:00:00. > :00:07.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Rachel Burden and

:00:08. > :00:10.The British Government toughens its rhetoric over Russia's

:00:11. > :00:18.Defence Secretary Michael Fallon blames the Kremlin

:00:19. > :00:21.for the civilian deaths in Tuesday's chemical weapons attack.

:00:22. > :00:23.Boris Johnson seeks support for a new initiative

:00:24. > :00:45.A rare honour for murdered police officer Keith Palmer.

:00:46. > :00:48.His coffin will be taken to the palace of Westminster ahead

:00:49. > :00:57.A ceremony to mark the centenary of the First World War Battle

:00:58. > :01:02.More than 20,000 people are expected to take part.

:01:03. > :01:05.In sport, England's Justin Rose is at the top of the leaderboard

:01:06. > :01:11.Rose is six under par along with Spain's Sergio Garcia

:01:12. > :01:21.Also this morning, we meet the sisters with a combined age

:01:22. > :01:27.of 300 and a century of stories to share.

:01:28. > :01:34.Ben has the weather. After yesterday's sunshine and

:01:35. > :01:38.warmth, today will be even warmer. But not for all of us. Scotland and

:01:39. > :01:42.Northern Ireland turning cloudier and cooler. All the details in 15

:01:43. > :01:45.minutes. Thanks very much.

:01:46. > :01:49.There's been more tough rhetoric from the British government

:01:50. > :01:51.on Russia, over its continued support for Syrian President,

:01:52. > :01:54.The Defence Secretary, Sir Michael Fallon, has sharply

:01:55. > :01:57.criticised the Kremlin, saying it was responsible for every

:01:58. > :02:05.Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has pulled out

:02:06. > :02:08.of a planned visit to Moscow and is seeking support

:02:09. > :02:13.We can speak now to our political correspondent Susana Mendonca.

:02:14. > :02:21.Good morning to you. The rhetoric is toughening, whether or not the

:02:22. > :02:27.Russians will take any notice remains to be seen. Very much so. We

:02:28. > :02:31.are hearing from Michael Fallon. Some scathing criticism of the

:02:32. > :02:35.Russian government. He says that by proxy they are responsible for every

:02:36. > :02:39.single one of those deaths that we saw last week and what they are

:02:40. > :02:44.saying is that the British government wants the Russians to

:02:45. > :02:49.bring the Russians to heal, to put pressure on him, to stop the civil

:02:50. > :02:53.war. All of this criticism of course follows the British government's

:02:54. > :03:00.support for the US action in Syria on Friday, when they attacked those

:03:01. > :03:04.buildings that they said contained the equipment that had been used for

:03:05. > :03:09.those gas attacks. What Michael Fallon has said is that he thinks

:03:10. > :03:13.Donald Trump made the right call. All of this comes as the Foreign

:03:14. > :03:17.Secretary Boris Johnson was supposed to be going to Russia tomorrow for a

:03:18. > :03:22.meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister. That's been cancelled. He

:03:23. > :03:26.faces criticism from the Liberal Democrats, who is basically saying

:03:27. > :03:31.he was behaving like an American poodle. The Foreign Secretary's team

:03:32. > :03:34.has said that what they are trying to do now is co-ordinate a response

:03:35. > :03:39.from the G7 industrialised nations who will be meeting on Tuesday in

:03:40. > :03:42.Italy to try to get some kind of co-ordinated response, to put more

:03:43. > :03:45.pressure on Russia. Thank you very much indeed.

:03:46. > :03:48.Thousands of people are expected to gather at services in Stockholm

:03:49. > :03:50.later, to remember those killed in Friday's terror attack.

:03:51. > :03:53.Four people died when a lorry was driven into them

:03:54. > :03:57.Police are still investigating whether a device later found onboard

:03:58. > :04:05.From Stockholm, Maddy Savage reports.

:04:06. > :04:11.Thousands of people spent Saturday paying their respects and, after

:04:12. > :04:15.police reopened the shopping street where the attack happened, many were

:04:16. > :04:19.quick to find new ways to make their mark. In the old town's mediaeval

:04:20. > :04:26.cathedral, there was a special service to remember that it is,

:04:27. > :04:29.attended by Sweden's Prime Minister. Earlier, police revealed that when

:04:30. > :04:33.they towed away the delivery truck used in the violence they had made a

:04:34. > :04:38.disturbing discovery. We have found something in the truck, in the

:04:39. > :04:45.drivers seat. A technical device which should not the deaf. I can't

:04:46. > :04:49.at this stage say whether this is a bomb. The man they think was behind

:04:50. > :04:52.the wheel has connections here, a diverse working-class suburb in the

:04:53. > :04:59.north of the city. He hasn't been named IT is 39 and originally from

:05:00. > :05:01.Uzbekistan. Several others have been arrested following break in

:05:02. > :05:05.different locations. Security remains tight, but locals are

:05:06. > :05:10.expected to gather for a peaceful rally later. They've been told to

:05:11. > :05:12.leave politics at home and come together to show their love for

:05:13. > :05:14.Sweden. A controlled explosion has been

:05:15. > :05:17.carried out in the centre of Norway's capital,

:05:18. > :05:19.Oslo, after police found The area has been sealed off

:05:20. > :05:24.while investigations continue. The US military has ordered a Navy

:05:25. > :05:34.strike group to move towards the Korean peninsula,

:05:35. > :05:36.amid growing concerns about North Korea's missile

:05:37. > :05:38.and nuclear weapons programme. US Pacific Command described

:05:39. > :05:41.the deployment as a "prudent measure to maintain readiness

:05:42. > :05:45.in the region". President Trump has said

:05:46. > :05:48.the United States is prepared to act alone if necessary to deal

:05:49. > :05:51.with the nuclear threat from North PC Keith Palmer, who was killed

:05:52. > :05:56.in the Westminster attack last month, will today

:05:57. > :05:58.receive a rare honour. The Queen has given her consent

:05:59. > :06:03.for his coffin to lay at rest at the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft

:06:04. > :06:07.in the Palace of Westminster. His funeral takes place tomorrow

:06:08. > :06:20.afternoon at Southwark The 48-year-old father and husband,

:06:21. > :06:27.PC Keith Palmer had been a policeman for 15 years. He was stabbed by

:06:28. > :06:33.Khalid Masood during the Westminster terror attack, as he stood guard

:06:34. > :06:38.outside the houses of Parliament. PC Palmer was one of four people

:06:39. > :06:43.killed, while a fifth died in hospital just a few days ago. Later

:06:44. > :06:50.today PC Palmer's Coughlin will be taken to rest at Chapel of St Mary

:06:51. > :06:54.Undercroft in a Palace of Westminster. It is a rare honour and

:06:55. > :06:57.one only done with the consent of the Queen. The former Prime Minister

:06:58. > :07:05.Baroness Thatcher and Tony Benn are the only people in recent times to

:07:06. > :07:09.have laid bare two. Tomorrow, PC Palmer's coffin will be taken to

:07:10. > :07:19.Southwark Cathedral. As a mark of respect, the Metropolitan police

:07:20. > :07:21.have retired PC Palmer's shoulder number, which will not be reissued

:07:22. > :07:23.to another officer. A man has suffered what police say

:07:24. > :07:26.are life-changing injuries, after acid was thrown

:07:27. > :07:28.at him in north London. His wife and their two year old son

:07:29. > :07:33.suffered minor burns in the attack, which happened at around

:07:34. > :07:35.1:00 yesterday afternoon Police say they want to hear

:07:36. > :07:40.from anyone who saw what happened. Tributes are being paid

:07:41. > :07:43.to the former Radio Two presenter, Brian Matthew, who died

:07:44. > :07:45.yesterday aged 88. His broadcasting career

:07:46. > :07:50.spanned almost 70 years. He's most well known

:07:51. > :07:53.for the 'Sound of the 60s', a programme he presented

:07:54. > :07:56.for 27 years. But it was his first appearance

:07:57. > :08:01.on the 'Saturday Skiffle Club', which caught the ear of producers,

:08:02. > :08:10.as Brian Matthew explained in 2013 It was a wonderful opportunity with

:08:11. > :08:15.that one, because it covered a wide range of the arts and every month or

:08:16. > :08:20.thereabouts we did a live show from the theatre and it amazed me that

:08:21. > :08:26.the vast audience always turned up to wherever we were. I mean, it was

:08:27. > :08:32.an opportunity to see a number of eminent stars, I suppose that was

:08:33. > :08:35.the attraction. But it was a great programme to be associated with.

:08:36. > :08:36.Such an instantly recognisable voice.

:08:37. > :08:39.Those paying tribute to the Radio two broadcaster include

:08:40. > :08:41.musician and lyricist Sir Tim Rice, calling him

:08:42. > :08:45.While Brian Matthew's former colleague at Radio Two,

:08:46. > :08:48.Jeremy Vine, said he'd done everything in broadcasting and met

:08:49. > :08:56.More than 20,000 people, including Princes Charles,

:08:57. > :08:59.William and Harry, will gather in Northern France today to mark

:09:00. > :09:01.the centenary of one of the bloodiest battles

:09:02. > :09:05.Thousands of Scottish and Canadian troops died in four

:09:06. > :09:08.days of fighting in the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

:09:09. > :09:12.Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy reports.

