03/09/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Ben Thompson and Sally Nugent.

North Korea appears to have carried out another nuclear test.

In the last hour, China and the United States say they have

detected tremors that could indicate an underground explosion.

Earlier, the state news agency released pictures of leader

Kim Jong-un inspecting what it said was a new hydrogen bomb.

today. It is on its way but some of us actually may end up with a pretty

bright day. North Korea appears to have carried

out another nuclear test. China and the United States say

they have detected tremors consistent with an

underground explosion. Hours earlier, North Korea's

state news agency said the country had built

its own hydrogen bomb, capable of being mounted

on an inter-continental ballistic There is no independent

verification of the claim. Our correspondent Yogita Limaye

is in the South Korean capital, What more do we know about the cause

of these tremors? And emergency national security council meeting is

under way here in South Korea. It is chaired by President Moon Jae-In.

What the South Korean military has said is that the tremor that have

been detected seemed to have been caused by an explosion and that they

are man-made. That is also what the Chinese "Administration has said.

The United States has also said these tremors have binge -- have

been triggered by an explosion rather than an earthquake. China has

said they detected a second set of travellers and here in South Korea,

they are still analysing what it could be that they have said it

could be and other nuclear test. We know it is in the north-eastern

province of the country. This is the region in which North Korea's

nuclear testing site is. That is the information we have as of now. At

this point, unconnected. But we saw these pictures of the North Korean

leader Kim Jong or and the pictures we see them now, of what they claim

is a hydrogen bomb capable of being put on the intercontinental

ballistic missile. -- Kim Jong-un. But the pictures are unconnected at

this point. Yes, the News of the tremors came hours after the North

Korean media put out these photographs which they say is Kim

Jong-un inspecting a hydrogen bomb -- worryingly, they said this could

be fitted onto an intercontinental ballistic missile. We know they

tested these rocket in July. Many experts believe they are capable of

hitting the United States mainland. If the claims are true and we don't

have independent verification yet, but if they are true it would

essentially mean North Korea has made a warhead that can fit onto the

long-range missiles so they can weaponised these missiles and could

be seen as a very serious threat by America. We are already in a

situation where tensions in the Korean peninsular has been at the

highest point they have been in recent years. We have seen North

Korea saying they have made a hydrogen bomb and now we're hearing

thoughts of what could be potentially and nuclear test by the

country. Thank you, we will be back with you a little later in the

programme. Hospital managers in England

have called for an emergency financial

bail-out, saying they are bracing NHS Providers - which

represents the vast majority of health trusts -

says at least ?200 million of extra funding is needed to pay

for more staff and beds. But the Department of Health says

the NHS is better prepared for winter this year than ever

before, as Helena Lee reports. Winter months can put hospitals

under severe pressure. It is a time when there is an increase in demand.

More patients needing treatment in an already stretched service. Has

been a lot of planning involved in trying to prepare the NHS for this

winter but NHS providers which represents hospital bosses say more

money is needed otherwise this winter could be worse than last

year's. Current performance in a and E departments is no better than what

it was last year despite huge amounts of effort put into improved

that performance. It is staying stubbornly stuck, quite a long way

below the official target. We know that patients safety could be put in

an even greater risk this winter than it was last winter. NHS

providers say the health service needs an extra 200- ?350 million to

help it get through this winter. The government has given councils and

extra million in social care funding to help free up hospital beds and

has ring-fenced ?100 million to relieve pressure on emergency care.

It says the NHS is prepared for winter more this year than ever

before. Senior Conservatives are warning

backbenchers not to rebel against the government's plans

for Brexit when Parliament The EU Repeal Bill is due to be

debated on Thursday. Our political correspondent

Emma Vardy joins us from our Good morning. Is this potential Tory

rebellion because of Brexit at the top of Theresa May's mind? Yes, they

have big challenge ahead of them. The great EU Repeal Bill. This is

the bill that will transfer all that existing EU legislation into UK law.

It is a really significant step on our journey to exiting the European

Union. But it is not as simple as doing a big cut and paste job. The

UK is going to need to make lots of amendments to make all of this

legislation fit together and that is why it is proving controversial

because the government is going to need special powers to make all of

these tweaks and to do this work. A lot of it will be done without the

usual Parliamentary scrutiny. Some opposition parties and opponents to

the government are worried it will give our ministers too much sweeping

powers without the usual Parliamentary oversight. There are

rumours of a bench rebellion. If that happens, it could be a great

threat to Theresa May's leadership and could really derail the plans

for Brexit. This will be a real test. Ministers are setting up the

case for unity today, urging against any sort of rebellion which they say

will be tantamount to supporting Jeremy Corbyn.

President Trump has been meeting survivors of last week's huge storm

He praised the recovery effort on a visit to Houston,

describing the emergency response to the disaster as very efficient.

Twelve British people have been arrested in Spain by police

mainland Spain. Officers say they seized three kilograms of cocaine,

taken away. A total of 14 people have been arrested, one doesn't from

the UK. The other, a Spaniard and Dominick in. They have started to

appear in court. The still -- civil guard said tourists were out

partying in Magaluf. The Foreign Office said they were providing

support for those arrested. The operation follows another drug raid

last July in which four people, British and Spanish, were held after

five kilograms of cocaine were seized.

Frankfurt is preparing to move 65,000 people from their homes

to allow authorities space to carry out a controlled explosion of a huge

The evacuation is Germany's largest since the war,

and officials have warned the financial capital could grind

to a halt on Monday if people don't leave.

Inside this tent in the city of Frankfurt, lies a bomber from World

War Two. Nicknamed Blockbuster, it weighs nearly 1.4 tons. If it

exploded, it would flatten a city block. That is why officials have

told tens of thousands of the city's residents to clear the area by 8am

local time today. They say it could take at least 12 hours to dismantle

the British bomb. It was found during work on a construction site

close to the Goethe University. It is a legacy of a war that ended more

than 70 years ago. The HC 4000 's and bomb was dropped by the royal

air force on Frankfurt in a raid in 1944. It is believed 150,000 bombs

lie unexploded beneath the German towns and cities. As time goes on,

they grow more unstable. Which means evacuations of this scale are

becoming more common. In the past few months, thousands of people have

been evacuated in Hanover and aux burgh in South Germany after similar

bonds were found. Laura Westbrook, BBC News.

