:06:22. > :06:23.the battle against Isis, conclude that, and it is going quite

:06:24. > :06:27.well, then we hope to turn our attention to achieving ceasefire

:06:28. > :06:29.agreements between the regime Russia and Iran, President Assad's

:06:30. > :06:36.key military backers, are threatening retaliation

:06:37. > :06:38.if there are any further It's far from clear Moscow's

:06:46. > :06:47.or America's retaliatory Years of effort trying to find

:06:48. > :06:51.a negotiated settlement have failed and so the task here in Italy

:06:52. > :06:55.of trying to find a new way of breaking the deadlock

:06:56. > :06:57.still looks enormous. We'll be speaking to the UK's former

:07:37. > :07:39.in the city yesterday to pay tribute to the victims, who included

:07:42. > :07:52.appears to implicate the Bank of England in the so-called

:07:53. > :07:54.Libor scandal. A secret recording from 2008

:07:55. > :07:56.obtained by Panorama suggests it repeatedly pressured commercial

:07:57. > :07:59.banks to push down the rates at which they charged

:08:00. > :08:01.each other interest. Here's our economics

:08:02. > :08:19.correspondent, Andy Verity. The Libor scandal first blew up in

:08:20. > :08:24.2012, when the boss was forced to resign. Until recently, Libor was

:08:25. > :08:30.said to be by members of staff at the biggest banks saying they would

:08:31. > :08:35.tell each other what interest rates they would need. They offered rates,

:08:36. > :08:42.Libor for short. They basted only on their own genuine view of the market

:08:43. > :08:47.for borrowing and lending cash. -- based it. We uncovered a phone call

:08:48. > :08:51.on October 29, 2008, during the GST, when a senior banker tells the man

:08:52. > :08:55.putting in Libor rates, Peter Johnson, to push down his Libor

:08:56. > :08:57.rates below the true cost of borrowing cash because of pressure

:08:58. > :09:26.from above. We played the recording to a member

:09:27. > :09:31.of the Treasury Select Committee. If what he is saying is true, that is

:09:32. > :09:34.shocking. This tape suggest that in fact the Bank of England knew about

:09:35. > :09:38.it and indeed were encouraging or even instructing it. So we need an

:09:39. > :09:43.immediate enquiry to find out exactly what is going on, given what

:09:44. > :09:48.we have just heard on this tape. The Bank of England told Panorama Libor

:09:49. > :09:53.and other global benchmarks were not regulated in the UK or elsewhere

:09:54. > :09:54.during the period in question. Andy Verity, BBC News.

:09:58. > :09:59.is leading to some vocational subjects being cut.

:10:00. > :10:02.Research from the NUT and the ATL suggests teachers in subjects

:10:09. > :10:12.it is not keeping up with costs and warn of a ?3 billion funding gap

:10:13. > :10:21.Australian scientists say two-thirds of the Great Barrier Reef has now

:10:22. > :10:23.been devastated by severe coral bleaching caused

:10:24. > :10:34.Our Sydney correspondent, Phil Mercer, has more on this.

:10:35. > :10:44.What is happening? Good morning. The Great Barrier Reef is about the size

:10:45. > :10:49.of Italy, and the damage being inflicted by this bleaching is,

:10:50. > :10:55.according to Australian scientists, unprecedented. For the first time,

:10:56. > :10:58.they have recorded mass bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef in

:10:59. > :11:05.consecutive years. Last year they uncovered this bleaching in the

:11:06. > :11:09.northern section of the reef. This year it is the middle section of the

:11:10. > :11:14.Great Barrier Reef which is being subjected to this bleaching. Now,

:11:15. > :11:20.this covers an area well in excess of 900 miles, so a huge area has

:11:21. > :11:24.been affected. And the authorities and the scientists are warning the

:11:25. > :11:29.authorities in Australia that if assets are not made to combat global

:11:30. > :11:34.warming, these sorts of events will occur far more frequently. --

:11:35. > :11:36.efforts. OK, Phil Mercer, thank you very much.

:11:37. > :11:39.Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has won a record-breaking nine

:11:40. > :11:41.Olivier Awards, which celebrate the best in theatre.

:11:42. > :11:43.They include Best Actor for Jamie Parker, who plays

:11:44. > :11:46.the wizard, and Noma Dumezweni, who plays Hermione Grainger,

:11:47. > :11:49.The stage show has now become the most decorated production

:11:50. > :11:55.in the history of the Olivier Awards.

:11:56. > :12:03.I feel very lucky that I saw it last Wednesday. So I just got in there

:12:04. > :12:09.before it won all those awards. It is epic. It is epic because you

:12:10. > :12:14.watch it in two parts. You go to the matinee and there is a break in

:12:15. > :12:19.between. Like a three-hour mini break in between. Just amazing. The

:12:20. > :12:25.actors are brilliant. The whole thing is brilliant. You are immersed

:12:26. > :12:30.in the Harry Potter world. It sounds like you liked it. Yeah, just a

:12:31. > :12:33.little bit. Should we say other plays are available... Other plays

:12:34. > :12:39.are available, but that one is good, obviously. I have been watching

:12:40. > :12:45.golf. An amazing story for Sergio Garcia. No longer do we have to say

:12:46. > :12:51.he is the best player who has never won a Major because he has done it.

:12:52. > :12:58.Four times the bridesmaid. He tried so long and it could not happen to a

:12:59. > :13:02.nicer bloke. I went to bed at nine o'clock last night because I thought

:13:03. > :13:03.if I stay up I would have to stay until the end. Yes, good morning.

:13:04. > :13:05.Sergio Garcia is the Masters Champion.

:13:06. > :13:08.He holed a birdie putt to win a sudden-death play-off

:13:09. > :13:11.An amazing final day battle between the pair,

:13:39. > :13:41.helped them snatch victory from Northampton Saints

:13:42. > :13:44.at the Ricoh Arena to stay top of the Premiership.

:13:45. > :13:54.And that is all the sport for now. Golf soon in the papers. Definitely.

:13:55. > :13:58.Yesterday was a lovely day for many of us. The hottest day of the year

:13:59. > :14:04.so far, with temperatures hitting 25 degrees in Cambridge. Soon, we will

:14:05. > :14:06.hear the forecast. First, this is how you have been enjoying the

:14:07. > :14:17.sunshine. Gorgeous. Not enough of it, though.

:14:18. > :14:34.We should have this right through until September, surely. We are

:14:35. > :14:38.going to have a picnic today. Oh, and we're gonna make lots of lovely

:14:39. > :14:42.food. We were at yesterday as well. You might as well enjoy as much of

:14:43. > :14:48.it as you can. We won't have much next month. I am enjoying it as much

:14:49. > :14:53.as I can. A lovely day to take him out. Just get some fresh air. Go

:14:54. > :14:57.down to the park. I hope that it will last a little bit longer

:14:58. > :14:59.because sometimes we don't get so much of a chance to have this hot

:15:00. > :15:08.weather. The question, of course, is, is it

:15:09. > :15:21.going to last? Well, we're not going to have the

:15:22. > :15:26.dizzy heights of those temperatures. Yesterday, in Cambridge, we had

:15:27. > :15:31.25.5 C. It was the warmest day of the year so far. Beautiful blue

:15:32. > :15:36.skies in Cambridgeshire, and cooler in the far north-west. That cool air

:15:37. > :15:39.today will filter further south. However, having said that, for some

:15:40. > :15:43.of us we will still have temperatures above average for the

:15:44. > :15:47.time of year. So what is happening today is our southerly wind pumping

:15:48. > :15:50.in all that warm air has been replaced by more of a

:15:51. > :15:54.north-westerly, a fresh direction for us. Today there will be some

:15:55. > :15:57.sunshine, fair weather cloud bubbling up at sunny intervals,

:15:58. > :16:02.instead of wall-to-wall blue skies and we will have showers across the

:16:03. > :16:05.North and west and parts of the East. This afternoon is still a

:16:06. > :16:09.beautiful day, just not as warm across south-west England, south

:16:10. > :16:11.Wales. Fair weather cloud as I mentioned developing across central

:16:12. > :16:15.parts of England, maybe the odd shower and you are more likely to

:16:16. > :16:19.catch one in parts of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. As we head further

:16:20. > :16:23.north, north-west England again seeing a bit more cloud developing.

:16:24. > :16:26.Some showers across the north and west, some of those wintry,

:16:27. > :16:30.actually, in the mountains of Scotland. Later in the day we start

:16:31. > :16:34.to import some rain. There is rain coming in across north-west Scotland

:16:35. > :16:38.initially, moving across other parts of Scotland through the course of

:16:39. > :16:41.the night. Hardly a breath of wind, and in rural areas, under clearer

:16:42. > :16:46.skies, once again we are looking at a touch of frost. These temperatures

:16:47. > :16:51.you can see are indicative of towns and cities. So we start tomorrow on

:16:52. > :16:55.that Kanepi note with some frost around. With the clear skies, some

:16:56. > :16:59.sunshine to start the day at the rain will be persisting across the

:17:00. > :17:04.north and north-west of Scotland -- Nicky note. Further south, in the

:17:05. > :17:08.sunny breaks we're looking at temperatures between around about 11

:17:09. > :17:13.and 16 Celsius, the average in London at this stage in April is

:17:14. > :17:16.about 13, so you see what I mean. We are a little bit above where we

:17:17. > :17:20.should be. As we move through Wednesday, a weather front

:17:21. > :17:24.eventually come south but as it does so it will be a fairly weak affair.

:17:25. > :17:28.It is not going to produce much in the way of rain by the time it gets

:17:29. > :17:32.into the south. It move southwards through the course of the day across

:17:33. > :17:34.northern England, Wales, into the Midlands, staying largely dry and

:17:35. > :17:37.fine head of it. Further showers across the north and the west, and

:17:38. > :17:43.that north-westerly breeze. Temperatures ranging from eight in

:17:44. > :17:48.the Northern Isles to highs of around 13, 14 or maybe 15 in the

:17:49. > :17:52.south-east. It is more of the same during the course of Thursday.

:17:53. > :17:55.Again, we are looking at a lot of dry weather around. Some sunny

:17:56. > :17:59.spells, that is away from the north and west of Scotland, some of that

:18:00. > :18:03.at times getting into the north-west of Northern Ireland, and a range of

:18:04. > :18:11.nine to 14. I will tell you what you can expect for Easter in half an

:18:12. > :18:15.hour. Look at you, you big tease! Well, we will see you in half an

:18:16. > :18:19.hour, looking forward to it. Are you able to tell us whether it is a

:18:20. > :18:25.thumbs up or thumbs down? Well, I can give you an actual claim. I had

:18:26. > :18:31.run out of time, to be honest. Sunshine and showers, mostly fine.

:18:32. > :18:39.There you go! She didn't take much teasing, then. We will have more

:18:40. > :18:46.from Carol later. A quick look at the papers. The Telegraph are

:18:47. > :18:50.talking about Russia's threat to strike back at Trump with force if

:18:51. > :19:00.there is another attack by the US and lots of papers celebrating Harry

:19:01. > :19:07.Potter winning a record-breaking nine Olivier awards, and this is the

:19:08. > :19:12.actress who plays Hermione. I sat through five hours of the play.

:19:13. > :19:19.Russia upping the anti on Syria. We will be talking about the G7 summit

:19:20. > :19:24.later on, and lots of papers have the father of two who was killed in

:19:30. > :19:37.remembrance, the Prince of Wales and his sons to mark the Centenary of

:19:38. > :19:40.the battle of Vimy Ridge, so many papers talking about sanctions on

:19:41. > :19:46.Putin and what Russia is saying about America. The Guardian leading

:19:47. > :19:50.with Chris Beddington, and their main story is about refugees being

:19:51. > :20:01.sent to the poorest parts of the UK. And in G2 today, how we learned to

:20:02. > :20:08.love the Fox. It keeps sending the dog around the bend. The Mirror

:20:09. > :20:12.saying that parents are being asked to donate cash to schools to buy

:20:13. > :20:16.things like books and various things. I am wondering if any of you

:20:17. > :20:22.have been asked to donate money to troubled schools. And is a golf

:20:23. > :20:27.dominated? Well, congratulations first of all to the Guardian, the

:20:28. > :20:31.only paper to have the results of the Masters on the back, because it

:20:32. > :20:36.all happens too late. Some impressive printing. They must have

:20:37. > :20:41.stayed up late last night. But I really like this as well in the Sun,

:20:42. > :20:45.all a little stories which you might not see on the television when the

:20:46. > :20:51.cameras following the live action. So Ernie Els has decided it is the

:22:03. > :22:04.Parkinson's was discovered, Some drugs can control the symptoms,

:22:05. > :22:08.but campaigners say progress in developing new

:22:09. > :22:10.treatments is too slow. One of the reasons, they say,

:22:11. > :22:13.is because it is less common than diseases like Alzheimer's,

:22:14. > :22:16.which has six times as many people And today, the charity Parkinson's

:22:25. > :22:39.and takes up to 15 tablets every This is not the kind of face usually

:22:40. > :22:45.associated with Parkinson's. The average age of onset is 60. Jordan's

:22:46. > :22:50.diagnosis came when he was 16. When you first heard the diagnosis...

:22:51. > :22:55.Shattered. Shattered you, yes. Absolutely is shattered. Because he

:22:56. > :23:03.went from this... He was outgoing, loved the girls, and thinking, is he

:23:04. > :23:10.going to be the same? Felt like my heart had been ripped out. In 18 17,

:23:11. > :23:15.James Parkinson called this the shaking palsy. 200 years on, there

:23:16. > :23:20.is still no cure. It is so much to deal with. It has been really

:23:21. > :23:26.challenging, because I have to go to university with it, I am actually

:23:27. > :23:31.applying myself more,. He still managed to graduate, he is still

:23:32. > :23:37.managing to set a Masters degree. I am so proud of him. But the drugs

:23:38. > :23:41.only help so much. Some drugs mask the symptoms of Parkinson's, others

:23:42. > :23:47.deal with the side-effects the drugs to mark mask the symptoms of

:23:48. > :23:55.Parkinson's, but they don't slow its progression, and eventually they.

