:00:07. > :00:08.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Sally Nugent and Charlie Stayt.

:00:09. > :00:12.Nurses across the UK vote on whether to strike over pay.

:00:13. > :00:14.More than 250,000 members of the Royal College of Nursing

:00:15. > :00:17.are being asked their opinion on industrial action for the first

:00:18. > :00:41.Also this morning, the investigation into a cluster of baby deaths

:00:42. > :00:45.at a single hospital trust - we hear calls for further cases

:00:46. > :00:58.It is not going to bring my VoIP back, but hopefully it will save

:00:59. > :01:02.other babies and parents going through what we have gone through.

:01:03. > :01:06.-- my boy back. Children from poorer families

:01:07. > :01:08.will be given priority access to new grammar schools in England

:01:09. > :01:11.under plans to be set out If you've visited a supermarket

:01:12. > :01:15.megastore lately you might have noticed you can get your drycleaning

:01:16. > :01:18.done, keys cut or collect your parcels while you shop -

:01:19. > :01:22.I'll be asking the boss of Argos why he thinks multi-tasking can

:01:23. > :01:24.save the big supermarkets. Leicester will have to fight back

:01:25. > :01:27.in their Champions League quarter-final against

:01:28. > :01:28.Atletico Madrid. Before the match, several fans

:01:29. > :01:33.were hurt in clashes with police. Hold on tight as we celebrate 200

:01:34. > :01:53.years of thrills since the opening Good morning. A chilly start to the

:01:54. > :01:59.day. Frost around central and eastern areas. More cloud in the

:02:00. > :02:06.west with spots of rain and drizzle. It will still be -- there will still

:02:07. > :02:08.be bright spells to look forward to. More details in 15 minutes.

:02:09. > :02:13.The largest nursing union is consulting with its members

:02:14. > :02:16.across the UK on whether they should take industrial action in protest

:02:17. > :02:18.at the government's decision to maintain a 1% cap

:02:19. > :02:22.The Royal College of Nursing claims low wages are contributing to tens

:02:23. > :02:25.of thousands of unfilled posts and unsafe staffing levels

:02:26. > :02:29.But the government says the health service offers competitive pay.

:02:30. > :02:36.Our health correspondent Sophie Hutchinson reports.

:02:37. > :02:44.Unprecedented pressure in the NHS means nurses have never worked

:02:45. > :02:48.harder and for so little, according to their union. The Royal College of

:02:49. > :02:53.Nursing says because of pay freezes and they pay cap, nurses have seen

:02:54. > :02:59.the money they take home cut in real terms by 14% since 2010. It says

:03:00. > :03:03.that is why it has decided to ask staff whether they would be prepared

:03:04. > :03:08.to strike. 270,000 NHS nurses will be able to vote in the online survey

:03:09. > :03:12.over the next few weeks. Everybody is unhappy. Most nurses are unhappy

:03:13. > :03:17.with their income. They are working harder than ever. But there have

:03:18. > :03:20.been years of absolutely no pay increase. Some of our nurses are

:03:21. > :03:25.telling us they absolutely love being a nurse, it is a fantastic

:03:26. > :03:29.job, but they do not think they can afford to do it any more. The Royal

:03:30. > :03:32.College of Nursing says low pay is driving people away from the

:03:33. > :03:36.profession, and tens of thousands of posts remain vacant. But the

:03:37. > :03:41.department of health said an extra 12,000 nurses have worked on wards

:03:42. > :03:44.since 2010, and that frontline NHS services are being protected.

:03:45. > :03:47.A new generation of grammar schools in England should be truly open

:03:48. > :03:49.to everyone, not just the privileged few, according

:03:50. > :03:51.to the Education Secretary Justine Greening.

:03:52. > :03:54.In a speech today she will argue that "ordinary working families"

:03:55. > :03:57.are the backbone of the economy and they should not have

:03:58. > :04:00.Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us from

:04:01. > :04:05.The government is continuing to move forward with its grammar schools

:04:06. > :04:17.It is, and it recognises nothing will get through the gist of what

:04:18. > :04:22.Justine Greening has to seen a couple of hours, it recognises it

:04:23. > :04:26.has some persuading to do. Theresa May has long been a passionate

:04:27. > :04:30.advocate of grammar schools. She went to a grammar school herself.

:04:31. > :04:33.But there is a huge amount of opposition from teaching unions and

:04:34. > :04:39.other political parties, and indeed some Conservative MPs, to this idea.

:04:40. > :04:42.So what Justine Greening is going to do is try to wind together one of

:04:43. > :04:49.the big mantras of Theresa May, which is helping ordinary working

:04:50. > :04:53.families. -- bind together. Not just the poorest, the government thinks

:04:54. > :04:56.it does a good job for them already, at those who are a little above

:04:57. > :05:00.that, though Sawai just managing. It will argue today that when you look

:05:01. > :05:04.at the statistics a similar number of people from that background go to

:05:05. > :05:07.grammar schools as go to competence of schools. But it also shows that a

:05:08. > :05:12.disproportionate number of relatively well-off children go to

:05:13. > :05:16.grammar schools, which gives you just some sense of the argument that

:05:17. > :05:17.is still to come on this. Chris, thank you.

:05:18. > :05:19.The families of two more babies who died under the care

:05:20. > :05:23.of Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust are calling for their deaths

:05:24. > :05:26.to be included in the investigation ordered by the Health Secretary.

:05:27. > :05:28.The review of the trust was announced by Jeremy Hunt

:05:29. > :05:30.yesterday following the avoidable deaths of seven babies.

:05:31. > :05:33.Five died following failures to monitor their heart rate

:05:34. > :05:40.The trust says its mortality levels are in line with

:05:41. > :05:46.Our social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan, has this report.

:05:47. > :05:55.This is the NHS Trust whose mistakes keep causing the deaths of healthy

:05:56. > :05:59.infants. Yesterday BBC News revealed that seven babies died unnecessarily

:06:00. > :06:03.at the shrews Briand Telford Hospital Trust in a little over 18

:06:04. > :06:07.months. The scale of the problems has prompted the Health Secretary to

:06:08. > :06:10.order a review of maternity services. Jeremy Hunt wants to

:06:11. > :06:15.ensure no more family suffer like this one. Tamsin Cook is lost her

:06:16. > :06:20.daughter Ivy last May, aged just four months. That followed mistakes

:06:21. > :06:26.at her birth. We all think something like this will never happen, it

:06:27. > :06:32.won't happen to me. And it has. And I can only take it day by day

:06:33. > :06:40.sometimes. If I am lucky, week by week. How old would you be there,

:06:41. > :06:45.roughly? Probably five hours old. Other families are still pushing for

:06:46. > :06:50.justice. Haley Matthews' son Jack died within hours of his birth in

:06:51. > :06:54.2015. She says the trust never properly investigated the death.

:06:55. > :06:58.Following investigations, however, the local coroner is now considering

:06:59. > :07:03.holding an inquest. I was expecting a healthy baby. Two years I have

:07:04. > :07:07.been fighting. It is not going to bring my boy back, but hopefully it

:07:08. > :07:12.will save other babies and parents going through what we have gone

:07:13. > :07:14.through. The trust say they have investigated or maternity deaths,

:07:15. > :07:18.and say they will contact Hayley about her case. They also say they

:07:19. > :07:21.are learning lessons from incidents and are improving services.

:07:22. > :07:23.A 17-year-old girl has been charged with terrorism offences.

:07:24. > :07:26.She's accused of communicating with a member of the so-called

:07:27. > :07:29.Islamic State, and booking a ticket to fly to Istanbul,

:07:30. > :07:31.with the intention of travelling to Syria.

:07:32. > :07:34.The offences are alleged to have taken place between January 2016

:07:35. > :07:43.President Trump has said relations with Russia may be at an all-time

:07:44. > :07:46.low after his Secretary of State failed to persuade Russia to stop

:07:47. > :07:52.Mr Trump said America had been right to fire missiles at a Syrian airbase

:07:53. > :07:55.in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack last week.

:07:56. > :08:02.From Washington, Laura Bicker reports.

:08:03. > :08:12.Vladimir Putin said this US attack was an act of aggression. ... Donald

:08:13. > :08:17.Trump said it was in response to a suspected war crime. The US believes

:08:18. > :08:23.the Syrian President was responsible for using chemical weapons against

:08:24. > :08:26.civilians. At a press conference alongside the Nato Secretary

:08:27. > :08:32.General, Mr Trump condemned Bashar al-Assad. That is a butcher. That is

:08:33. > :08:36.a butcher. I felt we had to do something about it. I have

:08:37. > :08:41.absolutely no doubt we did the right thing, and it was very, very

:08:42. > :08:45.successfully done, as you well know. Earlier, Russia vetoed a UN Security

:08:46. > :08:49.Council resolution that would have compelled the Syrian President to

:08:50. > :08:52.cull operate with an investigation into the attack, a response

:08:53. > :08:57.President Trump described as disappointing. It would be

:08:58. > :09:01.wonderful, as we were discussing just a little while ago, if Nato and

:09:02. > :09:06.our country could get along with Russia. Right now we are not getting

:09:07. > :09:10.along with Russia at all. We may be at an all-time low in terms of

:09:11. > :09:16.relationships with Russia. This has built through a long period of time.

:09:17. > :09:22.The US has said relations with Russia must improve. But how? The

:09:23. > :09:27.two countries are on opposing sides in a civil war. Lots may depend on

:09:28. > :09:29.how far Russia will go to defend the Syrian president and how far the US

:09:30. > :09:32.wants to push to get rid of him. A ruling is due today

:09:33. > :09:34.on whether the Russian government should have done more to prevent

:09:35. > :09:38.the siege of a school in Beslan in 2004 by the European

:09:39. > :09:42.Court of Human Rights. More than 330 people died

:09:43. > :09:44.when security forces stormed a school where Chechen separatists

:09:45. > :09:48.had taken over 1,000 people hostage. Survivors and parents,

:09:49. > :09:51.who lost children, argue that Russia failed in its obligation to protect

:09:52. > :10:07.citizens' lives from a known risk. TRANSLATION: As a mother, it is

:10:08. > :10:13.terrible to bury your children. It shouldn't be this way. Having felt

:10:14. > :10:18.this pain, I can't let anyone else suffer the same way. We have to do

:10:19. > :10:24.everything we can so that is nothing like this is ever repeated. If there

:10:25. > :10:27.is no investigation and no one is punished, then there will be more

:10:28. > :10:30.terrorist attacks, more children will die, and people will suffer. I

:10:31. > :10:32.can't let that happen. A BBC investigation has found that

:10:33. > :10:34.construction faults, similar to those which led

:10:35. > :10:38.to the closure of 17 schools in Edinburgh on safety grounds,

:10:39. > :10:40.have been found at 71 other Although most have been repaired,

:10:41. > :10:45.work has yet to be completed on six The Scottish Futures Trust,

:10:46. > :10:47.which oversees public-private finance projects, says

:10:48. > :10:53.it is reviewing its guidance. A missing link in the evolution

:10:54. > :10:56.of dinosaurs has been discovered at the National History

:10:57. > :10:58.Museum in London. After finding a lost fossil

:10:59. > :11:01.which had been forgotten about for decades, scientists have

:11:02. > :11:03.concluded that the precursors to dinosaurs had crocodile-like

:11:04. > :11:06.ankles and walked on all-fours. Our science correspondent

:11:07. > :11:21.Pallab Ghosh went to find out more. I don't quite know what that means.

:11:22. > :11:25.It means they walked like a crocodile.

:11:26. > :11:36.This is how we imagine dinosaurs. To run a Soros Rex was one of the very

:11:37. > :11:41.last of them. -- to run a Soros Rex. The first evolved 250 million years

:11:42. > :11:46.ago from crocodile like creatures which walked on two legs. This is

:11:47. > :11:50.the skull of a mighty T Rex, one of the most fearsome creatures to walk

:11:51. > :11:53.the planet. He first dinosaurs were much smaller, about the size of a

:11:54. > :11:57.chicken. One of the biggest questions is how these creatures

:11:58. > :12:02.first emerged. What we are looking at now is the skull of one

:12:03. > :12:08.individual animal. The answer lies in the fossil of this animal, an

:12:09. > :12:12.animal called Teleocrater. It had many dinosaur traits, such as a

:12:13. > :12:16.small head and a long, slender neck and long legs. But also some

:12:17. > :12:21.crocodile like features, such as the structure of its ankles. This is

:12:22. > :12:24.what it looked like. Although it is not a direct ancestor it gives the

:12:25. > :12:30.best indication yet of how the first dinosaurs evolved. In many ways this

:12:31. > :12:34.animal is a missing link between dinosaurs and crocodiles and shows

:12:35. > :12:39.how some of the features that were previously just appearing in

:12:40. > :12:43.dinosaurs actually first evolved. So, for example, dinosaurs start off

:12:44. > :12:47.as two legged animals, whereas most of their ancestors seem to be

:12:48. > :12:50.4-legged. This animal shows how some of that transition between a

:12:51. > :12:54.4-legged crocodile like animal and a two leg dinosaur actually happened.

:12:55. > :12:59.The discovery, published in the journal Nature, fills a critical gap

:13:00. > :13:06.in the fossil record, and shows that some dinosaur features evolved much

:13:07. > :13:09.earlier than previously thought. Now you know. Yeah. That explained

:13:10. > :13:12.it all. Thank you. Police officers were given the run

:13:13. > :13:14.around in London yesterday A pig caused chaos when it escaped

:13:15. > :13:19.and trotted through lunch-time A jogger had to dodge the animal,

:13:20. > :13:37.who seemed to take a liking Well, that person in the green

:13:38. > :13:44.jackets didn't do a good job. I think that was a jogger. Right,

:13:45. > :13:50.well, eventually it was recaptured and returned to its owner. What do

:13:51. > :13:58.you do with a pig? Is it a pet? Do you have a piglike that has a pet?

:13:59. > :14:05.No, but I tell you, more people do. These micro gigs are a craze. That

:14:06. > :14:11.wasn't micro! Is that the actual size of a micro pigs? No, they are

:14:12. > :14:16.like a tiny dog. People buy them. At genetically you cannot guarantee

:14:17. > :14:21.that it will remain a micro pigs. So you buy a micro pig and it turns

:14:22. > :14:26.into a huge pig? How do you even know this stuff? That is incredible.

:14:27. > :14:30.I don't know. My wildlife knowledge is deeper than people assume. Not

:14:31. > :14:34.that pigs are wildlife. Let's talk about Leicester, anyway.

:14:35. > :14:40.It is all about Leicester this morning. A remarkable result. I

:14:41. > :14:45.watched the first half, then I had to go to bed. I thought I would wake

:14:46. > :14:46.up to bad news this morning, but actually not as bad as Leicester

:14:47. > :14:49.fans feared. Leicester will have to come

:14:50. > :14:52.from behind if they are to reach the Champions League semi-finals

:14:53. > :14:55.but they're still in with a chance. Antoine Griezemann's penalty gave

:14:56. > :14:57.Atletico the lead but the Foxes held firm and they go

:14:58. > :15:00.into the second leg just Monaco have a slender 3-2 lead

:15:01. > :15:05.over Borussia Dortmund after their rearranged quarter-final

:15:06. > :15:08.first leg which was played just a day after Dortmund's

:15:09. > :15:10.team bus was attacked. Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel

:15:11. > :15:12.says his side felt "completely ignored" by UEFA with

:15:13. > :15:14.the rescheduling and weren't Captain Wayne Rooney has been left

:15:15. > :15:20.out of the Manchester United squad for tonight's Europa League

:15:21. > :15:22.quarter-final first He's missed United's last two

:15:23. > :15:26.matches with ankle problems. And Great Britain had a successful

:15:27. > :15:30.start to the World Track Cycling Elinor Barker, who won gold in Rio

:15:31. > :15:35.as a member of the team pursuit, picked up a silver medal this time

:15:36. > :15:48.in the women's scratch race. The world track cycling

:15:49. > :15:50.championships are going on all week and there is live coverage on the

:15:51. > :16:04.BBC. Thank you very much indeed. Now for the weather. A chilly start

:16:05. > :16:08.to the day if you are just just stepping out. A touch of frost.

:16:09. > :16:11.Patchy mist and fog. Neither of those should last. Eastern areas,

:16:12. > :16:21.bright. The west, cloudy. Eight o'clock this

:16:22. > :16:27.morning, a fine start. As we go through the Midlands into Hampshire,

:16:28. > :16:37.Devon, Cornwall, Wales, more cloud around. The odd spot of rain. More

:16:38. > :16:44.cloud in the east. North and east Scotland seemed brighter skies. Some

:16:45. > :16:50.showers again or light rain. Through the day, a nice and bright start in

:16:51. > :16:54.central and eastern areas being eradicated by cloud from the west.

:16:55. > :17:00.Nevertheless, still some holes in it. Hanging onto brighter skies in

:17:01. > :17:05.the far south of England for the longest. South-west England will see

:17:06. > :17:10.some holes as well through the day. Temperatures, 7- 14. Roughly

:17:11. > :17:15.speaking, they are where they should be at this stage in April. Early

:17:16. > :17:20.evening sunshine in the south. Through the course of the evening,

:17:21. > :17:25.cloud coming in and patchy rain across central and northern areas.

:17:26. > :17:30.The far north of Scotland is seeing clearer skies. That is how we start

:17:31. > :17:35.the day tomorrow. Not as cold a start as we have got. We hang on to

:17:36. > :17:40.this patchy rain as well. Cloud at times. Equally, bright skies. Behind

:17:41. > :17:45.the rain moving south, sunshine and showers across parts of Scotland.