Now take a look at these impressive images of the Soyuz MS-04

spacecraft touching down in the early hours of this morning,

after a three-hour journey from the International Space

It entered the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of over 500

miles per hour, with temperatures outside the spacecraft reaching

A bit of a bumpy landing. I bet they are glad to be home.

Did you know there is a special day each year to celebrate facial hair?

I did not know that. It would take me about six months to grow

anything. The first Saturday in September

marks World Beard Day, where people across the globe

celebrate the occasion. One event in Sweden held

the 'battle of barbers'. This included the country's

leading stylists competing They compete to see who can trim the

neatest beard and moustache. That little uplift and curl. It looks

like too much hard work to do at 5am.

The length, texture, colour and thickness of the hair

I always worry that they might be finding a little bit of yesterday's

lunch. Very trendy, beards, at the moment. For some. I thought the fad

would disappear but it is still going. Is still going.

Let's look at the front pages. We start with the Observer this

morning. Lots of the front pages talking about Theresa May. She is

facing the possibility of a Tory rebellion ahead of the Brexit vote.

They are saying that the whip campaign could be damaging for the

Tory party. The picture you are seeing Barrett is George and Amal

Cluny. This suggests Theresa May has secretly agreed a bill for the UK to

pay ?50 billion. They also say 70% of voters do not want Theresa May do

fund the next election. An interesting story doing the rounds

on social media yesterday. There was a female psychologist who was

pictured in a magazine and looking forward to seeing coverage of our

race and she had taken part in. The picture was there with the caption

that called her a" token attractive woman". She is very offended by

that. How on earth did that happen? The front page of the Telegraph, the

two reason may story. Damien Green warning that people need to unite

behind the government or risk handing power over to Jeremy Corbyn.

On the front of the sun and then there are, both the same story, "How

could you do this while I'm pregnant?" More revelations about

the revelations of the drink-driving. Stay with us. Now we

will go to the weather. It was called getting in the car

this morning for some of us, wasn't it? A little chilly and we have been

forecasting for the last few days some rainfall today. It is already

reaching western parts of the UK but, actually, for some of us it may

end up being perhaps a brighter day than we were anticipating this time

yesterday, particularly eastern parts of the country. Think we need

to hang on to the dry weather for a bit longer. This is what we have

this morning. Basic message with this mass of cloud and rain that we

have in the west is that it is moving very, very slowly towards the

east. That means it is the western half of the UK today stuck under the

thickest of the cloud with outbreaks of rain. In south-west and Wales the

rain may be heavy this morning and you could have some heavier pulses

of rain through the north as well. Many parts of eastern Britain Irish

were going to stay dry through the morning and through much of the

afternoon. The thinking is that eastern Scotland, the north-east of

England, much of Yorkshire there, Lincolnshire and East Anglia, it is

still dry and quite warm. 20 degrees in London but cooler out south-west

and that is where we have the cloud. And we watched the clock, see how

slowly it moves, and even by the tummy gets around about we does

talking about dribs and drabs of rain. Not a lot of rain heading

towards the east. A mild night with all of that, 16 degrees is the

overnight low in Plymouth, 14 in Edinburgh. Tomorrow morning when you

wake up it will not be chilly. It will be muddy and murky. Monday will

be the cloudy and murky day to start with and then the clouds will break

up and temperatures will reach 20 degrees. A slightly more humid day

on the way tomorrow. The first half of next week means that the weather

fronts are coming through bits of rain and overall through Tuesday and

Wednesday there will be a bit of bright weather times there will be

rain splashing through as well and temperatures into the 20s there in

London. The outlook over the next few days... We're worse, it is not

bad. Back to you. I like your description of the outlook um meh,.

