for one day only. Doctor Bryce Evans from

:55:08. > :55:10.Liverpool The university, why are we bringing back National Kitchens? I

:55:11. > :55:15.have research National Kitchens from a while and funding from the arts

:55:16. > :55:18.council has come in so we want to create this across Britain. Very

:55:19. > :55:22.exciting. This is the inaugural event. The idea being how to think

:55:23. > :55:26.about social eating. We are very used to the food banks at weekend do

:55:27. > :55:30.better than the basic food bank model. If we look at the past in

:55:31. > :55:36.this country, 100 years ago the model was communal dining. And as

:55:37. > :55:40.you will see from the students here, flowers, nice decorations, these

:55:41. > :55:45.would be centres of civilisation. Back in time, why was it brought in,

:55:46. > :55:52.what was important about it, and is it relevant in 2017? It is very

:55:53. > :55:56.relevant with the talk about Brexit but young people didn't choose to be

:55:57. > :56:00.living under austerity. So you see quite a strong food movement today

:56:01. > :56:05.amongst young people. That is a strong thing for this generation. We

:56:06. > :56:11.have a Genesis and easier. Bacca 100 years we had communal dining --

:56:12. > :56:16.amnesia. And interestingly it was state-sponsored. They were run

:56:17. > :56:20.locally but they were sponsored by the state. If we look at the role of

:56:21. > :56:24.the state today and how that has shifted. Interesting thoughts. Not

:56:25. > :56:28.everyone would agree with them. Let's talk to Gaby homes from the

:56:29. > :56:36.real junk food project in Liverpool. We created a three course meal for

:56:37. > :56:41.?2 79 per head. Using food from supermarkets around the city, we use

:56:42. > :56:45.cheap cuts of meat, root vegetables, tinned food, so it is easy for

:56:46. > :56:52.people to make a hearty and nutritious meal. Thank you very

:56:53. > :56:56.much. We will talk more a bit later. Some of the volunteers as well. This

:56:57. > :57:02.event kicks off at 7pm this evening. There will be others across the UK

:57:03. > :57:08.in the next few weeks. It is an interesting idea, feeding people

:57:09. > :57:12.cheaply and healthily, it is hoped. 100 years old, relevant today - we

:57:13. > :57:14.will have to wait and see. It looks fantastic.

:57:15. > :00:34.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:00:35. > :00:36.Top temperatures tomorrow 16 or 17 degrees.

:00:37. > :00:39.Sunny spells and heavy showers on Saturday.

:00:40. > :00:46.After the starting gun is fired for Brexit -

:00:47. > :00:48.the process to take power back from Brussels begins today.

:00:49. > :00:52.The government will set out plans to convert thousands of EU rules

:00:53. > :00:58.into British law as it publishes details of the Great Repeal Bill.

:00:59. > :01:04.It will be a different relationship but I think it will have the same

:01:05. > :01:13.benefits in terms of free access to trade.

:01:14. > :01:15.Good morning, it's Thursday the 30th of March.

:01:16. > :01:20.A helicopter with five people on board has gone missing off

:01:21. > :01:37.I am here in Caernarfon where the operation is due to get back under

:01:38. > :01:39.way this morning after a after a helicopter went missing with five

:01:40. > :01:45.people on board. Trying to tackle obesity -

:02:02. > :02:04.at the World Championships, she's to receive a bronze

:02:05. > :02:15.medal after an athlete National Kitchens we introduced 100

:02:16. > :02:19.years ago during World War I. The idea was to feed people cheaply and

:02:20. > :02:21.healthily. Should they be bought back? Some people think so.

:02:22. > :02:26.And Matt is in Bedfordshire with the forecast this morning.

:02:27. > :02:35.Good morning to you. I am at a nature reserve here talking about

:02:36. > :02:39.the results of the big garden Bird watch. They also have news of warm

:02:40. > :02:43.weather today across the east of England. For some, we still have

:02:44. > :02:46.rain and the forecast, details in the next 15

:02:47. > :02:52.Plans to make Britain an 'independent, sovereign' nation

:02:53. > :02:55.will be published this morning - just one day after Theresa May

:02:56. > :02:59.The Great Repeal Bill will outline how the government plans

:03:00. > :03:01.to repatriate more than 40 years worth of powers

:03:02. > :03:04.from the European Union and convert thousands of EU rules

:03:05. > :03:07.Yesterday, Theresa May described Britain's departure from the EU

:03:08. > :03:10.as "an historic moment from which there can be

:03:11. > :03:15.Cometh the hour, cometh the moment, in Westminster, Belfast,

:03:16. > :03:19.Edinburgh and Cardiff - the exact moment the UK took

:03:20. > :03:27.This is an historic moment from which there is no turning back.

:03:28. > :03:31.The letter, hand-delivered by our man in Brussels,

:03:32. > :03:33.telling the EU we are on our way out.

:03:34. > :03:37.Written in a deliberately conciliatory tone.

:03:38. > :03:41.but a hint, too, of the steel in Mrs May's stance.

:03:42. > :03:44.No overt threat to walk away, but a serious warning,

:03:45. > :03:47.as she wrote "a failure to reach an agreement

:03:48. > :03:50.would mean our cooperation in the fight against crime

:03:51. > :03:57.We must therefore work hard to avoid that outcome."

:03:58. > :04:02.A sentence that certainly raised eyebrows, here,

:04:03. > :04:05.But despite all the difficulties, Mrs May promised

:04:06. > :04:08.our relationship with the rest of the continent will be just

:04:09. > :04:15.What we are both looking for is that comprehensive

:04:16. > :04:17.trade agreement, which gives that ability to trade freely

:04:18. > :04:21.And for them, and for them to trade with us.

:04:22. > :04:24.It would be a different relationship, but I think it can

:04:25. > :04:33.have the same benefits in terms of that free access to trade.

:04:34. > :04:36.Labour insisted it would hold the government to account

:04:37. > :04:39.More than ever, Britain needs a government that will deliver

:04:40. > :04:41.for the whole country, not just the few.

:04:42. > :04:44.And that is the ultimate test of the Brexit deal

:04:45. > :04:46.that the Prime Minister must now secure.

:04:47. > :04:50.Two years to untangle a 40-year relationship,

:04:51. > :04:55.to undertake all the interwoven regulations and legislation.

:04:56. > :04:58.That task starts today, with more detail from the government

:04:59. > :05:00.on how it plans to bring EU powers back to Westminster.

:05:01. > :05:06.Eleanor Garnier, BBC News, Westminster.

:05:07. > :05:09.Our political correspondent Iain Watson is in Westminster.

:05:10. > :05:12.What can we expect on this first full day after the Article 50

:05:13. > :05:29.So the two. Can you explain the procedure? We are getting some of

:05:30. > :05:33.the details of this grandly titled Great Repeal Bill. The bill follows

:05:34. > :05:37.later in the spring and will come into force on the day though we

:05:38. > :05:41.leave the European Union. It is ambitiously titled and when you

:05:42. > :05:47.think of the word repeal you think of, perhaps, a reversal, but what it

:05:48. > :05:51.will do is bring in all the EU laws and regulations into UK law. The

:05:52. > :05:55.government says this is a good thing because in effect we will be waking

:05:56. > :05:59.to the same standards as our current European partners, we will have the

:06:00. > :06:04.same rules, and that will make a future trading relationship that

:06:05. > :06:09.much easier. Some big policy changes will have to go into separate laws.

:06:10. > :06:15.Things such as immigration will require separate parliament where

:06:16. > :06:18.it's Grigory. There has been a linking of the trade deal with

:06:19. > :06:24.security co-operation that some people have been suggesting that the

:06:25. > :06:27.reason may is attempting to blackmail and the chief negotiator

:06:28. > :06:34.of the EU parliament said he would not use the word blackmail because

:06:35. > :06:40.he is a gentleman. It is a bad start and government ministers have been

:06:41. > :06:43.anxious to stressed that the government is not threatening people

:06:44. > :06:45.but, to be perfectly honest, at the start of the negotiation I would

:06:46. > :06:47.expect it to talk from both sides. After 8:30 we'll be speaking

:06:59. > :07:04.the aircraft, which was en route to Dublin from Milton Keynes

:07:05. > :07:06.when it disappeared. Our reporter Holly Hamilton

:07:07. > :07:24.is in Caernarfon this morning. What more do you know? We know that

:07:25. > :07:28.this was a privately owned helicopter with five people on

:07:29. > :07:32.board. We know it left milk and he is shortly before midday yesterday

:07:33. > :07:38.morning and was supposed to go to Dublin, stopping here in Caernarfon

:07:39. > :07:43.but unfortunately it never arrived. And with radio control lost and no

:07:44. > :07:47.sightings the UK coastguard was immediately informed. They launched

:07:48. > :07:53.their search operation shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon.

:07:54. > :07:58.That operation, involving two coastguard helicopters, surged this

:07:59. > :08:02.area from North Wales to Dublin by sea and by land and that surge had

:08:03. > :08:09.to be called off late last night due to very poor visibility and weather

:08:10. > :08:15.conditions. North Wales police took over that search operation on land

:08:16. > :08:18.last night. They introduced Mountain rescue teams focusing on the

:08:19. > :08:23.Snowdonia area. Like I said, we do not know a lot at this point about

:08:24. > :08:27.the individuals on board the aircraft. We know that it is a twin

:08:28. > :08:31.red squirrel helicopter and members of the public have been asked to get

:08:32. > :08:35.in touch as they saw the helicopter yesterday afternoon. The search

:08:36. > :08:39.operation is supposed to be getting under way this morning. Very poor

:08:40. > :08:44.weather conditions, still very poor visibility but in a situation like

:08:45. > :08:45.this it is the urgent that the operation gets under way as quickly

:10:54. > :11:10.the stigma around mental health. The hardest thing for me initially

:11:11. > :11:17.was talking. I am not a big talk. I am from the north of England! I am

:11:18. > :11:23.from a working-class family. We do not talk about our feelings. At the

:11:24. > :11:29.same for me. Just not something you spoke about. We will talk more about

:11:30. > :11:36.those conversations, including speaking to two people who made one

:11:37. > :11:40.of the films, we will track to them later on this morning.

:12:10. > :12:25.Look at her! Out and about everyday! Houses for a quote? We already miss

:12:26. > :12:29.you. Thank you and goodbye. Those were the words of the European

:12:30. > :12:32.Council president yesterday as the Article 50 letter was delivered to

:12:33. > :12:40.Brussels. Lots of reaction across the continent. Good morning, down.

:12:41. > :12:41.Many of the comments that have come across is

:12:42. > :12:45.a stirring things up. Take is through what we hear.

:12:46. > :12:51.You should not underestimate the sadness in this city. Allah is in

:13:01. > :13:03.we are already seeing a hardening of the language and a determination

:13:04. > :13:51.that negotiations will not be easy for England. -- the UK.

:13:52. > :14:02.With me here this morning I have two people who live and work in

:14:03. > :14:05.Brussels. Effie is a journalist and Jet is an MEP. Do you share the

:14:06. > :14:13.sadness was expressed yesterday? Yes, for certain. Yesterday was a

:14:14. > :14:17.historic day for the EU and it is the first time in the history of the

:14:18. > :14:22.European Union as a whole that a member state decided to leave. The

:14:23. > :14:28.mood here was quite heavy. It was quite emotional day as well. My

:14:29. > :14:32.colleagues had tears in their eyes because at the end of the day we are

:14:33. > :14:35.all Europeans despite the comp Petterd divorce we are entering. The

:14:36. > :14:40.most expensive and complicated divorce in history. It was quite an

:14:41. > :14:45.emotional day. It is happening and it is real. What do you think will

:14:46. > :14:49.happen next? We already see this getting tough? It will not be easy

:14:50. > :14:54.for the UK and that is what everybody here in Brussels, senior

:14:55. > :14:58.officials, saying all the time. Of course that they have to show and

:14:59. > :15:03.they want to send a clear message to everybody, as will as the rest of

:15:04. > :15:09.the member states here that it is worse to be out than stay in. And of

:15:10. > :15:11.course it has been said clearly, it is about damage control. It is not a

:15:12. > :15:30.win win, it is about damage control. It is important to find a deal for

:15:31. > :15:36.the citizens of Europe as well as citizens in the UK. And also for a

:15:37. > :15:42.transparent process to ensure the public follow what is going on and I

:15:43. > :15:46.think that will if we do it transparently lead to a fair deal. I

:15:47. > :15:51.hope we can come out stronger even though it is a painful moment in

:15:52. > :15:55.history. It will be very complicated with a lot of disagreement. Mainly

:15:56. > :16:01.for the UK. All of the standards we have built up on consumer

:16:02. > :16:04.protection, labour rights, regulation of the market, you have

:16:05. > :16:09.to deal with these things in the UK in a short time period so it will be

:16:10. > :16:14.a tremendous challenge for the UK. And I wish you the best. I hope we

:16:15. > :16:18.all get a fair deal and we can work together. You talk to people across

:16:19. > :16:24.Europe, do they want a strong relationship with Britain any more?

