Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
After the starting gun is fired for Brexit - | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
the process to take power back from Brussels begins today. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
The government will set out plans to convert thousands of EU rules | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
into British law as it publishes details of the Great Repeal Bill. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
It will be a different relationship but I think it will have the same | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
benefits in terms of access to free trade. | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
Good morning, it's Thursday the 30th of March. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |

In sport - mixed emotions for runner Jo Pavey | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
Ten years after finishing fourth at the World Championships, | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
she's to receive a bronze medal after an athlete | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
National kitchens was set up 100 years ago when World War I. The idea | :01:17. | :01:35. | |
was you got a decent meal for a small price. Should it be brought | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
back, there are some who think it should I will speak to them today. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
And Matt is in Bedfordshire with the forecast this morning. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
I am talking about the results of the big garden Bird watch. News on | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
that and a day ahead coming up. Plans to make Britain | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
an 'independent, sovereign' nation will be published this morning - | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
just one day after Theresa May The Great Repeal Bill will outline | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
how the government plans to repatriate more than 40 | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
years worth of powers from the European Union and convert | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
thousands of EU rules Yesterday, Theresa May described | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Britain's departure from the EU as "an historic moment | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
from which there can be Cometh the hour, cometh the moment, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
in Westminster, Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff - | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
the exact moment the UK took This is an historic moment | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
from which there is no turning back. The letter, hand-delivered | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
by our man in Brussels, telling the EU we | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
are on our way out. Written in a deliberately | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
conciliatory tone. but a hint, too, of the steel | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
and Mrs May's stands. No overt threat to walk away, | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
but a serious warning, as she wrote "a failure | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
to reach an agreement would mean our cooperation | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
in the fight against crime We must therefore work hard | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
to avoid that outcome." A sentence that certainly | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
raised eyebrows, here, But despite all the difficulties, | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
Mrs May promised our relationship with the rest | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
of the continent will be just What we are both looking | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
for is that conferences free trade agreement, which gives that | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
ability to trade freely And for them, and for | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
them to trade with us. It would be a different | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
relationship, but I think it can have the same benefits in terms | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
of that free access to trade. Labour insisted it would hold | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
the government to account More than ever, Britain needs | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
a government that will deliver for the whole country, | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
not just the few. And that is the ultimate | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
test of the Brexit deal that the Prime Minister | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
must now secure. Two years to untangle | :03:59. | :03:59. | |
a 40 year relationship, to undertake all the interwoven | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
regulations and legislation. That task starts today, | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
with more detail from the government on how it plans to bring EU powers | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
back to Westminster. Eleanor Garnier, BBC | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
News, Westminster. Our political correspondent | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
Iain Watson is in Westminster. What can we expect on this first | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
full day after the Article 50 We need to understand a lot of new | :04:24. | :04:36. | |
terminology, don't we? Can you talk this through the bill? We will get | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
more details of the bill today. When you think of a repeal bill it | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
suggests a reversal or a cancellation but in fact what this | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
bill will do is take all the existing rules and regulations and | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
put them into British law. The government says that will give | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
businesses certainty and will make a trading relationship easier although | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
that will be down to future governments to decide to change any | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
rules and regulations. Labour has complained that some of the | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
regulation changes will be done without full Parliament scrutiny. If | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
you are looking at any of the newspapers this morning you will see | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
there is a backlash over the warning in the letter to the European | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
Council saying that the issue of trade and security cooperation in | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
the same paragraph, which has been construed as a threat. The | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
government today has said they have not been threatening although we do | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
expect tough talking from both sides. A reminder, after 830 we will | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
speak to David Davis. The UK coastguard has | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
suspended its search for a private helicopter which went missing over | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
Caernarfon Bay in north Five people were onboard | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
the aircraft, which was en route to Dublin from Milton Keynes | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
when it disappeared. Our reporter Holly Hamilton | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
is in Caernarfon this morning. As you say this was a privately | :06:07. | :06:19. | |
owned aircraft with five people on board. It was en route to Dublin. We | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
know it left Milton Keynes Dons before midday yesterday. It had been | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
scheduled to stop here at however it never arrived. No sightings or radio | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
contact meant that the coastguard had to be informed. The searcher | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
operation began shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon. That | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
involved to coastguard helicopters which searched the area between | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
North Wales and Dublin as well is on land unfortunately they were forced | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
to stop for the night due to poor visibility and weather conditions. | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
North Wales police and took over the search and they have been focusing | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
their chert search on Snowdonia. Now there were five people on board, it | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
was a privately owned helicopter and members of the public are now being | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
asked to get in touch if they saw that read helicopter yesterday | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
afternoon. The search operation is supposed to continue here this | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
morning but weather conditions have not improved. It is extremely wet | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
and windy but we are hoping to get an update shortly and in a situation | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
like that they will hope for search conditions to proceed as quickly as | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
possible. We will bring you up today whenever we hear what the latest | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
situation is. A federal judge in the US state | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
of Hawaii has extended the suspension of President Trump's | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
travel ban for an indefinite period. It means Mr Trump will be barred | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
from enforcing his revised ban on six mostly Muslim states | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
while it is contested in court. New guidelines for the amount | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
of sugar that should be in everyday foods - from breakfast | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
cereals to chocolate bars - have been published | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
by Public Health England. The aim is to cut the amount | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
of sugar children consume by 20% Our Health correspondent, | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
Jane Dreaper has the details. It is tempting stuff. But eating too | :08:21. | :08:32. | |
much sugar is rotting children's teeth and fuelling obesity. One | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
third of children are overweight or obese when they leave school. Now as | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
part of government plans to tackle the problem, the food industry is | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
given new limits for how much sugar should be in nine popular foods. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
Companies are being urged to reformulate their product so that | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
they contain less sugar, or to make them smaller. The aim is for the U K | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
usual diet to contain much less sugar by 2020. We expect people to | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
see over the time smaller cakes, biscuits, chocolate bars. Especially | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
when they eat at home, in family restaurants and so on. We also | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
expect that people will not notice the changes because we know if | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
changes are gradually made, gradually we don't notice them. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Bread is now 40% saltier than it was ten years ago and I bet you have not | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
noticed. Public health England says these guidelines lead the world | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
although nine foods still account for less than 9% of children's sugar | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
intake. Health campaigners say the plans are bald but it is important | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
to keep up pressure on food companies. There will be a progress | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
report in one years time. Companies Amber Road will ask | :09:44. | :09:59. | |
technology companies to do more to help against terrorism by focusing | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
on encryption and Terrorists content. | :10:03. | :10:02. | |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry have released | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
a series of films as part of their 'Heads Together' campaign | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
designed to encourage people to talk about mental health. | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
Andrew Flintoff, Professor Green and Ruby Wax are among celebrities | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
who have been sharing their experiences. | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
The project aims to help end the stigma around mental health. | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
A dog that was left paralysed when she was hit by a car can be | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
taken out for walks again thanks to generous donations | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
Puffy, a Chinese crested powderpuff, is back on the move again thanks | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
Her owners said they were overwhelmed by the generosity | :10:36. | :10:44. | |
and that Puffy loved her new set of wheels. | :10:45. | :10:54. | |
Mobile once again. There you go. It is ten minutes past six and John is | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
here with sport. Yes. Jo Pavey has her hands on a World Championship | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
medal but not in the way you would want to, she finished fourth in the | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
World Championships but an athlete has been retrospectively banned and | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
now she has received the third-place medal. She has had an incredible | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
career but that, I guess, was the major medal missing from her | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
collection she has now received at ten years after the event. | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
Jo Pavey says it's a 'bittersweet' feeling to be awarded | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
a World Championships bronze medal so long after the event. | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
She finished fourth in the 10,000 metres in Japan | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
but Turkey's Elvan Abey-legesse who came second, has been | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
retrospectively disqualified for doping. | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
Pavey is currently preparing to race in next month's London marathon. | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
British number one Johanna Konta is through to the semi finals | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
of the Miami Open for the first time. | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
She came from behind to beat the third seed Simona Halep in three | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
sets to book a place against Venus Williams | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
The Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has dropped | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
the biggest hint that he wants to stay at the club. | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
He's told a paper that he never leaves a job unfinished. | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
He's got the option of taking up a further 12 month contract | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
And there's a big night ahead for Manchester City's Women | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
They take a 1-0 nil lead into their quarter-final second leg | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
at home to Danish side Fortuna Hjorring. | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
City are the only British side left in the competition | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
We look forward to that. Thank you very much. | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
Matt's out enjoying the dawn chorus for us this morning. | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
Good morning. Good morning to you all. We are in Bedfordshire, and the | :12:41. | :12:55. | |
birds are out and singing away. What a perfect day, really, to help | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
reveal the results of the IRS PB big Garden Bird watch. Around 500,000 of | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
you took part, recording over a million herd sightings and the | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
results are amazing. The Robins were movers and shakers seen across the | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
UK. A big side in the number of sightings. We did see a dip in | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
smaller birds like blue chips, etc. They have had a hit from wet weather | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
but the biggest headline of all is about migratory birds seen across | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
the UK. In 11 fold increase for one particular bird, sited across many | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
parts of the UK. We will reveal more from the survey as we go through the | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
rest of this morning. A stunning start here. Let's have a look at the | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
forecast for today. It is warm, which shows that the country is | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
split. We have some fairly mild air today, not as cold as it has been | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
recently but called across eastern areas and in the West we have rain. | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
There will be some rain around. Such to the south-west and eastern parts | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
of Wales, potentially but, essentially, misty damp across | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
western parts of Wales. Breezy as well. Outbreaks of rain across the | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Isle of Man in two parts of north-west England, Cumbria in | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
particular. It also edges into the fire areas of Scotland. Much of | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
Scotland will start dry and what you will see in the east is that it is | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
not as chilly as it has been recently. Double figure temperatures | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
to start the day after a chilly start yesterday. A couple of spots | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
of rain and the odd shower across parts of East Anglia in the | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
south-east. But if you are short lived, mostly dry with Sunnis bells | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
and it will break through more into the Midlands as we go into the rest | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
of the day. There you will see some of the warm as conditions. Heavy | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
bursts across north-west England into Scotland through the day. This | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
way we see the wettest conditions, even he noticed temperatures up on | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
what we have seen. Bridge in double figures into the team for most, in | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
fact, and we could see high as to the north of London hit around 22 or | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
23 degrees. That's into the 70s, in Fahrenheit. A wild night to come | :15:26. | :15:34. | |
with brain more abundant and the rain starts to edge further east | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
words Lorong. The court might be any means taxes into a close up to | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
Friday. Look at a rain working eastwards, wet conditions, first at | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
north-west England. Most will brighten up through Friday to see | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
sunny spells and, again, to which is still hitting around the mid to high | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
teens in one or two spots. 1819 degrees possible cross East Anglia. | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
Into the weekend, a change on Saturday with showers around, some | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
of which are slow-moving and heavy with paler times. Sunshine as well. | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
Or conditions edging in and that will start us off Chile on Sunday | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
but drier brighter of the two days. It looks lovely in the dark. What | :16:20. | :16:31. | |
time are you expecting a little light? The sun should be up probably | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
in the next half an hour between 6:30am and 7am in the UK this | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
morning. Thank you. You spring some difficult questions sometimes. What | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
time is the sunrise this morning? Good job he knew. Anyway, it is | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
6:16am. You're watching | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning: Plans | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
to repatriate more than 40 years worth of powers from | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
the European Union will begin later this morning, | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
with the publication of a draft And a helicopter with five on board | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
has gone missing in north Wales. Everybody has joined us, Steph and | :17:05. | :17:17. | |
John, good morning, to look at the papers. Shall we look at the papers | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
first of all? The Daily Telegraph, it is bowled on the front, the | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
latter that arrived yesterday. A magnificent moment, the words from | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
Theresa May. Many papers look at the initial reaction to the Brexit | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
countdown beginning. The Sun have picked up on a thread from | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
yesterday, they say, your money or your lives, they say Theresa May is | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
negotiating in terms of offering security, assistance and support a | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
long with other parts of the EU deal. She says she is offering world | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
beating skill on beating terror, although Amber Rudd said that was | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
not connected. That was picked up on the Daily Mail, cheers to a great | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
British future. People mentioning his socks. This suggestion already | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
that, the way the Mail is selling the story, the EU is whaling about | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
the PM's blackmail, related to the suggestion that security is a | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
bargaining chip on the table, and we will speak with David Davis, chief | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
negotiator of this morning. We will ask about the issue. Nigel Farage's | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
socks, red white and blue? That is the one. Steph? I just want to pick | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
up on one story on credit cards because we put ?20 million on credit | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
cards in this country every day and the latest figures - morning, | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
everyone - showing that borrowing has risen at its fastest rate in | :18:55. | :19:06. | |
more than a decade. They say that it grew 9.3%, lots of people wondering | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
why it is happening, because maybe they are putting - taking on more | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
debt, which is interesting given we are driven by consumer spending, | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
people are talking about why the economy is growing even because of | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
the uncertainty of Brexit. It is because people are still confident | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
about shopping. Whether it is their money or not. Yes. John, what have | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
you got? Cristiano Ronaldo has had an airport named after him in the | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
dearer and not only that, there was a golden bust - does it look | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
anything like Cristiano Ronaldo? They haven't got the chiselled jaw. | :19:45. | :19:53. | |
Has he seen it? He has. Maybe he has seen the funny side. I would say | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
that his eyes are too close together. Yes. Is that what is wrong | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
to split his face looks too wide. It must be an awful moment when the | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
honour of having something named after you, and then the moment when | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
you see the - it must be awful. You just have to sort of fake it, oh, | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
excellent, well done, what a fantastic replica. The papers have | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
gone crazy, it isn't the only statutory cause a stir, OK? Diego | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
Maradona in Buenos Aires, look at that, unbelievable, and then who can | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
forget Michael Jackson outside Fulham at Craven Cottage? That was | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
fair for a number of years, and then the football Museum. Funny. The | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