We will be back with a summery of the news at 630 but now on Breakfast

it is time for The Film Review. Hello and welcome to

The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's

releases is James King. Murder in the East End in Victorian

thriller the Limehouse Golem. A New Jersey girl thinks

she is the unlikely saviour of hip-hop in Patti Cake$

and he said he will be back and now he is - Arnie returns

in the 3-D rerelease Bill Nighy, always a big draw,

this is set in Victorian era London in the dank back streets

and music halls of the East A thriller about a murderer

on the loose and the man tasked Let's have a look at Bill in action

with the brilliant Daniel Mays. At Ratcliffe Highway he's

murdered a household. He laid upon the open

pages of a book on Jewish I am a big fan of

Daniel Mays as well. I have read many

things that say it is, It is gory in parts

but not overly so. It is a thriller rather

than a horror film. I would watch them in anything,

three of my favourites. Oliva Cooke and Douglas

Booth, a strong cast. What is going on in this film

is an undercurrent to that murder story, too that's real element

it is a film about performance and about how performance

was so important at this time in music halls but also

just to people in their everyday There are people in this movie

who put on a mask every day and play And then there is the golem

himself, a warped performer When you have that undercurrent

running through the movie, that obviously gives

the cast something juicy That is a great thing

to watch at the movies Jane Goldman adapted the book

that this was originally and she has There is a lot of plot

going on and she has done a good job of streamlining it,

drip feeding information, pennies drop at just

the right moment. independent films from there

crossing over into the mainstream. Fox would love this

to be a crossover hit. It is about a girl from New Jersey,

Patti, who leads a downbeat life. She dreams of making

it big in hip-hop. Danielle MacDonald, there she is,

an Australian actress, The problem is that it is

very funny and charming but it does not quite know

what it wants to be. Sometimes it is quite kitsch

and camp, reminding me of Hairspray. Sometimes this film then gets

serious and wants to make a political and social point and it

goes sort of eight Mile with Eminem. The problem is that

it is six of one and Having said that,

the music is great and it is subversive, an overweight white

girl in the world of hip-hop which is traditionally

far more glamorous I'm just not certain whether or not

it knows if it is a full on comedy So she is a good performer,

quite charismatic. I said we were going

to save the best till last. Terminator 2, so good they have

brought it back decades later. Some would say that

Arnold Schwarzenegger's acting was barely in 2 dimensions,

let alone three, and now James Cameron, who had 3-D

success with Titanic, the same thing with Terminator

2. Let's have a look

at a classic scene. You've gotta listen

to the way people talk. And if someone comes

up to you with an And if you want to tell

them to go away, it's And if someone is upset

you could say chill out. I had almost forgotten

that phrase but I appreciate you say that it has

been reworked and in 3-D. I'd only seen it when it came

out on the big screen. Awesome set pieces

and action scenes. Sarah Connor, the Linda

Hamilton character, is one of the great action

heroes of all-time. It is wonderful seeing

her on the big screen. Seeing it as big as you can,

perhaps you have never seen it on the big screen,

this is a great opportunity Some special effects

do look creepy, James Cameron admits that,

but it is so gutsy with such power and bravado that it

still packs a punch. And you may be very

young and not even born Or will they look and think

it is all a bit dated? In 1991 this was the most

expensive film of all time. Even though it is old

now it still holds up because they put so much into it

when it first came out. It is worth looking

up if you have never You do forget how much

it cost at the time. A difficult movie to watch,

based on true events in Detroit 50 years ago, the fateful events

of one night in the city. It is doing OK business

in the UK at the moment but I would like to

see it do better. Perhaps we have had our fill

of intensity with Dunkirk and people can not handle another

intense story. Look out for the great

actors and the director, Kathryn Bigelow, she was married

to James Cameron when he made Terminator, so there's

a connection there. I hope it does better

at the cinema, it deserves to. If you do not want something dark

and bleak, something An out-of-work actor who was big

in the 1980s but has been down Then he gets a call from the police

saying that there is a criminal on the loose obsessed

with the old TV show and they need him to get back into character

to help them solve the crime. Some funny gags in this

about acting and TV detectives, plenty of jokes

about the Isle of Man. Julian Barrett stars, as does Steve

Coogan. Even though you laugh,

it is done with affection and respect for the genres

it is making fun of. I know some people felt

it was almost a series of TV Thank you very much,

lovely to see you again. James King there with all of your

pointers as to what you might Thank you for being with us

and enjoy whatever you may see over Hello, this is Breakfast

with Ben Thompson and Sally Nugent. Coming up before seven Tomasz

will have the weather. But first, a summary of this

morning's main news. North Korea appears to have carried

out another nuclear test. China and the United States say

they have detected tremors consistent with an

underground explosion. Hours earlier, North Korea's state

news agency said the country had built its own hydrogen bomb,

capable of being mounted on an inter-continental

ballistic missile. There is no independent

verification of the claim. Hospital managers in England have

called for an emergency financial bail-out, saying they are bracing

themselves for the worst winter The Department of Health says

the NHS is better prepared for winter this year than ever

before, but NHS providers, which represents the vast

majority of health trusts, says more staff and beds

are needed - or patient safety The a and E department at the moment

is no better than it was last year despite huge amounts of effort being

put into improved that performance, it is staying stubbornly stuck a

long way below the official target. We know that therefore there is a

real risk that patients safety can be put at an even greater risk this

winter than it was last winter. Senior Conservatives are warning

backbenchers not to rebel against the government's plans

for Brexit, when Parliament returns The EU Repeal Bill -

which transfers EU law into UK legislation - is due to be debated

in the Commons on Thursday. Theresa May says it will give

certainty to people and businesses Twelve British people have been

of cocaine and 100,000

euros in cash. The Spanish Civil Guard said

the group was supplying cocaine The first phase of what's known

as "ultra-fast" broadband Pilots schemes in six regions

will test full-fibre internet services to make it

quicker for businesses It's the first stage of a 200

million pound government project. With speeds of up to 1 gigabyte per

second, a full fibre broadband is a superfast Internet connection the

government wants to see made available across the UK. Rather than

relying on copper wire, this relies on fibre optic cables which runs

directly into homes and offices, allowing for much faster transfer of

information. Internet companies like Virgin media are already rolling out

full fibre across much of the country. Now, the government has

announced six pilot projects across the UK and they want to work with

industry to identify how full fibre broadband can be brought to more

homes and businesses more quickly. Cilla Mac in the case of West

Yorkshire, it is giving vouchers. -- indicator of West Yorkshire. It is

using public sector assets so we need to reduce the cost of laying

the networks. It is what is going to work. That is what we are looking to

find out. The next stage is implementing that. Full fibre is

available to around 1 million premises across the UK. Representing

about 2% of all Internet connections. That contrast with

Spain where the figure is 80%. Instead, most households have a

partial fibre broadband which is still fast, superfast in fact, but

not quite as alter fast as full fibre. -- ultra fast.

the 17-year-old had Perhaps Ben Woodburn will wonder if

he dreamt it. Yesterday evening, within five minutes of becoming a

Welsh international, he became a hero. This was a match Wales really

needed to win. It had been a qualification campaign of too many

draws." No many good enough -- no longer good enough. -- close. All

very close, all very tense. For a while, the pressure drove Wales

forward. Just the time and place for Gareth Bale. Austria's keeper had

seen him do that before. Unlike bail, would burn still has the power

of surprise. After all, he is only 17. These were his first moment is

Angela Merkel's been called the most powerful woman in Europe by several

newspapers - and now she's hoping to secure a fourth term

as German Chancellor in the general election later this month.

Tonight she faces her main electoral rival, Martin Schulz,

Our correspondent Jenny Hill has more.

It is 12 years since she debated her way into the Chancellery. And it

looks as though Angela Merkel is about to do it again. Her political

longevity, no surprise for this cartoonist who has been drawing her

since the start of her career. What a concentrated on was her eyes. Half

closed eyes. I still drawing her with half closed eyes but now I know

it's a sign for rationality and you can't look into her mind but still

my problem and situation after 12 years of Merkel, I still don't know

what the woman is thinking. But we do know that she is unrivalled.

