:00:09. > :00:11.Labour promises a new plan for Brexit.

:00:12. > :00:13.They say they'd scrap Theresa May's strategy,

:00:14. > :00:16.and would guarantee the rights of EU citizens in the UK

:00:17. > :00:21.The Conservatives say they're the only party with a clear

:01:22. > :01:23.they need after Britain leaves I'll have more on how

:01:24. > :01:26.that could work. Newcastle secure promotion back

:01:27. > :01:30.to the Premier League We've been to meet the Guardians

:01:31. > :01:35.of the Galaxy, Kurt Russell and Chris Pratt, so what do

:01:36. > :01:43.they like about being in Britain? Probably jellied yield. No! No! --

:01:44. > :02:06.Jellied eel. It is a very cold start to the day

:02:07. > :02:11.and a cold day generally. That deal is accented by northerly winds. It

:02:12. > :02:13.will be a little bit like yesterday, wintry and I will have more details

:02:14. > :02:14.in 15 minutes. Labour will set out its policy

:02:15. > :02:19.on Brexit today, saying that the party would guarantee

:02:20. > :02:22.the rights of EU citizens living in the UK on day one

:02:23. > :02:24.of taking power. Sir Keir Starmer,

:02:25. > :02:26.the Shadow Brexit Secretary, will also say retaining the benefits

:02:27. > :02:29.of the single market would become He'll stress that Labour wouldn't

:02:30. > :02:36.accept negotiations ending without a deal, and will promise

:02:37. > :02:40.to give Parliament a meaningful vote Here's our political

:02:41. > :02:59.correspondent, Eleanor Garnier. The eyes to the right. 498. Nose to

:03:00. > :03:03.left, 114. When it came to a vote, Labour supported legislation giving

:03:04. > :03:08.Theresa May be power to trigger the start of negotiations to leave the

:03:09. > :03:11.EU. But, so far, labour has struggled to present its own clear

:03:12. > :03:18.message on except. Now the party's shadow Brexit Secretary will attempt

:03:19. > :03:22.to clarify their position. Sir Keir Starmer will say today a labour

:03:23. > :03:26.government would unilaterally guarantee the rights of EU citizens

:03:27. > :03:32.in the UK on day one of taking power. And Sir Keir Starmer will

:03:33. > :03:35.also promised to prioritise the economy in negotiations, aiming to

:03:36. > :03:41.keep the benefits of the single market and the customs union. He

:03:42. > :03:45.will say that labour will reject the Conservative's repeal bill and bring

:03:46. > :03:49.in new legislation to transfer relevant EU laws to Britain, to

:03:50. > :03:54.protect employment and consumer rights as well as environmental

:03:55. > :03:58.regulations. When it comes to negotiating with other EU leaders,

:03:59. > :04:02.the labour government, Sir Keir Starmer will say, will build a close

:04:03. > :04:10.relationship with the European Union, not as members, but as

:04:11. > :04:13.partners. Theresa May will again stress leave the strong leadership

:04:14. > :04:22.to see the country through Brexit and beyond the

:04:23. > :04:24.Let's speak to our political correspondent Alex Forsyth

:04:25. > :04:30.who is at Downing Street this morning.

:04:31. > :04:35.what is the Conservative response? Theresa May will chair a meeting of

:04:36. > :04:39.the cabinet inside Downing Street before she continues on the campaign

:04:40. > :04:43.trail, heading to Wales. There she will continue to make the two

:04:44. > :04:46.arguments that have been central to the Conservative campaign. The first

:04:47. > :04:51.is the idea of strong leadership. She says that is something that only

:04:52. > :04:55.the Tories can offer. The second is the idea that unless the Tories are

:04:56. > :05:00.in government you could end up in a coalition of the other parties. They

:05:01. > :05:05.have ruled that out another the less Theresa May it will make that

:05:06. > :05:12.argument. She will point to previous alliances between the Welsh parties.

:05:13. > :05:17.The mere fact she is going to Wales is significant. She is taking this

:05:18. > :05:21.campaign straight to the labour heartlands. Boosted by recent

:05:22. > :05:25.opinion polls that suggest she has the lead over labour so she is

:05:26. > :05:29.targeting their voters will not bite, of course, there are still six

:05:30. > :05:31.weeks left of the election campaign and anything can happen in politics.

:05:32. > :05:33.Six weeks is a long time. We'll speak to Labour's Barry

:11:15. > :11:17.think. What a way to do it. A little bit of a wobble in the last few

:11:18. > :11:19.games but they did it in style. Newcastle will be playing

:12:33. > :12:36.in a moment but let's have a look at some of the papers for you this

:12:37. > :12:40.morning. The Daily Express. One of the stories we were looking at this

:12:41. > :12:46.morning, exercise to beat dementia. 45 minute workouts to keep your

:12:47. > :12:49.brain healthy and a picture of the Queen out and about yesterday,

:12:50. > :12:53.racked up nice and warm. Carol was given as a warning about wearing

:12:54. > :12:57.coats yesterday and she was correct. I was wrapped up like an ASCII mode

:12:58. > :13:04.this morning. That is reflected in the Guardian as well. Not really the

:13:05. > :13:11.weather for ice cream. Also they are talking about Brexit saying that

:13:12. > :13:22.some voters are being urged to seek our Brexit supporting ministers. The

:13:23. > :13:26.front page of the Daily Mail has GPs failing thousands of cancer patients

:13:27. > :13:31.as the main story. Catherine Vita Jones on the front cover, having a

:13:32. > :13:36.look inside her bathroom cabinet with products worth ?2000. That is

:13:37. > :13:41.unbelievable. I will show you, there it is. That is what her bathroom

:13:42. > :13:49.cabinet looks like. That is a massive cabinet, if that is the real

:13:50. > :13:54.one. And it is very tidy. They date back, those products, date back to

:13:55. > :13:58.around 1992, the products in my cabinet. I never get around to

:13:59. > :14:06.throwing things out. I have cotton buds from the 1960s... Shall I do

:14:07. > :14:11.another one? The Telegraph where Marine Le Pen quit her party in a

:14:12. > :14:18.bid for support. And students... Students, according to the outgoing

:14:19. > :14:24.head of admissions, should not be compelled to get a job until six

:14:25. > :14:29.months after they graduate, warning about a session with careers. And a

:14:30. > :14:38.movie premiere in London, this is is early and who is normally coloured

:14:39. > :14:42.green in the film. We will be interviewing Chris Patten and Kurt

:14:43. > :14:49.Russell from the film later in the programme. Steph, going to say

:14:50. > :14:53.something... The students, that you are talking about, it is all very

:14:54. > :14:57.well if they don't get job for six months but what do you do for money?

:14:58. > :15:09.Do you rely on your parents for a bit more? Anyway... That was just my

:15:10. > :15:13.little 10p worth. The cost of education, that is an issue, isn't

:15:14. > :15:18.it? There is a battle going on between the mortgage providers. The

:15:19. > :15:25.Mera picked up on that this morning. Boral was set to benefit from a

:15:26. > :15:29.price war because the third biggest lender has reduced its rates. A

:15:30. > :15:32.quite a few them now bubbling for business when it comes to a

:15:33. > :15:36.mortgage. I was talking yesterday about how the market slowed down a

:15:37. > :15:41.bit so they are obviously fighting for our business.

:15:42. > :15:48.We have the picture everyone is talking about in sport. We have a

:15:49. > :15:53.closer look at it as well. It is Zlatan Ibrahimovic's legs. After he

:15:54. > :15:57.picked up that terrible injury on Sunday in the Europa League, he put

:15:58. > :16:01.this picture on Instagram of his legs. Everyone talking about why

:16:02. > :16:07.they are so veiny, lots of people saying that is what happens to

:16:08. > :16:12.athletes' legs. After exercise the blood is up near the surface of the

:16:13. > :16:17.skin, that is why they look so veiny. There is lots to do with his

:16:18. > :16:20.treatment for this. It is a cruciate ligament, and there are worries he

:16:21. > :16:25.will have done even more damage to his knee, and he is going to go to

:16:26. > :16:29.the United States for analysis on what has happened, and for

:16:30. > :16:33.treatment, to this guy who specialises in a technique known as

:16:34. > :16:38.the double bundle, which effectively means tying a double knot in the

:16:39. > :16:47.ligaments, to stabilise the knee! This is making me feel quite

:16:48. > :16:52.squeamish. Have any papers use the headline You're so Veiny? No! If

:16:53. > :17:01.anyone can bounce back, Zlatan Ibrahimovic came. Lots of pictures

:17:02. > :17:08.in the papers of Bananarama. This is what they look like today, after 30

:17:09. > :17:13.years. Is that them today? If you see Louise on the server on Friday,

:17:14. > :17:19.you know why. She is a big fan of Robert De Niro.

:17:20. > :17:21.You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:17:22. > :17:24.The main stories this morning: Labour says it would scrap

:17:25. > :17:27.Theresa May's Brexit plans and guarantee the rights of EU

:17:28. > :17:30.citizens living in the UK on day one of taking power.

:17:31. > :17:33.Sir Elton John is resting at home after spending two nights

:17:34. > :17:34.in intensive care following a potentially

:17:35. > :17:45.Here is Carol with a look at the morning's weather.

:17:46. > :17:51.She has been telling us about the possibility of snow and cold

:17:52. > :17:56.temperatures. Good morning, and we have eight centimetres of lying snow

:17:57. > :18:00.in Aviemore. Last night it was snowing in the West Midlands,

:18:01. > :18:04.Staffordshire, Wales, just to name a few areas. But for some of us it is

:18:05. > :18:08.a cold but beautiful start to the day. Our Weather Watchers are up

:18:09. > :18:12.nice and early, lovely pictures taken in East Sussex. You can see on

:18:13. > :18:17.our rain and snow radar where we have had some snow during the course

:18:18. > :18:20.of the night, and as well as the snow it is very windy across parts

:18:21. > :18:24.of Scotland. So poor visibility if you are travelling this morning,

:18:25. > :18:28.with that snow lying around. It is a lovely start to the day if you like

:18:29. > :18:32.it is sunny and cold, but through the morning and into the afternoon

:18:33. > :18:36.you will see showers develop, and almost anywhere they could have a

:18:37. > :18:41.wintry mix. Even if you see snow at lower levels it probably will not

:18:42. > :18:46.last and it will not accumulate. Into Scotland you will see the

:18:47. > :18:50.showers, still wintry and windy in nature, still feeling cold, and in

:18:51. > :18:54.between there will be some sunshine. A fair bit of sunshine in Ireland,

:18:55. > :18:58.but there will be showers, and if you are in that wind will feel cold.

:18:59. > :19:03.For Wales we are looking at a mixture of rain, sleet, wet snow and

:19:04. > :19:07.as we pushed down into the south-west of England, a similar

:19:08. > :19:11.combination. In between there will be some brighter spells, but even if

:19:12. > :19:14.you see some sleet, nothing is going to stick during the day. For

:19:15. > :19:18.southern counties in the Midlands, East Anglia and down to Kent it is

:19:19. > :19:21.the same scenario. We are looking at wintry showers with some sunshine

:19:22. > :19:24.and the forecast. Through the evening and overnight we hang on to

:19:25. > :19:28.those wintry showers. It will still be quite windy, but we have a ridge

:19:29. > :19:32.of high pressure building in from the west. So there will be fewer

:19:33. > :19:35.showers in the west, there will still be a lot in central and

:19:36. > :19:38.eastern and northern parts, and still without wintry element. The

:19:39. > :19:45.risk of ice on untreated surfaces and although we have overnight

:19:46. > :19:49.temperatures, one to four in rural areas, in towns and cities it will

:19:50. > :19:54.be higher than that. Things are settling down, still a few showers

:19:55. > :19:58.but a bit more sunshine. Other showers being squeezed towards

:19:59. > :20:01.Central and eastern and northern areas. Later in the day a new

:20:02. > :20:04.weather front thickens the cloud towards western Scotland and

:20:05. > :20:09.Northern Ireland, and that will introduce yet more showers. So by

:20:10. > :20:13.the time we get to Thursday, well, still a fair bit of cloud. That will

:20:14. > :20:18.be sinking south, with some patchy rain and showers on it. But

:20:19. > :20:23.gradually we will start to see the temperatures increase. There is a

:20:24. > :20:26.glimmer of hope, because it has been cold and it is shrouded with a lot

:20:27. > :20:30.of uncertainty but next week, particularly in the south-east, we

:20:31. > :20:35.could see temperatures get back into the 20s in Celsius. But remember

:20:36. > :20:40.that big caveat. There are still a lot of uncertainty around it. It is

:20:41. > :20:42.very changeable, isn't it? Yes, it is. So potentially warmth returns

:20:43. > :20:43.next week. If you thought that artificial

:20:44. > :20:46.intelligence is the stuff It surrounds us every day, most

:20:47. > :20:50.commonly in all of our smartphones. Our devices learn something about us

:20:51. > :20:53.each time we use them. But this morning, a new report says

:20:54. > :20:57.the UK should be doing more Breakfast's Tim Muffett

:20:58. > :21:19.is at a data lab in Manchester. Good morning to you. I am at UK

:21:27. > :21:31.website there is a good chance that the information you have shared is

:22:25. > :22:30.common cause of blindness in Europe and America. Nice and wide.

:22:31. > :22:34.Age-related macular degeneration. There is no cure, but scanners like

:22:35. > :22:39.this allowed doctors to identify and manage the condition. I look for

:22:40. > :22:44.signs of bleeding or leakage of fluid under the retina. At more

:22:45. > :22:48.scanners means more scans, which they need analysing by specialists

:22:49. > :22:51.such as Pearce keen. If you go and have a cheque for your glasses, you

:22:52. > :22:57.will often be offered to haven't scan done. If there is any deviation

:22:58. > :23:01.from the normal, no matter how slight, they will refer patients in

:23:02. > :23:04.earlier to the hospital services -- Pearse Keen. And for the patients

:23:05. > :23:09.who do have the really severe conditions, they are not getting

:23:44. > :23:46.National science Academy. Today it is warning that businesses, schools,

:23:47. > :23:51.the health service and government need to embrace it more effectively.

:23:52. > :23:56.We're at an early stage, and we need to think about how society copes

:23:57. > :23:59.with those changes, and how we do it a way that the benefits of machine

:24:00. > :24:03.learning entries are social well-being, and our health and

:24:04. > :24:08.fitness in society, rather than increasing inequalities. The royals

:24:09. > :24:10.as society wants machine learning integrated into UK business

:24:11. > :24:14.strategy. More sophisticated digital skills taught in schools and

:24:15. > :24:19.universities. And clearer rules on data ownership. Should medical

:24:20. > :24:22.information, for example, be shared with private companies? Is there a

:24:23. > :24:27.danger here, when it comes to patient privacy? This is historical

:24:28. > :24:33.data, which we have completely not amazed. What I want to do is simply

:24:34. > :24:38.allow a patient to be seen within 24 hours. One London brewery is using

:25:16. > :25:17.information? Not as far as this business is concerned. The glass is

:25:18. > :25:30.half full, not half empty. It is worth stressing that machine

:25:31. > :25:34.learning refers to the ability to crunch data stored in places like

:25:35. > :25:39.this and to carry out specific tasks very well, often better than humans.

:25:40. > :25:43.It is a kind of phenomenon which has sort of crept up on us, really.

:25:44. > :25:47.Within this report by the Royal Society is a survey which says that

:25:48. > :25:50.only 9% of us really have heard of the term machine learning, and yet

:25:51. > :25:54.it is something that affects pretty much all of us. As I said in the

:25:55. > :25:58.report, when we use our smartphones or when we go into a social media

:25:59. > :26:04.site. Places like this is where huge amounts of data are stored, data

:26:05. > :26:10.which is changing the world in which we live.

