weekend is looking mixed. Some of us might have to run for cover today

:01:28.:01:31.

from a fuchsia hours. Tomorrow is actually looking mostly sunny.

:01:32.:01:34.

Tensions are rising over Gilbraltar's position during Brexit,

:01:35.:01:38.

after the EU gave Spain a potential veto on any future deal

:01:39.:01:41.

Last night, the government said it would stand up for Gibraltar's

:01:42.:01:45.

The enclave has accused Spain of trying to manipulate discussions,

:01:46.:01:49.

in order to further its 300-year-old sovereignty claims.

:01:50.:01:51.

Gibraltar has been in British hands in 1713. Its shares they had order

:01:52.:02:10.

since Spain, but rejects any Spanish claim of sovereignty. The current

:02:11.:02:16.

proposals mean a deal between the UK and the EU would not apply to

:02:17.:02:19.

Gibraltar without an additional agreement between the UK and Spain.

:02:20.:02:24.

Gibraltar's chief minister has rejected this as an attempt by Spain

:02:25.:02:29.

to encroach on the rock's ability to control its sovereignty. It singles

:02:30.:02:35.

out Travolta. It is unfair and unnecessary and is committed to. I

:02:36.:02:39.

am grateful Spain has been foolish enough to play this card early in

:02:40.:02:44.

this process and not at five minutes to midnight with an agreement in

:02:45.:02:47.

place, bar the issue of Gibraltar. The British government has been

:02:48.:02:50.

quick to affirm its commitment to the territory. Foreign Secretary as

:02:51.:02:55.

Johnson tweeted that the UK remains implacable and rocklike in our

:02:56.:03:02.

support for Gibraltar. But these are draft proposals, due to be finalised

:03:03.:03:08.

by the EU at the end of the month. Theresa May has until then to try to

:03:09.:03:11.

persuade them to drop this controversial clause.

:03:12.:03:14.

Later this morning we'll be speaking to Gilbratar's chief minister

:03:15.:03:16.

Two million people are set for a pay rise today,

:03:17.:03:26.

as the national living wage goes up t7.50 pounds an hour.

:03:27.:03:33.

The change, which means over-25s are paid at least 7.50

:03:34.:03:35.

an hour, has been broadly welcomed by unions.

:03:36.:03:38.

But there've been calls from campaigners for the rate to be

:03:39.:03:40.

higher to meet the true cost of living - while employers

:03:41.:03:44.

have expressed concern about the strain of additional costs.

:03:45.:03:46.

Here's our business correspondent Joe Lynam.

:03:47.:03:50.

23-year-old Lewis Davison is already paid more than the national living

:03:51.:03:55.

wage by his employer. But you certainly notice is the difference

:03:56.:03:59.

from his previous company. I was struggling for money. It was a need

:04:00.:04:05.

concern. It was very much go to work, come back, spend the night in

front of the telly. Now I can afford to have a social life and I can

:04:10.:04:14.

afford to do stuff in my local area. I can enjoy myself a bit more. From

:04:15.:04:20.

today, all workers over 25 must be paid at least ?7 50 an hour. If you

:04:21.:04:25.

are careful week you will get at least ?180. At employers are

:04:26.:04:31.

worried. Many employers were already paying their staff more than the

:04:32.:04:34.

national living wage for those who went it is adding significant costs

:04:35.:04:39.

of their businesses. About ?900 a year for staff, on average, than a

:04:40.:04:44.

further ?120 with the knock-on consequences for national insurance

:04:45.:04:48.

payments as well. Much of that cost will be absorbed by the businesses,

:04:49.:04:52.

rather than passing it forward on prices. That is not the only change.

:04:53.:04:56.

Controversial new business rates come into force today. While most

:04:57.:05:01.

companies will be paying less, some, especially in the south-east, face

:05:02.:05:06.

higher bills. And a new system for calculating car taxes start. Hybrid

:05:07.:05:11.

car owners will be paying more than they did. Around 4000 households in

:05:12.:05:17.

England owning more than ?400,000 a year have received taxpayer money to

:05:18.:05:21.

help them buy a home. Official figures also help they have been

:05:22.:05:24.

helped by the equity loan scheme, which has assisted more than 20,000

:05:25.:05:27.

households, who are not first-time buyers. Labour said it showed the

:05:28.:05:33.

initiative was badly targeted. The government said it continued to make

:05:34.:05:36.

home ownership a reality that thousands of people. Patients

referred to be NHS for fertility team in Scotland will be eligible

:05:42.:05:44.

for three full cycles of IVF treatment.

:05:45.:05:46.

From today, the Scottish government is increasing the number

:05:47.:05:48.

of cycles funded by the health service for women under 40

:05:49.:05:51.

It's expected to cost about 1-million-pounds a year.

:05:52.:05:54.

It is thought that around one in seven couples experience difficulty

:05:55.:06:05.

having children. In Scotland, up until now, women under 40 have been

:06:06.:06:09.

offered two cycles of IVF on the NHS. That is now changing to upset

:06:10.:06:17.

three. Older women between 40 and 42 will also be offered one cycle if

:06:18.:06:22.

they fit certain criteria. In other parts of the UK, the number of IVF

:06:23.:06:27.

cycles on the NHS for women under 40 varies. In England, up to three full

:06:28.:06:35.

cycles are recommended. But local commissioning groups decide, and of

:06:36.:06:39.

half the areas in England, only one cycle is offered. In Wales women

:06:40.:06:45.

under 40 are entitled to two cycles. In Northern Ireland, just one. The

IVF programme in Scotland is expected to crunch the NHS around ?1

:06:57.:07:01.

The minister says changes to IVF treatment in Scotland make it the

:07:02.:07:03.

fairest and most generous in the UK. This is the moment President Donald

:07:04.:07:08.

Trump left the Oval Office on Friday without signing the two executive

Authorities in Hungary will begin moving asylum seekers

:07:34.:07:35.

to new detention facilities near the border with Serbia in a bid

:07:36.:07:39.

to stop them slipping away deeper into Europe.

:07:40.:07:41.

But rulings by the European Court of Human Rights against the move

:07:42.:07:44.

Nick Thorpe sent this report from the Hungarian-Serbian border.

:07:45.:07:50.

This container camp is still empty. There is space here for 250 asylum

:07:51.:07:58.

seekers. So far it is home to just two families. The government says it

:07:59.:08:03.

is locking them up to close a loophole, to stop those who seek

:08:04.:08:07.

asylum in Hungary slipping away deep into Europe. But detaining asylum

:08:08.:08:15.

seekers automatically is illegal. They are treated as if they were

:08:16.:08:20.

illegal, from the first moment. So whereas the European Union's law

:08:21.:08:27.

requires to accept that they have the right to stay until the first

:08:28.:08:31.

decision, they are treated first as if they were illegal, second as if

:08:32.:08:36.

they had not entered Hungary. Call it a reception centre, call it a

looking for alternative route. This is a time of experimentation. I

times of a story about Google and their tax affairs. Inland Revenue

has been landed by a bell with Google. They have agreed to pay ?31

to halt the invasion of Afghanistan to honour Rama dance. They say that

:11:15.:11:19.

this is a plea he made to the US ambassador to London for weeks into

:11:20.:11:24.

the military operation. The Daily Telegraph has another take on a

:11:25.:11:29.

long-running MP's expenses story. They say that there is now a new

:11:30.:11:34.

development because Parliament is facing a new scandal after the

:11:35.:11:38.

amount that every MP pays their staff, including their spouses and

:11:39.:11:41.

family members, which they say has now been leaked. The picture that

situation, she is speaking for the first time about facing life with

incurable cancer. She says, "I am not going to be dying from cancer, I

the size of the Humber of. But this unique project is hoping to inspire

people to walk along its mile long length and yet lost in incredible

sounds. Opera North is working with a Norwegian composers to create this

:13:24.:13:30.

musical guided walk. It is a fantastic construction and it is so

bridge and to actually hear the sound of the Bridget felt. --

Bridge. Meanwhile the opera orchestra is doing its part. How can

:13:50.:13:54.

we blend different instruments into that and then build things on top of

:13:55.:14:00.

chords and sounds? The music just felt like it was a natural blood

:14:01.:14:06.

running through your veins. Some of these musicians are using their

:14:07.:14:17.

instruments in a very unusual way. The operator north chorus also has a

:14:18.:14:21.

part to play in creating the soundscape. It is very atmospheric.

:14:22.:14:27.

Part of the problem is that we only know our bits and there are at least

:14:28.:14:31.

seven other layers, as far as we can tell. I have no idea what the other

end product is going to be. The finished piece will be heard through

the weather will be a little bit hit and miss. We might have to run for

much indeed. Changeable! We'll be back with a summary

:18:00.:18:02.

of the news at 6:30. Now it's time for The Film Review,

:18:03.:18:05.

with Gavin Esler and Mark Kermode. Hello and welcome to

:18:06.:18:22.

The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this

:18:23.:18:25.

week's cinema releases We have Graduation, which is

:18:26.:18:27.

a low-key and intense drama. We have Ghost in the Shell,

:18:28.:18:37.

controversial live action adaptation And Free Fire, the new film

:18:38.:18:40.

from Ben Wheatley. Ben Wheatley, we are both

:18:41.:18:49.

fans of Ben Wheatley. Graduation is from Cristian Mungiu,

:18:50.:18:52.

the Romanian director of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days,

:18:53.:18:57.

which you remember we reviewed This is another low-key

:18:58.:19:00.

and very intense drama. The story is a doctor,

:19:01.:19:05.

his daughter is on her way to school, is attacked,

:19:06.:19:08.

she gets a broken wrist and the doctor is just

:19:09.:19:11.

simply worried that it He is desperate for her to get great

:19:12.:19:14.

exam grades because he wants to be He is convinced that she needs

:19:15.:19:19.

to get away because the place that they live is not somewhere

:19:20.:19:24.

that he wants his daughter And all he can focus on is this

:19:25.:19:27.

desire for her to get As a result of it, he starts

:19:28.:19:31.

getting drawn into a web Somebody knows somebody

:19:32.:19:35.

who could perhaps ensure that her exam grades are OK,

:19:36.:19:38.

but only in return for a favour for a deputy mayor who needs to be

:19:39.:19:42.

moved up in his wait The daughter, understandably,

:19:43.:19:45.

is not pleased about the idea It really is and you see

:19:46.:19:49.

from that single shot, What I love about this

:19:50.:20:54.

is it's a perfect blend On one hand, it's a story

:20:55.:20:58.

about a father and a daughter, on the other hand it's

:20:59.:21:03.

a story about how social Every conversation is,

:21:04.:21:05.

ooh, that building's Yes, it will be a backroom deal,

:21:06.:21:08.

well, isn't everything? It's a film in which

:21:09.:21:14.

the personalities of the characters completely draw you in,

:21:15.:21:17.

and you believe in their personal stories, but you also understand

:21:18.:21:20.

that it's telling a wider story, about what it means to grow up

:21:21.:21:22.

in a society in which everything seems to be sort of slightly

:21:23.:21:26.

on the wrong side And, as is so brilliant with this

:21:27.:21:29.

director, what he manages to do is get to that point across,

:21:30.:21:35.

but never sounds hectoring, you never feel like what you're

:21:36.:21:38.

watching is a political statement. What you feel you're watching

:21:39.:21:41.

is a really intense drama in which the doctor,

:21:42.:21:43.

for example, he's concerned about his daughter,

:21:44.:21:46.

but he has a mistress. At one point he says

:21:47.:21:48.

to his wife, everyone cheats And he says, yeah,

:21:49.:21:50.

and look where it got you! So it's a really interesting film

:21:51.:21:57.

about guilt and complicity. Some people have compared him

:21:58.:21:59.

to Michael Haneke, haven't they? Because lots of bad things

:22:00.:22:02.

are happening under the surface Although I think, personally,

:22:03.:22:05.

I think there's a lot more tenderness, a lot more humanity

:22:06.:22:09.

in what's happening here. Haneke's films are terrific,

:22:10.:22:13.

but they're very harsh, very sharp and sometimes accusatory,

:22:14.:22:17.

I think. Live action adaptation

:22:18.:22:19.

of a celebrated manga, and of course a famous 1995 anime,

:22:20.:22:28.

which people revere Scarlett Johansson is Major,

:22:29.:22:30.

a human ghost in a cyber She's a person, she's

:22:31.:22:34.

a robot, she's a weapon. That film has become

:22:35.:22:38.

the cause of some controversy about whitewashing,

:22:39.:22:42.

and about the fact that Scarlett Johansson

:22:43.:22:44.

was cast in this role. It has to be said, the director

:22:45.:22:46.

of the '95 anime has said, and I quote, "There is no basis

:22:47.:22:49.

for saying that an Asian actor must It is a controversy that

:22:50.:22:53.

has dogged the film, Like the plot of the film itself,

:22:54.:22:56.

you can look at this and think, well, it's a soul of one thing

:22:57.:23:01.

transplanted into a shell which is slightly artificial

:23:02.:23:04.

and slightly more glossy. However, I was strangely

:23:05.:23:06.

impressed by it. I went in with fairly

:23:07.:23:08.

low expectations. I think it does a very good job

:23:09.:23:10.

of evoking the future world. People have talked about it

:23:11.:23:15.

looking like Blade Runner, it looks more like The Fifth

:23:16.:23:17.

Element, oddly enough. I found that, yes, it changed

:23:18.:23:20.

and simplified the narrative to some extent and it loses some

:23:21.:23:28.

of the melancholy and depth of its predecessors,

:23:29.:23:31.

but as a piece of multiplex entertainment it was better

:23:32.:23:33.

than I expected it to be OK, so, the new film

:23:34.:23:36.

by Ben Wheatley. The story is in Boston in the 1970s

:23:37.:23:44.

there is an arms deal going down between a group of people,

:23:45.:23:50.

all of whom are The whole thing looks very volatile

:23:51.:23:53.

and looks like at any moment it could fall apart appallingly,

:23:54.:23:57.

and of course it does. Try not to hit any of the metal

:23:58.:23:59.

work, because I don't want to get any of those bling burns

:24:00.:24:04.

on my new... I don't know about you guys,

:24:05.:24:07.

but I for one think Vern's My guess is you're whatever

:24:08.:24:20.

you're paid to be, pal. What I really like about it is this,

:24:21.:24:24.

on the one hand it's a tense drama about a bunch of people

:24:25.:25:06.

in a warehouse, all of whom are armed and all of whom are fighting

:25:07.:25:10.

each other in various different However, it also has a kind

:25:11.:25:13.

of screwball comedy element. The best way of describing it,

:25:14.:25:16.

it's like a silent movie, slapstick sensibility,

:25:17.:25:19.

but with a soundtrack which reminds you of those

:25:20.:25:21.

Loony Tunes cartoons, that is really, really

:25:22.:25:25.

brilliantly put together. It keeps you on the

:25:26.:25:27.

edge of your seat. It's tense, but also

:25:28.:25:29.

very, very comic. The idea is that all of these

:25:30.:25:32.

people are variously They're all laughed at,

:25:33.:25:37.

from their ridiculous quotes Vernon keeps saying "watch

:25:38.:25:43.

and vern, watch and vern." What I liked about it,

:25:44.:25:47.

I think what Ben Wheatley and his film making partner Amy Jump

:25:48.:25:50.

managed to do is make it a cross-genre film,

:25:51.:25:53.

which they always do. OK, yes, it's a thriller,

:25:54.:25:57.

but it's also a comedy, It's a comedy about the fact

:25:58.:26:00.

that if you take... People have compared it to,

:26:01.:26:05.

they say it's like the last movement It's like that sequence

:26:06.:26:08.

in Naked Gun 2 1/2, when there's the close-range gunfight,

:26:09.:26:14.

with two people hiding behind the same dustbin,

:26:15.:26:16.

but it's like that that, It passes the six laughs test

:26:17.:26:19.

in the first ten minutes. It's passed the six laughs test

:26:20.:26:29.

in the last two minutes. You were laughing

:26:30.:26:32.

all the way through. I'm laughing at you

:26:33.:26:34.

talking about it. OK, fine, so it's me

:26:35.:26:36.

you're laughing at! But Cillian Murphy, Brie Larson,

:26:37.:26:38.

Sharlto Copley, Armie Hammer, a really terrific cast,

:26:39.:26:40.

and every single one of them clearly rising to the challenge of this,

:26:41.:26:43.

thinking it's a great script. I know nobody ever comes out

:26:44.:26:46.

of the cinema and says this, LAUGHS

:26:47.:26:51.

I think you sold that quite well. This is out in cinemas

:26:52.:26:54.

at the moment. Have you seen this yet?

:26:55.:26:59.

No, I haven't see it yet. It's described by its director

:27:00.:27:02.

as a social thriller, and it's very much influenced

:27:03.:27:05.

by Rosemary's Baby But it also alludes to horror movies

:27:06.:27:07.

like Red State and Green Room and also to films like Tales from

:27:08.:27:12.

the Hood and To Sleep With Anger. It's a sort of horrifying satire

:27:13.:27:16.

about racism in post-racial America, about liberal, rich white people,

:27:17.:27:19.

with this broiling I saw it in a packed cinema and it

:27:20.:27:21.

really played to the crowd. It's done terrifically well

:27:22.:27:29.

and I think it's great. A coming-of-age drama that

:27:30.:27:32.

appears to be written and directed by someone

:27:33.:27:35.

who likes the protagonist. It's smart, funny, intelligent

:27:36.:27:39.

and terrific performances by Hailee Steinfeld

:27:40.:27:43.

and Woody Harrelson. And Kelly Fremon Craig who wrote

:27:44.:27:45.

and directed it, I think, I thought it was really touching,

:27:46.:27:48.

very tender and very funny. Since this is our last Film Review

:27:49.:27:52.

let's get a summary Tensions are rising over

:29:34.:29:36.

Gilbraltar's position during Brexit, after the EU gave Spain a potential

:29:37.:29:40.

veto on any future deal The enclave's administration accused

:29:41.:29:43.

Spain of trying to manipulate the discussions, in order to further

:29:44.:29:51.

its 300-year-old sovereignty claims. Last night, the Foreign Secretary,

:29:52.:29:54.

Boris Johnson, said the government would be "implacable

:29:55.:29:57.

and rock-like" in its support 2 million people are set

:29:58.:29:59.

for a pay rise today, as the national living wage goes up

:30:00.:30:04.

to 7.50 pounds an hour. The change has been broadly

:30:05.:30:09.

welcomed by unions. But there've been calls

:30:10.:30:11.

from campaigners for the rate to be higher to meet the true cost

:30:12.:30:14.

of living, while employers have expressed concern about

:30:15.:30:18.

the strain of additional costs. Around 4,000 households in England

:30:19.:30:20.

earning more than 100,000 pounds a year have received taxpayers'

:30:21.:30:23.

money to help them buy a home. Official figures also reveal

:30:24.:30:26.

that the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme has assisted more than 20,000

:30:27.:30:29.

households who were not Labour said it showed the initiative

cycles of IVF treatment. From today, the Scottish government

:30:49.:30:51.

is increasing the number of cycles funded by the health

:30:52.:30:53.

service for women under 40 It's expected to cost about 1

:30:54.:30:56.

million pounds a year. Protesters in Paraguay have stormed

:30:57.:31:12.

the Congress and set fire to the building as anger grows at moves to

constitution ended the one term limit. Campaigners say Paraguay's

democracy is under threat. The artist Gilbert Baker,

:31:27.:31:32.

who created the rainbow flag that became an international symbol

:31:33.:31:38.

:32:04.:32:14.

about today? Not really. It is a pool full day! And it is 60 years

:32:15.:32:18.

since television viewers first saw this. The past winter, one of the

:32:19.:32:23.

mildest in living memory, has had its effect in other ways as well.

:32:24.:32:27.

Most important of all it has resulted in an exceptionally heavy

:32:28.:32:34.

spaghetti crop. That is still great. It is Panorama's famous spaghetti

:32:35.:32:35.

tree report. The three minute broadcast

:32:36.:32:38.

was watched by 8 million people. Unfortunately, some viewers failed

:32:39.:32:41.

to see the funny side, but others were so intrigued

:32:42.:32:43.

they contacted the BBC to ask where they could purchase

:32:44.:32:46.

their very own tree. Those are the main

:32:47.:32:48.

stories this morning. Very good. You wouldn't get away

:32:49.:32:56.

with it now. Everybody is so to these things. I have checked the

:32:57.:33:00.

news this morning. I don't think there are any big April. I am not

:33:01.:33:08.

sure. Good morning! How are you? Remember seeing this? He has pulled

:33:09.:33:12.

out of the Masters, Tiger Woods. That is him winning his first green

:33:13.:33:17.

jacket. He has four of them. He has had so many injury problems, he is

:33:18.:33:21.

not going to feature. It is his back? It is his back. A 15 month

:33:22.:33:28.

break. He has got so much talent, when you look at what he has

:33:29.:33:32.

achieved in the game, he is ready to get back to full fitness. I think he

:33:33.:33:36.

is fighting a losing battle at the moment. It is sad.

:33:37.:33:37.

due to an ongoing problem with his back, and admits he has no

:33:38.:33:42.

The 14 time major winner won his first major at the Masters

:33:43.:33:47.

Incredible to think, isn't it? Of course, people will be watching this

:33:48.:33:54.

and wondering if he will ever return to full fitness and compete at the

:33:55.:33:56.

top again. Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal

:33:57.:33:57.

will meet again in the final of the Miami Masters

:33:58.:34:01.

tomorrow in what is a repeat of the Australian Open Final

:34:02.:34:04.

earlier this year. Federer beating Nick

:34:05.:34:06.

Kyrigos overnight. Later Briton's Johanna Konta faces

:34:07.:34:07.

Caroline Wozniacki in the Women's Australian Open quarter

:34:08.:34:10.

finalist earlier this year, and now looking for

:34:11.:34:15.

a third WTA title. Where will look to enjoy the

:34:16.:34:27.

occasion a little bit more. It is a great tournament to be a part of an

:34:28.:34:32.

tool the end. It is also something we will work hard for, to get

:34:33.:34:37.

opportunities like this. Artic to play against incredibly tough

:34:38.:34:40.

opponents and somebody who has been at the top of the game for so long.

:34:41.:34:44.

I think overall, just to have the good join and of the challenges. --

:34:45.:34:47.

enjoyment of the challengers. No title just yet for runaway

:34:48.:34:51.

leaders in the Scottich Prmeiership They will have to wait

:34:52.:34:54.

until Sunday - at least - before they can call themselves

:34:55.:34:57.

champions after second-placed Aberdeen beat Dundee

:34:58.:34:59.