:09:13. > :09:23.A battlefield then, covered with symbolism today. Vimy Ridge, a place

:09:24. > :09:26.of reverie, death and victory. -- bravery. The fighting to take the

:09:27. > :09:32.ridge only lasted four days, but this was just part of the price paid

:09:33. > :09:40.by Allied troops. Overall, the campaign saw 300,000 casualties. The

:09:41. > :09:44.battle of RS saw over 5000 men killed and wounded on average, which

:09:45. > :09:50.gives it a higher daily casualties rate than any of the other famous

:09:51. > :09:55.battles. So it was one of the most intense and brutal campaigns the

:09:56. > :09:59.British army fort. These are scenes from the battlefield. Much of the

:10:00. > :10:04.heavy load to dislodge the Germans from the ridge was shouldered by

:10:05. > :10:07.comedian and Scottish troops. The Canadians on three Victoria crosses

:10:08. > :10:11.on the first day alone. The Scots suffered so many casualties

:10:12. > :10:16.communities back home were shocked. -- Canadians won.

:10:17. > :10:24.Today's event, here being rehearsed, will be witnessed by Prince Charles,

:10:25. > :10:31.Prince William and Prince Harry, as well as 25,000 guests. All those

:10:32. > :10:39.attending will be sat here in front of the striking monument, soaring

:10:40. > :10:42.out of the ridge itself and dedicated to those who died. It's

:10:43. > :10:48.humbling scale a symbol of losses on both sides. Every kind of weapon was

:10:49. > :10:55.used here and although World War I would come to a close the following

:10:56. > :10:58.year, this battle showed its horrors were drawn out to the end.

:10:59. > :11:01.People caught fly-tipping will have to help councils clean up litter,

:11:02. > :11:07.under new proposals by the government.

:11:08. > :11:10.It says fly tippers cost 50 million a year in England

:11:11. > :11:13.and the number of instances of rubbish being illegally dumped

:11:14. > :11:17.by roads or in parks is on the increase.

:11:18. > :11:24.The crew onboard a Turkish Airlines flight ended up having to look

:11:25. > :11:27.after one more passenger than they bargained for,

:11:28. > :11:31.Cabin crew helped to deliver the baby girl after the mother went

:11:32. > :11:36.The journey from Guinea to Burkina Faso was only just over

:11:37. > :11:50.two hours long, so, as you can see, things happened rather quickly!

:11:51. > :11:57.It must have come as a bit of a shock. I wonder what nationality is

:11:58. > :12:03.the baby? I don't know! Dual nationality? Free flights on Turkish

:12:04. > :12:04.airlines for life! Imagine!

:12:05. > :12:08.Let's take a look at this morning's papers.

:12:09. > :12:15.We've been talking about the continuing situation with Syria and

:12:16. > :12:18.Russia. Russia accused of complicity in the war crimes, that some the

:12:19. > :12:26.Sunday Times. The picture is of one of the race-goers at Aintree

:12:27. > :12:28.yesterday, cheering on One For Arthur, perhaps.

:12:29. > :12:32.And Michael Fallon writing inside the Sunday Times this morning on

:12:33. > :12:39.that issue. It is also the lead on the Sunday Telegraph. Boris Johnson,

:12:40. > :12:44.Russia must leave Syria. A message that President Assad must depart the

:12:45. > :12:47.country, although this is a conversation we have had many times

:12:48. > :12:51.before and one we seem to be returning to once again.

:12:52. > :12:59.The Observer has a picture of the Grand National. A picture of One For

:13:00. > :13:05.Arthur winning. And the story is about the call for

:13:06. > :13:08.an enquiry into an anti- Jeremy Corbyn plot.

:13:09. > :13:16.Finally, Boris Johnson makes the front page of the Mail on Sunday.

:13:17. > :13:22.Boris the Poodle. That was the name given to him by the leader of the

:13:23. > :13:26.Lib Dems. He said he only pulled out over the say-so of Washington. He

:13:27. > :13:29.said he was doing the bidding of the White House, which has been denied

:13:30. > :13:31.by Foreign Office. We will look at the papers later in

:13:32. > :13:34.the programme. Next week is Holy Week,

:13:35. > :13:42.leading up to Easter Sunday, the day that Christians

:13:43. > :13:44.mark their belief that Jesus rose But research commissioned by the BBC

:13:45. > :13:48.suggests belief in a life after death is by no means

:13:49. > :13:51.limited to people of faith. A study by ComRes found

:13:52. > :13:53.one in five atheists, who say they don't believe in a god,

:13:54. > :13:57.also believe in an afterlife. Our religious affairs correspondent

:13:58. > :14:08.Martin Bashir reports. You are here to worship today! Come

:14:09. > :14:13.on! Worship at hill song church in Surrey isn't just an expression of

:14:14. > :14:18.gratitude for what this Christians say God is doing in their lives now,

:14:19. > :14:22.but also what they say he has in store for them when they die. The

:14:23. > :14:26.Bible says that we will have eternal life, we will enter heaven. It

:14:27. > :14:32.doesn't go into major details, it just says that there will be no more

:14:33. > :14:37.weeping, no more tears. It will be a place of great joy. The confidence

:14:38. > :14:42.of Christians in the existence of heaven is based on what they believe

:14:43. > :14:46.happened at Easter, that Jesus died, was buried and Ben Rosen again.

:14:47. > :14:52.After our life here we go to heaven and it's paradise, perfect, no pain.

:14:53. > :15:00.It's good. The resurrection is a really powerful event for me,

:15:01. > :15:06.because it is Jesus conquering death, essentially. That gives us

:15:07. > :15:12.life. But what of those don't claim to have any religious faith. --

:15:13. > :15:17.faith? The BBC poll of 2000 people conducted by ComRes show that just

:15:18. > :15:21.over 30% of those who say they are not religious still believe they

:15:22. > :15:27.will live again after death. Mediums and tarot card readers here in

:15:28. > :15:31.Covent Garden charge of ?45 for 30 minutes and say they can put you in

:15:32. > :15:38.touch with friends and relatives who have passed away. It is hoped that

:15:39. > :15:43.what has left is literally the flesh, the physical body, but they

:15:44. > :15:48.believe that they can still sense and be in contact with the loved

:15:49. > :15:55.ones. It is the hope that they have. A desperate hope? The desperate

:15:56. > :15:59.hope, exactly. The sense that we might be able to live beyond the

:16:00. > :16:03.grave has now made the journey from the spiritual to the scientific

:16:04. > :16:08.community. Companies like this one are now offering to freeze the

:16:09. > :16:13.deceased body, just in case it proves possible to raise the dead in

:16:14. > :16:22.the future. Until that happens, the world's great religions continue to

:16:23. > :16:26.fill the void. So, whether you're planning to attend church during

:16:27. > :16:32.holy week or visit a medium, our shared beliefs may be closer than we

:16:33. > :16:34.realised. That humanity has a sense that this isn't all there is. Even

:16:35. > :16:47.though it's tough to prove. We hope you have been enjoying the

:16:48. > :16:53.glorious weather over the past few days. We can see what is happening

:16:54. > :17:03.outside the windows. Greater Manchester. Misty and hazy outside.

:17:04. > :17:08.It will be another good one. For most of us. Yesterday, almost all of

:17:09. > :17:13.us got warmth and sunshine. Today, fortunes become more divided the

:17:14. > :17:21.further south and east you are. And other sunny day. Even warmer if

:17:22. > :17:27.anything. Things will be clouding over in this area through the day.

:17:28. > :17:30.Weather will be cooler. This will spoil the party across the

:17:31. > :17:33.north-western areas through today. Further south and east, high

:17:34. > :17:41.precious ill holding on. That means plenty of sunshine. Hazy. Odd mist

:17:42. > :17:46.and fog around. That will clear quickly. For many, we keep hold of

:17:47. > :17:51.the sunshine, especially for east England and Wales. Further west,

:17:52. > :17:54.more cloud. We will see rain in the afternoon getting through Northern

:17:55. > :17:59.Ireland and western Scotland. Some heavy for a while. Temperatures,

:18:00. > :18:05.that bit lower, eight, nine, 10 degrees in the west. Eastern

:18:06. > :18:12.Scotland. Cloud will increase in western England and Wales and parts

:18:13. > :18:17.of Cornwall. In the sunshine, central and eastern areas, they

:18:18. > :18:22.could well get up to 25, possibly even 26. This evening and tonight,

:18:23. > :18:27.it is all about this weather front, which will be tracking its way south

:18:28. > :18:34.and east. As it goes, the rain will fizzle. Notice this. It will sink

:18:35. > :18:39.south and east. It will introduce cool north-westerly winds and cooler

:18:40. > :18:47.air to all of us. Temperatures by tomorrow morning, 4-9. Also some

:18:48. > :18:51.showers. Tomorrow, a very different feeling. We get into the cool

:18:52. > :18:55.north-westerly wind. Fair amounts of dry weather. Showers as well. Some

:18:56. > :18:59.of those showers could even be wintry, believe it or not, across

:19:00. > :19:06.the far north of Scotland. Despite the sunshine in the south, say

:19:07. > :19:10.goodbye to 25, 26. I think 15 is the highest temperature we will see. So

:19:11. > :19:15.I guess the message is make the most of the warmth while we haven't. We

:19:16. > :19:19.will do our best. It is always the same in this country, make the most

:19:20. > :19:25.of it while it is there. We will be back with the news at 630. Now on

:19:26. > :19:34.BBC News, it is time for the Film Review.