:17:46. > :17:54.Temperatures, again, across the board, 10-13. In the south-east and

:17:55. > :18:00.sunshine, 17. As we go through Saturday, a keen north-westerly

:18:01. > :18:04.wind. A chilly direction. A lot of dry weather around on Saturday.

:18:05. > :18:09.Again, some sunshine, variable amounts of cloud. Just the odd show

:18:10. > :18:16.a here and there. By no means is this weekend a washout. And you can

:18:17. > :18:21.see this ridge of high-pressure. A weather front. That weather front

:18:22. > :18:27.will produce rain Not particularly heavy. Coming from the west in the

:18:28. > :18:32.north. Cloud building ahead of it. Equally, bright spells. Temperatures

:18:33. > :18:39.down on where they have been across Scotland. 7-9. The south, 15 is

:18:40. > :18:45.possible. Again, almost where we should be at this time of year. Good

:18:46. > :18:47.to hear. Thank you. The biggest nursing union

:18:48. > :18:52.is asking its members whether they'd be willing to stage

:18:53. > :18:56.industrial action over pay. The Education Secretary will say

:18:57. > :18:58.new grammar schools planned for England would help the children

:18:59. > :19:23.of ordinary working families. He is on the programme later, I

:19:24. > :19:28.believe. Absolutely. The papers. Some of them concentrating on the

:19:29. > :19:35.terror threat after what happened in the last few days. It is on the

:19:36. > :19:42.front page of The Mirror and The Sun. Man U Terror Bomb Fears.

:19:43. > :19:49.Presumably, it is an existing worry for football. We were talking about

:19:50. > :19:52.that time a fake bomb was found in the toilets at Old Trafford after

:19:53. > :19:57.they had been going through their security routines, you know, doing

:19:58. > :20:03.the training. Somebody left the fake bomb in the toilets. Old Trafford

:20:04. > :20:10.had to be completely evacuated, did indeed? I think they go through all

:20:11. > :20:15.of these drills. -- didn't it. It is part of matched a protocol. But

:20:16. > :20:25.after the attack on this bus of Borussia Dortmund, it is a question

:20:26. > :20:31.of what will they do? Thousands of people in a confined space. It is an

:20:32. > :20:38.easy target. Security is very, very tight. Very visible. You can see it

:20:39. > :20:43.everywhere. The Telegraph. Britain hit by a surge in violent crime. You

:20:44. > :20:48.may see some of these statistics in reference to gun and knife crime in

:20:49. > :20:52.particular. The Daily Mail. Theresa May set to announce a cap on what

:20:53. > :20:58.they call rip-off energy bills. Victoria Beckham and her daughter,

:20:59. > :21:04.Harper, who has already had her name registered as a trademark that she

:21:05. > :21:09.is five. A couple of things for you. Verstappen, yesterday, we talked

:21:10. > :21:15.about Tesco result. -- first up. They are doing well. The Telegraph

:21:16. > :21:23.picks up on it. Do you know does parody books you can get? Yes!

:21:24. > :21:28.Demands for those has gone up. And also a fair few shops in airports

:21:29. > :21:35.and the like have helped them to weather a sharp fall in other things

:21:36. > :21:42.that have fallen. We are not seeing colouring books much, but these

:22:33. > :22:48.unsurprisingly, of the rescheduled Borussia Dortmund match against

:22:49. > :22:52.Monaco. The team bus steamed through the town and did not stop at red

:22:53. > :22:55.lights. Escorted by police all the way. And not much of a debate. All

:23:12. > :23:16.after the match. The manager said it was too soon. Amazing they only lost

:23:17. > :23:21.3-2. Given everything they went through, it was not a bad match, and

:23:42. > :23:56.reports on Network Rail's It has changed a hell of a lot. It

:23:57. > :24:00.would have been just a field, walking up to a fence. I knew what

:24:01. > :24:06.would be here. I knew what my decision would be. And that would be

:24:07. > :24:09.to come here and jump the fence and take a shortcut home. A passing

:24:10. > :24:15.train serves as a timely reminder of the danger of his fateful decision

:24:16. > :24:19.that night 27 years ago, a decision he regrets to that day so below my

:24:26. > :24:31.waiting for a train to come and take my legs off, as it were, really. It

:24:32. > :24:38.seemed like it was a fortnight, but it was only a few minutes. Having

:24:39. > :24:44.lost his leg, Simon, always a Ken sportsman, took a basketball with a

:24:45. > :24:51.wheelchair. He presented Britain in the Paralympics, travel the world,

:24:52. > :24:55.and won a whole host of medals. But still he wishes he had never gone

:24:56. > :25:00.near the rail line. My life since then has been pretty good. But it

:25:01. > :25:07.came from a tragedy, really, yeah. But right now, yeah, absolutely,

:26:04. > :26:08.as a fine. Number is double in the Easter holidays and other holidays.

:26:09. > :26:13.These figures are still going up. There is only so much we can do as a

:26:14. > :26:17.community. Projects like this, if we all get involved and each have that

:26:18. > :26:22.conversation with our friends and family, we can stop this. Warnings

:26:23. > :26:29.are consistent, frequent, and for some, deeply personal. Don't mess

:26:30. > :26:33.around with trains. Yeah. Just stay away from the tracks. Because there

:31:30. > :31:32.take industrial action in protest at the Government's decision

:31:33. > :31:35.to maintain a 1% cap on their pay. The Government says the health

:31:36. > :31:38.service offers competitive pay, but the Royal College of Nursing

:31:39. > :31:41.claims low wages are contributing to tens of thousands of unfilled

:31:42. > :31:56.posts, and unsafe staffing levels Everybody's unhappy. So most nurses

:31:57. > :32:00.are unhappy with their income. So they are working harder than ever,

:32:01. > :32:04.but there has been years now of absolutely no pay increase. Some of

:32:05. > :32:09.our nurses are telling us they absolutely loved being a nurse, it

:32:10. > :32:11.is a fantastic job, but they don't think they can afford to do it any

:32:12. > :32:11.more. A new generation of grammar schools

:32:19. > :32:21.that ordinary working families are the backbone of the economy,

:32:22. > :32:25.and they should not have to make do. But a new analysis from

:34:36. > :34:39.If you are a Leicester fan waking up this morning I think you will feel

:34:40. > :34:44.very hard done by. The fact that Atletico are massive favourites

:34:45. > :34:48.anyway, we were talking about it yesterday, all Leicester have to do

:34:49. > :34:52.is keep the tie alive so that when Atletico comeback, they have the

:34:53. > :34:58.chance of overturning it. It wasn't a penalty. It was about a yard or

:34:59. > :35:00.two outside the box. We feel your pain if you are a Leicester fan.

:35:01. > :35:04.Leicester City will need to come from behind if they are to reach

:35:05. > :35:06.the Champions League semi-finals, but they still have a chance,

:35:15. > :35:16.Antoine Griezemann dusted himself off and scored,

:35:17. > :35:20.but Leicester's defence held firm after that.

:35:21. > :35:29.We know it's still going to be difficult return match. We have a

:35:30. > :35:33.very good home record at the King Power. You know, our fans enjoy

:35:34. > :35:39.these Champions League nights. We have to make sure that, of course,

:35:40. > :35:40.we need to be... Create more chances.

:38:52. > :38:55.Just over 12.5 years ago, Chechen militants took more

:38:56. > :38:58.than 1,000 people hostage in a school in Beslan,

:38:59. > :39:04.The siege lasted three days, and ended in a bloodbath,

:39:05. > :39:06.after special forces stormed the building.

:39:07. > :39:10.Today, the European Court of Human Rights is due to rule today

:39:11. > :39:13.on whether the Russian government should have done more

:39:14. > :39:17.Jessica Gavron is one of the lawyers who argued the case,

:39:18. > :39:24.and she joins us now from our London studio.

:39:25. > :39:31.Thank you very much for your time this morning. Such a harrowing

:39:32. > :39:35.sequence of events. Many people will remember it very well. Could you

:39:36. > :39:39.just explain to us what is the court will be ruling on today? Today the

:39:40. > :39:44.court will be ruling on basically the handling of the siege. It was of

:39:45. > :39:47.course while governments are not responsible for acts of terror, they

:39:48. > :39:51.are responsible for how they conduct themselves in responding to it, and

:39:52. > :39:56.as you have heard, this was an extreme example of a terror attack,

:39:57. > :40:00.with over 1000 people taken hostage. Most of those were young children,

:40:01. > :40:03.on the first day of term at their school. And they were held in

:40:04. > :40:08.appalling conditions, and then during the storming there was a use

:40:09. > :40:13.of, you remember, flamethrowers and tanks by the government. And we are

:40:14. > :40:17.alleging on behalf of the applicants that the government failed in its

:40:18. > :40:21.responsibility to protect life, on various levels. So in terms of

:40:22. > :40:25.preventing the attack, given that it had a certain amount of information

:40:26. > :40:30.in advance of the attack, in terms of the conduct during the siege, not

:40:31. > :40:35.having a rescue plan in place, having a coherent strategy, using

:40:36. > :40:38.appropriate force, we would say they failed in that. And also in terms of

:40:39. > :40:43.investigating the incident afterwards. To hold relevant people

:40:44. > :40:47.to account, or to learn lessons from it. And we would say, again, that

:40:48. > :40:52.they didn't undertake an effective investigation. Yes, so important for

:40:53. > :40:55.those families, and that phrase we often hear in these kinds of cases,

:40:56. > :40:59.that someone is held to account. Just explain what the effect could

:41:00. > :41:04.be of this ruling. How important is it in relation to Russia, and what

:41:05. > :41:08.might happen next? Well, for the relatives of the victims, the people

:41:09. > :41:14.we represented were hostages and relatives of people who died or were

:41:15. > :41:17.injured. And for them this is an extremely important decision,

:41:18. > :41:21.judgement. Because they have taken hundreds of cases in Russia. They

:41:22. > :41:25.have tried to have just as bad. They have argued that they were failed,

:41:26. > :41:30.that senior officials should have been held to account, that

:41:31. > :41:37.investigative steps were not taken. -- tried to have justice. They want

:41:38. > :41:40.to know the truth about what happened and for a measure of

:41:41. > :41:44.accountability. So the case is extremely significant for them, and

:41:45. > :41:48.they feel really that the European Court of Human Rights is the only

:41:49. > :41:51.place that they can get justice. Yes, so hugely important from an

:41:52. > :41:55.emotional point of view. In practical terms, what would it mean

:41:56. > :41:59.for Russia, for the Russian authorities? Well, the Russian

:42:00. > :42:03.authorities we hope will be found in violation of aspects of the right to

:42:04. > :42:07.life. They would, depending on the outcome of the judgement, which we

:42:08. > :42:14.will find out later today, they may have to pay compensation, and they

:42:15. > :42:17.are obliged under the convention to rectify any violations, which may

:42:18. > :42:21.mean reopening aspects of the investigation. Obviously aspects of

:42:22. > :42:28.that will be difficult, given the time. Thank you very much for your

:42:29. > :42:31.time this morning. In that case is being heard at the European Court of

:42:32. > :42:34.Human Rights. A written statement, and we understand it to be around

:42:35. > :42:35.about 9am this morning. The main stories this morning:

:42:36. > :42:38.The biggest nursing union is asking its members

:42:39. > :42:41.whether they would be willing The Education Secretary will say

:42:42. > :42:46.new grammar schools planned for England would help the children

:43:05. > :43:10.coming up. What does that mean for the weather? Carol can tell us. Good

:43:11. > :43:15.morning. It is not going to be a wash out, that is for sure, but it

:43:16. > :43:19.is equally not going to be as warm as it was last weekend. This morning

:43:20. > :43:23.we're off to a chilly start, a touch of frost in rural areas and some

:43:24. > :43:26.patchy mist and fog. All of that will clear. Mostly in some eastern

:43:27. > :43:31.areas is where we the clearer skies. Push west and there is a bit more

:43:32. > :43:34.cloud around. So this morning across parts of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire,

:43:35. > :43:39.the East Midlands, East Anglia, down towards Kent, a lovely start to the

:43:40. > :43:42.day albeit Nupe. As we drift west from Hampshire towards Cornwall,

:43:43. > :43:46.into Wales, north-west England, there is a bit more cloud around and

:43:47. > :43:50.you may just see the odd spot of drizzle coming out of that. Eastern

:43:51. > :43:54.Scotland, a fine start to the day but a chilly one. Western Scotland,

:43:55. > :43:57.more cloud and some showers and Northern Ireland have a few showers

:43:58. > :44:03.this morning but equally, although there is cloud around, you seen one

:44:04. > :44:07.or two dry spells. The wind still coming from a chilly direction and

:44:08. > :44:10.through the course of the day you will notice that some of that cloud

:44:11. > :44:14.is going to move over toward the east. Even so, here and there they

:44:15. > :44:17.will still be some holes in it. But the sunshine hanging on for the

:44:18. > :44:22.longest across southern counties. Temperatures today, 11 to about 16,

:44:23. > :44:26.so still just above average for the time of year. Now, through this

:44:27. > :44:29.evening and overnight we hang on to a fair bit of cloud. We have two

:44:30. > :44:33.weather front thinking southwards, taking their rain with them as they

:44:34. > :44:37.do so. Clearer skies coming across the north, and where we have the

:44:38. > :44:40.clearer skies it will be a cold night, but again, temperatures this

:44:41. > :44:44.coming night very similar to the one that has just gone. Tomorrow we

:44:45. > :44:47.start off with our weather fronts continuing to sink southwards, a

:44:48. > :44:51.fairly weak affair. The cloud will build had of them, still one or two

:44:52. > :44:55.brighter breaks ahead of them as well and behind them for Scotland

:44:56. > :44:58.and Northern Ireland we will start to see some sunshine coming through.

:44:59. > :45:01.There will be cloud at times and that cloud thickener for some

:45:02. > :45:05.showers. Showers on the highest peaks in Scotland could also be

:45:06. > :45:08.wintry. By the time we get the Saturday those fronts scoot off into

:45:09. > :45:12.the near continent, a keen north-westerly wind, a front

:45:13. > :45:15.dangling around an area of low pressure in the North will bring a

:45:16. > :45:18.few showers across north-east Scotland. One or two across parts of

:45:19. > :45:23.eastern England but with showers we will not all see them. So for most

:45:24. > :45:27.of us on Saturday it will be a dry and bright day with some sunny

:45:28. > :45:30.spells. Then as we head on into Easter Sunday, high-pressure

:45:31. > :45:33.clinging on by the skin of its teeth in the south, but we have two

:45:34. > :45:37.weather fronts coming our way once again on Easter Sunday. So what is

:45:38. > :45:40.going to happen is, here goes the first one, there goes the second

:45:41. > :45:44.one, pushing steadily southwards, but they are fairly weak. Now, it is

:45:45. > :45:47.going to be a cool day across Scotland, but for Northern Ireland,

:45:48. > :45:50.England and Wales, especially where we have got the sunshine, it will

:45:51. > :45:55.feel quite pleasant. Temperatures roughly nine to 15. So what happened

:45:56. > :46:01.on Christmas Day, just for comparison, our temperatures on

:46:02. > :46:05.Easter they are where they should be, London a couple of degrees above

:46:06. > :46:09.average but look what we had on Christmas Day. Christmas Day, it has

:46:10. > :46:13.to be said, was exceptional. So Christmas Day was warmer than Easter

:46:14. > :46:18.Sunday is going to be. But you know what? It is not out of the realms of

:46:19. > :46:23.possibility to see some snow at Easter. More likely, actually, that

:46:24. > :46:30.is on Christmas. I didn't know that. Carol, you know everything! More

:46:31. > :46:34.likely to cease no! You are. Do you want to know why? I will have

:46:35. > :46:38.somebody screaming in my ear in a minute. It is because Christmas

:46:39. > :46:42.happens at the beginning of winter, so the air hasn't sufficiently

:46:43. > :46:46.cooled down for it necessarily to snow. Whereas at Easter, Easter is

:46:47. > :46:50.almost at the start of spring. So we have got all this cold air still

:46:51. > :46:54.with us, just starting to come out of it, so it is still cold enough

:46:55. > :46:59.for it to snow. Actually, a good comparison is summer as well. Summer

:47:00. > :47:02.starts in June, so you wouldn't expect the highest temperatures in

:47:03. > :47:07.June, we see it in August or September. Because it takes longer

:47:08. > :47:08.for the air to warm up and cool. Charlie is being cheeky, looking at

:47:09. > :47:25.this watch. Stop it! Can you beat that, Steph? Have you

:47:26. > :47:29.got any facts for us? Did you know that Carol knows everything and I

:47:30. > :47:38.clearly don't? She does know everything! Time to talk about

:47:39. > :47:40.Sainsbury's and their numbers. I will talk to someone who knows what

:47:41. > :47:46.is going on. Goodness me! Sainsbury's bought Argos

:47:47. > :47:48.in September last year for ?1.4 billion, and since then has been

:47:49. > :47:51.quickly opening Argos concessions We thought it would be a good chance

:47:52. > :47:58.to do this. Argos chief exec is John Rogers

:47:59. > :48:09.and he joins me now from our Good morning. Good morning. The 50th

:48:10. > :48:12.store, we are hearing a lot at the moment about how shopping habits

:48:13. > :48:20.have changed and we are not doing one big weekly shop now, we do a few

:48:21. > :48:34.little ones. How do we think that fits with megastores? What customers

:48:35. > :48:38.want is choice. They want to do a big shop during the week, but they

:48:39. > :48:42.also want to top up shop at convenience stores. They are

:48:43. > :48:47.shopping more frequently, but customers want choice. In fact, what

:48:48. > :48:55.we have seen one we put the Argos stores within Sainsbury's ones if

:48:56. > :48:59.they do well. The ones open for more than a year are delivering 25%

:49:00. > :49:02.growth year-on-year. What is interesting is that they are not

:49:03. > :49:07.just buying from the Argos stall, but food at the same time. Good

:49:08. > :49:14.sales are going up at the same time. -- food. We think it is a good use

:49:15. > :49:19.of the space. What does it mean for stores still on the high street?