7-0 at last night. Had they lost, Celtic

:35:00.:35:01.

would have been champions. It's not often you see

:35:02.:35:03.

a defender score a hat trick. We did last night Andrew Considine

:35:04.:35:06.

made it 4-0 just before half-time // Celtic are still 22

:35:07.:35:10.

points clear at the top. Considine getting the seventh

:35:11.:35:12.

and his hat trick goal late on. Liverpool will be without

:35:13.:35:22.

Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana for today's merseyside

:35:23.:35:24.

derby against Everton. The two sides meet in the lunchtime

:35:25.:35:26.

kick off in the Premier League. Let's hear from both managers,

:35:27.:35:29.

firstly Jurgen Klopp who's been impressed with the way today's

:35:30.:35:32.

opponents have been playing - Everton have lost just one

:35:33.:35:35.

of their last 12 League games Have a really good run. A good run.

:35:36.:35:50.

Didn't lose a lot of games in the last few weeks. Good results.

:35:51.:35:57.

Obviously confident. But, yeah, we feel that maybe should underestimate

:35:58.:36:02.

the power. Whenever we play them, we have to create a special atmosphere.

:36:03.:36:07.

It is a new season. It is a new game. A new manager, by Everton. I

:36:08.:36:17.

don't know why but I heard a little bit about the last two seasons of

:36:18.:36:24.

Everton, that maybe they were too afraid to play against Liverpool.

:36:25.:36:28.

But why you need to be afraid to play against Liverpool, I don't

:36:29.:36:32.

understand that. Well, later, the legal leaders Chelsea, who are ten

:36:33.:36:38.

points clear at the top, they can extend that lead again when they

:36:39.:36:39.

play Crystal Palace. And there's another Derby at teatime

:36:40.:36:42.

- the south coast Derby or El "Classi-coast"

:36:43.:36:53.

as some have dubbed it! Southampton taking on Bournemouth

:36:54.:36:55.

are neck and neck in the league We just heard from manager

:36:56.:36:58.

Ronald Koeman there who witnessed his defender Seamus Coleman suffer

:36:59.:37:02.

a really nasty injury whilst playing for his country the Republic

:37:03.:37:05.

of Ireland against Wales And now he's at the centre of a row

:37:06.:37:07.

after accusing the national coach Martin O'Neill of not

:37:08.:37:12.

protecting his player whilst he was away from his club side

:37:13.:37:14.

on international duty. But O'Neill's responded calling

:37:15.:37:17.

the Everton manager a "master You wonder if that one will rumble

:37:18.:37:19.

on. Derby County have kept their slim

:37:20.:37:25.

hopes of a playoff place alive with victory over Queens Park

:37:26.:37:28.

Rangers in the Championship. Manager Gary Rowett marked his first

:37:29.:37:30.

home game in charge Matia Vydra scored the only goal

:37:31.:37:33.

of the game in the second Derby are now six points off sixth

:37:34.:37:38.

placed Sheffield Wednesday. In Superleague, Castleford Tigers

:37:39.:37:42.

remain top on points difference after they thrashed

:37:43.:37:44.

Huddersfield 52-16. Leeds Rhinos have moved up to second

:37:45.:37:46.

with a 26-18 victory over Wigan. Leeds were only two points ahead

:37:47.:37:49.

at half time, but ran in two tries in the second half to pull clear -

:37:50.:37:53.

Carl Ablett with the final try. Britain's Charley Hull is 3 shots

:37:54.:37:57.

off the lead after the second round of play at the first women's

:37:58.:38:03.

golf major of the year in Hull finished off her first

:38:04.:38:07.

round with this birdie at the 18th before immediately

:38:08.:38:12.

starting her second round - that was because of delays

:38:13.:38:13.

to the tournament caused Norway's Suzann Pettersen

:38:14.:38:16.

leads on SEVEN under The semi-finals of snooker's

:38:17.:38:22.

China Open start this morning. She finished joint second last year,

:38:23.:38:34.

so fingers crossed she can produce the goods. Sad not to see Tiger

:38:35.:38:39.

Woods. Yes, I think it is. A sorry end to an incredible career. I think

:38:40.:38:43.

that is the reality, at what point is he going to let go and stay

:38:44.:38:48.

enough is enough? Yes, so many times there has been a setback. Is this

:38:49.:38:52.

really the end? He is really clinging on... That is part of what

:38:53.:38:58.

has made him so great, if that drive and determination, which she

:38:59.:39:01.

obviously has in abundance. But injury wise, his body is not up to

:39:02.:39:06.

it. He keeps lowering and all the fans saying that he is going to be

:39:07.:39:10.

back. Everybody wants to see him competing at the top. But it is not

:39:11.:39:13.

happening at the Masters this year. Thank you very much.

:39:14.:39:15.

Curling is one of Team GB's most successful Winter Olypmic sports.

:39:16.:39:19.

In the future, though, they could be getting help

:39:20.:39:23.

Mike's been to a farm in Kent where they've built England's first

:39:24.:39:28.

Away once they milked cows, they are farming a new breed. Kent is the

:39:29.:39:41.

Garden of England. They are milking something very rare. Outside

:39:42.:39:47.

Scotland, curling talent. It is all thanks to a farmer who moved here

:39:48.:39:51.

from Scotland and brought the game with him. Now starts blitzed their

:39:52.:39:54.

time between farming and tending to the ice. There was nothing in

:39:55.:40:01.

England. I came down from Scotland, where killing is something that

:40:02.:40:04.

happens on family days. It was a beautiful thing. When I had the

:40:05.:40:10.

cows, they made a mess, they did not make any money. I bring the curlers

:40:11.:40:14.

in, they make a mess, they still do not make any money! Bartee has

:40:15.:40:20.

stirred deep passion for the sport in southern England, hoping to

:40:21.:40:23.

nurture future curling scars who could one day help the Scots nurture

:40:24.:40:29.

the national team. So far, this is the only dedicated curling rank

:40:30.:40:32.

outside Scotland. But later this Year 1 will open in Preston, and you

:40:33.:40:40.

share. You just slice it up. At any level you can enjoy it. It is

:40:41.:40:46.

straight but it could be a bit short. Adam has a lot of sweeping to

:40:47.:40:53.

do. Closer than I thought! Next year's Winter Olympics will be the

:40:54.:40:56.

first to feature a mixed doubles condition. Will we be getting the

:40:57.:41:01.

nod from the young curlers? I like sliding. There is a specific

:41:02.:41:05.

technique to get it right and it takes so much time to perfect. I

:41:06.:41:09.

think it is down to tactics. Down to knowing what the opposition is

:41:10.:41:13.

thinking, what you can do to win the game. In some ways this game is like

:41:14.:41:18.

chess. I have a couple of tactical signals. The great thing about the

:41:19.:41:30.

sport is that you don't need ice skates. My job is to sweep. As soon

:41:31.:41:36.

as they say sleep, you start sleeping. Here we go, to try to get

:41:37.:41:41.

it the extra few centimetres. Get it into the circle. Come on! You don't

:41:42.:41:51.

really need to be the most typical athlete to get into curling. We have

:41:52.:41:56.

lots of different curlers. It is a great sport occurs there is

:41:57.:41:59.

individual sport involved but you have to play as a team. --

:42:00.:42:03.

individual skill. It is never over until the last own.

:42:04.:42:11.

Potential! For Mike, I'm not sure. Maybe for everybody else. 6:42 a.m..

:42:12.:42:14.

You might remember the Crystal Maze - the quiz show in the 1990s.

:42:15.:42:18.

But if you ever wished you could have a go,

:42:19.:42:20.

The format has been revived as part of an immersive theatrical

:42:21.:42:25.

production - which sees people take part, influence the show,

:42:26.:42:28.

and even become characters themselves.

:42:29.:42:29.

Breakfast's Tim Muffett has been to have a go.

:42:30.:42:35.

All rights team! The audience as participants. Not just watching a

:42:36.:42:45.

show but the image. The Crystal Maze experience opens today in

:42:46.:42:49.

Manchester. It is based on the early 90s TV programme. He's got it! Look

:42:50.:42:55.

at that! It was a really British TV show. It had a sense of reverence.

:42:56.:42:59.

It was funny. It was tongue in cheek it was silly. That is just the way

:43:00.:43:05.

the Wookie grumbles. Like the London show that has been selling out for a

:43:06.:43:09.

year, this new Manchester production will see audience members compete

:43:10.:43:12.

for crystals to buy time into crystal dome. We have written the

:43:13.:43:18.

disconnect now between people wanting to be at than passive.

:43:19.:43:23.

Wanting to play, and follow a journey, rather than just sitting in

:43:24.:43:28.

a dark auditorium. This in massive production might be inspired iodate

:43:29.:43:34.

seem in the game show, but but (INAUDIBLE). Montague is and Capulet

:43:35.:43:46.

's. A very different version of Romeo and Juliet. The latest

:43:47.:43:51.

production by emotion specialists. We will dream upon it! Audiences

:43:52.:43:58.

choose which subplot to follow. There is even dodgeball and a 90s

:43:59.:44:04.

rave. It is very immersive. Not quite what you're expecting. I think

:44:05.:44:09.

the fact that it involves everybody in it, that is the whole thing, that

:44:10.:44:13.

you are not sitting separately. The arts Council has seen a big rise in

:44:14.:44:17.

the number of funding applications from experimental theatre groups, up

:44:18.:44:21.

42% since 2013. Many immersive shows like this one, a son Alice in

:44:22.:44:27.

Wonderland, have proved popular. But some feel the novelty is Rankin.

:44:28.:44:31.

What has changed in immersive theatre is that has gone from being

:44:32.:44:35.

this artform that was new and exciting to being something that

:44:36.:44:38.

people are ending up going for the experience of. If you have not got

:44:39.:44:42.

something you want to say and achieve, by bringing the audience

:44:43.:44:47.

into the show, then you might as, it massively. You might as will not do

:44:48.:44:52.

it at all. Confusing at times, perhaps. Audience participation is a

:44:53.:44:55.

must. But the growth of immersive theatre suggest watching a show

:44:56.:44:58.

weaves, for some, no longer enough. What you think? BBC Breakfast

:44:59.:45:08.

teambuilding exercise? Can you see it? Nope! Made if other people. I

:45:09.:45:13.

don't know if we would be any good. Time forever cut the weather.

:45:14.:45:21.

Mixed at the moment. Calm across most areas of the UK, but there are

:45:22.:45:29.

showers building, quite big ones as well, maybe with hail and thunder.

:45:30.:45:33.

At this very moment we have heavy rain around parts of Wales, which

:45:34.:45:39.

should clear away, but for some of us in western parts of the UK it is

:45:40.:45:43.

downhill from now. Clouds will build. Sunshine around, so not

:45:44.:45:49.

overcast skies completely and Reagan, but these popcorn style

:45:50.:45:57.

showers. -- and rain. Very hit and miss, mixed weather and we could get

:45:58.:46:02.

rumbles of thunder. You can see the blobs of blue sky. A wall of water.

:46:03.:46:12.

It might feel like it for a moment if you catch the showers. The thing

:46:13.:46:15.

about them today is they will first form across the western half of the

:46:16.:46:19.

UK and then a little bit later in the afternoon the heavier ones will

:46:20.:46:22.

move towards more eastern areas. Either tighten its staff the showers

:46:23.:46:27.

will clear away and then we are in for a dry, clear night. -- by the

:46:28.:46:38.

time it is dark the showers. Take an umbrella if you are popping out for

:46:39.:46:42.

a longer period of time. You might have to dodge that the shower

:46:43.:46:45.

clouds. A different story for Sunday. Sunday, we are and

:46:46.:46:51.

forecasting any showers. High pressure builds across the UK. Lots

:46:52.:46:56.

of sunshine around, really a pleasant sort of day. The winds will

:46:57.:47:01.

be light, it will feel warmer. Temperatures up to 17 in London. For

:47:02.:47:08.

most of us about 12- 13 degrees. Fresh around the coasts. On the

:47:09.:47:14.

weekend, he prepared for the April showers today. It will be a little

:47:15.:47:18.

bit chillier. Don't be surprised if there is a bit of frost on the grass

:47:19.:47:24.

first thing. On Sunday, a fine and sunny day. Not looking bad at all.

:47:25.:47:29.

That's it. What is going on with the weather?

:47:30.:47:35.

That's a bonkers 24 hours! It's April! Whenever the calendar changes

:47:36.:47:41.

and we get into April, we get April showers.

:47:42.:47:43.

It happens every year. Do you believe it?

:47:44.:47:46.

That's quite interesting. All sorts happening.

:47:47.:47:49.

Now it's time for Click with Spencer Kelly,

:47:50.:47:52.

who's been getting a rare peek inside the studio,

:47:53.:47:54.

and mind, of the self-proclaimed "non-musician", Brian Eno.

:47:55.:48:21.

A wizard who likes decibels, who has won Grammies,

:48:22.:48:31.

The former member of the band, Roxy Music, has added his unique

:48:32.:48:44.

production sound to the biggest acts in the world -

:48:45.:48:47.

groups like U2 and Coldplay, and some chap called David.

:48:48.:48:50.

And it is his love of random, so-called generative art,

:48:51.:48:53.

His new work, Reflection, is also rather unpredictable.

:48:54.:49:06.

It is a generative music app which follows rules defined

:49:07.:49:10.

and refined by Eno, but which plays differently every time you listen.

:49:11.:49:15.

So 14% of these notes, a random 14%, are going to be pitched down

:49:16.:49:19.

The second is that 41% of them are going to go an octave down

:49:20.:49:28.

I would go further, quantum scientist.

:49:29.:49:35.

Eno has spent weeks, even months, tweaking these rules

:49:36.:49:44.

and probabilities which, when they're all when combined,

:49:45.:49:46.

cause these sounds to randomly echo, bounce, transpose or not

:49:47.:49:49.

So these are all different types of scripters.

:49:50.:49:52.

And then there's a whole lot of other stuff.

:49:53.:49:56.

Now, a lot of music is based just on things like that and it goes

:49:57.:50:23.

Now I will putting in some scripters.

:50:24.:50:25.

First thing I'm going to put in is a way of reducing

:50:26.:50:29.

So it's only playing 80% of the beats.

:50:30.:50:45.

Now, let's have it hit some other drums, occasionally.

:50:46.:50:47.

Already it is a pretty crappy drummer, I have to say.

:50:48.:50:50.

Well, no, I have to say, actually, this is way more interesting,

:50:51.:50:53.

with the greatest of respect, than the original drumbeat,

:50:54.:50:56.

Traditional music, you have a piece which you lock down,

:50:57.:51:09.

You're locking down a kind of piece of it.

:51:10.:51:18.

It's almost like you're taking this, or part of it, and you're locking

:51:19.:51:21.

that down, this is how I might want the piece to be but I don't mind

:51:22.:51:26.

I'm trying to kind of make a version of me in the software,

:51:27.:51:33.

I'm always interested in what is at the edge of my taste

:51:34.:51:38.

envelope, if you like, and randomness is a way

:51:39.:51:40.

Have you ever thought about whether you can copyright

:51:41.:51:44.

Yeah, that's an interesting question.

:51:45.:51:47.

If you sell the app to somebody, do they own the music that comes

:51:48.:51:50.

Because they've constructed it, in a way.

:51:51.:51:53.

All the bits are mine, but the final construction

:51:54.:51:56.

I don't think it's very easy to make a case for saying

:51:57.:52:04.

it's my music, because it sort of is in a modern sense

:52:05.:52:08.

We spent about an hour with Eno and in the next few days,

:52:09.:52:18.

you can see more inside Brian's brain online.

:52:19.:52:20.

This week, Samsung launched its latest mobile phones.

:52:21.:52:28.

Just a few minutes to go until the launch starts

:52:29.:52:32.

and there's an incredible level of secrecy here but I guess

:52:33.:52:35.

there is a lot at stake for Samsung after the Note 7 debacle,

:52:36.:52:38.

we're just waiting to see what the S8 has in store for us.

:52:39.:52:52.

Soon the hype turned to cold hard facts.

:52:53.:52:54.

Out of this Samsung Unboxed event, a phone...

:52:55.:52:57.

So here we have it - the S8 and the S8 plus.

:52:58.:53:01.

Not even the Plus seems to be that large.

:53:02.:53:08.

That's because the screens on both of them curve over the edges.

:53:09.:53:11.

There's been a lot of hype about this.

:53:12.:53:13.

Personally, I'm not really sure it feels like that big a deal,

:53:14.:53:18.

but it does mean that you get a screen which is bigger,

:53:19.:53:21.

So a few of the features that we've been told about today,

:53:22.:53:27.

there's the fingerprint scanner, as well as iris

:53:28.:53:33.

and facial recognition, meaning you should not need

:53:34.:53:35.

a password but should still be able to achieve all the security

:53:36.:53:39.

There's also what they call an invisible home button,

:53:40.:53:42.

But as you press it you can feel some sensation.

:53:43.:53:49.

One thing we have heard a lot of talk about is the launch of Bixby.

:53:50.:53:56.

When fully functioning, the virtual assistant aims to make

:53:57.:53:58.

Interacting with ten Samsung apps, controlling other Samsung devices -

:53:59.:54:03.

yes, there is a theme here - and using artificial intelligence

:54:04.:54:06.

to learn your habits and suggest what you might be looking for next.

:54:07.:54:13.

So, naturally, I want to test this new personal assistant,

:54:14.:54:17.

but there's one substantial problem - Bixby is currently only

:54:18.:54:20.

It's not until May that it'll be released in American English,

:54:21.:54:28.

and then after that some other languages are going to follow.

:54:29.:54:32.

So it may well be great, but I can't tell you about it.

:54:33.:54:35.

In the meantime, the image recognition function is in action.

:54:36.:54:38.

You photograph an item and it aims to find it for you online,

:54:39.:54:41.

The phone will be released this month from $650.

:54:42.:55:01.

The company believe they will see explosive sales, but let's hope

:55:02.:55:04.

Now, to cyborgs and when Hollywood imagines them they look way too

:55:05.:55:16.

futuristic to be anywhere close to becoming a reality.

:55:17.:55:20.

They did not save your life, they stole it.

:55:21.:55:23.

Dan Simmons has a very special appointment with Professor Someya

:55:24.:55:31.

I have come to see a professor who is apparently going to turn me

:55:32.:55:55.

It's one of the first times a camera crew have been allowed in to see

:55:56.:56:05.

the process happen, and it's all going to take place

:56:06.:56:08.

This research team have come up with the world's thinnest organic

:56:09.:56:17.

Lighter than a feather, they could be worn like

:56:18.:56:22.

Either monitoring the body or as an e-skin display.

:56:23.:56:26.

We can introduce the electronic functions directly on the surface

:56:27.:56:30.

of the skin, without causing any discomfort.

:56:31.:56:37.

This is human and machine coming together?

:56:38.:56:43.

The display they are putting on to me has taken three days

:56:44.:56:46.

to manufacture, so the research team are being very careful.

:56:47.:56:54.

Its thickness is just two to three microns.

:56:55.:56:56.

The magic is controlled by polymer semiconductors and transparent

:56:57.:56:59.

electrodes, with organic semiconductors and diodes firing

:57:00.:57:01.

They can scrunch them and, on rubber, even stretch of them.

:57:02.:57:17.

The circuits still work, and that's something I've come

:57:18.:57:19.

Professor Someya has used this e-skin to measure heart rate

:57:20.:57:24.

Is it robust enough to go running with, for example?

:57:25.:57:30.

Yeah, so, first, please move your hands.

:57:31.:57:32.

It doesn't cause any mechanical failure.

:57:33.:57:36.

Would you expect us to change this every two or three days?

:57:37.:57:46.

So if we can manufacture everything very cheap,

:57:47.:57:51.

so after you go to the shower and then delaminate your skin,

:57:52.:57:54.

This is just a single digit display today,

:57:55.:58:15.

So, the second step will be much multiple digits and then

:58:16.:58:20.

going to the high-definition display.

:58:21.:58:27.

Yes, 1,000 pixels, that's technologically possible.

:58:28.:58:35.

So on our hand, so we could, what, talk to people?

:58:36.:58:39.

This could be a picture of my mum, for example?

:58:40.:58:48.

I could say, "Hi, Mum, and my Mum would appear

:58:49.:58:51.

Yes, that would be possible in the future, maybe four

:58:52.:58:54.

But lifestyle will be the biggest issues.

:58:55.:59:05.

This is the start of the rise of the cyborgs.

:59:06.:59:15.

That's it for the short version of Click this week.

:59:16.:59:23.

The full version is on iPlayer for you to enjoy.

:59:24.:59:31.

There is much more from Brian Eno coming soon as well,

even worse? Yes, a fly in the ointment. The British government

:03:31.:03:36.

probably could have done without it at this stage. Yesterday we got the

:03:37.:03:41.

first response from the European Union to the Article 50 notification

:03:42.:03:45.

letter that was handed in on Wednesday. Yesterday the EU Council

would be complex and potentially confrontational at times. I don't

:04:00.:04:05.

think anyone probably thought they would get quite so confrontational

for a pay rise today, as the national living wage goes

:04:33.:04:35.

up to ?7.50 an hour. The change has been broadly

:04:36.:04:38.

welcomed by unions. But employers have expressed

:05:18.:05:23.

From today, all workers over 25 must be paid at least ?7 50 an hour. If

you work a full week, you will now receive a least ?281. But employers

knock-on consequences for National Insurance payments as well. Much of

:05:51.:05:53.

that cost will be absorbed by the business itself rather than passing

it on in the form of prices. That is not the only change. Controversial

the number of IVF cycles on the NHS for

only one cycle is offered. In Wales women under 40

they may have to put up rents as a result of tax changes that come

:10:16.:10:22.

to the tax system will create a level playing field

between regular homeowners and buy With us now is Chris Town,

:10:26.:10:27.

the vice chairman of the Residential

:10:28.:10:34.

