:00:15. > :00:17.A political earthquake in France as two outsiders are chosen

:00:18. > :00:19.for the final stage of the presidential election.

:00:20. > :00:22.The National Front's Marine Le Pen and the centrist, Emanuel Macron,

:00:23. > :00:36.will go head to head in two weeks' time.

:00:37. > :00:47.A man hunt is launched after the death of a ex-Royal Navy

:00:48. > :00:49.officer killed trying to stop burglars steal his

:00:50. > :00:54.The police describe it as beyond criminal.

:00:55. > :01:02.This could have happened to absolutely anybody. You hear a noise

:01:03. > :01:04.downstairs and go and see what it is. It is incredibly tragic.

:01:05. > :01:07.Six months on from the closure of the Calais Jungle refugee camp,

:01:08. > :01:10.we hear new evidence that migrants are returning to the town.

:01:11. > :01:13.Today, I'm talking about the housing market, as new research says average

:01:14. > :01:18.But as sales fall, I'll be looking at what is going on.

:01:19. > :01:20.In sport, Sanchez shines for Arsenal.

:01:32. > :01:35.We'll be live there later as the search for the next UK City

:01:36. > :01:49.Good morning. Good morning. A taste of winter in the forecast this week

:01:50. > :01:55.with some snow, especially in the north and north-east. There will be

:01:56. > :02:00.some sunshine. It is not until the second part of the weekend the

:02:01. > :02:02.weekend that it will warm up. And I will have more details on 50

:02:03. > :02:08.minutes. Thank you, Carol. -- 15. French voters have rejected the two

:02:09. > :02:12.traditional ruling parties, with their candidates

:02:13. > :02:14.being knocked out in the first Instead, the pro-European,

:02:15. > :02:18.Emmanuel Macron, is set to face the far-right leader,

:02:19. > :02:21.Marine Le Pen, in a run-off Mr Macron is widely seen

:02:22. > :02:25.as favourite as our Europe correspondent, James

:02:26. > :02:30.Reynolds, reports Emanuel Macron is France's newcomer,

:02:31. > :02:36.and now the winner of this election to back first round. He is an

:02:37. > :02:43.insider who has run as an outsider. The 39-year-old is EU and grow

:02:44. > :02:46.business and a centrist. He resigned as a minister in order to form his

:02:47. > :02:50.own political movement. And his gamble has paid off. TRANSLATION: I

:02:51. > :02:58.hope that in a fortnight, I will become your

:02:59. > :03:04.president. His supporters believe the rest of the country will now

:03:05. > :03:09.rally around him. This is his first election. The French people still

:03:10. > :03:12.hardly know him. He is now the favourite to become the next

:03:13. > :03:19.president of this country. Marine Le Pen, the leader of Front National,

:03:20. > :03:24.will fight him in the final round. She won more votes than the party

:03:25. > :03:30.has ever won before. She matched her father's achievement 13 years ago in

:03:31. > :03:34.reaching a presidential run-off. The French people must take this

:03:35. > :03:44.historic opportunity, because the bigger issue is the globalisation

:03:45. > :03:48.putting our civilisation in danger. In Bastille Square in Paris,

:03:49. > :03:52.protesters faced off against the police. These demonstrators were

:03:53. > :03:57.angered by the result of this vote. Day, and the rest of the country,

:03:58. > :03:59.will have their final say in two weeks' time. James Reynolds, BBC

:04:00. > :04:00.News, Paris. Let's speak now to our Paris

:04:01. > :04:03.correspondent, Hugh Schofield. How much does this first

:04:04. > :04:05.round result illustrate that France is breaking away from

:04:06. > :04:14.the political norm? Give us a sense of the significance.

:04:15. > :04:20.Quite a turnaround, isn't it? Yes, indeed. Two outsiders in the

:04:21. > :04:26.running. All questions are now focusing on who will win in two

:04:27. > :04:30.weeks' time. Before the election, Marine Le Pen told me, and every

:04:31. > :04:35.other journalist wanted to ask that question, whether Emanuel Macron was

:04:36. > :04:40.her ideal opponent, because she wants to turn it into France versus

:04:41. > :04:45.globalisation. She believes there are many people out there who

:04:46. > :04:53.believe in medal Davos Mis a Davos man, Mr moneybags, someone who likes

:04:54. > :04:58.the existing system. If she can tap into that feeling in France, she

:04:59. > :05:02.will expand her support from 20 something which it is now. It will

:05:03. > :05:07.be a big fight for her at all the polls suggest she will not make it.

:05:08. > :05:12.There is a lot riding around Macron. Every suggestion, and my feeling, is

:05:13. > :05:16.that he is almost certain to be the leader of France. We will talk about

:05:17. > :05:17.it a lot on our programme. Thank you.

:05:18. > :05:20.Police in have begun a murder inquiry after a former Royal Navy

:05:21. > :05:23.officer was killed by thieves who stole his car from

:05:24. > :05:25.Michael Samwell, 35, died after confronting intruders

:05:26. > :05:28.who broke into his home in Greater Manchester in the early

:05:29. > :05:40.How did a disturbance at a house in the early hours and in a murder

:05:41. > :05:44.investigation? Michael Samwell and his wife were woken up by a loud

:05:45. > :05:47.noise, and the former Royal Navy officer went downstairs to have a

:05:48. > :05:52.look. The exact sequence of events that followed are not clear that be

:05:53. > :05:56.but outside, now cordoned off, the 35 year old was run over as his car

:05:57. > :06:01.was stolen. He later died in hospital. The car was found

:06:02. > :06:06.abandoned a few miles away but the leaders could have happened to

:06:07. > :06:10.anyone. You hear a noise downstairs and you go and see what it is. It is

:06:11. > :06:14.incredibly tragic he has lost his life. This is described as a quiet

:06:15. > :06:19.corner of Manchester. And they gathered in silence. People came to

:06:20. > :06:27.pay their respects, laying flowers at the scene. Over a battery

:06:28. > :06:34.realistic item, a car, to take a life. -- materialistic. Is that what

:06:35. > :06:40.it has come down to? It will be a bit different here now. I am a bit

:06:41. > :06:43.shaken up because it is close to ours. I am scared. Whoever is

:06:44. > :06:48.responsible is still on the run. One theory is they did break in simply

:06:49. > :06:55.to get their hands on the car. If that is the case, it leads to a far

:06:56. > :06:57.more serious enquiry. BBC News. We will have more on that later in the

:06:58. > :06:58.morning. Jeremy Corbyn is promising to repeal

:06:59. > :07:02.what he calls "vicious" trade union legislation, brought

:07:03. > :07:03.in by the Conservatives, The Labour leader is making his

:07:04. > :07:08.first campaign visit to Scotland today, where his party is trying

:07:09. > :07:12.to claw back support after huge losses in the election

:07:13. > :07:13.two years ago. Our political correspondent,

:07:14. > :07:16.Chris Mason, is in Westminster Chris, Mr Corbyn had

:07:17. > :07:28.a tough day yesterday? It was. It struck at the heart of

:07:29. > :07:34.the central castle Jeremy Corbyn has had ever since he became the Labour

:07:35. > :07:38.leader. -- tussle. It is simple. He has views and his MPs have different

:07:39. > :07:45.ones. The Mets yesterday was around the issue of defence, in particular,

:07:46. > :07:53.the nuclear deterrent. He has been a lifelong unilateralist, a person

:07:54. > :07:58.wants to get rid of it. So he said in an interview with the BBC that

:07:59. > :08:04.the discussion around that policy had not yet been concluded. A couple

:08:05. > :08:11.of hours later a statement was put out saying yes he had and labour

:08:12. > :08:15.would keep it. They also talked about the Scottish trade union

:08:16. > :08:23.Congress. He will mention policies he is proud of, like the ?10 minimum

:08:24. > :08:26.wage hike. The Scottish National Party also addressed the same

:08:27. > :08:31.Congress saying Labour are not the challenges for them they are facing

:08:32. > :08:36.the Tories. They say the SNP are the only ones who can be a viable

:08:37. > :08:38.opposition to them. Thank you very much. We will see you a little bit

:08:39. > :08:39.later on. Two men are due to appear in court

:08:40. > :08:42.today, charged in connection with an acid attack at a nightclub

:08:43. > :08:46.in east London on Easter Monday, which left two people

:08:47. > :08:48.blind in one eye. Arthur Collins, who's 24

:08:49. > :08:51.and the boyfriend of the reality TV star, Ferne McCann, is facing 14

:08:52. > :08:54.counts of wounding with intent and one count of throwing corrosive

:08:55. > :08:57.fluid with intent to cause Andre Phoenix, who's 21,

:08:58. > :09:00.faces seven counts of wounding with intent to cause

:09:01. > :09:06.grievous bodily harm. Tougher punishments for the most

:09:07. > :09:09.serious cases of speeding have come into force in England

:09:10. > :09:11.and Wales today. Drivers can now be fined 1.5

:09:12. > :09:13.times their weekly wage That means driving over 50 miles

:09:14. > :09:19.an hour in a 30 zone or 100 miles The Government will go

:09:20. > :09:26.to the High Court to try to delay publishing its strategy

:09:27. > :09:28.for tackling air pollution. Today was the deadline for ministers

:09:29. > :09:31.to present their plans, but they claim voting rules mean

:09:32. > :09:34.they can't publish sensitive policies before

:09:35. > :09:35.the General Election. Campaigners say they're trying

:09:36. > :09:38.to dodge a difficult issue. Our environment analyst,

:09:39. > :09:54.Roger Harrabin, reports. Britain's fill the air was supposed

:09:55. > :09:58.to have been cleaned up by 2010. Governments found the task hard and

:09:59. > :10:03.expensive, so policies have crept along. Until campaigners at the High

:10:04. > :10:09.Court one day case that ministers had a legal duty to protect people

:10:10. > :10:13.from pollution. -- won there. Today was the date stipulated for the air

:10:14. > :10:18.pollution policy to be published. That was until this. I have just

:10:19. > :10:23.chaired a meeting of the cabinet where we agreed that the government

:10:24. > :10:25.should call a general election. Her election announcement, ministers

:10:26. > :10:30.argue, made it impossible to publish the document now. It is too

:10:31. > :10:37.politically sensitive and in breach of election rules. Here is the real

:10:38. > :10:40.reason for the big delay, say green campaigners, dirty diesel cars. And

:10:41. > :10:45.the government dithering over a pollution tax rate Costly scrapping

:10:46. > :10:50.scheme. They had five months to come up with a new plan and have waited

:10:51. > :10:56.until the last minute. That is unacceptable We need this plan

:10:57. > :11:04.introduced now. People are suffering. It is a public health

:11:05. > :11:07.issue, not a political one. If ministers persuade the judge to

:11:08. > :11:08.delay, any prickly political decisions will come after the

:11:09. > :11:09.election. Roger Harrabin, BBC News. Over 40,000 runners crossed

:11:10. > :11:12.the London Marathon finish And while a record number

:11:13. > :11:15.of competitors took part in the race, this is the moment

:11:16. > :11:18.everyone is talking about. Matthew Rees stopped his race

:11:19. > :11:21.to help David Wyeth cross The organisers have praised Mr Rees,

:11:22. > :11:24.saying he "encompassed everything that's so special about

:11:25. > :11:26.the London Marathon." We'll be reuniting the duo,

:11:27. > :11:32.just after half past seven. Congratulations to all of them. I

:11:33. > :11:52.bet they are feeling a bit sore this morning. This is amazing. He got a

:11:53. > :11:57.massive amount of applause. We will reunite them soon. I hope he is

:11:58. > :12:05.feeling better than that this morning. He was speaking. Amazingly,

:12:06. > :12:08.they did it under three hours, both of them. Staggering, literally.

:12:09. > :12:11.A group of British firms has unveiled plans to test driverless

:12:12. > :12:15.cars on city roads and motorways in the UK, for the first time.

:12:16. > :12:16.The Driven Consortium, backed by government money,

:12:17. > :12:19.intends to try out a fleet of autonomous vehicles

:12:20. > :12:24.So far, trials of driverless vehicles in the UK have mainly taken

:12:25. > :12:31.place at slow speeds and not on public roads.

:12:32. > :12:36.A 12-year-old who was trying to drive across the entire breadth

:12:37. > :12:38.of Australia has been arrested by police.

:12:39. > :12:45.The boy was already 800 miles into his journey when he was pulled

:12:46. > :12:48.over by a routine patrol because the bumper of his vehicle

:12:55. > :12:57.The minimum driving age in New South Wales

:12:58. > :13:07.So many questions. Like how did he persuade people he could fill up

:13:08. > :13:18.with petrol. Presumably he must have done it. Hopefully he has an older

:13:19. > :13:28.says. And a beard. We need someone with interrogation skills. Tim

:13:29. > :13:32.Hastings. He is on later. Are you up-to-date with Line Of Duty? I am

:13:33. > :13:39.not even finished with season one. Get out of the studio. I am on

:13:40. > :13:45.spoiler-duty alert. I will make sure no one has anything real. When we do

:13:46. > :13:50.the interview, there are things we have to talk about. -- ruined. . If

:13:51. > :13:56.you are not up-to-date, you will have to not listen. I will have to

:13:57. > :14:00.make several cups of tea because I have not seen it and I know it is

:14:01. > :14:02.brilliant. He is one of the superstars of the series. I will

:14:03. > :14:16.make myself scarce at that point. Isn't that a great picture of Arsene

:14:17. > :14:22.Wenger? That encompasses exact what it means to him. They are under so

:14:23. > :14:27.much pressure, Arsenal. If they win the FA Cup, could that justify him

:14:28. > :14:30.staying in the job after all of that criticism? Yes, good morning,

:14:31. > :14:31.everyone. Arsenal will play Chelsea in next

:14:32. > :14:34.month's FA Cup final after they beat The Gunners came from behind

:14:35. > :14:39.to secure a 2-1 win in the semi final after Alexis Sanchez

:14:40. > :14:41.poached their winner. It's his 24th goal of the season

:14:42. > :14:45.and means manager Arsene Wenger now has the chance to win

:14:46. > :14:47.his seventh FA Cup. Meanwhile, Chelsea's N'Golo Kante

:14:48. > :14:50.has been named the PFA's player The midfielder, who joined

:14:51. > :14:57.from Leicester last summer, Tottenham's Dele Alli

:15:09. > :15:14.team lost their Fed Cup play-off match to Romania, after both

:15:15. > :15:17.Johanna Konta and Heather Watson failed to win their

:15:18. > :15:18.singles rubbers . The tie was overshadowed

:15:19. > :15:21.by the banning of Romanian captain Illie Nastase for swearing

:15:22. > :15:34.at officials and the British team. It really ended on a sour note,

:15:35. > :15:40.that. They did not shake hands at the end of the match. They were off

:15:41. > :15:43.to celebrate with their team instead. All kinds of bad things

:15:44. > :15:51.written in the press about the tension in the third cup tie. Such a

:15:52. > :15:53.shame. -- Fed Cup tie. And we will have more goals later. Yes, some

:15:54. > :16:08.magic from Lionel Messi. look at the frost around, Carol.

:16:09. > :16:12.Warning to those of you. The recent frost around. Not just frost but as

:16:13. > :16:16.we go through the first half of this week there is an and is in the

:16:17. > :16:21.forecast as well. Some of us will cease now but not all of us. What is

:16:22. > :16:27.happening today as we have a few weather fronts sinking south. Behind

:16:28. > :16:30.the cold front, look how that cold air it goes southwards, reaching

:16:31. > :16:34.their later this evening. All of us will be feeling it by tonight and

:16:35. > :16:39.tomorrow morning. First thing this morning we do have bright skies

:16:40. > :16:42.across the southern counties. Here we also look at sunshine. And as we

:16:43. > :16:46.go through the morning you will start to notice increasing amounts

:16:47. > :16:51.of cloud cold in from the north-west. At this it should remain

:16:52. > :16:55.largely dry. Temperatures at eight o'clock between nine and 11 degrees.