:35:00. > :35:02.parents, when our house was collapsing when we were growing up

:35:03. > :35:09.they decided to paint what they thought was possible white. It was

:35:10. > :35:13.actually a fluorescent yellow. And we lived in Crawley near Gatwick and

:35:14. > :35:19.when you flew out of Gatwick, you could see this huge yellow

:35:20. > :35:25.fluorescent thing. It was our house. They probably used it to land. At

:35:26. > :35:31.least you had no problem to direct a taxi home at the end of the night.

:35:32. > :35:35.Talking about stripes, congratulations to the magpies for

:40:57. > :41:00.and ultimately abandoned overseas, Breakfast's John Maguire

:41:01. > :41:10.is with Tracey this morning. Good morning to you all in the

:41:11. > :41:14.studio. An absolutely stunning morning down here on the South

:41:15. > :41:18.course. This boat has not been in this neck of the woods for a while

:41:19. > :41:23.with the group, they have not been here for 27 years altogether. It is

:41:24. > :41:27.not look like much, does not look like much compared to so many of the

:41:28. > :41:32.other magnificent boats in the marina here but the plan is to

:41:33. > :41:37.refurbish it, to get it back sailing once again with the original crew

:41:38. > :41:51.that broke that record so many years ago in the round the world race.

:41:52. > :41:54.This is the BBC report from 1990. A triumphant maiden sales home after

:41:55. > :41:59.33,000 miles. They had been written off as no hopers before the race had

:42:00. > :42:03.even begun. But here they were, nine months later, receiving a heroine's

:42:04. > :42:11.welcome. At 11 o'clock on the dot, the moment they had struggled so

:42:12. > :42:15.hard to achieve. Tracy Edwards from Hampshire and her all-female crew

:42:16. > :42:21.had done it. Sailing into a well-deserved place in history. We

:42:22. > :42:27.present Tracy with her prize for coming second. They were exhausted

:42:28. > :42:33.and hungry. They had run out of food supplies days ago. But the thousands

:42:34. > :42:36.who turned out to greet them made it an emotional end to a remarkable

:42:37. > :42:43.campaign that has inspired millions more all over the world. It is a bit

:42:44. > :42:47.of a sorry sight in a funny kind of way. I don't think Tracy will like

:42:48. > :42:51.me to say that. These are some of the old sales and it really does

:42:52. > :42:55.need an enormous amount of work. Let's go and have a chat to Tracy,

:42:56. > :42:59.one of the crew, Tanya as well. Tracy will be familiar to those of

:43:00. > :43:04.you who remember her exploits from 1990. What is the idea? Why is it

:43:05. > :43:08.important to bring the boat back? She was abandoned about five years

:43:09. > :43:12.ago and we heard about it a few years ago and saw, you know, we need

:43:13. > :43:18.to rescue her. She is so important to us. She is part of history. She

:43:19. > :43:22.has been writing oversees the par-4 years what we have been raising

:43:23. > :43:27.funds to get back. She is back now, not a great state, unfortunately.

:43:28. > :43:32.There is about one years worth of work to do here. But the whole

:43:33. > :43:35.project now is called the Maidens Max factor and this is all about

:43:36. > :43:39.empowering girls and empowering women and we will be raising money

:43:40. > :43:45.for girls education. Tanya, you were one of the original crew. You have

:43:46. > :43:50.gone off and another things in the last 27 years. Yes. I have been

:43:51. > :43:58.working as a dentist, being a mother, I have two children and

:43:59. > :44:08.working with horses. What made you come back? The project. The new

:44:09. > :44:14.factor and, of course, seeing her, everybody after 27 years, that is

:44:15. > :44:18.really special. What a reunion. And the timescale, how long do you think

:44:19. > :44:23.it will take to get the boat refurbished, and to get it seaworthy

:44:24. > :44:27.again? She is taking on water, isn't she? Not right now, I think we will

:44:28. > :44:34.make it to the end of the broadcast. There was a hole in the whole that

:44:35. > :44:38.the girls took turns to stick their finger in. She will come out of the

:44:39. > :44:42.water later today and she would go into shed that she was in the last

:44:43. > :44:46.time we rescued her. This is the second time. And then she will have

:44:47. > :44:50.a refit for one year so a complete restoration. Then in one years time

:44:51. > :44:54.she will look her gorgeous self as she did 27 years ago. And then we

:44:55. > :44:58.will launch in June next year in London so we will let everyone know

:44:59. > :45:03.the date for that and then we will do a week next year and then we will

:45:04. > :45:07.set sail on a three-year world to or to raise awareness of the education

:45:08. > :45:10.of women who currently do not have that right. Thank you so much for

:45:11. > :45:15.talking to this morning. Much more from us later on in the programme.

:45:16. > :45:19.You would not expect anything less than a huge global ambition from

:45:20. > :45:23.Tracy Edwards, would you? She and her boat and her crew are back and

:45:24. > :45:28.we will see how we go in the next year or so.

:45:29. > :45:36.It looks like a great day to be out and about in the water. Blue sky,

:45:37. > :45:41.but you can see they all have their coats on. It is a bit chilly. There

:45:42. > :45:46.is quite a bit of snow are about as well. Good morning to you. As I said

:45:47. > :45:50.earlier, our Weather Watchers have been up early. This is a picture

:45:51. > :45:53.from Aviemore. Look at the snow in Aviemore. At the moment there is

:45:54. > :45:58.eight centimetres of lying snow, there was known earlier. The other

:45:59. > :46:02.thing is, it is windy, particular in the north. That snow is blowing in

:46:03. > :46:06.if you are travelling in the Highlands this morning, and

:46:07. > :46:10.visibility will be poor. Many of us it is a cold and frosty start, and

:46:11. > :46:13.through the day there will be further wintry showers almost

:46:14. > :46:17.anywhere. If you do see any snow at low levels, we don't expect it to

:46:18. > :46:21.settle. What is happening today is this cold arctic errors flooding

:46:22. > :46:24.right across the UK. We also have some wintry showers in the north at

:46:25. > :46:28.the moment. Parts of the East, Northern Ireland, Wales and East

:46:29. > :46:33.Anglia. As we come further south, the spacing of the isobars tells you

:46:34. > :46:36.it is not as windy, but it will be gusty around the showers. This

:46:37. > :46:40.morning we continue with those wintry showers, even at low levels,

:46:41. > :46:44.across Scotland in the north there will be some sunshine. Wintry

:46:45. > :46:47.showers in north-east Scotland and south-east Scotland, Northern

:46:48. > :46:50.Ireland, around about Northumberland, for example. Move

:46:51. > :46:54.away from that and at the moment it is largely dry. There are some

:46:55. > :46:58.sunshine around, but it does feel cold and the breeze is much lighter

:46:59. > :47:01.as we come further south. A few showers around the coast of Wales in

:47:02. > :47:05.south-west England this morning. Through the course of the day what

:47:06. > :47:10.you will notice is the showers will become more widespread, and anyway

:47:11. > :47:17.there is the potential for a bit of wintry conditions. In between them,

:47:18. > :47:20.there will be some sunshine. As you see the showers falling, the

:47:21. > :47:23.temperature will dip in although temperature values may be up to

:47:24. > :47:28.about nine today, in the wind it will feel much colder than that

:47:29. > :47:32.against your skin. As we head on through the evening and overnight we

:47:33. > :47:36.have a ridge of high pressure building in from the west. There

:47:37. > :47:39.will still be a lot of showers to start with, but through the night

:47:40. > :47:43.some of the showers in the west will be killed off. We will hang on to

:47:44. > :47:47.them through the east and through central areas and you will find

:47:48. > :47:50.still the chance it will be wintry. These temperatures, between one and

:47:51. > :47:55.four are in towns and cities. In rural areas it will be lower than

:47:56. > :47:59.this. The risk of some frost. High pressure builds on from the west,

:48:00. > :48:03.settling things down in the west. In the east it will be some showers,

:48:04. > :48:06.and another system coming from the north-west late on the date on

:48:07. > :48:10.Wednesday introducing thicker cloud and some patchy rain. In between

:48:11. > :48:14.there will be some dry and bright weather with some sunshine. Showers

:48:15. > :48:18.in the east and it will not be as windy. It will not feel as cold

:48:19. > :48:23.across the North as it is going to today. A subtle change in wind

:48:24. > :48:26.direction. Today we are looking at a northerly, tomorrow north-westerly.

:48:27. > :48:30.As we head on from Wednesday to Thursday, look what happens. The

:48:31. > :48:35.cold air is usurped by this milder air coming across our shores. If a

:48:36. > :48:40.disk too cold for you at the moment, things will improve. We really have

:48:41. > :48:42.to do watch out for those temperatures -- if it is too cold

:48:43. > :48:44.for you. More than half of small businesses

:48:45. > :48:47.with EU workers in the UK are worried about finding

:48:48. > :48:50.the skilled staff they need after Britain leaves

:48:51. > :48:59.the European Union. Good morning. There are still a lot

:49:00. > :49:01.of people trying to figure out what it is going to mean when we leave

:49:02. > :49:02.the EU. Not least small businesses. The Federation of Small Businesses

:49:03. > :49:05.represents over 200,000 small and medium sized firms up

:49:06. > :49:07.and down the country, and it says around a fifth of them

:49:08. > :49:11.currently employ EU staff. Because we are part of the EU,

:49:12. > :49:14.there is a free movement of people between the 28 countries,

:49:15. > :49:17.but that is likely to change So what might the new

:49:18. > :49:22.system look like? Mike Cherry is from the Federation

:49:23. > :49:34.of Small Businesses. What would you like to see happen?

:49:35. > :49:39.That we have seen within those figures, lots of your members employ

:49:40. > :49:43.EU workers, and they are worried. I think if you look at these

:49:44. > :49:47.statistics, absolutely right. One in five of our members employ EU

:49:48. > :49:51.nationals, and I think it is important to recognise that, as we

:49:52. > :49:55.go through the negotiations and through Brexit, it is important that

:49:56. > :49:59.small businesses have the ability to keep those EU nationals, and also to

:50:00. > :50:03.be able to employ the right people with the right skills for the right

:50:04. > :50:07.jobs. So what systems do you think there should be in place? There

:50:08. > :50:11.needs to be something simple. It shouldn't be based on occupation, on

:50:12. > :50:15.sector, which is what the government likes to put in place. It must be

:50:16. > :50:19.based on something that small businesses can work with. Less

:50:20. > :50:23.bureaucracy than we seem to have at the moment, with the non-EU visa

:50:24. > :50:28.system, and make it very easy and responsive to what business is

:50:29. > :50:31.actually need. So you think, therefore, that companies should

:50:32. > :50:36.still be able to employ EU nationals, even when we have left?

:50:37. > :50:42.They will have to employ EU nationals, because when you look at

:50:43. > :50:46.our skill base, it is those businesses which will need to employ

:50:47. > :50:50.members, about a third need those with high skills and about a fifth

:50:51. > :50:54.need those with no skills. What it is the middle sector which is

:50:55. > :50:58.crucial for more businesses. Why do we struggle to find people in this

:50:59. > :51:02.country with those skills? Why do we look for people in other countries,

:51:03. > :51:06.given we still have people who are unemployed in this country. You have

:51:07. > :51:09.hit the nail on the head. We do still have a lot of people

:51:10. > :51:13.unemployed in this country, but we also have more job vacancies than

:51:14. > :51:16.those unemployed people. So it is clear that we have a technical

:51:17. > :51:20.skills gap in this country, which is not going to be dealt with straight

:51:21. > :51:26.after Brexit in two or three years' time. It is a long-term change which

:51:27. > :51:30.needs to happen. We very much welcome the government's reflection

:51:31. > :51:34.now that vocational will be treated as equal to academic skills, so we

:51:35. > :51:38.have the long-term vision, but short term will be the problem. So it is

:51:39. > :51:43.about people here with the wrong skills? Basically yes. Theresa May

:51:44. > :51:47.has said one of the messages which was really clear from the Brexit

:51:48. > :51:52.vote is that people want to control immigration. So there has to be some

:51:53. > :51:57.system in place. I think everybody accepts there has to be a system,

:51:58. > :52:02.but what we need is something responsive to what people's needs

:52:03. > :52:07.are, and to bureaucratic needs. That's it for me. Changing subject

:52:08. > :52:09.entirely,... A gun-toting raccoon,

:52:10. > :52:12.a talking tree, and a bright They are all part of an unlikely

:52:13. > :52:16.band of superheroes that made Guardians of the Galaxy a huge

:52:17. > :52:19.Hollywood hit for the Marvel franchise, and now they are back

:52:20. > :52:22.to save the universe again. Volume two sees Chris Pratt

:52:23. > :52:24.return as the Star-Lord, and there is a surprise in store

:52:25. > :52:28.in the shape of Kurt Russell, I caught up with them both,

:52:29. > :52:41.and asked what we can expect If the first one is about becoming a

:52:42. > :52:45.family, this is about being a family, isn't it? Yes, that's right.

:52:46. > :52:48.That's a great way to put it, yes. There were elements of emotion in

:52:49. > :52:53.the first movie which is the tone, and I think it is irreverent and

:52:54. > :52:57.colourful, and wow, there is a great soundtrack, it is a lot of laughs

:52:58. > :53:01.and emotion, it is the same as the first movie in that regard. But

:53:02. > :53:04.everything is a little heightened. I think the last a little bigger. The

:53:05. > :53:08.action is bigger, and the emotion is deeper. Sometimes the thing you are

:53:09. > :53:13.searching for your whole life is right there by your side all along.

:53:14. > :53:21.You're right. All you do is yell at each other. You are not friends. No.

:53:22. > :53:26.We are family. And in terms of the humour, which was so integral to the

:53:27. > :53:34.first one, I mean, I said to someone the counted love out loud moments.

:53:35. > :53:38.That is a high number. You might sit through an entire comedy... I was

:53:39. > :53:43.about to say, you are an easy target! I do think it was

:53:44. > :53:49.intentionally funny. Don't push this button! Because that will set off

:53:50. > :54:00.the bomb immediately, and we will all be dead. Now repeat back what I

:54:01. > :54:04.just said. I am Groot. No, that is the button that will kill everyone!

:54:05. > :54:11.What is it like working next to Kurt Russell? Is a tough? I told you it

:54:12. > :54:15.was not going to be easy! No, it has been great. It has been really call.

:54:16. > :54:19.There are some few career paths where you can look at someone who is

:54:20. > :54:23.a legend or an icon to you, and then come to the point where you are,

:54:24. > :54:28.like, holy cow, I am working intimately with this person now. You

:54:29. > :54:32.know, I had to get it out of the way, and when I first saw Kurt and

:54:33. > :54:37.met Kurt and told what a big fan I am, I had obligatory moment. Was

:54:38. > :54:45.that embarrassing? No, no, it is nice. It is nice. I just like that

:54:46. > :54:51.he liked me. I did, I did, and then I got to know... Where you build-up

:54:52. > :55:00.an imaginary person in your mind... After all these years, I have found

:55:01. > :55:06.you. And who the hell are you? I am your dad. Perhaps foolishly, I asked

:55:07. > :55:10.the world of social media for some questions for you. Just a few to

:55:11. > :55:14.finish on. Do either of you, or does anyone get a say on what music is

:55:15. > :55:18.used in the film? It is written into the script, it is decided before we

:55:19. > :55:22.get it. No choice, OK. Have either of you got a favourite snack from

:55:23. > :55:27.your time in the UK. You have been here a while, haven't you? Yes. And?

:55:28. > :55:35.Probably jellied eel. Really, you are into that? No! No! What is wrong

:55:36. > :55:41.with you people? You are starting to insult the jellied eel. It looks

:55:42. > :55:50.bad. You don't want to even look at it. Fish and chips, I guess, fish

:55:51. > :55:55.and chips. I like pub food, just pub food. Final one, and quite a few

:55:56. > :56:00.others, who would win a game of thumb war between you two. Have you

:56:01. > :56:06.ever played a game of thumb war? We haven't got time. Were you any good

:56:07. > :56:11.at that? It could take us a while. I am glad you have an answer that. It

:56:12. > :56:12.has been an absolute pleasure. Thank you, thank you.