Landlords Association What do you think the impact of this

:10:35.:10:44.

will be? Clearly the impact will be upward pressure on rents because

:10:45.:10:51.

landlords are increasing the tax burden significantly, so, the direct

:10:52.:10:54.

result you say that many people will need to be more in rent? There are a

:10:55.:11:00.

number of results. Rent is one thing. This investment by landlords

:11:01.:11:04.

whose business model now will not work because instead of the interest

:11:05.:11:07.

being allowable against tax it is now going to be taxed. It will

:11:08.:11:14.

increase cost significantly for some people, particularly those with loan

:11:15.:11:18.

to value rate. They will be affected first and they will need to

:11:19.:11:25.

disinvest for this takes effect. The current tax system gives a buy to

:11:26.:11:30.

let landlords an advantage over regular landlords. You can see that

:11:31.:11:35.

that is not quite there? That is the view of the Treasury. In fact,

:11:36.:11:39.

landlords pay more tax than homeowners, clearly. Of the

:11:40.:11:42.

homeowner sells a property, and does not pay any tax on the profit that

:11:43.:11:49.

is made on the sale. So if it was purchased for 25,000, sold for 30,

:11:50.:11:54.

there is no tax paid. If it is a landlord, they must pay tax on that

:11:55.:11:58.

capital increase. But could you argue that a landlord is more likely

:11:59.:12:02.

to have one property and home owners are less likely to sell a property

:12:03.:12:07.

regularly? Of course. It is a business and it should be treated

:12:08.:12:10.

like all other businesses. All other businesses that can deduct interest

:12:11.:12:16.

cost of finance from their profit. This new tax will change that. It is

:12:17.:12:21.

the only business that is affected by these changes. You probably come

:12:22.:12:27.

across as this already with people who do not have a lot of sympathy

:12:28.:12:31.

with the landlords were many properties. We are not talking about

:12:32.:12:35.

people with one rented property or maybe two, we are talking about

:12:36.:12:39.

those who are far more than that. The whole, I don't think people will

:12:40.:12:43.

have sympathy for the idea. The maybe profit margins are slightly

:12:44.:12:47.

less. It is probably more the other way around, to be honest. People

:12:48.:12:52.

with a lot of property generally have been in the business for many

:12:53.:12:56.

years and have a lower loan to value rate that they will be less

:12:57.:13:01.

affected. They have more properties to cover the increase in tax. People

:13:02.:13:10.

with one property, so, for instance, someone is working and they earn

:13:11.:13:16.

about 35,000 a year. There little portfolio costs about ?10,000 year

:13:17.:13:22.

in interest. That was deductible against tax until Thursday. After

:13:23.:13:27.

Thursday that deduction goes into their profit pot so that lifts them

:13:28.:13:33.

from a basic rate to a higher rate of tax at 40%. That is when this

:13:34.:13:40.

change kicks in. It does not affect basic rate taxpayers but many

:13:41.:13:43.

people, unknown to them, probably, will be subject to this increase in

:13:44.:13:49.

tax. What will make it fairer, for you? One of our proposals has been

:13:50.:13:59.

that if this were to be implemented just for new borrowing so that

:14:00.:14:03.

landlords purchasing new properties adding to supply, new mortgages on

:14:04.:14:08.

those properties, this could be applied to those. But, of course,

:14:09.:14:13.

went people purchased properties years ago, that was a different

:14:14.:14:19.

model. The tax changes, it is a radical change to the business

:14:20.:14:22.

model. We will leave it there from now. Thank you very much.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:14:27.:14:29.

The main stories this morning: Britain has said it will protect

:14:30.:14:32.

Gibraltar from any sovereignty claims made by Spain

:14:33.:14:34.

A pay rise for two million people, as the national living wage rises

:14:35.:14:40.

Let's have a look at some gorge -- Gorge and pictures of The Flying

:14:41.:14:58.

Scotsman yesterday. It travelled across the Ribblehead

:14:59.:15:04.

Viaduct on the reopened Settle It looks like the train on the way

:15:05.:15:07.

to Hogwarts. How is it looking?

:15:08.:15:21.

Looking a little bit mixed. It is the same bridge as the one from

:15:22.:15:24.

Harry Potter. It might be! I think so. Weatherwise

:15:25.:15:30.

today, a mixed bag on the way. We have damp weather around this

:15:31.:15:35.

morning. It is wet across some parts of Wales, the Northwest of England

:15:36.:15:38.

and around Yorkshire with had rain. Today it's a case of dodging the

:15:39.:15:44.

showers and there will be quite a few of them brewing. If you've got

:15:45.:15:48.

clear, blue skies right now, what you'll find in the coming hours is

:15:49.:15:52.

the clouds will start to bubble up. Then they will in turn become this

:15:53.:16:00.

shower clouds. If you look at the forecast, this is lunchtime.

:16:01.:16:06.

Basically they form inland and grow upwards, the clouds, then you get

:16:07.:16:11.

these showers. They are in about five miles across. In another town

:16:12.:16:16.

it might be sunny. And they move around, so it will be very hit and

:16:17.:16:20.

miss. Hail and thunder a possibility. First the showers will

:16:21.:16:26.

form in the west, then in the east. So we will get them at different

:16:27.:16:31.

times. This evening and overnight, because the sun drives the showers,

:16:32.:16:36.

the showers die off and we have a clear night. Pretty chilly in

:16:37.:16:40.

Yorkshire, northwards. The chance of a bit of grass frost, but that's it.

:16:41.:16:46.

Sunday, a very different day. We aren't expecting these showers and

:16:47.:16:50.

it will change completely on Sunday. High pressure builds and stopped the

:16:51.:16:55.

showers from forming. So we are forecasting a mostly sunny day for

:16:56.:16:58.

nippy in the morning, sunny, very light winds. We are in this nice

:16:59.:17:03.

spell of weather. Temperatures of about 17 in London. For most of us,

:17:04.:17:10.

about 13- 14. Two very different days this weekend. Today we have

:17:11.:17:17.

April showers. Chilly tonight, once the showers clear away, and Sunday

:17:18.:17:21.

is looking absolutely fine. That's it.

:17:22.:17:26.

Thank you very much. Absolutely fine, that's good to know!

:17:27.:17:31.

Shall we have a look at some of the front pages of the newspapers? The

:17:32.:17:37.

Times have a story about Google and corporation tax. Inland Revenue will

:17:38.:17:46.

be hit with a big bill, from Google. So they've agreed to repay that

:17:47.:17:52.

money despite the government saying they will call more cash from

:17:53.:17:57.

Internat giant. -- internet. And there is a story of Prince Charles

:17:58.:18:06.

on The Daily Mail. This is suggesting Prince Charles tried to

:18:07.:18:15.

halt the American invasion of Afghanistan. They say they made this

:18:16.:18:20.

plea to the US ambassador to London for weeks into the military

:18:21.:18:22.

operation. The Daily Telegraph has a story

:18:23.:18:26.

about MPs a posture the expense is. They say there has been a data

:18:27.:18:35.

breach. -- MPs' expenses. They say confidential information has been

:18:36.:18:38.

leaked on Thursday night. On the front page of the Daily

:18:39.:18:42.

Mirror, a very personal account. These are the words of Linda Nolan,

:18:43.:18:49.

who is suffering from cancer at the moment. And to pick up on some of

:18:50.:18:55.

the inside pages, Mirror and many of the papers are looking at this story

:18:56.:19:00.

about Gibraltar and the reference to it as part of the EU Brexit

:19:01.:19:07.

negotiations, which has angered many people, especially those who live on

:19:08.:19:12.

Gibraltar. We will be talking a little bit about that later in the

:19:13.:19:15.

programme. It's funny how history continues to

:19:16.:19:18.

rumble on. It wasn't long ago that the plight

:19:19.:19:29.

of migrants trying to enter Eastern Europe was regularly in the

:19:30.:19:31.

programme. An agreement between Turkey and the

:19:32.:19:38.

EU has reduced that flow, but there are still many seeking asylum.

:19:39.:19:42.

This container camp is still empty. There's space for 250 asylum

:19:43.:19:50.

seekers. So far it is home to just two families. The government says it

:19:51.:19:54.

is locking them up to close a loophole, to stop those who seek

:19:55.:19:58.

asylum in Hungary slipping away deep into Europe. But detaining asylum

:19:59.:20:05.

seekers automatically is illegal. They should never become a legal,

:20:06.:20:11.

but they are treated as illegal from the first moment. So whereas the

:20:12.:20:17.

European Union Law requires them to accept that they have a right to

:20:18.:20:21.

stay until the first decision, they are treated first as if they are

:20:22.:20:26.

legal, second as if they have not entered Hungary. According to the

:20:27.:20:30.

reception centre, call it account, by building a tug Erin authorities

:20:31.:20:34.

have issued a direct challenge to the international community. No one

:20:35.:20:39.

can tell us, they say, how to deal with asylum seekers. This is the

:20:40.:20:44.

food warehouse, one of two. Just across the Serbian border,

:20:45.:20:49.

volunteers provide food to refugees. There used to rest here on their way

:20:50.:20:53.

to Hungary. Now they are looking for alternative path. This is a time of

:20:54.:21:02.

experimentation. They are trying to see if there are any better routes,

:21:03.:21:08.

many have gone back to Belgrade to get a rest. In this ruined factory

:21:09.:21:12.

on the edge of the town, this Pakistani refugee contemplates his

:21:13.:21:17.

next move. Maybe I will try for the Croatian side or the Romanian side,

:21:18.:21:21.

because this border is now totally closed, so they built another fence.

:21:22.:21:27.

That's where the problem lies. Hungary at great cost had sealed its

:21:28.:21:32.

southern border, so this man and his friends plan to travel through

:21:33.:21:34.

Remainiac instead. -- Rumania. Autism affects one

:21:35.:21:41.

in every 100 people. It is a condition that is

:21:42.:21:43.

often misunderstood. But a new course designed

:21:44.:21:46.

for teachers and carers is hoping to equip people with the knowledge

:21:47.:21:49.

and skills to better support We'll hear more about the programme

:21:50.:21:52.

in a minute, first let's hear from the author Laura James,

:21:53.:21:58.

who spoke to Breakfast -- lets here actually straight from

:21:59.:22:14.

Mark, who is a researcher at the University of Bath. This is a tricky

:22:15.:22:20.

programme because still is now it is misunderstood a lot of the time.

:22:21.:22:25.

Absolutely. Tomorrow is Autism Awareness Day, so thank you for

:22:26.:22:30.

having me on to raise awareness. It is stepping beyond awareness and to

:22:31.:22:35.

appreciation. What is autism? Our online course is free for everyone

:22:36.:22:38.

and it is really to develop the understanding of what autism is. It

:22:39.:22:44.

is set out in an accessible way so people can understand exactly what

:22:45.:22:48.

they want to understand. Give us a snapshot. What are the resources

:22:49.:22:53.

available? There are many resources. We have videos. People can just

:22:54.:22:58.

watch us talking about what autism is at the cutting edge research

:22:59.:23:03.

we've taken to understand autism. There are also limits on learning

:23:04.:23:07.

difficulties. That's a very neglected area. Importantly the

:23:08.:23:12.

course focuses on what technologies are available to help people with

:23:13.:23:16.

autism and how can teachers and parents best support children with

:23:17.:23:20.

autism. What is there to help? There are many technologies, thousands of

:23:21.:23:25.

apps available. The question isn't whether there is technology, but how

:23:26.:23:29.

do you find the best technology to help your child with autism? There's

:23:30.:23:34.

a programme we are developing, that is available through the online

:23:35.:23:38.

course, and it helps to identify what your child can and can't do.

:23:39.:23:42.

That will inform what apps are most appropriate. We often talk to people

:23:43.:23:48.

and parents who have autism and one of the practical problems they face

:23:49.:23:56.

is about resources in the community. That's almost a separate problem.

:23:57.:24:04.

Yours is a resource-based issue. Presumably the idea is that can lead

:24:05.:24:08.

them to the right places to get help. If that part of the idea?

:24:09.:24:12.

There are resources available for people with autism and the internet

:24:13.:24:16.

is in itself a huge resource. There is a wealth of digital resources out

:24:17.:24:20.

there to help people, but it's knowing about them, knowing how to

:24:21.:24:24.

use them and knowing which ones are best. Technology itself can be

:24:25.:24:27.

hugely beneficial in helping people with autism. If you are caring for

:24:28.:24:35.

someone, child or adult, with autism, and as we know things at

:24:36.:24:40.

times can get incredibly stressful and difficult and your patience can

:24:41.:24:44.

be tested. What is there in that moment when your child is perhaps

:24:45.:24:48.

having a meltdown, what is it in that moment that can help? When you

:24:49.:24:55.

are in the moment it is very hard to draw upon the appropriate resources.

:24:56.:24:59.

A lot of what we try to do is plan to avoid those moments and prepared

:25:00.:25:04.

for those moments. It can be very difficult to change the behaviour of

:25:05.:25:08.

children with autism, so why to focus on changing their behaviour

:25:09.:25:11.

is? Why not prepare yourself? What can you do? It is about being in the

:25:12.:25:17.

right state of mind and knowing in advance what might occur and what

:25:18.:25:21.

the potential solutions are. There are lots of stress reducing

:25:22.:25:25.

strategies. Knowing what they are and being educated and informed

:25:26.:25:29.

about that in itself can help reduce stress and can increase your

:25:30.:25:33.

confidence. You then know how you can address the situation. How do

:25:34.:25:37.

people go about accessing this website? You can come to the

:25:38.:25:47.

website. It is called Future Learn and is all about matching technology

:25:48.:25:53.

with autism. Come and join us in the learning journey. Thank you.

Music often provides an escape from the real world.

:25:57.:25:59.

But in Hull, one sound installation aims to give listeners a better

:26:00.:26:02.

The work celebrates the Humber Bridge by incorporating

:26:03.:26:05.

Visitors can listen to the music as they walk across the bridge.

:26:06.:26:15.

Lucy Hester reports from the UK's city of culture.

:26:16.:26:20.

Here in Leeds, something magical is taking place.

:26:21.:26:24.

Musicians from Opera North are putting the finishing touches

:26:25.:26:27.

to a recording which will invoke the essence of one of Yorkshire's

:26:28.:26:30.

most iconic sites, the Humber Bridge.

:26:31.:26:34.

Many of us will have driven across the bridge,

:26:35.:26:37.

taking in the sights of the Humber River.

:26:38.:26:40.

But this unique project is hoping to inspire people to walk

:26:41.:26:43.

along its mile-long length and get lost in incredible sounds.

:26:44.:26:48.

Opera North is working with Norwegian composers to create

:26:49.:26:50.

It's a fantastic construction and it's so much bigger

:26:51.:27:00.

It's been interesting to walk across the bridge and to actually

:27:01.:27:07.

Meanwhile, the Opera North orchestra is recording its part.

:27:08.:27:18.

It's a beautiful sound recorded by top-class musicians.

:27:19.:27:21.

How can we blend different instruments into that and then build

:27:22.:27:24.

The music just felt like it was natural blood running

:27:25.:27:30.

Some of these musicians are using their instruments

:27:31.:27:37.

The Opera North chorus also has a part to play

:27:38.:27:50.

Part of the problem is that we only know our bits and there are at least

:27:51.:27:58.

seven other layers, as far as we can tell.

:27:59.:28:00.

So I have no idea what the other end product is going to be.

:28:01.:28:04.

The finished piece will be heard through headsets as people walk

:28:05.:28:07.

What's particularly amazing about it is that it makes you look

:28:08.:28:13.

at everything completely differently,

:28:14.:28:14.

You look at everything much more carefully.

Jo Konta has already swept into the history books

Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent.

:28:36.:29:29.

Tomasz will have a weather update in around fifteen minutes' time.

:29:30.:29:32.

But first, let's get a summary of this morning's main news.

:29:33.:29:38.

Tensions are rising over Gibraltar's position during Brexit,

:29:39.:29:41.

after the EU gave Spain a potential veto on any future deal

:29:42.:29:44.

The enclave's administration accused Spain of trying to manipulate

:29:45.:29:48.

the discussions, in order to further its 300-year-old sovereignty claims.

:29:49.:29:51.

Last night, the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, said the government

:29:52.:29:54.

would be "implacable and rock-like" in its support

:29:55.:29:56.

Two million people are set for a pay rise today,

:29:57.:30:08.

as the national living wage goes up to ?7.50 an hour.

:30:09.:30:10.

The change has been broadly welcomed by unions.

:30:11.:30:13.

But there've been calls from campaigners for the rate to be

:30:14.:30:16.

higher to meet the true cost of living, while employers have

:30:17.:30:19.

expressed concern about the strain of additional costs.

:30:20.:30:25.

Around 4,000 households in England earning more than ?100,000

:30:26.:30:28.

a year have received taxpayers' money to help them buy a home.

:30:29.:30:31.

Official figures also reveal that the Help to Buy Equity Loan

:30:32.:30:34.

scheme has assisted more than 20,000 households who were not

:30:35.:30:37.

Labour said it showed the initiative was "badly targeted"

:30:38.:30:40.

but the government insisted it continued to make home ownership

:30:41.:30:43.

Patients referred to the NHS for fertility treatment in Scotland

:30:44.:30:53.

will be eligible for three full cycles of IVF treatment.

:30:54.:30:56.

From today, the Scottish government is increasing the number of cycles

:30:57.:30:59.

funded by the health service for women under 40

:31:00.:31:02.

The change is expected to cost about ?1 million a year.

:31:03.:31:06.

Protesters in Paraguay have stormed the Congress and set fire

:31:07.:31:08.

to the building as anger grows over moves to allow President Cartes

:31:09.:31:12.

The demonstrations were triggered by a Senate vote behind closed doors

:31:13.:31:16.

to change the constitution, ending the one term limit.

:31:17.:31:19.

Campaigners say Paraguay's democracy is under threat.

:31:20.:31:21.

The artist Gilbert Baker, who created the rainbow flag that

:31:22.:31:24.

became an international symbol for gay rights,

:31:25.:31:26.

Baker was asked to come up with a flag design for the LGBT

:31:27.:31:35.

community in 1978 by Harvey Milk, who was California's first openly

:31:36.:31:38.

Bob Dylan will finally accept his Nobel Prize

:31:39.:31:42.

The American singer won the award in October but failed to travel

:31:43.:31:48.

to pick it up, or deliver the lecture that is required

:31:49.:31:51.

to receive the prize fund of around ?700,000.

:31:52.:31:54.

If he doesn't fulfil the conditions by June,

:31:55.:31:56.

he will have to forfeit his winnings.

:31:57.:32:02.

It's April Fool's Day and it's 60 years since television viewers first

:32:03.:32:06.

The past winter, one of the mildest in living memory has had effects in

:32:07.:32:30.

other ways as well. Most important of all, it has resulted in an

:32:31.:32:35.

exceptionally heavy spaghetti crop. This is Panorama's famous

:32:36.:32:36.

Spaghetti tree report. The three minute broadcast

:32:37.:32:38.

was watched by eight million people. Unfortunately some viewers failed

:32:39.:32:41.

to see the funny side, but others were so intrigued

:32:42.:32:44.

they contacted the BBC to ask where they could purchase

:32:45.:32:47.

their very own tree. If it works, it always upset

:32:48.:32:57.

somebody, doesn't it? But as far as I know, we are not running one this

:32:58.:33:05.

year. Or are we...? Good morning. We are talking about Johanna Konta car.

:33:06.:33:10.

Would she will face Caroline Wozniacki in the final of the Miami

:33:11.:33:15.

open and it will be a good one. She defeated Venus Williams in the

:33:16.:33:19.

previous round. Two great finals as war because overnight Nick Kyrgios

:33:20.:33:23.

was defeated by Roger Federer. That means Federer against Rafael Nadal

:33:24.:33:29.

another epic. If you cast back a year or so ago and you said that the

:33:30.:33:35.

two biggest matches of this year would be between Rafael Nadal and

:33:36.:33:39.

Roger Federer, you would say no, cannot happen. Especially since you

:33:40.:33:46.

thought Andy Murray versus Djokovic would be the emerging rivalry. So,

:33:47.:33:52.

yeah, two great finals on the way today.

:33:53.:33:53.

Konta the first British woman to reach the final,

:33:54.:33:55.

after beating Venus Williams in Thursday's semis.

:33:56.:33:57.

And she's expecting a tough match against the former world number one.

:33:58.:34:05.

Most important will be to enjoy the occasion a little more. It is a

:34:06.:34:13.

great tournament to be a part of until the very end and is something

:34:14.:34:18.

we work hard for, for opportunities like this. I play some incredibly

:34:19.:34:24.

tough opponent and someone who has been around for quite a long time

:34:25.:34:27.

now. I think it will be good enjoyment for the challenge.

:34:28.:34:33.

It's perhaps the news we've been expecting after his ongoing

:34:34.:34:35.

But Tiger Woods has pulled out of Golf's first major of the year,

:34:36.:34:40.

He said he's just not "tournament ready" due

:34:41.:34:44.

to his troublesome back, and that there's no timetable

:34:45.:34:46.

He was sidelined for 15 months after surgery to try and fix it.

:34:47.:34:51.

The 14 time major winner won his first major at the Masters

:34:52.:34:54.

Britain's Charley Hull is three shots off the lead after the second

:34:55.:34:59.

round of the first women's golf major of the year in California.

:35:00.:35:02.

She finished off her first round with this birdie at the 18th

:35:03.:35:05.

before immediately starting her second round -

:35:06.:35:07.

that was because of delays to the tournament caused

:35:08.:35:09.

Norway's Suzann Pettersen leads on 7 under.

:35:10.:35:17.

No title just yet for the runaway leaders Celtic in the Scottish

:35:18.:35:23.

premiership. They will need to wait until Sunday before they can call

:35:24.:35:27.

themselves champions proper after Aberdeen defeated Dundee. Had they

:35:28.:35:32.

lost, they would have been crowned champions. It is not often you see a

:35:33.:35:37.

defender score a hat-trick. We did last night. 4-0 just before

:35:38.:35:40.

half-time. Celtic at 22 points clear at the top. A win against hearts

:35:41.:35:47.

will clinch the title. That was his team's seventh goal. -- Harts. Two

:35:48.:35:56.

key players are missing for Liverpool. They will be without

:35:57.:36:00.

Jordan Henderson and Adam. What a match this weekend. Let's hear from

:36:01.:36:04.

both managers. Jurgen Klopp has been impressed with the way today's

:36:05.:36:08.

opponents have been playing. They have a very good run, a good run and

:36:09.:36:15.

did not lose a lot of games in the last few weeks or months. They good

:36:16.:36:20.

result, obviously confident but, yeah, nobody should underestimate

:36:21.:36:26.

the power. Whenever we play at Enfield we need to create a special

:36:27.:36:32.

atmosphere. It is the mid-season, a new game, new season, new manager.

:36:33.:36:44.

And I don't know why... I heard a little about the last two seasons at

:36:45.:36:50.