Martin Schulz, her social Democrat opponent, trails behind in the

polls. He could win tonight's debate that he almost certainly won't beat

her at the ballot box. But, on the campaign trail, the real story of

this election. Angela Merkel's refugee policy is still a source of

discontent. These are a FD supporters. The anti- migrant party

is likely to enter Parliament and it will be the first time the far right

has been represented here since the Second World War. -- AfD. AfD is

unlikely to wield real political power you. Germany is traditionally

governed by a coalition and the major parties refuse to do business

with them. It may be months before we know what the new German

government looks like but you can be pretty sure about one thing. This

country's future direction, its relationship with Donald Trump, it

approached the Brexit negotiations, will most likely still lie at the

hands of one woman. TRANSLATION: There is an old

advertising slogan here which everybody knows and it applies to

Angela Merkel. It is better to stick with what you have got. She is not

extreme. People are impressed by her personal conduct. I remember when

there was a president photographed on his scooter going to his

mistress. Nobody can imagine Angela Merkel on mopeds at night going to

see her love. Stability, security. Angela Merkel, it is often said, is

the boring candidate but in a shifting world, what appeals best to

the German voters, is a safe bet. I think it is a safe bet there is

rain in the forecast. I do have rain in the forecast. Rain

and sunshine. Across some parts of the country there is currently a

beautiful sunrise so it is not all bad today. Yes there is rain on the

way but there will be fine weather as well. The reason for the rain is

this large area of cloud, a weather front moving out of the Atlantic we

have been forecasting for a few days. That will come over the UK

today, tonight and into tomorrow. Today, through this morning, the

heaviest of the rain for a time, it will not be very long, it will fall

across south-western parts of England and Wales, just about

flirting with the Irish Sea coast by around ten o'clock. Even by this

stage the heavy rain will be moving through, or have gone through

Belfast and in south-western parts of Scotland. Clearly a big split

across the country. Some of its wake a look at the sky and think it is

not a grey start to the day, others wake up and think it is absolutely

beautiful. Many eastern areas, from eastern Scotland, Shetland, Orkney,

all along the spine of the country down towards suffered from the

Greater London area will have a dry afternoon. A breeze out of the south

and cloudy with spots of rain. A damp weather will hang around for

the course of the night and it will be a murky drizzly sort of night.

With this murky drizzly weather comes quite warm air off the

Atlantic to 16 degrees the overnight low there in Cardiff, for example.

Cloudy start tomorrow for many of us. These pieces of rain and in

these clouds will probably break up. This warm humid air will be warmed

up by the sun in the morning and temperatures will shoot up. In the

first half of the week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, we have weather

fronts moving through and they are out of the way by Wednesday.

