:00:09. > :00:11.A big rise in the number of men and boys seeking help
:00:12. > :00:23.In an exclusive report for this programme we speak to some
:00:24. > :00:25.of the people struggling with the disorder and examine
:00:26. > :00:28.figures showing a 27% increase in males wanting
:00:29. > :00:43.Good morning, it's Thursday, May four.
:00:44. > :00:45.Also this morning: Five weeks ahead of the general election,

:00:50. > :00:58.Shops can stop accepting old style fivers in less than 48 hours but 150
:00:59. > :01:04.The construction sector is growing fast but builders are finding it
:01:05. > :01:07.hard to recruit people to fill the jobs that are being created.
:01:08. > :01:11.In Sport, Italian Champion Juventus took a big stride towards
:01:12. > :01:20.Jose Mourinho has set his sights on winning the Europa League in the
:01:21. > :01:20.semi-final tonight. Also this morning: The story
:01:21. > :01:23.of eight-year-old Marin and her friendship with police
:01:24. > :01:27.dog in training Tag. He is my best friend. He is
:01:28. > :01:42.basically my special BFF. There is a north - south split, in
:01:43. > :01:46.the north it will be sunny, in the south it will be cloudy with showery
:01:47. > :01:50.outbreaks of rain. In the east in the breeze once again it will be
:01:51. > :01:51.chilly. I have more in just over ten minutes.
:01:52. > :01:55.A BBC Breakfast investigation into the treatment of eating
:01:56. > :01:58.disorder has shown rising numbers of men being affected by conditions
:01:59. > :02:02.Figures obtained through a Freedom of Information request showed
:02:03. > :02:04.the number of males receiving out-patent treatment in England
:02:05. > :02:17.is rising at double the rate of female patients.
:02:18. > :02:20.Figures from 35 NHS Trusts in England showed the number of male
:02:21. > :02:23.patients increasing by 27% in the last three years.
:02:24. > :02:25.The number of women receiving outpatient treatment rose 13% over
:02:26. > :02:31.And rates of treatment for boys under 18 climbed by more
:02:32. > :02:42.Professionals say the rise might be down to changing perceptions over
:02:43. > :02:50.eating disorders. Boys and men are realising that this
:02:51. > :02:57.is an illness and this is not a choice. As a society, we are being
:02:58. > :03:02.fed a daily diet of controversy around what constitutes good and bad
:03:03. > :03:09.food, what a perfect body means. We're going to be talking
:03:10. > :03:12.more about this story through the morning, hearing from
:03:13. > :03:15.experts and by men who've been affected by conditions like anorexia

:03:41. > :03:45.seats are up for grabs. In England the focus is on 34 mainly county
:03:46. > :03:51.councils. Eight mayoral elections will take place, six in new post-s
:03:52. > :03:55.in Cambridgeshire, Peter Brock, Greater Manchester, Liverpool city,
:03:56. > :04:01.the West Midlands and the west of England. All of Scotland's 32
:04:02. > :04:06.councils and 22 in Wales are holding elections. The BBC won't report the
:04:07. > :04:13.general election campaign until polls close at 10am. The first

:04:29. > :04:40.Our Europe correspondent James Reynolds reports.
:04:41. > :04:47.For the first time Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen sat directly
:04:48. > :04:54.across from one another. Right from the start of this debate they began
:04:55. > :05:00.their attacks. TRANSLATION: Mr Macron is the candidate of savage
:05:01. > :05:06.globalisation uberisation, social brutality, every man for himself.
:05:07. > :05:09.TRANSLATION: You have shown you are not the candidate for a balanced
:05:10. > :05:14.democratic debate. The question is, do the people want your attitude?
:05:15. > :05:18.You say that globalisation is too hard. Let's chop the borders and
:05:19. > :05:26.leave the euro because others succeed, not ours. The atmosphere
:05:27. > :05:30.was heated. At times the moderators hardly managed to get a word in.
:05:31. > :05:40.TRANSLATION: I treat their friends like adults. You lie all the time.
:05:41. > :05:44.Marine Le Pen spent much of her time attacking her opponent. She avoided
:05:45. > :05:48.discussion of her own proposals. Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen
:05:49. > :05:55.presented two very different visions of France and theirs was a debate
:05:56. > :05:59.marked by attacks and accusations. They head out now to the rest of the
:06:00. > :06:01.country for the final days of the campaign.
:06:02. > :06:04.We will be live in Paris with a panel of guests
:06:05. > :06:09.Researchers have developed a blood test which could prevent thousands
:06:10. > :06:11.of men with advanced prostate cancer from
:06:12. > :06:14.The technique, which costs less than ?50 a time,
:06:15. > :06:16.will help doctors tell whether patients will respond

:06:26. > :06:28.The number of people using the social networking site
:06:29. > :06:30.Facebook has risen to nearly two billion.
:06:31. > :06:34.The US tech giant has also announced a 76% rise in profits for the first

:06:55. > :06:58.Tomorrow is the last day you can use your old five pound notes
:06:59. > :07:00.They're being withdrawn from midnight Friday,
:07:01. > :07:03.but the Bank of England says there are still 150 million
:07:04. > :07:10.Here's our personal finance correspondent, Simon Gompertz.
:07:11. > :07:17.15 years since the paper ?5 note featuring Elizabeth Fry entered

:07:22. > :07:25.Despite the clock ticking for the old note plenty still have them and

:07:34. > :07:40.Absolute surprise. -- idea. I am told it is finishing. Did you know
:07:41. > :07:48.that the old ?5 note finishes on Friday night? No. It is. Is it is a
:07:49. > :07:54.prize? Yes, of course. The Bank of England says 150 million fivers are
:07:55. > :08:00.at large, ?750 million worth, three notes for each adult in the UK in
:08:01. > :08:05.Tilse, purses and jam jars. After Friday you will still be able to
:08:06. > :08:08.take your ?5 note into your own bank and deposit them or exchange them --
:08:09. > :08:16.tills. But shops won't accept them, so you are best off spending them
:08:17. > :08:20.before then. The Bank of England says it will accept returns of the
:08:21. > :08:21.paper notes for all time but they will stop being legal tender from
:08:22. > :08:24.midnight tomorrow. For the first time, scientists have
:08:25. > :08:27.started counting endangered birds from space using high
:08:28. > :08:34.resolution satellite images. Numbers of the Northern Royal
:08:35. > :08:37.albatross, one of the largest of the species, have previously
:08:38. > :08:40.been hard to assess, as it only nests on a small group
:08:41. > :08:43.of remote and rocky islands east Here's our science
:08:44. > :08:47.correspondent Rebecca Morelle. They're the world's largest flying
:08:48. > :08:51.birds but despite being so easy to spot counting
:08:52. > :08:58.albatrosses is tricky. Most of these birds nest on islands
:08:59. > :09:01.which are extremely remote and difficult to access but now
:09:02. > :09:05.there's a new way to get a tally Scientists are using a powerful US
:09:06. > :09:11.satellite to zoom in on places like the Chatham Islands
:09:12. > :09:19.in the South Pacific. Ultra high-res images can map areas
:09:20. > :09:22.down to 30 centimetres, which means each albatross
:09:23. > :09:25.appears as a white dot and researchers
:09:26. > :09:27.simply top them up. It means we finally
:09:28. > :09:32.have a number for this species, Scientists were unsure how many
:09:33. > :09:35.birds there were but the satellite It's less than conservationists
:09:36. > :09:42.hoped but many albatross species They're facing serious threats,
:09:43. > :09:49.from the plastics polluting our Researchers say these counts
:09:50. > :09:53.from space are essential. Knowing how many albatrosses
:09:54. > :09:57.there are now will help us to track The 29th annual Sunday Times Rich
:09:58. > :10:06.List is out this weekend and it might not come as a surprise who has
:10:07. > :10:09.been named the richest Yes, she's still in her 20s,
:10:10. > :10:23.but Adele's wealth has reached 125 million pounds, up 50%
:10:24. > :10:25.in the last year alone. Her global tour and her third album
:10:26. > :10:29."25" has put the British singer at number 19 in the chart,
:10:30. > :10:32.which is topped by Sir Paul McCartney and his
:10:33. > :10:34.wife Nancy Shevell. Adele is also the only female solo
:10:35. > :10:48.artist to make the list. A freeze-frame on her. Well, she is
:10:49. > :10:54.number one. She is doing well. Today is of course the fourth
:10:55. > :10:58.of May, but for fans of a certain sci-fi film franchise
:10:59. > :11:03.it's Star Wars Day. And if you've ever fancied yourself
:11:04. > :11:11.as a budding Han Solo or Princess Leia, then
:11:12. > :11:13.there's a bar for you, in a galaxy far, far away, well,
:11:14. > :11:19.Hollywood to be precise. At 'The Scum and Villainy Cantina'
:11:20. > :11:22.people dress up as their favourite characters, in a pub inspired
:11:23. > :11:35.by the bar that featured I think I saw someone dressed in
:11:36. > :11:42.star straight stuff, not Star Wars. He looks just like Hans Solo. That
:11:43. > :11:43.is the place to be. Today of all days.
:11:44. > :11:57.Are you a fan? Star Wars, or Star Trek? Star Wars. My husband is mad
:11:58. > :12:03.on Star Trek and I come home and he is watching it and I am like, no.
:12:04. > :12:08.Not something I would necessarily share on national television. I
:12:09. > :12:15.think he does. He doesn't. Trust me. That would be the end of the
:12:16. > :12:21.marriage. Europa League final four Manchester United and listening to
:12:22. > :12:25.Jose Mourinho, he has put his eggs in one basket. He said the Premier
:12:26. > :12:29.League is over, the only way to get into the Champions League is to go
:12:30. > :12:35.through the Europa League. And I am wondering what the fans feel this
:12:36. > :12:39.morning. Should they push? They are only a point behind City in the
:12:40. > :12:44.Premier League. They shouldn't give up. It would be a dull run in. Do
:12:45. > :12:47.you believe him? The mast of reverse psychology.
:12:48. > :12:50.Jose Mourniho appears to have given up on a top four finish
:12:51. > :12:54.It's the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo
:12:55. > :12:57.tonight and he's set his sights on that to qualify
:12:58. > :12:59.for the Champions League next season.
:13:00. > :13:02.Manchester City's women came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw
:13:03. > :13:04.against Birmingham in the WSL Spring Series.

:13:12. > :13:20.Fernando Alonso will raise at the Indy 500. He passed his rookie test
:13:21. > :13:22.and he described it as fun and said that he wanted to go faster.
:13:23. > :13:25.Ilie Nastase says Wimbledon organisers are "small-minded"
:13:26. > :13:28.after they said he will not be invited to the Royal Box this year.
:13:29. > :13:31.Romania's Fed Cup captain is under investigation for comments he made
:13:32. > :13:34.about Serena Williams' unborn child and to Britain's Jo Konta
:13:35. > :13:45.Very angry about the fact he won't be invited. That row is not going
:13:46. > :13:49.away. He is still under investigation. Wimbledon said
:13:50. > :13:53.regardless of the outcome he won't get a special invitation. Well, I
:13:54. > :13:54.like it when they take a strong line. It is great.
:13:55. > :13:57.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
:13:58. > :14:11.Actually started the day. Plus not all. Yesterday once again parts of
:14:12. > :14:15.north-west Scotland hit 20 Celsius in blue skies. Compared to what
:14:16. > :14:19.happened in the south-east, where we had a lot of cloud. In east Sussex
:14:20. > :14:23.the Cameron Jerome got up to nine. Today it will be fairly similar.
:14:24. > :14:30.This morning we have a lot of cloud in southern areas. The odd spot of
:14:31. > :14:34.rain. As we drift towards the south-west it is cloudy start again.
:14:35. > :14:39.The same across Wales and northern England. Across north-east England,
:14:40. > :14:44.into Scotland and Northern Ireland we've got a chilly start, but the
:14:45. > :14:50.sunny. The sunshine will last for much of the day. At the moment it's
:14:51. > :14:55.lapping onshore across the Northern Isles and the mainland of Scotland.
:14:56. > :14:59.The northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland you will have
:15:00. > :15:05.almost unbroken blue skies. Wales will have some of that cloud rake
:15:06. > :15:12.up, in the Midlands and Wales. The far south of England hanging onto
:15:13. > :15:18.some cloud. With the onshore breeze it will still feel cold. 20 Celsius
:15:19. > :15:24.is possible once again across the west Highlands. Into the evening and
:15:25. > :15:28.overnight there will still be quite noticeable breeze. Gusty across the
:15:29. > :15:34.Pennines today. Still gusty through the evening as well. We have all of
:15:35. > :15:38.that cloud maintaining temperatures. Where the cloud is broken it will be
:15:39. > :15:42.cooler, especially in the countryside as these temperatures
:15:43. > :15:47.show. Frost possible, similar to this morning. The rest of the
:15:48. > :15:54.forecast for tomorrow shows the north of the country having a lot of
:15:55. > :15:57.sunshine. After seeing some cloud in parts of the north-east of Scotland
:15:58. > :16:01.and the Northern Isles it will tend to fade and be slower than today.
:16:02. > :16:05.Still a lot of cloud in the south. North Wales, Scotland and Northern
:16:06. > :16:10.Ireland getting the lion's share of the sunshine, but temperatures will
:16:11. > :16:15.be down on the day. Still pleasant for the time of year. In the Friday
:16:16. > :16:19.evening and Saturday we have this approaching weather front. Initially
:16:20. > :16:23.we have some showers coming in across south-west England and the
:16:24. > :16:27.Channel Islands. This is what will happen on Saturday. Some rain moving
:16:28. > :16:33.in across the south-west and southern counties. The timing and
:16:34. > :16:37.position could change. If you have outdoor plans and you are in the
:16:38. > :16:40.south of the country on Saturday bet that in mind. Also affecting the
:16:41. > :16:45.Channel Islands. North of that, variable amounts of cloud, sunny
:16:46. > :16:49.skies and sunshine. Then as we had from Saturday and into Sunday that
:16:50. > :16:54.pulls away into the near continent. Things are drier. Not much of a
:16:55. > :16:59.breeze. There will be some sunny skies as well. The wind changes
:17:00. > :17:04.direction. Coming from more of a northerly direction. Feeling fresh
:17:05. > :17:09.in some parts, especially in parts of the north where it has been so
:17:10. > :17:12.warm. I believe you are joining us in the
:17:13. > :17:18.latest craze this morning. Is that right? I am!
:17:19. > :17:21.We are already the win them all over the place! Do you know what to do
:17:22. > :17:27.with it? You've got a good one! All I know is
:17:28. > :17:31.you spin it. Somebody said you spin it like that and then you try and
:17:32. > :17:36.hold it. That's right! Perfect! Carol winds
:17:37. > :17:41.already. I will tell you who is losing
:17:42. > :17:46.already. Steph, this is what remains of hers. It already broken and we've
:17:47. > :17:52.been on air how long? 30 seconds... I think Carol has
:17:53. > :17:59.gotten the best one. The idea of the spinner is that it
:18:00. > :18:04.helps people with stress. A lot of people with autism. It's to
:18:05. > :18:13.do with helping concentrate. How is it going for you?
:18:14. > :18:18.She is perfectly balanced. There's not much to it, really. It
:18:19. > :18:24.just sits on your finger and spins. Some people complain and they say
:18:25. > :18:27.all that happens is you go silent and look at it, which isn't great
:18:28. > :18:30.for television. You aren't allowed to take on the
:18:31. > :18:35.school any more because apparently they are too distracting.
:18:36. > :18:42.Your next task, Carol, is to hold your quicker in one hand and that in
:18:43. > :18:49.the other. That's a challenge! I will try! Let's have a look at
:18:50. > :18:52.some of the papers. There's a reason why we aren't doing a front pages,
:18:53. > :18:57.because the local elections are under way and we have very strict
:18:58. > :19:01.rules on what politics we are able to cover. So the front pages are
:19:02. > :19:03.out, but we will go through the inside pages.
:19:04. > :19:08.It gives us time to talk about what's going on inside. I like this
:19:09. > :19:12.story, from the Telegraph. This is a car company that has developed
:19:13. > :19:16.something that means you can put your phone in the glovebox of your
:19:17. > :19:20.car and it will stop your phone getting a signal. Therefore you
:19:21. > :19:24.aren't distracted if your phone beeps, if it wins while you are
:19:25. > :19:32.driving. You just have to make the decision to lock it away and then in
:19:33. > :19:40.locks it. The Times. This is a story about bad
:19:41. > :19:43.behaviour. It is found that nearly half of teachers have to remove
:19:44. > :19:48.children from class at least once a week. Two thirds of pupils were
:19:49. > :19:53.removed at least once a month because of bad behaviour. It is
:19:54. > :20:02.interesting. Is it better to have someone quiet on messing around?
:20:03. > :20:11.And engaged. Yes. Interesting. Why do children always have to be quiet
:20:12. > :20:16.in school? This from the Mail. They say but is over 55 are drinking more
:20:17. > :20:21.than young people. A new survey suggests that 55% of people over 60
:20:22. > :20:26.57 had at least one alcoholic drink in the previous week, making them
:20:27. > :20:35.officially regular drinkers. But if you are of the Facebook generation
:20:36. > :20:41.you have less than half of that. I want to talk about petrol prices.
:20:42. > :20:48.There is a price war going on. One of the papers picks up on it. It
:20:49. > :20:59.says Morrison's, Tesco and Sainsbury's are cutting diesel by 2
:21:00. > :21:06.pence a litre. That's the equivalent of about ?1.10 you would save. And
:21:07. > :21:10.about 55p off unleaded. Not a massive difference when you use your
:21:11. > :21:16.car a lot. My husband likes to drive around looking for the cheapest one.
:21:17. > :21:22.Does he drive around wearing his Star Trek clothes? He does. A nice
:21:23. > :21:28.insight into my family life. Very unusual. This caught my eye about
:21:29. > :21:36.the javelin thrower who announced her retirement. She came fourth at
:21:37. > :21:39.the Olympics, but since then the Russian athlete who won silver has
:21:40. > :21:44.been disqualified for testing positive for banned substances.
:21:45. > :21:49.They've apparently been waiting for ages to be upgraded to get that
:21:50. > :21:56.bronze medal that she rightfully on. Just a really interesting insight
:21:57. > :22:02.into the kind of effect that cheating can have on clean athletes.
:22:03. > :22:06.She has not only been robbed of the moment but of her successful
:22:07. > :22:10.retirement. She has been waiting to announce her retirement because she
:22:11. > :22:14.wanted to retire without bronze medal, but because of the lengthy
:22:15. > :22:18.legal process she hasn't been able to... She says she knows the German
:22:19. > :22:22.athlete who has the medal. She says she could go to Germany and pick up
:22:23. > :22:26.that medal and see her friend at the same time, but she says she can't

