Prince Harry reveals he turned to therapy to help him deal | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
with the death of his mother, Princess Diana. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
In a newspaper interview, he describes how he went | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
for counselling after coming close to a complete breakdown. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
There is actually a lot of stuff here that I need to deal with. It | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
was 20 years of not thinking about it and then two years of just total | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
chaos. The Turkish President narrowly wins | :00:37. | :00:46. | |

morning from London. I have two miniature donkeys, Gilbert and | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
Sullivan, behind me. A mixture of bright spells and showers. Some | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
wintry in the hills in the north especially. Behind them, it will | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
turn much colder. I will have more details in 15 minutes. Thanks, | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
Carol. Prince Harry has revealed he sought | :02:13. | :02:12. | |
counselling after spending nearly 20 years "not thinking" | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
about the death of his mother, In an interview with | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
The Daily Telegraph, he said it was not until his late | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
20s that he processed the grief, following two years | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
of "total chaos." With public grief on a scale rarely | :02:27. | :02:37. | |
seen before, we got very little insight into how to young boys were | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
missing there mother. Now, after two decades struggling to deal with | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Princess Diana's death, Prince Harry has told The Daily Telegraph how | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
devastating the impact was. It was around the age of 12. I shut down | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
all of my emotions for the last 20 years. It has had a quite serious | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
effect on, not only my personal life, but also my work as well. My | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
way of dealing with it was to refuse to think about my mother, because | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
why would that help? It is not going to her back. The prince said boxing | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
help them deal with aggression after he nearly punched someone. And he | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
talked about asking for professional mentor health advice. All of a | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
sudden, all of this grief I had never processed came to the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
forefront, and there was a lot of stuff I had to deal with. It was 20 | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
years of not thinking about it and then two years of total chaos. As I | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
am sure you know, someone you never have met before, a shrink, as | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Americans call them, you tell them everything. It was great. The Heads | :03:52. | :04:01. | |
Together Campaign, set up by Harry and his brother and sister-in-law | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
will be the main purpose of the charity next week. He says he spoke | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
openly about his own experience in the hope of encouraging others to | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
discuss mental health issues. Dan Johnson, BBC News. | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
Vice President, Mike Pence, has visited an American military | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
base, close to the highly fortified demilitarised zone which separates | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
It comes a day after Pyongyang's failed missile test. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
America's top security advisor, Lieutenant General HR McMaster, | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
has revealed the US is working with China on a "range of options" | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
to deal with the regime, but Mr Pence said the US wants | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
to achieve security through negotiations. | :04:43. | :04:43. | |
Our correspondent, Steve Evans, joins us from Seoul. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Steve does this mean a military response by the US has now been | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
Yeah. One of Donald Trump's advisers says it is time to look at all | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
options except military options. All of that hype and talk over the last | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
two weeks, with people speculate in about an immediate attack on North | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
Korea, seems to have done away. They need China to rein in North Korea | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
and keep economic pressure on. Mike Pence has been at the EMC. It has | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
emotional significance for him because his father fought in the | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Korean War 60 years ago. -- DMZ. He has been there talking about the | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
strength of the alliance. So it is starting to look like the old | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
policy. The big moment will come if North Korea detonates a sixth | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
nuclear device under a mountain. Then it will be make your mind up | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
time for the Donald Trump administration. Thank you, Steve | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Evans, very much indeed. Steve Evans in Seoul. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
President Erdogan of Turkey has narrowly won a referendum to vastly | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
expand his presidential powers, which could keep him | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
Welcoming the result, Mr Erdogan said he had won by 25 | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
million votes, a margin of 1.3 million, and proposed reinstating | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
But Turkey's two main opposition parties have questioned | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
the legitimacy of the vote and says it'll challenge the result. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
From the flag-waving and the fireworks, to the clattering | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
of pots and pans in protest, the reaction to this vote reveals | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
how divided Turkey is about its future. | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
It's a narrow victory, but it's one that vastly increases | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
President Erdogan will now be able to appoint several vice presidents, | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
hire and fire judges, and can now potentially stay | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
TRANSLATION: Turkey took a historic decision, | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
on a 200-year-old discussion on its constitutional system. | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
This decision is not an ordinary event. | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
This is the day on which a very important decision has been made. | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
Within hours of victory, he raised the idea of a referendum | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
on reinstating the death penalty, a move which would kill off Turkey's | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
already-slim hopes of joining the EU. | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
Opponents fear the changes amount to one-man rule, | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
There are also claims of voter fraud, after it emerged at least 1.5 | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
million votes were allowed to stand, despite not having an official | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
As a member of Nato, Turkey is viewed by the US | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
and Europe as a crucial ally to bring stability in the Middle | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
But it has been through one of its most volatile periods | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
in recent history, a failed coup attempt, and several terror attacks | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
President Erdogan says his increased powers will help him restore | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
security, but this was far from a resounding victory, | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
and it is one that leaves this country polarised. | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
Police in the US State of Ohio are hunting a man suspected | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
of posting a video on social media of him fatally shooting a stranger. | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Officers in the city of Cleveland say the suspect Steve Stephens | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
broadcast the shooting of an elderly man on the video streaming service, | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Speaking on his phone and broadcasting the conversation live | :08:01. | :08:14. | |
on Facebook, this is the moment Steve Stephens makes an | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
extraordinary confession. I just snapped, Dog, I just snapped. I just | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
killed 13 people. He approached an earlier man after getting out of his | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
car that he did not know and shot him dead. The violent killing, also | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
on Facebook. His victim, this 74-year-olds, Robert Goodwin. | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
Reports say he had just finished the Easter meal with his family. His | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
family gave their reaction. This man right here was a good man. He is | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
gone. Stephen appears in the video to confess to multiple killings, but | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
police say so far they are only aware of one death. So far, there | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
are no other victims that we know of. We have checked several other | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
locations where we got information about and so far there are no more | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
victims that we know that are tied to him. This isn't the first time a | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
serious crime has been captured on Facebook's live stream. In January, | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
the assault of an eight-year-old man was broadcast. This man is armed and | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
dangerous and police are still looking for him. Russell Trott, BBC | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
News. A specialist squad of police | :09:47. | :09:46. | |
and Prison Service staff has been formed to tackle the use of drones | :09:47. | :09:50. | |

of a barrier for those wanting The Prison Service's response has | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
been to set up a national squad of police and prison officers | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
across England and Wales, They will forensically | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
examine captured drones, like this found near | :10:28. | :10:39. | |
Pentonville Prison in London, to try and find out who was flying | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
them and share information and methods used, in an attempt | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
to curb the problem, though the Prison Service could give | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
few details about how many officers would be involved in the drone | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
squad, or how big their budget was. Even before the squad was set up, | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
there were some recent successes, with three men receiving jail | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
sentences of over four years for their roles in flying drugs | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
and phones over prison walls. United Airlines is changing | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
its policy of giving staff last-minute seats | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
on overbooked flights. It's after a passenger lost two | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
front teeth and suffered a broken nose when he was was violently | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
dragged from his seat after refusing United says staff will now be | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
allocated seats at least Until now, flying cars have been | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
the stuff of science fiction, but a Dutch start-up is claiming | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
to have made them a reality. Powered by a propeller | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
and a 100 horse power engine, the car's lift comes | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
from a rotor blade on top. It can travel at speeds of 110 miles | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
per hour in the air and 100 miles You would kind of thing that makes | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
it a helicopter. But they're unlikely | :11:44. | :11:56. | |
to catch on just yet. You need a private pilot's license | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
to fly one, and the most basic model Goodness gracious. Isn't that the | :11:59. | :12:11. | |
kind of thing James Bond had years ago? Great for beating the traffic, | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
though. Someone will tell us the James Bond film. You Only Live | :12:19. | :12:30. | |
Twice? It is all getting interesting in the sport. Chelsea had a lead of, | :12:31. | :12:37. | |

six games to go, Chelsea with six games to go, people will think, are | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Chelsea going to blow up at the last minute? It is worth noting how well | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
Manchester United played yesterday. The manager may have something to | :12:58. | :13:02. | |

but across many parts of the UK. There will be some sunshine into | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
their's forecast as well. As we start the forecast at nine o'clock | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
in Scotland, some winteriness. It will be in the hills. At lower | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
levels, a cross Shetland for example, we could see some sleet and | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
snow. For the rest of Scotland, dry until we get to the south where we | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
have showers. The Northern England, dry weather this morning and some | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
sunshine. South into East Anglia, some sunshine. Take the Midlands | :19:02. | :19:05. | |

there are also some showers. We have already had some in London. Drifting | :19:10. | :19:14. | |

there will still be some showers. Right spells at times and a bit more | :19:33. | :19:37. | |

Best screen. It's always worth seeing him just quickly to say, it | :21:00. | :21:11. | |
was You Only Live Twice, the James Bond film and Little Nelly was the | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
name of the vehicle. A petition calling for | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
the compulsory re-testing of older drivers has gathered more | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
than 265,000 signatures. whose wife was killed | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
after an elderly motorist hit his accelerator pedal | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
instead of the brakes. It's expected that the number | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
of drivers over 85 will double to one million by 2025, | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
so is there more we can do Frank has been driving for most of | :21:31. | :21:47. | |
his life. Know where you are in relation to the traffic... But | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
despite 56 years of experience behind the wheel, he feels he | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
benefits from an appraisal from time to time. None of us gets sharper as | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
we age. I can see I'm not as sharp as I was ten or 15 years ago. That | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
must apply when I'm driving a car. I think it's a good idea. This driver | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
skills scheme in Hampshire accesses are around 50 elderly people each | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
month. The aim is to keep people driving safely for longer. Drive | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
around their own area in their own car. We get our excess -- assessors | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
to go around and monitor them. They don't have to get -- give up before | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
us to early that go on while it is unsafe. Under the current system, | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
drivers have to renew their licence every three years from the age of | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
70. You will simply need one of these. A self-assessment form. You | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
decide whether or not you are fit to drive based on your health and | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
eyesight. There are no mandatory checks on your eyesight, hearing or | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
even driving and reaction times. That is well into old age. For most | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
drivers, this is not a problem but not disclosing a medical issue can | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
have devastating consequences of the you did that when you are a baby... | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
In 2012, Ben's wife was killed when working with her son Jackson. A car | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
came speeding around the corner and then struck my wife and she died at | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
the scene. When the pressure was on, when the driver had to choose | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
between accelerate and break, he wasn't able to make that decision | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
and react. He was driving in an automatic vehicle and he thought he | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
was breaking and broke harder but accelerated faster in stead. Ben is | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
campaigning for drivers to be retested every three years after the | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
age of 70. So far, an online petition has -- petition has | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
received over 200,000 that -- signatures. There needs to be a test | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
to see that we are well enough to drive. That we can react in time to | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
drive safely and regulate our own behaviour. At the moment, the | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
self-assessment system doesn't do that. Last year, experts published a | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
report setting out a national strategy to save driving into old | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
age. It made a number of recommendations including increasing | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
the age of licence renewal to 75 is proof of the -- is proof of an eye | :24:22. | :24:32. | |
test is good. As we get older, we start to suffer from frailty, | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
eyesight and hearing, problems can arise if we don't address them at an | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
early stage. Ben's petition is set to be discussed by a cross transport | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
committee after getting support from his local MP. Meanwhile, he is | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
hoping his campaign will highlight the issues are thousands of | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
families. Nobody wants to take somebody's life and has that hanging | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
over them for the rest of their life but a car is a powerful weapon in | :24:59. | :25:02. | |

to your guns. -- powerful weapon, and you need to make sure. Lots of | :25:08. | :25:21. | |
people getting in touch. I know some pretty fit 70 rods and some unfixed | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
40 -year-olds. Karen Pernell makes the point that we should all have | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
some sort of assessment every ten years as well as a compulsory eye | :25:34. | :25:37. | |

interview with Prince Harry, in which he reveals he sought | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
counselling after coming close to a breakdown over | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
the death of his mother. And the Prince has done a lot | :30:08. | :30:09. | |
to raise awareness of child mental health problems, but should classes | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
be compulsory for all children We'll hear from one man who thinks | :30:14. | :30:16. | |
they should in about an hour's time. And after an impressive medals haul | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
in Hong Kong for Britain's cyclists, we'll be speaking to, not one, | :30:22. | :30:24. | |
but two gold-medallists before But now a summary of this | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
morning's main news. Prince Harry has revealed he went | :30:28. | :30:41. | |
for counselling after spending nearly 20 years trying to not think | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
about the death of his mother. He said it was not until his late | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
20s that he processed the grief, following two years | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
of "total chaos." Prince Harry said he was inspired | :30:52. | :30:52. | |
to speak out because of his involvement with mental health | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
charity, Heads Together. With public grief on a scale rarely | :30:57. | :30:58. | |
seen before, we got very little insight into how two young boys | :30:59. | :31:14. | |
were missing their mum. Now, after two decades | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
struggling to deal with Princess Diana's death, | :31:18. | :31:19. | |
Prince Harry has told The Daily Telegraph just how big | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
and long-lasting the impact was. I can safely say after losing my mum | :31:25. | :31:39. | |
around the age of 12 and shutting down all of my emotions | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
for the last 20 years, it has had a quite serious | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
effect on, not only my personal My way of dealing | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
with it was to refuse to think about my mother, | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
because why would that help? The prince said boxing help them | :31:55. | :31:56. | |
deal with aggression And he talked about | :31:57. | :32:01. | |
asking for professional All of a sudden, all | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
of this grief I had never processed had | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
come to the forefront, and there was a lot of stuff | :32:08. | :32:09. | |
I had to deal with. It was 20 years of not | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
thinking about it and As I am sure you know, | :32:14. | :32:15. | |
a shrink, someone you never have met before, a shrink, | :32:16. | :32:21. | |
as Americans call them, The Heads Together Campaign, | :32:22. | :32:23. | |
set up by Harry and his brother and sister-in-law | :32:24. | :32:34. | |
will be the main purpose The Prince says he spoke openly | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
about his own experience in the hope of encouraging others to discuss | :32:38. | :32:43. | |
mental health issues. We will hear a much more about that | :32:44. | :32:45. | |
later in the programme. -- much. Turkey's President Erdogan has | :32:46. | :33:02. | |
vowed to press ahead with the constitutional changes | :33:03. | :33:05. | |
approved in a referendum, which vastly expand his | :33:06. | :33:07. | |
presidential powers. Mr Erdogan's victory | :33:08. | :33:08. | |