:16:56. > :17:00.Moving into the Midlands, East Anglia and Wales there is more cloud

:17:01. > :17:02.around, spots of rain that extend across northern England into

:17:03. > :17:09.Northern Ireland as well. Moving south so it will brighten up. A lot

:17:10. > :17:14.of sunshine in Scotland. It is also cold. Across the north there is

:17:15. > :17:18.snow, even at lower levels as we go through the course of the day. There

:17:19. > :17:22.will also be sleet and hail in as well. The wind will strengthen in

:17:23. > :17:26.the north, touching gale force with that exposure. They come straight

:17:27. > :17:30.down from the Arctic so it will accentuate the cold. Through the

:17:31. > :17:34.day, there goes the patchy rain moving into southern counties and we

:17:35. > :17:37.hang on to the wintry and is in the north but even through the afternoon

:17:38. > :17:45.we could see wintry showers heading down through eastern Scotland into

:17:46. > :17:50.north-east England. Calls you are in Aberdeen this afternoon with a

:17:51. > :17:54.maximum temperature of two Celsius but we hang on to mild conditions in

:17:55. > :17:59.the south. That will not last. As we go into the evening and overnight

:18:00. > :18:03.and there goes our weather front into the Channel Islands. And clear

:18:04. > :18:06.skies so there will be a lot of frost around tonight and, still,

:18:07. > :18:10.those showers persisting and snow across the far north. You can see

:18:11. > :18:16.how it comes down that is closed as well. Showers though not all of us

:18:17. > :18:21.can see them. And still is an wintry as in the forecast, is still a low

:18:22. > :18:24.level in the north as we come down the eastern side of England, for

:18:25. > :18:29.example, some showers will be wintry as well with a mix of hail and sleet

:18:30. > :18:32.and thunder and lightning. More showers developing over towards the

:18:33. > :18:36.west, one of those may have wintry component is well both of the south

:18:37. > :18:41.we are looking at rise of 11 degrees. Still cold as we look

:18:42. > :18:45.further north. And as we head on into Wednesday, a mixture. We still

:18:46. > :18:50.have some rain in the south, al be a really patchy. More rain coming in

:18:51. > :18:55.across the north but after that temperatures will pick up and it

:18:56. > :19:04.will not feel quite as cool. Thank you, Carol, see you later. Let's

:19:05. > :19:07.look at the of the newspapers. The front page of the Telegraph is

:19:08. > :19:12.talking about labour's nuclear implosion. An interview the Jeremy

:19:13. > :19:17.Corbyn did yesterday ruling out ever using a nuclear deterrent or

:19:18. > :19:21.refusing to back a drone strike to call a nice as leader. The Labour

:19:22. > :19:26.Party had to come out and make sure, to re- clarify, is that the way they

:19:27. > :19:34.are putting? The position they hold on Trident. Lots of pictures as well

:19:35. > :19:37.of the London marathon. Lovely. This is front page of the Daily Mirror.

:19:38. > :19:55.Again, the picture from the marathon. We have these two runners

:19:56. > :19:58.here... Their main story is Maddie McCann snatched a rich family, that

:19:59. > :20:03.is the main story of the mirror. From page of the mail, don't lots of

:20:04. > :20:06.paper talking about what happen in France yesterday. They call it the

:20:07. > :20:10.new French Revolution. This is a picture of the wife in the Navy

:20:11. > :20:15.officer who was her husband, who was killed by car thieves when they took

:20:16. > :20:20.his car from outside his house. The front page of the Times this morning

:20:21. > :20:23.has a picture of Marine Le Pen, French elite humiliated as outsiders

:20:24. > :20:27.slip to victory. We should be live in Paris for the very latest on

:20:28. > :20:32.throughout the morning for you. Financial Times, talking about the

:20:33. > :20:38.French presidential election. Emmanual Macron and Marine Le Pen to

:20:39. > :20:44.face-off is the way they phrase that. I give you a flash of the

:20:45. > :20:48.Guardian. They have, again, a picture of not Marine Le Pen, she is

:20:49. > :20:55.in the small picture there, but Mr Macron. Macron versus Marine Le Pen.

:20:56. > :21:01.The result expected from the final round in two week's time. Front page

:21:02. > :21:08.of many this morning. How often use cash these days? It has reduced

:21:09. > :21:12.heavily. Now there are some cafes where they say they are not taking

:21:13. > :21:20.any cash at all. Really? We don't take cash. Yes. Because the person

:21:21. > :21:25.who owns this cafe is from south-east London, one of many they

:21:26. > :21:29.safe, small businesses now accepting payments only by card because the

:21:30. > :21:33.owner had been in Sweden and been to many different places and realised

:21:34. > :21:36.that he had not spent any cash at all because places did not take it

:21:37. > :21:40.and they have not noticed. They wanted to try that out here because

:21:41. > :21:48.it is quite expensive for businesses to handle cash. That is quite

:21:49. > :21:52.interesting, isn't it? I think it is very interesting, not having any

:21:53. > :21:56.cash at all. Imagine, this is in the Times today. Imagine you go down to

:21:57. > :22:00.your local tennis club on a Sunday free bit of a hit and you hear

:22:01. > :22:05.someone grunting on the court next door. Anything, hang on, is second,

:22:06. > :22:10.that sounds like Maria Sharapova. It is. She is having a comeback this

:22:11. > :22:15.week from her doping and for taking a banned substance. She spent 15

:22:16. > :22:20.months out of the sport and she is returning to play in Stuttgart. But

:22:21. > :22:24.she is not allowed into the arena at Stuttgart to practise until midnight

:22:25. > :22:28.tomorrow night. So she is using a local tennis club to practise. And,

:22:29. > :22:32.so, families are playing on the court next door to her, she had to

:22:33. > :22:36.walk past their courts to go to the cafe to get a drink of water and

:22:37. > :22:40.stuff like that. But, yeah, this is Maria Sharapova's comeback to

:22:41. > :22:51.Dennis. All that grunting. The buildup. To quickly show you this? I

:22:52. > :22:56.cannot believe this is true but apparently you now that I am a big

:22:57. > :23:00.fan of coffee. Apparently just climbing the stairs will do me more

:23:01. > :23:05.good than actually having a cup of coffee I do not believe that. But,

:23:06. > :23:10.that is not practical, is it? You want to go climb the stairs for ten

:23:11. > :23:20.minutes? Yes, go for it. It is a step up... Can I just show you a big

:23:21. > :23:31.dog? Yes. A big dog, a massive one. 15 stone six. When he stands up here

:23:32. > :23:32.seven foot tall. Seven feet! That is him standing on two legs.

:23:33. > :23:34.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:23:35. > :23:40.At its peak the make-shift camp known as the Jungle in Calais

:23:41. > :23:43.was home to 7,000 migrants, most desperately looking for a route

:23:44. > :23:47.Six months ago it was shut down and authorities say there are only

:23:48. > :23:50.around 100 migrants still in the French port.

:23:51. > :23:53.But a new report seen exclusively by BBC Breakfast puts the figure

:23:54. > :23:55.at four times that, with migrants including

:23:56. > :23:57.unaccompanied children sleeping rough in Calais and Paris.

:23:58. > :24:00.Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been to Northern France to see the impact

:24:01. > :24:15.Six months after the jungle closed, the centre of Calais is a picture of

:24:16. > :24:19.calm. Cafe culture at its most serene. The port, so long a

:24:20. > :24:26.destination for migrants is now running normally. Laurie traffic is

:24:27. > :24:40.up 10%. It is very quiet. Before we had 8000 migrants per month to day

:24:41. > :24:44.that is down to 300. The jungle was home to some 10,000 migrants. It

:24:45. > :24:48.came to be seen by the authorities as a magnet or people wanting to get

:24:49. > :24:59.to Britain. So did closing it solve a problem? Bottles... Rocks... When

:25:00. > :25:04.he crosses the border into France, Jacob won't stop. So we caught up

:25:05. > :25:09.with him in Belgium. Although it is safe getting in and out of France

:25:10. > :25:14.the problem now is that you do not feel safe in more areas of friends.

:25:15. > :25:20.It has not got work, it has not gone away. It simply moved the problem.

:25:21. > :25:25.Six in the evening. On the corner of an industrial estate in Calais, a

:25:26. > :25:28.nightly ritual is played out. Charities hand out food and clothes

:25:29. > :25:35.to migrants. Most teenagers without their parents, like this 15-year-old

:25:36. > :25:41.from Eritrea. You want to go to England? And do you have family

:25:42. > :25:45.there? Yes. Your uncle is there? Why do you not stay here and claim

:25:46. > :25:52.asylum here in France. I do not like it. You do not like France? The

:25:53. > :25:56.report out today from the refugee Project says there are about 400

:25:57. > :26:00.migrants in Calais today, many sleeping in the woods. Public

:26:01. > :26:05.opinion has hardened war forms of migration but Michael McCue's from

:26:06. > :26:09.the refugee youth service says a genuine asylum claims must be heard.

:26:10. > :26:13.It is not about what people want or do not want. We have tens of

:26:14. > :26:17.thousands of children's moving across Europe. There is a legal

:26:18. > :26:23.right for many of these children to go to the UK. It is being actively

:26:24. > :26:27.obstructed. 30 minutes from Calais, this is what is left of another

:26:28. > :26:32.microcap near Dunkirk. It burnt down after a fight between rival groups

:26:33. > :26:35.of Kurds and Afghans. This is where many migrants came when the jungle

:26:36. > :26:39.closed. The French government had plans in place to dismantle the camp

:26:40. > :26:44.for the fire. The government wants to pretend that the problem does not

:26:45. > :26:49.exist and the strategy is to destroy the places where people live,

:26:50. > :26:55.thinking that if we destroy their places and they have no places to be

:26:56. > :26:59.a will disappear. Just after seven a.m. In Calais, the police move in.

:27:00. > :27:03.The French determined another account will not be established. One

:27:04. > :27:09.of the migrants is arrested. The problem here has been alleviated but

:27:10. > :27:13.not solved. As the weather improves, thousands of migrants are already on

:27:14. > :27:21.the move across the Middle East and Africa. Many will make it here in

:27:22. > :27:23.the hope of getting to the UK. You are watching BBC breakfast. Still to

:27:24. > :27:26.come this Hull might only have just

:27:27. > :27:32.begun its tenure as City of Culture but the race is

:32:07. > :32:08.according to the letter of the law. So there was not one embedded in

:32:10. > :32:11.on Superintendent Ted Hastings and his inexhaustible quest

:32:12. > :32:13.to root out corruption. Line of Duty star, Adrian Dunbar,

:32:14. > :32:17.is on the sofa just after 8.30. But now, a summary of this

:32:18. > :32:30.morning's main news. I will take responsibility for all

:32:31. > :32:31.of the spoiler alerts. I'm on Team Ted. Go, Ted!

:32:32. > :32:34.In an extraordinary result, French voters have rejected the two

:32:35. > :32:36.traditional ruling parties, with their candidates being knocked

:32:37. > :32:38.out in the first round of the Presidential election.

:32:39. > :32:41.Instead, the far-right leader, Marine le Pen, is set to face

:33:01. > :33:06.Jeremy Corbyn is promising to repeal what he calls "vicious" trade union

:33:07. > :33:08.legislation, brought in by the Conservatives,

:33:09. > :33:13.The Labour leader will make the pledge today to trade union

:33:14. > :33:15.members in Scotland, where his party's trying to claw

:33:16. > :33:24.back support after huge losses in the election two years ago.

:33:25. > :33:28.The government will go to the High Court to try to delay

:33:29. > :33:30.publishing its strategy for tackling air pollution.

:33:31. > :33:32.Today was the deadline for ministers to present their plans,

:33:33. > :33:35.but they claim voting rules mean they can't publish sensitive

:33:36. > :33:36.policies before the General Election.

:33:37. > :33:39.Campaigners say they're trying to dodge a difficult issue

:33:40. > :33:40.because of nervousness about increasing tax

:33:41. > :33:54.Over 40,000 runners crossed the London Marathon finish

:33:55. > :33:58.And while a record number of competitors took part

:33:59. > :34:01.in the race, this is the moment everyone is talking about.

:34:02. > :34:03.Matthew Rees stopped his race to help David Wyeth cross

:34:04. > :34:08.The organisers have praised Mr Rees, saying he "encompassed everything

:34:09. > :34:13.that's so special about the London Marathon."

:34:14. > :34:17.We'll be reuniting the duo just after half past seven.

:34:18. > :34:38.That was a lovely moment. Amazing. I am surprised you are not gushing

:34:39. > :34:46.already. Yesterday it did wring tears to my eyes. I did a race.

:34:47. > :34:52.Maybe I was a bit tired, but it did not do it to me. Imagine you have

:34:53. > :35:00.trained that hard and you are going for your time. He must have added

:35:01. > :35:05.another 5-6 minute onto his. Incredible athletes and sportsmen as

:35:06. > :35:12.well. I was also watching the FA Cup semi-final yesterday. What a match.

:35:13. > :35:17.I was doing my on line shopping as well at the same time. I love the

:35:18. > :35:20.insight into your life. Absolutely brilliant. Into extra time as well.

:35:21. > :35:30.A group of British firms has unveiled plans to test driverless

:35:31. > :35:33.Arsenal will face Chelsea in next month's FA Cup final,

:35:34. > :35:35.after beating Manchester City 2-1 in extra time at Wembley.

:35:36. > :35:38.They did it the hard way in the semi-final,

:35:39. > :35:41.coming from behind after City had taken the lead through Sergio

:35:42. > :35:44.The Gunners though found an equaliser through Nacho Monreal

:35:45. > :35:46.to send the game into extra time, before Alexis Sanchez then

:35:47. > :35:53.People questioned us a lot recently. We had some tough times. But in

:35:54. > :35:57.these difficult times, you can be divided, which is the natural

:35:58. > :36:01.inclination, or you can be united. And I think today we showed the

:36:02. > :36:18.right response and stayed together. We are not in the final. We tried to

:36:19. > :36:23.do it. Umm... So, I don't have too many regrets. I don't have regrets

:36:24. > :36:25.with the team. We tried to do what we wanted to do. And that is it.

:36:26. > :36:28.So, no trophy for Pep Guardiola this year, and Manchester United

:36:29. > :36:31.are breathing down their rivals' necks in the Premier League.

:36:32. > :36:34.A 2-0 win at Burnley means Jose Mourinho's side are now just

:36:35. > :36:37.a point behind City and the fourth Champions League spot.

:36:38. > :36:39.Which gives Thursday's Manchester Derby an extra bit of spice.

:36:40. > :36:41.United have something of an injury crisis,

:36:42. > :36:44.Wayne Rooney made just his second Premier League start of the year

:36:45. > :36:51.but he and Anthony Martial scored for United to secure the win.

:36:52. > :36:54.Third placed Liverpool slipped up, losing 2-1 at home to Crystal

:36:55. > :37:00.Philip Coutinho put the hosts ahead with a great free kick,

:37:01. > :37:03.but two goals by former Liverpool forward Christian Benteke gave

:37:04. > :37:05.Palace the victory and eases their relegation worries.

:37:06. > :37:07.Chelsea's N'Golo Kante has won the Professional Footballers

:37:08. > :37:09.Association Player of the Year Award.

:37:10. > :37:12.The midfielder, who was instrumental in Leicester's title win last season

:37:13. > :37:15.topped the poll which is voted for by fellow players.

:37:16. > :37:18.Tottenham's Dele Alli won the young player prize for the second

:37:19. > :37:20.successive year while Manchester City's Lucy Bronze won

:37:21. > :37:25.the Women's Player of the Year Award.

:37:26. > :37:28.Celtic remain on course for their first domestic treble

:37:29. > :37:31.since 2001 after they beat Old Firm rivals Rangers 2-0 to reach

:37:32. > :37:34.They've already wrapped up the league title

:37:35. > :37:37.and the Scottish League Cup this season and an early goal

:37:38. > :37:42.Scott Sinclair doubled their lead with a penalty in the second half,

:37:43. > :37:44.the third goal he's scored against Rangers this season.

:37:45. > :37:55.Celtic will face Aberdeen in the final next month.

:37:56. > :38:07.We have to keep our heads in the ground and focused. We have a few

:38:08. > :38:12.games to focus on. We are undefeated in the league. We have to keep that

:38:13. > :38:20.going. We still have it all to play for. It will keep us in good shape.

:38:21. > :38:30.Here are the goals you have been looking forward to.

:38:31. > :38:33.Not only did the game begin with this month's Masters winner,

:38:34. > :38:36.Sergio Garcia, being paraded before the crowd inside the Bernabeau,

:38:37. > :38:41.It was 2-2 going into the final ten seconds of injury time

:38:42. > :38:43.when Lionel Messi scored a dramatic winner.

:38:44. > :39:02.Sergio Ramos was sent off. That is incredible. 500 goals!

:39:03. > :39:04.Great Britain have lost their Fed Cup play-off

:39:05. > :39:06.against Romania after Johanna Konta and Heather Watson both

:39:07. > :39:11.It was a much less controversial day's play, following the Romania

:39:12. > :39:14.captain Ilie Nastase's ban on Saturday for swearing at a number

:39:15. > :39:17.Simona Halep beat the British number one in straight sets,

:39:18. > :39:20.while Watson lost her rubber to Irina-Camelia Begu.

:39:21. > :39:36.The 3-1 defeat means Britain now move back to the Europe-Africa Zone.

:39:37. > :39:38.Now we've heard about the sportsmanship of Swansea Harriers

:39:39. > :39:40.runner Matthew Rees at the London Marathon,

:39:41. > :39:43.he helped fellow competitor David Wyeth over the line.

:39:44. > :39:46.But he wasn't the only member of the Swansea club to shine

:39:47. > :39:48.Josh Griffiths was running his first marathon.

:39:49. > :39:51.Not only did he finish, he was the first Briton

:39:52. > :39:54.across the line with a time of two hours 14 minutes 49 seconds,

:39:55. > :39:58.He completed the course in a qualifying time

:39:59. > :40:02.for the World Championships so quite a day for the club runner from South

:40:03. > :40:07.Have a look about. Coming from absolutely nowhere! Did not even

:40:08. > :40:11.look too bad at the end over there. And he is going to the World

:40:12. > :40:26.Championships if he wants to of course. He will be alongside some of

:40:27. > :40:37.the best runners in the world. That is one of my dreams that repeats.