:19:35. > :19:37.Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

:19:38. > :19:39.To take us through this week's cinema releases,

:19:40. > :19:52.We have I Am Not Your Negro, which is an Oscar-nominated

:19:53. > :19:56.We have Raw, which is a real breathtaking debut feature.

:19:57. > :19:58.And A Quiet Passion, Terence Davies' film about Emily

:19:59. > :20:16.And I Am Not Your Negro, billed as a documentary.

:20:17. > :20:18.Is it solidly a documentary, a funny genre?

:20:19. > :20:22.Well, basically what it is if it's based on an unfinished project that

:20:23. > :20:25.James Baldwin had started working on, to tell the story of America

:20:26. > :20:28.through the story of three men, Medgar Evers, Malcom X

:20:29. > :20:32.And so what you get is the film is narrated by Samuel L Jackson,

:20:33. > :20:35.and it mixes news footage, reportage, clips from movies,

:20:36. > :20:38.clips from television programmes and it puts together basically

:20:39. > :20:41.a narrative which tells the story in a way which is both polemical

:20:42. > :20:49.One of the outstanding features is some of the footage of Baldwin

:20:50. > :20:51.himself, who comes across as a brilliant orator

:20:52. > :21:05.I have more in common with a black scholar than I have with a white man

:21:06. > :21:10.And you have more in common with a white author than you have

:21:11. > :21:12.with someone who is against all literature.

:21:13. > :21:14.So why must you always concentrate on colour,

:21:15. > :21:17.There are other ways of connecting men.

:21:18. > :21:22.When I left this country in 1948, I left this country with one reason

:21:23. > :21:28.I might have gone to Hong Kong, I might have gone to Timbuktu.

:21:29. > :21:37.I had a theory that nothing worse could happen to me

:21:38. > :21:40.there that had already happened to me here.

:21:41. > :21:42.You talk about making it as a writer about yourself.

:21:43. > :21:46.You have to be able then to turn all the intent with which you live,

:21:47. > :21:49.because once you turn on your back on this society,

:21:50. > :21:53.You can see it seems really, really urgent, really engaging,

:21:54. > :22:00.The way in which they mix news footage and television and films.

:22:01. > :22:03.There is a very coherent argument, which is about the sort of nature

:22:04. > :22:07.of America, which seems every bit as pertinent now as it did when this

:22:08. > :22:13.The thing that was most striking about it is,

:22:14. > :22:15.on the one hand, you asked, is it a documentary.

:22:16. > :22:28.It's basically it's a visual essay that's put together

:22:29. > :22:33.No, it doesn't and that's what's so brilliant about it.

:22:34. > :22:38.You end up feeling that what you are seeing is a visual

:22:39. > :22:41.representation of an argument that may have been laid down a literature

:22:42. > :22:43.and really engaging, really as I said timely.

:22:44. > :22:50.Put together in a way that absolutely grabs the audience's

:22:51. > :22:52.attention and leads them through this story.

:22:53. > :22:56.It was up against very strong competition in the Oscars,

:22:57. > :23:00.but it's a really good piece of work that is accessible to everybody,

:23:01. > :23:03.And has done really well at the box office.

:23:04. > :23:06.Perhaps more than they expected, which is quite heartening as well.

:23:07. > :23:09.Now, look, Mr Kermode, because when we decided

:23:10. > :23:11.that we would like to continue working together,

:23:12. > :23:14.I said your challenge of course was to try to get me

:23:15. > :23:17.Well, thanks for doing that on week one.

:23:18. > :23:27.It's a French-Belgian cause celebre, from the writer-director Julia

:23:28. > :23:30.The story of a young woman who was a vegetarian,

:23:31. > :23:33.who goes to that school and there are these hazing rituals.

:23:34. > :23:36.One such ritual, she is forced to eat a raw rabbit.

:23:37. > :23:40.She says, I'm not going to do that, I'm a vegetarian, but then

:23:41. > :23:42.she starts to develop previously suppressed appetites.

:23:43. > :23:46.The film turns into, on the one hand, a horror movie,

:23:47. > :23:48.that refers to movies like I suppose Trouble Every Day,

:23:49. > :23:51.and to some extent Carrie, We Are What We Are.

:23:52. > :23:55.But on the other hand is a story about a young woman attempting

:23:56. > :23:58.to fit in when she is a misfit, about somebody who really wants

:23:59. > :24:01.to be part of a group but discovers that she's something

:24:02. > :24:04.It's very metaphorical and allegorical and on some level

:24:05. > :24:06.the director described it as a modern tragedy,

:24:07. > :24:18.It's also got a fairy tale element to it.

:24:19. > :24:20.Yes, there are visceral things in it.

:24:21. > :24:22.Yes, there are moments in which she will gasp and recoil,

:24:23. > :24:26.There's really heartfelt emotion in it.

:24:27. > :24:29.It has meaty substance, pun fully intended.

:24:30. > :24:38.Yes. I hear you. But I also read that people have been actually

:24:39. > :24:42.physically sick in the cinema. There have been stories of people fainting

:24:43. > :24:46.but I am sure they are exaggerated. I am sure they are exaggerated to be

:24:47. > :24:50.give it a go, you will like they lot stop at let us see how long we

:24:51. > :24:59.worked together before I have the guts to see it. I am looking forward

:25:00. > :25:08.to A Quiet Passion. Terrence. He is a genuine amazing director. A young

:25:09. > :25:13.poet is told early on that classics of every language of the works of

:25:14. > :25:18.man, not women, says the editor. She is a rebellious spirit, Emily

:25:19. > :25:23.Dickinson, and she is wrestling with the eternal soul and religion and

:25:24. > :25:27.society and also the lack of recognition in her lifetime. Sushi

:25:28. > :25:39.is finding solace in her family and her friend. Here is a clips. -- so

:25:40. > :25:45.she. This is my third commencement ball. And not a hint of romance. Do

:25:46. > :25:53.you suppose that men are frightened of a woman who teaches and is

:25:54. > :26:04.independent? Men are feelers, aren't they? In war. Sometimes. In love,

:26:05. > :26:14.never. Look at that divine creature. What a noble and he has. Like a

:26:15. > :26:22.Roman Emperor. Nero. I think Cynthia Nixon is terrific and Kathleen

:26:23. > :26:28.Bailey as well. It is funny. That is what I like. There is light and

:26:29. > :26:38.laughter. It is also profound. It is a film about poetry. If you know

:26:39. > :26:43.Terrence's work, the way he moves a camera slowly around the room or

:26:44. > :26:47.around the theatre, he is someone who at an early age well in love

:26:48. > :26:53.with cinema, sitting on a balcony as a child looking at the screen. --

:26:54. > :26:59.fell. You can tell this from every shot. So what happened? She became

:27:00. > :27:04.reclusive? She became old and frail and lived in the same house for

:27:05. > :27:08.years and years. Is there the sense of claustrophobia as a result about

:27:09. > :27:14.this? There is to all of his films. What he does brilliantly is right

:27:15. > :27:19.about lives. She expresses herself group poetry. At one point she says

:27:20. > :27:23.there is posterity, but I want to be recognised in my lifetime. Actually

:27:24. > :27:29.it all came later on. This is classic Terrence Davis material.

:27:30. > :27:35.Claustrophobic circumstances with vibrant inner lives. As I said, you

:27:36. > :27:40.have to remember, the poster played this up, it is very funny. There is

:27:41. > :27:54.a lot of laughter. It is tragic and spiritual and transcendent as well.

:27:55. > :27:58.Think about it. In a week in which this and Raw and others, it is the

:27:59. > :28:02.full plate of cinema. I suggest you see all of them, because you will

:28:03. > :28:09.get something from all of them. A long week ahead of the Get Out. It

:28:10. > :28:21.is divisive. An absurdist action movie set entirely in a warehouse

:28:22. > :28:27.with answer but don't -- unsympathetic characters. The idea

:28:28. > :28:34.is, it is a whole movie of a final shootout. It is terrific cinema. It

:28:35. > :28:38.is again much funnier than you would expect from the subject matter. I

:28:39. > :28:45.will have to take your word on that once. What about DVDs for those who

:28:46. > :28:50.want to stay in? Moana. Classic Disney. A Polynesian adventurer who

:28:51. > :28:56.sets out to save her homeland. Absolutely jaw-dropping animation.