with the US Army in the Korean War, said there was an "unshakeable bond" | :33:40. | :33:42. | |
between America and South Korea. The visit comes a day | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
after Pyongyang unsuccessfully The US says it's working closely | :33:46. | :33:47. | |
with China to address More than a quarter of a million | :33:48. | :33:51. | |
people have backed a petition calling for older drivers to have | :33:52. | :34:02. | |
to retake their driving tests. It was started by Ben Brooks-Dutton, | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
whose wife was killed after an elderly motorist | :34:07. | :34:08. | |
hit his accelerator pedal instead It's expected that the number | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
of drivers over 85 will double Police in the US State of Ohio | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
are hunting a man suspected of posting a video on social media | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
of him fatally shooting a stranger. Officers in the city of Cleveland | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
say the suspect Steve Stevens claimed to have killed 12 other | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
people in a later broadcast on Facebook Live but the city's | :34:28. | :34:30. | |
Police Chief said they did not know The video of the incident has now | :34:31. | :34:33. | |
been removed by Facebook. John is here, and the Premier League | :34:34. | :34:52. | |
might not be a done deal after all. We were thinking it. Chelsea were so | :34:53. | :35:04. | |
far in front, ten points. We thought they could not be caught. Defeat the | :35:05. | :35:09. | |
Manchester United yesterday has brought the gap down to four points | :35:10. | :35:13. | |
from second placed Tottenham. Exciting. So there was a little | :35:14. | :35:19. | |
wobble yesterday. Tottenham are looking strong. Now we are wondering | :35:20. | :35:25. | |
whether they could slip up and potentially lose that one. They need | :35:26. | :35:31. | |
to drop a few points for Tottenham to get level. It is tight, but it is | :35:32. | :35:35. | |
certainly interesting. A really impressive display | :35:36. | :35:36. | |
from Manchester United, a performance that mirrored | :35:37. | :35:38. | |
the Manchester United of old. Young England striker | :35:39. | :35:40. | |
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring And United added a second | :35:41. | :35:44. | |
immediately after the break when Ander Herrera's | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
shot was deflected in. The performance was tremendous and | :35:48. | :36:15. | |
it is really hard to play against a good team like Chelsea. And at the | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
top of that, a fresh team. One that plays one match per week. We did | :36:21. | :36:26. | |
amazingly. It is not normal, this season, if Chelsea wins the title, | :36:27. | :36:32. | |
because I think we started as the underdog. We must understand this to | :36:33. | :36:39. | |
find the right solution and to reach this target. But it won't be easy. | :36:40. | :36:42. | |
It won't be easy at all. United's victory significant | :36:43. | :36:45. | |
following wins for top four rivals Manchester City on Saturday, | :36:46. | :36:48. | |
and Liverpool yesterday who beat The only goal came at the end of | :36:49. | :36:50. | |
the first half from Roberto Fermino Liverpool are third, | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
with City two points behind. You could only get 66 points. That | :36:56. | :37:11. | |
is the maximum. It feels perfect. That is what we wanted. Next week we | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
will try with all we have together and all the people at Anfield to get | :37:17. | :37:22. | |
69. We will carry on. That is what it is. If we do what we have to do, | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
yeah, we will be where we want to be. That is it. | :37:29. | :37:30. | |
A late penalty earned relegation threatened Ross County a precious | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
point against champions Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. | :37:34. | :37:35. | |
Celtic were 2-1 up with just moments remaining but gave away a penalty | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
when Alex Schalk went down in the box. | :37:40. | :37:41. | |
Liam Boyce then levelled the match at 2-2. | :37:42. | :37:43. | |
Ross County are now three points clear of the relegation play-off | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
Mercedes' recent domination of Formula One looks like it | :37:47. | :37:54. | |
could be coming to an end after Sebastian Vettel won | :37:55. | :37:57. | |
the Bahrain Grand Prix ahead of Lewis Hamilton. | :37:58. | :37:59. | |
The German started from third, behind the two Mercedes, | :38:00. | :38:01. | |
but Ferrari's smarter tyre strategy saw Vettel claim the chequered flag | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
It moves him seven points clear of Hamilton in the Drivers' | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
Valtteri Bottas was third in the other Mercedes. | :38:10. | :38:17. | |
I had a good feeling yesterday. So, for many laps it worked very well. | :38:18. | :38:28. | |
Lewis Hamilton was obviously a bit of a threat towards the end. With | :38:29. | :38:33. | |
the traffic, you never know. It was a dream. | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
A difficult race. I tried my best. 19 seconds. I gave it everything I | :38:37. | :38:44. | |
could. Ryrie did a great job today. We will try to gather raise a team | :38:45. | :38:47. | |
and come back fighting. -- Ferrari. The fighting's over for Bristol | :38:48. | :38:50. | |

at snooker's hierarchy, in particular World Snooker | :39:29. | :39:31. | |
chairman Barry Hearn. O'Sullivan received a letter | :39:32. | :39:33. | |
from disciplinary chiefs after he criticised a referee | :39:34. | :39:35. | |
and swore at a photographer back 25 years of service to this game. I | :39:36. | :39:49. | |
think I have given enough to this game. I think think I have helped | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
and done my bit. I don't need that. I don't need you and you probably | :39:54. | :39:59. | |
don't need me. I just want to enjoy my life and I am not putting up with | :40:00. | :40:04. | |
someone who feels they can bully me. Ain't happening. | :40:05. | :40:07. | |
Barry Hearn declined to comment last night, | :40:08. | :40:11. | |
but he recently told the BBC that O'Sullivan isn't treated differently | :40:12. | :40:14. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan is a great player and a great advert for our game. He | :40:15. | :40:23. | |
gets a small media and more ratings than anyone else. For that, we love | :40:24. | :40:30. | |
him and admire him for his ability. But that is where it ends. There are | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
no exceptions to people, and there cannot be. He is operating under the | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
same rules and mindset as anyone else. | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
Rounding off with a lovely bit of skill from Luke Donald. | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
Luke Donald finished second in the PGA event in South Carolina. | :40:47. | :40:50. | |
He was a stroke behind the winner Wesley Bryan from the United States. | :40:51. | :40:53. | |
Donald produced one of the shots of the day. | :40:54. | :40:54. | |
How about this for a birdie at the 11th? | :40:55. | :40:57. | |
It wasn't quite enough to earn him a victory at a tournament where he's | :40:58. | :41:03. | |
He certainly went out with a bang. Is that call day golden ferret? -- | :41:04. | :41:22. | |
called a. Is it? Spoken like a professional. Anyway, move on. Thank | :41:23. | :41:25. | |
you very much indeed. The people of Turkey have voted | :41:26. | :41:29. | |
to give extensive powers to President Erdogan | :41:30. | :41:32. | |
meaning he could remain Mr Erdogan won the referendum | :41:33. | :41:33. | |
by a narrow margin, but opposition parties say they will challenge | :41:34. | :41:38. | |
the legitimacy of up Let's have a look at exactly | :41:39. | :41:40. | |
what the new constitution The draft constitution says | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
the president will have a five-year The job of Prime Minister, | :41:45. | :41:57. | |
currently held by Binali Yildirim, The constitutional changes will also | :41:58. | :42:02. | |
widen the president's powers and he'll be able to | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
directly appoint top public The president will also | :42:08. | :42:09. | |
have the powers to intervene And decide whether or not impose | :42:10. | :42:12. | |
a state of emergency. Andrew Finkel is an author | :42:13. | :42:27. | |
and journalist and has been based Andrew, what do these | :42:28. | :42:30. | |
changes mean for Erdogan? Thank you for your time this | :42:31. | :42:45. | |
morning. Well, President Erdogan already enjoys considerable powers. | :42:46. | :42:52. | |
You have to remember that Turkey has been under a state of emergency | :42:53. | :42:55. | |
since a failed military to last July. Under those powers, he he has | :42:56. | :43:03. | |
the ability to make rules under victory. He can force the rule of | :43:04. | :43:09. | |
law. -- decree. This vote will confirm the powers he already | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
enjoys. Essentially, we are moving towards 1-man rule. It makes, well, | :43:14. | :43:23. | |
up until now, the president has been a figure above politics. He has | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
ignored those rules over the past two years. Now he will be a partisan | :43:28. | :43:32. | |
figure with impunity. I saw it described in one publication as, it | :43:33. | :43:38. | |
may well have been you who wrote it, in The Economist, that he is an | :43:39. | :43:44. | |
elected dictator, basically. That is right. It would be difficult for | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
anyone now to oppose his will. For example, there is now an appeal | :43:50. | :43:55. | |
against the electoral processes. People are claiming fraud. Mr | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
Erdogan went on to television last night and said don't bother. There | :44:00. | :44:04. | |
is no point closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. I | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
already have these powers, why bother to challenge me? Since the | :44:11. | :44:16. | |
failed coup and the powers that can do his position at that point, there | :44:17. | :44:20. | |
have been suggestions that he has clamped down pretty strongly on | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
voices of dissent and opposition. That is right. Since the two, we | :44:26. | :44:32. | |
have seen massive examples of people being fired from public office, | :44:33. | :44:37. | |
close to 150,000 people. -- coup. 40,000 of those are in jail. 150 | :44:38. | :44:42. | |
journalists are behind bars. Of course, one might argue that this is | :44:43. | :44:53. | |
not the action of a secure man. Although, Turkey, Mr Erdogan, enjoys | :44:54. | :44:56. | |
considerable powers at the moment, since the failed coup in July, he is | :44:57. | :45:02. | |
actually ruling over a much weaker country, where he actually has to | :45:03. | :45:05. | |
exercise the extraordinary powers just to keep everything in place. | :45:06. | :45:10. | |
Given the geopolitical importance of Turkey, so close to Syria, of | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
course, which we know all about, is this good for the rest of Europe and | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
for the immediate region, or not? Well, I think Europe rightly views | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
what happened yesterday with great concern because one of Mr Erdogan's | :45:25. | :45:32. | |
strategies to remain in power is to polarise the nation to really claim, | :45:33. | :45:38. | |
in this case, 50% of the population, which supports him. But he seems to | :45:39. | :45:44. | |
be applying that same strategy internationally. For example, one of | :45:45. | :45:49. | |
the first things he spoke of when he wonders referendum last night was he | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
said that Turkey would now consider bringing back the death penalty. | :45:55. | :45:57. | |
Well, it is not just ringing back the death penalty, that would be... | :45:58. | :46:02. | |
There would be negotiations with the EU, and they would break up | :46:03. | :46:08. | |
completely. It would also isolate Turkey from the Council of Europe, | :46:09. | :46:14. | |
which Turkey is a member of. They are considering the cases of jailed | :46:15. | :46:22. | |
Kurdish politicians and jailed Kurdish journalist. If they or | :46:23. | :46:26. | |
ostracised that body, they would not be held by norms of the rest of | :46:27. | :46:31. | |
Europe, which includes countries like Azerbaijan. Andrew Finkel, | :46:32. | :46:40. | |

