This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:00.:00:14.

A political earthquake in France as two outsiders are chosen

:00:15.:00:17.

for the final stage of the presidential election.

:00:18.:00:19.

The National Front's Marine Le Pen and the centrist, Emanuel Macron,

:00:20.:00:22.

will go head to head in two weeks' time.

:00:23.:00:36.

A man hunt is launched after the death of a ex-Royal Navy

:00:37.:00:47.

officer killed trying to stop burglars steal his

:00:48.:00:49.

The police describe it as beyond criminal.

:00:50.:00:54.

This could have happened to absolutely anybody. You hear a noise

:00:55.:01:02.

downstairs and go and see what it is. It is incredibly tragic.

:01:03.:01:04.

Six months on from the closure of the Calais Jungle refugee camp,

:01:05.:01:07.

we hear new evidence that migrants are returning to the town.

:01:08.:01:10.

Today, I'm talking about the housing market, as new research says average

:01:11.:01:13.

But as sales fall, I'll be looking at what is going on.

:01:14.:01:18.

In sport, Sanchez shines for Arsenal.

:01:19.:01:20.

His winner in extra-time sees them book their place in the FA Cup final

:01:21.:01:24.

And this is St Davids in south-west Wales.

:01:25.:01:31.

We'll be live there later as the search for the next UK City

:01:32.:01:35.

Good morning. Good morning. A taste of winter in the forecast this week

:01:36.:01:49.

with some snow, especially in the north and north-east. There will be

:01:50.:01:55.

some sunshine. It is not until the second part of the weekend the

:01:56.:02:00.

weekend that it will warm up. And I will have more details on 50

:02:01.:02:02.

minutes. Thank you, Carol. -- 15. French voters have rejected the two

:02:03.:02:08.

traditional ruling parties, with their candidates

:02:09.:02:12.

being knocked out in the first Instead, the pro-European,

:02:13.:02:14.

Emmanuel Macron, is set to face the far-right leader,

:02:15.:02:18.

Marine Le Pen, in a run-off Mr Macron is widely seen

:02:19.:02:21.

as favourite as our Europe correspondent, James

:02:22.:02:25.

Reynolds, reports Emanuel Macron is France's newcomer,

:02:26.:02:30.

and now the winner of this election to back first round. He is an

:02:31.:02:36.

insider who has run as an outsider. The 39-year-old is EU and grow

:02:37.:02:43.

business and a centrist. He resigned as a minister in order to form his

:02:44.:02:46.

own political movement. And his gamble has paid off. TRANSLATION: I

:02:47.:02:50.

hope that in a fortnight, I will become your

:02:51.:02:58.

president. His supporters believe the rest of the country will now

:02:59.:03:04.

rally around him. This is his first election. The French people still

:03:05.:03:09.

hardly know him. He is now the favourite to become the next

:03:10.:03:12.

president of this country. Marine Le Pen, the leader of Front National,

:03:13.:03:19.

will fight him in the final round. She won more votes than the party

:03:20.:03:24.

has ever won before. She matched her father's achievement 13 years ago in

:03:25.:03:30.

reaching a presidential run-off. The French people must take this

:03:31.:03:34.

historic opportunity, because the bigger issue is the globalisation

:03:35.:03:44.

putting our civilisation in danger. In Bastille Square in Paris,

:03:45.:03:48.

protesters faced off against the police. These demonstrators were

:03:49.:03:52.

angered by the result of this vote. Day, and the rest of the country,

:03:53.:03:57.

will have their final say in two weeks' time. James Reynolds, BBC

:03:58.:03:59.

News, Paris. Let's speak now to our Paris

:04:00.:04:00.

correspondent, Hugh Schofield. How much does this first

:04:01.:04:03.

round result illustrate that France is breaking away from

:04:04.:04:05.

the political norm? Give us a sense of the significance.

:04:06.:04:14.

Quite a turnaround, isn't it? Yes, indeed. Two outsiders in the

:04:15.:04:20.

running. All questions are now focusing on who will win in two

:04:21.:04:26.

weeks' time. Before the election, Marine Le Pen told me, and every

:04:27.:04:30.

other journalist wanted to ask that question, whether Emanuel Macron was

:04:31.:04:35.

her ideal opponent, because she wants to turn it into France versus

:04:36.:04:40.

globalisation. She believes there are many people out there who

:04:41.:04:45.

believe in medal Davos Mis a Davos man, Mr moneybags, someone who likes

:04:46.:04:53.

the existing system. If she can tap into that feeling in France, she

:04:54.:04:58.

will expand her support from 20 something which it is now. It will

:04:59.:05:02.

be a big fight for her at all the polls suggest she will not make it.

:05:03.:05:07.

There is a lot riding around Macron. Every suggestion, and my feeling, is

:05:08.:05:12.

that he is almost certain to be the leader of France. We will talk about

:05:13.:05:16.

it a lot on our programme. Thank you.

:05:17.:05:17.

Police in have begun a murder inquiry after a former Royal Navy

:05:18.:05:20.

officer was killed by thieves who stole his car from

:05:21.:05:23.

Michael Samwell, 35, died after confronting intruders

:05:24.:05:25.

who broke into his home in Greater Manchester in the early

:05:26.:05:28.

How did a disturbance at a house in the early hours and in a murder

:05:29.:05:40.

investigation? Michael Samwell and his wife were woken up by a loud

:05:41.:05:44.

noise, and the former Royal Navy officer went downstairs to have a

:05:45.:05:47.

look. The exact sequence of events that followed are not clear that be

:05:48.:05:52.

but outside, now cordoned off, the 35 year old was run over as his car

:05:53.:05:56.

was stolen. He later died in hospital. The car was found

:05:57.:06:01.

abandoned a few miles away but the leaders could have happened to

:06:02.:06:06.

anyone. You hear a noise downstairs and you go and see what it is. It is

:06:07.:06:10.

incredibly tragic he has lost his life. This is described as a quiet

:06:11.:06:14.

corner of Manchester. And they gathered in silence. People came to

:06:15.:06:19.

pay their respects, laying flowers at the scene. Over a battery

realistic item, a car, to take a life. -- materialistic. Is that what

:06:28.:06:34.

it has come down to? It will be a bit different here now. I am a bit

:06:35.:06:40.

shaken up because it is close to ours. I am scared. Whoever is

:06:41.:06:43.

responsible is still on the run. One theory is they did break in simply

:06:44.:06:48.

to get their hands on the car. If that is the case, it leads to a far

:06:49.:06:55.

more serious enquiry. BBC News. We will have more on that later in the

:06:56.:06:57.

morning. Jeremy Corbyn is promising to repeal

:06:58.:06:58.

what he calls "vicious" trade union legislation, brought

:06:59.:07:02.

in by the Conservatives, The Labour leader is making his

:07:03.:07:03.

first campaign visit to Scotland today, where his party is trying

:07:04.:07:08.

to claw back support after huge losses in the election

:07:09.:07:12.

two years ago. Our political correspondent,

:07:13.:07:13.

Chris Mason, is in Westminster Chris, Mr Corbyn had

:07:14.:07:16.

a tough day yesterday? It was. It struck at the heart of

:07:17.:07:28.

the central castle Jeremy Corbyn has had ever since he became the Labour

:07:29.:07:34.

leader. -- tussle. It is simple. He has views and his MPs have different

:07:35.:07:38.

ones. The Mets yesterday was around the issue of defence, in particular,

:07:39.:07:45.

the nuclear deterrent. He has been a lifelong unilateralist, a person

:07:46.:07:53.

wants to get rid of it. So he said in an interview with the BBC that

:07:54.:07:58.

the discussion around that policy had not yet been concluded. A couple

:07:59.:08:04.

of hours later a statement was put out saying yes he had and labour

:08:05.:08:11.

would keep it. They also talked about the Scottish trade union

:08:12.:08:15.

Congress. He will mention policies he is proud of, like the ?10 minimum

:08:16.:08:23.

wage hike. The Scottish National Party also addressed the same

:08:24.:08:26.

Congress saying Labour are not the challenges for them they are facing

:08:27.:08:31.

the Tories. They say the SNP are the only ones who can be a viable

:08:32.:08:36.

opposition to them. Thank you very much. We will see you a little bit

:08:37.:08:38.

later on. Two men are due to appear in court

:08:39.:08:39.

today, charged in connection with an acid attack at a nightclub

:08:40.:08:42.

in east London on Easter Monday, which left two people

:08:43.:08:46.

blind in one eye. Arthur Collins, who's 24

:08:47.:08:48.

and the boyfriend of the reality TV star, Ferne McCann, is facing 14

:08:49.:08:51.

counts of wounding with intent and one count of throwing corrosive

:08:52.:08:54.

fluid with intent to cause Andre Phoenix, who's 21,

:08:55.:08:57.

faces seven counts of wounding with intent to cause

:08:58.:09:00.

grievous bodily harm. Tougher punishments for the most

:09:01.:09:06.

serious cases of speeding have come into force in England

:09:07.:09:09.

and Wales today. Drivers can now be fined 1.5

:09:10.:09:11.

times their weekly wage That means driving over 50 miles

:09:12.:09:13.

an hour in a 30 zone or 100 miles The Government will go

:09:14.:09:19.

to the High Court to try to delay publishing its strategy

:09:20.:09:26.

for tackling air pollution. Today was the deadline for ministers

:09:27.:09:28.

to present their plans, but they claim voting rules mean

:09:29.:09:31.

they can't publish sensitive policies before

:09:32.:09:34.

the General Election. Campaigners say they're trying

:09:35.:09:35.

to dodge a difficult issue. Our environment analyst,

:09:36.:09:38.

Roger Harrabin, reports. Britain's fill the air was supposed

:09:39.:09:54.

to have been cleaned up by 2010. Governments found the task hard and

:09:55.:09:58.

expensive, so policies have crept along. Until campaigners at the High

:09:59.:10:03.

Court one day case that ministers had a legal duty to protect people

:10:04.:10:09.

from pollution. -- won there. Today was the date stipulated for the air

:10:10.:10:13.

pollution policy to be published. That was until this. I have just

:10:14.:10:18.

chaired a meeting of the cabinet where we agreed that the government

:10:19.:10:23.

should call a general election. Her election announcement, ministers

:10:24.:10:25.

argue, made it impossible to publish the document now. It is too

:10:26.:10:30.

politically sensitive and in breach of election rules. Here is the real

:10:31.:10:37.

reason for the big delay, say green campaigners, dirty diesel cars. And

:10:38.:10:40.

the government dithering over a pollution tax rate Costly scrapping

:10:41.:10:45.

scheme. They had five months to come up with a new plan and have waited

:10:46.:10:50.

until the last minute. That is unacceptable We need this plan

:10:51.:10:56.

introduced now. People are suffering. It is a public health

:10:57.:11:04.

issue, not a political one. If ministers persuade the judge to

:11:05.:11:07.

delay, any prickly political decisions will come after the

:11:08.:11:08.

election. Roger Harrabin, BBC News. Over 40,000 runners crossed

:11:09.:11:09.

the London Marathon finish And while a record number

:11:10.:11:12.

of competitors took part in the race, this is the moment

:11:13.:11:15.

everyone is talking about. Matthew Rees stopped his race

:11:16.:11:18.

to help David Wyeth cross The organisers have praised Mr Rees,

:11:19.:11:21.

saying he "encompassed everything that's so special about

:11:22.:11:24.

the London Marathon." We'll be reuniting the duo,

:11:25.:11:26.

just after half past seven. Congratulations to all of them. I

:11:27.:11:32.

bet they are feeling a bit sore this morning. This is amazing. He got a

:11:33.:11:52.

massive amount of applause. We will reunite them soon. I hope he is

:11:53.:11:57.

feeling better than that this morning. He was speaking. Amazingly,

:11:58.:12:05.

they did it under three hours, both of them. Staggering, literally.

:12:06.:12:08.

A group of British firms has unveiled plans to test driverless

:12:09.:12:11.

cars on city roads and motorways in the UK, for the first time.

:12:12.:12:15.

The Driven Consortium, backed by government money,

:12:16.:12:16.

intends to try out a fleet of autonomous vehicles

:12:17.:12:19.

So far, trials of driverless vehicles in the UK have mainly taken

:12:20.:12:24.

place at slow speeds and not on public roads.

:12:25.:12:31.

A 12-year-old who was trying to drive across the entire breadth

:12:32.:12:36.

of Australia has been arrested by police.

:12:37.:12:38.

The boy was already 800 miles into his journey when he was pulled

:12:39.:12:45.

over by a routine patrol because the bumper of his vehicle

:12:46.:12:48.

Police believe he'd planned to keep going all the way to Perth,

The minimum driving age in New South Wales

:12:55.:12:57.

So many questions. Like how did he persuade people he could fill up

:12:58.:13:07.

with petrol. Presumably he must have done it. Hopefully he has an older

Hastings. He is on later. Are you up-to-date with Line Of Duty? I am

:13:29.:13:32.

not even finished with season one. Get out of the studio. I am on

:13:33.:13:39.

spoiler-duty alert. I will make sure no one has anything real. When we do

:13:40.:13:45.

the interview, there are things we have to talk about. -- ruined. . If

:13:46.:13:50.

you are not up-to-date, you will have to not listen. I will have to

:13:51.:13:56.

make several cups of tea because I have not seen it and I know it is

:13:57.:14:00.

brilliant. He is one of the superstars of the series. I will

:14:01.:14:02.

make myself scarce at that point. Isn't that a great picture of Arsene

:14:03.:14:16.

Wenger? That encompasses exact what it means to him. They are under so

:14:17.:14:22.

much pressure, Arsenal. If they win the FA Cup, could that justify him

:14:23.:14:27.

staying in the job after all of that criticism? Yes, good morning,

:14:28.:14:30.

everyone. Arsenal will play Chelsea in next

:14:31.:14:31.

month's FA Cup final after they beat The Gunners came from behind

:14:32.:14:34.

to secure a 2-1 win in the semi final after Alexis Sanchez

:14:35.:14:39.

poached their winner. It's his 24th goal of the season

:14:40.:14:41.

and means manager Arsene Wenger now has the chance to win

:14:42.:14:45.

his seventh FA Cup. Meanwhile, Chelsea's N'Golo Kante

:14:46.:14:47.

has been named the PFA's player The midfielder, who joined

:14:48.:14:50.

from Leicester last summer, Tottenham's Dele Alli

Old Firm rivals Rangers 2-0 And Great Britain's women's tennis

:15:06.:15:08.

team lost their Fed Cup play-off match to Romania, after both

:15:09.:15:14.

Johanna Konta and Heather Watson failed to win their

:15:15.:15:17.

singles rubbers . The tie was overshadowed

:15:18.:15:18.

by the banning of Romanian captain Illie Nastase for swearing

:15:19.:15:21.

at officials and the British team. It really ended on a sour note,

:15:22.:15:34.

that. They did not shake hands at the end of the match. They were off

:15:35.:15:40.

to celebrate with their team instead. All kinds of bad things

:15:41.:15:43.

written in the press about the tension in the third cup tie. Such a

:15:44.:15:51.

shame. -- Fed Cup tie. And we will have more goals later. Yes, some

:15:52.:15:53.

magic from Lionel Messi. look at the frost around, Carol.

:15:54.:16:08.

Warning to those of you. The recent frost around. Not just frost but as

:16:09.:16:12.

we go through the first half of this week there is an and is in the

:16:13.:16:16.

forecast as well. Some of us will cease now but not all of us. What is

:16:17.:16:21.

happening today as we have a few weather fronts sinking south. Behind

:16:22.:16:27.

the cold front, look how that cold air it goes southwards, reaching

:16:28.:16:30.

their later this evening. All of us will be feeling it by tonight and

:16:31.:16:34.

tomorrow morning. First thing this morning we do have bright skies

:16:35.:16:39.

across the southern counties. Here we also look at sunshine. And as we

:16:40.:16:42.

go through the morning you will start to notice increasing amounts

:16:43.:16:46.

of cloud cold in from the north-west. At this it should remain

:16:47.:16:51.

largely dry. Temperatures at eight o'clock between nine and 11 degrees.

:16:52.:16:55.

Moving into the Midlands, East Anglia and Wales there is more cloud

:16:56.:17:00.

around, spots of rain that extend across northern England into

:17:01.:17:02.