:28:57. > :29:00.Beautiful storytelling. A film made with real love and affection that

:29:01. > :29:10.you could watch at any age at all from 9- 19. It is a real winner. I

:29:11. > :29:19.was going to say. It is and our children only? -- aimed at. Anyone

:29:20. > :29:23.of any age can sit down and be overwhelmed. I will discover that my

:29:24. > :29:28.niece has already seen a ten times, probably. They are always watching

:29:29. > :29:34.these. Thank you so much. And a quick reminder that you can find all

:29:35. > :29:43.of the reviews on line. The usual address. Bbc.com. You will also find

:29:44. > :29:48.all of our previous programme is on the BBC iPlayer. Of course. I have

:29:49. > :29:53.my task for the weekend. Enjoy all of your ten are going. --

:29:54. > :30:17.cinemagoing. Goodbye. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:30:18. > :30:20.with Roger Johnson and Rachel Coming up before 7am,

:30:21. > :30:28.Ben will have the weather for you. But first, a summary of this

:30:29. > :30:31.morning's main news. The UK Government is leading

:30:32. > :30:34.growing criticism of Russia over its continued support

:30:35. > :30:36.for the Syrian president, Sir Michael Fallon,

:30:37. > :30:38.the defence secretary, has claimed the Kremlin

:30:39. > :30:41.is responsible for the 80 civilian deaths in a chemical weapons attack

:30:42. > :30:46.in Syria on Tuesday. Last night Russian television showed

:30:47. > :30:50.jets taking off from an air base hit with US cruise missiles

:30:51. > :30:55.after the attack. Thousands of people are expected

:30:56. > :30:58.to gather at services in Stockholm later, to remember those killed

:30:59. > :31:00.in Friday's terror attack. Five people died when a lorry

:31:01. > :31:03.was driven into them Police are still investigating

:31:04. > :31:07.whether a device later found onboard A 39-year-old man, thought to be

:31:08. > :31:15.the driver, remains in custody. A controlled explosion has been

:31:16. > :31:18.carried out in the centre of Norway's capital,

:31:19. > :31:19.Oslo, after police found The area has been sealed off

:31:20. > :31:25.while investigations continue. The US military has ordered a Navy

:31:26. > :31:31.strike group to move towards the Korean peninsula,

:31:32. > :31:33.amid growing concerns about North Korea's missile

:31:34. > :31:37.and nuclear weapons programme. US Pacific Command described

:31:38. > :31:40.the deployment as a "prudent measure to maintain readiness

:31:41. > :31:46.in the region". President Trump has said

:31:47. > :31:49.the United States is prepared to act alone if necessary to deal

:31:50. > :31:52.with the nuclear threat from North PC Keith Palmer, who was killed

:31:53. > :31:55.in the Westminster attack last month, will today

:31:56. > :31:57.receive a rare honour. The Queen has given her consent

:31:58. > :32:01.for his coffin to lay at rest at the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft

:32:02. > :32:07.in the Palace of Westminster. His funeral will be held tomorrow

:32:08. > :32:13.afternoon at Southwark Cathedral. More than 20,000 people will gather

:32:14. > :32:16.in Northern France today to commemorate the 100th anniversary

:32:17. > :32:19.of one of the bloodiest battles Princes Charles, William and Harry

:32:20. > :32:23.will be among those attending the event to mark the Battle of

:32:24. > :32:26.Vimy Ridge, near the city of Arras. It was a hugely significant battle

:32:27. > :32:30.for Scottish and Canadian troops, People caught fly-tipping will have

:32:31. > :32:37.to help councils clean up litter, under new proposals

:32:38. > :32:39.by the government. It says fly tippers cost ?50

:32:40. > :32:42.million a year in England and the number of instances

:32:43. > :32:45.of rubbish being illegally dumped by roads or in parks

:32:46. > :32:51.is on the increase. Monaco-style Grand Prix events

:32:52. > :32:54.could be hosted on roads in England, under new laws coming

:32:55. > :33:00.into force on tomorrow. They will allow motorsport promoters

:33:01. > :33:03.to apply for permission from local authorities to close public roads

:33:04. > :33:10.so they can host races. The government said the move

:33:11. > :33:12.could increase tourism. The final decision on whether a race

:33:13. > :33:27.is safe to proceed would be made It promises to be an interesting

:33:28. > :33:31.spectacle if it happens. It is the Chinese Grand Prix today. I am sure

:33:32. > :33:33.we will mention it at some point in the bulletin. But golf tops the

:33:34. > :33:42.bill? Yes, Justin Rose is at the top.

:33:43. > :33:44.Justin Rose has won a major before. He is perfectly poised at the

:33:45. > :33:48.Masters. England's Justin Rose

:33:49. > :33:50.and Spain's Sergio Garcia joint There are plenty of big names

:33:51. > :34:00.just behind them though. The third round of the Masters is

:34:01. > :34:05.known as moving day and Justin Rose moved right to the front of the

:34:06. > :34:09.queue at Augusta. After a slow and steady start for the Olympic

:34:10. > :34:15.champion, five birdies on the back nine help into a super 67 and he now

:34:16. > :34:19.sits joint top at six under par. The key for me was staying patient early

:34:20. > :34:23.in the round. This is a golf course where you have to pick your moments

:34:24. > :34:26.and that's what worked well for me today and I am sure that will be

:34:27. > :34:30.somewhat the gameplan tomorrow. Perhaps Englishmen can discuss the

:34:31. > :34:35.gameplan with his playing partner, Sergio Garcia, are who is still

:34:36. > :34:44.looking for his first major. -- who is. In the creek! Not so, the water

:34:45. > :34:49.somehow avoided and look how the Spaniards profited. A beautiful shot

:34:50. > :34:55.and, like Justin Rose, he too is on six under. But they have quite a

:34:56. > :34:59.crowd chasing them, including Rickie Fowler and former champion Jordan

:35:00. > :35:05.Spieth. He hit nine shots on the 15th in the first round. He really

:35:06. > :35:10.is a remarkable young man, an amazing golfer. And it was an

:35:11. > :35:16.equally successful day for Lee Westwood. He is one under and still

:35:17. > :35:20.has an outside chance. As does world number two Rory McIlroy. Six shots

:35:21. > :35:24.back, but it could have been better. A double bogey at the seventh

:35:25. > :35:32.damaging what have otherwise been a good ground. No moving day for Rory,

:35:33. > :35:36.but perhaps he will come do to make -- come good on proving day.

:35:37. > :35:39.One for Arthur, ridden by Derek Fox, won yesterday's

:35:40. > :35:42.It was the first winner trained in Scotland for 38 years.

:35:43. > :35:46.The 14 to one shot finished well clear of the favourite Blaklion,

:35:47. > :35:50.Fox, the jockey, had looked set to miss the race,

:35:51. > :35:55.only returning to the saddle this week following injury.

:35:56. > :35:58.All 40 horses who started the four and half mile race

:35:59. > :36:09.It is unbelievable. We couldn't believe when we came up to the lane

:36:10. > :36:15.and it is hard to put into words what it was the best feeling. Just

:36:16. > :36:19.as any jock who wants to win the Grand National, you just feel very

:36:20. > :36:21.lucky to win one. It is the first time in my career riding it and it

:36:22. > :36:23.is unbelievable. Chelsea maintained their lead

:36:24. > :36:28.at the top of the Premier League Marcos Alonso rounded off

:36:29. > :36:32.the scoring following an own goal The Blues are seven points clear,

:36:33. > :36:39.with seven games left to play. Tottenham remain in second

:36:40. > :36:41.place, trying to keep Dele Alli scored the pick

:36:42. > :36:45.of the goals at White Hart Lane It was a sixth win in a row

:36:46. > :36:56.for Mauricio Pochettino's men. In the day's other results,

:36:57. > :36:58.Liverpool remain third after they won away at Stoke 2-1,

:36:59. > :37:01.Manchester City stay fourth Middlesbrough drew with

:37:02. > :37:05.Burnley West Brom lost at home to Southampton and

:37:06. > :37:07.West Ham beat Swansea. Celtic kept up their hopes of going

:37:08. > :37:10.a whole Scottish Premiership season unbeaten, with a 3-1 win

:37:11. > :37:13.at home to Kilmarnock. Hearts ended a run of three straight

:37:14. > :37:17.defeats with a 1-0 win over Dundee. This finish from Tavares Cruz

:37:18. > :37:19.da Silva settled it. It was a sixth straight

:37:20. > :37:24.loss for Dundee. Bottom side Inverness were well

:37:25. > :37:30.beaten at home by St Johnstone. And Partick were 1-0 winners

:37:31. > :37:33.at home to Motherwell. Great Britain have failed to reach

:37:34. > :37:36.the semi-finals of the Davis Cup Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot had

:37:37. > :37:41.to win their doubles match against France to stand

:37:42. > :37:46.a chance, but lost. Nicolas Mahut and Julienne Benneatau

:37:47. > :37:49.took the first set before Murray But it proved to be the only set

:37:50. > :38:00.Britain won with the French taking the crucial points

:38:01. > :38:02.and the next two sets. Saracens kept up the pressure

:38:03. > :38:04.on Premiership leaders Wasps with a 40-19 victory against London

:38:05. > :38:07.rivals Harlequins at Wembley. There were more than 70,000 fans

:38:08. > :38:10.there to witness Mike Rhodes sealing it with this run and score

:38:11. > :38:20.for Sarries' third try of the game. The win secures their

:38:21. > :38:22.place in the play-offs. A drop goal in the final minute

:38:23. > :38:26.of the match helped Leinster strengthen their grip

:38:27. > :38:29.on the top of the Pro 12. They beat Ospreys at

:38:30. > :38:31.the Liberty Stadium. Leinster's replacement fly half

:38:32. > :38:34.Ross Byrne found space for a shot at goal to put the Irish side ahead

:38:35. > :38:37.with overtime approaching. Ospreys then missed

:38:38. > :38:39.a kick of their own. 20-18 was how it

:38:40. > :38:41.finished to Leinster. British Olympic hero Nicola Adams

:38:42. > :38:44.won by a unanimous points decision in her first professional

:38:45. > :38:46.boxing fight. The two-time Olympic champion beat

:38:47. > :38:48.the Argentine fighter Virginia Carcamo at

:38:49. > :38:49.the Manchester Arena, winning all four rounds

:38:50. > :38:57.with the judges. Having dominated in the amateur

:38:58. > :39:00.ranks, she turned professional earlier this year, signing

:39:01. > :39:08.with promoter Frank Warren. It was really good. Really enjoyed

:39:09. > :39:14.myself, loved the crowd. I like entertaining. Yeah, it was an

:39:15. > :39:19.amazing experience for the first time. I did I little bit hard to get

:39:20. > :39:24.the stoppage, but it will come with experience. The more times I box and

:39:25. > :39:27.the more rounds I get in either get used to settling down and placing my

:39:28. > :39:34.punches a bit more. Great stuff. Just a reminder, the

:39:35. > :39:38.Chinese Grand Prix starts at 7am this morning. Of course Lewis

:39:39. > :39:44.Hamilton is on poll. It is raining, to which be fascinating.

