:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Christian Fraser and Sally

:00:07. > :00:09.North Korea has said it's prepared to respond in kind

:00:10. > :00:18.to any nuclear attack from the United States.

:00:19. > :00:21.Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians have taken part

:00:22. > :00:23.in a huge military parade amid growing speculation

:00:24. > :00:46.that the country is preparing another nuclear test.

:00:47. > :00:47.Good morning, it's Saturday the 15th of April.

:00:48. > :00:51.Learner drivers will have to prove they can use a sat nav

:00:52. > :00:53.in new changes to the practical test.

:00:54. > :00:56.The Sun has suspended its columnist, Kelvin MacKenzie, for expressing

:00:57. > :00:58.what the newspaper described as "wrong" and "unfunny" views

:00:59. > :01:08.In sport - Brighton take a giant stride towards the Premier League.

:01:09. > :01:10.The Championship leaders win at Wolves, and are now

:01:11. > :01:19.It was definitely a challenge for me - I've been finding out how the Team

:01:20. > :01:22.GB Alpine skiers, are hoping to leave their opponents adrift.

:01:23. > :01:34.Not a bad day in prospect for most parts of the British Isles. Can we

:01:35. > :01:36.keep it going by the rest of the holiday weekend? All the details in

:01:37. > :01:37.just a few minutes. North Korea has warned that it's

:01:38. > :01:42.prepared to respond in kind It comes amid growing tensions

:01:43. > :01:45.between Pyongyang and the US. Kim Jong-un earlier oversaw

:01:46. > :01:48.a massive military parade to celebrate the anniversary

:01:49. > :01:50.of the birth of his grandfather, Our correspondent John Sudworth

:01:51. > :01:59.was there after being invited His movements are being monitored

:02:00. > :02:03.and tightly controlled but earlier we asked him to describe the scene

:02:04. > :02:06.with speculation high that another You can actually feel the ground

:02:07. > :02:22.shake as thousands upon thousands of goose-stepping soldiers, tanks,

:02:23. > :02:24.rockets, other weaponry, have marched and rumbled their way

:02:25. > :02:27.through the capital city. This is a display of unity

:02:28. > :02:30.for the Young North Korean leader. It's meant to send a key

:02:31. > :02:33.message on the anniversary of his grandfather's birth that his

:02:34. > :02:36.grip on power is unassailable. But as Donald Trump threatens

:02:37. > :02:40.to thwart his nuclear ambitions, it also sends a message

:02:41. > :02:51.to the outside world that this country's military with its nuclear

:02:52. > :02:54.tests and missile launchers Military analysts will be poring

:02:55. > :02:58.over these pictures for evidence of the latest state of technological

:02:59. > :03:09.advancement of these forces. There is that speculation

:03:10. > :03:11.that it may be preparing for another underground

:03:12. > :03:13.nuclear test. At the moment, we have absolutely no

:03:14. > :03:16.contact with the outside world other than this TV line

:03:17. > :03:18.we are speaking on. All our mobile phones were taken

:03:19. > :03:22.away from us about five or six hours ago, with before being allowed

:03:23. > :03:25.here into Kim Il-sung Square. I think it is probably unlikely

:03:26. > :03:28.we will see a test today, but Kim Jong-un is making it

:03:29. > :03:31.absolutely clear that he is not prepared to negotiate

:03:32. > :03:33.away his nuclear weapons while being threatened

:03:34. > :04:01.and challenged by the United States. Experts believe that with missiles

:04:02. > :04:03.with weaponry like this, they are just a few small

:04:04. > :04:07.steps away from having a real Of course, once they reach that

:04:08. > :04:11.stage, it is a game changer in terms of the regional security situation

:04:12. > :04:14.and the global international diplomatic calculation

:04:15. > :04:16.about what can be done about North Korea's

:04:17. > :04:17.military ambitions. And the young man sitting up

:04:18. > :04:21.there in those stands has learnt that lessons from his

:04:22. > :04:37.father and grandfather before him. Quite extraordinary with all that

:04:38. > :04:41.going around him and you only get one go of it.

:04:42. > :04:43.We'll be speaking to Britain's former ambassador to North Korea

:04:44. > :04:46.about the current tensions just after eight this morning.

:04:47. > :04:50.A British student who was stabbed to death on a tram in Jerusalem has

:04:51. > :04:51.been named as Hannah Bladon from Burton-on-Trent.

:04:52. > :04:54.The 20-year-old was studying in the city as part

:04:55. > :04:56.of an exchange programme with The University of Birmingham.

:04:57. > :04:59.A Palestinian man - thought to have a history of mental

:05:00. > :05:05.illness - has been arrested over the attack.

:05:06. > :05:07.Police in Sheffield are investigating the unexplained

:05:08. > :05:11.deaths of three men and a women in the Barnsley area in one day,

:05:12. > :05:13.which they believe might be linked to heroin use.

:05:14. > :05:16.They're trying to find out if the deaths were caused

:05:17. > :05:19.by the strength and content of the drug being used locally.

:05:20. > :05:22.Driving tests are getting an MOT in order to better reflect

:05:23. > :05:26.From December, learner drivers will no longer have to tackle some

:05:27. > :05:28.traditional manoeuvres, but will instead be

:05:29. > :05:31.expected to demonstrate new skills - such as using a sat nav safely.

:05:32. > :05:43.Every motorist has been through it. The right of passage of taking a

:05:44. > :05:49.driving test but in future, learners will be challenged on a new things.

:05:50. > :05:54.The first test was taken in 1934 -- 19 35. Today's drivers are used to a

:05:55. > :05:59.different experience. More than half use satnav and so the test has been

:06:00. > :06:07.updated to reflect that. Continuing to follow the signs... I went for a

:06:08. > :06:14.drive with a man who helped develop the new test. Drivers will have to

:06:15. > :06:19.follow satnav directions. If we can incorporate it into the test, that

:06:20. > :06:22.will get people more familiar with dealing with that level of

:06:23. > :06:25.destruction as well which we know is one of the biggest causes of

:06:26. > :06:29.accidents in the first six months with new drivers. Learners will also

:06:30. > :06:34.be asked to show that they can cope with real life scenarios such as

:06:35. > :06:37.parking with a day. We are often taking people down into housing

:06:38. > :06:41.estates where they would be reversing around a corner and

:06:42. > :06:45.perhaps using up after test doing these set piece manoeuvres. The

:06:46. > :06:50.whole point is to change all of that, to get people greater

:06:51. > :06:54.experience of roads. The test has been trialled in some areas and will

:06:55. > :06:57.be the -- introduced to everyone at the end of the year. Candidates will

:06:58. > :07:01.be asked to drive independently for longer but the cost and length of

:07:02. > :07:03.the exam will stay the same as no doubt will the nerves of those going

:07:04. > :07:04.through the process. The Sun columnist, Kelvin MacKenzie,

:07:05. > :07:07.has been suspended after he compared the intelligence of the Everton

:07:08. > :07:10.footballer Ross Barkley to that The mayor of Liverpool,

:07:11. > :07:14.Joe Anderson, reported him to Merseyside Police

:07:15. > :07:28.for what he called "racial slurs". It was this column published

:07:29. > :07:35.yesterday which have think all the Mackenzie suspended from the Sun.

:07:36. > :07:40.The story was about Ross Berkely who was punched in a Liverpool bar. His

:07:41. > :07:44.grandfather was born in Nigeria and he was compare to a gorilla. Mr

:07:45. > :07:50.MacKenzie also wrote that men with similar pay packets in Liverpool

:07:51. > :07:57.were drug dealers. When I see the picture of Ross Barkley alongside a

:07:58. > :08:01.gorilla... I think that was totally racist and it offended me. I'm sure

:08:02. > :08:05.it offended Ross Barkley and his family and lots of other people.

:08:06. > :08:09.That's why I have reported it to the police. I'm not reporting it to the

:08:10. > :08:14.police as a gimmick, I'm reporting it to the police because I felt and

:08:15. > :08:17.do feel that it was a racial attacker on an individual.

:08:18. > :08:21.Merseyside police are now investigating whether the comments

:08:22. > :08:28.constitute a racial hate crime. In a statement the Sun's head apologised

:08:29. > :08:34.and said the paper was unaware of Ross Barkley's heritage. Kelvin

:08:35. > :08:35.MacKenzie said it was beyond parody to describe him as racist.

:08:36. > :08:39.Almost a fifth of parents are being asked to make a financial

:08:40. > :08:41.contribution to their child's school, according to a survey

:08:42. > :08:45.It comes as school leaders and teachers have voiced concerns

:08:46. > :08:47.about growing funding pressures in England's state schools.

:08:48. > :08:55.The government says school spending is at a record high.

:08:56. > :08:58.Now, to what's become a sticky subject for some councils.

:08:59. > :09:01.The removal of discarded chewing gum from streets costs local authorities

:09:02. > :09:05.So the Local Government Association is calling

:09:06. > :09:08.on manufacturers to do more to help tackle the problem.

:09:09. > :09:24.In attractive packaging, it is a staple on the shelves in that most

:09:25. > :09:27.shops and supermarkets but once the chewing some leave the store and

:09:28. > :09:31.makes it way onto the high street, that's when it becomes an

:09:32. > :09:35.unattractive problem. Councils in England and Wales are now calling on

:09:36. > :09:40.the manufacturers to contribute to the huge bills they faced a clean it

:09:41. > :09:45.up. We have over a number of years after the industry to try and find a

:09:46. > :09:48.solution using the chemistry and signs that they have at their

:09:49. > :09:53.disposal. They have been really slow to act and this is another call to

:09:54. > :09:57.say, actually, this is ?60 million a year that councils are spending to

:09:58. > :10:02.clear up their product and it could be better spent on other services to

:10:03. > :10:06.the public. The call comes after one charity found almost every main

:10:07. > :10:10.shopping street in the country is sustained by gum. Along with around

:10:11. > :10:14.two thirds of all roads and pavements. And here on one of

:10:15. > :10:18.Britain's's busiest high streets, Oxford Street in London. It's not

:10:19. > :10:23.difficult to spot chewing gum stuck to the floor and is not surprising

:10:24. > :10:27.considering it only cost us are around 3p per piece. However council

:10:28. > :10:35.say it cost 50 times that to remove it. At ?1 50, the square metre of

:10:36. > :10:39.pavement. It is estimated that it would allow local authorities to

:10:40. > :10:41.fill more than 1 million potholes that the message is drop it into

:10:42. > :10:43.being, not the floor. Competitors in England who take part

:10:44. > :10:46.in weekend fun runs will no longer be charged, under new rules

:10:47. > :10:49.proposed by the government. The changes would make it illegal

:10:50. > :10:52.for councils to charge Parkrun, whose events aim to encourage

:10:53. > :10:59.people to exercise. NASA scientists have released

:11:00. > :11:03.new global maps of the Earth at night - which they say give us

:11:04. > :11:06.the clearest view yet of the patterns of human

:11:07. > :11:20.settlement across our planet. It's all racing Europe that looks

:11:21. > :11:21.busy on these things. -- it's always.

:11:22. > :11:23.The maps are created by stitching together thousands

:11:24. > :11:26.of cloud free satellite images, taken over many months.

:11:27. > :11:39.Sarah Corker has been taking a closer look.

:11:40. > :11:45.That's what it would look like if it was cloud free.

:11:46. > :11:51.Let's look at the front pages of the papers. Lots of them are leading on

:11:52. > :11:55.the same story. We'll bring you the front page of the Daily Mirror

:11:56. > :12:00.first. Really quite scary headlines today, I would say. We are used to

:12:01. > :12:04.some fairly significant events over the last several months but here we

:12:05. > :12:09.have Daily Mirror saying we are on the brink of nuclear war. North

:12:10. > :12:15.dictator Kim Jong-un vows to blitz US forces if Trump launches a

:12:16. > :12:18.missile strike on him. We had our correspondence John Sudworth a short

:12:19. > :12:25.time ago. The military parade that has been happening in John Yang. We

:12:26. > :12:30.have pictures of this and people would be closely monitoring the

:12:31. > :12:33.parade itself to see where they are up to with their development --

:12:34. > :12:37.Pyongyang. There are new weapons at the end of the parade which we will

:12:38. > :12:41.get into a little bit later. The Times have similar story. They say

:12:42. > :12:45.that President Trump is looking at a range of options. Of course, there

:12:46. > :12:50.is that at all group which is on its way to the Korean peninsula at the

:12:51. > :12:53.moment. There are reports from the associated press this morning that

:12:54. > :12:59.they are looking at more pressure, perhaps more sanctions as well as

:13:00. > :13:03.negotiations. So we will see. China stepping in, urging both United

:13:04. > :13:07.States and North Korea to not take this any further. Beijing is saying

:13:08. > :13:11.there is no winner in any potential conflict and of course, as we were

:13:12. > :13:14.hearing and as we have reported already this morning on the

:13:15. > :13:17.programme, there is the possibility that they may be some kind of

:13:18. > :13:22.nuclear test, potentially carried out today. A story under front of

:13:23. > :13:29.the Mail which we will look at later. Drivers might -- must use the

:13:30. > :13:32.satnav to pass their new test. Instead of looking solely at

:13:33. > :13:37.roadsides, don't stop looking at them but you will also have to look

:13:38. > :13:42.at satnav on the dashboard. Modernising the driving test. Can

:13:43. > :13:45.you hold that at one time? That is actually is that Prince George's

:13:46. > :13:50.face but it's not really a picture of him. They have mocked up how he

:13:51. > :13:55.will look in his call uniform. A CGI Prince George. I almost lost past

:13:56. > :13:59.that as if it is normal. I don't know why they have done that. Start

:14:00. > :14:07.school, he doesn't start school till September. A great picture here on

:14:08. > :14:10.the Daily Telegraph as well. This is Duncan Rennie on his way to a

:14:11. > :14:14.rehearsal for the Edinburgh is to play. He didn't want to be late so

:14:15. > :14:19.he used his scooter. There were some double takes as he flew by. Good

:14:20. > :14:25.picture. You are watching breakfast from BBC News.

:14:26. > :14:28.The main stories this morning: North Korea has staged a huge

:14:29. > :14:31.military parade, as it warns it will retaliate if it is attacked

:14:32. > :14:35.The driving test is getting a major overhaul, with people now

:14:36. > :14:51.being expected to safely use sat nav, and park in a bay.

:14:52. > :14:56.And you will not have to do that reverse around the corner thing any

:14:57. > :14:57.more. Thank goodness, lots of people will say.

:14:58. > :15:00.Here is Philip with a look at this morning's weather.

:15:01. > :15:08.And you have some Easter bunnies. Let's not be upstaged by the first

:15:09. > :15:12.graphic I show you, please! They like a bit of warmth on their backs,

:15:13. > :15:16.and so do you, no doubt, but I'm afraid that is not the way the

:15:17. > :15:22.Easter weekend is shaping up. On the cool side. There will be some sunny

:15:23. > :15:26.spells but there will be some rain for some in the forecast as well.

:15:27. > :15:30.For some of you that could well be welcome. This is how it shapes up in

:15:31. > :15:34.the next few hours or so. Wash out if you are off to the Scottish

:15:35. > :15:38.mountains because a different kettle of fish here. As soon as you get a

:15:39. > :15:41.pie, the winds will be a real feature. There could be some wintry

:15:42. > :15:46.showers, and the windchill quite noticeable. The showers are there to

:15:47. > :15:50.be had across Scotland and Northern Ireland, north of England, maybe the

:15:51. > :15:53.North of Wales as well. The odd one coming towards the south-west. A lot

:15:54. > :15:57.of dry weather in Central and eastern parts of the British Isles.

:15:58. > :16:00.That winds a real feature, and the north-westerly breeze a real

:16:01. > :16:04.feature. Less of it as we drift away towards the south. Overall it is not

:16:05. > :16:09.a bad day. There is that scattering of showers to speak of but many of

:16:10. > :16:12.you could well see dry and those temperatures are solidly where they

:16:13. > :16:16.have been for so many days now. Forget all about last weekend, that

:16:17. > :16:21.was a complete aberration, some of you getting to 25 degrees or so.

:16:22. > :16:25.Here we go overnight. The skies may clear for a time, the temperatures

:16:26. > :16:29.could well do away for a while, but we are just keeping an eye on this

:16:30. > :16:35.area of cloud and rain. I said there was rain in the forecast, it will be

:16:36. > :16:38.there for Northern Ireland and there is no disguising the fact that

:16:39. > :16:43.whatever I say about is today, it comes with a bit of a caveat as I am

:16:44. > :16:47.not sure how far north that rain goes through a time. It could get to

:16:48. > :16:50.the Central belt and then drift away, and the southern extent a

:16:51. > :16:54.little bit of uncertainty as well. I'm sure some of that will be quite

:16:55. > :16:57.welcome for the gardens because the ground is bone dry in some places

:16:58. > :17:01.but it moves through so I don't think it is a brighter for everybody

:17:02. > :17:05.for the whole of the day. Those temperatures about eight to 16. If

:17:06. > :17:09.you have a plan for Easter Monday, the thing to notice is this wind

:17:10. > :17:12.will be a feature down the east coast. A scattering of showers

:17:13. > :17:16.again, what a cool sort of direction and a word to the wise to gardeners,

:17:17. > :17:19.there will be some cold nights to come in the forthcoming week.

:17:20. > :17:23.Overall I don't think it is too bad. Sounds chilly. Not whether for

:17:24. > :17:27.bluebells. We will be talking about them later. They are not coming out

:17:28. > :17:33.as quickly as they did last year. Are they Britain's favourite

:17:34. > :17:35.Wildflower? They may be. And I discovered there is a Spanish

:17:36. > :17:41.variety overtaking the English variety. We learn a new thing.

:17:42. > :17:44.In a few moments on Breakfast, we will bring you the new headlines.

:17:45. > :17:47.But now, it is time for the Film Review,

:17:48. > :18:04.Hello and welcome to the Film Review on BBC News.

:18:05. > :18:07.To take us through this week's cinema releases is James King.

:18:08. > :18:10.First up, fast cars and tight T-shirts.

:18:11. > :18:14.It is the return of Vin Diesel in the Fast And The Furious 8.

:18:15. > :18:19.From the ridiculous to the sublime, Park Chan-wook's glamorous

:18:20. > :18:26.And Broadbent and Rampling re-live their teenage years

:18:27. > :18:32.in the pensieve The Sense Of An Ending.

:18:33. > :18:40.So we are onto number eight but still an impressive cast?

:18:41. > :18:41.Impressive cast, impressive box office returns.

:18:42. > :18:44.This is such a huge franchise, this one will be huge.

:18:45. > :18:46.The interesting thing about the franchise is where

:18:47. > :18:53.They have to give audiences what they want, which generally

:18:54. > :18:56.speaking are the big action scenes which is the car chases.

:18:57. > :18:59.The big point of difference this time round, is that Vin Diesel

:19:00. > :19:02.who plays Dominic Toretto, the lead character has gone rogue.

:19:03. > :19:09.He is hooked up with a superb criminal called Cipher played

:19:10. > :19:11.by Charlize Theron, who is a hacker extroadinaire.

:19:12. > :19:23.This is what Vin Diesel does for most of the movie

:19:24. > :19:34.Let me ask you something, Dom, what is the best thing in life?

:19:35. > :19:41.It is the ten seconds between start and finish when you're not thinking

:19:42. > :19:43.about anything, no family, no obligations, just

:19:44. > :19:52.I got to tell you, this whole saving the world,

:19:53. > :19:55.Robin Hood nonsense you have been doing recently,

:19:56. > :20:09.Why live only a quarter of a mile at a time when you can

:20:10. > :20:19.I'm just looking at the cast list, Helen Mirren?

:20:20. > :20:20.Helen Mirren playing Jason Statham's mum,

:20:21. > :20:24.I don't think Helen Mirren ever thought it, judging

:20:25. > :20:32.It is a deliberately over the top cockney sparrow

:20:33. > :20:37.Jason Statham provides the best moment of the film.

:20:38. > :20:40.It is a scene where he is fighting the bad guys on a plane,

:20:41. > :20:44.at the same time as trying to save a baby in a carrying cot,

:20:45. > :20:48.so he has to punch people one second and the next second look

:20:49. > :20:51.It is like something Jackie Chan would have done.

:20:52. > :20:55.It is an entertaining scene in the movie.

:20:56. > :20:59.That is fine, that is what people want.

:21:00. > :21:02.Is it doing anything that different to the other ones?

:21:03. > :21:08.There is a formula and it is sticking closely to it.

:21:09. > :21:18.I enjoyed number eight, it did a good job but the problem

:21:19. > :21:22.I had is, it was occasionally treading water and I wanted more

:21:23. > :21:29.Although this will be massive, I hope the next one will

:21:30. > :21:41.It is inspired by the book Fingersmith by Sarah Waters.

:21:42. > :21:47.Now it is directed by Park Chan-wook who is South Korea's most

:21:48. > :21:53.He has moved the action from Victorian England to 1930s

:21:54. > :22:00.A young girl from a criminal background goes to work for the lady

:22:01. > :22:03.of the manor but she is actually there to swindle her out

:22:04. > :22:09.Unlike the book, it really relishes the power of storytelling,

:22:10. > :22:13.in other words, it is the twists and the turns, it is the horror,

:22:14. > :22:16.the comedy, the romance, it throws everything into the mix

:22:17. > :22:18.and does it in a really luxurious and lush way.

:22:19. > :22:24.I want to call it a romp but that sounds throwaway and it is not.

:22:25. > :22:36.Although it is fun to watch because there is so much going on,

:22:37. > :22:38.it is intelligent and heartfelt and tender.

:22:39. > :22:41.It is a beautiful, tender love story.

:22:42. > :22:49.Absolutely beautiful to watch, highly recommended.

:22:50. > :22:57.I had read the book so I knew the twists.

:22:58. > :23:00.The end of The Handmaiden, the movie was different to Fingersmith.

:23:01. > :23:04.Even though I knew the twists, it was still a joy to watch.

:23:05. > :23:06.Let's move on to The Sense Of An Ending.

:23:07. > :23:09.Julian Barnes wrote the book which won the Booker Prize.