:22:32. > :22:37.career. But she has had to call time on it. She isn't the only one. Many

:22:42. > :22:44.Breakfast from BBC News. Often when we talk about anorexia
:22:45. > :22:47.and bulimia, the focus is on how these conditions affect
:22:48. > :22:49.girls and women. But a BBC Breakfast investigation
:22:50. > :22:52.has found increasing numbers of men and boys are seeking
:22:53. > :22:54.treatment for them. A Freedom of Information request
:22:55. > :22:57.showed the number of males receiving outpatient treatment
:22:58. > :22:59.for eating disorders in England has increased at twice the rate
:23:00. > :23:10.of female patients in Food just frightens me now. I go for

:23:23. > :23:25.some kind of strange satisfaction out of seeing people enjoy the
:23:26. > :23:30.things that I don't feel able to enjoy myself. Simon has been
:23:31. > :23:36.anorexic for nearly two years. Logically I know that I need to eat
:23:37. > :23:41.to live, otherwise at the end of the day this will kill me and it doesn't
:23:42. > :23:52.make a blind bit of difference because every time I try and it I
:23:53. > :23:57.can't. I've always had an unhealthy relationship with food. I was really
:23:58. > :24:01.quite big, ugly about 23 or 24 stone. I had a heart attack. I guess
:24:02. > :24:06.it had a deep psychological effect. I will do everything they can to
:24:07. > :24:14.reverse the effect of whatever I've eaten. I tend to walk as far as my
:24:15. > :24:18.body will allow me to walk. The number of male patients being
:24:19. > :24:23.treated for eating disorders across England has risen by more than a
:24:24. > :24:26.quarter over the past three years. That's more than double the rise of
:24:27. > :24:30.seeming female patients. The number of boys being treated as corn up by
:24:31. > :24:34.a third in the last year alone. Despite the increase, the total
:24:35. > :24:40.number of male patients treated last year, about 1200, still represents
:24:41. > :24:44.only 8% of the total and these figures don't necessarily mean that
:24:45. > :24:50.more men have eating disorders, it could be that the stigma is lifting
:24:51. > :24:56.and that more as the king help. Boys and men are realising that this is
:24:57. > :25:02.an illness and not a choice. This doctor is based at the Julian
:25:03. > :25:05.hospital in Norwich and treats under-18s with eating disorders. She
:25:06. > :25:10.is seen more boys than ever walk through her door. With boys I see a
:25:11. > :25:16.lot of obsession around shape. Bulking yourself and muscle mass and
:25:17. > :25:23.what does it mean to be a man? As a society we are being fed a daily
:25:24. > :25:28.diet of controversy around what constitutes good food and bad food,
:25:29. > :25:34.what a perfect body means. NHS England says more support like the
:25:35. > :25:37.type offered here is being made available. Treatments include
:25:38. > :25:43.psychotherapy, counselling, sometimes dedication. It's not
:25:44. > :25:47.something you just snap out of, it's not something that goes away, it's
:25:48. > :25:52.an illness. Simon is urging others to speak up and seek help. He feels

:41:44. > :41:46.to new targeted drugs, and which might be better served
:41:47. > :41:48.by alternative therapies. Let's speak to Dr Iain Frame
:41:49. > :41:57.from Prostate Cancer UK. Thank you very much for your time
:41:58. > :42:01.this morning, Doctor. So, let's be very clear about this, this is for
:42:02. > :42:06.patients who have already had advanced stages of prostate cancer?
:42:07. > :42:11.Yes, this is a test that will determine whether a man is going to
:42:12. > :42:19.respond to one or two drugs that are used when all other treatment
:42:20. > :42:27.options have been exhausted. Explained for us what that would
:42:28. > :42:31.mean? One is a simple, cheap blood test. It means that the men who have
:42:32. > :42:39.gone through a lot to get to where they have got to advanced prostate
:42:40. > :42:45.cancer can be told whether it will work not. Some men are on this for
:42:46. > :42:51.at least three months before they are told it is not working. This is
:42:52. > :42:55.a much better way to go about treatment. It is looking at the
:42:56. > :43:04.precision medicine approach. We are looking at the treatment at
:43:05. > :43:08.the right We are looking at the treatment at
:43:09. > :43:10.the right time. So, judging from what you are
:43:11. > :43:14.the right time. So, judging from what you are saying, given the
:43:15. > :43:17.conditions, that they are in advanced stages, what is the
:43:18. > :43:20.prognosis, what other benefits for getting right treatment? Well, a
:43:21. > :43:22.prognosis, what other benefits for getting right treatment? Well, a lot
:43:23. > :43:28.of men survive a long time on these drugs. When it works, it works well.
:43:29. > :43:32.There is a range of different prostate cancer is responding to
:43:33. > :43:36.different drugs. The idea is that if you get it right, the prognosis will
:43:37. > :43:39.be better and these men will survive much longer than they would if they
:43:40. > :43:43.were not responding to the drug and he had to have different options.
:43:44. > :43:48.Now, often with developments in medical science, cost is an issue.
:43:49. > :43:50.Just give an idea of the cost of this and also how soon anyone can
:43:51. > :43:52.take this and also how soon anyone can
:43:53. > :43:56.take advantage of it. That is another good thing about this.
:43:57. > :44:03.Researchers put the cost at around ?50 per test. So, that's reasonable.
:44:04. > :44:04.Even this is a test that uses quite high precision science, scientific
:44:05. > :44:09.tools, high precision science, scientific
:44:10. > :44:15.tools, they've looked at it as how to give it as a test in real life.
:44:16. > :44:21.They have tested it on 265 men. They plan to test it on 1000 men. It is a
:44:22. > :44:26.sort of real-life situation to ensure the results from the early
:44:27. > :44:31.studies translate to the lab. Certainly they are looking at cost
:44:32. > :44:36.and they are looking at a cost that is reasonable to the NHS and to help
:44:37. > :44:42.save money. And, clearly, the issue of early detection is absolutely
:44:43. > :44:49.crucial. Yes, it is big for me and for Prostate Cancer UK. This example
:44:50. > :44:56.of precision medicine, getting the right treatment at the right time,
:44:57. > :44:57.it has to be good. If we can have a risk assessment tool to do that and
:44:58. > :44:59.it has to be good. If we can have a risk assessment tool to do that and
:45:00. > :45:03.develop a screening programme, we can get men into the system who need
:45:04. > :45:06.to be Ian and give them the right treatment, so then their outcomes
:45:07. > :45:11.will be much better. You are right, this is key to what we are trying to
:45:12. > :45:14.do. Thank you very much. Director of research at Prostate Cancer UK.