:39:45. > :39:47.Nice to see Nicola Adams' smile. Isn't she lovely? Good luck to her.

:39:48. > :39:50.The stars of the stage will be out for tonight's Olivier Awards

:39:51. > :39:53.in London, but there are questions over whether the separate categories

:39:54. > :39:55.for actors and actresses should be scrapped.

:39:56. > :39:57.Calls for non-gendered prizes at ceremonies such

:39:58. > :40:02.as the Emmy's and Oscars are growing.

:40:03. > :40:05.And this weekend, the MTV Movie and TV awards have announced they'll

:40:06. > :40:08.be ditching separate prizes for men and women at next month's event.

:40:09. > :40:11.In a moment we'll be asking how it could work,

:40:12. > :40:21.First, here's what people out on London's West End make of it.

:40:22. > :40:28.At the end of the day how you look but it is there shouldn't be a

:40:29. > :40:32.division between an actor and an actress. I think it always seems to

:40:33. > :40:38.be actors are made a big deal of than an actress and I think you put

:40:39. > :40:49.everyone together. I think there is less chance of... If I was an

:40:50. > :40:55.actress I would be a bit annoyed. Whoever is talented should get the

:40:56. > :41:00.award. We are trying to live in a diverse, multicultural, equal world

:41:01. > :41:05.and by separating genders we are still showing that there are

:41:06. > :41:11.differences between men and women, when there aren't. So why not? Fair

:41:12. > :41:15.game for everyone. The main thing is talent recognition. As long as the

:41:16. > :41:24.right person wins, I don't see any issue with it.

:41:25. > :41:28.Joining us now is the actor Joel Parry, and the arts critic

:41:29. > :41:35.Kate Bassett, in our London newsroom.

:41:36. > :41:43.Joel, you're an actor. Good idea to get rid of separate categories? I

:41:44. > :41:46.generally think that any kind of movement towards inclusivity for

:41:47. > :41:51.minorities, people who don't feel they are represented, is a positive

:41:52. > :41:56.thing and it wouldn't be the first body to do this, the national

:41:57. > :42:03.television awards did about ten years ago and the Grammys have done

:42:04. > :42:09.it. So it is great that we are discussing it. I guess the argument

:42:10. > :42:12.is, Kate, that by doing away with separate categories perhaps you do

:42:13. > :42:16.away with having equal the present occasion. Would that be your

:42:17. > :42:21.concern? It isn't. I think it's a good idea overall. I think when you

:42:22. > :42:25.think about it in detail there are a few drawbacks. One of the potential

:42:26. > :42:33.drawbacks is you get less people nominated. So if you have only one

:42:34. > :42:36.best actor award, the shortlist will be shorter and I think it's good to

:42:37. > :42:40.recognise as many people. But perhaps the solution is to create a

:42:41. > :42:44.new categories, for example. Some people might think shortening an

:42:45. > :42:50.award ceremony is not necessarily a bad idea! Yes. I think it's just

:42:51. > :42:54.about... There aren't that many awards and there are a lot of very

:42:55. > :42:57.talented people, so it would be good to have a shortlist. But when it is

:42:58. > :43:02.announced I think you get the shortlist. This has all come about,

:43:03. > :43:11.Joel, because of a contact that was made with Kate Dylan who stars in

:43:12. > :43:15.Billions. She was written to because she is not gender specific and they

:43:16. > :43:22.asked each category she might want to go into. It shows the organisers

:43:23. > :43:27.are listening. Absolutely. From what I've read about that situation, it

:43:28. > :43:31.is clear they were listening and they were open to the suggestion.

:43:32. > :43:37.They said they were happy for them to be in whatever category they

:43:38. > :43:44.choose. I suppose the Oscars was the big one. If you are going to make

:43:45. > :43:53.these changes, that's the ultimate one. Yes, and it is so steeped in

:43:54. > :43:58.division. I think the more we can talk about it the more comfortable

:43:59. > :44:03.with real feel and we will know what kind of vocabulary to use. The more

:44:04. > :44:06.likely we are to get there. When it comes to the Olivier Awards,

:44:07. > :44:12.specifically looking at what's going on in stage productions, what's the

:44:13. > :44:15.gender balance across-the-board? Not just amongst performance but amongst

:44:16. > :44:19.production staff as well. I think that's quite complex and it probably

:44:20. > :44:25.depends from industry to industry. In most of the arts, we've realised

:44:26. > :44:29.that there is still quite a lot of work to do in terms of gender

:44:30. > :44:32.equality. I think that's changing and that is being proactively

:44:33. > :44:39.pushed, there is still an issue about it. So I think it is not a

:44:40. > :44:43.world where we are ready to have no awards that are gender specific, but

:44:44. > :44:47.I think in terms of the big awards for Acting Ido the wide... I've

:44:48. > :44:53.never seen white there's really a gender division. I wonder, you could

:44:54. > :44:56.almost take it the other way and say in order to promote female directors

:44:57. > :44:59.you could almost have a best male and best female director award. You

:45:00. > :45:05.think that's something that could work? I suppose I think if the big

:45:06. > :45:11.awards go non- binary that would be beneficial, cause I think we should

:45:12. > :45:15.try and move towards... Well, we already have moved towards work not

:45:16. > :45:20.being judged by gender. What I think there is room for awards...

:45:21. > :45:24.Different awards to be promoting and encouraging undervalued and

:45:25. > :45:29.underrepresented groups. Very interesting. Interesting way in

:45:30. > :45:38.which things are moving. I find the whole actor, actress... Actor is a

:45:39. > :45:44.very accepted term. Interesting. Thanks very much.

:45:45. > :45:52.And now for the weather. Looking pretty good. How is it looking for

:45:53. > :45:56.the rest of the weekend? Well, it is looking pretty good for some of us

:45:57. > :46:02.today. Yesterday, just about all of us got some warmth and sunshine,

:46:03. > :46:09.today, fortunes are divided. Many start with this. This picture was

:46:10. > :46:16.from Essex. The further south and east, you get to keep the sunshine

:46:17. > :46:18.today. Warmer than yesterday. North and west, especially Northern

:46:19. > :46:24.Ireland in Scotland, things clouding over. Rain to the cooler. That is

:46:25. > :46:29.because of this weather front to the north-west. High-pressure to the

:46:30. > :46:32.south and east. That is where we will have the warmth in the

:46:33. > :46:36.sunshine. One or two fog patches around. They will clear. As you can

:46:37. > :46:47.see, based in Brighton is for most of us. Things changing out west. --

:46:48. > :46:52.bathed in brightness. The cloud will increase in this area. Rain moving

:46:53. > :46:56.in. Heavy rain for a time. Temperatures dropping away, eight,

:46:57. > :47:01.nine, 10 degrees. Dry for eastern and southern parts of Scotland.

:47:02. > :47:06.Increasingly cloudy. Around the coast of Wales, Devon and Cornwall,

:47:07. > :47:11.as the cloud comes in from the sea, temperatures will drop away. 11 or

:47:12. > :47:16.12 degrees. Further east, sunshine. Highs of 25, maybe even 26 degrees.

:47:17. > :47:21.The weather front through the late afternoon. Working its way across

:47:22. > :47:25.Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some rain at this stage is. As the front

:47:26. > :47:32.south, watch the front of rain, disintegrating. Fizzling away. Cloud

:47:33. > :47:39.going south. Behind that weather front, a cold front. Getting in the

:47:40. > :47:41.cooler air tomorrow morning. 5-9. Through the day tomorrow, a cool

:47:42. > :47:46.north-westerly wind across the country. A lot of dry weather. Fair

:47:47. > :47:51.amount of sunshine. Showers in eastern England as well. There could

:47:52. > :47:58.be wintry, believe it or not, in western Scotland. Look at the

:47:59. > :48:03.temperatures. No more 25s, no more 26s, a bumper back down the reality.