:49:20. > :49:26.Some will have a lease open in the next two years. Will you move slowly

:49:27. > :49:31.into concessions in Sainsbury's? We will maintain a significant high

:49:32. > :49:34.street presence. We have over 840 stores across the UK. Some are on

:49:35. > :49:41.the high street, some Oriente retail parks. Increasingly, they are

:49:42. > :49:47.opening up across Sainsbury's. -- are in. 50 have opened so far since

:49:48. > :49:55.we bought the business seven months ago. And we will open 200 of those

:49:56. > :49:59.Argos stores within them. Customers like choice. They love to shop on

:50:00. > :50:03.the high street and pick a product there at the same time is going to

:50:04. > :50:09.supermarkets. If you give customers that choice, they reward you with

:50:10. > :50:14.trade. There is also only stores. What will that mean for jobs? You

:50:15. > :50:19.will need fewer people in them. Not at all. What it will mean in

:50:20. > :50:23.practice is that over the next two years we plan to offer over 1000 new

:50:24. > :50:31.additional retail jobs. Actually, what it means in converting stores

:50:32. > :50:34.to digital formats is it allows better relationships with customers

:50:35. > :50:40.and allowing them to have opportunities to get smoother and

:50:41. > :50:45.slicker customer experiences, but better customer interaction as well.

:50:46. > :50:50.One of the important things about the Argos business, which is

:50:51. > :50:54.increasingly digital, most sales originate on line, but actually, you

:50:55. > :50:58.get that humid touch with Argos, the ability to come into a store and

:50:59. > :51:03.pick up your items, which is convenient. -- human. That is better

:51:04. > :51:09.than the on line competition we face. What about the crisis with the

:51:10. > :51:14.economy at the moment and the fall in the value of the pound? There is

:51:15. > :51:18.a real pressure on prices. Is that something you worry about? You may

:51:19. > :51:26.have to put prices on line with your products? Our job as retailers is to

:51:27. > :51:31.protect customers from inflationary pressures. One of the things we can

:51:32. > :51:37.do is bring Sainsbury's together with Argos and by scale. We have

:51:38. > :51:48.negotiated better deals with suppliers. -- buy scale. So prices

:51:49. > :51:52.will not go up? Well, we are making savings and we are passing them on

:51:53. > :51:57.to the consumer. We are ahead of the market and are winning market share.

:51:58. > :52:02.One other question. You were recently in the news for not paying

:52:03. > :52:07.workers the national living wage. Is that all sorted out? Absolutely. One

:52:08. > :52:10.of the things we discovered when we bought the business is that due to

:52:11. > :52:15.some oversight, we were not paying the national living wage, and we

:52:16. > :52:19.fixed that immediately and compensated workers. Thank you for

:52:20. > :52:25.your time this morning. Chief Executive of Argos. That is it for

:52:26. > :52:26.me for now. Thank you. See you soon, Steph.

:52:27. > :52:29.For years, rollercoasters have been making countless stomachs churn

:52:30. > :52:36.This is actually doing that to me right now. I will not look.

:52:37. > :52:40.As the famous theme park ride turns 200, we sent Tim Muffett to meet

:52:41. > :52:59.For members of the European Coaster Club, there is one big question. It

:53:00. > :53:06.is just the adrenaline. It just releases all of your endorphins. Why

:53:07. > :53:10.do you always sit at the back quicker because you get good airtime

:53:11. > :53:15.and you get a good drop. For Club Med is, 2017 is their favourite

:53:16. > :53:23.years. Their favourite ride is 200 years old. -- club members. I am

:53:24. > :53:31.joining them on Blackpool's Big Dipper built so long ago. It began

:53:32. > :53:37.in Paris in 1817. They build this track for rollercoaster carriages.

:53:38. > :53:48.The design has not changed that much really. In the 1930s, rollercoasters

:53:49. > :53:51.doomed in popularity. -- boomed. But many theme parks closed during the

:53:52. > :53:55.Great Depression. After the war, rollercoasters recaptured the

:53:56. > :54:01.imagination of the people, becoming quicker and bigger. If we are

:54:02. > :54:11.thinking about subjecting the body to different physical sensations,

:54:12. > :54:14.umm, the extremes, if you like, the 3-4 Gs on rollercoasters, nowhere

:54:15. > :54:20.else can you get that but rollercoasters. An accident at Alton

:54:21. > :54:26.Towers in 2015 which left four seriously injured was a reminder

:54:27. > :54:33.that riding a rollercoasters not risk-free, although generally, the

:54:34. > :54:40.safety record is very good. In many theme parks, virtual reality is the

:54:41. > :54:47.latest big thing. This is Jaron Brown's Ghost Train at Gordon Park.

:54:48. > :54:52.-- Derren Brown. What you see is not what you get. What gets blood

:54:53. > :54:59.pumping? One of the drawbacks with this is you have this. When this

:55:00. > :55:04.attraction opened last year, there were complaints it was not thrilling

:55:05. > :55:09.or scary enough. It had to be redesigned and relaunched.

:55:10. > :55:15.Generation after generation were seeking novelty. What was scary for

:55:16. > :55:24.parents is not scary for this generation. Back at lack pool

:55:25. > :55:27.Pleasure Beach, and the European Coaster Club are doing what they

:55:28. > :55:31.think best. Going for physical rides. The feeling in your hair, the

:55:32. > :55:35.GeForce is, the positive and negative that you cannot replace it

:55:36. > :55:42.is quite 200 years of twisting, turning, spinning, spiralling, the

:55:43. > :55:47.appeal of the rollercoaster shows no sign of falling away. BBC News,

:55:48. > :55:55.Blackpool. That one is upside down. Do you not like that? You have been

:55:56. > :55:58.on that one before, haven't you? Many years ago. It has been a long

:55:59. > :59:17.time. Oh, the Plenty more on the

:59:18. > :59:21.website at the usual Hello, this is Breakfast,

:01:08. > :01:09.quarter-final against Atletico Before the match, several fans

:01:10. > :01:26.were hurt in clashes with police. Good morning. Under clear skies in

:01:27. > :01:30.central and eastern parts of the UK, it is a chilly start with a touch of

:01:31. > :01:34.frost. In the west there is more cloud, with patchy light rain and

:01:35. > :01:38.drizzle and through the day that will drift eastwards. Nonetheless

:01:39. > :01:39.some of us can still hang on to some sunny intervals. I will have more

:01:40. > :01:41.details later on. First, our main story: The largest

:01:42. > :01:45.nursing union is consulting with its members across the UK

:01:46. > :01:48.on whether they should take industrial action in protest

:01:49. > :01:50.at the Government's decision The Royal College of Nursing claims

:01:51. > :01:56.low wages are contributing to tens of thousands of unfilled posts,

:01:57. > :01:58.and unsafe staffing levels in the NHS, but the Government

:01:59. > :02:01.says the health service Our health correspondent

:02:02. > :02:09.Sophie Hutchinson reports. Unprecedented pressure in the NHS

:02:10. > :02:12.means nurses have never worked harder, and for so little,

:02:13. > :02:19.according to their union. The Royal College of Nursing

:02:20. > :02:22.says due to pay freezes, and then a pay

:02:23. > :02:24.cap, nurses have seen the money they take home cut in real terms

:02:25. > :02:27.by 14% since 2010. It says that is why it has decided

:02:28. > :02:31.to ask staff whether they would be 270,000 NHS nurses will be able

:02:32. > :02:36.to vote in the online survey over So most nurses are unhappy

:02:37. > :02:42.with their income. but there's been years now

:02:43. > :02:51.of absolutely no pay increase. Some of our nurses are telling us

:02:52. > :02:55.they absolutely love being a nurse, it's a fantastic job,

:02:56. > :02:58.but they just don't think they can The Royal College of Nursing says

:02:59. > :03:02.low pay is driving people away from the profession,

:03:03. > :03:05.and that tens of thousands But the Department of Health said

:03:06. > :03:09.an extra 12,000 nurses have worked on wards since 2010,

:03:10. > :03:11.and that frontline NHS services A new generation of grammar schools

:03:12. > :03:16.in England should be truly open to everyone, not just

:03:17. > :03:18.the privileged few, according to the Education Secretary,

:03:19. > :03:20.Justine Greening. In a speech today, she will argue

:03:21. > :03:23.that ordinary working families are the backbone of the economy,

:03:24. > :03:27.and they should not have to make do. Our political correspondent

:03:28. > :03:29.Chris Mason joins us from The Government is continuing to move

:03:30. > :03:45.forward with its grammar schools This is the big pitch coming from

:03:46. > :03:50.the Education Secretary this morning. Tying into the prime

:03:51. > :03:54.minister's big mantra that she has referred to again and again since

:03:55. > :03:59.she took office last summer of helping hard-working families, those

:04:00. > :04:04.who are just about managing. The Education Secretary will say that

:04:05. > :04:07.when you look at the statistics, there are a similar number of

:04:08. > :04:11.children in proportionate terms from that kind of background going to

:04:12. > :04:14.grammar schools as go to comprehensive schools. Strikingly,

:04:15. > :04:18.when you look at the same government document, it shows that more than

:04:19. > :04:22.half of grammar school pupils are from families of above-average

:04:23. > :04:26.incomes and critics of the grammar school system say that they are

:04:27. > :04:30.socially divisive. So this is the latest stage in what I suspect will

:04:31. > :04:33.be quite a long campaign from the government trying to persuade people

:04:34. > :04:33.of the merits of its policy. Thank you.

:04:34. > :04:35.And we will be asking the Education Secretary

:04:36. > :04:40.The families of two more babies who died under the care

:04:41. > :04:43.of Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust are calling for their deaths

:04:44. > :04:46.to be included in the investigation ordered by the Health Secretary.

:04:47. > :04:48.The review of the trust was announced by Jeremy Hunt

:04:49. > :04:51.yesterday, following the avoidable deaths of seven babies.

:04:52. > :04:53.Five died following failures to monitor their heart rate

:04:54. > :04:58.The trust says its mortality levels are in line with

:04:59. > :05:05.Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan has this report.

:05:06. > :05:08.This is the NHS Trust whose mistakes keep causing the deaths

:05:09. > :05:19.Yesterday, BBC News revealed that seven babies died unnecessarily

:05:20. > :05:21.at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust,

:05:22. > :05:23.in a little over 18 months.

:05:24. > :05:26.The scale of the problems has prompted the Health Secretary

:05:27. > :05:28.to order a review of maternity services.

:05:29. > :05:31.Jeremy Hunt wants to ensure no more families suffer like this one.

:05:32. > :05:34.Tamsin Morris lost her daughter Ivy last May, aged just four months,

:05:35. > :05:44.We all think that something like this won't ever happen,

:05:45. > :05:52.And I can only take it day by day, sometimes.

:05:53. > :06:07.Other families are still pushing for justice.

:06:08. > :06:09.Hayley Matthews's son Jack died within hours

:06:10. > :06:13.She says the trust never properly investigated the death.

:06:14. > :06:14.Following their investigations, however, the local coroner

:06:15. > :06:16.is now considering holding an inquest.

:06:17. > :06:32.It's not going to bring my boy back, but hopefully it'll save other

:06:33. > :06:34.babies and parents going through what we've gone through,

:06:35. > :06:38.The trust say they have investigated all maternity deaths,

:06:39. > :06:40.and say they will contact Hayley about her case.

:06:41. > :06:43.They also say they are learning lessons from incidents,

:06:44. > :06:46.A 17-year-old girl has been charged with terrorism offences.

:06:47. > :06:49.She is accused of communicating with a member of the so-called

:06:53. > :06:54.with the intention of travelling to Syria.

:06:55. > :06:57.The offences are alleged to have taken place between January 2016

:06:58. > :07:02.President Trump has said relations with Russia may be at an all-time

:07:03. > :07:05.low, after his Secretary of State failed to persuade Russia to stop

:07:23. > :07:25.Vladimir Putin said this US attack was an act of aggression.

:07:34. > :07:40.At a press conference alongside the Nato Secretary-General,

:07:41. > :07:49.So I felt we had to do something about it.

:07:50. > :07:52.I have absolutely no doubt we did the right thing,

:07:53. > :07:56.and it was very, very successfully done, as you well know.

:07:57. > :08:00.Earlier, Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that

:08:01. > :08:03.would have compelled the Syrian President to co-operate

:08:04. > :08:06.with an investigation into the attack, a response

:08:07. > :08:11.President Trump described as disappointing.

:08:12. > :08:15.It would be wonderful, as we were discussing just a little

:08:16. > :08:20.while ago, if Nato and our country could get along with Russia.

:08:21. > :08:23.Right now, we're not getting along with Russia at all.

:08:24. > :08:27.We may be at an all-time low in terms of our relationship with

:08:28. > :08:35.This has built through a long period of time.

:08:36. > :08:39.The US has said relations with Russia must improve.

:08:40. > :08:44.The two countries are on opposing sides in a civil war.

:08:45. > :08:48.A lot may depend on how far Russia will go to defend the Syrian

:08:49. > :08:52.President, and how far the US wants to push to get rid of him.

:08:53. > :08:54.A ruling is due today on whether the Russian government

:10:39. > :10:41.Joining us from London is Janet Davies, chief executive

:10:42. > :10:54.Good morning to you. Good morning. I'm sure lots of people watching

:10:55. > :10:57.this morning will have a huge amount of sympathy with people who are

:10:58. > :11:00.working in our hospitals, casualty departments, nurses working long

:11:01. > :11:06.shifts and night workers, and perhaps thinking, yes, they do need

:11:07. > :11:12.to be paid in a better way. What are you asking for? Well, we are asking

:11:13. > :11:16.for... Really, scrap the cap we are calling it. For many years we have

:11:17. > :11:21.had no pay rise or this 1% cap every year. And that is for the

:11:22. > :11:27.foreseeable future, until 2020. And we are saying it is not sustainable.

:11:28. > :11:33.We know that nurses, who love their jobs, are struggling to pay their

:11:34. > :11:36.bills. All the bills are going up. Many of them are parents, childcare,

:11:37. > :11:40.their rent, and they are struggling to actually maintain an income which

:11:41. > :11:43.will allow them to live and support their children. Which means they are

:11:44. > :11:46.thinking about an alternative to nursing. How much of a will is

:11:47. > :11:51.there, do you sense, from your members for strike as Mac well, we

:11:52. > :11:54.don't know, and that is why we are asking them. We have had a lot of

:11:55. > :11:58.anger, we are hearing that they often stay at the end of their

:11:59. > :12:02.shifts for no extra money to make sure the care is complete, the notes

:12:03. > :12:05.are written up, that they have handed over to the next shift. Too

:12:06. > :12:09.many people are working 12 hour shifts, and handing over to another

:12:10. > :12:36.12 hours, which doesn't give much time for that, so they stay later in

:12:37. > :12:39.their own right. There is very little flexibility, many people are

:12:40. > :12:42.choosing to work the agencies, many are working extra hours for agencies

:12:43. > :12:45.just to pay their bills. So they are finding life very, very difficult

:12:46. > :12:49.and they are saying this is unsustainable for them. If they are

:12:50. > :12:52.going to look after their families and get a decent wage, they are

:12:53. > :12:56.reconsidering whether they can stay in nursing. You are saying there is

:12:57. > :13:00.a lot of anger, but you are not actually balloting for a strike. Why

:13:01. > :13:03.not? As you can imagine our members are very angry, very cross and

:13:04. > :13:05.getting onto social media and explaining the terrible situation,

:13:06. > :13:09.really, on which bills they should pay. Many are struggling and getting

:13:10. > :13:13.in debt, and we are helping them out with that. But what we need to see

:13:14. > :13:17.is, what is the feeling of all our nurses, what is their situation?