Breakfast from BBC News. Prince Harry has revealed | :46:48. | :46:49. | |
he received counselling to help him deal with the death | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
of Princess Diana, saying he'd been close to "a complete breakdown" | :46:54. | :46:55. | |
having not processed his grief. Turkey's President Erdogan has | :46:56. | :46:58. | |
narrowly won a referendum on his plans to increase | :46:59. | :47:00. | |
the powers of the presidency, which could mean he stays | :47:01. | :47:03. | |
in office until 2029. And Carol's bringing us the weather | :47:04. | :47:11. | |
from Spitalfields City Farm Good morning. Aren't they gorgeous? | :47:12. | :47:28. | |
These are miniature donkeys, Gilbert and Sullivan, tucking into their | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
breakfast. They are only two years old. Miniature donkeys, with a bit | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
of care and love, can live until they are 50. In the olden days, they | :47:37. | :47:48. | |
were used to pull carts. All right, boys, I shall let you go off and do | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
whatever you have to do. There you go. It's a chilly start today. | :47:54. | :47:59. | |
Lovely here, the sunny starting to come out and we have seen a | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
beautiful sunrise. It's the same for many of us except for across the far | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
north. After a chilly start, there will be some sunshine around but in | :48:09. | :48:11. | |
the far North of Scotland, some showers. Some of those showers are | :48:12. | :48:17. | |
wintry. More in the hills but in Shetland, you could see some of that | :48:18. | :48:21. | |
at lower levels. For the rest of Scotland, largely dry. Parts of East | :48:22. | :48:30. | |
Anglia are also seeing some sunshine. Some of the cloud also | :48:31. | :48:42. | |
producing a few showers. Into Wales, some sunshine. The temperature at | :48:43. | :48:48. | |
Cardiff will be 10 Celsius but equally, some showers. Northern | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
Island, off to a dry and brighter start. Around nine Celsius in | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
Belfast. Through the course of the day, some sunshine. There will still | :49:00. | :49:08. | |
be some sour -- showers. Thinking -- the showers thinking southwards. It | :49:09. | :49:14. | |
will feel quite cool. Temperatures today are up to 14. Through this | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
evening and overnight, we lose the showers quite quickly. Cold air | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
follows in behind and then for all of us, a cold night. There will be | :49:24. | :49:28. | |
some Frost and it will be severe in parts of the Highlands. In towns and | :49:29. | :49:33. | |
cities to night, temperatures holding up but he ruled all areas, | :49:34. | :49:39. | |
it will be going down. It could fall down to about minus. We start off. | :49:40. | :49:52. | |
Breezy across the south-east. Showers will be few and far between. | :49:53. | :49:59. | |
As we head into Wednesday into another cold night. Gardeners and | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
rowers, be aware. It will be some frost around at all the rest of | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
England, some sunshine. For the north and west, that's where we will | :50:10. | :50:15. | |
see a bit more in a way of cloud. Temperatures up to about 15. Well, | :50:16. | :50:21. | |
and it it back to feeding these boys who are looking a bit hungry so back | :50:22. | :50:28. | |
to you. Gilbert and Sullivan look like they are very happy to be | :50:29. | :50:30. | |
company this morning. Set against a backdrop | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
of Thatcherism and industrial decline, "Letter to | :50:34. | :50:35. | |
Brezhnev" portrayed life in Liverpool from the point | :50:36. | :50:37. | |
of view of two friends - more pre-occupied with | :50:38. | :50:40. | |
partying than politics. Filmed entirely in the city, | :50:41. | :50:42. | |
for a budget of less than half-a-million pounds, | :50:43. | :50:45. | |
it became one of the most loved British films of the 1980s, | :50:46. | :50:48. | |
and was even nominated for a BAFTA. Now, more than 30 years on, | :50:49. | :50:51. | |
the cast is reuniting Our Entertainment correspondent, | :50:52. | :50:54. | |
Colin Paterson, has been Where's my doorway? Which one was | :50:55. | :51:11. | |
at, Chris? One of these. It was this one. The director, one of the stars | :51:12. | :51:16. | |
of Letter to Brezhnev, taking a trip down memory lane. Roman hands and | :51:17. | :51:32. | |
Russian fingers. It was the tiny film from Liverpool that travelled | :51:33. | :51:43. | |
the world. Here Cheers, Chris! It told a simple tale of a per of local | :51:44. | :51:47. | |
girls spending a night with Russian sailors. Set against the political | :51:48. | :51:56. | |
backdrop of the time. We were sick of seeing how the city was portrayed | :51:57. | :52:01. | |
and how the truth wasn't being told. Much like today. Thatcherism. Nobody | :52:02. | :52:12. | |
had any money. Food was on the low down. You just take a walk into any | :52:13. | :52:18. | |
back kitchen, you will see food shortages. Can't be any worse living | :52:19. | :52:26. | |
in Russia than living here. At that time, we had no industry. It had all | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
been closed down. No ships on the river, nothing was happening. From | :52:32. | :52:37. | |
Letter to Brezhnev, it gave us the film industry. Now the cast is | :52:38. | :52:41. | |
reuniting for the first time in 30 years for a special screening. | :52:42. | :52:50. | |
Celebrating on Blu-ray. A beautiful evening. It's lovely, isn't it? The | :52:51. | :53:00. | |
leading cast will be there. They have happy memories of the shoot | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
despite the minute budget and lack of catering. Somebody is mother | :53:05. | :53:16. | |
showed up with some parties. They had laid on some food at the pub for | :53:17. | :53:23. | |
us because they thought we must be starving. I have nothing to gain, | :53:24. | :53:27. | |
just you. You'll make it takes longer than a few minutes, you know? | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
And in real life, happy ending as well. We went out together for a | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
couple of years. We had an onset romance, as they say. And then we | :53:39. | :53:45. | |
were both working away a lot and drifted apart. Don't forget me, OK? | :53:46. | :53:53. | |
I will always love you. Seven years ago... We just drifted back | :53:54. | :54:00. | |
together, didn't we, darling? Are very happy ending to a very cute | :54:01. | :54:05. | |
story. But maybe it won't be the end. Muggy has dreams of a sequel. | :54:06. | :54:09. | |

driving. Which bracket has the higher accident rate? All drivers, | :54:59. | :55:09. | |
this doesn't matter what age, should be tested every ten years. If you | :55:10. | :55:14. | |

Good morning. We are in London. I am joined by Mario, a cute little | :00:59. | :01:17. | |
cockerel. The weather, dry. Some showers earlier. A chilly start. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Some showers, some will be wintry in the north. I will have more details | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
in 15 minutes. Prince Harry has revealed he sought | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
counselling after spending nearly 20 years "not thinking" | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
about the death of his mother, In an interview with | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
The Daily Telegraph, he said it was not until his late | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
20s that he processed the grief, following two years | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
of "total chaos." With public grief on a scale barely | :01:44. | :01:44. | |
seen before, we got very little insight into how two young boys | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
were missing their mum. Now, after two decades struggling | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
to deal with Diana's death, Prince Harry's told | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
The Daily Telegraph just how big I can safely say that losing my mum | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
around the age of 12 and therefore shutting down all of my emotions | :02:03. | :02:14. | |
for the last 20 years, has had a quite serious effect on, | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
on not only my personal life, My way of dealing with it was | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
refusing to ever think about my mum, | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
because why would that help? The prince said boxing help them | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
deal with aggression And he talked about asking for | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
professional mental health advice. All of a sudden, all of this grief | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
I'd never processed had come to the forefront, and I thought | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
there's a lot of stuff here I have | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
to deal with. It was 20 years of not thinking | :02:51. | :02:51. | |
about it and then two years As I am sure you know, | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
some of the best people to help you deal with it are shrinks, | :02:56. | :03:09. | |
someone you never have met before, as Americans call them, | :03:10. | :03:13. | |

about his own experience in the hope of encouraging others to discuss | :03:26. | :03:29. | |

failed missile test. America's top security advisor, | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Lieutenant General HR McMaster, has revealed the US is working | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
with China on a "range of options" to deal with the regime, | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
but Mr Pence said the US wants to achieve security | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
through negotiations. Our correspondent, Steve Evans, | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
joins us from Seoul. Mike Pence has said the US is keen | :03:53. | :04:03. | |
to avoid military solutions. He is not saying it quite as lightly as | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
that. He is basically saying to south Koreans we have an unshakeable | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
bond. That is the word he is using. People close to Trump administration | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
seemed to be backing away from this idea of immediate military action. | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
They say everything is on the table except military options. You get a | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
sense of policy being in a state of flux and becoming much more like the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Barack Obama policy. The big moment will come when and if North Korea | :04:40. | :04:50. | |
tests say six nuclear device under the mountains in the north-east. -- | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
sixth. It appears they are ready for that test. If they go ahead and do | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
it, how will the US react? That will be the big question. It is going to | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
be make up your mind is time for Donald Trump are really. -- mind. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Steve Evans in Seoul, thank you. President Erdogan of Turkey has | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
narrowly won a referendum to vastly expand his presidential powers, | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
which could keep him Welcoming the result, | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
Mr Erdogan said he had won by 25 million votes, a margin of 1.3 | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
million, and proposed reinstating But Turkey's two main opposition | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
parties have questioned the legitimacy of the vote and says | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
it'll challenge the result. From the flag-waving | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
and the fireworks, to the clattering of pots and pans in protest, | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
the reaction to this vote reveals how divided Turkey | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
is about its future. It's a narrow victory, | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
but it's one that vastly increases President Erdogan will now be able | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
to appoint several vice presidents, hire and fire judges, | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
and can now potentially stay TRANSLATION: Turkey took | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
a historic decision on a 200-year-old discussion | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
on its constitutional system. This decision is not | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
an ordinary event. This is the day on which a very | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
important decision has been made. Within hours of victory, | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
he raised the idea of a referendum on reinstating the death penalty, | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
a move which would kill off Turkey's already-slim hopes | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
of joining the EU. Opponents fear the changes | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
amount to one-man rule, There are also claims of voter | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
fraud, after it emerged at least 1.5 million votes were allowed to stand, | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
despite not having an official As a member of Nato, | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Turkey is viewed by the US and Europe as a crucial ally | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
to bring stability in the Middle But it has been through one | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
of its most volatile periods in recent history, a failed coup | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
attempt, and several terror attacks President Erdogan says his increased | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
powers will help him restore security, but this was far | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
from a resounding victory, and it is one that leaves | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
this country polarised. A specialist squad of police | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
and Prison Service staff has been formed to tackle the use of drones | :06:58. | :07:08. | |
to smuggle contraband, The officers in England and Wales | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
will study how to catch those operating the drones | :07:12. | :07:16. | |

remote-control aircraft has caused Suddenly, prison walls are not much | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
of a barrier for those wanting The Prison Service's response has | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
been to set up a national squad of police and prison officers | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
across England and Wales, They will forensically | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
examine captured drones, like this found near Pentonville, | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
to find out who was flying them and share information | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
about the types of quad copters and methods used, in an attempt | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
to curb the problem, though the Prison Service could give | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
few details about how many officers would be involved in the drone | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
squad, or how big their budget was. Even before the squad was set up, | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
there were some recent successes, with three men receiving jail | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
sentences of over four years for their roles in flying drugs | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
and phones over prison walls. Police in the US State of Ohio | :08:18. | :08:41. | |
are hunting a man suspected of posting a video on social media | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
of him fatally shooting a stranger. Officers in the city of Cleveland | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
say the suspect Steve Stephens broadcast the shooting of an elderly | :08:49. | :08:51. | |