:23:10. > :23:12.Now we have the movie with Jim Broadbent.

:23:13. > :23:15.He plays Tony Webster, who is semi retired and works

:23:16. > :23:24.Out of the blue he gets a letter saying the mother

:23:25. > :23:27.of his ex-girlfriend from when he was a teenager has died

:23:28. > :23:29.and he has been left something in her will.

:23:30. > :23:32.This gets him reminiscing and thinking back to his teenage

:23:33. > :23:35.years when he was at school and college and that girlfriend

:23:36. > :23:41.In the present day, that ex-girlfriend is played

:23:42. > :23:44.by Charlotte Rampling so here is Jim and Charlotte getting to know

:23:45. > :24:02.I'm divorced, in case you were wondering.

:24:03. > :24:04.I wasn't, but I am sorry to hear that.

:24:05. > :24:14.In fact, she recently accused me of having built a shrine

:24:15. > :24:21.A shop, when I told her that it was you who gave me my first

:24:22. > :24:36.The only criticism I have read about The Sense Of An Ending

:24:37. > :24:41.It is certainly a story that deals with quite subtle and nuanced

:24:42. > :24:43.arguments about memory and the past and subjectivity,

:24:44. > :24:47.so in a way it can never have a big punch of an ending.

:24:48. > :24:50.In a way, the ending had to be slightly anti-climactic,

:24:51. > :24:56.because that is sort of what it is about,

:24:57. > :24:58.but when you have performances like Jim Broadbent,

:24:59. > :25:01.Charlotte Rampling who does stern and mysterious better than anyone

:25:02. > :25:04.else, when you have that calibre of performers in a movie,

:25:05. > :25:06.however subtle and nuanced and slow the story is,

:25:07. > :25:09.and it is slow, you are automatically drawn in.

:25:10. > :25:11.I liked that it dealt with quite abstract subjects.

:25:12. > :25:24.It takes awhile to get to know the story if you have not read

:25:25. > :25:27.the book already, so it takes awhile to work where the penny will drop

:25:28. > :25:32.but for me that is part of the joy of the film that you have to work

:25:33. > :25:36.And with Jim Broadbent and Charlotte Rampling you will not

:25:37. > :25:40.Jim Broadbent is more of a curmudgeon in this movie

:25:41. > :25:53.He would be upset if I did not mention it again this week!

:25:54. > :25:59.It does have an unwavering commitment to unsettling

:26:00. > :26:07.It is set in a veterinary college about a teenage girl

:26:08. > :26:11.who discovers her taste for flesh, her taste for cannibalism,

:26:12. > :26:15.and it is genuinely creepy and weird.

:26:16. > :26:21.The lighting, the music, the performances, it has this sort

:26:22. > :26:22.of industrial brutalist backdrop and surreal moments,

:26:23. > :26:26.and it is not often with horror films you can say I just haven't

:26:27. > :26:29.seen anything like it before, and it genuinely disturbed me.

:26:30. > :26:32.But Raw did that and did it in a beautiful way.

:26:33. > :26:46.She starts as a vegetarian but things happen at college

:26:47. > :26:48.which make her realise she is perhaps not quite

:26:49. > :26:53.On the squeamish scale, it sounds like something,

:26:54. > :27:05.It is squeamish because it is beautifully done.

:27:06. > :27:07.Because of the elegance that makes it more horrific.

:27:08. > :27:10.Sometimes if it is straight out blood and guts slasher movie

:27:11. > :27:14.it is so in your face and there is nothing to it.

:27:15. > :27:16.When it is more subtle, that is actually creepier.

:27:17. > :27:26.This is Sully, the story of the pilot who managed

:27:27. > :27:32.to land his plane on the Hudson River.

:27:33. > :27:48.Although you expect it to be about the crash landing in 2009,

:27:49. > :27:50.it is in there, you see that, you experience that,

:27:51. > :27:52.but it also shows you what happened before.

:27:53. > :27:56.It shows you the investigation which happened afterwards.

:27:57. > :28:00.He has to prove that he did the right thing, that he is a hero,

:28:01. > :28:03.and of course Tom Hanks can do the everyday down-to-earth

:28:04. > :28:05.reasonable hero probably better than anyone else.

:28:06. > :28:09.So it is not perhaps the movie you would expect but I think that

:28:10. > :28:14.makes it all the better, because it does delve a lot deeper.

:28:15. > :28:28.He brings movies in on budget and on time.

:28:29. > :28:31.He does the job intelligently and you see all of that

:28:32. > :28:41.That is it for this week, thanks for watching.

:28:42. > :29:18.Hello, this is Breakfast with Christian Fraser and Sally

:29:19. > :29:21.Coming up before 7:00, Philip will have the weather.

:29:22. > :29:28.But first, a summary of this morning's main news.

:29:29. > :29:31.North Korea has warned it's prepared to respond in kind

:29:32. > :29:35.It comes amid growing tensions between Pyongyang and the US.

:30:13. > :30:14.Police in Sheffield are investigating four unexplained

:30:15. > :30:17.deaths in the Barnsley area which they think might be linked

:30:18. > :30:20.They're trying to find out if the deaths were caused

:30:21. > :30:28.by the strength and content of the drug being used locally.

:30:29. > :30:31.Driving tests are getting an MOT in order to better reflect

:30:32. > :30:35.From December, learner drivers will no longer have to tackle some

:30:36. > :30:37.traditional manoeuvres, but will instead be

:30:38. > :30:44.expected to demonstrate new skills - such as using a sat nav safely.

:30:45. > :30:47.The Sun columnist, Kelvin MacKenzie, has been suspended over an article

:30:48. > :30:50.in which he mocked the people of Liverpool and compared

:30:51. > :30:52.the intelligence of Everton footballer, Ross Barkley,

:31:52. > :31:54.The maps are created by stitching together thousands of cloud free

:31:55. > :32:10.satellite images, taken over many months.

:32:11. > :32:18.I think that is South Africa down there in the light. Europe is always

:32:19. > :32:24.lit up quite well. Northern Europe has a love of --a lot of lights on

:32:25. > :32:25.at that point. Those are the main

:32:26. > :32:35.stories this morning. And Mike is here with all the sport.

:32:36. > :32:42.I saw a glow around Brighton. Are they partying all ready? Say you are

:32:43. > :32:46.a 10-year-old in the 80s and you get relegated, would you imagine then

:32:47. > :32:52.that you would now be 44 all these years later, you can start to dream?

:32:53. > :32:58.20 years ago they didn't have a ground. They almost went out of the

:32:59. > :33:00.football league. It has been a long time coming. How emotional it must

:33:01. > :33:01.be now. It's been a journey to the edge

:33:02. > :33:04.of oblivion and back, but Brighton are almost

:33:05. > :33:07.back in the big time, after there, two nil

:33:08. > :33:09.victory at Wolves. Both of Brighton's goals came

:33:10. > :33:12.from Championship player Albion stay top, and will be be

:33:13. > :33:15.as good, as promoted, if they beat struggling Wigan,

:33:16. > :33:18.in front of their own fans, Meanwhile, second-placed Newcastle

:33:19. > :33:22.were denied a victory, They went ahead when Jamaal

:33:23. > :33:26.Lascelles header was deemed to have And they held on to that lead,

:33:27. > :33:30.until the fifth minute of injury time when Chris Wood

:33:31. > :33:32.snatched an equaliser. 1-1 it finished in front of more

:33:33. > :33:36.than 52 thousand at St James Park, With Premier League leaders Chelsea,

:33:37. > :33:46.not playing until tomorrow, Tottenham have the opportunity,

:33:47. > :33:49.to narrow the gap at the top, With manager, Mauricio Pochettino,

:33:50. > :34:04.not letting his players think I think it's important to try to be

:34:05. > :34:11.ready Saturday. Try to give our best and try to win and then, and then

:34:12. > :34:15.happened what happened in different games. It is true that can provide

:34:16. > :34:19.us the opportunity to close the gap. There are six other games

:34:20. > :34:22.in the Premier League today, Crystal Palace host Leicester

:34:23. > :34:24.with Burnley off to Everton. Stoke face Hull, and Sunderland ,

:34:25. > :34:28.ten points from safety at the bottom Watford play Swansea

:34:29. > :34:31.and the tea-time match is between Southampton

:34:32. > :34:38.and Manchester City. There was one game in

:34:39. > :34:41.the Scottish Premiership last night. It finished goalless

:34:42. > :34:43.between Kilmarnock and Hearts. Fifth placed Hearts marginally

:34:44. > :34:45.had more of the game at Rugby Park , although Kris Boyd

:34:46. > :34:49.failed to make the most of this They're now six Points

:34:50. > :34:56.from the danger zone. Katie Archibald, has won

:34:57. > :34:58.Great Britain's first gold, at the World Track Cycling

:34:59. > :35:01.Championships, in Hong Kong, It's decided by the number

:35:02. > :35:04.of points you score, The Olympic gold-medallist,

:35:05. > :35:08.was second, going into the final event, which was the points race,

:35:09. > :35:11.and did enough to beat Amy Cure It's Archibald's second world title,

:35:12. > :35:16.and her first individual gold - she was part of the victorious team

:35:17. > :35:31.pursuit squad three years I feel in pain, primarily. Yeah, I

:35:32. > :35:40.feel really privileged to pull it off in the end. That was an

:35:41. > :35:44.unbelievable Antony -- grippy race. I just got back on in the end and

:35:45. > :35:49.pulled it out of the bag. Castleford stay top of Super League,

:35:50. > :35:52.after a convincing 42-24 victory, The Tigers did the damage

:35:53. > :35:55.in the first half, scoring six trys including two

:35:56. > :35:58.for Grant Millington and two They remain a couple of points ahead

:35:59. > :36:02.of Salford who beat Leigh, Elsewhere, Wigan claimed a thrilling

:36:03. > :36:12.derby win over St Helens, who played for 67 minutes with 12

:36:13. > :36:15.men, after Kyle Amor, Liam Marshall and his wing

:36:16. > :36:18.partner Joe Burgess, both scored twice

:36:19. > :36:20.as Wigan won 29-18. Exeter are joint top of rugby

:36:21. > :36:22.union's Premiership, after a bonus point victory over

:36:23. > :36:25.play-off hopefuls Harlequins. Quins were hoping to squeeze

:36:26. > :36:28.into the last available play off place, but Exeter's winning streak

:36:29. > :36:30.continued at the Stoop. This wonderful effort

:36:31. > :36:32.from Henry Slade, wrapped up In the Pro12, it was pretty much,

:36:33. > :36:46.one-way traffic as Glasgow, beat Zebre 45-10, to keep

:36:47. > :36:49.their top four hopes alive, despite effectively

:36:50. > :36:50.fielding a second team. They scored four, first half

:36:51. > :36:53.tries including this one If you were asked to name,

:36:54. > :36:58.the world's top alpine skiing nations, you might suggest

:36:59. > :37:00.the likes of Switzerland. You'd probably be less likely

:37:01. > :37:10.to pick Britain though. But ten years ago, the sport's

:37:11. > :37:17.new performance director, Dan Hunt, transformed GB cycling -

:37:18. > :37:22.and he's now hoping to repeat that So I went to the, Delancey British

:37:23. > :37:28.Championships in Tignes, to find out how British skiing,

:37:29. > :37:48.is being brought in from the cold, The dawn of what many believe could

:37:49. > :37:55.be a new era of British skiing and leading the way, on top of the

:37:56. > :37:59.world. He specialises in Nestle Lum and stunned the world this year by

:38:00. > :38:05.coming second in the World Cup race in Austria. Following in his wake

:38:06. > :38:15.like many others, inspired by his success, the first Briton to make

:38:16. > :38:20.the podium. It was a life changing moment. They were going crazy for it

:38:21. > :38:31.in Austria. Obviously I am over the moon. To do it here like the Wembley

:38:32. > :38:35.of alpine skiing, it was awesome. You started off at a dry slope in

:38:36. > :38:38.Lancashire while still in primary school and really honed his skills

:38:39. > :38:42.in this surface. It was several years before he first raised on snow

:38:43. > :38:47.that has been tipped to Winter Olympics and World Championship but

:38:48. > :38:53.it is only now that he is 30 that it has come right. A lot of hard work

:38:54. > :38:57.over the last three years. You have to work on the ranking in year after

:38:58. > :39:01.year and you get a better start number. This year, I was able to

:39:02. > :39:07.take advantage of that and have little less pressure. On Nestle Lum,

:39:08. > :39:16.Dave couldn't wait for me to show me that technique and what he goes

:39:17. > :39:27.through in a daily basis. -- slalom. Get that poll in. Now take it easy!

:39:28. > :39:33.Did that go badly wrong? Yes. We just have to get the pressure on the

:39:34. > :39:46.outside ski and a nice line. You ready? There you go. A natural now.

:39:47. > :39:50.The feeling here at the British skiing championships is that Dave

:39:51. > :39:53.Ryding might be the beginning of a great new era of British skiing.

:39:54. > :40:03.Especially now with a man who transferred -- transport cycling on

:40:04. > :40:09.board. We set an ambitious target to become one of the top five and the

:40:10. > :40:16.podium competitive by 2030. It feels similar to the background we started

:40:17. > :40:24.in cycling. A lot of ambition. Gold medal. A huge momentum that British

:40:25. > :40:32.cycling had and we are starting to get. Dave and 13's recent success

:40:33. > :40:36.has recently gone Royal. Prince Edward attended the championships to

:40:37. > :40:40.help hand out the medals. There is a different feeling now. They are

:40:41. > :40:45.managed to get themselves into better shape. On the men's side,

:40:46. > :40:52.it's a really big story. Success for the slope stars at Sochi, Jenny

:40:53. > :40:58.Jones of one a historic medal and got the ball rolling. More funding

:40:59. > :41:02.is needed and the sport as precarious as this, nothing can be

:41:03. > :41:05.taken for granted. The rest of the world are now aware that Team GB and

:41:06. > :41:14.Dave Ryding are forced to be with. Hopes are growing that he could win

:41:15. > :41:19.an Olympic medal. The other thing they are doing in terms of funding

:41:20. > :41:24.is asking anybody who goes to a skiing holiday to fund ?1 per person

:41:25. > :41:27.to help fund British hopes. I hope we see a bit more of you on the skis

:41:28. > :41:29.at it later in the programme. It is the world's most secretive

:41:30. > :41:32.nation, that has generated both fascination and fear

:41:33. > :41:34.since it was founded nearly But as North Korea prepares to mark

:41:35. > :41:39.the anniversary of the birth of its founding father,

:41:40. > :41:41.China has warned that tensions have escalated so much, conflict

:41:42. > :41:44.could break out at any time. The US has also expressed

:41:45. > :41:54.serious concern. Jean Lee has reported

:41:55. > :41:56.on the republic for many years and joins us from

:41:57. > :42:03.Seoul in South Korea. You set up the bureau in John Young.

:42:04. > :42:12.I imagine you have been to one or two of these parades. -- Pyongyang.

:42:13. > :42:19.I have. As a watcher from outside, what are we looking for a mess

:42:20. > :42:24.parade? This is the biggest holiday of the year, April 15. It is the day

:42:25. > :42:29.that the founder of North Korea Kim Il-sung was born 105 years ago. This

:42:30. > :42:33.year it is particularly significant. They love these big milestone

:42:34. > :42:39.birthdays. The 100th was massive, five years ago. Again, the 105th,

:42:40. > :42:43.these are the biggest holidays of the year, a chance to give the

:42:44. > :42:48.people something to celebrate. I have to say, all of this rhetoric

:42:49. > :42:51.that we are hearing plays into that. The North Koreans are trained to

:42:52. > :42:55.believe that they are constantly under threat by an attack by the US.

:42:56. > :43:01.There is all this tension leading up to it and that is part of the

:43:02. > :43:07.rhetoric. They incorporate it and use it. Everybody is looking at what

:43:08. > :43:14.kind of Arsenal they are rolling out. They do tend to use this to

:43:15. > :43:18.show off their new missiles. It gives experts a closer look. Did we

:43:19. > :43:26.see anything new today that would worry us? Now, I am not a rocket

:43:27. > :43:30.expert that there are certainly people who have very detailed

:43:31. > :43:33.explanations of what they are seeing and how that is significant.

:43:34. > :43:39.Certainly what we are seeing is this in use of a solid fuel rocket and

:43:40. > :43:48.this is something that Kim Jong-un ordered his scientists to test not

:43:49. > :43:50.so long ago. Every single test, they are perfecting the technology and

:43:51. > :43:55.getting closer to their ultimate goal which is to get a hydrogen bomb

:43:56. > :43:58.and small enough to put on long-range ballistic missile which

:43:59. > :44:03.would be capable of striking the United States. You say that the

:44:04. > :44:06.people in North Korea are taught that they are constantly under

:44:07. > :44:09.threat. If you breathe a British newspapers today, they are right to

:44:10. > :44:14.be worried because they are worried about the very real threat of an

:44:15. > :44:21.American strike. The day in North Korea know about that? They do know

:44:22. > :44:25.about it. They are largely shut off from news from the outside world are

:44:26. > :44:31.most it is realised by their state beta -- relayed by their state

:44:32. > :44:35.media. This news has been relayed by their state media. It fits right

:44:36. > :44:40.into the rhetoric that they need for these big celebrations. They have

:44:41. > :44:44.spoken out quite critically of the positioning of these aircraft

:44:45. > :44:48.carrier off the coast of Korea. With fighter jets just poised to

:44:49. > :44:53.intercept or perhaps strike if there is any kind of provocation from

:44:54. > :44:58.North Korea. They are very, very aware of all of the weaponry that is

:44:59. > :45:02.positioned around the Korean peninsula. I was telling our viewers

:45:03. > :45:05.about the pressure that John Sudworth, our corresponded with

:45:06. > :45:08.there, would be under when he was doing his piece to camera with

:45:09. > :45:11.everything going behind him. They would have been people standing

:45:12. > :45:16.right next to him at watching what he was saying. You spent five years

:45:17. > :45:17.there. What sort of surveillance and attention did you come under when

:45:18. > :45:26.you were there? Are certainly not like reporting

:45:27. > :45:33.from any other place in the world. John is on a government organised

:45:34. > :45:37.trip so it is very orchestrated and you have very little freedom. I have

:45:38. > :45:41.been on those trips as well. You have very little say on what you are

:45:42. > :45:45.going to do. As he will tell you, very early calls although that is

:45:46. > :45:50.fairly standard for coverage of a national leader or president. That

:45:51. > :45:53.said, it is not like any place else. You need permission to go for a walk

:45:54. > :45:57.and you are very self-conscious while trying to provide the world

:45:58. > :46:01.with balanced and contextual reporting, when you realise they are

:46:02. > :46:05.looking at you very closely. That said, I think when you get away from

:46:06. > :46:08.some of these orchestrated propaganda events, that is when you

:46:09. > :46:13.really start to do some real reporting. Thank you for being on

:46:14. > :46:18.the programme with us this morning. It is interesting, isn't it, how

:46:19. > :46:22.they report in North Korea. And we will be showing more of John's

:46:23. > :46:27.report later in the morning, that incredible piece to camera, as you

:46:28. > :46:33.say, with all the artillery. And we talk about it as if there is no

:46:34. > :46:37.threat, but of course Rupert Wingfield Hayes was rounded up and

:46:38. > :46:42.spent some time in their company. Let's get some weather, shall we?

:46:43. > :46:48.Hopefully some cheerier news in the weather. I do, but I have removed

:46:49. > :46:52.the rabbits. I will not be upstaged all morning by a bunch of rodents!

:46:53. > :46:55.This is the way it is shaping up in the next few hours. 20 of showers

:46:56. > :46:58.and a chilly feel across Scotland. Some of those showers are really

:46:59. > :47:02.quite wintry over the highest ground. If you are off to the

:47:03. > :47:05.mountains, the windchill factor to be considered, and some snow.

:47:06. > :47:09.Northern Ireland, some sunny spells and showers, and some of those

:47:10. > :47:14.getting towards the Top End of the Pennines. Wintry at the very highest

:47:15. > :47:18.levels. Further south, essentially it is a dry picture. One ought to

:47:19. > :47:21.make showers to start off with across the south-west. The cloud may

:47:22. > :47:25.well fill in towards lunchtime across southern part so you may lose

:47:26. > :47:29.the sunshine and if you get the combination of the breeze and the

:47:30. > :47:32.lack of sun it will feel the chilly. Despite the fact that the

:47:33. > :47:36.temperatures are pretty much where we have seen them in recent days.

:47:37. > :47:38.And all the while the wind probably at its strongest across northern

:47:39. > :47:42.parts of Scotland. Through the evening if you are stepping out, one

:47:43. > :47:46.ought to make showers. Many of you will stay dry but later in the night

:47:47. > :47:50.will fill in this cloud across Northern Ireland. That is the first

:47:51. > :47:52.signs of some wet weather for Easter Day. That is the temperature

:47:53. > :47:55.profile, so some of those temperatures just coming up a touch

:47:56. > :47:59.across the southern parts. This range area, I think there is

:48:00. > :48:02.something to be said about it, the northern extent and the southern

:48:03. > :48:06.extent still open to deal of uncertainty. But you get the sense

:48:07. > :48:10.that if you are anywhere through the heart of the British Isles you are

:48:11. > :48:14.in with a chance of seeing some rain, at least for a while. You will

:48:15. > :48:18.notice that it does move through, so that perhaps is the one crumb of

:48:19. > :48:23.comfort if you end up with that rain for any length of time. I should say

:48:24. > :48:26.that some of you in the South will properly welcome a wee bit of rain,

:48:27. > :48:30.given how dry it conditions have been. If you have a plan for Easter

:48:31. > :48:34.Monday, here is the weather for you. A lot of dry weather again but the

:48:35. > :48:38.thing to note is the breeze is coming in from the north across the

:48:39. > :48:41.British Isles, and that its strongest across the eastern coast,

:48:42. > :48:46.where I think that will rattle in a few showers. And a word to the wise,

:48:47. > :48:50.off the back of that it will be a cold night, and that is the plan for

:48:51. > :48:51.the week. Some pretty chilly nights. Thank you, getting colder.