other Cristiano Ronaldo sculpture isn't excellent, is it? Thank you | :20:47. | :20:57. | |
very much. It is 6:20am, you are watching Breakfast on BBC News. | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
Families of prisoners are increasingly being targeted | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
by criminals using extortion and blackmail, according | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
to organisations which support relatives. | :21:04. | :21:04. | |
The former head of the prison service's anti-corruption unit has | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
told Breakfast that families are paying a heavy price | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
In some cases, inmates are threatening to harm people's | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
relatives unless they pay off drug debts. | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
Jayne McCubbin has been to hear one family's story. | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
The latter which arrived at her house spoke of last chances, I am | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
tired of being nice, says its anonymous order. If she didn't pay | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
to clear a drug debt, he would be getting cut to pieces. I was in | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
complete shock. He is going to get done. Straightaway there is panic to | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
get the money and sort it as quickly as possible. The family tell me they | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
had no choice. You knew he had a drug habit? Yes. People watching | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
will think, you shouldn't have paid that. If you were in my position, | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
you would pay it. At the end of the day, if you love someone, you would | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
do that. His mother tells me he wasn't safe and he still isn't. That | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
is why we have protected their anonymity. Beatings, stabbings, | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
black eyes, dislocated jaw, busted nose, you name in, he has had it | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
done. Where is the protection in that? None at all. I reckon he will | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
take his life before long. There is not a day that goes by when I don't | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
think about what is happening to him. Not one. In recent months, | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
mobile phone footage and TV cameras have captured spiralling chaos in | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
prison. The drug problem is well documented. What is less documented | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
is how it is paid for. Who is paying? The families are paying. | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
They are paying a heavy price for the drug problem. This is an | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
illustration. We show the family's interviewed to a former prison | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
governor and one-time head of the Prison Service anticorruption unit. | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
Is it the family's fault? Absolutely not. It is not the fault of the | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
family. The crime here is blackmail, extortion and everything else that | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
goes with fat and the families should not be suffering in this way. | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
We should be protecting prisoners and the community. Is this a wider | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
problem? We have spoken with three support groups which work with the | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
families of prisoners who tell me it is. Those charities told us that | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
they are supporting more families who are the victim of blackmail and | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
extortion. They say the numbers are still small but it is a growing | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
problem. The Ministry of Justice gave us this statement... We take | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
any allegations extremely seriously and always investigate fully. We are | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
taking action to tackle drug abuse in prisons and those found with them | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
can face extra time behind bars. We showed John Podmore this letter from | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
the Prison Service to the family in response to their concerns and it | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
concludes, "The only way to resolve this issue is for your son to stop | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
taking drugs and for you to stop funding his habit." This is saying | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
sorry, not our problem. Sorry, it is. This is extortion, it is | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
blackmail. Yes. You think it is happening to other families? Yes, I | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
do. I know it is happening to other families. | :24:24. | :24:23. | |
I guess, given the subject matter, it is hard to have a sense of the | :24:24. | :24:34. | |
scale of the problem. We don't have official numbers, either, however | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
partners of prisoners, the north-east prisoner support group | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
and the adviser care trust have told us it is emerging on the radar with | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
more people coming to them saying they need help and they have no idea | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
what to do. Pat said they are dealing with a case right now with a | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
mother who was told through social media and tax messages and SnapChat | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
that her son will be killed if she does not put money in bank accounts | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
-- text. Right now she is putting it in bank accounts because she doesn't | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
have the confidence despite assurances that her son will be | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
protected in prison. PACT say it is a symptom of the broader chaos in | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
prisons with 30% less prison officers than we had in 2010. One | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
former prison governor told me this has created a void which is being | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
filled with criminality. Liz Truss will speak later at a conference on | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
the future of prison reform and she has already said and will reiterate | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
that she believes safety and rehabilitation should be at the | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
heart of our Prison Service. These issues are on their radar. There is | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
a recruitment drive right now to hire 2500 more prison officers but | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
there are problems -1, it isn't enough to get back to the figures of | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
2010, and there are more prisoners and back then. And two, as fast as | :25:49. | :25:57. | |
they can recruit officers, and it isn't fast, they are losing them all | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
the time with low staff morale. They are trying to do with it. | :26:02. | :26:02. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
Still to come this morning: Are smaller chocolate bars | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
the answer to cutting obesity in children? | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
In the next half hour, we'll hear how the food industry | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
is being encouraged to reduce the amount of sugar | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :26:17. | :29:40. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. | :29:41. | :29:49. | |
We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, | :29:50. | :29:52. | |
that conversation changed everything because from that point everything | :29:53. | :30:04. | |
was out in the open. A problem shared | :30:05. | :30:05. | |
is a problem halved. are being encouraged | :30:06. | :30:07. | |
to come together to talk They were the place where | :30:08. | :30:11. | |
a meal cost just a pound. 100 years on from the introduction | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
of National Kitchens, we'll hear from one man | :30:16. | :30:17. | |
hoping to revive them. My dad always used to say that | :30:18. | :30:30. | |
laughter was the best medicine. Which is why we got sick because I | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
nearly died from diphtheria. That, I can't read. Not knock. | :30:36. | :30:40. | |
Biomedical science isn't the most obvious route into stand-up, | :30:41. | :30:42. | |
but it worked for Phoenix Nights' Dave Spikey. | :30:43. | :30:44. | |
After 8:30 he'll be here to tell us about his unusual | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news... | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
Plans to make Britain an 'independent, sovereign' nation | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
will be published this morning - just one day after Theresa May | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
The Great Repeal Bill will outline how the government plans | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
to repatriate more than 40 years worth of powers | :31:04. | :31:05. | |
It intends to convert thousands of EU rules into British law. It is | :31:06. | :31:15. | |
described as one of the largest legislative projects ever undertaken | :31:16. | :31:18. | |
in the UK. In an interview last night the Prime Minister discussed | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
other new trade relationship with the EU may work. What we are both | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
looking for is a conference in free trade agreement which provides an | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
ability to trade freely into the European single market and for them | :31:31. | :31:34. | |
to trade with us. It will be a different relationship but I think | :31:35. | :31:38. | |
it will have the same benefits in term of that free access to trade. | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
A privately-owned helicopter with five people on board has | :31:42. | :31:44. | |
Five people were on board the aircraft which disappeared en route | :31:45. | :31:55. | |
to Dublin. Our reporter is there for us this morning. Good morning. We | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
note the search was suspended overnight. Do you have the latest? | :32:01. | :32:06. | |
As you mentioned it was a privately owned aircraft en route to Dublin. | :32:07. | :32:11. | |
It left Milton Keynes Dons just before midday yesterday morning and | :32:12. | :32:17. | |
had been scheduled to stop here however it never arrived. There were | :32:18. | :32:27. | |
no sightings and no radio contact so the coastguard was informed | :32:28. | :32:30. | |
immediately. Shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon the | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
search began. That operation surged between Dublin and North Wales. As | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
you said they were forced to stop for the night due to poor | :32:42. | :32:53. | |
visibility. North Wales called the in Mountain rescue teams to continue | :32:54. | :32:56. | |
a land-based search in Snowdonia. At the minute we have no details of the | :32:57. | :33:03. | |
five individuals who are on board. This was a privately owned twin | :33:04. | :33:10. | |
engined helicopter and members of the public have been asked to dial | :33:11. | :33:14. | |
999 if they have seen that red helicopter at any point yesterday | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
afternoon. The operation is supposed to be getting under way tomorrow | :33:18. | :33:24. | |
morning. -- this morning. Visibility is not good but in this sort of | :33:25. | :33:30. | |
situation they hope to undertake the search as quickly as possible. | :33:31. | :33:37. | |
A federal judge in the US state of Hawaii has extended | :33:38. | :33:40. | |
the suspension of President Trump's travel ban for an indefinite period. | :33:41. | :33:43. | |
It means Mr Trump will be barred from enforcing his revised ban | :33:44. | :33:46. | |
on six mostly Muslim states while it is contested in court. | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
Public Health England has published guidelines for the amount of sugar | :33:50. | :33:52. | |
that should be in foods, such as breakfast cereals | :33:53. | :33:55. | |
The aim is to reduce the amount of sugar children consume by twenty% | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
People can expect to see a reduction in the size of products. We expect | :34:00. | :34:09. | |
people to see smaller chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits over time. | :34:10. | :34:15. | |
Particularly when they eat away from home, in family restaurants and | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
such. We also expect that people will not notice the changes. Because | :34:20. | :34:25. | |
when changes are made gradually, we do not notice them. Your bread is | :34:26. | :34:29. | |
40% less salty that was ten years ago, are you have not noticed. | :34:30. | :34:31. | |
Senior executives from companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
and Google will meet the Home Secretary later, | :34:35. | :34:36. | |
to discuss ways to tackle extremism online. | :34:37. | :34:38. | |
Amber Rudd will ask them to do more to help counter terrorism | :34:39. | :34:41. | |
by focusing on areas such as extremist content and encryption. | :34:42. | :34:46. | |
Organisers of the Oscars say they will continue to work with PwC | :34:47. | :34:54. | |
despite the mistake which led to the wrong movie being announced as the | :34:55. | :35:01. | |
winner of Best picture. Let's remind ourselves of the moment when | :35:02. | :35:06. | |
Hollywood realised that someone did not follow the script. To prevent it | :35:07. | :35:13. | |
from ever happening again, there will now be a third accountant to | :35:14. | :35:19. | |
check and all electronic devices will be band. It is a simple thing | :35:20. | :35:32. | |
to do, surely? Jo Pavey. I'll will be talking about her. She has won a | :35:33. | :35:38. | |
swathe of medals but the one that has evaded her is an Olympic and | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
World Championship medal. She now finally has a bronze medal, having | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
finished fourth ten years ago. Somebody who finished ahead of her | :35:49. | :35:53. | |
has been banned for doping and she has now retrospectively been | :35:54. | :35:58. | |
upgraded to bronze. Great news that such a strange seeing... Mixed | :35:59. | :36:03. | |
emotions, as you can imagine. And the thing is... You do not get a | :36:04. | :36:07. | |
moment on the podium. She said afterwards that she felt like she | :36:08. | :36:12. | |
let everyone down, of course she didn't. What have you lost in terms | :36:13. | :36:20. | |
of sponsorship and the suchlike? She will burn out of the London marathon | :36:21. | :36:25. | |
with a World Championships medal to her name, after finishing fourth in | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
the 10,000 metres in Sark. Turkey's Elvan Abey-legesse who won | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
the silver has been retrospectively Which means Pavey's | :36:34. | :36:36. | |
been promoted to third. It's her first major global medal | :36:37. | :36:39. | |
having won at Commonwealth Rather bittersweet because when I | :36:40. | :36:46. | |
think back to those World Championships nearly ten years ago I | :36:47. | :36:51. | |
was running as hard as I possibly could. I had got myself into the | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
best shape possible. And instead of it being a moment where I was being | :36:57. | :37:03. | |
thrilled with a medal and being on the podium I was lying on the track | :37:04. | :37:08. | |
totally exhausted and feeling despondent, and frustrated, like I | :37:09. | :37:10. | |
had let everyone down. Johanna Konta's become the first | :37:11. | :37:11. | |
British woman to reach the semi-finals of the Miami Open | :37:12. | :37:14. | |
She came from behind to beat third The Romanian took the first set 6-3 | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
but Konta recovered to level in the deciding set, | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
winning 6-2 to earn a place in the last four after two | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
and a half hours on court. Konta will face Venus Williams next | :37:28. | :37:31. | |
after she surprisingly knocked out the world number one | :37:32. | :37:34. | |
Angelique Kerber. beat her in straight sets | :37:35. | :37:35. | |
to book her place in the last four. Rafael Nadal is through to the | :37:36. | :37:47. | |
semifinals in the men's draw. Manchester United striker | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has dropped the biggest hint yet that he wants | :37:51. | :37:52. | |
to stay at the club. He's been quoted as saying he 'never | :37:53. | :37:55. | |
leaves a job unfinished'. Ibrahimovic, who's scored 26 | :37:56. | :37:58. | |
goals so far this season, has the option of another year | :37:59. | :38:00. | |
on his contract at Old Trafford. Manchester City's Women will be | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
hoping to book their place in the semi-finals of | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
the Champions League this evening. They take a 1-0 lead | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
into their quarter-final second leg at home to Danish side | :38:10. | :38:11. | |
Fortuna Hjorring. This season is City's first | :38:12. | :38:13. | |
in the Champions League and they're the only British side | :38:14. | :38:16. | |
left in the competition. England's leading test match wicket | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
taker James Anderson says he's concerned that the longer form | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
of cricket could be overshadowed by the continuing popularity | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
of the Twenty 20 game. The ECB is planning to introduce | :38:27. | :38:28. | |
a new city-based T20 Hopefully the administrators and the | :38:29. | :38:44. | |
important people upstairs will look at that and see a way of making sure | :38:45. | :38:51. | |
test cricket does not fall away as G20 grows and grows. For me, test | :38:52. | :38:59. | |
cricket is the pinnacle. It is the toughest test of your cricketing | :39:00. | :39:05. | |
skills. For me, I think there is a huge place for it still. | :39:06. | :39:06. | |
And finally, a statue that's been causing a bit of a stir | :39:07. | :39:10. | |
One that Cristiano Ronaldo might not be completely happy with. | :39:11. | :39:13. | |
It was being unveiled at the island of Madeira's international airport, | :39:14. | :39:16. | |
They're renaming it the Cristiano Ronaldo airport | :39:17. | :39:20. | |
and to honour that they presented THIS magnificent bronze bust. | :39:21. | :39:23. | |
Its likeness to the Real Madrid superstar may be a little | :39:24. | :39:28. | |
questionable, but it did bring a smile to his face. | :39:29. | :39:36. | |
He knows, doesn't he? It looks nothing like him. The hero is good. | :39:37. | :39:46. | |
And as the mouth. That one-sided smile. That is quite good. I think | :39:47. | :39:56. | |
it is the eyes. The eyes are wrong. Hair and mouth... Everything else... | :39:57. | :39:59. | |
The face, not so good. At least he was giggling. | :40:00. | :40:00. | |
What are you and your family having for Breakfast this morning? | :40:01. | :40:03. | |
Many of us will opt for sugary cereals and perhaps even add | :40:04. | :40:07. | |
an extra spoonful of the sweet stuff to our food. | :40:08. | :40:09. | |
But in an effort to tackle unhealthy eating amongst children, | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
public health officials have published recommended sugar-limits | :40:15. | :40:16. | |
Let's speak to Tim Rycroft who's Corporate Affairs Director | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
Good morning, Tim. A very ambitious new idea from the government. Can I | :40:21. | :40:37. | |
quote what they say? They suggest that we should aim to reduce sugar, | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
our intake, by 20% within the next three years. Very ambitious. I think | :40:42. | :40:50. | |
it will make us a world leader in this kind of voluntary sugar | :40:51. | :40:52. | |
reduction programme. The industry, it will be tough, it is corrupted, | :40:53. | :41:00. | |
the industry is up to the challenge. You set an interesting word. | :41:01. | :41:07. | |
Voluntary sugar production. How keen that will suit manufacturers really | :41:08. | :41:12. | |
be? We see manufacturers coming forward with new products and | :41:13. | :41:14. | |
innovations to provide healthier options. This is someone that has | :41:15. | :41:19. | |
gone on for many years, as your previous interview said. We have | :41:20. | :41:22. | |
been reducing salt and now we are focusing more on sugar. The industry | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
understands that consumers want more options and they are providing them. | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
They are changing products. It is something that will need to be done | :41:32. | :41:34. | |
gradually as has been said that it is something that will make a | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
difference. We know that sugar is highly addictive, and children in | :41:39. | :41:41. | |
particular as will as young people can really crave a sugar hit from | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
their cereal or chocolate bar that they or whatever they are used to | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
happen having. If you reduce sugar content, don't you think that people | :41:52. | :41:55. | |
will look for better tasting things elsewhere? I think it is very | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
important that we widen the focus away just from sugar and on two | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
calories because, in the end, city is about excess calories and that is | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
something that public health England said they would do before long. It | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
is easier for the industry to change the rest of your products on a | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
calorie basis than it is on sugar so you are dead right. We need to look | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
at this from a whole diet point of view. We haven't a few interesting | :42:22. | :42:24. | |
comment from viewers. Jane has said that if you make smaller chocolate | :42:25. | :42:29. | |
bars, you also need a smaller price. Might that happen? It is important | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
to remember that changing the recipe of the product is not a cost free | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
exercise. Particularly big leading brands that people love, it needs to | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
be done carefully. There needs to be research, packaging research, | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
machinery needs to be changed. It is not merely taking some stuff out of | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
the kitchen. But, also, one of the ways that manufacturers will have to | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
lower sugar content is simply by making things smaller. Yes. | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
Particularly for those products where it is not possible to | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
substitute the sugar, we will see things get smaller. And it is right | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
that public health England are out there today saying to people that | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
they need to expect this will happen. Childhood obesity, in | :43:14. | :43:16. | |
particular, is a serious problem and we need to tackle it in one of the | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
consequences that we see is the recipes of products will change | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
gradually and we will see some of our favourite products are smaller. | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
Will we also see manufacturers ignore them because these are not | :43:29. | :43:32. | |
mandatory guidelines? I doubt that will happen. If you look across the | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
food industry, consumers are demanding more of these options in | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
the food industry will always respond to consumer demand. For the | :43:42. | :43:44. | |
industry, this is not so much about a time-limited programme, this is a | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
commitment now to reformulate, whenever the product cycle, | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
innovation allows it, products will be changed to make for healthier | :43:53. | :43:54. | |
options. Thank you very much indeed. You can | :43:55. | :44:04. | |
imagine the conversation can't you in that cereal aisle with a young | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
child. You want this one a taste exactly like the one you already | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
want all you want this new healthy one? Challenging. It is 644 and you | :44:12. | :44:20. | |
are watching breakfast. A reminder of our top stories... | :44:21. | :44:23. | |
The main stories this morning: Plans to repatriate more than 40 years | :44:24. | :44:26. | |
worth of powers from the European Union back | :44:27. | :44:28. | |
to Westminster will begin today with the publication | :44:29. | :44:31. | |
A helicopter with five people on board has gone missing over | :44:32. | :44:35. | |
Apparently it is going to be quite a warm day today. It is not just a | :44:36. | :44:49. | |
rumour. Good morning. It will be for many of you. It is not completely | :44:50. | :44:55. | |
dry. Let me show you where we are. It is a birds eye view of the | :44:56. | :45:00. | |
location of Sandy in Beds at the RSPB headquarters at the nature | :45:01. | :45:06. | |
reserve. It is a stunning view. -- Sandy in Bedfordshire. We are here | :45:07. | :45:13. | |
because of the results of the RSPB's Garden Bird watch. We have revealed | :45:14. | :45:20. | |
the results so far. Close to half a million of you took part. To tell us | :45:21. | :45:30. | |
more is one of the team from the Big Garden Bird Watch is Jamie. Who are | :45:31. | :45:37. | |
the movers and shakers? The robin, lots more seen this year, the losers | :45:38. | :45:45. | |
is the tit family. Why are they suffering, they are the same sort of | :45:46. | :45:50. | |
similar bird, are they? Similar bird, different food, so last year's | :45:51. | :45:55. | |
long spring meant fewer caterpillars for the blue tit to feed chicks. And | :45:56. | :46:00. | |