:24:01. > :24:05.Parkinson's UK say it is time to change that. Today they launched the

:24:06. > :24:09.we won't wait campaign. We brought Jordan to London to come to

:24:10. > :24:19.Parkinson's HQ, to meet the man at the helm. Have you seen what -- have

:24:20. > :24:22.you got some good news? As unfortunate, there is no good news.

:24:23. > :24:26.They only really treat the symptoms of the disease, so we are only

:24:27. > :24:31.papering over the cracks. Why so little progress with this

:24:32. > :24:35.neurological condition could, when medical signs elsewhere has made

:24:36. > :24:40.great strides? The professor tells us the reason is simple. Lack of

:24:41. > :24:44.investment. Well, Parkinson's is on the borderline of profitability for

:24:45. > :24:47.drug companies. You know, if they were more people affected by the

:24:48. > :24:52.disease, you would get more profit back from the sites. We have got all

:24:53. > :25:00.the tools, we have got all the knowledge, we just need the cash to

:25:01. > :25:04.drive the process forward. Until a cure, all Jordan can do is manage

:25:05. > :25:12.symptoms. Commentary therapies help. For some it is dance, others swim,

:25:13. > :25:21.Jordan is trying something new. Very good. How does that feel? Yes, feels

:25:22. > :25:26.good. It is fine. Challenging, but it is rewarding when I get it right.

:25:27. > :25:29., 200 years after the condition was identified, Parkinson's UK say those

:25:30. > :25:34.living with the condition shouldn't have to wait any more. A cure is

:25:35. > :25:41.within reach, with the right funding. It could and should happen,

:25:42. > :25:46.they say, in Jordan's lifetime. I do feel close, but were not getting any

:25:47. > :25:52.investment. So we are there, but we are not there yet. I have a lot

:25:53. > :25:57.ahead of me, and I want to look forward to it.

:25:58. > :26:04.And thank you very much to Jordan for talking to us. Also for you

:26:46. > :26:49.AB products, lots of different things made here which we are

:26:50. > :26:52.selling abroad. So it gives you a really good sense of what is

:26:53. > :26:56.happening with global trade, the fact that they are now looking at

:42:07. > :42:11.as hard as Keith Palmer did. He took his job really seriously. The reason

:42:12. > :42:16.Keith Palmer came to work was for his family. He was so proud to be a

:43:49. > :43:54.for the family, for the widow of PC Keith Palmer and his daughter, it is

:43:55. > :43:59.very much a service for a husband and father, as well as a colleague

:44:03. > :44:06.Palmer in person but have come to know him over these past few days.

:44:07. > :44:09.So, a funeral service like many, many others, but quite different as

:44:13. > :44:17.readings and being part of the service? They have been, because we

:44:18. > :44:21.wanted it to be the service they wanted for PC Keith Palmer, as well

:44:22. > :44:28.as the service he needed to honour what he did for the nation. You have

:44:29. > :44:35.two choirs, a church choir, and then a police one as well. There are

:44:36. > :44:39.actually three. The cathedral choir, the Metropolitan Police Choir, and

:44:47. > :44:50.music, God Be My Head, as the Bishop of Southwark commends his body to

:44:56. > :44:59.hundreds, possibly thousands, of police officer is to be part of the

:45:00. > :45:04.service, the ones to come to it, have you got special arrangements in

:45:32. > :45:36.the day when he was attacked, the way he did not run away from his

:45:37. > :45:39.duty, the way he did not run away, as I might have done, but he

:45:40. > :45:43.actually approached the person who had entered into the yard, it shows

:45:44. > :45:48.what kind of police officer he was, taking his duty to a level that

:45:49. > :45:52.really stunned us all in the level of sacrifice he made on behalf of

:46:35. > :46:37.is going to be colder than it was. Some of us will still have

:46:38. > :46:41.temperatures above where they should be at this stage in April. We do

:46:42. > :46:45.have quite a bit of sunshine first thing, blue skies but through the

:46:46. > :46:48.course of the day some fair weather cloud will bubble up. So we will be

:46:49. > :46:51.looking at sunny intervals rather than wall-to-wall blue skies for the

:46:52. > :47:02.afternoon. There are a few showers in the forecast in the north and

:47:03. > :47:05.western parts of the East. If you are in south-west England, South

:47:06. > :47:09.Wales, you are going to hang on to some sunshine for the bulk of the

:47:10. > :47:12.day. Temperatures down on yesterday. Fair weather cloud bubbling up

:47:13. > :47:15.through the day. You might see the odd shower from that, most of us

:47:16. > :47:18.will not. Cambridge, having peaked at 25.5 yesterday, is more likely to

:47:19. > :47:22.be 13 today. Showers in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, one or two in Northern

:47:23. > :47:25.Ireland and Simon Weston Scotland. Some in the mountains of Scotland

:47:26. > :47:29.will actually be wintry. As we head through the evening and overnight we

:47:30. > :47:33.have a weather front coming in, bringing in a band of rain. You can

:47:34. > :47:36.see not much in the way of wind, from the huge spacing in the

:47:37. > :47:39.isobars. So where we do have clear skies there will be some frost in

:47:40. > :47:43.the countryside. These temperatures are more indicative of what you can

:47:44. > :47:47.expect in towns and cities. So that is how we start the day tomorrow.

:47:48. > :47:50.Where we have a clear skies we will start off with some sunshine. We

:47:51. > :47:53.also have the rain continuing across northern and north-western parts of

:47:54. > :47:57.Scotland. Later on you will notice that cloud across Northern Ireland,

:47:58. > :48:01.and you could see spots of rain much later in the day. For England and

:48:02. > :48:04.Wales we are looking at some sunny spells, and temperatures between

:48:05. > :48:08.about 12 and 16, more or less across the board. By the time we get to

:48:09. > :48:11.Wednesday, a weather front which has been in Scotland and Northern

:48:12. > :48:15.Ireland pushes all the way down to the south-east, and it weakens as it

:48:16. > :48:18.does so. There is more the breeze on Wednesday as well. So the rain

:48:19. > :48:23.moving out of Scotland and Northern Ireland into Wales and the Midlands.

:48:24. > :48:26.Ahead of it, staying dry but the cloud will build. Behind it a

:48:27. > :48:30.mixture of right spells, sunshine and showers but in the breeze it

:48:31. > :48:34.will feel nippy. Temperatures tend to 15. To give you an idea of the

:48:35. > :48:40.temperature values, the average in London at this stage it 13. So for

:48:41. > :48:44.Thursday we have a chilly start, we have can clouds, some sunshine

:48:45. > :48:47.coming in and then the next batch of rain. And we have more of a

:48:48. > :48:52.westerly, south-westerly breeze. And I did promise you what is this

:48:53. > :48:56.weekend. For Good Friday, the rain coming into Scotland and Northern

:48:57. > :49:00.Ireland southwards. It will be mostly in the west, very little

:49:01. > :49:04.going towards the east. Temperatures down a little bit for some, but for

:49:05. > :49:08.others, still above average and the Easter weekend itself it will be

:49:09. > :49:12.mostly dry. Sunshine and showers as well, and on Saturday we expect to

:49:13. > :49:17.see most of the showers. And there will also be a cool wind. So we are

:49:18. > :49:21.not getting back to the dizzy temperatures we had at the weekend

:49:22. > :49:28.just yet. Thank you for telling us about Easter anyway.

:49:29. > :49:35.It has travelled 7000 miles to get here, and a freight train is about

:49:36. > :49:39.to head from the UK to China, laden with goods including whiskey, car

:49:40. > :49:49.parts, soft drinks, vitamins and baby products. Is that the train? It

:49:50. > :49:53.is indeed the train. Good morning everybody. You can see it goes on

:49:54. > :49:59.for quite some way. There is something like 30 containers. They

:50:00. > :50:03.have a few more to put on, you can see them to the side of me and we

:50:04. > :50:06.are in the port, London Gateway in Essex, and this is the main rail

:50:07. > :50:11.terminal and these containers are full of stuff which has been made

:50:12. > :50:15.here, which we are hoping to sell abroad to China. This train is going

:50:16. > :50:19.to head over the next 17 days through the Channel Tunnel, through

:50:20. > :50:23.Europe, Russia, and then into China. And as you mentioned, it is this

:50:24. > :50:28.train which has been bringing stuff into the country as well. If you

:50:29. > :50:32.look at the figures on it, we export something like ?16 billion worth of

:50:33. > :50:36.stuff to China, and there is about ?40 billion worth of stuff coming

:50:37. > :50:40.in, so there is quite a big difference in terms of that export

:50:41. > :50:44.and import deficit between the two countries, but we are hoping, given

:50:45. > :50:49.what is happening with Brexit and the like, that we will be doing more

:50:50. > :50:53.trade with them in the future. But it won't be long before this train,

:50:54. > :50:57.the first ever trained to go from the UK to China, will be heading off

:50:58. > :51:01.in a couple of hours to pause time. Alex is from the China British

:51:02. > :51:07.business Council. Good morning to you. Tell us why this is so

:51:08. > :51:10.significant. It is the first of its kind, really. Trains have been

:51:11. > :51:14.running from Europe to China quite frequently for the last few years,

:51:15. > :51:18.this is the first connection from the UK to China and opens up a new

:51:19. > :51:22.avenue for trade, as you say. Obviously maritime and freight are

:51:23. > :51:28.still there, to get the train over there, British exports N. Why is it

:51:29. > :51:33.better or different to going by sea or air? What is the benefit of rail?

:51:34. > :51:38.It is certainly quicker, and this will appealed to advanced

:51:39. > :51:42.manufacturers who have to get the parts from machines over to China

:51:43. > :51:46.very quickly. Bulk items, getting things the ship relatively cheaply

:51:47. > :51:50.but it is a great opportunity for exporters. There is a great

:51:51. > :51:54.difference in terms of what we bring in compared with what we sell to the

:51:55. > :51:58.Chinese. Do you see that changing? Certainly, it is a huge opportunity

:51:59. > :52:02.at the moment, and the time is now. China is not in double-digit growth

:52:03. > :52:05.any more, but it is changing, becoming a more consumer driven

:52:06. > :52:09.economy and that has created opportunities for the UK. You have

:52:10. > :52:13.services like finance, legal, accounting, and also products as

:52:14. > :52:17.well. So China needs these things, and these are things that the UK

:52:18. > :52:21.excels at. So there are huge opportunities for big and small

:52:22. > :52:24.countries your Mac companies. So in terms of the products going across

:52:25. > :52:29.them now, what other favourite things we make that the Chinese

:52:30. > :52:33.love? in terms of this particular train, we have baby products, food

:52:34. > :52:39.and drink is hugely popular at the moment, be it went up 500%, sales of

:52:40. > :52:44.beer, after the President came over two years ago and had that point.

:52:45. > :52:49.But in terms of manufacturing, British style and food and drink,

:52:50. > :52:53.pharmaceuticals, there are real range of products that China wants

:52:54. > :52:58.from the UK. And in terms of worrying about Brexit is a country,

:52:59. > :53:03.in terms of what that is going to mean for trade, can you see that

:53:04. > :53:07.filling in the gap? Certainly I think there are opportunities there.

:53:08. > :53:11.So Chinese imports in 2020 are estimated to be around 3 trillion

:53:12. > :53:17.pounds, that is an IMF figure. At the moment our trade is about ?60

:53:18. > :53:21.billion. As I say, there are huge opportunities for British businesses

:53:22. > :53:24.to go and export to some non-traditional markets, and that is

:53:25. > :53:28.something the government is trying to push forward. Thank you very much

:53:29. > :53:32.for your time. We had better get off the track. I will be here throughout

:53:33. > :53:41.the morning, and we are going to be talking to the chairman of DP World,

:53:42. > :53:49.about why they have decided to do this. That is a bright sunshine. She

:53:50. > :53:54.has her own branded hardhat. Lovely. That is how to rock it.

:53:55. > :53:56.If you could write a letter to your younger self,

:53:57. > :54:07.Always take the Monday after the Baftas.

:54:08. > :54:10.That is the concept behind a new art exhibition in Birmingham.

:54:11. > :54:14.Breakfast's Holly Hamilton is there for us this morning.

:54:15. > :54:24.Good morning. Good morning, Dan. That is a good question. What would

:54:25. > :54:27.you say to your younger self? Another question this morning, when

:54:28. > :54:32.was the last time you actually sat and wrote a letter, not any mala

:54:33. > :54:36.text but put pen to paper and wrote a letter? Is a bit like a sorting

:54:37. > :54:39.office in here this morning. Hundreds of letters, but they

:54:40. > :54:42.haven't been written to family or friends. These are to complete

:54:43. > :54:47.strangers. Some with words of wisdom, some with advice, or maybe

:54:48. > :54:56.just a friendly thought. Let's take a look at some of these. The glitter

:54:57. > :54:59.and effort, we have admired your courage and appreciate your

:55:00. > :55:04.willingness to let them take care of you. Others are more up to it.

:55:05. > :55:09.Please don't forget that even on your darkest of days, your twinkle

:55:10. > :55:14.is too bright to be dulled. This is all the brainchild of Jodie and, who

:55:15. > :55:18.started five years ago asking if people want a letter from her. Now

:55:19. > :55:23.she spends her days riding thousands of letters to people. Like they say,

:55:24. > :55:27.with just some words of wisdom or maybe just some advice. Let's speak

:55:28. > :55:32.to Jodie. Where did this all began for you? So I was in, I guess, my

:55:33. > :55:38.darkest days. I was quite depressed, and the project was like my

:55:39. > :55:42.lighthouse. This was me kind of reaching out to the world, and

:55:43. > :55:48.asking if I could help them. And in turn it is ending up helping me. And

:55:49. > :55:52.this is all just coming from that moment of just darkest depths, and

:55:53. > :55:56.it has turned into such a bright light. And now it is a bright light

:55:57. > :56:01.not just for me, but for thousands of people over the world. And that

:56:02. > :56:04.is really, really amazing. And it is incredible the effort people have

:56:05. > :56:09.gone into. What is it about a letter that people appreciate so much? I

:56:10. > :56:13.think nowadays we have these little bits of real-life magic and a letter

:56:14. > :56:18.and a bit that goes into it, it is almost like a gift. So I don't know

:56:19. > :56:22.about you, but I have always kept the letters I get. Not bills and

:56:23. > :56:26.stuff, but the hundreds of letters keep, because they feel so special.