Everton that maybe they were afraid to play against Liverpool but why

:36:51.:36:54.

you need to be afraid to play against Liverpool, I do not

:36:55.:36:58.

understand that. Can anyone stop at Chelsea? The league leaders can

:36:59.:37:04.

extend their ten point lead at the top when they play Crystal Palace.

:37:05.:37:08.

There is another derby at teatime, the South Coast derby. Southampton

:37:09.:37:16.

meeting Bournemouth, neck and neck in the league. We just heard from

:37:17.:37:21.

the Everton manager there who witnessed his defender suffer a

:37:22.:37:30.

nasty double leg break against Wales while on international duty. Now he

:37:31.:37:34.

is at the centre of a row after accusing the national coach of not

:37:35.:37:38.

protecting his player while he was away from his club side, plane trees

:37:39.:37:41.

country. O'Neill responded calling the Everton manager eight master

:37:42.:37:45.

tactician of the blame game. -- playing for his country. Derby

:37:46.:37:52.

County of left their hopes alive. Gary marked his first home game with

:37:53.:38:01.

a win. Derby are now six points away from Sheffield. In the Super League,

:38:02.:38:08.

tigers remain top on points difference after they thrashed

:38:09.:38:11.

Huddersfield. The rhinos have moved to second with 26- 18 victory. They

:38:12.:38:22.

ran in two tries in the second half. There are fourth win in a row. So

:38:23.:38:28.

all eyes then are on your and conquer and her match later. It gets

:38:29.:38:32.

under way at six o'clock, fingers crossed. She is the first British

:38:33.:38:37.

woman to play in the final of the Miami open tennis tournament but can

:38:38.:38:45.

she really do well this time and win the actual title? Let's speak it now

:38:46.:38:48.

to the Fed cup captain, the former British number one. Good morning.

:38:49.:38:56.

Looking ahead a little bit too the game today. Join a contrary is

:38:57.:38:59.

playing quite confidently, what do you think about her chances? I think

:39:00.:39:06.

she has a wonderful chance against Caroline Wozniacki today. They

:39:07.:39:09.

played at the Australian Open earlier this year and your huh

:39:10.:39:12.

no-one convincingly. She is full of confidence. This is the biggest

:39:13.:39:17.

final of her career and there is a lot to play for. Can you tell us

:39:18.:39:25.

about her opponent? What is her form like? Caroline Wozniacki has been

:39:26.:39:28.

playing equally as well over the past few weeks. She has won a lot of

:39:29.:39:32.

matches and made back-to-back finals last month during the Middle East

:39:33.:39:36.

swing and she is feeling confident. She had a great win in the

:39:37.:39:40.

semifinals but I do think that Johanna's level and type of tennis

:39:41.:39:44.

right now is different to that of Caroline and she has the game and

:39:45.:39:47.

the weapons to hurt her opponent today. Tell us a little bit about

:39:48.:39:51.

Johanna more generally. In tennis you get some players who begin

:39:52.:39:57.

young, they have a moment in time when they are 17 or 18... The career

:39:58.:40:03.

of Johanna is different. She is hitting her prime now, isn't she

:40:04.:40:06.

question but she is, what? 25 question mark that is correct. She

:40:07.:40:15.

has hit her prime. You need to look at somebody like Angelique Kerber,

:40:16.:40:18.

the current world number one who won her first two Grand slams last year.

:40:19.:40:22.

She achieved the world number one ranking for the first time last year

:40:23.:40:26.

and she did that in her late 20s. We see the trend in women's tennis now,

:40:27.:40:30.

more and more players are starting to hit their peak in their mid to

:40:31.:40:34.

late 20s and they are still playing high-level tennis well into their

:40:35.:40:38.

30s which is something we never really used to see ten or 20 years

:40:39.:40:43.

ago. I just think the game has moved on so much. It is far more physical

:40:44.:40:47.

but mentally players look after themselves a lot better and there is

:40:48.:40:52.

more longevity now and the women's game. It is interesting that you say

:40:53.:40:55.

but mentally players look after themselves a lot better. I have seen

:40:56.:40:59.

Johanna say herself but mentally was where she struggled in the past and

:41:00.:41:05.

she did not have the right frame of mind for big matches. What changed

:41:06.:41:09.

for her? How has she worked on it? She certainly trust herself. She

:41:10.:41:16.

worked with a sports psychologist a lot and, you know, she knows how to

:41:17.:41:21.

control her emotions far better. There is a lot of stuff, Johanna

:41:22.:41:26.

will admit herself that she can be high maintenance and a little

:41:27.:41:29.

tricky. But, you know, she knows how to manage everything, she trusts and

:41:30.:41:33.

believes in a game, she is working on the right things stay in and day

:41:34.:41:37.

out and as a tennis player, you know, the game is so mental these

:41:38.:41:41.

days. You need to be able to trust yourself and, really, execute in the

:41:42.:41:45.

heat of the moment. And also understand that you are not always

:41:46.:41:48.

going to have a great week. There will be difficult times but you need

:41:49.:41:55.

to come back, back yourself and try and reduce the best you can on any

:41:56.:41:59.

given day. By a skewer question that I am sure you will dread in a way,

:42:00.:42:03.

on the behalf of Johanna, if we pull Wimbledon into the conversation and,

:42:04.:42:06.

for many people, tennis is about Wimbledon and they love the idea of

:42:07.:42:10.

a British player going into that tournament, playing confidently as

:42:11.:42:12.

Johanna is now. Could you say anything in relation to that? Well,

:42:13.:42:19.

Wimbledon... Wimbledon is where many players like to make their mark.

:42:20.:42:26.

Wimbledon is... That it captures the imagination of so many people in

:42:27.:42:29.

this country can help play a's profile. And, you know, and this

:42:30.:42:34.

year Johanna will be going into Wimbledon hopefully is a top-10

:42:35.:42:37.

player which will be a first for her, possibly even a top five

:42:38.:42:41.

player. Who knows what can happen over the next few months leading up.

:42:42.:42:45.

She will be full of confidence. She has a great game that can do damage

:42:46.:42:51.

on the grass. We saw that last year. And, you know, like us, she is

:42:52.:42:56.

capable of producing great tennis. Hopefully that will happen at

:42:57.:42:58.

Wimbledon but hopefully will happen today and happen at the Fed cup for

:42:59.:43:03.

next month. I was just going to mention that, you are Fed cup

:43:04.:43:06.

captain. What is true MacWrite to work with? She is brilliant, as are

:43:07.:43:11.

the rest of the players on the team. We have a difficult time coming up

:43:12.:43:16.

against Romania, away on clay which is the least comfortable surface for

:43:17.:43:21.

our players. And the Romanians will have an incredibly Petra Kvitova

:43:22.:43:26.

crowd behind but working with Johanna, being part of the Fed cup

:43:27.:43:31.

team, she is a great team player and we have a great team spirit, we are

:43:32.:43:35.

looking forward to this tie against Romania where hopefully we can get a

:43:36.:43:39.

place in the world group. We have a great team, but we are the massive

:43:40.:43:43.

underdogs against the Romanians who have top players on their side. It

:43:44.:43:49.

is lovely to talk to you. I am sure we will be watching and listening

:43:50.:43:56.

tonight. I loved the little line in their how Johanna can be high

:43:57.:44:01.

maintenance and tricky at timess. Aren't all the best people? A

:44:02.:44:04.

reminder, you can follow the commentary on BBC sport website from

:44:05.:44:11.

six o'clock. It is 744 exactly. You are watching breakfast from BBC

:44:12.:44:13.

News. Our main story this morning... You're watching

:44:14.:44:16.

Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:44:17.:44:17.

Britain has said it will protect Gibraltar from any sovereignty

:44:18.:44:20.

claims made by Spain A pay rise for two million people,

:44:21.:44:23.

as the national living wage rises I imagine the weather for the tennis

:44:24.:44:36.

in Miami is much nicer than it will be here over the next few days. Good

:44:37.:44:40.

morning! It will be a lot warmer. I don't

:44:41.:44:45.

have at the chance of showers in Miami is for the tennis, but quite a

:44:46.:44:49.

high chance of catching showers today. When we talk about showers

:44:50.:44:56.

and the weather, it's a real hit and miss day when the weather comes.

:44:57.:45:01.

Sort of a case of some towns and cities getting on downpour, the

:45:02.:45:05.

other is getting a few spots of rain, others having a completely dry

:45:06.:45:09.

day. The weather is all over the place. Where will they be affecting

:45:10.:45:16.

us? Say about lunchtime. We have showers developing across western

:45:17.:45:19.

areas of the UK. Not too many across the far east. Some of them could be

:45:20.:45:26.

heavy enough to bring some hail, maybe some claps of thunder around

:45:27.:45:30.

the north-west of England and the Lake District, showers scattered

:45:31.:45:34.

around across Northern Ireland and Scotland too. He had to miss. Lots

:45:35.:45:39.

of blue here and there. Moving slowly as well, so some of us could

:45:40.:45:44.

have them for a little while. Then the showers will affect eastern

:45:45.:45:48.

areas and by the time we get too dark the showers are on, so a clear

:45:49.:45:52.

night. They will only affect us through the day and in the evening

:45:53.:45:56.

it will be much clearer. A pretty nippy night on the way, not

:45:57.:46:01.

desperately cold. 7-8 in town, cold and out of town. Tomorrow morning a

:46:02.:46:08.

nippy start, with lots of sunshine. This high pressure, like a nose of

:46:09.:46:12.

high pressure coming from the south, will stop any showers from forming.

:46:13.:46:19.

Sunday is a step to be a nice day. We have the showers today, needing

:46:20.:46:25.

the umbrella is, and Sunday is a different day, very pleasant, light

:46:26.:46:28.

winds and lots of strong sunshine. Remember, the son is about as strong

:46:29.:46:34.

as it gets, so it will still burn. This summary, April showers today,

:46:35.:46:39.

chilly overnight and on Sunday another sunny day.

:46:40.:46:41.

Thank goodness! Thanks very much. Now on BBC News, it's

:46:42.:46:45.

time for Newswatch. This week, Samira Ahmed asks

:46:46.:46:47.

whether Brexit is being covered Hello and welcome to Newswatch

:46:48.:46:50.

with me, Samira Ahmed. Brexit is officially under way,

:46:51.:46:58.

but is the BBC playing down the views of unhappy Remainers,

:46:59.:47:01.

like the tens of thousands who marched through

:47:02.:47:04.

London last weekend? Plenty of complaints too

:47:05.:47:10.

that BBC News is far too negative about leaving,

:47:11.:47:14.

so how do you cover this 60 years ago last Saturday

:47:15.:47:16.

the Treaty of Rome, the founding agreement of what became

:47:17.:47:25.

the European Union, was signed. The anniversary was marked

:47:26.:47:29.

across Europe, but a march in London that day was less a celebration

:47:30.:47:32.

than a pained protest against the decision

:47:33.:47:35.

for Britain to leave the EU. REPORTER: After the violence a few,

:47:36.:47:44.

short days ago, a protest with peace Thousands made their way

:47:45.:47:47.

to Parliament Square. Many, like pensioner

:47:48.:47:51.

Jacqueline Skelton, had Many of her generation voted

:47:52.:47:52.

to leave in the referendum, but she sees that as a disaster

:47:53.:47:58.

for her home city of London. That report, which went on to hear

:47:59.:48:03.

from a number of those at the demonstration,

:48:04.:48:07.

ran on BBC London News, but BBC One's national network

:48:08.:48:09.

bulletins mentioned the march only in passing, with just ten seconds

:48:10.:48:12.

or so of footage shown. Many people complained to the BBC

:48:13.:48:15.

about what they saw as insufficient coverage, with two of those viewers

:48:16.:48:19.

recording their thoughts As Article 50 was being triggered

:48:20.:48:21.

on the 29th, I would have thought that much more credence

would have been given The early evening news put

the number attending I consider that there were a great

:48:34.:48:39.

deal more than this. As leaving the EU is such

:48:40.:48:43.

a momentous decision for this country, and for some of us

:48:44.:48:46.

a disaster, we should have had a lot It was disappointing, then,

:48:47.:48:50.

to find an organisation of the BBC's reputation, as supposedly

:48:51.:49:04.

an impartial reporting body, had neglected to give appropriate

:49:05.:49:06.

coverage to this huge event. I would like to know why

:49:07.:49:13.

the BBC did not deem Well, we put those points to BBC

:49:14.:49:16.

News and a spokesperson told us: That was the start of a week

:49:17.:49:52.

of television news which has been dominated by Wednesday's triggering

:49:53.:49:55.

by the government of Article 50, kickstarting officially

:49:56.:49:58.

the process of leaving the EU. The subject was extensively covered

:49:59.:50:04.

on BBC, with plenty of input from members of the public,

:50:05.:50:07.

giving their views on the UK's decision to depart and what

:50:08.:50:10.

they expected from the next It was all too much

:50:11.:50:12.

for David Robinson, who wrote: Not much chance of the BBC or any

:50:13.:50:32.

of the media leaving it alone, certainly not on Wednesday, when,

:50:33.:50:57.

in a special programme on BBC One, Andrew Neil interviewed

:50:58.:51:00.

the Prime Minister, followed by a number

:51:01.:51:02.

of other party leaders. The presenter came in for some

:51:03.:51:04.

praise for the way he conducted those interviews, including

:51:05.:51:07.

this telephone message. Thank goodness for Andrew Neil,

:51:08.:51:13.

among the very few in the BBC who keeps to strictly

:51:14.:51:16.

accurate quotations. In general, there is far too much

:51:17.:51:18.

sloppiness and bias, That allegation of bias in relation

:51:19.:51:20.

to Brexit is one we've heard since before last June's referendum

:51:21.:51:37.

and, in the past fortnight, politicians have joined

:51:38.:51:39.

in the argument, with 70 MPs writing to newspapers

:51:40.:51:41.

last week that the BBC had fallen far short of its obligation

:51:42.:51:45.

to provide balanced coverage and had skewed good economic news

:51:46.:51:48.

since the referendum. Then, on Thursday, a rival group

:51:49.:51:51.

of politicians wrote another letter, calling on the corporation to resist

:51:52.:51:54.

attempts at political interference and report fearlessly

:51:55.:51:57.

and impartially on the That divided reaction is also

:51:58.:51:59.

evident amongst Newswatch viewers, though most

:52:00.:52:06.

people we hear from side Might I suggest that just for once

:52:07.:52:08.

the BBC could be a little more up beat about our leaving

:52:09.:52:16.

the European Union? It's been so depressing

:52:17.:52:18.

having to listen to all your presenters, and God knows how

:52:19.:52:21.

many political editors you have, talking about Brexit, always,

:52:22.:52:24.

always in a negative fashion! Please, try and be

:52:25.:52:32.

a little more positive. Whether Brexit is a cause

:52:33.:52:34.

for celebration and a great opportunity for the UK

:52:35.:52:48.

to take back control, or a process which has already had

in the years ahead, depends But others agree that the BBC has

:52:58.:52:59.

been emphasising the latter Well, let's take a step back

departure from the European Union with the corporation's

:53:58.:54:00.

chief political adviser, As you heard, there are strong

:54:01.:54:05.

feelings on all sides. Is there something different

:54:06.:54:08.

about Brexit which makes the BBC's commitment to impartiality actually

:54:09.:54:11.

quite a new challenge? I think whenever you have

:54:12.:54:13.

a referendum, in particular, opinion becomes very polarised

:54:14.:54:16.

and views become very entrenched and it is very difficult often

:54:17.:54:18.

to appreciate or even value Leave have won and our job now

:54:19.:54:21.

is to really scrutinise carefully the execution of

and politicians in Europe. So our job now is much more

:54:50.:54:58.

intricate and complicated than a simple, sort of,

:54:59.:55:00.

mathematical balance between people So that journalistic challenge

:55:01.:55:03.

is really very strong. But the audience trust the BBC to do

:55:04.:55:07.

it more than anyone else. We do get a lot of complaints,

:55:08.:55:11.

especially from pro-Brexit viewers, who feel the BBC is rerunning

:55:12.:55:13.

the referendum by always airing what might go wrong

:55:14.:55:16.

or what not work. There will be parts

:55:17.:55:19.

of the community who will have concerns about it and

:55:20.:55:24.

we should report that. I don't think every time we find

:55:25.:55:26.

someone who is optimistic or pessimistic we should suddenly

:55:27.:55:29.

have to find the opposite We're no longer in that situation

:55:30.:55:32.

of a mathematical balance. What we do have to do

:55:33.:55:36.

is report it properly, so that the audience understands

:55:37.:55:39.

what the challenges and issues are. It mustn't just be the people

:55:40.:55:42.

who are worried, it must be also the people who think

:55:43.:55:53.

there are opportunities. We heard a reference

:55:54.:55:55.

to the march last weekend, that the BBC supposedly

:55:56.:55:58.

goes to great lengths to ensure their coverage

:55:59.:56:00.

is impartial. Could you give us an insight

:56:01.:56:01.

into how you do that, how you monitor and

:56:02.:56:04.

measure impartiality? We put a lot of obligation

:56:05.:56:06.

on individual programme editors to do that and part of what I do

:56:07.:56:09.

is to help them do that. But across time, it may

:56:10.:56:13.

not be an individual programme, it may be

:56:14.:56:15.

a series of programmes, people have to think about making

:56:16.:56:17.

sure they get the range of views and that will be different

:56:18.:56:20.

for different programmes. Is that partly about a head count,

:56:21.:56:23.

or measuring air time? I think it's really important

:56:24.:56:26.

that we don't pretend you can get impartiality by the stop watch

:56:27.:56:29.

all the abacus or a calculator. You don't measure

:56:30.:56:32.

impartiality by maths. You get impartiality by really good

:56:33.:56:34.

judgement and that's what our editors are trying

:56:35.:56:36.

to do all the time. People also wonder how the BBC

:56:37.:56:40.

should be reporting a story like, say, Lloyds Bank moving

:56:41.:56:43.

jobs to Brussels. To some viewers, it is an example

:56:44.:56:45.

of emphasising the negative, when that's only one

:56:46.:56:48.

event in a big, often I think you have to make judgements

:56:49.:56:50.

on individual stories and you have to decide what level of prominence

:56:51.:57:01.

they're due and you have to take advice from the business

:57:02.:57:05.

community and so on. So, in the end, editors make

:57:06.:57:07.

judgements about those things. It is important that when you hear

:57:08.:57:09.

those stories you also hear others that might reflect something

:57:10.:57:13.

from a different perspective. After all, this is going

:57:14.:57:15.

on for a long time. Over the next couple of years

:57:16.:57:18.

of negotiations there will be many examples of this and I think it's

:57:19.:57:23.

quite right that editors should be challenged to think about a wide

:57:24.:57:26.

range of views, not just those stories that you've heard talked

:57:27.:57:30.

about by viewers today. On the other hand, many viewers have

:57:31.:57:32.

got in touch with Newswath to say any criticism, any critics

:57:33.:57:36.

of Brexit, are labelled Remainers and they feel the BBC is cowed

:57:37.:57:42.

by the political criticism, notably from MPs who complained

:57:43.:57:46.

to the director-general. One MP actually said this week that

:57:47.:57:48.

relying on MPs to be arbiters of impartiality was a bit

:57:49.:57:55.

like asking Sir Alex Ferguson to referee a home

:57:56.:57:58.

match at Old Trafford. I think you've got to remember

:57:59.:58:00.

where criticism is coming from. It is important the BBC listens

:58:01.:58:03.

to criticism and acts on it, but it's also really important that

:58:04.:58:06.

we're robust in defending the BBC's editorial decisions

I think some of us might have to run for cover today from a few showers

:01:25.:01:29.

-- the weekend. Tomorrow is looking mostly sunny.

:01:30.:01:32.

Tensions are rising over Gilbraltar's position during Brexit,

:01:33.:01:37.

after the EU gave Spain a potential veto on any future deal

:01:38.:01:40.

Last night, the government said it would stand up for Gibraltar's

:01:41.:01:44.

The enclave has accused Spain of trying to manipulate

:01:45.:01:49.

discussions, in order to further its 300-year-old

:01:50.:01:52.

Gibraltar has been in British hands in 1713.

:01:53.:01:59.

It shares a border with Spain, but rejects any Spanish

:02:00.:02:02.

The current proposals mean a deal between the UK and the EU

:02:03.:02:09.

would not apply to Gibraltar without an additional agreement

:02:10.:02:12.

Gibraltar's chief minister has fiercely rejected this as an attempt

:02:13.:02:19.

by Spain to encroach on the rock's ability to control its sovereignty.

:02:20.:02:26.

It is unfair and unnecessary and clearly discriminatory.

:02:27.:02:30.

I am grateful Spain has been foolish enough to play this card early

:02:31.:02:33.

in this process and not at five minutes to midnight

:02:34.:02:36.

with an agreement in place, bar the issue of Gibraltar.

:02:37.:02:40.

The British government has been quick to affirm

:02:41.:02:43.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson tweeted that the UK remains

:02:44.:02:48.

implacable and rocklike in our support for Gibraltar.

:02:49.:02:53.

But these are draft proposals, due to be finalised by the EU

:02:54.:02:57.

Theresa May has until then to try to persuade them to drop this

:02:58.:03:04.

Our Political Correspondent Matt Cole is in our London studio.

:03:05.:03:13.

What could this mean for negotiations?

:03:14.:03:20.

This is another fly in the ointment that I'm sure the British Government

:03:21.:03:25.

could certainly do without. We have had this week what the formal

:03:26.:03:29.

notification from Theresa May that Britain is going the leave the

:03:30.:03:32.

European Union. The Article 50 letter delivered on Wednesday. Then

:03:33.:03:36.

yesterday, Don add tusk, the President of the European Union

:03:37.:03:40.

council gave his preliminary response on behalf of the European

:03:41.:03:47.

Union as to how the EU would proceed with their negotiations -- Donald

:03:48.:04:00.

Tusk. This is not what was expected, the Spanish authorities intimated

:04:01.:04:02.

this wouldn't be something they would bring into the talks, so there

:04:03.:04:07.

might be some surprise in the corridors of power here that the

:04:08.:04:10.

Spanish have brought this in quite so soon. Donald Tusk yesterday, the

:04:11.:04:15.

President of the EU council, said the talks could get tough and he

:04:16.:04:18.

said they might be confrontational at times. I don't think people would

:04:19.:04:24.

have thought it would have got quite so confrontational quite so quickly.

:04:25.:04:27.