the other thing is migratory birds? I am not meant to have favourites at | :46:01. | :46:09. | |
loads of Max -- wax wings, stunning creatures from the northern parts of | :46:10. | :46:14. | |
Scandinavia and Russia. And I reckon the weather has had a part to play | :46:15. | :46:19. | |
in that, hasn't it? Absolutely, the easterly wind and the cold winters | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
in Siberia and Scandinavia has driven them towards us and they are | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
still in the country today - go and look for them. Thank you for joining | :46:28. | :46:34. | |
us this morning. Yes, the wax wings will be enjoying, not the best word, | :46:35. | :46:38. | |
the warmth across eastern areas. They prefer something a little bit | :46:39. | :46:43. | |
cooler, of course, but we look at the forecast and we split the | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
country in two, eastern areas the warmest with sunshine and to the | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
west we have the rain, quite heavy at times around the Irish Sea. | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
Across south-west England, the odd shower, dry and sunny for some in | :46:57. | :47:01. | |
the rush hour. A little sunny in Wales, misty in the west, with | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
patchy rain. Extending across the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man, Cumbria, | :47:06. | :47:11. | |
eastern Northern Ireland and increasingly south-west Scotland, | :47:12. | :47:13. | |
although much of Scotland will be dry. Sunshine here and there. Much | :47:14. | :47:19. | |
warm in the east. The same for the north-east of England compared to | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
yesterday. Clout and spots of rain through the day. Across eastern | :47:23. | :47:27. | |
parts of England, one or two isolated showers around. Don't be | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
surprised if it starts to rain. Fairly isolated, few of us will see | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
them and it won't last too long but away from that we have high cloud | :47:37. | :47:41. | |
around, spells of sunshine coming through and the sunshine will | :47:42. | :47:45. | |
develop further through the day for part of Southeast East Anglia, the | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
Midlands and even eastern parts of Wales with the warmest conditions | :47:50. | :47:54. | |
here. Raining in around the Irish Sea areas and extensive in Scotland | :47:55. | :47:57. | |
through the afternoon with heavy bursts. Even in the rain, | :47:58. | :48:02. | |
temperatures above where they should be with wind from the south, most in | :48:03. | :48:06. | |
the midteens, some have the upper teens and four East Anglia and the | :48:07. | :48:10. | |
south-east, the low 20s, maybe even 23 could be the high. Now, we | :48:11. | :48:16. | |
continue with mild conditions tonight. It will turn wet in the | :48:17. | :48:20. | |
west with the rain more extensive, a little more heavy as well and that | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
will push further north and east. A mild start to tomorrow. Fairly | :48:25. | :48:30. | |
cloudy. A small area of rain will push east across England and Wales. | :48:31. | :48:36. | |
Wettest conditions to begin in north-west England, eastern Northern | :48:37. | :48:39. | |
Ireland and increasingly into Scotland, heavy rain at times for | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
you. But for most it will be dry Tomasin is well on Friday and | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
temperatures not as high as today, quite warm, highs of 18 or 19 | :48:48. | :48:53. | |
degrees. Starting to turn cooler on Saturday. Rain possible just about | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
anywhere in the form of heavy showers. Fairly slow-moving with | :48:59. | :49:07. | |
light wind. That all clears through and we see things dry and cool on | :49:08. | :49:11. | |
Sunday. Lots of sunshine around. That is how the forecast is looking | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
and I will leave you again with a spectacular birds eye view from us | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
here in Sandy. Back to you Charlie and Sally. You are just showing off. | :49:21. | :49:29. | |
You definitely win "The best view of the day." Gorgeous. Thank you. We | :49:30. | :49:32. | |
will bring you right back the day." Gorgeous. Thank you. We | :49:33. | :49:37. | |
earth. Steph will, anyway, talking about how people are employed, self | :49:38. | :49:42. | |
employment, short-term contracts. Yes, it is a lot more flexible. | :49:43. | :49:45. | |
With short-term contracts and freelance work, many praise | :49:46. | :49:47. | |
the so-called "gig economy" for offering employees flexibility. | :49:48. | :49:57. | |
And I obviously don't just mean music gigs, it could be taxi drivers | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
or careers. Earlier this month one business | :50:02. | :50:08. | |
group estimated that 1.3 million people work in this way | :50:09. | :50:11. | |
and they expect that number MPs on two committees are currently | :50:12. | :50:14. | |
taking evidence about conditions Nigel Mackay is an employment | :50:15. | :50:23. | |
solicitor at Leigh Day, which is representing | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
the Deliveroo couriers. So, tell us, Nigel, you are involved | :50:28. | :50:46. | |
in this case at the moment where Deliveroo drivers are unhappy. That | :50:47. | :50:52. | |
is right, at the moment Deliveroo treats writers as self-employed. So | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
effectively they are running their own business when they carry out | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
their jobs delivering food. We say that is misleading the relationship. | :51:03. | :51:10. | |
So, workers or even employees, like someone working in any other job, | :51:11. | :51:14. | |
and there are different factors you look at when you determine that. And | :51:15. | :51:20. | |
in this case what we see is the control in particular that the | :51:21. | :51:26. | |
company has over its workers, it requires them to carry out work in a | :51:27. | :51:33. | |
certain way, it has a recruitment process, it has a performance | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
management process, if they don't do jobs in enough time, they can be | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
terminated from the system, and they have to wear a uniform and carry a | :51:42. | :51:46. | |
box with a company logo, so it is hard to see how they can be | :51:47. | :51:49. | |
self-employed when they are obviously integrated and part of the | :51:50. | :51:53. | |
business. What are the rights that they want and that they feel they | :51:54. | :51:59. | |
don't have? In particular, they are looking to ensure they are going to | :52:00. | :52:03. | |
be paid the minimum wage. At the moment there is no guarantee for | :52:04. | :52:06. | |
people who are genuinely self-employed. That is because they | :52:07. | :52:11. | |
get paid for the individual jobs. They might only get one and Allah, | :52:12. | :52:16. | |
less than the minimum wage, is that the problem? Essentially it is the | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
problem, although Deliveroo has a mix, it has some shifts and some | :52:21. | :52:26. | |
paper drop as it calls it, but it could work out that they get less | :52:27. | :52:34. | |
than the minimum wage -- pay-per-drop. The other thing is | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
holiday and sick pay. Yes. Workers are entitled to holiday, to accrue | :52:39. | :52:44. | |
holiday when they work, and to be paid for that, and at the moment | :52:45. | :52:48. | |
Deliveroo riders don't get that. The other important thing that workers | :52:49. | :52:52. | |
are entitled to is protection from discrimination. If you are a worker, | :52:53. | :52:58. | |
your employer shouldn't discriminate against you. Something talking to | :52:59. | :53:02. | |
Deliveroo riders is that Deliveroo has introduced a new rule that 16 | :53:03. | :53:06. | |
and 17 -year-olds can no longer work for them which is potentially age | :53:07. | :53:11. | |
discrimination. If we can show that they are workers, then they could be | :53:12. | :53:14. | |
entitled not to be discriminated against. Deliveroo say they cannot | :53:15. | :53:20. | |
comment on the latest claim and say they are proud to offer well-paid | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
work to 15,000 self-employed UK riders and will continue to work | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
closely to ensure that as a company continues to grow in the UK the | :53:30. | :53:33. | |
riders benefit from the growth. There is lots of writers who are | :53:34. | :53:36. | |
with Deliveroo who are very happy. You represent 20 who are unhappy. | :53:37. | :53:43. | |
There are 15,000 representing them. We have around 20 at the moment who | :53:44. | :53:47. | |
we started proceedings for and lots of other people are joining the | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
claim as well. It is quite difficult to establish people who are happy | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
and unhappy. One thing I would say is that nothing in our claim will | :53:57. | :54:02. | |
prevent flexibility, so just because workers work flexibly doesn't mean | :54:03. | :54:05. | |
they shouldn't be entitled to workers' rights. We are not saying | :54:06. | :54:08. | |
people should be forced to work a certain amount of time, we say when | :54:09. | :54:12. | |
they work they should have the right they are entitled to. Thank you for | :54:13. | :54:16. | |
your time this morning and that is it from me for now. And we are | :54:17. | :54:20. | |
staying with food, my favourite subject. | :54:21. | :54:20. | |
Imagine going to a restaurant where the meal costs just a pound. | :54:21. | :54:23. | |
That was the aim of National Kitchens, set up by the government | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
during the First World War to help ensure everyone had access to food. | :54:28. | :54:30. | |
Well, 100 years on, there are calls to revive the concept. | :54:31. | :54:33. | |
Breakfast's Tim Muffett is in Liverpool to find out more. | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
Good morning. Going back 100 years, a meal for six shillings, the idea | :54:37. | :54:43. | |
of about ?1 in today's money, brought in with the World War I food | :54:44. | :54:50. | |
shortages, it was a way of people being fed, at a pretty good price | :54:51. | :54:57. | |
but the idea of is it a good idea to introduce it? Today, National | :54:58. | :55:02. | |
Kitchens will be introduced for one day only. Doctor Bryce Evans from | :55:03. | :55:07. | |
Liverpool The university, why are we bringing back National Kitchens? I | :55:08. | :55:10. | |
have research National Kitchens from a while and funding from the arts | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
council has come in so we want to create this across Britain. Very | :55:16. | :55:18. | |
exciting. This is the inaugural event. The idea being how to think | :55:19. | :55:22. | |
about social eating. We are very used to the food banks at weekend do | :55:23. | :55:26. | |
better than the basic food bank model. If we look at the past in | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
this country, 100 years ago the model was communal dining. And as | :55:31. | :55:36. | |
you will see from the students here, flowers, nice decorations, these | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
would be centres of civilisation. Back in time, why was it brought in, | :55:41. | :55:45. | |
what was important about it, and is it relevant in 2017? It is very | :55:46. | :55:52. | |
relevant with the talk about Brexit but young people didn't choose to be | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
living under austerity. So you see quite a strong food movement today | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
amongst young people. That is a strong thing for this generation. We | :56:01. | :56:05. | |
have a Genesis and easier. Bacca 100 years we had communal dining -- | :56:06. | :56:11. | |
amnesia. And interestingly it was state-sponsored. They were run | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
locally but they were sponsored by the state. If we look at the role of | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
the state today and how that has shifted. Interesting thoughts. Not | :56:21. | :56:24. | |
everyone would agree with them. Let's talk to Gaby homes from the | :56:25. | :56:28. | |
real junk food project in Liverpool. We created a three course meal for | :56:29. | :56:36. | |
?2 79 per head. Using food from supermarkets around the city, we use | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
cheap cuts of meat, root vegetables, tinned food, so it is easy for | :56:42. | :56:45. | |
people to make a hearty and nutritious meal. Thank you very | :56:46. | :56:52. | |
much. We will talk more a bit later. Some of the volunteers as well. This | :56:53. | :56:56. | |
event kicks off at 7pm this evening. There will be others across the UK | :56:57. | :57:02. | |
in the next few weeks. It is an interesting idea, feeding people | :57:03. | :57:08. | |
cheaply and healthily, it is hoped. 100 years old, relevant today - we | :57:09. | :57:12. | |
will have to wait and see. It looks fantastic. | :57:13. | :57:14. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :57:15. | :00:34. | |
Top temperatures tomorrow 16 or 17 degrees. | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
Sunny spells and heavy showers on Saturday. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
After the starting gun is fired for Brexit - | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
the process to take power back from Brussels begins today. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
The government will set out plans to convert thousands of EU rules | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
into British law as it publishes details of the Great Repeal Bill. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
It will be a different relationship but I think it will have the same | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
benefits in terms of free access to trade. | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
Good morning, it's Thursday the 30th of March. | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
A helicopter with five people on board has gone missing off | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
I am here in Caernarfon where the operation is due to get back under | :01:21. | :01:37. | |
way this morning after a after a helicopter went missing with five | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
people on board. Trying to tackle obesity - | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
official limits are published for the amount of sugar that should | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
be in everyday foods. There's less than week to go before | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
the deadline for investing But with rates lower than 1%, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
are they worth investing in? In sport - mixed emotions | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
for runner Jo Pavey. Ten years after finishing fourth | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
at the World Championships, she's to receive a bronze | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
medal after an athlete National Kitchens we introduced 100 | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
years ago during World War I. The idea was to feed people cheaply and | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
healthily. Should they be bought back? Some people think so. | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
And Matt is in Bedfordshire with the forecast this morning. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
Good morning to you. I am at a nature reserve here talking about | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
the results of the big garden Bird watch. They also have news of warm | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
weather today across the east of England. For some, we still have | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
rain and the forecast, details in the next 15 | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Plans to make Britain an 'independent, sovereign' nation | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
will be published this morning - just one day after Theresa May | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
The Great Repeal Bill will outline how the government plans | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
to repatriate more than 40 years worth of powers | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
from the European Union and convert thousands of EU rules | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Yesterday, Theresa May described Britain's departure from the EU | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
as "an historic moment from which there can be | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Cometh the hour, cometh the moment, in Westminster, Belfast, | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Edinburgh and Cardiff - the exact moment the UK took | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
This is an historic moment from which there is no turning back. | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
The letter, hand-delivered by our man in Brussels, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
telling the EU we are on our way out. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Written in a deliberately conciliatory tone. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
but a hint, too, of the steel in Mrs May's stance. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
No overt threat to walk away, but a serious warning, | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
as she wrote "a failure to reach an agreement | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
would mean our cooperation in the fight against crime | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
We must therefore work hard to avoid that outcome." | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
A sentence that certainly raised eyebrows, here, | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
But despite all the difficulties, Mrs May promised | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
our relationship with the rest of the continent will be just | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
What we are both looking for is that comprehensive | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
trade agreement, which gives that ability to trade freely | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
And for them, and for them to trade with us. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
It would be a different relationship, but I think it can | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
have the same benefits in terms of that free access to trade. | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
Labour insisted it would hold the government to account | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
More than ever, Britain needs a government that will deliver | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
for the whole country, not just the few. | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
And that is the ultimate test of the Brexit deal | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
that the Prime Minister must now secure. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
Two years to untangle a 40-year relationship, | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
to undertake all the interwoven regulations and legislation. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
That task starts today, with more detail from the government | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
on how it plans to bring EU powers back to Westminster. | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
Eleanor Garnier, BBC News, Westminster. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
Our political correspondent Iain Watson is in Westminster. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
What can we expect on this first full day after the Article 50 | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
So the two. Can you explain the procedure? We are getting some of | :05:13. | :05:29. | |
the details of this grandly titled Great Repeal Bill. The bill follows | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
later in the spring and will come into force on the day though we | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
leave the European Union. It is ambitiously titled and when you | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
think of the word repeal you think of, perhaps, a reversal, but what it | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
will do is bring in all the EU laws and regulations into UK law. The | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
government says this is a good thing because in effect we will be waking | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
to the same standards as our current European partners, we will have the | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
same rules, and that will make a future trading relationship that | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
much easier. Some big policy changes will have to go into separate laws. | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Things such as immigration will require separate parliament where | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
it's Grigory. There has been a linking of the trade deal with | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
security co-operation that some people have been suggesting that the | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
reason may is attempting to blackmail and the chief negotiator | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
of the EU parliament said he would not use the word blackmail because | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
he is a gentleman. It is a bad start and government ministers have been | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
anxious to stressed that the government is not threatening people | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
but, to be perfectly honest, at the start of the negotiation I would | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
expect it to talk from both sides. After 8:30 we'll be speaking | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
to the Secretary of State The UK coastguard has | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
suspended its search for a private helicopter which went missing over | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
Caernarfon Bay in north Five people were onboard | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
the aircraft, which was en route to Dublin from Milton Keynes | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
when it disappeared. Our reporter Holly Hamilton | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
is in Caernarfon this morning. What more do you know? We know that | :07:07. | :07:24. | |
this was a privately owned helicopter with five people on | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
board. We know it left milk and he is shortly before midday yesterday | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
morning and was supposed to go to Dublin, stopping here in Caernarfon | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
but unfortunately it never arrived. And with radio control lost and no | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
sightings the UK coastguard was immediately informed. They launched | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
their search operation shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon. | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
That operation, involving two coastguard helicopters, surged this | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
area from North Wales to Dublin by sea and by land and that surge had | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
to be called off late last night due to very poor visibility and weather | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
conditions. North Wales police took over that search operation on land | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
last night. They introduced Mountain rescue teams focusing on the | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Snowdonia area. Like I said, we do not know a lot at this point about | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
the individuals on board the aircraft. We know that it is a twin | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
red squirrel helicopter and members of the public have been asked to get | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
in touch as they saw the helicopter yesterday afternoon. The search | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
operation is supposed to be getting under way this morning. Very poor | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
weather conditions, still very poor visibility but in a situation like | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
this it is the urgent that the operation gets under way as quickly | :08:45. | :08:45. | |
as possible. A federal judge in the US state | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
of Hawaii has extended the suspension of President Trump's | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
travel ban for an indefinite period. It means Mr Trump will be barred | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
from enforcing his revised ban on six mostly Muslim states | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
while it is contested in court. New guidelines for the amount | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
of sugar that should be in everyday foods - from breakfast | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
cereals to chocolate bars - have been published | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
by Public Health England. The aim is to cut the amount | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
of sugar children consume by 20% Our Health correspondent, | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
Jane Dreaper has the details. But eating too much sugar | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
is rotting children's One third of children | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
are overweight or Now as part of government | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
plans to tackle the problem, the food industry has | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
been given new limits for how much sugar should be in | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
nine popular foods. Companies are being urged | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
to reformulate their product so that they contain | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
less sugar, or to make The aim is for the UK usual diet | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
to contain much less We expect people to see over | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
the time smaller cakes, Especially when they eat | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
out of home, in family We also expect that | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
people will not notice the changes because we know | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
if changes are gradually made, Bread is now 40% less salty | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
than it was ten years ago and I bet Public Health England says these | :10:11. | :10:22. | |
guidelines lead the world although the nine foods | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
