04/04/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

Russian investigators are thought to have identified

the man suspected of killing 11 people in the St Petersbourg

Reports say the person behind the bomb is in his early 20's

three days of mourning for the victims have been declared.

A re-vamp of the government's campaign to help tens of thousands

of troubled families - Ministers say they want to help

struggling children by giving their parents more support.

Returning to the honeymoon island where his wife Michaela was murdered

six years ago, John McAreavey tells us about the challenges

My deepest, darkest fears and nightmares actually came into

reality here. So whenever you're actually physically back here,, you

know, it's not easy. Nearly ?30m has been slashed

from bus services in the last year, with more than 500

routes cut or cancelled. But could new rules on how bus

companies and councils work together In sport - he's apologised,

but Sunderland boss David Moyes will be asked by the Football

Association to explain himself after telling a BBC reporter

she might "get a slap". # When I get old and losing my head,

many years from now. 50 years on from the release

of the album which brought us that song - we've a snapshot

of what life's like - It depends on the actual individual

person how you look after your body, how you look after yourself.

Good morning. It is a cloudy start at the gate -- day across England

and Wales will stop it will brighten up in the north later. For Scotland

and Northern Ireland, a fresh start. A lot of showers in the far north

and strengthening wind as well. I will more in 15 minutes.

Russian media is reporting that the man suspected of killing 11

people on a St Petersburg train is in his early 20s

At least 45 people were injured in the explosion between two

underground stations on Monday afternoon.

In Russia's second city, a show of grief and solidarity.

President Vladimir Putin was in St Petersburg at the time

Above the station where the bombed train ended its journey,

he paid his respects to those killed and injured on Monday afternoon.

From underground, images have emerged of the mangled Metro train -

doors blown out, passengers trying to escape the wreckage,

Local media are reporting that the suspect is a man in his 20s

from Central Asia but there are conflicting reports

as to whether he was a suicide bomber.

TRANSLATION: Law enforcement bodies and specia lservices are working

and will do all they can in order to find out the cause

At a nearby station, a second explosive device

Security has been tightened across the country.

Officials say this was an act of terror.

Yet, at this makeshift memorial, Russians remained

TRANSLATION: I am certain that we Russians will not be divided.

At this precise moment, all people of all faiths,

all religions, and all political borders, everone is united by grief.

In recent years there have been several attacks on Russia's planes,

Once again, ordinary Russians are asking how and why their loved ones

were killed. Let's speak now to our Moscow

correspondent Oleg Boldyrev from our Moscow

studio this morning. A ?30 million commitment to get

unemployed parents of disadvantaged children into work -

will form part of the Troubled There'll be strong links between job

centres and families Ministers in England want to give

children better life chances but the government has been

criticised for freezing benefits. It was after the London riots of

2011 that David Cameron introduced the Troubled Families programme. The

new government research shows the impact that parental conflict and

worthlessness have on children's chances of doing well throughout

their adult lives. -- worklessness retrieval stopped Allah know whether

you are living or not living together, married or unmarried, the

key is parents should maintain a good relationship. That is the key

to the future success of their children. The ?30 million invested

will go towards tried to resolve issues that can cause conflict in

relationships. Unemployment, along with mental health. Also drug and

alcohol dependency and homelessness. At this family Centre, it's welcome

news. Early intervention is about avoiding escalated situation is

further down the line. We believe it is very good value for money in

terms of avoiding future problems. Others have criticised the scheme

for being ineffective and antipoverty campaigners say it pales

into insignificance when compared to the amount of money millions of

families are missing out on duty changes in benefit payments.

Aleksandra McKenzie, BBC News. A group of MPs has accused

the government of making "unsubstantiated claims"

about the potential impact of failing to reach

a Brexit deal with the EU. Our political correspondent Ellie

Price is in Westminster for us. Ellie, what exactly

does this report say? Well, the main point is that

Parliament must have say if no deal is reached at the end of the

two-year negotiations and that the government must do more to

investigate what would happen if no deal was reached at the end of those

negotiations. Here is what the committee chairman had to say. In

the absence of an economic assessment of that outcome, it would

mean a return to tariffs, possible delays of imports, impact of trade

between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and without the

government setting out what mitigating steps it would put in

place, the assertion that no deal is better than a bad deal is, in the

words of the report, unsubstantiated. Now, the government

says it is investigating all outcomes and that it does expect to

get get a deal. There is another interesting bit to this report as

well. This is a Brexit committee that is made up of cross party

members, all sorts of members, meant to come to an agreement of all

members. What we saw is an number of the probe except backing MPs walked

out of the meeting with a draft of the guidelines of this report. It

was rushed, partisan and skews -- skewed and it was too pessimistic

about wrecks it. It matters because these select committees are meant to

be holding the government to account -- Brexit. It damages their

credibility otherwise. Theresa May has defended her trip

to Saudi Arabia saying close ties are needed with the kingdom for both

security and trade reasons. The Prime Minister arrives in Riyadh

later after visiting the King of Jordan

in Amman on Monday. Labour has criticised the UK's

support for the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen but Mrs May said

the government was also a significant donor of humanitarian

aid to the country. Iraqi forces have opened safe

corridors in western Mosul. It's hoped the corridors

will enable trapped civilians to flee the ongoing battle to drive

so called 'Islamic State' - out of its last main

stronghold in the country. Iraqi government forces are planning

to launch a major assault New research suggests working in hot

temperatures increases the risk Scientists were

investigating why the most common cause of death for serving

firefighters is heart attack Our Health correspondent

Sophie Hutchinson reports. Experienced firefighter

Simon McNally used to It meant several times a day

he was exposed to fires of up Then one day at work,

he had a heart attack. You're hoping it was

indigestion or you're hoping You're hoping it's not going t opve

as sinister as a heart attack so it We keep ourselves reasonably fit

in the Fire Service, we have to pass a standard

test every year. We have a check-up

every three years. So it was a bit confusing to be

faced with those signs and symptoms. Heart attacks are the leading cause

of death for frontline firefighters. Studies in America have shown almost

half of all firefighters who die on duty are killed

by heart problems. The new research carried out

by Edinburgh University and published in the journal,

Circulation, monitored the hearts of 19 healthy firefighters

during mock rescues. It found body temperatures rose

by one degree Celsius and remained high for up to four

hours afterwards. Blood vessels failed to relax

despite medication and the blood became stickier, carrying

a high risk of forming Scientists believed the reason

was the extreme physical They say simple measures such

as staying hydrated and taking breaks to cool down are vital

for saving firefighters lives. We'll be talking about the research

are little later. The first official portrait

of First Lady Melania Trump has been The image of the former model

was taken in the White House by a Belgian photographer

and was released with a statement from Mrs Trump saying

she was looking forward to "working Social media reaction has been mixed

with some saying the First Lady looked "beyond beautiful"

while others questioned if the photo It is definitely a power photo.