Northern Ireland as well. Moving south so it will brighten up. A lot

:17:03.:17:09.

of sunshine in Scotland. It is also cold. Across the north there is

:17:10.:17:14.

snow, even at lower levels as we go through the course of the day. There

:17:15.:17:18.

will also be sleet and hail in as well. The wind will strengthen in

:17:19.:17:22.

the north, touching gale force with that exposure. They come straight

:17:23.:17:26.

down from the Arctic so it will accentuate the cold. Through the

:17:27.:17:30.

day, there goes the patchy rain moving into southern counties and we

:17:31.:17:34.

hang on to the wintry and is in the north but even through the afternoon

:17:35.:17:37.

we could see wintry showers heading down through eastern Scotland into

:17:38.:17:45.

north-east England. Calls you are in Aberdeen this afternoon with a

:17:46.:17:50.

maximum temperature of two Celsius but we hang on to mild conditions in

:17:51.:17:54.

the south. That will not last. As we go into the evening and overnight

:17:55.:17:59.

and there goes our weather front into the Channel Islands. And clear

:18:00.:18:03.

skies so there will be a lot of frost around tonight and, still,

:18:04.:18:06.

those showers persisting and snow across the far north. You can see

:18:07.:18:10.

how it comes down that is closed as well. Showers though not all of us

:18:11.:18:16.

can see them. And still is an wintry as in the forecast, is still a low

:18:17.:18:21.

level in the north as we come down the eastern side of England, for

:18:22.:18:24.

example, some showers will be wintry as well with a mix of hail and sleet

:18:25.:18:29.

and thunder and lightning. More showers developing over towards the

:18:30.:18:32.

west, one of those may have wintry component is well both of the south

:18:33.:18:36.

we are looking at rise of 11 degrees. Still cold as we look

:18:37.:18:41.

further north. And as we head on into Wednesday, a mixture. We still

:18:42.:18:45.

have some rain in the south, al be a really patchy. More rain coming in

:18:46.:18:50.

across the north but after that temperatures will pick up and it

:18:51.:18:55.

will not feel quite as cool. Thank you, Carol, see you later. Let's

:18:56.:19:04.

look at the of the newspapers. The front page of the Telegraph is

:19:05.:19:07.

talking about labour's nuclear implosion. An interview the Jeremy

:19:08.:19:12.

Corbyn did yesterday ruling out ever using a nuclear deterrent or

:19:13.:19:17.

refusing to back a drone strike to call a nice as leader. The Labour

:19:18.:19:21.

Party had to come out and make sure, to re- clarify, is that the way they

:19:22.:19:26.

are putting? The position they hold on Trident. Lots of pictures as well

:19:27.:19:34.

of the London marathon. Lovely. This is front page of the Daily Mirror.

:19:35.:19:37.

Again, the picture from the marathon. We have these two runners

:19:38.:19:55.

here... Their main story is Maddie McCann snatched a rich family, that

:19:56.:19:58.

is the main story of the mirror. From page of the mail, don't lots of

:19:59.:20:03.

paper talking about what happen in France yesterday. They call it the

:20:04.:20:06.

new French Revolution. This is a picture of the wife in the Navy

:20:07.:20:10.

officer who was her husband, who was killed by car thieves when they took

:20:11.:20:15.

his car from outside his house. The front page of the Times this morning

:20:16.:20:20.

has a picture of Marine Le Pen, French elite humiliated as outsiders

:20:21.:20:23.

slip to victory. We should be live in Paris for the very latest on

:20:24.:20:27.

throughout the morning for you. Financial Times, talking about the

:20:28.:20:32.

French presidential election. Emmanual Macron and Marine Le Pen to

:20:33.:20:38.

face-off is the way they phrase that. I give you a flash of the

:20:39.:20:44.

Guardian. They have, again, a picture of not Marine Le Pen, she is

:20:45.:20:48.

in the small picture there, but Mr Macron. Macron versus Marine Le Pen.

:20:49.:20:55.

The result expected from the final round in two week's time. Front page

:20:56.:21:01.

of many this morning. How often use cash these days? It has reduced

:21:02.:21:08.

heavily. Now there are some cafes where they say they are not taking

:21:09.:21:12.

any cash at all. Really? We don't take cash. Yes. Because the person

:21:13.:21:20.

who owns this cafe is from south-east London, one of many they

:21:21.:21:25.

safe, small businesses now accepting payments only by card because the

:21:26.:21:29.

owner had been in Sweden and been to many different places and realised

:21:30.:21:33.

that he had not spent any cash at all because places did not take it

:21:34.:21:36.

and they have not noticed. They wanted to try that out here because

:21:37.:21:40.

it is quite expensive for businesses to handle cash. That is quite

:21:41.:21:48.

interesting, isn't it? I think it is very interesting, not having any

:21:49.:21:52.

cash at all. Imagine, this is in the Times today. Imagine you go down to

:21:53.:21:56.

your local tennis club on a Sunday free bit of a hit and you hear

:21:57.:22:00.

someone grunting on the court next door. Anything, hang on, is second,

:22:01.:22:05.

that sounds like Maria Sharapova. It is. She is having a comeback this

:22:06.:22:10.

week from her doping and for taking a banned substance. She spent 15

:22:11.:22:15.

months out of the sport and she is returning to play in Stuttgart. But

:22:16.:22:20.

she is not allowed into the arena at Stuttgart to practise until midnight

:22:21.:22:24.

tomorrow night. So she is using a local tennis club to practise. And,

:22:25.:22:28.

so, families are playing on the court next door to her, she had to

:22:29.:22:32.

walk past their courts to go to the cafe to get a drink of water and

:22:33.:22:36.

stuff like that. But, yeah, this is Maria Sharapova's comeback to

:22:37.:22:40.

Dennis. All that grunting. The buildup. To quickly show you this? I

:22:41.:22:51.

cannot believe this is true but apparently you now that I am a big

:22:52.:22:56.

fan of coffee. Apparently just climbing the stairs will do me more

:22:57.:23:00.

good than actually having a cup of coffee I do not believe that. But,

:23:01.:23:05.

that is not practical, is it? You want to go climb the stairs for ten

:23:06.:23:10.

minutes? Yes, go for it. It is a step up... Can I just show you a big

:23:11.:23:20.

dog? Yes. A big dog, a massive one. 15 stone six. When he stands up here

:23:21.:23:31.

seven foot tall. Seven feet! That is him standing on two legs.

:23:32.:23:32.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:23:33.:23:34.

At its peak the make-shift camp known as the Jungle in Calais

:23:35.:23:40.

was home to 7,000 migrants, most desperately looking for a route

:23:41.:23:43.

Six months ago it was shut down and authorities say there are only

:23:44.:23:47.

around 100 migrants still in the French port.

:23:48.:23:50.

But a new report seen exclusively by BBC Breakfast puts the figure

:23:51.:23:53.

at four times that, with migrants including

:23:54.:23:55.

unaccompanied children sleeping rough in Calais and Paris.

:23:56.:23:57.

Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been to Northern France to see the impact

:23:58.:24:00.

Six months after the jungle closed, the centre of Calais is a picture of

:24:01.:24:15.

calm. Cafe culture at its most serene. The port, so long a

:24:16.:24:19.

destination for migrants is now running normally. Laurie traffic is

:24:20.:24:26.

up 10%. It is very quiet. Before we had 8000 migrants per month to day

:24:27.:24:40.

that is down to 300. The jungle was home to some 10,000 migrants. It

:24:41.:24:44.

came to be seen by the authorities as a magnet or people wanting to get

:24:45.:24:48.

to Britain. So did closing it solve a problem? Bottles... Rocks... When

:24:49.:24:59.

he crosses the border into France, Jacob won't stop. So we caught up

:25:00.:25:04.

with him in Belgium. Although it is safe getting in and out of France

:25:05.:25:09.

the problem now is that you do not feel safe in more areas of friends.

:25:10.:25:14.

It has not got work, it has not gone away. It simply moved the problem.

:25:15.:25:20.

Six in the evening. On the corner of an industrial estate in Calais, a

:25:21.:25:25.

nightly ritual is played out. Charities hand out food and clothes

:25:26.:25:28.

to migrants. Most teenagers without their parents, like this 15-year-old

:25:29.:25:35.

from Eritrea. You want to go to England? And do you have family

:25:36.:25:41.

there? Yes. Your uncle is there? Why do you not stay here and claim

:25:42.:25:45.

asylum here in France. I do not like it. You do not like France? The

:25:46.:25:52.

report out today from the refugee Project says there are about 400

:25:53.:25:56.

migrants in Calais today, many sleeping in the woods. Public

:25:57.:26:00.

opinion has hardened war forms of migration but Michael McCue's from

:26:01.:26:05.

the refugee youth service says a genuine asylum claims must be heard.

:26:06.:26:09.

It is not about what people want or do not want. We have tens of

:26:10.:26:13.

thousands of children's moving across Europe. There is a legal

:26:14.:26:17.

right for many of these children to go to the UK. It is being actively

:26:18.:26:23.

obstructed. 30 minutes from Calais, this is what is left of another

:26:24.:26:27.

microcap near Dunkirk. It burnt down after a fight between rival groups

:26:28.:26:32.

of Kurds and Afghans. This is where many migrants came when the jungle

:26:33.:26:35.

closed. The French government had plans in place to dismantle the camp

:26:36.:26:39.

for the fire. The government wants to pretend that the problem does not

:26:40.:26:44.

exist and the strategy is to destroy the places where people live,

:26:45.:26:49.

thinking that if we destroy their places and they have no places to be

:26:50.:26:55.

a will disappear. Just after seven a.m. In Calais, the police move in.

:26:56.:26:59.

The French determined another account will not be established. One

:27:00.:27:03.

of the migrants is arrested. The problem here has been alleviated but

:27:04.:27:09.

not solved. As the weather improves, thousands of migrants are already on

morning's main news. I will take responsibility for all

of the spoiler alerts. I'm on Team Ted. Go, Ted!

:32:31.:32:31.

In an extraordinary result, French voters have rejected the two

:32:32.:32:34.

traditional ruling parties, with their candidates being knocked

:32:35.:32:36.

out in the first round of the Presidential election.

:32:37.:32:38.

Instead, the far-right leader, Marine le Pen, is set to face

:32:39.:32:41.

Mr Macron is widely seen as the favourite going

:32:42.:32:45.

Police have begun a murder inquiry after a former Royal Navy officer

:32:46.:32:52.

Jeremy Corbyn is promising to repeal what he calls "vicious" trade union

The Labour leader will make the pledge today to trade union

The government will go to the High Court to try to delay

:33:25.:33:28.

publishing its strategy for tackling air pollution.

:33:29.:33:30.

Today was the deadline for ministers to present their plans,

:33:31.:33:32.

but they claim voting rules mean they can't publish sensitive

:33:33.:33:35.

policies before the General Election.

:33:36.:33:36.

Campaigners say they're trying to dodge a difficult issue

:33:37.:33:39.

because of nervousness about increasing tax

:33:40.:33:40.

Over 40,000 runners crossed the London Marathon finish

:33:41.:33:54.

And while a record number of competitors took part

:33:55.:33:58.

in the race, this is the moment everyone is talking about.

:33:59.:34:01.

Matthew Rees stopped his race to help David Wyeth cross

:34:02.:34:03.

The organisers have praised Mr Rees, saying he "encompassed everything

:34:04.:34:08.

that's so special about the London Marathon."

:34:09.:34:13.

We'll be reuniting the duo just after half past seven.

:34:14.:34:17.

That was a lovely moment. Amazing. I am surprised you are not gushing

:34:18.:34:38.

already. Yesterday it did wring tears to my eyes. I did a race.

:34:39.:34:46.

Maybe I was a bit tired, but it did not do it to me. Imagine you have

:34:47.:34:52.

trained that hard and you are going for your time. He must have added

:34:53.:35:00.

another 5-6 minute onto his. Incredible athletes and sportsmen as

:35:01.:35:05.

well. I was also watching the FA Cup semi-final yesterday. What a match.

:35:06.:35:12.

I was doing my on line shopping as well at the same time. I love the

:35:13.:35:17.

insight into your life. Absolutely brilliant. Into extra time as well.

:35:18.:35:20.

A group of British firms has unveiled plans to test driverless

:35:21.:35:30.

Arsenal will face Chelsea in next month's FA Cup final,

:35:31.:35:33.

after beating Manchester City 2-1 in extra time at Wembley.

:35:34.:35:35.

They did it the hard way in the semi-final,

:35:36.:35:38.

coming from behind after City had taken the lead through Sergio

:35:39.:35:41.

The Gunners though found an equaliser through Nacho Monreal

:35:42.:35:44.

to send the game into extra time, before Alexis Sanchez then

:35:45.:35:46.

People questioned us a lot recently. We had some tough times. But in

:35:47.:35:53.

these difficult times, you can be divided, which is the natural

:35:54.:35:57.

inclination, or you can be united. And I think today we showed the

:35:58.:36:01.

right response and stayed together. We are not in the final. We tried to

:36:02.:36:18.

do it. Umm... So, I don't have too many regrets. I don't have regrets

:36:19.:36:23.

with the team. We tried to do what we wanted to do. And that is it.

:36:24.:36:25.

So, no trophy for Pep Guardiola this year, and Manchester United

:36:26.:36:28.

are breathing down their rivals' necks in the Premier League.

:36:29.:36:31.

A 2-0 win at Burnley means Jose Mourinho's side are now just

:36:32.:36:34.

a point behind City and the fourth Champions League spot.

:36:35.:36:37.

Which gives Thursday's Manchester Derby an extra bit of spice.

:36:38.:36:39.

United have something of an injury crisis,

:36:40.:36:41.

Wayne Rooney made just his second Premier League start of the year

:36:42.:36:44.

but he and Anthony Martial scored for United to secure the win.

:36:45.:36:51.

Third placed Liverpool slipped up, losing 2-1 at home to Crystal

:36:52.:36:54.

Philip Coutinho put the hosts ahead with a great free kick,

:36:55.:37:00.

but two goals by former Liverpool forward Christian Benteke gave

:37:01.:37:03.

Palace the victory and eases their relegation worries.

:37:04.:37:05.

Chelsea's N'Golo Kante has won the Professional Footballers

:37:06.:37:07.

Association Player of the Year Award.

:37:08.:37:09.

The midfielder, who was instrumental in Leicester's title win last season

:37:10.:37:12.

topped the poll which is voted for by fellow players.

:37:13.:37:15.

Tottenham's Dele Alli won the young player prize for the second

:37:16.:37:18.

successive year while Manchester City's Lucy Bronze won

:37:19.:37:20.

the Women's Player of the Year Award.

:37:21.:37:25.

Celtic remain on course for their first domestic treble

:37:26.:37:28.

since 2001 after they beat Old Firm rivals Rangers 2-0 to reach

:37:29.:37:31.

They've already wrapped up the league title

:37:32.:37:34.

and the Scottish League Cup this season and an early goal

:37:35.:37:37.

Scott Sinclair doubled their lead with a penalty in the second half,

:37:38.:37:42.

the third goal he's scored against Rangers this season.

:37:43.:37:44.

Celtic will face Aberdeen in the final next month.

:37:45.:37:55.

We have to keep our heads in the ground and focused. We have a few

:37:56.:38:07.

games to focus on. We are undefeated in the league. We have to keep that

:38:08.:38:12.

going. We still have it all to play for. It will keep us in good shape.

:38:13.:38:20.

Here are the goals you have been looking forward to.

:38:21.:38:30.

Not only did the game begin with this month's Masters winner,

:38:31.:38:33.

Sergio Garcia, being paraded before the crowd inside the Bernabeau,

:38:34.:38:36.

It was 2-2 going into the final ten seconds of injury time

:38:37.:38:41.

when Lionel Messi scored a dramatic winner.

:38:42.:38:43.

Sergio Ramos was sent off. That is incredible. 500 goals!

:38:44.:39:02.

Great Britain have lost their Fed Cup play-off

:39:03.:39:04.

against Romania after Johanna Konta and Heather Watson both

:39:05.:39:06.

It was a much less controversial day's play, following the Romania

:39:07.:39:11.

captain Ilie Nastase's ban on Saturday for swearing at a number

:39:12.:39:14.

Simona Halep beat the British number one in straight sets,

:39:15.:39:17.

while Watson lost her rubber to Irina-Camelia Begu.

:39:18.:39:20.

The 3-1 defeat means Britain now move back to the Europe-Africa Zone.

:39:21.:39:36.

Now we've heard about the sportsmanship of Swansea Harriers

:39:37.:39:38.

runner Matthew Rees at the London Marathon,

:39:39.:39:40.

he helped fellow competitor David Wyeth over the line.

:39:41.:39:43.

But he wasn't the only member of the Swansea club to shine

:39:44.:39:46.

Josh Griffiths was running his first marathon.

:39:47.:39:48.

Not only did he finish, he was the first Briton

:39:49.:39:51.

across the line with a time of two hours 14 minutes 49 seconds,

:39:52.:39:54.

He completed the course in a qualifying time

:39:55.:39:58.

for the World Championships so quite a day for the club runner from South

:39:59.:40:02.

Have a look about. Coming from absolutely nowhere! Did not even

:40:03.:40:07.

look too bad at the end over there. And he is going to the World

:40:08.:40:11.

Championships if he wants to of course. He will be alongside some of

:40:12.:40:26.

the best runners in the world. That is one of my dreams that repeats.

:40:27.:40:37.

Most people have exam anxiety dreams. Maybe I need some better

:40:38.:40:44.

one's. These are dreams and you need to turn them into reality.

:40:45.:41:05.

This is data from one of the biggest property websites Rightmove.

:41:06.:41:08.

That's up 2.2% compared to last year.

:41:09.:41:14.

And that is the slowest growth in asking prices for four years.

:41:15.:41:17.