still account for less than half Health campaigners say the plans | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
are bold but it is important to keep up pressure | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
on food companies. There will be a progress | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
report in one years' time. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
and Prince Harry have released a series of films as part | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
of their 'Heads Together' campaign designed to encourage people to talk | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
about mental health. Andrew Flintoff, Professor Green | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
and Ruby Wax are among celebrities who have been sharing | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
their experiences. The project aims to help end | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
the stigma around mental health. The hardest thing for me initially | :10:54. | :11:10. | |
was talking. I am not a big talk. I am from the north of England! I am | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
from a working-class family. We do not talk about our feelings. At the | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
same for me. Just not something you spoke about. We will talk more about | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
those conversations, including speaking to two people who made one | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
of the films, we will track to them later on this morning. | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
A dog that was left paralysed when she was hit by a car | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
is enjoying walks again thanks to an ingenious contraption. | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Puffy, a Chinese Crested Powderpuff, is back on the move thanks to this | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
She is also have hydrotherapy to aid her recovery. | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
Puffy's owners say they're "overwhelmed" by the generosity | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
of people who contributed to her new set of wheels. | :11:58. | :12:09. | |
Look at her! Out and about everyday! Houses for a quote? We already miss | :12:10. | :12:25. | |
you. Thank you and goodbye. Those were the words of the European | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
Council president yesterday as the Article 50 letter was delivered to | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
Brussels. Lots of reaction across the continent. Good morning, down. | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
Many of the comments that have come across is | :12:41. | :12:41. | |
a stirring things up. Take is through what we hear. | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
You should not underestimate the sadness in this city. Allah is in | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
the room yesterday and he looked like a broken man, Donald Tusk, but | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
we are already seeing a hardening of the language and a determination | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
that negotiations will not be easy for England. -- the UK. | :13:04. | :13:51. | |
With me here this morning I have two people who live and work in | :13:52. | :14:02. | |
Brussels. Effie is a journalist and Jet is an MEP. Do you share the | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
sadness was expressed yesterday? Yes, for certain. Yesterday was a | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
historic day for the EU and it is the first time in the history of the | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
European Union as a whole that a member state decided to leave. The | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
mood here was quite heavy. It was quite emotional day as well. My | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
colleagues had tears in their eyes because at the end of the day we are | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
all Europeans despite the comp Petterd divorce we are entering. The | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
most expensive and complicated divorce in history. It was quite an | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
emotional day. It is happening and it is real. What do you think will | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
happen next? We already see this getting tough? It will not be easy | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
for the UK and that is what everybody here in Brussels, senior | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
officials, saying all the time. Of course that they have to show and | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
they want to send a clear message to everybody, as will as the rest of | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
the member states here that it is worse to be out than stay in. And of | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
course it has been said clearly, it is about damage control. It is not a | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
win win, it is about damage control. It is important to find a deal for | :15:12. | :15:30. | |
the citizens of Europe as well as citizens in the UK. And also for a | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
transparent process to ensure the public follow what is going on and I | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
think that will if we do it transparently lead to a fair deal. I | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
hope we can come out stronger even though it is a painful moment in | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
history. It will be very complicated with a lot of disagreement. Mainly | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
for the UK. All of the standards we have built up on consumer | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
protection, labour rights, regulation of the market, you have | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
to deal with these things in the UK in a short time period so it will be | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
a tremendous challenge for the UK. And I wish you the best. I hope we | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
all get a fair deal and we can work together. You talk to people across | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
Europe, do they want a strong relationship with Britain any more? | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
I don't think so. There is diversity among EU people. You cannot speak | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
about EU citizens as a whole thing but they are of course very | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
different. I don't think they are very positive, especially in | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
Brussels, there are a lot of European people. They say if you | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
want to go you pay the price. It is a difficult period for the EU as a | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
whole. It is not about punishing the United Kingdom. It is an existential | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
crisis that the EU is suffering right now. It has to show that a | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
high Brexit is the only option. Thank you. I appreciate your time. | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
There is a lot more to them to be done. The disagreements are opening | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
up straightaway. Thank you very much. Speak to you later on. | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
Remember not long ago when we asked people to look in their gardens to | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
look at the different types of birds and monitor the changes. One person | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
has all of the answers from the survey. Matt is out enjoying the | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
dawn chorus. Yes, we have come to the RSPB headquarters and you can | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
see I am surrounded by a glorious nature, it is in full song this | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
morning with a beautiful start to the day. We are here to talk about | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch and if you are one of the half million | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
people out in the latter stage of January the results have been | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
standing with a boost in birds in gardens this year, notably the | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
robin, the highest number recorded in 20 years. And also migratory | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
birds in winter including the waxwing, where it was a cold winter. | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
Easterly wind helping that. One bird which has suffered has been the blue | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
chips with numbers down around 11%. It is thought it is the wet weather | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
from the previous years which has hampered their feeding arrangements | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
-- blue tits. We will have more results on those through the | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
morning. They are enjoying the weather this morning. It has been | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
lovely and dry. Across many eastern areas it should be fine. We will see | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
warmth across eastern areas. In the west there is cloud around. There is | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
a bit of an east- west split. Let's start with the west. It isn't wet | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
everywhere. Dry weather in Wales and south-west England. Showery | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
conditions here. For the far west of Wales it is grey and misty and murky | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
with fog over the hills and patchy rain and drizzle. For one or two it | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
will be down all day. The rain extends into Cumbria and Northern | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
Ireland. Much of Northern Ireland will be predominantly dry. Rain | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
edging into Dumfries and Galloway and the big thing is it is warmer | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
than yesterday. You will notice that in north-east England, not as chilly | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
as yesterday morning. Cloud around, spots of rain in north-east England | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
and isolated showers, East Anglia, the Midlands and the south-east. | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
They are few in number and isolated with most departing quickly so the | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
rest of the day will be dry. Cloud around but sunny spells coming | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
through, making it feel very warm across the Midlands, East Anglia for | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
this time of year with 22, maybe 23 degrees. Frayne continues for those | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
around the Irish Sea, wet across Scotland in the afternoon -- Rain. | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
Even here, noted temperatures holding up in the midteens. Wind | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
coming from the south, keeping things warm, and mild weather | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
continues through tonight. Tonight the rain will turn heavy and | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
persistent in the west. It is largely dry across eastern areas. | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
Patchy rain or drizzle into England or Wales later. Temperatures start | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
in double figures for most, cloud for the morning commute, patchy rain | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
working eastwards across England and Wales, wettest in Northern Ireland | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
and Scotland first thing. Scotland holds on to the rain in the morning | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
and then departs. Friday brightens up, so if you start delivering you | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
will see the sunshine come out later on, and pleasant once it is through. | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
Saturday has rain and showers, springtime showers which could be | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
heavy and thundery. Slow moving across England and Wales with light | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
wind, turning cooler with sunshine at times. Sunday has a chilly start | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
but it should be a dry and bright day for many. Sunday the better day | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
of the weekend. That is how your weather is looking. As you can see | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
from the birds Eye view here in Bedfordshire it is a cracking start. | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
If you have dry weather, enjoy it -- Birds Eye view. Beautiful collars. | :21:05. | :21:15. | |
See you later. Thank you. -- colours. | :21:16. | :21:16. | |
A credit card boom and a rise in the minimum wage - | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
Steph has more on that and the other main business stories. | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
Credit card borrowing has risen at its fastest rate in more | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
than a decade and raised fears of a new debt crisis. | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
Spending on plastic grew 9.3% in the year to February, | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
That is the fastest growth rate since February 2006 and comes | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
amid fears households are living above their means. | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
Up to 2.3 million workers will get a pay rise when minimum wage rates | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
go up on Saturday, according to the Low Pay Commission. | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
The National Living Wage for over 24s goes up by 30p an hour | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
The minimum wage will go up depending on the working age. There | :22:03. | :22:16. | |
are warnings it will cause pressures for employers and that is something | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
we will talk about on the programme tomorrow. Remember when the Samsung | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
Note 7 was recalled? Samsung have | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
launched their latest Faulty batteries which overheated | :22:29. | :22:29. | |
caused dozens of Samsung's Note 7 Millions were recalled | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
at an estimated cost of $6 billion. So, big figures for them and they | :22:34. | :22:44. | |
will hope that the latest phone will win back customers and get sales are | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
began. And be safe. There is that, yes. Thank you. | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
Families of prisoners are increasingly being targeted | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
by criminals using extortion and blackmail, according | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
to organisations which support relatives. | :22:55. | :22:55. | |
The former head of the prison service's anti-corruption unit has | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
told Breakfast that families are paying a heavy price | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
In some cases, inmates are threatening to harm people's | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
relatives unless they pay off drug debts. | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
Jayne McCubbin has been to hear one family's story. | :23:08. | :23:19. | |
The letter which arrived at her house spoke of last chances. | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
"I'm tired of being nice," said its anonymous order. | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
If she didn't pay to clear a drug debt, he'll be getting | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
Straightaway there is panic to get the money and sort it | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
The family tell me they had no choice. | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
People watching will think, you shouldn't have paid that. | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
If you were in my position, you would pay it. | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
At the end of the day, if you love someone, | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
His mother tells me he wasn't safe and he still isn't. | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
That is why we have protected their anonymity. | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
Beatings, stabbings, black eyes, dislocated jaw, | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
busted nose, you name it, he's had it done. | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
I reckon he'll take his life before long. | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
There's not a day that goes by when I don't think | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
In recent months, mobile phone footage and TV cameras have captured | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
What is less documented is how it is paid for. | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
The families are paying a heavy price for the drug problem. | :24:38. | :24:49. | |
We show the family's interviewed to a former prison governor | :24:50. | :24:59. | |
John Podmore and one-time head of the Prison Service Anticorruption | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
The crime here is blackmail, extortion and everything else that | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
goes with that, and the families should not be suffering in this way. | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
We should be protecting prisoners and the community. | :25:14. | :25:15. | |
We've spoken with three support groups which work with the families | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
Those charities told us that they are supporting more | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
families who are the victim of blackmail and extortion. | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
They say the numbers are still small but it is a growing problem. | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
The Ministry of Justice gave us this statement... | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
"We take any allegations extremely seriously | :25:36. | :25:36. | |
We are taking action to tackle drug abuse in prisons and those found | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
with them can face extra time behind bars." | :25:42. | :25:51. | |
We showed John Podmore this letter, it's from the Prison Service | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
to the family in response to their concerns and it concludes, | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
"The only way to resolve this issue is for your son to stop taking drugs | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
and for you to stop funding his habit." | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
This is saying, "Sorry, not our problem." | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
You think it is happening to other families? | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
I know it is happening to other families. | :26:11. | :26:23. | |
As you referred to in your piece, getting an idea of the scale of the | :26:24. | :26:35. | |
problem and the subject matter. There are no official figures but we | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
have been told from partners of prisoners and the family support | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
group and the prison advice and care trust that this is an increasing | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
problem - they are seeing it more on the support groups and on the | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
telephone lines. We have been told from PACT that one woman is | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
receiving text messages from one who says her son will be killed in | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
prison if she doesn't pay the money. They are encouraging her to work | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
with the police to share that information at she is not. She is | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
paying because she is not convinced they can keep her son safe in prison | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
despite assurances. PACT say they think this is a symptom of broader | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
chaos in the system with almost 30% fewer than -- prison officers than | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
we had in 2010 and one prison officer says this is a void filled | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
with criminality. This trust will be at a conference later today and she | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
will reiterate what she has said already -- Liz Truss. She believes | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
safety and rehabilitation should be at the heart of the Prison Service. | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
She has a recruitment drive to get 2500 officers. There are two | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
problems. That number isn't enough to get back to the 2010 staffing | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
levels and there are slightly more prisoners in the system right now. | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
And two, the other problem, some say it is running to a standstill | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
because as fast as they can recruit they are losing officers with low | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
morale so it is a difficult time and it is unlikely there will be a quick | :28:09. | :28:10. | |
fix. Thank you. Time now to get the news, | :28:11. | :28:11. | |
travel and weather where you are. Plenty more on our website | :28:12. | :31:35. | |
at the usual address. Hello, this is Breakfast | :31:36. | :31:41. | |
with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. Plans to repatriate more than 40 | :31:42. | :31:44. | |
years worth of powers from the European Union | :31:45. | :31:49. | |
will start this morning with the publication of a draft | :31:50. | :31:53. | |
of The Great Repeal Bill. The government paper intends | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
to convert thousands of EU rules House of Commons officials have | :31:57. | :31:59. | |
described the process as one of the largest legislative projects | :32:00. | :32:02. | |
ever undertaken in the UK. In an interview with the BBC last | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
night, the Prime Minister discussed how the UK's new trade relationship | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
with the EU could work. What we are both looking for is that | :32:09. | :32:22. | |
comprehensive free-trade agreement which gives that ability to trade | :32:23. | :32:26. | |
freely into the European single market. And for them to trade with | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
us. There will be a different relationship but I think it will | :32:31. | :32:33. | |
have the same benefits in terms of free access to trade. | :32:34. | :32:35. | |
In an hour's time we'll be speaking to the Secretary of State | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
for Exiting the EU, David Davis, and we'd like to hear some | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
Yes, if there is anything you would like clarity on, do let us know and | :32:43. | :32:52. | |
we will try and put some of those questions to him. | :32:53. | :32:53. | |
A privately-owned helicopter with five people on board has | :32:54. | :32:55. | |
It's thought the craft was travelling from Milton Keynes | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
to Dublin, when it went missing over Caernarfon Bay. | :33:00. | :33:01. | |
Rescue teams have been searching parts of Snowdonia and the Irish | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
A federal judge in the US state of Hawaii has extended | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
the suspension of President Trump's travel ban for an indefinite period. | :33:09. | :33:10. | |
It means Mr Trump will be barred from enforcing his revised ban | :33:11. | :33:14. | |
on six mostly Muslim states while it is contested in court. | :33:15. | :33:22. | |
Public Health England has published guidelines for the amount of sugar | :33:23. | :33:25. | |
that should be in foods, such as breakfast cereals | :33:26. | :33:27. | |
The aim is to reduce the amount of sugar children consume by twenty% | :33:28. | :33:32. | |
People can expect to see a reduction in the size of products. | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
Senior executives from companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, | :33:38. | :33:39. | |
and Google will meet the Home Secretary later, | :33:40. | :33:42. | |
to discuss ways to tackle extremism online. | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
Amber Rudd will ask them to do more to help counter terrorism | :33:46. | :33:48. | |
by focusing on areas such as extremist content and encryption. | :33:49. | :33:54. | |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry have released | :33:55. | :33:57. | |
a series of films as part of their 'Heads Together' campaign | :33:58. | :34:00. | |
designed to encourage people to talk about mental health. | :34:01. | :34:02. | |
The project aims to help end the stigma around mental health. | :34:03. | :34:05. | |
The former England cricket captain Andrew Flintoff and the rapper | :34:06. | :34:08. | |
Professor Green, were among the celebrities who've been | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
The hardest thing for me initially was talking. | :34:13. | :34:17. | |
We will discuss that campaign a little later this morning. | :34:18. | :34:41. | |
Organisers of the Oscars say they will continue to work | :34:42. | :34:43. | |
with the accountancy firm, PwC, despite the mistake which led | :34:44. | :34:46. | |
to "La La Land" being wrongly announced as the winner of Best | :34:47. | :34:49. | |
This is the moment Hollywood realised someone hadn't followed | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
the script at the ceremony last month. | :34:53. | :34:54. | |
To make sure a similar mistake doesn't happen next year, | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
there will be an extra accountant on hand, and electronic devices | :34:58. | :35:00. | |
How will an extra accountant help? Whatever the situation, just | :35:01. | :35:13. | |
bringing in another accountant is a good thing. Maybe they could number | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
the envelopes? I don't know. Whether. The weather looks lovely | :35:18. | :35:23. | |