:56:27. > :56:31.Nowadays we don't have much of that. I am not a technophobe, I don't hate

:56:32. > :56:35.e-mail or anything but letters are so meaningful, and I couldn't see

:56:36. > :56:40.doing it any other way. And some of the sentiments here, as well, are so

:56:41. > :56:45.lovely. They really are lovely letters. And it is really nice

:56:46. > :56:49.because they go from people who are very young, to some people who are

:56:50. > :56:54.in this project to in their or 90s. It is a thing that kind of scale the

:56:55. > :57:00.ages. It doesn't just... It is not a niche market. Everybody can be

:57:01. > :57:03.reminded that they are amazing and strong and can get through. Even

:57:04. > :57:07.though we don't admit that sometimes, we want to know that we

:57:08. > :57:11.are loved and we are now, and it is going to be OK. All of these letters

:57:12. > :57:16.are little reminders of that. I think that is something very

:57:17. > :57:20.important to remember on a Monday morning. I have some glitter and

:57:21. > :57:24.felt tips, I might have a go myself and see what happens. Thank you very

:57:25. > :00:43.much. We will see you a little bit later. We will

:00:44. > :00:46.I will be back with all the latest in half an hour.

:00:47. > :00:54.This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:55. > :00:56.Thousands of police officers from around the country

:00:57. > :01:00.are to attend the funeral of PC Keith Palmer, who was murdered

:02:05. > :02:09.that, carrying lots of stuff that has been made here in the UK. So I

:02:10. > :02:12.will look at what it means for global trade. Good morning.

:03:40. > :03:42.alongside him have been paying tribute, saying he was selfless,

:03:43. > :03:45.a dedicated officer who enjoyed his job, and enjoyed working

:03:48. > :03:50.you would ever find, very giving, very

:03:51. > :03:51.loyal, a true friend. He was so down to

:11:15. > :11:19.Australia's greatest national treasure. It is roughly the size of

:11:20. > :11:26.Italy. And according to scientists, it has, for the first time, endured

:11:27. > :11:31.mass bleaching in consecutive years. Last year's survey revealed a vast

:11:32. > :11:34.northern section of the reef had been subjected to this mass

:13:14. > :13:20.Good morning. Thank you for joining us. First of all, your opinion of

:13:21. > :13:24.the Boris Johnson's opinion not to go ahead with his meeting with the

:13:25. > :13:28.Russians. It was more or less inevitable. The timing would have

:13:29. > :13:35.been extremely difficult. It is better to get the seven together and

:13:36. > :13:38.try and get some common approach. To go into a meeting for which you

:13:39. > :13:46.would have no expectation of any adequate Russian response or indeed

:13:47. > :13:50.anything other than disagreement to achieve, so I think it is probably

:13:51. > :13:55.better. From a diplomatic point of view, Boris Johnson's decision not

:13:56. > :14:01.to go was the right one? Yes. OK, Rex Tillerson will now go, and

:14:02. > :14:05.Russia has said the UK is no longer relevant in these kinds of

:14:06. > :14:09.discussions. Is that the case? That is not the case, but that is

:14:10. > :14:14.precisely what they would say. Russia is predictable. First of all,

:14:15. > :14:19.it was not the Syrian forces that did something, it was some sort of

:14:20. > :14:23.rebel activity. And then, the Americans are just being aggressive,

:14:24. > :14:27.they are entirely innocent, and so on, that is what Russia says. How do

:14:28. > :14:33.you find a way in with the Russians? You say you can predict their

:14:34. > :14:39.responses? Yes, there immediate response. You have to remember that

:14:40. > :14:44.first of all this is not the America are expecting, and that affects the

:14:45. > :14:52.opinionated Ukrainian. There is no bargaining over that. -- opinions

:14:53. > :14:56.over the Ukrainian. And be a pretty stuck over Syria. What do you mean?

:14:57. > :15:01.They have no immediate options. Their troops on the ground are

:15:02. > :15:06.Iranian, who are not there is. They have only one candidate to back,

:15:07. > :15:09.Bashar al-Assad. You could talk about his removal, but who would

:15:10. > :15:14.replace him and how would you replace his policies? You would have

:15:15. > :15:24.to consider whether there long-term policies are correct. And they are

:15:25. > :15:28.threatening with military action. How dangerous a situation are we now

:15:29. > :15:33.in? That would be dangerous. It also depends on what the Americans and

:15:34. > :15:40.the West in general actually do. This was supposed to be a single

:15:41. > :15:42.action, and now we have to consider long-term actions, like military

:15:43. > :15:51.force. And what sort of military force are

:15:52. > :15:56.you talking about? Surfer is most likely to be the use of cruise

:15:57. > :16:00.missiles, which are very difficult to counter, against identifiably

:16:01. > :16:05.Syrian regime targets. I don't think there is any question about putting

:16:06. > :16:09.troops on the ground. And if cruise missiles were to be used again,

:16:10. > :16:14.would you look to what Russia has said? That is a very dangerous

:16:15. > :16:20.situation, is it? It would be dangerous, yes. But these missiles

:16:21. > :16:24.fly 100 feet above the ground, they are difficult to shoot down and are

:16:25. > :16:28.being fired from ships in the Mediterranean, so there is not an

:16:29. > :16:33.obvious military response unless you want to go and think the ships,

:16:34. > :16:38.which is not very likely. So Russia could respond, but what would be

:16:39. > :16:42.their military response? What are the possibilities? An extreme one

:16:43. > :16:47.would be to attack the ships in the Mediterranean, but on the other

:16:48. > :16:51.hand, the West has far more powerful forces in the Mediterranean, so that

:16:52. > :16:56.would be foolish. They could make it more difficult for planes to operate

:16:57. > :17:02.against Isil, because they have already suspended the agreement the

:17:03. > :17:05.Russians and Americans have to say where they are, so that would be

:17:06. > :17:17.dangerous. Thank you. It was the hottest day of the year

:17:18. > :17:21.so far yesterday, and we will have more of the weather from Carol in

:17:22. > :17:49.just a moment. This is how some of you have been enjoying the sunshine.

:18:16. > :18:23.I think the dogs were just having a rest. Just enjoying the sunshine, as

:18:24. > :18:30.many of us were. What will happen in the next few days? Well, it is going

:18:31. > :18:36.to cool down. The top temperature was in Cambridge, 25 .5 Celsius.

:18:37. > :18:40.Heathrow was 25.4, but overnight we saw some cooler conditions coming in

:18:41. > :18:44.across the north-west, and as we go through the course of the day, watch

:18:45. > :18:49.the blue hue thinking southwards. It is not suddenly going to turn cold,

:18:50. > :18:52.just cooler than it was over the weekend, and for some of us that

:18:53. > :18:56.temperatures will actually be above average for this stage in April.

:18:57. > :19:00.This morning we are starting off with a lot of blue sky. Through the

:19:01. > :19:04.day you will notice a bit of fair weather cloud developing. Sunny

:19:05. > :19:08.intervals rather than multiple blue skies, but showers and the forecast

:19:09. > :19:12.as well. Not all of us seeing them. A few in Northern Ireland and a few

:19:13. > :19:16.in eastern England. Into the afternoon across south-west England,

:19:17. > :19:19.much of Wales, we hang on to the sunshine. Don't forget that little

:19:20. > :19:22.bit of fair weather cloud. Across the Midlands, down towards the Isle

:19:23. > :19:27.of Wight, into the London area and East Anglia, parts of Yorkshire and

:19:28. > :19:31.Lincolnshire could see a shower or two. Most of us will not and there

:19:32. > :19:36.could be the odd shower across Northern Ireland, northern and

:19:37. > :19:39.western Scotland as well and in Scotland some of the showers on the

:19:40. > :19:42.mountain tops will be wintry. Temperatures coming down compared to

:19:43. > :19:45.yesterday. As I mentioned, still healthy for April. Overnight

:19:46. > :19:48.tonight, rain coming in across the north and north-west of Scotland

:19:49. > :19:52.will be on an off for the next 24 hours. For the rest of the country,

:19:53. > :19:55.variable amounts of cloud, some breaks, particularly in England and

:19:56. > :19:58.Wales, so in the countryside you can expect a touch of frost. That means

:19:59. > :20:03.first thing tomorrow there will also be some sunshine. In well, the rain

:20:04. > :20:06.continues in the north and north-west. It will be quite busy

:20:07. > :20:10.here through the course of the day, but cloud building ahead of that

:20:11. > :20:15.rain for England and Wales. Again, some sunny spells and highs at 217.

:20:16. > :20:20.The average in London should be 13, so you can see what I mean, but even

:20:21. > :20:24.in Aberdeen we are looking at highs of around 12. As we head through

:20:25. > :20:27.Wednesday, a weather front in Scotland thinks southwards,

:20:28. > :20:32.eventually getting down to the far south of England as weak affair. It

:20:33. > :20:36.is also going to be fairly breezy, coming from a chilly direction,

:20:37. > :20:38.namely the north-west. Here comes the rain sliding steadily

:20:39. > :20:42.southwards, not making it by mid-afternoon to the far south of

:20:43. > :20:47.England. Behind it a mixture of sunshine and showers. If you are in

:20:48. > :20:52.the wind it will feel a bit nippy. Stornoway 10 Celsius, Newcastle 11,

:20:53. > :20:57.but if you are out of it, 12 to 15 will not feel too bad at all. Not as

:20:58. > :21:00.lovely and warm as it was at the weekend. Into Thursday, we are

:21:01. > :21:04.looking again at some chilly weather where we have the brakes on the

:21:05. > :21:07.cloud first thing. You will be sunny spells, more rain coming in across

:21:08. > :21:13.the north-west and during Good Friday that southwards. Mainly

:21:14. > :21:16.affecting the west of the UK and I can't go without showing you quickly

:21:17. > :21:20.what is happening at Easter weekend. Mostly dry, there will be some

:21:21. > :21:25.sunshine and showers, but still that cool wind, and I mean cool is in a

:21:26. > :21:36.chilly way, not as in he, that wind is cool! -- hey. It is the kind of

:21:37. > :21:46.joke I make, so I think it is sunny. Carroll, it is not a good joke.

:21:47. > :21:49.PC Keith Palmer was a friend to everyone who knew him,

:21:50. > :21:52.and every single day he strived to do his best,

:21:53. > :21:54.working tirelessly in a job that he loved.

:21:55. > :21:57.They are just some of the tributes that have been paid

:21:58. > :22:00.to the 48-year-old, who was killed during the Westminster terror

:22:01. > :22:03.Colleagues have been remembering their friend ahead

:22:04. > :22:06.of his funeral later today, and speaking about what they say

:22:07. > :22:08.was the ultimate sacrifice he made, by giving his life

:22:09. > :22:22.If you could paint a picture of the perfect policeman,

:22:23. > :22:32.you would be painting a picture of Keith Palmer.

:22:33. > :22:35.As a police officer, I never come across somebody

:22:36. > :22:37.who worked as hard as Keith Palmer did.

:22:38. > :22:41.The reason Keith came to work was for his family,

:22:42. > :22:47.but he was so proud to be a police officer.

:22:48. > :22:53.PC palma devoted his life to the service of his country. He was a

:22:54. > :22:59.husband and a father, killed during the job he loved. He was every inch

:23:00. > :23:13.a hero, and his actions will never be forgotten. Thinking back to the

:23:14. > :23:17.actions of PC palma, just full of admiration for the man. I think he

:23:18. > :23:22.is the one true hero who truly stands out from the day, and every

:23:23. > :23:29.day he chose to put on a uniform he was a hero.

:23:30. > :23:31.Very professional, very organised, and, um...

:23:32. > :23:37.His favourite was being out on the streets, talking

:23:38. > :23:47.you know, happily taking pictures with people.

:23:48. > :23:50.He would always be thinking of his wife and his family.

:23:51. > :23:55.I know he was a fantastic father and a fantastic husband and,

:23:56. > :24:11.He was a strong, professional public servant, and it was a delight to

:24:12. > :24:20.meet him here again, only a few months after being elected. Every

:24:21. > :24:24.single day his striped to do his best. He worked tirelessly.

:24:25. > :24:33.And what a credit he is to the police service.

:24:34. > :24:43.and we're all going to certainly miss him so much.

:24:44. > :24:46.We will have plenty more on that throughout the programme for you

:24:47. > :24:48.Steph is train-spotting this morning.

:24:49. > :24:52.She is with a freight train that has travelled more than 7,000 miles

:24:53. > :24:56.to get to the UK, and it is just about to head home to the Far East,

:24:57. > :25:14.Good morning, everybody. As you can see I am at London Gateway, the main

:25:15. > :25:18.port at the terminal. There is a really significant thing happening

:25:19. > :25:21.today. This train, which goes on for quite some distance and has around

:25:22. > :25:27.30 containers on it, will be heading off to China taking lots of products

:25:28. > :25:32.which have been made here in the UK. Everything from pharmaceuticals,

:25:33. > :25:37.soft drinks, baby products, lots of products made here that the Chinese

:25:38. > :25:41.want to buy from us. And the reason why it is so significant is because

:25:42. > :25:44.this is the first time that a train has done this journey, taking the

:25:45. > :25:49.stuff there. In the past, this port would still be very busy shipping

:25:50. > :25:54.things to China, and they travel by air as well, but what they are doing

:25:55. > :25:58.is looking at rail as an option as well. Helen is from DP World and has

:25:59. > :26:03.been involved in all the logistics. This has been quite a significant

:26:04. > :26:11.project. Tel is the background to it. Yes, so obviously the trains

:26:12. > :26:15.depart China and come back into the UK, they have been stabled in

:26:16. > :26:20.Barking, and we are responsible, the port operator, for ensuring all the

:26:21. > :26:24.containers are loaded onto the train on time. It will go to the Channel

:26:25. > :26:28.Tunnel, through France and Belgium and then into Germany. That leg of

:26:29. > :26:33.the journey is going to be operated by the rail operator. In Germany it

:26:34. > :26:42.will be connected with an inter- rail train, and it will then go

:26:43. > :26:46.through Poland, Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan before it arrives in

:26:47. > :26:51.China. And it is significant because this is a new project, isn't it?