:56:13. > :56:22.I love that Kurt... He was straight up for the thumb war. He was right

:56:23. > :56:29.in there, but I think Chris Pratt is a big lad. He makes you look like...

:56:30. > :56:40.Well, I am incredibly muscular. And he lost 60 pounds, about four stone

:56:41. > :56:43.for the film. I loved my head off basically the entire film.

:56:44. > :56:46.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol two is out on Friday.

:56:47. > :00:06.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:00:07. > :00:13.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:00:14. > :00:16.Hello this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

:00:17. > :00:18.Labour promises a new plan for Brexit.

:00:19. > :00:19.They say they'd scrap Theresa May's strategy,

:00:20. > :00:29.and would guarantee the rights of EU citizens in the UK

:00:30. > :00:33.The Conservatives say they're the only party with a clear vision

:00:34. > :00:52.Good morning, it's Tuesday the 25th of April.

:00:53. > :00:56.Also this morning, Sir Elton John cancels a series of shows in the US

:00:57. > :00:58.after spending two nights in intensive care.

:00:59. > :01:01.His management team says he suffered a potentially deadly infection.

:01:02. > :01:11.15, 20 years ago, if they were born extremely prematurely, no one was

:01:12. > :01:13.surprised if they had died. And now, we fight for every baby as long and

:01:14. > :01:16.as hard as we can. Hope for the most premature babies,

:01:17. > :01:19.as survival rates increase for those British world champion cyclist

:01:20. > :01:22.Lizzie Armitstead feared her career would be over when she was accused

:01:23. > :01:26.of missing three drugs tests. She'll be here to tell

:01:27. > :01:30.us her side of the story. The owner of coffee chain Costa

:01:43. > :01:49.to the Premier League with victory We've been to meet the Guardians

:01:50. > :01:56.of the Galaxy, Kurt Russell and Chris Pratt, so what do

:01:57. > :02:12.they like about being in Britain? Probably a jellied eel. Really, are

:02:13. > :02:16.you into that? No, no. What is wrong with you people?

:02:17. > :02:26.We still have a cold feel being accentuated. During the day, we

:02:27. > :02:34.don't expect the sunshine to settle. Do remember to wrap up warmly. I

:02:35. > :02:35.will have your full weather later in the bulletin.

:02:36. > :02:40.Labour will set out its policy on Brexit today following weeks

:02:41. > :02:41.of criticism that its position is confused.

:02:42. > :02:45.The Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer will today say a Labour

:02:46. > :02:47.government would unilaterally guarantee the rights of EU citizens

:02:48. > :02:50.in the UK on day one of taking power.

:02:51. > :02:52.He'll promise to prioritise the economy in Brexit negotiations,

:02:53. > :02:55.aiming to keep the benefits of the single market

:02:56. > :02:59.He'll also say Labour will bring in new legislation to transfer

:03:00. > :03:01.relevant EU laws to Britain to protect employment and consumer

:03:02. > :03:07.rights as well as environmental regulations.

:03:08. > :03:13.Here's our political correspondent, Eleanor Garnier.

:03:14. > :03:18.When it came to a vote, Labour supported legislation giving

:03:19. > :03:21.Theresa May the power to trigger the start of negotiations

:03:22. > :03:25.But, so far, Labour has struggled to present its own clear

:03:26. > :03:28.Now the party's shadow Brexit Secretary will attempt

:03:29. > :03:32.Sir Keir Starmer will say today a Labour

:03:33. > :03:34.government would unilaterally guarantee the rights of EU citizens

:03:35. > :03:40.in the UK on day one of taking power.

:03:41. > :03:43.And Sir Keir Starmer will also promise to prioritise the economy

:03:44. > :03:45.in negotiations, aiming to keep the benefits of the single

:03:46. > :03:53.He will say that Labour will reject the Conservative's repeal bill

:03:54. > :03:55.and bring in new legislation to transfer

:03:56. > :03:58.relevant EU laws to Britain, to protect employment and consumer

:03:59. > :04:10.rights as well as environmental regulations.

:04:11. > :04:13.When it comes to negotiating with other EU leaders,

:04:14. > :04:15.the Labour government, Sir Keir Starmer will say,

:04:16. > :04:17.will build a close relationship with the European

:04:18. > :04:19.Union, not as members, but as partners.

:04:20. > :04:21.Theresa May will again stress strong leadership

:04:22. > :04:35.to see the country through Brexit and beyond.

:04:36. > :04:38.Let's speak to our political correspondent Alex Forsyth

:04:39. > :04:49.We are a few days into this, we seem to be getting cleared policy

:04:50. > :04:55.indications? -- clear? Absolutely, Theresa May will speak to her

:04:56. > :04:59.Cabinet and then head out on the campaign trail. She will be making

:05:00. > :05:05.central argument to the Conservative campaign at this early stage. The

:05:06. > :05:08.first is around leadership, only the Conservatives could offer the strong

:05:09. > :05:13.leadership that the country needs to tackle Brexit and beyond. She will

:05:14. > :05:17.be trying to make the argument that unless you vote for the

:05:18. > :05:22.Conservatives, then you will get a coalition. That is something that

:05:23. > :05:25.the other parties have ruled out. Theresa May will continue to make

:05:26. > :05:31.the case as she goes to Wales. That is significant in its own right,

:05:32. > :05:34.because that is traditional Labour territory. By going there, Theresa

:05:35. > :05:38.May will show that she is confident that she can win over some of those

:05:39. > :05:45.Labour voters, including some of those who act Brexit. She will be

:05:46. > :05:48.boosted by recent opinion polls, but there are still six weeks to go.

:05:49. > :05:51.We'll speak to Labour's Barry Gardiner, Shadow Secretary of State

:05:52. > :05:54.for International Trade, at just after 8 o'clock this morning.

:05:55. > :05:57.Sir Elton John has cancelled a series of shows in America

:05:58. > :06:00.after falling ill with what's been described as a potentially

:06:01. > :06:04.The singer - who's 70 - spent 2 nights in intensive care

:06:05. > :06:06.after contracting the illness while on tour in Chile

:06:07. > :06:12.He's now out of hospital and recovering at home,

:06:13. > :06:23.Ever the showman, Sir Elton John has instead been in the hands of doctors

:06:24. > :06:27.over the last fortnight, having been taken seriously ill.

:06:28. > :06:30.He was on his way back from Chile when he was struck down

:06:31. > :06:33.by what his medical team quickly identified as a rare and potentially

:06:34. > :06:38.He was admitted to hospital in the UK, where he spent two nights

:06:39. > :06:49.Sir Elton, who is 70, wasn't able to go home for some

:06:50. > :06:52.time, but it has emerged he was discharged a few days ago.

:06:53. > :06:56.It has meant he has had to cancel tour dates at Caesar's Palace in Las

:06:57. > :07:00.In a statement, the star spoke of him being fortunate to have such

:07:01. > :07:02.loyal fans, and he apologised for disappointing them.

:07:03. > :07:06.He said he was extremely grateful to his medical team for looking

:07:07. > :07:09.The singer is expected to make a full recovery,

:07:10. > :07:12.and is already planning a return to the stage in June.

:07:13. > :07:17.Until then, the Rocket Man will be taking it easy.

:07:18. > :07:20.A work permits system for EU citizens, similar to one operating

:07:21. > :07:22.in Sweden, should be introduced after Brexit,

:07:23. > :07:28.according to the Federation of Small Businesses.

:07:29. > :07:32.It's done a survey which found that over half of small firms that employ

:07:33. > :07:35.EU workers are concerned they won't be able to find skilled

:07:36. > :07:36.workers after Britain leaves the union.

:07:37. > :07:40.The Government says Brexit will mean leaving the single market and ending

:07:41. > :07:52.It shouldn't be based on occupation, that is what the government likes to

:07:53. > :07:56.be put in place. It must be based on something that small businesses can

:10:53. > :10:57.on to experience serious developmental problems,

:10:58. > :10:59.as they did in the mid 90s. It's just over a year since Radio 5

:11:00. > :11:03.Live presenter Rachel Burden had her baby boy,

:11:04. > :11:08.Henry, at 31 weeks. She's been back to Burnley General

:11:09. > :11:24.Teaching Hospital to speak Twinkle, twinkle, little style. My

:11:25. > :11:30.son was born nine weeks early. He is my fourth child, but his early

:11:31. > :11:37.arrival came as a complete shock to me -- star. I had developed severe

:11:38. > :11:43.pre-eclampsia, the doctors decided they needed to deliver the baby by

:11:44. > :11:48.emergency C section. When he was born, I remember him being lifted up

:11:49. > :11:55.and shown to me. He was this tiny little scrawny sort of purple

:11:56. > :12:04.creature, and I thought, wow, that's my baby. I can't believe it just

:12:05. > :12:08.over a year now. A lot has changed. When I walked in here after seeing

:12:09. > :12:14.Henry for the first time, he was having breathing support and was

:12:15. > :12:19.covered in tubes and wires, what was going on with him? At 31 weeks, he

:12:20. > :12:26.wasn't doing too badly? Henry needed a bit of help with his breathing,

:12:27. > :12:33.which is not unusual for a baby born at his gestation. It is scary for

:12:34. > :12:38.parents, they feel separated from their babies in a plastic box, there

:12:39. > :12:42.are many tubes and wires and it is very intimidating. We understand

:12:43. > :12:46.that and we have to help the parents through that. We try to reach out as

:12:47. > :12:53.much as possible. Is likely to meet you and your baby Jensen. Born at 24

:12:54. > :13:04.weeks. That is amazing, tell us about Jensen -- It's. He was 710 g.

:13:05. > :13:10.He was literally this big. He weighed nothing when I picked up

:13:11. > :13:14.from his incubator. It is really hard to know how much you can touch

:13:15. > :13:20.and handle them. I found that process of getting to know your baby

:13:21. > :13:28.really tough. I think it was about seven weeks before we got to hold

:13:29. > :13:36.him properly. Seven weeks? What was that like? You can't describe it, it

:13:37. > :13:44.is just this rush that comes, oh my god, this is my child. I've got to

:13:45. > :13:47.protect him. 15, 20 years ago, if they were born extremely

:13:48. > :13:52.prematurely, no one was surprised if a 24 week old baby died. Now, we

:13:53. > :13:59.fight for every baby as long and hard as we can. They are doing an

:14:00. > :14:03.amazing job, they? I don't think we would be where they are without the

:14:04. > :14:08.staff who are so supportive of this. He is growing well. Some amazing

:14:09. > :14:18.stories. That was Rachel Burden speaking

:14:19. > :14:21.to the parents of baby Jenson there. You can hear more of Rachel's story

:14:22. > :14:25.throughout the day on BBC Radio 5 We're joined now by Dr Lydia Bowden,

:14:26. > :14:28.a consultant neonatologist, and by Rachel Corry and her son

:14:29. > :14:38.Hugo, who was born at just under 25 Lovely to see you. He is a bit of a

:14:39. > :14:43.grabber. He was born just under 25 weeks. Yes. I have another son

:14:44. > :14:48.called Adam, a completely normal pregnancy with him. Three years

:14:49. > :14:52.later, I became regnant twins. They were born just on 23 weeks and were

:14:53. > :14:56.too young to survive, so they died. We don't know why they were born

:14:57. > :15:02.prematurely. When I became pregnant with you go, we kept an extra eye on

:15:03. > :15:09.him. At 21 weeks, it showed that he was about to arrive. I was put on

:15:10. > :15:13.hospital bed rest for three - four weeks, then it looked like I was

:15:14. > :15:18.getting an infection so he needed to come out. I was transferred to St

:15:19. > :15:22.Mary 's Hospital, where he was transferred. I spent the next seven

:15:23. > :15:30.months in hospital... That is an awfully long time. He is 19 months

:15:31. > :15:34.old, happy and healthy? Absolutely. Still a bit small, but apart from

:15:35. > :15:38.that he is doing very well. He has had a whole range of medical issues

:15:39. > :15:47.while in hospital, but he has gotten over most of them now. Getting on

:15:48. > :15:54.well. Here is a picture, six months from now, when Hugo was born? It is

:15:55. > :16:01.just staggering, he was just tiny, especially when you look at him now.

:16:02. > :16:06.He weighed about 702 g. This is part of your job, helping these very tiny

:16:07. > :16:08.babies. There are things that happen, have you seen things changed

:16:09. > :16:19.massively? I started working in the area of

:16:20. > :16:23.neonatologist in 1989 when babies warn about 28 weeks mostly didn't

:16:24. > :16:29.survive. In my career now that is completely reversed. The vast

:16:30. > :16:33.majority of babies born at that time now will survive with good out

:16:34. > :16:37.comes. We have seen a lot of changes, and a lot of that is due to

:16:38. > :16:41.understanding and better care when mums are pregnant, using things like

:16:42. > :16:48.antenatal steroids, that reduce a lot of the competitions of maturity,

:16:49. > :16:53.particularly breathing difficulties and problems with bleeding into the

:16:54. > :16:57.brain, which can cause a lot of problems -- complications. We have

:16:58. > :17:01.also got a lot better at technology, so we have the ability now to

:17:02. > :17:04.ventilate babies with ventilators which are very sophisticated, and

:17:05. > :17:14.can take into account the breathing of babies. We use medicines now to

:17:15. > :17:19.help mature lungs, which has made huge differences to outcomes, so as

:17:20. > :17:25.you saw earlier on, we are looking after babies at 23 and 24 weeks now

:17:26. > :17:29.as well. And how have the rest of the family reacted? How has your son

:17:30. > :17:35.who is six reacted to Hugo and what you are going through as a family?

:17:36. > :17:39.He has been remarkable, he has been amazing. He started school just a

:17:40. > :17:43.week after Hugo was born, so there were a lot of changes all at the

:17:44. > :17:47.same time. He has been very enthusiastic about Hugo. The day he

:17:48. > :17:52.came out of an incubator and got into a cot was the day he became a

:17:53. > :17:58.proper baby for Adam, and since then they have been each other's biggest

:17:59. > :18:02.fans. And there is so much involved in all of this, isn't that? Seven

:18:03. > :18:08.months in hospital can have a massive impact, can't it, on family,

:18:09. > :18:14.on wider family as well. Definitely. I am a mother of four myself, and

:18:15. > :18:21.one of the first in instincts when you have a baby is want to hold and

:18:22. > :18:25.feed the baby. And that can be challenging. I think a lot of work

:18:26. > :18:29.has now gone into helping mothers and fathers get familiar with that

:18:30. > :18:33.environment. We encourage babies to come out and have cuddles

:18:34. > :18:42.straightaway. That helps with their breathing, it helps with how they

:18:43. > :18:46.are growing. We are also aware of the environment, not just for mums

:18:47. > :18:49.and dads, but also on babies as well. It helps improve their

:18:50. > :18:57.development. So the importance of having quiet time, and encouraging

:18:58. > :19:01.noise levels and light levels, can make a big difference. He has

:19:02. > :19:06.started a bit of a striptease! Thank you very much indeed. It is lovely

:19:07. > :19:12.to see you. Thank you very much for bringing in Hugo. He is a bit of a

:19:13. > :19:20.heartbreaker, this one. The full Tintin fringe, throwing things

:19:21. > :19:24.around. And details for organisations offering support for

:19:25. > :19:25.premature birth are available on our website.

:19:26. > :19:29.Here is Carol, with a look at this morning's weather.

:19:30. > :19:35.Good morning all. It is a cold start to the day. Some of us have also got

:19:36. > :19:39.some wintry showers. At the moment in Aviemore, for example, we have

:19:40. > :19:43.eight centimetres of lying snow and a cold start across England, with

:19:44. > :19:47.temperatures hovering around freezing. This cold air is coming

:19:48. > :19:51.straight down from the Arctic and is right across all of our shores, down

:19:52. > :19:55.towards the Channel Islands and the near continent. We also have a

:19:56. > :19:58.strong northerly wind which is blowing in a lot of showers. So

:19:59. > :20:02.atrocious travelling conditions across the Highlands this morning,

:20:03. > :20:06.with the snow being blown around. The showers continue, but in between

:20:07. > :20:09.them they will be some sunshine. We have sunshine and showers across

:20:10. > :20:14.Northern Ireland. You could still see a wintry mix in there as well.