for large parts of the country today. Matt will have the details | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
later. I think you said it may even be the warmest day of the year. Good | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
morning, John. Do you have any sunshine? A little bit of so and | :35:34. | :35:37. | |
shine for one of our runners but it comes with a tinge of cloud, shall | :35:38. | :35:42. | |
we say, because it is a bit of a what if moment. She finished fourth | :35:43. | :35:45. | |
in the World Championships in 2007 but an athlete who finished ahead of | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
her has since been disqualified for which means she will now receive aid | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
bronze medal for her performance. This is the image, is it? She has | :35:54. | :36:00. | |
missed out she trained hard and afterwards was flat on her back on | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
the track. She was talking about how difficult the race was and said she | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
felt as if she had let everyone down. Of course she had not and now | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
it turns out that she had really were won bronze. Huge mixed emotions | :36:13. | :36:14. | |
for Jo Pavey. She's set to compete in next month's | :36:15. | :36:17. | |
London Marathon and Jo Pavey heads into it with a world medal | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
to her name after it was announced she'll receive that bronze | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
from the World Championships She finished fourth in the ten | :36:26. | :36:27. | |
thousand metres in Osaka, but Turkey's Elvan Abey-legesse | :36:28. | :36:30. | |
who won the silver has been retrospectively | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
disqualified for doping. Which means Pavey's | :36:34. | :36:34. | |
been promoted to third. Kind of bittersweet because when I | :36:35. | :36:42. | |
think back to those World Championships nearly ten years ago I | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
was running as hard as I possibly could, I had been in the best shape | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
I could get into. Instead of it being a moment where I was thrilled | :36:53. | :36:57. | |
with getting a medal and experiencing the podium I was lying | :36:58. | :37:03. | |
on the track exhausted and feeling despondent, feeling all of the | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
frustration, as if I had let everyone down. | :37:07. | :37:07. | |
Johanna Konta's become the first British woman to reach | :37:08. | :37:09. | |
She came from behind to beat third seed Simona Halep. | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
The Romanian took the first set 6-3 but Konta recovered to level | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
in the deciding set, winning 6-2 to earn a place | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
in the last four after two and a half hours on court. | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
Konta will now face Venus Williams after she produced an upset, | :37:29. | :37:31. | |
knocking out the world number one Angelique Kerber. | :37:32. | :37:33. | |
Williams who's 36 beat her in straight sets to book her place | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
In the men's draw, Rafa Nadal is through to the semi finals. | :37:37. | :37:42. | |
Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez says he wants to play in a team | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
that is 'winning things' and has a 'winning mentality'. | :37:46. | :37:47. | |
His comments while at a promotional event in Chile will add | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
to speculation that he could leave in the summer. | :37:51. | :37:53. | |
With 15 months left on his current deal, he's yet to sign | :37:54. | :37:56. | |
Manchester City's women will need to book a flight for the semifinals | :37:57. | :38:11. | |
this evening. They take a lead into the quarter-finals this morning. It | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
is the first season in the Champions League and they are the only British | :38:16. | :38:21. | |
side left in the competition. Now James Anderson says he is concerned | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
that the longer form of cricket could be overshadowed by the | :38:26. | :38:28. | |
continuing popularity of 2020. The ECB is planning an introducing a | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
city -based de 20 competition. Hopefully the administrators in the | :38:33. | :38:42. | |
important people upstairs will look at that and see a way of making sure | :38:43. | :38:47. | |
that test cricket does not fall away as G20 grows and grows. For me, test | :38:48. | :38:54. | |
cricket is the pinnacle. It is the toughest test, mentally and of your | :38:55. | :39:01. | |
cricketing skills. For me I believe there is still a huge place for it. | :39:02. | :39:06. | |
And finally, the statue that has caused a stir on social media. It | :39:07. | :39:13. | |
was being unveiled at the international airport in Madeira, | :39:14. | :39:19. | |
the place where Renato was born. To honour that, they presented this | :39:20. | :39:22. | |
magnificent piece of artwork. This bronze bust. The likeness may be | :39:23. | :39:30. | |
questionable but it did bring a smile to his face. Let's be honest, | :39:31. | :39:35. | |
it looks nothing like him. I think he is laughing at it. Someone has | :39:36. | :39:42. | |
made a joke there in that group, haven't they? He does not mind, he | :39:43. | :39:48. | |
has an airport named after him. The thing to do will be to go and have a | :39:49. | :39:53. | |
selfie with that awful trophy. -- statue. Technology companies | :39:54. | :40:00. | |
including Facebook, Google and Twitter are due to meet the Home | :40:01. | :40:03. | |
Secretary this afternoon to discuss how to tackle extremism online. It | :40:04. | :40:08. | |
comes after the acting head of Scotland Yard said the Westminster | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
attack should be a wake-up call for firms. In just a moment we will | :40:12. | :40:17. | |
speak to an Internet safety expert but, first, let's speak to the BBC's | :40:18. | :40:22. | |
media editor. First of all, why this is happening now? Well, we know that | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
the killer, the perpetrator of last week's atrocity in Westminster used | :40:28. | :40:33. | |
what is out which is a messaging service owned by Facebook and he | :40:34. | :40:37. | |
used it in the hours just before he committed his horrendous crime. And | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
Wright went on to the BBC this weekend and said it struck her as | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
frustrating that what app has what we call in to end encryption. It | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
means that the centre of the message and the receiver sender and receiver | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
messages knowing that no-one else will be able to access them. It is | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
completely secure and private. This is frustrating to security services | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
and the police force. What Amber Wright has said is that we need to | :41:05. | :41:09. | |
be able to access those messages. The problem is that the technology | :41:10. | :41:12. | |
to access the messages does not exist. Your iPhone, through example, | :41:13. | :41:21. | |
is secure. The technology does not exist yet and the argument of the | :41:22. | :41:25. | |
technology companies, certainly what they will be making this afternoon | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
is that if they did build the technology, only bad guys would use | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
it. People who want to hack your phone. The technology does not exist | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
yet and we get the impression that they do not want to manufacture it. | :41:39. | :41:44. | |
We did ask Google and Facebook if they would like to be involved in | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
this conversation and they declined. This is, this is a difficult area, | :41:50. | :41:55. | |
isn't it? It is hugely complex because you are dealing with | :41:56. | :42:01. | |
content, speech... It goes from legal free speech right through to | :42:02. | :42:03. | |
extremism, radicalisation and illegal content. So companies need | :42:04. | :42:09. | |
to deal with training moderation teams so that if they receive | :42:10. | :42:16. | |
reports of somebody being worried about a potential terrorist, they | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
need to train moderation team to figure out when and in what instance | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
you escalate that. Imagine either logistical and issues them. For | :42:26. | :42:35. | |
example, a moderation team in Vietnam, how do they communicate and | :42:36. | :42:38. | |
escalate that to law enforcement? I used to work for we both and we had | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
a parallel kind of thing. If somebody reported that they were | :42:45. | :42:47. | |
worried about a person who would commit suicide, what we did was work | :42:48. | :42:52. | |
with the suicide prevention organisations, past the material to | :42:53. | :42:55. | |
them and asked if it was a credible risk. In which cases, if they said | :42:56. | :43:02. | |
yes the information was sent to the police, disseminated to local police | :43:03. | :43:06. | |
and they would send a squad car around. Again, the scale of the | :43:07. | :43:10. | |
number of messages the material you are talking about. How can you | :43:11. | :43:15. | |
achieve it? You need an expert group of criminologists, psychologists, | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
counterterrorism, all of the companies, so that all of the | :43:21. | :43:27. | |
companies can escalate to these experts to decide whether or not to | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
pass on to the police. That way you would have important intelligence | :43:32. | :43:37. | |
about those who do make a risk. And if they would agree to do this, that | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
would make a significant difference to the situation. Obviously, if | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
people become more aware that more of the material they are writing or | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
saying is being monitored, surely then they would just find a | :43:51. | :43:53. | |
different place a different way to say it. I think that is a concern. | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
The Internet is so fast and there are so many different places and | :43:58. | :44:03. | |
apps. As Charlie mentioned, it is the scale of the problem that is | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
difficult to control and there will always be areas of cyberspace where | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
people are able to communicate. It is worth saying that the other half | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
of what is being discussed today is, as you mention, the sheer scale of | :44:18. | :44:21. | |
extremist material online. There is so much of this stuff that censoring | :44:22. | :44:26. | |
it and dropping it from being there is a gargantuan task and the idea | :44:27. | :44:30. | |
that a tech company itself can make that decision on whether or not this | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
or that thing, this post that picture is unacceptable, it takes | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
the technology companies into a space that they are uncomfortable | :44:38. | :44:45. | |
with. A quick thought from me, clearly in PR terms it is bad when | :44:46. | :44:50. | |
there is a link for things like this. Do they care apart from that? | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
Part of the principle of these setups is that they are free, free | :44:55. | :44:57. | |
for people to do what they wish with. Exactly. And the real impact | :44:58. | :45:04. | |
comes when advertisers withdraw advertising. That is what focuses | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
attention. The authors of these companies they are concerned about | :45:09. | :45:11. | |
liability issues and logistical challenges. Having an expert panel | :45:12. | :45:15. | |
external to them to review these things who can read despondent | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
quickly is a way in which you can tackle this. | :45:20. | :45:26. | |
7:45am now. We are going to get the weather from Matt, who is out and | :45:27. | :45:33. | |
about birdwatching. Morning. Good morning. I am at the RSPB's | :45:34. | :45:41. | |
headquarters in Bedfordshire, a stunning location, as you can see | :45:42. | :45:51. | |
from the Birds -- bird's eye view. If you were one of the close to half | :45:52. | :45:55. | |
a million people out spotting birds in January for the RSPB Big Garden | :45:56. | :46:01. | |
Birdwatch, well, the results are out and it has been a bumper year for | :46:02. | :46:04. | |
many of the birds. Especially for the Robin, which has seen the | :46:05. | :46:10. | |
highest numbers recorded in around 20 years, it has been faring well | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
indeed, it also doing well has been the migratory birds to the UK, such | :46:16. | :46:20. | |
as the waxwing, the waxwing comes from Scandinavia and Europe, and a | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
very cold winter, so they have come further west when the winter is cold | :46:25. | :46:29. | |
across Europe in search of food. Easterly wind has helped to push | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
them away. One bird which hasn't done as well as many has been the | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
blue tit. Weather could be to blame. Some of the wet winters that we saw | :46:38. | :46:45. | |
had an effect on where they get their feet from and with less food | :46:46. | :46:49. | |
around there are few in number. Even that said, most of the birds doing | :46:50. | :46:56. | |
very well. That is in part tribute to the wildlife gardening, making | :46:57. | :47:00. | |
them more friendly. We will have more of those results later in the | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
programme. Let's get on with the weather. Not bad to start with | :47:05. | :47:08. | |
sunshine breaking through. It is going to be quite a warm day for | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
eastern areas. That is the big story. Wherever you are, a mild | :47:13. | :47:17. | |
start. In the west we have rain to go with it. This morning if you are | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
on the move across south-west England and where will is, a little | :47:23. | :47:25. | |
rain here and there. Not everyone will see it. The exception in | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
central Wales to the west with mist and low cloud and patchy rain and | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
drizzle to the Isle of Man. And across parts of Northern Ireland. | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
Northern Ireland will have some dry weather and sunshine. And into | :47:41. | :47:43. | |
Scotland, a dry and warm start compared to the east here, the same | :47:44. | :47:48. | |
for north-east England. Parts of north-west England and Southwest | :47:49. | :47:51. | |
Colin, rain will develop this morning. There will be spots of rain | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
across East Anglia and the south-east. Even into the Midlands. | :47:56. | :48:00. | |
Showers are few and far between and fairly fleeting as well. They will | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
move on and then the rest of the day is set to be dry. Not only dry but a | :48:05. | :48:08. | |
good bit of sunshine breaking through and warming up very nicely | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
with temperatures breaking the 70 Fahrenheit mark up to around 22, 20 | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
three degrees to the north of London. Further west we have rain | :48:18. | :48:21. | |
for those around the Irish Sea and a wet afternoon across much of | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
Scotland. Even here as you can see it is going to be a mild day for | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
this time of much with temperatures widely in the mid-to-high teens. Now | :48:30. | :48:34. | |
tonight the rain becomes extensive across northern and western areas, | :48:35. | :48:39. | |
heavy at times, spots of rain into England and Wales but not too much | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
further east. Temperatures holding up for most, not dropping below ten | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
or 11 Celsius. It will be a cold start tomorrow, probably wet across | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and north-west England. Rain heavy | :48:54. | :48:57. | |
to begin with. Rain elsewhere pushing eastwards across England and | :48:58. | :49:00. | |
Wales but for most it will be a right day. Dry weather through the | :49:01. | :49:05. | |
afternoon and not quite as warm today but once the sunshine is out | :49:06. | :49:08. | |
with light wind it will be very pleasant with temperatures around 18 | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
or 19 degrees across parts of East Anglia. Saturday brings a trend to | :49:14. | :49:18. | |
cooler weather. We will see a typical spring day with sunshine and | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
heavy showers, especially for England and Wales, slow-moving here, | :49:24. | :49:28. | |
so you could be under it for awhile. Sunshine in between and with clear | :49:29. | :49:31. | |
skies developing it be a chilly start to Sunday. But a sunny day in | :49:32. | :49:37. | |
prospect. That is how the day is looking. Here is how it is looking | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
in Bedfordshire. A stunning scene as you can agree. More from here | :49:42. | :49:47. | |
through the morning. I love the way we have the bird's eye view of the | :49:48. | :49:53. | |
bird themed weather forecast. Well thought out. It is like there was a | :49:54. | :49:56. | |
plan. Let's go to Steph. A little while ago you were telling | :49:57. | :50:04. | |
us how we were spending money on credit cards and our how to save | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
money. Yes, lots of people want to save money and make money on those | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
savings and for a long time interest rates have been so low that people | :50:13. | :50:16. | |
have felt hard done by, which is fair enough, so let's have a look. | :50:17. | :50:18. | |
If you want to put money into a tax-free savings account - | :50:19. | :50:21. | |
more commonly known as an ISA - in the current tax year you have | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
until midnight on Wednesday to do it. | :50:26. | :50:28. | |
There's a maximum you can put into an ISA in each tax year. | :50:29. | :50:32. | |
In the 2016/17 tax year the limit is just over ?15,000, | :50:33. | :50:37. | |
and that limit is shooting up to ?20,000 in 2017/18. | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
Research for BBC Breakfast shows the average rate on an easy access | :50:43. | :50:48. | |
On top of that, last year the government introduced | :50:49. | :50:54. | |
That means basic rate taxpayers can earn up to ?1,000 in interest on any | :50:55. | :51:02. | |
Anna Bowes is from the website Savings Champion.co.uk. | :51:03. | :51:07. | |
Good morning to you. You and I have taught for a long time about how it | :51:08. | :51:15. | |
is tough on savers at the moment. How do you make money, you know, | :51:16. | :51:22. | |
sensible saving, but it feels like it is not worth it. Is it worth it? | :51:23. | :51:26. | |
It is worth considering. You shouldn't dismiss them. There is a | :51:27. | :51:31. | |
lot of money in cash ISAs and it is going up, the money saved, so it is | :51:32. | :51:35. | |
important to look for the best rate and try to take advantage of better | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
than 1%. If the average is lower than 1% there will be higher and | :51:41. | :51:44. | |
lower rates to get and you can get just over 1% at the moment because | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
the competition is good at this time because people want a little bit of | :51:50. | :51:54. | |
money to be attracted into ISAs. And the banks want money as well, so | :51:55. | :52:01. | |
what difference does it make and talk us through this? It is good | :52:02. | :52:07. | |
news because it is an extra ?200 of additional interest you can earn | :52:08. | :52:15. | |
because you are not paying the tax. The first ?1000 of any savings is | :52:16. | :52:21. | |
tax-free. For higher rate taxpayers it is ?500. Additional rate | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
taxpayers don't receive anything. It means it is making it a difficult | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
decision for people. That is because for some types of ISA there is a | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
discrepancy on what you can get on a cash ISA and the equivalent non- ISA | :52:37. | :52:40. | |
account. So for some people now it might be better for them to take out | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
a savings bond as a poster at fixed-rate ISA, because the interest | :52:46. | :52:50. | |
rate you will earn after tax is within the savings allowance, it is | :52:51. | :52:55. | |
better. You have to look forward. If interest rates rise, which we hope | :52:56. | :53:02. | |
they will do, you might end up paying tax on your savings | :53:03. | :53:07. | |
unnecessarily. So it can be quite complicated. If someone has a bit of | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
money and they are thinking, I am not sure what to do, how should they | :53:12. | :53:17. | |
decide? It is complicated. I have been trying to work out what the | :53:18. | :53:21. | |
right thing is. It is down to the individual. For people who use the | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
personal savings allowance, they probably need to think about using | :53:26. | :53:34. | |
it even if the interest is lower for them because the net rate on the | :53:35. | :53:41. | |
bond might be greater. If you are a higher rate taxpayer it is | :53:42. | :53:48. | |
important. If you have ?20,000, take the best savings account you can and | :53:49. | :53:54. | |
if in future use up all of your personal savings and you can move | :53:55. | :53:58. | |
that money quite quickly and rapid in a ISA if necessary. Thank you. -- | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
wrap it in. During the First World War the | :54:03. | :54:12. | |
government set up a national kitchen schemes EU could get a good meal for | :54:13. | :54:15. | |
just ?1. Sounds like exceptional value. The idea was to help everyone | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
access good food. Well, 100 years on, there are calls | :54:20. | :54:22. | |
to revive the concept. Breakfast's Tim Muffett | :54:23. | :54:25. | |
is in Liverpool to find out more. What to you get for your ?1? Well, a | :54:26. | :54:33. | |
decent meal and it is pretty healthy as well. 100 years ago they were | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
introduced by the government. Food shortages were in place. It was to | :54:39. | :54:46. | |
help people eat healthily. So far for one-day only they have | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
reintroduced here. Why reintroduce a national kitchen? 100 years ago this | :54:52. | :54:59. | |
is what people relied on. It is some way you could come and get a cheap | :55:00. | :55:03. | |
and nutritious meal and it didn't cost the earth. They are attractive | :55:04. | :55:08. | |
places to come. Why reintroduce this? Obviously this was during | :55:09. | :55:18. | |
wartime. You look at food banks today, the basic food bank, they | :55:19. | :55:24. | |
have a social purpose, but a lot of them don't have a social eating | :55:25. | :55:29. | |
component. Maybe people don't dine together today, or talk together, | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
and all of the things it can believe in terms of dislocation, mental | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
problems, it is a social thing to break red. The thing about the | :55:38. | :55:41. | |
national kitchen in the First World War was people from all classes | :55:42. | :55:45. | |
could come. Today we think about the poor use of food banks. In the First | :55:46. | :55:51. | |
World War it was poor people but also rather upper-class snobby | :55:52. | :55:55. | |
people like yourself. Thank you very much indeed. We will talk late about | :55:56. | :55:58. | |
who will be coming on this evening. Natalie from the junk food project, | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
you have put this meal together for a very low price. How do you do it? | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
The food we use the intercept from supermarkets or from other | :56:08. | :56:10. | |
businesses, food that would have gone into landfill. It is a decent | :56:11. | :56:15. | |
meal, what do you get for your money? For the orchid loan of ?2.79 | :56:16. | :56:20. | |
in today's money you can get vegetable pate, people to start, | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
pork sausage casserole and a vegetarian stew. It seems incredibly | :56:27. | :56:37. | |
good value. This food would have been thrown away? Yes. The food we | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
intercepted would have gone to land fill, it would have been wasted, | :56:42. | :56:49. | |
there was no purpose for it. It starts at seven o'clock this evening | :56:50. | :56:53. | |
at the idea is others will take place in other cities, Cardiff, | :56:54. | :56:56. | |
Manchester, Nottingham and maybe others as well. It is an interesting | :56:57. | :57:01. | |
100-year-old ID and some people think it could be relevant today. I | :57:02. | :57:06. | |
have a question for you, is it a jar of pickled gherkins because Charlie | :57:07. | :57:11. | |
needs to know? I believe it is, Charlie, correctly identified. Yes. | :57:12. | :57:17. | |
Clearly not the right time for a pickled gherkin but you never know. | :57:18. | :57:23. | |
You love a pickled gherkin. Very keen. | :57:24. | :00:49. | |

an 'independent, sovereign' nation will be published this morning - | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
just one day after Theresa May The Great Repeal Bill will outline | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
how the government plans to repatriate more than forty years | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
worth of powers from the European Union and convert | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
thousands of EU rules Yesterday, Theresa May described | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Britain's departure from the EU as "an historic moment | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
from which there can Cometh the hour, cometh the moment, | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
in Westminster, Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff - | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
the exact moment the UK took This is an historic moment | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
from which there is no turning back. The letter, hand-delivered | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
by our man in Brussels, telling Written in a deliberately | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
conciliatory tone. But a hint, too, of the steel | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