:26:52. > :26:56.Being delivered by rail. Why are you doing this? Well, in terms of

:26:57. > :27:02.putting containers on the vessel, it is cheaper than going by rail, but

:27:03. > :27:06.it takes almost double the time. Rail is obviously cheaper than

:27:07. > :27:12.airfreight, so it is the sort of middle ground between and C. A happy

:27:13. > :27:16.medium between the two. Thank you very much for your time this

:27:17. > :27:20.morning. It is fascinating to see, because when you think about all the

:27:21. > :27:23.things that must be in these containers and how much we are

:27:24. > :27:28.exporting to China, something like ?16 billion worth of stuff we export

:27:29. > :27:31.to China every year. If you look at that compared to what we are

:27:32. > :27:35.bringing in, it is something like ?40 billion. It is a bit of a gap

:27:36. > :27:38.and I will be talking to the chairman of DP World later in the

:27:39. > :27:42.programme about how significant this is for global trade. It is a

:27:43. > :27:46.staggering journey to take into account, as well, isn't it? We will

:27:47. > :27:48.speak to you later. I want a hard hat with my name on it. Have you got

:27:49. > :31:12.one? Not yet. Next Christmas. For now, though, here

:31:13. > :31:14.is Louise and Dan. This is Breakfast with Dan Walker

:35:34. > :35:50.race for the title. They were both on eight under par

:35:51. > :35:54.going to the final nine holes. The Spaniard seemed to collapse,

:35:55. > :35:56.finding the trees, the rough, He needed something special

:35:57. > :36:02.on the 15, and he found it. Sergio Garcia will have

:36:22. > :36:36.to lose, in truth. They both missed there putts,

:36:37. > :36:38.meaning a sudden death play-off. At the 74th attempt,

:37:24. > :37:30.ourselves from the field. Obviously I want to wear the green

:37:31. > :37:39.jacket, but if not me, Manchester United have won

:41:28. > :41:29.He was outgoing, loved the girls, and thinking,

:41:30. > :41:43.Felt like my heart had been ripped out.

:41:44. > :41:45.In 1817, James Parkinson called this the shaking palsy.

:41:46. > :41:47.200 years on, there is still no cure.

:42:19. > :42:21.But they don't slow its progression, and eventually they will stop

:42:22. > :42:29.They only work for so long, for five or ten years.

:42:30. > :42:31.Parkinson's UK say it is time to change that.

:42:32. > :42:33.Today they launched the We Won't Wait campaign.

:42:34. > :42:36.We brought Jordan to London, to come to Parkinson's HQ,

:42:37. > :42:47.Unfortunately, there is no good news.

:42:48. > :42:50.They only really treat the symptoms of the disease,

:42:51. > :43:00.so we are only papering over the cracks.

:43:01. > :43:02.Why so little progress with this neurological condition,

:43:03. > :43:04.when medical science elsewhere has made great strides?

:43:05. > :43:06.The professor tells us the reason is simple.

:43:07. > :43:19.Well, Parkinson's is on the borderline of profitability

:43:20. > :43:23.You know, if there were more people affected by the disease,

:43:24. > :43:26.you would get more profit back from the science.

:43:27. > :43:29.We have got all the tools, we have got all the knowledge,

:43:30. > :43:35.we just need the cash to drive the process forward.

:43:36. > :43:37.Until a cure, all Jordan can do is manage symptoms.

:43:38. > :43:54.Challenging, but it is rewarding when I get it right.

:43:55. > :43:57.200 years after the condition was identified, Parkinson's UK say

:43:58. > :44:00.those living with the condition shouldn't have to wait any more.

:44:01. > :44:02.A cure is within reach, with the right funding.

:44:03. > :44:12.It could and should happen, they say, in Jordan's lifetime.

:44:13. > :44:15.I do feel close, but we're not getting any investment.

:44:16. > :44:17.So we are there, but we are not there yet.

:44:18. > :44:27.I have a lot ahead of me, I want to look forward to.

:44:28. > :44:30.That was Jordan Webb talking to Jayne, diagnosed with Parkinson's

:44:31. > :44:40.at 16, but determined not to let it rule his life.

:44:41. > :44:47.Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:44:48. > :44:57.Good morning to you. Already we have some weather will watch as' pictures

:44:58. > :45:02.in. Lovely sunrise, and another one from Kent. Again, another beautiful

:45:03. > :45:07.sunrise. It is not going to be as warm as it was over the weekend.

:45:08. > :45:12.Yesterday we hit 25.5 C in Cambridge. Today in Cambridge it is

:45:13. > :45:15.more likely to be 13, and a cooler, fresh day for most of us. We have

:45:16. > :45:19.lost the southerly wind and replaced it with the north-westerly breeze,

:45:20. > :45:23.which is chilly. We start off with some blue skies, but fair weather

:45:24. > :45:27.cloud will build-up through the course of the afternoon and a few of

:45:28. > :45:30.us will see some showers, but most of us will not. Into the afternoon

:45:31. > :45:33.across south-west England and Wales there will be some sunshine. You

:45:34. > :45:37.will notice the cloud building, and it is the same from the Midlands

:45:38. > :45:40.towards the Isle of Wight, and heading towards the south-east.

:45:41. > :45:45.Again, some fair weather cloud and showers, most not seeing them but

:45:46. > :45:48.you're more likely to them across Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.

:45:49. > :45:52.North-west England close to the coast will hang on to some sunshine.

:45:53. > :45:58.One or two showers in the north-west of Scott and the tops of the

:45:59. > :46:02.Mountains will be wintry. -- Scotland. We have a weather front

:46:03. > :46:05.coming in from the north-west, introducing some rain. Cloud

:46:06. > :46:09.building ahead of it across Scotland and Northern Ireland, but for

:46:10. > :46:13.England and Wales, under clear skies, with not much of a breeze, we

:46:14. > :46:17.will see some frost in the countryside once again. Generally

:46:18. > :46:23.these temperatures you can see here are indicative of towns and cities

:46:24. > :46:26.so they are that little bit higher. Tomorrow the rain continues across

:46:27. > :46:29.the north and west of Scotland on and off through the course of the

:46:30. > :46:33.day. Cloud building across Northern Ireland and southern Scotland but

:46:34. > :46:36.for England and Wales, we are looking at once again that day of

:46:37. > :46:42.sunny spells. Temperatures widely in 11 to 17 degrees. 17 for London, for

:46:43. > :46:47.example, is still above average for this stage in April. The average is

:46:48. > :46:51.about 13 so although not hitting the mid-20s it is still quite doesn't.

:46:52. > :46:55.As we head on into Wednesday the rain across Scotland and Northern

:46:56. > :46:59.Ireland six South courtesy of this cold front. Looking at the isobars,

:47:00. > :47:05.it is going to be a breezy day on Wednesday, the wind coming from

:47:06. > :47:10.chilly, north-westerly direction. Into Wales and the Midlands and East

:47:11. > :47:15.Anglia, and it doesn't make it into the far south of England by 4pm, and

:47:16. > :47:21.when it does do later, it will be fairly patchy. Behind it, a mixture

:47:22. > :47:25.of sunshine and showers, and temperatures tend to 15 Celsius. By

:47:26. > :47:28.the time we get to Thursday, it is a similar start once again. We are

:47:29. > :47:32.looking at where we have clear skies by night, sunshine by morning, and

:47:33. > :47:36.also a touch of frost. A lot of sunny spells around as well. The

:47:37. > :47:39.exception to that once again across the north and north-west of

:47:40. > :47:43.Scotland, as a weather front comes in bringing rain. Later that will

:47:44. > :47:48.get into the north-west of Northern Ireland. So for Good Friday it

:47:49. > :47:51.continues its descent southwards, taking its rain with it. Not much

:47:52. > :47:57.getting into the east. Fairly patchy. Kind at a return to sunshine

:47:58. > :48:00.and some showers. For the Easter weekend we are looking at a mostly

:48:01. > :48:04.dry weekend. There will be some sunshine and showers, especially on

:48:05. > :48:08.Saturday, and we will still have that cool wind. Thank you very much

:48:09. > :48:12.for the Easter preview. We are enjoying it. See you later.

:48:13. > :48:14.It travelled over 7,000 miles to get here.

:48:15. > :48:18.Now, 12 weeks after it arrived, a freight train from the Far East

:48:19. > :48:21.is making its return journey to China, and it is taking with it

:48:22. > :48:24.some British stuff that the Chinese want to buy.

:48:25. > :48:29.Steph is at the departure point in Essex this morning.

:48:30. > :48:36.Good morning to you. Good morning everyone. I have to say it is quite

:48:37. > :48:40.nippy here this morning but a really important day for UK trade. This

:48:41. > :48:47.train behind me will be the first ever train carrying cargo from the

:48:48. > :48:51.UK all the way to China on the rail network. So it is around 30

:48:52. > :48:55.containers, which this train will be made up of. There will be loaded on

:48:56. > :49:00.throughout the morning before it zips off. It is going to take, as

:49:01. > :49:04.you say, about 17 days to get all the way over to China and is

:49:05. > :49:06.carrying lots of British made products, things like

:49:07. > :49:11.pharmaceuticals, soft drinks, food as well, baby product, lots of

:49:12. > :49:18.things that Chinese people want to buy from us here in the UK. Let's

:49:19. > :49:24.talk to the chairman of DP World. Can you just tell is a bit about how

:49:25. > :49:27.significant this project is? It is a very important event today, because

:49:28. > :49:33.it is the first export train of cargo leaving England for China. It

:49:34. > :49:46.is full of British made products. It is in line with the one belt one

:49:47. > :49:51.road concept of China. We are on one belt, one road, throughout the 78

:49:52. > :49:56.terminals around the world, and the network is one of the most important

:49:57. > :50:00.routes. This is great news for us. And obviously your business is

:50:01. > :50:06.famous for having lots of ports around the world. Why is it that

:50:07. > :50:13.this product has been taken by rail, rather than by sea or air? It is a

:50:14. > :50:18.demonstration of the facilities available here in the port. Shippers

:50:19. > :50:24.would love to see different modes of transportation. We already have by

:50:25. > :50:29.air. We already have by sea, by road, and now by rail. And rail not

:50:30. > :50:33.just to Europe, but across continents all the way to Asia. This

:50:34. > :50:38.is very significant. And your business as well, obviously a huge

:50:39. > :50:44.global firm. How important do you think London is in the global trade

:50:45. > :50:47.world? Well, we invested a lot in the London Gateway because we

:50:48. > :50:52.believe in the strength of the economy. We believe in economic

:50:53. > :51:01.activity that the sport will add. On the whole supply chain that is

:51:02. > :51:05.managed and operated by DP World, it is a great facility. It is

:51:06. > :51:11.state-of-the-art technology, it is the biggest port in the UK and will

:51:12. > :51:15.play a major role. Are you worried about what impact leaving the

:51:16. > :51:18.European Union might have on trade here? I think short-term there might

:51:19. > :51:28.be something, but I believe long-term it will not affect

:51:29. > :51:32.anything we haven't seen. The port is growing, the business is growing,

:51:33. > :51:37.we had a good year last year, and this year we have a committed line,

:51:38. > :51:43.dedicated to using London Gateway. And this announcement of the

:51:44. > :51:49.shipping line actually happened after Brexit, so it shows that it

:51:50. > :51:54.has a future for us. Thank you for joining us on the programme this

:51:55. > :52:02.morning. And as you were saying it is not long until this train will be

:52:03. > :52:08.heading off. It is something like ?40 billion of products we send

:52:09. > :52:11.every year, and we import around ?60 billion of products. It is big

:52:12. > :52:15.business for us. It will be interesting to see whether that

:52:16. > :52:21.grows over the next few years but more from me and my personalised

:52:22. > :52:23.hardhat, which I know Dan is very jealous of, later in the programme.

:52:24. > :52:26.Love that hat. Bigger fines, community service

:52:27. > :52:28.and penalties for drivers throwing rubbish out of their cars are to be

:52:29. > :52:32.announced by the Government today, Under the plans, fines for littering

:52:33. > :52:37.in England would double from ?75 to ?150, drivers could receive

:52:38. > :52:40.penalty notices if rubbish is thrown from their car, and people given

:52:41. > :52:43.community service for fly-tipping would be forced to help clear up

:52:44. > :52:46.fly-tipped waste and litter. It is hoped this will help tackle

:52:47. > :52:49.the 900,000 reported cases of fly-tipping in England last year,

:52:50. > :52:52.which cost councils nearly ?50 John Read is the founder

:52:53. > :53:13.of the campaign group Clean Up Good morning to you. Good morning.

:53:14. > :53:20.Is ?150 enough to make a difference? We would rather have seen a larger

:53:21. > :53:23.fine, of ?200 minimum, and the government recently introduced a

:53:24. > :53:27.?200 fine for people caught using mobile phones in cars. It is a step

:53:28. > :53:30.in the right direction, but let's be clear about one thing. There is only

:53:31. > :53:36.one sustainable long-term solution, and that is changing the attitudes

:53:37. > :53:40.and behaviour, the culture in this country of littering. You don't see

:53:41. > :53:43.it in many countries, but it is very prevalent in this country. That is

:53:44. > :53:46.the only way you will have a long-term change and a reduction of

:53:47. > :53:51.littering in this country. How do you change attitudes? We have all

:53:52. > :53:55.seen verges where you can see an entire takeaway bag, and this is

:53:56. > :54:00.fly-tipping, but individuals throw in bags out of their cars, how do

:54:01. > :54:03.you change that? It is very difficult, there is no single silver

:54:04. > :54:07.bullet which will solve the problem, if there was, it would have been

:54:08. > :54:11.found. But a mixture of carrot and stick, if you like. People need to

:54:12. > :54:15.feel that if you get caught speeding, you get fined, people know

:54:16. > :54:18.there is a deterrent there. If the fines are increased, that is a step

:54:19. > :54:23.in the right direction, definitely. But there has to be a real threat of

:54:24. > :54:26.being caught, and I will give you anecdotal evidence, I had meetings

:54:27. > :54:30.last week with two councils, and both councils and the Midland said

:54:31. > :54:33.to me neither of them employ any waste enforcement officers. So in

:54:34. > :54:40.those councils and the Midlands you have zero chance of being caught

:54:41. > :54:43.littering Orff fly-tipping. -- littering or fly-tipping. The most

:54:44. > :54:47.important thing is that we have a sustained cultural, behavioural

:54:48. > :54:50.change campaign, and that is something the government is

:54:51. > :54:53.committed to. At one thing we are very concerned about is that the

:54:54. > :54:56.government is going to be announcing that later today, but there is no

:54:57. > :55:00.funding whatsoever for this campaign. So that is a worry. I was

:55:01. > :55:04.going to ask you about how it will be enforced, but you have given a

:55:05. > :55:07.good example that. In other countries, this scheme in Germany,

:55:08. > :55:11.reverse vending machines, where there is an extra charge, for

:55:12. > :55:15.example, a bottle of pop that you can get from a shop, and when you

:55:16. > :55:21.take that back the money is refunded. But that work here? We

:55:22. > :55:25.think it certainly could work, that is called a deposit returns scheme,

:55:26. > :55:28.and as you say it works on the way that people take their can of

:55:29. > :55:32.Coca-Cola, or whatever, back, and they get a deposit. It acts as an

:55:37. > :55:42.was introduced in 2003, recycling rates in Germany improved to 98%.