:40:38. > :40:44.Most people have exam anxiety dreams. Maybe I need some better

:40:45. > :41:05.one's. These are dreams and you need to turn them into reality.

:41:06. > :41:08.This is data from one of the biggest property websites Rightmove.

:41:09. > :41:14.That's up 2.2% compared to last year.

:41:15. > :41:17.And that is the slowest growth in asking prices for four years.

:41:18. > :41:20.Also, it's obviously not just about what people are asking,

:41:21. > :41:27.And house prices are growing at half the rate since last summer,

:41:28. > :41:29.according to official figures.

:41:30. > :41:31.Rising inflation is hitting our pockets too,

:41:32. > :41:42.which could put pressure on the market.

:41:43. > :41:52.Or is the estate agent. -- with me. What do you think about this? As you

:41:53. > :42:01.said, asking prices are readily one part of the story. It will encourage

:42:02. > :42:07.confidence. There is also always a mixed picture on that. The key point

:42:08. > :42:13.is not asking prices, but achievement prices. What is it

:42:14. > :42:18.telling us at the moment? The market is in a stable place. It is not

:42:19. > :42:23.absolutely flying like it was in its absolute peak, but it is a long way

:42:24. > :42:29.better than the depths of despair in 2007. Surveys tell us sales rate the

:42:30. > :42:34.highest point in volume since that terrible time back in the financial

:42:35. > :42:38.crisis of 2007. Even though prices are not running the way they were,

:42:39. > :42:44.the number of deals is that a satisfactory level. You are saying

:42:45. > :42:49.the number of deals is at a satisfactory level. What could

:42:50. > :42:54.change? There is obviously still uncertainty to come. The European

:42:55. > :42:57.Union and Brexit. There is always a combination of factors taking place.

:42:58. > :43:03.The fundamentals of any market are the demand and availability of

:43:04. > :43:07.finance. If you have those two critical points, that should get you

:43:08. > :43:10.through these bumps in the road like general elections and referendums

:43:11. > :43:16.and those kinds of things. If you don't have those fundamentals, you

:43:17. > :43:20.can have problems. But at the moment we see that the levels of demand are

:43:21. > :43:25.good, especially with first-time buyers as well. Mortgage finance is

:43:26. > :43:28.reasonably good in relative terms. We would anticipate those would help

:43:29. > :43:34.through these other events which will make people think twice. It is

:43:35. > :43:45.about confidence. Absolutely, it is the key to the market. When you are

:43:46. > :43:52.looking at houses, do you see lots of "Sold" boards around? That makes

:43:53. > :43:59.a huge difference. Also what you hear in the news. That affects

:44:00. > :44:07.confidence either well or badly. At the moment, things are not euphoric,

:44:08. > :44:10.but there certainly stable. People are feeling reasonably confident

:44:11. > :44:14.about the market. That is helping us through other headwinds and factors.

:44:15. > :44:18.Thank you very much for your time this morning, Robert Reed. If you

:44:19. > :44:23.have time, talk to us in an hour's drive. -- time. The weather is

:44:24. > :44:29.calling. That was a live shiver. then. And I will be back in half an

:44:30. > :44:35.hour. A taste of winter though we are

:44:36. > :44:41.looking for the first half of this week. It will be far colder with

:44:42. > :44:45.some of us seeing snow. Parts of northern England are moderate but

:44:46. > :44:51.for the rest of the UK, temperatures are low. We will cease and showers

:44:52. > :44:54.not just today but also through tomorrow and Wednesday and frosty

:44:55. > :44:59.nights. So, gardeners, take note. What is happening today is we have a

:45:00. > :45:03.cold front or to thinking southwards and beyond that the air will come

:45:04. > :45:08.straight down from the Arctic. Later this evening it will be across all

:45:09. > :45:12.of us. The thing this morning, it is not. We still have high temperatures

:45:13. > :45:15.to start the day in the south but colder already across the north and

:45:16. > :45:19.that is where we are seeing some snow. Into this morning. We have got

:45:20. > :45:23.some sunshine just throughout the day across southern parts of

:45:24. > :45:27.England. Temperatures by eight o'clock around ten or 11 Celsius. As

:45:28. > :45:33.they move across the Midlands into East Anglia, it is a cloudier

:45:34. > :45:36.picture with some patchy rain. The patchy rain extends across the

:45:37. > :45:40.northern England, the Isle of Man and also southern parts of Northern

:45:41. > :45:43.Ireland that was a front means the rain is thinking south and behind it

:45:44. > :45:49.it will brighten up quite nicely. Cold, however. Some sunshine and

:45:50. > :45:53.snow, especially across a far north of Scotland, even at lower levels.

:45:54. > :45:56.Through the day, the other thing that will happen is that the wind

:45:57. > :46:00.will pick up, especially in the north but if you recall that is

:46:01. > :46:06.coming from the Arctic so what is quite accentuated. As the weather

:46:07. > :46:11.since Southee can see what happens. More showers across the east of

:46:12. > :46:15.Scotland into England. At lower levels across north-east England it

:46:16. > :46:21.is more likely to be sleet and hail a little rain in there as well. As

:46:22. > :46:24.the other weather front thinks Southee will produce patchy rain.

:46:25. > :46:28.You can see a difference in temperature. It is not cold in the

:46:29. > :46:32.south but it certainly is in the north, it will feel raw up there,

:46:33. > :46:36.especially in the wind. Through the evening and overnight, is windy.

:46:37. > :46:39.There is still a wintry flavour coming south but for Scotland into

:46:40. > :46:43.Northern Ireland and also across parts of north-east England and

:46:44. > :46:47.Wales but not all of us will see it. There will be a lot of dry weather

:46:48. > :46:55.around and we also have a widespread frost. Tomorrow we start with a

:46:56. > :46:59.strong wind, still some snow showers down to levels in the north of the

:47:00. > :47:03.country. Again in the east were likely to see some showers being

:47:04. > :47:07.wintry with a mix of hail, thunder, lightning, wet snow and we may see

:47:08. > :47:12.the odd wintry Flake over in the west but most of us will just see

:47:13. > :47:18.some rain. Wrap up warm for the next few days. Thank you very much,

:47:19. > :47:26.Carol. That was sound advice. I have got my big coat out again. General

:47:27. > :47:29.Lord Richards has told the Daily Telegraph this morning the Jeremy

:47:30. > :47:30.Corbyn should not be trusted with the defence of the nation.

:47:31. > :47:33.Yesterday Jeremy Corbyn said he would review of "all aspects"

:47:34. > :47:37.of defence if Labour won power, but refused to say whether he would

:47:38. > :47:38.keep Britain's Trident nuclear deterrent.

:47:39. > :47:42.Andrew Gwynne is Labour's National Elections and Campaign co-ordinator

:47:43. > :47:50.Good morning and thank you for joining us. There is quite a lot of

:47:51. > :47:55.pick up and I want to be quite clear this morning with you. What is

:47:56. > :48:01.Labour Party policy. Will it renew Trident. The party policy is that

:48:02. > :48:04.Trident will be renewed. That has been agreed and settled by the

:48:05. > :48:09.National policy Forum and by our annual conference. How then does

:48:10. > :48:13.Jeremy Corbyn not answer the question in the same way that you

:48:14. > :48:18.did? Well, of course, Jeremy talking about a wider defence review and we

:48:19. > :48:22.want to make sure that defence resources are spent in absolutely

:48:23. > :48:26.the right way. We have a government that supposedly is committed to

:48:27. > :48:31.spending 2% of GDP on defence was that they have only managed to meet

:48:32. > :48:36.that target by fiddling the figures to include things like pensions in

:48:37. > :48:43.that spending. Great return to the Trident question? Jeremy Corbyn is

:48:44. > :48:48.saying, and he sets yesterday that the party still having that

:48:49. > :48:56.discussion about whether or not to commit Trident Woods manifesto. The

:48:57. > :49:00.issue of Trident is settled by the Labour Party policy-making forums.

:49:01. > :49:07.It was agreed by Labour conference. And, so, that is the situation. We

:49:08. > :49:10.are committed to Trident renewal. Could you explain then how there is

:49:11. > :49:16.this divergences between the leader and the party policy? I'm not sure

:49:17. > :49:20.that there is. I think that what Jeremy was talking about was a wider

:49:21. > :49:24.defence review. We want to make sure that defence spending is put into

:49:25. > :49:29.all the right areas to meet modern needs for the defence of the realm.

:49:30. > :49:34.We ask another question about what he said, would you authorise killing

:49:35. > :49:39.of the ISIS leader was to Mark Wood that did part of policy, would you

:49:40. > :49:47.do it? I'm not sure that these things are matters for party policy.

:49:48. > :49:51.If I were given some good intelligence then I would make that

:49:52. > :49:55.decision based on the intelligence. But I do not think it is a bad

:49:56. > :49:59.thing. Jeremy Taylor not rule that out, may I point out, I do not think

:50:00. > :50:03.it is about thing to have a leader that could take considered view as

:50:04. > :50:08.to whether there would be civilian children killed in the process. If

:50:09. > :50:13.it were a clear strike on the leader of ices and there were no other

:50:14. > :50:18.casualties they would clearly, my own view is, yes, I would take that

:50:19. > :50:22.decision. You are speaking about defence. With regards to defence,

:50:23. > :50:26.what are you talking about? Are you thinking of more shot waters, more

:50:27. > :50:33.troops? Where would you find this investment? -- more soldiers. What

:50:34. > :50:38.we have seen since 2010 is the old forces cut from over 100,000

:50:39. > :50:44.personnel to fewer than 80,000. What we have seen is money wasted by the

:50:45. > :50:50.scrapping of Nimrod, the scrapping of the Harrier jump jets. We have

:50:51. > :50:55.seen a lot of waste. We think that money could be spent in a smarter

:50:56. > :50:59.way and it is not just about making sure we have enough armed personnel,

:51:00. > :51:02.it is about how we deploy them as well. So that we can get British

:51:03. > :51:07.troops involved in peacekeeping missions around the world. And will

:51:08. > :51:12.you commit to a certain number of armed personnel? We are committed to

:51:13. > :51:18.seeing at least 2% of GDP spent for defence. That is without fiddling

:51:19. > :51:22.the figures in the way that the Conservatives have done. And,

:51:23. > :51:26.clearly, there will be a defence review to decide how that money will

:51:27. > :51:30.be spent. We are entering the second week of what seems to be this

:51:31. > :51:34.campaign. When you are on the doorstep to use a Jeremy Corbyn

:51:35. > :51:39.would be of good Prime Minister for the UK? Is that what you say?

:51:40. > :51:43.Absolutely. I think that under Jeremy Laidler has got a vision for

:51:44. > :51:49.a better, fairer Britain. In Britain that will work for the many and not

:51:50. > :51:53.just a few. On education, on health, on pension, on a whole variety of

:51:54. > :51:57.policy that we have announced that we will be announcing in the days

:51:58. > :52:02.and weeks ahead. I think that people will see that sense of direction

:52:03. > :52:06.under the Labour Party is that we want to change the emphasis from

:52:07. > :52:10.just serving those at the very top to serving the vast majority of

:52:11. > :52:14.people in this country, a government works are the many are not the few.

:52:15. > :52:19.And, briefly, when will the manifesto be ready? It will be ready

:52:20. > :52:26.in early May. We have got a fast track process under the Labour Party

:52:27. > :52:29.constitution, a meeting, a clause five meeting as a technical term,

:52:30. > :52:35.all the interested parties and stakeholders will sit down and fresh

:52:36. > :52:38.direction of travel and are now went out yesterday to party member is

:52:39. > :52:42.asking for their priorities because it is crucial that we get party

:52:43. > :52:43.member feedback is world we will have a manifesto in the early weeks

:52:44. > :52:47.of May. 24 your time. You're watching

:52:48. > :52:58.Breakfast from BBC News. Some lively pictures now from one of

:52:59. > :53:03.Britain's most beautiful cathedrals this morning. Saint Davids in

:53:04. > :53:10.Pembrokeshire. It is the smallest city in Britain, bidding to become a

:53:11. > :53:13.city of culture. That honour is currently held by Hull but other

:53:14. > :53:17.places are already bidding for their chance in 2021.

:53:18. > :53:24.Good morning. We are about as far west in Wales as you can get without

:53:25. > :53:28.falling into the Irish Sea. Behind me, this is blended mediaeval

:53:29. > :53:33.gateway is the entrance to the cathedral. Behind it, the city of

:53:34. > :53:36.Saint Davids with a population of 1800. Here is the cathedral

:53:37. > :53:42.dedicated to the patron saint of Wales. What this place BB UK city of

:53:43. > :53:46.culture in 2021? In a moment I will speak to the man behind Saint

:53:47. > :53:49.Davids's did but first I have also been to another of the 11 cities

:53:50. > :54:05.lining up to the accolade. Warrington. George Crombie, famous

:54:06. > :54:12.for his ukelele playing was born here in 1904. The first IKEA opened

:54:13. > :54:16.here in 1987. In 1968 the players was made a new town in the town Hall

:54:17. > :54:22.has some spectacular gates. But culture? In Warrington? Hasn't

:54:23. > :54:28.always been at the forefront of what have been doing? No. Now, they are

:54:29. > :54:32.hoping to change all that. As we transition from the new town to the

:54:33. > :54:35.new city, that city has to have a compelling cultural offer because we

:54:36. > :54:42.know what cities that don't have that end up like. They are

:54:43. > :54:48.abandoned. They do not have vibrancy they are not a magnet of talent and

:54:49. > :54:52.for young people that they ought to be. Warrington's economic lead

:54:53. > :54:57.successful and unemployment is low. But you would not know it, looking

:54:58. > :55:01.at the town centre. This is what they call the cultural quarter. A

:55:02. > :55:04.museum and Lybrand. They say it is the oldest public library in

:55:05. > :55:10.England. A small concert Hall. The Pyramid arts Centre. But it is

:55:11. > :55:15.quiet. The truth is, people here who want theatre or major art galleries

:55:16. > :55:20.go to Liverpool or Manchester. The concert venue was called Parr Hall

:55:21. > :55:23.and outside amid a musician and promoter who said that the live

:55:24. > :55:28.music scene has enjoyed a modest revival lately but could do much

:55:29. > :55:32.better if the town was a city of culture. I have met artist from

:55:33. > :55:36.here, they do not get the opportunities here, you need to go

:55:37. > :55:42.abroad to find them, had to to Manchester, to Liverpool. So there

:55:43. > :55:46.may not be loads of stuff going on but that does not mean that people

:55:47. > :56:00.from Warrington do not have the talent and skill. # last year, Viola

:56:01. > :56:03.Davis were on the cusp of success when they and their manager were

:56:04. > :56:08.killed in a road accident. They came from Warrington. Proof that culture

:56:09. > :56:16.can flourish here alongside the soap works and the trickle Powells. That

:56:17. > :56:22.is Warrington, one of 11 cities bidding. With me now is that Mike,

:56:23. > :56:27.the head of cultural services here in Pembrokeshire. We are quite short

:56:28. > :56:31.time. Why Saint Davids? It is so tiny. Surely it cannot possibly be a

:56:32. > :56:36.city of culture question mark I think it can. It has a unique

:56:37. > :56:40.proposition. We have a world-class coastline behind us, beautiful and

:56:41. > :56:43.amazing magnificent heritage. Just something completely different from

:56:44. > :56:47.all the other cities across the UK. What we offer is going to be

:56:48. > :56:50.transformational, it will be innovative, it will be something

:56:51. > :56:55.that will blow the minds of people and I think everybody needs to get

:56:56. > :56:59.behind us to make that happen. Can I have one big event, one big thing

:57:00. > :57:03.that you hope to achieve that as a city of culture? We will have a huge

:57:04. > :57:06.number of events. The main thing, rather than one thing, the thing is

:57:07. > :57:11.the inclusivity of this programme. Much as things that people think

:57:12. > :57:14.about, theatre, opera, art, culture is for every body. People who

:57:15. > :57:18.skateboarder doing culture, people who watch soap operas is doing

:57:19. > :57:21.culture. There will be a whole range of activities for everyone to get

:57:22. > :57:25.behind. Good luck. 11 cities bidding and yours is one of thumb. Good

:57:26. > :57:26.luck. We will be down there throughout the morning. It is quite

:57:27. > :57:28.lovely down there. Time now to get the news,

:57:29. > :00:50.travel and weather where you are. Temperatures make a slight recovery

:00:51. > :00:53.by the end of the week. Vanessa Phelps is on BBC London

:00:54. > :00:56.with a breakfast show until then. This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker

:00:57. > :01:02.and Louise Minchin. A political earthquake in France

:01:03. > :01:05.as two outsiders are chosen for the final stage

:01:06. > :01:07.of the presidential election. The National Front's Marine Le Pen

:01:08. > :01:10.and the centrist, Emmanuel Macron, will go head to head

:01:11. > :01:23.in two weeks' time. A manhunt is launched

:01:24. > :01:34.after the death of a ex-Royal Navy officer killed trying

:01:35. > :01:37.to stop burglars steal his The police describe it

:01:38. > :01:42.as beyond criminal. This could have happened

:01:43. > :01:44.to absolutely anybody. You hear a noise downstairs

:01:45. > :01:47.and go and see what it is. The moment that defined

:01:48. > :01:51.the London Marathon. A selfless runner gives up his race

:01:52. > :01:55.time to help another competitor Today, I'm talking about the housing