Also, it's obviously not just about what people are asking,

:41:18.:41:20.

And house prices are growing at half the rate since last summer,

:41:21.:41:27.

according to official figures.

:41:28.:41:29.

Rising inflation is hitting our pockets too,

:41:30.:41:31.

which could put pressure on the market.

:41:32.:41:42.

Or is the estate agent. -- with me. What do you think about this? As you

:41:43.:41:52.

said, asking prices are readily one part of the story. It will encourage

:41:53.:42:01.

confidence. There is also always a mixed picture on that. The key point

:42:02.:42:07.

is not asking prices, but achievement prices. What is it

:42:08.:42:13.

telling us at the moment? The market is in a stable place. It is not

:42:14.:42:18.

absolutely flying like it was in its absolute peak, but it is a long way

:42:19.:42:23.

better than the depths of despair in 2007. Surveys tell us sales rate the

:42:24.:42:29.

highest point in volume since that terrible time back in the financial

:42:30.:42:34.

crisis of 2007. Even though prices are not running the way they were,

:42:35.:42:38.

the number of deals is that a satisfactory level. You are saying

:42:39.:42:44.

the number of deals is at a satisfactory level. What could

:42:45.:42:49.

change? There is obviously still uncertainty to come. The European

:42:50.:42:54.

Union and Brexit. There is always a combination of factors taking place.

:42:55.:42:57.

The fundamentals of any market are the demand and availability of

:42:58.:43:03.

finance. If you have those two critical points, that should get you

:43:04.:43:07.

through these bumps in the road like general elections and referendums

:43:08.:43:10.

and those kinds of things. If you don't have those fundamentals, you

:43:11.:43:16.

can have problems. But at the moment we see that the levels of demand are

:43:17.:43:20.

good, especially with first-time buyers as well. Mortgage finance is

:43:21.:43:25.

reasonably good in relative terms. We would anticipate those would help

:43:26.:43:28.

through these other events which will make people think twice. It is

:43:29.:43:34.

about confidence. Absolutely, it is the key to the market. When you are

:43:35.:43:45.

looking at houses, do you see lots of "Sold" boards around? That makes

:43:46.:43:52.

a huge difference. Also what you hear in the news. That affects

:43:53.:43:59.

confidence either well or badly. At the moment, things are not euphoric,

:44:00.:44:07.

but there certainly stable. People are feeling reasonably confident

:44:08.:44:10.

about the market. That is helping us through other headwinds and factors.

:44:11.:44:14.

Thank you very much for your time this morning, Robert Reed. If you

:44:15.:44:18.

have time, talk to us in an hour's drive. -- time. The weather is

:44:19.:44:23.

calling. That was a live shiver. then. And I will be back in half an

:44:24.:44:29.

hour. A taste of winter though we are

:44:30.:44:35.

looking for the first half of this week. It will be far colder with

:44:36.:44:41.

some of us seeing snow. Parts of northern England are moderate but

:44:42.:44:45.

for the rest of the UK, temperatures are low. We will cease and showers

:44:46.:44:51.

not just today but also through tomorrow and Wednesday and frosty

:44:52.:44:54.

nights. So, gardeners, take note. What is happening today is we have a

:44:55.:44:59.

cold front or to thinking southwards and beyond that the air will come

:45:00.:45:03.

straight down from the Arctic. Later this evening it will be across all

:45:04.:45:08.

of us. The thing this morning, it is not. We still have high temperatures

:45:09.:45:12.

to start the day in the south but colder already across the north and

:45:13.:45:15.

that is where we are seeing some snow. Into this morning. We have got

:45:16.:45:19.

some sunshine just throughout the day across southern parts of

:45:20.:45:23.

England. Temperatures by eight o'clock around ten or 11 Celsius. As

:45:24.:45:27.

they move across the Midlands into East Anglia, it is a cloudier

:45:28.:45:33.

picture with some patchy rain. The patchy rain extends across the

:45:34.:45:36.

northern England, the Isle of Man and also southern parts of Northern

:45:37.:45:40.

Ireland that was a front means the rain is thinking south and behind it

:45:41.:45:43.

it will brighten up quite nicely. Cold, however. Some sunshine and

:45:44.:45:49.

snow, especially across a far north of Scotland, even at lower levels.

:45:50.:45:53.

Through the day, the other thing that will happen is that the wind

:45:54.:45:56.

will pick up, especially in the north but if you recall that is

:45:57.:46:00.

coming from the Arctic so what is quite accentuated. As the weather

:46:01.:46:06.

since Southee can see what happens. More showers across the east of

:46:07.:46:11.

Scotland into England. At lower levels across north-east England it

:46:12.:46:15.

is more likely to be sleet and hail a little rain in there as well. As

:46:16.:46:21.

the other weather front thinks Southee will produce patchy rain.

:46:22.:46:24.

You can see a difference in temperature. It is not cold in the

:46:25.:46:28.

south but it certainly is in the north, it will feel raw up there,

:46:29.:46:32.

especially in the wind. Through the evening and overnight, is windy.

:46:33.:46:36.

There is still a wintry flavour coming south but for Scotland into

:46:37.:46:39.

Northern Ireland and also across parts of north-east England and

:46:40.:46:43.

Wales but not all of us will see it. There will be a lot of dry weather

:46:44.:46:47.

around and we also have a widespread frost. Tomorrow we start with a

:46:48.:46:55.

strong wind, still some snow showers down to levels in the north of the

:46:56.:46:59.

country. Again in the east were likely to see some showers being

:47:00.:47:03.

wintry with a mix of hail, thunder, lightning, wet snow and we may see

:47:04.:47:07.

the odd wintry Flake over in the west but most of us will just see

:47:08.:47:12.

some rain. Wrap up warm for the next few days. Thank you very much,

:47:13.:47:18.

Carol. That was sound advice. I have got my big coat out again. General

:47:19.:47:26.

Lord Richards has told the Daily Telegraph this morning the Jeremy

:47:27.:47:29.

Corbyn should not be trusted with the defence of the nation.

:47:30.:47:30.

Yesterday Jeremy Corbyn said he would review of "all aspects"

:47:31.:47:33.

of defence if Labour won power, but refused to say whether he would

:47:34.:47:37.

keep Britain's Trident nuclear deterrent.

:47:38.:47:38.

Andrew Gwynne is Labour's National Elections and Campaign co-ordinator

:47:39.:47:42.

Good morning and thank you for joining us. There is quite a lot of

:47:43.:47:50.

pick up and I want to be quite clear this morning with you. What is

:47:51.:47:55.

Labour Party policy. Will it renew Trident. The party policy is that

:47:56.:48:01.

Trident will be renewed. That has been agreed and settled by the

:48:02.:48:04.

National policy Forum and by our annual conference. How then does

:48:05.:48:09.

Jeremy Corbyn not answer the question in the same way that you

:48:10.:48:13.

did? Well, of course, Jeremy talking about a wider defence review and we

:48:14.:48:18.

want to make sure that defence resources are spent in absolutely

:48:19.:48:22.

the right way. We have a government that supposedly is committed to

:48:23.:48:26.

spending 2% of GDP on defence was that they have only managed to meet

:48:27.:48:31.

that target by fiddling the figures to include things like pensions in

:48:32.:48:36.

that spending. Great return to the Trident question? Jeremy Corbyn is

:48:37.:48:43.

saying, and he sets yesterday that the party still having that

:48:44.:48:48.

discussion about whether or not to commit Trident Woods manifesto. The

:48:49.:48:56.

issue of Trident is settled by the Labour Party policy-making forums.

:48:57.:49:00.

It was agreed by Labour conference. And, so, that is the situation. We

:49:01.:49:07.

are committed to Trident renewal. Could you explain then how there is

:49:08.:49:10.

this divergences between the leader and the party policy? I'm not sure

:49:11.:49:16.

that there is. I think that what Jeremy was talking about was a wider

:49:17.:49:20.

defence review. We want to make sure that defence spending is put into

:49:21.:49:24.

all the right areas to meet modern needs for the defence of the realm.

:49:25.:49:29.

We ask another question about what he said, would you authorise killing

:49:30.:49:34.

of the ISIS leader was to Mark Wood that did part of policy, would you

:49:35.:49:39.

do it? I'm not sure that these things are matters for party policy.

:49:40.:49:47.

If I were given some good intelligence then I would make that

:49:48.:49:51.

decision based on the intelligence. But I do not think it is a bad

:49:52.:49:55.

thing. Jeremy Taylor not rule that out, may I point out, I do not think

:49:56.:49:59.

it is about thing to have a leader that could take considered view as

:50:00.:50:03.

to whether there would be civilian children killed in the process. If

:50:04.:50:08.

it were a clear strike on the leader of ices and there were no other

:50:09.:50:13.

casualties they would clearly, my own view is, yes, I would take that

:50:14.:50:18.

decision. You are speaking about defence. With regards to defence,

:50:19.:50:22.

what are you talking about? Are you thinking of more shot waters, more

:50:23.:50:26.

troops? Where would you find this investment? -- more soldiers. What

:50:27.:50:33.

we have seen since 2010 is the old forces cut from over 100,000

:50:34.:50:38.

personnel to fewer than 80,000. What we have seen is money wasted by the

:50:39.:50:44.

scrapping of Nimrod, the scrapping of the Harrier jump jets. We have

:50:45.:50:50.

seen a lot of waste. We think that money could be spent in a smarter

:50:51.:50:55.

way and it is not just about making sure we have enough armed personnel,

:50:56.:50:59.

it is about how we deploy them as well. So that we can get British

:51:00.:51:02.

troops involved in peacekeeping missions around the world. And will

:51:03.:51:07.

you commit to a certain number of armed personnel? We are committed to

:51:08.:51:12.

seeing at least 2% of GDP spent for defence. That is without fiddling

:51:13.:51:18.

the figures in the way that the Conservatives have done. And,

:51:19.:51:22.

clearly, there will be a defence review to decide how that money will

:51:23.:51:26.

be spent. We are entering the second week of what seems to be this

:51:27.:51:30.

campaign. When you are on the doorstep to use a Jeremy Corbyn

:51:31.:51:34.

would be of good Prime Minister for the UK? Is that what you say?

:51:35.:51:39.

Absolutely. I think that under Jeremy Laidler has got a vision for

:51:40.:51:43.

a better, fairer Britain. In Britain that will work for the many and not

:51:44.:51:49.

just a few. On education, on health, on pension, on a whole variety of

:51:50.:51:53.

policy that we have announced that we will be announcing in the days

:51:54.:51:57.

and weeks ahead. I think that people will see that sense of direction

:51:58.:52:02.

under the Labour Party is that we want to change the emphasis from

:52:03.:52:06.

just serving those at the very top to serving the vast majority of

:52:07.:52:10.

people in this country, a government works are the many are not the few.

:52:11.:52:14.

And, briefly, when will the manifesto be ready? It will be ready

:52:15.:52:19.

in early May. We have got a fast track process under the Labour Party

:52:20.:52:26.

constitution, a meeting, a clause five meeting as a technical term,

:52:27.:52:29.

all the interested parties and stakeholders will sit down and fresh

:52:30.:52:35.

:52:36.:52:38.

asking for their priorities because it is crucial that we get party

:52:39.:52:42.

member feedback is world we will have a manifesto in the early weeks

:52:43.:52:43.

of May. 24 your time. You're watching

:52:44.:52:47.

Breakfast from BBC News. Some lively pictures now from one of

:52:48.:52:58.

Britain's most beautiful cathedrals this morning. Saint Davids in

:52:59.:53:03.

Pembrokeshire. It is the smallest city in Britain, bidding to become a

:53:04.:53:10.

city of culture. That honour is currently held by Hull but other

:53:11.:53:13.

places are already bidding for their chance in 2021.

:53:14.:53:17.

Good morning. We are about as far west in Wales as you can get without

:53:18.:53:24.

falling into the Irish Sea. Behind me, this is blended mediaeval

:53:25.:53:28.

gateway is the entrance to the cathedral. Behind it, the city of

:53:29.:53:33.

Saint Davids with a population of 1800. Here is the cathedral

:53:34.:53:36.

dedicated to the patron saint of Wales. What this place BB UK city of

:53:37.:53:42.

culture in 2021? In a moment I will speak to the man behind Saint

:53:43.:53:46.

Davids's did but first I have also been to another of the 11 cities

:53:47.:53:49.

lining up to the accolade. Warrington. George Crombie, famous

:53:50.:54:05.

for his ukelele playing was born here in 1904. The first IKEA opened

:54:06.:54:12.

here in 1987. In 1968 the players was made a new town in the town Hall

:54:13.:54:16.

has some spectacular gates. But culture? In Warrington? Hasn't

:54:17.:54:22.

always been at the forefront of what have been doing? No. Now, they are

:54:23.:54:28.

hoping to change all that. As we transition from the new town to the

:54:29.:54:32.

new city, that city has to have a compelling cultural offer because we

:54:33.:54:35.

know what cities that don't have that end up like. They are

:54:36.:54:42.

abandoned. They do not have vibrancy they are not a magnet of talent and

:54:43.:54:48.

for young people that they ought to be. Warrington's economic lead

:54:49.:54:52.

successful and unemployment is low. But you would not know it, looking

:54:53.:54:57.

at the town centre. This is what they call the cultural quarter. A

:54:58.:55:01.

museum and Lybrand. They say it is the oldest public library in

:55:02.:55:04.

England. A small concert Hall. The Pyramid arts Centre. But it is

:55:05.:55:10.

quiet. The truth is, people here who want theatre or major art galleries

:55:11.:55:15.

go to Liverpool or Manchester. The concert venue was called Parr Hall

:55:16.:55:20.

and outside amid a musician and promoter who said that the live

:55:21.:55:23.

music scene has enjoyed a modest revival lately but could do much

:55:24.:55:28.

better if the town was a city of culture. I have met artist from

:55:29.:55:32.

here, they do not get the opportunities here, you need to go

:55:33.:55:36.

abroad to find them, had to to Manchester, to Liverpool. So there

:55:37.:55:42.

may not be loads of stuff going on but that does not mean that people

:55:43.:55:46.

from Warrington do not have the talent and skill. # last year, Viola

:55:47.:56:00.

Davis were on the cusp of success when they and their manager were

:56:01.:56:03.

killed in a road accident. They came from Warrington. Proof that culture

:56:04.:56:08.

can flourish here alongside the soap works and the trickle Powells. That

:56:09.:56:16.

is Warrington, one of 11 cities bidding. With me now is that Mike,

:56:17.:56:22.

the head of cultural services here in Pembrokeshire. We are quite short

:56:23.:56:27.

time. Why Saint Davids? It is so tiny. Surely it cannot possibly be a

:56:28.:56:31.

city of culture question mark I think it can. It has a unique

:56:32.:56:36.

proposition. We have a world-class coastline behind us, beautiful and

:56:37.:56:40.

amazing magnificent heritage. Just something completely different from

:56:41.:56:43.

all the other cities across the UK. What we offer is going to be

:56:44.:56:47.

transformational, it will be innovative, it will be something

:56:48.:56:50.

that will blow the minds of people and I think everybody needs to get

:56:51.:56:55.

behind us to make that happen. Can I have one big event, one big thing

:56:56.:56:59.

that you hope to achieve that as a city of culture? We will have a huge

:57:00.:57:03.

number of events. The main thing, rather than one thing, the thing is

:57:04.:57:06.

the inclusivity of this programme. Much as things that people think

:57:07.:57:11.

about, theatre, opera, art, culture is for every body. People who

:57:12.:57:14.

skateboarder doing culture, people who watch soap operas is doing

:57:15.:57:18.

culture. There will be a whole range of activities for everyone to get

:57:19.:57:21.

behind. Good luck. 11 cities bidding and yours is one of thumb. Good

:57:22.:57:25.

luck. We will be down there throughout the morning. It is quite

:57:26.:57:26.

lovely down there. Time now to get the news,

:57:27.:57:28.

travel and weather where you are. Temperatures make a slight recovery

two years ago. Our political correspondent,

:06:47.:06:48.

Chris Mason, is in Westminster In some ways it was quite a tough

:06:49.:06:56.

day for Jeremy Corbyn yesterday. Good morning. It was tough. It could

:06:57.:07:01.

write to the heart of the problem for Jeremy Corbyn since he became

:07:02.:07:08.

Labour leader. He has a set of views that are just very, very different

:07:09.:07:14.

from a lot of his MPs. Where it was particularly sticky for him

:07:15.:07:18.

yesterday is when he was pushed on the Andrew Marr Show on BBC One

:07:19.:07:22.

whether or not he would renew the nuclear deterrent of the UK if he

:07:23.:07:26.

was Prime Minister. He has been opposed to it his whole life. He

:07:27.:07:29.

said that policy was still under discussion. The thing is, lots of

:07:30.:07:35.

other Labour types, including frontbenchers, have said no, no, no,

:07:36.:07:41.

it is Labour policy that it will be renewed under a Labour government. A

:07:42.:07:46.

frontbencher was sitting in this very seed a few minutes ago. You

:07:47.:07:49.

will see the political equivalent of gaffer tape being used to take over

the gap between party policy and the leader. The issue of Trident is

:07:54.:08:01.

settled by the Labour Party's policy making conferences. That is the

:08:02.:08:08.

situation. We are committed to Trident renewal. You can be certain

:08:09.:08:13.

that the Conservatives will absolutely hammer Labour on this.