Reminds me bit of Dynasty. A Jack Russell from Devon has

set a new world record Eight-year-old Jessica -

and her owner Rachael Grylls - The team train for 15 minutes a day

and they beat the previous record - And let's have a look at that

technique in slow-mo. It is the timing and the moments and

seconds he is in the air. You are talking about a Premier

League manager under pressure. He was questioned by a BBC female

reporter about the pressure on him and the fact that the club's owner

was in the stands and he didn't like that question at all so he said to

her, "You need to be careful with your questions or you might get a

slap". A big row brewing and out whether those comments were sexist,

inappropriate and David Moyes 's has apologised and the reporter has

accepted it but there is still a lot going on. The FA is

investigating and he may even be charged.

In Sport, The Football Association ask Sunderland boss David Moyes

to explain comments made to a BBC reporter after a post match

He suggested the reporter could "get a slap" for asking certain questions

but later apologised saying he deeply regrets what he said

There are still over three months until the start of the women's

European Championship in the Netherlands but England head

coach Mark Sampson has already named his squad of 23

England's first game is against Scotland but THEY won't

announce their team until much closer to the championship.

World Athletics' governing body the I -double A -

F admit that they have been hacked by the Russian Fancy Bears group -

responsible for leaking data about athlete's use of restricted

We were all talking about it last time when there were revelations

about which athletes were using which restrictive drugs because you

have two apply to say you have asthma or a terrible injury. All

these questions then arose about legitimacy of some people 's

performances and some of athletes had to come out and say that they

had altitude sick nurse or asthma. -- altitude sickness. No names

mentioned yet but they will come out in the next few days and weeks. And

we have the audio from David Moyes. We would love to know what you

think. You're watching

Breakfast from BBC News. The government announces a ?30

million programme to help unemployed parents find work but is criticised

for freezing benefits. Authorities in Russia are reported

to have identified the man behind yesterday's attack

on the St Petersburg metro. Shall we catch up with the weather?

Go on then. Good morning. This morning it is not as cold as

yesterday. For others it is a fresh start. What for most, we will see

bright spells and some will have warmer conditions and yesterday,

some won't be as warm as yesterday. So, what is happening? I weather in

charge of the weather. We have a weather front sinking south through

the day. That is producing the cloud for England and Wales and patchy

rain. Some of the rain through the night has been heavy. You can see

where it has been raining through the night. For the next couple of

hours we could see the odd heavy burst and the odd rumble of thunder

for parts of the south-east. You can see quite nicely on the chart where

it is. This morning in London at 8am it will be 10 degrees. There are one

or two breaks in the cloud for England and were. The main breaks

are further north, for the north of England into Scotland and also parts

of Northern Ireland -- Wales. It is a fresh start here with some showers

and through the day the wind is going to strengthen, particularly so

for the far north of Scotland and especially the Northern Isles. So,

through the day, here comes the rain to the south-east. There will be a

veil of cloud behind it. And for some it will take much of the

afternoon into the evening before we see the back end of it. It will

brighten from the north through the day, but we hang on to showers.

Temperatures ranging from eight in the north to 16 in the south.

Somewhere like Cardiff could see 16 or 17 and the same too in the

Midlands. That will feel pleasant in the sunshine. As we head through the

evening and overnight, eventually we will lose the showers, the cloud

will move away and then for England and the Wii will have clear skies.

-- England and Wales. Further north, cloud with gales or severe gales.

Temperatures in towns, 4-8, in the countryside, much lower. It won't

feel cold in the countryside, but we will see some frost around. It is

nippy tomorrow with high pressure still in charge of the weather,

still windy, not as windy, for the north of Scotland. And for most it

will be fairly quiet weatherwise. Again, sunshine around, variable

cloud and breezy. The strongest wind and showers for the north.

Temperatures ranging from nine in the north to 13 or 14 further south.

Yesterday, incidentally, we had a high in Gravesend of 18 degrees, so

you can see the temperature just coming down a notch or two. Then on

Thursday high pressure is still with us. Still a lot of quiet weather and

RAM. Some of us get off to a chilly start with variable cloud -- quite a

lot of weather around. A little sunshine would be lovely,

Carol. Thank you very much. A mixed picture.

It was the honeymoon that turned to unimaginable tragedy -

a young wife who briefly left her new husband

to visit their hotel room but never returned.

Michaela McAreavey had been murdered.

Six years on, her husband John is still looking for answers.

He's now returned to Mauritius with the hope of finally getting

From Port Louis, Mark Simpson reports.

Back on the island where his wife was murdered. This is a return

journey most people thought John McAreavey would never make. He first

came to Mauritius six years ago. It was his honeymoon. But 12 days after

getting married, Michaela McAreavey was murdered. His decision to return

has surprised the authorities here. But he says they had better get used

to it. If we have to be back next week if we have to be back next

month, next year, we will be here as long as it takes to ensure that this

case is resolved. If I am still standing here in 20 years, so be it.