:13:18. > :13:21.Finding out what they feel, but also what they would be prepared to do

:13:22. > :13:25.about it. I just want to put to you the words of Jeremy Hunt. He says we

:13:26. > :13:29.are offering of Rhyno 1% pay rise, but nearly 60% of NHS staff get an

:13:30. > :13:33.automatic pay rise of an average of 3% -- offering everyone a 1% pay

:13:34. > :13:36.rise. But not every one gets increments, and that is quite

:13:37. > :13:39.significant. Almost 60%. Those are people who have progressed to grade

:13:40. > :13:43.two, the salary. So when it was first agreed, the salary point was

:13:44. > :13:46.set at a level, and it is understood that people are gaining skills to

:13:47. > :13:49.get to that level. And every year people have an appraisal. And if

:13:50. > :13:52.their appraisals are satisfactory and they are progressing, they will

:13:53. > :13:56.then get an increment on their performance to get them to the

:13:57. > :13:59.salary which is the level for that job. But isn't it a little bit

:14:00. > :14:02.disingenuous to suggest that some nurses are getting a better pay rise

:14:03. > :14:05.than you are suggesting, because some are getting more than 1%, and

:14:06. > :14:08.actually public-sector workers across the border are not getting

:14:09. > :14:12.these increments. Lots of them are, and actually the correct grade and

:14:13. > :14:15.the correct pay our nurses is the top of that incremental scale, and

:14:16. > :14:20.it has been recognised, and that was a gift that we gave some time ago,

:14:21. > :14:23.that people will take some time to develop those skills and get the

:14:24. > :14:26.experience, that is way we have the incremental scale. Those most

:14:27. > :14:30.experienced nurses who have worked with the NHS for some time have not

:14:31. > :14:33.had a pay rise for a long time. The others are getting recognition of

:14:34. > :14:36.their skills advancements, and not everyone gets them. It is not

:14:37. > :14:39.automatic. It is subject to an appraisal of performance. Do you

:14:40. > :14:43.admit that by capping pay rises, what the government is trying to do

:14:44. > :14:47.is actually save nursing jobs? There is an estimate that for the last two

:14:48. > :14:50.years, if the pay rises had actually gone ahead, you would have lost

:14:51. > :14:54.14,000 nurses because of job cuts. I think it is very, very unfair to

:14:55. > :14:58.actually put the problems of the NHS, the financial problems of the

:14:59. > :15:02.NHS, on the nurses. They are the people that keep the NHS going. They

:15:03. > :15:06.are the people that provide care. And we don't think it is fair that

:15:07. > :15:10.they are the ones that prop up the NHS, with very poor pay. There are

:15:11. > :15:15.lots of other ways we can save money without taking it from nurses' pay

:15:16. > :15:19.packets. Finally, from me, if I take a relative into hospital on a date

:15:20. > :15:22.when nurses are striking, what would that hospital look like? We have a

:15:23. > :15:26.clause that we will not affect patient care, we will keep patients

:15:27. > :15:29.safe and will not do anything, whatever the nurses wish to do, we

:15:30. > :15:33.will make sure that patients are safe and comfortable. That is not

:15:34. > :15:36.the point of this. There are lots of other industrial actions that people

:15:37. > :15:41.might take, but some people are saying we are willing to go on

:15:42. > :15:44.strike. But we will all this there have responsibility to maintain the

:15:45. > :15:46.safety of our population, and our patience. Thank you very much

:15:47. > :16:01.indeed. Unprecedented for them to ask that.

:16:02. > :16:05.Clearly they want what is fair. That is across many other areas of the

:16:06. > :16:10.workplace as well. I often get messages from people saying I am

:16:11. > :16:17.facing a pay freeze on any increase I might get. This 1%. The reason it

:16:18. > :16:23.is relevant is when you look at how much the cost of living is going up.

:16:24. > :16:29.Comparative that. When I talk about inflation, telling us how much the

:16:30. > :16:35.cost has gone up by, that is up 2- 3%. -- compare it to that. If you

:16:36. > :16:38.compare that to 1%, that means in real terms people are getting a pay

:16:39. > :16:42.cut. They will essentially have less money to be able to spend on the

:16:43. > :16:47.things they need to because things are costing more in the shops and

:16:48. > :16:52.generally. That is across many different sectors. If you look at

:16:53. > :16:58.the average weekly earnings, it has gone up by about 2.2% at the moment.

:16:59. > :17:03.It is just underneath the inflation rate of 2.3%. The prediction on the

:17:04. > :17:09.back of the Bank of England says it will reach 2.8% next year. Many

:17:10. > :17:13.people across the country will feel worse off because they will not have

:17:14. > :17:17.as much money and will be paying more for things and for the things

:17:18. > :17:23.they need to buy. Unemployment is really low. But even if you have the

:17:24. > :17:30.job you are feeling poorer than ever. That is the argument being

:17:31. > :17:34.made. The other side of this is that we are in a good situation with

:17:35. > :17:40.jobs. Many people are in jobs. During the financial crisis there

:17:41. > :17:46.was a lot of worry about employment, but we are at record employment

:17:47. > :17:55.levels and record unemployment blows. But we have had to take a pay

:17:56. > :18:00.hit for that. But it has been a long time since the financial crisis. We

:18:01. > :18:05.are talking about 2008. We are not really where we were then in terms

:18:06. > :18:09.of wage increases. Many people feel they are not better off yet, and in

:18:10. > :18:16.some cases worse off, though they have been. Thank you very much,

:18:17. > :18:22.Steph. And now for the weather. Good morning. Good morning. A chilly

:18:23. > :18:28.start to the day today. Temperatures in single figures. A bright start.

:18:29. > :18:34.The clearer skies men lowers temperatures. That is mainly central

:18:35. > :18:39.and eastern parts of the UK. That is how we will start, not end the day.

:18:40. > :18:45.The cloud in the west will go east through the day. Not a old start in

:18:46. > :18:53.Plymouth. 10 degrees at eight o'clock. Cloud around. You can

:18:54. > :18:58.expect some drizzle here as well. North-east England seeing sunshine.

:18:59. > :19:02.The same for eastern Scotland. Sunshine, but a chilly start. The

:19:03. > :19:06.west of Scotland and Northern Ireland, some cloud around. Patchy

:19:07. > :19:12.light rain and showers. Through the day, that cloud pushes over to the

:19:13. > :19:17.east. It will take rain with it but not everyone will see it. Some will

:19:18. > :19:22.see sunny spells, even into the afternoon. Especially in southern

:19:23. > :19:28.counties. Temperatures, 11-14. In the breeze in the north, cooler is

:19:29. > :19:31.exposed to it. This evening and overnight, fronts coming and

:19:32. > :19:35.producing patchy rain for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some getting

:19:36. > :19:38.to northern England and Wales. Showers the south-west. Clearer

:19:39. > :19:43.skies following behind in the highlands. A chilly night. Generally

:19:44. > :19:48.speaking, temperatures coming out will be similar to the night just

:19:49. > :19:51.gone. We start tomorrow with the weather front in the central swathe

:19:52. > :19:55.of the country producing patchy rain. That will go south through the

:19:56. > :20:00.course of the day with the cloud building. Nevertheless, there will

:20:01. > :20:04.still be some bright spells. Behind those fronts, Scotland and Northern

:20:05. > :20:09.Ireland, sunshine and showers. In the sunshine, it will feel quite

:20:10. > :20:12.pleasant. Saturday. Low pressure dominating weather in the north. A

:20:13. > :20:17.weather fronts dangling around it. That will produce rain. The isobars

:20:18. > :20:23.tell a different story. A breezy day from the north-west. For many, when

:20:24. > :20:26.we lose this rain from the north-east of Scotland, one or two

:20:27. > :20:31.showers in the east of England, it will be largely dry for the bulk of

:20:32. > :20:35.the UK. If you are out of the wind again, it will feel quite pleasant.

:20:36. > :20:41.Sunday, some fronts coming our way. Producing rain. Again, nothing

:20:42. > :20:45.especially heavy. The first one goes through, the second one comes in for

:20:46. > :20:49.the north-west in south, it does not make much progress, and again,

:20:50. > :20:53.breezy. Sunshine for the south, well, it will feel quite pleasant,

:20:54. > :21:00.with fines of up to 15 degrees which is still a little bit above average

:21:01. > :21:05.for this April, at this stage. Thank you. See you later on.

:21:54. > :21:55.few minutes. Don't mess with trains, there is only one winner. Only one

:21:56. > :21:55.winner. He suffered life changing injuries

:21:56. > :21:59.when he received a 25,000 volt electric shock after he climbed

:22:00. > :22:06.onto some railway lines. Good morning. Thank you very much

:22:07. > :22:11.indeed for coming in to talk to us about this. Umm, what happens to

:22:12. > :22:14.you? I was 14 at the time. I was meeting some friends near the

:22:15. > :22:21.railway. There was nothing to do at that age for us. This was a Tuesday

:22:22. > :22:25.afternoon, about half past three. And I can remember getting into the

:22:26. > :22:29.railway. I just remember waking up on Friday morning in hospital not

:22:30. > :22:36.knowing how I got there, why I was there. I asked my mum, what is going

:22:37. > :22:42.on. She said you had been electrocuted on the railway. And it

:22:43. > :22:49.was from then a very long road trying to rehabilitate myself. Do

:22:50. > :22:52.you know now? Have you got an account of what happened? Did your

:22:53. > :22:57.mother tell you? Flashback moments. I remember being in the ambulance on

:22:58. > :23:02.the way to the hospital asking the nurse in the ambulance if I can go

:23:03. > :23:08.to sleep. She said, no, stay awake. I term of a much after that. I

:23:09. > :23:13.remember being in the ward and my family coming in to see me. The

:23:14. > :23:17.incident in itself. Were you with friends at the time? Did they see

:23:18. > :23:22.what happened? They saw everything. What did they tell you? We didn't

:23:23. > :23:26.speak after that. We went our separate ways. I was so far into

:23:27. > :23:32.being rehabilitated and learning to walk again. We sort of drifted

:23:33. > :23:37.apart. Tell us your injuries. Third-degree burns on the entire

:23:38. > :23:44.right side of my body. Burned head to toe. My head was the size of a

:23:45. > :23:49.football. They had to take so many layers of skin off my face, it was

:23:50. > :23:53.really bad. I had to learn to walk again because I was just in bed for

:23:54. > :23:59.two months straight. Why did you go to the rails? I don't know. I did

:24:00. > :24:02.not know it was dangerous. I did not really know the dangers of the

:24:03. > :24:07.railway. It wasn't until I started being involved with Network Rail

:24:08. > :24:10.that I knew that the electricity was always on. I thought it was just

:24:11. > :24:15.cargo trains coming through that there was no electricity there. So

:24:16. > :24:22.we just thought, let's go over there. Was like a dare thing? What

:24:23. > :24:28.was going on in your head? We just went over there to be kids and have

:24:29. > :24:35.a game. I slipped while I was on top of the train. That was my instinct.

:24:36. > :24:47.Like it was the overhead wire. The electricity blew me off the chain

:24:48. > :24:51.and I landed on my head and had a big hole in it. You must be dismayed

:24:52. > :24:55.to see the least over the growing number of incidents that are

:24:56. > :24:59.happening now. It wasn't until I was contacted by Network Rail that I

:25:00. > :25:02.learned all these things. It is not nice to hear about all these people

:25:03. > :25:06.having all these accidents and passing away on the railway. You

:25:07. > :25:10.said when you are younger you did not even think about it or even know

:25:11. > :25:14.the risks. Clearly, that message is still not getting through the blue

:25:15. > :25:20.note, exactly. That is why I am trying to do my part. -- through. I

:25:21. > :25:24.want people to know it can happen if you miss use the railway for even a

:25:25. > :25:30.second. How do you tell your story? Do you have to frighten them? No, we

:25:31. > :25:36.don't frighten them. We make them realise it can happen. I do work

:25:37. > :25:42.with Network Rail, going into schools. They do danger talks. I

:25:43. > :25:48.come along and it is like, this is all good, but if you misuse all of

:25:49. > :25:54.that, this is what will happen. I admit, I survived it, I am here to

:25:55. > :26:08.tell the story. What reaction do you get? You can hear a pin drop when

:26:09. > :26:12.you tell them. You can hear a pin drop when you tell them I was thrown

:26:13. > :26:15.off by the overhead wire. And they have amazing questions. The

:26:16. > :26:18.interaction is great and makes me feel like they are actually

:26:19. > :26:22.listening and learning. If you watch a film, it is a good film, but a

:26:23. > :26:26.true story film is much more appreciated. That is what we try to

:37:34. > :37:37.it. I wonder if he thought I will get it in from here, or if it was I

:37:38. > :37:39.will kick it down the field and hopefully someone will run along to

:37:40. > :37:39.it? As we have been hearing this

:37:40. > :37:42.morning, the Government is pressing ahead with its plans to open more

:37:43. > :37:45.grammar schools in England. It says it wants to ensure that

:37:46. > :37:48.children from ordinary working But new analysis from the Government

:37:49. > :37:53.shows a majority of selective school places currently go

:37:54. > :37:55.to more affluent families. The Education Secretary,

:37:56. > :38:01.Justine Greening, joins us now. Very good morning to you. Thank you

:38:02. > :38:07.very much for your time. Can you just do a fact file for us. How many

:38:08. > :38:11.grammar schools do you think there should be altogether? We are making

:38:12. > :38:16.a choice for local communities, that is the whole point. At the moment

:38:17. > :38:24.there is a ban on grammar schools, totally. We know they are very

:38:25. > :38:28.popular with parents where they already are, they are massively

:38:29. > :38:31.oversubscribed and we know that for disadvantaged children who get into

:38:32. > :38:35.grammar schools, they do an amazing job of closing the attainment gap in

:38:36. > :38:39.getting their children off to a good start. So we want to address that,

:38:40. > :38:43.but we also want to make sure this is a new model of grammars for the

:38:44. > :38:47.21st century, and that they really are grammars which will be open to

:38:48. > :38:50.all, and we will set out our plans in a white paper in the coming

:38:51. > :38:55.weeks. Today I am also setting out that we want to make sure that this

:38:56. > :38:58.is a school system which really does work for everyone. We have our focus

:38:59. > :39:02.on supporting and lifting the educational outcomes of disadvantage

:39:03. > :39:05.children, that is quite right, -- disadvantaged children. And that

:39:06. > :39:10.will continue. But beyond that, we also need to get a better idea and a

:39:11. > :39:13.better evidence based around how the children from families that perhaps

:39:14. > :39:18.don't have children who would qualify for free school meals, don't

:39:19. > :39:23.qualify for the pupil premium, but are still below the median income,

:39:24. > :39:26.how they are doing. And that is the analysis that we published

:39:27. > :39:30.yesterday. We want to give everyone, really, a better idea of how these

:39:31. > :39:33.children are doing. We have also put ordinary working families at the

:39:34. > :39:38.heart of our policy. Can you put some numbers on these? So this new

:39:39. > :39:42.category, the ordinary working families who you want to be given

:39:43. > :39:47.priority at this to grammar schools, how much... What is the salary cap

:39:48. > :39:50.on that? Well, it depends how you look at it, and we have done some

:39:51. > :39:55.provisional analysis. What we are saying is that if you work it back

:39:56. > :39:59.it is probably a family around the household income at the moment of

:40:00. > :40:02.around 33,000, but actually these are numbers which are statistically

:40:03. > :40:06.pulled together by our chief statistician, and we have used quite

:40:07. > :40:11.a novel methodology that looks at children and their family income,

:40:12. > :40:15.and then ties that back to educational attainment through our

:40:16. > :40:20.system. We want to make sure that we reflect the fact that families on an

:40:21. > :40:23.income, say, with one child, a stretch to a lesser extent than

:40:24. > :40:28.families on the same income with three or four children as part of

:40:29. > :40:32.that unit. So just to be clear, these new grammar schools, a third

:40:33. > :40:38.of their intake would be from families with an income less than

:40:39. > :40:43.?33,000. Is that the plan? Well, we haven't set out our plans yet, and I

:40:44. > :40:46.am not going to set them out today. What the analysis shows is that

:40:47. > :40:49.grammar schools are there already for ordinary working families, and

:40:50. > :40:52.they actually do a good job of being schools which can really give

:40:53. > :40:57.children from ordinary working families a great start. What we are

:40:58. > :41:00.saying is that we want to see them doing a much stronger job for

:41:01. > :41:03.disadvantaged children. Many grammar schools are already changing and

:41:04. > :41:07.have changed their admissions code is to prioritise children from

:41:08. > :41:11.disadvantaged families, and look after children. I want to see all

:41:12. > :41:15.grammar doormat grammars doing that, but we will set out all those

:41:16. > :41:19.details in the coming weeks in a white paper and today I will talk

:41:20. > :41:21.more broadly about how we want to make sure that children from

:41:22. > :41:25.ordinary working families are absolutely on this government's

:41:26. > :41:29.radar, to make sure that we drive much stronger educational outcomes

:41:30. > :41:33.for them. And more broadly, over the whole school system in recent years

:41:34. > :41:37.we have seen some real in improvements, 1.8 million more

:41:38. > :41:42.children in schools rated good or outstanding. That is fantastic news,

:41:43. > :41:45.but we want more school places, especially in parts of the country

:41:46. > :41:48.where there aren't enough for children. And we want to keep on

:41:49. > :41:56.driving up standards. Your figures on a third intake, that includes

:41:57. > :42:02.existing schools, does it? The data we publishes for all children in the

:42:03. > :42:06.system. It is provisional analysis, I should stress that. So this is a

:42:07. > :42:10.piece of statistics which has been pulled together to start to give us

:42:11. > :42:14.a sense about what is the evidence around how children from ordinary

:42:15. > :42:17.working families fear in our education system. But what you are

:42:18. > :42:20.talking about is a cut of that analysis that looked at the

:42:21. > :42:23.differences between grammar schools and areas that don't have grammar

:42:24. > :42:27.schools. At broadly, what it shows is that, you respect of where they

:42:28. > :42:32.are growing up, ordinary working families are around about one third

:42:33. > :42:36.of the pupil cohorts, and they do as well getting into grammar is, as it

:42:37. > :42:44.turns out, as they do into comprehends it is. And -- intercom

:42:45. > :42:48.pensive schools. You have worked ordinary working familiies into

:42:49. > :42:51.almost every answer. The fact is that most people from ordinary

:42:52. > :42:55.working familiies, whatever they may be, we can presume that is pretty

:42:56. > :42:59.much anyone who works and has kids, most of their kids do not go to

:43:00. > :43:02.grammar schools and will not go to grammar schools. The vast majority

:43:03. > :43:06.do not. You seem to be spending an awful lot of time on this grammar

:43:07. > :43:10.school thing. Are you really convinced in it, number one, and

:43:11. > :43:14.number two, while you are talking about grammar schools, most head

:43:15. > :43:19.teachers say they are struggling to make ends meet. Parents have got

:43:20. > :43:24.letters from the schools saying can we have a fiver, can we have 20 quid

:43:25. > :43:28.to help us get higher? You seem to be stuck in a dogma about grammar

:43:29. > :43:31.schools when the rest of the education system is flailing around

:43:32. > :43:36.trying to make ends meet. I don't think so, we already have grammars

:43:37. > :43:39.in our education system. What we are saying is we want to see how they

:43:40. > :43:42.can play a stronger role in a modern, 21st-century education

:43:43. > :43:47.system. And we also need to respond to the fact that they are very

:43:48. > :43:50.popular with parents. But you are still talking about grammar schools,

:43:51. > :43:53.I apologise for interrupting, but I tried to give you a fair say. You're

:43:54. > :43:58.still talking about grammar schools. Most people's kids don't... I want

:43:59. > :44:03.you to talk about most people's children, and where they go to

:44:04. > :44:07.school. And it is not schools. Why are you not putting more money into

:44:08. > :44:11.a system that is failing? You are absolutely right. We have several

:44:12. > :44:16.thousand secondary schools, of those, 163 are grammar schools. In

:44:17. > :44:20.terms of the remainder, the rest of the school system, you are quite

:44:21. > :44:23.right that that is the school system that most of our children go into.