Basically this translates to a mix of weather in the first half of the

week. On balance, actually, it is not look bad at all, with plenty of

bright weather around. That is good to hear. Thank you. It is ten

minutes to seven and we will be back at seven with the headlines. But

first, time for Click. Believe it or not, modern nursing

as we know it only dates back to the 1800s, to the time

of Florence Nightingale The Royal College of Nursing,

here in London, is now For all the life-saving

technology that we've seen, the actual act of nursing itself

is one relationship that so far has And in the UK, a quarter

will be over 65 by 2045. This all means that the pressures

on nursing are increasing, and looking after elderly people

is becoming a pressing issue Kat Hawkins travelled to Helsinki,

in Finland, to discover whether one of these could become

the new one of these. I'm here in Helsinki,

visiting the home of Marja Roth She is an ex-air hostess,

who likes to keep active But, after a skiing accident a few

years ago, she developed epilepsy. I was unconscious for a little

while, then got up and skied, Her epilepsy means she needs daily

medication and that her family, who live in New York,

want to make sure she's OK. They get this reassurance

from her daily nursing visit, Do you think that this

is as good as a nursing visit? It's better because they see,

actually physical, see me, and then I don't have to wait

for somebody to come. They want to check basically that

I - ask if I took my pill, and... Face, actually, to see the picture,

to see that I'm OK. At the other end of the line

is Tuomo Kuivamaki. He is one of the nurses

here in Helsinki's first Here, teams of trained nurses each

make up to 50 video calls per day to people around the city

who need support. So you've still got that

kind of real human... And especially some of the older

customers, that's like a highlight of the day for them,

to have sort of a small chat The hope is that this will cut down

on the number of home visits that nurses have to do to people

who don't need physical support, freeing up more time

for those that do. The software itself,

called Video Visit, works much So, while the tech isn't that new,

Helsinki is unique in how wisely the government is using it,

and that can mean big An in-person nursing visit can

cost around 40 euros, but this new type of checkup

costs as little as five. And what really comes across,

watching this call, is that they do And it just shows that

that nursing element, that real human connection,

is still there, even though it's People do hesitate at technology,

and especially in nursing. We are actually taking

care of people. It's scary that the robots

are coming and taking our jobs. Actually, the robots

are in here already, but they are easing our job,

and actually giving us the freedom to focus on people who actually

need our physical help. Now, medical technologies,

of course, are improving One example is the use

of wearable technology Now, this can be transformative

for people with conditions like facial palsy, Parkinson's

and autism, allowing them to control devices remotely, or even

just smile naturally. My name is Bethan Robertson-Smith,

and I'm doing my daily routine. It's a series of exercises to flex

the muscles in my face. In 2008, when I was at university

studying to be a veterinary nurse, I had a fractured skull,

an acquired brain injury, and I was left with facial palsy,

also known as facial paralysis. It meant that every one of the 40

muscles that gave expression Years later, I had an operation

that allowed me to smile like a Mona Lisa, using just two

of the chewing muscles that It's very hard to know exactly

what muscles I need to move I came down to Brighton today to try

out a new piece of technology that's going to help people like myself,

who have got facial palsy. One of the surgeons who operated

on me is part of a team of experts developing technologies with sensors

to read the muscle activities So, when you were first diagnosed,

you had an examination called the needle EMG, where the needle

is put into the skin, into the muscles, to read

the tiny electrical signals With this technology,

what we're using is these sensors So the same kind of reading,

but without the pain, You have some degree of crossover

between the muscles, and that's why you need the machine

learning and the artificial intelligence, to interpret

which muscle is activating. I'm Sarah Healey, and 30 years ago,

I had a brain tumour. Try to raise both

eyebrows symmetrically. The operation to take it out left me

with paralysis on the right-hand I am certainly not alone,

as there are about 100,000 people in the UK who have had facial

paralysis for years. So each one of these dots

represents the position And so, for example,

if you were to try and do And the darker the red,

the bigger the signal. So because my left side

is better and stronger... ..it's showing up as

stronger on the screen. This is great because for the first

time, I'm getting accurate information about what is

going on with my face. I tend to overwork this side

of my face, so this really is giving me feedback that I have

to dampen down the movements I don't want, and this is just

so good at doing that. I sort of try and practise

in front of a mirror. It's not quite as subtle

as this, is it? And also, I'm not that keen

on looking in mirrors, This headset takes all

the information from sensors, just like in the goggles,

but now translates it into real-time Yeah, so I'm trying really hard

to make her do a full smile... Doing it to a mirror,

you kind of tell yourself Whereas she is like, oh, no,

that's not what it looks like. It might sound strange to say,

but for the first time since my accident, I'm able to see

what my smile actually looks like. Not to make it sound like,

I dunno, a strange way, but you're kind of doing

it with somebody else. My biggest aim for this

would be to be able to help That's been one of my aims

for the last 30 years. Have you heard the one

about the alien who walks Now, as impressive as this

bizarre setup looks, these motion-capture suits

and stages are actually the standard way that Industrial Light Magic

uses actors to give realistic movements to computer-generated

principal characters. I mean, he's a nice

dad, I think, Jalien. Even the fact that Jalien

here is being rendered in real time for the director to see

during the performance is not What is brand-new here

is the live rendering You know, our big focus was around

the face and being able to capture the face at the same

time as the body. And we can determine

what expressions are happening each frame, and then directors can see

that live and make decisions on if the character

is working as a character, whether his expressions need

to change in terms of the model. In order to process an actor's

expressions quickly enough, only one face cam and a few

Mo-cap dots are used. This simplified live data is then

compared to a higher-resolution 3-D capture of the actor's face

that's taken beforehand Now, unlike other facial-capture

systems we've seen, which take still images of the actor's face,

here they're shooting video of my face moving into

and out of each emotion. That means that the facial

recreation and the animations The live, high-quality rendering

of both face and body can also become a magic mirror on sets,

to help the actor to get And I guess it really does make

you move differently when you're on set, if you're playing

a half-tonne alien, It totally does, as long

as I engage my imagination. Because if you can see,

I'm totally beautifully... You know, in a way that Jalien

can't, my wetsuit moves in a way that maybe that arm and that

outfit doesn't move. It's good showing

you my, er, my stuff. Don't forget, we live

on Facebook and on Twitter... Thanks for having us

at your place, Jalien. Hello, this is Breakfast,

China and the United States say they have detected tremors

they have detected tremors consistent with an

underground explosion. Hours earlier, North Korea's

state news agency said the country had built

its own hydrogen bomb, capable of being mounted

on an inter-continental ballistic There is no independent

caused by an explosion That is also what the Chinese

Earthquake Administration has said. The United States geological survey

has also said these tremors have been triggered by an explosion

rather than an earthquake. China has said they detected

a second set of travellers And here in South Korea,

they are still analysing what it could be that they have said it

could be and other nuclear test. We know they tested

these rocket in July. Many experts believe

they are capable of If the claims are true and we don't

have independent verification yet, but if they are true it

would essentially mean North Korea has made a warhead

that can fit onto the long-range missiles so they can

weaponised these missiles and could be seen as a very

serious threat by America. -- The News of the tremors came

called for an emergency financial bail-out, saying they are bracing

themselves for the worst winter NHS Providers - which

represents the vast majority of health trusts -

says at least ?200m of extra funding is needed to pay for

more staff and beds. But the Department of Health says

the NHS is better prepared for winter this year than ever

before, as Helena Lee reports. Winter months can put hospitals

under severe pressure. It is a time when there

is an increase in demand. More patients needing treatment

in an already stretched service. There has been a lot of planning

involved in trying to prepare the NHS for this winter but NHS

Providers, which represents hospital bosses, say more money is needed

otherwise this winter could be worse Current performance in A

departments at the moment is no better than what it was last year

despite huge amounts of effort It is staying stubbornly stuck,

quite a long way below We know that there is a real risk

that patients' safety could be put at an even greater risk this winter

than it was last winter. NHS providers say the health service

needs an extra 200-350 million pounds to help it get

through this winter. The government has given councils

and extra billion in social care funding to help free up hospital

beds and has ring-fenced ?100 million to relieve pressure

on emergency care. It says the NHS is prepared

for winter more this year than ever Senior Conservatives are warning

backbenchers not to rebel against the government's plans

for Brexit when Parliament The EU Repeal Bill is due to be

debated on Thursday. Our political correspondent

Emma Vardy joins us from our Good morning. You would think

Theresa May would have most of her thoughts occupied by the fact of

what is happening on Thursday that probably today she is thinking about

the possibility of a rebellion. This is going to be a big challenge for

the government. It has always been known that this great repeal bill

has some very controversial elements. It is a huge piece of work

converting EU legislation into UK law. A significant step in the

journey to exiting the European Union. Now, it is not as simple as

cutting and pasting that EU law and transposing it into our own. They

need to be lots of amendments made and to do this, government is going

to be using special powers which will enable lots of technical

adjustments to our laws to be made. Critics say this means writing the

government blank cheque and say it could lead to an abuse of power.

Lots of changes to our laws being made without the proper oversight.