:20:15. > :20:17.And some of the showers getting on towards Northumberland, for example.

:20:18. > :20:21.For much of England and Wales it is mostly dry. A few showers in East

:20:22. > :20:25.Anglia, a few showers across Wales, and a few showers across south-west

:20:26. > :20:30.England, but has become further south, the wind is not as strong.

:20:31. > :20:33.Nonetheless, if you are exposed to the northerly today, you will feel

:20:34. > :20:36.it. Through the afternoon we will see further showers develop, and

:20:37. > :20:41.almost anywhere they could have a wintry element. But if you see some

:20:42. > :20:45.snow, we don't expect it to settle. Around the showers, the wind will

:20:46. > :20:49.pick up, it will be blustery around it, and the temperature could drop.

:20:50. > :20:55.Our range of six to 13 will feel more like freezing two -1, to about

:20:56. > :20:59.past seven or eight. That is the effect of the wind, it is the

:21:00. > :21:03.windshield. As we haven't through the evening and overnight, a ridge

:21:04. > :21:07.of high pressure starts to build in from the west. There will still be

:21:08. > :21:10.some coastal showers around, but a lot of them are likely to be in

:21:11. > :21:14.central and eastern areas, as well as in the north, and some of those

:21:15. > :21:19.could well be wintry. Temperatures between one and four in the cities,

:21:20. > :21:23.cooler in rural areas. Once again the risk of ice on untreated areas,

:21:24. > :21:27.and there could be frost. Tomorrow, high pressure in the Atlantic early

:21:28. > :21:31.on from the west will squeeze a lot of the showers towards the east, and

:21:32. > :21:34.later we have another system which is going to increase the cloud

:21:35. > :21:40.across Scotland Northern Ireland, and bring in some patchy rain. West

:21:41. > :21:43.is best in terms of sunshine and dry conditions tomorrow. There will

:21:44. > :21:47.still be some showers towards the coastline but most will be towards

:21:48. > :21:51.Central and eastern parts. Tomorrow will not feel is called across the

:21:52. > :21:55.west. A subtle wind direction change. Today this from the north

:21:56. > :21:59.and tomorrow from the north-west. It will still feel cool in the south.

:22:00. > :22:03.Here is the cold air on Wednesday, but look what happens as you go

:22:04. > :22:08.through Thursday and Friday. This mild air topples right across the UK

:22:09. > :22:13.and temperatures start to pick up. There is still a lot of uncertainty

:22:14. > :22:17.as to what is going to happen as we head into next week, what it is a

:22:18. > :22:20.model that is showing that somewhere in the UK, more likely in the

:22:21. > :22:23.south-east, by the middle of next week we could be looking at

:22:24. > :22:27.temperatures back into the 20s Celsius. If this is too cold for

:22:28. > :22:31.you, at least there is some hope on the horizon. Love a bit of hope on

:22:32. > :22:36.the horizon. Thank you for the warning, we will wrap up warm. And

:22:37. > :22:40.Carol was talking about snow, if you want to send in your snow pictures,

:22:41. > :22:41.which seems a bit ridiculous, send in your pictures.

:22:42. > :22:44.If you thought that artificial intelligence is the stuff of science

:22:45. > :22:51.It surrounds us every day, most commonly in all of our smartphones.

:22:52. > :22:54.Our devices learn something about us each time we use them.

:22:55. > :22:58.But this morning, a new report says the UK should be doing more to make

:22:59. > :23:07.Breakfast's Tim Muffett is at a data lab in Manchester.

:23:08. > :23:14.It is magnificently lime green. Yes, I am colour-coordinated this

:23:15. > :23:18.morning. If you have ever bought anything online, or visit of a

:23:19. > :23:22.government website, there is a good chance that the information and data

:23:23. > :23:28.you shared is stored here. UKFast is one of the largest data storage

:23:29. > :23:33.centres in the UK. It is a very secure area. This kind of access is

:23:34. > :23:36.rare. The noise you can hear is the fans keeping cool the 20,000

:23:37. > :23:41.computer servers which are stored on this site. Here is a fact. It is

:23:42. > :23:46.thought 90% of the world's computer data was generated within the last

:23:47. > :23:51.five years. It is changing the way we live. It is allowing machines or

:23:52. > :23:56.computers to learn by analysing that data, and doing things in a way

:23:57. > :24:01.which are... In a way which is better than the way that humans can

:24:02. > :24:05.do. As you say, there is a warning this morning that we as a society

:24:06. > :24:05.need to wise up to this and grasp the potential.

:24:06. > :24:08.From medical research to the taste of beer,

:24:09. > :24:11.the impact of machine learning seems unstoppable.

:24:12. > :24:19.Elaine has the most common cause of blindness in Europe and America.

:24:20. > :24:25.There is no cure, but scanners like this allow doctors to identify

:24:26. > :24:30.I look for signs of bleeding or leakage of fluid

:24:31. > :24:36.But more scanners means more scans, which then need analysing

:24:37. > :24:45.If you go and have a check for your glasses, you'll often be

:24:46. > :24:57.If there's any deviation from the normal, no matter how

:24:58. > :24:58.slight, they will refer patients in urgently

:24:59. > :25:03.And, for the patients who do have the really severe conditions,

:25:04. > :25:04.they are not getting seen quickly enough.

:25:05. > :25:07.So Moorfields Eye Hospital has launched a project with DeepMind,

:25:08. > :25:09.an artificial intelligence company owned by Google.

:25:10. > :25:15.We're going to use artificial intelligence, or machine learning,

:25:16. > :25:17.to train an algorithm to recognise the commonest causes of blindness,

:25:18. > :25:20.to basically have automated analysis and triaging of these cases.

:25:21. > :25:24.Most of us encounter machine learning without realising.

:25:25. > :25:28.It is a type of artificial intelligence that allows our phones

:25:29. > :25:32.to recognise our voice, or can tag our face in a photo.

:25:33. > :25:34.The Royal Society is the UK's National Science Academy.

:25:35. > :25:38.Today, it is warning that businesses, schools,

:25:39. > :25:41.the health service, and government need to embrace it more effectively.

:25:42. > :25:44.We're at an early stage, and we need to think about how

:25:45. > :25:49.society copes with those changes, and how we do it a way

:25:50. > :25:52.that the benefits of machine learning increase our social

:25:53. > :25:54.well-being, and our health and fitness in society,

:25:55. > :26:00.The Royal Society wants machine learning integrated into UK business

:26:01. > :26:03.strategy, more sophisticated digital skills taught in schools

:26:04. > :26:06.and universities, and clearer rules on data ownership.

:26:07. > :26:08.Should medical information, for example, be shared

:26:09. > :26:18.Is there a danger here, when it comes to patient privacy?

:26:19. > :26:20.This is historical data, which we've completely anonymised.

:26:21. > :26:24.What I want to do is simply allow a patient to be seen

:26:25. > :26:34.Would you like the beer to have more or less smokiness?

:26:35. > :26:38.learning to continually tweak its products.

:26:39. > :26:39.We're creating beer, basically, using AI.

:26:40. > :26:43.Drinkers provide feedback, an algorithm crunches the data

:26:44. > :26:47.If your product is ever-changing, though, doesn't that present

:26:48. > :26:51.problems, and risk annoying some customers who liked it as it was?

:26:52. > :26:56.We're targeting customers who want new - newness, difference.

:26:57. > :26:59.We think there's lots of emotive products, things like coffee,

:27:00. > :27:03.perfume, chocolate, these are areas that can benefit

:27:04. > :27:07.Not as far as this business is concerned.

:27:08. > :27:13.The glass is half-full, not half-empty.

:27:14. > :27:20.And many believed machine learning, which is something that has crept up

:27:21. > :27:24.on us in the last few years. The Royal Society concluded that within

:27:25. > :27:28.a piece of research some 9% of people have really heard the term

:27:29. > :27:32.and understand what it means. And yet, as we saw there, it is

:27:33. > :27:36.something which affect all of us. All of that data and information is

:27:37. > :27:39.stored somewhere, places like this. As I said, this is one of the

:27:40. > :27:45.largest data storage facilities in the UK. All of that data, though, is

:27:46. > :27:50.giving machines the opportunity to learn, and to gain knowledge from

:27:51. > :27:56.their experience. It is changing the way in which we live. Should we do

:27:57. > :27:59.more to embrace that change, and beware of the potential pitfalls?

:28:00. > :28:04.The Royal Society certainly think so. And you have almost become part

:28:05. > :28:07.of that whole superstructure, haven't you? Blending in

:28:08. > :31:29.beautifully. It is all about the I'm back with the latest

:31:30. > :31:31.from the BBC London newsroom Hello, this is Breakfast

:31:32. > :31:45.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. The headlines: Labour is setting

:31:46. > :31:48.out its Brexit policy today, saying that the party

:31:49. > :31:51.would guarantee the rights of EU citizens living in the UK on day one

:39:29. > :39:32.coming on. Can you explain your side of the story? Would you have Britain

:39:33. > :39:36.this book is what happened last year had not happened? Yes, the book was

:39:37. > :39:39.always originally meant to come out just after Rio, but with the events

:39:40. > :39:43.that happened in the summer I thought it was only right that I

:39:44. > :39:48.added the extra chapters. I spent some time and I am really happy with

:39:49. > :39:54.the finished product. It is my own story and my chance to set the

:39:55. > :39:58.record straight. We all the headlines and we saw you going to

:39:59. > :40:10.reopen and how it affected you. Tell us about these three occasions. --

:40:11. > :40:17.we all saw. From your point of view, what happened? So, these events were

:40:18. > :40:24.in Sweden in August 2000 and 15. I put in the address of the hotel I

:40:25. > :40:27.was staying in in Sweden. A UK anti-doping officer went to the

:40:28. > :40:36.hotel and asked for my name at reception. They refused to give it

:40:37. > :40:45.to him. In a -- in that situation, normally they would just tell the

:40:46. > :40:49.reception is why they were there and try to sort it out. When I took it

:40:50. > :40:54.to the Court of arbitration, it was quickly dismissed. It was definitely

:40:55. > :41:00.not a loophole case as was suggested by the media. It was definitely the

:41:01. > :41:10.fault of the UK anti-doping officer in that case. And the others. In

:41:11. > :41:15.October 2015, I made a filing failure. I don't really want to go

:41:16. > :41:23.into detail... That was for personal reasons, wasn't it? It is very

:41:24. > :41:27.difficult, isn't it. If it were a Russian athlete, we would all feel

:41:28. > :41:34.very differently. You have been criticised by people inside cycling.

:41:35. > :41:41.Even Bradley Wiggins said it was ludicrous, those were his words. How

:41:42. > :41:45.do you respond to those comments? I suppose I would be one of those

:41:46. > :41:50.people as well, looking at somebody else's case. But sometimes life gets

:41:51. > :41:54.in the way, life unravels more quickly than you can control it.

:41:55. > :41:58.Sometimes things happen. That is just what happened to me. I am lucky

:41:59. > :42:02.enough that people suggested to me, you will find out who your real

:42:03. > :42:07.friends. There were no surprises for me. The comments from other people,

:42:08. > :42:10.negative comments, they didn't really affect me as much as they

:42:11. > :42:16.could have because the relationships that I have that I trust, the people

:42:17. > :42:21.that love me, they were there any way. You got back on your bike and

:42:22. > :42:25.went to reopen. Tell us a bit about how it has affected you in

:42:26. > :42:33.approaching your career? Has it made it more difficult? No, I don't think

:42:34. > :42:37.so. As a professional athlete, you are used to criticism. I think the

:42:38. > :42:41.difficult part about this, is that it was my character that was being

:42:42. > :42:45.analysed and criticised, I couldn't defend against that. That was very

:42:46. > :42:50.difficult. The beauty of cycling is that I got straight back on my bike,

:42:51. > :42:54.I was racing again and I was able to move on very quickly. It made me

:42:55. > :43:02.realise how much I love cycling and how lucky I am. This sport has been

:43:03. > :43:08.in the headlines for a lot of the wrong reasons in the last little

:43:09. > :43:14.while, drugs, sexism, bullying. Has that been something that you have

:43:15. > :43:20.experienced personally? Is that still a problem, do you think, in

:43:21. > :43:26.British cycling? My problem is the umbrella term of British cycling,

:43:27. > :43:31.there are hundreds of dedicated, passionate, cycle loving people. Of

:43:32. > :43:35.course there have been things in the past where I have definitely

:43:36. > :43:39.experienced sexism, I addressed that in my book. But it was never

:43:40. > :43:43.personal. You have to look at the overall picture. In Beijing, we did

:43:44. > :43:54.not even have equal medal opportunities. British cycling is

:43:55. > :43:58.run as a business model. It was a much wider problem than just British

:43:59. > :44:04.cycling. I think those issues have been addressed. Personally, I have

:44:05. > :44:08.never experienced bullying. Tell us about your ambitions? You clearly

:44:09. > :44:15.still have them. What would you like to be doing? There is the Norway

:44:16. > :44:20.Championships, I would love to win that black jersey a second time

:44:21. > :44:26.around. I would really be able to enjoy it. Also the Ottawa

:44:27. > :44:38.Championships, not very far away. -- the Yorkshire Championships.

:44:39. > :44:43.Continuing into 2019, 2020? I would take it as it comes, but Rio was

:44:44. > :44:51.always going to be my last Olympics. Although, Tokyo is only format years

:44:52. > :44:56.away. So you might... I would never say never. Thank you for your

:44:57. > :44:59.honesty. Lizzie Deignan's autobiography

:45:00. > :45:01.is called 'Steadfast, Here is the scene at Southampton

:45:02. > :45:19.this morning. We are there with the yacht Maiden,

:45:20. > :45:21.which carried the first all-female team to complete the round the world

:45:22. > :45:21.yacht race. Here is Carol with a look

:45:22. > :45:31.at this morning's weather. It is a bit chilly. It certainly is,

:45:32. > :45:34.temperatures around Scotland and northern England hovering around

:45:35. > :45:38.freezing. Look at this beauty from Northern Ireland, you can see snow

:45:39. > :45:42.in the hills, and this one is from Staffordshire. Again, a beautiful

:45:43. > :45:46.start to the day. There is a bit of snow on the ground, in Derbyshire

:45:47. > :45:52.and Buxton. And one more to show you. This one again shows some lying

:45:53. > :45:57.snow, must be confusing for the spring plants. This morning it is a

:45:58. > :46:01.cold start. Some frost around, and we are looking at wintry showers as

:46:02. > :46:05.we go through the course of today, almost anywhere. We don't expect any

:46:06. > :46:09.snow at lower levels to stick. What is happening as we are still

:46:10. > :46:12.importing all this cold air from the Arctic right the way across our

:46:13. > :46:19.shores, all the way down towards the Channel Islands. And still a lot of

:46:20. > :46:22.snowy areas. Some atrocious travelling conditions, with poor

:46:23. > :46:26.visibility, with all that snow blowing around. In between the snow

:46:27. > :46:30.showers we are seeing some sunshine. For Northern Ireland, a mixture of

:46:31. > :46:33.sunshine and showers in the hills, some of those wintry. Some of those

:46:34. > :46:37.getting into Northumberland, but move away from Northumberland and

:46:38. > :46:42.for much of the rest of England and Wales is largely dry. There is a

:46:43. > :46:46.fair bit of sunshine around. One or two exceptions, snow showers coming

:46:47. > :46:49.in across East Anglia, and a few rain showers getting in across

:46:50. > :47:01.south-west England. In the south, the wind is not as strong as it is

:47:02. > :47:05.in the north. Nonetheless, if you are exposed to the wind today, it

:47:06. > :47:07.will really accentuate the cold feel. Late morning into the

:47:08. > :47:11.afternoon we will see the showers develop much more widely. Again, any

:47:12. > :47:15.of them could have a wintry element, and around them it will be gusty as

:47:16. > :47:18.well. Temperatures of six in Aberdeen but in the wind will be

:47:19. > :47:21.closer to freezing against your skin. Another day for wrapping up

:47:22. > :47:25.warmly. Last week, if you remember, cold starts today and it warmed up

:47:26. > :47:28.nicely in the afternoon. That will not happen today, it will just be a

:47:29. > :47:32.cold day. Through the evening and overnight we hang on of showers.