:16:25. > :16:29.I don't think so. There is diversity among EU people. You cannot speak

:16:30. > :16:33.about EU citizens as a whole thing but they are of course very

:16:34. > :16:37.different. I don't think they are very positive, especially in

:16:38. > :16:41.Brussels, there are a lot of European people. They say if you

:16:42. > :16:46.want to go you pay the price. It is a difficult period for the EU as a

:16:47. > :16:50.whole. It is not about punishing the United Kingdom. It is an existential

:16:51. > :16:55.crisis that the EU is suffering right now. It has to show that a

:16:56. > :16:59.high Brexit is the only option. Thank you. I appreciate your time.

:17:00. > :17:04.There is a lot more to them to be done. The disagreements are opening

:17:05. > :17:08.up straightaway. Thank you very much. Speak to you later on.

:17:09. > :17:12.Remember not long ago when we asked people to look in their gardens to

:17:13. > :17:15.look at the different types of birds and monitor the changes. One person

:17:16. > :17:23.has all of the answers from the survey. Matt is out enjoying the

:17:24. > :17:28.dawn chorus. Yes, we have come to the RSPB headquarters and you can

:17:29. > :17:33.see I am surrounded by a glorious nature, it is in full song this

:17:34. > :17:38.morning with a beautiful start to the day. We are here to talk about

:17:39. > :17:42.the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch and if you are one of the half million

:17:43. > :17:46.people out in the latter stage of January the results have been

:17:47. > :17:54.standing with a boost in birds in gardens this year, notably the

:17:55. > :18:05.robin, the highest number recorded in 20 years. And also migratory

:18:06. > :18:11.birds in winter including the waxwing, where it was a cold winter.

:18:12. > :18:16.Easterly wind helping that. One bird which has suffered has been the blue

:18:17. > :18:21.chips with numbers down around 11%. It is thought it is the wet weather

:18:22. > :18:24.from the previous years which has hampered their feeding arrangements

:18:25. > :18:28.-- blue tits. We will have more results on those through the

:18:29. > :18:34.morning. They are enjoying the weather this morning. It has been

:18:35. > :18:40.lovely and dry. Across many eastern areas it should be fine. We will see

:18:41. > :18:45.warmth across eastern areas. In the west there is cloud around. There is

:18:46. > :18:50.a bit of an east- west split. Let's start with the west. It isn't wet

:18:51. > :18:54.everywhere. Dry weather in Wales and south-west England. Showery

:18:55. > :18:58.conditions here. For the far west of Wales it is grey and misty and murky

:18:59. > :19:05.with fog over the hills and patchy rain and drizzle. For one or two it

:19:06. > :19:09.will be down all day. The rain extends into Cumbria and Northern

:19:10. > :19:13.Ireland. Much of Northern Ireland will be predominantly dry. Rain

:19:14. > :19:17.edging into Dumfries and Galloway and the big thing is it is warmer

:19:18. > :19:21.than yesterday. You will notice that in north-east England, not as chilly

:19:22. > :19:25.as yesterday morning. Cloud around, spots of rain in north-east England

:19:26. > :19:30.and isolated showers, East Anglia, the Midlands and the south-east.

:19:31. > :19:35.They are few in number and isolated with most departing quickly so the

:19:36. > :19:39.rest of the day will be dry. Cloud around but sunny spells coming

:19:40. > :19:44.through, making it feel very warm across the Midlands, East Anglia for

:19:45. > :19:49.this time of year with 22, maybe 23 degrees. Frayne continues for those

:19:50. > :19:52.around the Irish Sea, wet across Scotland in the afternoon -- Rain.

:19:53. > :19:57.Even here, noted temperatures holding up in the midteens. Wind

:19:58. > :20:00.coming from the south, keeping things warm, and mild weather

:20:01. > :20:04.continues through tonight. Tonight the rain will turn heavy and

:20:05. > :20:08.persistent in the west. It is largely dry across eastern areas.

:20:09. > :20:13.Patchy rain or drizzle into England or Wales later. Temperatures start

:20:14. > :20:18.in double figures for most, cloud for the morning commute, patchy rain

:20:19. > :20:22.working eastwards across England and Wales, wettest in Northern Ireland

:20:23. > :20:26.and Scotland first thing. Scotland holds on to the rain in the morning

:20:27. > :20:31.and then departs. Friday brightens up, so if you start delivering you

:20:32. > :20:37.will see the sunshine come out later on, and pleasant once it is through.

:20:38. > :20:41.Saturday has rain and showers, springtime showers which could be

:20:42. > :20:45.heavy and thundery. Slow moving across England and Wales with light

:20:46. > :20:49.wind, turning cooler with sunshine at times. Sunday has a chilly start

:20:50. > :20:53.but it should be a dry and bright day for many. Sunday the better day

:20:54. > :20:57.of the weekend. That is how your weather is looking. As you can see

:20:58. > :21:04.from the birds Eye view here in Bedfordshire it is a cracking start.

:21:05. > :21:15.If you have dry weather, enjoy it -- Birds Eye view. Beautiful collars.

:21:16. > :21:16.See you later. Thank you. -- colours.

:21:17. > :21:19.A credit card boom and a rise in the minimum wage -

:21:20. > :21:22.Steph has more on that and the other main business stories.

:21:23. > :21:25.Credit card borrowing has risen at its fastest rate in more

:21:26. > :21:36.than a decade and raised fears of a new debt crisis.

:21:37. > :21:39.Spending on plastic grew 9.3% in the year to February,

:21:40. > :21:43.That is the fastest growth rate since February 2006 and comes

:21:44. > :21:50.amid fears households are living above their means.

:21:51. > :21:54.Up to 2.3 million workers will get a pay rise when minimum wage rates

:21:55. > :21:57.go up on Saturday, according to the Low Pay Commission.

:21:58. > :22:02.The National Living Wage for over 24s goes up by 30p an hour

:22:03. > :22:16.The minimum wage will go up depending on the working age. There

:22:17. > :22:19.are warnings it will cause pressures for employers and that is something

:22:20. > :22:26.we will talk about on the programme tomorrow. Remember when the Samsung

:22:27. > :22:28.Note 7 was recalled? Samsung have

:22:29. > :22:29.launched their latest Faulty batteries which overheated

:22:30. > :22:33.caused dozens of Samsung's Note 7 Millions were recalled

:22:34. > :22:44.at an estimated cost of $6 billion. So, big figures for them and they

:22:45. > :22:48.will hope that the latest phone will win back customers and get sales are

:22:49. > :22:50.began. And be safe. There is that, yes. Thank you.

:22:51. > :22:52.Families of prisoners are increasingly being targeted

:22:53. > :22:54.by criminals using extortion and blackmail, according

:22:55. > :22:55.to organisations which support relatives.

:22:56. > :22:58.The former head of the prison service's anti-corruption unit has

:22:59. > :23:00.told Breakfast that families are paying a heavy price

:23:01. > :23:04.In some cases, inmates are threatening to harm people's

:23:05. > :23:07.relatives unless they pay off drug debts.

:23:08. > :23:19.Jayne McCubbin has been to hear one family's story.

:23:20. > :23:25.The letter which arrived at her house spoke of last chances.

:23:26. > :23:29."I'm tired of being nice," said its anonymous order.

:23:30. > :23:33.If she didn't pay to clear a drug debt, he'll be getting

:23:34. > :23:39.Straightaway there is panic to get the money and sort it

:23:40. > :23:42.The family tell me they had no choice.

:23:43. > :23:49.People watching will think, you shouldn't have paid that.

:23:50. > :23:51.If you were in my position, you would pay it.

:23:52. > :23:54.At the end of the day, if you love someone,

:23:55. > :24:04.His mother tells me he wasn't safe and he still isn't.

:24:05. > :24:07.That is why we have protected their anonymity.

:24:08. > :24:10.Beatings, stabbings, black eyes, dislocated jaw,

:24:11. > :24:12.busted nose, you name it, he's had it done.

:24:13. > :24:19.I reckon he'll take his life before long.

:24:20. > :24:25.There's not a day that goes by when I don't think

:24:26. > :24:30.In recent months, mobile phone footage and TV cameras have captured

:24:31. > :24:37.What is less documented is how it is paid for.

:24:38. > :24:49.The families are paying a heavy price for the drug problem.

:24:50. > :24:59.We show the family's interviewed to a former prison governor

:25:00. > :25:02.John Podmore and one-time head of the Prison Service Anticorruption

:25:03. > :25:09.The crime here is blackmail, extortion and everything else that

:25:10. > :25:13.goes with that, and the families should not be suffering in this way.

:25:14. > :25:15.We should be protecting prisoners and the community.

:25:16. > :25:21.We've spoken with three support groups which work with the families

:25:22. > :25:26.Those charities told us that they are supporting more

:25:27. > :25:29.families who are the victim of blackmail and extortion.

:25:30. > :25:32.They say the numbers are still small but it is a growing problem.

:25:33. > :25:35.The Ministry of Justice gave us this statement...

:25:36. > :25:36."We take any allegations extremely seriously

:25:37. > :25:41.We are taking action to tackle drug abuse in prisons and those found

:25:42. > :25:51.with them can face extra time behind bars."

:25:52. > :25:54.We showed John Podmore this letter, it's from the Prison Service

:25:55. > :25:57.to the family in response to their concerns and it concludes,

:25:58. > :26:01."The only way to resolve this issue is for your son to stop taking drugs

:26:02. > :26:03.and for you to stop funding his habit."

:26:04. > :26:05.This is saying, "Sorry, not our problem."

:26:06. > :26:10.You think it is happening to other families?

:26:11. > :26:23.I know it is happening to other families.

:26:24. > :26:35.As you referred to in your piece, getting an idea of the scale of the

:26:36. > :26:39.problem and the subject matter. There are no official figures but we

:26:40. > :26:43.have been told from partners of prisoners and the family support

:26:44. > :26:48.group and the prison advice and care trust that this is an increasing

:26:49. > :26:52.problem - they are seeing it more on the support groups and on the

:26:53. > :26:57.telephone lines. We have been told from PACT that one woman is

:26:58. > :27:01.receiving text messages from one who says her son will be killed in

:27:02. > :27:05.prison if she doesn't pay the money. They are encouraging her to work

:27:06. > :27:09.with the police to share that information at she is not. She is

:27:10. > :27:13.paying because she is not convinced they can keep her son safe in prison

:27:14. > :27:20.despite assurances. PACT say they think this is a symptom of broader

:27:21. > :27:28.chaos in the system with almost 30% fewer than -- prison officers than

:27:29. > :27:32.we had in 2010 and one prison officer says this is a void filled

:27:33. > :27:36.with criminality. This trust will be at a conference later today and she

:27:37. > :27:40.will reiterate what she has said already -- Liz Truss. She believes

:27:41. > :27:45.safety and rehabilitation should be at the heart of the Prison Service.

:27:46. > :27:49.She has a recruitment drive to get 2500 officers. There are two

:27:50. > :27:53.problems. That number isn't enough to get back to the 2010 staffing

:27:54. > :28:00.levels and there are slightly more prisoners in the system right now.

:28:01. > :28:04.And two, the other problem, some say it is running to a standstill

:28:05. > :28:08.because as fast as they can recruit they are losing officers with low

:28:09. > :28:10.morale so it is a difficult time and it is unlikely there will be a quick

:28:11. > :28:11.fix. Thank you. Time now to get the news,

:28:12. > :31:35.travel and weather where you are. Plenty more on our website

:31:36. > :31:41.at the usual address. Hello, this is Breakfast

:31:50. > :31:53.will start this morning with the publication of a draft

:31:54. > :31:56.of The Great Repeal Bill. The government paper intends

:31:57. > :31:59.to convert thousands of EU rules House of Commons officials have

:32:00. > :32:02.described the process as one of the largest legislative projects

:32:03. > :32:05.ever undertaken in the UK. In an interview with the BBC last

:32:06. > :32:08.night, the Prime Minister discussed how the UK's new trade relationship

:32:09. > :32:22.with the EU could work. What we are both looking for is that

:32:23. > :32:26.comprehensive free-trade agreement which gives that ability to trade

:32:27. > :32:30.freely into the European single market. And for them to trade with

:32:31. > :32:33.us. There will be a different relationship but I think it will

:32:34. > :32:35.have the same benefits in terms of free access to trade.

