0:00:03 > 0:00:08Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11New claims about the conduct of MPs swirl around Westminster.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13The Conservatives suspend Charlie Elphicke and refer

0:00:13 > 0:00:16what are described as serious allegations about him to the police.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20The MP says he's done nothing wrong.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24And three Labour MPs all dispute complaints made

0:00:24 > 0:00:25about their behaviour towards women.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31We'll have the latest from Westminster.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Good morning, it's Saturday the 4th of November.

0:00:44 > 0:00:45Also this morning:

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Police in New York say they are investigating

0:00:47 > 0:00:54a credible rape allegation against Harvey Weinstein.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57New figures reveal that only half the UK's fixed speed-cameras

0:00:57 > 0:01:00are actually switched on.

0:01:00 > 0:01:08In sport, it's fantasy football time for over 50 teams living the dream

0:01:08 > 0:01:11in the FA Cup, but there was no knock-out punch

0:01:11 > 0:01:12from Ricky Hatton's non-league minnows Hyde,

0:01:12 > 0:01:15who were given a Football League education by the Milton Keynes Dons.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17And Matt has the weather.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Good morning. Fairly wet start to the weekend for some but things will

0:01:25 > 0:01:29get drier, brighter and colder through the day with a few showers

0:01:29 > 0:01:33in the north and west. Full forecast coming up in the next 15 minutes.

0:01:33 > 0:01:33See you then.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34Good morning.

0:01:34 > 0:01:35First, our main story.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37The Conservative MP, Charlie Elphicke, has been suspended

0:01:37 > 0:01:37The Conservative MP, Charlie Elphicke, has been suspended

0:01:37 > 0:01:40by the party after it said serious allegations had been passed

0:01:40 > 0:01:42to the police.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44The party didn't specify what the allegations

0:01:44 > 0:01:46were or who had made them.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Mr Elphicke, a member of the Commons Treasury Select

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Committee, said the media had been told of his suspension first

0:01:51 > 0:01:54and he wasn't aware of the nature of the claims.

0:01:54 > 0:01:59Here's our political correspondent, Chris Mason.

0:01:59 > 0:02:07New allegations are emerging ever more frequently. Political parties

0:02:07 > 0:02:11accused by some of previous unwillingness to open about

0:02:11 > 0:02:15allegations they themselves were aware of now want to be seen to be

0:02:15 > 0:02:21acting quickly. This is Charlie Elphicke, a Conservative MP for

0:02:21 > 0:02:27Dover since 2010 who this morning wakes up no longer a Tory MP, at

0:02:27 > 0:02:33least for now. That's because last night the man in

0:02:33 > 0:02:37charge of discipline among Conservative MPs, the new Chief Whip

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Julian Smith, issued a statement:

0:02:48 > 0:02:53In practice, this means Mr Elphick remains in the Commons but for now

0:02:53 > 0:03:00isn't a Conservative MP. Charlie Elphicke's anger about how he's been

0:03:00 > 0:03:02treated is clear. He said:

0:03:04 > 0:03:05He added:

0:03:12 > 0:03:18Meanwhile, the Labour MP Clive Lewis has strongly denied an allegation of

0:03:18 > 0:03:24impropriety at the Labour Party Conference in September.I don't as

0:03:24 > 0:03:28a rule at packed Labour Party conferences group of people's bottom

0:03:28 > 0:03:35is when I greet them. It's just not how I roll, it's just not what I do.

0:03:35 > 0:03:42This is a place gripped by trepidation about what may come

0:03:42 > 0:03:47next. Individuals fearful for their own reputations, others fearful for

0:03:47 > 0:03:52the very reputation of politics excels. Chris Mason, BBC News, at

0:03:52 > 0:03:53Westminster.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Let's speak now to our political correspondent, Emma Vardy,

0:03:55 > 0:03:56who's in Westminster.

0:03:56 > 0:04:03Good morning. As we heard from Chris, there's a clampdown, what

0:04:03 > 0:04:07politicians, there did Asians, their standards, their code of conduct is

0:04:07 > 0:04:11coming under scrutiny now -- there applications.It feels like there's

0:04:11 > 0:04:17a dark cloud over British politics at the moment -- their reputations.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21It's been a fraught week at Westminster with allegation after

0:04:21 > 0:04:24allegation mounting up, you get the sense some years of sexual

0:04:24 > 0:04:28misconduct are now coming to light. In addition to what you heard in

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Chris Mason's report, of course, as a reminder we've seen the former

0:04:32 > 0:04:37defence Minister Michael Fallon resign. There are two Mac

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Conservative candidate ministers, Damian Green and Mark Garnier under

0:04:41 > 0:04:46investigation after misconduct in the Cabinet office, and the Labour

0:04:46 > 0:04:52MP Hopkins suspended, and there are denials and allegations going back

0:04:52 > 0:04:56and fourth. The parties are keen to be seen to be taking this very

0:04:56 > 0:05:02seriously. Theresa May has published a new code of conduct for

0:05:02 > 0:05:06conservatives, there's a new hotline for complaints and an independent

0:05:06 > 0:05:09figure to oversee grievances and there will be a cross-party meeting

0:05:09 > 0:05:13on Monday to establish an independent grievance procedure. But

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are both very much under pressure over

0:05:16 > 0:05:20this. You get the sense party officials are struggling to keep up

0:05:20 > 0:05:24with the pace of allegations, nobody is quite sure what will come out

0:05:24 > 0:05:28next and some are saying this is somewhat reminiscent of the expenses

0:05:28 > 0:05:34scandal that rocked British politics in 2009. Others are saying, take a

0:05:34 > 0:05:40step back, this is what we're seeing, a long overdue change in the

0:05:40 > 0:05:44culture of British politics. This morning parties are poised for other

0:05:44 > 0:05:48allegations to perhaps come out and nobody really knows exactly how long

0:05:48 > 0:05:53this will take to run its course and where it's going to go next.We'll

0:05:53 > 0:05:55be following it closely. Emma, thanks very much.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Police in New York say they have a viable case

0:05:58 > 0:06:00against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02The announcement came after actress Paz de la Huerta

0:06:02 > 0:06:04claimed that Mr Weinstein raped her twice in 2010.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08She is among dozens of women who have come forward since October

0:06:08 > 0:06:10to accuse the 65-year-old of sexual misconduct.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12He has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.

0:06:12 > 0:06:20David Willis reports.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24Recent weeks have seen a torrent of allegations against Harvey

0:06:24 > 0:06:29Weinstein. Now comes the first word of a possible arrest. New York

0:06:29 > 0:06:33detectives following up a call to the department last week are

0:06:33 > 0:06:37investigating an actress's claimed that the former movie mogul raped

0:06:37 > 0:06:43her twice back in 2010. They say the woman's account is detailed and

0:06:43 > 0:06:48credible.We have an actual case here. We are happy with where the

0:06:48 > 0:06:52investigation is right now. Mr Weinstein is out of state. We would

0:06:52 > 0:06:56need an arrest warrant to arrest him. So right now we're gathering

0:06:56 > 0:07:02our evidence, we continue to do so every day.And some of Hollywood's

0:07:02 > 0:07:06biggest names, among them Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, came

0:07:06 > 0:07:10forward to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. He issued a

0:07:10 > 0:07:14statement emphatic Lee denying any allegation of nonconsensual sex.

0:07:14 > 0:07:20He's now under investigation here, in Los Angeles and in the UK as

0:07:20 > 0:07:25well. Like ripples in a pond, the accusations of misconduct against

0:07:25 > 0:07:31men of wealth and influence appeared to be growing rapidly. David Willis,

0:07:31 > 0:07:45BBC News, Los Angeles.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50Netflix has cut all ties with Kevin Spacey,

0:07:50 > 0:07:53who plays the lead role in one of its most successful programmes,

0:07:53 > 0:07:54House of Cards.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57The company said it would no longer be involved in the series

0:07:57 > 0:08:00if the actor continued to be part of it.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02The announcement came after Mr Spacey faced allegations

0:08:02 > 0:08:04of sexual misconduct from a string of men.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06A Spanish judge has issued European Arrest Warrants

0:08:06 > 0:08:09for the sacked Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont and four

0:08:09 > 0:08:11of his allies who went to Belgium.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13The five failed to attend a High Court hearing in Madrid

0:08:13 > 0:08:16on Thursday when nine other ex-members of the regional

0:08:16 > 0:08:18government were taken into custody, facing charges of rebellion,

0:08:18 > 0:08:21sedition and misuse of public funds for pursuing Catalan independence.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Mr Puigdemont has said he will not return to Spain unless he receives

0:08:25 > 0:08:26guarantees of a fair trial.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29The White House has attempted to downplay the findings of a major

0:08:29 > 0:08:32climate change report compiled by 13 US federal agencies.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34The report said it was extremely likely, meaning

0:08:34 > 0:08:37with 95% to 100% certainty that global warming is manmade,

0:08:37 > 0:08:39mostly from carbon dioxide through the burning of coal,

0:08:39 > 0:08:41oil and natural gas, contradicting senior

0:08:41 > 0:08:41Trump officials.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45US President Donald Trump kicks off an 11-day trip to Asia this weekend,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47taking in South Korea, Japan and China.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51It will be the longest tour of Asia by a US president in 25 years.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Before setting out he visited Hawaii's Pearl Harbor to see a US

0:08:54 > 0:08:57battleship sunk by Japanese bombers in the Second World War,

0:08:57 > 0:08:59and received a security briefing from the US Pacific Command

0:08:59 > 0:09:01on issues including North Korea's nuclear programme.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05Only around a half of fixed speed cameras in the UK are actually

0:09:05 > 0:09:07switched on, according to figures obtained through a Freedom

0:09:07 > 0:09:08of Information request.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11The data reveals that at least four police forces have no

0:09:11 > 0:09:14fixed speed cameras at all, and 13 have fewer than half actively

0:09:14 > 0:09:15catching speeding drivers.

0:09:15 > 0:09:25Alan Clayton reports.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29For motorists caught out by them, they infuriate and bring a hefty

0:09:29 > 0:09:35fine. Safety campaigners argue speed cameras are lifesavers. New research

0:09:35 > 0:09:40suggests only around half of the luminous boxes throughout the UK are

0:09:40 > 0:09:44operational. The Press Association sent a Freedom of Information

0:09:44 > 0:09:47request to all of the 45 forces asking how many fixed speed cameras

0:09:47 > 0:09:53they had and how many were active. The 36 which responded had a total

0:09:53 > 0:09:54of 2838

0:09:54 > 0:09:58The 36 which responded had a total of 2838 cameras, of which only 52%

0:09:58 > 0:10:02were working. Forces in Cleveland, Durham and North Yorkshire said none

0:10:02 > 0:10:07of their fixed speed cameras were active. While Northants said it

0:10:07 > 0:10:11turned its cameras off six years ago but left them in place to deter

0:10:11 > 0:10:12speeding.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17Those than replied said they used mobile speed cameras and regularly

0:10:17 > 0:10:19reviewed which cameras were turned on.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23I suspect in this case there thinking that the yellow boxes are

0:10:23 > 0:10:28there, they're sending out the message that motorists ought to be

0:10:28 > 0:10:32recognising about risky roads, but they're also increasingly looking to

0:10:32 > 0:10:35more advanced technology such as average speed cameras, or indeed

0:10:35 > 0:10:38better engineering of the road, which might have a more beneficial

0:10:38 > 0:10:42affect. The national police chiefs council

0:10:42 > 0:10:47said the decision to use cameras was an operational matter and that all

0:10:47 > 0:10:50forces have individual responsibility for their use of the

0:10:50 > 0:10:54cameras. Alan Clayton, BBC News.

0:10:54 > 0:10:59I don't know if you would be able to speed in this car but you would be

0:10:59 > 0:11:03wanting to take as long as you could to show off.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08It was fit for the king of rock n roll but how would it look

0:11:08 > 0:11:08in your driveway?

0:11:08 > 0:11:12It would look good in yours, Naga. It is pink, just your colour!

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Elvis Presley's pink 1957 cadillac is up for sale at auction

0:11:15 > 0:11:17and after 30 years in a museum.

0:11:17 > 0:11:22What price would you put on it, not the piano, on the car?That is

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Whitney Houston's piano, that's worth a lot.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28It's expected to sell for $2 million.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29Whitney Houston's grand piano,

0:11:29 > 0:11:33which was given to her as a gift by her husband Bobby Brown,

0:11:33 > 0:11:37is also going under the hammer, along with a nightgown that once

0:11:37 > 0:11:38belonged to Jackie Kennedy.

0:11:38 > 0:11:43That is a haul of Hollywood delights.All going under the

0:11:43 > 0:11:47hammer. You would dent the car if it really went under the hammer but it

0:11:47 > 0:11:51will be going under auction very soon.Let's look at the papers. Lots

0:11:51 > 0:11:55going on on the front pages, the allegations swirling around

0:11:55 > 0:12:01Westminster on many of the front pages. The Times is looking at

0:12:01 > 0:12:07Fallon. Apparently Number 10 has been presented with details of an

0:12:07 > 0:12:11alleged sexual assault by Michael Fallon hours before his resignation.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15It must be said he has said the claim isn't true and it is

0:12:15 > 0:12:19libellous. He has said, "I've already accepted I've behaved

0:12:19 > 0:12:23inappropriately in the past but I've never physically assaulted anybody

0:12:23 > 0:12:27those great. That inappropriate behaviour he acknowledged is the

0:12:27 > 0:12:35reason why he resigned. But what might have happened in the hours

0:12:35 > 0:12:39before the resignation to cause it? Yesterday there were allegations

0:12:39 > 0:12:43that Andrea Letson, the Leader of the House of commons, had gone to

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Theresa May and said that Mr Fallon made comments to her that she didn't

0:12:47 > 0:12:52approve of some years ago. The Telegraph and the Daily Mail are

0:12:52 > 0:12:55suggesting there's party politics and leadership politics and career

0:12:55 > 0:13:00politics behind this, claiming that Fallon was scheming to have Andrea

0:13:00 > 0:13:04Letson sacked over Brexit and that's what made her go to the Prime

0:13:04 > 0:13:14Minister. So hard to know exactly what's going on in this. As we

0:13:14 > 0:13:18reiterate, Michael Fallon says he has done nothing wrong. Andrea

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Letson hasn't commented on whether she made the allegations in the

0:13:21 > 0:13:25first place. She has declined to comment. The Guardian is looking at

0:13:25 > 0:13:30the cost of Brexit, remember that, that's still going on, households

0:13:30 > 0:13:34will face increases of £930 in annual shopping bills if Britain

0:13:34 > 0:13:37walks away from Brexit talks without a trade deal.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41We haven't talked much about Brexit over the last few days, it's all

0:13:41 > 0:13:45been about MPs and their personal and professional lives rather than

0:13:45 > 0:13:50policy. We will be covering more on it from Westminster through the

0:13:50 > 0:14:02morning. Time to look at Matt with the weather. A glorious sunrise.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Grey clouds. To begin with but the sunshine eventually breaks through.