That is what is leading to fears of a backbench rebellion. Labour says

it cannot support the bill unless sweeping changes are made. If it

leads to a defeat in the government over this, it could severely

weakened Theresa May's leadership. Key ministers today have been urging

that -- Conservative MPs to get behind the bill saying it is needed

to deliver on the result of the referendum. A lot to think about

this week. Twelve British people have been

arrested in Spain by police investigating a drug dealing ring -

which was targeting the holiday Officers say they seized three

kilograms of cocaine Dawn and one of a number

of armed armed raids, both in Majorca and

on mainland Spain. During Operation Tatum,

officers say they seized three kilograms of cocaine,

across other drugs as well A total of 14 people have been

arrested, a dozen from the UK. The others, a Spaniard

and Dominican. The civil guard alleges the group

was selling to tourists out British authorities were also

involved in the work leading up The Foreign Office said

it was providing support The operation follows another drug

largest since the war, and officials have warned

the financial capital could grind to a halt on Monday

if people don't leave. Inside this tent in the city

of Frankfurt, lies a bomber Nicknamed Blockbuster,

it weighs nearly 1.4 tons. If it exploded, it would

flatten a city block. That's why officials have told tens

of thousands of the city's residents to clear the area

12 hours to dismantle It was found during work

unexploded beneath German As time goes on, they

a 6.3 magnitude earthquake in North Korea was caused

by a nuclear explosion. The earthquake occurred close

to a nuclear testing site. It would be North Korea's sixth

nuclear test to date. Joining us now is Professor Daniel

Pinkston, who specialises Good morning to you. Thank you for

joining us. They wonder what this tells us about the capability of

North Korea's military right now given we've now think this was a

nuclear test. Well, I'm not a nuclear engineer or a bomb designer

so I defer to those people who will look at all of the data and look at

the capabilities. The sixth nuclear test, they are mastering this

technology. It is 1950s technology. We have to assume they can deliver

these weapons with their ballistic missile forces and so now we have to

go to the next step and ensure these weapons are not used. What do we

make of the time? We know there is a big day coming up for North Korea.

It is the national holiday on September nine and some are

suggesting the timing might be ahead of that and something to celebrate

for Korea? Well, there are always days. It is the National foundation

day when DPRK was established as a state in 1948. They will make any

excuse to have a test. And engineering scientific timeline. And

then there had to consider the political implications, the

ramifications from abroad, the costs they have to pay. There were reports

yesterday there had been stockpiling 1 million tons of petroleum earlier

this year to ride out the sanctions. They expect there to be some costs

from the UN security council but they are very determined to pay

these costs. Very early days with this test. Certainly the earthquake

is a result of what we believe is a test in the last few hours but

already the Japanese Prime Minister already having spoken to the United

States. What do we expect the international response to beat this?

I think more of the same. -- what do we expect international response to

be? It will not make North Korea reversed its course and a band

arsenal unless you are prepared to disarm North Korea by force, they

aren't going to stop doing this. I think we have to go to our default

position of deterrence and containment. The good news is the

regime is secular and they wish to survive. They don't want to commit

suicide. They will test the waters and see how they might be able to

use these weapons and other capabilities for col worse if

purposes but we have to be united. -- coercive purposes. We need to

ensure North Korea will not be able to use these capabilities to achieve

these objectives. Barrow contradiction of the international

community's objectives. There are some suggestions that North Korea

are simply pushing as far as they can just to test the international

reaction. As you suggest, the sanctions will get tough. Or whether

there will be a more firm at military response. How do world

leaders respond? They have done all the talking. It is hard to see what

else they can do without taking military action. You have to be

prepared to respond to an number of coercive actions. North Korea has

our long-term goal. They are a revisionist and dissatisfied state.

They are clear about this. People have not paid attention to their

political objectives. Nuclear weapons themselves are a means and

not an end. You need to use them for something. Now we need to make --

pay more attention to what their political goals are at their

objectives. North Korea are a revisionist state and they are

dissatisfied with the revision of Korea, for example. They would like

to unify on their terms. They would like to see the sanctions

dismantled. They would like to be respected and they would like to

maintain the prestige they believe go with nuclear weapons. They would

like to be viewed as a peer nuclear weapons state. They would also like

to see the security architecture in East Asia dismantled and replaced,

the so-called San Francisco Treaty system where an number of bilateral

security alliances in the region with Japan, South Korea and

Australia, for example. They would like to see those terminated and the

United States pushed out of the region.

Is good to talk to you. Thank you very much. Will cover the story

throughout the on the programme. Now it is time for the weather. Good

morning. Good morning. The weather today is looking good for the

eastern half of the UK, Newcastle down to London. But western parts of

the country are very cloudy with rain moving in. This big wage of

cloud has been moving in over the course of the night and has reached

many Western part. That means if you live in Devon, Somerset, Wales,

Cornwall, it is in fact a damp, if not wear it, start the day. And that

will stay for much of the morning in the afternoon as well. Clearly, you

can see how different it will be across the south-east. East Anglia,

through northern England into the Scottish Borders and the east of

Scotland, they will be waking up to beautiful weather and a stunning

sunrise earlier. Our blessed in south-western Scotland and Northern

Ireland you have the cloud in the rain. The rain will not be

desperately heavy and it will wax and wane throughout the morning and

the afternoon. It is a slow-moving weather front so yesterday I

described it as clawing its way towards the east and that certainly

remains the way. A nice afternoon in Norwich, and as well is in

Newcastle. In the evening and overnight all of the market, the

hill fog, mist, my dear and murky drizzle will be in place across most

of the UK. Even bear in Scotland. Look how murky and drizzly the areas

tomorrow morning. Chances are the afternoon that cloud will break up

and because it is warm and humid air that means that the temperature will

shoot up as soon as the sun comes out. 23 degrees in London. Over the

week there will be spells of rain with weather fronts moving through

but overall what we can say about most of the week ahead is that there

will be some bright weather, not necessarily gloriously sunny. It

will not be desperately wait. A bit of rain moving through at night and

on the whole the first half of the week is looking fine. Thank you very

much indeed. We will talk to you again soon.

Good broadband is something a lot of businesses need -

and the government says a reliable connection has a direct link

Today is the first stage of a project which is testing

the next generation of broadband - it runs fibre connections straight

We're joined now by Andrew Ferguson who's from Think Broadband.com.

So what is the difference between this and the regular bore a band

that we are used to having in our homes? The majority of the broadband

we have now is partial fibre. If either runs to a cabinet at the end

of the street and it slows down as it comes into your home. This is

full fibre, fibre-optic cable straight into the premises. Forgive

my ignorance but what is the point of having a fast it to the end of

the street and then it slows down at the copper wire. It seems pointless

if it is going to hit bottleneck when it comes into your house. The

advantage is that you can roll out quickly, you don't have to go to as

many locations. It is a different scale. We will see many more people

working on this project once it really does kickstart. So if full

fibre comes straight to your house, what does that mean in practical

terms? What changes need to be made question mark it means someone will

come, like when you have a brand-new house, they have to install phone

cable. Nothing more complicated than that, it is just more modern. You

will have another small box on the wall somewhere in the property and

the advantage is that whereas now your broadband can drop out and the

lights go red, the Internet connection goes. With full fibre

that part will go away. You still share with everybody else on the

Internet so it still may be slow on a Friday night or during the

business Day if businesses are busy. You make it sound quite simple but

there are still many hurdles in place, not least because it is very

difficult to agree who has to put the networking. I know there has

been a lot of criticism of the people who look after the wires and

cables. Is a common consensus about who needs to do it and when it needs

to be done by? There is no common consensus on those particular

points. Technically it is understood that the hurdles are if it is open

rich who gets the price of doing this? Other companies, virtual

media? They have expanded their role and then other companies as well.