:48:52. > :48:54.The news coming up in a few moments here on Breakfast.

:48:55. > :49:16.We are now more surveilled than we have ever been.

:49:17. > :49:21.Authorities are gathering data on its citizens.

:49:22. > :49:24.It would be all too easy to confuse the real world

:49:25. > :49:30.Mr Marks, my mandate of the District of Columbia Pre-Crime Division.

:49:31. > :49:33.I'm placing you under arrest for the future murder of Sarah Marks

:49:34. > :49:36.and Donald Dubin, that was due to take place today,

:49:37. > :49:38.April 22, at 0800 hrs and four minutes.

:49:39. > :49:42.In the movie Minority Report, the Pre-crimes Unit race to arrest

:49:43. > :49:45.would-be offenders before they have a chance to

:49:46. > :49:50.Now, they use psychics but it turns out, something similar

:49:51. > :49:54.In Chicago, where the violent crime rate has exploded,

:49:55. > :49:57.law enforcement has been forced to try out unconventional ideas

:49:58. > :50:03.Authorities are attempting to combine various technologies

:50:04. > :50:05.in an effort to predict where and when violent

:50:06. > :50:16.Marc Cieslak went to Chicago to find out more.

:50:17. > :50:22.Violent crime in Chicago has seen a dramatic increase.

:50:23. > :50:24.RADIO: A 15-year-old male, shot in the neck.

:50:25. > :50:32.We need a wagon with a body bag also.

:50:33. > :50:34.The drug industry is what helps them fuel the violence,

:50:35. > :50:38.by being able to pay for their activity.

:50:39. > :50:41.In 2016, 726 murders were committed in the city,

:50:42. > :50:47.That's more than the number of murders committed in New York

:50:48. > :50:55.Chicago is a city most famously known as the Windy City.

:50:56. > :50:58.More recently, it has earned a nickname that few residents

:50:59. > :51:06.That's because gun crime is so extreme in some

:51:07. > :51:08.neighbourhoods, they are comparing them to war zones.

:51:09. > :51:11.The issue has received increasingly negative attention in the US,

:51:12. > :51:13.with President Trump tweeting, "If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible

:51:14. > :51:22.carnage going on, I will send in the Feds".

:51:23. > :51:25.The response from Chicago's Police Department is a new initiative,

:51:26. > :51:27.driven by technology, which aims to predict where crimes

:51:28. > :51:38.The University of Chicago's Urban Labs are assisting the police

:51:39. > :51:54.in its efforts to integrate this technology into its operations.

:51:55. > :51:57.We have a lot of expertise in analysing crime patterns

:51:58. > :52:00.and trends in the city, from years of working with data

:52:01. > :52:07.And so we are leveraging that expertise to really help

:52:08. > :52:09.the Police Department think about where it should be

:52:10. > :52:14.allocating its resources to be most effective.

:52:15. > :52:18.So what kind of data or information is it that the police are providing

:52:19. > :52:23.We have a number of datasets that we work with from them,

:52:24. > :52:25.including data on crime patterns, actual crime

:52:26. > :52:28.A number of different methods of analysis are used,

:52:29. > :52:30.including machine learning and predictive analytics.

:52:31. > :52:32.This is software which takes large volumes of data and tries

:52:33. > :52:42.These trends can then help predict where a crime might occur next.

:52:43. > :52:45.This is a heat map of homicides in District 7.

:52:46. > :52:49.And we are looking at this year over year, from 2011 to 2016.

:52:50. > :52:52.And basically, what you see on the map is the darker the red,

:52:53. > :53:00.the more concentrated homicides were in a given area.

:53:01. > :53:02.What sort of factors are you finding are influencing crime

:53:03. > :53:09.Yeah, so, most of the prediction that we're doing is space-based.

:53:10. > :53:11.So, yeah, it's locations that are nearby that are high-risk

:53:12. > :53:14.locations, like a 24-hour liquor store, a gas station,

:53:15. > :53:19.The weather seems to be playing a very big role in the data.

:53:20. > :53:22.You know, we've just had a beautiful weekend and we just had

:53:23. > :53:25.significantly worse amount of shootings than we had previous

:53:26. > :53:32.The police are using these predictive tools to inform

:53:33. > :53:34.the deployment of officers and resources to areas

:53:35. > :53:37.where they think crimes are likely to occur.

:53:38. > :53:40.Neighbourhoods in Chicago's West and South Side are some

:53:41. > :53:44.It is these neighbourhoods which have been chosen to test

:53:45. > :53:48.We are just driving through Chicago's South Side now.

:53:49. > :53:51.Now, this is one of the areas which has experienced the highest

:53:52. > :53:54.incidence of violent crime, mainly gun and drug related.

:53:55. > :53:58.To see how all of this different kit works,

:53:59. > :54:01.I'm on my way to a police station which acts as a command centre,

:54:02. > :54:03.bringing all of the technologies together.

:54:04. > :54:06.Heading up the project is Deputy Chief Jonathan Lewen

:54:07. > :54:15.So this is our Strategic Decision Support Center.

:54:16. > :54:18.So this is where you bring all of your different technologies

:54:19. > :54:23.This is the first time that this level of technology integration has

:54:24. > :54:26.been done, not only here, I think, but around the country.

:54:27. > :54:30.So what can we see on the screens we have got around us?

:54:31. > :54:32.So, all around us are various sensor inputs,

:54:33. > :54:35.The screen behind you is something called Hunch Lab,

:54:36. > :54:39.which is a geographic prediction tool that brings a lot of data

:54:40. > :54:41.into a model to predict risk for future violence.

:54:42. > :54:47.So what you are seeing on these little boxes here are areas

:54:48. > :54:50.where the model is recommending that we deploy resources

:54:51. > :54:52.and implement strategies to fight some of the violence

:54:53. > :55:01.And then it is telling us that we should deploy resources,

:55:02. > :55:03.visit businesses, do foot patrol, various tactics.

:55:04. > :55:05.Shot Spotter just very quickly triangulates possible gunshot events

:55:06. > :55:08.using acoustic sensors that are located throughout the district,

:55:09. > :55:11.and it shows the officer exactly where, accurate to within 25 yards,

:55:12. > :55:15.And you can actually play the audio of the gunshot event,

:55:16. > :55:18.So here's an event with nine rounds fired.

:55:19. > :55:27.And in this case, you can see the location is actually the back

:55:28. > :55:30.yard of a house, so that's going to be very accurate.

:55:31. > :55:33.So this is the decision support system, and this is where everything

:55:34. > :55:37.It will soon be available in the hands of officers

:55:38. > :55:44.So in this case, we are looking at a 911 call of a robbery that just

:55:45. > :55:49.There are four cameras within a 300 foot radius of that call.

:55:50. > :55:51.Here is the real-time video from those cameras.

:55:52. > :55:53.These guys here, these are possible suspects, or...

:55:54. > :55:56.These are people that might possibly be involved?

:55:57. > :56:00.How do we know that this is identifying the right people?

:56:01. > :56:05.We find when we test and measure them, that the model's

:56:06. > :56:08.recommendations, because we can backdate it, we can look at a known

:56:09. > :56:10.outcome period and see how it performs.

:56:11. > :56:13.And we know that it's picking the right people because we know

:56:14. > :56:21.But some of this technology is proving to be controversial,

:56:22. > :56:24.It's called the Strategic Subjects List.

:56:25. > :56:28.and locations, this list is concerned with predicting crimes

:56:29. > :56:38.Just like Hunch Lab is a place-based risk model, this is a person-based

:56:39. > :56:41.risk model that is looking at variables such as arrest

:56:42. > :56:44.activity, so have you been arrested for a gun offence in the past?

:56:45. > :56:49.So it's using some crime victim data.

:56:50. > :56:51.Is your trend line in criminal activity increasing or decreasing?

:56:52. > :56:54.What was your age at the time you were last arrested?

:56:55. > :56:58.Nothing about race, nothing about gender,

:56:59. > :57:02.It is using objective measures to determine risk

:57:03. > :57:07.It's basically telling us that this person is 500 times more likely

:57:08. > :57:10.than a member of the general population to be involved

:57:11. > :57:14.in a shooting, either as a victim or an offender.

:57:15. > :57:17.So in here, we can see his affiliations, his gang affiliations.

:57:18. > :57:21.We can see also his, is this his arrest record

:57:22. > :57:26.You can see that he has a weapons arrest.

:57:27. > :57:27.He was arrested here for aggravated battery.

:57:28. > :57:30.So here's a first-degree murder charge.

:57:31. > :57:33.Here's another arrest, this is a narcotics arrest.

:57:34. > :57:36.So the score estimates how much more likely an individual is to be

:57:37. > :57:41.the victim or the perpetrator of a violent crime.

:57:42. > :57:44.The police use this score to inform what they call intervention

:57:45. > :57:49.This is not designed to be a punitive tool.

:57:50. > :57:52.This is used to drive what we call a custom notification process,

:57:53. > :57:55.which is literally a site visit to this subject,

:57:56. > :57:58.to say, "You've come to our attention for these reasons.

:57:59. > :58:00.We want to get you out of the cycle of violence.

:58:01. > :58:03.We can offer you the following social services".

:58:04. > :58:08.Maybe if they have children at home, it would be childcare services.

:58:09. > :58:12."But also, if you don't leave the cycle of violence and you keep

:58:13. > :58:14.committing crimes, you're going to be subject to enhanced

:58:15. > :58:16.criminal penalties", because you're a repeat gun

:58:17. > :58:20.And can you see why, if police officers go and visit

:58:21. > :58:23.somebody out of the blue, it might seem like they are being

:58:24. > :58:28.Everybody who has a risk score has committed a crime in the past.

:58:29. > :58:30.Otherwise they wouldn't even be in the model.

:58:31. > :58:32.Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union, though, disagree.

:58:33. > :58:35.They aren't happy about the use of some of these technologies.

:58:36. > :58:38.The police showed us a database of people who have been involved

:58:39. > :58:41.in violent crime in the past, and an algorithm which suggests

:58:42. > :58:45.if and when they might again be involved in a violent crime.

:58:46. > :58:51.Oftentimes in large numbers, along with a number

:58:52. > :58:55.But what they won't say is what social services are offering.

:58:56. > :58:58.Is it just them or is it their entire family?

:58:59. > :59:00.What is the success rate once that occurs?

:59:01. > :59:04.The fact is, is that most of the people who are charged for...

:59:05. > :59:07.You know, if you take two people who are arrested for a simple drug

:59:08. > :59:10.possession, if one is white and one is African-American,

:59:11. > :59:12.the African-American is far more likely to be charged,

:59:13. > :59:16.We have seen that there has been, you know, in essence,

:59:17. > :59:19.a "once convicted, always guilty" sort of theme that comes out

:59:20. > :59:30.While there might be disagreements about the use of this technology,

:59:31. > :59:33.everybody I spoke to had similar ideas about an ultimate solution

:59:34. > :59:39.to tackling violent crime in Chicago.

:59:40. > :59:42.It's got to be every, everybody that's a stakeholder

:59:43. > :59:44.in this coming together to solve the problem.

:59:45. > :59:47.What is really needed across this city is a commitment

:59:48. > :59:56.I think a lot of it has to do with preventing,

:59:57. > :59:58.with healing, and creating a space where individuals can civically

:06:07. > :06:10.will no longer have to tackle some traditional manoeuvres,

:06:11. > :06:12.but will instead be expected to demonstrate new skills -

:06:21. > :06:24.examined on new things. The first driving test

:06:25. > :06:28.was taken in 1935. Clearly, today's drivers are used

:06:29. > :06:32.to a very different road experience. More than half use satnav

:06:33. > :06:35.and so the test has been Turning right up at the gate,

:06:48. > :06:53.at the end of the road, turn left. Drivers will have to

:06:54. > :06:55.follow satnav directions. So if we can incorporate

:06:56. > :06:58.it into the test, that will drive the train in and get

:06:59. > :07:01.people more familiar with dealing with that level of destraction

:07:02. > :07:04.as well which we know is one of the biggest causes of accidents

:07:05. > :07:07.in the first six months Learners will also be asked

:07:08. > :07:14.to show they can cope with real life scenarios such

:07:15. > :07:20.as parking within a bay. We were often taking people down

:07:21. > :07:22.into housing estates where they would be reversing around

:07:23. > :07:26.a corner and perhaps using up half a test doing these

:07:27. > :07:27.set piece manoeuvres. The whole point is to change

:07:28. > :07:31.all of that, to get people far The new tests have been trialled

:07:32. > :07:41.in some areas and will be introduced Candidates will be asked to drive

:07:42. > :07:46.independently for longer but the cost and length

:07:47. > :07:49.of the exam will stay the same, as no doubt will the nerves of those

:07:50. > :08:02.going through the process. And we will be talking later about

:08:03. > :08:08.why the changes have been made. Did you pass the first time? Yes, of

:08:09. > :08:10.course. Such a know it all. Apologies to anybody who took seven

:08:11. > :08:14.times to pass that test. The Sun columnist, Kelvin MacKenzie,

:08:23. > :08:25.for what he called "racial slurs". It was this column published

:08:26. > :08:29.yesterday which has seen Kelvin Mackenzie

:08:30. > :08:31.suspended from the Sun. The article was about Everton

:08:32. > :08:35.midfielder Ross Berkely who was punched earlier this

:08:36. > :08:38.week in a Liverpool bar. In it, the paper's former editor

:08:39. > :08:41.compared the footballer, whose grandfather was born

:08:42. > :08:44.in Nigeria, to a gorilla. Mr MacKenzie also wrote that men

:08:45. > :08:47.with similar pay packets My stomach turned when I see

:08:48. > :08:53.the picture of Ross Barkley I think that was totally

:08:54. > :09:00.racist and it offended me. I'm sure it offended

:09:01. > :09:02.Ross Barkley and his That's why I have reported

:09:03. > :09:07.it to the police. I'm not reporting it

:09:08. > :09:10.to the police as a gimmick, I've reported it because I felt

:10:16. > :10:18.and is committed to doing a deal Now, to what's become a sticky

:10:19. > :10:23.subject for some councils. The removal of discarded chewing gum

:10:24. > :10:26.from streets costs local authorities So the Local Government

:10:27. > :10:33.Association is calling on manufacturers to do more

:10:34. > :10:35.to help tackle the problem. In attractive packaging,

:10:36. > :10:41.it is a staple on the shelves inside most shops and supermarkets

:10:42. > :10:44.but once the chewing gum leaves the store and makes it way

:10:45. > :10:48.onto the high street, that's when it becomes

:10:49. > :10:52.an unattractive problem. Councils in England and Wales

:10:53. > :10:55.are now calling on the manufacturers to contribute to the huge bills

:10:56. > :11:00.they face to clean it up. We have over a number of years asked

:11:01. > :11:04.the industry to try and find a solution using the chemistry

:11:05. > :11:07.and science that they have They have been really slow to act

:11:08. > :11:13.and this is another call to say, actually, this ?60 million a year

:11:14. > :11:16.that councils are spending to clear up their product could be better

:11:17. > :11:19.spent on other services The call comes after one charity

:11:20. > :11:26.found almost every main shopping street in the country

:11:27. > :11:29.is sustained by gum. Along with around two thirds

:11:30. > :11:37.of all roads and pavements. And here on one of Britain's

:11:38. > :11:42.busiest high streets - Oxford Street in London -

:11:43. > :11:46.it's not difficult to spot chewing gum stuck to the floor and is not

:11:47. > :11:49.surprising considering it only costs However councils say it cost 50

:11:50. > :11:54.times that to remove it - at ?1.50 per square

:11:55. > :12:05.metre of pavement. It's estimated assistance

:12:06. > :12:07.from chewing gum companies would allow local authorities

:12:08. > :12:10.to fill more than 1 million potholes but the message from the brands

:12:11. > :12:13.is drop it in the bin, Competitors in England who take part

:12:14. > :12:19.in weekend fun runs will no longer be charged, under new rules

:12:20. > :12:21.proposed by the government. The changes would make it illegal

:12:22. > :12:24.for councils to charge Parkrun, whose events aim to encourage

:12:25. > :12:36.people to exercise. You need to run for an hour at a

:12:37. > :12:38.time. Not in our every month or every year.

:12:50. > :13:00.It's all racing Europe that looks busy on these things.

:13:01. > :13:03.The maps are created by stitching together thousands

:13:04. > :13:12.of cloud free satellite images, taken over many months.

:13:13. > :13:25.Lots of darkness, though. Sitting your driving test can be a nerve

:13:26. > :13:28.racking experience. But people hoping to get behind the wheel will

:13:29. > :13:33.face some different challenges from the end of this year as the exam is

:13:34. > :13:49.undergoing an MOT. The practical driving test

:13:50. > :13:51.will change in four main ways. The independent driving part

:13:52. > :13:53.will increase in length Candidates will follow

:13:54. > :13:57.directions on a sat nav Traditional manoeuvres -

:13:58. > :14:01.such as the 'reverse around a corner' - will be replaced

:14:02. > :14:04.with more real life scenarios, including driving into and reversing

:14:05. > :14:06.out of a parking bay. such as how to use

:14:07. > :14:10.the rear heated screen - will be tested while

:14:11. > :14:13.the candidate is driving. We've been asking some motorists

:14:14. > :14:20.what they make of the changes. Satnav now tells you what lane to be

:14:21. > :14:23.in so it could stop potentially a lot of accidents happening. People

:14:24. > :14:28.don't know how to use a satnav while driving. They need to be built in

:14:29. > :14:33.these days because they can be just as distracting as a mobile phone. A

:14:34. > :14:39.lot of people use them on the phones, don't they? Show people that

:14:40. > :14:43.using a satnav is handy and it may be deterring them away from using

:14:44. > :14:47.their mobile phones. Parallel parking or reverse parking is always

:14:48. > :14:51.a good thing because nobody can park in a bay any ball especially because

:14:52. > :14:57.the cars are getting bigger and the bays are getting smaller.

:14:58. > :15:00.Peter Rodger is the Head of Driving Advice from the road

:15:01. > :15:07.safety charity, I AM RoadSmart, and helped to develop the new exam.

:15:08. > :15:12.Good morning to you. There are lots of changes which will catch people

:15:13. > :15:18.'s eye. Why have you introduced the sat nav into the test? It does a

:15:19. > :15:21.number of things. It is relatively credible for young people in

:15:22. > :15:29.particular, taking their driving test. It is likely to be how they

:15:30. > :15:32.find their way around so it gives an aura of credibility to the thing. It

:15:33. > :15:38.allows the section to be lengthened, allowing us to follow road signs for

:15:39. > :15:42.20 minutes is difficult, but using a sat nav it is much easier to make

:15:43. > :15:51.that work. Combine that with the changing manoeuvres, and pulling out

:15:52. > :15:54.of backstreets on the main roads and roads and making it more like the

:15:55. > :15:58.kind of driving they will do afterwards. One thing that has

:15:59. > :16:02.changed as potential distractions in the vehicle, and sat nav is one of

:16:03. > :16:06.them. Are you thinking that examiners should have to look at new

:16:07. > :16:11.things that a driver would be distracted by? Yes, use of the sat

:16:12. > :16:16.nav, while it has all those other reasons as to why it has been

:16:17. > :16:19.adopted, arose out of a conversation around how we get people to deal

:16:20. > :16:25.with distraction as part of learning and training and testing processes.

:16:26. > :16:31.And that is actually why the safety question, can you show me how you

:16:32. > :16:35.would put the rear screen demister on, that is why that has been moved

:16:36. > :16:39.into the driving part of the tests, because part of what you are doing

:16:40. > :16:44.bearers asking the candidate to manage the process of dealing with a

:16:45. > :16:50.set of distractions to the driving task itself. What have you taken out

:16:51. > :16:53.of the test? We have taken out lots of driving around backstreets

:16:54. > :16:58.looking for somewhere to do the turn in the road, the 3-point turn, or

:16:59. > :17:03.reverse around the corner. Those two manoeuvres mean that you need quiet

:17:04. > :17:06.backstreets to do them in, and by replacing those with different ones,

:17:07. > :17:10.you actually allow the test to come out of the backstreets. And that is

:17:11. > :17:16.the big positive, and that is the thing which has, if you like,

:17:17. > :17:21.disappeared. Will be a tricky manoeuvre tests, in another way?

:17:22. > :17:25.There will still be a manoeuvre, there is a list of four or five

:17:26. > :17:29.manoeuvres, and you will be asked to do one of them, you have no idea

:17:30. > :17:32.what it will be. The new one which has been introduced are driving

:17:33. > :17:36.forwards into a carpark parking bay and reversing out of it again.

:17:37. > :17:38.Something we all do in a supermarket, for example. And

:17:39. > :17:43.parking on the right-hand side of the road and reversing back a couple

:17:44. > :17:47.of car lengths and rejoining the traffic. The test has to include

:17:48. > :17:51.reversing. That is actually written into the law that surrounds it all.

:17:52. > :17:57.So the test must include a reversing process. And in the trials, what did

:17:58. > :18:02.you learn about the changes? Overall it was positive. Driving instructors

:18:03. > :18:07.who were engaging with it gave good feedback. The candidates gave good

:18:08. > :18:10.feedback. Really importantly, it didn't change who passed on who

:18:11. > :18:14.failed. What it was doing was picking up how well or how badly the

:18:15. > :18:20.individuals performed. So overall, it came out as being a positive step

:18:21. > :18:25.forward, and of course it has a bit more of a 21st-century feel to it

:18:26. > :18:28.all. And does this mean now that driving instructors up and down this

:18:29. > :18:33.country will have to change the way they teach? No, what it means is

:18:34. > :18:37.they will have to change exactly what it is... They will have to

:18:38. > :18:41.brief their pupils, really, what it is that they are going to have to do

:18:42. > :18:45.in the driving test. Good driving instructors teaching you to drive,

:18:46. > :18:49.not to perform specific things so that you can do whatever it is you

:18:50. > :18:54.might need to do. The one thing driving instructors will have to

:18:55. > :18:58.adopt, however, is the use of a sat nav. We are not asking the candidate

:18:59. > :19:03.to programme the sat nav, just to do what it is telling you to do. To be

:19:04. > :19:10.able to look at it, listen to it, all those kinds of things. Thank you

:19:11. > :19:23.very much indeed. So it is not getting easier. You still have to do

:19:24. > :19:28.the tricky manoeuvres. Throwing a sat nav, that doesn't sound easier.