John and Michaela were a well-known couple back home in Northern

Ireland. Her father, Mickey Hart, is one of Ireland's most successful

Gaelic football managers. Michaela was killed at this hotel. She

disturbed intruders who had broken into her room. They panicked and

killed her. Two Hotel workers later went on trial for murder but both

were found not guilty. Since then, John McAreavey hasn't spoken about

the case but this week he has decided not just to speak out but to

act. In Mauritius as a country, you know, I have absolutely nothing

against. But the reality is, you know, my deepest fears and

nightmares came to reality here. So whenever you are physically back in,

you know, it is not easy. The death of a young Irish woman on honeymoon

on this holiday island made headlines around the world, and in

Mauritius it is front page news again this week with John

McAreavey's sudden decision to return. I think people will be

shocked. People will be shocked because we gathered that he had

started a new life and that he would move on and forget about this

tragedy. I think people will be surprised to see him and to see that

his quest for the truth is still there. The hotel where Michaela

McAreavey was killed still exists and is still busy. Six years on it

has been renamed but what happened here has not been forgotten in

Mauritius, especially now that John McAreavey is back on the island. And

he is insisting this visit won't be his last. Mark Simpson, BBC News,

Mauritius. Later in the programme,

we'll be speaking to John McAreavey We are going to have a quick look at

the papers. Go on then. The Telegraph's main story, what

happened in St Petersburg yesterday, with pictures of the damage done to

the underground train when a bomb went off. And they have a story that

I suspect people will talk about, the Church of England accusing the

National Trust of airbrushing faith after it dropped Easter from the

Easter egg hunt. Hundreds of thousands of children searching for

chocolate eggs at National Trust properties rebranded to exclude

Easter for the first time whereas previously it was the ease direct

rail and now it is called the great British egg hunt. The front page of

the times, Theresa May coming down the steps in Saudi Arabia, and

foreign aid profiteers. And the interesting juxtaposition on the

Sun, rather it to Spain, the message to the meddling leaders of Spain and

the EU at the same time as offering ?15 holidays to Spain. The front

page of the Daily Mirror, Victoria Derbyshire, one of our colleagues,

has done an interview on breast cancer. And how important it has

been. She is normally on the channel after Breakfast. Yes. And a story

about some robbers who poured boiling water over someone, and they

were arrested after they had a ?19,000 spending spree in Dubai. One

story on the back of the sport pages, something entertaining on the

inside pages normally, but here is David Moyes and the story on his

comments to a female reporter after a match dominating the back pages

with the Mail calling for him to be sacked following those comments.

David Moyes in slap wrap on the back of the Star and lots of analysis on

the worst, you know, what is the worst part of what he said? Sarah

Sheppard in the Times talking about, is it the fact he threatened to slap

her, the fact he drew attention to the fact she is a woman, or is it

just in general a problem in football, that managers are so

powerful they get to pick and choose which questions they answer, they

can treat reporters as they want to. The interesting reaction to it, Gary

Lineker said this is the problem, manages sometimes treat interviewers

with such disdain, and that is inexcusable. People at home can make

their own judgement because at 6:40am... We have the transcript of

what happened. And picking up on the Financial Times, electric cars are

here to stay when the valley of one of the companies has overtaken that

of Ford, Tesla shares rose to a value of $47.5 billion, well beyond

Ford, whose shares fell two points for while Tesla made 7000 cars while

Ford made over 2 million. Clearly a change in how we get around and

Tesla wants to get ahead. Far more charging points all over the place

these days. It is sorting out the battery thing. There are not enough.

You don't want to drive down the motorway and sit for one hour while

the charges. There is the issue of taking out and recharging with a

different battery. You look confused. No, not at all. I just

want to know that the battery is good enough. Exactly. And that it

will get you where you want to go. That is all we want.

It's 50 years since the Beatles recorded Sergeant Pepper's Lonely

Hearts Club Band, and every day this week we're getting the old record

player out to give the beloved old vinyl a spin again.

Today's pop pick is, When I'm 64, a number Paul McCartney wrote

We've been out to hear some of your memories.

And, just a warning, there's some screechy

Yuan, two, three, four. # when I get older, losing my hair. # many years

from now. We will be sending Valentine... # birthdays,

greetings... When I'm 64 was one of the favourites, wasn't it? Time

search change. I 64 isn't old any more. I know people who are 64 who

are a little bit more wild than I am. # will you still love me when I

am 64? It seems like a lifetime away, and I am sure it did for Paul

when he wrote it as a teenager and I just think, what am I going to be

doing. # we are out until 2:45am, will you lock the door? There is no

age, you can just - it depends how the individual looks after your

body. # will you still need me when I'm 64?

I probably won't still be here on Breakfast when I am 64. Well, who

knows? Who knows these days. So many years away, hundreds of years away,

surely. Get in touch with us. What will you want to be doing when

you're 64? Time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. I'm back with the latest

from the BBC London newsroom Plenty more on our website

at the usual address. Now, though, it's back

to Louise and Dan. Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. We'll bring you all the latest news

and sport in a moment, It was a horrific

and shocking crime. Six years ago John McAreavey's

wife was murdered while they were on honeymoon in

Mauritius. John has returned to the island

and will tell us about his There are just twelve months to go

until Australia hosts We'll catch up with several athletes

who are preparing to follow the baton to the Gold Coast

for the "Friendly Games". And as Breakfast celebrates a half

century of Sergeant Pepper, we'll see if Paul McCartney's lyrics

to "When I'm 64" ring true But now a summary of this

morning's main news. Russia is still on alert

following the explosion between two St Petersburg underground stations

yesterday afternoon. Russian media is reporting

that the man suspected of carrying out the attack is in his early 20s

and from Central Asia. 11 people were killed and 51 people

are being treated in hospital. Three days of mourning

for the victims have been declared. Research has showed that children

with nonworking adults achieve less. Ministers say they want to give

children that life chances but the government has been criticised for

freezing benefits. A group of MPs has accused

the government of making "unsubstantiated claims"

about the potential impact of failing to reach

a Brexit deal with the EU. The Exiting the EU Committee

report criticised the Prime Minister's position that

no deal was better than a bad deal and called on the government

to carry out an urgent impact Some of the committee members say

the report is rushed Theresa May has defended her trip

to Saudi Arabia saying close ties are needed with the kingdom for both

security and trade reasons. The Prime Minister arrives in Riyadh

later after visiting the King Labour has criticised the UK's

support for the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen but Mrs May said

the government was also a significant donor of humanitarian

aid to the country. Researchers say they are closer

to understanding why firefighters are at such a high risk

of suffering heart attacks. The authors of a new study say

firefighters' blood becomes sticky at high temperatures meaning

it is more likely to form The National Fire Chiefs Council

says it will consider the findings The Church of England has accused

the National Trust of "airbrushing faith" after it dropped the word

"Easter" from its annual The Archbishop of York,

John Sentamu, described the decision as "spitting on the grave"

of John Cadbury, the The National Trust said

the accusations were nonsense. If you like tall buildings

and fireworks - stand by - South Korea's tallest

building, the 123 story - 'Lotte World Tower',

formally opened on Monday. And what better way to celebrate

than with fireworks When you moved into a new house, did

you celebrate in that style? No. Kat, we are talking about David

Moyes. You have the actual interview. We are going to play the

interview between Vicki Sparks come at a female reporter, and David

Moyes in which he said to her, you know, those questions are getting a

bit cheeky, watch out next time you come around here because" you might

get a slap" even though you are a woman. It's the even though you are

a woman that has introduced the WestJet about it being sexist. There

is a huge debate about it. -- about whether it is sexist.

The Football Association will ask David Moyes to explain himself

about comments he made to a BBC reporter last month.

Vicki Sparks has accepted an apology from the Sunderland manager

after he told her "she might get a slap".

Moyes had taken exception to her line of questioning

about whether he was feeling the pressure after their match

Moyes apologised for this yesterday saying he regrets the comments,

But it may not be enough, with reaction to the comments

from the group Women In Football urging more action.