But these are just draft negotiations at the moment. The

:04:28.:04:31.

ministers, the heads and state of Government of the other 27 EU

:04:32.:04:36.

members will meet on 29th April to thrash out finally what their full

:04:37.:04:39.

details will be in terms of the negotiating strategy. We'll have to

:04:40.:04:47.

wait and see then whether the EU thinks it's OK for Spain to press

:04:48.:04:48.

this point. Two million people are set

:04:49.:04:51.

for a pay rise today, as the national living wage goes up

:04:52.:04:53.

to ?7.50 an hour. The change has been broadly

:04:54.:04:57.

welcomed by unions. But employers have expressed

:05:38.:05:41.

:05:42.:05:47.

employers are worried. Many members were already paying staff more than

:05:48.:05:50.

the level of the national living wage. For those that weren't, it's

:05:51.:05:55.

adding significant costs to their businesses, around about ?900 a year

:05:56.:05:58.

for staff on average and a further ?20 a year with the knock-on

:05:59.:06:02.

consequences for national insurance payments as well. Much of that cost

:06:03.:06:06.

will be absorbed by the businesses themselves rather than passing it on

:06:07.:06:10.

in the form of hire prices. And that is not the only change.

:06:11.:06:13.

Controversial business rates come into force today. Whilst most

:06:14.:06:17.

companies will be paying less, some, especially in the south-east, face

:06:18.:06:22.

much higher bills. And a new system for calculating car taxes starts.

of the condition in the hope that the rates of early detection

:09:35.:09:39.

Alsina from Bowel Cancer UK. Good morning. Deborah, thanks so

:09:40.:09:47.

much for coming in. How did you first realise that something was

:09:48.:09:54.

wrong? Just before Christmas, I went to have a colonoscopy and I'd been

:09:55.:09:58.

having symptoms for nearly a year, to be honest with you. I started

:09:59.:10:02.

bleeding about six months before. I'd been to my GP a few times and,

:10:03.:10:08.

as is the kind of standard practice many the UK, was sent off for some

:10:09.:10:12.

blood tests and they came back normal, including a screening test

:10:13.:10:16.

to see whether or not there was blood in my poo. Essentially, right

:10:17.:10:21.

up until a month before my diagnosis, all my tests were coming

:10:22.:10:25.

back normal and then it got to the point where I was referred to have a

:10:26.:10:30.

colonoscopy where they put a camera to see inside. It was that point

:10:31.:10:33.

just before Christmas that everybody in the room fell silent and found a

:10:34.:10:38.

six-centimetre due more inside my rectum. My consultant was great and

:10:39.:10:43.

knew straightaway that unfortunately it was cancerous. Things snowballed

:10:44.:10:49.

after that. You don't mind talking about these things, which is why you

:10:50.:10:51.

are asking. This week has been a very difficult week for you? Yes, if

:10:52.:10:56.

I'm being honest, when first diagnosed, they thought it was early

:10:57.:10:59.

stage because of the way it was presenting, despite the fact that it

:11:00.:11:07.

was a large tumour. But in people my age it's detected quite late. As I

:11:08.:11:11.

went through the process, I was hoping it would be stage one. When I

:11:12.:11:16.

was operated on, I was given the devastating news that it had gone to

:11:17.:11:22.

my lymph nodes which meant I was officially class three, which meant

:11:23.:11:25.

I was starting to undergo a six-month regime of chemo.

:11:26.:11:29.

Unfortunately I've had some really sad news that they think it's spread

:11:30.:11:32.

to my lungs which officially classifies me as stage four which

:11:33.:11:37.

unfortunately it doesn't mean I can't be cured, I'm still very

:11:38.:11:40.

hopeful for that but it means my journey's taken a very different

:11:41.:11:44.

turn and I'm sure there are statistics that Deborah will talk to

:11:45.:11:48.

you about and that will tell you the reality of the uphill struggle that

:11:49.:11:54.

I'm about to face. Deborah, the story is terrible to

:11:55.:11:59.

hear first hand isn't it. But we are hearing it more and more often in

:12:00.:12:02.

younger people? That is right. We are. Sadly, in this at least,

:12:03.:12:12.

Deborah is not unique. 2,500 of the 41,000 people diagnosed with bowel

:12:13.:12:16.

cancer every year in the UK are under 50 and 60% of under 50s are

:12:17.:12:21.

diagnosed at the later stages of the disease, stages three and four. 34%

:12:22.:12:26.

as an emergency admission when outcomes are often poorer. This is

:12:27.:12:31.

really significant because most people diagnosed in the early stage

:12:32.:12:35.

of the disease will survive bowel cancer. But it gets tougher and

:12:36.:12:39.

tougher as the disease develops and spreads. Now, the statistics are

:12:40.:12:43.

very shocking but of course they relate to all ages, including older

:12:44.:12:48.

patients, so younger patients like Deborah have a much better chance of

:12:49.:12:55.

surviving this because she's, apart from cancer, healthy, she has a

:12:56.:12:59.

really good chance of being able to cope with a very aggressive

:13:00.:13:04.

treatment that she now faces. But the reality she shouldn't have to be

:13:05.:13:08.

facing them, we need to enable everyone to have that chance of an

:13:09.:13:12.

early diagnosis. Deborah, you are very much on a mission now aren't

:13:13.:13:15.

you to tell people what they should be doing and what to look for?

:13:16.:13:19.

Absolutely. I've got two young children and I hope that by the time

:13:20.:13:24.

they get to my age, they won't have to undergo what I'm doing. I hope

:13:25.:13:28.

that actually nobody will have to undergo what I'm doing at the moment

:13:29.:13:31.

and that prognosis that actually I may not see my children grow up and

:13:32.:13:36.

I hope that actually by raising awareness of the fact that I was 35,

:13:37.:13:42.

or I am 35, I run marathons, I work out five times a week, I'm

:13:43.:13:47.

vegetarian, I've been vegetarian for 25 years, so when somebody says, you

:13:48.:13:51.

know, are you the typical person that might tick all the boxes for

:13:52.:13:57.

bowel cancer, 35-year-old vegetarian - no, unfortunately not. I think

:13:58.:14:00.

it's debunking that myth that actually A you are never too young

:14:01.:14:04.

and I know that's a big driving factor of bowel cancer UK in terms

:14:05.:14:08.

of, you are never too young to have bowel cancer and it's raising

:14:09.:14:13.

awareness that actually you don't have to look 69 and kind of be a

:14:14.:14:17.

bloke as well because people associate it very much with older

:14:18.:14:22.

men. What slowed down or delayed your diagnosis? Looking back, why

:14:23.:14:35.

did it take so long? So I think that unfortunately, even me, a deputy

:14:36.:14:42.

head in a school and really I'm on top of my own medical symptoms, even

:14:43.:14:46.

I didn't think it could happen to me. That's the sad reality that

:14:47.:14:50.

myself and my friends are only becoming aware of it through knowing

:14:51.:14:54.

that I've got bowel cancer and I think it's raising that awareness of

:14:55.:15:00.

whoever you are, you can have it. I think that in itself has delayed

:15:01.:15:04.

diagnosis because unfortunately I think you therefore, if you have

:15:05.:15:07.

bleeding, for example, which was one of my main symptoms, you therefore,

:15:08.:15:14.

at my age, begin to say, well, it's just haemorrhoids or whatever else

:15:15.:15:18.

it might be and statistically it's likely to be something that's quite

:15:19.:15:22.

benign and it's very likely to be not bowel cancer. I think it's just

:15:23.:15:25.

raising that awareness that actually it can happen. I'm thinking Deborah

:15:26.:15:31.

for you as a campaign group someone like Deborah, in the worst of

:15:32.:15:35.

situations, that's a message, you know, the way she's telling the

:15:36.:15:38.

story, the kind of person she is, it's a message that will resonate

:15:39.:15:43.

with people? I think so, which is why we are so incredibly grateful to

:15:44.:15:49.

Deborah and to many, many other patients and families who are

:15:50.:15:53.

supporting our Never Too Young campaign because we have stop this.

:15:54.:15:57.

This is a disease that is preventible, treatable and curable.

:15:58.:16:01.

Early diagnosis is key. We need to find a way of ensuring that younger

:16:02.:16:06.

patients such as Deborah are able to have the very best chances of

:16:07.:16:10.

long-term survival so she can enjoy the beautiful children that she has

:16:11.:16:13.

and the life that she should be having. And she will. Den rather,

:16:14.:16:18.

you are starting a fairly gruelling regime? Yes, I'm hoping to have

:16:19.:16:25.

another operation in a couple of weeks on my lungses, I've had part

:16:26.:16:29.

of my bowel removed already and I thought that was going to be it and

:16:30.:16:34.

now unfortunately I have to have another operation in a couple of

:16:35.:16:37.

weeks which is a good sign and then I will start a new course of

:16:38.:16:41.

chemotherapy which will be a second line course in the hope that I'm

:16:42.:16:49.

still going for a cure. I have a fantastic oncololgist and team who

:16:50.:16:51.

says they'll do everything humanly possible to keep me alive which is

:16:52.:16:55.

great for any cancer patient, you want to have that trust in the team

:16:56.:17:01.

that support you. I'll continue to remain positive.

:17:02.:17:04.

Thank you so much for coming in. I hope you don't mind me saying, a few

:17:05.:17:08.

deep breaths before we started weren't there, but thank you so much

:17:09.:17:11.

for sharing that, Deborah, thank you. Thank you both.

:17:12.:17:15.

Now to Tomas for the weekend weather.

:17:16.:17:31.

It's mixed this weekend. Heavy showers on the way. Sunshine now but

:17:32.:17:34.

you won't necessarily keep it through the day. Already this

:17:35.:17:38.

morning Wales and north-west parts of England have had some rain

:17:39.:17:42.

anyway. What will be happening oaf the next few hours then? Western

:17:43.:17:47.

parts of the UK will start to see the showers really grow and inland

:17:48.:17:52.

areas are in for a few downpours. They'll be very hit and miss. Some

:17:53.:17:57.

of us will miss them all together. Where you catch them could be some

:17:58.:18:01.

hail, thunder as well. You can see on the forecast map here, blobs of

:18:02.:18:08.

blue. Some showers will be heavy and some will be lighter. Some will pass

:18:09.:18:12.

overhead without any rainfall at all. Then the sun will be back. A

:18:13.:18:17.

changeable day on the way today. Later in the afternoon, heavier

:18:18.:18:21.

showers may break out in the eastern areas and here too perhaps hail and

:18:22.:18:27.

thunder. This evening, once the sunsets, the showers die away

:18:28.:18:30.

because the sun gives the energy that drives the showers. We are in

:18:31.:18:33.

for a clear night but it might take a while for all of the showers to

:18:34.:18:38.

clear. Chilly tonight but not desperately cold. Cold enough for

:18:39.:18:43.

grass frost in northern parts. Then Sunday promises to be a nice sunny

:18:44.:18:49.

day. We have this pleasant air of high pressure building in. Sunshine

:18:50.:18:54.

almost for everybody. I don't think it will be absolutely clear

:18:55.:18:59.

everywhere, maybe just a few fluffy clouds but on balance, a beautiful

:19:00.:19:03.

sunny Sunday on the way with respectable temperatures typically

:19:04.:19:06.

in the low teens maybe even 17 in London. A tale of two halves this

:19:07.:19:11.

weekend. Sunshine and you will need your brolly too. The better day of

:19:12.:19:15.

the two is going to be tomorrow. Back to you.

:19:16.:19:28.

Now it's time for us to look at the newspapers. Justin Urquhhart Stewart

:19:29.:19:38.

is here with us. Is all of this news real news, or is some of it fake

:19:39.:19:44.

news? Is some of it April Fool news? I tried to pick out the April Fools,

:19:45.:19:47.

it's difficult, I hope some of these are true. Where are you starting?

:19:48.:19:54.

With the Times. Women bosses are best! Still worry about it. What

:19:55.:19:59.

he's saying is that as a result of these reviews, he's been saying they

:20:00.:20:04.

are better at the employment skills than men and making employ, feel

:20:05.:20:10.

valued. Also they outperform men in setting goals, getting things done

:20:11.:20:14.

and following things through step by step. But, but, actually it's under

:20:15.:20:21.

pressure that then they find sometimes the women find it

:20:22.:20:25.

difficult. Not sure how you put that against Margaret Thatcher and

:20:26.:20:31.

Bodasea. There is Also the other but, why is the world then still run

:20:32.:20:35.

largely by men which is a very good question. Particularly in the City?

:20:36.:20:40.

There are very few there, yes, and the answer is because people take

:20:41.:20:44.

breaks for families, then come back and they are not at the same level.

:20:45.:20:50.

That is beginning to change. There are some bright women there who're

:20:51.:20:54.

wasted because they then go off and feel, I can't come back because I'm

:20:55.:20:58.

going to go in at a lower level. It's difficult for them to come back

:20:59.:21:03.

without the support in terms of childcare. Do you think, I mean you

:21:04.:21:11.

have been in the City for a while, do you think the culture's changing

:21:12.:21:17.

or are people still paying lip service? It's changed but very, very

:21:18.:21:23.

slowly. Go back to pre-1986 when we had Big Bang and the City was

:21:24.:21:29.

sexist, racist, divided by religion and classist as well, in certain

:21:30.:21:33.

areas. It's changed radically from that but still has a long way to go.

:21:34.:21:38.

Where next? Now to, oh dear, I'm afraid yes it's maybe April Fool,

:21:39.:21:43.

this is about the costs of costs going up. Everything is getting more

:21:44.:21:47.

expensive. Everything. Everything. This is the Daily Mail going through

:21:48.:21:50.

your household council tax, water bills and the energy bills going up,

:21:51.:21:58.

health care costs, 1st class stamps. When is it looking back to, where is

:21:59.:22:03.

the comparison? This is on a year. One year on, OK. So one year on. 65p

:22:04.:22:06.

for a stamp. ?88 a year for households, that

:22:07.:22:27.

doesn't seem a lot, but inflation is rising. We have had almost 0

:22:28.:22:33.

inflation. The Bank of England is looking at its target, youing up to

:22:34.:22:37.

3 or maybe even beyond 3%. What does that mean for us? It means if you

:22:38.:22:42.

are actually feeling worse off because of your pay levels may not

:22:43.:22:47.

be going up at the same level. Some things draw the eye more than

:22:48.:22:52.

others, petrol prices is the classic which people look at petrol prices

:22:53.:22:57.

and then think everything has risen. Some things are more subtle? The

:22:58.:23:01.

household things you tend to see, but the airport duty you don't

:23:02.:23:05.

notice until suddenly you are booking a holiday thinking, this is

:23:06.:23:09.

expensive. Buy a ticket these days and it's a third of the cost in just

:23:10.:23:13.

tax which is expensive. Your next story? Also a depressing one. Debt

:23:14.:23:22.

looms as savings hit record low. We have never been very good at saving

:23:23.:23:27.

in this country but we need to teach people finance right at school and

:23:28.:23:32.

learning them the habit of saving, whether it's into a bank or

:23:33.:23:36.

investments or a piggy bank. People are dipping into their savings to

:23:37.:23:41.

pay for their day-to-day living and unfortunately credit cards are all

:23:42.:23:44.

too easy, people have access to credit and if you don't know how to

:23:45.:23:49.

use a credit card properly, you will run up an expensive debt and then it

:23:50.:23:53.

takes a long time to try to pay it back. Take us away from the world of

:23:54.:23:59.

money? ! Absolutely. Did you see the Daily Mail story. This is an

:24:00.:24:04.

incredible story. Yes, there's been a huge build-up for at least an

:24:05.:24:08.

hour. You might have to help me here, Charlie, look at this world

:24:09.:24:11.

exclusive. Harry's secret wedding. In Las Vegas? Yes, they didn't want

:24:12.:24:21.

a fuss. There is the happy couple and we'd never really even noticed

:24:22.:24:25.

it and America didn't either, so full colour spread double page

:24:26.:24:32.

spread on Harry Windsor's wedding. Just so that we don't add to any

:24:33.:24:37.

confusion, what are we looking at? It's April 1st and we are looking at

:24:38.:24:42.

people either very good photo shops or excellent doubles here doing a

:24:43.:24:47.

very good impersonation. I can just say, looking at the Harry double,

:24:48.:24:52.

he's very, very good. Do you think they've got their Meghan yet? There

:24:53.:24:57.

is a clever photo where she's holding her arm across her face. We

:24:58.:25:00.

haven't found it have we. No, someone has a career opportunity

:25:01.:25:08.

there. Time for the polar bear? Yes. Could this be true? Stranded polar

:25:09.:25:13.

bear floats on to Scottish island. Then you look and there is a

:25:14.:25:21.

wonderful map showing 400 miles it drifted down. Not sure how many ice

:25:22.:25:27.

packs reached here. It's a lovely story. Can't blame him, it's a

:25:28.:25:31.

lovely place to get to. If it's true! You will be a back in

:25:32.:25:35.

an hour, see you then. Thank you very much. So, as we have been

:25:36.:25:38.

hearing, if you are fed up with the rat race and are seeking a better

:25:39.:25:43.

quality of life, Orkney, we are told is the best place to be. It's won in

:25:44.:25:50.

this poll. Not just for polar bears. They have topped a Bank of Scotland

:25:51.:25:54.

survey, the first time of rural locations which praise the islands

:25:55.:25:57.

for their stunning scenery, low crime rates and most importantly,

:25:58.:26:00.

great range of pubs. Yes! We can talk to Ken Amer in

:26:01.:26:09.

Orkney. Very good morning to you in Kirk wall. Disappointed we haven't

:26:10.:26:17.

got a shot of the beautiful surroundings behind you but you have

:26:18.:26:20.

come top of the poll. What is so special? Well, obviously the scenery

:26:21.:26:27.

is lovely but you can't live off that really, it's the people of

:26:28.:26:35.

Orkney that are so friendly. You know whatever's happening, if

:26:36.:26:38.

somebody falls in the street, you know their dad, granny and kids

:26:39.:26:41.

before you pick them up so it's a fantastic place.

:26:42.:26:45.

Ken, that's really important isn't it because, as you are talking we

:26:46.:26:49.

are looking at some pictures there. The point you are making really is

:26:50.:26:53.

scenery is one thing but the way people are and what they are like is

:26:54.:26:56.

possibly more important than that? Yes. Very much so. That is what

:26:57.:27:03.

makes Orkney so special. I think the old-fashioned valued are being lost

:27:04.:27:08.

on the mainland and here in Orkney and indeed the Western Isles and

:27:09.:27:12.

Shetland, because of course we are surrounded by sea we know each

:27:13.:27:16.

other, we leave our houses open and pop in and have a cup of tea and

:27:17.:27:22.

visit anybody we want. You are a photographer, Ken, and we have one

:27:23.:27:27.

or two of the images you have taken. Can you explain one thing. As I

:27:28.:27:31.

understand it, Orkney came in, I think it's 47th last time around and

:27:32.:27:35.

it's now shot up to number one on this list, can you account for that

:27:36.:27:41.

in anyway? Probably we are getting more sunshine I think. No we are not

:27:42.:27:44.

actually! The weather is a defining factor here, but I still really

:27:45.:27:51.

passionately believe that it's the old-fashioned values. We have had a

:27:52.:27:55.

lot of publicity recently on the BBC especially and I think people are

:27:56.:28:00.

becoming more aware that just what it's like to live in Scotland

:28:01.:28:04.

communities as opposed to big cities where you are in Manchester.

:28:05.:28:16.

Presumably there are people up there, people move away from remote

:28:17.:28:21.

areas, Scotland has a problem with people moving away mostly for work,

:28:22.:28:24.

which is an issue isn't it? Yes, it is. It doesn't matter what you do in

:28:25.:28:30.

Orkney, work-wise, whether you are a self-employed person like myself or

:28:31.:28:34.

whether you are an em-Moyesee, it's a very low ceiling. There is only

:28:35.:28:40.

20,000 souls here in Orkney and you find that it doesn't matter what

:28:41.:28:44.

trade you are in, it's replicated about ten times. The downside is

:28:45.:28:49.

that it's very difficult to make a living if you are self-employed

:28:50.:28:54.

because there's so many people doing the same job. To etch a living is

:28:55.:29:02.

quite a skill in small communities. Ken, lovely to talk to you today. Go

:29:03.:29:08.

and have a cup of tea with your neighbours which sounds absolutely

:29:09.:29:11.

delightful. Thank you for talking to us today. Thank you very much.

:29:12.:29:15.

Orkney, this you go. Number one. The best place to live. Beautiful. Stay

:29:16.:29:18.

with us, headlines coming up. Hello this is Breakfast. Coming up,

:29:19.:29:37.

the weather and a look ahead to the sport across the weekend. First, at

:29:38.:29:44.

8. 8. 29, the main news: Tensions are rising over Gibraltar's position

:29:45.:29:48.

with Brexit after the EU gave Spain a potential veto on any particular

:29:49.:29:53.

deal for the territory. Spain have been accused of trying to manipulate

:29:54.:29:58.

it. The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson says the Government would be

:29:59.:30:04.

implacable and rock-like in its support for Gibraltar. Two million

:30:05.:30:08.

people are set for a pay rise as the national living wage rises to ?7. 50

:30:09.:30:12.

an hour. The change has been broadly welcomed by unions. There have been

:30:13.:30:18.

calls from campaigners to make the figure higher as there are concerns

:30:19.:30:21.

about the strain. Around 4,000 households in England

:30:22.:30:32.

earning more than ?100,000 a year have received taxpayers'

:30:33.:30:35.

money to help them buy a home. Official figures also

:30:36.:30:37.

reveal that the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme has assisted

:30:38.:30:39.

more than 20,000 households Labour said it showed the initiative

:30:40.:30:42.

was "badly targeted" but the government insisted it

funded by the health service for women under

40 from two to three. The change is expected to cost

:30:59.:31:00.

about ?1 million a year. Protesters in Paraguay have stormed

:31:01.:31:12.

the Congress and set fire to the building as anger grows over moves

:31:13.:31:14.

to allow President Cartes to stand for a second term.

:31:15.:31:18.

The demonstrations were triggered by a Senate vote behind closed doors

:31:19.:31:21.

to change the constitution, ending the one term limit.

:31:22.:31:23.

Campaigners say Paraguay's democracy is under threat.

:31:24.:31:40.

President Donald Trump left the Oval Office on Friday without signing the

:31:41.:31:43.

executive orders that he was there to announce. He continued walking as

:31:44.:31:46.

a reporter shouted questions about whether Mr Trump was trying to get

:31:47.:31:49.

immunity for his former adviser Michael Flynn, who was forced to

:31:50.:31:51.

resign over alleged links to Russia. Amid journalists' confusion,

:31:52.:31:53.