:32:36. > :32:38.In an hour's time we'll be speaking to the Secretary of State

:32:39. > :32:42.for Exiting the EU, David Davis, and we'd like to hear some

:32:43. > :32:52.Yes, if there is anything you would like clarity on, do let us know and

:32:53. > :32:53.we will try and put some of those questions to him.

:32:54. > :32:55.A privately-owned helicopter with five people on board has

:33:09. > :33:10.the suspension of President Trump's travel ban for an indefinite period.

:33:11. > :33:14.It means Mr Trump will be barred from enforcing his revised ban

:33:15. > :33:22.on six mostly Muslim states while it is contested in court.

:33:23. > :33:25.Public Health England has published guidelines for the amount of sugar

:33:26. > :33:27.that should be in foods, such as breakfast cereals

:33:28. > :33:32.The aim is to reduce the amount of sugar children consume by twenty%

:33:33. > :33:37.People can expect to see a reduction in the size of products.

:33:38. > :33:39.Senior executives from companies such as Microsoft, Facebook,

:33:40. > :33:42.and Google will meet the Home Secretary later,

:33:43. > :33:45.to discuss ways to tackle extremism online.

:33:46. > :33:48.Amber Rudd will ask them to do more to help counter terrorism

:33:49. > :33:54.by focusing on areas such as extremist content and encryption.

:33:55. > :33:57.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry have released

:33:58. > :34:00.a series of films as part of their 'Heads Together' campaign

:34:01. > :34:02.designed to encourage people to talk about mental health.

:34:03. > :34:05.The project aims to help end the stigma around mental health.

:34:06. > :34:08.The former England cricket captain Andrew Flintoff and the rapper

:34:09. > :34:12.Professor Green, were among the celebrities who've been

:34:13. > :34:17.The hardest thing for me initially was talking.

:34:18. > :34:41.We will discuss that campaign a little later this morning.

:34:42. > :34:43.Organisers of the Oscars say they will continue to work

:34:44. > :34:46.with the accountancy firm, PwC, despite the mistake which led

:34:47. > :34:49.to "La La Land" being wrongly announced as the winner of Best

:34:50. > :34:52.This is the moment Hollywood realised someone hadn't followed

:34:53. > :34:54.the script at the ceremony last month.

:34:55. > :34:57.To make sure a similar mistake doesn't happen next year,

:34:58. > :35:00.there will be an extra accountant on hand, and electronic devices

:35:01. > :35:13.How will an extra accountant help? Whatever the situation, just

:35:14. > :35:17.bringing in another accountant is a good thing. Maybe they could number

:35:18. > :35:23.the envelopes? I don't know. Whether. The weather looks lovely

:35:38. > :35:42.shine for one of our runners but it comes with a tinge of cloud, shall

:35:43. > :35:45.we say, because it is a bit of a what if moment. She finished fourth

:35:46. > :35:49.in the World Championships in 2007 but an athlete who finished ahead of

:35:50. > :35:53.her has since been disqualified for which means she will now receive aid

:35:54. > :36:00.bronze medal for her performance. This is the image, is it? She has

:36:01. > :36:04.missed out she trained hard and afterwards was flat on her back on

:36:05. > :36:08.the track. She was talking about how difficult the race was and said she

:36:09. > :36:12.felt as if she had let everyone down. Of course she had not and now

:36:13. > :36:14.it turns out that she had really were won bronze. Huge mixed emotions

:36:31. > :36:33.who won the silver has been retrospectively

:36:43. > :36:47.think back to those World Championships nearly ten years ago I

:36:48. > :36:52.was running as hard as I possibly could, I had been in the best shape

:36:53. > :36:57.I could get into. Instead of it being a moment where I was thrilled

:36:58. > :37:03.with getting a medal and experiencing the podium I was lying

:37:04. > :37:06.on the track exhausted and feeling despondent, feeling all of the

:38:48. > :38:54.that test cricket does not fall away as G20 grows and grows. For me, test

:38:55. > :39:01.cricket is the pinnacle. It is the toughest test, mentally and of your

:39:02. > :39:06.cricketing skills. For me I believe there is still a huge place for it.

:39:07. > :39:13.And finally, the statue that has caused a stir on social media. It

:39:14. > :39:19.was being unveiled at the international airport in Madeira,

:39:20. > :39:22.the place where Renato was born. To honour that, they presented this

:39:23. > :39:30.magnificent piece of artwork. This bronze bust. The likeness may be

:39:31. > :39:35.questionable but it did bring a smile to his face. Let's be honest,

:39:36. > :39:42.it looks nothing like him. I think he is laughing at it. Someone has

:39:43. > :39:48.made a joke there in that group, haven't they? He does not mind, he

:39:49. > :39:53.has an airport named after him. The thing to do will be to go and have a

:39:54. > :40:00.selfie with that awful trophy. -- statue. Technology companies

:40:01. > :40:03.including Facebook, Google and Twitter are due to meet the Home

:40:04. > :40:08.Secretary this afternoon to discuss how to tackle extremism online. It

:40:09. > :40:11.comes after the acting head of Scotland Yard said the Westminster

:40:12. > :40:17.attack should be a wake-up call for firms. In just a moment we will

:40:18. > :40:22.speak to an Internet safety expert but, first, let's speak to the BBC's

:40:23. > :40:27.media editor. First of all, why this is happening now? Well, we know that

:40:28. > :40:33.the killer, the perpetrator of last week's atrocity in Westminster used

:40:34. > :40:37.what is out which is a messaging service owned by Facebook and he

:40:38. > :40:41.used it in the hours just before he committed his horrendous crime. And

:40:42. > :40:45.Wright went on to the BBC this weekend and said it struck her as

:40:46. > :40:50.frustrating that what app has what we call in to end encryption. It

:40:51. > :40:54.means that the centre of the message and the receiver sender and receiver

:40:55. > :41:00.messages knowing that no-one else will be able to access them. It is

:41:01. > :41:04.completely secure and private. This is frustrating to security services

:41:05. > :41:09.and the police force. What Amber Wright has said is that we need to

:41:10. > :41:12.be able to access those messages. The problem is that the technology

:41:13. > :41:21.to access the messages does not exist. Your iPhone, through example,

:41:22. > :41:25.is secure. The technology does not exist yet and the argument of the

:41:26. > :41:30.technology companies, certainly what they will be making this afternoon

:41:31. > :41:34.is that if they did build the technology, only bad guys would use

:41:35. > :41:38.it. People who want to hack your phone. The technology does not exist

:41:39. > :41:44.yet and we get the impression that they do not want to manufacture it.

:41:45. > :41:49.We did ask Google and Facebook if they would like to be involved in

:41:50. > :41:55.this conversation and they declined. This is, this is a difficult area,

:41:56. > :42:01.isn't it? It is hugely complex because you are dealing with

:42:02. > :42:03.content, speech... It goes from legal free speech right through to

:42:04. > :42:09.extremism, radicalisation and illegal content. So companies need

:42:10. > :42:16.to deal with training moderation teams so that if they receive

:42:17. > :42:21.reports of somebody being worried about a potential terrorist, they

:42:22. > :42:25.need to train moderation team to figure out when and in what instance

:42:26. > :42:35.you escalate that. Imagine either logistical and issues them. For

:42:36. > :42:38.example, a moderation team in Vietnam, how do they communicate and

:42:39. > :42:44.escalate that to law enforcement? I used to work for we both and we had

:42:45. > :42:47.a parallel kind of thing. If somebody reported that they were

:42:48. > :42:52.worried about a person who would commit suicide, what we did was work

:42:53. > :42:55.with the suicide prevention organisations, past the material to

:42:56. > :43:02.them and asked if it was a credible risk. In which cases, if they said

:43:03. > :43:06.yes the information was sent to the police, disseminated to local police

:43:07. > :43:10.and they would send a squad car around. Again, the scale of the

:43:11. > :43:15.number of messages the material you are talking about. How can you

:43:16. > :43:20.achieve it? You need an expert group of criminologists, psychologists,

:43:21. > :43:27.counterterrorism, all of the companies, so that all of the

:43:28. > :43:31.companies can escalate to these experts to decide whether or not to

:43:32. > :43:37.pass on to the police. That way you would have important intelligence

:43:38. > :43:41.about those who do make a risk. And if they would agree to do this, that

:43:42. > :43:46.would make a significant difference to the situation. Obviously, if

:43:47. > :43:50.people become more aware that more of the material they are writing or

:43:51. > :43:53.saying is being monitored, surely then they would just find a

:43:54. > :43:57.different place a different way to say it. I think that is a concern.

:43:58. > :44:03.The Internet is so fast and there are so many different places and

:44:04. > :44:08.apps. As Charlie mentioned, it is the scale of the problem that is

:44:09. > :44:13.difficult to control and there will always be areas of cyberspace where

:44:14. > :44:17.people are able to communicate. It is worth saying that the other half

:44:18. > :44:21.of what is being discussed today is, as you mention, the sheer scale of

:44:22. > :44:26.extremist material online. There is so much of this stuff that censoring

:44:27. > :44:30.it and dropping it from being there is a gargantuan task and the idea

:44:31. > :44:33.that a tech company itself can make that decision on whether or not this

:44:34. > :44:37.or that thing, this post that picture is unacceptable, it takes

:44:38. > :44:45.the technology companies into a space that they are uncomfortable

:44:46. > :44:50.with. A quick thought from me, clearly in PR terms it is bad when

:44:51. > :44:54.there is a link for things like this. Do they care apart from that?

:44:55. > :44:57.Part of the principle of these setups is that they are free, free

:44:58. > :45:04.for people to do what they wish with. Exactly. And the real impact

:45:05. > :45:08.comes when advertisers withdraw advertising. That is what focuses

:45:09. > :45:11.attention. The authors of these companies they are concerned about

:45:12. > :45:15.liability issues and logistical challenges. Having an expert panel

:45:16. > :45:19.external to them to review these things who can read despondent

:45:20. > :45:26.quickly is a way in which you can tackle this.

:45:27. > :45:33.7:45am now. We are going to get the weather from Matt, who is out and

:45:34. > :45:41.about birdwatching. Morning. Good morning. I am at the RSPB's

:45:42. > :45:51.headquarters in Bedfordshire, a stunning location, as you can see

:45:52. > :45:55.from the Birds -- bird's eye view. If you were one of the close to half

:45:56. > :46:01.a million people out spotting birds in January for the RSPB Big Garden

:46:02. > :46:04.Birdwatch, well, the results are out and it has been a bumper year for

:46:05. > :46:10.many of the birds. Especially for the Robin, which has seen the

:46:11. > :46:15.highest numbers recorded in around 20 years, it has been faring well

:46:16. > :46:20.indeed, it also doing well has been the migratory birds to the UK, such

:46:21. > :46:24.as the waxwing, the waxwing comes from Scandinavia and Europe, and a

:46:25. > :46:29.very cold winter, so they have come further west when the winter is cold

:46:30. > :46:33.across Europe in search of food. Easterly wind has helped to push

:46:34. > :46:37.them away. One bird which hasn't done as well as many has been the

:46:38. > :46:45.blue tit. Weather could be to blame. Some of the wet winters that we saw

:46:46. > :46:49.had an effect on where they get their feet from and with less food

:46:50. > :46:56.around there are few in number. Even that said, most of the birds doing

:46:57. > :47:00.very well. That is in part tribute to the wildlife gardening, making

:47:01. > :47:04.them more friendly. We will have more of those results later in the

:47:05. > :47:08.programme. Let's get on with the weather. Not bad to start with

:47:09. > :47:12.sunshine breaking through. It is going to be quite a warm day for

:47:13. > :47:17.eastern areas. That is the big story. Wherever you are, a mild

:47:18. > :47:22.start. In the west we have rain to go with it. This morning if you are

:47:23. > :47:25.on the move across south-west England and where will is, a little

:47:26. > :47:31.rain here and there. Not everyone will see it. The exception in

:47:32. > :47:35.central Wales to the west with mist and low cloud and patchy rain and

:47:36. > :47:40.drizzle to the Isle of Man. And across parts of Northern Ireland.