What do you think? You work in football. I know that Vicki Sparks

has accepted the apology that people are up in arms and some say he needs

to resign or someone should sack him. How do you feel as a woman who

worked in that industry? I do think it's necessarily as sexist comment.

I think the fact that he adds, "Even though you are a woman" brings

gender in but I think he is meaning to be sexist. I think what is worse

for me and I think maybe what is worse for Vicki Sparks is the fact

that he said, "You need to be careful next time". Does it give you

an insight into the sort of control that they have over what is being

said? It is this attitude that "I don't have to answer these questions

that you are asking me". It is the watch yourself next time you come in

because I am the boss around here. I'm not defending David Moyes but it

isn't very high pressure job. Somebody asks question which is

valid and you can react in a bad way. What he said was indefensible

but the interesting thing is that you're not there and Vicky wasn't

there in that situation because she was a woman. She is a journalist and

that should be the qualification. People are coming out saying that

what David Moyes said was indefensible. We will be hearing

from some of those later in the programme.

A full programme of midweek fixtures in the Premier League begins

Moyes' Sunderland travel to Champions Leicester City.

The pick of tonight's games is at Old Trafford,

where Manchester United will look to close the gap on the top four

It's the second of nine games for United in April

but despite the distraction of the Europa League next week,

the United manager isn't looking that far ahead

There are still over three months to go until the start of the women's

European Championship, but England head coach Mark Sampson

has already named his final squad of 23 for the tournament.

19 already have experience from their third place finish

at the World Cup two years ago, but four uncapped players have been

named including three from Manchester City.

England's first match is against Scotland on July 19th.

We're not afraid to say we want to win this tournament but we know we

have to be respectful of other nations. We know that there is a lot

of quality out there and ultimately, the best prepared team and the team

that prepares well, performs well on the day, Winters many games as they

possibly can. -- wins as many. Scotland won't name their squad

until closer to the tournament - but they have named their new coach

- Shelly Kerr says she is "extremely proud and honoured

to be Scotland coach - she'll take over after the summer,

having previously coached Arsenal Ladies - and she became

the first female manager in British men's senior football

when she took charge Loughborough Lightning have gone top

of the Netball Super League after beating Celtic

Dragons 65-45 last night. Elsewhere, last year's beaten

finallists Manchester Thunder have moved up to fourth, coming

from behind at half time to beat Herfordshire Mavericks

59 points to 50. The Russian hackers Fancy Bears have

struck again, and this time it's the World Athletics body -

the IAAF - that has been targeted. Their president Lord Coe has

apologised to its athletes for the breach in their security

of their Therapeutic Use Exemption information - but it's not yet known

what will be revealed. We uncovered this ourselves. This

wasn't something that just happened. We were looking at the safety and

security of our systems. Unfortunately, during that process,

we discovered that we had been accessed. We have now done

everything that we possibly could to put new systems in place. So the

IAAF know they have been hacked. The last time they were hacked, it was

the likes of Alistair Brownlee who had to have drugs for altitude

sickness. Serena Williams, Alistair Brownlee and Bradley Wiggins, last

time. We will see who comes at this time.

Russian security services are on high alert following yesterday's

explosion on the metro system in St Petersburg,

which killed 11 people and left more than 40 injured.

Russian investigators are treating the blast

Our correspondent Oleg Boldyrev is in Moscow for us this morning.

Thank you for your time on this. Can you bring us up to date because

there are developments all the time. What more do we know this morning.

Very little concerned that apart from the number of deceased stands

at 11 and the number receiving help for wounds is around 50. There have

been things leak to us from forces and some will be disproved.

Yesterday they were claiming that two suspects and later that was

corrected. It looks like now the investigation is looking into a

single perpetrator who left one explosive device on one central

station in St Petersburg. That device failed to go off and was

later found and deactivated. And then the man will, reportedly a

young man, 22 or 23-year-old, blue and other device and himself in the

process. We get now conflicting reports that he might have been born

in one of the Central Asian republics, either Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan. We're not sure whether this be followed up on. -- we are

getting confirmation in several hours. What has the reaction been

like in Moscow and St Petersburg? Most people are horrified. There are

flowers and candles both in St Petersburg on the station where it

happened and in Moscow. The security situation here in Moscow is pretty

calm. I was travelling this morning to the office and there was no

heightened police presence but reports from all major Russian

cities are they are putting forces on high alert. The question is

whether even more higher security measures can be implemented. There

are lots of those who say that some sweeping antiterrorism measures

which have been passed last year, for example, would have been

ineffective in a situation like this because we have some leaks from

other sources close to the investigation saying that security

services in St Petersburg had some fragmented information about a

terror plot but they didn't have enough to act upon it. Obviously, a

lot of questions to security services in this particular

incident. You're watching BBC breakfast. Lots

coming up on the programme this morning. Carol is looking for the

weather. It's not as chilly as it was, is it? For some of us this

morning, no. Yesterday for example in London, it was around about five

or six Celsius. At the moment, it is now ten. What we are looking at

today is a bright spells. Some of us will have some sunshine and for

some, it will feel fresher than it did this morning. High pressure

still firmly in charge of the weather. A weaker weather front

sinking southwards. That is introducing the cloud we currently

have across England and Wales. Also the patchy rain. Some of the rain,

albeit patchy, is heavy and will continue to be so for the next

couple of hours. With without a rumble of thunder. The thunder risk

at about eight o'clock. The showers and patchy rain continuing. You can

see a lot of cloud across England and Wales with temperatures widely

into double figures. We move into the far north of England and

Scotland and also Northern Ireland, are much fresh start to the day with

clearer skies. A lot of showers coming in, especially across the far

North of Scotland. Especially the Northern Isles. Through the day, the

wind will strengthen. Up through the course of the morning and the

afternoon, the cloud tends to push down and following on the weather

front into the near continent but it will brighten up until probably this

evening in the far south-east just before dark. You can see behind it,

the sunshine prevails with temperatures widely eight to about

16. That eight in the Northern Isles will feel cold and the showers and

gales. For example, Cardiff, parts of south-west England, it is not

without possibility that you could get 16 or indeed 17 Celsius. In the

sunshine, that will feel pleasant for this time of year. The sickening

and overnight, we lose the rain and the cloud. Clear scope dominate

across the likes of England and Wales. A bit more clout in Scotland.

-- clear skies dominate. The odd eight and sixes and sevens. It will

be much colder than that in the countryside. We are looking at frost

across England and Wales. It will be a cold start the day tomorrow. Still

under the influence of high pressure. You can see the squeeze of

the isobars, still windy in north but not as windy as it will be later

today and tonight. For most of us tomorrow after a bright start, you

will notice the cloud starting to push down from the north. Parts of

south-west England, for example, hanging on to the sunshine at it

longer that a lot of this will be high clouds which will be right or

hazy sunshine rather than wall-to-wall blue skies.