:55:43. > :55:46.They are less than 50% in this country. We can catch up if we do

:55:47. > :55:51.the right thing. Let's talk about fly-tipping as well. That is a real

:55:52. > :55:56.problem, lots of different people have observed. How do you tackle

:55:57. > :56:00.that? You try to go after fly-tippers, but they are not being

:56:01. > :56:03.investigated. So what is the problem? As we know, since 2010

:56:04. > :56:06.councils have had a reduction in their funding across the board. They

:56:07. > :56:10.are semi- bankrupt, some of these councils. They don't have the

:56:11. > :56:15.resources to do the enforcement. To give you examples of two councils I

:56:16. > :56:17.met last week, they have no enforcement officers. One council

:56:18. > :56:20.was telling me they had caught someone fly-tipping but the only

:56:21. > :56:24.reason they caught them was because there was a water authority camera

:56:25. > :56:28.right next to where the fly-tippers were tipping, and they got caught

:56:29. > :56:31.because of that. So it is very, very difficult. And part of it is a

:56:32. > :56:36.resource issue, there is no getting away from that. And if you want to

:56:37. > :56:40.do the reverse vending, you need to get the manufacturers on board.

:56:41. > :56:44.Absolutely, but Coca-Cola, the largest manufacturer in the world,

:56:45. > :56:46.has done a U-turn on that in the last weeks, and after being

:56:47. > :56:50.adamantly against it, they have decided that they will be

:56:51. > :56:52.open-minded about that. So that is very, very good sign. I think they

:56:53. > :56:59.deserve credit for doing that. Time now to get the news,

:57:00. > :00:21.travel and weather where you are. Hello, this is Breakfast

:03:34. > :03:35.He came to work because he had a family to support.

:03:36. > :03:41.That was all he ever wanted to do, be there for his family.

:05:49. > :05:57.So much riding on these talks, James. What insight do you have? A

:05:58. > :06:03.lot riding on these talks, that is clear. Boris Johnson will arrive

:06:04. > :06:06.later in the day, to join Rex Tillerson who is already here, and

:06:07. > :06:18.they will be hoping to produce something quite muscular from a

:06:19. > :06:21.meeting of the key... United States to send a message to Moscow, to say

:06:22. > :06:28.that it can't go on standing shoulder to shoulder with the

:06:29. > :06:31.Russians, President Assad, but there is no agreement on any form of

:06:32. > :06:37.sanction, if the Russians do not back away from that outright support

:06:38. > :06:40.for President Assad. Rex Tillerson wants to go to Moscow later in the

:06:41. > :06:44.week with something quite powerful out of this meeting to confront the

:06:45. > :06:48.Russians with them say, you have to change your behaviour and recognise

:06:49. > :06:53.that Russia's global standing is suffering even more because of not

:06:54. > :06:57.your complicity necessarily in last week's gas attack, but the fact that

:06:58. > :07:00.it happened while Russian servicemen were at the base from which the

:07:01. > :07:06.chemical attack according to the Americans was launched, and if you

:07:07. > :07:09.are not complicit, you must have been, in Rex Tillerson's words,

:07:10. > :07:13.incompetent or outmanoeuvred to allow it to happen to. James Robbins

:07:14. > :07:19.in Italy, thank you for the update. Swedish police are continuing

:07:20. > :07:21.to question a man suspected of driving a hijacked lorry

:07:22. > :07:30.into a crowd of people in Stockholm The 39-year-old originally from

:07:31. > :07:33.Uzbekistan was facing deportation from Sweden and had expressed

:07:34. > :07:42.support for so-called Islamic State. Tens of thousands gathered to show

:07:43. > :07:43.support for those killed, including British father of two Chris

:07:49. > :07:50.state of emergency after attacks on two churches yesterday left

:07:51. > :07:53.at least 44 people dead. The measures allow the authorities

:07:56. > :07:59.police protect key sites. The so-called Islamic State group

:08:00. > :08:05.said it was behind both blasts. The BBC has uncovered evidence that

:08:06. > :08:07.appears to implicate the Bank of England in the so-called

:08:08. > :08:09.Libor scandal. A secret recording from 2008

:08:10. > :08:13.obtained by Panorama suggests it repeatedly pressured commercial

:08:14. > :08:16.banks to push down the rates at which they charged

:08:17. > :08:21.each other interest. Teaching unions say pressure

:08:22. > :08:23.on school budgets in England is leading to some vocational

:08:24. > :08:26.subjects being cut. Research from the NUT

:08:35. > :08:41.is at record levels but critics say Australian scientists say two thirds

:08:42. > :08:49.of the Great Barrier Reef has now been devastated by severe coral

:08:50. > :08:51.bleaching, caused by rising Let's talk to our Sydney

:08:52. > :09:02.correspondent, Phil Mercer. Good morning. Good morning. Coral

:09:03. > :09:08.bleaching is when algae within the coral leaves and the coral begins to

:09:09. > :09:12.staff. It doesn't necessarily die at that stage, but what scientists are

:09:13. > :09:16.worried about is the proximity of mass bleaching events on the Great

:09:17. > :09:23.Barrier Reef last year and this year isn't giving it enough time to

:09:24. > :09:27.recover. Last year they conducted a vast aerial survey and found a mass

:09:28. > :09:31.bleaching event in the northern section of the Great Barrier Reef.

:09:32. > :09:38.This time around they have found the same sort of damage in the central

:09:39. > :09:40.part of the Great Barrier Reef. The scientists are urging the Australian

:09:41. > :09:46.government to take immediate action to address climate change, because

:09:47. > :09:48.bleaching is caused by heat stress brought on by rising water

:09:49. > :09:53.temperatures, and conservationists believe that that is caused by

:09:54. > :09:59.global warming. Phil Mercer speaking to us from Sydney this morning.

:10:37. > :10:41.You have three hours? Yes, it is magical. It is ten past

:10:42. > :10:45.eight. Let's return to our main story.

:10:46. > :10:48.PC Keith Palmer was "dedicated to his job, brave and courageous"

:10:49. > :10:50.and "gave his life protecting our democracy" according

:10:51. > :10:54.He was stabbed outside the Palace of Westminster during last

:10:55. > :10:58.Later today PC Palmer will have a full police funeral

:10:59. > :11:05.Ahead of the service, his friends, PC Shaun Cartwright and PC

:11:06. > :11:08.Greg Rainey have described him as a loyal, hard working officer

:11:09. > :11:18.If you could paint a picture of the perfect policeman,

:11:19. > :11:25.you would be painting a picture of Keith Palmer.

:11:26. > :11:28.As a police officer, I never come across somebody who worked as hard

:11:29. > :11:36.The reason Keith came to work was for his family,

:11:37. > :11:44.but he was so proud to be a police officer.

:11:45. > :11:51.Very professional, very organised, and he loved everything about it.

:11:52. > :11:52.His favourite was being out on the streets, talking to members of the

:11:53. > :12:05.public. I know he was a fantastic father,

:12:06. > :12:13.and a fantastic husband and, um... and what a credit he is to

:12:14. > :12:27.the police service. He's such a lovely guy,

:12:28. > :12:29.and we're all going to We're joined now from Westminster

:12:30. > :12:33.by Ken Marsh, Chairman of the Metropolitan Police

:12:34. > :12:36.Federation. Thank you so much for your time this

:12:37. > :12:40.morning. I was round the corner from where you were last week at the

:12:41. > :12:44.service of hope for the victims of those Westminster attacks from two

:12:45. > :12:48.weeks ago. I wonder how you feel the police force is going to recover,

:12:49. > :12:55.particularly from the death of PC Keith Palmer? We will take every day

:12:56. > :12:58.as it comes, one day at a time, but today is a very moving day for us

:12:59. > :13:02.because we rest one of our colleagues, one of our heroes, and

:13:03. > :13:07.it is very fitting the amount of people who will be turning up from

:13:08. > :13:11.around the country from the other 42 forces, and members of the public,

:13:12. > :13:15.thousands of people will show their respect the fact that he gave his

:13:16. > :13:18.life serving his country. And tell us what exactly is going to happen

:13:19. > :13:25.to PC Keith Palmer's offers a number, that will be retired

:13:26. > :13:29.permanently? His warrant number will be retained by him, as a manner of

:13:30. > :13:34.respect, so that no one else will be able to use it in anyway, because it

:13:35. > :13:40.is his number and falls with him. In terms of what has happened since the

:13:41. > :13:44.attacks of two weeks ago, there has been a lot of discussion about

:13:45. > :13:47.arming of officers. I wonder whether there will be any change in that. Is

:13:48. > :13:53.that something that officers are talking about at the moment? There

:13:54. > :13:57.will be no knee jerk reaction from us, because it is not what we do. We

:13:58. > :14:00.will look very carefully at the circumstances of the incident and

:14:01. > :14:06.how it took place. We have thousands of officers on the streets of London

:14:07. > :14:09.who do not mandatory carry firearms, and we recently had a survey where

:14:10. > :14:13.they said they don't want to do that, they want specialist officers

:14:14. > :14:17.to carry firearms, but there will be nothing very quickly happening

:14:18. > :14:22.around that. So you don't think that is something that will be a topic of

:14:23. > :14:26.discussion in the coming weeks? You feel that overwhelmingly, police

:14:27. > :14:31.officers in London feel that the way things are done currently is the

:14:32. > :14:34.best way to protect officers? As I said, in a recent survey, my

:14:35. > :14:37.colleagues who responded in their thousands said they wanted to see

:14:38. > :14:42.more firearms officers, but they wanted them to be specialists. They

:14:43. > :14:46.didn't want mandatory arming of colleagues on the streets. That is

:14:47. > :14:52.not what we do and not what we are about. From a public response, quite

:14:53. > :14:56.a few people were surprised that somebody in his position wasn't

:14:57. > :15:00.armed on that day. Again, you have got to understand, I'm not sure that

:15:01. > :15:05.Keith Palmer being armed would have made any difference whatsoever to

:15:06. > :15:08.what race. This was an absolutely extraordinary incident that

:15:09. > :15:12.happened, and I'm not sure that arming would have helped at all. We

:15:13. > :15:16.have got to look very carefully at what we're talking about, and if

:15:17. > :15:20.more arming is required in that area, that will take place, but

:15:21. > :15:25.across the board, I don't think will happen.

:15:26. > :15:30.You said you expect thousands of police officers to be lining the

:15:31. > :15:33.route today. We heard from some of his close colleagues already on the

:15:34. > :15:37.programme this morning, how do you think the force will remember PC

:15:38. > :15:45.Palmer? Well, I think he will be remembered as a hero as a top cop.

:15:46. > :15:47.He was awarded top thief taker a couple of years ago which is

:15:48. > :15:51.extraordinary and all my colleagues around the country are turning up to

:15:52. > :15:54.show their respects which is a fitting mark and clearly shows what

:15:55. > :15:59.they think of PC Palmer. And there has been, if you read some

:16:00. > :16:03.of the messages on the flowers at Westminster Bridge and around where

:16:04. > :16:07.you are this morning, I do feel there has been a real response to

:16:08. > :16:12.the job that the police and the emergency services do as well and is

:16:13. > :16:15.that understanding, isn't it, Ken, the natural reaction in the

:16:16. > :16:18.situation he found himself is to run in the opposite direction, but

:16:19. > :16:21.that's not what the training says and he was protecting those who were

:16:22. > :16:26.working in the palace that day? Absolutely. The interesting thing is

:16:27. > :16:30.the public are our biggest critics, but when something like this

:16:31. > :16:33.happens, they come together in an extraordinary manner as you've seen

:16:34. > :16:37.over the last couple of weeks and they really support us because they

:16:38. > :16:40.don't like seeing this happening to one of their bobbies, one of their

:16:41. > :16:44.police officers on the street. It's very clear that they support us

:16:45. > :16:48.fully and you can see by the messages and the outpouring that's

:16:49. > :16:52.taken place, you know, just how fantastic the public are towards the

:16:53. > :16:56.police and we really respect that because we serve the police, we

:16:57. > :17:00.serve them and we're here for them and as you rightly say, we run

:17:01. > :17:03.towards it when they runaway from it and that's what we should be doing

:17:04. > :17:11.and that's what we will keep doing. Ken, it is really good to talk to

:17:12. > :17:17.you this morning. That's Ken Marsh. If you are if Westminster look at

:17:18. > :17:22.the messages. Some really moving stuff written on the flowers.

:17:23. > :17:27.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:17:28. > :17:35.Bottom Look at this picture from Bristolment one of our Weather

:17:36. > :17:41.Watchers sent it in. Yet we hit 25.5 Celsius, today it is more likely to

:17:42. > :17:44.be 13 Celsius. It is cooler air. It's filtering down from the north.

:17:45. > :17:48.Today we have got a north-westerly breeze of the many of us are

:17:49. > :17:52.starting off with beautiful sunrises and beautiful sunshine, but you will

:17:53. > :17:55.find through the day some fair-weather cloud will bubble up

:17:56. > :17:59.and one or two of us will see showers developing.