:47:41. > :47:43.Northern Ireland will have some dry weather and sunshine. And into

:47:44. > :47:48.Scotland, a dry and warm start compared to the east here, the same

:47:49. > :47:51.for north-east England. Parts of north-west England and Southwest

:47:52. > :47:55.Colin, rain will develop this morning. There will be spots of rain

:47:56. > :48:00.across East Anglia and the south-east. Even into the Midlands.

:48:01. > :48:04.Showers are few and far between and fairly fleeting as well. They will

:48:05. > :48:08.move on and then the rest of the day is set to be dry. Not only dry but a

:48:09. > :48:12.good bit of sunshine breaking through and warming up very nicely

:48:13. > :48:17.with temperatures breaking the 70 Fahrenheit mark up to around 22, 20

:48:18. > :48:21.three degrees to the north of London. Further west we have rain

:48:22. > :48:25.for those around the Irish Sea and a wet afternoon across much of

:48:26. > :48:29.Scotland. Even here as you can see it is going to be a mild day for

:48:30. > :48:34.this time of much with temperatures widely in the mid-to-high teens. Now

:48:35. > :48:39.tonight the rain becomes extensive across northern and western areas,

:48:40. > :48:43.heavy at times, spots of rain into England and Wales but not too much

:48:44. > :48:49.further east. Temperatures holding up for most, not dropping below ten

:48:50. > :48:53.or 11 Celsius. It will be a cold start tomorrow, probably wet across

:48:54. > :48:57.parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and north-west England. Rain heavy

:48:58. > :49:00.to begin with. Rain elsewhere pushing eastwards across England and

:49:01. > :49:05.Wales but for most it will be a right day. Dry weather through the

:49:06. > :49:08.afternoon and not quite as warm today but once the sunshine is out

:49:09. > :49:13.with light wind it will be very pleasant with temperatures around 18

:49:14. > :49:18.or 19 degrees across parts of East Anglia. Saturday brings a trend to

:49:19. > :49:23.cooler weather. We will see a typical spring day with sunshine and

:49:24. > :49:28.heavy showers, especially for England and Wales, slow-moving here,

:49:29. > :49:31.so you could be under it for awhile. Sunshine in between and with clear

:49:32. > :49:37.skies developing it be a chilly start to Sunday. But a sunny day in

:49:38. > :49:41.prospect. That is how the day is looking. Here is how it is looking

:49:42. > :49:47.in Bedfordshire. A stunning scene as you can agree. More from here

:49:48. > :49:53.through the morning. I love the way we have the bird's eye view of the

:49:54. > :49:56.bird themed weather forecast. Well thought out. It is like there was a

:49:57. > :50:04.plan. Let's go to Steph. A little while ago you were telling

:50:05. > :50:08.us how we were spending money on credit cards and our how to save

:50:09. > :50:12.money. Yes, lots of people want to save money and make money on those

:50:13. > :50:16.savings and for a long time interest rates have been so low that people

:50:17. > :50:18.have felt hard done by, which is fair enough, so let's have a look.

:50:19. > :50:21.If you want to put money into a tax-free savings account -

:50:22. > :50:25.more commonly known as an ISA - in the current tax year you have

:50:26. > :50:28.until midnight on Wednesday to do it.

:50:29. > :50:32.There's a maximum you can put into an ISA in each tax year.

:50:33. > :50:37.In the 2016/17 tax year the limit is just over ?15,000,

:50:38. > :50:42.and that limit is shooting up to ?20,000 in 2017/18.

:50:43. > :50:48.Research for BBC Breakfast shows the average rate on an easy access

:50:49. > :50:54.On top of that, last year the government introduced

:50:55. > :51:02.That means basic rate taxpayers can earn up to ?1,000 in interest on any

:51:03. > :51:07.Anna Bowes is from the website Savings Champion.co.uk.

:51:08. > :51:15.Good morning to you. You and I have taught for a long time about how it

:51:16. > :51:22.is tough on savers at the moment. How do you make money, you know,

:51:23. > :51:26.sensible saving, but it feels like it is not worth it. Is it worth it?

:51:27. > :51:31.It is worth considering. You shouldn't dismiss them. There is a

:51:32. > :51:35.lot of money in cash ISAs and it is going up, the money saved, so it is

:51:36. > :51:40.important to look for the best rate and try to take advantage of better

:51:41. > :51:44.than 1%. If the average is lower than 1% there will be higher and

:51:45. > :51:49.lower rates to get and you can get just over 1% at the moment because

:51:50. > :51:54.the competition is good at this time because people want a little bit of

:51:55. > :52:01.money to be attracted into ISAs. And the banks want money as well, so

:52:02. > :52:07.what difference does it make and talk us through this? It is good

:52:08. > :52:15.news because it is an extra ?200 of additional interest you can earn

:52:16. > :52:21.because you are not paying the tax. The first ?1000 of any savings is

:52:22. > :52:26.tax-free. For higher rate taxpayers it is ?500. Additional rate

:52:27. > :52:31.taxpayers don't receive anything. It means it is making it a difficult

:52:32. > :52:36.decision for people. That is because for some types of ISA there is a

:52:37. > :52:40.discrepancy on what you can get on a cash ISA and the equivalent non- ISA

:52:41. > :52:45.account. So for some people now it might be better for them to take out

:52:46. > :52:50.a savings bond as a poster at fixed-rate ISA, because the interest

:52:51. > :52:55.rate you will earn after tax is within the savings allowance, it is

:52:56. > :53:02.better. You have to look forward. If interest rates rise, which we hope

:53:03. > :53:07.they will do, you might end up paying tax on your savings

:53:08. > :53:11.unnecessarily. So it can be quite complicated. If someone has a bit of

:53:12. > :53:17.money and they are thinking, I am not sure what to do, how should they

:53:18. > :53:21.decide? It is complicated. I have been trying to work out what the

:53:22. > :53:25.right thing is. It is down to the individual. For people who use the

:53:26. > :53:34.personal savings allowance, they probably need to think about using

:53:35. > :53:41.it even if the interest is lower for them because the net rate on the

:53:42. > :53:48.bond might be greater. If you are a higher rate taxpayer it is

:53:49. > :53:54.important. If you have ?20,000, take the best savings account you can and

:53:55. > :53:58.if in future use up all of your personal savings and you can move

:53:59. > :54:02.that money quite quickly and rapid in a ISA if necessary. Thank you. --

:54:03. > :54:12.wrap it in. During the First World War the

:54:13. > :54:15.government set up a national kitchen schemes EU could get a good meal for

:54:16. > :54:19.just ?1. Sounds like exceptional value. The idea was to help everyone

:54:20. > :54:22.access good food. Well, 100 years on, there are calls

:54:23. > :54:25.to revive the concept. Breakfast's Tim Muffett

:54:26. > :54:33.is in Liverpool to find out more. What to you get for your ?1? Well, a

:54:34. > :54:38.decent meal and it is pretty healthy as well. 100 years ago they were

:54:39. > :54:46.introduced by the government. Food shortages were in place. It was to

:54:47. > :54:51.help people eat healthily. So far for one-day only they have

:54:52. > :54:59.reintroduced here. Why reintroduce a national kitchen? 100 years ago this

:55:00. > :55:03.is what people relied on. It is some way you could come and get a cheap

:55:04. > :55:08.and nutritious meal and it didn't cost the earth. They are attractive

:55:09. > :55:18.places to come. Why reintroduce this? Obviously this was during

:55:19. > :55:24.wartime. You look at food banks today, the basic food bank, they

:55:25. > :55:29.have a social purpose, but a lot of them don't have a social eating

:55:30. > :55:33.component. Maybe people don't dine together today, or talk together,

:55:34. > :55:37.and all of the things it can believe in terms of dislocation, mental

:55:38. > :55:41.problems, it is a social thing to break red. The thing about the

:55:42. > :55:45.national kitchen in the First World War was people from all classes

:55:46. > :55:51.could come. Today we think about the poor use of food banks. In the First

:55:52. > :55:55.World War it was poor people but also rather upper-class snobby

:55:56. > :55:58.people like yourself. Thank you very much indeed. We will talk late about

:55:59. > :56:02.who will be coming on this evening. Natalie from the junk food project,

:05:35. > :05:39.issue linking security with some kind of trade deal, or that seems to

:05:57. > :06:01.handed over. We saw that being handed over to the EU by her

:06:02. > :06:04.ambassador in Brussels. Now, already the reaction among some senior EU

:06:05. > :06:09.politicians has been less than favourable. They've been using words

:06:10. > :06:12.such as blackmail. In fact, the European Parliament's chief

:06:13. > :06:15.negotiator said that he was only not using the word blackmail because he

:06:16. > :06:19.was a gentleman. This idea of linking these two has not gone down

:06:20. > :06:26.well. Here at Westminster, Government ministers have been keen

:06:27. > :06:29.to stress that they haven't been threatening EU partners and, in

:06:53. > :06:54.crass to try and mention that in the same breath almost as the trade

:07:38. > :07:40.have not improved and the coastguard has said it cannot resume the search

:07:41. > :07:44.unless conditions improve. All we know about this aircraft at the

:07:45. > :07:49.minute, it's privately owned. There were five individuals on board. We

:07:50. > :07:52.know it was destined to arrive in Dublin, but it left Milton Keynes

:07:53. > :07:57.yesterday morning shortly before midday. It was due to stop here at

:07:58. > :08:02.Caernarfon Airport. It did not arrive. All communications with the

:08:03. > :08:08.aircraft were lost. It went missing from the radar. The coastguard was

:08:09. > :08:13.alerted immediately and launched the search operation shortly before 4

:08:14. > :08:16.o'clock. Now that operation involved two coastguard helicopters that

:08:17. > :08:20.searched across North Wales right through to Dublin both via land and

:08:21. > :08:24.sea and unfortunately, due to these weather conditions that had to be

:08:25. > :08:29.called off quite late last night. The search operation was continued

:08:30. > :08:32.on land by North Wales Police, they've introduced Mountain Rescue

:08:33. > :08:36.Teams to search the land and that is continuing this morning. Now, we

:08:48. > :08:52.999 if they saw that helicopter at any point yesterday afternoon in the

:08:53. > :08:55.area. Now, the search should be continuing this morning, time is of

:08:56. > :08:59.the essence, but the coastguard will not allow that search to resume

:12:01. > :12:07.Matt will have the weather details coming up a little later on.

:12:08. > :12:09.Talking about your own mental health can be difficult and daunting -

:12:10. > :12:13.particularly if you're feeling vulnerable or struggling to cope.

:12:14. > :12:16.But sometimes a problem shared can, quite literally,

:12:17. > :12:20.That's why the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,

:12:33. > :12:44.When I started opening up to you and everyone around me, I wanted to get

:12:45. > :12:50.better, I wanted to live a life where I felt worthy of living. Thank

:12:51. > :12:54.God you did because from my point of view, that was realising that it was

:12:55. > :12:58.a serious mental health issue and that we had to treat it like that.

:12:59. > :13:06.That's why now we are talking about it. The hardest thing for me

:13:07. > :13:10.initially was talking. I'm not a big talker. I don't talk about it. I'm

:13:11. > :13:14.from the north of England, I'm from a working class family, we don't

:13:15. > :13:18.talk about our feelings. Yes, yes, it was no different for me, from a

:13:19. > :13:22.council estate in East London, it's just not something you spoke about.

:13:23. > :13:28.To me it seems a shame it's taken us all these years to be able to be

:13:29. > :13:35.open and vocal about things. It's crazy when it comes out, it comes

:13:36. > :13:40.from being vocal. I've seen you talk to other people, it's like a unique

:13:41. > :13:43.club. I'm only relieved when I'm with other people that have mental

:13:44. > :13:49.illness. If I see the eyes of another, we have this understanding

:13:50. > :13:52.#57bed that's the healing. What an incredible thing to see people be so

:13:53. > :13:54.honest and open about it. It's brilliant to see.

:13:55. > :13:57.Joining us now are Sarah Hesz and Katie Massie-Taylor who found

:13:58. > :14:02.they were helped by speaking to each other.