:46:39. > :46:41.set up altogether. A couple of showers dotted around but not as
:46:42. > :46:44.cold. A cloudy start in south-eastern areas and into the
:46:45. > :46:47.south-east of England and Wales this morning. But as we move into
:46:48. > :46:54.northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland it's a sunny start
:46:55. > :46:58.the day. Low cloud across the Northern Isles and the far
:46:59. > :47:03.north-east of England. That will melt away and we will have blue
:47:04. > :47:07.skies. Northern Ireland, chilly, but another belter of a day in terms of
:47:08. > :47:11.sunshine. Through the day we hang on the north-easterly breeze. It will
:47:12. > :47:15.be windy at times. Gusty in the Pennines. Their that in mind if you
:47:16. > :47:20.are travelling. It will take the edge off the temperatures. Look out
:47:21. > :47:24.the cloud belts towards the Midlands and parts of Wales as well. We will
:47:25. > :47:29.have sunshine by the afternoon. Top temperatures will be across
:47:30. > :47:37.north-west Scotland again. 20 Celsius, 6-8 Fahrenheit. Overnight
:47:38. > :47:43.we still have this keen breeze. A couple of showers, not many. Under
:47:44. > :47:46.the clear skies further north it will be cold enough for a cut of
:47:47. > :47:53.frost. These temperatures indicate what we can expect in towns and
:47:54. > :47:57.cities. But in the countryside -2, perhaps freezing around the Central
:47:58. > :48:01.Lowlands. Tomorrow morning we start off on a cold motorbike and will be
:48:02. > :48:07.a lot of sunshine again. Still this keen breeze. Down the North Sea
:48:08. > :48:14.coastline. We still have the cloud in southern areas. Temperatures down
:48:15. > :48:18.a touch on where we would expect them today, especially in the north.
:48:19. > :48:25.By the evening we start to have showers coming in. That will bring
:48:26. > :48:29.some rain on Saturday. The timing and placement of this could change,
:48:30. > :48:34.so if you have outdoor plans on Saturday bet that in mind. This is
:48:35. > :48:36.what we think coming across the south-west in southern counties and
:48:37. > :48:42.the Channel Islands. Behind it, dry weather and a bit more cloud.
:48:43. > :48:47.Heading into Sunday that moves away. Sunday will be largely dry. Not much
:48:48. > :48:52.of a breeze. More cloud in the north and not as warm in the north as it
:48:53. > :48:58.has been. Into the new week things are changing.
:48:59. > :49:01.The construction sector is growing fast but builders are finding it
:49:02. > :49:05.hard to recruit people to fill the jobs that are being created.
:49:06. > :49:13.I do talk about the skills shortage quite a lot and today it is the
:49:14. > :49:14.construction industry talking about it. Good morning.
:49:15. > :49:16.Latest industry figures show building trade expanding
:49:17. > :49:18.at the fastest rate so far this year.
:49:19. > :49:25.Great news for companies in the industry, but
:49:26. > :49:28.there is a problem with filling the jobs that are created.
:49:29. > :49:30.Caroline Oberman is from the construction recruitment
:49:31. > :49:40.Good morning. What are the types of jobs you are finding that people are
:49:41. > :49:46.struggling to fill? It could be anything from the nonskilled worker,
:49:47. > :49:49.the labourer, right up to more skilled workers such as joiners, the
:49:50. > :49:56.players and other management as well. There's a lack of skill in
:49:57. > :50:00.every area the board. In terms of getting people to fill these jobs,
:50:01. > :50:04.why did you think there's a problem? Why have we got the skills gap? I
:50:05. > :50:08.think there are couple of reasons for the gap at the moment. It is
:50:09. > :50:12.quite expensive for people to join the industry. I think that's put
:50:13. > :50:18.people off a little bit. For example, if you wanted to join as a
:50:19. > :50:23.labourer, an entry-level position, to get your card would cost you
:50:24. > :50:27.about ?180. For somebody out of work that would be a lot of money.
:50:28. > :50:32.There's not a lot of help from the government or the employer
:50:33. > :50:35.themselves. The cost is on the worker, which could put people.
:50:36. > :50:41.Another thing probably contributed to it is education. In schools and
:50:42. > :50:45.colleges that have been construction is something that is especially
:50:46. > :50:49.highlighted the people. And it's not seen as a job to go for, it's more
:50:50. > :50:52.academic courses that are pushed towards people rather than the
:50:53. > :50:57.construction industry is seen as a good industry to go into. You see
:50:58. > :51:05.that a lot with vocational work. It is often tricky to get people into
:51:06. > :51:09.it. I think it's a shame. It is seen as a second-rate job rather than
:51:10. > :51:13.something to be proud of and obviously the building industry is a
:51:14. > :51:17.fantastic industry to work in and should be more highlighted people, I
:51:18. > :51:21.think. The image of a builder, even from that picture behind you, is of
:51:22. > :51:26.people working in tough conditions out on sites in all weathers, in
:51:27. > :51:30.hard hats, which is great for some people but can put a lot of people
:51:31. > :51:35.off. Why is it a good industry to be in? I suppose it's a job for life as
:51:36. > :51:40.well. We always need people to build buildings. You don't have to be out
:51:41. > :51:44.on site. There are even more academic courses if you want to be a
:51:45. > :51:51.surveyor, or a plumber or something like that. But in terms of job
:51:52. > :51:56.satisfaction you can look at it for years to come. There aren't many
:51:57. > :52:00.other vocations where you have that satisfaction. What's the money like?
:52:01. > :52:08.It's definitely got better in the past years. Everybody suffered in a
:52:09. > :52:12.recession, so it was difficult for everyone, but the money is good for
:52:13. > :52:16.people if you work hard. You can earn a good decent wage. What a
:52:17. > :52:23.company is doing if they can't fill the gaps? It's a difficult question.
:52:24. > :52:26.People try to attract people just by paying more money. I think once you
:52:27. > :52:30.get to the higher level positions like the management side of things
:52:31. > :52:33.people are now interested in incentives, what will bring people
:52:34. > :52:39.into the industry. Vince like flex the hours, which previously were
:52:40. > :52:45.unheard of. There was a stigma of it being old-fashioned in that way. So
:52:46. > :52:49.to bring it a little bit more into the current times, things like flex
:52:50. > :52:55.the hours and things like that. To make it more flexible. Tanks very
:52:56. > :52:59.much for your time this morning. That's it from me for now. We should
:53:00. > :53:04.all be builders, basically! Thank you.
:53:05. > :53:06.Another special story now about an Thank you.
:53:07. > :53:07.Another special story now about an eight-year-old girl and her
:53:08. > :53:10.relationship with a police dog. When eight-year-old Marina was born,
:53:11. > :53:13.her arms and legs had In recent months, she's struck
:53:14. > :53:17.up a firm friendship with an eight-month
:53:18. > :53:21.old police puppy called Tag. Can we go and see Tag? With lessons
:53:22. > :53:27.old police puppy called Tag. Can we go and see Tag? With lessons
:53:28. > :53:30.finished for another day, eight-year-old Marina is desperate
:53:31. > :53:38.to get home. I did loads of art today in the afternoon. Waiting back
:53:39. > :53:48.at home is Tag. Daddy, I can't wait! He hears her coming and rushes to
:53:49. > :53:51.meet her. Hi! You're a good boy! Tag is an eight-month-old trainee police
:53:52. > :53:58.dog who for the next year will live with Marina's family. I missed you
:53:59. > :54:03.so much! Are you work a? But the pair have already developed a
:54:04. > :54:08.remarkable bond. -- are you OK? He is my best friend. He is basically
:54:09. > :54:12.my special BFF. The focus they've got is always on each other. They
:54:13. > :54:16.are always looking to each other to see where the other one is and what
:54:17. > :54:20.the other one doing and that the connection they've got and I just
:54:21. > :54:23.think it is wonderful to see it. It's been there from the very first
:54:24. > :54:26.time that I saw them and it's impossible to analyse it. He
:54:27. > :54:30.instinctively has an ability to know that he has got to behave himself in
:54:31. > :54:36.certain situations and not eat too rough and boisterous and he seems to
:54:37. > :54:40.understand Marina's situation. As a baby Marina was left in a Russian
:54:41. > :54:44.orphanage after being born without legs or an arm. When she was two
:54:45. > :54:50.years old she was adopted and given a home back here in Devon. What
:54:51. > :54:54.difference has it made, having Tag? She is really confident in her own
:54:55. > :54:58.comfort zone and with people she knows. But as soon as we are out,
:54:59. > :55:03.she is nearly nine and is becoming more self-aware and she knows people
:55:04. > :55:08.are looking. She is very different and she gets very nervous. Now when
:55:09. > :55:13.we are out with Tag she is confident in telling people about him. She is
:55:14. > :55:16.very proud of what we are doing and she is proud that she has this
:55:17. > :55:21.amazing bond with him. But Tag isn't a normal dog. With a career in the
:55:22. > :55:26.police waiting for him, by the end of the year she will have left
:55:27. > :55:31.Marina. IMO to be very sad, but I know he will be a very cool police
:55:32. > :55:36.dog and he is going to catch loads of baddies. An exceptional bond
:55:37. > :55:43.formed by an exceptional pair. A very cool police dog and a very
:55:44. > :55:46.formed by an exceptional pair. A very cool police dog and a very
:55:47. > :55:49.cool young lady. She knows he will have to go off and
:55:50. > :55:51.do his job. Absolutely.
:55:52. > :59:10.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:01:44. > :01:52.Women still account for the majority treated.
:01:53. > :01:57.Food frightens me now. Simon Bates for the majority treated.
:01:58. > :02:01.Food frightens me now. Simon Bates every day but gives everything he
:02:02. > :02:06.makes for friends, family and homeless charity. I get some kind of
:02:07. > :02:11.strange satisfaction out of seeing people enjoy the things that I don't
:02:12. > :02:20.feel able to enjoy myself. Simon has been anorexic for most two years.
:02:21. > :02:25.Logically I know that I need to eat. To live, otherwise at the end of the
:02:26. > :02:35.day this will kill me. Every time I try and eat, I can't. I have always
:02:36. > :02:42.had an unhealthy relationship with food, so I was really quite big,
:02:43. > :02:47.probably around 23- 34 stone. I had a heart attack. It had a deep
:02:48. > :02:52.psychological effect. I will do everything that I can to reverse the
:02:53. > :02:58.effect of whatever I've eaten. I tend to walk as far as my body will
:02:59. > :03:02.allow me to walk. The number of male patients being treated for eating
:03:03. > :03:07.disorders across England has risen by more than a quarter over the past
:03:08. > :03:11.three years. It has more than doubled the rise seen in female
:03:12. > :03:15.patients. The number of boys being treated has gone up by a third in
:03:16. > :03:20.the last year alone. Despite the increase, the total number of male
:03:21. > :03:24.patients treated last year, around 1200, still represents only 8% of
:03:25. > :03:28.the total. And these figures don't necessarily mean that more men have
:03:29. > :03:35.eating disorders. It could be that the stigma is lifting and that more
:03:36. > :03:40.are seeking help. Boys and men are realising that this is an illness
:03:41. > :03:45.and this is not a choice. This doctor is based at the Julian
:03:46. > :03:49.Hospital in Norwich and streets under 18s with eating disorders. She
:03:50. > :03:55.is seeing more boys than ever walk through her door. With boys we might
:03:56. > :03:59.see a lot of obsession around shape. So it is bulking yourself and muscle
:04:00. > :04:03.mass and what does it mean to be a man. NHS England says more support
:04:04. > :04:04.like the type offered here is being made available.

:08:24. > :08:25.Yes, good morning. This is something forecourts this week.
:08:26. > :08:29.Yes, good morning. This is something that gets the shoppers in. The
:08:30. > :08:34.supermarkets use it as a price war to get people into the shops. It is
:08:35. > :08:39.Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's, reducing diesel 2p to litre and

:08:51. > :08:54.interestingly, the RAC motoring group, they have some research today
:08:55. > :08:57.and they say that fuel should be cheaper than that and they should
:08:58. > :09:02.have brought it down even further because we have seen the price of
:09:03. > :09:07.oil fall recently. And also, the value of the pound, which we have
:09:08. > :09:11.talked about, it has started to pick up again, so the RAC has said for
:09:12. > :09:16.those reasons we should see the cost of fuel go down a little more. It is
:09:17. > :09:23.good news if you are feeling your car today. Interestingly, Asda, one
:09:24. > :09:27.of the other big supermarkets, isn't cutting and they say because they
:09:28. > :09:32.are cheaper than their rivals. People say, oh, things are more
:09:33. > :09:40.pricey than they used to be. Is it a signal of anything else, or is it a
:09:41. > :09:44.moment in time? It is hard to predict what next bite at the moment
:09:45. > :09:48.it is about supermarkets competing with each other and the fact that
:09:49. > :09:52.they can use the fact that oil prices have fallen in the short
:09:53. > :09:58.term. In the long-term it is hard to say whether they will go down or up.
:09:59. > :10:01.Actually, I would be minted if I could tell. Can you tell us? Well, I
:10:02. > :10:05.can't, so... LAUGHTER thank you. For the first time, scientists have

:11:15. > :11:16.outpatient treatment for conditions like anorexia and bulimia in England
:11:17. > :11:20.has increased by 27% over the last three years, compared
:11:21. > :11:22.to 13% for women. We're joined now by
:11:23. > :11:24.Doctor William Rhys Jones, a consultant psychiatrist
:11:25. > :11:36.from the Yorkshire Centre for Eating Good morning to you. Really
:11:37. > :11:40.distressing figures that we uncovered in the research for BBC
:11:41. > :11:44.Breakfast. What is behind this? First of all, I think the figures
:11:45. > :11:47.are interesting and important and I am glad they are on the programme.
:11:48. > :11:51.This is something we have seen in eating disorder services for
:11:52. > :11:54.sometime, just those increased numbers of referrals from young men
:11:55. > :12:00.and boys with eating disorders. I suppose more people are talking
:12:01. > :12:04.about it and the stigma of being a man with an eating disorder. I
:12:05. > :12:07.suppose in terms of what might explain the figures, and also what
:12:08. > :12:12.might potentially cause the rise, it is a bit unclear. The numbers show a
:12:13. > :12:17.rise but we know exactly what it means. Two things come to mind, one
:12:18. > :12:22.is increased awareness around the fact men have eating disorders too,
:12:23. > :12:29.that is in terms of individuals who are going through the illness, and
:12:30. > :12:32.suffering with those symptoms, and also the loved ones, the family
:12:33. > :12:38.members around them, they are likely to pick up on the symptoms, they are
:12:39. > :12:42.more likely to seek help, see the GP or the school nurse as well.
:12:43. > :12:47.Traditionally it has been something associated with women. When you hear
:12:48. > :12:52.these numbers and statistics, possibly you see it in practice more
:12:53. > :12:55.often, what do you think, what do you think is the reason that more
:12:56. > :13:01.men are prepared to present themselves? Look, I think more
:13:02. > :13:04.awareness, I suppose, there is more confidence in seeking help and
:13:05. > :13:08.opening up about that, which I think is a positive thing. I think there
:13:09. > :13:13.is increased awareness among people like GPs and school nurses as well.
:13:14. > :13:19.I suppose another strand is really about the increase in male body
:13:20. > :13:23.image concerns. That seems to be on the rise over the last 20- 30 years,
:13:24. > :13:28.if not longer, with men and young boys worrying about their look,
:13:29. > :13:32.similar to women for much longer, decades, centuries longer,
:13:33. > :13:36.potentially. When you log at women treated for these disorders, there
:13:37. > :13:41.are classic triggers, you know, emotional upheaval, life events. And
:13:42. > :13:44.the rise in social media, everyone taking pictures of themselves,
:13:45. > :13:51.comparing themselves with unrealistic small bodies. Either
:13:52. > :13:54.triggers the same for men? There are lots of similarities between men and
:13:55. > :14:01.women, more than differences, but I think the difference is our very
:14:02. > :14:04.important. It is important for clinicians and health professionals
:14:05. > :14:08.to be aware of the differences, albeit subtle at times. For example,
:14:09. > :14:15.men are worried about certain areas of their body which women are not
:14:16. > :14:19.worried about. Men want to be bigger, a little buffer, shall we
:14:20. > :14:23.say, whereas women worry about the waist down, though I am
:14:24. > :14:28.generalising. And also the behaviour is mentally engage in as opposed to
:14:29. > :14:33.slightly different behaviours with women. Women would be about the diet
:14:34. > :14:43.and certain forms of exercise, whereas men might not have a drive
:14:44. > :14:48.to be thin, it might be to get lean. If that image thing you talk about
:14:49. > :14:52.is correct, and they are looking more buff, whatever that is, if that
:14:53. > :15:00.is what they look for, how does it macro do with the notion of an
:15:01. > :15:03.eating disorder -- tie in with the notion of an eating disorder, rather
:15:04. > :15:08.than wanting to look and feel better. You can see it in the kids
:15:09. > :15:12.toys that come out. When I was a kid, Luke skywalker toys I played
:15:13. > :15:17.with, he was a normal looking guy. Now he looks like he is on steroids.
:15:18. > :15:21.Those images are being betrayed in all aspects of the media --
:15:22. > :15:25.Skywalker. And I suppose it is from a young age. For most people it is
:15:26. > :15:29.not a problem. Sometimes, if there are other vulnerabilities and risk
:15:30. > :15:34.factors that play, it can be a problem. There is a real sense that
:15:35. > :15:37.to feel happy or satisfied and to deal with other problems in their
:15:38. > :15:41.life, you have to look at certain way. It is what we call body
:15:42. > :15:45.objectification. The idea or the concept that what you look like is
:15:46. > :15:48.more important than who you are. And I suppose your appearance is more
:15:49. > :15:53.important than your values, your beliefs et cetera. We know that it
:15:54. > :15:58.is a risk factor for men and women to develop in an eating disorder.
:15:59. > :16:01.Usually it is not something that we would say would immediately cause
:16:02. > :16:05.eating disorder. Other things are usually at play as well. The
:16:06. > :16:10.information we have is that there is an increase in the number of men and
:16:11. > :16:15.boys reported with eating disorders, but boys, isn't it, and for anyone
:16:16. > :16:19.watching, you know, a young man or a parent of a young boy who is concern
:16:20. > :16:23.and doesn't know that there is a problem and is looking for signs of
:16:24. > :16:27.a problem, what advice would you give them? A couple of things, just
:16:28. > :16:31.be aware that men and boys have eating disorders too. It is not just
:16:32. > :16:34.a female condition, though it affects more women than men.
:16:35. > :16:39.Certainly it is about being aware that men have eating disorders too.
:16:40. > :16:44.And just also recognising the symptoms. The symptoms to be aware
:16:45. > :16:47.of, so, increased dieting, concerns about body image, which are starting
:16:48. > :16:53.to impact their lives, affecting school attendance and other things.
:16:54. > :16:58.If you are worried, see a GP and raise it with your GP and say, I am
:16:59. > :17:03.worried about my son. There are a lot of good websites as well. Men
:17:04. > :17:09.get eating disorders too. It is a website based in Brighton. It is
:17:10. > :17:17.online as well. I would advise to see a GP first. Thank you very much
:17:18. > :17:21.for that. You mentioned the charity Men Get Eating Disorders Too and the
:17:22. > :17:22.founder of that, Sam Thomas, a former sufferer, will be with us
:17:23. > :17:26.just after 8am this morning. If you'd like details

:17:29. > :17:30.about eating disorders, you can call or visit the BBC
:17:31. > :17:33.Actionline using the details below. And we'll be talking more about this
:17:34. > :17:36.story throughout the morning. You're watching