Vice-President Mike Pence picked up the orders from the table, and they

:31:54.:31:54.

were signed in another room. Bob Dylan will finally

:31:55.:31:56.

accept his Nobel Prize The American singer won the award

in October but failed to travel to pick it up,

:31:59.:32:02.

or deliver the lecture that is required to receive

:32:03.:32:04.

the prize fund of around ?700,000. If he doesn't fulfil the conditions

:32:05.:32:07.

by June, he will have to

:32:08.:32:09.

forfeit his winnings. It's April fools

:32:10.:32:20.

day and it's 60 years since television viewers first

:32:21.:32:25.

saw this. The past winter, one of the mildest

:32:26.:32:37.

in living memory, has had its effect in other ways as well, it has

:32:38.:32:39.

resulted in an especially heavy spaghetti harvest.

:32:40.:32:44.

This is Panorama's famous Spaghetti tree report.

:32:45.:32:46.

The three minute broadcast was watched by eight million people.

:32:47.:32:48.

Unfortunately some viewers failed to see the funny side,

:32:49.:32:50.

where they could purchase their very own tree.

:32:51.:32:54.

Thing is, I still wish it were true! LAUGHTER

:32:55.:33:01.

The papers have done a view, Formula 1 have done one... I don't know

:33:02.:33:08.

whether I should say that. Left-handed tracks! Tracks you can

:33:09.:33:17.

only drive around one way, they will change direction.

:33:18.:33:23.

Is part of the problem that it is so easy to check things now. So you

:33:24.:33:32.

just checked it is not true, fine. Part of the problem is that lots of

:33:33.:33:35.

the real news is so strange that people cannot tell! Have you got

:33:36.:33:38.

some real things to tell us? It raises a smile, anyway, and

:33:39.:33:46.

something else that raises a smile, the progress of your anaconda. --

:33:47.:33:50.

the progress of Johanna Konta. Konta the first British

:33:51.:33:57.

woman to reach the final. She's had a great year already

:33:58.:33:59.

winning her second title at the Sydney International before

:34:00.:34:02.

reaching the quarter finals She recognises that winning a third

:34:03.:34:04.

title later is going to be difficult Roger Federer in the final again as

:34:05.:34:08.

well. Most important thing is to look to

:34:09.:34:30.

enjoy the occasion a little bit more. It is a great tournament to be

:34:31.:34:39.

in, a part of to the very end. Not easy to get opportunities like this,

:34:40.:34:46.

I play against enquiry be tough opponents, someone who has been

:34:47.:34:49.

around the top of the game for so long. Overall, good enjoyment for

:34:50.:34:52.

the challenges, and it will come. Good luck to her.

:34:53.:34:58.

It's perhaps no great surprise after his ongoing injury problems.

:34:59.:35:00.

Tiger Woods has pulled out of Golf's first major of the year,

:35:01.:35:03.

He said he's just not "tournament ready" due to his troublesome back,

:35:04.:35:08.

and that there's no timetable for his return.

:35:09.:35:10.

He was sidelined for 15 months after two surgeries to try and fix it.

:35:11.:35:13.

The 14-time major winner won his first major

:35:14.:35:15.

Better news for Britain's Charley Hull.

:35:16.:35:22.

She's three shots off the lead at the halfway stage

:35:23.:35:24.

of the first women's major of the year in California.

:35:25.:35:27.

She finished off her first round with this birdie at the 18th.

:35:28.:35:30.

No hanging around though, she immediately started her second

:35:31.:35:32.

round following delays in the schedule

:35:33.:35:33.

Norway's Suzann Pettersen leads on 7-under.

:35:34.:35:38.

Second placed Aberdeen prevented Celtic from being crowned

:35:39.:35:42.

Scottish Premiership champions last night after beating Dundee 7-0.

:35:43.:35:50.

Had they lost, then the title would have been Celtic's,

:35:51.:35:53.

It was partly down to this guy Andrew Considine who

:35:54.:35:55.

Not often you see a defender score a hat trick.

:35:56.:35:59.

A win for Celtic against Hearts on Sunday will clinch the title.

:36:00.:36:01.

What a game to get this weekend's Premier league

:36:02.:36:04.

It's the Merseyside derby this lunchtime.

:36:05.:36:06.

Liverpool welcoming Everton to Anfield.

:36:07.:36:07.

Let's hear from both managers, firstly Jurgen Klopp,

:36:08.:36:10.

who's been impressed with the way Everton have

:36:11.:36:12.

They have had a really good run, they have not lost a lot of games in

:36:13.:36:25.

the last few weeks and months. The result, obviously confident. What we

:36:26.:36:31.

are Liverpool, we play at Anfield, and no one should underestimate the

:36:32.:36:35.

power of Anfield. Whenever we play at Anfield we all have to create a

:36:36.:36:39.

special atmosphere. It is a new season, it is a new game, a new

:36:40.:36:48.

manager. At Everton. And I don't know why... I heard a little bit

:36:49.:36:53.

about the last two seasons of Everton, that maybe they were too

:36:54.:36:58.

afraid to play against Liverpool. Why do you need to be afraid to play

:36:59.:37:02.

against Liverpool? I don't understand that.

:37:03.:37:04.

League leaders Chelsea are 10 points clear at the top,

:37:05.:37:07.

but can extend that when they play Crystal Palace.

:37:08.:37:09.

And there's another Derby at teatime,

:37:10.:37:15.

or the "El Classi-coast" as it's being dubbed.

:37:16.:37:22.

Southampton taking on Bournemouth are neck and neck in

:37:23.:37:27.

We just heard from manager Ronald Koeman there who witnessed his

:37:28.:37:41.

defender Seamus Coleman suffer a really nasty injury whilst playing

:37:42.:37:44.

for his country the Republic of Ireland against Wales on

:37:45.:37:46.

International duty. And now he's at the centre of a row after accusing

:37:47.:37:48.

the national coach Martin O'Neill of not protecting his player whilst he

:37:49.:37:51.

was away from his club side on International duty. But O'Neill's

:37:52.:37:52.

responded calling the Everton manager a "master tactician of the

:37:53.:37:55.

blame game". You wonder whether or not that is an argument that is

:37:56.:37:57.

going to run and run. Dan Walker is here, football focus coming up

:37:58.:38:02.

later. That is not the only disagreement, Saido Berahino, moving

:38:03.:38:10.

Stoke City from West Brom, bit of a falling out. Interesting character,

:38:11.:38:12.

we have a fascinatingly honest interview with him, he has hardly

:38:13.:38:15.

played for West Brom at all, he failed a drugs test last season, he

:38:16.:38:21.

was banned for a number of games as well, moved to Stoke, there to say

:38:22.:38:24.

he has fallen out of love with West Brom, he arrived as a young man,

:38:25.:38:28.

from Molenbeek, he came to Birmingham with his mother, came to

:38:29.:38:33.

West Brom and moved up through the youth ranks, he talks in his

:38:34.:38:38.

interview about how he fell out of love with a club that has done so

:38:39.:38:42.

much for him. Let's have a look. I was depressed, every time I went to

:38:43.:38:45.

the training ground, did not want to be there, that was the hardest

:38:46.:38:50.

thing. From going from loving something to hating the place that

:38:51.:38:57.

made you, it is hard to take. Even if I was just playing... There is

:38:58.:39:00.

ways of doing things... There is times I was training with the youth

:39:01.:39:05.

team... Not the sort of interview that is going to please West Brom

:39:06.:39:08.

fans, he holds up his hands and says there were things that he did which

:39:09.:39:12.

were wrong, attitude was wrong, but he also says he did not feel that

:39:13.:39:15.

the club did not deal with him properly. When you mention Stoke

:39:16.:39:20.

City, his new club, a smile comes upon his face. Fascinating

:39:21.:39:23.

interview. The Merseyside derby, Mark Lawrenson in the red corner,

:39:24.:39:30.

Kevin in the blue corner. Talking about Celtic as well, could have

:39:31.:39:36.

been the weekend they won the title. Coventry taking 42,000 fans to

:39:37.:39:39.

Wembley for the EFL Trophy, club in real turmoil but they had to have a

:39:40.:39:45.

really good Wembley weekend. Claude Puel, Southampton boss, he is on,

:39:46.:39:51.

talking about what you are talking about, El Classicoast, and we have

:39:52.:39:56.

Premier League predictions as well coming from the comedian, Omid

:39:57.:40:04.

Djalili. Couldn't read my notes there. Mango fingers!

:40:05.:40:09.

Congratulations on the net where there are. Full knitwear! --

:40:10.:40:25.

congratulations on the knitwear. I got distracted by mango fingers, we

:40:26.:40:26.

are back to one hour, and we Curling is one of Team GB's most

:40:27.:40:32.

successful Winter Olypmic sports. But that's all thanks to Scotland.

:40:33.:40:35.

In the future, though, they could be getting help from south of the

:40:36.:40:38.

border. Mike's been to a farm in Kent where they've built England's

:40:39.:40:39.

first dedicated curling rink. VOICEOVER: Where once they milked

:40:40.:40:53.

cows, they are forming a new breed, intend, the Garden of England, they

:40:54.:40:58.

are milking something very rare outside of Scotland, curling talent

:40:59.:40:59.

for the future. It is because there was nothing in

:41:00.:41:17.

England, I came down from Scotland, where curling was something that all

:41:18.:41:19.

the family did. It was really a community thing. I would say, the

:41:20.:41:23.

cows, they made a mess, you did not get any money, brought in the

:41:24.:41:28.

curlers, brought in the curlers, and they make a mess and they still did

:41:29.:41:32.

not make any money! But he has stirred a passion for the sport in

:41:33.:41:35.

southern England, helping to nurture future stars that could one day help

:41:36.:41:39.

the Scots to strengthen the British team. At the moment this is the only

:41:40.:41:44.

dedicated purpose-built curling rink outside of Scotland but another will

:41:45.:41:49.

open in Lancashire, in Preston, later this year. Such a simple game,

:41:50.:41:53.

push a rock up the ice, at any level you can enjoy it. It is straight,

:41:54.:42:01.

could be short... A lot of sweeping to do there. Straighter than I

:42:02.:42:07.

thought it was going to be. Next year 's Winter Olympics will be the

:42:08.:42:09.

first to feature a mixed doubles competition, not sure I will be

:42:10.:42:12.

getting the nod from Annabel or any of the young curlers. I like

:42:13.:42:19.

sliding, you have to have a very specific technique to get it right,

:42:20.:42:21.

takes time to perfect. It comes down to tactics, comes down to knowing

:42:22.:42:24.

what the opposition is thinking and where you can put it to win the

:42:25.:42:31.

game. They do say this game is like chess, I am going to give him a

:42:32.:42:32.

couple of tactical signals... The great thing about this board,

:42:33.:42:46.

you don't need to be on ice skates, one of the few I sport where you

:42:47.:42:49.

don't need any skating ability to take part, my job is to sweep as

:42:50.:42:52.

soon as they say sweet, here we go... To try to get it the extra few

:42:53.:42:57.

feet and centimetres. Get it into the circle... Come on, come on. That

:42:58.:43:03.

is our own stone! You don't need to be a typical athlete to get along

:43:04.:43:07.

with curling, there is lots of different types of curlers, and it

:43:08.:43:10.

is a great sport because there is individual skill involved, but you

:43:11.:43:15.

need to play as a team. In this board, it is never quite over until

:43:16.:43:16.

the last stone. Thieves are stealing ?24 from bank

:43:17.:43:27.

customers every second and the banks themselves admit that they stop

:43:28.:43:30.

unless fraud than they did a year ago, Financial Fraud Action UK also

:43:31.:43:33.

says criminals are getting better at fooling us into helping them take

:43:34.:43:35.

our money. Paul Lewis from Radio 4's Money Box programme is in our London

:43:36.:43:38.

studio. According to the latest industry report. How much is being

:43:39.:43:49.

stolen? Well, a total of ?769 million every year, was stolen, that

:43:50.:43:56.

is ?24 every second. -- in a year. By the time we have finished this

:43:57.:44:01.

item, that will be another ?5,000 disappear from accounts, absolutely

:44:02.:44:04.

extraordinary, and worse then, as you mentioned, is that prevention is

:44:05.:44:10.

falling. So, whereas in the past they prevented about 70p in every

:44:11.:44:16.

pound being stolen, now it is down to 64p. They are letting through

:44:17.:44:27.

more than one third. How thieves getting cleverer? The technological

:44:28.:44:39.

tags are 40 by the banks, they know how to stop them coming in and

:44:40.:44:42.

taking money out, what thieves do now is concentrate on the weak

:44:43.:44:45.

point, I am sorry to say, that is asked, customers, you and me, they

:44:46.:44:47.

are very clever, they ring up, they pretend to be from a trusted source,

:44:48.:44:50.

like Microsoft, a supermarket, BT, they say there is a problem with

:44:51.:44:55.

something or another and they want to sort something out otherwise the

:44:56.:44:59.

bank account may be at risk, very persuasive, they persuade you to

:45:00.:45:02.

give them access to your account by giving them access to the computer,

:45:03.:45:06.

they persuade you to give them a pass code from your bank, and then

:45:07.:45:15.

they use that to rob you. I reported earlier in the year, on a lady who

:45:16.:45:18.

had lost ?180,000 because the thieves managed to persuade her that

:45:19.:45:20.

they were just changing the pay, in fact, they were taking money from

:45:21.:45:24.

her. What can we do to protect ourselves better? Be completely

:45:25.:45:29.

suspicious, if anybody contact you to say, might be a problem on your

:45:30.:45:34.

bank account, don't believe them! Do not believe them. Put down the

:45:35.:45:39.

phone, use another phone, ring your bank on a number that you trust, if

:45:40.:45:44.

you want to check, make sure everything is OK, which it always

:45:45.:45:51.

will be. Strangers will not renew and say there is a problem on your

:45:52.:45:53.

bank account or your broadband or computer, they just won't do it for

:45:54.:45:56.

any legitimate reason. We have to say, no. The sad thing is, the banks

:45:57.:46:04.

don't seem able to stop it, it is down to us. That is a warning. Thank

:46:05.:46:08.

you very much. Don't trust anybody, be suspicious of everything.

:46:09.:46:16.

And you can hear more about this on Money Box on BBC Radio 4 at midday.

:46:17.:46:21.

Main stories: Britain has said it will protect Gibraltar from any

:46:22.:46:26.

sovereignty claims made by Spain during Brexit negotiations. A pay

:46:27.:46:31.

rise for 2 million people, as the national living wage rises to ?7 50,

:46:32.:46:33.

an hour. -- ?7.50, an hour. Weather this weekend is going to be

:46:34.:46:46.

a little bit all over the place, and friendly fair weather clouds may be

:46:47.:46:51.

for a moment this morning, but then, those clouds will go into something

:46:52.:46:52.

a little more ugly. This is rain, the sun is beginning

:46:53.:47:06.

to poke through the clouds in one or two places. Those clouds are also

:47:07.:47:08.

going to be growing through the morning into the afternoon. Plenty

:47:09.:47:20.

of showers on the way, hit and miss, some of us get them, some do not,

:47:21.:47:23.

50/50 chance of catching rain, certainly a chance across

:47:24.:47:24.

south-western England, through Wales, western parts of the UK, this

:47:25.:47:27.

is where they will be at their heaviest and fall earlier in the

:47:28.:47:30.

day. Eastern parts of the country will tend to get the showers later

:47:31.:47:35.

on. If you live in Lincolnshire, the East Midlands, the south-east, those

:47:36.:47:39.

showers will brew later on, and also a chance of hail and thunder. Once

:47:40.:47:44.

the sun sets, the energy is lost from the sun, the showers can

:47:45.:47:48.

sustain themselves, they fall apart, and we are left with clear skies

:47:49.:47:53.

overnight. Try one tonight, pretty chilly, just a touch of frost across

:47:54.:47:58.

northern areas, tomorrow, beautiful sunny note for most of us. Banks to

:47:59.:48:10.

this area of low pressure. That will settle things down for many of us.

:48:11.:48:13.

Fine day on the way, two very different days, from a showery

:48:14.:48:17.

Saturday to a much sunny Sunday. How about the temperatures? Tomorrow

:48:18.:48:19.

will feel warmer than today, tomorrow will have more sun around,

:48:20.:48:25.

temperatures up to 17, a bit closer around the coast, and more

:48:26.:48:28.

typically, 13, four Leeds and Sheffield. Summary this weekend,

:48:29.:48:34.

April showers today. -- for beat United. -- for Leeds.

:48:35.:48:55.

You might remember The Crystal Maze, the quiz show in the 1990s.

:48:56.:48:58.

And if you ever wished you could have a go,

:48:59.:49:00.

The format has been revived as part of an immersive

:49:01.:49:04.

theatrical production, which sees people take part,

:49:05.:49:06.

influence the show, and even become characters themselves.

:49:07.:49:08.

Breakfast's Tim Muffett has been to have a go.

:49:09.:49:09.

participants, not just watching the show but being in it. The Crystal

:49:10.:49:20.

Maze Experience opens today in Manchester, based on the early 90s

:49:21.:49:24.

television programme. A really British TV show, a sense of

:49:25.:49:27.

irreverence, it was funny, tongue in cheek, silly... That is just the way

:49:28.:49:36.

the Wookie grumbles(!) this new Manchester production will see

:49:37.:49:38.

audience members compete for crystals, to buy time in the crystal

:49:39.:49:43.

dome. Will you start the fans please! We have broken the

:49:44.:49:48.

disconnect now between people wanting to be active and passive,

:49:49.:49:53.

wanting to play and follow a journey rather than just be sat in a dark

:49:54.:49:57.

auditorium. This immersive production might be inspired by a

:49:58.:50:02.

television game show, but many theatre producers have sought out

:50:03.:50:06.

new audiences by making them part of the story. Montagues and Capulets, a

:50:07.:50:17.

very different version of Romeo + Juliet, the latest production by

:50:18.:50:23.

these immersive specialists, Colab Theatre. There is dodge ball, a 90s

:50:24.:50:31.

rave, audience choose which subplot to follow. Very immersive, not quite

:50:32.:50:37.

what I was expecting. The fact it involves everybody, that is the

:50:38.:50:41.

thing, you are not sitting severally. The arts Council has seen

:50:42.:50:45.

a big rise in the number of funding applications from experimental

:50:46.:50:50.

theatre group, up 42% since 2014. Many immersive shows like this one

:50:51.:50:54.

based on Alice in Wonderland have proved popular, but some feel that

:50:55.:50:59.

the novelty is wearing them. What has changed in immersive theatre, it

:51:00.:51:02.

has gone from an art form that was new and exciting to being something

:51:03.:51:09.

that people are ending up going for the experience of it. If you haven't

:51:10.:51:12.

got something you want to say and achieve, by bringing the audience

:51:13.:51:21.

into the show, you may as well not do it immersive leak, you may as

:51:22.:51:24.

well not do it at all. Confusing at times, audience participation is a

:51:25.:51:26.

must, the growth of immersive theatre suggest that watching a show

:51:27.:51:28.

is for some no longer enough. We will have a full review of the

:51:29.:51:37.

newspapers coming up in the next hour.

:51:38.:51:42.

When journalist Peter Taylor stepped nervously onto a plane in 1967,

:51:43.:51:46.

bound for the Middle East, he had no idea it would be the start of a

:51:47.:51:48.

career spanning 50 years. At the time "terrorism" was barely in our

:51:49.:51:51.

vocabulary, but as he covered the Troubles in Northern Ireland,

:51:52.:51:53.

Al-Qaeda and the rise of so-called Islamic State, he's seen how

:51:54.:51:55.

extremist ideology has evolved. He joins us now but first, let's take a

:51:56.:51:56.

look at some of his reporting. Good morning. We will have a look

:51:57.:52:12.

back now. Talk us through some of these images afterwards. These young

:52:13.:52:15.

gorillas here are outside of the borders of South Africa. We cannot

:52:16.:52:21.

identify the location and we cannot show the they are for reasons of

:52:22.:52:23.

security. -- guerillas. All we can say is that many of these young

:52:24.:52:26.

people left is a way to five years ago in the aftermath of the rights

:52:27.:52:29.

of June, 1976. -- left Soweto. You say that he will fight the

:52:30.:52:44.

soldiers? I want to fight for my country. If I were to interview some

:52:45.:52:51.

children about the same age as you were when I interviewed you, 40

:52:52.:52:58.

years ago, and if one of those children said to me now, that he

:52:59.:53:01.

wanted to fight and die for Ireland, what would you say? I would tell him

:53:02.:53:05.

to forget it. All the people who died... They thought they were

:53:06.:53:13.

fighting for their country. But it didn't work out that way. To show

:53:14.:53:16.

just how close we are to the Islamic State line, if you look over there,

:53:17.:53:24.

you can see the black flag of the Islamic State, and it is only about

:53:25.:53:28.

200 metres away. 200 metres from the black flag of

:53:29.:53:40.

Islamic State... Yes, but we didn't get any closer to the black flag.

:53:41.:53:43.

But that was one of those cases... I am not a war reporter but

:53:44.:53:45.

occasionally I have to go to war zones, and that was one of those

:53:46.:53:50.

operations, where we came pretty close. You have had the knack over

:53:51.:53:56.

your career of being in the right place at moments crucial to world

:53:57.:54:02.

history. Is that by design? Is it because you are more brave than

:54:03.:54:07.

anybody else? More tenacious? I would not say I am any braver,

:54:08.:54:14.

partly by design, because you can see the way that certain situations

:54:15.:54:16.

are going to evolve, but also, there are moments when you have to take

:54:17.:54:22.

certain risks, like that piece of me in the middle of nowhere, in Angola,

:54:23.:54:25.

with the ANC gorillas, who fled South Africa five years earlier, it

:54:26.:54:29.

took me months to arrange the facility to go to Angola and do the

:54:30.:54:32.

filming. -- ANC guerillas. It had never been done before. The morning

:54:33.:54:37.

of my departure, I got a phone call from the ANC headquarters saying,

:54:38.:54:42.

you cannot come, too dangerous, risky for us, don't do it. You sit

:54:43.:54:46.

there, you have the tickets, and you think, what do I do, do I be a good

:54:47.:54:50.

boy and state, or take the risk? I arrived in Rand and Angola, at the

:54:51.:54:57.

headquarters, to see the big commissar, and he said, didn't you

:54:58.:55:00.

get the message, what are you doing here? And I said, message, what

:55:01.:55:04.

message. -- Rwanda. LAUGHTER Anyway, we managed to do it. Playing

:55:05.:55:10.

dumb can help. Playing innocent, I don't tell lies, occasionally a

:55:11.:55:14.

white lie is necessary to get a result, that was the only time that

:55:15.:55:18.

the young students who fled South Africa five years ago after the

:55:19.:55:21.

massacre in is a waiter had ever been filmed. Part of being a

:55:22.:55:26.

reporter, you deal with what is in front of you at that time and place,

:55:27.:55:30.

but maybe now, you reflect on what you have seen over the years, the

:55:31.:55:36.

notion that terrorism has changed, that terrorists used to target

:55:37.:55:40.

high-profile people, specific people, and how it has changed now,

:55:41.:55:46.

what do you see that as James? It has changed at magically since I

:55:47.:55:52.

first met the IRA, back in Londonderry, 1972, after bloody

:55:53.:55:56.