:47:33. > :47:36.Still gusty winds but a ridge of high pressure building in from the

:47:37. > :47:39.west, killing off a lot of showers in the west. Not all of them, and

:47:40. > :47:43.these are the temperature values in towns and cities, lower than that in

:47:44. > :47:46.the countryside. Frost to start the day tomorrow, the risk of ice on

:47:47. > :47:49.untreated surfaces but high-pressure continuing to build them from the

:47:50. > :47:53.west. Thing is starting to settle down. We still have a weather front

:47:54. > :47:56.in the east and another one later in the day coming in across western

:47:57. > :48:00.Scotland and Northern Ireland. That means the cloud will thicken here,

:48:01. > :48:03.and then we will see some patchy rain. A weather front in the east

:48:04. > :48:07.producing showers coming in land. Some of those will be wintry. Still

:48:08. > :48:12.a northerly wind, so still feeling cold, but not as cold in the north.

:48:13. > :48:17.Instead of the northerly we're looking at today, we will have more

:48:18. > :48:21.of a north-westerly. As we had on from Wednesday into Friday, here is

:48:22. > :48:26.the cold on when they. This mild air sweeps across our shores, indicating

:48:27. > :48:31.that the temperature once again is on the rise -- on Wednesday. Thank

:48:32. > :48:38.you very much for that. Warm coats forever a body. And now, Louise. Did

:48:39. > :48:45.you see the first Guardians of the Galaxy? No, I didn't. I know we see

:48:46. > :48:48.a lot of films an interview a lot of film stars, but the first one was

:48:49. > :48:52.very funny. The sequel is out this weekend in the UK, I saw it last

:48:53. > :49:03.week, and I genuinely afford on quite a few occasions.

:49:04. > :49:05.Volume 2 sees Chris Pratt return as Star-Lord,

:49:06. > :49:08.but we also get to see his Dad, played by Kurt Russell.

:49:09. > :49:12.I caught up with both of them to find out what we can expect

:49:13. > :49:17.If the first one is about becoming a family, this is about being

:49:18. > :49:24.There were elements of emotion in the first movie, with just

:49:25. > :49:26.the tone, and I think it is irreverent and colourful,

:49:27. > :49:30.and wow, there's a great soundtrack, it's a lot of laughs and emotion.

:49:31. > :49:33.It's the same as the first movie in that regard,

:49:34. > :49:34.but everything is a little heightened.

:49:35. > :49:38.I think the laughs are a little bigger, the action is bigger,

:49:39. > :49:41.Sometimes the thing you are searching for your whole

:49:42. > :49:44.life is right there by your side, all along.

:49:45. > :49:52.And in terms of the humour, which was so integral to the first

:49:53. > :49:55.one, I mean, I said to someone I counted 22 laugh-out-loud moments.

:49:56. > :49:59.You might sit through an entire comedy...

:50:00. > :50:01.I was about to say, you're an easy target!

:50:02. > :50:03.I do think it was intentionally funny.

:50:04. > :50:06.Because that will set off the bomb immediately,

:50:07. > :50:13.No, that is the button that will kill everyone!

:50:14. > :50:16.What is it like working next to Kurt Russell?

:50:17. > :50:19.I told you it was not going to be easy!

:50:20. > :50:21.No, it's been great, it's been really cool.

:50:22. > :50:25.There are some few career paths where you can look at someone

:50:26. > :50:29.who is a legend or an icon to you, and then come to the point

:50:30. > :50:31.where you are, like, holy cow, I'm working intimately

:50:32. > :50:37.You know, I had to get it out of the way, and when I first saw

:50:38. > :50:40.Kurt and met Kurt, and told what a big fan I am,

:50:41. > :50:48.I did, I did, and then I got to know...

:50:49. > :50:51.Where you build up an imaginary person in your mind...

:50:52. > :50:53.After all these years, I've found you.

:50:54. > :50:59.Perhaps foolishly, I asked the world of social media for some questions

:51:00. > :51:04.Do either of you - or does anyone get a say

:51:05. > :51:09.It's written into the script, it's decided before we get it.

:51:10. > :51:37.Have either of you got a favourite snack from your time in the UK.

:51:38. > :51:40.You have been here a while, haven't you?

:51:41. > :51:54.Probably jellied eel. Really, you are into that?

:51:55. > :51:57.No, no! What is wrong with you people?

:51:58. > :51:59.You are starting to insult the jellied eel.

:52:00. > :52:02.It looks bad, you don't want to even look at it.

:52:03. > :52:04.Fish and chips, I guess, fish and chips.

:52:05. > :52:10.Final one, and quite a few others - who would win a game of thumb war

:52:11. > :52:13.Have you ever played a game of thumb war?

:52:14. > :52:47.They are clearly good friends, aren't they? They were a good laugh.

:52:48. > :52:53.You know they do those junket things, where they spend all day,

:52:54. > :52:58.but those were the only sessions where they did them together. Kurt

:52:59. > :53:02.Russell said I have been asked every possible question about 15 times a

:53:03. > :53:03.day, so the test is to see if you can ask something different.

:53:19. > :53:21.You might not have heard of Whitbread, the parent company,

:53:22. > :53:24.but you will certainly know their brands, like Premier Inn

:53:25. > :53:25.hotels, Beefeater, and Brewers Fayre restaurants

:53:26. > :53:29.These businesses serve millions of customers every day,

:53:30. > :53:32.and this morning the owner has announced a healthy rise in profits,

:53:33. > :53:45.We can talk to the chief executive Alison Brittain.

:53:46. > :53:53.She joins us from our London studio. A healthy set of results. Where is

:53:54. > :53:58.the growth been coming from? Yes, they are a good set of results. We

:53:59. > :54:03.are pleased with them. Revenue is up about 8.2% and both Premier Inn and

:54:04. > :54:07.Costa Coffee have grown. In Premier Inn we grew the business by about

:54:08. > :54:13.3800 rooms, in a hotel terms. We have grown about 9000 rooms in the

:54:14. > :54:18.last two years, so that is a big growth. And in Costa Coffee we grew

:54:19. > :54:24.the business around 250 more coffee shops around the world, and of that

:54:25. > :54:28.around 100 or 180 or so were in the UK. So both businesses are in good

:54:29. > :54:32.growth positions, and that is really helping. We are growing with the

:54:33. > :54:37.economy, and we are also growing the number of people who work for us. We

:54:38. > :54:41.add about 3000 new jobs in the business every single year. And on

:54:42. > :54:46.that point about workers, you employ something like 50,000 people in this

:54:47. > :54:50.country. What proportion of your staff via EU nationals, and have

:54:51. > :54:56.your plans for when we leave the EU? Yes, indeed. You are absolutely spot

:54:57. > :55:01.on, around 50,000 people, fantastic team members, all over the country.

:55:02. > :55:04.We are not based in one particular part of the country. We are

:55:05. > :55:09.represented everywhere. And around 80% of our workforce is British,

:55:10. > :55:14.with 20% being non- British EU nationals. So it is important to us

:55:15. > :55:18.that we think about how we manage going forward, because that is a big

:55:19. > :55:22.proportion. And because we are growing and opening up new job

:55:23. > :55:26.opportunities, 3000 new job opportunities every year, it is

:55:27. > :55:31.important that we can fill them. Our normal talent pool for our brilliant

:55:32. > :55:35.team members are quite young people, between the ages of 16 and 24, often

:55:36. > :55:39.people leaving school or college and coming straight into the workforce

:55:40. > :55:43.with us. So we take a huge amount of importance and care over things like

:55:44. > :55:47.how apprentice schemes and training programmes, to make sure that we

:55:48. > :55:52.could people with the skills for their future careers. Are you

:55:53. > :55:55.worried, given 20% of your workforce EU nationals, that you will not be

:55:56. > :56:00.able to fill these positions, and there are going to be gaps in the

:56:01. > :56:03.future? What we are encouraged by at the moment is everybody is talking

:56:04. > :56:07.about the subject. It is way too early to have decided what our

:56:08. > :56:24.policies are going to be as we negotiate Brexit but people are

:56:25. > :56:27.talking about barista visas, and options to work in Europe. We are

:56:28. > :56:32.quite optimistic. You said that the weaker pound will drive up the cost

:56:33. > :56:38.of coffee. Are you having to put up prices? We raised prices earlier in

:56:39. > :56:42.the year, and we don't have plans for any further price increases in

:56:43. > :56:46.our business, and you are right that the import prices have gone up a

:56:47. > :56:49.little bit, but we are also investing heavily in our business to

:56:50. > :56:55.deliver better food and coffee products, particularly in Costa this

:56:56. > :56:58.year. So our customers will benefit from that investment as we roll

:56:59. > :57:07.things out during May, June, and into the summer. That's it for me.

:57:08. > :00:33.Always nice to get the movers and shakers

:00:34. > :00:39.Hello, good morning, you're watching Breakfast with Louise Minchin and

:00:40. > :00:44.Dan Walker. Labour promises a new plan for Brexit. They say they would

:00:45. > :00:48.scrap Theresa May's strategy and would guarantee the rights of EU

:00:49. > :00:53.citizens in the UK before talks begin. The Conservatives say they

:00:54. > :01:03.are the only party with a clear vision for Brexit.

:02:51. > :02:53.the rights of EU citizens living in the UK on day

:02:54. > :02:55.one of taking power. Sir Keir Starmer,

:02:56. > :02:57.the Shadow Brexit Secretary, will also say retaining the benefits

:03:06. > :03:07.on the final agreement. Here's our political

:03:08. > :03:13.correspondent, Eleanor Garnier. When it came to a vote,

:03:14. > :03:25.Labour supported legislation giving Theresa May the power to trigger

:03:26. > :03:27.the start of negotiations But so far, Labour has

:03:28. > :03:35.struggled to present its own Now the party's Shadow Brexit

:03:36. > :03:38.Secretary will attempt Sir Keir Starmer will say

:03:39. > :03:46.today a Labour government would unilaterally guarantee

:03:47. > :03:48.the rights of EU citizens in the UK And Sir Keir will also

:03:49. > :03:58.promised to prioritise the economy in negotiations,

:03:59. > :04:00.aiming to keep the benefits of the single market

:04:01. > :04:06.and the customs union. He will say that Labour will reject

:04:07. > :04:09.the Conservatives' repeal bill and bring in new legislation

:04:10. > :04:11.to transfer relevant EU laws to Britain, to protect

:04:12. > :04:13.employment and consumer rights as well as environmental

:04:14. > :04:18.regulations. When it comes to negotiating

:04:19. > :04:24.with other EU leaders, a Labour government,

:04:25. > :04:25.Sir Keir Starmer will say, will build a close relationship

:04:26. > :04:27.with the European Union, But out campaigning later today,

:04:28. > :04:42.Theresa May will again stress leave the country through Brexit to see

:04:43. > :04:46.the country through Brexit Let's speak to our

:04:47. > :04:50.political correspondent Alex Forsyth who is at

:04:51. > :04:57.Downing Street this morning. We are a few days into the campaign

:04:58. > :05:02.and we are seeing clear policies. That's right. Theresa May has framed

:05:03. > :05:07.this campaign in terms Brexit. That is what we are seeing from Labour

:05:08. > :05:13.today, then setting out their vision for what Brexit would look like

:05:14. > :05:16.under Labour government. Theresa May well, after chairing cabinets and

:05:17. > :05:20.they get back on the campaign trail and will make the argument that has

:05:21. > :05:24.been central to the Tories message so far. And that is that it is only

:05:25. > :05:28.the Conservatives who can offer the strong leadership the country needs

:05:29. > :05:34.to see it through Brexit and beyond. Theresa May significantly will make

:05:35. > :05:38.that case in Wales today. It's Labour territory, Labour heartlands

:05:39. > :05:42.and by choosing to go there Theresa May shows that she thinks that she

:05:43. > :05:46.can take some of those Labour voters, particularly those whose

:05:47. > :05:50.aborted Brexit and win them round so she will be making the case there

:05:51. > :05:54.today, perhaps boosted by recent opinion polls. We all know that

:05:55. > :05:59.opinion polls can be unreliable and election campaigns can be

:06:00. > :06:01.unpredictable and there are still six weeks left of this one. Thank

:06:02. > :06:04.you, Alex. We'll speak to Labour's Barry

:06:49. > :06:54.to go home for some time, but it has emerged he was discharged

:06:55. > :06:57.a few days ago. It has meant he has had

:06:58. > :07:00.to cancel tour dates In a statement, the star spoke

:07:01. > :07:17.of how he was fortunate to have the most loyal fans,

:07:18. > :07:19.and he apologised for He said he was extremely

:07:20. > :07:23.grateful to his medical team The singer is expected

:07:24. > :07:27.to make a full recovery, and is already planning a return

:07:28. > :07:29.to the stage in June. Until then, the Rocket Man

:07:55. > :07:57.to focus on her campaign. The move comes just a day

:09:04. > :09:05.will produce "fact-checked, Our Media Editor Amol Rajan joins us

:09:06. > :09:22.from our London newsroom. Jimmy Wales is the one who turned

:09:23. > :09:28.the wisdom of crowds and the open Web into a digital phenomenon.

:09:29. > :09:31.Wikipedia is a of users getting involved and updating online content

:09:32. > :09:37.to make sure we have the best information. Now he wants to apply

:09:38. > :09:41.the same model to this new website. He's often been interested in news

:09:42. > :09:48.and talked about and for a long time but some recent developments have

:09:49. > :09:53.accelerated the launch of Wikitribune. One is the rise of fake

:09:54. > :09:57.news, people spreading misinformation online, it's a big

:09:58. > :10:00.problem. The other is the advertising funded model for news

:10:01. > :10:05.where people give out stuff for free doesn't seem to be working while

:10:06. > :10:09.online. He thinks we need to restore the connection between high quality

:10:10. > :10:14.news and people paying for it and this is why Wikitribune will be

:10:15. > :10:19.funded through monthly subscriptions from this community of users. The

:10:20. > :10:22.other interesting thing apart from changing the commercial model by

:10:23. > :10:27.getting people to pay for their own news, he's trying to change the

:10:28. > :10:32.editorial model. In the old days, news was defined by editors like me

:10:33. > :10:36.who would say, this is what is and isn't news. Jimmy Wales now says,

:10:37. > :10:42.it's over to you. And whether it works will be something we won't

:10:43. > :10:46.find out for some time. More citizen journalism, Amol, thank you. We will

:10:47. > :10:53.be speaking to Jimmy Wales about this at 840. Now this isn't fake

:10:54. > :10:58.news. Here's something that could help

:10:59. > :11:01.you beat the morning rush hour. This is the view from

:11:32. > :11:33.you park it on the piazza? You would need a few spaces. It's 11 minutes

:11:34. > :11:36.past eight. There are just over 6 weeks

:11:37. > :11:39.until the general election and plenty of questions

:11:40. > :11:40.still to answer. One them is - how exactly

:11:41. > :11:43.would a Labour government tackle Britain's exit

:11:44. > :11:45.from the European Union? The party has been accused of not

:11:46. > :11:48.delivering enough detail, Here's what happened on Newsnight

:11:49. > :11:52.last night when Kirsty Wark spoke to the former Labour

:11:53. > :12:01.Minister Lord Mandelson. What is the Labour position on

:12:02. > :12:07.Brexit now? Surge me! I think you need to wait for the manifesto! The

:12:08. > :12:11.problem for the Labour Party on Brexit is very clear. And that is

:12:12. > :12:15.that they are not, I'm afraid differentiating their position and

:12:16. > :12:16.their policies sufficiently from the government, or haven't done so up

:12:17. > :12:19.until now. So could all that change

:12:20. > :12:21.today as Labour sets Let's speak to Barry Gardiner,

:12:22. > :12:25.the Shadow Secretary of State for International Trade who joins us

:12:26. > :12:34.from our Westminster studio. Thank you for joining us. What we

:12:35. > :12:37.would like is some clarity, I hope that you can give it. Let's talk

:12:38. > :12:41.about the rights of EU citizens living in the UK. You've made an

:12:42. > :12:45.announcement about that today, you say they will be allowed to stay.