:14:03. > :14:08.You two found each other. How did that happen? We had very small

:14:09. > :14:12.babies and toddlers, we were in a rainy playground, about November,

:14:13. > :14:16.no-one else was there because no-one wants to be. It was bleak. We were

:14:17. > :14:20.knackered and hadn't had an adult conversation for days, it felt like,

:14:21. > :14:29.and I went over to Katie and basically asked her to be my friend.

:14:30. > :14:33.But yes, the moment was kind of desperation. It's hard being at home

:14:34. > :14:37.with two small kids and you need company, you need to talk, you need

:14:38. > :14:41.real life interaction. Lots of mums will recognise that picture you've

:14:42. > :14:45.painted there, it's very familiar to lots of us, but what did you think

:14:46. > :14:48.then, I have a challenge with my mental health, did you think that,

:14:49. > :14:53.or did you just feel isolated and lonely? I think that the last bit,

:14:54. > :14:57.the isolation and the lonelines. To be honest, as new mums will know,

:14:58. > :15:01.you are in such a haze it's difficult to think about what you

:15:02. > :15:06.are when you have a small baby. You lose confidence and a sense of In a

:15:07. > :15:15.way self-, it's just the long days by yourself can take a toll. The

:15:16. > :15:19.thing is, the people you speak to. You describe the scenario, you

:15:20. > :15:24.approached Katie, have I got that the right way around? Yes. What was

:15:25. > :15:28.your immediate reaction? I was hoping someone might do that for the

:15:29. > :15:34.previous few weeks after having my second baby. I used to wander out

:15:35. > :15:39.and hope that someone would have a conversation with me and yes, Sarah

:15:40. > :15:43.coming up really changed. It was a very pivotal moment in how I felt

:15:44. > :15:47.during maternity leave because we went from having long days alone by

:15:48. > :15:51.ourselves to just spending every day together. We wouldn't do anything

:15:52. > :15:55.special but we just had more fun together. How was it that you

:15:56. > :15:56.weren't able to share whatever it was you were feeling up until that

:15:57. > :16:11.point? Did you bottle things up? Your husband goes to work and

:16:12. > :16:15.doesn't come back for ten hours. Other friends of mine were at work

:16:16. > :16:19.all day. It is having local friends nearby who are going through the

:16:20. > :16:24.same thing as you. That's what is so key I think when you are a new mum.

:16:25. > :16:29.How important is it, in the films, we see people who perhaps are in

:16:30. > :16:33.other walks of life, talking so honestly about some of the bleak

:16:34. > :16:44.times they have experienced. I think it is amazing.

:16:45. > :16:48.You see people having these important conversations which have

:16:49. > :16:53.changed their life. It is really exciting to see these people. And

:16:54. > :16:57.there are highs and lows in these chats. There is a lot of laughs,

:16:58. > :17:02.which sounds counterintuitive, but sometimes it is very funny when

:17:03. > :17:11.people say very heartfelt things. There is quite a lot of comedy along

:17:12. > :17:16.the way. People have overcome a lot of the challenges because they have

:17:17. > :17:20.had these initial conversations, certainly we did. And you can see

:17:21. > :17:24.the sense of relief, as people recount their stories of having

:17:25. > :17:37.those conversations and it really lifting.

:17:38. > :17:45.Do you think back and think, how different it could have been if this

:17:46. > :17:50.had not happened? Absolutely, it is a life-changing moment. We feel so

:17:51. > :17:54.passionately about getting mums together, just sharing the good bits

:17:55. > :17:59.and the bad bits together. Relaunched something called Marched

:18:00. > :18:02.Together. Very recently, we heard the Duchess of Cambridge talking

:18:03. > :18:07.about motherhood. She said it has been rewarding and wonderful,

:18:08. > :18:12.however, even at times it has been a huge challenge, even for me, who has

:18:13. > :18:18.a support. You must be delighted to hear someone with all of her help

:18:19. > :18:22.saying that? It can be great, if we are all more honest about the

:18:23. > :18:25.challenges, like the long days alone, and the hormones and all of

:18:26. > :18:30.the things that she did such a wonderful job of describing fish

:18:31. > :18:34.people will go into it with their eyes open and know that they're

:18:35. > :18:38.going to need a support network. It's just not a natural behaviour to

:18:39. > :18:45.be spending so long alone with a small child that gives nothing back.

:18:46. > :18:50.Matt is out enjoying the dawn chorus for us this morning.

:18:51. > :18:58.Actually, have we missed the dawn chorus? I think you have, that was a

:18:59. > :19:02.long while ago! I am in Bedfordshire, the RSPB's

:20:03. > :20:09.two showers to contend with, but very few in number. And they will be

:20:10. > :20:12.rather fleeting. The rest of the day, looking dry and increasingly

:20:13. > :20:14.warm across the Midlands, East Anglia and the south-east of

:20:46. > :20:48.even get up to 22 or 23 Celsius in this area in certain areas this

:20:49. > :21:03.afternoon. With the winds still in the south

:21:04. > :21:06.and quite a blustery day to come, temperatures will stay in double

:21:07. > :21:17.figures. Friday morning starts off on a mild note. Wettest of all first

:21:18. > :21:23.thing, north-west England, parts of Northern Ireland and into Scotland.

:21:24. > :21:28.The rain, easing northwards, maybe lingering around Orkney and Shetland

:21:29. > :21:33.the longest. Sunny spells to take us into the afternoon. Not quite as

:21:34. > :21:45.warm as it will be today, but highs up towards 18 or 19, warmest across

:21:46. > :21:51.East Anglia. Saturday, a mixture of sunshine and spring showers. Sunday

:21:52. > :22:03.is looking the driest day of the weekend. Back to Charlie and Sally.

:22:04. > :22:08.It looks absolutely magnificent there, Matt. See you later on.

:22:09. > :22:12.The conflict in Syria has been raging for more than seven years,

:22:13. > :22:14.causing devastation for people living throughout the country.

:22:15. > :22:17.What began as a peaceful uprising against the Syrian President Bashar

:22:18. > :22:19.al-Assad has escalated into a full-scale civil war

:22:20. > :22:22.which has claimed the lives of more than a quarter of a million people.

:22:23. > :22:25.Many more have fled the country, but what is life like

:22:26. > :22:31.We can speak now to our chief international correspondent

:22:32. > :22:34.Lyse Doucet, who joins us from the city of Homs

:22:35. > :22:44.Sadly, we are used to seeing desperate pictures from where you

:22:45. > :22:50.are, but what is life like for the people who managed to stay? Well,

:22:51. > :22:54.Homs is a snapshot of the war in Syria. In the early years of the

:22:55. > :22:59.war, it saw some of the biggest of the protests and some of the worst

:23:00. > :23:02.of the fighting. The opposition then called this city the capital of

:23:03. > :23:07.their revolution. But now the last of the rebels are leaving their last

:23:08. > :23:12.stronghold in the city. Which means that in a few weeks' time, Syria's

:23:13. > :23:15.third-largest city will be back in government hands. But the war is not

:23:16. > :23:19.over, we heard air strikes last night, with fighting in the

:23:20. > :23:25.countryside and the neighbouring areas. When you go across this city,

:23:26. > :23:31.you can see the skyline behind me, entire neighbourhoods, mile after

:23:32. > :23:35.mile, utterly ruined. It will be such a job to rebuild it, not just a

:23:36. > :23:50.physical structure but the social fabric as well.

:23:51. > :23:57.All Syrian children will be back in school, they said but they are not

:23:58. > :24:01.that pledge. How hard is that challenge? It is a huge challenge,

:24:02. > :24:05.we are talking about millions of children to get back to education in

:24:06. > :24:10.school. It is not only about getting them back to school, but also about

:24:11. > :24:15.the reconstruction of the school buildings, getting the teachers,

:24:16. > :24:25.many of them are in another country. So, getting qualified teachers,

:24:26. > :24:28.books and materials and also the children who are living in hard to

:24:29. > :24:37.reach areas. It is even more difficult for them to get them ready

:24:38. > :24:44.for the baccalaureate exam. Because they are in a besieged a region. So,

:24:45. > :24:47.it is a huge challenge but we are getting there. You are also dealing

:24:48. > :24:54.with the displaced, families still arriving, they will need shelter

:24:55. > :24:59.Edwin yes. But then, together with the department of education, it is

:25:00. > :25:05.quite strict saying that this time, no schools can be used as shelters.

:25:06. > :25:13.But the need is humongous, people are taking the schools over for

:25:14. > :25:17.shelter and homes. Use that's why Unicef is promoting not only back

:25:18. > :25:22.campaign, but also self learning, so that they can can continue learning

:25:23. > :25:27.and make sure there is no generation lost in Syria. Thank you very much

:25:28. > :25:34.for joining us here. When you travel across, you can see even in the

:25:35. > :25:39.midst of the ruins a little bit of life returning, some people able to

:25:40. > :25:43.repair their homes. Some districts only get two hours of electricity

:25:44. > :25:47.each day. The Syrian pound has lost so much value, people are struggling

:25:48. > :25:52.to make ends meet. Syrians are hoping against hope that the worst

:25:53. > :25:55.of the war is over. Even though this is a very divided country, so many

:25:56. > :25:57.Syrians want nothing more than for this conflict to end. Sadly, that's

:25:58. > :26:12.still not incite. We will be speaking to David Davis,

:26:13. > :26:16.the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, in just a few

:26:17. > :26:23.minutes. Before that, we're going to go to Steph. People still spending a

:26:24. > :26:30.lot of money? Yes, it is interesting, isn't it? People are

:26:31. > :26:33.still spending, but a lot of that money is going on credit cards, and

:26:34. > :26:38.that is what we are going to talk about this morning.

:26:39. > :26:42.A credit card boom and a rise in the minimum wage -

:26:43. > :26:45.Steph has more on that, and the other main business stories.

:26:46. > :26:47.Credit card borrowing has risen at its fastest rate

:26:48. > :26:49.in more than a decade, with shoppers putting nearly

:26:50. > :26:51.half a billion pounds on plastic last month.

:26:52. > :26:53.That works out at about ?20 million a day.

:26:54. > :26:56.Spending on credit cards grew 9.3% in the year to February.

:26:57. > :26:58.It is the fastest growth rate since February 2006.

:26:59. > :27:01.This week the Bank of England began a major review of lending

:27:02. > :27:05.Up to 2.3 million workers will get a pay rise this Saturday,

:27:06. > :27:08.The National Living Wage for over-24s will go up

:27:09. > :27:10.The National Living Wage for over-25s will go up

:27:11. > :27:15.The minimum wage will go up varying amounts depending on a worker's age.

:27:16. > :27:18.But there are warnings it will cause pressures for employers.

:27:19. > :27:20.We will be talking more about this on the programme tomorrow.

:27:21. > :27:23.Remember when the Samsung's Note 7 phones had to be recalled

:27:24. > :27:27.Well, now, the phone maker is hoping to win back customers

:27:28. > :27:29.with the launch of the latest phone, the S8.

:27:30. > :27:35.Samsung was hit hard by the recall, costing them more than ?4 billion.

:27:36. > :30:57.Coming up in a moment on the BBC News Channel is Business Live.

:30:58. > :31:10.Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent.

:31:11. > :31:16.Plans to repatriate more than 40 years worth of powers

:31:17. > :31:19.from the European Union will start this morning with the publication

:31:20. > :31:23.The Government paper intends to convert thousands of EU

:31:24. > :31:27.House of Commons officials have described the process as one

:31:28. > :31:35.of the largest legislative projects ever undertaken in the UK.

:31:36. > :31:42.Let's speak to the Secretary of State for Exiting the EU, David

:31:43. > :31:43.Davis, speaking to us from our London studio. Thank you for your

:31:44. > :31:48.time this morning, can we pick up on the reaction to the notification

:31:49. > :31:52.yesterday of what our plans are and our negotiating terms. The first

:31:53. > :31:56.issue that has arisen, possibly for lots of people the first indicator

:31:57. > :32:01.of how difficult this may well be, is the fact that Theresa May has in

:32:02. > :32:06.some people's eyes, certainly many in Europe, linked security to trade

:32:07. > :32:10.negotiations. Why are we putting security on the table as a

:32:11. > :32:14.bargaining chip? It is not a bargaining chip, but she was doing,

:32:15. > :32:22.in a letter which was seen widely across Europe as very positive, I

:32:23. > :32:24.spoke to basta numbers people yesterday afternoon and all sounded

:32:25. > :32:28.positive, but what she was pointing out, quite rightly, is full both

:32:29. > :32:32.ourselves and Europeans, if we don't replace the Justice and home affairs

:32:33. > :32:38.arrangements we currently have with Europe which disappear when we leave

:32:39. > :32:42.Europe then it will create problems. We have got to do a security

:32:43. > :32:47.negotiation in order to replace what we have, it is as simple as that.