Sunday, when the IRA as we know it, as we knew it, which is beginning to

:55:57.:56:02.

emerge. Over 50 years, I have watched counterterrorism developed

:56:03.:56:06.

from the IRA, who had a specific aim, and a specific modus operandi,

:56:07.:56:12.

the IRA killed many civilians, let's not underestimate that, but by and

:56:13.:56:16.

large, the IRA tactic was not to deliberately kill civilians,

:56:17.:56:20.

although many civilians were killed by the IRA. Contrast that with

:56:21.:56:25.

Al-Qaeda and so-called Islamic State, there are modus operandi is

:56:26.:56:29.

to target, massacre, as many innocent civilians as possible with

:56:30.:56:37.

no warning. Dealing with the IRA, or ETA or FARC is very different from

:56:38.:56:41.

trying to deal with Islamist organisations like Al-Qaeda and

:56:42.:56:47.

Islamic State. The IRA had an agenda, which was moving towards a

:56:48.:56:50.

united Ireland, the British could negotiate on that, and we did, in

:56:51.:56:54.

the end we reached the Good Friday agreement. Go shading and talking to

:56:55.:57:00.

the so-called Islamic State, what do you talk about...? -- negotiating.

:57:01.:57:03.

Bias is the most ruthless, dangerous, formidable terrorist

:57:04.:57:07.

organisation that we have ever come across. -- IS. We have to deal with

:57:08.:57:11.

them on two fronts. One, persuading the Muslim community here to reject

:57:12.:57:22.

the ideology that IS stands for and also hitting them hard in their

:57:23.:57:28.

bases at home in Iraq and Syria stop what we are looking at your

:57:29.:57:31.

extensive work, where is this? This is in northern Iraq with the

:57:32.:57:34.

Peshmerga forces, who were going to try and take out an outpost of IS, a

:57:35.:57:41.

few hundred yards from where we were.

:57:42.:57:55.

-- What we are looking at your extensive work, where is this?

:57:56.:57:59.

The day before we went there, where I was, the person was killed by a

:58:00.:58:05.

sniper, and so... You never take it for granted that it is safe. It is

:58:06.:58:16.

risky, it is never that dangerous because you have a BBC mind, but we

:58:17.:58:18.

all have hostile environment training before we go. You are not

:58:19.:58:21.

prepared for the expected. That moment, in a report we saw, you met

:58:22.:58:24.

a young man, back in the day, 1970... 1974. 12-year-old boy, he

:58:25.:58:37.

was intent upon joining... Wanted to fight and die for Ireland. You meet

:58:38.:58:40.

of the things I remember, aged 12, wanting to fight and die for

:58:46.:58:49.

Ireland, when I tracked him down, which was not easy, in West Belfast,

:58:50.:58:54.

I was shocked at what I saw, when I knocked on the door. He said, you

him, 54, he looked 80, 90 years old, going on for 100. He is a victim as

:59:10.:59:15.

well, wee Sean, he became an alcoholic, his life was destroyed,

:59:16.:59:20.

his life was destroyed basically because he joined the IRA and went

:59:21.:59:24.

to jail, I met him in the maze prison when I did documentaries...

:59:25.:59:39.

His life was destroyed. Very moving. His remarks on the answer to my

:59:40.:59:42.

question, if I met you again at that stage, would you still want to join

:59:43.:59:46.

the IRA? He said, no. So sad. Thank you so much for joining us.

to try to persuade them to drop this Our Political Correspondent Matt

Cole is in our London studio. What could this mean

for negotiations? And what chance will Theresa May

:03:20.:03:30.

have of persuading them? One might imagine this will make it on to the

:03:31.:03:33.

final paper of the negotiating strategy of the EU. The EU 25 27 as

:03:34.:03:39.

they will be without Britain are very much saying from here on in,

:03:40.:03:42.

they'll look after their own and Spain is one of them.

:03:43.:03:53.

The caveat is whether the deal would extend to Gibraltar. We are hearing

:03:54.:04:01.

from sources that the answer to that is absolutely not. Theresa May will

:04:02.:04:06.

have her work cut out on this. The big problem that has emerged from

:04:07.:04:09.

the negotiating stat jitt outlined by the EU yesterday is the idea that

:04:10.:04:13.

the Brexit divorce talks will have to take place before new talks on a

:04:14.:04:17.

new trade relationship can take place. I think possibly that's a

:04:18.:04:20.

blow to the British Government who wanted to do them in parallel but

:04:21.:04:25.

possibly this could be why Spain are introducing this idea now because I

:04:26.:04:29.

think they would think if they can get this signed off now, it would

:04:30.:04:33.

put pressure on Britain ahead of the trade talks because Britain needs to

:04:34.:04:37.

get the trade talks up and running and therefore if things he held up

:04:38.:04:41.

by this Spanish question over Gibraltar, I think that Spain would

:04:42.:04:46.

hope that gives them leverage. It's a surprise, people thought Spain

:04:47.:04:49.

wouldn't bring this in, they certainly said they wouldn't but

:04:50.:04:52.

they have. It's a problem for the Brexit negotiating team to sort out.

payments as well. Much of that cost will be absorbed

:06:10.:06:11.

by the businesses themselves rather than passing it on in the form

:06:12.:06:14.

of hire prices. Controversial business rates

:06:15.:06:17.

is increasing the number of cycles funded by the health service

cycles are recommended. But local commissioning

groups decide, and in half the areas in England,

:07:55.:07:59.

only one cycle is offered. In Wales women under 40

:08:00.:08:02.

are entitled to two cycles. The IVF programme in Scotland

is expected to cost the NHS Money which has already

It's a rocky outpost at the South of Spain with a population of 30,000

:09:37.:09:39.

but it is already clear Gibraltar is likely to play a major role

:09:40.:09:44.

Yesterday, its government accused Spain which has disputed the UK's

:09:45.:09:49.

claim to the territory for 300 years of manipulating the European Council

:09:50.:09:52.

We're joined now by Gibraltar's chief minister Fabian Picardo.

:09:53.:10:01.

Thank you very much for your time this morning Mr Picardo. Can I get

:10:02.:10:10.

your reaction - a lot of people describe this as a surprise if not a

:10:11.:10:14.

shock that it was included within the EU's draft proposals - what was

:10:15.:10:18.

your initial reaction? Good morning. I think in Gibraltar, we did not

:10:19.:10:23.

expect to see Gibraltar singled out for discriminatory treatment in this

:10:24.:10:26.

way. Of course, there are going to be issues that Gibraltar needs to

:10:27.:10:29.

work won the United Kingdom and with Spain. Spain is our neighbour, it's

:10:30.:10:33.

going to be our access point into Schengen and the European Union, but

:10:34.:10:37.

to see ourselves singled out in a way that means that we cannot have

:10:38.:10:42.

the UK's new trade deal with the EU, such as it may be if one is done,

:10:43.:10:47.

without Spain's approval and say-so and perhaps seeking to extract a

:10:48.:10:52.

price is really quite disgraceful. Spain might have been expected to do

:10:53.:10:56.

this, but the European Council to have gone along with this, even

:10:57.:11:00.

putting it in a draft when Gibraltar is the place in Europe that was most

:11:01.:11:09.

pro-European Union, we voted 96% to stay in the UK, we might have

:11:10.:11:13.

expected this from Spain but not the European Council. It's up for

:11:14.:11:18.

discussion. The EU says that is one of the things, and that is the way

:11:19.:11:21.

they want to treat it. What would you have Theresa May do in advance

:11:22.:11:26.

of the actual talks starting? The European Council is saying this is a

:11:27.:11:29.

draft of the guidelines to go into the negotiation. This draft now has

:11:30.:11:34.

to be approved by all of the other member states to become the firm

:11:35.:11:39.

guidelines as at 29th April. I don't know whether the Maltese, the Irish,

:11:40.:11:44.

the Scandinavians, the Germans are going to go along with taking the

:11:45.:11:49.

30,000 people of Gibraltar and singling them out in the way this is

:11:50.:11:54.

proposed. In any event, it's the mandate to negotiate that's give

:11:55.:12:01.

tonne Mr Tusk and he then, or to Mr Barnier rather, and he arrives at

:12:02.:12:03.

the negotiation with the guidelines. When you arrive with a negotiation,

:12:04.:12:08.

you arrive with a list of achievements and you walk out

:12:09.:12:11.

achieving less than them. I think Theresa May is going to insist that

:12:12.:12:16.

the people of Gibraltar are not discriminated against, the Foreign

:12:17.:12:18.

Secretary who I spoke to yesterday said that he'd continue to be

:12:19.:12:22.

implacable and ruthless in the defence of the rights of the people

:12:23.:12:27.

of Gibraltar and I expect nothing else from Mrs May and her team. It

:12:28.:12:32.

sounds like you are satisfied with the assureties you have had from the

:12:33.:12:35.

British Government. Do you think the negotiations proper shouldn't start

:12:36.:12:39.

until Gibraltar is taken off the agenda? Well, look this is an issue

:12:40.:12:45.

which is being put on the agenda by the other side. We have no control

:12:46.:12:50.

what the other side talk about. You might similarly say let's not

:12:51.:12:59.

talking until the European take off the table any suggestion. One thing

:13:00.:13:05.

that people were putting to me after the referendum result was whether

:13:06.:13:08.

Spain might wait until there was a good agreement for the UK and at

:13:09.:13:12.

five minutes to Midnight raise the issue of Gibraltar then try to

:13:13.:13:16.

scumtering whole deal. Every cloud has a silver lining, Spain's played

:13:17.:13:21.

its card very early in this game, we can all now see them coming, it's

:13:22.:13:25.

time for people to stand up shoulder-to-shoulder with the people

:13:26.:13:29.

of Gibraltar and defend the interests of the 30,000 richest

:13:30.:13:33.

citizens that live in Gibraltar. Not sure what room you're in as we are

:13:34.:13:36.

talking to you, we can see the picture of the Queen and the flags

:13:37.:13:40.

behind you, but give us a sense of how raw emotions are over there?

:13:41.:13:44.

It's not my bedroom! This is the Office of the Chief Minister of

:13:45.:13:49.

Gibraltar where you'd expect to see those characteristics of what is the

:13:50.:13:53.

executive of a British territory. The British Government of Gibraltar

:13:54.:13:56.

is answerable of course to Her Majesty the Queen represented by a

:13:57.:14:01.

Government in Gibraltar. We feel passionately British and nothing is

:14:02.:14:03.

going to change us. We are not going to be a pawn. We want the culprits,

:14:04.:14:08.

because the European Union looks at Britain as though they are in an

:14:09.:14:12.

acrimonious divorce, we are the partner to the EU and we are the

:14:13.:14:17.

ones walking away, well Gibraltar wasn't responsible for that but we

:14:18.:14:19.

feel passionately British and nothing is going to change that.

:14:20.:14:23.

Thank you very much. I like the line about it not being your bedroom,

:14:24.:14:27.

very funny, we like that, thank you for your time. Glad he cleared that

:14:28.:14:33.

one up! I didn't think it was but, you know, now we know. Very smartly

:14:34.:14:37.

dressed in his bedroom in a suit and tie!

:14:38.:14:42.

Now to Tomas for the weekend weather.

:14:43.:14:49.

Good morning. Some of us are waking Up to this sort of weather. Lots of

:14:50.:14:53.

clear blue sky and fluffy fair weather cloud. Over the next few

:14:54.:14:57.

hours, we are going to see quite a change. The fluffy clouds will brew

:14:58.:15:03.

into something a little more dark and sinister, so we'll talk about

:15:04.:15:07.

the showers in a moment. There has been some rain around already across

:15:08.:15:10.

Wales and the north-west of England so it's not great everywhere, it's

:15:11.:15:14.

already raining and wet in some places and pretty grim. But we've

:15:15.:15:17.

got some sunshine in the forecast today but many of us will be

:15:18.:15:21.

catching the showers. The showers may bring thunder and light thing,

:15:22.:15:26.

hail too. The thinking is that early in the afternoon, say about lunch

:15:27.:15:30.

time, it's more western parts of the UK that'll get the heavier showers.

:15:31.:15:34.

South-western England through the West Country into Wales, the

:15:35.:15:38.

north-west here, Northern Ireland and most of Scotland.

:15:39.:15:49.

Later in the afternoon, showers in the east, perhaps some thunder too.

:15:50.:15:59.

Some of us will dodge the showers completely and will be wondering

:16:00.:16:02.

where are they. The night will be clear. Chilly with frost around,

:16:03.:16:10.

particularly across northern areas. Mostly grass frost. Tomorrow a

:16:11.:16:15.

different day. No showers. This high that is going to build from the

:16:16.:16:19.

south is going to stop the showers from forming. That is quite often

:16:20.:16:23.

what high pressures do, they put a lid on things. We then get a fine,

:16:24.:16:28.

clear day. Maybe just a few scattered clouds tomorrow, harmless

:16:29.:16:32.

ones. 16 or 17 in London, 13 for most though and some of the coastal

:16:33.:16:36.

areas a little fresher. Two very different days this weekend. A bit

:16:37.:16:39.

of sunshine, a bit of rain and sunshine and a bit of rain again.

:16:40.:16:44.

That's today. We'll call that April showers. A chilly night. Then

:16:45.:16:48.

tomorrow should be sunny from dawn until dusk.

:16:49.:17:00.

Patients referred to the NHS for fertility treatment in Scotland

:17:01.:17:03.

will be eligible for three full cycles of IVF treatment.

:17:04.:17:06.

From today, the Scottish government is increasing the number of cycles

:17:07.:17:11.

funded by the health service for women under 40

:17:12.:17:13.

Charles Kingsland is Professor of Reproductive Medicine

:17:14.:17:21.

Thank you for coming in. This sounds generous, three cycles for women

:17:22.:17:32.

under 40? It is. The first IVF baby was born in the National Health

:17:33.:17:35.

Service up the road in old ham of course. When the baby was born,

:17:36.:17:40.

there was such a public outcry about babies being born In test-tubes

:17:41.:17:45.

within the NHS, society wasn't really quite ready for those

:17:46.:17:51.

technological advances. IVF went underground and the NHS rejected it

:17:52.:17:56.

and the treatment went into the private sector. It grew up in the

:17:57.:18:02.

private sector. Over the past generation, various commissioning

:18:03.:18:06.

bodies have drawn IVF treatment back into the NHS and now of course it's

:18:07.:18:11.

a successful treatment. But some areas have been more successful than

:18:12.:18:18.

others and this is what's led to the postcode lottery where depending on

:18:19.:18:23.

where you live you have varying access to criteria. Now the

:18:24.:18:27.

Government guidelines have been followed and patients are allowed to

:18:28.:18:30.

have three cycles which is great for Scotland. You talk about varying

:18:31.:18:37.

degrees of access. In some places there is no individual access at

:18:38.:18:42.

all? That's right. IVF is very high profile as a subject. Sad

:18:43.:18:49.

beginnings, happy endings, damsels in disit's, wicked scientists, nasty

:18:50.:18:55.

doctors, it's a Harry Potter story. But you can live on one side of the

:18:56.:19:01.

road where you have access to funding, the other side of the road

:19:02.:19:04.

won't. In Croydon they have withdrawn funding recently. If you

:19:05.:19:08.

have a fertility problem which can be a devastating effect not just on

:19:09.:19:12.

your general health but on your whole life, you may not get access.

:19:13.:19:17.

So in parts of London, there is no NHS funding. Now in Scotland,

:19:18.:19:23.

provided you fulfil the criteria which are laid down, but there again

:19:24.:19:26.

you could say it's biassed towards women over the age of 40 because if

:19:27.:19:31.

you are under 40 you get three sickles but when you are over 40 you

:19:32.:19:34.

only get one arbitrarily. So it's not a question of being fair, what

:19:35.:19:40.

people need is the knowledge to know that it's equally unfair to

:19:41.:19:46.

everybody. So in Scotland, great, in Croydon, not so good. Statistically,

:19:47.:19:54.

if you look back 20 years, how much has IVF improved? Three cycles of

:19:55.:19:59.

IVF, are you likely to know after one cycle whether it's going to

:20:00.:20:03.

eventually be successful? Yes. When I first started many years ago it

:20:04.:20:08.

was a bit of a lottery. There were so many variables, the technology

:20:09.:20:14.

was in its early stages. Nowadays, it's far more successful. You can

:20:15.:20:19.

actually predict with a reasonable degree of certainty who is going to

:20:20.:20:26.

get pregnant. It's unusual nowadays to see couples who you think should

:20:27.:20:32.

have got pregnant but didn't. Not getting pregnant with IVF is far

:20:33.:20:37.

more predictable, as is pregnancy. No conversation about health care is

:20:38.:20:40.

complete without the financial picture, so in Scotland they've put

:20:41.:20:45.

a costing on this haven't they? Yes. It's a ?1 million figure. Wa would

:20:46.:20:50.

be the equivalent if you apply to it the rest of the UK, because that

:20:51.:20:55.

doesn't sound relative to other costs in the NHS a huge sum of

:20:56.:21:00.

money? It's not. IVF relatively speaking is cheap. It's not that

:21:01.:21:04.

expensive compared with other treatments. But there is this stigma

:21:05.:21:10.

about fertility which, is it a disorder, a disease, should we

:21:11.:21:15.

compare it with dementia and mental illness, these are the conversations

:21:16.:21:18.

that have to take place daily in commissioning groups, where do we

:21:19.:21:22.

put the money. It's only when you want to have a child and you can't

:21:23.:21:27.

and you can't get accessibility, you realise what a devastating effect

:21:28.:21:32.

infertility can have. What are the options for people who live

:21:33.:21:36.

somewhere where there is no funding? You need to get the right

:21:37.:21:39.

information from your commissioning authority. There's a lot of

:21:40.:21:44.

misconceptions about who does and doesn't get treatment. The

:21:45.:21:46.

commissioning authorities will know exactly. If you can't get treatment

:21:47.:21:50.

within the National Health Service, you then have to resort to funding

:21:51.:21:54.

the treatment yourself. That can be a lottery so it's important to get

:21:55.:21:58.

the right advice at the right time from somebody who you trust.

:21:59.:22:02.

Professor, thank you very much. Thank you.

:22:03.:22:05.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:22:06.:22:13.

City commentator Justin Urqhart-Stewart is here to tell us

:22:14.:22:16.

What have you got from the newspapers this morning? House

:22:17.:22:27.

obsession. And Nationwide is reporting the first fall for nearly

:22:28.:22:31.

two years. It's only a month before so it puts it into perspective. The

:22:32.:22:39.

average price of a home in the UK, ?207 News, gone up significantly.

:22:40.:22:45.

Just a small fall. The south still strong. Northern Ireland saw a

:22:46.:22:48.

slight increase. It was the only part of the UK which had a crash in

:22:49.:22:56.

2008. -- ?207,000. This little graph, it has some huge rises in it?

:22:57.:23:01.

Monthly changes, yes. They are going up. But it's a strange level they

:23:02.:23:07.

have on here. What looks like dramatic falls are 2.3% and the

:23:08.:23:12.

rises, so it's over-emphasising it but it's basically seeing something

:23:13.:23:16.

that's slowly slowing down. Really we are seeing the ownership rates

:23:17.:23:21.

coming down. Hardly surprising, 35-44, that was at 74%, now down to

:23:22.:23:27.

56%. We were talking about landlords earlier, many more people are

:23:28.:23:32.

Rennesing not buying? The figures there, they say that, it was only

:23:33.:23:36.

12% used to rent ten years ago, now 20%. South-east England people can't

:23:37.:23:40.

afford properties. That is a big change. The next story, snack

:23:41.:23:46.

machines? Yes, you can go to a snack machine because you want that

:23:47.:23:49.

chocolate bar. Yes, it's in the window calling you. Yes, I've got to

:23:50.:23:53.

have it now. I love people doing research. Here is a good use of an

:23:54.:23:57.

expert. It's established if you had to wait 25 seconds and there are

:23:58.:24:02.

other things in that snack machine rather than chocolate, you would

:24:03.:24:06.

have a healthy snack, your brain would start criticising you and

:24:07.:24:10.

thinking, maybe I should have the chocolate one, maybe I should have

:24:11.:24:19.

the healthy one. So it's the delay? The delay changes your mind. So do

:24:20.:24:24.

you think there should be - if you knew in advance there was a longer

:24:25.:24:28.

delay for the delivery of the clunk, if you knew it was going to take

:24:29.:24:32.

longer, you would think... Yes. I don't think that would work. I think

:24:33.:24:36.

if you were just standing there - we have been in that situation where

:24:37.:24:39.

you look at the vending machines and there are rows of chocolate bars and

:24:40.:24:43.

they are trying to make them a litling healthier now and you see

:24:44.:24:47.

one little lonely green apple which looks sad. It's been been there for

:24:48.:24:52.

months and it's never going to match up to the chocolate. You could gear

:24:53.:24:58.

it wrongly so that every time no matter what you punch in you still

:24:59.:25:02.

get something healthy but that would be really annoying. I like your

:25:03.:25:06.

thinking. Your next story is in the Daily Mail. It is. This one is, we

:25:07.:25:13.

all must have seen this from the 1955 film of the Dambusters. There

:25:14.:25:17.

we are, there is the Professor looking at the Bouncing Bomb in

:25:18.:25:21.

Herne Bay and the bomb falls apart. This is before the Dambusters raid.

:25:22.:25:26.

Lo and behold, I thought this being April 1st this was a spook. Yes, I

:25:27.:25:31.

was a little worried. But it's true, they have found part of the Bouncing

:25:32.:25:35.