:18:19. > :18:21.properly. I am going to try. Is it murk? Very good!
:18:22. > :20:14.This is what it will be like in the countryside. A touch of frost,
:20:15. > :20:17.especially where we have clear skies. That means tomorrow morning
:20:18. > :20:23.and other beautiful start if you like it sunny and dry. Still a keen
:20:24. > :20:27.wind. You will notice it too. We have this cloud in southern areas.
:20:28. > :20:31.The temperatures about 14 Celsius. Temperatures coming down in the
:20:32. > :20:36.north, but still pleasant in the sunshine. Into Friday evening we
:20:37. > :20:40.have weather fronts approaching us which will introduce showers and
:20:41. > :20:44.then rain. That will sweep across southern counties during the course
:20:45. > :20:48.of Saturday. There's the rain. The timing and position of this could
:20:49. > :20:51.change. It will also affect the Channel Islands. North of that there
:20:52. > :20:56.will be more cloud around, even so there will be sunshine. Temperatures
:20:57. > :21:01.down in the north and up in the south thing at a high of 17. In the
:21:02. > :21:06.Sunday there goes the front. Off into the near continent. Light
:21:07. > :21:10.winds. The wind changes direction, so we have more of a northerly. It
:21:11. > :21:14.will feel cool. A lot of dry weather. Next week it will end as

:21:51. > :21:54.What has the reaction been like there?
:21:55. > :21:57.On Twitter there were appeals saying the reaction been like there?
:21:58. > :22:01.On Twitter there were appeals saying the presenters haven't seen since
:22:02. > :22:05.nine a.m.. The debate went on for two hours and it was spectacularly
:22:06. > :22:10.different from British TV debates and elsewhere in the world because
:22:11. > :22:14.they were allowed to speak, some say perhaps too much, but they spoke,

:22:35. > :22:39.was emotionally ugly. Marine Le Pen said Mr Macron was responsible for
:22:40. > :22:46.savage globalisation. She said it would either be herself or Angela
:22:47. > :22:50.Merkel who would be ruling. The far right of course are calling for a
:22:51. > :22:56.separate currency, to leave the euro. Mr Macron said she was the

:23:11. > :23:15.you who were the winners and losers? I would say he wins on points,
:23:16. > :23:19.definitely, but they both lose overall because it wasn't a
:23:20. > :23:24.dignified debate and I would say most lost out because it was a free
:23:25. > :23:29.for all, a fight from Twitter more than a political debate. From both
:23:30. > :23:37.of them. Drawing emotional barbs at each other. Yes, she was lecturing,
:23:38. > :23:47.she was aggressive. He won on points. And he was more dignified.
:23:48. > :23:51.Some of the voters who didn't know... She made good point on only
:23:52. > :23:57.one issue, which was terrorism, because he is weak on that. Because
:23:58. > :24:00.he has supporters who belong to a militant organisation in France and
:24:01. > :24:04.she got him with details. But that's about the only time where she
:24:05. > :24:08.debated well. The rest of the time he was much better. Marine Le Pen
:24:09. > :24:14.was pressed more on what her plans were for France having a separate
:24:15. > :24:20.currency. Going back to a new Frank and the euro. Did we learn anything
:24:21. > :24:26.from Emmanuel Macron? We didn't. This new policy has been debated by
:24:27. > :24:31.people in her team. She isn't an economist, she is a barrister by
:24:32. > :24:36.trade. She was serving a few arguments and he is the technocrat.
:24:37. > :24:41.Both of them were terrible on this. It was impossible to understand and
:24:42. > :24:50.frankly it was something they shouldn't have debated. I
:24:51. > :25:00.appreciated. Thank you. Two more days of campaigning. Mr Macron is at
:25:01. > :25:05.60%, Marine Le Pen on 40%. Mr Macron is heading south today and Marine Le
:25:06. > :25:11.Pen is heading north. Thank you. Paris is looking rather beautiful.
:25:12. > :25:15.You can see the cloud way off in the distance. We will be back in Paris
:25:16. > :25:19.later. Tomorrow is the last day you can use your old ?5 notes in shops

:25:43. > :25:45.fibre. Despite the clock ticking for the old note, plenty of shoppers
:25:46. > :25:52.still have them and some traders don't know the end is nigh. I had no
:25:53. > :25:56.idea. No idea. Absolute surprise. I've been told it is finishing. Are
:25:57. > :26:02.you still getting people bringing them in? Absolutely. Did you know
:26:03. > :26:09.that the old ?5 note finishes on Friday night? No. It is. Is that a
:26:10. > :26:15.surprise? Yes, of course. The Bank of England says 150 million paper

:26:27. > :26:32.will still be able to put your old ?5 notes into your own bank, or
:26:33. > :26:35.deposit or exchange them, but shops won't be accepting them see what we

:26:55. > :26:57.Kind of fascinating, when it stops becoming legal tender. There's a

:34:31. > :34:33.all have a chance of starting the match, which takes
:34:34. > :34:37.on new significance. I think it is a big achievement
:34:38. > :34:41.with so many problems we have, and it would allow us to be back
:34:42. > :34:44.to the Champions League next season, so we will have to try,
:34:45. > :34:48.that is what we are going to do and, honestly, the Europa League becomes
:34:49. > :34:58.for us now more important. In the first leg of the other

:38:52. > :38:56.not good at it, so I was worried... I haven't seen one of these before
:38:57. > :39:02.until today. Have you seen one? I haven't seen one in real life. It is
:39:03. > :39:08.a fidget spinners and you play around with it like that. Would it
:39:09. > :39:09.be annoying for people? The idea was that they were designed to relieve
:39:10. > :39:18.stress and help people concentrate. But they've since become
:39:19. > :39:20.the latest must-have toy - and some schools say
:39:21. > :39:23.they're disrupting lessons. We'll speak to Naomi,
:39:24. > :39:26.who has her fidget spinner with her, First, Newsround's Ricky Boleto has
:39:27. > :39:48.been to a school in Manchester Fidget spinners are taking over
:39:49. > :39:54.playgrounds. The small toys have become the latest must have gadget.
:39:55. > :40:00.My spinner is a glow-in-the-dark one. You get relaxed when it spins
:40:01. > :40:05.and it is really satisfying. You can have challenges with other people
:40:06. > :40:10.and you can customise as well. These little things are causing headaches
:40:11. > :40:16.for lots of teachers. Sometimes children get distracted. Then they
:40:17. > :40:20.don't concentrate on their work. They try to rush so they can play
:40:21. > :40:25.with it and they don't produce quality work. They have since been
:40:26. > :40:29.banned in a number of schools but here in Manchester teachers are more
:40:30. > :40:37.relaxed. They are happy for kids to play with them but only outside the
:40:38. > :40:40.classroom. You can play with them at lunch time but not during class.
:40:41. > :40:45.They have been banned during class and around the school environment
:40:46. > :40:49.and you are only allowed with them at lunch. We are happy for kids to
:40:50. > :40:53.play with fidget spinners on the playground. They are developing fine
:40:54. > :40:57.motor skills. We have asked that they put them away when they enter
:40:58. > :41:00.the building so they are not a distraction in the lessons. We found
:41:01. > :41:04.that children were more interested in watching each other do tricks
:41:05. > :41:08.than they were watching the teacher. They only cost a couple of pounds
:41:09. > :41:13.and websites have started to charge a lot more as the popularity
:41:14. > :41:19.increases. Which one is better? Online videos showing tricks have
:41:20. > :41:22.had millions of views until the next big thing in the playground, it
:41:23. > :41:28.looks like the fidget spinner will be at least the summer.
:41:29. > :41:32.They are quite a lot better than me. be at least the summer.
:41:33. > :41:35.Miriam Gwynne joins us on the sofa, alongside her daughter Naomi,
:41:36. > :41:38.who has autism and has benefited from using a fidget spinner
:41:39. > :41:49.So you are going to use your spinner while we chat to your mum, is that
:41:50. > :41:55.OK? Yes. Good. How does it help? Definitely it helps children with
:41:56. > :42:05.autism. It helps concentrate, focus and relax. Is it more relaxing? Yes.
:42:06. > :42:09.For a lot of children it really is something extra to focus on to take
:42:10. > :42:13.away from the pressure of school. The constant demand they are put
:42:14. > :42:18.under when they have autism. For some children it can be
:42:19. > :42:22.overwhelming. Lights can be buzzing, there is constant noise, and this
:42:23. > :42:26.can give them something to focus on so that they can concentrate on
:42:27. > :42:32.work. Naomi, can you show me what you can do, what different things
:42:33. > :42:38.can you do? To you spend it like that, or can you do other things?
:42:39. > :42:46.What do you do? You show him. That's it. And it is just kind of calming.
:42:47. > :42:53.Yes. It is repetitive. Anything that is repetitive is very relaxing. So
:42:54. > :43:00.it is not the case that, forgive me for this, in our experience we hear
:43:01. > :43:05.about the noise and alight at school, lots of other people, it can
:43:06. > :43:09.be too distracting for children with autism, it can be difficult to
:43:10. > :43:16.maintain concentration. This doesn't add another thing was yellow no, it
:43:17. > :43:21.is a focus for them. That buzzing noise can take away from everything
:43:22. > :43:28.else. They can focus on that and it will desensitise them from other
:43:29. > :43:33.things. Has Naomi used it for a while? Not only that, but this as
:43:34. > :43:42.well. Would you like to show? What is that one? What is called. It is
:43:43. > :43:49.called Tangle. A little bit shy. You're not the first person. What
:43:50. > :43:53.happens. Do you want to show? So you kind of untangle it and move it
:43:54. > :43:58.around? You're just moving it around and it is just something to fidget
:43:59. > :44:05.with and to use your hands with. Do you want to have a turn? Can I see?
:44:06. > :44:11.Sometimes Charlie fidget at and did you notice a change? Yes. When she
:44:12. > :44:16.is at home, she has a twin brother with complex needs, and he can cause
:44:17. > :44:21.stress, he can get agitated and he can be aggressive, so this helps her
:44:22. > :44:26.to calm down. Just a way to sit and be in your own zone. Can you
:44:27. > :44:32.understand why schools have been banning these? I can because
:44:33. > :44:36.unfortunately now they are mainstream they are not used for
:44:37. > :44:43.this, they are being tossed about, they are getting thrown, they are
:44:44. > :44:49.getting all sorts. That wasn't the original... Is Naomi allowed to use
:44:50. > :44:54.hers? Yes. Naomi goes to a wonderfully inclusive school with a
:44:55. > :45:00.nurture group for children with emotional difficulties. They are
:45:01. > :45:05.used to children on the spectrum and children with other difficulties so,
:45:06. > :45:09.yes, her school will continue to use it. I think your toy has totally
:45:10. > :45:14.stumped Charlie. Can I give that back to you? Thank you for coming in
:45:15. > :45:16.to show us. Thank you for having us on.
:45:17. > :45:18.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.
:45:19. > :45:21.The main stories this morning: A BBC Breakfast investigation has found
:45:22. > :45:25.a stark rise in the number of men seeking treatment for eating
:45:26. > :45:33.Voters head to the polls in parts of Wales and Scotland today in local
:45:34. > :45:36.elections to decide nearly 5,000 council seats and six
:45:37. > :45:49.Let's go over to Carol who I don't think is using a fidget spinner
:45:50. > :46:09.right at the moment. This is a picture from Wakefield. We
:46:10. > :46:15.have another one showing a fair bit of cloud again in Doncaster. This
:46:16. > :46:19.one is a beautiful one from Wales. Again, quite a bit of cloud and a
:46:20. > :46:23.bit of sunshine coming through. A lot of the cloud we have is in
:46:24. > :46:28.northern England. It will fade away and we will have sunshine. We hang
:46:29. > :46:32.onto the cloud in the south. Some spots of rain. Nothing too heavy and
:46:33. > :46:37.a noticeable breeze. A breeze in the Pennines today. What it will be
:46:38. > :46:41.sunny. The sun again across the north Midlands, heading steadily
:46:42. > :46:44.northwards through northern England. Temperatures responding nicely.
:46:45. > :46:49.That's away from the east coast because on the east coast of
:46:50. > :46:56.Scotland and England it will feel nippy. Low cloud clears from the
:46:57. > :47:00.north-east. Broken blue skies. Although we start on a cloudy note
:47:01. > :47:06.in Wales, the cloud melts away and we have sunshine. On Southwest
:47:07. > :47:11.England is a bit more cloud. Just the odd break. The cloud began fear
:47:12. > :47:18.and therefore a shower, but the showers will be hit and miss. It is
:47:19. > :47:21.south Midlands and towards Kent and east Anglia, Cambridgeshire, you
:47:22. > :47:26.might find there is a bit more cloud at times. Overnight we hang on to
:47:27. > :47:32.the cloud with the odd spot of rain. Still breezy. Further north it will
:47:33. > :47:36.be colder. These temperatures, between about six and nine, indicate
:47:37. > :47:40.what you can expect in towns and cities. Lower in the countryside. A
:47:41. > :47:45.touch of frost in parts of Scotland. Here we have the sunshine tomorrow,
:47:46. > :47:49.as in northern England and north Wales and Northern Ireland. Further
:47:50. > :47:54.south we still have this plague of cloud and along the east coast,
:47:55. > :47:59.coming off the North Sea, it will feel cold. But temperatures
:48:00. > :48:02.generally coming down a touch. On Friday evening the showers
:48:03. > :48:07.approached the south-west of England and on Saturday we have low pressure
:48:08. > :48:12.near us, which will bring rain. The timing and position of this could
:48:13. > :48:18.change. In the south-west, affecting the Channel Islands, very bill
:48:19. > :48:21.amounts of cloud. -- variable. For Sunday, there goes the weather
:48:22. > :48:27.front, pulling into the near continent. Behind it, dry and bright
:48:28. > :48:31.conditions. A change in wind direction. Still feeling cold down
:48:32. > :48:37.east coast. Coolalinga north. Still a lot of dry weather around. --
:48:38. > :48:42.cooler in the north. If you are sick of the wind, it will change next
:48:43. > :48:47.week in east. But it won't feel as warm where it has felt warm in the
:48:48. > :48:50.north-west. We don't like a nagging wind! We
:48:51. > :49:10.don't like a nagging anything! A lot of people talk about this,
:49:11. > :49:12.when I am out and about, paying for things and fuel is one of them. Good
:49:13. > :49:14.morning. A year ago a litre of petrol cost
:49:15. > :49:18.one pound and 8p on average - and a litre of diesel
:49:19. > :49:21.was one pound and 9p. Those prices have crept up
:49:22. > :49:26.in the last 12 months. Up to ?1 for petrol and ?1 for
:49:27. > :49:31.in the last 12 months. Up to ?1 for petrol and ?1 for
:49:32. > :49:36.diesel. Now they are coming down again.
:49:37. > :49:39.That will have changed yesterday, though, when three of the big four
:49:40. > :49:44.All of them dropped the price of unleaded by 1p and the price
:49:45. > :49:47.James Spencer is managing director of fuel traders Portland Fuel.
:49:48. > :49:49.Good morning. What's happening? Why of fuel traders Portland Fuel.
:49:50. > :49:52.Good morning. What's happening? Why are they bringing down prices?
:49:53. > :49:56.There's an element of supermarkets always been keen to get off the
:49:57. > :50:01.blocks first and get in first with a price reduction. But oil prices have
:50:02. > :50:09.been ticking down. About one month ago they were $57 a barrel, now
:50:10. > :50:14.about $50, so that's filtering through. Why have the prices been
:50:15. > :50:19.coming down? What has actually happened is as the price kind of
:50:20. > :50:24.crept up on the back of the OPEC cuts, which were agreed back in
:50:25. > :50:30.November, in November they agreed they would cut production. That sent
:50:31. > :50:36.prices going upwards. Certainly the US attack on the Syrian air base
:50:37. > :50:40.pushed prices up further. But really what happened is shale oil prices
:50:41. > :50:45.have come back into the market. The price went up in the $50 and shale
:50:46. > :50:48.oil has come back in. So now the price is coming back down. And the
:50:49. > :50:52.currency market is making a difference? They make a huge
:50:53. > :50:58.difference, but probably from a p per litre perspective, when post-
:50:59. > :51:02.Brexit the pound went down in value that pushed prices up by about 4
:51:03. > :51:08.cents per litre. But the exchange rate is sat at about the .25 level
:51:09. > :51:12.against the dollar for about six months, so that's having a big
:51:13. > :51:17.impact at the moment. What's going to happen next? I know that's the
:51:18. > :51:23.question, but in terms of what the forecast offers. I think in the
:51:24. > :51:26.short term there will be a softening of prices. Normally what happens if
:51:27. > :51:31.the supermarkets lead and the rest of the retail industry, the
:51:32. > :51:34.independent forecourts, follow. They have a longer supply chain so it
:51:35. > :51:40.takes longer for their... They may have fuel that was bought two weeks
:51:41. > :51:45.ago. So they tend to be slower. But all eyes on the 25th of May. That's
:51:46. > :51:49.the next OPEC meeting and to be honest their strategy of strangling
:51:50. > :51:55.production and pushing up prices looks like it will this allowed. Are
:51:56. > :51:59.they going to cut even more? The argument is there isn't anybody who
:52:00. > :52:05.can, other than Saudi Arabia. They will certainly maintain the
:52:06. > :52:08.production costs, but if they decided to do further production
:52:09. > :52:12.cuts that could push prices back. One other thing. Whenever I talk
:52:13. > :52:16.about petrol fuel prices people go mad and say, it is much cheaper
:52:17. > :52:20.here, or more expensive. Why are there that regional variations?
:52:21. > :52:25.That's more market forces. In more competitive areas, especially the
:52:26. > :52:29.supermarkets have to be competitive in their pricing. If you look at the
:52:30. > :52:34.difference in the supply chain cost of getting fuel to the north-east to
:52:35. > :52:38.Wales, for example, it's only about 1p per litre. So from a supply
:52:39. > :52:42.perspective there isn't a great difference. So where there are big
:52:43. > :52:48.differences it is typically market forces. Thank you. I am sure I will
:52:49. > :52:51.get lots of messages from you about where you have seen the most
:52:52. > :52:54.expensive or the cheapest! Thanks very much.
:52:55. > :52:57.For 125 years Norland College in Bath has been training nannies
:52:58. > :53:00.that go on to work for some of the richest and most famous
:53:01. > :53:04.Now you might expect students to learn about colic,
:53:05. > :53:06.cooking and children's education, but what about the murky
:53:07. > :53:15.As part of their degree course, Norland nannies are now
:53:16. > :53:17.being trained by former military intelligence officers.
:53:18. > :53:19.Breakfast's John Maguire has been finding out why.
:53:20. > :53:22.The immaculate uniform, brown hat been finding out why.
:53:23. > :53:29.The immaculate uniform, brown hat and white gloves are reminders of
:53:30. > :53:33.the Norland nannies' heritage. At this trading is preparing for life
:53:34. > :53:36.and work in a very modern world. Is there anything now that you notice
:53:37. > :53:41.on this route? I have noticed there's been a car behind us now the
:53:42. > :53:47.whole time, following the same route. That's kind of suspicious for
:53:48. > :53:50.me. You are right. The Ford car behind us has been following our
:53:51. > :53:54.route ever since we left the car park. Well spotted. This
:53:55. > :53:57.undergraduate is being put through her paces in this driver training
:53:58. > :54:03.exercise by a former military intelligence officer. It is slowing.
:54:04. > :54:07.We need to be slowing as well. We need to be stopping so that we can
:54:08. > :54:11.see the bottom of the tyres of the car in front. Taking a standard map
:54:12. > :54:14.is brilliant. You don't have to rely on your phone, you can look at it
:54:15. > :54:18.and highlight bits on there, especially hospitals, leases that
:54:19. > :54:24.are safe that you need to go to. When they complete their degree
:54:25. > :54:28.course, Norlanders may well find work with royalty and other VIPs,
:54:29. > :54:35.people who take their family's security very seriously. I think it
:54:36. > :54:38.is vital that this Norland nannies, going into some very high profile
:54:39. > :54:43.families, very high end in terms of wealth, to have an understanding of
:54:44. > :54:47.what the threats are, how they can mitigate the risks and how they can
:54:48. > :54:51.make sense of plans to avoid getting themselves into unfortunate
:54:52. > :54:55.positions. High on the day's agenda is cyber security and the potential
:54:56. > :55:04.risks of social media. Have any of you here got apps that will GO tag
:55:05. > :55:08.you? As a nanny you have to understand when you pick your kids
:55:09. > :55:12.up, what clubs they go to and when you are exposed to a range of
:55:13. > :55:16.different threats this is when their research can be used against you.
:55:17. > :55:20.Instructors are actively involved in the fields of counter-terrorism,
:55:21. > :55:24.security and personal protection. The training encourages the students
:55:25. > :55:30.not to be paranoid, but to be alert. I think it's just made me more
:55:31. > :55:33.conscious of how I use... What I do in my everyday life and being more
:55:34. > :55:37.aware of my surroundings and stuff Musso that if there ever was an
:55:38. > :55:42.incident on might be able to either prevented or I will no hopefully how
:55:43. > :55:45.to deal with it. When I was out there driving with you guys a
:55:46. > :55:49.thought, actually, having that bit of space and difference could make a
:55:50. > :55:53.difference if there was a big situation going on. Yeah, it is so
:55:54. > :55:57.easy to do. It's all common sense once you've been told it. As a
:55:58. > :56:01.person, you don't expect to ever be put in a situation where somebody
:56:02. > :56:04.would do that to you. Nannies of course have always been well versed
:56:05. > :56:09.in children's health, education and their happiness, but these students