:01:56. > :02:04.market, as new research says average But as sales fall, I'll be looking

:02:05. > :02:10.at what is going on. In sport, Sanchez

:02:11. > :02:11.shines for Arsenal. His winner in extra-time sees them

:02:12. > :02:15.book their place in the FA Cup final And this is St Davids

:02:16. > :02:22.in south-west Wales. We'll be live there later

:02:23. > :02:40.as the search for the next UK City Good morning. Chills will be

:02:41. > :02:45.multiplying. Called for the first half of the week. Snow, not just

:02:46. > :02:57.today, but tomorrow and Wednesday. -- snow. Averages will start to

:02:58. > :02:59.climb next week. I will have details in 15 minutes. Don't lose control,

:03:00. > :03:00.Carol. See you later. French voters have rejected the two

:03:01. > :03:04.traditional ruling parties, with their candidates

:03:05. > :03:07.being knocked out in the first Instead, the pro-European,

:03:08. > :03:11.Emmanuel Macron, is set to face the far-right leader,

:03:14. > :03:17.as favourite as our Europe correspondent, James

:03:18. > :03:20.Reynolds, reports Emmanuel Macron is France's

:03:21. > :03:22.newcomer, and now the winner of this

:03:23. > :03:25.election's first round. He is an insider who's

:03:26. > :03:28.run as an outsider. The 39-year-old is a pro-EU,

:03:29. > :03:32.pro-business centrist. He resigned as a minister in order

:03:33. > :03:35.to form his own political movement. TRANSLATION: I hope

:03:36. > :03:40.that in a fortnight, His supporters believe that the rest

:03:41. > :03:50.of the country will now This is Emmanuel Macron's

:03:51. > :03:55.first election. The French people

:03:56. > :03:59.still hardly know him. He's now the favourite to become

:04:00. > :04:07.this country's next president. Marine Le Pen, the Front Nationale

:04:08. > :04:10.leader, will fight Mr Macron She won more votes than the party

:04:11. > :04:18.has ever won before, and matches her Jean-Marie father's

:04:19. > :04:21.achievement 15 years ago in reaching TRANSLATION: The French people must

:04:22. > :04:24.take this historic opportunity because the biggest issue

:04:25. > :04:26.is the globalisation that is putting our

:04:27. > :04:35.civilisation in danger. In Bastille Square in Paris,

:04:36. > :04:38.some left-wing protesters faced off These demonstrators were angered

:04:39. > :04:41.by the results of this vote. They, and the rest of the country,

:04:42. > :04:44.will have their final say Police have begun a murder inquiry

:04:45. > :04:57.after a former Royal Navy officer was killed by thieves

:04:58. > :04:59.who stole his car from Michael Samwell, 35,

:05:06. > :05:12.at a house in the early hours Michael Samwell and his wife

:05:13. > :05:20.were woken up by a loud noise, and the former Royal Naval Officer

:05:21. > :05:29.went downstairs to have a look. The exact sequence of events that

:05:30. > :05:32.followed is not clear, but outside, now cordoned off,

:05:33. > :05:35.the 35 year old was run over He was taken to hospital

:05:36. > :05:45.where he later died of his injuries. The car was found abandoned

:05:46. > :05:48.a few miles away. You hear a noise downstairs

:05:49. > :05:53.and you go and see what it is. It is incredibly tragic

:05:54. > :05:55.he has lost his life. This is described as a quiet

:05:56. > :05:58.corner of Manchester. And gathered in silence,

:05:59. > :06:00.people came to pay their respects, Over a materialistic item, a car,

:06:01. > :06:08.you take somebody's life. I am a bit shaken up

:06:09. > :06:19.because obviously it is close Whoever is responsible

:06:20. > :06:25.is still on the run. One theory is they did break

:06:26. > :06:28.in simply to get their hands If that is the case, it leads

:06:29. > :06:32.to a far more serious enquiry. Jeremy Corbyn is promising to repeal

:06:33. > :06:37.what he calls "vicious" trade union legislation, brought

:06:38. > :06:38.in by the Conservatives, The Labour leader is making his

:06:39. > :06:43.first campaign visit to Scotland today, where his party is trying

:06:44. > :06:46.to claw back support after huge losses in the election

:06:47. > :06:48.two years ago. Our political correspondent,

:06:49. > :06:56.Chris Mason, is in Westminster In some ways it was quite a tough

:06:57. > :07:01.day for Jeremy Corbyn yesterday. Good morning. It was tough. It could

:07:02. > :07:08.write to the heart of the problem for Jeremy Corbyn since he became

:07:09. > :07:14.Labour leader. He has a set of views that are just very, very different

:07:15. > :07:18.from a lot of his MPs. Where it was particularly sticky for him

:07:19. > :07:22.yesterday is when he was pushed on the Andrew Marr Show on BBC One

:07:23. > :07:26.whether or not he would renew the nuclear deterrent of the UK if he

:07:27. > :07:29.was Prime Minister. He has been opposed to it his whole life. He

:07:30. > :07:35.said that policy was still under discussion. The thing is, lots of

:07:36. > :07:41.other Labour types, including frontbenchers, have said no, no, no,

:07:42. > :07:46.it is Labour policy that it will be renewed under a Labour government. A

:07:47. > :07:49.frontbencher was sitting in this very seed a few minutes ago. You

:07:50. > :07:53.will see the political equivalent of gaffer tape being used to take over

:07:54. > :08:01.the gap between party policy and the leader. The issue of Trident is

:08:02. > :08:08.settled by the Labour Party's policy making conferences. That is the

:08:09. > :08:13.situation. We are committed to Trident renewal. You can be certain

:08:14. > :08:19.that the Conservatives will absolutely hammer Labour on this.

:08:20. > :08:24.Today, and again and again during the campaign. Jeremy Corbyn will try

:08:25. > :08:28.to change the focus. He is in Scotland addressing the Congress. He

:08:29. > :08:36.will talk about the idea of a ?10 minimum wage. Interestingly, the SNP

:08:37. > :08:40.First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, also at the same Congress a little

:08:41. > :08:44.later on, is saying Labour are no longer her big threat in Scotland,

:08:45. > :08:49.instead it is the Conservatives. One poll over the weekend suggested the

:08:50. > :08:54.Conservatives would make a significant gain in Scotland in

:08:55. > :08:56.June. And we will speak to Michael Fallon at ten past eight. Thank you

:08:57. > :08:57.very much for that. Two men are due to appear in court

:08:58. > :09:01.today, charged in connection with an acid attack at a nightclub

:09:02. > :09:04.in east London on Easter Monday, which left two people

:09:05. > :09:06.blind in one eye. Arthur Collins, who's 24

:09:19. > :09:21.grievous bodily harm. Tougher punishments for the most

:09:22. > :09:24.serious cases of speeding have come into force in England

:09:25. > :09:25.and Wales today. Drivers can now be fined 1.5

:09:26. > :09:28.times their weekly wage That means driving over 50 miles

:09:29. > :09:33.an hour in a 30 zone or 100 miles The Government will go

:09:34. > :09:41.to the High Court to try to delay publishing its strategy

:09:42. > :09:43.for tackling air pollution. Today was the deadline for ministers

:09:44. > :09:46.to present their plans, but they claim voting rules mean

:09:47. > :09:49.they can't publish sensitive policies before

:09:50. > :09:50.the General Election. Campaigners say they're trying

:09:51. > :09:53.to dodge a difficult issue. Our environment analyst,

:09:54. > :10:03.Roger Harrabin, reports. Britain's filthy air was supposed

:10:04. > :10:07.to have been cleaned up by 2010. But governments found

:10:08. > :10:09.the task hard and expensive, Until campaigners at the High Court

:10:10. > :10:15.won their case that ministers had a legal duty to protect

:10:16. > :10:24.people from pollution. Today, the 24th of April,

:10:25. > :10:27.was the date stipulated by the judge for the air pollution policy

:10:40. > :10:45.in breach of election rules. Here's the real reason

:10:46. > :10:48.for the bid to delay, say green campaigners,

:10:49. > :10:49.dirty diesel cars. And government dithering over

:10:50. > :10:55.a pollution tax rate They had five months to come up

:10:56. > :11:00.with a new plan and have waited People are suffering in health

:11:01. > :11:11.from the air they are breathing.. It is a public health issue,

:11:12. > :11:15.not a political one. If ministers persuade the judge

:11:16. > :11:18.to delay, any prickly political decisions will come

:11:19. > :11:19.after the election. Over 40,000 runners crossed

:11:20. > :11:22.the London Marathon finish And while a record number

:11:23. > :11:26.of competitors took part in the race, this is the moment

:11:27. > :11:29.everyone is talking about. Matthew Rees stopped his race

:11:30. > :11:31.to help David Wyeth cross The organisers have praised Mr Rees,

:11:32. > :11:35.saying he "encompassed everything that's so special about

:11:36. > :11:37.the London Marathon." We'll be reuniting the duo just

:11:38. > :12:06.after half past seven. I hope you had an amazing day and

:12:07. > :12:10.you are feeling OK. Many people are walking like Thunderbirds this

:12:11. > :12:13.morning. I am sure it was worth it. Loads of money earned for charity.

:12:14. > :12:16.A group of British firms has unveiled plans to test driverless

:12:17. > :12:20.cars on city roads and motorways in the UK, for the first time.

:12:21. > :12:22.The Driven Consortium, backed by government money,

:12:23. > :12:24.intends to try out a fleet of autonomous vehicles

:12:25. > :12:29.So far, trials of driverless vehicles in the UK have mainly taken

:12:30. > :12:34.place at slow speeds and not on public roads.

:12:35. > :12:36.A 12-year-old who was trying to drive across the entire breadth

:12:39. > :12:42.The boy was already 800 miles into his journey when he was pulled

:12:59. > :13:06.I always thought it would take a lot longer than that to drive across

:13:07. > :13:09.Australia. So, he was 12! There are certainly questions about how he

:13:10. > :13:15.managed to do that, really. I am perplexed by that. It has worried

:13:16. > :13:29.you? As he fill up with petrol, where are his parents? Ted Hastings

:13:30. > :13:39.will be with us at 840, by the way. If you have not seen the episode

:13:40. > :13:41.last night, due warning. Spoiler alerts. Era when the lot for me this

:13:42. > :13:51.morning. -- You ruined. France is entering unfamiliar

:13:52. > :13:53.political waters following the first round of their

:13:54. > :13:55.presidential election. Voters rejected traditional parties

:13:56. > :13:57.in favour of two outsiders. Only a few months ago,

:13:58. > :14:00.Emmanuel Macron left government to set up his own

:14:01. > :14:01.political movement. His opponent, Marine Le Pen,

:14:02. > :14:04.is the leader of the far-right We can now speak to the BBC's

:14:05. > :14:15.Karin Giannone, who is in Paris Good morning. There is so much to

:14:16. > :14:20.discuss. Good morning from Paris. France is waking up from some of the

:14:21. > :14:24.political earthquakes they had, although they were predicted. The

:14:25. > :14:28.fact the two main political parties in France that have dominated the

:14:29. > :14:32.scene for more than 50 years have been wiped off the map in the first

:14:33. > :14:42.round of the presidential election. I have two

:14:43. > :14:52.guests. A warm welcome to both of you. How much of a shock to the

:14:53. > :14:56.landscape is this? Less of a shock than you think. For the first time

:14:57. > :15:04.in several years, pollsters got it absolutely right. The likelihood is

:15:05. > :15:07.that Macron will be elected will be a continuation of the previous

:15:08. > :15:15.government where he was a minister. Fewer surprises. Marine Le Pen is

:15:16. > :15:18.doing extremely well. The Socialist Party is dead, which is an

:15:19. > :15:26.interesting thing in itself. There is a resilient force in France for a

:15:27. > :15:32.very Corbynised left-wing. The biggest surprise is probably that

:15:33. > :15:37.the isn't a surprise. You heard Anne Elizabeth saying it will be Emmanuel

:15:38. > :15:43.Macron who wins this. You disagree? Of cost. That is why we have

:15:44. > :15:51.campaigned. I think that last night's results are tremendous,

:15:52. > :15:58.despite the fact that most media in France are backing up Macron. And

:15:59. > :16:03.despite that, Marine Le Pen has done well. We will campaign to show the

:16:04. > :16:09.French citizens why we should vote for her. As the party detoxified its

:16:10. > :16:19.image? We heard accusations even last night of races and intolerance.

:16:20. > :16:24.-- racism. I know there are failures they are trying to hide by using the

:16:25. > :16:29.fear factor in trying to express things like racism, which is not

:16:30. > :16:34.true. Marine Le Pen is in favour of a patriotic France gathering

:16:35. > :16:38.together for a positive future. Macron does not even believe in

:16:39. > :16:47.French culture. Be choice is quite clear. -- the. Why is this so

:16:48. > :16:50.important if you are looking from outside France? Certainly in the UK

:16:51. > :16:51.people are wondering what the difference is between the two

:16:52. > :17:05.candidates. Macron was courageous in that he

:17:06. > :17:11.campaigned on a completely pro- Europe campaign. There were no

:17:12. > :17:19.missed giving is, no buts. That was brave because we felt there was an

:17:20. > :17:23.unbroken narrative. He has now managed to do well in this with a

:17:24. > :17:34.party that he created only one year ago. Waving their flags. That is a

:17:35. > :17:40.change. Before Brexit it was a bit different because with the

:17:41. > :17:45.government and everything, the notion of punishing Britain and not

:17:46. > :17:49.allowing Britain to get away with not playing by the rules and still

:17:50. > :17:59.getting exactly, is the same thing as when she was a member of the EU,

:18:00. > :18:03.that has been Macron's line as well. We have 13 days until it all happens

:18:04. > :18:17.all over again when those two candidates will be reduced to one on

:18:18. > :18:21.May seven. Thank you very much. It is not easy to do. Beautiful skies

:18:22. > :18:26.in central London this morning. Isn't that lovely? We will be live

:18:27. > :18:29.there in 30 minutes. We have to marathon runners, one who helped the

:18:30. > :18:32.other over the line. What a beautiful day that is. It looks

:18:33. > :18:40.gorgeous, doesn't it? Carol has a big coat a warning for us. Hello,

:18:41. > :18:43.Carol. Good morning to you both. You are quite right. It is beautiful

:18:44. > :18:46.currently in London with temperatures at seven or eight

:18:47. > :18:51.Celsius but chilly elsewhere in the country with frost and wintry

:18:52. > :18:56.showers are in the forecast. It snows across four of northern

:18:57. > :19:01.Scotland. A few fronts moving south behind those we pull in this cold

:19:02. > :19:05.Arctic air it has crossed the northern half a country already and

:19:06. > :19:11.it will get across all areas by the time we get to midnight. We have two

:19:12. > :19:17.distinctive bands of patchy rain and another one of snow. Both across

:19:18. > :19:19.northern England, Wales and the Midlands, East Anglia heading south

:19:20. > :19:22.but for Southern counties there are some sunshine around first thing

:19:23. > :19:26.this morning. The cloud will continue to build from the

:19:27. > :19:30.north-west. A little patchy rain across Wales into the Midlands, East

:19:31. > :19:33.Anglia but it is patchy. The other band across northern England and

:19:34. > :19:37.also Northern Ireland are both heading south so brightening up

:19:38. > :19:41.behind both but it is cold across Scotland, the of Ireland first thing

:19:42. > :19:45.in many have the snow showers across the north, even at low levels. The

:19:46. > :19:48.other feature of the weather today is that the wind is going to

:19:49. > :19:53.strengthen, particularly so where you are exposed wood across north.