in Mrs May's stance. No overt threat to walk away, | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
but a serious warning, as she wrote "a failure to reach | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
an agreement would mean our cooperation in the fight | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
against crime and terrorism We must work hard to | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
avoid that outcome." A sentence that certainly | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
raised eyebrows, here, But despite all the difficulties, | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Mrs May promised our relationship with the rest of the continent | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
will be just as good after Brexit. What we are both looking for is that | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
comprehensive trade agreement, which gives that ability to trade | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
freely into the European And for them, and for | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
them to trade with us. It would be a different | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
relationship, but I think it can have the same benefits in terms | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
of that free access to trade. Labour insisted it would | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
hold the government More than ever, Britain needs | :04:43. | :04:43. | |
a government that will deliver for the whole country, | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
not just the few. And that is the ultimate | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
test of the Brexit deal that the Prime Minister | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
must now secure. Two years to untangle | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
a 40-year relationship, to unpick all the interwoven | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
regulations and legislation. That task starts today, | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
with more detail from the government on how it plans to bring EU powers | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
back to Westminster. Eleanor Garnier, BBC | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
News, Westminster. Our political correspondent | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Iain Watson is in Westminster. Let's pick up on some of the | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
front-pages this morning. Your money or your lives, this is about the | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
issue linking security with some kind of trade deal, or that seems to | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
be the implication of some of what Theresa May has said? That is right. | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
What is is causing consternation on the continent was the fact she puts | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
that her ambitions for a trade deal and this mention of security | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
cooperation in the same paragrafr in that Article 50 letter that was | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
handed over. We saw that being handed over to the EU by her | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
ambassador in Brussels. Now, already the reaction among some senior EU | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
politicians has been less than favourable. They've been using words | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
such as blackmail. In fact, the European Parliament's chief | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
negotiator said that he was only not using the word blackmail because he | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
was a gentleman. This idea of linking these two has not gone down | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
well. Here at Westminster, Government ministers have been keen | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
to stress that they haven't been threatening EU partners and, in | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
terms of background briefings, they have been saying when it comes to | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
NATO and intelligence being shared between the Security Services, none | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
of that is under threat, it's simply that some of the things that we deal | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
with as part of the EU will have to be negotiated, there's no way out of | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
that, that includes for example, the European arrest warrants. These will | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
be up for negotiations. But certainly some people felt it very | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
crass to try and mention that in the same breath almost as the trade | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
issue itself. After eight-thirty we'll be | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
speaking to the Secretary of State for Exiting the EU, | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
David Davis. Let us know your questions if you | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
have any for him. The UK coastguard has | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
suspended its search for a private helicopter which went missing over | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
Caernarfon Bay in north Wales Five people were onboard | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
the aircraft, which was en route to Dublin from Milton Keynes | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
when it disappeared. Our reporter Holly Hamilton | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
is in Caernarfon this morning. Good morning. The weather conditions | :07:23. | :07:37. | |
have not improved and the coastguard has said it cannot resume the search | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
unless conditions improve. All we know about this aircraft at the | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
minute, it's privately owned. There were five individuals on board. We | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
know it was destined to arrive in Dublin, but it left Milton Keynes | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
yesterday morning shortly before midday. It was due to stop here at | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
Caernarfon Airport. It did not arrive. All communications with the | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
aircraft were lost. It went missing from the radar. The coastguard was | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
alerted immediately and launched the search operation shortly before 4 | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
o'clock. Now that operation involved two coastguard helicopters that | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
searched across North Wales right through to Dublin both via land and | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
sea and unfortunately, due to these weather conditions that had to be | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
called off quite late last night. The search operation was continued | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
on land by North Wales Police, they've introduced Mountain Rescue | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
Teams to search the land and that is continuing this morning. Now, we | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
don't know a great deal about the five individuals, we do know that it | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
was a red helicopter and members of the public have been asked to dial | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
999 if they saw that helicopter at any point yesterday afternoon in the | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
area. Now, the search should be continuing this morning, time is of | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
the essence, but the coastguard will not allow that search to resume | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
unless these weather conditions improve significantly in the next | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
few hours. A federal judge in the US state | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
of Hawaii has extended the suspension of President Trump's | :09:05. | :09:08. | |

from enforcing his revised ban on six mostly Muslim states | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
while it is contested in court. New guidelines for the amount | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
of sugar that should be in everyday foods, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
from breakfast cereals to chocolate bars, have been published | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
by Public Health England. The aim is to cut the amount | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
of sugar children consume by 20% Our health correspondent | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
Jane Dreaper has the details. But eating too much sugar | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
is rotting children's teeth One third of children | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
are overweight or obese Now as part of government plans | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
to tackle the problem, the food industry has been given | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
new limits for how much sugar should Companies are being urged | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
to reformulate their product so that they contain less sugar, | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
or to make them smaller. The aim is for the UK's yearly diet | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
to contain 200,000 fewer We expect people to see over | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
the time smaller cakes, Especially when they eat | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
out of home, in family We also expect that people will not | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
notice the changes because we know if changes are gradually made, | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
generally we don't notice them. Bread is now 40% less salty | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
than it was ten years ago and I bet Public Health England says these | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
guidelines lead the world although the nine foods | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
still account for less than half Health campaigners say the plans | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
are bold but it is important to keep There will be a progress | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
report in one years' time. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
and Prince Harry have released a series of films as part | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
of their Heads Together campaign designed to encourage people to talk | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
about mental health. The project aims to help end | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
the stigma around mental health. The former England cricket captain | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Andrew Flintoff and the rapper Professor Green were among | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
the celebrities who've been A dog that was left paralysed | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
when she was hit by a car is enjoying walks again, | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
thanks to an ingenious contraption. Puffy, a Chinese crested powderpuff, | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
is back on the move thanks to this She is also having hydrotherapy | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
to aid her recovery. Puffy's owners say they're | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
overwhelmed by the generosity of people who contributed | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
to her new set of wheels. I thought a crested powder puff was | :11:45. | :11:54. | |
a biscuit but it's a little doggie! Gorgeous. | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
Matt will have the weather details coming up a little later on. | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
Talking about your own mental health can be difficult and daunting - | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
particularly if you're feeling vulnerable or struggling to cope. | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
But sometimes a problem shared can, quite literally, | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
That's why the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
along with Prince Harry, have launched a series | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
of films as part of their Heads Together campaign. | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
The project features people from all walks of life, | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
It aims to encourage people to open up and end the stigma | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
When I started opening up to you and everyone around me, I wanted to get | :12:33. | :12:44. | |
better, I wanted to live a life where I felt worthy of living. Thank | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
God you did because from my point of view, that was realising that it was | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
a serious mental health issue and that we had to treat it like that. | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
That's why now we are talking about it. The hardest thing for me | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
initially was talking. I'm not a big talker. I don't talk about it. I'm | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
from the north of England, I'm from a working class family, we don't | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
talk about our feelings. Yes, yes, it was no different for me, from a | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
council estate in East London, it's just not something you spoke about. | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
To me it seems a shame it's taken us all these years to be able to be | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
open and vocal about things. It's crazy when it comes out, it comes | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
from being vocal. I've seen you talk to other people, it's like a unique | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
club. I'm only relieved when I'm with other people that have mental | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
illness. If I see the eyes of another, we have this understanding | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
#57bed that's the healing. What an incredible thing to see people be so | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
honest and open about it. It's brilliant to see. | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
Joining us now are Sarah Hesz and Katie Massie-Taylor who found | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
they were helped by speaking to each other. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
You two found each other. How did that happen? We had very small | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
babies and toddlers, we were in a rainy playground, about November, | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
no-one else was there because no-one wants to be. It was bleak. We were | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
knackered and hadn't had an adult conversation for days, it felt like, | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
and I went over to Katie and basically asked her to be my friend. | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
But yes, the moment was kind of desperation. It's hard being at home | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
with two small kids and you need company, you need to talk, you need | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
real life interaction. Lots of mums will recognise that picture you've | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
painted there, it's very familiar to lots of us, but what did you think | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
then, I have a challenge with my mental health, did you think that, | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
or did you just feel isolated and lonely? I think that the last bit, | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
the isolation and the lonelines. To be honest, as new mums will know, | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
you are in such a haze it's difficult to think about what you | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
are when you have a small baby. You lose confidence and a sense of In a | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
way self-, it's just the long days by yourself can take a toll. The | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
thing is, the people you speak to. You describe the scenario, you | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
approached Katie, have I got that the right way around? Yes. What was | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
your immediate reaction? I was hoping someone might do that for the | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
previous few weeks after having my second baby. I used to wander out | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
and hope that someone would have a conversation with me and yes, Sarah | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
coming up really changed. It was a very pivotal moment in how I felt | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
during maternity leave because we went from having long days alone by | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
ourselves to just spending every day together. We wouldn't do anything | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
special but we just had more fun together. How was it that you | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
weren't able to share whatever it was you were feeling up until that | :15:56. | :15:56. | |
point? Did you bottle things up? Your husband goes to work and | :15:57. | :16:11. | |
doesn't come back for ten hours. Other friends of mine were at work | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
all day. It is having local friends nearby who are going through the | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
same thing as you. That's what is so key I think when you are a new mum. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
How important is it, in the films, we see people who perhaps are in | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
other walks of life, talking so honestly about some of the bleak | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
times they have experienced. I think it is amazing. | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
You see people having these important conversations which have | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
changed their life. It is really exciting to see these people. And | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
there are highs and lows in these chats. There is a lot of laughs, | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
which sounds counterintuitive, but sometimes it is very funny when | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
people say very heartfelt things. There is quite a lot of comedy along | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
the way. People have overcome a lot of the challenges because they have | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
had these initial conversations, certainly we did. And you can see | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
the sense of relief, as people recount their stories of having | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
those conversations and it really lifting. | :17:25. | :17:37. | |
Do you think back and think, how different it could have been if this | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
had not happened? Absolutely, it is a life-changing moment. We feel so | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
passionately about getting mums together, just sharing the good bits | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
and the bad bits together. Relaunched something called Marched | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Together. Very recently, we heard the Duchess of Cambridge talking | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
about motherhood. She said it has been rewarding and wonderful, | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
however, even at times it has been a huge challenge, even for me, who has | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
a support. You must be delighted to hear someone with all of her help | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
saying that? It can be great, if we are all more honest about the | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
challenges, like the long days alone, and the hormones and all of | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
the things that she did such a wonderful job of describing fish | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
people will go into it with their eyes open and know that they're | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
going to need a support network. It's just not a natural behaviour to | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
be spending so long alone with a small child that gives nothing back. | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
Matt is out enjoying the dawn chorus for us this morning. | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
Actually, have we missed the dawn chorus? I think you have, that was a | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
long while ago! I am in Bedfordshire, the RSPB's | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
headquarters. Beautiful gardens around us. If you are in your | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
garden, if you were in your garden for January, doing the research for | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
the RSPB, we will have more on those results in the next half an hour. It | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
was not so good for the blue chips. We have got the warmest, driest | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
weather towards the south and east of the country. A little bit wetter | :19:23. | :19:35. | |
towards the west. -- blue tits. The damp conditions extending from the | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
south-west, up into Cumbria and Northern Ireland. However, there | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
will be some dry weather around this morning and during the day. In | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
Scotland, most people starting the day dry. Eastern Scotland, a good | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
deal warmer than it was. Further south, into the Midlands, East | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
Anglia and the south-east of England, here, there's just one or | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
two showers to contend with, but very few in number. And they will be | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
rather fleeting. The rest of the day, looking dry and increasingly | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
warm across the Midlands, East Anglia and the south-east of | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
England. Even elsewhere, temperatures will hold up right | :20:15. | :20:24. | |
nicely, even though there will be some cloud. Temperatures even in the | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
cloudy it, wettest spots, into the teens. The warmest of the weather, | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
the Midlands, East Anglia and the south-east of England, and it could | :20:36. | :20:45. | |
even get up to 22 or 23 Celsius in this area in certain areas this | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
afternoon. With the winds still in the south | :20:49. | :21:03. | |
and quite a blustery day to come, temperatures will stay in double | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
figures. Friday morning starts off on a mild note. Wettest of all first | :21:07. | :21:17. | |
thing, north-west England, parts of Northern Ireland and into Scotland. | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
The rain, easing northwards, maybe lingering around Orkney and Shetland | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
the longest. Sunny spells to take us into the afternoon. Not quite as | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
warm as it will be today, but highs up towards 18 or 19, warmest across | :21:34. | :21:45. | |
East Anglia. Saturday, a mixture of sunshine and spring showers. Sunday | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
is looking the driest day of the weekend. Back to Charlie and Sally. | :21:52. | :22:03. | |
It looks absolutely magnificent there, Matt. See you later on. | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
The conflict in Syria has been raging for more than seven years, | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
causing devastation for people living throughout the country. | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
What began as a peaceful uprising against the Syrian President Bashar | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
al-Assad has escalated into a full-scale civil war | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
which has claimed the lives of more than a quarter of a million people. | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
Many more have fled the country, but what is life like | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
We can speak now to our chief international correspondent | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
Lyse Doucet, who joins us from the city of Homs | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
Sadly, we are used to seeing desperate pictures from where you | :22:35. | :22:44. | |
are, but what is life like for the people who managed to stay? Well, | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
Homs is a snapshot of the war in Syria. In the early years of the | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
war, it saw some of the biggest of the protests and some of the worst | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
of the fighting. The opposition then called this city the capital of | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
their revolution. But now the last of the rebels are leaving their last | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
stronghold in the city. Which means that in a few weeks' time, Syria's | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
third-largest city will be back in government hands. But the war is not | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
over, we heard air strikes last night, with fighting in the | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
countryside and the neighbouring areas. When you go across this city, | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
you can see the skyline behind me, entire neighbourhoods, mile after | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
mile, utterly ruined. It will be such a job to rebuild it, not just a | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
physical structure but the social fabric as well. | :23:36. | :23:50. | |
All Syrian children will be back in school, they said but they are not | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