:44:24. > :44:29.We are putting record funding into it, we have really focused on

:44:30. > :44:33.improving support disadvantaged children, so beyond that protected

:44:34. > :44:36.core schools Budget, which will rise over the coming years, we have

:44:37. > :44:40.introduced the pupil premium, we have seen school standards, thanks

:44:41. > :44:43.to not only government reforms but the hard work of thousands of

:44:44. > :44:47.teachers all over the country, get better. That is why now nine out of

:44:48. > :44:51.ten schools, pretty much, in our country, are rated good or

:44:52. > :44:56.outstanding. I really don't want to enter up to much, but let's lay this

:44:57. > :45:00.record investment in schools think the rest completely, because you

:45:01. > :45:07.know full well the IFA is, who have looked into this -- the IFS, has

:45:08. > :45:12.said that spending per pupil is likely to fall 8% in real terms

:45:13. > :45:16.between 2015 and 2020. Whatever you say about the amount of cash going

:45:17. > :45:20.on, the reality for the schools, and surely that is the only thing, you

:45:21. > :45:25.are the education system to make secretary, the reality of what the

:45:26. > :45:29.system is like inside, it is getting worse. Do you not know it is getting

:45:30. > :45:32.worse? Are you not hearing the message from teachers and head

:45:33. > :45:35.teachers who say they haven't got enough money? And you are to sit

:45:36. > :45:39.there and talk about an overall sum which is bigger, when the reality is

:45:40. > :45:43.they say they haven't got enough money? And what we have seen is that

:45:44. > :45:48.the schools Budget has risen. I don't minimise at all the cost base

:45:49. > :45:52.pressures that schools are facing. That is why we brought forward what

:45:53. > :45:56.we call the schools vying strategy, to help them do a stronger job of

:45:57. > :46:00.being able to buy some of the core essentials that all schools need at

:46:01. > :46:04.a lower cost. We are going to keep working really hard with schools to

:46:05. > :46:07.help them get the most out of every single penny that we are investing

:46:08. > :46:11.in our school system. We actually spend more than the OECD average on

:46:12. > :46:15.our pupils and on our schools, which is really good news. Over the past

:46:16. > :46:20.20 years, as the IFS has also pointed out, we have seen a 50% real

:46:21. > :46:24.terms rise in investment per pupil in our schools. I don't minimise at

:46:25. > :46:29.all the pressures that schools face right now. We have protected the

:46:30. > :46:32.schools Budget, in spite of the need across other parts of government to

:46:33. > :46:37.make very difficult choices, to be able to get a grip on this country's

:46:38. > :46:40.deficit that we were handed over. So I don't minimise the challenges that

:46:41. > :46:43.schools face. We are putting in record amounts, but we are

:46:44. > :46:48.absolutely committed to working with all schools to make sure that we can

:46:49. > :46:51.get the very most out of that money. What we are setting out also today

:46:52. > :46:55.is that we want to bring forward even more good school places,

:46:56. > :46:58.particularly for those parts of the country where we still don't feel

:46:59. > :47:02.parents have really got the choice of a good school place on their

:47:03. > :47:09.doorstep, and that is what they deserve.

:47:10. > :47:16.What is the weather like for the Easter weekend? Apparently it could

:47:17. > :47:22.mean snowy! You have daffodils behind you! A lovely picture. You

:47:23. > :47:28.are more likely to have snow at Easter than Christmas. Snow will be

:47:29. > :47:36.possible, but only in the peaks of Scotland. Some have had some frost.

:47:37. > :47:40.Patchy mist and fog. Most has gone. The east of the UK getting off to a

:47:41. > :47:44.bright and sunny start. Patchy rain in the north-west. Drizzle in the

:47:45. > :47:50.north-west of England. The Korea is going through east through the gate.

:47:51. > :47:57.-- the core is. Dampness not coming out of the cloud. Some sunshine in

:47:58. > :48:03.the east. The Midlands, East Anglia, more cloud around. The same in the

:48:04. > :48:09.Channel Islands. Bright spells. Some sunny spells. The same in south-west

:48:10. > :48:14.England. Bright and sunny. Areas of cloud moving through. Sunshine. A

:48:15. > :48:21.bright afternoon in Wales. 10 degrees. Northern Ireland. A lot of

:48:22. > :48:26.cloud to be producing showers. Showers continuing in Scotland,

:48:27. > :48:30.drifting from the west to the east. Eastern areas seeing brightness.

:48:31. > :48:34.North-east England, again, quite a bit of cloud around, with just one

:48:35. > :48:38.or two showers here and there. Through the evening and overnight,

:48:39. > :48:43.more fronts coming. This is the first and the second. Producing

:48:44. > :48:50.rain. Nothing substantial. Cloud ahead of them. Clearer skies behind

:48:51. > :48:54.them. In the highlands, a cool night. The rest of the UK,

:48:55. > :48:59.temperatures similar to the previous night. Tomorrow, hanging on to the

:49:00. > :49:05.weather fronts. Especially heavy to start with. Some will link up as

:49:06. > :49:09.they go south. Southern areas seeing brightness with showers later on.

:49:10. > :49:15.Northern areas behind those fronts, sunshine and showers. Temperatures

:49:16. > :49:22.tomorrow up to seven Celsius. Not bad. Saturday. Low pressure in the

:49:23. > :49:26.north. A weather front. Look at the isobars to be quite a breezy day on

:49:27. > :49:31.Saturday. Coming from a chilly direction, mainly the north-west.

:49:32. > :49:35.Showers in north-east Scotland, showers in north-east England. Most

:49:36. > :49:41.of us will mist them. For many of us, Saturday looks like a dry day. A

:49:42. > :49:46.couple of weather fronts coming our way in. They will produce rain. Not

:49:47. > :49:49.all of us will see them. The Easter holiday weekend looks like it is not

:49:50. > :49:54.a washout. Crossing the north and west at times. Further south, east,

:49:55. > :50:02.dry and bright conditions. Back to you. Thank you very much indeed.

:50:03. > :50:06.The number of houses being put up for sale has hit a record low.

:50:07. > :50:12.Houses being put up for sale are at a record low at the moment.

:50:13. > :50:15.This is a survey of estate agents done every month by RICS,

:50:16. > :50:17.the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

:50:18. > :50:20.They found that the number of new houses coming up for sale

:50:21. > :50:24.is at a record low and that's pushing up prices in some areas.

:50:25. > :50:27.Central London is still seeing a slowdown in house price growth,

:50:28. > :50:29.but in places like the north-west of England the prices

:50:45. > :50:48.have confidence that things are settling down in the future is

:50:53. > :51:00.result, the climate is better for people to buy a property to live in.

:51:01. > :51:06.I have a property expert with me. What is happening? Why is there a

:51:07. > :51:10.record low of houses being put to market? There was a record low of

:51:11. > :51:14.Robert is on the market. That is because people are not putting them

:51:15. > :51:19.on. -- properties. They are finding Brexit worrisome and they don't no

:51:20. > :51:25.what to expect. The cost of moving is extraordinary high. Mortgage

:51:26. > :51:31.rates are at record lows. People are referring to remortgage. In January

:51:32. > :51:38.and February, a ten year high. People are preferring to remortgage

:51:39. > :51:44.and stay put. Interesting. What does this mean for prices? Well, prices

:51:45. > :51:49.are still very high. That is because of the lack of stock. We don't have

:51:50. > :51:54.properties on the market. It is keeping prices very high. However,

:51:55. > :52:04.what will we see through the year? We will see stagflation prices will

:52:05. > :52:15.not change much. A cool off of house price growth. Houses are up 271,000.

:52:16. > :52:20.London is still pulling off high prices. The high-end of the market,

:52:21. > :52:25.properties over a million, really, really hit by stamp duty changes

:52:26. > :52:28.earlier in the year. Is the north-west doing so well? I think

:52:29. > :52:35.businesses are moving from London, just like the BBC did. We are seeing

:52:36. > :52:41.a change. That is really helping the prices of the property market really

:52:42. > :52:43.move on. I think other areas of the country are suffering because they

:52:44. > :52:47.did see earlier really increased growth a few years ago. Now the

:52:48. > :52:52.north-west is catching up. Businesses are moving. People are

:52:53. > :52:57.moving. People want to move and buy houses and they are. Who is this

:52:58. > :53:02.good for in terms of buyers and sellers? Well, you will see people

:53:03. > :53:07.coming on the market and offering way below the asking price. People

:53:08. > :53:12.are taking 20% off the asking price. So it is a great market for buyers.

:53:13. > :53:17.They come in and negotiate on those prices. The problem is a lot of

:53:18. > :53:21.people just don't know what is point to happen. They don't know about

:53:22. > :53:28.interest rates in the future and jobs. -- is going. Buying enquiries

:53:29. > :53:34.are at an all-time low. People are not thinking, do you know what, I

:53:35. > :53:37.can come on the market and buy a pretty for a low price. I would

:53:38. > :53:43.advise people to go and buy a property now. In terms of the stamp

:53:44. > :53:47.duty changes last year, how have they changed things? They were meant

:53:48. > :53:53.to benefit the lower end. They made it cheaper to buy on the low-end.

:53:54. > :53:59.Above a million, we really saw a big change. Especially in London. It is

:54:00. > :54:04.now more closely to buy a house. Especially in London. Stamp duty is

:54:05. > :54:08.expensive. People don't want to move. They don't want to buy

:54:09. > :54:12.anything else because it is so much more expensive. We are seeing stamp

:54:13. > :54:17.duty change with 3% for second homes. That is a huge cost. That has

:54:18. > :54:23.meant that people are actually not selling. Again, that is lowering the

:54:24. > :54:27.stock on the market. Thank you very much coming in to talk us about

:54:28. > :54:37.that. That is it for me for now. Thank you. We will see you later in

:54:38. > :54:43.the programme. Earlier we asked for wildlife pictures.

:54:44. > :54:46.This kingfisher picture is from Ian Humphries in Bangor.

:54:47. > :54:49.It was snapped in Karen Gallagher's back garden.

:54:50. > :54:52.And this Brimstone butterfly picture was taken by Dave Bamber in

:54:53. > :54:56.We'll be speaking to naturalists, Brett Westwood and Stephen Moss,

:54:57. > :54:59.just after 8:30, about what you should look out for.

:55:00. > :55:02.And we would love to see even more of your wildlife pictures.

:55:03. > :55:13.They did a book which says what you will see at every day of the year.

:55:14. > :55:19.Do we know what we are looking for today? I can't remember. I know

:55:20. > :55:25.tomorrow is a type of toad. Today is butterflies, I think. Keep those

:55:26. > :55:32.pictures coming in. We will look at them later on.

:55:33. > :55:32.They've taken vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.

:55:33. > :58:55.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:58:56. > :58:57.Now, though, it's back the Breakfast sofa.

:00:15. > :00:17.to new grammar schools in England under plans to be set out

:00:18. > :00:26.We want to make sure that children from ordinary working families are

:00:27. > :00:29.absolutely on this Government's radar.

:00:30. > :00:33.Good morning. The number of houses being put up

:00:34. > :00:36.for sale has hit a record low, that's according to a survey

:00:37. > :00:38.of estate agents out today. I'll have more on what that

:00:39. > :00:38.means for prices later. Leicester will have to fight back

:00:39. > :00:46.in their Champions League quarterfinal against

:00:47. > :00:48.Atletico Madrid - they trail 1-0 Before the match several fans

:00:49. > :00:53.were hurt in clashes with police - at least eight people

:00:54. > :00:55.were arrested. Hold on tight as we celebrate 200

:00:56. > :01:09.years of thrills since the opening Good morning, a chilly start to the

:01:10. > :01:14.day, especially in the east, but it is here that there is sunshine. A

:01:15. > :01:19.little more cloud in the south, but nonetheless some of us will still

:01:20. > :01:20.hang on some sunny intervals. More details in 15 minutes. Thank you,

:01:21. > :01:25.Carol. The largest nursing union

:01:26. > :01:32.is consulting with its members across the UK on whether they should

:01:33. > :01:34.take industrial action in protest at the Government's decision

:01:35. > :01:37.to maintain a 1% cap on their pay. The Royal College of Nursing claims

:01:38. > :01:38.low wages are contributing to tens of thousands of unfilled posts

:01:39. > :01:41.and unsafe staffing But the Government says the Health

:01:42. > :01:46.Service offers competitive pay. Our health correspondent

:01:47. > :01:50.Sophie Hutchinson reports. Unprecedented pressure

:01:51. > :01:52.in the NHS means nurses have never worked harder,

:01:53. > :01:54.and for so little, The Royal College of Nursing

:01:55. > :02:03.says due to pay freezes, and then a pay cap, nurses have seen

:02:04. > :02:06.the money they take home cut in real It says that's why it has

:02:07. > :02:13.decided to ask staff whether they would be

:02:14. > :02:15.prepared to strike. 270,000 NHS nurses will be able

:02:16. > :02:18.to vote in the online survey So most nurses are unhappy

:02:19. > :02:24.with their income. So they're working harder than ever,

:02:25. > :02:27.but there's been years now Some of our nurses are telling us

:02:28. > :02:33.they absolutely love being a nurse, it's a fantastic job,

:02:34. > :02:36.but they just don't think they can The Royal College of Nursing says

:02:37. > :02:41.low pay is driving people away from the profession,

:02:42. > :02:43.and that tens of thousands But the Department of Health said

:02:44. > :02:50.an extra 12,000 nurses have worked on wards since 2010,

:02:51. > :03:06.and that front line NHS services In the past half-hour, the Education

:03:07. > :03:18.Secretary has been defending her plans for more grammar schools. The

:03:19. > :03:21.Education Secretary Justine Greening told BBC breakfast that although

:03:22. > :03:24.selective schools make up any part of the education system, they had a

:03:25. > :03:28.strong track record of improving performance of disadvantaged

:03:29. > :03:32.children which should pick standard. Our political correspondent Chris

:03:33. > :03:35.Mason joins us from Westminster. Education Secretary went to a

:03:36. > :03:39.grammar school herself, and she will set out in a speech this morning the

:03:40. > :03:44.Government's case for expanding grammar schools and pitching it

:03:45. > :03:49.directly, Theresa May's idea that she wants to focus on hard ordinary

:03:50. > :03:52.working families. So the question from Charlie on breakfast here in

:03:53. > :03:57.the last 20 minutes to Justine Greening is just how do you define

:03:58. > :04:01.one of those families. We have done some provisional analysis, and what

:04:02. > :04:06.we are saying is if you work it back, it is probably a family around

:04:07. > :04:11.a household income at the moment of around 33,000, but these are numbers

:04:12. > :04:14.that statistically pulled together by our chief statistician, they are

:04:15. > :04:17.out to consultation because we have used a quite novel methodology that

:04:18. > :04:21.looks at children and their family income and event ties that back to

:04:22. > :04:26.education attainment through our system. We want to make sure that we

:04:27. > :04:30.reflect the fact that families on an income with one child are stretched

:04:31. > :04:34.to a lesser extent than families on the same income with three or four

:04:35. > :04:40.children. So the Government says that should be the focus is grammar

:04:41. > :04:44.schools are allowed to expand, but we know they have a huge

:04:45. > :04:47.arm-twisting exercise to begin here, not least because when you look at

:04:48. > :04:51.those same statistics published by the Government, they show a very

:04:52. > :04:56.small number of people from the poorest backgrounds go to grammar

:04:57. > :04:59.schools, and that more than half of the children at grammar schools are

:05:00. > :05:05.from households with above average earnings. They know that Labour are

:05:06. > :05:10.opposed to grammar schools, that many teachers are opposed to grammar

:05:11. > :05:13.schools, and a good number of Conservative MPs, so a lot of

:05:14. > :05:16.persuading to do. But they do make the point that they argue that

:05:17. > :05:20.plenty of those who go to grammar schools love the experience that

:05:21. > :05:23.they get, and the argument is they are oversubscribed. The debate is

:05:24. > :05:31.just beginning. Chris, thank you very much indeed.

:05:32. > :05:33.A 17-year-old girl has been charged with terrorism offences.