:19:54. > :19:56.It will touch powerful. But it is coming from a cool direction so that

:19:57. > :20:00.will really accentuate the cold feel. And through the day we will

:20:01. > :20:03.see some of the showers just moved east coast of Scotland into the far

:20:04. > :20:07.north-east of England. Those ones, again, they will have a wintry mix

:20:08. > :20:13.in them, perhaps some snow, mostly in the hills but a mixture of sleet

:20:14. > :20:16.and hail as well. Meanwhile, our rain band continues to push south

:20:17. > :20:20.into southern England defender broken up this question at cloud

:20:21. > :20:23.will build. Here we hang on to high temperatures with the cold air

:20:24. > :20:27.filtering down and will continue to do so behind this band of rain as we

:20:28. > :20:31.head into the evening and overnight. Under clear skies were looking at

:20:32. > :20:35.widespread frost. Snow continues in the north, we dry south, from

:20:36. > :20:39.showers across the north of Ireland in eastern parts of England and also

:20:40. > :20:43.north Wales as well. So watch out for ice on services first thing in

:20:44. > :20:48.the morning. After the cold start there will be a lot of sunshine and

:20:49. > :20:52.wintry and is coming out of showers. Almost anywhere but, the thing is

:20:53. > :20:56.with showers, not all of us will catch them and it is going to feel

:20:57. > :21:01.cold as we go through the day tomorrow with temperatures between

:21:02. > :21:04.about six and 11 degrees. As we head on into Wednesday we will still have

:21:05. > :21:09.some wintry showers coming out of the showers but a lot of them will

:21:10. > :21:12.be rain and, really, this is the last day for very cold conditions

:21:13. > :21:16.because as we head into the second part of the week and into the

:21:17. > :21:19.weekend, the temperature will slowly start to come back. So you'll be

:21:20. > :21:24.able to put away your big winter coat again by the time we go to the

:21:25. > :21:32.weekend. That is very good to know. I know you're excited, Carol. I

:21:33. > :21:40.cannot wait and a good listen to them talking all day. I'm sure he

:21:41. > :21:41.would you a wee girl. If he calls me fell on BBC breakfast, that will be

:21:42. > :21:45.the highlight of my entire career. Let's get the latest

:21:46. > :21:47.business news now - Steph's talking house prices

:21:48. > :21:59.and currency this morning... Good morning, fella. Nice to see

:22:00. > :22:05.you. Let me tell you what is going on. The data from one of the biggest

:22:06. > :22:10.property website says the average asking price of houses are at a

:22:11. > :22:14.record ?313,000. That is up 2.2% compared to last year but it is

:22:15. > :22:18.actually the slowest growth of four year with finesse. It is obviously

:22:19. > :22:24.not just what people are asking it is also what people are paying those

:22:25. > :22:28.that statistic show that on the whole, how is prices are growing at

:22:29. > :22:32.half the race they were last summer. There has been movement on the

:22:33. > :22:35.currency market as well. This is off the back of the French presidential

:22:36. > :22:39.election. Of course, that was all coming in overnight from the first

:22:40. > :22:42.round and the value of the euro is actually... Excuse me, I have a

:22:43. > :22:46.cough at the moment. I keep coughing. It is a five month high

:22:47. > :22:51.against the dollar. It rose against the pound as well so this morning

:22:52. > :22:57.the euro was... You may have to jump in and help me. I will give you an

:22:58. > :23:03.update on how the stock market is doing when they open. This is a

:23:04. > :23:07.clear classic sign of how you know when you first delight you have

:23:08. > :23:11.grown up. You may be other legally vote drink alcohol at 18 but

:23:12. > :23:14.research from nationwide says it is not until the age of 27 that you

:23:15. > :23:20.feel grown up. I was asking myself this earlier, what made you feel

:23:21. > :23:26.grown-up? For me, I felt it when I purchased toilet paper. It did not

:23:27. > :23:30.just appear in your house. Probably when I had to buy and I'm pants. You

:23:31. > :23:35.rely on your parents to purchase them full I'm not sure... I often

:23:36. > :23:41.don't feel like a grown up. That is a good point. Even though I am

:23:42. > :23:44.obviously I am. I need to go rescue myself now. Well done. She's

:23:45. > :23:58.soldiered on. Gen 723 this morning. The Calais was home to migrants

:23:59. > :24:02.looking for a route into the UK. Six months ago it was shut down on the

:24:03. > :24:05.authorities say there are only 100 migrants still in the French pork.

:24:06. > :24:12.The new report seen exclusively by this programme puts the figure at

:24:13. > :24:16.four time with finesse that. Our breakfast reporter has been to

:24:17. > :24:17.northern France to see the impact of the closure of the camp.

:24:18. > :24:20.Six months after the jungle closed, the centre of Calais

:24:21. > :24:28.The port, so long a destination for migrants is now

:24:29. > :24:46.Before we had 8000 migrants per month that we would discover,

:24:47. > :24:50.The Jungle was home to some 10,000 migrants.

:24:51. > :24:54.It came to be seen by the authorities

:24:55. > :24:57.as a magnet for people wanting to get to Britain.

:24:58. > :25:12.When he crosses the border into France,

:25:13. > :25:18.Although it is safe getting in and out of France

:25:19. > :25:23.the problem now is that you do not feel safe in more areas of France.

:27:02. > :27:09.The French determined another account will not be established.

:27:10. > :27:13.The problem here has been alleviated but

:35:27. > :35:29.the right response and stayed So, no trophy for Pep Guardiola this

:35:30. > :36:04.year, and Manchester United are breathing down their rivals'

:36:05. > :36:07.necks in the Premier League. A 2-0 win at Burnley means

:36:08. > :36:10.Jose Mourinho's side are now just a point behind City and the fourth

:36:11. > :36:13.Champions League spot. Which gives Thursday's Manchester

:38:44. > :38:47.40,000 people that did the marathon yesterday. Well done. I hope you

:38:48. > :38:57.feel OK this morning. But there was one picture through

:38:58. > :39:02.all of the tears that summed it all up. These pictures are amazing.

:39:03. > :39:04.It's the unforgettable moment from this year's London Marathon,

:39:05. > :39:07.an exhausted runner being helped across the finish line

:39:08. > :39:10.Matthew Rees sacrificed his own race to half push,

:39:11. > :39:13.half pull David Wyeth up The Mall to the finish line.

:39:14. > :39:17.We'll be reuniting the two in a moment for the first time

:39:18. > :39:20.But first let's have a look at the incredible effort

:39:21. > :39:26.This is so hard. Every single part of his body is shutting down. We are

:39:27. > :39:30.seeing the camaraderie of the marathon and the spirit. All of

:39:31. > :39:33.these people want to break there time. They are still stopping to

:39:34. > :39:37.help him. Incredible scenes. 175 metres down. The Royals have joined.

:39:38. > :39:42.You can see Prince William and Prince Harry looking out in

:39:43. > :39:47.disbelief at what they are seeing. The camaraderie, which is what it is

:39:48. > :39:55.all about. They are sacrificing what could be a PB. Who knows? They are

:39:56. > :39:59.trying to get them over the line. James, I know you have just run your

:40:00. > :40:08.own fantastic race, but when you see that, that kind of sums up, doesn't

:40:09. > :40:11.it, what it is all about. It shows the selfless nature of the runners.

:40:12. > :40:13.I saw the same kind of thing happening when I went past.

:40:14. > :40:17.Joining us now from Tower Bridge in London are the reunited runners,

:40:18. > :40:27.Thank you, both, so much for joining us. What an amazing thing. Both of

:40:28. > :40:33.you look well. But, David, you did not look well yesterday. How are you

:40:34. > :40:37.feeling? I did not, did I? I feel great. Thank you so much for asking.

:40:38. > :40:43.I feel recovered, but a little bit sore. Tell us about that moment when

:40:44. > :40:48.you first caught sight of David. Did you immediately think I have to help

:40:49. > :40:52.him? What kind of state was he in? I took the final corner ready to

:40:53. > :40:57.sprint the final couple of metres. Then I saw David and his legs

:40:58. > :41:02.completely collapse beneath him. I thought I need to help this guy and

:41:03. > :41:06.he needs to get to the finish. 26 miles, the finish is just there. It

:41:07. > :41:10.was important we get to the end and cross together. It is a beautiful

:41:11. > :41:14.image. I know you have been saying that anyone would have done it. I

:41:15. > :41:21.think many people this morning contacted are saying they would not

:41:22. > :41:28.have done it, and some said that you did it, and that is the point. It is

:41:29. > :41:32.great if I have inspired anyone. I think anyone would have done the

:41:33. > :41:36.same thing. Is not me, the next runner. It is just about being human

:41:37. > :41:42.and seeing someone struggling and helping them out. Tell us, what were

:41:43. > :41:47.you saying to David? We can see you quite clearly chatting. What were

:41:48. > :41:51.you saying? It looks like I was quite angry. I was trying to

:41:52. > :41:56.motivate him. I was saying the finish is right there, we will

:41:57. > :42:02.finish, you can do it. I just wanted him to get to the end. David, give

:42:03. > :42:09.us an idea of what you were going through. Sorry, carry on. He said I

:42:10. > :42:14.am determined to get there. That is the problem. I was so determined

:42:15. > :42:23.that I got the idea we were going to make it happen. Many people here

:42:24. > :42:28.either have run a marathon, and they will know that three hours is a lot,

:42:29. > :42:32.they will know the feeling of giving up in your body. Could you even hear

:42:33. > :42:36.what he was saying to you? My head was clear enough for the

:42:37. > :42:41.conversation. What was going through my head was, don't you stop, you

:42:42. > :42:46.need to keep going. This is kind of my problem. In fact, when the

:42:47. > :42:52.volunteer came over, you know, I was still really keen. He just dropped

:42:53. > :42:57.me and got a good time. Obviously, we had never met, so I did not know

:42:58. > :43:02.his circumstances as well. As you mentioned earlier, he could well

:43:03. > :43:07.have been on for a personal best. I did not know that. I was frustrated

:43:08. > :43:12.he was giving up his race. I know how important it is. Many people

:43:13. > :43:18.want to know, did you get a PB, were you on for one? What happened? No.

:43:19. > :43:23.Early on in the race my calf seized up and I was in pain. Most of the

:43:24. > :43:28.race for me was I need to finish and that is my accomplishment,

:43:29. > :43:32.finishing. When I saw David struggling, it was the same thing

:43:33. > :43:36.for him. He needed to make it. It seemed the perfect ending for my

:43:37. > :43:41.race to help him across. And yet he was telling me to go on, but I just

:43:42. > :43:48.wanted to make sure he did get to the finish line and was not taken to

:43:49. > :43:53.the side. I am so grateful. Yes. I can't say how grateful I am because

:43:54. > :43:59.you say that, Matthew, that others would have stopped. I am sure they

:44:00. > :44:09.would have been others. But you persisted. I told you to go and you

:44:10. > :44:15.did not. Such a gentleman. You are making me cry, the terror of you. A

:44:16. > :44:21.great day for Swansea as well. Have you had a drink yet? Will he remain

:44:22. > :44:24.in touch? What is going to happen? We will definitely stay in touch. We

:44:25. > :44:29.have been through something incredible together. A marathon I

:44:30. > :44:34.will never forget. It does sum up the running community as well. We

:44:35. > :44:38.are really pleased you have seen this. It got caught on the cameras.

:44:39. > :44:43.This stuff happens all over the place in races up and down the

:44:44. > :44:52.country. And I am grateful that he demonstrated what it is like. I have

:44:53. > :45:01.had references and people say that we were rivals. We were not rivals.

:45:02. > :45:07.I am pleased everyone saw that. A beautiful story. I am afraid we lost

:45:08. > :45:14.a bit of the line there right at the end. How incredible. That is what it

:45:15. > :46:15.is all about. That is very much the running community.

:46:16. > :46:29.a couple of fronts heading south and behind the cold air is streaming in.

:46:30. > :46:36.If you are in the wind, it will feel bitter. We have the wintry nurse at

:46:37. > :46:40.moment, snow to low levels. There is a band of rain sinking south across

:46:41. > :46:44.the south of England at the moment with sunshine but the cloud will

:46:45. > :46:49.build as we go through the course of the morning. Behind that, however,

:46:50. > :46:52.darker skies. Still more snow to come through the course of the day,

:46:53. > :46:56.eastern Scotland into the north-east of England we are looking at wintry

:46:57. > :47:05.showers in the very nature suggests that we will see them. The two

:47:06. > :47:09.fronts heading south will be down towards the Isle of Wight and over

:47:10. > :47:13.towards the south-west of England and south Wales. The rain on them

:47:14. > :47:18.will be fairly patchy but the cloud will be far noticeable than this

:47:19. > :47:25.morning. As we push into north Wales, it will begin to brighten up.

:47:26. > :47:30.Across Northern Ireland you could see some winter in a few of the

:47:31. > :47:34.showers but mostly on the hills. In the evening and are tonight it is

:47:35. > :47:38.still windy with snow falling across northern and central parts of

:47:39. > :47:42.Scotland and the east coast we could also see some wintry and is in good

:47:43. > :47:46.season wintry sun showers across Northern Ireland and north Wales for

:47:47. > :47:49.a time. There will be dry weather and clear skies so there will be

:47:50. > :47:54.frost and there will also be the risk of ice on untreated surfaces.

:47:55. > :47:58.It is all happening. Tomorrow we start off on a cold note that there

:47:59. > :48:06.will be sunshine. A plethora showers, some wintry, and some

:48:07. > :48:09.falling as sleet and hail with the risk of Thunder and lightning. In

:48:10. > :48:15.between we will see some sunshine. It will still feel quite raw,

:48:16. > :48:22.particularly in the north. On Wednesday, while we have some rain,

:48:23. > :48:26.still nothing substantial. Patchy in nature, more rain coming in across

:48:27. > :48:30.the north and north-west in between bright skies and then as we head

:48:31. > :48:34.into the second part of the weekend, that a richer once again will start

:48:35. > :48:43.to pick up. Until then, get your winter woollies out because you will

:48:44. > :48:50.need them. I am still... Act here mode. An emotional high after

:48:51. > :48:55.listening to those runners. That is the sort of thing, if you need

:48:56. > :49:03.motivation then hopefully... Hopefully they have raised your pep

:49:04. > :49:08.this morning. Steph, Steph, can we talk about the housing market? I

:49:09. > :49:10.don't know if that would help but let's give it a go.

:49:11. > :49:13.This is data from one of the biggest property websites Rightmove

:49:14. > :49:16.who say that average asking prices are at a record of ?313,000.

:49:17. > :49:18.That's up 2.2% compared to last year.

:49:19. > :49:21.And is the slowest growth in asking prices for four years.

:49:22. > :49:24.Also, it's obviously not just about what people are asking,

:49:25. > :49:31.And house prices are growing at half the rate since last summer

:49:32. > :49:34.Rising inflation is hitting our pockets too -

:49:35. > :49:41.which could put pressure on the market.

:49:42. > :49:51.I'm joined now by Jodie. Jodie, it is about how buyers and sellers are

:49:52. > :49:55.feeling about the economy when it comes to what is happening in the

:49:56. > :49:58.market. Or is a change in confidence at the moment so it talks about the

:49:59. > :50:03.house price research and house prices are still growing but they

:50:04. > :50:07.are growing to a much lower rate than we have seen before. There is

:50:08. > :50:10.some disparity across the country in that as well. So what we're seeing

:50:11. > :50:14.is slowing down in the growth of house prices and we have also

:50:15. > :50:17.recently seen a reversal in the trend in terms of retail sales and a

:50:18. > :50:22.quarter on quarter decline. Interesting, isn't it? A bit of a

:50:23. > :50:29.surprise. We are an economy driven by consumer spending so when we feel

:50:30. > :50:32.rates is -- when we see retail sales take a hit that is a concern.

:50:33. > :50:36.Exactly. The economy is fuelled by the consumer over the last two or

:50:37. > :50:42.three years and, in particular, in the last nine months. There have

:50:43. > :50:46.been no let up in spending. I think, however, in terms of surprise, not

:50:47. > :50:50.necessarily inflation is starting to bite, it is inflation over 2% now

:50:51. > :50:54.and it is really starting to hit the consumer. And inflation, of course,

:50:55. > :50:58.is the rise in the cost of living and that is been changing because of

:50:59. > :51:03.what has been going on politically. So... Can you explain that? We see

:51:04. > :51:09.inflation driving up prices, driving up commodity prices and the impact

:51:10. > :51:13.of the deep valuation of sterling means it costs us more to purchase

:51:14. > :51:17.things which therefore hits our disposable income and hits our

:51:18. > :51:23.discretionary spend. We are not the only economy that sees its was the

:51:24. > :51:27.devaluation is an important factor, other economies also suffer at the

:51:28. > :51:30.moment. And what is the general election normally different economy?

:51:31. > :51:35.I was a surprise when that was announced. Definitely a surprise. In

:51:36. > :51:38.terms of a snap election. It is very different, however, to a normal

:51:39. > :51:44.election. Just 45 days away now so it really is what it says on the

:51:45. > :51:48.tin. There is still a risk of destruction when people talking

:51:49. > :51:52.about the election and all of the politics go around it. However, it

:51:53. > :52:01.is a much lower level than we normally see on the impact of will

:52:02. > :52:05.have a bigger effect on retail. At least it is not long to go until the

:52:06. > :52:08.election. It saves us having to discuss it too often. Thank you very

:52:09. > :52:15.much, Steph. It's Britain's smallest city

:52:16. > :52:19.and is bidding for the chance That honour is currently held

:52:20. > :52:24.by Hull but already towns and cities are lining up for their chance

:52:25. > :52:39.of winning the accolade in 2021. Good morning, Nick. Looking lovely

:52:40. > :52:42.here and you can hear the bells of the cathedral here timing as they

:52:43. > :52:48.summon people to morning service. This is, as you say, the smallest

:52:49. > :52:53.city in written, a population of 1800, no more than a large village

:52:54. > :52:57.but it has ambition. It is one of the 11 places bidding to become the

:52:58. > :53:01.UK city of culture in 20 to anyone. But find out what it has too far.

:53:02. > :53:07.Paul runs hotels here in the city. Make your pitch. Why then David?