:18:00. > :18:06.You might see one in the Midlands. If you do, it will be short-lived

:18:07. > :18:10.and fleeting. For south-west England you hang on to the sunshine through

:18:11. > :18:15.the day. Not as warm as yesterday. Wales, also seeing sunshine or at

:18:16. > :18:18.worst sunny intervals as the fair-weather cloud builds. For

:18:19. > :18:22.Northern Ireland, you could catch a shower as we go through the day.

:18:23. > :18:26.Again, not everywhere. Showers across northern and north Western

:18:27. > :18:31.Scotland falling as snow on the tops of the mountains, but a lot of dry

:18:32. > :18:34.weather too. You're more likely to catch showers across Yorkshire and

:18:35. > :18:37.Lincolnshire and Cumbria and Lancashire you have got a drier

:18:38. > :18:41.picture with sunny spells and it is the same for East Anglia heading

:18:42. > :18:44.down towards Can?t. As we go through the evening and overnight, look at

:18:45. > :18:48.the huge spacing in the isobars. That tells you there is not much of

:18:49. > :18:52.a breeze. So where the cloud breaks, there will be frost, but we have got

:18:53. > :18:54.another weather front coming in across northern and north Western

:18:55. > :18:59.Scotland. That's introducing rain and you will have that when it sets

:19:00. > :19:03.in for the next 24 hours or so on and off. So frost in the

:19:04. > :19:06.countryside. These temperatures are more representative of what's going

:19:07. > :19:10.to happen in towns and cities. Where we have got the breaks in the cloud,

:19:11. > :19:13.of course, with the cold start is where we will see the sunshine. The

:19:14. > :19:16.rain continuing across the north and the north-west of Scotland. For

:19:17. > :19:18.Northern Ireland and Southern Scotland and northern England, more

:19:19. > :19:22.cloud will develop through the course of the day. And temperatures

:19:23. > :19:27.12 to 17 Celsius. Our temperatures are still a bit above average for

:19:28. > :19:30.this stage in April. If we choose London, we would normally be about

:19:31. > :19:34.13 Celsius. We are looking at 17 Celsius. So, as we go through

:19:35. > :19:37.Wednesday, our weather front continues its decent. Much later in

:19:38. > :19:41.the day getting into Southern England as a weak affair. But as it

:19:42. > :19:44.crosses out of Scotland and Northern Ireland and into Northern England

:19:45. > :19:48.and Wales, you will see some rain on it, with the cloud building ahead of

:19:49. > :19:53.itment behind it, once again, a mixture of sunshine and showers. And

:19:54. > :19:56.we're easily into double figures. For some of us mid-double figures.

:19:57. > :19:59.Thursday again, a chilly start where the cloud has broken. That's where

:20:00. > :20:04.we will have the sunshine. More rain coming in across the north and the

:20:05. > :20:08.west. Temperatures still roughly ten to 14 Celsius. Leading us into Good

:20:09. > :20:12.Friday. Here is our rain continuing to move across Northern England and

:20:13. > :20:16.knee Wales and the south-west. Very little getting into the east. There

:20:17. > :20:22.will be some. Behind t once again sunshine and showers. So, for the

:20:23. > :20:25.Easter weekend, we are looking at a dry picture. However, there will be

:20:26. > :20:29.some showers as well as the sunshine. Most of the showers

:20:30. > :20:36.falling on Saturday and we will hang on to that cool wind as well, Dan

:20:37. > :20:41.and Lou. In half an hour's test, we have got

:20:42. > :20:48.a little test for you. We're doing letters that you'd write to your

:20:49. > :20:54.younger self. 8.45am what would you write to your younger self? I gave

:20:55. > :21:00.up swimming when I was 15 because I thought I was too musty. My letter

:21:01. > :21:06.would be to myself be proud of murder muscles. Is there any muscle

:21:07. > :21:10.there? Do you mind if I... Be proud of your muscles. Don't give up

:21:11. > :21:15.sport. It is like a grapefruit. Impressive stuff! Don't give up

:21:16. > :21:20.sport. Be proud of your muscles, everyone.

:21:21. > :21:22.If you could write a letter to your younger self,

:21:23. > :21:28.We will come to yours in a minute. Mine are particularly impressive. I

:21:29. > :21:35.can do them if you want! That's the concept behind

:21:36. > :21:42.a new art exhibition in Birmingham. There are lots of ideas here.

:21:43. > :21:45.Hundreds of letters that are on display. Some really positive

:21:46. > :21:48.interesting messages coming through and it really is an interesting

:21:49. > :21:52.concept, not just about writing a letter to yourself, but just writing

:21:53. > :21:56.a letter. When was the last time you sat down with pen and paper and hand

:21:57. > :22:01.wrote a letter? Look at some of these. You have been so strong. Such

:22:02. > :22:05.a fighter and your friends and family have admired your courage and

:22:06. > :22:10.appreciated your willingness to let you take care of you. "You are

:22:11. > :22:21.unique and may maizing. So don't feel like you're not. Don't wake up

:22:22. > :22:26.and be in a miserable mood." This started from Jodie's idea to get

:22:27. > :22:32.people to write her letters. She was asking people if they were down to

:22:33. > :22:36.get in touch and she would write them a letter. Jodie joins us now.

:22:37. > :22:40.Good morning. Good morning. This idea is not letters written by you,

:22:41. > :22:46.but from other people, how did it start? I was in a really dark place.

:22:47. > :22:49.I've got ME and came depression and anxiety and this became my

:22:50. > :22:56.lighthouse. I reached out to the world and said if you need a helping

:22:57. > :23:00.hand, write an e-mail to me and I'll hand write you a lovely letter

:23:01. > :23:03.telling you how amazing you are because we just need reminding

:23:04. > :23:08.sometimes. People are so positive when they put pen to paper. What is

:23:09. > :23:14.it about writing a letter that makes people put messages like this that

:23:15. > :23:18.are really honest? It is like real life magic because we have become

:23:19. > :23:21.such a technology, it is a big thing in our lives and to actually sit

:23:22. > :23:26.down and write a letter, it is an intimate thing to do and people just

:23:27. > :23:29.kind of spill themselves out in and as you read them all, it's just

:23:30. > :23:35.little bits of people's stories and some of them have been through

:23:36. > :23:38.really dark times and they've just, the whole walls are full of

:23:39. > :23:44.positivity and wonderfulness and it is really nice to be around. You

:23:45. > :23:48.wrote your first grandmother to your grandmother when you were just five

:23:49. > :23:55.years old. It is therapeutic. My mum sat us down. My nan had died and she

:23:56. > :24:00.got us to write a little letter to heaven. We posted it in the post box

:24:01. > :24:06.and letters have been a big part of my life. I always leave them around

:24:07. > :24:10.for people. It is nice to be in a room where I'm surrounded by them.

:24:11. > :24:15.You have received so many letters. People from around the world asking

:24:16. > :24:18.you to write back with messages of advice, or positivity. Were you

:24:19. > :24:25.surprised by how many people have got in touch? I've 4,000 letters in

:24:26. > :24:30.the last four years and we have 8,000 in the in-box, everyone needs

:24:31. > :24:34.to know that we need to know we're loved and we're not on our own

:24:35. > :24:37.because the world can feel lonely and everybody needs that from

:24:38. > :24:41.people, very, very young to people that are elderly. Everybody needs to

:24:42. > :24:45.know that they are not on their own in the world and it just reaches so

:24:46. > :24:50.many people and it is a wonderful thing to be able to do and call my

:24:51. > :24:53.little job because I get to sit and remind people how wonderful they are

:24:54. > :24:55.every day and I'm really proud of what it has become. The effort

:24:56. > :25:01.that's gone into the lettersment look at these. We've got felt tip

:25:02. > :25:06.pence and glitter and I have had a go myself! I have not had a lot of

:25:07. > :25:11.time, I will be honest. It is not quite up the standard of this and my

:25:12. > :25:15.personal message is always listen to your mum and don't play with glitter

:25:16. > :25:19.on live TV! Thank you very much, Holly. That's

:25:20. > :25:24.good advice. Always listen to your mum.

:25:25. > :25:26.We've been asking what advice you'd give your younger self.

:25:27. > :25:30.Emma says she'd tell herself, "Don't stick to your original plans

:25:31. > :25:32.just because it's the thing you always thought you'd do."

:25:33. > :25:35.Martyn says his advice would be, "Skip the whole

:25:36. > :25:38.partying stage of life because its ultimately costly.

:25:39. > :25:42.Open a savings account and retire at 45."

:25:43. > :25:44.But Helen takes a different view, she says "Relax.

:25:45. > :25:47.None of those qualifications you are killing yourself to get

:25:48. > :25:59.Some great ones. Patsy Kensit. "You have a great passion for

:26:00. > :26:03.rock'n'roll, but that doesn't mean you have to marry the lead singer of

:26:04. > :26:10.every band you ever had a poster of on your bedroom wall." Sound advice.

:26:11. > :26:13.Emma Thompson said, "Don't ever, ever, ever bother going on a diet.

:26:14. > :26:19.Try to avoid rubbish and never diet. You will end up the same size

:26:20. > :26:24.anyway. Drop it girls. Drop it now. Believe me, nobody cares." Trevor

:26:25. > :26:32.says, "Don't work in the family business." Kirsty says to herself,

:26:33. > :26:38."Don't go out with that idiot and learn Italian and live in Rome."

:26:39. > :26:43.Mine would be to myself, "Piano is not for losers." I was convinced as

:26:44. > :26:46.a young man and pay more attention in languages at school. Don't mess

:26:47. > :26:51.about with your mates at the back because that would have been handy.

:26:52. > :26:56.Especially in your job as well. A lot of people are suggesting don't

:26:57. > :27:01.buy the blue suit. I'm crushed by that!

:27:02. > :27:07.I think that's really unfair. Send - you know I love that suit.

:34:11. > :34:16.let's reflect on a wonderful golfing weekend. Especially for the

:34:17. > :34:23.Spaniard, Sergio Garcia. Yes, he joined his idols, Seve Ballesteros

:34:24. > :34:28.and Olazabal, as another Spaniard to win the masters. Danny Willett

:34:29. > :34:33.handing over that jacket. He didn't make the cut to defend his title,

:34:34. > :34:36.poor thing. But the green jacket goes to Sergio Garcia. And that is

:34:37. > :34:41.the only story in town and we will talk to a professional golfer about

:34:42. > :34:47.that win in a moment but first let's bring you the full story. After 73

:34:48. > :34:50.failed attempts, Sergio Garcia has won his first major championship. He

:34:51. > :34:54.beat Justin Rose in a play-off in a dramatic final round at the masters.

:34:55. > :34:59.Sergio Garcia is the third Spaniard to win at Augusta on what was a

:35:00. > :35:04.particularly poignant today. Watch out for flash photography.

:35:05. > :35:15.And Sergio Garcia winning a first Major on the day

:35:16. > :35:17.that his hero Ballesteros turned 60 was one of them.

:35:18. > :35:27.To do it on his 60th birthday and to join him

:35:28. > :35:30.and Olazabal, my two idols in golf, my whole life, it is

:35:31. > :35:36.And no wonder, the battle he had with Justin Rose was among

:35:37. > :35:44.It was simply a two horse race for the title.

:35:45. > :35:47.They were both on eight under par going to the final nine holes.

:35:48. > :35:49.The Spaniard seemed to collapse, finding the trees, the rough,

:35:50. > :35:55.He needed something special on the 15th, and he found it.

:35:56. > :36:06.The trees of Augusta Sheikh with the noise! An eagle!

:36:07. > :36:09.And with the tree still shaking, he would get that eagle,

:36:10. > :36:11.only for Justin Rose to get a birdie himself.

:36:12. > :36:12.The Olympic champion never giving up.

:36:13. > :36:15.With three holes to play, they were both nine under.

:36:16. > :36:18.Yet these Ryder Cup teammates and good friends kept going at it.

:36:19. > :36:29.Their shots into the final green equally impressive.

:36:30. > :36:33.Neither man deserved to lose, in truth.

:36:34. > :36:36.They both missed their putts, meaning a sudden death play-off.

:36:37. > :36:52.At the 74th attempt, Sergio Garcia has mastered the Majors,

:36:53. > :37:06.Pointing to the sky for Seve Ballesteros. A great story.

:37:07. > :37:10.Justin Rose was the other man in the story of this final round.

:37:11. > :37:13.He came so close, but he was full of praise his playing partner.

:37:14. > :37:15.I am disappointed, I don't know how I feel about it.

:37:16. > :37:19.You are losing the play-off, and then sudden death,

:37:20. > :37:30.Sergio and I separated ourselves from the field.

:37:31. > :37:36.He had a great comeback when he made par from the trees and that was the

:37:37. > :37:39.turning point for him. Really happy for Sergio. I would love to be

:37:40. > :37:41.wearing the green jacket but if it wasn't to be me, I feel good for

:37:42. > :37:47.him. Some of you may well have stayed up

:37:48. > :37:50.to watch the Spaniard beat Justin Rose in a dramatic play off

:37:51. > :37:52.late last night. Andrew Murray was a professional

:37:53. > :37:54.golfer on the European tour for over a decade,

:37:55. > :38:00.and he's with us in the studio. I know that you flew home to watch

:38:01. > :38:02.the final round at home. Give us some context about how tired you

:38:03. > :38:06.are! But what an amazing win for Sergio Garcia after so many people

:38:07. > :38:11.had written him off as a major champion. I just think it was such a

:38:12. > :38:15.great theatre. When you saw it, you couldn't keep your eyes off the Gulf

:38:16. > :38:20.last night. Goodness knows what time it is, by the way! I have just come

:38:21. > :38:26.back from Augusta. The quality of the golf on the sportsmanship for me

:38:27. > :38:31.was just exemplary. The quality of the iron shots that they both hit,

:38:32. > :38:35.Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia, fantastic. The response from the

:38:36. > :38:38.crowd, when they started singing Sergio afterwards, I have never been

:38:39. > :38:44.there when a non-American has won and for the noise to be that loud

:38:45. > :38:48.was just sensational. He is hugely popular and do you think it comes

:38:49. > :38:51.from that struggle that he has had? We have seen him coming so close to

:38:52. > :38:56.winning major champion chips before and this is his 74th attempt and he

:38:57. > :39:01.finally did it. That is what made him so popular. I think everybody

:39:02. > :39:10.that was neutral was a Garcia fan yesterday. I am a massive fan. Randy

:39:11. > :39:17.?4, 74 times I have put ?1 on him each way. I put money on him as

:39:18. > :39:23.well! I called it. That has never happened to me before. So who will

:39:24. > :39:26.win the US Open? They are both in such good form and they have such

:39:27. > :39:30.respect for the game and the history of the game and you could see from

:39:31. > :39:33.those interviews that they are both class acts. It came down to the

:39:34. > :39:38.play-off on a team but there was that crucial one on 15 for Garcia

:39:39. > :39:42.when he picked up the first eagle in a long time for him. It was just the

:39:43. > :39:47.best iron shot you have ever seen, clipping the side of the flag,

:39:48. > :39:51.pitching a foot short of the hole, clipping the side of the flag and

:39:52. > :39:56.that could have gone anywhere. We have seen shots like that going in

:39:57. > :40:06.the water. Then he hold it, which was crucial, and then there was

:40:07. > :40:12.another birdie. Captivating. And what I putt that was, last-gasp. And

:40:13. > :40:16.Justin, happy that Sergio won, but what impact will that have on him

:40:17. > :40:23.being so close? It will impact on him for some time but he will be

:40:24. > :40:30.gutted that he missed at the 70s, but he won't have any qualms. He is

:40:31. > :40:35.a champion. -- at the 17th. This is a piece of history for Sergio.

