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.

Rescue crews search for a helicopter with five people on board missing

:00:45.:00:50.

Trying to tackle obesity - official limits are published

:00:51.:00:55.

for the amount of sugar that should be in everyday foods.

:00:56.:01:01.

A group of Deliveroo couriers is planning legal action

:01:02.:01:03.

against the food delivery firm to claim better employment rights.

:01:04.:01:06.

I'll be looking at what impact it could have.

:01:07.:01:09.

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 -

for runner Jo Pavey. Ten years after finishing fourth

:01:59.:02:01.

at the World Championships, she's to receive a bronze

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.

: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

as possible. A federal judge in the US state

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

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.

needs to know? I believe it is, Charlie, correctly identified. Yes.

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

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

of that free access to trade. Labour insisted it would

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,

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

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

even get up to 22 or 23 Celsius in this area in certain areas this

: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.

Irish Sea, around Cumbria, north-west England, the same story,

:50:34.:50:37.

splashes of rain, but Northern Ireland largely drive. Into

:50:38.:50:43.

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

:53:14.:53:18.

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

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

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.