0:14:06 > 0:14:12It turns bright through the day and a bit colder. The colder air is with

0:14:12 > 0:14:15the speckled cloud to the north-west. You can see the cloud we

0:14:15 > 0:14:19have at the moment. It's here a cross England and Wales that we have

0:14:19 > 0:14:23the wettest weather. Not a great start to the weekend. The rain is

0:14:23 > 0:14:28pushing eastwards. Parts of East Anglia and down to Kent, a lot of

0:14:28 > 0:14:32rain over the next few hours. The worst of the wet weather into the

0:14:32 > 0:14:37afternoon. In the Midlands and other parts of central England, not a

0:14:37 > 0:14:40pleasant morning. The rain easing off in the south-west and north-west

0:14:40 > 0:14:46England by about 9am, with a couple of showers still around. Brighter

0:14:46 > 0:14:50conditions for Scotland and Northern Ireland to stop the weekend, but a

0:14:50 > 0:14:53few showers to the north and west which could become heavy later.

0:14:53 > 0:14:58Sleet and snow to higher ground. Eventually the cold air pushes

0:14:58 > 0:15:02across much of England and Wales. Rain eventually clearing away from

0:15:02 > 0:15:06East Anglia by the time we get to mid-or late afternoon. A few

0:15:06 > 0:15:11showers, even with the sunshine in the west. Temperatures fall away.

0:15:11 > 0:15:16Only single figures in northern and western parts. So chilly evening for

0:15:16 > 0:15:19any fireworks displays. Wendy of showers in western areas. Eastern

0:15:19 > 0:15:26areas are clearer. Showers into the north and west into Sunday morning.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Clearer skies across eastern England and eastern Scotland. A chilly

0:15:29 > 0:15:34night. These are the temperatures in towns and cities. Some rural parts

0:15:34 > 0:15:40below freezing. It will make for a chilly start tomorrow morning. Many

0:15:40 > 0:15:44eastern areas are brighter. Western areas seeing showers. They continued

0:15:44 > 0:15:50in many parts, including the Midlands. Later in the day down the

0:15:50 > 0:15:54eastern coast there could be a couple of showers. Overall a lot of

0:15:54 > 0:15:59dry weather on Sunday and fewer showers. It feels colder in the

0:15:59 > 0:16:05breeze. If you have your fireworks display tomorrow, only a couple of

0:16:05 > 0:16:10showers around, but it will turn cold quickly. Developing quickly in

0:16:10 > 0:16:16Scotland and slowly easing from the west overnight. But it turns chilly

0:16:16 > 0:16:20across England and Wales to take us into Monday morning. In fact as we

0:16:20 > 0:16:24start the new week many across England and Wales will wake up to a

0:16:24 > 0:16:27touch of lost around on the grass and other cars as well. A lovely

0:16:27 > 0:16:32start to Monday. Scotland and Northern Ireland, brightness giving

0:16:32 > 0:16:36way to wind and rain. Overall, nothing unusual for this time of

0:16:36 > 0:16:39year. Just a little bit chilly, especially

0:16:39 > 0:16:42year. Just a little bit chilly, especially by night.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46You are wearing your fireworks tie. I did!

0:16:46 > 0:16:54It's really good! It's the little details that count.

0:16:54 > 0:17:02All of the sport later. First, let's check in with the first family of

0:17:02 > 0:17:06horseracing. They are synonymous with the jump season at the

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Cheltenham Gold Cup. As the national Hunt calendar

0:17:10 > 0:17:15begins, the family is gearing up for another winning season. We've been

0:17:15 > 0:17:18talking about the secret of their success.

0:17:18 > 0:17:23First light and as the jump season gets under way there is a sense of

0:17:23 > 0:17:28anticipation for racing 's first family. Ted, Ruby and Katie Walsh no

0:17:28 > 0:17:32glory could lie ahead and it is here at their yard that the plans are

0:17:32 > 0:17:38forged. There are dreams of the winners at Cheltenham and entry but

0:17:38 > 0:17:42it is here in the yard that hard work is done to prepare the horses

0:17:42 > 0:17:48like this one for the course. With the morning's work done, it's time

0:17:48 > 0:17:54for breakfast.All of the horses are back in and you don't really know if

0:17:54 > 0:18:02something is any good. It is time to kind of find out what you have for

0:18:02 > 0:18:06the rest of the season.And the family knows a thing or two about

0:18:06 > 0:18:14what makes a good horse. Happy on, trained by Ted, groomed by Katie and

0:18:14 > 0:18:17ridden by Ruby. It clear the fence as the winner Grand National 17

0:18:17 > 0:18:25years ago. Katie then went on to finish third in 2012 on Sea Bass. A

0:18:25 > 0:18:30race that still captivates them. Everyone genuinely at that start

0:18:30 > 0:18:37said, you said it, you have a chance of winning this!I'll tell you what

0:18:37 > 0:18:50it was. You were thinking you had no chance!Now 38, Ruby Walsh has

0:18:50 > 0:18:54ridden over 2000 winners and broken a lot of bones along the way. Some

0:18:54 > 0:18:57think he feels is simply an occupational hazard.There are loads

0:18:57 > 0:19:01of different things in the world that people do that are high risk.

0:19:01 > 0:19:12When they join the army and navy. Your spleen, that ruptured, but you

0:19:12 > 0:19:17don't need it, so we just took it out and moved on.Throughout it all

0:19:17 > 0:19:21standing behind his children is a proud father.I couldn't have dreams

0:19:21 > 0:19:25when they were two kids growing up that they would have achieved what

0:19:25 > 0:19:29they have achieved. I got as much kick out of them winning as I would

0:19:29 > 0:19:35have training them. It is parenting, you know what I mean.A new season

0:19:35 > 0:19:39awaits with all its twists and turns, but no matter what the Walsh

0:19:39 > 0:19:47family's enduring love for their sport is a racing certainty.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50No room on that breakfast table for any more trophies, it's absolutely

0:19:50 > 0:19:53packed. Packed with muffins!

0:19:53 > 0:19:57Now it's time for the Film Review, with Mark Kermode and Jane Hill.

0:20:07 > 0:20:13Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

0:20:13 > 0:20:18To take us through this week's cinema releases is Mark Kermode.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22Good to have you back.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24What have we been watching?

0:20:24 > 0:20:27So we have Kenneth Branagh's take on Murder on the Orient Expression.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Killing A Sacred Deer, the latest from Yorgos Lanthimos.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33And the bad mums are back in Bad Mom's Christmas.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35It's that time of year.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37It is.

0:20:37 > 0:20:43Let's start with Murder on the Orient Express.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46It had just a bit of publicity, I think people probably know

0:20:46 > 0:20:47it is out.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49You would be hard-pressed to avoid it.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52The story has been on the big screen and small screen before,

0:20:52 > 0:20:57most famously as an early 70s version, so this is the new version

0:20:57 > 0:21:02directed by Kenneth Branagh who also stars as Hercule Poirot,

0:21:02 > 0:21:05the Belgian detective with the most unbelievable twin layered moustache.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08The moustache should get a billing of its own.

0:21:08 > 0:21:15He is travelling from Istanbul to Calais, on the titular train.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18He has to get somewhere, but once he gets on the train,

0:21:18 > 0:21:19something is going to happen.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23There is a virtual Cluedo board of famous people.

0:21:23 > 0:21:30So we have Derek Jacobi as the butler, Willem Dafoe,

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Dame Judi Dench, Michelle Pfeiffer as a widow and Johnny Depp

0:21:32 > 0:21:34as a gangster.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Something bad is going to happen.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Here is a clip.

0:21:46 > 0:21:51Well, hello.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Eyes linger any longer, I'll have to charge rent.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57I'll pay.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Oh. Have another drink.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03Are you insulted?

0:22:03 > 0:22:03Hm.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Disappointed.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Some men have a good look.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12All they have to do is keep their mouths shut and they can take

0:22:12 > 0:22:13home any prize they want.

0:22:13 > 0:22:18Still, the mouth opens.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21HE SNIFFS

0:22:21 > 0:22:28Mm...

0:22:28 > 0:22:29I don't know why I'm laughing.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31I don't think I am meant to!

0:22:31 > 0:22:32You are.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35There is lot of scenery chewing.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39I mean, there are scenes of Hercule Poirot, you know,

0:22:39 > 0:22:41eating chocolate, enjoying it and so are the cast.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43They are sinking their teeth into the scenery.

0:22:43 > 0:22:44A murder is committed.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Everyone is a suspect.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Everyone is shocked, but everyone has secrets

0:22:48 > 0:22:50and therefore everyone has to be interrogated.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53What I like about this, and I did like it, is firstly

0:22:53 > 0:22:56it is old fashioned entertainment.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58I remember seeing the '74 version and with this

0:22:58 > 0:23:02I knew the story, I know some people won't -

0:23:02 > 0:23:06and if you don't you are in for a treat because it's a real Swiss

0:23:06 > 0:23:08watch kind of constructed mechanism.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10But the whole thing takes place on the train,

0:23:10 > 0:23:12and it's shot in 65mm.

0:23:12 > 0:23:21The camera sashays up and down the train, outside and inside.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Occasionally you get these wonderful overhead shots.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27There is a sequence in which we discover

0:23:27 > 0:23:27the victim's body.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31It is like they have gone to every possible end to make the most

0:23:31 > 0:23:33visually of this confined space.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Occassionally some of the exterior shots look a little like bit

0:23:36 > 0:23:39like The Polar Express.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43But what I liked about it was the cast, they all get what kind

0:23:43 > 0:23:45of movie they are in.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48They are playing ripe characters, it is all very thumbnail sketches.

0:23:48 > 0:23:49Branagh is clearly enjoying himself enormously.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52He likes the character of Poirot.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55There is this central thing of Poirot is a perfectionist,

0:23:55 > 0:24:00he is a bit obsessive,

0:24:00 > 0:24:04he keeps trying to straighten people's ties, and at one point

0:24:04 > 0:24:08he says, I see the world as it should be and I can't relax

0:24:08 > 0:24:10if something is out of kilter.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13You have to go into this thinking it is an Agatha Christie,

0:24:13 > 0:24:14there is...

0:24:14 > 0:24:15Does it need to be remade?

0:24:15 > 0:24:17It looks beautiful but I don't know...

0:24:17 > 0:24:18Does that matter?

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I thought it was big screen entertainment,

0:24:20 > 0:24:24like a variety show, the train becomes a stage,

0:24:24 > 0:24:28we have all these famous stars come on, do their bit -

0:24:28 > 0:24:31I really enjoyed it.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34I went in feeling trepidatious, smiled all the way through

0:24:34 > 0:24:37and despite the fact I know the plot, I thought its revelations

0:24:37 > 0:24:38were handled well.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42I know some critics have been sniffy about it.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45I just think it's a good, solid piece of old fashioned

0:24:45 > 0:24:47entertainment.

0:24:47 > 0:24:48And it looks good.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51It looks really good, that is not a little thing.

0:24:51 > 0:24:51OK.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56I mean, I have seen the trailer so many times and I am

0:24:56 > 0:24:58terrified just by the trailer.

0:24:58 > 0:25:06That really looks good, but terrifying.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07Yorgos Lanthimos has worked in black comedy,

0:25:07 > 0:25:12social satire before.

0:25:12 > 0:25:13This is something more disturbing.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Colin Farrell is a heart surgeon, he has a perfect life.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19He has a glamorous house and two lovely children.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21He has a strange relationship with an awkward teenager called

0:25:21 > 0:25:24He has a strange relationship with an awkward teenager called

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Martin, who turns up at work and bothering him at work.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31At first he seems to be innocent but then he starts to look

0:25:31 > 0:25:32like a young Norman Bates.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35There's a little touch of We Need To Talk About Kevin.

0:25:35 > 0:25:42The story is becoming a weirdly surreal revenge drama.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46So you start laughing, as you often do with his films,

0:25:46 > 0:25:49then it starts moving into the territory of The Shining.

0:25:49 > 0:25:50There are cameras creeping through corridors,

0:25:50 > 0:25:53strange ovwerhead shots.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56We look to some extent towards a film like Haneke's Funny Games,

0:25:56 > 0:25:58so painful to watch.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01The thing I like about it, and Yorgos Lanthimos would like too,

0:26:01 > 0:26:05I spent the film not knowing where it was going.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09Yes, it's a horror movie on one level, on one level it's Saw

0:26:09 > 0:26:10for the upmarket, art house crowd.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12On another level it's a strange distance black comedy.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15You never quite relax into it.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18I felt very uneasy and I've thought a lot about it

0:26:18 > 0:26:20since I saw it and I think that's a recommendation.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23OK, is there going to be a recommendation for Bad Mom's

0:26:23 > 0:26:27Christmas?

0:26:27 > 0:26:29I haven't thought about it a lot.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33Three women decide to rebel against the tyranny of being a super

0:26:33 > 0:26:36mum, largely with the help of swearing and alcohol.

0:26:36 > 0:26:37Along comes Christmas, this time they rebel

0:26:37 > 0:26:40against the tyranny of the most stressful season of the year.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Here is a clip.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45I'm just like a giant stress ball from November to New Year's.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48I just want to enjoy Christmas again.

0:26:48 > 0:26:53Yeah...

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well, then let's do it.

0:26:55 > 0:26:56What?

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Guys, what is wrong with us?

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Have we learnt nothing?

0:27:01 > 0:27:04We are mothers, and if things are not going our way,

0:27:04 > 0:27:05then what do we do?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07We hide in the bathroom.

0:27:07 > 0:27:08No.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10We don't, we don't do that.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12We stand up and we fight back.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Yes.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18So, if we want to do Christmas our way this year,

0:27:18 > 0:27:21then we're going to do Christmas our way.

0:27:21 > 0:27:26I laughed during that clip.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28When I saw the first one, I went in thinking...

0:27:28 > 0:27:30I had low expectations and I enjoyed it.

0:27:30 > 0:27:34In the case of this same thing, I went along thinking I enjoyed

0:27:34 > 0:27:38the first one and it was nothing like as funny, partly it is not

0:27:38 > 0:27:41as funny because this time the bad mums are having to deal

0:27:41 > 0:27:44with their own bad mums, so it's almost like three separate stories.

0:27:44 > 0:27:48That said, I counted how many times I laughed and I laughed seven times.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51I have this thing which is a six laugh rule.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55If you laugh six times it's officially a comedy.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Yes, it is all over the place, it doesn't make sense,

0:27:58 > 0:28:00it doesn't have anything like the joyous simplicity

0:28:00 > 0:28:02of the first one, but I kind of laughed.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05I liked the characters, it's very very much a retread

0:28:05 > 0:28:08of the only thing, once again, the solution involves alcohol

0:28:08 > 0:28:11and swearing, but I would be lying if I said I didn't laugh.

0:28:11 > 0:28:12Well, that's Christmas!

0:28:12 > 0:28:15Best out is a rerelease?