:19:29. > :19:34.Send us your thoughts on Twitter if you are going on your driving test,

:19:35. > :19:36.maybe you will have to do some of this. Let us know what you think.

:19:37. > :19:38.You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:19:39. > :19:41.The main stories this morning: North Korea has staged a huge

:19:42. > :19:44.military parade, as it warns it will retaliate if it is attacked

:19:45. > :19:49.The driving test is getting a major overhaul, with people now

:19:50. > :19:56.being expected to safely use sat nav, and park in a bay.

:19:57. > :20:01.Here is Philip with a look at this morning's weather.

:20:02. > :20:08.You are spoiling us with flowers this morning. Yes, indeed, I am a

:20:09. > :20:13.cheapskate. These come free. I don't know why showing you Chew lips, mine

:20:14. > :20:20.have already gone. Things have so very dry across southern parts of

:20:21. > :20:24.the British Isles -- tulips. It is not write off, there will be some

:20:25. > :20:29.sunny spells, but we have got some rain in the forecast. First of all I

:20:30. > :20:34.want to tell you about Scotland, because 75 mile an hour winds, -5,

:20:35. > :20:38.and the showers and that temperature profile at the higher ground will be

:20:39. > :20:41.wintry. If you are off to the higher ground, air that in mind. Sunny

:20:42. > :20:46.spells and showers across the rest of Scotland, northern England and

:20:47. > :20:49.Northern Ireland. Some rumbling in on the north-westerly breeze, down

:20:50. > :20:52.into the north-west Midlands, flirting with the west Wales and

:20:53. > :20:56.into the south-west of England as well. Generally speaking of the day

:20:57. > :21:00.really gets going, the southern half of Britain, few showers to report

:21:01. > :21:05.come the afternoon. As I say, some sunny spells but variable amounts of

:21:06. > :21:08.cloud. Further north, this is where you get a better chance of a

:21:09. > :21:12.peppering of showers. But you see on the bigger picture there is nothing

:21:13. > :21:15.to organised about them. Some of them will stay dry, and with the

:21:16. > :21:19.temperature pretty much where you have been of late. As the showers

:21:20. > :21:23.fade, such as they are, in the first part of the night, the skies will

:21:24. > :21:27.clear and it will turn out to be quite chilly if you are stepping out

:21:28. > :21:30.this evening. Later in the night we will cloud things up in Northern

:21:31. > :21:34.Ireland, parts of Scotland, as we bring a weather system in. This is

:21:35. > :21:38.the rain that was in those headlines, and a word to the wise,

:21:39. > :21:41.not quite sure how far north or south this goes. Generally speaking,

:21:42. > :21:45.if you are in this central swathe of the British Isles you will get to

:21:46. > :21:49.see some rain. Some of you will welcome mat for your gardens and

:21:50. > :21:53.fields, but it is not a write off, is today, by any means at all. You

:21:54. > :21:56.will notice the rain will move on through. It is never an issue for

:21:57. > :22:00.the northern parts of Scotland. It will cloud up a while, a few spots

:22:01. > :22:05.and then it will move on. The central portion sees the bulk of it.

:22:06. > :22:08.On Monday, chilly fare because we have northerly and north-westerly

:22:09. > :22:12.winds again putting a real dent in the feel of the day. A peppering of

:22:13. > :22:17.showers of the east coast, quite a bit of dry weather. Some chilly

:22:18. > :22:19.nights to come next week. Thank you. We will see you again in half an

:22:20. > :22:20.hour. Would you be willing to give extra

:22:21. > :22:23.money to your child's school to pay for a trip to the museum

:22:24. > :22:26.or activities linked Well, a survey from the NASUWT

:22:27. > :22:29.teachers' union suggests almost a fifth of parents are being asked

:22:30. > :22:33.to do just that, amid growing financial pressures

:22:34. > :22:35.on the education system. The Government, however,

:22:36. > :22:37.says funding is at a record high. Let's discuss this

:22:38. > :22:39.with Dr Patrick Roach, who is deputy general

:22:40. > :22:49.secretary of the NASUWT. Good morning to you. Good morning. I

:22:50. > :22:53.suppose most parents would kind of expect they have to pay for school

:22:54. > :22:57.trips. We have always done that, haven't we? But it is the financial

:22:58. > :23:01.contributions being put on top of that which you are concerned about,

:23:02. > :23:05.is it? I think we are concerned about the overall cost of education,

:23:06. > :23:09.whether it is school trips, the rising cost of school uniforms, many

:23:10. > :23:12.of these special offers which supermarkets are offering simply not

:23:13. > :23:15.available to them if they want to get their child into a good or

:23:16. > :23:20.outstanding school. But of course, also, the new development which is

:23:21. > :23:24.so-called voluntary contributions which parents are being asked to

:23:25. > :23:30.give. Normally around ?100 or so a year, but in the case of one in 20

:23:31. > :23:34.parents, some ?400 or more a year. We think that is prohibitive. We

:23:35. > :23:38.think that is about social selection of pupils, and we think it is

:23:39. > :23:43.completely unnecessary. If parents can't give money, if they can't

:23:44. > :23:47.afford to contribute, what happens? Well, I mean, we are getting stories

:23:48. > :23:52.from parents themselves who are saying to us, when I turned up to a

:23:53. > :23:56.parent evening, wanting to get my child into a secondary school, and I

:23:57. > :24:00.was told these other costs you can expect to meet during the course of

:24:01. > :24:04.the year. If you can't afford that, or if you don't want to prioritise

:24:05. > :24:08.that, then maybe this isn't the kind of school for your child. So what we

:24:09. > :24:13.are seeing is social selection of pupils on the basis of parents'

:24:14. > :24:17.ability to pay. We don't think that is right. But we have been asked as

:24:18. > :24:20.parents to put a voluntary contribution towards our school, and

:24:21. > :24:23.I accept and understand that some parents cannot. We have a good

:24:24. > :24:27.school and we want to keep that school at the same level, and so I

:24:28. > :24:31.am prepared, because I can afford a bit more, to put my hand in my

:24:32. > :24:34.pocket and give a contribution. Shouldn't it be a voluntary thing

:24:35. > :24:38.for parents, with no pressure on parents who can't afford it? Well,

:24:39. > :24:42.if contributions are genuinely voluntary then we don't have an

:24:43. > :24:46.issue with that at what we are seeing in schools are saying that we

:24:47. > :24:49.need parents to make voluntary contributions in order to not only

:24:50. > :24:56.enhance provision at the school... So you will get a frown at the

:24:57. > :24:59.school gate if you don't? Yes, but also to maintain provision. And for

:25:00. > :25:05.many parents that is simply not possible. Some 25% of parents are

:25:06. > :25:09.saying they can't afford to make those contributions, and as a result

:25:10. > :25:14.of that, their children are not able to participate in creative subjects,

:25:15. > :25:18.in part, in school trips and so on and so forth. We don't think that is

:25:19. > :25:21.right. Education is the second biggest public server spending for

:25:22. > :25:28.the government after health. It is huge sums of money being put into

:25:29. > :25:32.education. Not enough. Not enough, you might say not enough. What can

:25:33. > :25:36.schools do to be more creative with the money they are getting? It is a

:25:37. > :25:40.really important point. There is ?2.1 billion sitting unspent in

:25:41. > :25:44.school balances so at the same time that parents are being asked to

:25:45. > :25:47.contribute more, school balances are rising, unspent balances. We think

:25:48. > :25:54.the government needs to do something about that. There is ?1.5 billion of

:25:55. > :25:57.unnecessary queue and in the system. In other words, schools buying IT

:25:58. > :26:05.equipment, purchasing goods and other services at a level which is

:26:06. > :26:10.frankly an economic. -- uneconomic. We think schools need to be

:26:11. > :26:12.procuring best value for money in their purchasing decisions, before

:26:13. > :26:17.turning to parents to contribute more. At the Prime Minister is very

:26:18. > :26:20.hot on the just about managing parents. You are probably opposed to

:26:21. > :26:24.the grammar school thing which is coming in, but she has said that she

:26:25. > :26:28.wants to create a system so that ordinary working families can get

:26:29. > :26:33.their children into these grammar school streams. And the prime

:26:34. > :26:37.minister is saying she is concerned about those parents which are just

:26:38. > :26:41.about managing. We agree that she should be concerned about them. We

:26:42. > :26:43.think that grammar schools are a distraction from that because

:26:44. > :26:46.actually for the overwhelming majority of parents and pupils

:26:47. > :26:50.grammar schools will not be the option. It will be the generality of

:26:51. > :26:54.schools. And the government needs to ensure that the generality of

:26:55. > :26:58.schools do the right thing, rather than doing their own thing. That is

:26:59. > :27:02.the key issue government needs to be focusing on, not the distraction of

:27:03. > :27:07.grammar schools. Thank you for coming in to talk to us. It is a

:27:08. > :27:10.subject which lots of you talk to us about, school funding and being

:27:11. > :27:17.asked to pay extra for your child's school. We spoke to Phil a short

:27:18. > :27:17.time ago, and he said it is getting colder.

:27:18. > :27:20.If you have been out walking in the last few days,

:27:21. > :27:23.you might have been lucky enough to come across a bluebell wood.

:27:24. > :27:26.But this spring, it seems those gorgeous blue-violet carpets have

:27:27. > :27:28.appeared later than in previous years.

:27:29. > :27:38.Catriona Renton is in Hertfordshire for us this morning to find out why.

:27:39. > :27:47.Lucky you. Look at that. So they are out early there. It is absolutely

:27:48. > :27:52.beautiful, isn't it? It is like being in an enchanted forest. We are

:27:53. > :27:56.in Langley would in Heartwood forest and we are just outside St Albans,

:27:57. > :27:59.and you can see these beautiful bluebells, with the fairies

:28:00. > :28:07.underneath them. They are living amongst them. -- Langley Wood. I am

:28:08. > :28:12.joined by a representative from the Woodland Trust. These are of course

:28:13. > :28:16.the ones that are native to the UK. They are appearing later this year

:28:17. > :28:21.than normal. This year we have waited a bit longer for our

:28:22. > :28:24.bluebells than previous years. Last you a slightly milder and warmer

:28:25. > :28:29.than this year. So although we have waited a bit longer, they will be

:28:30. > :28:32.equally as good this year. Has taken hundreds of years to cultivate a

:28:33. > :28:36.carpet like this. Callous about where they are growing in what you

:28:37. > :28:41.want the public to do with the big blue belt watch. Half the world's

:28:42. > :28:45.population of native bluebells are in the UK, and they are our most

:28:46. > :28:48.irreplaceable habitat, and we want members of the public to tell us

:28:49. > :28:55.where they are and whether they are non-native or native, in our big

:28:56. > :28:59.bluebell watch campaign. And this is something that families have come

:29:00. > :29:02.out to have a look at them. Tell us about the flowers and how beautiful

:29:03. > :29:06.they are, and what makes them special and distinctive. So what

:29:07. > :29:10.makes them special is they are very valuable to us, and very delicate.

:29:11. > :29:14.So we need to protect them and the info we get from members of the

:29:15. > :29:17.public while they are enjoying them will help us to safeguard their

:29:18. > :29:21.future. If you want to tell the difference, what you are looking for

:29:22. > :29:28.is natives drooped over and have a wonderful said. Whereas non- natives

:29:29. > :29:35.do not, and they don't have a scent. -- wonderful scent. We must be very

:29:36. > :29:39.quiet and very careful because there are a whole load of fairies living

:29:40. > :29:46.underneath these bluebells. How gorgeous, to get some fresh air

:29:47. > :29:51.today. They will have to plant them rapidly, because Philips says it

:29:52. > :29:52.will get cold again. So those top performers, those pumpkins, keep

:29:53. > :29:55.them indoors. Hello, this is Breakfast

:29:56. > :30:17.with Christian Fraser and Sally Coming up before 8:00,

:30:21. > :30:23.morning's main news. North Korea has warned it's

:30:24. > :30:26.prepared to respond in kind It comes amid growing tensions

:30:27. > :30:30.between Pyongyang and the US. In the last few hours,

:30:48. > :30:51.to death on a tram in Jerusalem has been named as Hannah Bladon

:30:52. > :30:54.from Burton-on-Trent. The 20-year-old was studying

:30:55. > :30:56.in the city as part of an exchange programme

:30:57. > :30:59.with The University of Birmingham. A Palestinian man -

:31:00. > :31:02.thought to have a history of mental illness - has been

:31:07. > :31:09.which they think might be linked They're trying to find out

:31:10. > :31:13.if the deaths were caused by the strength and content

:31:17. > :31:19.in order to better reflect From December, learner drivers

:31:20. > :31:23.will no longer have to tackle some traditional manoeuvres,

:31:24. > :31:25.but will instead be expected to demonstrate new skills -

:31:26. > :31:31.such as using a sat nav safely. The Sun columnist, Kelvin MacKenzie,

:31:32. > :31:34.has been suspended over an article in which he mocked the people

:32:07. > :32:08.contribution to their child's school, according to a survey

:32:09. > :32:12.It comes as school leaders and teachers have voiced concerns

:32:13. > :32:14.about growing funding pressures in England's state schools.

:32:15. > :32:17.The government says school spending is at a record high.

:32:18. > :32:19.Chewing gum manufacturers are being urged to contribute

:32:32. > :32:35.Competitors in England who take part in weekend fun runs will no longer

:32:36. > :32:37.be charged, under new rules proposed by the government.

:32:38. > :32:41.The changes would make it illegal for councils to charge Parkrun,

:32:42. > :32:52.whose events aim to encourage people to exercise.

:32:53. > :33:00.Surely that's always a good thing. That is the whole ethos of the run.

:33:01. > :33:04.That it's free. People can go on a Saturday morning at nine o'clock.

:33:05. > :33:11.Then councils tried to start charging. There was a bit of a

:33:12. > :33:16.stand-off in Bristol but it is still free, so it should be. Brighton

:33:17. > :33:21.story must give hope to all football fans. Even if your club sells its

:33:22. > :33:27.grounds to a property developer, there seems no hope, totally spare,

:33:28. > :33:33.move on 20 years, one day it could finally make it back into the

:33:34. > :33:35.Premier League or the big-time. Many, many seagulls will be happy,

:33:36. > :33:37.flying high today. It has the makings of a modern

:33:38. > :33:40.football fairytale. Brighton had to sell their stadium

:33:41. > :33:43.to pay back debts in the 1990s But more than 30 years

:33:44. > :33:48.after they were last in the top division, the Seagulls are now just

:33:49. > :33:51.one win away from promotion Let's speak to former Brighton

:33:52. > :33:55.player and commentator Adam Virgo. Morning Adam, the last time,

:33:56. > :33:58.Brighton were in the big time, you'd just been born,

:33:59. > :34:14.so you've never known a feeling I know. No, it's an absolutely

:34:15. > :34:19.phenomenal achievement from the football club to be back in the

:34:20. > :34:23.Premier League, one win away. As you were just mentioning, the amount of

:34:24. > :34:28.trauma that Brighton fans have been through over the last 30 years, I

:34:29. > :34:33.think that the older generation if I can kindly say, I think they will be

:34:34. > :34:36.absolutely delighted that they can finally watched Manchester United

:34:37. > :34:41.and Chelsea come down rather than going to lots of places up north.

:34:42. > :34:45.Listen, it is a fantastic achievement for the club. They are

:34:46. > :34:47.almost there and I'm sure every single family will enjoy.

:34:48. > :34:52.given that 20 years ago,the club sold its ground to property

:34:53. > :34:55.developers and were one goal away from dropping out of league

:34:56. > :35:05.I think it really revitalised the city. People will come down from all

:35:06. > :35:09.over the country because Brighton is a cosmopolitan place, a great place

:35:10. > :35:14.to visit. It's easy to get to buy a car and everyone can jump on the

:35:15. > :35:19.train. People want to come and see the stadium and see how far Brighton

:35:20. > :35:25.have come from the good old days to a real state-of-the-art stadium.

:35:26. > :35:28.I've worked with a lot of commentators who commentate on

:35:29. > :35:31.Premier League games and they have set themselves that Brighton will be

:35:32. > :35:34.a great acquisition to the Premier League. You have Southampton down

:35:35. > :35:40.the road which would be a good derby game and all the London sites.

:35:41. > :35:44.Although city, it will be a real buzz. We had a couple of World Cup

:35:45. > :35:49.games here and it really brought a great atmosphere. You just feel it

:35:50. > :35:54.will get right in on the map and not only the city but the club will get

:35:55. > :35:56.the credit they deserve, I think. Just looking at the goals from last

:35:57. > :35:58.night. Done it without spending huge

:35:59. > :36:01.amounts and in Antony Knockeart, have nurtured the

:36:02. > :36:17.championship's best player. Yeah. I think if you look at the

:36:18. > :36:21.budget at Newcastle have had, Aston Villa have had over ?70 million to

:36:22. > :36:27.spend and it happened last year to a certain extent. Burnley had 19

:36:28. > :36:31.million to spend on Andre Gray. Brighton have never had that kind of

:36:32. > :36:35.money. Tony Bloom has had to dig deep into his own pockets to pay for

:36:36. > :36:43.the stadium and training ground. These acquisitions have made them

:36:44. > :36:49.get to where they are now. He is now worth three or four times to what he

:36:50. > :36:54.was, Antony Knockeart. These are all signings that have made a massive,

:36:55. > :36:57.massive difference and they haven't broken the bank to get there because

:36:58. > :37:00.if they hadn't done that and Brighton not be promoted, you may be

:37:01. > :37:05.having a different conversation but now they can enjoy the Premier

:37:06. > :37:08.League money and if it does happen next season that they have

:37:09. > :37:11.relegated, they still have the parachute papers. That's where

:37:12. > :37:19.bullet -- Burnley have really stabilised. A fantastic story. All

:37:20. > :37:24.the better because you haven't spent a fortune. Enjoy the party on Monday

:37:25. > :37:27.well, presumably, if you eventually get there.

:37:28. > :37:28.Second-placed Newcastle were denied a victory,

:37:29. > :37:32.They went ahead when Jamaal Lascelles header was deemed to have

:37:33. > :37:37.And they held on to that lead, until the fifth minute of injury

:37:38. > :37:43.time when Chris Wood snatched an equaliser.

:37:44. > :37:46.1-1 it finished in front of more than 52,000 at St James Park,

:37:47. > :37:55.With Premier League leaders Chelsea, not playing until tomorrow,

:37:56. > :37:58.Tottenham have the opportunity, to narrow the gap at the top,

:37:59. > :38:03.With manager, Mauricio Pochettino, not letting his players think

:38:04. > :38:08.I think it's important to try to be ready Saturday.

:38:09. > :38:11.Try to give our best and try to win and then,

:38:12. > :38:13.and then happen what happen in different games.

:38:14. > :38:30.It is true that can provide us the opportunity to close the gap.

:38:31. > :38:33.There are six other games in the Premier League today,

:38:34. > :38:35.Crystal Palace host Leicester with Burnley off to Everton.

:38:36. > :38:39.Stoke face Hull, and Sunderland , ten points from safety at the bottom

:38:40. > :38:44.Watford play Swansea and the tea-time match

:38:45. > :38:55.is between Southampton and Manchester City.

:38:56. > :38:58.There was one game in the Scottish Premiership last night.

:38:59. > :38:59.It finished goalless between Kilmarnock and Hearts.

:39:00. > :39:02.Fifth placed Hearts marginally had more of the game

:39:03. > :39:08.at Rugby Park, although Kris Boyd failed to make the most of this

:39:09. > :39:13.They're now six Points from the danger zone.

:39:14. > :39:15.Katie Archibald, has won Great Britain's first gold,

:39:16. > :39:17.at the World Track Cycling Championships, in Hong Kong,

:39:18. > :39:21.It's decided by the number of points you score,

:39:22. > :39:24.The Olympic gold-medallist, was second, going into the final

:39:25. > :39:28.event, which was the points race, and did enough to beat Amy Cure

:39:29. > :39:32.It's Archibald's second world title, and her first individual gold -

:39:33. > :39:35.she was part of the victorious team pursuit squad three years

:39:36. > :39:42.But yeah, feel really privileged to pull it

:39:43. > :39:44.That was an unbelievably grippy race.

:39:45. > :39:48.I really thought I'd lost it in that middle point of just chase and chase

:39:49. > :39:50.and being attacked, chase and being attacked.

:39:51. > :39:55.I just got back on in the end and pulled it out of the bag.

:39:56. > :39:58.Castleford stay top of Super League, after a convincing 42-24 victory,

:39:59. > :40:02.The Tigers did the damage in the first half,

:40:05. > :40:08.They remain a couple of points ahead of Salford who beat Leigh,

:40:09. > :40:20.Elsewhere, Wigan claimed a thrilling derby win over St Helens,

:40:46. > :40:56.In the Pro12, it was pretty much, one-way traffic as Glasgow,

:44:01. > :44:04.days now. If you are stepping out this evening, driver the most part.

:44:05. > :44:08.Late in Northern Ireland, be aware you will need something more than

:44:09. > :44:13.something strappy because it will turn wet to finish off the night.

:44:14. > :44:17.Then we will turn this rain right through the heart of the British

:44:45. > :44:49.it turned decidedly chilly. Especially by night. If you are

:44:50. > :44:53.tempted into their garden centres this weekend, we haven't seen the

:44:54. > :44:59.end of frost by any means and that starts as early as Monday night.