:12:46. > :12:50.That's absolutely right. I think there are good reasons for that.

:12:51. > :12:54.Firstly it's the right thing to do, 3 million people living and working

:12:55. > :12:59.here and contributing to our economy. The second follows on from

:13:00. > :13:09.that. And that will be it will be hugely against our country's

:13:10. > :13:12.interest to have them leave. They propped up our health service and

:13:13. > :13:14.run businesses were us and provide the intellectual firepower of some

:13:15. > :13:17.of our most important companies. It is important that we keep this

:13:18. > :13:24.skills base in the UK. And finally, it would re-set the tone of the

:13:25. > :13:29.negotiations, one of the tragic things about the way in which the

:13:30. > :13:33.government has approached Brexit is, we find we are more divided as a

:13:34. > :13:40.nation over it and we are more isolated in Europe. And what this

:13:41. > :13:43.will do is come it will reset that relationship with the other member

:13:44. > :13:47.states in Europe and be a very positive way of starting the

:13:48. > :13:52.negotiations. If you could explain, they will be no reciprocal rights

:13:53. > :13:56.for British citizens in EU countries guaranteed? Did you assume they

:13:57. > :14:02.would be reciprocal rights, how would you guarantee them? I find

:14:03. > :14:07.that if you are nice to people they tend to be nice to your back. If we

:14:08. > :14:13.do the right thing they will also do it. It is in their interest just as

:14:14. > :14:18.it is in ours to have British skilled workers and their countries.

:14:19. > :14:21.Many of them want to do that. They want the skills that we provide for

:14:22. > :14:28.them just as we want the skilled workers they provide for us. I think

:14:29. > :14:34.there mutual benefit here. Is that you're negotiating position, being

:14:35. > :14:38.nice to people? No, you must be tough in negotiation but that does

:14:39. > :14:42.not mean you cannot approach it in the spirit of co-operation. I think

:14:43. > :14:47.that is really important. The government has a nationalistic way

:14:48. > :14:50.of looking at Brexit and not a patriotic one. Nationalists seem to

:14:51. > :14:55.think the only way to show your love of your country is to do down other

:14:56. > :14:57.countries. Patriots believe you can love your country and cooperate with

:14:58. > :15:21.others. But there are other key differentiating points and

:15:22. > :15:23.this is what Peter Mandelson seemed to want and your introduction

:15:24. > :15:26.suggested, that we must convey, I think, and one of those is that the

:15:27. > :15:29.government is proposing this great repeals Bill. What bad would do is,

:15:30. > :15:31.it would take away the guarantees that underpin our rights in the

:15:32. > :15:33.workplace and our environmental protections and other protections

:15:34. > :15:35.currently in place. We have seen just yesterday in the courts with a

:15:36. > :15:38.government again went to get out of its obligations on air pollution.

:15:39. > :15:41.These are things we want to embed and that is why we have said and why

:15:42. > :15:45.Keir Starmer will say today that we will bring in a rights and

:15:46. > :15:50.protections bill that guarantees those things in the future in law.

:15:51. > :15:56.Can we talk about what you're going to be tough on and you will be

:15:57. > :15:59.familiar that they are saying there is no access to the single market

:16:00. > :16:03.unless there is freedom of movement. Are you prepared then to agree there

:16:04. > :16:10.will be freedom of movement, yes or no? Look, I'm sorry, you're wrong.

:16:11. > :16:15.Because, of course, there is the internal market and there is access

:16:16. > :16:18.to the internal market. The single market, Americans access the single

:16:19. > :16:22.market. American companies do that. Indian companies do that. It's not

:16:23. > :16:27.about access, it's about membership and then abiding by the rules if you

:16:28. > :16:33.are a member. So, if you are a member of the European Union, then

:16:34. > :16:38.you abide by the four freedoms that characterise the internal market. We

:16:39. > :16:43.are not going to be members of the European Union and we will have to

:16:44. > :16:46.chart a new relationship with them over the issues of the four freedoms

:16:47. > :16:51.including the free movement of people. Actually earlier on your

:16:52. > :16:55.programme Jim Cherry spoke very well about how that new relationship

:16:56. > :17:01.ought to be from the Federation of Small Businesses. He wants as easy a

:17:02. > :17:04.way of ensuring that his companies, the companies that he represents,

:17:05. > :17:10.have the skills that Europe can provide and we'll need a new way of

:17:11. > :17:14.doing that because we won't have the same free movement that we do now.

:17:15. > :17:19.We want it to be as friction-free as possible. We want it to be

:17:20. > :17:22.absolutely without any problems for British companies and people who

:17:23. > :17:27.want to come and work here and contribute to our economy. Could you

:17:28. > :17:32.say at this point then whether you will accept free movement, yes or

:17:33. > :17:39.no? Well, look, if the European Union allows us to have the benefits

:17:40. > :17:44.of the single market, if it allows us to have complete friction-free

:17:45. > :17:49.access then that would be wonderful. If the price, you know, that they

:17:50. > :17:53.are seeking on that, is that we have to adopt the four freedoms then we

:17:54. > :17:56.would have to be part of the internal market. We would have to be

:17:57. > :18:01.a member of the European Union. They're not going to do that and I

:18:02. > :18:04.think we need to be realistic, but these are points of process that

:18:05. > :18:08.will be part of the negotiation. The key thing that we want to stress and

:18:09. > :18:13.that Keir Starmer will be stressing today is we will judge everything in

:18:14. > :18:18.terms of what it does for jobs, and the economy, for the rights that we

:18:19. > :18:20.enjoy in the workplace for the environmental protections that we

:18:21. > :18:26.need to have, to have a secure country. These are the main

:18:27. > :18:32.principles. Now, we'll then have to negotiate all the other elements of

:18:33. > :18:35.that deal. We will always judge it in that way. One last question. It

:18:36. > :18:40.is what you were indicating there about the idea of deal or no deal.

:18:41. > :18:43.From what we've heard today, Labour won't accept no deal. What do you

:18:44. > :18:47.mean by that? Is it Labour policy then to stay in Europe if you can't

:18:48. > :18:54.reach a deal? Look, let's be very clear. The Government has said that

:18:55. > :18:58.no deal is better than a bad deal. That's wrong. No deal is the worst

:18:59. > :19:02.possible deal and indeed, we agree with the Confederation of British

:19:03. > :19:06.Industry that said no deal would be chaos. Now, the Government is very

:19:07. > :19:10.keen on talking about chaos. What they don't actually do when they're

:19:11. > :19:14.talking about chaos is quote the Confederation of British Industry.

:19:15. > :19:20.The CBI said their policy here is chaotic. Labour agrees with the CBI,

:19:21. > :19:23.we must get a deal. It must be done we negotiate in good faith as

:19:24. > :19:28.partners. We won't be members of the European Union, but we want to be

:19:29. > :19:33.partners with them. If there wasn't a deal, would you have a second

:19:34. > :19:37.referendum? No, no, it's not, look, it's not about a second referendum.

:19:38. > :19:42.This is about negotiating a deal that is in the best interests of the

:19:43. > :19:48.British economy, the best interests of jobs and growth here and embeds

:19:49. > :19:51.in our country the protections that we currently enjoy and that people

:19:52. > :19:57.don't want to lose, but which this Government seems to want to get rid

:19:58. > :20:01.of. They see things like air quality as being a burden. We see it as

:20:02. > :20:05.being a protection of the that's why we want to make sure that the deal

:20:06. > :20:11.we do brings all of that and secures all of that for our children's

:20:12. > :20:12.future. Shadow Secretary of State for International trade, Barry

:20:13. > :20:18.Gardener, thank you. You've been sending in some

:20:19. > :20:21.of your snowy pictures this morning. This is what it looks

:20:22. > :20:25.like in Staffordshire this Andrea has sent this one

:20:26. > :20:33.in from the highest village And this is Angela's view this

:20:34. > :21:07.morning, looking out In the Highlands we have had quite a

:21:08. > :21:09.bit of snow. In Aviemore we have about eight centimetres of lying

:21:10. > :21:15.snow and it's blowing around as well. If you are travelling bear

:21:16. > :21:19.that in mind. It is a cold start. It's a frosty start. The lowest

:21:20. > :21:23.temperatures are across England and Scotland. Hovering around freezing.

:21:24. > :21:29.We're pulling in all of this cold air from the Arctic on a northerly

:21:30. > :21:32.wind and it is right the way across the British Isles towards the

:21:33. > :21:35.Channel Islands. The isobars are close together in the north so the

:21:36. > :21:39.strongest winds are here. As we come further south, it is more breezy

:21:40. > :21:42.rather than windy. This morning, still a lot of wintry showers

:21:43. > :21:45.falling across the north of the country. Some of those down eastern

:21:46. > :21:48.parts of England, Northern Ireland and Wales, but through the morning

:21:49. > :21:52.and into the afternoon we will see more develop and some of those could

:21:53. > :21:55.still be wintry in nature, but we don't expect any snow to lie at

:21:56. > :21:59.lower levels during the course of the afternoon. Moving up eastern

:22:00. > :22:04.parts of Scotland and into the Highlands once again, we are looking

:22:05. > :22:07.at some further wintery showers interspersed with sunshine. Windy

:22:08. > :22:10.and raw in the northerly wind. For Northern Ireland, sunshine and

:22:11. > :22:14.showers. Some showers again on the hills, could be wintry and for

:22:15. > :22:19.Wales, into the Midlands, similar scenario, we've got sunshine and

:22:20. > :22:22.showers. Some of the showers could be wintry as indeed they could be

:22:23. > :22:25.across south-west England. Temperatures in Plymouth around

:22:26. > :22:29.about the nine Celsius mark, but it won't feel like. As we drift across

:22:30. > :22:34.southern counties over towards Kent again a few showers and sunshine,

:22:35. > :22:37.but the potential for wintry showers almost anywhere. Six in Aberdeen, 13

:22:38. > :22:41.Celsius in London. When you add on the effects of the wind it will feel

:22:42. > :22:46.more like freezing in Aberdeen than six and it will feel more like nine

:22:47. > :22:49.as we move down towards the capital. Now, through this evening and

:22:50. > :22:53.overnight, we hang on to a lot of showers initially. Still wintry and

:22:54. > :22:56.some windy and then a ridge of high pressure starts it build in from the

:22:57. > :23:00.west and that will kill off some of the showers. Still a few around the

:23:01. > :23:06.coasts. These temperatures are indictive of towns and cities. In

:23:07. > :23:10.rural areas, they will be lower. So we are looking at frost and ice on

:23:11. > :23:14.untreated surfaces. This is the high pressure that's building in from the

:23:15. > :23:19.west. That will settle things down in the west. The win coming

:23:20. > :23:23.Australianed it is coming from the north-west. In the south, it is a

:23:24. > :23:26.northerly. It will feel cool in the south tomorrow. It won't feel as

:23:27. > :23:28.cold in the north. We have got a weather front coming in across

:23:29. > :23:31.Northern Ireland and Western Scotland introducing thicker cloud

:23:32. > :23:36.and patchy rain. But in between all of that, there will be sunshine.

:23:37. > :23:39.Temperatures tens and 11s. And then, as we move from Wednesday with all

:23:40. > :23:45.this cold air, look what happens on Thursday and Friday. More yellows

:23:46. > :23:48.which means that it is going to turn that bit milder than it has been.

:23:49. > :23:53.And Lou and Dan, if you're interested in this, there is still a

:23:54. > :23:57.lot of caveats around it, but at the moment, some of the meteorological

:23:58. > :24:00.models like like into next week the temperature could get high once

:24:01. > :24:03.again, perhaps as high as 20 Celsius! Maybe a little bit more

:24:04. > :24:12.especially in parts of the south-east.

:24:13. > :24:19.We are definitely interested, Carol. That was one of the highest villages

:24:20. > :24:26.in Scotland. I think it could be in the Grampians!

:24:27. > :24:29.It's nearly 30 years since Tracey Edwards and her crew

:24:30. > :24:31.made history by becoming the first all-female team to complete

:24:32. > :24:35.The 12-strong crew crossed the world's oceans in

:24:36. > :24:38.But after the race the boat was sold and ultimately

:24:39. > :24:39.abandoned overseas - until now.

:24:40. > :24:42.Breakfast's John Maguire is with Tracey this morning.

:24:43. > :24:49.Where are you? I'm below deck is where I'm on board the Maiden and as

:24:50. > :24:54.you say it was abandoned. They have brought it back from the Seychelles.

:24:55. > :24:58.It is its first day today back in British waters, but as you can see,

:24:59. > :25:02.it is a real mess. Imagine the crew, nine months at sea, 12 women all

:25:03. > :25:08.working and all sailing down here this. Is some of the old sails back

:25:09. > :25:13.from 27 years ago. The Maiden in a sorry state. They have got amazing

:25:14. > :25:18.plans for her future. We will talk to Tracey and Jo in a second. First

:25:19. > :25:19.there, is how the BBC reported their triumphant return to Southampton 27

:25:20. > :25:22.years ago. A triumphant Maiden sails

:25:23. > :25:25.home after 33,000 miles. They had been written

:25:26. > :25:29.off as no hopers before the race had even begun,

:25:30. > :25:32.but here they were nine months later receiving a heroine's welcome

:25:33. > :25:33.in a crowded Solent. Then at 11 o'clock on the dot,

:25:34. > :25:36.the moment they'd struggled Tracey Edwards from Hampshire

:25:37. > :25:43.and her all-female crew had done it, sailing into a well deserved

:25:44. > :25:48.place in history. I present Tracey with her prize for

:25:49. > :25:55.coming second in the entire race. They'd run out of food supplies days

:25:56. > :26:00.ago, but the thousands who turned out to greet Maiden made it

:26:01. > :26:03.an emotional end to a remarkable campaign which has inspired millions

:26:04. > :26:15.more all over the world. Well, let's bring you up into the

:26:16. > :26:19.Hampshire sunshine. It is a glorious morning this morning. Here is Tracey

:26:20. > :26:23.and Jo. Tracey, we were just watching shots of your return 27

:26:24. > :26:25.years ago. It must feel like yesterday, doesn't it?

:26:26. > :26:29.LAUGHTER Time has gone very quickly. What's

:26:30. > :26:34.the plan now? What's the plan for Maiden now? OK, so, there is a big

:26:35. > :26:40.refit coming up and lots of plans for the future. And if you remember

:26:41. > :26:45.when we did Maiden the first time, the only reason really we managed to

:26:46. > :26:49.do it was because of the support of King Hussein of Jordan. Right. He

:26:50. > :26:54.was a mentor, a friend, he got Maiden to the start line. So this is

:26:55. > :27:04.his legacy. And we also have now a very special friend, his daughter,

:27:05. > :27:10.The princess, she is now helping us with Maiden. She's supporting us and

:27:11. > :27:14.this is a tribute to her father King Hussein and his wonderful legacy.