0:28:15 > 0:28:19So the remake of Wages of Fear - it did really badly 40 years ago

0:28:19 > 0:28:24and nobody got to see it.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27Now it's back in a restoration and it is one of the most brutal,

0:28:27 > 0:28:31gruelling, muscular, visceral American action

0:28:31 > 0:28:32movies of the 1970s.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35It is an extraordinary piece of work, you need to see it

0:28:35 > 0:28:38on the big screen.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42You need to seek it out because it's coming out on Blu-ray on Monday.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44If you get a chance to see this film projected.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47Score by Tangerine Dream, I know you're a fan,

0:28:47 > 0:28:48it's a brilliant cinema experience.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51I was about to say I'm going to borrow your Blu-ray,

0:28:51 > 0:28:57but actually you're saying watch it on the big screen?

0:28:57 > 0:29:00Blu-ray is great, but need to see it on a big screen,

0:29:00 > 0:29:02this is a film they worked out,

0:29:02 > 0:29:07two-years in the making, and then it came out and it came out

0:29:07 > 0:29:12the same time as Star Wars, and the audience decided they didn't

0:29:12 > 0:29:14want a gruelling visceral thriller.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17That, you know, a story that starts at a point of no

0:29:17 > 0:29:19hope and goes downhill from there.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21OK. DVD for anyone who wants to stay in?

0:29:21 > 0:29:24It Comes At Night, it's a chiller.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27It's not a horror film.

0:29:27 > 0:29:31It's a story in a near future in which a virus has attacked mankind.

0:29:31 > 0:29:35A family are hiding in a cabin the woods.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38It's all about it comes at night, but actually the danger

0:29:38 > 0:29:39is from within.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42It's about people turning on each other, distrusting each other,

0:29:42 > 0:29:45paranoia, it has a lot to say about the modern political landscape

0:29:45 > 0:29:48and it's not a film that relies on gory shocks,

0:29:48 > 0:29:52it has an atmosphere of creeping dread.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55I have brought a DVD along that I'm going to give

0:29:55 > 0:29:58to you as your homework, because you are going to like horror

0:29:58 > 0:30:00films in the very near future!

0:30:00 > 0:30:02You have said woods, cabins and paranoia.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04You do that to me deliberately.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06In a subtle way!

0:30:06 > 0:30:08That subtle paranoia that I so love.

0:30:08 > 0:30:09Thank you.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10It is my early Christmas present.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12It is a delight.

0:30:12 > 0:30:13Thank you very much.

0:30:13 > 0:30:19Try harder next week.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22A reminder, you can find all our previous programmes

0:30:22 > 0:30:31on the iPlayer as well.

0:30:31 > 0:30:33That's it for this week.

0:30:33 > 0:30:34I've got a fun week ahead!

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Thanks for watching, enjoy your cinema going.

0:30:36 > 0:30:37Goodbye.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Good morning, here's a summary of this morning's main stories

0:31:23 > 0:31:24from BBC News:

0:31:24 > 0:31:27He Conservative MP, Charlie Elphicke, has been suspended

0:31:27 > 0:31:29by the party after it said serious allegations had been passed

0:31:29 > 0:31:30to the police.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32The party didn't specify what the accusations were,

0:31:32 > 0:31:34or who had made them.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36Mr Elphicke, a member of the Commons Treasury Select

0:31:36 > 0:31:39Committee, said the media had been told of his suspension first,

0:31:39 > 0:31:46and he wasn't aware of the nature of the claims.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48Three Labour MPs have disputed complaints made

0:31:48 > 0:31:49about their behaviour towards women.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51Clive Lewis, Kelvin Hopkins and Ivan Lewis

0:31:51 > 0:32:05all deny any wrong doing.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Labour has announced a raft of measures it says will make sure

0:32:08 > 0:32:10complaints are dealt with independently.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13Police in New York say they have a viable case

0:32:13 > 0:32:14against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17The announcement came after the actress Paz de la Huerta

0:32:17 > 0:32:19claimed that Mr Weinstein raped her twice in 2010.

0:32:19 > 0:32:23She is among dozens of women who have come forward since October

0:32:23 > 0:32:24to accuse the 65-year-old of sexual misconduct.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27He has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Netflix has cut all ties with Kevin Spacey,

0:32:29 > 0:32:32who plays the lead role in one of its most successful programmes,

0:32:32 > 0:32:33House of Cards.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36The company said it would no longer be involved in the series

0:32:36 > 0:32:39if the actor continued to be part of it.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41The announcement came after Mr Spacey faced allegations

0:32:41 > 0:32:44of sexual misconduct from a string of men.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46A Spanish judge has issued European Arrest Warrants

0:32:46 > 0:32:49for the sacked Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont and four

0:32:49 > 0:32:51of his allies who went to Belgium.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54The five failed to attend a High Court hearing in Madrid

0:32:54 > 0:32:56on Thursday, when nine other ex-members of the regional

0:32:56 > 0:32:57government were taken into custody.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01Mr Puigdemont has said he will not return to Spain unless he receives

0:33:01 > 0:33:08guarantees of a fair trial.

0:33:08 > 0:33:12The White House has attempted to downplay the findings of a major

0:33:12 > 0:33:15climate change report, compiled by 13 US federal agencies.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17The report said it was extremely likely, with 95%

0:33:17 > 0:33:19to 100% certainty, that global warming is manmade,

0:33:19 > 0:33:22mostly from carbon dioxide through the burning of coal,

0:33:22 > 0:33:23oil and natural gas.

0:33:23 > 0:33:30That contradicts what senior Trump officials have claimed.

0:33:30 > 0:33:34US President Donald Trump kicks off an 11-day trip to Asia this weekend,

0:33:34 > 0:33:36taking in South Korea, Japan and China.

0:33:36 > 0:33:40It will be the longest tour of Asia by a US president in 25 years.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Before setting out he visited Hawaii's Pearl Harbor to see a US

0:33:43 > 0:33:46battleship sunk by Japanese bombers in the Second World War,

0:33:46 > 0:33:48and received a security briefing from the US Pacific Command

0:33:48 > 0:33:58on issues including North Korea's nuclear programme.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01Only around a half of fixed speed cameras in the UK are actually

0:34:01 > 0:34:03switched on, according to figures obtained through a Freedom

0:34:03 > 0:34:04of Information request.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07And at least four police forces don't have any fixed speed

0:34:07 > 0:34:08cameras at all.

0:34:08 > 0:34:18Alan Clayton reports.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22The forces said they also use mobile cameras and regularly review which

0:34:22 > 0:34:28of the fixed cameras are switched on.

0:34:28 > 0:34:33Mike is here with the sport. How are you?Very good. A special day, the

0:34:33 > 0:34:38first round proper of the FA Cup, some teams have already played in

0:34:38 > 0:34:42six rounds to get to this dream occasion. The nonleague teams, the

0:34:42 > 0:34:47teams you might not have heard of before, even a team ten years ago

0:34:47 > 0:34:53that was a pub team. We will talk more about Shaw Lane Association.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57The first round sparked into life last night,

0:34:57 > 0:35:00but not in the way it was supposed to as a flare

0:35:00 > 0:35:04burned into the artificial pitch at the home of non league Hyde.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07There was to be no upset here, as League One MK Dons

0:35:07 > 0:35:09went ahead through Aiden Nesbitt and ended up easy winners.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12There were also surprise wins for League Two sides,

0:35:12 > 0:35:18Port Vale and Notts County.

0:35:18 > 0:35:22To one of my favourite stories of the cup.

0:35:22 > 0:35:26So far has been Shaw Lane Association,

0:35:26 > 0:35:29who were playing as a pub team less than a decade ago.

0:35:29 > 0:35:33They're from Barnsley and have been promoted five times in the past

0:35:33 > 0:35:34six years but will still start

0:35:34 > 0:35:40as big outsiders against League Two Mansfield.

0:35:40 > 0:35:44There's no pressure on us. The pressure's on Mansfield. There the

0:35:44 > 0:35:51football league side. We're a small club in Barnsley, nobody knows about

0:35:51 > 0:35:55us and it's the FA Cup, it's the romance of the FA Cup, it's all the

0:35:55 > 0:35:59cliches you can think of, giant killings, David versus Goliath, it's

0:35:59 > 0:36:02everything, and it happens, you know?

0:36:02 > 0:36:04The rampant Wolves will take some

0:36:04 > 0:36:06stopping in the Championship it seems.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09Their big summer spending is paying off and they're now four

0:36:09 > 0:36:11points clear at the top.

0:36:11 > 0:36:16Roman Saiss, and Leo Bonatini

0:36:16 > 0:36:17with the goals that beat Fulham,

0:36:17 > 0:36:19who haven't won in four games now.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22It's five years since Wolves were last in the Premier League.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25The former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has been

0:36:25 > 0:36:27suspended by his club Marseille while Uefa investigate him

0:36:27 > 0:36:30after he kicked one of his supporters in the head

0:36:30 > 0:36:30on Thursday night.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32It happened during the warm-up for

0:36:32 > 0:36:34Marseille's Europa League game against the Portuguese side

0:36:34 > 0:36:35Vitoria Guimaraes.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37Evra, who's 36, could face a lengthy ban.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40After the Scotland game, England are back in action at 9am UK

0:36:40 > 0:36:43time, and they'll be hoping to bounce back from their opening

0:36:43 > 0:37:03game defeat against Australia by beating Lebanon.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Scotland are bottom of their pool having already lost against Tonga in

0:37:06 > 0:37:12their opening match.

0:37:12 > 0:37:16After the Scotland game, England are back in action at 9am UK

0:37:16 > 0:37:19time, and they'll be hoping to bounce back from their opening

0:37:19 > 0:37:21game defeat against Australia by beating Lebanon.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23But the Lebanese are on the crest of a wave,

0:37:23 > 0:37:26above England in their group after a stunning win over France

0:37:26 > 0:37:28last weekend, which even surprised ahead coach.

0:37:28 > 0:37:33The problem with our team given they're not all professional, or not

0:37:33 > 0:37:37used to playing 80 minutes and having to concentrate for 80

0:37:37 > 0:37:41minutes, I thought the tough part was going to be the last ten minutes

0:37:41 > 0:37:45but they talk about the Lebanese spirit and passion and it shone

0:37:45 > 0:37:49through.

0:37:49 > 0:37:54The Ashes tour is under way, not the first test but the warmup is out of

0:37:54 > 0:37:58the way and you want to get your bad moments out of the way first.

0:37:58 > 0:38:03It's not been the best start to an Ashes tour for England's

0:38:03 > 0:38:07former captain Alistair Cook because he was out

0:38:07 > 0:38:11for a duck second ball in the warm-up match

0:38:11 > 0:38:15against a Western Australia Cricket Association XI in Perth.

0:38:15 > 0:38:16,

0:38:17 > 0:38:21We are 18 days away from the first Ashes test.

0:38:21 > 0:38:34in England 198four. Stoneman and Vince rescuing England. -- 198-4.

0:38:34 > 0:38:43England seam on top, four wickets down. -- are seeming.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47England's women are also in action down under this morning,

0:38:47 > 0:38:56they're taking on a Cricket Australia women's XI.

0:38:56 > 0:39:02Glasgow Warriors fans, eight Pro 14 games, eight wins.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04Their latest victory came over Leinster last

0:39:04 > 0:39:07night and it included one of the tries of the season.

0:39:07 > 0:39:08Just look where Nikola Matawalu receives

0:39:08 > 0:39:12the ball.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15From there the Fijian sets off, bypassing the Leinster

0:39:15 > 0:39:19defence one by one and just as it seemed he'd scored a memorable solo

0:39:19 > 0:39:22try he let Nick Grigg finish the job.

0:39:22 > 0:39:23The teamwork secured a bonus point.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26Elsewhere Scarlets beat Benetton and Munster thrashed the Dragons.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30Are you impressed, Naga?Very impressed, but what I'm worried

0:39:30 > 0:39:35about is the Leinster team because their manager must go, how on earth

0:39:35 > 0:39:40could you let that happen?It was so quick, wasn't it?They just fell

0:39:40 > 0:39:44around him.But between you you would think you could stop him. How

0:39:44 > 0:39:48many players, seven or eight? Falling like flies.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Now before we go here's Britain's Tour de France champion

0:39:50 > 0:39:53Chris Froome as you've never seen him before.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56No, he's not a yellow Lawrence of Arabia, but he could possibly

0:39:56 > 0:39:59have a career in martial arts movies after he stops racing bikes.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01This was the pre-race entertainment ahead

0:40:01 > 0:40:05of the Saitama Criterium in Japan.

0:40:05 > 0:40:12Is that a bit of Wushu?One yellow jersey to another.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16As you can see, Ninja Froome is clearly not a man to be messed

0:40:16 > 0:40:17with after displaying his considerable skills

0:40:17 > 0:40:18with a throwing star.

0:40:18 > 0:40:25Apparently that's the official word, throwing a star.Don't try that at

0:40:25 > 0:40:30home.How about trying this?No, don't!

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Imagine a wake board or surf board and put an engine on it,

0:40:33 > 0:40:34you have jet surfing, a sport that only came to the UK

0:40:34 > 0:40:36in the summer.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39It's catching on though, and semi-pro British rider

0:40:39 > 0:40:42Anya Colley will race for medals at the Motosurf World Cup

0:40:42 > 0:40:44off Naples in Italy this weekend.

0:40:44 > 0:40:52Before she left I revved the engines alongside her in training.

0:40:52 > 0:40:58At the cutting edge of a new way to walk on water, Britain's number one

0:40:58 > 0:41:02jet server Anya Colley who's made history this season competing in the

0:41:02 > 0:41:07Motosurf World Cup.A bit of a mix between serving, wait boarding and

0:41:07 > 0:41:11then anything with a throttle. If you done biking, if you've done

0:41:11 > 0:41:15cars, if you've done anything and you like speed you will be good at

0:41:15 > 0:41:19it. You've got to lean your whole body over to get it to turn good

0:41:19 > 0:41:24with the speed.Anya and indeed the whole of the UK are playing catch up

0:41:24 > 0:41:27in this latest motorsport. We only got involved a couple of months ago

0:41:27 > 0:41:31were for the first time a leg of the World Cup series was posted on these

0:41:31 > 0:41:36shores with 48 riders from around the world competing at why Guston in

0:41:36 > 0:41:40Bedfordshire. The sport had originally started in the Czech

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Republic when an inventor experimented by putting a

0:41:42 > 0:41:47lightweight engine into a surfboard. It has since spread to all corners

0:41:47 > 0:41:52of the planet. Until now to get across this like on a whiteboard I'd

0:41:52 > 0:41:57need a boat to Tony Watt if I was at sea on a surfboard I would need some

0:41:57 > 0:42:02waves, but now all the power is beneath my feet. -- wakeboard --

0:42:02 > 0:42:08Tony. At first beneath my belly, because that throttle is very

0:42:08 > 0:42:14sensitive. U-turn by leaning your body, that seems quite

0:42:14 > 0:42:20straightforward. And if you lean you go a bit faster and eventually you

0:42:20 > 0:42:25try and stand.You can actually go and have a boat and a driver and a

0:42:25 > 0:42:30watcher, I can actually go out and enjoy it any time I want and the

0:42:30 > 0:42:33beauty of the board, you can actually take it anywhere.It's like

0:42:33 > 0:42:36nothing else you've ever tried before. It gives you a real thrill

0:42:36 > 0:42:40that you're out there Mac and a real sense of freedom.Finally we're

0:42:40 > 0:42:52standing, I'm on my feet and we're burning along and my feet... With

0:42:52 > 0:42:57the board is only weighing 19 kg, the top speed is over 40 mph. But it

0:42:57 > 0:43:01feels so much faster. The engines run on biofuels which break up in

0:43:01 > 0:43:05the water. A good job really when we swallowed so much of it, initially

0:43:05 > 0:43:09at least, although the younger beginners were far cooler.That was

0:43:09 > 0:43:15well awesome. The speed, the balancing, like, you've really got

0:43:15 > 0:43:21to balance on it. It's kind of hard to keep your balance. But it's

0:43:21 > 0:43:24awesome when it's going fast.It's now hoped more beginners around the

0:43:24 > 0:43:29UK will get a chance to try and carved like Anya as she targets a

0:43:29 > 0:43:34medal in the last leg of the World Cup series this weekend off Italy.