:02:15. > :02:18.satisfaction out of seeing people enjoy the things that I don't feel
:02:19. > :02:22.able to enjoy myself. Simon has been anorexic
:02:23. > :02:26.for nearly two years. Logically I know that
:02:27. > :02:28.I need to eat to live, otherwise at the end of the day this
:02:29. > :02:32.will kill me and it doesn't make a blind bit of difference
:02:33. > :02:35.because every time I try and eat I've always had an unhealthy

:02:59. > :03:02.to reverse the effect of whatever I tend to walk as far as my body

:03:15. > :03:16.by more than a quarter over That's more than double
:03:17. > :03:23.the rise of female patients. The number of boys being treated
:03:24. > :03:25.has gone up by a third Despite the increase,
:03:26. > :03:29.the total number of male patients treated last year,
:03:30. > :03:31.about 1,200, still represents only 8% of the total and these
:03:32. > :03:36.figures don't necessarily mean that more men have eating disorders,
:03:37. > :03:40.it could be that the stigma is lifting and that
:03:41. > :03:46.more are seeking help. Boys and men are realising that this
:03:47. > :03:54.is an illness and not a choice. This doctor is based
:03:55. > :03:58.at the Julian Hospital in Norwich and treats under-18s
:03:59. > :04:02.with eating disorders. She's seeing more boys than ever

:05:58. > :05:59.There is a price war going on at the supermarkets, that's a way to bring
:06:00. > :06:04.customers in bringing down fuel costs, in the hope they will spend
:06:05. > :06:09.money in the shop too. Also the price of oil has been falling a bit
:06:10. > :06:14.recently. And also the value of the pound has been going up a little
:06:15. > :06:18.bit. Not as much as it was last year. If you look at the figures it
:06:19. > :06:25.was something like ?1.08 for a litre of petrol last year. And now it's
:06:26. > :06:29.about ?1.18 on average, so it's gone up a fair bit. What the supermarkets
:06:30. > :06:36.are doing today and this week is bringing petrol down by 1p per litre
:06:37. > :06:41.and diesel down by 2p per litre. If you think how much is that going to
:06:42. > :06:49.be when I fill up the car? That would save ?1.10 filling up with the
:06:50. > :06:52.average tank of diesel. And 55p on petrol. It's the thing most people
:06:53. > :06:55.talk to me when I'm out and about. When I talk to people in different
:06:56. > :07:00.companies about what they really feel, is the cost of fuel. If you
:07:01. > :07:04.use your car all the time you notice a difference if during the week you
:07:05. > :07:07.pay ?10 more or less on your fuel. It is something that bothers people.
:07:08. > :07:13.Another thing that bothers people is regional differences. Whenever I say
:07:14. > :07:16.an average figure I get a million messages from people saying it's
:07:17. > :07:20.expensive here, it is cheaper here. Obviously these are average figures
:07:21. > :07:26.and there are big differences based on market forces in different areas
:07:27. > :07:29.where there is more competition for fuel and how much it costs to
:07:30. > :07:33.transport fuel around can make a difference in price.
:07:34. > :07:36.Is the time of year when the supermarkets, with figures. We have
:07:37. > :07:39.Morrisons this morning. Morrisons have good figures, their
:07:40. > :07:43.share price has gone up to reflect that. They have said this morning
:07:44. > :07:46.that their sales, like-for-like sales, when you look at stores that
:07:47. > :07:52.have been open for more than a year, they have gone up by 3.4% in the
:07:53. > :07:57.last quarter, 13 weeks until the end of April, better than what people
:07:58. > :08:00.expected, because as I was saying, yesterday I interviewed the boss of
:08:01. > :08:04.Sainsbury's and we talked about the competition in supermarkets as a
:08:05. > :08:07.challenging environment and there have been price was bringing the
:08:08. > :08:10.cost of food down because of the pressures of the pound, the value of
:08:11. > :08:14.the pound and the cost of oil has meant food prices are starting to
:08:15. > :08:18.cost more and that is obviously putting a lot of pressure on
:08:19. > :08:21.families. Interesting results from Morrisons and they will be pleased
:08:22. > :08:23.because the share price has gone up. Thank you.
:08:24. > :08:25.The two final candidates in the French presidential election
:08:26. > :08:27.have taken part in a heated head-to-head debate
:08:28. > :08:31.Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron traded insults, with both candidates
:08:32. > :08:38.Our Europe reporter Gavin Lee is in Paris.
:08:39. > :08:43.Gavin, what impact will the debate have on Sunday's vote?
:08:44. > :08:50.What a wonderful backdrop you have. We said it was a heated debate, that
:08:51. > :08:53.doesn't quite cover it, it was a free for all really.
:08:54. > :08:58.I think you're absolutely right, as people wake up this morning and try
:08:59. > :09:02.and work out who came out on top, there was a poll that was done
:09:03. > :09:05.straight afterwards suggesting 20 million people watched this last
:09:06. > :09:10.night and 60% of them feel Emmanuel Macron came out on top. They spoke
:09:11. > :09:13.for two hours, it was quite unbelievable because unlike British
:09:14. > :09:17.TV debates there was a tense to interrupt by the presenters but it
:09:18. > :09:22.was mainly both Macron and Le Pen talking to each other, very
:09:23. > :09:24.different visions. We got a very emotionally charged interview, some
:09:25. > :09:28.of the papers this morning talking about the right-wing Le Pen, the
:09:29. > :09:32.emotional assassin, going for the emotional tactics and unravelling
:09:33. > :09:39.her arrival by getting him wound up. It didn't work because he has been
:09:40. > :09:44.described as mystical because he deliberately tried to sit back, some
:09:45. > :09:48.accused him of being patronising. In the two hours, perhaps the quote of
:09:49. > :09:52.the day when Marine Le Pen described Emmanuel Macron as a global savage,
:09:53. > :09:57.somebody who would be responsible for the downfall of France, in reply
:09:58. > :10:01.he said she was the high priestess of fear. We have two days after
:10:02. > :10:05.this, two more full days of campaigning, he's on top by about 20
:10:06. > :10:08.percentage points and is heading south before his campaigning today
:10:09. > :10:12.and Marine Le Pen is heading north and we will be with her tomorrow on
:10:13. > :10:15.the final day. Thank you, Gavin. We will speak to you later.

:10:37. > :10:40.Numbers of the Northern Royal albatross - one
:10:41. > :10:46.of the largest of the species - have previously been hard to assess,
:10:47. > :10:49.as it only nests on a small group of remote and rocky islands east
:10:50. > :10:55.Here's our science Correspondent Rebecca Morelle.
:10:56. > :10:58.They're the world's largest flying birds,
:10:59. > :11:07.but despite being so easy to spot, counting albatrosses is tricky.
:11:08. > :11:09.Most of the sea birds nest on islands, which
:11:10. > :11:11.are extremely remote and difficult to access, but now
:11:12. > :11:14.there's a new way to get a tally of the birds - from space.
:11:15. > :11:17.Scientists are using a powerful US satellite to zoom in on places
:11:18. > :11:23.like the Chatham Islands in the South Pacific.
:11:24. > :11:26.Ultra high-res images can map areas down to 30 centimetres, which means
:11:27. > :11:29.each albatross appears as a white dot and researchers
:11:30. > :11:33.It means we finally have a number for this species,
:11:34. > :11:39.Scientists were unsure how many birds there were but the satellite