Goodwin, 74-years-old. Reports say he had just finished | :09:43. | :09:43. | |
the Easter meal with his family. Stephens appears in the video | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
to confess to multiple killings, but police say so far | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
they are only aware of one death. Currently, there are no other | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
victims that we know of. We've checked several locations that | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
were either in the post itself or we got information | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
about and so far there are no more victims that we know that | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
are tied to Stephens. This isn't the first time a serious | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
crime has been captured In January, four people in Chicago | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
broadcasted the assault Police say this man is armed | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
and dangerous and the FBI United Airlines is changing | :10:26. | :10:38. | |
its policy of giving staff last-minute seats | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
on overbooked flights. It's after a passenger lost two | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
front teeth and suffered a broken nose when he was was violently | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
dragged from his seat after refusing United says staff will now be | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
allocated seats at least Until now, flying cars have been | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
the stuff of science fiction, but a Dutch start-up is claiming | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
to have made them a reality. Powered by a propeller | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
and a 100 horse power engine, the car's lift comes | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
from a rotor blade on top. It can travel at speeds of 110 miles | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
per hour in the air and 100 miles But they're unlikely | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
to catch on just yet. You need a private pilot's license | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
to fly one, and the most basic model Isn't it just a helicopter? | :11:17. | :11:32. | |
Actually, $300,000. The price is tumbling. | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
The United States' top security adviser has said America is working | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
with China on a "range of options" to address | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
The US Vice President, Mike Pence, has visited an American military | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
base, close to the highly fortified demilitarised zone which separates | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
America's top security advisor, Lieutenant General HR McMaster, | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
has revealed the US is working with China on a "range of options" | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
to deal with the regime, but Mr Pence said the US wants | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
to achieve security through negotiations. | :12:03. | :12:03. | |
Speaking to the ABC News network during a trip to Afghanistan, | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
Lieutenant General HR McMaster said there is now international consensus | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
that North Korea's threatening behaviour can't continue. | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
We are working together with our allies and partners and with the | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
Chinese leadership to develop a range of options. And the president | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
has asked the National Security Council to make efforts with the | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
Department of Justice and intelligence agencies to provide | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
options for him if this pattern of destabilising the region continues | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
and if the North Korean regime refuses to denuclearise, the | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
accepted objective of both the United States and Chinese | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
leadership, as well as of our allies. So it is time for us to take | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
all actions we can short of a military option to try to resolve | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
this peacefully. President Trump's National Security | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
Advisor, General McMaster speaking Let's get the thoughts now | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
of Rear Admiral Chris Parry, Thank you for joining us this | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
morning. Well, we heard phrases they are being used like a range of | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
options. -- there. Doesn't appear now that the US is backing away from | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
the immediate possibility of a military option? Well, I think the | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
military option has been considerably hyped up by different | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
media in the few days. I think the Americans have always been thinking | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
about a range of options, including what I would call the worse if | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
democracy, involving China and its allies. The military option is | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
simply there to show the Americans are now prepared to grasp the nettle | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
that should have been grasped a long time ago. General McMaster is saying | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
there is an international consensus including China now that this is a | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
situation that cannot continue. What do you take that to mean? Well, I | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
think that it means that eight years of the Obama administration just | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
marking time has come to an end. The Americans are now prepared to get | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
together with allies and other interested partners to say, look, we | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
cannot have this dangerous regime with nuclear weapons and missiles. | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Frankly, if it is a bad situation now if North Korea were to get | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
nuclear weapons, it would be infinitely worse. How will China put | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
pressure on North Korea? It is easy. They could deal with a range of | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
import and export issues. They have borrowed it closed down some of the | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
North Korean exports to China. -- already. They could also cut down on | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
oil and gas with North Korea. And they have already put brigades on | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
the border with North Korea to exert pressure. I think they could | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
actually bring the North Korean leader into a sense of reality into | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
his relation of where he sits in the world. I think we should see this as | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
more of, if you like, a symptom of crisis in the North Korean | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
leadership rather than a symptom of strength. I think we will need to | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
read the signals very carefully indeed. We have seen pictures and | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
scenes of missiles and weapons on display. How to you see North | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
Korea's military capability? -- do. People should be in no doubt that we | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
could squash North Korea very heavily indeed. The Americans may | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
have taken, obviously, a bit of a lesson from Iraq and Afghanistan, | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
but one thing the Americans are very good at is conventional war | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
fighting. When I saw one of those things travelling past on those | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
trailers, I did not see much in the way of infrastructure. It may well | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
be that some of those missiles are dummies rather than the real thing. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Donald Trump said he sent in our ride to the region. What does that | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
show as a signal of strength? -- armada. Armada is an overstatement. | :15:51. | :16:01. | |
In the past that has always been the first tool in the president's | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
toolbox. The carrier itself carries 90 warplanes, a considerable | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
strikeforce. It's destroys and missiles carry cruise missiles. -- | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
it. It is in a position to strike any target the Americans the Irene | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
range, but also useful to coerce the North Korean regime. -- are in. | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Thank you for joining us, Rear Admiral Chris Parry. | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :16:35. | :16:35. | |
Prince Harry has revealed he received counselling to help him | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
deal with the death of Princess Diana, saying he'd been | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
close to a complete breakdown, having not processed his grief. | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
Turkey's President Erdogan has narrowly won a referendum | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
on his plans to increase the powers of the presidency, | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
which could mean he stays in office until 2029. | :16:55. | :17:08. | |
We have had donkeys and a cock role. Carol has some new friends. | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
Bringing us the weather from Spitalfields City Farm | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
Good morning to you both. Beautiful bunnies with us this morning. And | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
Jenny who is the farmyard water metre. Tell us, the city farm. I | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
didn't expect to find a farm here. Is used to be a railway depot that | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
got abandoned in the late 70s. It was taken over by squatters and they | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
turned it into a allotments for food growing. Since then, they started | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
putting in chickens and ducks and -- it is. It has then becomes charity | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
status. We sell produce, have animals to teach about animal care | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
and welfare, we go out to shows and outreach work. What kind of bunnies | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
are these? There are various crossbreeds but they are all rescue | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
rabbits. Rabbits can live 8- ten years. The key for having us this | :18:21. | :18:32. | |
morning. We have had Gilbert and Sullivan, the two lovely miniature | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
donkeys. It's a chilly start to the day. Across the board. If you have | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
been tempted into the garden, as we go through this week, there will be | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
quite a bit of frost. Today, some sunshine. As we start the forecast | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
at nine o'clock in Scotland, some wintry showers. Most on the hills. | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
In Shetland, you can expect it at lower levels. For the rest of | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
Scotland, some sunshine but more sunshine in the Southern uplands at | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
the Northern England, a cold start and sunshine. Some sunshine across | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
parts of East Anglia that most of East Anglia and down towards the | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
south coast, quite a bit of cloud. From that cloud, few showers. Into | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
the south-west, some sunny spells. Temperatures in Plymouth at about | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
nine o'clock, 10 Celsius. Also shared by Cardiff. Although there is | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
some sunshine around, there is some thicker cloud and showers for Wales. | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Northern Ireland, are largely dry start to the day with temperatures | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
at about in Belfast. Through the course of the day, you will find the | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
showers across the North of Scotland moving steadily south, hitting into | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
northern England as we head through the course of the afternoon. Behind | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
them, some sunshine. This afternoon, the forecast is bright spells, some | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
sunny spells and showers with temperatures up to 14. Through this | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
evening and overnight, the showers across northern England move down | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
the east and eventually clear allowing cold air to flow in behind. | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
It will be a cold air tonight. In rural areas, temperatures below | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
freezing, as low as minus seven in some parts of the Highlands, | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
generally though, we are looking at a range from freezing to about five. | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
The cold and frosty start of the day tomorrow but with the clear skies, | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
it will also be sunny. For most of us, it will remain dry through the | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
course of the day. One shoe hours getting into a East Anglia and Kent | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
that they will be the exception rather than the rule. --1 or two | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
showers. The Wednesday, some cloud around. Southern England seeing more | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
cloud. More cloud across the north and west are generally. Again, | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
producing the odd spot. Much going in the forecast, don't forget the | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
cold nights. If you have Binny -- busy in the garden. Lots going on | :21:07. | :21:16. | |
there as well this morning. Lovely to see so many animals including | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
those sheep happily eating their breakfast behind you in the phone | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
box. I know, it's brilliant. See you later, Carol. I'm in our cherie with | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
Carol this morning. This is a story subjects that has really got you in | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
touch with us this morning. Should older drivers take a test? | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
A petition calling for the compulsory re-testing of | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
older drivers has gathered more than 265,000 signatures. | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
whose wife was killed after an elderly motorist | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
hit his accelerator pedal instead of the brakes. | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
It's expected that the number of drivers over 85 will double | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
to one million by 2025, so is there more we can do | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
Frank has been driving for most of his life. | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
Know where you are relative to as much traffic as you possibly can... | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
But despite 56 years of experience behind the wheel, | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
he feels he benefits from an appraisal from time to time. | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
I mean, I can see I'm not as sharp as I was ten or 15 years ago | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
and that must apply when I'm driving a car. | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
This driver skills scheme in Hampshire for the over 60s | :22:28. | :22:36. | |
assesses around 50 people each month. | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
The aim is to keep people driving safely for longer. | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
It's delivered from their own home in their own car. | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
We get on of our assessors to go along and sit with them | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
And then we can monitor how their driving is going so they don't | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
have to give up too early before they're ready but they don't go | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
There's no legal age to stop driving in the UK but under the current | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
system, drivers have to renew their licence every three | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
To do that, you will simply need one of these. | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
You decide whether or not you are fit to drive based | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
There are no mandatory checks on your eyesight, | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
hearing or even driving and reaction times. | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
For most drivers, this is not a problem but | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
not disclosing a medical issue can have devastating consequences. | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
You drew that when you were a baby. You drew that with Mummy. | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
In 2012, Ben's wife was killed while working | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
A car came speeding around the corner, skimmed my son's push | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
chair but then struck my wife and she died at the scene. | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
When the pressure was on, when the driver had to choose | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
between an accelerator and a brake, he wasn't able to make that | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
He was driving in an automatic vehicle and he thought | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
he was braking and as he broke harder, he was actually accelerating | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
Ben is campaigning for drivers to be retested every three years | :24:02. | :24:12. | |
So far, an online petition has received over | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
I think there needs to be some sort of test to check that we are well | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
enough to drive, that we can react in time to drive safely | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
At the moment, the self-assessment system doesn't do that. | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
Last year, leading road safety experts published a report setting | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
out a national strategy for safe driving into old age. | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
It made a number of recommendations including increasing | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
the age of licence renewal to 75 if proof of an eye test | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
Older drivers, at the age of 70, are no more likely to be involved | :24:44. | :24:53. | |
But obviously, as we do get older and start to suffer from frailty, | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
eyesight and hearing, yes, problems can arise if we don't | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
Ben's petition is set to be discussed by a cross party transport | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
committee after getting the support from his local MP. | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
Meanwhile, Ben is hoping his campaign will highlight | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
No-one wants that hanging over them for the rest of their life | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
but a car is a powerful weapon, you need to make sure | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
you are capable and that is not just about sticking to your guns | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
This is about checking that you definitely are. | :25:27. | :25:38. | |
Thank you for your comments on this this morning. Lewis from Cardiff is | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
very passionate about the subject and says everybody should be | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
retested every ten years and the money should go into infrastructure | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
to pay for fixing potholes and building new roads. Heather Dobson | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
says let's retest male drivers regularly, they have the worst | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
accident record. She also points out that just because one or two elder | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
people who rely on shopping, there is no reason to rant us all | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
incompetent. Please keep getting in touch with us. | :26:13. | :26:13. | |

We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, | :30:14. | :30:16. | |
We'll have more on that interview with Prince Harry, | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
in which he reveals he sought counselling after coming close | :30:21. | :30:23. | |
to a breakdown over the death of his mother. | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
He said he experienced two years of total chaos following 12 years of | :30:28. | :30:35. | |

And the Prince has done a lot to raise awareness of child mental | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
health problems, but should classes be compulsory for all children | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
There's actually a lot of stuff here I need to deal with. | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
It was 20 years of not thinking about it and then two years | :30:48. | :30:51. | |

analysis. North Korea should be in no doubt that the Americans have the | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
capability to squash North Korea heavily. The North Koreans may have | :31:42. | :31:47. | |
taken a bit of a lesson from Iraq and Afghanistan. But the Americans | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
are great at war fighting. When I saw one of those missiles trundling | :31:54. | :31:58. | |

us this morning. Tell us more about this result. 51% said yes, 48% said | :32:26. | :32:33. | |
no. This is a knife-edge result showing how polarised this country | :32:34. | :32:40. | |
has become. It was already polarised leading into the referendum. Now it | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
feels more deeply divided than ever. President Erdogan said the nation | :32:45. | :32:50. | |
has decided in the nation has spoken. He said that the yes vote, | :32:51. | :32:55. | |
the yes result, would bring stability to the country, if the | :32:56. | :33:02. | |
proposed constitutional changes went through. However, with such a | :33:03. | :33:07. | |
result, and with the opposition campaign, the campaigns for no, | :33:08. | :33:20. | |
saying there was rigging, this is not something that will quell | :33:21. | :33:28. | |
critics. There were protests and jubilant celebrations last night. It | :33:29. | :33:35. | |
is unknown whether President Erdogan will be a figure to unite the | :33:36. | :33:40. | |
nation. The EU is calling for a public consensus could be reached on | :33:41. | :33:45. | |
whether President Erdogan, who has been this polarising figure ever | :33:46. | :33:53. | |
since he took power, whether he could make any concessions to the no | :33:54. | :33:59. | |
campaign. But following the steps he has taken so far, it does not seem | :34:00. | :34:02. | |
very realistic. Thank you. Police in the US State of Ohio | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
are hunting a man suspected of posting a video on social media | :34:07. | :34:09. | |

say the suspect Steve Stevens claimed to have killed 12 other | :34:13. | :34:15. | |

you. United Airlines is changing | :35:36. | :35:42. | |
its policy of giving staff last-minute seats | :35:43. | :35:44. | |
on overbooked flights. It's after a passenger lost two | :35:45. | :35:45. | |
front teeth and suffered a broken nose when he was was violently | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
dragged from his seat after refusing United says staff will now be | :35:50. | :35:52. | |
allocated seats at least Until now, flying cars have been | :35:53. | :35:56. | |
the stuff of science fiction, but a Dutch start-up is claiming | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
to have made them a reality. Powered by a propeller | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
and a 100 horse power engine, the car's lift comes | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
from a rotor blade on top. It can travel at speeds of 110 miles | :36:07. | :36:08. | |
per hour in the air and 100 miles But they're unlikely | :36:09. | :36:13. | |
to catch on just yet. You need a private pilot's license | :36:14. | :36:17. | |
to fly one, and the most basic model It looks like a James Bond film. If | :36:18. | :36:29. | |
you have both of those things, why not? Coming up, the Bank Holiday | :36:30. | :36:39. | |
weather. Now for the sport. Manchester United are celebrating. | :36:40. | :36:45. | |
Tottenham perhaps were really celebrating their win over Chelsea. | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
Yes. It boosts their chances for qualification. At the top of the | :36:51. | :36:56. | |
table, the Premier League title race, it is very much on between | :36:57. | :37:01. | |
Chelsea and Tottenham. The gap was ten points at one stage. Chelsea had | :37:02. | :37:08. | |
such a big advantage that many thought it was a done deal. Now it | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
is down to four points. That opens the door for Tottenham. Six games | :37:13. | :37:18. | |
remaining. Chelsea need to lose one and draw one out of the six games | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
remaining. It could get very interesting. People are watching | :37:23. | :37:25. | |
these matches thinking, could Chelsea lose this? It is very | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
interesting. A really impressive display | :37:29. | :37:29. | |
from Manchester United, a performance that mirrored | :37:30. | :37:31. | |
the Manchester United of old. Young England striker | :37:32. | :37:33. | |
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring And United added a second | :37:34. | :37:37. | |
immediately after the break when Ander Herrera's | :37:38. | :37:40. | |
shot was deflected in. The performance was tremendous | :37:41. | :37:42. | |
and it is really hard to play And at the top of | :37:43. | :37:58. | |
that, a fresh team. It is not normal, this season, | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
if Chelsea wins the title, because I think we started | :38:03. | :38:18. | |
as the underdog. We must understand this | :38:19. | :38:20. | |
to find the right solution Antonio Conte says he has a 50-50 | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
chance of his side winning. United's victory significant | :38:24. | :38:43. | |
following wins for top four rivals Manchester City on Saturday, | :38:44. | :38:45. | |
and Liverpool yesterday who beat The only goal came at the end of | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
the first half from Roberto Fermino Liverpool are third, | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
with City two points behind. Next week we will try | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
with all we have together and all the people | :38:57. | :39:04. | |
at Anfield to get 69. If we do what we have to do, yeah, | :39:05. | :39:06. | |
we will be where we want to be. A late penalty earned relegation | :39:07. | :39:13. | |
threatened Ross County a precious point against champions Celtic | :39:14. | :39:22. | |
in the Scottish Premiership. Celtic were 2-1 up with just moments | :39:23. | :39:23. | |
remaining but gave away a penalty when Alex Schalk went | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
down in the box. Liam Boyce then levelled | :39:28. | :39:29. | |
the match at 2-2. Ross County are now three points | :39:30. | :39:32. | |
clear of the relegation play-off Mercedes' recent domination | :39:33. | :39:34. | |
of Formula One looks like it could be coming to an end | :39:35. | :39:41. | |
after Sebastian Vettel won the Bahrain Grand Prix | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
ahead of Lewis Hamilton. The German started from third, | :39:45. | :39:46. | |
behind the two Mercedes, but Ferrari's smarter tyre strategy | :39:47. | :39:48. | |
saw Vettel claim the chequered flag It moves him seven points clear | :39:49. | :39:51. | |
of Hamilton in the Drivers' Valtteri Bottas was third | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
in the other Mercedes. So, for many laps it | :39:57. | :40:16. | |
worked very well. Lewis Hamilton was obviously a bit | :40:17. | :40:19. | |
of a threat towards the end. We will try to gather a team | :40:20. | :40:22. | |
and come back fighting. The fighting's over for Bristol | :40:23. | :40:49. | |
in Rugby Union's Premiership. The south-west side relegated | :40:50. | :40:51. | |

they've secured themselves a home Sunday's other match was a thriller, | :40:55. | :40:59. | |