0:43:34 > 0:43:38The word on the series is Anya only started competing this summer but

0:43:38 > 0:43:42already she is challenging the best in the world from Eastern Europe,

0:43:42 > 0:43:46and whether she'll get a medal this time, the last race in the World Cup

0:43:46 > 0:43:50series today off Italy, maybe next season she could win it.This has

0:43:50 > 0:43:54taken off very quickly.It is great fun, it is really an adrenaline

0:43:54 > 0:43:59rush. When you're learning, as you get faster the board rears up at the

0:43:59 > 0:44:03front and then you have to get your balance and it kept making me off.

0:44:03 > 0:44:08That looked quite fun in its own weight.You always underplay how

0:44:08 > 0:44:13well you do but you did brilliantly. Thanks bromance, Naga, I will pay

0:44:13 > 0:44:23you later -- its own Do we need a wetsuit outside when we are walking

0:44:23 > 0:44:25around? That could be an interesting

0:44:25 > 0:44:26around? That could be an interesting look! I

0:44:26 > 0:44:31think you could do that anywhere. A wetsuit will probably come in handy.

0:44:31 > 0:44:37Not a great start in some parts of the UK. It is an improving day,

0:44:37 > 0:44:44turning brighter and also colder. Clearer skies. Speckled cloud here.

0:44:44 > 0:44:48A massive swathe across the UK at the moment is producing the wettest

0:44:48 > 0:44:52weather across England. Some heavy and persistent rain at the moment

0:44:52 > 0:44:59pushing eastwards. Not a huge amount of rain in Suffolk and Kent. It will

0:44:59 > 0:45:02be wet in the afternoon here. Elsewhere, lots of surface water

0:45:02 > 0:45:08around. Lots of surface water in the west and a few showers by nine

0:45:08 > 0:45:14o'clock. The cloud showing signs of breaking up. It will feel cool. The

0:45:14 > 0:45:17wind already working on across Scotland and Northern Ireland. A

0:45:17 > 0:45:21better chance of some morning sunshine. Showers in the north and

0:45:21 > 0:45:26west will become heavy. Sleet and snow on high ground. By the weather

0:45:26 > 0:45:29pushing on across Wales and much of England into the afternoon. It takes

0:45:29 > 0:45:34until the end of the afternoon, maybe sunset, before the cloud and

0:45:34 > 0:45:37rain will pull away from parts of East Anglia. Most finished the day

0:45:37 > 0:45:43reasonably well, turning colder. They're in mind the chill tonight if

0:45:43 > 0:45:47you are heading out to any fireworks displays. Northern and western areas

0:45:47 > 0:45:52most are in the showers. Eastern parts most likely to be dry. With

0:45:52 > 0:45:56the clear skies is where the coldest weather will be. Frost in some parts

0:45:56 > 0:46:01of eastern Scotland. Not far off it in eastern England as well. In the

0:46:01 > 0:46:08Sunday, -- into Sunday a cold start. Brighter in eastern parts of

0:46:08 > 0:46:12England. Showers in western England, Wales, Northern Ireland and northern

0:46:12 > 0:46:16Scotland. Again wintry over high ground. Showers becoming fewer

0:46:16 > 0:46:22through the day. Eastern coast of England would have an afternoon or

0:46:22 > 0:46:27evening shower. More sunshine around tomorrow afternoon. Dry, but feeling

0:46:27 > 0:46:31chilly in the wind. That will be a feature for the firework displays

0:46:31 > 0:46:36tomorrow and temperatures will drop quickly. Definitely dress warm if

0:46:36 > 0:46:39you are heading to any firework displays. Dropping below freezing by

0:46:39 > 0:46:48midnight across much of Scotland and you will have a frost. Monday will

0:46:48 > 0:46:51be a chilly start across England and Wales in particular. Touch of frost

0:46:51 > 0:46:55around. The best of the brightest weather on Monday will be for

0:46:55 > 0:47:01England and Wales. Turning cloudier and went through the day, but not as

0:47:01 > 0:47:04windy in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Topsy-turvy autumn weather

0:47:04 > 0:47:06continues.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08Ireland. Topsy-turvy autumn weather continues.

0:47:08 > 0:47:12That's autumn though, isn't it? It is. Nothing unusual.

0:47:12 > 0:47:19Don't panic, it will all be fine!

0:47:19 > 0:47:23We'll be back with the headlines at 7am but first it's time for Click

0:47:40 > 0:47:43If it feels like the weather is getting weirder, well,

0:47:43 > 0:47:46that's because it is.

0:47:46 > 0:47:49In many parts of the world, meteorological records seem to be

0:47:49 > 0:47:52tumbling virtually year after year.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55And as gets more erratic and extreme, the need for accurate

0:47:55 > 0:48:00forecasts becomes vital.

0:48:00 > 0:48:03This is the BBC's Weather Centre at New Broadcasting House.

0:48:03 > 0:48:07This is where they take their best guess at what the next few days

0:48:07 > 0:48:09are going to look like.

0:48:09 > 0:48:13We kind of take it for granted, these days, but as you would expect,

0:48:13 > 0:48:15there's an awful lot of numbercrunching that goes on,

0:48:15 > 0:48:17which is what Ben is doing right now.

0:48:17 > 0:48:19Hi, Ben. Hi, Spencer.

0:48:19 > 0:48:21You might recognise Ben, he's on the telly!

0:48:21 > 0:48:24Ben is taking raw data from the Met Office on this screen

0:48:24 > 0:48:28and turning it into something more akin to what we see on the TV.

0:48:28 > 0:48:32It all goes to make up that familiar weather map that we know and love.

0:48:32 > 0:48:35And for the UK, each 4km square gets its own individual

0:48:35 > 0:48:40forecast from the Met Office.

0:48:40 > 0:48:44Other services can provide an even more granular forecast.

0:48:44 > 0:48:47But swing around to Africa and it's a very different story.

0:48:47 > 0:48:51Here we're working at much lower resolution.

0:48:51 > 0:48:53The squares here are only 25 kilometres across.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56One of the reasons is because data is particularly thin

0:48:56 > 0:49:00on the ground here.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03Now, over the coming month or so, we're going to be looking at how

0:49:03 > 0:49:05technology is changing this continent.

0:49:05 > 0:49:10And to start our journey, Dan Simmons has travelled

0:49:10 > 0:49:13to Tanzania to meet a chap who used to work here,

0:49:13 > 0:49:15but who is now on a mission to improve the forecast for Africa.

0:49:19 > 0:49:24Sub-Saharan East Africa is lush.

0:49:24 > 0:49:26The soils are rich.

0:49:26 > 0:49:29It's the end of a very wet rainy season.

0:49:29 > 0:49:36Too wet for some farmers, who saw their crops rot.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38Angus and Asha farm in Lushoto.

0:49:38 > 0:49:42They tell me climate change has made it difficult to predict the seasons.

0:49:42 > 0:49:44They've gone from drugs to flood in recent years,

0:49:44 > 0:49:52and lost harvests in both.

0:49:52 > 0:49:55Next door, Peter's been planting jeska, type of runner bean which can

0:49:55 > 0:49:59take as little as six weeks to grow.

0:49:59 > 0:50:01In September to October, the rainfall are very harsh.

0:50:01 > 0:50:08It rush the topsoil to down there.

0:50:08 > 0:50:11But last season, he lost his entire crop to sudden,

0:50:11 > 0:50:15heavy, early rains.

0:50:15 > 0:50:17The farmers here know what they are doing,

0:50:17 > 0:50:25they just don't quite know any more what the weather's up to.

0:50:25 > 0:50:28Former BBC weather presenter and keen gardener, Peter Gibbs,

0:50:28 > 0:50:32wants to do something about that, and he's found a pretty neat way

0:50:32 > 0:50:35to explain it to me.

0:50:35 > 0:50:36I think you're like this, though.

0:50:36 > 0:50:38All right. The big reveal...

0:50:38 > 0:50:44Oh, wow! Oh my word!

0:50:44 > 0:50:45Look at this!

0:50:45 > 0:50:48Is that grand or what? That is huge!

0:50:48 > 0:50:50That goes on forever, doesn't it?

0:50:50 > 0:50:55It just... yeah.

0:50:55 > 0:50:57This gives you some idea of the scale of Africa.

0:50:57 > 0:51:01The drop here is about 1,000 metres from where we are.

0:51:01 > 0:51:03No, no, no, that is close enough! That's not...

0:51:03 > 0:51:06From the West Usambara Mountains, where we're standing,

0:51:06 > 0:51:07down to the Masai Plain.

0:51:07 > 0:51:10We're looking at an area here of just hundreds

0:51:10 > 0:51:12of square kilometres.

0:51:12 > 0:51:13Lots of weather going on.

0:51:13 > 0:51:18You can see clouds building over in the distance.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20Most of its farmed as well... Exactly.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23There's lots of people living out there, but no weather station

0:51:23 > 0:51:29you can see.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32So how do you do a good forecast here without that information?

0:51:32 > 0:51:33That's incredible.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36You know, back in the UK, you would have, at least,

0:51:36 > 0:51:39half a dozen, perhaps 15 weather stations in that sort of area.

0:51:39 > 0:51:42So you can see the problem.

0:51:42 > 0:51:43So the satellites can't do it.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45Because we have satellites, don't we?

0:51:45 > 0:51:47The satellites can do a bit of it.

0:51:47 > 0:51:51The satellites can pick up some of the clouds we can see,

0:51:51 > 0:51:54but can't estimate the rain how much rain one of these shower

0:51:54 > 0:51:55clouds can produce.

0:51:55 > 0:51:57You need those measurements of the ground.

0:51:57 > 0:51:58Was the other parameters, like temperature, humidity,

0:51:58 > 0:51:59and pressure...

0:51:59 > 0:52:01You know, it's like any commuter programme,

0:52:01 > 0:52:02garbage in, garbage out.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05Peter's advising a start-up, Kukua, that wants to pepper Africa

0:52:05 > 0:52:07with these.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10Fully automated, self-reporting low-cost

0:52:10 > 0:52:12weather stations.

0:52:12 > 0:52:15They can be monitored from anywhere, looking up to Africa's extensive

0:52:15 > 0:52:17mobile cell network.

0:52:17 > 0:52:20Kukua placed their first station last year and will have more

0:52:20 > 0:52:25than 100 operating by Christmas.

0:52:25 > 0:52:29So what do we get on our fully automatic weather station?

0:52:29 > 0:52:31Well, we've got a bucket up here, which measures the rainfall.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34There's a little seesaw device in there which goes backwards

0:52:34 > 0:52:40and forwards for every drip that comes through.

0:52:40 > 0:52:43That tells us how quickly the rain is falling,

0:52:43 > 0:52:45as well as how much rain is falling.

0:52:45 > 0:52:50An anemometer a bit of giving us the wind speed and direction

0:52:50 > 0:52:52by the vane there at the very, very top.

0:52:52 > 0:52:55This is the solar panel, which powers the whole thing

0:52:55 > 0:52:57and is also rather cleverly used

0:52:57 > 0:53:01to tell us how much sunshine we're getting.

0:53:01 > 0:53:05Just behind it in this hive kind of affair is the temperature gauge.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07It also measures humidity and it's stuck in there

0:53:07 > 0:53:10so it can't be affected by direct sunlight or more heat coming

0:53:10 > 0:53:14from the ground, which is dissipated by this housing.

0:53:14 > 0:53:17All of that data has to be collected by a panel

0:53:17 > 0:53:23round at the back, which is sent to this communications unit.

0:53:23 > 0:53:26It has a SIM card that works in every African country.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29What some of us would do for one of those...

0:53:29 > 0:53:32And then it uses this transmitter to send it all back to base.

0:53:32 > 0:53:35That goes back to Europe, and then from the guys in Europe,

0:53:35 > 0:53:39they will produce a model, which will give people back

0:53:39 > 0:53:46here a more accurate weather forecast.

0:53:46 > 0:53:48It's already making a difference.

0:53:48 > 0:53:56Farmers like Peter get daily text alerts, giving them a steer

0:53:56 > 0:54:02as to what to expect.

0:54:02 > 0:54:06And this farmer told us his texts have helped him decide when best

0:54:06 > 0:54:07to add fertilizer and pesticides.

0:54:07 > 0:54:09We can actually make a massive difference

0:54:09 > 0:54:10to the farmers themselves.

0:54:10 > 0:54:11Up to 80% yield increases.

0:54:11 > 0:54:14That would be the difference between eating to stay alive

0:54:14 > 0:54:15and sending your children to school.

0:54:15 > 0:54:17And it's not just the personal impact.

0:54:17 > 0:54:20Health agencies can use improved forecasts to better predict

0:54:20 > 0:54:21outbreaks of malaria or cholera.

0:54:21 > 0:54:25And insurers want to know if they need to pay out on policies.

0:54:25 > 0:54:27This information gap is holding the continent back.

0:54:27 > 0:54:30The Coco Belt in West Africa is shifting.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33Multinationals want to know which way and by how much.

0:54:33 > 0:54:36And it'll be selling on the big data Kokua collect that will help pay

0:54:36 > 0:54:41for what's looking like a pretty big job.

0:54:42 > 0:54:44Well, across the whole of Africa at the moment,

0:54:44 > 0:54:46there are around 500, just 500, reliable

0:54:46 > 0:54:49reporting weather stations.

0:54:49 > 0:54:52To get good coverage, you need to get up

0:54:52 > 0:54:58to something like 20,000.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00From my point of view, after my years in meteorololgy,

0:55:00 > 0:55:03I think it's fantastic that I feel I can make

0:55:03 > 0:55:04use of that experience,

0:55:04 > 0:55:11to actually make a difference to people's lives.

0:55:11 > 0:55:14That was Dan Simmons with Peter Gibbs in Tanzania.

0:55:14 > 0:55:16We'll have more reports from the African continent

0:55:16 > 0:55:20later this month on Click.

0:55:27 > 0:55:31Microsoft boasts its new XBox One X is the most powerful games console

0:55:31 > 0:55:38in the world!