:45:00. > :45:00.It's going to get a bit windy as well, it looks like. Still, thank

:45:01. > :45:02.you. To be a clown, you have

:45:03. > :45:05.to be a jolly soul. In fact, you could say

:45:06. > :45:10.an all-round good egg. Maybe that is why, for more than 70

:45:11. > :45:13.years, the industry body Clowns International has been

:45:14. > :45:16.painting the faces of its members Each one is a record

:45:17. > :45:24.of a clown's unique identity. And now, a clown egg

:45:25. > :45:31.register is being published Our reporter Andrew Plant has

:45:32. > :46:00.been finding out more. 250 unique clown faces, painted and

:46:01. > :46:05.preserved in this Somerset Museum, ensuring no clown is ever copied. Is

:46:06. > :46:13.a register... Now carefully looked after by curator Matthew Faint. So

:46:14. > :46:19.once you have had your face established you have your egg made.

:46:20. > :46:27.And you are a peer? I am, appear. Joined on this clown parade by some

:46:28. > :46:34.old friends like Gingernut and Kooky. Clow crowds have loved clowns

:46:35. > :46:38.for hundreds of years. A circus without them, unimaginable. They are

:46:39. > :46:43.still a circus tent staple but horror fiction and the recent craze

:46:44. > :46:46.of sinister clown sightings, alongside stiff competition from

:46:47. > :46:51.other entertainment, means earning a living as a clown is no joke. At one

:46:52. > :47:01.time the only person doing parties were clowns, and you don't get much

:47:02. > :47:06.with the character from Frozen, because they don't do the things

:47:07. > :47:10.that make a party. Could clown egg register reinvent the ancient art, a

:47:11. > :47:15.new record of every entertainer? I think there is a great deal of fun

:47:16. > :47:19.and the costumes and the make-up. I think that it is alive, and I think

:47:20. > :47:22.that there is a time and place. It is always good to smell the theatre

:47:23. > :47:29.chairs the smoke and anticipate them coming on stage. If you're happy and

:47:30. > :47:33.you know it, clap your hands. Many of the clowns in this parade started

:47:34. > :47:38.in the 60s and 70s. The plate spinning, juggling and magic tricks

:47:39. > :47:44.come as standard, alongside the squirting flowers and honking noses.

:47:45. > :47:47.Their circus skills, though, still loved, it seems, by a new

:47:48. > :47:51.generation, despite the easy entertainment they have at their

:47:52. > :47:56.fingertips. People say they are creepy, but they are not. They are

:47:57. > :48:00.really funny. I have been learning how to do new tricks. How is it

:48:01. > :48:06.going? Pretty well, I will get there. Clowns are the funniest thing

:48:07. > :48:12.I have seen in my life. The funniest thing you have seen in your life?

:48:13. > :48:18.Yes. Note! Yes! Would you become a clown when you are older? Yes. As

:48:19. > :48:24.these professionals near retirement, a new generation of clown faces is

:48:25. > :48:25.needed. Many who decide to make a name for themselves, though, will

:48:26. > :48:36.have some big shoes to fill. He was just clowning around with

:48:37. > :48:40.that line. I took my son to the tower Circus and he was a bit

:48:41. > :48:46.standoffish with the clown. He wasn't sure. A little bit scary? A

:48:47. > :48:47.little bit scary, he liked the jokes though.

:48:48. > :48:51.In a few moments here on Breakfast, we will have the morning's news.

:48:52. > :48:53.But first, it is time for The Travel Show.

:48:54. > :48:56.Coming up on this week's Travel Show: We continue our

:48:57. > :49:26...as I head to the world's first ever elephant hospital.

:49:27. > :49:37.It's mountainous landscape and lush jungles are an ideal environment

:49:38. > :49:41.The animal is seen as the symbol of Thailand.

:49:42. > :49:44.Around 3000 live in these wild forests.

:49:45. > :49:47.The country also has a captive elephant population of almost 4,000.

:49:48. > :49:51.Controversially, some of them work in the tourist industry.

:49:52. > :49:55.Caring for all of these elephants is a huge job,

:49:56. > :50:00.particularly if the animal needs specialist medical attention.

:50:01. > :50:03.I've come to Lampang to meet some of the vets who are attempting

:50:04. > :50:12.When it was opened, in 1993, this was the world's

:50:13. > :50:15.And since then, they've treated over 4,000 elephants.

:50:16. > :50:25.The hospital aims to provide care for any sick or injured

:50:26. > :50:34.We have all kinds of illnesses, sicknesses,

:50:35. > :50:48.Some have diarrhoea, constipation, cataracts.

:50:49. > :50:50.Some have serious, like, cancer, and tumours.

:50:51. > :50:53.The most difficult case, the victims of landmines.

:50:54. > :51:01.Dr Kay takes me to meet some of her patients

:51:02. > :51:11.So in the morning, you have to go and check up

:51:12. > :51:37.And after that, the owner bring Motala here, and donate here.

:51:38. > :51:42.So she's one of the permanent residents?

:51:43. > :51:44.The hospital has five permanent residents

:51:45. > :51:51.The rest of the patients have been brought here by their owners

:51:52. > :51:53.for shorter term medical treatment and operations.

:51:54. > :51:57.For Motala, each day starts with her prosthetic leg

:51:58. > :52:07.being fitted, so she can walk out for breakfast.

:52:08. > :52:14.It weighs a good, at least, 15 kilograms.

:52:15. > :52:23.And these are all formed specifically for the elephants

:52:24. > :52:27.themselves, so they're all different.

:52:28. > :52:30.They're just putting some talcum powder to help with the dryness,

:52:31. > :52:44.A layer of talcum powder on the inside as well.

:52:45. > :52:47.In the early morning and late afternoon, when the sun isn't too

:52:48. > :52:51.hot, Motala will walk out for a fewer hours.

:52:52. > :52:58.Adult females weigh just under three tonnes on average.

:52:59. > :53:03.So the prosthetic is needed to give vital relief to her other three

:53:04. > :53:07.legs, which are under enormous pressure.

:53:08. > :53:10.How long did it take her to get used to the prosthetic leg?

:53:11. > :53:24.She put quite a lot of weight on that.

:53:25. > :53:27.Checking over the elephants each day is part of the hospital routine.

:53:28. > :53:43.Mosha was also injured by a landmine, and came

:53:44. > :53:48.here when she was just seven months old.

:53:49. > :54:09.Dr Kay has cared for her since the day she arrived.

:54:10. > :54:34.Soraida started the hospital after seeing elephants die

:54:35. > :54:36.because there was nowhere to treat them.

:54:37. > :54:44.If no-one is going to do it, I'm going to do it myself.

:54:45. > :54:46.There should be a place where elephants can be treated,

:54:47. > :54:50.because there's no elephant hospital.

:54:51. > :54:56.The hospital is funded by donations and treatment is provided for free.

:54:57. > :54:58.The procedures are similar to what you'd see in

:54:59. > :55:16.This elephant, Bunce, has a stomach problem.

:55:17. > :55:20.She needs an IV drip to make sure she gets all the vitamins she needs.

:55:21. > :55:23.Dealing with the elephant being so high, they've had to get

:55:24. > :55:30.And the IV drip goes all the way up to the top there.

:55:31. > :55:37.It uses that gravity to push the medicine through the pipes.

:55:38. > :55:41.So one of the only soft spots of the elephant is actually

:55:42. > :55:50.on the ear, or just behind the ear, so the IV drip will go right there.

:55:51. > :55:56.Tourists can come here to see the elephants in their recuperation

:55:57. > :55:59.areas, but there are none of the shows and rides you might

:56:00. > :56:04.find at elephant camps elsewhere in Thailand.

:56:05. > :56:07.Some have called for a ban on using these revered animals

:56:08. > :56:10.in the tourist industry, but Soraida tells me that

:56:11. > :56:16.To ban them, then we have to have the solution,

:56:17. > :56:28.You can't take 4,500 elephants back into the wild.

:56:29. > :56:31.How are we going to keep them in natural surroundings,

:56:32. > :56:34.and in a way to earn some money in order

:56:35. > :56:42.She is calling for a new law to protect Thailand's

:56:43. > :56:46.They use the elephants for riding, under hot sun, on hot country roads,

:56:47. > :56:51.Some camps don't even have shades for the elephants.

:56:52. > :56:56.So I'm asking the government to please set the rules.

:56:57. > :57:00.If they really prefer to have the riding, would it be

:57:01. > :57:08.Do you feed them along the way, when they get hungry?

:57:09. > :57:11.If they stop, they shouldn't be beating them to walk.

:57:12. > :57:17.The focus here is on working with elephant owners

:57:18. > :57:29.in the community, to help any animal that needs medical attention.

:57:30. > :57:33.and I'm fortunate enough to be able to see a newborn.

:57:34. > :57:35.This is definitely something special.

:57:36. > :58:08.These, I recognise, are banana flowers, and Dr Kay tells me

:58:09. > :58:12.that they feed them on banana flowers, because it helps to produce

:58:13. > :58:14.milk, giving her vitamins and minerals.

:58:15. > :58:41.It's humbling to see the connection Dr Kay has with these animals

:58:42. > :58:52.It's amazing to see elephants like these, that would otherwise

:58:53. > :58:54.have died in the wild, actually thrive

:58:55. > :58:59.And spending time with Dr Kay, and Soraida, and learning the ins

:59:00. > :59:02.and outs of what goes on here has been an absolutely amazing

:59:03. > :59:17.experience, that I won't forget any time soon.

:59:18. > :59:21.That's all the time we have for this week, but coming up on next week's

:59:22. > :59:24.Travel Show: Krista heads to the mountains of Palencia

:59:25. > :59:26.in northern Spain for a spot of wolf watching.

:59:31. > :59:36.it's probably not surprisingly don't get it on the very first try.

:59:37. > :59:40.And head to our Facebook page, and you can see a special 360 look

:59:41. > :59:41.around the elephant hospital I visited earlier

:59:54. > :00:06.of the Travel Show team here in Thailand, it's goodbye.

:00:07. > :00:08.Hello, this is Breakfast with Christian Fraser and Sally Nugent.

:00:09. > :00:11.North Korea has said it's prepared to respond in kind to any nuclear

:00:12. > :00:15.Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians have taken part

:00:16. > :00:18.in a huge military parade amid growing speculation

:00:19. > :00:36.that the country is preparing another nuclear test.

:00:37. > :00:38.Good morning. It's Saturday, 15th April.

:00:39. > :00:43.Learner drivers will have to prove they can use

:00:44. > :00:45.a satnav in new changes to the practical test.

:00:46. > :00:48.The Sun columnist Kelvin MacKenzie has been suspended and reported

:00:49. > :00:50.to police over an article he wrote about the Everton

:00:51. > :00:57.Half of the world's bluebells are found here in the UK,

:00:58. > :01:02.but we'll hear why the British bluebell could be under threat.

:01:03. > :01:09.In sport, Brighton take a giant stride towards the Premier League.

:01:10. > :01:11.The Championship leaders win at Wolves, and are now

:01:12. > :01:23.It was definitely a challenge for me.

:01:24. > :01:26.I've been finding out how the Team GB Alpine skiers, are hoping

:01:27. > :01:33.Good morning, not a bad day for most parts of the British Isles.

:01:34. > :01:36.Can we keep it going for the rest of the holiday weekend?

:01:37. > :01:41.I'll have the details for you in a few minutes.

:01:42. > :01:44.Good morning. First, our main story.

:01:45. > :01:47.North Korea has warned that it's prepared to respond in kind

:01:48. > :01:54.It comes amid growing tensions between Pyongyang and the US.

:01:55. > :01:56.Earlier this morning, Kim Jong-un oversaw a massive

:01:57. > :01:59.military parade to celebrate the anniversary of the birth

:02:00. > :02:01.of his grandfather, the country's founder.

:02:02. > :02:04.Our correspondent John Sudworth was invited to witness the event.

:02:05. > :02:06.His movements are being tightly controlled, but earlier he described

:02:07. > :02:21.You can actually feel the ground shake as thousands upon thousands

:02:22. > :02:24.of goose-stepping soldiers, tanks and rockets and other weaponry

:02:25. > :02:28.have marched and rumbled their way through the capital city.

:02:29. > :02:33.This is a display of unity for the young North Korean

:02:34. > :02:36.leader and it is meant, of course, to send a key

:02:37. > :02:40.message on the anniversary of his grandfather's birth

:02:41. > :02:50.that his grip on power is unassailable, but as Donald Trump

:02:51. > :02:52.threatens to thwart his nuclear ambitions, it also sends a message

:02:53. > :02:56.to the outside world that this country's military with its nuclear

:02:57. > :03:02.tests and missile launches is vital for its survival

:03:03. > :03:08.and military analysts will, of course, be pouring over these

:03:09. > :03:11.pictures for evidence of the latest state of technological advancement

:03:12. > :03:14.There is that speculation that it maybe preparing for another

:03:15. > :03:30.At the moment, we have absolutely no contact with the outside world other

:03:31. > :03:33.than this TV line that I'm speaking to you on.

:03:34. > :03:36.All of our mobile phones were taken away from us about five or six hours

:03:37. > :03:39.ago before being allowed here into Kim Il Sung Square.

:03:40. > :03:41.I think it's probably unlikely that we'll see a test today,

:03:42. > :03:44.but Kim Jong-un is making it absolutely clear that he is not

:03:45. > :03:46.prepared to negotiate away his nuclear weapons whilst

:03:47. > :03:49.being threatened and challenged by the United States.

:03:50. > :03:53.And experts believe that with missiles, with weaponry

:03:54. > :03:59.like this, they are just a few small steps away from having a real

:04:00. > :04:04.deliverable nuclear arsenal and of course,

:04:05. > :04:09.once they reach that stage, it's a game changer in terms

:04:10. > :04:17.of the regional security situation and the global international

:04:18. > :04:19.diplomatic calculation about what can be done

:04:20. > :04:22.about North Korea's military ambitions?

:04:23. > :04:30.It changes things for good and the young man sitting up

:04:31. > :04:33.there in those stands has learned those lessons from his grandfather

:04:34. > :04:38.A British student who was stabbed to death on a tram in Jerusalem has

:04:54. > :04:55.deaths in the Barnsley area which they think might be

:04:56. > :04:59.They're trying to find out if the deaths were caused

:05:00. > :05:04.by the strength and content of the drug being used locally.

:05:05. > :05:07.Driving tests are getting an MOT in order to better reflect

:05:08. > :05:11.From December, learner drivers will no longer have to tackle some

:05:12. > :05:14.traditional manoeuvres, but will instead be expected

:05:15. > :05:17.to demonstrate new skills, such as using a Sat Nav safely.

:05:18. > :05:29.Every motorist has been through it, the rite of passage

:05:30. > :05:31.of taking a driving test, but in future learners will be

:05:38. > :05:39.Clearly today's drivers are used to a very

:05:56. > :05:59.Drivers will have to follow satnav directions.

:06:07. > :06:09.level of distraction as well which we know is one of the biggest

:06:10. > :06:13.causes of accidents in the first six months with new drivers.

:06:14. > :06:16.Learners will also be asked to show they can cope with real life

:06:17. > :06:18.scenarios such as parking within a bay.

:06:19. > :06:21.We were often taking people down into housing estates

:06:22. > :06:24.where they would be reversing around a corner and perhaps using up half

:06:25. > :06:27.a test doing some of these set piece manoeuvres.

:06:28. > :06:30.The point is to change all of that, to get people far greater

:06:31. > :06:38.The new tests have been trialled in some areas and will be introduced

:06:39. > :06:40.for everyone by the end of this year.

:06:41. > :06:42.Candidates will be asked to drive independently for longer,

:06:43. > :06:45.but the cost and length of the exam will stay the same

:06:46. > :06:52.as no doubt will the nerves of those going through the process.

:06:53. > :07:00.The Sun columnist, Kelvin MacKenzie, has been suspended after he compared

:07:15. > :07:16.The article was about Everton mid-fielder Ross Barkley

:07:17. > :07:19.who was punched earlier this week in a Liverpool bar.

:07:20. > :07:22.In it, the paper's former editor compared the footballer, whose

:07:34. > :07:43.I think that was totally racist. It offended me.

:07:44. > :07:46.I'm sure it offended Ross Barkley and his family and it offended

:07:47. > :07:50.lots of other people and that's why I reported this to the police.

:07:51. > :07:55.I'm not reporting it to the police as a gimmick.

:07:56. > :07:58.I've reported it to the police because I felt and I do feel

:07:59. > :08:01.that it was a racial attack on an individual.

:08:02. > :08:02.Merseyside Police are now investigating whether the comments

:08:03. > :08:08.In a statement The Sun's publisher, News UK, apologised for the offence

:08:09. > :08:10.caused and said the paper was unaware of Ross

:08:11. > :08:14.Kelvin MacKenzie has also responded saying it was beyond parody

:08:15. > :08:26.Almost a fifth of parents are being asked to make a financial

:08:27. > :08:28.contribution to their child's school, according to a survey

:08:29. > :08:31.It comes as school leaders and teachers have voiced concerns

:08:32. > :08:33.about growing funding pressures in England's state schools.

:08:34. > :08:43.The government says school spending is at a record high.

:08:44. > :08:49.25% of parents are saying they can't afford to make the contributions and

:08:50. > :08:53.as a result of that, their children are unable to participate in

:08:54. > :08:55.creative subjects, in art, in school trips and so on and so forth. We

:08:56. > :09:00.don't think that's right. Britain's creative companies

:09:01. > :09:02.are urging the Government to overhaul its approach

:09:03. > :09:04.to the sector, as ministers draw up They say British creativity

:09:05. > :09:07.is a big export earner and should be taken just

:09:08. > :09:10.as seriously as other industrial The Business Secretary Greg Clark

:09:11. > :09:13.says he wants to build on the sector's strengths

:09:14. > :09:16.and is committed to doing a deal Competitors in England who take

:09:17. > :09:25.part in weekend fun runs will no longer be charged,

:09:26. > :09:28.under new rules proposed The changes would make it illegal

:09:29. > :09:32.for councils to charge Parkrun, whose events aim to encourage

:09:33. > :09:36.people to exercise. NASA scientists have

:09:37. > :09:37.released new global maps of the Earth at night,

:09:38. > :09:41.which they say give us the clearest view yet of the patterns of human

:09:42. > :09:43.settlement across our planet. The maps are created by stitching

:09:44. > :09:47.together thousands of cloud free satellite images,

:09:48. > :09:49.taken over many months. Sarah Corker has been

:09:50. > :09:55.taking a closer look. These images of the world

:09:56. > :10:00.in darkness have been Cameras on board a Nasa satellite

:10:01. > :10:05.are so sensitive they can detect light from just a single fishing

:10:06. > :10:08.boat or isolated street lamp. The satellite data creates beautiful

:10:09. > :10:14.images, but also shows how humans This image shows Europe at night

:10:15. > :10:20.and if you look more closely, you can see the boot-shaped

:10:21. > :10:23.peninsula of Italy and lights coming And if we move over to Africa,

:10:24. > :10:30.this is the River Nile. It clearly shows how people have

:10:31. > :10:37.built their homes along its banks. This is a day-time image

:10:38. > :10:39.of the area, showing green fertile The images have become a useful tool

:10:40. > :10:49.for scientists and researchers. They helped to detect power cuts

:10:50. > :10:51.after Hurricane Matthew struck parts And in Syria, the UN has used

:10:52. > :10:56.the data to monitor the movement While the most recent Mount Etna

:10:57. > :11:04.eruption was also caught Next, Nasa plans to release

:11:05. > :11:10.daily night images. They should help scientists

:11:11. > :11:12.to reduce light pollution, monitor unregulated fishing and even

:11:13. > :11:15.track sea ice movements As North Korea celebrates

:11:16. > :11:40.the anniversary of the birth of its founding President

:11:41. > :11:42.with a parade of its military might, there is growing concern that

:11:43. > :11:44.tensions between the secretive nation and the rest of the world

:11:45. > :11:47.could be nearing breaking point. China has warned that conflict

:11:48. > :11:50."could break out at any moment" and a fleet of US navy ships

:11:51. > :11:53.are en-route to the peninsula. John Everard is the Former British

:11:54. > :11:57.Ambassador to North Korea These are extraordinary times. We

:11:58. > :12:02.have been here before, but how worried are you? I'm concerned. I

:12:03. > :12:06.think most North Korea experts are concerned too. We have been through

:12:07. > :12:10.worse, but the problem today is that everybody is on a hair trigger.

:12:11. > :12:15.Everybody has said that if anybody else moves and they will react. So

:12:16. > :12:20.if anybody does actually do anything then you have a domino-effect and

:12:21. > :12:25.very quickly I think we could be in a violent situation. So far, so

:12:26. > :12:29.good. It is now nearly 3.45pm in Pyongyang and so far nobody has

:12:30. > :12:33.actually triggered that sequence. So let's keep our fingers crossed that

:12:34. > :12:37.it stays that way. You're talking about this potential nuclear test. I

:12:38. > :12:41.was looking the other day at the satellite images. North-east of

:12:42. > :12:44.Pyongyang, a mountain zone that they have been tunnelling in. Tell us

:12:45. > :12:51.about that area and what goes on there? North Korea has a lot of very

:12:52. > :12:58.high mountains. They're good at digging tunnels and they dig their

:12:59. > :13:01.tunnels good and deep. And they have shown they are conducting nuclear

:13:02. > :13:05.tests on five previous occasions. It is easy to see the preparations for

:13:06. > :13:08.a test because you pick up vehicle movements on satellites and there

:13:09. > :13:11.have been a lot of those. The experts are telling us that the test

:13:12. > :13:16.zone is primed and ready for the great leader to press the button at

:13:17. > :13:19.any time. Whether, of course, he will do so, we don't yet know. So it

:13:20. > :13:23.will be a huge explosion underground. The difference, I

:13:24. > :13:26.suppose, over the last few years is they want to attach one of the

:13:27. > :13:29.warheads to a missile that could reach the United States? Well, they

:13:30. > :13:34.have been trying to do that for a long time. They're not far off? They

:13:35. > :13:38.are not far off. Nobody really knows how far off they are. Even if you

:13:39. > :13:41.can get a missile properly targeted on the United States, there are big

:13:42. > :13:45.technical difficulties like stopping it spinning out of control or

:13:46. > :13:48.stopping it burning up on re-entry that we don't think they have

:13:49. > :13:51.mastered, but the situation is bad and if we allow it to continue

:13:52. > :13:57.unchecked they will get to that point.