that pledge. How hard is that challenge? It is a huge challenge, | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
we are talking about millions of children to get back to education in | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
school. It is not only about getting them back to school, but also about | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
the reconstruction of the school buildings, getting the teachers, | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
many of them are in another country. So, getting qualified teachers, | :24:16. | :24:25. | |
books and materials and also the children who are living in hard to | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
reach areas. It is even more difficult for them to get them ready | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
for the baccalaureate exam. Because they are in a besieged a region. So, | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
it is a huge challenge but we are getting there. You are also dealing | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
with the displaced, families still arriving, they will need shelter | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
Edwin yes. But then, together with the department of education, it is | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
quite strict saying that this time, no schools can be used as shelters. | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
But the need is humongous, people are taking the schools over for | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
shelter and homes. Use that's why Unicef is promoting not only back | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
campaign, but also self learning, so that they can can continue learning | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
and make sure there is no generation lost in Syria. Thank you very much | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
for joining us here. When you travel across, you can see even in the | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
midst of the ruins a little bit of life returning, some people able to | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
repair their homes. Some districts only get two hours of electricity | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
each day. The Syrian pound has lost so much value, people are struggling | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
to make ends meet. Syrians are hoping against hope that the worst | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
of the war is over. Even though this is a very divided country, so many | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
Syrians want nothing more than for this conflict to end. Sadly, that's | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
still not incite. We will be speaking to David Davis, | :25:58. | :26:12. | |
the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, in just a few | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
minutes. Before that, we're going to go to Steph. People still spending a | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
lot of money? Yes, it is interesting, isn't it? People are | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
still spending, but a lot of that money is going on credit cards, and | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
that is what we are going to talk about this morning. | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
A credit card boom and a rise in the minimum wage - | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
Steph has more on that, and the other main business stories. | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
Credit card borrowing has risen at its fastest rate | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
in more than a decade, with shoppers putting nearly | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
half a billion pounds on plastic last month. | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
That works out at about ?20 million a day. | :26:52. | :26:53. | |
Spending on credit cards grew 9.3% in the year to February. | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
It is the fastest growth rate since February 2006. | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
This week the Bank of England began a major review of lending | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
Up to 2.3 million workers will get a pay rise this Saturday, | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
The National Living Wage for over-24s will go up | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
The National Living Wage for over-25s will go up | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
The minimum wage will go up varying amounts depending on a worker's age. | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
But there are warnings it will cause pressures for employers. | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
We will be talking more about this on the programme tomorrow. | :27:19. | :27:20. | |
Remember when the Samsung's Note 7 phones had to be recalled | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
Well, now, the phone maker is hoping to win back customers | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
with the launch of the latest phone, the S8. | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
Samsung was hit hard by the recall, costing them more than ?4 billion. | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
Coming up in a moment on the BBC News Channel is Business Live. | :27:36. | :30:57. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. | :30:58. | :31:10. | |
Plans to repatriate more than 40 years worth of powers | :31:11. | :31:16. | |
from the European Union will start this morning with the publication | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
The Government paper intends to convert thousands of EU | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
House of Commons officials have described the process as one | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
of the largest legislative projects ever undertaken in the UK. | :31:28. | :31:35. | |
Let's speak to the Secretary of State for Exiting the EU, David | :31:36. | :31:42. | |
Davis, speaking to us from our London studio. Thank you for your | :31:43. | :31:43. | |
time this morning, can we pick up on the reaction to the notification | :31:44. | :31:48. | |
yesterday of what our plans are and our negotiating terms. The first | :31:49. | :31:52. | |
issue that has arisen, possibly for lots of people the first indicator | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
of how difficult this may well be, is the fact that Theresa May has in | :31:57. | :32:01. | |
some people's eyes, certainly many in Europe, linked security to trade | :32:02. | :32:06. | |
negotiations. Why are we putting security on the table as a | :32:07. | :32:10. | |
bargaining chip? It is not a bargaining chip, but she was doing, | :32:11. | :32:14. | |
in a letter which was seen widely across Europe as very positive, I | :32:15. | :32:22. | |
spoke to basta numbers people yesterday afternoon and all sounded | :32:23. | :32:24. | |
positive, but what she was pointing out, quite rightly, is full both | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
ourselves and Europeans, if we don't replace the Justice and home affairs | :32:29. | :32:32. | |
arrangements we currently have with Europe which disappear when we leave | :32:33. | :32:38. | |
Europe then it will create problems. We have got to do a security | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
negotiation in order to replace what we have, it is as simple as that. | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
Some people say they understand the issue of going in hard on bargaining | :32:48. | :32:52. | |
and also saves simultaneously there are sometimes things that you want | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
to separate out because it is the right thing to do, and people, by | :32:56. | :33:05. | |
saying today separating the safety of European counterparts, those who | :33:06. | :33:08. | |
live in the rest of Europe, we should separate that from the rest | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
of negotiations because it is non-negotiable, we should still care | :33:12. | :33:14. | |
and offer the same levels of security as we do now. Let's be | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
plain, that is what we want to do but it has to be negotiated because | :33:20. | :33:23. | |
we have got to replace what currently exists, the Justice and | :33:24. | :33:28. | |
home affairs strand of European law, because that is going to disappear. | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
As we leave the European Union, that arrangement will disappear so we | :33:34. | :33:35. | |
have to replace it with something else. What she was doing was | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
pointing out if we do not do it it will be bad for both of us, which | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
seems practical, sensible, responsible from a Prime Minister | :33:44. | :33:47. | |
who was the longest serving Home Secretary in modern times and one | :33:48. | :33:51. | |
who negotiated many of these arrangements with Europol, the | :33:52. | :33:55. | |
European arrest warrant, data exchange arrangements, which help | :33:56. | :33:58. | |
protect us and Europeans, and that is what we are intending to do. What | :33:59. | :34:05. | |
we are after is a very broad, comprehensive agreement that covers | :34:06. | :34:08. | |
everything, and she was people security and at the same time | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
secures people's prosperity, and we want to do that for us and for | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
Europe because we want a strong, powerful, safe, stable Europe as | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
well. On the issue of being plain about things, let's look at what | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
Angela Merkel has said. She immediately rejected the idea of | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
sorting out the so-called divorce deal before the terms of beauty | :34:28. | :34:32. | |
business. That is categorically different from what you want to do, | :34:33. | :34:41. | |
you want to sit down, am I right, with your counterpart and do the two | :34:42. | :34:43. | |
things together? Angela Merkel has said that is not going to happen. | :34:44. | :34:46. | |
Firstly it was a bit more subtle, if you will forgive me. Secondly, | :34:47. | :34:50. | |
negotiations have not started yet, as you said earlier people take | :34:51. | :34:55. | |
strong position at the beginning, we are not going to engage in a | :34:56. | :34:58. | |
negotiation until after the council of 27 leaders have given a response, | :34:59. | :35:03. | |
which will happen in a month's time, so the proper thing is to wait for | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
that. In terms of the substance, yes, we want to do things together | :35:08. | :35:16. | |
because we have a lot to do and want to get on with it and we think we | :35:17. | :35:18. | |
shouldn't wait on making decisions on the trade arrangements, ongoing | :35:19. | :35:20. | |
security arrangements any longer than we have do. One area where we | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
do agree is we all want to sort out the issue of European citizens, the | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
rights and privileges, protection of them, European citizens there and | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
British citizens on the continent, and do that as soon as possible. So | :35:34. | :35:37. | |
far you have not done much to reassure people, this is a message | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
from someone who got in touch is that, how it's David Davis going to | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
ensure the rights of expats in Europe? My family and I are in | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
France and feel we are living with the sword of Damocles hanging by a | :35:51. | :35:53. | |
frayed thread above our heads. When will he take the stance of offering | :35:54. | :36:00. | |
rather than demanding? You heard the calls before but now we are in the | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
real thing so why can't you make that bold claim? The reason we have | :36:04. | :36:09. | |
taken the strategy we have is to protect everybody, those in the UK | :36:10. | :36:15. | |
but also Brits in France, Spain, Italy and all the other European | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
countries. And we raised, before Christmas, this with the other | :36:21. | :36:23. | |
European countries and they didn't want to deal with it then, so we | :36:24. | :36:27. | |
want to get on with it as soon as possible and that is why we wanted | :36:28. | :36:31. | |
to be first on the agenda. That is what it will be, I'm quite sure, | :36:32. | :36:35. | |
everybody will agree once the negotiations start it will be first | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
on the agenda and we will resolve both sides of the question as fast | :36:39. | :36:48. | |
as possible. Devo Rod Studd, who he will be sitting opposite, have you | :36:49. | :36:55. | |
spoken to him yet... Yes, we have a few conversations. He is the | :36:56. | :36:59. | |
principal negotiator for the European Parliament. He will be | :37:00. | :37:14. | |
involved but not directly. His quote yesterday, he said, you can never be | :37:15. | :37:18. | |
better off outside than inside. He said it is not revenge or punishment | :37:19. | :37:26. | |
but pure logic. I don't see how that is logical. If we arrange a good | :37:27. | :37:30. | |
free trade agreement between ourselves and the European Union, I | :37:31. | :37:36. | |
will not say straightforward, it is a big, ambitious project but it is | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
possible to do, and at the same time from our point of view we improve | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
trade with the rest of the world, how is that logically less well off | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
than we are now? Can I ask one other thing? I notice from the other side | :37:49. | :37:53. | |
of the table, as it were, European Union saying clearly they want to be | :37:54. | :37:58. | |
transparent, they want the public to know everything about effectively | :37:59. | :38:01. | |
day by Day what is going on in the talks. In the past you said you | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
don't want to play it like that, will you be forced into a situation | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
where we, and more importantly the general public, will know what is | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
going on? On the contrary, you are misrepresenting my position. | :38:14. | :38:36. | |
What I've said from the beginning, the very first hearing I had with | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
one of the Parliament select committees, I said in terms we want | :38:40. | :38:42. | |
to be as open as is possible with British Parliament and therefore the | :38:43. | :38:44. | |
British public, and indeed we undertake to ensure the British | :38:45. | :38:46. | |
Parliament gets at least as much information as the European | :38:47. | :38:48. | |
Parliament and therefore the European institutions. We have also | :38:49. | :38:50. | |
said in negotiations sometimes things are not done in the public | :38:51. | :38:53. | |
sphere, some of them are done more quietly in order to facilitate | :38:54. | :38:55. | |
progress, and that will probably happen, I imagine the European | :38:56. | :38:57. | |
commission will do that. Our aim at the end of this is to get the best | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
possible deal for Britain, incidentally the best possible deal | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
for Europe as well, because it is in both our interests, and we will do | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
that as openly as possible. David Davis, thank you very much for your | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
time, Secretary of State for Exiting the EU Rabin union. | :39:13. | :39:17. | |
You are watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :39:18. | :39:19. | |
A privately-owned helicopter with five people on board has | :39:20. | :39:21. | |
It's thought the craft was travelling from Milton Keynes | :39:22. | :39:24. | |
to Dublin, when it went missing over Caernarfon Bay. | :39:25. | :39:26. | |
Rescue teams have been searching parts of Snowdonia | :39:27. | :39:28. | |
A federal judge in the US state of Hawaii has extended | :39:29. | :39:33. | |
the suspension of President Trump's travel ban for an indefinite period. | :39:34. | :39:38. | |
It means Mr Trump will be barred from enforcing his revised ban | :39:39. | :39:41. | |
on six mostly Muslim states while it is contested in court. | :39:42. | :39:48. | |
Public Health England has published guidelines for the amount of sugar | :39:49. | :39:50. | |
that should be in foods, such as breakfast cereals | :39:51. | :39:52. | |
The aim is to reduce the amount of sugar children consume by 20% | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
People can expect to see a reduction in the size of products. | :39:57. | :40:02. | |
We expect people to see over time smaller chocolate bars, smaller | :40:03. | :40:08. | |
cakes, smaller biscuits, particularly when they eat away from | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
home in family restaurant and so on. We also expect people not to notice | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
the changes because we know if changes are gradually made to our | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
food generally we don't notice them, bread is now 40% less salty than ten | :40:22. | :40:24. | |
years ago, I bet you haven't noticed. | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
Senior executives from companies like Microsoft, Facebook and Google | :40:30. | :40:33. | |
will meet the Home Secretary later to discuss ways to tackle extremism | :40:34. | :40:37. | |
online. Amber Rudd will ask them to do more to help counter terrorism by | :40:38. | :40:43. | |
focusing on areas like extremist content and encryption. | :40:44. | :40:45. | |
Organisers of the Oscars say they will continue to work with the | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
accountancy firm PwC despite the famous mistake which led to a La La | :40:51. | :40:53. | |
Land being announced as one of the best picture award. Let's look at | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
the moment Hollywood realised someone had not followed the script. | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
To make sure the mistake does not happen again, there will be an extra | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
accountant on hand and electronic devices will be banned backstage. | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
I'm not sure what part of electronic devices played, was it not just an | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
envelope mistake? Few envelopes, maybe? | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
I don't know. Should we remind everybody that it is Warren Beatty's | :41:19. | :41:23. | |
birthday today. And there we have Warren Beatty right at the centre of | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
that scandal at the Oscars! And he often watches Breakfast, so | :41:28. | :41:29. | |
we should say happy birthday! Coming up here on Breakfast | :41:30. | :41:38. | |
this morning... First of all I will show you some | :41:39. | :41:47. | |
recipes with four. Delia Smith has been cooking on TV the decades, we | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
will show you how her programmes are being used to stir up memories for | :41:52. | :41:53. | |
with dementia. They were the place where | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
a meal cost just ?1. 100 years on from the introduction | :41:59. | :42:01. | |
of National Kitchens, we'll hear from one man hoping | :42:02. | :42:03. | |
to revive them. My dad used to say, David, laughter | :42:04. | :42:11. | |
is the best medicine. Which is why, when I was six, I nearly died from | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
diphtheria. Dad, I can't breathe! Knock, knock... | :42:17. | :42:20. | |
And, biomedical science isn't the most obvious | :42:21. | :42:21. | |
route into stand-up, but it worked for Phoenix | :42:22. | :42:23. | |
After 8.30am, he'll be here to tell us about his unusual | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
He was in fact a biomedical scientist, that big isn't a joke, he | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
really was! If a picture could tell a story, | :42:33. | :42:40. | |
this surely would be it? Guess, a very difficult race for Jo | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
Pavey at the 2007 world Championships. She crossed the line | :42:45. | :42:47. | |
in fourth place but ten years on she will receive a bronze medal because | :42:48. | :42:52. | |
an athlete who finished ahead of her has been disqualified from the race | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
for doping offences, so you can imagine mixed emotions and a bit of | :42:57. | :42:59. | |
a what if moment because, had she won the medal ten years ago, how | :43:00. | :43:09. | |
different things might have been for her, perhaps sponsorship deals and | :43:10. | :43:11. | |
things? But she has the medal, at least, a long time coming for her. | :43:12. | :43:13. | |
She's won European medals and Commonwealth medals but now ten | :43:14. | :43:15. | |
years after the event, she'll receive that major global | :43:16. | :43:17. | |
medal that's missing from her collection. | :43:18. | :43:27. | |
Turkey's Elvan Abeylegesse won the silver but has been | :43:28. | :43:29. | |
retrospectively disqualified for doping. | :43:30. | :43:30. | |
Which means Pavey's been promoted to third. | :43:31. | :43:32. | |
Johanna Konta's become the first British woman to reach | :43:33. | :43:34. | |
She came from behind to beat third seed Simona Halep. | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
The Romanian took the first set 6-3 but Konta recovered to level | :43:39. | :43:40. | |
Konta took complete control in the deciding set, | :43:41. | :43:47. | |
winning 6-2 to earn a place in the last four, where she'll | :43:48. | :43:50. | |
Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez says he wants to play in a team | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
that is 'winning things' and has a 'winning mentality'. | :43:55. | :44:03. | |
His comments came at a promotional event in Chile and will add | :44:04. | :44:06. | |
to speculation that he could leave in the summer. | :44:07. | :44:09. | |
With 15 months left on his current deal, he's yet to sign | :44:10. | :44:11. | |
Manchester City's women will be hoping to book | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
their place in the semi-finals of the Champions | :44:16. | :44:17. | |
They take a 1-0 lead into their quarter-final second leg | :44:18. | :44:26. | |
at home to Danish side Fortuna Yerring. | :44:27. | :44:28. | |
This season is City's first in the Champions League and they're | :44:29. | :44:31. | |
the only British side left in the competition. | :44:32. | :44:33. | |
And finally, the statue that's been causing a bit | :44:34. | :44:35. | |
One that Cristiano Ronaldo might not be completely happy with. | :44:36. | :44:45. | |
It was being unveiled at Madeira's international airport, | :44:46. | :44:47. | |
They're renaming it the Cristiano Ronaldo Airport | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
and to honour that they presented this magnificent bronze bust. | :44:52. | :44:56. | |
It's like this is in question, I'll let you decide what you think about | :44:57. | :45:02. | |
it. He looks like you may be having a | :45:03. | :45:08. | |
bit of a giggle himself. There is a cartoon feel to it. | :45:09. | :45:12. | |
Maybe that is the look they were going for! | :45:13. | :45:15. | |
Do you think they did it in a bit of a rush? | :45:16. | :45:20. | |
Who knows? It will be bad for a while, anyway. | :45:21. | :45:20. | |
Thank you very much. The UK coastguard has | :45:21. | :45:42. | |
suspended its search for a private helicopter which went missing over | :45:43. | :45:44. | |
Caernarfon Bay in north Wales Five people were onboard | :45:45. | :45:47. | |
the aircraft, which was en route to Dublin from Milton Keynes | :45:48. | :45:50. | |
when it disappeared. Let's get the very latest | :45:51. | :45:52. | |
from Mark Rodaway from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency | :45:53. | :45:55. | |
who can update us. The maritime search was suspended | :45:56. | :45:58. | |
last night, we had to macro coastguard helicopters to covering | :45:59. | :46:00. | |
the intended flight path of the helicopter -- two Coast Guard | :46:01. | :46:07. | |
helicopters. They covered that very well, to within 15 miles of the | :46:08. | :46:10. | |
Irish coast and then they did the return leg, but the wiry is running | :46:11. | :46:16. | |
-- the enquiries running concurrently has shifted the focus | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
in land and in a police led operation we are now supporting | :46:22. | :46:27. | |
within the Snowdonia national park. The latest is that we have seven | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
mountain rescue teams committed to that search along with a dog search | :46:33. | :46:39. | |
team. Conditions are very challenging indeed. The mountain | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
rescue teams are reporting visibility down to ten feet at | :46:45. | :46:49. | |
times. So they are having to proceed with a degree of caution and that is | :46:50. | :46:54. | |
also hampering the Coast Guard air rescue coordination centre in | :46:55. | :46:57. | |
committing more coastguards and search aircraft to support that | :46:58. | :47:02. | |
effort. But we are told by the Met office that conditions will steadily | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
improve as the morning moves on and as soon as we have the ability to | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
safely put Coast Guard helicopters into the mountain is we will do. If | :47:12. | :47:17. | |
you could clarify one point, you said enquiries running concurrently | :47:18. | :47:23. | |
with the search going on yesterday, what do you mean by that? You might | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
have information that suggests the helicopter might have come down on | :47:29. | :47:33. | |
land after all? There is a range of enquiries that we will engage with | :47:34. | :47:36. | |
and we will work closely with air traffic control and we are looking | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
at a review of radar information, and obviously we will look for | :47:41. | :47:48. | |
mobile phone data. All of that combined has given us a new focus in | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
and around the Snowdonia national park. Thanks for joining us. In a | :47:54. | :48:08. | |
few minutes we will be talking about dementia, and a new project, which | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
is showing old clips from television and radio and seeing how it helps | :48:13. | :48:15. | |
people with their memory, people suffering from dementia. It seems to | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
help them enormously, that is the interesting thing. | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
Now a look at this morning's weather. | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
Matt has been out with the dawn chorus. That was a couple of hours | :48:29. | :48:35. | |
ago. It's early was, we are at the RSPB headquarters, stunning | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