:27:15. > :27:18.What will you be doing? She will be helping us with the focus of the

:27:19. > :27:23.Maiden factor which is fund-raising for girls' education. I threw away

:27:24. > :27:28.my education. I was expelled from school when I was 15. Peu was handed

:27:29. > :27:32.an education. There are girls fighting for an education. We want

:27:33. > :27:34.to raise the awareness for small charities working around the world

:27:35. > :27:38.that enable girls to get into school. Good stuff. Jo, quick word

:27:39. > :27:42.with you, because we are running out of time. You were the cook on board,

:27:43. > :27:48.you used to produce miracles down there in the galley. What was the

:27:49. > :27:53.favourite meal on board? Well, it was pretty special when I would make

:27:54. > :27:57.bread. Bread, yeah. Because I hadn't got an oven I would have to bake it

:27:58. > :28:02.in a pressure cooker. Is that a thing? It is a thing. It was back

:28:03. > :28:05.then. But it was just such, you know, it's the smell of the bread

:28:06. > :28:09.cooking and just lifted spirits. Yeah, it was a great thing. Well,

:28:10. > :28:14.thank you very much for spending the morning with us. What an achievement

:28:15. > :28:18.this crew of 12 women managed to achieve 27 years ago, but they've

:28:19. > :28:21.got ambitious plans now for the future and you think of the

:28:22. > :28:25.physical, the emotional, the challenges that they faced all those

:28:26. > :28:30.years ago. That's the type of thing that they're trying to replicate and

:28:31. > :28:33.tackle when they spread the word of education for girls and young women

:28:34. > :28:40.around the world in the months to come. Summer next year. June next

:28:41. > :28:46.year. June next year. We will be there for it.

:28:47. > :28:50.That's quite something, sailing, and how much just a little bit of home

:28:51. > :28:53.comforts can help. Bread in a pressure cooker.

:28:54. > :32:13.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:32:14. > :32:15.For now, though, here's Louise and Dan.

:32:16. > :32:26.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

:32:27. > :32:29.Labour is setting out its Brexit policy today, saying that the party

:32:30. > :32:32.would guarantee the rights of EU citizens living in the UK on day

:32:33. > :32:37.It's promising to scrap the Government's plans and press

:32:38. > :32:41.for a deal that it says will retain the benefits of the single market.

:32:42. > :32:43.Theresa May will take her election campaign to Wales today,

:32:44. > :32:53.hoping to win seats in traditional Labour areas.

:32:54. > :32:59.Earlier, the shadow into an trade secretary Barry Gardner said that

:33:00. > :33:04.Labour would not accept Brexit negotiations ending without a deal.

:33:05. > :33:08.We must get a deal, it must be one we negotiate in good faith as

:33:09. > :33:10.partners. We will not be members of the European Union but we want to be

:33:11. > :33:12.partners. Sir Elton John has cancelled

:33:56. > :33:57.to keep their brains in top working order,

:33:58. > :33:59.according to scientists. A study published in the British

:34:00. > :34:02.Journal of Sports Medicine found that a combination of aerobic

:34:03. > :34:04.activity and muscle strengthening exercises is the best way to improve

:34:05. > :34:07.thinking and memory skills - even when the brain is already

:34:08. > :34:16.showing signs of decline. Ivanka Trump will embark

:34:49. > :34:51.to be entirely lawful The owner has denied she painted

:34:52. > :35:06.the stripes to spite her neighbours. I am not sure they will be too

:35:07. > :35:11.friendly on that street! It is very jaunty.

:35:12. > :35:17.It is a statement! Steph has the latest on small business worries and

:35:18. > :35:21.mortgages? Do you think she is a Mackem? Is that why she painted it

:35:22. > :35:25.red and white. Or a Middlesbrough fun. Everyone should be a

:36:16. > :36:18.morning as the boss warned they face a tougher environment ahead.

:36:19. > :36:22.If you were after a mortgage you will be pleased to hear that rates

:36:23. > :36:25.for new deals are coming down. Santander is the latest to cut them

:36:26. > :36:34.after Yorkshire building society launched the lowest ever mortgage

:36:35. > :36:41.rate of serve. For lots of these deals you need big deposit, so you

:40:27. > :40:28.but appealed and was Although favourite for gold,

:40:29. > :40:32.amid the backlash she came fifth - and says she learned a lot

:40:33. > :40:44.from the whole experience. Is a professional athlete you used

:40:45. > :40:48.to criticism. You know, my performances analysed every race I

:40:49. > :40:53.do. The difficult part about this was that it was my character being

:40:54. > :40:56.analysed and criticised and I could not defend against that and it was

:40:57. > :41:00.very difficult. The beauty of cycling as I was straight back on my

:41:01. > :41:04.bike and racing again and able to move on very quickly. It made me

:41:05. > :41:06.realise how much I love cycling, how much I love my sport and how Mckay

:41:07. > :41:13.to be doing it. A really interesting interview.

:41:14. > :41:19.Talking about going for the World Championships then perhaps sticking

:41:20. > :41:23.around for Tokyo 2020. That was a surprise. After everything she has

:41:24. > :41:27.been through, the criticism, whatever side of the story you take,

:41:28. > :41:31.whether you think she is to blame or whether they were honest mistakes,

:41:32. > :41:36.whichever side of the line you stick on, it'll be fascinating to see if

:41:37. > :41:39.she makes it to the 2020 Olympics and wins the medal but she was

:41:40. > :41:41.perhaps opposed to win in Rio. Thank you.

:41:42. > :41:45.Donald Trump has spoken out about it.

:41:46. > :41:47.Jeremy Corbyn mentioned it on our sofa.

:41:48. > :41:50.Social media sites like Facebook have tried to crack down on it.

:41:51. > :41:53.But how do we tackle the spread of fake news?

:41:54. > :41:55.Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia, thinks he has the answer.

:41:56. > :41:58.He's planning to launch Wikitribune, a crowdfunded news site run

:41:59. > :42:01.Jimmy's in our London newsroom this morning, and William Foy

:42:02. > :42:05.from the fact-checking charity Full Fact joins us in the studio.

:42:06. > :42:11.Thank you for joining us. Hopefully I can see Jimmy Wales, good morning

:42:12. > :42:15.and thank you for joining us. Would you echo some thoughts that there is

:42:16. > :42:19.a need for getting to grips with so-called fake news? Definitely. One

:42:20. > :42:24.of the things we have seen in the last couple of years is a real rise

:42:25. > :42:29.in very low quality... You might not even call them News sources, in some

:42:30. > :42:35.cases, but low quality news sources which I been very problematic in

:42:36. > :42:38.terms of increasing divisiveness in society and so forth. What will you

:42:39. > :42:43.do? How would you be assured that the news you are looking at is real?

:42:44. > :42:51.One of the things we want to do is bring in a community of thoughtful

:42:52. > :42:53.and kind people like we have at Wikipedia and combine them with

:42:54. > :42:57.professional journalists to do news that is very community guided and

:42:58. > :43:02.community focused with very intensive fact checking along the

:43:03. > :43:06.way. Well, I think it is a very exciting concept to try to do

:43:07. > :43:11.something new in this space. William, you are a fact checker,

:43:12. > :43:15.could this model work? I think Jimmy has hit on something very important,

:43:16. > :43:19.what they are saying is they will show the sources for everything they

:43:20. > :43:23.say, which is what Wikipedia does. That is really exciting. The single

:43:24. > :43:27.biggest thing but journalism could do to earn more peoples trust more

:43:28. > :43:35.quickly is to show where you are getting facts from the judge. But

:43:36. > :43:37.being a fact checker, it takes a lot of time. Fact checking is often a

:43:38. > :43:41.plodding experience. We have spent weeks trying to get answers to

:43:42. > :43:46.simple questions like how many businesses export to the rest of the

:43:47. > :43:50.EU, literally weeks going around government bodies. I am not totally

:43:51. > :43:57.sure that kind of plodding, patient, diligent work will happen unless it

:43:58. > :44:00.is resourced. He makes a good case, this is difficult to work,

:44:01. > :44:07.intensive, it needs backing behind it. How you do that? It is really

:44:08. > :44:12.about saying that we want a monthly contributors who sign up to paid,

:44:13. > :44:15.because we need the funds to do that kind of intensive fact checking and

:44:16. > :44:24.the professional journalists on the. Also there is a lot of room for a

:44:25. > :44:27.wiki style community to help with that. One of the things they miss

:44:28. > :44:32.about Wikipedia is the number of people who spent months and years on

:44:33. > :44:36.very tedious and obscure things in their personal interest -- one of

:44:37. > :44:43.the things that is interesting about Wikipedia is. You need a full

:44:44. > :44:46.infrastructure and broad support. My approach to everything is open,

:44:47. > :44:50.transparent partnering, I would love to partner with your organisation to

:44:51. > :44:55.say how can we help you, how can you help us, how can we work together to

:44:56. > :45:00.improve the quality of information the public is getting? William, do

:45:01. > :45:04.you want to come back on that? This website is that it Full Fact be

:45:05. > :45:08.spent weeks and weeks on things we have no personal interest in, you

:45:09. > :45:20.want nonpartisan fact checking. We will see an awful lot

:45:21. > :45:24.of people riding their hobbyhorses over the general election campaign,

:45:25. > :45:26.what we have done at Full Fact for several years is to fact check every

:45:27. > :45:28.major public debate, three major referendums, three different

:45:29. > :45:30.elections, we have no lacks to grind, we are not trying to persuade

:45:31. > :45:33.anyone of anything, we are trying to give them information to make up

:45:34. > :45:36.their own minds. The problem with relying on volunteer experts as

:45:37. > :45:43.people tend to be experts in things they care about. If you ask people,

:45:44. > :45:45.let's ask human rights lawyers how great human rights are, you will

:45:46. > :45:49.definitely get human rights are great. But will everybody trust what

:45:50. > :45:53.they are hearing about human rights law and how it works is true? We

:45:54. > :45:58.have a legal specialist who can stand away from that and say this is

:45:59. > :46:02.what we know and here are the sources. Independence and

:46:03. > :46:03.nonpartisan shipper really crucial. Jimmy, your subscribers come with an

:46:04. > :46:14.agenda? Wikipedia has a visitation for

:46:15. > :46:18.trying to be neutral. A strength has been people who cared more about

:46:19. > :46:22.Wikipedia that the debate. We struggle with people who come in

:46:23. > :46:27.with an agenda, and usually we ban them very quickly. But I think it

:46:28. > :46:31.takes all of these approaches to get rational fact checkers engaged, that

:46:32. > :46:43.is incredibly important. Fake news is very much the phrase of

:46:44. > :46:49.the year. What that to us?

:46:50. > :46:50.To them! It will be a tough election for every journalist and fact

:46:51. > :46:52.checker. Here's Carol with a look

:46:53. > :47:02.at this morning's weather. A lovely picture from Aberdeen, or

:47:03. > :47:06.Aviemore, should I say, there are eight centimetres of snow. It is not

:47:07. > :47:14.snowing everywhere, lovely blue skies here. We are also looking at a

:47:15. > :47:19.lot of sunshine, not just in some parts of the country, but in many

:47:20. > :47:22.parts. Where we can see the speckled cloud, that is where we have

:47:23. > :47:30.showers, and some of them are wintry. We have some cold as

:47:31. > :47:35.streaming down from the North. They are telling you it is windy across

:47:36. > :47:39.northern Scotland. There will be some nasty travelling conditions.

:47:40. > :47:43.Some snow showers down the East Coast, and one or two across parts

:47:44. > :47:48.of Northern Ireland, Wales and the south-west. We do not expect the

:47:49. > :47:51.snow at lower levels to settle. Through the afternoon, you can see

:47:52. > :47:56.how the showers become more widespread. Across northern England

:47:57. > :48:01.and Scotland, interspersed with sunny skies. But it is cold in the

:48:02. > :48:06.northerly wind. For Northern Ireland, sunshine and showers. Any

:48:07. > :48:12.wintriness largely on the hills. It is the same across Wales. Sunshine

:48:13. > :48:18.and showers, some of their wintry. The same for south-west England. The

:48:19. > :48:26.temperatures will feel colder than the temperature suggests. Towards

:48:27. > :48:29.Southern counties, Kent, East Anglia and the Midlands, a lot of showers

:48:30. > :48:39.interspersed with sunshine, and it will be squalling.

:48:40. > :48:45.Still very windy this evening and overnight, and a lot of showers, and

:48:46. > :48:49.wintry in content. High pressure from the West will kill off some of

:48:50. > :48:58.the showers, so there will be coastal showers around. Clear skies,

:48:59. > :49:01.so a widespread frost. In rural areas, the temperatures will be

:49:02. > :49:06.lower than this, and there is a risk of ice. High pressure continues to

:49:07. > :49:12.drive the weather from the West. This weather front will enhance the

:49:13. > :49:15.showers. It will also see another system coming in across western

:49:16. > :49:21.Scotland and Northern Ireland. The coming cloud with patchy rain. The

:49:22. > :49:25.wind direction is salient. Tomorrow it will come from the north-west, so

:49:26. > :49:31.it will not feel as cold. From the south, it will still come from the

:49:32. > :49:35.North, it will feel cooler. The temperatures are not quite what they

:49:36. > :49:39.look like on the chart. On Wednesday, the cold air, but milder

:49:40. > :49:43.in the north-west. The mild air sinks across the shores as we head

:49:44. > :49:46.through Thursday and Friday, indicating that the temperature is

:49:47. > :49:52.on the rise, so it will not feel quite as cold as it has been today.

:49:53. > :49:54.Every year, 60,000 babies are born prematurely in the UK.

:49:55. > :50:01.Now, new research shows those born extremely early, before 27 weeks,

:50:02. > :50:04.are 20% more likely to survive than they were a decade ago.

:50:05. > :50:06.But the long-term outcomes for premature children

:50:07. > :50:18.A similar proportion go on to experience serious

:50:19. > :50:20.developmental problems as they did in the mid-90s.

:50:21. > :50:22.It's just over a year since 5 Live Breakfast

:50:23. > :50:23.presenter Rachel Burden, of course, a presenter

:50:24. > :50:26.on this programme too, had her baby boy Henry at 31 weeks.

:50:27. > :50:30.She's been back to Burnley General Teaching Hospital to speak

:50:31. > :50:40.Henry, my son, was born nine weeks early.

:50:41. > :50:48.He is my fourth child, but his early arrival came

:50:49. > :50:52.I had developed severe pre-eclampsia.

:50:53. > :51:03.The doctors decided they needed to deliver the baby

:51:04. > :51:08.When he was born, I remember him being lifted up and shown to me,

:51:09. > :51:10.and he was this tiny, scrawny, purple creature,

:51:11. > :51:15.I can't believe it is over a year now I was being wheeled

:51:16. > :51:19.along this corridor, and it felt so strange

:51:20. > :51:22.and new to me, but for you this is everyday.

:51:23. > :51:24.But I walked in to see Henry for the first time,

:51:25. > :51:28.he was having breathing support, covered in tubes and wires,

:51:29. > :51:33.At 31 weeks, he was not doing too badly.

:51:34. > :51:36.He needed a bit of help with his breathing, which is not

:51:37. > :51:38.unusual for a baby born into his gestation.

:51:39. > :51:44.It is routine and bread-and-butter, but for the parents when they first

:51:45. > :51:48.They feel separated from their babies, inside a plastic box,

:51:49. > :51:54.they have these monitors going bleep, it is

:51:55. > :52:02.We understand, we have to help the parents through and reassure

:52:03. > :52:06.It is lovely to meet you and baby Jenson, he is gorgeous.

:52:07. > :52:20.I lifted him up in his incubator, he weighed nothing.

:52:21. > :52:26.It is hard to know how much you can handle them,

:52:27. > :52:30.I found that process of getting to know your baby really tough.

:52:31. > :52:39.It was about seven weeks before we could hold him properly.

:52:40. > :52:54.This rush of love that comes, it is, "Oh, my God, this is my child,

:52:55. > :52:56.so fragile and delicate, I have to protect him."

:52:57. > :53:01.15, 20 years ago, if they were born extremely prematurely,

:53:02. > :53:05.nobody was surprised if they had died at 24 weeks, but now we fight

:53:06. > :53:08.for every baby as long and as hard as we can.

:53:09. > :53:14.We would not be where we are without the staff and doctors

:53:15. > :53:27.That was Rachel Burden speaking to the parents of baby Jenson there.