:40:36. > :40:39.Conditions on the first two days were very tough at Augusta. Is it

:40:40. > :40:43.the hardest it has played in a while? I have been there a few times

:40:44. > :40:47.and it is the hardest I have ever seen. It was brutally difficult. For

:40:48. > :40:54.those of you that haven't been, I know you have, the huge pine trees,

:40:55. > :40:57.elevation changes, winds gusting, it was really difficult to pick the

:40:58. > :41:02.wind, whether it was a fraction of the right or left and it was a

:41:03. > :41:07.really tricky day. I sat by the 15th as a spectator for the first time

:41:08. > :41:12.for ages. I have never seen so many balls with a pitching or sand wedge

:41:13. > :41:19.going into the water at 15 and that is how difficult and testing it was.

:41:20. > :41:23.Sergio was bogey free on the first day which was incredible. Now go and

:41:24. > :41:26.get some sleep! Thank you. Brilliant weekend. Thank you for watching this

:41:27. > :41:30.morning. A former spy murdered in a Mayfair

:41:48. > :42:26.and the detectives tasked And after you drank from the pot,

:42:27. > :42:36.did Andre drink anything from that pot? No, for sure. The ingestion.

:42:37. > :43:01.Eating something was important. There was huge scrutiny on this.

:43:02. > :43:04.We're joined now by the journalist who made that documentary,

:43:05. > :43:06.Richard Kerbaj, and by Alexander Litvinenko's

:43:07. > :43:17.It is really great for you to come and speak to us on BBC Breakfast.

:43:18. > :43:20.Tell us why you wanted to be part of this documentary because there are

:43:21. > :43:28.still unanswered questions, aren't there? I am very proud of this

:43:29. > :43:31.documentary. It is the first time it has been presented. I always say the

:43:32. > :43:35.police were brilliant and because of them this case was investigated. We

:43:36. > :43:41.know now who killed Sasha and probably who was behind that. We

:43:42. > :43:46.heard that in the public inquiry verdict. I am very glad that people

:43:47. > :43:53.will see this again. Some facts have never been known before. What I find

:43:54. > :43:58.really interesting, from the outside looking in, it is a fascinating

:43:59. > :44:01.story and there is so much intrigue involved, but for you it is very

:44:02. > :44:04.personal. You have been fighting this battle for many years. It must

:44:05. > :44:13.have had a huge impact on you and the rest of your family. I have

:44:14. > :44:19.supportive friends and particularly my family and my son. I could not do

:44:20. > :44:23.it if they didn't support me. Even if they said on one day, please

:44:24. > :44:28.don't do it any more, but they always support me. Over all these

:44:29. > :44:31.years, when it was not easy at all. But friends of mine, and people I

:44:32. > :44:37.met on the street, they told me well done. They were really proud of what

:44:38. > :44:45.I was doing. Once I received that thank you, you are teaching us to be

:44:46. > :44:49.British. Incredible. Richard, you set out the story from the

:44:50. > :44:53.beginning, don't you? Right at the start of this, police were not even

:44:54. > :44:58.sure who was being treated in hospital bed, in some ways.

:44:59. > :45:02.Precisely. Initially when Litvinenko checked into hospital he checked in

:45:03. > :45:08.under the assumed name of Edwin Carter. He mentioned to the hospital

:45:09. > :45:13.staff that he was feeling ill and he also mentioned his actual name,

:45:14. > :45:17.Alexander Litvinenko, and his former job, when the police were drawn in

:45:18. > :45:24.at that point. Even then when the initial detective came in, to

:45:25. > :45:29.interview him, he didn't know whether or not he was being told the

:45:30. > :45:30.truth. He checked it out and it proved to be true and that is when

:45:31. > :45:40.the police started interviewing him. Alexander was sure from the

:45:41. > :45:47.beginning that something amiss had happened. Yes. He was a military

:45:48. > :45:51.trained. He knew some symptoms. From the second day he said it did not

:45:52. > :45:56.look like food poisoning, flu or anything. It looks like chemical

:45:57. > :46:02.poisoning. I could not believe it when we took him to hospital, people

:46:03. > :46:06.in hospital could not prove he was poisoned almost for 12 days it was a

:46:07. > :46:09.very difficult time. He knew something was wrong but we did not

:46:10. > :46:13.have support to prove it. Let's look at another clip

:46:14. > :46:15.from the documentary. This is one of the investigating

:46:16. > :46:17.officers, Detective Superintendent Clive Timmons, discussing the moment

:46:18. > :46:37.he first heard about the poison One of our experts said, we've found

:46:38. > :46:43.a tiny spike of polonium, but is probably an anomaly in the plastic

:46:44. > :46:50.container. We have all grown up watching James Bond. We all know

:46:51. > :47:02.plutonium and uranium. I said, polonium, don't you mean plutonium?

:47:03. > :47:07.This, he said, no, Clive, I mean polonium 210. What is that? It is

:47:08. > :47:15.the most toxic substance known to man. OK. How do we find out? Clive

:47:16. > :47:18.talking to the documentary team. What more do we learn from the

:47:19. > :47:24.documentary we do not already know from the public enquiry? Clive

:47:25. > :47:29.Timmons has never told his story. Also Brian, who went to Moscow,

:47:30. > :47:41.talks about how his investigation in Moscow was riddled with obstacles

:47:42. > :47:44.and have even he himself, colleagues were allegedly poisoned. They put

:47:45. > :47:50.something in their tea which gave them upset stomachs for a few days.

:47:51. > :47:58.They were followed by FSB officers. Rooms were searched. He would find

:47:59. > :48:02.his clothes had been moved. At one point, there is a great moment when

:48:03. > :48:08.he was walking across a bridge and he was being followed by two FSB

:48:09. > :48:17.officers. Brian Tarr B says to his colleagues, why don't we just stop

:48:18. > :48:20.here on the bridge? Two other officers walk past. It was their

:48:21. > :48:30.chance to take control of the situation. Marina, you said at the

:48:31. > :48:33.time, when Alexander said he thought it was a chemical attack, you are

:48:34. > :48:40.surprised. Where you worried about your safety in the UK? Not so much.

:48:41. > :48:47.Sasha was every time concerning. People in Russia would not let him

:48:48. > :48:57.alone. One day he would be punished. He believed we are in the UK,

:48:58. > :49:03.seeking political asylum. He said we are under protection of the Queen.

:49:04. > :49:10.He was really happy that Alexander was in a freedom country. We might

:49:11. > :49:15.miss something in Russia. It is difficult to start another lie. We

:49:16. > :49:19.have another life for our son. Have you ever been worried in the ten

:49:20. > :49:26.years since about your own safety and the questions into probing about

:49:27. > :49:33.what happened? It is a human case what I do. I am not motivated any

:49:34. > :49:37.political reason. This is not against my home country, Russia.

:49:38. > :49:44.This is for my husband, Sasha, his memory, my son. This makes me feel

:49:45. > :49:46.sick. Thank you for coming to talk to us. Thank you for talking about

:49:47. > :49:49.the documentary as well. The Hunt for the KGB

:49:50. > :50:00.Killers is on Channel 4 Let's find out what is happening in

:50:01. > :50:06.the weather, not just today but for the next few days as well.

:50:07. > :50:11.A lovely weekend in terms of temperature and sunshine amounts.

:50:12. > :50:20.Not as warm today but we are starting with beautiful sunrises.

:50:21. > :50:24.That picture from Essex. In Cornwall, a beautiful start to the

:50:25. > :50:33.day. More clout than yesterday. Yesterday, the Doctor Butcher was

:50:34. > :50:40.25.5 Celsius in Cambridge. -- temperatures got up to 25.5 Celsius.

:50:41. > :50:45.Temperatures will still be above average for this stage in April. We

:50:46. > :50:50.start off with loose skies through the day. We will see Fairweather

:50:51. > :50:53.cloud develop. Big enough here and there for the odd shower,

:50:54. > :50:58.particularly in Scotland and eastern parts of England. For the rest of us

:50:59. > :51:02.it will be dry. A bright afternoon with sunny intervals across the

:51:03. > :51:07.Midlands and towards the Isle of Wight. Hanging onto some sunshine,

:51:08. > :51:12.as will Wales. Again now be a little bit of crowd here and there. Sunny

:51:13. > :51:17.intervals rather than wall-to-wall blue skies. In Northern Ireland

:51:18. > :51:23.showers at the moment. A few showers to come with sunny intervals. On the

:51:24. > :51:27.tops of the mountains the showers are likely to be wintry.

:51:28. > :51:33.Nevertheless there will be sunny intervals. Sunny intervals across

:51:34. > :51:38.northern England. If you see a shower in the Midlands, it will be

:51:39. > :51:43.fleeting. East Anglia and the south-east should stay dry with

:51:44. > :51:48.sunny spells. Look at the split in the isobars. Not much of a breeze.

:51:49. > :51:52.Whether sky is clear there will be frost in the countryside. Also

:51:53. > :51:55.whether Frank coming south introducing some rain across the

:51:56. > :52:03.North West of Scotland northern Scotland. We start the day with it

:52:04. > :52:08.tomorrow. A keen breeze. Away from that you will notice there will be

:52:09. > :52:12.variable amounts of cloud and some sunny spells. Temperatures through

:52:13. > :52:18.the course of tomorrow ranging from 11 in the north to highs of 17 in

:52:19. > :52:22.the south. That temperature is way above average. In London at this

:52:23. > :52:27.stage in April it would be 13. Through Wednesday, our whether Frank

:52:28. > :52:32.continues its descent, eventually making its way south. -- weather

:52:33. > :52:35.front. It will be a noticeable breeze. If you're in it hit will

:52:36. > :52:43.feel chilly air and come from the West. Behind it a mixture of

:52:44. > :52:48.sunshine and showers. On Thursday, there will still be some rain,

:52:49. > :52:54.especially so across western areas. Not so much in the East. More to

:52:55. > :53:02.come. On good Friday the scenario of rain heading south. This is not a

:53:03. > :53:03.bad forecast for this stage in April had we not had such glorious weather

:53:04. > :53:16.at the weekend. We have been Birmingham looking at

:53:17. > :53:21.letters written to their younger selves. What would jaws be? I would

:53:22. > :53:27.say, have more confidence in yourself. Trust those you know and

:53:28. > :53:33.love, whose opinion matters to you. No one else plus 's opinion does.

:53:34. > :53:38.Brilliant advice. Thank you so much. A life lesson from Carol Kirkwood.

:53:39. > :53:43.This is a lovely one. All things that have happened to me make me who

:53:44. > :53:47.I am now. I would not reassure myself it would be OK. Samantha

:53:48. > :53:52.says, some would love you others would not. Do not waste time

:53:53. > :53:56.worrying who does and who does not. Enjoy those who appreciate you for

:53:57. > :54:00.who you are. Gordon says, do not think too much. Kick back and enjoy

:54:01. > :54:04.the ride. Some really great advice out there.

:54:05. > :54:07.She's with a freight train that's travelled more than 7,000

:54:08. > :54:12.And it's just about to head home to the Far East laden

:54:13. > :54:25.Good morning. Good morning. My advice as well would be, be yourself

:54:26. > :54:31.and do not let anyone. Let me tell you where I am. This is fascinating.

:54:32. > :54:35.This is a massive port. Into the distance is a container ship where

:54:36. > :54:39.lots of lots of containers of staff will be taken on and off. The really

:54:40. > :54:44.interesting thing going on is this. Have a look at this. This is the

:54:45. > :54:54.first train which will be travelling from the UK all the way to China.

:54:55. > :54:58.There are 30 containers on it, full of things made here in the UK. You

:54:59. > :55:02.have pharmaceuticals, soft drinks, food, baby products. Lots of things

:55:03. > :55:08.the Chinese want to buy from us. It is all a part of global trade. I

:55:09. > :55:18.have a couple of guests here. The Prime Minister's global ambassador.