:08:14.:08:19.

Today, and again and again during the campaign. Jeremy Corbyn will try

:08:20.:08:24.

to change the focus. He is in Scotland addressing the Congress. He

:08:25.:08:28.

will talk about the idea of a ?10 minimum wage. Interestingly, the SNP

:08:29.:08:36.

First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, also at the same Congress a little

:08:37.:08:40.

later on, is saying Labour are no longer her big threat in Scotland,

:08:41.:08:44.

instead it is the Conservatives. One poll over the weekend suggested the

:08:45.:08:49.

Conservatives would make a significant gain in Scotland in

to present their plans, but they claim voting rules mean

the General Election. Campaigners say they're trying

to dodge a difficult issue. Our environment analyst,

Roger Harrabin, reports. Britain's filthy air was supposed

:09:54.:10:03.

to have been cleaned up by 2010. But governments found

the task hard and expensive, Until campaigners at the High Court

:10:08.:10:09.

won their case that ministers had a legal duty to protect

:10:10.:10:15.

people from pollution. Today, the 24th of April,

:10:16.:10:24.

was the date stipulated by the judge for the air pollution policy

:10:25.:10:27.

to be published. I have just chaired a meeting

:10:28.:10:29.

of the cabinet where we agreed that the Government should

:10:30.:10:34.

call a general election. Her election announcement,

in breach of election rules. Here's the real reason

:10:40.:10:45.

for the bid to delay, say green campaigners,

dirty diesel cars. And government dithering over

from the air they are breathing.. It is a public health issue,

not a political one. If ministers persuade the judge

:11:12.:11:15.

to delay, any prickly political decisions will come

:11:16.:11:18.

after the election. Over 40,000 runners crossed

:11:19.:11:19.

the London Marathon finish And while a record number

:11:20.:11:22.

of competitors took part in the race, this is the moment

:11:23.:11:26.

everyone is talking about. Matthew Rees stopped his race

:11:27.:11:29.

to help David Wyeth cross The organisers have praised Mr Rees,

:11:30.:11:31.

saying he "encompassed everything that's so special about

:11:32.:11:35.

the London Marathon." We'll be reuniting the duo just

:11:36.:11:37.

after half past seven. I hope you had an amazing day and

:11:38.:12:06.

you are feeling OK. Many people are walking like Thunderbirds this

:12:07.:12:10.

morning. I am sure it was worth it. Loads of money earned for charity.

:12:11.:12:13.

A group of British firms has unveiled plans to test driverless

:12:14.:12:16.

cars on city roads and motorways in the UK, for the first time.

:12:17.:12:20.

The Driven Consortium, backed by government money,

:12:21.:12:22.

intends to try out a fleet of autonomous vehicles

:12:23.:12:24.

So far, trials of driverless vehicles in the UK have mainly taken

:12:25.:12:29.

place at slow speeds and not on public roads.

:12:30.:12:34.

A 12-year-old who was trying to drive across the entire breadth

:12:35.:12:36.

of Australia has been arrested by police.

:12:37.:12:38.

The boy was already 800 miles into his journey when he was pulled

:12:39.:12:42.

over by a routine patrol because the bumper of his vehicle

Police believe he'd planned to keep going all the way to Perth,

:12:47.:12:54.

The minimum driving age in New South Wales

:12:55.:12:58.

I always thought it would take a lot longer than that to drive across

:12:59.:13:06.

Australia. So, he was 12! There are certainly questions about how he

:13:07.:13:09.

managed to do that, really. I am perplexed by that. It has worried

:13:10.:13:15.

you? As he fill up with petrol, where are his parents? Ted Hastings

:13:16.:13:29.

will be with us at 840, by the way. If you have not seen the episode

:13:30.:13:39.

last night, due warning. Spoiler alerts. Era when the lot for me this

:13:40.:13:41.

morning. -- You ruined. France is entering unfamiliar

:13:42.:13:51.

political waters following the first round of their

:13:52.:13:53.

presidential election. Voters rejected traditional parties

:13:54.:13:55.

in favour of two outsiders. Only a few months ago,

:13:56.:13:57.

Emmanuel Macron left government to set up his own

:13:58.:14:00.

political movement. His opponent, Marine Le Pen,

:14:01.:14:01.

is the leader of the far-right We can now speak to the BBC's

:14:02.:14:04.

Karin Giannone, who is in Paris Good morning. There is so much to

:14:05.:14:15.

discuss. Good morning from Paris. France is waking up from some of the

:14:16.:14:20.

political earthquakes they had, although they were predicted. The

:14:21.:14:24.

fact the two main political parties in France that have dominated the

:14:25.:14:28.

scene for more than 50 years have been wiped off the map in the first

:14:29.:14:32.

round of the presidential election. I have two

:14:33.:14:42.

guests. A warm welcome to both of you. How much of a shock to the

:14:43.:14:52.

landscape is this? Less of a shock than you think. For the first time

:14:53.:14:56.

in several years, pollsters got it absolutely right. The likelihood is

:14:57.:15:04.

that Macron will be elected will be a continuation of the previous

:15:05.:15:07.

government where he was a minister. Fewer surprises. Marine Le Pen is

:15:08.:15:15.

doing extremely well. The Socialist Party is dead, which is an

:15:16.:15:18.

interesting thing in itself. There is a resilient force in France for a

:15:19.:15:26.

very Corbynised left-wing. The biggest surprise is probably that

:15:27.:15:32.

the isn't a surprise. You heard Anne Elizabeth saying it will be Emmanuel

:15:33.:15:37.

Macron who wins this. You disagree? Of cost. That is why we have

:15:38.:15:43.

campaigned. I think that last night's results are tremendous,

:15:44.:15:51.

despite the fact that most media in France are backing up Macron. And

:15:52.:15:58.

despite that, Marine Le Pen has done well. We will campaign to show the

:15:59.:16:03.

French citizens why we should vote for her. As the party detoxified its

:16:04.:16:09.

image? We heard accusations even last night of races and intolerance.

:16:10.:16:19.

-- racism. I know there are failures they are trying to hide by using the

:16:20.:16:24.

fear factor in trying to express things like racism, which is not

:16:25.:16:29.

true. Marine Le Pen is in favour of a patriotic France gathering

:16:30.:16:34.

together for a positive future. Macron does not even believe in

:16:35.:16:38.

French culture. Be choice is quite clear. -- the. Why is this so

:16:39.:16:47.

important if you are looking from outside France? Certainly in the UK

:16:48.:16:50.

people are wondering what the difference is between the two

:16:51.:16:51.

candidates. Macron was courageous in that he

:16:52.:17:05.

campaigned on a completely pro- Europe campaign. There were no

:17:06.:17:11.

missed giving is, no buts. That was brave because we felt there was an

:17:12.:17:19.

unbroken narrative. He has now managed to do well in this with a

:17:20.:17:23.

party that he created only one year ago. Waving their flags. That is a

:17:24.:17:34.

change. Before Brexit it was a bit different because with the

:17:35.:17:40.

government and everything, the notion of punishing Britain and not

:17:41.:17:45.

allowing Britain to get away with not playing by the rules and still

:17:46.:17:49.

getting exactly, is the same thing as when she was a member of the EU,

:17:50.:17:59.

that has been Macron's line as well. We have 13 days until it all happens

:18:00.:18:03.

all over again when those two candidates will be reduced to one on

:18:04.:18:17.

May seven. Thank you very much. It is not easy to do. Beautiful skies

:18:18.:18:21.

in central London this morning. Isn't that lovely? We will be live

:18:22.:18:26.

there in 30 minutes. We have to marathon runners, one who helped the

:18:27.:18:29.

other over the line. What a beautiful day that is. It looks

:18:30.:18:32.

gorgeous, doesn't it? Carol has a big coat a warning for us. Hello,

:18:33.:18:40.

Carol. Good morning to you both. You are quite right. It is beautiful

:18:41.:18:43.

currently in London with temperatures at seven or eight

:18:44.:18:46.

Celsius but chilly elsewhere in the country with frost and wintry

:18:47.:18:51.

showers are in the forecast. It snows across four of northern

:18:52.:18:56.

Scotland. A few fronts moving south behind those we pull in this cold

:18:57.:19:01.

Arctic air it has crossed the northern half a country already and

:19:02.:19:05.

it will get across all areas by the time we get to midnight. We have two

:19:06.:19:11.

distinctive bands of patchy rain and another one of snow. Both across

:19:12.:19:17.

northern England, Wales and the Midlands, East Anglia heading south

:19:18.:19:19.

but for Southern counties there are some sunshine around first thing

:19:20.:19:22.

this morning. The cloud will continue to build from the

:19:23.:19:26.

north-west. A little patchy rain across Wales into the Midlands, East

:19:27.:19:30.

Anglia but it is patchy. The other band across northern England and

:19:31.:19:33.

also Northern Ireland are both heading south so brightening up

:19:34.:19:37.

behind both but it is cold across Scotland, the of Ireland first thing

:19:38.:19:41.

in many have the snow showers across the north, even at low levels. The

:19:42.:19:45.

other feature of the weather today is that the wind is going to

:19:46.:19:48.

strengthen, particularly so where you are exposed wood across north.

:19:49.:19:53.

It will touch powerful. But it is coming from a cool direction so that

:19:54.:19:56.

will really accentuate the cold feel. And through the day we will

:19:57.:20:00.

see some of the showers just moved east coast of Scotland into the far

:20:01.:20:03.

north-east of England. Those ones, again, they will have a wintry mix

:20:04.:20:07.

in them, perhaps some snow, mostly in the hills but a mixture of sleet

:20:08.:20:13.

and hail as well. Meanwhile, our rain band continues to push south

:20:14.:20:16.

into southern England defender broken up this question at cloud

:20:17.:20:20.

will build. Here we hang on to high temperatures with the cold air

:20:21.:20:23.

filtering down and will continue to do so behind this band of rain as we

:20:24.:20:27.

head into the evening and overnight. Under clear skies were looking at

:20:28.:20:31.

widespread frost. Snow continues in the north, we dry south, from

:20:32.:20:35.

showers across the north of Ireland in eastern parts of England and also

:20:36.:20:39.

north Wales as well. So watch out for ice on services first thing in

:20:40.:20:43.

the morning. After the cold start there will be a lot of sunshine and

:20:44.:20:48.

wintry and is coming out of showers. Almost anywhere but, the thing is

:20:49.:20:52.

with showers, not all of us will catch them and it is going to feel

:20:53.:20:56.

cold as we go through the day tomorrow with temperatures between

:20:57.:21:01.

about six and 11 degrees. As we head on into Wednesday we will still have

:21:02.:21:04.

some wintry showers coming out of the showers but a lot of them will

:21:05.:21:09.

be rain and, really, this is the last day for very cold conditions

:21:10.:21:12.

because as we head into the second part of the week and into the

:21:13.:21:16.

weekend, the temperature will slowly start to come back. So you'll be

:21:17.:21:19.

able to put away your big winter coat again by the time we go to the

:21:20.:21:24.

weekend. That is very good to know. I know you're excited, Carol. I

:21:25.:21:32.

cannot wait and a good listen to them talking all day. I'm sure he

:21:33.:21:40.

would you a wee girl. If he calls me fell on BBC breakfast, that will be

:21:41.:21:41.

the highlight of my entire career. Let's get the latest

:21:42.:21:45.

business news now - Steph's talking house prices

:21:46.:21:47.

and currency this morning... Good morning, fella. Nice to see

:21:48.:21:59.

you. Let me tell you what is going on. The data from one of the biggest

:22:00.:22:05.

property website says the average asking price of houses are at a

:22:06.:22:10.

record ?313,000. That is up 2.2% compared to last year but it is

:22:11.:22:14.

actually the slowest growth of four year with finesse. It is obviously

:22:15.:22:18.

not just what people are asking it is also what people are paying those

:22:19.:22:24.

that statistic show that on the whole, how is prices are growing at

:22:25.:22:28.

half the race they were last summer. There has been movement on the

:22:29.:22:32.

currency market as well. This is off the back of the French presidential

:22:33.:22:35.

election. Of course, that was all coming in overnight from the first

:22:36.:22:39.

round and the value of the euro is actually... Excuse me, I have a

:22:40.:22:42.

cough at the moment. I keep coughing. It is a five month high

:22:43.:22:46.

against the dollar. It rose against the pound as well so this morning

:22:47.:22:51.

the euro was... You may have to jump in and help me. I will give you an

:22:52.:22:57.

update on how the stock market is doing when they open. This is a

:22:58.:23:03.

clear classic sign of how you know when you first delight you have

:23:04.:23:07.

grown up. You may be other legally vote drink alcohol at 18 but

:23:08.:23:11.

research from nationwide says it is not until the age of 27 that you

:23:12.:23:14.

feel grown up. I was asking myself this earlier, what made you feel

:23:15.:23:20.

grown-up? For me, I felt it when I purchased toilet paper. It did not

:23:21.:23:26.

just appear in your house. Probably when I had to buy and I'm pants. You

:23:27.:23:30.

rely on your parents to purchase them full I'm not sure... I often

:23:31.:23:35.

don't feel like a grown up. That is a good point. Even though I am

:23:36.:23:41.

obviously I am. I need to go rescue myself now. Well done. She's

:23:42.:23:44.

soldiered on. Gen 723 this morning. The Calais was home to migrants

:23:45.:23:58.

looking for a route into the UK. Six months ago it was shut down on the

:23:59.:24:02.

authorities say there are only 100 migrants still in the French pork.

:24:03.:24:05.

The new report seen exclusively by this programme puts the figure at

:24:06.:24:12.

four time with finesse that. Our breakfast reporter has been to

:24:13.:24:16.

northern France to see the impact of the closure of the camp.

:24:17.:24:17.

Six months after the jungle closed, the centre of Calais

:24:18.:24:20.

The port, so long a destination for migrants is now

:24:21.:24:28.

Before we had 8000 migrants per month that we would discover,

:24:29.:24:46.

The Jungle was home to some 10,000 migrants.

:24:47.:24:50.

It came to be seen by the authorities

:24:51.:24:54.

as a magnet for people wanting to get to Britain.

:24:55.:24:57.

When he crosses the border into France,

:24:58.:25:12.

Although it is safe getting in and out of France

:25:13.:25:18.

the problem now is that you do not feel safe in more areas of France.

:25:19.:25:23.

On the corner of an industrial estate in Calais, a nightly ritual

:25:24.:25:31.

Charities hand out food and clothes to migrants.

:25:32.:25:35.

Most teenagers without their parents, like this 15-year-old

:25:36.:25:37.

Why do you not stay here and claim asylum here in France?

:25:38.:25:53.

The report out today from the refugee

:25:54.:26:08.

Project says there are about 400 migrants in Calais today,

:26:09.:26:10.

Public opinion has hardened for all forms

:26:11.:26:16.

Public opinion has hardened for all forms of migration

:26:17.:26:24.

but Michael McHugh from the refugee youth service says

:26:25.:26:26.

a genuine asylum claims must be heard.

:26:27.:26:28.

It is not about what people want or do not want.

:26:29.:26:31.

We have tens of thousands of children's moving

:26:32.:26:33.

There is a legal right for many of these children to go

:26:34.:26:37.

30 minutes from Calais, this is what is left of another

:26:38.:26:41.

It burnt down after a fight between rival groups

:26:42.:26:44.

This is where many migrants came when the Jungle

:26:45.:26:48.

The French government had plans in place to dismantle the camp

:26:49.:26:51.

The government wants to pretend that the problem does not

:26:52.:26:55.

exist and their strategy is to destroy the places

:26:56.:26:57.

thinking that if we destroy their places and they have no places

:26:58.:27:01.

The French determined another account will not be established.

:27:02.:27:09.

The problem here has been alleviated but

:27:10.:27:13.

As the weather improves, thousands of migrants are already

:27:14.:27:17.

on the move across the Middle East and

:27:18.:27:20.

Many will make it here in the hope of getting to the UK.

:27:21.:27:34.

Fascinating stuff. Coming up in a few minutes time, the picture from

:27:35.:27:40.

the London marathon of those two men helping each other across the line.

:27:41.:27:44.

We will speak to the pair of them. They will hear here in ten minutes.

We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment.

:31:18.:31:21.

It's the image that defined the London Marathon,

:31:22.:31:27.

the moment a selfless runner gave up his race time to help another

:31:28.:31:30.

We'll speak to the pair, reunited for the first time

:31:31.:31:35.

Also this morning, it's being billed as the candidate of hope

:31:36.:31:41.

As two outsiders are chosen to go head to head in the French

:31:42.:31:45.

presidential election, we'll have the latest

In the last half-hour, police say they have arrested a man who killed

continue with the sporting theme. First of all, congratulations to the

:38:40.:38:43.