:13:58. > :14:01.Is it glib or wrong to look at the mental health of the leader because

:14:02. > :14:07.a lot of people point to him and say he is mad? No, he's not mad. This

:14:08. > :14:13.is, Kim Jong-un is neither mentally unstable or a fool. He calculates

:14:14. > :14:18.very carefully. He has shown that he's prepared to take risks rather

:14:19. > :14:21.as certain other world leaders are. That's not insanity, it is simply

:14:22. > :14:26.playing by a different rule book. But he is prepared to press the

:14:27. > :14:31.button? Yes. We firmly believe that. It is not a game this. This is not

:14:32. > :14:36.him sort of sizing up the new president. He is fully prepared to

:14:37. > :14:41.press the button? I can't be sure, can I? But I have no reason to doubt

:14:42. > :14:47.that he is. The North Koreans said they are not only prepared to press

:14:48. > :14:52.the button, but prepared to use neck collar weapons. The big speech today

:14:53. > :14:58.was one of the senior leaders in North Korea saying they would use

:14:59. > :15:03.nuclear war in place of nuclear war is almost a step back. That means

:15:04. > :15:09.they would use their nuclear weapons if somebody else uses their own

:15:10. > :15:13.nuclear weapons first. So they're not threatening a nuclear reprisal

:15:14. > :15:17.for a conventional strike. It is a slight softening of the situation.

:15:18. > :15:20.In light of what you've just told us, it is crucial the United States

:15:21. > :15:24.thinks carefully about its next move, isn't it? Yes. What's

:15:25. > :15:29.interesting is the language that Donald Trump is using. He is talking

:15:30. > :15:34.about this battlegroup going to the Korean peninsula, he calls it an

:15:35. > :15:37.armada and there have been two fairly bold moves, bombing Syria and

:15:38. > :15:42.the mother of all bombs that they dropped in Afghanistan the other

:15:43. > :15:47.day. So he's putting North Korea on notice, but putting chin on notice

:15:48. > :15:53.as well? He's sending signals in all directions as a recent editorial in

:15:54. > :15:57.a China newspaper said the reverberations from the explosion

:15:58. > :16:01.from Afghanistan must have been felt in Pyongyang. He is telling China

:16:02. > :16:04.that the United States is prepared to use armed force where under

:16:05. > :16:09.President Obama he might have hesitated to do so. He's telling

:16:10. > :16:13.North Korea that the leadership bunkers are no longer safe. If the

:16:14. > :16:17.leadership thought it could survive a US conventional strike and live to

:16:18. > :16:21.fire its nuclear missiles in return, it better think again. Dangerous

:16:22. > :16:26.times. How many of these parades did you go to? Several. John, it is very

:16:27. > :16:31.good to see you. Thank you for coming in today.

:16:32. > :16:39.Here's Philip with a look at this morning's weather.

:16:40. > :16:46.There is something to lift your spirits. Is this like that

:16:47. > :16:51.everywhere? Sadly not. There are many showers to be had and notice

:16:52. > :16:55.how the isobars tend to squeeze up as you drift up into the northern

:16:56. > :16:59.half of Scotland. The wind, it is a north-westerly wind, will be present

:17:00. > :17:02.across the northern half of Britain. It starts off showery and that's the

:17:03. > :17:05.way it will stay. The wind strong in the Scottish mountains. The

:17:06. > :17:10.wind-chill factor high and there will be snow showers as well. At the

:17:11. > :17:15.lower levels it is sunny spells and showers, not only for Northern

:17:16. > :17:21.Ireland and Scotland the odd one to start off the day in the south-west

:17:22. > :17:24.as well. Southern half of Britain a lot of dry weather. I think the

:17:25. > :17:28.cloud will develop as the day goes on. If you get that combination of

:17:29. > :17:32.cloud and the breeze as well, it will feel chilly. But it will feel

:17:33. > :17:35.more spring like if you can avoid some of the cloud and get sunshine

:17:36. > :17:39.and step out of the breeze, 15 Celsius could be yours. These

:17:40. > :17:43.temperatures pretty much where we have been for the past day or two.

:17:44. > :17:48.It is that sort of time of year, once the skies clear overnight. The

:17:49. > :17:51.temperatures will dribble away, but they won't clear, they will cloud.

:17:52. > :17:54.And we will see rain getting into Northern Ireland to finish off the

:17:55. > :17:59.night. Further east, we will keep it dry. There is a little bit of doubt

:18:00. > :18:02.about the peripheries of this wet weather spell as it drifts through

:18:03. > :18:06.the British Isles. I think it will be in the central belt for the first

:18:07. > :18:09.part of Easter day. I think it may dip into the south-eastern quarter.

:18:10. > :18:14.Some of the rain very welcome. Maybe the timing is not going to suit your

:18:15. > :18:17.purpose, but some of the fields and gardens are looking dry across parts

:18:18. > :18:19.of southern and eastern parts of the British Isles. Again the

:18:20. > :18:23.temperatures close to where we've been. The north of Scotland stays

:18:24. > :18:28.with a mixture of sunny spells and showers and chilly through the day.

:18:29. > :18:32.Here is Monday. Again, the speckling of showers, predominantly through

:18:33. > :18:36.central and eastern parts driven along by the breeze. On the back of

:18:37. > :18:41.Monday we go into really cold nights. If the garden centres tempt

:18:42. > :18:45.you, be prepared to protect the plants from frost in the forthcoming

:18:46. > :18:50.week. Phil, thank you very much indeed.

:18:51. > :18:53.If you've been out walking in the last few days,

:18:54. > :18:56.you might have been lucky enough to come across a bluebell wood.

:18:57. > :18:57.But this spring, it seems those gorgeous blue-violet

:18:58. > :19:00.carpets have appeared later than in previous years.

:19:01. > :19:05.Catriona Renton is in Hertfordshire for us this morning to find out why.

:19:06. > :19:12.Gosh, it's beautiful. Isn't it just gorgeous? The birds

:19:13. > :19:17.are singing. The sun is shining and we are amongst this carpet of

:19:18. > :19:25.magical looking bluebells. It is like being in the enchanted forest

:19:26. > :19:31.here in landly Wood. I'm joined by Steve Marsh who can tell us about

:19:32. > :19:38.the bluebells. Tell us about the bluebells we're looking at today.

:19:39. > :19:42.They're centuries old. They are an indicator of ancient woodland. At

:19:43. > :19:46.least 400 years old, but thought to go back to the last ice age. Let's

:19:47. > :19:51.talk about the actual specifics here. Christian was saying he has

:19:52. > :19:55.got bluebells in his garden and he is not sure which type they are.

:19:56. > :20:00.These are the native ones which are native to the UK. We have more than

:20:01. > :20:05.half of these in the bluebell population. These are the native

:20:06. > :20:12.bluebells. We want people in the UK going on the Woodland Trust website

:20:13. > :20:18.and tell us where bluebells are and whether they are native or non

:20:19. > :20:21.native. Native are distinguishable because they droop overment the non

:20:22. > :20:25.native is upright and stiff. They have a white pollen that you can see

:20:26. > :20:30.inside and the non natives have a blue poll nl. They have a scent, the

:20:31. > :20:34.non natives don't have a scent and they are more delicate, long

:20:35. > :20:38.conicaled flower that curls back on itself. We're not in amongst the

:20:39. > :20:42.carpet, we are on the edge here because they are so fragile, aren't

:20:43. > :20:46.they? Bluebells are under threat from lots of different things,

:20:47. > :20:52.habitat loss, climate change, but trampling because everybody loves to

:20:53. > :20:57.get in amongst the bluebells but they are delicate and they can be

:20:58. > :21:01.trampled. Looking at this sea, it is stunning. How many of these are

:21:02. > :21:08.there around the UK? Where can people go and have a look? Anyone

:21:09. > :21:13.can find their nearest bluebell site by going on the website. You want

:21:14. > :21:17.people to actively get out and have a look and tell you where they are

:21:18. > :21:23.and how many they have seen and what it looks like? It is one of spring's

:21:24. > :21:27.most wonderful spectacles. We want people to get out and enjoy the

:21:28. > :21:30.bluebells because sther not around for long. Seeing on Twitter the

:21:31. > :21:34.number of people getting in touch, we can see that you're enjoying

:21:35. > :21:37.seeing these too. There is another population underneath here that we

:21:38. > :21:43.all know from folklore, the fairies are living here with us as well. I

:21:44. > :21:48.think that's a fairy glen. Don't you think? It looks like a fairy glen.

:21:49. > :21:55.Katrina, it is beautiful. I have got to go home and check my bluebells to

:21:56. > :21:58.see if they are the English variety. Clare sent this one of the woodland

:21:59. > :22:03.near her home. She says it smells amazing at the moment. Here is Poppy

:22:04. > :22:12.enjoying the, oh, look at Poppy, yes. Enjoying the bluebells. The

:22:13. > :22:16.next one is from Paul who sent us this from Shropshire. There is one

:22:17. > :22:23.in Dartmouth on the hill overlooking the harbour and it is called

:22:24. > :22:27.Bluebell Wood and it is spectacular. If there you're there have a look at

:22:28. > :22:36.Bluebell Wood. Time now for a look

:22:37. > :22:54.at the newspapers. The papers are agreeing, we are

:22:55. > :22:58.starting with the Daily Mirror, they are saying we are on the brink of

:22:59. > :23:02.nuclear war. The Times has a similar story saying that President Trump

:23:03. > :23:07.has been given a number of options which he is looking at the moment.

:23:08. > :23:11.The Guardian, the same story. They are saying North Korea warning from

:23:12. > :23:14.China. The Daily Mail has a story we have been talking about today, the

:23:15. > :23:22.MOT for the driving test. You have got to be able to use a satnav and

:23:23. > :23:28.turn on the back heater. Telegraph, the same story. David, what have you

:23:29. > :23:34.got for us? Pages and pages about how near the world may or may not be

:23:35. > :23:39.to another horrendous war. Unsurprisingly therefore, there is

:23:40. > :23:45.not much humour about, but Giles Corran in the Times does his best.

:23:46. > :23:52.He tells us it is World War three and I'm joining Dad's Army. This is

:23:53. > :23:55.a perfect storm, he says, genuine nutters are simultaneously ensconced

:23:56. > :23:58.as leaders of the major powers for the first time since World War II

:23:59. > :24:02.and then he tells us let's look at the bright side. They're saying it

:24:03. > :24:09.will be over by Christmas. We can join the home guard, that looks like

:24:10. > :24:12.such fun, Boris might get a crack at being actual Churchill which is what

:24:13. > :24:16.he has been after all along really and everyone already has a keep calm

:24:17. > :24:20.and carry on poster and it goes on and onment the football season will

:24:21. > :24:36.be abandoned so Chelsea won't get to be champions. Well, there you have

:24:37. > :24:43.it. It is a horrendous... The part he would like is Frazer's part. The

:24:44. > :24:48.serious nature is so horrendous and you had your very brave

:24:49. > :24:52.correspondent I saw earlier. John Sudworth standing... I suspect there

:24:53. > :24:55.was only one tape there. He had a short amount of time. He could do it

:24:56. > :25:02.once. He wasn't allowed a mobile phone. There was a Government

:25:03. > :25:06.minuter with him. They're celebrating the 105th birthday of

:25:07. > :25:12.one of the now leaders... Who was always the president. The man who is

:25:13. > :25:18.in charge is the junior. It is, you know, really serious time. We have

:25:19. > :25:23.had the you suspect we have had a bit of posturing and certain trying

:25:24. > :25:32.out a few things and sending a few messages to use the colloquial

:25:33. > :25:39.expression, but that can't go on for much longer. One of the horrible

:25:40. > :25:47.things that's going on at the moment with all this in North Korea, around

:25:48. > :25:51.the world the way that Christians, the number of Christians, who have

:25:52. > :25:57.been killed, or have been tortured for their faiths is going up and up

:25:58. > :26:01.but thank goodness this happening closer to home, but you know, here

:26:02. > :26:06.we have in this story in the Daily Mail Jesus is only the fourth thing

:26:07. > :26:11.we think of at Easter. Easter is the most important date in the Christian

:26:12. > :26:16.calendar and it is easy to forget that this act in a country like

:26:17. > :26:27.ours, that this sort of thing is going on with increasing regularity.

:26:28. > :26:32.Most likely the copse in Egypt who can't go to their church without

:26:33. > :26:37.being bombed. You see what happened at Easter and what really happened

:26:38. > :26:40.at Easter and you wonder how anybody justifies the cruelty and depravity

:26:41. > :26:46.of what is going on. I saw Prince Charles the other day was talking

:26:47. > :26:55.about, you know, in this time should realise how awful these things are.

:26:56. > :27:00.Do you watch University Challenge? When I'm forced to. I have noticed

:27:01. > :27:05.in fairness that this seems to ring true to me, there is a lot of men on

:27:06. > :27:10.the set. Not only do you suspect there are a lot of men, the teams

:27:11. > :27:18.are not chosen, we're told by the college or university authorities,

:27:19. > :27:23.but by the students themselves, but the last series an all male final

:27:24. > :27:26.with one in five female contestants throughout the whole 2017

:27:27. > :27:31.competition. So it is self selection? It appears to be that. I

:27:32. > :27:35.happen to be interested. You have got the teachers conferences going

:27:36. > :27:40.on this Easter... Former education correspondent. As I was. I used to

:27:41. > :27:45.dread those teacher conferences. They would ruin your Easter. They

:27:46. > :27:51.certainly did, but you do think, I was always brought up that girls,

:27:52. > :27:57.the achievement of girls in schools was at the top level, at the top

:27:58. > :28:03.level, was probably more consistent than the boys and am I seriously

:28:04. > :28:08.being told by Jeremy Paxman that girls are less competitive than

:28:09. > :28:13.boys? My goodness, they don't know my girls!

:28:14. > :28:18.Two daughters. Right, let me get my note pad out. What's the secret to a

:28:19. > :28:23.happy marriage? I want to, as I've said from the start, I want to try

:28:24. > :28:29.and cheer people up this morning. Couples who share the secret of

:36:34. > :36:40.That other little look. I played probably the best football of my

:36:41. > :36:48.career there. My son was born there. Liverpool for me is part of my life,

:36:49. > :36:58.part of my career, part of my heart. Can I ask you about your partnership

:36:59. > :37:05.with Steven Gerrard. I was a big fan of Stevie before I went to

:37:06. > :37:13.Liverpool. By far the best player I have played with. I will pay to play

:37:14. > :37:21.with him again. By far, the best player he has played with. He would

:37:22. > :37:29.pay to play with Steven Gerrard. High praise indeed. We also have a

:37:51. > :38:00.the game and what has happened with Ross Barkley in the last few days.

:38:01. > :38:06.We are on from midday for an hour. You miss the big one, Everton. I was

:38:07. > :38:21.ignoring him. They are up against it today. His eyes go wide, which means

:38:22. > :38:32.shuts up. The real challenge is to find a goal from the Scottish

:38:33. > :38:36.Premier League last night. Let's try and do it.

:38:37. > :38:39.There was one game in the Scottish Premiership last night.

:38:40. > :38:40.It finished goalless between Kilmarnock and Hearts.

:38:41. > :38:43.Fifth placed Hearts marginally had more of the game at Rugby Park ,

:38:44. > :38:46.Fifth placed Hearts marginally had more of the game at Rugby Park,

:38:47. > :38:50.although Kris Boyd failed to make the most of this chance to win

:39:00. > :39:02.at the World Track Cycling Championships in Hong Kong,

:39:06. > :39:08.The Olympic Gold medallist, was second, going into the final

:39:09. > :39:10.The Olympic Gold medallist, was second going into the final

:39:11. > :39:14.event, which was the points race, and did enough to beat Amy Cure

:39:15. > :39:18.It's Archibald's second world title, and her first individual gold -

:39:19. > :39:20.she was part of the victorious team pursuit squad three

:39:21. > :39:25.But yeah, feel really privileged to pull it off in the end.

:39:26. > :39:27.That was an unbelievably grippy race.

:39:28. > :39:30.I really thought I'd lost it in that middle point of just chase

:39:31. > :39:32.and chase and being attacked, chase and being attacked.

:39:33. > :39:52.I just got back on in the end and pulled it out of the bag.

:39:53. > :39:55.Elsewhere, Wigan claimed a thrilling derby win over St Helens,

:39:56. > :39:57.who played for 67 minutes with 12 men, after Kyle Amor,

:40:15. > :40:16.Quins were hoping to squeeze into the last available play off

:40:17. > :40:19.place, but Exeter's winning streak continued at the Stoop.

:40:20. > :40:20.This wonderful effort from Henry Slade, wrapped

:40:21. > :40:34.In the Pro12, it was pretty much one-way traffic

:40:35. > :40:36.as Glasgow beat Zebre 45-1, to keep their top four hopes alive,

:40:37. > :40:38.despite effectively fielding a second team.

:40:39. > :40:49.They scored 4, first half tries including this one by Peter Murchie.

:40:50. > :40:52.Snooker's World Championship gets under way in Sheffield this morning.

:40:53. > :40:54.Five-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan is in action against fellow

:40:55. > :40:56.Englishman Gary Wilson, in the afternoon session.

:40:57. > :40:58.It will be the 40th year, that the Crucible has played

:40:59. > :41:01.host to the tournament, and O'Sullivan is in the mood,

:41:02. > :41:05.It's a good tournament and everyone looks forward

:41:06. > :41:11.So yeah, it should be a great tournament again,

:41:12. > :41:13.whether it's the 40th or the 21th or the 140th.

:41:14. > :41:29.If you get to pick the trophy up at the end, it's an amazing feeling.

:41:30. > :41:43.If you were asked to name the top Alpine skiing nations... Is it

:41:44. > :41:49.Switzerland? How about Great Britain. Great Highland mountains in

:41:50. > :41:56.Scotland's, but pretty much a flat country. But imagine, do remember

:41:57. > :42:03.how citing the transformed? Partly thanks to a sky called Dan Hunt. He

:42:04. > :42:08.has been brought on board to join the ski team and he is hoping to

:42:09. > :42:13.turn Britain into a top skiing nation. I went along to the

:42:14. > :42:24.championships to find out how the Jewish skiing is being brought in

:42:25. > :42:29.from the cold. -- find out how British skiing is being brought in

:42:30. > :42:34.from the cold. The dawn of what many believe

:42:35. > :42:37.could be a gold new era for British skiing and leading the way,

:42:38. > :42:40.on top of the world, Dave Ryding. He specialises in slalom and this

:42:41. > :42:43.season stunned the world by coming second in a World Cup

:42:44. > :42:45.race in Austria. There's no way I can

:42:46. > :42:47.keep up with Dave. Following in his wake

:42:48. > :42:49.like many others indeed, inspired by his success,

:42:50. > :42:52.the first Briton since 1981 to make Especially in Austria,

:42:53. > :42:58.the home of skiing, I never really planned to get

:42:59. > :43:04.on a podium or anything but I just kept on working over the years,

:43:05. > :43:06.and yeah, to do it here, like the Wembley of alpine

:43:07. > :43:09.skiing, it was awesome. He started off at a dry slope

:43:10. > :43:12.in Lancashire while still in primary school and really honed his skills

:43:13. > :43:14.on this surface. It was several years before he first

:43:15. > :43:17.raced on snow and has since been to two Winter Olympics

:43:18. > :43:19.and World Championships but it is only now that he is 30

:43:20. > :43:23.that it has come right for Dave A lot of hard work over

:43:24. > :43:32.the last three years. You have to work on the ranking year

:43:33. > :43:35.after year and you get This year, I was able to take

:43:36. > :43:39.advantage of a good start in the season and have

:43:40. > :43:41.little less pressure. On the slalom course in Tignes,

:43:42. > :43:43.Dave did wait for me so he could show me that technique

:43:44. > :43:47.needed for slalom and show what his body goes through on a daily basis,

:43:48. > :43:50.whether in the gym or practicing All right, we go for a nice

:43:51. > :43:54.line, don't go straight Yeah, I think we just

:43:55. > :44:08.have to go, try and get the pressure on the outside ski

:44:09. > :44:10.and a nicer line. The feeling here at the British Ski

:44:11. > :44:22.Championships in Tignes in France is that Dave Ryding and his story

:44:23. > :44:25.could just be the beginning of Especially now with a man

:44:26. > :44:30.who transformed cycling on board, the ambitions have

:44:31. > :44:34.grown even higher. We set a really clear and ambitious

:44:35. > :44:45.target to become one of the top five ski and snowboard nations and to be

:44:46. > :44:48.podium-competitive across all of our It feels very similar to back

:44:49. > :44:52.when we started the cycling journey. There's this huge momentum

:44:53. > :45:00.in British skiing at the moment with the success that Dave's had

:45:01. > :45:02.and the success that Dave and the team's recent success

:45:03. > :45:06.has also got Royal approval with Prince Edward attended

:45:07. > :45:09.the championships to help They've managed to get

:45:10. > :45:15.into much better shape. Dave Ryding's success is just,

:45:16. > :45:18.I mean, it's stupid but on the men's side, that's a really,

:45:19. > :45:21.really big story. Success for the slope started

:45:22. > :45:24.in Sochi, when Jenny Jones of won an historic medal,

:45:25. > :45:27.got the ball rolling and the alpine skiers have

:45:28. > :45:29.shared some of the spoils. More funding is needed

:45:30. > :45:32.and in a sport as precarious as this, nothing can be

:45:33. > :45:33.taken for granted. But the rest of the world are now

:45:34. > :45:55.aware that Team GB and Dave Ryding Yes and within the next year, can he

:45:56. > :46:05.win an Olympic medal? Thank you very much indeed. It is a

:46:06. > :46:09.quarter to nine and you're watching BBC Breakfast.

:46:10. > :46:11.One of the most senior religious leaders in the so-called

:46:12. > :46:13.Islamic State group has been killed in West Mosul, according

:46:14. > :46:17.The Iraqi government has warned the thousands of civilians

:46:18. > :46:20.who remain trapped in the city to stay indoors, as troops

:46:21. > :46:22.Our Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale is embedded

:46:23. > :46:24.with Iraqi troops and we can speak to him now.