:05:34. > :05:35.She's accused of communicating with a member of the so-called

:05:36. > :05:38.Islamic State, and booking a ticket to fly to Istanbul

:05:39. > :05:40.with the intention of travelling to Syria.

:05:41. > :05:42.The offences are alleged to have taken place between January 2016

:05:43. > :05:51.President Trump has said relations with Russia may be at an all-time

:05:52. > :05:54.low after his Secretary of State failed to persuade Russia to stop

:05:55. > :06:00.Mr Trump said America had been right to fire missiles at a Syrian airbase

:06:01. > :06:02.in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack last week.

:06:03. > :06:04.From Washington, Laura Bicker reports.

:06:05. > :06:09.Vladimir Putin said this US attack was an act of aggression.

:06:10. > :06:14.But Donald Trump said it was in response to a suspected war crime.

:06:15. > :06:16.The US believes the Syrian President was responsible for using chemical

:06:17. > :06:22.At a press conference alongside the Nato Secretary-General,

:06:23. > :06:32.So I felt we had to do something about it.

:06:33. > :06:37.I have absolutely no doubt we did the right thing, and it was very,

:06:38. > :06:40.very successfully done, as you well know.

:06:41. > :06:44.Earlier, Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that

:06:45. > :06:47.would have compelled the Syrian President to co-operate

:06:48. > :06:50.with an investigation into the attack, a response

:06:51. > :06:54.President Trump described as disappointing.

:06:55. > :06:57.It would be wonderful, as we were discussing

:06:58. > :07:00.just a little while ago, if Nato and our country

:07:01. > :07:05.Right now, we're not getting along with Russia at all.

:07:06. > :07:09.We may be at an all-time low in terms of relationship with Russia.

:07:10. > :07:12.This has built through a long period of time.

:07:13. > :07:20.The US has said relations with Russia must improve, but how?

:07:21. > :07:23.The two countries are on opposing sides in a civil war.

:07:24. > :07:26.A lot may depend on how far Russia will go to defend

:07:27. > :07:28.the Syrian president, and how far the US wants

:07:29. > :07:37.A ruling is due today on whether the Russian government

:07:38. > :07:39.should have done more to prevent the siege of a school

:07:40. > :07:44.More than 330 people died when security forces stormed

:07:45. > :07:52.a school where Chechen separatists had taken over 1,000 people hostage.

:07:53. > :07:56.Survivors and parents who lost children argued

:07:57. > :07:59.at the European Court of Human Rights that Russia

:08:00. > :08:01.failed in its obligation to protect its citizens' lives.

:08:02. > :08:01.Joining us now is our Moscow Correspondent Sarah Rainsford.

:08:02. > :08:10.Good morning. Many people remember those harrowing images, and this is

:08:11. > :08:13.clearly an important moment for those families involved. It is,

:08:14. > :08:17.there are more than 400 of them who have gone to the court in

:08:18. > :08:20.Strasbourg, and they told me that that is because they tried and

:08:21. > :08:25.failed to get answers here in Russia itself. They accept that this was a

:08:26. > :08:28.terrorist act that took place in Beslan when all of those hostages

:08:29. > :08:34.were crammed into that school sports hall and held there under explosives

:08:35. > :08:37.strong from basketball hoops. But they say there was intelligence, and

:08:38. > :08:40.they know that there was intelligence that a similar kind of

:08:41. > :08:45.hostage scenario was planned at that time in Russia. They say that that

:08:46. > :08:50.intelligence wasn't acted upon, so they say steps could have been taken

:08:51. > :08:54.to prevent this happening. They are also concerned about how the whole

:08:55. > :08:57.siege was handled, whether negotiations were handled properly

:08:58. > :09:00.and particularly about how the siege ended when so many people lost their

:09:01. > :09:06.lives as security forces stormed the school. They have looked for answers

:09:07. > :09:09.in Russia and never got them, so they have turned to Strasbourg, and

:09:10. > :09:13.many relatives of those who died hoped that this can help them to

:09:14. > :09:14.move on from this enormous tragedy that took place there nearly 13

:09:15. > :09:21.years ago. Sarah, thank you. A BBC investigation has found that

:09:22. > :09:23.construction faults, similar to those which led

:09:24. > :09:25.to the closure of 17 schools in Edinburgh on safety grounds,

:09:26. > :09:28.have been found at 71 other Although most have been repaired,

:09:29. > :09:33.work has yet to be completed The Scottish Futures Trust,

:09:34. > :09:38.which oversees public-private finance projects, says

:09:39. > :09:41.it is reviewing its guidance. Coastal areas in parts

:09:42. > :09:44.of New Zealand's North Island have been evacuated ahead of what's

:09:45. > :09:46.expected to be the most powerful storm to hit the country

:09:47. > :09:48.in 50 years. Tropical storm Cook is forecast

:09:49. > :09:51.to bring more than 100 millimetres of rain and winds of up

:09:52. > :09:53.to 100 miles an hour. Some areas are already under

:09:54. > :10:04.a state of emergency. It is nine minutes past eight. You

:10:05. > :10:09.are watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:10:10. > :10:11.The parents of baby Kate Stanton-Davies fought for seven

:10:12. > :10:13.years to get the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust to accept

:10:14. > :10:15.its failures had contributed to their daughter's death.

:10:16. > :10:18.They thought lessons had been learned but when they realised seven

:10:19. > :10:21.more babies died under the care of the same trust over

:10:22. > :10:23.a two-year-period, they wrote to the Health Secretary

:10:24. > :10:27.Jeremy Hunt has now ordered a review.

:10:28. > :10:27.Kate's parents Rhiannon and Richard join us from Amsterdam.

:10:28. > :10:39.Good morning to you both. First of all, tell us what happened to Kate.

:10:40. > :10:44.She died and avoidable death in 2009 at the hands of this trust. We

:10:45. > :10:49.battled as you rightly said for a number of years to get them to even

:10:50. > :10:52.accept the findings of the inquest. They finally last year accepted

:10:53. > :10:57.everything and apologised and said they would learn lessons as these

:10:58. > :11:01.hospital trusts always do. Shortly after that, a lady who has now

:11:02. > :11:04.become a very good friend of mine, K Leigh Griffiths, contacted me and

:11:05. > :11:12.told me her baby daughter pepper had just died and avoidable death, and

:11:13. > :11:17.the trust were attempting to stop her from having an inquest or any

:11:18. > :11:21.form of input to the investigation, an exact mirror of what happened

:11:22. > :11:25.with my husband and I. We began investigating and have uncovered

:11:26. > :11:30.many more deaths than you have even reported on so far. We wrote to the

:11:31. > :11:38.Health Secretary with our husbands, and asked him for a public inquiry.

:11:39. > :11:41.He has not said he won't have a public inquiry, but the first step

:11:42. > :11:45.is to investigate these deaths and see where the failings are stemming

:11:46. > :11:50.from this hospital trust. Can you tell me at what moment when you were

:11:51. > :11:55.in hospital, you are about to have the baby, at what moment did you

:11:56. > :12:02.realise things were going wrong? I didn't realise anything had gone

:12:03. > :12:07.wrong until... Kate wasn't born as you would expect, she wasn't crying

:12:08. > :12:14.or pink, she was pale, floppy, cold, but she was my first baby, I had no

:12:15. > :12:20.experience of a newborn baby. The midwife sent me for a bath and left

:12:21. > :12:23.the baby in a side room, where she subsequently collapsed and was found

:12:24. > :12:27.unresponsive by a nursing auxiliary. At that point the midwife said she

:12:28. > :12:35.thought Kate was unwell and needed to transfer her and me to another

:12:36. > :12:43.hospital. It was at that moment I think I knew that she was dying. And

:12:44. > :12:47.Richard, I assume you were there at the same time. What are your

:12:48. > :12:53.memories of that period of time in the hospital? I had to struggle

:12:54. > :12:58.because none of the staff at the midwife led unit knew where she had

:12:59. > :13:02.been airlifted to, so we had to ring around hospitals and get ourselves

:13:03. > :13:09.to Birmingham heartlands Hospital where Kate died in my arms just six

:13:10. > :13:14.hours after she was born. What has compounded the whole of this is the

:13:15. > :13:18.way that Rhiannon and I have been treated by this trust over the past

:13:19. > :13:24.seven years, of denial, lies, cover-up. The health service

:13:25. > :13:31.ombudsman said that this trust was guilty of maladministration in what

:13:32. > :13:35.happened to Kate, and that continues even to yesterday. I find it

:13:36. > :13:37.offensive and troubling that the medical director at this trust

:13:38. > :13:41.yesterday was saying that their death rate is in line with the

:13:42. > :13:46.national average. Instead of concentrating on reducing that

:13:47. > :13:52.figure and aspiring to having a zero rate of avoidable deaths, which is

:13:53. > :13:56.what Kate's death was, and many other babies that have tragically

:13:57. > :14:00.lost their lives, avoidable deaths, they should be issuing a full and

:14:01. > :14:02.frank apology and retracting the statement yesterday that their death

:14:03. > :14:06.rate is in line with the national average, because that is not

:14:07. > :14:09.acceptable, and it walks over the graves of these beautiful babies

:14:10. > :14:13.that have been avoidable loss. We do have the statement from the trust,

:14:14. > :14:16.and that is exactly what they are saying, when we look at the

:14:17. > :14:22.perinatal mortality rate at the trust competitively rest of the NHS,

:14:23. > :14:26.we are at an equivalent level to the rest of the country. In the case of

:14:27. > :14:32.fatal heart monitoring, we have identified cases where learning has

:14:33. > :14:39.not been implicated. -- in the case of fetal heart monitoring, we have

:14:40. > :14:45.identified cases. I hear that, but there is more than just fetal heart

:14:46. > :14:50.monitoring. When Kate was born, no midwife unit had an operational

:14:51. > :14:58.policy, and that is a legacy that the former head of midwifery has

:14:59. > :15:01.left this trust with, not a single policy that questions the safety of

:15:02. > :15:06.every ML you in the county of Shropshire. They didn't follow

:15:07. > :15:12.national policy, they didn't follow trust policy. This is all in the

:15:13. > :15:15.public domain will, and it is all in the NHS reports and investigations

:15:16. > :15:18.that were undertaken by NHS England last year. This trust is dancing

:15:19. > :15:22.around the issue and deflecting from the truth, which is that they are

:15:23. > :15:28.responsible for the avoidable deaths of many babies, there could be as

:15:29. > :15:32.many as 15, or even 20. And there are also the deaths of two mothers

:15:33. > :15:36.involved. Others will come forward, and we urge them to come forward so

:15:37. > :15:41.that their stories on the deaths of their babies are also investigated

:15:42. > :15:46.correctly. Rhiannon, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we are short of time.

:15:47. > :15:50.I know you have been campaigning for many years. Is there any type of

:15:51. > :15:53.closure, if that is the right word, does the campaign bring you any

:15:54. > :16:00.further on or make you feel like you might have achieved something?

:16:01. > :16:06.We feel grateful to the families who have come forward and added their

:16:07. > :16:09.voices to our own and spoken to Michael Buchanan. It feels strange

:16:10. > :16:12.constantly campaigning on this issue. We have been aware for a long

:16:13. > :16:16.time of the constant failings of this trust which they are still in

:16:17. > :16:20.denial about. The former head of midwifery has been promoted and is

:16:21. > :16:24.still under investigation. How can you promote someone when they are

:16:25. > :16:29.under investigation for gross misconduct? Get is the problem at

:16:30. > :16:34.this trust, the culture from the top down. Richard Stanton and Rhiannon

:16:35. > :16:42.Davis, thank you both very much for your time. Listening to that

:16:43. > :16:46.interview, senior expert in midwifery at the University of

:16:47. > :16:47.Salford, Sarah Davies, what are your thoughts hearing that? It is an

:16:48. > :17:00.appalling story. It is absolutely horrific to hear

:17:01. > :17:04.what those parents have endured. A double loss, really. Hoping

:17:05. > :17:08.something would be learned, but as he had repeated, it must be a

:17:09. > :17:11.terrible blow for them and I applaud their campaigning and trying to get

:17:12. > :17:15.to the truth of it. With your expertise, and you heard what

:17:16. > :17:18.Richard said a moment ago, one of the issues amongst many was the

:17:19. > :17:25.issue with midwives with out of date training. How can they know for

:17:26. > :17:29.sure, people, if they are going into hospital today, that that is not

:17:30. > :17:36.still the case? Well, I think the issue of training is absolutely

:17:37. > :17:40.crucial. Training for staff is valuing women, if you are training

:17:41. > :17:45.staff to the right level. It is not just training undergraduate

:17:46. > :17:50.students, but the midwives need ongoing training about the issues.

:17:51. > :17:53.It is also to do with staffing, because if you have enough staff,

:17:54. > :17:56.you can spare people to do the training, and it should be

:17:57. > :18:01.multidisciplinary with the doctors as well so there is a good holistic

:18:02. > :18:04.culture that is from the top down. Can I ask a basic practical

:18:05. > :18:08.question? A lot of what we are speaking about is the tool heartrate

:18:09. > :18:13.monitoring during labour, and anyone who has been an labour will know

:18:14. > :18:18.they put a monitor on you and monitor the baby's heartbeat, and

:18:19. > :18:22.sometimes that can pick up your heartbeat in error, and it can stop

:18:23. > :18:28.and the alarm can go off and I know from personal experience that can go

:18:29. > :18:32.off, but it is fine, it has moved or whatever. But there is an element of

:18:33. > :18:36.human judgment when it comes to that. If that where mistakes are

:18:37. > :18:40.being made? It sounds as if there were several different issues, and

:18:41. > :18:44.training again about those machines must include the fact that the

:18:45. > :18:48.machines are fallible and the midwives should always check the

:18:49. > :18:54.mother's pulse, check the stethoscope and listen to the baby's

:18:55. > :18:59.heartbeat that way as well. You are right, there is room for error. Of

:19:00. > :19:02.these cases seem to be a mixture of things which suggest the midwives

:19:03. > :19:07.were not up-to-date with their training and I think an

:19:08. > :19:12.investigation is a very important thing, investment in training. I am

:19:13. > :19:15.concerned that Jeremy Hunt, the Department for Education last year,

:19:16. > :19:21.it was actually cut by a half from ?200 million to ?100 million the

:19:22. > :19:25.training for ongoing professional development of nurses and midwives.

:19:26. > :19:31.So I think investigations are important, and certainly

:19:32. > :19:37.transparency. There is a law about duty of that, and immediately,

:19:38. > :19:43.apologise... Thank you. Sarah Davies, a lecturer in senior

:19:44. > :19:46.midwifery. We should see this didn't, we have invested millions of

:19:47. > :19:55.pounds in training and our commitments have been clear since

:19:56. > :20:06.2010. Stillbirths are down by 10%. It has just come 20 minutes past

:20:07. > :20:08.eight. Here's Carol with a look

:20:09. > :20:16.at this morning's weather. This is Wales, fairly cloudy,

:20:17. > :20:19.reminiscent of what is happening in the West, is whereas East Yorkshire

:20:20. > :20:24.here, lovely blue skies but a chilly start to the day. Eastern areas with

:20:25. > :20:28.the sunshine first thing and in the West there is more cloud, showers

:20:29. > :20:31.and patchy rain, drifting eastward through the day. Southern areas will

:20:32. > :20:35.hang onto some sunshine but many other parts will as well, however if

:20:36. > :20:39.you are in Northern Ireland into the afternoon it will still be fairly

:20:40. > :20:44.cloudy with just a few showers dotted around. Highs in Belfast of

:20:45. > :20:47.11. For Scotland, starting with showers in the west some moving

:20:48. > :20:51.eastward through the course of the day, but nonetheless there will

:20:52. > :20:55.still be brighter breaks in that cloud in the east. For north-west

:20:56. > :20:59.England, a few bits and pieces of showers and drizzle at the moment,

:21:00. > :21:03.some crossing the Pennines in the north-east England, again not all of

:21:04. > :21:07.us seeing them. Moving south, cloud thickening here and there, with the

:21:08. > :21:10.odd spot but not much more. Across southern counties we will see the

:21:11. > :21:15.code breaker times and see some sunnier skies popping through. For

:21:16. > :21:19.Wales, a fair bit of cloud through the day, largely dry and, again,

:21:20. > :21:24.here and there we will see some sunny spells. Through this evening

:21:25. > :21:28.and overnight, we have two fronts coming away. This is the first, and

:21:29. > :21:32.this is the second, both bringing rain. Nothing particularly heavy. As

:21:33. > :21:37.they sink South, the cloud will build and behind that it will break

:21:38. > :21:40.so it will be cold in the North of Scotland but for the rest of the UK

:21:41. > :21:45.temperatures very similar to how we started this morning. Tomorrow we

:21:46. > :21:49.have both fronts sinking South, and they may pep up for time but most of

:21:50. > :21:52.us will not see heavy rain from them and they will continue moving

:21:53. > :21:57.southwards, cloud building ahead but still breaks with highs of up to 17.

:21:58. > :22:00.Across Scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland, behind the

:22:01. > :22:05.front it will brighten up and we will see sunshine and showers.