:55:19. > :55:21.This is history in the making. 203 years ago, almost of the day,

:55:22. > :55:28.Britain brought railways to the world in Merthyr Tydfil moving pig

:55:29. > :55:34.iron around. Today we have these thin, steel rails that goes 7500

:55:35. > :55:38.miles to China, taking trade to learn from China. It is an important

:55:39. > :55:45.day. We'll ready transport products to run from China by the sea. -- we

:55:46. > :55:54.already transport. What is the difference? Why is rail part of the

:55:55. > :55:59.story? It is quicker. My guess is that the rail one, once they get it

:56:00. > :56:03.working faster it will become a very important way of dealing with

:56:04. > :56:09.products. We bring in a lot more than we export to China. Do you see

:56:10. > :56:13.that changing in the future? Our exports to China have gone up over

:56:14. > :56:18.60% since 2010, in the last six years. I wish my company was growing

:56:19. > :56:23.so fast. It is phenomenal growth and growing break quickly. One of the

:56:24. > :56:28.concerns is around what will happen with trade because of us leaving the

:56:29. > :56:34.European Union. Do you see China as being one country which will fill

:56:35. > :56:40.the gaps? We need to trade with the world. To go 7500 miles to other

:56:41. > :56:45.countries buying and selling goods can I do not think this has much to

:56:46. > :56:51.do in the long term with whether we are in the EU or not. It is global

:56:52. > :56:56.trade. We have heard about the significance. Tell us as well about

:56:57. > :57:00.the trade we do with China. We are looking at these stats all the time

:57:01. > :57:06.to stop it is huge and 60 billion at the moment. It is constantly

:57:07. > :57:13.growing. China needs our skills and products. It is looking at things

:57:14. > :57:22.constantly. There is so much that we make in you -- in the UK which sells

:57:23. > :57:26.really well in China. It was all about brands before but now it is

:57:27. > :57:30.about quality. There are looking at the heritage of things, style.

:57:31. > :57:35.They're becoming more and more the chore as consumers, I think. In

:57:36. > :57:43.terms of this network and the change it will bring, given, as Rupert was

:57:44. > :57:48.saying it is faster than sending things by C. Certainly. The guys

:57:49. > :57:53.have proved it is possible. As it settles down, there will be more

:57:54. > :57:59.trains going all over China. It offers a new option, a faster

:58:00. > :58:06.option. It suits more particular products like cars and big bulky

:58:07. > :58:10.items. In your role as the global business ambassador, what would

:58:11. > :58:14.encourage more exports? Things have picked up a bit in a fall in the

:58:15. > :58:20.value of the pound. What else will get a selling more across the world?

:58:21. > :58:24.More people doing the hard yards, tramping the streets and selling our

:58:25. > :58:28.products. Spending their time selling around Africa, Asia and

:58:29. > :58:38.South America. It is hard work exporting. It is the only way to

:58:39. > :58:41.survive in the business today. Before we go, have a look at this.

:58:42. > :58:43.It is fascinating that this is them preparing with the trains. They are

:58:44. > :58:47.putting containers on, the last few containers. It will take 17 days to

:58:48. > :58:51.get where it is going to. Passing through lots of different countries

:58:52. > :58:56.on the way. Certainly, really important part of the global trade

:58:57. > :59:02.story hit the UK. That is it for me this morning.

:59:03. > :59:11.Thank you very much. The sun came out, didn't it? Thank you.

:59:12. > :59:13.Marie-Elsa Bragg's life as a chaplain at Westminster Cathedral

:59:14. > :59:15.couldn't be further removed from her Cumbrian roots.

:59:16. > :59:17.But judging by her debut novel, her heart very much remains

:59:18. > :59:24.Towards Mellbreak tells one family's tale over

:59:25. > :59:28.the course of nearly 25 years as they struggle to keep traditions

:59:29. > :59:33.Marie-Elsa, daughter of the writer and broadcaster

:59:34. > :59:50.It is lovely to see you. Thank you so much for having me. It is a

:59:51. > :59:57.celebration of Cumbrian rural life. Why did you decide to write this

:59:58. > :00:01.type of novel? I have been working as a spiritual director for 25 years

:00:02. > :00:05.and as a priest at various stages for 15 years and we have just

:00:06. > :00:09.finished the battle for equality for women, and I just needed time to go

:00:10. > :00:14.away and take life in at the retreat and it seemed natural to go to the

:00:15. > :00:18.fells, so I just walked and I wrote, and I just needed to be created for

:00:19. > :00:24.a while and after a while I realised it was a novel. What was in my mind

:00:25. > :00:28.was how beautiful the old traditions that we have can be, and how do we

:00:29. > :00:32.keep them when times are changing so fast? That was a big thing that I

:00:33. > :00:38.was working out. What can we do to keep them alive? When you started

:00:39. > :00:42.writing, it was just an experiment and it developed into a novel? I

:00:43. > :00:45.think it was a natural thing just to retreat and be creative. It is a

:00:46. > :00:49.strong part of the Cumbrian culture but I think a lot of people find

:00:50. > :00:53.that it is important to take time out in life and be creative and

:00:54. > :01:00.maybe go to the mountains for a while. Otherwise life passes you by

:01:01. > :01:05.too quickly. I love that you said that you noticed that it was a

:01:06. > :01:08.novel. What were you setting out to write before that? I was just

:01:09. > :01:11.writing, just working things through in a creative way, but I realised I

:01:12. > :01:14.was getting attached to the characters and then I thought maybe

:01:15. > :01:21.I should continue and do this for a bit and it was lovely to do. Hard

:01:22. > :01:25.but lovely. It is a timely reminder of what Easter is all about. The

:01:26. > :01:31.debate last week about chocolate eggs. It is about much more than

:01:32. > :01:35.that. Yes, it is. One of the things about used in this country is that

:01:36. > :01:39.you have spring at the same time, so there is repetition of new birth,

:01:40. > :01:43.which is beautiful, because you have it all around you. And we do have

:01:44. > :01:48.extraordinary old traditions. Up in Cumbria we would be boiling eggs in

:01:49. > :01:53.vinegar and brown paper to tie-dyed them, hanging them on trees, rolling

:01:54. > :01:58.them down hills, big festivals that came through local traditions and

:01:59. > :02:02.local stories. You get to learn about what your great ancestors

:02:03. > :02:06.would have done and feel almost like you are alongside them, which is one

:02:07. > :02:10.of the beauties of these festivals, having them over and over again and

:02:11. > :02:13.passing them on to future generations. So it is really

:02:14. > :02:17.important from your point of view to remember lots of different

:02:18. > :02:21.traditions? To remember them, local traditions, and doing something

:02:22. > :02:26.later in the year with Lin Macmillan. We are doing something

:02:27. > :02:28.across the Pennines and they have different traditions to us in

:02:29. > :02:35.Cumbria but they are so beautiful and so rich. And so many stories of

:02:36. > :02:38.their great-great-grandparents and they are there for us to pass on to

:02:39. > :02:46.our children and grandchildren. The incredible legacy that we have. That

:02:47. > :02:50.element of faith comes straight through throughout the book. If you

:02:51. > :02:54.are back on your personal history, you have been through a lot in your

:02:55. > :02:58.life. Your mother committed suicide and you had a strange illness of a

:02:59. > :03:01.decade that robbed you of ten years of your life. I wonder how important

:03:02. > :03:11.your faith has been through those low points. It is fundamental but I

:03:12. > :03:15.am very aware that there are days when you just have to have faith

:03:16. > :03:21.that you will have faith. And I am aware that there are days when even

:03:22. > :03:27.the old cupboard in the kitchen feels beautiful and amazing. Faith

:03:28. > :03:31.is a journey that you go through. If we try and put it into a category

:03:32. > :03:35.and gets dogmatic about it, then we are trying to fit a whole life of

:03:36. > :03:41.experience into something that is too simple. Faith is about being

:03:42. > :03:45.able to doubt, to love, and I think there is something about growing in

:03:46. > :03:49.your faith, just like love, just like in a relationship. I can get

:03:50. > :03:53.difficult but you have got to learn to love more deeply in the

:03:54. > :03:59.difficulties that you find and wait for that to come into you like good

:04:00. > :04:02.wine. I don't know how you would describe this, but ten lost years

:04:03. > :04:07.where you have this extraordinary illness. And your dad and your

:04:08. > :04:12.grandparents helped you and looked after you through that illness. You

:04:13. > :04:16.don't remember it, do you? I don't remember a lot of it. It is a

:04:17. > :04:23.sweeping generalisation because how do you describe all the bits? But I

:04:24. > :04:30.think it was harder for other people when I was really out. My

:04:31. > :04:39.grandmother was amazing. She is such a loving, good person, but then I

:04:40. > :04:43.had to learn to get better again. When you have been really ill, you

:04:44. > :04:49.do have to learn to come out of that mentality and get your body to walk

:04:50. > :04:52.again, and build that up, and there are always little goalposts and it

:04:53. > :04:56.can feel like you are never going to get where you want to get, but I

:04:57. > :05:01.think when you are working really hard, the most important thing to

:05:02. > :05:05.say to myself when I was working hard was that at the end of the day,

:05:06. > :05:10.as long as I know I have done my best, I am happy with whatever

:05:11. > :05:14.happens. I think that is a kind of integrity that you have got to find

:05:15. > :05:18.through whatever you are going through. It has like you are going

:05:19. > :05:24.to write another novel! You are, aren't you? Yes, I am. I have just

:05:25. > :05:29.started. Have you realised it is a novel yet? Thank you very much.

:05:30. > :05:31.Marie-Elsa's book is called Towards Mellbreak.

:05:32. > :07:04.Let's take a last, brief look at the headlines

:07:05. > :07:26.Welcome back. You are watching BBC Breakfast.

:07:27. > :07:28.When violinist Daniel Hope first heard Vivaldi's famous Four Seasons

:07:29. > :07:32.Now he has recorded his own versions of the Italian

:07:33. > :07:35.He worked with artists who painted pictures inspired by the music.

:07:36. > :07:39.We'll speak to him in a moment but first let's see him perform part

:07:40. > :08:23.Daniel Hope is here and I'm pleased to say he has his

:08:24. > :08:33.Good morning to you both. I was just learning about the history of the

:08:34. > :08:40.violin. It is from 1742 and it is named after Lapinski, the great

:08:41. > :08:48.rival of Paganini, the early violinist to beat him in the violin

:08:49. > :08:52.duels in those days. How do you win something like that? Who ever played

:08:53. > :08:58.louder and faster but the most screaming. Do we still do that?

:08:59. > :09:06.Unfortunately not. Maybe we should bring them back! Tell us about Four

:09:07. > :09:13.Seasons, but you have spelt it differently, not as in the number.

:09:14. > :09:17.It is an iconic piece of music. Yes, the music is for the seasons, and

:09:18. > :09:22.Vivaldi is a big part of it but there are 12 pieces, for each month

:09:23. > :09:25.of the year, and I got 12 painters to deliver beautiful images

:09:26. > :09:30.corresponding to that. In a way it is a 21st century response to

:09:31. > :09:35.Vivaldi. I have always loved Vivaldi and I have always wanted to record

:09:36. > :09:39.it and I thought now was the time. The new music director of the jury

:09:40. > :09:44.chamber orchestra, which was the orchestra I heard when I was a boy

:09:45. > :09:51.for the first time playing that piece. -- is Europe. And now it has

:09:52. > :09:56.come full circle. And remember the first time you heard it? Yes, it

:09:57. > :10:02.blew me away. I had just never heard anything like it. Birdsong, the

:10:03. > :10:05.storms, the thunder, the dancing and everything. For anybody it is an

:10:06. > :10:10.amazing experience but for a young child, it just blew me away. You

:10:11. > :10:14.were told that you had to go away and start again and you had a

:10:15. > :10:19.tantrum, is that right? Yes, the first teacher I went to, Sheila

:10:20. > :10:23.Nelson, who was amazing, she looked at me aged four and he said he is

:10:24. > :10:28.too small, comeback in six months. I saw the violin is hanging on the and

:10:29. > :10:32.I didn't understand why I wasn't allowed to play and I had a fit. But

:10:33. > :10:37.violins are made for small people. Yes, but I was so stroppy. She took

:10:38. > :10:40.one off the wall and I grabbed it and it must have sounded horrendous

:10:41. > :10:46.but I knew that was it and I didn't let go and I haven't let go since.

:10:47. > :10:50.We haven't got any duels today, but you are going to play this

:10:51. > :10:54.18th-century beast for us. Maybe that these that I am playing for my

:10:55. > :11:13.son every night at the moment which is the lullaby by Brahms.

:11:14. > :11:21.Yes! How old is your son? He is three. Do you really play that for

:11:22. > :11:29.him? Yes. He wants it every night. I read to him first and then he said

:11:30. > :11:34.that, get the fiddle. -- he says dad, get the fiddle. Have you got

:11:35. > :11:39.him on the violin already? He is more interested in drums and

:11:40. > :11:42.electric guitar. We took him to see Eric Clapton at the Albert hall and

:11:43. > :11:48.he is upset with music now. Whenever he hears music he starts moving

:11:49. > :11:55.around, but probably not classical. Is it true that your mother got the

:11:56. > :11:59.job as secretary? Yes, she was looking for a secretarial job in the

:12:00. > :12:03.70s and was not having much luck and then she met the director of the

:12:04. > :12:10.temp agency and he had two high powered part-time secretarial jobs,

:12:11. > :12:16.one for the Archbishop of Canterbury and the other for Menuhin. She got

:12:17. > :12:21.that job even though she is not a musician. It was supposed to be six

:12:22. > :12:24.months and it lasted 26 years and it was just incredible luck. I grew up

:12:25. > :12:28.around him and his house in Highgate and she took me to work and I got to

:12:29. > :12:33.play with his grandkids and grew up around him which was amazing. We are

:12:34. > :12:37.talking today about letters you would write to your younger self.

:12:38. > :12:41.You would say to your mother thank you for taking that job because it

:12:42. > :12:47.made a massive impact. It's changed our lives completely. It was an

:12:48. > :12:51.amazing stroke of luck. When I listen to classical music I want to

:12:52. > :12:55.whack it on high and play it loud. There is something about parts of it

:12:56. > :12:59.that is incredibly uplifting. It is fabulous music and there is a reason

:13:00. > :13:03.why it is so famous. It is fantastic. I think people love

:13:04. > :13:08.playing it and listening to it and it conjures up so many images. With

:13:09. > :13:12.the album, I wanted to try and get a response to bed. We know and love

:13:13. > :13:15.Vivaldi but there are other ways of feeling the seasons, the changes in

:13:16. > :13:19.the weather and the elements and the album is really about that. What

:13:20. > :13:25.does the weather mean to us and the elements and how do they affect

:13:26. > :13:28.composers? We have Gonzales giving his take on the seasons blended with

:13:29. > :13:35.Vivaldi. Play it loud. Thank you. Hundreds of people are busy

:13:36. > :13:58.preparing the estate... For a new season full of

:13:59. > :14:06.challenges and adventures. Over one million people are on their

:14:07. > :14:11.way to see the ferocious...