Temperatures tomorrow, 8- 14. With each passing day, the temperature

just drops by a couple of degrees but for most, the weather remains

fine and a settled, Dan and Louise. I like that. You know that we like a

little bit of sunshine. In the last year, hundreds of bus

routes have been reduced or scrapped altogether, but new laws

could change that. Yes, they could. Many people rely on

those services. Yes, those new rules will give city

councils more power over routes, fares and schedules,

in the same way that a separate body, Transport for London,

governs public transport Five billion journeys were made

on British buses last year. But not all of them are profitable,

particularly in remote areas, so they get a subsidy

from the local authority. But those subsidies have faced big

cuts over the last year, amounting to ?28 million,

that's about a third slashed from budgets

in England and Wales. You can see on the map,

the darker the map, So the smallest cuts

were in the West Midlands. The north-west also

saw big cuts too. Four councils - Middlesbrough,

Lancashire, Torbay and the Isle of Wight - have had to stop bus

subsidies altogether. And that can have a big impact

on services, as these people in Cumbria noticed after subsidies

there were cut two years ago. We had a regular bus service that

ran up and down the valley and it was how people got to work, the

hospital and school. I have used buses not to go to Carlisle or the

hospital if necessary. It is just impossible. If anything happened to

my husband, I would be stark. I have a daughter who lives here who

doesn't drive. I don't drive. My daughter goes to school 80 miles

away and since they cut the bus I have had to rely on friends to get

her to school. Somewhere that spends a lot of money on public transport,

for example Jersey, visitors will use the transport system to get

around the island very easily. If we are competing with them, then we

will lose out. We are currently working with the different operators

to try to find a way to get the service up and running. In the

long-term, it is hard to see. Cumbria Council say

they are supporting various Let's speak to Giles Fearnely,

boss of one of the country's biggest Good morning. I am interested in

what the cuts to subsidies mean for you. We have seen the headlines. Ask

services have to be cut. Talk me through from eight business services

point of view. Outside London nine out of ten bus services are run

commercially. -- bus. Bus services rely on public funding. There are

not enough passengers to pay the cost of the service. You rely on

local authorities to come forward to provide funding to help the services

operate. This is the dilemma. As a commercial organisation, you exist

to make honey, to make a profit with shareholders. That is what

businesses do. On the other hand, councils say, we want these services

in remote areas that when make money. You cannot square the circle.

How can you do both went there is not enough money to go around? Local

authorities have a duty to decide whether or not a service should

operate when there is not enough passengers to run it commercially

and we have worked closely with other operators with local

authorities to try to find solutions. For instance in the West

Country services are under threat and some services have been

withdrawn. We were struck by the local community who were determined

to save the service. For six months we found extra money and worked with

the community to try to save the service to encourage people to use

it. This is all about the people using the service. It is working

very well and people are using the service thanks to the local

community coming together and encouraging people to use it. We

implore other communities to come together to try to work with the

local authority to save these services. If the changes to the bus

services Bill are brought into force it would give councils more control

over the services that they provide. For the passengers you might say it

is a good thing. Is it the case that the council is asking you to do more

and not willing to pay for it? We welcome the bus services Bill and

encourage those who were closely to benefit passengers. It doesn't solve

customers and passengers' issues, one is congestion, it will make bus

journeys less attractive, and secondly it will not create more

money for services like those we are talking about. It has to be local

decisions, local allocation of money, which can be difficult at

times. That is the local authorities having to work hard and look

carefully at how to allocate their money. I wish we could talk more but

time is done. The boss of FirstGroup speaking to us. More from me later.

Thank you. To a young Paul McCartney,

being 64 meant hair loss, digging the weeds, knitting

by the fireside and grandchildren But do the famous lyrics

to "When I'm 64" ring true For our special series

on Sergeant Pepper's half century Tim Muffet has been to the Isle

of Wight to find out. # when I get old, losing my hair,

many years from now... A whimsical song about getting old, knitting

sweaters and wasting away. For 64-year-old Gavia it doesn't ring

true. It is different from the Beatles' song. It is rather

different. I am not aware of being 64. I am having the time of my life.

# when you still need me, when you still feed me when I'm 64. I feed

myself. I am fairly independent currently and long may it be thus.

There has been huge changes in life expectancy over the last 50 years.

So if we look at the 64-year-old in 1967, you would have on average 12

years of life expectancy. A woman would have around 80 years life

expectancy. Today that has transformed, especially for men, and

actually a man aged 64 will have 23 years of life expectancy ahead, so

that is over a doubling. Not all 64 -year-olds are as active as Gavia

but better diet, less smoking and medical advances have all helped. #

when I get old... Paul Stevens is also 64 and works part-time as a

road patrol officer. He has been married to Gwen for it years. Both

were previously divorced. Commonplace today. Not so 50 years

ago. It just makes life easier rather than being frowned on. Yes, a

lot of people were stuck in unhappy marriages before that. #

grandchildren on your knee... Grandchildren on your knee. Not

fear, Chuck and Dave. We have George, Lenin. If we look back to

1967 and those aged 64, about 5% of their marriages entered -- ended in

divorce, which results in more blended families. # every summer we

can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight. So, a cottage in the Isle of

Wight. # we will scrimp and save. You are both 64 and this is yours.

And it is not too dear. Do you scrimp and save? At the end of the

day, yes. Colin and Jenny rent out holiday homes and run a garlic farm.

Neither have immediate plans to retire. I run the holiday cottages

and part of the restaurant and the shop. The big change has been in

women. So, if you go back 50 years, only a quarter of women aged 60- 64

were in the market. Today it is two thirds. Changes to the state pension

age as well as laws banning age and gender discrimination have all

played a role. Compared to 1967, being 64 today is a very different

experience. Tim Muffet, BBC News, on the Isle of Wight.

Wonderful to see everybody clearly enjoying themselves. Yes, we will be

speaking to the Isle of Wight Festival later on. We have been

asking what you want to do when you are 64. How would will be riding a

Harley-Davidson across the Planes with tears in his eyes for love

lost, and getting on with the caring duties. Tony says I will be 64 in

June and I live in the Philippines, hopefully I will drink beer with

this ongoing down. I would like to live by the sea. And would you like

to tell the BBC Breakfast viewers what you will be doing? I will be

writing books. That isn't exactly what you said. OK. You can all look

forward to that, maybe. Time now to get the news,

A revised plan to get parents from troubled families back

into work is being launched by the government today.

Research shows that children from families with no working adults

achieve less at school and into adult life.