:48:04. > :48:15.Thank you. Get out and enjoy the weather. While we can. -- bump. We

:48:16. > :48:17.will have the headlines soon. But for now, on BBC News, it is time for

:48:18. > :48:34.Click. I will run you a bath

:48:35. > :48:41.and play some relaxing music You have 17,000 Tweets, 16 e-mails,

:48:42. > :48:59.and 105 fake news updates. Your boss sent an e-mail

:49:21. > :49:31.artificially intelligent personal assistants which we can really talk

:49:32. > :49:34.to and who know us better than we know ourselves,

:49:35. > :49:36.like Pretend Rory here. Now, we're not there yet,

:49:37. > :49:49.but we are well on the way. What started on our phones

:49:50. > :49:51.with names like Siri, Cortana, and, uh, "OK,

:49:52. > :49:54.Google," can now control our homes And this week, Google's Home

:49:55. > :50:06.is launched in the UK. Now, it's all very well having these

:50:07. > :50:08.intelligent personal assistants to which we can ask

:50:09. > :50:11.anything into their permanently open ears, but the more we use them,

:50:12. > :50:14.the more trust we are going OK, Google, is Obama

:50:15. > :50:24.planning a coup? For example, in his day job,

:50:25. > :50:28.the BBC's tech correspondent, Rory CJ, recently discovered that

:50:29. > :50:31.you can't always believe Obama may, in fact, be planning

:50:32. > :50:37.a communist coup d'etat at the end That fake news story just happened

:50:42. > :50:51.at some of the other unintended consequences of living

:50:52. > :50:57.with these devices. As we transition from controlling

:50:58. > :50:59.things through screens to using our voice,

:51:00. > :51:01.for those providing services, I'm in the BBC's Blue Room,

:51:02. > :51:09.a space where the broadcaster tests And with voice-assistance,

:51:10. > :51:21.it's not all going smoothly. Alexa, when's the next

:51:22. > :51:23.train to Manchester? Sorry, I didn't understand

:51:24. > :51:25.the question I heard. If you have to find out

:51:26. > :51:29.when the next train to Manchester is, right now you have to say,

:51:30. > :51:32."open the National Rail App, tell me when the next train

:51:33. > :51:35.to Manchester is," and then you have to go through a number

:51:36. > :51:38.of steps to achieve that. You have to remember a number

:51:39. > :51:42.steps to find out content For the default service

:51:43. > :51:46.provider, it's very simple. "Play me from a song," it'll be

:51:47. > :51:49.provided by a certain provider. "Tell me the news," it'll be

:51:50. > :51:52.provided from a certain provider. And that disadvantage applies

:51:53. > :52:00.to search results, too. Up to now, websites aimed to be

:52:01. > :52:03.on the first page of results. With voice assistants,

:52:04. > :52:05.just one answer comes back. Fine, if it's a right-wrong

:52:06. > :52:09.definitive answer you're after, the ones that companies

:52:10. > :52:11.constantly demo. The moon is 384,400

:52:12. > :52:13.kilometres from Earth. More controversial if you are

:52:14. > :52:16.seeking a product or service. For anyone else, how did it

:52:17. > :52:18.get to that position? Only one person can

:52:19. > :52:25.have the first spot. Everyone else will have to figure

:52:26. > :52:28.out what do they do, how do they work with Amazons

:52:29. > :52:31.and Googles to make sure their content and their

:52:32. > :52:33.results appear first. This is not the end of the world,

:52:34. > :52:37.it is just the end of competition Oxford University is home to one

:52:38. > :52:41.of the world's most influential thinkers when it

:52:42. > :52:43.comes to competition. If we use our assistants to buy

:52:44. > :52:50.stuff, Ariel Ezrachi believes there'll be consequences,

:52:51. > :52:52.and they won't be unintended ones. That shift from an on line

:52:53. > :52:55.environment to the digital helper, You have a helper that is

:52:56. > :53:00.voice-activated, you are one step further from the ability to look

:53:01. > :53:02.for outside options. Your ability to check

:53:03. > :53:05.whether the price you received You tell your helper, "Order me one,

:53:06. > :53:10.two, three," and you just assume that the helper will

:53:11. > :53:12.serve your needs. The likelihood is that,

:53:13. > :53:14.in a two-side market, the helper is actually

:53:15. > :53:16.serving the platform. Today, your assumption,

:53:17. > :53:18.our default assumption, is that the price you receive

:53:19. > :53:26.is the competitive price. And you're suggesting

:53:27. > :53:28.that it won't be? Amazon told us "There

:53:29. > :54:03.is lots of potential and room Our job is to innovate on behalf

:54:04. > :54:07.of the customer and then But perhaps what these home

:54:08. > :54:19.assistants are most useful for is what they are becoming most

:54:20. > :54:22.known for, and that's for controlling other

:54:23. > :54:24.things around the house. Look, I know we have

:54:25. > :54:54.not seen each other, and you think I am crazy,

:54:55. > :54:57.but I was just passing by, and... Oh, wait, have you still got that

:54:58. > :55:00.stupid voice control thing, But the lights were real,

:55:01. > :55:33.even though the oven and the front door was faked a little bit by us,

:55:34. > :55:37.to just show you what the potential is of this technology if it cannot

:55:38. > :55:40.recognise your voice. In actual fact, Amazon tell us

:55:41. > :55:43.the unlock feature for doors is not enabled on the Echo,

:55:44. > :55:46.and that may be the biggest admission there is that there's

:55:47. > :55:49.still some work to be done Welcome to the experience

:55:50. > :56:22.of the text adventure. When computing power was limited,

:56:23. > :56:24.the text adventure that players head-scratching puzzles

:56:25. > :56:31.and mysteries, all brought to life by typing instructions

:56:32. > :56:33.into the game. But the reason that I've taken us

:56:34. > :56:35.on this journey down 32 kilobyte by typing instructions

:56:36. > :56:37.into the game. But the reason that I've taken us

:56:38. > :56:41.on this journey down 32 kilobyte It's a game that I've

:56:42. > :56:44.been playing on this, And it's a title that reminds me

:56:45. > :56:48.of those old text adventures Leading you through the Abbey,

:56:49. > :56:51.Abbess approaches one Now, you might think playing a game

:56:52. > :56:58.on one of these is like trying Because the Echo, of course,

:56:59. > :57:03.lacks a screen, or any other way of interacting with it other

:57:04. > :57:06.than barking commands at it. But that is exactly how the game I'm

:57:07. > :57:09.about to play works. The player must solve

:57:10. > :57:26.a murder in a fantasy realm. The game plays like an interactive

:57:27. > :57:29.version of an audio book - you get a bit of dialogue,

:57:30. > :57:32.then it waits for a response. Surprisingly, it commands quite

:57:33. > :57:37.a bit of your attention, and it's quite a relaxing way

:57:38. > :57:40.to play a game, although that relaxing mood is shattered

:57:41. > :57:46.when you hear this... Would you like to talk

:57:47. > :57:59.to the Abbess now? As the action progresses,

:58:00. > :58:26.it can shatter the illusion and become increasingly frustration

:58:27. > :58:28.when it does not understand Which is obviously bit

:58:29. > :58:32.of a problem for a game you play When it does work, though,

:58:33. > :58:53.Runescape on Echo is a fun It also points to the potential

:58:54. > :58:57.these devices have beyond reading at the weather to you or

:58:58. > :58:59.reciting rubbish jokes. Runescape is available by the Skill

:59:00. > :59:21.section of the Alexa app. That is it for the short part of

:59:22. > :59:28.Click this week. The longer one is on line. Follow us on Twitter. Thank

:59:29. > :59:32.you for your interaction with us this week. That included choosing

:59:33. > :59:40.the name of one person, the assistant. State thank you. Thank

:01:52. > :01:53.criticised the Kremlin, saying it was responsible for every

:02:01. > :02:03.of a planned visit to Moscow and is seeking support

:02:04. > :02:11.We can speak now to our political correspondent Susana Mendonca.

:02:12. > :02:19.Good morning. The rhetoric is getting tougher from the British

:02:20. > :02:22.government, but whether or not the Russian government will take any

:02:23. > :02:28.notice remains to be seen. And that's the key question. We are

:02:29. > :02:31.certainly hearing a much tougher stance from Michael Fallon. In the

:02:32. > :02:35.Sunday Times he makes these comments where he basically says that by

:02:36. > :02:41.proxy Russia is responsible for all of those deaths that we saw in Syria

:02:42. > :02:46.last week. He says that what Russia needs to do is it needs to bring

:02:47. > :02:53.Assad to heal and exert pressure on him. Michael Fallon also says that

:02:54. > :02:58.Russia is failing in its obligations. Back in 2013 it was

:02:59. > :03:02.supposed to deal with trying to destroy all of the chemical weapons

:03:03. > :03:06.that Syria held and Michael Fallon is basically saying that Russia has

:03:07. > :03:10.failed to do that. What the British government wants to see is a

:03:11. > :03:14.situation where Assad is no longer the leader in Syria, where there is

:03:15. > :03:21.some kind of political solution, but also where Russia intervenes and

:03:22. > :03:25.puts pressure on Assad. At the same time, Michael Fallon has renewed his

:03:26. > :03:33.support for the US action in Syria. He said that President Trump took

:03:34. > :03:37.the right action, it was a co-ordinated approach, and that was

:03:38. > :03:41.something he had to do because of the severity of the situation that

:03:42. > :03:46.we saw with those gas attacks in Syria last week. At the same time

:03:47. > :03:52.the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was supposed to be going to Russia

:03:53. > :03:56.tomorrow. That trip has been cancelled. He has been criticised by

:03:57. > :04:00.the Liberal Democrats, who have been describing him as an American

:04:01. > :04:04.poodle, basically handing dealings with Russia over to the Americans,

:04:05. > :04:08.because they will be going there later in the week. But what we've

:04:09. > :04:13.heard from Boris Johnson's team is he is now trying to work on some

:04:14. > :04:17.kind of co-ordinated effort. The G7 group of industrialised nations will

:04:18. > :04:21.be meeting in Italy on Tuesday. We understand he is trying to get them

:04:22. > :04:25.to come up with a co-ordinated response that they can put to Russia

:04:26. > :04:27.and really apply more pressure. we will follow that later in the week.