:22:06. > :22:10.Saturday, low-pressure close by with the weather front, bringing spots of

:22:11. > :22:14.rain. And the wind is coming from the north-west and will be quite

:22:15. > :22:18.breezy. That will blow any showers around quite quickly and out of the

:22:19. > :22:23.way and foremost it will actually be a dry day, a brightly with sunnier

:22:24. > :22:27.skies. By Easter Sunday in itself, high pressure building in from the

:22:28. > :22:31.South, various fronts coming in from the Atlantic meaning we will see

:22:32. > :22:36.some rain, but again nothing particularly heavy. On Easter

:22:37. > :22:40.Sunday, some dry and bright weather around, our fronts coming in from

:22:41. > :22:45.the West and we are looking at some rain at times. But this Easter

:22:46. > :22:50.weekend, if you are off, it will not be a write-off any more than a

:22:51. > :22:55.wash-out. Easter Monday, the jury is still out. We may see some rain from

:22:56. > :23:00.the West once again. Interestingly, the temperatures on Easter Day for

:23:01. > :23:05.many parts of the UK are lower than they were on Christmas Day, but

:23:06. > :23:11.Christmas Day was quite exceptional this year. Now, a roller-coaster

:23:12. > :23:19.question for you. I would have said on the face of it, if you had asked

:23:20. > :23:23.me to guess, that Carol hates a roller-coaster. Am I wrong? No, I

:23:24. > :23:30.love the speed and excitement and danger of it all. Oh, Carol! Much

:23:31. > :23:36.more daring than you think! I can't bear them. Really? There was a time

:23:37. > :23:40.it used to like them... We have one behind us. That is the bit that is

:23:41. > :23:43.so awful! Up and over... When I was younger I think I used to go on them

:23:44. > :23:48.but now... Too scared? For years roller-coasters have been

:23:49. > :23:50.making countless stomachs churn As the famous theme park ride turns

:23:51. > :23:54.200, we sent Tim Muffett to meet For members of the European Coaster

:23:55. > :24:09.Club, there is one big question. Why do you Love roller-coasters so

:24:10. > :24:12.much? It just releases all

:24:13. > :24:17.of your endorphins. Because you get good airtime

:24:18. > :24:24.and you get a good drop. For club members, 2017

:24:25. > :24:45.is their favourite year. Their favourite pastime

:24:46. > :24:46.is 200 years old. I am joining them on Blackpool's Big

:24:47. > :24:49.Dipper, built so long ago. But it has its roots

:24:50. > :24:51.in Paris in 1817. They built this track

:24:52. > :24:53.for roller-coasters carriages. The design has not

:24:54. > :25:01.changed that much really. In the 1920s and 30s,

:25:02. > :25:04.roller-coasters But many theme parks closed

:25:05. > :25:09.during the Great Depression. After the war, rollercoasters

:25:10. > :25:11.recaptured the imagination of the people, becoming

:25:12. > :25:13.quicker and bigger. If we are thinking about subjecting

:25:14. > :25:23.the body to different physical sensations -

:25:24. > :25:28.the extremes, if you like - the 3-4 Gs on rollercoasters,

:25:29. > :25:30.nowhere else can you get An accident at Alton Towers in 2015

:25:31. > :25:40.which left four seriously injured was a reminder that riding

:25:41. > :25:45.a roller-coaster is not risk-free, although generally

:25:46. > :25:47.the safety record is very good. In many theme parks, virtual reality

:25:48. > :25:50.is the latest big thing. This is Derren Brown's Ghost

:26:29. > :26:29.and relaunched. Generation after generation

:38:52. > :38:58.to do both, you know? And, for sure, I think

:38:59. > :39:01.we can do both. We have the quality,

:39:02. > :39:12.we have everything to do it. But it's all about us,

:39:13. > :39:15.we are our own enemy. We have just to be focused

:39:16. > :39:19.and work hard, like we do. It was a successful start

:39:20. > :39:22.for Great Britain on the first day of the World Track Cycling

:39:23. > :39:24.championships in Hong Kong, with Elinor Barker picking

:39:25. > :39:26.up a silver medal. The 22-year-old, who won gold in Rio

:39:27. > :39:29.as part of the team pursuit, looked like she might

:39:30. > :39:31.pick up the gold medal, The men's team pursuit will race

:39:32. > :39:39.for a bronze medal later today against Italy after they came

:39:40. > :39:41.through their first round head As we've been hearing,

:39:42. > :39:46.tensions spilled over yesterday as Leicester City fans clashed

:39:47. > :39:51.with Spanish police. Social media videos shot in Madrid's

:39:52. > :39:53.city centre showed injured fans and officers in body

:39:54. > :39:56.armour wielding batons. We can speak to the owner

:39:57. > :39:59.of that video footage, Leicester City fan Aimee Evans,

:40:00. > :40:09.who arrived home this morning. Aimee, thank you for getting up so

:40:10. > :40:13.early after your late flight last night. We have just seen your

:40:14. > :40:17.pictures and we'll show them again, police wearing riot gear, carrying

:40:18. > :40:25.batons, fans running away. Tell us what happened to you. That video I

:40:26. > :40:29.took, I was just sitting at the bar, I had been there since about 1:30pm

:40:30. > :40:33.and as the afternoon progressed the Plaza started to get a lot busier

:40:34. > :40:39.and people would just chanting, singing. I personally didn't think

:40:40. > :40:43.any offensive chants, I was just sitting at the bar and suddenly a

:40:44. > :40:49.Folau went off and riot vans started to go all around the Plaza, and the

:40:50. > :40:54.police started to walk towards everyone, as you can see, they just

:40:55. > :40:58.hit that a man and then two seconds later I got pinned down onto the

:40:59. > :41:02.table and hit with a bat on as well for filming, and everyone was trying

:41:03. > :41:07.to escape and run into one of the shots, but all of the shutters were

:41:08. > :41:11.down and police were backing people up against the walls and hitting

:41:12. > :41:16.you, whether it was a man, woman, child, it was pretty scary. Gary

:41:17. > :41:19.Lineker, obviously a famous Leicester City fan, has been on

:41:20. > :41:23.Twitter saying some of the behaviour of fans was despicable and said it

:41:24. > :41:27.was sickening to watch. Did you think that is fair, do you think

:41:28. > :41:32.there were people causing trouble or was this heavy-handed by police? I

:41:33. > :41:34.think it is fair to say some people were causing trouble, but I think it

:41:35. > :41:48.was very heavy-handed from the police,

:41:49. > :41:51.because it was an all or nothing approach, they just painted everyone

:41:52. > :41:53.with the same brush to say everyone was guilty of violence and that's

:41:54. > :41:56.the way they reacted, when in actual fact it was probably only a minority

:41:57. > :41:59.in an isolated area of the square. And what happened to you? I know he

:42:00. > :42:04.were under a table hiding from police and you got separated from

:42:05. > :42:10.your father. Were you frightened? I was quite frightened, the bartender

:42:11. > :42:14.at the bar that had been serving us all afternoon, he got my bags and

:42:15. > :42:18.got me inside the bar and helped me find my dad after that, but

:42:19. > :42:23.eventually when I was reunited with my dad on the other side of the

:42:24. > :42:27.police started to attack us again so overall I got hit three times in

:42:28. > :42:32.total. Aimee, thank you so much for coming to talk to us this morning. I

:42:33. > :42:33.will ask you one more question, something a bit more cheery than

:42:34. > :42:47.your experience of the police in itself, what a fantastic

:42:48. > :42:49.result, really? The European dream is still alive, do you think

:42:50. > :42:52.Leicester could go on to win the second leg and get through to the

:42:53. > :42:58.semifinals? Definitely, the game is still wide open, just one goal down,

:42:59. > :43:02.I see no reason why we couldn't win. Atletico Madrid could not score from

:43:03. > :43:07.open play and it was a dubious penalty so I think the Champions

:43:08. > :43:11.League dream is still alive. Dubious penalty is putting it politely! Not

:43:12. > :43:13.a penalty at all is what we think here in the studio.

:43:14. > :43:17.Thank you for speaking to us this morning. So the dream still alive

:43:18. > :43:20.the Leicester but quite dramatic pictures, and I think that is the

:43:21. > :43:29.problem with English vans, they have such a reputation in Europe that

:43:30. > :43:31.that is the reaction they can from police, fair or not.

:43:32. > :43:39.Never looks great when you see the pictures. Thank you very much.

:43:40. > :43:42.Many of us will be enjoying a walk in the countryside over the Easter

:43:43. > :43:51.Definitely! I thought that was a rhetorical question!

:43:52. > :43:54.Everyday of the year in this book there are things you should be

:43:55. > :43:59.looking out for. You gave me the wrong date! That is

:44:00. > :44:07.purpose 12. Let's look at today's date.

:44:08. > :44:11.The naturalists Brett Westwood and Stephen Moss join us.

:44:12. > :44:17.Today we are looking for the orange tipped butterfly, they can be

:44:18. > :44:22.distracted in their early flight, backtracking and side slipping but

:44:23. > :44:26.always on the move. And funnily enough I saw one of

:44:27. > :44:30.those yesterday in my garden in town, a West Midlands garden,

:44:31. > :44:33.ordinarily suburban area, and the great thing about the orange tip is

:44:34. > :44:38.you can get it into your garden by planting food plants for the

:44:39. > :44:42.caterpillar, light lilac coloured flower is great for it. I put it in

:44:43. > :44:47.there, and not only did they come along but they bred in my garden and

:44:48. > :44:51.the males are flying after females at the moment so they travel the

:44:52. > :44:56.huge distances looking for females to mate with, it is difficult being

:44:57. > :44:59.a butterfly. Before you are a butterfly obviously you are not so

:45:00. > :45:04.pretty and you might get cleared away by a gardener, which is what

:45:05. > :45:11.you say can happen. Yes, that is what was fascinating, we have all

:45:12. > :45:15.heard about a butterfly coming from a chrysalis, but if you see it, I

:45:16. > :45:21.saw one of the pupate in winter, I went up one morning in April and

:45:22. > :45:25.noticed a dark spot and thought, oh, it has mould. I went back and made a

:45:26. > :45:30.phone call, it saw it was a bit bigger, I was working from home and

:45:31. > :45:33.within half an hour on the phone the butterfly had emerged and it lay

:45:34. > :45:38.there with its wings crumpled like tissue, the most beautiful thing,

:45:39. > :45:44.and then it met a mail and laid eggs on the plant, said that is what we

:45:45. > :45:47.can do, tiny little things to make a difference. And you can bind your

:45:48. > :45:55.knowledge to write the book. Stephen, what is your I do stuff

:45:56. > :46:03.that people will know, swifts and swallows, butterflies. Brett does

:46:04. > :46:07.lemon slugs. He is the finest naturalist I know. I know a lot

:46:08. > :46:12.about birds and things that slight, but he knows a lot about everything

:46:13. > :46:18.else. But we just picked things we love. The entry for tomorrow is

:46:19. > :46:24.minnows and sticklebacks. For me, that's from the memory of fishing

:46:25. > :46:28.for two tours as a child. Tomorrow's Good Friday, the weather isn't

:46:29. > :46:33.brilliant, but over the weekend people can go out. It's important

:46:34. > :46:39.kids go out and they can fish for tiddlers and look at the amazing

:46:40. > :46:43.story of the pond. We picked out some already, you mentioned the

:46:44. > :46:50.sticklebacks. There we go. That is the good dad. That is tomorrow's.

:46:51. > :46:55.Yes. You can find them in ordinary ponds, this is not about having to

:46:56. > :46:59.go to very exotic, extraordinary and remote places, this is about what

:47:00. > :47:04.you can see in your backyard, in towns, gardens and cities and the

:47:05. > :47:10.countryside near cities. This is more your territory, a toad?

:47:11. > :47:15.Natterjack toad. They make this amazing sound like the aliens have

:47:16. > :47:19.landed. A weird vibrant trilling. Now is the time to hear them. Can

:47:20. > :47:30.you give us an example? Funnily enough, I can't! Try. No! It's a

:47:31. > :47:36.nice try, but seriously, I'd have to be hospitalised. It is a really loud

:47:37. > :47:42.and alien trilling. A bit like a PE whistle. We won't ask you to do

:47:43. > :47:48.that! On Sunday we should be looking out for a hairy dragonfly? Yes, the

:47:49. > :47:53.first of the big dragonflies to emerge. The dragonfly is the sign of

:47:54. > :47:56.summer for most people. The hairy dragonfly, and it's literally hairy,

:47:57. > :48:02.is the first proper dragonfly, with the wings right out, like a World

:48:03. > :48:08.War II biplane. All of these creatures, one of the reasons we are

:48:09. > :48:13.keen for people to look at them is they are in trouble. Things are

:48:14. > :48:16.changing in the countryside. The report from Butterfly conservation

:48:17. > :48:21.yesterday is about how Britain's butterflies had one of their worst

:48:22. > :48:25.years on record last year. You can plant stuff to trap them. What we're

:48:26. > :48:30.trying to do in the book, as well as giving people something to say, in

:48:31. > :48:35.this wonderful wonderland we live in, is to think about what they can

:48:36. > :48:39.do to help. I was in my garden yesterday doing some sitting down,

:48:40. > :48:46.which is what I normally do. A robin came and sat right next to me. Why

:48:47. > :48:52.are they so feel free? It thinks you are a wild boar. I will explain...

:48:53. > :48:59.Nothing personal but Robins follow animals. They used to follow wild

:49:00. > :49:07.boar and pick up the worms and insects they churn up. When it's in

:49:08. > :49:14.the garden, and you're digging, it sitting and waiting. I might, one

:49:15. > :49:21.day! It's not being friendly, it's being ecological. You have a lovely

:49:22. > :49:27.shirt on. Wildlife. We get a hint here of what's going on underneath.

:49:28. > :49:32.Can you do a quick reveal. It's a parasite shirt. Look at this!

:49:33. > :49:36.Tapeworm, some strange medical thing that will do you wrong. All

:49:37. > :49:41.pathology lab staff. We love the fact you're dressed for the

:49:42. > :49:47.interview! I have a lot of plans I can't identify. Can I ask about my

:49:48. > :49:55.favourite identity, snow fleas. January. Unless we strike lucky,

:49:56. > :50:02.finding one and then another, they are led year than I imagine with a

:50:03. > :50:07.sheen. Our challenge with this is to say you can go out, you can look for

:50:08. > :50:11.things on your doorstep. Gardens have changed, there's lots of weird

:50:12. > :50:16.things out there. Get out there and work. People have already done that.

:50:17. > :50:20.Look at these. People sending us some wildlife.

:50:21. > :50:23.Mark emailed a picture of this beautiful goldfinch at the feeder

:50:24. > :50:31.When Brett and I were growing up, we are very old, the Goldfinch was a

:50:32. > :50:36.really rare bird when we were younger. Now it's in every garden

:50:37. > :50:39.because people have chosen to put out the right food, like

:50:40. > :50:40.sunflower... We want to look at some more.

:50:41. > :50:42.Mark McCall captured this American mink.

:50:43. > :50:54.County Armagh. Not so good. They were released by people but they

:50:55. > :50:55.have had a bad effect on water. Moving on to our necks and quite

:50:56. > :51:09.quickly. They are just starting to hatch.

:51:10. > :51:12.Spring is here. Get out now, April and May and Easter week and in

:51:13. > :51:15.particular is the time to get out in the countryside, get out in your

:51:16. > :51:19.back garden and look for stuff. Lovely having you here this morning.

:51:20. > :51:23.You both win the award for Best combine shirt!

:51:24. > :51:29.And you heard it here first, spring is here. Let's go to Carol and see

:51:30. > :51:31.what she thinks about that. Spring is here.

:51:32. > :51:38.I absolutely agree. If you're hoping to go somewhere a bit warmer for the

:51:39. > :51:42.Easter weekend, if you are travelling around the Mediterranean,

:51:43. > :51:45.for example, some of the temperatures are quite healthy. For

:51:46. > :51:50.Iberia towards North Africa and around the Mediterranean we are

:51:51. > :51:53.looking at highs between 21-26dC. The sea temperature in the eastern

:51:54. > :51:58.parts of the Mediterranean at the moment is about 18 in the West.

:51:59. > :52:04.Weather looking a bit more unsettled enough far north-east, with rain.

:52:05. > :52:08.Back at home, our weather watchers are doing us proud with the pictures

:52:09. > :52:13.this morning. The misty conditions but the sun coming out, as you can

:52:14. > :52:17.see. The sun already out in Essex. We have a bit of an East and west

:52:18. > :52:21.split in the weather today. In the east, some Sanchon, in the West,

:52:22. > :52:25.more cloud. That cloud is producing some patchy rain in the north-west,

:52:26. > :52:29.some drizzle and showers. It is moving eastwards through the course

:52:30. > :52:33.of the day but many of us will hang onto some sunny intervals. As we

:52:34. > :52:37.head through the afternoon, Northern Ireland, fairly cloudy with the odd

:52:38. > :52:41.shower. Still some showers in Scotland, moving from the West

:52:42. > :52:45.towards the east. But eastern areas still seeing some breaks in the

:52:46. > :52:49.cloud and some sunshine. Not as windy as yesterday. Thinking south,

:52:50. > :52:55.showers moving from the north-west of England towards the north-east.

:52:56. > :52:59.By no means will we all see some but a lot of cloud. East Anglia toward

:53:00. > :53:04.the south coast it will be fairly cloudy but still with some raise,

:53:05. > :53:08.particular in Southern counties of England into the south-west. You may

:53:09. > :53:12.have it cloudy for a bit, the sun will come out and it will cloud over

:53:13. > :53:16.again. In Wales this afternoon, bright spells or some sunshine.

:53:17. > :53:19.Through this evening and overnight, two weather fronts coming our way.

:53:20. > :53:23.This is the first one bringing some rain and mist the second one. As

:53:24. > :53:27.they pushed south, the cloud will build ahead of them and clear behind

:53:28. > :53:31.them. We are looking at a chilly night in the Highlands but

:53:32. > :53:34.temperatures similar to the night just gone for the rest of the UK.