:12:51. > :12:52.After an investigation for this programme found that more men
:12:53. > :12:54.and boys are seeking treatment for them.
:12:55. > :12:56.The number of males receiving outpatient treatment for conditions
:12:57. > :12:59.like anorexia and bulimia in England has increased by 27% over
:13:00. > :13:01.the last three years - compared to 13% for women.
:13:02. > :13:03.We're joined now by Sam Thomas, who founded charity
:13:04. > :13:05.Men Get Eating Disorders Too after his own experiences
:13:06. > :13:17.Good morning, thank you for coming in to talk about this. I know it
:13:18. > :13:21.can't be easy to talk about what has obviously been a really distressing
:13:22. > :13:25.time in your life. Can you just explain to us all what happened to
:13:26. > :13:30.you and how it started? My experience began when I was 13 which
:13:31. > :13:33.might seem very young but not unusual for the sort of issues we
:13:34. > :13:37.are talking about today like eating disorders and general mental health.
:13:38. > :13:42.For me it wasn't anything to do with body image or trying to look good,
:13:43. > :13:46.or slimmed down or anything like that, it was literally not being
:13:47. > :13:51.able to cope for me. It was all kind of linked to bullying at school and
:13:52. > :13:55.that was just my way of having a coping mechanism to deal with those
:13:56. > :14:00.issues. Is that because an eating disorder is sometimes about control?
:14:01. > :14:04.Taking control of something you can control. I get asked about that
:14:05. > :14:06.quite a bit and it's about a sense of control rather than actually
:14:07. > :14:11.being in control because if you think about it you are going to be
:14:12. > :14:14.quite erratic and chaotic in that way and that's the nature of eating
:14:15. > :14:19.disorders so it's not necessarily about being in control. But it's a
:14:20. > :14:27.sense of control. Sam, so what happened? You change your eating,
:14:28. > :14:32.you are doing different things. Is anybody aware this is going on? This
:14:33. > :14:36.is interesting because I had bulimia and the nature of bulimia is
:14:37. > :14:40.secretive and people don't necessarily notice at all. I don't
:14:41. > :14:47.think my mother had any suspicion of anything really. I think she
:14:48. > :14:52.probably just thought I was a hungry teenager. If food went missing it
:14:53. > :14:57.wasn't anything unusual at that age. How bad did it get for you? It did
:14:58. > :15:02.get very bad. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the help I needed.
:15:03. > :15:07.Eventually I was able to find different sources of support, a
:15:08. > :15:15.network of support, but for me it did get really bad, definitely. What
:15:16. > :15:18.I have to describe of an eating disorder is its like a full-time job
:15:19. > :15:22.with overtime because it takes over everything, literally. There is no
:15:23. > :15:27.escape and as they always. You were at school at this time, how did you
:15:28. > :15:31.get through the day? I didn't, that was the problem. For me are used to
:15:32. > :15:34.run out of lessons and avoid lessons completely and hide in the boys'
:15:35. > :15:40.toilets where I could binge and purge. Whatever happened during the
:15:41. > :15:45.school day, whether it was bullying or pressures that I might be
:15:46. > :15:49.experiencing at that time. Obviously being a teenager. That was just my
:15:50. > :15:55.way to cope. One of the things you will know all about is the stigma
:15:56. > :15:59.attached to eating disorders. Dikili for men, maybe. Lots of people have
:16:00. > :16:02.got in touch this morning. This one is an anonymous e-mail --
:16:03. > :16:06.particularly for men. I have had bulimia since I was in my
:16:07. > :16:09.20s, it has taken its toll on my body including ruining my teeth
:16:10. > :16:14.which I have had to spend thousands on. I feel that one day I will only
:16:15. > :16:17.be able to eat period food. He says I have never sought help as I find
:16:18. > :16:22.it far too embarrassing to talk to anyone about it. My wife has no idea
:16:23. > :16:27.how bad it's been over the years. That is someone who is 58 years old
:16:28. > :16:35.who has been living with this and not been able to for whatever
:16:36. > :16:40.reason, seek help. And unfortunately it is not the only case. It is
:16:41. > :16:45.something I hear about almost on a daily basis on e-mail and support
:16:46. > :16:49.groups. That is not unusual. For a lot of particularly older men, in
:16:50. > :16:52.relation to the guy you mentioned, does mean that sometimes it takes a
:16:53. > :16:55.much older age to be able to recognise issues, because I guessed
:16:56. > :16:59.ten years ago, 15 years ago, we probably wouldn't be having this
:17:00. > :17:02.chat on the sofa, you know what I mean? I think it is still an issue
:17:03. > :17:08.that I think people are becoming increasingly aware of. Can I just
:17:09. > :17:13.asked, how are you now? I am fine now. My eating disorder was over ten
:17:14. > :17:18.years ago, when I was a teenager. So my experience is quite historic in
:17:19. > :17:21.that respect. But obviously I am always aware of the issues, because
:17:22. > :17:25.of course I work with people every day. So I guess in some ways that is
:17:26. > :17:30.a bit of earning Kirchmann or reinforcement if you want to call it
:17:31. > :17:33.that. Good to see morning, thank you very much.
:17:34. > :17:35.If you'd like details for organisations offering
:17:36. > :17:36.information and support about eating disorders,
:17:37. > :17:39.you can call or visit the BBC Actionline using the
:17:40. > :17:42.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.
:17:43. > :17:48.A BBC Breakfast investigation has found a stark rise in the number
:17:49. > :17:54.of men seeking treatment for eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
:17:55. > :17:56.Voters head to the polls in parts of England,
:17:57. > :17:59.Wales and Scotland today in local elections to decide nearly 5,000
:18:00. > :18:10.council seats and six new "metro mayors".
:18:11. > :18:16.Let's have a look and see what the weather is up to today. This is the
:18:17. > :18:22.shot in London this morning. A bit murky. Let's have a look outside in
:18:23. > :18:25.Salford, looking a bit more sunny, perhaps clearer skies but one person
:18:26. > :18:31.who can tell us what it will actually be like the rest of the day
:18:32. > :18:35.and the days it is Carol. Good morning, both and to you as Lamacq.
:18:36. > :18:38.For some of us it is a gorgeous start of the day, if you like it
:18:39. > :18:41.sunny and dry. This is one of our Weather Watchers pictures taken in
:18:42. > :18:47.Stornoway, just unbroken blue sky. We will hang onto that for much of
:18:48. > :18:50.the day. In North Yorkshire again a beautiful start to the day, some
:18:51. > :18:56.sunshine, and then as we come into Wakefield, a bit more cloud around.
:18:57. > :18:59.Similarly so in Doncaster, a bit more cloud around. Across northern
:19:00. > :19:02.England, you will find it will improve through the course of the
:19:03. > :19:06.day if you currently have cloud, it will melt away and you will join
:19:07. > :19:09.Scotland and Northern Ireland with the blue skies. Even as we push
:19:10. > :19:17.further south, watch other cloud has been eroded. The North Midlands,
:19:18. > :19:21.rails, -- Wales and one or two showers. We have an onshore breeze
:19:22. > :19:25.dummies coast of England and Scotland. If you are on the
:19:26. > :19:28.coastline itself you will feel cold. Come inland, the temperature will
:19:29. > :19:31.quite quickly rise as it is doing at the moment. North-west Highlands
:19:32. > :19:36.once again today could see just over 20 Celsius. For Northern Ireland,
:19:37. > :19:40.another lovely day for you if you like it dry and sunny and warm. For
:19:41. > :19:43.Wales, similar story, the cloud melting away, sunny spells coming
:19:44. > :19:48.through though at times you will see areas of cloud as you will across
:19:49. > :19:52.south-west England. One or two breaks developing. The cloud will be
:19:53. > :19:55.thick enough of the odd shower as we move across southern counties.
:19:56. > :20:00.Having said that, the showers will be hit and miss and many of us will
:20:01. > :20:03.miss them all together. Through the evening and overnight, we still have
:20:04. > :20:09.this onshore breeze, gusty winds across the Pennines. And a fair bit
:20:10. > :20:13.of cloud around. You can say whether cloud has broken the temperature
:20:14. > :20:16.will be lowest for stock a range roughly five to eight in towns and
:20:17. > :20:21.cities but below freezing where we have got the clear skies. Cold
:20:22. > :20:24.enough for a touch of frost. That means tomorrow starting off once
:20:25. > :20:30.again on a sunny note. Still a lot of cloud in the south and this
:20:31. > :20:33.onshore brews making it feel cold along eastern areas. Temperatures
:20:34. > :20:37.tomorrow down a touch in the north. We are looking at highs of 40 now 15
:20:38. > :20:43.as we come further south. As we move from Friday into Saturday, as we see
:20:44. > :20:47.the France approach, some showers across south-west England. For
:20:48. > :20:50.Saturday, that front is draped across the south-west, the Channel
:20:51. > :20:53.Islands and parts of southern England bringing in some rain. The
:20:54. > :20:57.timing and placement of this could change. North of that it is dry,
:20:58. > :21:03.brighter and some sunshine, articulately in the far north. That
:21:04. > :21:06.clears away and then on Sunday we have a dry day, mostly dry, a bit
:21:07. > :21:09.more cloud around, more in the north and we have seen in the course of
:21:10. > :21:14.this week. Temperatures down a touch as well. The wind changes direction.
:21:15. > :21:18.Along the East coast at Worcester Wycherley but not as cold. That will
:21:19. > :21:32.ease as we go through next week. Highs up to 17 in London. How useful
:21:33. > :21:35.is this? That is a lovely good old-fashioned ?5 note. At the moment
:21:36. > :21:39.you can still take that to a shop and buy things with it. But not for
:21:40. > :21:44.much longer. Because what you really want is one of these. That is the
:21:45. > :21:49.new one that came out back in September. According to the Bank of
:21:50. > :21:50.England, the old one, there are 150 million of them left that we now
:21:51. > :21:56.have to move on from the fees. We're joined now by Philip Mussell
:21:57. > :22:04.from Coin News magazine. The old banknote, how long have we
:22:05. > :22:12.got to use it? 24 hours, just over, 36 hours. Midnight on Friday night.
:22:13. > :22:17.That is correct was the after that the shopkeepers will say no.
:22:18. > :22:21.Theoretically, yes, they should say no. What we are saying is that
:22:22. > :22:25.shopkeepers can use them at their discretion, because the banks will
:22:26. > :22:28.always take them, the Bank of England will always take them. Banks
:22:29. > :22:32.say they will take them but shopkeepers don't have to. The Bank
:22:33. > :22:38.of England always will. Because they are promises to pay on demand there
:22:39. > :22:41.are the some of whatever it is. As a consequence, the Bank of England is
:22:42. > :22:44.obliged for the rest of time to take that note back. The individual banks
:22:45. > :22:48.might do so, they are under no obligation to but they probably
:22:49. > :22:53.will. So on a practical note, if you have old-style fivers in your
:22:54. > :22:57.pocket, life will get a bit tricky after Saturday morning. Absolutely,
:22:58. > :22:59.a lot of shopkeepers out there don't even realise it is being
:23:00. > :23:03.demilitarised, which is the reason we are talking about it today I
:23:04. > :23:15.think. It doesn't seem that long since that new smaller fiver came
:23:16. > :23:17.in. September. Since like a very fast turnaround. It has been. Not
:23:18. > :23:21.quite sure why that is. Normally there is a bit more of a gap. But I
:23:22. > :23:24.think because we have 24 hour news, Twitter, Facebook and all the rest
:23:25. > :23:28.of it, I think the Bank of England expects the message to get out there
:23:29. > :23:31.quicker. It is interesting, we spoke to quite a few shopkeepers, market
:23:32. > :23:36.stallholders and people like that, most were unaware of the deadline. I
:23:37. > :23:39.know, it is a problem, and that is why we are doing things like this,
:23:40. > :23:43.it is fantastic because it gets the message out there. Most people if
:23:44. > :23:46.you are waiting in a supermarket queue, and people are spending less
:23:47. > :23:53.than a tenner, very often they just use contactless cards now. Sadly, I
:23:54. > :23:57.am not going to comment on that, I run a magazine on coins, I don't
:23:58. > :24:02.want people to use contactless! Do you think there is a bit of a threat
:24:03. > :24:06.to paper money? Inevitably people will go over the contactless cards
:24:07. > :24:09.and mobile phones. Technology is wonderful but there was something
:24:10. > :24:15.about cash, something about holding notes and coins that is very
:24:16. > :24:20.important. On that note, can we get a close-up? This is a picture of ?1
:24:21. > :24:26.notes over the years. Just talk was through, what are we looking at? The
:24:27. > :24:30.?1 note was introduced way back in 1797 winner was a lack of gold
:24:31. > :24:34.because of the Napoleonic Wars. Over the years it has evolved into the
:24:35. > :24:40.pound note that many of us will remember. That design was introduced
:24:41. > :24:42.in 1928, this one is from the 1950s. During the war about 1940 because
:24:43. > :24:48.they were worried about forgeries, they change the colour. This one was
:24:49. > :24:53.1940, and then in 48 they went back to this one, and then in 1960 the
:24:54. > :24:56.introduced that one. That was the one that came in during the
:24:57. > :25:00.decimalisation era, and the 1978, the one most of us will remember,
:25:01. > :25:04.and then of course in 83 we have a pound coin. You notice they are all
:25:05. > :25:09.getting smaller. Yes, notes have been getting smaller over the years,
:25:10. > :25:14.the old white fivers and the white ?10 notes are very big. People just
:25:15. > :25:19.want smaller notes. And the technology has changed significantly
:25:20. > :25:24.over the years. Without a shadow of the doubt. The technology,
:25:25. > :25:29.particularly the anti-counterfeiting technology has got to the point
:25:30. > :25:33.where now we are able to make notes with polymer, clear plastic windows,
:25:34. > :25:38.to make forging very difficult. So you are a fan of the plastic notes?
:25:39. > :25:43.To a certain extent, I don't like the way when you crease it at the.
:25:44. > :25:47.Folded in two like that anywhere be to get that crease out. You have now
:25:48. > :25:52.ruined that one, just as well it wasn't a collectable one. It is not
:25:53. > :25:57.ruined, though is it? From a collector's point of view. You can
:25:58. > :26:03.still spend it of course. If people are thinking they might keep a
:26:04. > :26:08.fiver, whenever would a fiver become worth more than a fiver? They are
:26:09. > :26:14.worth more now, certain ones. There are five is out there were ?50,000.
:26:15. > :26:16.There was a micro artist, a guy called Graham Short, had actually
:26:17. > :26:22.managed to put some little tiny pictures of Jane Austen by the Big
:26:23. > :26:26.Ben tower. Because he is such a famous artist, if you find one of
:26:27. > :26:30.those, that is worth about ?50,000. It is on the note but you can't see
:26:31. > :26:35.it in daylight, you have to look at it under a magnifying light. Not
:26:36. > :26:38.that one, it is on the new ones. They are worth quite a lot. But
:26:39. > :26:44.collectors want notes that have certain serial numbers. Double A01
:26:45. > :26:47.followed by a low series of numbers, that is what the collectors want.
:26:48. > :26:56.That is what you are looking out for. I have checked it! But they
:26:57. > :26:59.have to be in pristine condition. That is what collectors are after.
:27:00. > :27:02.Really interesting to talk to you, thank you very much. Time to get the

:38:03. > :38:05.Day before, he was interesting about it, he has obviously thought about
:38:06. > :38:08.it in some detail and reading between the lines, what he was
:38:09. > :38:12.saying was that some tournaments might need Maria Sharapova because
:38:13. > :38:15.of the publicity she brings but bigger tournaments might simply not
:38:16. > :38:19.want her. They don't have Serena either this