40,000 people that did the marathon yesterday. Well done. I hope you

:38:44.:38:47.

feel OK this morning. But there was one picture through

:38:48.:38:57.

all of the tears that summed it all up. These pictures are amazing.

:38:58.:39:02.

It's the unforgettable moment from this year's London Marathon,

:39:03.:39:04.

an exhausted runner being helped across the finish line

:39:05.:39:07.

Matthew Rees sacrificed his own race to half push,

:39:08.:39:10.

half pull David Wyeth up The Mall to the finish line.

:39:11.:39:13.

We'll be reuniting the two in a moment for the first time

:39:14.:39:17.

But first let's have a look at the incredible effort

:39:18.:39:20.

This is so hard. Every single part of his body is shutting down. We are

:39:21.:39:26.

seeing the camaraderie of the marathon and the spirit. All of

:39:27.:39:30.

these people want to break there time. They are still stopping to

:39:31.:39:33.

help him. Incredible scenes. 175 metres down. The Royals have joined.

:39:34.:39:37.

You can see Prince William and Prince Harry looking out in

:39:38.:39:42.

disbelief at what they are seeing. The camaraderie, which is what it is

:39:43.:39:47.

all about. They are sacrificing what could be a PB. Who knows? They are

:39:48.:39:55.

trying to get them over the line. James, I know you have just run your

:39:56.:39:59.

own fantastic race, but when you see that, that kind of sums up, doesn't

:40:00.:40:08.

it, what it is all about. It shows the selfless nature of the runners.

:40:09.:40:11.

I saw the same kind of thing happening when I went past.

:40:12.:40:13.

Joining us now from Tower Bridge in London are the reunited runners,

:40:14.:40:17.

Thank you, both, so much for joining us. What an amazing thing. Both of

:40:18.:40:27.

you look well. But, David, you did not look well yesterday. How are you

:40:28.:40:33.

feeling? I did not, did I? I feel great. Thank you so much for asking.

:40:34.:40:37.

I feel recovered, but a little bit sore. Tell us about that moment when

:40:38.:40:43.

you first caught sight of David. Did you immediately think I have to help

:40:44.:40:48.

him? What kind of state was he in? I took the final corner ready to

:40:49.:40:52.

sprint the final couple of metres. Then I saw David and his legs

:40:53.:40:57.

completely collapse beneath him. I thought I need to help this guy and

:40:58.:41:02.

he needs to get to the finish. 26 miles, the finish is just there. It

:41:03.:41:06.

was important we get to the end and cross together. It is a beautiful

:41:07.:41:10.

image. I know you have been saying that anyone would have done it. I

:41:11.:41:14.

think many people this morning contacted are saying they would not

:41:15.:41:21.

have done it, and some said that you did it, and that is the point. It is

:41:22.:41:28.

great if I have inspired anyone. I think anyone would have done the

:41:29.:41:32.

same thing. Is not me, the next runner. It is just about being human

:41:33.:41:36.

and seeing someone struggling and helping them out. Tell us, what were

:41:37.:41:42.

you saying to David? We can see you quite clearly chatting. What were

:41:43.:41:47.

you saying? It looks like I was quite angry. I was trying to

:41:48.:41:51.

motivate him. I was saying the finish is right there, we will

:41:52.:41:56.

finish, you can do it. I just wanted him to get to the end. David, give

:41:57.:42:02.

us an idea of what you were going through. Sorry, carry on. He said I

:42:03.:42:09.

am determined to get there. That is the problem. I was so determined

:42:10.:42:14.

that I got the idea we were going to make it happen. Many people here

:42:15.:42:23.

either have run a marathon, and they will know that three hours is a lot,

:42:24.:42:28.

they will know the feeling of giving up in your body. Could you even hear

:42:29.:42:32.

what he was saying to you? My head was clear enough for the

:42:33.:42:36.

conversation. What was going through my head was, don't you stop, you

:42:37.:42:41.

need to keep going. This is kind of my problem. In fact, when the

:42:42.:42:46.

volunteer came over, you know, I was still really keen. He just dropped

:42:47.:42:52.

me and got a good time. Obviously, we had never met, so I did not know

:42:53.:42:57.

his circumstances as well. As you mentioned earlier, he could well

:42:58.:43:02.

have been on for a personal best. I did not know that. I was frustrated

:43:03.:43:07.

he was giving up his race. I know how important it is. Many people

:43:08.:43:12.

want to know, did you get a PB, were you on for one? What happened? No.

:43:13.:43:18.

Early on in the race my calf seized up and I was in pain. Most of the

:43:19.:43:23.

race for me was I need to finish and that is my accomplishment,

:43:24.:43:28.

finishing. When I saw David struggling, it was the same thing

:43:29.:43:32.

for him. He needed to make it. It seemed the perfect ending for my

:43:33.:43:36.

race to help him across. And yet he was telling me to go on, but I just

:43:37.:43:41.

wanted to make sure he did get to the finish line and was not taken to

:43:42.:43:48.

the side. I am so grateful. Yes. I can't say how grateful I am because

:43:49.:43:53.

you say that, Matthew, that others would have stopped. I am sure they

:43:54.:43:59.

would have been others. But you persisted. I told you to go and you

:44:00.:44:09.

did not. Such a gentleman. You are making me cry, the terror of you. A

:44:10.:44:15.

great day for Swansea as well. Have you had a drink yet? Will he remain

:44:16.:44:21.

in touch? What is going to happen? We will definitely stay in touch. We

:44:22.:44:24.

have been through something incredible together. A marathon I

:44:25.:44:29.

will never forget. It does sum up the running community as well. We

:44:30.:44:34.

are really pleased you have seen this. It got caught on the cameras.

:44:35.:44:38.

This stuff happens all over the place in races up and down the

:44:39.:44:43.

country. And I am grateful that he demonstrated what it is like. I have

:44:44.:44:52.

had references and people say that we were rivals. We were not rivals.

:44:53.:45:01.

I am pleased everyone saw that. A beautiful story. I am afraid we lost

:45:02.:45:07.

a bit of the line there right at the end. How incredible. That is what it

:45:08.:45:14.

is all about. That is very much the running community.

:45:15.:46:15.

a couple of fronts heading south and behind the cold air is streaming in.

:46:16.:46:29.

If you are in the wind, it will feel bitter. We have the wintry nurse at

:46:30.:46:36.

moment, snow to low levels. There is a band of rain sinking south across

:46:37.:46:40.

the south of England at the moment with sunshine but the cloud will

:46:41.:46:44.

build as we go through the course of the morning. Behind that, however,

:46:45.:46:49.

darker skies. Still more snow to come through the course of the day,

:46:50.:46:52.

eastern Scotland into the north-east of England we are looking at wintry

:46:53.:46:56.

showers in the very nature suggests that we will see them. The two

:46:57.:47:05.

fronts heading south will be down towards the Isle of Wight and over

:47:06.:47:09.

towards the south-west of England and south Wales. The rain on them

:47:10.:47:13.

will be fairly patchy but the cloud will be far noticeable than this

:47:14.:47:18.

morning. As we push into north Wales, it will begin to brighten up.

:47:19.:47:25.

Across Northern Ireland you could see some winter in a few of the

:47:26.:47:30.

showers but mostly on the hills. In the evening and are tonight it is

:47:31.:47:34.

still windy with snow falling across northern and central parts of

:47:35.:47:38.

Scotland and the east coast we could also see some wintry and is in good

:47:39.:47:42.

season wintry sun showers across Northern Ireland and north Wales for

:47:43.:47:46.

a time. There will be dry weather and clear skies so there will be

:47:47.:47:49.

frost and there will also be the risk of ice on untreated surfaces.

:47:50.:47:54.

It is all happening. Tomorrow we start off on a cold note that there

:47:55.:47:58.

will be sunshine. A plethora showers, some wintry, and some

:47:59.:48:06.

falling as sleet and hail with the risk of Thunder and lightning. In

:48:07.:48:09.

between we will see some sunshine. It will still feel quite raw,

:48:10.:48:15.

particularly in the north. On Wednesday, while we have some rain,

:48:16.:48:22.

still nothing substantial. Patchy in nature, more rain coming in across

:48:23.:48:26.

the north and north-west in between bright skies and then as we head

:48:27.:48:30.

into the second part of the weekend, that a richer once again will start

:48:31.:48:34.

to pick up. Until then, get your winter woollies out because you will

:48:35.:48:43.

need them. I am still... Act here mode. An emotional high after

:48:44.:48:50.

listening to those runners. That is the sort of thing, if you need

:48:51.:48:55.

motivation then hopefully... Hopefully they have raised your pep

:48:56.:49:03.

this morning. Steph, Steph, can we talk about the housing market? I

:49:04.:49:08.

don't know if that would help but let's give it a go.

:49:09.:49:10.

This is data from one of the biggest property websites Rightmove

:49:11.:49:13.

who say that average asking prices are at a record of ?313,000.

:49:14.:49:16.

That's up 2.2% compared to last year.

:49:17.:49:18.

And is the slowest growth in asking prices for four years.

:49:19.:49:21.

Also, it's obviously not just about what people are asking,

:49:22.:49:24.

And house prices are growing at half the rate since last summer

:49:25.:49:31.

Rising inflation is hitting our pockets too -

:49:32.:49:34.

which could put pressure on the market.

:49:35.:49:41.

I'm joined now by Jodie. Jodie, it is about how buyers and sellers are

:49:42.:49:51.

feeling about the economy when it comes to what is happening in the

:49:52.:49:55.

market. Or is a change in confidence at the moment so it talks about the

:49:56.:49:58.

house price research and house prices are still growing but they

:49:59.:50:03.

are growing to a much lower rate than we have seen before. There is

:50:04.:50:07.

some disparity across the country in that as well. So what we're seeing

:50:08.:50:10.

is slowing down in the growth of house prices and we have also

:50:11.:50:14.

recently seen a reversal in the trend in terms of retail sales and a

:50:15.:50:17.

quarter on quarter decline. Interesting, isn't it? A bit of a

:50:18.:50:22.

surprise. We are an economy driven by consumer spending so when we feel

:50:23.:50:29.

rates is -- when we see retail sales take a hit that is a concern.

:50:30.:50:32.

Exactly. The economy is fuelled by the consumer over the last two or

:50:33.:50:36.

three years and, in particular, in the last nine months. There have

:50:37.:50:42.

been no let up in spending. I think, however, in terms of surprise, not

:50:43.:50:46.

necessarily inflation is starting to bite, it is inflation over 2% now

:50:47.:50:50.

and it is really starting to hit the consumer. And inflation, of course,

:50:51.:50:54.

is the rise in the cost of living and that is been changing because of

:50:55.:50:58.

what has been going on politically. So... Can you explain that? We see

:50:59.:51:03.

inflation driving up prices, driving up commodity prices and the impact

:51:04.:51:09.

of the deep valuation of sterling means it costs us more to purchase

:51:10.:51:13.

things which therefore hits our disposable income and hits our

:51:14.:51:17.

discretionary spend. We are not the only economy that sees its was the

:51:18.:51:23.

devaluation is an important factor, other economies also suffer at the

:51:24.:51:27.

moment. And what is the general election normally different economy?

:51:28.:51:30.

I was a surprise when that was announced. Definitely a surprise. In

:51:31.:51:35.

terms of a snap election. It is very different, however, to a normal

:51:36.:51:38.

election. Just 45 days away now so it really is what it says on the

:51:39.:51:44.

tin. There is still a risk of destruction when people talking

:51:45.:51:48.

about the election and all of the politics go around it. However, it

:51:49.:51:52.

is a much lower level than we normally see on the impact of will

:51:53.:52:01.

have a bigger effect on retail. At least it is not long to go until the

:52:02.:52:05.

election. It saves us having to discuss it too often. Thank you very

:52:06.:52:08.

much, Steph. It's Britain's smallest city

:52:09.:52:15.

and is bidding for the chance That honour is currently held

:52:16.:52:19.

by Hull but already towns and cities are lining up for their chance

:52:20.:52:24.

of winning the accolade in 2021. Good morning, Nick. Looking lovely

:52:25.:52:39.

here and you can hear the bells of the cathedral here timing as they

:52:40.:52:42.

summon people to morning service. This is, as you say, the smallest

:52:43.:52:48.

city in written, a population of 1800, no more than a large village

:52:49.:52:53.

but it has ambition. It is one of the 11 places bidding to become the

:52:54.:52:57.

UK city of culture in 20 to anyone. But find out what it has too far.

:52:58.:53:01.

Paul runs hotels here in the city. Make your pitch. Why then David?

:53:02.:53:07.

There is something special here. We punch above our weight in terms of

:53:08.:53:11.

culture. We have something special in our landscape, not merely the

:53:12.:53:18.

cathedral and Art galleries, we are the art capital of Wales, but also

:53:19.:53:22.

the landscape. We are preserved by the National Park nearby so the

:53:23.:53:28.

opportunity for the government is to offer the offer from regeneration

:53:29.:53:35.

and community support as opposed to just an urban city. All the talk

:53:36.:53:41.

about the surrounding area as well, surely you have not got, have you,

:53:42.:53:46.

enough cloud here or in a free sources to mount a serious bid?

:53:47.:53:50.

Absolutely. We already host major events like a cliff diving

:53:51.:53:54.

championship, iron man, major events come here. We have a major festival

:53:55.:53:59.

of the cathedral every year. An international music festival takes

:54:00.:54:04.

place. And it involves the whole region. An amazing cultural artistic

:54:05.:54:11.

community. We have events going throughout all the year and we have

:54:12.:54:15.

the capacity to take more visitors here. Cornwall has 12 times more

:54:16.:54:20.

visitors than us. Our infrastructure is better than Cornwall and we are

:54:21.:54:24.

more accessible and the potential here needs to be filled. You are

:54:25.:54:28.

doing quite well here. It is a lovely spot with a vigorous tourist

:54:29.:54:32.

it more that really... The boost to being city of culture but that would

:54:37.:54:40.

bring, it would make a tremendous difference. Would make a difference

:54:41.:54:45.

here? This is a small community. The meeting we have here is tourism and

:54:46.:54:49.

farming in most of the farmers have to diversify into tourism and there

:54:50.:54:54.

are underprivileged backgrounds and community see the really benefit

:54:55.:54:57.

from regeneration. It keeps people here in Pembrokeshire, inspires them

:54:58.:55:03.

to inspire a career in hospitality instead of going outside the county

:55:04.:55:07.

to work in a big city. There is so much... And it is the C. This will

help generations here for years to come. -- it is the legacy. 11 cities

civilisation in danger. In Bastille Square in Paris, some left-wing

:03:56.:03:57.

protesters faced off against the police. These demonstrators were

:03:58.:04:02.

angered by the results of this vote. They and the rest of the country

:04:03.:04:05.

will have the final say in two weeks' time.

:04:06.:04:09.

Let's speak now to our Paris Correspondent, Hugh Schofield.

:04:10.:04:15.

Does Marine Le Pen have any chance of winning the next round?

:04:16.:04:23.

There is no doubt that Emmanuel Macron is the clear favourite for

:04:24.:04:28.

the second round in two weeks' time, but this is not going to be a rerun

:04:29.:04:35.

of 2002. That year, Marine Le Pen's Father John Marine Le Pen got a big

:04:36.:04:39.

shock breakthrough into the second round and round against Jacques

:04:40.:04:44.

Chirac, but he was wiped out in round two. He barely moved from his

:04:45.:04:48.

ratings in the first round. This time, Marine Le Pen will be able to

:04:49.:04:53.

build on her first-round score. We expect her to go a certain amount

:04:54.:04:56.

because she is going to turn the second round into a big debate not

:04:57.:05:05.

on the right divide, but on the nation versus Europe and nation

:05:06.:05:08.

versus globalisation divide. She will pick up votes from the

:05:09.:05:13.

centre-right candidate, but also from people who voted for the far

:05:14.:05:18.

left. We can expect her vote to go up, but it is unlikely it will go up

:05:19.:05:24.

enough to beat Emmanuel Macron. We will be back in Paris later in the

:05:25.:05:26.

programme. Jeremy Corbyn is promising to repeal

:05:27.:05:28.

what he calls "vicious" trade union legislation brought

:05:29.:05:30.

in by the Conservatives The Labour leader is

:05:31.:05:32.

making his first campaign visit to Scotland today,

:05:33.:05:35.

where his party is trying to claw back support after huge losses

:05:36.:05:38.

in the election two years ago. Our political correspondent

:05:39.:05:43.