:53:08. > :53:11.There is something special here. We punch above our weight in terms of

:53:12. > :53:18.culture. We have something special in our landscape, not merely the

:53:19. > :53:22.cathedral and Art galleries, we are the art capital of Wales, but also

:53:23. > :53:28.the landscape. We are preserved by the National Park nearby so the

:53:29. > :53:35.opportunity for the government is to offer the offer from regeneration

:53:36. > :53:41.and community support as opposed to just an urban city. All the talk

:53:42. > :53:46.about the surrounding area as well, surely you have not got, have you,

:53:47. > :53:50.enough cloud here or in a free sources to mount a serious bid?

:53:51. > :53:54.Absolutely. We already host major events like a cliff diving

:53:55. > :53:59.championship, iron man, major events come here. We have a major festival

:54:00. > :54:04.of the cathedral every year. An international music festival takes

:54:05. > :54:11.place. And it involves the whole region. An amazing cultural artistic

:54:12. > :54:15.community. We have events going throughout all the year and we have

:54:16. > :54:20.the capacity to take more visitors here. Cornwall has 12 times more

:54:21. > :54:24.visitors than us. Our infrastructure is better than Cornwall and we are

:54:25. > :54:28.more accessible and the potential here needs to be filled. You are

:54:29. > :54:32.doing quite well here. It is a lovely spot with a vigorous tourist

:54:33. > :54:36.injury Street. There are big cities such as Sunderland, places that need

:54:37. > :54:40.it more that really... The boost to being city of culture but that would

:54:41. > :54:45.bring, it would make a tremendous difference. Would make a difference

:54:46. > :54:49.here? This is a small community. The meeting we have here is tourism and

:54:50. > :54:54.farming in most of the farmers have to diversify into tourism and there

:54:55. > :54:57.are underprivileged backgrounds and community see the really benefit

:54:58. > :55:03.from regeneration. It keeps people here in Pembrokeshire, inspires them

:55:04. > :55:07.to inspire a career in hospitality instead of going outside the county

:55:08. > :55:13.to work in a big city. There is so much... And it is the C. This will

:55:14. > :55:19.help generations here for years to come. -- it is the legacy. 11 cities

:55:20. > :55:24.bidding, they need to get their applications in by the end of the

:55:25. > :55:30.week. We will learn which city will be successful in December. Thank you

:03:22. > :03:27.favourite to become this country's next president. Marine Le Pen, the

:03:28. > :03:31.foreign national leader, will fight Emmanuel Macron in the final round.

:03:32. > :03:35.She won more votes than the party has ever won before. It matches her

:03:36. > :03:43.father's achievement 15 years ago in reaching a presidential run-off.

:03:44. > :03:46.TRANSLATION: The French people must take this historic opportunity,

:03:47. > :03:55.because the biggest issue is the globalisation that is putting our

:03:56. > :03:57.civilisation in danger. In Bastille Square in Paris, some left-wing

:03:58. > :04:02.protesters faced off against the police. These demonstrators were

:04:03. > :04:05.angered by the results of this vote. They and the rest of the country

:04:06. > :04:09.will have the final say in two weeks' time.

:04:10. > :04:15.Let's speak now to our Paris Correspondent, Hugh Schofield.

:04:16. > :04:23.Does Marine Le Pen have any chance of winning the next round?

:04:24. > :04:28.There is no doubt that Emmanuel Macron is the clear favourite for

:04:29. > :04:35.the second round in two weeks' time, but this is not going to be a rerun

:04:36. > :04:39.of 2002. That year, Marine Le Pen's Father John Marine Le Pen got a big

:04:40. > :04:44.shock breakthrough into the second round and round against Jacques

:04:45. > :04:48.Chirac, but he was wiped out in round two. He barely moved from his

:04:49. > :04:53.ratings in the first round. This time, Marine Le Pen will be able to

:04:54. > :04:56.build on her first-round score. We expect her to go a certain amount

:04:57. > :05:05.because she is going to turn the second round into a big debate not

:05:06. > :05:08.on the right divide, but on the nation versus Europe and nation

:05:09. > :05:13.versus globalisation divide. She will pick up votes from the

:05:14. > :05:18.centre-right candidate, but also from people who voted for the far

:05:19. > :05:24.left. We can expect her vote to go up, but it is unlikely it will go up

:05:25. > :05:26.enough to beat Emmanuel Macron. We will be back in Paris later in the

:05:27. > :05:28.programme. Jeremy Corbyn is promising to repeal

:05:29. > :05:30.what he calls "vicious" trade union legislation brought

:05:31. > :05:32.in by the Conservatives The Labour leader is

:05:33. > :05:35.making his first campaign visit to Scotland today,

:05:36. > :05:38.where his party is trying to claw back support after huge losses

:05:39. > :05:43.in the election two years ago. Our political correspondent

:05:44. > :06:02.Chris Mason is here. I said our political mason! Are you

:06:03. > :06:06.a mason?! Sorry, our political correspondent joins us. A tough day

:06:07. > :06:13.for Mr Corbyn yesterday? There are still six weeks to go, so assemble

:06:14. > :06:19.those words in the right order! Jeremy Corbyn had a tough time

:06:20. > :06:22.yesterday. The essence of it was the challenge has faced since he has

:06:23. > :06:25.been Labour leader and also why he won the Labour leadership in the

:06:26. > :06:29.first place, which is that he is very different in his political

:06:30. > :06:33.instinct and outlook and policies from lots of other Labour MPs. The

:06:34. > :06:36.tricky thing yesterday was that he was articulating something which was

:06:37. > :06:40.different from what we are now told us established party policy. He said

:06:41. > :06:44.the party were having a discussion as to whether they would back the

:06:45. > :06:48.renewal of the UK's nuclear deterrent. Jeremy Corbyn has been a

:06:49. > :06:53.long-standing campaigner to get rid of it. The party then put out a

:06:54. > :06:57.statement saying it would say in its manifesto, its bundle of promises,

:06:58. > :07:01.that it would commit to renewing Trident. The party has had to

:07:02. > :07:05.effectively get the gaffer tape out and stick it across the big gap

:07:06. > :07:10.between what Jeremy Corbyn is saying and what lots of MPs would like him

:07:11. > :07:15.to say. Today, he heads to Scotland to try and change the topic. The

:07:16. > :07:17.Scottish National Party, incidentally, will say the real

:07:18. > :07:24.threat to them is not Labour, but the Conservatives. Chris Mason, I

:07:25. > :07:30.shall say it very carefully from now on! Thank you very much.

:07:31. > :07:33.In the last hour, police say they've arrested a man in connection

:07:34. > :07:36.with the murder of a former naval officer who was killed after

:07:37. > :07:38.confronting intruders who broke into his home in Manchester.

:07:39. > :07:41.Michael Samwell died after thieves ran him over with his own car.

:07:42. > :07:45.How did a disturbance at a house in the early hours end

:07:46. > :07:50.Michael Samwell and his wife were woken up by a loud noise,

:07:51. > :07:53.and the former Royal Naval Officer went downstairs to have a look.

:07:54. > :07:58.The exact sequence of events that followed is not clear,

:07:59. > :08:00.but outside, now cordoned off, the 35-year-old was run over

:08:01. > :08:09.He was taken to hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

:08:10. > :08:12.The vehicle was found abandoned a few miles away.

:08:13. > :08:18.You hear a noise downstairs and you go and see what it is.

:08:19. > :08:21.It is incredibly tragic that he has lost his life.

:08:22. > :08:23.This is described as a quiet corner of Manchester.

:08:24. > :08:26.And gathered in silence, people came to pay their respects,

:08:27. > :08:48.I am a bit shaken up because obviously it is close to my house.

:08:49. > :08:51.One theory is they did break in simply to get

:08:52. > :08:58.If that is the case, it's led to a far more serious enquiry.

:08:59. > :09:00.Tougher punishments for the most serious cases of speeding have come

:09:01. > :09:03.into force in England and Wales today.

:09:04. > :09:06.Drivers can now be fined one and a half times their weekly

:09:07. > :09:10.that means driving over 50 miles an hour in a 30 zone or

:09:11. > :09:15.The Government will go to the High Court to try to delay

:09:16. > :09:19.publishing its strategy for tackling air pollution.

:09:20. > :09:21.Today was the deadline for ministers to present their plans,

:09:22. > :09:24.but they claim voting rules mean they can't publish

:09:25. > :09:27.sensitive policies before the general election.

:09:28. > :09:36.Campaigners say they're trying to dodge a difficult issue.

:09:37. > :09:37.Over 40,000 runners crossed the London Marathon

:09:38. > :09:43.And while a record number of competitors took part

:09:44. > :09:47.in the race, this is the moment everyone is talking about.

:09:48. > :09:48.Matthew Rees stopped his race to help David Wyeth

:09:49. > :09:55.The organisers have praised Mr Rees, saying he "encompassed

:09:56. > :09:59.everything that's so special about the London Marathon".

:10:00. > :10:04.Earlier, they told BBC Breakfast they had become friends overnight.

:10:05. > :10:10.We will definitely stay in touch. We have been through something

:10:11. > :10:16.incredible together, and a marathon I will never forget. And it does sum

:10:17. > :10:21.up the running community as well. We are pleased that you have seen this.

:10:22. > :10:25.It got caught on camera, but this stuff happens all over the place in

:10:26. > :10:31.races up and down the country. I am grateful to Matthew, and he

:10:32. > :10:37.demonstrated what it is like. I have heard references to a running rival.

:10:38. > :10:43.We are not rivals on that day. Where are all in it together.

:10:44. > :10:49.That explains why so many people take part in sport, because of the

:10:50. > :10:53.camaraderie. It is not just runners, it is so many different athletes of

:10:54. > :10:55.different sports. It is moments like that.

:10:56. > :10:58.Theresa May's so-called gamble in calling an early general election

:10:59. > :11:01.looks to some like a wager she can't lose.

:11:02. > :11:04.But to win an increased majority, she needs to avoid two things -

:11:05. > :11:09.and Labour resilience despite the opinion polls.

:11:10. > :11:11.Jeremy Corbyn has said he would review "all aspects"

:11:12. > :11:14.including Britain's Trident nuclear deterrent.

:11:15. > :11:25.is the Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon.

:11:26. > :11:30.With the situation Labour find themselves in over Trident, I know

:11:31. > :11:34.they have given you a free hit over the last 48 hours, but don't you

:11:35. > :11:40.yourselves as a party have questions the answer over seven years of

:11:41. > :11:43.defence cuts? For example, on the number of troops, there was a

:11:44. > :11:51.promising 2010 that it wouldn't go below 82,000, and it has. It is just

:11:52. > :11:56.below 82,000 at the moment. But it is either a promise or it is not. It

:11:57. > :12:00.was a promise in the manifesto, but the defence budget is rising again

:12:01. > :12:04.now. It has been rising for the last couple of years. It is programmed to

:12:05. > :12:11.rise each year of this Parliament. Or are adding strength to the Royal

:12:12. > :12:14.Navy, we are increasing the Royal Air Force and we are investing in

:12:15. > :12:16.the air planes to fly off the carriers, the frigates, the

:12:17. > :12:20.submarines and the new equipment that our Armed Forces need. So we

:12:21. > :12:24.are getting bigger defence. While the Conservatives are asking Labour

:12:25. > :12:29.for clarity on defence, can we ask you about clarity on the

:12:30. > :12:35.conservatives' tax policy? Is there going to be a party pledge about not

:12:36. > :12:38.putting up income tax, VAT and national insurance? It at the

:12:39. > :12:42.moment, your party are being a bit woolly on this. You will see the

:12:43. > :12:48.manifesto in a couple of weeks' time that will set out our policy in all

:12:49. > :12:54.these areas, defence, tax, the NHS and everything else. On tax, we are

:12:55. > :12:59.the lower tax party. It is Labour governments that put up tax. We have

:13:00. > :13:02.cut tax, particularly for people on the lowest earnings. We have taken 4

:13:03. > :13:07.million people out of tax altogether. This month, we have

:13:08. > :13:13.increased the personal tax allowance to ?11,500. All our instincts are to

:13:14. > :13:19.get tax as low as possible so that people on the lowest incomes can

:13:20. > :13:23.keep more of what they earn. But you can't take Labour that they are not

:13:24. > :13:30.being clear on Trident and then given unclear answer on your tax

:13:31. > :13:34.policy. Jeremy Corbyn made it clear yesterday that he doesn't support

:13:35. > :13:38.the nuclear deterrent. He is not even prepared to authorise RAF

:13:39. > :13:44.strikes against terrorists. He has queried our Nato deployments, and he

:13:45. > :13:49.is not prepared to tackle immigration. So Labour are putting

:13:50. > :13:52.themselves as a risk to the security of this country, in contrast to the

:13:53. > :13:57.strong and stable leadership that Theresa May and the Conservatives

:13:58. > :14:01.are offering. Forgive me, but the question was about your tax policy.

:14:02. > :14:06.You will see our tax policy in the manifesto, but you can also see what

:14:07. > :14:10.we have done in government. We have taken people out of tax altogether

:14:11. > :14:13.for the lowest paid. We have increased the personal tax allowance

:14:14. > :14:19.and we are the party of low taxation. Yesterday, you promised to

:14:20. > :14:21.cap energy prices for two thirds of British households. Isn't that a

:14:22. > :14:26.Labour policy that you have fiddled with and adopted as your own? No, we

:14:27. > :14:32.have always wanted to make sure that markets work better for working

:14:33. > :14:39.families faced with large bills. We have seen large, arbitrary increases

:14:40. > :14:44.from the big six energy companies. Again, when you see the manifesto,

:14:45. > :14:47.we will be putting out proposals that will protect people against

:14:48. > :14:53.sudden and large increases in their energy bills to make sure that

:14:54. > :14:58.markets work better for consumers. But when a similar policy by Labour

:14:59. > :15:02.was suggested, you were the energy minister in opposition and you said"

:15:03. > :15:07.the idea from Labour would freeze new investment and increase the risk

:15:08. > :15:11.of the lights going out". What has changed? Well, they were proposing a

:15:12. > :15:17.freeze. We are not proposing a freeze because that means people

:15:18. > :15:26.would not benefit when prices fall. That would have been dangerous and

:15:27. > :15:31.costly. Energy is already highly regulated, and we will be proposing

:15:32. > :15:35.that there should be the power to make sure people are protected

:15:36. > :15:38.against very large increases, and you will see those proposals in

:15:39. > :15:41.detail when the manifesto is published. They are very different

:15:42. > :15:47.from the damaging freeze that label wanted a few years ago.

:15:48. > :15:58.There is one important issue which people have been raising ever since

:15:59. > :16:03.Theresa May announced the general election of and that's apathy and

:16:04. > :16:06.people who maybe voting on 8th June don't want another general election.

:16:07. > :16:09.This is what they don't want. There has been so many polls and votes,

:16:10. > :16:13.they don't want to be involved in this again? Well, it is important

:16:14. > :16:17.that we have stability for the next five years and we have an effective

:16:18. > :16:22.majority to secure a successful exit from the European Union. That's what

:16:23. > :16:25.people voted for last year and one of the biggest turn-outs we have

:16:26. > :16:31.ever had and people want to make sure that we have a successful exit

:16:32. > :16:36.that preserves economic co-operation and trade with Europe, the security

:16:37. > :16:40.co-operation we already have with Europe and we do so in a way that

:16:41. > :16:43.protects vital British interests. You can't do that unless you have a

:16:44. > :16:49.strong working majority in Parliament and that is what we are

:16:50. > :16:52.now campaigning for over the next six weeks you will see the Prime

:16:53. > :16:57.Minister and the rest of us out around the country urging people to

:16:58. > :16:59.get behind this Government and give Theresa May's leadership the

:17:00. > :17:06.majority in Parliament that she needs to be able to look after this

:17:07. > :17:13.country's long-term interests. Sir Michael Fallon, thank you.

:17:14. > :17:16.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:17:17. > :17:18.French voters have chosen two outsiders -

:17:19. > :17:21.Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen - to contest the final

:17:22. > :17:24.A man has been arrested in connection with the death

:17:25. > :17:27.of a former Royal Navy officer who was killed after

:17:28. > :17:34.confronting burglars who were trying to steal his car.