0:55:38 > 0:55:40They've stopped short of calling it the most powerful console

0:55:40 > 0:55:44in the galaxy, I suspect they're saving that accolade for the machine

0:55:44 > 0:55:47comes after this one.

0:55:47 > 0:55:50But there's good reason for all this talk of power,

0:55:50 > 0:55:53and that is down to what lurks under the hood of this console.

0:55:53 > 0:55:56It has an eight core processor running at 2.3 gigahertz,

0:55:56 > 0:55:59a six teraflop GPU, 12gb of memory and a 4k Blu-ray player

0:55:59 > 0:56:00thrown in for good measure.

0:56:00 > 0:56:04This means that the machine can throw out 4k 60 frames per second

0:56:04 > 0:56:10graphics in HDR.

0:56:10 > 0:56:11Stunning...

0:56:11 > 0:56:14What those numbers and specs mean is that this box is capable

0:56:14 > 0:56:17of producing much sharper, crisper and more detailed graphics

0:56:17 > 0:56:20than the old XBox One S, which had a maximum resolution

0:56:20 > 0:56:22of 1080p, which is eye-offending high definition, as it's

0:56:22 > 0:56:33now probably now know.

0:56:34 > 0:56:37Look at this Porsche that I'm driving in Forza.

0:56:37 > 0:56:40I've managed to crash it and scrape it of a couple of times,

0:56:40 > 0:56:44and you can see every single dent and ding that I've put in the car,

0:56:44 > 0:56:46every single little bit of chipped paintwork.

0:56:46 > 0:56:48It really is very detailed.

0:56:49 > 0:56:52The One X can play games made for the older XBox,

0:56:52 > 0:56:56but some titles will be enhanced, like Rise of the Tomb Raider here,

0:56:56 > 0:56:59which boasts upgraded 4k graphics and a higher frame rate,

0:56:59 > 0:57:00which makes everything look smoother.

0:57:00 > 0:57:05These enhancements won't be standardised, though.

0:57:05 > 0:57:08Microsoft says it is up to developers to choose how

0:57:08 > 0:57:11they will use the brunt the One X provides.

0:57:14 > 0:57:18This new digital virtuosity is great if you own a 4k TV.

0:57:18 > 0:57:22But if you are using a HD screen, the One X can give you a graphics

0:57:22 > 0:57:25bus, as well, making games look better than they would

0:57:25 > 0:57:29on the old machine.

0:57:29 > 0:57:32But how do they achieve this? Witchcraft?

0:57:35 > 0:57:37Or more precisely, super sampling, a technique that allows

0:57:37 > 0:57:41all the detail and information in a 4k image to be scaled down

0:57:41 > 0:57:44to fit into a 1080p screen, which, I suppose, is a form

0:57:44 > 0:57:49of silicon sorcery.

0:57:49 > 0:57:52Apart from prettier visuals, the new machine should enjoy faster

0:57:52 > 0:57:55load times and, unlike its 4k console rival, the PS4 Pro,

0:57:55 > 0:58:03the One X has a 4k Blu-ray play fitted as well.

0:58:03 > 0:58:05So the box does more stuff than the PS4 Pro,

0:58:05 > 0:58:07but it's also more expensive than

0:58:07 > 0:58:09the PS4 Pro as well.

0:58:09 > 0:58:12Microsoft is keen to see this in the world's most powerful

0:58:12 > 0:58:15console, but it is also the most expensive, at £449.

0:58:15 > 0:58:18And I think that might be the biggest hurdle that the XBox

0:58:18 > 0:58:25One X has to overcome, its price.

0:58:25 > 0:58:29And, as the games the machine plays are essentially the same as those

0:58:29 > 0:58:31on its least powerful older sibling, the One S,

0:58:31 > 0:58:35this console is probably appeal only going to appeal to those with spare

0:58:35 > 0:58:37cash burning a hole in their pocket,

0:58:37 > 0:58:38or those with a 4k TV

0:58:38 > 0:58:43on which to watch the prettier pictures the console produces.

0:58:43 > 0:58:45That casts gloom over everything, doesn't it, lads?

0:58:45 > 0:58:48What a drag he is!

0:58:48 > 0:58:54Thanks for watching and we'll see you soon.

1:00:12 > 1:00:15Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.

1:00:15 > 1:00:18New claims about the conduct of MPs swirl around Westminster.

1:00:18 > 1:00:20The Conservatives suspend Charlie Elphicke and refer

1:00:20 > 1:00:23what are described as serious allegations about him to the police.

1:00:23 > 1:00:29The MP says he's done nothing wrong.

1:00:29 > 1:00:31And three Labour MPs all dispute complaints made

1:00:31 > 1:00:32about their behaviour towards women.

1:00:32 > 1:00:35We'll have the latest from Westminster.

1:00:48 > 1:00:51Good morning, it's Saturday the 4th of November.

1:00:51 > 1:00:52Also this morning:

1:00:52 > 1:00:55Police in New York say they are investigating

1:00:55 > 1:01:00a credible rape allegation against Harvey Weinstein.

1:01:00 > 1:01:03New figures reveal that only half the UK's fixed speed-cameras

1:01:03 > 1:01:08are actually switched on.

1:01:08 > 1:01:11In sport, it's fantasy football time

1:01:11 > 1:01:23for over 50 teams living the dream in the FA Cup,

1:01:23 > 1:01:26but there was no fairytale end for non-league

1:01:26 > 1:01:28minnows Hyde, who were given a Football League education

1:01:28 > 1:01:29by the Milton Keynes Dons.

1:01:29 > 1:01:33And Matt has the weather. Good morning.

1:01:33 > 1:01:36Wet start to the weekend for some but things will get drier,

1:01:36 > 1:01:39brighter and colder through the day with a few showers

1:01:39 > 1:01:40in the north and west.

1:01:40 > 1:01:43Full forecast coming up in the next 15 minutes.

1:01:43 > 1:01:44See you then.

1:01:44 > 1:01:44Good morning.

1:01:44 > 1:01:45First, our main story.

1:01:45 > 1:01:47The Conservative MP, Charlie Elphicke, has been suspended

1:01:47 > 1:01:50by the party after it said serious allegations had been passed

1:01:50 > 1:01:51to the police.

1:01:51 > 1:01:53The party didn't specify what the allegations

1:01:53 > 1:01:55were or who had made them.

1:01:55 > 1:01:57Mr Elphicke, a member of the Commons Treasury Select Committee,

1:01:57 > 1:02:00said the media had been told of his suspension first

1:02:00 > 1:02:03and he wasn't aware of the nature of the claims.

1:02:03 > 1:02:07Here's our political correspondent, Chris Mason.

1:02:07 > 1:02:17New allegations are emerging ever more frequently.

1:02:17 > 1:02:28Political parties accused by some of a previous unwillingness

1:02:28 > 1:02:28to be open

1:02:28 > 1:02:32about allegations they themselves were aware of now want to be seen

1:02:32 > 1:02:33to be acting quickly.

1:02:33 > 1:02:35This is Charlie Elphicke, the Conservative MP for Dover

1:02:35 > 1:02:38since 2010 who this morning wakes up no longer a Tory MP,

1:02:38 > 1:02:40at least for now.

1:02:40 > 1:02:42That's because last night the man in charge of discipline among

1:02:42 > 1:02:45Conservative MPs, the new Chief Whip Julian Smith,

1:02:45 > 1:02:46issued a statement:

1:02:58 > 1:03:00In practice, this means Mr Elphicke remains

1:03:00 > 1:03:03in the Commons but for now isn't a Conservative MP.

1:03:03 > 1:03:10Charlie Elphicke's anger about how he's been treated is clear.

1:03:10 > 1:03:11He said:

1:03:12 > 1:03:13He added:

1:03:19 > 1:03:21Meanwhile, the Labour MP Clive Lewis has

1:03:21 > 1:03:23strongly denied an allegation of impropriety at the Labour Party

1:03:23 > 1:03:30Conference in September.

1:03:30 > 1:03:37I don't, as a rule, at packed Labour Party conferences grope

1:03:37 > 1:03:40people's bottoms when I greet them.

1:03:40 > 1:03:43It's just not how I roll, it's just not what I do.

1:03:43 > 1:03:49This is a place gripped by trepidation about

1:03:49 > 1:03:50about what may come next.

1:03:50 > 1:03:52Individuals fearful for their own reputations,

1:03:52 > 1:03:58others fearful for the very reputation of politics excels.

1:03:58 > 1:04:00others fearful for the very reputation of politics itself.

1:04:00 > 1:04:02Chris Mason, BBC News, at Westminster.

1:04:02 > 1:04:04Let's speak now to our political correspondent, Emma Vardy,

1:04:04 > 1:04:10who's in Westminster.

1:04:10 > 1:04:16Emma, political correspondent is, MPs, must be wondering when and

1:04:16 > 1:04:22where this is going to end?-- political correspondence. A fraught

1:04:22 > 1:04:27week at Westminster, you get the sense there are years if not decades

1:04:27 > 1:04:31of allegations about sexual misconduct that's coming to light.

1:04:31 > 1:04:38An addition to that report, this week we saw Michael Fallon, the

1:04:38 > 1:04:41Defence Secretary, resigned, Damian Green and Mark Garnier are under

1:04:41 > 1:04:45investigation by the Cabinet office, Kelvin Hopkins suspended from Labour

1:04:45 > 1:04:53and last night we heard the former Labour Cabinet Minister Ivan Lewis

1:04:53 > 1:04:58apologised for making women feel uncomfortable but didn't make any

1:04:58 > 1:05:01nonconsensual sexual advances. Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are

1:05:01 > 1:05:05under pressure over this. Theresa May has published a new code of

1:05:05 > 1:05:09conduct for the Conservatives, set up a new hotline and there will be

1:05:09 > 1:05:13an independent figure to oversee complaints and there will be a

1:05:13 > 1:05:15cross-party meeting on Monday to establish an independent grievance

1:05:15 > 1:05:17procedure

1:05:17 > 1:05:19establish an independent grievance procedure. You get the sense parties

1:05:19 > 1:05:23are braced for more allegations and more people coming forward and we

1:05:23 > 1:05:27don't know where this will end up. For now, thank you very much indeed.

1:05:27 > 1:05:30Police in New York say they have a viable case

1:05:30 > 1:05:32against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

1:05:32 > 1:05:34The announcement came after actress Paz de la Huerta claimed that

1:05:34 > 1:05:36Mr Weinstein raped her twice in 2010.

1:05:36 > 1:05:40She is among dozens of women who have come forward since October

1:05:40 > 1:05:42to accuse the 65-year-old of sexual misconduct.

1:05:42 > 1:05:44He has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.

1:05:44 > 1:05:48David Willis reports.

1:05:48 > 1:05:50Recent weeks have seen a torrent

1:05:50 > 1:05:53of allegations against Harvey Weinstein.

1:05:53 > 1:05:58Now comes the first word of a possible arrest.

1:05:58 > 1:06:01New York detectives following up a call to the department last week

1:06:01 > 1:06:04are investigating an actress's claimed that the former movie mogul

1:06:04 > 1:06:07raped her twice back in 2010.

1:06:07 > 1:06:11They say the woman's account is detailed and credible.

1:06:11 > 1:06:12We have an actual case here.

1:06:12 > 1:06:15We are happy with where the investigation is right now.

1:06:15 > 1:06:17Mr Weinstein is out of state.

1:06:17 > 1:06:19We would need an arrest warrant to arrest him.

1:06:19 > 1:06:22So right now we're gathering our evidence, we continue to do

1:06:22 > 1:06:26so every day.

1:06:26 > 1:06:33When some of Hollywood's biggest names, among them Gwyneth Paltrow

1:06:33 > 1:06:37and Angelina Jolie, came forward to accuse Harvey Weinstein

1:06:37 > 1:06:40of sexual harassment he issued a statement emphatically denying any

1:06:40 > 1:06:41allegation of nonconsensual sex.

1:06:41 > 1:06:43He's now under investigation here, in Los Angeles

1:06:43 > 1:06:45and in the UK as well.

1:06:45 > 1:06:47Like ripples in a pond, the accusations of misconduct

1:06:47 > 1:06:50against men of wealth and influence appeared to be growing rapidly.

1:06:50 > 1:07:00David Willis, BBC News, Los Angeles.

1:07:00 > 1:07:03Netflix has cut all ties with Kevin Spacey, who plays

1:07:03 > 1:07:05the lead role in one of its most successful programmes,

1:07:05 > 1:07:06House of Cards.

1:07:06 > 1:07:09The company said it would no longer be involved in the series

1:07:09 > 1:07:12if the actor continued to be part of it.

1:07:12 > 1:07:14The announcement came after Mr Spacey faced allegations

1:07:39 > 1:07:42Mr Puigdemont has said he will not return to Spain unless he receives

1:07:42 > 1:07:44guarantees of a fair trial.

1:07:44 > 1:07:47The White House has attempted to downplay the findings of a major

1:07:47 > 1:07:49climate change report compiled by 13 US federal agencies.

1:07:49 > 1:07:53The report said it was extremely likely, meaning with 95% to 100%

1:08:29 > 1:08:33Only around a half of fixed speed cameras in the UK are actually

1:08:33 > 1:08:35switched on, according to figures obtained through a Freedom

1:08:35 > 1:08:36of Information request.

1:08:36 > 1:08:40The data reveals that at least four police forces have no fixed speed

1:08:40 > 1:08:43cameras at all, and 13 have fewer than half actively

1:08:43 > 1:08:43catching speeding drivers.

1:08:43 > 1:08:44Alan Clayton reports.

1:08:44 > 1:08:47For motorists caught out by them, they infuriate and bring

1:08:47 > 1:08:48a hefty fine.

1:08:48 > 1:08:50Safety campaigners argue speed cameras are lifesavers.

1:08:50 > 1:08:52New research suggests only around half of the luminous boxes

1:08:52 > 1:08:54throughout the UK are operational.

1:08:54 > 1:08:56The Press Association sent a Freedom of Information request

1:08:56 > 1:09:00to all of the 45 forces asking how many fixed speed cameras they had

1:09:00 > 1:09:01and how many were active.

1:09:01 > 1:09:04The 36 which responded had a total of 2838 cameras,

1:09:04 > 1:09:06of which only 52% were working.

1:09:06 > 1:09:08Forces in Cleveland, Durham and North Yorkshire said none

1:09:08 > 1:09:23of their fixed speed cameras were active.

1:09:23 > 1:09:26While Northants said it turned its cameras off six years ago

1:09:26 > 1:09:33but left them in place to deter speeding.

1:09:33 > 1:09:35Those that replied said they used mobile speed cameras and regularly

1:09:35 > 1:09:44reviewed which cameras were turned on.

1:09:44 > 1:09:47I suspect in this case they're thinking that the yellow boxes

1:09:47 > 1:09:50are there, they're sending out the message that motorists ought

1:09:50 > 1:09:52to be recognising about risky roads, but they're also increasingly

1:09:52 > 1:09:55looking to more advanced technology such as average speed cameras,

1:09:55 > 1:09:58or indeed better engineering of the road, which might

1:09:58 > 1:10:02have a more beneficial affect.