Gary Wilson ten frames to seven, his win included the highest | :41:21. | :41:23. | |
break of the tournament After the match, he hit out | :41:24. | :41:26. | |
at snooker's hierarchy, in particular World Snooker | :41:27. | :41:29. | |
chairman Barry Hearn. O'Sullivan received a letter | :41:30. | :41:31. | |
from disciplinary chiefs after he criticised a referee | :41:32. | :41:33. | |
and swore at a photographer back I think I have given | :41:34. | :41:36. | |
enough to this game. I think think I have | :41:37. | :41:48. | |
helped and done my bit. I don't need you and you | :41:49. | :41:51. | |
probably don't need me. I just want to enjoy my life | :41:52. | :41:55. | |
and I am not putting up with someone Barry Hearn declined | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
to comment last night, but he recently told the BBC that | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
O'Sullivan isn't treated differently Ronnie O'Sullivan is a great player | :42:05. | :42:07. | |
and a great advert for our game. He gets a small media and more | :42:08. | :42:16. | |
ratings than anyone else. For that, we love him | :42:17. | :42:19. | |
and admire him for his ability. There are no exceptions to people, | :42:20. | :42:22. | |
and there cannot be. He is operating under the same rules | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
and mindset as anyone else. Luke Donald finished second | :42:27. | :42:40. | |
in the PGA event in South Carolina. He was a stroke behind the winner | :42:41. | :42:43. | |
Wesley Bryan from the United States. Donald produced one | :42:44. | :42:47. | |
of the shots of the day. How about this for | :42:48. | :42:49. | |
a birdie at the 11th? It wasn't quite enough to earn him | :42:50. | :42:52. | |
a victory at a tournament where he's He would be pleased with that shot. | :42:53. | :43:14. | |
What is it called? A golden ferret. I drag it up from memory banks. I | :43:15. | :43:24. | |
thought it was great. Thank you to the golfers who have confirmed for | :43:25. | :43:25. | |
me. Prince Harry's comments this morning | :43:26. | :43:37. | |
have put mental health to the top of the news agenda. So what about those | :43:38. | :43:44. | |
from the age of five? 25 clinical psychologists have signed a petition | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
to the Times saying they should introduce the subject of a young age | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
in schools to fix early access to help. We have some people coming in | :43:54. | :44:02. | |
to talk about this. This man has experience with those around five | :44:03. | :44:07. | |
with mental health. Thank you for your time. Adam, you suffered with | :44:08. | :44:16. | |
mental health problems. The age of five. How did you know? How did they | :44:17. | :44:22. | |
manifest themselves? I knew something wasn't right. I suffered | :44:23. | :44:25. | |
from intrusive thoughts. I thought it was mental health. There was no | :44:26. | :44:32. | |
education around it. I could not confide in anyone. I did not know | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
what was happening. It was never mentioned at school or by my | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
parents. Generation after generation is let down because we don't | :44:41. | :44:47. | |
encourage conversation. In the 80s and 90s, the only times I heard | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
about mental health was on the news, and it was usually something tragic | :44:52. | :44:54. | |
happening, like somebody killing somebody else. It is fear. It was | :44:55. | :45:01. | |
mental torture. A lot of children, a lot of children, three in every | :45:02. | :45:08. | |
classroom, are going through something like this. You want | :45:09. | :45:10. | |
compulsory lessons in schools? We must make it compulsory. It | :45:11. | :45:30. | |
filters right through to the NHS. Anybody who has children who has a | :45:31. | :45:37. | |
passion about mental health, we have 60,000 signatures already. Go to our | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
website Facebook page and sign the petition. You need to get so the | :45:43. | :45:49. | |
hunt -- government can debate it. Sherborne, you are a head teacher in | :45:50. | :45:56. | |
our studio in Cardiff. As we know, budgets are stretched. D think this | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
is a good idea? I think anything that raises the profile of | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
children's health and well-being is good. Times have changed since your | :46:07. | :46:11. | |
guests a story about his experiences. Schools are well | :46:12. | :46:16. | |
equipped for dealing with children's mental health. I do fear that a | :46:17. | :46:25. | |
single lesson is not really going to address the depth of the issues. | :46:26. | :46:28. | |
Children's mental health issues are deeper and more profound than that. | :46:29. | :46:34. | |
I'm worried that this could become a seeking plaster approach. -- | :46:35. | :46:41. | |
sticking plaster. Schools have provisions that they pay for within | :46:42. | :46:44. | |
their school budgets and those are under serious threat at the moment | :46:45. | :46:49. | |
from the most stringent jet cuts that schools have faced in a | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
generation. If there was a compulsory lesson, it would put it | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
on the curriculum and put it out that, wouldn't it? Really raising | :46:58. | :47:04. | |
the profile. It would. But a single lesson that might be covered every | :47:05. | :47:11. | |
so often is not going to put it high profile. What puts it more high | :47:12. | :47:14. | |
profile is the approach that schools are trying to use at present which | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
is to incorporate a values -based education which would look at skills | :47:19. | :47:23. | |
like resilience, skills like independence, being happy. We would | :47:24. | :47:27. | |
build those into lessons on a much more regular basis than just a | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
single 1-off lesson every now and again. Again, that is under pressure | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
in the curriculum which is narrowing the agenda for children and | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
narrowing the curriculum experience and leaving less time for teachers | :47:41. | :47:44. | |
to be able to address those issues in the extent they really want to. | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
We have heard today about Prince Harry talking about his mental | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
health problems. If anybody of that kind of standing talks about this, | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
you would welcome it. Am so pleased he came out and said this today. | :47:58. | :48:02. | |
That's just the thing. He is an example of what is going wrong with | :48:03. | :48:06. | |
society and mental health because it has shown that for the last 20 | :48:07. | :48:11. | |
years, he kept it to himself until he got to breaking point and that's | :48:12. | :48:14. | |
what's going on with society and mental health at the moment. I agree | :48:15. | :48:18. | |
with your other speaker that there is a lot of pressure on teachers and | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
teachers need to be heroes so the government needs to support the | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
teachers to do this. It has to be compulsory and there is no excuse. | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
It is as fundamental as reading and writing. It is a life skill. It | :48:31. | :48:34. | |
touches everything. Prince Harry coming out is a wonderful thing and | :48:35. | :48:39. | |
it highlights where the failings are because Prince Harry didn't receive | :48:40. | :48:41. | |
any mental health education. That's why he got to the point of 20 years | :48:42. | :48:50. | |
and not speaking to somebody. He got to breaking point like all I got to. | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
The only way we can do that is to make it compulsory. Thank you to you | :48:55. | :48:56. | |
both. And Carol's bringing us the weather | :48:57. | :48:57. | |
from Spitalfields City Farm Lots of very friends, Carol. | :48:58. | :49:11. | |
Surrounded by goats. It is Hamish but there is lots of different | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
types. The black and white ones, they are all heading over there to | :49:17. | :49:22. | |
have some breakfast with their hay. The Golden Guernsey goats as well. | :49:23. | :49:28. | |
Generally, goats live between 8- 12 years and their ages determined by | :49:29. | :49:31. | |
their teeth. They were one of the first animals tamed by humans is an | :49:32. | :49:36. | |
interesting fact about them is that there pupils are rectangular and it | :49:37. | :49:43. | |
gives vision 320- 340 degrees. When you hint -- thinking human's vision | :49:44. | :49:55. | |
is 160- 160, it is not bad. They have good balance and they are well | :49:56. | :49:59. | |
caught naked. I think I might get one. Let's show you Hamish again. He | :50:00. | :50:05. | |
is cute. He they have been eating these branches. They all had lots of | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
flowers and they have in strict. The weather, the weather this morning is | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
a chilly start the day, wherever you are. The temperature will rise as | :50:15. | :50:18. | |
the sun gets up but for many of us, there will be some showers around | :50:19. | :50:22. | |
today as well as the sunshine. We start the forecast at nine o'clock | :50:23. | :50:25. | |
in Scotland. There is showers across the North. We also have winteriness | :50:26. | :50:31. | |
coming out of those showers, especially up the hill. At Shetland, | :50:32. | :50:36. | |
even lower levels. For the rest of Scotland, largely dry but in the | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
Southern uplands, further showers. Across northern England, a lot of | :50:41. | :50:43. | |
sunshine around this morning but it is a cool start. As it comes start, | :50:44. | :50:47. | |
you can see how the cloud builds with showers so parts of East Anglia | :50:48. | :50:51. | |
seeing some early sunshine. Along the south Coast, once again, | :50:52. | :50:55. | |
variable amounts of cloud, some showers and sunshine. For Wales, a | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
few showers around as well. Out of the showers, it is dry and bright. | :51:01. | :51:05. | |
Or Northern Ireland this morning, we are again looking at a bright start | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
with highs lows of nine Celsius in Belfast. As we go through the course | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
of the day, the showers are crossed Scotland migrate southwards and by | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
the afternoon, they get into northern England. Behind them, a lot | :51:18. | :51:21. | |
of sunshine. England, Wales and Northern Ireland, we are looking at | :51:22. | :51:25. | |
showers, bright spells and sunshine with highs of up to 14 Celsius. If | :51:26. | :51:30. | |
you are in the breeze, it will feel cool. Through this evening and | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
overnight, you will find the showers in northern England continuing | :51:35. | :51:36. | |
moving southwards across eastern parts of England and behind them, we | :51:37. | :51:41. | |
will see cold air following on. It is going to be a cold night and in | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
towns and cities, temperatures stay above freezing but in the | :51:46. | :51:59. | |
countryside, they will fall below. For some of us, well below. For | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
example in the Highlands, we see minus 5- minus seven. Generally, the | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
range of freezing to about minus five. A frosty start of the day | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
tomorrow, a cold start at a dry one. There will be a lot of sunshine | :52:11. | :52:13. | |
around and breezy across the south-east tomorrow. Rather like | :52:14. | :52:16. | |
today, temperatures will get up to about 14. That leads us on into | :52:17. | :52:19. | |
Wednesday. For Wednesday across Central parts of England, we start | :52:20. | :52:23. | |
off on a cold and frosty note with some sunshine. There will be a bit | :52:24. | :52:26. | |
more cloud across the south, the North and the West. That cloud will | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
be thick enough here and there for the odd shower and temperatures | :52:31. | :52:33. | |
again into the mid-teens at best. Bear in mind, for the next few | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
nights, there would be frost around so if you are a farmer, a grower or | :52:38. | :52:41. | |
have just been in the garden, watch out for the tender plants. A quick | :52:42. | :52:47. | |
peek behind me. Not many goats left but Hamish is still there. Hello, | :52:48. | :52:49. | |
little man. Thank you, Carol. You made a real | :52:50. | :52:51. | |
friend stay with Hamish. --A friend. Set against a backdrop | :52:52. | :52:58. | |

friends - more pre-occupied Filmed entirely in the city, | :53:04. | :53:06. | |
for a budget of less than half-a-million pounds, | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
it became one of the most loved British films of the 1980s, | :53:11. | :53:12. | |
and was even nominated for a BAFTA. Now, more than 30 years on, | :53:13. | :53:15. | |
the cast is reuniting Our Entertainment correspondent, | :53:16. | :53:18. | |
Colin Paterson, has been The director and one of the stars | :53:19. | :53:22. | |
of Letter to Brezhnev, Talk about Roman hands | :53:23. | :53:32. | |
and Russian fingers. It was the tiny film from Liverpool | :53:33. | :53:52. | |
that travelled the world. It told a simple tale of a pair | :53:53. | :53:58. | |
of local girls spending a night Set against the political | :53:59. | :54:04. | |
backdrop of the time. We were sick of seeing how the city | :54:05. | :54:18. | |
was portrayed and how the truth It was getting battered by | :54:19. | :54:21. | |
Thatcherism. You just take a walk | :54:22. | :54:30. | |
into any back kitchen, Can't be any worse living | :54:31. | :54:36. | |
in Russia than living here. No ships on the river, | :54:37. | :54:49. | |
nothing was happening. From Letter to Brezhnev, | :54:50. | :54:56. | |
it gave us the film industry. Now the cast is reuniting | :54:57. | :54:59. | |
for the first time in 30 years Peter Firth who will go on to play | :55:00. | :55:02. | |
Harry in Spooks and Alexandra Pigg. They have happy memories | :55:03. | :55:21. | |
of the shoot despite the minute Somebody's mother turned up | :55:22. | :55:24. | |
with a tray of butties. There was a pub we were filming | :55:25. | :55:28. | |
outside and they'd laid on a pan of scouse for us because they | :55:29. | :55:35. | |
thought we must be starving. I want you, Elaine, | :55:36. | :55:37. | |
I want you to marry me. I have nothing to gain, | :55:38. | :55:40. | |
nothing, just you. It takes a bit longer | :55:41. | :55:42. | |
than a few minutes, you know? And in real life, there's | :55:43. | :55:45. | |
a happy ending too. We actually went out together | :55:46. | :55:48. | |
for a couple of years. We had an onset romance, | :55:49. | :55:51. | |
as they say in the business. And that spread out for a couple | :55:52. | :55:56. | |
of years, didn't it. But then we were both working away | :55:57. | :55:59. | |
a lot and drifted apart. Seven years ago, we | :56:00. | :56:02. | |
realised that perhaps... We just drifted back together again, | :56:03. | :56:12. | |
didn't we, darling? So, it's a very happy ending | :56:13. | :56:14. | |

to therapy to help him deal with the death of his mother - | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Princess Diana. In a newspaper interview, | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
he describes how he went for counselling after coming close | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
to a complete breakdown. There is actually a lot of stuff | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
here I needed to deal with. There was 20 years of not thinking about | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
it and then to make of total chaos. -- two years of total chaos. | :01:01. | :01:08. | |