There is a large number of firms doing this for fibre rollout so we

are at a turning point and we are trying to get it to as much of the

country as possible since we have started we should be getting world

leading speeds. For those at home who don't have broadband at all,

would they not prefer to get that fixed first? They will be screaming

at the television wondering why we are doing this? That is one of the

problems. We don't know exactly where it is going to go. If you say

Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, that is a big area. Who will get it in those

areas? We don't know yet. We have a bit of an idea in Yorkshire so in

West Yorkshire and looks more like it will be focused on the business

side than in homeowners to we need to wait and see. Currently in the

UK, you are more likely to have full fibre than ever. It certainly has

leapfrogged. Thank you very much. 22 minutes past seven.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

Time now for a look at the newspapers.

Journalist and broadcaster Angela Epstein is here to tell us

Good morning. Lovely to see you. Let's bring through some of the

front pages first of all. The Sunday Telegraph you can see have headlined

thereabout Tory rebels then told to back Rex. Theresa May trying to head

off a rebellion. A big week as far as those Brexit negotiations are

concerned but also laying out plans to be debated on the Commons on

Thursday about the repeal bill. The crucial part that will take the UK

out of the European Union. A picture there of Angelina Jolie trying to

get through the day, she says. She says she is heartbroken after her

recent break up with Brad Pitt. Front page of the Observer have the

same lead. They talk about the Brexit campaigns, warning remainders

who may be supporting Jeremy Corbyn in their rebellion. The Daily Mail

on Sunday, a lot of controversy at the time about White Theresa May

hold a snap general election. The Mail on Sunday says it saw a memo

that said the Theresa May ignored a warning that the election was a risk

that could backfire. They call it a killer memo written by the election

guru Sir Clinton. Sunday Times, they also quote Theresa May on the front

page and polls that say 75% of voters do not want the Prime

Minister to contest the next general election. Let's have a look inside

the papers. Let's talk John Lewis. I think this is an interesting story

as far as clothing is concerned, gender neutral clothing. Explain

this for as. This is a move by John Lewis to basically try and confound

all those who argue about the idea of gender stereotypes. They will

have, if you like, gender neutral clothing. You can see there that are

yellow sweater could go on a boy or a girl. I think it is absolutely

bonkers. The story started breaking yesterday but the idea now is that

John Lewis is doing it and because they are a key retailer, a key

player in that area of the market that other stores will feel

compelled or it least inclined to follow suit. One of the challenges,

as we may know, is when you see someone with a new baby, you tell

them what a beautiful...? I don't offered as gold or it didn't you

look full pink or blue. Is the baby Noah Thayer in pink or blue? Oh. And

I have said this before. Biology does not make as an equal, it just

makes us different. I have a little girl who I had after three boys. She

chose, she chooses pink. It is not because I said she must. And she is

surrounded by noisy boys and football. There is some being there

within the biology that screams towards certain things and I think

it is so awful that we are somehow kowtowing and bowing to this idea of

gender stereotyping. It is just so beautiful and innocent and lovely.

It is not necessarily just about colours about boys being able to

wear pink girls wearing blue. This is about things like careers and

professions. Why wouldn't girls like dinosaurs, for example? That is

mainly the issue here, isn't it? Traditionally you would have had a

boys T-shirt with dinosaurs all machinery. But it is the worst sort

of social engineering because if you put children on the floor with a

load of staff, they are naturally inquisitive and they go towards the

brightest and most colourful. Essentially, you often see little

girls are still veering towards dolls, little boys veering towards

football. It does not mean that there is anything wrong or unequal,

I think children need to be allowed to be children and we should abandon

the forces of political correctness trying to steer children towards the

kind of gender neutral politically correct satisfying territory in

order to make it somehow more welcoming to those who have those

views. I think it is awful. The point of this is not about moving

people towards a certain thing, it is just saying that they can choose.

Let them choose a way. You can go into the goal section of the

children's clothes shop and there are yellow dresses or sweaters. My

husband was wearing a pink shower. It is about choice. Butler boys be

boys and girls because. Let's not make it a political issue. Moving

on... And grieve. You make it a little more het up about this.

Harriet Harman suggesting there should be a health test for drivers

over 75. I don't think it is a terrible thing. Many elderly people

value their independence and the car is critical to them. What she is

suggesting is that rather than being self-regulatory thing at the moment

whereby the driver of a certain age is obliged to declare the state of

their health but somehow we should formalise in some ways. I know many

people, as we get older, including myself, we do not like to

acknowledge the passage of time. But if that impacts on driving, and

impacts everybody on the road, were to consider what the ramifications

of those things are. Will then end up making your GP the bad guy? Good

cop, bad cop. It is about who makes it a safer place, that is all I can

say, really. The Clooney is on the front page of many newspapers. Out

and about after giving birth to weeks ago. On a serious note it's

like for every mum watching this who has just been up since three in the

morning with a baby dribbling over, I don't understand... George and

Amal is spending the summer at his home in Italy. Around every night. I

couldn't speak into my kids were six-month-old. If I did go out, I

had cereal in my head. She looks gorgeous, 12 weeks after having

twins, a massive assault on her body. As much as it is great and

glorious to look at these colourful pictures, what this says to young

mothers if you do not have to snap back into shape. She seems to be a

superwoman. It is astonishing. And also, we will not mention the word

staff. There must be fleets of them behind the scenes. 20 of help.