:32:48. > :32:52.Some people say they understand the issue of going in hard on bargaining

:32:53. > :32:55.and also saves simultaneously there are sometimes things that you want

:32:56. > :33:05.to separate out because it is the right thing to do, and people, by

:33:06. > :33:08.saying today separating the safety of European counterparts, those who

:33:09. > :33:11.live in the rest of Europe, we should separate that from the rest

:33:12. > :33:14.of negotiations because it is non-negotiable, we should still care

:33:15. > :33:19.and offer the same levels of security as we do now. Let's be

:33:20. > :33:23.plain, that is what we want to do but it has to be negotiated because

:33:24. > :33:28.we have got to replace what currently exists, the Justice and

:33:29. > :33:33.home affairs strand of European law, because that is going to disappear.

:33:34. > :33:35.As we leave the European Union, that arrangement will disappear so we

:33:36. > :33:39.have to replace it with something else. What she was doing was

:33:40. > :33:43.pointing out if we do not do it it will be bad for both of us, which

:33:44. > :33:47.seems practical, sensible, responsible from a Prime Minister

:33:48. > :33:51.who was the longest serving Home Secretary in modern times and one

:33:52. > :33:55.who negotiated many of these arrangements with Europol, the

:33:56. > :33:58.European arrest warrant, data exchange arrangements, which help

:33:59. > :34:05.protect us and Europeans, and that is what we are intending to do. What

:34:06. > :34:08.we are after is a very broad, comprehensive agreement that covers

:34:09. > :34:11.everything, and she was people security and at the same time

:34:12. > :34:16.secures people's prosperity, and we want to do that for us and for

:34:17. > :34:20.Europe because we want a strong, powerful, safe, stable Europe as

:34:21. > :34:24.well. On the issue of being plain about things, let's look at what

:34:25. > :34:27.Angela Merkel has said. She immediately rejected the idea of

:34:28. > :34:32.sorting out the so-called divorce deal before the terms of beauty

:34:33. > :34:41.business. That is categorically different from what you want to do,

:34:42. > :34:43.you want to sit down, am I right, with your counterpart and do the two

:34:44. > :34:46.things together? Angela Merkel has said that is not going to happen.

:34:47. > :34:50.Firstly it was a bit more subtle, if you will forgive me. Secondly,

:34:51. > :34:55.negotiations have not started yet, as you said earlier people take

:34:56. > :34:58.strong position at the beginning, we are not going to engage in a

:34:59. > :35:03.negotiation until after the council of 27 leaders have given a response,

:35:04. > :35:07.which will happen in a month's time, so the proper thing is to wait for

:35:08. > :35:16.that. In terms of the substance, yes, we want to do things together

:35:17. > :35:18.because we have a lot to do and want to get on with it and we think we

:35:19. > :35:20.shouldn't wait on making decisions on the trade arrangements, ongoing

:35:21. > :35:24.security arrangements any longer than we have do. One area where we

:35:25. > :35:29.do agree is we all want to sort out the issue of European citizens, the

:35:30. > :35:33.rights and privileges, protection of them, European citizens there and

:35:34. > :35:37.British citizens on the continent, and do that as soon as possible. So

:35:38. > :35:41.far you have not done much to reassure people, this is a message

:35:42. > :35:45.from someone who got in touch is that, how it's David Davis going to

:35:46. > :35:50.ensure the rights of expats in Europe? My family and I are in

:35:51. > :35:53.France and feel we are living with the sword of Damocles hanging by a

:35:54. > :36:00.frayed thread above our heads. When will he take the stance of offering

:36:01. > :36:03.rather than demanding? You heard the calls before but now we are in the

:36:04. > :36:09.real thing so why can't you make that bold claim? The reason we have

:36:10. > :36:15.taken the strategy we have is to protect everybody, those in the UK

:36:16. > :36:20.but also Brits in France, Spain, Italy and all the other European

:36:21. > :36:23.countries. And we raised, before Christmas, this with the other

:36:24. > :36:27.European countries and they didn't want to deal with it then, so we

:36:28. > :36:31.want to get on with it as soon as possible and that is why we wanted

:36:32. > :36:35.to be first on the agenda. That is what it will be, I'm quite sure,

:36:36. > :36:38.everybody will agree once the negotiations start it will be first

:36:39. > :36:48.on the agenda and we will resolve both sides of the question as fast

:36:49. > :36:55.as possible. Devo Rod Studd, who he will be sitting opposite, have you

:36:56. > :36:59.spoken to him yet... Yes, we have a few conversations. He is the

:37:00. > :37:14.principal negotiator for the European Parliament. He will be

:37:15. > :37:18.involved but not directly. His quote yesterday, he said, you can never be

:37:19. > :37:26.better off outside than inside. He said it is not revenge or punishment

:37:27. > :37:30.but pure logic. I don't see how that is logical. If we arrange a good

:37:31. > :37:36.free trade agreement between ourselves and the European Union, I

:37:37. > :37:39.will not say straightforward, it is a big, ambitious project but it is

:37:40. > :37:43.possible to do, and at the same time from our point of view we improve

:37:44. > :37:48.trade with the rest of the world, how is that logically less well off

:37:49. > :37:53.than we are now? Can I ask one other thing? I notice from the other side

:37:54. > :37:58.of the table, as it were, European Union saying clearly they want to be

:37:59. > :38:01.transparent, they want the public to know everything about effectively

:38:02. > :38:04.day by Day what is going on in the talks. In the past you said you

:38:05. > :38:09.don't want to play it like that, will you be forced into a situation

:38:10. > :38:13.where we, and more importantly the general public, will know what is

:38:14. > :38:36.going on? On the contrary, you are misrepresenting my position.

:38:37. > :38:39.What I've said from the beginning, the very first hearing I had with

:38:40. > :38:42.one of the Parliament select committees, I said in terms we want

:38:43. > :38:44.to be as open as is possible with British Parliament and therefore the

:38:45. > :38:46.British public, and indeed we undertake to ensure the British

:38:47. > :38:48.Parliament gets at least as much information as the European

:38:49. > :38:50.Parliament and therefore the European institutions. We have also

:38:51. > :38:53.said in negotiations sometimes things are not done in the public

:38:54. > :38:55.sphere, some of them are done more quietly in order to facilitate

:38:56. > :38:57.progress, and that will probably happen, I imagine the European

:38:58. > :39:00.commission will do that. Our aim at the end of this is to get the best

:39:01. > :39:03.possible deal for Britain, incidentally the best possible deal

:39:04. > :39:07.for Europe as well, because it is in both our interests, and we will do

:39:08. > :39:12.that as openly as possible. David Davis, thank you very much for your

:39:13. > :39:17.time, Secretary of State for Exiting the EU Rabin union.

:39:18. > :39:19.You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:39:20. > :39:21.A privately-owned helicopter with five people on board has

:39:22. > :39:24.It's thought the craft was travelling from Milton Keynes

:39:25. > :39:26.to Dublin, when it went missing over Caernarfon Bay.

:39:27. > :39:28.Rescue teams have been searching parts of Snowdonia

:39:29. > :39:33.A federal judge in the US state of Hawaii has extended

:39:34. > :39:38.the suspension of President Trump's travel ban for an indefinite period.

:39:39. > :39:41.It means Mr Trump will be barred from enforcing his revised ban

:39:42. > :39:48.on six mostly Muslim states while it is contested in court.

:39:49. > :39:50.Public Health England has published guidelines for the amount of sugar

:39:51. > :39:52.that should be in foods, such as breakfast cereals

:39:53. > :39:56.The aim is to reduce the amount of sugar children consume by 20%

:39:57. > :40:02.People can expect to see a reduction in the size of products.

:40:03. > :40:08.We expect people to see over time smaller chocolate bars, smaller

:40:09. > :40:12.cakes, smaller biscuits, particularly when they eat away from

:40:13. > :40:16.home in family restaurant and so on. We also expect people not to notice

:40:17. > :40:21.the changes because we know if changes are gradually made to our

:40:22. > :40:24.food generally we don't notice them, bread is now 40% less salty than ten

:40:25. > :40:29.years ago, I bet you haven't noticed.

:40:30. > :40:33.Senior executives from companies like Microsoft, Facebook and Google

:40:34. > :40:37.will meet the Home Secretary later to discuss ways to tackle extremism

:40:38. > :40:43.online. Amber Rudd will ask them to do more to help counter terrorism by

:40:44. > :40:45.focusing on areas like extremist content and encryption.

:40:46. > :40:50.Organisers of the Oscars say they will continue to work with the

:40:51. > :40:53.accountancy firm PwC despite the famous mistake which led to a La La

:40:54. > :40:57.Land being announced as one of the best picture award. Let's look at

:40:58. > :41:01.the moment Hollywood realised someone had not followed the script.

:41:02. > :41:05.To make sure the mistake does not happen again, there will be an extra

:41:06. > :41:09.accountant on hand and electronic devices will be banned backstage.

:41:10. > :41:13.I'm not sure what part of electronic devices played, was it not just an

:41:14. > :41:18.envelope mistake? Few envelopes, maybe?

:41:19. > :41:23.I don't know. Should we remind everybody that it is Warren Beatty's

:41:24. > :41:27.birthday today. And there we have Warren Beatty right at the centre of

:41:28. > :41:29.that scandal at the Oscars! And he often watches Breakfast, so

:41:30. > :41:38.we should say happy birthday! Coming up here on Breakfast

:41:39. > :41:47.this morning... First of all I will show you some

:41:48. > :41:51.recipes with four. Delia Smith has been cooking on TV the decades, we

:41:52. > :41:53.will show you how her programmes are being used to stir up memories for

:41:54. > :41:58.with dementia. They were the place where

:41:59. > :42:01.a meal cost just ?1. 100 years on from the introduction

:42:02. > :42:03.of National Kitchens, we'll hear from one man hoping

:42:04. > :42:11.to revive them. My dad used to say, David, laughter

:42:12. > :42:16.is the best medicine. Which is why, when I was six, I nearly died from

:42:17. > :42:20.diphtheria. Dad, I can't breathe! Knock, knock...

:42:21. > :42:21.And, biomedical science isn't the most obvious

:42:22. > :42:23.route into stand-up, but it worked for Phoenix

:42:24. > :42:27.After 8.30am, he'll be here to tell us about his unusual

:42:28. > :42:32.He was in fact a biomedical scientist, that big isn't a joke, he

:42:33. > :42:40.really was! If a picture could tell a story,

:42:41. > :42:44.this surely would be it? Guess, a very difficult race for Jo

:42:45. > :42:47.Pavey at the 2007 world Championships. She crossed the line

:42:48. > :42:52.in fourth place but ten years on she will receive a bronze medal because

:42:53. > :42:56.an athlete who finished ahead of her has been disqualified from the race

:42:57. > :42:59.for doping offences, so you can imagine mixed emotions and a bit of

:43:00. > :43:09.a what if moment because, had she won the medal ten years ago, how

:43:10. > :43:11.different things might have been for her, perhaps sponsorship deals and

:43:12. > :43:13.things? But she has the medal, at least, a long time coming for her.

:43:14. > :43:15.She's won European medals and Commonwealth medals but now ten

:43:16. > :43:17.years after the event, she'll receive that major global

:43:18. > :43:27.medal that's missing from her collection.

:43:28. > :43:29.Turkey's Elvan Abeylegesse won the silver but has been

:43:30. > :43:30.retrospectively disqualified for doping.

:43:31. > :43:32.Which means Pavey's been promoted to third.

:43:33. > :43:34.Johanna Konta's become the first British woman to reach

:43:35. > :43:38.She came from behind to beat third seed Simona Halep.

:43:39. > :43:40.The Romanian took the first set 6-3 but Konta recovered to level

:43:41. > :43:47.Konta took complete control in the deciding set,

:43:48. > :43:50.winning 6-2 to earn a place in the last four, where she'll

:43:51. > :43:54.Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez says he wants to play in a team

:43:55. > :44:03.that is 'winning things' and has a 'winning mentality'.