location, this is the kind of outside broadcast that I like. If | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
you are one of the people who were out in the garden at the end of | :48:45. | :48:50. | |
January taking part in the big garden project, the results are out | :48:51. | :48:55. | |
today. Very good morning to you, Jamie. It has been a good year for | :48:56. | :49:00. | |
the birds from the bird watch survey, but there have been a few | :49:01. | :49:05. | |
losers. Bluetits have not done so well, great tips, this is down to | :49:06. | :49:13. | |
the poor weather last spring. The lack of caterpillars that they need | :49:14. | :49:19. | |
to feed their checks will stop who were the big winners? Robbins are | :49:20. | :49:27. | |
doing very well, waxwings, Red Wings, all turning up in people's | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
gardens, and they are finding food, berries and seeds and that is thanks | :49:32. | :49:36. | |
to people giving nature home. Adding a bit of extra wildlife to your | :49:37. | :49:39. | |
garden is always a big boost, and the weather has a big part to play? | :49:40. | :49:45. | |
The easterly winds and the cold weather in Scandinavia and Russia | :49:46. | :49:48. | |
will have brought the migrants down, the waxwings would have come further | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
south and west in search of the juicy berries. Thanks for joining | :49:53. | :50:01. | |
us. There will be more online in terms of the results, but now back | :50:02. | :50:04. | |
to the weather forecast. A lovely start here, but not the same | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
everywhere, because whilst we have the sunshine and warmth in the | :50:09. | :50:11. | |
eastern parts of the country, in the west it is a different story. The | :50:12. | :50:16. | |
rain will come and go. These are the details. Bursts of rain around at | :50:17. | :50:21. | |
the moment, and there is some brighter weather to be had in these | :50:22. | :50:26. | |
areas and it went rain all day long. The far west of Wales looks like it | :50:27. | :50:29. | |
will stay rather grey and misty and damp, and that extends through the | :50:30. | :50:33. | |

Scotland, not a bad day in store, most places dry, there is some rain | :50:44. | :50:49. | |
around, but a warm start to the East of Scotland compare the two recent | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
days, as is the case across the North East of England, but a few | :50:53. | :50:58. | |
spots of rain. Very few showers in number in the south and South East, | :50:59. | :51:03. | |
and most able will be starting the day dry and it will be a day of dry | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
and sunny conditions in East Anglia and the south-east and the Midlands. | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
Some rain close to the Irish Sea, heavy bursts, especially this | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
afternoon in parts of Scotland, as we go through the second half of the | :51:18. | :51:22. | |
day. There will be a few gaps anyway rain all day long. Even where you | :51:23. | :51:27. | |
have rain and cloud, temperatures have had a boost, reaching the | :51:28. | :51:31. | |
mid-teens foremost and towards parts of the Midlands and East Anglia, | :51:32. | :51:36. | |
even the low 20s, 23 the potential high this afternoon, to the north of | :51:37. | :51:42. | |
London. We stick with the mild conditions, but wetter across those | :51:43. | :51:45. | |
in the West and parts of Scotland, and heavy bursts to take us into the | :51:46. | :51:51. | |
morning. A fairly cloudy start a Friday morning, mild, not as windy, | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
patchy rain in the East, and some of the wettest conditions will be | :51:58. | :51:59. | |
north-west England, Eastern Northern Ireland and across Scotland. The | :52:00. | :52:05. | |
afternoon on Friday across most parts of UK looking dry and sunny | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
spells, not as warm as today, but given the fact it is much, still | :52:11. | :52:13. | |
feeling very pleasant when the sunshine is out. -- it is March. | :52:14. | :52:19. | |
Saturday turning cooler, typical spring day, sunshine and showers. | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
When you get a downpour it could be heavy for time, potentially hail as | :52:25. | :52:29. | |
well, turning cooler, and that will lead to a chilly start on Sunday, | :52:30. | :52:33. | |
but that is the driest day of the weekend with plenty of sunshine | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
around. The weekend is a mixture of two halves, as is today. Wettest in | :52:38. | :52:43. | |
the West and driest in the east, but here it is a stunning start to the | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
day, and we could see highs of around 22-23 degrees. Back to the | :52:48. | :52:56. | |

of the material on offer. I'm going to start off by showing | :53:19. | :53:22. | |
you a few recipes for offal. First of all I've got what I think | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
is a lovely winter dish and this Oxtail really has the most | :53:27. | :53:32. | |
delicious flavour. I've got three bags which were all | :53:33. | :53:35. | |
made in exactly the same way, but if you make them different sizes | :53:36. | :53:38. | |
you can use them ARCHIVE NEWS: After her gallant | :53:39. | :53:40. | |

than any other animal I know. Joining us now is Derek Clegg | :53:58. | :54:10. | |
who has dementia and Norman Alm, who's has been working as an advisor | :54:11. | :54:16. | |
on the RemArc project. Thanks for agreeing to talk to us | :54:17. | :54:26. | |
about this because I know you have or would he been diagnosed with | :54:27. | :54:28. | |
dementia and you have some challenges that you have to work | :54:29. | :54:33. | |
with everyday -- you have already been diagnosed. You have been | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
watching old television clips, how has that help? It brings back | :54:38. | :54:46. | |
memories. All programmes that we used to watch. The generation game. | :54:47. | :54:59. | |
Come dancing. Z cars. Dixon of Dock Green, that is going back a long | :55:00. | :55:05. | |
while. It really is. It gets your memory thinking about things and it | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
is really good. The idea is that seeing something like that will jog | :55:10. | :55:12. | |
your memory and you will remember other things, as a result, is that | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
what has happened? That is what happens, yes. What kind of thing? | :55:17. | :55:22. | |
What we used to do in the olden days for top when I was younger. Many | :55:23. | :55:35. | |
moons ago. We used to go to the clubs. Dance halls. It brings back | :55:36. | :55:41. | |
memories. I can't remember much about when I was younger. The bill | :55:42. | :55:47. | |
will understand, listening to you, and hearing your struggle to | :55:48. | :55:52. | |
remember little bits, the first thing they will think how brave of | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
you to come on and talk about it, because it is perfect evidence of | :55:57. | :55:59. | |
the struggle that people have on a daily basis just to remember little | :56:00. | :56:07. | |
things. Dementia attacks short-term memory, and we need that to do | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
practically anything during the day, especially conversation, and we lose | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
the ability to communicate. We made a discovery and that is if you have | :56:17. | :56:23. | |
a very large collection of publicly available photographs and film clips | :56:24. | :56:26. | |
and music, this can stimulate the personal memories of people with | :56:27. | :56:32. | |
dementia and they can then tell stories, and they don't look at this | :56:33. | :56:39. | |
for what it is, they see details and then they can tell their personal | :56:40. | :56:44. | |
story. When you watch footage from many years ago, does it feel | :56:45. | :56:48. | |
different to you compared to when you watch television every day? Very | :56:49. | :56:56. | |
much. Very old-fashioned. LAUGHTER I can't believe some of the | :56:57. | :57:03. | |
programmes we used to watch. It's interesting, we were speaking before | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
you came on, and I was asking you about the job you used to have and | :57:09. | :57:13. | |
you instantly were able to tell me the job you did and where you work. | :57:14. | :57:19. | |
It must be so frustrating, the bits that are there and the bits that | :57:20. | :57:25. | |
aren't. Yes, if you ask me what I did yesterday, I can't tell you. But | :57:26. | :57:29. | |
you can tell me the job that you had many years ago. Yes, it is very | :57:30. | :57:37. | |
strange full stop very frustrating. Norman, how important is it that | :57:38. | :57:41. | |
people who have dementia are able to communicate in a sociable way? It is | :57:42. | :57:48. | |
vital, this is what makes us human. They can get a bit of mum and dad | :57:49. | :57:53. | |
back from their carers, but for the professional carers in their care | :57:54. | :57:57. | |
home, they can get to know the whole person and not just as a patient | :57:58. | :58:01. | |
they are looking after. You have a lot of family, Derek. Four | :58:02. | :58:09. | |
granddaughters, yes. Do you find that people are sympathetic and they | :58:10. | :58:12. | |
understand the problems that you are facing in terms of the things that | :58:13. | :58:16. | |
go missing? Some people do and some don't. I find people say, well, you | :58:17. | :58:24. | |
look OK, but how are you supposed to look? I don't look any different | :58:25. | :58:30. | |
from you, but the problem is I have a memory problem. And one problem, | :58:31. | :58:36. | |
you wouldn't know there was anything, any problems. Yes, there | :58:37. | :58:43. | |
is nothing to see, if you have a broken leg, people can see that, but | :58:44. | :58:49. | |
you can't see what is wrong with me. How can people who are watching at | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
home, who have family members with dementia, how can they access this? | :58:54. | :58:59. | |
What can they do to enhance the lives of people whose memory might | :59:00. | :59:05. | |
be going? The system is called the RemArc Project ended is on the BBC | :59:06. | :59:09. | |
website, very easy to find, it is free to use and has been designed to | :59:10. | :59:14. | |
be very simple and easy to use and these days people are using tablets, | :59:15. | :59:17. | |
and the touch-screen works very well for this situation. Very easy to get | :59:18. | :59:24. | |
to. The general principle for people with dementia is to go with them, if | :59:25. | :59:27. | |
they want to talk about the past, and if they are living in the past, | :59:28. | :59:30. | |
go with that. They can talk freely about the past. I've seen people | :59:31. | :59:36. | |
using these systems, like the BBC system, and when you come in the | :59:37. | :59:40. | |
room, you can feel there is no dementia there because the person is | :59:41. | :59:43. | |
talking away and the stories are coming out, and because of the vast | :59:44. | :59:47. | |
amount of stuff and the technology which allows instant access to it. | :59:48. | :59:52. | |
Norman, thanks, and Derek, thanks for joining us. We appreciate you | :59:53. | :59:57. | |
sharing your story with us. We will make sure that the details of the | :59:58. | :00:01. | |
scheme are on the BBC breakfast website, as well. The project is | :00:02. | :00:06. | |
called RemArc Project. Imagine going to a restaurant | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
where the meal costs just ?1. That was the aim of National | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Kitchens, set up by the Government during the First World War to help | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
ensure everyone had access to food. Well, 100 years on, there are calls | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
to revive the concept. Breakfast's Tim Muffett | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
is in Liverpool to find out more. That is an unusual Breakfast, I | :00:23. | :00:35. | |
would say that is Scouse. I'm not going their! Not your | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
typical Breakfast, beef casserole, bread roll, rice pudding for ?1. It | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
is a pretty good deal, healthy, cheap as well, and 100 years ago in | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
1917 the concept of National Kitchens first took off, the idea | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
was, during a time of food shortages in World War I, to get people eating | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
together, eating healthily. Could the idea be due for a revamp? That | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
is the brainchild of Doctor Bryce Evans from Liverpool Hope | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
University. Why do you want to bring this back and what would you be | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
doing here today? In 1917, the Ministry of Food conceives of these | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
as the future, you read the documents and they say, why are 100 | :01:16. | :01:35. | |
people in one street doing their own shopping, why don't people eat | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
together? It was conceived of as the future and then underwent demise, | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
but food poverty is a situation again today, OK there is no war, but | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
a lot of the time we try to solve it with the food bank model, so can we | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
rediscover social eating? So you will have some people eating | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
together here and you want to bring this to other cities as well? Yes, | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
we have funding from the arts Council and would to set this up in | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Nottingham, Cardiff, Manchester. If any community groups are interested | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
in getting involved, they can do, we have teamed up with an anti-food | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
waste charity today because, paid for the history in 1917, these would | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
have been run by local people, very much a local initiative with state | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
funding thrown in. You mentioned the charity, let's have a chat to the | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
people with the amazing task of bringing in these dishes under | :02:14. | :02:26. | |
budget. It is good quality food, as well. Natalie, how did you do it? | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
All of the food has been intercepted, food that otherwise | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
would have gone to landfill, so we collected from businesses, | :02:32. | :02:32. | |
supermarkets, to get the food that we have got today. How frustrating | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
is it that so much good food gets thrown away? Incredibly, this is | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
just a drop in the ocean, we can feed 100 people easily, it is the | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
tip of the iceberg, there is a huge amount of food out there not being | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
used. Gaby, what is the biggest challenge in getting these dishes | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
together under budget? We wanted to create a menu bagel to the time, so | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
we have a challenge of using what we intercept, and it is like Ready, | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
Steady, Cook to make the dish. You have kept true to the food which | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
would have been available in 1917. Yes, we have used all of the root | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
vegetable that was available, potato, stock, cheap cuts of it. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Thank you for explaining that. Let's talk to some of the volunteers who | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
will be helping, dressed in authentic clothing as well. Why are | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
you getting involved, why is it important to be aware of the | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
challenges people faced 100 years ago? We are involved today because | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
we think, as a younger generation, it is important to re-enact and | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
share the heritage of 100 years ago and bring that to life again. You | :03:42. | :03:42. | |
will be serving a lot of people today,? Yes, 150 so we are already | :03:43. | :04:11. | |
in our costumes and ready to go. You have been rearranging the plates | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
very well for us, they are perfectly aligned! Thank you very much, Neil, | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
good luck, everybody. An idea that is 100 years old, could it catch on | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
and be seen in other cities as well? For now, we will have to wait and | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
see. From me and my delightful it is back to you. | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
That is definitely Scouse, not beef stew. We were hoping, Tim, that you | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
would try a gherkin it is back to you. | :04:28. | :04:28. | |
That is definitely Scouse, not beef stew. We were hoping, Tim, that you | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
would try a border beat that you would want me to try a gherkin! | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
There you go I knew that you would want me to try a gherkin! | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
There you sour? BitterI'm not sour all bitterat nine | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
o'clock well done for trying it, even at | :04:43. | :04:56. | |
nine o'clock in the morningDave Spikey has joined us this at all. | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
I love a people died. All those years in the clubs. Exactly, yes. -- | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
I love we are back at 1:30 most obvious | :05:06. | :07:03. | |
route into stand-up, but it worked for biomedical science is not the | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
most obvious route into stand-up, but it worked for Dave Spikey it | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
says here that you it says here that as a hapless supermarket worker and | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
nightclub owner in Phoenix nights. I stopped working haematology on | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
Friday the 13th in the year 2000, turned my microscope for the last | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
time, and the next Monday are best known as a hapless supermarket | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
worker and nightclub owner in Phoenix nights. I stopped working | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
haematology on Friday the 13th in the year 2000, turned my microscope | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
for the last time, and the next Monday I as a giant Berry in a car | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
did your friends and family say Walking On Sunshine. What did your | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
friends and family saywhat are you doing?! I started doing stand-up 13 | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
years before, I did a talent show in Scarborough, at the Opera House, | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
Larry Grayson was one of the judges and what won it for me was a routine | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
about juggling on a motorbike, I used to do all sorts of things... | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
You recreated the moment there? That is what this tool is called, because | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
it is an anniversary tour. I did a routine, spoof, ridiculous stuff at | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
the end, Daft, like magic and things like that, like, Charlie, is that | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
your card? Yes... What is it doing in my bedroom? I used to do all | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
sorts of Daft stuff like that, so I start this tour with the opening | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
routine I did in 1987 and finish it with the juggling on a motorbike | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
routine and in between look at how I got there, basically. Does it stand | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
the test of time? Ridiculously so, yes, because it is so Daft. I do | :08:43. | :08:55. | |
impressions, old rubbish, Tommy Cooper-esque. Shall we have a look? | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Listen, ladies, cos you get us every time. | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
It's like you're fly fishing, you play us for a fool all the time. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
I think I've got a day off cos she says, "I'm | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
going out this morning, with Doreen shopping, | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
and then we're having lunch out, and then am having my hair | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
And just before she closes the door, she pops her head back in and says, | :09:15. | :09:25. | |
And this is where you're really, really clever. | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
The first two things on the list, a piece of cake, aren't they? | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
It goes number one, wash last night's pots. | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
My worst fear, my worst number three is 'change bedclothes'. | :09:38. | :09:48. | |
If I had to change a duvet cover on my own, I sit on the stairs | :09:49. | :10:00. | |
I don't believe you! I was ill-prepared for marriage, I didn't | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
know all of the rules, I didn't know all of by-products would go on then | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
the white coat hangers while hers go on wooden ones. As part of the tour | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
I look at my age and how things have changed, I come from an age before | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
Paul Dadge pork, we didn't pull meat in my day, it is no job for a man -- | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
pulled pork. I come from an age where I could have my dinner without | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
taking a photo of it. I like Cooperman, I find it productive. I | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
don't know, it is therapeutic for me -- I like vacuuming. That is why you | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
get left lists, if you are shoving skills in that department... Maybe | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
it is. But you know there is always that one bit it won't pick up? And | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
then eventually you bend down and pick it up and go... And you throw | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
it back down! You have picked it up, just put it in the bin! I can | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
picture you at home doing all of this! I do, yes. I do my own | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
ironing, my wife insists. She sounds marvellous! | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
The clip we saw was from the previous two, you go back quite a | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
long way, fair to say, 30 years of live gigs like that, but how did you | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
see them changing over the years? I am really fortunate, I think, once | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
you get established, in a way, you get to a certain level, you have an | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
audience and they follow you, they are loyal to you. Especially with | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
Phoenix Nights, that was my big, the big thing that started pulling in | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
the crowds, then I did Eight Out Of Ten Cats then I did Bull's-eye but | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
they have stayed with me, and I quite often get the stage manager on | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
the headphones in the gigs going, have you seen the audience? The | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
demographic is such a cross-section from teenagers to senior citizens. | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
Do you do that, have a sneaky peek through the curtains? I do, I | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
project punch lines onto the screen, I want to get laps before I get on, | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
so I take pictures of signs and things like that. You mentioned | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Tommy Cooper, is it because your humour is actually quite kind? I | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
think so, you are a product of the environment, and a look at the | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
influences, my parents and my grandparents, my grandma was like a | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
life coach for me, my grandma, she was a bit eccentric. Took me to | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
school on my first day, five, tearful, apprehensive, she shoved me | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
the gates, very dour, very matriarchal, there you go, David, | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
School. Pushed me in, I said, grandma... She is walking away, how | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
long do I stay at school for? She turned and said, until you are 16. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
I'd only got two sandwiches! So I look at my influences and how I | :13:02. | :13:12. | |
developed that sense of humour. Lovely to see you this morning, good | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
luck with the vacuuming. You have made me laugh! Thank you | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
very much for coming in today. Dave Spikey's tour is called | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
Juggling on a Motorbike and is now That's all from | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
Breakfast this morning. Now on BBC One, Arlene Phillips | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
meets elderly people determined to live life to the full, | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
in Holding Back The Years. there are more people over | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
the age of 60 than under 16. We've got some amazing volunteers | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
in their 80s and 90s. But what does growing | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
older mean for you? Difficult, sometimes | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
more than other times. | :13:50. | :13:53. |