It was after the London riots of 2011 that David Cameron

introduced the Troubled Families programme.

New government research shows the impact that parental conflict

and worklessness have on children's chances of doing well throughout

One of the things that really matters is the relationship

We know that relationships break down but whether you're living

together or not living together, married or unmarried,

the key is that the parents should maintain a good relationship.

That is an absolute key to the future success

The ?30 million invested will go towards trying to resolve issues

that can cause conflict in relationships.

Unemployment, along with mental health.

Also drug and alcohol dependency and homelessness.

At this family Centre, it's welcome news.

Early intervention is about avoiding escalated situations further

We welcome that but also believe it is very good value for money

in terms of avoiding future problems.

Others have criticised the scheme for being ineffective

and anti-poverty campaigners say it pales

into insignificance when compared to the amount of money millions

of families are missing out on due to changes in benefit payments.

Secretary Damian Green. A group of MPs has accused

the government of making "unsubstantiated claims"

about the potential impact of failing to reach

a Brexit deal with the EU. Our political correspondent Ellie

Price is in Westminster for us. Ellie, what exactly

does this report say? Article 50 was triggered to break

fanfare here last week and that was essentially when the stopwatch

started on the Brexit negotiations. What this report says that if the

government needs to do more in case no deal was reached. The government

has previously said it wouldn't offer. Here is what the chairman had

to say. In the absence of an economic assessments, it would mean

tariffs, and impact on trade between Northern Ireland and the Republic of

Ireland and without the government setting out what mitigating steps it

would put in place, the assertion that no deal is better than a bad

deal is, in the words of the report, unsubstantiated. The government says

it is looking into all potential outcomes and it expects a deal to be

reached. Another interesting port -- point, is made up of MPs from all

the parties and MPs who voted pro, - remain and pro- Brexit. The probe

Brexit people walked out last week when it was being discussed and said

that the report was rushed, partisan and skewed and too pessimistic about

Brexit. Why does it matter? The select committees are meant to hold

the government to act count and if they can't all come to an agreement,

it is as eventually just pro remained MPs to come to the

conclusion is and it brings its credibility into question.

Heart attacks are the leading cause of death for frontline firefighters.

Studies in America have shown almost half of all firefighters who die

on duty are killed by heart problems.

The new research carried out by Edinburgh University

of 19 healthy firefighters during mock rescues.

high for up to four hours afterwards.

Blood vessels failed to relax despite medication and the blood

families", who the government said were costing the state

Joining us now from Westminster is Work and Pensions Secretary Damian

Thank you for joining us. Let's start with how to define a troubled

family, one would be getting access to this kind of development and

education, and money. Families that have multiple problems, so often out

of work, which is obviously where my department comes in, to help them

work, and also commonly parents may have problems with addiction to

either alcohol or drugs, they may have debt problems, they may have

housing problems. It is solving the multiple problems at once that we

need to do not just for the adults in the family but specifically for

the children in the family so that they get the best start in life and

so that their chances are not defined by the first few years of

it, that is this programme, and that is why we are dealing with workless

nurse and also with issues like the rental conflict which can lead to

much poorer performance in schools for children -- worklessness. Is it

a government role, do you think, to start dealing with relationship

problems in some ways? We won't do it directly. The money you mentioned

will go to charities and voluntary organisations experienced in helping

people maintain relationships even if their own relationship with the

adults has broken down. We have research which shows whether or not

the parents stay together, even if they split up because they cannot

live with each other, if they can maintain a good relationship it is

much better for the children's performance generally and that is

what we need to do. And if the state doesn't intervene at this point,

then we know it is going to have to intervene further down the line,

possibly through the criminal justice system or the health system.

Quite a lot of these problems can lead to mental health problems later

in life. This is part of a programme that has gone on for some years with

many millions already spent on these Troubled Families Programme. There

is research from the national also to research which said they could

not find consistent evidence that it had any significant or systematic

impact. Is the programme itself in trouble? I don't agree with that

national institute report. I thought it was on the programme. There are

improvements that can be made to the Troubled Families Programme. That is

what we are doing. We are bringing it closer together with job centres.

We have found that being workless is almost the key to a lot of other

problems. If we can get people back to work it will help the other

problems. One of the insights of the Troubled Families Programme is you

need a key worker who is responsible for helping the individual family.

To often in the past the police would be dealing with one family

member, maybe the child was not go to school, and these were never

joined-up. Having one individual responsible for that is much better.

Of course every programme can be improved. That is what we are trying

to do. Just explain, you are investing money in these families,

at the same time as freezing their benefits. We -- these are not the

same families at all. Many of them would be, wouldn't they? Not

necessarily. There is clearly overlap. We are doing a lot for

people at the lower end of the income scale. We have improved the

national living wage, that goes up this week. We are taking people...

We are increasing the tax allowance, so we take them at a income tax. And

later this year we are introducing 30 hours of childcare. We are doing

a lot to help families at the bottom end of the scale. -- out of income

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

Let's have a look at what is happening in the weather with Carol.

I love a little bit of Tyne Wear action.

What we have at the moment is a cloudy start for some and it will

brighten up where we have the dull skies, except for the south-east.

And you will find it will feel fresher than yesterday. In the

southern areas it is a mild start because of the cloud amongst the

high pressure and a weather front sinking south with patchy rain. Look

at these queries on the isobars in the north of the country. Later it

will be very windy. The weather front has been producing showers,

the bright colours indicating they were heavy, and the odd rumble of

thunder for another hour. Showers continue but for the rest of England

and Wales it is cloudy with the odd spot in the breeze. It is not very

cold. As women into northern England, Scotland and Northern

Ireland, there is cloud around -- as we move. It is fresh with showers.

For the north of Northern Ireland and the north of Scotland, the wind

will pick up here, touching gale force, possibly severe gales in the

Northern Isles, especially set Shetland -- Shetland. We are left

with cloud and showers in the afternoon. In Wales, Scotland and

Northern Ireland, it will be largely dry with sunshine. Temperatures

feeling cold at around eight in the Northern Isles. 15 or 16, possibly

17 in Cardiff, south-west England and the south-west Midlands. It will

feel pleasant for the time of year. Overnight we lose the cloud from the

south-east. Clear skies around, still severe gales for the north of

Scotland, and it will be a cold night. We are looking at

temperatures in towns and cities, seven or eight, and in the

countryside temperatures will be lower. It will be low enough for a

touch of grass frost here and there. Tomorrow a chilly start to the day.