:44:04. > :44:06.His comments came at a promotional event in Chile and will add

:44:07. > :44:09.to speculation that he could leave in the summer.

:45:21. > :45:20.Who knows? It will be bad for a while, anyway.

:45:21. > :45:42.Thank you very much. The UK coastguard has

:45:43. > :45:44.suspended its search for a private helicopter which went missing over

:45:45. > :45:47.Caernarfon Bay in north Wales Five people were onboard

:45:48. > :45:50.the aircraft, which was en route to Dublin from Milton Keynes

:45:51. > :45:52.when it disappeared. Let's get the very latest

:45:53. > :45:55.from Mark Rodaway from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency

:45:56. > :45:58.who can update us. The maritime search was suspended

:45:59. > :46:00.last night, we had to macro coastguard helicopters to covering

:46:01. > :46:07.the intended flight path of the helicopter -- two Coast Guard

:46:08. > :46:10.helicopters. They covered that very well, to within 15 miles of the

:46:11. > :46:16.Irish coast and then they did the return leg, but the wiry is running

:46:17. > :46:21.-- the enquiries running concurrently has shifted the focus

:46:22. > :46:27.in land and in a police led operation we are now supporting

:46:28. > :46:32.within the Snowdonia national park. The latest is that we have seven

:46:33. > :46:39.mountain rescue teams committed to that search along with a dog search

:46:40. > :46:44.team. Conditions are very challenging indeed. The mountain

:46:45. > :46:49.rescue teams are reporting visibility down to ten feet at

:46:50. > :46:54.times. So they are having to proceed with a degree of caution and that is

:46:55. > :46:57.also hampering the Coast Guard air rescue coordination centre in

:46:58. > :47:02.committing more coastguards and search aircraft to support that

:47:03. > :47:07.effort. But we are told by the Met office that conditions will steadily

:47:08. > :47:11.improve as the morning moves on and as soon as we have the ability to

:47:12. > :47:17.safely put Coast Guard helicopters into the mountain is we will do. If

:47:18. > :47:23.you could clarify one point, you said enquiries running concurrently

:47:24. > :47:28.with the search going on yesterday, what do you mean by that? You might

:47:29. > :47:33.have information that suggests the helicopter might have come down on

:47:34. > :47:36.land after all? There is a range of enquiries that we will engage with

:47:37. > :47:40.and we will work closely with air traffic control and we are looking

:47:41. > :47:48.at a review of radar information, and obviously we will look for

:47:49. > :47:53.mobile phone data. All of that combined has given us a new focus in

:47:54. > :48:08.and around the Snowdonia national park. Thanks for joining us. In a

:48:09. > :48:12.few minutes we will be talking about dementia, and a new project, which

:48:13. > :48:15.is showing old clips from television and radio and seeing how it helps

:48:16. > :48:20.people with their memory, people suffering from dementia. It seems to

:48:21. > :48:24.help them enormously, that is the interesting thing.

:48:25. > :48:28.Now a look at this morning's weather.

:48:29. > :48:35.Matt has been out with the dawn chorus. That was a couple of hours

:48:36. > :48:40.ago. It's early was, we are at the RSPB headquarters, stunning

:48:41. > :48:44.location, this is the kind of outside broadcast that I like. If

:48:45. > :48:50.you are one of the people who were out in the garden at the end of

:48:51. > :48:55.January taking part in the big garden project, the results are out

:48:56. > :49:00.today. Very good morning to you, Jamie. It has been a good year for

:49:01. > :49:05.the birds from the bird watch survey, but there have been a few

:49:06. > :49:13.losers. Bluetits have not done so well, great tips, this is down to

:49:14. > :49:19.the poor weather last spring. The lack of caterpillars that they need

:49:20. > :49:27.to feed their checks will stop who were the big winners? Robbins are

:49:28. > :49:31.doing very well, waxwings, Red Wings, all turning up in people's

:49:32. > :49:36.gardens, and they are finding food, berries and seeds and that is thanks

:49:37. > :49:39.to people giving nature home. Adding a bit of extra wildlife to your

:49:40. > :49:45.garden is always a big boost, and the weather has a big part to play?

:49:46. > :49:48.The easterly winds and the cold weather in Scandinavia and Russia

:49:49. > :49:52.will have brought the migrants down, the waxwings would have come further

:49:53. > :50:01.south and west in search of the juicy berries. Thanks for joining

:50:02. > :50:04.us. There will be more online in terms of the results, but now back

:50:05. > :50:08.to the weather forecast. A lovely start here, but not the same

:50:09. > :50:11.everywhere, because whilst we have the sunshine and warmth in the

:50:12. > :50:16.eastern parts of the country, in the west it is a different story. The

:50:17. > :50:21.rain will come and go. These are the details. Bursts of rain around at

:50:22. > :50:26.the moment, and there is some brighter weather to be had in these

:50:27. > :50:29.areas and it went rain all day long. The far west of Wales looks like it

:50:30. > :50:33.will stay rather grey and misty and damp, and that extends through the

:50:34. > :50:37.Irish Sea, around Cumbria, north-west England, the same story,

:50:38. > :50:43.splashes of rain, but Northern Ireland largely drive. Into

:50:44. > :50:49.Scotland, not a bad day in store, most places dry, there is some rain

:50:50. > :50:52.around, but a warm start to the East of Scotland compare the two recent

:50:53. > :50:58.days, as is the case across the North East of England, but a few

:50:59. > :51:03.spots of rain. Very few showers in number in the south and South East,

:51:04. > :51:07.and most able will be starting the day dry and it will be a day of dry

:51:08. > :51:11.and sunny conditions in East Anglia and the south-east and the Midlands.

:51:12. > :51:17.Some rain close to the Irish Sea, heavy bursts, especially this

:51:18. > :51:22.afternoon in parts of Scotland, as we go through the second half of the

:51:23. > :51:27.day. There will be a few gaps anyway rain all day long. Even where you

:51:28. > :51:31.have rain and cloud, temperatures have had a boost, reaching the

:51:32. > :51:36.mid-teens foremost and towards parts of the Midlands and East Anglia,

:51:37. > :51:42.even the low 20s, 23 the potential high this afternoon, to the north of

:51:43. > :51:45.London. We stick with the mild conditions, but wetter across those

:51:46. > :51:51.in the West and parts of Scotland, and heavy bursts to take us into the

:51:52. > :51:57.morning. A fairly cloudy start a Friday morning, mild, not as windy,

:51:58. > :51:59.patchy rain in the East, and some of the wettest conditions will be

:52:00. > :52:05.north-west England, Eastern Northern Ireland and across Scotland. The

:52:06. > :52:10.afternoon on Friday across most parts of UK looking dry and sunny

:52:11. > :52:13.spells, not as warm as today, but given the fact it is much, still

:52:14. > :52:19.feeling very pleasant when the sunshine is out. -- it is March.

:52:20. > :52:24.Saturday turning cooler, typical spring day, sunshine and showers.

:52:25. > :52:29.When you get a downpour it could be heavy for time, potentially hail as

:52:30. > :52:33.well, turning cooler, and that will lead to a chilly start on Sunday,

:52:34. > :52:37.but that is the driest day of the weekend with plenty of sunshine

:52:38. > :52:43.around. The weekend is a mixture of two halves, as is today. Wettest in

:52:44. > :52:47.the West and driest in the east, but here it is a stunning start to the

:52:48. > :52:56.day, and we could see highs of around 22-23 degrees. Back to the

:52:57. > :53:01.studio. STUDIO: I love the fact you have brought us a song -- sunny

:53:02. > :53:03.forecast all morning. Whether it's an old TV

:53:04. > :53:06.programme, a picture or footage of a world event -

:53:07. > :53:08.all can trigger memories for people As part of a project to help

:53:09. > :53:13.people with dementia, In a moment we'll meet one man who's

:53:14. > :53:18.been using the service, but first let's have a look at some

:53:19. > :53:22.of the material on offer. I'm going to start off by showing

:53:23. > :53:26.you a few recipes for offal. First of all I've got what I think

:53:27. > :53:32.is a lovely winter dish and this Oxtail really has the most

:53:33. > :53:35.delicious flavour. I've got three bags which were all

:53:36. > :53:38.made in exactly the same way, but if you make them different sizes

:53:39. > :53:40.you can use them ARCHIVE NEWS: After her gallant

:54:11. > :54:16.who has dementia and Norman Alm, who's has been working as an advisor

:54:17. > :54:26.on the RemArc project. Thanks for agreeing to talk to us

:54:27. > :54:28.about this because I know you have or would he been diagnosed with

:54:29. > :54:33.dementia and you have some challenges that you have to work

:54:34. > :54:37.with everyday -- you have already been diagnosed. You have been

:54:38. > :54:46.watching old television clips, how has that help? It brings back

:54:47. > :54:59.memories. All programmes that we used to watch. The generation game.

:55:00. > :55:05.Come dancing. Z cars. Dixon of Dock Green, that is going back a long

:55:06. > :55:09.while. It really is. It gets your memory thinking about things and it

:55:10. > :55:12.is really good. The idea is that seeing something like that will jog

:55:13. > :55:16.your memory and you will remember other things, as a result, is that

:55:17. > :55:22.what has happened? That is what happens, yes. What kind of thing?

:55:23. > :55:35.What we used to do in the olden days for top when I was younger. Many

:55:36. > :55:41.moons ago. We used to go to the clubs. Dance halls. It brings back

:55:42. > :55:47.memories. I can't remember much about when I was younger. The bill

:55:48. > :55:52.will understand, listening to you, and hearing your struggle to

:55:53. > :55:56.remember little bits, the first thing they will think how brave of

:55:57. > :55:59.you to come on and talk about it, because it is perfect evidence of

:56:00. > :56:07.the struggle that people have on a daily basis just to remember little

:56:08. > :56:11.things. Dementia attacks short-term memory, and we need that to do

:56:12. > :56:16.practically anything during the day, especially conversation, and we lose

:56:17. > :56:23.the ability to communicate. We made a discovery and that is if you have

:56:24. > :56:26.a very large collection of publicly available photographs and film clips

:56:27. > :56:32.and music, this can stimulate the personal memories of people with

:56:33. > :56:39.dementia and they can then tell stories, and they don't look at this

:56:40. > :56:44.for what it is, they see details and then they can tell their personal

:56:45. > :56:48.story. When you watch footage from many years ago, does it feel

:56:49. > :56:56.different to you compared to when you watch television every day? Very

:56:57. > :57:03.much. Very old-fashioned. LAUGHTER I can't believe some of the

:57:04. > :57:08.programmes we used to watch. It's interesting, we were speaking before

:57:09. > :57:13.you came on, and I was asking you about the job you used to have and

:57:14. > :57:19.you instantly were able to tell me the job you did and where you work.

:57:20. > :57:25.It must be so frustrating, the bits that are there and the bits that

:57:26. > :57:29.aren't. Yes, if you ask me what I did yesterday, I can't tell you. But

:57:30. > :57:37.you can tell me the job that you had many years ago. Yes, it is very

:57:38. > :57:41.strange full stop very frustrating. Norman, how important is it that

:57:42. > :57:48.people who have dementia are able to communicate in a sociable way? It is

:57:49. > :57:53.vital, this is what makes us human. They can get a bit of mum and dad

:57:54. > :57:57.back from their carers, but for the professional carers in their care

:57:58. > :58:01.home, they can get to know the whole person and not just as a patient

:58:02. > :58:09.they are looking after. You have a lot of family, Derek. Four

:58:10. > :58:12.granddaughters, yes. Do you find that people are sympathetic and they

:58:13. > :58:16.understand the problems that you are facing in terms of the things that

:58:17. > :58:24.go missing? Some people do and some don't. I find people say, well, you

:58:25. > :58:30.look OK, but how are you supposed to look? I don't look any different

:58:31. > :58:36.from you, but the problem is I have a memory problem. And one problem,

:58:37. > :58:43.you wouldn't know there was anything, any problems. Yes, there

:58:44. > :58:49.is nothing to see, if you have a broken leg, people can see that, but

:58:50. > :58:53.you can't see what is wrong with me. How can people who are watching at

:58:54. > :58:59.home, who have family members with dementia, how can they access this?