:46:25. > :46:32.We have seen pictures in the newspapers of the noree mosque. That

:46:33. > :46:42.is in the heart of the old city, is that where they are trying to get

:46:43. > :46:46.to? That is a target they have in mind, along with the narrow winding

:46:47. > :46:54.streets. It will be a difficult fight. Most of that area is still

:46:55. > :46:59.under IS control. They are about a kilometre away from the gleaming

:47:00. > :47:07.minaret of that mosque. At the moment, it is pretty quiet here. We

:47:08. > :47:14.had allowed night of air strikes. That is a helicopter gunship above

:47:15. > :47:20.and you can occasionally hear coalition warplanes. But the pace

:47:21. > :47:26.has slowed down. They are finding the fight difficult indeed, the

:47:27. > :47:29.Iraqi forces. It has pause for a number of weeks. We have been told

:47:30. > :47:34.they will resume the offensive, but they are finding it very difficult

:47:35. > :47:38.at the moment. One of your pieces is on BBC online at the moment. I

:47:39. > :47:42.watched it this morning. It seems there are occasions where you can

:47:43. > :47:50.get surrounded and very quickly. Is it very hairy to report from there?

:47:51. > :47:56.Does it come on you without even noticing? There are front lines, but

:47:57. > :47:59.there is a lot of mortar fire. There are Sniper Alley is where I are

:48:00. > :48:08.positioned and you don't know where they are. As you say, if you push

:48:09. > :48:12.right to the front, you can be surrounded on two sides of three

:48:13. > :48:16.sides by IS and they have been incidents where forces have been cut

:48:17. > :48:20.off and attacks come behind them and they have been killed. It is a

:48:21. > :48:25.dangerous place. There is an awful lot of lead flying about, a lot of

:48:26. > :48:29.artillery, a lot of rockets and mortar fire and you don't know when

:48:30. > :48:37.or where they are coming from. There are casualties. We went to be

:48:38. > :48:41.civilians clinic where people have been hit by shrapnel, either from

:48:42. > :48:44.air strikes or mortars. There are also a lot of people going into

:48:45. > :48:49.hospital who have been shot, and often shot in the back, which

:48:50. > :48:54.suggests they are being shot by IS as they flee. One of the reasons

:48:55. > :48:57.there is so much concern about this operation is because tens of

:48:58. > :49:02.thousands of people are trapped there, being used as human shields

:49:03. > :49:06.by IS and it is making despite very difficult indeed. It must be

:49:07. > :49:13.fiendishly difficult for the Iraqi soldiers when they come across

:49:14. > :49:15.groups of people like these that we are looking at on the screen at the

:49:16. > :49:18.moment. IS will try to mingle amongst them and everyone will

:49:19. > :49:27.therefore be treated with the same suspicion? They do. There is a

:49:28. > :49:31.nervousness when anyone approaches. People are asked to reveal what is

:49:32. > :49:35.under the stomach to make sure they don't have a suicide vest. Another

:49:36. > :49:44.development we have seen is there have been IS forces who have put on

:49:45. > :49:49.Iraqi military uniforms, posed as troops and opened fire. The Iraqis

:49:50. > :49:53.aren't the only ones in this battle. There is the counterterrorism

:49:54. > :50:02.service, the Federal police, the emergency response division who were

:50:03. > :50:07.in bed it with the Iraqi army, and there has not been much sign of

:50:08. > :50:10.them, which is a cause for concern. We have seen American special

:50:11. > :50:16.forces, although we have been asked not to film them. They are getting

:50:17. > :50:20.help, and of course from the air as well. When it is a bad day

:50:21. > :50:26.weather-wise, the advance slows the quickly because they want the air

:50:27. > :50:36.cover. Fascinating. Stay safe. Thank you for being with us.

:50:37. > :50:40.Here's Philip with a look at this morning's weather.

:50:41. > :50:52.It is. At the moment, I'm showing you both a satellite image. There is

:50:53. > :50:58.plenty of sunshine around, but I have dotted in also the radar to

:50:59. > :51:02.show rain and snow, and I'm not talking about George Square or the

:51:03. > :51:06.Royal mile, I'm talking about the heels of Scotland with the wind is

:51:07. > :51:15.very strong. It is quite noticeable at lower levels in Scotland in the

:51:16. > :51:18.north of England. There are one or two showers over Merseyside and the

:51:19. > :51:21.West of Wales into the south-west, but there is a lot of dry weather

:51:22. > :51:26.across the South and that is probably the way it will stay. The

:51:27. > :51:30.wind will be a noticeable feature across Scotland, Northern Ireland

:51:31. > :51:35.and the north of England. It will usher in a peppering of showers.

:51:36. > :51:42.Further south there is no great organisation about the odd isolated

:51:43. > :51:45.shower. Temperatures, I have talked about slow, but that the lower

:51:46. > :51:49.levels we opted to much where we have been in recent days. When the

:51:50. > :51:57.skies clear overnight, temperatures would do away. If you are out this

:51:58. > :51:59.evening, bear that in mind. In Northern Ireland though, you will

:52:00. > :52:06.end up with pretty wet weather in the wee hours. The rain would drift

:52:07. > :52:11.to the heart of the British Isles. It will move, so even if it starts

:52:12. > :52:15.wet in Northern Ireland is, that webby the regime for the rest of the

:52:16. > :52:24.day. I'm doubtful about how far north it will go into the central

:52:25. > :52:33.belt. It does have London's name on it though later on in the day. Then

:52:34. > :52:38.we are off and running into the new week. Holiday for many on Monday.

:52:39. > :52:42.Not a bad day in prospect, but it will be on the cool side. Watch out

:52:43. > :52:46.for those cold nights. Her online videos have been viewed

:52:47. > :52:50.more than one-and-a-half billion times, and feature the likes

:52:51. > :52:52.of Michelle Obama, Last year, Lilly Singh

:52:53. > :52:59.also became the highest So with that sort of media power,

:53:00. > :53:03.it's no surprise the Canadian But after conquering the internet,

:53:04. > :53:09.she now wants to help We'll speak to Lilly

:53:10. > :53:15.in a moment but first, let's take a look at some

:53:16. > :53:32.of her work. I am at Howard University. You think

:53:33. > :53:41.you are ready, but you are not ready. I am with the first Lady of

:53:42. > :53:49.the United States, Michelle Obama. I am excited. What are you doing here?

:53:50. > :54:01.I am launching my YouTube channel and I need some advice. That is my

:54:02. > :54:08.world. I'd just met her and I don't know that much about her. What a

:54:09. > :54:14.huge honour. Thank you for being on my YouTube channel. This is proved

:54:15. > :54:19.this is not photo shop. Do you think the world is becoming a better place

:54:20. > :54:24.because according to people on Twitter, it feels like the world is

:54:25. > :54:31.going to hell. I feel we have so much in common. We are like twins.

:54:32. > :54:37.So people at home who might not immediately know who you are, that

:54:38. > :54:42.who you are. That was a great introduction. Thank you. That was

:54:43. > :54:57.the greatest highlights reel I have seen. Michelle Obama, Bill Gates.

:54:58. > :55:06.And The Rock. The two of you have a great relationship. He was my role

:55:07. > :55:11.model when I was younger. I was reading your biography last night

:55:12. > :55:14.and it says that you were a bit retiring, a bit shy, a bit

:55:15. > :55:20.dissatisfied with your life. None of that comes across in those videos.

:55:21. > :55:27.That was mean 2010 before I started making YouTube videos. Not that long

:55:28. > :55:35.ago. No, seven years. I was sad, I was going through a rough period.

:55:36. > :55:39.Why? Just life. I was in my last year of university and I was

:55:40. > :55:46.convinced I would have to live a linear life. Get married, have kids.

:55:47. > :55:49.I lost my creative spark and then I discovered YouTube. I thought people

:55:50. > :55:53.are in their rooms talking to cameras. I tried it one day and it

:55:54. > :56:00.gave birth to this creativity in me again. What moment was it when you

:56:01. > :56:05.realise it was getting bigger and bigger? When people asked me this, I

:56:06. > :56:09.can never pinpoint that moment because I feel like I was the last

:56:10. > :56:16.person to discover it was going somewhere. Everyone else was saying,

:56:17. > :56:23.you have a million subscribers. I think it was when I first performed

:56:24. > :56:31.in India and I thought, people are watching my videos. You are from a

:56:32. > :56:38.traditional Punjabi family. Did they tune in to you first because you are

:56:39. > :56:44.this funny Canadian woman? I think people who watch me in the beginning

:56:45. > :56:54.were people who looked like me. It was refreshing to them. There is a

:56:55. > :56:57.brown girl that is outspoken! You are from a traditional background,

:56:58. > :57:04.but you have put all of that into your YouTube videos, haven't you?

:57:05. > :57:07.The pairing characters iPlayer are nothing like mine. I have to say

:57:08. > :57:20.that otherwise my parents will get angry. -- that I play. You grew up

:57:21. > :57:26.in a family where you were expected to get married quite young? Not

:57:27. > :57:32.young, just after the school and job thing. But now my mum says, I don't

:57:33. > :57:37.care if you get married. Do they come to your shows? They do now.

:57:38. > :57:44.They are really supportive. They are proud of the book. Why a book? You

:57:45. > :57:54.have all of these people who watch you on the Internet, why go through

:57:55. > :57:58.the old traditional medium? When I write my YouTube scripts, they are

:57:59. > :58:03.five minutes long. With the book I was able to be more vulnerable and

:58:04. > :58:16.have my face not be seen so I could be more emotional, raw and burrow.

:58:17. > :58:31.-- for oh. What is the book called? How To Be A Bawse: A Guide To

:58:32. > :58:35.Conquering Life. You have tool can -- you have spoken about young girls

:58:36. > :58:45.and how they can be mean to each other. I have a campaign to end girl

:58:46. > :58:50.on girl pate. We should support each other. That is the quality of a true

:58:51. > :59:00.woman, to support her and not tear her down.

:59:01. > :59:06.The was some talk last week on another programme I do about young

:59:07. > :59:10.girls who feel they need to be perfectionists. I suppose that group

:59:11. > :59:18.who are watching you on you Tube take a lot of inspiration from you?

:59:19. > :59:23.I would hope. I have this moment where I thought, 11 million people

:59:24. > :59:32.are watching my videos, let me be empowering. Lovely to meet you. I

:59:33. > :59:36.feel inspired. When I get out of here I am going to be a Bawse.

:59:37. > :59:44.Lilly's book is called How To Be A Bawse: A Guide To Conquering Life.

:59:45. > :00:04.Still to come, the headlines. Stay with us on Breakfast.

:00:05. > :00:08.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Christian Fraser and Sally Nugent.

:00:09. > :00:10.North Korea has said it's prepared to respond in kind to any nuclear

:00:11. > :00:17.Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians have taken part

:00:18. > :00:20.in a huge military parade amid growing speculation

:00:21. > :00:34.that the country is preparing another nuclear test.

:00:35. > :00:39.Good morning. It's Saturday, 15th April.

:00:40. > :00:42.Learner drivers will have to prove they can use

:00:43. > :00:46.a satnav in new changes to the practical test.

:00:47. > :00:48.The Sun columnist Kelvin MacKenzie has been suspended and reported

:00:49. > :00:50.to police over an article he wrote about the Everton

:00:51. > :00:56.Half of the world's bluebells are found here in the UK,

:00:57. > :01:01.but we'll hear why the British bluebell could be under threat.

:01:08. > :01:09.The Championship leaders win at Wolves and are now

:01:10. > :01:20.And the slalom was definitely a challenge for me.

:01:21. > :01:23.I've been finding out how the Team GB Alpine skiers, are hoping

:01:24. > :01:30.Good morning, not a bad day for most parts of the British Isles.

:01:31. > :01:33.Can we keep it going for the rest of the holiday weekend?

:01:34. > :01:38.I'll have the details for you in a few minutes.

:01:39. > :01:41.Good morning. First, our main story.

:01:42. > :01:43.North Korea has warned that it's prepared to respond in kind

:01:44. > :01:48.It comes amid growing tensions between Pyongyang and the US.

:01:49. > :01:51.Earlier this morning, Kim Jong-un oversaw a massive

:01:52. > :01:53.military parade to celebrate the anniversary of the birth

:01:54. > :01:57.of his grandfather, the country's founder.

:01:58. > :01:59.Our Correspondent John Sudworth was invited to witness the event.

:02:00. > :02:02.His movements are being tightly controlled, but earlier he described

:02:03. > :02:11.You can actually feel the ground shake as thousands upon thousands

:02:12. > :02:16.of goose-stepping soldiers, tanks and rockets and other weaponry

:02:17. > :02:21.have marched and rumbled their way through the capital city.

:02:22. > :02:24.This is a display of unity for the young North Korean

:02:25. > :02:29.leader and it is meant, of course, to send a key

:02:30. > :02:31.message on the anniversary of his grandfather's birth

:02:32. > :02:36.that his grip on power is unassailable, but as Donald Trump

:02:37. > :02:41.threatens to thwart his nuclear ambitions, it also sends a message

:02:42. > :02:48.to the outside world that this country's military with its nuclear

:02:49. > :02:54.tests and missile launches is vital for its survival

:02:55. > :02:57.and military analysts will, of course, be pouring over these

:02:58. > :03:01.pictures for evidence of the latest state of technological advancement

:03:02. > :03:07.There is that speculation that it maybe preparing for another

:03:08. > :03:15.At the moment, we have absolutely no contact with the outside world other

:03:16. > :03:18.than this TV line that I'm speaking to you on.

:03:19. > :03:22.All of our mobile phones were taken away from us about five or six hours

:03:23. > :03:25.ago before being allowed here into Kim Il Sung Square.

:03:26. > :03:28.I think it's probably unlikely that we'll see a test today,

:03:29. > :03:32.but Kim Jong-un is making it absolutely clear that he is not

:03:33. > :03:35.prepared to negotiate away his nuclear weapons whilst

:03:36. > :03:40.being threatened and challenged by the United States.

:03:41. > :03:45.And experts believe that with missiles, with weaponry

:03:46. > :03:49.like this, they are just a few small steps away from having a real

:03:50. > :03:57.deliverable nuclear arsenal and of course,

:03:58. > :04:00.once they reach that stage, it's a game changer in terms

:04:01. > :04:05.of the regional security situation and the global international

:04:06. > :04:11.diplomatic calculation about what can be done

:04:12. > :04:12.about North Korea's military ambitions?

:04:13. > :04:14.It changes things for good and the young man sitting up

:04:15. > :04:17.there in those stands has learned those lessons from his grandfather

:04:30. > :04:31.been named as Hannah Bladon from Burton-on-Trent.

:04:44. > :04:45.deaths in the Barnsley area which they think might be

:04:46. > :04:49.They're trying to find out if the deaths were caused

:04:50. > :04:54.by the strength and content of the drug being used locally.

:04:55. > :04:57.Driving tests are getting an MOT in order to better reflect

:04:58. > :05:01.From December, learner drivers will no longer have to tackle some

:05:02. > :05:10.traditional manoeuvres, but will instead be expected

:05:11. > :05:15.to demonstrate new skills, such as using a satnav safely.

:05:16. > :05:26.We will be discussing the changes with a driving instructor shortly. I

:05:27. > :05:27.always think when I'm talking to a driving instructor I'm back on my

:05:28. > :05:32.test! The Sun columnist, Kelvin MacKenzie,

:05:33. > :05:35.has been suspended after he compared the intelligence of the Everton

:05:36. > :05:37.footballer Ross Barkley The mayor of Liverpool,

:05:38. > :05:40.Joe Anderson, reported him to Merseyside Police

:05:41. > :05:42.for what he called "racial slurs". It was this column published

:05:43. > :05:45.yesterday which has seen Kelvin MacKenzie

:05:46. > :05:47.suspended from The Sun. The article was about Everton

:05:48. > :05:49.mid-fielder Ross Barkley who was punched earlier this

:05:50. > :05:51.week in a Liverpool bar. In it, the paper's former editor

:05:52. > :05:53.compared the footballer, whose grandfather was born

:05:54. > :05:55.in Nigeria, to a gorilla. Mr MacKenzie also wrote that men

:05:56. > :05:58.with similar pay packets My stomach turned when I saw

:05:59. > :06:04.the picture of Ross Barkley I think that was totally racist.

:06:05. > :06:11.It offended me. I'm sure it offended Ross Barkley

:06:12. > :06:14.and his family and it offended lots of other people and that's why

:06:15. > :06:20.I reported this to the police. I'm not reporting it

:06:21. > :06:23.to the police as a gimmick. I've reported it to the police

:06:24. > :06:26.because I felt and I do feel that it was a racial

:06:27. > :06:29.attack on an individual. Merseyside Police are now

:06:30. > :06:33.investigating whether the comments In a statement The Sun's publisher,

:06:34. > :06:38.News UK, apologised for the offence caused and said the paper

:06:39. > :06:40.was unaware of Ross Kelvin MacKenzie has also responded

:06:41. > :06:44.saying it was beyond parody Almost a fifth of parents

:06:45. > :06:54.are being asked to make a financial contribution to their child's

:06:55. > :06:56.school, according to a survey It comes as school leaders

:06:57. > :07:01.and teachers have voiced concerns about growing funding pressures

:07:02. > :07:03.in England's state schools. The Government says school spending

:07:04. > :07:08.is at a record high. 25% of parents are saying

:07:09. > :07:13.they can't afford to make the contributions

:07:14. > :07:15.and as a result of that, their children are

:07:16. > :07:16.unable to participate in creative subjects,

:07:17. > :07:18.in art, in school Britain's creative companies

:07:19. > :07:27.are urging the Government to overhaul its approach

:07:28. > :07:30.to the sector, as ministers draw up They say British creativity

:07:31. > :07:34.is a big export earner and should be taken just

:07:35. > :07:36.as seriously as other industrial The Business Secretary Greg Clark

:07:37. > :07:40.says he wants to build on the sector's strengths

:07:41. > :07:43.and is committed to doing a deal Chewing gum manufacturers

:07:44. > :07:55.are being urged to contribute to the cost of removing discarded

:07:56. > :08:02.gum from pavements. It's estimated local authorities

:08:03. > :08:05.spend as much as ?60 million The Local Government Association

:08:06. > :08:08.says the industry should also switch to biodegradable products to help

:08:09. > :08:10.tackle the problem. Competitors in England who take

:08:11. > :08:13.part in weekend fun runs will no longer be charged,

:08:14. > :08:15.under new rules proposed The changes would make it illegal

:08:16. > :08:19.for councils to charge Parkrun, whose events aim to encourage

:08:20. > :08:25.people to exercise. It's one of the most successful film

:08:26. > :08:28.franchises of all time, and last night, in a galaxy far,

:08:29. > :08:32.far away there was exciting news The much-awaited first

:08:33. > :08:46.trailer for the upcoming Star Wars It offers fans a peek at the eighth

:08:47. > :08:51.episode in the Star Wars franchise. The two minute teaser hints

:08:52. > :08:53.at dramatic battle scenes and stunning scenery shots,

:08:54. > :09:13.but it also leaves fans with more Like? What happened to them all? Who

:09:14. > :09:18.is that person in silhouette? How is Luke Skywalker doing these days?

:09:19. > :09:23.Right, it is 9.09am. Sitting your driving test can be

:09:24. > :09:25.a nerve-wracking experience, but people hoping to get behind

:09:26. > :09:28.the wheel will face some different challenges from the end of this year

:09:29. > :09:31.as the exam undergoes an MOT. The practical driving test

:09:32. > :09:34.will change in four main ways. The independent driving part

:09:35. > :09:36.will increase in length Candidates will follow

:09:37. > :09:39.directions on a satnav Traditional manoeuvres such

:09:40. > :09:43.as the reverse around a corner will be replaced with more real life

:09:44. > :09:45.scenarios including driving into and reversing

:09:46. > :09:49.out of a parking bay. And vehicle safety questions such

:09:50. > :09:52.as how to use the rear heated screen will be tested

:09:53. > :09:54.while the candidate is driving. We've been asking some motorists

:09:55. > :10:07.what they make of the changes. A satnav tells you what lane to be

:10:08. > :10:12.in on a motorway or something like that. It stops potentially, it could

:10:13. > :10:15.stop a lot of accidents happening that wouldn't because people don't

:10:16. > :10:21.know how to use a satnav while driving. They need to be built in

:10:22. > :10:24.satnavs these days because they can be just as distracting as a mobile

:10:25. > :10:31.phone. A lot of people use them on their phones, don't they? Maybe

:10:32. > :10:34.showing people that a satnav is handy, but maybe deterring them from

:10:35. > :10:39.using their mobile phones might be a better option, yeah. Parallel

:10:40. > :10:43.parking or reverse parking is a good thing because nobody can park in the

:10:44. > :10:44.bay anymore because the bays are getting smaller and the cars are

:10:45. > :10:48.getting bigger! Let's discuss this now

:10:49. > :10:56.with James Eisen who is So do you have to change the way you

:10:57. > :10:59.teach people? I wouldn't say we're completely changing the system.

:11:00. > :11:06.Caning a little bit? A little bit, yes. We teach people the manoeuvres

:11:07. > :11:12.at the moment and we will probably still teach them some manoeuvres as

:11:13. > :11:15.part of the new driving test. Will it increase driver safety

:11:16. > :11:20.considerably this? I would raise a question over that. I'm not 100%

:11:21. > :11:24.sure that it has a direct implication on the number of people

:11:25. > :11:29.who are killed or seriously injured on the roads. In fact, more recently

:11:30. > :11:34.there has been an upward trend over the last few months... Particularly

:11:35. > :11:36.young people? Yes, well those figures have stayed stubbornly where

:11:37. > :11:43.they are. They haven't changed over the last few years. We had the head

:11:44. > :11:46.of driving policy from what was the Institute of Advanced motorists on

:11:47. > :11:50.and he said one of the challenges they face, people can pass their

:11:51. > :11:55.test, but not be able to drive. Not have that kind of practical road

:11:56. > :12:00.sense? Yes, well, I think using your satnav is probably a good thing

:12:01. > :12:05.towards getting more experience, but whether or not there is an

:12:06. > :12:10.improvement in road safety as a result of that I'm not sure. You

:12:11. > :12:14.learn more, don't you once you've passed your test? A lot of people

:12:15. > :12:18.would say, you know, that they have often learnt to drive after they've

:12:19. > :12:22.passed the driving test, but we try and teach those skills as much as we

:12:23. > :12:25.can during the process of learning to drive as well. One of the things

:12:26. > :12:30.that's been dropped is the dreaded reversing round a corner thing. Yes.