1:10:02 > 1:10:05The National Police Chiefs Council said the decision to use cameras

1:10:05 > 1:10:08was an operational matter and that all forces have individual

1:10:08 > 1:10:10responsibility for their use of the cameras.

1:10:10 > 1:10:19Alan Clayton, BBC News.

1:10:19 > 1:10:23You wouldn't want to speed in this, you would want to prolong your

1:10:23 > 1:10:26journey so everyone had the time to take it in.

1:10:26 > 1:10:30It was fit for the king of rock n roll but how would it look

1:10:36 > 1:10:37It's expected to sell for $2 million.

1:10:37 > 1:10:42Do you want it?I have it on reserve for you for Christmas. Maybe that's

1:10:42 > 1:10:43not your style, how about music?

1:10:43 > 1:10:44Whitney Houston's grand piano,

1:10:44 > 1:10:48which was given to her as a gift by her husband Bobby Brown,

1:10:48 > 1:10:51is also going under the hammer, along with a nightgown that once

1:10:51 > 1:10:52belonged to Jackie Kennedy.

1:10:52 > 1:10:56I would look good in that.I think so.There are a variety of dresses

1:10:56 > 1:11:00to choose from.I will swap the car for the nightgown for Christmas.As

1:11:00 > 1:11:05long as you have the money! Mike will have the sport later and Matt

1:11:05 > 1:11:08will have the all-important weather for this bonfire weekend.

1:11:08 > 1:11:11After a week of allegations, we're starting to get details on how

1:11:11 > 1:11:14the political parties will deal with sexual assault

1:11:14 > 1:11:14and harrasment claims.

1:11:14 > 1:11:17The Conservatives say they'll force all elected officials

1:11:17 > 1:11:19and their staff to sign a new code of conduct.

1:11:19 > 1:11:22Labour says it will appoint an independent organisation to offer

1:11:22 > 1:11:29help and support to those affected.

1:11:29 > 1:11:32We're joined now by Jasmin Beckett, she sits

1:11:32 > 1:11:35on Labour's ruling National Executive Committee and had written

1:11:35 > 1:11:37to Jeremy Corbyn calling for a review on how the party

1:11:37 > 1:11:41dealt with claims.

1:11:41 > 1:11:48Thanks very much for that coming in. A week of allegations, did you think

1:11:48 > 1:11:52it would be like this by the end of this week and still so much

1:11:52 > 1:11:59uncertainty about what's to follow? No. When the first thing came out we

1:11:59 > 1:12:02were in an NEC meeting and we had just finished talking about the

1:12:02 > 1:12:06sexual harassment policy, which we had been working on all day, and

1:12:06 > 1:12:11discussing it for approval and then this started coming out and when the

1:12:11 > 1:12:16first came out, Bex Bailey, and she told us about her experiences, it

1:12:16 > 1:12:19was then inevitable that other people would feel able to come

1:12:19 > 1:12:25forward. Bex Bailey said she was attacked, she was raped a few years

1:12:25 > 1:12:32ago as a Labour Party worker. You have e-mailed Jeremy Corbyn

1:12:32 > 1:12:35calling for an independent investigation, have you had any

1:12:35 > 1:12:41response?Yeah. I was really happy yesterday that he and McNicol, the

1:12:41 > 1:12:47party general secretary, gave a response to that and they have put

1:12:47 > 1:12:54things in place -- Ian MacNicol. They are launching an independent

1:12:54 > 1:12:58investigation into the Bex Bailey case in particular. We've now got a

1:12:58 > 1:13:0324-hour hotline for those that want to come forward and give any of

1:13:03 > 1:13:07their experiences and make any complaints, we are making that much

1:13:07 > 1:13:09more apparent, and looking at training and maybe looking at the

1:13:09 > 1:13:14tentative measures.One of the issues that have come out, and we

1:13:14 > 1:13:20discussed this this week, the speed at which all politicians have

1:13:20 > 1:13:26reacted to these allegations or rumours or complaints. Bex Bailey

1:13:26 > 1:13:29was one of those who made her concerns very clear and they were

1:13:29 > 1:13:34passed through and they weren't acknowledged. What do you think...

1:13:34 > 1:13:38How do you think that reflects on the Labour Party?I think it's just

1:13:38 > 1:13:43really important now that we move forward. These past experiences are

1:13:43 > 1:13:47the reason why we're in this position now and why we realise

1:13:47 > 1:13:53there needs to be strong action on this. We have a party of 500,000

1:13:53 > 1:13:56members now and it's really crucial we are acting quickly whenever these

1:13:56 > 1:14:00things come forward, not only to protect those that have had these

1:14:00 > 1:14:04experiences but also to protect anyone else from having those

1:14:04 > 1:14:07experiences.You mentioned Labour was setting up this independent way

1:14:07 > 1:14:12of people being able to complain but it is Labour setting up that

1:14:12 > 1:14:15independent process, I wonder whether people will have faith in it

1:14:15 > 1:14:20and confidence in it if they have a grievance that within politics, we

1:14:20 > 1:14:24know how competitive and difficult politics can be, that they will be

1:14:24 > 1:14:31really treated independently?I really hope that something we can go

1:14:31 > 1:14:33with moving forward. Obviously the independent investigation is just

1:14:33 > 1:14:37into the Bex Bailey case at the moment but one of the things I'm

1:14:37 > 1:14:40calling for as I said on the NAC and the equalities committee in

1:14:40 > 1:14:48particular is to look at future complaints as well -- NEC.As a

1:14:48 > 1:14:52young person in politics, I don't know if you want to be an MP going

1:14:52 > 1:14:55forward, but when you see what's been happening and the allegations,

1:14:55 > 1:15:00what does that make you think about being involved in this?It really

1:15:00 > 1:15:04saddens me to be honest. I've been involved for six years since I was

1:15:04 > 1:15:0715, so these are people coming forward who I've gone through the

1:15:07 > 1:15:12party with so it saddens me and it makes me look at whether I want to

1:15:12 > 1:15:16go into that in the future. As long as we can take a positive step

1:15:16 > 1:15:20forward now, I hope we can get young people who want to get involved in

1:15:20 > 1:15:25politics a positive view of that.

1:15:25 > 1:15:29It's been spoken about that it's a generational thing and through the

1:15:29 > 1:15:32years people have adjusted their behaviour. Have realised what is

1:15:32 > 1:15:38acceptable, in terms of men and women interacting. Does it feel that

1:15:38 > 1:15:45Westminster is a good few steps behind decent society?We've got to

1:15:45 > 1:15:49be clear that sexual harassment was never acceptable and I think that's

1:15:49 > 1:15:53one thing at the moment we are saying, ten years ago it was fine.

1:15:53 > 1:15:59It was never find. It's just that... It's been brushed under the carpet.

1:15:59 > 1:16:04That's what the allegations are with many of the cases. It was ignored or

1:16:04 > 1:16:10pushed aside. So in a way it was just seen as what goes on.That

1:16:10 > 1:16:15isn't acceptable. It's really sad and I think that's why we are now in

1:16:15 > 1:16:19a much better position to deal with this, because society, and as we've

1:16:19 > 1:16:22seen in Hollywood, knows that this type of behaviour isn't acceptable.

1:16:22 > 1:16:28But does Westminster?I hope this scandal will make Westminster think

1:16:28 > 1:16:35about it. I don't think in the past it has seen this as fully

1:16:35 > 1:16:37unacceptable.Thank you.

1:16:37 > 1:16:40Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

1:16:40 > 1:16:43You have worn a special tie for

1:16:43 > 1:16:46You have worn a special tie for us! A closer look. Hopefully there will

1:16:46 > 1:16:51be some sparkling displays out there tonight and hopefully the weather

1:16:51 > 1:16:57will play ball as well. The day will turn brighter, but also colder,

1:16:57 > 1:17:02after what has been a very wet start for some. This is the view a short

1:17:02 > 1:17:06time ago in Leicestershire from our Weather Watcher. Not a great start.

1:17:06 > 1:17:12But things will improve. The colder air brings clearer conditions. You

1:17:12 > 1:17:17will notice the extensive cloud across the UK at the moment and it

1:17:17 > 1:17:20is in England where we have the heaviest and most persistent rain.

1:17:20 > 1:17:25Suffolk and towards Kent, not too much rain at the moment. It will

1:17:25 > 1:17:28turn more weight around lunchtime. Central and eastern England will

1:17:28 > 1:17:34have further persistent rain. Drying out in the west. A couple of showers

1:17:34 > 1:17:38into mid-morning. There will be some breaks in the cloud bit of sunshine

1:17:38 > 1:17:43coming through. And and Northern Ireland. Here, a few showers and a

1:17:43 > 1:17:47chilly breeze, which will strengthen through the day. Showers become more

1:17:47 > 1:17:51abundant for the north and west in Northern Ireland. A couple of

1:17:51 > 1:17:54showers in the western parts of England and Wales between the

1:17:54 > 1:17:58sunnier moments and eventually those sunnier moments will work in the

1:17:58 > 1:18:02east of England, although we will hold on to the cloud. A bit of rain

1:18:02 > 1:18:06in the parts of Norfolk and Suffolk. Note temperatures, it gets colder.

1:18:06 > 1:18:13Up to nine degrees as we finished the afternoon. Inner West you will

1:18:13 > 1:18:17probably need something waterproof this evening. -- in the west.

1:18:17 > 1:18:20Eastern England should be dry and clear. Temperatures will drop

1:18:20 > 1:18:26further steer overnight. We could have some frost into Sunday morning

1:18:26 > 1:18:30and across-the-board temperatures into single figures. Some frost in

1:18:30 > 1:18:35eastern parts of England. A cold start to Sunday, but in eastern

1:18:35 > 1:18:38areas much brighter. Still showers around in much of England and

1:18:38 > 1:18:43northern Scotland. Heavy thunder and snow on higher ground. Showers fewer

1:18:43 > 1:18:48in number through the day, at a few more towards the North Sea coast

1:18:48 > 1:18:52later. For many Sunday afternoon will be dry and clear. Chilly in the

1:18:52 > 1:19:02breeze. For tomorrow even in, -- evening, much cooler. Showers fewer.

1:19:02 > 1:19:07Frost forming in Scotland. That will lift as the cloud pushes into the

1:19:07 > 1:19:10night and into Monday morning, but elsewhere across England and Wales

1:19:10 > 1:19:15frost will gradually developed. For some of you Monday morning will have

1:19:15 > 1:19:19a frosty start and there will be some oscillating temperatures

1:19:19 > 1:19:23through next week. Some days will be cold, some will be mild. Back to

1:19:23 > 1:19:23you.

1:19:23 > 1:19:24cold, some will be mild. Back to you.

1:19:24 > 1:19:30Thanks very much.

1:19:30 > 1:19:36We are talking about water from leaks out of the UK pipe network. 3

1:19:36 > 1:19:39billion litres of water leaks is apparently enough, this is the kind

1:19:39 > 1:19:44of fact you love, to fill more than 1200 Olympic sized swimming pools.

1:19:44 > 1:19:46That's a scary fact!

1:19:46 > 1:19:49Despite efforts by water companies in England and Wales to plug

1:19:49 > 1:19:52the amount of water lost, it's an issue which doesn't look

1:19:52 > 1:19:56like it will be draining away soon, as Breakfast's Tim Muffett has been

1:19:56 > 1:19:58finding out.

1:19:58 > 1:20:05Disruptive... All the roads are blocked off and traffic was

1:20:05 > 1:20:09impossible.And expensive.People can't come to the shop because we

1:20:09 > 1:20:13have the flood.When water leaks the impact can be huge. It took four

1:20:13 > 1:20:17months to repair this road in Birmingham last year. Sometimes they

1:20:17 > 1:20:21are easy to spot. Underground they can go undetected for months or

1:20:21 > 1:20:28years. This is a new approach to a very old problem.We've got the

1:20:28 > 1:20:34drone attached to a really sensitive thermal camera that's going to be

1:20:34 > 1:20:40flying the length of the pipe, where we need to trace the leak.This is a

1:20:40 > 1:20:43demonstration, but Anglian Water will next week begin trialling a new

1:20:43 > 1:20:48way of finding leaks, with heat detecting drones in the air, a mix

1:20:48 > 1:20:52of hydrogen and nitrogen will be pumped into pipes.By putting the

1:20:52 > 1:20:56gas inside the pipe can then see that outside the pipe as if it were

1:20:56 > 1:21:00a meeting from a pinprick in a balloon and we can see the gas

1:21:00 > 1:21:04inside the soil. That's much more easy to pick up on a thermal imaging

1:21:04 > 1:21:07camera than say the escaping water. Images of pipes will be carefully

1:21:07 > 1:21:12analysed. It is hoped the tiniest of leaks will be picked up over thermal

1:21:12 > 1:21:16cameras on the drawings. It's a far cry from the traditional method of

1:21:16 > 1:21:21finding leaks that still widely used.What are you listening for?

1:21:21 > 1:21:25I'm listening for water escaping out of the pipe under pressure, which

1:21:25 > 1:21:31will make a wishing to sound.Some leaks are caused by corroded pipes,

1:21:31 > 1:21:35sometimes low temperatures and ground movement are to blame. It's a

1:21:35 > 1:21:38very old-fashioned piece of technology, isn't it?It gives you

1:21:38 > 1:21:42an idea that there a leak in the vicinity of where you are working.

1:21:42 > 1:21:46It doesn't pinpoint exactly where. You attempt to tackle the problem

1:21:46 > 1:21:49have been welcomed by the consumer council for water, which represents

1:21:49 > 1:21:54customers.What they see is big companies make a lot of profit,

1:21:54 > 1:21:59wasting water, and that really winds customers up.Next month the

1:21:59 > 1:22:02consumer council will publish its annual report on leaks across

1:22:02 > 1:22:10England and Wales.There are about 1%. There is a lot of progress after

1:22:10 > 1:22:14prioritisation, but that progress has now stopped.Some companies have

1:22:14 > 1:22:17improved leakage rates and different criteria are used to measure

1:22:17 > 1:22:22progress, but when it comes to cubic metres of water leaks per kilometre

1:22:22 > 1:22:28of pipe, worst performers are United Utilities in the north-west of

1:22:28 > 1:22:32England, then South Staffordshire Water and in last place Thames

1:22:32 > 1:22:36water. Its leakage rate is over twice the national average. All

1:22:36 > 1:22:41three companies told us that reducing leakage was a priority and

1:22:41 > 1:22:43that more resources were being committed to tackling the problem.

1:22:43 > 1:22:48But with more than three early in litres leaking from UK water pipes

1:22:48 > 1:22:54each day, the challenge would be draining away any time soon. --

1:22:54 > 1:22:57won't be.

1:22:57 > 1:23:053 billion litres a week! I still can't get over that figure. Naga?

1:23:05 > 1:23:12Yes. Normally I would be quite grumpy because it is the fourth of

1:23:12 > 1:23:16November and usually we try not to talk about the C-word, Christmas,

1:23:16 > 1:23:22too early. But this year we are going to break the rules and is for

1:23:22 > 1:23:25good reason.