Plenty of new mums would like that. Thank you very much. The Andrew Marr

programme is on BBC One this morning at nine. What you have coming up for

us? Back after the August rate, thank goodness, and, as you have

seen from the front pages of the newspapers, it is still Brexit,

Brexit, Brexit. An important vote coming up in the House of Commons,

difficult to interpret negotiations going on in Brussels. We will shed

some light because I have the two crucial British ministers with men,

so Kia Starmer and David Davis who is responsible for Brexit. That much

and more including Eva Perron, well, not quite either, live in the studio

are busy hour at nine o'clock. That would be a story. Thank you very

much indeed. Stay tuned for that. Headlines are up next.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Ben Thompson and Sally Nugent.

Coming up before seven Tomasz will have the weather.

But first, a summary of this morning's main news.

North Korea appears to have carried out another nuclear test.

China and the United States say they have detected tremors

consistent with an underground explosion.

Hours earlier, North Korea's state news agency said the country had

built its own hydrogen bomb, capable of being mounted

on an inter-continental ballistic missile.

There is no independent verification of the claim.

Hospital managers in England have called for an emergency financial

bail-out, saying they are bracing themselves for the worst winter

The Department of Health says the NHS is better prepared

for winter this year than ever before, but NHS providers,

which represents the vast majority of health trusts,

says more staff and beds are needed - or patient safety

The a and E department at the moment is no better than it was last year

despite huge amounts of effort being put into improved that

performance, it is staying stubbornly stuck a long way below

Current performance in A departments at the moment is no

better than what it was last year despite huge amounts of effort

It is staying stubbornly stuck, quite a long way below

We know that there is a real risk that patients' safety could be put

Certainly a lot of optimism in Welsh football. They have drawn five and

next Golden generation. Here he is. Not quite as young as Gareth Bale

when he made his debut. A stunning introduction for Ben Woodburn.

Ben Woodburn says it's a dream come true.

Perhaps Ben Woodburn will wonder if he dreamt it.

Yesterday evening, within five minutes of becoming a Welsh

international, he became a Welsh hero.

This was a match Wales really needed to win.

This had been a qualification campaign of too many draws.

Austria's situation was similarly stark.

For a while, the pressure drove Wales forward.

Just the time and place for Gareth Bale.

Austria's keeper had seen him do that before.

Unlike Bale, Ben Woodburn still has the power of surprise.

Expressed. -- Breakfast. The average student debt now

stands at 50,000 pounds. But a new report claims two-year

degrees could be the answer to tackling what they call

"the mounting time bomb A report by a centre-right think

tank is calling for stronger legislation to break what it calls

a "university cartel" Universities say there's no evidence

they're acting together Joining us now from our Oxford

studio is Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor at

University of Buckingham. Good morning to you. Let's talk

about this two year proposals. Speak to my students and we see why they

could be a good team. -- thing. Is there a risk you lose out on other

advantages at university, social skills, life skills, that you gain

outside the classroom. Yes, varies. Just to say that in fact it is the

University of Barking Hams that I am the vice chancellor of. -- -- yes,

there is. Obviously, we are fitting a three-year programme into two

years so you lose it certain things, as you say. It is much more

compressed. But, there are great benefits. A lot of students find the

long summer is that you have in the three years and in general, the

amount of time when they are not studying, is quite considerable.

That suits some students but not others. What I think is that there

is a real scope in Britain to have many more two-year degrees that

offer an alternative. What universities clearly need to do as

we move forward is to give our students a greater choice over what

they have rather than a pretty standard three-year option which is

what most of them have. You are absolutely right. Let me correct

myself, Vice Chancellor at the University of Buckingham. It is a

Sunday morning, apologies. Let's talk about universities offering

two-year courses. You might say they stand to gain a lot of money from

the three-year courses. Do they stand to lose out? Certainly, two

use his better financially for students. They are only paying two

years accommodation, two years living. It also means they can start

working in a full-time job one year earlier. Of course, many students do

part-time work but they are earning less and not building their career

in the same way than coming in. What does that mean in practical terms?

It means that you do 78 weeks of working two years rather than three

so you are going to have 39 weeks of work a year. 13 weeks off, quite a

lot actually. Rather than 26 weeks of work per year. It is more intense

but it does mean there are real significant financial savings for

students. Perhaps not so easy for universities to handle. The report

accuses universities of acting like a cartel to keep the prices that

students are paying high. It means they are in greater depth when they

leave. The universities say they deny this and that there is no

evidence. What do you make of that? A strong claim, that universities

are acting as a cartel. That is not my belief. I believe universities

did allow fees to go up too much too fast but it is not my belief there

is a cartel, that I know of. I think most universities do a great job. I

don't agree with those head teachers that are saying we should be

discouraging our six formers from going on to university. I think

university is a great place to go when you are 18. Also, in life. We

need to diversify what we are offering students. Many more to

degrees -- two-year degrees like at my university but also offering even

better teaching and even better welfare and looking after the mental

health of students better. Still, a fantastic option for young people.

Thank you very much for your time. Time now for the weather. Good

morning to you both. The weather is a little mixed this weekend. Some of

us will be stuck underneath the cloud but others will have a fine

Sunday with some sunshine and it is Eastern areas of the UK that clinic

this is the scene around about nine o'clock. It is raining in Cornwall,

moving into Devon, Somerset, merging into Wiltshire as well and then

clearly reining across Wales. Look at the south-east. The Midlands,

East Anglia, the north of England. Almost all of it here in the clear.

The sky is hazy at this stage of the reining in Belfast. You get a sense

that most of that rain has gone through Belfast by the time it gets

the second half of the morning rains at Glasgow but not necessarily

Edinburgh. Some sunshine there so what will happen with this band of

rain, it will move very slowly and then it will fall apart a little

bit. By the time we get tonight we are left

over with a blob of murk around the country. This humid air comes out of

the south-west, 16 overnight there in Cardiff, even in the north around

15 degrees. This cloudy, drizzly and muggy will weather is with us into

tomorrow with a lot of cloud out their. Weather clouds break tomorrow

it will warm up to around 20, in fact, widely 20 degrees also. The

weather early in the week, until about Wednesday, the weather front

is moving through and it is out of the way. Summarising, there will be

sunshine around. Thank you and we will see you again

soon. I will bring you an update on our lead story here on Breakfast

this morning. This is a translation in the official North Korean state

media that has come to us in the last few moments. North Korea has