Under the high pressure things are fairly settled. It will be windy for

the far north of Scotland. Just not as windy as later today and don't

stop and what he will find is we get off to a bright start and cloud

pushes down from the north. It will be bright rather than wall-to-wall

blue skies. In the south-west of England, should hang on to the

sunshine for the longest with temperatures between eight and 14. A

quick look at Thursday, MEP start to the day with clear skies overnight,

sunshine, variable amounts of cloud and showers in the north-west --a

nippy start. Temperatures between about ten and 15. Thank you. Just

discussing how lovely it is to have light evenings as well. Yes. Thank

you. You love a warm evening. Yes, I do. Some of girl, hey? Definitely.

OK. You wait ages for a business story

then three come along at once. Ben's here with the latest

on changes to bus services and more. Nearly ?30 million has been slashed

from subsidies for bus services in the last year across

England and Wales. That's led to a reduction

or cancellation of 500 services. The biggest cuts were in

the south-west and north-west of But new rules are expected to hand

more powers to city councils giving them greater control over routes,

happen to him. Some people are calling thing to be sacked or at

least resigned. The comments he made to a BBC reporter where he said the

question was a bit cheeky and you might get a slap next time you come

in, you should be careful next time you come to Sunderland. They were

both laughing but I think after the event, once the laughter stopped,

people were analysing those comments and thinking there was something of

its sinister perhaps behind them. Lots of people reacting very

differently to this story on Twitter. We have been talking all

For the first time, Beach Volleyball will be included

in the line up and Steven Godden is live this morning near Edinburgh

On a morning like this, you could just about confused this beach with

the Gold Coast in Australia. Particularly where you hand the

camera around and see beach volleyball going on. It is the first

time the sport will appear in the Commonwealth Games. It has been an

Olympic sport since 1996. Scotland hopefuls are going through their

paces here. Here is Lin Beattie who is hopeful to qualify. Is this a

typical morning? We have been pretty lucky with the weather this morning.

We have been down here all winter, training in all sorts of ways. This

is our training base. We are grateful to have new permanent post

behind us. The wind and rain you have experience throughout the

weather, will that be in a Vantage? I hope so. We don't know what the

weather is going to be like -- and find it. We have just been back from

Sydney and the weather is very Scottish, if you like. We think it

is an advantage. The mental advantage that we get from training

in this weather has got to be a benefit.

What are you hoping the experience will bring from the Olympics? Think

I have learned a lot stop now moving onto the beach and an operant

Junichi to play the Commonwealth games representing Scotland. --

opportunity. Showing people that Scotland are a team to be reckoned

with in the world of each volleyball -- beach volleyball. What are the

differences between normal volleyball and beach volleyball? The

biggest change is the mental side. There is only two of you out there

on the beach so if one of you is not having a good day, you have to work

hard to get over that. The game can be over in a second. That is

something we have been working hard on. Scotland had their most

successful Commonwealth games the last time, the host games in

Glasgow. They are hoping for the best overseas. The beach volleyball

players are hoping to play their part. It does look like a lovely day

but slightly unusual outfits. From one Commonwealth Athlete

to another, we're joined by the current Commonwealth

Flyweight champion Nicola Adams. Nicola is also a double

Olympic, World, But she is leaving amateur boxing

behind and this weekend faces her first bout

as a professional. We will come to that in a minute

that lets rewind to the Commonwealth Games. It is so exciting. What are

your favourite memories? Just being in the arena and the buzz of the

crowd. Everybody was so excited. It was the first time women's boxing

was involved. It was nice to create that bit of history. Becoming the

first female to get a medal. Gold medal. There were questions about

you turning pro. What was it that made you finally decide, OK, this is

it. I'm not going to do the amateur side again, and to GoPro. I wanted

to follow in the footsteps of Muhammad Ali. He went from being an

Olympic champion to be in a world champion as a pro and I want to be

able to emulate that and follow my hero. Explained to us who are not

familiar, it's completely different for you, isn't it? What are the

different priorities? The number of rounds I will do. I will do tend to

minute rounds and there will be no headgear. You will see a little bit

more of me now. Talk to us about your opponent. The matches taking

place in Manchester. This is the first time you have fought in the UK

since the Olympics. Are really excited about this weekend. I can't

wait. The first time competing in the UK since 2012. They expect my

opponent will come to win. --I expect. I think I will have the edge

and come away with a victory. Tell us about the Olympics as well. You

could have gone for three. Oakwood. I had to think a lot about that. Go

for the triple or do I turn professional. -- yes, I could.

Hopefully become a multi- weight world champion. I know you are just

starting out with a pro career but have you got any idea how long you

want to be involved? The maximum, probably four years, I reckon. Y

four years? I have other interests as well. I think that will be a nice

time to gracefully disappear from the sport but not entirely. -- why.

And your partner is also a boxer? You used to be on the same podium

but now you a different fight weight so you would never fight each other.

We have been in the same weight class through the amateurs for nine

years. We never fought because of the draw, so strange. It must be

nerve racking watching her. I was nervous for the whole two weeks. To

use bar with each other? No. No, we don't. -- do you spar. Just thinking

about the tactics, having fun, enjoying myself. Most importantly,

getting the victory. How have things changed for you in the last few

years? You have been around for an awfully long time. Have things

changed, have attitudes changed to women's boxing in the last few

years? There, attitudes have changed immensely. I think after the

Olympics in 2012, I was so surprised and shocked how Britain and the rest

of the world took to women's boxing. It has just grown and grown. You

must get young girls going up and saying that they are doing it

because of you. I actually had one girl come up to me saying that she

had done ballet for the last five years and after seeing me win the

Olympics, she has taken up boxing. And actually ballet is not a bad

preparation, is it? Yes! Is there enough competition in women's boxing

to keep you going for the next four years? Are they more light is coming

in? Yes, a lot. Especially from the amateur ranks. As the media and the

professional boxing rows, there will be a lot more. I'm going to be kept

quite busy. -- grows. Are there any women particularly that you want to

fight? Pretty much anybody who is holding the title. You are going

after them! Yes, I will be coming after them. Great to talk to you

again. Thank you. All the best this week.

To a young Paul McCartney, being 64 meant hair loss,

digging the weeds, knitting by the fireside and grandchildren

Do the famous lyrics to "When I'm 64" ring true

For our special series on Sergeant Pepper's half century

Tim Muffet has been of course to the Isle of Wight to find out.

A whimsical song about getting old, knitting sweaters and wasting away.

For 64-year-old Gavia, it doesn't ring true.

It's different from the Beatles' song.

I'm fairly independent currently, and long may it be thus.

There's been huge changes in life expectancy over the last 50 years.

So, if we look at the 64-year-old in 1967, you would have on average

A woman would have around 18 more years life expectancy.