1:23:25 > 1:23:28We want to tell you about an idea to have a reverse

1:23:28 > 1:23:28advent calendar.

1:23:28 > 1:23:33The thinking behind it is that instead of you or your children

1:23:33 > 1:23:36having a treat a day in December, you give something.

1:23:36 > 1:23:39Emma Bradley is championing the idea along with her daughter,

1:23:39 > 1:23:40Erin.

1:23:40 > 1:23:45Good morning.

1:23:45 > 1:23:48Also with us is Jo Curry, from the charity Changing Lives.

1:23:48 > 1:23:55How does this work? You give, but obviously not into the Advent

1:23:55 > 1:24:00calendar.How did you start this? We started our hamper off and we are

1:24:00 > 1:24:05doing it this month so it has plenty of time to get to a charity. We are

1:24:05 > 1:24:09doing it in November. Everyday we are finding something and popping it

1:24:09 > 1:24:13into our hamper and then we are going to give it to one of our local

1:24:13 > 1:24:17charities and it will put a smile on somebody's face.So we are looking

1:24:17 > 1:24:23at the kind of stuff. A hairbrush, it is obviously brand-new.

1:24:23 > 1:24:27What things do you think are good to put in? Was it his children like you

1:24:27 > 1:24:34who will be receiving these gifts. -- because it is.Toiletries, toys

1:24:34 > 1:24:41and food.That's the thing, it's got to be practical, but also in terms

1:24:41 > 1:24:45of thinking about who is receiving these presents as well.That's

1:24:45 > 1:24:52exactly right.Sometimes the people in our hostel, it is families

1:24:52 > 1:24:56fleeing domestic abuse, and they don't have time to pack all of their

1:24:56 > 1:25:03toys, so we are asking people to put on -- in extra pillows.There a

1:25:03 > 1:25:13telescope.We are also thinking about the adults. That's why there

1:25:13 > 1:25:19are female hygiene products, there's deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste,

1:25:19 > 1:25:23or the kinds of things we take for granted. They are necessities, but

1:25:23 > 1:25:29we are making sure they are in there as well.Naga was saying we try not

1:25:29 > 1:25:33to talk about Christmas too early, but you say you are doing this in

1:25:33 > 1:25:37November. It does in the buildup Christmas give you a sense of giving

1:25:37 > 1:25:41and not just receiving. It changes the culture of Christmas.

1:25:41 > 1:25:45Absolutely. I brought my children up to think about others. They go to

1:25:45 > 1:25:49Play School and we are very much about the thing and this is our way

1:25:49 > 1:25:53of remembering what the real meaning behind Christmas is and giving, as

1:25:53 > 1:25:57well as receiving. It just helps the children to focus on those in our

1:25:57 > 1:26:05local community.In practical terms, how does this work? So a box is put

1:26:05 > 1:26:10together, like this, and then you take it to a charity?That's right.

1:26:10 > 1:26:15We operate across the north and in the Midlands they can be dropped off

1:26:15 > 1:26:19at any of our projects. But if you aren't in those areas I don't doubt

1:26:19 > 1:26:22that other charities would really welcome this sort of initiative.The

1:26:22 > 1:26:28idea is that then families can give presents. So it's something that

1:26:28 > 1:26:32would easily fall by the wayside if they are struggling financially. You

1:26:32 > 1:26:37put the wrapping on as well?I do. It's good for the charities if we

1:26:37 > 1:26:42don't wrap gifts because then the charities will need to check what's

1:26:42 > 1:26:45been received to make sure it is age-appropriate and so on. I've

1:26:45 > 1:26:51spoken to a local charity, so I know the demographics of the family we

1:26:51 > 1:26:56are supporting this year. But I put wrapping paper in and a pair of

1:26:56 > 1:27:01scissors and Sellotape, so that mum can wrap those presents.Or dad.Or

1:27:01 > 1:27:08dad. And give them to the children. We are just enabling a mum or dad to

1:27:08 > 1:27:11be able to give this Christmas and it is about their family, not ours.

1:27:11 > 1:27:15You said a couple of times about your community and local charities.

1:27:15 > 1:27:18How important is it for you that this is something happening where

1:27:18 > 1:27:24you live, on the doorstep?For me that's important because I think it

1:27:24 > 1:27:27helps the children have a bit more empathy and understanding, that it

1:27:27 > 1:27:31could be other children that live not far away from us. Poverty isn't

1:27:31 > 1:27:36exclusive. The matter where you live there's always somebody in need. I

1:27:36 > 1:27:40tell the children it would be something that just happening for a

1:27:40 > 1:27:44short time. We never know what's around the corner and how easy it

1:27:44 > 1:27:48can be. So for me it's important to help our local community.Have you

1:27:48 > 1:27:54spoken to your friends about this? No.Because perhaps they might think

1:27:54 > 1:28:02this is a good idea. Do you? Do you enjoy doing it?Yeah.What do

1:28:02 > 1:28:09you like about it?Because it makes people happy.That's what life is

1:28:09 > 1:28:14about, really, if we can just help everyone smile a bit more. Thanks

1:28:14 > 1:28:18very much and good luck with the box you are putting together.

1:28:18 > 1:28:21Good luck with all of the charity work you are doing.

1:28:21 > 1:28:26That was a great excuse for tinsel! We will give you that back and you

1:28:26 > 1:28:30can give it to the charity. Thanks very much.

1:28:43 > 1:28:46Headlines coming up.

1:29:32 > 1:29:39Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.

1:29:39 > 1:29:42Good morning, here's a summary of this morning's main stories

1:29:42 > 1:29:43from BBC News:

1:29:43 > 1:29:45He Conservative MP, Charlie Elphicke, has been suspended

1:29:45 > 1:29:48by the party after it said serious allegations had been passed

1:29:48 > 1:29:49to the police.

1:29:49 > 1:29:51The party didn't specify what the accusations were,

1:29:51 > 1:29:53or who had made them.

1:29:53 > 1:29:55Mr Elphicke, a member of the Commons Treasury Select

1:29:55 > 1:29:58Committee, said the media had been told of his suspension first,

1:29:58 > 1:30:05and he wasn't aware of the nature of the claims.

1:30:05 > 1:30:07Three Labour MPs have disputed complaints made

1:30:07 > 1:30:09about their behaviour towards women.

1:30:09 > 1:30:11Clive Lewis, Kelvin Hopkins and Ivan Lewis

1:30:11 > 1:30:12all deny any wrong doing.

1:30:12 > 1:30:15Labour has announced a raft of measures it says will make sure

1:30:15 > 1:30:23complaints are dealt with independently.

1:30:23 > 1:30:26Police in New York say they have a viable case

1:30:26 > 1:30:27against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

1:30:27 > 1:30:30The announcement came after the actress Paz de la Huerta

1:30:30 > 1:30:32claimed that Mr Weinstein raped her twice in 2010.

1:30:32 > 1:30:36She is among dozens of women who have come forward since October

1:30:36 > 1:30:38to accuse the 65-year-old of sexual misconduct.

1:30:38 > 1:30:43He has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.

1:30:43 > 1:30:45Netflix has cut all ties with Kevin Spacey,

1:30:45 > 1:30:48who plays the lead role in one of its most successful programmes,

1:30:48 > 1:30:49House of Cards.

1:30:49 > 1:30:53The company said it would no longer be involved in the series

1:30:53 > 1:30:55if the actor continued to be part of it.

1:30:55 > 1:30:57The announcement came after Mr Spacey faced allegations

1:30:57 > 1:31:03of sexual misconduct from a string of men.

1:31:03 > 1:31:05A Spanish judge has issued European Arrest Warrants

1:31:05 > 1:31:08for the sacked Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont and four

1:31:08 > 1:31:10of his allies who went to Belgium.

1:31:10 > 1:31:13The five failed to attend a High Court hearing in Madrid

1:31:13 > 1:31:15on Thursday, when nine other ex-members of the regional

1:31:15 > 1:31:16government were taken into custody.

1:31:16 > 1:31:20Mr Puigdemont has said he will not return to Spain unless he receives

1:31:20 > 1:31:24guarantees of a fair trial.

1:31:24 > 1:31:27The White House has attempted to downplay the findings of a report

1:31:27 > 1:31:29which goes against the Trump administration's view

1:31:29 > 1:31:35on climate change.

1:31:35 > 1:31:37The study, compiled by US government scientists,

1:31:37 > 1:31:40said it was extremely likely,

1:31:40 > 1:31:42with 95% to 100% certainty,

1:31:42 > 1:31:44that global warming is man-made, mostly from carbon dioxide

1:31:44 > 1:31:50through the burning of coal, oil and natural gas.

1:31:50 > 1:31:53President Donald Trump kicks off an 11-day trip to Asia this weekend,

1:31:53 > 1:31:55taking in South Korea, Japan and China.

1:31:55 > 1:31:59It will be the longest tour of Asia by a US president in 25 years.

1:31:59 > 1:32:02Before setting out he visited Hawaii's Pearl Harbor to see a US

1:32:02 > 1:32:05battleship sunk by Japanese bombers in the Second World War,

1:32:05 > 1:32:08and received a security briefing from the US Pacific Command

1:32:08 > 1:32:10on issues including North Korea's nuclear programme.

1:32:10 > 1:32:13Only around a half of fixed speed cameras in the UK are actually

1:32:13 > 1:32:16switched on, according to figures obtained through a Freedom

1:32:16 > 1:32:18of Information request.

1:32:18 > 1:32:21The data reveals at least four police forces don't

1:32:21 > 1:32:26have any fixed speed cameras at all.

1:32:26 > 1:32:29We've all tried to impress the boss when we're in a new job,

1:32:29 > 1:32:39so spare a thought for this poor pup.

1:32:39 > 1:32:42Rocky, a 7-month-old border collie, herded a whole flock

1:32:42 > 1:32:44of sheep into his farmer's house

1:32:44 > 1:32:53after a gate was left open to their pen.

1:32:53 > 1:32:58that's an achievement in itself. The farmer came in to find them huddled

1:32:58 > 1:33:03up in her house. I think the dog did a good thing, did what it was meant

1:33:03 > 1:33:08to do. Rocky saw a door, a load of sheep, they needed to go from one

1:33:08 > 1:33:12place to the other, he did it.On thinking about Rosalind's carpet, I

1:33:12 > 1:33:16don't know how long they were in there but it would have been very

1:33:16 > 1:33:22messy indeed.Would have been cold outside so Rocky did well.Keep the

1:33:22 > 1:33:26gate shut in future.It would be interesting to hear stories about

1:33:26 > 1:33:31mishaps on the first day of work from our viewers. If you can, get in

1:33:31 > 1:33:35touch with us.A former newspaper editor, I broke his arm playing

1:33:35 > 1:33:40football in the first week I was there. Not good.I knew you would

1:33:40 > 1:33:46have a story. If you have a story, get in touch.

1:33:46 > 1:33:51Let's move to the FA Cup, a special day for 54 teams playing in the

1:33:51 > 1:33:55first round of the FA Cup proper and this is why this competition is

1:33:55 > 1:34:00unique. Hide United had a striker called Tom Pratt playing for them

1:34:00 > 1:34:06last night, his day of glory on BBC, he finished the game and did a night

1:34:06 > 1:34:11shift at a warehouse, he is still there, good morning! -- Hyde.He

1:34:11 > 1:34:16must be exhausted.Imagine if they had won? Could have been even worse.

1:34:16 > 1:34:17They didn't quite win.

1:34:17 > 1:34:20The first round sparked into life last night,

1:34:20 > 1:34:23but not in the way it was supposed to as a flare

1:34:23 > 1:34:26burned into the artificial pitch at the home of non league Hyde.

1:34:26 > 1:34:29There was to be no upset here, as League One MK Dons

1:34:29 > 1:34:32went ahead through Aiden Nesbitt and ended up easy winners.

1:34:32 > 1:34:35There were also surprise wins for League Two sides,

1:34:35 > 1:34:40Port Vale and Notts County.

1:34:40 > 1:34:43To one of my favourite stories of the cup,

1:34:43 > 1:34:45the rise of Shaw Lane Association,

1:34:45 > 1:34:48who were playing as a pub team less than a decade ago.

1:34:48 > 1:34:51They're from Barnsley and have been promoted five times in the past

1:34:51 > 1:34:53six years but will still start

1:34:53 > 1:34:55as big outsiders against League Two Mansfield.

1:34:55 > 1:34:56There's no pressure on us.

1:34:56 > 1:34:57The pressure's on Mansfield.

1:34:57 > 1:34:59There the football league side.

1:34:59 > 1:35:01We're Shaw Lane Association, a small club in Barnsley,

1:35:01 > 1:35:03nobody knows about us and it's the FA Cup,

1:35:03 > 1:35:07it's the romance of the FA Cup, it's all the cliches you can think

1:35:07 > 1:35:09of, giant killings, David versus Goliath,

1:35:09 > 1:35:15it's everything, and it happens, you know?

1:35:15 > 1:35:17The rampant Wolves will take some

1:35:17 > 1:35:19stopping in the Championship it seems.

1:35:19 > 1:35:22Their big summer spending is paying off and they're now four

1:35:22 > 1:35:23points clear at the top.

1:35:23 > 1:35:24Roman Saiss, and Leo Bonatini

1:35:24 > 1:35:26with the goals that beat Fulham,

1:35:26 > 1:35:28who haven't won in four games now.

1:35:28 > 1:35:37It's five years since Wolves were last in the Premier League.

1:35:37 > 1:35:40At the moment they are on course for a return again.

1:35:40 > 1:35:42The former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has been

1:35:42 > 1:35:45suspended by his club Marseille while Uefa investigate him

1:35:45 > 1:35:48after he kicked one of his supporters in the head

1:35:48 > 1:35:48on Thursday night.

1:35:48 > 1:35:50It happened during the warm-up for

1:35:50 > 1:35:52Marseille's Europa League game against the Portuguese side

1:35:52 > 1:35:53Vitoria Guimaraes.

1:35:53 > 1:36:06Evra, who's 36, could face a lengthy ban.

1:36:06 > 1:36:10Not the best start for an Ashes tour for England's former captain

1:36:10 > 1:36:14Alastair Cook, he was out for a duck second ball in a warmup match

1:36:14 > 1:36:24against a Western Australia Cricket Association XI in Perth.

1:36:24 > 1:36:27Stoneman and Vince rescuing England.

1:36:27 > 1:36:34We are 18 days away from the first Ashes test.

1:36:34 > 1:36:36Scotland have been dismantled by New Zealand in their second

1:36:36 > 1:36:38Rugby League World Cup pool match in Christchurch.

1:36:38 > 1:36:40They lost 74-6, with the Kiwis scoring fourteen

1:36:40 > 1:36:42tries in a dominant performance.

1:36:42 > 1:36:44The result leaves Scotland bottom of their group,

1:36:44 > 1:36:57having already lost against Tonga in their opening match.