Chris Mason is here. I said our political mason! Are you

:05:44.:06:02.

a mason?! Sorry, our political correspondent joins us. A tough day

:06:03.:06:06.

for Mr Corbyn yesterday? There are still six weeks to go, so assemble

:06:07.:06:13.

those words in the right order! Jeremy Corbyn had a tough time

:06:14.:06:19.

yesterday. The essence of it was the challenge has faced since he has

:06:20.:06:22.

been Labour leader and also why he won the Labour leadership in the

:06:23.:06:25.

first place, which is that he is very different in his political

:06:26.:06:29.

instinct and outlook and policies from lots of other Labour MPs. The

:06:30.:06:33.

tricky thing yesterday was that he was articulating something which was

:06:34.:06:36.

different from what we are now told us established party policy. He said

:06:37.:06:40.

the party were having a discussion as to whether they would back the

:06:41.:06:44.

renewal of the UK's nuclear deterrent. Jeremy Corbyn has been a

:06:45.:06:48.

long-standing campaigner to get rid of it. The party then put out a

:06:49.:06:53.

statement saying it would say in its manifesto, its bundle of promises,

:06:54.:06:57.

that it would commit to renewing Trident. The party has had to

:06:58.:07:01.

effectively get the gaffer tape out and stick it across the big gap

:07:02.:07:05.

between what Jeremy Corbyn is saying and what lots of MPs would like him

:07:06.:07:10.

to say. Today, he heads to Scotland to try and change the topic. The

:07:11.:07:15.

Scottish National Party, incidentally, will say the real

:07:16.:07:17.

threat to them is not Labour, but the Conservatives. Chris Mason, I

:07:18.:07:24.

shall say it very carefully from now on! Thank you very much.

:07:25.:07:30.

In the last hour, police say they've arrested a man in connection

:07:31.:07:33.

with the murder of a former naval officer who was killed after

:07:34.:07:36.

confronting intruders who broke into his home in Manchester.

:07:37.:07:38.

Michael Samwell died after thieves ran him over with his own car.

:07:39.:07:41.

How did a disturbance at a house in the early hours end

:07:42.:07:45.

Michael Samwell and his wife were woken up by a loud noise,

:07:46.:07:50.

and the former Royal Naval Officer went downstairs to have a look.

:07:51.:07:53.

The exact sequence of events that followed is not clear,

:07:54.:07:58.

but outside, now cordoned off, the 35-year-old was run over

:07:59.:08:00.

He was taken to hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

:08:01.:08:09.

The vehicle was found abandoned a few miles away.

:08:10.:08:12.

You hear a noise downstairs and you go and see what it is.

:08:13.:08:18.

It is incredibly tragic that he has lost his life.

:08:19.:08:21.

This is described as a quiet corner of Manchester.

:08:22.:08:23.

And gathered in silence, people came to pay their respects,

:08:24.:08:26.

I am a bit shaken up because obviously it is close to my house.

:08:27.:08:48.

One theory is they did break in simply to get

:08:49.:08:51.

If that is the case, it's led to a far more serious enquiry.

:08:52.:08:58.

Tougher punishments for the most serious cases of speeding have come

:08:59.:09:00.

into force in England and Wales today.

:09:01.:09:03.

Drivers can now be fined one and a half times their weekly

:09:04.:09:06.

that means driving over 50 miles an hour in a 30 zone or

:09:07.:09:10.

The Government will go to the High Court to try to delay

:09:11.:09:15.

publishing its strategy for tackling air pollution.

:09:16.:09:19.

Today was the deadline for ministers to present their plans,

:09:20.:09:21.

but they claim voting rules mean they can't publish

:09:22.:09:24.

sensitive policies before the general election.

:09:25.:09:27.

Campaigners say they're trying to dodge a difficult issue.

:09:28.:09:36.

Over 40,000 runners crossed the London Marathon

:09:37.:09:37.

And while a record number of competitors took part

:09:38.:09:43.

in the race, this is the moment everyone is talking about.

:09:44.:09:47.

Matthew Rees stopped his race to help David Wyeth

:09:48.:09:48.

The organisers have praised Mr Rees, saying he "encompassed

:09:49.:09:55.

everything that's so special about the London Marathon".

:09:56.:09:59.

Earlier, they told BBC Breakfast they had become friends overnight.

:10:00.:10:04.

We will definitely stay in touch. We have been through something

:10:05.:10:10.

incredible together, and a marathon I will never forget. And it does sum

:10:11.:10:16.

up the running community as well. We are pleased that you have seen this.

:10:17.:10:21.

It got caught on camera, but this stuff happens all over the place in

:10:22.:10:25.

races up and down the country. I am grateful to Matthew, and he

:10:26.:10:31.

demonstrated what it is like. I have heard references to a running rival.

:10:32.:10:37.

We are not rivals on that day. Where are all in it together.

:10:38.:10:43.

That explains why so many people take part in sport, because of the

:10:44.:10:49.

camaraderie. It is not just runners, it is so many different athletes of

:10:50.:10:53.

different sports. It is moments like that.

:10:54.:10:55.

Theresa May's so-called gamble in calling an early general election

:10:56.:10:58.

looks to some like a wager she can't lose.

:10:59.:11:01.

But to win an increased majority, she needs to avoid two things -

:11:02.:11:04.

and Labour resilience despite the opinion polls.

:11:05.:11:09.

Jeremy Corbyn has said he would review "all aspects"

:11:10.:11:11.

including Britain's Trident nuclear deterrent.

:11:12.:11:14.

is the Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon.

:11:15.:11:25.

With the situation Labour find themselves in over Trident, I know

:11:26.:11:30.

they have given you a free hit over the last 48 hours, but don't you

:11:31.:11:34.

yourselves as a party have questions the answer over seven years of

:11:35.:11:40.

defence cuts? For example, on the number of troops, there was a

:11:41.:11:43.

promising 2010 that it wouldn't go below 82,000, and it has. It is just

:11:44.:11:51.

below 82,000 at the moment. But it is either a promise or it is not. It

:11:52.:11:56.

was a promise in the manifesto, but the defence budget is rising again

:11:57.:12:00.

now. It has been rising for the last couple of years. It is programmed to

:12:01.:12:04.

rise each year of this Parliament. Or are adding strength to the Royal

:12:05.:12:11.

Navy, we are increasing the Royal Air Force and we are investing in

:12:12.:12:14.

the air planes to fly off the carriers, the frigates, the

:12:15.:12:16.

submarines and the new equipment that our Armed Forces need. So we

:12:17.:12:20.

are getting bigger defence. While the Conservatives are asking Labour

:12:21.:12:24.

for clarity on defence, can we ask you about clarity on the

:12:25.:12:29.

conservatives' tax policy? Is there going to be a party pledge about not

:12:30.:12:35.

putting up income tax, VAT and national insurance? It at the

:12:36.:12:38.

moment, your party are being a bit woolly on this. You will see the

:12:39.:12:42.

manifesto in a couple of weeks' time that will set out our policy in all

:12:43.:12:48.

these areas, defence, tax, the NHS and everything else. On tax, we are

:12:49.:12:54.

the lower tax party. It is Labour governments that put up tax. We have

:12:55.:12:59.

cut tax, particularly for people on the lowest earnings. We have taken 4

:13:00.:13:02.

million people out of tax altogether. This month, we have

:13:03.:13:07.

increased the personal tax allowance to ?11,500. All our instincts are to

:13:08.:13:13.

get tax as low as possible so that people on the lowest incomes can

:13:14.:13:19.

keep more of what they earn. But you can't take Labour that they are not

:13:20.:13:23.

being clear on Trident and then given unclear answer on your tax

:13:24.:13:30.

policy. Jeremy Corbyn made it clear yesterday that he doesn't support

:13:31.:13:34.

the nuclear deterrent. He is not even prepared to authorise RAF

:13:35.:13:38.

strikes against terrorists. He has queried our Nato deployments, and he

:13:39.:13:44.

is not prepared to tackle immigration. So Labour are putting

:13:45.:13:49.

themselves as a risk to the security of this country, in contrast to the

:13:50.:13:52.

strong and stable leadership that Theresa May and the Conservatives

:13:53.:13:57.

are offering. Forgive me, but the question was about your tax policy.

:13:58.:14:01.

You will see our tax policy in the manifesto, but you can also see what

:14:02.:14:06.

we have done in government. We have taken people out of tax altogether

:14:07.:14:10.

for the lowest paid. We have increased the personal tax allowance

:14:11.:14:13.

and we are the party of low taxation. Yesterday, you promised to

:14:14.:14:19.

cap energy prices for two thirds of British households. Isn't that a

:14:20.:14:21.

Labour policy that you have fiddled with and adopted as your own? No, we

:14:22.:14:26.

have always wanted to make sure that markets work better for working

:14:27.:14:32.

families faced with large bills. We have seen large, arbitrary increases

:14:33.:14:39.

from the big six energy companies. Again, when you see the manifesto,

:14:40.:14:44.

we will be putting out proposals that will protect people against

:14:45.:14:47.

sudden and large increases in their energy bills to make sure that

:14:48.:14:53.

markets work better for consumers. But when a similar policy by Labour

:14:54.:14:58.

was suggested, you were the energy minister in opposition and you said"

:14:59.:15:02.

the idea from Labour would freeze new investment and increase the risk

:15:03.:15:07.

of the lights going out". What has changed? Well, they were proposing a

:15:08.:15:11.

freeze. We are not proposing a freeze because that means people

:15:12.:15:17.

would not benefit when prices fall. That would have been dangerous and

:15:18.:15:26.

costly. Energy is already highly regulated, and we will be proposing

:15:27.:15:31.

that there should be the power to make sure people are protected

:15:32.:15:35.

against very large increases, and you will see those proposals in

:15:36.:15:38.

detail when the manifesto is published. They are very different

:15:39.:15:41.

from the damaging freeze that label wanted a few years ago.

:15:42.:15:47.

There is one important issue which people have been raising ever since

:15:48.:15:58.

Theresa May announced the general election of and that's apathy and

:15:59.:16:03.

people who maybe voting on 8th June don't want another general election.

:16:04.:16:06.

This is what they don't want. There has been so many polls and votes,

:16:07.:16:09.

they don't want to be involved in this again? Well, it is important

:16:10.:16:13.

that we have stability for the next five years and we have an effective

:16:14.:16:17.

majority to secure a successful exit from the European Union. That's what

:16:18.:16:22.

people voted for last year and one of the biggest turn-outs we have

:16:23.:16:25.

ever had and people want to make sure that we have a successful exit

:16:26.:16:31.

that preserves economic co-operation and trade with Europe, the security

:16:32.:16:36.

co-operation we already have with Europe and we do so in a way that

:16:37.:16:40.

protects vital British interests. You can't do that unless you have a

:16:41.:16:43.

strong working majority in Parliament and that is what we are

:16:44.:16:49.

now campaigning for over the next six weeks you will see the Prime

:16:50.:16:52.

Minister and the rest of us out around the country urging people to

:16:53.:16:57.

get behind this Government and give Theresa May's leadership the

:16:58.:16:59.

majority in Parliament that she needs to be able to look after this

:17:00.:17:06.

country's long-term interests. Sir Michael Fallon, thank you.

:17:07.:17:13.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:17:14.:17:16.

French voters have chosen two outsiders -

:17:17.:17:18.

Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen - to contest the final

:17:19.:17:21.

A man has been arrested in connection with the death

:17:22.:17:24.

of a former Royal Navy officer who was killed after

:17:25.:17:27.

confronting burglars who were trying to steal his car.

:17:28.:17:34.

Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:17:35.:17:38.

This is one of our Weather Watchers photos. It is from Shetland. The

:17:39.:17:46.

last time we had snow late on in April was last year and that was

:17:47.:17:50.

across Northern England. We have it falling this morning. A beautiful

:17:51.:17:55.

picture from Shetland. Look at how ominous the cloud looks. Further

:17:56.:17:58.

snow showers to come in the next couple of days. By no means will we

:17:59.:18:04.

all see snow. A few of us that will do and we're looking at frosty

:18:05.:18:07.

nights as well. We have got weather fronts moving south. Behind this

:18:08.:18:10.

cold front we are pulling in the cold air on a nearly wind, straight

:18:11.:18:15.

down from the Arctic and it will be later on that it moves right the

:18:16.:18:25.

away way across our shores. The cloud building. But brightening up

:18:26.:18:30.

behind them, but still there will be some wintriness into the afternoon

:18:31.:18:33.

and a few more of us seeing it this afternoon. So for Northern Ireland

:18:34.:18:40.

you have got sunshine and showers. Any wintriness on the hills. Snow

:18:41.:18:43.

falling at low levels across Northern Scotland. A lot of dry

:18:44.:18:47.

weather. A cold day. A windy day. Down the East Coast of Scotland and

:18:48.:18:51.

the far north-east of England you can expect to see some wintriness

:18:52.:18:54.

coming out of the showers. Some sleet and hail and thunder and

:18:55.:18:59.

lightening, but the rest of Northern England sunshine. The Midlands and

:19:00.:19:03.

East Anglia, this is where we have got our weather front. Cloudy with

:19:04.:19:08.

rain. But it is fairly sporadic and it is the same for south-west

:19:09.:19:12.

England. The cloud will continue to build and we are looking at a cloudy

:19:13.:19:16.

afternoon with patchy rain across Wales. Through this evening, as that

:19:17.:19:22.

weather front pushes away from the South Coast and moves across into

:19:23.:19:26.

the Channel Islands the cold air streams in behind it. We continue

:19:27.:19:34.

with the snow across low levels, but we will see wintriness across

:19:35.:19:36.

Northern Ireland and North Wales, but again, they are showers so not

:19:37.:19:41.

all of us will catch one. A lot of dry weather and clear skies, so it

:19:42.:19:44.

will be frosty and it will be icy of the so something to watch out for

:19:45.:19:49.

first thing. But there will be a lot of sunshine tomorrow, but tomorrow,

:19:50.:19:54.

a plethora of showers and once again almost anywhere you could see little

:19:55.:19:58.

bit of wintriness in them. Still cold in the northerly wind. So

:19:59.:20:03.

although we have seen temperatures between seven and 11 Celsius, if

:20:04.:20:07.

you're exposed to the wined, it will feel colder than the temperatures

:20:08.:20:11.

suggest. As we head on into Wednesday, there will be areas of

:20:12.:20:16.

showery rain dotted around. Nothing substantial so if your garden is

:20:17.:20:20.

crying out for t we will see dribs and drabs, but not really heavy and

:20:21.:20:24.

temperatures seven to ten Celsius, but again we are hanging on to the

:20:25.:20:29.

northerly breeze. As we move on into Thursday, still a bit draftee. We

:20:30.:20:33.

have some rain sinking south, but we start to see the temperatures

:20:34.:20:36.

recover and the temperatures will continue to recover as we head into

:20:37.:20:40.

the weekend and the early part of next week, Dan and Lou.

:20:41.:20:45.

I have never seen the map look that, the plethora of rain, all the little

:20:46.:20:48.

dots everywhere. Thank you very much. See you soon. It is the little

:20:49.:20:51.

things sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. At its peak the make-shift camp

:20:52.:20:56.

known as the Jungle in Calais was home to 7,000 migrants,

:20:57.:20:59.

most were looking for Six months ago it was shut down

:21:00.:21:01.

and authorities say there are only around 100 migrants

:21:02.:21:05.

still in the French port. But a new report seen exclusively

:21:06.:21:08.

by BBC Breakfast puts the figure at four times that

:21:09.:21:11.

with migrants including unaccompanied children sleeping

:21:12.:21:13.

rough in Calais and Paris. Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been

:21:14.:21:16.

to Northern France to see the impact Six months after the Jungle closed,

:21:17.:21:19.

the centre of Calais The port, so long the destination

:21:20.:21:26.

for migrants is running normally. Wtih lorries before we had

:21:27.:21:36.

8,000 migrants per month that we would discover,

:21:37.:21:50.

today that is down to 300. The Jungle was home

:21:51.:21:52.

to some 10,000 migrants. It came to be seen by the

:21:53.:21:59.

authorities as a magnet for people I've had bottles, rocks,

:22:00.:22:02.

bricks thrown at the truck. When he crosses the border

:22:03.:22:14.

into France, Jacob won't stop. Although it's safer getting

in and out of France the problem now is that you don't feel safe

in more areas of France. On the corner of an industrial

:22:27.:22:33.

estate in Calais, a nightly Charities hand out food

:22:34.:22:40.

and clothes to migrants. Most are teenagers

:22:41.:22:43.

without their parents, Why do you not stay here and claim

:22:44.:22:44.

asylum here in France? The report out today

:22:45.:23:04.

from the refugee Rights Data Project says there are about 400 migrants

:23:05.:23:14.

in Calais today, many Public opinion has hardened

:23:15.:23:16.

for all forms of migration, but Michael McHugh from

:23:17.:23:19.

the Refugee Youth Service says

:23:20.:23:28.

genuine asylum claims must be heard. It is not about what people

:23:29.:23:30.

want or do not want. We have tens of thousands

:23:31.:23:33.

of children moving across Europe. There is a legal right for many

:23:34.:23:35.

of these children to go to the UK. 30 minutes from Calais,

this is what is left of another migrant

camp near Dunkirk. It burnt down after a fight

:23:46.:23:46.

between rival groups This is where many migrants came

:23:47.:23:48.

when the Jungle closed. The French government had plans

:23:49.:23:52.

in place to dismantle The government wants to pretend

:23:53.:23:54.

that the problem does not exist and their strategy is to destroy

:23:55.:24:00.

the places where people live, thinking that if we destroy

:24:01.:24:04.

their places and they have no places Just after seven in Calais,

:24:05.:24:07.

the police move in. The French determined another camp

:24:08.:24:20.

will not be established. The problem here has been

:24:21.:24:22.

alleviated but not solved. As the weather improves,

:24:23.:24:25.

thousands of migrants are already on the move

:24:26.:24:27.

across the Middle East and Africa. Many will make it here in the hope

:24:28.:24:30.

of getting to the UK. Let's talk business and Steph's

been getting an update on what the markets

:24:40.:24:41.

are doing this morning. Yes. The stock markets have just

:24:42.:24:46.

earthquake? It is exactly that, the two main parties who have dominated

:33:00.:33:03.

the landscape for the past 50 or more years have been wiped out of

:33:04.:33:09.

this contest. The ruling party, the Socialist party, Francois Hollande,

:33:10.:33:16.

got 6% in yesterday's elections. So a significant time for the French.