in the middle of London. I have two pigs with me, Holmes and Watson. It | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
is a chilly start from many of us, but there will be sunshine and also | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
some showers, some wintry. More details in 15 minutes. You are | :02:24. | :02:24. | |
having a busy morning! Prince Harry has revealed he sought | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
counselling after spending nearly 20 years "not thinking" about the death | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
of his mother, Princess Diana. In an interview with | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
the Daily Telegraph, he said it was not until his late | :02:37. | :02:37. | |
20s that he processed the grief, following two | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
years of "total chaos". With public grief on a scale barely | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
seen before, we got very little insight into how two young boys | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
were missing their mum. Now, after two decades struggling | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
to deal with Diana's death, Prince Harry's told | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
The Daily Telegraph just how big I can safely say that losing my mum | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
around the age of 12 and therefore shutting down all of my emotions | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
for the last 20 years, has had a quite serious effect on, | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
on not only my personal life, My way of dealing with it was | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
refusing to ever think about my mum, The prince said boxing helped him | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
deal with aggression And he talked about asking for | :03:24. | :03:36. | |
professional mental health advice. All of a sudden, all of this grief | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
I'd never processed had come to the forefront, and I thought | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
there's a lot of stuff here I have It was 20 years of not thinking | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
about it and then two years As I am sure you know, | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
some of the best people to help you deal with it are shrinks, | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
someone you never have met before, as Americans call them, | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
you tell them everything. The Heads Together Campaign, | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
set up by Harry and his brother and sister-in-law will be the main | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
charity at next week's London The Prince says he spoke openly | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
about his own experience in the hope of encouraging others to discuss | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
mental health issues. President Erdogan of Turkey has | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
narrowly won a referendum to vastly expand his presidential powers, | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
which could keep him His victory was narrower | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
than expected. Election officials say he took 51 | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
and a half per cent of the vote. But Turkey's two main opposition | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
parties have questioned the result From the flag-waving | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
and the fireworks, to the clattering of pots and pans in protest, | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
the reaction to this vote reveals how divided Turkey | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
is about its future. It's a narrow victory, | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
but it's one that vastly increases President Erdogan will now be able | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
to appoint several vice presidents, hire and fire judges, | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
and can now potentially stay TRANSLATION: Turkey took | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
a historic decision on a 200-year-old discussion | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
on its constitutional system. This decision is not | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
an ordinary event. This is the day on which a very | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
important decision has been made. Within hours of victory, | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
he raised the idea of a referendum on reinstating the death penalty, | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
a move which would kill off Turkey's already-slim hopes | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
of joining the EU. Opponents fear the changes | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
amount to one-man rule, As a member of Nato, | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
Turkey is viewed by the US and Europe as a crucial ally | :05:52. | :06:01. | |
to bring stability in the Middle But it has been through one | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
of its most volatile periods in recent history, a failed coup | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
attempt, and several terror attacks President Erdogan says his increased | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
powers will help him restore security, but this was far | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
from a resounding victory, and it is one that leaves | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
this country polarised. The US Vice President, Mike Pence, | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
has visited the demilitarised zone which separates North and South | :06:19. | :06:28. | |
Korea. It comes a day after Pyongyang's | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
failed missile test. America's top security advisor, | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
General McMaster, has revealed He addressed the troops and said | :06:36. | :06:48. | |
that the period of strategic patience was over. We commend them | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
for their vigilance, here, along this historic frontier of freedom, | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
and we express the resolve of the people of the United States of | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
America to stand together in the months and years ahead with the | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
people of South Korea to both preserve their freedom and ensure | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
the objective of a Korean peninsula without nuclear weapons. Our | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
correspondent Steve Evans joins us from South Korea. How was the visit | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
being seen there? On the streets, life goes on. It is almost as if | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
people are used to the kind of threats that come from Pyongyang. | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
There was a food festival going on. Mike Pence has been emphasising in | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
the last few minutes just how solid he thinks this alliance is. Before | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
the election, Mr Trump seemed to cast doubt on the alliance with | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
South Korea and with Japan. Mike Pence is here to say, have no | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
doubts, it is 100% support, the alliance is ironclad. He said to | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
North Korea, if you attack, there will be an overwhelming response. Do | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
not test the resolve of the president, was the way he put it. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
What remains completely unclear is how the US and South Korea planned | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
to derail North Korea's nuclear efforts. He is calling on them and | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
threatening them, but it's not quite clear how he's going to achieve what | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Obama, Bush and Clinton could not. Steve, thanks very much. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
Police in the US state of Ohio are hunting a man suspected | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
of posting a video on social media of him fatally shooting a stranger. | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
Officers in the city of Cleveland say the suspect, Steve Stevens, | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
claimed to have killed 12 other people in a later broadcast | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
on Facebook Live but the city's police chief said they did not know | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
There are no other victims that we know of. We have checked. There are | :09:07. | :10:22. | |
no more victims that we know that are tied to this. This is not the | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
first time that a serious crime has been captured on Facebook's | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
lifestream. In January, four people in Chicago broadcasted the assault | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
of an 18-year-old man. Police warn that Steve Stevens is armed and | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
dangerous and the FBI have joined the hunt for him. | :10:39. | :10:41. | |