:53:28. > :53:29.You can hear more of Rachel's story throughout the day

:53:30. > :53:33.The baby charity Tommy's and King's College London have

:53:34. > :53:35.launched a new campaign encouraging women to voice their

:53:36. > :53:41.We're joined now from our London studio by Clemmie Hooper,

:53:42. > :53:44.a mum of four and an NHS midwife, and also in the studio

:53:45. > :53:54.by Rachel Corry and her son Hugo, who was born at just under 25 weeks.

:53:55. > :54:03.He is 19 months old now? Yes. You had had great sadness with premature

:54:04. > :54:09.babies previously. When I was pregnant again with Hugo, I was

:54:10. > :54:14.worried and cautious that history would repeat itself, but I had some

:54:15. > :54:18.good monitoring. I had a good consultant at Wythenshawe, the team

:54:19. > :54:24.looked out for me. It was time to them. You could see how small he was

:54:25. > :54:30.when he was born. It was down to them that he lasted gestation only

:54:31. > :54:34.as long as he did, they encouraged me and looked after me, so we made

:54:35. > :54:38.it two weeks longer than we did with the twins, and that made all the

:54:39. > :54:46.difference. My twins were born just under 23 weeks, neither of them

:54:47. > :54:51.breathed outside of the worm -- womb, they were both technically

:54:52. > :54:54.stillborn. It was a tough time. The thought that history would repeat

:54:55. > :55:01.itself was dreadful, but we had a lot of care. Linked to the campaign,

:55:02. > :55:07.I was not afraid to speak out, but you have lost babies Yuko over it

:55:08. > :55:14.again and again, thinking, what could I have done differently? I

:55:15. > :55:19.wish I had flagged something up. I was not afraid to speak out. More

:55:20. > :55:27.women should be encouraged to speak out if they have concerns. This is

:55:28. > :55:36.speaking out, how important is that to you? Have you seen it make a

:55:37. > :55:41.difference? It is vital. This whole Tommy's campaign is to empower women

:55:42. > :55:46.to trust their instinct. I think that instinct is the most powerful

:55:47. > :55:51.tool you have is a woman, a pregnant woman. You are the voice for you and

:55:52. > :55:55.your unborn baby, and if you are worried about anything, no matter

:55:56. > :55:59.how silly you think it is, this is the time to ask a midwife and get

:56:00. > :56:05.things checked out. Every day that that baby stays in the whim is

:56:06. > :56:10.really important, isn't it? Yes, we know that, and we know how well

:56:11. > :56:17.babies are doing now, compared to 20 years ago. We know that every single

:56:18. > :56:21.day when a woman is pregnant, it is better for the baby, because the

:56:22. > :56:26.baby will be growing. It is so important that if women are worried

:56:27. > :56:31.about anything, reduced movement, just not feeling right, that they

:56:32. > :56:36.speak to somebody. Put in an emergency toy for Hugo to keep him

:56:37. > :56:40.entertained! He is 19 months now, what is the long-term outlook? He

:56:41. > :56:46.has done incredibly well, he had a whole range of health issues in

:56:47. > :56:50.hospital, he had pulmonary hypertension, a PDA which required

:56:51. > :56:58.heart surgery to close, hernias, which required surgery again, a

:56:59. > :57:02.brain bleed, stage three retinopathy of premature tea, which can lead to

:57:03. > :57:08.blindness, but we are slowly crossing each one off. He is

:57:09. > :57:11.incredible. When you are in the unit you make friends with people, and

:57:12. > :57:15.some of the people did not get to take their babies home. It makes him

:57:16. > :57:22.even more precious, because we know how lucky we are. Let's pick up some

:57:23. > :57:26.of those thoughts. Have you seen during your career more baby

:57:27. > :57:33.surviving at a much earlier stage? Absolutely. Advances in medical

:57:34. > :57:40.technology and the research that Tommy's are doing is incredible. And

:57:41. > :57:46.Hugo's story is a great want to hear. There is so much work to be

:57:47. > :57:56.done, he spent seven months in hospital, so much work to be done

:57:57. > :57:59.but the babies are born. Yes, it is just the beginning, when they are

:58:00. > :58:01.born, and it is a long road for them and the families. But there is

:58:02. > :58:10.support there for them. What a star! He is giving me the

:58:11. > :58:14.evil eye now! Details of organisations

:58:15. > :58:15.offering information and support for premature birth

:58:16. > :58:17.are available at They've already saved the galaxy

:58:18. > :58:23.once, but not content with that, they're back to do it all again

:58:24. > :58:26.in the latest instalment of Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 sees

:58:27. > :58:32.the return of Chris Pratt as Star Lord, with his unlikely

:58:33. > :58:36.band of heroes. And this time, we also

:58:37. > :58:39.get to see his dad, I've been catching up with them

:58:40. > :58:42.and talking about everything from soundtracks to jellied eels

:58:43. > :58:46.and thumb wars. I saw the film a few days ago,

:58:47. > :58:53.and after I came out of the film, I was on the phone to my mum,

:58:54. > :58:57.she said, "What are you doing?" I said, "I have just seen

:58:58. > :59:00.Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2." I wrote this description down, you

:59:01. > :59:05.tell me if you think it is any good. I said, "These golden people

:59:06. > :59:07.who are really annoying but good at arcades chase Chris Pratt around

:59:08. > :59:10.the world, around the universe, It is a little denser

:59:11. > :59:21.than that, but pretty good! We can put a bar prices if we are

:59:22. > :59:38.two time Galaxy savers! I am not playing it down,

:59:39. > :59:40.they get a bit emotional. If the first one is about becoming

:59:41. > :59:45.a family, this is about There were elements of emotion

:59:46. > :59:51.in the first movie, that set the tone, and I think

:59:52. > :59:54.it is irreverent and colourful, and there's a great soundtrack,

:59:55. > :59:56.it's a lot of laughs and emotion, it's the same as the first movie

:59:57. > :59:59.in that regard, but everything I think the laughs are a little

:00:00. > :00:03.bigger, the action is bigger, Sometimes the thing

:00:04. > :00:07.you are searching for your whole life is right there by your

:00:08. > :00:33.side all along. It is interesting watching the

:00:34. > :00:37.movie, when I watch at the first time, what you get is his

:00:38. > :00:41.performance. We connect with him because he is human. What is great

:00:42. > :00:46.about what Chris does is the leading man in this sort of film is, more

:00:47. > :00:51.than any other one I can think of, he left to his character's emotions.

:00:52. > :00:55.He does not hide them, he lives with them. That opens up the whole movie

:00:56. > :00:58.in that regard and when it begins to get emotional it comes in waves.

:00:59. > :01:01.And in terms of the humour, which was so integral

:01:02. > :01:04.to the first one, I mean, I said to someone I counted 22

:01:05. > :01:09.You might sit through an entire comedy...

:01:10. > :01:14.I was about to say, you're an easy target!

:01:15. > :01:16.I do think it was intentionally funny.

:01:17. > :01:22.Because that will set off the bomb immediately,

:01:23. > :01:35.No, that is the button that will kill everyone!

:01:36. > :01:51.Try again. I am Groot. I am Groot. No! The director is super funny, he

:01:52. > :01:55.has a great point of view, he is a brilliant mad genius and has earned

:01:56. > :02:00.the trust of Marvel with the success of the first movie and they said

:02:01. > :02:04.what you have in mind and he said, are you sure?! All right, I will

:02:05. > :02:07.give you what I want. He loves getting laps, from the first movie

:02:08. > :02:14.he had permission to be even funnier. Have things like this in

:02:15. > :02:20.Fast And Furious changed how you think about franchise movies and the

:02:21. > :02:25.success they can be? I'm just about my salary! My part of it is... Know,

:02:26. > :02:33.all movies are the same, you had to get in there and do the to create

:02:34. > :02:37.something that hopefully 35, 38, 42, 60 years from now will be something

:02:38. > :02:41.that somebody goes, what's this, I haven't seen this? They have an

:02:42. > :02:47.experience when they watch it. For me, that is the goal, to be able to

:02:48. > :02:50.always have something that somebody somewhere someplace can enjoy. This

:02:51. > :03:00.is weird, we have a sovereign fleet approaching from the rear. Why would

:03:01. > :03:06.they do that? I don't know, what a mystery this is!

:03:07. > :03:08.What is it like working next to Kurt Russell?

:03:09. > :03:20.I told you it was not going to be easy!

:03:21. > :03:25.No, it's been great, it's been really cool.

:03:26. > :03:28.There are some few career paths where you can look at someone

:03:29. > :03:31.who is a legend or an icon to you, and then come to the point

:03:32. > :03:34.where you are, like, holy cow, I'm working intimately

:03:35. > :03:38.You know, I had to get it out of the way, and when I first

:03:39. > :03:41.saw Kurt and met Kurt, and told what a big fan I am,

:03:42. > :03:55.I did, I did, and then I got to know...

:03:56. > :04:00.Where you build up an imaginary person in your mind...

:04:01. > :04:03.After all these years, I've found you.

:04:04. > :04:18.When we first pitched the idea and I was like, dude, if it is my dad, it

:04:19. > :04:21.has to be Kurt Russell. They were like, let's focus on what we can

:04:22. > :04:26.actually accomplish, there is no sense and adding our hopes high. Who

:04:27. > :04:30.can we actually get? Kurt Russell would be the goal but who would we

:04:31. > :04:33.settle for? It turned out he wanted to do it, we were pumped. You can

:04:34. > :04:38.see why. From meeting one. Perhaps foolishly, I asked

:04:39. > :04:40.the world of social media for some questions for you,

:04:41. > :04:43.just a few to finish on. Do either of you -

:04:44. > :04:45.or does anyone get a say It's written into the script,

:04:46. > :04:50.it's decided before we get it. Have either of you got a favourite

:04:51. > :04:55.snack from your time in the UK? You have been here

:04:56. > :04:56.a while, haven't you? You are starting to

:04:57. > :05:11.insult the jellied eel. It looks bad, you don't

:05:12. > :05:18.want to even look at it. Fish and chips, I guess,

:05:19. > :05:20.fish and chips. Final one, and quite a few others -

:05:21. > :05:26.who would win a game of thumb Have you ever played

:05:27. > :05:56.a game of thumb war? I think Chris was backing away from

:05:57. > :05:59.that. He was afraid of Kurt Russell. I think wily old Russell might have

:06:00. > :06:03.done him with the technique, but Chris Pratt is a big lad.

:06:04. > :06:04.You laughed a lot? I genuinely enjoyed it.

:06:05. > :06:07.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is out on Friday.

:06:08. > :06:09.In a moment, we'll be joined by the actor and star

:06:10. > :06:15.of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Anthony Head.

:06:16. > :07:51.First, though, here's a last, brief look at the headlines

:07:52. > :07:59.For now, though, thanks for watching and have a lovely day.

:08:00. > :08:02.He's starred in shows ranging from Doctor Who to Little Britain,

:08:03. > :08:05.but two decades on, people still stop him in the street to talk

:08:06. > :08:09.Anthony Head is best known for playing Rupert Giles

:08:10. > :08:11.in the cult TV series, which is about to celebrate

:08:12. > :08:18.He's currently performing in a production of Terence Rattigan's

:08:19. > :08:34.We're both big Buffy fans. Cool, so I. Do people still talk to you about

:08:35. > :08:39.it? Yes. What is extraordinary is it still spans the generations and it

:08:40. > :08:44.is still on in one form or another, it just goes in cycles. It is still

:08:45. > :08:49.on television. Because it only did seven seasons it had a finite arc,

:08:50. > :08:54.it was not one of those things that rolls into... So people still get a

:08:55. > :08:59.buzz. The first season is a little bit dated, but from thereon in it is

:09:00. > :09:01.still so relevant and so it is amazing. Let's have a little

:09:02. > :09:03.reminder. You play Rupert Giles,

:09:04. > :09:04.Buffy's father figure. The influx of the undead,

:09:05. > :09:10.the supernatural occurrences, There's a reason why you're

:09:11. > :09:15.here and and reason why it's now. Because now is the time

:09:16. > :09:18.my mom moved here. The science, as far as I can tell,

:09:19. > :09:40.points to a crucial mystical What is wonderful about seeing your

:09:41. > :09:44.performance, it was episode one! Yeah, 95, something like that. When

:09:45. > :09:50.you saw the scripts did you have an idea that this might be a winner? I

:09:51. > :09:53.was in a Tex-Mex restaurant in Santa Monica and laughing out loud and

:09:54. > :09:59.turning the pages to find out what happened. I had never read anything

:10:00. > :10:03.like it. Hadn't you just turn down a very good job opportunity? I was

:10:04. > :10:14.offered a guaranteed 44 episodes, which was unheard of at that time.

:10:15. > :10:17.And my agent over there was saying you have to do it, come on! My

:10:18. > :10:20.partner, I called to Ripon said what do I do, this is crazy, it does not

:10:21. > :10:22.feel right. She said there is something special around the corner,

:10:23. > :10:27.I can feel it, it was Buffy, it was amazing. She was right, she is

:10:28. > :10:32.always right. She is a genius. It was when we could not just go

:10:33. > :10:38.online and find these television series, you had to wait for it.

:10:39. > :10:42.Things have changed so much. Yes, now you can... Sometimes I binge

:10:43. > :10:45.watch but I like to try to string things out a little bit. I have just

:10:46. > :10:59.finished The Crown, which was amazing. If people

:11:00. > :11:01.still talk to you about Buffy, they must talk about the coffee adverts?

:11:02. > :11:05.Yeah. How much Buffy, how much coffee? The coffee is just, O... But

:11:06. > :11:11.people grew up through Buffy and it helped them through the tough

:11:12. > :11:16.teenage years. So many people still say Buffy actually saved their life,

:11:17. > :11:21.that is nothing to do with me, lattice Joss Weedon, I say. He had

:11:22. > :11:29.such an ability to write things that made... It resonated. People

:11:30. > :11:35.understood completely, he seems to understand everybody else.

:11:36. > :11:40.Tell is a little bit about Love in Idleness, it is a curious history?

:11:41. > :11:44.Fascinating. It is the first player I have ever done which halfway

:11:45. > :11:50.through rehearsals sold out, it was like, well. Whether that was Terence

:11:51. > :11:57.Rattigan, it is an extraordinary play. It is a combination of two

:11:58. > :12:01.plays, Trevor has put the original, which was called Less Than Kind,,

:12:02. > :12:09.which was never performed, and Terence Rattigan got a famous acting

:12:10. > :12:14.couple on board and they said do you mind if we just cut a little bit?

:12:15. > :12:19.They completely changed it and took the guts of it out and made it this

:12:20. > :12:24.light, frothy thing which was a huge success and transferred to Broadway

:12:25. > :12:30.but the essential play, which is this fascinating political treaties

:12:31. > :12:36.-- treatise about what happens at the end of the walk when socialism

:12:37. > :12:43.was taking over, it was socialism versus industrialism, at the same

:12:44. > :12:46.time this very thing story about my character, who is an industrialist

:12:47. > :12:53.and in the War Cabinet, he is Churchill's adviser, he is living

:12:54. > :12:57.with this woman, they are deeply in love and they can't get divorced --

:12:58. > :13:00.he can't get divorced but he is living in sin with this woman and

:13:01. > :13:07.then her son comes back from being sent abroad during the Blitz and he

:13:08. > :13:13.is a young socialists and I am an industrialist. It is fascinating. It

:13:14. > :13:18.is extraordinary, it is a light, frothy Noel Callard style comedy mix

:13:19. > :13:25.with Chekhov style tragedy. With little moments of farce. People say

:13:26. > :13:29.where has this play being, it is extraordinary. It is the first time

:13:30. > :13:30.it has ever been put together like this. Very clever. Thank you for

:13:31. > :13:32.coming to see us. Love in Idleness is the name

:13:33. > :13:35.of the play Anthony is starring in. It transfers to London's Apollo

:13:36. > :13:37.Theatre on the 18th of May. Brilliant. Go and see it. If you can

:13:38. > :13:41.get a ticket! We'll be back tomorrow from 6am,

:13:42. > :13:48.and we'll be joined Every day, we're bombarded with

:13:49. > :13:52.conflicting messages