:33:17.:33:24.

With me is an author of a book called How The French Think. Will

:33:25.:33:30.

you have to rewrite your book? One of the things I conclude in my book

:33:31.:33:36.

is France is always divided into clusters of two. The second round

:33:37.:33:42.

will be between the optimist is represented by Emmanuel Macron and

:33:43.:33:46.

the pessimists represented by Marine Le Pen. In that respect the French

:33:47.:33:50.

are still being true to form. What is going on in the French psyche to

:33:51.:33:56.

opt for these candidates at a time like this? There is immense

:33:57.:34:00.

frustration with the economy and with the political elite. What

:34:01.:34:04.

Emmanuel Macron has been able to do very artfully is to exploit this

:34:05.:34:10.

economic and political situation to his advantage. When he created his

:34:11.:34:14.

movement a year ago, everyone thought it would be just a bubble.

:34:15.:34:20.

Yet here we are, just one year later and he is at the threshold of the

:34:21.:34:26.

French presidency. Do you think someone like Emmanuel Macron William

:34:27.:34:30.

Knight France, if he wins? He is trying to bring together all the

:34:31.:34:35.

things people agree on rather than divide people. In that sense he has

:34:36.:34:39.

a hopeful project ahead of him. Whether he will be able to do so by

:34:40.:34:45.

the institutions, is another matter. Thank you very much. Fascinating

:34:46.:34:50.

times, changing times in France, but after months of relentless

:34:51.:34:55.

campaigning, under the two weeks are upon us. Absolutely, thank you very

:34:56.:34:56.

much, Aaron. My officers conduct themselves to

:34:57.:35:13.

the letter of the law. So you didn't have a deeply corrupt officer

link of the morning. Arsene Wenger could win his seventh

:36:13.:36:25.

FA Cup. Pretty good, considering. Will he

:36:26.:36:30.

keep his job? All the pressure is on pep Guardiola. He won't win a trophy

:36:31.:36:40.

after being brought in as the best manager in football. I think there

will be big spending done over the summer. Yes, watch this space.

Arsenal will face Chelsea in next month's FA Cup final

:36:50.:36:51.

after beating Manchester City 2-1 in extra time at Wembley.

:36:52.:36:54.

They did it the hard way in the semifinal,

:36:55.:36:56.

coming from behind after City had taken the lead

:36:57.:36:58.

The Gunners, though, found an equaliser through Nacho Monreal

:36:59.:37:01.

to send the game into extra time, before Alexis Sanchez

:37:02.:37:04.

People questioned us a lot recently, you know, when we went through some

:37:05.:37:15.

But in these difficult times, you can be divided, what is

:37:16.:37:20.

natural inclination, or you can be united.

:37:21.:37:25.

shown the right response, that we are capable to be together.

:37:26.:37:33.

City's exit from the FA Cup means there'll be no trophy

:37:34.:37:36.

for Pep Guardiola this year, and Manchester United are breathing

:37:37.:37:39.

down their rivals' necks in the Premier League.

:37:40.:37:41.

A 2-0 win at Burnley means Jose Mourinho's side are now just

:37:42.:37:44.

a point behind City and the fourth Champions League spot,

:37:45.:37:47.

which gives Thursday's Manchester derby an extra bit of spice.

:37:48.:37:53.

United have something of an injury crisis,

:37:54.:37:55.

which meant Wayne Rooney made just his second Premier League start

:37:56.:37:58.

of the year, but he and Anthony Martial scored for United

:37:59.:38:01.

Third-placed Liverpool slipped up, losing 2-1

:38:02.:38:06.

Philippe Coutinho put the hosts ahead with a great free kick,

:38:07.:38:10.

but two goals by former Liverpool forward Christian Benteke

:38:11.:38:13.

gave Palace the victory and eases their relegation worries.

:38:14.:38:19.

Celtic remain on course for their first domestic Treble

:38:20.:38:21.

since 2001 after they beat Old Firm rivals Rangers 2-0 to reach

:38:22.:38:24.

They've already wrapped up the league title

:38:25.:38:27.

and the Scottish League Cup this season, and an early goal

:38:28.:38:29.

Scott Sinclair doubled their lead with a penalty in the second half,

:38:30.:38:37.

the third goal he's scored against Rangers this season.

:38:38.:38:40.

Celtic will face Aberdeen in the final next month.

:38:41.:38:45.

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique described Lionel Messi

:38:46.:38:47.

as the "best player in history" after he scored his 500th goal

:38:48.:38:50.

for the club as they beat Real Madrid 3-2 to take them

:38:51.:38:54.

There was a special guest to see it, too,

:38:55.:39:01.

as Masters champion Sergio Garcia got things under way,

:39:02.:39:03.

There was plenty of entertainment in the match itself.

:39:04.:39:09.

Madrid had Sergioo Ramos sent off and it was 2-2 going into the final

:39:10.:39:13.

ten seconds of injury time when Messi

:39:14.:39:16.

He scored twice in the match to take his side top

Great Britain's Ellie Downie rounded off her fantastic weekend

:39:21.:39:26.

:39:29.:39:32.

after after winning all-around gold, silver in the vault

:39:33.:39:35.

Claudia Fragapane finished seventh after a bad mistake.

:39:36.:39:44.

Now, we've heard about the sportsmanship of

:39:45.:39:46.

Swansea Harriers runner Matthew Rees at the London Marathon, as

:39:47.:39:48.

he helped fellow competitor David Wyeth over the line.

:39:49.:39:58.

But he wasn't the only member of the Swansea

:39:59.:40:02.

Josh Griffiths was running his first marathon.

:40:03.:40:05.

Not only did he finish, he was the first Briton

:40:06.:40:07.

across the line with a time of 2 hours, 14 minutes and 49 seconds,

:40:08.:40:11.

He completed the course in a qualifying time

:40:12.:40:14.

for the World Championships so quite a day for the club

:40:15.:40:17.

They must breed them fast and strong in south Wales. An amazing

:40:18.:40:39.

performance. First marathon, first major marathon. Probably running

:40:40.:40:43.

them round the mountains of South Wales on a daily basis.

:40:44.:40:47.

Speaking about that amazing moment from the marathon, earlier,

:40:48.:40:50.

we spoke to Matthew Rees and David Wyeth about those last

:40:51.:40:55.

torturous 135 metres to the finish line.

:40:56.:41:06.

I took the final corner, ready to sprint the few hundred

:41:07.:41:09.

metres but I saw David and his legs had completely

:41:10.:41:12.

In my mind, I was like, "That's the one, I need to help this guy,

:41:13.:41:18.

He'd come 26 miles and the finish was just there, so, for me,

:41:19.:41:23.

it was important to get into the end and cross together.

:41:24.:41:25.

And what was going through my head was, "Don't you stop,

:41:26.:41:28.

In fact, when the volunteer came over, you know,

:41:29.:41:34.

I was still really keen that Matthew just dropped me and got a good time.

:41:35.:41:39.

Obviously, we had never met so I did not know his

:41:40.:41:41.

You know, as you mentioned earlier, you know, he could well

:41:42.:41:47.

have been on for a PB, so I didn't know that

:41:48.:41:50.

and I was frustrated that he was giving up his race.

:41:51.:41:53.

Definitely stay in touch, you know, we have been through something

:41:54.:41:57.

incredible together, amazing and a marathon

:41:58.:42:01.

So yeah, we'll keep in touch definitely.

:42:02.:42:04.

Absolutely, but it does sum up the running community as well.

:42:05.:42:06.

You know, we are really pleased that you have seen this.

:42:07.:42:10.

It got caught on the cameras but this stuff happens all over

:42:11.:42:13.

the place in races up and down the country.

:42:14.:42:15.

You know, I'm really grateful to Matthew but also

:42:16.:42:17.

I've heard references to a running rival.

:42:18.:42:23.

We are not rivals on that day, you know?

:42:24.:42:25.

We are all fighting for the line together.

:42:26.:42:34.

So many people take part in sport in this country, just because of the

:42:35.:42:41.

camaraderie. Thank you for your comments this morning, you watch

:42:42.:42:47.

them live yesterday and then saw them on Breakfast today.

:42:48.:42:49.

If you haven't seen last night's episode of Line

:42:50.:42:58.

The police corruption drama has had us on the edge of our seats

:42:59.:43:09.

for the past five weeks, and as we inch towards the series

:43:10.:43:11.

final on Sunday, we are still no closer to knowing if AC-12 will be

:43:12.:43:15.

To perhaps shed some light on what more we can expect we'll be

:43:16.:43:24.

speaking to Adrian Dunbar, who plays Superintendent Ted

:43:25.:43:26.

But first, let's take a look at his character in action,

:43:27.:43:29.

Sir, there's an institutional failure to admit error, here, sir.

:43:30.:43:42.

Actually, it is a wilful effort to bury allegations

:43:43.:43:46.

of wrongdoing and to cap it all, the only department that's trying

:43:47.:43:48.

to get to the truth, mine, is the one that's being reduced.

:43:49.:43:58.

to get to the truth, mine, is the one that's being recused.

:43:59.:44:01.

To provide sufficient evidence against Roz Huntley.

:44:02.:44:05.

Plus, she's levelled credible accusations against your undercover

:44:06.:44:07.

officer of entrapment, of coaching witnesses, possibly even

:44:08.:44:09.

My officers conduct themselves to the letter of the law,

:44:10.:44:12.

Oh, so you didn't have a deeply corrupt officer embedded

:44:13.:44:15.

No one regrets more than me, sir, not seeing through

:44:16.:44:19.

Cottan's dying declaration - I want the full recording

:44:20.:44:24.

You are causing havoc on Monday. We are divided into those who have seen

:44:25.:44:44.

it and those who have seen it cannot talk to the people who have not.

:44:45.:44:49.

People walk up and say, don't tell me. I haven't seen it. It is with

:44:50.:44:58.

some trepidation I go into this interview, are we qualified to

:44:59.:45:02.

interview? I think you are coming have done enough over the years to

:45:03.:45:07.

be qualified. Just don't put me under too much pressure.

:45:08.:45:14.

You are aware of the impact it's having on Sony people, and today we

:45:15.:45:20.

have a pregnant lady called Anna who says she has texting specifically to

:45:21.:45:23.

see you having watched last night. Hello! My wife is called Anna as

:45:24.:45:29.

well. When you get the script, do you think what is happening now, as

:45:30.:45:34.

actors? Absolutely, we get the first couple of episodes. You are reading

:45:35.:45:38.

the first couple of episodes and you are kind of shocked by what is going

:45:39.:45:42.

on. Then you get drip fed the next episode and you think, "Oh, my God!"

:45:43.:45:47.

We can't pre-empt, when we are shooting it in blocks, we don't

:45:48.:45:50.

necessarily know what is going to happen further down the line. It

:45:51.:45:55.

comes as just a big a shock to us with the scripts are fed to us and

:45:56.:46:04.

of course when Jed Mercurio writes comedies going towards the final

:46:05.:46:07.

episode and he does not lock it in stone until he sees what else is

:46:08.:46:12.

going on before it. So things can change. He has the ability to change

:46:13.:46:17.

things as he sees fit. Tell us about Ted Hastings as a character to play.

:46:18.:46:21.

Fantastic, it's been a great character for me to play because I

:46:22.:46:25.

can bring my stuff to it, as it were. It's great to find, to be able

:46:26.:46:30.

to be a character, as such. People seem to have warmed to him because

:46:31.:46:35.

he's very old school, not very PC but at the same time, it is nice to

:46:36.:46:38.

feel there is somebody out there who is trying to chase down the bad guys

:46:39.:46:42.

and has a kind of moral core and those things. May be the non-PC that

:46:43.:46:50.

catches it out. It could be that or any number of things. Of course, we

:46:51.:46:56.

don't necessarily know. People play Hastings bingo when they watch Line

:46:57.:47:03.

Of Duty. "For The purposes of the tape", Bent coppers, letter of the

:47:04.:47:07.

law, one the tie, darling, that wee girl and of course, fella. Fella is

:47:08.:47:12.

going big, hold on there, fella, seems to be all over the place. I

:47:13.:47:16.

knocked on social media but Vicky McClure and Martin Compston keep on

:47:17.:47:19.

sending me stuff to bring up to speed which is quite fun. Do you

:47:20.:47:27.

watch it at I do. I'm filming, directing TV in Liverpool at the

:47:28.:47:31.

minute for Jimmy McGovern, so I wasn't at home last night but

:47:32.:47:35.

usually, I watch at home. The amazing thing is, not speaking from

:47:36.:47:41.

a position of expertise, here, but what you manage to do, producers,

:47:42.:47:47.

directors and actors is essentially, there's incredible scenes where you

:47:48.:47:50.

have three or four people sat around a desk and the scene can sometimes

:47:51.:47:54.

last 15 minutes and yet, it remains incredibly compelling TV. Yes, it's

:47:55.:48:00.

very intense. Sometimes we have seen is that run to 26, we had a 32 page

:48:01.:48:07.

seen at one point, each take to the best part of half an hour to shoot.

:48:08.:48:11.

So they get intense because of that as well because of the longevity of

:48:12.:48:15.

the scene as it goes on but also because it is structured, the

:48:16.:48:20.

Byzantine nature of police, you are dealing with people who are very

:48:21.:48:22.

smart and who understand the techniques that are used within

:48:23.:48:27.

interrogation and so forth and interview. That is what makes it

:48:28.:48:31.

very tense and it is very incremental. You can't jump ahead.

:48:32.:48:35.

You have to very quietly go through stuff. I think people have really

:48:36.:48:42.

got into that. I think the procedural element is very exciting,

:48:43.:48:45.

on the one hand. And on the other hand, we have these incredible

:48:46.:48:50.

twists and turns that happen, that keeps you on your toes as well. And

:48:51.:48:56.

also, it is a show where, you know, the Leeds we don't have guessed

:48:57.:49:01.

Leeds, we have Leeds. We have Thandie Newton at the minute,

:49:02.:49:03.

putting in an incredible performance. And also, I think

:49:04.:49:08.

Martin's character, you really got an insight into his character this

:49:09.:49:12.

time through the series. There are all kinds of element is happening

:49:13.:49:15.

within the series, I think, that is really grabbing everybody's

:49:16.:49:19.

attention, there's lots to talk about as well as the storyline. We

:49:20.:49:24.

don't want to give too much away. Recon. Because I specifically

:49:25.:49:29.

haven't watched it yet! But can you give us a general sense? There is so

:49:30.:49:35.

much to work out. Will there be... Have you seen the last one or not?

:49:36.:49:39.

There's a lot to work out. And of course, not all of it will be worked

:49:40.:49:43.

out because there will be another series, of course. Do you know if

:49:44.:49:46.

you're going to be in the neck series? I'm keeping my fingers

:49:47.:49:50.

crossed. None of us really know if we will make the cut. I think Jed

:49:51.:49:58.

I think we will all be there, exactly. But not everything will be

:49:59.:50:02.

resolved but most of it will. There is this background noise all the

:50:03.:50:08.

time with him, line of duty, that there is some larger conspiracy

:50:09.:50:12.

happening is that we haven't quite got to the bottom of yet. This does

:50:13.:50:16.

not give anything away but we have an exclusive clip from the final

:50:17.:50:21.

episode. What? It's not very long and it won't ruin anything. But we

:50:22.:50:24.

can't have you here without showing a bit.

:50:25.:50:27.

Let's take a look from an exclusive clip from showing

:50:28.:50:29.

Kate? Starting the first round of interviews, no news yet. She's done

:50:30.:50:42.

it again. We had that case in the bomb that had! Schuster and every

:50:43.:50:47.

off the scent. Who's on it? Murder squad, 89 observing. God give me

:50:48.:50:52.

strength, the whole thing is kicking off, we are not even in the game!

:50:53.:51:03.