Drugs and mobile phones are highly sought after in UK prisons, | :11:31. | :11:48. | |
so much so that some criminals are using drones to get | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
contraband over the walls and into prisoners' hands. | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
In response, a specialist squad of prison and police | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
officers has been formed to counteract the threat. | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
For more on this, let's speak to John Podmore, | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
former head of the Prison Service's anti-corruption unit. | :12:00. | :12:09. | |
How big a problem is this at the moment in our prisons? Well, the | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
latest figures from the probation service suggest there were something | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
like 33 incidents in 12 months. The service said it would be a world | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
leader in evidence -based policy, but I don't see any evidence for | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
drones being a problem. It will be a method for drugs and mobile phones | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
are getting, but not that many. The Prison Service said it finds | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
something like 10,000 mobile phones a year. They have not come in from | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
33 drones. They are not difficult to spot. They are noisy and intrusive. | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
I am on record as saying if we are looking at contraband coming into | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
prisons, the primary route is through a very small but | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
disproportionately effective group of corrupt staff, and if resources | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
are going into tackling contraband, they should be going into corruption | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
prevention. The drone thing strikes me as a bit of a red herring, to be | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
honest. The Ministry of Justice has said it is vigilant to prison | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
corruption, investing ?3 million in a new intelligence unit looking at | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
corruption strategy. I suppose, with the drones, the pictures that we | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
have are so dramatic, in a way, and certainly it has been in the | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
headlines quite a lot, the use of drones, because you seem to see them | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
almost delivering what ever the contraband is to somebody's window. | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
It looks exciting, it's dramatic, and that's why it hits the | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
headlines. I've never flown a drone, but I would suspect it would be very | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
difficult to negotiate a drone direct to a window to hand something | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
over. If that did happen, one hopes that prison authorities would hear | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
it, would see where it was being delivered and maybe go to that | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
place, search and take the contraband. It is a bit of a red | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
herring. Certainly, I would welcome better police - prison cooperation. | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
A few years ago, there were some senior secondments of police | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
officers into prison headquarters to tackle a range of issues, including | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
corruption. That was abolished, which I think was a retrograde step. | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
If something is coming forward that is better at getting police and | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
prisons working together to tackle the problem, that is to be welcomed. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
So, that is where you would like to see the emphasis. What do you think | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
is key to tackling that corruption, as you put it? It is about | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
acknowledging the problem. We're talking about a very small number of | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
staff. Of that small number, I would say very few of those are corrupt | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
and have criminal intent. Many become corrupt because they are | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
threatened, intimidated, blackmailed, so we need policies in | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
place to support staff. When I was working in prevention, staff and | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
unions welcomed the attention given to corruption. It is not just | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
officers, the workforce in prisons is very varied - doctors, teachers, | :15:25. | :15:34. | |
nurses, Chapmans, volunteers. -- priests and volunteers. They are all | :15:35. | :15:46. | |
vulnerable to becoming involved in bringing contraband into prison. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
This concentration on drones, I think is a distraction. Thank you | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
very much for your thoughts. And Carol's bringing us the weather | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
from Spitalfields City Farm She's gorgeous, isn't she! She's | :15:58. | :16:15. | |
called Lily. I am joined by Jenny, the farm co-ordinator. Why are you | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
feeding her? She is five days old, she was sadly abandoned, rejected by | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
her mother. We have been on hand to bottle feed her for the last few | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
days. She is the cutest wee thing. She's very sweet and we have had | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
lots of offers to be her mum. We have the milk in the bottle now. | :16:38. | :16:47. | |
What is it, cow's milk? A mix of mum's own milk and milk specially | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
made for sheep. Will she be reunited with her mum? She will be introduced | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
to groups and has a sibling to play with soon. I have been kissing her | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
all morning and I could carry on. Thanks, Jenny. The weather is not so | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
beautiful. At the moment we have a bit of cloud here in London and it | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
has been a chilly start to the day too. | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
That's the forecast for many parts of the UK. It's a chilly start, and | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
we are also going to look at some sunny spells. | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
There are also some showers. This morning across Scotland in the north | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
there are some showers. They're mostly over lower levels, perhaps | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
sleet but falling as snow on modest hills and at low levels in Shetland. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
For the rest of Scotland sunshine until the southern uplands, then | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
some showers. For northern England, a chilly start but a sunny one. | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
Further south there is quite a bit of cloud around with one or two | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
brighter breaks particularly across East Anglia. The cloud is thick | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
enough for those showers this morning and as we drift across | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
southern Counties to the south-west of England again we hang on to a bit | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
of cloud with one or two brighter breaks. A little bit of sunshine | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
coming through. For Wales, South Wales seeing some sunshine, but for | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
much of Wales it's a cloudy start again with some showers. Across | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
Northern Ireland, a cloudy start with some bright spells but it's | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
mostly dry for you. Through the day the showers across | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
northern Scotland will sink southwards getting into northern | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
England by the afternoon. It will brighten up with sunshine behind | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
them. The forecast for most of the UK is one of bright spells, meaning | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
bits of cloud at times, or sunny intervals and a few showers. | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
Temperatures up to 14. Through this evening and overnight the showers | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
across northern England will continue to slip southwards, down | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
the east coast of England, eventually clearing allowing cold | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
air to push in behind. It is going to be a cold night with clear skies, | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
temperatures in towns and cities staying in single figures but in the | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
countryside they will be below freezing, in fact, widely below | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
freezing. We are looking at a range zero to minus five. So, severe | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
frost. If you have been out planting, bear that in mind. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Tomorrow clear skies and a lot of sunshine. Also breezy across the | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
south-east, here we could see the odd shower but most of us won't. | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
Temperatures again up to 14. That leads us into Wednesday. | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
Central parts of England again getting off to a cold start with | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
frost. Here too there will be some sunshine. Across southern Counties, | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
Northern Ireland, northern England, Scotland, parts of Wales, there will | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
be a bit more cloud around. I need to go back and join Jenny with this | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
cute little lamb. Back to you both. Prince Harry was just 12 years old | :19:40. | :20:05. | |
when he lost his mother in a car crash and has rarely talked about | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
how the experience shaped him, until now. In an interview he's detailed | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
his struggles with mental health issues following Princess Diana's | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
death and admitted to experiencing two years of total chaos before | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
seeking counselling. Let's hear a bit of that interview. I can say | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
losing my mum at the age of 12 and shutting down all my emotions for | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
the last 20 years has had a quite serious effect on, not only my | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
personal life but also my work, as well. My way of dealing was it was | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
refusing to think about my mum, because why would that help? It's | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
only going to make you sad, it's not going to bring her back. All of a | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
sudden this grief I had never processed had to come to the | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
forefront and there was a lot of stuff I needed to deal with. It was | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
20 years of not thinking about it and then two years of total chaos. | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
It's a fascinating process, for me, that I have been through, not just | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
personally but all the people that I get to meet. So fortunate to get to | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
meet these people who have literally turned their lives around and it's | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
all part of a conversation, being able to talk to a brother, a sister, | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
a parent, a colleague or a complete stranger. As I am sure you know, | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
some of the easiest people to speak to is a shrink or whoever the | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
Americans call a shrink, or someone to just listen and let it all rip. | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
You have done that? More than a couple of times, it's great! | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
The columnist Bryony Gordon, who did that interview, | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
Thank you for taking the time to talk to us this morning. Given this | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
is something that Harry has struggled with for so many years how | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
difficult did you sense he found actually doing that interview with | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
you and talking about it? I think he found it really difficult. I mean, | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
he said to me at the beginning his chest was feeling quite tight, he | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
was feeling nervous and I had to say don't worry, I don't bite. It was a | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
big step and I was shocked when he started to say all this stuff, I | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
thought maybe he would talk generally about the importance of | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
talking about mental health and he was incredibly candid and it was | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
astonishing and I am so, I can't say I am proud of him because we are not | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
friends, I don't really know him that well, only met a few times but | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
it's such an incredible thing for someone of his profile to be talking | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
openly about their mental health, it's a huge, huge, huge moment for | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
anyone who's ever had to suffer in silence. And many people do suffer | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
in silence as you say. Some people getting in touch this morning are | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
saying he's got a privileged position and everything else, and | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
ordinary people perhaps don't have the ability to access the help they | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
might need, I suppose he would say or you might say that it's the same | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
illness regardless of who you are, Prince or pauper. Yeah, I think | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
that's the thing. I don't think it is surprising he has had issues | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
given everything he has had to go through. I think with mental | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
illness, one in four of us will experience it this year which means | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
we know someone who will be experiencing it. Probably people | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
watching right now who are having grim times t doesn't matter if you | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
are a Prince or a pauper as you say, depression and other mental health | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
issues don't care about that. The thing here, he is in a privileged | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
position and what's great is he is using that position to create this | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
conversation about mental health because if we don't talk about it we | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
can't get the resources, we can't get the funding, we can't do | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
anything. So, no one has got better from a mental illness but not | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
talking about it and the only way we are going to get the correct funding | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
is by screaming and shouting about it, as Harry has done. Many people | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
have difficult times with lots of different things but in some ways | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
although they're a famous family, the Royals, it's a complex family. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
He had to watch his parents go through a divorce, men the tragic | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
death of his mother. Then his father to remarry, as well. There's been a | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
lot for him to deal with during his adolescent years. I always said | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
this, if you gave those set of circumstances to any normal person | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
you would probably have some issues going on. Then to kind of magnify it | :24:29. | :24:41. | |
by a billion, you know, every kind of cough, and splutter he has made | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
has ended up in the press. It's quite a life, I don't think we can | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
understand what it must have been like. What's special to me about | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
this interview, as well as it being someone talking so frankly about | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
mental health which is a subject very close to my own heart, I have | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
suffered as well, is that it's really unusual to hear a Royal | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
talking just for half an hour. Usually it's kind of polished, it is | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
soundbites but he really let his guard down. We were sitting on a | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
sofa in a room with a cup of tea and just us in a room and it was kind | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
of, amazing. I am so chuffed, that's in the a very good word, but as | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
someone who, I write a lot about my mental health and I run a mental | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
health support group and it's so exciting to be part of this moment | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
where we are taking these huge negatives and turning them in | :25:36. | :25:47. | |
massive positives. . Briefly, did you sense that he is in a good place | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
now? I did, yeah. Obviously, you know, I wanted to ask more about his | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
personal life, but I didn't want to push it. Yeah, I got the sense he | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
was really sorted. He's really articulate, he is a really sound | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
guy. I think what they're doing is absolutely brilliant. I think a lot | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
of people will have had the same thing where you have had issues for | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
years and years and it takes decades to get treatment. I think that's an | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
ordinary journey for lots of people when it comes to mental health. So, | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
it's really good to hear he is in a good place, but yeah, I think he is | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
awesome, I can't say that enough. I was like, can I hug you a bit more? | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
It was very uncool, but, you know. Just quickly, you are running the | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
marathon for Heads Together, which is the charity, are you ready for | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
Sunday? As ready as I can be. I am excited about it. Six months ago I | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
couldn't run for a bus, I ran 20 miles last week and I am really | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
excited. Good luck. 26 next weekend. 26. 2! We wish you all the best. | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
Thank you for talking to us. Fascinating. Here in a few minutes a | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
summary of this morning's main news. And we will have the sport. | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
Cats have claws, eagles have talons and dogs have teeth | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
but a new documentary explores extreme animal weapons, | :27:11. | :27:12. | |
and what they can teach us about the world around us. | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :27:16. | :30:45. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Roger Johnson and Sian Lloyd. | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
Prince Harry has revealed he went for counselling after spending | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
nearly 20 years trying to not think about the death of his mother. | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
He said he endured two years of "total chaos" almost 20 years | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
after he "shut down" his emotions following the road accident that | :30:58. | :31:00. | |
Prince Harry said he was inspired to speak out because of his | :31:01. | :31:08. | |
involvement with mental health charity Heads Together. | :31:09. | :31:13. | |
All of a sudden, all of this grief I had never processed came to the | :31:14. | :31:20. | |
forefront. I thought there was a lot of stuff I need to deal with it was | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
20 years of not thinking about it and then two years of total chaos. | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
Some of the easiest people to speak to is a shrink, what the Americans | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
call a shrink. Someone you have never met before. You sit on a sofa | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
and say, I do not need your advice or just listen. I have done that it | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
couple of times, more than a couple of times. It is great. | :31:44. | :31:49. | |
President Erdogan of Turkey has won a referendum to vastly | :31:50. | :31:51. | |
expand his presidential powers, which could keep him | :31:52. | :31:53. | |
Mr Erdogan won by a narrow margin of 1.3 million but opposition | :31:54. | :32:01. | |
parties say they will challenge the result's legitimacy. | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
Our Turkey Correspondent Mark Lowen is in the capital Ankara now. | :32:05. | :32:11. | |
A very narrow referendum victory for President Erdogan. How is the | :32:12. | :32:18. | |
reaction to that this morning? Erdogan supporters want to say this | :32:19. | :32:27. | |
is a fait accompli, albeit now than they would have hoped. They will be | :32:28. | :32:32. | |
disappointed they did not get the resounding victory that President | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
ten, I had originally wanted. Among the opposition, they are questioning | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
these results quite challenging them and say they are disputed. This is a | :32:40. | :32:45. | |
pro-government newspaper talking about the People's Revolution, | :32:46. | :32:48. | |
calling President Erdogan a world leader, having achieved an historic | :32:49. | :32:54. | |
victory. The staunchly secular opposition paper, one of the view | :32:55. | :32:59. | |
which exists and has not been closed down by the Government says, is your | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
confidence -- conscience comfortable? That is the kind of | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
division this country faces. It is that a very dangerous moment. One | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
side of the country is jubilant and feels it will push forward with the | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
biggest little change in modern Turkish history. The other side is | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
not accepting the result and is promising street protests. A | :33:23. | :33:27. | |
profoundly divided country and one really which, a few years ago, held | :33:28. | :33:31. | |
up as a model of a democracy in the Islamic world. Now, it appears to be | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
slipping ever further into another chronically unstable part of the | :33:38. | :33:40. | |
Middle East. Thank you. Police and prison officers | :33:41. | :33:45. | |