:59:00. > :59:05.What can they do to enhance the lives of people whose memory might

:59:06. > :59:09.be going? The system is called the RemArc Project ended is on the BBC

:59:10. > :59:14.website, very easy to find, it is free to use and has been designed to

:59:15. > :59:17.be very simple and easy to use and these days people are using tablets,

:59:18. > :59:24.and the touch-screen works very well for this situation. Very easy to get

:59:25. > :59:27.to. The general principle for people with dementia is to go with them, if

:59:28. > :59:30.they want to talk about the past, and if they are living in the past,

:59:31. > :59:36.go with that. They can talk freely about the past. I've seen people

:59:37. > :59:40.using these systems, like the BBC system, and when you come in the

:59:41. > :59:43.room, you can feel there is no dementia there because the person is

:59:44. > :59:47.talking away and the stories are coming out, and because of the vast

:59:48. > :59:52.amount of stuff and the technology which allows instant access to it.

:59:53. > :59:57.Norman, thanks, and Derek, thanks for joining us. We appreciate you

:59:58. > :00:01.sharing your story with us. We will make sure that the details of the

:00:02. > :00:06.scheme are on the BBC breakfast website, as well. The project is

:00:07. > :00:10.called RemArc Project. Imagine going to a restaurant

:00:11. > :00:13.where the meal costs just ?1. That was the aim of National

:00:14. > :00:16.Kitchens, set up by the Government during the First World War to help

:00:17. > :00:20.ensure everyone had access to food. Well, 100 years on, there are calls

:00:21. > :00:22.to revive the concept. Breakfast's Tim Muffett

:00:23. > :00:35.is in Liverpool to find out more. That is an unusual Breakfast, I

:00:36. > :00:39.would say that is Scouse. I'm not going their! Not your

:00:40. > :00:46.typical Breakfast, beef casserole, bread roll, rice pudding for ?1. It

:00:47. > :00:51.is a pretty good deal, healthy, cheap as well, and 100 years ago in

:00:52. > :00:55.1917 the concept of National Kitchens first took off, the idea

:00:56. > :00:59.was, during a time of food shortages in World War I, to get people eating

:01:00. > :01:06.together, eating healthily. Could the idea be due for a revamp? That

:01:07. > :01:08.is the brainchild of Doctor Bryce Evans from Liverpool Hope

:01:09. > :01:13.University. Why do you want to bring this back and what would you be

:01:14. > :01:15.doing here today? In 1917, the Ministry of Food conceives of these

:01:16. > :01:35.as the future, you read the documents and they say, why are 100

:01:36. > :01:38.people in one street doing their own shopping, why don't people eat

:01:39. > :01:41.together? It was conceived of as the future and then underwent demise,

:01:42. > :01:44.but food poverty is a situation again today, OK there is no war, but

:01:45. > :01:46.a lot of the time we try to solve it with the food bank model, so can we

:01:47. > :01:48.rediscover social eating? So you will have some people eating

:01:49. > :01:51.together here and you want to bring this to other cities as well? Yes,

:01:52. > :01:54.we have funding from the arts Council and would to set this up in

:01:55. > :01:56.Nottingham, Cardiff, Manchester. If any community groups are interested

:01:57. > :02:00.in getting involved, they can do, we have teamed up with an anti-food

:02:01. > :02:05.waste charity today because, paid for the history in 1917, these would

:02:06. > :02:09.have been run by local people, very much a local initiative with state

:02:10. > :02:13.funding thrown in. You mentioned the charity, let's have a chat to the

:02:14. > :02:26.people with the amazing task of bringing in these dishes under

:02:27. > :02:28.budget. It is good quality food, as well. Natalie, how did you do it?

:02:29. > :02:31.All of the food has been intercepted, food that otherwise

:02:32. > :02:32.would have gone to landfill, so we collected from businesses,

:02:33. > :02:35.supermarkets, to get the food that we have got today. How frustrating

:02:36. > :02:39.is it that so much good food gets thrown away? Incredibly, this is

:02:40. > :02:43.just a drop in the ocean, we can feed 100 people easily, it is the

:02:44. > :02:47.tip of the iceberg, there is a huge amount of food out there not being

:02:48. > :02:52.used. Gaby, what is the biggest challenge in getting these dishes

:02:53. > :02:57.together under budget? We wanted to create a menu bagel to the time, so

:02:58. > :03:07.we have a challenge of using what we intercept, and it is like Ready,

:03:08. > :03:11.Steady, Cook to make the dish. You have kept true to the food which

:03:12. > :03:16.would have been available in 1917. Yes, we have used all of the root

:03:17. > :03:19.vegetable that was available, potato, stock, cheap cuts of it.

:03:20. > :03:23.Thank you for explaining that. Let's talk to some of the volunteers who

:03:24. > :03:27.will be helping, dressed in authentic clothing as well. Why are

:03:28. > :03:32.you getting involved, why is it important to be aware of the

:03:33. > :03:36.challenges people faced 100 years ago? We are involved today because

:03:37. > :03:41.we think, as a younger generation, it is important to re-enact and

:03:42. > :03:42.share the heritage of 100 years ago and bring that to life again. You

:03:43. > :04:11.will be serving a lot of people today,? Yes, 150 so we are already

:04:12. > :04:13.in our costumes and ready to go. You have been rearranging the plates

:04:14. > :04:16.very well for us, they are perfectly aligned! Thank you very much, Neil,

:04:17. > :04:19.good luck, everybody. An idea that is 100 years old, could it catch on

:04:20. > :04:22.and be seen in other cities as well? For now, we will have to wait and

:04:23. > :04:24.see. From me and my delightful it is back to you.

:04:25. > :04:27.That is definitely Scouse, not beef stew. We were hoping, Tim, that you

:04:28. > :04:28.would try a gherkin it is back to you.

:04:29. > :04:31.That is definitely Scouse, not beef stew. We were hoping, Tim, that you

:04:32. > :04:37.would try a border beat that you would want me to try a gherkin!

:04:38. > :04:39.There you go I knew that you would want me to try a gherkin!

:04:40. > :04:42.There you sour? BitterI'm not sour all bitterat nine

:04:43. > :04:56.o'clock well done for trying it, even at

:04:57. > :05:02.nine o'clock in the morningDave Spikey has joined us this at all.

:05:03. > :05:05.I love a people died. All those years in the clubs. Exactly, yes. --

:07:22. > :07:25.Friday the 13th in the year 2000, turned my microscope for the last

:07:26. > :07:27.time, and the next Monday are best known as a hapless supermarket

:07:28. > :07:29.worker and nightclub owner in Phoenix nights. I stopped working

:07:30. > :07:32.haematology on Friday the 13th in the year 2000, turned my microscope

:07:33. > :07:35.for the last time, and the next Monday I as a giant Berry in a car

:07:36. > :07:38.did your friends and family say Walking On Sunshine. What did your

:07:39. > :07:46.friends and family saywhat are you doing?! I started doing stand-up 13

:07:47. > :07:54.years before, I did a talent show in Scarborough, at the Opera House,

:07:55. > :07:59.Larry Grayson was one of the judges and what won it for me was a routine

:08:00. > :08:05.about juggling on a motorbike, I used to do all sorts of things...

:08:06. > :08:13.You recreated the moment there? That is what this tool is called, because

:08:14. > :08:17.it is an anniversary tour. I did a routine, spoof, ridiculous stuff at

:08:18. > :08:24.the end, Daft, like magic and things like that, like, Charlie, is that

:08:25. > :08:28.your card? Yes... What is it doing in my bedroom? I used to do all

:08:29. > :08:32.sorts of Daft stuff like that, so I start this tour with the opening

:08:33. > :08:37.routine I did in 1987 and finish it with the juggling on a motorbike

:08:38. > :08:42.routine and in between look at how I got there, basically. Does it stand

:08:43. > :08:55.the test of time? Ridiculously so, yes, because it is so Daft. I do

:08:56. > :09:00.impressions, old rubbish, Tommy Cooper-esque. Shall we have a look?

:09:01. > :09:02.Listen, ladies, cos you get us every time.

:09:03. > :09:05.It's like you're fly fishing, you play us for a fool all the time.

:09:06. > :09:09.I think I've got a day off cos she says, "I'm

:09:10. > :09:11.going out this morning, with Doreen shopping,

:09:12. > :09:14.and then we're having lunch out, and then am having my hair

:09:15. > :09:25.And just before she closes the door, she pops her head back in and says,

:09:26. > :09:31.And this is where you're really, really clever.

:09:32. > :09:34.The first two things on the list, a piece of cake, aren't they?

:09:35. > :09:37.It goes number one, wash last night's pots.

:09:38. > :09:48.My worst fear, my worst number three is 'change bedclothes'.

:09:49. > :10:00.If I had to change a duvet cover on my own, I sit on the stairs

:10:01. > :10:09.I don't believe you! I was ill-prepared for marriage, I didn't

:10:10. > :10:13.know all of the rules, I didn't know all of by-products would go on then

:10:14. > :10:17.the white coat hangers while hers go on wooden ones. As part of the tour

:10:18. > :10:24.I look at my age and how things have changed, I come from an age before

:10:25. > :10:35.Paul Dadge pork, we didn't pull meat in my day, it is no job for a man --

:10:36. > :10:37.pulled pork. I come from an age where I could have my dinner without

:10:38. > :10:42.taking a photo of it. I like Cooperman, I find it productive. I

:10:43. > :10:48.don't know, it is therapeutic for me -- I like vacuuming. That is why you

:10:49. > :10:52.get left lists, if you are shoving skills in that department... Maybe

:10:53. > :10:57.it is. But you know there is always that one bit it won't pick up? And

:10:58. > :11:03.then eventually you bend down and pick it up and go... And you throw

:11:04. > :11:08.it back down! You have picked it up, just put it in the bin! I can

:11:09. > :11:14.picture you at home doing all of this! I do, yes. I do my own

:11:15. > :11:20.ironing, my wife insists. She sounds marvellous!

:11:21. > :11:24.The clip we saw was from the previous two, you go back quite a

:11:25. > :11:30.long way, fair to say, 30 years of live gigs like that, but how did you

:11:31. > :11:35.see them changing over the years? I am really fortunate, I think, once

:11:36. > :11:39.you get established, in a way, you get to a certain level, you have an

:11:40. > :11:44.audience and they follow you, they are loyal to you. Especially with

:11:45. > :11:50.Phoenix Nights, that was my big, the big thing that started pulling in

:11:51. > :11:55.the crowds, then I did Eight Out Of Ten Cats then I did Bull's-eye but

:11:56. > :11:59.they have stayed with me, and I quite often get the stage manager on

:12:00. > :12:04.the headphones in the gigs going, have you seen the audience? The

:12:05. > :12:08.demographic is such a cross-section from teenagers to senior citizens.

:12:09. > :12:13.Do you do that, have a sneaky peek through the curtains? I do, I

:12:14. > :12:20.project punch lines onto the screen, I want to get laps before I get on,

:12:21. > :12:24.so I take pictures of signs and things like that. You mentioned

:12:25. > :12:29.Tommy Cooper, is it because your humour is actually quite kind? I

:12:30. > :12:33.think so, you are a product of the environment, and a look at the

:12:34. > :12:37.influences, my parents and my grandparents, my grandma was like a

:12:38. > :12:42.life coach for me, my grandma, she was a bit eccentric. Took me to

:12:43. > :12:46.school on my first day, five, tearful, apprehensive, she shoved me

:12:47. > :12:51.the gates, very dour, very matriarchal, there you go, David,

:12:52. > :12:56.School. Pushed me in, I said, grandma... She is walking away, how

:12:57. > :13:01.long do I stay at school for? She turned and said, until you are 16.

:13:02. > :13:12.I'd only got two sandwiches! So I look at my influences and how I

:13:13. > :13:15.developed that sense of humour. Lovely to see you this morning, good

:13:16. > :13:18.luck with the vacuuming. You have made me laugh! Thank you

:13:19. > :13:20.very much for coming in today. Dave Spikey's tour is called

:13:21. > :13:23.Juggling on a Motorbike and is now That's all from

:13:24. > :13:26.Breakfast this morning. Now on BBC One, Arlene Phillips

:13:27. > :13:28.meets elderly people determined to live life to the full,

:13:29. > :13:34.in Holding Back The Years. there are more people over

:13:35. > :13:40.the age of 60 than under 16. We've got some amazing volunteers

:13:41. > :13:46.in their 80s and 90s. But what does growing

:13:47. > :13:49.older mean for you? Difficult, sometimes

:13:50. > :13:53.more than other times.