Kate? Who is it from murder squad? My goodness, bit of Hastings bingo

:51:04.:51:09.

as well. Give me strength! It gets my heart racing. I haven't seen the

:51:10.:51:14.

episode myself yet. And of course, I haven't been around for a lot of the

:51:15.:51:18.

stuff that has been filmed so I find it fascinating actually looking at

:51:19.:51:22.

the series myself because I'm now seeing, you know, what a brilliant

:51:23.:51:27.

performance everyone else is putting in elsewhere in the scenes. I know

:51:28.:51:30.

you can't say who it is, you say you don't know so do you know who

:51:31.:51:38.

balaclava man is? Do I know? Yes. You're going to have to wait and

:51:39.:51:44.

see! Come on! I put it to you, Mr Dunbar, that you know... Now,

:51:45.:51:49.

exactly, no, we don't know any of that yet. Most things will be

:51:50.:51:53.

resolved but not everything because, you know, it's an ongoing series.

:51:54.:51:57.

You know, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will be on much longer.

:51:58.:52:03.

It's an exciting time for TV in some ways, isn't it? It is, this is the

:52:04.:52:11.

particular format that Jed has come up with and it is exciting. We are

:52:12.:52:15.

moving into a more complicated style television making, if you like,

:52:16.:52:25.

rather than just one episode, one case, one result, something that

:52:26.:52:27.

goes on for a number series. Thank you for joining us.

:52:28.:52:29.

The final episode from this series of Line of Duty

:52:30.:52:31.

Carol Kirkwood is one of your biggest fans and she has only just

:52:32.:52:40.

taken her hands over her eyes. Good morning, best bread on TV, Line

:52:41.:52:46.

Of Duty. Thank you very much! Good morning, everyone. It is a chilly

:52:47.:52:50.

start with some snow around as well, as you can see from one of the

:52:51.:52:53.

Weather Watchers pictures taken this morning in Shetland. We have another

:52:54.:52:57.

one from the Highlands. Look how ominous the cloud is looking. We

:52:58.:53:02.

have seen some snow this morning, and on the radar chart, you can see

:53:03.:53:06.

where it has been falling, primarily across northern Scotland. Elsewhere,

:53:07.:53:10.

any precipitation coming out of the skies has been rain. For the next

:53:11.:53:15.

few days, not immune to wintry showers but because they are

:53:16.:53:17.

showers, not all of us will catch one but watch out for frost. What is

:53:18.:53:22.

happening is happening is a cold front is sinking south and behind

:53:23.:53:26.

it, all this cold air is streaming southwards, courtesy of a northerly

:53:27.:53:30.

flow. The air is coming straight down from the Arctic. Across

:53:31.:53:35.

northern Scotland, we continue with snow even at lower levels through

:53:36.:53:39.

the day. The wind will strengthen, as I mentioned, coming from the

:53:40.:53:43.

north and it will really accentuate the cold feel. Brightening up across

:53:44.:53:47.

northern England and all the rest of the patchy rain sinking southwards,

:53:48.:53:50.

eradicating the sunny start. Sunshine across a lot of northern

:53:51.:53:54.

England this afternoon but across the far north-east and eastern

:53:55.:53:57.

Scotland once again, some wintry showers. A mixture of rain, sleet,

:53:58.:54:02.

hail and thunder and lightning but snowed still to lower levels in the

:54:03.:54:05.

north and also windy. Northern Ireland with sunshine and showers.

:54:06.:54:09.

On the hills, a bit of wintering is perhaps. For Wales, as the weather

:54:10.:54:13.

front south, it will brighten up from the North, so bright in

:54:14.:54:17.

Cheshire, the Wirral and North Wales but for the rest of Wales in

:54:18.:54:20.

south-west England, a bit more cloud and some patchy rain. Patchy rain

:54:21.:54:25.

across southern counties, through the Midlands, extending towards Kent

:54:26.:54:28.

and East Anglia. But in the south, we are still in mild air this

:54:29.:54:33.

afternoon. Through the evening, as the weather front clears down here,

:54:34.:54:36.

taking rain into the Channel Islands, the cold air will filter

:54:37.:54:40.

across everyone. A cold night to come, with some wintry gas in

:54:41.:54:43.

Scotland still, down to low levels and also looking at some wintry

:54:44.:54:48.

showers across eastern England, and Northern Ireland, and also, parts of

:54:49.:54:52.

Wales. There will be a widespread frost and the risk of ice on

:54:53.:54:57.

untreated surfaces. Tomorrow dawns on a lovely note for some with a lot

:54:58.:55:00.

of sunshine and a cold start. There will be a lot of showers. Some of

:55:01.:55:04.

those, almost anywhere, could have a wintry element but because they are

:55:05.:55:09.

showers, it also means not all of us will see one. Some still getting

:55:10.:55:12.

down to lower levels across parts of northern Scotland and once again,

:55:13.:55:17.

towns and cities, 7-11 but in the wind, it will feel a lot colder than

:55:18.:55:22.

that. On Wednesday, further showers, some of those once again could be

:55:23.:55:27.

wintry in nature. Temperatures between 7-11 or 12. As we head

:55:28.:55:30.

towards the latter part of the week and into the weekend, gradually, we

:55:31.:55:34.

will start to see temperatures climbing once again. But certainly

:55:35.:55:38.

for the next few days, you will need your winter coat once again.

:55:39.:55:46.

It's OK, we can turn back the TV on, no more spoilers.

:55:47.:55:55.

Lots of police officers have got in contact saying that Adrian Dunbar is

:55:56.:55:59.

the most authentic superintendent on TV. So good. Some great guests on

:56:00.:56:07.

the sofa this morning. Can you believe the Scottish band Texas have

:56:08.:56:11.

been around for 30 years? The latest sound represents -- album represents

:56:12.:56:15.

a fresh sound for the group. Sharleen Spiteri will be with us in

:56:16.:56:18.

a few moments but first, let's have a look at a song from their new

:56:19.:56:20.

album. # Don't you tell her, tell that girl

:56:21.:56:22.

# You said forever, ever, oh, # How's she supposed to know that

:56:23.:56:30.

you're meant to be together # If you don't tell

:56:31.:56:35.

her, tell that girl Sharleen Spiteri,

:56:36.:56:59.

welcome to BBC Breakfast. I asked you how you are but you are

:57:00.:57:17.

living? I look about 70 at the moment. You normally leap about? I

:57:18.:57:21.

do but I took of my moon boot to come on this morning. I had a bit of

:57:22.:57:27.

an accident, a bit of a middle-aged accident, trying to act like I was

:57:28.:57:33.

12. Bouncy castle. You are not the first. Know, and I definitely won't

:57:34.:57:36.

be the last but what an idiot! You know when you feel like an absolute

:57:37.:57:41.

idiot? I did it under the BBC's watch as well which was really funny

:57:42.:57:46.

and they said, " we are not liable", and I thought nothing was going to

:57:47.:57:49.

happen but the torn ligament and I've only got myself to blame.

:57:50.:57:54.

You're a disgrace! That is what happens when you're in a band. We

:57:55.:57:57.

were talking only about when you feel like a grown-up and you're a

:57:58.:58:02.

similar age to me... I never feel like a grown-up. Who wants to be a

:58:03.:58:06.

grown-up? Texas have been around for quite some time, as we were saying,

:58:07.:58:10.

does this feel like a fresh start for a new chapter? Just the next

:58:11.:58:14.

chapter of the story. This is what we do, make records, go out on tour.

:58:15.:58:20.

It has been amazing, after the reception we had a few years ago

:58:21.:58:25.

when we did the conversation, and the 25th anniversary, it was like

:58:26.:58:30.

the tours were sold out, it was amazing, and we thought, "Right,

:58:31.:58:33.

let's do the next record", and this is it. Tell us about the record. It

:58:34.:58:39.

is a very positive, up record, we wanted to make one that gave you an

:58:40.:58:42.

escape from real life. That is what we were really trying to do, that

:58:43.:58:47.

moment of, "It's not nice out there at the moment, shut it off, hands in

:58:48.:58:58.

the air, dance in the kitchen". A bit of escapism. That was what we

:58:59.:59:01.

wanted in our lives so we very much try to make it on the record. Let's

:59:02.:59:04.

show you a clip from the video, because we showed you at earlier

:59:05.:59:07.

with Thierry Henry in it can and I want you to expire in how you got

:59:08.:59:11.

Thierry Henry in the video. -- to explain.

:59:12.:59:18.

# We've got to work it out. # Life is too short, let's work it

:59:19.:59:28.

out. # We've got to work it out.

:59:29.:59:34.

# Life's too short we've got to work it out.

:59:35.:59:42.

# I know this is the last time. # Because you will never be mine.

:59:43.:59:51.

# Go away, go away. # Its dramatic. Does he say anything

:59:52.:00:12.

in the video? No, we were laughing away, and we kept getting told to be

:00:13.:00:16.

quiet. So that is his serious face on. You have known each other for

:00:17.:00:23.

how long? Since he came to Arsenal so about 18 years. He met at a game,

:00:24.:00:32.

but you were neighbours? He lived in the road behind me. Patrick Viera

:00:33.:00:37.

had invited me to a game and I am an Arsenal fan. I had a season ticket

:00:38.:00:44.

but I had been invited to the player's Lounge. Then I met Thierry

:00:45.:00:48.

Henry Henry and we realised we lived one street away from each other. And

:00:49.:00:54.

I said, if you need somebody to show you around London, whatever. What

:00:55.:01:00.

can I say, I am Scottish and hospitable and we have been friends

:01:01.:01:08.

ever since. We were sitting in his kitchen and we were having lunch

:01:09.:01:13.

talking absolute rubbish. And he said to me, have you finished the

:01:14.:01:18.

record yet? And I said yes, I have got some of it, do you want to have

:01:19.:01:24.

a listen? He said, I like that. He had a bit of a dance. And I said if

:01:25.:01:35.

I ever get Hugh in a video, you are definitely not dancing because you

:01:36.:01:40.

will outshine me. He was asking me to be in the video. I didn't want to

:01:41.:01:47.

put him under pressure. So I called up and said, you can say no. And

:01:48.:01:56.

then he said, I would love to do it. We had a great time. He is a

:01:57.:02:05.

wonderful, great person. Very nice. It is an exhilarating album,

:02:06.:02:11.

uplifting, escapism? It has been well received and everybody has been

:02:12.:02:17.

positive. We go out on tour and restart end of August. By that time

:02:18.:02:23.

you will be jumping about the stage. No bouncy castles.

:02:24.:02:26.

Texas' new album is called 'Jump on Board'.

:02:27.:02:31.

We're only four months into Hull's term as the UK City of Culture -

:02:32.:02:39.

but already towns and cities are bidding for their chance

:02:40.:02:41.

One potential contender is Britain's smallest city,

:02:42.:02:45.

St David's in Pembrokeshire - which has a population

:02:46.:02:47.

Beautiful it is. Behind the imposing Gately is the city of St Davids. A

:02:48.:03:06.

large village, it has 1800 people. And then down there is Saint David's

:03:07.:03:11.

Cathedral. This is going to be the focus, they hope of the city of

:03:12.:03:18.

culture in 2021, 11 places bidding. I have been to another place in line

:03:19.:03:24.

for this accolade, and that is Warrington between Liverpool and

:03:25.:03:25.

Manchester. George Formby, famous

:03:26.:03:31.

for his ukelele playing and his saucy songs,

:03:32.:03:33.

was born here in 1904. Britain's first IKEA

of what we've been doing, culture? As we transition from a new town

because we know what cities that They are abandoned of

looking at the town centre. This is what they call

:04:18.:04:27.

Warrington's cultural quarter. They say it's the oldest

public library in England. The truth is, people

:04:29.:04:35.

in Warrington who want theatre or major art galleries go

:04:36.:04:42.

to Liverpool or Manchester. The concert venue's

:04:43.:04:45.

called Parr Hall. Outside, I met a musician

:04:46.:04:48.

and promoter who says Warrington's live music scene has enjoyed

:04:49.:04:51.

a modest revival lately but could do much better if the town

to get their formal applications in. What about St Davids, I am joined by

:05:58.:06:04.

two local artists. They say this is the art capital of Wales? Apparently

:06:05.:06:10.

so, I came here about 30 years ago and I am amazed at how many little

:06:11.:06:15.

galleries are around and how many people are interested in

:06:16.:06:20.

contemporary arts. It has retained its historical identity, St Davids

:06:21.:06:27.

is open to embracing contemporary art and art from around the world.

:06:28.:06:34.

You are painting all 1800 residents of the place. This is your little

portrait of? Dorrien Davies. This project will entail doing 1800. Very

:06:46.:06:52.

quickly, what has St Davids got apart from the fact it is very

:06:53.:06:57.

timely and not really a plausible candidate for the city of Culture?

:06:58.:07:02.

What has and it got? You have the wonderful pill in Schiller, this

:07:03.:07:07.

beautiful cathedral, the centre of spirituality and huge talent, like

:07:08.:07:13.

Graham. So many people come here to out the year. To have this place as

:07:14.:07:18.

city of culture would add to the mix. Thank you both very much, I am

:07:19.:07:23.

sorry we have so little time but St Davids get its application in by the

end of the week and we will know by the end of the year, the end of

Hull's yet of City of Culture, who will beat city of culture in 2021.

:07:32.:07:36.

It is a cracking looking Cathedral. In a moment, we'll be speaking

:07:37.:07:39.

to Jules Mountain about battling cancer and surviving

:07:40.:07:42.

an avalanche on Everest. But first a last,brief

:07:43.:07:43.

look at the headlines Now though it's back

:07:44.:07:46.

to Dan and Louise. Jules Mountain survived a seven-hour

:07:47.:09:24.

operation to remove a cancerous tumour in his head and four

:09:25.:09:32.

months of chemotherapy. Spurred on by his recovery

:09:33.:09:36.

he joined expedition to climb Mount Everest,

:09:37.:09:38.

only to become caught up in the avalanche caused by the 2015

:09:39.:09:41.

earthquake in Nepal. Undeterred he returned and reached

:09:42.:09:48.

the summit the following year. Now he's written a book

:09:49.:09:50.

about his experience. So much to talk to you about. I have

:09:51.:10:02.

read a lot of the book and a lot of it deals with the aftermath after

:10:03.:10:07.

that horrendous earthquake and the devastation it caused. You were on

:10:08.:10:11.

the mountain at the time and you had got back into your tent? I was at

:10:12.:10:16.

base camp, had Breakfast and gone back to my tent. I was lying in the

:10:17.:10:22.

tent and all of a sudden the ground move to the left. We were on a

:10:23.:10:27.

glacier, several tonnes of ice and I thought, that cannot move. It felt

:10:28.:10:31.

like someone was lifting me up by my back. It shunted me to the right. I

:10:32.:10:37.

jumped out the tent and I looked up, and the two Polish climbers in from

:10:38.:10:42.

the meat were looking up at the sky. The sky was filled full of snow

:10:43.:10:46.

coming towards us. I have seen avalanches before but everything was

:10:47.:10:52.

full of snow. You must have thought, that is it, at that moment? I did, I

:10:53.:10:58.

thought I was going to die. My first reaction was, can I run. The ground

:10:59.:11:03.

behind me was covered in ice and rocks and I only had my socks on.

:11:04.:11:08.

And I thought, that is not going to happen so I dived back into my tent

:11:09.:11:13.

and buried my head into my sleeping bag. Then the whole thing hit and

:11:14.:11:17.

the tent was rocking backwards and forwards and I thought, it will blow

:11:18.:11:22.

the tent away and I will die. You had an extraordinary escape, but

:11:23.:11:28.

many didn't and then you had to deal with the aftermath which was

:11:29.:11:32.

extremely traumatic? It was chaos, chaos like you could never imagine.

:11:33.:11:37.

If somebody walked into your house with a broken arm, you call 999 and

:11:38.:11:42.

you have 15 to 20 minutes and somebody else comes to take them

:11:43.:11:46.

away. The only thing we had was helicopters coming into base camp,

:11:47.:11:50.

bringing in supplies and they would take people away. You had a night on

:11:51.:11:57.

the mountain? We had no help, no one was coming after the earthquake. We

:11:58.:12:01.

had all these badly injured people, 22 people who had died and over 100

:12:02.:12:06.

injured. There was nobody to help them. Having been to cancer, which

:12:07.:12:12.

you detailed beautifully in the book, if I can put it that way,

:12:13.:12:16.

having been to that, what did your family think, here we go again? My

:12:17.:12:24.

dad said, really? Have you got to do it again? I have got to do it again.

:12:25.:12:29.

I'm that have kept going back until I managed to kill myself, it is that

:12:30.:12:36.

addictive. Even though you have two young girls? Yes, two beautiful

:12:37.:12:39.

young daughters. That was the hardest thing of being away for

:12:40.:12:44.

eight weeks, the hardest thing was being away from them. It was very

:12:45.:12:49.

tough. It was the toughest decision and the first year I went, I almost

:12:50.:12:54.

came back after the first week. I hated sleeping in a tent at -15

:12:55.:13:00.

every night. I was slightly claustrophobic, I am six feet three,

:13:01.:13:05.

I had my head stuck in one corner of the tent. It is like getting into

:13:06.:13:09.

your freezer at night and going to sleep and wondering if you would be

:13:10.:13:13.

alive in the morning. I don't mind the climbing, it is great but being

:13:14.:13:18.