:17:35. > :17:38.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:17:39. > :17:46.This is one of our Weather Watchers photos. It is from Shetland. The

:17:47. > :17:50.last time we had snow late on in April was last year and that was

:17:51. > :17:55.across Northern England. We have it falling this morning. A beautiful

:17:56. > :17:58.picture from Shetland. Look at how ominous the cloud looks. Further

:17:59. > :18:04.snow showers to come in the next couple of days. By no means will we

:18:05. > :18:07.all see snow. A few of us that will do and we're looking at frosty

:18:08. > :18:10.nights as well. We have got weather fronts moving south. Behind this

:18:11. > :18:15.cold front we are pulling in the cold air on a nearly wind, straight

:18:16. > :18:25.down from the Arctic and it will be later on that it moves right the

:18:26. > :18:30.away way across our shores. The cloud building. But brightening up

:18:31. > :18:33.behind them, but still there will be some wintriness into the afternoon

:18:34. > :18:40.and a few more of us seeing it this afternoon. So for Northern Ireland

:18:41. > :18:43.you have got sunshine and showers. Any wintriness on the hills. Snow

:18:44. > :18:47.falling at low levels across Northern Scotland. A lot of dry

:18:48. > :18:51.weather. A cold day. A windy day. Down the East Coast of Scotland and

:18:52. > :18:54.the far north-east of England you can expect to see some wintriness

:18:55. > :18:59.coming out of the showers. Some sleet and hail and thunder and

:19:00. > :19:03.lightening, but the rest of Northern England sunshine. The Midlands and

:19:04. > :19:08.East Anglia, this is where we have got our weather front. Cloudy with

:19:09. > :19:12.rain. But it is fairly sporadic and it is the same for south-west

:19:13. > :19:16.England. The cloud will continue to build and we are looking at a cloudy

:19:17. > :19:22.afternoon with patchy rain across Wales. Through this evening, as that

:19:23. > :19:26.weather front pushes away from the South Coast and moves across into

:19:27. > :19:34.the Channel Islands the cold air streams in behind it. We continue

:19:35. > :19:36.with the snow across low levels, but we will see wintriness across

:19:37. > :19:41.Northern Ireland and North Wales, but again, they are showers so not

:19:42. > :19:44.all of us will catch one. A lot of dry weather and clear skies, so it

:19:45. > :19:49.will be frosty and it will be icy of the so something to watch out for

:19:50. > :19:54.first thing. But there will be a lot of sunshine tomorrow, but tomorrow,

:19:55. > :19:58.a plethora of showers and once again almost anywhere you could see little

:19:59. > :20:03.bit of wintriness in them. Still cold in the northerly wind. So

:20:04. > :20:07.although we have seen temperatures between seven and 11 Celsius, if

:20:08. > :20:11.you're exposed to the wined, it will feel colder than the temperatures

:20:12. > :20:16.suggest. As we head on into Wednesday, there will be areas of

:20:17. > :20:20.showery rain dotted around. Nothing substantial so if your garden is

:20:21. > :20:24.crying out for t we will see dribs and drabs, but not really heavy and

:20:25. > :20:29.temperatures seven to ten Celsius, but again we are hanging on to the

:20:30. > :20:33.northerly breeze. As we move on into Thursday, still a bit draftee. We

:20:34. > :20:36.have some rain sinking south, but we start to see the temperatures

:20:37. > :20:40.recover and the temperatures will continue to recover as we head into

:20:41. > :20:45.the weekend and the early part of next week, Dan and Lou.

:20:46. > :20:48.I have never seen the map look that, the plethora of rain, all the little

:20:49. > :20:51.dots everywhere. Thank you very much. See you soon. It is the little

:20:52. > :20:56.things sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. At its peak the make-shift camp

:20:57. > :20:59.known as the Jungle in Calais was home to 7,000 migrants,

:21:00. > :21:01.most were looking for Six months ago it was shut down

:21:02. > :21:05.and authorities say there are only around 100 migrants

:21:06. > :21:08.still in the French port. But a new report seen exclusively

:21:09. > :21:11.by BBC Breakfast puts the figure at four times that

:21:12. > :21:13.with migrants including unaccompanied children sleeping

:21:14. > :21:16.rough in Calais and Paris. Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been

:21:17. > :21:19.to Northern France to see the impact Six months after the Jungle closed,

:21:27. > :21:36.for migrants is running normally. Wtih lorries before we had

:21:37. > :21:50.8,000 migrants per month that we would discover,

:21:51. > :21:52.today that is down to 300. The Jungle was home

:21:53. > :21:59.to some 10,000 migrants. It came to be seen by the

:22:00. > :22:02.authorities as a magnet for people I've had bottles, rocks,

:22:03. > :22:14.bricks thrown at the truck. When he crosses the border

:22:15. > :22:17.into France, Jacob won't stop. Although it's safer getting

:22:45. > :23:04.asylum here in France? The report out today

:23:05. > :23:14.from the refugee Rights Data Project says there are about 400 migrants

:23:15. > :23:16.in Calais today, many Public opinion has hardened

:23:17. > :23:19.for all forms of migration, but Michael McHugh from

:23:20. > :23:28.the Refugee Youth Service says

:23:29. > :23:30.genuine asylum claims must be heard. It is not about what people

:23:31. > :23:33.want or do not want. We have tens of thousands

:23:34. > :23:35.of children moving across Europe. There is a legal right for many

:23:36. > :23:39.of these children to go to the UK. 30 minutes from Calais,

:23:55. > :24:00.that the problem does not exist and their strategy is to destroy

:33:43. > :33:46.will be between the optimist is represented by Emmanuel Macron and

:33:47. > :33:50.the pessimists represented by Marine Le Pen. In that respect the French

:33:51. > :33:56.are still being true to form. What is going on in the French psyche to

:33:57. > :34:00.opt for these candidates at a time like this? There is immense

:34:01. > :34:04.frustration with the economy and with the political elite. What

:34:05. > :34:10.Emmanuel Macron has been able to do very artfully is to exploit this

:34:11. > :34:14.economic and political situation to his advantage. When he created his

:34:15. > :34:20.movement a year ago, everyone thought it would be just a bubble.

:34:21. > :34:26.Yet here we are, just one year later and he is at the threshold of the

:34:27. > :34:30.French presidency. Do you think someone like Emmanuel Macron William

:34:31. > :34:35.Knight France, if he wins? He is trying to bring together all the

:34:36. > :34:39.things people agree on rather than divide people. In that sense he has

:34:40. > :34:45.a hopeful project ahead of him. Whether he will be able to do so by

:37:26. > :37:33.shown the right response, that we are capable to be together.

:37:34. > :37:36.City's exit from the FA Cup means there'll be no trophy

:37:37. > :37:39.for Pep Guardiola this year, and Manchester United are breathing

:37:40. > :37:41.down their rivals' necks in the Premier League.

:37:42. > :37:44.A 2-0 win at Burnley means Jose Mourinho's side are now just

:37:45. > :37:47.a point behind City and the fourth Champions League spot,

:37:48. > :37:53.which gives Thursday's Manchester derby an extra bit of spice.

:37:54. > :37:55.United have something of an injury crisis,

:37:56. > :37:58.which meant Wayne Rooney made just his second Premier League start

:39:45. > :39:46.Now, we've heard about the sportsmanship of

:39:47. > :39:48.Swansea Harriers runner Matthew Rees at the London Marathon, as

:39:49. > :39:58.he helped fellow competitor David Wyeth over the line.

:39:59. > :40:02.But he wasn't the only member of the Swansea

:40:03. > :40:05.Josh Griffiths was running his first marathon.

:40:06. > :40:07.Not only did he finish, he was the first Briton

:40:08. > :40:11.across the line with a time of 2 hours, 14 minutes and 49 seconds,

:40:12. > :40:14.He completed the course in a qualifying time

:40:15. > :40:17.for the World Championships so quite a day for the club

:40:18. > :40:39.They must breed them fast and strong in south Wales. An amazing

:40:40. > :40:43.performance. First marathon, first major marathon. Probably running

:40:44. > :40:47.them round the mountains of South Wales on a daily basis.

:40:48. > :40:50.Speaking about that amazing moment from the marathon, earlier,

:40:51. > :40:55.we spoke to Matthew Rees and David Wyeth about those last

:40:56. > :41:06.torturous 135 metres to the finish line.

:41:07. > :41:09.I took the final corner, ready to sprint the few hundred

:41:10. > :41:12.metres but I saw David and his legs had completely

:41:13. > :41:18.In my mind, I was like, "That's the one, I need to help this guy,

:41:19. > :41:23.He'd come 26 miles and the finish was just there, so, for me,

:41:24. > :41:25.it was important to get into the end and cross together.

:41:26. > :41:28.And what was going through my head was, "Don't you stop,

:41:29. > :41:34.In fact, when the volunteer came over, you know,

:41:35. > :41:39.I was still really keen that Matthew just dropped me and got a good time.

:41:40. > :41:41.Obviously, we had never met so I did not know his

:41:42. > :41:47.You know, as you mentioned earlier, you know, he could well

:41:48. > :41:50.have been on for a PB, so I didn't know that

:41:51. > :41:53.and I was frustrated that he was giving up his race.

:41:54. > :41:57.Definitely stay in touch, you know, we have been through something

:41:58. > :42:01.incredible together, amazing and a marathon

:42:02. > :42:04.So yeah, we'll keep in touch definitely.

:42:05. > :42:06.Absolutely, but it does sum up the running community as well.

:42:07. > :42:10.You know, we are really pleased that you have seen this.

:42:11. > :42:13.It got caught on the cameras but this stuff happens all over

:42:14. > :42:15.the place in races up and down the country.

:42:16. > :42:17.You know, I'm really grateful to Matthew but also

:42:18. > :42:23.I've heard references to a running rival.

:42:24. > :42:25.We are not rivals on that day, you know?

:42:26. > :42:34.We are all fighting for the line together.

:42:35. > :42:41.So many people take part in sport in this country, just because of the

:42:42. > :42:47.camaraderie. Thank you for your comments this morning, you watch

:42:48. > :42:49.them live yesterday and then saw them on Breakfast today.

:42:50. > :42:58.If you haven't seen last night's episode of Line

:42:59. > :43:09.The police corruption drama has had us on the edge of our seats

:43:10. > :43:11.for the past five weeks, and as we inch towards the series

:43:12. > :43:15.final on Sunday, we are still no closer to knowing if AC-12 will be

:43:16. > :43:24.To perhaps shed some light on what more we can expect we'll be

:43:25. > :43:26.speaking to Adrian Dunbar, who plays Superintendent Ted

:43:27. > :43:29.But first, let's take a look at his character in action,

:43:30. > :43:42.Sir, there's an institutional failure to admit error, here, sir.

:43:43. > :43:46.Actually, it is a wilful effort to bury allegations

:43:47. > :43:48.of wrongdoing and to cap it all, the only department that's trying

:43:49. > :43:58.to get to the truth, mine, is the one that's being reduced.

:43:59. > :44:01.to get to the truth, mine, is the one that's being recused.

:44:02. > :44:05.To provide sufficient evidence against Roz Huntley.

:44:06. > :44:07.Plus, she's levelled credible accusations against your undercover

:44:08. > :44:09.officer of entrapment, of coaching witnesses, possibly even

:44:10. > :44:12.My officers conduct themselves to the letter of the law,

:44:13. > :44:15.Oh, so you didn't have a deeply corrupt officer embedded

:44:16. > :44:19.No one regrets more than me, sir, not seeing through

:44:20. > :44:24.Cottan's dying declaration - I want the full recording

:44:25. > :44:44.You are causing havoc on Monday. We are divided into those who have seen

:44:45. > :44:49.it and those who have seen it cannot talk to the people who have not.

:44:50. > :44:58.People walk up and say, don't tell me. I haven't seen it. It is with

:44:59. > :45:02.some trepidation I go into this interview, are we qualified to

:45:03. > :45:07.interview? I think you are coming have done enough over the years to

:45:08. > :45:14.be qualified. Just don't put me under too much pressure.

:45:15. > :45:20.You are aware of the impact it's having on Sony people, and today we

:45:21. > :45:23.have a pregnant lady called Anna who says she has texting specifically to

:45:24. > :45:29.see you having watched last night. Hello! My wife is called Anna as

:45:30. > :45:34.well. When you get the script, do you think what is happening now, as

:45:35. > :45:38.actors? Absolutely, we get the first couple of episodes. You are reading

:45:39. > :45:42.the first couple of episodes and you are kind of shocked by what is going

:45:43. > :45:47.on. Then you get drip fed the next episode and you think, "Oh, my God!"

:45:48. > :45:50.We can't pre-empt, when we are shooting it in blocks, we don't

:45:51. > :45:55.necessarily know what is going to happen further down the line. It

:45:56. > :46:04.comes as just a big a shock to us with the scripts are fed to us and

:46:05. > :46:07.of course when Jed Mercurio writes comedies going towards the final

:46:08. > :46:12.episode and he does not lock it in stone until he sees what else is

:46:13. > :46:17.going on before it. So things can change. He has the ability to change

:46:18. > :46:21.things as he sees fit. Tell us about Ted Hastings as a character to play.

:46:22. > :46:25.Fantastic, it's been a great character for me to play because I

:46:26. > :46:30.can bring my stuff to it, as it were. It's great to find, to be able

:46:31. > :46:35.to be a character, as such. People seem to have warmed to him because

:46:36. > :46:38.he's very old school, not very PC but at the same time, it is nice to

:46:39. > :46:42.feel there is somebody out there who is trying to chase down the bad guys

:46:43. > :46:50.and has a kind of moral core and those things. May be the non-PC that

:46:51. > :46:56.catches it out. It could be that or any number of things. Of course, we

:46:57. > :47:03.don't necessarily know. People play Hastings bingo when they watch Line

:47:04. > :47:07.Of Duty. "For The purposes of the tape", Bent coppers, letter of the

:47:08. > :47:12.law, one the tie, darling, that wee girl and of course, fella. Fella is

:47:13. > :47:16.going big, hold on there, fella, seems to be all over the place. I

:47:17. > :47:19.knocked on social media but Vicky McClure and Martin Compston keep on

:47:20. > :47:27.sending me stuff to bring up to speed which is quite fun. Do you

:47:28. > :47:31.watch it at I do. I'm filming, directing TV in Liverpool at the

:47:32. > :47:35.minute for Jimmy McGovern, so I wasn't at home last night but

:47:36. > :47:41.usually, I watch at home. The amazing thing is, not speaking from

:47:42. > :47:47.a position of expertise, here, but what you manage to do, producers,

:47:48. > :47:50.directors and actors is essentially, there's incredible scenes where you

:47:51. > :47:54.have three or four people sat around a desk and the scene can sometimes

:47:55. > :48:00.last 15 minutes and yet, it remains incredibly compelling TV. Yes, it's

:48:01. > :48:07.very intense. Sometimes we have seen is that run to 26, we had a 32 page

:48:08. > :48:11.seen at one point, each take to the best part of half an hour to shoot.

:48:12. > :48:15.So they get intense because of that as well because of the longevity of

:48:16. > :48:20.the scene as it goes on but also because it is structured, the

:48:21. > :48:22.Byzantine nature of police, you are dealing with people who are very

:48:23. > :48:27.smart and who understand the techniques that are used within

:48:28. > :48:31.interrogation and so forth and interview. That is what makes it

:48:32. > :48:35.very tense and it is very incremental. You can't jump ahead.

:48:36. > :48:42.You have to very quietly go through stuff. I think people have really

:48:43. > :48:45.got into that. I think the procedural element is very exciting,

:48:46. > :48:50.on the one hand. And on the other hand, we have these incredible

:48:51. > :48:56.twists and turns that happen, that keeps you on your toes as well. And

:48:57. > :49:01.also, it is a show where, you know, the Leeds we don't have guessed

:49:02. > :49:03.Leeds, we have Leeds. We have Thandie Newton at the minute,

:49:04. > :49:08.putting in an incredible performance. And also, I think

:49:09. > :49:12.Martin's character, you really got an insight into his character this

:49:13. > :49:15.time through the series. There are all kinds of element is happening

:49:16. > :49:19.within the series, I think, that is really grabbing everybody's

:49:20. > :49:24.attention, there's lots to talk about as well as the storyline. We

:49:25. > :49:29.don't want to give too much away. Recon. Because I specifically

:49:30. > :49:35.haven't watched it yet! But can you give us a general sense? There is so

:49:36. > :49:39.much to work out. Will there be... Have you seen the last one or not?

:49:40. > :49:43.There's a lot to work out. And of course, not all of it will be worked

:49:44. > :49:46.out because there will be another series, of course. Do you know if

:49:47. > :49:50.you're going to be in the neck series? I'm keeping my fingers

:49:51. > :49:58.crossed. None of us really know if we will make the cut. I think Jed

:49:59. > :50:02.I think we will all be there, exactly. But not everything will be

:50:03. > :50:08.resolved but most of it will. There is this background noise all the

:50:09. > :50:12.time with him, line of duty, that there is some larger conspiracy

:50:13. > :50:16.happening is that we haven't quite got to the bottom of yet. This does

:50:17. > :50:21.not give anything away but we have an exclusive clip from the final

:50:22. > :50:24.episode. What? It's not very long and it won't ruin anything. But we

:50:25. > :50:27.can't have you here without showing a bit.

:50:28. > :50:29.Let's take a look from an exclusive clip from showing

:50:30. > :50:42.Kate? Starting the first round of interviews, no news yet. She's done

:50:43. > :50:47.it again. We had that case in the bomb that had! Schuster and every

:50:48. > :50:52.off the scent. Who's on it? Murder squad, 89 observing. God give me

:50:53. > :51:03.strength, the whole thing is kicking off, we are not even in the game!

:51:04. > :51:09.Kate? Who is it from murder squad? My goodness, bit of Hastings bingo

:51:10. > :51:14.as well. Give me strength! It gets my heart racing. I haven't seen the

:51:15. > :51:18.episode myself yet. And of course, I haven't been around for a lot of the

:51:19. > :51:22.stuff that has been filmed so I find it fascinating actually looking at

:51:23. > :51:27.the series myself because I'm now seeing, you know, what a brilliant

:51:28. > :51:30.performance everyone else is putting in elsewhere in the scenes. I know

:51:31. > :51:38.you can't say who it is, you say you don't know so do you know who

:51:39. > :51:44.balaclava man is? Do I know? Yes. You're going to have to wait and

:51:45. > :51:49.see! Come on! I put it to you, Mr Dunbar, that you know... Now,

:51:50. > :51:53.exactly, no, we don't know any of that yet. Most things will be

:51:54. > :51:57.resolved but not everything because, you know, it's an ongoing series.