:04:28. > :04:28.Thanks very much. Thousands of people are expected

:04:29. > :04:31.to gather at services in Stockholm later, to remember those killed

:04:32. > :04:33.in Friday's terror attack. Four people died when a lorry

:04:34. > :04:36.was driven into them Police are still investigating

:04:37. > :04:40.whether a device later found onboard Our reporter Maddy Savage

:04:41. > :04:54.is in Stockholm. People are already out and about on

:04:55. > :04:58.the streets. This is the very road that the truck ploughed into on

:04:59. > :05:03.Friday. As you say, Sweden is one of the most secular countries in the

:05:04. > :05:07.world, people are expected to bring candles to special church ceremonies

:05:08. > :05:10.around the country. There will also be a peaceful non- political rally

:05:11. > :05:15.about 100 metres away from here, where we are expected to hear music

:05:22. > :05:24.the shop the Hind me that the lorry smashed into released a statement

:05:25. > :05:29.saying that they would offer the items half price for people today.

:05:30. > :05:33.-- behind me. A statement to some considered as insensitive. It is a

:05:34. > :05:36.store owned by one of the richest families in Sweden. They've

:05:37. > :05:40.apologised for anything that may have caused offence. Security

:05:41. > :05:44.remains tight across the capital, but it certainly feels much calmer

:08:28. > :08:31.The Battle of Arras saw over 4,000 men killed and wounded on average,

:08:32. > :08:34.which gives it a higher daily casualties rate than any

:08:35. > :08:36.of the other famous battles, like the Somme.

:08:37. > :08:39.So it was one of the most intense and brutal campaigns

:08:40. > :08:45.These are scenes from the battlefield.

:08:46. > :08:48.Much of the heavy load to dislodge the Germans from the ridge

:08:49. > :08:53.was shouldered by comedian and Scottish troops.

:10:06. > :10:08.But it was his first appearance on the Saturday Skiffle Club

:10:09. > :10:11.which caught the ear of producers, as Brian Matthew explained in 2013

:10:12. > :10:21.It was a wonderful opportunity with that one, because it covered

:10:22. > :10:27.a wide range of the arts and every month or thereabouts we did a live

:10:28. > :10:33.show from a theatre and it amazed me that a vast audience

:10:34. > :10:35.always turned up and filled that theatre, wherever we were.

:10:36. > :10:39.I mean, it was an opportunity to see a number of eminent stars,

:10:40. > :10:43.But it was a great programme to be associated with.

:11:28. > :11:30.and the number of instances of rubbish being illegally dumped

:12:07. > :12:10.first! Very true. Perennial problem. Good

:12:11. > :12:16.morning, this is BBC Breakfast. It's been a violent week

:12:17. > :12:19.in the six-year long Syrian war, with civilians being targeted

:12:20. > :12:21.with chemical weapons, and an airbase hit by cruise

:12:22. > :12:25.missiles from the United States. Abdel Hameed Alyousef lost 20

:12:26. > :12:28.members of his family in the chemical attack,

:12:29. > :12:32.including his nine-month old twins. It was photos of the twins that

:12:33. > :12:35.helped persuade President Trump The father of the twins thanked

:12:36. > :12:50.President Trump for taking TRANSLATION: I would like to thank

:12:51. > :12:53.President Trump and the US administration on the initial steps

:12:54. > :12:58.they took against the airport that killed my children and all the

:12:59. > :13:03.martyrs. But I didn't expect the strikes to stop. I was surprised.

:13:04. > :13:05.Why did President Trump stop the strikes? Why one airport? Why one

:13:06. > :13:06.base? Author and journalist Diana Darke

:13:07. > :13:11.has lived and worked the Middle East for 30 years,

:13:12. > :13:18.she joins us now from our Thanks very much for your time this

:13:19. > :13:22.morning. B ask you this first of all. You think those of strikes by

:13:23. > :13:27.the Americans on that airfield in Syria, against the regime, will make

:13:28. > :13:35.any difference to Assad and his holding onto the position they're?

:13:36. > :13:39.It won't make any difference at all. Unless he thinks anything will

:13:40. > :13:43.follow through with a further military strike, in other words

:13:44. > :13:48.taking out all of his airbases. The mentality in Damascus is they feel

:13:49. > :13:55.very secure because of the support from the Russians and irradiance.

:13:56. > :13:59.Bashar al-Assad has been in charge of this war since the beginning. He

:14:00. > :14:03.has felt invincible since the Russians have come behind him, so it

:14:04. > :14:09.will take a lot of diplomatic pressure and I'm not sure it will

:14:10. > :14:16.happen. Hard to tell how effective that particular strike was. In the

:14:17. > :14:20.airfield is still operational. We don't what President Trump will do.

:14:21. > :14:26.Everyone is in the dark about that. Have you any idea of? I think what

:14:27. > :14:31.they are trying to do now is maintain momentum and they want to

:14:32. > :14:36.push forward with a diplomatic solution as much as they can. Exert

:14:37. > :14:41.maximum pressure on political lines with Russia, to try to bring this to

:14:42. > :14:46.an end. If that fails, then I don't doubt actually that Trump is not a

:14:47. > :14:51.man for empty threats, he will follow through. What I think he has

:14:52. > :14:56.got to be seen to put as much pressure as he possibly can now.

:14:57. > :15:03.Writing in the Sunday Times today, Michael Fallon said that in order to

:15:04. > :15:07.move this on, to try to bring an end to this awful conflict, three things

:15:08. > :15:12.need to happen. The first of those is the departure of Assad. We are

:15:13. > :15:15.revisiting old arguments that have been going on for six years and

:15:16. > :15:19.there's been nothing to indicate that Bashar al-Assad is in any

:15:20. > :15:24.position or has shown any inclination to move to step down in

:15:25. > :15:26.any way. Do you get a sense of that? Having lived in Damascus, what might

:15:27. > :15:38.persuade him to relate to? Only if he really, really believes

:15:39. > :15:42.that America will do a major strike. If you look back, whenever he has

:15:43. > :15:48.really felt that the Americans are going to follow through and he is in

:15:49. > :15:52.a really tough position, he backs down very quickly. He did it with

:15:53. > :15:58.the chemical weapon deal. He was so believed. He honestly thought the

:15:59. > :16:03.red line was going to be crossed by American. But after they did not, he

:16:04. > :16:08.was given carte blanche to do whatever he wanted. And then after

:16:09. > :16:12.that assassination and there was a huge international outcry when Syria

:16:13. > :16:17.was implicated in that, within months, all of the Syrian troops

:16:18. > :16:21.that had been stationed in Lebanon were pulled out quickly. It can

:16:22. > :16:25.happen very fast. But he has to believe that the pressure is real.

:16:26. > :16:30.The difference now is he has Russia behind his shoulders. They are a

:16:31. > :16:33.strong. When he lent on the chemical weapons a few years ago, the

:16:34. > :16:39.difference was that Russia and America were co-ordinating the

:16:40. > :16:44.pressure on Bashar al-Assad. And now, the Russians are firmly behind

:16:45. > :16:48.him. They say they want to see the evidence that the regime was behind

:16:49. > :16:53.this chemical attack in Syria. So, is there any way forward to try to

:16:54. > :16:57.bring America and Russia together on this? Well, I think they have to be

:16:58. > :17:02.seen to be trying. My own view is that it will be very, very unlikely

:17:03. > :17:09.that it will result in something. But who knows? At every step, people

:17:10. > :17:15.have got the Syrian War wrong. It has not played out how everyone

:17:16. > :17:20.expected. I mean, we could wake up tomorrow and find out that Bashar

:17:21. > :17:26.al-Assad was deposed in some sort of coup. It is an opaque animal. You

:17:27. > :17:31.hear it rumours. You hear that Russia cannot bring him in any more.

:17:32. > :17:38.You hear that he cannot rein in his militia any more. Iraqi militias,

:17:39. > :17:42.Lebanese militia, many of them are operating on the ground in their own

:17:43. > :17:46.fiefdoms and no one can be reined in any more. And the complexity of the

:17:47. > :17:52.situation is that the more pressure put on him, potentially, the more

:17:53. > :17:56.strength is given to, umm, the jihadists groups operating in that

:17:57. > :18:02.area who we refer to as terrorist. We know that the rebel group is very

:18:03. > :18:05.multilayered. But certainly there are organisations in there that

:18:06. > :18:13.western governments would not like these the anywhere near any kind of

:18:14. > :18:17.power base. -- Western. Yeah, but the reason these jihadi groups have

:18:18. > :18:22.even gained in power is nobody came into how the moderate rebels at the

:18:23. > :18:25.beginning. Of course, moderate rebels in desperation were forced

:18:26. > :18:29.into the arms of the extremists. Syrians are not extremists by

:18:30. > :18:35.nature. The type of Islam practised in Syria is nothing to do with

:18:36. > :18:41.radicalism. They are open and tolerant on the whole. It is a tiny

:18:42. > :18:45.minority of people and they are being slowly diss placed. The only

:18:46. > :18:48.reason they became strong in the first place is because of the vacuum

:18:49. > :19:00.left by the vacuum. Thank you. A beautiful day yesterday. The same

:19:01. > :19:04.for most of the country today. A quick look at the view outside our

:19:05. > :19:09.window. We may have a guest. There was apparently a spider their

:19:10. > :19:22.moments ago and he has just dropped off. -- there. . It looks like get

:19:23. > :19:26.nice day. And now for the forecast. Lots of people waking up to a

:19:27. > :19:31.similar site this morning. Good morning. The Weather Watchers have

:19:32. > :19:34.been waking up in getting their cameras out and taking some lovely

:19:35. > :19:39.pictures for us already. Do keep them coming. This one is from

:19:40. > :19:45.Somerset to be a lovely start of the mist and he around. That will lift.