1:36:57 > 1:37:00England are back in action at 9am UK

1:37:00 > 1:37:03time, and they'll be hoping to bounce back from their opening

1:37:03 > 1:37:05game defeat against Australia by beating Lebanon.

1:37:05 > 1:37:07But the Lebanese are on the crest of a wave,

1:37:07 > 1:37:10above England in their group after a stunning win over France

1:37:10 > 1:37:12last weekend, which even surprised ahead coach.

1:37:12 > 1:37:15The problem with our team given they're not all professional,

1:37:15 > 1:37:17or not used to playing 80 minutes and

1:37:17 > 1:37:20having to concentrate for 80 minutes, I thought the tough part

1:37:20 > 1:37:24was going to be the last ten minutes but they talk about the Lebanese

1:37:24 > 1:37:26spirit and passion and it shone through.

1:37:26 > 1:37:33A great story.

1:37:33 > 1:37:35The former New Zealand international Robbie Hunter-Paul is part

1:37:35 > 1:37:38of the BBC punditry team and he joins me now.

1:37:38 > 1:37:45Was its pricing for you how easy it was in the end? -- it surprising.

1:37:45 > 1:37:49Scotland got unlucky, on the back end of a heavy defeat against Tonga

1:37:49 > 1:37:54last week, they came up against a white hot New Zealand team. New

1:37:54 > 1:38:00Zealand are proving a point at the moment, some teams have gone to

1:38:00 > 1:38:03other nations, they are saying they don't need those players and they

1:38:03 > 1:38:07are good enough.Which leads us on to talk about Lebanon, what a story,

1:38:07 > 1:38:12we associate cities like Brisbane with rugby league but not Beirut.

1:38:12 > 1:38:19How did this rise happen, where did it start?There's a huge Lebanese

1:38:19 > 1:38:23community in Sydney, so that's where the crux of it comes from, but there

1:38:23 > 1:38:27are some nice stories out of how the Lebanese players emigrated with

1:38:27 > 1:38:33families to Australia. That's where they are really getting that

1:38:33 > 1:38:37saturation. Because so many NRL players and high-ranking

1:38:37 > 1:38:44professional rugby league is art of Lebanese descent, you now have this

1:38:44 > 1:38:47groundswell in Lebanon itself. The Prime Minister or President of

1:38:47 > 1:38:53Lebanon tweeting saying congratulations because they had

1:38:53 > 1:38:58their first win against France last week. A big coup because the French

1:38:58 > 1:39:02recognise they are one of the heavyweights in rugby league.Should

1:39:02 > 1:39:06England fans be worried this morning?Probably not.England are

1:39:06 > 1:39:12that good.Be under no illusion, they lost to Australia last week,

1:39:12 > 1:39:15the scoreline flattered Australia, England have a lot of growth and

1:39:15 > 1:39:19they are coming together and they have one of the best coaches in the

1:39:19 > 1:39:22world if not the best.Your tempting fate now. What happened last week,

1:39:22 > 1:39:29why did they do so badly in terms of the result against Australia?It was

1:39:29 > 1:39:33the first half, the rabbit in the headlights thing, they spent 35 and

1:39:33 > 1:39:36it's defending but in the second half after so much defence they

1:39:36 > 1:39:47dominated Australia. With England they have so much potential, that

1:39:47 > 1:39:51happens in a World Cup, your team gets better and your combinations

1:39:51 > 1:39:54come together and this is why the game against Lebanon is so important

1:39:54 > 1:39:58because it gives time for your combinations in the right places,

1:39:58 > 1:40:04the spine, the halves, move the big boys around. England has arguably

1:40:04 > 1:40:11the best forward pack in the World Cup. This gives them an opportunity

1:40:11 > 1:40:15to fight for their place and that's what you want, internal competition,

1:40:15 > 1:40:20everybody biting at each other's heels.Can you tell me, you've been

1:40:20 > 1:40:24in the changing room when the manager has come in and given you

1:40:24 > 1:40:31and the team a thrashing.We call it the spray.Really? This is Rugby

1:40:31 > 1:40:35union, I know they are different. Very similar cultures, though.Can

1:40:35 > 1:40:38you tell me what would have been said in the changing room after this

1:40:38 > 1:40:43tried?This was in the Glasgow warriors match last week, amazing

1:40:43 > 1:40:49try. This is what happened. He takes it from his own line basically but

1:40:49 > 1:40:53look how many tackles he evades. This is from an artificial pitch, I

1:40:53 > 1:40:57don't know if that makes a difference but the players are

1:40:57 > 1:41:01diving at shadows. He's not shellfish because he doesn't try to

1:41:01 > 1:41:05score it himself.If that was me I would have held onto the ball and

1:41:05 > 1:41:09had my name written in the papers the next day -- selfish. I would

1:41:09 > 1:41:13never have passed the ball.What with the spray have been like from

1:41:13 > 1:41:17the Leinster manager?It's hard to coach against individual brilliance

1:41:17 > 1:41:22like that and it is hard to coach it. Depending on which room you work

1:41:22 > 1:41:26in... Something broke down earlier than the guys that fell off the

1:41:26 > 1:41:32tackles. -- you were in. The defensive reception is what happened

1:41:32 > 1:41:36and that's what needs to be picked up on. They should have tackled him

1:41:36 > 1:41:40in goal and they would have got the ball back.I need to take you to my

1:41:40 > 1:41:48house and watch the rugby with me to explain it all, that's what I need.

1:41:48 > 1:41:539am this morning he'll be on BBC. England play Lebanon. Lovely story.

1:41:53 > 1:41:57Really united the religion in that country, all playing on the same

1:41:57 > 1:42:03pitch in rugby league. Good luck today. 9am, England against Lebanon

1:42:03 > 1:42:10on BBC Two.Don't leave Robbie hanging.I did, didn't I? Not the

1:42:10 > 1:42:14Graeme Souness handshake, that was really painful last week.

1:42:14 > 1:42:18Do you like surfing, do you do a bit of surfing, wake boarding? I don't

1:42:18 > 1:42:25know if you have seen this in New Zealand, a surfboard or a wake board

1:42:25 > 1:42:29but it has got an engine on it.

1:42:29 > 1:42:31It's catching on though, and semi-pro British rider

1:42:31 > 1:42:34Anya Colley will race for medals at the Motosurf World Cup

1:42:34 > 1:42:36off Naples in Italy this weekend.

1:42:36 > 1:42:39Robbie looks like he doesn't approve of this whatsoever.It breaks all

1:42:39 > 1:42:42the rules, you take nature out of it.Have a look.

1:42:42 > 1:42:46At the cutting edge of a new way to walk on water, Britain's number

1:42:46 > 1:42:49one jet surfer Anya Colley, who's made history this season

1:42:49 > 1:42:54competing in the Motosurf World Cup.

1:42:54 > 1:42:57It's a bit of a mix between surfing, wakeboarding and then anything

1:42:57 > 1:42:58with a throttle.

1:42:58 > 1:43:00If you done biking, if you've done cars,

1:43:00 > 1:43:03if you've done anything and you like speed you will be

1:43:03 > 1:43:04good at it.

1:43:04 > 1:43:08You've got to lean your whole body over to get it to turn good

1:43:08 > 1:43:09with the speed.

1:43:10 > 1:43:13Anya, and indeed the whole of the UK, are playing catch up

1:43:13 > 1:43:14in this latest motorsport.

1:43:14 > 1:43:18We only got involved a couple of months ago were for the first

1:43:18 > 1:43:22time a leg of the World Cup series was hosted on these shores with 48

1:43:22 > 1:43:24riders from around the world competing at Wyboston in

1:43:24 > 1:43:24Bedfordshire.

1:43:24 > 1:43:27The sport had originally started in the Czech Republic

1:43:27 > 1:43:29when an inventor experimented by putting a lightweight engine

1:43:29 > 1:43:35into a surfboard.

1:43:35 > 1:43:38It's since spread to all corners of the planet.

1:43:38 > 1:43:42Until now to get across this lake on a wakeboard I'd need a boat

1:43:42 > 1:43:46tow me or if I was at sea on a surfboard I would need some

1:43:46 > 1:43:48waves, but now all the power is beneath my feet.

1:43:48 > 1:43:51Or at first beneath my belly, because that throttle

1:43:51 > 1:43:58is very sensitive.

1:43:58 > 1:44:01You turn by leaning your body, that seems quite straightforward.

1:44:01 > 1:44:04So now we're leaning, the next job is to go a bit faster

1:44:04 > 1:44:11and eventually you try and stand.

1:44:11 > 1:44:13You can actually go out on your own.

1:44:13 > 1:44:16You're not relying on having a boat and a driver and a watcher,

1:44:16 > 1:44:20I can actually go out and enjoy it any time I want and the beauty

1:44:20 > 1:44:23of the board, you can actually take it anywhere.

1:44:23 > 1:44:25It's like nothing else you've ever tried before.

1:44:25 > 1:44:28It gives you a real thrill that you're out there and a real

1:44:28 > 1:44:29sense of freedom.

1:44:29 > 1:44:32Finally we're standing, I'm on my feet and we're burning

1:44:32 > 1:44:38along on my feet...

1:44:38 > 1:44:41With the boards only weighing 19kg, the top speed is over 40mph.

1:44:41 > 1:44:51But it feels so much faster.

1:44:51 > 1:44:54The engines run on biofuels, which break up in the water.

1:44:54 > 1:44:58A good job really when we swallowed so much of it, initially at least,

1:44:58 > 1:45:00although the younger beginners were far cooler.

1:45:00 > 1:45:01That was well awesome.

1:45:01 > 1:45:04The speed, the balancing, like, you've really got to balance on it.

1:45:04 > 1:45:06It's kind of hard to keep your balance.

1:45:06 > 1:45:12But it's awesome when it's going fast.

1:45:12 > 1:45:16It's now hoped more beginners around the UK will get a chance to try

1:45:16 > 1:45:19and carved like Anya as she targets a medal in the last leg

1:45:19 > 1:45:28of the World Cup series this weekend off Italy.

1:45:28 > 1:45:28Talk

1:45:28 > 1:45:34about a spray. That's a spray! In rugby it is when

1:45:34 > 1:45:40you get a good telling. I wonder if Matt's in a good mood this morning.

1:45:40 > 1:45:43Fireworks happening. That was a stupid

1:45:43 > 1:45:45Fireworks happening. That was a stupid question, you are always in a

1:45:45 > 1:45:48good mood. But the weather isn't! The weather

1:45:48 > 1:45:53is not in a good mood this morning in eastern England. Good morning.

1:45:53 > 1:45:57This is the scene in Nottinghamshire. This is the scene

1:45:57 > 1:46:01just outside Glasgow. The sunshine is breaking through! Clear whether

1:46:01 > 1:46:07on its way, but also cold weather that will be with us by the end of

1:46:07 > 1:46:18the day. This cloud is thick. East Midlands, Lincolnshire, down to East

1:46:18 > 1:46:22Anglia, lots of rain. Parts of Suffolk, Essex and Kent, the rain

1:46:22 > 1:46:27will work its way back later. Across western areas the cloud and rain

1:46:27 > 1:46:31we've had so far will ease back to a couple of showers. We will start to

1:46:31 > 1:46:35see sunshine breaking through. Notice the drop in temperature in

1:46:35 > 1:46:39Scotland and Northern Ireland. A few sunny spells in eastern higher

1:46:39 > 1:46:44ground. Showers could be heavy today, even snow over high ground.

1:46:44 > 1:46:53More showers across western areas. Much of eastern Scotland should be

1:46:53 > 1:46:58fine and slowly brightening up in eastern England. It may take until

1:46:58 > 1:47:02the evening before clear skies pushing the east Anglia and the

1:47:02 > 1:47:04south-east. Good news for those heading to the fireworks displays in

1:47:04 > 1:47:08the east. It should be largely dry tonight. Just a couple of isolated

1:47:08 > 1:47:14showers. More showers in the west. You need something warm and

1:47:14 > 1:47:17something waterproof. Especially with the breeze. Showers keep going

1:47:17 > 1:47:21through the night in the north and west. With clear skies eastern

1:47:21 > 1:47:25Scotland and eastern England, temperatures dropped. Closed were

1:47:25 > 1:47:32frost to start Sunday. A better start in eastern England. Many parts

1:47:32 > 1:47:35of the east and Scotland staying dry through the day. In the west,

1:47:35 > 1:47:41showers around in the day. They will ease off into the afternoon and

1:47:41 > 1:47:44through the afternoon a couple of showers towards the North Sea coast.

1:47:44 > 1:47:49But most will be dry, with good sunny spells. That leads us into a

1:47:49 > 1:47:54cool evening. If there are any displays tomorrow, most of you will

1:47:54 > 1:48:00be dry, but it will be very chilly. A frost developing in Scotland.

1:48:00 > 1:48:04Overnight we will have a frost developing parts of central and

1:48:04 > 1:48:09eastern England as well. That's how it is looking. More details later.

1:48:09 > 1:48:10Thank you!

1:48:10 > 1:48:14it is looking. More details later. Thank you!

1:48:14 > 1:48:18We'll be back with the headlines at 8am, but first it's time

1:48:18 > 1:48:19for Newswatch with Samira Ahmed.

1:48:19 > 1:48:24Hello and welcome to Newswatch with me, Samira Ahmed.

1:48:24 > 1:48:27Has BBC News been too sympathetic to those wanting Catalonia to be

1:48:27 > 1:48:29independent of Spain?

1:48:29 > 1:48:32Was Newsnight right to label its special this week

1:48:32 > 1:48:41The Problem With Men?

1:48:41 > 1:48:44First, the week's news has again by dominated by accusations

1:48:44 > 1:48:48of sexual impropriety and inappropriate behaviour.

1:48:48 > 1:48:50We discussed on this programme a fortnight ago complaints

1:48:50 > 1:48:54that the allegations against Harvey Weinstein had

1:48:54 > 1:48:56dominated the agenda to excess.

1:48:56 > 1:48:59Now we've heard the same charge in relation to the latest slew

1:48:59 > 1:49:01of cases now focussed firmly on Westminster.

1:49:01 > 1:49:04Theresa May wants a new code of conduct to protect those working

1:49:04 > 1:49:07for MPs from sexual harassment.

1:49:07 > 1:49:10A woman tells the BBC how a senior Labour Party figure

1:49:10 > 1:49:15persuaded her to drop allegations of rape by a party member.

1:49:16 > 1:49:17Tonight at Ten:

1:49:17 > 1:49:19The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has

1:49:19 > 1:49:24resigned following allegations of inappropriate conduct.

1:49:24 > 1:49:25The allegations made against Michael Fallon,

1:49:25 > 1:49:27which prompted his resignation as Defence Secretary,

1:49:27 > 1:49:30and the attention given to it by BBC News, prompted this

1:49:30 > 1:49:34anonymous telephone message.

1:49:34 > 1:49:36Hello, I'm phoning to complain about this continual witch hunt

1:49:36 > 1:49:38on people being sexual predators.

1:49:38 > 1:49:48More worrying things are going on in the world.

1:49:48 > 1:49:50I agree that serious sexual predators should be