:51:58. > :52:03.You know, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will be on much longer.

:52:04. > :52:11.It's an exciting time for TV in some ways, isn't it? It is, this is the

:52:12. > :52:15.particular format that Jed has come up with and it is exciting. We are

:52:16. > :52:25.moving into a more complicated style television making, if you like,

:52:26. > :52:27.rather than just one episode, one case, one result, something that

:52:28. > :52:29.goes on for a number series. Thank you for joining us.

:52:30. > :52:31.The final episode from this series of Line of Duty

:52:32. > :52:40.Carol Kirkwood is one of your biggest fans and she has only just

:52:41. > :52:46.taken her hands over her eyes. Good morning, best bread on TV, Line

:52:47. > :52:50.Of Duty. Thank you very much! Good morning, everyone. It is a chilly

:52:51. > :52:53.start with some snow around as well, as you can see from one of the

:52:54. > :52:57.Weather Watchers pictures taken this morning in Shetland. We have another

:52:58. > :53:02.one from the Highlands. Look how ominous the cloud is looking. We

:53:03. > :53:06.have seen some snow this morning, and on the radar chart, you can see

:53:07. > :53:10.where it has been falling, primarily across northern Scotland. Elsewhere,

:53:11. > :53:15.any precipitation coming out of the skies has been rain. For the next

:53:16. > :53:17.few days, not immune to wintry showers but because they are

:53:18. > :53:22.showers, not all of us will catch one but watch out for frost. What is

:53:23. > :53:26.happening is happening is a cold front is sinking south and behind

:53:27. > :53:30.it, all this cold air is streaming southwards, courtesy of a northerly

:53:31. > :53:35.flow. The air is coming straight down from the Arctic. Across

:53:36. > :53:39.northern Scotland, we continue with snow even at lower levels through

:53:40. > :53:43.the day. The wind will strengthen, as I mentioned, coming from the

:53:44. > :53:47.north and it will really accentuate the cold feel. Brightening up across

:53:48. > :53:50.northern England and all the rest of the patchy rain sinking southwards,

:53:51. > :53:54.eradicating the sunny start. Sunshine across a lot of northern

:53:55. > :53:57.England this afternoon but across the far north-east and eastern

:53:58. > :54:02.Scotland once again, some wintry showers. A mixture of rain, sleet,

:54:03. > :54:05.hail and thunder and lightning but snowed still to lower levels in the

:54:06. > :54:09.north and also windy. Northern Ireland with sunshine and showers.

:54:10. > :54:13.On the hills, a bit of wintering is perhaps. For Wales, as the weather

:54:14. > :54:17.front south, it will brighten up from the North, so bright in

:54:18. > :54:20.Cheshire, the Wirral and North Wales but for the rest of Wales in

:54:21. > :54:25.south-west England, a bit more cloud and some patchy rain. Patchy rain

:54:26. > :54:28.across southern counties, through the Midlands, extending towards Kent

:54:29. > :54:33.and East Anglia. But in the south, we are still in mild air this

:54:34. > :54:36.afternoon. Through the evening, as the weather front clears down here,

:54:37. > :54:40.taking rain into the Channel Islands, the cold air will filter

:54:41. > :54:43.across everyone. A cold night to come, with some wintry gas in

:54:44. > :54:48.Scotland still, down to low levels and also looking at some wintry

:54:49. > :54:52.showers across eastern England, and Northern Ireland, and also, parts of

:54:53. > :54:57.Wales. There will be a widespread frost and the risk of ice on

:54:58. > :55:00.untreated surfaces. Tomorrow dawns on a lovely note for some with a lot

:55:01. > :55:04.of sunshine and a cold start. There will be a lot of showers. Some of

:55:05. > :55:09.those, almost anywhere, could have a wintry element but because they are

:55:10. > :55:12.showers, it also means not all of us will see one. Some still getting

:55:13. > :55:17.down to lower levels across parts of northern Scotland and once again,

:55:18. > :55:22.towns and cities, 7-11 but in the wind, it will feel a lot colder than

:55:23. > :55:27.that. On Wednesday, further showers, some of those once again could be

:55:28. > :55:30.wintry in nature. Temperatures between 7-11 or 12. As we head

:55:31. > :55:34.towards the latter part of the week and into the weekend, gradually, we

:55:35. > :55:38.will start to see temperatures climbing once again. But certainly

:55:39. > :55:46.for the next few days, you will need your winter coat once again.

:55:47. > :55:55.It's OK, we can turn back the TV on, no more spoilers.

:55:56. > :55:59.Lots of police officers have got in contact saying that Adrian Dunbar is

:56:00. > :56:07.the most authentic superintendent on TV. So good. Some great guests on

:56:08. > :56:11.the sofa this morning. Can you believe the Scottish band Texas have

:56:12. > :56:15.been around for 30 years? The latest sound represents -- album represents

:56:16. > :56:18.a fresh sound for the group. Sharleen Spiteri will be with us in

:56:19. > :56:20.a few moments but first, let's have a look at a song from their new

:56:21. > :56:22.album. # Don't you tell her, tell that girl

:56:23. > :56:30.# You said forever, ever, oh, # How's she supposed to know that

:56:31. > :56:35.you're meant to be together # If you don't tell

:56:36. > :56:59.her, tell that girl Sharleen Spiteri,

:57:00. > :57:17.welcome to BBC Breakfast. I asked you how you are but you are

:57:18. > :57:21.living? I look about 70 at the moment. You normally leap about? I

:57:22. > :57:27.do but I took of my moon boot to come on this morning. I had a bit of

:57:28. > :57:33.an accident, a bit of a middle-aged accident, trying to act like I was

:57:34. > :57:36.12. Bouncy castle. You are not the first. Know, and I definitely won't

:57:37. > :57:41.be the last but what an idiot! You know when you feel like an absolute

:57:42. > :57:46.idiot? I did it under the BBC's watch as well which was really funny

:57:47. > :57:49.and they said, " we are not liable", and I thought nothing was going to

:57:50. > :57:54.happen but the torn ligament and I've only got myself to blame.

:57:55. > :57:57.You're a disgrace! That is what happens when you're in a band. We

:57:58. > :58:02.were talking only about when you feel like a grown-up and you're a

:58:03. > :58:06.similar age to me... I never feel like a grown-up. Who wants to be a

:58:07. > :58:10.grown-up? Texas have been around for quite some time, as we were saying,

:58:11. > :58:14.does this feel like a fresh start for a new chapter? Just the next

:58:15. > :58:20.chapter of the story. This is what we do, make records, go out on tour.

:58:21. > :58:25.It has been amazing, after the reception we had a few years ago

:58:26. > :58:30.when we did the conversation, and the 25th anniversary, it was like

:58:31. > :58:33.the tours were sold out, it was amazing, and we thought, "Right,

:58:34. > :58:39.let's do the next record", and this is it. Tell us about the record. It

:58:40. > :58:42.is a very positive, up record, we wanted to make one that gave you an

:58:43. > :58:47.escape from real life. That is what we were really trying to do, that

:58:48. > :58:58.moment of, "It's not nice out there at the moment, shut it off, hands in

:58:59. > :59:01.the air, dance in the kitchen". A bit of escapism. That was what we

:59:02. > :59:04.wanted in our lives so we very much try to make it on the record. Let's

:59:05. > :59:07.show you a clip from the video, because we showed you at earlier

:59:08. > :59:11.with Thierry Henry in it can and I want you to expire in how you got

:59:12. > :59:18.Thierry Henry in the video. -- to explain.

:59:19. > :59:28.# We've got to work it out. # Life is too short, let's work it

:59:29. > :59:34.out. # We've got to work it out.

:59:35. > :59:42.# Life's too short we've got to work it out.

:59:43. > :59:51.# I know this is the last time. # Because you will never be mine.

:59:52. > :00:12.# Go away, go away. # Its dramatic. Does he say anything

:00:13. > :00:16.in the video? No, we were laughing away, and we kept getting told to be

:00:17. > :00:23.quiet. So that is his serious face on. You have known each other for

:00:24. > :00:32.how long? Since he came to Arsenal so about 18 years. He met at a game,

:00:33. > :00:37.but you were neighbours? He lived in the road behind me. Patrick Viera

:00:38. > :00:44.had invited me to a game and I am an Arsenal fan. I had a season ticket

:00:45. > :00:48.but I had been invited to the player's Lounge. Then I met Thierry

:00:49. > :00:54.Henry Henry and we realised we lived one street away from each other. And

:00:55. > :01:00.I said, if you need somebody to show you around London, whatever. What

:01:01. > :01:08.can I say, I am Scottish and hospitable and we have been friends

:01:09. > :01:13.ever since. We were sitting in his kitchen and we were having lunch

:01:14. > :01:18.talking absolute rubbish. And he said to me, have you finished the

:01:19. > :01:24.record yet? And I said yes, I have got some of it, do you want to have

:01:25. > :01:35.a listen? He said, I like that. He had a bit of a dance. And I said if

:01:36. > :01:40.I ever get Hugh in a video, you are definitely not dancing because you

:01:41. > :01:47.will outshine me. He was asking me to be in the video. I didn't want to

:01:48. > :01:56.put him under pressure. So I called up and said, you can say no. And

:01:57. > :02:05.then he said, I would love to do it. We had a great time. He is a

:02:06. > :02:11.wonderful, great person. Very nice. It is an exhilarating album,

:02:12. > :02:17.uplifting, escapism? It has been well received and everybody has been

:02:18. > :02:23.positive. We go out on tour and restart end of August. By that time

:02:24. > :02:26.you will be jumping about the stage. No bouncy castles.

:02:27. > :02:31.Texas' new album is called 'Jump on Board'.

:02:32. > :02:39.We're only four months into Hull's term as the UK City of Culture -

:02:40. > :02:41.but already towns and cities are bidding for their chance

:02:42. > :02:45.One potential contender is Britain's smallest city,

:02:46. > :02:47.St David's in Pembrokeshire - which has a population

:02:48. > :03:06.Beautiful it is. Behind the imposing Gately is the city of St Davids. A

:03:07. > :03:11.large village, it has 1800 people. And then down there is Saint David's

:03:12. > :03:18.Cathedral. This is going to be the focus, they hope of the city of

:03:19. > :03:24.culture in 2021, 11 places bidding. I have been to another place in line

:03:25. > :03:25.for this accolade, and that is Warrington between Liverpool and

:03:26. > :03:31.Manchester. George Formby, famous

:03:32. > :03:33.for his ukelele playing and his saucy songs,

:03:34. > :03:38.was born here in 1904. Britain's first IKEA

:03:39. > :03:40.opened here in 1987. In 1968, the place was made

:03:41. > :03:43.a new town and the town hall has Has it always been at the forefront

:03:44. > :03:54.of what we've been doing, culture? As we transition from a new town

:03:55. > :04:00.to a new city, that city has to have a compelling cultural offer,

:04:01. > :04:03.because we know what cities that They are abandoned of

:04:04. > :04:10.an evening in the centre. They aren't the magnets of talent

:04:11. > :04:13.and for young people Warrington's economically successful

:04:14. > :04:17.and unemployment's low but you wouldn't know it,

:04:18. > :04:27.looking at the town centre. This is what they call

:04:28. > :04:28.Warrington's cultural quarter. They say it's the oldest

:04:29. > :04:35.public library in England. The truth is, people

:04:36. > :04:42.in Warrington who want theatre or major art galleries go

:04:43. > :04:45.to Liverpool or Manchester. The concert venue's

:04:46. > :04:48.called Parr Hall. Outside, I met a musician

:04:49. > :04:51.and promoter who says Warrington's live music scene has enjoyed

:04:52. > :04:54.a modest revival lately but could do much better if the town

:04:55. > :04:58.were City of Culture. Any kind of artists, really,

:04:59. > :05:01.who are from Warrington, you don't You have to go into

:05:02. > :05:08.Manchester or Liverpool. So there might not be

:05:09. > :05:12.loads and loads of stuff going on in Warrington but that

:05:13. > :05:14.doesn't mean that people from Warrington don't

:05:15. > :05:19.have the talents and skills. # Then she said that together

:05:20. > :05:22.we could take on the world #. Last year, the band Viola Beach

:05:53. > :05:57.queueing up for the city of culture. They have until the end of this week

:05:58. > :06:04.to get their formal applications in. What about St Davids, I am joined by

:06:05. > :06:10.two local artists. They say this is the art capital of Wales? Apparently

:06:11. > :06:15.so, I came here about 30 years ago and I am amazed at how many little

:06:16. > :06:20.galleries are around and how many people are interested in

:06:21. > :06:27.contemporary arts. It has retained its historical identity, St Davids

:06:28. > :06:34.is open to embracing contemporary art and art from around the world.

:06:35. > :06:45.You are painting all 1800 residents of the place. This is your little

:06:46. > :06:52.portrait of? Dorrien Davies. This project will entail doing 1800. Very

:06:53. > :06:57.quickly, what has St Davids got apart from the fact it is very

:06:58. > :07:02.timely and not really a plausible candidate for the city of Culture?

:07:03. > :07:07.What has and it got? You have the wonderful pill in Schiller, this

:07:08. > :07:13.beautiful cathedral, the centre of spirituality and huge talent, like

:07:14. > :07:18.Graham. So many people come here to out the year. To have this place as

:07:19. > :07:23.city of culture would add to the mix. Thank you both very much, I am

:07:24. > :07:26.sorry we have so little time but St Davids get its application in by the

:07:27. > :07:31.end of the week and we will know by the end of the year, the end of

:07:32. > :07:36.Hull's yet of City of Culture, who will beat city of culture in 2021.

:07:37. > :07:39.It is a cracking looking Cathedral. In a moment, we'll be speaking

:07:40. > :07:42.to Jules Mountain about battling cancer and surviving

:07:43. > :07:43.an avalanche on Everest. But first a last,brief

:07:44. > :07:46.look at the headlines Now though it's back

:07:47. > :09:24.to Dan and Louise. Jules Mountain survived a seven-hour

:09:25. > :09:32.operation to remove a cancerous tumour in his head and four

:09:33. > :09:36.months of chemotherapy. Spurred on by his recovery

:09:37. > :09:38.he joined expedition to climb Mount Everest,

:09:39. > :09:41.only to become caught up in the avalanche caused by the 2015

:09:42. > :09:48.earthquake in Nepal. Undeterred he returned and reached

:09:49. > :09:50.the summit the following year. Now he's written a book

:09:51. > :10:02.about his experience. So much to talk to you about. I have

:10:03. > :10:07.read a lot of the book and a lot of it deals with the aftermath after

:10:08. > :10:11.that horrendous earthquake and the devastation it caused. You were on

:10:12. > :10:16.the mountain at the time and you had got back into your tent? I was at

:10:17. > :10:22.base camp, had Breakfast and gone back to my tent. I was lying in the

:10:23. > :10:27.tent and all of a sudden the ground move to the left. We were on a

:10:28. > :10:31.glacier, several tonnes of ice and I thought, that cannot move. It felt

:10:32. > :10:37.like someone was lifting me up by my back. It shunted me to the right. I

:10:38. > :10:42.jumped out the tent and I looked up, and the two Polish climbers in from

:10:43. > :10:46.the meat were looking up at the sky. The sky was filled full of snow

:10:47. > :10:52.coming towards us. I have seen avalanches before but everything was

:10:53. > :10:58.full of snow. You must have thought, that is it, at that moment? I did, I

:10:59. > :11:03.thought I was going to die. My first reaction was, can I run. The ground

:11:04. > :11:08.behind me was covered in ice and rocks and I only had my socks on.

:11:09. > :11:13.And I thought, that is not going to happen so I dived back into my tent

:11:14. > :11:17.and buried my head into my sleeping bag. Then the whole thing hit and

:11:18. > :11:22.the tent was rocking backwards and forwards and I thought, it will blow

:11:23. > :11:28.the tent away and I will die. You had an extraordinary escape, but

:11:29. > :11:32.many didn't and then you had to deal with the aftermath which was

:11:33. > :11:37.extremely traumatic? It was chaos, chaos like you could never imagine.

:11:38. > :11:42.If somebody walked into your house with a broken arm, you call 999 and

:11:43. > :11:46.you have 15 to 20 minutes and somebody else comes to take them

:11:47. > :11:50.away. The only thing we had was helicopters coming into base camp,

:11:51. > :11:57.bringing in supplies and they would take people away. You had a night on

:11:58. > :12:01.the mountain? We had no help, no one was coming after the earthquake. We

:12:02. > :12:06.had all these badly injured people, 22 people who had died and over 100

:12:07. > :12:12.injured. There was nobody to help them. Having been to cancer, which

:12:13. > :12:16.you detailed beautifully in the book, if I can put it that way,

:12:17. > :12:24.having been to that, what did your family think, here we go again? My