Bomb, presumably one that didn't explode, presumably a testing one

:25:36.:25:39.

that fell apart. It's so heavy they can't move it. It might end up being

:25:40.:25:43.

a piece of art, which considering the other pieces of art I've seen

:25:44.:25:47.

recently, that looks impressive. There is a picture next to it of the

:25:48.:25:53.

original bomb. A captured one. Not sure how you capture a bomb! With a

:25:54.:25:57.

German fellow standing next to it. These things were absolutely huge.

:25:58.:26:01.

Almost like a seeingn't of it. ? Yes, just one end of it there. It's

:26:02.:26:08.

almost the height of an individual. Very brave standing there or

:26:09.:26:11.

foolish. It's already dropped by now. We are going towards the

:26:12.:26:19.

territory now where people might be thinking it's 1st April and what is

:26:20.:26:22.

what? I was waiting to be caught out. Surely this is true though, the

:26:23.:26:27.

winner by a short head phone, personal stereos for Grand National

:26:28.:26:30.

horses. That's what you need. When you are betting on the Grand

:26:31.:26:33.

National, look for the ones which have their own head phones on. Head

:26:34.:26:39.

phones? Yes. A nice picture of a horse with a hood on with its head

:26:40.:26:44.

phones and presumably with its iPad or other items. So horse play list,

:26:45.:26:51.

trot in the city by Billy idol, you better you bet by the Who and we are

:26:52.:26:59.

the Bob champions. I like that one! My favourite story is your last

:27:00.:27:03.

story of the day, this one in the Guardian? Yes. My goodness, George

:27:04.:27:08.

Osborne is a busy man. You can edit a paper, be paid huge amounts of

:27:09.:27:14.

money in the City for one day a week, but no, actually, you can have

:27:15.:27:26.

your own fashion designer job, Giorgio by Giorgio! There he is.

:27:27.:27:33.

It's not a line of designer fashion. What? ! Are you saying this isn't

:27:34.:27:37.

true? ! LAUGHTER.

:27:38.:27:42.

A new fashion design of hi-viz vacts. Jackets. We are on BBC One

:27:43.:27:54.

until 10 this morning when John Torode takes his place in the

:27:55.:28:00.

Saturday Kitchen. We have an extraordinary guest, singer song

:28:01.:28:03.

writer Amy McDonald, can you believing it, she's here on Saturday

:28:04.:28:08.

Kitchen, to face your food heaven and hell? Yes, I'm scared. Your idea

:28:09.:28:13.

of heaven? Prawns, chicken, something like that. What about

:28:14.:28:18.

hell? Hell would be rabbit. I'm with you on that! Not for me. I'm going

:28:19.:28:24.

to have to cook it as well so it would be more hellish. We are split

:28:25.:28:29.

down the middle. The two chefs seem to have their own opinion. Making

:28:30.:28:34.

his debut, Tommy Banks is with us. What are you cooking? Scallops with

:28:35.:28:39.

Yorkshire rhubarb. Interesting. Good. Why not? Ben Tish how about

:28:40.:28:48.

you? Classic roast chicken, Sunday lunch roast chicken cooked over a

:28:49.:28:52.

piece of bread with wild garlic mayonnaise. Even if you get your

:28:53.:28:58.

hell, Amy, you are going to eat well. Everyone's going to have great

:28:59.:29:02.

food and eat all sorts of lovely things! Like that, John, see you

:29:03.:29:07.

later. Coming up, four men, 3,000 miles,

memory of one of their brothers driving them on. We'll meet the four

:29:12.:29:17.

friends who raised a record amount of Munroing across the Atlantic.

:29:18.:29:18.

That is coming up before Hello this is Breakfast, with

:29:19.:30:00.

Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. Coming up before ten, all of the

:30:01.:30:05.

weather, but first, coming up to 9:30am, a summary of this morning's

:30:06.:30:06.

main news: Tensions are rising over

:30:07.:30:15.

Gilbraltar's position during Brexit, after the EU gave Spain a potential

:30:16.:30:17.

veto on any future deal The enclave's administration

:30:18.:30:20.

accused Spain of trying to manipulate

:30:21.:30:22.

the discussions, in order to further Last night, the Foreign Secretary,

:30:23.:30:24.

Boris Johnson, said the government would be "implacable and rock-like"

:30:25.:30:28.

in its support for Gibraltar earlier, the territory's Chief

:30:29.:30:30.

minister told breakfast why it is going to be a

:30:31.:30:49.

crucial few months. We can be very tough indeed you're in negotiation

:30:50.:30:52.

and one of the things put to me after the referendum was whether

:30:53.:30:54.

Spain would wait until there was a good agreement with the United

:30:55.:30:57.

Kingdom and then raise the issue of Gibraltar and that would scupper the

:30:58.:30:59.

whole deal. Every is cloud has a silver lining, Spain has played its

:31:00.:31:02.

card very early, we can all now see them coming, it is time for people

:31:03.:31:05.

to stand up shoulder to shoulder with the people of Gibraltar and

:31:06.:31:08.

defend the interests of the 30,000 British citizens that live in

:31:09.:31:09.

Gibraltar. Two million people are set

:31:10.:31:12.

for a pay rise today, as the national living wage goes

:31:13.:31:19.

up to ?7.50 an hour. The change has been broadly

:31:20.:31:22.

welcomed by unions. But there've been calls

:31:23.:31:24.

from campaigners for the rate to be higher to meet the true cost

:31:25.:31:27.

of living, while employers have expressed

:31:28.:31:29.

concern about the strain Around 4,000 households in England

:31:30.:31:31.

earning more than ?100,000 a year have received taxpayers' money

:31:32.:31:37.

to help them buy a home. Official figures also reveal

:31:38.:31:40.

that the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme has assisted more than 20,000

moves to allow President Cartes The demonstrations were triggered

by a Senate vote behind closed doors to change the constitution,

ending the one term limit. Campaigners say Paraguay's

:32:28.:32:30.

democracy is under threat. Two women have died and more people

:32:31.:32:38.

are feared to have drowned as two Australian states are hit by floods

:32:39.:32:40.

in the wake of Cyclone Debbie. Officials said that swollen rivers

:32:41.:32:42.

continued to threaten tens of thousands of people living near

:32:43.:32:44.

major rivers in Queensland and New South Wales. The Prime Minister,

:32:45.:32:46.

Malcolm Turnbull, urged people to be vigilant and not to take risks.

Bob Dylan will finally accept his Nobel Prize

:32:50.:32:51.

The American singer won the award in October but failed

:32:52.:32:54.

to travel to pick it up, or deliver the lecture

:32:55.:32:57.

that is required to receive the prize fund of around ?700,000.

If he doesn't fulfil the conditions by June, he will have

Do you think that you have been full? You have said all sorts of

:33:03.:33:26.

strange things this morning, perhaps...? LAUGHTER

:33:27.:33:30.

And it's 60 years since television viewers first saw this.

:33:31.:33:33.

The past winter, one of the mildest in living memory,

:33:34.:33:35.

has had its effect in other ways as well, it has resulted

:33:36.:33:38.

in an especially heavy spaghetti harvest.

:33:39.:33:39.

This is Panorama's famous Spaghetti tree report.

:33:40.:33:41.

The three minute broadcast was watched by eight million people.

:33:42.:33:44.

Unfortunately some viewers failed to see the funny side,

:33:45.:33:46.

but others were so intrigued, they contacted the BBC to ask

:33:47.:33:48.

where they could purchase their very own tree.

:33:49.:34:02.

The more effort that goes into them, the more that you get back. Pinch,

:34:03.:34:13.

punch, first day of the month, white rabbits, no returns, if you don't

:34:14.:34:16.

say, no returns, then you can get the person back! A very confident

tennis player here. Johanna Konta, final of the Miami open, big day for

:34:20.:34:24.

her, fingers crossed, if she wins it, biggest title of her career. She

is to look to enjoy It's a great tournament to be a part

of to the very end. Not easy to get opportunities

:35:08.:35:23.

like this, I play against tough

:35:24.:35:30.

opponents, someone who has been around the top

:35:31.:35:32.

of the game for so long. Overall, good enjoyment for

:35:33.:35:38.

the challenges, and it will come. It's perhaps no great surprise

:35:39.:35:46.

after his ongoing injury problems. Tiger Woods has pulled out of Golf's

:35:47.:35:48.

first major of the year, He said he's just not "tournament

:35:49.:35:51.

ready" due to his troublesome back, and that there's no timetable

:35:52.:35:55.

for his return. He was sidelined for 15 months after

:35:56.:35:57.

two surgeries to try and fix it. The 14-time major winner

:35:58.:36:01.

won his first major Better news for

:36:02.:36:03.

Britain's Charley Hull. She's three shots off the lead

:36:04.:36:06.

at the halfway stage of the first women's major

:36:07.:36:08.

of the year in California. She finished off her first

:36:09.:36:10.

round with this birdie at the 18th. No hanging around though,

she immediately started her second round following delays

Celtic from being crowned Scottish Premiership champions last

would have been Celtic's, It was partly down to this guy

Andrew Considine who Not often you see a defender

:36:27.:36:28.

score a hat trick. A win for Celtic against Hearts

:36:29.:36:32.

on Sunday will clinch the title. Teams always raise their performance

:36:33.:36:44.

for for big derby matches. It helps then to have your

:36:45.:36:57.

best players available. No such luck for Liverpool today

:36:58.:36:59.

who are missing the key duo of Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana

:37:00.:37:02.

for the Merseyside derby Let's hear from both managers,

:37:03.:37:04.

firstly Jurgen Klopp who's been impressed with his opposite number

:37:05.:37:08.

Ronald Koeman. They have had a really good run,

:37:09.:37:10.

they have not lost a lot of games But, we are Liverpool,

:37:11.:37:13.

we play at Anfield, and no one should underestimate

:37:14.:37:19.

the power of Anfield. we all have to create

:37:20.:37:20.

a special atmosphere. It is a new season, it is a new

:37:21.:37:26.

game, a new manager at Everton. I heard a little bit about the last

:37:27.:37:30.

two seasons of Everton, that maybe they were too afraid

:37:31.:37:34.

to play against Liverpool. Why do you need to be afraid

:37:35.:37:36.

to play against Liverpool? At the top, can anyone stop

:37:37.:37:39.

league leaders Chelsea? but they can extend that

:37:40.:38:10.

when they play Crystal Palace. And there's another Derby

:38:11.:38:17.

at teatime, the south coast Derby, or the "El Classi-coast"

:38:18.:38:21.

as it's being dubbed. Southampton taking on Bournemouth

:38:22.:38:23.

are neck and neck in We just heard from manager

:38:24.:38:25.

Ronald Koeman there who witnessed his defender Seamus Coleman suffer

:38:26.:38:29.

a really nasty injury whilst playing for his country the Republic

:38:30.:38:31.

of Ireland against Wales And now he's at the centre of a row

:38:32.:38:33.

after accusing the national coach Martin O'Neill of not

:38:34.:38:38.

protecting his player whilst he was away from his club side

:38:39.:38:40.

on International duty. But O'Neill's responded calling

:38:41.:38:42.

the Everton manager a "master Ronald Koeman is unhappy that his

:38:43.:38:47.

player is now unavailable for the rest of the season.

:38:48.:38:51.

Derby County have kept their slim hopes of a playoff place

:38:52.:38:53.

alive with victory over Queens Park Rangers

:38:54.:38:55.

Manager Gary Rowett marked his first home game

:38:56.:38:58.

Matej Vydra scored the only goal of the game in the second

:38:59.:39:02.

half and Derby are now six points off sixth placed

:39:03.:39:04.

In Superleague, Castleford Tigers remain top on points difference

:39:05.:39:14.

after they thrashed Huddersfield 52-16. Leeds Rhinos have moved up to

:39:15.:39:19.

second with a 26-18 victory over Wigan. Leeds were only two points

:39:20.:39:21.

ahead at half time, but ran in two tries in the second half to pull

:39:22.:39:24.

clear - Carl Ablett with the final try. That's their fourth win in a

:39:25.:39:27.

row. All eyes on Miami. Several hours of tennis watching ahead. 6pm,

:39:28.:39:31.

British time, it gets under way. Gearing up for the match against

:39:32.:39:35.

Caroline Wozniacki. We will talk a little more about that now. Johanna

:39:36.:39:41.

Konta has become the first British woman to play in the final of the

:39:42.:39:48.

Miami open tennis tournament. Can she win it? We will talk to a woman

:39:49.:39:51.

who can predict whether she will not, the former British number one.

:39:52.:39:55.

Jo Durie Let's start with the obvious one, can she do it? I think

:39:56.:39:59.

she can do it, but I think Caroline Wozniacki is going

:40:00.:40:00.

to be a little bit different from the last match in Australia where

:40:01.:40:08.

Johanna Konta won very easily, this time she will be far tougher. Talk

:40:09.:40:12.

to us about what you see in your Hannah Conser, because do those of

:40:13.:40:16.

us who watch, she seems like a confidence player, she has a style,

:40:17.:40:22.

she puts it out on the call, talk us through what her game has? Look at

:40:23.:40:39.

the top ten. Look at Jo Konta, she has turned herself around with the

:40:40.:40:43.

mental approach, steady as a rock, consistent with that, it has helped

:40:44.:40:48.

her game. She has a natural, good first serve, gets a lot in, she has

:40:49.:40:56.

improved her forehand. She works really hard. And she is totally

:40:57.:41:04.

changing herself. Interesting to hear you talk about this and how

:41:05.:41:07.

mentally she has changed herself, in practical terms, what does that

:41:08.:41:11.

mean, what has she done? She has found a way of processing how she

:41:12.:41:16.

goes about playing her matches. She is literally playing one point at a

:41:17.:41:21.

time, not dwelling on anything that goes wrong, she is always looking to

:41:22.:41:25.

the next point in a positive manner. She has managed to block everything

:41:26.:41:30.

out and get on with being in the present, which is a pretty amazing

:41:31.:41:36.

quality. She has beaten Venus Williams to get to the final, I know

:41:37.:41:43.

that people say that Venus Williams is not the player she was but in a

:41:44.:41:46.

major tournament, in that situation, a Williams sister is always a

:41:47.:41:48.

formidable opponent, psychologically, is that another

:41:49.:41:52.

marker? I think she quite slight playing her, she has beaten three

:41:53.:41:55.

times, she has been playing very well this year. The Williams sisters

:41:56.:42:01.

getting to the final of the stadium, nobody thought that would happen.

:42:02.:42:05.

That was a very tricky match. And then Simona Halep, one sets down,

:42:06.:42:13.

had not served for the match as well, again, her strong mental

:42:14.:42:15.

approach brought her throat. Exciting times. Could be potentially

:42:16.:42:20.

a hugely exciting year, she has got to a level where she has raised her

:42:21.:42:24.

game, what does it take for her to step up to the very top, to get into

:42:25.:42:30.

the top five, top three? I think that she just has too keep that

:42:31.:42:36.

strong mental approach, her forehand has improved enough, she may be able

:42:37.:42:44.

to improve it a touch more. Really, week after week. Now she feels

:42:45.:42:46.

comfortable being in that sort of top ten mix, looking for the top

:42:47.:42:51.

five, and you can even see in her interview, more relaxed about being

:42:52.:42:54.

there, and being in the company of these players. You get used to it,

:42:55.:42:59.

she will get more and more used to it. Wimbledon will be interesting,

:43:00.:43:03.

she can do well there, the clay will be tricky, her least favourite

:43:04.:43:08.

surface. At the moment I don't think any of those top players want to

:43:09.:43:18.

play her. Funny old world, lots of things change, something stay the

:43:19.:43:20.

same, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer, what is that about? That was a great

:43:21.:43:23.

match between Nick Kyrgios and Roger Federer, I stayed up a bit too late

:43:24.:43:29.

watching it! Isn't it... All the over 30 somethings doing well,

:43:30.:43:33.

players maturing later in their careers. Coping with everything a

:43:34.:43:39.

little bit better. Great to hear, I love what Joe just said, this could

:43:40.:43:45.

be an important Wimbledon for Johanna Konta, I wonder what that

:43:46.:43:50.

could mean. -- Jo. I also like the idea that good tennis players are

then a mile either way, the sunshine beating down. A real mixed bag on

Showers will get going in the next couple of hours or so, starting to

hail, some of us will miss it all together, some of us will be

:45:21.:45:23.

expecting the rain and it will not come. Real mishmash of everything.

:45:24.:45:28.

We get it, we are in April, these are April showers, this is what

:45:29.:45:33.

happens this time of the year when we get strong sunshine, staring up

:45:34.:45:36.

the air, the clouds bubble up and we get this ex of weather. Showers will

eventually clear a way through the evening, the sun is driving them,

over until the last stone. 39 days, four hours, 14 minutes,

:49:40.:49:56.

that is how long it took a group of four friends to row across the

:49:57.:49:59.

Atlantic Ocean. Their aim was to raise funds for James' Place - a

:50:00.:50:02.

centre for men dealing with anxiety and depression. It was named in

:50:03.:50:05.

memory of the brother of one of the crew who killed himself ten years

:50:06.:50:07.

ago. We'll speak to Harry, his mum and the rest of the rowing team but

:50:08.:50:10.

first here's the story of their journey.

:50:11.:50:17.

VOICEOVER: Relief, delight, exhaustion, tears. A mix of emotions

:50:18.:50:26.

like no other. Following a journey like no other. Before setting off on

:50:27.:50:33.

the 3000 mile unaided row across the Atlantic, Rory, Toby, Sam and Harry

:50:34.:50:39.

explained why they were doing it. Ten years ago, my brother James

:50:40.:50:43.

passed away, he took his own life. I have always wanted to do something

:50:44.:50:48.

in his memory. Along came the challenge of running the Atlantic.

:50:49.:50:52.

The journey from the Canary Islands to Antigua took just over 39 days,

:50:53.:50:59.

there there were runners -- they were runners-up in the race, they

:51:00.:51:03.

raised it record amount by a transatlantic rowing team, more than

:51:04.:51:05.

half ?1 million, which will fund a centre for men confronting anxiety,

:51:06.:51:10.

depression and suicide. The messages we got from people saying that they

:51:11.:51:16.

had managed to overcome some sort of depression or issues like that,

:51:17.:51:20.

pushing out this message. James' mum and brother, Clare and

:51:21.:51:35.

Harry and friends Rory, Sam and Toby are here. Very good morning. Can I

:51:36.:51:37.

just checked, how we are, aches and pains, saws,

:51:38.:51:43.

have they all gone away? -- can I just check, how you are? -- sores.

:51:44.:51:52.

It is one of the toughest sporting challenges in the world, more people

:51:53.:51:57.

have climbed Everest. More people have gone into space! Quite

:51:58.:52:03.

outstanding. You must be very proud. Where were you, when the challenge

:52:04.:52:08.

was taking place. I was attached to my phone, looking at the app,

:52:09.:52:13.

following every single move. Once they had gone it was better, it was

:52:14.:52:18.

the anxiety leading up to their departure that was fairly intense.

:52:19.:52:26.

All challenges are emotional, physical for you, as a mother, very

:52:27.:52:28.

emotional, I should imagine, mixed emotions, supporting these young

:52:29.:52:35.

men, and thinking about your son. Yes, when Harry broached the

:52:36.:52:39.

subject, 18 months ago, I said, you know something, forget it, that's

:52:40.:52:43.

not happening. But the boys won me round. I gave my wholehearted

:52:44.:52:50.

support. I know that it was absolutely for the right calls and

:52:51.:52:57.

the right thing. James's memory. I put myself behind it, it was the

:52:58.:52:59.

most incredible moment of my life, when they came in. Also, you talk

:53:00.:53:05.

about raising money, raising money for very specific thing, for a

:53:06.:53:15.

sanctuary, a place for people to go to and get help, what is that, how

:53:16.:53:18.

will it work? When James died, ten years ago, he went looking for help,

:53:19.:53:21.

in the days leading up to his death, and he did not get the help he

:53:22.:53:26.

needed. He was sent to Accident and Emergency and was told to sit and

:53:27.:53:30.

wait, that is the wrong environment. I have always been thinking, what

:53:31.:53:34.

would have made the difference, what might have saved his life? I feel

:53:35.:53:38.

that a quiet, calm, peaceful, nurturing environment where men can

:53:39.:53:42.

feel comfortable and they would be judged, there will be looked after,

:53:43.:53:49.

that is the right plan. Very keen that we don't ignore the guys at the

:53:50.:53:52.

back of the boat as well! Sam, Rory, how are you! Tell us, this place,

:53:53.:54:03.

that you are talking about, there is a big issue around young men,

:54:04.:54:06.

particularly, not talking about their emotions and issues around

:54:07.:54:08.

mental health, must be at the forefront of your mind is doing the

:54:09.:54:11.

challenge. Very much so, we are four men in that moment of our lives

:54:12.:54:22.

where we may be at risk. Unfortunately, it is an issue that

:54:23.:54:25.

affects so many young guys, and we feel that we have tried to kick the

:54:26.:54:28.

stigma as much as we can, but there is a long way to go. A lot of times,

:54:29.:54:31.

after a huge trauma, people want to do something practical, you want to

:54:32.:54:34.

do something to help, you have done something really concrete. Does that

:54:35.:54:41.

bring some comfort? Does that bring reassurance? From my point of view,

:54:42.:54:47.

what is incredible about the campaign was that they raised the

:54:48.:54:53.

stigma surrounding mental health issues in particular suicide. --

:54:54.:55:01.

they erased the stigma. The following they had was all about

:55:02.:55:06.

what they were doing. There was nothing dark, no sadness surrounding

:55:07.:55:10.

it, it was really positive. I think we want to take that forward to

:55:11.:55:14.

James's place is a very positive thing. We have interviewed a few

:55:15.:55:19.

people that have done daft adventures in the past and often

:55:20.:55:28.

they get back in the first thing they do is start planning the next

:55:29.:55:31.

one, is anything going on, have you done your bit? For now, I think,

:55:32.:55:34.

yes, for the time being. We would all like to do something at some

:55:35.:55:36.

point in the future, but we couldn't try to replicate what we have just

:55:37.:55:42.

done. More than just the rowing, it was an emotional journey as well,

:55:43.:55:47.

with the charity in mind, and James at the front of our minds, and so to

:55:48.:55:51.

go out and try to do something again, it would need to be

:55:52.:55:54.

different. We would like to do something in the future. Lovely to

:55:55.:55:59.

see you all here today, congratulations. Thank you very much

:56:00.:56:00.

indeed, well done. You might remember The Crystal Maze,

:56:01.:56:05.