are to start pooling intelligence -- Police in the US state of Ohio | :33:46. | :33:57. | |
are hunting a man suspected of posting a video on social media | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
of him fatally shooting a stranger. Officers in the city of Cleveland | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
say the suspect Steve Stevens claimed to have killed 12 other | :34:05. | :34:06. | |
people in a later broadcast on Facebook Live but the city's | :34:07. | :34:09. | |
police chief said they did not know The video of the incident has now | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
been removed by Facebook. Police and prison officers | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
are to start pooling intelligence to try to stop drones being used | :34:17. | :34:18. | |
to smuggle contraband into prisons. Drugs and mobile phones are the main | :34:19. | :34:21. | |
items which criminals are trying The move by the government to form | :34:22. | :34:24. | |
this new squad, follows a number of successful convictions | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
of offenders using drones to get Charlie Chaplin would have been 128 | :34:29. | :34:41. | |
yesterday. 662 of his fans decided to get together. They were donning | :34:42. | :34:47. | |
the baggy trousers and bowler hats and trademark moustache. They set a | :34:48. | :34:52. | |
world record for the highest number of Charlie Chaplin lookalike is all | :34:53. | :34:53. | |
in place. In the Premier League, everyone | :34:54. | :35:08. | |
thought Chelsea, ten points clear, would run over the finishing line | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
any time now. That does not seem to be the case. It looked like they | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
were already away and it was a done deal. | :35:18. | :35:25. | |
You just wonder now. Everyone is looking at the fixtures to come | :35:26. | :35:30. | |
thinking, where potentially could Chelsea drop points? It keeps it | :35:31. | :35:36. | |
interesting for everyone, apart from Chelsea fans when are nervous. | :35:37. | :35:39. | |
United fans will be delighted. A really impressive display | :35:40. | :35:42. | |
from Manchester United. A performance that mirrored the type | :35:43. | :35:44. | |
of free flowing football so often seen at Old Trafford | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
through the years Marcus Rashford taking him | :35:48. | :35:48. | |
beyond Chelsea's defence to open United added a second | :35:49. | :35:53. | |
immediately after the break, Earlier in the day, Liverpool beat | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
West Bromwich- zero. Ross County are three points clear | :35:57. | :36:22. | |
of the relegation spot in the Premier League. | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
Mercedes' recent domination of Formula One looks like it | :36:27. | :36:28. | |
could be coming to an end after Sebastian Vettel won | :36:29. | :36:30. | |
the Bahrain Grand Prix ahead of Lewis Hamilton. | :36:31. | :36:32. | |
The German started from third, behind the two Mercedes, | :36:33. | :36:34. | |
but Ferrari's smarter tyre strategy saw Vettel claim the chequered flag | :36:35. | :36:37. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan is through to the second | :36:38. | :36:40. | |
round of the World Snooker Championship. | :36:41. | :36:41. | |
The five time winner beat qualifier Gary Wilson 10 frames to 7, | :36:42. | :36:45. | |
his win included the highest break of the tournament so far - a 124. | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
He is still clearly frustrated with the way he is being treated by World | :36:50. | :36:56. | |
Snooker, having received a letter from them warning about his | :36:57. | :37:00. | |
behaviour after he criticised referee and swore at a photographer | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
back in January in the Masters. I think I have given | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
enough to this game. I think think I have | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
helped and done my bit. I don't need you and you | :37:13. | :37:14. | |
probably don't need me. I just want to enjoy my life | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
and I am not putting up with someone World Snooker Chairman Barry Hearn | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
declined to comment last night, That he is clearly frustrated | :37:22. | :37:35. | |
because he wants to concentrate on his snooker and fears things on the | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
periphery get in the way. People turn up to see him and he puts bums | :37:40. | :37:45. | |
on seats, to coin a phrase. It is the other things going on in and | :37:46. | :37:49. | |
around the game which he feels are a distraction. It is this affecting | :37:50. | :37:53. | |
the way he is playing the game at the moment. Thank very much. | :37:54. | :38:01. | |
This is a topic lots of you have been getting involved with. Should | :38:02. | :38:07. | |
older drivers had to take a test to make sure they are fit to drive? | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
Quarter of a million people have backed a petition asking for a tray | :38:12. | :38:14. | |
-- a change in the law. It was started by Ben Brooks-Dutton, | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
after his wife was killed It's expected that the number | :38:19. | :38:21. | |
of drivers over 75 will double So is there more we can do | :38:22. | :38:27. | |
to improve safety on the roads? Frank has been driving | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
for most of his life. Know where you are relative to as | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
much traffic as you possibly can... But despite 56 years | :38:39. | :38:41. | |
of experience behind the wheel, he feels he benefits | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
from an appraisal from time to time. I mean, I can see I'm not as sharp | :38:44. | :38:49. | |
as I was ten or 15 years ago and that must apply | :38:50. | :38:58. | |
when I'm driving a car. This driver skills scheme | :38:59. | :39:00. | |
in Hampshire for the over 60s assesses around 50 | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
people each month. The aim is to keep people | :39:06. | :39:07. | |
driving safely for longer. It's delivered from their own | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
home in their own car. We get one of our assessors to go | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
along and sit with them And then we can monitor how | :39:19. | :39:21. | |
their driving is going so they don't have to give up too early before | :39:22. | :39:27. | |
they're ready but they don't go There's no legal age to stop driving | :39:28. | :39:30. | |
in the UK but under the current system, drivers have | :39:31. | :39:35. | |
to renew their licence every three To do that, you will | :39:36. | :39:38. | |
simply need one of these. You decide whether or not | :39:39. | :39:41. | |
you are fit to drive based There are no mandatory | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
checks on your eyesight, hearing or even driving | :39:46. | :39:48. | |
and reaction times. For most drivers, this | :39:49. | :39:50. | |
is not a problem but not disclosing a medical issue can | :39:51. | :39:54. | |
have devastating consequences. In 2012, Ben's wife | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
was killed while working A car came speeding around | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
the corner, skimmed my son's push chair but then struck my wife | :40:07. | :40:14. | |
and she died at the scene. When the pressure was on, | :40:15. | :40:18. | |
when the driver had to choose between an accelerator and a brake, | :40:19. | :40:21. | |
he wasn't able to make that He was driving in an automatic | :40:22. | :40:24. | |
vehicle and he thought he was braking and as he broke | :40:25. | :40:30. | |
harder, he was actually accelerating Ben is campaigning for drivers to be | :40:31. | :40:33. | |
retested every three years So far, an online petition | :40:34. | :40:37. | |
has received over I think there needs to be some sort | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
of test to check that we are well enough to drive, that we can react | :40:43. | :40:50. | |
in time to drive safely At the moment, the self-assessment | :40:51. | :40:53. | |
system doesn't do that. Last year, leading road safety | :40:54. | :41:00. | |
experts published a report setting out a national strategy for safe | :41:01. | :41:03. | |
driving into old age. It made a number of recommendations | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
including increasing the age of licence renewal to 75 | :41:07. | :41:08. | |
if proof of an eye test Older drivers, at the age of 70, | :41:09. | :41:11. | |
are no more likely to be involved But obviously, as we do get older | :41:12. | :41:21. | |
and start to suffer from frailty, eyesight and hearing, yes, | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
problems can arise if we don't Ben's petition is set to be | :41:27. | :41:29. | |
discussed by a cross party transport committee after getting | :41:30. | :41:33. | |
the support from his local MP. Meanwhile, Ben is hoping his | :41:34. | :41:36. | |
campaign will highlight No-one wants that hanging over them | :41:37. | :41:37. | |
for the rest of their life but a car is a powerful weapon, | :41:38. | :41:48. | |
you need to make sure you are capable and that is not just | :41:49. | :41:51. | |
about sticking to your guns This is about checking | :41:52. | :41:54. | |
that you definitely are. Lots of people have been in touch | :41:55. | :42:09. | |
this morning. We would be here after ten o'clock if we tried to read them | :42:10. | :42:14. | |
out. We have printed out a selection of e-mails. James Miller says, I | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
gave up driving at 64 due to eyesight problems after it straight. | :42:19. | :42:22. | |
My eyes have got better but do I want to drive again? No. The | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
Government is increasing the working age limit. If they see you are fit | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
enough to work, then you are fit enough to drive. Brian Doherty says, | :42:31. | :42:37. | |
it may be an issue. What should be considered is an assessment to be | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
done for everyone every ten years when you renew your photo license. | :42:42. | :42:45. | |
Mark from the Isle of Man has said, it should be a legal requirement to | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
take the new test once people reach a certain age because the test has | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
changed so much over the years. Then perhaps they should be retested | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
every five years afterwards so that everyone is still capable and it | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
would bring them up to date with changes in driving laws. Alan Judge | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
is 78. He says, in my opinion, younger drivers and boy racers need | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
retesting more than we old people. The e-mails are still coming in. | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
Thank you for the contact you have made. We do read them all but have | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
just been ever to get through a selection. | :43:22. | :43:23. | |
Carol's bringing us the weather from Spitalfields City Farm | :43:24. | :43:26. | |
It has been fabulous being here this morning. The charities supported by | :43:27. | :43:41. | |
volunteers. You can come and have a look. Look at this! Never work with | :43:42. | :43:50. | |
animals or children. Come on. That looks delicious. These are the | :43:51. | :43:53. | |
miniature donkeys. They're not interested in what I am doing at | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
all. Let's try the standard sized donkeys. Would you like to try some | :43:58. | :44:03. | |
of this breakfast? Clever boy. He is having a nibble. This is not going | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
down terribly well. Do you want to try it? Maybe they have just had a | :44:09. | :44:16. | |
lot of straw and repeat. It is gorgeous here this morning. Lots of | :44:17. | :44:22. | |
animals to look at. Sheep, pigs and acute, orphaned lamb for the and of | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
course the donkeys and cats. A big thank you for having us this | :44:28. | :44:31. | |
morning. The weather is warming up quite nicely after a chilly start. | :44:32. | :44:34. | |
There will be sunshine in the forecast. There are some showers | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
around. Showers in Scotland in the north, some of them are wintry, | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
especially on the hills. Low levels in Shetland. For the rest of | :44:44. | :44:49. | |
Scotland got some sunshine. We run into showers across the Southern | :44:50. | :44:52. | |
uplands. In the North of England a beautiful. To the day, albeit cold. | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
For the rest of the Midlands and down into the South East of the | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
Midlands and down into the South East are -- there are showers. | :45:01. | :45:08. | |
Temperatures roundabout 10 Celsius, not just implement but also in | :45:09. | :45:13. | |
Cardiff. North Wales is seeing more cloud and some showers. In Northern | :45:14. | :45:17. | |
Ireland who are starting off on a largely dry note and also a bright | :45:18. | :45:20. | |
one with temperatures roundabout nine Celsius in Belfast. Through the | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
course of the day, many of us will have a mixture of bright spells, | :45:26. | :45:31. | |
sunshine and showers. These will get into northern England by afternoon. | :45:32. | :45:38. | |
Behind them, it will brighten up and temperatures up to 14 Celsius. This | :45:39. | :45:41. | |
evening and overnight, the showers across the North of thing or move | :45:42. | :45:45. | |
down the eastern side of England eventually clearing and allowing | :45:46. | :45:48. | |
cold air to filter across our shores. You'll be a cold and frosty | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
night was if you are a farmer or a grower, bad that in mind. In towns | :45:54. | :45:59. | |
and cities, temperatures will stay in single figures. Temperatures will | :46:00. | :46:06. | |
be freezing to minus five. In the Highlands it could be as low as -7 | :46:07. | :46:11. | |
full stop after a cold and frosty start tomorrow, there will be some | :46:12. | :46:17. | |
sunshine around. You might just the one or two showers but they will be | :46:18. | :46:20. | |
the exception rather than the rule. Today, temperatures -- like today, | :46:21. | :46:31. | |
temperatures will be up to 14. Across southern England, parts of | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
Wales, Northern Ireland, parts of northern England and Scotland, there | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
will be more cloud around and the odd shower. Temperatures roughly | :46:40. | :46:45. | |
into the mid-teens. That is how it is looking weather-wise. I must say | :46:46. | :46:49. | |
it has been fabulous here on the farm this morning. I hope you have | :46:50. | :46:51. | |
enjoyed it as well. The editor of Countryfile has been | :46:52. | :47:01. | |
on the phone and says your donkey skills needed some work! | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
Thank you, Carol. Set against a backdrop | :47:06. | :47:10. | |
of Thatcherism and industrial decline, Letter to Brezhnev | :47:11. | :47:12. | |
portrayed life in Liverpool from the point of view of two friends, | :47:13. | :47:14. | |
more preoccupied with Filmed entirely in the city, | :47:15. | :47:17. | |
for a budget of less than half a million pounds, | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
it became one of the most loved British films of the 1980s, | :47:22. | :47:24. | |
and was even nominated for a BAFTA. Now, more than 30 years on, | :47:25. | :47:27. | |
the cast is reuniting Our Entertainment Correspondent, | :47:28. | :47:30. | |
Colin Paterson, has The director and one of the stars | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
of Letter to Brezhnev, It was the tiny film from Liverpool | :47:35. | :47:48. | |
that travelled the world. It told a simple tale of a pair | :47:49. | :48:08. | |
of local girls spending a night Set against the political | :48:09. | :48:18. | |
backdrop of the time. We were sick of seeing how | :48:19. | :48:30. | |
the city was portrayed You just take a walk | :48:31. | :48:33. | |
into any back kitchen, Can't be any worse living | :48:34. | :48:49. | |
in Russia than living here. At that point in time it was almost | :48:50. | :49:01. | |
dead. We had no industry. No ships on the river, | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
nothing was happening. From Letter to Brezhnev, | :49:07. | :49:09. | |
it gave us the film industry. Now the cast is reuniting | :49:10. | :49:11. | |
for the first time in 30 Peter Firth who will go on to play | :49:12. | :49:14. | |
Harry in Spooks, and Alexandra Pigg. They have happy | :49:15. | :49:34. | |
memories of the shoot despite the minute budget | :49:35. | :49:36. | |
and lack of catering. Somebody's mother turned up | :49:37. | :49:38. | |
with a tray of butties. There was a pub we were filming | :49:39. | :49:40. | |
outside and they'd laid on a pan of scouse for us because they | :49:41. | :49:50. | |
thought we must be starving. I want you, Elaine, | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
I want you to marry me. I have nothing to gain, | :49:54. | :49:56. | |
nothing, just you. It takes a bit longer | :49:57. | :49:58. | |
than a few minutes, you know? And in real life, there's | :49:59. | :50:00. | |
a happy ending too. We actually went out together | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
for a couple of years. We had an onset romance, | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
as they say in the business. And that spread out for a couple | :50:09. | :50:13. | |
of years, didn't it. But then we were both | :50:14. | :50:16. | |
working away a lot and Seven years ago, we | :50:17. | :50:18. | |
realised that perhaps... We just drifted back together again, | :50:19. | :50:26. | |
didn't we, darling? So, it's a very happy ending | :50:27. | :50:29. | |
to a very cute story. That's the first time this morning | :50:30. | :51:04. | |
I've caught what she actually said! Is approaching the end of the | :51:05. | :51:05. | |
programme. Many animals carry some | :51:06. | :51:06. | |
pretty extreme weaponry. We're not just talking | :51:07. | :51:07. | |
about mighty beasts like African Elephants | :51:08. | :51:09. | |
and American Elk - numerous species have | :51:10. | :51:11. | |
evolved ways to gore, A new series of the long-running | :51:12. | :51:12. | |
programme Natural World aims to take a closer look at how and why animals | :51:13. | :51:23. | |
have developed such sophisticated Oh my god! One! -- where! | :51:24. | :51:40. | |
Doug and then is a professor of biology. He spent his lifetime | :51:41. | :51:43. | |
trying to unlock the secrets of extreme animal weapons. Look at | :51:44. | :51:53. | |
this. This is an answer from an elk from here in Montana. This is ?20 of | :51:54. | :52:00. | |
bone. Most any animal has a weapon of some sort. Cats have claws, | :52:01. | :52:06. | |
Eagles have talons. Even dogs have a respectable set of teeth. But those | :52:07. | :52:12. | |
weapons stay small. There is nothing big or awkward, anything that would | :52:13. | :52:15. | |
slow these animals down, nothing sticking out of their bodies in some | :52:16. | :52:20. | |
crazy way. But here and there, sprinkled through the tree of life, | :52:21. | :52:23. | |
our species where their weapons are taken to an extreme. For me, I'm | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
interested in the weapons of Offense. Weapons used for fighting. | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
And in particular the weapons that are big. Those are the pieces that | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
keep me awake at night. -- species. | :52:39. | :52:41. | |
That was a clip from Nature's Wildest Weapons. | :52:42. | :52:43. | |
And the show's producer, Peter Fison, joins us now. | :52:44. | :52:45. | |
Breathtaking stuff. Tell us about what we were just watching? That | :52:46. | :52:56. | |
place is an amazing cathedral of antlers. And being in Montana, which | :52:57. | :53:01. | |
is where the man who takes us through the story lives, that | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
collection is from an antler enthusiast. He goes out into the | :53:07. | :53:12. | |
hills in America and he finds these antlers shared naturally on the | :53:13. | :53:18. | |
floor. I think he has got about 16,000 antlers. Incredible. He | :53:19. | :53:21. | |
doesn't sell them. He just collect them. He has made of this bizarre, | :53:22. | :53:29. | |
eerie and all some collection, which is where we start of the film about | :53:30. | :53:35. | |
animal weapons. You said they shared naturally. Is that something many | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
animals do? Yes, animals shed their antlers every year. There are | :53:41. | :53:46. | |
animals with horns who don't shed their horns every year. Dear in our | :53:47. | :53:49. | |
country, they will shed their antlers every year and grow them | :53:50. | :53:56. | |
back until autumn. They use them to fight, to mate and pond. What made | :53:57. | :54:00. | |
you want to get closer to these weapons? This film originated from a | :54:01. | :54:08. | |
book. We follow a scientist, an enthusiastic biologist who lives in | :54:09. | :54:11. | |
America. He is obsessed with animal weapons. He has spent his whole | :54:12. | :54:17. | |
lifetime working out some animals grow them and why they grow them, | :54:18. | :54:23. | |
what they are used for. So I read this book and thought, this guy is | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
fascinating. I have never thought about animal weapons before. I never | :54:28. | :54:32. | |
thought they were joined and had similar origins and were used for | :54:33. | :54:39. | |
similar things. Elephants are one of the biggest there is. They are not | :54:40. | :54:45. | |
all cute animals though, are they? Yeah. There are some funny moments | :54:46. | :54:51. | |
in the film where we are looking at something that is this big. What's | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
important is how proportionately those weapons are huge. If you look | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
at a beetle, it's weapon may be that big but its body is even smaller. | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
The size of the weapon is half the size of its body. We go and look at | :55:07. | :55:11. | |
crabs in the film. There is a crab lab. These things have huge claws | :55:12. | :55:19. | |
which would be like you carrying your whole body as one arm. They | :55:20. | :55:25. | |
walk around with this all day. We explain why that is and is it really | :55:26. | :55:30. | |
worth it? Do you learn in the programme that perhaps how they have | :55:31. | :55:33. | |
evolved and the different weapons have changed? Yes. The film is | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
really about evolution and weapons. It is about the evolution of antlers | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
and horns. They look totally different. You have fought once, | :55:43. | :55:54. | |
pincers... -- forked once. It is explained through the film why those | :55:55. | :55:58. | |
involved. And actually, that they are all the same. At the end of the | :55:59. | :56:03. | |
film, the scientist has an amazing theory that all of that, it all | :56:04. | :56:09. | |
applies to our weapons as well, which is kind of weird and | :56:10. | :56:14. | |
wonderful, and makes you think. What is the most fearsome of the lot that | :56:15. | :56:20. | |
you have looked at? I don't know. So in the film, in our fiddler crab | :56:21. | :56:30. | |
lab, our son has been bitten a few times. He said it was really | :56:31. | :56:34. | |
painful. Even though they are small, the power they bite with is huge. I | :56:35. | :56:39. | |
think you saw the elephants earlier. They are the biggest land animals on | :56:40. | :56:43. | |
Earth. When they crash into each other, there is nothing more awesome | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
than that. You were saying about the different types. The curly ones, the | :56:49. | :56:52. | |
straight once. What did you learn about how they have changed over the | :56:53. | :56:57. | |
years? I think they have all changed. But most of them came from | :56:58. | :57:07. | |
nothing. An elephant would have begun probably without tusks. The | :57:08. | :57:12. | |
deer would have started with tiny spikes. It means they can breed and | :57:13. | :57:21. | |
reproduce. That means that the weapons got bigger and bigger and | :57:22. | :57:24. | |
bigger and bigger over time, and that is why you enter up with these | :57:25. | :57:28. | |
huge weapons you may be don't expect. Those weapons are so | :57:29. | :57:34. | |
important and useful for the animals. You talked about the mating | :57:35. | :57:39. | |
side of things. What is the main reason animals need these things? | :57:40. | :57:46. | |
Defence, mating, territory? Yeah, that is it. The theory we explained | :57:47. | :57:50. | |
is that these weapons are all for from reproducing, and for having | :57:51. | :57:55. | |
more offspring. They fight with each other. They are not fighting | :57:56. | :58:02. | |
different species. Two ale -- male elements fight each other, two male | :58:03. | :58:06. | |
crabs. They are using the weapons to normally get a female, to mate with | :58:07. | :58:10. | |
her and have more offspring. Often those children will inherit their | :58:11. | :58:15. | |
big antlers or tusks. That is why they keep getting bigger. I'd much | :58:16. | :58:19. | |
rather long did it take to make? Probably took about nine months. We | :58:20. | :58:28. | |
went to Montana, which is big on sheep and elk, and nuclear airbases. | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
Lots of big weapons in one place! We were there for just under a month. | :58:34. | :58:38. | |
Thank you for talking to us. We looking forward to the programme. | :58:39. | :58:39. | |