:53:35. > :53:39.Tomorrow we picked up on the rain. It could pep up for a while but

:53:40. > :53:43.largely dry in the south for a large chunk of the day and bright. For

:53:44. > :53:48.Scotland and Northern Ireland, some sunshine and just a few showers.

:53:49. > :53:53.Temperatures about ten in the north and 17, not too bad at all, in the

:53:54. > :53:59.south-east. As we move into Saturday, low pressure is driving

:54:00. > :54:03.the weather. An area of rain. I pressure in the south, keeping

:54:04. > :54:06.things more settled. We have a squeeze in those isobars in between.

:54:07. > :54:10.Some brisk, chilly north-westerly winds, if you shower but they will

:54:11. > :54:14.move through quite quickly and some sunshine abound, with temperatures

:54:15. > :54:17.up to 15. Easter Sunday at South, high

:54:18. > :54:22.pressure in charge in the south. The isobars very well spaced out, not

:54:23. > :54:26.very windy, and some rain crossing us at times. But once again, we're

:54:27. > :54:31.not expecting at this stage for the rain to be that heavy. All in all,

:54:32. > :54:37.this Easter weekend, not looking like a wash-out or a write-off!

:54:38. > :54:44.That's hard to say! You said it perfectly, well done.

:54:45. > :54:49.Not a wash-out or a write-off. Good. Made perfect sense.

:54:50. > :54:55.You said it better than I did! It is 8.50 four. I just repeat what she

:54:56. > :54:57.said. We know how much the music industry has changed in just a few

:54:58. > :55:04.years. Lots of us have shifted from buying

:55:05. > :55:07.records to subscribing to huge We now stream over 1-billion pieces

:55:08. > :55:11.of music in the UK every month and that's meant a big revival

:55:12. > :55:13.for British record companies and as most of world's biggest

:55:14. > :55:16.artists publish their music online there's little sign

:55:17. > :55:17.of falling demand. Mark Mulligan is a Music Industry

:55:18. > :55:24.Analyst and Jesca Hoop is Welcome to you both. Good morning.

:55:25. > :55:29.Mark, do you want to give us your analysis, what is the music industry

:55:30. > :55:33.like now? The music industry has had a bad news story for the last 15

:55:34. > :55:40.years. Every year has been more and more miserable and finally along

:55:41. > :55:45.comes Apple music and Spotify and 2015 things started picking up

:55:46. > :55:50.again. Is that streaming alone? Pretty much. If you look at things

:55:51. > :55:57.on a global basis, streaming grew by $2 billion last year. Where as if it

:55:58. > :56:00.hadn't been fair, the industry would probably have declined by billion

:56:01. > :56:05.dollars. It was make or break for the music business. At a big market

:56:06. > :56:09.level. For a while people for the record industry, in its

:56:10. > :56:12.old-fashioned sense, the record companies, the labels, people

:56:13. > :56:17.thought that had gone away. Is it making a comeback, what is happening

:56:18. > :56:23.at the moment? It's been reorganised. Now the labels work

:56:24. > :56:27.with the streaming providers. Whereas the Independent has a new

:56:28. > :56:34.opportunity through streaming. How does it affect artists like you

:56:35. > :56:40.Margo if I can -- consider myself an independent artist, which I do...

:56:41. > :56:44.You look at it as a platform for promotion. But more responsible,

:56:45. > :56:47.they will charge the listener a subscription. Then you get a piece

:56:48. > :56:51.of that. They need to be held accountable, but you have an

:56:52. > :56:55.opportunity to promote, get people to your live show through streaming

:56:56. > :57:00.and for it to circulate. But it's a process that is still improving.

:57:01. > :57:03.They used to have to have the backing of a record label.

:57:04. > :57:06.Essentially, that was one of the things about the industry, it said

:57:07. > :57:11.it protected, some people got bigger and bigger and other people never

:57:12. > :57:16.got hurt at all. That is true. The person can make a record in their

:57:17. > :57:20.bedroom and uploaded to the Internet. -- never got heard at all.

:57:21. > :57:28.That wasn't possible before the Internet. The streaming providers

:57:29. > :57:34.are like gateways for the listener to listen to those musicians. How

:57:35. > :57:38.much control, we have seen images of superstars and famous singers.

:57:39. > :57:40.People like Ed Sheeran and Adele. They have really benefited and taken

:57:41. > :57:46.control over their music, haven't they?

:57:47. > :57:54.There is definitely a superstar music economy. Always. There is so

:57:55. > :57:59.much choice because of streaming, about 50 million songs on most

:58:00. > :58:02.streaming services. What do people end up doing quest Monday trust the

:58:03. > :58:05.playlist put in front of them, because they don't know what to

:58:06. > :58:10.start searching for. In some ways it makes it easier for the big artist

:58:11. > :58:13.to become bigger. At the other end of the spectrum, some artists like

:58:14. > :58:19.Jessica who have never been able to build an audience in a way you can

:58:20. > :58:22.now. You can reach fans who might be thousands of miles away from you,

:58:23. > :58:28.ten or 15 years ago that would have been impossible. Jessica, when you

:58:29. > :58:31.have a new song, you have some inspiration and something comes to,

:58:32. > :58:37.where do you put it, where do you put it to get it out there and

:58:38. > :58:47.known? I start from the fan, the listener. You go through the

:58:48. > :58:51.streaming providers and the digital distributors and social media. You

:58:52. > :58:55.have to combine the streamers with your social media presence. It is

:58:56. > :59:00.not for everybody. I think for an old school like myself, someone who

:59:01. > :59:07.would rather hide out you have to negotiate this new way of

:59:08. > :59:10.interacting with the business realm. So you have to give more of

:59:11. > :59:17.yourself, personally, when you put out a song. Interesting, harder to

:59:18. > :59:28.hide. You have to choose if you are willing to participate in the social

:59:29. > :59:34.media realms. Spotify wants to help the independent artist. You have to

:59:35. > :59:37.align them to work. Instagram, Tom Clarke, Twitter, all those things,

:59:38. > :59:42.they have to work together. You have to decide if you want to participate

:59:43. > :59:45.or not. Thank you very much. Nice to see this morning. Thank you both.

:59:46. > :59:48.When comedian Tom Binns was starting out in hospital radio aged just 16,

:59:49. > :59:51.he probably never thought that 30 years later his early experience

:59:52. > :59:57.Hospital People follows the trials and tribulations of a host

:59:58. > :00:01.of characters all played by Tom as they try and navigate their way

:00:02. > :00:03.through the pitfalls of dealing with patients and their families.

:00:04. > :00:06.We'll speak to him in moment, but first let's have a look

:00:07. > :00:28.I feel well this morning, I hope all you patients do, too.

:00:29. > :00:45.I do put a lot of comedy into what I do, I think

:00:46. > :00:47.that's really important, and obviously, being from Liverpool,

:00:48. > :00:51.Ray Charles, Ken Dodd, Faith Brown, Freddie Starr, Jimmy Tarbuck,

:00:52. > :00:54.And despite them, we still have a reputation

:00:55. > :01:02.Sometimes as a manager you don't get the attention you deserve.

:01:03. > :01:07.Only last month we had no ambulances arriving late at accidents.

:01:08. > :01:10.Admittedly we had no ambulances, but why focus on that side

:01:11. > :01:16.Tom is here to tell us a bit more about

:01:17. > :01:26.I can't believe you what all of those people! You were saying you

:01:27. > :01:31.went into really fine detail about making sure your little studio was

:01:32. > :01:35.as accurate as possible. As a hospital radio studio, yes, the

:01:36. > :01:39.detail is incredible, the art department did a great job. I have

:01:40. > :01:43.had people who have done hospital radio who have called me and said,

:01:44. > :01:47.that is exactly the studio we did hospital radio from. What is it

:01:48. > :01:57.about hospital radio that makes it such a rich seam for comedy? I

:01:58. > :02:01.think... I don't want to offend anyone doing hospital radio, so the

:02:02. > :02:10.only way not to offend them is not to answer your question! In a way it

:02:11. > :02:14.is an affectionate... It is Trixie, the people who do hospital radio,

:02:15. > :02:18.and I did it myself, they do a great job, part of the job is going around

:02:19. > :02:22.the ward, visiting patients that are lonely, cheering them up. Part of

:02:23. > :02:27.it, though, harks back to a day when there were only one or two radio

:02:28. > :02:32.stations in the country and one wonders whether it is a thing that

:02:33. > :02:35.still should be happening. Are you alluding to... Presumably, I don't

:02:36. > :02:40.know when you were doing it, whether it is true now, people who want to

:02:41. > :02:44.do that thing of DJing, it is a place where you can be a DJ, you may

:02:45. > :02:50.have a job but you can go there and be a DJ for the day. There was a

:02:51. > :02:53.time when it was the only route into radio and television, doing hospital

:02:54. > :02:58.radio. Another area where the comedy comes from, when I was doing it

:02:59. > :03:04.there were some people only doing it to get onto proper radio and I think

:03:05. > :03:08.I was guilty of that. It worked! What happened since then? What got

:03:09. > :03:13.you from hospital radio to doing this? I got onto radio Nottingham

:03:14. > :03:21.after doing hospital radio, I got sacked from that and another 13 or

:03:22. > :03:26.14 stations to the point where I was unemployable on radio and television

:03:27. > :03:31.so I decided to set up my own hospital radio station were no one

:03:32. > :03:36.could fire me! I did my pretend show live on the comedy circuit. And your

:03:37. > :03:42.character, Ivan, it is all built around him. I think we can see a bit

:03:43. > :03:54.more now. I have had an e-mail from Frank who

:03:55. > :04:00.is in bed with Mrs A. The mysterious Mrs A! Oh, it is MRSA. OK, we will

:04:01. > :04:10.play this anyway, especially for prank. It is Man eater.

:04:11. > :04:15.Bless him. He has that ability like a great

:04:16. > :04:20.comedy characters of just carrying on regardless. The vicar in the show

:04:21. > :04:28.is the one giving him inappropriate requests for people, someone having

:04:29. > :04:31.their ears pinned back, it is Holding Back The Years, and it is

:04:32. > :04:37.the vicar putting in the fake requests. This programme you made is

:04:38. > :04:43.on BBC One, how did that happen? I don't know! I am on BBC One now, how

:04:44. > :04:47.did that happen?! My favourite character is the porter, on the left

:04:48. > :04:54.there, always saying unhelpful or alarming things. He is a psychic

:04:55. > :04:57.healer and as he is wheeling people into theatre for the operations he

:04:58. > :05:07.is talking them out of conventional medicine and offering reiki instead.

:05:08. > :05:11.Something you'd do well is make us squirm as well as laughing, do you

:05:12. > :05:16.enjoy the awkwardness? I do, there are lots of awkward moments, I

:05:17. > :05:20.cannot watch the Porter without squirming myself, he is really

:05:21. > :05:24.creepy! Something very dangerous about that!

:05:25. > :05:28.Lovely to see you this morning. Hospital People starts this Friday

:05:29. > :05:33.at 9:30pm on BBC One. When we come back we will find out

:05:34. > :07:07.about a group of Friars on a mission to

:07:08. > :07:20.They've given up material comforts and belong to an order that follows

:07:21. > :07:26.But a group of Franciscan Friars are determined to help those in need

:07:27. > :07:37.Their efforts are being followed in a new BBC documentary.

:07:38. > :07:39.We'll speak to Father Gabriel and Brother Joshua in a moment.

:07:40. > :07:50.Good morning? Ayew well? We are well.

:07:51. > :07:54.Let's just have a look at a clip from the show.

:07:55. > :08:01.It is a happy thought to think the Lord wants me to spend my life with

:08:02. > :08:11.these guys, they are good men. That is why the grey hairs have come in.

:08:12. > :08:13.Shall I sing No Woman, No Cry? He has another groove going on. That is

:08:14. > :08:29.a good sound. It is great when it happens

:08:30. > :08:33.spontaneously, one of the brothers picks up the guitar and you hear it

:08:34. > :08:37.down the hall and you are like, get me in there, there is a groove

:08:38. > :08:41.there. Who needs a television when you have this? We decided not to

:08:42. > :08:44.have TV in the friary because we thought it would take away from our

:08:45. > :08:48.fraternal life and our life of prayer.

:08:49. > :08:58.That is not what I imagined it would be like! Yes, lots of surprises in

:08:59. > :09:03.the friary! The thing that is striking is you seem incredibly

:09:04. > :09:11.happy. How does that work? How did happiness come before you joined or

:09:12. > :09:14.as a result of the way you live? Brother and I were talking on the

:09:15. > :09:18.way in and when you find what you are looking for, what your heart is

:09:19. > :09:27.searching for, there is peace and joy from that. What were you looking

:09:28. > :09:31.for? I grew up Catholic, I went to Catholic school, learned all of my

:09:32. > :09:35.art each lessons and everything but there was a moment in secondary

:09:36. > :09:40.school where things clicked, but became real, my faith became alive

:09:41. > :09:43.and I discovered that what I was searching for in sports or in music,

:09:44. > :09:50.which was all good, all good stuff, but it never fully satisfied me, but

:09:51. > :09:57.when I found God and found the Lord it was, everything makes sense, it

:09:58. > :10:04.all clicked, relationships took on a new hue, I became happier. Brother

:10:05. > :10:10.Joshua, the clip we saw there was the bit of music. The work you do on

:10:11. > :10:14.a daily basis, you cook meals for homeless people, you care for

:10:15. > :10:20.people, don't you? Give us an idea of the work you do. A big part of

:10:21. > :10:24.our life is hands-on work with the poor, we choose to live in areas

:10:25. > :10:28.noted for material poverty, some kind of solidarity there so we are

:10:29. > :10:33.not just coming in from our nice house out in the suburbs and coming

:10:34. > :10:37.in to minister that we live with the people we serve, try to build a

:10:38. > :10:44.relationship, we run a soup kitchen two days a week, we do sandwiches at

:10:45. > :10:48.the door, we have a lot of people coming to the door just to talk. I

:10:49. > :10:53.think the biggest thing, the food is hope, to a city, people that have

:10:54. > :10:57.lost their sense of hope, maybe even a sense of their own dignity. Can

:10:58. > :11:04.you go through some of the basics for me and others of the difference

:11:05. > :11:09.between a Friar and book? People ask that a lot, I tell them Friars are

:11:10. > :11:16.monks on the run, monks are often secluded from cities and places, a

:11:17. > :11:20.lot of activity, Friars on the other hand, at least our brand of Friars,

:11:21. > :11:25.like to live in the heart of things and carve out a space there. We also

:11:26. > :11:29.live a life of prayer and fraternal life together, so we are in the

:11:30. > :11:32.chapel several times a day, many hours throughout the day we are in

:11:33. > :11:36.prayer, and that gives us the strength and energy to serve the

:11:37. > :11:40.people and live together in these difficult cities. You live in the

:11:41. > :11:45.city centre in Bradford in a community that I imagine you are

:11:46. > :11:49.very different too. What are the differences between you and the

:11:50. > :11:56.community you live in? The community we live in is varied. It is a

:11:57. > :12:02.diverse neighbourhood we live in, there are many cultures, lots of

:12:03. > :12:05.Muslim Brotherhood and sisters would be there, we have a great

:12:06. > :12:09.relationship with them, our neighbours are Muslim and they are

:12:10. > :12:15.great, they bring us careers, they take care of us, but the people we

:12:16. > :12:20.work with are also from struggling backgrounds, struggling with

:12:21. > :12:25.difficult situations, so we work in a lot of circles, mixing with a lot

:12:26. > :12:31.of different people. No two days are the same. Talk us through what you

:12:32. > :12:36.wear, because it is a very distinctive look. You always wear

:12:37. > :12:39.the same thing, do you? Yes, we don't have to decide what we are

:12:40. > :12:45.going to put on in the mornings! Just this, we put on this. You don't

:12:46. > :12:51.have any other clothes? This is us, this is our normal clothes. It is

:12:52. > :12:56.really a medieval habit, it looks like what St Francis would have won

:12:57. > :13:01.but it is a 21st-century edition, it just gives eyewitness to something

:13:02. > :13:05.enduring that lasts throughout the centuries, throughout the ages,

:13:06. > :13:10.about Saint Francis' witness and the presence of God in the world. He is

:13:11. > :13:14.here, whether it is 13th century or 20th century, God is present and

:13:15. > :13:19.this habit opens the door for that. When you go into the community, what

:13:20. > :13:23.is your job? Is it to introduce them to your faith or just to care for

:13:24. > :13:30.them? I think our job is to, we try to live as Jesus lived, he came to

:13:31. > :13:34.bring life. We are not here to impose a faith on anyone, what we

:13:35. > :13:39.are here to do is to meet you wherever you are, where are you,

:13:40. > :13:43.tell me your story, tell me your struggle, I am on a journey with

:13:44. > :13:47.you. I don't have all of the answers but I am happy to journey with you

:13:48. > :13:50.and walk with you as Jesus walked with the people, so we don't profess

:13:51. > :13:55.to have all the answers but we are here for you and we have the time to

:13:56. > :13:59.give to you. It has been lovely having you here this morning, very

:14:00. > :14:01.calming, if I may say so! I have enjoyed my journey with you

:14:02. > :14:05.this morning! Bronx To Bradford: Friars

:14:06. > :14:09.On A Mission is on BBC One Over the years, we've tried to bring

:14:10. > :14:12.you closer than ever to the animals here in

:14:13. > :14:15.the park, and today, we're trying something

:14:16. > :14:18.a little bit different.