Today, that's transformed, especially for men, and actually

a man aged 64 will have 23 years of life expectancy ahead,

Not all 64-year-olds are as active as Gavia but better diet,

less smoking and medical advances have all helped.

Paul Stevens is also 64 and works part-time as a road patrol officer.

He's been married to Gwen for eight years.

It just makes life easier rather than being frowned on.

Yeah, a lot of people were stuck in unhappy marriages before that.

If we look back to 1967 and those aged 64, about 5% of their marriages

ended in divorce, whereas now it is a third, which results

# Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight.

Colin and Jenny, you are both 64 and this is yours.

Colin and Jenny rent out holiday homes and run a garlic farm.

Neither have immediate plans to retire.

I run the holiday cottages and have a part of the restaurant

So, if you go back 50 years, only a quarter of women aged 60-64

Changes to the state pension age as well as laws banning age

and gender discrimination have all played a role.

Compared to 1967, being 64 today is a very different experience.

Tim Muffet, BBC News, on the Isle of Wight.

Some people clearly enjoying themselves, and why wouldn't they?

Later we will speak to the almost 64-year-old promoter of the Isle of

Wight Festival and booking Paul McCartney to headline the festival.

Thank you for your messages on what you would like to do. I would like

to be working but I hope I can live here in Northern Ireland by the sea.

I never dreamt it would happen. I want to live by the sea. Her name is

Nan. She is not a nan by the way. She might be. Colin says, hair

fading, Valentines, no birthday. Fed me only rarely, staying out until a

quarter to four, you're having a laugh. And Dawn, I will still be

working. Thank you for getting in touch, please send in those

messages. I love to read them. Is this the sort of view that you would

like? Yes. This is a beautiful Weather Watchers picture sent in

this morning of East Yorkshire. We have another one from Norfolk. Look

at this, lovely blue skies. This isn't the picture everywhere. The

other thing I want to tell you about as pollen season has started is

yesterday across England and why is the levels were high -- and Wales

the levels were high. For the rest of us it is moderate or low. Now,

what has happened is high pressure is dominating the weather. We have a

weather front moving southwards producing cloud and patchy rain.

Today too, look at the squeezed isobars for the north of Scotland,

the wind will strengthen here, touching gale force, even severe

gales for the Northern Isles, especially Shetland. This morning we

watched the cloud and rain pushed to the south-east. You could hear the

odd rumble of thunder but not for long. It is brightening up from the

north with sunshine. By the mid- afternoon, beautiful for northern

England if you like it sunny, the same for Scotland, however there are

showers and it will be windy. As a result, it will be cold for the

Northern Ireland. One or two showers in the west. Northern Ireland,

bright or sunny spells. Highs of about 12 degrees in Belfast. In

Wales, it is brightening with sunshine, 10 degrees in Aberystwyth.

South-west England, quite a bit of sunshine developing, and you can see

the tail end of the cloud from the weather front extending across

southern counties. The weather front is still producing showery at the

end of south-east and East Anglia. -- outbreaks. Clear skies across

England and Wales after that, clear skies for Scotland and Northern

Ireland, but still the possibility of severe gales in the north.

Temperatures in towns and cities between six and eight Celsius but

lower than that in the countryside, certainly low enough for a touch of

frost. So, if you are tempted into the garden in the recent weather,

bear that in mind. So, high pressure still dominating the weather

tomorrow. It will do so for much of the week. Still windy in the north,

though not quite as windy as it will be later today and tonight. Tomorrow

we start on a chilly and bright note with sunshine. Cloud in the

north-west producing drizzle moving south through the day but a lot of

it will be high cloud so it will be a bright day with some breaks. It

looks like south-west England will hang on to the sunshine for the

longest. Temperatures continuing just to come down by a notch or two

with a top temperature of 13 or 14. The same on Thursday. A chilly start

with the overnight cloud, some sunshine, variable amounts of cloud

and showers in the west. Thank you, so, really cold at night. For some

of us it certainly is, much more fresh across Scotland and Northern

Ireland than it was yesterday before England and Wales with the cloud it

is much more mild Moso it depends where you are. Thank you.

In the last year, hundreds of bus routes have been reduced or scrapped

altogether, but new laws could change that.

Yes, those new rules will give city councils more power over routes,

fares and schedules, in the same way that a separate

body, Transport for London, governs public transport

Five billion journeys were made on British buses last year.

But not all of them are profitable, particularly in remote areas,

so they get a subsidy from the local authority.

But those subsidies have faced big cuts over the last year,

amounting to ?28 million, that's about a third slashed

You can see on the map, the darker the map,

So the smallest cuts were in the West Midlands.

The north-west also saw big cuts too.

Four councils - Middlesbrough, Lancashire, Torbay and the Isle

of Wight - have had to stop bus subsidies altogether.

And that can have a big impact on services, as these people

in Cumbria noticed after subsidies there were cut two years ago.

With me now is Lianna Etkind from the Campaign for Better

Good morning. Let's clarify this. Many would assume may be wrongly

that the council at the moment governance bus services. That is not

always the case? 80% of buses outside London and the UK are run as

commercial services. Bus companies decide where to run the route and

what timetable to stick to. 20% are supported services where the local

authority subsidises the bus service and has some say in where the buses

go and which communities they serve. At the moment the proposals get the

local authority more control to make it more joined up. What difference

for passengers? Where local authorities decide to use the Bus

Services Bill it will enable local authorities to start planning their

bus networks as a whole, rather than route by route, and even transport

network planning, to make sure the bus timetable matches the rail

timetable and when the train comes to the station. It will also enable

councils to introduce multimodal and multi- operator ticketing, so

instead of buying a bus ticket on one bus and then being told you

can't use it on the bus back because it is a different company, the Bus

Services Bill will enable you to have one ticket or one card for the

same fare and use it on buses or even on transport as a whole

throughout the city or area. Is it fair to put the pressure on the bus

services, the bus companies themselves? You might say the

councils have said they will cut how much they subsidise the service and

then the bus company, a commercial organisation, they exist to make

money. Then there is a space in the middle where they don't overlap. The

council is cutting the money, that Company needs to profit, and they

will never meet. We would like the Bus Services Bill to be supported by

sustainable long-term funding and the government needs to recognise

that the buses support strong economies and communities, but

actually bus companies have nothing to fear from the Bus Services Bill.

Indeed, when franchising was introduced in Jersey in 2013, bus

passenger numbers went up by a third. New routes were put on,

frequency increased. Actually, I think people will gain from the

better bus services. Bus companies too, when the services are more

attractive, we'll see people move from the car or other forms of

transport and they will start to take buses. It is good to talk to

you, thank you. More from me after 8am. Thank you.

Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.