:38:53. > :39:00.Gavin, will last night have helped people decide who to go for?
:39:01. > :39:09.20 million people watched the TV debate, incredible audience figures.
:39:10. > :39:14.The one thing that strikes me is, for two weeks pretty solid, the
:39:15. > :39:16.centrist, the man behind the new party, Emmanuel Macron, potentially
:39:17. > :39:23.the youngest president in France, has been steady in the polls, about
:39:24. > :39:27.60%, and Marine le Pen, the far right anti-EU, anti-immigration
:39:28. > :39:32.leader has been about 40%. Last night was all about emotion, it was
:39:33. > :39:38.intense. Looking at some of the papacy, Le Figaro, they talk about
:39:39. > :39:45.Macron holding firm in the face of Marine le Pen, they call it an
:39:46. > :39:50.unedited, brutal debate. Le Parisien, they say in the history of
:39:51. > :39:58.French TV debates it has never been so intense. And then this one
:39:59. > :40:03.perhaps says it all, Liberation, the lower front for Marine le Pen, she
:40:04. > :40:05.attacked and was propagating but ultimately Emmanuel Macron played
:40:06. > :40:09.the card of reason. For me, watching it, in the two out
:40:10. > :40:13.as they spoke, the presenters barely got a look in, they tried to
:40:14. > :40:17.interrupt, they were jousting with each other, she called him someone
:40:18. > :40:22.who would rip up France, a wild savage, she said. He called her the
:40:23. > :40:27.high priestess of fear. Did we learn anything? Ultimately, Emmanuel
:40:28. > :40:33.Macron try to stay cool to show, to those who think that he is perhaps
:40:34. > :40:36.not ready yet, that he could be presidential. Marine le Pen went on
:40:37. > :40:45.the attack. Perhaps it didn't work. They have two more days to convince
:40:46. > :40:50.those remaining voters, because 20% of the population are still saying
:40:51. > :40:56.they will put a vote for neither of the candidates. There is still 48
:40:57. > :41:00.hours and all to play for. Can I just ask, sometimes when those
:41:01. > :41:05.presidential debates get very feisty, as they did, it can engage
:41:06. > :41:08.people more in a debate, in the election process, but sometimes it
:41:09. > :41:13.can switch people. Have you got a sense of what the effect was?
:41:14. > :41:19.It is a really good point. Because the level of people who were perhaps
:41:20. > :41:22.disinterested was quite low, last night 20 million people, a third of
:41:23. > :41:27.the population of France, were watching, which is a big number of
:41:28. > :41:30.people. We got to see them, I think, in a way that, for the past few
:41:31. > :41:35.weeks, we have not seen them, unedited to that degree. It has been
:41:36. > :41:38.careful, controlled, but they were able to have gloves off with each
:41:39. > :41:42.other and show how they would be so maybe a few more people are engaged,
:41:43. > :41:49.and that is why it is interesting now as they go to these areas in the
:41:50. > :41:55.south and north where manager was big, can be eating into his support?
:41:56. > :41:58.It sounds busy on the bridge, what is going on?
:41:59. > :42:02.It is fascinating! We were talking to somebody who just got married,
:42:03. > :42:05.from Brazil, they were going to be our humour newspaper stand but they
:42:06. > :42:11.had to go because they had another wedding shoot to go to. We can see a
:42:12. > :42:15.wedding but in the distance, I am told they got married and hour ago,
:42:16. > :42:22.another couple got engaged in front of me. Some of them are quite shy,
:42:23. > :42:25.but this is the Alexander III bridge, it is romantic, look at that
:42:26. > :42:26.backdrop. Anything could happen in the next
:42:27. > :42:29.half an hour there! Joining us on the sofa
:42:30. > :42:40.is Professor Jocelyn Evans Life goes on, people get married,
:42:41. > :42:45.the city is buzzing! Give us your sense of where we are today after
:42:46. > :42:48.the debate last night? Political debates by definition will be
:42:49. > :42:53.confrontational but the debate last night was striking, so ill tempered
:42:54. > :42:57.and contempt I think is the word to use for both candidates, it was
:42:58. > :43:01.apparent from the beginning. The moment Marine le Pen opened her
:43:02. > :43:05.mouth to discuss what was meant to be as you would address

:43:10. > :43:13.banker, as a member of the elite, and she never let up for two and a
:43:14. > :43:20.half hours. Macron defended himself very well, he managed to put a more
:43:21. > :43:24.positive spin on what he wanted to do but France, compared with Marine
:43:25. > :43:28.le Pen, who very rarely spoke about what her programme was, it was about
:43:29. > :43:33.what his programme was and why it is wrong. You could see at times there
:43:34. > :43:36.was a kind of snarling confrontation between the two of them, sitting
:43:37. > :43:39.directly opposite each other, to the point where the people who were
:43:40. > :43:43.meant to be moderating the conversation lost control of it
:43:44. > :43:57.completely. The moderators might as well not have been there.
:43:58. > :44:00.Again, a feature of French presidential debates, the candidates
:44:01. > :44:03.will always try to talk over the moderator to get that last point
:44:04. > :44:05.across. Of the two, you would say Macron looked more slick but did
:44:06. > :44:08.continually repeated many times, madame le Pen, again and again, as
:44:09. > :44:12.if trying to wind her up? The National front in France is a
:44:13. > :44:20.political clan that has been around for 40 years, her father until 2011
:44:21. > :44:23.ran the party, incredibly inflammatory. Marine le Pen has
:44:24. > :44:26.tried to turn that down, the question is whether her party has
:44:27. > :44:31.changed, but she is definitely far more conciliatory. But last night
:44:32. > :44:35.the le Pen DNA came out, she went back to her father's style of
:44:36. > :44:40.extremely aggressive attacks and Macron was goading her. He was
:44:41. > :44:44.making the most of that name, wasn't he? Exactly, the number of times he
:44:45. > :44:46.referred to her as a liar, telling her she was talking nonsense. From
:44:47. > :45:03.someone like Macron who is, at the end of the day, and member of
:45:04. > :45:05.the elite, he has been an economics Minister, somebody far more
:45:06. > :45:08.comfortable in terms of talking about policy, how he would run a
:45:09. > :45:10.Government, even he was rising to the challenge that she was driving
:45:11. > :45:13.down of aggression. When you have a debates like this, which is so
:45:14. > :45:17.aggressive, in a way, so hostile, what does that show in terms of the
:45:18. > :45:24.future? Because one person will be president, is that an indication
:45:25. > :45:28.that the country will be more divided in the future? Whoever wins,
:45:29. > :45:36.and the polls indicate it should be Emmanuel Macron, the country will
:45:37. > :45:40.not suddenly then be united. Clearly le Pen's supporters are absolutely
:45:41. > :45:44.against what Macron stands for, last night when we got to the ideology
:45:45. > :45:48.these are two worldviews that are fundamentally opposed on pretty much
:45:49. > :45:52.every single issue, there is no point of agreement between the two
:45:53. > :45:56.of them, so even if Macron wins it might mobilise more moderate support
:45:57. > :46:00.but will also entrench a divide within the radical right. Within the
:46:01. > :46:03.radical left, who have not said they will vote for Macron, they have not
:46:04. > :46:08.said they will vote for le Pen, because to them both of the
:46:09. > :46:11.candidates are anathema so they would prefer to cast blank votes.
:46:12. > :46:16.Just a bit on the mechanics, when will we know the results? The voting
:46:17. > :46:21.is on Sunday... The results should be known pretty much immediately,
:46:22. > :46:24.polling stations are closing later than they'd use due to allow people
:46:25. > :46:27.to vote but we should be fairly clear on who the winner is by about
:46:28. > :46:44.8pm our time. Good to see you. I vote for Carol with the weather.
:46:45. > :46:48.Good morning. This is Herne Bay, a picture from
:46:49. > :46:52.one of our weatherer watchers. Beautiful blue skies in Cumbria and
:46:53. > :46:57.Stornoway. The north-west of Scotland has some of the highest
:46:58. > :47:01.temperatures in the land, that was yesterday, and it's set to do the
:47:02. > :47:05.same again today. My clicker has just stopped working. But we have a
:47:06. > :47:10.north south divide in the weather. From the morning into the afternoon,
:47:11. > :47:19.some cloud across northern England. That will fade away. The same across
:47:20. > :47:23.Scotland. Northern Ireland, a chilly start. You will hang on to the
:47:24. > :47:27.sunshine from the word go with again almost unbroken blue skies. After a
:47:28. > :47:31.cloudy start in Wales and the north Midlands, the cloud will melt away,
:47:32. > :47:34.leaving some sunshine. At times, there'll be cloud coming and going
:47:35. > :47:38.across Wales and south-west England. Here too, we could see the odd
:47:39. > :47:44.shower. The showers today are going to be fairly hit and miss. You can
:47:45. > :47:49.see all this cloud across southern counties into East Anglia. As we
:47:50. > :47:55.head on through the evening, this keen breeze making it feel cold,
:47:56. > :47:59.especially in the east. Gusty winds by day across the Pennines. Where we
:48:00. > :48:04.have the clearer skies, that's where the lowest temperatures will be. In
:48:05. > :48:08.towns and cities, five to eight. In the countryside, some below freezing
:48:09. > :48:13.so there'll be a touch of frost around. We start with a lot of
:48:14. > :48:18.sunshine where we have had clear skies in the evening times. The keen
:48:19. > :48:22.north-easterly wind, so it will feel cold along the East Coast. Inland,
:48:23. > :48:27.it's not as cold. In the north, we have seen highs of 19 and 20, but
:48:28. > :48:33.it's not going to be that warm. Friday evening, some showers
:48:34. > :48:36.approach the south-west. We'll have some rain across south-west England
:48:37. > :48:40.we think and the Channel Islands and across some southern counties during
:48:41. > :48:43.the course of Saturday. The positioning and timing of that could
:48:44. > :48:47.change. Further north, variable amounts of cloud and sunshine.
:48:48. > :48:53.Through the evening, into Sunday, the rain pushes off into the near
:48:54. > :48:57.continent. The isobars swing around. Still feeling cool down this East
:48:58. > :49:02.Coast but not as much cloud. It's not an on shore wind this time.
:49:03. > :49:06.We'll see again quite a bit of sunshine for some, quite a bit of
:49:07. > :49:11.cloud for others. It's really mixed fortunes. Temperatures by then well
:49:12. > :49:15.down in the north and they're starting to climb in the south. As
:49:16. > :49:20.we go into the new week, if you are fed up of the cold feel in the east,
:49:21. > :49:24.as the wind changes direction, we'll lose the nagging wind, it won't feel
:49:25. > :49:29.so cold. Temperatures he come down where they've been so high in north
:49:30. > :49:31.so it's not going to feel so warm. Winners and losers in every
:49:32. > :49:37.scenario, Charlie and Sal. It's about an eight-year-old
:49:38. > :49:39.girl and her friendship When Marina was born,
:49:40. > :49:43.her arms and legs had In recent months, she's struck

:50:14. > :50:22.police dog who, for the next year, But the pair have already
:50:23. > :50:33.developed a remarkable bond. The focus they've got
:50:34. > :50:42.is always on each other. They're always looking to each other
:50:43. > :50:45.to see where the other one is and what the other one's doing
:50:46. > :50:48.and that's the connection they've got and I just think it's
:50:49. > :50:51.wonderful to see it. It's been there from the very first
:50:52. > :50:54.time that I saw them and it's He instinctively has an ability
:50:55. > :51:00.to know that he has got to behave himself in certain situations
:51:01. > :51:02.and not be too rough and boisterous and he seems
:51:03. > :51:07.to understand Marina's situation. As a baby, Marina was left
:51:08. > :51:10.in a Russian orphanage after being born without legs
:51:11. > :51:14.or an arm. When she was two years
:51:15. > :51:17.old she was adopted and given What difference has
:51:18. > :51:24.it made, having Tag? She is really confident
:51:25. > :51:27.in her own comfort zone But as soon as we're out,
:51:28. > :51:32.she's nearly nine and is becoming more self-aware and she knows
:51:33. > :51:34.people are looking. She is very different
:51:35. > :51:37.and she gets very nervous. Now when we are out
:51:38. > :51:40.with Tag she is confident She is very proud of what we're
:51:41. > :51:47.doing and she is proud that she has With a career in the police waiting
:51:48. > :51:56.for him, by the end of the year I'm going to be very sad,
:51:57. > :52:03.but I know he will be a very cool police dog and he is going to catch
:52:04. > :52:08.loads of baddies. An exceptional bond formed
:52:09. > :52:25.by an exceptional pair. I think she should keep the dog.
:52:26. > :52:31.That is the agreement though, they go to a family then they leave after
:52:32. > :52:35.a year. I know. You still think she should keep the dog. Yes, but the
:52:36. > :52:40.arrangement is, Sal... LAUGHTER. She knows it's going to
:52:41. > :52:46.happen. I know. She should still keep it!
:52:47. > :52:49.The Girl On The Train broke sales records on both sides
:52:50. > :52:51.of the Atlantic when it was released in early 2015.
:52:52. > :52:53.A Hollywood blockbuster followed just over a year later.
:52:54. > :52:57.The remarkable success of her first thriller made Paula Hawkins one
:52:58. > :53:00.of the best-paid authors of last year.
:53:01. > :53:03.Quite a result for a book she described as "the last
:53:04. > :53:17.Good morning, Paula. I guess you probably don't even try and top
:53:18. > :53:25.that, do you, you just start writing again? Yes. You can't think about
:53:26. > :53:30.topping things. I started writing Into the Water before the Girl on
:53:31. > :53:33.the Train became a huge success, so I've been writing it for a while. So
:53:34. > :53:40.how long have you been doing this now? Three years. Wow. Having read
:53:41. > :53:47.it, I'm quite scared. It takes you to some really dark places, a bit
:53:48. > :53:51.like the Girl on the Train did. You trick us into suspecting everybody
:53:52. > :53:55.of awful things? Yes. It's a very dark book, a wide class of
:53:56. > :53:59.characters. Yes, I want to make the reader wonder about everybody in
:54:00. > :54:02.this town, about all the secrets they're keeping and why they're
:54:03. > :54:06.keeping them and what they might be capable of. So yes, I'm glad you
:54:07. > :54:11.suspected everyone. Paula, the narrative, the way you tell the
:54:12. > :54:15.story is, I don't know whether it's unusual but certainly very stylised
:54:16. > :54:19.so you tell it individually through a number of characters? Yes. As I
:54:20. > :54:22.said, because I gave everyone a secret to keep, that seemed to me to
:54:23. > :54:27.be the best way of telling the story. I couldn't have just one
:54:28. > :54:33.narrator because they wouldn't know all of these things. I had to widen
:54:34. > :54:37.the cast out. You had the chorus of voices telling the story of what is
:54:38. > :54:42.going on. It's an ambitious structure to have. I have 11
:54:43. > :54:45.narrators. So you might hear one person's account of a sequence and
:54:46. > :54:50.the next chapter might be the other side of the coin through their
:54:51. > :54:53.voice? Yes. So you see the same event sometimes from different
:54:54. > :54:58.Points of View and you realise that you might have imagined that
:54:59. > :55:02.something was going on. Then you think actually, this is a different
:55:03. > :55:07.slant on the situation. With the previous book, a lot of the book you
:55:08. > :55:15.would suspect you had an unreliable narrator. Here you've got a whole
:55:16. > :55:20.host of them? It's my view that that is unreliable having multiple
:55:21. > :55:24.narrators because someone's lying. Sometimes we exaggerate, everyone is
:55:25. > :55:29.unreliable to a greater or lesser degree, not always by design but
:55:30. > :55:33.just sometimes because we don't remember what happened correctly.
:55:34. > :55:38.This is specific things about a specific piece of water, isn't it?
:55:39. > :55:45.Yes. Is it the real place? Were you inspired by a real place? I invented
:55:46. > :55:49.a town which I have placed in Northumberland, sort of. I was
:55:50. > :55:53.inspired by Northumberland, it was a beautiful place. I wanted somewhere
:55:54. > :55:58.that felt wild and sparsely populated and it has that amazing
:55:59. > :56:02.bleak beauty and it's very green and lush and full of water. So it seemed
:56:03. > :56:06.like the right sort of place. It's one of the places in England what
:56:07. > :56:10.has some history of witch-hunting which is a history I wanted for the
:56:11. > :56:15.book. The book isn't about witch-hunting but it has the gothic,
:56:16. > :56:19.dark history. That is one of the features of the book, as far as I've
:56:20. > :56:26.got so far, is that mythical, slightly spiritual thing that is
:56:27. > :56:30.lurking around the place? This book is about stories we tell about
:56:31. > :56:34.ourselves, families and places. Myths have built up around this town
:56:35. > :56:38.which date back to a time where allegedly they brought women to the
:56:39. > :56:42.water, accused of witchcraft, and put them into the water to see if
:56:43. > :56:45.they sink or swim. I wanted to create this very dark history for
:56:46. > :56:50.this place and it is tied up with myth and fear of the supernatural.
:56:51. > :56:58.Paula, it's going to make a great film. Is that going to happen? I
:56:59. > :57:02.believe so. Dreamworks have optioned this book too and we are just in the
:57:03. > :57:06.very early stages talking about who might write the screen play. Wow!
:57:07. > :57:12.Yes. Your life must have changed hugely over the last few years. Yes,
:57:13. > :57:16.of course. I mean my work life's obviously changed radically and I'm
:57:17. > :57:19.busy and travel a lot doing all sorts of exciting things like
:57:20. > :57:23.meeting Hollywood people. But the rest of my life's the same.
:57:24. > :57:26.Musicians sometimes talk about that moment where they're in a public
:57:27. > :57:31.place and they hear their song play on the radio. Is there an equivalent
:57:32. > :57:35.for an author of, you know, you're sitting somewhere and maybe see
:57:36. > :57:39.someone reading your book? Yes, I mean I have seen people reading it
:57:40. > :57:44.on the tube or on planes and things and the first time it was actually,
:57:45. > :57:48.it's a strange experience and you find yourself watching them to see
:57:49. > :57:54.if you can gauge anything from their expression. Do you ever go like, oh,
:57:55. > :57:59.that's me? ! No, you're always worried they'll go, oh, no, it's
:58:00. > :58:03.terrible. That's fascinated. I would be tempted, or maybe not, a bit of
:58:04. > :58:09.me might be thinking, what do you think so far? But what if they don't
:58:10. > :58:12.like it? Well, the fact is it was an incredible success, you know,
:58:13. > :58:15.extraordinary literary success. When was the point that you knew that it
:58:16. > :58:22.was something out of the ordinary that it was going to do phenomenally
:58:23. > :58:29.well? Well, it went and did very well in the US, went to the torch of
:58:30. > :58:33.the best-selling list very quickly. That was shocking and unexpected.
:58:34. > :58:38.How do you find those things out, your publicist ring up or what? The
:58:39. > :58:42.publicist let me know this was happening. We'd been optimistic and
:58:43. > :58:48.hopeful but an unknown British author, you know, on what they
:58:49. > :58:54.thought was a debut. The book, there was like a word-of-mouth thing about
:58:55. > :58:58.it though wasn't there. I didn't see lots and lots of posters, it
:58:59. > :59:02.exploded from people like on social media? Yes, there was a lot of buzz
:59:03. > :59:08.on social media before it came out and that's good work by the
:59:09. > :59:09.publishers. Oh, I see! It's not all organic. I probably shouldn't say
:59:10. > :59:22.that. More in the pipeline? Give me a chance! I have some ideas,
:59:23. > :59:27.but they are just ideas at the moment. You are not writing at the
:59:28. > :59:30.moment? No, I'm running around the country talking to journalists at
:59:31. > :59:36.the moment but I will be writing soon. Any ideas on where it will be
:59:37. > :59:40.set? At the moment all I've got is a few characters but I haven't decided
:59:41. > :59:43.what I'm going to do with them or how they are going to interact with
:59:44. > :59:44.each other. Lovely to see you this morning.
:59:45. > :59:49.Paula Hawkins' new book is called Into The Water.
:59:50. > :59:55.Mention nannies and you might think of Mary Poppins, Joe Prost and her
:59:56. > :59:59.naughty step, but how will the next generation of Child carers deal with
:00:00. > :00:02.the needs of the 21st-century? At one college it means teaching
:00:03. > :00:06.future nannies of the rich and famous about the murky world of
:00:07. > :00:07.counterterrorism alongside lessons on child behaviour and helping with
:00:08. > :00:19.homework. The immaculate uniform is a reminder
:00:20. > :00:24.of their heritage but this training is to prepare for life and work in a
:00:25. > :00:28.very modern world. Is there anything you have noticed
:00:29. > :00:31.on this would? I have noticed that has been a car behind us the whole
:00:32. > :00:38.time following the same route as well, which is kind of suspicious.
:00:39. > :00:41.You are right, it is the Ford behind us which has been following our
:00:42. > :00:45.route since we left the car park, well done for observing that.
:00:46. > :00:48.Undergraduate Lorna is being put through her paces in a driver
:00:49. > :00:52.training exercise by a former military intelligence officer. It is