:12:31. > :12:36.Are you pleased by that? Is that a good thing? I think it probably is a

:12:37. > :12:40.good thing because it is probably done much to have the annoyance of

:12:41. > :12:43.local residents that we find little roads and practise on corners so

:12:44. > :12:47.that's probably a welcome change. The thing I noticed about modern

:12:48. > :12:51.cars, I wonder if this is what the thinking was when you talk about

:12:52. > :12:55.turning on the back screen heater is they everything is like a console on

:12:56. > :12:59.the front of the dashboard now so you have to touch a screen to do, in

:13:00. > :13:03.the new Citroen cars there is a huge screen there. So it is a different

:13:04. > :13:10.driving experience to the one when we passed our test? Yes, technology

:13:11. > :13:14.plays a part in driving now and I think a lot of technology is very

:13:15. > :13:19.welcome in assisting drivers and making it easier for them to

:13:20. > :13:25.interact with the road. So those things are definitely welcome. Tell

:13:26. > :13:30.me this, do you still do that? Do you remember that? The emergency

:13:31. > :13:33.stop. Does that still happen? Yes, the emergency stop will be still

:13:34. > :13:38.part of the driving test and I continue to teach that. Wow. For

:13:39. > :13:42.sure. We didn't do the written test. That's how old we are. But people

:13:43. > :13:46.will still have to know and recognise road signs, right? Well,

:13:47. > :13:50.yes. I think that you still have to do your theory test, of courseks and

:13:51. > :13:56.most people will learn about that through the process of learning

:13:57. > :13:59.their theory. But obviously we put that into practise when they're

:14:00. > :14:03.learning to drive so through their lessons they should interact with

:14:04. > :14:08.signs and follow directions as well. And interact with a satnav now as

:14:09. > :14:14.well? Yes. James is helping me get over my phobia of driving test

:14:15. > :14:18.instructors. I feel relaxed. I can tell you the last one I met, I

:14:19. > :14:27.didn't feel that relaxed! Thank you for coming in.

:14:28. > :14:38.Here's Philip with a look at this morning's weather.

:14:39. > :14:44.I never saw Weymouth looking that good, but one of our Weather

:14:45. > :14:51.Watchers caught that in morning. Ignore that, it is Weymouth and it

:14:52. > :14:56.was taken by Shamrock. As we drift further north there is a peppering

:14:57. > :15:02.of showers. Some of them wintry across the high ground of Scotland.

:15:03. > :15:06.This is not anywhere in the M8. 75mph winds at Cairngorm and minus

:15:07. > :15:11.five and there will be snow as well, but at the lower levels, it is sunny

:15:12. > :15:18.spells and showers, in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the north

:15:19. > :15:22.western quarter of England. Elsewhere, you're off to a dry start

:15:23. > :15:27.and that's probably the way it's going to stay across the bottom half

:15:28. > :15:32.of the British Isles. Further north, that wind will be present through

:15:33. > :15:36.the day. Not a warm direction. But the temperatures will be where we've

:15:37. > :15:46.had them for the past few days, ten to 15 Celsius. Cooler as you move up

:15:47. > :15:49.towards the Shetland Isles. It is not June and July so the

:15:50. > :15:53.temperatures will dribble away under clear skies. For a time, but they

:15:54. > :15:55.fill in marketedly across the western side of Scotland through

:15:56. > :16:00.Northern Ireland where you end up with a wet end to the night. The

:16:01. > :16:04.temperatures with the shield of cloud moving in continuing to

:16:05. > :16:08.recover elsewhere. There is a little bit of uncertainty still, I know it

:16:09. > :16:11.is within the next 24 hours, but Easter day, this rain goes through

:16:12. > :16:17.the heart of the British Isles, but the northern limit, the southern

:16:18. > :16:21.limit open to a little bit of conjecture at the moment. The

:16:22. > :16:25.south-western quarter, you don't see very much rain at all. I know some

:16:26. > :16:29.of you need it in the south, but I don't think for many of you that's

:16:30. > :16:32.the system to bring it. And then on Monday, it's a cool, cool north to

:16:33. > :16:35.north-westerly breeze again. A decent enough day if you have got

:16:36. > :16:38.plans to be out and about. I don't think the weather will get in the

:16:39. > :16:41.way too much. There will be a scattering of showers, but watch out

:16:42. > :16:45.for really cold and I mean cold and frosty nights to come in the

:16:46. > :16:51.forthcoming week. Philip, thank you very much.

:16:52. > :16:54.If you've been out walking in the last few days,

:16:55. > :16:57.you might have been lucky enough to come across a bluebell wood.

:16:58. > :16:59.But this spring, it seems those gorgeous blue-violet

:17:00. > :17:01.carpets have appeared later than in previous years.

:17:02. > :17:10.We have been doing this, this for us this morning to find out why.

:17:11. > :17:15.We have been doing this, this morning, I want to know, maybe you

:17:16. > :17:19.have got expert advice on hand, what's the difference between a

:17:20. > :17:24.Spanish bluebell and an English bluebell? I knew you were going to

:17:25. > :17:28.ask me that! I have got the very person here to explain in this

:17:29. > :17:33.enchanted forest about what the difference between a native and a

:17:34. > :17:36.non native bluebell is. Steve Marsh from the Woodland Trust over to you

:17:37. > :17:42.to explain. We want people to go out and tell us where the bluebell woods

:17:43. > :17:48.are and tell us if they are native or non native. Let's have a look.

:17:49. > :17:53.This is a native one. This is a native but bell. The native droops

:17:54. > :17:56.omplt it has white pollen, a non native has blue pollen. The non

:17:57. > :18:01.native is upright and stiff and doesn't droop over. The petals on a

:18:02. > :18:06.native curl back, the petals on a non native do not and the native has

:18:07. > :18:11.a wonderful scent and the non native doesn't. These are very fragile.

:18:12. > :18:15.Let's look at the carpet here of beautiful, beautiful blue flowers.

:18:16. > :18:18.Tell us about the bluebell, why it is more fragile here and how we can

:18:19. > :18:25.preserve them and look after them? They are a delicate flower and they

:18:26. > :18:32.are an indicator of ancient woodland and it is an irreplaceable habitat.

:18:33. > :18:36.So, when you look at the but bells, enjoy them, don't pick them because

:18:37. > :18:46.it is illegal. Don't trample on them, not only does it ruin other

:18:47. > :18:52.people's enjoyment, but it destroys their future. It is incredible to be

:18:53. > :18:58.in amongst it and you want people all around the UK to see and tell

:18:59. > :19:01.you where their bluebell are? Spring is wonderful, spectacular show and

:19:02. > :19:05.we want people to go out and enjoy bluebells. You can go on to the

:19:06. > :19:10.Woodland Trust website and put in your postcode and it will tell you

:19:11. > :19:13.where your nearest brew bell is, go out and enjoy them because they are

:19:14. > :19:17.not around for long. It is incredible to be in amongst the

:19:18. > :19:25.birdsong and the beautiful trees and how long will they be around for?

:19:26. > :19:29.So, it varies across the country. The south you are they come out

:19:30. > :19:35.earlier than up north. They tend to last three to four weeks. So get out

:19:36. > :19:40.and enjoy them and get out each week and you will see them change and you

:19:41. > :19:43.can't miss it and the Woodland Trust website has everything you need to

:19:44. > :19:48.know about visiting them and finding out where they are. Steve Marsh,

:19:49. > :19:53.thank you. We have learned a lot and we have had so many tweets from us

:19:54. > :19:59.asking us for the explanations and Steve has done a marvellous job. It

:20:00. > :20:02.is not just bluebells that's in this enchanted wood, there are also

:20:03. > :20:10.fairies here. I believe you. It looks like a fairy glen to me.

:20:11. > :20:13.Droopy heads and petals is what we're looking for.

:20:14. > :20:16.You've been sending in your bluebell pictures this morning.

:20:17. > :20:19.Claire sent this one of the woodland near her home in New Ash Green

:20:20. > :20:22.saying it smells amazing at the moment.

:20:23. > :20:28.Here's Poppy enjoying the bluebells in Hardwick.

:20:29. > :21:00.It's 9.20am. It's time for a look at this

:21:01. > :21:08.morning's papers. Executive Director of the FA

:21:09. > :21:11.David Davies is here to tell us But first let's look

:21:12. > :21:15.at the front pages. The Daily Mirror,

:21:16. > :21:22.brink of nuclear war. We have been sharing images from

:21:23. > :21:26.Pyongyang. The Times are saying that Donald

:21:27. > :21:32.Trump is looking at a number of option to say stop North Korea

:21:33. > :21:44.developing an interballistic missile.

:21:45. > :21:51.The Daily Mail, an MOT for the driving test. You need to know how

:21:52. > :21:55.to use your satnav. The Daily Telegraph, back to North Korea and

:21:56. > :22:00.they're saying that there is a specific threat that's been talked

:22:01. > :22:06.about by the CIA this morning. In our headlines is this story about

:22:07. > :22:11.Kelvin MacKenzie and Ross Barkley. As an ex-newspaper man I'm staggered

:22:12. > :22:17.that a story like that gets past the subs and past the backbench and then

:22:18. > :22:22.past the editor. It is a sad story. It was immensely unfunny, the

:22:23. > :22:33.article, whatever the background of Ross Barkley in this case. It is

:22:34. > :22:37.easy to be po-faced and I'm sure Kelvin MacKenzie would say that. He

:22:38. > :22:41.then says he didn't know anything about his background and all the

:22:42. > :22:45.rest of it. It was unfunny and hurtful and whoever it was said

:22:46. > :22:49.about and you know p but these things happen, but the problem is,

:22:50. > :22:54.he is a serious figure in public life. He does know that anything

:22:55. > :22:58.that he says about Merseyside, or the city of Liverpool, is going to

:22:59. > :23:03.cause a reaction? Well, there is history there, of course, which

:23:04. > :23:06.those of us who worked in the north-west of England for a

:23:07. > :23:11.considerable time are well aware of and that history lives on. It is the

:23:12. > :23:15.anniversary of Hillsborough today and I'm sure that will be marked in

:23:16. > :23:20.Liverpool today. And in Sheffield. And Sheffield, of course, yes. The

:23:21. > :23:26.Times, Trump demands gold plated welcome when he comes here to the

:23:27. > :23:28.UK. Right. Well, it was not long ago, call me old-fashioned, we were

:23:29. > :23:34.being told that the president, if he came at all in 2017, would have a

:23:35. > :23:39.relatively low-key visit and here we're told the White House has made

:23:40. > :23:46.it clear it regards the carriage procession down the Mall as an

:23:47. > :23:50.essential element of that itinerary and President Obama is coming in

:23:51. > :23:54.October and goodness know what is the cost of the security will be and

:23:55. > :23:59.goodness how many protesters there will be. We can laugh about, he

:24:00. > :24:03.wants to arrive in a carriage, but it is the security implications of

:24:04. > :24:07.the carriage that makes it difficult because if he is in an armoured car,

:24:08. > :24:14.it's easier for the Security Services. All the time, we're told

:24:15. > :24:19.that the contrast with his predecessor President Obama, who

:24:20. > :24:22.came in an armoured car with that extraordinary motorcade all the US

:24:23. > :24:27.presidents have, but you can't help thinking that so many of the things

:24:28. > :24:35.that President Trump is doing,s' doing to contrast himself with the

:24:36. > :24:38.style of President Obama. Yes. Couldn't be more different. Very

:24:39. > :24:44.different. The Sun and the Times, both have

:24:45. > :24:49.stories about the Queen who is on the look out for some new staff.

:24:50. > :24:53.Well, do you fancy a new job? I've got two courtesy of the Sun and the

:24:54. > :24:57.Time and of Her Majesty the Queen. The Queen is advertising for a

:24:58. > :25:04.trainee butler to deliver world-class service at Buckingham

:25:05. > :25:08.Palace for ?18850 a year, people would need to make a salary

:25:09. > :25:15.adjustment, but they could have stunning accommodation. Where do you

:25:16. > :25:22.get to live? Well, exactly. If you go to the Times, the Queen wants a

:25:23. > :25:28.new gardener for Balmoral. That's quite a job. An attractive package

:25:29. > :25:32.is available there. A lot of grounds. There is jobs going

:25:33. > :25:38.somewhere, no doubt about that. I would have to get some new kit. What

:25:39. > :25:43.about Brighton? Well, I wanted to talk about Brighton. I don't often

:25:44. > :25:48.talk in this slot about football, for obvious reasons! But I just

:25:49. > :25:52.think Brighton's achievement, they may well be promoted to the top

:25:53. > :25:58.division for the first time in 34 years on Monday. If not Monday, soon

:25:59. > :26:03.afterwards. It is not so much that as 20 years ago, they were within 15

:26:04. > :26:08.minutes of going out of the Football League altogether. There are lessons

:26:09. > :26:13.there for Coventry another big club that have gone down to the lowest

:26:14. > :26:21.division yesterday, but the basic point that I wanted to make is there

:26:22. > :26:25.are people like Dick Knight and Tony Bloom, local people who have brought

:26:26. > :26:28.that club to what I consider an achievement even greater than

:26:29. > :26:33.Leicester's last season in winning the Premier League. Compare that to

:26:34. > :26:40.Blackburn, it is chalk and cheese, isn't it? With your old FA hat on,

:26:41. > :26:44.you know, is there something to learn from Brighton? Well, there is

:26:45. > :26:47.something to learn for people, I always say, you know, you have to be

:26:48. > :26:51.mad, sad and all the other things if you want to own a football club and

:26:52. > :26:55.quite a few football owners would probably agree with me! But, you

:26:56. > :26:59.know, there are certainly lessons to learn from what these guys have done

:27:00. > :27:03.and how they've done it with the backing of the supporters. I can

:27:04. > :27:09.remember, I went to a public meeting when Brighton was in serious danger

:27:10. > :27:17.of going out of existence in a nightclub in Brighton on a Monday

:27:18. > :27:21.night, 950 people there, chanting various obscenities at the man from

:27:22. > :27:27.the FA, we worked with Dick Knight to take over that club and make sure

:27:28. > :27:32.they got a wonderful new ground. It is lovely there. It is a great

:27:33. > :27:35.stadium. It is fantastic and it is a great achievement and everybody will

:27:36. > :27:39.be thrilled, who cares about football, will be thrilled. Credit

:27:40. > :27:40.to them. Well done. David, it has been lovely to have you. Thank you

:27:41. > :27:46.for coming on this morning. We're on BBC One until 10am

:27:47. > :27:54.when Matt Tebbutt takes over Good morning, guys. Our special

:27:55. > :28:01.guest today knows a thing or two about plants and about super foods.

:28:02. > :28:07.James Wan is here. You are here to face your footed heaven and food

:28:08. > :28:13.hell. Food heaven is mango and coriander is my food hell. There is

:28:14. > :28:18.going to be delicious food cooked. Welcome to the show. Thank you for

:28:19. > :28:27.having me. What are you making? Are you making cake? It is a vanilla

:28:28. > :28:34.cake with fresh fruit. Tom Kitchen, what are you cooking? I'm going to

:28:35. > :28:38.steam halibut and serve it with asparagus and serve mussels and

:28:39. > :28:44.clams and winkles. Very nice. I love a winkle. Suzy Bar crisis is here to

:28:45. > :28:48.choose the wine. Gorgeous recipes. It was not a difficult job choosing

:28:49. > :28:58.lovely wines. I look forward to that. See you at 10am. Skinnilicious

:28:59. > :29:00.is my word of the day. Stay with us, the headlines are

:29:01. > :30:05.coming up. Hello, this is Breakfast with

:30:06. > :30:08.Christian Fraser and Sally Nugent. Coming up before ten,

:30:09. > :30:10.Philip Avery will have the weather. But first, a summary of this

:30:11. > :30:18.morning's main news. North Korea has staged a huge

:30:19. > :30:21.military parade as it warns it will retaliate if it's attacked

:30:22. > :30:23.by the United States. The driving test is getting

:30:24. > :30:38.a major overhaul - North Korea has warned it's

:30:39. > :30:40.prepared to respond in kind It comes amid growing tensions

:30:41. > :30:44.between Pyongyang and the US. Earlier this morning,

:30:45. > :30:45.Kim Jong-un oversaw a massive military parade to celebrate

:30:46. > :30:48.the anniversary of the birth of his grandfather,

:30:49. > :30:49.the country's founder. South Korean military

:30:50. > :30:51.officials believe a new type of intercontinental ballistic

:30:52. > :30:53.missile was on display. Speaking to us earlier,

:30:54. > :30:55.the former British Ambassador to North Korea John Everard said it

:30:56. > :30:58.would be wrong to question the mental health of

:30:59. > :31:01.the North Korean leader. He is definitely not mad. Kim

:31:02. > :31:06.Jong-un is not a fall. He is prepared to take risks, rather as

:31:07. > :31:08.certain other world leaders have. It is not insanity, it is claimed by a

:31:09. > :31:13.different rule book. Police in Sheffield

:31:14. > :31:14.are investigating four unexplained deaths in the Barnsley area

:31:15. > :31:17.which they think might be They're trying to find out

:31:18. > :31:20.if the deaths were caused by the strength and content

:31:21. > :31:23.of the drug being used locally. Driving tests are getting an MOT

:31:24. > :31:25.in order to better reflect From December, learner drivers

:31:26. > :31:29.will no longer have to tackle some traditional manoeuvres,

:31:30. > :31:31.but will instead be expected to demonstrate new skills,

:31:32. > :31:36.such as using a Sat Nav safely. Almost a fifth of parents

:31:37. > :31:39.are being asked to make a financial contribution to their child's

:31:40. > :31:41.school, according to a survey It comes as school leaders

:31:42. > :31:45.and teachers have voiced concerns about growing funding pressures

:31:46. > :31:47.in England's state schools. The government says school spending

:31:48. > :31:53.is at a record high. Chewing gum manufacturers

:31:54. > :31:55.are being urged to contribute to the cost of removing discarded

:31:56. > :31:57.gum from pavements. It's estimated local authorities

:31:58. > :32:00.spend as much as ?60 million The Local Government Association

:32:01. > :32:03.says the industry should also switch to biodegradable products to help

:32:04. > :32:06.tackle the problem. NASA scientists have

:32:07. > :32:08.released new global maps They say it gives us the clearest

:32:09. > :32:15.view yet of the patterns of human The maps are created by stitching

:32:16. > :32:18.together thousands of cloud free satellite images,

:32:19. > :32:34.taken over many months. I think that is our house there,

:32:35. > :32:39.with the kids living all the lights on.

:32:40. > :32:41.Are you one of those fathers who complains about lights been left on?

:32:42. > :32:58.I am. Let's talk about Brighton.

:32:59. > :33:01.I was down the rattling a bucket when they had hit hard times, but

:33:02. > :33:10.this shows how they have transformed.

:33:11. > :33:17.They have kept the squad together. Brighton are a big club now.

:33:18. > :33:26.Coventry are set about the relegation, but they can take heart.

:33:27. > :33:29.It's been a journey to the edge of oblivion and back,

:33:30. > :33:32.but Brighton are almost back in the big time, after their

:33:33. > :33:36.from Championship player of the year Anthony Knockaert,

:33:37. > :33:39.Albion stay top and will be as good as promoted,

:33:40. > :33:42.if they beat struggling Wigan, in front of their own

:33:43. > :33:45.Meanwhile, second-placed Newcastle were denied

:33:46. > :33:49.They went ahead when Jamaal Lascelles header was deemed

:33:50. > :33:53.And they held on to that lead, until the fifth minute of injury

:33:54. > :33:55.time when Chris Wood snatched an equaliser.

:33:56. > :33:58.1-1 it finished in front of more than 52 thousand at St James Park,

:33:59. > :34:05.With Premier League leaders Chelsea, not playing until tomorrow,

:34:06. > :34:07.Tottenham have the opportunity, to narrow the gap at

:34:08. > :34:13.With manager Mauricio Pochettino not letting his players think

:34:14. > :34:33.I think it is important to save energy and to be ready on Saturday

:34:34. > :34:41.to give our best and to win. What happens in different games, it can

:34:42. > :34:44.provide the opportunity to reduce the gap, but we must do our job

:34:45. > :34:47.first. There are six other games

:34:48. > :34:50.in the Premier League today. Crystal Palace host Leicester

:34:51. > :34:52.with Burnley off to Everton. Stoke face Hull, and Sunderland,

:34:53. > :34:54.ten points from safety at the bottom of the table,

:34:55. > :34:57.take on West Ham. Watford play Swansea

:34:58. > :34:58.and the tea-time match is between Southampton

:34:59. > :35:04.and Manchester City. There was one game in

:35:05. > :35:06.the Scottish Premiership last night. It finished goalless

:35:07. > :35:08.between Kilmarnock and Hearts. Fifth placed Hearts marginally had

:35:09. > :35:11.more of the game at Rugby Park, although Kris Boyd failed to make

:35:12. > :35:14.the most of this chance to win They're now six points

:35:15. > :35:21.from the danger zone. Katie Archibald has won

:35:22. > :35:23.Great Britain's first gold, at the World Track Cycling

:35:24. > :35:25.Championships in Hong Kong, It's decided by the number

:35:26. > :35:28.of points you score, The Olympic Gold medallist,

:35:29. > :35:32.was second going into the final event, which was the points race,

:35:33. > :35:35.and did enough to beat Amy Cure It's Archibald's second world title,

:35:36. > :35:39.and her first individual gold - she was part of the victorious team

:35:40. > :35:42.pursuit squad three But yeah, feel really privileged

:35:43. > :35:51.to pull it off in the end. That was an unbelievably