:19:46. > :19:50.Southern and eastern and central part of the UK, another sunny day.

:19:51. > :19:54.If anything, warmer than yesterday. But they split in the fortunes of

:19:55. > :19:57.the north and west, things will cloud over. Rain for Northern

:19:58. > :20:02.Ireland and Scotland courtesy of this weather front. However,

:20:03. > :20:08.pressure is still in charge in the east. The closer you are to be

:20:09. > :20:13.higher, the better chance there is it is sunny. The bulk of England and

:20:14. > :20:18.Wales, another beautiful and sunny day. But you can see more cloud

:20:19. > :20:21.creeping in from the west. Rain in the afternoon for Northern Ireland

:20:22. > :20:25.and western Scotland. This is three o'clock for much of the Scottish

:20:26. > :20:31.Highlands and Northern Ireland. Some of the rain is heavy to be eight,

:20:32. > :20:36.nine, 10 degrees. Inverness and we will see cloud. Cloud rolling in

:20:37. > :20:39.through north-western England. Manchester may be in the sunshine.

:20:40. > :20:45.Coastal path in the south-west turning chilly. Clouds rolling in

:20:46. > :20:50.from the sea. Further east, in the sunshine, you could get 25 or 26

:20:51. > :20:55.degrees. The Premier League this afternoon. Sunny at Sunderland. Some

:20:56. > :21:01.of the in Merseyside and Everton. When that happens, temperatures will

:21:02. > :21:05.give away. Temperatures will dip in the west. Behind the cold front, the

:21:06. > :21:09.one bringing the rain through Northern Ireland through the night,

:21:10. > :21:13.that will go south. While most of the rain will fizzle away, the call

:21:14. > :21:20.able spread across the country is. Why the timely wake up tomorrow

:21:21. > :21:23.morning, 49 degrees. -- cool air. Pushing through northern Scotland.

:21:24. > :21:28.Through the day tomorrow, dry weather and sunshine, but showers as

:21:29. > :21:35.well The showers to it or not across northern Scotland could be wintry.

:21:36. > :21:39.-- believe it or not. At best tomorrow we are looking at heights

:21:40. > :21:46.of 15 or 16. A big change on the way. People are taking advantage of

:21:47. > :21:56.this. This person says it is sunny in Leicester. Make the most of it.

:21:57. > :22:04.What is on the Andrew Marr Show? A sense of international crisis with

:22:05. > :22:08.the attack on Syria. I am joined by the Shadow Foreign Secretary, Emily

:22:09. > :22:13.Thornberry. And the International Development Secretary talking about

:22:14. > :22:16.Boris Johnson cancelling the trip to Moscow. And Alex Hammond and an

:22:17. > :22:32.actor. And the band as usual. We will say goodbye shortly. At

:22:33. > :22:43.first, three incredible sisters. We'll hear from Joan as she turns

:22:44. > :22:46.100, and from her sisters, And there won't be any separate male

:22:47. > :23:02.or female categories Do we get along? We do have some

:23:03. > :23:11.arguments. Why not? Nobody is the same. You cannot say yes all the

:23:12. > :23:20.time, can you? Three sisters, 300 years of history. Ilott to reminisce

:23:21. > :23:28.about at her 100 year birthday. --A lot. I do not feel my age. I have to

:23:29. > :23:33.do the counting. Joan was born the day after America entered the First

:23:34. > :23:45.World War and was vital in the second. I was stationed at Newmarket

:23:46. > :23:51.with Commander Harris. I enjoyed it. At just 98, this is the youngest

:23:52. > :24:09.sister. Do you still see yourself as the baby sister? Certainly not. Do

:24:10. > :24:12.they treat you as the baby sister? No. We've all had a very good

:24:13. > :24:15.relationship. One needs the other. We help each other. The oldest

:24:16. > :24:18.sister has travelled from Scotland for the party. She finally gave up

:24:19. > :24:23.her favourite activity at 102. I gave up driving. I am really sad

:24:24. > :24:30.about it. I feel as if I have lost my legs. She always had a zest for

:24:31. > :24:37.adventure. In her 90s she backpacked through Chile. We went there in 1938

:24:38. > :24:43.to see Hitler. When you saw Hitler, did you have any inkling of what was

:24:44. > :24:48.to come? Yes. Yes, it was very, very strange. I think they are role

:24:49. > :24:52.models. They are something to look up to. I mean, they are so

:24:53. > :25:11.inspirational to me. Who is the bossy one? David, BBC News. Who was

:25:12. > :25:14.the youngest? 98. Incredible. I hope they enjoy the celebrations. Good

:25:15. > :25:22.morning if you have just joined us. The newspapers.

:25:23. > :25:23.Anne Longfield, Children's Commissioner

:25:24. > :25:27.for England, is here to tell us what's caught her eye.

:25:28. > :25:35.Many harrowing pictures of the recent campaign civil war in Syria,

:25:36. > :25:42.in particular, in relation to the apparent chemical attack on a town

:25:43. > :25:47.which killed 80 plus civilians. You have picked it out today. It was the

:25:48. > :25:54.photo that really caught my eye. I think it brings home the

:25:55. > :25:59.devastation. A town that has had many bombardments overtime. But from

:26:00. > :26:05.that, you have families saying how can I live here? You have families

:26:06. > :26:09.with young children. Just imagine what it must be like to survive in

:26:10. > :26:15.that not only devastating kind of area but also the unknown of what is

:26:16. > :26:21.coming. Last year I went to Jordan and met many Syrian families that

:26:22. > :26:24.went over the border. They had unimaginable stories. Family is

:26:25. > :26:29.going to work and not coming back. Trying to get out of the country.

:26:30. > :26:36.That brought it home for me. The awful thing about that is, and this

:26:37. > :26:39.has happened, I suspect, as a result of the Americans bombing, the people

:26:40. > :26:43.living in that town felt they would potentially be a target once again

:26:44. > :26:47.from Syrian government forces. And that has happened. There has been

:26:48. > :26:53.more bombing. Think of the lack of power and destiny does families

:26:54. > :26:58.have. It is something which, you know, for us, is unimaginable, but

:26:59. > :27:02.for them is very real. They don't know where to go. And we have this

:27:03. > :27:08.story and see these awful pictures and we wonder if it is going to be

:27:09. > :27:12.the turning point. The complexity of this is almost impossible to see a

:27:13. > :27:18.way out the pillow you have just had your own kind of contribute talking

:27:19. > :27:27.about where it is going to go. -- out. . -- correspondent. This shows

:27:28. > :27:33.the anguish of this father. The Sunday Times. An interesting one.

:27:34. > :27:43.Parents who struggle to get their children away from screens might be

:27:44. > :27:46.interested to read that a top school, the King Solomon Academy in

:27:47. > :27:53.West London is knocking on doors and taking away

:27:54. > :28:00.Xboxes. It might strike fear into the hearts of children. It is a

:28:01. > :28:09.serious piece behind that headline. A top school. Clearly a principal is

:28:10. > :28:14.on a mission with this. And, umm, it is part of a bigger piece of work

:28:15. > :28:17.where he is working with there and then families to try to look at

:28:18. > :28:21.helping them manage their children's time, not only on line, but also in

:28:22. > :28:26.broader behaviour. You know, he would say that staying up all night

:28:27. > :28:30.playing games, I think the thing is that it is a different world because

:28:31. > :28:36.children are on line but parents need to work out what is it they are

:28:37. > :28:39.going to do about it. What is your position on this? I think the

:28:40. > :28:43.Internet is a great force for good. My idea is that there are great

:28:44. > :28:48.things that children can get out of this. And this is reality. People

:28:49. > :28:52.spend a third of their time on line. But screen time is important to

:28:53. > :28:57.manage for parents. If it means children are not getting sleep, they

:28:58. > :29:01.need that sleep. It is good in schools when they take screens away

:29:02. > :29:09.at the beginning of the day. It brings a different atmosphere. 30

:29:10. > :29:15.seconds. Tell us about Jean, amazing eye surgery. It is part of a trial.

:29:16. > :29:26.Amazing eyesight. Macular degeneration. They put a lens in and

:29:27. > :29:29.it rebalances your eyes. It is for people with failing eyesight. Two of

:29:30. > :29:34.my grandparents lost their eyesight like this. It is good. We will hear

:29:35. > :29:37.more from the later on. Right now we will be on the BBC News channel

:29:38. > :29:43.until nine o'clock this morning. Coming up on the programme, a tense

:29:44. > :29:49.overnight night for England's Justin Rose. He is leading the Masters as

:29:50. > :29:54.joint leader. We will ask a professional coach for his chances.

:29:55. > :29:58.All of that to come on the BBC News channel. I hope you can join us.

:29:59. > :30:00.This is where we say goodbye on BBC One.

:30:01. > :30:04.'This is the gateway to everything that ever was,