:00:59. > :01:02.the tyres of the car in front of us. Taking a standard map is brilliant,
:01:03. > :01:06.you don't have to rely on your phone, you can look at it, highlight
:01:07. > :01:09.bits, especially hospitals, places that are safe that you might need to

:01:18. > :01:26.Norlanders might find work with the royalty, VIPs, people who take their
:01:27. > :01:30.family's security very seriously. I think it is vital that these Norland
:01:31. > :01:33.nannies do have an understanding of what the threats are, how they can
:01:34. > :01:41.mitigate the risks and how they can make sensible plans to avoid getting
:01:42. > :01:45.themselves into unfortunate positions. High on the agenda today
:01:46. > :01:50.is cyber-security and the potential risks of social media. Have any of
:01:51. > :01:54.you got apps that geo- tag you? In your role as a nanny with children
:01:55. > :01:57.with you, they can understand when you take them to school, pick them
:01:58. > :02:02.up, what clubs they are going to, and when you are exposed to a range
:02:03. > :02:07.of threats, this is when their research can be used against you.
:02:08. > :02:12.Instructors are actively involved in the fields of counterterrorism,
:02:13. > :02:16.security, and personal protection, and training encourages the students
:02:17. > :02:22.not to be paranoid but to be alert. It has made me more conscious of how
:02:23. > :02:25.I use, what I do in my everyday life and being more aware of my
:02:26. > :02:30.surroundings and Stubbs owed that if there ever was an incident I might
:02:31. > :02:35.be able to prevent it or I will know hopefully how to deal with it. When
:02:36. > :02:39.I was out there driving with you guys, having that little space and
:02:40. > :02:43.distance could make a little bit of difference if there was a big

:02:49. > :02:52.a person, you don't expect to ever be put in a situation where somebody
:02:53. > :02:55.would do that to you. Nannies have always been well versed in

:05:16. > :05:17.Racing thoughts, an increased heart rate and sweaty palms.
:05:18. > :05:23.Have you got them now? No, it is fine!
:05:24. > :05:25.It's a surprisingly common condition, which is thought
:05:26. > :05:27.to account for around 45% of all sick days taken
:05:28. > :05:32.When the broadcaster Fiona Phillips left her job because of it,
:05:33. > :05:35.she decided it was time to find out more about stress
:05:36. > :05:38.She's made a new documentary about it.
:05:39. > :05:41.Beating heart, twisting stomach, dry mouth, sweaty skin -
:05:42. > :05:44.Stress, I guess. No.
:05:45. > :05:45.Acute stress? No?
:05:46. > :05:46.No, they're also symptoms of excitement.
:05:47. > :05:52.Our emotions - excitement, anxiety, ange - they're
:05:53. > :05:59.all the same bodily symptoms, so you can perform magic.
:06:00. > :06:02.You can change these from one emotion...
:06:03. > :06:14.Just by writing that little line of code in your mind saying,
:06:15. > :06:19.stand up straight, power pose, Superman pose, and say,
:06:20. > :06:40.Say it again. I feel excited, because I'm with you two this
:06:41. > :06:44.morning! We are excited as well! It sounds
:06:45. > :06:48.almost like a terribly simplistic approach to stress, if you tell
:06:49. > :06:52.yourself it is excitement not stress, that might do the trick?
:06:53. > :06:57.When I saw that on paper, filming it that day, I thought, do me a favour!
:06:58. > :07:04.No-one is going to make me get on a zip wire by standing there like
:07:05. > :07:10.Superman and saying, I feel excited! I can't tell you, it really works! I
:07:11. > :07:14.was shivering going up to the top of the platform, my legs went to jelly,
:07:15. > :07:18.all the adrenaline was coming round my body, and I got to the top of the
:07:19. > :07:23.platform feeling so nervous despite the fact that I had a harness and
:07:24. > :07:27.everything, and I did the Superman pose, which gives you the positive
:07:28. > :07:31.sort of stance, you are going to take on a challenge, and I said, I
:07:32. > :07:38.feel excited, and I just went, and I was excited. It is transforming
:07:39. > :07:42.anxiety or stress into excitement. There is a serious reason why you
:07:43. > :07:46.were so interested in stress and anxiety and the affect it has on all
:07:47. > :07:49.of us, because, to look at you, perhaps people remember when you
:07:50. > :07:54.were doing Breakfast television a bit like us, they would probably
:07:55. > :07:58.think, gosh, she has it all, great job, how glamorous must that be...
:07:59. > :08:03.Teenagers, everyone with teenagers will know the downside of that! But
:08:04. > :08:07.real life is not like that, is it? No, because the only place you do
:08:08. > :08:10.get yourself together when you have things going on is in your
:08:11. > :08:14.professional job, and when I was doing that, that was the only place
:08:15. > :08:19.that my mind was not running off to do things I was dealing with
:08:20. > :08:22.behind-the-scenes, which was two parents with early-onset Alzheimer's
:08:23. > :08:27.and two very small children at the time, as well as getting up at
:08:28. > :08:36.3:30am, and my little son had chronic eczema, we had to wrap him
:08:37. > :08:39.up like a mummy every night, so all this was going on and I didn't
:08:40. > :08:41.realise it, I was totally at the end of my tether, just trying to do
:08:42. > :08:43.everything, keep everything going while giving nothing to myself,
:08:44. > :08:56.nothing to my poor husband, who is still around... Good morning!
:08:57. > :08:59.Back to the documentary, one of the things I am curious about, you are
:09:00. > :09:03.on a zip wire, you have the tools to deal with that, it is a one-off
:09:04. > :09:07.occasion, you can trick yourself into thinking it is OK. Most
:09:08. > :09:10.people's notion of stress is a different thing, it could be
:09:11. > :09:13.financial pressure, it could be something to do with the family.
:09:14. > :09:18.Those things you cannot approach in the same way, stand there and say,
:09:19. > :09:21.I'm excited about the financial pressures on the household when I
:09:22. > :09:26.can't afford to put food on the table. Yes, that is for dealing with
:09:27. > :09:32.acute stress, dealing with being scared of doing something. There are
:09:33. > :09:35.all kinds of stress. When you experience too much acute stress,
:09:36. > :09:38.when that butterfly does not switch off and you are in bed worrying
:09:39. > :09:44.about finances, whether your kids will pass their exams, what you have
:09:45. > :09:48.got in the fridge, all these things, what you have to do is, and I was
:09:49. > :09:54.very cynical again about this, mindfulness, it really does work.
:09:55. > :09:58.What is that? What is mindfulness? My mind is so desperate, I am
:09:59. > :10:02.sitting here now thinking, actually, what have I got in the fridge for
:10:03. > :10:07.tonight?! It is keeping the shouting in your mind out of it and
:10:08. > :10:10.concentrate on what you doing at the moment, I'm concentrating now,
:10:11. > :10:15.thankfully, on what I am doing now, being here with you, not thinking,
:10:16. > :10:18.what am I doing after this? Not looking towards the future and what
:10:19. > :10:29.might happen, not looking back to horrible things that might have
:10:30. > :10:32.happened in the past and bringing those up again, it is about being in
:10:33. > :10:35.the moment and breathing deeply and exhaling slowly and it does work. I
:10:36. > :10:37.was cynical, but it does work. In the programme you monitor the stress
:10:38. > :10:41.levels of three people, different types of jobs, doing different
:10:42. > :10:44.things that we might look at and think, you wouldn't possibly be
:10:45. > :10:50.stressed, would you? From the outside, you cannot tell whatever
:10:51. > :10:54.someone is experiencing in their daily life can be extremely
:10:55. > :10:59.stressful. There was a guy, was he a plumber? And did a plumber, yes,
:11:00. > :11:04.self-employed, which is stressful in itself. Constantly on the phone.
:11:05. > :11:07.When he is doing a job, another customer is always calling him up
:11:08. > :11:10.saying, the job you did the other day is not working, when can you
:11:11. > :11:15.come around? He is constantly up against deadlines, the phone is
:11:16. > :11:19.going all the time, he has four children to try to get home to to
:11:20. > :11:25.see at night. Society is more stressful now, we are switched on
:11:26. > :11:28.24/7, even travelling, when we went on holiday to use to bone up the
:11:29. > :11:34.travel agent, they would send you the ticket in the post, you knew
:11:35. > :11:37.where they were so you did not have a panic about printing out your
:11:38. > :11:42.boarding pass, checking in online. I am getting worked up thinking about
:11:43. > :11:48.it! When you are on holiday you can check your work e-mails while you
:11:49. > :11:51.are sitting by the pool. Exactly. In the programmes you put yourself in
:11:52. > :11:55.stressful situations, not life or death, but we can look at one of
:11:56. > :12:00.them now, a maths test. I am going to give you some
:12:01. > :12:05.questions, with three seconds to answer... Three seconds?! Notepaper
:12:06. > :12:19.to do my sons or anything? 12 times six minus 18. 54? 15 divided by
:12:20. > :12:25.three plus 11. My brain is going weird. That is easy as well. 14-8
:12:26. > :12:34.times 12. 72. Flooded with stress hormones, I
:12:35. > :12:44.lose the ability to focus. 47-3... My brain is going.
:12:45. > :12:49.It is literally brain freeze, your stress hormones are really rising to
:12:50. > :12:54.the challenge and what happens is they overcome your rational brain in
:12:55. > :12:59.the end, and you become more emotional and unable to deal with
:13:00. > :13:05.the task at hand. It is really quite surprising. Has the programme helped
:13:06. > :13:09.you? How are you now? I have only just finished it, but I do try to
:13:10. > :13:14.stay in the moment. Exercise is brilliant, the whole thing, diet and
:13:15. > :13:18.exercise, every problem comes back to that. Also, acute stress is
:13:19. > :13:22.really good for us, it can arm you, that is what it is therefore, arm
:13:23. > :13:26.you for the challenge that you face every day, but it is when that
:13:27. > :13:30.becomes chronic it is really damaging and it can affect your DNA,
:13:31. > :13:37.that is in the programme as well, and lead to heart disease, cancer,
:13:38. > :13:39.dementia. But you can relax now, because it is over!
:13:40. > :13:42.The Truth About Stress is on BBC One tonight at 9pm.
:13:43. > :13:48.We asked you to tell us what's left you feeling ripped off,
:13:49. > :13:50.and you contacted us in your thousands.
:13:51. > :13:53.You've told us about the companies you think get it wrong and the
:13:54. > :13:57.customer service that simply is not up to scratch.
:13:58. > :14:00.It would seem that, once they've got your money, they're not
